Thank you so much for the beautiful piece about Lyra that you made ❤️ it really touched my heart

awww anon, this is such a sweet and short message to receive 🥹 Thank you for reading it, even if the content is pretty difficult; I appreciate it so very much that you read my comic about my beloved Lyra. She was my little light and joy and I'm so glad to have shared her🤍

[smile-files]

guys. i need your opinion of this. because i'm genuinely so confused now

what time period is the professor layton series in?? the prequel trilogy and the main trilogy. when are they supposed to be taking place

i could've sworn one of the games (though i forget which) mentions that someone's been to the moon already which would put them at least in the late 60s into the 70s going by our world's timeline... but i don't know maybe space travel was discovered earlier in this universe???

The unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching begins to fill the air. Whoever is coming seems to have brought some company along…

They are getting closer… and closer… and closer…

…and closer…

……until..................

"Goooooood evenin'!!" Comes the loud greeting from a certain blond man. A big smile on his face and all.

"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.

"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…

"My problem with 431 has never been Izuocha or shipping related. I’m not sure what gave you that impression anon" Because you said Izuku was OOC, that Ochaco's character was regressed, and openly expressed disappointment bkdk weren't "at each other’s heels for the rest of their lives", disliked the "lets chat more" ending, and openly discussed the idea Horikoshi was forced to make it an IzuOcha ending while calling it lackluster. Gives the impression the main reason you were upset was that the two ships you loved never became canon and thought the one that did was underwhelming.

You’re giving Izuocha way too much credit lmao

Bkdk could’ve been drawn making out on screen and I still would’ve been disappointed by the lack of hero partnership. Izuku’s attitude toward hero work is completely different from 430, seemingly fulfilled with teaching and mostly excited about the prospect of hanging out with friends, which is a crazy way to address hero work. And if Izuku had to move on from his dream for some nonsensical reason, Katsuki still pining after their old dynamic after 8 years is downright cruel. And that’s on top of the series turning around and making it so that ppl are intimidated by Katsuki’s attitude to the degree that it’s affecting his hero work, completely ignoring the last 200 chapters of development where he grows into a leader people respect even with his temper

Ochako’s character didn’t regress because she got together with Izuku, if you can call it that. It regressed because all of her development over the last 400+ chapters was thrown away and she’s once again incapable of prioritizing herself or her desires, and yet again needs to be pushed by Toga to go after what she wants because after 8 years, she’s still unable to take initiative. And after all that she doesn’t get to be honest about her feelings for Izuku either, simply agrees to his request to chat more. Of course I think it’s lackluster, am I supposed to think there’s anything groundbreaking about that? I don’t care about Izuocha going canon, I care about it being done at the expense of Ochako’s character when it didn’t need to

Yes I wondered about whether Horikoshi even wanted to make Izuocha canon, because I was trying to make sense of this mess. This “confession” was noncommittal even for Shonen standards and I have no interest in pretending I’m supposed to be impressed. However, I already disliked MHA’s ending before 431, the extra just made me dislike it more. Make tgck and bkdk canon and these issues still persist

Art Dump (Lore (?) Dump): Classroom Doodles.

Up to down

-Drawing salmon from memory

- Goopy guy is an old ship child I made in the Crossmare Amino, his name was 'Mistake' but I recently changed it when I got back into this. His name is now Nyeuwxanz (Pronounced either New-sans or Nuisance) but he more commonly goes by Dewdrop.

-Skele with an x across his face is a fusion/ ship child? of Cross and Dance. His name is Crisscross (Nickname: Applesauce).

- MSH (Mystery Show Host), UT OC for my Au, he's a shrabbit monster. The grinning cat mask to the left is his.

- Conceptualizing Papyrus for my AU (For now it will be named Made-for-War.) When I was into UT back in 2015-2016 I was pretty heavy on sans so never got to draw most of the other characters.

-Flowey/Asriel, he's just a little guy

-Young Asgore/Asgore, can't figure out how to draw him.

-More Asgore, he's my favorite UT character.

-MFW!Papyrus, Asriel and Sans for my AU.

-Asgore, still conceptualizing his design for my AU. (Touching the golden ring on his horn, I miss them.)

-Flowey/Asriel.

-MFW!Papyrus in my notes. Flowey on his shoulder.

-Flowey/Asriel torturing me in my notes.

-MSH with his ears down.

Nyeh.

-Conceptualizing Gaster for MFW AU. (To the far left might be his final design)

-MFW! sans and Papyrus (Their names outside their AU.)

Man there's really something about the way MCD very slowly sinks you into this bigger narrative and makes you forget it's "just" a minecraft world. Sure, as far as episode 24, we're still getting YouTube intros where she introduces herself as Jess, but we've also got Levin, and all of her struggles with potentially having to give him up. And there's the looming threat of the shadow knights, there's Sasha in the village, the subplot with dale and molly and logan and Donna, there's Zenix being missing. We've got Aphmau acting stressed, acting sad, acting worried about the NPCs in her village, regarding them more and more as people as they appear to BE people.

Side note, all the plot stuff with Lords being a reality-warping force, turning simple NPCs into evolved thinking + feeling characters and having those characters devolve when they're away, are we meant to see this as "the NPC's AI gets so advanced they become more involved characters in the video game but if you turn off the video game they cease to exist" or like "minecraft is a sort of portal for irl people to interact with this other dimension, which they see as the minecraft world, and they're warping the reality of another real place, and real people are forgetting their memories when the lords are disappearing" or what?

Players don't seem to be the only people who can be lords, given Bright Port's Lord Burt, who clearly has the same/similar effect on Brightport that Aphmau has on Phoenix Drop (his absence causes some guards to start forgetting things and acting weird, as well as some of the roads disappearing). Plus there's definitely some variance in the personalities and stories of the NPCs around her, Lord Burt says that Azura is a special guard that can't be corrupted by the king bc she's pure of heart and has a bond to him. I don't think we're meant to believe the NPCs are just NPCs, at least not by this point in the series.

I'm interested to see how this develops and I'm curious as to how I'll want to handle it in my potential rewrite, if I decide to divorce the plot from the game of minecraft entirely. Which I did intend to, to give the characters a bit more breathing room. I wanted to start out with all the characters being fully themselves so we can get good early interactions.

Though there is very much something to be said about Garroth being stuck in that NPC state and Aphmau being around slowly brings his memories and autonomy back. Especially since she never seems to hold it over him, just glad to get to know him as he becomes his own person again.

Could make it a curse that the King cast, to prevent the people of the kingdom from organizing against him on their own after he starts killing off lords to steal their land. Making the only real threats to him the remaining lords and not just any town full of peasants with a bone to pick. Much to consider.

I've ranted a whole lot about the importance of physical media in the past. I love physical media. I have a CD and vinyl collection of stuff from my favorite bands, and am currently getting back into reading and found I vastly prefer physical books over both ebooks and audiobooks. I got the entire DVD box of ATLA last year just so that I can watch it whenever I like.

But it took me until today to realize that the reason why is because of how badly all these digital streaming service-platforms have affected me.

Like, I found art from a webcomic a while ago that I thought looked really interesting, but have been putting off reading the thing for MONTHS. I couldn't quite put my finger on why until I found out yesterday that there are printed, physical copies for sale of the entire webcomic itself in book format. And despite absolutely insane shipping costs, I could at some point buy it, and keep it.

And now I finally started reading it, and I'm loving it.

Turns out, I would rather put myself through sickening, nauseating FOMO than risk the piece of media getting taken off the platform it's available on in the middle of me reading/watching it.

What the fuck.

[aromanticasterisms]

the anecdotes are very fun!! i like seeing characters out in the wild :] but. feels like when everyone asks for "characters in the open world" this is not really what they had in mind

[createandconstruct]

Posted this on Twitter but

Idk man… I think what gets me is the weight of this chapter. 430 had a bittersweetness to it but this feels doubled. Perhaps because this is very likely the last time we’ll see these characters but the send off in this extra chapter feels so quiet and melancholy…
