I'm 80% sure the man in the top left of the last panel is Chipp's master, but it could also be someone the strip referenced and I didn't get. Probably both. Anyway I love Venom in the last panel. Look at him.

Nothing much to say here. Yomotsu sure does though about the last panel!

[ Now that text to the left is interesting. It's "u" with the indicator .. I've mentioned before that ヴ is a substitute for "v" in Japanese, but that's typically with this, the katakana "u". This is Hiragana "u" with the. (") Indicator, so I don't know what exactly is happening there but it sure is interesting. ]

I'm going to remind everyone that I don't understand Japanese when I say I have no idea what that means, or why Chipp is saying it. But I believe we've all learned something valuable here.

Go drink some water.

Reading the Robo-Ky side story from Ky's perspective makes it into an absurdist comedy

i spend far too much time thinking about the mini-ky's. In my defense, they're very cute.

#guilty gear #robo ky #ky kiske #illym art #since ky fighting justice made him heavily reconsider whether gears could live happy lives #slash whether gears could be anything but mindless beasts (paraphrasing) #do you think he went home after this and thought about all the robo kys he killed #because like. i like robo ky. ky is justified for fighting them considering the actions many of them take. #but i want to know if he thought about how every robo ky he fought was an individual with their own hearts. despite their purpose #though its emotionally complicated by the fact that theyre copies of him #i should think about it more. #but yeah its a really fucking funny story from kys perspective.

i just got like 20 ghost notifications on here so if that's you lmk because otherwise i'll have to port my mains blocklist over here and i don't want to deal with that

#tumblr isnt functional but im pretty sure if you have someone blocked on main they dont show up in notes of your other blogs #which is irritating because i would prefer to go scorched earth with everybody i have deemed deserving of a blocking. #if i block you you dont get to see my art. thumbs up #but it could very genuinely be that tumblr is messing up hardcore or somebodys account is under restrictions #(i have like 500 people minimum blocked and the majority of them are terfs or the like. if it was petty fandom drama i would just deal) #illym notes

[ A photo of Sirius, enraged. The text reads: ]

Huh? Why is the window broken? ....What? There was an emergency? I don't know anything about that.

Why are you so quick to get barbaric ideas like that, you idiot?! Your explanation is unbelievable!

[ The text within the Tumblr post reads: ]

I'm often asked about this.

Well, surely there's no reason for Sirius not to care, right?

(Let's just say that this is surely what happened during a break in the game...)

Dating sim where the male protagonist is Elphelt and the female protagonist is Robo Ky and whoever you don't pick is your best friend that you can't get with but there IS an ending where you give up on romance and deepen your friendship with the other.

It's a very difficult game because there are no sane dialogue choices in the entire game.

#ask me about this i would love to consider it. in every way possible. #illym notes #they share roughly the same romancable cast but there are a few that only one can romance #venom flat out doesnt show up when u play el: playing rk reveals that he runs away whenever she comes near

Trans butch Chipp is the woman of my dreams. Chipp's eating out of a bag instead of a bowl because honestly I feel like she'd have a phase where she thinks that's way more convenient.

Explaining the joke:

In Chipp's story path 3 in GG:XX, he gets brainwashed by Robo-Ky (yes, Robo-Ky has brainwashing / mind control abilities in GG:XX. It's played fairly seriously, but I find it funny). This is in order to use his abilities to accomplish the PWAB's agenda— capturing Japanese people.

In the game, Chipp successfully stabs Anji. Anji realizes what's going on and proclaims that he'll bring Chipp back to his senses (which he does not). The joke is that here, Anji is utterly oblivious to what Chipp was trying to do, assuming that Chipp's just trying to help him out.

Specific assistances:

@.yomotsu-hirasaka: Translating Robo-Ky's dialogue into regular text. Checked various small things for accurate transcribing.

Anonymous: Checked various small things for accurate transcribing.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this was awful and the entire reason it was awful is because I hold myself to an extremely high standard...

I noticed that the dialogue was similar to the dialogue between Chipp and Anji at the beginning of their meeting in Chipp's path 3. So in order to get a more accurate translation, I went to check a recording of of the dialogue on Youtube. However, it was just too different in tone and feeling for me to feel comfortable just using it without seeing the transcript.

So I said to myself, 'Let's go open up XX #RELOAD and change the language to Japanese; shouldn't take more than an hour all together'.

It turns out you can't change the language of XX #RELOAD. So I went to access XX #SLASH (because, well, may as well use the Japanese-only game if I'm going to be viewing the Japanese dialogue). It takes a while to access. I open it up, and check training mode quickly to make sure it's the correct version. It's the first iteration of XX. Not the third.

'Huh. Dang.' I say to myself, and proceed to actually access #SLASH.

It turns out #SLASH doesn't have a story mode.

I access XX again, utterly done with all of this, and then realize with dawning horror that I'll need to beat Ky's story path 2 in order to access Chipp's story path 3. Because the writers of XX really admired hedge mazes.

And then I remembered that the Guilty Gear Wiki has the original Japanese transcript along with having the English transcript.

And they had Chipp's full transcript.

It was... An exhausting and tumultuous use of 4 hours. But at least I can access Guilty Gear X Plus, now....? Like I've been wanting....?

Ugh.

Funny comic.

I've been rechecking some translations because I realized I was doing something incorrectly and I honestly forget how much I have to adjust these to make sense in English. More power to me, woohoo.... (<- exhausted...)

#thank you :) #chipp just realigned his spine kr something in this world. back pain solved

This week's wallpaper actually doesn't feature a specific fandom; it's my birthday this month, so I decided to draw my favorite OCs all hanging out. And a cake.

Let's pretend they would make me a cake instead of beating the shit out of me for all the trouble I cause them.

The small character with Sylv (bottom left) belongs to my friend (off-tumblr), and the small character with (NAME-PENDING) (bottom left) is Yuray, who belongs to @daeofthepast. The small character with Thalia (central top) is my own, Yvette.

I like this one. I don't draw half of them often enough.

I'm going to talk about them a bit now. Because I like all of them, and I think you all deserve to know some of their information.

Thalia Otrava (White hair in the center of the photo.) - A young woman who works as a maid. Dealing with a mysterious curse, she covers nearly every inch of her body to prevent its effects. Currently trying to find a cure, but she's losing hope. Needs a lot of sleep, and takes a while to wake up. (She/Her)

Yvette (On Thalia's head) - A demon responsible for many of the miseries within Thalia's life. A mother figure to her, though perhaps only so she can inflict emotional wounds that much worse. She becomes close with another member of the cast for their shared enjoyment of misery; Within some time, they're driven to utter hatred of each other for the differences in said misery. (She/Her).

Rye Fortuna (Brown hair next to Thalia) - A genderfluid teenager who left their father by the wishes of their mother when they were merely 10 years old. He didn't understand the realities of his situation for a few years, and was forced to take charge of other's safety at too young an age. Currently she lives with her mother's other children, trying to avoid the attention of those who fought the man she worked for in order to avoid being killed. While they're extremely anxious, they naturally take charge in situations that require a leader because of their prior experiences. The ribbon was a gift from her mother. (She/They/He)

Sylv Clayflower (Brown and teal hair in the bottom left) - A fixer by trade who only cares about things that interest xem. Considers social norms to be a social contract that individual parties agree to in order to keep public peace; thus, if one breaks them, she will shed them herself. Horrible with names and faces; there are many awkward situations in which one greets xem and she cannot recall them. (She/Xe)

[ NAME PENDING ] (Purple hair in the bottom right) - A bigender free spirit to the extreme, he cares little for those outside his friend group. She travels the continent with her friend Yuray, stealing from the rich and giving some of it to the poor. He finds enjoyment in flirting with others in order to take from them, or indeed to make fools of them. Within the story, she gets into severe trouble after making enemies with a dangerous man. He's very easy to get along with as long as he isn't deliberately being difficult; the jobs he's worked in the past have allowed him to develop a flexible personality. (She/He)
