#something is very obviously different about these two compared to my normal images on this blog. i acknowledge this #also the sv model is Really good. and since they always stare straight at the camera anyway… and no one pays attention to the background… #and the only high-quality phantump model i could find was so horribly shiny that its eyes were just white voids #in my defense‚ phantump always just stare straight at you in game #the lighting is different‚ yeah. that's probably the dead giveaway. beyond the background. but like. i'm the only being on the planet who #really likes phantump anyway. i feel like it's a generally forgettable pokémon to most folks #phantump #HELLO this one is a weird one. i have some explaining to do. so when i did this one i didn't know how to edit models really at all #and when i got the models for these‚ the xy models were super shiny. shiny to the point that it made their eyes fuckin invisible #and i decided that since you could barely tell it was phantump‚ i needed a different way to get these images #i remembered that in the SV dlc‚ every time you find a wild phantump‚ it just fucking. stares. at you. and i was like. aha #i kinda remembered because of the test stream that i did. tumblr user alligayytorr (am i getting the right amount of Ys) said #“haha i am getting a sneak peek” when i zoomed the camera in on a phantump. and i remembered that. and i was like. i can utilize this #and ended up using just an in-game screenshot of SV in replacement of the regular content. later on‚ after that #once we got into gen 7 and it became less and less reliable to find models‚ i had to learn how to edit them manually to remove the shine #i am a software dev. not a 3d modeler. this ended up coming down to editing the code of the models directly (which i ended up writing a #script to automate). now‚ today‚ january 22nd (the day of me writing these tags and updating this post)‚ i remembered this post was in the #queue and was not normal. so i went back‚ ran the script on the phantump and trevenant models‚ and unshinified them #then edited these two posts to be normal. i have left the original pictures i took under the cut for reference and as bonuses #because i really enjoy phantump. so that's why those images are there‚ and that's why these tags are here #just for posterity's sake‚ the folks who come here mostly for my commentary‚ i've left the ORIGINAL tags of the post when i initially #made it with the SV pictures up at the top (i wanted to rearrange them‚ but tumblr makes that Very difficult‚ so i left them as-is) #so if these tags are confusing to read i Apologize. but i hope now that you're at the bottom you understand what happened #i'm gonna go edit the trevenant post now

if I had a nickel for each rottmnt trend I set I would have 3 damn shiny nickels

#I inspired 2 other people to do a collab comic (neither are finished/posted yet but hey one I participated in and im excited for it!) #I made the peepaw leo cowboy trend go from a 2 to a 10 on the popularity scale #now all my mutuals are all also wanting to make keychains/merch #oh my god #nonsense #is now a good thing to mention that the next thing I want to do is one of those ask events #where for a full day people just send asks and instead of me (ell) answering its the 2al boys #drawings of them answering and everything #will probably do this sometime in december/early january #anyways leaving for a plane trip first in the morning tomorrow #and good news! #I finished lines for next 2al update #I think it was 59 panels...? #I think it was 59 goddamn panels. #so that will get posted whenever I get around to coloring it #which will probably be monday or tuesday #<3 #wish me luck imma be dying all day tomorrow btw #also keychain preorders are closing tomorrow #ok goodnight tumblr #I am just having many many thoughts tonight ig #also that 2al cameo in the cass video still feels like a fever dream. #that does not feel like it happened. #that did not hapen. #nope #I dreamed it #good lord is this a tag wall

the idea of ua teacher bakugou honestly makes me so sad, because you have to consider the possibility of him not making it to the end as a hero which !! is heart-breaking !!

but at the same time — there is something really cathartic i think about him growing up and growing out of measuring his worth by being number one, by being the best. and i like to think of him as a grumpy professor !! a bit like aizawa !! or him keeping a close eye on the shy, quiet students, watching out for them and always there to bully them (affectionate) along their path . or for him to be an all might to someone, a young kid that looked up to dynamight in his hay-day, now getting to follow directly under his lead.

#so sweet 🥺 #i think he'd be a good teacher #he's learned so much already from his relationship with deku #going from a lil bully to realizing his mistakes #to knowing you have to work as a team with your other heroes and that you cant do it all on your own #that being number one isnt everything #that you'll never grow if you think you're too good to learn from anyone else #i think his relationship with aizawa and jeanist would really help him in that aspect #and whenever he does something cool with his quirk all his students get all crazy excited and it makes him all 😏😏😏😏😎 #still makes him feel good lol #also bakugou in his unbuttoned white shirt with a loose tie and some glasses sitting in the teacher's lounge #coming up on him by surprise PHEW #HELLO SIR #okay bye #maybe will write something for him one day #blast from the past: hiatus q #edit to say: i wrote this in january and just found it in my drafts 🥺🥺🥺🥺 #✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: bakugou

hughie watching annie stand up to soldier boy when everyone is knocked down, knowing he has the temp v and the ability to step in to finally save her for once in what could have been a weak ending to a season long arc but instead ENABLING her to be the strongest version of herself by turning up the lights (also in a way, saving her by doing something only he could in that moment) is just. chef's kiss

#it could have been oh look annie here i am to save the day im gonna step in and do it #which also would have hardcore been a show of male savior complex #but instead playing to her strengths and enabling her from a safe distance knowing it had the best chance #this is the only time i have ever gone. GO HUGHIE in the show #we love it when we empower not overpower #the boys #the boys spoilers #what was funny was that it pushed soljackles boy back like. 1 metric foot #and didnt do anything else #but like #good scene overall i like it. picasso #hughie campbell #starlight #annie january

Tiny Token 3rd set

#i know this sheet a bit sparse but i'm starting a new one next time #so i figured i'd post these #i really should start to draw ii iii and iv more in these #tiny token #sleep token fanart #sleep token #i haven't even drew a tiny iv yet i think #no i have not #oh well #i'm planning a tiny token day for the holidays so that might be a good opportunity #by tiny token day i mean i probably going to take asks for them for a set period of time and work through them during that day #maybe even a weekend #but we'll see #first i have to survive the last 3 weeks of work #but yeah keep an eye out for Tiny Token Day if it's something you'd be interested in #'cause it's comin somewhere between xmas and the forst week of january i think #i don't think i'd have time before that #anyway #levynn tries to draw

>song. chosen for vibes

man this one came out very different from how i originally intended. still getting used to the new paper i guess

this is one of the gmnpcs i created for our Age of Ashes game, and i believe the only one that stayed from the beginning to the end. he is the (originally) young halfelf son of a human woman and her second husband, a dwarf, which is why he as a monk specialized in a kind of strong earth stance. the party tank: got to have AC 49 at the end. generally a good guy with modest ambitions that however kept rolling nat 20s in diplomacy and ended up becoming the reluctant seducer of the party. elf couples love him, frogs fear him. in combat swung wildly between rolling like ass and hitting nothing and suddenly kill-stealing everything. by the power of the reincarnation ritual he became a kitsune, and then a catfolk... perhaps he'll use his level 20 privilege to get someone to turn him back into a halfelf at some point. he's not really a fan of all this fur maintenance

#my works #februaroc #rol #rolling so well in diplomacy was really embarrassing for him #alas his good vibes were apparently irresistible #:) #gonna try to keep the style of this challenge rolling around the idea of portraits #we'll see how it goes #also will probably upload only once every two days #maybe less #depends on how january-like february is #realized a couple hours later i forgot to put the song

I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE!

#I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE ABOUT ANYTHING #IT DOESN'T HAVE TO OVERRIDE ALL OTHER PROGRAMMING EVER AGAIN #HA #MY GOD THAT FEELS LIKE TWO DECADES OF RELIEF #and I found out yesterday. that this year. next winter. it IS two decades. exactly. this is the year. every day i am shown new reminders #that keep me going in my mission to relearn to fully and instinctually trust my self #ever since [redacted therapist] asked me point blank and my IMMEDIATE response was complete disbelief #a firm 'you think there's any universe where i'd feel like i could trust myself? after my nonstop history of failures and being horrible?' #tone “No!” of disbelief #and a horrible way-too-harsh laugh that bolted out before I could strangle it off and stop it. #that woman never coddled my feelings any time I spoke something alarming or bullshit and that was so helpful to me #and the tone she let exist in her voice when she responded to me with a very uncharacteristic “Oh Katie.” #was so. so much more agonizing for me. than her responding with an immediate logical slam-dunk of the truth about healthy behavior and stuf #anyway ramble over i'm so tired. i've done so much trauma work this week i am Drained emotionally #now i see what the past several months but especially especially #the baffling (to me) infuriating out-of-control-speedrun-somatic-processing + every-health-condition-flaring slog that December and January #were for me when I hadn't expected anything to be wrong #...and the extremely specific way this certain zone and particular incident kept coming up over and over and over and over and OVER was not #a bug. it was a feature. thank goodness i trust myself for little things now bc that's the only way i was able to get to this other side #and look back and suddenly realize that my subconscious and body knew what they needed and had a plan in progress the whole time. just like #i rationally say I trust them to have and do. #and that perhaps maybe. for real for real instead of just TELLING myself hard enough a lie that i trust my self and i trust my body and tha #they always know their own needs and timing if really slow down and listen to them f u l l y #anyway. yeah. bye haha i need to stop oversharing on the internet #trauma evolution #shh katie #personal #my god. i wished for this day more than i wished for anything else my whole life. all these many many many many years. what magic. #add to journal #abuse

[crsentfairy]

do any of you have that one random memory of yourself as a child doing something very mundane but you remember that day in surprising detail down to the clothes your wore/how the room smelt? pls say yes

#crsent.txt #i specifically remember one day in the winter. it was january and a snow day. i was in the kitchen on the wooden round breakfast table #i had really fluffy pink pjs pants on and a little blue shirt with hannah montana on it #the snow storm was crazy to the point where it (temporarily) messed with our electricity/cable and i couldnt play girl games online #on my laptop for a little while bc of that. so i straight up got so invested in playing purble place/mahjong/spider solitaire #since back then (windows 7) had built-in games. mom made me plantains and eggs with sausage and tomatoes. i made myself hot cocoa. #the house was warm and smelt like food and mommy's perfume. life was good. i think this memory is vivid because of the happiness #i felt.

40k words for chapter 2 🫡

#I probably won't be able to write for the rest of this week because of work so I did some good writing today #can u believe they have me working 6 days a week again... blasphemy....... #I feel 80k words total on the horizon!! #ugghhh... I want to write so badly... I've been enjoying writing this fic so much these days... #but I have to work so much #by the time I get home late I'm too tired to do anything but eat and shower and sleep #retail work at this time is not for the weak... seriously #I wish I could give myself a magic energy beam #just to never be tired once I get home #january come soon pls I'm tired of the end of the year festivities already

[katanashipping]

So if I told you guys that I had written about 70% of a multichapter katanashipping fic, set about 5 years post-show, and I was thinking about starting to post it on AO3 to keep me motivated, what would you say 👀

#katanashipping #about the blogger #I started writing it in January 2023 #it has 58 chapters by now. but i keep fiddling with it instead of writing more sooo #i hope posting it might help? like in the good old days when writing was no plan; only vibes? #also if anyone is interested in beta reading... hmu i guess! #the villain is bishop by the way. #if that matters. #lots of secondary ships happening too. #anYWAY i am feeling oddly shy about this haha #am i using polls right

[thresholdbb]

i have a VOY confession: I skipped Threshold because the rating on imdb was SO so low... is it required viewing???

I was holding off on this question so I didn’t give you the most insane rambling answer, so thank you for your patience. Short answer: I definitely think it’s worth a watch. I, thresholdbb, am obviously biased about this, but imo Star Trek isn’t quite Star Trek without its delightfully campy side.

Threshold is often pointed to as the worst episode of Star Trek, and it has also been voted as such. That said, it really isn’t that bad. The science is iffy at best, but it’s science fiction and that part gets a pass in my book. It only veers into the ridiculous in the last act, otherwise it’s actually not bad. If it didn’t take a hard left at the end, people probably wouldn’t rag on it as much as they do.

Tom Paris has some excellent moments and Robert Duncan McNeill was having a blast being a mutant, chewing up all the scenery. The EMH has a bit that makes me laugh every time. Janeway is delightful as always. Plus, the episode won an Emmy for make-up.

Really though, I love what episodes like Threshold (and the like) represent: a willingness to take risks. Some of that has been lost in the bigger budget productions that have come after (they’re coming back around), but I unabashedly adore that these “bad” episodes exist. Plus now we get to poke fun at and enjoy hyper-evolved salamander babies for eternity. What’s not to celebrate?

#all Star Trek is good Star Trek #even bad Star Trek? #especially bad Star Trek #every day is threshold day #thresholdbb is threshold posting again #my answer might still have been rambling and insane I apologize #is it even star trek if you can’t poke some fun at it? #if you talk to other Star Trek fans often they will have a threshold and Tuvix opinion #I am always staunchly pro threshold and I don’t care #plus it spawned delightful art and a whole celebration day!! #mark your calendars January 29 is threshold day #taking risks means sometimes you fail and that’s perfectly ok #but I don’t think it’s a terribly bad episode I really like it #when I first saw it I was like ??? but then it grew on me and now I love it so much #I adore “bad” Star Trek #I feel the same about move along home and rascals and relics and and and #except for code of honor that one can die ok ilubye #but also like choice exists you don’t have to watch it if you really don’t want to I’m just some dodo on the internet idk
