I would like to have a word with whoever designed Käärijä's tour schedule post. I just need to talk

#I CAN'T READ SHIT #MY EYES HURT #YOU KNOW YOU CAN CHANGE FONTS #IT'S NOT FRIENDLY TO DYSLEXIC PEOPLE #IT'S NOT FRIENDLY TO PEOPLE WITH GLASSES #HELL #IT'S NOT FRIENDY WITH PEOPLE WITH A FUNCTIONAL PAIR OF EYES #my eye sight is not that bad as I usally make it out to be but I can barely read anything #you knew this was going on instagram which screws up the quality anytime and still chose to have this font? ik it's his signature font #but you don't have to use it in everything #sorry for my rant #i'm not angry at Käärijä or his team #i just haven't seen such a bad design choice in a long time #Käärijä

Ok. This is a prequel AU where professors Sada, Turo, Birch, and Sycamore are college-aged and in a metal band which logo is the best option (Birch is the lead singer he flew in from Hoenn). I have band logo ideas

[ID: a Breaking Bad-like logo for Cytoplasm Blastocyst that uses the Chemical symbols for Oxygen and Arsenic. end of ID.]

Breaking Bad logo because science nerds making a metal band. Yes those are Oxygen and Arsenic, the second one make it edgy because Arsenic has Arse. Turo explained this to birch and he started laughing when Sycamore told him what Arse means in Galarian English and made breaking bad jokes is a terrible Blazikeney Accent.

[ID: Cytoplasm Blastocyst Logo made from Lipops, a cutesy font, but with drippiness to make it edgier. end of ID.]

It's implied Augustine drew this on a chalkboard and Turo shook his head and Spraying and they based the logo on the drips. Turo said it was too cutesy and told Birch to make Augustine the Drummer.

[ID: Cytoplasm Blastocyst logo with triangle-shaped letter A's and in Secreto Demo. End of ID.]

Drawn on a whiteboard by Sada. The eyes are from Clobbopus nd Polywrath respectively

[ID: Cytoplasm Blastocyst logo spelled with unown, a pokemon based off of the roman alphabet and an exclaimation point and question mark. End of ID.]

Just uses Unown that Birch took a Photo of

[ID: Cytoplasm Blastocyst logo with the melty monster font. End of ID.]

Made with a font called Melty Mon in the Pokemon universe, Sada rejected this from birch.

So it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted here but I just saw the Percy Jackson trailer (I know it’s been out for a while oops) and while it looks great I just need to complain about one tiny thing: the signs.

The trailer shows some signs on the camp ground, and they do that thing where they replace a couple of letters in English words with similar looking Greek words. Which would be fine but a) The letters make completely different sounds in Greek b) if this series is accurate, part of the premise is that the characters all read Greek c) This is a series about Greek mythology, inevitably ACTUAL Greek written words will come into play

For example, the two letter substitutes I spot in the trailer is the more subtle β, and the super common one Σ, which people love using as an E to make stuff look cool.

The issue with these? First, β, which is pronounce in English at Beta but in Greek is called “Veetah” makes V sounds, not a B one. (Also β is lowercase, the uppercase is written “Β”) There actually is no letter that makes the sound “B” in Greek, rather it is written using two letter, “μπ” the Greek equivalent of “mp”

Σ is so commonly used in place of an E that I lighten here it referred to as “the Greek E” The letter is actually named Sigma (see-yma), and makes the “S” sound. The ACTUAL Greek letter that makes the “E” sound is called Epsilon, and written “Ε” or “ε” when lowercase.

I’m not asking for a show about Greek mythology to be hyper realistic, I’m just asking that when one of its premises is that the main characters have brains that are “hardwired for Ancient Greek” that they at the very least double check with someone who knows the language, or at the very least a phonetic guide to the Greek alphabet, to confirm the signs at Camp Halfblood would be easy to ready/likely to be made by someone fluent in that language.

I’d love to be proven wrong and see the show actually make reference to the incorrect usage of the letters. Surely on a show with this much focus on Ancient Greece would know better.

#also this is not to say that I think everyone who uses the letters like this is bad #because even though it is frustrating I’ve begun to view it as a font choice #but this is literally a series in which prettt much every character is meant to read and speak Ancient Greek #percy jackson #PJO #Percy Jackson TV #Rick Riordan #Disney plus #pjo disney+

Inktober Day 28: Sparkle

Linktober is Sparkle for the 28th, too! I don't know if that was intentional, but it certainly convinced me to do something about it. Sparkling brings to mind (for me) Undertale and Deltarune's save points.

The floor took abysmally long. It seems simple enough, but getting the black to line up with the white properly, getting the inner squares straight, and getting the corners nice and sharp was weirdly hard.

I picked the Last Corridor because I liked the scenery and it was easy to find a ref. I mildly regret it. Although easy in digital pixels from a front view, I now know that checkerboards are very difficult hard to get square. At least making the floor reflective at the end was satisfying.

"H-Hi... we're back home..."

"But... sergeant, what's going on? Do you feel sick?"

"Don't worry. How are the guests?"

"I will be eternally grateful to her... if Lady Natsumi is leading the team that's in the kitchen I'm certain that our guests will appreciate it a lot..."

📚 A List Of Useful Websites When Making An RPG 📚

My timeloop RPG In Stars and Time is done! Which means I can clear all my ISAT gamedev related bookmarks. But I figured I would show them here, in case they can be useful to someone. These range from "useful to write a story/characters/world" to "these are SUPER rpgmaker focused and will help with the terrible math that comes with making a game".

This is what I used to make my RPG game, but it could be useful for writers, game devs of all genres, DMs, artists, what have you. YIPPEE

Writing (Names)

Behind The Name - Why don't you have this bookmarked already. Search for names and their meanings from all over the world!

Medieval Names Archive - Medieval names. Useful. For ME

City and Town Name Generator - Create "fake" names for cities, generated from datasets from any country you desire! I used those for the couple city names in ISAT. I say "fake" in quotes because some of them do end up being actual city names, especially for french generated ones. Don't forget to double check you're not 1. just taking a real city name or 2. using a word that's like, Very Bad, especially if you don't know the country you're taking inspiration from! Don't want to end up with Poopaville, USA

Writing (Words)

Onym - A website full of websites that are full of words. And by that I mean dictionaries, thesauruses, translators, glossaries, ways to mix up words, and way more. HIGHLY recommend checking this website out!!!

Moby Thesaurus - My thesaurus of choice!

Rhyme Zone - Find words that rhyme with others. Perfect for poets, lyricists, punmasters.

In Different Languages - Search for a word, have it translated in MANY different languages in one page.

ASSETS

In general, I will say: just look up what you want on itch.io. There are SO MANY assets for you to buy on itch.io. You want a font? You want a background? You want a sound effect? You want a plugin? A pixel base? An attack animation? A cool UI?!?!?! JUST GO ON ITCH.IO!!!!!!

Visual Assets (General)

Creative Market - Shop for all kinds of assets, from fonts to mockups to templates to brushes to WHATEVER YOU WANT

Velvetyne - Cool and weird fonts

Chevy Ray's Pixel Fonts - They're good fonts.

Contrast Checker - Stop making your text white when your background is lime green no one can read that shit babe!!!!!!

Visual Assets (Game Focused)

Interface In Game - Screenshots of UI (User Interfaces) from SO MANY GAMES. Shows you everything and you can just look at what every single menu in a game looks like. You can also sort them by game genre! GREAT reference!

Game UI Database - Same as above!

Sound Assets

Zapsplat, Freesound - There are many sound effect websites out there but those are the ones I saved. Royalty free!

Shapeforms - Paid packs for music and sounds and stuff.

Other

CloudConvert - Convert files into other files. MAKE THAT .AVI A .MOV

EZGifs - Make those gifs bigger. Smaller. Optimize them. Take a video and make it a gif. The Sky Is The Limit

Marketing

Press Kitty - Did not end up needing this- this will help with creating a press kit! Useful for ANY indie dev. Yes, even if you're making a tiny game, you should have a press kit. You never know!!!

presskit() - Same as above, but a different one.

Itch.io Page Image Guide and Templates - Make your project pages on itch.io look nice.

MOOMANiBE's IGF post - If you're making indie games, you might wanna try and submit your game to the Independent Game Festival at some point. Here are some tips on how, and why you should.

Game Design (General)

An insightful thread where game developers discuss hidden mechanics designed to make games feel more interesting - Title says it all. Check those comments too.

Game Design (RPGs)

Yanfly "Let's Make a Game" Comics - INCREDIBLY useful tips on how to make RPGs, going from dungeons to towns to enemy stats!!!!

Attack Patterns - A nice post on enemy attack patterns, and what attacks you should give your enemies to make them challenging (but not TOO challenging!) A very good starting point.

How To Balance An RPG - Twitter thread on how to balance player stats VS enemy stats.

Nobody Cares About It But It’s The Only Thing That Matters: Pacing And Level Design In JRPGs - a Good Post.

Game Design (Visual Novels)

Feniks Renpy Tutorials - They're good tutorials.

I played over 100 visual novels in one month and here’s my advice to devs. - General VN advice. Also highly recommend this whole blog for help on marketing your games.

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

[demon-teletubbies]

One of the most important parts of this film is the design of each individual character. Due to the sheer number of characters introduced in this film, the way each character is presented visually provides development and world building that would otherwise be glossed over for the sake of time. By incorporating the Sex Pistols font, lace code (blue meaning killed a cop), bold colors, and other symbols representative of the 70s English Punk scene into Hobie's character design, a backstory is given to an otherwise enigmatic character. Including watercolor-style backgrounds that changed along with the mood of the scene Into Gwen's world, emotions could be conveyed without the use of dialogue which contributed to the complexity of the character. Interestingly, Miguel's design was very discordant. While his suit was futuristic, electronic to the point of glitching out and staticing when Miles overloaded it with energy, his face noticeably still had its sketch lines, giving him rough and unfinished feel. I believe this is a stylistic choice that plays into the ongoing theme that Miguel is not quite where he is supposed to be, as seen in Peters joke about how he is the only unfunny Spiderman or the fact that he's seemingly using synthesized venom to act as Spiderman. Ultimately the best design character was the Spot. I am astonished that the writers and directors of this movie developed a villain that was only in a handful of TV show episodes and comics, never being taken seriously, into a genuinely frightening character with a serious vendetta. Much of this is done through the development that the Spot's design has throughout the movie. As the characters style shifts from that of Miles' own Earth to 2D schizophrenic crayon drawing, it demonstrates that the character has developed from the typical bad-guy-of-the-week to a serious threat, without having to take too much time actually focusing on the character. The character jarringly pops out against the otherwise bright and three-dimensional animations in the rest of the film. I am excited to see the 2D version in action in the third film.

i’m so incredibly unwell about this movie this is actually insane.

i lowkey need to see stripper!reader and spencer again

for you gorgeous ♡ fem

cw adult themes

Hotch and Spencer draw attention at the strip club for the same reason but in varied fonts. They're both reminiscent of your regulars, Hotch the picture of a businessman with a wife to forget and steam to blow, and Spencer the silent sweetheart, pretty but too shy to talk to normal girls. 

He doesn't need a normal girl when he has you. 

You're glad for your cover up clothes as you lean against the dressing room door. One of the bouncers peers at you from the corner of his eye. 

"Trouble?" he asks. 

"Not sure. Probably not." You wave until Agent Hotchner notices you. To your delight, he raises his hand politely. 

You step around the bouncer and bypass the stage to the lighter area of the club where they stand in wait. "Hello. I could've met you outside." 

"Would you?" Agent Hotchner asks. 

You don't need him to explain. It's not the most professional thing, loitering in a club like this. You follow them out of the club and onto the street, cold even in your sweatpants as the wind rails. Spencer lets you squeeze his fingers in greeting, but that's all. 

"It's nice to see you again, Agent Hotchner," you say honestly, giving him a smile. 

He doesn't return the pleasantry, but Spencer swears he's softer than he looks so you choose to run with it as Agent Hotchner says, "We need information on one of your patrons." 

"Tennis Lawley," Spencer adds. 

"Tennis," you repeat. "I thought my pseudonym was bad."

Spencer gives you a quick look. I'd laugh if I weren't at work, it says. "We think he's involved in a string of killings in Washington DC. What do you know about him?" 

It's not an exaggeration to say you've played therapist for Tennis and a ton of guys just like him. Being a stripper, an exotic dancer, whatever anyone wants to call it (though Spencer usually just calls it your work) has pros and cons. You've felt it to be heavier on the con side, but this is a big plus, being able to assist someone you care about with something important. It makes you feel useful for once, like you're more than the froth of the city. "Ask me anything," you say, hiding your cheek from the cold with a deft hand. 

Spencer and Agent Hotchner ask you all sorts of questions, personal to their suspect and less so, and for the most part you're able to answer them. You can tell from the look on Hotchner's face that he's both surprised and extremely satisfied by your knowing, and he emphasises his thankfulness with a touch to your upper arm before he says goodbye. "Your help is invaluable, Y/N, thank you." 

Spencer, your sweetheart, stays for a more thorough farewell. 

"Have you eaten yet today?" he asks, the hand you'd squeezed earlier leaping for yours. "You look tired." 

"It's getting close to midnight, Spence. I'm alright. You and Agent Hotchner should head home and rest yourselves…" You bring your hand to his cheek but think better of yourself, pushing your arm over his shoulder instead for a hug. His own arms contract around you immediately. "I miss you lately, where have you been?" 

"Everywhere. I miss you too," he says. Despite the months of knowing one another, and the many states he's seen you in, you know without looking that Spencer is blushing profusely. 

You kiss his cheek as your heels return to safe ground. "Come and see me again soon, okay? And bring your rich friends. The older one, Rossi, is he really a millionaire? A divorced one?" 

"Yes, he is," Spencer says with a laugh, his voice climbing higher, "but I don't think he's looking for another wife right now, sorry." 

"Maybe Agent Hotchner–" 

"Stop calling him that." 

You look Spencer straight in the eye, nearly caught off guard by how sweet and soft they meld at your touch where your hands linger in his. 

You often think that you and Spencer aren't meant to be. Your life, whether willing or unwilling, by choice or design, is entirely focused around your body, and Spencer's world revolves around his mind. You know that what you do for work isn't anything to be ashamed of, but you have the same doubts as anyone else. You know what people think of you. You wouldn't blame Spencer for thinking the same things. And you wouldn't expect him to want to be with you in any aspect that wasn't physical. 

But when he holds your hands in his like this, as though they're made of something delicate, something he wants to map every detail or by fingertip alone, you wish things were different. 

You clear your throat. "I really do miss you when you're away," you confess. 

"I'm sorry." 

"Don't be." Your hands miss his the millisecond you pull them away. "I guess I shouldn't keep you. Your boss will be wondering where you are." 

"Are you okay?" 

You can't even pretend it's a strange question; you're acting strange. "I'm fine, Dr. Reid. My nice new boss knows I know the feds, and all the girls are jealous of me when you guys come to visit. They think I'm on your payroll." 

Spencer quirks a puzzled frown, brows pulled together tightly. "You're harder to read than most people. Have I ever told you that?" 

"I guess it's 'cos I spend so much time pretending I'm a different person," you say, smiling to prompt him into smiling back. 

"Maybe." He pulls his bag from where it rests against his hip and opens it, rummaging through the contents with a confused murmur until he pulls out the shape he'd been looking for. "Here. Don't go to bed hungry, okay?" 

Spencer puts a protein bar in your hand. 

He steals a quick hug and leaves not long after that, crossing the dark parking lot to the mass of the dark SUV he arrives in. With one hand, you clutch the protein bar until it takes a new shape, and with the other you blow two sweet kisses, a cheesy, gaudy gesture that never fails to make your favourite special Agent blush.
