#I just finished the game recently so I'm like

//BTW, on the topic of Ghost Trick, I love how stupidly protective and supportive Cabanela is with Lynne, during the game and after it. Their dynamic is very cute, he is the most??? Supportive mentor I have ever seen. I mean, he even fudged the numbers on her police academy test, I can't even with him.

Best not-dad/uncle ever.

#ooc #ok I'll shut up about ghost trick for now lol #I just finished the game recently so I'm like #hnnnnn #love it so much I cannot recommend it more #it's actually very affordable too #like 40-ish dollars on the eshop for a full and gorgeous and stylish game #with lots of actual great twists that will make you cry

................ he 

#i feel like I posted this already but I also can't find it in any recent posts so... #......he #cats #EVEN if I did post it.. why not poast himb again? it's he #I'm like halfway through actually editing aforementioned costumes and stuff and i WANT to work on sculptures again and I have video #s and that worldbuilding slideshow and all of these things so hopefully like.. more usual stuff soon maybe.. to be posted #for now though yeah.. just cats #The end of the year is also when I panic about the passage of time and how little I've gotten done and how I will never actually be a #sucessful game maker slash author slash cat cafe owner slash set designer slash costume designer slash psychologist #who lives in like Scotland or somehting and also owns my own candle company or something ghbjhb #and will probably just be a mentally ill hermit recluse all my life who dies early of mysterious health issues with 5000 projects left #undone and blah blah the crushing weight of chronic illness and capitalism and so on and so forth #So then I scramble to get projects done to try and meet some goals but usually that means I scatter between projects #so it takes longer to finish all of them. Like instead of dedicating 8 hours to one thing and finishing it one sitting. I'll do 2 hours on #this then 2 hours on that then 2 hours on another things. so they all get done slower even though I'm still technically making progress on #them all. This is also a very poo poo pee pee stink brain way to work and is not like. the most efficent thing but it's just how my brain #organizes tasks sometimes lol #*** #(<ignore this its part of an OCD compulsion lol. anytime you see me type three asterisks I'm not bleeping out a curse word #it's just a Special Secret Foolish Thing I Have To Do At Specific Uncontrolable Times When Brain Says So gbjhhj) #ANYWAY... eeeee #Still haven't resolved my mystery chest injury though so being at te computer for too long is also kind of achey-inducing #Better get over it though because I have like 30+ hours of slideshow vidoe to edit hahaha hee hee hoo!!!!!

Wanted to draw some of the Links with animal ears and tails and it quickly became almost all of them

#the legend of zelda #tloz #loz #oh god that's too many games I'm just leaving it at that #this should be all the canon ones #I was gonna draw like hw and coh and cartoon and like the mishouzaki yuu one #but I haven't played a single adult timeline game like at all so those Links gave me so much trouble I just had to give up on that #I did semi recently homebrew my 3DS so I can go ahead and play the DS ones whenever #but I wanna play WW first but that game is more expensive than new ones and I can't justify it at the moment #I have other games more readily available to me I still need to finish #my art

trying to get the "one shot" achievement on hyper light drifter is making me wanna give soulsbournes a shot

#so far i've made it through west north and east. so. pretty good #hyper light drifter #but ngl i've always been really enamoured with the lore and monster designs of those games. i just #i dunno I guess i feel like i would get lost. everything so dark #also in general i don't play a lot of 3d #games like that. i'm a top-down girlie forever i love pixels too much #even botw which i love is at least bright #anyway if anyone reads this far in the tags and has a dark souls/bloodbourne/elden ring type game they wanna recommend. (for pc). #i might try it i dunno #i've been wanting to play a new game lately but i don't have any that are grabbing me #(just finished omori And in stars and time recently and while i love rpgs like that i am tired of the genre for now) #i want gameplay. OH i did also beat jusant which was phenomenal but too short i would love a challenge or endless climb mode post-game

#pillars of eternity spoilers #i reached the endgame of poe a few days ago #and i *think* I've reached the big twist everyone talks about and like #the twist itself is cool bc it fits this world #but as an irl religious person I am so exhausted by the rhetoric surrounding it being present in nearly every game I play recently #why even create your world with [REDACTED] if they're not even gonna be [REDACTED] anyway #it was the same with DAI and I didn't like it then either #and like I'm kinda disappointed with myself I've been really enjoying myself and made it all the way to the endgame #but now I can't bring myself to finish it #not bc it's bad but bc it makes me uncomfy #and that makes me feel like a weenie #but yeah it's not even necessarily poe's fault #bc on it's own I feel like it's fine but the frequency of it with other games is just like. played out. for me. #anyway keeping this vent in a tag post bc I'm probably just being Dramatic #marie speaks

Hold on, have I really only done two pieces of writing for Reborn

#one was the really fun piece about corybantia (adriana's aegislash) #and the other one was the exchange that luna and adriana have in the void #but are those?? really?? the only ones?? #actually I suppose I could also count that tiny scene in labradorra about what happens to PULSE-09 in my version of events #but have I really only done one piece of actual full-on selfship writing and the rest has just been renders??? #this is a revelation to me.. #a call from the void #heart of the void #i'm saying this because I opened my lunadri folder only to find one file in there and that's it #HOLD ON NO THERE IS ANOTHER ONE the one in the folder is return on crow's wings ^-^ #and it's the one that takes place in the void that.. isn't for some reason. but I remembered that one off the top of my head #I guess I took it out because I wrote it when episode 18 was the most recent? so some things changed when the game was finished #but then I.. haven't directly seen how things change firsthand because. I cannot play like any of the glass workstation/void section safely #so i don't know

life is too short I wanna replay SO many video games

#can you believe ntwewy is two years old?? i wanna replay it #hell we're coming up on the game's announcement trailer's third anniversary. i remember that day vividly #meanwhile i recently replayed pokemon oras and enjoyed it. been a long time since i enjoyed a pokemon game #i wanna go back and finish my now about five year old file on heartgold. idk why i stopped on the eighth gym #so maybe I'll do that next #i also wanna play xenoblade 3 before much longer but first i wanna replay the first game #sometimes i work on the last achievement i have yet to achieve in rdr2 and that always makes me wanna replay it #i beat it once and got to 100% completion and restarted it twice since then but kept stopping when i got to the latter half lol #anyway i gotta finish totk at some point. got distracted bc genshin updated and then my friend started playing it #so we're playing together all the time lately whenever I'm not at work or drawing or reading #OH MAN and I've been listening to kh osts lately. and i keep thinking. what if i replayed literally any of those games lol #augh I'm just over here chewing on video games like a beaver at 5x speed

Once I get onto playing Arkham City I think I'm going to be absolutely insufferable

#i'm so oriented aroace for him #oughhhhhhhh #he's just wow... #him... #replaying the arkham games. currently on arkham origins (i know it should be after arkham city but like last time i skipped origins) #(so it feels right i should play it slightly earlier on. plus it felt like i'd finished city too recently (it was pride month)) #riddler brainrot #me being an oriented aroace

Ok seriously, I promise to get to the requests I have soon, just gotta do a few things first but I promise to start drawing/writing them as soon as I get done with these.

#dragon talks #i took these requests for a reason and i can't help but feel a teensy but guilty for making people wait so long for them #especially the writing requests i took like #almost half a year ago now??? i think? #which I'm so sorry it's taking so long to do #brain was like: ooh i want to do these requests stuff #but then shortly after it gets distracted by other things and then it doesn't want to do them but also wants to do them and so on #but then i also have Flighteningverse Week coming up and i want to do all the prompts and that will get me wanting to take a break after #why do i always get these ideas and then have too many things to want to do at once?? #cause then there's all the different aus i want to work on #and my fics that i want to write the next continuation to because some of them haven't been updated in over a year now #probably two years now if im honest #i swear they're not discontinued i just have very much things i want to work on #or just play games #and there's also my dragon adopts side blog i want to work on. and the song comic that i thought i would finish before the end of the year #and the Cross/Error shipkid #and that guardian of my aus and worlds that i think i still have to pick a name for #and dino!tale #and the fnaf au animatronic stuff #and more recently the kaijuverse au #so many things that i want to do #dragon rambles #<- #new tag for when i do the rambling in the tags #if you read all this then have a cookie 🍪

Zaptor from Elestrals!

#elestrals #pixel art #Hey gang another secret tag update #I am in talks with the guy who makes this and he's commissioning me to make every elestral :') #this is my first animation commission/job that will stop me from having to worry about commissions for like... months #maybe even a full year. who knows. But the point is I will finally be a big shot #My home and love life are comfortable as can be but I have been worried about money a little recently as commissions are sporadic #But... I'm actually on track to move to full time animation. I'm so excited. #Game is still under construction. Story is done and I'm still coding. Might need a new computer soon because this one is nearly a decade old #I'm so hopeful that the universe has finally thrown me a proverbial bone at least career wise #I have a small fanbase who is really really nice to me and I met a lot of friends there and I need to remember them when this all kicks off #Misty Ripley Heck are three that have been super supportive and I will help give back to them for keeping me afloat this whole time #Ashley has also been subscribed to me for a year. It's our year anniversary soon and I'm so nervous bc I'm not certain what to get her/do #Will just be grateful to have more memories w her. Might get a little trip away somewhere if she can get someone to watch pets #just checked. Nothing standing out but I'll figure it out now that money is significantly less of a worry #I guess that's nearly every one of my worries gone. Just gotta actually grind and finish game and I'll have nearly nothing to complain about

recent lounging babey images

#he's so floppy recently and I hope it's just the heat. I think wamr weather makes everyone floppy and loungy #a beauntifulle boye... #cats #STILL working on posting some drafts. finishing new poll adventure.. other things... It's just hard with the weather and other things going #on. I've had a few more doctors appointments and other things to do recently that have to be done in a time limit #so I hvae to use my extremely limited energy working on that instead of doing the things I'd really rather do. :T #Main focuses though are keeping up better with doing and posting costumes + sculptures as main creative things. at least finishing the #main poll adventure story. Reworking the game I kind of abandoned for a few years. keeping up with game videos and a few other side things. #Especially the game though. I've been in a really worldbuildy mood recently. I just wish that was easier to manifest into something. I've #now put the worldbuilding slideshow reading video on pause for a while because it's SOOO long to do #and I think I should prioritize making games and stuff instead. but still other things. IT's just kind of like.. I have a whole world and #everything very built and planned out but now.. what do I do with it? what's the best way to share that? factual slideshows just going over #the information like a dictionary? make it into a game? write short stories? do art attached to the world? etc. etc. ?? There are so many #potential avenues I end up kind of flip flopping between them a lot because none really seem more beneficial than the others and they all #seem equally enjoyable and also equally hard so. It's like?? I guess just do what the hell ever and hope I made the right choice in terms o #cost benefit and reward for my time lol. ANYWAY.. Also why I'm in my 'trying to make friends' era still because I think having other creat #ive friends can help you find direction like.. people will meet each other and then go 'hey lol just for fun lets start a project together! #and then like 5 years later it's genuinely become something. etc. having other people to help weed out ideas and start small creative teams #together and etc. I feel is a very beneficial part of networking or whatever but also I have the social capacity of a stale bread roll and #am also inherently unrelatable to seemingly a majority of people due to my hermit wizard swag (detachment from general society and hyper #focus on fantasy worlds in my head gjhghj) so trying to meet people as a grown adult with social issues is Very easy and fun (it is not) #even very basic things like my core communication style is so incompatible with a lot of people it's like.. hhhh... People in this modern #age have GOT to stop being afraid of phone calls and/or text that is longer than 6 paragraphs. Work with me here. I WANT to talk to you. bu #I do not know what your emojis mean and it's physically impossible for me to type less than 85 sentences. please.. hhjgjgb #AAANYWAY!! I am working on things when I can given the circumstances (SUMMER).. hopefully some costume pictures and stuff soon. :'3 #I've not forgotten about my art and etc. - as usual I just am bad at social media and also functioning if it's above 65F lol

3, 14, 19 for Balthazar/Tristian for the OTP ask game :)

3. Do they wear each other’s clothes? (sweatshirt, bandana, necklace, etc.)

Not much, really. In a practical sense, it would be difficult. Balthazar’s a bit smaller and a lot more slight than Tristian, so Tristian borrowing clothes wouldn’t exactly be comfortable. And Balthazar has some terribly awkward wings by the time the two of them are together- his clothes have to be tailored to him to accommodate the wings, and it’s difficult to wear clothes that haven’t been altered. Although it doesn’t stop him from occasionally stealing Tristian’s cloak or robe just in the spirit of mischief (and slowing down the process of getting dressed).

Not clothing per se, but Balthazar enjoys using his own brooches to fasten Tristian’s cloak whenever he helps Tristian get dressed- something to serve as a subtle touch of connection even when they’re apart. Tristian always waits until they’re apart to check what he’s been given. It’s a pleasant ritual to discover it, and it’s a point of comfort to reach for over the course of the day. He always returns Balthazar’s things very carefully at the end of the day.

14. How do their personalities complement each other? How do they clash?

The ways they clash are probably more obvious. Tristian is earnest to a fault and a person with very strong moral principles that he lives by (theoretically), while Balthazar is an ambitious person who often gets what he wants through deceit and trickery. There's a lot of natural tension between them- for a long time after meeting they really didn't like each other at all. Balthazar was quick to write Tristian off as dull and uptight, while Tristian rankled at the callous disregard Balthazar had for others. Tristian is also someone who clings a lot to an ideal of celestial virtue that Balthazar has spent most of his life trying to get away from. Even though the initial hostility faded there's still always some degree of friction. It can seem that Balthazar is too careless or too cold, or that Tristian demands too much without compromise. Always some arguments in there.

As for complementing... really, some of the clashes can be ways they cover each other's weaknesses at times. Neither cold pragmatism nor strong optimism can solve every problem- there's a sort of balance there, in a way. Or at the least a way to keep Balthazar's Machiavellian tendencies in check. And also I guess I'd like to think that their positive traits can influence one another as well- Tristian being a bit more flexible and better able to see nuance in a situation, and Balthazar becoming more open and trusting. Maybe this doesn't really count as a "complementary" thing but also like... the ability to be very earnest with one another. Balthazar is someone who doesn't let his guard down easily, but over time he begins to trust Tristian to understand his experiences without condescending to him about them. While Tristian isn't as obviously closed off as Balthazar is, he still doesn't put himself out there easily and feels a lot of shame confronting things about himself. Balthazar doesn't judge Tristian for any of his choices. He has a lot of empathy for the situation that makes beginning to sort through it easier. (And Balthazar does sincerely love Tristian's flaws, even if Tristian doesn't)

19. How do they feel about PDA?

Not at all self-conscious, that’s for sure. There aren’t a lot of big, dramatic gestures, but certainly there are plenty of small, intimate ones: entwining fingers, leaning into one another, gently brushing hair away from the face, a soft kiss pressed to the hand… It’s about the reassurance of knowing the other is present. It’s also the case that Balthazar is a bit clingy (something that surprises him) and Tristian is somewhat touch starved so…

It's embarrassing to watch, really.

#hiiiiiiiiiiii answering this a uhhhhhhh month and a half late (Jesus Christ.) #whoops!! #not sure what happened with that. anyway. #I know romance isn't my strong suit so honestly I think I was just nervous. and also the executive dysfunction but #a lot of it was probably having a lot of thoughts and not really knowing how best to articulate. #it's probably a bit silly but I always feel like I'm trying to make a case for this when I'm talking about it #possibly because I was once asked “how does that work” and told my explanation made no sense ^^;; #living and learning though. #anyway I've rewritten parts of this many times and then finished it all in after midnight hours so! hope it's coherent. #it is so so long overdue. #ask game #ask me emithing #balthazar and tristian #turbulentpumpkin43 #just recently realized many people put the URL of the asker in the tags...? #trying to develop better habits. may dig up and link the prompt list post later but it's 3 in the morning right now
