#Immersiveness be damned

[mossymandibles]

I get where you’re coming from but if you’re looking for Consistent Anatomical Accuracy and Believability I’m afraid you’re knocking on the wrong toilet seat there bud. He’s very much stylized and his legs work well on land because I want them to. He deserves a good gallop.

#Immersiveness be damned #what I draw is the law #he’s my special chimera boy #I’m always very impressed by the level of detail spec evo blogs put into their creatures #And I am in no way one of them #not art #plus he has EXCELLENT butt muscles for lugging that tail around on land

i'd watch this movie 😂

I envy my fellow Malevolent fans who can remember all the names/key story beats/mystery elements throughout the series and connect dots conspiracy board-style. Couldn't be me. I am just along for the ride. I don't listen to this series for the detailed narrative I listen to it to hear two fucked-up idiots bicker and kill monsters and experience The Horrors. And for the sound design.

#txt #ramblings #malevolent #this is a joke i do also rly enjoy how detailed and immersive the story is its phenomenal #i just have adhd and i cant remember SHIT lmao #someone on here made a trivia quiz for season 1 and i failed that shit so hard #s1 was 84 years ago in my mind wdym. how could I possibly remember a god damn thing from that

[esoomris]

fun thing about dredge is like. the familiarity of the unknown. like sure the various Horrors are scary when you first encounter them, but soon enough you learn where they are and how to avoid them and like, sure they’re dangerous and sure you don’t fully comprehend them but like. give them a wide berth you’ll probably be fine. which is exactly the mindset that any person who was hired to go fishing for a living in the eldritch nightmare town would end up in. yeah the anglerfish have come up to the surface and their lures are clearly designed for me but like. i’ve got bills.

#dredge #i went from being scared of the big cliffs monster to exclusively referring to it as ''this fucker'' in like. 2 in-game weeks #forreal tho this game has some real incredible gut-drop moments #like the aforementioned anglerfish and also the bit where the science lady tells you there's a creature in the middle of the coral reef #and you look down and see its fuckin tendrils and are like. oh. oh fuck you're way bigger than the other guy #but like you get used to it all in a way that kinda adds to the immersion #i can picture my fisherman on his little boat muttering to himself all the same thing i mutter to myself during gameplay #''fucking snitch fish calling their damn mom on me. get boiled idiots'' - he would fucking say that #Moose Talks

You ever start creating scenarios/daydreams in your head too hard that you begin to act out the characters with your movements and facial expressions?

and then realize what you’re doing so you try to stop but fail and continue doing it anyway?

#mentalhealth #mental illness #actually adhd #adhd #adhd things #maybe autistic #??? #so many ppl think i have autism #AND THEY GIVE NO REASONS WHY #immersive daydreaming #dude wtf is maladaptive daydreaming #maladaptive daydreaming #ah i searched it up #and yup that’s what this is #damn

feeling much better now having gotten some sleep (the dont trust how you feel about yourself past 9pm is good advice no joke)

of course all my criticism of totk still applies but im feeling less depressed about it, tho i will say its honestly kinda baffling how many times the game actually got me interested and excited about stuff and then just kinda drops it in a dead end, of course they were those kind of things in botw as well but it seems much less .. balanced in totk

(not even just the big things like making me want to actively do something to help zelda turn back when it just gets solved on its own in the end, but also some lil things like the fact that so many NPCs tell you about that newly discovered animal species and when you find the dongos they are just gem vending maschines)

in the end i can say, no, i dont like totk, tho i still love the graphics and the way the world is made ( botw showed me jsut how immersive and alive a world can feel i love it to death), i liked the gameplay and that it kept the freedom botw had established, the bossfights are mostly fun (tho i wish you could refight more of them), i LOVE the yiga and im glad they got more of a spotlight, the music is FANTASTIC i keep catching myself humming along, alot of the sidequests are much bigger and feel like you are actually doing something, i like how the sages are a bit more integrated into the story, the majority of the new designs are great, both the japanese and german voice acting is great, and the end fight has some of the best build up i have ever experienced, my heart starts to race when that music build up starts even tho i have beaten it 3 times already-

however, the story is both simple and incredible flat with lots of stuff that doesnt make sense especially when it was said to be a sequel, the zonau should have stayed a mystery imo, they failed to make me care about them even a little bit and often felt forcefully crammed into the world and its history, i think you could have told an incredible story taking place in the present and leave the past be the past, you easily could have connected botw and totk in a much better way than they did, i dont like how it changes aspects about botw all the while nigh ignoring it ever happened, it still feels like it was trying to be a replacement and not a sequel and all the referencing and callbacks to the old titles may have been done in good faith but that and including time travel yet again ultimately lead to people ripping each other to shreds over trying to prove its placed in the old timeline despite it making no sense at all and confusing people even more; often when the game made me care or be excited about something it was dropped in a dead end, there was a ton of missed opportunities and lost potential to tell a much more nuanced and interesting story/lore, and thinking about it only makes me sad for the things that could have been

overall i think my disappointment is outweighing my fun and the only way i can keep playing it while having fun is ignoring everything that isnt, which works quite well most of the time since im pretty much done with all story stuff but i keep slipping into my little rants nonetheless; i will say its making me a little worried about the future of the franchise, but i know im in the minority and maybe i will just have to accept that the new stuff wont be for me anymore and i should not hope for anything that interests me xD

except for some meme material or specific characters i love i dont think i will make much use of anything totk tried to establish, and i hope thats fine with the lot of you (<3) hopefully that also means my ranting days are over xD

anyway, back to making niche art i go! (sorry for making you endure these long ass rambling posts :,) )

#ganondoodles talks #would you believe me if i said i found more stuff that i find a lil weird #like the way zelda gives you her time power thing and the way the mastersword got sent back in time #like i dont need to have it all written out to me like im a baby but soem things are just kinda weird but acceptable #and some things actively take you out of the game- threatening your immersion #-stares at the shrine of life- #i will miss digging through theory videos on youtube tho #bc considering how big of a game totk is and how wide its influence goes .. its gonna affect everything #anyway i want to reiterate that damn the music is good #and it makes it all just hurt more #the music got me more emotional than anything else in the game besides koga #and it kinda sucks thinking about the impact it could have had if both the music AND story were this great

encouraging my followers that archie sonic is good, actually if you have a big enough brain to enjoy it. (ghost voice) ooooo… you willl read archieeeee….. you wiiilll enjoy iiiiitttt… ooooooooo……..

#i remember i was really upset and being scared to read it bc of certain things but man it’s really not that bad #sonictubers tainted it and spat on it when it was trying it’s best to be something #yes its weird but it’s fun and that’s what i like about it #trust me if you get that little criticism worm in your brain while reading it’s so entertaining #read it with the intention of having a goofy old time and then accidentally get immersed to the story #signed— ex archie hater <3 #speaking of i say this all the time but I NEED TO FUCKING FINISH THE COMIC GOD FUCKING DAMN I AWAYS FORGET WHEN I HAVE TIME #saltcat text #ramble #*if you remove the worm in the brain sorry

just in case you thought I got over TLT, I felt like rereading the end of book 1 and I'm sobbing crying screaming over the beauty of fiction

#tlt liveblog #love the way i start outright crying right before gideon says ''don't cry''. immersive reading experience #something about the way the fight is described so far away so unimportant even though the previous chapters were 1000% dedicated to it #like we don't have the time to care about immortal bone monsters rn. we're here to cry over gideon nav #''i don't give a damn about the locked tomb i only care about you''. good lord. good god.

Every time I replay the Haruspex Route in Patho Classic I am just. While Aglaya/Artemy seems unrequited their opposing free will philosophies make them v compelling to me. I'm obsessed with what they have going on. Also I feel like someone should've gone down on Aglaya. jut bc she deserves a little treat for all the nonsense I think.

#kills my immersion every time. I'm like damn girl you've been through it :( hope that man eats you out <3 #tchotchkes #aglaya lilich #artemy burakh

I usually find epistolary works really frustrating to read for a variety of reasons, but I have finally signed up for Dracula Daily in hopes that the pseudo-roleplay element makes the format less irritating to me.

#ignore Morg #literature #Dracula #it's just... I guess I prefer something more immediately immersive in the scenes themselves #rather than an attempt at putting me into the world? #The format has never really succeeded with that for me so I'm always like ''this would be more enjoyable if it were written differently.'' #Here's hoping this style works better in that regard. #The problem is probably the fact that I've always been an unrepentant binge-reader tbh #Full throttle zero patience because I'm doing it to get the damn world to go away.

You ever read a line you wrote and you’re like fuck, did I do that? I said that? Damn okay, alright, maybe I’m pretty good at this

#reading some of the lyrics I’ve jotted down for a future steddie fic #and I’m like #fuck dude #wait #I did that?? #that was me??? #fuck that’s pretty good actually damn #fanfic writing #steddie #fanfiction #writing #imposter syndrome #I do the same thing with drawing realism #I’m like surely this isn’t going to go well #and then I step back and I’m like wait fuck when did that happen #hey that’s pretty good #as if I didn’t literally go to art school for four years #with an immersion in creative writing #smh #helpimstuckwriting #helpimstuckrambling

My ADHD is working so hard today to pull me into 7 different directions that not even my autism is enough to counteract it

#I want to consume these three books and immerse myself in this video essay of Much ado about nothing #and also rewatch a production of Hamlet #but I need to listen to the soundtrack of Good Omens and also understand the significance of Magritte's artwork #and how can I do that and read this comic book and this movie that Michael Sheen recommended #while also getting high on gender from all these photos of him in a wool three piece suit #that I can't emulate because it is TOO DAMNED HOT in Spain #also they're drilling the street outside my window and there's so much noise I had to lock everything up #and wear noise cancelling headphones #maybe I should just cancel the rest of the afternoon at go to sleep at 16:15 #adhd

reading the great gatsby for the first time (well. listening to an audiobook at work but tomato potato) and punching the air that i didn't read it in high school

#speak friend and enter #the classes i took just never assigned it but damn! this shit is engrossing! color me intrigued! #it also makes a huge difference to have somebody good read it to you. this particular version im listening to is by leslie odom jr #and it's a lot easier to get immersed in a narrative when you're not trying to force yourself to read it #and/or listen to one of your equally-uninvolved classmates read it in the flattest affect known to the human ear

haven’t had such a nice day in so long

#visited my childhood friend of 20 years in the city she had moved to #she picked me up from the train #then treated me to a delicious lunch and cake #we watched the start of the new gntm season #then she made my nails and omg I’m in LOVE #I’ve never seen her be this focused on something before agdhgj she did such a good job #we also had wine while doing that and listened to fun music #after we went to a cute immersive light show exhibition thingy #and then she borrowed me some of her clothes bc she had convinced me to go out #and my god was she cute and supportive and sweet about it #and I really really needed all that #she’s that friend that always gets hit on when we’re out if you remember That story of me being miserable #WELL the queue in front of the club was too damn long so we just went home again so that was great for me ahdjgj #all in all such a lovely day I adore her lots she made me feel so loved today
