#adventurers are just Built Different.

Quick! Your OCs are being dragged to the dancefloor by a friend - how do they react? Does the amount of people around influence that reaction? Or the kind of music played maybe?

GHFNFJDJFHB!? What a fun question omfg

Chuu has a vice grip on the sofa she’s sitting on if there’s more than 5 people at a party lmao. She’s not gettin up. N o p e. (Can sometimes be lured out onto the dance floor with a Waltzing number, but will rarely stay for longer than 2 songs before she’s found a way to slither out of being an active party participant. She’d rather chill and eat snacks and watch OTHER people look silly on the dance floor.)

Tuesday is ecstatic to be invited to the dance floor- but he only really knows how to do the stuffy Ishgardian Ball Dance when he first gets invited out to a party lmfao. The amount of people present doesn’t really impact his willingness to come out to the dance floor, but once he learns more ways to dance or even how to just, ‘feel it’ and make it up as he goes he gets much more excited about dancing to upbeat or quicker songs. He is Very good at not stepping on Toes :) (almost as if somebody didn’t want to deal with smushed toes…. 🤔)

Tangy is so zazzed to dance. She is…. Not the best at ballroom dancing or like, whatever you wanna call a couples dance, so. Watch your toes! It doesn’t matter how many people are there but being the center of attention can be kinda daunting :’> she’d rather dance to more upbeat music than slow dances so she’ll probs bow out for drinks and a snack during those to take a breather sjfjdkfs … pls also imagine her doing classic ‘dad’ dance moves or something from the Peanuts x3 [cut cos it’s Long 🫢]

….. 🤔 Ishi will gladly dance with a friend (or friends!) at smaller gatherings- and even invite others out to the floor x3 but at bigger more official events? She’s probably grateful for the excuse to step away from whatever Politically Charged Chat she’s been roped into regarding allied tribes or intercity relations. (She isn’t trained in dance, but will readily learn and follow somebody else’s lead •v•)

Mochiie is someone who’s reluctant to take an invite to the dance floor no matter how many people are present if there’s already people dancing and there’s not much space. He’s uh… conscious of his tail. (Poor guy sent a lalafellin couple sprawling once when he got tangled up in his feet, so he tries to be Overly Cautious now)

😂 Colette will indulge a friend in a dance, and relies more on being able to lift/twirl/dip her dance partner for flair - it’s an All-Eyes-On-Them situation. If Eorzean weapons didn’t have a habit of cracking under the pressure she’d probably be a tank. She prefers music with dramatic flair, to match her flashy dancing style. She laughs a lot more when it’s a Smaller group, there’s less performance pressures 🤧 (I should REALLY pose her dancing with Setsuna at some point… I’ll have to bug my partner for some files x3)

🤔🤔🤔 Levraut was the hardest for me to figure out. He’s classically trained in Ishgardian Dance? But he hates it. He thinks the whole thing looks silly, and he’s not so into huge parties (since they’re usually hosted by The Rich And Influential And Expect A Certain Class Of People yk) … he’d be a hilarious ‘sexy lamp’ for someone to dance with though… I think it would take him some time to feel comfortable dancing in the center of everything but he wouldn’t mind kinda grooving in place around the edges.

Until he’s 5 cups in. And then you have to haul him off the dance floor before he makes more of a fool of himself than he currently is, and tries to start a fight with the Violinist, because it quote ‘sounds like you’re killing the cat what made the strings all over again’ (regardless of if that’s true or not; a drunken Lev craves Rowdy Brawling and will Incite It)

… 🤨 I think that’s everyone if only because I don’t have a solid idea what the Trio would be like in a Party situation

#sorry this took so long to answer I got home took a fat nap and then joined the fc to play the fun game LOL #we were Gwiber hunting OwO #ALSO TY FOR THE QUESTIONNNN #Ishi and Kizuna dancing is ridiculous and needs a wide berth. lmfao. Kizuna ALSO has big tail syndrome #I’m constantly wrestling what music in Eorzea is like btw like there’s electric guitar???? in game?? #there’s definitely the means to make electronic music ? I know venues have DJ’s but #I’m losing my mind thinking about Venues with that heavy modern club scene being ‘canon’ #tho I guess the Loporrits…. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 #adventurers are just Built Different. #lev would show up to big fancy parties in order to investigate where the WoL(s) were last spotted or like the state of affairs or chasing #a lead but he’s not one to go for purely pleasure =v= would rather drink and sing badly in a tavern with 5-10 other people #and then get thrown out and threatened with being banned for dancing on tabletops and kissing someone else’s Date #I came really close to trying to figure out Gifs again so I could gif Tangy doing a goofy dance but I got SO sleepy so it might just be #a later gorilla to fight @v@

Friendly reminder that in the episode What Was Missing, the door of the Door Lords stated SPECIFICALLY that it would only open for a song played by a genuine band.

Yet Marceline and her angsty, gay, love ballad to her ex was clearly only one line away from opening that door ALL ON HER OWN.

All while said ex was clearly falling for her all over again

#adventure time #marceline #marceline abadeer #bonnibel bubblegum #princess bubblegum #bubbline #when it comes to music marceline is clearly built different #the end of obsidian made this episode SO much more angsty/gay/fun #where’s the AU where Marcy FINISHES ‘I’m Just Your Problem’? XD

Meanwhile Martha Jones;

Why Martha Jones was perfect for him

#aubrey edwards #penelope ford #nick wayne #aew #aewedit #all elite wrestling #aew rampage #mine: gifs #my gifs: aubrey edwards #my gifs: penelope ford #this would have worked on me penelope i am not built different #also the watermark went on an adventure in the third gif but i just noticed and didn't save a working copy so #it'll just be a little different #at least it didn't go over someones face or something lmao

[possum-socks]

okay, genuinely, how the fuck did shadow the hedgehog survive a fall to earth from outer space ???

and why is nobody more shocked when they see him in heroes? if i saw a guy alive and well after he presumably splatted on the ground at terminal velocity i would have a lot more questions than they did

give me your theories because i am at a loss

#I never see anyone talk about this and it boggles me #this to me is the biggest support to the theory of current shadow being an android but I wanna hear other theories #and eggman basically confirms he’s not an android so #i know he’s built different but not THAT different #side note cuz I guess it isn’t clear I KNOW he’s immortal but he just doesn’t age you still don’t survive a fall like that #shadow the hedgehog #sonic adventure 2 #sonic heroes #sonic the hedgehog #sonic tag #I know eggman also tells shadow he ‘rescued him with one of his robots’ but #what does that even entail and how did eggman even know my guy was falling in time to catch him #what are your thoughts on that

"Good children's television lets the child characters learn lessons for themselves. Adults can provide inspiration or help, but the children should take initiative for their own discoveries and come to conclusions based on their experiences.

Bad children's television has the adults tell the children all the lessons and information they should learn. The children are only there as stand-ins for an audience that the writer wants to preach this information to and passively absorb the lessons rather than taking an active role in their own story."

I find it quite ironic when a genre becomes exactly what they were trying to act as an alternative for.

Because the point of children's entertainment is that it educates in a more entertaining and engaging way than school, you know by letting the kids enjoy fun adventures. Kids don't like being lectured or talked down to, either in school or in their television. It's why they love kid heroes.

You can so very much tell when a children's show is written by someone who remembers what it's like to be a child and respects children as human beings, and when it's written by someone who thinks it's their duty to Educate The Youth so they become Knowledgeable Adults. A children's show has to understand that the audience is already smart before they can begin to teach them anything.

#answered asks #adventures in writing #i am still so angry over that painful curious george episode #where george suddenly doesn't know what a shadow is #(even though there's an ENTIRE EPISODE about groundhog day) #and four-year-old allie comes out and explains it's his shadow #and then says #i kid you not #'my teacher says that a shadow comes when our bodies block the light' #(perhaps not an exact quote but 'my teacher says' was definitely used and it still pains my every nerve) #and then george wonders something about shadows #and where the earlier seasons were BUILT around george having questions #and then trying out different ways to find answers and solutions #in THIS episode allie says they should just ask the man with the yellow hat #and the man with the yellow hat TELLS them about shadows #in a similar vein there's another late episode where george wonders about migrating birds #(somehow everyone figures out he has these detailed questions even though all he does is grunt and point) #and the man with the yellow hat ponders it while they're shopping #and then I KID YOU NOT professor wiseman shows up and is like 'i can tell you the answer' #it pains me so much i am so enraged for the sake of the children who deserve better #unfortunately my niece has no taste and has not noticed she is being fed inferior mental fare #she just likes watching the japanese monkeys slide down the snow dragon #(which is one of the better parts of one of the later episodes) #(that at least feels of a piece with some of the ghostwritten picture books) #(even though that ENTIRE EPISODE is otherwise 'people tell george things while vapid light pop music plays)

While working on comms, I'm finally finishing my Japanese-dub re-watch of CAoS, and during s4 ep6, I noted that:

The Biblical Lazarus, haunted by what he saw in Hell for the four whole days he was dead, lost his entire fucking mind on resurrection.

Mary Wardwell, dead and damned for almost six months and resurrected with her old life completely bamboozled… did not.

#chilling adventures of sabrina #Mary Wardwell #is a fucking badass #if anyone needs reminding #This woman had every reason to have cracked and kept on cracking #but it took her being purposefully PUSHED #and magically traumatised #Some people are just built different yk

Jacob’s first days helping out around the house go well. He’s overenthusiastic to do it all, so Caroline and Tommy have had some more free time. Mostly he helps fix up broken appliances and tends to the garden with his mom. 

Today he goes to town and runs into Altha. She’s had her birthday recently, too, a few days after his. 

“We should go out by the river. Behind my house.” Jacob suggests. “I’m done with everything for the day.”

“Let’s go before my mother sees.” Altha grins and hurries away across the bridge. “Just because we’ve gotten older, she thinks we need supervising.” 

“I just know my father will be the same.” Jacob groaned, following close behind. For him, it was all the more fun to have to be sneaky about spending time with his friend. 

They spent the day fishing, although none of them were able to catch anything. And for once Jacob was home early enough to catch his siblings coming back from school.

I think about that time aubree got a casual hookup a lot I think largely because it was a time something nice happened to her with no downsides

#I am imagining her being treated softly. I am imagining her being touched gently. I am imagining her falling asleep in soft arms. #aubree talks about cooking with a gnome who named herself after an herb and drinks wine and has sex and wakes up and makes coffee for two #and doesn't think or talk about The Horrors even once. for twelve blessed hours. what a concept #I've had three glasses of wine and I am now crying about my blorbo ahskfdlsh she just has NO SUPPORT in the PARTY!! #justin has built a world full of kindness and goodness where being kind makes a real difference #where you can form real and rewarding connections with people in a living and responsive world and it's so wonderful #but we travel because we're adventuring!! so aubree only has the party actually present!! #and the party consists of a bard who works overtime to be rude and mean and make a BAD impression everywhere we go for no reason #and an overwrought teenager whose trauma is 1) the only trauma that matters and 2) overpowers ANY of those real and meaningful connections #her player constantly like 'ooOHhhHh justin your GRIM WORLD you are PUTTING LISBET THROUGH IT hohohooo' #ACTUALLY the entire POINT of this grim world is to highlight the power of love and hope in the face of darkness and despair!! #but you keep CLOSING YOUR EYES TO THAT!! and CHOOSING TO PLAY GRIMDARK NO MATTER WHAT!! #so I'm just sitting here like :) this is a world full of kindness and hope and aubree doesn't get any #cause she's the only one IN the party BRINGING any!! #and we don't stay long enough with any one NPC for them to be there for her #LAYS on the FLOOR. #it's a weird contrast with mel who is ALSO profoundly lonely because mel doesn't understand that #and if she DID she HAS friends she could lean on-- zhartook at the very least and probably also claire #aubree grew up in a big family in a tight community-- she KNOWS she needs connection and right now doesn't feel like she HAS anyone #sucksss #about me #aubree

the ableism of that one episode of gravity falls makes me :|

#paper jam dipper clone. in the printer episode. he dies and its like ‘its better this way for paper jam dipper’ #and :| alex hirsch please. why. #ik it was 2012 and that’s why. but still. like #idk giving very bad vibes #i love the show ik most shows have big ableism issues #shoutout to that one episode of adventure time for actually handling disability normally #‘some people are built different #we don’t have to figure it out we just have to respect it’ #yeah.good message #’death is better for disabilities deemed ‘severe’ enough’ bad message. bad bad bad message. #EDIT i found out he said he wouldn’t have done it today. and yk im ok with that #ppl change i was not ever nor will i ever be perfect. and i respect him for being like ‘yeah my bad’ #alex hirsch W

whoa I'd seen ao3 authors talk about the seretonin hit from comments and kudos but hooooly shit that hits like something else. like I've gotten nice comments on art before but wowwwwww those have nothing on a comment talking about specific reactions to sentences in a chapter I am so high on life right now I already tried to comment on fics but I am going to go forth and comment EVEN HARDER now

#the kudos also hit very powerfully. maybe because it's a different word? #like I've built up a resistance to likes but I'm only just being exposed to kudos #you know... like drugs #never don't comment again #fic adventures

[ars0nism]

personally i think we should stop killing characters who are really nice i dont think they deserve it

this post was made by just played that mission in ffxiv heavensward gang

#ars0nism's ffxiv adventures #FUCK #this is a joke btw narratively. this stuff can work #but yk. the sunset. the clutching a dying person's hand in yours. the 'a smile would fit a hero more' #THE ATTEMPT AT A SMILE THAT LOOKED HEARTBROKEN #the 'i knew you two were... close.' afterwards #im in so much pain yall have no idea destiny 2 forsaken was NOTHING compared to this #i get invested in fictional characters really easily and just. he was my friend?? like it genuinely felt like losing a friend???? #WORST PART IS I KNEW IT WAS COMIGN BEFORE ID EVEN MET HIM IN GAME AND I STILL ?? #genuinely in pain #i was like 'dont get attached to him hell die' but i can only resist the 'my dear friend!!!' so often #he was so fucking nice dude #unproblematic king #also hits harder bc he died protecting YOU. like this isnt something that happened in a different room you were THERE #your character has to WATCH #my angst writer hands are itching for a google doc rn #heavensward being after losing everything you built in ARR also makes it hurt more #everything sucked but it was okay because he was there ti brighten the mood every time #after the hell in uldah... coming to camp dragonhead.. him immediately offering to help no questions asked #LITERALLY DURING THOSE CUTSCENES I SAID 'haurchefant would never believe this shit' #crying shaking throwing up etc etc #its been like. 3 hours ?? 2?? im still on the verge of tears

for all that I whined that flocking is a very slow process, it does get slapped on all in one go and is then Done in as long as it takes for the glue to dry.  and yeah, I did end up processing way more hair than I’ll actually need for this, but it’s still taking forever to glue a layer and wait for it to dry and glue a layer and so on and so on...

#today's art adventure #the current look is half excessively ginger elf and half medieval monk #(not a Good look) #also since the yarn fiber has a tendency to be very thick I'm not at all sure that it'll braid up nicely as I want it to do #last time I wanted to do thin braids on a doll I had to cut a lot of the extra hair and really glue everything in place #and I want to be able to take his hair up and down for different looks just for my own fun #in that one I only ended up gluing the hair down because it was for an assignment and I truly did not care #but I want to put a lot more effort into these guys because I genuinely like them and want them to be well made #you can really tell the difference when I'm putting heart into it - that one cracked four times in travel #whereas the only damage I've ever gotten on other guys has been losing an already wobbly head #was just talking about it earlier today that that's why I can't make these guys for sale #too much emotional attachment gets built right in from the moment I get out the clay. which is. ah. unfortunate given the number of them.
