#and its probably not that flat

Okay, so, I made this already using the female mc , and I wanted to see if I could get a better scale for the poachers heights, so I used the male mc for scale.

And somehow they changed in height.

I don't know how, but they did.

These aren't my hc heights, These were compared in game, and that's why I'm confused

#my post #hogwarts legacy #ashwinders #poachers #i should make a 3rd more in depth post about them #and stop going into the game for heights #because i think the Battle arena has the flattest ground #and its probably not that flat #i feel like this doesn't need to be said #but i took the hats of #if i kept them on they would be a lot closer in height

I really like Shilo as a character because I can't tell if he's really manipulative on purpose or if he's just a Guy who's dominating people on accident because it's part of his nature

#shilo bathory #prince shilo #jrwi shilo #the suckening #jrwi #just roll with it #bizly plays him in a way it coulf be either #and i love it #i think he probably thinks people just do things he wants them to do cause hes the prince #eg the first time at club crepuscule where he flat out said “i didnt know i was doing that” #but for all we know he could be lying #Like a liar would #i like to think its a healthy mix of both

i love watching ofmd over and over again because every two minutes i'll hear a line and be like ohhh that's where that thing i say every day is from

#seriously when something pops into my brain ill just assume its from ofmd #i once took an entire day to figure out that “hello? anybody home?” in the funniest german sounding accent was actually from ofmd ep 6 #yk when the dutch come onto the revenge #but sometimes its from j&w or good omens and the thing is most of the things i quote are from bertie azi or stede #who all talk very similarly #anyway. trying to figure out where “thats the spirit” in a very particular voice is from its been on my mind for two days #probably ofmd until proven otherwise #our flag means death #ofmd #NOOO NOOO I HAVE IT ITS YONDERLAND JESUS CHRIST #that took me way too long #dont know what exact scene or character tbh but i know its mat #good lord #(its from the very first episode i think. i found it in one of my edits. and its elf in debbies flat)

i am drowning in debt and i need help

im really struggling to make ends meet on top of everything else. i have a job but i dont get paid well and i can only get about 35hrs per week at most. i do get tips sometimes but the amount that i get is super unpredictable, and most of the time i dont get tips at all (im working as a bather at a dog grooming salon, the groomers make really good tips but as a bather im lucky if i get $10 a day)

ive been trying to find a new job for months now but its been really difficult for me. ive been sent home from job interviews for not having a car, and most of the applications i send out get rejected pretty quickly regardless of what the job actually is. ive even been getting rejected for jobs like customer service and kitchen and retail, which i have plenty of experience in. everything is hard for everybody right now, i know

altogether the amount that i owe is $990. it used to be much more but ive been slowly paying it off when im able to. thankfully this isnt debt that can accumulate interest, so this is the exact amount that i owe. i dont expect to recieve all of it from donations alone, and i wouldnt ask for that. i just need a little bit of a boost on top of my current wages/bills. im also trying to save as much money as possible at the same time, and its kind of impossible when i owe so much for other things. i need to knock this out before im able to save ANYTHING

id appreciate any amount at all! and if youre unable to donate i completely understand, id appreciate spreading this post around. thank you for reading if youve gotten this far, ily and have a wonderful day 💕

When you go on walks, what’s your favourite part? Mine is when I find one of the rivers or small streams nearby my house. Or when I get to meet some new dogs- or when the temperature is just warm enough to bask in whilst the trees are rustling because of a strong breeze. Maybe my favourite part is the walk itself, I like walking places. Problem is I always need to have a destination in mind.

the weather is getting nicer so its the best time to go outside and poke around for some new visitors ^_^

Now and Then Day

This sideblog began after watching Get Back nagged and nagged at me until finally I started to look closer at context relative to the Beatles discography and suddenly started experiencing these WAIT WHAT moments every day as what I thought I knew got turned inside out. The appeal was in looking at something you knew like the back of your hand from another direction and seeing/hearing something new you hadn’t seen/heard before. But I had no idea we’d get another song to add to the mix in 2023.

I knew Now and Then day would be an experience. I thought I’d have to wait the whole day before listening. But I got lucky and found a few minutes to listen to Now and Then when it was first released this morning. And inexplicably clicked to hear the remastered Love Me Do instead. I cannot explain my brain.

I then tried to start Now and Then and noped out before 15 seconds in. Too overwhelming. Not the right time. I was too rushed and needed more space to mentally prepare for it.

I caught NPR covering the Now and Then release today on my drive home. They had a Lennon biographer (I didn’t catch the name) reviewing the song. He said the song recalls John’s more delicate tunes like Beautiful Boys (sic) and mentioned John started the song in 1970.

Say what?!

Here I was late last night trying to nail down a better date for John’s demo than “late 70s”. Meanwhile, biographers are just here on national public radio pushing lies. Did he have ChatGPT write his comments?

Oh yeah, they also said it was created with AI no qualifier.🤦‍♀️

They played a few snippets of the song including one new piece not in the doc but refrained from playing it in full. It was mostly wrong Beatles facts all segment.

Trying the song a second time hours later, I got through it in one piece but was feeling abit 🥴 about it as a song itself. Having just listened to the original demo was probably a mistake, and I could hear all the seams and feeling the Frankenstein song effect.

Third attempt sounded more together, with the seams not quite as noticeable. I was prepared for the changes, the layering bits from other songs, and noted highlights of the instrumentals: the strings, George’s guitar bits, and Ringo’s flourishes. I love Paul coming through on the future tense certainty of “I will love you” (is that I Will?). Ringo’s shimmering effect choice (is it tams?) is such an entrancing closer. Giles’ score and Beatles recycled bits do mend the seams well once I stop thinking about them too much.

On fourth listen, my biggest notes are questioning why Paul’s harmony with John isn’t more distinct. He shows a lot of restraint here but maybe too much? Did Get Back get to him in other ways than the most obvious? Is he just self-conscious about his own voice? Or is it the limitation of the tech when it comes to harmony mixing?

The strings were what I was most worried about, but their entrance at the 1:15 mark really kicks it up a notch to transition into the singalong. Other standouts are 1:40 with George’s flourish and 2:29 peak with the guitar solo.

Lyrically, it’s the conditional and if I make it through it’s all because of you that haunts in layers of meaning both grim and cathartic that reverberate through time and space.

If John makes it through emotionally to 1980 and has a comeback? Congrats, bud you did it. But he’s stopped physically through no fault of his own. There’s the obvious mourning of that lost potential even 40 years later.

If this song this voice this message of John’s makes it through to 2023 and reaches the public? Well, success there, Paul’s tenacity saw it through with help from many friends. John’s voice and song lives on through Paul’s wish to conjure him by his side. On the Day of the Dead no less. I was reminded of the concept of tulpas today and was knocked back on my heels by the thought.

If John as an artist and Beatles as a band make it through so fans are still listening in 2023? This doubles as a bit of a fan love letter, and thank you for 60 years. Released on the day Beatlemania first appeared in black and white.

But then there’s also a reflector on this. Some original Beatles fans have aged with Paul and Ringo and others have not and aren’t here to share this like John and George. There’s grief and mourning from those still here about those lost, and the song acts as a catharsis. A kind of thank you to the band for being there for fans in good times and bad. The symbiosis of fame between a band and its fans across the decades.

It’s a lot.

I spent some time looking at the youtube comments on the song. Some original fans but many second and even third generation fans. And quite a few stories about a loved one who loved the band and recently passed away like this one:

And this:

But also in there are stories of catharsis and healing.

And many memories of the joy that Beatles music has brought to people’s lives. We all have these stories of how their songs weave into our own life. But it’s the joy that I keep coming back to as the secret sauce to the band’s earliest days. I often think of those early songs more in terms of feeling then anything, and it starts with the first single.

I love the Love Me Do remastering. That harmonica sounds so crisp. The bluegrassy harmonies have never sounded better. The ones on ple-ee-ee-ease still give me chills. Ringo’s drums moved forward in the mix to appreciate that driving beat just a bit more. I can hear the bass too. I can’t wait to hear what the other early Red album tracks sound like.

But next to Now and Then, I’m also looking at the lyrics like I never did before. Why give it another glance? Written by a 16 year old kid, it always sounded a bit juvenile and simple. But suddenly next to Now and Then, there’s a weight to it I never heard before.

Love, love me do

You know I love you

I’ll always be true

So please, love me do

It sounds like a promise. Now and Then is fulfillment of that always. It’s no longer just the whim of a kid. But rather the beginning of 7 decade devotional: To John, to the band, to fans, and reflected back again. The love is reciprocal from all sides.

How’s that for a WAIT WHAT moment? Paul turning the least likely song inside out and backwards. And he didn’t even add a lyrical middle eight.

I'm just... so tired of needing to filter my words 500 times in my head before actually saying them in order to avoid giving off the wrong impression with my tone/wording, and then failing anyways. Even over text I need to rewrite things multiple rimes and use multiple different tonal indicators and it still comes out wrong!!! And then neurotypical people are just out there saying whatever and people understand what they mean every time! Its so exhausting just let me say things the way I mean them pls

#currently dealing with the rsd of someone misreading a silly little comment i made #and im probably misreading their tone too but its so hard to tell and i just wanna be done with that #hhhh brain... brain bad #i gotta get some sleep #pls dont read into anything i say its not that deep im just dumb and autistic #from now on just imagine me saying wverything with a flat tone and no expression ok thx #autism spectrum disorder #rejection sensitive dysphoria #rsd #neurodivergent #audhd #asd #autism #ahdjshsksj i just blocked someone bc i just. i cant deal with this rn #and i know itll probably just make me look like an asshole but at this point theyll probably think that regardless #and the whole ordeal is giving me a headache #but i wanted to say something just to get it out of my head #so i can fucking sleep #hhhhh

i read howl's moving castle yesterday and i was like oh i understand everything now. yeah i would also fuck off to become a wizard if i was a grad student and also welsh. anyway i decided to rewatch the movie immediately after i finished the book because i hadnt watched it in a long time and the whiplash i experienced going from book howl straight into movie howl's introduction is so indescribably funny i really recommend you all just try it for yourselves

#tw: kelly #the book was good! #i thought the ending was sort of weak but it was very enjoyable read overall #i'll probably end up lending this book to my kid cousin #on the movie the plot is held together entirely with like toothpicks and vibes #the obligatory ghibli antiwar plotline was not inserted very cohesively this time around #it definitely stands pretty well as its own thing but i think i will say i flat out dislike their reinterpretation of sophie

idk how long my laptop will survive seeing as i hardly use it anymore so anyway here's an abandoned project from a couple of years ago where i ambitiously tried to make an rpg with the yokai outfits. here are some sprites i made

#identity v #aesop carl #identity v embalmer #joseph desaulnier #identity v photographer #tracy reznik #identity v mechanic #this is a part 1 i have more. but its not enough for an entire game #i had a couple of glaring plotholed i couldnt resolve #n tbh by the time i got to the other sprites i didnt like the way aesop n joseph turned out cos i did them first #i also meant to shade them but i couldnt get around to it. i think the flats are nicer but i also feel like i should shade #project death by perfectionism. if anyone wants to hear more im more than happy to share about this #i could probably dig up the docs somewhere. i dont have the time or energy to make a full blown game #i am so bad at coding #also shoutout n apology to ish aka azzy mun cos she offered to help with this #but i disappointed both her and myself by not having anything very concrete. im sorry ish but also thank u for the help #anyway seeing as the blog is slowly dying due to lack of asks n interactions n also my full time job that hates me #i might as well dump these here for archive sake #unconcerned art #part 2 coming soon

You’ve got to be very careful with doing a deliberate misinformation on your fantasy lore bc it’s easy to just end up confusing your readers — give people too many layers of lies or wrong information to peel back and they’ll simply stop keeping track, whether because they got lost or because any revelations were so often later refuted that they stopped caring — however if you do have the skill to strike that balance it’s both enriching and very funny to have guys in your world who are Just Wrong about how stuff works.
