this is probably too far out but im really really curious if they’re gonna somehow develop morty and diane’s (lacking) grandma-grandson relationship in some way next season

i know they probably won’t, morty’s really not the character that they love to dive into, but it would be SO interesting. morty’s always felt pretty disconnected from rick, never able to relate to him and frankly the character he sees as most similar to him is jerry (who is, a HORRIBLE role model)

but i bring this up because i feel like morty could be motivated in some way, out of resentment for rick, to see diane as some mysterious figure who he WISH he knew. someone who he truly believes he could relate to. once again, it’s far out, and in fear no mort he never even really SPOKE to diane, but honestly im pretty desperate for some morty character development that isn’t between him and rick. they already did a deep dive in his biggest fears but it still relates to rick, and i need him to actually be developed as a character OUTSIDE of rick like how rick himself is.

if it’s not diane, some other character who he can view as a role model out of desperate need for feeling a connection. some character we haven’t met, jessica, evil morty, space beth, i dunno, just SOMEONE.

another thing id like them to address is morty’s neurodivergence, although it’s not specified it is stated he has a disability (and yeah yeah, i know pilots aren’t canon, but it’s still heavily implied) of some sort, either adhd or autism (im betting on autism since him and rick are meant to be kind of reflections of each others, different sides of the same coin). they’ve had it mentioned indirectly a few times, think the planetina episode “I’ve never fit in anywhere”. i really do feel like it’d be a great episode to address rick and morty’s absolute oppositeness, rick being unsympathetic morty being hypersympathetic, rick being introverted but overall socially competent, morty being extroverted but overall socially incompetent, rick being traditionally intelligent and morty being emotionally intelligent, stuff like that.

i mean, it’s been addressed in a way but not as a full episode, and i feel like morty looking for a new person to try and connect to, desperate to find someone who doesn’t hurt him and he can actually feel like a person around, and rick not having a person to lean on whether they like it or not causing him to kind of break a bit too. something something something

A very long post of doodles relating to @theminecraftbee ‘s smallishsona AU (sorry for the tag again). I think of this AU while wandering Tartarus, so, I’ve had a lot of time to think. This post is really long and has a lot of rambling so, I’m putting it all under the cut. I’m sorry world I have too many words and rambles in me

First up, character designs!

I used primarily their mc skins for design, with only a few rl things thrown in. But, I didn’t bring them up so the colors are off a bit.

Starting off with Joel:

He’s following the persona protagonist tradition of mostly wearing the school uniform correctly, but with some minor embellishments. I’m still debating whether or not to add more, but w/e. His signature color is green.

Then Skizz and Impulse:

The greatest dichotomy of time to design, Impulse I knocked out on the second go, but I’ve done many iterations of Skizz and I still am not satisfied with this design. The ripped sleeves looked too out there (to me, at least) but nothing else seems to work so I settled for the shirt under uniform shirt look. Something I struggled with that these two emphasize is making them look like teenagers, and what they look like, and also keep to the anime style, and also my own incompetence with drawing facial features so It’s something all of these lack in. Impulse is yellow, and Skizz is blue.

Scar and Grian are next up, Scar’s facial Scar is from summoning his persona, because he stabbed himself in the face lol. Not much to say about these guys, I settled on orange for Scar and red for grian, which I am still struggling with beacause mumbo:

is ALSO red. So I guess they are just, both? red? If you look at the party select screens in persona though, the characters have pretty strong color coding, so I guess I’ll figure something out. If anyone is still reading: help. Anyway, mumbo wins the award for wearing the uniform the most normal (except for the tie)

Last but not least, Gem!

She’s wearing a longer skirt than the usual uniforms and also some big-ass boots. Also, she’s a sea monster thing? So, I was thinking, staring at SEES cool new uniform things and thinking about the Phantom Thieves and how cool their outfits are and realized the persona games have at least some design change to separate their daily looks from shadow hunting. Even if it is only glasses in p4 lol. So, I thought maybe weapon holsters? but, that seemed a little too generic. So! I decided to combine how I normally draw the hermits (and a lot of the fandom does) as having non-human traits as the big things setting their combat looks apart. It is both a) fun to draw, b) creates an eye catching and distinctive design for combat and c) is really funny. I thought it was funny so I drew a comic about it:

and here’s a sketch of what everyone looks like and also the transformation gives them very distinct eyes, for no reason other than I think it looks cool:

mumbo is a normal human btw (or at least, he appears to be)

Welp,that’s all I got. If I look at these drawings any longer I will hate them so here they are, yippee. Also, Bee/OP, sorry for exploding; I am into persona and hermitcraft right now so this AU is like a perfect storm to give me brain rot.

#hermitcraft #persona #my art #smallishbeans #smallishsona #i have other comic ideas but i dont want to be annoying ahhh *explodes*

This took over 20 hours to make I'm deceased... I'm glad it's done I need a break lol

Close ups on the pins under the cut!! (And some extra little notes for fun)

The formatting and graphic design could be better but, again, I just want to be done 😭 so ummm oops sorry !!

Yay yum yayaya art woooo yes !!!

More notes for fun !!

- when I say "loves animals (... not many, but still)" it means he can, has, and WILL burn squirrels alive for free entertainment, as well as shooting animals for fun... but he would also cry and feel awful if he stepped on a dog's foot... he's got favorites, basically, and does NOT hide it

- sun freckles, because why not

- kinda a dirty kid... literally the definition of "boys will be boys 🤪" where he's just always getting into the weirdest shit. You take your eyes off him for 1 second and he returns with mud all over himself and probably has a cat or something and just has the dumbest smile on his face !!! Idiot kid love him tho

- I added a gir pin because I love gir and for fun, doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense.... just roll with it !!

- made him Trans bc psychonauts as a whole is a trans allegory in my mind so, it made sense !! And because he's... 10 he hasn't done anything medical yet, just socially transitioned !! (Adding this point because some people see that and think the wrong things, like those ppl who think 4 year Olds are getting surgery and forcefully getting hormones jabbed into them. NO that's not happening)

- if he was a 2000s kid he'd like a lot of different things, like Mario and sonic games, and certain TV shows and movies (like invader zim, pokemon shows/movies, Disney stuff etc. Just general kids stuff yk?)

- sasha gave him coffee once.... he then proceeded to ramble about random things for hours while he tried to help work on things. So, he was able to focus better but won't shut UP (I'm projecting)

- he enjoys media that reminds him of himself, which is the "odd man out" type stuff, it helps him feel better about feeling like he doesn't belong bc he knows he isn't alone. It's sad but it helps him idk!!

OKAY IM DONE (for now) but yippee wow isn't that cool !!! I'm curious what yall think so lmk if u wanna !! I love hearing what Y'all think of my stuff, and I might post more headcanon type stuff later on if that's something ur interested in, honestly just send me an ask if u wanna know my hc for specific characters!!

OKAY goodbye drink water 💖

If you want songs that fit your au, I might suggest the vocaloid song "BIOHAZARD" by Crusher P.

Some of the lyrics fit really well, in my opinion.

"You can scream as much as you want, I hear you loud and clear, the thought of being alone, fills you with fear. We're gonna end this war, right here and now, this won't go on anymore cause imma bring you. Down." [Could be a mix of suns' and pebbs' perspectives on moon on the edge collapsing]

"Why do you still look at me like I belong to you? Its like you won't let me go no matter what I do, you must be a parasite or some sick disease, your fingers wrapped around my throat, suffocating me." [Could be Pebbs getting fed up with both moon and suns' behaviour, though not likely]

"Predators devour their prey, to nourish their being, but the way you tend to feed off of me's the most vicious thing I've seen. You must be an animal unable to feel, a monster starved for centuries, you've made me your meal" [moon to suns, or pebbs to moon/suns potentially though I think moon to suns fits better due to the unable to feel bit]

"You are my Biohazard Biohazard Biohazard, I am your Biohazard Biohazard Biohazard" [pebbles to both moon and suns most likely, though the I am your Biohazard bit fits well with pebbs to moon specifically]

This little song recommendation was brought to you by chanon [chaos anon]!

BROO! WHY DOES THIS ACTUALLY FIT SO WELL HELLO?

I especially love the second part of the lyrics you gave me. The part with the “You must be a parasite or some sick disease” also reminded me of the rot in some way.

The “predators devour their prey….” part, WOO I definitely get the Moon talking about Suns part in that. With how Suns is in this Au mainly lacking emotions and some what manipulative and Moon SEEING that fits these lyrics so well YIPPEE

Anyways have some art that was inspired by the lyrics:

The shading was hard to do for some reason. I wanted it to be simple yet complex and my brain just overlapped itself.

The background was made in a completely different canvas and exported to this piece, so here it is in full and not covered by edginess XD

Wanted this to kinda give the sort of texture/dull color look like one the Ancient paintings that are in the game with these two. Designing was hard but fun ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Anyways I’m done rambling. If anyone has anymore songs let me know ❤︎︎

appears looking at you with autism creature eyes. hello @sangerie your vs bros fankids (one of which i had a hand in making bc. glances at the reblogs/notes in @loopyarts post. i have confessed there fskakfafsga) are really really neat .u.

SPEAKING of loopyarts ty for allowing me to take inspo for nijis kids raid suit fit!! i really liked the softer yellow and the thicker lightning bolts on his pants you gave him so tysm for letting me yoink it <3

uh uhh individual pieces and also design/character rants under the cut bc. i wanna.

RAID SUIT RAMBLING TIME bc i spent the most time on those. also you might be asking 'why is only their hair rendered in those pieces?' well the answer is because i am Lazy. moving on . (/HJHJ i AM lazy but also rendering it further would mess up the colors and i didn't wanna do that lmao. carrying on..)

Ichiji's daughter i am so SO proud of her fit. i did not look up a reference or even inspo ideas at all, that all came from the ole noggin baybeee. anyways she is obviously based off a magical girl(s) fit bc she wants and DESERVES to be. also since Reiju doesn't have any kids of her own (based wine aunt) i also decided to let Little Red have some of her motifs instead of just purely Ichiji's!! primarily the 66 on her pants but also all the pink on her instead of just red :) and obviously she has her dads number and while she DOES have a (white? bc like daddy shes a special little princess /aff) cape i didn't include it here bc it looked reallly bad lmao. but she does have one tucked into the bow probably!! there she is, Sparkling Red Neo!!! (get it.. sparkling instead of sparking... bc magical girl.... im funny i think.) onto Little Ocean Boy

OKAY LET ME TALK ABOUT THE MOST MINISCULE YET MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL TO ME AND ME ALONE FIRST. that being the symbol on the brats belt. it was actually inspired/based off of this post which really stuck with me with me after reading it which i later realized was bc the "that something has been completely reversed" REMINDED ME OF THIS POST OF YOURS. i don't think im especially good at theory crafting but. idk i think there could be Something about how after judge came and turned germa into mercenaries their symbol turned from what once symbolized 'purity' into the skull of war mongers and then BACK to purity after 0124 get germa on the right path... poetry or smthn. ANYWAYS yah shoe shiners got a pretty basic fit bc like i said in the og ask, hes a sora warrior of the sea fan, once he saw the raidsuits irl methinks he'd want to stay pretty close to the og design. HOWEVER he refuses to drop the hat (much to Niji's dismay) and i came up with a reason besides 'its one piece and therefore there's GOTTA be a kid with a weird hat that they're attached to': and that is the fact that it hides his eyebrows. Little Red has the curly brows, all of Yonji's cabbage patch does too, and the brats the only one without. even if literally no one else notices or cares, he wants to hide the fact that he doesn't have em because it Separates him. and he doesn't want that. at all. he really, Really wants to be a part of this family (oh no i made it. angsty). ANYWAYS UHH YAYYY HE HAS A TWO ON HIS HAT (that he sewed on himself which is why i made sure you can see the stitch-lines) BC NIJIS HIS DAD WAHOO YIPPEE :D:D:D Dengeki Blue Neo: little shoe shiner edition!!

UHH second image is just a refined piece of that first doodle i sent you. with lineart and a better color pallet and all. actually looking at it again now i realize i forgot little brats freckles and i am now punching the air bc its too late to fix. just act like they're there. please :,,,) edit: nvm its the next morning i fixed that kjahsdah

i don't even have much to say about the last two because i Think i am Rightgksfjgasjkfa but for the third i think the brats a bad influence on Little Red especially. ALSO FOR THE FOURTH NO I DIDNT FORGET ICHIJIS TATTOO. I AM JUST LAZY. (and I also forgot his tattoo :]) ANOTHER edit: i also. fixed this :]

CHRIST i am incapable of contacting you on Tumblr via any way that includes anything less than 250 words i am so sorry sangerie.. i hope you like these tho cause i really do tbh :3 (PS you have to take literally NONE of what I said here [mostly about shoe shiner] as like.. canon about them?? these are YOUR ocs obvi so please, change Little Red's raidsuit design if you find it unappealing!! make shoe shiner have a backstory of your own!!! i hope that isnt weird or rude to say, i just thought it was important too bc i threw sm at you so strongly ^^' okay thats all tysm for reading this it means to world to me byebye <3)

#one piece #vinsmoke ichiji #vinsmoke niji #one piece ichiji #one piece niji #others ocs tag #vinsmoke siblings #my art #im so happy with how the raid suits especially turned out like i can't get over it #i haven't been truly proud of an art piece for MONTHS this is so refreshing #like this aint perfect in a lotta other places but that alone is carrying this for me #also sangerie i am SO sorry if it looks like im virtually stalking you fjagskdakfsfa first the trans vs sisters and now this..#i promise im not there's just not a lot of ppl in the Vinsmokes tags and you and your stuff is really cool 😭 im normal i prommy /irony #okay ive literally said enough in the post im shutting up now gday or gnight take care #OH WAIT YEAH throwing in a #scopohobia tw #scopophobia cw #bc little brats eyes are borin into ya #OKAY now gday/night <3<3

time for the first oc post here, aka the main reason i started this blog ! yippee!!

here is mattias (left, he/him) and eva (right, she/her)!! they are drinking lemon soda by the river :]

i absolutely adore them.. they're best friends!!! they love each other and theyre so silly and !!! more rambles below the cut bc i love them so

okay okay so! they are both nineteen currently! that is because these two have grown with me since i made them at thirteen :] so now that im starting university so are they ! mattias is in fibre arts and design and eva is in public and social services (tho she's unsure about her choice at the moment)

they became friends in elementary school ! so they've known each other for a long time. at one point, eva's family fostered mattias! they became even closer during that time, confining in each other about their respective queer identities :]

their most common hang out is a makeover, other then board games (nerds), since mattias loves makeup and eva is always happy to try! any fashion in eva's closet was probably picket out by mattias :3

some individual info! mattias davis, or as eva calls him, mattie, is a queer cis guy who presents very feminine! his favorite color is pink and he makes sure the world knows it <3

eva summer is a trans girl and she's just chilling, really. she's having fun with life with her best friend by her side and its going great! her sexuality is fluid, so she decided to just leave it without a name :3 her favorite color is also pink ! they bonded over that when they first met :]

mattias' parents were unsupportive and ended up throwing him out at one point, after which he ended up in care of eva's parents. he ended up reuniting with his mom after a while, but right now he lives at the dorms with low contact to both his birth parents. the summers family has welcomed him to visit anytime tho, and he other does when eva misses them :] they're a duo <3

their story isn't set in a specific country, but its roughly the current world in which several of my other "normal" ocs exist! im drawing from my own experiences for them so inaccuracies are to be expected :P

here's an extra doodle for reading all that <3

self insert tiem :D

more info under the cut :)

Name: their name is my name and i dont want to share my irl name online :3

Age: 20-something

Pronouns: they/them

International student from the USA but they want to drop out. They work at a cafe and they hate their job. Their japanese is subpar, along with their english despite being a native speaker.

Their relationships with the sextuplets ^_^

Osomatsu - drinking buddies, he plays up his attraction to them around his brothers but when they're alone he treats them normally. They are rather close.

Karamatsu - they avoid him at all costs. His very existence repels them.

Choromatsu - they can't stand being around him too long. He's ok in small amounts but they don't really like being around him a lot

Ichimatsu - they hang out sometimes and enjoy each other's company.

Jyushimatsu - homoerotic besties YAY

Todomatsu - moots online, they met him first through their job

Now for the side characters :D

Totoko - they are very attracted to her. They love a woman who can kick their ass. Their relationship isn't very deep due to their awkwardness towards attractive women.

Nyaa-chan - they don't know jack shit about her nor would they care to due to Choromatsu liking her a little too much

Matsuyo and Matsuzo - weirdly attracted to both of them but they don't want to tell the brothers because that would be VERY awkward. They are very awkward with them.

Dekapan and Dayon - they are scared of Dayon but thinks Dekapan is goofy

Hatabou - he's intimidating to them for some weird reason

Iyami - they are also intimidated by him. They once saw him fight cats for scraps of food, they don't want to fuck with him at all.

Chibita - he verbally questions their choices, meanwhile, they keep him updated with their life. They met Chibita through the sextuplets and they enjoy his food.

I included a denki mystery design because tbh denki mystery is my fave :D

ANYWAYS SO! More rambling ahead about them!

They are replacing the Osomatsu-san staff but noncanonically, so their meta bullshit powers aren't that strong. It's strong enough that they can push reality to be sort of what they want, but they usually don't get their way.

I have a whole fucking google document about them might share more later yippee

If you got this far thanks for reading :3

give me the entire paragraph about all of your ocs now.

BWUH. UMM TYSM OK I will rant only about my sonas for now!! (rambles under the cut!)

Biscuit (middle) is my main sona, so they basically represent me! However, they're also a kinsona of Parappa the rapper and a comfort oc, so a lot of how I draw them + what I draw them doing are things that either comfort me to look at or I like/would like to do irl :33! Their design takes a lot of inspo from Parappa for the formerly-mentioned kin reasoning. I also almost always draw it sleepy since that's just the sorta thing I like in character design! This is honestly part of why Gamzee from homestuck and Wally from welcome home are some of my fav characters lol! I'm a sucker for a sleepy little guy :]] Little fun-facts abt Biscuit is that he loves muffins, rlly likes raking + crunching fall leaves, and is often found chasing their tail before getting dizzy and taking a nap!

Zee (far right) is my secondary sona (and also the oldest one I still use!) They are a mischevious little punk, always playing pranks and just being an all-around stinker. I sorta use Zee to represent my more loud and childish aspects, especially related to my autism! So Zee only talks in all-caps (not quite yelling but just kinda loud all the time), always moving, likes super """cringe""" media like Minecraft and FNAF and Bluey! Unlike Biscuit who lives in a funny little cottage, Zee is a vagabond and never likes to live in one place for too long! Too many good foods to try and people to prank!!

Beet (flying above Zee) is a minor sona! It represents me, but doesn't have nearly as much thought behind it as Biscuit and Zee admittedly :'] It is a fluffy Japanese rhino beetle, so basically just if that type of beetle had fur like a cat! It also behaves like a cat as well, being much more animal(??) than my other guys! Beet loves fruit and crafting more than anything else! It is also mute, talking with all my other guys through ASL :]]! It is just a silly little guy who likes having fun!!

Last is Chef (bottom left), my pokesona! Chef is by far the newest guy out of the bunch, thus doesnt have as much thought behind them either sadly :'''] But!! What I can say about them is that they love stealing pokeballs from trainers for their collection! Their goal is to eventually get one of each kind so they can make a rainbow out of them all. Contrary to the name, Chef has no idea how to make a good meal and will usually just munch on malasadas and berries :]] They're just a funny guy with big silly ears yippee wahoo!!

That's everyone I still use as a sona!! Longtime followers might remember Metro, though as of rn, he is retired in favour of these four and I am currently looking to rehome him :]] Tysm for the question anon, this was rlly fun!!

#yippee wahoo sona rambles!!#also drawing them all together was so fun like. there they are!! my guys!!!#ask #asks #anon

okay I'm kind of crossfaded now so I'm gonna ramble a little like

I have spent a lot a lot of my life hating myself and feeling really bad about myself and I will NOT pretend that I don't sometimes feel like that to this day, at almost 31 motherfuckin years old. I've wanted to kill myself as recently as a couple months ago (I am now back on medication and feeling thst less, so yippee!)

but I can also really truly say that I am doing much better than I used to. and fuck it. I'm proud of that.

and I can say that being proud of yourself for one tiny little thing can make so, so much of a difference.

for me it was hiking, fashion, and having and designing my own apartment. for you, maybe it's art. or writing. or feeling like you get that blorbo better than anyone else. or an instrument, or your voice when you sing in the car. maybe it's a video game you're good at. whatever.

let yourself be proud of that and own it. make your own art your phone wallpaper, just on the hopes some bar bouncer will compliment it in passing.

it can have a ripple effect, even if it's just something tiny. love yourself every time it pops into your head. take your meds and stay hydrated. make sure you eat at least one vegetable a day. I really do believe in you

RIGHT BACK AT YOU. ART GAME NUMBERS 1, 17, AND 22

(And mayyyybe 20 if you'd like to ;))

YIPPEE

How would you describe your style?

Hm. That's always a hard question for me. Mine is a bit more cartoony and certainly takes liberties when it comes to how realistic it is, but at the same time I try to get things close to accurate (such with anatomy and detail and whatnot).

I can't find words that pinpoint what my style looks like, but I can certainly find the inspirations that got it to where it is now. (Anime and various animations!)

Since we're speaking of my style though, fun fact: I CAN'T for the life of me imitate other people's art styles. It'll always look really similar to my regular art style, just changed up a bit. I see challenges were people imitate different art styles and realize, "Wow! That's cool! How the HELL did they do that!!"

17. What do you love getting compliments about?

When it comes to art? Anything, to be honest. Hell, I'm happy if people reblog my art without any tags. (Although, once or twice, I've gotten an "inspo" or a keysmash or a slight ramble and that really made my day.)

What I like most though is feedback on my OCs. I'm honestly rather bad at character design, and I love knowing what people think about them. Alas, people hardly see my OC art...when I do post it. </3

22. What inspires you?

MANY THINGS, my friend. Some things have made lifelong shifts on my art style (ex: the shading under the chin technique I use is derived from the anime Black Clover!), but most often, I get inspired to draw a specific thing.

Music often inspires me- especially vocaloid, and especially if there's art featured in the video. One of my favorite vocaloid songs is Reckless Battery Burns and I'm obsessed with the MV in it.

TV and movies inspire me, too. I adore the Owl House and have noticed some completely unintentional similarities between Hunter and one of my own characters! Also, bringing back Black Clover, there's a lot of worldbuilding from Masked inspired from that anime.

Books inspire me too! A good example of that is my Shapeshifter/Badgeseller 1984 comic. Another series that gives me inspiration is the Giver series by Lois Lowry (not just the first book, the entire thing, all four books). Ooh, and also the Pandava series (or the Aru Shah series, I don't fully know what to call it). Writing is cool! :)

Secret question: 20. A piece from this year that you're really proud of!

Most of my art this year is Shadow Rift, haha...let me see what I can find.

^ This one is a good starting point! This one was me playing around with lighting. I found a new technique to use with my art program, and was just messing around with it. So I paid less attention to the background and colors to do so. Here's a fraction of a screenshot I took when I realized just how good it was!

I was going to compare it to another one of Shadow Rift's pieces, but I realized that discussion would be too long. And would ruin the magic of the piece I was comparing. Whatever.

Next one has bright colors!

I was mostly playing around with colors and proportions on this one, and I really like the turnout. This is the rare piece of Doodle OC art. Her name is Krystll, and YES I will infodump about her if asked.

And, for the final thing I'm super proud of, that Shapeshifter/Badgeseller 1984 comic. Go look at it again, if you want to. :)

That's it for now! Thank you so much for asking! I'm willing to answer any follow up questions anywhere you like! (Tumblr, Discord, etc.)

#artbabble-tm #ask game #cosmoknightchaos #shadow rift #oc #oc art #normally this is where I ramble more in the tags but I've done enough of that #<3 ty so much for asking

I said I was going to ramble here, and I sort of forgot. Well, more specifically, I had this perfectionistic mindset on what I wanted to be posted since it's a far more public place, so I put off rambling until I found something I though was worthy of being talked about.

Anyway, I was planning on talking about history but as I rambled further below, I'm instead going to just vomit out some things.

Me when my mind

I'm not as big of a nerd (obsessive study guy) than I actually seem, and I often feel like I have to dedicate a large chunk of malleable time in order to push myself into studying things. This is because my specific way of learning things, the moment I start, requires me to learn every detail there is to something.

This also stems from a sort of perfectionistic desire to ensure that everything works out if I did put in effort into doing something, so I'm often left with the choice of either just half-assing or full-assing, and due to the constraint of the variety of my interests, I never want to full-ass in case I miss out on another interest of mine. It's a huge time sink, and I already have multiple projects I'm devoting some time into.

Perfectionism and poor executive control don't mix well at all

Recent obsessions

1. Urban Design

Recently I've been really into wanting to learn more about urban planning and city design as a side to another project of mine. Since the past, I've always been interested in exploring the idea of a city and how that affects its inhabitants. The cultures, history, customs, etc. have both such a clear but also vague relationship with the person inhabiting it. Constantly in my head I'm playing with the ideas of where farms will be built, how people will acquire resources, and how people will build communities based on these material needs. The way the population due to their history will affect the city, and how it becomes this system of perpetuation of the minds of the people is fascinating. But most interestingly, now that I think about it, is the way that these histories continue to put pressure on the psyche of the population by virtue of structures and layout being permanent.

Imagine if the statues of totalitarian dictators continue to loom over your now democratic nation, preserved for historical purposes. That'd be some fucked up shit. A population holding on to trauma for the fact that it's a portion of one's history. There are ways of preserving history that's healthy. Put it in a museum rather in a public place.

2. Chinese History (or, a very long ramble mostly about the Yellow River)

So i was reading up on Chinese history because, out of everything, that's basically the one I have the least clue about. It was going to be fun, I thought, but then it opened up a can of worms that's important but minimally to the understanding of Chinese history: The Yellow River

The Yellow River is one of the rivers in China that became the catalysts that started it all. All civilizations require access to water for farming purposes, and the Yellow River provided that. It's also used for traversing and trade.

Look at how yellow and murky that is yippee But my main interest wasn't the interaction between the Yellow River and ancient Chinese historical development. No, what I need to know is why the fuck is the river yellow?

Okay, so the yellow river wasn't originally yellow. It gained its name after it got its color. In the beginning it was just the river. What caused the coloration is the distribution of sediments from the Loess Plateau. Doesn't explain it still. Okay: Loess is a silt-like sediment. Silts are basically a granular material with the size between sand and clay. Not completely fine, but it's small. They're created through the Aeolian process, which is basically saying: they're caused by winds carrying small bits of weathered materials.

Aeolian Process Okay, but why yellow: because one of those small bits carried by the wind is Iron Oxide, which typically come in Yellow and Red forms. Additionally, there are just a bunch of various other silt materials there that interact with light in such a way that it gives off a yellowish coloration.

Iron Oxides

Have you ever seen what sand looks like under a microscope? Do you think they're just yellow particle grains all there under your feet being silly? Nope. They're

a collection of various different materials: quartz, rocks, shells, minerals, volcanic materials all smoothened up by their time under water. The yellow coloration is in part due to the interaction between these collections of materials and light when viewed from far away rather than their composition. That can help explain the yellow coloration of Loess.

And even more fascinating: the fact that this river has a lot of Loess running through it means that when rivers go on a very meandering, slow route, the loess sediment transportation slows down too, and, affected by gravity, falls to the riverbed. Accumulation of Loess begins and natural embankments are made. That embankment goes high enough, the yellow river will have to change routes because by that point, it becomes more energy efficient for the river to find another path to the sea.

The Yellow River has always been known for its turbulence, but I think the surprising connection of the yellow coloration and its turbulence is just very cool and exciting.

In the 2,540 years from 595 BC to 1946 AD, the Yellow River has been reckoned to have flooded 1,593 times, shifting its course 26 times noticeably and nine times severely.

Not only that, but artificial embankments were made in an attempt to control the shifting paths of the river. That artificial embankment only helped to shift its path yet again, causing it to flood and displaced people yet again.

That's what I've learned about Chinese history. idk about dynasties or smth yet.

3. Cyberpunk 2077

Visually amazing. Great lore. Lots of attention to detail on the urban design, historicism, architecture and the various cultures of Night City. It feels alive and as if everything has its historical purpose. Each district is distinct and memorable. Constantly playing the game just to get on a car/motor and ride through it.

Extra thoughts

So earlier I talked about how I wasn't that big of a nerdy guy. Sorry I was wrong.

#Obsessions #Ramble #idk what do people put in tags anyway #if you have any ideas just tell me what tags I should use thank you.#also this is way better than twitter the way I can just write a whole 3 page ramble about shit im into rather than separating them into dif #erent tweets and going [1/16] or something.
