#figuring it out can be half the fun

[ne0nwithazero]

Every Deltarune chapter needs a cat darkner methinks 😌 Anyway, I'm finally ready to reveal the second of the Cable's Channel leaders!! Meet Mittens, she is the leader of the Cooking Channel! You meet her slowly after Klieg ditches you for better talent and she wants to make sure she'll do a better job than her pretentious coworker ❤️ Certainly nothing will go wrong whatsoever :)

#Deltarune OC #Mittens #Deltarune #My Art #She has been in development hell for almost half a year #I've been stuck in her design for a whileeeee #But she's genuinely so fun to draw I love her a lot #I still need to figure out the final leader and then I can hopefully start setting more things up :3 #Also came up with another duo for NPCs but only one of them has somewhat of a design #So I need to wait until the two of them are designed so I can share :)

fly high

#my art #ildari sarothril #flat chested queen #the scar on her face is just decorative to make her look more outwardly scary but she probably got it when n*loth missed some spell on - #- accident or something and she walked off her face almost being torn in half like a man so that n*loth wouldn't think she's a little - #- bitch for crying even though she;s never experienced that type of pain in her life and couldn't even fathom it up to that point and it - #- gave her permanent brain damage #i learned to draw her just so i could put her in my dr*gon ball au cause i figured out who she will be but she's FUN ok #also i still don't like white hair on dunmer Bruh but hers can be explained by her greying in 0.0004 after n*loth ripped her chest open #idk she's been through a lot ig :)

My friends and I were talking about time travel AU Ineffable Husbands and I think we literally just rewrote doctor who

#good omens #neil gaiman #doctor who #david tennant #All time travel references metamorphose into doctor who references in a fortnight #its kinda funny because half of that group hasn't even watched doctor who #I wonder if Aziraphale would be freaking out about the butterfly effect #or if he just wouldn't care and would be just going for the crepes that they stopped serving like that a few centuries ago #“You can't get decent ones anywhere but Paris in the 19th century” #And then Crowley would have so much fun tormenting past figures with modern technology #I can only imagine how he'd break poor Da Vinci's brain #I mean we already knew Crowley taught him about the helicopter #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #ineffable spouses #ineffable #michael sheen

how i think asgzc handles being/behaves while sick

(except im actually projecting because im really sick and miserable and mildly (very) delirious)(also this was written mostly in the short period between like 30 min fever dream plagued naps… so its all over the place and don’t expect accurate characterization)

angeal: hes that one motherfucker that can have a high fever and will still insist on doing everything, he could be on his deathbed and still trying to do stuff and care for everyone else until everyone else literally forces him to stop and rest, and even then he will still try to downplay his illness and worry about everyone else

sephiroth: realistically he doesn’t get sick but like… we’re ignoring that… he’s absolutely pitiful but without even meaning to be, like he’s perfectly fine being alone and letting it run its course but he ends up just looking so pitiful that genesis and angeal can’t resist him, they won’t leave him alone and end up trying to comfort sephiroth in any way possible, and upon trying to cuddle him, sephiroth will immediately cling to them, betraying his original ability to be alright alone

genesis: gets super clingy and whiny and refuses to let sephiroth or angeal leave him alone, inevitably forcing them to get sick with him, and hes total crybaby the entire time, needing reassurance about everything he has ever done and will ever do because for some reason being really sick makes him reflect on himself which makes him emotional and regret everything he’s ever done and fear that he isn’t good enough for sephiroth and angeal, all the emotional baggage and insecurities come flooding out until he cries himself to sleep again, wakes up from the strangest fever dream, clings to whoever is closest and the cycle continues, only breaking every so often when he forces sephiroth and angeal to feed him or they force genesis to take medicine, all the necessities ect.

zack: whiny clingy and needy, will cling to cloud like his life depends on it and uses cloud as a living teddy bear, unable to be left alone because if anyone even mentions leaving him alone for a second he immediately starts looking like a kicked puppy and clings on even tighter, desperate to be comforted, and needs to be distracted often from the fact that he is sick or else he will complain about how shitty he feels 24/7, also he will throw a fit and refuse any medication like a child until angeal either shoves a pill down his throat like a dog or crushes it up and hides it in some kind of food… also like a dog… angeal basically has to employ every dog medicine giving tactic

cloud: tries to isolate and let the illness do its thing, not wanting to get anyone else sick, and also not really wanting anyone else to see him sick and think he’s weak because he thinks every little thing, including unavoidable things like getting sick, will make him seem weak, but zack refuses to leave him alone, trying to comfort cloud in any way possible, trying to tend to every single one of clouds needs and constantly makes sure cloud is okay, although cloud tries to push zack away because he doesn’t want zack to get sick, plus unfortunately zack can get a bit stressful and be a bit of a pain in the ass to handle at times

#… maybe i projected really hard on one of them in particular… no one will ever guess who… #the answer is genesis and part of it is actually based off of a specific time i got sick as a kid #i am miserable and feel super shitty and cant do much so im doing what i can… making a questionable post i probs wont remember later :) #but that kinda seems like part of the fun! #unleash it and let others determine how much sense your half asleep sick fever dream brain makes #im not thinking straight at all i’ve been sick for a few days already so im slightly better now but not enough to think right yet #but then i also get to figure it out and make sense of it when im better enough to think :) #ff7 #ffvii #final fantasy 7 #crisis core #asgzc #angeal hewley #sephiroth #genesis rhapsodos #zack fair #cloud strife

started another file and got two really terrible pairs of siblings. arent they pretty :)

BONUS I MARRIED ONE OF EM I LOVE U FOREVER PINKNIGO 🫶🩷

#ann plays awakening #the great thing about the gay hack is that if i make most of them siblings #it cuts my grinding in half!! #anyways i absolutely started a new file to marry pink inigo like i wont even bother hiding that #but i figured while im here i might as while try out some other pairings #i have the rest of them written down i just need to. yk. grind em out #another time though #in case you havent noticed by now awakening is really just my fun family simulator #its fun for me #something i didnt expect though was that cordelia!owain looks REALLY good #i didnt expect that but his hair + his red accents??? HELLO?? #and ik u can make him ginger in the base game but no one really matches cordelia red yk #sully could work actually but that’s still not a vanilla game thing #also cordelia lets him have full access to the VVW combo which is excellent #severa unfortunately misses out on wrath but thats alright #she’s really pretty with lissa’s hair. maybe she got the pigtails from mom

intaglio prints i did of my oc Dave for a class assignment like a year ago! a bit about Dave's feelings being a friendly but eternal, undying, and interdimensional sort of guy. being a little outside of the rest of the world's phase of reality, wanting to connect but knowing it can never last etc etc. was very fun!

#art #traditional art #printmaking #intaglio #done with like a vaguely photogravue-esque method: putting transparent film with drawings on a plate that has a photosensitive film over to #transferring the image via a uv light partial cure - removing the less cured parts (where the drawings lines were) #and then fully curing the film so its hard and can be used as a very low profile intaglio! #its very fun and fast - and thats why the drawings look so drawing-ly LOL they were pen drawings photocopied onto transparent paper #these were supposed to be like a sequential storytelling thing for the assignment where each plate was supposed to stand alone well #but i lost the plot half way through and made mine too intended to be layered so i understandably got docked a few marks for that LOL #BUT thats okay i learned a lot (1. remember the assignment instructions) and i still like these! #i should do more intaglio. i thought i hated it but then i realized the method for inking i was taught first was overkill #(i was taught to put way more ink than is needed and it took FOREVER to polish) but now that ive figured out easier methods #its really fun! and works well for someone like me who loves their sketchy lines

Oh I can't wait to refine and finally post the designs for PK's siblings in my AU, it really looks like their mother ran out of ink while making them

#thylacines can talk #they legit get grasually lighter to pure ass white with Ebur if you sort them from eldest ot youngest KDHDNDBD #also lately ive been obsessed with making tiny little variants that involve wyrmroot and them meeting and hallownest's infancy. sometimes #i make it so they just have normal ass kids no trauma involved. i like soft domestic aus from time to time #anyway one ive fell in love with lately was what if Adamas had her 6 shits after she had to cast off her bigger form and PK never got #separated from his family? these are very fun i love writing PK and his mother butting heads about WL. its very fun #my latest creation involves the 7 wyrms ending up in WL's groove back when she was yet to leave her father's territory. and PK and WL #having a fun little secret romance because they damn well know neither of their parents would approve of this and theyd rather avoid the #shitstorm. WL was getting to move on and find her own place eventually so themade a game plan where PK would leave with his fanily and #eventually leave and rejoin her next spring and they could leave together. But his ass got caught because he had Flower and Amaryllis/ #Lullaby the 1st. Oopsie. But I love this AU i love writing PK's family taking care of him. the twins living with their aunts uncles and #granny and the eventual relentless teasing and jokes aimed st PK once they figure out the babies are half-root. its all very fun

I will read the most inane and useless stuff for hours just for my own interest/enjoyment, but reading academic papers is like pulling a tooth 😭😭 like I genuinely think I'd find the info interesting but the fact that ik it's in pursuit of doing an assignment somehow manages to kills my motivation 100%

#step 1. you pick a research topic you find genuinely interesting #step 2. you have to research and read papers abour this topic. hey dont you remember you find this interesting?? #i just remember going on deep dives learning about random historical figures #but absolutely god forbid i read anything in the pursuit of actual schoolwork #i think its mostly that i feel constantly under duresss when im reading it yknow? #all i can think is: im going to have to write something about this #lol just need someone i can blab to about politics and maybe it would actually work out for me #but ugh yeah theres just such a palpable difference btwn reading smth for enjoyment and reading something 'for work' #here is an example! #in my one class i think my prof put The Prince as a reading #i didnt even look cause im liek yeah i aint reading all of that #fast forward a year later: oh my god! i wanna read machiavelli so bad! i wanna feel intellectual 🥰🥰 #literally bought myself a copy of it ..... #i think im too self aware. id like to remove all sense of context from my brain #literally spent hours today watching documentaries that are actually pretty relevant to my one course #<- but note. they werent FOR my course. i was just doing ir for fun! i wanted to learn!! #but if i got assigned a hour and a half docu for class....that shit would not be getting done #ugh yeah anyways i have two research papers this sem #and its so fucking annoying bcs its so open to my choices. like here. you can pick smth you find genuinely interesting #and you guys literally witness me constantly learn info and want to apply it #but the thought of having to write a paper for school(god forbid) literally keeps me awake at night #its just yeah. wish i could remove that particular barrier from my brain #bcs some of the things i do for fandom are literally borderline research papers #like. read and research a bunch. write about it to other people. apply the info(in fic/drawing/meta) #and really the topics are not so different from my actual coursework #but when i contemplate having to research and write for school it just flatlines my brain #need to start forcing people to watch me borderline seminar so that it feels more fun and in-line w what i do on here #the fernando card post???? practically a research paper. god. my brain is so bad #catie.rambling.txt

i keep thinking i rly didnt go thru that much growing up, but idk, everytime i tell someone abt my life, they say i did and kinda just like sit in shock abt it. am i just internet brained or smth, or am i just dramatic?? i rly dont think ive earned a lot of the symtoms of someone who was traumatized that i have. or maybe i havent been in a safe place for long enough to process things??? i dunno. maybe someday far away in the future ill figure things out

my ambitions for the score of thralls (full version of the project I'm not sure when I'll admit what this project is exactly but I guess I'll have to eventually) are getting frankly ridiculous, but!!! I'm planning to develop a library of themes for everyone, and *especially* ganondorf who gets a billion musical ideas developed throughout the series, which gives me sooo many opportunities to develop fun moments of character development with just the music :>>

#thoughts #animatic project #thralls of power #ganondorf #decided to separate ganondorf and ganon as musical ideas first and foremost #there will be a leitmotif for ancient gerudo kings and the weight of that heritage #trying to figure out if I can delay the actual ganondorf theme for as long as I can #to accompany the concretisation of that journey to get to that level #not sure I'll manage this one but we Will delay the full all-in orchestral BWAA BWA BWAA BWA BWAA BWA BWAAAAAA #(you know the one you can hear it) #but yeah anyway #thralls' elevator pitch being kind of “Ganondorf's Fun Adventures in the Nexus of Pain From Which He Will Emerge Forever Changed” #granted: he built at least half of the nexus of pain himself and then repeatedly throws himself in it to “prove a point” #but still

[rose-ramblings]

you'll never guess what I've been playing lately

#goldic's drawings #vegito #dragon ball dokkan battle #good news everyone! I found a shading brush that I'm happy with! #i'll finish that other thing I keep mentioning eventually I swear I've only got 3 characters left to do on it #but uhhhhh y e a h I've been playing Dokkan for like a week and a half now (blame the content creators for making it look really fun) #I understand absolutely nothing other than 'it's a big number go brr type of game' #but it also gets me to use some strategy in my team building and fighting which I am very much enjoying so far #i didn't get Mr. Yosha himself or melty Zamasu (much to my personal sadness) but I did get a copy of Power-Awakening Piccolo #and enough of that PHY Zamasu with the tea set to rainbow him (and waaaay too many of a certain SR SSJ Goku that can awaken into SSG) #and a copy of that new Mai I guess (I'm not entirely sure how to use her properly in battle yet but I'll figure it out) #I've been calling that PHY Zamasu I mentioned 'Tea Time Zamasu' btw (mostly cuz of the tea set in his art) #oh yeah speaking of Tea Time Zamasu that man's been carrying my team in terms of eating hits like a champ so #definitely gonna be using him a lot; especially since *gestures to blog theme* he's one of my favorite villains in dragon ball #I haven't Dokkan Awakened the Piccolo at all yet (he's just a max level UR rn) but he's been pretty damn useful in taking hits himself #first unit I made an LR (besides the free one) was a Zamasu that turned into an LR Goku Black (F2P STR I think; he's my support unit rn) #I've also already collected all of Bardock's F2P crew and mostly maxed them out because I'm totally normal about it hehe #bardock's crew best crew I don't make the rules #goldic rambles #this is transparent because I couldn't figure out a decent background to give it

Okay before I go the bed (maybe) have some WIP DHMIS stuff, I suppose

#Yes I like Warren and the Work guy :pensive: I think they'd have a fun dynamic #Their ship name is businessmen to me <3 #I don't have human designs. And I probably never will. I prefer drawing them as they are ahshshs #I'm really trying to figure out how Red Guy and Duck would even kiss forgive how awkward it looks pls #It is half 5 in the morning. I have been kept awake by the cats I'm catsitting #I love them but God can they be a lil annoying sometimes #Fluffybird #DHMIS #dont hug me im scared #DHMIS Spoilers #Android.txt #Android Arts
