It’s been a while since I played an rpg and was completely enthused about all the companion characters…wrathfinder was very close but the size of the cast meant there was kind of an unequal level of attention given to some 😔

#talking about the core cast of companions/origin characters although I like halsin and ms jaheira too #if I had to pick the one I find the least interesting I’d have to say gale but that’s literally only bc I don’t have a good spot for him in #my party comp ever #he astarion and laezel are characters I didn’t expect to like nearly as much as I do #gale and astarion bc they’re the designated Favorite White Guys to ship yr small pretty girl ocs with #laezel bc she didn’t quite click for me from what I saw in EA #if I had to pick 3 favs…i don’t think I could. maybe shadowheart laezel and karlach..or wyll #good good characters in this one even if the plots hit or miss #text #alma’s liveblog tag #perso

so before pride month ends, i wanna present something that ive been thinking about for nearly 10 years now, which is around the time i first realized that i am a guy AND a girl! and i used to call myself bigender a lot more, and while it is still accurate, now i mostly opt for genderqueer as my main gender label, and there are several reasons for this but one of them is:

i really dislike every bigender flag that exists.

they tend to either lean too much into pink and blue, have unclear symbolism or just try to do too much. i wanted something simple, unique and with streamlined symbolism! so without further ado, i give to you:

new bigender flag proposal

black and white in the center represents duality. it is enveloped in turquoise which is a colour symbolizing unity and harmony. all together this is meant to represent two genders, two identities, two aspects; united within a single identity or individual.

the turquoise itself is the web colour dark turquoise, and from a practical perspective i chose that specific shade to better stand out from pastel blues which often represent masculinity. this is meant to be a flag to represent every way to be bigender, but it is very much based on what my gender feels like to me - i am open to suggestions, modifications, conversations about this! if you want to share or use it you dont have to credit me or anything, however i would very much appreciate sharing this and letting me know what you think!

OMG!!!! The groups that are going on peak time are so insane. Like how did they even pick whose on there cause you've got absolute nugus that literally no one has heard of but you've also got Atbo who are decently known to anyone keeping up with boy group debuts this year...I'm so looking forward to both the show and everything you've got to say on it!

like i NEED people to know the sheer insanity of the groups that are (currently) in the lineup. there is:

dkb - debuted 2020

ntx - debuted 2021

bae173 - debuted 2020

atbo - debuted 2022

ghost9 - debuted 2020

mont - debuted 2017

dgna - debuted 2010

vanner - debuted 2019

bdc - debuted 2020

24k - debuted 2012, but is on like their fifth lineup change and have none of the original members

blk - debuted 2017, DISBANDED 2018

masc - debuted 2016, DISBANDED 2020

in2it - debuted 2017

bxb - literally hasn't even debuted yet, but this is apr project aka all former trcng members and they debuted in 2017

and approximately TEN MORE THAT HAVENT BEEN ANNOUNCED YET

i truly think they pulled in every group that applied bc the spread is fucking crazy and how else could they have chosen TWENTY FOUR groups (at least that's my theory about the total since they're all assigned a time and the show's called peak time). i know the audition call was for bgs that struggled or debuted during the pandemic so i was expecting all the flops from 2019-2020 but dgna????? masc??????? literally any flop bg from any era is liable to show up on this show now

#blitzers is supposed to be rumored to be there also so there is literally going to be FOUR generations of bgs on this show #like the original concept of showcasing flops was already so good #but showcasing flops from literally every active generation?????? oh that's DELICIOUS #literally trying to guess who else is next is like randomly throwing a dart at the entire catalogue of bgs #ngl the only group on this list so far that i'm not familiar with is blk which is kind of insane #if it turns out that i know all the groups that are on the show i will laugh bc quite literally how am i this plugged into the flop-o-spher #text #answers #peak time #jtbc peak time

y'know, I'm about 1098475093740 years late to making the post where I grouse about it but I really have to say. you know those barbie & ken in prison memes?

why oh why do people always draw the ken looking straight at the camera and smiling smugly like "you think iron bars can stop me? ha!"??

the thing that makes the meme so good at its source is that the original Ken has no fucking idea what's going on. far as he's concerned he might as well just be doing a fun photobooth with his girlfriend even though people are being weirdly pushy about it. Barbie is the one who looks anxious and indignated not because she's the one who's not Above It All, but because she's the one who can tell that whatever's happenning to her right now isn't so whimsical -- at least, not without Ken's attitude, anyway.

"one of them is Dangerous, the other is Conventional" is just kind of yawn, seen it a million times -- whereas "one of them can tell what's wrong with this situation and the other is just unbreakably over the moon at all times" is what makes the meme worth memeing as far as I'm concerned

#my stupid text posts #now to be clear I haven't watched barbie the movie. and for that matter I haven't even watched the trailer that the meme comes from #but there's really nothing I picked up from osmosis that tells me I should expect Ken to be calm in that situation because he's dangerous #and not because he's just full of glee and/or dense #what I can say for sure is that he is not looking straight at the camera in the meme lmfao #anyway it's not that I think every fandom meme should skew as close as possible to replicating things instead of speaking to the characters #but this version of the dynamic is so everywhere it really just seems like people didn't quite get the memo on the original

Did you fully take that "both of them want to bottom" comic from popular furry artist skunkes or ????

I almost didnt want to answer this bc u got their whole government name out here without slashes; I dont want them to look up their own name and see this silly blog 😭😭

I think take is an AWFUL strong word where nothing is even remotely traced or copied 😭😭😭 I like their art alot and I when i was thinking about this specific scenario i was like ‘i am so sure someone did a comic w this exact vibe 🤔’ I love them but um. I do not think he owns the concept of ‘two men want to bottom and they are unable to communicate that easily’

#answered #chattin #i didnt want to like #tag them or their art! i dont want them linked back to me somehow 😭#i drew it for a discord and even put the link back to that lil mini comic in there!#its a silly untagged comic! for a silly ship in a silly fandom 😭#AND its like their oc content #they dont need to see this nonsense waugg..#ive followed them for years; this is like QUITE literally what happens when you absorb art like that almost nonstop #nothing is original; everyone is inspired etc etc #i guess it just sucks bc the ask is so accusatory but this is so common?#i literally reblogged art someone did where they used expressions i drew and i thought it was cute !#and the dialogue for their comic was very clearly ‘person a does not bottom EVER and is making an exception’#but like the text is literally text i always use; and the art is literally just sketches ive always done?#being like ‘hey this comic made me laugh ALOT and the layout would work well for what im thinking of’ and at most mimicking the vibe-#-of one character is not. taking a comic 😭😭😭#i may delete this (current post) just bc their name is in the ask but like #:(#its just mean. i make comics all the time and oc art in my free time #but i reference a silly lil comic and its like ‘! did u STEAL this did u TAKE it this person is POPULAR do u think ur slick ???!!!!’ like???#please unlearn the idea that inspiration = mimicry and that mimicry = theft #um #do not message me off anon again bc i will just delete it. i only posted this bc im sure others thought of the same artist #but unlike u; was not weird about it

My impression of how strongly Taylor felt about Harry Styles is VASTLY different after hearing the vault tracks

#i wonder if some of that isn't production #ngl it DID throw me a bit that the vault tracks are obviously produced by jack and the originals obviously are not #but for whatever reason #the original album always gave me the impression of the image she cultivated during the era:#shiny cool confident ny girl about town with her girlfriends #knowing that harry isn't ever going to pan out but jumping in anyways for the fun and excitement while it lasts #hoping for more but (if you'll excuse me) shaking it off when things inevitably finally fall apart #but the vault tracks peel back her confident exterior more and show just how BADLY she hoped for more #calling her mom for comfort?#pretending not to notice he's texting other girls but being utterly crushed?#reading into his new hair and aching to talk to him about it?#in most of the original tracks she sands away a lot of these vulnerable details #like she doesn't want him or us to see just HOW badly and HOW specifically he hurt her #but listening to the vault tracks my reaction was oh shit he really did break her heart #God bless i always thought harry styles was Not It #(as a bf #i do enjoy his music quite a bit though purely for the vibes)#but boy this guy is NOT IT #taylor swift #1989 (taylor's version)

crawls out of my cave to post an alternate Barbs design (based off of more info from the Teoi-hebi yokai + his in-game outfit!) 🐍

#my art #obey me #obey me barbatos #barbatos #om barbatos #obey me shall we date #omswd barbatos #omswd #barbatos obey me #barbatos om #was originally gonna give him a little garden snake wrapped around his arm but theres already sm going on here #i dont hate the canon design! but i was just kinda lookin at it like huh.#if it was up to me i'd have him showing skin on the side. but i felt like that didnt quite align with him as a character #thus he stays completely covered pretty much!#so reading up abt the teoi-hebi (even tho i couldnt find much into on it):-#its an interesting little story -w-#the themes of revenge and curses and fear were quite interesting tho #i just wish more of the original text on it was translated online #teoi hebi #so i tried to incorporate stuff like the spine... 'implied' blood on his sleeves... and since his purple nails are covered. he gets purple #beeds on his wrists instead.... and more gold sprinkled about the design #he originally had gold on his heels too? and an earring? but that felt like too much #bleh #and feel free to let me know if i have overstepped in some way in terms of the design? i am not above learning from potential mistakes

you seem to have a wide taste in books !! what are some books that you would recommend ??

Hmmm I wonder. I have the feeling I just read the same couple of books over and over, and at times only different iterations of the same story, like in that line by Borges ("the various intonations of a few metaphors").

I find recommending books without knowing anything at all about the person asking rather difficult. What I'd suggest to one may differ greatly from what I'd recommend to someone else. I'll give a list of some of my favourite books that I think are enjoyable in general:

— Thoughts by Pascal

— Cain: a mystery by Lord Byron

— The Iliad by Homer

— Crime and Punishment by Dostoievsky

— Othello by Shakespeare

— Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo

— Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand

— The fragments of the Presocratics

— La Regenta by Leopoldo Alas, Clarín

— Tractatus Logico-philosophicus by Wittgenstein

— East of Eden by John Steinbeck

— Vita nova by Dante

— Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers by Georg Cantor

— Caligula by Albert Camus

— North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

— Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie

— Some essays by Russell. I personally love Mysticism and Logic

— Metamorphoses by Ovid

Poetry is perhaps harder to recommend because at times it translates horribly, but in general I love Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Rilke, Byron, Quevedo, Góngora, Lope de Vega, Horace, Catullus, Ovid, Tennyson, Maiakovsky, Garcilaso de la Vega, Oliverio Girondo, Vicente Huidobro, Emily Brontë, T. S. Eliot, Luis Cernuda and Edgar Allan Poe, to name a few.

#I talk too much #I wanted to say The tragic sense of life by Unamuno and Philosophy and Poetry by María Zambrano #but I thought maybe they'd be hard to find in translation. They're both approachable texts of philosophy beautifully written though #Unamuno's essay Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho (translated as Our Lord Don Quixote in English according to Wikipedia?) is also beautiful #I adore Schopenhauer and Nietzsche but I'm not sure I'd recommend them to anyone. Probably you can't go wrong with Kierkegaard though #I know what some of these books look like (like Wittgenstein's Tractatus or Cantor's Foundations)#but I swear they're approachable without specific academic background. The last line of Wittgenstein's Tractatus is one of my favourite #lines ever in the history of anything‚ philosophy or literature‚ but to be as hitting as it is you need to reach it at the end of the book #I think despite what it looks like both Cantor and especially Wittgenstein have an aesthetic intent in their writing #Wittgenstein in particular reminds me of Kierkegaard and Rilke and also of Unamuno and Zambrano. And of course Schopenhauer et al.#The Tractatus is very similar in my opinion to Huidobro's Altazor which is just amazing but I don't know how it would translate #These books I like in form and not just in content (although form is content like I think happens in Wittgenstein's Tractatus)#so when possible I'd read them in their original languages.I myself can't read German and know but very little of Russian and Ancient Greek #and a bit of Latin so I must be missing a lot of those. Nonetheless they're great in what I can get through translation #Perhaps you'd have the chance of enjoying them in full #If you can't read Russian I am actually quite specific with the translation of Crime and Punishment haha There's a concept #Razumikhin develops through the book at several points and often translators aren't consister with the word which makes the readers lose #the view of this development. And I happen to think the development works alongside the narrative of Svidrigailov #and also with what happens towards the end with Porfiry and Raskolnikov so I think it's important #In English there are several translations that maintain the coherence such as the one by Pevear and Volokhonsky #(the only one I can remember right now but I could check the rest). Garnett's translation is everywhere but that one doesn't do it #Hmmm Pedro Páramo in English takes some liberties and La Regenta isn't as funny which is what happens with Wuthering Heights #and The three musketeers in translation even when the translations are more accurate #I haven't recommended Wuthering Heights because I take you've read it but that's my favourite book #And I haven't recommended Pandora Hearts because that's a manga and you asked for books but it does some very interesting things #that I think are in line with many of the books listed here (as I said‚ I basically like the same few things retold over and over haha)#There are many books I am itching to recommend but that I can't do freely without some knowledge of the person asking #Like Steinbeck's arthurian novel or idk Gone with the wind #I hope this list is enjoyable enough. I'm not sure if I've been able to avoid being too partial #I suppose one has to bear the conditions of their existence and can't ever entirely get rid of themselves haha

MASSIVE SPOILERS for Chapter 6 of the fanfic There Is Thunder In Our Hearts, Baby by @kaossbells!

🌀 Child of the Wind:

Eeeeeeee! I turned this scene into a mini comic!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

There was just so much to unpack from this moment. I was stuck on what to do for a long time, wondering which bit I should draw. Then I had the genius idea of turning it into a comic book styled format.

What do you think? 😊

#Finished these last night #It was close to midnight when I finished and I was really tired. So I put this post in the queue until the next day.#It’s been a while since I’ve done something like this #(I used to do this a lot with Mario characters at a young age. My interests were waaaay different compared to what they are now! 😬)#Again I improvised the look of Mark’s home. I made it look quite barren…😅#I obviously have no idea what it’s supposed to look like and I don’t want to find out. I’m not a snoop!#I also improvised the look of Mark’s shirt. The original text mentioned he was wearing a “scruffy U2 shirt”#I Googled U2 shirts and there were lots with the band’s faces on them #I’m rubbish at drawing realistic faces!#Then I stumbled across the iconic image of the Joshua Tree and decided to draw that instead #there is thunder in our hearts baby #kaossbells #TITIOHB fanart #martian #sebastian vettel #vettel #mark webber #webber #formula 1 #f1 #My art gallery #formula 1 fanart #f1 fanart #f1 fanfiction #f1 fanfic #formula 1 fanfiction #formula 1 fanfic #ao3 #archive of our own

I’ve been making memes for friends for years and decided I should share the ones I could easily find

#neo rambles #i feel like ive done this before but oh well if i have then this version is longer #all of the images came from a meme generator i take no credit for that. i just added text lol #the zelda one is great im so glad i found that #i think these really show phases from our lives #im not nearly as bad at getting out of caves and pits in terraria anymore though i do still struggle #my boy is no longer obsessed with super auto pets. although he did start playing again recently #suki doesnt really eat rocks anymore #i had a screenshot of the 'simple man' meme involving a menorah lighting but it was low resolution #i also have a captioned gif we use often but i dont feel right sharing that here since i didnt make the original gif #ive definitely made more i just dont know where the rest are #i know i made some league of legends ones but i no longer have access to that discord server channel #and i think i deleted quite a few memes just because an occasion to use them never occurred #neo makes memes #neo speaks #memes #i dont know the names of all of these memes lol #spongebob meme #draw 25 meme #the office meme #i should make more of these i enjoy these a lot #neo edits #photoset

Gosh I am so in love with the dating sim idea <33

Partially because I'm interested in computer programming and partially because, like, the ✨dynamics✨ man!!

The idea of Scriabin internally struggling between "I don't *hate* this person" and "This person trying to steal Edgar from me >:0" is just asdf-

What type of endings would there be?

Could you befriend one/both and not go as far as dating?

Could you date both?

Also love love love the UI concept art so much like the yarn-themed dialogue box and hearts system is so creative aaa

Sorry if this is a lot of questions just <333 going feral over this concept <33

Haha no no, no problem at all ♪ We’re both on the same page here, I love the design side of games, backend stuff is super fascinating to me ♫ Plus I just super love the idea of them in a Dating Sim ah ♥

It sounds like a whole heap’a your questions are answered in my first post in the Dating Sim tag :D

However, since I have The Most fun imagining what it’d be like to write/play a Vargas Dating Sim, I will take this opportunity to talk about it more lol:

As you can see in the Endings flow chart, yes, there are a bunch of different endings, all based on the ✨dynamics✨ that the Player pursues with each of the Vargases. In my current draft there’s not a way to date both exactly - at least, you can’t date both behind the other’s back, they will always be generally aware of the relationship status the other has with the Player, Scriabin moreso than Edgar, but Scriabin can’t help but gloat and they talk in their own scenes, so Edgar still knows. You can positively pursue both of them though, which leads to its own ending!

(You can keep both of them at ~5 ♥s and under, but that will still culminate in the Neutral Ending; at least one of them has to be at 7+ ♥s to get a different Positive ending; so, yes but no but also yes??)

You can also deepen your relationship with one over the other! Those, of course, lead to the Bad and Worst Endings, who could’ve guessed :3c Those are some of my favourites, because who’s “Bad” ending it is really depends on the perspective - the Bad (Edgar) Ending is one of Scriabin’s better Endings, as far as his manipulation and possessiveness is concerned. It’s definitely a Bad Ending for the Player tho lol

While the Best Ending doesn’t get as messed up as the Bad Endings (I mean - ideally lol), there is still definitely a lot of tumultuous emotions! They have to share the Player with each other, and each other with the Player, at least to better get to know each other! Scriabin isn’t the only one who feels possessive, even in routes where the player gets closer to Edgar there are still a lot of mixed feelings about being away from Scriabin, even as he starts to get more violent. They’re always weird about each other, they’re the ultimate package deal! 💕

#💟#Dating Sim #I am once again shouting my love to Zarla's original doodles that inspired me to think about this concept more #I cannot sing their praises high enough they are unparalleled in my heart ♪ Big inspire #Hopefully this answered most of your questions about the thought I've put into it at least haha ♪#I really do love talking about it I ended up infodumping to smol about it like a week ago because it's still floating in my mind #I jokingly summed it up as the Vargas Fuck/Marry/Kill game lol //#She also seemed really amused at the Best Ending haha ♥ It made me happy #I'm also very glad you like my UI designs! I like them quite a lot as well :D #I was a little sad because I didn't look over my notes very carefully for Requestober so I forgot the yarn trim on the text box itself :')#But it's mostly there so that's the important part ♪#It's just such a fun concept ahhh ♪♫
