#i thiiink i got all of them

[sinecosinewheel]

ok so here's a bloodborne post. every dream or nightmare in bloodborne needs two things:

1. a host/dreamer

2. a being to create the dream

in the nightmare frontier/nightmare of mensis the dreamer is micolash and the creator is mergo.

we know for sure the nameless moon presence made the hunter's dream, and the obvious conclusion is gehrman is the dreamer. my personal pet theory is the doll is a second dreamer, the real host of the dream, because you find her sleeping in the old abandoned workshop

when you end a dream you have to kill both the host of the dream and the creator, ex, killing micolash then mergo, killing (freeing) gehrman and then the moon presence

so here where i get a little confusing okkkkk. the doll is the reason the game loops. the purpose of the hunter's dream is to keep hunters alive, at least when they start out hunting. hunters can leave the dream, like eileen and djura, but can they really? they reset when you start new game plus. everything resets. you are able to end the nightmare of beasts by ending the mensis ritual, but micolash was already long dead and a skeleton when he 'woke up', meaning gehrman would be as well. the doll, however, would just go back to sleep. she has an immortal doll body, if she wakes up there is no actual consequence. in the childhoods beginning ending you become the new creator of the dream, and the doll is the host, so gehrman is unnecessary. in the ending where you replace gehrman you are replacing his role as the surrogate child of the moon presence/collateral, and the doll is the host. in yharnam sunrise you 'leave' the dream, but you can't actually leave. the only thing left is new game plus. there is no way to permanently kill the doll in the game, and you need to kill both the dreamer and the maker of the dream to end it

i believe the moon presence created something unintendedly bigger than herself with the dream, it's become an endless self powering cycle that resets the entire world instead of just keeping a few hunters alive. the great ones are sympathetic in spirit, but she didn't really understand what laurence (and associates) was asking for because she can never actually die. so now no one can ever die! N that's my post

#wheeltext #the creator of the hunters nightmare is kos and i thiiink the dreamer would be the orphan. kos is already 'dead' (as a great one can get) #n you put the orphan to rest #n then the nightmare ends #so yeah there are two effects of this type of deal #it creates a dream/nightmare (which stays even after the host and creator are killed) and it does Something #the Something of the mensis ritual was the beast plague/whatever the FUCK they did to yaharghul/the one reborn #n the Something of the hunters dream was the time loop/keeping hunters alive/providing aid to hunters/etc #n the Something of the hunters nightmare was dragging all hunters to actual hell when they go blood drunk #i believe the nature of the deal with the moon presence was to house the hunters #assist them keep them alive whatever they need #and she would get two things out of it #the first is a surrogate child in gehrman (he also works as collateral for the deal while laurenc n co worked for the mp's ends) #and the second is that the hunters would take out the competition and kill other great ones #hence the note Hunt the Great Ones. Hunt the Great Ones. in byrgenwerth #OH FUCK #ok so maybe the obscuring of rituals rom did yknow hiding the blood moon etc was a deal she made with willem #but it didnt create a dream it made the moonlit lake #rom could also be the dreamer maybe? bc she used to be human #idk im really just spitballing at this point if i got anything wrong or misremembered smth feel free to correct me #also sorry this is so long lmao

[sleepygaymerdisease]

i looked up playthroughs for some games i forgot existed and i was like "huh! well i remember hearing sooo much about the demos so what happened in the actual game? lets find out!" and i shouldnt have bothered. those games have been forgotten for a reason

#anis gaymer moments #i dont want to diss indie devs or anything but the games felt wonky and unfinished in a way that felt lazy? like how can you polish a game #so much and hype up fans and make merch and write books and everything. just for your actual horror game to be so nonsensical. #like. what happened to your artistic vision after that first demo got attention... idk! it ws just weird. mediocre. ill forget it all in #a few hours anyway. im not invested enough to point out plot holes or fix them or anything so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #also im not saying the games in these tags because i thiiink it would end up in search. and i do Not need to piss off fans LMAO

@pink088

Guuuuurl does it look like I missed the boops? XDD

(I DID miss the super boops and revenge boops tho. I was trashed on the couch and stuck on mobile all day so I wasn't able to send any back to anyone💔💔)

Uhhhmm... oh jeez lemme try to remember-- I'm assuming you mean the order I got everyone in the game..?? Cuz other than the goofy little comics I've been drawing there isn't much of a story beyond that-

Uhhh so I started with Midori(Sprigatito) obviously, thennn... I think I caught Grim(Gastly).. then I caught Gloria(Ralts). Thenn..... arrhrhhgh I thiiiink I went looking for eevees, but I found Anastasia(Shiny Kricketot) in the process and kept her. Then I picked one of the eevees I caught at random and kept him. Then lastly I found a Mareep(Bonnie) by surprise and kept her.

My memory is very poor but I thiiink that's mostly accurate <XDD If I misunderstood your question don't be afraid to send another ask! 😅

@pbjfox37147878

Sorry, I don't take requests.. But hey! You already got a solid concept going and some artistic talent, you can always make it yourself for free! :0

Not really.. I've had a surprising number of uncomfortable experiences with the fandom recently so I've decided to take a step back from Octonauts for a while..

@psype

:DD Thank you! I'm glad you like them! :}}

And yeah that's how I pictured her XDD its becuase I use her the most out of all my Pokémon-

Now she's not bossy and doesn't have a leader or "I'm better that you guys" complex, none of that! She's just very intelligent and usually very level headed and calm. I can imagine that she's gotten the team safely through a lot of complicated situations and her plans/advice have rarely led the group astray.

Plus since I use her so often, I like to think that she's one of the most powerful Pokémon on the team. If not the most powerful. So whenever the group was met with a great danger, Gloria was probably the one to rescue them <XD

So the whole group kind'a gravitates behind her and lets/wants her to take the lead most of the time. Especially when things get complicated or dangerous!

@nerdyskullcap (User in ask)

I took a peek at their blog, but I couldn't find any original art of the Conductor after quite a while of scrolling through that tag.. I only found reblogs of other peoples Conductor comics.. <:(

XD That description of Gloria is very fitting! I use her the most out of all my Pokémon and she rarely loses! XDD

This was a cool read, and hey! Some of my Pokémon have some of those attacks! :000 Gloria has draining kiss and Bonnie has discharge! :D

@cat7890

I'd like to think they've never fought before.. maybe some little bickering on a bad day, but never anything serious.

They have good communication and just generally get along really well and like a lot of the same things. So there's rarely conflict between them! :0

Thank you! I'm happy to hear that you like my artwork! :}}

As for your question.. I'm afraid I don't understand/cant explain it--

Lets say I wanna draw Mario. I imagine what the drawing might end up looking like in my head, what pose I'll draw him in and what colors I'll use.. And then I just.. draw it. It might not look exactly like what I pictured but its probably close enough.

If that doesn't answer your question, I'm afraid I either don't understand your question or this is just an art thing that I don't know how to explain. <:( Sorry, feel free to send another ask with more specifics if you have them!

@sleep-deprived-fr3ak

If Bill ever became a lawyer? All hope is lost XDD

@raven-bearden-the-interviewer42

I haven't really thought about the details of the crews travels and adventures.. but I'm sure that when Louis got cursed and became a crab monster? That was probably pretty memorable XD

Probably this one honestly <XD I cant think of anything more cursed off the top of my head-

@fawncr33k

I suppose that would be fine, but I wouldn't prefer it. As I've said many times,, just comments guys! Asks, reblogs, tags, how ever you type them. I just want comments.👍

@neo-metalscottic

No problem! Getting asks are usually a pick me up :}}

As for the Dry Bones thing, that's what I meant by "not sure how it fits into the AU yet" 😅 Who'd they fight? Why did they fight? When did this happen? No idea. Its all just a neat concept with no structure yet :// And beyond the awkward living situation with the Dry Bones today, I haven't really thought about how the Koopa culture has been changed by the war. That's just way too much thinking and I'm way too sick to bother trying to figure it out atm- 💀💔 But maybe someday I'll think it through!

Now Luigi, I had this idea that he had a bizarre encounter with a 1-UP and was later bitten by a Goomba. Over the span of say... 5 days or so..? Luigi slowly got weaker and weaker until eventually he became bedridden and actually died- He came back to life moments after but it still completely shook Mario and Luigi's worlds for a sec there-

I had intended to draw a comic about this, and I made a sketch about it in the past.. but around the time I thought of this idea my Mario phase was kind'a passing over so I didn't feel like making it- <XDD

As for a potential sequel, I would like to see Wario, Waluigi and Toadsworth. Not sure why Toadsworth wasn't in the first movie- he absolutely should have been. That deep voiced purple..? council..? toad guy?? Totally should have been Toadsworth :/

And my request for the Wario bros is that they are taken seriously. 😅🤣

@cherrycreamfairy

I'm doing okay so far today, thank you! :}

@littlelightfish

I haven't really figured out the details about how Tuna and Louis lost their limbs- 😅

But I'm considering that Louis lost his arm (I assume you meant his arm-) in some kind of work related accident a long time ago. It must have been a fishing accident somehow..

As for Tuna, either some kind of natural disaster/accident or.. someone "removed" them... O-O

I do not :/ I'm not even sure what homestuck is.. I thiiink its a webcomic-

@nemo-draco

Oooo! :00 It looks cool! :DD

And thank you, I'm hoping I get over this soon too 😅

[crushedsweets]

may we get some like random hc? i just like hearing them.

ok im so bored and have no ideas but i will talk and see what emerges. ok actually now that im done i wrote a lot LMFAO

natalie's hair was always really fucked up growing up. tangled, dirty, matted, etc - generally neglected. eventually her dad just gave her a shitty ass bob so they wouldnt have to deal with it anymore, which grew into a shag that she wore throughout highschool. after highschool, she never cuts her hair. she doesn't take GREAT care of it, but she keeps it brushed - never wants to deal with matted hair again

natalie also kept the literal clock in her eye until she was about 22. she wore a medical eyepatch when at work and made up some health excuse, but she EVENTUALLY got an actual prosthetic eye when she was around 25. . . and it is in fact clock designed. but its more comfortable and less risk of infection

after the whole nina leaving jeff fiasco, jane realizes how much her job (private investigator) has been impacting her health. she begins getting teaching credentials to be a college professor. mary, her wife, teaches elementary school. they compliment each other nicely

jane also began dipping into some gothic looks after meeting nina. at first, it was because she was playing undercover (paid by Liu) to figure out what Nina's deal with jeff was - so she knew nina was in alternative crowds, and tried to dress the part. then she started to get into the silhouettes and lace and jewelry and whatnot. but she still is usually just in classic, simple dresses and jewelry

natalie, toby, and nina all smoke weed. natalie is the worst of them. kate gets super paranoid when she's high, and jack just doesn't like it. all of them drink though, usually when they hang out at the proxy cabin, toby will open a 6 pack and they'll chat or something.

nina would cut a very shallow smile into her cheeks basically every week from ages 17-22. it was just the first layer of skin and would bubble up some blood, but it was never that severe. the skin on someones face heals really well, BUT nina did it so often, it's permanently scarred. she uses makeup to cover it

nina gets a motorcycle after she leaves jeff!!!! it's her easiest way of getting to and from her friends in the woods, and she thinks she looks super badass. she's got it wrapped in pink and has a pink helmet and everything. clocky n kate have been her backpack a few times. toby refuses to try, and jacks too big.

BEN, Jack, and Jeff all frequent the dark web.

since I know it doesn't make sense for all of them to even have wifi in the woods, I THIIINK i'm just gonna chalk it up to BEN's presence. he is a wifi tower. or something like that. when he's off and away(which is rare), they all lose signal and r pissy about it.

nina goes to raves. frequently.

when kate is finally getting pushed to get away from slendy (since O/S are both getting weaker and starting to fall back into hibernation), she gets a job at a morgue. night shift, quiet, private, used to everything, etcccc etc etc

Hey howdy! Did you ever get to choose which Pokémon showed up in backgrounds or incidentally in Path to the Peak or was that all decided elsewhere? :00

we as the board artists got to choose for the most part! i thiiink the only ones that were set were oddish, mismagius and falinks. some of them had to be changed just cuz it'd be too many different assets for the 3D artists to have to make. it'd be a waste of time to make a whole new asset for a 2 sec clip hahaha

my proudest pick was groudon! the script just called for a strong pokemon so i went through a bunch of tcg fighting types. iirc i was going between groudon, zygarde, terrakion and landorus

[pix3lplays]

A GN!Reader who’s oddly calm about everything even injuries? :0

Like they could be bleeding from their head but they just look at their S/O (HSR Men) and talk casually acting like everything’s fine.

If you don’t mind I’m curious what you think all the HSR men would think :)

I don’t mind at all! And I appreciate the politeness :)

I thiiink I got all of them…let me know if I missed anyone haha

Tw! Blood

-Honkai Star Rail men reacting to a reader who’s oddly calm-

Caelus: Caelus is Very Similar actually. He could be missing a body part and he’d just be like: oh hey! (Ok maybe a slight exaggeration but you get the idea) so he’s chill with you just…casually talking to him while you’re bleeding from the head. He might suggest you go see a doctor, but only if you’re on the verge of collapse or something.

Welt Yang: You’re giving this poor old man Anxiety! He doesn’t know WHAT to do or say to you when you come up to him with a massive injury with the intent of having a casual conversation. He’s very much a Go See a Doctor right NOW (even if it’s Luocha lol) kind of guy.

Luka: Luka’s a cage fighter so. He gets it. You can both hold a completely normal conversation while bleeding from the head. I guess you both have a really high pain tolerance. Huh. (Luka’s so cute oh my gosh he makes me lose my MIND)

Blade: Blade isn’t bothered by you walking up to him bleeding profusely from your side with the intent of just saying hi to him. That’s your business, not his. He’s fine with whatever you want to do. Just don’t collapse mid conversation with him otherwise he’ll get annoyed haha…

Luocha: Luocha is also getting ANXIETY from you. He frantically slams his healing abilities on you when he sees you injured, asking how you can possibly be so casual over so grievous a wound. You respond with a shrug. You’re going to make this man die young oh my gosh.

Sampo Koski: Sampo Koski has a pretty low pain tolerance, so his initial reaction when he sees you drenched in your own blood while walking over to him is to respond with a low, impressed whistle hahaha…he’s mostly just impressed. Then he recommends you go see Natasha haha…

Gepard Landau: Gepard Landau has a Very High pain tolerance, so while he’s a bit of a hypocrite, being the exact same way as you but never doing anything about it, he strongly recommends you go see a doctor when you get injured.

Dan Heng: Dan Heng also has a high pain tolerance, but it Worries him to see you bleeding and so casual about it. It’s your life but he’d still calmly recommend you go see a doctor.

Jing Yuan: You don’t know what Jing Yuan’s pain tolerance is, but it’s probably pretty high. He sees you covered in blood, and once he tells you’re fine, he can’t help but laugh and call you amazing.

sprites! (extra info under the cut)

Hi. Something so very cool and awesome about working with sprites is you always. underestimate how many you're gonna need.

The final intent was to have them all just mouth open / mouth close talk, like the 3d models do in-game, with the Gordon sprite being the only emoting one. Benry breaks the rule a little, namely cause his monologue is so so long it needed a bit of visual variation, and well, i guess it kind of tracks.

… that said, in the early early days, Gordon was going to just have the HEV suit helmet as his sprite, i was excited about that cause it meant I wouldnt have to do expressions for him.. but .. that thing looks weird scary so I dropped it pretty quickly, def for the better.

There are a couple up there that got cut. Benny's smile and kinda regretful looking one, used when making fun of Gordon and talking about ps+ respectively, but i thiiink it kinda felt better to keep him as neutral as possible.

maybe you're wondering why there's 1/2 a benny up there. he almost made it into the game. Before I had the big scary guy done, i was really attached to his placeholder, but at that point i wanted to keep up the "fake serious" vibe, or.. yknow as fake serious as you can be talking about hev slips..

Ok! thats all i had. i've also got some 3d models that ive been meaning to release into the wild for some time now… the ones from the ending sequence in particular, so keep a look out for em.

Ohh, and I guess as a general note, if you'd wanna use any of these posted assets for anything (non monetized ofc), then you can

How do you feel about LO fans reading Rekindled? I mean, I know Rekindled wasn't created only for the critical side of the fandom to read, but have you ever had LO fans that read Rekindled coming at you because of your anti lo posts?

Honestly, I find I don't get that much harassment for it here, which has been great. One of the most common criticisms I get are accusations that I'm "riding off Rachel's coattails", but considering I'm making this comic entirely from the ground up, for free, in a way that fuses my style with Rachel's (which means it's still fairly distinguishable from LO) technically I'm harming Rachel's bottom line far less than the legitimate fans who draw Rachel's style 1:1 and sell adoptables and commissions LMAO (and that's not to be accusatory, I think it's neat that there are artists who can replicate it that well, but idk why people get mad at me for doing literally the same thing and I'm not even profiting off it lol it's literally just because I'm a critic and not a diehard fan). And if I didn't genuinely enjoy working on this project beyond getting fake internet points, then I would have dropped it from the starting gun, I'm not good at committing myself to new projects (yaaay ADHD).

I think it helps that I (intentionally) don't use the general LO hashtags, I try to stay away from using any fan-focused hashtags because ultimately the work I do isn't necessarily going to be meant for them and I don't want it getting recommended to them if that's not the kind of thing they wanna see. Of course, that won't stop fans from finding it, but if they're getting recommended stuff from the anti community, then chances are it's because they've already been lurking in it. If a fan of LO finds my work, they're more than free to read it and if they enjoy it, great! I was a fan once too, the comic itself isn't so much for the anti's and "haters" as much as it is for people like me who used to adore this comic and wanted more than what we got.

Considering LO is going to be ending by mid next year, Rekindled will very likely be going on long after it, so who knows, it might even become a new favorite for fans who want more LO-style H x P content. Of course, it'll come with all the layers of salt that come loaded with my content, but that's what we have the Dillyhub mirror for now ;)

I find I tend to get more pushback on Instagram and I can only assume it's because IG's recommendation algorithms work a little differently. I thiiink IG might be suggesting accounts that are followed by other accounts (so through mutuals) so if a fan is following the same people I am (ex. editolympus is one I can think of off the top of my head), regardless of whether or not those accounts use the same hashtags I do, I get recommended to them. I imagine it's a pain for people who don't want to be seeing my content but they can take their own advice for once - don't like it, don't read it (￣y▽,￣)���

[anonymous-dentist]

i haven’t even able to catch any of roier’s streams from last week, how was pepito acting ooc? the character itself was different? i heard that two different admins are playing it.

Okay, so Pepito's og admin spent a few days not playing Pepito due to I thiiink computer issues? And that's fine, I don't care about that, eggs' admins fill in for each other all the time.

The thing about Pepito, though is that he was lowkey super weird last night? Like, he was depressed, yeah, just like he was on the first day, but the thing about that is that Pepito on the first day more or less cheered right up the second she met Roier for the first time. Before that, he spent over an hour moping around over his parents not being there, but he was just fine when Roier arrived.

Pepito then spent the next few days hanging around Roier and trying to get him to love her, and like? It was almost working! You can see that it was working by watching Roier's stream last night, actually, because he's attached to his Pepito, the one who loves him. He spent the whole night like "Man, Pepito's been possessed. Pepito isn't my Pepito, they're Otipep". Like Pepito legit logged off the night before like "omg I have this chest full of things for my dad!" and then Pepito got online last night and proceeded to be the complete opposite of how he's been basically since day one: moping around, saying that Roier doesn't love him, saying that he's forever alone, and not remotely yes-and-ing anything cc!Roier tried doing.

At one point, qRoier just kinda. Gave up. Because he tried hanging out with Pepito, actually, but Pepito just kept leaving him and telling him to go away, and it got to the point where Pepito legit just wandered off to apparently set up his bed in the middle of spawn. So Roier went down into his basement to build, and he had that big huge speech about how nothing's real and that he knows that Pepito isn't real because his "programming" changed so suddenly and he became someone that isn't Roier's Pepito, and that was a really good improv moment from ccRoier tbh working off of the (probably accidental) lack of communication between Pepito's two admins

It's just kinda weird to see this big of a discrepancy between egg admins regarding egg characterization because you normally can't tell the difference between admins when they're replacing each other, yk? Or, when there is a difference, the cc usually makes some funny little jokes about it that the egg suffers over jokingly. But last night was just. Weird. Because Pepito's admin didn't roll with nearly anything Roier tried throwing at them and it kinda just felt a little awkward considering the character we've been dealing with for the past couple of days.

Idk man, it was just. Weird?

Does Toby's mom treat everyone as if they are her own? Also where is your Toby's mom from?

Toby's mom

I thiiink I headcanoned Toby being from Minnesota, USA.

But over all Toby likes to brag about his german roots despite only know the curse words that Slender mutters under his breath.

While Toby's mom is still alive unlike many other of the manor's parental figures, Toby is not allowed to let her know that he's alive.

It would detrimentally mess her up, knowing her son not only killed one person and lit the neighborhood up with arson, but now he does it for a living alongside many other mentally unstable individuals.

It would also wreck her not knowing if he was or wasn't alive during dark periods of missions where he's not allowed contact with anyone besides Slender.

But Toby does visit her secretly, not face to face, but he looks upon her new life from the bushes. He makes sure her new husband is treating her well, and the kids are always tucked in good night from his spot in the trees.

He cries often when he peeks in on her life, watching her smile and laugh unlike the latest years that he saw her.

No one in the manor knows of her personally, Toby mentions her in stories once in a while as he does Lyra, but no one ever presses about either of them, knowing it's sensitive.

But one day he got closer than he should have, on accident of course.

__

He visits Lyra's grave often, and he brings snacks and likes to talk to her about his life since the last time he visited.

It happened to be Lyra's birthday, and Toby's mom was visiting as well.

Toby was sitting and eating animal crackers, completely caught off guard when footsteps started approaching. He put up his hood just in time to hide his identity.

His mom came up and stood right beside him, and Toby was frozen, locked eyes with that little dash between the dates of Lyra's life on the headstone.

"How'd you know her?"

And Toby's heart just...shattered on the spot. He could've broke down, could have yanked down his hood and sobbed into his mom's arms, could just ran away.

But he didn't.

"She helped me a lot in school."

"Hah, yeah, that definitely sounds like her. Lyra was my daughter. She was a beautiful thing, inside and out."

Toby simply nodded. A moment of silence passed and she fixed a faux flower in the vase.

"They say it gets less painful as time goes on...but a parent should never have to bury their child." She sighed, glancing over at the hooded stranger, "Life doesn't stop hurting, hun. You just have to learn to deal with it and continue on with a smile."

Toby quietly started crying at this point, barely holding in his sobs. But alas, he nodded along.

"My son, he was born with a condition where he couldn't feel pain. But I could tell he was hurting. Inside." She shook her head, and sighed away the negative thoughts clouding her head.

"I wish you the best, sir, I'm sure that Lyra would be happy you're here to visit on her birthday."

He nodded again, not able to get any words past his lips.

He sighed heavily once she left, and was finally allowed to break down at the foot on her grave, wailing into the dirt.

The only pain he knows is a broken a heart.

[greatwesternway]

🔥 a character the fandom is loving wrong

Not to be all "I'm the best at Duck" about it, but frankly I am.

A thing I see a lot of people do with him is focus on his rigidity. That is, his unwavering devotion to the Great Western Way. And by extension, I think a lot people relate to this and project that Duck's comfort zone lies in strict adherence to schedules and routes and plans and all of those things being immutable and unchanging.

But the thing is, Duck's not actually rigid that way at all. A TTTE character who more aptly fits that description is Bruno, from the reboot series. (Which, I've only seen two episodes of thus far, but it gets the same kinda heat the CGI does so I am looking at haters askance the same way...)

Duck's quite willing to yield to new ideas and shift to new plans. Like, "School of Duck" is pretty much about this idea that Duck can be given one task and spend his time trying to accomplish it, only to switch to a better and more efficient plan when presented with one or when one occurs to him. A truly rigid character would never have thought of turning Dexter into a temporary schoolhouse because a truly rigid character wouldn't think outside and beyond the given perimeters of the task at hand.

And in "The Thomas Way", he acquiesces to Thomas heading up the train, even though Hatt's order was for Duck to, once he knows Thomas isn't bullshitting him again. It wasn't that Thomas wanted to deviate from the plan originally that Duck was so against; it's that the deviation was just Thomas wanting to fuck around while Harold was in disrepair. Once Thomas was leading the way with the purpose of avoiding bridges and tunnels, which is in line with the Great Western way of delivering Harold directly and promptly to the Search and Rescue, they probably ended up doing all kindsa incidental sightseeing.

The premise of "The Thomas Way" itself is that the day's plans have changed unexpectedly. Duck was surely supposed to be doing something else when he was asked to report to Callan Castle. He is not bothered a bit by this change in plans though; indeed, he's even reassuring Harold that everything will be set right shortly.

The reason Duck is so up and on about the Great Western Way is simply that his old railway worked out how shit should be done most efficiently and to do it any other way is just to waste of time reinventing wheels. In that regard, Duck's very flexible so long as the overarching Way is being observed.

Also, speaking of wasting time, I sometimes see Duck as being characterized chronically late for things and rushing about. I thiiink this comes from the line "Duck liked to bustle about", which does not mean he's harriedly scurrying about all the time, but that he likes to be busy and do his work at a lively 45 mph clip. I don't think Duck's ever rushed anywhere outside of "A Clean Shave". This is a guy who's got his shit on lock; he literally knows exactly when all his trains are leaving the station and how long they'll take to arrive and how much time in between jobs that he has to chill in the shed telling Henry about all the tenders he's accumulated (and how many tenders that is and also casually allotting time in his schedule to make sure they're shunted and coupled up for Henry when he arrives that evening to collect them).

Duck's never late for anything unless he runs himself into a puddle.

I wrote this in August but only just found a chapter to put it in, have I posted this before? I'm gonna post it now.

####

Ford could hear Mabel in the living room: "Checkmate! You owe me a soda."

"That's what yooou thiiink," Bill said, voice sing-song. "Congratulations on cornering my king's body double."

"Aw, man! I hate when you do that."

"Good luck finding him amongst all my pawns!"

Ford leaned into the living room to see what they were up to.

They were sitting at the table, playing chess. He recognized some of Mabel's "fairy chess" pieces on the board. They were obviously well into their current game; each had claimed about half the other's pieces.

Mabel waved. "Good morning, Grunkle Ford!"

"Good morning." He nodded toward Bill with a disapproving frown. "You do know he cheats, right?"

Mabel gushed, "I know! It's so fun!"

"She's a worse cheat than I am," Bill announced proudly.

"It's not cheating when I do it, I'm a senator!" Mabel leaned across the table, snatched the top hat off Bill's head, and proudly set it on her own. "I can legalize anything I want!"

"Well oh-kay, Miss Senator." Bill stole the hat back. "We're still monarchists on this side of the board."

Ford took a few steps closer to inspect their game more closely. "Why are there sandwich cookies on the chessboard?"

Bill said, "Mabel's got the knights all cozy in the horse stable," he pointed at the "nest" Mabel had made by folding the bottom of her sweater up, "so I'm trying to coax mine back out with delicious treats."

"It'll never work!" Mabel crowed. "The horses are too cozy!"

"I'll get them eventually! Even the loneliest monkey goes to Wire Mother to feed!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Ford said, "He's referring to an important psychology experiment where baby monkeys were..." He caught sight of Bill's face, looking right at him and grinning oh so brightly, and mumbled, "Never mind."

23 ASK! THANK YOU VER MUCH!! :DD🦆

No problem! And when it comes to showing your support? The absolute best way that will make me the most happy is comments.

It doesn't have to be a reblog or an ask like this one. Although it can be. It doesn't have to be a thought out comment complimenting a specific thing in the art piece.

Comments like "I love this!" or "💖💖💖!!" or things like "AKSKAJNCSDJNKVJN" or even "EATING THIS ART RN" are wonderful. You could leave the same generic comment on all of my artwork and flood my notifications, and I would still love and appreciate that more than getting fanart and ending up uncomfortable.

It doesn't have to be thought out, it doesn't have to be on every piece. But if you want more art from me? Remember that the #1 thing I look forward to when I post art, is reading the comments.

Now make no mistake! Foxy IS basically the big brother out of the 6. When it comes to his personality and his relations with the other animatronics.. he was always seen as the cool older brother that always knew what to do and how to cheer you up.

Foxy just gets picked on for being the "little brother" becuase he is shorter and significantly lighter than everyone else. So even little Chica was strong enough to pick him up and swing him around XDD

Also I have no idea how old the animatronics would be.. 💔 I just imagine that Foxy would be one of, if not the oldest!

(Post in question)

Well of course! Cici is indeed also the little creature of all time! The mic was just simply not offered to her- <XDD

@tallchest13-blog

AWWW!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH 😭😭😭💖🥺💖😭😭

@neo-metalscottic

oooo!! :00 Noted! Thank you very much for the info!! :DD

:DDDD PAPYRUS BEST FRIEND!!

I have not seen the new chapter, no.. :(

@taizarack

aaaa I don't know! <:0 I've never played the games so I'm unfamiliar with those characters. Are they well known characters..? Are they evil? Are they friendly? I assume if they're not a threat my crew would be cordial with them..? <:D aaa idk! Sorry!-- (Though speaking of squid ink cookie I have drawn that one before..👀👀)

As for Papyrus, here is the initial post about him that I made.

Then at the bottom of this ask post there's a chunk of important Papyrus lore..

There's another chunk of very important Papyrus lore in this ask post..

There's a couple nuggets of good lore in this post as well..

Then there's this post I made about Frisk finding Papyrus :00

And a few Papyrus nuggets sprinkled in here! Not to mention I discuss more of his story further down in this post! This is all the info I could find on poor Papyrus, I hope this was helpful! :}

@lildiaperboyjake

XD I'm glad you like him! And I'm sure he wouldn't mind a hug! Unlike the canon version, my Funtime Freddy is actually safe to hug!.. For now-

@astahertheelf

:DD Thank you so much!! :}}

As for all the Bibi stuff. You can find everything about him or the rest of the fam under the "#bibi" tag or the "#factual fam" tag on my blog. There's also the "#my ocs" tag and the "#my original stuff" tag :0 though I don't think the latter has much attached to it-

I've been meaning to make a master post for all the Bibi/factual fam stuff but I don't have the headspace to do all that atm-

I thiiink you can eat them?? Probably yeah. I think the lore from the games is that they are literally, actually, living cookies. And they probably taste like the thing they're based on.

Soooo the only one that would taste good is Coconut XDD

XD She is very proud of him

@sparkdrawsstuff

Its all extremely vague, but I kiiind'a have an idea..??

Seafoam and Octo obviously met as little kids. They grew up side by side and when Foam wanted to get a ship and become a pirate? Octo followed him and became his first mate.

At somepoint after they picked up Ellie and Louis. Thiiinking that they knew Ellie before they got the ship and she joined them..? Not sure about Louis..

Now when it was just the four of them. They got caught in a great storm while out at sea. Blue Beauty saw this ship clearly struggling and in danger so she helped guide the ship to calmer waters. It was her help alone that prevented the ship from sinking. She probably secretly followed them around for a while before making herself more known and officially joining the crew.

Uhhhh Pinwheel, Coconut and Tuna were all troubled youths that were taken under Seafoam's/Octo's wing. Not really sure about Spider Crab..? But I'm thinking that he's the medic of the crew. Also not so sure about Cuddle or Urchin.. Though I'm thinking that this isn't Cuddles first rodeo. She could be an experienced pirate that somehow indebted herself to Seafoam..? Maybe once she paid her debt she stuck with the crew because they were neat? Though she seems like the crafty type.. She seems like she'd rather slip away undetected instead of staying to faithfully clear her debts.. Not sure about that one--

And Red is Seafoam's great nephew. He lost his mother/crew in some kind of tragedy which resulted in Seafoam taking him in.. Poor Red :((

XD I did something similar once-

The Afton's do exist. All of them. They are a core part of the AU. :00 Just like in canon! But as for their roles or where they are now or what happened to them... alas, I cannot reveal such things.. :(

As for the Sister Location AU tho--- I'm thinking that William Afton is alive and well and he runs the Circus.. 👀👀👀

Oh man, she dreams of doing so. But Sadly, she is much too large to give him a kiss :(

Unless.. 🤔 If Seafoam somehow grew or she shrank? hmm..

(Post in question)

Yeah, its was interesting.. but not for the reasons you'd think.

Papyrus recognized Seam and Jevil. He addressed them by name. He didn't approach them, seeing as Seam was very tense..

He said that he was happy to see them again. Explained how he worried about them, and was glad to see that they were both ok.

Seam and Jevil both looked like a deer caught in the headlights. If Jevil had the strength to do so, he might have just retreated with a mirror..

Sensing all this, Frisk tells the group Papyrus' story. Some of the group is skeptical, for the same reasons Seam was all that time ago.

But Frisk grantees the group that Papyrus is genuine. She says she has never met a kinder soul before. That no matter what timeline she may choose, genocide, pacifist, neutral.. Papyrus was always full of kindness to his very core. And that she believes his story 100%.

Grillby and River Person back this up. Saying that the Papyrus from their worlds was a very kind soul too..

Jevil is too exhausted to really process this much. But the horror of the situation settles on Seam. Realizing that Papyrus was actually a victim. They had the power to free him all those years ago. And they ran..

Its not addressed right away.. but eventually its brought up again. They both feel horrible for what they did. Leaving him to suffer alone for so many years..

But of course,, Papyrus's kindness never ends. It never broke or faltered after all this time. He forgives them. With all his soul he forgives them. He says he was never angry at them, he fully understands now why they left and he does not blame them. He's just glad to see that they're ok. And he's happy that he's not alone anymore. :}

@solst1ce-sketches

AAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD

@csdumpster

I'm not sure if he has Polar Madness.. correct me if I misunderstood, but Google seems to say that Polar Madness is mostly about being sick of the people around you. Being with the same people for months would drive anyone crazy and make them super irritable.

It also talks about developing sleep disorders due to the strange night and day cycle. It mentions anger and depression too..

I'm thinking that the main two issues, sleep and irritability towards coworkers, aren't a problem for Natquik. For 1 he doesn't have any coworkers- but also he's an Arctic fox! He grew up in the Arctic. These strange night and day cycles are nothing new to him, in fact he was designed to live with these cycles! So I think he's safe there.

Now the depression part.. due to the extreme loneliness he must have felt eventually.. that could be a problem. But hey at least my version of Natquik has Marsh and Jack to keep him company XD

..oh wait, the Everglades. I wonder if Natquick would develop some kind of.. Florida Madness trying to deal with those different night cycles and living with those two morons for weeks XDD

(Post in question)

OH YEAH!! I can totally see it! XDD

(Sorry for the late reply! I am unwell-😢)

Aww, 🥺Perhaps they do. They're all doomed 💖

(Sorry for the very late reply, things really got away from me-)

I'd like to imagine the 5 of us all sitting down and I spawn/draw in a bunch of food for everyone to try and pick their favorite.

Bibi picks chicken nuggets. Jangles picks bowtie pasta with cheese cubes and Miracle whip. Every time Cici tastes something new she claims its her favorite, so she hasn't really figured it out yet- maybe strawberries??

Gerald's favorite is celery. Mind you I did not draw any celery, and he has never tasted it before. But he has a very strong feeling that it is surly his favorite.

#id just in alt text bcos my rambling p functionally describes it

[realpokemon]

So like, can I ask what you do for a living? You seem super knowledgeable on all sorts of pokemon!

i've been working at a pokémon adoption agency for around 10-12 years now, and we tend to get a Lot of variation in the guys that come through here. a lot of them are breedjects, abandoned pokémon, pokémon from dead trainers, etc. we're like semi-well funded and theres not a lot of competition, so ive worked with caring for a LOT of kinds of pokémon.

once we had a full hydreigon come through here and that crazy bitch broke my arm (very terribly socialized, poor thing). i was in the hospital when she got adopted but i thiiink she headed off to some dragon gym out-of-region
