#i will do it if theres any interest though

[cattocavo]

Six sentence sunday!

It’s not sunday anymore but I’m just gonna ignore that because i didn’t have any time yesterday to write this post but I do have something to share!

Thank you @monbons and @thewholelemon for tagging me!!

Some days ago i picked up this old wip for an instagram reel. I started the first frame in February, so don’t expect it to be done anytime soon😭

The reel is gonna be in a cartoon style, because even though I’m not used to drawing cartoon, it’s still quicker than drawing realistic.

Heres the first frame:

Aaaannd heres the second frame, the one I’ve been working on recently:

For those wondering: Fionas drinking an entire pot of coffee like the maniac that she is.

Fyi the backgrounds aren’t finished yet

And for the few who are interested in my art in general, even something thats non simon snow related, theres some bonus content under the cut :D

This is a sketch of my oc whispering concepts to her keen eared statue. The hushed words shall start a revolution >:)))

hihi! do you possibly have any recs for media with girl robots? (glados portal and elster signalis are about all ik and i need to broaden my horizons)

THE FALL PART 1!!! I adore ARID. That one is a short puzzle game where you play as an autonomous combat suit, who’s operator is unconscious and dying. So she’s taken complete control of the body, and jumping through hoops and breaking rules to get him medical attention. She’s a very interesting character. Theres also a part 2, which I enjoy but forgot to finish

Sea of Rust by Robert Cargill is another one with a girl robot protagonist. She’s a scavenger in a post apocalyptic, post robot uprising wasteland, trying to get parts to repair herself. Its very very good. Big fan.

Entropy Centre is a portal-like gimmick puzzle game, where your tool gun has an onboard ai assistant, named Astra. She’s kind of one note, and always chipper and upbeat, but she’s very cute and also gay

I Am Mother is a movie (on netflix iirc) about an ai raising the next generation of humanity after an apocalypse, and follows her relationship with her, and her daughter, until someone else shows up at their bunker, and proves to the daughter that Mother is wrong about the extinction of humanity, and the inhospitability of the surface. Pretty decent movie! I have a liiiittle bit of beef with it though because I think it has some unsubtle bad opinions about abortion and the obligation of motherhood.

Vast Horizon is a podcast I’m still in the process of listening to, but as of season 2, its really really good. Following a human waking up on an abandoned, damaged spaceship, with no one but the onboard ship ai to help her. And while the ship ai genuinely cares about her friend’s well being, she is limited by her failing systems, and the many rules imposed upon her.

Aaaaand I still havent played them but I feel obligated to nudge System Shock at you. Shodan is one of the legendary girl ais.

This is all I can think of currently, but I’ll rb this later if I think of more, but I’m trying to only include ones who spend a lot of time with the girl robot

how do you handle genetics if you do at all in your art

Great question! I'm actually quite the cats genetics nerd and typically when I design my own cat ocs, I go for accurate, realistic genetics. Genetics in ClanGen don't _quiiite_ work that way though, and since I like staying pretty close to the in game sprite's patterns, I'm forced to do the genetics for SporeClan with body/fur shape only.

Since we don't have any SporeClan cats with two in game generated parents as of yet, I made a brand new clan and picked a family from there! I usually try to take a mix of traits from both parents, or go somewhere in between. These two parents here are pretty different, so combined with their already wildly different coat patterns, the siblings look pretty different from eachother. I hope you can still see what I'm trying to portray, though!

One of my FAVOURITE things to do when designing families is giving some of them a unique trait, like the fully pink nose Aphidpeak has passed on to Bubblingspeck, or the full back stripe that both Softrock and Jellyfishfeather inherited from Cypressplume. Also, when cats have parents that are agouti(ticked)/bengal but doesn't inherit the pattern, I still like to include things like the dark feet. I also do this sometimes with white spotting, such as the rings on Softrock's tail.

LASTLY, I do sometimes mess with how I portray the patterning.

Usually when I draw most patterns, I'll draw their underbelly colours with my regular brush, giving them harder lines. But with Softrock, I opted to airbrush in her lighter underbelly, a thing I usually only do with agouti cats, as a nod to her parents. I'll also often mess with just how much the lighter colour goes up (for example, Mousegrove and all her kits have a high amount of the lighter colour, while Dawnpelt and Minklake have barely any)

Anyways, I think that's all.... it's all I can come up with for now, at least :') Hope my ramblings are at least somewhat coherent!

#you all have no idea how much i wanted to instantly burst into tears when i saw jellyfishfeather for the first time #looks EXACTLY like one of my irl cats <3<3<3<3<3 #got extremely attached to him so i want everyone to know he turned out to be transmasc and also became jellyfishstar <3<3<3 #chitchat #ask #i had another family and then a kit from this and that one had kits and i wanted to draw them all for Ultimate Examples Gallore #but i am simply too busy right now to do that :[ sad....... #i will do it if theres any interest though

Make up talk has been so O_O lately from "so happy i was born a girl bc i can wear make up wearing make up is the best part of being a girl" to "i didnt wear make up as a teen in order to be #feminist now im 23 and behind on make up skills I should've been honing since I was 10 and now idk how to do anything and i feel so ugly and unfeminine and I dont even want to go outside because I feel like I'm being ridiculed for not knowing how to apply make up :(" do u hear yourselves

#this is coming from someone who has never worn it but wants to play with it after I transition #but in the fun artsy face paint looks way #like obviously theres no issue if u enjoy it the issue is. the above mention where ppl feel theyre missing out without it #or not a woman bc of it #it SHOULD be a fun hobby bc if you look at it thru alien lems i LOVE that humans paint their faces! #*lens #not a societal expectation though. heart. #im self conches about everything else idk how i managed to just not be interested in any way at all as a child but im grateful because Wow #not in the Im Better way but if i think abt it it is weird that girls were doing that in middle school #talkys

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series

#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners #(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as #cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point) #grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are “its been amazing.” #to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed. #and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight #plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends #ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst #that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings #and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions #the characters take and so im happy to bring it up #unlike other parts such as “limlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has before” #which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out #thats for another post though #my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that #which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm) #but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling #anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there #grian #trafficblr #3rd life #3rd life smp #3lsmp

whats fun about barry as a protagonist vs other Morally Complicated Guy Shows is that he seriously has no ambition lol, his wildest dreams arent like becoming super rich or relishing in holding power over people, like all he wants is simple happiness, maybe career success, normal life stuff, his wildest dreams are like…. being able to have a wedding. having a kid or two. and theres something reasonable about that, it makes him relatable for a while until the show is very clearly like No dude, that is a fucking serial killer, you should not gaf! and you’re like oh right lol. it’s crazy to make such a simple desire seem so malicious but still human

#like the true success of the show is that he feels just as entitled as walter white even though what he wants is so much smaller #L + serial killer + you’re a war criminal + you’re abusive + kys #barry #but i think it threads the line a little where by s5 of brba i had 0 care for walt i did not feel any emotional attachment #and tbh by the end i didnt even find the whole corruption arc interesting because he was just so painfully malignant and annoying #but barry wants sooooo little. and he’s sooooo stupid. and hes soooo arrested development 15 year old boy #that it still manages to be compelling and he still manages to feel like a human being #not a knock on brba which is incredible television obviously just doing different stuff #idk. something about how it’s tragic but also held at an appropriate distance so as to be laughed at too #like: the irremovable mark doing violence leaves on you.. the inescapability of it… IS sad! it’s sad #and most often IS the result of social conditioning and masculinity constructs and your dads friend grooming you etc #but it’s not the prime sadness. which would be of course the victims of that violence #like. duh #walter my reaction is just. Well i wouldnt do that. I would never choose to do that so who cares #but with barry. all he wants is to not be defined by the hurt he has caused. which is something everybody wants! #but the extents of that hurt are so extreme and are teased apart so well in the show. like theres 0 apologia just exploration #anyway if im doing brba comparisons barry is literally todd

jing yuan and yanqing are giving zhongli and xiao if the latter’s canon relationship was Actually fanon’s made up father figure/adopted child dynamic

#idkkkkkkkkkkkkk who looks at zx and is like 'you know what. this is a healthy parent child relationship' #like girl by fitting them into father son boxes you are actively making their relationship imbalance Worse #if you do that and dont shy away from it i respect that but if you say dad/son makes their relationship more wholesome or whatever like WHY #now i wont deny shippers might do that too but i see the dad son version so much i think im just averse to it by default #also because i think father son makes people actively Try to make their relationship something that its not and it erases a bunch of subtlet #subtleties in it. it's the nuanced r/ship -> entirely unproblematic and flavorless r/ship that i hate #also the number of people who'll block if you ship zx. like damn thats crazy you guys really think theyre father son (fake)??? #at their peak they're like. 4000 year old guys who have too much history and repression and some weird entanglement of 'nah im bothering him #too much' and 'gotta protect him w my life' complexes. and then this devolves into theyre never gonna kiss until 3000 more years have passed #listen they just Contain Multitudes idc if you dont ship it just dont make it into dad and son and we will be so gucci #jing.yuan and yanqing are like different i think mostly bc yanqing is actually like a minor and jing yuan is also a normal ish person #plus the light cone and the abouts?? yeah this is an actual like adopted parent/child thing #also good or bad news i caved and am now playing hsr. the plan is to pull yanqing and then go on infinite hiatus in the game 👍 #JWKFLJWEK i dont think theres really any draws for me besides him. personally neutral on turn based combat and the open world isn't giving #the only saving grace i have rn is 1) ive gotten to the part where bron.seele is real and man theyre gay 2) trailblazer trio 3) tall female #mc 4) everyone has way better emoting abilities than genshin 5) su.shang's really cute <3 #the story doesnt really interest me though its like cool but not mindgrippingly interesting #tbf i think genshin is the same way storyline wise (at the beginning) but the difference is that turn based combat isnt really my thing LMAO #ramblings! #zhongxiao #if you want to filter it out ??

[medichamcham]

(wistful sigh) sometimes i do wish more ppl shipped orbitshipping... wah wah .

#medi.txt #i can only do so much when it comes to making fan content i guess . #i cant stand my own work tbh and i solely enjoy giorose art thats made by others #but obviously theres not a lot of it. so i have to cook for myself even though i cant really eat my own food lol #i just adore them so much and i wish that same feeling clicked for others too lmao. maybe enough for them to create fanworks for them #and that these others also find how much they have in common if you looked closely. idk. but what do i know. #and what else can i do. ill just continue to draw them until i have lost all interest in them LOOOOOL which is. not any time soon... #im hella doomed. anyway yeah

update to whatever is going on in my tomodachi life game : blaze and surge broke up #LOVELOSES . but everything is ok now because i gave surge a cheeseburger (it is her favorite food)

#also sonic and knuckles went on a trip to space because sonic saved up enouhg money for it 👍 epic sa2/unleashed/frontiers/etc reference #anyway back on the topic of surge and blaze. not surprised they broke up it was just a matter of time really #like i said before theyre the only couple that wasnt really doing too well #also at the time they got together blaze was still obsessed with shadow and had shown no interest in surge #but she accepted when surge asked her out regardless of that #idk that combined with the fact that they again were the only couple that werent doing so good has some Implications #surge was actually the person to end it though not blaze #anyway theres your update on . the mess that is the romance situation here #for the record im not like. an actual blaze and surge shipper im just letting these guys do wahtever the fuck they want #(within reason. im not letting any couples with weird age gaps or anything like that happen) #tomodachiposting

[britneyshakespeare]

i finished twelfth night. 25 out of 38 shakespeare plays completed.

#after finally reading othello and twelfth night in the past 10 days im not sure which are the most famous plays i still havent read #bc like ive mentioned previously ive always read the plays in arbitrary order. whatever piqued my interest #hence why i read the henry vi plays relatively early on. or some of the more obscure comedies #but lately since i past the halfway mark this year some of the more talked-about ones im like 'geez i should just get to that one already' #not that that makes me enjoy it any less. i think i mentioned that in my post i made while reading othello #i fucking loved othello. that shit was 10/10 although i very much was reading it bc i felt like i had to at that point. #doesnt mean i wouldnt love it. after all i only read shakespeare bc i love shakespeare! not bc theres a gun to my head #its more like i just want to know what everyone's talking about already #tales from diana #i think at this point the most famous one i still havent read is... much ado about nothing? which isnt THAT famous all things considered #but some of you ppl do seem to be awful crazy about it so ill see #i already knew the plot of twelfth night i had just never read the original. now i have #so i kinda already knew how much enjoyment i could get out of it. some! a good amount! #but i found it a quick read and i wasnt THAT excited about it #the next one i want to read is pericles though. ive read 8 shakespeare plays in 2023 but none have been romances! #i do love the romances. the romances are still the only genre where i havent read more than half of them #ive read 2 out of 5. the tempest and the winter's tale... two of my favorites overall #in a way ive kind of been holding myself back from reading more romances bc i needed to check some of my 'required reading' boxes lol

how was saw x

i keep meaning to watch all of them but I never find the time

I honestly enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting!! I won't say much for consideration of those who still want to watch it without spoilers, but I can say the movie included a part (arguably, multiple parts) that I have ALWAYS wanted to see in a saw movie and it was so thrilling seeing it.

I made a letterboxd a while ago and wrote a review and just... lmao

Also no shame in not being able to see all of them, it's a long process & the movies really meld together in your mind especially if you watch them so close together (4 & 5 are basically the same movie in my mind and to be fair their stories like- go off one another yk so it makes sense). Chronologically you would only need to watch Saw 1 to watch Saw X since it takes place after that movie (and before Saw 2) but imo I preferred having the context of the rest of the movies because there's some nods back to from the older movies that make more sense if you watch the series.

#circus-clownn #ask #really you can watch like the movies from 1 to 7 #because jigsaw (8) and spiral (9) like... dont really have any bearings onto the plot #8 screws up the plot further [HEAD IN HANDS] and 9 - i understand what they were going for but it just wasnt my thing #Saw 3d (7) btw is one of the most hated I believe however theres like 15 minutes of the movie thats really good if you watch it chrono- #-logically so in my heart its worth it (its not worth it but im insane) #i think also im a minority in the fandom for not outright hating saw 3d- not saying i love it because hell no i do not but i find it a lot #more interesting than other fans see it i think... #saw 1 will always be in my heart forever though like #if you just want to watch one saw movie then just watch saw 1 - its campy (... thats what the term is used for right) but i love it #i love older movies i love campiness i love saw 1 so so so much it has a dear place in my heart #OH YEAH FEEL FREE TO SHOOT LIKE A MESSAGE OR SOMETHING IF YOU WANT LIKE TRIGGER WARNINGS OR ANYTHING

[cherry-shipping]

ALSO. sorry for being lame but i think its fun to think about watching all these stupid romantic kissy scenes with my f/os 😀👍

#cherry chats #mostly preslash. but as a couple too #its fun if its preslash its like OOooooobhhhhhhhh there is something on both of our minds but lets just not say anything #and postslash its just hehe kissy kissy kissy ^__^ #sorry my favorite selfship thoughts are all lame. i cant help just loving a generic mutual pining/friends to lovers story -_- #its very rare any of my selfships are anything genuinely interesting like a lot of other selfshippers do #u know where they think of interesting stories and character dynamics and aus and stuff #(those are all so awesome by the way love hearing about peoples intricate selfship stories) #but i cant DO that or well maybe i could if i tried but i wouldnt like it as much #its like when i draw me and sans and people say nice things like 'your self insert is so cute!!!' n its like #buddy that is literally just me. like thats just regular me. thanks though <3 #THERES NOTHING INTERESTING HAPPENING IN ANY OF MY SELFSHIPS ITS JUST BEING COOL FRIENDS UNTIL WE ARENT ANYMORE!!! U GET IT!!!!!!!! #so its the same here. my f/o imagines posts where i sneakily say 'f/o' rather than just sans so as to mislead you into thinking i actually #spend time thinking about anyone other than him #are all just pretty boring basic fanfic-y stuff. which im cool with #its just what i like best <3333

[vampiricsheep]

I want polls so i can ask one quick thing about the next rp event i wanna organize ;w; like i know i can google forms it again but

#tbh i might do another fill in the blank query for theme though since that got some great new ideas out there #but!! i wanna see if there's any interest in arena events #and if so if something structured or solo duels or a free for all are more appealing #it's the kinda thing where nobody has to fight and theres the expectation of spectators but i know pvp aint everyone's thing #also a note for ppl who dont know; when you duel in a guild hall it still uses your pve build and gear #so if youre set up specifically for pvp things might not translate! #but yeah. cheer on your friends. bruise your little guys ego. get your daily dose of adrenaline. whatever #like ofc theres plenty of non combat. theme options too but it's fun and it's like. an outlet for more destructive behavior #idk man im tired of people picking fights at my events and making it super uncomfortable for everyone else and a tussle in the pit is fun

[todayisafridaynight]

I don’t think I can wait until next year for this game tbh Everything I learn about it has me sick to my stomach with anxiety and worry bro. I just need them to send me the whole script right now I cannot make out where anything is going and it’s driving me up the wall and away from everything completely 🫠

ok NOW i think you're overreactin a bit- in my most humble of opinions anyway

what we've gotten from 8 so far from the latest summit is that proposing of some kind's happening: that's it. it's WAY too early and we have WAY too little information to say what's even going on

as for gaiden, same boat: we have virtually no idea what's happening. there's the fall summit to hopefully try and give more information, but i don't think you should shelf the game entirely just yet

#snap chats #of course even after that summit- or just in general- you dont want to play the game then thats totally up to you ! #dont let some guy on the internet dictate what you should or shouldnt play #im just saying i dont like it when people jump to conclusions or react really intensely with such little information #though itd be disingenuous to say its 'little' information: although the amount is small #what we were told is considerably pretty heavy #so again while i understand the anxiety i dont think theres any real grounds to worry #maybe im just weird but this 'concerning' news just has me all the more curious and has me wanting to see the full game more #because there's no way in hell we'll get EVERYTHING concrete just from the previews #that's the whole point of trailers and these summits- to get you invested in the game and the mystery #of course as we can see it's doing the opposite for some people and that's ok ! #but at the very least i'm thoroughly interested in seeing where all of this leads to

[camelspit]

I heard you’re reading the graceling series? Which one are you on and do you like them? I’m on winterkeep (when I eventually get to it)

Im on winterkeep as well! Tbh im not entirely sure how I feel. They just seem really... long? For not much happening. Bitterblues def been my favorite so far! :)

#Theres also just some weird stuff #Like in fire the king idk his name and mila #Why. Why did the author do that. #And i think the series is heading towards a giddon/bitterblue relationship with i dont like too much either #Hes like 8 years older than her and it just feels more like a sibling dynamic ya know? #There are some things i like though!! #Katsa and po are very fun #Absolutely unhinged couple in the best way possible #And saf my beloved <3 complete loser #Love that his grace was slightly hyped up to be some big reveal and then it was like 'lol he can give good dreams' #My least favorite book has def been fire #For one i just. Didnt care much about any of the characters #And after about 300 pages fires problems just became a bit repetitive? If you get what i mean #It got interesting in the last few chapters #But that thing did not have to be like 600 pages #Ig it didnt help that my hopes were high for it #Everything i saw online was like 'omg fire absolitely ripped my heart out' and 'better than the first book' #And maybe its just me but i just? Didnt have much of a reaction to it? #Anyway i would love to know your thoughts on the series! #Im about 60 pages into winterkeep and its fun so far

Haplo/Marit has SO many rights

#thinking about them this morning #well originally i was thinking about patho au tbh #any au where marit raised rue tends to get me #i think it's about the cross purposes it puts her in when haplo inevitably returns to her life #like she's defensive of herself but also her child #adds an interesting element imo #even though an au where she gives rue up for adoption is arguably more in line with canon #and is also potentially interesting #what can i say ive always had a weak spot for kids in fiction #and meanwhile haplos pursuit of her is ALSO a pursuit of his child in aus where rue is there #like he wants to have this family which could almost make his feelings for marit seem symbolic #but they never do to me??? #it always feels like haplo admires and respects marit and wants to support her and also be supported by her #admittedly the beginning of into the labyrinth i think haplos feelings for her DO feel kind of symbolic #it would be a bit impossible for them not to-- this is effectively a stranger #but i think the dynamic just works by the end. theres respect and trust and mutual admiration #it's not necessarily gushy it's just. alignment. #anyway i love them
