#i'm just fukin

[theabigailthorn]

Just wrapped on the new Chube lads

Took two days of filming, but it's in the can and headed to your eyeballs soon. Dead chuffed with this one: it's ambitious and creative and cool as hell

This isn't even the best outfit: there's more on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/93358888?pr=true

ALSO - an old character from Season 2 of Philosophy Tube is going to be making a comeback!

#philosophytube #philosophy chube #philosophy fukin chuuube #let's goooooooooo #fun fact that's my actual apron that I just have for baking #Brian got this wild D&G leather blazer dress and I was like 'Lol I'm gonna put a cheap amazon apron over it' #Why does this pic feel like it has John Wick energy? #Wick pic #Welcome to my kitchen Mr Wick would you like ten knives for no reason? #I need no knives: I will cut you with these cheekbones #John Wick: [looks confused and Stoic] #John Wick: [defeats me easily with the paprika] #the knives were a misdirect

I am so normal about these tickle spots I swear-

#Tickles #Ok but why are these weirdly so pleasant and so fukin maddening st the same time? #Yes I'm making a deliberate and around the bush hint at someone specific 👀 #Iykyk #Incase it ain't clear #Inner thigh just above knee #Shin (weirdly enough) #And calves #Just fukin #Yes

[cloud-somersault]

alright, chapter 5 just went from being hella sad to fucking gay as fuck so i don't know what's going on anymore

#when you read chapter 5 and you're like “hey wtf is going on??” just know that i'm there with you #i've fukin given up with these damn monkeys #whenever they're in a scene together i'm now like “okay do whatever you want! fuck the plot and anything sensible.” #and they sure do that #ruining my plans. ruining the pacing #makign jarring scene transitions UGH #I HATE THEM #constellations fic

[commanders-sole-braincell]

Kinda wanna make a character who just manages the Commander or like other fighters

Theyre the producer type just hanging round fight rings tryna talk deals, all about that gold, secretly will throw down for folk,but has again zero morals when golds on the line. Real captain silver from treasure planet type

I think thatd be a really fun way to rp with folks

#Just fukin knocks down a door YOU YOJ THERE ARE THE NEXT BIG THING #They have a new yorker accent but it's never explained #I'm tryna think what British accent is the equivalent and j got nothing #I've git several ideas rolling sound AGAIN but I can mash these #A la toxic mantis knight #Comes outta panic attack clutching a character IM COPING

What do you think about the lack of importance Edenia have in the last (and probably in the upcoming too) games?

Seriously, it makes me really Sad. Edenia was so important in the first timeline. What the hell happened? Only a few characteres mention this realm in MKX

It sucks. Big time

If you'll note, basically none of the realms matter anymore, aside from Earthrealm and Outworld.

Sure, the Netherrealm exists, but that's pretty much it. Dreamrealm is of dubious canonicity (introduced to explain Freddy Krueger as a guest fighter, then used to explain Tremor's glow up. Given he isn't shown in the storyline and arcade endings aren't canon in that game, I don't feel comfortable saying "yeah. That's important to the story"), and means nothing to the plot.

Chaosrealm and Orderrealm also don't show up despite being neat concepts.

What I'm getting at is that it makes the MK universe feel small. Edenia is only part of the problem, but I think it's a good example. Mortal Kombat feels more focused on nostalgia bait, Realistic Graphics, and more grisly Kombat than being, y'know, Mortal Kombat. None of that is necessarily Bad, but it's making it feel a little generic to me.

Maybe it's my bias and nostalgia, but that's just wrong. I'm not saying they need to bloat the worldbuilding, that would suck too. I'm just saying that they have these fun concepts, could they PLEASE do something with them???

Not to be the "they changed it, and now it sucks" guy, but I really love the original timeline's absurd worldbuilding. That's a major draw for me. Not only is it absurd, but it was constantly rolling and acquiring new and interesting bullshit. To me, that gave it a personality.

The original timeline feels like you took Enter the Dragon, the Matrix, Magic the Gathering, and classic slasher films, mixed it all up, then used it to bread and batter the gameplay. Deepfry that sonuvabitch until golden brown and serve it hot. Its the fried fish and hush puppies of gaming. I wouldn't say that it's Good For Me, but it's fucking delicious.

Its also not widely palatable and, just as Long John Silver's isn't exactly a big name restaurant, MK was kinda in a slump for a while, profit wise.

I think what happened is they cut back the weirder shit in order to make the games more popular. Its a chicken tender now. Not bad, but it's more of a "I'll take it if there's nothing better/nothing else I feel comfy eating" dish. Still not Good For Me, but often dressed up to seem healthier. By which I mean "able to be taken seriously by more people." The worldbuilding is more Serious ™️, so is the Gameplay. Don't get me started on the State Of The art Graphics.

Its all done this way for profit reasons. I don't doubt that folks on the team are still passionate about the games, but you can't forget that NRS is owned by a bigger company than Midway was. There's more executive meddling, so we see less of the more niche worldbuilding elements like Edenia

#gopher rambles #mortal kombat #To be clear; of the NRS games I've only played MKX. I have 11 but a few things #(game design; character design changes; plot stuff I know about through the fandom) have put me off it. #So just be aware that I'm not working with full knowledge of the whole sitch #also im very tired and this is more of a brain dump answer than anything. sorry dude #if you want me to clarify any of my thoughts let me know. im sure some of this is word salad. #long post #oof. damn sory for the rant. i just. have a lot of feelings about this whole deal. asking me about how i feel about an aspect #of the original timeline is a surefire way to make me ramble about shit i miss. I MISS THE WEIRDNESS. WEIRD SHIT WHERE FID YOU DO I MISS YOU #BABY COME BACK. EDENIA. CHAOSREALM. KENSHIS STUPID BABOON ASS AND RED CROTCH COMBO. #YOU WERE ALL SO SILLY WHAT HAPPENED #*fukin sobs* where did the time go? #im so sleepy. voodnight

I have just made a snack so delicious, it has completely derailed all my plans for the night.

From now until bedtime I will just be shoveling cinnamon sugar popcorn into my mouth.

#and my whole house smells like warm cinnamon and butter now and I couldn't be happier. #food cw #it was just gonna be an experiment #but now that I'm tasking it this is officially going into my recipe book for all eternity #it also made a HUGE fukin batch so I'm gonna be enjoying this stuff for DAYS. yesssssss

[felikatze]

stuff that make you pay to get access to dark mode

youre all evil

dark mode ain't an aesthetic it's a thing that doesn't make me be in pain

#ibis paint i love you but please don't make me buy procreate #fukin make a dark mode #and don't make the ability to change the background color a premium thing #Right now I did a trial because I couldn't take it anymore #please don't make me pirate I don't want a pirate ibis #and it's even more annoying because the only tablet I have is an iPad and I got that one for free I am not going out of my way to buy a big #Android tablet just to work with APKs #having to deal with IPKs is going to be annoying but I'm going to have to do that #I'm fine with buying the ads off add-on but I can't pay 3 to 4 each month just for dark mode

[thedegu]

my tablet died and my new one isn't going to be here until tueday, I was in the middle of a drawing and I want to work on it so bad. I'm suffering......

#like i can start something new with physical media #but i want to work on THAT drawing #and i keep my WIPs just on my desktop so I can see what I'm working on #but i cannot work on them whenever I open my laptop #because i dont have a fukin tablet!!! #suffering forever #or tuesday

[spiralingspiderling]

I am absolutely on the edge of quitting my current 3d artist job to become a cleaning specialist or a maintenance worker or something else that pays actual money, not silly money

#personal #I can't have a raise #I'm not sure I can find another 3d art job like the one I have right now #I'm staying at my friends place for free just because they are awesome and kind and I want to pay them but I fukin can't #It was my dream job and I used to love it #now I am unmotivated and feel the stagnation of my skills #AND I'm poor also #thanks for coming to my ted talk now we go back to the usual

“Please send me my class work schedule for this week so I can be ready,” I politely message my boss yesterday.

“We have two hour-long classes back to back in 45 minutes, do you want to pick them up?” he messages me 3 hours ago, when I’m still sound asleep with no access to my phone.

Still no actual schedule for the rest of this week.

#XI Yammers #i'm fukin livid 🙃 #how in the world do people run a business like this i just don't understand #this is why I need to be told AHEAD OF TIME what the schedule is ffs #so I can PREPARE #i don't live at your beck and call ok i have a life too #if you don't give me enough notice or confirm the schedule with me then you can't complain when I can't make it

hey it's nanowrimo. i have tips bc i've done it about 34 times.

Don't edit. Ever. Stop it. If you just decide to start a new project half thru this one with all new characters, no problem. pick up and keep writing as if you'd already written the first half of that.

"but i spelled it wrong" whatever. "but the grammar" whatever. make it exist first. no time for sense. think like you're working on a typewriter. no backspace. only forward go.

Don't re-read further than a paragraph or two backwards. "did i mention the gun before?" listen - it doesn't matter. if you need there to be a gun there, the gun is there. put it back in once you finish the book.

"i forgot the specifics of X thing i already wrote" whatever. change it, make a note/comment to figure it out later, and just write what makes sense for the moment. "no raquel it's legit the characters name and origin" idc that character is now reborn as Claudius from Elsewhere. it's fine.

only you see your mistakes. nobody else knows. one of the ways writing and dance overlap - only you know the choreography. nobody else will know if you miss a step, so just keep dancing and pretend you meant to do it like that.

it's an illusion that you need to write linearly - from point A to point B to point C. Nah; that's just timeline propaganda. I've written a LOT of books out of order and just reordered them once i've finished. if you have a scene you'd LOVE to write but can't get there yet because of plot, just fuckin write the scene. I've always found its easier to establish "point F" "point J" and "Point A" and then wiggle my way between those scenes.

write what you WANT to write. 230 pages of smut? of well-researched discussion on bread? whatever. the point is to strengthen muscles however you can.

if you miss a day, a week, whatever. not the end of the world. we all have dry days. also time is a myth so u can do this challenge whenever u want.

as soon as you try to write for a specific audience, you kill your voice. you are writing for yourself. stop thinking about how people will take ur book. it don't matter. what matter is u, enjoying writing. i luv u.

play to your strengths. i have characters talk so much because i don't know how to write a plot if it kills me but i'm really good at dialogue so.

i love a flight of fancy. write a poem in there. shift tactics and write in code. keep it fun for yourself.

see what happens if you shift something major about ur main characters - gender, wealth, superpowers. or if you change point-of-view. or if you kill everyone in a big explosion. do NOT edit anything before this or after it. often these little weird one-off exercises teach me what interests me about what i'm working on. it is never what i thought. plus it is a fun way to add like 1k words.

stretch.

it's for fun and for practice. stop doing that project if it's giving you anxiety. once my nano was literally 50k words of half-started stories. just things i tried and tried and tried and wasn't able to flesh out. oops. but i am now 50k words of a better writer.

add dragons?

read books/listen to books on tape/etc. people often make the mistake of "buckling down" to just write. you need inspiration. you need to like. fill up on words. you need to remember how it feels to lose yourself in a story.

i don't have the time or space to really talk about this in this post but a lot of creative people turn to drugs/alcohol because it can help you be more creative. this is harmful, and walking a blade that only cuts deep. if you notice you and your loved ones are turning more to substances, please know i love you and i hope you are able to get help soon. i feel like this almost never gets mentioned because it's kind of a hazy underbelly to art. you are always more important than the work.

on that note. drink your fukin. water.

don't talk about a story until you've finished it. once you tell the story, it exists already, and isn't about discovery. i usually have a very canned "haha we'll see" response.

grapes :) tasty snack.

i love you be free.

#edit: the command not to talk about it is from personal experience! #i have heard Otherwise in the tags so i will edit to say: #if you've noticed that you tend to like Talk A Lot about ur piece but never WRITE it - #consider voice-to-text #also #u might be like me and ... need to figure it out on the PAGE and not OUT LOUD #i am often an auditory processor so i wont tell people specifics but i'll be like #huh. so i have a character who is in love .... and they don't know it #and my friend will be like ''oh they should kiss' and meanwhile #somehow #saying it out loud im like #yeah thank u ur right the dress SHOULD be purple that's what the problem has been <3 #idk!!! it's up to you!!! my suggestion is to say LESS until you know for a FACT that saying MORE works better for you #-- always better to slowly unspool in ur exploration of that #than to accidentally talk too much and get Bored Of Project #idk idk idk #i have adhd so every book surprises me bc im like #wait where did any of this even COME FROM #and whatever little gremlin in my brain that writes is like :) #''heyyy girlie.......'' #WHICH IS A LONG WAY TO SAY: #i didn't know about Not Talking About It as an option until i'd ruined a few projects!! #but there are people who need to do the other thing!!! and i love us both!!!! #wow brains are so funny!!!!

aaaaa... Well, I once mentioned msm "au" (again: is that even possible to say?). I'm a little scared to post this, I'm not sure why. This au is related to the celestials and ordinary one-element monsters. the idea came to me just spontaneously, while I was looking at them and was something like: what if they were swapped??? and now we have an alternate universe where single-element monsters are now... new celestials?? probably something like that. it's more of a swap-au than something like "years later AU". Although, who knows... I decided to add more accessories and details to the single-element monsters to make them more "stately". (One more thing: I made the designs of magical monsters based on the characters from "The lost landscapes".) It seems that's all. (I hate my fukin Yandex translator)
