wizard of both ways

#pokemon #swsh #champion leon #wizard leon! Ive messed arounf with this piece for literal months #and like yesterday my brain was like okay either you finish this or you explode and die #so. been finishing this up #now I can return to work in peace.... #this is! also a revision of an old design #which was kinda made up as I was goin so it wasnt the most coherent thing. but I was like well. its a wizard design #cowboy wizard... sword and pen..... being in two places at the same time..... this is what this wizard is about now #the number of wizard leons Ive got is still at a round ten rn I think. into this new year I'd like to shore up and make a zine for em #got a big to do list this year... hope I get to everything #but for now. we return to the good work. we live n we see #have a good day guys!

i don't know what order to start Dissecting, so i'll just start with:

it's absolutely fascinating how the dynamic Wally & Barnaby had - to my knowledge - before the update, and a dynamic i'd seen speculated elsewhere and generally accepted, has been completed turned on its head

see, given that Wally is the "main character" and Barnaby is classified as "his best friend", i got the feeling that Barnaby kind of... tags along on Wally's 'shenanigans'. that he's the sidekick, the best friend. especially since their dynamic has been previously & briefly described as "Barnaby is very polite to Wally." he's the Companion.

but the audios sorta paint a reverse picture. in the Interview, when Barnaby enters stage right, he completely bowls over Wally's introduction and dominates the interview. when the interviewer asks how the two of them are handling the fame, even outright asking Wally, Barnaby doesn't hesitate to answer the question himself, and only about himself. Wally doesn't get another word in edge-wise until the interviewer explicitly singles Wally out.

(now, an argument could be made that Barnaby knew that Wally was somewhat overwhelmed with all of the questions, and tried to take the reins to give him a reprieve. but, considering that the interview seems to be very early on the possible timeline - like, very soon after Welcome Home debuted - i don't think this is likely. i doubt Barnaby and Wally would've had the time to solidify their dynamic or really get to know each other that well yet)

and Barnaby continues to take point in pretty much all of their other conversations, too. like in the mystery Howdy/Barnaby/Wally audio, their interaction gives off the vibes that Wally is Barnaby's sidekick, his tag-along.

(on a related tangent, it's fascinating how the website described the episodes as "[beginning] with Wally introducing the focus or theme for the day before coming across other characters who would join him on his escapades until the end of the day." but from pretty much everything we've seen so far, it seems like He's the one who's just along for the ride, bouncing from neighbor shenanigan to neighbor shenanigan instead of having his own adventures.

of course, if the 14 audios are present time, which is honestly somewhat likely, this could be because the show isn't running. they aren't doing episodes - they're just existing, doing their things. no need for Wally to take point in any way shape or form. tangent over)

in the 14 audios with Barnaby, he doesn't even acknowledge Wally until the very end - which, of course, could be because that's how the scenes are set up. except that in some of them, the characters do directly acknowledge Wally's presence outside of the endings. Eddie in 5-14, Howdy and Poppy in 1-14, and Frank in 4-14 (technically, since he was infodumping to Wally at the very start before Barnaby interrupted). you'd think that a guy would try to include his best friend a little more!

maybe i'm reading into it too much. & given what we know about Wally as a character, it would make sense for Barnaby to be the go-getter Main Guy of the two. but it really seems like its Barnaby & Wally instead of Wally & Barnaby. he's just kinda... there. going along with whatever Barnaby is up to.

but also, on the other side of things - & it's occurring to me as i type this, it's interesting how in a lot of audios, Barnaby seems to seek Wally out. in "Just So", he shows up to fetch Wally. in 4-14, Barnaby interrupts Frank and Wally's gardening session, almost as if he's stopping by to check on his little buddy. in 7-14, Barnaby calls Julie's house (presumably) searching for Wally, or at least checking in once again. something to consider in all of this!

#and if the 14 audios are in the same day along a timeline - which they Are. im trying to puzzle it out rn but anyway - #its interesting how barnaby just kept. checkin. in. #they had three audios where they were already hanging out and then got two (technically three) more where barnaby checked in! #it feels like there's something there... #separation anxiety? a compulsion? love for his buddy? a secret fourth thing? #maybe he could tell something was Off with wally that day... #(which is a topic i will ramble about in a different post) #its a push & pull to be certain.... #but yeah that plus all the evidence of Barnaby kinda being the Lead and wally being brushed off to the side.... #what a complicated fuckin picture it paints!!! dont know what it means yet! #i have another post im working on centering on how the neighbors seem to treat each other - wally & eddie especially #but this post aint about that. itll be related though #homebogging #wh speculation #please let this have made sense! #when i make posts i just kinda throw myself at it bc i have No organizational skills! #my brain is a complete incoherent mess and i am so sorry if this post is messy <3

a quick hot guide for people that struggle commenting on fics aka things authors love to hear and youre just over thinking it and its actually really simple to leave comments on stuff!!

key smash/emoji spam/reaction image/etc (it conveys emotions way more than you might think)

drop a line you really liked

say how much you love a ship/character and how happy you are that theres content about them

ALL CAPS ANYTHING

"i liked/loved/enjoyed/whatever it!" its better to say the most basic thing than saying nothing tbh; writers appreciate hearing anything over nothing 💜

"thank you for writing this" its short, sweet, and very powerful

think what kind of feedback you'd personally like to receive on a piece of art you made. try to translate that want into comments you leave for other people too

you dont have to be critical or constructive or anything, even if the author asks for that stuff in their notes. they'll get it from someone else, you just do you

i feel like people make leaving comments too hard on themselves, so really just make it simple. if you really dont come up with anything, just say thank you. youre there reading for some reason, tell the author what it is. fic comments dont need to be book analysis essays (tho those are. incredibly appreciated as well if you want to write one!!), writers publishing their works for free online appreciate any kind of feedback regardless if you consider it good or well written. a comment is a comment

bottom line is, leave comments on fics and other written works. its whats keeping this game alive

#feel free to add these are just the two cents in my brain rn #also absolutely reblogs encouraged #listen im not just speaking for myself i want to see every fic writer get more comments. more feedback #and dont even get me fucking started on getting reblogs on this goddamn webbed site im gonna blow up otherwise #just. fucking. support your friends. support your favorite creators. say nice shit about them and share their work #i cant believe this needs to be said in fucking 2023 god #im tired can you tell lmao #i also know im a fucking nobody talking about this but fuck if i dont who will ugh #as someone that tries their best to always leave at least a word in everything i read (which admittedly isnt a lot but still) #this is a very important topic to me. okay? okay #again feel free to add to this and its absolutely rebloggable if for nothing else than to remind people to COMMENT ON FICS #night is an absolute mess on main

Me looking at all the asks in my inbox and wanting to answer them but work has been so stressful lately that I have zero energy once home:

#i wanna sleep for three days #and i wanna talk to you guys but all my brain comes up with rn is static noises #and yes its past midnight here but my anxiety induced insomnia is keeping me awake #holy fuck bangtan is leaving its still mess me tf up #rambling

this is just me theorizing and I haven't actually read any theories yet AND this is gonna be half baked cause I just want to put my surface thought so far into the world.

Wayne did say there was a deeper meaning behind HLAGE. And that it meant a lot to him (If i'm remembering correctly.)

And I think they said that gnome chompski representing chat was close and/or correct. Could the series sort of be a representation towards how he feels about streaming and creation? Having the gnome AKA "chat" take over and play HL2 sort of like a representation of having this giant shadow of what people want for HLVRAI2 sort of thing.

And also having this sort of love hate relationship. And growing fond of the gnome anyways, to the point that he realizes he misses the gnome when it's gone. (Never thought I realized idk the gnomes pronouns).

Uhhh there's more but I can't put word into thought yet. Take this as a demo???? Of my thoughts. I guess.

#dude my brain is melting I just got off work #but I've been thinking about this on and off for like weeks #This post is a fucking mess i'm sorry #its the potential undiagnosed neurodivergence #I will probably write a proper one once I do more research and have hours to write this in a concise readable way #hlage #half life alyx but the gnome is self aware #half life alyx gnome edition #so scared to put this in main tag but idgaf at the same time #i could be so sooo wrong and misremembering shit rn #so launch me into the sun and lock me in the vault if im wrong eh #hlage theory #snazum talks

hey gamers im thinking about the au where vincent is the protag and v takes jackie's place in the heist (😔) and the fucking "this is my brother and i need a shovel to love him" quote that has been HAUNTING me since i first read it many months ago

about how strained their relationship has been (it is in every universe but since i made him corpo its extra bad) and the only scenario in which he can love his sister is her death (🤪)

and how TERRIBLE the relationship between him and johnny is at the start bc he reminds him of his sister but eventually he sees all the good things about her (JOHNNY IS THE SHOVEL DO YOU GET IT *SHAKES U* DO YOU GET ITTTTT)

about how (thanks to johnny) and finds love (kerry) and none of that would have happened to him if his sister didnt die (THE HEIST WAS HER IDEA)

how he cannot even bury her or buy her a niche (because thats her last and only wish, no marker, nothing to remember her by because the idea of her being a ghost freaks her out so much)

DO YOU GET ITTTT

shota being kind of awkward when he likes being around someone and having absolutely no ability to flirt properly is so important to me actually

#everyone wants him to be soooo smooth and suave #i think he either does not give a fuck or he cares so much that his brain stutters and doesnt work properly #hes too tired to be smooth. if he's ever suave its an accident bc he doesnt actually give a shit and it comes across as flirty #bur in reality he does not care abt the person like that dhfjdkl and is horrified when he realizes the person thinks he was flirting w them #and when he actually DOES care... god help this man LMAO he's going to be a mess #not like stumbling cutesy uwu awkward. he would be straight-up strange and off-putting DBFHDKL #i cannot come up w any examples rn bc /i/ am v tired but ghfkdl ... i will think on it #these two guys are like little barbie dolls in my brain DBFJDL they're just wholly divorced from canon at this point #LIKE THE BASIS IS THE SAME... but i am ADDING FLAVOUR and INGREDIENTS. I'll keep the base recipe the same though #but if the outcome changes bc of my ingredient additions well... aint that just the way it goes sometimes LMAO #dandy.cmd #🖤napping in class

[sickmachete]

may i ask what brush u use for ur art? whatever it is i need to eat it

ahh it depends!!! i alternate constantly because i always change my mind on what i like in the moment but !! my general rule of thumb is to just pick some random brush with fun textures/edges (or find some to download) and then just screw around with the blender settings til i find something i like, ie:

overall i tend to prefer brushes thatre labeled as oil pastels/pencils/charcoals etc. basically just brushes that try to mimic real textures irl. because ironically, in my experience, the uneven gritty textures that come with these types tend to make colors blend more smoothly than the brushes that are actually smooth and round in shape. if that makes sense?

(but also pen pressure is sooo important. i need to be able to choose how strongly a color shows up based on how hard i press the pen because thats what truly allows for the kind of soft corrections needed to properly blend colors together)

however!! where brushes fail i always always add layers of paper/sand as overlays to the entire drawing because it gives it that papery/canvas feel that i so love :-)

#asks #tl;dr i like making my digital art look as little like digital art as possible LOL #but also hi sorry i cant stop myself from oversharing when people ask me questions i am a rambler and its incurable #ALSO i use clip studio paint. just for the record #in case that wasnt clear #i wish i could just link you a brush but im not kidding when i say i change brushes Daily #like the majority of my drawings were done with brushes that i only used Once for that drawing and then never again AJSDHFG #i am just a mess <3 #but yeah hopefully this made some sense to you #im operating on not even a full brain cell rn so who knows
