#out of character announcement

[pokemon-ecologist]

//OOC ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Hello Rotomblr, Finch the Mod here! I kinda vanished, huh? Sorry about that, I got very stressed out from a minor homelessness scare, got incredibly busy IRL, and sort of had some just slightly souring anon drama all at the same time and I cut myself off from Rotomblr for a break. I don't regret it, but I do regret that I didn't make any announcement whatsoever, so I'm sorry about that.

I'm going to slowly ease back now, but I've decided that Auzī is going to be placed on a high shelf just for now because three of these blogs is too much for me personally to keep track of, haha. (It's still alive, don't worry, just imagine that it's busy defending Lostlorn, it'll have some moments of activity when I think of stuff and have the energy.) Primm and Lucy though? They should be back in action soon. Although, minor retcon, I've decided the 't' in Minskt is stupid, it's Minsk now. And the Lucrezia is Lucretia.

Primm will hopefully still be involved in some other folks upcoming RP arcs, and they'll be active where they can. 'Cretia? She's been... Busy... But! I won't spoil that here!

Anyway! Glad to be back! I'll be reblogging this to all of the blogs I Mod, so everyone gets some idea of what's going on.

Wangxian goes to horse jail for their crimes against equines.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangij #game dev diary #Going forwards you'll see me talk about game dev stuff with 'we' and that is because this is a collaboration!!! #I am doing the art and my friend who has coding experience is in charge of the technical stuff. #We're testing out the basics of the program and figuring out the limitations before getting into the meat of our own project. #This is the part where I soft-announce that I'm working on a game. We're still early into development but it's coming along B*) #Originally the playable character was the horse and the NPC you talk to was WWX but I asked to switch it up for this gif. #We will be changing the window skin for dialogue portraits so no handmade art there yet. #My friend added the official art as a placeholder and it made me laugh very hard. #The thrill of seeing the little guys I spent hours drawing walk around is unparalleled!!!

As much as I'm worried about Lilia this chapter (and I'm very worried. He's my fav! 😭) I also cant help but wonder if he's not actually dying and just caught the fae equivalent of a cold, and just, ya know, forgot that was a thing. Like his magic is gonna come back in a few days and he'll be all "Oh, guess it was just the sniffles."

I have to think they won't actually perma-kill him in-story -- I tend to be hilariously wrong about predictions, but, like, surely they wouldn't change the status quo that hard. (at least not before his nendoroid comes out.) so it probably will end up something like that! everyone watches Malleus' little shadow-puppet backstory, tears are shed, character development happens, and then Lilia is like "ha ha, speaking of wacky misunderstandings..." let me believe

(or possibly, because Lilia is a jillion years old and everything is relative, "I'm going to die soon!" = a mere 80 or so years left. which still isn't great for Mal, but is way better for Silver and Sebek and me. either way, Lilia's gonna have a lot of 'splaining to do.)

having a moment. but when i was little and first getting into writing stories and drawing characters i always used to make every single character white, strange when you consider that im literally black but much less strange when you realize that at that point in the early 2000s i had never before seen a black person play a hero in something i loved or see a black person on tv with an actual role period (me and my sister used to see how long we could watch tv without ever seeing a black person, INCLUDING ads and it would go on for hours) so to little me, all the heroes were white. things slowly got better and i obviously got over that idea but still most roles i saw a black person play on tv was the sassy best friend of the white protagonist who existed only to be a sidekick or anything like that. but this is the first year ive actually felt like things were actually looking up.

between spiderverse, doctor who, and percy jackson i have never seen so many widely loved protagonist roles in mainstream media held by black people ever before in my life, ESPECIALLY by dark-skin people!! and they're well written! and they're the hero! and they have full lives outside of just being "the black character"! idk man it's just nice to finally get this, i love u miles morales, i love u the 15th doctor, i love u annabeth chase <333

#text! #long rambley guy #if you hate them you will die and go to hell. #when they announced leah sava jeffries and ncuti gatwa i CRIEDDDD #and i love watching spiderverse so much bc good GOD miles is definitely has the exaggerated swagger of a black teen #the fucking “get off his ass” in atsv......miles morales ily #sony im looking you dead in the eyes. im giving you the pass to let him say the nword in btsv #its out of character that he hasn't yet

Hello! It's come to our attention that the lore of the game is very confusing, and so we decided to put our two shared braincells together to create a comprehensive lore document for the game! If you want something in particular answered in it, send an ask! Until then, we won't be answering any lore asks as we'll be putting everything we can think of into the document.

The Answer (now titled Episode Aigis, just like its Japanese counterpart) has now been announced! With it we got the other half of this artwork... and it turns out that Makoto was looking at Aigis all along 😭

#persona 3 reload #makoto yuki #aigis #aikoto #omggg they dropped this out of nowhere!! #I thought we may have to wait until the persona concert for the announcement 😭 #please please let them do justice to aigis' pain and character arc!! please just adapt the answer 1:1 without changing things #(except adding a proper scene of aigis crying at the end) #posterotp #official

Sorry to everyone else but I'm actually the biggest Darius stan (bonus: autographed Scott Kreamer photocard 😂)

#darius bowman #jurassic world chaos theory #So the context is that I learned of the existence of Kpop photocards #And galaxy brained to use a self-printing service to print characters + coworkers and it's SO funny #The reason there's so many Dariuses was because he was the only announced character at the time and I printed them to give out to the crew #But the coworkers and Scott ones are so funny and they're a huge hit 😂😂 #I guess I can print Ben now but this service is in China so I either have to go or ship so that's not soon 😔

stultifera navis rerun AKA thinking about Iberia hours again because a lot of the Iberians have such fascinating relationships with the concept of home but specifically Thorns and Lumen are eating at my brain. like where do you call home when the place that is your home Just Fucking Hates You? Elysium's rewinding breeze specifically makes a point to hammers home how differently Iberia treats its Liberi and its Aegir

(which is especially interesting since this comes right after a conversation where Purestream commented on how despite Leizi being a high ranking government official, there are still some experiences that are universal for all Yanese people - because the experience of what Iberia itself is like isnt universal for all Iberians)

But all that being said, Thorns also straight up states that Aegir is not his home, and yeah, how could it be? How could a place you've never been to, never truly known, ever be your home? How could it ever feel like a home?

so where do you go when the place that you are from hates your people and the place your people are from is completely unfamiliar and alien to you? Thorns' answer at the end of the conversation with Aya is: my home is where i chose it to be. my home is where there are people I care about and people who care about me

in the complete opposite direction, Lumen's oprec asks: why do you still stay in a place that wants you gone? because the people of Gran Faro like Jordi well enough but when push comes to shove, they will want the only Aegir in town gone

and yet, when Rald the messenger offers him a chance to leave Jordi turns him down and when he's forced to escape Gran Faro after the people there literally try to send him to his death (or worse) at the hands of the Inquisitors he keeps trying to go back because like everyone in stultifera navis, Jordi is clinging to his own dreams of a golden age

but the shape of that dream is unique to every character and for Jordi, his dreams are deeply, inseparably bound to the Eye of Iberia, the legacy his parents left behind

and it's this dream of becoming someone great, of bringing about that golden age that his parents devoted their lives to help create that ties Jordi to this nothing town because despite everything, despite the mistrust of the townsfolk and the hostility of the Inquisition and the danger from the ocean, he simply cannot leave it behind

(or, because i personally dislike the official translation,)

"I just see this place as my home"

so yeah. not sure what overall point i was trying to make here i'm just. deeply in love with these stories about chosing what is and isn't your home, of saying you will not call a place your home because it has given you no reason to or saying you consider a place your home even though it has given you every reason not to. deeply unwell about them <3

#arknights #asto speaks #not much of an essay writer i just keep thinking about them and i need to force other people to think about them too #thorns story fucks me up bc like. this whole almost found family adjacent idea of like #maybe home isnt something decided by your birth but something you can chose based on what truly matters to you #it just gets to me. i guess. #jordi gets to me in a completely different direction there's nothing personal about it i just find his story *fascinating* #just a guy. a completely normal guy. an absolute nobody caught up in these dreams of greatness while also fully aware of his own normalcy #but never letting either of those overshadow the other. never losing that self awareness or that fuckin obsessive determination #god. what a Character #i love jordi so much like genuinely #i joke a lot about him being just a Guy but thats also kinda like the best thing about him #the fact that he is the way that he is and does all the things he does despite being just a Guy #gently holds #for context i was so hyped about new iberia lore when sn was announced i read the whole thing as soon as it dropped on cn server #cuz someone uploaded all the story sections to bilibili right after it came out #and '我只是把这里当作自己的故乡啊' fucking hit me SO HARD #in like the greater context of elysium demanding to know why hes risking his life in like 5 different ways to return to gran faro #because yeah jordi just doesnt want to leave his home but like we the audience knows the full *weight* of what that home means to him #and the weight of the dreams that made him chose to see Gran Faro as his home and to refuse to let go of that #thats why i like the original a lot more than the translation i think like it really emphasises that active *choice*. #this is the place jordi has *decided* to see as his home and he knows what that means and what it means to him #side note the part on thorns might not actually age well depending on whether hg decides to ever release more aulus lore #i mean i'll gladly take the L if it means more aulus and/or thorns lore like #i just wanna know what (if anything) is tying him to iberia yknow #ak #iberiaposting

I think Nightcloud's Thaw (assuming you keep that title) is a great idea not only because your Nightcloud is so interesting and because she as a character deserves more spotlight, but also because it would be interesting to see Crowfeather begin to change from her perspective. After all, you said it was a surprise he offered to help save Breezepelt at all- and what better way to show that than for us to not be inside his head when he makes the decision to offer to help?

I'm feeling more and more confident about it. I think BB!Nightcloud is absolutely the best choice of a character to observe the events of "Crowfeather's Trial," now Nightcloud's Thaw.

Nightcloud's Thaw is an okay title for now, but I want to bat around some more names.

It's meant to invoke the way her life begins to turn around, after Crowfeather's exile; beginning with that reveal, how Crowfeather's behavior reaches a breaking point in the Clan, her reputation turn-around, and finally accepting Crowfeather's help in aiding Breezepelt.

So "thaw" is one way to put it... but if I could capture something more related to the change of seasons or time, that would be good too. Nightcloud's Daybreak, Nightcloud's Horizon.

We can go through Nightcloud's process of unlearning with her.

The dread and fury at the reveal, the shock when Crowfeather actually sees a consequence, and the way that suddenly the Clan is sympathetic towards her in a way they'd never been

How this newfound empathy feels somewhat insulting to her, but, how it helps her start to realize that she DOESN'T deserve how Crow treats her.

Makes it easy to truncate most of OotS, can quickly be described as "they stayed together slightly longer, but if it wasn't dead, their relationship was quickly dying."

And really get to the meat of the story with how Crowfeather deflecting the blame of their son's Dark Forest training on her was the LAST straw. For everyone. Including Crowfeather himself.

(I think I'll actually change around the fight in the BOTTE to be Breeze attacking CROW, and Lionblaze STOPS him. Because killing his pathetic dad, in the end, wouldn't fix anything and would ruin his life forever. Really change it to stress that no one likes Crowfeather because of how he keeps treating people. If Crow wants to turn that around, he has to CHANGE.)

(Plus, something just feels nice about letting the two have a bond. Something about how they were both pulled out of the dirt at the Kitty Olympics and washed clean by Nightcloud, starting this deep, brotherly bond somehow. I'll have to revisit this.)

Nightcloud alone can link the way that Crowfeather is trying to change himself, AND the way Breezepelt is getting worse, in the way I want

She's cautious of Crowfeather, for good, obvious reasons. He hurt her, and has only ever used her good faith as leverage against her.

And she's charitable to Breezepelt, because she knows exactly what pain is behind his rash, emotional behaviors.

SO I can frame them both in the way I want through her eyes.

Plus, I need a place to put her childhood. If it's not here, I wouldn't have a good spot to put it.

I could link all the flashback segments with having Addersong pass away, since he would be VERY old at this point. It could be very bittersweet for her

She spent so much time away from her beloved mentor, who taught her so much.

She could have had so many wonderful years with him, his advice, and his songs. But now he's an elder in his last moons

All because she let her heart be hardened after the death of her family. Pain lead her astray so many times...

I'll probably rework a LOT of the stoat stuff. I know right away there's a lot of actions in CT I want to rip away from Crowfeather and hand over to Breezepelt; a lot of the loud, openly argumentative moments he has with Onestar for example. SHOW the way that Breezepelt interprets Harespring/Darkseeker's diplomatic responses as "sniveling and traitorous" to him.

Have Nightcloud be trying to bridge this gap between Breezepelt and his Clanmates with her new reputation, and it just not working.

Maybe shuffle Nightcloud's disappearance near the end of the book, around the time that the Kin appears. Show that his mother being suspected dead was a BIG reason Breezepelt made such an emotional choice to join the Kin, and bring his other allies with him.

#Nightcloud's Thaw #Better bones au #In the Tunnel Rescue of BB!AVOS I have a CLEAR scene in my head where they're all escaping #And Breeze is harangued by a 'bully' character who antagonizes him all series long in the Kin #And just as he's forced onto his back in the leaf litter in a brawl #Nightcloud SURGES out of the tunnel-- the first of Harespring's team-- and CLOCKSS that bully #TAKEN OUT BY THE WORD GO #ANNOUNCER CHEERS #ITS NIGHTCLOUD WITH THE STEEL FIST #She can be the only cat on the screen EVER who punches another cat and knocks them CLEAN outcold LMAOO #And then the others stream out and reveal the Rescue Team which was Heather and Hare's plan all along #But Nightcloud gets to be the first one out #Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train #And sometimes it's Nightcloud #Same thing.

Can I be mega autistic here and vent for a second and ask if anyone else is lowkey scared for whatever the next RE game is HSBWHDNDJ

IT SUCKS ASS #like realistically I KNOW it’s silly and I KNOW I’ve got nothing to stress over BUT ITS STRESSING ME OUT BAD AND THERES NOTHING I CAN DO #RE4R/Luis has been SUCH a massive comfort of mine and turned into a full blown special interest and I guess the thing I’m most scared of is #the fandom moving on and forgetting abt re4r/luis as a whole which again I KNOW is silly but I can’t control my brain!!!! #and also combined with the fact that Luis probably isn’t coming back to the franchise at least anytime soon is HEARTBREAKING man. like thats #my special interest!! that’s the thing I’ve poured hours of my time into!!!!! I’m scared to see people move on #he’s already a fairly unpopular character in the wider fandom too!! and the fact that the content we do have of him is ALL we’re gonna have? #I dunno that makes me so much more stressed out and anxious than I should be which. again. I KNOOOOOOWW IS SILLY BUT I CANT HELP IT MAN #THE AUTISM!! THE AUTISMMMMM #I dunno I’m expecting Capcom to announce their next game this summer fest and it’s genuinely stressing me out sm which I hate #I hate being so afraid of change it sucks so much man #anyways sorry for the massive vent I just had to get this off my chest cuz it’s been weighing me down massively and making me more anxious #than it has any right to BCNDNENDJXJ #and again the fact that there’s a solid chance we may never see him again at lest not anytime soon is so so so so so devastating to me it #again makes me so much more upset than it has any right to HDNSHENDJDJ #not to mention people who are already weirdly mean and nasty to people who DO like him. I’m Not having a Time rn

you expect me to believe that Nico, who has always been introverted and very private, officially came out of the closet by just… announcing to the entirety of camp half blood that he was gay? and then publicly asking will out on a date?

will solace, who wasn’t out yet?

did we fucking read the same house of hades??? nico di angelo would literally never out someone, not. ever. but especially not after what cupid did to him

#that was a MAJOR fucking source of trauma for him #he would never out someone #AND he would NEVER announce to a very large group of people that he was gay so casually after what happened in croatia!!! #mate ​what the FUCK was this book #why the fuck was nico so out of character i’m going to riot #tsats #tsats spoilers #pjo hoo toa #percy jackon and the olympians #nico do angelo #will solace #rick riordan

Jesus fucking christ every single sequence with Val in The Silt Verses has me having to pause the episode to go

#i don't think it's possible to understand how horrific she is without listening to the series. especially without the soundwork #too tired to go up the stairs to continue your murder spree? just announce that you've already killed them all and it was a massacre. #and then the gorey sound effects of everyone dying just like that #and she thinks she's going to be ablw to will everyone she's hurt or killed into being fine???????? GIRL YOU ARE FUCKING DELUSIONAL #the silt verses #tsv #val tsv #ramblings of a bystander #and there was the guy she turned into a tree. and the town she wiped off the map #and the guy she turned inside out so all his organs were on the inside #and the woman she had be eaten by her months old baby #jesus fucking christ most horrific character in anything ever. most horrific podcast ever. #like i recommend it don't get me wrong. but jesus christ mind the content warnings. #ok that's enough. got 10 minutes left of this ep.

I have finished watching the Fallout TV show and my one big take-away is...

Welp, time to re-install FO4 and go find and romance my favorite charismatic chem-taking knife-wielding hat-wearing chaotic good social justice raisin man.

Again.

#fallout tv #fallout #fallout 4 #john hancock #hancock fo4 #fallout hancock #I liked a ghoul character before it was cool (/j - everyone had the hots for hancock when FO4 came out and romance options were announced) #i still viscerally remember a post on tumblr going “imma fuck the ghoul” when a question about the romance options came up lmao #wild to partially relive that whole thing right now (but in a good way!) #its so cool to see ppl discover the game and the characters and make posts and videos and all that #mine #random

boy in silly sitting positions compilation

#cats #I especially like the last one where he just has one single paw poking out of that box for some reason lol #I still have costumes to post and like a billion other things.... grr... constantly failing at staying active on social media aughh #I think because currently my Main Focus is on trying to get my game done and stuff.. which basically just means sitting and writing all day #so there's not much to post about. Though I know the Good At Social Media thing to do would be to post about the #writing and share progress and talk about the game and characters or whatever to try to build interest or something but that is SOOO weird #to me.. I could maybe get it if it was like a tiny tiny discord groupchat of playtesters with like 5 people in #it.. But something about talking openly about things before they happen is weird to me?? Like presumptuous feeling or something #''oooo guess whats gonna happen LATER!!!'' like.. how do you know.. what if it doesnt. what if you dont finish it. what if its not the way #you think it's going to be. what if something changes. etc. Like I literally avoid movie trailers and game trailers for the same reason ghj #Even if it's not ME doing it it just feels... weird.. Maybe it has to do with my OCD and how I just don't like talking about ''future'' #things in Certain Terms. Like if I was going to say ''Oh yeah sure. come over to my house in a few months''. I would have to follow it up #with like ''HOPEFULLY you can come over to my house in a few months'' or 'They'll come over in a few months MOST LIKELY''. Because just #stating that something will happen matter of factly takes for granted like.. what if somehting horrible happens and I DONT have a house #in a few months? or what if something bad happens to me. or to the person coming over? I can't ever DEFINITELY say with 100% certainty #that one could ACTUALLY come to my house in a few months. anything could change. So I have to allot for that in my phrasing. hbjjkn #There are a lot of situations where you're expected to just Assume Things but for some reason that bothers me. My brain literally does not #even Assume the most basic things.. like how do *I* know that just because it's someones birthday that they want to be wished a happy #birthday? what if they dont? everyone is different and has different preferences. I should check with them first. or wait until they public #ly announce that theyre accepting birthday wishes. I have to allot for all 5034859069 rare possibilities at any given time and never take #anything for certain. etc. ghjbjhbh.... ANYWAY.. I have been feeling a bit sick lately as usual.. but still slowly making progress on some #things. Moslty I need to edit costume photos. make sculptures. and work on the game. Going back reading some of the old writing from like #2018 and suprisingly I don't have to change that much of it? In fact I like it mostly. so that's good. I would be very interested if I were #playing the game myself. Though that doesnt mean much since my tastes are so niche lol.. #Still really want to clear some of my million tumblr drafts as well... alas and aughh and ooughh and so on and so forth. Between all of my #evil appointments other such things...why cant I have one billion dollar to retire into relaxed hermit artist life of no stressors.. bleas
