Kingdom Hearts - Hollow Bastion

#kingdom hearts #kh1 #hollow bastion #scenery #my gif #creating this set helped me truly appreciate just how detailed this world is #i mean i always knew it was beautiful but i never actually slowed down long enough to REALLY look at it #seriously every single room is so varied and intricately designed it's so impressive #it was difficult to select only eight locations to showcase because this place is huge and each area is so memorable in its own way #i technically used two shots from the lift stops but c'mon i wasn't going to leave out those giant stained glass windows are you kidding me #they look amazing but can be easily missed since they're so high up #this world is so dark and moody with its elaborate architecture despite its soft peach toned skybox that's surprisingly calming to look at #she has the range

Experimenting with different visual cues to show that a character is not quite fluent in a language yet. Commentary and extras below the cut. (the other language is kalaallisut, a real language spoken in greenland, albeit machine translated and probs not 100% accurate)

1. Blurred bits

I feel like this one isn't very visually pleasing, but it speaks to me more regarding how learning a language feels. You don't quite make out what the words are, and slowly pick up bits from what is being said. This also adds room for uncertainty on the character's POV, the speech bubble wouldn't be theirs, but what you read off it would be their thoughts regarding whats being said. The blur also helps keeping things incomprehensible even if you speak the other language being spoken.

2. Bits in multiple languages

This one adds room for out of the speech bubble commentary. It doesn't make misunderstandings as easy as with the blurred speech, and with an agglutinative language like kalaallisut it might end up being confusing to organise or break the sentence's syntax. It looks cleaner than the blurred bits though, and it still makes the other language incomprehensible (if you dont speak kalaallisut, that is). Colour coding would help indicate whats being understood by the main character and what isnt, and the texts would slowly be fully red across the chapters.

3. Faded colour to indicate not understanding

This makes the reader able to understand everything, and relies on the reader memorising that faded = not understood by the character. Other than that, colour coding would indicate a change of languages.

I like the reader only understanding what the character can understand and I like the types that leave kalaallisut still visible. Though option 3 might be cleaner and easier to manange.

4. Faded colour + blur

This is something I thought after posting it earlier on patreon. Blurring the parts the main character wouldn't understand can be a way for the brain to quickly skip through the missed text, in hopes that at least the first reading will match what the character is understanding.

Also, for the enjoyment of my 4 greenlandic followers, heres the machine translated kalaallisut version I used for 1 & 2. I had to use a double way translation tool and an annotation tool to be sure the words were somewhat related to what I wanted them to be. I can't really fact check it though, so I hope that whichever way the translator messed up is at least worth a chuckle.

If you'd like to see more of this kinda stuff, please consider supporting me on patreon

I just finished Tulin's storyline and excuse me while I bawl about this game further cementing the fact that Revali made himself a Champion. He was no descendant of an ancient Sage nor did he have a loving family to train him (that we know of). There was no power destined to be his: he crafted his own version of wind control without any support or spiritual guidance and excelled at it and then he and the other Champions went into battle without the special helms, without a sacred tear/charm to further enhance his abilities, without the certainty of two rulers (and a sage from the future) with god-like powers that could back them up if things went awry. Because of this, the original Sages survived where the Champions did not.

Revali was doomed from the start and if he'd known he would've still honed his craft and piloted Medoh with his beak held high and I am in shambles about it

#totk spoilers #tears of the kingdom spoilers #totk meta #don't mind me i'm having a normal one #and to be perfectly clear: this is not me downplaying tulin's achievements #I adore him and he worked his ass off and he /made/ himself worthy of the title of Sage and i wouldn't have it any differently #son boy son i would die for him #but by god do the champions (and revali in particular) hurt an extra amount in retrospective #totk may refuse to mention the champions by name (at least so far idk about the other regions) #but revali is so fucking present in the negative spaces he inhabits #revali's theme still plays at the flight range #when teba is introduced there is an emphasis on the strip of cloth attached to the great eagle bow #revali's landing is the first area of rito village that clears after the blizzard #the village's main spire is now named after medoh #and tulin looks far more honored to receive revali's bow (which is regarded as the very best) than he is about becoming a sage #it is thanks to revali's sacrifice that the village was granted the chance to thrive and defend itself #and that truth lives on no matter what

Guys I do way too much research for this fic I'm looking up subway stuff and like

MY DUDE WHAT IS THIS.

I'm seriously crying, I know it's probably much more straightforward if you have more than a TMNT and Brooklyn 99 fan's knowledge of the city, but to me this looks like witchcraft. It looks like you'd need a PhD to decipher this.

Because this is what I'm coming from.

I took one of these trains last week to go to a baseball game. That's it, that's the light rail in my city. It's a straight fucking line and my mother was still confused.

#she also refused to hurry off the train tracks when the bells rang because “i don't see the train” #and interrogated my sister constantly because she was convinced we were on the wrong train or something #there's literally no way to be on the wrong train they both go to target field #my sister didn't speak to her for a week after we returned home #i don't consider this doxxing myself there's over four fucking million people in this area #and i've mentioned that i live in minnesota like seventy percent of the state is right here #the rest is almost entirely trees and deer

A lake, a pied-billed grebe, and two long-billed dowitchers

#ndr #find me where the wild things are #scenery #pied-billed grebe #long-billed dowitcher #this is a provincial rec area and the name rang a bell but id never been #turns out its a pheasant release site! #we have several in the province #pheasants unlimited and the alberta conservation association (and other groups) raise and release pheasants for upland hunting opportunities #it was such a cool little area ill definitely use it for puppy training in tbe future #its way out in the boonies and seems very unused outside of hunting season

[spiribia]

something i wish more games with predator / prey animal behaviors would put in is hunger values for the predator animals where if they just ate they will be full and stop hunting for a while. in a lot of games predatory creatures will just undiscerningly raze through a herd of prey animals within a span of seconds upon encountering it and then just move on and leave all their meat loot strewn around everywhere untouched. this could create a cool effect if you wanted to portray a very capricious and deadly beast but isn't really the kind of thing i'd prefer for like every single regular guy that eats meat out there. plus they should start eating an animal after they hunt it instead of just killing it and wandering off and leaving it out in the open for a player to collect.

#talks #i kept free-range slimes in slime rancher where the chicken population outpaced the speed at which the slimes would eat them #the only problem is you can never 100% properly do this because there are no free-range ranch areas that are #completely closed off the way pens are where a slime is guaranteed not to like... launch itself out into the sea and die.

i need someone to sit down and properly explain the honkai star rail lore to me because i've played this game for 2 days when it was released for 3 days ( 6 hours a day ) when blade was dropped and now, for the last four or so days.

I just have to remind myself sometimes that no matter what anyone else says, the way a piece of media makes me feel and the positive impact it has had on my queer identity is valid, and that tearing myself apart thinking I have to defend it or questioning my own place within queer communities is not at all important when compared to the almost tangible sense of 'rightness' that piece of media helped me to feel about myself.

#just something i've been pondering the last few days #kind of like no matter how much people debate or i suppose theoretically deconstruct media featuring queer stories #the most important thing is how it makes a queer person feel #and I do think it is of course a good thing to ensure queer stories are executed with respect and authenticity #but there's this grey area in fandom spaces in which people may have found rep from a 'unreliable' source i suppose #or something which is queerbaiting- sherlock springs to mind for example yet if people have been able to explore and nurture their own #queerness through that media does that therefore mean their experience is invalid? i don't think so #and my worry is the more we focus on theory the less we focus on emotion and therefore the actual queer experience itself #and sure theory can inform the queer experience and ensure the media is a 'healthy' site of queer identity formation and identity aid #but at the same time scorning or being rude to those who have found certain media an aid is not the right approach to be taking #especially as queer experiences are so wide ranging that one person's idea of 'good' representation is someone's else's of 'bad' #and that unless a piece of media is clearly offensive in its portrayal of queer experience there has to be some benefit of doubt #I think we're still in a period of progression in media espc tv where queer creators are coming to the fore of their own stories #and we've got to 'live and let live' a little about where people are finding sights of queer validation and joy #and perhaps this a naive and simplistic way of thinking but i think queer people can either recognise when something isn't the best rep #but was helpful for them anyway and therefore in a way confer 'ownership' of the media to themselves in how they engage #or there is variety in queer experiences represented in media so that perhaps not everyone finds a 'site' of rep but that does not #therefore invalidate it or make it 'bad' representation #this is just my opinion and it'd be hypocritical for me to not now mention this is only formed from my own queer experience lol #so i'm not trying to tell anyone how to feel or anything just something i'm pondering

ethnic groups* of rika

kkariko ("embodied child" in kkarikiko, a dominant language spoken throughout much of rika, originating from a mikrikka culture, part of the central ethnic grouping.)

mikkriko ("small underground child" in kkarikiko)

grik krog ("over the mountain" in kkarikiko)

*(these are largely political groups as opposed to genetically distinct groups. like humans, there is a huge amount of genetic diversity and interminging between geographic groups. these images are based on beauty standards and stereotypical depictions.)

#speculative biology #alien species #xenobiology #kkariko tag #worldbuilding #oc #sci fi #the divisions in color represent different culture groupings within the larger ethnic groupings #so for example. western flats as a term includes rikka cultures sinyarr cultures fori cultures and garriko cultures #(rrikrik is from a rikka culture) (karra is from a mikrikka (central) culture) #and the dark teal ground on the grik krog and mikkriko maps represent areas where those two species do not live #mikkriko live underground in cave systems. so they dont live where there arent caves #and grik krog are largely isolated in the west due to the huge big mountain range which created the western flats #grik krog arent very good at climbing mountains or swimming so they dont live on islands either

anyways I think I'm warming to the idea of the Midwest in general

#colorado or new mexico is still very much plan a after this phd is done #but the front range metro areas are all very expensive and albuquerque is affordable but has limited job opportunities for me #and idk maybe the midwest wouldn't be so bad? #i don't vibe with the east coast and the political climate in the south is too generally fucked up #and granted ohio is also fucked up politically but it at least voted to protect abortion rights in the state constitution #but there's also michigan and illinois and minnesota

finally have a name for the tribe that rollan is a part of wooo! abeke's is next (i am struggling just a little)

#her *village* is okaihee but she's got a tribe too #it's just so large that they make up multiple villages in the area #i've decided there will be maybe three great tribes in nilo #one living in the northern savannahs (that's abeke's) #one living in the central mountain ranges #and one living in the southern jungles #maybe another tribe living near the evertree? #but lots of other tribes scattered around #those three would just be the largest ones #aaaah worldbuilding #text #spirit animals #spirit animals books #spirit animals series #path of the heroes #rollan #abeke

Feeling so lucky to have miles upon miles of pasture to wander around in.

#honestly people hate on the prairies and on ranching country #but in ranching country you get these gorgeous provincial pastures that you can explore during the offseason #my recreation areas will have to be adjusted next week because grazing season starts May 1st #but i really appreciate being able to use them to build a solid foundation for recall and good ranging in rory #yesterday we found a huge white tailed deer antler! it was really cool! #no photos though because i left my phone at the car and got tired of carrying it #anyway i appreciate a willow and a grass
