back on my I Need To Draw Like 4+ Hours A Day Or I'll Explode grind which means: two new sets of villain coded character references! we've got the long-awaited full ref for Dr. Practis (seriously they were the first character I concepted after the main trio this took forever) and then some slightly newer additions, Shithead Teen Friends Of Nemo Names TBD

#anonymous puzzler art #anonymous puzzler originals #villain coded comic #dr practis something something are you transmasc or transfem don't know don't care you want me #cannot emphasize enough all the Shithead Teens are either directly visually based on or amalgamations of my Actual Middle School Friends #using they/them for all three right now bc they all give me vibes of Figuring Out The Whole Gender Situation #we'll see where that goes in time. #anyway they're all nemo's friends and in a shitty teen punk band with her (nemo's the drummer) #minnie won't meet them for a while but I think it will be good for her when she does.

something something i'm not as interested in reading/writing x reader/r anymore something something

#june shines #bc. my boyfriend #periodt #but the dilemma remains because i still enjoy writing and want to scream about the characters #i guess it's the x reader part #which kinda alienates me from most writers on here!!!! which sucks a lot!!!!! #but idk there was also a point in like 2022 as well where i was experiencing this #and it never really stopped it only solidified #god but i still want to write here and for my favs and ahghhh #i just have to figure out a type of content i enjoy #i would be more suited for fanart at this point just because i can spend the whole time appreciating the character without coming up with a #-story i'm disinterested in #does that make sense #but i'm not very good at art! which is ok!!! i still enjoy it which is all that matters #but as far as fanart content creation goes i'm not really suited for it #anyways #certified yapper #i'm going to try to come back with some type of content after finals but we'll see what that looks like

It's time for a redesign!!!

🌊 Welcome to Blastblogs! 🌊

I've been meaning to post more on this sideblog, mainly because I also wanted to see if I could make a comic series of my trainersona and his Pokemon so I wanted to repurpose the concept and maybe make more Pokemon content.

I've also gone and changed his name to Manny cuz each time I talked about the trainersona, it was awkward for me to say my own name so his new name is Manny! Coming from my second name.

Anyways I guess we'll see where this goes. See y'all :>

#blastblogs #pokemon #trainersona #pokemon art #blastoise #krookodile #tyrantrum #pokemon trainersona #pokemon trainer #I do wanna make a comic series but at the same time maybe just random comic strips #eh we'll see where this goes

[scribz-ag24]

do you have any favorite fanfics involving grovyle, dusknoir, & celebi, either shipping or platonic? 🥺

In fact, I have some! Perhaps if I hadn't found them I'd be a bit more sane now, alas... So the next three are all from the same author and are my favourites from PMD (although I havent looked for Grovyle/Celebi or Dusknoir/Celebi alone, idk if someone has some recommendations for those). Still, tho, here is what I've read.

One more adventure https://archiveofourown.org/works/48325621

Platonic future trio (tho the author has stated that they can see the shipping happening lol). I like this one especially bc of the Celebi appreciation, she's the POV and has added lore abour her crucial role in keeping the dark future stable and helping to fix it. Also great dusknoir and grovyle characterization, but that's a given with this author.

The next three are actaeon (Dusknoir/Grovyle), so Celebi barely appears or has relevance. It's a shame, but they're still some of my fav fics.

Stars that shine https://archiveofourown.org/works/33070633

ABSOLUTE FAV. IVE REREAD IT LIKE 20 TIMES. ONE OF THE MOMENTS TOWARDS THE END LIVES IN MY HEAD RENT FREE. Btw you can ignore the tags, its not as grim as it sounds lol. No spoilers but this fic is the fic ever. Also Dusknoir is so in love in this one it hurts lmao. I sketched some fanart for this fic i need to clean it and post it.......this fic deserves it.....

Together we'll be heroes https://archiveofourown.org/works/37172176/chapters/92737780

This one is also actaeon, but theres also focus on Hero/Partner. It's a retelling of EoS through snippets of Hero, Partner, Grovyle and Dusknoir's PoV, and is really well narrated. While i was put off at first by the idea of a retelling of the game, I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining the story and characters are! ts unfinished, and unfortunately ends before the story progresses much beyond the plot of the game, however the part of the story that is set in post game is precious. and it also has my favourite thing ever, that is, future trio not knowing what the hell to do with their lives now that theyre not dead.

It's not unfounded https://archiveofourown.org/works/28630209

This one is not from the same author, but it's also short and sweet, and it even inspired one of my posta about future trio (the one with grovyle's "tail" wagging xd). Maybe it can get a bit too "fanfic-y" at times, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Its basically actaeon hurt/comfort and discussing what their future is gonna be now the the world is back on track and on its way to healing.

So yeah those are the ones I've read and enjoyed lmao. If you've looked for pmd fics before you might have already read them, since there arent a lot of fics and these are all well tagged and all.

#scribz answer asks in 30 words or less challenge #oh well now yall can see what goes on my brain 😔😔😔 #ask #okay can you tell that i had the dusknoir/grovyle brainrot and celebi came afterwards #i think ive compensated it tho lmao #BUT FOR REAL STARS THAT SHINE IS SO PERFECT IT HITS ME EVERY TIME AND THERES STH ABOUR DUSKNOIR FEELING PUPPY LOVE THAT IS SO MESSED UP BUT #ALSO SO SO SO GRAHHHH #so yeah i liked it #also 'together we'll be heroes' is also so fun and the dusknoir and grovyle moments are peak #theres one part after grovyle's capture in crystal lake where dusknoir goes 'you know. if the people of treasure town knew the truth they #would side with me' #and thats the kind of bs dusknoir would do like yesss bullshit your way through a conversation with your greatest enemyyyy

[prototypelq]

I needed some self-therapy this month, and my chosen method has been a monster-hunter genre game, cause I've been severely missing it for the last two years at the very least. This time, I've decided to bite the bullet and give Monster Hunter World a try, despite my very picky and allergic reaction to most of eastern titles, cause I had the feeling I could stomach some of my frustrations with the incentive of monster-hunting, and I was not wrong. (though some things still greatly frustrate me)

Here be my impressions of the first 10 or so, hours into the game (strictly solo experience for Reasons):

The weapon variety is honestly overwhelming for a newcomer to the series, but the katana, bow and insect glaive have definitely caught my attention. Their movesets are a joy to fight with, the glaive especially, plus you get a bug buddy))) and insane mobility options, what's not to love about it. From experience, I can guess that the chargeblade would also bring me much joy to fight with, but that is a weapon for more skilled players, I can see myself trying to check it out later.

(I think this gameplay is mh rise and not world, but all of these moves for the glaive still exist in world)

I can finally see why the fans were talking so much about ecology. Just watching videos is not enough to really show it, but you feel all the little things when you play the actual game. Before playing, I was thinking that 'dino-dragons that breathe fire do not exactly fit your standard ecology', that people just didn't know much of actual ecology to speak like that and at best, they meant that the monster design was influenced by irl animals. However, I understood what those fans meant when I saw that Anjanath, whoose pink and bald skin greatly resemble a vulture, mostly just patrols around and steals food from other monsters.

(watch me hang on for my life when he came around xD)

Pukei, the horrible trashchild that I grew to adore, is quite nimble and agile to fit through the dense forest canopy, which it HAS to do, as there are bits of the jungle where the hunters have to force themselves through tight vines, a dragon of larger size has to be flexible. The chameleon and gecko inspiration is very strong in this little bastard, and it fits perfectly into the jungle, where it resides. Also, the game doesn't have to explain to you that this guy changes the colour of his feathers when aggressive, and it works not just on a gamedesign level, but on the creature-design level too.

Barroth (?I think?) lead me to a large mud pit, in the lowest part of the map, down the riverbed, which, is, y'know, Logical, as water flows down the slopes. It fits so perfectly into that zone, it was clearly the monster's lair or favourite spot, as that monster has a few mud-related attacks and an armour buff.

These little things really ground the weird dino/dragon whacky designs and make the whole world really vibrant and come together wonderfully, they also make the that ecology aspect really shine. You don't normally see this attention to ecological detail in games, and it is clear that a lot of care went into making them.

(btw the binoculars are great, they also work as intended, because the colours of this game, while muted a bit, still are very distinct and bright, unlike otheR games that haD binoculaRs in them)

So yeah, I've been enjoying exploration and the world of this game a lot. On that note,

look at this toad. he is perfect. he deserves the world. I am very happy you can keep little guys in your tent (it's also the only reason to visit said tent)

I also really love that you can make your cat into a literal little gremlin. I adore him now, he too is perfect.

Now for the things that frustrated me.

Controls. The inability to remap inputs and clutch claw controls are atrocious. Apparently the game has walrunning, but I have no idea how to distinguish which surfaces it works on and which it doesn't. No manual jumping is very confusing at times, there are a few very specific places that I'm sure I should be able to climb, but the jump is automated and it didn't work, which just leaves me shrugging. That said, vine swinging is cool.

There are far too many menus with very overwhelming rpg stats, it's very hard to make sense or reason of any of them.

For the amount of tutorials the game just keeps Bombarding you with, which is annoying as hell, the weapon&armour upgrade and progression system is not explained at all. The upgrades seem to unlock at finding specific materials, but not All of them. This makes me feel like some weapons have better viability for new players, because they can be upgraded with materials from early monsters, and my go-to weapons apparently don't fit into that category, though I can't be certain of this. There are no perk explanations, so I gotta guess which perks are more useful and which aren't, though I'm not that far into the building anyway, so for a beginner it's not a big problem.

These are just inconveniences the new player has to deal with, but they are not gamebreaking in any way. The ten hours I've spent with the game have been very enjoyable, and I'd love to play more of it.

#though i am already patching the game with mods cause I don't think it is balanced well for solo play #i have had monsters escaping the encounter three times before hunting them #this situation has happened TWICE now and I have my gear maxed out as much as research tree allows #also I haven't yet understood where exactly do you check the danger/equipment req level for each hunt #sooo im just gonna buff damage a little with mods we'll see how that goes #also i spent an hour in character creation only to wear the big skull helmet with a mane the entire time #absolutely no regrets #if i had a nickel for each time this happened I would have two nickels the first one being dos2 #it will also happen again #monster hunter world #mhw #i want to take jagras great cheeks and pet them and smooch the lizor in the head they are very lovely very friend-shaped adorable guys #10/10 would adopt if I could own it responsibly #i also need to get the hang of the photomode #cool monster designs bring me great comfort

finally writing my fic about rafe taking sam to new orleans after bailing him out of prison to see What Happened to nate and sam being equally devastated and infuriated and betrayed by the fact that nate is off living his ~normal life and then having a lot of complicated emotions about how he can't possibly fit into this domestic caricature and how can he possibly convince nate to get back in the game so of course he begrudgingly decides to partner with rafe (all the while intending to bail the second he has a compelling lead bc rafe was always a means to an end)

#sam drake #samuel drake #rafe adler #uncharted #shut up miyou #possibly will include vignettes from the 2 years he partnered with rafe #but let me be clear this is NOT a ship fic lmao #i just love a good character exploration #and sam is 100% thinking about his exit strategy the entire time #bc avery is His Thing it's a Drake Thing not a drake rafe shoreline thing #sam and nadine meeting for the first time would also be smth fun to explore #anyway my plan right now is just writing the new orleans bit and then we'll see where it goes from there #knowing me it will probably spiral wildly out of my control #(yes i know i need to finish my nateharry fic but all in good time)

opening the second chances fic doc after barely writing anything this week and remembering why i was so stuck :) sigh :) i absolutely love trying to connect little bits and pieces of unfinished scenes that are written out of order :))) why am i like this :))))))

#also worrying with how im formatting this fic. bc it goes back and forth between 1989/1990 and 1997. often. #and im like hm. maybe. maybe thats not good. maybe i go back and forth too much. #but as the fic goes on we'll be getting fewer 1989/90 scenes and the 1997 scenes will get longer....but idk #just worrying abt the pacing and the format/structure and worrying that the way it is now is gonna make it hard to read #but also this is a silly little fic that im writing for fun in my free time so like. i can do whatever i want ig #also where is the spencer that once cranked out 13k words in 5 days. am i back to the spencer who takes ten months to write 10k words..... #bc thats how long it took me to write my chaptered benvi fic but i wrote my [redacted] fic in FIVE DAYS. a chapter a day!!! #this is gonna be a oneshot which the longest oneshot ive written is 5k and this one im hoping to get closer to 8k-10k with it #maybe longer if it needs to be idk. we shall see #anyways. back to writing the mike/joyce scene even tho im lowkey dreading it & getting secondhand anxiety from my own writing lol #s.txt

I think tybalt's dislike of mercutio & romeo is entirely impersonal. Like he knows nothing about them. he just hates them on principle bc of everything his grandparents have been feeding him about the feud. But romeo & mercutio's dislike of tybalt is personal. They hate him because he's a dick.

#i have this scenerio in my mind. which i haven't actually played out in game yet lol so we'll see how it actually goes down #but anyway i have this scenerio envisioned where romeo & tybalt become friends while away at university #Juliette & the rest are scattered elsewhere but Romeo and Tybalt just happen to end up at the same school #& Juliette is like Romeo. Romeo. can you please look after my brother & just like. make sure he doesn't get expelled #& Romeo. who was already comparing their schedules and mapping out routes specifically to avoid Tybalt. is like 😕 #but whatever whatever hijinks and mishaps ensue and eventually they embrace the power of friendship #and then Juliette & Romeo break up for whatever coming-of-age reason they think up this time #i forget where i was going with this lmfao. i just think it would be funny if #they were able to put aside their differences outside of Veronaville & then they come back over break #and are just operating on a completely different wavelength from everybody else #ts2 tag
