for the wip game, based on a true story (and maybe a little more than that) ? im interested :DD
yesss that one!!! unsure if im keeping the name but it's currently the main fic im working on (which is also why the next wilted rose chapter is late again,,), it's also the most self-indulgent thing ever
so it's a social media au that will eventually also use cool work skins n stuff, and it's literally just about mine n @moongo101 's wof ocs in our shared story for them,,,
basically I thought of a really silly idea where after everything died down and the characters have grown up one of the characters decide to write a book explaining all the shit they went through. except she decided it would be funny to market it as fiction instead and let the internet figure it out themselves (also I decided they have internet despite being dragons idk they have it because its funny lol)
it is currently 3k words and still growing and I haven't even started putting it in the workskin,,
as for a lil snippet of it...

People seem to have taken my 'medieval piety/child faith/stay in ur lane' vibe as an endorsement of the Benedict option and let me stay. Absolutely the fuck not.
I don't actually think monasticism is bad! It is extremely sanctifying for some!!! But the Benedict option as a dogwhistle for retreat from the world into insular communities and radtrad attitudes?? Hate that shit. I am in and, for now, of the world! I live here! Creation is good! No Gnosticism or Manichaenism here!! There is good to do here and now! Not just in some nebulous far off future!
It's ecumenical! It's universal! It's ignoring church politics, not because I'm horrified by the liberalism or w/e (actually be MORE extreme justice&praxis oriented thanks), but because they're exhausting and I'll never be able to change them and while everyone sits and argues about whether or not we ought to be radical, and to what extent, I'm going to go roll up my sleeves and try to BE radical. Dorothy Day 'everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes' mentality.

I read that same fic earlier and I just straight up muted the person so their works don't show up for me anymore lmao
there was also another one like that posted yesterday because the person was mad at something qBad did a couple of days ago while not at all in his right mind and amnesiac, it was odd (not shitting on the person just confused and slightly concerned)
yeah there’s. a lot of misconceptions around qbad rn lmao. It’s one of the reasons Im so obnoxious about him, tbh, so that it’s not JUST the negativity that gets spread. He’s a really good target for the hate rn, because he has a smaller fanbase and his pvp playstyle + lore lead him to all that antagonizing during purgatory, and that gets vented out into fics.
It’s genuinely really interesting, the dichotomy that seems to exist between tumblr and twitter regarding him. Ive heard nothing but slander about bbh from twitter (again, he is not faking his illness, that is a lie), but he’s got a solid enough foothold on tumblr that ive seen more hate towards the fans that the cc, here. which makes sense, given how we take over the tag almost ever day when he logs on. genuine o7 to people who find that obnoxious but thats one of the reasons i overtag so much, for blocking purposes.
anyway i think all the bbh mischaracterization means that we just need to write about him more >:D please this is a call for more bbh centric fics from people who do not hate him/know a little bit about his lore. blease he’s such a fun pov to write i promise

on my knees gripping my head hnngggg i thought abt bellumbeck too hard
tag ramblings are fun and on brand but i have too many disorganized thoughts and tags are limiting.
anyways thinking too hard abt him is an extremely good and fun thing but i cannot draw the way i wish and can't really put my thoughts into fic form so this is very much going to be a fun ramble.
bellumbeck drives me insane we all know this. he showed up in my dream last night as of writing this sentence so he is on my mind, which is surprising bc fictional stuff doesn't usually show up coherently in my dreams but there it was.
it's so incredibly fun to think about bellumbeck. he's such a black sheep of a loz final boss, there really isnt another loz final boss like him in concept or even in 1:1 tone imo. it's so fun to take bellumbeck incredibly darkly seriously.
to be fair bellumbeck is kind of objectively a fairly dark and disturbing final boss on a conceptual level, and it's not really out of nowhere since phantom hourglass has at least a little darkness running through it even if the general tone of the game doesn't really acknowledge or take advantage of it. but if you think about it hard enough even without getting into post-game speculation in regards to what happens with linebeck, bellumbeck is kind of a dark boss and it's great. full on screen demonic possession of a major character with most of the cast incapacitated and link isolated with no escape on the ruins of the ghost ship that started everything and facing a boss that is constantly facing him and both someone he's been with the whole adventure and also the creature that's captured his friends and killed who knows how many people.
it's so oooouuuugghhhh it's so much fun to think about bellumbeck even though it's such a short encounter. it's so... the mystery around bellum, the way linebeck is built up throughout the game and saves link directly before getting possessed, the fucking on-screen vaguely violent possession (i am forever obsessed with the way bellum grabs and tugs on his arms), the way ciela is captured early into the fight, too, the first companion character you meet and, if you had her equipped, it leaves you without a fairy that follows your cursor around for the first time all game, it's very... congrats you and your friends are at rock bottom! good luck getting everyone out of there alive!!!!
of course it's not quite that because this game is geared a bit more towards younger players, but still keeps those streaks of darkness and complexity just simply because they're inevitable parts of this story and it's characters. bellumbeck. i'm talking about bellumbeck. what a soulsborne-ass final boss, huh?
there's only so much a ds game can do in terms of boss animations, but i think a lot about more complicated movements and animations for bellumbeck, so, so much character can be communicated through a boss's animations. in my mind, i enjoy bellumbeck movements with an emphasis on puppet-like flourishes and mannerisms, and an emphasis on weight with how he fights. these two go very well together, and its something i love imagining.
with the latter, an emphasis on weight, would ideally focus on the sword (and im a fan of it being this huge greatsword, reading berserk got me around to liking it because you can do that really well) and how it has to be used one-handed, with bellumbeck leveraging his own weight against it and taking advantage of momentum to use it especially effectively to turn link into a little green and red smear on the wood. attacks blending into each other as he builds up momentum, and using that weight primarily against link, who is a small opponent who relies on rolling around and can’t really stack up at all in terms of brute force.
i imagine this kind of physicality and movement would lend itself very well to bellumbeck also having more puppet-like movements, being a little too tugged-along by his attacks but still retaining his footing, his free arm being just a little too limp a little too often, and his leaning away from his sword side, likely with the intention to properly balance himself out, looks off with how his head lolls unnaturally to that side. the puppetry effect lessens as the fight wears on and bellum gets the hang of the body he’s using, but never actually goes away since he’s not looking to act properly human anyways.
just like... movement flourishes and details that could add a whole lot to the overall experience of bellumbeck that i think about often.

that concludes all the ko-fi sketches that i started back in january, it took a lot longer for me to get through, so thank you everyone so so much for your patience!!!!!
if you follow me on twitter, you’ll know that im starting to separate my accounts into a personal one where i post my usual drawings and stuff while the other one is strictly for commission related things, and i was wondering if i should do the same thing here for the sake of convenience (since it’ll be easier for me to divide my dms into work related messages and just normal dms people send me, and it’ll be easier for you guys to find my previously done commission work for references/examples). if you have any thoughts on this please let me know!
