#you can send that stuff too

[burningspy]

I have officially completed my first real "adult" task since turning another year older yesterday.

I just called (yes, a real phone call - even though I hate them) to schedule an appointment to have a couple new tires installed on my car this Saturday morning. I could have had them replaced either today or tomorrow, but I want a specific brand and model of tire and none of the shops near me has at least two of those in stock right now.

One of my tires recently developed a slow leak, losing a up to few PSI each day and I can't find the cause. Though, it's currently not a huge deal to just top off the pressure before I leave every other morning. Also, since I'm already scheduled to be off work until Thursday, I will only need to briefly drive on it for a couple days before I can get the new tires put on.

Luckily it's one of the two older tires with the issue and I was planning to have them replaced by the end of the year anyway. The front two were replaced around the end of last year because they were getting worn out and have been driving on a "mismatched" set since then. Come Saturday, all four of my tires should all be the exact same type and finally help appease the tiny bit of OCD in me that prefers things to match!

Now that the call is done, I can return to being completely lazy for the next day and a half, until I must return to one of the most annoying of adult responsibilities: going to work!

#personal #mine #me #adulting #I hate making phone calls #I hate needing to do adult responsibilities #why can't I just win the mega lottery jackpot so I can just pay someone else to take care of these things for me #bored #message me #give me something to do #give me something to talk about #some of you still owe birthday presents! #you can send that stuff too #I gladly accept money

OK, fair warning to the few people I actually managed to convince to try the game??

Rain world does NOT play like hollow knight, and you'll get your butt kicked if you approach it like that.

It's really hard. Like, really hard. Instead of the game literally giving you abilities in the form of power-ups and damage buffs, the only abilities you gain is from what you learn and your own ingenuity. You're a rat from beginning to end. If you just beef your way through it, it's gonna suck and you're gonna be confused and frustrated all the time. But if you pay attention, take it slow, and learn how the ai works and how everything interacts with each other, you can consistently get through and dominate situations you thought were impossible to do so when you first began. Now get out there, kill some lizards, and bully some old computers!

#blabbing.txt #rainworld #rain world #art #rivulet #hunter #spoilers #not really lol #Other notes that I left out because I wanted it short and sweet: #There is movement tech out the ears in this game. And it's all there from the very beginning. Literally nothing has to be unlocked #If you learn how to do rolls and slides and boosts the game gets so fast and fun #And learning this stuff takes real work! The timing is REALLY tight on some of those moves #Battling enemies is it's whole separate skillset too. Like there are so many things you can do #So many ways to murder ✨✨✨✨ #Some of the best moments are times where you pull a 360 noscope on a cyan and send it tumbling through the air into the void #And doing your first slide-throw into a lizards underbelly #So risky but so rewarding #AND THIS IS ALL JUST THE BASE GAME! #The dlc is literally a mod that got so big the devs saw it and helped fund it #It adds so much to the game. Literally the mod devs asked themselves what crazy thing a slugcat could do #Coded it #And was like uhhh how does this fit into the lore #So that's how we got boomcat and Jesus Cat #I literally talked to one of the devs by chance (they're pretty active. You can just ask them stuff) and they admitted as such #It's great! gameplay first at its peak! #Anyways give the game a shot. If you want to Get Gud at a game rainworld is for you. It's a game entirely about skill #Not to mention... 400+ hours in and I'm still not done with the game #Prepare for the long haul

The Adaptation That Shall Not Be Named aside, I had an idea for an interesting way you could represent ART in a visual medium: it's cameras.

We know that, in any visual medium, what The Camera (be that literal in film or figurative in animation) chooses to show and focus on is important. Its the primary way the piece of media communicates to its audience, and the framing of a scene tells us a lot about how we're supposed to interpret it. What is on screen and how it's on screen convey authorial intent.

Take all that, and turn "authorial intent" into character expression (in this case, for ART). A conversation between Murderbot and ART that would traditionally be shot-reverse-shot becomes shot-ARTPOVshot, so both shots would be of Murderbot, but one would be from The Camera and one would be from ART. Even though the subject is the same, the difference between them could show us something about ART in the same way a reverse shot shows us something about any other character.

To me its like those shots from a monster's POV in horror movies, where one second you're with your protagonists, the next you're watching them from a far off angle between some blades of grass, shaky cam, ragged breathing. It's a classic, even a cliche, but it does the job of conveying the sense of unsafety, of Something Out There Watching Them, of monstrosity, of something feral and dangerous. All without needing to see the monster. What if that type of shot was all we ever got of a character?

(Also, in all honesty, some of my favourite meta about this series is how it's in conversation with the horror genre. ART and SecUnits being the type of characters that would be The Monster in another story, or from another perspective, is compelling to me, so i'm drawing on that a bit here. The idea of characterising but not visualising ART by taking pages out of horror monster cinematography? I just think it's neat.)

Anyway, you could also do all the sci-fi Augmented Vision stuff with it too. ART POV shots where we watch it pull up a feed tab over the camera feed and replay a section of audio, or check Murderbot's diagnostics, or look at Some Code Or Perhaps A Graph. ART POV shots that are broken into multiple feeds showing different things. ART POV shots that give you the sense of it being textually present without it being physically present.

You could use some of this for Murderbot itself, if you leant into how its drones are an extension of its awareness. You could even use it in a similar way to how Murderbot uses its narration, narrating less when it's upset as well as leaving out major details. What if, when Murderbot is tired of people looking at it or in a more vulnerable headspace, we get more drone POV shots without Murderbot in frame. It's still there, but present in a different way, behind The Camera rather than in front of it.

I think there's potential in using POV shots from ART's cameras to characterise it without visualising it in a traditional way. I think there's potential in using horror movie monster language on ART and Murderbot. I think there's potential in having the cinematography focus on what they're seeing in a way that emphasises the amount of Surveillance both of them are constantly doing.

I think there's potential in a show using The Camera as cleverly as the books use Narration.

You said in your Dr. Scraptrap AU that his first living creation was Plushtrap- are Plushtrap and Dr. Scraptrap still in animatronic suits? Or are they instead more-so organic?

Also, what is Dr. Scraptrap's backstory? Is it the same as William's, or is he a completely different person than the original?

Apologies if these things were already established and I missed them!

Okay, so, they are just animatronic suits. They aren’t regular rabbits or anything—and that goes for most other animatronics that appear, such as Spring Bonnie.

They’re animatronics... but are at least a little different? Imagine Spring Bonnie. They’d actually be pretty fluffy/soft, and would happen to have actual rabbit tendencies—but is still an animatronic, etc.

The same goes for Dr. Scraptrap and, again, most of the others. Minus Scrap Baby (who is something that he’s making), when it comes to the more human animatronics—Ballora, for example, they’d actually be human.

Plushtrap is mostly like an actual living animatronic that Dr. Scraptrap actually happened to make—following the same rules. Though, there are parts of them that are just more of actual... plush and similar things.

I was rambling a bit with that one—I’ll move on. Point is: Not real animal that they’re based on, still animatronics—except for the more human ones.

The next bit—Dr. Scraptrap’s whole thing is just sort of similar to regular William’s, but there’s still several differences here and then, considering the AU.

He still worked with Henry—who is still just a human here in the AU. Except, while in canon, the two of them did the whole pizzeria thing, here, they worked together on something completely different.

By the time he actually met Henry, Dr. Scraptrap had already been doing a bunch of stuff for about 30 years at that point.

He and Henry worked together for about five years—during the fourth year, he still did kill Charlie, as well as Cassidy (though the others are still alive). Henry only discovered that it was Scraptrap who did it in the fifth year.

Dr. Scraptrap has always been an animatronic here. He was never a human, so there’s no remains in him—he was never really William here. He’s just Scraptrap.

Though, he still uses the name Afton for a couple of purposes every now and then.

And, before the present time of the AU, there’s still three more major events that I want to mention—even if I’ve done it before.

Ten Years Prior: Spring Bonnie becomes his assistant—although reluctantly. Spring Bonnie happened to be a very good scientist, and that was why he wanted them.

Three Years Prior: Finally created his very first living creation—Plushtrap.

Four Months Prior: Went and adopted Elizabeth (she’s still human).

Another bit that I mentioned, but he does care for Plushtrap and Elizabeth. He loves his kids :)

I think that’s all I have to say for the questions for now—this was really long, sorry. But there was a lot that I wanted to say. Hope this helps!

[shima-draws]

Props my head up in my hands I really really want to draw a lot more this year so. What kind of content do you all want to see from me. What do you desire. What do you CRAVE. What characters or ships or AUs that I’ve made do you miss and would die to see. I will jot down every idea sent my way and hold it close to my heart over the next year so that I may put pen to tablet and draw them

#🥰 #Also I’m gonna work my ass off so I can finally open my online store this year. It’s GONNA happen. #It would have happened last year if I wasn’t physically disabled for six months. #I already have lots of charm designs sketched out so #Also I’ll prolly be doing prints and buttons as well #Maybe some other stuff 🤔 #ANYWAY. I’ll incorporate a lot of the stuff you guys send too #Shima speaks #I’ve also just been SEVERELY art blocked bc I haven’t had any inspiration #Like no ideas coming to the brain. #So yes suggestions will help sooooo much #ANYWAY SEND ASKS/REPLIES I’ll write them down in my notes :)

pmd-ifying mainline pokemon characters isnt enough i need to try doing that shit with characters from different franchises entirely.

#so....feel free to send some in. i want to try this.. #.....and if you want you can send me some stuff you feel is important to keep in mind with the character/their design too ig? #depending on how many i get i probably wont do all of them btw....

auughhh so if you translate thelxie's morse code and caesar cipher it, he legitimately speaks french

#4.2 spoilers #tre plays #genshin impact #thelxie #freminet #there's a video about it........... #i only managed to catch the “ca va” that he says when you talk to him at the camp lol #tried to screenshot the stuff that came up when the event screen was loading but i was too slow ahaha #alsooooo!!!!! if you read freminet's notes around the camp!!!!!! #we learn that he based thelxie's language output on the house of the hearth's cipher #so like. does that mean that they use morse code...??? or?????? #and also that in thelxie's case the offset for the caesar cipher is just 1 #so perhaps the house uses different numbers for that usually or something idk #but ALSO also #freminet's helmet has a transcription module for this too??? #can he send and receive signals while diving or something???? dude that would be so cool;;;;; #just fic thoughts #and it sounds like freminet can understand thelxie if he has his helmet on............... #nobody else can. but helmet freminet can...................... #beloved boy talking with his penguin fren. i love him. so much.........................
