Ever since I learned that you had to actually teach your kids how to do stuff, it's been so much fun having them around. It's very cute to watch them play with something they've never seen before, or only do something after they see me do it first. Idk how much is code and how much is coincidence, but they're undoubtedly better at living now. And their personalities are so unique!
Every so often I dip into transformers fanfic (specifically bayverse) just because the concept of giant shape-shifting mechanical immortal robots just slaps so hard. All of the fics get so close but never quite scratch the itch I want, so here.
Cybertronian Sam Witwicky, vessel of the Allspark
A seeker, naturally, but I haven't decided on alts yet. Or a name (I like Rubicon, because of the doorway/point of no return/on a knifes edge between two worlds meaning and.. Also because the Allspark kinda looks like a rubics cube lmao)(but it doesn't sound quite right and I'd like to lean more into the idea of sacrifice maybe?)(or maybe something celestial or mythical for the space/alien/spark=stars metaphor... Apollo?).
I haven't seen it done, but I really like the idea of the Allspark using its own material to create the cybertronian body, given the total lack of actual resources it has (and needs). This would give Sam a very unique bronze/gold protoform instead of the usual grey/black metal, and eyes/optics the colour of sparks. The feather horn things were meant to be a lot smaller, but that was the smallest they got! And idk, I've grown to like them. A little nod to his organic origins. And the circles are supposed to be extra eyes. The boots I was delighted to find, they blend so well with the body and make it look like he's not bare lol. Because hero forge isn't quite that free with design (yet), please imagine a couple wheels by his ankles he can drop down to rollerblade on.
I had a ton of fun with the colours, I think it's my best one from scratch yet! It was so hard to keep from adding too much detail or clothing, and I did struggle with the sheer bulk of a typical cybertronian build. The pauldrons and scarf help with that, but he's intended to be pretty slight compared to the average anyway. In every continuity they're so, so bulky ToT. I might tinker with the proportions now I've finished the model! The spear... Well I'm a sucker for staffs, but it's not a cybertronian weapon unless it can slice or shoot something, preferably while transforming into something else. This one is also a laser gun, very energy intensive if you're not hooked into an infinite power source lmao. He's got a few emergency cannons in his arms, because... Why not?
Man, now I've made him, I want to write something for him so much... Must resist, must resist...
“Gabriel is going to die in Act 3″ this, “Gabriel is going to become Satan” that, you FOOLS.
Gabriel is well loved and known by the residents of Heaven (and even some of Hell). He’s very strong. He’s too well loved by the ULTRAKILL community to die because of Plot.
Gabriel is going to kick our asses as Act 3′s Prime Boss.
Was fiddling with these late last night, and I'm not quite there yet but.......... A) I want them for myself and B) this is giving me too much power... now I can make all the clothes I'll probably never have irl however I want them.... goddammit...
Playing Splat1 again was such an experience. Like...
This wouldn't have gotten past the filters for Splat2 or 3. Yes I also had a moment where I was like "oh no! I need to help suck dick!" and I about lost it
Also I've legit never run into a hacker in any Splatoon game before (I know, it's nuts) but that streak was finally broken and I couldn't stop laughing.
Sadly no one else seemed interested in just having a squid party cause like...what else are you gonna do at this point. Our fate has been sealed.

I hope he still says the line, obvs there's no romance link to trigger it here but I hope it got included nonetheless-- time to grind for Thanatos before the 31st!
Me, returning after many years to do battle with DA:I mods: oh cool, lets see what's new!
Me: ...frosty has mesh editing now?
Me: oh no
Me, six weeks, and ever more crackheaded hacking at Frosty Editor later:
...all I wanted to do was give my Inquisitor those cute little elf footwrap booties for Skyhold. And yet, here I am, making a whole ass fucking armor overhaul because fuck you I want the Dalish leg armor on everything apparently.
i am So sorry to my irls and any of my other friends named madison or madeleine or anything that can be shortned to maddy because now when i think of maddy i think of this very lovely discord user who gets so fucking pissed whenever they get reminded of my existence like we are in a public server and i will type in a channel, not at all referencing or vagueing them, saying something relating to the channel subject, and they will respond, fuming, with shit like "nobody wants you here. nobody cares about you. you should leave the server. kill yourself." instead of doing the sane normal person thing of just leaving themself. they've stopped responding to me lately tho, makes me think they've actually learned that i feed off their negativity.
Usually I really love complexion mods, they're probably the first thing I look for when playing a new game, but I am so pleasantly surprised at how little I am missing them for BG3. The face textures already are so rich and detailed that it feels like a disservice to just like erase all that with a smooth brush
