scenecore misty back at it again!! + a speedpaint! :D

it wasn't meant to be a youtube link, but uploading the video file itself won't work, so apologies about that i know youtube links are annoying on tumblr please don't kill me </3

#it's very hard to label this design honestly - it is not exactly scene ESPECIALLY NOT the hair. however i consider scenecore different from #it and more like an aesthetic based on scene that may or may not include the culture like the music and raves and such more #leaning on internet nostalgia if anything #so id say that fits better so the adopted scenecore misty title does fit. i originally didnt wanna use that myself believe it or not #anyways hope you like this it took longer than intented as always. whoopsies #and enjoy the music in the speedpaint heehee #i didnt check it while it was rendering so if theres goofy stuff or missed recordings/skips then whoopsie @_@ #flashing #bright colors #rainmaker #misty moonsoon #scenecore #toontown corporate clash #ttcc #guz art #video_guz.mp4 #abt what i said earlier tbh genuinely how i made this design i just slapped stuff i like together #i loooove putting rainbows and stars on stuff... and lots of purples #also i gotta like make a pinned post on my main so i can credit back the textures i use #if i dont forget... its like 4 am though so! yeah no not rn . also sry more tags than usual i do want ppl to see this + my usual sortin tag #Youtube

Bug Fables Transcript

If you like bug fables and want an easy way to reference the in-game text, then I have the site for you!

https://bugfablestranscript.neocities.org/

I’ve spent the last few months setting up and formatting the raw dialogue files into an easy to read setup, with sections divided by main story/sidequestline, geographical area, and character.

So...yeah, enjoy! Feel free to use the stuff on there for whatever fan project/fic/etc that you want (as long as you don’t take credit for the site itself or use it for ai stuff). In fact that part’s encouraged, since that kind of stuff is what made me wanna do this in the first place.

(Also if you see any kinds of errors - typos, broken links, information that I somehow got wrong, stuff from the ‘can’t figure out if/where it goes’ page that you know about - please let me know! Did my best to check on that stuff but also there’s just so much aha)

(also also if there’s any other sites etc with bug fables fan communities and you wanna drop the link (with credit) I also encourage that because. I am not active on anywhere else and they deserve to see it too)

#bug fables #an aquila original #more like aquila makes an easily readable textdump transcript of the bug game #feels weird doing an 'official announcement' style post when I've been talking about it for ages #so much that idk what to say here specifically. but also wanna be sure to get it out there for people #and I really wanted to have something to pin to my blog for people. so here we go! #edit: added in some stuff I was thinking about putting in an rb and then instantly changed my mind

Yeah yeah jedi Maul au we've all seen him. But what about senator Maul au. Representing Dathomir, a neutral world like Mandalore that is still somewhat hostile to outsiders. Wearing fancy clothes that show a bit too much skin for the cold climate of Coruscant. Falling in hate at first sight with Padmé, the only other senator who brings a gun to the senate floor "just in case". The two of them having a weird rivalry because Maul doesn't trust the Jedi and is neutral in a lot of subjects that Padmé is a vocal defender of.

#hm i should make an original post tag #maul #darth maul #padmé #<- she gets tagged too because she is very in my thoughts as i imagine this #sorry i watched the phantom menace bonus dvd and all the making of stuff made me Think #i want to put maul in fancy clothes and situations #he still votes with padmé in a lot of stuff btw. he just refuses to defend it out loud #because first of all he has his pride #second of all he's not here to speak for himself like all those selfish old men he's here on behalf of the tribes of dathomir #dathomir would probably have a lot more senators than the average world i think. since the tribes are not all unified #so maul would be like. the talzin clan and/or nightbrothers' senator. possibly the only male in the dathomir delegation #and more connected to the dathomir magics and martial arts than to sith philosophy #he'd probably hate both sith and jedi also. they're both freaks who worry too much about light and dark #also. this is half very similar to thoughts i have about an (unrelated) oc i have so i dont want to put this on the main post but also. #he'd probably have a lot of 'fans' who love him for his voice and looks instead of his politics #and i Knoww padmé has fans too. because she is a fashion icon. and very charismatic #so can you imagine. the hot politician fandom drama. #sorry i love creating stupid imaginary internet drama #this and my obimaul begrudging tumblr mutuals who hate each other au. i love creating virtual Situations #senator maul au

tbh it sucks so much we're limited by language barriers and other stuff. there are so many things and themes i'd like to mention, but only a bunch of people will understand. if a classic is written in a language different from english it's a hassle to get people from other counties to read it. sometimes it's translated without a care, sloppily, from a language that wasn't even the original one. sometimes it isn't even translated at all, left in obscurity

#this post is about wanting to talk to people here about literature but realising that nobody would know what im referencing #also translating can ruin stuff so bad. the callout in the middle is for Ferdydurke. that got its translation 24 years from the original #AND IT WASN'T EVEN TRANSLATED DIRECTLY. IT WAS TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH FROM FRENCH GERMAN AND SPANISH VERSIONS #IT GOT A PROPER ONE ONLY IN 2000. 63 YEARS. #sorry i just wish we had more diversity about the books we read. but im kind of a hypocrite aren't i #even i probably have more books in/translated from english than everything else. and i don't even live in english speaking country #eh #ramblings

Welcome to OCtober! The chance to draw your OC’s! Do you have an OC? Do you want to create an OC? Do you think they deserve more attention? Do you want an excuse to draw them more? Well, your good friend Bulk is here to tell you a secret— the ‘OC’ in October stands for Original Character!

I created this because I’d like to get into habit of interacting with my own original characters more often! The prompts were chosen to develop less fleshed out characters, but were kept vague enough to still be creative with more focused ones. Here is the run down:

1. The point is that it’s an original character! I suppose this can be an OC created within the context of a preexisting show, but I’d truly love to see your original material. I care about it, a lot actually! It deserves attention!

2. It is not a challenge. Pick one day, pick a week, do every other, do them all, do none— it’s whatever you’d like!

3. There are no material restrictions! You can create work digitally, traditionally, or you can even write! Write a blurb, write a description, create a diagram, do sketches, etc. etc.

4. Tag art/writing you make with these prompts as #bulktober22 so I’ll be sure to see it! I hope to reblog/like as many as I can.

5. Have fun! I’ll be doing them along with you with my own OC’s!

thanks <33

#feel free to reblog! #i just think it’ll be fun :o) #no pressure obviously! This is more for me but if anyone else finds it interesting than thats cool too! #i just want to encourage people to work on their original stuff more often even if it doesnt get as much attention is all #long post #inktober #bulktober22

[chaos-has-theories]

#would like to hear about your Egypian theory#does it relate to ba and ka and how the physicality of the cavalier's soul seems to survive the consumption and integration @mayasaura

It does a little! There was a theory a while back about the Eightfold Word being the cavalier's name, which did absolutely make my egypt senses tingle. You can read through a list of the Ancient Egyptian conception of the soul and find such bangers as "A person's name was an essential aspect of individuality and central to one's survival after death" or "The kꜣ (ka) 𓂓 was the Egyptian concept of vital essence, which distinguishes the difference between a living and a dead person, with death occurring when the kꜣ left the body" or "In the Egyptian religion, the heart was the key to the afterlife" and then you can cry a little about Kiriona -

But admittedly that's the kind of stuff that can be found in plenty of philosophies.

I'm more focused on the fact that every single lyctor can be mapped onto a major Egyptian deity, and every plot line so far onto a major Egyptian myth.

John and the OG Lyctors are the Great Ennead, with the Resurrection as the Heliopolitan Creation Myth. The Mithraeum follows the Journey of Ra through the underworld.

Harrowhark is Horus, and her fight with Cytherea mirrors the conflict between Horus and Set.

Alecto is Sakhmet, Nona is Hathor, both of them the Eye of Ra; Nona the Ninth is the 'Myth of the Distant Goddess' to a point where I'm embarrassed that I didn't realize so before the book came out.

Ianthe is Thoth.

(If you want to read my full 4000 word essay on it here you go, but that's the gist of it. Even more random ramblings under my tag #the egypt agenda.)

#i wrote that original post at a time when i was not quite on top of how tumblr works yet #also there is more a-coming i want to put the Nona/Hathor stuff into proper words I just haven't found them yet #also also don't worry i didn't think you'd forgotten about all the other influences on these books i've just never seen anyone but me #talk about the egypt stuff and decided to get on my soapbox #the locked tomb #chaos has theories #the egypt agenda

Picture a sculptor.

He sculpts an animal... and it was meant to be an elephant for a kids zoo, but because of the limits of his tools at the time, he stopped at the skeleton only.

And it's a great fucking skeleton! It's got that old feel to it, like a Rodin sculpture, but with a modern vibe.

The skeleton even has fans and stuff, and the fans go "we love this badass mammoth skeleton you sculpted!"

And this sort of bothers the sculptor. Because he was going for an elephant, not a mammoth, right?

So when he finally has the right tools, he completes the sculpture, so the next generation of fans can enjoy the elephant...

... and the previous generation of fans, who grew up reading and dreaming about a mammoth for 30 years, they go "wtf". They hate it.

Now, the sculptor takes on an apprentice, who is also a fan.

The apprentice learns the technique, learns how to look at the clay, how to get the right texture... and is able to do all this without going "wtf" because he looks at this elephant sculpture through an anti-establishment lens.

"Yes, it has shorter tusks and almost no hair, but the purpose of the sculpture is to say that it should be hairier, taller and with longer tusks. The whole point is that this elephant is failing to be the mammoth it's meant to be!"

And y'know, it's art! If that’s what this elephant means to him, great.

But once the tools are passed down to him, the apprentice (along with other sculptors) takes some clay and makes the tusks longer, adds some fur, shortens the ears, etc.

Overtime, he makes it a mammoth again.

Of course, most fans are happy again, including many who were introduced to the elephant as kids, because the transition was a slow one, done carefully.

And, hey, it's a nice mammoth!

My only issue is that I grew up loving the elephant, just as it was. I think the elephant was friggin’ great.

But nowadays, whenever the elephant is brought up, it's always through the lens of "it's failing to be a mammoth" rather than what the sculptor said it's supposed to be: just an elephant.

#George Lucas #Dave Filoni #this is probably a stupid metaphor but it's what I came up with #I'm not saying Filoni's content is “bad” I just think it's a pity we aren't seeing the original narrative intent much nowadays #And to be clear #Filoni was NOT the ONLY one reframing the elephant as a mammoth #it's a whole bunch of authors who worked on SW post-Prequels #From EU writers to current canon writers #I'm not pointing the finger and saying “FILONI IS THE ISSUE” #On the contrary if you look at his early TCW stuff you see his portrayal of the Jedi is much more charitable than say Karen Traviss' #It's a whole generation of fans who wanted to still like Luke and Star Wars DESPITE the Prequels #and concluded the only way this was possible was to see them as a commentary on the Jedi's failure #When the fact is: y'all just didn't think the Prequel Jedi were likeably-written... you were hoping for more Luke Skywalker #instead you got a bunch of ambassadors mediating between corporations and politicians #And GL was adamant the Prequels were about Anakin and the Republic and how Sidious helped them both corrupt themselves

Alright, Because Cyril is my favourite character I’ve been binging through his playlist and have made new headcanons and/or want to accentuate what’s been implied/canon. (Also I want another try to make my last headcanons more accurate. I fear I mis-characterised him.)

I think a good one to start off with is that Cyril low-key admits to reading a bit of everything.. as in everything. In my head, the first thing I thought was dark romance, smut and I want to say he’s looked at some fan-fiction of some sort.

During his ninth audio he apparently has to ‘tidy’ some things. I severely doubt it’s actually dirty because.. It’s Cyril. I can imagine some dishes in the sink or an empty bottle or two lying around due to overworking but compared to like, Rival/Dove’s(who’s name I only recently discovered.) ‘Overflowing trash bin’ in audio 3 then it’s pretty good. (That’s my headcanon.)

I really want to say that it’s something considered ‘normal’ to the average person like ‘Unique’ types of literature or even just some dirty clothes in the corner of the room. Or hell, even just a bin full of used tissues from ‘allergies’ that he’s embarrassed about because he has a reputation to uphold.

Going back to the ninth audio, I noticed he mentioned an institute apartment and I got a bit of an unlikely but not impossible idea for that. I don’t think Faustin or Reuben are necessarily abusive to Cyril or anyone, I just don’t think Cyril enjoyed living under their roof and so he instead rented a room in the institute apartment. I don’t think it’s completely impossible that Cyril just felt like moving out and into an apartment near his work, if anything it does sound like something he’d do.. I just think it’s a little too plain of an idea and no character can be completely happy. I can’t help but also want to mention that Cyril apparently refers to Reuben enough as ‘Reuben’ that Dove/Rival has been able to read and understand when somethings happened between them. Again, not strange that Cyril doesn’t call him ‘Papa’ or anything alike, Especially in the workplace. It just happens enough that Dove/Rival notice when somethings happened between them.

Also, For the longest time I didn't realise Faustin, Reuben and Cyril were all related (Until I found the post of everyone's last names.) and somewhere in Audio 3 Cyril almost slips up and calls Faustin 'Father' which - no comment, Just thought it was really cute and really neat.
