Favorite rewritten scene from TPB? Any scenes you think would fuck if they were animated? Dont worry why im asking its not important <3

Hmmmm....

Well, BB!TPB is probably the least changed arc to begin with! Better Bones is a project that is basically trying to deliver on the themes I liked in the first 5 books; a flawed society is on the verge of birthing a great monster, a reckoning generations in the making, which can only be saved by the very outcasts their culture seeks to destroy.

So I'm not adding too much to it which isn't just building up the culture some more, adding personality to some background characters (especially mollies), or shoring up cats in ShadowClan.

I've got an old post floating around somewhere about my goals and a basic summary for each book, but here's a MASSIVE ramble about things I plan to add

The three MAJOR cool scenes in here though?

Rusty's Collar

Deerfoot's Sabotauge

Scourge's Collar

Into the Wild: Opening stuff, ThunderClan expansions, Rusty's Collar

For one, DAPPLETAIL has a much bigger role as Firepaw's first teacher. Rusty speaks Townmew; he needs to learn Clanmew.

So I might make the meeting with Graypaw earlier, or just have a bit more of a transitional period where he's "living with a paw in both worlds" before he gets named Firepaw

He also is able to see and take part in some of the Expanded Roles, while still learning Clanmew.

Frostfur is Head of Kitchen Patrol, pregnant, and overworked. Rusty likes her though, he can't always tell what she's saying but he learns she calls him the "Intense Gingerthing (affectionate)" and she's got cool scars

Tigerclaw might be Head of Hunting, or his cousin Willowpelt. Undecided yet; Willowpelt will be taking over after he becomes deputy though.

I forgor who is Construction Head at the moment, probably Mousefur. In any case it's a molly, One-eye has been retired for a long while.

Dappletail is the Educator, naturally, and she hangs out with Ravenpaw and her son Graypaw. Ravenpaw has a habit of telling tall tales.

The adult he's closest to though? Spottedleaf, the Cleric, like a big sister.

IMPORTANT: Rusty's time as a not-apprentice comes to a hard end with his battle against Longtail. Probably because he now understands enough Clanmew to know he's talking shit.

This time though, we're setting up some foreshadowing lads

Unlike other depictions of the collar removal where it's framed like the triumphant moment he enters the Clans, with a beam of sunlight revealing to Bluestar that he is the cat of great prophecy, his collar being snapped off comes with trembling fury and anxiety

He was terrified and angry in that moment! He's been bullied by Longtail, it just came to physical blows, and he was being choked by his collar digging into his throat so he couldn't breathe. When it suddenly SNAPS, he's hacking and coughing, but the whole Clan is cheering at the spectacle, it's like...

He's being told he's just proved himself. The joy of finally getting what he's really wanted, of landing a mark on his bully and being CELEBRATED for it, it starts to wash away the fear and fury.

It's sudden, like whiplash. He's trembling, he's growling, he's smiling. His stomach is rolling and he doesn't know which emotion is turning it.

Then, his collar is buried. He only sees it out of the corner of his eye, Dappletail (someone he likes) digging a little hole and dropping it in. Like getting rid of something dirty. He can't identify the emotion that prickles his heart in that moment, and to his dying day he never learns the word for it.

But it's going to be the same thing he feels, much much later, after the roar of the BloodClan battle has gone quiet and he's staring at the collar he ripped off Scourge. He spared the leader's life and caused the group to retreat... but, looking at that collar, so lovingly studded with trophies not unlike the ivory Clan cats take from boar hunts...

He realizes that it's meaningful. To Scourge. He can't go far enough to admit that his own collar meant something to him... but...

it would be wrong to just discard this. This emotion drives him to eventually approach Scourge and BloodClan again, in the Epilogue, returning the collar as a gift of goodwill and re-opening discussion about Tigerstar's Impossible Deal. These talks open up a new era of peace and trading between Chelford and the White Hart, until TNP brings it to a tragic end.

But anyway!

Ally Expansions + Deerfoot's Sabotage

In an effort to establish that the Clans have unique subcultures, and that the cats within them are unique individuals, BB!TPB needs more positive supporting cast in more than just WindClan.

GATHERINGS NOW HAVE AFTERGATHERINGS. This is like a discreet afterparty, which adult warriors can choose to attend by simply staying behind when their leadership returns home.

Fireheart regularly attends them until the moment he becomes leader.

A few of his friends in other Clans are Aftergathering regulars. Onewhisker, Mosspelt, Wetfoot.

Some others are just occasional visitors. Mistyfoot is brought along by her sis-in-law, Mosspelt, once or twice. Morningflower comes to do some trades.

(at his FIRST aftergathering he gets to meet Carpwhisker and Cinderfur. These two are noted to stop coming when the political tides harden.)

Because this is the Thistle Era, the Aftergathering is much smaller than it will be in a few generations.

They're also still careful to not leak too much information outside of their own Clans, and the ShadowClan cats are even particularly excited at Fireheart's first Aftergathering because it was difficult to regularly attend these while Brokenstar was leader.

DEERFOOT is a MUCH expanded character. Son of Lizardstripe, brother of Runningnose and Tangleburr, Deerfoot is involved in opposing both Brokenstar, and later NIGHTSTAR when he feels he's going against what Deerfoot fought so hard for.

And, most famously and most fatally, he's the head of the TigerClan Rebels.

Much as I like Ravenpaw... he's not getting his cameo at Stonefur's execution. No, I'm not going to be having the HalfClan cats rescued by Graystripe's bad feeling and also Ravenpaw is there. Freeing the prisoners was an action that came from WITHIN TigerClan.

Deerfoot is going to be beseeching Firestar for it. I haven't figured out EXACTLY how yet, but I'm thinking that it's after Darkstripe was exiled (suddenly, Tigerstar no longer has a mole in ThunderClan) and he's able to ask for Firestar's help openly and honestly, and tell him how many cats will need refuge if the plan is successful.

Being leader now, and not JUST a deputy, Firestar has to consider the way it might drag his Clan into conflict with a huge opponent... which Deerfoot assures won't happen, because his forces have a process. Using ochre and onion, they obscure themselves completely. Not a single one's been caught-- besides the ones who were picked up for the "crime" of being HalfClan.

Deerfoot is going to be killed for what he does here, saving so many lives. So he won't pay for the little trick he's going to pull.

While applying Firestar's ochre and onion, just before entering the camp to rescue the HalfClan cats (and finding they've started an execution early-- with Stonefur), Deerfoot draws back to look at his handiwork. Not a single fleck of his bright, unmistakable orange fur is peaking through his disguise.

So he clicks his tongue, "I've missed a spot." With a rub of his paw, the ochre around the ThunderClan leader's eyes is smudged. Just enough that anyone locking with those green eyes would see the fire poking out from beneath.

Later, when Firestar learns of this after Deerfoot's death... he chuckles with equal parts bitterness and admiration. Most of Deerfoot's Rebels had to go right back to living in TigerClan, and knowing Firestar was leading the battle patrol would take suspicion off them... but, knowing his old, lost ally... a bigger part of it was that Deerfoot was hoping that information would reach Tigerstar and BURN into him.

Compassionate and spiteful to the last, that Deerfoot.

Darkest Hour: BloodClan and Scourge's Collar

I think if I was going to rename the individual books, I'd call the last book of BB!TPB "The Moment of Truth."

BloodClan is keeping the way that it's not important until the last book. Aside from an offhanded mention here and there and a run-in with some peons that replace the rats that attack Bluestar, they're not relevant until the moment they're introduced.

I do want to keep how SURPRISING it was to see them suddenly roll up, keep that feeling that they're brutal, unsettling, foreign. When Tigerstar loses his shit on Scourge for not following his order and attempts to kill him, I want to keep how cold, sudden, and BRUTAL that ending was.

But... when Scourge FIRST appears on screen, he looks much different from the Iceheart he will eventually become. He begins to look less "monstrous" and more like a PERSON as Firestar realizes that they're not so different.

Scourge has no pupils at first. His eyes are solid, icy blue.

He also has no mouth when he isn't about to bite, no lip synch when he talks. Like he's just existing ominously onscreen, wind ruffling his spiky, ungroomed fur.

Before the killing of Tigerstar, it's noted that Scourge's speech is odd, and hard to understand. But, you can sort of make out his intent if you listen carefully.

Firestar recognizes that he is speaking Townmew, his own first language.

Tigerstar doesn't really respect him enough to listen, until he barks an order and Scourge tells him, "...My cats move when I command them, and not before."

Like canon, Firestar steps forward to speak with Scourge. Unlike canon, he very intentionally begins speaking Townmew.

ALSO like canon, when Firestar explains Tigerstar's crimes, that he will never honor any bargains he has made, and thus that they can't be trusted, he rolls that Nat20 and Scourge tells him that there will be no battle today as he thinks about this new information.

And, of course, Tigerstar lost his marbles about this. And also his organs

And Scourge is SEETHING. That's his LAST straw. He made a deal and he is NOT being given what he is owed, he tried to gracefully walk away only for Tigerstar to disrespect him for the last time, and he's SICK. AND. TIRED. Of backstabbing, DISHONORABLE CLAN CATS.

And YET. He remains cool. And he tells Firestar directly, "In light of this, I have changed my mind. We will be taking what we are owed. You have three days to leave, or it will come to combat."

Another big change from canon is that no Clan needs to be convinced to fight. It's a battle culture. They were ALWAYS going to win, or die in glorious combat. Running away is not an option in this era-- they believe their eternal reward is up in StarClan.

But Firestar CAN unite them, bring them together to discuss battle plans. And in this first day...

TigerClan is dismantled. Though Leopardstar tries to cling to her newfound leadership of TigerClan; both Shadow and River are clearly tense and demoralized. Anxious and snappish warriors are mulling about the camp.

and STILL, Firestar is dealing with a bunch of cats who are openly disrespecting him.

Even when he reminds them, "YOU brought him to the Forest! Tigerstar's deal was HALF our land and I could pull LionClan out at any time! I'm trying to HELP YOU"

Darkstripe in particular is still here with his little xenophobic jabs. And he is Xenophobic Jabbering.

In spite of the guilt Leopardstar feels, and the resentment that Blackfoot is starting to feel for Tigerstar and the position he's being thrust into, they're still DIFFICULT, not giving Firestar clear answers about if they're going to come talk battle strategies or not.

Firestar can't believe this.

They're really gonna do this. Say that TigerClan can take care of its own problems.

They're just gonna try and hold onto their scraps of pride and charge into battle, NO plan, because they think they're above him.

After ALL OF THIS, EVERYTHING thats happened, the times they've fought and he's won, becoming deputy, even earning the authority of a leader...

They're STILL not taking him seriously.

This prompts Firestar to end up losing it, the "I saw what you did to Stonefur" speech to Blackstar is moved here, addressed to BOTH of them.

But this time, there's even MORE victims. He lists ALL of them, plus the refugees still in his camp.

And they're gonna kill even MORE cats? What? To be the smuggest corpses in the GROUND?

OR MAYBE THE HAPPIEST LITTLE SKULLS ON THEIR STUPID HILL.

It SHUTS them up.

Leopardstar, in particular, clearly haunted by this... her own father, Mudfur, is one of those refugees. And she is staring intently at some of the bones on the hill.

Unfortunately, her remorse will not stick. Distance will make Blackstar more ashamed, but Leopardstar begins to look back with nostalgia.

But FOR NOW? It MATTERS.

Darkstripe comes in with another little comment, and she snaps at him.

Then she turns back on the Bonehill, and says the, "This belongs to a darker time" line.

Firestar also ends up visiting with Barley Sr, Jr, and Ravenpaw. Chatting about reasons why Ravenpaw still doesn't want to come back, even though Tigerstar is gone.

And about BloodClan, as Barley Senior comes from there. Bone is his mother (though due to some timeline things I'm considering her being his sister; and then Hoot and Jumper are littermates OR cousins of Junior.)

Ends up explaining a bit about the history, how it was formed because of Oakstar, the context of the descendant of Oakstar turning on Scourge like that

Plus why Barley Sr left. His time as a solver, the death of Violet Sr, the way BloodClan demands tribute to keep its cats fed.

And while BloodClan has issues... Firestar is realizing... so do the Clans.

Violence, blood feuds, war... xenophobia. He's still seething over that exchange from earlier.

Firestar's anxious over the big fight, and the people he knows he will lose. GOOD people. The battle won't discern the crackerjacks from the jackasses; people he loves will die. He HAS to win. And yet, his feelings towards Scourge feel frustratingly conflicted.

On the second day...

Finally he's getting somewhere with the other four Clans. Everyone's preparing properly, learning how to fight TOGETHER and not just as four separate entities.

But in ShadowClan, he catches POISONS. Runningnose and Blackfoot are planning to go into battle using the same tactics they used against WindClan-- things that won't kill right away, but will cause inevitable infection and kill slowly, and painfully.

And they're showing OTHERS about it, too.

And this UPSETS Firestar

But, AGAIN, he's able to talk to them. They have a point-- if BloodClan is going to use those claw-weapons, they ALSO have an unfair advantage.

Firestar, about to invent Rules of Engagement: "If they weren't going to use them though?"

That's how Firestar ended up in a british back alley. Meeting with BloodClan.

Scourge is cold and polite, as always, makes a comment about him being early.

Firestar tells him about the poisons, how he's seen them be used before, and how they will kill slowly,

Scourge is torn... at first, thinking it might be a lie, but then the shock of what might happen sets in. He asks, "and why would you warn us about this?"

"Because it's the right thing to do. We're fighting for our home and you're fighting for your promise; It should be a fair fight."

"which means you're reigning them in, then?"

Nods, "If you use the claw extenders, they're going to use an unfair advantage of their own"

As they dig deeper into the conversation, Scourge loses his patience.

"Enough. I've heard enough lies from Clan cats, forest fool. You untrustworthy lot NEVER uphold your end of the bargain, you come here to weaken us but we will not be tricked by a dishonorable foe ever again."

It's starting to hit Firestar now. Scourge... is kinda right.

He's RIGHT to be so distrustful of Clan cats. To think they're dishonorable. He's seen them all himself; liars, hypocrites, cowards, all of them allowing EVIL things to be done to innocent cats.

The pause seems to last days, but it's clear to Scourge he's thinking deeply about what he said.

When Firestar looks up he tells him, "I understand. But I am honorable."

Scourge laughs at that. The whole alley does.

But he stands firm. He will uphold HIS end. "And when you come tomorrow, you will see that I've held my people to it."

"Then you're a greater fool than I thought, weakening yourself."

"Tigerstar believed that honor made us weak," he says with defiance, "and you killed him. I buried him. Now he is dead; don't choose to keep his memory alive."

AND ON THE THIRD AND LAST DAY

When they all come to face off at Fourtrees, it is seen, most of BloodClan is not wearing their extenders.

And most of the Clan cats do not have deathberry-red claws.

There are just some. On both sides.

Scourge is not one of them. His claws are his own

Fire and Scourge step foward in the center, their armies behind them.

Scourge quietly points out the irony in a hushed tone, for what he is about to say could have offended either army;

"Two fools, alike in their dignity. Perhaps in another time we would have been Brothers-in-Honor, you and I."

Brother-in-Honor = Townmew term for someone who unites you through a shared, noble cause.

But Firestar is done. He had to say goodbye to many of his cats this morning, he doesn't know who will live and who will die. The Warriors stand behind him, proud and noble, but terrified to their core. He knows this.

This is their HOME. And he is the holy leader of ThunderClan, bearing the fragment of a star within him.

He's lost his patience, and his sympathy. When he responds, it's loud enough for both armies to hear. (Note: Ever so slightly performative)

"Last chance, Scourge! One step further, and you'll meet the full might of the Warrior Clans."

"Two fools," the little cat laments, "One far more foolish than the other!"

He screeches for BloodClan to attack, and like canon, Firestar loses track of Scourge in the torrent of angry cats

Battle otherwise goes very similar to canon. Out of left field, Darkstripe turns on Firestar with deathberry-red claws, furious and embarassed that he took Tigerstar away and prevented them all from fighting with "every advantage"

Graystripe. One-Man Firestar Defense Squad, body checks him and kills him, trembling in disbelief and immediate regret over his brother's body

Whitestorm loses his fight with Bone and falls, bleeding, to the ground

As he dies, he tells Firestar to let go of his grudges. He was wronged, he was hurt, but please don't let that stop him from making the right choice. Longtail should be deputy.

Firestar announces Longtail is his deputy right there.

The apprentices dogpile Bone in revenge, though I also wouldn't mind changing it. In any case, Bone's dead before Willowpelt can even realize her mate is gone

When he finally sees Scourge again, they grapple ferociously until the little cat breaks loose

Trying to avoid the grallocking move that ended Tigerstar in a blow and not knowing Scourge can't do that without his claw extenders, he pulls back and leaves himself wide open for a vicious transverse slash

He's split open from neck to arm, he can feel himself bleeding out

Scourge looks at him with pity but says nothing, flicking his claws like he's wicking the blood from a sword.

Game_Over.png

Firestar's vision fades into flashing stars and bursts into the silver-and-blue lights of StarClan

He sees the faces of everyone who he's lost, everyone he couldn't save. Spottedleaf who died in a raid. Stonefur whose execution came too soon. Pikepaw who refused to take refuge with his mother. That old bastard Deerfoot. Whitestorm whose blood is replaced with fresh stars.

Yellowfang comes forward, threading constellations like stitches through his gash, snipping at him to stop wriggling like a worm. Spottedleaf is also helping in a way he doesn't understand, licking his fur the wrong way and returning his lost blood like a Mi returns warmth to a cold kitten.

He smiles, filled with the wonderful sensation of a Sharing of Stars, until it hits him again that he needs to go back

Hmm.. maybe ill have it so Whitestorm had no last words and he gives them here. "Don't let the grudges of the past ruin the future. Make the choices you know are right."

Bring the theme together; he was talking about Longtail, but Firestar interprets it differently.

And when he wakes up in his body, gash aching but skillfully closed by the best healers he ever knew, he feels like they filled his veins with a lion's blood.

He grins, a mixture of humor and righteous fury. He didn't know Scourge's tricks, but he doesn't know HIS either.

Scourge has his back turned, focused on Onewhisker who's cowering in front of him. Firestar bowls into him, catching him off guard

"You! You died! I killed you!"

"I played dead."

With a second bolt of strength, Scourge tries to turn it around and they tumble, hissing and spitting, but the little cat doesn't get a second chance

He's pinned like prey, one paw holding his head and the other pulling down his shoulder, growling like an animal with its neck exposed for a brutal killing bite

Firestar lunges down and Scourge screeches, a horrible crack of teeth on bone quiets the battlefield

And then a SNAP

The sun glimmers on the bloodstained collar's fangs, one of the teeth cracked by Firestar's jaws, as he throws it behind him

Scourge's face is truly apparent to Firestar for the first time, his icy eyes wide with astonishment

Firestar recites the beautiful words that had once been made hollow by hypocrisy, "A true warrior does NOT need kill to win their battles," but he presses his paw into Scourge's pulse as a warning, "DO they?!"

He lifts his paw, and Scourge calls for BloodClan to retreat

Though the warriors are shocked at first, they saw his collar ripped off and his black fur soaked in his own blood, and understood they were losing

Just as united as any Forest Four following the command of a leader, each warrior disentangled as quickly as possible and streamed out behind their bolting leader

Some warriors ran after them to chase them out, and came back a few minutes later

And just like that, it was over. They were gone.

But, that collar is laying there, in the light of the setting sun. The inner fabric is purple, covered in a layer of red and brown from a mix of fresh and dry blood. Various teeth poke through, which he now realizes are from various predators.

Firestar gazes at it and feels Rusty's heart beating. He has that strange, indescribable feeling again.

It's... just like Clan cat hunting trophies, yes. It's a valuable, meaningful object to Scourge. It's a spoil of war made of spoils of war. That's why it's stirring his chest, surely. There's something... deeper to this item. It shouldn't be discarded; this item needs to be kept safe.

Or, perhaps, returned.

From there, the epilogue is gravy. When Firestar arrives in the alley again, this time flanked by several cats, Scourge is still recovering from his many injuries. He feels like he's been seeing Firestar's face too often-- and then the collar is gently placed on the ground.

Just like Firestar expected, there's an energy that washes over the gathered cats, and even the unreadable Scourge now seems awestruck by the gesture. The collar was something greater than just a collar; though Firestar couldn't remember if he had ever been told what a BloodClan collar represented.

Speaking, again, in Townmew, he explains that Tigerstar made Scourge an Impossible Deal, which the treacherous tyrant never meant to honor in the first place. But he is dead. BloodClan cannot have the territory and the Clan cats have won it fairly-- but what CAN we do for you? What were you seeking?

The answer was so simple that it was almost sickening. That they'd come to blows, and cats had died, over something that could have been worked out so easily. BloodClan had plenty of food from the humans' excess and hunting in the wilderness was not a skill they ever had anyway. What they wanted was materials.

Wood. Flowers and herbs. A chance to walk along the hiking trail and see the giant trees. Maybe the occasional piece of prey they didn't have access to in the town, like squirrels and frogs.

So, for a while. There was peace in the Forest, bringing the Tiger Era to a definitive close and beginning the fruitful, but short-lived Fire Era.

So! Them's the major changes. Take your pick of the scene you think is coolest, personally I've got a thing for Firestar ripping off Scourge's collar.

Ok so a lecturer of the university but from a different field wanted to fucking kiss me 💀 And probably other things.

It's a long story short: after a lecture I attended, after 8pm I went to a bar to eat something because I havent eaten anything since breakfast. I ate a sandwich, read a book, drank a coffee and was halfway another one when I started playing with a set I've got from the lecture in the said bar. A group of three men seemed genuinely interested and they invited me to their table so I thought: Sure why not. I explained the stuff, got really autism happy I can talk about something that interests me. Then we talked and talked about different subjects, eventually two of the guy's friends, gay and a pair btw, left. Then the shit started.

Dude is almost 40, has children, CALLED ME "KID" and like. Dude. I told you I'm from ace spec. I am not interested in white men. Literally said "Somehow I only find Asian and Native American men attractive". I'VE ONLY BEEN WITH ASIANS. I told him to get his hand off me. He did. We were taking about some sexual shit, because I've got that stupid sexshop magazine, but got I was so... technical and sceptical about the things I've seen. He was making some jokes and I was like "Haha yeah" in a "not funny" way. Eventually I said that meh nothing interests me. I completely forgot that people may get aroused looking at such stuff and generally the topic of sex is rather taboo especially with a complete stranger. But oh well, my acespec ass forgor that only because my cunt doesn't care doesn't mean others' shit doesn't too.

When he was about to leave, because I kept rejecting him, he said:

"How about I kiss you and we call it a day."

"No, thank you. You have children and I do not support such behavior."

Hand on my goddamn thigh earlier. I thought he maybe was just doing a bit too touchy, but once it lingered in there for too long without looking at him from the magazine we were reading together I said "Don't touch me" in even colder tone that I anticipated. Completely different how we talked a moment earlier and moment after. Sure, he was drunk. And that's also why I pushed him away right away once I realized it wasn't just being touchy friendly.

I should have said something more about his children like "Do you really want Lila to have a father who wants to bang a girl 7 years older than her brother?". I should have said I pity him. Because really, I'm not even angry at him. I'm just sad that something pushed him to do that.

Once I got back home I felt so fucking sexrepulsive and despite the fact that nothing happened I had to very intensely wash my mouth and my intimate area, because I felt so fucking filthy. Demisexual experience yippie!! Not the first time. I did however made a remark that I feel like he added something to my coffee and he left feeling very down after he said he didn't add anything, but I think it hit him right.

Sigh. What a night. I'm safe, don't worry

A week or so ago, I made a post about Yukari's letter from episode 42 of Kamen Rider Agito, asking if anyone had turned the stylized English it was written in into a font. From what I could find, no one had.

So I did.

Say hello to Limitless Evolution, my first (and so far only) custom font, based off what's more or less the catalyst for the entire plot of the 2001 tokusatsu, Kamen Rider Agito. It's available in both OTF and SVG formats, and I've included the .txt save file for the website I used to make it, in case you want to mess around with that.

left: the screencap from my original post. right: the first paragraph of the letter, typed up in wordpad using the Limitless Evolution font.

And if you're wondering, here's what it says in readable English:

"In the beginning was Theos. Theos divided the light from the darkness, the day from the night, the firmament from the earth, and the land from the sea. Thus the world was finished."

A list of changes I had to make, for those curious:

The letter never uses the letters J, Q, X, and Z, so I had to come up with my own designs for them.

There are no parentheses, mainly because by the time I got to those characters, I couldn't think of any way to make them look good and consistent with the rest of the font.

Idk where else I can mention this but I realized partway through making this that, because all of the characters use straight lines, the Unknown (or whatever entity is responsible for this "language") likely used to write on wax or stone, since straight lines are much easier to legibly write with on those surfaces. Of course, this means there are absolutely no curves anywhere in this font (at least in the custom characters).

You might notice a few re-uses of specific characters here and there in other characters. Had I not done that, I 100% would've gotten burnt out halfway thru and never finished this.

The numerals are obviously not Arabic. I took inspiration from the weird "gang signs" the Unknown do before they commit murder and made the signs for numbers look like fingers on hands. I imagine their counting system works exactly like Arabic/base-10 counting, just with different symbols.

I replaced the tilde with a "does not equal" sign. The tilde sometimes signifies "is approximately equal to", and I figured the Unknown probably wouldn't vibe with that kinda thing.

I was gonna make the @ sign the Agito symbol but I forgor. 💀

The dollar sign ($) is also custom. It's the symbol for G with a line thru it. The Unknown strike me as a culture that would use Gold, plus it looks kinda like a crystal, which they might also perhaps use.

The ampersand (&) and plus (+) use the same symbol. I figured they mean basically the same thing, so why not, y'know? Also I couldn't come up with a good design for it.

I literally just realized as I'm writing this that the lowercase M is only slightly smaller than the capital M, and the lowercase and capital Ns are the same size. My bad. When/If I make an updated version of this, I'll be sure to fix that.

I used the comma in like six different characters. It's not laziness, it's resourcefulness.

Lastly, the greater than (>) and less than (<) symbols are meant to represent people bowing/praying, since I figured the Unknown would probably see it as whichever number was more "powerful". Kinda like the alligator thing but with fighting instead of eating.

So yeah. If you want, you can download the font by clicking its name earlier in this post, or here if you'd prefer:

Lemme know if there's any improvements or adjustments I should make in the next version that may or may not come out some time in the near or distant future. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk. Hope you enjoy regardless!

Update: In case you missed it, I released an updated version of the font that adds parentheses, brackets, some diacritics, and other fun things. It, along with the original version are both downloadable from the Google Drive link above (hopefully). I’m still planning on updating it again in the future, so if you have any suggestions or issues you’d like to see fixed in the future, lemme know and I’ll see what I can do.

#kamen rider #kamen rider agito #kr agito #masked rider agito #agito #agito spoilers #font #fonts #custom font #custom fonts #thing i made #sorry if the inconsistent sizes of the letters bothers you #the thing i used to make the font was easy-ish to use in every aspect OTHER than that #and for some odd reason the thing they give you to test the font before downloading it just didn't work for me #but anyway imma go relax #it's 6:30 and i've been working on this since noon #i am so tired

is ok i ask can you do some tip for coloring? ps i try to coloring for my sun and moon but they look so bad X'D

HI. FUN FACT I DREW UP A RESPONSE TO THIS AND WAS LIKE "okay ill upload the photos and annotate it later" AND THEN I FORGOR. HERE'S WHAT I MADE FOR YOU.

This is generally my process when it comes to creating art as a whole and choosing colors for my art. I didn't use to do this, but recently I've begun using color-balancing tools to bring everything together! They really help in unifying the colors and pushing the contrast to where you want it to be. I used to feel guilty- like it wasn't "my own work" when I used these tools- but I spoke with a group of other artists and I came to realize that in the end, I still chose the colors and it was still Me! These tools are meant to be used in this way, and it's silly of me to not take advantage of wonderful tools because of my own pride.

This is going to be a long post, so all of my steps are under the cut!

1. The Drawing!

Pretty self-explanatory! Draw out the thing you want to draw. I like to keep my art as a sketch most of the time :)

2. Flat Colors!

I'll be honest- usually I approach colors more intuitively and based off of the ones I like the most, but I wanted to show you a more conscious approach! This image has a lot of information so I'll go through it step-by-step!

I made the background darker for higher contrast against the light colors of the design.

First, we'll look at the palette on the top right!

It's a little easier if you first have some colors to work with. This is my sona, and I already know it has red hair and light skin, so I can work with the colors around that! Depending on who you ask and what color wheels you look at, red is complimentary to both green (most commonly in color wheels) and cyan. Knowing this, and wanting the shirt to stand out against the red hair, I made it a pale green! I did similarly with the skin tone. The peach color is only a light tint of orange, so the complement would be blue! I noticed I had a lot of light tones so I chose a darker, desaturated tone of blue. Remember- complementary colors are more than just vaguely "complementing" the other color. Putting two complementary colors next to each other makes both of the colors stand out!

I felt as though I still needed another color, though! Because my red and peach colors are directly next to each other on the color wheel, they are analogous colors. I experimented a little bit and ultimately settled on using another analogous color as an accent- yellow! The brown of her eyebrows is more of a rogue color that might not necessarily fit most of the time- that's because it's more so meant to represent my Real Self, who has eyebrows naturally darker than its hair. Still, because brown is a darker tone of red (and orange), it worked out! The blush is also the skin tone, just slightly darker and with the hue shifted just slightly on the color wheel.

Next, we can look at color placement!

When choosing where to place your colors, it can help to have places where the colors are 100% locked in- for example, the hair and skin tone aren't something subject to change in this design. That means you can choose to place the colors around these two elements! Like I said earlier, I made the shirt a pale green because I wanted it to stand out against the red of the hair. I try to add variety in where the colors sit next to each other so that two different elements of the design aren't the same color. Knowing this, I made the shorts dark blue!

An important part of color choice is knowing when to reuse colors as well! Generally, the fewer colors you use the easier it is to work with them and make them work together. Using 2-3 main colors and finding places to reuse them throughout the design or drawing is a good way to keep your colors simple yet effective! You can also add an accent color that's meant to draw the eye to the most important parts of the design or piece! The two colors I reused within the design was the yellow accent color and the brown color of the eyebrows. The brown color is the one I want to focus on here because of its strategic placement in the shoes! I almost made the shoes yellow as well, but I found that the dark color of brown shoes against the light skin and the pose itself brought leads the eyes downwards. This is important so that the viewer takes in the entire piece! I also reused the pale green color (and some of the blue) as environment elements because I hadn't reused it in the design itself!

As a last note here, it's also very helpful to color your lines! This is totally subjective and up to you, though, depending on how it fits into your style and workflow. Because of the way I work, I set my lines to multiply and recolor them based on the colors around them.

Sometimes I explore with different color choices I wouldn't have normally chosen- like the purple around the edge of the skin! Without even realizing it, in hindsight, I believe I chose complementary colors for the lines as well (purple & yellow/orange).

3. Color Correction

Here's the finished base colors (without all of the writing over it!)

First things first- let's check the values!

What I'm looking for is to see if the values stand out well next to each other, and where my eyes are drawn to. What I see right now is that the shoes are where my eyes are drawn to first because of their dark color, and how my eyes are led back up by the plants and line of action. What I'm most aware of, though, is the lack of contrast between the hair and background. I could try to fix that!

Here are a few snapshots of my color-balancing process. I use a variety of the available tools, but most often I'm using Color Balance and Curves. These color changes are completely up to you and what you think looks better and more unified!

It's easier to see the differences if you open the images in new tabs and switch between them all. Notice the background becomes bluer, the colors change, and the values deepen?

These were the final colors I chose! Let's look at the values again.

Hm.. better! The values stand out better, but the problem with the hair still persists. I'll try to make the hair pop more with the final touches, but if it doesn't, I'll settle! I'm happy with all of the other color choices.

A little better! The white highlights help show the edges of the hair, and I attempted using a halftone to break up the hair and the background. They still blend in together, but I won't fiddle with it more! I've got a post to make, you see.

What do you think? C: Thank you for the ask, I hope this helps!

Here are some other resources that helped me with some similar topics! The colors you choose don't always have to be the actual color of the object you're drawing- the colors around influence how we perceive other colors. Knowing how to use these colors is useful!

Hello I sent this as an ask to Crab but forgor he's busy. This is a 2 in 1 :] did Crab's and your request in one silly fic :3

"Baking! How hard could it be?" Hinoka said, far too confidently for her own good.

"Azama says it's easy, and we have a recipe book," Setsuna added.

She had snatched Azama's cookbook from his bag while he wasn't looking. Unbeknownst to her, he had seen her, but he didn't mind that she borrowed it.

Her and Hinoka took to the kitchen, book in hand.

"These cookies look good!" Hinoka suggested, "I'll check for ingredients."

Hinoka searched the cabinets, finding just about everything she needed while Setsuna looked for bowls, spoons and a... Cup?

"The recipe doesn't specify how big the cup should be," she murmured.

"I guess it depends on how many cookies you want," Hinoka said.

And so they began. Hinoka measured a cup of flour, pressing it down and adding more ("You can fit more if you press it, they obviously want you to do that!" she said) while Setsuna looked for a whisk.

"What's this baking soda thing?" she wondered aloud.

"I dunno, it tastes weird though so I don't think we should add it," Hinoka replied.

- - -

Ten minutes later

- - -

"AZAMA!" Hinoka slammed the door open.

He calmly set his book aside, looking at the princess, "Oh dear, what is it, Hinoka?"

"SETSUNA CUT OFF HER FINGER!" Hinoka shouted.

"I thought it'd be worse," he said, reaching for his staff and a roll of bandages, "I'll take care of it."

He followed Hinoka down to the kitchen, unsurprised to see that Setsuna had hardly reacted to such intense pain. He quickly got to work, first casting a numbing spell before beginning the slow process of magically reattaching the finger.

"What were you doing?" he asked.

"Cutting chocolate for cookies," she muttered.

"You know, you can cry if it hurts. This spell is pretty painful even with numbing spells."

"I'm fine."

"Your eyes are red."

Setsuna did not answer. She looked away and pinched her leg as more of her flesh reattached itself.

"Can I see the dough?" Azama asked.

"Sure! I think it's pretty good," Hinoka said, handing him the bowl.

He had to stop himself from physically cringing when he looked at it. It was poorly mixed and far too dry. Flour lined the edge of the bowl and the outside had somehow gotten dough on it as well.

"...I'm sure they'll be good!" he forced a smile.

They were not.

- - -

That night

- - -

Setsuna snuck down to the kitchen alone, careful to not wake anyone else. She held Azama's cookbook and a measuring cup she had borrowed from Mozu. Apparently, recipes always referred to those when they said cups.

When she opened the door, though, she heard a rustling.

"AAA- oh, it's just you, Setsuna!" Zola smiled.

"Oh, hi, Zola. I keep forgetting you're allowed to wander off without supervision," she muttered.

"Only cause of the silencing spell!" he chuckled, "What brings you here? I myself was just grabbing an evening snack."

Setsuna fell silent, holding the book and glass close to herself, "It's nothing."

"Aww you can tell me! I won't tell anyone, I pinkie promise!" he insisted.

"Fine... I uh- I was baking with Hinoka earlier but the cookies didn't turn out very good so I wanted to try again. For her."

Zola's face lit up like the sun and he flapped his arms, "Oh, oh! I love baking, I'd be happy to help you!"

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Setsuna gathered the ingredients while Zola found his favorite mixing bowl.

"This one has pretty flowers on the side!" he said, "I think you forgot baking soda."

"Hinoka said it doesn't taste very good," Setsuna muttered.

"Ah, it's not for flavor! It helps the cookies to rise and so they won't be rock hard."

Zola took to the cabinet and got the baking soda. He agreed not to measure the ingredients or even help mix, but directed Setsuna and she did.

"A cup of flour," he said.

Setsuna carefully poured it, stopping right at the top of the cup.

"Perfect! Now-"

She patted it down till it was under the seven eighths line and picked up the bag once more.

"No no! Don't do that!" Zola quickly said.

"Why not?" she asked.

"If you pack powders like flour and cocoa powder, you get more than necessary because the recipe assumes you know it's supposed to be airy."

"Ah, I see..."

She put the bag back down and poured in the measured flour before stirring.

"Can you cut the chocolate?" she requested.

"No, you're supposed to learn."

"... I cut off my finger when I tried earlier. I really don't wanna try again."

"Oh, I see."

Zols cut it without complaint and added it to the batter. By the end, it looked much nicer than the one Setsuna and Hinoka had made earlier.

"Can we bake it now?" she asked.

"Technically, yes, but it is midnight and doughs like this are often better when they've had time to sit. Put it in the cupboard with a cloth over it and we can bake it tomorrow morning," Zola smiled.

"Right," Setsuna muttered, "Thanks for helping me."

"But of course! Anything for my friend! And I do love cookies."

A soft smile spread on Setsuna's lips. She bade him goodnight, though she was unable to sleep at the thought of presenting such nice cookies to Hinoka.

AAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! PIE THIS IS SO LOVELY WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

setsuna just. standing in the middle of the kitchen completely unbothered over her new lack of finger is amazing. she is so peculiar/pos

AND ZOLA!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BEST FRIEND ZOLA!!!!!!!! YOU DID SUCH A GOOD JOB WITH HIS DIALOGUE IM GOING TO EXPLODE

them just making cookies….. zola just genuinely making a lil treat with setsuna….. the pals ever,,,

I hope this doesn't come off as offensive but does being a bi lesbian mean that you're a bisexual with a preference for women or only choose to be women?

-cj

it can, but it depends on the person. single labels like ‘bi’ or ‘lesbian’ can already mean different things in different contexts, so for combination labels, that goes double.

for me, personally? i just happen to be both bi and lesbian. i’m a lady who’s into ladies and dudes. for some people that would just be bi, but i like the word lesbian, so i use it. (sorry to the earlier asker to whose ask i said i would add this information and then i forgor 💀)

i do have an explanation tag, but keep in mind that there are posts in that tag that i’m not happy with and would prefer to write differently if i wrote them now, especially with regards to tone. it’s fair to get irritated by repetitive questions, but i don’t want the askers to feel like… scolded or discouraged, you know? you can also check out the explanation tag on bi-lesbian; i remember appreciating rouge’s patience with polite questions.

You've been posting about this "Rain World" thing a lot. Tell me what it is and how to get into it? Where do I start?

Alright here we go

Rain World is an indie game that i found out about earlier this year. Since then i got reaaally into the lore and ecosystem, since they're both very rich. You can buy the base game on Steam, though I'd recommend also getting the Downpour dlc since it adds a TON of new content and quality of life changes.

Though be wary. Rain World is incredibly difficult and even downright unfair at times, since the game really wants to put you in the shoes of a tenacious little creature that just happens to be at the bottom of the food chain, so you have to look out for predators and foes constantly.

If you're not particularly good at video games, especially at the "extra hard and frustrating 2d indie game" genre, then I recommend that you look up gameplays and lore videos online. Buuuut if you really do want to take the hard path and finish all the campaigns and scavenge for lore on your own then go ahead!

Ok now there you have it. the thing I've been obsessing over since like, february idk i forgor

I FORGOR TO PUT A TITLE WHEN I POSTED THIS SORRY. BEGINNING OF CH2 LIVEBLOG!!

-The Emo Community Has Forgiven Kaito Momota

-i’m far from the first person to point this out but there’s a lot of weird undertones between shuichi and food. he doesn’t eat breakfast, he complains about gaining weight easily in salmon mode, and once he says he would literally rather die than eat greasy food. him being raised by celebrities only adds to the concern,,,i would like to submit shuichi for the “gains weight post-trauma as a sign of Healing” trope pls

-the horse a message makes its appearance!! i’ve seen some people say kokichi wrote it, but i feel like tsumugi (well. probably one of the monokubs lets be real) wrote the og message and he just added to it. For The Funny.

-”so, you found that message while you were out chasing some bug? wooow, gonta! you did it! i knew i could rely on you since the moment we met!” “what? really?” “yep! so you should work for me!” gonta is smart enough to be useful and naive enough for kokichi to feel safe, so he latches on FAST. notably, tsumugi is the first one to be worried about it - i wonder if kokichi is afraid of bugs for a reason...?

-for a liar, kokichi seems real determined to make the others face uncomfortable truths. everyone stutters and shuffles awkwardly when shuichi walks in, but he loudly asks if he’s not wearing the hat because kaede is dead. he says to gonta’s face that he’ll be murdered if he keeps being so gullible, and then he mocks them all for “banning the k-word”. it’s interesting, and consistent with when he says he doesn’t like people lying to themselves. (and also with him being petty and bitter about everyone else’s lies being just fine).

-”...you look better now. i didn’t think you’d get over kaede’s death so quickly.” “...we don’t have time to be standing around.” “...how heartless. guess you two weren’t as close as you looked.” every time i think i like maki she says something so fucking cruel for literally no reason!!! a character being a jackass has never stopped me from liking them before (...obviously) but it’s the way no one ever seems to mind her saying shit like this. it just goes by unaddressed! it grinds my fuckin gears. crumbles my cookie even.

-”it’s okay. it’s easier for me to earn points if i pray. it’s a shortcut to a platinum membership!” LMAOOO. for real though irl japan has SUCH a big cult problem, it’s wild to me they didn’t write angie to reflect any of that aside from tiny lines like this?? the call of racism was stronger than that of good commentary apparently...

-they walk into kirumi’s lab and she immediately starts talking about the role of maids and other servants under queen victoria, shuichi starts talking about jack the ripper, and korekiyo starts talking about class divides in victorian-era england. the level of autism that oozes off everyone in v3 is truly unmatched, i love this game so much.

-shuichi consistently giving miu absolutely WITHERING stares is so fucking funny. he almost never even *says* anything to her, he just radiates such hatred she starts crying immediately. i’m a shuichi kinnie why don’t i get this power!!

-himiko’s lab has so many saws and knives and swords (also an ACTUAL GUILLOTINE) i’m continually shocked none of them were used for murder.

-(note: shuichi’s dialogue sounds a bit sad when typed out, but he’s smiling for this entire conversation and so is tenko.) ”i can’t believe what happened in the dining hall earlier...males are so insensitive! i wouldn’t ever dare to ask why you decided to remove your hat! that’s something that should be kept private between you and kaede!” “thank you, tenko...” “i...also feel that i must carry on kaede’s wish. no matter what, we’ll get out of here! i won’t give up! shuichi, don’t ever conduct yourself in such a shameful manner ever again!“ “ah, yeah...i won’t.” shuichi 🤝 tenko: LOVING KAEDE SO FUCKFJ MUCH. i like kaito but i am constantly thinking about an au where tenko trained shuichi instead - they have such an endearing and uplifting friendship in these moments where tenko isn’t reduced to her One Joke. they high five on their way to smooch kaede and that’s very important to me!!

-”if you don’t like something, [monokuma]’ll fix it. so don’t get rid of it...please don’t get rid of...me.” “very bad when lady who act like that preys on you.” gonta noooooo D: at least he knows it’s bad, he doesn’t usually acknowledge when people are shit to him :[

-gotta thank tsumugi for tempering the reveals of her no good very bad storyline with shuichi ass shots, i would not have survived otherwise.

-oh look it’s the bit where JP kaito says a slur. anyway,

-”eh? you think i’m messing around right now? aw man, you really don’t get it. i’m trying to get this through to everyone...if you keep saying all this stuff about “working together” and “cooperating”...then you can expect to receive some painful retaliation. get it?” infuriating that kokichi can just Say his reasoning for his behavior through at minimum chapters 2-3 and it just gets glossed over. shuichi does at least try to ask what he’s suggesting, but he gets cut off by kaito threatening violence and kokichi (understandably) bolting. still, i would expect at least a flashback to this from him after the insect meet n greet??? mr detective???? no thoughts head empty??????????

-THE PLAYTHROUGH I’M WATCHING HAS ABRUPTLY DECIDED TO STOP SKIPPING THE FTES???? WE’RE WATCHING ONE OF KAITO’S NOW I FUCKING GUESS. CONSISTENCY? DON’T KNOW HER!

-they did one of kokichi’s next...i don’t know if i can say anything about it that hasn’t already been said, haha. the machiavellian lengths kokichi will go to for attention remain iconic.

-that’s the end of day six! see you all next time for the ch2 motive! (kaede died *yesterday*, jeez...)
