Estimating Twisted Wonderland's Circumference ONCE AND FOR ALL

howdy. In this post, I once attempted to figure out the circumference of Twisted wonderland. Instead, I failed, and just went mad collecting screenshots of random spheres that weren't/might be globes modeling the planet.

that's not important. What IS important is the rant about the map that we DO have that followed. y'see, it looks like this.

Tilted. Cropped. Incomplete. Utterly infuriating. Anyway, we're gonna be working with my SUPERIOR map projection for this theory post.

yeah it's literally just tilted so that North points straight up. There's almost no way to really tell what latitude location is or how large it is compared to the rest of the world... EXCEPT...

...FOR THE CLIMATES.

it's pretty easy to label the middle section as "temperate," since summers are hot, winters are snowy, and every other season is pretty comfortable.

The northern parts of the Coral Sea can be determined as arctic or near-arctic, because Azul and the tweels don't bother being there during the winter due to the ice covering the water's surface. The furthest south that winter sea ice extends on earth is the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, at 43 degrees north.

Last but not least, as Sunset Savanna is based on the setting of the lion king, that makes it a tropical savanna. The most northern tropical savanna on earth is the Terai–Duar savanna at the base of the Himalayas in India, at 27 degrees north.

Therefore, this whole (VERY inexact) area I marked on this map that holds the temperate zone is around 16 degrees of Twisted Wonderland's latitude, possibly more.

Now, we don't exactly have a giant perfect ruler that we can use for reference. but we DO have the next best thing: Sage's Island!

And 16 degrees of Twisted Wonderland's latitude seems to beeee…

22 Sage's Islands long!

So this lil island is about 0.727 degrees long.

Now, I'm none too confident in my island-length-guessing ability. So i gotta say Sage's Island is like... maybe 3 miles long, north to south.

Soooo... 3 miles is 0.727 degrees in Twisted Wonderland.

That means 1 degree is 4.126 miles.

And that means the full 360 degrees of Twisted Wonderland's circumference is... drumroll please...

...

1,485.36 miles/2390.46 kilometers.

Give or take, I mean. I'm not a scientist. I don't even play Twisted Wonderland.

PLEASE understand that is a TINY amount. Earth's circumference is 40,075.017 km. PLUTO has a circumference of 7,231 km. Twisted wonderland is smaller than Pluto.

We were ROBBED of Yuu being capable of jumping 50 feet in the air due to the weaker gravity.

#i guess you could say... #it's a small world after all #heheheHA #shitpost #twisted wonderland theory #twst #cartography #'yuu's power is beast taming/cooperation/being blunt.' No their power is their 50 FOOT VERTICAL LEAP #can you tell i read too much of John Carter of Mars #this whole theory falls apart if sea ice and tropical regions just extend farther in Twisted Wonderland for some reason #or if the map isnt to scale at ALL #it also falls apart if.. yknow... the world is flat. #which it might be. we dont have confirmation of a round world for TWST.

very pleased with how it WORKS though, even if the actual braid chunk needs more tweaking shape-wise. check it out, no need to worry about stretching it out super long if you want a longer braid. dont need to lop off the ends if you want a shorter one. it just goes along with the length of the curve :)

#that was sooo annoying to troubleshoot #i just made my damn braid chunk too big i needed to apply the scale #to make it smaller #so it would fit the length of the curve ♥ #there WILL be cleanup required after applying the modifiers like cleaning up the start and end #and possibly making the overall braid a little less uniform so it doesnt look so mechanical #but generally? big fan so far. #time saver! #and i got some ocs with some LONG fucking braids #so this is gonna be a great thing to get set up lol #i have to work on the texture too bc im using simmandy's textures #for my dev stuff atm #but there isnt really a great/convincing spot to map the braids on there #but its an easy enough fix probably #uh... braids are gonna be kinda rough to do ombres on but. maybe if you painstakingly re-map all the braid chunks after applying mods then #maybe itll work out #i dunno! #simoleon

[gibbearish]

like theres not a lot of games im REALLY good at so when there are ones i latch on super hard. and boy have i latched on to this one

#and i think part of it is that im on console and therefore kinda at an automatic disadvantage? #like no matter what you do you still will never have as many buttons or the quick cursor movement as pc #so you have to make do with way less hotkeys and either just Way Less Weapon Options or brute force your way through them #like most ranged weapons are Ass on console aiming them is so frustrating because you cant just Put Cursor On Enemy And Track It #and grappling is so much harder too #like i have played a lot on pc too so this isnt just me going 'woe is me this must be harder' like it is So Much Harder #i had to kinda build my own key mapping from the ground up bc the defaults werent intuitive at all #except jump‚ you dont feel like having jump on a trigger makes sense and then you set it to b or a and then the next time you want to jump #while shooting youre like Ah. Its So I Dont Have To Let Go Of The Aiming Stick To Jump. and switch it back in shame #but ! all of that combined. console is so much harder. so i think my brain was like 'alright well in that case #fuck you im gonna get good at it anyways' and now we're here #also i didnt realize until recently that most people play it multiplayer??? #like i looked up something i cant remember what but it was like 'if you like most others play in multiplayer-' and im like #Wait Huh. #and it said something about the bosses kind of being more scaled for multiple players and that #single player makes it harder again #so im just like. clawing my way through mud and barbed wire for fun #its funny too cause i remember the controls thing almost made me drop it again but then one day i was like #yeah they are weird as fuck controls and complicated as hell but i bet if i did it long enough i could force myself #to learn it well enough to make it instinct #and sure enough !! like the grapple button when i first set it to b it was sooo hard to use at all #forget shit like grapple dashing or grapple dodging i could barely aim it while walking #and then i realized i had to just. only use the grapple when i could be pointing the movement stick the way i needed #so i couldnt use it as often or as versatilely as pc but i can still use it to some degree #adapt achieve overcome etc i fucking love vibeo game #sorry if this is bragging or weird im just very proud of the amount of skill in this game ive built up so quick #its my one (1) thing right now #my other ones are binding of isaac (not dead god but still p fuckin good tbh *tucks hair behind ear) #splatoon (2&3 specifically salmon run) #but those ones arent really active right now

hey girls... did you know, that um

princess house

#oc #worldbuilding stuff #? kinda #i fucking love designing architecture in this story its so so so fun #also its more like a castle #i drew her house once before & posted it on my main account a year or two ago.... i bet u cant find it 😈 #anyways the bee theme is much more subtle now thank god #when the story takes place the castle is actually a lot more run down &. crispy #the people designing this building: this is great! this isnt a fire hazard at all :D! #also theres a few princess sized cats there for scale #i may drop a wordbuilding dump sometimes soon cuz ive thought of a few neat things #maps & diagrams #worldbuilding

My insane Wings of Fire AU Species Masterlist, of an AU that I made in a rp four years ago! (with very bad traditional drawings i did that long ago) @castiels-destiny

The roleplay information is here, plus fun facts! I recommend reading this.

Starting off with the Continent: Pontalo! I kinda just… replaced two As in Pantala with Os (listen… it was four years ago)

I just made a terrible ass map just now but it looks like a dragon curled up, the head is facing downwards towards Pyrrhia and Pantala

There are 7 main tribes that live there, the FireWings (orange), SunWings(bright yellow), MoonWings (purple), LightWings (sandy yellow thats getting overtaken by red), LightningWings (cyan), HydroWings (dark blue), BloodWings (red), who wiped out the ShapeWings and stole their land. Also, they all eat meat, or in the case of BloodWings, blood.

Also, they can all breathe fire except for HydroWings, ShapeWings (venom), and LightWings, I kinda forgot to mention that before

They can have both Kings and Queens which rule equally, unlike in the original series which has predominantly Queens.

You can make ocs of them! tag (id love to see) and credit me if you do, please! :)

Edit: Headshots of all of them with updated designs! (the ShapeWing isnt accurate)

The head is where the Kingdom of Fire resides, the FireWings live there.

FireWings have fire-proof scales, backs on fire, and intense fire breath. The rare attribute is blue fire. They are aligned to the Fire Tribe and are carnivores. Their colors typically range from red, orange, or yellow (fiery) and have fiery eyes.

Their descendants are the MudWings and SkyWings in the original series.

The second drawing is their Queen (i forgot her name) with her sick daughter i think

Near the wings of the dragon continent, the top part resides the LightWings. (full information here) They are lightweight dragons with feathered wings instead of leathery, bat wings, like a bird. They also have feathery scales on their backs. They are aligned to the Light Tribe and have light powers, and are seen as mostly healers and good-willed. However, they have been nearly wiped out by the BloodWings, and most of the rest of them have fled the continent. They are omnivores.

They can range from white, light yellow, light blue, yellow, and other pastel colors, which are uncommon, and have yellow or blue eyes. Their feathers on their backs and behind their legs can be all kinds of colors, though.

Updated LightWing Base

The LightningWings (full and updated info here) live in the bottom part of the wing, in the Kingdom of Lightning. They have long nose horns like a lightning rod, and manipulate/summon electricity/lightning. They can charge their power in lightning storms and areas with lots of electricity. They have large backspikes too, and are carnivores.

They are a variety of colors, blue, dark blue, grayish blue, dark/grayish purplish blue, etc. Think storm clouds. Their spikes are white with yellow highlights though. They can have blue or yellow eyes.

Their descendants are also the SkyWings.

I actually have recent drawings of LightningWings and ShapeWings, in 2022 or 2023. This is Switch and Storm! They were mates.

Fun fact Storm died in front of Switch’s eyes LMFAOOO

Updated LightningWing base:

ShapeWings (full information here) used to live in the area the Bloodwings now reside, the part of the body connected to the arm and wing. They are shapeshifters and can change forms on whatever they’ve seen, and can also camouflage and change their scale colors, like their descendants, the RainWings. They come in a variety of colors, eye colors, and spots, and are omnivores. They eat a variety of fruits but can eat meat. They are Light Tribe aligned.

Their queen, Paradox, escaped the Great ShapeWing Genocide and was the last surviving member of their species, and she vows to one day rebuild her kingdom, and hated the BloodWings for what they’ve done. However, a young BloodWing dragon, Vampire Bat or, just Bat, came to her school, and she saw that not all of them were bad.

They have now repopulated in wherever the place Paradox went to (we never named what the land was that the roleplay took place in), and will not return to Pontalo.

They are the common ancestor of the Leaf and RainWings.

Updated ShapeWing design:

SunWings are kinda related to LightWings. They have frills like frilled-neck lizards that can absorb sunlight and charge their power. They live in the Kingdom of Sun. They have a very spiky tail, like a sun. They are Light/Fire Tribe aligned. They vary from golden yellow, yellow, orange, etc. They are carnivores.

SandWings are descendants of them, also ShapeWings are related as they absorb energy from the sun too, like their descendants, RainWings and LeafWings.

I don’t have any good drawings of them.

MoonWings (full information here, the following is a summary) are the opposite of SunWings, and they have scales that can light up, like SeaWing scales. They are nocturnal, and very much ancestors of NightWings. They also have star-like dots/scales in their wings that make them look like the night sky, like NightWings. They are in the Moon Kingdom and are Shadow Tribe aligned. However, they are not necessarily evil. They range from any dark color, black, greenish/purpleish/blueish black, etc. They can have any eye color and are carnivorous.

Also they get powers when under full moons like the NightWings, one full moon either prophecy or mind-reading, two for both, three for enhanced

SeaWings are sort of descended from them as well, and they’re distantly related to the HydroWings.

Updated MoonWing Base

BloodWings (full information here + SwordWings info) are settler dragons from another land and conquered the ShapeWings and LightWings. They are like vampires, they can turn into bats, they suck blood, have sharp, long fangs, large ears, and burn in the sun. They have a lot of spikes, a spike on their chest area (which i didnt draw, whoops), and shredder spikes on their forelegs. They range from violent dark red shades and have red eyes. They can hear very well, use dark powers, and can also fight hand-to-hand combat, because of their spikes. They are Shadow Tribe aligned.

Updated BloodWing base:

The second drawing is of Bat, drawn in 2021

Subspecies:

SwordWings (one of my favorites <3 they dont live on Pontalo though)

SwordWings were BloodWings that defected and vowed to stop their evil crimes, and eventually evolved into a seperate species. However, they almost got wiped out by the BloodWings when finally discovered, and the two remaining members known are the King’s children, Knight and Dauntless, brother and sister. They have armor and use weapons, but they still have BloodWing qualities. They grew out of using dark magic (some can sometimes use it) and instead rely on swords or their claws/spikes. Their colors are faded dark red, and have evolved out of their red eyes. They are carnivores and they don’t depend on blood anymore. They are Light Tribe aligned.

The two live in the land Paradox is (i dont have a name for it. we never named it anything lol)

The drawings are Knight. Second one drawn in 2023 I think

And lastly my beloved HydroWings!

Here is the full description

They are literally just SeaWings with bigger webbed spines running down from their head to their tail, on their legs, belly, and webbed spines that form like a fish tail, and water powers. HydroWings speak a more ancient version of Aquatic, and also have more bioluminescent scales than regular SeaWings. They have the patterns in their wings royal SeaWings got from them. They live underwater, can go deep underwater, and have gills, but can also live outside of water like SeaWings. However, they can’t stay on land for too long. They eat fish, whales, etc and are Water Tribe aligned.

They range from purple (rare), blue, green, and dark or light (rare) variants of those too. They have green, purple (rare), or blue eyes too.

Any other colors I didnt mention, just think of them as SeaWings, they can have the colors SeaWings have.

Most of them have fled Pontalo or are in hiding because of the threat of the BloodWings, and a lot have been killed.

Their names are usually after shark or dolphin species! Although Paradox’s mate Torrent does not follow this naming pattern, lol.

Updated HydroWing Base

Old drawing (actually one of the old, old drawings I like but I forgot a few things) and 2023 drawings (I was trying out something with the wings in the first one):

King Tiger Shark, the og HydroWing that I first came up with and the current King!

His back story is sort of in the full HydroWing description, but I forgot to include he was the youngest HydroWing King ever at 5.

And Queen Dolphin, daughter of Queen Paradox, and Hydro-ShapeWing hybrid.

She found the hidden HydroWing palace Atlantis and found out she was a HydroWing and not just a weird SeaWing/ShapeWing hybrid.

i still think link botw/totk would be a knight of space. breath comes sort of close but hes also a bit too dutiful to everyone as a community, but not in a karkat knight of blood way; the breath/blood axis isn’t what he’s bound to. he’s definitely on the space/time axis. you look at me and tell me this isnt link. link protecting people through space and protecting space (and time gets involved as well…..which could signify a connection to space/time aspects. but his arcs, where he is most in his element and zone, are more involved with the present, while zelda’s is more involved with the past and future)

bularia tells link that he has a “flair for the absurd” after talking about fusing a mushroom to a spear, a wink to creative players who made the world their sandbox back in botw and inspired the totk creative team with their magnesis minecart flying machines. but this also means “flair for the absurd” this is part of link’s canon character attributes

(x)

ever look at your hero’s path mode on the map? doesn’t this description seem familiar? what totk did was give the sandbox plenty of toys, and made it somehow even more obvious with the green-colored power motif. the free rotation of objects on three axes and the abillity to glue them to other objects in any way and detach them at will. the ability to fuse weapons and objects to weapons, exploiting space / “creation” literally as a weapon. oh yeah and straight up ascending vertically through solid objects

about the knight, link’s functional relation to this aspect, should be obvious and fits the boy like a glove:

the funny thing is that the zonai secret stones are kind of like aspects in of themselves arent they?

the aspects of the secret stones are more physical than conceptual. wind, water, fire, lightning. and then spirit for some reason but that would be kind of close to heart aspect (self)….minus the conceptual side. wind is also sort of analogous to breath but minus the conceptual side of breath, just literally windy thing.

time is time. i wonder if there are “different” time users, because all we’ve seen so far is one ability: recall, used by sonia and given to link, is sending an object’s path back in time at the small scale. or when more powerful capable of sending the object as it is now back in time outside of itself like zelda did, so instead of zelda sending herself back to when she was conceived over 100 years ago as a zygote, she accidentally sent herself back to like the equivalent of caveman times in real years but she is still the same chronological age as she was right before.

anyway but there’s only like, two classes we know: sages and kings. rauru is a king of light. oh yeah there’s a light secret stone power also. light in zelda seems to be analogous to hope in homestuck though in that its a upheavel darkness/“rage” opposed power

ganondorf’s aspect is totally rage dont even talk to me

the sativa edible is kicking in as i write this

gimme doodles/character designs for ur tmnt iteration NOW

(no actual pressure i just want to draw them and need ur designs for them)

okay so I dont have much actual art of them bc I have had no time to draw lately, but ill try to like summarize their vibes or give doodles at least Donnie- hes a very anxious angsty guy, is in his lab almost all of the time, always seems to look a bit sad or tired, doesnt really like other people, kind of has similar vibes and shape language to tm(n)t donnie if that helps at all, hes a hybrid spiny soft-shell turtle and spotted turtle, hes got spots on the back part of his shell like this:

and spiky bits at the bottom edges of his shell like this:

so I imagine hes like a dark green kinda grey color mostly besides the yellow spots on his shell, his hands and forearms and legs are always bandaged up and if theyre not covered he has a lot of scars from assorted causes, he usually wears either like black shorts or baggy sweatpants, sweatpants more often, on occasion a hoodie and that becomes much more frequent after the events of the shredder apprentice arc, I forgot to put them in the doodle but he has stretch marks on his thighs and upper arms and is the tallest of the guys but hunches over so much that you wouldnt know, he has scoliosis but not very severely, you can just barely tell if you look at his shell from behind that its a bit misshapen

Raph- Raph is a bog turtle, so is Mikey, this is an older drawing and isnt the most accurate but its like the only good drawing I have of him, usually he does not look anywhere near this happy, the markings around the back of his neck and on the shell are still accurate but otherwise its kinda up to interpretation so do what you will, he also wears hoodies and pants sometimes but not always, his mask tails vary in length bc he chews on them so sometimes theyre short when he doesnt want to or longer when he does want to

Mikey- Mikey is also a bog turtle, raphs markings are a bit more red and his are a bit more yellow/orange, my Mikey wears a more yellow mask than bright orange, its kinda that yellow-orange shade, I think he has freckles but theyre more like small scale patches that are darker green than real freckles, has the same neck markings and similar shell markings to raph, has either one dot above his right eye that looks like a circular eyebrow or has it on both eyes, for now I'll say just the one though, his mask tails arent as long as Leo but go to about mid-back and the ends are frayed Leo- Leo is based a lot on 2012, all of my turtles are more based on 2012 than any other iteration, his mask tails are very long like all the way down to his waist, theyre cut at diagonals like at an angle at the end and are not frayed, he has more yellow colored stripes that go over his eyes (like rise Leo a bit) but then they run down to his shoulders and down his arms, sides, and legs, and theres also shorter segments on his shoulders that are pretty much just yellow patches. He's a black knobbed map turtle, so just imagine kinda realistic stripes like theirs but stylized. When he uses his powers they glow a really intense blue color and it looks really cool. After the events of the shredder apprentice arc he has a big X scar across the back of his shell

ShuiZhu ( main lmk oc )

水珠 ( water pearl )

she/her // bisexual

names / nickname:

ao Shui / shui zhu

{ water girl / titan mermaid / goddess of the ocean / sea witch / fan girl2.0 / the pearl keeper }

backstory:

Ao guang found a giant clam created by nüwa with her inside and then raised her as his daughter since no one else wanted to accept her though some other dragons didnt like her at all except the dragon attendant she got used to her.

once almost injured one of her dragon brothers Ao jiao and almost killed her in a act of revenge luckily Ao guang broke the fight. Ao bing the attendant and Nezha are the only ones she got along well with

secretly went up to the surface multiple times and became best friends with Nezha when she saw him playing alone. they became jianzi duos and explored the ocean for treasures together. Ao guang then gave her a bladed fan that can change its size for safety.

as Shui grew more attached to the oceans beauty and powerful nature she somehow gained water powers because of it. she may have destroyed a few buildings but it wasnt severe but she once made a whirlpool killing many fishermen on accident and they wanted to execute her though Ao guang was angered shui cannot help but plead for him to spare the humans

the large village the fishermen lived ended up getting invaded by demons.when they found shui they invited her to be "apart" of they're family which she declined and continued causing havoc amongst the village..the humans may hate her but she wants to save them so she gave her limbs and life to the demons and the only thing left is her head the pool of water her body evaporated into and her blood with her head in Ao guangs arms

then Ao guang had asked the jade emperor to bring her back from the dead and he agreed but it would take 200 years to reborn her new body and erase the trauma she experienced but her happy moments.

then when she grew up her aquatic esque ears started to get more bigger with small scales on her back and the heavens decided to give her the role of the goddess of the sea and fish ( or just any sea creature ) but ao guang didnt want her to go in fear of loosing his own child again but shui promised that every year she would visit for 4 days.then she made a pearl balancing both land and sea from disasters making peace ( wukong tried to steal it when the brotherhood still existed )but though she ascended to divinity she must learn how on how to control her powers so guan yin offered shui to be her student or sometimes when guan yin is busy and Nezha has free time he can help her learn even though water isnt his element despite the fact they had been separated for so long they're bond still stands strong yet it took almost 100 years for them to develop into adults

when shui returned to the mortal realm the first thing she does is to tend the graves of the fishermen she had killed on accident from guilt and then visit Ao guang

( most of the time she visits Nezha hangs out with him and helps him with keeping the map safe growing water lilies and often meditate together )

ship name: Lotuswave

despite Ao jia being extremely mean to her when she was a child they actually dont mean it in fact they were just strict they try there best to be good brothers after her death

powers:

water clones ( her water clones are similar to macaque but much faster than his. the clones cant evaporate but rather when something tries to attack it the attacks go through her clones

liquidkinesis ( most of the time she uses water to attack or make random shapes in a brutal way she can do the same with blood and maybe explode it in someones body but rarely does that )

bladed fan ( her fans were given by Ao guang for protection and to block attacks. her fans can shapeshift into a bigger size but cant get smaller. she can also make tsunamis with it by making it bigger and swinging it in the most aggressive way possible )

shapeshift ( she cant shapeshift into anything but only has two forms her full fish form is made from heavenly water and often swims with other fish groups and the second one has the appearance of a water mermaid. her fish form is smaller than the second one and the second is bigger than Nezhas monster form it even grants her mind reading capabilities

often dreams of becoming a dragon someday or having another form that is a dragon and not a fish so she would feel like shes apart of the dragon family

her water hair cannot get evaporated but can change the temperature based on her emotions for example her hair can actually boil when shes mad but it doesnt hurt her or the person touching it.its just hot

i think the thing with paul explicitly being "just paul" is a disidentification with their house, fairly standard as far as weve seen - we have ianthe the first (being called tridenrarius in private), harrow the first, crown him with many crowns ("[tridentarius is] not my name anymore") - but while others are still aligned with some faction (the first, boe), paul isnt. paul functionally couldve been The Sixth (in that pal was the sixth house and cam with the sixth) but chose not to, chose to be something new and something siding not with the houses or with boe.

which falls in line with refusing to be measured against cam and pal - im thing of the mustache rides and how you cant map pauls answer on a scale of how much of camilla or how much of palamedes it is given the answers we know (the ambiguity of their opinion of the price of mustache rides remains) - paul isnt palamedes, and paul isnt camilla. paul is both of them just as much as neither ("we are the love that is perfected by death" "they had a lot of rainy-day backup plans" (also the ability to distance oneself from the pain cam&pal went through while still being able to be their love makes me scuttle up walls)). paul knows both the houses and of the colonies and boe and isnt aligning themself with either. theres a recognition of the faults of the systems.

in the creation of paul, camilla erupts into white flames ("camilla burst into flames. she blazed like a white candle ") which directly references palamedes death ("the sickroom exploded into white fire... as palamedes sextus made everything burn") where immediately after we get "the mechanisms of this feeble shitty machine crumbling as Palamedes Sextus became a god-killing star." first of all, god-killling - hey we know that guy - but also the mechanisms of the machine. canaan house but more generally the first, the (system of the) houses even. in this essay-

(idk who will care about this post but i think long schpiels on extremely specific Thoughts About Media is a major use case for tumblr so you’re getting it anyway) i think i wouldn’t at all have my feeling of disconnect re the rest of fandom’s* interest in Bondord if he had been a woman. this isnt a bizarre critique of some sort its just a funny thought about me and what i like. twisted inversion of motherhood with a mad scientist character feels like, the concept has More For Me than the same with fatherhood and would create more intrinsic interest in the character

*especially ‘my cohort’ — the contingent who seems to have similar predilections like fic/shipping activity and also much of the portion of the fandom that’s, like, adult women — largely those folks are big Bondrode fans and enjoy Guebon and i’m like, i relate to your habits guys but have very little interest in your man. (for those who haven’t heard me bitch about this before: i dont hate him but i have littlr interest in seeking out art or fic of him or anything and I’m kinda sad that he’s the only adult character who ever got like figures and nendo and stuff.)

hopefully no one takes this personally lol. hell, i don’t care if Bon fans think Belaf is boring! that is in fact vastly preferable to people who are randomly mean about my ships. please feel free to just ignore my favorite characters’ existence instead.

anyway like

if he’d shown up as A Horrible Science Woman and then the movie recast her into Also A Loving (But Still Horrible) Mother i’d probably like this chara much more. it’s not like because Ooh Evil Woman Hot or something. actually i think i still wouldn’t find her hot the way most of the aforementioned Bondord Enjoyers do. i pick up a new ‘character i think is actually hot’ very rarely and then they stay forever. i have very limited slots for that tbh. (also this is just me complaining now and no longer relevant but such characters tend to be pretty unpopular lol and have very little r18 content/fic available and generally this drives me to despair. i drew a picture about the top offenders once.)

it’s more..i think the fucked up inversion of motherhood is more intrinsically interesting to me than with fatherhood. it’s just a personal interest thing. i think that sort of thing is neat. if i ever bother to go watch chainsaw man it’ll be because i know that’s a thing that it gets into and many people like what it does there. also there’s how much i dig mapping parts of this show onto other parts (in fact this is already the context in which i do manage to find him interesting sometimes — the Riko Waz Bondird sliding scale of what lines you’ll cross is the one context in which i have a brain cell to focus on this guy lol.) and in that regard motherhood is part of the premise of the show and all and ways it can be inverted and fucked up is a big deal in my favorite arc even if this isn’t *why* it’s my favorite arc. so i think i’d also enjoy being able to make more parallels with it. even though the general parallel of ‘versions of parenthood’ is still available, i think bad mad scientist fathers are just a less intrinsically Oh Cool concept to me than ‘bad mad scientist mother.’ (Yes I Do Like Prospera Btw)

related: even though I love love love Waz and you guys know this, it also took a while for that to click into place after meeting him. but one time I saw Oriole’s girlWaz tenderly cradling one of the Irukos and i instantly realized that if he had been a woman and the visual of him with the baby and a knife had thus inevitably channeled inverted motherhood and dovetailed with the existing examinations of motherhood in the arc and in abyss as a whole, i would have loved him instantly instead of having to let my thoughts on him percolate.

after finishing replaying the main story of SoV, which started pretty suddenly for the sake of doing research for a game i've been in the early stages of making...

i can safely say act 2 still ended up being my favorite all these years later🫡

There's something I really enjoy about the more personal stakes of helping others in their pirate (and necrodragon) related troubles while being on a pilgrimage to a temple. I mean you know how FE tends to be, continent spanning struggles and wars between royalty of nations, with the smaller-scale bandit stuff just being for a few chapters, if that.

I dont mind the big royal stories of course but Celica Act 2 really is some fresh air, especially since it happens after the more typical FE plot had already started on Alm's side.

...To be fair once the plot started, the smaller scale troubles are also pushed aside here. But there were at least sidequests to help people throughout.

Onto more general stuff, yeah sidequests like this were a nice thing to see in an FE game. I liked the earlier ones where you went back to a shrine to fight a miniboss, and the ones where you had to trade between armies to complete early.

And i've talked about how much I love the fact that there's dungeons to crawl in this game, since it was one of the main reasons I decided to replay for research. One thing I will say is that the dungeon battles got monotonous after a point, especially when enemies were just too far away for my team to one-round, but they weren't quite weak enough for me to auto battle without worrying if someone would die. There's a lot i've taken note of in the dungeon aspect so far for my project, but I haven't even tried the postgame dungeon yet so i'll have to see if anything gets added there.

Also not related to my research but why's the turning like that when running in dungeons 😭

Onto non-dungeon battles, the map design was overall... yeah not great, kinda ass. However, I cant say this too confidently rn considering i'll need to make strategy maps for my own game idea, which i've never done before, so my stuff may also end up kinda ass!!! We'll be ass together!!

Anyway I liked the early "mostly barren fields" for Alm because it put into perspective a literal army's cavarly units vs your ragtag footlocked crew with like 1-2 cav and fliers that probably couldn't be sent off on their own. But after a bit it was like okay thats enough empty fields with cavalry approaching. Also i'm not forgiving this goofy ass setup

Celica's desert+swamp maps weren't fun at all but man these maps always gotta show up in some FE game so this isnt a Celica exclusive.

Overall there's definitely things done in SoV that I wanna consider for my own project, so this was def worth replaying & experiencing the good & bad myself instead of just watching a playthrough or smth. There's probably a lot more i could say but i've been typing for a while agh

ok you know what fuck it 2 am kirby research dump time: kirby fighters 2 story mode/buddy tower stones since thats what ive been researching recently while mapping out the game's exefs (main executable) in ghidra

first off, every level for each stone is its own item. while this seems like a weird decision at first, it does make checking for the cursed stones for the debuffs a lot easer since the game only needs to check if you have any amount of the level 5 stone

each stone has a specific function for calculating that specific buff. first, the game gets the amount of each level stone you have, then multiplies each count by the corresponding stone's bonus, and finally adds the products of all of them together.

(L1_count * L1_bonus) + (L2_count * L2_bonus) + (L3_count * L3_bonus) + (L4_count * L4_bonus) + (L5_count * L5_bonus)

because you will never have more than one of each level, this works very nicely!! if you don't have a specific level, that will result in 0 due to multiplying by 0, and if you do have one, itll produce the bonus due to multiplying by 1. this also has the side effect of being able to stack multiple of one level stone, though this wont happen in normal gameplay, but it would be fun to mess around with!

there are two stones that are actually completely unused!! they're unobtainable in normal gameplay since the item table has them disabled for every single chapter, but they are fully implemented in both the native code and hal's scripting bytecode, mint!!

BlowAway the "BlowAway" stone causes opponents launched by your throws to be in hitstun for a longer period of time, and as such more susceptible to buddy tosses. the base amount of frames is 40, so the hitstun for each level is:

45 frames (+5)

53 frames (+8)

64 frames (+11)

78 frames (+14)

96 frames (+18)

98 frames is a lot of time for a video game, especially a fighting game!! specifically, its 1.6 seconds of hitstun!!! this stone was probably way too strong and was cut because of that. interestingly, the maximum this stat can go is 200 frames, which is 3 and 1/3 seconds. that is WAY too much hitstun for any game, even if its just what you deal to opponents in a situation that isnt super common unless you're one of the two grapplers in the game.

ShieldTime this stone is interesting due to the fact that everything related to guarding isn't handled in mint, but rather the native game code itself in exefs!! what the "ShieldTime" stone does is reduce how much your guard meter depletes while holding the button.

the base is a multiplier of 1.0, and has a minimum of 0.25. this stone's formula subtracts the bonus from the maximum value instead of adding to the minimum. so, for each level, this multiplier is:

0.7x

0.25x (result is 0.2, which goes under the minimum)

0.25x (result is -0.45, which would cause the guard gauge to increase rather than decrease)

0.25x (result is -1.25)

0.25x (result is -2.25)

looking at how this starts to scale negatively, this stone was probably scrapped pretty early before the values could be actually fine-tuned.

interestingly, the level 5 stone items are referred to as "PieceDevil__Ex", while the level 4 stones are called "PieceDevil__". these probably were going to have a negative health drawback like the level 5 stones. in fact, the yaml file that dictates which items can appear inbetween floors actually tells us this!! there's a "name" property that is named uniquely for only the two unused stones i just talked about, and at the end of that for both of those there is a short description of the stone's effects not present in the other stones's name properties. this actually includes the health debuff!!

it seems like the level 4 stones used to take away a quarter (25%) of your health, and the level 5 stones were actually buffed in the final game!! originally, it looks like they were going to take away 40% of your health instead of half of it (50%)!!

thats about it for now, this has been very fun to document and i will probably make more big posts like this when i can!!!

[headlinehustling]

I am truly trying my hardest to not gaf abt the isreal palestine thing bc all the people i know going to the encampments are insufferable but i feel like looking with scrutiny at the idea that an oppressed group has a right to their ancestral homeland really only works if a population of that group is currently actively living in that homeland. But, 70 years is enough time for multiple generations of people to consider a place not just their ancestral homeland but their literal and only homeland. So if you are willing to commit a lot of violence so no one else is living on that homeland ... but the idea of a homeland is a very 19th-20th century necessity because of the insane scale of colonization instead of straight up conquest - letting people be under the illusion of freedom and creating that dynamic of belonging so extremely to your Land over another group that won't commit except for profit. i feel like Americans cannot handle the idea that Not Everything Is the Same Everywhere (no, gentrification into black neighborhoods is still bad but it's not colonization, no, modern day Americans have no obligation to give back 'stolen land' and in most parts of the country there isnt the same Land or people to give it back to anyways), and that not every global issue fits into a narrative of good vs. evil. Though, i would say the kind of pan-African movements that called for the creation of a new state in Africa would probably have yeilded similar results. Looking at the map like its a drawing board distinct from time and people is not productive. I have a hard time going back and forth between, like, how is the conflict any different from other wars for land that took place nearly constantly from the dawn of time, and yeah it will inevitably lead to the destruction of one of the countries - at least for Israel, Jews will still exist if Israel doesn't, I dont know if you can say the same about Palestine.

(ID: two pictures of a pencil map of several rooms in rain world, all from the region "Industrial Complex." a few rooms are titled in small writing, and there are a few small markings next to rooms. all of the rooms are low detail. the first image is a closeup of one of the rooms, and the second image is the entire map. End ID.)

welcome to industrial complex, drawn poorly by yours truly in an attempt to make navigation easier without using the interactive map! it doesnt have Every room, just the ones i usually use to get to the places i need. it also isnt super detailed because fuck that shit, i only need a few identifying bits for each room and im golden. it also isnt to scale. at all.

each room is sized based on vibes alone (or how much room i needed to get the details id need into it.)

everybody say thank you graph paper. i love u graph paper 💜💜💜

This is your opportunity to talk about your favorite things! Answer this ask whenever you have time to ramble about things you like. If you want, you can send this to other people so they can share as well.

oh. you don't even know the monster you've just unleashed.

buckle up y’all it’s time for some OC LORE.

have you ever thought, damn, i wish there was a show that combined begrudging found family tropes, sci-fi heists and criminal shenanigans, large scale political conflict and a thematic critique of modern liberal politics? that was also set in space? and super gay? well do i have the show for you!

welcome to alcmena.

(this post has two parts. World building & Characters. if you want to skip all the super cool awesome world building and go straight to the characters who are the heart of the story or whatever 🙄, feel free to scroll. its in bright purple.)

and because im extremely very nice and curteous, ill put the rest under a read more. It's a long one.

WORLD BUILDING

Alcmena, which hosts two main systems (System A, the "Rexian System" and System B, the "Regenai System"), is engaged in a centuries long conflict between the ruling "Sovereign Monocracy of Alcmena" and the rebellion faction, "Common People for the Liberation of Alcmena." Most people just call them the Monocracy and the Rebellion. The Monocracy is your pretty standard imperial bad guy government. Here's an excerpt from "A Complete History Of Alcmenan Colonization, From Discovery to Monocratic Liberty" by A.G. Helmber, Monocratic Chief of Education. (planets are labeled on the map above, click for quality.)

So....not great.

Here's an excerpt from a rebellion source.

Here's the thing though. This isn't the whole story. The Rebellion markets itself as a progressive group championing the rights of the people, but really its just interested in power and maintaining their own status quo (i swear to god this is explored subtly and elegantly in the actual story, ik it sounds very on the nose here).

some more geography/world lore:

like i said, two systems.

REXIAN SYSTEM

orbits a yellow star known as "rex"

capital planet is Vesta, which hosts a government based industry and houses the elite of the elite. It is the oldest of populated planets

The most populous planet is Proserpine, the cultural capital of the galaxy.

Other planets in system are artisan and trade planets. Proserpine has another planet on its orbit path, Tara, which functions as Rex’s “black market”. The Rebellion is eager to establish a presence here.

REGINAI SYSTEM

orbits a yellow star known as "regin"

this system is plagued by war. Intersettlement and interplanetary conflicts are aplenty. That means crime is too.

Lots of culture, lots of thieving.

Lockai and Kavtu were terraformed simultaneously. They are the most technologically advanced planets (after Vesta, of course). Technological research, development, and manufacturing. Lockai and Kavtu share the first wormhole portal (name pending). They have the most cultural exchange.

Nocturam is the planet closest to the sun (called “Regin”), but all of its civilization is cloaked in darkness. Nocturam settlements are just one long interconnected network of open air ships that chase darkness as the world turns. Daytime on Nocturam is scorching and deadly, but night is survivable. Nocturam cities rely on bright neon to light their lives. It’s rumored that on very clear nights, pink and green stars can be seen from Lockai.

We also have some rogue planets not in orbit (my best friend is an astrophysicist ik this isnt how it works but its my story so. shh.)

OUTER PLANETS

Saraneth

A once barren desert planet that was abandoned after the Vestian Civil War of the 3300s. A few settlers who had escaped Vesta managed to harness underground water streams and eventually built a kingdom protected by harsh weather and a dedicated military force.

A true monarchy whose line descends from the original settler family. Currently ruled by Empress Netra Zoras of Saraneth, known as “The Young Queen”, who inherited the throne from her father at age 15 after he died 5 years ago.

The monocracy has trouble navigating the sandstorms that circle around the country of Saraneth, which sits in a 300 kilometer eye of a storm. Only Sarenthian “sandcutters” know how to fly through the storms.

Because of this, Saraneth has remained independent through the last 500 years. They’ve dealt with their own political turmoil and internal conflict, but Saraneth’s political isolation means most details remain unknown.

Sandcutters are tasked with transporting imports and exports between Saraneth and and its trade ports—small villages outside the storm. These villages are heavily guarded and armed by Sarenthian military.

Karrigat

as mentioned before, the airtight fortress of the rebellion. the lore of this planet is in the excerpt from the rebellion source. that's abt all i have.

OK WORLD BUILDING DONE. LETS GET TO THE ACTUAL STORY.

We follow James Huong (F, 40s), the captain of a small crew locked in a contract with the Rebellion. They send her jobs, she gets them done. People used to say "she's got a fast wit and a faster draw," but these days she's just tired. Before she was stuck running dangerous errands with a bunch of goddamn kids, she had a wife and a whole other crew. They were traveling the galaxy, living the dream, but they ended up running jobs for some real nasty mobs. They got caught in the crossfire of a rebellion x monocracy battle during one of their runs, even after James' insisted to their boss that they hold off on the delivery cause it was too dangerous. The boss made them do it anyway and long story short, everyone but James died. She'd sent them into a shuttle to escape and left the ship to defend them, but the shuttle was bombed. This is why James is so weary of being in the rebellion's endless contract. Doesn't matter if you call yourself righteous or entrepreneurial, power is power.

Lets talk about those "goddamn kids."

Here's the crew of the [untitled space ship]:

James Huong - Captain

Aurora Keane - First Hand

Charlie Fairside - Engineer

Daya Marneth - Pilot

T'arin Thone - .....unknown

Aurora (F, 20s) mostly goes by Keane (tho Charlie can get away with "Rors" on occasion). Her life has not been easy. She's got distinct facial tattoos along her cheek and brow bones --- the markings of a Monocracy soldier. I'll let this outline tell the story.

she's deeply emotionally stunted (understandably). i love her. so much.

charlie (M, 20s) was raised on a manufacturing planet (think like industrial revolution) and is one of like 9 siblings. he left the planet to find work and sends almost all of his money back home. he's the engineer and keeps the ship running, but his family doesn't know that the ship he works on does some….less than legal things. he's a golden retriever but is holding a lot pent up inside.

he and aurora have an interesting relationship. aurora carries a lot of guilt (for obvious reasons) and charlie's the first person she opens up to about her past (after james, but that happened pretty soon after they met bc she was being arrested and questions were raised). charlie says he left his family to find work but really he just didn't want to live and die there. his dad was gonna retire and he was going to have to become the head of the household, so he runs. he feels extremely guilty about leaving his family and so he and aurora kind of bond over the fact that they both think they are the worst person in the universe. but also they think the other person is insane for thinking that because what the fuck you're literally the best person i know. it takes them a VERY LONG TIME TO GET TOGETHER. LIKE. SEASONS. we're slowburning friends to lovers babyyyyy. it's hard though. aurora is emotionally stunted (as previously stated) has issues communicating. charlie also is convinced aurora is gonna realize she deserves better and leave him, so he is often flexible to a fault and doesn't prioritize his needs at all. but once they sort their shit out their perfect for each other. yin & yang, good in the bad and bad in the good and all that. i love them so much.

daya....daya (F, 20s) is my babygirl. oh my god. so, charlie showed up on the ship around the same time as daya, who got there just a few months before. after finishing a job, aurora and james come back to find some random girl trying to steal their ship. and not just trying...succeeding. Daya gets the ship well in the air before aurora shoots down one of the ship's thrusters with a hand missile (don't ask me how that works. james starts yelling at aurora because now the ship's gonna crash and they dont have the kind of money to fix that kind of damage and what were you thinking?!?! but daya manages to pilot the ship down safely with literally no extra damage. so. now she's their pilot. She and charlie become fast friends. they have to work together a lot because they're in charge of keeping the ship running. somehow they both act like they're the other's little sibling.

here's the thing about daya, though.

no one knows it, but shes got a little sister. Netra. her full name is Princess Netr'ada of Saraneth---well, Empress now. Daya doesn't find out until an old newspaper shows up in a swapmeet a few years later, but their father has died and Netra has taken the throne. Saraneth is a desert planet, kind of like Arrakis in Dune, but its got an ever-present sandstorm engulfing most of the planet. Saraneth sits in the eye of the storm. The sky is heavily guarded by Saraneth's navy so the only way in or out is through the storm, a journey only the most highly trained Saranethians can lead. The storm, and the galaxy's dependence on Saraneth's exports, are why Saraneth remains one of the last planets independent of rebellion and monocracy rule. Daya Marneth (or Princess Dayamare of Saraneth, missing - presumed dead) snuck onto a naval ship when she was 19 and never looked back. She loves Saraneth, but it's not without issues. Daya couldn't stay. (Whether she is selfish for leaving is up for debate.) She tried to get Netra to come with her, but they fought and Netra refused. In a few months, Daya will find a paper that says Queen Netr'ada has birthed an heir. In a few years, she'll find out it was a baby boy.

remember how i mentioned Saraneth's exports? the planet of Saraneth holds rich vains of a mineral that activates most of the technology in the galaxy. Sort of equivalent to cobalt in our world, though i know jack shit about how tech irl works so dont @ me. Unfortunately this means the monocracy is highly dependent on Saraneth. Its a miniature cold war: we have the weapons to annihilate your entire planet, but you have a monopoly on tech so… And yeah, everyone assumes Daya is dead, but if she isn't….if the monocracy can track her down, make her divulge information about Saraneth's security…..maybe they can take Saraneth for themselves.

This is where Mirene Cautsa (F 20s) comes in! She's a monocratic assassin who's hunting Daya down like her life depends on it because...it kind of does. She's always been top of her class, but the monocracy doesn't take kindly to failures. She's cutthroat, cunning, and totally doesn't have any kind of empathy for Daya who clearly is just a girl trying to find happiness and she's totally not jealous of how free Daya lets herself be or how she doesn't seem to hate Mirene even though she has every reason too and Mirene totally doesn't notice the way Daya's hair brushes the hollow of her collarbone and oh shit. that's right. we're doing enemies to lovers babyyyyyy. and they're LESBIANS.

on daya's end of this, shes extremely frustrated because mirene never communicates why shes hunting her. blah blah blah plot i havent written yet but eventually mirene ditches the monocracy for the rebellion (which honestly is worse) and they start…dating? they dont know what to call it. but then mirene gets called on a rebel mission and they fight because mirene thinks she needs to pay for the harm shes caused but daya thinks shes trading in one bad thing for another cause shes scared to be her own person! individual growth happens and then they meet again on a battlefield and before they can even have a conversation, they save each others lives wordlessly. mwah ofc happily ever after.

now. you're probably thinking. god. so its just james and these chaotic twenty-somethings. jesus christ. well, do not fear! Meet T'arin (M, 40s) . Him joining the crew is the first story we ever get. he's a monocratic aristocrat who's been working as a rebellion spy for years, but his cover is blown. it's the crew's responsibility to get him out. they save him and somehow he ends up a permanent part of the crew. he is the empathetic counterpart to james' weariness. They balance each other out. by the end of the story, they are life partners. Romantic, platonic, familial, its not really clear. But when the dust settles and they all have to part ways, T'arin stays by James' side.

i have. so much more. like. so much more. but i'll leave it there.

#pspspsps #i have so much more on daya and mirenes romance. and on aurora and charlie. and i have picrews. and i have playlists. and i have scripts.

[strawberrybabydog]

[photo: a screenshot of a tumblr comment which reads: “babydog Please tell us at ur innerworld/stasis. i am curious /pos” end ID]

i want to preface by saying i actually don’t know a lot about it because as a beholder, i can’t really enter it. as a [human-bodied] beholder, i am literally unable to comprehend most of what even goes on in there, like how companions can struggle to be in our world because ours is hard to understand for them, and a lot of concepts such as gender and language often don’t have direct “translations.” when i view their innerworld/stasis, it’s very blurry, and feels almost like when you’re partially blinded in a dream or struggle to open your eyes fully.

this post might get lengthy, as i’ll be posting images (all of which will be described) but i’m putting it under the cut so it doesnt clutter yalls dashes

includes:

map

location descriptions

descriptions of stasis members

1. map

[photo: a digitally drawn map. the top right corner and along the whole right side is fenced-in, and inside there is a red barn, a brown garden, and along the top of the fence there’s a green patch with an apple on it. near the middle-left is a mcdonalds building with a parking lot, patio, and a small strawberry-shaped stand. to the immediate left there is a road, which if followed north leads to another parking lot and a bigger strawberry-shaped building with a patio. there is lots of negative space between the buildings. end ID]

the farm

the farm is obviously Ryder’s area. there is a huge area for him to hang around in, a food garden, a big red barn, and an apple orchard. there may be a house also, but i’m unsure of that so i didn’t include it. Ryder is generally alone here. this area feels like summer time. it’s very hot here and there’s lots of bugs (mainly pollinators.) it sounds like cicadas and wind in leaves. it smells like fruits being eaten by bugs and soft flowers. Ryder’s is the most “realistic” area, and also the most serene

[photo: 3 horses standing in a sunny area, with green grass and tall, blooming apple trees. end ID]

mcdonalds

mcdonalds is well-known to be slush’s area! it’s hard to describe, but it is quite literally a tiny mcdonalds. it feels like the mcdonald’s is scaled to slush, meaning a 5-foot-something human-body wouldn’t fit inside. even as a dog-body, its hard to fit/see inside. there’s a patio out front, and the store layout is generally similar to the mcdonald’s closest to our House IRL. there’s seating on the patio and inside. the kitchen is small, and all of the kitchen appliances are toys.

[video: a person making a konapun set - a small japanese toy set which makes edible candy that is shaped like real foods, including small appliances - which is hamburger and french fry themed. end ID]

slush loves these videos, so his mcdonalds is heavily inspired by konapun sets like this. he describes this as not working at mcdonalds, but playing there. he uses toys instead of real appliances so the food doesnt “hurt” (burn.) his mcdonalds smells like mcdonalds, and it feels like joy. customers pay in gratitude. it sounds like bubbles in a deep fryer and “dings” from the opening/closing front door, and faint chatter. it feels like extra-cold air conditioner. it doesn’t feel stressed or crowded. 

there is a new attachment to slush’s mcdonalds which is a little bakery, courtesy of Sugarloaf

sugarloaf’s bakery

this is obviously the newest addition into their stasis, only popping up within the last few days. being as Sugarloaf’s in-stasis personality isnt fully formed, i can’t really see inside. all i know is that it’s like a polly pocket playset, which opens up

(link to video which shows a similar toy, because tumblr wont let me just post the video) [video link: a person showing off a Sanrio polly pocket-like playset of a bakery. when closed, it looks like a bakery that has a cake for a roof. when open, there is a shop, eating area, and small kitchen appliance and utensil toys. end ID]

being as i dont actually have Sugarloaf in my possession and, again, it’s personhood is only partially formed, the bakery is closed and (usually) empty. periodically through the day i’ve felt/seen glances of Sugarloaf inside setting things up or baking. it smells like a sweets bakery, and has “road trip with a friend and spontaneously stopping in a small-town’s bakery and eating the most delicious sweets of your life” vibes.

2. appearances

slush

slush looks the same as he does to us, as a plush. he used to look/feel more like a bio-dog, but since he’s learned to cope with being a plush here, he appears as Himself but in a little mcdonalds uniform.

[photo: a PNG of a 2001 Ty Slush Classic plush. a grey and white siberian husky dog. it has a heart-shaped Ty swing tag on it’s ear. end ID]

Slush uses projected pronouns - whatever YOU feel like fits him best (or makes you more comfortable around him,) use them. 

Ryder

Ryder appears as a bio-horse, with the same fur pattern as he has out-of-stasis.

[photo: a real-life horse standing up, it’s head facing the POV. it’s all-brown with a white blaze on it’s nose up to it’s forehead. it has a long unstyled brown mane and tail. end ID]

Ryder uses he/him, clop/clopself, and all horse-related pronouns. 

Sugarloaf

for the billionth time i’ll remind that Sugarloaf isn’t fully formed and i have only “seen” it a few times. this could be because i’ve never seen Sugarloaf IRL before, but Sugarloaf is actually a cartoon version of itself, but with paws. below is a drawing i did which is VERY close to how Sugarloaf actually looks in-stasis right now. i imagine this may change when i actually receive Sugarloaf and is a temporary “form”

[photo: a digital drawing of Sugarloaf. Sugarloaf is a white-bodied snail plush with an iridescent-pink heart-shaped shell, and matching iridescent horns. it has small, cute eyes, and a big red clown nose. it also has front “paws.” end ID]

i don’t know what pronouns Sugarloaf uses. i imagine it doesn’t care, so i guess use whatever you want.

aaand thats our stasis/innerworld, at least as of now (5/22)
