#simosh #dbh josh #dbh simon #dbh #dbh mods #detroit: become human #d:bh #yes im on it again THIS WAS TRICKY TO PICK FITTING GIFS FOR THIS TO FIT THE VISION BUT YEAH #so this is basically canon with the implication that josh and simon (if in team) goes on a separate mission BUT YOU KNOW #wANTED TO PLAY WITH THAT CONCEPT #OF THEM AVOIDING COPS AND SNEAKING AND BREAKING IN #i intended this not to be a 'josh is markus' au but more like #'josh and simon on a heist/operation together' #thats why i avoided the revolution leader imagery. but i feel like josh would stop and reflect by the statues #while simon is more in sneaky survival mode. concerned. #(this lowkey started with me thinking abt simon and joshs height difference and how it would work for the kissing animation) #(didnt RLY work up close but... yeah. then i played the whole chapter and here we go)

Not sure if anyone will be able to answer this, but does Castor still attack the party in Reload?

Now, I do wanna preface this by saying I'm not sure if this was intended, or if it was a bug on my disk specifically, or what.

But, in the original PS2 version of Persona 3, I used to get this thing where if Shinjiro were tired or sick, sometimes Castor would attack him or the party instead of the shadow when summoned, and I always really liked that because it felt like the game was actually showcasing that Shinjiro doesn't have full control of his Persona.

Again, I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but I really hope it was and that it's still present in Reload, 'cause yeah it was just a little thing, but it added a lot of depth haha

#Persona 3 #Persona 3 reload #Shinjiro Aragaki #the reason I think this is intended is because it literally only ever happened with Shinjiro and Strega #with Strega it happened way less 'cause no base status ailments like tired or sick #but I did get it at least once with all 3 of them #they'd summon and their Persona would like recoil or something

revisiting the "bodies with no faces" argument to prop up a faked corpse theory is. hrm.

#umineko liveblog #thinking back to the first twilight and how everyone except for two people had their faces destroyed #which leaves you with two options. either suspect krauss and/or shannon or suspect everybody except those two #battler's thinking pushes you to the four but none of the siblings or gohda really indicated the ability to do a murderscheme like this #shannon almost definitely knew more about the witch narrative than she let on #but that makes it clear she was killed by mistake and was probably intended to survive for longer than she did #krauss is sly enough to maybe do the fake death thing #but he's not in on the witch narrative so there's no way he could have done any of this #and there's no way genji would permit number one failson supreme to survive #going to the other four. gohda is not relevant enough for this kind of plotting #rosa's character arc was tied up with maria and not the wider series of murders #rudolf had unfinished business with that 'i'm gonna die' thing we never got resolved #but i think if anything that mystery'll tie into solving the epitaph's riddle rather than the actual murder stuff #and kyrie was a tutorial character there to introduce some of the story's themes #she was a little sly and calculating but her whole thing was about how status triumphs over smarts on rokkenjima #so really none of the dead six fit a culprit profile nicely even if it is plausible

i feel like the crane and tortoise would have to be an old married couple it's what the splatoon devs would want

#i knew cal and mar were intended to be rivals and their statues show that #but i just found out today both the crane and tortoise are for longevity 🥺 oth together forever..... #kae.txt

That stethoscope's going to get flung at someone isn't it (sincerely, a medic who would love to be living that dream)

The thing with being Ratchet here is taking Combat Medic to its logical extreme and turning everything in the medbay into a weapon if necessary, so yes 😂

The only reason he doesn’t is because they’re expensive.

(He’s got mad kidney dish throwing skills and similar distance accuracy with a scalpel as well)

#inbox #The darker reason of course is that he’s VERY AWARE of his non-combatant status and how vulnerable he would be #As someone whose Docs Without Borders parents were killed in duty #So he’s got the mentality that he may one day be the last line of defense between attackers and his patients #And he intends to go down fighting

So like

White Lilly got a new description on the website I guess??

It kinda sounds like she's possessed now and wrestling with DE for control, but since it's quite White Lilly, she isn't making any headway at the moment??

It looks like DE is going in the direction of being some being of chaos made by the witches, lingering as a voice of darkness that lured white lily using her thirst for knowledge, which would be really interesting cause iirc she was kind of doing that in OB with Crab and Starfruit (might be just Pom in Starfruit's case, but idk how to unlock the story so I can find out xhdnxh)

I'm wondering now if DE continued WL's quest to bake the perfect cookie, succeeded, and when WL takes back control, DE hops into the perfect cookie body, which I think would be a nice tie in/ callback to what started all of this, that being WL's research into baking the perfect cookie (iirc)

Also WL's cape being transparent is really bugging me cause it's not transparent if viewed from the back in her prologue sprite and I hope that gets fixed hxndhdb

#shes getting love and despite my slight dislike of her im very happy for her and still intend to.nab her #i have a spot already plotted for her statue in my kingdom #white lily cookie #maybe shell grow on my like ice yeti did #still not running ice yeti lol #kinda wondering now if WL put that weird invasion of Creme Republic plan in DE's head

nomai sketch

#outer wilds #flameshadowart #based strongly off the concept art for the statue #i had just intended it to be a quick rough sketch but i did a little shading and got carried away haha #still working on getting a handle of their bodies. they're kinda odd and i need more sketches to figure out how to make them work

[annelidist]

i wonder how many complaints about the tedium of ico's combat come from not realising that activating those enchanted statues that react to yorda's presence immediately destroys all enemies in the room

#i only realised this on my current playthrough ;_; #the statues are present in most rooms with a scripted encounter so i think fighting towards them instead of #individually killing every enemy #is just the intended way to deal with monsters... #ico (game) #bones.txt

Protagonist and Antagonist 1/6! Sunshine - Calandra (Protag) and Zeta (Antag)

@majormeilani

#my art #Sunshine #Zeta Mikos #Calandra Chizen #tagging her so she actually sees it lmao #but this is 1/6 pictures I intend to make of the protags and antags of 6 of my stories :3 #only 6 cause I have a lot and these are the biggest ones! #there is actually TWO characters that qualify for protagonist status and Sunshine cause Ruben ranks the same as Calandra #they both have a lot of impact on the story and influence #but I went with Calandra cause she's my oc :) #I made Calandra slightly higher in height for the sake of the picture lol #maybe she's on her toes
