Truce au part 5 - Dream gets answers

Start Last part Next Part

#UTDR #UTMV #Truce au #My Art #Dream Sans #Nightmare Sans #(Staind voice) It's been a while ♩ #But I'm finally back on it!! #And Dream and Nightmare are having their first tentative meeting for this truce #Nightmare is also tired of fighting and ready to try and get along #Seeing his boys fight and scream but ultimately still look out for each other has softened him up to how much he misses his brother #I hope it works out or else I'll have to rename the comic #I'm sure nobody will interfere and try to ruin the peace between them tho what are the odds of that

[kottkrig]

i have ANOTHER question relating to all this. do u have any ocs who have undergone re-grafting or body mod n all that bychance or anyone you'd like to mod up

Funny you should ask that cause I'm in the process of redesigning one of them now hehe

The girl on the right frequently replaces parts of her skin when she gets tired of the old patch or if it gets damaged (don't ask how she does this so often)

#they both needed to look much rattier and more dead #but also still hot #i'm thinking abt renaming them too #ask

What is cue the sun? 👀

I need you to know I am kissing you on the mouth rn (platonically) -- I've been rotating this plot in the microwave since like. mid-august.

It's transcendence au (obvi) but here's the basic hook:

The year is 7098. The last Mizar (Fang Wu -- and shoutout to aba_daba_do for making a kickass OC) has been dead for four years now, and Alcor has been MIA for about the same amount of time. In their absence, the North American continent has broken out into a full-on, cross-continental war, with the main players being the Greater Austinian Monopoly (formerly known as Texas) and the Alaskadian Collective (Alaska, plus some parts of Canada and north-eastern Russia).

In a last-ditch effort to find some long-forgotten piece of magical information that could win the war, Alaskadian scientist Fatima Tursynbekova (an r!Ford) is sent to the abandoned site of what used to be Gravity Falls, accompanied by her troubled teenage daughter Olya (an r!Gideon). They're expecting to find little more than scant remnants of a town that was razed to the ground over thirty years before -- not much better than an archaeological expedition if anything.

However, what they find instead is a thriving small town -- the inhabitants of which are all completely and utterly convinced that it's the year 2016 (feat. the OG Mystery Twins and an extremely sus Stan Pines).

Anyways blah blah blah romance, secrecy, interpersonal drama but COME LOOK AT THE MAP I MADE I spent entirely too much time on it and I've been dying to share:

(Plus better quality image link for if tumblr steals all my pixels)

#this-is-gnomes-writing-tag #transcendence au #beloved mutuals #asks #cue the sun #if i mention a long fic this is what i'm talking about #unfortunately haven't had as much time to work on it now that the semester's started but trust me it still lives in my head rent free #anyway Tranzian as a language is something I stole from one of Gauvain's old fics because I was like 'that's so silly and meta i love it' #also pls don't look too hard at the translated city names i only speak english and russian i tried my best with what i had okay #yes Palo Rojo was just me renaming Baton Rouge to be less french bc I thought it would be funny #might go in there and make edits to stuff as i make changes to the worldbuilding but for now this is it!! #the only difference between ontarian french and regular canadian french is that the adjectives go before the nouns btw #this was definitely a conscious decision and not just something i made up on the fly after a translation error

mmmmmm listening to murder ballads of 1816: the year without a summer by american murder song and...i think it sparked some inspiration for a supernatural western original storyline where syb would make a good protagonist

#very little of her backstory and circumstances would change too #throw in a little 'mark of cain' here. some demons and angels there. #my biggest puzzle is dealing with the period typical sexism lmao #that said she would be cross dressing/disguising herself as a man #maybe i'll subtly adapt/rename 'jacob' into a demon with a hellhound in this one #dw i'm still working on katc and i want to finish her #but like a magpie i am suddenly distracted by a shiny new idea #mind you it's ALL VIBES right now #whining wombat

[blitzkennedyrieg]

servicemen doodles. i'm finally actually sitting down and trying to develop the story again because i want to start writing it soon . So scary i don't even know what i'm doing i'm good at coming up with characters character motives and plot points but Inexperienced in putting it together and revealing the shit i planned in a natural way and also figuring out exactly what happens between plot points. but that's ok i'll try still

#ricky art #whimsy and warfare #i renamed the story green on the red grounds but i'm still gonna tag it with whimsy and warfare because i am not about to go through every #post with the tag and replace it

[wereh0gz]

I slept on it and decided I'm going to actually rewrite these guys completely. May give Mel and Max new ghost themed names too but I'm still considering it. Will probably do Nox too but I don't think I'm gonna change him much lol

Anyways here's a sneak peek of their new designs. Subject to change

#wip #i'm. not gonna try to mimic the official ref sheets for these guys #too much work for me rn #i'll just do them like the refs for all my other non-sonic ocs #anyways. i'm thinking abt possibly renaming mel and max to specter and phantom respectively #not sure rn tho #also ruby's gonna go by mostly rue but her full name is still the same #i'm having fun with this tho. thinking abt their core character and what i'm changing vs what i'm keeping the same #also their motives and stuff like that #i even wanna design like a room or something for them. but i'm not gonna do that rn lol #feels like i'm breathing new life into them. it's nice #ESPECIALLY mel and max. they really needed it

@lemon-snake Shortcuts were made, and it isn’t what I was originally going for but... But hey! What matters is I got the injury thing. I think. Wait was it supposed to be on the left or right? I don’t remember it being mentioned so it should be fine... A year ago it was just a head with a black set of hair (why was it black btw? I've no idea, changed it to like, whiteish) Suddenly, I come back with the intentions of finishing it, and at least now it has shoulders. Wonder if I’ll ever finish that Danny Phantom whip I have, Probably not.  Mark my words, one day, I’ll come back and finish this the way I intended! I eventually came back to it didn’t I-

#Between Sorrow and Understanding #Or it doesn't have to be. #Tbh I wanted to draw in the cat as well #maybe one day I'll revisit and actually finish it the way I intended- #Danny Phantom #DID I MENTION I. ACCIDENTALLY MADE HIM A PRETTY BOY? #Vlad Masters #Vlad is the goat #was my favourite growing up #I want Vlad to rename his cat snowball now #cause god did I love that line #I'm obsessed with this fic #HOW DO YOU USE TUMBLR #I'VE HAD THIS APP FOR MONTHS AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND IT I- #myart

Today I offer you: cat with horns. Tomorrow? Who knows.

Alternatively: "N'jinh needed new dnc glam and I wanted to use the ultima horns he just got"

Secret bonus pic - showing off his pretty legs ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

#ffxiv #ffxiv screenshots #neri's screens #sun is still his worst enemy lol #he'll just start glowing in pics like no tomorrow #anyway uhhh extra proud that this was really cheap glam (idk what the poor lad has used his gil on) #and that he looks very good with the horns! #his rework is still underway buuuuuut i'm considering giving him horns on his lore #either these or those cute little red ones from pvp 🤔 #hawu'li has both but rarely uses either #so with another kitty it'd be fun to use them more #laziest troublemaker #i'll still throw this in his tag even tho that is gonna be renamed too after the rework lol

[vargaslovinghours]

Y’all are being subjected to my Sims 2 tests, so there

The other set of Vargases came over for a visit and Scriabin picked up Shmee and started talking to Scriabin through him. Very normal, very usual

I downloaded some circle-glasses recolours and hghghh they look so good! Closer every day to his final details! Getting ever closer!

Edgar too! I made him a custom hair with a lighter undercut - I’m mostly happy with it, probably could’ve shifted it a shade closer to his skintone but the texturing was weird no matter what :P And his stripey shirt! I wish Body Shop didn’t have that hands-on-hips pose lol, it looks so much better in-game, but that’s all the better :)

I got some new clothes for Todd as well! As soon as I saw this ‘fit I was like “Oh that’s 100% Todd there he is.” Scriadad hug ♥ So cute

Foot-dancing together stopp it’s so cute!!

The way he looks at them stoppp <3 <3 They kept doing this right up til they left for home haha, Todd’s giggles are the cutest

Used SimPE to save him to the Body Shop, I now have infinite copies of The Boyyyy ♪

Moved him in with his “parents” as just shadow people basically, they’re not gonna matter in a bit as long as I remember how to get the Social Worker/Adoption process to work properly. Get her Todd!!

Wanna play? :D

Menacing :(

Look, Todd, your new dads are here! Initially I wasn’t sure who I wanted to adopt him, got lots of options; the first passes, the married couple with their own Todd, Johnny?? He definitely doesn’t have the facilities for a child lol But these are the ones that showed up on their own, so the married Vargases are the winners!

Scriabin cares more about him than his actual parents ;; A stranger off the street shows him more care! Not that it’s a high watermark

Look at him being a good dad!

Weh, he just wants friends ;; Poor baby

Best timeline, thank you

While we wait for CPS, let’s get some other interactions in! Nny is mean so he tended to prank the other two with a nose flick - mostly Edgar lol ♪ Now kiss

“Oh please don’t break all my bones~ :3” I love Todd looking up at them haha <3

Pffft, I think he was talking about the other Scriabin and just how attractive he is. Classic Scriabin. Alternatively, also funny to imagine him bragging himself up about how he’s just so handsome that Edgar can’t help but love him hahaha ♪

Allow me to tickle you with my KNIFE! >:D

Get a load of this guy lol

He ended up passing out at one point - I forgot which motives make CPS show up >.> - and completely 0%’d his comfort, but for some reason stargazing increased it?? It’s the same ground wh

Is two not enough to satisfy your butterfly bloodlust child?? He ended up with three, I had him release them before he was picked up by the Social Worker - success!

He rolled a new Want as soon as Todd was taken away - “Wants to see Ghost of Todd” Woah, dark! :0

And here he is on the married Vargases’ lot!! Success!! I did it right!! Heck yeah! :D Unfortunately they were uh, indisposed at the time. Good job guys pft

Goes right for Shmee, he really is Todd <3

#The Sims 2 #My queue is too backlogged on main! And I /have/ been working on a lot of Vargas-specific Sims 2 retextures so it's fine lol #These are still tests - as said up top lol - so these events are ''non canon'' to what will eventually be my actual Vargas family #The beats will be similar tho! It's mostly just a lot of tweaking at this point to get everything just where I want before the domino falls #Edgar Nny and Todd are all so close to done - Scriabin still needs a bit more work lol of course he's the problem member ♪ #It'll be worth it tho! >:3c Handsome lad <3 #Did find out some interesting things with the Social Worker/Adoption process :0 Most importantly that adoption basically wipes everything #Wipes memories and family relations and changes the last name! So I'll have to go in with SimPE to change his name back once I'm there #I love SimPE haha ♪ I mean it's just an extension of how much I love TS2 but I just ughsjkhagf it's a good program! #It's extremely powerful and easy to get lost in if you don't know where to look but it's also incredibly user-friendly if you do know #Like - it's as easy as ''Open this sub-menu. Click this button. Rename this. You're all done'' it's just jdsflf Sims 2 my beloved <3 <3 #I decided to cheat down the Casils' relationship with Todd before everything else - thus why his father is menacing him for the prank #I've seen Sims with not high enough friendship to not take a water balloon as a fun invitation but not between a parent and child! #It's subtle but the parent being mad and the kid cowering :( It's sadly appropriate for Todd #I stuck the Casils in a box to wait things out and they ended up glitching frozen in bed - they're effectively dead by Motive but can't move #So they can't die /or/ live - feels fitting #If you'd like to recreate CPS taking your child away without straight up torturing them! - Hunger. You just need hunger lol #Alternately you can also have them miss class if you'd prefer to feed them - both will result in being taken away after long enough #If I return to this save it's gonna be confusing since both Todds are identical and have the same names lol #I do have a bunch of new clothes! Second shopping trip :D #There's something oddly fitting for the Vargases to adopt twin/clones lol - fun shenaniganary until the Final Version comes to pass #Although now that I think of it I Could also give them a toddler!Todd hmmmmmm #It's an idea :)

Undertale good game

#WPUT #WPVG #It feels so silly to be playing it finally Now after so long haha #I've put my Pacifist run away for the moment - it's still my first playthrough and I'd like to keep it that way #But I finally went and looked up how to have ''multiple saves'' and first of all #Lightweight games my beloved <3 <3 Being able to drag-and-drop files and it just works makes me So happy #I feel the same way about renaming Sims 2 town folders and just Having all my old towns saved ehehehe <3 <3 #So yeah! I backed up my Pacifist run and now have a Neutral run going - planning to play around with resetting #But even just casually - I missed an animation (one of Papyrus' weird physics things lol) and needed to do a soft reset to get it #i.e. quitting and going back to my last save #And Papyrus noticed :] #Of course I expect it from Flowey!

Fuck it, I'll make my own version of Bright and rewrite the entire family myself.

I already have some base but it's going to take a while to fully rework and remake this entire thing. The thing's rooted deep and I need to do a lot of research.

So until then, I'll pause my shit on Bright. Until I get a bit more of a solid footing and figure out more stuff.

#Alt rambles #I'm still researching for a last name #I think I'll rename Jack to Abirt though #Mainly because it's a reference to Bellerverse canon and it's one of my favourites #it's taking a while because I want to keep the fact that Bright's jewish #then realised I ltierally don't know shit about judaism so i dived headfirst to do a lot of research to make sure I get the facts right #i dont want to misrepresent anything but i also don't want to erase anything y'know? #i've been considering this remake for a long time now cause i personally have a lot of conflicting feelings about Bright #mainly because he's a really big comfort character and helped me coped through a lot of things yknow #i dont really wanna just drop him or change him but like yea #sorry the tags kinda got venty #bright remake process

[starred-system]

So I beat Cult of the Lamb I think. Why is he just a little guy now... I married him immediately and gave him a white tux

#text #cult of the lamb #i didn't rename him to narinder so he's got that long ass name still #also I'm making him fuck like hell #he'll never die so I'm making him give me infinite offspring

When you're building a fantasy world and you need to make a conlang but you don't know shit about linguistics and you already have 9834893985439 other things to do for your project

#Not Pets #I'm this 👌 close to just saying fuck it and picking human languages and renaming them to Draconic and Sphinx and etc. #Latin would be perfect for Draconic because it's an old ''dead'' language and dragons have nearly been driven to extinction #I could use Greek for Sphinx because the sphinx are based on the Greek version. #But I don't want people to read my story and go ''omg so this fantasy species is basically this human race???'' #The other big problem is scientific names #Animals still have the same scientific names like they do IRL and I cannot just remake hundreds and thousands of scientific names #Another problem is human names!!! I already have human names like Gunnar and Maisie and Sigrunn!!! #So I guess I could have human languages exist #and just have the species speak them #but then what about their own languages? Why do they not have their own languages??????? #Maybe I could just have humans speak Human Languages and make up new languages for the new species #But then I would have to include like every human culture and deity and ugh #Screaming crying shitting tearing my hair out etc.

[haarute]

i haven't even beaten the game yet

bonus:

#i have a bad habit of taking screenshots of nearly every line or event #giving modern gamers a dedicated ''screenshot button'' was a mistake #also friendly reminder that yakuza 0 has a 1024 save limit that the game can register HOWEVER the file will still be created in the folder #all you need to do is get into the game files and rename them. i'm talking about PC of course.

[colorstormx]

what if I renamed Storm as Zephyr instead. what if I renamed myself Zephyr. hmm. hmmmmmm.

#nothing permanent decided just yet of course #but I was just reminded that the word exists and hit damn. it sure does have a certain pull to it #if I do rename Storm then like... 'Storm' would definitely still stick around as a nickname at the very least #but like. I'm honestly considering it for my own name. I've been looking for a better one #my birth name is just ehhhh to me. I don't feel a ton of connection to it really #and Color is fine for online spaces/with people who know this side of me. but it's not really something I tend to introduce myself as irl #I mean to be fair Zephyr might not be taken much more seriously either but it does have a certain feel that I like #eh. if it doesn't really really stick with me then maybe it'll end up as the name for an alternate Storm form or something #like that angel design I made for her yeaaaaars ago #ironically it's about this time of year that I decided to change her name from Color to Storm. that was back around new years 2017... #holy FUCK how is that SEVEN years ago #I. huh. what .. what the fuck. yeah it was winter 2016/17 I'm pretty sure? if not then it was 2015/16 which means eight years and. man. huh. #okay checking old refs it was in fact 2017 when she officially became Storm #wild. #anyway that's tonight's 2:30am thoughts #the snowjag speaks
