Some Ace Attorney D&D characters for the silly!!

First we have Phonics Write (hehe silly) for a muppet Monster of the Week campaign my sister is DMing. He’s 2 feet tall (pay no attention to his lack of size consistency in the doodles). Trixie the Rabbit is my friend’s character for the campaign and she’s a big bird-type Muppet (making her giant 😭) and she’s a magician. She unintentionally fits Trucy in more than one way (i say unintentionally because my friend isn’t into AA)

Second, we have Milo van Huntridge, a fallen aasimar vampire sorcerer that I haven’t used yet, but I drew him in the first doodle page for the silly (but he doesn’t exist in that campaign world at all haha)

Anyways, just as I love making robot designs for characters, I also love making D&D characters out of my favourites :)

I Am All In Rewatch - Jess & Rory- Episode 2x5 (Part 1)

Yeah, you're a hot dude, but I ain't. I ain't passing up a hot meal when I'm hungry. Guy. I mean, you know, you kind of matter, but not right now. She's her own person. She's grown, you know, she's growing into the spectacular woman to be and it's just this strong, empowered one but still hell bent for leather because who mommy is and who daddy is, right? So there, so there's that opening... It'll cause her some heartache maybe, but it's necessary...And I thought, in terms of the acting he had, he displayed an appropriate amount of you know, sort of internal confusion and internal angst and um where he was that he was that guy that thought he knew everything, yet he knew he didn't, and he was angry about it and he just he just couldn't. He had no patience for conformity or society. It made me made you want to find out what happened to him and help him out, and it really made me gravitate toward him. So that's the subtlety in his performance that is so brilliant. It draws you in. You know, he doesn't overdo it, He just gives you a taste. -Scott

I packed myself lunch for school today and I feel like such a six year old. Like omg yay I have my pb&j and my goldfish and my applesauce, I can't wait to go to class and learn about word sounds!

#that is the exact meal i packed #and im going to my phonology class. which is about word sounds #what is the difference between a grad student in linguistics and a first grader in a phonics class

Writing feels soooo good in your brain. Has anyone invented a way that makes it not literally the most impossible thing in the world

#literally it’s so difficult you’re toiling for hours and then the output is like a couple paragraphs that sound like they’ve been plucked #from a phonics reader

Trollish Dictionary

This is a project I’ve been working on when my writing brain isn’t working, and it’s only just begun, but I thought I’d share my progress! I don’t have the grammatical structure figured out yet, but I’ve got roughly 80 words so far with many more to come. Feel free to use any of this so long as you give me credit!

#toa #tales of arcadia #Trollhunters #troll culture #trollish #trollish dictionary #conlang #Conlanging is hard and I'm not very good at it yet #but it is so much fun!! #Feedback is more than welcome haha #I can also share my phonics cheat sheet with y'all at some point as well #need to do the Gumm-gumm version later too #there will be plenty of similarities since they share a root language #but Gumm-Gumms will tend to shorten things and rely on the history of the language for understanding it

[Translation] capsule in girls '60s magazine (Feb. 2004)

When I first saw their music videos, the striking visuals immediately caught my eye. Simplistic designs, vivid color schemes on the outfits and sets… I can't describe the style as anything other than '60s-inspired. For the first edition of our "Pick Up Artist" feature, it's one whose existence fascinates me — let's take a look at the charm of capsule.

capsule is a music unit consisting of Nakata Yasutaka, whom manages the sound, art direction, design, concept work and so on, and vocalist Koshijima Toshiko. Nakata directs the image, visual aspects, and songs while Koshijima performs it all, resulting in their unique style. - original interview by Aikawa Chisato, translation by ystk-archive -

The reason behind their '60s-inspired visual style

Nakata: To be honest, I don't have any particular attachment to the '60s. I just like unique and minimalistic things, stuff with interesting shapes and clean designs and whatnot. It started when I got into interior design, and at first I especially liked Space Age furniture.¹ That's changed a little recently — I like pieces made out of wood but still with that outerspace kind of vibe. Even when it's made from wood, it doesn't feel natural, it still has this sort of odd look. When it comes to the '60s, I like the plywood that they often used. But I'm intrigued by Karimoku furniture too (laughs).²

— So would you say you're more interested in space and not the '60s?

Nakata: Yeah, and I guess sci-fi movies played a part in that. In movies like Men in Black you often see Tulip chairs, though I don't think they were used to evoke a retro or '60s feel on purpose.³ With films like that I tend to focus more on the furniture and not the overall atmosphere; if anything, I see furniture along with fashion as objects that look nice when put into a scene you're taking in as a whole. I like to come up with unconventional settings. Women are usually depicted in sci-fi films as secretaries, all wearing identical wigs and uniforms, and I like that kind of weird atmosphere. So instead of me consciously liking '60s aesthetics, I wound up thinking they were cool without making the connection that they were from that decade. I also love clothes that incorporate simplistic, striking designs, since they're like spacesuits (laughs).

— How do you feel about wearing clothes like that?

Koshijima: I'm also not obsessed with the '60s or anything, but I like to play around with that era's clothing and makeup styles. It's more fun than just wearing normal clothes.

— Have you two had similar tastes all along?

Nakata: Our tastes used to be completely different. I feel like she's adjusted to match me.

— So Koshijima-san is committed to being a model?

Koshijima: Yep. I haven't changed my approach, ever since the beginning.

— Are there times where you feel like your tastes really are different?

Koshijima: I don't think so. If we actually were fundamentally different, I don't think we'd be working together. Strangely enough, when I look at the materials I'm given, I start to think they're cute. Nakata: When I get an idea, I suggest it first. Koshijima: But he doesn't show me clothes or anything directly, instead he shows me photos and videos… Like I'm being brainwashed (laughs). The more he introduces me to all kinds of cool things, the more similar we become. After I watched the materials he gave me, poses and dance moves just started coming naturally to me without even realizing it.

— Maybe you ran across something from the '60s that left an impression and that ended up coming through in your image.

Nakata: Yeah, there are a lot of easy explanations for it. I wonder if we're more like a new product with a retro design that would fit nicely in someone's living room, rather than something that could be found in an authentic '60s vintage shop. I think even if we intentionally collected oldschool aesthetics from that era and tried to copy those, it'd still turn out differently, because peoples' concept of the '60s and the real '60s are two different things. But if you take parts of that concept people have of that decade and use them, you wind up with something that has the right feel to it. For me right now, the concept I have in mind is the "style" of the '60s. Instead of making clothes or objects to match up with the '60s aesthetic, the styles are already floating around in my head, and then I make content that reflects that. There were a lot of useless shapes — like aren't record players from back then weird-looking? The technology of them and the half-dome shape are of that time, but the way they look on the outside is as if someone was imagining the future while designing them. It's interesting how these days it's the opposite: now the exterior designs of things are retro while the tech inside is highly advanced. And I like both (laughs). I even like things that seem out of place. I'm drawn to a sense of disharmony.

— Would you say the essence of the '60s is woven into your music?

Nakata: Not intentionally. I think the things I like tend to show through my music on accident. Basically I want to make any music, as long as it's cute.

— So do you feel like music is essentially an object?

Nakata: Music is something I started doing because I thought I could create it. It was right when I was in junior high school, they'd made a lot of progress with technology so making cassette tapes became fun. Part of that was because I liked the feeling of winding a tape up. I liked playing around with machines more than the music aspect itself and, when it comes to decorating, I even like the look of a tape deck sitting in a room. So that's why I want our CDs to be sold in regular stores along with other kinds of merchandise. I don't think music should be classified as something special and separate; it's good if it's just one part of the total amount of belongings in a space. Rather than wanting people to listen to our music seriously, I'd be happy if they enjoy the atmosphere it gives when they play it out in the open.

¹ Space Age design was characterized by "sleek, aerodynamic lines and geometric forms," "dominated by bright, bold hues" and was often constructed of manmade materials such as plastic. You can read more about it here. ² Karimoku is a Japanese brand of all-wood furniture boasting superior craftsmanship. You can read more about it and look at examples here. ³ This is the famous Tulip chair.

It's obvious a lot of you are more concerned with not being labeled as aphobic instead of actually supporting aspec people and not being aphobic.

#aphobia #aspec #aro #ace #aroace #aromantic #asexual #its proven with how many ppl leave out repulsed aspecs or non-partnering aspecs #and when called out they get defensive on being called aphobic #instead of like changing to better support the group they claim they arent phonic against #and its proven when you see any a-attraction talk abt their experience #and they throw a fit but they arent aphobic because aspec “only includes aro/ace” #they hear about amatonormativity and laugh abt it and call it stupid #but they cant possibly be aphobic! they support ace and aro people honest! #just as long as they dont express anything that messes with their current world view #because questioning if they might be wrong is worse. #why actually support aspecs when they can just pretend they do to feel good about themselves #because 'i can never be hateful im soooo progressive'

Also I just realized one of the two Chinese translations of Taylor's first name literally means "too happy" and I find that adorable

#rwrb #red white and royal blue #rwrb movie #firstprince #alex claremont diaz #taylor zakhar perez #the other translation is completely phonic and doesn't form a coherent meaning #nick's name's translation is a little...weirder lol #rwrb cast #rwrb rambles

i had never heard of it before but WOW. first off, huge fan of the shaw > shavian transformation.

but the idea of english with such a shallow orthography feels WRONG

#we're not spanish! we can't just pronounce things the way they're written! where would the hooked on phonics people make their scam money!
