#a color story app

[yourqueenb]

As a continuation of this ask that I responded to, all the things I mentioned are just parts of the overall issue I have with Blades…. which is that, in the grand scheme of things, I feel like MC is simply a plot device for the other characters rather than a fully developed character who has a fully developed and satisfying arc herself. It’s clear that Nia’s is the story the writers really wanted to tell considering how intertwined her characterization/development and the overall world building are. They basically even admitted as much.

So my question is why not just make her the MC if that’s really what you wanted on the not so down low? They still could’ve incorporated the skill mechanic. Why create a whole player character just to have us running to solve everyone else’s problems/support them while acting like everything that happens to us exists inside of a vacuum in the meantime? So far, all we’ve really been doing in this book is reporting where the group needs to go, telling them what to do, having heart to hearts with them when they need help moving to the next stage of their development, and then being spoonfed information through the lore tablets, which are apparently more for the players’ benefit than MC’s since they barely affect how we respond in game anyway. I’m fine with being the leader or the glue that holds everyone together, but to me it’s unsatisfying that that’s all we are as the main character.

We somehow become more competent due to the skill mechanic but no less clueless at the same time. We have all this terrible shit happen to us, but are only offered a few lines’ description of how that’s affected us. And then the rest of the attention goes to setting up the light vs. shadow conflict and our friends, who get to have personal and compelling conflicts of their own. I mean I feel like MC is more of an emotional support animal to them than an actual person with dreams, feelings, and a (minimal) background. Imo the only character who’s getting shafted almost as much as us is Imtura.

And all of this might make it sound like I hate Blades, but it’s quite the contrary actually. It’s still one of my favorite series and has a lot of fun moments and lovable characters. But I think at this point, its flaws have become too large for me to ignore. So that’s still affecting my enjoyment a bit and probably the reason why I’m so upset with how certain things are being handled. Of course I’m aware that Blades isn’t the only book that has some of these issues though. I think it’s just a little more disappointing because I expected more

#choices bolas #choices blades #blades of light and shadow #choices stories you play #playchoices #and again it’s not lost on me that a lot of my opinion is probably colored by being on Mal’s romance route alone #from what I’ve seen of Tyril’s route he at least seems to care a bit more #he even shows concern for MCs who have a purely platonic relationship with him #I’m not sure about Nia and Imtura #but even still I feel like MC isn’t being given nearly enough from the writers regardless of who you’re romancing #also I’m still not sure I’ve really explained my thoughts clearly #I feel like I just typed a lot and then decided to post bc I don’t have the capacity to try to organize this any further #so it just never would’ve gotten posted if I waited for that 🤦🏽‍♀️ #but either way I hope it’s semi coherent and doesn’t just sound like a lot of whining and rambling 💀😭 #choices #choices app

Presenting:

My very first AU: Welcome Home Scooby AU

Lmao i already gushed about it on the original post but it's still so funny to me, imagining the neighbors in like classic scooby doo hijinks lol

I just had to draw the gang all together and make it all pretty!

Here's the original post btw! (I forgot to link it) also the full colors are in the notes of that post

#lol i imagine this as just being like a one off bit rather than like a whole au but its still so funny #bc the story i have in my head would probably just be like an episode long #ill get around to drawing it all probably maybe lol #im just real slow at drawing and then transferring into my drawing app and coloring #it took me so long to make this lol #and i found out my drawing app doesn't have a symmetry tool which would've been REAL helpful for drawing Home and his design #its all a little off even the gangs proportions #but i tried #i had to stop working on it bc i kept going in and making little changes for a day or two i had to stop myself lol my app couldn't take it #just did a simple background too #anyway! #i wont fill up the tags completely lol #i would love feedback! #and any questions too! please! #ill have to remember to link the original post where im talkin about the designs and stuff #ok! #welcome home #welcome home au #welcome home scooby au #like man i do not wanna tag all the characters rn #scooby doo au #my posts #my arts #forgot to link the og post until after i got a bit of activity tch #i guess its ok

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

so recently i decided to roll the 'what will my human!pericles look like This Time' roulette again, only this time in color for once! it's always itched at me how his design looks like a totally different person before and after the timeskip, having been through the wringer aside, so i thought i'd take a shot at combining my interpretation of the two. (the creators pretty obviously took cues from his voice actor for his present-day design, and it's been fun to draw on that too while still keeping the design my own.)

i mostly like how it's turned out, as far into it as i managed to get before i had to take a break and my executive function stalled out; i kept putting off posting it, meaning to come back and finish it later, but i finally decided to go ah fuck it i'd rather it be out there unfinished than disappear into my sketch folder forever. or get fucked up by my trying to continue it while Not in the Groove, especially given how difficult the painting tools i've got available are to wrangle with. Sometimes You Just Gotta Call It

there's a lot of things i'm eyeing to hammer out more next time--i can never seem to figure out what the hell to do with his hair, for one; for another they did a great job at getting across 'babyface that has become aged/haggard' with his designs, and that balance can be difficult to nail when the art app i use really brings out the Everyone is Soft and Babyface in my artstyle. it's a real bastard, but i liked drawing him with this brush a lot and i'm looking forward to working it out more if i can.

the upshot of this is Lo, Cunty Grandpa Be Upon Ye

bonus flats, including an early-to-mid-twenties edit, as well as a couple speed doodles from the same page:

#sdmi #scooby doo: mystery incorporated #professor pericles #ricky owens #humanizations #god i really do need to sit down and Actually Properly Work Out my design for his semi-humanoid-but-still-a-furry form #it's what i'm thinking of 90% of the time i write/talk/etc about him and it's frustrating how hard it is to actually translate it to paper #the story behind why this one is in color for once is hilarious and an accident #but then i rolled with it because i liked the resulting color palette and figured it was a good opportunity to practice darker skin tones #which is annoying to wrangle in this app; because once again the painting tools are terrible #and it is incredibly easy to make dark complexions look Grungy #but fuck it might as well practice to the extent i can for now #also as far as i'm concerned this gay bitch 100% wears makeup he was just a bit subtler about it before the asylum #afterward he just went Full Edgy Messy Goth and in this and this alone he is valid #me seeing a homosexual bird furry with a beak darker than the rest of their face: oh lipstick? #SDMItag #whosebaby makes things #whosebaby draws

birthday doodle dump

#bonk.png #undescribed #<- its like almost 1 am as i type this tag im not adding ids to them atm #first image was drawn literally as i was turning 19 to pass time n to lament that i cant go to lesbian bars yet #second image is from september i drew the red doodles when i first downloaded the app im now using on my phone #n the first one i drew there was two match melodys (the one with a square head n line on her face) the second og match doodle is covered by #cordelia cause she is what the text says (cause i just drew her shape n then didnt draw on clothes cause my battery was low) #then theres a raz doodle my psn oc aster (still havent fully worked out her design) another match melody n then kucumber (green haired girl) #who is also the first doodle in the third image so nice i drew her twice anyway most of the doodles on the third image are cause #i was feeling nostalgic n looking through my deviantart gallary (i dont remember my password n its been years since i used it) #so theres kucumber willow (the two red doodles one of which is mostly covered up) n then redraws OF redraws #first is doggirl i redrew her more based off of her og design than her first redesign cause i liked the colors there more #the green horse is sour tart whos a redesign of one of my very first ocs (og name lightening heart. she was a nothing burger. sad ✌️) #n then ''cordelia'' again the second horse is positioned there cause i didnt like the rest of the doodle n then i remembered that i could #just delete the lower half so i did that 👍👍 #second horse is speckled sweets they n sour tart are besties and are also both next gen fcs 😭 sour tart's parents are undecided atm #but shes an apple n speckled sweets is the kiddo of pinkie n sunburst (pinkie n cheese have an ever expanding polycule for design fun) #fourth image has mallow (cat girl also from my deviant) drew her entirely from memory so her design n colors are slightly off #nervous girl who is just a half redraw of a character i made in the pastel friends(?) app #and neptune whos from like a half story i made back in like 2020? n its like one of my older stories that i look back at n makes me go #''hey. whats ur problem??'' while still mostly remembering what i was thinking making it cause it wasnt that long ago #so! neptune's story thing is like a weird supernatural phenomenon happens while shes driving n causes her to crash #n once she wakes up shes like invisible to everyone n is confused as hell cause when she walks to get help (cause her phone was broken in th #crash n she has no noticeable injuries) no one responds to her cause yknow invisible until one person does who is. her psychic ex she had a #falling out with. not great but saturn is the only person who can see her n unintentionally causes neptune to freak out cause oh shit only #SATURN who is a PSYCHIC can see me rn am i dead?? but no shes fine neptune is just like halfway between the human plane n ghost(?) plane #they have like a weird thing going on cause neptune is stuck at their house n theres no solution to neptune's situation #cause saturn is like the weakest of the psychics in their family n the rest of their family is off all over the place dealing with the #varying fallout of the phenomenon that caused neptune's situation (she was the only one who got like halfwayies) #so saturn n neptune are stuck together alone waiting for one of saturn's family members to come home

baldies gate is very difficult

#its so confusing LMAO at least for me who knows next to nothing abt dnd #i dont understand how spells work and im getting stressed bc idk if quests rlly disappear if i dont complete them fast enough #but also i read that once you beat the main story its joever so maybe i should explore more but i feel like my character is wasting time #and is gonna die the next second if i dont progress the main story ⚰️ the green lady is doing a great job hammering that into my brain #anyway i cant take screenshots of my character bc my tv has fucked up colors and i made the character and guardian based on them #so when i look at a screenshot on the ps app and the colors are different im like '........ that is not my beautiful boy!!!!!' #like it rlly bothers me. anyway i chose a bard of course. very basic and again idk how to play so its all a mess hdjdjdjd #im hoping i figure it out soon bc it is such a cool game. just wish i understood anything </3 #i love my character tho im very invested in his story. maybe i shouldve made my first character the 'goody two shoes' type #to make it easier LMAO #but as ive said before i rlly need to get myself out of my comfort zone when it comes to games #i didnt wanna just breeze past the game but actually consider my decisions. turns out its exhausting lmaooo #anyway sorry im rambling i like the game but im just dumb and stress out over things that dont matter way too easily

[catholicjinx]

you're the only person i know who's into project sekai and i very much want to get into that fandom, any tips?

oooohoohohoo u just opened the gates to hell bro

download the game and experience the Horrors. good luck

#its colorful stage on the app store btw #i suggest starting with a group like leo/need or wxs #when you start off you get to pick a group via miku #just go with the one with the purple haired twink itll set you in the right direction #other than that just play it your own way! #theres stories you can read through at your own pace and the gacha aspect is super nice because its fast paced enough but not too slow like #other games (genshin etc) #but everyone here is super nice! #just a tip: everyone is gay #everyone is in a mlm or wlw or nblw relationship and there is no escaping it #also the songs are fun as FUcK #just have fun with it! youll figure out your own rhythm eventually ^_^

#LoftnetRP

In the world of Loftnet, there are four main races. Humans, Elves, The Flighted, and Halfbreeds. The term Halfbreed refers collectively to anyone with Flighted blood in them, whether or not they have wings. While exploring this concept, I created this harpy character. She doesn’t have a role in the story, but I draw her from time to time and she lives in a little corner of my mind.

Okay bro’s got the guns out and his hair pulled back 👀 I didn’t mind his old look, but I think I might actually like this one a bit better

#choices bolas #choices blades #blades of light and shadow #choices stories you play #playchoices #I wish he still had the blades on his back though #those looked cool #I’m also not sure about this color scheme but I do like that his clothes are just a bit warmer in general #I think it makes sense considering his character arc #he was very cold to us in the beginning of book 1 and still remained a bit aloof throughout #but the group became a family by the end so now he’s in warmer colors to kind of represent that #choices #choices app #pixelberry studios #pixelberry

If you told me a year ago that I would get into makeup and then obsess over it to the point where I legit document in the notes app on my phone, the different color and product combinations I’ve used along with which clothes they look the best with, I would’ve asked if you were high. 🙃😅

#and now here i am…furiously typing away in my notes app about different makeup combinations and which scrubs they look the best with #this is primarily because my dumbass can never fully remember what colors/products i used to achieve a certain look #so i’m writing this shit down now so it’s easier to choose which makeup to use for the day #what i’ve discovered since getting into makeup is i like to use colorful make just as much as i like to wear colorful scrubs #and what’s more is i ALSO like coordinating my makeup colors to MATCH my scrubs #so if i’m wearing blue scrubs i want to use blue eyeshadow and blue lipstick so it all matches #i think part of why i’ve been enjoying this so much is that coordinating the colors like this makes it all feel like art #it’s like i’m drawing and coloring but instead of my tablet or a piece of paper i’m doing it on my face #makeup really IS an art form and i can’t believe it’s taken me this long to fully realize it and how much fun it can actually be #not me rocking up to work in bright sparkly green eyeshadow and light blue lipstick to match me Toy Story pizza alien scrubs #thankfully no one has given me any crap for my choice of makeup colors so far #and i would like to think that it’s because i really try to match all the colors i use with my scrubs #so it at least all looks good together #but more than likely it’s because i’m not hurting anyone by doing this and my face is still recognizable #it’s not like i’m over here painting my face to look like pennywise or some shit #the most ‘extreme’ thing about my makeup is just the colors #i’m not doing any crazy designs or anything #just using colors you probably wouldn’t wear on a day to day basis #such as bright green eyeshadow and light blue lipstick #the way i see it is if i’m allowed to wear colorful scrubs and it’s not an issue then why would colorful makeup be an issue? #tomorrow i’m going to wear blue-purple eyeshadow and purple lipstick with my dark blue scrubs #because i think it will look neat #will update on how it turns out
