THE BIG OLD JANUARY 2023 PICREW UPDATE

so another kind soul reminded me about picrew updates, and i realized the last time i'd posted screenshots was... november 2021?! man time moves fast in a pandemic. the silver lining is that, when you wait that long between updates, there's a lot of new stuff to share!

as of today, the unique item count is 186. obviously, there's a lot more in the game than what i show in these posts! the amount of categories is more or less set at this point - now it's a question of adding variety to what's already there. i'm at peace with the thought that finishing it will take as long as it takes. it's a for-fun project, and it's still fun, so on we go.

[let's not wait another year next time, though!]

i think the barbie movie would have a profound psychological impact on hua cheng

prev comic / next comic / follow for still more hualian barbie movie content because i am not done

bonus angsty version 🎉 i hate love expressions just a couple tiny lines on the mouth and eyebrows and it goes from silly to sad

:(

#this is a haha hua cheng devoted joke but idk it’s nice to think about how much of his identity and self worth is placed on xie lian #obviously since he was 10 most of his major life choices were to serve the crown prince #but in the interval time he became one of the most dangerous men in the world and decided it was his responsibility to create a ghost haven #he works on artistic mastery and alternatively brokers deals with and evades assassination attempts by heaven #if asked i think he would say he only does good for dianxia’s sake (What Would Dianxia Do) and is actually a bad person #and similar stuff about his combat and art skills #theres a question here about how much of his success is due to being such a determined person and how much #of it is luck from ‘the savior’ reversing the star of solitude #how much hua cheng is left when you take away xie lian? #he would say nothing #xie lian would say a billionaire genius playboy philantrophist etc #tgcf looooooves to talk about destiny and free will and so do i #all this to say if it was in character for hua cheng to cry at a movie hed be sobbing #this can be read as pre or post confession btw #the poll decided which version of the comic was the ‘main version’ above the cut #tgcf #art #comic #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #hob #mxtx #my art #barbie #barbie movie #tgcf meme #lmao

ikevil coming out in english this year has reminded me of the fact that all the servants at crown castle are deaf/mute AND that all the suitors are fluent in british sign language

#diversity win! the villains’ lair full of dangerous murderers is the most disability friendly workplace in london! #like logically it makes sense that they need reliable servants who cant blab all their secrets but it’s WILD to think about #i bet the paycheck and benefits are amazing too like if you get hired at the crown you’re set for life basically #ikevil #random rambles

Bad dark joke but I feel like cultural representations of crown prince rudolf and the extreme overemphasis/influence of 1888-1889 in discussions of him are kind of like the internet meme thing with blobfish. Like that's his sad corpse you're parading around and showing to people,,,,,

#kdpaofksöfkfldlfl #for context: the common 'ugly fish' bl*bfish memes are not cute because they're dead animals whose tissues have exploded painfully. they #normally live deep underwater in a high pressure environment and look like more normal fish. but the gruesome corpse version became a meme #and is everywhere #i feel like crown prince rudolf is like that too #WITH THE CAVEAT that obviously we shouldnt hush hush mayerling because doing so would obviously sweep a lot of bad stuff under the rug #but the thing is... most mayerling media isnt interested in justice for mary or new perspectives anyway. its the same shit conservative news #wrote about in literal 1889........ #and theres this wider tendency to assume that 1888 rudolf is the only one there is and extrapolate his erratic and violent behaviour from #that period to other eras WITHOUT CREDIBLE EVIDENCE. like its just assumed that mentally ill ppl are always crazy and dangerous #and also this essentialist assumption that because he was so destructive in 1888/89 he never did anything good in his life before that

shoutout to that one physical therapist who looked at scans of my spine and looked at me in my dnd t shirt and said there was just no way someone my age would have this level of wear and tear without an intense athletic career. like i was gonna say oh right there ARE all those high school football injuries i lied about not having in my medical history. there WAS my secret stint with the russian ballet. im actually sixty five, i just look really young for my age. what do you mean theres no way the images are right before your goddamn eyes.

#i also started greying at thirteen and had to get crowns at like 20 cause my front teeth were dangerously worn down #what do u want from me.

[seawitchkaraoke]

me, watching crown of candy, chewing on my fingernails, chanting to myself: ''it's a game and they're having fun, it's a game and they're having fun, it's a game and they're having fun'''

#a crown of candy #dimension 20 #dropout #the constant contradiction of myself #is that i like dark shit and danger #but i do not actually like anything bad happening to any characters ever #except i do??? but i don't? #basically i'm an angst with a happy ending bitch #happy endings very much not guaranteed here #they have backup characters #breannan is being so mean #someone is gonna die and i don't want any of them to die! #aaaaaaaaa

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO OUR DEAR MICHAEL!!!

Due to my schedule, my celebrating is going to be a little bit more lowkey - wearing a t-shirt/earrings and listening to some of his music. And of course, just generally keeping his spirit alive as always!!

I hope he can feel how much his fans love him from all over up there!

We love you, Michael! 🥹💜

#here's just some sweet pictures of him i found recently #idk if the flower crown one is photoshopped #but i LOVE IT #michael jackson #happy birthday #happy birthday MJ #bad era #dangerous era #badangerous #birthday post

throwing another picrew update to the wind: i can't believe i'm saying this, but i've finished all 30 base outfit styles! it may not look like much, but this was one of the game's biggest, most challenging sections. man, it feels good to have knocked it out. [for those showing up for the first time, these tops will be further customizable with decorative trim/accessories and different sleeves.]

"hey, AK, why do you keep using comic sans for these picrew update graphics?" to poke fun at how absurd the development process has been. i've been at it for so long now that picrews went out of fashion and came back in again. you know, like bell-bottom jeans. the grind continues!!

🪞,🔥, and🐍. You said the Academic was kind of bad at Glasswork, didn't you?

🔥 — Least favourite Master of the Bazaar?

The Academic and Stones do not get on well. The Academic will occasionally do espionage chores for it in The Khanate, but by now, that’s more of a duty to the group as a whole. The Academic has had a few peeks into the pasts and inner lives of its colleagues, and while Pages, Wines and Spices took it relatively well (Fires is in there too, but doesn’t know), Stones merely re-experienced its trauma.

Even if we disregard biological reasons for hoarding, each of the Masters has an emotional reason for their favorite subject. It’s pretty obvious that Stones’ aggressive hoarding is either in response to or was exacerbated by getting collected itself. It’s not a hoarder of rocks, but a hoarder “of value,” which means that if unchecked, there is no way that Stones wouldn’t simply expand its own hoard to encompass everything else. The other masters have concrete-if evil- goals and interests. But Stones seems like it's trying to get all the value and power not out of enjoyment, but so that it can pin things up where they can’t hurt it. And Stones may no longer be called the Khan of Shackles, but we know exactly what it was known for collecting in the Fourth City.

Also, Stones’ manner of speech: its penchant for antiquated personal pronouns (thee, thou, etc) isn’t just a writing quirk to make Stones sound different, but means that The Academic can tell exactly when Stones means to talk down to them. Wines might use the Royal “We,” but it desperately craves jocular companionship. Pages might make up words to sound smart, but it does honestly want others to use them too. Stones uses language as yet another barricade. That’s a personal pet peeve of The Academic’s.

The Academic is also not a fan of Eaten. They turned away from the name when they realized that they actually could win the Marvellous. To seekers, mourning Eaten is all-encompassing. The Academic doesn’t know the whole story, but whoever Candles was is gone now. Seeking is an inadequate way of balancing the scales. And for their money, if you want to find meaning in nothing, The Discordance is a magnificent and rich expanse of the beauty of meaningful nothing. Seeking is a study closing your eyes very tightly and ignoring beauty.

(Note: If you point out that Stones might have collected living humans, but Pages uh. Pages has some. Uh. You know. Bodies? You’d think that Happles would be the one to but we all know Happles just eats them. Anyway. If you point that out then The Academic will agree with you that Pages is an unforgivable monster but you’ll still see them a day later, humming merrily pushing a wheelbarrel full of proscribed material, even though their Connected: The Masters is maxed out)

🐍 — Snakes or cats?

Neither. Much better to keep playing both sides against one another. If they’re distracted at home, then they have less time to fuss about in Real business in London.

🪞 — Do they enjoy being in Parabola? Why or why not?

Parabola’s a necessary evil, and while there are interesting things to find, the Academic would tell you that directly interfering with the dreams of others is the greatest cheat of all: if we bypass a man’s conscious mind, we bypass rational discussion.

This is of course utter hogwash; The Academic’s real argument is “I don’t want these grapes anyway, they’re sour.” They barely made it through the parabola section of Heart’s Desire, and the whole place is quite a lot of nonsense to them. It’s like this tumblr post:

Also if word about Parabola got out, it could be a serious business competitor to the railroad. If there’s ever an exceptional story about someone trying to use parabolan mirror-jaunts as a fast mode of travel, expect the academic to shut that down immediately and with nasty, extreme prejudice.

#well that got pretty long #asks #fallen London #the ex-disgraced academic #If Stones is your favorite you have good taste though #Adornment and Sugarplum both really make it stand out as a strong character #I get the feeling that it was legit very very dangerous back in the skies #If it wasn’t so good at collecting then it wouldn’t have been such a crown jewel itself

Hey you look like you love SwapDream AU so since I’m really late do you know the lore? I mean, does Dream want to kill every negatives beings like the version of Dreamswap or???

The OG SwapDream by Song_A? I like the designs! And the base story, and personalities from what I remember. The whole thing of Swad (Swap Dream) and OG Nightmare I do not.

I prefer he wants to eradicate all negativity over whatever *that* is hsjfkds

The Lore from what I recall is Dream was More Aware of Nightmare's bullies and when the attack against Nightmare and the tree of feelings happens, Dream eats the 999 apples. The comic is no longer on tumblr but i remember vividly that the energy of the positivity burned him from the inside out. Dream is dead, his body more a puppet for the positive energy controlling him. Hence the different colors in his sockets. The light's energy also made his wings and made the crown float. He's crazy and forces positivity unto others.

My Nightingale and Phoenix follow that story somewhat but their lore is kinda secret still :P

(Also Dreamswap is something else entirely??? I tried to look into it but they changed it so much and made them human and i lost interest lol)

#jan mumbles #it can get confusing but swapdream uses lightning bolt daggers and his crown floats #dreamswap uses a sword and his crown is on his head still #swad is goofy and silly but dangerous and controlling #dreamswap is just Serious and has an Ink and Blue with him #also yes the monsterfucker in me too strong moment the monsters are made human my attention bolts LOL

[askthekirbysquad]

I've been working through RtDL DX's Extra Mode fairly slowly, so I'm only just getting close to finishing it up now. I got all 120 Energy Spheres earlier today, and uhhhhhhh

Fun fact: This dialogue is entirely new to DX! It's not in the original. I went back to my old file on the Wii and checked.

Haha yeah you little shit, we know you're planning to betray us soon (still love you though <3)

WHAT THE FUCK????????

EXCUSE ME????????

And then he goes on to explain a bit more, as seen above. But uhhhhhh,,, yeah!!! He's not actually Halcandran!!!! That's a new piece of Lore right there. My jaw dropped while reading it lmao

Anyway, moving on from that bombshell of a sentence, since we still aren't done with the full dialogue,

Remember that post I made a bit over a month ago talking about some of Manager Magolor's dialogue, where I was wondering if that dream of his regarding the theme park also applied to Main Mode Magolor?

I WAS FUCKING RIGHT!

Hell yeah this is such a victory for me I was so excited to read that dghsghfs

Magolor stole the Master Crown so he could make a giant theme park Confirmed and Canon and Real /hj

And then we also get a fun little reference to the Kirby Clash games!

A steal in Kirby's eyes, maybe, but that's only because he doesn't understand real-world currency.

And to close out this post, here are the last two lines of dialogue from this conversation!

Anyway. I'm losing my mind 💖

#magolor kinda reminds me of entrapta from she-ra in that first part of the conversation #just hangin' out in a dangerous land because Hell Yeah Cool Tech from ancient civilizations!!! #i adore them both <3 #magolor #not a comic or an ask #kirby's return to dream land deluxe #kirby's return to dream land #kirby series #it does kinda hurt though. like- he talks so much about being such great friends with kirby and caring about him so much #even telling him about his lifelong dreams and aspirations #only to betray kirby and try to kill him almost immediately afterward. #given that this dialogue doesn't become available until you're just about to take on landia #though it's funny because in one of the other two 120 energy sphere convos in extra mode he just straight up talks about the master crown #not by name but he does describe an artifact that would let you rule the universe that landia won't want to give up #like. damn bro you really aren't being subtle this time around huh dhsgfhsdgfhdgfs #i did also want to talk about one of the other conversations you get from 120 spheres in extra mode but i think i might do that another day #that other one is from the original rtdl anyway. unlike the dialogue in this post #also i know the post is a bit long so feel free to let me know if you'd like me to add a ''keep reading'' cut at the top! #it just messes up the positioning of the images on the pc dashboard so i deleted it. but if people want it back i can edit it back in!
