Buddy’s

Some of my favorite Buddy’s, all of which I wanna draw. 

I think it’s cool they list Edna and Buddy here, they may have meant it sarcastically but still. I didn’t consider either of those things powers, more like skills/creations but fair enough, if they say so.

Also game Buddy, partly for reference of what his lair looks like.

It’s cannon, he plays the gee tar.

#I posted these on Twitter so they get to go on tumblr too #2024 is the year I decided to stop avoiding drawing environments bc they take too long #2024 is the year I get comfortable with environments so that I can rely less on heavy references and instead #invent more easily from imagination because it feels familiar to my hands etc etc etc #also there’s a couple of short comics I have in mind where the environment is a character and that means I can’t fuck it up #by slacking off otherwise it’ll drive me bananas #sketchbook tag

Okay but TSP/Portal crossover AU is such a cool concept, how have I never thought about that before?? I'd like to request Narra and GLaD hanging out watching their respective little guys go through tests like 'can you believe them they're so dumb <3'

Day 30 - They're absolute hellions

Bonus:

Noooo, my bucket!!

#My art #Requestober #Portal #The Stanley Parable #TSP #GLaDOS #The Narrator #Stanley #Chell #They're just all so antagonist towards others lol #I think Stanley is a terrible influence paired with just about anyone but honestly I think Chell would adopt him haha #She is also a chaos gremlin and enjoys taunting and flouting the ''rules'' - deservedly lol #It's hard to imagine GLaDOS or the Narrator just accepting that they've been dropped into a crossover haha #They're both so fixated on their respective protagonist that someone else is just strange! Odd!! Unwanted!! #And at least GLaD and Chell are at the homefield advantage - the boys are in a whole new environment! #The Narrator would freak the heck out lol - but if they got past the initial without everything combusting- #Well actually I can imagine GLaDOS getting fed up with Narra hogging the PA just to say what Stanley is/should be doing lol #''He is clearly ignoring you why do you bother'' ''It's my job! My duty!'' *explosion* Pfft #I do like the idea of GLaDOS referring to other people's test subjects by other lesser names #Something along the lines of I'm the only one who gets to call mine a test subject because I'm doing Real science haha #All these dynamics! How the two protags would react to each other and their respective voices reaction to each other and each's inverse #Too many to think about right now lol gimme a sleep or two on it haha #Although Portal/TSP crossovers have been around since they both existed concurrently ♪ Still they're fun to think about! #It is fun to imagine Stanley following behind Chell through the portals until he gets distracted #It becomes a bucket quest real fast lol - They poke around Rattman's bunker and Chell gets sad and Stanley ''helps'' with a distraction #Trimming GLaDOS down and doing a halfbody for Narra and then chibis for the rest - it's all about the right math right? Right lol #Only one more! Ahh!

2007, established relationship, girl-dads!steddie and their 5yo daughter Moe, my favorite part of this by a goddamn landslide

“Papa,” Moe exclaims, running up to Steve with Ed close behind her, “I tried on one of Daddy’s rings.”

Moe holds up a closed fist with just the middle finger unfolded. One of Ed’s rings — the tarnished silver one with a faded blue pearl he always wears on his pinky — is hanging loosely from her tiny finger.

Steve looks up at his husband, eyebrows raised.

“No—” Ed chokes out a laugh and crouches down by Moe’s side, “What’d I tell you to say?”

Ed whispers something in her ear, and then Moe looks back up at Steve, a massive grin on her face as she continues to hold up her middle finger.

“This is for you, Papa.”

“Uh-huh,” Steve says, unamused.

“Daddy said it’s your favorite ring.”

“I bet he did,” he replies, trying his best to not laugh, “How ‘bout you give it back to Daddy so it doesn’t get lost — and tell him to take better care of his stuff. I know which ring is his favorite and if he keeps this up, he’ll end up losing that one too.”

Ed throws his head back and laughs.

“Oh, you’ve got jokes, Stevie, that’s very funny. But, alas, you know I don’t believe in gay divorce, so you’re gonna have to try way harder than that to get rid of me.”

“What’s gay divorce?” Moe asks, looking curiously between her dads.

“Nothin’ you need to worry your big brain about, sweet pea,” Steve tells her, brushing her bangs out of her face.

#ed is determined to create a loving and nurturing home environment for their daughters while also raising them to be complete menaces #its about the balance #for reference this is in response to steve telling moe that it's ed's turn to take her to the bathroom #moe does not know she's flipping her dad off #steddie #liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson #stranger things

“It’s the same idea as an insurance company raising your property insurance rates because you engage in risky behavior, like drunk driving. But in this case, it’s the fossil fuel sector that’s engaging in risky behavior by contributing to climate change.”

This might just be me, but has anybody noticed this almost... pejoration for words like lady? Like, in the environment I'm in, there are plenty of people who use words to politely denote annoyance, but I find it interesting that it's much more common for people to refer to a woman/somebody perceived as a woman as "lady" in a very aggravated way than it is a word like gentleman.

Again, this could just be me, but I've noticed a semantic difference in the way that people refer to others and this has been something that's bothered me since I was like... seven and I've been ruminating on it since

#feminism #what i'm not saying is that you cannot refer to a person as a lady or that it's rude... #...what i am saying is that when it comes to polite euphamisms for annoyance or animosity i've noticed people do it more towards women #i have spent so many years being annoyed at this aspect of the environment i was raised in/exposed to

ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality

moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.

we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.

Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.

Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.

And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.

With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.

#moonlight chicken #i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out #might edit some stuff later #but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life #which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations #we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him #whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference #but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly) #in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights #but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks #he got reduced to his sexuality #and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before #and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing #and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school #and our dating lives scrutinized #even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are #and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family #so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on #but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet #so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming

I opened Pinterest for the first time in months.

That made me realize a lot about how bad I was actually doing and how much of a Waffle House Index use of Pinterest is for adult me, apparently.

I hadn’t realized it had grown that foundational to me in a healthy-brain-exercise-and-hobby-joy way. Nice to know moving forward! It’s another sign I can keep track of and use to spot correlation/indicator patterns earlier my behavior.

I love this kind of thing, it makes me so excited!

#personal data hacking is my passion #someday I’ll tell a story about the most notable times I tracked things or hacked my own mental processes from childhood to now #including the fear of spiders and bed wetting and behavior changes and posture and heart rate and cursive and putting kitchen items and #trash away as soon as I’m finished using them instead of never ever or ages and ages later #I’m so proud of that #you have to give it time and still commit. chaining thoughts and routines and behaviors really works #we are not separate brains and bodies and external environments #anyway I’m gonna go haha I used up he last of my energy burst on Discord and here and I need to go rest and lie on the floor and probly doze #love you all be back soon bye mwah! #add to journal #trauma evolution #my Waffle House index #this is going to be a fun new tag I’m so going to have fun with this and I bet it’ll be a helpful example reference for other people too #more than just for future me! #so excited so proud of myself so happy so grateful for hope about me really trusting that my ability and my behavior and my performance #are able to and going to yes keep getting better #long many-milestone path-journeys of potential #like when I was a little 6-7 year old kid-team athlete looking ahead at a concept of a future with me over time getting #stronger and cleverer and faster and slicker and calmer and even happier and more and more capable and able to accomplish! #a gift. all this time I didn’t think I’d have and have been living anyway is such a gift. #knowing that I truly have future time to grow and explore and change and improve in even though I still can’t FEEL or IMAGINE that future #time yet. also a gift. #the time I will one day realize I can imagine a future and imagine myself alive? will be a gift. #breath is a gift. experiencing life is a gift. other life is a gift. rhythm is a gift. motion is a gift. awake is a gift. color is a gift. #such a great expanse. all of it new. all of it eternal. all of it me. all of it nothing I’ve ever known before. all of it all of it #all of it. gifts. #gonna go have floor time now. this would be such a nice time to re-re-regain my ability to cry! #mwah I love you future me. take care of your hand and thank u for writing all this down 💛 #hey little star whatcha gonna queue? #my poetry

The amount of meshes in this game honestly astounds me, but I'm currently perplexed by this one particular mesh that has 79 versions that are all commonly titled 'dr_mark' from 1-16 with about 4-5 versions for each. They all use the same two textures, which is 'pugalo_1_DXT1.tex' and 'Rat_DXT1.tex', but just from looking at the first texture, I had no idea what this is actually used for in-game

'pugalo' means scarecrow and I was trying to rack my brain as to where at any point I saw a scarecrow in the game, then it hit me that this is the mesh specifically for these things

I don't know about anyone else but I had never actually referred to these things by any kind of name because I see one and it just means 'this place is infected'. They aren't pleasant to look at but at no point did the name 'scarecrow' ever cross my mind, even though now that I think about it, that is exactly what they are. They're just for scaring away people instead of crows. I'm still puzzled by the naming convention of 'dr_mark' for the mesh, but I wonder if its supposed to be read as 'mark left by a doctor' instead of as a name as I had been reading it, even though from the perspective of the player, these things aren't placed they just appear, you don't 'mark' these places. Which makes me wonder whether that was going to be an idea at some point and they made the mesh name with that in mind...I guess that's another thing we just might never know

#pathologic #modding #environments #the more you know #it was literally only when i found out what 'pugalo' translated to that this made any sense #i thought it was referring to those ill npcs that walk around that you can give money to

Came to the realization that Robin is everything Grima wishes they were and I'm gonna spend an indefinite amount of time obsessing over it

#fire emblem #fire emblem awakening #fe13 #robin #grima #my rambles #i know this sounds insane but hear me out #grima has a line in their main heroes form where they ponder how their life would have been if they were human #and while its a reference to robin wishing they were fully human and able to live with the shepherds from future past 3 it still fits great #robin spends their new life in a friendly environment with people who care deeply about them and trust them with their life #while grima was viewed solely has as a threat to be destroyed or a weapon to made use of ever since they were born #robin gets to forge so many bonds with so many people while grima spent aeons trapped alone in a labyrinth after their creator #tried to kill them #and even after robin proves to be a genuine potential threat to the world the shepherds still stick by them and believe in them #while grima has always been viewed as a menace simply for existing #robin gets to be caring snarky silly and have genuine interest in things and most of all hope #while grima by the time of awakening has been so consumed by hatred and cynicism they wish everything including themselves to end #i know some of this stuff is hc but that won't stop me from obsessing over these two #should i have put this ramble on the actual post and not on tags? probably

hey y'all. I have a proposition

#so I am learning more about environments #boohoo #no BUT like. I have seen some peeps on TikTok draw Minecraft landscapes as references #and I was thinking about practicing that way but all the photos I look up are TRASH #so if there is like. a type of scene or specific photo u like from Minecraft on a server or in gen that you'd like to see painted anon me i #I think I'll do these traditionally... and if they turn out well I might just send them to the requester by mail as a little thank you lol #DEPENDING #but yeah its the Friday freedom thoughts rn driving me through this #anyways I'll scroll along now :) hope everyone is well around here
