the anon saying they wish vaschete were plushies inspired me

.

#oh no #oh #oh boy #they're adorable #I'm sorry but I'm just mentally smooshing their soft round little heads together #their expressions! #the teensy paws #really feeling that cute aggresion #you made their faces translate into simplified plush form so well #I'd be lying if I said it never crossed my mind how neat it would be to have plushies of them #not as merch but like to keep as mascots and have them sit contently next to each other in some nook of my home #I'm not completely hopeless at sewing but I've never designed patterns quite as complex as this #and I think commissioning a professional for a set is likely beyond my budget so eh one can dream #gift art #makedamnsvre #own characters #Machete #Vasco #from a technical point of view #I feel like I'd be adamant about keeping Vasco's ombre ears and muzzle but they could be potentially difficult to execute #unless you airbrushed them by hand or something I don't know how this works #and I'd probably be really picky about the texture of Machete's fluff as well #finding a faux fur with the right length curl and springiness might be hard #honestly I think I might have easier time if I tried art doll/ooak route because that permits more painting and sculpting than pure sewing #but then the squish factor would suffer

I love that part whenever I am reaching a point of inner life that was inspired by a piece of media where I no longer feel the need to talk about it in conventional forms, which never really happens for me anyway since I seem to be one of the few that is naturally nuanced, and instead begin to go inside of an incredibly deeply spiritual maladaptive inner life, which can expand for years if not the rest of my life like a personal fantasy that only I can see that is probably more human than 90% of people's experiences.

#bojack has carried me More than any fictional character ever has in my life #we've been together for around I think almost 4 years straight now #I'm pretty sure it was in 2021 when I had my episodes when I consumed it for the first time and felt that certain kind of surreal multivers #feeling #so yes 4 years now #my real life has been absolutely terrible in ways that are meant comprehension but meeting bojack was the one thing that is truly magic and #beyond this world #it might sound pathetic and strange to other people for a cartoon character to feel like a profound gift from God #but we all think differently #the sweep of love that I just felt even just a couple of hours ago and then composed an incredible song within an hour #Love is all that you need

After today’s entry, I am once again baffled by any adaptation that makes Renfield out to be some direct and obedient minion to Dracula’s whims. This guy literally breaks out the second he thinks his Lord and Master (read: Idealized Supernatural Benefactor He’s Decided Will Give Him Grisly Boons and Superpowers) is being ‘stolen’ from him and begins wailing on those he deems responsible...

...except those same guys are the ones hired specifically to carry out Dracula’s instructions of Transylvanian dirt box removal/delivery. The actual, if unwitting, minions getting paid to do his mysterious bidding. Considering Renfield’s mindset, it reads a lot less like ~protecting his Master~ and a lot more like--

Dracula, having a grand time: Well, that’s Miss Westenra taken care of, obstinate guardians notwithstanding. Oh, and here come my laborers for the earth moving! Lovely. What a productive few days this has been--

Renfield, Victorian era “Girlfriend” by Lady Avril Lavigne blasting in his head, attempting to murder the Count’s secondhand employees out of doing their job: DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH MY MAN OR HIS DIRT

Dracula, now t h i s close to having people turn up to snoop around Carfax to figure out what this guy’s problem is with the place/apologize to the homeowner and revealing his whole deal: 8)

All of which lends more weight to Renfield being less an outright Igor caricature being unduly influenced by the Count, and more like Dracula getting a taste of, How About That, Not So Fun Having a Fixated Aggro Stalker, Is It? medicine himself.

#to be clear this isn't meant as an insult to Renfield himself #he's obviously suffering his own issues with mental illness and little to nothing's being done about addressing it #beyond letting him eat bugs and birds and stuffing him in a straitjacket as a last resort #and just generally having him live out his life as-is under a magnifying glass #but at the same time we need to go back to Seward's admittedly theatrical read of Renfield's motives regarding the new Lord and Master bit #i.e.: He isn't after a savior as much as someone/something that will shower him with inhuman gifts and benefits #a feat he was already chasing with the mini turducken attempts and (after picking up some unknown hint from Dracula) human blood #he's not chasing salvation #he wants to be more/better than human and is experimenting with ways he thinks he can get there #and somehow he's mentally sensitive enough to pick up on Dracula's presence and potential #and is now literally throwing himself at the bastard trying to volunteer himself as a minion/acolyte/blood sugar baby #all while Dracula is likely weighing the options of letting him live in case of future usefulness #or just getting around to murdering him for making too much noise #and drawing the wrong kind of attention #r.m. renfield #dracula #dracula daily

ALSO IVE BEEN MEANING TO ASK THIS!! BUT!!

I’ve noticed Twig’s tail flame changes color- Is it emotion based? Or purely for aesthetic reasons? Either way, it’s a fun detail and I love her design as a whole.,,,,

Short answer: Yes! It is emotion based, and thanks so much for liking my little litzard’s design!

Long answer: Oh man do I ever have a tangent to go off on.

Originally, I couldn’t decide what color I wanted Twig’s tail flame to be. The Pokédex states that charmeleons will spew blue-white fire when excitedly going after opponents, which I thought about making her tail flame, but I just couldn’t commit to one color. It was a struggle and I was starting to decide to just give up and give her a standard yellow-ish orange flame… but then I remembered @modmad, the creator of a webcomic that has greatly influenced my creativity throughout the years, and a major character in said webcomic, RGB.

RGB is a man with a television set for a head and a color bar for a mouth, and the colors are constantly bleeding off of his screen. Already a neat design, but here’s the kicker: all those colors mean something. Yellow is fear, cyan is sadness, green is happiness, magenta is curiosity, and red is anger.

This character can only emote so much using his “face”, but Modmad hacked the system and basically made an emotion percentage bar which people can use to judge what exactly RGB is feeling at any given time. It’s pretty simple to grasp what his main emotion is based on which color is bleeding the most, but it gets super fun to dig into the implications of any other colors that are bleeding as well.

It’s similar for Twig, though I’ve only recently outlined the complete meanings of her tail flames and haven’t drawn them in action very much! You may have noticed that her tail flame’s color tend to lean towards a magenta / fuchsia when she’s having unpleasant flashbacks. That’s because that shade of fire indicates fear!

I really didn’t have too much of a personal guide to the flame colors before now— my guiding principles were “fuchsia = scared beyond all belief, neon colors = stressed / excited, softer colors = chill / tired”, but with this handy dandy lil chart I recently made, I’ll be able to be a lot more consistent going forward :>

Thanks for being interested in this little detail! I didn’t think anyone would notice, so it’s super fun to get to talk about it in-depth! Enjoy a happy lil etymology geek Twig admiring a dictionary Celebi gifted her as my thanks :>

#the colors ultimately aren’t set in stone— they have some variation #like going from lavender to violet to periwinkle for when she’s angry #and the vibe / appearance of a scene is an important factor in determining tail flame colors #but this is the concept in a nutshell! #Twig typically has some fuchsia in her flame because the gal’s got anxiety #and her tail is usually between neutral/fondness because she’s got no thoughts beyond ‘I love my friends’ #Thought y’all’d enjoy that :> #sofie answers asks #stuff by sofie #the present is a gift au #pmd2 #pmd eos #pmd explorers #pmd sky #pmd #pokémon mystery dungeon #pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd au

Frieren is so funny because every single flashback has this guy simping pining over her and saying profound things about life and love and making sweet declarations and meanwhile she is there in the future 80(?)+ years and counting missing her friends and still showing no signs of realizing/caring ?????

#iconic #Frieren is so chill by the time she learns a soul speak spell it's going to be 200 years after his death and she'll be like 'weait a sec... #love that for her #Himmel so tragic but i keep laughing at him like boi he KNEW Frieren was going to miss her friends but it'd be way too late to do anything #she is L ratio-ing the poor babygirl from beyond the grave #bro was on his knees and she's remembering fondly like 'i remember when he gifted me that ring :)' #good for her #but it's sooooo funny #love that #bro was doomed from the start #what a way to go #Frieren the slayer indeed

a sneak peek for an upcoming (timeline tbd) update 😊

#holocene.txt #hlcn: story extras #consider this a thanks for the kind words on gratitude day :) #i wanna respond to everyone individually when i have time and also wax poetic about how much every comment means to me #it really does mean a lot #it's been a rough year and a very lonely year like i'm genuinely just so :/ #i lost both of my grandmothers this year very suddenly and the holidays feel empty now and i'm dealing with scary health issues #i finally had a brain mri after waiting for it to get scheduled since JUNE and now i have to wait on results and undergo some other testing #and i'm losing my mind a little because i planned a nice christmas gift for my mom and it feels ruined because the post office lost it #and my dad ruined the whole surprise of it by calling customer support on speaker phone with her in the room...and she ofc heard everything #i just wanted something nice for my mom :( she deserves it and although i have other gifts for her still it's not all what i planned #i don't mean to rant but i just wanted to add context when i say it means a lot that anyone even remotely likes my pixels #i may not know most of you very well *yet* (trying to fix that!!) but it's nice to feel a little support from somewhere :) beyond nice #and sorry for being absent a lot this year but i swear i have so much appreciation for y'all and i love you and your pixels dearly #i always feel bad like maybe it doesn't seem like i care in return bc i'm offline a lot now but i really do!! i care a lot!! love y'all xox

🌹 <- rose!

Thank you, thank you, thank you friend!

Here is a bit from a gift fic I’m working on apologies from my tongue, and never yours:

“You didn’t talk about your Dad with Doctor Sharon?” Jamie asks.

“No. Guess we had more complex issues to work through.”

“Worse than this?” Jamie says, motioning towards Colin’s phone. “Like what?”

“The whole closeted footballer thing,” Colin deadpans.

“Oh. Right.”

Miguel &/ Reader, re: Coffee, Black For a brief time he got swapped place with Original peter into modern year (1992 comic), Miguel get to drink coffee and he was impressed that it was made from real coffee beans

which means... Miguel's 2099 dystopia futuristic world doesn't have coffee beans anymore, he just drinks whatever the coffee flavored chemical juice his world can mixed up. Even processed coffee and instant coffee requires actual coffee beans in it (but very low quality beans)

now imagine if u bring your $5 local cafe take-out coffee anywhere near him :))) just watch him squirming, seething with jealous, his enhanced senses of smell greedily taking in that cheap coffee from across the room. No among of wealth or resources within his controls can afford him the real thing. He doesn't know u wont mind bringing some for him or even get him instant coffee to brew at his own leisure, how is he even going to ask you for such a menial favor? He doesn't want to ask anyone to do anything unless it directly related to the job/ missions

imaging him gritting his teeth, swallow his ego, muster up the courage to ask u for some coffee and u tell him no❤ to his face? what is he going to do? kick u out of the spidey society? chase u around for your size small $5 coffee? look him dead in the eyes as you drink your coffee in one gulp and ask him what coffee

#bullying ur boss on paid hours step 1 #left ur coffee out cold for hours just to see him eyeing longing it across the room #tormenting him for weeks #gift him that fancy instant coffee on christmas and see how cute he mask his delight #i legit dont recall he ate anything except the brief time when he tried some donut and cheap coffee from lower new york in 1992 #and he said it was so gross lmao #the empanadas and miggy burger is cute but u guys gotta let him eat literally anything else lmaoooooo #this isnt just about coffee btw just think #what if theres no fresh veggies or real meats? everything just Beyond burger tm #miguel o'hara #spiderman 2099 #atsv miguel #miguel x reader #sort of

i do think its kinda funny when i see someone in the year of our lord 2024 talk about vocal synth music like its all gone downhill since like 2010 because like dont get me wrong i love a good niconicodouga-ass 2008 ass vocaloid joint BUT also like. the past couple years have had the most fascinatingly creative and expressive uses of vocal synthesizers ive ever heard in my life DJFSKHJDFS dont write it all off just yet!!

#usually i only see that from people who havent actually listened to any vsynth music from the past 15 years so i understand why they got to #that conclusion. and also usually theyre people who didnt listen to much vsynth music in the first place LOL they just dont know #but it is still a little funny. brother there are things beyond your wildest dreams if u just look #like some personal highlights: the stuff by rinri - particularly their use of the meika girlies #dont carry our memories away is LIFECHANGING the whispers. the spoken parts. the BELTS #plus the haunting and unrelenting instrumentation. fantastic song #and naisho no pierced's propose + birthday + gift sort of trilogy of songs. gift especially has been unreal #again the dynamics of soft intimate whispers to belts but also those fuller high notes with edges of growlyness. #plus the songs just generally rock. and those LYRICS. absolutely intense like physically painful and frightening like #yearning and codependency and possession. and the tuning and production just amps it up more #OH and slave.v.v.r has been doing crazy things for even longer but i only started getting into his stuff recently and holy shit #love eater is like. the scariest vocaloid song ive ever heard not because of the lyrics. but because of the tuning #im like. scared. i cant stop listening to it. the heavy synthesized breathy main vocals and whispered harmonies plus the VOCAL FRY #i didnt realized vocaloid5? i think? has a vocal fry option built in i heard? thats crazy #but specifically in love eater the fry and growl is amped up so deep and loud and clear compared to everything else it like #emphasizes the artificiality of the voice while also amping up the expressiveness #its awesome. and on the older slave.v.v.r songs i heard i will hit you 8759632145 times with this piano. also so fucking cool #addicted to that song. 1) its a great jazzy rocky piano tune with this piano flourish at the end of each phrase that sounds fantastic #but also 2) the lyrics are insane. using kanji to write english?????? #people are doing wild ass things with vocal synths rn you guys #this isnt even getting into some of the really unique synths themselves too. adachi rei is awesome i love that shes just like #the perfect inbetween of sample based and reconstruction based vocals. shes a sample based synth #but her samples were drawn by hand LOL shes like dectalks granddaughter to me..... #a really good use of adachi rei is iyowa's heat abnormal/heat anomaly/whatever its called ITS AWESOME thats what it is hjrkfdgfd #i think the fact that vocal synths can be so realistic and clean and noiseless out the gate now has made people really stop worrying #about like. realism all together and looking more into expressiveness. omg vocal synth modernist movement

pyrr pyrriax is significantly less productive when it spends several hours just bouncing between vcs in pursuit of human interaction

#haunted ecosystem #i spent the last several hours just chilling muted in a vc with a few people i dont really Know but we're friendly so it works #bonus was playing on an mc server at the same time and immediately making it my goal to harass jack #i got caught in a self-instated death loop trying to get him to free my corpse from his claim PDVNDJK #however: i now have an area where i get to set up a farm and become a beast (spend several hours lost in farmer's delight) #its okay its better than the average of like 11 hour calls #i write significantly less when i'm being social and not just in my little hole in the wall scribbling random concepts #also i need to read more fic to get my brain going again since currently i am lacking in things kicking around in my skull #aside from a concerning amount of oc stuff that will likely never see the light of day beyond ocassional snippet posts #im planning to work on a few projects i just also need to. not have things i need to work on #im working on a gift fic thats a little late but i just need to Come Up With Something
