Do you ever think about the fact that Ted is hypersexual due to his childhood/teenage traumas or is that just me?
Like not only did he associate losing his first love forever with not being douchebaggy enough, but he also experienced the Lumber Axe and survived. With how quickly Peter was about to be murdered for looking at Ted’s old magazine you KNOW Ted probably had to deal with narrow escape after narrow escape himself. Ted literally suppresses the memory of the Lumber Axe entirely until bringing Peter to camp reminds him, and he doesn’t even take Peter with him as he runs away. He is FUcked up.
My guy went for the cat lady who cut off his fingers because sex is inherently dangerous to him in his mind. He goes for the worst options on purpose because sex isn’t safe unless there’s risk, and he goes for the best options just to lose them on purpose so they don't leave him first, as many times as possible until he's single and lonely at the wedding reception. He’s a sleazeball as a coping mechanism, and he keeps dying for it. One single safe relationship would decimate this dude, and it also wouldn’t fix him. Therapy would do wonders if he actually accepted how messed up he is. And tbh, if TInky wasn’t around there might’ve been a chance for him to recover.
Anyway another reason this dweeb is doomed by the narrative and fucked up beyond belief
POV: you’re the tired Pokemon partners to a trio of slightly feral rat children. (You are also feral yourself)
One part experiment, one part art style study of @critterbitter’s GORGEOUS art, and all an excuse to dabble in drawing some Pokémon (and bonus rat children because Crit I love what you’ve done with them so much it’s ENDING ME every time you post)
Done in Procreate entirely with the syrup brush to capture the feel of MS Paint because that’s the mood I was in lol, and only a single blend layer right at the end to harmonize the colors. Those shadows and highlights were picked entirely by hand and I feel stronger for it <3
I actually made 33 emotes, affectionately known as Aegirglyphics to some, for my own personal use on discord. However, I figure why not share some of them! They're free to use for discord servers/icons/pfps or whatever. However, my only request is Do NOT use them as subscriber emotes on Twitch. You can make them free follower emotes but you are not to make them locked behind a paywall.
cramming some of these prompts together to be silly <3 they spent a lot of time back then keeping some rich up-and-coming little salesman entertained, he’s one of their best customers. maybe you’ve heard of him...
Live Emotion Game Introduction 1 - Live Performances
Out first proper look at Utapri's upcoming mobile game, Live Emotion is here!
The game is now confirmed as a rhythm game, and a short preview of the beatmaps has been showcased in a brand new clip.
As described on the official twitter account:
In Live Emotion, you can play rhythm games and enjoy concerts. The idols will show off their brilliant performances in songs with live music videos, and in these music videos you will be able to change their outfits to costumes you have obtained during gameplay.
Further analysis below:
This matches up with the original preview image for Live Emotion, in which we can see the memebers of Starish realised in 3D looking out into an audience of fans and getting ready to perform. 3D dance visuals during songs has been a common element used in many rhythm games since Shining Live's release.
Dance:
In the new clip, we can see Starish wearing outfits from the promotional art for the game (likely the initial 'UR cards' or equivalent) and performing their new group song from the Live Emotion Theme Song CD, 'Kirameki Emotion.' As with other similar games, there is possibly an option with less camera movement to negate potential motion sickness from long play sessions. The models used for Starish look the same/similar to those used in the recent 3D concerts (Song Parade, All Star Stage Music Universe, etc).
Beatmap Style:
As seen in this clip, there are only 2 rhythm icons, (one on the left and one on the right) compared to Shining Live's 6. It is likely that this is an easy level of the song, and higher difficulties (hard, expert etc) will have more challenge with faster beatmaps, more touch types (swipe, tap, hold etc) and potentially more rhythm icons. The same tap noises from Shining Live are used.
User Interface:
The score gauge in the top left (including ranks C, B, A, and S), and energy meter, and pause button in the top right are similar to Shining Live's layout.
Special Time Gauge:
At the bottom of the screen is a 'Special Time Gauge' that raises with every rhythm icon hit (possible only perfects). Unknown what exactly this affects.
If you notice anything else, let me know! Otherwise it looks like we can look forward to mroe clips like this soon!
[id: several drawings of c!wilbur and c!quackity over a white background. in the top left, quackity is rearing back to punch wilbur while wilbur shouts at him. in the top right, l’manberg-era wilbur is speaking angrily to quackity, shoving a finger into his chest. in the top left, quackity is wearing a black dress with cape-like sleeves that cut off at his elbows. next to it is a drawing of wilbur and quackity hugging, will’s head resting on quackity’s. below it is a drawing of them wearing each other’s outfits; quackity looks disgruntled while wilbur is smiling. on the bottom left is a drawing of quackity sitting and wearing wilbur’s trenchcoat, clutching it to his chest. on the right side is a sketch of wilbur wearing a long blue dress with puffed sleeves, looking down at it happily. end id]
"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.."
MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.
I imagine that as marvin grows and ages and works on himself, the new glow of his happiness is visible everywhere, even on television. and when the news channel goes to schools to teach them about meteorology they love him and he’s happy to be surrounded by these kids who are excited to learn about the thing he enjoys being able to nerd out about. and it’s all very sweet and he becomes like a mini local celebrity. hey that’s marvin from channel seven! or whateva.
Oh wait this is fucked up actually. Marcy grew up around Simon while he was actually already under the effects of the crown (both physically and mentally). He was already unraveling by the time they found each other, even if he still felt like he was 'himself', so Simon as we know him, regular-ass Simon, would be in ways a kind of stranger to her. Physically, in his appearance and presence decoupled from the effects of the crown; situationally, what with them not being in a barren wasteland and whatnot; emotionally and personally, with Simon maybe doing things or showing himself to be things that Marcy didn't know to expect. And add to that how much they've both changed over the course of their lives since they separated...
While Simon managed to see her life through Ice King's eyes for a while, I like to imagine the memory is fuzzy at best and entirely unreliable at worst, so — in a way, truly, their reunion is them getting to know each other all over again, in a new dynamic, but with the base of that same old, foundational relationship; that same old, old love.
i’m still crying over ephemer that’s the thing. parted ways with all his new friends and was left behind with his longest-standing ones. then one of them turned on him and he had to kill them. he sent them through a portal just to get them away. ephemer never got to learn the truth that this was all staged he really thought his best friend’s final act was falling to darkness and nearly killing him and skuld. and he had to kill them with his own hands hhhh and we see him crying multiple times afterwards hhhhhhh
and then he gets separated from even skuld and wakes up all alone in the ruins of his home with nothing left no one who knows him and the responsibility falls to him to rebuild the world. can you just imagine him having to take a moment in that floating pod to just break down and sob quietly for a good long while. i’m gonna be sick
and like we know he goes on to live a long and prosperous life and he leaves behind a grand legacy but all the while those holes in his heart probably never heal. he’s regarded as the brilliant and strong town founder with an incredible charm to him and he’s everyone’s hero but he’s dealing with so much trauma underneath it all that he has to bury. like the records of him that survive are the ones painting him as someone so brave and talented and important but they never knew the true face behind this historical figure. his own personal life must have been pain but he had to put it aside for everyone else’s sake. missing link please come and destroy me already
