#items for scale

[mishapen-dear]

tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.

but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.

#qsmp neg #qsmp crit #discourse #<- for blacklists #im not grumping or anything im just musing on like. the mechanics of why everyone is so upset about the latest fight #and how it can be avoided while still keeping these fights genuinely difficult and intense #its hard because there's so many players and they all have wildly different strengths and weaknesses #so someone who could take on the code easy needs that enemy scaled differently than someone who isn't a big fighter #but it's hard to do that in a world where they interact w the same enemy #and you only have so much man-power to cater to a big server like this one #and then you bring in the big powerful items that the players can and can't access but which the admins have ultimate power over #and the fact that some of the admins themselves have lag issues or aren't super great at pvp so they accommodate that with better gear #and it starts getting messy #but for the fights themselves yeah regardless of what armour or gear or killing-methods they use there should Always be a win condition #and idk maybe there was one and we just didn't get to see it #but if that win condition is 'parents sit in the safe room with their babies while the others are overrun' #then i think there are ways to build better win conditions #anyway i love game design and player/dm interactions qsmp hire me now i want to know your behind the scenes #jk im too busy to apply #but man. i wanna nerd out so bad that sometimes i think about it

is it too much of a reach to say that zelda being reduced to basically an object to farm items from in totk just kinda adds more salt to the wound of how badly shes treated?

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #i know im nitpicking #but i have talked about the big problems alot already #and now i start to see the smaller thingy that dont feel good #i guess you could see it as well if she wasnt farmable for items it would be weird compared to the other dragons #or that you are supposed to realize that you have been farming items from your best friend the whole time is to mean something #or maybe its just a game mechanic #i knew super early that the dragon was zelda #and when i saw i need items from her to upgrade my armor i was like .... im not gonna shoot out heR TEETH WTF #good thing she remembers nothing i guess #so she doesnt have to cope with the fact that link kept shooting off her scales - claws - teeth and horns #god i just want to see her have agency for once #and no i dont count begging unnamed faceless champion mcguffin guys to do a swear or dragonfying herself when she had no other option #thats not a character moving the plot but the plot shoving around a character imo #i want to see her go around HER hyrule and talk to people- solve mysteries- get more competent at defending herself- actively doing anythin #gnawing on wood as we speak

#Doodles #UT #Papyrus #Sans #Cutest little lads #I had a good handful of stick figures of them from my 2015/2016 notebook and it really is a cute style #Y'know funny enough now that I think of it lol - Those doodles were also in December! #(I'm tagging these in December still lol hi from the past) #It's that Undertale time of year <3 Apparently I first found it Dec. 17th 2015 hehe #A little late to the party! But not terribly so ♪ And I had managed to avoid spoilers up to that point lol #I do still have some vague memories of watching it for the first time #I watched a Pacifist run first and cried - of course #And then watched a Genocide run soon after and cried even more #I remember being very confused as to what the Fight timing option even was the first time I saw it lol #Since in Pacifist you can go the entire time without even accidentally using it! You can ACT or ITEM instead #It's interesting to think back on such a huge shift in culture on the broadscale #And also a personal milestone :) Something that tipped the scales! #Something that even now I'm grateful for and think of fondly ♥ #And it's all still fun to draw! What more could I ask for haha #I think with this super-simple style in particular I like making their designs complement each other #So Papyrus is all stick lines and Sans has thicker bones #Papyrus' eyes are upright and Sans' are laid flat haha #They both have circle heads to start tho! Papyrus just gets a rectangle grafted on for his jaw lol #They're easy to pose together like this too! #It's fun and silly ♪ Just how I like :D

i was having some wordgirl reboot thoughts and then embarked on a 9+ hour straight journey i can never take back (my hands and back hurt so much) (i have never drawn so much in such a short period of time) 

also im sorry the quality is so bad; i just hope theyre clear enough to see!

#turtlearts #wordgirl #wg #character design #character lineup #im not tagging all of them im sorry #it was so fuckin hard drawing them all and making sure they look to scale...... even now they look a little off #i want to color these but im not sure how long it will take because holy shit thats a lot!!! #chucks design is my favorite. hes supposed to have a picnic blanket patterned handkerchief thingy bc sandwich ahha #lady redundie is super techno now becuase i wanted her to look more like a copy machine. not sure if that came across right bc she just - #looks like a mettaton clone ToT sorry #also im so sorry but i gave everybody pockets because my kids... need snakcs. what if they want. to hold hting. item #also the tallest is miss power full stop. i wanted her to be the most physically intimidating #also damn shes hot. sorry #anyways if u read the tags this far feel free to suggest ur favorite wordgirl guy and i might add to this! its very fun #also im not sure if i did a good job but the kids are like. 14-15 here bc if wordgirl ever got rebooted itd be targeted for a somewhat- #older audience. bc all the wordgirl enjoyers are all in their teens and early 20s now LMAO #they look so baby here tho so im not sure i did a good job at that T_T #also i love rhyme and reason so much. #let me know what u think i care so much O_O #blease #now if youll excuse me im gonna go and explosion gif and fart with reverb sfx

The height chart gets even funnier when you consider that Rick gives Kirby piggyback rides. Kirby, that hamster is only up to your feet.

i think that for reasons to do with this the earth accurate sizes doesn't actually work very well when you try to extrapolate it out, and i did intend it as a joke!! it's funny and i enjoy it, but it falls apart the second you try to consider them functioning with others 😂

like... is kirby small enough to be comfortably piggybacked by hamster sized rick? then he's too small to be held in coo's claws, let alone to fit in kine's mouth! this would likely be the case even if we just took kirby's "canon" size of 8-9 inches but plonked him in an earth accurate sizing for everything else

then, is king dedede a penguin accurate size (king penguin size: 85–95cm) or is he comparative to a human adult? either way, he'd be smaller than kine, as mola mola average 250cm tall (at least according to wikipedia. other sources say 300cm longs and up to 450cm tall) and easily dwarf humans here on earth.

or does dedede have to be comparative to kirby, who is comparative to rick, who is an 18cm tall hamster, making kirby probably 10cm at best, making dedede probably half the size of a king penguin though maybe closer to a blue penguin (45cm), meaning that kine could easily be up to ten times his height--

in general i kind of just prefer to size them comparatively, starting from kirby, and considering individual characters Bigger or Smaller. as much as i'd love to see an enormous semi-realistic sunfish kine basking happily in the ocean surrounded by tiny friends, i think that it's easier for me to work on a "kirby" size scale and consider them all aliens, at the end of the day 😂

this seems likely, given that female mola mola are apparently bigger than the boys! they can also supposedly spawn an absolutely mindboggling three hundred million (sorry. hang on. three HUNDRED million!?!?!?!?!) eggs at a time, so i hope you're all really really looking forward to seeing a Lot lot more of Kine around.

#you could work in a sort of 'kirby auto scales to his animal friends' mechanic i suppose. he's certainly been tinier before! #that could be enjoyable in a world building sense! you'd see many small items look BIG when you were with rick and vice versa with kine! #but i'd feel bad assigning enormousness to kine! he'd be quite difficult to get into just about any location and he's already a bit of a #dare i say #fish out of water #definitely fun to play around with in individual circumstances but hard to work into a broader world-scape. not impossible though! #asks

Created this as a blessing I was going to give to my players if they stumbled across a dying gold Ancient Dragon. But...they never did. This is your reminder DM to just give your players cool shit in DnD. Just get REALLY weird with it.

Hunger of the Gold Scale

Blessing, permanent boon, very rare

“Ancient Gold Dragons are known for their impressive hordes, but gold and gems offer another benefit for them. Sustenance. Consuming gold shores up your defenses and sometimes gives your skin a temporary golden hue, or creates patches of gold.”

You can use an action to consume 100 gold coins and gain a +1 bonus to your AC and saving throws that lasts until the end of your next long rest. This bonus can stack up to 5 times, but every 100 gold coins consumed after the first before finishing your next long rest, has a cumulative 25 percent chance of you receiving a level of exhaustion instead of the bonus.

vere says ais is big everywhere but he's lying about the only place that matters to me personally (his horns)

#gumi talks #his little hornlets #his baby horns #there's not enough surface to GRIP #nor can they be used to hold grocery bags #or other household items #gumi #you say #why does this matter to you #listen i like horns that are big enough to make it a mild to extreme sleeping obstruction #ais' horns would not obstruct him from sleeping unless his pillow was up against a wooden headboard or something #and that's a 0/10 on gumi's arbitrary horn scale

I have, unbeknownst to everyone (including myself), apparently been charging my pattern writing energies for... ten years? Possibly more.

But it really looks like I just might finally nail the Ultimate Pattern For Scale Mail Gloves Of Any Size And Length...... through the power of spreadsheets

#the photo are full arm length gloves for a 9 inch hand and 13 inch arm and tomorrow I find out if I need to recalibrate my calculations #I believe this is by far the largest scale item I knit so far #it looked promising at the halfway point but upper arm fit is all new work #craftness

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

the fact that miquella is said to have "divested himself of all things golden" similarly to ranni might imply that we won't be seeing his actual great rune in the dlc. however i still want to know

#elden ring #the nemesis speaks #my reasoning for most of these is that he allegedly holds the ''rune of abundance'' #which seems fitting for hp regen/item boosts #and then there's obviously the whole thing with him compelling/controlling people. hence the pacification/summoning #i personally thing something in line with the hp regen/damage down is the most likely #i feel like none of the dlc runes will be as simple and straightforward as like. radahn's #but i also think that like. picking up his discarded rune and it facilitates the new attack scaling system. would be fun

What the ever loving hamsters is this?! Done with a bag room early? The audacity! Second bag-room of the year. It’s not as tall as the first, still 1:6th scale though, with plenty of headroom for photography. A simple stone finish for a secondary backdrop. Add photos, posters, whatever you like, and make each side a whole new thing! You have da powah!

Look! Still liftable! Super light. Kid can carry it themselves, if you let them. See that floor clearance? That’s on one finger, and I’m da weak.

When the ties are open, you can use them as soft touches at the edge of the photo, like a curtain, you can tuck them back, you can... options!

And when it’s opened? Look! An alcove! ‘Stained-glass’! Gold accented paper! ‘Hard wood’ floor! You can do a lot with a room like this.

Here’s an included option. The picture frames have glass, interchangeable picture and ‘doctorates’. Silent butler (coat rack), side table (drawer opens), planter, table, chair, and more!

Better look at the ‘diploma’ and the picture. Plant on the table, magazines to read, and a faux leather chair to read in.

This is the included doll. Custom face up, custom outfit, shoes she can stand in *without* a doll stand... I am so happy with this.

The doll is on a ‘ballet Barbie’ body. Not as much articulation as a Made to Move, but you work with what you got. Made a cell phone for the doll as well.

The hands are really good at holding things. I also love that ‘country’ hair.

Okay, look, I get a lot of junk mail. When I can use a part of it for dolls, I will. So this doll comes with a ‘credit card’. Because, she’s got that clout.

So much clout, she’s gonna head out into the world for a little shopping and some brunch.

Here are some detail shots of what comes with this bag-room. Things in the bag: make up, pencil, notebook, cell phone, wallet, credit card, sunglasses, and two earring backs. Magazines? Eight of them. You can see that each one opens, having old style adds inside, so that they give ‘reading’ vibes as your doll looks through them. The shoes. Accented in gold stars and rose details. They are made to allow the doll to stand on her own two feet. Just a little finagling to balance the doll and wham-o! No stand needed. The necklace closes in the back with a simple hook mechanism. I think it’s lovely. Those earrings? That’s why the backs are in the bag. You can wear them. This doll wears human earrings, so they are sharable.

Window time! Stained-glass effect! First insert. Sun rise! Second: Evening. Third: Dawn. The winter scene is a permeant background. Really shows off the glass lines.

A better look at the custom face up. I’m not the best with hair, but I still think it’s not that bad, you know?

Everything that comes with this set.

And yes, as always, it can fit into the closed bag, with room to spare.

February is the next bag-room. I wonder what I’ll make. If you want this one, let me know.

i know i've seen a post about it before and i think i've talked about it here already as well but man i love the differences between how a wizard tav and gale approach the magic mirror in ilyn toth's cellar... wizard tav is all eager to see it, they've read about magic mirrors before but never seen one in real life! this is so exciting!

and gale's initial reaction is... Unimpressed

and then where tav has the option to simply examine the mirror, gale SNIFFS the thing. i love it. i love it so much i need to know more about magic and the physical senses... what does it smell like gale. tell us please

also more of gale (and a bit of wizard tav) being Like That with the mirror:

#i've thought so so much about how he and curio both experience the weave #esp with curios ''sorcerer trained as a wizard and reluctant to reveal they're a sorcerer for fear of it undermining their hard work'' deal #(<- also part of the reason i don't like sorc g*le hcs. i think it really does cheapen his whole deal but also that's my boy's problem LMAO #i imagine curio would be closer to the 'sniffing magical items' end of this scale #esp when they see g*le doing it. like oh thank fuck ok i can get away with being a bit weirder the archmage is doing it too GSLKDJFG #please let the censoring work. i don't want my posts breaching containment even though i don't intentionally tag them #(<- guy who got one or two annoying replies one time)
