do you ever stop to think how amazing the multimedia aspect of alan wake is, like do you ever just stare into the void and take a moment to appreciate how they actually filmed so many live action scenes that work perfectly with the whole narrative and how the game has so many songs specifically made for it, singing about the events in the game, and don't even get me started on gods of asgard and the live performance of herald of darkness at the game awards that was identical to that musical part of the game LIKE HELLO??? a literal masterpiece

#i'm having a moment #listening through thr soundtrack #again #and likr idk i can't even put into words how i feel about the scratch ending #it makes everything even more cool and meta ans i usually don't even like meta like thst but it's just SO WELL DONE #maybe i like meta after all i just don't like wjen it's bad #alan wake #alan wake 2 #yeah i'm. going insane #neo.txt

Finished TGAAC around 2 1/2 weeks ago but only finished the doodles today. but still, here ya go!

#caluuart #art #dgs spoilers #dgs2 spoilers #tgaa spoilers #tgaa2 spoilers #ace attorney #the great ace attorney #tgaa #dgs2 #not tagging characters bc it's a lot #RAMBLE TIME. so ever since I finished dgs2 I have been listening to the soundtracks and MAN these bang so much #esp as a person who plays the piano and likes music. it's just. good. yeah. some of these do give me psychological dmg tho lmaoo #like kazuma's nocturne theme or his prosecutor theme. or the secret trial theme.... the partners - the game is afoot! theme.... I am normal #WHICH SPEAKING OF! man I love the sholmes + mikotoba partner twist so much even if i got a bit spoiled about it. i just think they're neat. #The partners of all time I think. #Also also the found family!?!?!? I am A SUCKER for found family. they fed me so well. #funny thing was the barok character development surprised me despite the fact that I also expected it since the first game lolol. #I do think he's an interesting character and probably one of the best character development in the game. And that I find his design cool. #oh yeah I didn't draw it but when I saw that albert mentioned that barok is “the darling of the van zieks family” I was genuinely like. #huh? wdym. like man at the time “van zieks” and “little darling” feels wrong in the same sentence. that was until I saw his pre- #-trauma pictures n well. albert isn't wrong. which was a slight surprise to me. #In conclusion: I liked it a lot. and now occupies parts of my brain along with my other brainrots. #They fight for priority in my brain whenever I try to sleep or disassociate lol. Well at least there's more material to think about. #off topic time: arlecchino animation. for the sake of the tag's length I'll just say a few things: #I am very very interested in her story and oh my god father. #My brain has stopped braining now; good night my fellows

destiny intersects with the ruined reactor...

little details!

#here i go establishing new questionable habits... #'oh yeah lemme just uhhh create an entire soundtrack to accompany my art! lmao no biggie' #but DUDE masashi hamauzu is a legend and his music sounds SO good in the ffvii soundfont ok #it's irresistable. i don't have a say in the matter. my brain says 'ok music time' and i am at its mercy like cloud giving in to jenova. #ALSO i learned so much about the soundfont while recreating the reactor section!! #you know that subtle triplet beat 'train chugging' sorta sound in the mako reactor theme? #it's actually acoustic bass plucks getting cut off SUPER short in rapid succession! #the same track uses a very deep pitched reverse cymbal sample as a spooky atmospheric 'breathing' noise. #idk man i just admire how creative og ffvii is in general with its limited tools. #ok the nerd urge has passed i'm good now #just kidding. gongaga has me in a chokehold. i'm obsessed with this place. do not talk to me about it because i will not shut up. #ffvii #ff7 #ffvii rebirth #cloud strife #my art <3 #my music <3

okay I'ma be so for real with yall. after the bullshit incident with Nancy, Steve is two things: determined to be a better boyfriend, and absolutely desperate for words of affirmation. when you fall right into Stevie's big buff arms and muscular hairy chest he's already whipped. Steve loves you. like a lot. like when Steve is up late at night thinking about you (which is often) he sometimes gets freaked out by how much he loves you. Steve loves you more than he's ever loved anyone and once that hits him like a truck, he won't be able to put off saying it for long. he was planning on just telling you, just laying his cards on the table without expecting anything back, but you did before he could. you were snuggled up together about to fall alseep when you press a kiss to his nose and murmur quietly in your adorable little voice that gives him butterflies whenever he hears it, "I love you Stevie..." as you cuddle into his chest. he startles and wakes up at your words.

"Wait- like, seriously?" His voice is all gravely from being tired and up so late, and you look up at him with your big sparkly eyes.

"yeah..." you say, starting to get worried. he can tell by the look on your face, you think you said something wrong. you think he doesn't love you to.

"I love you too," he says with no hesitation. "love you so much..." he mutters against your lips as he kisses you and kisses you. you say it a lot after that, and every time you instigate, every time you tell him you love him, tell him what a good boyfriend he is, how well he treats you and how great he is, his stomach flips and he's thrown for a loop every time. you are his first reciprocated I love you, and that means so much more to him than anything ever could. three little words and he's wrapped so tight around your finger. he's head over heels for you, and every time you tell him you love him, he gets a little crazier for you.

#drabbles #steve harrington x reader #steve harrington #steve harrington drabbles #stranger things #stranger things x reader #stranger things drabbles #tell me that you love me from the victorious soundtrack starts playing #steve is a good boyfriend #he just needs some words of affirmation yk #that really is the trick tbh #GOD hes so boyfriend #so man #so bitable #saw a drabble where you wanna bite his tummy #and yeah #yeah thats how im feeling tonight

i drew my babygirl Jon Arbuckle :)

his ass!!! it haunts me!!!! i tried to draw him taller but he just kinda ended up looking really stocky and i don't know how that happened,,, man's like 6 foot canonically. i think i was too focused on his ass and making his legs look cute lol

speaking of ass, i don't know why Jim Davis decided to give Jon such a dumptruck but i'm so glad he did. ever since the very beginning of Garfield in the 'Jon' strip, he's had a fat ass and i absolutely love that. it's just a cemented part of his character now and always has been XD

i drew 1978-1980 Garf from memory!! one of my absolute favourite things about classic Garfield is just how arch-shaped he is. he's just a fat little cat guy and i love him :) i always make sure i draw the arch shape when i draw Garfield sitting cause that's one of my favourite parts about drawing him

also here is Gnorm :) for those unaware, back in the very early 1970s, before Garfield was created in any form, Jim Davis made a little comic strip about bugs called 'Gnorm Gnat'. it was mainly about the little bug dudes getting into silly relatable little antics with snappy punchlines. it's got a few characters like Gnorm, a fruit fly named Freddy, a slug named Cecil, a smart worm called Dr. Rosenwurm and Drac Webb to name a few. for something so early, it actually has quite a few familiar aspects of what would later become Garfield. the same writing style, a similar art style to early Garfield/Jon, occasional references to Peanuts (a comic Davis grew up with), the German doctor character who later appeared in the 'Jon' strip, heck there's even a goofy bug named Lyman! additionally, the name "John Arbuckle" shows up in a strip where Dr. Rosenwurm reads a piece of poetry written by him (which was recycled into an actual early Garfield strip where Jon Arbuckle reads the same poem). in fact, it's so mildly familiar that the entirety of the September 9th, 1978 Garfield strip was recycled twice, first in Jon and then in Garfield!

unfortunately, Gnorm Gnat only ended up getting published in the local newspaper, Pendleton Times, following several rejections from various syndicates for the fact that bugs just aren't as relatable or funny to a lot of people as Jim Davis thought they were. of course, i think Gnorm Gnat is something very special to the history of Garfield and i quite like it for its significance. i think it's a cute little bug comic and i hope it gets rebooted someday :)

#jon arbuckle #garfield #gnorm gnat #jim davis #currently listening to the 'Arbuckle' soundtrack that Patricia Taxxon created :D #it's really good!!!! #i love her music it's so cool!! #y'know after learning to draw the guy i've become quite fond of gnorm #i already liked him before because he's interesting to garf history but like. #i think i'm slowly becoming an unironic gnorm gnat fan #if gnorm gnat has 5 million fans i'm one of them #if gnorm gnat has one fan that's me #if gnorm gnat has no fans i've been crushed by a giant shoe #oh yeah one of my favourite things about gnorm gnat is the urban legend that the comic ended with him getting crushed by a shoe #it didn't actually end that way (it actually ended with him thanking pendleton) but it's funny to think about #i think i actually have a sort of mandela effect memory related to that legend actually #like i felt like i had actually seen it online before but it was actually just a garfield comic i was misremembering where he squishes a bu #what's really funny about that legend though is that it has a tiny bit of truth to it. there is a gnorm gnat strip where a bug gets- #-squished by a shoe but it isn't gnorm #it was a random bug who's supposed to be one of those guys with signs who go and say ''the end is afoot!'' #and then he ends up getting squashed by a shoe #to which cecil slug says ''now that's what i call irony'' #so yeah someone does get squished but it wasn't the last strip and gnorm is fine #jim davis himself actually appears in a few strips represented simply as an omnipresent giant pencil which is really funny #i could ramble endlessly about this comic but i think i'm starting to run out of tags #there should be a gnorm gnat fandom i think

normalize making fanfic soundtracks!!! not like a "oh this is a writing inspo playlist" no bestie. what would your story sound like if it was a movie? what songs do you feel connect to the scenes you're writing and convey said emotion? put that in a playlist. make a soundtrack for your fanfic. it is SO much fun to do if youve never done it before. its like a mood board but for the scenes? im not too sure how to directly explain it, but its just the energy that helps feel the scenes. you dont even need to share it with the readers if you dont feel like you want to either. like i have this whole list of hardcore metal songs for blood magic because it helps me feel the energy. like the raw unadulterated power. unrelated but mainly bc stephen king writes to some heavy shit (or so ive heard?) so im trynna embody that method. im not like a diehard king fan but i def like to look at some of the things that certain writers use to help them write and at least try them for myself.

person who writes a lot of fucked up horror shit listens to metal? okay sure ill try that. i did not expect to actually unintentionally get into metal but it is what it is.

like sometimes i just hear a song and im like "oh thats... thats this scene im thinking of. that fits PERFECTLY" and like BOOM. its history.

#archive of our own #ao3 #fanfiction #writing #it came from the drafts #no but fanfic soundtracks are so cool and i know im just rambling but yeah

I think the frustrating thing about Spotify recommendations is sometimes it really does introduce me to lots of cool Indie Bands that I really vibe with and allow me to try some new stuff and sometimes it keeps telling me that I need to Listen to Mother Mother (I have not listened to Mother Mother ever and at this point I never will because it is a pride thing.)

Or a random unfunny tiktok joke song from 3 years ago/ a viral YouTube song from over a decade ago.

#simon says #will probably delete this later #but yeah my recommendations are all mother mother and my spotify weekly is a mix between sweet ass new bands and unfunny bad joke songs #my spotify weekly has Cherry Bomb by the Runaways which is a good recommendation and then the Creative Song from don't hug me im scared #which is a bad recommendation to be clear #i know I have a couple of odd songs from things like shows or cartoon bumpers in my playlist (i got whats new scooby doo on there) #but that doesn't mean that I need to be recommended fuckin Death By Glamour?? #like there's no videogame soundtracks in my playlist why the fuck is that there #If I wanna listen to Undertale music I would just listen to the vinyls I own!! #anyways this is just a vent against spotify #my weekly seems to have a LOT more indie stuff so imma check it out real fast #i want to discover more music because I do eventually want to just swap to mp3s and an mp3 player instead of spotify #that is one thing I like about Spotify the most is that it helps me find more bands that I like #but I could probably find stuff via looking up youtube playlists as well #so it's not worth paying for anymore #I asked for an mp3 player for Christmas so hopefully I get one and I can just start using that instead #i miss my mp3 these last 7 years without it have sucked I miss my designated music device #anyways dont have to worry about going ad free if you just have the digital files on your computer and put them directly in a player #😎👍

Honestly, every single time the whole 'poppy playtime is a bendy rip-off' stuff ever shows up I find it all extremely unconvincing and silly.

For one thing, rip-off usually is meant to imply that it's a cheap lazy copy of a better more polished thing, and uh. Sorry but even from chapter 1? Poppy Playtime is a better game than Bendy, it has a simple but understandable story, the game manages to be thrilling, creepy, and very intense at times... I mean that Huggy chase in the vents ALONE puts it way above Batim for me.

I mean BATDR had the most slow stupid chase I've ever seen [and every other encounter with the ink demon is text telling u he's there and then a timer goes down and u get jumpscared] and batim's chases were either silly or just not nearly as theatric or terrifying as that.

When making the vent sequence I mean not only is it absolutely horrifying to realize how fast Huggy is in there but also it's so theatric and cool? The fact that you round a corner after thinking you escaped only to see a terrifying animation of that thing crawling toward you is awesome! I wish Bendy had stuff like that!

And all the stuff it shares with Bendy are generic things Bendy ripped from other horror games/media anyways. I'm not saying Poppy Playtime isn't inspired by Bendy I for sure think it is but Bendy is such a generic story that somehow fails to do tropes 100 other horror games have done any comparison only makes Poppy Playtime look better.

"It has employees being sacrificed for their company" That is not a concept Bendy invented, literally look at any of the sci-fi horror series Bendy is very inspired by. This is literally a twist in the original Alien.

"It has a scary woman forcing you to do tasks for her" Once again, not a concept Bendy invented, a scary mysterious person forcing you to do fetch-quests is a concept found in tons of horror media. And at least Poppy Playtime gave you a chase with her and let you defeat her, look at poor malice. She's barely on screen for more than 10 minutes before she gets stabbed.

"It has a cult worshipping the monster" This is something tons of horror games and media have done too. I mean In The Tall Grass has a guy who worships a giant magical rock in the middle of a grass maze, Bioshock [which Bendy has only been taking more and more direct inspiration from while failing to grab any of the compelling parts] also had a lot of themes of religion and cult-ish behavior, almost every horror media franchise has at one point done a cult thing.

Bendy couldn't even come up with a reason Sammy worships the ink demon, the best motivation we've ever gotten is just that 'he's crazzyyyy the ink made him insaneeee'. Who is the cheap rip-off here?

At least Poppy Playtime gave their cultist a motive for worshipping the monster + a proper boss fight that feels intense and looks awesome! Bendy didn't even let you kill Malice [she got stabbed in front of you and then just collapsed on the floor how thrilling] meanwhile you get to kill three of the villains in Poppy Playtime and the gameplay and action in those scenes have only gotten better as the game went on.

I mean Sammy walks into a room and goes "AAA SCARY I'M BEING MURDERED" then later shows up and for NO REASON sees a normal human man and assumes it's the ink demon before once again someone else kills him for you. In Poppy Playtime you defeat Catnap as he floods the world with this horrible nightmare-inducing gas that intensifies the color palette and his design. Fight off versions of him that are illusions that you need your flare gun for, then watch in a wonderful animation as he mistakes the monster for his savior before getting killed by it, in a brutal way I might add, which game are we accusing of being cheap, lazy garbage again?

I just find this argument to be people who Really Really need to find a reason to hate Poppy Playtime which I think is silly. The devs being weird, shady people is already enough reason to dislike the game, you don't need to invent reasons why secretly every part of the game is malicious or bad. But esp when I see Bendy fans saying they don't support Poppy Playtime or dislike it bc of its devs or even saying its cringe ummmm.

I have bad news about the fact Bendy's devs are worse and it took not one, but TWO over an hour long videos to cover it all. Plus the Bendy games are just the worse games in every aspect, if I could sell my batim copy for a copy of Poppy Playtime I wouldn't hesitate at all.

Saying this as a bendy fan, we have no right to be super judgy towards Poppy Playtime. If Poppy Playtime is embarrassing cringe, Bendy is too and is way more embarrassing of an interest. We shouldn't spread misinformation just because we all want to hate Poppy Playtime, you can dislike Poppy Playtime without making up a bunch of nonsense to justify it.

Honestly seeing people just blatantly be unfairly mean to Poppy Playtime only makes its critics look worse and makes it hard to take any backlash to the games seriously. Because surprise surprise if you spread misinformation to make a point people will quickly stop listening to Anything you have to say bc they won't trust you're telling the truth anymore.

#feel free to reblog but Im not gonna tag this its way too rambley at least for my taste to go in the main tags #ramblez #also man can I say I didnt want to make this post super long but theres so many other points I could make in poppys favor #the fact we got to see the hour of joy and it was terrifying we dont even know if joey actually killed anyone anymore #the gameplay itself is more diverse and fun then batim which is a walking simulator that pretends to have fighting n stealth mechanics #at least Poppy n Missys friendship gives u a reason to care for missys safety before shes put in danger #Missy can actually express unlike Boris who sits there looking cute with no proper expressions until he gets yoinked and ur supposed to car #bc he was uh adorable? And therefore you spend an entire chapter tryna get him and get an extremely bad boss fight in return- #also soundtrack wise I like poppys tracks more theyre unique and fun and you can tell which part of the game they come from #bendy has so many dramatic reveal stingers and tracks that are really hard to tell which part of the game they come from #bertrums boss fight has my favorite theme bc its so specifically crafted for him and unique and meanwhile Norman has one of the worst imo #a lot of Bendys soundtrack if I played it for you right now it would be hard to guess where its from bc it all kinda sounds the same #the reveal music for the machine for bendy land for heavenly toys for alices domain all sound the same x_x #its just so frustrating but yeah my point is can we all stop making up new reasons to shit on poppy playtime its just kinda dumb #it feels less like actual criticism and at this point just feels like elaborate justification for cringe culture which I hate #okay thats it bye sorry this is 10 pages long-

Just a brief music appreciation post for how the Riddler always gets the best music in projects he's in. Gotham's theme for him, The Batman's, just love that it's established that mfer has absolute bangers for whenever he's on screen.

#im just being obsessive over music again #listening to gotham's soundtrack and the batman's #as well as the diff podcasts #my hyperfixation is so obvious rn #edward nygma #riddler #Yeah character design is great but don't you love sound design?

I just finished buddy daddies and I’m like genuinely astounded wtf why was that one of the best anime I’ve ever seen

#especially for only twelve episodes like all the characters that needed to be were super well fleshed out and the plot was just the right #amount of filler vs plot and even the soundtrack banged!!! #also the voice acting was spectacular #kazuki especially impressed me and I thought I recognized his voice so I looked it up. of course it’s Hasegawa Langa’s seiyuu #buddy daddies #but yeah I wouldn’t change a single thing about that show
