How's the first impression you've got from :
Guy
Kakashi
Genma
Yamato
Shizune
Asuma
Ibiki
Izumo and kutetsu
And how's your relationship with each now
Love uu <3
“What’s this!? A love confession!? You shouldn’t have.”
Tumblr media
“Guy’s got the heart of a golden-retriever. Always has. When we were kids, even I thought his high-energy was overkill, though. Can’t really blame a kid for being enthusiastic, but there’s more to life than constantly training. Don’t know how Kakashi deals with it sometimes, but I guess it helps to know that everything Guy does comes from a good-natured and well-meaning place. Once you get past his gung-ho lifestyle, he’s a lot of fun to be around, and some of his enthusiasm is pretty contagious.”
Tumblr media
“At first, Kakashi has this air of mystique around him that drives people wild, even more-so when you’re a teenage girl. He was kind of a kill-joy back in the day. So much so, that he came off as jerky at times, like he was too good to spend time with the less-gifted children. As you can imagine, I took great offense to this, being the student of a Sannin and all. Life has a way of making you or breaking you, and he’s definitely lightened-up since then. Maybe a lot, when I think about how he reads Master Jiraiya’s smut in the open like it’s the daily news. Outside of that little quirk, Kakashi’s cool. Oh yeah, and before you ask, I have tried sneaking a peak beneath that mask a few times, but he’s always managed to outfox me.”
Tumblr media
“Genma is one of those guys that I knew-of growing up but didn’t get to know until we were working on the Chuunin Exams together. He’s got a great sense of humor. Spiced up the paperwork we had to do, anyway. He’s a solid guy, even in spite of that oral fixation of his. I’d work with him again and again.”
Tumblr media
“The first time I met Yamato, I thought he had the dullest personality imaginable, even more than Ibiki. It wasn’t until I learned more about his. . .past that I decided that I’d be more patient with him. He’s come out of his shell in some ways. Word on the street is that he can be incredibly intimidating, but I’ll believe that when I see it. Maybe once the dust clears and we get the Village on the right track, I can sit down and get to know him better, but he likes to stay busy.”
Tumblr media
“Shizune’s older than me and has always acted like it. I exasperated her when we were younger, so much so that she’d try to scold me. I think she figured that since we were both students of highly-respected ninja then we ought to behave as such, but there was way too much fun to be had in learning techniques and showing them off, as far as I was concerned. I wanted people know who my teacher was and what he was showing me, even if that meant terrorizing the community with the snakes. Hahaha! After Orochimaru left the Village, Shizune tried to help me readjust. She visited me when I was being kept under strict surveillance. She even snuck in dango to me when she knew she could get away with it. We still see each other now and then and catch up when we can, you know, when Lady Tsunade isn’t keeping her on her toes.”
Tumblr media
“Being the son of Lord Third, I had Asuma pegged as some pampered brat born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I was convinced that he’d never have to fight for anything in his life and would be given the safest missions a ninja could ever be assigned. I thought I was right when ,sure enough, he became the Daimyo’s personal bodyguard and got to live it up in a palace, of all places. Turns out, I was wrong about him. Asuma was a cool-headed guy who wanted to make his own way in life and didn’t want his father influencing every decision he had to make. I respect that. I wish we could have talked more, but between his team, his father, and Kurenai, there wasn’t much room for li’l ol’ me. Rest in peace, Asuma.”
Tumblr media
“I mentioned a while back that the first time Ibiki and I met was during our Chuunin Exams. I thought I could get under his skin, but even back then, this guy had iron-clad mental fortitude. The guy’s a rock. In fact, it’s taken years and the combined efforts of many of us to get this guy to relax and kick up his feet, but we’re getting there. He’s arguably my favorite pet project right now.”
Tumblr media
“I don’t have any direct memories of meeting Izumo or Kotetsu. They’ve always kinda been there, in school, on missions. It’s weird thinking of them as individuals because even back when we were all kids, there they were, together. I used to joke that they used to be a two-headed kid that the ANBU found in the woods and Lady Tsunade had to separate them and reattach their heads onto new bodies. Haha! They didn’t like that too much. They’ll throw me a bone and laugh about it now that we’re all older. Anyway, anytime Ibiki needs a prank pulled on him, they’re my go-to guys.”

The Girl Who Waited... or hold on to your horses we are about to have probably the highest rated episode of the seaaaaason
sexism rank objectification (female character is ogled/harassed/turned into a sex joke by the doctor and/or a lead we’re supposed to root for and/or the camera): 10/10
sexism rank plot-point (lead female character is only there to serve plot, not to have her emotional interiority explored): 10/10
interesting complex or pointlessly complex (does the complexity serve the narrative or does it just serve to be confusing as a stand-in for smart, this includes visually): 9/10
furthers character and/or lore and/or plot development (broader question that ties into the previous ones, at least two of these, ideally three should be fulfilled): 8/10
companion matters (the companion doesn’t always have to be there, but if the companion is there, can they function without the doctor– and overall per season how often is the companion the focus or POV of the story): 10/10
the doctor is more than just “godlike” (examines the doctor’s flaws and limitations, doesn’t solve a plot by having it revolve entirely around the doctor’s existence): 9/10
doesn’t look down on previous doctor who (by erasing or mocking its importance, by redoing and “bettering” previous beloved plotpoints or characters, etc.): 6/10
isn’t trying to insert hamfisted sexiness (m*ffat famously talked a lot about how dw should be sexier multiple times, he sucks at writing it): 10/10
internal world has consistency (characters have backgrounds, feel rooted in a place with other people, generally feel like they have Lives): 7/10
Politics (how conservative is the story): 7/10
FULL RATING: 86/100 (if I can count….)
WELL OKAY THOSE ARE SOME RATINGS!
OBJECTIFICATION: BOOM! SOLID! NOTHING! IN FACT AMY IS IN HER... 50s? I can't count. She's been there for 36 years. and like yeah, she's maybe unrealistically slim, buuuut they gave her this neat hodge-podge armor that she made which bulks her out and the rest is like, Karen Gillen has slim arms, it's fine, and they did actually age up her face so she does look older and not like A M*ffat Fantasy older either
and younger Amy is also chill in this one, she's just vibing... well, she's not vibing, she's having a terrible time. but see beloooow on how that episode goes about writing her terrible time
PLOT-POINT: aaaand fuckn! winner *dings bell* it's all about herrrrr it's about her abandonment, it's about her relationship with Rory, it's about her ability to survive on her own and what it could do to her as a person, it's about the shit introduced on Day Flipping One (first episode)
and it does it well! scenes that in days of yore might have cut from Amy to centre on Rory and the Doctor (am reminded of her grief over Rory being erased from existence being undercut by the camera focusing on the Doctor, or about everything related to her with her pregnancy and Demon's Run)
this is the definitive Amy Exploration and while I've said I'm not the biggest Karen Gillen fan in the past, I think she was good in this! she has this kind of weariness to her, a bluntness, an awkwardness in the way she speaks and holds herself, the script and the makeup give her so much to do that doesn't mean she has to be attractive all the time, and it's so good for her ability Do Shit
COMPLEXITY: it sets up a neat Sci Fi concept in order to explore a very human relationship! the best kind of science fiction. like. no notes here, onwards
CHARACTERS/LORE/PLOT: arghhhhhhhhhhh everything I want
Amy and Rory explore their relationship on multiple levels, finally giving me a proper episode of Amy's feelings for Rory and not just little moments? check
an episode in which Rory and Amy challenge the Doctor in how he treats people and his morality, specifically in how it also affects his relationship to them, and what that does to them (and also changes them)?
an episode in which Amy gets to say fuck you to the Doctor?
"I don’t care that you got old, I care that we didn’t grow old together"
Amy facing herself???!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah good stufffffffff
COMPANIONS MATTER: this one sidelines the Doctor for the companions! it's all about them, they make the choices, they drive the plot, the Doctor is there to do a bit of science and facilitate the story for and about them!
“GODLIKE” DOCTOR: see above point! such a good choice to put him in the Tardis and not have him present when Amy makes her choices (also because she might have just killed him lol)
the one Part where he takes control is the tragedy at the end, and he gets pushback for it, it's not a brilliant solve for everything that everyone claps at him for, it's a sad simple necessity that's got a streak of pragmatic cruelty in it and echoes back on his relationship with Amy, and while young!Amy doesn't get to react too much to that, I think it's fine, because older!Amy does and says goodbye to Rory and young!Amy would never quiiite get that emotion I think, simply because she didn't live it
she was a bit antagonist with her older self, but not being too weird about her being onboard, but I imagine there's a small part of her that might be partly relieved or slightly discount older!Amy because she no longer exists
the one thing perhaps is that we won't know what they told her, and because this show has depicted Amy being kept out of the loop "for her sake" before, it's not like... 100% unreasonable to imagine the Doctor and Rory might pretty up the story again
but not knowing how that goes down is fine. it's a little mystery at the end of the episode
PREVIOUS DOCTOR WHO: there's not much of that in here and tbh I don't think there has to be. it's about Amy, not the Doctor's past
“SEXINESS”: FUCKING! THREE FOR THREE!!! ULTIMATE EPISODE GIVE IT A PRIZE!!!!!!
INTERNAL WORLD: it's pretty cool, kept reeeelatively simple so it could be explained in the first few minutes, built upon slightly, but ultimately remaining quite tight so that the focus could be Amy's hideout on this strange little world where everyone died once
POLITICS: not much politics in this one, so we refer back to how it treats its female companion and it's the gold star winner of the whole thing
FULL RATING: 86/100 (if I can count….)
Highest! Rated! Episode!
and who knows if it'll get beat, we shall seeeee
I mean, what can I say, Amy is a fully rounded character who's running the show and her relationship with Rory is explored, and the Doctor is having some fucked up morality, and it's got neat pacing!
it hasn't got anything that's actually "low" it's mainly just that not every episode needs to refer back to classic!who or have big political messaging, it was pretty fucking Solid!
one thing I would say that wasn't covered in the Rating is that I'm not vibing with this title. I understand where it's coming from (referencing back to kid Amy), but I think while it is examining that childhood anxiety, Amy is simply... not a girl. and in the grand *waves hands* everything of M*ffat, he really likes titles with "girl" in them, which is I imagine therefore not this writer's choice
Girl in the fireplace -- okay, it's the first time, it's fine The Girl Who Waited -- ehhh not a fan, but I guess Amy was a girl who waited, it's a bit reductive for the episode The Impossible Girl -- oh, come on this is silly, it's flattening out the whole character into a plot device The Girl Who Died -- *shakes fist* M*ffaaaaat stop!
But yeah. Episode! Fuckn Happening!

Okay since I'm actually awake now, (proper) HAIR UPDATE! ❤️🖤❤️
I wanted to add this onto my post from last night but tumblr hates reblog photosets. Anyways I was very aware that posting my V in the darkest corner of an apartment with black hair wasn't really ... showing anything - but it was very much her vibe and that's been the point of this entire project, buckling down and learning Blender from nothing, reverse-engineering mods and systems I was only NEW to about a month or so ago so I could figure out how to bring 'back' her hair, but like ... even more how I wished it was.
And it's finally done (well ... structurally).
More development rambles beloooow ~
I'm not releasing this (yet) as I'd now put myself in 'polish' phase, where I'll be tweaking some physics and other stuff like the vertex painting which influences the shine - brighter hair colours look a bit too blown out at the moment, and I'm not sure if this is because it's too shiny or because of my custom normals (may have to tone them down a bit, idk). You can see what I mean below -
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shadows are also behaving oddly at certain angles, and I wasn't sure if it was a harsh lighting situation but upon changing the lighting up ... no. Something weird is going on. So that'll need troubleshooting (for lighter colours at least). Also some textures just are acting weird on certain parts when I don't think they should look that way so yeah ... more ... troubleshooting ahead. :V
I'm also going to look into if there's something I can do for the 'efficiency' of this mesh because I noticed some pretty severe frame slowdowns taking close up shots - though only sometimes?? Not sure what that was about at all. I'm assuming it's my gpu being pushed harder as I get closer to the hair, but upon changing the hair in the character creator to another and then back it just went away again? So no idea what the hell was going on there. It felt a bit almost like a memory leak, but I didn't do a check to see what my system was doing so I'll have another look if it happens again.
Possible (hypothetical) causes:
Could be texture size, these hair cards have 2k textures apart from the alpha (4k) which is double vanilla textures so that is also a possibility as a fix (though I'd be loathe to do it).
Double rigs. I noticed last night when in my rigging phase with UUH4V that reducing it from three meshes and rigs to TWO meshes and two rigs significantly improved framerate lag (I mean it was minor but noticeable enough) in the character creation screen, so it could hypothetically be something to do with calculations of running two rigs at the same time. If that is the case, I could probably just rig this to the Alt hair rig. Currently I'm using Alt's for the back and left side of the hair, whereas the fringe at the front and the curl over the shoulder is rigged to Old Rogue. I'll probably still keep using UUH4V just … one rig only.
Last in the list? Hair cards. There are a lot. Maybe too many. They're also of a higher poly than last time. That said I've looked at other mods with heavier polycounts than mine (what gave me the courage to push further in the first place after my very low poly attempt 1.0) that caused more obvious frame slowdown in just the character creator alone. I feel there is still a minor slowdown currently but it's on the edge of noticeable (like, 30fps vs 60fps). As it goes though, this is still pretty insanely efficient (thank YOU Hair Tools for Blender).
BONUS: Mods. Other mods. The thing I use to hook in a DLL for pose control. Could always be that?
So uh, guess that's what I'll be working on. I don't know how much time I should be spending on getting this 'frame efficient' considering anyone using this would be primarily be for screenshots, and given the specs I'm currently running (AMD Ryzen 5 CPU and an RTX 2060) are being re-classed as the 'bare minimum' with Phantom Liberty coming out, and I am planning on upgrades to my PC anyway.
We'll see? (Though in my heart of hearts, I have have had potato PCs for years and I want to support the lowest specs I possibly can). I dunno let me know what you think about that one as a possible mod user (and someone who actually reads these, wow).
Anyways all that matters is jesus christ I finally did this. I taught myself hair. From scratch.
Promised tutorial ... soon. After I maybe do nothing for a few days lol.

all of the ♡ valentine’s day self ship ask game ♡ with actor as well >:3c ~ @soft-f1sh-yearnings
Thankl yoooou Oodles!! I shall >:33
Tumblr media
bastard time beloooow~
adoration — how would your f/o speak about you to someone else?
He talks about me upppp and doooown! Let him talk and he will TALK <3
be mine — how would they react to you flirting with them, do they get flustered? flirt back?
He’d be alll over that! You think you can flirt better than he can? ha! don’t be ridiculous. He then spends the rest of the day making it MY PROBLEM AFSKGJKHGSJ
bouquet — what’s their favorite flower and why?
Oh, he’s always been a classic red rose fan! Love, devotion, anger, his general color of choice! What better than the color of adoration~
crush — when did your f/o realize their feelings for you? how did they deal with those feelings?
There had been something like feelings there in childhood and even through high school but they died down once he met Celine. He was drawn to her fire and passion. He starts to realize that he still felt something when I drunkenly confess to him late one night at one his parties. As Celine starts to drift and his fears that she wants to leave him become fact, he falls even farther under the guise of heartache and drunken stares across the darkened halls of the mansion. He was generally flirty just like always but more touchy, a bit more open. Really, he didn’t handle them well because of everything else happening at the time.
confession — how’d the confession happen, and looking back on it, what are your (and f/o’s) thoughts abt how you both were back then?
Soooooo, I am the one that ends up confessing to him under starlight in a haze of drunken emotion. I mistake him for Damian and ask him if i can vent for a moment. “Damian” agrees and this leads to a bit of longing and guilt and god the LONGING. Her eyes are so full of love and lust and every emotion. She casually says how even though it’s cheesy she’s always thought of him as the brightest shining star, That nothing even compares to the glow that he gives off. That passion, that fire. There’s just no one else like him not in the whole universe.
Actor tells her that he actually drunkenly confessed to him rather than talking to Damian as she had originally thought somewhere in his drunken depression. Despite his feelings for Celine, he felt something soft and warm and light for the first time in what seemed like forever when she said that to him. He says that he feels the same. That marrying Celine was a mistake and he wants to make it up to her.....(she didn’t believe he had feelings since he was drunk and depressed and desperate but yanno)
Christ it was all a mess and sure does read like it. Still, something did come out of it in the end.
darling — what outfits would you both wear on a date? feel free to show pics!
Ya’ll know how Mark is. Fancy suits, red dresses, anything red and eye catching!
Tumblr media
He insists on sharing his fancier outfits with me so for him I’d be more prone to dressing up! Mostly dresses and accessories! Catch me wearing black dresses with red accents <333
Tumblr media
date night — describe your ideal date with them! spare no expense, realism to the wind, what’s your dream outing?
mark already owns a mansion anddd millions so we can already go wherever we want lmao. My favorite will always be days spent at home alone, just the two of us. where only I have his attention~
hand holding — how are they with physical affection? who initiates it first?
Very affectionate!!Though he’s like that generally he’s extra attached to me and if anyone shows me that kind of attention ooohh buddy he’s gonna rub the fact that we’re together in their faaace
hugs — are you and f/o affectionate / open about your relationship in public?
Mark is nothing if not a show off...and I fall into that place too. He’d scream about me to the world if I’d let him lol
love letters — are they good at expressing how they feel? what’s their best way of letting you know they love you?
He’s a whiny little drama queen, when he’s upset the whole world knows lol
Really he rants to me about anything and everything that upsets him. Hell, I’m the first or second person he goes to so I always knoooww
smitten — was it easy for the people around you and f/o to figure out you liked each other? did they get involved in you getting together at all?
SO EASY OMG EVERYONE KNEW I WAS SMITTEN FOR HIM EVERYONE!! THEY WOULD TRY BRO BEFORE CELINE
soulmates — do you believe in soulmates? what about your f/o? did that change for either of you when you met each other?
Mark believes in soulmates wholeheartedly!! Though with everything that happened with his ex it’s less the kind of faith a child carries and more cautious.
I think of soulmates more as a fun story idea than anything else
sweets — what’s their favorite valentines-esque food? (think anything you’d get in that seasonal aisle at the grocery store!)
RED VELVET!! PLEASE HE WILL EAT ANYTHING RED VELVET!!
valentine — gush about your valentine! ^^
j-just uhhh, f-feeling th-things thinking about him uhhh d-drunkenly flirty while I try very hard to not melt into each and every thing eh does m-makes me very soft =//////=

It may have been questionable as to why she was all the way up this tree in the first place, but the truth was: Only Touri knew the answer to that question.
Unfortunately though, the limb she clung to wasn't near as sturdy as it looked, and very soon it gave way. Fortunately however, she was able to make a quick save, narrowly landing on both feet!
Tumblr media
"Look out down beloooow!"
That was the only bit of warning anyone was going to receive from her! Best heed it!
Tumblr media
Now, Brookie would have been fully prepared to full-on catch a child. That would come naturally, but this was a whole-ass woman. What in the goddamn fuck...? "Girllll........Girl What? Hello????? Nice to meet you?" Flabbergasted, but not unhappy.

alright so i have. a lot of questions and thoughts on changeling physiology
tldr it’s quite unorganized so; asexual reproduction, shifting is a natural instinct but can be expanded through study and discipline, Form is easier to reproduce than Function, changelings passively absorb energy via background radiation, conservation of mass... ha, energy efficiency, regeneration is an aware but subdued/vulnerable state, you can sneak up on odo but not most changelings, exaggerated and inhuman movement, language and body language learning, Viscosity tm, vital organs exist, injury and physical tolerance, focusing the senses...
asexual reproduction. loads of possibilities here. they might split in two (which could mean they’re really all clones of one another or else slight variations on an original) or lob a bit of themselves off which then begins to form a new individual. they might fragment off and start growing more individuals from themselves until they’re mature enough to carry on, or they might produce spores!!! OR they might reproduce the way coral do. the main complication is that this is meant for simple or single-celled organisms and also maybe leaves them all more vulnerable to that Clone Problem of being wiped out by a single virus. but perhaps their ability to mimic other types of dna is involved in providing new individuals with a robust enough mix of original genes to be baseline Adaptable
also a problem with simple organisms is that they propagate Extremely quickly and tend to be short-lived and. unintelligent (think fruit flies) so - changelings could have a fair few ‘simple organism’ traits but are ofc complex in reality
the mimicry -- do they actually become the material?? if you scan a changeling as a rock, they have the make up of a rock. but what about more complex materials? or systems? like fire? that requires energy input. im gonna go with: 1. depends on skill level 2. some things like fire they can mimic visually, maybe even with proper light and heat, but does take energy to do so.
speaking of which HOW do they get energy. i think i rambled about this a little in another post, but basically im going with the idea that they’re sort of filter feeders on the dust of the universe... they’re just VERY energy-efficient and collecting these little bits of radiation being thrown around space is a passive activity. i.e. odo probs wouldnt even know he does it, even though he does it constantly.
um. conservation of mass. the biggest thing ive seen odo turn into is that blob-monster, which was maybe 10′x10′ ? 15 at most? large, but probably somewhat unstable, and not huge. the smallest thing in canon is probably the mouse. ive seen the idea that humanoid-formed odo might be. hollow? there’s no need for him to actually form internal organs or any of that, its all surface-level, and besides. if we’re going with the idea that they can reproduce Form more than Function, they wouldnt actually work. he doesnt even eat anyway, so why waste that kinda energy?
that said!! there are probably some basic object functions they can reproduce. im gonna say that maybe your average changeling isnt going to be able to make a microwave that actually microwaves (not without a great deal of practice and scientific understanding), but could more easily become a lamp, for instance, that does actually turn on. that means they have some ability for bioluminescence, but again that requires energy and would shorten the time they can hold that shape.
regeneration obvs. is a chance to re-acquire energy, but we’re told odo doesnt sleep - it’s still a resting state, but maybe he’s still at least somewhat aware of his surroundings, if a bit unable to focus. he certainly seems to still undergo thought processes, etc. but if attacked in this state, he’ll be quite vulnerable, esp if he’s just reached hour 16, but he wont be completely defenseless. WAY more likely to hide than retaliate though, esp depending on where in the cycle he happens to be at the time -- even if that werent also kinda his personality. maybe its like bein rly rly rly tired but ur brain wont keep quiet.
kinda enjoy the idea of changelings becoming a little translucent or misshapen when they zone out. it takes some effort, practice, skill to remain present. a habit!
im sure he doesnt really bother to maintain constant humanoid-shape unless someone’s likely to look at him. could see him MAYBE being caught unawares, on occasion, whoops. very rarely, but how embarrassing
on that note, if you’re able to sneak up on odo and surprise him, he might momentarily jump a little out of shape (like a cartoon, exaggerated). other emotions like disgust or haughtiness might come off a little exaggerated too
at large, humanoid body language is a learned language for changelings, even if they can pick it up very quickly
odo’s got his humanoid walk cycle down pretty good but probably not perfectly, actually. i sort of imagine it could be a little more flowing -- not always -- but if he’s doing something he normally doesnt do, he moves a little less like a human bc he hasnt practiced it enough
ok whats the viscosity of changelings? like..... really runny and liquidy? j.... jelly? i kinda refer back to single-celled organisms again. cytoplasm w control.
in fact odo probably has some very simple (or maybe very complex, considering, but able to disguise themselves accordingly. so simple-appearing?) organs going on in there as well as cytoplasm of some sort
they dont sweat, they dont bleed, they dont smell, they dont taste, they dont sleep
they DO see, hear, are tactile, and feel most emotions that humans do. some of that emotions stuff is cultural
losing a little tiny bit of themselves (injury, i.e., a bit chopped off by a weapon) probs doesnt really hurt much more than getting a scrape, but if u like chop em in half thats gonna be Bad. but most surface level damage is just like getting a haircut or something, no pain. re: that scene with odo stopping the turbolift like.... that could’ve been painful
FOCUS!! sight, sound, etc - im writing senses as things that dont necessarily need to be located in the. face. bc they dont. but im thinking odo tends to concentrate it of course to better interact with others. that means technically - he could. .. . ‘accumulate light sensors’ and see out the back of his head, for instance, even without forming eyes, but because odo’s odo and he’s really trying to fit in he usually wont do that sort of thing and you can still sneak up on him. sometimes he even forgets he can do that kind of thing, when he’s humanoid-formed (unless he’s startled -- then he might revert to more ‘natural’ reactions) - bc he really hasnt spent any time with his people at all
this doesnt even get into the Great Link and changelings being a little bit touch-psychic
another thought !! i like the idea of one limitation being that he has to have seen / experienced in-person / studied / encountered / been exposed to an object, person, or animal to really become it. that’s where skill comes in -- some things are going to come very naturally, like shapes that are common in the universe such as rocks or. plants, in star trek .  they can learn by description or by looking at images and making their best guess, but its not gonna be totally accurate. so - some shapes come from study, like humanoids, and others come more by instinct like rocks and dirt and water, like learning to talk.
so when did odo meet a klingon targ omg
also means they are instinctually EXCELLENT observers, both of material and behavior
but imagine a bird or smth speaking in odos voice yikes
speaking of speaking, odo speaks bajoran and doesnt really know any other languages on his own, except workable cardassian. i.e. he’d have to learn to speak seagull
what if bc odo’s learning and sort of stunted in skill bc of his upbringing and inhibitions his face is..... actually made of latex, sometimes, like when he needs to save energy he goes Low Poly Rendering cos its close enough, and easier, and he’s interacted with plenty of latex and other Made materials bc he’s hardly lived at all anywhere that wasnt built-up by life forms. (probs partly why he seems so interested in practicing other animals and plants -- natural shapes are not shapes he’s been as exposed to, so they’re more interesting - and dynamic - than say, furniture / appliances)
he gives off no body heat, but neither is he cold. room temp, with a wide tolerance
can survive in space and vacuums
they seem somewhat naturally stronger than humans, esp as a sturdy material
some of them can become a magnet, thats just aligning poles / can then reproduce some basic electronics functions
at least they seem to have pretty comparable intelligence to humans so that’s relatable

-Cambridge, Massachusetts -
This is the city you and your group are currently situated in, just four miles away from the walls that make up the Boston QZ.
You're all so close, yet the cruel abilities of mother nature are preventing you from travelling any further. When Joel was well enough to walk again, this is how far you all could make it, to Harvard University in Cambridge and this is where you will stay, to ride out the winter.
With the Boston QZ in view, just over the frozen Charles River, you can see how close it is. You can feel how close it is.
However, you simply cannot risk going out into the harsh conditions any longer to reach the safety that the walls provide. With Joel’s recovery taking nearly a month, it is now well into the middle of December, where the winter snow is at its heaviest.
Johnny suggested walking over the river and he received some absconding looks from Diego for thinking of such a stupid idea “Estupido Amigo... What if one of us were to fall in? Joel has just recovered from pneumonia, be serious!”
Johnny mocks his accent in a question “Is there ever going to be a time when I can say something and you don’t reply with ‘Estupidoooo’”
“Si. It will be when I am unable to speak, or when I'm dead.” Diego retorts and Johnny throws his hands in the air, in defeat. They’re bickering has only gotten worse lately, but it provides a little entertainment for the rest of the group and you all sit there, stifling your laughter's.
Both men had caught on to you what you were doing and turned to reprimand you all. Jackie couldn’t hold it in and barked out her laughter at Johnny's confused expression, Joel was sitting behind you and had buried his face into your neck while bringing his hands up to close them over your mouth.
You smiled underneath and heard Diego's questioning if we all found this funny. You giggled before pulling back Joel’s hands to speak “It's very funny but, listen Johnny, Dee is right, that is a stupid fucking idea and Diego, Johnny has a point too, you do always call him an idiot.”
Johnny turns to Diego and whines, “You see? Thank you, y/n. It’s nice to know someone thinks highly of me” What surprised you was Joel joining in on the friendly squabble and speaking on your behalf, “Hold on now Jon, she didn’t say you weren't an idiot. That stills stands, the point she’s making is, maybe Diego could not remind us that you are one every five minutes.”
Each one of you, apart from Johnny, began nodding their heads in agreement. Diego offered out a hand to him and joked “Forgive me, Compadre. What would the idiot liked to be called instead?”
Everyone was amused at watching the brotherly comradery between the two, even Johnny himself snickered while taking the hand Diego offered, he shook it then replied “Call me Princessa, Papi.”
Johnny squealed like a little girl when trying to run away from Diego, his comments and his actions had you and Jackie hurled over, convulsing with fits of laughter. Joel’s hands remained wrapped around your stomach as you threatened to fall onto the floor, he pulled you back and you looked to him. His own grin was wide and his chest heaved with each deep chuckle.
In that point of time, you looked over his face and adored him. He was happy, really happy. He was laughing and joking around with people that you hope he could consider his friends, maybe even family.
Time slowed down over the sounds of Johnny and Diego messing around as fell into a trance, focusing on Joel and roaming over his features with your eyes.
When he noticed your ogling, he smirked and winked, pulling you in further to whisper “Like what you see, baby? Why don’t yer take a picture.” Joel was teasing but you couldn’t break your day dream. You looked down to his lips and blinked slowly, “I don’t need a picture, I have you right here with me.”
Joel heard the desire in your tone. He felt the passion in your words and he saw the love behind your eyes. He embraced it and he too joined the trance, he got lost in your gaze and was enveloped in them, Joel moved his mouth close to you, brushing his lips against your own, then went to speak “Y/N... I -”
“Go get a room you horny fucks.” Johnny shouted at you both. You laughed into Joel's face while he closed his eyes. He shook his head from the disturbance and muttered “Idiot.”
“I thought we agreed it was princess?” Johnny said with a serious tone, holding his hand to his hips and looking to you both. Joel opened his eyes, grinned and held your eye contact while he spoke out loud, addressing Dee “Old man.... I’ll catch him and you grab the tape.”
Instantly, Joel rushed to his feet and took after Johnny, who was now screaming, jumping over chairs and tables to get away. You and Jackie giggled together watching him clearly fail to outrun Joel. Diego did grab the tape and you watched the two men tussle with Johnny to tie him up, starting off with a piece over his mouth.
“Joel don’t! I’m sorry man. Bro please, c’mon! I’m - Hmm. Mm.” Was Johnny’s last words before he was silenced. He mumbled into the tape and squirmed under the hold, Diego was by his side, hee-hawing with laughter while he tore strip after stripe of tape and handed them to Joel.
After he was done, Joel stood and breathed heavily, “God damn. Will you listen to that, folks. Peaceful silence at last. What do you say Diego, shall we leave him like that for the night?”
“Yes brother. I could use a good night's sleep.” Dee replied and patted Joel on the shoulder. Jackie nudged your shoulder to tear your attention away, she smiled at you and darted her eyes to the men “He seems to be settling in really well, huh?”
Joel looked to you both just as you were nodding your head to her, he saw you that you two were whispering about him and so, he told Diego goodnight while walking towards you. “Already, Hermano? It’s early.” Dee asked.
Joel only answered ‘yup’, before he hurled you over his shoulder and began walking away from the group, towards your room.
“Joel... What are you doing?” You questioned his motive as you swayed with each step he took, when he placed his hand between your legs and squeezed, you fully understood what he was implying.
Leaning up the best you could while slung over his shoulder, you waved to the group and smiled, “Goodnight, guys. Joel is just tired.”
Jackie smirked, Diego looked away to laugh while Johnny still squirmed on the floor but when Joel exited the canteen and was far enough away from them hearing, he corrected you “Joel is rock hard in his pants and is going to fuck his lady.”
“Oh... Your lady, huh?” you taunted to him and then yelped when he threw you forward to stand on your feet, “Uh-huh.” then he picked you up, wrapping your legs around him and walked into a dorm room, adding “You’re my lady, y/n.”
——
Waking up in the early hours of the morning with Joel, you looked to him sleeping beside you and kissed his cheek. After his admittance last night of you being 'his lady', he had made love to you for hours on end, bringing wave after wave of pleasure to you. Your legs felt like jelly when you pried yourself out from his hold and stood.
Walking to the bathroom to relieve yourself, you felt the after effects of his actions within your heat and it ached nicely. With his temporary illness in the way of him being able to pleasure you, or vice versa, there was a build-up of sexual tensions between you both but last night, you were able to release all of it on to each other.
When you came back to the room and saw him still fast asleep, worn out and exhausted, you smiled at your thoughts of last night...
After the fourth session, you had fell asleep on Joel's chest, with him still inside of you. But he had awoke you an hour later with his slow grinds and his member was hard again. The transition from sleeping to waking up feeling full of his cock was bliss, as he brought more pleasure to you.
He was so gentle, soft and caring when holding your ass in place to push his hips up into you, whispering his reassurances into your ear “I’m right here darlin, I got you y/n”
When you came and only when you came first, did he then let himself go. You could feel him being too careful with his thrusts, he was holding himself back, so you lifted your head off his chest to tell him “S’okay Joel. You can go harder if you want to.”
Laying your head back down, into his neck instead when he wrapped his arms around your back and interlocked his fingers, he then kissed your lips as he buried himself deeper. You moaned hoarsely, then he brought his knees up and thrusted his hips off the bed, to piston himself inside of you over and over again.
Joel placed a hand to the back of your head, pushing you into him to slide his tongue inside your mouth, deepening the kiss. You felt him grab your hair when he was nearing his peak and when his pace was increasing, you whined to him “That’s it Joel. Keep fucking me baby, just like that.”
Joel slowed his thrusts almost to a stop, and when you asked what was wrong, he admitted, “The moment before I cum... I want to stay in that moment darlin, I j-just want to f-feel-”
You shushed his stammered explanation and sat up, “I know what you need baby, just relax for me Joel and let me take care of you this time.”
You know exactly what Joel wants, so you begin rocking your hips into him and when you feel his body tense from underneath you, nearing his orgasm, you stop your motions all together. Joel wants to be edged and so you keep doing that.
After a while, he looked down his body and shuddered at the sight of his cock disappearing in your pussy, he gripped onto your hips and closed his eyes just as he was about to release but you pulled off, again.
Joel moaned. He actually moaned and blew out an exhausted, breathy exhale. You leaned down and asked seductively “Do you want release baby?”
“Yes. Oh God, yes.” His eyes rolled shut when he felt you slip his dick back inside and he nodded his head, but what struck Joel was the authority in your tone on your next question “Yes, what?”
Joel's eyes opened again and he noticed the feral look in your eyes while you slowly rocked back and forth on him, he licked his lips and replied “Yes, Ma’am.” Then his fingers dug into the skin on your hips as he watched your breasts bounce when picking up your pace, Joel threw his head back when you clenched around him and he warned, “Y/N...”
Quickly pulling yourself off him, he groaned through his orgasm and you wrapped a hand round his cock, pumping every last drop of his cum out onto his belly. You watched him place a hand over his face while he bucked into your hand, then he gasped when you smeared the tip lightly, causing another dribble to seep out.
Joel pushed your hand away and pulled you in for a kiss, moaning into your mouth. The sound of him moaning again was music to your ears, hearing and feeling how vulnerable you made him gave you an incredible boost of confidence. Joel usually took the lead in the bedroom and while you may go on top at times, this was different, he was bent completely at your will and Joel loved it...
“You coming back to bed?” Joel’s question pulled you from your flashback. Leaning against the doorway of the bathroom, fully nude, you narrowed your eyes to him “Were you pretending to sleep?”
You walked over to him when he pulled the sheets back and patted the empty spot beside him. When you climbed in, he pulled you flush against his chest and spooned you, mumbling “Nope. I just knew you weren't by my side.”
He exhaled deeply into your neck when wrapping an arm around you tight and got comfy again. You kissed his face that was pressed against your own and didn’t say anything further. You remained in that position, with him holding you until sleep finally took over your body, once more.

Taming Party!
I’m a giant fangirl, so of course I started off a post about being a Warcraft hunter with a Britney Spears video.
So here’s a tip. If you’re up really late in WOW with friends, or you’re up really early--too early to party up for anything... consider taking advantage of that server refresh, loading up your favorites on Petopia, then hop on your hunter alts and have a taming party. Images of all the pets I caught over about 1.5 hours doing this are beloooow...
Tumblr media
Duskfang
Taking your hunter out for a spin to try and grab pets that have long been on your wish list, or that you’ve never even heard of before can be SUCH fun. I think I picked up the habit back in Vanilla WOW when you had to find certain pets in order to learn pet abilities like Bite 4, then Bite 5 that’s only from this one wolf in this one dungeon... In order to play a hunter, you actually had to go hunting. And, keep your pet fed and happy like it was a 90s gigapet. It was like a mini-game built into your class. Honestly, I loved it. The maintenance and camping rares for a really long time are actually nice memories I have. Either way, whether you’re a new or seasoned Warcraft hunter, a taming party is mainly about -the hunt- you know? The exciting chase where you’ve never seen this thing before up close, you’re not totally sure where it is... heck! You might not even have flying in that zone so it’s even harder to track them down...
Tumblr media
Gib the banana hoarder
And then once you find the beast, you quickly have to figure out how to tame the beast. You might have to drop a frost trap, or climb to the top of a lonely pillar, fly up, then fall off your mount and target the beast mid-air... A taming party can be as complicated as you like, or you can keep it simple. I’ve never done a taming party with a friend before; it’s been kind of a nostalgic lone-wolf journey every time. But that’s fun as well because when you’re on your own,  you can just try the weirdest stuff to figure out how to get the pet that probably only someone like you would want. And it just feels like you’re treating yourself.
Tumblr media
Duskcoat (shiny)
Tumblr media
Feras (also shiny!)
So, some hints on how to do this smoothly with very little frustration... Before you head out, make sure you have plenty of open taming slots. (I tried going with NO pets on me, but I really regretted that when I ran across a rare mob that I had a hard time catching up to and then it died mid-air and I didn’t have a pet on me, or even a tameable animal near me for a few ZONES which was a weird-ass problem to have, and I couldn’t even send in a pet to fetch loot from it if I couldn’t reach it. But I digress...) Having at least one pet on you will help you get out of weird fixes you can’t even anticipate, and as a hunter, a pet is the main tool for your class, so... I recommend not completely clearing the slate.
Tumblr media
Spectral Gryphon
And before you rush off, start with Petopia’s Tameable Looks gallery. There are a few ways you can search and navigate through Petopia to narrow down what you want... But I kind of scroll through the gallery, fall in love with a certain pet model, then click the little Wowhead rocket link on the right side of the pet’s page and go from there. Wowhead will give you an exact map, coords, spawn times (some are every two hours; you don’t have to wait for a server refresh). I don’t use the coords, I’m old school. I just go for it and scan the target area. One thing I wouldn’t be without though is a macro.
Tumblr media
Bulvinkle
Open up your macro panel by typing /macro into your chat box or you can open the main menu by pressing Esc and clicking Macro from there. Once you pick a name and an icon for your pet search macro, inside the macro box, type:
/tar name of pet
I’m not a gaming wizard here, I just need something that shows me if I’m getting close. Getting lost, getting stuck, corpse walking if something goes horribly wrong... those chances to laugh out loud at yourself (or your friends) are all part of the fun. Keep the mood light and try not to feel frustrated. Move on to the next tame on your list if something isn’t working out after a while.
Tumblr media
Quetzl
With your friends, if your friends are roleplayers, this might end up being some really cool RP. Well, between moments when you’re going ‘Oh shoot! Hurry up, hurry up before someone else comes and kills it!’
This is essentially a chance to play Pokemon through WOW if you wanna think of it that way. Good luck and enjoy. And do me a favor when you’re done? Just like they do in the Pokemon game after you finish the Safari Zone? Make sure you /cheer and go “Good haul!!”
And please start your adventure by playing Slumber Party by Britney Spears. This is really all I ask.

saw the last jedi toniiiiight
so spoilers and shit beloooow. sorry for typos and any weirdness it’s almost 1am and my fingers are frozen. no type gud
- i am proud to say i only teared up ONCE throughout the whole movie when carrie was on screen! i was afraid i’d be full on crying.
- also leia using the force to get her ass back into the ship was the BEST THING EVER! i wonder if she just learned bits and pieces of using the force to that extent over the years on her own or if luke gave her tips or what? I GOTS TO KNOW
- ew reylo please don’t happen. especially after that “you are nothing...except to me” deal from kylo that was super gross. also factually wrong DID YOU SEE THAT HUG BETWEEN FINN AND REY? she is nothign really?? bitCH YOU THOUGHT
- and honestly i’m getting even more hardcore sibling vibes from these two. even moar reason i ain’t hopping on that ship lmao. there is something there but it don’t feel like no romance to me.
- ....you are nothing EAT MY ENTIRE ASS, KYLO. disrespecting my girl rey like that. shit.
- hux getting trolled by poe was fantastic. a+ job my good sir i have an even bigger crush on you
- bb8 was perfect, as always. also bb8 is savage as fuck. that droid don’t fuck around, y’all
- PORGS POOOOOORRRRRGGGSSSSSS
- chewie getting guilt tripped by the porgs ffffs that got a lot of laughs
- poe learning from his mistakes by the end aaaaaahhhhhhh yes good wonderful. finally a son leia can be proud of.
- fucking luke giving his force projection a makeover so he doesn’t look so scraggly. amazing. (honestly i would have done the same)
- hux just getting fucking trashed in this movie was amazing. toss that space nazi around good i love it
- they spent like 2 seconds together at the end but man rey and poe finally meeting has me shipping it lmao (though honestly poe can be shipped with fucking anyone it’s ridiculous)
- rose is cute. that sudden love thing with finn was not. where the fuck did that come from seriously?
- no but seriously that shit came out of left field. I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL JUST FRIENDS HERE BUT NO SUDDEN WEIRD AWKWARD PECK ON THE LIPS AND LOVE GETTING TOSSED AROUND???
- finn and rey hugging tho aahhhh my skin is clear my crops are flourishing
- “the force isn’t about lifting rocks”. rey has to lift rocks at the end lmao
- honestly even tho i ain’t into kylo and the reylo thang, i did cheer with everyone else during that fight scene. it was a bad ass scene and i was thirsty for at least 2 force users fighting together.
- but of course kylo bitched out and went all WE WILL RULE THE GALAXY TOGETHER making anakin roll his eyes in the afterlife somewhere. dishonor on you! dishonor on your cow!
- leia giving up on ben ever coming back to the light. fantastic. great decision. focus on your son that isn’t a disappointment. i know moms got that unconditional love bullshit thing going on, but when your grown ass child fucks up that much, you gotta cut the cord and let ‘em flail on their own. if ben wants a redemption he’s gonna have to drag his own ass out of that hole he has now firmly planted himself in.
- but srsly tho reylo fans need to chill out. there’s still another movie to go y’all need to pace yourselves lmao. that 3rd movie is another 2 hours of potential for kylo to make more of an ass of himself.
- in general just don’t go too hard on ships, especially with ongoing series. turns everyone into nasty litlte gremlins and it’s just not a good time
- ugggggh that big explosion when holdo fucking sliced through the first order’s ship aaahhhh. i was afraid you’d be some fuckin’ FO mole or some shit but you ended up a good one that we didn’t deserve, holdo.

“Cause when the seaweed, sinks, and the sun gets loooow~♪
When the waves, retire, into the darkness beloooow~♪”
It’s Morna, the main protagonist of Bunquest! She loves to sing! This is her in a much more detailed form. In the quest, her design is simplified for ease of drawing. If ya dunno what Bunquest is, it’s a quest I started over on TGChan! Click here to check it out! (And make sure to check the full image, Tumblr’s default post size makes it look... bad. @w@)

Friday update 3/24/17
Hi everyone! As you all probably have heard, this was kickstarter week. We launched on Monday.
And we are doing really well so far! You can find more details beloooow. That said, as far as actual development goes, I'm going to be honest and say it was a REALLY light week on that stuff. Launching a campaign is a massive amount of work and there just hasn't been much free time to focus on writing, art and coding.
Writing: I…did not do much writing this week. As you can imagine, kickstarter launch provided a massive distraction. That said, I actually did do a lot of editing in Corvin's route. I can't really focus on writing new things at the moment (but will get back into that next week). But I can definitely edit – and that is what I did.
I also had some lovely chats with people who will be working with us to add in some new minor characters. One is planned to appear in Ewan's route as a friend and fellow club member. He's going to be such a fun character. And all I am saying is…pink hair.
The other, as of now, will be appearing in multiple routes and is planned to be a worker at the café owned by Corvin's family. She fits really nicely into the plot of Changeling so I'm looking forward to writing her in.
Artwork: Worked a bit on sketching out another CG from Elliot's route – and also started working on a doodle of Nora.
Coding: I did actually do a fair bit of coding for the first chapter of Corvin's route (after having given it another edit. LoL). There is a chance we'll be bringing another person into the team soon to help with script coding, which is something I am looking forward to for sure.
Other: K.I.C.K.S.T.A.R.T.E.R.
That is the word of the week for sure! So if you haven't backed us there and are curious what's going on with the kickstarter, well, we are at 56% funded with 27 days to go. So that's pretty good!
We had one early bird tier that sold out before it expired – the other one sold about half the slots before it expired. Two people pledged high enough amounts to be able to design and insert plot significant side characters (which I mentioned above). Otherwise, we've had people pledging all over the place. It's pretty exciting to see that people are supportive of the project.
That said, we can always use more support to help us reach our goal. If you can back us, please consider doing so – every pledge is critical for helping us get funding. And if you can spread the word – please definitely do so.
I know a lot of our followers have been incredibly awesome about signal boosting already and we just want to let you know how much we appreciate that. It's a massive help – so thank you all so much!
I posted earlier, but here it is again – a lovely blogger posted a short review for both Changeling and another currently in kickstarter game. You can find it here: https://parttimestorier.tumblr.com/post/158781533863/two-kickstarters-to-keep-an-eye-on
Summary:  That's it. Kickstarter launched, ate our week, and has been really awesome. We're more than halfway there, but that means we still have a halfway to go. With 27 days left, our chances of funding are looking pretty good. But we definitely need to keep spreading the word.
It's been a tiring week and I'm looking forward to the weekend, for sure. (Not that I stop working on the weekends but whatever). LoL
I think that's it for now. Thank you to everyone for all the things!

@shebasqueen liked for a short starter!
Tumblr media
“Gyaaaahhh! Look out beloooow!!” Wouldn’t you know it, Milim had gotten tangled in the super cute long sash-thing she’d obtained just a half hour earlier. And of course she’d been in mid-flight when that happened, one wing somehow stuck in the cloth.
Flight with one wing was... not effective. Spiraling downwards, the best she could do was holler at the person nearest her landing point.
