Hi there. I’m going insane and it’s your fault. Like I discovered your absolute emotional masterpiece of a fanfic the other day and it’s all I think about anymore I’m so obsessed; I downloaded tumblr bc of you and I don’t really know how this site works but I do know how to click the ask button so that’s your problem now. I got words for you

First off: HOLy the writing and the voices are so good??? Like the characters say things the way their irl counterparts would say it? How?? Teach me your ways? Actually tho what did you do to learn to do that, is it innate, do you practice?

Second: “He wouldn’t have known the sight of Tango’s pale skin flushing bright red all the way down his chest.” That sentence just kinda stuck out to me from the last chapter… for some reason... anyways (idk what my point is here but it sure has got me thinking thoughts :P )

Third: I said I was obsessed, and I think it was an understatement. I didn’t study for my chem final because of this (still got an A tho so dw) and I went to bed for three days straight thinking about it and I woke up every morning thinking about it. (It took a solid hour to snap myself out of it when I actually needed to get work done lol) And on the plane ride home for break I drew some things so I’ll just leave these here if you don’t mind (umm ignore the tango faces on the first page and his left hand on the second, there's something Wrong™ about them I gotta practice, ok?)

idk if the formatting is good or whatever but here they are

As you can see I love love love the scene after the nightmare. If I remember correctly, Tango started wearing the gloves to protect his claws so they could heal after he escaped, and then when Jimmy gets hurt he just instinctively gives them to him?? Hello, the symbolism??? Tango just surrenders his own protection, both physically, because he would rather protect Jimmy, but also emotionally bc it immediately reveals what he considers a flaw in himself, monstrous, hideous. And Jimmy sees him throw the walls up again, “He quickly shoves the gloves at Jimmy, moving to get up. “I’ll uh, I’ll get another pair tomorrow-”” but Jimmy won’t let him, instead looks at what could be considered Tango’s entire soul —his trauma, his Hels origin, the feral, blaze side of him, the side that lies and hides and lashes out at any who get too close, the “ugliest” parts of him —and loves him despite it? Even sees the beauty in him? Yea, no, I’m normal about that—

Anyways idk how long these things are supposed to be but I have a couple more thoughts so you’re still stuck with me. Ummm let’s see… I adore your impulse design. So I’m taking that, thanks. (If that’s ok) also was thinking about how Jimmy would wear shirts with the wings getting in the way (see bottom of 2nd pic), and then thought maybe that’s why he’s so good at embroidery or sewing in general, cuz he has to make custom clothes. And then I thought what if he made some *cough* outfits and had Tango judge them… or asked for help putting on/taking off a particularly difficult shirt... haven’t had time to draw that yet but ya know… one day. Aaaaand the blaze rods could theoretically make a pretty cool fire crown when Tango's angry, also blazes do damage when you touch them, but I don't think you get set on fire? So it must be the blaze rods themselves doing damage, so I imagine when Tango's fighting they swirl around him both to attack whoever gets too close and to block any incoming projectiles (see middle left of 1st pic). +gradients on the blaze rods :]

Last thing, I showed my sister the fic last night and she’s already read through it twice so you’ve infected two of us. We were theorizing on what’ll happen next chapter. We both think that the others will piece together, to some extent, Tango’s backstory before they figure out how to remove the collar, what with the cuffs he wears, the comments Atlas made about a farm, Atlas’s mentioning about using Jimmy that way for his feathers, etc etc. and the comment that Tango can hear everything? Yea, no, when that collar comes off he’s gonna be distraught, I’m wagering that everything immediately bursts into flames around him or something (cuz that’d be cool). I think he'll probably try to run away, too, but we'll see

Anyways, that’s not all my thoughts but this is getting pretty long, so maybe I’ll send another ask later if that’s alright. Have a good day! Post again soon! Please. Please I'm begging you. For my sanity plea-

(actually tho take ur time. quality is worth it, and this is nothing but quality)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg welcome. this was genuinely SUCH a lovely ask to read, but i wanna take the time to properly answer it so i’m gonna continue under the cut cause boy can i ramble

first off: HELLO, you got a tumblr bc of HTP?? incredible. i’m honored that this gay angsty little block man au was your introduction to the hellsite (affectionate). and don’t worry, i welcome asks no matter the length (tho i might not get to everything in a timely manner)

second of all: i’m SO happy you enjoyed my character voices. that’s definitely something that’s taken a bit of practice, especially for more understated characters that don’t have super obvious or unique vocal traits/vernaculars. i find it helpful to a) have spent a decent amount of time watching the source material and b) always go over my dialogue with the character’s voice in my mind, and see if it sounds like something they’d actually say. ofc, sometimes liberties can be taken based on the plot/setting of a fic but generally i spend a lot of time and effort on getting character voices right, so i appreciate the appreciation <3

thirdly: i like that particular sentence too ;0

fourth: THAT ART THO??? oh man. impulse looks amazing (i’ve always loved demon!impulse and gotta credit @lunarcrown for bringing that vision to life 💃) and the wings are SO well done, like you conveyed that leathery thin bat skin texture perfectly. the various tangos are SICK, i luuuuv seeing him in full blaze rage mode, using those blaze rods to their full effect. and those hands… goddamn. not only do i respect the hand anatomy but the ROSES… the shackles and their metallic texture… the gradient on tango’s claws… chef’s kiss 💋👌 and THANK YOUUU the post-nightmare scene was one of my favorites from that chapter, and you’ve summed it up beautifully.

moving on: as with all of lunar’s designs, she’s happy to inspire so BEHOLD, DEMON IMPULSE UPON YE (that’s a yes from both of us LOL) i love ur idea about jimmy making custom shirts to work around his wings, that’s one of those little details i never put much thought into but it fits so nicely with him being into embroidery. so jimmy def makes a lot of his own clothes (and occasionally some for tango), co-signed and approved. and ur on the right track about tango’s blaze rods- most of his defensive fire comes directly from them, doing that crazy swirly fireball thing that actual blaze do, but he does also have the ability to produce fire from his hands, he just doesn’t do it often. it takes a bit more concentration and practice, and he spent so long trying not to use his abilities that it doesn’t come second nature to him anymore. he was way more of a fire starter as a kid in hels.

last but not least: AWW it’s so sweet u got ur sister into the au (lord knows i’ve dragged mine into many a fandom 😂) glad y’all enjoyed it so much, AND now u have someone to theorize with 👀 i won’t say anything more on the matter other than i hope to get the next chapter out over the next couple weeks, so stay tuned…

#hels to pay au #HTP ask #HTP gift art #seriously thanks so much for sending this in i loved reading it

MyHouse.Wad: What a fucking trip

Just finished MyHouse.wad. And goddamn, just goddamn. First of all, it is a fucking fantastic game let alone considering it's a free mod, easily on par with the original doom in terms of quality.

My overall impression is that this is a type of game that could ONLY come out as a mod. I mean, can you imagine say the next Call of Duty game where you can beat the whole thing as normal, but if you dig deeper it has a whole separate game exploring an endless house?

That all being said, two main gripes

The final fight was waaay too large/long, and if it was half the size it would be twice as impactful imo.

Ending is somewhat underwhelming, although that's somewhat inevitable since it's not going to straight up tell you what happens.

Oh yeah and 3) The labyrinth.

I love the idea of the labyrinth, however wish it was developed slightly more. I don't want there to be any enemies, but maybe a scrap of story or flavor would've been warmly welcomed. As is it's completely optional and you can't do anything apart from leave. However, it is indeed very unnerving (loved the touch of having the doors you open while inside being louder than average when they close by themselves).

Oh yeah, plus the blood appearing in the airport's bathroom did feel a bit janky/random and somewhat frustrating to trigger.

But in general it's all in the spirit of what it is trying to accomplish, and it absolutely excels in making you feel on edge, like the House is trying to get you to leave while drawing you in further and further.

But, you may be asking, what about the central mystery? What the heck is MyHouse.wad about anyway??

So, I won't rehash the exact wording (you can find that online easily enough), but to put it simply the creator of the mod is allegedly brushing up an old .wad file found in the floppy disc of a deceased childhood friend, and a journal as a word document plus some photos are attached to the mod when you download it.

Reading over the journal, a few odd section stuck out to me. He mentions that an old childhood friend passed away, and yet the very next day he writes "I never imagined that I would be saying goodbye to my friend so soon." Not something you would say about someone you only knew when you were a child, and hadn't been in contact with for years.

He starts working to restore and add things to the .wad he found. Over time, he becomes increasingly obsessed with it and it starts to affect his dreams.

He dreams about a house burning down, and finding a still born baby in the attic, of being hunted and finding refuge in a cave...

Something *very* strange happens on Dec 16. He seems to revert to a childhood persona, writing "it'll be nice to have some time away from the school", despite mentioning his job earlier, and "i'm sure they'll be a lot of fun and there wilL be plenty of laughter and good times". The day after he makes a comment about lack of sleep.

He dreams more. He dreams his reflection winks back at him, that he enters his bathroom mirror and finds comfort in that strange world.

He dreams he is in a car crash, then a plane crash. He survives the car crash. He does not survive the plane crash.

Valentines day: "Happy Valentines day to the only person I ever loved. For a short time, you brought a little happiness to this painful existence called life. I hope we can be together again one day. In the meantime… I’ll keep looking for that other someone who can be the ray of light in my life that you turned out to be."

He mentions how "After 13 years" he finally has the skills to finish the map, despite him mentioning he worked on it first 20 years ago with his childhood friend, according to the original description for the .wad.

He writes how the map is altering code by itself, growing when he's not looking;

"Without my guiding hand, the map doesn’t know what to build. But I can help it. Guide it. It seems to respond to my designs, changing them to match my emotional state. It knows what I’m feeling. It knows how Thomas felt."

He dreams of lying on a beach, safe and content, only to realize it is all fake. He writes about the agony of a heaven, and eternally being tormented by your own anguish, and how lucky his winking self is, to live a mortal life on a real beach, finding happiness in the small things he can control.

He finally publishes the mod, with no further entries apart from how he managed to publish a "safe" version. He won't allow the House to corrupt anyone else.

So, what to make of it all.

First and obviously, he clearly knew his childhood friend a lot more recently than his childhood, and the Valentine's Day strongly supports the fact they were partners - however, I do think they weren't in contact for at least a few years before his friend died. The "13 years ago" comment, plus the fact that items in the mod state "It was not to be" when picked up suggest that they were together for a time after, but then broke up. Both the crash and plane crash suggest something went wrong - maybe they fought, maybe there was an actual physical action - who knows. The airport section of the map further suggests that perhaps one or both of them traveled away from where they grew up? Moreover, the creator's comments about a "mirror version, happy on that other beach" suggests that maybe he made a mistake, and he's tormented knowing in another universe he could have been happy with his partner.

During the Brutalist area of the mod, you find two dogs - one completely harmless, the other a two headed monster that can kill you relatively easily if you aren't careful. But if you kill one, the other dies as well. Similarly, they can never meet each other. That could be a metaphor for their relationship - they couldn't be together, but couldn't bear being apart either.

However, there is of course a far darker possibility. A few items in the mod tell you "I want pop", and "The boy deserves a milkshake." This suggests a father-son relationship of some kind. Indeed, the very first area outside the house itself is a nursery for very young children, suggesting at some point he and his childhood friend adopted a child at some point. However, the fact that the house can burn down at some point, plus the constant dreams of disaster and the stillborn child could point to the fact that the child died somehow, possibly in a violent manner. If this is true, this would explain why they broke up, and why the original creator buried the memory - it was simply too traumatic to think about, until the death of his former partner forced these memories up to the surface, leading to him creating this mod as a coping mechanism. His comments about dealing with his own thoughts for eternity also suggest this - he could not bear to think about what had happened over and over and over again without being able to change anything.

The constant use of mirrors within the mod also tells us how much he wishes things had turned out differently - how he wants to live in a different dimension altogether, where this didn't happen, where he remained with his partner. The fact that if you leave the house without grabbing all the items might suggest they also sold (and potentially demolished) the house itself.

The house that can never leave his mind.

I sent an email to my professor and an email to the uni support! There’s still some stuff I’m insecure about but at least I did some scary things (well, scary if you’re me. It’s not actually scary. Wah.)

Anyway, the reward will be a trip across the border to France to go shopping in a French supermarket just because I recently mentioned sweets that we got the last time we went shopping in France (maybe 2 or 3 years ago? Longer probably, this was pre-pandemic I’m pretty sure) and my parents jumped at the opportunity to go shopping in France again X’D I’m tagging along even though it means I’ll also have to join them looking at planes. I should probably download a fic to read.

Anyway, out of work early, big tasks done, thank you everyone who gave me advice on my anxiety questions yesterday! ♥♥

Hi, Sitp! Sorry to bother you with tech-adjacent questions, but I thought you might know or be able to direct me to someone who would know the answer to my question.

I usually read fic on the Archive, but I'm going to be without internet for a while and wanted to download my favorite fics to read in the interim. Should I download a PDF? An e-pub file? Is there a way I can put those files on my phone to read them? Maybe an app or something? (I have an iphone). I'm just very un-techy and very unsure where to start (and I don't wanna do something wrong and put files I can't find on my phone or break something!!). Do you have any recommendations on where to start (or maybe who to ask if you don't know/don't have the spoons to advise at present). Regardless, I hope you're doing well! :)

Hi anon! From one tech noob to another I don’t know how helpful my advice will be so let me apologize in advance 🤣 I can only speak from my limited experience (I download tons of fics before a trip and don’t even open my phone at the plane lol) but anyhoo, I usually download fics in the PDF format and save them on the files folder for easy access (I got an iPhone too):

I’ve never tried other formats but I’ll be happy to hear others’ thoughts and tips on this!

TGIWednesday: Sounds like I should pack my overnight bag

TGIWednesday News

Ok, I’ll admit I’ve been home a lot lately between all we have going on. I’m not saying I've gone full blown agraphobic just yet (fear of crowds), but if I have an internet connection, a phone and a physical address, seems like most people and things I want to see wind up at my door. My girlfriend said the other day, “We’re going to Walmart” and I was like “Uh, why...when they deliver right to the front door?” and she said, “Because we need to get out of the house and go for a ride. And we’re going to stop at Subway sandwich shop and order their salads, go to the car wash, maybe even the Dollar Tree store and browse if we don’t run out of time.” I looked at her like I saw a ghost, “What’s next a rave? Sounds like you better pack my overnight bag!” We both fought back laughter through wide smiles. When’s the last time YOU got out of the house? Went to some sort of festival or gathering? How about a drive in the country or by the sea? The forrest? A park? Any opportunity to get grounded in nature, de-stress and becoming more heart-centered can redirect your energy and your life.

When is the last time we spoke? If it’s been too long, get on my schedule as soon as possible! If you just need a quick tune-up from anywhere in the world... Appointments View Calendar First, Then Pay and Schedule 15 mins | 30 mins | 60 mins “I’ll meet you in the field” Rumi said. The field of infinite possibility, physics and play.

TGIWednesday Download

~ THE INFINITE FIELD OF PLAY ~ I believe, think, know and feel that I can meet Spirit in the field of play where all things are possible, fun, wavy and free. I know, when, where, how and why to call upon Spirit to bring in new opportunities to play, and in so doing,my center presents itself where all things can change I am ready, willing and able to take initiative, to get moving and to try new things in an effort to redirect my overthinking into play and letting go. I am asking in all languages, throughout all time lines and so it is. Know that making a little daily progress will allow the rest of your life to be the best of your life!

On Deck... What is Life Force Energy?

We’ve done a ton of fishing on word tracks, affirmations and clearing negative and downloading more positive and - oh my goodness - what amazing effects we’ve seen and experienced! But what about numbers? Numbers you ask?... Yes numbers! Sitting next to someone on a plane who does not speak or understand your language - if you write down 2 + 2 = ___ they will write down 4.

Everything can be broken down into the language of numbers and those numbers measure Life Force Energy - positive vs negative, flow vs block. So what Spirit came up with and gave to me to give to you, along with the concept of fishing, is to use numbers as a percentage of strength or weakness. How weak are your eyes from 0-100%? Let’s erase those blocks. Are there blocks in your finances? If so, on a scale of 0-100% what’s the percentage of the block or the flow? How about being chosen for a new job? Or whether we’ll have a baby or not? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the percentage of probability? We can change them! We’re going to simplify and show you how to get even MORE results out of your fishing and show you how to DECREASE taking on blocks and INCREASE your energetic flow. We will address with finger muscle testing, pendulums and of course standing sway testing. Stay tuned for this ingenious way to get even more results and amazing outcomes! It will be in our new Masterclasses Training Center taught in written, audio and video lessons.

From the Fish Box

I have been seeing Jimmy now for 5 years and he has helped me tremendously. I have had blocks and was stagnant in life and after seeing him things started to change not only in my personal life but my health. Fast forward to 2021 my daughter was diagnosed with lupus and was in and out of the hospital. Her lupus was attacking her liver and kidneys and from her first major flare up had created cerosis of the liver . Almost A year went by with constant Dr.’s apps-6 specialists to be exact and continued monthly labs to monitor her and high doses of medications to calm her immune system. I took her to see Jimmy and within a month her labs started to level out to be better and better. She has been off of the strong medications now and in remission for a year! Her rheumatologist at her last appt said that it had been amazing that for as bad as her first flare up was that she has stayed in this zone with no further flare ups for this long. She said she doesn’t typically see this with her type of case and with all of the children she treats typically they are always back on the heavy medications within the first year. I continue to take my daughter to see Jimmy for regular tune-ups and she now asks to go and see him as well. I couldn’t thank him enough for all that he has done." - Christy / Florida

Today I’m going to tell you a story, a DnD story, about a character from some Faerun dnd books! A story of hubris, tragedy, but because it’s dnd also of the ultimate success. It’s the tale of how one man’s attempts to make an audio recording caused him to be erased from history, thrown into super jail, and eventually ascending to godhood. This is the story of Finder Wyvenspur, the most pretentious ridiculous bard to ever bard (yes as far as I can tell that is his given name).

Spoiler- this is pretty long.

So Finder, the bard from a noble bard family was a pretty good musician. So good that other bards and musician wanted to copy his music. Which he fucking hated, because everyone else wasn’t as good as him and that made him and his music look bad. So he decided to ensure everyone could hear his music how he wanted it to be heard. So began his journey to find a way to record his music, forever! Which everyone thought was a terrible idea, because apparently doing so with any known or possible magical means “could be dangerous” -presumably because the gods hate recorded music, idk.

But Finder would not be dissuaded by anything as silly as what some fucking nerd wizard said “was dangerous”. No! So he went and found a magic rock, the Finder’s Stone. And he used to it to record everything, all his songs, his ideas, his thoughts. Just would not stop recording stuff. But then he realized “actually this sucks. It doesn’t record things good enough. I need to find another way to record my music properly. I know! I’ll clone myself!” But he did keep the rock cuz it was still something, bht he could do better!

So he went to his lab, because he had an arcane lab as a rich noble bard with weird hobbies does, and made himself a clone and called him “Flattery Wyvenspur” -as he’s an egotistical jerk. Unfortunately Flattery was a new being, like a child, and imperfect as people (and especially children) are. Regrettably Finder, the asshole? was dissatisfied with his abilities. So… er, he tried to make Flattery learn better with corporeal punishment (aka abuse) which of course did not work. What it did do is turn Flattery, who while experiencing the world with the freshness of a child did have Finders mementoes and abilities, against Finder. And here’s the thing, just stay with me it’s not great but there will be some catharsis and justice for poor Flattery but it was as they say, a different time. So, back to the story, Flattery turns against Finder and tries to kill him and becomes evil. And also kills/injures some folks in the process. And then he stole all Finders stuff and escaped. Finder claims to everyone that his assistants and Flattery were killed/injured in an explosion, because he doesn’t want everyone to learn the terrible truth and have his reputation ruined. He forgot that people talk -and/or have divination and/or know gods.

Now, a bunch of the powerful people and wizards -including Elminster one of the if not the greatest wizards in Faerun and I can say things about Elminster but that’s not what this is about- learned about this and are like “WTF Finder, what the hell are you doing dude? Not cool.” So they put him on trial. These people -called the Harpers btw, just a little extra bit of info for y’all- find him guilty of many terrible crimes. Of these “terrible crimes” is specifically “his obsessive and fatal attempts to preserve his music, forever” (ok I added the forever bit). So they erase him and all his work from history and imprisoned him in a different plane of existence for good measure. Because fuck’im.

And so there he rotted for centuries. Until the evil wizard-ress, Cassana freed him and convinced him to join her and her evil allies to help them do evil. Together they all made an ageless clone of Cassana, Alias. They intending for Alias to be a mindless construct they could control -or possibly download Finder in, unclear on that bit- but instead accidentally made a whole ass new person (Maybe we’ll talk about her more another time, idk). And Finder was like “oh this is fucked, but also I love my new daughter and must protect her”. So he convinced one of his allies, a dinosaur-humanoid Paladin, to carry her to safety. Which pissed off Cassana, and she threw him in a prison cell enchanted to cause his mind to not work, in her dungeon. Her evil dungeon! Meanwhile Flattery died trying to steal a Wyvenspur heirloom. Anyway!

Eventually Finder was free! But the Harpers found out he was back and some shit had gone down and were like “wtf how did you get back and what are you doing?” And they put him on trial but were like “eh, you’re on parole? Don’t do that shit again.” (I think in this order). So he went off and had some adventures. Eventually he got wrapped up in this whole thing with the god of rot, who had been one of Cassan’s allies -I don’t recall what happened to her tho. He had to free some dinosaur people and his magic daughter, Alias, and just all sorts of adventure and trials. This all culminated in him fighting the god of rot and in that moment he looked back his life, and what a dick he’d been. He had that magic recording rock, and it was ultimately his most successful recording of himself and his accomplishments. It was also a powerful magical artifact even before his ownership and facing down the god of rot he decided to finally be a decent and selfless guy, so he sacrificed it and in doing so killed that god of rot and took his divine essence. And then, he became a hero and a demigod. Even the Harpers pardoned him, and I know you’re thinking “I mean he did become a god who wants that as an enemy.” But honestly lots of people in Faerun are like “Fuck that/those god/s” without a single fuck to give -not all but plenty. Gods have a lot to do, and somewhat limited time, and Edina people have other gods on their side so it can be a whole thing. But Finder was a pretty decent gif as gods go so it was alright. Also the god of rot sucked real hard.

So, that’s how the fucking self-observed bard Finder Wyvenspur learned to be a better person and got rewarded with being a Demi-god -which honestly the line between god and Demi-god is barely there so he gets the main benefits of god good like immortality, immense power, and mortal worshippers. Also technically he did earn it himself. Idk what the moral is but I do wonder, “is Faerun now more or less against recording devices?”

3d subtitler 32 bit download

#3D SUBTITLER 32 BIT DOWNLOAD FULL#

It's probably in the header of the 3D-planes, but currently BD3D2MK3D ignores it. But I have to understand when I must use drop time codes and when not. So, I guess that I have to compute that frame numbers using drop time codes. Then the depth is 7 in frames 49729 to 49782 (54 frames), and they are followed by a lot of 4s. If you examine the 3D-plane with an hex editor, you'll see that the depths are undefined from frame 38750 up to frame 49728. Maybe it takes the last (or next) valid depth encountered in the 3d-plane? Anyway, I'll have a look right now. I wonder why other programs assume a depth of 10 if all depths are undefined. It is not possible to change the depth of a specific subtitle when it is displayed, therefore BD3D2MK3D uses always the highest valid depth (not counting the undefined -0 values). Of course, when it finds only undefined depths, it cannot compute the right value, and assumes 0. When there are defined and undefined frames, BD3D2MK3D uses of course only the defined depths to compute the final depth. Some non-empty 3D-planes have some values with undefined depths, but normally they should be present only in frames without subtitles. Many BDs have 32 3D-planes, but most of them are made of undefined depths only, and are therefore deleted after their extraction, because they are totally useless. Normally, a subtitle depth is considered undefined if all depth values in the 3D-planes for the frames corresponding to the "window" have the value 0x80 (or -0 once translated into depth value). It's only when all that methods fail that it displays the little dialog.īTW, that dislog is also used when you click the button in Settings -> Automatic streams selection.

#3D SUBTITLER 32 BIT DOWNLOAD FULL#

And if it doesn't find the ISO language code in the file name, it searches also for the full name of the language (in English only), like in this example: subtitle_French.sup. For example, with this file name, it assumes French: ack_. And even in that case, BD3D2MK3D tries to find the language automatically with the file name. Therefore, the window should be displayed only for BD SUP conversions. Therefore, the window should not be opened.Īlso, BD3D2MK3D assumes that the language code present in a IDX or XML file is correct and doesn't ask you to confirm it. Normally, it is used only when the language is unknown, and when a BD is converted, the language is known, because it is retrieved from the MPLS by tsMuxeR. Can you confirm that you had that problem when doing a complete conversion of a BD to 3D (and not when converting a subtitle with the "Convert subtitle to 3D" tool) ? It is strange that you had that dialog when converting a BD. OK, I think I've fixed the bug of the language selection window behind the others. Sub #30 ("Let Sola have a hatchling.") is the one that gives a 0 from the tool but visual inspection suggests a 10 (or there-abouts) is more appropriate. To that end, I've uploaded the John Carter forced sub track and corresponding planes file. This would also fit in with most players given they don't even bother displaying a "soft" subtitle in the event you skip the first frame it's displayed, suggesting they don't give two hoots about what happens after that first frame. If you combine that with the behaviour of TotalMedia Theatre, which actually changes the depth while the sub is still displayed, I'm wondering if there's actually some kind of "rolling" depth - each subtitle is displayed at the depth last encountered before it goes up if a new depth wasn't set on the first frame. Setting the margin to 0 only affected Cars. The first two subtitles in Immortals are correctly set to 0, but Cars 2 has a 0 where a 14 should be and John Carter has a 0 where a 10 should be. Thing is that often seems to return a 0 output, where a 0 isn't necessarily correct when viewed from the original disc. Fairly obvious in function and the number following it indicates the number of frames the subtitle is visible for which don't have a defined depth. I've been running through the last of my movies with forced subs and occasionally I'll see a "UndefinedFrameDepths" in the XML. On a slightly different note, I've found another curiosity. It seems to be happier the second time around, though, and that includes simply hitting the "Convert subtitles to 3D." button again and dismissing the error. Basically it's not accepting any input aside from moving it around by dragging the title bar, and even while doing that it's behind the window for all the other settings. You might need to put up a bugfix for that one - when it comes up asking to select the language for the resulting generated 3D subtitles I'm having trouble interacting with the new little window.

Ok, my mental preparations for tomorrow. I just recieved e-mail with details of my departure. I’ll be leaving at 13:30 which is too soon for me. I hoped for a later but why wait, right.

So I have to remind myself few things. I am used to this.

I already went to croatia by bus once and I was ok. 5 yrs back or so.

I went to Sicily 4 yrs back and I already had anxiety at that time but in Sicily I managed that perfectly. Abd that was really stressfull since we traveled from city day by day in country we dont understand the language and where english wasnt usual and buses were everything but on time.

When I was in my teenage years I went to netherlands with my uncle by car. There and back.

I went to england just by myself. Flying in plane without having friend with me and was in england like that for a month. And what is more surprising I enjoyed it so much I was crying when leaving. A little. Because I felt special being there? Because I was goung back to reality?

I was in germany for s month. It sas quite close to czech but I was there completely alone and to be honest I was counting days til I leave. But I managed that.

When I was only 16 I went to Ireland for a month first time without family for such a long time. And I loved every second of it.

I KNOW I CAN DO IT. I know I can even enjoy it if I want to. Everything is just in my head. I AM STRONG. I AM the freaking leader in most situations.

I love sea. The air, waves, the smell (food). I will be fine.

My friend with social anxiety who was afraid of going out just by herself to buy food just told me that yesterday she came home and realized she need something to drink and bread and that she just went without thinking. On her way she realized that she did it she just walked put of her apartment without thinking and stressing around.

That’s it. So simple.

It´s just some part of our brain that keeps holding us.

After I’ll come back I will be so much stronger. I think that after I’ll manage this trip I wont let my anxiety hold me back no more. I will be back completely.

Maybe it’s the whole plan after all. I thought this year will be the one where I will make it. Where I will get rich and succesfull. It seems like that in december. And january. But I guess you cant be succesfull when you keep your demons instead and you are afraid to step up. A d that is probubly why this year is supposed to be about building myself. Finding myself and letting go all of my fears. That’s why I was waking up every morning to spend half an hour comuting to school to “my” ukrainian kids. That’s why made a new identity and realite that now I’m building myself as a real mature persona. Without past that should bother me.

I’m not sure whether it was coco chanel or marilyn monroe (and im not going to search niw) who said sonething about girl cutting her hair and changing something. It couldnt be more true.

I was with kids for almost a week in mountains. My first big step. And I was perfectly fine.

Now this is the last test I’m going through after that I will be free and strong.

My plan:

CBD since morning, I will be bathing in cbd probably if i have to

Work - i will do all the things I need to get dobe and dont have time for them

I already made a playlist of music that U’ve been listening to before and make me feel good. Rocknroll baby.

I will draw john lennon (and some fashion sketches?)

I will download audiobook or something I can try to sleep to.

I will be chatting with eva and some friends

I will write

I will contact Vero - I just thought about it while writinf this- i want to be friend with her and I can lead really meaningfuľ concentration (and feel something else

I will be friendly -probably start conversation with others on the bus from the vegan group so we can get to know each other.

Utilize long flights or trains to reach your workplace by watching video podcasts and taking part in training seminars that are open to the public.

This article is all about how to increase the efficiency of your time. I like to spend my time, just like everybody else. Sometimes , I love to watch the TV and play games for hours or weeks in a row. Sometimes I'm just looking to work, weeks, maybe months straight and I do my job. However, I always find time to waste some time.. I love to add interesting articles like chocolates or gummies to my TV watching. It's fun! I waste my time as if there's never tomorrow. There is always tomorrow so I'm always on the move for work. I oversee sensitive software used for accounting in 490 of 500 Fortune Companies, or whatever the name is for that list. In any case I'll admit it, big city overwhelms me. I'm not able to stay longer than two days at a stretch which is why I travel to the suburbs which are 3 hours away. It's 1.5 hours from the capital city of another state, however I go twice as far from my city of choice. This is why I commute to it via car or train or have someone else drive me there. Long distance chauffers can really help. It's not always easy to find top-ranked businesses in the major cities. I also fly a lot to work. I also love to train. It's not an easy job. Sometimes I'm picked up by private jets, wait time is usually shorter to get on the jets. The 500 do appreciate my talent and they pamper me occasionally.

But I'm not wasting my time doing so, despite the long hours and perhaps even total days of travel every week. Games on handheld consoles, or watching TV on my laptop (or the supplied 65 inch screen if I'm in an private flight) will consume half of my time on the plane. I carry videos on my trip but I usually download them from Youtube. If I attend seminars or DIY videos I'm looking for include something that I'll need to watch while watching the lesson later - I save the video's mp4 files to my laptop, but occasionally, videos don't need pictures, and so I convert them to mp3 to listen to via my phone. This online Youtube to mp3 converter app provides clear audio with high quality for any tutorial video or class I am interested in. I can then listen to the audio as podcast. It's not uncommon for me to to go back to the first video if I am having trouble comprehending the message, but this is not often. While DIY videos are great to add to my laptop's memory but there are some I need to watch. ASMR videos can be converted to mp3 to be listened to with great headphones. I've downloaded an mp3 with cat purring. soundcloud downloader android It brought me goosebumps. It calms me down, I think something in the sound makes me accept resonate and come to understanding of the way of the world as I am ASMRing. I don't like hearing people talk however, I do like cats that purr and lick and those sounds really enthral me. I like to listen to the voice recordings of my cat as I drive to home in my private vehicle. ASMR could wake you up in a different manner, so make sure to not listen to it while you travel. Youtube offers a variety of seminars and lectures covering various topics. It also offers recordings of DJ sets live of electronic music festivals. Because I love to watch these on planes they are often saved in video MP4 files. Internet access is often unreliable or not accessible, so I don't have to wait. I just download and convert to MP3 or video from home via WiFi. I've downloaded whole sessions of popular DJs for me to listen to during my flight. I like older generations sound from the UK - tech-house, techno breaks, garage, breaks, jungle. These are the top dance music artists who have made the rest of the world love it.

TomTom the Minotaur, Pt. 1

Minotaur man with human woman, vaginal fingering

When attempting to traverse an eldritch forest hell bent on leading you astray, it's vital to hire a guide with an excellent sense of direction. It's less vital that he be charming and sexy, but it sure helps pass the time.

“Worth every penny.” That's what his reviews say.

Seeing him in person, I feel less anxious about the journey ahead. Tall and broad, his skin a gorgeous dark brown speckled over in white freckles like stars, horns gleaming and wickedly curved and broad as his shoulders. He'd be intimidating if it wasn't for the kindness of his face. He's damn handsome, but that's not why I hired him. Well, not the only reason.

His mouth curves in an easy smile as I approach. He looks down at me as he finishes rolling the sleeves of his plaid button-down up, revealing the sculpted muscles of his massive forearms. “You must be Stella.”

I shake his hand, my own completely swallowed in his, though his grip is gentle and warm. “Yes, and you're Tom?”

“Yes, ma'am. Your email said this is your first time crossing the Briarwood?” he asks, friendly brown eyes crinkled at the corners in polite curiosity.

“It is, and I'm pretty nervous about it actually.” I admit.

“Understandable, it's a very disorienting place, especially for humans. I'll get you through it, don't you worry. My family has been guiding people through for generations, I practically grew up in there. I've never lost a traveler.”

His confidence is earned; he's legendary even among guides and has the rating to prove it on NaviGate. His services have the price tag to match. Too many people try to cross on their own, or turn to disreputable-but-cheap “guides” who most likely ditch their charges and pocket the money. Disappearances are commonplace. I don't want that to be me.

“I'm counting on your reputation's accuracy, TomTom.” I smirk.

“Are they still calling me that?” he grimaces, one hand rubbing the back of his neck(and putting his glorious biceps on display). “Embarrassing nicknames aside, I don't want you to worry. I'm taking you the safest way though the woods. It's the slowest route, but we won't run into trouble. Should be very boring.”

“Boring is good! I've got all my gear,” I gesture with my head to the large camping backpack I'm sporting. “I'm trying to just think of it as a long camping trip.”

“That's good, that's basically what it is. We're not getting anywhere near any settlements or dens in there, we shouldn't see anyone else the whole time. I hope you brought something to keep you entertained.”

“I've got a bunch of digital books and podcasts downloaded, and a solar battery. And a couple print books.”

“Good call, sometimes the sun doesn't break through the canopy for a few days.” Tom hefts his own massive pack onto his back, hooking his thumbs into the straps. “Shall we?”

I follow him as we take our first steps onto the trailhead that, with his help, should deliver me safely through the Briarwoods, one month from now.

“I kinda expected it to be more...creepy in here.” I say.

Tom chuckles. “Yeah, I hear that a lot. I think it would actually be less sinister if it did look more creepy and dark and gloomy. It's not just that the path shifts and changes, it's that the forest tries to distract you as well as disorient. Like...look up ahead there.”

He points off to the left, up along the trail, to a meadow of golden grass waving in a gentle breeze. The edges of the meadow disappear into a grove of quaking aspen trees, leaves shimmering like golden coins as they catch the light. Suddenly, the whisper of wings reaches me as hundreds of iridescent green butterflies rise from the meadow in a dazzling display of color.

“...Wow.” I breathe.

“Yeah. It's pretty. And absolutely a trap. You set one foot in there, you'll be asleep in seconds.”

I peek into the grass as we pass the meadow, making sure to keep my feet well within the trail. I see bones poking out of the dark earth, and a sunbleached skull staring eyeless at the sky. With a shudder, I turn back to Tom.

The first week of our journey is pretty straightforward. He points out the forest's traps and lures to me. After one incident where I nearly wandered off, following some windswept notes of birdsong(“That wasn't a bird...” he warns), Tom takes to holding my hand as we walk through particularly dangerous stretches of the trail. I certainly don't mind. At night he sleeps in front of the entrance to our shared tent, to keep me from wandering off without waking him. When it happens, he turns me back to my sleeping bag and gently hushes me until I lay back down and sleep. And then teases me mercilessly in the morning.

“If you're so keen on a night stroll, just wake me up, I'd be happy to keep you company.” he winks.

“It's not my fault! It's the damn sirens!” I laugh.

“They're not really sirens.” Tom says. “It's just the forest trying to trick you.”

We're sharing a meal during a lunch rest in a rather lovely spot next to a river. The sun has actually made an appearance today, so I have my solar charger out.

“What's the scariest thing you've ever encountered in the forest?” I ask.

Tom is very still for a while, brow furrowed as he considers his answer. “I think...the scariest times are when the forest has gotten to know you, and it knows what you're afraid of, and it uses that against you.”

He says this very quietly, with the manner of someone who speaks from experience. I don't pry further.

The river is safe, he says, and clear. We take the opportunity to wash clothes and refill canteens.

“Do we have to get back on the trail, or can I wash? I feel pretty grimy...”

“You set the pace, Stella, I'm just here to keep you out of trouble.” he grins. “I wouldn't mind getting clean either. You go ahead first, I'll keep my back to the water, and you just keep talking to me so I know you're alright.”

“Such a gentleman, respecting my modesty.” I tease. I peel off my trail clothes from that morning and give them a quick wash, hanging them up to dry on the line with the other clothes, while I chat with Tom's back. The water is cold and bracing, but invigorating.

“It'll be a few days before we come across another safe water source.” Tom says. “There's a spring we should run into tomorrow but you can absolutely not touch it.”

I drag my nails through my hair, raking the dirt and debris out of it before rinsing it in the river. “Is it cursed? Haunted?”

“It's a mouth.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah.”

I dry off with the superabsorbent camping towel I bought for this trip, slip on my pajama shorts and a tshirt, and join Tom where he sits on a log. “Your turn!”

Tom stands and steps back over the log toward the river. I keep my back to him as he strips off his shirt, but my curiosity gets the better of me and I glance back over my shoulder. He bends down to take off his boots, and I take in the sight of his impressive backside straining the seams of his jeans. I'm lost in daydreams when he hooks his thumbs into the waistband of the jeans and pushes them down around his hips, taking his briefs with them. The lines of muscle in his back, the play of light and shadow over the planes and curves of his body are stunning. He bends down to remove the clothes and catches me staring, doing a double-take at my expression.

“Hey, what about my modesty?” he asks with a cheeky grin, one eyebrow lifted in challenge.

I whip my head back around, cheeks burning. “I'm sorry, that was...so inappropriate of me!”

He laughs, voice like warm caramel. “Minotaurs bathe communally, I'm not shy.”

I keep my eyes focused on my shoes. “I went to a minotaur-owned bathhouse in Alberta with my mom once.”

I cringe. Why did I feel the need to say that?

“Yeah? What did you think?” he asks.

“It was nice, I really loved the olive oil soaps.”

“I have some in my pack, can you fish one out for me?”

My mind short-circuits for a second. I dig through the pockets of Tom's pack until I find one of the small bars. When I turn to face Tom, my mouth goes dry.

He's standing hip-deep in the river, sunlight reflecting off the water and making his rich sable coat glisten. His head is tipped back, arms up as he arches his back, and it's obvious he's putting on a show for me. So I indulge myself, and let my eyes trail over his biceps, his horns, the thick corded muscles of his neck, rivulets of water dripping down his body. The firm planes of his abs ripple under the smooth skin that replaces the coat of his shoulders and back. Those white starry freckles splash here, too, and I follow their trail down to a thicker nest of hair where his hips meet the water.

When I manage to drag my eyes back up to his face, he's watching me with amusement.

“I love the way your skin pinks like that when you're embarrassed.” his voice is a deep rumble. He tips his head down to look at me, the gold rings in his ears and nose sparkling at me. “Or...maybe you're turned on, not embarrassed at all.”

Feeling bold, I wade into the river, not caring that my shorts and tee are now soaked and clinging to my skin. From the way Tom is staring, he doesn't care either. I hold out the soap.

“Did you need this?”

“Thanks.” he plucks the soap from my hand, lathers it up, and begins working the suds over his chest, never breaking eye contact. “Your clothes are all wet, Stella. You should hang them up to dry.”

I consider the implications for a moment, before deliberately turning away and wading back to the shore, acutely aware of my clothes clinging to the curves of my ass, my breasts. I peel them off, bending at the waist with my ass directed Tom's way, and I'm rewarded with his deep rumble of approval. Straightening, I wring the clothes out and hang them on the line, glancing over my shoulder at Tom. He's washing his arms, flexing them more than is strictly necessary.

In for a penny, in for a pound...

I wade back out to him and hold my hand out for the soap. “Looks like you could use a hand?”

The smile he graces me with is wickedness incarnate. “Obliged, ma'am.”

I lather up the soap in my hands and move around him to his back, running my hands up along his spine and fanning them out over his shoulders, as high as I can reach. He makes a pleased sound, deep in his chest, as I massage the soap into his shoulders, where his coat is thicker. I use my nails to rake the soap through, gratified as his head tips back and he moans. Moving on, I scrub down his back, appreciating how hard his muscles feel under my hands. I palm his firm ass and he laughs over his shoulder at me.

“Enjoying the view?”

“Extremely so. Are you typically so hands-on with your clients?” I ask.

“Are you this hands-on with all your guides?” he counters.

“Only when they're as gorgeous as you.”

“So not frequently then.” he says. I laugh at his brazen confidence, deserved though it is. “Here, let me.”

He gently turns me around and massages the soap into my back, his large hands feel heavenly as they work out the knots and soreness in my muscles from a week of sleeping on a camp cot. I moan and lean into his touch.

“I like that sound. I'd like to make you make it again.” he says, digging his thumb into a stubborn muscle. I moan louder, my knees nearly buckling. I can feel his cock hardening against my back. His voice is low and heavy with promise in my ear. “I'd like to do a lot of things, if you're interested...”

I reach up and take hold of his hands, pulling them around to my breasts. He kneads them, slippery with soap, thumbs brushing over my nipples until they peak.

He reaches one hand down below the water and brushes his fingers between my legs, a tentative questioning touch. I nod eagerly and spread my legs more to allow him access. Tom uses his other hand to guide my arms up around his neck, my back arched and pressed to his chest.

“Hold onto me.” he whispers as his fingers slip between my folds and find my clit. I whimper as he starts rubbing small, slow circles. His cock is hard and hot against my back as I buck my hips into his hand. His other hand reaches under my thigh to lift up my leg, spreading me further. “I've got you, I won't let you slip.”

I let go of his shoulders and grab onto his horns as he bends his head over me to kiss the top of my head. The finger on my clit pauses to push back the hood, then resumes its assault. The increased sensation has me crying out, emboldened by our solitude.

“Fuck, I'm so close, Tom...”

He slips a finger inside me, slowly working me open on his hand, then adds another. The stretch combined with the pressure on my clit is deliciously agonizing. I'm only dimly aware that I'm begging him to fuck me.

“Oh, you're not ready for that, Stella. Not yet.” he says, pumping his fingers in and out of me with deft turns of his wrist. “Need to work up to taking my cock, don't wanna hurt you.”

I whimper. “Please, I need more...”

Tom works his fingers deeper and faster, dragging them against the sweet spot inside me that has me seeing stars, and I come gasping. He slowly works me through it, whispering how good I feel spasming around his fingers, how he wishes it was his cock, how he wants to watch me ride him.

I'm limp as he lifts me out of the water and carries me back to the shore, the soap long forgotten and lost downriver. He balances me on one of his massive thighs as he digs in his pack for a towel to lay out, then lays me down on it.

“Wait, you didn't come.” I protest, reaching out for him.

“You can make it up to me later.” he winks. I watch him take down our dry clothes and the clothesline, pulling on his fresh clothes and boots. He brings me a change of clothes and helps me pull them on. “How're your muscles feeling?”

“They feel great.” I admit with a lazy smile. “You have some magic hands.”

“I look forward to showing you what else I can do.” Tom helps me shoulder my pack and we continue down the trail, away from the river's edge and into the deeper woods.

i was gonna draw tonight but i dropped my tablet pen and the barrel of the pen broke off and flew somewhere underneath (??) my bed (?) and now i cant find it so I’m just gonna answer asks before bed instead. just some art asks and more mentions of infinity train LOL

What program and brushes do you use when making your art?

@ravki hi! part of this is in my FAQ but i’ll say it again anyways LOL: I use photoshop CC and have used photoshop for pretty much....my whole art career. I’ve dabbled in clip and paint tool sai in the past but photoshop is my true wife, we eloped away from her awful father adobe many years ago and are very happy together.

as for brushes... I should prob put this info in my FAQ too lol,... my default brush set is actually free to download here! Tho I will say I also use steve ahn’s storyboarding brush sometimes and lately i’ve been using shiyoon kim’s brushes A TON. Shiyoon’s cost a couple bucks but they’re super worth it imo

How do you choose colors?

This is kind of a difficult one to describe from scratch but hmm.... I’ll put it this way. Generally when I go into coloring or painting something I already have some colors in mind. Like for a certain piece I know I want a bright green, or a magenta, or a dark blue in certain areas. A lot of the time I know a mood I want. So I’ll start with that core color tone and build around it. I’ll use an example from a recent piece

So you can see here that the first color I accessed was that bright cyan. So I start with that bright cyan and then bring in its “friends” in the form of analogous colors (shown below on the far left)

greens greys etc. THEN I know I want the characters to stand out against all the blue so I start laying down warm contrasting colors for them (middle group). the mat under them is orange, skin tones are warm, ryans flannel is red etc. then to get them to work together I work more cool colors into the shadows and slightly warmer (not too warm because its a cool img overall so in this case, greener LOL) colors into highlights.

hope that makes sense? for me choosing colors is a lot about story and composition. If you know what you want to say, the mood you want to create, where you want to go, the path to get there becomes a lot clearer imo.

Have you ever considered making an art book?

I have! But I don’t think I currently have enough...original illustrations for one LOL? Not that an art book has to be all original work but if I were putting fanart in an art book...at that point I’d just make a fanzine. I’m making more original work lately though so maybe this year....? Who knows. For now, I do have a sketchbook up on gumroad. Hoping to do one of those next year too.

Any tips for keeping background drawings from getting super stiff, especially since things like interiors have a lot of straight lines?

This is a really interesting ask. Really great question that I don’t think gets asked enough - forgive me if I get a bit art school here but I drew up some examples.

First I think we have to investigate the assumption that straight lines make things stiff. That seems true on an instinctual level and certainly proves to be true very often But I don’t think its actually the straight lines themselves but the sort of arrangements and compositions they tend to dictate. Take this for instance.

pretty big difference, right? there’s a couple things that make a composition feel stiff and one of the most significant is lines that are perpendicular and parallel to the frame. it feels locked in and solid, like bricks. but the moment you shift these angles even a little the composition instantly becomes more dynamic because our innate senses of weight, gravity, and directionality can sense movement.

But it’s not just diagonals let’s take this one step further

when lines meet and terminate together those tangents can flatten and lock space so the best way to solve this is with overlap and complete intersection, forms continuing past or behind each other feel more layered and less like a flat mosaic... again, even in the simplest line drawings. So how do we apply this to a background?

ok I drew this really fast so its potentially not the best example but I think the idea is there. This space isn’t even particularly deep, it’s basically a room, a doorway, and a hallway behind it, and we’re not seeing that much of any of those things LOL. but when you draw an environmental object like a doorway in a way that lines up with the perpendicular and parallel lines of the canvas you’re automatically flattening it and making it look rigid.

and when you create tangents with objects and characters you flatten the space around them and make it difficult to tell what is actually in front or behind or if they’re on the same plane.

GOD I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE. Anyways. avoid those things and you’ll instantly have less stiff bgs no matter what kind of bg you’re depicting.

I wanna mention however that this isn’t to say a stiff bg with flat space doesn’t have its purposes.

sometimes you want to create parallels and tangents. it can make characters feel closed in, trapped, regimented, part of a routine, etc. it’s also great for making a composition look ornamental (especially combined with symmetry).

directors like wes anderson can even use these compositional elements to make images feel uncanny or harrowing! its very versatile. I think the important thing is to just be aware of when you are making something rigid and when that’s the last thing you want to do. conscious choices.

Can you speak Tagalog?

@lemuelzero101 I can! BUT NOT VERY WELL LOL ;;; both my parents are from Visayas! but they met and had me in the states lol so I’m pretty American born and raised. We go back to visit family on occasion but not regularly. My tagalog is mostly absorbed from listening to relatives at parties lol and my parents speak bisaya at home so I’m marginally better at that. Sorry to any filipinos out there hoping I’d be better educated, I’m like a little baby...

I do love meeting and talking to other filipinos online though, I grew up in an area that was relatively diverse but the asian population was small and the filipino population basically non-existent. I was like one of maybe 2 filipino kids in my highschool of 2000.

Apart from infinity train what shows are you watching now? Have you seen jujitsu kaisen?

Man this is gonna sound so boring but I haven’t watched a lot of tv lately. It’s not really part of my daily routine. Let’s see... I was sort of watching Amphibia, Craig of the Creek, and the new Digimon Adventure 2020 but I keep falling off watching those for one reason or another. Also there’s a lot of episodes, it doesn’t feel like something I can just binge and be done with.

The last thing I binged was Succession. I want that show and Euphoria back so bad, when I’m done forcing all my friends to watch Infinity Train im cancelling my HBO subscription until Succession and Euphoria return so they know exactly what I’m on their list for LOL.

I have not watched jujitsu kaisen but I’ve kept up with some of the sakuga news (I keep up with anime industry news and production info like x5 the amt i keep up with actual anime) for it and their compositing/editing looks dope. I’ve read the manga actually LOL or at least part of the beginning. I wasn’t super keen on the whole finger eating thing. Also to be honest I kinda feel like its the new Bleach and I never particularly cared about Bleach. Characters look nice enough tho. I wholeheartedly support jjk fans.

Thank you! Thank you @keznodzieja! <3

And thank you anons who don’t watch infinity train LOL...it’s always nice to hear when people enjoy my fanart despite not knowing the source material because it lifts a little bit of the “oh god am I being annoying???” fear off my chest. But also I think you should watch infinity train because it’s really good I have no reservations recommending it.
