wip guessing game: food, light, green, alone
:) <3
When the phone rings, Eliot's just put food in the oven and started on the garlic butter. He picks up the phone - not his, a burner - and sets the knife on the side with a little twirl. "Everything go alright?"
"Pretty strange use for a favour," Eliot says, voice over-the-top light.
Quinn's teased him for being worried and let Eliot patch him up; let Parker leave a stuffed dinosaur with him for company (a hideous green with red spikes, name of Laila, originally assigned to Quinn when he was flat out with the flu for a week); bickered with Hardison while Hardison got him set up with a spare laptop and their netflix account.
Things shift, and Quinn sways, and from close enough to almost bring him to alert again a stranger says, "Hey, no, are you going back out alone?"

How bad would it be if I started making fanart for a mcyt series from ten years ago that probably no one remembers and neither of the people involved in it post minecraft content anymore 😬

I feel like the Google dinosaur, dodging obstacles, aimless, going on and on and on. In a disconnected endless wandering.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
With Seventeen
*this is not a representation of the members of svt irl. y/n race and character type will be pre-determined to allow for a better plot.
masterlist
relationships
Tumblr media
Y/N calls everyone (except Dino) 'Hyung' more often than 'Oppa' because it really sounds weird for her to use 'Oppa'
Tumblr media
Scoups
He babies her. If he had to pick a favourite member, it would be her (and Jeonghan)
She didn’t speak a word of Korean when she first stepped foot into the green room, so Scoups acted as her older brother
His parents “adopted” her as their daughter when she was unable to visit her family.
With Svt, Scoups is always in older brother mode. But with Y/N, he can act like a younger brother.
They are each others’ safe spaces.
Jeonghan
If Jeonghan is a Devil disguised as an Angel, Y/N is Sadako.
They are a menace of a duo. If you thought Jeongcheol was unstoppable in GOSE, JeongY/N is far worse.
Jeonghan openly cheats and Y/N manipulates the situation.
His cheeky nature rubbed off on her during their trainee days.
Jeonghan teases her a lot but also babies her. They have the most sibling-like relationship ever.
Being the only other member in Seventeen who can speak Japanese, Jeonghan makes Y/N feel less homesick.
Joshua
He was her source of comfort through every difficulty she faced as Svt’s only female member.
Joshua was one of the members she warmed up to the quickest. 
He helped her to feel more at home in a foreign country and tried his best to help with her Korean despite a huge language barrier.
Jun
He comforted her throughout their trainee days. Of all the members, he understood her pain of being homesick and leaving your whole family behind in another country.
Despite the initial language barrier, Y/N and Jun developed a very close bond. Carats initially thought that JunY/N were siblings due to their close nature.
JunY/N are extremely chaotic together (Mousebusters…)
Hoshi
Y/N admires him a lot for his professionalism. She’s impressed with how much time and energy he puts into choreographing so many of their performances and working in the studio at the same time while always being a mood lifter.
Likewise, Hoshi admires her for her hard work and dedication to Seventeen. 
Their relationship shines during GOSE episodes where Y/N can be seen either supporting him or completely irritated by him.
At some point, His contact name in her phone became “Furry”
Wonwoo
Gamer buddies!!
Y/N wasn’t the best student when she was studying. After school, she’d always go to arcades or internet cafes to play games.
That was how Wonwoo and Y/N bonded.
They have a very close relationship and can often be seen sleeping while leaning against each other.
Wonwoo reminds Y/N of her older brother, Masaharu.
Woozi
When they first got to know each other, Woozi began to teach her some producing knowledge. 
Now she can produce her own songs.
He taught her how to play the guitar and she’s 80% guaranteed to be in his producing studio whenever he goes live in it.
They are quite close and like to just be in each other’s presence.
Yes, they go to the gym together. Y/N may not look like it, but she’s a gym regular.
The8
They entered the company around the same time so of all the members, he (& Jun) understood her pain of being homesick and leaving your whole family behind in another country.
Yes, there was a huge language barrier, but they got past it as Y/N could understand some Chinese words.
They share many interests in Tea and Art, so they regularly have tea together and just enjoy each other’s presence.
When Y/N first entered Pledis, her style… wasn’t the best. After meeting The8, her style drastically improved. 
In interviews, she always says that she can only look that good because of The8.
Mingyu
Carats see them as a Visual Duo, despite Y/N not being officially labelled as a visual.
They are a very compatible duo with their appearance and overall vibe.
Y/N sometimes thinks that Mingyu acts younger than her. He’s often accidentally called her ‘Noona’.
They have a very unique bond which some may see as a servant and a princess. Mingyu ADORES Y/N like she’s his actual younger sister.
She doesn’t complain though.
DK
The Sun and the Moon
Carats can tell that with him, Y/N is brighter in terms of personality. 
DK was a gentleman around her while they were trainees, trying his best to make her feel comfortable around 13 guys. He definitely succeeded. 
He adores her and always tries to keep Y/N smiling. If he notices that she’s anxious or sad about something, he would do something funny to draw attention away from her and make her smile.
He’s a scaredy-cat while she’s barely afraid of anything. (she’s more scared of societal expectations/stress/failure). So in most of the scary GOSE episodes, DK can be seen cowering behind her.
Seungkwan
They are constantly battling over their song knowledge–or anything for that matter. In GOSE they always bicker. (But they still love each other ofc)
He always calls her ‘Noona’ to mock her even though she’s younger than him.
You can bet that they are a terrifying duo on game shows or on TV programmes.
They may bicker a lot, but Seungkwan really cares about her.
Vernon
They are like actual siblings.
They text like siblings.
At one point, all of Y/N’s photocards in an album looked the same because she copied Vernon’s poses.
They often write lyrics together and just hang out in general.
If she wants a midnight snack, her buddy will 100% be Vernon.
Dino
The only member to actually call her ‘Noona’.
She thinks it’s super cute.
Instead of being babied, she babies him. When he’s bullied/ganged up on in GOSE, she’s the first to defend or comfort him. (Especially in The Tag)
She’s probably slightly higher in rank than Wonwoo as Dino’s #1 Fan.
Most of his Danceology videos are filmed with her dancing or her in the background.
She’s his source of comfort and vice versa.
Whenever Dino talks about being bullied by his 12 hyungs, he’ll always add “But my 1 Noona protects me”
He’s developed a small crush on Y/N but he’ll never admit it.

make it a game
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yes, literally make all this manifesting stuff a game.
i think some of us put way too much pressure on manifesting our desires and the 3d results that it becomes stressful. some people even would go as far as to pause their responsibilities and tasks in life just for the sake of manifesting(aka neglecting the 3d and outer world).
yes, 4d and fulfilling inner world is important, u gotta do this do that blah blah blah, etc. but whatever u doing, stop making manifesting such a big stress. please focus on life and ur daily tasks and enjoying ur life and caring for urself
one way to make it less stressful is to treat manifesting like a game. because if it's a game, it would not be such a big deal if ur doing it right, if the 3d showing it, etc. it would not matter that much. you're just doing it for the fun and enjoyment.
for example, if im gonna manfiest bigger lips, and i decide that i'm gonna use robotic affirming as my way of manifesting it, i'll just make it a game by making my goal to just saturating my mind by affirming as many times as i can without wavering. i know u dont have to saturate ur mind to manifest but this is just an example i'm giving. and yes, robotic affirming and repetition works if u assume so. also repetition reprograms ur brain either way and makes it into an assumption BUT if u dont like affirming just replace that with however else u prefer to manifest. because you don't have to do anything its just whatever works for you y'know.
so in this case, i'll just focus on telling myself that "my lips are so big" over and over again without wavering aka persisting and dwelling in the new story and desired state. and if i start to get doubts or "negative" thoughts, i'll just not identify with those thoughts such as by letting them pass away without reacting to them, or by flipping them and just repeating affirmations. the goal is to affirm as many time as i can without giving up to the old story. i don't care about the 3d or whatever. i just care about the main goal of this game.
the point is to stay consistent. its completely fine to have negative thoughts. it's probably not gonna be natural at first bc if u first start out playing a game ur probably not a pro at it yet. but still don't give in. stand firm with the new story. don't waver back and forth. the mindset is very important. just keep persisting and keep the mental diet. keep returning to and dwelling in the desired state where your desire is already fulfilled.
it's kinda like that dino game when u have no internet. ur making ur score as high as u can. those cactuses thingys are bits of the old story and ur negative thoughts etc. but ur gonna jump over them by not wavering but being persistent in already being the person who has the desire. by fulfilling urself. whatever ur doing to do so, do it whether its repeating affirmations, etc. just do it and persist.
but yeah just play the game. the 3d don't play much of a role here. it's just some extra prize in the end of the game lmao.
once u keep playing this game, and become a pro at it, its gonna make an assumption and the assumption is persisted in. what happens when an assumption is persisted in? it hardens into fact !! so basically thats when it becomes more natural when you are now feeling fullfilled within and it cause the outside 3d to conform. and bam you got big lips without getting lip filler. congrats you beat the game 💞💞
so try this purely for fun, just for entertainment for whatever desire u wanna manifest and see what happens~

What games I think the ATVS cast has on their phones if you were to ask them:
Miles: Those paint by color games but also somehow Minecraft Java cause that’s how it is in his universe. Most intricate and beautiful pixel art known to man on those worlds but is dog shit at making them in the computer.
Rio: 2048 cause she thinks it stimulates the mind and wants to have something in common with Miles and thinks it’s improving her math skills. Also cut the rope cause the alien is cute.
Jefferson: Classic solitaire or Wordscapes. Goes to Miles constantly when he can’t figure out a word or move and brags about how Miles is for getting a word like Suspect.
Miguel: Every single candy crush, at the highest current level and logged into Facebook to save his streak. So much gold cause he never loses a level and one time he did he broke down and banned candy for a week.
Peter: The most obscure like bottom of the barrel game you see on those tik toks. Charge phone simulator or he literally turns the internet off and plays the Dino game cause he’s too poor to afford the gigs for game space.
Mayday: Those fake phones from Claire’s that play the little jingles but she drooled on it and shorted the battery so it just sound like the wails of the damned.
Gwen: Girl has PianoTiles un ironically and pirated geometry dash. She can play both with her eyes closed. Also that hairstyling game that she may or may not use to choose her next hair color.
Hobie: Doesn’t believe in phones due to governments stealing ur data and uses a cup and string he throws through a portal to talk to the others instead.
Pavitr: Cookie run kingdom but his kingdom has the most cluttered design to mimick Mumbattun. Worst team set ups of your life. Also one random virtual pet game that he takes way too seriously
Margo: Episode and Bitlife but she hacks Episode for diamonds cause she ain’t gonna have her characters act or look like raggedy bitches
Jess: Candy crush but not a freak like Miguel. Probably has Farm life too. Only plays them at night in bed like that one image of Peter Griffin

hi so i’ve been following you for a little (mostly because of dinosaurs and mechanisms) but i’ve been curious about this and don’t really know where else to ask, how do you find dinosaur references? i’ve been wanting to start drawing some dinos again but really have no idea where to go for references or inspiration.
my go-to's are skeletal references and 3d models!
for skeletals, the gold standard is scott hartman's. he's done sooo many and they're all very good- you can find them on his website here. https://www.skeletaldrawing.com/
Tumblr media
i do think his life reconstructions tend to be on the shrinkwrapped side, but his skeletals are great.
for skeletals, gregory s. paul is another great resource. if you can find a physical or digital copy of the princeton field guide to dinosaurs, it has skeletal references for a LOOOOT of dinos.
Tumblr media
greg paul's life reconstructions should also be taken with a grain of salt- shrinkwrapping and pronated hands abound. his taxonomy is also notably controversial (he's the lead author on that tyrannosaurus regina/rex/imperator paper from a while back..), so double-check the genus/species names you're referencing.
(he also has the princeton field guides to marine reptiles and pterosaurs, but i haven't read those so i can't comment. haven't heard great things about the pterosaurs one, though- if you want pterosaur references, go for pteros.com, pterosaur.net, and mark witton's "pterosaurs" book)
now for 3d models- skeletals are all well and good, but if you're not drawing a dinosaur from the side their usefulness can be limited. sketchfab is my go-to to find 3d reference. i look for skeletons/skulls from museums that have been digitized, mostly-
Tumblr media
but i'll also look for full reconstructions, just reference them in the same way you'd reference any other art piece (with care).
i also sometimes use the video games saurian and prehistoric kingdom? they both allow you to spin around the models of their animals, and their reconstructions are both super good.
lastly is to reference the work of other palaeoartists! this especially fits in for the inspiration part.
here's a few awesome palaeoartists around the internet (tyhank you to billymayslesbian for helping me put these together!)
mark witton
Tumblr media
fred wierum (aka fredthedinosaurman)
Tumblr media
john conway
Tumblr media
alphynix (here on tumblr under the same name)
Tumblr media
julio lacerda (this hatzegopteryx image is one of my favorite palaeoarts ever tbh)
Tumblr media
joschua knüppe (here on tumblr at knuppitalism-with-ue, i'm especially a fan of his work recreating classical paintings with extinct primates)
Tumblr media
and for more cartoony/styilized work:
miquel camiodraws
Tumblr media
johan egerkrans
Tumblr media
abby howard (here on tumblr at abby-howard)
Tumblr media
natalia jagielska
Tumblr media
greer stothers (here on tumblr at pangur-and-grim)
Tumblr media
nev (saint-nevermore here on tumblr, this picture is one of my favorite palaeoarts of all time)
Tumblr media
for some more books, check out all yesterdays by darren naish and john conway, which takes a highly speculative look at reconstructions of prehistoric animals, mostly dinosaurs.
also look at mark witton's the palaeoartist's handbook, which is exactly what it sounds like and i think could be VERY helpful for what you're looking for.

Tumblr media
so i may not be as much into fnaf now as i used to when i was younger but ive always been baffled that nobody has made a dinosaur themed fnaf fan game?? i may just be autistic for these sillies but i love the concept of it so much :D it makes sense for me because dinosaurs are popular with kids and popular in horror and irl there are a lot of dinosaur animatronics. so my concept here is that somewhere in utah fazbear entertainment collaborated with a fictional museum to make an educational dinosaur themed restaurant! also every dino robot is a species that can be found in utah! So first we have Utahraptor. It was made to show off more birdlike theories and was given a voicebox that can record voices to repeat them back like those toys that do it but due to being haunted can mimic voices. they slowly stalk the player and intentionally mess with them, toying with their prey. (this was made before the mimic lmao)
Tumblr media
Next is Camarasaurus! this animatronic is HUGE and in a kid's cove type area all to itself. because its so big the engineers only made its neck, head and tail robotic while its body is a plastic frame. At night it detaches its neck/head from its body and slithers through the vents. also here's a plushie of little dude!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next is Diabloceratops. this one is the most haunted and possibly possessed by a demon. its body moves in unnatural ways and it frequently will move with its limbs on backwards or upside down. it also has some kind of strange parasite type thing in it similar to ennard spaghetti. this design is probably my favorite and the one that freaks me out the most, inspired by the not-deer cryptid and demonic possession.
Tumblr media
And lastly the only withered animatronic, Akainacephalus ! :D they are inspired by slinky toys and poltergeists. this guy has a fnaf 2 puppet type role in the cast and sits right outside the office and doesn't move much unless its activated. i dont have much lore for them yet but i still love little dude! I also plan to add Ceratosaurus, Tenontosaurus, and Stegosaurus!
There is also Archie! He is an Archaeopteryx and the only member of the cast who is not found in Utah and is the education mascot of the museum :D he has an almost helpy like role and only shows up on posters, art, screens and as a plushie. :D
Tumblr media
I dont know if this game will ever come out but i wanted to share my concept somewhere on the internet :D

Close up Inspection Of Cody’s Belongings In The Pizza Pi Episode
There are some duplicates that make sense and others that don’t.
Downstairs:
Tumblr media
1. Comic books
2. Binoculars
3. Teddy bear, possibly in a police shirt.
4. Dinosaur stuffy
5. Rubber Ducky #1
6. Action figure
7. Books with a picture of a fire on the front, probably lad pioneer books.
8. Books with the Griffin Rock emblem.
9. Water tank (?) #1 & #2
10. Just books in general.
11. Tuba
12. Lantern. I thought there was a duplicate in the upstairs scene, but there is not.
13. Duck tape
14. Big Dice
15. Phone (?)
16. A couple newspapers
17. Soccer ball #1
18. Magician hat #1 (call back to the Bots and Robbers episode when he was the villain in his school play).
19. Baseball bat #1
20. Trumpet
21. Boombox #1
22. Robot and Dinosaur toys
23. Life vest and possible water safety books with it.
24. Basketball #1
Tumblr media
This is the zoom in, some stuff is moved around but the only things here that weren’t seeable in the wide shot are
25. Notebook #1?
26. What looks like an iPhone?
Upstairs:
Tumblr media
27. Cardboard Optimus Head
28. Med kit #1
29. Jacks
30. Fire Extinguisher #1
31. Magician hat #2
32. Rubber ducky #2. I realize now it autocorrected to runny in this pic, but I’m not changing it now.
33. Teddy bear, possibly in a police shirt #2
34. Moose Hat
35. Cup
36. Various Stuffies
37. Notebook #2?
38. Baseball #1
39. Baseball bat #2
40. Rocket toy #1
41. Rocket toy #2

43. Basketball #2
44. More books
45. Clothes
46. Rubber ducky #3
47. Pringles can? Back side of water bottle?
48. Baseball #2
49. Plant
50. Soccer ball #2
51. Duffel Bag
52. Foam Finger
There was a zoom in shot with Graham on the ground but there was no new stuff so I’ve left it out.
Tumblr media
53. Rackets
54. Cleats
Tumblr media
55. More clothes. Clothes everywhere. He’s a teenage boy though, c’mon.
56. More books
57. CD?
58. Soccer ball #3
49. Boombox #2
50. Med kit #2
51. Fire extinguisher #2
Tumblr media
52. Another book
53. Rubber ducky #4
Spitting thoughts out:
Lmao notice how there is stuff all over the downstairs and the upstairs hallways and staircases but he left the kitchen mostly clean? Same. Getting to food = important.
So it makes sense that they have multiple med kits and fire extinguishers because they’re a rescue family.
Cody seems to have a lot of dinosaur related little kid stuff so Dino kid confirmed.
He seems to be a big reader but Cody’s a smart kid so yeah we could’ve figured that. Also I bet Charlie has preached the need to get off the internet and do other things.
Makes sense that he has a lot of soccer balls because apparently it’s the family sport. Kade, Dani, and Graham have lots of soccer trophies. There was a whole episode about how Cody is bad at soccer.
Makes sense he has a lot of basket balls and baseballs. We see the family play basketball all the time and at the end of the soccer episode, Kade insists Cody try out for baseball.
You would think they’d have a shed or something to put all their sports stuff in??? Why have them inside????
Why the boomboxes?? I could see if one of them used to be Charlie’s and he gave it to Cody, but why two?
The magician hat and the trumpet are both call backs from previous episodes. I don’t remember exactly the trumpet one, but it was when he was trying new things for a lad pioneer badge or extra credit in school or something. Heatwave recommended martial arts but it didn’t go well???
The duplicate of the Teddy bear with the police shirt and the duplicate of the magician hat are clear accidents.
The moose hat is because the moose is the mascot of the team Kade was on.
Why the tuba? What’s with the water tanks? Cody has his own plant? When’d he make the Optimus head? That would’ve been cute to see!
Why the hell does he have so many rubber ducky’s?!?!?!???
//Don’t take this post too seriously. I know there’s going to be animation errors. I find it amusing.
Bonus:
Tumblr media
54. Lucky soccer shorts from first grade
55. Mr. Macaroni from preschool

This is a PSA...
FUCK THAT STUPID "PARODY" OF GOODBYE VOLCANO HIGH!
Why? Why?!
It was made by members of 4chan, the worst site on the internet BY FAR! The complete opposite of KO_OP--filled with right-wing rhetoric and intolerant of any piece of media that dares to be different! If you like the "parody game" and its related products, then you're saying that you support 4chan, warranting a block from me.
2. Lazy and unambitious design. GVH is all-around unique; high schoolers having to deal with the lead up to a cataclysmic event, deciding how to spend their time up to that event, and every character is an anthropomorphic dino. Plus, the game is a blend of rhythm and cinematic adventure, a novel choice in game design. Plus, the characters are all written like believable teens with understandable issues (the effects of the impending meteor, for instance), with plenty of non-forced conflict.
The OTHER game, meanwhile... stole the designs of the main characters and appropriated them into high school drama cliches, plus, the design for the main teacher blatantly rips off an Adult Swim character, for some reason. The worst part is the main character, though! It's just some muscly guy with a blank face! No eyes, mouth, hair, NOTHING ON THE HEAD! Goddammit, seriously, that is the WORST character design I have ever seen in my life!
Plus, THAT game is just another throwaway dating sim VN that can NEVER reach GVH's level.
3. LGBT ERASURE! THIS. IS. WHY. YOU SHOULD NOT LIKE THE GAME!
GVH's main characters are queer one way or another: Fang is non-binary, Rosa is a transgender woman, Sage is a transgender man, and it's possible for Fang to enter a relationship with Naomi. Reed is also hinted to be in a relationship with a male classmate, Alvin. Plus, there is some subtext regarding the pairings of Trish/Rosa and Sage/Stella, as well as in Naser's arc.
Meanwhile... THAT game is basically a vehicle by its creators to espouse 4chan bullshit. Fang is an enby when you first meet them, but their "happy ending" has the player character convince them to detransition. RED FLAG! RED FLAG! And the only endings where they stay an enby are the ones that don't give them any respect! This is bad messaging! Apparently, they're saying that the only way to find happiness in life is to throw away your queer identity! FUCK THAT SHIT!
Again, that is huge disrespect towards a likeable representation of an enby.
Note: Rosa, Sage, and Naomi's queer characteristics were envisioned DURING the rewrite, so it was after THAT game was revealed. Make of that what you will.
4. It blatantly disrespects KO_OP, and frankly, the company does not deserve it.
Goodbye Volcano High was released in August of last year, but it was actually revealed as far back as summer 2020. It was VASTLY different back then--it was more like a traditional visual novel, except with the same anthropomorphic dinos and unique designs. By the time GVH was released, it had gone through a huge story rewrite, resulting in the final product.
Unfortunately, there's a whole backstory in the development of GVH.
2020 was when COVID-19 was ravaging the world, and KO_OP's workers were struggling with the disease, putting a major dent in the game's production and delaying it for a while.
Also, the rewrite started not long after the game was revealed. Admittedly, this was due to a mistake on KO_OP's part in their choice of a writing crew, but the writing team was replaced, so good on them.
Also during development, they were harassed by 4chan and other unsavory people, culminating in THAT game. Basically, there's an undercurrent of PTSD--on the KO_OP Discord, if you bring up THAT game or any other hugely offensive content, you'll get a warning or a ban. Is it any wonder they hate THAT game?
Also, as I mentioned in a previous post, KO_OP should be admired for withstanding all that crap and releasing GVH three years after its initial announcement, the payoff being that it has its own dedicated fanbase and was nominated in three major awards ceremonies. Like GLAAD!
5. Real-World Events
Probably the worst part is that THAT game has a fanbase, even after a terribly heartbreaking event in February.
Two words: Nex Benedict.
Seriously, to still support that game, even in light of similar tragedies... That's inhumane.
*sigh*
I know this kind of post may not be your cup of tea, but I needed to get this off my chest. I love this game so much... It pains me to see that a supportive game, alongside its fans and creators, is being unfairly targeted by terrible people.
I stand by what I said in this post. I did my research before making this essay. That said, if there are any inaccuracies in here, I apologize.
However, I will not tolerate anyone who tries to argue in support of THAT game. If they do that, they get reported/blocked.
Sincerely, popart-vvv.
