And you’re saying that it tastes so much sweeter

Well, I’ve been there, and it’s bitter.

Had my updated Arrigal under my belt for a while but only recently finished him because he’s briefly with the party! Which means we get a lot more time to analyze the most complicated man in the world.

Howdy!

So lately I've been on a quest of artistic improvement, and on that quest I've been studying styles that have the tendency to just, take my breath away and leave me with the unshakable envy that drives me forward, and that includes your great stuff!

I hope you don't mind if I pick your brain, but there's one thing in your art that's present in almost all of the ones I'm studying that I cannot for the life of me understand. The lines, or lack there of I suppose. My brain is just psychically incapable of understanding what's going on with it, because it doesn't f e e l like normal linework, and in speedpaints it's hard to see exactly what's going on. Like, I'm amazed that you can do that.

i've only posted one speedpaint recently, so i'm guessing you're talking about the ousai one, right? how's this...?

i use one brush (ciro pen @ 80% opacity) for almost everything nowadays. sometimes i just clean up a sketch, sometimes i draw a lineart layer. as you can see, it's still pretty messy...! i don't bother closing lines, and drawing with a lower opacity helps me (try to) be less stiff / quickly draw in shadows or vary line impressions. i rough colors on one layer underneath, reduce lineart opacity, and then make one layer on top to paint over it. sometimes i redraw lines, paint over, or color lines, especially for details or elements that feel like they should be merging/touching/melting into each other...

good luck on your art quest!! hope that helps, even a little...!

#ASK EVER #im the npc you encounter on your quest who gives you like ten radishes and sends you along #maybe only a little bit helpful but trying to be encouraging LOL #if you have questions on specific pieces i can try to answer bc i am not super consistent but this is more or less my usual process

If you crash a post made by a victim discussing their experiences with narcissistic abuse with walls of text and preface it all with "I have NPD": ...yeah, no shit you do.

Literally no one is saying "all NPD people are abusive", but those who aren't wouldn't be going out of their way looking up certain tags on tumblr just to finger wag and play victim on strangers' tumblr posts.

#anti npd #narcissistic abuse #die mad about it #some of y'all are straight up emotional plague rats i stg #the fact that y'all have decided any mention of someone being narcissistic is about people with NPD specifically is batshit too btw #newsflash: narcissistic is an adjective that exists outside of the full-fledged disorder #and regardless it's your responsibility to be aware of your own bullshit and do something about it #don't really gaf if an abuser has a disorder that's not a damn excuse #don't really gaf if an abuser has trauma that's also not a damn excuse #do you also argue that a school sh00ter that was bullied can't be accountable or is it just because you relate to treating people like NPCs

Does anyone else remember how during ACoC people kept trying to prove that Caramelinda was somehow in on [redacted's] betrayal and was actually evil? And do we all remember how many times Brennan had to say "No, she's not evil or Bad or anything, she's just a woman who is trying really hard to make the best decisions she can with the information she has in the heinous circumstances she's in"??? Do we remember Brennan having to tell the Bad Kids that Zayne Darkshadow isn't just some cringefail fucking edgelord but a child who suffered greatly in his life and then DIED?

Does anyone else remember Kalina literally having to snap her own neck to get the Bad Kids to realize that she might not be just *blanket evil*?

I feel like I'm seeing something very similar happening with Porter and Kipperlily and I really hope Brennan once again subverts the idea that just because a character is antagonistic they are inherently Bad or Evil.

Also, just a reminder Protagonist = main character Antagonist = person opposing/challenging the main character

These terms do not possess a moral assignation.

#To be clear this is not about the Intrepid Heroes and how they play the game #This is fully about how easy it is while playing DnD to forget being the main character makes it really easy to assume opposition = malice #and to make character judgments based on whether or not NPCs or nice/helpful/frienldly/agreeable #even though time and time again it has been proven that the nicest people in the world can be the most nefarious #also in the specific case of Fantasy High #they are all so good at playing teens and really leaning into the defensive/reactive/emotional aspect of that #a lot like Ruby in ACoC #there's also something very high school about responding to a person disliking you with extreme defensiveness #rather than simply understanding that sometimes that just...happens #and that people can come to and act based on conclusions about you without all of the information #in the exact same way that you can #but it feels more personal and offensive because you are living in your own head and know your reasons for doing things #so it becomes a flat dichotomy of nice person = good #rude person = bad #and it takes a lot of growth and perspective to know things aren't that flat in most situations #Aabria is actually really good at subverting that manner of thinking #both as a DM and a PC #d20 fhjy #dimension 20 #fhjy #if i die #let me die #thoughts #a crown of candy #acoc spoilers #fhjy spoilers

supe npc (Then and Now) for a MASKS: A New Generation game I'm gonna be running for some friends. TrueStrike, mentor to the protégé character. left was him before he disappeared from the public eye after the intense ridicule brought on from accidentally killing destroying a city institution: the giant, beloved balloon mascot of the city's favorite donut shop (Dino Donut, the D-Rex, of Dino Donut), traumatizing a generation of children who loved it and all the adults who grew up with it. there were a lot of kids screaming, crying, The Day Dino Donut Died. The Dino Donut balloon has since been replaced with a statue of a hipper version of the D-Rex that wears a backwards baseball cap and everyone hates it.

TrueStrike currently lives inside a storage unit, monitoring the city with all his high tech computers as he sinks deeper into paranoia and self-pity, missing his ex-wife and kid, and tries not to spend too much time refreshing the FUCK TRUESTRIKE geocities page. he mostly uses his protégé to get him pizza.

#masks a new generation #masks: overlook #truestrike #superhero #original character #original characters #npc #he is an absolute disaster and i am obsessed with him #we have yet to play but we have been over the moon with the life and death of Dino Donut #he is so hot then and now i'm sorry but i'm so (BRAIN RATTLES) #fuck i forgot to put his logo on his chest. oopsie. #he can't explain he killed Dino Donut protecting one of the PCs with a specific exploitable power #so he just comes off as more callous and unlikeable #reporters did eventually catch him angrily ranting that balloons don't have a soul but he does #antonio salvo #if you read all of this you get a gold star #masks ttrpg #pbta

They should have a faction or community in fallout that is made up of ghouls turning feral. It would be interesting to see the process and perhaps how the ghouls cope with the fact this is happening to them.

#like they’d be a hostile or very hard to interact with faction until you do npc specific quest and earn a good rep with them #but then they’d probably have a cool quest line or loot cause they’d likely be trying to find a way to stop or just halt it #and don’t need many earthly possessions anymore #plus like a semi feral companion would kick ass cause they’d be like pardon my manner *rips a guys throat out* #fallout #fallout new vegas #fallout 2 #fallout 3 #fallout 4

okay but what would YOU say about leandra amell

#sorry. she’s one of my favourite dragon age npcs of all time and i think about her constantly #but when i dont have a specific prompts my brain pings around my skull like a windows screensaver #took me 2 days to come up with an answer to this ask #i think it has analytical merit though.

i once had an anti tell me to stop sexualizing their trauma on a story i wrote that was a word for word retelling of my own actual trauma but with names changed and its been 2 years and i still cant stop thinking about that

Ah, yeah... Unfortunately a non-insignificant number of antishippers seem to genuinely believe they own the concept of trauma, so any story they read that they believe to be portrayed in a romanticized or sexualized light therefore must be romanticizing/sexualizing their trauma specifically.

I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've gotten the "stop sexualizing my trauma!!!!!!" or adjacent comments from antishippers that universally garner a response that basically boils down to

Like, bitch! I'm talking about my trauma! I literally did not even know you existed until you fucking commented!

#proship #proshipper #anti bs #just anti things #glad to know antis assuming every story about trauma must be about them specifically seems to be a universal proshipper experience lol #like *how* am I sexualizing *your* trauma when I literally do not even know who you are? #like if you hadn't commented I would've gone my entire life not knowing you even exist #if I had omnipotence like that I certainly would not be using that power to sexualize the trauma of some random fucking stranger! lol #you think my petty ass would be doing *that* instead of the infinitely more infuriating thing of spoiling every show you love at any chance #jokes aside though like seriously get fucking real #I hate to burst your main character syndrome bubble but nobody fucking cares about you #not in the ''nobody loves you and you'll die alone'' sense #but in the ''you are just Some Guy™ and the 8 billion other people on the planet have their own problems to worry about'' sense #if someone is writing about trauma maybe take your self-centred goggles off for 5 fucking seconds #and maybe you'll realise that it is 1000000% more likely this random stranger is writing about *their* trauma #and *not* the trauma of a person whose entire existence they are not even aware of #I do believe the tiktok trend of referring to strangers as ''NPCs'' has at least contributed to this epidemic of main character syndrome #people you don't know are *not* ''NPCs'' you fucking robot! #they are human beings just like you with lives and dreams and loved ones #you just don't know them #sorry but I genuinely think I'd go to jail for murder if I ever heard someone refer to me as an ''NPC'' out in public #'cause genuinely who the fuck do you think you are!?
