“It was only a book, but it felt far more than leather and paper and ink. It felt like something to tether her in the coming days, something to protect her as well as encourage her to keep going.”

It’s been a long night, but now we can feel the air, listen to the crickets, and watch the stars since time has stopped looping. Most importantly, though, is that it’s here with you.

Decided to do some fanart for a game. I finally got to playing it and it was really good! This art I drew is not my best but I decided to put it out there still because I think it’s cute. My personal headcannon of what a conversation at the end of the “leave ending” would be. Go check out black tabby games for their games slay the princess and scarlet hollow!

#slay the princess #black tabby games #Decided to just bite the bullet and put my first post out there for the world to see #Hopefully you all like it #Fanart #slay the princess fanart #traditional art #sketchbook #If the creators happen to see this thanks for taking time to look at my art! I hope you’re having a lovely day & taking care of yourselves #romantic #Probably going to workshop this one for a bit #Spoilers for slay the princess #I posted a digitized version if anyone is interested 👀 #I finished the game and it was beautiful :D

do you think laios makes sure to fit the entirety of chilchucks balls in his mouth when he's sucking him o— the lever is pulled on my electric chair

(i grab your hands and absorb the electricity with my supernatural powers leaving you unharmed) yes i do think that. i do

#chilchuck is sweating bullets the entire time frantically hoping laios wont bite #meanwhile laios is like waow. its so sad that i cant bite but then chil would never let me suck it again :( #but then again he does have two balls. does he need them both #sorry

Seeing the “cerebrocrustaceans are highly territorial” headcanon slowly start to pick up more steam (albeit with a split as to whether they’re so cliquey and ride-or-die they view everyone who isn’t in their in-group as a potential threat until they’ve made it abundantly clear that they mean no harm or if they despise any sort of group collaboration unless it’s absolutely, positively necessary) makes me wonder if it’s a common stereotype by the galactic audience to view them as being massive pricks to everyone they meet. Like, oh, everyone on Encephalonus-IV hates each other’s guts and they’re incessantly rude to anyone and everyone they come across! They’re so petty and envious they can’t stand the thought of anyone being better at them than anything and delight in the suffering and misfortune of people they don’t like! They fly into murderous rages if a galvan so much as breathes on them, and if they weren’t such cowards, they’d nuke Galvan Prime into oblivion only to immediately start yet another rivalry with some other species for one reason or another!

Hah! Doesn’t help their case that Dr Psychobos became very well known thanks to the super famous superhero Ben 10!

But no yeah with galvans being the cold detached sort of smart, especially with their prevalence in intergalactic relationships (you don’t become the smartest being in not one but multiple galaxies by sitting alone in your room), what comparatively little interaction to the wider galactic sphere cerebrocrustaceans have has more expectations than if the galvans were more subtle in their influence. If you’ve heard how much of an grumpy old man scientist the First Thinker is, especially when you hear about one of his creations striking out against him due to neglect, well you’ve already started to get the picture of an isolated workspace that no one dares interrupt.

So then you come face to face with a snappy cerebrocrustacean scientist who’s rude, direct, and hovering over your shoulder making sure you don’t fuck up, well you won’t really find many cases of neglect when everything you do is under scrutiny. I guess the difference between my headcanon and @ohyeahben10 ‘s headcanon would be if you can endure the territorial… hostility may not be the right word, the fact that you’re in the same space as a cerebrocrustacean at work is already more than what they’d typically give, in my headcanon sphere you could potentially get past that barrier and transition from outgroup to ingroup; I don’t know exactly what’s in ohyeah’s head but I assume given his headcanons she might say that you practically could never get on a cerebrocrustacean’s good side, or at least not as close as an ingroup would suggest-

Either or, it’s gonna leave a bad first impression, and that is how the stereotype for being prickish is so widespread. Potentially, if a notable cerebrocrustacean scientist works intergalactically, the stereotype may narrow to Encephalonus IV having a very dickish social culture.

#ask #anonymous #cerebrocrustacean #encephalonus iv #ben 10 #hope i pronouned you right ohyeah (or whatever shorthand name you’d prefer- central or sceathered idk) #but right yeah being territorial sucks for your reputation but it’s probably why scientists aren’t representatives #which might have to bite the bullet and fight against the instinct to be territorial- or at least innately not be as much #then again they’re collectively a rather smart intelligent species so maybe scientists are representatives #i think i like thinking about cerebrocrustaceans (god it’s such a long name) #it’s not going to beat out petrosapiens anytime soon but with galvans in canon getting a lot of focus #imagining what makes cerebrocrustaceans different besides appearance is really neat #i like thinking they’re like cliquey scientists- mostly because aside from medical doctors i don’t see a lot of big science teams in galvan #like it seems to be mostly kept to two either it’s the first thinker and their assistant #or it’s blukic and driba as the technicians (r&d?) of plumber earth base #i mean technically dr psychobos was completely alone in regards to the sciencing part #having malware hunt for the omnitrix schematics and have khyber literally hunt the omnitrix wielder #but like i don’t think i can base all cerebrocrustaceans after dr psychobos #because well i don’t think everyone on ecephalonis iv hates galvans- djw even said they don’t have a rivalry #but it’s fun i like cerebrocrustaceans (god is there anyway to shorten the name)

The best feeling in the world is when there’s a piece of media you know you love and you’ve hyped it up as your favorite thing for so long but you haven’t revisited it in a while so you start to worry if it’s really as good as you make it out to be and so you go back and revisit it and it’s like. Oh this is even better than I remembered this shit rules

#the klock keeps ticking #i always get this feeling when i play 999 but tonight i got it with the letter #cuz ive uh finally decided to bite the bullet and play the evil meanie route where everyone dies 😟 #a route ive put off for so long cuz its just too damn sad to think about akjdksk god it hurts #and ive played like for the most part every route of this game EXCEPT this one but i know the ending is really dark and i need to see it #plus i will at least get my beloved torture scene in so thats nice #i didnt kill off isabella though its a coma route which i hope still allows me to get the ending i want cuz i mean shell still be out of #commission in the final scene so hopefully it works out #but yeah no i started off tonight on the marianne chapter and while i did skip around through it cuz ive played it many times and i just #wanna get to the important stuff already alskj i also just replayed some of the best parts #aka the shit where lorraine appears and the gay shit alksks and god like hnnnghh not only does this chapter still ruin me emotionally #i also just remembered why i love this character so much and remembered just how good the character writing in this game is #and i also played into the rebecca chapter and didnt skip as much cuz i actually am not as familiar with the coma route #cuz it makes me sad and i never revisited it lol and i havent gotten to The Scene that makes me sob yet #its so coming though dont worry but idk i guess its just been cuz ive been thinking about p3 so much lately #and in particular shinji both the death route and coma route but in particular the coma cuz thats what im writing #and damn lol the letter just writes the grief and nuanced relationships and death stuff so much better lol god #like marianne loses her childhood best friend whom she has a gay ass relationship with to suicide and like its just better #she blames herself and still isnt even kinda okay with it after 13 years #like it just fucking ruined her and the only thing keeping her from losing it is her repression and drinking problem and unattached sex #and then with coma route well fucking first off isabellas friends actually like. visit her frequently damn #and they just all have such unique ways of coping like Zach is being optimistic so no one gets too upset #rebecca is sorta in charge of making sure everything goes smoothly she has to contact the family and make big decisions #and shes also just taking the most stress and shes got so many complicated feelings around isabella going on but she genuinely cannot stand #that isabella is hurt shes fucking destroyed she loves isabella and then ashton AAAAA god yeah i also just remembered that hes SUCH a good #character hes like being a genuine asshole right like Rebecca calls to tell him that isabella is comatose now and he literally doesnt let #her say anything he literally says ‘i dont have time for other things rn’ like the wellness of his friend is just ‘other things’ #but you just know thats not it not at all hes burying himself in work to the point of destruction so he can figure out who did this and make #everything okay and he refuses to show even an ounce of vulnerability cuz THE SECOND HE DOES IT ALL COMES OUT AND HE CANT GET OUT OF BED #ANYMORE CUZ HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY WHEN THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE IS DYING

so tired... danny went into heat so now she is like. yowling at 3am every night and im like. ooooohhh you are getting your tubes tied sooner rather than later

#ktxt #she wasn't having it at all and then as soon as she got dewormed it was like party time #well... I guess its a good sign that shes healthier but I just hope the noise isn't loud for my neighbors -_-;; #I think I have a better chance of going through my vet I'm a patient at already... but also the low income spay and neuter center exists #I just think they're probably not going to have an appointment for like months because they're always way backed up for obvious reasons #it depends. If it's 500 dollars or less I will bite the bullet and do it

I have another skin I've been wanting to get some progress on and then I remembered that I haven’t streamed in one million billion years. if people are interested in a jank little ipad stream (oh god I’ll have to figure out if that’s even possible) maybe I’ll try my hand again at streaming my art. no promises I’m still trying to crawl my way out of Only Making 2 Pieces of Art Per Year so I cannot guarantee when the mood will strike me

#unfortunately it has been a Bad Time. i had all these hopes to start up a non FR blog and was going to!!! but I'm so dead. #I hope I'll be able to do it soon because I really want to! it just requires energy of which I have none right now #I have an insane amount of worldbuilding shoved in my head and it would be fun to share #like I will go insane with worldbuilding if I'm left to my own devices. I was trying to make a new chromosome system the other day. #I once tried to figure out orbital mechanics to make a planet system. I am an evolutionary biologist. I know fuck all about orbital mechanic #s #god help me because I started thinking about weather patterns recently #anyways #really the most part is I just gotta get over the mental hurdle of ahhhhh sharing scary #sharing stuff here has me sweating sometimes LOL #just because Ahhhhhhh People Can Perceive Me and My Art #plus streaming is like Get Perceived Idiot and I think that I need to practice that #anyways welcome to my TED talk. #who cares!!!!!!!!!! @ ME Get This Through Your Head. #also I know I'm the king of ok I will try my best to make this happen! and then not making it happen but I did not forget. #I have ALWAYS wanted to make an art blog since I was like 12 and learned what those are. but 11 years later I'm still too chicken to do it #SO. I'm working on it #I am biting the bullet and forcing myself to start posting shit. eventually. soon #if you want to get the jump on it my tumblr is actually already made I'm just sitting on it and letting it haunt my brain #it's rewormer. just rewormer #because I will be posting about worms. many many worms. I love them. they are my brain rolled out into a worm shape. #MY brainworms. no dewormer allowed <3 #my interest in worms went from 'I love looking at sandworm concepts I should make one sometime' to #'ok I finally made my own sandworm and they are so incredibly self indulgent that I can think of nothing else now.' #speculative biology my beloved at this point I do my little biology thing and then come home and immediately try to apply all of those ideas #anyways holy shit if you read all of this. I give you a sticker #but I just wish I had the energy to do all this. I'm hoping it changes soon because I do really want it! very badly! I just am not there yet #unfortunately things have been Bad and I have not been doing Well and life kinda derailed and then the train fell into a lake. #and I am still sitting in the water being like aww shit my train. but I'm hoping to call Train AAA soon #holy shit I hit the tag limit okay bye for real

I'm about to do something horrible in Baldur's Gate 3. I'm about to break up the lesbians.

#damien.txt #aylin never healed after the moonrise fight 😐 she's at 15 health. in lorroakan's tower. #and i sent her there forever ago. before house of hope. before cazador. #so like. there's no fucking way im reloading. but also there's no way she lives if i fight lorroakan. #so... i think i just bite the bullet. and get him on my side. #brooo i even told him she was dead but made the mistake of talking to aylin at camp.... #awful. i feel so bad. but literally i guess this is happening. im going to be able to one shot her fr #im sorry lesbians 😔😔😔😔 #bg3

I wondered how often the future waits on the other side of the wall, knocking very quietly, too politely for us to hear, and I was filled with longing to reach back into my life and inform that unhappy girl: all around her was physical evidence proving her sorrows would end. I wanted to tell her that she would be saved, but not by an act of will: clever Gretel pretending she couldn't tell if the oven was hot and tricking the witch into showing her and shoving the witch in the oven. What would rescue her was time itself and, above all, its inexorability, the utter impossibility of anything ever staying the same.

local desperate ace asks hot friend out on a not-not-a-date to an aquarium on her birthday. because desperate. 

#if he says yes i'm going to have to bite the bullet and either make a move or at least ASK about it #like are we friends? are we both actively trying to figure out feelings? #is it just me? are we okay as friends? #i would hope for more because god damn he's WOW but friends are also good for me because relationships are hard #but i think i would need an answer before he heads back to school and gets all stressed again #i just want to know if i can chill my crush out or if i should keep fostering it #bc it's fun but exhausting at times bc it just becomes my EVERYTHING #obsessive neurodivergent ace relationship issues lmao #ashlee talks #fingers crossed he doesn't have other plans please pleas please i need this

i think the fact that persona series & fire emblem series are two of my longest lasting interests that i still actively engage with. says something about me.

#speculation nation #right up there w/ naruto being another of my longest lasting interests #Bad Taste Alert except i kinda really enjoy my bad taste media #not my fault the fun video games are rife with misogyny #THO IN MY DEFENSE my fav fire emblem game is one of the best out there in that respect (echoes) #ive been thinking replaying it again after i finish engage. for the like.. 4th time... #im just genuinely so obsessed with this game i could play it for forever #man i just looked it up. i was hoping there'd be something harder than hard mode #bc i played hard mode for my last run. & like yea it was hard but i wanna be kept busy for even longer. i swear that game flies by so quick #really wanna play it............. might just bite the bullet and push for finishing engage rather than dilly dallying lol #im already super over leveled. and i only have like 2 more chapters left. i could finish tonight if i rly wanted to #probably wont. but i think. that i Will play another map lol

okay so Phineas and Ferb getting two more seasons is fucking insane this info was just thrown into my lap without much elaboration.

#Is it gonna be more summer themed eps or will they bite the bullet and have it be in school? #Will this retcon the finale? #So #SOOOOOOO many questions #like it's not being marketted as a spinoff or new show it's just #more episodes #I hope this is good though #Phineas and Ferb #Phineas #Ferb #Disney+

so how do i just like magically get a different job i don’t hate

#really hoping opportunities start showing up with grad school like immediately #or maybe i’ll just bite the bullet and quit here before i do grad school stuff #(this would be a bad choice but by the gods is it tempting)
