didn't want to ask this in the replies but what is your process like for designing clothing for characters bc not only do they look gorgeous but you always put so much thought into your stuff, esp the historical kind. it smthin i've always kind of struggled with tbh and you make it so interesting

oh man it kinda. varies? depending on what kind of clothing i want out of a character. this gets kinda long too but bear w me lol

the fashion pieces i do, i spend a lot of time going thru fashion editorials for poses and pick up pieces of different outfits or silhouettes that i want out of a piece. for stuff like a set occupation (hunter, butcher, blacksmith) it's abt knowing time period and finding the pattern between different photos.

the more complicated ones are like. odelia and euan. where im creating a whole piece that's frankensteined from a couple different styles (rococo, georgian, regency, etc). i think the three main types of information i depend on are Goal, Silhouette, and Fabric.

so Odelia and Euan. the goals for them are very different, bc Odelia strives to be the center of attention while Euan tries to blend in with the background.

Odelia needs something extravagant and flashy, maybe brightly colored and shiny; pastels and wide skirts would be good for her, and rococo is a good place to find both. satin is good for shine and lace is good for detail, and both are relatively light materials. Euan would want something a little more subdued, possibly a tighter silhouette so he's not taking up much space. i found a picture of a russian noble while i was sifting thru various noble clothing designs, and i liked the way the silhouette was tighter and cleaner. he'd also need darker colors if he wants to hide in the shadows. i like the way darker colors look in velvet, and it's a thicker, heavier fabric, which was another trait in the photo i was referencing. i also like the weight and thickness of quilted fabric so throw that in there for fun and detail. lastly, being as they're twins and high priests, they need a way to tie the designs to each other, and i settled on a thicker neckline that suits both styles in different ways. the finished concept looks a bit like this.

granted this is always subject to change, and its a v simple version of the design i want, but its a good start

with designs like that i also like looking for textiles! rococo patterns are so pretty too, so i picked one for Euan as well. the off white would be shared between the two designs, the lighter blues for Odelia, and the darker blues for Euan

wheeze that's a rough estimation of how i go thru designs, there's a type of practicality and personality i want out of most of them so i try to research what i can when i want smth specific. part of this is admittedly bc i. am a lil obsessed w period clothing, so i already have some of that in my back pocket, but i also think just typing in "[year] fashion" is a fair place to start. regardless, having fun is a Must when you're designing clothes for a character so dont forget that bit lol. i wish you luck and godspeed, friend!

#ask #i once again got in depth with it but i LOVE designing clothes #i dont do super complicated stuff often bc low energy BUT #when i DO #i go a lil nuts w it bc its a lot of fun for me

ok so i saw 1 (one) shitpost and now thia idea will not leave my head so ima gonna scream abt it: freddyfive night punch out

(to be clear im basing most my fnaf game knowledge on ucn and my punchout knowledge on wii, cause like those are the only ones ive played)

so like in total the fight would involve freddy, foxy, marionnete, all the balloon children (including the lil uh oh how un fortunate bitch >:3 ),

the fight itself you would be boxing good ol normal freddy however he would have a bunch of paraphernalia on him, specifically: a thingy on the left side of his hat with a music box, his hat which if punched enough can come off and reveal some small child, and a vent on his right "abdomen" from which many things can pop out of.

fnaf in general is like about "resource" management in the sense that the resources are how pissed the various robots are so that would be translated over to this by way of punching different spots depending on whats necessary at the time.

now in punchout, hitting the head during stun is generally simply better as it does more damage. however, there exists the hat of many small fellows, and like every 5 head taps theres a "chance" (probably a preset order) of either bb, jj, or the uh oh how unfortunate one. bb does a real quick slap that cuts your stamina (the heart meter) in half. like does Current-(Total*.5), so like if the total was 8 it takes 4 no matter how much u have. this in fact could just fuck you over at a bad time, as bb is want to do. jj apparently does precisely nothing in fnaf 2 after some quick research, so she also does nothing but pop out and idk be silly. and little miss unfortunate circumstances could maybe sing her lil song and like randomly lower one of the other "timers" a chunk.

ok so punchout is one of those probably few wii games that avoided mandatory pointer/motion stuff but i cannot think of a better way to implement this one idea so: there would be a decent bit of downtime between attacks where you're not able to hit fred but he aint attacking you and this would be when you're supposed to flick the wiimote into pointing at the background, specifically a wheres waldo ass thing about "staring" at foxy for a brief moment to keep them at bay (relatively simple as its a large fox robot in a sea of faceless grey silhouettes), and if you dont for long enough they do the funny skedaddle into a big ol uppercut or whatever, which would just instatly ko you. altho it would have a big ol tell of fred stepping aside for a second and the loud stomping naturally, so you could just skip this and play as normal, simply dodging or perhaps punching back, which would do damage to fred cause you earned that if so. (im thinking you'd just be knocking foxy back into him)

the music box side is relatively simple, over the course of the match it visibly unwinds and you have to hit it to keep it wound up or suddenly marionette headbutt. probably 3 punches would keep it fully wound. the box's music would be like wound into the fight song but then slowly quiet down as its winding off, and eventually the lil jack in the box "last seconds!!!" thing would play too, and that would "force" him to do some attack if hes in neutral. you better get that stun real quick tho lmao.

power: thats a very core emchanic in fnaf, and i have 2 ideas for how it could be mixed in here, a: it be tied to that heart energy number of mac's that makes you tired when it hits zero and cant punch no more, however this feels kinda bs and like just not balanced, like punch out is not the type of game to have a kick u while ur down mechanic u feel me b, a much better idea in my book: the stage/ring has power. for this to make sense it would be taking place in more of like a garage or smth, crowd could still be there but like its less of an official thing. this would actually incentivise ending the fight quickly more than just for cool points. it would nt like charge back between rounds, and for actual numbers, lets say like 5 minutes 30 "seconds "of total power. thats a bit over half of the total possible roundtime and feels decently accurate to the like "win before this or you Perish" angle. running out of power would, first of all, turn off the lights ofc. at this point its dark and shit, you can only see glowy eyes and the power bar, rest is just a shadowy figure. punches of all sorts are faster, foxy is agitated quicker, music box timer is shorter, and just all around not very good to be here.

idk fully abt this idea but also maybe a star punch could just wind back all timers regardless of where they are including foxy (except the power ofc), and the t3 just fully resets em. if you hit it anyway.

and thats abt all the mechanics i feel could be fitted into this without it being too much to also juggle with punching

JAY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA

having to ‘manage’ a bunch of lil parts on freddy like the music box and the various Foul Helium Children is SUCH a fun idea and in adore it immensely

AND HAVING TO QUICKLY FIND FOXY IN THE CROWD BEFORE HE JUST. FUCKING BOOKS IT TO THE STAGE AND UPPERCUTS MAC IS MAYBE THE FUNNIEST THING IVE READ IN A WHILE. LIKE!!!! OH NO DONT LET THE ROBOT FOX CATCH YOUR ASS LACKING MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CJSNSHHSHSHXXG

and the whole power mechanic playing into the actual stage… augh that’s SO cool I love it

someone call next level games, jay has banger ideas

continuation of under the cut. aries season BABEY

Joelleity: ur scattered nonthesis 🤝 my scattered reply but godddddd i genuinely remember loving a lot of B's costuming/styling even after reading criticism that made sense but im always just a sucker for any media that Tries stuff and boy were they trying stuff but i have gotten a feeling from what i remember and from what uve been mentioning that their choices are like. very. representative of larger sticking points abt it as a show as a whole lol for sure--

--all presented image that u cant actually sink ur teeth into bc if u start to u'll just get irritated abt the nothing underneath kjsdfg versus yeah!!! delightful knowledge abt actors involved in their chars' styling which means its probably gonna be some degree of. not even practicality but authenticity? personality? which is always what i gravitate towards when i draw clothes is i think abt what a char would actually choose n how an outfit would work in action

one more. tie that in somehow with what i read days ago abt mary's fashion being pulled partly from like a century ahead as a very . reflection of her character. which i loved finding out i love so much that theres genuine thought put into mary. all of a part w 'exaggerating to tell something true' my beloved storytelling style. mwah. chefs kiss. also. why clothes fastenings if not to unfasten the clothes? so extremely true

lmao See thats a mood. like i do think the costuming is one my favourite parts of the show. that's just not saying much. like they do have some colour theming that's pretty nice in there. they are going for like. amusement park regency or smth and that's gonna be a vibe for people who want that and good for them

YES. yes yes love this point. big agree i thinking about how beloved every crew member is cause how True the feel. like my friend who works at a department clothing store like (looks at lucius) "im pretty sure we sell that" and its a big part of i think jims appeal of like. cool ass nonbinary character that the camera just. loves. just the clothes give them the most dramatic silhouette on the show (with lighting to match), they look like a gun slinging cowboy but… u know pirate with knives. AND they still have that vibe after the beard comes off. I will say, its probably even a theme of bridgerton that the characters like. dont get to wear things they like (thinking of little yellow girl from derry girls and bookish little sister. cause like society and structure. compliance narrative etc) but u know, how deep is that. versus blackbonnet identity and clothing EVERYTHING

OH. OH OH. this is so true im losing it. i did think she looked a little victorian or edwardian. (i think her fashion thing even passes on to the kids in stede absence cause [checks screenshots] yeah alma starts wearing pants and both of them have much more active looking clothing.) i love mary as a character so much in her own right and narratively to like hold stedes feet to the fucking fire but also be the. foil maybe. for him and how like. society traps him (cause stede, not maliciously was trapping her). so much thought and care for her. Letting our characters do bad things kinda stuff. but not saying that means they cant do better exaggerating to tell something true !!!!!! yes yes yes sooooo ofmd thats it right there hehehe Exactllyyyyyyy

#some shit #we are on one. as it our right
