[Image Description: a set of five edited bug fables screenshots from the pre-battle zommoth encounter. The first is the same as in-game, Kabbu saying "W-What is that!? Something's coming!" The second is of zommoth appearing on screen with its sprite edited to be various shades of pink and yellow, wings the same pattern as Leif's (but still with the purple blight magic stuff in the chest area.) The next three images have the sprite edited in the same way.. The third image is of Leif's saying "...Wh, Rkejrm-m-Muse!? Kjdrira, mebsrgr...!!!" The next is Kabbu saying "Muse!? Leif, that's..." The final is Vi saying "T-That doesn't make any sense!" End ID]

I thought about one of my fucked up and evil au ideas for five minutes again, so I decided to spend like fifty hours making a thing about it. Basically what if Muse went back into Snakemouth later to try to rescue Leif or at least bring back his body and got caught by the roaches.

Putting just the edited sprites under the cut if you wanna see those without the lab mood lighting:

#bug fables #bug fables spoilers #muse bug fables #or as I've been saving my files for this as: #Zommuse #:3 #Leif bug fables #despite taking a super long time (not actually fifty hours but it felt like it) this was fun! #I am so much more comfortable with writing than visual art stuff but since I don't have any specific thoughts on the scenario #past this moment this is a way easier way to get my thought across in slightly more description than my one paragraph up there #eyedropped all the colors off Muze and Grandpa's sprites and then played with them a bit to make them go together nicer #part of the length was me figuring out how to do stuff and part of it was because I had to stitch some stuff together inconveniently #as I said earlier: aa spoiled me. what with having all the game assets and backgrounds either conveniently already extracted #or at least mechanically very easy to get myself because it's all just pixels and all the bits are on different layers! #(also storywise I usually tend to go with giving muse fire magic when I'm thinking things. but keeping the blight was easier shorthand. #and also all those times she's more on leif's end of the cordyceps spectrum. mind more there. so.)

my semi-annual complaint about wanting to make my own IF, but fail to get started because I am way too clueless to get and understand coding in general without getting my brain fried.

#I tend to choose the wrong time to do it but #it frustrates me!!! #i wish it could be one of those block programming thingies so I dont have to do all the hard work #but alas! #honestly i just need to sit down and properly get into it #but i often make it too complicated in my head and need a proper visual reference for what a certain code do to make a certain function wor #rather than read texts that explains what they do 🤡 #storywise and contentwise I think I have everything its just the coding damnit

Honnestly I'll never understand why people hate the fade or the deep roads when personally my biggest "well I guess I have to do it 🙄" moments are the ruined temple/wyrmling lair and pretty much the entirety of the brecilian quest. Sten's right what are we even doing here.

#going through the wyrmling lair like 'cool dragon fight once outside. cool dragon fight once outdide.' #i mean for the fade i do get not liking the blurry visuals. but storywise and gameplay wise ? so much fun

Happy to know I have not been exaggerating the Jingliu/Yanqing parallels for two months

#The short was visually stunning #I told Snow not long ago that the short... poem? about Lan in that one video #was very similar to Blade's own evolution as described in the relics and his character story #This short with Jingliu and Yanqing made me think of it too and reflecting on it a bit again‚ #about what we know of Jingliu and her own character story‚ I think the poem fits her well too #I really love the Jingliu/Blade parallels and the Jingliu/Yanqing ones and how the Jingliu/Blade/Yanqing iteration works a lot #As well as how that all must sit on Jing Yuan. Literally among my favourite things in the game thus far storywise #But I'll stop before I start rambling again #I'm going to quote the poem I mention #Although perhaps I should post is separately and save it under the 'Traces' and 'Fragments and scraps' tags #'In the first 10.000 years‚ the hunters struggle for survival / In the second 10.000 years‚ the hunters fight out of anger / #In the third 10.000 years‚ the hunt becomes a purpose in of itself' #I talk too much #Traces #Fragments and scraps #Just to remember to save later if I decide to do so

I think the fatui would benefit from more non-human appearances. Like why stop at the fluffy jacket with signora give her some antennae and a bit of neck fluff.

The creative liberty with Ajax, like hyv makes the rules they couldve decided he couldve mutated or sm while down there. Give him some whacky eye colour and skin discoloration.

Scaramouche could look a bit more formidable, give him a more mechanical look, like he's wearing armor. Put the inazuman symbol as his pupil.

#emptying the idea bin here ★ #genshin impact #genshin #fatui #la signora #signora #genshin signora #childe #ajax tartaglia #scaramouche #In terms of like power level the harbingers are closer to adepti than they are mortals #storywise i mean #the traveller has plot armor so ofc they're not gonna lose #but i just think they'd benefit from a visual indicator #that yk these people are stronger than you #cause i mean #signora ajax sandrone pantalone and scaramouche are generally pretty plain looking #like i would not assume they're going to kick my ass #maybe thats intentional idk #hiding in plain sight #type thing #but yh #id do it myself but every time i say im gonna omprove my digital art i forget #and so im nowhere near the level id be happy with putting on the internet #like my low effort doodles are done with ibis and my finger in the span of twenty minutes #idrc what feedback they get #but redesigns im an all or nothing type person

Wanna have easy access to all of Slushie's designs and Instagram's cropping sucks, so gonna post them here. A lot of them are here already but I wanna have them in one post so they're easier to compare to each other I guess

Anyway, here comes the giiiirrrlll:

I've really been jumping between shorts and a skirt since 2018 and now I finally think she looks good.

Her color scheme comes for a pic I found of a pretty icey drink with like strawberries or smth in it, it had the palette on the side. (I did tweak it a bit though) She's a combination of warm and cool colors, cool for the arctic stuff and warm for her personality :3

Also finally her hair makes sense, even though it often looks 2D. It's three dimensional and fluffy even though I suck at shapes! xD

As I've mentioned before, arctic animals wearing winter gear is funny to me, if they go around in summery places, they're gonna overheat! That's why Slushie's wearing light clothing. She gonna boil otherwise

Anyway, even if this isn't that interesting, it shows that character designing is fun and can take a long time!

#sonic oc #slushie the arctic fox #zee the arctic fox #as her old name was #sonic original character #SDB art #I've just been juggling the same design around and tweaking different parts of it all this time #but at least now I can draw her consistently and it makes sense visually and storywise

just finished watching a video on the walten files and it. was not as scary as i thought.

#that’s not a bad thing it’s just. #i thought it it was gonna be way scarier lol #i mean yeah #it was visually disturbing #but i guess storywise it didn’t scare me #didn’t hit any of my major fears besides the fucked up visuals #which is weird bc the fnaf vhs tapes did and the twf is heavily inspired by fnaf #but ig it’s bc i have a deeper connection to fnaf since i’ve been into the series since i was 8 lol #also felt the same way abt i think local58? #that one also didn’t hit any of my fears #now the mandela catalogue- #that one gave me nightmares for //weeks// #thanks extreme paranoia and religious trauma! #k.txt

Questionable Images- Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again

#sorry. all opinions are my own and do not reflect how other people should feel about this comic. #the question #comics #vic sage #dc comics #book club #batman the dark knight strikes again #this was one of the ugliest comics ive ever read in my life #trash. really awful #like not just visually but also storywise #and this question portrayal was really bad. just terrible. like imagine all the complaints i have #with people that make him Rorschach. but then add to that a level of cowardice i never thought possible. #terrible comic. #i mean it was like if a political comic artist decided to try their hand at writing a misogynistic and out of character pile of garbage #questionable images #i mean the only reason Vic even looks halfway decent is because he didnt have a face to make as ugly as possible #best to skip this one.

Im honestly baffled that Hazbin Hotel is the Amazon Prime backed passion project, and Helluva Boss was the youtube side project.

#out of curiousity I watched the shows and theyre nonoffensive #I actually really enjoyed Helluva Boss which had (mostly) streamlined designs and a lot of interesting characters and relationships #within the first season and some great songs #Hazbin Hotel is shaping up to be ‘ok’ but visually so messy and storywise rushed and charas not as developed as youd hope #like they expect us to come in with care and knowledge #voice acting and songs are great but they get broadway actors so its not shocking thats the case

Hey Dutch what is your opinion on crises core reunion ? I had few ca tell me it didn’t do anything for zack and aerith relationship it just made things worse ? I don’t know we’re they get that belief from but it’s there opinion. Did you think the story was ok and gave good context on what they mean to each other?

People give too much flack to Crisis Core. I only played the original CC back on the PSP so I can't say anything about whether or not Reunion made it better or worse, but I enjoyed the original. But part of that is because I simply had lower expectations for portable games than I do for AAA pc or console titles. I won't deny that the game has a bunch of stuff that could have been done better (Cough, genesis, cough), but it had its strong points as well. I think some of the basic concepts of Crisis Core are good in principle, like theme of hopes and dreams, and watching how Zack through adversity unwillingly becomes the hero that he always wanted to be. But the execution was often lacking. I love the idea of watching a several friends slowly break, and I think there is potential in tying that story into them being "monsters" and exploring what it really means to be a monster vs being a hero. But again. The way it was handled made it rather ridiculous and overly obtuse. The constant quoting of Loveless, ESPECIALLY without it ever getting a clear meaning that allows the player to connect with it, Angeals random dramatic self-pity, and a bunch of other stuff just made it so that storywise a lot of the bad overshadowed the good. But I played CC for Zack and Aerith, and they were perfect in my opinion.I loved seeing Aerith like an actual 16 year old girl and how her time with Zack rubbed off on her and caused her to start living every day to the fullest. I still think that the scene with Aerith hugging Zack from behind is one of the most romantic scenes in FF, simply because of how viscerally real it is. Her trying to make small talk, him just being there, choosing to mourn in the presence of the woman he loves, not needing to be consoled, but just needing her presence. And then that hug "sometimes you don't need words to tell a person how you're feeling" indeed. This is also a part of the reason I am convinced Aerith was still projecting Zack onto Cloud at the end of Rebirth "our place", "the church", Yeah right. For Cloud and Aerith the church is just a place they happened to spend about 5 minutes at one point, not even the place they met. Meanwhile Zack went there to see her for I think about one and a half years. He goes there instantly in intergrade, he goes there in Rebirth, we see him waiting there for Aerith at the end of rebirth, the core visual for Crisis core was changed to TAKE PLACE IN THE CHURCH. But the Church is Cloud and Aeriths place.....yeah right. Either that is an intentional hint that Aerith is still projecting, or the writing has fallen off a cliff. Then we have the other character moments, Cloud and Tifa pining for each other, the parallels between Cloti and Zerith. Zack promising Aerith he'll come for her underneath the water tower. And my favorite Aeriths "23 tiny little wishes", all encompassed in the one with to "spend more time with Zack". Which is then ultimately fulfilled via Cloud in the OG/rebirth. And then of course there is the ending, my favorite ending of any game ever aside from Nier:Automata. Man I bawled my eyes out. So yeah, I like Crisis Core, it's messy, but it's messy with a lot of gold in it, and for a portable title I think that's not half bad.

This scene in Umbilical is very interesting to me...

The people who are next to Yuno have facial expressions.

In Milgram the characters with a well defined face are usually important for the prisoners or for the story.

Good examples are Haruka's mother, whose face appears in the second MV, while his victim still doesn't have a face. Fuuta's supposedly friends at the arcade, Rei -> important storywise, being the victim + a possible affection Muu had for her (implied), Shidou's family (the patients don't have faces), Mahiru's boyfriend, Hanako - Kazui's wife and victim, Kotoko - the man who she steps on his stomach (victim).

So why Yuno, in the only sequence where there are people shown, actually remembers their facial expressions?

Well, I think this scene is more a representation of the society.

If we look closely, we notice a young woman, a middle-age man, a student like Yuno, a younger boy, probably in primary school, an older man.

Basically, people from all ages.

Despite that Yuno tells Es that she doesn't want to change her ways, she had to become a people pleaser. After all, why would she need to put up different facades for every client or person she is with? Why so much effort, that she is even matching clothes to fit the vibe with who she is with? Of course, she made all this with a purpose in mind, to find warmth! In Milgram, she stopped putting up a facade, because this place doesn't represent a place of interest for her anymore.

Ultimately, despite having a purpose in mind, she became, along the way, a people pleaser.

As I stated in my older analysis, Yuno is not fond of society. Because of people who like to humiliate and talk behind their peers who act different or have other perceptions, Yuno has to hide her work and her true self. For a long time, I have been thinking why Yuno makes so much effort, if she, in reality, doesn't care that much about herself...

"Yuno: Haha, we both lie, don't we? The difference is the reason for lying. Kazui-san, you lie to protect yourself, because you're important to yourself. For me, no one is particularly important. That includes myself as well."

Well, in Japan, reputation is very important! If Yuno, will show her true name and self, she might be putting her family in danger, along the way. And she will never want that, because she cares a lot about her family!

"What do you think about your family?"

If Yuno, because of a mistake, would tell her true identity, her family reputation might be at stake. Something that she will never want to happen.

That's why Yuno cares about what these people think and deems them important. She needs to be sure that her facade of a simple high schooler is perfect! To not act out of ordinary, follow the flow, be the same as everyone, so the society will accept her!

Moreover, it's important to state that these people are coloured in a lighter shade of lavender, they are not colourful as other Milgram side characters who don't have faces.

Lavender can express a feeling of dullness, it's lethargic. It could represent Yuno's views about society, how she feels like everyone is the same: judging others for their own self-esteem and pride.

This colour is also a colder one, showing Yuno's loneliness and the lack of warmth she receives from other people. This actually reminds me of a certain dialogue!

"Yuno: That’s right. You know those people who just wanna convince themselves, so they intrude in other people’s affairs even though it’s not their place—I despise them. That’s what I was saying. They only do that to make themselves feel better, don’t they? Those people don’t actually end up doing anything.

Es: Yuno…

Yuno: No matter how many chilling memories I had to go through, those people never gave me any warmth. [sigh] Hehe, I ended up going off-topic there! Um, what did I wanna say again?"

~"chilling memories" ~

The lyrics that are accompaning these visuals are stating that Yuno is feeling some kind of discomfort (her pregnancy). She can't smile anymore, more genuinely.

"I feel a little weird I’m still not used to feeling this way

I can’t get you out of my head, it’s a secret, ok?

Why are you here? You annoy me a little

I can’t smile well anymore, it’s because of you"

Her smile here looks a bit forced. Her eyes don't share the same happiness as her mouth, showing that her expression is not genuine.

Despite Yuno appearing calm about her pregnancy, she was actually a bit afraid and needed help! However, all she could see was a sea of purple, people, all the same, who would have just shamed her for her decisions and wouldn't help...

Bonus

In Teardrop, the only human we see, other than Yuno, is one of her clients. Well, see, it's an exaggeration, since he is represented by his hand which has colour. Yuno remembers him as his hand who gave her warmth, at some point in time. A cute rabbit, a sweet drink and a nice memory!

#I have a lot of ideas for Yuno recently!! #she is so interesting I love her character! #milgram #milgram theory #thoughts #milgram yuno #yuno kashiki

Not a confession but as a Russian I can confirm that a lot of people hated wtc cause they thought the lis before Renato were "just not attractive" or some stupid excuse like that. Idk it was very weird reading those comments cause in my opinion Arina never misses and all of her lis are great (both visually and storywise)

Agreed, Arina's one of my favorite writers, it's a shame to see wtc be so overlooked by some because of racism :( - mod lizzie

i think npmd is starkid's best show alongside twisted. musically, visually, comedically and storywise it feels so high quality and well done imo
