The portraits that you make of the OFMD characters are absolutely gorgeous and I've loved every single one of them! It also astounds me that you can pump them out so quickly- I have to ask, what's your process for making these, and do you by any chance have any recorded speedpaints of making any of them or other works in a similar style?

thank you so much! believe me I've no idea how I've managed to make so many of them already, i guess i just get excited about liking something again so it's kind of a rush. my process is pretty much just picking a shot i like and painting it without overthinking it too much and focusing mainly on the feeling I'm trying to convey with it. i am working on getting some speedpaints ready, so hopefully that's gonna happen soon! ❤️

Happy birthday! I hope your year's been going well, or that it gets better if it hasn't! I hope you've been able to make it through this year without major issues, and learned and armed yourself with the knowledge from the ones you did face. I hope you know kindness and patience for your loved ones, and they show you kindness and patience in turn. I hope you achieve the things you set out to do for the rest of the year, that you make it throughout thriving and that, if you haven't, you soon find people that celebrate your birthday with you. You're worthy of being here, of being celebrated, of having your presence known and appreciated, and to be surrounded by people that see and value that.

And I hope you make it to your next birthday, so I can wish you happy birthday again.

Thank you ;w;

Could you tell us more about Mhundi and Peaches?

ALRIGHT SO

Basic background info: My superhero campaign takes places in the post-apocalypse, the word is honestly in a pretty decent place to live by the time of the campaign itself but society as we know it perished when the world went to hell in a big war back in the 2060′s.

Now that we have that out of the way.

Lord Mhundi is a priest and superhuman from before the war, having lived through it and into the time of the campaign thanks to her immortality. What she lacks in physical prowess, she makes up in her healing abilities and resourcefulness. See, she has the ability to cure any wound, even death, but she also has the ability to take her healing back, re-afflicting the person with the same sounds she cured - any life she gives she can just as easily take away. She uses these powers to resurrect people, and then essentially blackmail them into working for her in exchange for their continued existence. 

Mhundi views herself as a missionary and a saint who is trying to mend the broken world left behind by the great war, regardless of whether or not it wants her help. She actually abhors what she sees as violence, instead of trying to sway people to her side through her words. 

Peaches is one of the people who works for her and has the member of her faction with the most prominence as an antagonist in the campaign thus far. She’s a brawler with the power of Ki Manipulation, allowing her to perform Dragon Ball Z-type shit. She’s incredibly skilled at combat and has given the entire party an incredibly tough fight on her own both times she was encountered.

The thing is though, she’s not an evil person. She bears no ill will and doesn’t care about Mhundi’s goals at all. She was resurrected from death by her and is thus dependant on her to live. The whole ‘supervillain’ thing is nothing more than a 9-5 job for her where she just gets told to punch a fewpeople and then goes home.

In fact, she actually views the party with a great deal of respect and managed to get on pretty good terms with them. That being said, she’s still working for the other team, and her friendship with the party comes with the knowledge that there’s going to be a point where she’s going to be asked to kill them.

She also happens to be a blind catgirl who enjoys snacks - particularly meow mix.

Cocoa 🍪

I have long curly hair and I'm too scared to cut it short . . . so maybe shoulder length light brown hair with highlights, keeping my curls. It's been a while since I've had short hair !

When I started reading BCB, David was my favorite character and I patiently waited for when he'd get a spotlight. I thought he was one of the main characters because he hanged out with the cast all the time. Granted, by the end of Volume 1, I understood he was a minor character like Sue. After that though, I realized that he had a much smaller role on the story than Sue. He seems to be an afterthought for Taeshi at this point, and as a consequence, hasn't grown much.

On the other side of the coin, most of the characters who have been in the limelight haven’t grown as much either; Daisy is still much the same as she had been before freshman and Abbey, despite all the advice given to him from confident around him, he still has to put it in practice or basically ‘change’. Growth tends to be a slow agonising process. I tend to prefer it like this rather than a character doing this amazing 180 degree swap.

I gotta admit I’ve been having trouble really giving your ask an answer that nails everything here. I feel what’s been said about Taeshi is a bit presumptuous; David’s still being included in most of the recent chapters where I feel it could be possible to even replace him with Mike at this stage. Could’ve happened in Fair Game, given us some of that PauloxMike and MikexDaisy conflict. So I feel that there is still some significance in including David instead of what would save chapters if BCB was being urgently wrapped up. I have faith in Taeshi’s writing ability; BCB’s still going and the story has evolved as the years pass. There’s always a chance since Abbey’s arcs appear to be more or less complete for more ground could be reached with both Sue and David given Lucy and Paulo are in the spotlight. 

On the other hand, it mightn’t; David tends to only hang around Paulo which could explain how he stagnates in a social setting. It might just be the sad fact that these characters are already well-grounded and they might just carry this onward into their senior year. Who’s to say?

Is it just me or does the game not register type immunities? Earlier today I was fighting with my Pidgeot and the opponent used Earthquake, which shouldn't have done any damage, but it not only hit, it did enough damage to knock out my pokemon.

It doesn’t seem to register type immunity, as my ghost pokemon get hit by normal type moves constantly. Make sure you keep this in mind when fighting gyms! Save your pokemon and your potions by sending out a pokemon you think will be immune and not dodging their attacks

Hey how do you feel about Pokemon Legends? 'Sides how it looks.

it is another rushed game project and i feel its gonna be another swsh situation, where in order to get the full game you’re gonna have to get dlc for a combined sum of like 200$ and its gonna be buggy and still lacking ease of use features that are associated with other large titles on the switch.

there’s like. too little info beyond “hey we’re doing the things people wanted us to do for a new console generation of pokemon” and it’s really lackluster compared to even ported titles on the switch like.

i cannot emphasize enough how disastrous sword and shield were/are and how the mishandling of multiplayer and trading has obliterated trust with the Pokemon company. can’t even blame gamefreak when they’re expected to pump out a title yearly, they are in constant crunch.

i wish they would give up yearly releases like this and just finally make a pokemon mmorpg, then they could piece out content and regions as expansions, and people would have a base game with a storyline and the ability to trade and battle.

if by some miracle Legends manages to pull itself together i may eat some of these words but like no lie an indie game dev studio im following has shown more promise in making an immersive open world creature collector battle game than the Pokemon company.

Idk what your timezone is but it's 12 here so- happy birthday! I hope your year's been going well, and if not, that it gets better soon! May you be successful in your future endeavors, blessed in your finances and health (physical and mental), and receive the wisdom and strength you need to make it to your next birthday, and many, many more after that! And I hope that if not this year, than some year soon, you've got friends and loved ones you've shared your birthday with, and are ready and happy to celebrate it with you. Have a wonderful day!

Oh my gosh!!! That's so unexpected, thank you ;o; <3

I agree with your sibling post! My brother is a year and a half younger than me and we've always gotten along really well, and my mother tends to comment on how siblings getting along is rare? But she says it from personal experience 'cause she grew up with 4 other siblings and they kinda butt heads over a lot of things. It's strange to me because while I get along with my parents my brother is basically my best friend.

oh heck yes, it’s great to hear about someone else who gets along with their brother!! i also constantly hear about how siblings don’t get along, though i’ve been seeing bits of Good Sibling representation in various forms of media more recently. it is Heartwarming....

my brother’s about 2 1/2 years younger than me but we act like we’re the same age, and he’s Also basically my best friend. it’s rad as hell

#text #ramblings #thank u for the bonus Positivity.. love it #thefoolatyourside #TO BE FAIR THO i dont get along well with my half-brother. but we have a Huge age gap of 8 years so......... hopefully it will get better as #we both get older

Happy birthday! I wish you the best for the rest of your year, that you're blessed on you finances, relationships and health (both physical and mental) and that you acquire the strength and wisdom to make it to your next birthday, and many more after that! It must be strange to hear this from a stranger, but I can relate to you. I don't celebrate my own birthday, but for different reasons. I believe you at least deserve to hear (or read) it from someone. So happy birthday!

Thank you so much! ;__;

Regarding the possibility of something happening on Sandy's side. I think it's been mentioned a bunch of times before, but she may be getting some pressure from her mother or agents/modeling companies that she drop her long-distance relationship in order to make her more "marketable" by paring her with other models or even just sell the fantasy of her being single and available or the like, as what they do with rl models.

yeah, i suppose! i mean i think that’s a valid theory considering what we’ve seen so far... she does seem slightly overbearing. 

im not sure it’s a theory i personally subscribe to, since it seems like Sandy has enough autonomy to be able to make a phone call once in a while. i also don’t know why she wouldn’t just say “hey, my mom doesn’t want me to be on the phone much” since Mike is clearly upset about her lack of communication & she’s trying to point out that she isn’t to blame for it anyways. 

i also don’t think there’s been enough indication that her mom is That Bad -- she pushes Sandy (probably more than she should) but not to those extremes. she’s only emphasized hard work and charisma thus far -- interfering in her daughter’s dating life to such an invasive degree doesn’t fit in with that.
