#want you gone map

[ganondoodle]

some more ideas for the totk rewritten project (botw2);

underground general ideas i thought about what to theme the underground after, and since its vaguely like underwater in canon i thought id push it much much further, you cant actually dive and while id love that i do want to stay within a certain possible range of it still being a sequel to botw and somewhat based on totk- so im putting the low gravity effect away from the sky and instead in the underground, the ENTIRE underground, that way it is distinctly different in the way you have to play since you gotta work around the low gravity effect, the entire plant life and enemies will also be based on deep sea creatures- anglerfish like ones that half burrow and lure you with their light, those fish (or are they worms?) that hide underground as soon as you step too close, maybe they hide initially but only to make you go closer and try and snatch at you

much more glowy things too, basically everythings got some sort of light on it, there are different creatures flying around that all feature some sort of glow, so there is stuff to see but you cant immediately know what it is, theres a unique kind of plant that when you bother it spews out a dark cloud of spores (kinda like in tp) that dims any light you had; there are some landmarks you can activate or repair with the help of zelda but there is no way to illuminate the entire map and the lil light ferns expire slowly too

i also want it to be way more wet, not full with water but maybe a thin layer of water at most places and some drops from stalactites that fall constantly

there are shadowy ghosts there as well but they CAN aggro (still working on it), either by taking a weapon from their grave or some other things; also considered them or some other enemy that stalks you for some time and the only clue you get is maybe double sound of your steps or something at the very edge of your screen but you can never catch it when looking around (i dont want to make it a horror game but do want the underground to stay as creepy as when you first get down there), something elusive and shadow based that is rarely encountered but stays creepy for longer than the miasma hands sicne it cant get stuck on anything and the only way to be safe is while in the air

maybe some miasma reanimated corpses of ancient shiekah killed when the ancient hyrulean king turned on them (only foudn in the underground in this way; there are others but unposessed in alot of the broken shrines and old laboratories so seeing one suddendly move and crawl after you is probably pretty scary, kinda like the vroken guardians sometimes being still functional)

the dongos are the main friendly animal you can discover there and tame (still working out more details) they can climb around, always emit a little bit of light and the shadow enemy wont latch onto you as long as you are near a dongo, maybe even most enemies will leave you alone if you are riding one, as they are slower than horses, with the exception of gigamas (or a similar enemy ill redesign for that) as they are the natural predator of dongos; when you get to close to one it will react to it and if a fight is initiated it burrows away (you can call it and it comes back to you if you are out of range of that enemy)

tameable animals since i played skyward sword recently i just realized again how much fun it is to fly on a bird, sicne im already dividing the three map layers a bit more i thought it would be cool to make these layers more distinct, in some part by the tameable animals- the sky has birds (based on dinosaurs), the surface has horses, the underground dongos- neither of them can follow you to one they dont belong and the way to call them switches as you switch layers

im not sure yet if those birds should be ridable or are only able to give you a small boost upwards when you call them

magic bar so instead of actual batteries i planned to, as i said before, to put that into links shiekah arm prosthetic, and instead of giving you literal battery symbols on the screen it would be a bar right below your health and next to the symbol of the current selected arm ability

krog seeds a bit more to the krogs- as i said before they are no longer the way to make your pockets bigger- among an armor set i also thought about making the most expensive reward OR the end reward for finding all of them be the eponator zero- maybe it went missing during the cataclysm and maronus (engl. hestu) finds it at some point, so you get your bike back but its locked behind something bigger so you are unlikely to exploit it early on

(EDIT) (forgot to mention the dragons- im putting them each in one layer of the map- eldra in the underground bc gan is there and youknow, demise coming from the ground and fire being associated with the ground etc, farodra on the surface GREEN etc, and naydra in the sky, bc wisdom and owls and gods and all that weeeeee)

(on a sidenote im also thinking about ditching the building mechanic to some extent since i dont think it fits very well as a whole and it makes it too easy to completely skip stuff- i want the main way to move things or to get around be the hookshot/grappling hook part of links arm; still working on all that though .. so far it does seem likely like it will be much more limited)

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #ganondoodles rewrites totk #also since alot of the shrines are now more like bigger caves and less in number i thought about making a broken tower into a mini boss #like a mass of miasma spilling from a hole in the ground like the big one in the gerudo area that wields the tower as a weapon #some of the bigger regional changes i wanted to mix it up alot more without redoing the entire map #so gerudo dessert might be flooded #the zora are dealing with all the water in the region having gone through a crack in the earth leading their area to dry up #rito area isnt just snowed in but in an actual blizzard that coated everything in a thick layer of ice #YES ICE PHYSICS WOOHOO #and made them flee maybe into vah medoh whos unfunctional and resting somewhere else #maybe isntead of floating hyrule castle is sunk into the ground .. tho im not so sure on that yet #.... listen theres so much stuff you could do with world to have it have actual changes #what if satoris mountain was half broken and sunk into the ground but the mountain is still there at night like a spiritual footprint #you know #make it actually feel like a big order destroying event has happened!!!

Loki surveilling the skyline of New York from the top of Stark Tower and clocking that his favorite paired set of buildings are gone. sad

#everyone wants thor and loki to have visited earth a bunch of times and obviously they wouldn't be too invested in earth politics #but i think the concept of much time passing between visits should be taken advantage of #like what if one of them missed seeing the statue of liberty on their past 3 visits and now that's 'suddenly' a famous historic landmark #Loki like wow I sure hope that restaurant in the Soviet Union is still around! #and Natasha's head whips around so fast like you mean Russia or one of the surrounding countries that used to be part of the USSR #Loki: uhm. well. what's the difference #Natasha: here is a map of the countries does this help #Loki: it does not help but thank you for trying #Thor: what do you mean Rome is gone???? Rome was HUGE????? #Tony: well it's been a few centuries since then Europe is very different now #Thor: (visibly distressed) so the the sweet effeminate men enjoy the streets no more?? #Tony: ...I don't keep track of foreign border laws about that #Thor shows up after 3 years and there's a new president and he's very confused through the entire meeting #brodinsons being so detached from the political scene but being so used to realm politics they come to correct conclusions about things #even though the timeline and how long things stay the same on midgard still messes with them #Loki: at least Egypt is still around #Thor: China also #Brodinsons visiting New Zealand(Aotearoa)/Australia/various British mandate islands before the British formally showed up #returning 2 centuries later and 'the gene pool has altered drastically' 'must've been a war' #well it's either that or since Asgard seems spared of colorism they treat all humans as the same and don't notice. which might be worse #on the colonisation and liberation side of things

I MISS MY HOUSE I MISS MY FUCKING HOUSE

#looking at Zillow and Google maps trying not to cry that was my house for the first 10 years of my life #and now it doesn't even belong to the people that bought it from us. I don't know who they are!! they're nobody for all I know #like does it ever just hit you. that was my clibming tree and the big limb is gone. that was my dad's pecan tree #that was my butterfly garden and there aren't even roses there anymore #I miss my house so bad the one with the crepe myrtles in the backyard and the blue shed and the ash tree in the front that's gone now #it's not even my house anymore #this is just me rambling and being sad because it's 3 am and I'm so stressed and tired and I need to be. writing. #but I'm sad I just miss it yk even the parts where it was bad. I miss my house I want to go back

I just think that in Aleksander’s eyes, Alina is fucking stupid

#Obviously she’s not cause she’s human and humans make mistakes and have flaws and she’s not immortal or hadn’t lived long enough like he has #I think he also believes that a lot of people are idiots compared to him #What I mean is that he has super high standards that few people can reach and he gets disappointed. Like imagine coming back and finding #Out the fabled sun summoner is just straight up gone and then finding out she ran on her own or that she burned maps cause she didn’t want #To leave her friend and it got her whole team killed accidentally. Or that she deliberately hid her power cause #she didn’t want to split up with her only friend #he wouldn’t like it cause why is she letting her personal feelings impact her decisions he doesn’t do that #even tho it’s pretty common for ppl to do that sometimes #Anyway this is me waving a flag and saying “dear god let him feel other things for Alina besides love” by which one of them is jealousy #Imagine working YEARS trying to achieve your goal and being labeled a heretic for it then you find a newbie who has the fabled sun powers #Which is great for you but she just showed up and everyone is already labeling her a saint simply for this. #She’s hailed as a saint in the hopes of destroying something that YOU created. One of your first interactions #Is her saying she doesn’t want the fabled powers that will hail her as a hero. You’re still labeled a heretic but no one knows that #He’ll still pester her cause he hates being alone more than anything. #The quote “she makes me more human” doesn’t necessarily mean only love as love isn’t the only human emotion there is #shadow and bone #aleksander morozova

hey how's it going I hate Arborstone.

thanks for @mystery-salad for tagging me in this and for @dasozelotvonnebenan for making the tier list! I went and did all maps because I dont feel strongly enough about the central Tyria maps to put any in S tier so. I did this one instead.

D wasn't low enough I made a new spot for Arborstone because it belongs in hell :)

tagging my gf @lackluster-plays mwah

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #as u can see my s tier has only 5 maps and theyre the best ones i will take no criticism #and my d tier has lions arch because i want it destroyed again we need a new one #i hate arbostone i hate it i hate it i want it gone i dont want to be there it SUCKS its HUGE it SUCKS it takes 4 thousand years to load #it has the worst! dialogue! shut up! i dont want to HEAR you tengu!!! #go! away!

I hate when i order something thats near my house and it still takes hour to deliver because the delivery guy is making multiple rounds for one trip🙃🙃

#like if i wanted to eat cooled down food thats been sitting in a box i would have gone to a dumpster but i aint a racoon am iii?? #literally ordering a food that should take 10 min to deliver bc its so close but noo yeah go off king on your adventure who even cares #i understand why they are doing it but also then don't write you are 10 min away on the map bc that doesn't give me anything apparently #ok rants over byee #mine #2023

I only imported this bit from the really old height lineup to get corker's size accurate but I'm really pleased with how consistent I've been able to keep her overall sizing proportions over time :D

#and I've gotten much better at not giving her weirdly proportioned gorilla arms thank god #I was thinking about sketching some updated wardrobe thoughts (if not a new outfit then AT LEAST working in the belt of dwarvenkind) #but now I kinda wanna do a proper ref sheet for her... #new scar map and some of her important items and good luck charms AND full wardrobe #also [cough] since aubree is my OC most often drawn by someone else it's always a good time to reestablish what her body type actually is #and for example how sharply defined her abs and biceps are (none) #AAANYWAY I wanted to think about her wardrobing again cause I told my friend I was getting a LARP Corker #and her response was REN FAIRE DRESS UP??? DO I NEED MY HUSBAND TO MAKE MY SPOOKY SWORD??? SEWING NIGHT????? #and YEAH! YES DUDE!!! FUCK YEAH!!! #but also aubree's current ensemble isn't very Medieval Fantasy fdkjhgkdjf it's VERY hobbitcore #which is fine for HER but 'an ordinary vest' doesn't feel especially ren-faireish as actual dressup you know? #we've gone shopping since the start of the campaign there's room for tweaking #about me #my art #my OCs #aubree

comparison (new on left old on right)

#As you can see i was mainly working ln fixing the distortion on the poles i did get a bittt carried away and add like a ton of oand but its #ok. also i did the math and its sitting at abt 40:60 land water ratio #rly its 41:59 but 40 60 is far easier #ive also still got to add rivers.. i have a few lakes as you can see but i haven't gone through and added rivers yet #ill probably have to do mountains first then rivers.... #ive also been thinking abt making a sideblog solely for worldbuilding posts but im shy LOL so itd probably judt be 4 me #i wouldnt be opposed to sharing it with anybody whos interested i just dont think anybody rly is... #im also working more on the language its kiiiind of rly frustrating me.. #i also have gaught to add a new island in the middle of the ocean bc ive been thinking while at work. but idk if i Actually want to use #those thoughts 4 this or keep them seperate.. whatevrr #but yeah. as mentioned the edits arent perfect yrt theyre kind of difficult to do 😭😭 map to globe doesnt allow you to draw directly On #the globe and the umm. sketch thing they have is kind of rlly annoying #like you can colorpick Once. but after that you have to reload the page to colorpick again #+ the likee. drawing you do on it is super artifacted and weird... + theres no way to just get the finished image idt. i may be wrong #but yes. anyways if i do make the sodeblog i wanna name it after the world but the issue is the world doesnt have a name 💀 #and to make the name i need to work on the primary conlang some more 😭😭😭 but its frustrating me i think its bc i started with the #written form which like. every guide im looking at says you shouldnt do that 💀 #so i might just scrap it and start from the ground up

[eccentriccryptid]

Moms will literally blame everything but themselves and then also cry about it

#I forgot how much I hate being at home #‘why aren’t you going to spend time with us?’ #idk maybe because I did last night and you were fucking mean to me? #like you don’t get to be rude and also entitled to my company #she said earlier this week ‘oh we should play that game from last year on Christmas this year’ #and by that she meant the d&d campaign that I spent weeks on #writing a custom campaign making maps making them each a character sheet and painting minis and making spell cards and inventory packs #plus loads more #and then they decided they’d rather watch football and then were too tired after to play my game #so yeah I was incredibly upset and threw it all away and have no trace of it anymore #and I told her that and she was like ‘what do you mean it’s gone we still have our papers you gave us’ #and I was considering rewriting the campaign but fuck that #I’m not getting my heart broken again by them #anyway this turned into a huge rant #Didn’t mean for it too but I’m just so tired of her bs #and then if you’re ever like ‘hey maybe think about why your kids don’t want to spend time with you’ #it’s the whole ‘obviously I’m a horrible mother I’m just so awful’ and then tears #also I do so much shit for her and hardly get a thank you #last night I spent like a half hour troubleshooting this Christmas light program she made #because something was being weird and I knew it was really important to her #not even one fucking thank you #like you could be a little appreciative but whatever I guess #ugh fuck I’m just over it

Me: I would like to listen to sleep music to wind down and also browse tumblr for a little bit before bed

Spotify and Tumblr: fuck you

#i go onto tumblr and spotify turns off #i go back into spotify for 10 seconds and it has to completely reload #and then tumblr also has to completely reload and turns off spotify in the process #by the way also turning in gps often turns off the music #and then also when i have gps and music on and i turn off the gps bc i know where i'm going now the music goes oh you want me gone too??? #sometimes it also just goes off randomly thanks i hate it #today i had it and gps on and then i did absolutely nothing but the music turned off #i turned it back on went back into the map and it fucking turned off again #fuck u spotify #fuck u fuck u fuck u

My beloved fellow girlboythingfailures, kindly ignore and keep scrolling. I wish good things upon you.

#just had a horrible falling out with one of my parents being a tyrant. ive been wanting to move out for a few years now; but lack of a #fucntional minimum wage and cost of living and housing being what they are make it literally impossible. right now my situation is live with #my parents or be homeless. while i enjoy a lot from living with them; and theyre overall good parents that mean well and try harder than mos #im reaching my fucking limit; to the point of my accelerating my financial map for moving out to an extreme. this isnt the first time theyve #done soemthing resulting in the thought process of “fucking hell if i could move out rn id be gone” but the neurotic explosion ive just deal #with tells me this will be an occurance that becomes more common until i can regain some ground to stand on in the form of the very real #threat if moving out. i hate capitalism; and i dispise the circumstances that have lead to my loved one's behaviors. my therapist has her #work cut out for her this week. anywhozers; gonna begin the “plan to move out: acceleration” today. hopefully ill be able to look back on #this post in the allotted time with success on the horizon and a kinder gentler future ahead. #i wish you all luck in your financial endeavors

renege when magi started off with spectacular pacing and worldbuilding and digestible and memorable political commentary and then went too abstract and tsubasa reservoir chronicle (derogatory). is anyone else mourning that or just me

#just thinking thoughts... #i went back to read its opening chapter a while ago and the only thing that stood out to me as bad was the breasts obsession #everything else was really good... #sorry. thinking abt this because i just started reading shoukoku no altair just now and like #i think it wants to be like midseries magi but is falling short in several aspects #firstly there's not enough love in the backgrounds imo. #the sense of the world isn't good (though i think part of it is due to the scanlators not translating the map labels?!) #but it's just like... it somehow feels generic even though there's a VERY specific time and place they're drawing from #and like the pacing of that first chapter... it's just so close. they didn't need that 1 page spread of mahmut trying to find evidence #if you were going to show that you needed to at least commit to the bit and show his thoughts getting more desperate #if the whole gimmick is that they used the wrong type of feather for the arrow this is how it should have gone. #he looks at the arrow early on (i don't think he looks at it until the end) -> #he starts looking for evidence and asking people around. during this time he is getting visibly desperate -> #at the end of the day he sadly pets his falcon feeling as though he had failed and WHILE HE IS STROKING HIS PET BIRD'S WINGS #he recalls the type of feather on the shaft. that's how it should have gone. #that's how it should have gone. #also since a lot of the words are turkish i think it also introduced too many unfamiliar thoughts names and concepts all at once #like it could have been clearer that pasha was a title and not a surname #i like that all the characters had monikers to help people remember them but again. #too much worldbuilding too fast #it's kind of giving de with the information overload but the key difference in that is #in de infodump is opt-in and not required for the actual plot #i think shoukoku no altair has a built world but everyone already knows how it works and it wouldn't make narrative sense #to explain it in depth through the dialogue #anyways. it IS interesting reading it because it's like. ALMOST there. #i anticipate it getting better rather than worse

ppl who dont look up the route right before they leave to go somewhere r crazy

#look if it's your daily commute and you just dont bother aight #but if you think you know the way bro.....the track work and delays! how can you do such a thing! #last week i realized id gone to a station without looking up the best route home #like it's situational bc i was semibailing on the night so i wanted to get to the train an ave away and get out in case the lil group walke #back my way but fr i'll always do a quick map to home to see how it's saying to get somewhere #like half the trains in the city can be down u cant just go somewhere without checkin if you have means to right #somehow we got by not ever knowing if the train was gonna show up! in the olden days. #do ya ever just look down the tunnel to see if the train that's 1 min away is arriving. it used to be the only way to knowwwww #text post #transiting

Still would love to some day make my ultra depressing minecraft horror map where you go explore a cave, but at some point a piston wall seamlessly closes behind you once you're out of ear shot (at a junction so it becomes a wall rather than a dead end to hide this fact)

At which point it's just a slow miserable decent, interspersed with hopeful things that look like the way you came in and start leading back to familiar looking areas, only to begin to descend again

More doors silently shutting behind you as you're slowly herded from the bright lush tree lined caves, till you find yourself in the dull grey abyss with only dim lichen light, just enough to keep ever block at 1 light level, and yet another door closing behind you so all you can do is walk circles in the lifeless dank caverns, trapped forever

No actual danger, at most named zombies off in the walls to make noises at you, but mostly a subterranean labyrinth meant to very slowly make you realize just how trapped you are

Great map idea, it's mostly a matter of that even in creative it would take a long time

#watching a clip of someone playing lethal company and calling out for their friends in the dark when everyone's gone reminded me #like if you want the mood that I want to evoke #if I do it right I manage to drip feed just enough hope to make it as hopeless and crushing as possible #not even out of any malice; but that's because what this map is meant to be #maybe at the end of the map I'll make the only bit of two high water so they can slowly drown if they want #which will be the good end that sends them to a cheery little room to respawn in that's like #'congratz on completing my bleak map! this is what I enjoy in horror; just total despair and isolation' #maybe a 'press this block to go to spectator mode so you can see how I cheated and closed things behind you' #but again... time
