#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Sans #Papyrus #Asgore #Always with memories/lack of memories being distressing! How memories shape action interests me quite a lot #Papyrus and Sans both have the ''this has been on me since forever so it's normal'' outlook on the plates #Defensive when other people get concerned about their lack of concern haha <3 #But what if ♪ #Honestly probably could be set anywhere but I wanted Papyrus to be worried for Sans' safety and not fully know why <3 #Lots of very I don't know why I know this but I'm not happy about it haha #Can you tell I didn't use references for this from Asgore's outfit and the boys being on the opposite sides lol #It was very fun to draw them being carried haha ♥ Asgore's gigantic hands #Teeny tiny babies even still haha #In case it's unclear - Sans is looking at Asgore's text in the second panel and putting two and two together about his hand plate #That was a point of curiousity for me while I was reading :0 All the other text Gaster uses to communicate is WingDings! #All the papers he has the boys do and obviously his native font to speak haha #Wondered briefly if it was perhaps that distancing thing I mentioned a bit back in reference to ZEX actually haha #Like swearing in a different language - a way to not claim the action as his own in some small sense #Or perhaps as reference to their fonts being in that alphabet? I wonder! #I love their little interactions in how they look out for each other even in small ways <3 #Papyrus concerned of course! Falling is dangerous! It'll be more obvious why later but this is emotionally a very strong and real feeling! #And Sans wants to do anything he can to not make his brother sad ♥ #It'll all turn out okay you two 💕

as a writer, i feel absolutely zero sympathy for richard madoc. you're really telling me this dumbass's plan was to sit down and have a novel just pour out of him from start to finish. man had two whole years to write a novel and he didn't even have an ATTEMPT at an outline. 70% of his problems could have been solved if he just sat down and brainstormed a simple outline first and the other 30% came from locking a goddess in his house. he didn't need calliope he needed a goddamn writing 101 course

#title tbc by me #oh he had no ideas tho #that's like the FIRST thing they teach you #when he wrote at the top in arial font and that was it i fucking lost my mind #before you write a WORD of your novel get a basic ass outline #and don't give me the bit cause like. that's ALSO the point of an outline #you throw shit at the page until it sticks and develop from there #THEN you start writing the actual book #how are you lecturing about writing when you clearly don't know what the fuck you're doing #he dodged the question in the beginning about his process because he doesn't have one #richard madoc #ric madoc #sandman #sandman netflix #the sandman

Okay now that I have a few more followers who watch Buffy I need you all to know that for Christmas my roommate made me a version of the "Balls." poster in Riley's room. It's literally my favourite piece of set dressing in the entire world I am so obsessed with it and I am delighted to now have the privilege of owning a version of it.

#dylan says things #btvs #Like. The font. “Balls.” the fucking jpeg images of balls on a flat white background. #the bottom text i didn't know existed until i actually got the gift. #fr though i do think it's an interesting piece of set dressing because it's like. emblematic of Riley as a character just being like “boy” #they were putting together Riley's room and someone was like 'what poster should we have on the wall?' #and everyone realized that Riley had no interests or passions or character of his own #and they were like. 'well he's a boy. boys like... sports ball? and ball joke?' #and then they put this shit together #anyways. also very funny that like the only piece of buffy merch i own (unless you count the dvds) is riley related. #the character i spend the least amount of time thinking about

so like i want to talk more abt what suicidal means but the problem is "suicidal ideation presents in two general forms, active and passive. the thing most people think of as suicidal is the active version, where the person *actively* desires to be dead and/or is making a plan to get there. the passive form however gets almost no attention in media so many people experiencing it are unaware they are even depressed, much less passively suicidal. some examples: not wanting to experience death but feeling like you wouldn't mind if you didn't wake up tomorrow or just stopped existing; feeling deeply exhausted with just the entire concept of being alive; even feeling like you want to run away, change your name, and start a whole new life; none of these look like suicidal ideation to most people because they don't involve actively doing anything to get from point a to point b, especially the more abstract ones like the start a new life thing - but remember that in order to truly start a whole new life, you have to destroy your current one. it's not suicidal as in wanting to actually DIE die, it's just. wanting something close enough to scratch the itch. but just because you haven't booked the ticket doesn't mean you don't still revisit the 'vacation activities at point b' tab occasionally to daydream, yknow?" is i think very informative and specific, but its also quite long and run on-y so people are v likely to tap out like a third of the way through it, whereas "suicidal doesnt necessarily mean wanting to die" is way shorter and therefore catchier, but is also the kind of nonspecific phrasing that gets you a thousand angry anons about how you said all suicidal people are just pretending they actually want to die or some dumb shit. so it's a fun line to toe

#especially when youre far too lazy to dig up sources however if u google passive suicidal theres a lot of info #pretty front and center altho you will get jumpscared by the size 1000 font suicide hotline number #or maybe you wont but i sure was. why was it so big #in this house we simply post both as part of another hashtag relatable post in the hopes that the two for one bargain #will entice viewers to read the whole thing and go 'wait but /i/ feel like that what do you mean' #and then make a meta joke about it in the tags so the viewers think we're hip and cool #nah but seriously i see ppl not knowing abt this . so much and every time im like !!!!!!! no youre not crazy youre not supposed #to feel like this!!!! #so its one of the things where im like nah idc if im being annoying abt this as long as i hit the one (1) todays lucky 10000 who needs it #this one i dont remember seeing on any articles but id like to propose also that having trouble imagining your future can count too #and like obviously all of these have exceptions right like. ppl can just want to start a whole new life for non suicidal reasons #but if theres a pattern of these things or you find yourself being drawn back to one over and over again thats #when you should start being like ok somethings afoot #like the imagining ur future one you could easily have trouble visualizing things or even just Not Be Especially Imaginative #...or... it could be that deep down you dont feel like you /have/ one so your brain just. steers away from the subject entirely #and ykno. knowing which one it is is usually pretty helpful LOL #anyways. sorry theres no paragraph breaks i could not for the life of me figure out a good spot for them #/suicide #/suicide mention #/suicidal ideation #/depression #/death mention #and of course i think also like a lot of things this is more of a spectrum than a binary like obviously 'run away and #start a new life' is def a bit less active than 'id be ok w it if i didnt wake up tomorrow' but theyre still both on the lassive side #passive* #eugh im rambling now and not even in the slightly contained way the post itself is #im hitting post without rereading for the 40th time otherwise ill remember another tangent so if theres #any errors left my apologies

okay look

fuck. you have so many achingly beautiful works and convey such a wonderful scope of emotions in your stories.

i am enraptured, constantly, by the way you're able to write the characters. nothing (nobody) feels out of place. in fact, it all feels remarkably *right*.

like so many of your words feel like the pieces of the puzzle falling, ever so gently, into place whether it's an au or a seamless offering of what the show never gave us (but should have).

so, sincerely – thank you for writing the breath back into my lungs when life feels like it is drowning me.

(it's stupid late and this is probably a mess, but i'm trying to be better about expressing my gratitude for those that offer comfort through their art)

AAAAAAAAA wow guys thank!!!!! it’s just a silly little fic about being horny but also handling/caring for one another at their lows but it’s close to my heart so it makes me h*ppy to hear all this

#never thought i'd write a long fic again but here we are already on almost 100k words #heart warm & i'm just really thankful - it's mostly thanks to you guys who encourage & keep me going 😩 #also makes me believe more in myself & in my skills to write not just like fluff but also some deeper complicated messy feelings that #a character experiences & being able to get that across to the readers & make them think 'oh i relate/understand why she's feeling that way #& seeing kara for example; who's always at her best (or at least she tries to be cause that's what's expected of her) #& then the rare times she's at her lows #in canon we saw kara going out all her way in many diff fonts to show that she'll always be there for lena even when lena's at her lowest #& i just wanted to write something showing the same done for kara #& trying to do like a 'if you can handle me at my worst i can worship you at my best' thing #@anon who asked about if it's coming to an end; the fic is close to the end yeah there's just a bit more to go!! #also @physical book anon......... Bro (with a lot of feeling) #anyway thank you guys again so much i'm busting a massive heart nut!!!!!! #hope you're all having a lovely day #asks

Sorry if this question is too broad or imposing but I'm trying to get into modding Fallout 4 for the first time, mostly to make armor skins. What're the best tutorials? I've tried searching online but a lot of the tutorials are outdated. (Would also love to know how to bash existing skins together though modelling my own would be fun too). Again sorry for this ask I'm just so lost about how to get into modding lol.

Ahhh do not apologize for asking me about modding fallout. I could talk about the guts of this stupid game all day ahhh

modding grip^

Unfortunately I...don't know any good tutorials. I think a lot of Fo4 modders came over already knowing skyrim or FNV. Most of what I know is based on outdated guides, old loverslab threads, my existing graphic design knowledge, and trial-and-error. I think armour is the best place to start because there are so many tools available (thanks tittymodders!), and you don't have to worry about needing 3DS Max for collisions or animations.

This is the only modding tutorial I've ever watched. It's old, but good to show you a proper workflow and how to set up your files. They use creation kit, but if you're just making armour its way easier to use xEdit. I don't even have the ck installed, I do everything in xEdit.

This is an excellent guide to outfit conversions. It gets pretty in depth, but you really don't need to bother with the dismemberment section if it's just for you. It's for FG reduced but you can use it as a general guide for weighting anything for any body and getting your modded outfit game ready.

Texture edits and outfit conversions are where I started and are probably the easiest. The best thing to do is just poke around mods you like and see how they do it.

Some tools:

xEdit: Plugin editor for creation engine games. If you're doing any kind of modding you should learn how to use this. Esl-flagging, running complex sorter, making bashed patches and making your own compatibility patches are skills you need if you want to run a heavily modded game.

Icestorms texture toolbox: the best texture tool, i use the "batch processing" tab at the end to convert .png (no alpha) and .tga (alpha) files to .dds.

Nvidia texture tools exporter: lets you open .dds file in photoshop with the alpha channel intact. You don't need a nvidia card, I'm all team red. Don't bother using this to export unless you have to, its slow as fuck.

Sagethumbs: Gives .dds files thumbnails in windows explorer.

IrfanView: For quickly viewing texture files without launching photoshop. Also an excellent general image viewer.

Bethesda Archive Extractor: Crack open those .ba2 files and get to the goods.

Material Editor: What it says on the tin, lets you edit Fo4 and Fo76 material files. These are like containers that have the paths to all your textures and how they are to be shaded to attach to .nif files.

NifSkope: View and edit .nif files. Dev 7 is the recommended, but Dev 8 can open Fo76 meshes if you want to backport those.

Outfit Studio: Even if you don't use body replacers, this is an incredible tool for editing and weighting meshes. If you're making armour you need this. This is also where I make most of my mashups: you can pull parts from different outfits, slap them together, and export them quickly and easily.

Blender: It's free and it works. Learning to navigate this is going to be your biggest hurdle but it's worth it, trust me. Thankfully blender has a huge community and hundreds of tutorials. This is where I make my hi poly models and do all my retopo/uvs. I also prefer to use blender to edit meshes because it has more robust editing tools.

PyNifly: What I use to import/export .nif files from blender.

Fo4 is made in the 2013 version of 3DS Max and the havok content tools but i haven't bothered to pirate that yet. You don't need it for armour anyways.

I'm sorry this is so long and rambly. If you have a more specific question I might be more helpful ha.

#asks #fallout #fallout 4 #long post #fighting to keep this short i will not infodump i will not infodump i will no- ah fuck i did it. sorry. #i got into modding by editing existing textures that weren't up to my standard #and then making outfit conversions for bt3 because almost nobody was back then #i have been basically banging my head into my computer for the last year trying to learn what little i do know #yeah i know fuck adobe but nothing is better than photoshop. just pirate it. its always morally correct to steal from adobe. #i pay for it though because i actually use adobe fonts/cloud and i am a clown #i know it sounds silly but all the best technical advice is on loverslab. just..bring an adblock..and dont open that site in public lol #please do not be scared to ask me things i want everyone to be able to mod this hell game #the best thing about fo4 is that its made of legos so you can easily pull it apart and put it back together however you want #i had never touched a 3d program before i started modding fallout last year you can do it anon! i am the monkey with a typewriter of mods #typing this with blender outfit studio and mo2 open in the background mod author sigma grindset #ive thought about making some tutorials but i have both a lisp and a stutter...that would be brutal. maybe some text ones. #god im so normal about this game

I think BG3 is one of the few games that has actually done complex morality well. Not necessarily in the choices you can make. I think most of those are pretty cut and dry. More in, like . . . What degree of responsibility do some of the companions bear for past actions, if any? What degree of responsibility does a durge bear? What about the Absolutists under the Elder Brain's sway? When you get down into the details of the branching stories / lore, there's a lot that leaves you with something to think about.

#OOC / HOLLY. #I don't mean things that are like 'is it bad to do a wrong thing for a right reason?' #not that that isn't a good question but even in that instance the wrong thing is still the wrong thing regardless of motivation #I just mean like. how much responsibility does a person bear when they're in a situation #where they literally don't have free will / their free will can be overridden in a nanosecond #I do think BG3 is a game that questions not only the nature of evil but what evil even is #as well as the nature of good and what even is good #it doesn't necessarily answer those questions — not definitively — and I appreciate that tbh #I think the best stories leave you with something to think about #and these are questions that will never be cut and dry #that have always been debated and will always be debated #anyway. I like it. and I like that we have not only minor characters but companions and protag options #who have a wide assortment of outlooks and codes of ethics. we don't get the same people parroting the same ideals in different fonts #and you can agree with them or challenge them or simply change the topic #I like too that they often have unexpected or unpopular thoughts on a matter #you get into a rut where every media has the characters respond to something x way #sometimes BG3 plays into that and sometimes it doesn't #the decision truly seems based more on who the character is as opposed to pandering to the audience #it's a game that encourages you to think not only about creative solutions but about more complex philosophical questions #not only that it rewards you for getting creative and unorthodox and challenging what's in place #something that most games discourage if not punish or completely forbid #not that this game is perfect mind you. I can think of several things I find questionable at the minimum #but it's extremely refreshing to have a game that wants you to think rather than merely follow bait on a string

the 20 dollar pair of throwaways I got for my sister's wedding were perfect for the like 7 hours I got them for but are really not perfect for like anything else ever

#i mean the WERE 20 dollars thats how it works but ya know #ive had to use them while walking around to do errands and not gonna lie wish i hadnt tossed the old busted pair #they were pretty far past done for but these things have given me. SO many blisters and i kinda just gotta keep goin #woulda taken the duct tape pair. shoulda just kept the duct tape pair #i seriously need to get some actual nice walking shoes but that would necessitate having more than 50 dollars at one point ever #and im outta weed lmao i had to bust out the emergency stash from the junk drawer #you know cause i get to where im sleeping and the ouch oof ache of my badshoes leaves me wanting a poofer choofer #its a cycle but ive been in worse cycles #if my mental health were also at an especially low point during all this i dont even KNOW what id be doing lol #i walkked. over 17 miles the other day in a haze of self harm after more bullshit happened and lost my wallet during the walk. #not a fun 6 miles of backtracking. drank outta someones hose once and the river twice to stave the clearly onsetting dehydration. didnt die! #found the wallet. drank maybe more water than i ever have in one moment when i passed the library and absorbed their entire drinking font #anyway my legs/knees were ruined and i almost sent myself to the hospital again cause i cant make bad decisions normal i get weird about it #but hey if a very specific set of circumstances fall into place maybe i wont be broke and just generally all around unwell goin forward #heres hoping it does before student loan payments roll round again lol

me white-knuckling the kitchen sink: i won't say anything i wouldn't want repeated in a running report, not everything that makes me tick needs to be commented on, may g,d or whoever grant me the serenity to ignore stupid stupid stupid human beings, etc., etc, etc.

#silver jelly #i was thinking earlier about this wooden plaque thing that my deacon grandmother had in the house growing up that had what i thought was #the serenity prayer. upon googling it a few years ago it turns out that it was not; it was uh. a different prayer. #i think it's called the morning prayer? it's the 'nothing is going to happen to me today that you and i together can't handle' one #(except the font was like that old English looking mf so up until googling it i thought it was 'you and 2 together' idk why i never #questioned it i guess bc of like. the father/son/holy ghost thing?? anyway.) #here's the thing though she did actually have the serenity prayer in the house as well. it was just the *ceramic* decoration; not the #wood one. though i did look at that one a lot too. #anyway i guess i'm thinking a lot about making your space reflect your values. and how that can mean literally but also not. #like i think the wooden plaque is fundamentally the same as the prayer candles on my vanity. #i'm decorating my boudoir. my parents are coming next week. how do i make this space look like mine. #and also; what environmental reminders can i provide myself that direct my attention away from uhh. irritating individuals. #what's the emo version of the serenity prayer lmao (it may very well be the gway prayer candle)

sometimes comic writing is silly in that “they’re all shooting off one-liners while they punch each other” but the thing is when its done badly you NOTICE. the reaction isn’t "oh yeah i guess this is media for children but also this is spider-man.” when its done badly the response is a) about five seconds trying to understand what the joke is meant to be, b) a slightly baffled “is that meant to be... funny?” and then c) they would NOT say that they would NOT

#lily dot tee ex tee #that one post about incorrect quotes but it really applies to comics writing in general #reading AXIS now. god knows why. but loki's here and he is really not loki #like u cant write the line 'that's the kind of oversight that gets you uninvited from fondou parties' #and then slap that in the fucking asgardian font #like thats just WRONG #also the central idea of this series is 'all of your favourite characters are acting completely out of character' #i dread to think of how the tie-ins handle this #iron man looks interesting and i've read the loki aoa one and those two do INTERESTING things with the ida #like 'iron man reverting back to before he got character development' #and 'loki being heroic makes him a dick and drives away all of his friends and if this is the only time he's considered worthy #then what is that actually worth' #but like. oh no the x men are fighting again. oh no captain america is evil. oh no havoc and wasp broke up. sad. cry. #marvel #616
