I think the portrayal of Spider-Man 2099 in Across the Spider-Verse is in-character in that aside from like Shattered Dimensions he's always been portrayed as a bit of an asshole who slips into anti-hero territory at times and generally has a "needs of the many over the needs of the few" mindset and given his specific circumstances in the movie it's not unreasonable to think he could take the actions he does. However it does kinda suck that since like 99% of moviegoers had no idea who he was before the movie came out their first impression of him is when he's in an antagonistic role and people think "antagonist" and "villain" are synonyms so now I'm gonna have to listen to people who've never read a comic saying he's a villain or isn't a real Spider-Man for the rest of time or at least until he inevitably changes his mind in the third one.
#hell you don't even need to read a comic just look up a let's play of spider-man edge of time you'll get what i mean#but yeah i saw a post that was like#''the first movie had a joke about how spider-man doesn't wear a cape and miguel has a cape they did that to show he's not spider-man''#as if he hasn't had that cape since his creation 30 fucking years ago#he's not even the only spider-man to have one. spider-man unlimited is also a thing that exists.#even the first movie had that call-back joke where they see the peter from miles's universe had a suit with a cape#these movies have a lot of little details with deeper meanings but the cape thing just isn't one of them sorry#but yeah. play edge of time or find it on youtube it's good.#shattered dimensions is also good but miguel's personality in that game is closer to peter's for some reason#so edge of time is better for getting a feel of what he's usually like#but yeah i do think spider-verse miguel was probably more straightforwardly heroic like other versions before the whole dead family thing#and i think he and the rest of the spider society are just genuinely misguided about how the whole canon event thing works#cause like george and gwen don't die in every universe peter doesn't get the symbiote in every universe#even uncle ben doesn't die in every universe#but miguel THINKS those things always happen. that's why he got the others to believe it cause he genuinely believes it himself#and i think they all take comfort in the idea that these bad things that happen to them happen for a reason#i know that's josh keaton's interpretation for why spectacular peter joined and i don't disagree with it#that's also why i disagree with people saying that miles is The Only True Spider-Man There just cause he was the first to outright reject it#look me in the fucking eye and tell me spectacular peter and insomniac peter don't understand what it means to be spider-man#or actually don't cause i'll bitch slap you into next week if you do#miguel o'hara#marvel#shut up tristan

How you'd rewrite Dishonored death of the outsider if it was fully fledged game with 10 missions? (like Dishonored or Dishonored 2)
Oooh!! Enrichment in my enclosure - thank you for asking! Thinking about a total rewrite was a great exercise. Fair disclaimer: I haven’t read the books & their canon-status can’t hurt me. To me, the Dishonored games stand out due to their immsim design philosophy, and thinking about some of the industry reasons for DotO’s departure from that, if I could make a standalone game with ~ten levels I would, but with the same budget I’d also happily make two DLCs made slowly over a longer timeframe with greater attention to detail.
Game structure
Finding Daud // Billie’s past
The fate of the Outsider // Billie’s future
Game story
Setting & Characters
Billie: What has Billie been doing since she’s returned to Serkonos? Knowing the Dreadful Wale will sink, she’s sold it for scrap & has set up an agency in Lower Aventa. She’s something of a detective/odd-jobs man (& assassin when it suits her). Business is booming, life is good. I think a long-running implication that she's becoming Daud in some ways would make for an interesting subplot.
Karnaca: a city that unfolds. In the first levels, Billie feels like a forgotten woman, a ghost slipped through the cracks, but as levels progress there are hints & references to how her past actions have affected others & shaped the city
Alignments: Witches, gangs, religion, industry; missions for clients who can’t necessarily pay their way. Missions that allow the player to explore/understand Karnaca in a deeper way.
Daud: Billie is unsure if Daud again will bring her any closure. She’s been thinking of him since her time with Emily, and his name keeps popping up.
Deirdre: the charm is a more functional heart, similar to Jessamine, as well as her own character design. Perhaps she doesn’t see Deirdre until she chooses the powers, or until she’s in the void (see next point)
First arc: Finding Daud // Billie’s past
Powers: the Outsider offers Billie powers even though her life is finally, actually good, so she’s pissed off. A choice - she can take them, or play no powers mode.
Breanna Ashworth is this arc’s villain - she wants Delilah back, and knows that Daud has banished her before, wants to know how he did it. Grief & desperation has changed her, and she no longer has her high society veneer. The remnants of the Karnaca coven, now powerless, have stolen from the Overseers to arm themselves to the teeth, and to neutralise Daud’s powers, in addition to black bonecharms.
Billie’s in a race against time against Breanna to find Daud, but by the last level it becomes clear that Breanna *has* found Daud, and has been torturing him for information about the void. Her dynamic with Billie is complicated by their past.
I think betrayal would be an interesting theme, so maybe one of the levels gives you the option to ally yourself with Breanna under false pretences.
Second arc: choosing the fate of the Outsider // Billie’s future
Delilah is the core villain, but she’s obsessed with killing the Outsider so she can take his place, having been violently ripped from her perfect world in her own painting by Breanna (who meant well), & knowing the Empire doesn’t hold her interest... but a perfectly mouldable void & infinite power does take her fancy.
As remorseful Daud is obsessing about preventing Delilah from taking power, Billie’s doing some detective work and learns more about the Outsider (he’s not showing up and monologuing - she’s finding this out herself. A level idea could be a raid on a ‘haunted’ houses where the void is thin)
Delilah succeeds in taking the Outsider's place, leaving the Outsider dead or mortal depending on if you are able to save him. Delilah has split her soul from herself before and she’s very much clever enough to learn the Outsider’s name to render him mortal.
Daud knows he’s dying, though, and it might be an ultimate sacrifice to save both Billie’s life, and the Outsider’s.
So during the final battle, there’s an option to make Daud the Outsider, because Daud wants Billie and the Outsider to have a shot at a normal life, and his life was forfeit in his own mind…
… or, reluctantly accepting the Outsider’s help, Billie finds a way to cut the void’s access to the world, rendering Delilah an all powerful god over a dead & silent world.
Because of the past/present focus of this you could even have levels set in the past - missions with Billie & Daud. Perhaps Billie as POV character, and Daud dropping by the way that Billie did in Knife of Dunwall. That’d be neat.
A heap of ideas here, hope there was something you liked :)

So... Uh... Remember how I said something about "Inktobertale only truly ending in our hearts if we let it end??" Well, about that-
I'M SORRY, MAN. But eeey, as far as I can tell, tumblr doesn't have strict time stamps of when something was posted. >:) So we can just pretend I posted this in October hehe. (Unless tumblr absolutely does have time stamps of when something was posted and I am just completely hopeless as an individual-)

✧˖°.Ta-da✧˖°. A drawing that I s t a r t e d back in early September, then went on to not touch again for months. It's so funny. I don't draw for months, but the very instant I begin drawing again, I complete a drawing in one freaking day. I AM G R E A T. I AM NOT LOSING MY MIND, I'M F I N E-
So, congrats, yippee, I am not dead. :D Hi, hello, how have you all been doing, I've been doing g r e a t, the same picture of mental stability I always have been-
Here's a version without the filter; I'm practicing with my "filter" stuff to see if I can get better and actually do the stuff I want to do ;_;

Laceys Games and Valle Verde are so criminally underrated it's a real shame. I consume a lot of digital horror/arg content but truthfully those two are the best I've seen besides classic Petscop. The way they weave their narratives and their aesthetics are truly phenomenal. One of the reasons Petscop got so big when it did is because there was nothing really like it. I think the same can be said for both Lacey and Valle Verde, I wish there were more people who appreciated just how insanely good they both are. But, I suppose, it is always fun to be "niche"

Okay, so being at home (and ill!) has given me some time to organize my thoughts ahead of time for 2024, because I want to clean house a little bit across the board. Consider this a little informative post that'll simultaneously function as my to-do list to complete by the end of the year. In essence, I've seen the phrase 'do what makes you happy' enough times in the last year and a half to two years, that I think it's time for my donkey-level stubborn self to finally listen to it. So I'm going to do just that, and also, I'm going to clean house. In order of importance, where you'll find me most commonly, and what I'll work on getting up and running, this is the game plan:
Yelan: This one will hold most of my priority by a landslide. Fontaine, let's go. Kafka: I have numerous starters/replies/meta and replies waiting, and these are not on hold out of disinterest; I simply need to organize/give into my priorities. Kafka is near and dear to me, but Genshin as a whole is more my home than Star Rail. Bear with me, I have every intention of running her alongside Yelan). Me at self: Old theme/resources blog (x) needs urgent work.
And then, I have the secondary game-plan:
— Guizhong: She'll return, but I'm, very sadly, in a little bit of a mental lock here. Stay tuned! — Zhongli: This is the big surprise, I suppose. I'm finally giving in. He may not come very soon as my current focus very much lies with Yelan in specific, but especially when Lantern Rite 2024 inevitably hits, I know the tears will fall, my heart will warm and I will be a mess. There were a plethora of reasons as to why I never made him, but— times and things change, friends are joining the Genshin crew (hi Lottie, I love you) and now, there's so much reason to. Besides, how can I not write the man who's kept the dream alive? Stay tuned x2.

hard not to feel alittle depressed about how difficult it is to find other black trans girls on here. and if i do its either violence, desperately needing money (myself included), or white girls in black clothing. i just want to see us happy. see us at all even, alive, safe and okay. its really tiring being in a space where the only time im acknowledged is in political debate, chastity porn or us being homeless/murdered

i teach this kid usually twice a week and he's a bit of an asshole sometimes, but we're slowly building up a relationship and his writing is really improving and it's genuinely such a joy to see. i told him yesterday that i was really enjoying reading his writing as it became more detailed and he asked if that was a good or a bad thing so i told him that it was a really good thing, i liked what he was writing and that he was becoming much more clear in it and it was cool to be able to see his writing form. and this kid, this fucking kid trying not to look pleased because that's uncool i guess, but the excitement and pride and happiness that crept into his voice after that, it's one of the most beautiful things about teaching

ignoring the usual characters ("sold yourself") i am always saying deadass sex worker enjolras is realer than you think because of this reason. if he's been cut off by his rich parents and wants to dedicate as much time as possible to the cause, then he's sex working.
if you guys knew how many real world grassroots social and political movements were and currently are majority funded by sex workers, either donating their money or their time, both of which is paid for by doing sex work.

starting to have a way of processing my reaction for when i see what i call 'shallow hearts for shallow minds' takes on here like. do you not know how when you don't feel something at the time it catches up with you later? do we not understand the cumulative nature of nervous system stress and how. sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. sometimes getting better isn't about being happy, it's about feeling things as they come rather than trying to force yourself to be happy. making choices that will lead to the most happiness, even if they're painful at the time. i won't know exactly where an artist is at, neither do you, but I can trust that they're making the kind of decisions that are a step forward in self care in times where I see something that looks familiar and i'm like. i think i've been there. i know it doesn't make so much sense to everyone, but, that's what the fandom's for right?

Hi Pia
I think i remember you saying once that you read bl comics / manwha and was wondering what sites you use? I've been to a number of sites but all of the english 'translations' are nonsensical and make no sense. I honestly think they just feed the text into google translate instead of hiring people who actually know english. But I still really want to read them.
Could you recommend where I can read bl manwha with legitimate English translation?
I would really appreciate it. Thank you
Hi anon!
So you have two choices.
The first is that you pay for licensed BL and Manhwa on sites like Tappytoons, Lezhin and similar for professionally done English translations. There's a metric fuckton of them. It can get expensive fast, but there's usually hacks to increase the amount of coins you can spend for free, though you will still have to generally pay to keep up with more than one at a time.
The second is that you use illegal sites. I am not - for what should be really obvious reasons - going to tell you where / what they are. What I will say is that English translations on illegal sites are often fan-made and so are very hit and miss. For example, organisations like Zinfandel are famously terrible (and do plug into translators), and then you have other translators who are extremely professional and in some cases better than the official translations. In that, it's hit/miss, you get what you don't pay for, basically, and you have to be willing to sort through what you're looking at.
Obviously I'm not going to tell you where to find options in the second category - if you want legitimate translation, you have to pay for it, either through purchasing hard-copy BL manga (i.e. paperbacks), or purchasing coins and episodes through official websites. Alternatively, you can request published English BLs like Doukyuusei by Asumiko Nakamura through your library.
If you want legitimate translations, you go to legitimate places, it's really that simple.

2, 5, and 18 fort the artist asks?
(artist asks)
2 and 5 answered here and here!!
18. What are you currently trying to improve on?
oh my god time management holy shit i just spent literally 2 weeks with poor sleep and doing my homework at dumb hours and last minute and it was the worst, i woke up today at 8:30am after spending all night working on homework for a class at 10:30am today. i went to bed at 7am. i regret it. but also i don't because i got my work done and now i probably will pass that class. i never want to do that again. all of my homework is drawing. at least my drawings are sexy as fuck but holy shit at what cost, i need to have better time manageme--
anyways that's not what the question is asking. there's two things!!! im trying to improve on my speed at which i draw, and like. getting things on the page instead of just like. thinking about about it Really HardTM. i've been getting much much better at Just Drawing lately and im super proud of myself!!!
in terms of actual drawing type things, im trying to get better at comic paneling and flow!! like. how to make a comic/illustration be readable and still interesting to look at!!! or even WONDERFUL to look at!!! im doing pretty decent at making a piece be readable, and preventing the viewer from looking at the wrong panel at the wrong time, but im still working out how to direct the eye around the page and make it fun while doing so. i think it's just a matter of using the negative and positive spaces constructively to make something that looks REALLY really cool, but i haven't super been able to put it into practice effectively yet. im working on it!!!!
