Mixed Musings
Side-blog for my ramblings, replies etc and reblogging stuff of interest.
Mostly personal and OC related, currently might dust it off a little and toss in some fandom-related stuff into the mix.
It exists primarily so I won't spam my followers with randomness - so don't follow unless you're fine with that ;)

#Somehow it never sinks in for me that people might indeed remember me or my artwork#and care for it enough to a point of bringing it up on their own volition or in situations that don't involve me directly#It's so kind and flattering but my dummy brain somehow finds it so hard to comprehend - every time it happens I am always suprised#Thank you thank you thank you

Me: I really love this character! They honestly deserved so much better in canon. They're kind of a comfort character for me lol
My brain for some fkin reason: *frequently envisions horrifyingly painful deaths for the characters that I am unable to prevent*
#all of this and also: *recreates them in depressing soulsborne games and makes them fight horrors beyond human comprehension*#but hey at least they can win now

More often than not I’ll crack into a sprawling fantasy series and, while I appreciate the luscious descriptions of furniture, landscapes, and clothing, all I’m focused on is that I don’t actually know how this world works. I only know what it looks like.
Including some functionality to your universe can add to immersion and give your reader a strong foundation on which to build their mental model of your universe.
You certainly don’t need to use all of these questions! In fact, I recommend against that, as all of these certainly won’t make it into your final draft. I personally find that starting my worldbuilding off with 5 to 10 functional questions helps pave the way for glittery and elaborate aesthetic development later on.
How is the healthcare funded in your world?
How does healthcare functionally differ between the wealthy and the poor? (i.e. can only the wealthy go to hospitals? do poor families often have to rely on back-alley procedures?)
Where are health centers (i.e. hospitals, small clinics, etc.) organized in your cities?
Does it differ in smaller towns?
How does this affect people’s ability to get healthcare?
Is healthcare magical, and if it is, how does that affect the healthcare system?
If healing is instantaneous, how does that affect people’s views on injury, illness, and chronic ailments?
If you have both magical and physical healthcare, which one is deemed superior and how does that affect society?
What illnesses are common in your world?
How does this affect daily life?
What do the people in your world think illnesses are?
Is it a miasma theory?
Humor theory?
Demons?
Do they know about biological viruses and bacteria?
How does this affect healthcare?
How do people get water?
Is the water sanitary and if not, how do they sanitize it?
How does agriculture work?
Is it large corporations or individual farms?
What sort of agricultural technology exists in your world and how does it affect food production?
Are farmers wealthy or poor?
What sort of natural resources does your world/country(ies) have and how are they obtained?
How does this affect the average wealth of the country?
How does this wealth affect the culture?
What livestock or beasts of burden are most valued? Least valued? Why?
What is considered a luxury good vs. a regular good?
What forms of transportation does your world have?
What classes use what forms of transportation?
How far has the average citizen traveled, given your transportation limitations?
Which cities are the most accessible and which are the least? Why?
How do popular transportation methods change how cities/towns are laid out?
Does your world have public transportation? What is it?
Is there a coming-of-age aspect to travel?
Describe your world’s postal system or whatever equivalent there is.
Who pays for it?
How reliable is it?
Are there emergency methods for transporting information?
How does your world keep time (i.e. watches, sundials, water clock, etc.)?
Does your world have a currency system, barter system, or something else?
If you have multiple countries, do different currencies have different values across said countries?
How does this affect travel?
Do you have banks in your world and if so, how are they run?
Who owns the banks? Government? Wealthy? How does this affect the economy and/or class system?
How does credit operate in your universe?
Does your world operate more on big corporations or small business? Something in between?
How are workers/labourers treated in your world?
Are there workers unions and if so, what are common views on unions?
Describe your tax system. If you don’t have a tax system, explain why and how your world is affected by that.
Can certain social classes not own property, certain livestock, certain businesses, etc.? Why?
How are business records kept? Are business records kept?
If your world has technology, does your world prioritize developing entertainment tech, communications tech, transportation tech or something else entirely?
What does this say about your world?
How does this affect your economy?
To the closest approximation, what type of government does your world have?
How are rulers/presidents/nobles put in place?
How much power does an individual ruler have?
Is there a veto process?
If you have multiple countries, do they have different types of rulers?
Describe any large-scale alliances (i.e. countries, factions, etc.) that are present in your world.
How did they come about and how are they maintained?
Are they strained or peaceful?
How does it affect the greater politics of your world?
Describe how wars are fought both internationally and nationally.
Do methods of war differ between countries/races?
What about philosophies about war?
If there is a military, what is its hierarchy structure?
How does the military recruit?
Is the military looked upon favourably in your society?
What weapons are used by each country/type of people during warfare, and how does that affect war strategies?
Describe the sentencing system of your world.
Is your accused innocent until proven guilty, or guilty until proven innocent?
How are lawbreakers punished?
If you have prisons, describe how they are organized and run, and who owns them.
Does differing ownership change how the prisons operate?
What are the major ways in which laws between countries vary?
Do laws between cities vary? If so, how and why?
How does citizenship work in your world? What rights and privileges do citizens have that others do not?
Can certain classes or races not become citizens?
Are there certain taboo subjects or opinions that artist/authors/musicians are not allowed to depict (i.e. portraying the official religion in a negative light, explicit sexual material, etc.)? What does this say about your society?
How do people get around these censorship laws?
What is the official hierarchy of duty in your world? (i.e. is family the most important, or patriotism? What about clan?)
How many languages are there in your world, and how many languages share a common origin?
How many people are multilingual?
Which language is the most common?
How is multilingualism viewed?
How are different languages viewed? (i.e. is one language ugly/barbaric while another is romantic and sensual?)
Feel free to add your own questions in reblogs or in comments!

Oho, thank you for seeing it that way. :D Usually I put my interpretations in tags since they are rather long and personal, and not too essential under an art post - but I’m grateful when people find something worthwhile in there!
I’m at the bottom of the ocean
I’m at the bottom of the sea
I don’t know if I’ll make it back home
I’m just stuck here in a dream
Long gone, long long gone-
[…]
Oh Lord, let me be a good man.
These are selected lyrics from “Bottom of the Sea” by Dhruva Aliman, the original song that Gonta’s execution music was sampled from: link
And here are other nice covers/remixes of it, because why not: 1 | 2
Keep reading
#<3#And re: your tags aaa you're welcome and no problem adsjhgdsa#I cannot help but keep drawing him even tho normally I'm not even much of a fanartist#at this point I'll embrace it and see how far this will go - and post some results while at it. I'm glad people enjoy those fanarts ;w;#happy I managed to introduce some new music trivia too >:D#reply#replying from my side account#gonta gokuhara#gokuhara gonta#danganronpa#v3#ndrv3

“I love that character,” I say as I come up with upsetting headcanons for them. “Absolutely adore them,” I tell you as I bunny up sad story ideas for them. “They’re my favorite,” I sigh as I pick the most depressing songs for a playlist for them.
“I just want them to be happy,” I insist as I write horribly angsty oneshots centered around their misery.

A long while ago my friend gifted me Code Vein, so I’ve recreated the best gentleman in it :D (Used this outfit mod - link - for more accurate look in NG+)
...and then, to ease the post-V3 angst, I played while projecting the narrative that he got isekaied there after Ch4. And boy oh boy, did the CV plot ended up fueling that notion. There were some tropes and elements that - although obviously the similarities were superficial - felt... relevant, if not downright karmic for Gonta’s character, given the context of his own arc.
Overall, fun times *:･ﾟ✧ ╰ (゜▽゜ )－
#gonta gokuhara#gokuhara gonta#code vein character creator#code vein#code vein major spoilers#(both in the post and in the tags below)#ayoo watch out for literal essay in the tags :D#CV ended up being such a balm to the soul after V3 left it utterly crushed lmao (and DR:S wasn't even announced yet)#the game itself is amazing but the tropes and accidental parallels only enhanced my experience#Gonta...you done goofed in your past life. Here's a chance to redeem yourself and right your wrongs! ... Or f up again 8'D#as you face similar dilemmas - but in a completely different context!#what do you mean by 'everyone forgot various fragments of their past and we're restoring lost memories by collecting items that emit light'#what do you mean by 'a guy wants you to eliminate a certain lady to save everyone but then he must eliminate you bc of a mistake you made'#what do you mean by 'please save everyone/please end their suffering'#what do you mean by 'we're trapped inside the barrier and the word inside is hell but it turns out the world outside is even worse hell'#Io and Gonta enter a giant elevator. Io suddently: 'iS sOmEonE PuLLinG tHE CABLES?'#hgdsahjgadh you seriously can't make this up xDDD#Don't even get me started about the endings#and the themes of memories vs identity... or the excessive self-sacrifice and bearing burdens alone never being the answer#Yakumo's long lost childhood friend Miguel aka Gilded Hunter is voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi - Gonta's japanese VA - how about that#meanwhile Gonta's english VA Kaiji Tang can be picked as a male protag's voice during character creation (nr3 according to the sources?)#and a ton of other tiny things like Yakumo giving an apple as a sign of friendship (not a bunny apple but still :D)#obviously lots of these comparisions are very simplified and far-fetched but still I'm SO very amused 8D#also everyone in Code Vein is just too precious#Io's the best ; - ;#Yakumo is broest bro that ever broed#Mr Entomolist surrounded by actually devoted and caring people for once instead of destructive mess he's dealt with in past#tldr; good times#the isekaied entomologist#gameplay

I don't know if I would have much time to answer these, since I am busy with the comic and general life stuff... but they are so fun I just can't help myself, so if you wanna send an ask for some of my characters & don't mind waiting a bit for an answer, please don't hesitate 8D
Interview my OC about questions that has no easy answer.
1. Which should be saved – a bus full of innocent lives or a loved one?
2. You meet a man who has killed someone and done time for it before. Does this factor into how you treat him? Will he ever truly escape that sin?
3. If you could jump back through time to save a loved one’s life, would you? Despite what it might to do the timeline? To everyone else? Do you believe it is their fate to die regardless?
4. You have a secret you swore not to reveal. But this secret is the only thing that would prove your innocence in a separate matter. Is it worth risking your own well-being for the secret? Or would you betray the trust given to you?
5. Is it better to hurt others before they hurt you or let yourself be walked all over and hurt by others?
6. If you tell the truth, an evil person gets to walk away free. If you lie, you may be able to send them away like they deserve. Is honesty worth more than justice?
7. You have the key to immortality in your hands. But not for free. If you want it, as a price, your worst enemy also gains immortality. Is it worth it?
8. If you could gain as much money as you want for losing a sense, would you do it?
9. Can people be held accountable for things people close or related to them did or are they innocent?
10. If a lot of people, possibly innocent people, have to die in order to make a real change, is it worth it? Can you live with their deaths even if it helps people in the present?
11. Imagine there is a beast that craves attention. If you ignore it, despite being deadly, it will leave you alone. Could you live like that? Even if it possibly attacked others? Would you try and challenge something that unknown?
12. If someone else stole something and you stole it back is that a good deed, a bad deed or one of equal worth? Are you better than the original thief?
13. Could you sacrifice yourself for the good of everyone else?
14. What of love? Say you discover your lifelong crush on another has finally been reciprocated… but they are currently dating a family member or a dear friend the crush feels responsible to honour. Do you force the break up? Date on the side? Bottle it up forever?
15. Is lying to others to gain their approval more important than being genuine and hated?
16. Have you ever contemplated killing someone? Who and why? Would you ever act on it? Are you frightened you might?
17. Have you ever gotten sheer joy out of hurting someone else, either physically or mentally? To whom and why? Did it scare you?
18. Have you ever done something morally wrong? If it’s morally wrong do you regret it?
19. What is more likely a thought to you – that this world is wrong or that you are wrong?
20. Are there people in this world who, no matter how much time and penitence is given, should never be forgiven?
21. Are there people in this world you simply think the world would be better without? If you could erase them out of existence without physically murdering them, would you?
22. How do you feel about having an intimate relationship with someone you don’t love? What if they love you in return? Does that make you feel guilty?
23. Could you ever become your own hero? Is that a role you can fulfil or is it something you look to others for?
24. How do you feel about tears? Are they cowardly and weak? Do you cry? Would you consider that shameful?
25. What is more important to you? An idea of yours being used and appreciated or the credit for that idea beings yours and yours alone?
26. Is your personal happiness more important than anything else in the world? Than fame? Than the happiness of others?
27. How far would you go to achieve a dream or ideal? Does it matter who suffers? Does it matter if you suffer?
28. How long would you wait for the one you love? A year? Fifteen years? Forever? Could you honestly be loyal to an unfulfilled love?
29. Is genius equal to hard work? Does a genius deserve praise for doing well without effort? Are they above us?
30. Do we live in a world of parallels? Can there be no hope without grief? No happiness without suffering? Or is a utopia possible?
31. What is more important to you? Being respected and praised by your elders or being looked up to and championed by those younger or of the same age?
32. If you could choose to remove certain feelings such as anger, confusion, sadness, would you remove them?
33. If you could wipe certain memories from your head, would you? Why would you? What memories?
34. What path appeals to you more? An exciting dream that leaves you possibly penniless and alone or a drab existence where you have steady success.
35. Is every person in this world wholly unique or can they be categorized? Can they be grouped and mentally dissected? Are you just another sheep in another flock or are you the sole unique soul?
