Wait, Zhao Yunlan's gun is actually a...?!

(I've never claimed production meta for @guardianbingo before, but after the amount of time and research I put in on this, I feel like I've earned the "Zhao Yunlan's Gun or Whip" square, haha)

SO. GUYS.

Maybe this is something fandom as a whole figured out back in 2018, but I, who didn't hear of Guardian until 2020, did not realize until now and I need to share the knowledge because when I finally noticed, I made an unholy sound.

I've tracked down where Zhao Yunlan's gun came from -- or at least, what it most likely started as. Not the in-universe dark-energy-maybe-uses-bullets-maybe-doesn't-device-that's-best-not-thought-about-too-long, but rather the actual fake-steampunk-revolver-that-is-best-not-looked-at-too-long-because-it's-awful prop.

Y'know, this disaster:

I was actually working on a different Guardian Bingo fill and needed to look something up for continuity, so I'd flipped through a couple of episodes at super high speed trying to find a scene. As luck would have it, one of my skips forward happened to land on the scene I screencapped above, when ZYL confronts Zhang Shi.

Normally we don't get this clear (or this stationary) a shot of the godawful gun prop. I'd assumed all along they had just taken a plastic gun, glued some extra bits and bobs on it to make it look fancy, and hit it with some dry brushing (fun fact: you can watch the paint flake throughout the series; check out the top of the barrel and the side of the cylinder in the above screenshot!) to make it look #steampunk like the abandoned aesthetic of 25% of the show (as I've said before, I have theories about what happened in preproduction, but that's another post). This sort of thing is exactly what I've done for cheap cosplay weapons or background props for film work that aren't going to be seen at HD detail range.

Anyway, since the detail showed up better here than in other shots, I paused the video to look at the random screws and hex bolts (why??) they'd glued on it, since I recalled that I had the aforementioned gun/whip bingo square to fill.

That's when I noticed a detail that had eluded me before: An inverted V shape at the bottom of the grip.

Only looking more closely, that's not an inverted V. It's a symbol that I've seen a whole series of variations of over the past 15+ years... every time there's a new installment of the Assassin's Creed video game series:

So I started hunting. The principal weapons in each game turned up no matches, but eventually I found a gun that looks almost exactly like ZYL's:

It's not a perfect replica, but the details are certainly all there: The stylized logo; the leaves and swirls on the grip; the feathers up the back; even the Victorian scrollwork beneath the barrel.

Now, what's really interesting is that this gun isn't actually from the AC game series. It's part of an elaborate fan project by artist David Paget that started as a class assignment back in 2014. Even though it gathered a bit of steam in the AC fandom and generated a couple of forum role-play groups, OCs and the like, nothing about this artwork was ever connected to a real Assassin's Creed title. So why would there be a physical version of a gun that was only someone's fanart?

This is where the smoking gun (*rimshot*) goes missing, because I can't prove any of this, and it's been long enough that digging through the archives of the internet to find answers is going to take way more time than I can afford to spend on a project I'm not getting paid for. But there are two likely possibilities:

Scenario A: Some employee in a toy factory somewhere in China got told, "This Assassin's Creed franchise is really big, so we need to be producing replicas from those games to sell. Work up some designs." So the employee Googles "assassin's creed gun," finds David Paget's very professional-looking art, and whips up a replica to mass-injection-mold without realizing it's not actually from a game. Later, someone on the cash-strapped Guardian production team needs a gun to mod, and finds a cheap toy revolver on clearance after several years of sitting in storage because there was little demand for a replica of a gun that was never in a game. They buy several, glue hex bolts on the cylinder for reasons unknown, and poof! Instant pseudo-steampunk!

Scenario B: Other fans were involved in the design. Someone did build a 3D model of David Paget's design that's still available on Sketchfab (screenshot below), and it's not unreasonable to assume that other fans could have thought it looked cool and built 3D printable models. Later, someone on the cash-strapped Guardian production team needs a gun to mod, and acquires the 3D print file of one of those models from the interwebs. They mod the file a bit, print some, glue hex bolts on the cylinder for reasons unknown, and poof! Instant pseudo-steampunk!

Personally, I find Scenario A far more likely than Scenario B, for two reasons: First, the hero prop looks more injection molded than 3D printed, especially given the technical state of 3D printing back in 2017-8. And second... Budget-challenged dramas do have a history of picking up bulk video game replicas and using them as cheap props. I made a post back in 2019 about the WoW Horde shields we spotted in a different drama...

Anyway, no firm answers about the source of the hero prop -- the world may never know! -- but we have now confirmed that in some alternate universe (possibly one of the first eighty?), Zhao Yunlan and/or Zhao Xinci is an Assassin.

Wait, wait, wait... *recalls mechanics of how the whole Assassin's Creed frame story is supposed to work* Uh... so... who wants to write a genetic memory explanation for the whole Kunlun -> [lots of lifetimes] -> Zhao Yunlan thing?

(I did actually check the catalogue of a friend of mine who makes replicas of props from various media franchises to see if he'd done a commission of the David Paget design, since a surprising number of his custom pieces actually do end up on film and television, but while he has a gorgeous replica of a revolver that actually appears in an AC game, it appears he has not done the Zhao Yunlan gun. I didn't really think it likely, since he's in the U.S., but you never know.)

nsfw, pwp discord mod/modern xiao × afab! reader

warning: pwp (porn w/o plot), mid tier written sex, phone? video call? virtual? sex, sex toys, overstimulation, slight noncon recording, corruption, possessiveness, xiao being disgusting like actually (w/ cum)

quite frankly, extremeeeeeely ooc xiao also he calls you dove/kitten- yes living up to the discord mod name

Dudun!

[Dove, vid call, now.]

You answered the ringing discord call notification. A ragged, breathless voice greets your ears.

"Fuck.. (Y/N), I'm so horny right now. I need you.." Xiao voiced out, palming his crotch through his sweatpants. Hands twitching to touch your body but couldn't due to you being away from him.

He opened his webcam, revealing a very flushed and needy Xiao. Biting your lips, you opened yours as well, greeting him with the view of his nervous and blushing kitten.

"You didn't forget to bring your new gift with you right?" You nodded, glancing at the unopened black box beside your laptop.

He smirked, "Good, how about opening it for me?"

Grabbing the sleek packaging, you opened it carefully. It revealed a plush velvet covering a skintone, veiny, silicone.. dildo and as well as a bullet vibrator without a remote?

You held the dildo in your hands, feeling it up and.. it looks just like Xiao's heavy and mouthwatering dick. "Like my gift for you dove?" Your eyes snapped to your screen, greeting you with an overly pleased looking Xiao.

"Yes.. but what is this for?" You inquired, a brow raising at his gift.

"For you to play with and to give me a show, I still want your pussy to only remember the shape of my dick during your trip."

Red flushed on your cheeks from his statement, you even felt a buzz between your legs from his words. Pussy craving the warmth and size of his girth after days of it not being filled to the brim with Xiao's cock.

"Put a show on for me will you? You know what to do to please me after all." Xiao pulled the waistband of his sweatpants down and fished the bulging erection of his cock. It springs up and meets his clothed abdomen, standing erect and tall with the mushroom head an angry red, tip glistening with pre.

You nodded and said okay, standing from your chair and fully aware of the wet patch on your panties through your shorts. You locked the door to your room and moved your laptop and toys on your bed.

Standing in front of the laptop, you slowly stripped your clothes and gave Xiao a personal show. Unclasping your bra and slipping your panties off, not forgetting to show the wet patch he's caused and loved before climbing on the bed and resting against a pillow on the headboard.

You can hear his muffled noises through the speakers and the sound of slick, rubbing of skin. Spreading your legs, he could see your leaking cunny begging to be filled with cock- his cock. God if only you didn't go to that academic trip with Albedo he could be drilling and painting his cum in your pussy right now.

Grunting Xiao said, "Be a good doll and place the vibe on your clit, kitten."

Doing as he commanded, two fingers held the toy down your clit, jolting in surprise as the vibe suddenly sprang to life. "Don't let it go unless I said so, okay?" He said whilst raising his phone up to the view of the camera, allowing your eyes to see the "remote" for the toy.

He cranked the speed higher making your eyes roll back at the intensity and lean dependently against the headboard. Thighs quivering, slick overflowing, and whorish moans- the sight of you made Xiao shiver, pleased to see how much of a slut his darling became. Corrupting your purity and making you his slut wasn't a bad idea after all.

"X-xiao! Xiao... I'm close-! I want to come- please please!" Slurring, you suddenly feel the toy becoming stronger-! A relentless onslaught attacks your clit, overwhelming it and making your climax come faster- "Xiao x-xiao I'm cumming! I'm cumming !"

White fills your vision, slick gushing out your needy hole yet the toy doesn't stop- knowing Xiao he'd punish you if you to let go. He wants to see your sensitive clit and body overstimulated before he ends.

"Good girl, just one more then you can let go, okay?" He panted, his left hand lowered the intensity of the toy while lubed right hand kept jerking up and down his cock at the climax you've shown him- desperately wishing it was him instead of that toy he'd given you or your tight throat around him instead of his fucking hand.

"Y-yes." You can already feel yourself building up again despite already cumming. You bit your lips to muffle your noises, feeling ashamed that your friend is in the room next to you- thick walls can only do so much to block out the noise.

"Kitten, use your other hand and play with your tits." Xiao's voice from the laptop speaker made you snap out from your thoughts. "Like this?" You said while tweaking your left nipple.

"Yes- just like that," he grunts starting to feel the build up of climax, "just do that baby- I'll up the intensity, don't cum until I say so." The sound of his heavy panting fills your ears from the speakers, continuing to do as he told, he upped the intensity again making your already trembling legs give out.

Your left hand continues to play with your tits, adding more pleasurable sensations on your body. Your core tightens, "I'm c-close- xiao please.." You begged, tears beginning to form in your waterline from being denied.

"A little more dove- just a little more hngh." He says placing his phone down on his desk and grabbing a jar almost halfway filled with white, opaque fluid.

Xiao jerked himself harder at heavenly sounds of your moans in his ears, feeling himself close to climax. He opened the jar and placed the opening near the tip of his cock, making the fluid slosh around the jar.

"(Y/N).. cum." He hissed as he jizzed his cum into the jar- relief filling his body.

Once you heard him say his command, your body finally let go- giving you the most intense orgasm of your life. Your eye rolled back from the pleasure and your body gave out. Limbs weak from the pleasure, making you white out from the intensity. Your fingers let go of the whirring bullet as your body turned into mush.

Xiao chuckled at the sight of his cute girlfriend being so fucked out and turned off the bullet from his phone, he's thankful that he had the foresight to record this call for his collection.

It took about a minute of Xiao serenely watching you for you to wake up.

Your eyes blearily opened up to a smiling Xiao, completely and utterly please with himself that he witnessed your body breaking down from pleasure.

"We're not yet done kitten, your pussy is still hungry for cock no?" A sly smirk etched on his lips. "I can still see your hole wanting more."

You whined knowing that he was right, that it still wasn't enough. Xiao trained you too well to be a- his- cock hungry slut. Clitoral orgasm wasn't enough.

With weakened limbs you moved closer to your laptop to grab the imitation next to it. Making Xiao notice your disheveled state, how skin trails with skin or how your hair sticks to the side of your cheeks. A tired yet lustful expression sits on your face, completely unaware of how much it took effect on you.

Pulling the dildo closer, you test the waters by licking the head. Bringing it closer to you, you wrap your lips around the head, sucking the rubbery material.

Xiao feels his softened cock turn on again, watching you give head to a dick that looks his made it twitch back in eagerness.

He spat on his hand again to lube it up and slowly jerked himself. You took the cock in deeper, a visible bump appearing on your throat as the length inched more into your throat.

Xiao's mouth watered at the sight, seeing how the imitation could do that to your throat meant that it'd feel better if it was his actual dick that you were sucking instead.

Plump lips wrapped around the girth and spit trailed down the side of your lip as you slowly pull out the silicone.

The imitation glistens with your spit as you dazedly looked at the your laptop screen, Xiao's blown out gaze meets your own. "I think it's ready now.." You said as you pant in air.

Placing the dick vertically in front of your cunny, you looked at the laptop screen again, awaiting Xiao's orders.

A hum greets your ears, "Sit on it." He eyes as you stand up on your knees, legs spread apart and dick directly under your weeping cunt. You stretched your folds apart and carefully descended on the tip. Your hungry hole swallowed the silicone head, making your breath audibly hitch at the entrance.

With the head firmly inside you, you sat down to the base, moaning as you finally feel your walls stretch against Xiao's dick, dildo sitting comfortably inside the tight walls Xiao shaped.

Huffing at the feeling of being full, you hear Xiao utter, "Ride it and give me a show."

"Y-yes sir."

Raising your hips until your insides only feel the tip, Xiao watches as the shaft exposes itself coated in your slick. Bringing your hips down, you sat on it again, hole swallowing the silicone. Familiarizing with the feeling, you slowly ride the toy. Up and down, up and down- Xiao mimicked your movements. Each upwards or downwards motion is followed by his hand, attempting to synchronize the feelings of pleasure.

'It's not enough,' he thought and muffled groan escaping his lips, 'they need to be faster.'

"Dove, faster- ruin yourself for me." He commanded, pants leaving his lips as you upped the pace.

Heavy breathing leaves your lips as you followed his orders. The silicone fills you up but it's not as good as the original, struggling to hit your sweet spots unlike how Xiao fucks you.

It didn't take too long until exhaustion catches up to you. Paired with how you came twice prior, it could only take you so long until your previous ministrations caught up to your weakened legs.

You whined, "X-xiao I can't, my legs are too tired.. please..."

Xiao broken out of his stupor from following your movements in a daze, he noticed how you slowed down your movements. "It's okay dove, just lay on your back okay? Spread your legs and pump it in and out instead."

Following his instructions, your back meets the soft embrace of the covers making you moan in relief. You pumped the base in and out with your left hand, shivers running down your body as the dick finally hits your sweet spots while your right plays with your tit.

Moaning at constant feeling of being full, your core slowly tightens. The feeling of an climax creeps in your body. "Xiao I feel.. close.." You breathed as Xiao jerks himself to the pumps of your hand, also feeling himself becoming close.

"Come with me, dove?" He asked, grunting as you jerk the dildo harder.

"Y-yes! Yes!" You moaned, movement becoming more erratic. Legs trembling, struggling to keep them spread apart, body shivering from all of the sensations it's feeling. You craned your neck to look at him. Skin flushed, teal-green hair dishevelled and a mess, and beautiful amber eyes blown with lust.

Your eyes closed shut, digging the crown of your head deeper into the pillow as your back arches. "I-I'm close!" Xiao watches intently as you fucked yourself harder on his replica, dick twitching at the thought of it being his cock instead. "I know. I'm the same, dove."

He jerks himself faster, watching you play with yourself all for him. Ruining your pussy just for him. God he can't wait until he can sink his cock again in that corrupted cunt he claimed.

'Mine, you're mine. Just mine.' He thought darkly, 'no one else can see you fuck yourself like this. Not even that stupid Albedo thinking he could this academic trip as a way to seduce you. No one else can handle that ruined pussy of yours, not when all you can do is scream out my name..' He glanced back at the screen, your fucked out face begging for his cum, spit dribbling down your lips, slick overflowing and wetting a patch on the covers but you didn't care. The only thought in your mind was him, his dick, and cumming.

"Xiao-! Xiao! I'm cumming!!" You screamed as he came in sync with you.

Slick creaming around the silicone imitation of his cock and him cumming his spend into the cum jar he's filling up for your return.

The both of you sighed in content, a combination of pleasure, relief and exhaustion runs in your bodies as you both come down from your high.

"Kitten, don't leave the call or remove the toy. I want to watch you sleep with my cock shaping your insides, I'm not taking no for an answer." He uttered as he shifted and tucked his dick back into his sweatpants. Grabbing a tissue and cleaning up any mess that remained.

Hearing you sigh, he once again directed his gaze back on his screen. Your blissed and fucked out self etched into the confines of his brain.

"Y-yes xiao.. only for you.."

Extra: You feel room temperature cum enter your pussy as Xiao forced the head of the cum jar into your hole. Shivering from the feeling of the fluid dripping inside your hole, Xiao patted the jar empty for his cum to find home in your insides.

Xiao sighed happily knowing all his cum and effort are now safely tucked inside you and not wasted on tissue, because his cum should and only be inside your pussy and nowhere else. Removing the jar, he kisses your knee beside him, whispering "mine" as he stood on his knees, the monstrous cock he knows you miss after your long trip stands erect and stiff.

"Let's fill you up with a new batch shall we?"

---------------------

Thanks for reading this mess lmaoo, anyways have a nice day <3

Hey, I heard Slay the Spire is converting to Godot to evade the fees.

How hard is that task? Is it possible for your average indie game developer?

The amount of work depends on the size and scale of a game of course, but changing engines is a massive pain in the ass.

Think of a game engine as a foundation. When you make a game in Unity, you open the program, then you add in all your assets like objects and characters and music etc, and then you create behaviors for all these assets with code, but the thing keeping it all together, turning these collection of assets and scripts into a video game? That's the game engine.

To switch game engines is to build the game all over again. You won't be starting from scratch since you still have your assets, but holy shit can it be a lot of work. Imagine if you finish a painting and you remember exactly how you did it, but then some jackass said they'll charge you for each person who looks at your painting since they own that specific canvas, so now you gotta make the painting all over again on another canvas, and this canvas is also of a different size and material from the original canvas.

This is also a bit more meta and won't really apply to something like Slay the Spire, but if certain parts of a game rely on specific quirks of an engine? You'll have to recreate those effects yourself or else you'll actually be making a slightly different game. Bunny Hopping for example (when you jump repeatedly in first person shooters to move faster than just running) came about due to how the Quake engine not having a cap for accelerating through the air vs capping speed when on the ground. If you made Quake in another game engine that handled accelerating in the air vs on the ground differently, you wouldn't have bunny hopping.

How hard is that task? Very. Is it possible for the average indie developer? Possible, but not practical for many. They would have to learn how to work on an entirely new engine while recreating a game they already made as faithfully as possible, which is both time-consuming and can be pretty expensive (youre making a game again but youre not making a new product to sell)

tiktok has ruined videoformats... In many many vids you know what is coming, for example a dirty carpet will get clean, and previously the videos showed you how it transformed from terrible to pristine with one or two coat of detergent and brushy machine. it got to the point. now you watch the vid and they add detergent, then add some green goo and then add this and that and then they scrub it and ugh and add more green goo and you realize you have been watching 30 seconds and the vid is still only halfway done. Normally you would have consumed something like 5 vines by this time. and if you wanna speed it up to see the ending just to get that little serotonin that you got what you wanted you have to click on the video like twice.

this is because they want to hold your attention and so the videos are purposefully made this way now. clicking to see how it ends gives them clicks. it's... not good for anyone's mental health I would absolutely ban this. Also some videos actually DONT GO ANYWHERE. I just saw on facefuck/cheekworkbook/FB a vid where they painted the grass green and then there were speed ups about cutting it and there was zero explanation about the whole thing. it was made my a company that produces the tech you can use to cut the grass but based on the video it was shit, I would never buy it but I was waiting for the POINT for way too long.

And I don't even have tiktok but so much JUNK gets reposted on other soc media you cannot escape it.

No wonder the younger generation has problems, I would go insane too if I was 13-14 and my internet experience was LITTERED with such nonsense.

sorry for the rant

I would literally die for some Robin Buckley x reader stuff? Maybe like accidental kiss?

Don’t care about any prompts or anything, just thirsty for some fluff

This was so cute. I'm sorry I took so long to reply.

Working at Family Video wasn’t always miserable, usually it was tolerable, maybe even fun but on the hottest day of the year you wished you could be anywhere but there. The AC was definitely not enough to cool anyone off which is something Robin wouldn’t stop complaining about.

“This isn’t fair” Robin whined, elongating the last word. “I haven’t sweat like this since freshman gym which by the way is exactly why I switched to band.” She dramatically leaned the upper half of her body on the counter next to the tapes you were rewinding.

“Maybe Steve will actually come back with those popsicles.” You said looking down at her, her cheek squished by the wood of the counter.

“I’m betting he’s flirting with some girl at the shop and those popsicles are juice right now.” She lifted her head, turning in her seat to fully face you now. She was watching you work which only made the unbearable heat around you worse. You tried to continue without making it too obvious how nervous her gaze made you.

You knew Robin from band, in fact she was the one that got you the job in the first place. Working with her and Steve was the only thing making this job even remotely fun. Both quickly becoming your closest friends to date. For some time now though you’ve had a heart-stopping, gut-wrenching, butterfly in stomach, sweaty palm crush on the girl next to you. Making work impossible, constantly getting distracted whilst staring at her, sometimes even forgetting how to breathe when she decided to stand impossibly close to you as she was doing right then.

“You have no faith in the boy.” You shook your head, not even attempting to make eye contact. “I’ll bet against you this time, I bet he’s speeding here as we speak.”

A hand with fingers full of pretty silver rings made its way into your line of sight. “Bet.”

You giggled, grabbing her hand and giving it a firm shake. You looked up at her and she was smiling at you. She had the prettiest smile you had ever seen, if you were a painter you would paint it for eternity. After some time of staring into each other’s eyes she cleared her throat, retracting her hand.

“Right, so uum...” She looked down at the returns you were once rewinding. “I’ll help.” She mumbled whilst grabbing the tape you were about to work on.

“Get your own tape, dingus.” You said, attempting to swipe the tape back.

She scoffed. “I can’t believe you just called me dingus.” Robin started holding the tape above her head, slightly out of your reach. “Take it back and you’ll get your precious tape back.”

“Absolutely not.” You jumped for the tape being able to grab her wrist. You tried jumping again to grab it with your other hand, but your foot landed wrong making you tumble towards her. The heat in the store now nothing compared to the skin on your face as you realized your lips had landed on hers. Eyes wider than you knew you could open them. You pulled back in a panic.

“Oh my god, Robin. Oh my god, oh my god.” Your hands on the hem of your shirt, looking for any hint of anger or disgust on her face.

Robin was shocked. She couldn't believe that the first kiss you both shared would be an accidental peck in the middle of the store that smelled of plastic and stale popcorn.

“I’m so sorry! I’m so so so sorry. Robin please, I’m sorry.” You could feel your breathing start to become erratic.

“(Y/N), calm down.” She put the tape down and reached both her hands to either side of your arms. She smiled at you. Robin thought about how cute you were, how she wanted to kiss you over and over until you stopped apologizing. “It’s okay, it’s no big deal seriously.” You looked up at her, eyes a little glossy. Now she really couldn't think of a reason why she shouldn't kiss you so she did. She leaned in and pressed your lips together again, this time not as messily and definitely not accidentally. You closed your eyes, reaching up to put your hand on the side of her face, her hand on the back of your head.

“Dude, I left for like 20 minutes.” Steve’s voice abruptly stopping the best moment of your life. You both pulled away and looked at him, plastic bag at his side. Robin and you laughed.

“More like an hour, dingus.” Robin wrapped an arm around your shoulders looking at Steve expectantly. “Brought us the goods or not?”

“Well, you see, Heidi was there and we were talking…”

As It Was: Behind the Scenes | h.s.

i mean…how could i not. my first headcanon so be nice :) and thank you @watchmegetobsessed for literally having this idea and letting me use it :’)

and happy (mexican) mother’s day!

harry dreaded leaving the house the morning of his video shoot, knowing he had to leave the comfort of his home

and he had to leave his newborn daughter, lila, for the first time

he begrudgingly left with a kiss to you lips and a peck to his daughters nose

he backed out of the driveway as you and lila stood outside, your hand gently raising hers to make her wave at him

when he got to set, he immediately started talking about his little family back home and how he loves being a dad

everyone was behind schedule because he wouldn’t stop talking

without harry’s knowledge, jeff sends you a text

pleaseee visit he won’t shut up

way ahead of you azoff

harry had already texted you, asking for pictures and videos of you two ‘he doesn’t forget you’

you were already dressing lila in a comfortable onesie before heading to set

his song was already playing when you got there, which meant they were already filming bits of the music video

you thought you could sneak in, admire harry from afar before he notices and disrupts everything again

but lila sneezes

and it’s like harry has supersonic hearing when it comes to his daughter, especially when she sneezes (you will admit, they’re the cutest sneezes ever)

he stops lip syncing and immediately turns in your direction, his smile widening as he sees your daughter perched up on your hip, giant baby bag sitting by your feet

he literally jumps off the spinning platform and runs towards you, his arms opening and immediately scooping lila in his arms, kissing all over her face

‘hello to you too, i guess’ you thought

you were pretty sure jeff groaned in frustration

harry’s turns lila around in his arms so her little booty is sitting on his forearm, his other hand holding her up by her stomach

he walks around, pointing to the walls and other people, introducing her as “baby lila anne styles”

she looks bewilderedly at the set around them, her eyes wide, dimples showing off, just like her dad’s

he would again, continue to talk about her to the crew, saying things like

“she’s the best crawler, you guys. and she’s so smart too, i just know her first word will be dada. isn’t that right lila?” he cooed

you rolled your eyes

he put her down on the ground and hold her up by her little chubby hands, trying to will her to walk around

when that went to no avail, he picked her up again and brought her up to the spinning platform, carefully sitting down with her in his lap

harry quietly asked someone to turn it on, and surely it started to go around in circles

your eyes widen in panic, “slower baby, slower”

when the speed went down, as did your tense shoulders, her little giggle filled the room

which made harry smile too, the biggest ever

soon he had to actually work, so he handed her back to you, but not before kissing both of your heads

he barely got any work done, he would sing two lines and then would run over to you, lightly tickling lila and playing with her before doing his next scene

at one point, he laid flat on his back on the floor, her little body right on top of his, her little head right under his chin

(you did sneak a little picture)

there was one scene where he wasn’t in it, so he stood in the background as the song played, lila being held up securely on his side as he swayed and danced around with her

then the scene came where he was practically naked, a colorful background behind him

he, again, only sang two lines before grabbing lila from you, bringing her over to the painted set, taking her little finger and dragging it along the lines of the walls, her eyes wide at the colors

harry gasps after a while, which scared you because you thought something happened

“does anyone have the paint used for this?” he asked

surely someone had some of the blue paint and he excited ran over to the bucket and used a small brush to paint her hand, the brush bristles tickling her hand, making her giggle again

he carefully ran over to the set and pressed her hand on the wall gently, leaving the smaller little handprint he’s ever seen

you later reprimanded him and made him finish his set, you and lila sitting against the wall, watching him sing along to his own voice

sooner or later they do actually get stuff done, and he can finally go home with his girls

when he announces his song, he posts a picture of the handprints on the wall (you and harry later did it too, right next to your daughters), a picture of him and lila on the floor together and a video of them spinning on the platform

•••

yay!! these are actually kinda fun lol

I was gleefully telling my friend about you and showing her your art (she's super into LOTR so I was trying to find those, but got in the wrong tag🤣) and found/shared your Vespa comic. We had a good laugh and she said: "Wait till someone tells them about ROLLER COASTER" and I immediately came over here. WHAT IF someone tells Dorian and Aisling about ROLLER COASTER?? 🤣🤣🤣

Forgive me if it took too long, but this made me laugh so much that I HAD TO draw something.

Also: I'm leaving you the correct tag down here, but the Dark Lady one is "aisling the dark lady AU". You can find all my aus and tags in the character masterpost!

They'd LOVE the idea, of course. A little too much. They. Not most people around them.

They'll ignore Josephine begging them to please, PLEASE reconsider, think of your reputation, and rush to the Undercroft. Dagna will be over the moon with the plan, of course. Here's the blueprint, and under the cut some other details:

They found plenty of materials to build it in the Exalted Planes. Someone will have to dispose of all that rubbish after the war ended, right?

"Can't you build it in the Exalted Planes?" "But Josie, if we build it there, how would we experiment on gravity? We'll need to travel there and you see, that would be a great bother and will hinder our research. Also if we have it here, it would improve the moral of the troops greatly! :D"

Dorian's calculations were right. Solas discovered it with the first trial run. Not that any of the -very elated- science bros knew, but he actually started to think that maybe the Veil wasn't that bad of an idea, right there and then. Because can you imagine them WITHOUT THE VEIL? CAN YOU? Thedas wouldn't survive.

In order to make Josie happy, they'll come up with other rides to install around Skyhold:

Teacups will be installed in the upper courtyard. Except they're still a scientific experiment on Centrifugal Force, so they're fast. So fast that the game promises a free foal to everyone who manages not to puke on them. Since the foal is one of Little Brother's, Aisling horse (he made a name for himself in the Western Approach, biting on Venatori's butts, and is generally a prick), the excessive speed is actually considered a good thing. So nobody will win a foal of that horse or will have to tell Aisling that her beloved horse is an asshole.

Cullen's tower will be turned into a haunted house (thanks @ndostairlyrium for the idea). He'll actually contribute in painting the place, and will say that it's very useful to dissuade people to come looking for him if the report isn't REALLY important. "Aren't you scared, tho?" "Please, I was a commanding officer in Kirkwall."

Whack-a-mole in the Tavern's courtyard. The Iron Bull and Cassandra monopolize it and they're so-called nemeses. One day, then, the TRAGEDY: a mysterious person beat their record. No one knows who they are, there's a whole weekend of them playing Sherlock Holmes interrogating everyone around the Keep. (it's Krem.)

Josephine needed one joy, or ONE THING that she can use to sell the Inquisitor to the aristocracy. So Aisling organised something cute and nice for nobles to see and participate in. With horses! She named one of the horses Josephine! Josephine is moved, and from how Aisling describes it, calling it "giostra" because she heard the term from Dorian in vernacular Tevene and can't remember it in Trade for the sake of her, Josie thinks it's a carousel.

It's actually something better, and Josie loves it. (In Italian, "giostra" means a carousel, and also what happens in the video)

(Aisling is the unbeated championess. It's not that people let her win, is that she just can't be beated.)

One day, Dorian will eventually use all the data to calculate how much force they will need on the roller coaster to send a cart into orbit. Aisling will read his notes and find a way to propel the cart strong enough to actually do it.

Sera greatly approves.

#petrel replies #science bros #skyhold luna park #aisling the dark lady au #in the first drawing aisling's too tall oopsie #she is on tiptoes from excitement she'd do the rollercoaster thrice in a row and see what she ate last week #it will be counted as a positive experience by her and she'll LOVE IT #Solas in the corner thinking that you know maybe his plan shouldn't be brought forth #those two really benefit from the Veil #Dread Wolf Redemption plan: TIRE HIM OUT

In honor of the new Upd8, here's the updated version of my Personal Homestuck Explainer.

An explainer for Homestuck, typed up on a Google doc for Reddit, and now transplanted onto Tumblr, and too long to fit in a single reddit comment. Most explainers I've seen utterly fail to get the tone of the series across, thus not answering the main question I see: "what is Homestuck *and why is it like this*". Why does it evoke the reactions it does? Why are so many things considered a reference? Who is Vriska? (I can't actually explain that one in under 3000 words, it turns out.) But, here's a briefer briefer (heh) on the subject of "What the actual fuck is Homestuck":

Andrew Hussie, a person (now going by any pronouns) then known for various obscure things around the net, made an interactive reader-driven comic-type-thing called Jailbreak where he would draw panels demonstrating the events of the story as dictated by other posters in the thread, putting his favored suggestions in the narration and responding in kind. The happenings and variables were influenced by his own strange brand of humor and set of fascinations, such as rap, horses, clowns, and H!rry P!tter as a cultural presence. He would eventually compile this, along with the unfinished followup, Bard Quest, on its own website.

The third installment of the so-called MS Paint Adventures, Problem Sleuth, was a massive step up in production value, featuring impressive art and output speed as well as evolutions such as some pages being flashing gifs. This sort of thing was considered to be one of the best demonstrations of the potential of the internet. It ran for 1674 pages over the course of about a year.

Homestuck was the followup to that, running 8123 pages from April 13th 2009-2016 with numerous hiatuses in the latter half of that time. It featured such advancements as videos with sound, small WASD-controlled computer games on various pages, and most significantly, actual conversations between characters, semi-hidden behind clickable boxes at the bottom of some pages, allowing them to become three-dimensional and truly sympathetic. Hussie, it would soon be revealed, was heavily skilled at writing compelling and unique character voices and dialogue writing in general.

Homestuck was definitely the most complex MPSA, with a grand overarching plot being integrated into the results of the actions of the readers. The plot revolved around an in-universe game called SBURB with the power to influence reality, sort of a Jumanji with time-travel mechanics that would soon be revealed to be the centerpiece of reality itself, destroying the home planets of its players to motivate them to enter the world of the game and fulfill an unknown grand purpose, complete with millions of fully sentient NPCs. (Homestuck is, technically, an isekai.)

Homestuck has been described as "a story that's also a puzzle", and this lens has gained authorial approval; events are often told anachronistically, as a kitchen sink of high-concept ideas are explored by a man who sometimes wants to show off his semi-deconstructive version of a classic sci-fi/fantasy trope, sometimes wants to infuriate readers through anticlimaxes and misdirections, and sometimes wants to just go off on a tangent about a random movie from his childhood that somehow soon becomes integral to the plot in an absurdly esoteric fashion.

Eventually the suggestions from readers became so numerous and difficult that the suggestion boxes were closed near the end of the first year, leading to less meandering from Act 4 onwards, but the influence of the audience remained; one easy example is a character only seen from the top half initially being theorized on the official forums as using a wheelchair, a fact which would not only become Canon, but highly relevant.

The early MSPAs curated an audience through programming humor and 80s-90s film references as filtered through the styles of Terry Pratchett, Mark Twain, and the Something Awful forums, but the audience for Homestuck, due to the nature of the characters, was markedly different, especially after the Trolls showed up.

You've probably seen them.

The Trolls, initially presented as some extremely odd and bothersome fellows on the internet, were soon shown to be a race of grey-skinned, orange-horned aliens. Trolls possessed multicolored blood in both organized castes and clear deviations, psychic abilities, unique typing styles, insectoid traits as opposed to hominid, near-universal bisexuality with the sole known exception being Sapphic, and a complex romantic system with its own symbols, comically vague-yet-comprehensive reproductive system, and of course, relationship dynamics.

I cannot express how perfect the Trolls were in terms of catching on. Tumblr loved these fuckers and it's not at all hard to see why.

It's also worth noting that this wasn't the only market-perfect part of Homestuck; Classpecting, the equivalent of Hogwarts Houses, featured a 144/168/288/336/384(depending on who you ask and what they count)-strong grid system of human personality traits that not only seemed eerily accurate as a personality mapper, but corresponded to what elemental powers one received in the game of SBURB.

So... yeah. Homestuck was an incredibly complex and engaging work, driven by a single incredibly talented and flawed creative voice, which was perfectly made to attract a massive, unabashedly bizarre/proudly cringe, and notably largely queer fanbase across a younger internet; you may well be aware of incidents such as cosplay failures and inappropriate recreations of Troll culture. The style of presentation, art, and character writing was instantly recognizable and relatively easy to imitate, leading to fanfiction and even fanmade adventures galore, most of the latter hosted on MSPFA.com.

The main site for Homestuck is broken now-it's recommended that new readers download the [Unofficial Homestuck Collection](https://bambosh.dev/unofficial-homestuck-collection/), and starting with Problem Sleuth to ease into the format and writing is a pretty popular choice. The ending is also considered generally quite poor in a number of ways, particularly regarding unfollowed foreshadowing and blatant abandonment of character arcs, with some fans even [making](https://friendlybatteringram.tumblr.com/tagged/altstuck) their own [works](https://mspfa.com/?s=44153&p=1) as [substitutions](http://mspfa.com/?s=12003&p=1). You can find The Homestuck Epilogues (a sequel novel) on the official site, and Homestuck^2 Beyond Canon (a sequel webcomic after the Epilogues) on its own website, but neither of these are very well liked by fans (at all). YouTube also has several dubs of the comic; by far the largest and most popular is [Voxus](https://youtube.com/@Voxus), which has unfortunately slowed to a crawl at around the 65% mark.

Content warnings for Homestuck include: blood, violence including decapitation, clowns, brainwashing/mental possession, dicks-out furry bara art in the background of like ten pages, brief black-and-white nudity, swearing, the R-slur, a joke about an acronym organically forming the F-slur, child abuse, discussed child abuse and homophobia, mocking of the disabled (as an unsympathetic action), cartoonish levels of sexism (as an unsympathetic action), statements that an antagonist is analogous to Hitler, mocking of otherkin, a minor character being a racial stereotype of Japanese people (Damara), a somewhat major character being a stereotype of Black people (Meenah), minor characters being stereotypes of disabled people (Meulin and Mituna), a controversial and prominent depiction of blindness, eye trauma, underage alcoholism, written depections of noncon facilitated by mind control (as an unsympathetic action), sexual assult (an unwanted kiss, as an unsympathetic action), jokes about pedophilia, and child grooming (textually 100% non-sexual, but sexually-coded).

Also: when I said the Trolls type weird, I wasn't kidding. Every character gets at least one color for their speech text, plus a pattern for how they type, generally worse for the Trolls, ranging from "no caps" to "British" to "drunk" to "ebonics" to "aLtErNaTiNg" to WH4T3V3R TH3 FUCK K1ND OF L33TSP34K BS T3R3Z1 1S DO1NG. So that's worth a warning.

And that's as abridged as you can get when summing up Homestuck.

ur colors r so good and so vivid and beautiful all your art really stands out to me, it’s so bright and vibrant and brimming with character. howd u get so good w color?

thank you! and hm good question. I think like anything its ultimately just practice but thinking on it there's a few things that helped 4 me that I don't see mentioned a lot:

the single most important thing that made my art improve almost immediately once I realized it is that you can legitimately do fucking whatever. I think a lot of younger artists that look at like social media art tutorials a lot get it in their heads that there's a single perfect "system" that art functions in, like using a particular brush for lineart, a particular color and overlay filter to shade and highlight, a particular way to draw noses or hair or hands and while I think this certainly works for some people and even kinda happens automatically as you get better at art bc you create shortcuts for yourself you shouldn't really try to force it! I think the mark of a good artist is being able to vary these things, sometimes even within the same piece, and this goes doubly for color bc when you know how to use it well it can shift the mood of a painting a lot! Unless you're going for realism you can always say fuck it; red skin, purple shadows, green highlights. Whatever gets across the feeling you're going for y'know!

learning some basic color theory is obviously super important. I'm not gonna break it down here bc there's like hundreds of youtube videos on it but smth I recommend looking into is the distinction between local and non-local color! It'll help you start looking at art with more of an analytical eye so you can figure out what exactly artists you like are doing so you can try to imitate it in your own work. I personally learned a lot of what I know abt color from post-impressionist painters like Les Nabis, Toulouse-Lautrec, etc but you could just as well look at more contemporary art or even other people on social media

smth that helped me a lot is learning how to mix my own paint! I really think you only really need a handful of base colors (red, blue, yellow, green, pink, sienna, black and white) and should mix everything else from there. Those huge gouache or watercolor paint sets look very pretty but ultimately are mostly just a lot more expensive than they need to be, and mixing the paint yourself helps you figure out a lot about what base colors actually make up a certain hue. This knowledge even carries over into digital art bc the color wheel you have in most art programs is based off of traditional paint mixing so by familiarizing yourself with that you're simultaneously getting better at colorpicking! I used to be a digital-only artist and I saw a huge improvement in my digital art once I started working traditionally

I hope these helped somewhat! I should reiterate I'm not really classically trained in art at all and these are just what helped me figure stuff out! I've found a lot of it is just trying at it until you find something that works for you but maybe this'll speed it along :]

https://darkcloudxero.com/2023/11/17/iori-yagami-possessed-redo/

I felt that the Iori painting I made back in August 2022 had potential, but was lacking. With one more year of experience I decided to give it another go. Overall I think it looks much better now. I've actually started to record my prcesses, but I need to find a way to edit it in a way that isn't boring to watch. Just a speed paint no longer works if I actually want people to watch my videos. I currently have four paintings recorded. This is the only one that is a RE:do though (for now).

The bonus painting is of me getting flung, that's my current mood…

Hasta la proxima,

On art and literature, and why it's not just "content"

Forgive me in advance for the incoming salt, but this is a rant I've been sitting on for ages. A tweet I saw* only cemented my need for the aforementioned rant, so here we are.

A bit of context first. I worked at a bullshit, huge corporation for almost 6 years; after that, I've moved on to a corporation that's way smaller and involves some actual work rather than bullshitting for 5 days a week, but it's still a corporation. That's a background experience I'll be relying on, mixed with observations of the absolute hellhole that LinkedIn is, with a sprinkle of mainstream media attitude. For the sake of clarity, I usually refer to art and literature as "art", but I'll be using art&lit in the post. With that out of the way, LET'S DIVE IN.

If there's one thing that's aplenty in every corporation, it's the amount of self-affirmative spam you receive every day. Department status updates, newsletters no one reads, trainings and videos to watch, and so on, and so forth. And it is, regardless of the corp and the type of spam, called "content". It's an apt name for it, because it's neither art, nor anything useful. Just a barrage of words some poor soul had to put together. Oh, I'm sorry, not a poor soul. A content creator.

I can say I'm a content creator at my day job. I write software documentation and manuals. It requires some thought and some effort, it's not a bullshit job I could ignore without any negative consequences to me or the company or the world at large. But it's not art I create there. It's content. It's got no artistic value whatsoever except maybe for explaining concepts in an easy-to-understand way. The companies themselves have got no qualms about calling that type of fruit of their employees' work "content". That at least doesn't bother me. "Content" is an adequate term for repetitive, artless form of work that require creating something out of nothing.

But when the same term is applied to art&lit, when artists and writers are called "content creators", I grow spikes like a porcupine.

I understand why it's easy to use those terms. They're easy, umbrellous enough, and carry their meaning well. It encapsulates people who don't do art&lit, but dabble in education, design, what have you. But the results of their work isn't content as it's seen at its core and at its roots.

You churn out content daily and often without effort. Those instagram accounts posting variations of the same photo every day? That's content. A book written for 3 years and edited for the next 2, full of gorgeous prose and magnificent storytelling, or a painting that took weeks to finish? That's not content. That's art. And people who let it into the world by effort of their hands are artists.

That line of thought brings me back to that tweet I linked earlier. "Media consumption" is just as dehumanised, nebulous term for experiencing art&lit as "content creation" is to refer to the act of writing and painting/drawing. It assumes the interaction with content at the speed and rate it's created. Which is: fast. Then faster. And faster and faster, until both you and artists end up in an ever-rushing cycle of more, more, more. (I already ranted about streaming and the effect it's got on media, so I'll stop myself from doing it again ;)). But, FOMO, anyone? I'm sure all of us have experienced it at least once at some point. Corporations and mainstream media have got a way of slithering into our lives and taking terms and things that make us happy for themselves. They also tend to flatten nuances, limit imaginations, and produce countless iterations of the same trope if only they realised it was popular. (Side note: it's very obvious in traditional publishing when agents and editors seek stories centred around a motif for some 5 years after the first book with that motif made a breakthrough. That's something to talk about for another time, though.) And after all traces of what made an idea unique and brilliant, after art&lit have deteriorated into simple content, then both terms truly become equivalent.

I don't think that simplification is something we as a society should condone.

___

* - as often happens, given tweets' fleeting nature, this on too no longer exists. (should've made a screenshot, that's what). it had something to do with commercialisation of entertainment and the push for new films and shows and stories be published faster and faster as a never-ending stream you cna drown in. or so i think, at least.

#culture #crossposted on my website #modern media #contentisation will kill art and us artists with it and we can't let it do that

First off, for anyone who needs a primer on AI Generated Art here's a concise video on the subject to get you up to speed: LINK I used Midjourney I started out with these prompts to see what I would get: Astronaut with a skull head +skull + skeleton + red spacesuit + character design + full body + red + sci-fi + star wars + Ralph McQuarrie + Jake Parker, cartoon, cartoon network, adventure time style. Then I thought I'd mix it up and see what prompts like octane render + 3d would give me. I didn't like what I was getting so I went back to my original prompts but added rubberhose animation + pixar + disney + 3d. The results were better, so I asked for more variations. When I got them I decided I was getting diminishing returns and called it a day. Lots of interesting ideas to put into my design, but no one design really felt like it nailed the vibe I got from my original design. After this experiment here's what I think:

1) AI Art Generators will only become more powerful/capable. So wishing it away is a waste of time. The only path forward is figuring it out how to implement it and how to regulate it. 2) With revolutionary technology comes a reorganization of status and power. The status quo HATES this and will do almost anything to stop it from happening.

AI Generated Art shifts the power (and wealth) of creating images from people who have training, to people who don't.

This reorganization happened in the 2000s when programs like Maya, 3D Studio Max, and Photoshop made art creation a lot more accessible to people who couldn't paint traditionally, or sculpt clay.

It allowed places like animation studios to be havens for creative people to make art who might not have been able to draw really well. Which really upset people who had trained to animate in 2D on paper, and who studied classical painting techniques. Which leads me to 3: 3) Not everyone who is creative can make art, and not everyone who can make art is creative. The creative people who could also adapt and learn new tools absolutely thrived in the new digital art world.

A lot of the art I've seen generated from AI is a lot like hearing someone impersonate English but who doesn't know the language. It sounds right, but they aren't actually saying anything.

4) I see these AI Art generators as tools. Another resource for creative people to add to their toolbox to make them even more creative. Or at the very least, make their job easier.

5) AI isn't an end to end problem solver for productions. There's still a needs to be an artist to translate it into something usable. Someone needs to interpret AI art into something a modeler can model, or set designer can build.

Example: After a producer plugs a bunch of prompts from a script into Midjourney they take it to the art dept. The crew gets a brief from an art director and instead of a lot of back and forth, the art director points at a page of AI art and says "Make it look like this"

6) Questions I’m still thinking about:

- Do these AI Art Generators actually undermine illustrators, photographers, concept artists? Or does it actually elevate these industries?

- Is it bad to democratize something like art creation?

- Who truly benefits from this shift in power? Where is the money flowing to?

- Should artists have the option of their artwork being removed from the AI generator's databases? Or is any art you post online free game? Does the AI generator do anything different than what an artist does who has strong stylistic influences from other artists?

7) I'm still learning about this, and still reading up on all the pros and cons.

I would love to know your thoughts.

We've been discussing it over on the Discord for a couple weeks now: LINK

I also posted this on IG and it blew up. I could not keep up with the comments. Over 750 of them! If you want to get a vibe check on what the broader art community thinks of this check it out here: LINK

Stuff About Cody but instead of being a time patient Researcher imma just go of facts I know or people don’t talk about :D

Okay, I know the title is long as fuck and sounds unprofessional, but I really just wanna tell people random facts b/c it’s fun.

Anyways please enjoy(or don’t idk)

—————————————————————

Cody is actually really smart

All though Cody is considered as Geeky and perverted, he’s actually kinda smart, e.i he built Gwen’s face with a bunch of boat parts.

There was also that one time he did some math in the fear-factor, with some sort of calculator(idk it looked like a whole ass phone)

He managed to trick Justin into thinking the paparazzi were there, quite easily too :/

Also not sure if this counts but he did managed to use Sierra not leaving him alone to his advantage when Al tried to get Sierra to vote for heather by photoshopping Cody and heather cuddling

—————————————————————

Cody and Tyler’s friendship

Everyone says that Cody’s friends are Trent, Harold, Owen, maybe Noah, Sierra, and heather which is true.

But In some scenes, Tyler and Cody seem to be friends as they not only did Tyler cheered for Cody when he fell into the state of liberty’s boobs, he also work with him, DJ, and Owen.

Not to mention he also helped Cody take a picture of him and Gwen.

Those two are friends and I stand by that.

—————————————————————

Cody might be a photographer

For context, I saw a video on TikTok that point out that one of the photographers in the intro for revenge of the island sleeves look awful similar to Cody’s sleeve

I wouldn’t be surprised if he really did just say fuck it and went to do photography.

I know it could just have been the animators just not wanting to make a whole ass new character just for a brief moment where we don’t even see their face…but the possibility is still right there.

—————————————————————

Cody’s hinted parent issues

I know I already made a post about researching about his parents might being terrible at taking care of their child but thats still in a work in process and this is just a little thing I’ve found out.

In in total dramaramra, Cody makes a few comments about his mom that paints the picture that she never pays attention to him.

He either mentions stuff that his mom would tell him to do, like getting an app to make friends that aren’t even real, or like that one time he said that his mom puts him in a dog costume to sneak him inside airports/airplanes.

Heck even Cody didn’t seem to remember what his mom looks like since he once asked if someone he didn’t know WAS his mom.

There’s a bit more but this is about facts and stuff, not theory’s or headcanons.

—————————————————————

Cody’s aunt

I know she’s not that big of a deal like the others were but I don’t see a lot of people talk about her

The one time Cody’s aunt Is mentioned is when Sierra tells now she pretended to be some type of phone person and got her to tell her Cody has a Emu plush named Jeramy he still sleeps with.

I just wanted to bring that up, thats all

—————————————————————

Cody’s Scars

Okay, anyone whose watched the season 1 might remember the time Cody got mauled by a bear and what he looked like after it.

He may have healed up and all but did you see how fucked up he was? BRO LITERALLY HAD TO BE PUSHED IN A WHEELCHAIR AND WAS COVERED IN BANDAGES.

YET HE WAS FINE, NOT SCARS, NO WHEELCHAIR, NOT EVEN A FUCKING BANDAGE- HOW LONG WAS HE ELIMINATED FOR?!

I might talk more about this in another post

—————————————————————

Cody’s strength and speed

Just like with him being smart, Cody is shown to be somewhat very fast.

He explains that he used to get hit spitballs in school so he learned how to dodge them.

Not to mention he can be seen sprinting after grabbing a bag chips from the floor after Beth said no to heather.

Now let’s talk about the fact that this scrawny little man is actually strong as shit.

THE MAN KNOCKED DUNCAN OUT LIKE A DANG MINECRAFT CHICKEN

IN DODGE BALL THAT MAN NOT ONLY GOT TWO PLAYERS OUT AND WIN THE GAME, BUT MANAGED TO BREAK THE LAW OF PHYSICS, THAT BALL LITERALLY CHASED ONE OF THE PLAYER

THAT MAN COULD LITERALLY BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SOMEONE IF HE WANTED TO

—————————————————————

Cody’s singing voice

Yes, I know everyone heard Cody’s voice and shit but I really just wanna talk about something

In his audition tape, he tries to sing a song with some type of keyboard.

I bring that up because literally his voice sounds like nothing to what it sounded like in world tour. It sounded like he was just talking in his regular voice.

he was in a boy band with Trent, Harold, and Justin so there is a chance he started practicing his singing.

—————————————————————

Cody has freckles

I forgot about this one :l

Basically, there’s scene where Sierra mentions one of the questions on her blog, which was “how many freckles does Cody have on his back?”

How and Who found out he had freckles? Did they just looked at closer at his face at an angle or something?

WHERE EVEN ARE THEY?! I DON’T SEE NO FRECKLES ON THAT MAN

IS HE FUCKING HIDING THEM WITH MAKEUP OR ARE THEY SO FAINT THAT YOU CAN BEARLY SEEM THEM?!

——————————————————————————————————————————

Welp that’s all for now.

Now I have more ideas for other posts

Anyways, Bye bye :D

#total drama #total drama island #td cody #tdi cody #total drama revenge of the island #td #total dramarama #total drama cody #total drama world tour #girl you know it’s true you make me feel so blue when you come around I get lost-
