After all the posting I did for the spoilers, idk that I have terribly much to add here, but there are a few things.
Like how -- yes -- Jonathan and Wordsworth prove quite useful by using the horse to show them all that the ground below is hollow. Artie is so argumentative and doesn't see value in much of anything, does he? I hope he's learned something from this.
Ok, so Jonathan could smell Ginny under the horse, but it took Wordsworth to realize the sound wasn't right for stone flooring.
Then they are easily able to find the release for the hatch door.
yippeee zorua oc!! im in love with this design, im super proud of it !!! partially inspired by @/aurorawolfa's awesome fusions ^^
i dont have much lore for em yet, but heres what i got so far:
theyre from space! i havent decided if theyre a fusion in universe or their own species that happens to look similar to both cosmog & zorua
theyre hundreds of years old, but still considered a child among legendaries
theyre around lvl 40 from eating some space version of exp candies, but arent very experienced in battles & cant control their strength or moves very well
theyre shy, but curious & mischievous! they like playing pranks on humans from a distance, but get scared and run away or hide if caught
they can often create small portals for themself to pass thru, but cant go more than ~20 ft away at a time & cant always form a portal. this is their default method of escape
if they cant create a portal, theyll simply teleport away. it takes a lot more focus on their part, but they can go much further at once
if they feel particularly threatened and cant escape, they might try to use an attack. their attacks are uncoordinated & sloppy, but very powerful! they can cause real damage to their opponent or surrounding area
usually tho, theyll take advantage of their expert illusory skills to create a convincing threat to scare off whatevers threatening them
also fun fact their ability is loosely inspired by those cat scps who look like human men! specifically the part where they robbed a bank & didnt get shot bc their actual bodies are cat sized
so the idea for stardust is physical attacks phase thru the illusion bc its not their real body, and the attackers are aiming too high :p
Ohh! For All Time is slated for an English release!! If I'm being picky, i prefer the name For All Time over Lovebrush Chronicles but I'll take what i can get lol! I'm kinda surprised since I've been waiting for the Japanese beta which will be available in a day or 2.
There's supposed to be a closed beta for the English version but apparently there's no way to sign up as of this post. Check the English site here and follow the English twitter i mean X account here!
Aug 1 - Got part of my monthly backups done, the ones for the external drives that are always at my computer. Still need to dig the other drives out of my go bag and update them too.
Cooked mild Italian sausages and a packaged rotini & veggies mix for supper.
Aug 2 - Dental appointment today, dentist replaced a disintegrating filling (it was 30-ish years old, one of the old mercury amalgam ones), and also slightly reworked a tooth on my upper left to try and eliminate a food trap spot.
Prepped some pork ribs to cook tomorrow; steamed them over lemon water in the pressure cooker, let them sit in it while pressure dropped, and once they were cooled threw them in a large ziplock bag with a mix of Diana sauce, salt, pepper, ground cumin, and minced garlic, thinned with a little apple cider vinegar.
Brother was out this evening, so I made myself a late supper of tuna fish salad on toast (once the numbing agent finally wore off).
Aug 3 - Happy birthday to me!
Baked and frosted a PB King cake (from B. Dylan Hollis' Baking Yesteryear cookbook). Broiled the ribs long enough to heat them through and give them a bit of a sear - would have had brother BBQ them, but thunderstorms rolling through said no. Had them with sour cream & fried onion mashed potatoes, and green peas.
they say a little too much thinking and letting your brain's screws work overtime could turn it into a good old fried brain. insanity, as others would call it, and one of the adjectives most people would describe siho, past and present. as a young girl, siho was known to be this quiet little kid who hadn't want anything to do with anyone unless it involved desserts or pretty dresses, to ha juho's relief. I won't have to worry about her when she grows up. he once thought to himself, thinking that if she grows up normal, he won't have to bring siho into the world of petty crimes and the organization. he and his wife both, had high hopes that one day, their family can be at peace, away from the ugly world they're currently involved in- until the day 13 year old siho came home with a bleeding nose. worry and concern laced the faces of both her parents as they examined her for any further marks; her right hand knuckles were boasting a splatter of red and purple, siho's expression dull. "what happened, dear?" her mother asked as both her and her husband knelt down holding siho's hands, as if further examining it would heal it in real time.
"i wanted to see how many punches it would take before my nose started bleeding. it took only nine."
sihwan gave a quick nod towards the bodyguards that were standing across the room, to which juho raised his brow against. "we have done our investigations ma'am. she did it in the open field restroom five minutes before the bell rung. the principal of the school doesn't know just yet. a couple of students saw her bleeding on the way to the car, but no one saw the process." the taller man quickly informed, his head bowed down as he wasn't sure if it was right for him to say all those details, or if he lacked further of any.
with a short sigh, siho's father waved the two bodyguards away, massaging his temples with one hand immediately after. "very well."
i tried basing the pose on a piece of concept art with them but it was a little hard to read the poses :') also peep the engagement rings (they were meant to be wedding rings but im a noodle brain and put them on the wrong hands. they get married by splat 3 mark my words)
1) I’m stoked as hell for UPS to do what they gotta do for better labor conditions and I support them unconditionally
2) I just remembered I should buy a bunch of extra food for my bunny early so I don’t run out in case of/during a strike!!!!!!!
Therefore I am posting this in case you also need to buy a bunch of something that is usually delivered by UPS and is time sensitive pre- Aug 1, 2023. Here is your official reminder.
