#backlog resolution
Text
Okay, I'm closing in on the end of Tomb Raider, and despite many frustrating moments, the game has overall been pretty solid, especially for something that came out decades ago. I do have the repeated issue of getting stuck, looking up the next step in a puzzle, then feeling like an idiot because it actually should have been obvious in hindsight, but that's probably more of a me problem than any issue with the game.
However, the remaster has a unique problem that has started to show up in a few places. By making certain graphics fancy, the game becomes harder to complete due to issues of lighting and items blending in to the environment. Both Cistern and Tomb of Tihocan have required items that are so small and dark in the remaster graphics that they are practically invisible, but in the original graphics they are big chunky icons that are nearly impossible to miss. Additionally, in City of Khamoon, the last keyhole I needed to interact with was dark red in a room that was also dark red, with the newer lighting making it difficult to catch at a glance. In original graphics? Popped right out on the screen, easy to find.
I have found it to be more than a bit troublesome that the graphic switching button feels damn near required to solve some puzzles if you have never played the game before. And I'm not the only person who has brought up the invisible keys issue from Cistern especially. It feels like someone probably should have really gone over this with an inexperienced player before deciding that the new graphics were totally perfect and ready to ship.

Happy 13, Bwing & Yells Fandom. And nine years of bwoodles for me.
#bering and wells#warehouse 13#dickens draws#i'm going to be posting my backlog of things between now and june when i take my kids to ireland scotland and england#i have so much to post and thought i would have time all day today but we had company#working a 12 hour overtime shift did not help lol#i also realize it's a LOT of stuff and I want to take the time to proof everything before i post it#so my bering and wells 13 year resolution is to just be even more annoying in this tag than i usually am#means to a graphic novel end#going forward this year all projects will be under#Dickens 13

this is so viscerally satisfying to me I’ve been watching it repeat for 15 minutes now (and probably many minutes after)
#autism tag#I know it’s so grainy if I watched this in better resolution you would never see me again/j#its the straining. the frustration of it#don’t ask me to elaborate bc I don’t know how#also the animation in the movie as a whole makes me bounce off the walls#I need to rewatch kero movie 3#3 and 5 were the ones I watched the most#I’ve had this vid in my files for 2 years I’m just going through the backlog of kg phases#keroposting#OH UH#flashing /

Updating my steam library while my family is trying to watch a movie because someone picked a fight with me.
#ignore morg#Enjoy what 3 months of warframe backlog does to your streaming resolution.#that game takes like a fucking hour to update when it's just the one download. And meanwhile I'm playing pokemon. Alone.#get a hard copy and learn to hate mandatory internet connections if you don't like me being a dick about it

“The eyes must stay supplanted to the flesh, for if they don’t, well… Surely you’ve seen what happens, dear hunter? All is not as it seems, in Yharnam… Not even the humble pebble.”
I have not stopped thinking about a Bloodborne 'theory' (there's p rock solid (lol) evidence for it imo) I read once that all pebbles are/were actual eyes at one point, and it IS gonna be mentioned in this fic, I stg
#bloodborne#kallowrites#excerpt#writing#also partly posting this because yes im alive and im trying to force myself to work on this fic again#it's probably gonna be weird and all over the place because I haven't written a multi-chapter fic in ages#(especially in full? I have lots of *idea* docs but.... not much 'completed')#so like... what even IS pacing lmao -- BUT WHO CARES I just wanna try my hand at writing Bloodborne stuff#2023 is the year I wanna get weird with it#(but also this will be difficult because i have a p considerable game backlog... including Sekiro AND Elden Ring LOL)#BUT I will at LEAST start a Bloodborne fic (as in post it on AO3) this year -- there's a resolution I can manage

trusting ichikawa to have a turnaround that phos won't pray or that there were repurcussions with everyone turning into lunarians or everyone not caring about phos hell even anything about how Adamant feels about all this. Or this was just a big theme about suffering and repeating cycles. Because at this point it has to be deliberate right?! RIGHT!?
I've lost all hope about cairn breaking free from Achemea's influence. ANTARC DIED FOR PHOS WHY ARE THEY JUST OKAY WITH ALL THIS.....
#rambles#hnk#*lights a cigarette* i haven't used rhis tag in 84 years#being a houseki no kuni fan is suffering#please let there be a satisfying resolution to all this and i didnt just waste my time following this manga for 7 years#yes...this entire blog got it's kickstart from hnk i still have a backlog in my hnk tag

i realize now i havent actually posted any art (on this page anyway) in almost a full year. i didnt really draw much in 2023 but i still had a handful of finished works that i was just not in the right mindset to post. i will try to get around to that! will have to remember to set up a queue. definitely need to remember all my tags...
im trying to get into a better mindset about drawing at all. the past 3 years have done nothing but make art become increasingly more and more negative to me, and anytime i tried to draw i just got mad at myself to the verge of tears because im just. not as good as i used to be in my opinion. but thats not very fair to myself and im trying to get better about that! ive been drawing again recently and having fun doing so because i lowered expectations of myself and honestly. its really nice to just fuck around and draw silly little guys again.
#i was going through my art tag trying to find sometjong and realized just how much i havent posted#so im going to have to dig through my phone and computer and really look for things i want to post haha#the very last two things i posted where both made january 6th of last year according to my art program#so i might not have much but i do have some things backlogged#eughh boi..#sorry for rambling but i only recently came to the realization of just how harsh i have been to myself#and i decided as a new years resolution to just. be nicer to myself#none of my recent stuff will be very polished btw!#a lot of what created my dislike of drawing was lineart and colouring!#i always had to make it super clean and perfect and i dont even know why#so i decided enough of that! if its messy and wobbly its messy and wobbly hahaha#anyway sorry to ramble ahhh#i havent used any of my tags in a while.... need to remember#lizard .txt

I figured I'd let people who follow me on here have a chance to pick between these two presumably longer games for my next game to play and record. It's okay if nobody votes but it would be nice to get at least a couple of votes. If there's a tie, I'll just flip a coin basically.

Good day, Cozy! Hope you’re doing alright <3 Random question comin’ to ya~!
Do you have any backlogged fanart / wip that you’re especially proud of, even if it’s old or unfinished?
HHNNggHHHHGhhHh weLL… mind i have like 200+ things of backlogged fanart i never posted 🤪 (and might never cuz they are old). The only things i probably still like is this big ass set of drawing twst boys in the style of my private original art and characters I never publicly show 😩😩 Mostly just for personal fun. PROBABLY ONE OF THE FEW BACKLOGGED THINGS I STILL LIKE?? even if just toying around (click for better resolutions)
the Diasomnia one was made first lol, malleus specifically. these weren’t really meant to ever be seen outside of a small group so *gestures* here they are
#cozy ask#my art#twisted wonderland#EXTREMELY THOUGHTFUL QUESTION BTW SO THANK YOU#I think the is the first time i ever really uh sHOWED my raw art style lmfao#i guess you can kinda see the amalgation of influences suddenly mingling#there’s things that twsts look does already that i’ve already been doing on my own time so its like ayo#I feel like i could talk about the particulars forever but i’ll spare that#I did not include Grim and the only MC to exist in my world. but that one exists too

Positively adore your art!! Thank you for sharing it!! Also, would you happen to know of any fics that sort of resemble your art style or ones that inspired it? I’m right there with you I love the basic vanilla vibe and I have been trying to find a decent fic to get into before I finish totk
thank you!!
Thank you so much for your kind words for my art
🙏 I greatly appreciate!🙏
I have a confession to make dear friend!
I hadn't read fanfictions in several years but beating Totk made me go FERAL for Zelda material and explore what's been written since BotW came out.... oh boy the rabbit hole is deep!
There is a lot of good stuff out there but I have read so many fanfics in a short time that the whole thing is a blurry mess in my brain.
BUT! There is one in particular that really stood out and left a lasting impression on me: Displaced written by socksock
https://archiveofourown.org/works/21128084/chapters/50279321
It was originally written in 2018, before the release of TotK so there are some small and harmless inconsistencies that can easily be ignored because, duh, it was written BEFORE totk.
I particularly liked this fanfic because it has all the qualities I'm looking for!! Also several key moments and general ideas in that story are extremely close to my own headcanon to the point it almost scared me. The story focuses on Zelda trying to find her place in post-calamity Hyrule. The characters are very well written and credible, Link's personality is player behavior accurate (MORE OF THAT PLEASE!!!!!!!!) and obsessed with completing his quests backlog and I thought it was amazing. Damn i love a player accurate Link!!
It's a wholesome slow burn romance, lots of humor, it's sexy, does not take itself too seriously but can be very emotional at times. Also, I was amazed by one scene in particular....I don't want to spoil anything for you, but the Big Damn Kiss moment is *CHEF KISS*: the setting, the tone and the resolution HSGDKJS, I would've slow clapped if i could've (I was holding my phone lol)
Reading that scene, I thought to myself : F*** YES! This person gets it hahaha !!
My own Zelink Big Damn First Kiss moment shares a lot of similarities with that fic so, Im going to say it now: when 'll post the Zelink first kiss i'm currently crafting, be sure to know that Socksock and their fic Displaced did something in the same general vibe FIRST! They are awesome.
I hope i answered your question haha
Have a great day!

Do you have a tag for your comics like your unclenched jaw comic?
I ACTUALLY DON'T, i SHOULD and at times I've tried to have scattered organizational tags but they've never been consistent. new year's resolution: go thru my backlog and actually just hit everything with a basic "my comics" or "comics" tag. ty for the reminder lol!!!
#my 'my art' tag is pretty consistent and you WILL eventually hit them all if u scroll thru that i think#but like. obviously that has a lot of other stuff thats not comics

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks to @ninzied for the tag!
How many works do you have on ao3?
120!
What's your total ao3 word count?
1,371,932
What fandoms do you write for?
RWRB, TMFU, Lokius
Top five fics by kudos:
Please Don't Let Me Be So Understood
Nova, Baby
Class(room) Warfare
All the Old Showstoppers
Always Where I Need To Be
Do you respond to comments?
I try. I used to be very good at responding but my backlog has gotten extreme (1491 unanswered comments as of right now, if you're curious) so at this point I pretty much only answer if it's a chapter in an ongoing multichap, or someone asks a question.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I have a caradin fic that's straight up a break-up fic with no resolution, but I still feel like my angstiest is probably Black Moon (napollya), because they're in love but the situation is so fucking bleak. Sorry guys.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Any of them that end with a proposal lol? I've got a lot of fluffy fics and all of my long fics end with pure fluff, so I don't think I could pick out one.
Do you get hate on fics?
I have been lucky not to really get any, at least lately. I've gotten... less than polite comments, of course, but no outright hate (knock on wood).
Do you write smut?
Yes, although I would not say it's an integral part of my writing tbh.
Craziest crossover:
Craziest might be Maybe, This Time, which is a Mandalorian/BSG crossover that involves dimension-hopping lol.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! I've had a few of my TMFU works translated and now there's someone in the RWRB fandom that translates most (!!) of my fics into Mandarin, which is mind blowing and flattering and I'm so grateful because I've gotten comments from people who have read them translated and loved them.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not yet!
All time favorite ship?
I don't think I can pick one; some of my past ships are just that—past—but there are a few I will carry in my heart forever.
What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
If I want to finish it, I will, even if it takes a long time. I might stop wanting to finish a wip, but that's not the question is it?
What are your writing strengths?
Banter/dialogue, action, pacing, plots. People have told me that they can picture my scenes like a movie because of the description and that makes me feel good.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Although I have my moments, I don't really tend to think of my writing as beautiful. I'm just not that poetic/lyrical.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
Sure! If it's in my own fic I usually have a native speaker look over it (I haven't done this lately but I have gotten Russian consults for TMFU fics).
First fandom you wrote in?
Xena: Warrior Princess, back when that show was airing. Fanfic primarily distributed over internet mailing lists and posted on your own website.
Favorite fic you've written?
Stealing Nina's idea and doing one in each of my main fandoms I've written in because it's hard to pick (even then this was rough).
Nova, Baby Series—Spy AU, Firstprince
Love is a Losing Game—Chess AU, Napollya (SHOCKER I KNOW)
What Makes a Good Man Series—Spy AU, Lokius
Here It Goes Again—The Mandalorian (Caradin but mostly Din character study in a time loop)
I'm not sure who's been tagged and who hasn't or even everyone who has done this, but a few tags below the cut. If you'd like to do it, jump in!
@kiwiana-writes, @rmd-writes, @three-drink-amy, @cricketnationrise, @14carrotghoul
@leaves-of-laurelin, @tintagel-or-cockleshells, @inexplicablymine, @firenati0n, @liminalmemories21
@orchidscript, @sparklepocalypse, @loki-is-my-kink-awakening, @mirilyawrites, @heytheredeann
