It's my last semester in uni I'm trying to hold onto my remaining sanity

pspspsps porretta besties from the dark place who refused to bring this song to its end here's a little something for you. 🎙️

Crazy how time flies ♬

you know how James Stephanie Sterling called The Sinking City the worst game they'd ever liked?

as a website, that's what tumblr is to me.

...unfortunately, it is still the best thing we've got, so I will continue to lurk in the wreckage of this broken code heap, propping it up with sticks (browser extensions) until it collapses under the weight of its own bad decisions

idk but saying jennifer lynn barnes sucks at writing romance because your ship wasn't canon is beyond hilarious to me like okay???? HAHHAHAHA. everyone has their own preferences of course but the vehement hatred for jlb and the belittlement of her writing on booktok and bookstagram (sometimes on here) has been ASTOUNDING.

a note about the "poorly done romance/love triangle" in tig: jlb never said it was going to be "even". no one ever said that. personally pioneering the idea that one character was "not given a chance" does not make it a poorly written love triangle or a poorly written romance. in love triangles, there is usually ALWAYS one option who is simply NOT a real option. look me in the eye and tell me characters jeremiah fisher, aspen in the selection series, gale hawthorne, adam kent, jacob black, and i'm sorry but grayson hawthorne amongst a myriad of others were actual contenders for the main character. if you believed they are/wanted them to be, that's great! but all of these characters are in well known love triangles and at the end of the day, books with love triangles WILL sell because they generate conversation and hype around the book. it is a marketing tactic and you are NEVER promised equal opportunity from both love interests. you losing the love triangle or that you believe there is wasted potential doesn't mean bad writing has occurred. also, for the love of god, while you are supposed to relate to a character, you are not the main character!! belly, america, katniss, juliette, avery, what have you, all chose based on who they are as characters. and also, female characters don't have to "experience" both love interests to make a decision. if they want to, that's totally fine, but specifically about avery bc this is what this blog is all about, she absolutely knows what she's "missing out" on with grayson and she doesn't care. shipping averygrayson just blatantly feels like ignoring avery's wants and needs.

anyway, if you want to call jlb's writing poorly done bc you didn't get your way, that's totally fine. you are entitled to your own opinion. it's just funny that you say that bc had grayson and avery been randomly thrown together in the epilogue of tfg or something, i have a feeling you wouldn't be of this opinion.

tldr; love triangles are a marketing tactic and you are neither entitled to a win nor is is poorly done/executed if you lose. love triangles, more often than not, have a clear winner from the beginning (coughcough "see? you're already his") but the debate and drama of another character sells the book.

wip thing...

of my bg3 avatar hellebore. i also did some casual nude studies of my 3 characters which i'll put under a cut... rather unlike me after all. (so WARNING for abrupt non-sexual full Artistic nudity lol...,,,,) (< won't be making a habit of this)

they mean the world to me

okay but before i put my laptop away

HIM

AND HIM!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAASHHHJHHNJVFFFDHF

IT CAME AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND LOOK AT IT AAAA ITS THE BOI

So happy with how this came out god, its such a treat for my eyes seeing the Famicom box art back in high quality and in such a beautiful package. It's not perfect but goddamn I don't care I love everything here so much and there's still a lot of fun little details that just make me screm :'D

Crazy to think it took decades to get here, through years of pc emulation and third party repros, by word of mouth and passion from fans and developers alike..... for a while I was sure it would be forgotten eventually.

But we made it. It feels unreal but Gimmick finally has official, physical release again and that's so fucking awesome :')

I don't trust Google translate enough to tell me how to properly say something in Ukrainian but I hope this little doodle of Spring Man sporting some Ukraine colors and love brings you some joy

ZUKAAAAAAAA I'M LITERALLY GONNA CRY RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

HOW ARE YOU SO FAST??!!! I'M HUGGING YOU REALLY TIGHT RIGHT NOW MAN IT'S THE MOST ADORABLE ART OF HIM!!!! 😤😤😤😤💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞 Thank you so so much LOOK AT THIS CUTIE EVERYONE!!!!😭😭😭😭😭

Zuka youre the best I'm literally out of words

I finished act 2 again, but properly this time. and I cannot even begin to put into words how satisfying and beautiful all of that was. I loved act 2 the first time I played, but figuring out how to save the last light this time, properly completing halsin's quest, storming moonrise towers with jaheira and her harpers, seeing aylin reunite with isobel...all of it. I love it even more. and the beginning of act 3 feels all the more rewarding, having fixed my past errors.

i was back on track to finish my soa playthrough for a while there--but then i reached xan's we-survived-bodhi celebration scene

MY MAJI.MA PLUSHIE ARRIVED TODAY AND I AM LITERALLY SO FUCKING HAPPY!!!! HE'S HERE!!! 😭💙

the profound emptiness i feel after finishing baldur's gate 3 is unexplainable

today, September 1st 2023, is officially the 13th anniversary of Jetpack Joyride! to celebrate one of my absolute favourite mobile games, i drew a little sketch of Barry and Craig partying the night away together with some good ol' fashioned totally-not-champagne apple soda :)

i was planning to do a digital drawing, but because i totally definitely didn't forget that JJ's anniversary was today, it might be a bit fashionably late :) happy 13th anniversary Jetpack Joyride!

p.s. ignore the fact that i completely forgot to draw the big crack down craig's visor ssshhhhh i'll fix it later ;) just pretend he got it fixed kk lol
