Ight everyone here's my 2 pieces for the @anachronism-ahitzine

Everyone did an amazing job and I hope I can join more Zines in the future!

First matchup is Elaine! They're poncho buddies :)

I LOVE Elaine's design. The way she looks like space in some parts, lining up with the classic dweller design while also having the minions' cloak is great design choice. The pins are ADORABLE RAAAA. And she ran a shop where she sold homemade clothing?? I love her. She's awesome.

Elaine belongs to @dustedrosedraws and the matchup is for @ahatintime-oc-competition! May the best win!

I LITERrally havent had a new intereest in years like i just been cycling through the same three for like . years now

1, 5, 9, 19 nicole hattytime meme

 when faced with a life or death situation, how does your oc react?

Nicole will first only panic and hide, probably restlessly fanning herself. But she is also a fighter and when faced with this idea is pretty willing to go far to handle it if it comes to it. If it's a natural disaster type of situation she'd probably just hide someone where in her sister's mansion or in Dead Birds Studio.

how would you character feel on the moon?

She'd probably be rather overwhelmed, she doesn't like urban areas very much as she finds comfort in quieter areas. But if she'd been stuck there she'd probably go on a shopping spree. Nicole would also probably sit and stare at the stars once she noticed them.

 does your oc know any of the main cast?

She works in the studio with Conductor and DJ Grooves and tends to butt head with them from time to time especially about space in the studio for sets or storage. She also met Hat Kid and Bow Kid as she worked with them in attempts to with the awards and mess with others. Otherwise she doesn't travel much.

 is your character lgbtq+? if so, what gender(s)/orientation(s)?

She is Bisexual! She sees herself as a woman and tends to dress rather feminine and exaggerative.

fav hattytime paintbrush color scheme thing??? i forgor what theyre called uh. can make hat kid different colors. i like forest critter

SORRY 4 LATE ANSWER. Ive been replaying hatgame & its definitely the blue tf2 one I forgot its name. either battlement or fortress. forest critters cute

In a another life Icould be have work with trains, or even train conducotr, yes, calm autistic put in another country, it could be a pleasant machinery, click clack

Iwas fucking think of conductor as the driver because of hattytime (Whistling angry noisej) Ithink conducot is a better word for driver

have i mentioned how mad mafia town makes me because it makes me very mad. was running around in-game again getting more footage and remembered this. 

good this is useful for my angry mafia town related segment of the rant

like the fact that you find them in a discrete hole that’s hidden behind a box . and they’re just dead down here with shovels. you can just assume they hid out down here and tried to find safety n ultimately paid for it. girls. gfb. why is this totally cool and the mafia are fine i d

i step into the hat game tag after a long time of not doing that. i survey the land. marvelous. wonderful artworks. fantastic. the place is flourishing. splendid. but. I sigh. I walk away. ......they still don't understand them (mafia boss and cooking cat) like i do

there we go that sums it up

What do you hate about vanessa characterization

Alright listen real talk. I'm all for giving horrible antagonistic characters some amount of humanization or rationalization behind their actions. I get it I understand I'm totally for it. But at the same time holy shit how Vanessa's actions get largely ignored, downplayed or brushed under the rug for purposes of "let's get her and the person she abused and murdered to reunite because reasons" makes me so fucking mad

Literally don't care if you want Van and Snatcher to reunite for romantic or platonic purposes. Why would anyone be so desperate to redeem/justify an abuser's actions or pretend that the abused has to - or should - forgive and forget in any capacity. No. Fuck that. Fuck any notion of that

In what world is it a "better" ending or alternative for the victim to just be cool being around their abuser again. Even the GAME didn't try to pull this shit and the game redeemed the Mafia, a bunch of genocidal colonizers. Don't try and lump her in with the forced redemption crew because that's fucked

I don't care how tragic you make Van's backstory or if you go the fun sparkly ableist route of blaming it on a mental illness, I don't want to see her justified. I don't. I really, really truly do not.

Honestly portraying her, as she is during canon's events, in any way as rational or sympathetic or understanding makes me want to maim and kill. It's so tone deaf that I just don't get why someone would do it to begin with. You want to go in-depth with her backstory and explain how she became this way? You want to give me an in-detail look of her thought processes and how they became so twisted and dark? That's delicious, hell yes, absolutely. But the moment you use that as any sort of justification or say she's suddenly redeemable because "awauhghh but her MoM was a BAd PerSon" or whatever then you've lost all of my interest .

Girlies as someone with Bad Experiences who latched onto Snatcher for a bit because of a little bit too much "I felt that" happening when I went through the rift's storybook, coming back to see a staggering amount of fanon totally cool with Vanessa or defending her actions was shocking to me I wouldn't even be mad or surprised if it was going full "oh what an evil bitch I love her" but no it's. Why is there so much. So so much rationalizing or defending of her happening. You can like evil terrible characters and not try to condone or explain away their actions to make them "better people."

like oh no baby what! is you doing??

Hollow Knight should have something like A Hat In Time’s smug dance feature . Just so I can just have Ghost bust it down while I’m waiting for Pure Vessel to finish their introduction sequence

So I was rereading my old AHIT rant last night and aside from the fact it reignited some of the same irritation I felt back when I was writing it. I also ended up ADDING to it while rereading it because I realized MORE that I MISSED the first time.

For instance. Hey remember how mad I was about the Mafia and Mafia Town as a chapter in and of itself. Well I came to another realization about how broken and out of place it feels.

It doesn't even. Matter. What we do in Mafia Town doesn't matter. We don't do anything there that makes any difference. At all. By the end of the game it's pretty much exactly the same as how it started. No meaningful change . happened

And you could theoretically argue that for a lot of the chapters but it's. It's very obvious with Mafia Town. You might be thinking "Well hey we 'killed' their boss right? Without a leader maybe they'll eventually fall apart as they're disorganized or--" Nope! Look at Cruise. The Mafia still regard MB as their boss. He is still treated as such. Even as a jar. And given he hasn't changed at all because character growth is a myth here, it's. Well.

Everything is the same . We didn't do . anything

You could erase Hat Kid's interactions with Mafia Town altogether and it would remain exactly as it was before the game even started

What was the point man !!!!!! Why did we even go there !! By the end of the game it's not like we helped Mustache Girl, either! She's just right back where she started !! On that island !! so whY what was the point of it gfb i don't understand . i don't understand Anything
