more hlvrai x yume nikki au stuff!!!

this post is gonna have a lot more text than my usual posts. so sorry if you don't want that.

so people seemed to really like my idea (which is really unexpected !! i didn't expect it to gain any attention at all!!! but its also super awesome and im so glad they do!!) so ive been brainstorming a little bit.

heads up i know yume nikki is a very ambiguous game but im pretty new to it so if i happen to get any established information wrong please let me know !? ty !!

anyways. before we do the effects. please take some sprites.

(body horror ((multiple eyes, messed up limbs, gunshot sounds)) under the cut!!! pls stay safe !!! ) (also a huge lore dump. sorry!)

id think this au takes place in a universe where the resonance cascade was real (aka not a game or simulation) and it'd be like, maybe a few months after it. gordon is traumatized as hell and it haunts his subconscious to the point he feels the need to isolate himself completely. he relives his trauma through eerily consistent dream worlds and then dies on a random tuesday. credits roll. audience cheers. wonderful story.

the vision for the sprites is that tommy functions as a "friendly" npc (like monoko and the other girl i forget the name of please forgive me) and benrey functions as poniko, uboa being "xenrey" or essentially messed up alien benrey (the weird...white...blood....world...room...uboa takes you to when you interact with it is simply replaced by xen. that's it. benreys house is a direct gateway to that time gordon fought god and won and isn't that amazing.)

i might remake the "uboa" sprite in the future because i don't really like it right now. im very new to pixel art and imitating YMNK's style is a little hard.

i like to think this imaginary game would have the teensiest tiny bit of dialogue, only when interacting with benrey. when you interact with his "regular" form, he says "you're not supposed to be here." and repeats it every time you interact, not saying anything else.

i know one of the biggest things that makes yume nikki stand out is its lack of dialogue, but listen, i think it would work well!!! seeing as this is the only time a character actually talks to gordon through understandable dialogue (unless i come up with something else!! haha) i think it would be confusing and throw players off because it breaks the pattern of being either ignored or silently acknowledged. someone talking directly to you after hours of isolation is confusing and unpredictable. which is what benrey is. confusing as hell!

im not sure what function tommy would offer, if any, i kinda want him to maybe give gordon an effect (soda effect could work?)

i dont think he'd bring any jumpscares or intentionally unsettling things to the table. seeing as he was the only one by gordon's side when the rest of the team proved itself to be a threat, i think it's logical he'd remember tommy in a warmer light than the others- which is reflected in how instead of unsettling or ignoring gordom, dream tommy simply smiles and gives him the ability to drink a soda any time. soda effect.

does this soda effect make you see faster like tommy said?

as much as i'd love to, no. probably not. because i have no idea what the hell seeing faster means.

maybe you can get a caffeine overdose. if you spam 1 enough times you will get very fast for as long as the soda effect is on. like the bycicle effect, but better, because you can taste it!

but no, it won't help you see faster. i don't know how to translate that sentence into understandable english.

now, coomer and bubby!!!! i apologize very deeply for i have not made sprites for them yet. i promise i will!!! it's just very late today and if i draw anything else i will actually just pass out.

im not very sure what i want for them yet. i think theyd be similar to tommy, but they'd have different functions. maybe they all give gordon different effects. or maybe they scare him! i dunno, i feel like there'd be a certain level of distrust from gordon to the old guys, like, of course he doesn't hate them but itd be hard to remember them super kindly and harmlessly when one of them ruthlessly tried to murder you with 300 clones of himself and the other tricked you into an ambush that cost you your arm, as much as you love them.

also!!! i completely forgot gordon lost an arm when i made his sprite. oops. it's okay its just a very realistic prosthetic

anyways. this post is getting too long so i think I'll save the boomer talk for when i actually post their sprites. its time for EFFECTS !!

i haven't been able to come up with many words yet. but i have some effects and a slight idea of how gordon would earn them.

concept art is beautiful

from left to right (because my handwriting is absolutely hideous!)

SODA - earned by interacting with TOMMY. wherever tommy is??? i dunno! pressing 1 will make gordon drink the soda and earn a temporary speed boost.

CAR??? - part of me really wants to rename this one but it's so funny to me i want to keep it. it's just a car. he literally just whips out a car and starts driving. what a legend. this effect lets him get across water areas faster (even faster than the soda!)

LONG HAIR - literally just gives him long hair. there is no practical use for this. nothing will happen. it just gives him long hair. isnt he beautiful.

ARM - earned by interacting with a dismembered arm found... somewhere.... probably some dark room. you know that effect where madotsuki literally just becomes a head? yeah. this is that but it's an arm because of course it is. this is an opportunity and i will not give it up. there is no use for this either. it just makes him a slow sad lonely arm.

MINIGUN - found by interacting with a certain object in POTION !! WORLD !! YEAHHH!! DARNOLD REFERENCE !!! pressing 1 will let you shoot the hell out of your enemies and make them pay for their sins

SWEET VOICE - found by interacting with any of the orbs in COLOR WORLD. 1 will allow gordon to song a beautiful, colorful song that will soothe any npcs he might have angered and make them stop trying to murder him.

POWERLEGS - MAYBE given by coomer npc? idk! this is all brainstorming and a work in progress! 1 makes gordon jump real high, allowing him to reach otherwise unaccessible areas

GHOST - ghost. he's a ghost. he's transparent. he flies. 1 makes him do a little ooooo noise and all the npcs run away from him because the place is haunted. ghost.

GLASSES - literally just pick up some glasses from the floor. putting them on will uncover a few hidden details across the map that may be necessary for progress ... like a very small and specific set of stairs

SMALL - makes gordon very small. i thought the original effect was super fun so i just kept it unchanged. small gordon. he can clone himself and make a gordon army. small. im thinking he finds it thru a coomer clone that is abnormally small. he interacts. small effect. small!

SHORT HAIR - literally just short hair. gordon can't seem to pick a haircut!

UMBRELLA - ...umbrella. makes it rain. shelters gordon from the rain at the same time. can be used for the same purpose it has in yume nikki which is putting out fires or stopping pre-existing rain.

there's supposed to be more effects and i still need to plan all the worlds and hidden rooms but ........ maybe when the sun is out and i have slept and i can think better !!! let me know whatever suggestions or ideas you guys have. i love hearing them a lot ^_^ thank you if you read all of this!! i promise hlvrai animations are not over this is just an au that has temporarily taken over its okay my content is not changing to yume nikki hlvrai only

gordon no

i have a mortal kombat oc in the works so heheheee get ready to see them!! soon... when im not dying in school once again (its the final stretch of my term and im screaming)

in case u do wanna know a bit, i have some cursory rambles below. but pls dont take every detail down here to heart yet since theyre tentative!! very likely gonna change along the way.

full name: Rhy'savyn "Rhys" Alunan.

in the 1st/2nd timelines tho, they're only known as rhy'savyn (rhys for short) and doesn't have a surname. this is because they're like, half-human, half-outworldian species. however, they never got to know their human father in the first two timelines. they've always wanted to, but smth smth unfortunately lost contact with him?? they have the displeasure of eventually learning that he passed away later on in their lore, and so they live in their respective realm in outworld.

however bc of their half-human nature, they're seen a bit as an outcast of their species (i actually created the species! they're called Silvarians, and visually they're like a combo btwn dryads and wood elves. so yah, nature-based powers and jazz like that. not on like the same scope of power as Cetrion but u get what i mean) due to having a lesser affinity to magic. their mother and some relatives/friends are like the only few people nice to them, but rhys had to work quite hard to earn even a nick of respect.

1st/2nd timelines, Rhys's kind is actually sorta... brinking extinction? not quite sure how to back it up quite yet but I can imagine Shao Kahn's usurping of the throne definitely worsens that scenario.

in Liu Kang's new era tho, he obviously says "nah that's not happening" and basically the Silvarians are thriving again!! woohoo!! we love a guy trying his damn best to give everyone a happy destiny. he also gives his timeline's version of Rhys connection to their Earthrealm side/family, ergo their father also doesn't die and they kinda both live and visit between Earth and Outworld. hence, this Rhys is more like. chill (lack of better word) and obviously is much more happier and energetic, yada yada. this is also where Rhys gains their surname.

they still have to deal with being treated somewhat differently for being half-human and having lesser magic affinity, but they're not straight-up outcast i can imagine. i have a hc that their mother was a victor in a prior tourny, hence ppl in Silvaria try not to fuckin mess with Rhys anyways. though, it still happens.

i'm still trying to decide Rhys's fighting style but i settled on their current ones in MK1 timeline being eskrima (philippines-based martial arts. also i do recall it was Quan Chi's fighting style throughout like 5 games) and kuntau. (chinese martial arts practiced in SE asia)

(icyww yes Rhys is filipino on their human side. voiceclaim would definitely be vanille velasquez aka Neon's VA from VALORANT. although Rhys has like, probably deeper of a voice.)

they also actually do archery, but i'd imagine that'd probably make up like a bare amt of their moveset (their bow can actually turn into the dual blades they use in their eskrima fighting style) and would probably be smth they show off more in an x-ray or fatal blow. or they likely do use different weapons in past timelines, but that i'll decide soon LMFAO

#luorambles #mortal kombat oc #luphorics oc: rhy'savyn #rotating rhys in my head rn i am ITCHING to draft their design rn but i cant bc of uniiiiiii AAAAAAAARGH #soon guys

for the coquette ask game: fav drink + what got u into the community <3

ok so my fave drink to go is cherry cola!! but also i love horchata

And as for what got me in the community, so for some lottie lore I got into it through larme kei when I was trying to figure out my style. I stumbled upon Schyler Reign's blog which at the time i think coquette was called nymphet so through there I liked it! Eventually I fell off and went hiatus off my tumblr. So now I discovered the community through tiktok (pls bare with me) and thought about reviving my tumblr acc. I went back and eventually relearned the history pf coquette and I'm still learning!

I love how the community contributes bit by bit that doesn't just have ONE aesthetic. Coquette to me is like a general term like Lolita Fashion! Under coquette there's different styles and they are all coquette. Grunge, fairy, nymph, americana and for me personally I can make art coquette (I have to find a better name lol). I like that you make coquette to fit your style!

mouse do you have any thoughts about batim/batdr? ur the only person I know who's interested in it rn 👀

OMGOMG HIII (pls check my tags for why this tooks so loong)

I am a big fan!! I was super into batim as it was first coming out, I think the lore is fascinating and I adore the art style! I have been really wanting to get back into it for a long time, but since I can't buy the game rn I'm trying to find a playthrough to watch 😅

As for batdr I unfortunately don't know much about it, since again I couldn't play it myself and was struggling to find playthroughs; miraculously though I have so far been able to avoid most spoilers 💪 I have so many videos and posts saved for when I finally get caught up on it LMAO

Since I don't know the latest lore I feel like I'm not informed enough to have too many opinions, but I would really really love to get back into it! Definitely in my list of things to check out when I have time. Would love to talk about itore of it should ever suit your interests 👉👈

Thanks for the message!!

#HIIIIII OMGGGG #TYSM FOR THE ASK #I feel so baaaad I have no idea how long this has been in my inbox 😭😭😭😭#i swear i look at my notifs every time I'm online and I never got informed that you sent me this #im so sorryyyy i know it's probably been a minute since youve been on full swing batim/batdr lmfaooo #anyway. i prommy it wont happen again please send me more asks i love hearing from my beloved mutuals 👐#i am always down to talk about shared interests!#asks

what are the things you love and hate about all of the pokemon games you played?

Well now I can say I have played gens six and seven, but I haven't finished them yet so I'm just gonna post down what I like abt em so far hahah

I'm also adding the spin offs bc they're also pkmn games

Anyways under the cut hahah

Red/Blue/Yellow - honestly... I just liked that Pikachu can follow us on Yellow, wish they kept that feature all throughout each games, it only came back on HGSS, SwSh, BDSP, and ScVi. Also the fact I can get all three starters hahah

Starting from gen one

Crystal - Kris supremacy, the highlight of it really, also really dope we can visit another region post game

TCG for the GBC - it's fun, made me understand the card game a bit better back then hahah

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - HOENN SUPREMACY ough this is home in game form fr, this and BW/BW2, but more on this really hahaha it's cool the contests are cool actually, love the starters, they're the first starter trio where I liked all of them, love the characters, I love my son Wally so much, May/Brendan too, Wallace the true Hoenn Champion in my heart (Emerald bias), the best roster of mons, I could go on really

FireRed/LeafGreen - I mean.. idk. It's an improved version of gen one I'll tell you that but yeah

Platinum - Torterra, Garchomp, Riolu, and the contests (yes I liked the contests here too, the contests here low-key better than in gen 3 ngl)

HeartGold - love the pkmn following feature for real, it's so cute, it's dope, wish they added that in gen five hcnxnx

PMD Red/Blue Rescue Team - Red Rescue Team was my intro to pmd, fucked me up so much I had to use the HP cheat lmfaoooo but it's fun tho hahaha

PMD Explorers of Sky - changed me as a person, really dope, the characters are cool, I just hated Chatot at the start lmfao, but dude this game is so fuckin dope pls cndmdn the way Hero and Partner are so soft and I love how they're still together even post game they mean so much to me your honour🥹

White - my absolute beloved omfsssss everything's so cool okay everything abt it is so cool, love the characters man and the story too, dyou know how cool it was seeing all the Gym Leaders interact and fight Team Plasma, dude that blew my mind back then lmfaooo also c'mon the Tao Trio? You mean the greatest Legendary trio? Hahaha

Black 2 - same w White, it's so cool, everything's so fucking dope, plus PWT

Conquest - I like the art style lmfao

X - Diantha my beloved, also the pokemon petting thing I'm just sad it's a bit lag on my emulator but still I really love this feature hahaha

Ultra Sun - the starters, and the pokemon petting thing again hahah

Omega Ruby - look you already know how much I love Hoenn, plus this has mega evolution and it has the dexnav! Also the pokemon petting thing ofc lmfao also also love how they improved Magma and Aqua really idk I just cnmdnd god ORAS Team Magma and Aqua my beloveds jcdmdn

PMD Gates to Infinity - look I just know that Hydreigon isn't really the big bad guy okay and I'm so happy abt that bc it's usually the Dark/Ghost types that are villains in these games so it's a nice change that Hydreigon isn't a villain

Super Mystery Dungeon - man the scene from the start w Nuzleaf looking at the hero and the hero was giving him puppy eyes killed me okay it lives in my head rent free and I wanna draw smth abt it

Unite - ah yes, the moba game, anyways it's dope if you're winning lmfaooo also it's dope Gengar's there they should buff him actually, I think Hex and Sludge Bomb deserve buffs

TCG online/live - the online one was dope, I still miss my Zamazenta deck to this day

Masters EX - the lore chdmdnd they should add more Diantha lore please I am begging😭

Cafe Remix - it's cute, I love the art style of it hahah

Now for my gripes for all these lmfaooo

Red/Blue/Yellow - it's boring as hell. I don't like the fans of this one too, most just couldn't accept that people like the newer gens and they always shit on people if they don't like gen one

Crystal - other than not being able to get Mareep, nothing much, they do have a point w the level scaling tho

TCG for GBC - I mean tbf I understand why it's not mentioned much there's not much to it but it's still fun for killing time

Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - how back breaking it was finding Feebas I honestly gave up, also what the fuck was that Regis mission man💀

FireRed/LeafGreen - same w RBY

Platinum - it wasn't a fun experience for me, it's slow as shit, and I'm pretty fucking sure majority of the people who like this game only likes Cynthia. Fr, no hate on Cynthia, she's a dope character, but she's like the Charizard of the pkmn characs really, she gets everything and is everywhere, how abt giving a chance to other Champions

HeartGold - a bit slow, but not DPPt slow at least, also again w the level scaling

PMD Red/Blue Rescue Team - this would've been so so dope if it weren't for the fact that after the story, Hero and Partner became nothing but normal recruits. Like all that buildup of Hero wanting to stay for Partner, and suddenly they're just like normal recruits, it sucks

PMD Explorers of Sky - Aegis Cave

White - idk but for me it's hard to level up in this game, also the fact the E4 didn't do much on screen, like I wanna know what they did during Plasma's attack

Black 2 - it's,, well it's how the previous characters interacted really, I wish there was more of it, I wanted to see the Gym Leaders interact w each other during the games, pls I wanted to see Bianca and Iris meeting at Castelia bc I know they met up there again please I just know it

Conquest - I think it's a skill issue on my bit but the gameplay was just so confusing for this one, and no I don't mean the battle gameplay, that I got, more on the,, recruiting bit and using of items and everything else—

X - I can't say it's easy just yet bc I really haven't made much progress so hey, for now I'm gonna say at how fucking long it takes when you get an item like dude why does it take so fucking long💀 also the lack of Diantha scenes, she deserves more, honestly she deserves so much better

Ultra Sun - have not finished this so no solid judgement but for now Imma say it's how tedious it is levelling up your mons and idk if it's a skill issue on my bit but like,,, do they really give off such a small amount of exp?? Idk, granted, my pkmn was a bit over levelled hahah

Omega Ruby - Granite Cave man I can't get Aron early on now ncmxnx

PMD Gates to Infinity - again, haven't progressed much so I don't really have a solid judgement for this

Super Mystery Dungeon - same w GTI

Unite - the abysmal matchmaking, the fact that ftp players don't have a way to get gems even if it's through events or missions, the devs thinking gem locking pkmn was a grand fucking idea, the way they can't balance their mons some are just too squishy and some are still strong despite the nerfs, also have I mentioned the matchmaking? Dude fr standard is either full of bots or I get matched w players who don't even know the objectives even if I'm telling them where to gather chxmxn

TCG online/live - live was honestly so so shit and a lot of players agree like even the cards aren't balanced Jesus Christ also it's lag as shit you can't even do anything most of the time and suddenly you lose also fun fact this game almost broke my fucking phone I almost couldn't exit the game and I had to forcefully reset my phone to save it lmfao

Masters EX - I haven't played this much yet for a solid judgement too but damn is the download time for this is slow as shit and fucking crashed on my tab. Also the lack of Diantha lore, pls they should add more abt Diantha she deserves it

Cafe Remix - idk ig it's the fact I'm broke and can't afford stuff in this game bc almost everything needs real money to get, I really thought this was an offline game at first hahah

#an ask and an answer #anon #anyways #rse🤝eos having the shittiest missions involving the regis #honestly man wtf was aegis cave #do you know how backbreaking it also was finding the right unown letter for the mission💀#and most of the time you find the right letter it doesnt drop the goddamn stone like cncmcnd #at least if youre playing on an emulator theres quicksave when you do encounter it #so you can just quickload numerous times till you get the stone #also #emulator fast forward option my absolute beloved #if it werent for that going through platinum would've been my personal hell #honestly it really is even w that idk it really wasnt a fun experience for me lmfao

HI! I really like your genshin streamer headcanons! I don't know if your requests are open but if it's is, can I also request the streamer headcanons but with aether and albedo? Thank you!!! U hope you see this! 🍨-anon

file details various x gn!reader genre - fluff fluff fluff and headcanons cw - none (i think) a/n - yes yes yes!!! blond boy streamer supremacy!! thanks for the request! i really had a hard time with aether, hope this is good enough! for anyone wondering, this is a part two to this post.

aether

i literally had no vibes for who he would main. at first i thought a brimstone main (i dunno man i have no idea) but then i thought about astra and i decided yes. why? because of stars.

he’d totally play support characters since his sister, lumine, plays a lot of agro characters and duelists. (side note: she mains jett) they play perfectly off of each other and people always comment on how they seem to be able to read each other’s minds.

he’s a very defensive player and is usually buying for lumine since he always seems to have credits. he either hard carries or lumine hard carries when they play, there’s no in-between.

he also plays a lot of among us. when he and lumine are imposters, they’re almost unstoppable. lumine kills while he gains alibis and trust. the twins are probably also the ultimate codenames players.

i can’t see aether not playing multiplayer games. he’s always playing with his sister on stream, and off stream with you, whether it be animal crossing or fireboy and watergirl (does anyone even remember that game lmao).

your relationship is very private. chat knows he has a s/o but they don’t know who it is, but ever since he went into a relationship with you, his streams started to become shorter so he could spend more time with you. his chat started asking questions about it, so he eventually told them and started spamming his emotes, asking to meet you.

one day, you decided you wanted to meet his chat, since you had been lurking that day and wanted to try it out. meeting up with lumine, you all decided that you would play valorant with them and answer questions as you played.

after the stream, his chat would not stop asking about you. even lumine’s stream got swamped with “when is y/n coming back” or “more streams with y/n pls”.

you eventually became a regular occurrence, and once a week you would join them with whatever they were doing. when you played right next to aether, every time either of you got a kill, the other would give them a kiss.

“ace! do i get an extra kiss?”

“alright pretty boy, here it is.”

albedo

viper main. not only does he love the playstyle, he also loves her lore and overall character style. he’s obsessed with science since he majored in science before he went into streaming.

most of his streams are art streams and a once-weekly karaoke stream. he often draws “random people” he saw on the bus or train plus fanart and often sings “random songs” he heard on the radio. he’s really well known on twitter for his sketches and his custom emotes.

his voice is so soft and calming and his music covers are so elegant. even if you hate the song, he can make you love it.

he plays some valorant, but he’s probably one of those animal crossing players who have the nicest islands. he also probably plays stardew valley cause it’s refreshing. he also enjoys playing games with super deep lore and interesting concepts, so he can go into that.

his playstyle is very patient and calculating. he knows where every single teammate and enemy is going to go and plans accordingly, then waits. when playing animal crossing or stardew, he’s willing the wait the longest time for his crops to grow.

they know he has a s/o. there’s another resident house on his island and that person on the bus or train is usually the same person. his chat has mentioned it once or twice, but it’s so subtle they don’t really notice.

when he finally answers the question, and says yes, his chat freaks out. he doesn’t get why they’re freaking out, since it’s not like it’s a secret, but they still go crazy.

he immediately calls you from your room, and you finally meet the chat, which has to be turned on slowmode to stop the spam. they don’t really see you on stream again, but if they ask nicely, he’ll call you ever so often.

you’ve played some games with him. you can’t play animal crossing together since you share an island, but sometimes you play codenames or among us, and you slowly become integrated into his streaming group.

he’s sorta sad when you can’t join in cause you have to do something, but when you do, it makes his day.

“y/n! can you come in?”

“what is it bedo?”

“i just wanted to see you. and chat did too.”

“what are you drawing?”

“you.”

hello! i just found ur blog and omfg i’m in love with your writing style! may i pls have some soulmate au hc’s for a reader who’s an artist? (i’m indecisive so you can choose who the hcs are with!) so like (insert cc u write for here) has got paint stains on his hands and like assorted sketches and stuff on his skin all the time from his soulmate. ty so much!! :]

masterpiece | quackity

(gn reader, quackity is the loml, reader is so talented but v messy, chat teases q to no end, quackity is the biggest softie in the world but refuses to acknowledge it, plantain slander)

listen to: rainbow connection (cover) by sleeping at last

sweet quackity :((

it starts when he’s eighteen, and it happens like almost immediately

he got these splotches of purple on his hands and his mom was like ?? are u getting into fights ?? are you okay???

and q rlly doesn’t mind aside from the weird questions when the colors are a little too close to red or purple

but!! nowadays mostly you just sketch w a pen

it’s during your classes usually,,, ur an art history major and you need something to occupy your hands (which is actually why you started drawing in the first place)

so during the day quackity will acquire lil sketches of famous paintings,,, or sometimes originals,,, but they’re always washed off before the day is done

sometimes random art facts/theories/studies but he has no idea why someone would write him about van gogh’s use of color

*cue u aggressively scrubbing your skin in the shower bc you always forget how permanent the ink is*

quackity is sort of... hesitant when it comes to writing on his skin. esp with streaming, he’s scared that fans will react badly ,, that negative thought keeps him at bay most days

but sometimes he writes lil notes on his legs,,, where chat won’t see anything ,,,, and they’re always either rlly sweet or rlly weird

(hope ur having a good day)

(hey bestie :P )

(soulmate my beloved)

(will u be the howie mandel to my dr. phil)

that last one made you genuinely worried for your future

badly drawn picture of a duck holding a briefcase (this is me)

which confuses you but as he draws more, you begin to associate him with ducks, and sometimes the duck wears a tie, and sometimes a beanie, and one time he had a giant blue axe which kind of concerned you

but you digress

when you get stressed u finger paint

and it’s just a way to create chaos and feel the cold paint on your skin like idk it’s relaxing yknow :)

quackity is streaming

and he doesn’t realize what’s happening. he’s reacting to attaway general,, and he’s kind of invested

it’s only when he pauses it to make a point that he notices

and he tries to hide it but chat notices right away

panicked!quackity

it’s not that he doesn’t trust chat he just knows things can get negative quickly and he wants his space to be free of that

but someone donates “artist q?”

and quackity lets the joke run

he stands up and pulls the mic super close to his mouth

“i’m in my artist arc chat! nihachu watch out >.>”

“CHAT WE’RE POPPIN OFF I AM A PAINTER NOW I PAINT”

it’s literally so silly bc q knows that chat knows but they’re letting him do his bit

and later that night he checks twitter and artist q is trending, but quackity’s soulmate is also trending

it’s all mostly supportive, and there’s already some rlly endearing fan art of quackity with paint all over his hands

quackity private tweet: ❤️❤️❤️

and he gets a lil confidence boost after that

answers questions abt u on his alt

tells the story of his mom thinking he was getting into fights

“guys paula is still my number one and my soulmate will just have to understand that”

“we already agreed we would both reject each other for taylor swift chat it’s fine”

answers donos and doodles on his hand

which he can do now bc chat knows!!!!

(you’re so talented your honor)

(have you ever seen attaway general?)

(charli d’amelio is in it)

(charli d’amelio is in it shit dixie sorry)

and you’re like !!! it’s on my hand !!!! it’s not hidden at all !!!

this image is so endearing to me like you’ve got paint stains all over your hands and quackity’s scrawl is filling in the empty spaces like he didn’t want to interrupt your work

duck with a beret, a mustache, and a paintbrush (this is me now)

ik he is going to share the most mundane things in a way of showing his love

(i listened to this song the other day)

(i bought a literal plantain today those things are big as shit)

(update: not good :/)

(i’m writing lore)

(i have an exam tomorrow)

just :(( sweet quackity wants u to know every little detail abt his life bc he wants u to know him

and you reply when u can

(added to my playlist!)

(i like plantain chips but i’ve never had the fruit alone)

(rip buddy :/)

(lore? like fnaf?)

quackity finds out you know extensive fnaf lore and the two of you stay up arguing about which is worse: the bite of ‘87 or the bite of ‘83

both of your legs look like newspapers that night and it takes a lot of scrubbing to get all of those off

one day you’re painting smth and quackity randomly gives you his discord

(add me and we can watch game theory together and see who is right)

the two of you end up watching it and getting in call with each other

when you hear his voice it’s like everything falls into place

he fills in all the empty spaces,,, answers all the questions you didn’t realize you had,,,, and he’s so wonderful that you find yourself missing him dearly whenever he’s not on call with you

you join him in calls on his streams sometimes like for jackbox or when he’s cooking

“CHAT MY SOULMATE IS A CHICA KINNIE”

you stop joining him on calls on his stream /s

but chat loves you and always takes ur side over q’s

you get tons of followers on your art account and you even get to sell some of your paintings!!

ur new favorite colors to use are blue and yellow i don’t make the rules

but everyone starts to catch on and they find it really sweet

you catch up on quackity lore solely for him and declare yourself a c!quackity apologist

you’ve definitely retweeted the meme that’s like “if villain bad why hot”

when u guys meet quackity kisses your forehead :((((

when you

a drawing of two ducks holding hands (this is us)

thank you for the kind words and for requesting !!!

Hey so that Dainsleif quest huh 👀

[Spoilers for those who haven't played it yet ofc]

These are just some disorganized initial thoughts for your consideration:

So I'm pretty sure his "travel companion" that he keeps mentioning is our twin

Does that mean our twin has gone to the exact same places as we've been going?? Dainsleif seemed to be familiar with all the locations we visited in Mondstadt but I suppose that could've been from an even earlier journey

And the possibility that the Abyss is trying to mislead us bc we hadn't encountered any abyss mages since Dvalin 🤔🤔🤔 what do they want??? We know (kinda) that our twin is watching our progress and that they're the prince/princess of the Abyss so like are they trying to keep us from getting in the way of their plans so as not to accidentally hurt us? Though something tells me we're gonna get tangled up in it one way or the other lmao

Dainsleif said that his goal is to oppose the Abyss so perhaps he's got his own secret plans to try to stop our twin (as is also supported by what he said at the end of the mortal travails video about proving ourselves worthy of stopping "her"/Lumine probably)

Also turns out I'd been pronouncing his name wrong the whole time lmao I had been saying dains-leaf instead of dains-lif

No Vision as confirmed by his full character model

Also his eyepatch is more of a phantom of the opera mask lmao

Important observation he looks like post timeskip Dimitri from a distance when I had to meet him in Dvalin's Lair I legit thought he was Dimitri for a sec XD

Anyway those were my thoughts about the new quest lmao my internet was cutting out the whole time while I was trying to play like dsfkdksjf pls I just wanted to talk to blond eyepatch man

Important part of this post:

I took a lot of pictures of Dainsleif if you want to use them as references (or appreciation). The pictures are under the read more tag so if you don’t want spoilers, don’t read anything and skip to the read more.

Also, he calls you and your sibling “idiots” through money.

He asks for 500 mora and (this is probably just a coincidence but considering Zhongli tips Xiangling 888 mora I’m sus). The number 250 [二百五] or ( èr bǎi wǔ) means “idiot”.

If someone calls you 250, they can say (nǐ shì wǔ bǎi) or “You are [250]”. But if you give someone 500, this can be taken as saying two people are stupid (250 + 250 = 500). I mean, that’s probably not how it works but I think it’s funny to imagine Dainsleif being too polite to call us stupid.

---

I know right? When I saw the leak for it and seeing it confirmed in patch notes, I was so confused. Wha-Why are you here so early? I wasn’t expecting you for another 5 years at least. I’m happy to see you and your beautiful model in game but at the same time I was so worried that we were going to get crumbs of interactions. Same thing with Guizhong in Zhongli’s story quest. Genshin please...finish your stories (that’s fucking hilarious coming from me considering I still have a part 2 to Childe that I need to write), but I’m honestly just happy that he’s in the game. But yes 👀👀 more lore food.

You know, I was talking about the archons a bit with @maagdalen and, I may have been misunderstanding or reading the wrong message, but they brought up the idea that what if the archons’ personality is based on their regions country's? So for example, Venti’s personality adopts the German mentality because Mondstadt was modelled after Germany? Obviously, I have no idea if that’s true because I’m not from or am German but in the context of Liyue and Zhongli. I can definitely see some sort of connection.

But some food for thought:

“But cyro archon is very viable since she's suppose to be a kind hearted person that needed to be cold for the sake of freedom. or peace. something like that.”

“Sorry, but this is stupidly Russian style. No matter what you say, people will always be dissatisfied. Of course it's not that bad...but it's something to think about.“

But yess, @svnflowery said the same thing. That Dainsleif was Lumine’s “guide” the same way Paimon is our guide. I actually think that’s an interesting idea. That Lumine has gone to the exact same places as we’ve been through. It actually makes me wonder (since we can play as both her and Aether), that Lumine went through the same story line as Aether. She met Venti, Zhongli, everything that’s happening right now. She’s already been through, then when she reached the Khaenri’ah chapter she failed. So she decided to spin the clock back and change destiny. I mean, this is me spit balling and I don’t think this happened but it’s something to think about.

You know funny enough, hasn’t Venti been asleep for a while? Either way, he doesn’t really strike me as the type that truly wants to be an Archon. He says in his voicelines as well that “that’s a problem for Mondstadt to deal with”. So it would be easier for the Abyss Order to mess some things up. While Zhongli has been alive for 6000 years and I highly doubt Abyss Order can do anything to him haha. If we’re going on that “Lumine has already been through this journey” she could be trying to re-make or lead us on the same path.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Dainsleif was our guide, then when Lumine spun the clock back and aligned herself with the abyss, that’s when they split. That could be a reason why he’s trying to oppose the abyss order but really I think it’s because the Abyss Order’s goal is to basically set the world on fire (or something like that). I always pronounce character names wrong and I don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of it. You know who I’m talking about, my pronunciation isn’t completely shit to the point you don’t know. So why do you keep yelling at me??

Also. The most important part of his quest was it was “Aether’s version” of the “We will be reunited” trailer.

It even showed the crushed dandelion flower and the ruin guard footprints. IT’S OUR SISTER.

I knoww, I was searching for his vision and got weird pics but that’s alright, I LOWKEY HATE THE OPERA MASK SO MUCH. GIVE ME ACTUAL MASK. THERE GOES THE “SEPERATE COLOURED EYE” ART OF KHAENRIAH PEOPLE. Yo, knock off Dimitri let’s go.

I love Dainslief’s english voice but I hate Xiao’s en voice. What a dilemma. I usually play in chinese but wow does Dainslief sound old. Jp is slightly better but I hear grandpa vibes. Korean isn’t bad and I actually don’t mind korean xiao so korean we shall go. It’s weird. I like Dainsleif english voices, Xiao chinese voice, paimon korean voice haha. Jp is usually just good all around but I have preferences. But tyty for telling me your thoughts! I’d love to hear about the Xiao quest that just dropped. Beautiful boy

sweats

yeah about that...xiao scammed me. I wonder if his speech changes based on what you say. i kind of doubt it though.

I’m looking at his outfit from every angle while Xiao stays pretty in the back.

I like that you can see his magic arm there.

While on this side you can’t.

I swear this is for research. IM TRYING TO SEE IF HE HAS A VISION. IM INNOCENT!!

he also has some sort of weird...blue thingy on his foot?

Im using Xiao as a personfication of me BUT TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

Epic Kirby 64 Review

20 years late to the party i’ve finally finished korby 64 (not the 64th installment of the series)... and today... i share my thoughts

Favorite copy abilities: Needle-cutter jaws kirby, kirby puking out a giant flaming sword and swinging it around, ice-skater kirby, kirby covered in spiky objects (pencil, cactus, bee butt, etc), kirby that’s exactly the same except he throws dynamite

Honorable mentions:

- That water drop sound effect whenever kirby hits a body of water - WADDLE DEE (is this waddle dee the same one as bandana waddle dee? pls say yes) - Kirby’s giant ass warp star phone

Honestly i love just the whole art style of this game... Don’t get me wrong kirby looks cute in every game but this one was especially adorbs. Also back to copy abilities, THE COMBO-SYSTEM IS SO GENIUS! i wish they brought it back (they kinda did in Star Allies but it’s not the same, i want kirby turning into a flaming crossbow again)

Things i didn’t like: NOTHING i loved it... Ok but no meta knight tho U_U Also this isn’t really a negative but i had to look up how to get some crystal shards, if it weren’t for online guides i would have never 100%’d this game

Speaking of which i didn’t even realize you have to collect every single shard to get the true boss and ending of the game- When that fairy princess made an evil face at the bad ending i was instantly like “ok i fucced up”.

As for the final boss, Zero 2 was pretty easy to beat (as opposed to miracle matter who owned my ass several times in a row). In fact Zero 2 made me kinda sad... like the kinda sad music and the bandage on the top of its head, and the way it flailed violently whenever you hit it. Idk much on kirby lore so im not sure if it’s 100% evil or not so yeah.

IN CONCLUSION

Do you think the skeleton guy could be Audric from Tevinter Nights?

Hello!

It certainly could be. With the resemblance to Nevarran design influences (top row) and the emerald-green magic fire (the color of Mourn Watcher Myrna’s magic) we can see going on at the skull, Skellington is almost certainly a Mortalitasi or a being connected to the Mortalitasi in a manner like Audric Felhausen / Curiosity. (I don’t necessarily mean literally/magically connected like controlled or bound btw, just in the standard ‘associated with’ way). If is him it would be cool; we’ve never interacted with a spirit of Curiosity before have we? and with his preoccupation for architecture I’d be extremely Here for him dropping fascinating Thedas lore and facts as we go exploring and dungeoncrawling.

I’m not sure how likely it would be in practise though. There were other characters in TN that pinged bigger Possible Companion ‘flags’ to me (this however is very subjective), and I don’t know that the next roster would contain more than one character from the preceding book, if past patterns are anything to go by. I also lean towards preferring less old/known (pre-existing in side-media is still known), more Totally New in terms of ratio. My preference would be that Audricuriosity’s experience was in part a setup for like the “this is how a spirit possesses a corpse in the Nevarran context and what that’s like” stuff in ‘preparation’ for new character of this kind in DA4. We had Justice in Kristoff’s rotting body and Cole/Compassion manifesting himself in the mundane world in like, a self-manifested corporeal-at-will imitation of the deceased human Cole, but no spirit in a mummified body or in a skeleton, and no spirit in this kind of situation with a Nevarran slant. And though Audricuriosity's possession was an accident from the incident at that funeral, so he wasn’t technically one of the Mortalitasi-prepared ‘host’ bodies or one of the spirits they’d invited across the Veil to inhabit one, he was definitely heavy on the Nevarran and Mortalitasi flavor, so he [potentially in my ideal world I mean] was kinda a sneak peak at the ‘Undead Spirit In Dead Body With Big Nevarra Flavor’, thing. Another point would be that altho Audric's host body in TN wasn't described in detail it had a sagging face and dried blood crunching in its chest, so it was non-skeletonny and it had only died the other night. In the attire of a guardsman also he wouldn't bear much resemblance to the concept art figure. Clothes can change though, and the flesh on the bones could decompose over time before DA4. Justice was rotting lol.

I’d be especially interested in an ‘undead’ who’s been around for ages and seen a lot of stuff, like imagine the stories they could tell from all that time? Imagine helping a spirit with its host’s unfinished business that it became unmeshed with? A ‘loyalty mission’ like Myrna’s aiding Curiosity in TN, but on a grander scale because game? Or exploring the spirit’s potential identity [issues] and trying to find their ‘remedy’? Audricuriosity’s situation in terms of identity and stuff was kinda different to Cole/Compassion’s scenario. TN hints a bit about the fact that entities as “complete” as Audricurioisty are rare and that some of the Mortalitasi argue that these “higher dead” hold fast to their moral souls. Others say this is impossible and that these entities are caught between two spirits. I wanna meet one of these “higher dead” beings!! It sounds so interesting. What’s the truth of their nature, like which faction of Mortalitasi are right about them, if any? Preferably the spirit ‘aspect/s’ of said hypothetical char are different to Audric’s Curiosity/Anger in order to see something completely fresh. And extra preferably the spirit is possessing the dead body of a deceased Mortalitasi, so that we can have a Mortalitasi perspective and lore dump (the spirits ofc having access to some of the memories or ‘echoes’ of the host body) at the same time as having an undead Skellington. 📖 💀

I’d love to meet Audric/Curiosity, Myrna and Emmrich on a visit to the Grand Necropolis, though. Pls let us dungeoncrawl the Grand Necropolis BioWare. (imo a Temple of Mythal-arc style foray through the Necropolis to get or uncover some secret would be amazing.)

decided to make a list of fandoms i'm a (small) part of that i have experience w posting in and follow artists in, and the types of things i see get the most notes or responses to

Yogscast: The fandom is intensely large, and the ratio of old fan to lore fan to true fan is incredibly unbalanced. I’d say 80% old fans who enjoy fanart or fan news and nothing more, 11% true fans who actively produce said fanart or generate active fan discussion and keep up to date with things, and 9% lore fans who are mostly off to one side roleplaying and having fun with headcanons.

Invader Zim: Given it’s my oldest one it’s the one I have the most experience with but most of that experience is old and outdated. The fandom is very old by now, so there’s not much room for hype art. I’d say it’s split pretty evenly between old fans and new fans, given that a lot of old fans permanently fell out of touch w it. The only things i think will ever get any traction are contributing to well-recognized fanlore, popular ships, or popular fanfics.

Portal: fucking anything and everything bc most of the fanart or fanfics are one-shot-wonders and are only done bc the person making it played the games once and liked them - hardcore fans are so hard to come by, we’re all feral and wanting more, permanently unstated.

TF2: cute, thirst, angst, shitposts, or cool edgy shit - the fandom’s excited for pretty much anything bc fanartists are common but canon material is so rare. Old and new fans have very little distinction between them, except in-game, where the distinction between fans matters most. You either play it actively, or you played it a few times in gimmick servers with friends when you were 16 and haven’t let go of the characters since. No in-between.

Steven Universe: Pretty loud and proud fans, but not much for commentary on fanart posts. They love pretty much anything, and seem to have a preference for artists who mimic the style perfectly over artists who use their own style. Hard to say much when the source material says it all. Fancomics and fanfics get quite a bit of vocal reception, so AUs and fancharacters and headcanons are the most popular, it seems.

Pokemon: Honestly plain ol fanart is the most popular with fanfics, fanlore, and headcanons getting a hard second. Fans are pretty split between the games, the anime, and the manga, with some significant overlap. I don’t rly see a whole lot of people who are into all 3? This is another immensely huge fandom, bigger than Yogs, so really ur better off making your own little niche corner and seeing who sticks. Plain fanart is most popular bc headcanons and fanlore vary so intensely between fans, that just drawing a cool pic is enough to please most anyone looking for more. Also fancomics are pretty popular too.

thats all i got rn i think, if u actually read this post then thank u so much i did not expect u to actually read my ramblings

also pls keep in mind this is from my perspective so it’s biased to my dash and my mutuals and ppl i follow across different platforms

#intercom #idk what to tag this as lmao #text heavy

Devlog #2 - 22/10/2018: What about an isometric perspective?

Hey, what’s up?

Today we’re gonna talk about the first steps of our game. As you’ve already seen in our first Devlog, we intend to share an alpha-demo with you guys until mid-November and that’s around one month from now. But this idea was born somewhere between July-August and we’ve been talking a lot about Edom since then.

THE FIRST IDEAS

We gave birth to Edom way before we would stop to think about names. Back in the day, it was only four of us: Jão, Carol, Paulo and me (again, I talked about the team in the last Devlog). Actually, everything started with a wish Carol had. She didn’t exactly think of whole a game, but a specific character: Ariel (if you’ve been following us on Twitter and Facebook, you probably have already seen something about her). She not only imagined the character physically but also had some ideas concerning Ariel’s personality and background. It was only a matter of time before me, Dave, becoming the guy who would create a more sophisticated lore concerning the character.

In our first meetings, we talked a lot about what we had imagined for the game, if Ariel would be the only char available and what really was our purpose with Edom. After a few minutes exploring the initial ideas, we got to a common-sense: it should be a horror game. But we still wanted to create something different from what we’ve been seeing out there.

youtube

Srsly, listen to this awesomeness

Firstly because we still have some limitations (and this is our first serious project, therefore we have no experience with this whole thing). We wouldn’t be able to create a 3D Game in this very moment since none of us is exactly a master at 3D-modelling and stuff like that. Secondly, we really wanted to challenge ourselves with a project that could explore our abilities. More than that, we wanted to create a thrilling atmosphere in a pixel-art style, what we initially imagined it wouldn’t be possible (however, we are very optimistic about it right now).

We also wanted to make things different. We have lots of AAA on the market who are filled with jump scares and all these clichés (not saying these are bad games, pls). As a writer, I’m really fond of trying to create an ambiance through a good narrative and other artistical elements. We wish to see players creating bonds with the characters and, once this link has been established, we want (well, I do want) to crush your sanity and your feelings through an immersive plot and environment (seriously, our artists - me included - are working hard to make you cry and ask for your mama or your psychiatrist). And I’m really confident that it’s gonna work.

Thanks a lot @the_games_guild

WHY ISOMETRIC? WHY?

We’ll get there soon, I promise.

So, we also had to make sure which elements should be applied to the game. I personally wanted something filled with puzzles and enigmas that would sometimes rely on lots of exploration, just like some Survival Horror’s out there. Besides that, one of the feelings that we think it would be nice to explore it is the idea of loneliness and helplessness. To accomplish that, we imagined a huge mansion as the setting, implying that you’re confined, but at the same time, you can get easily lost if you’re not paying attention enough. We also wanted to make this game to be one of those where the players aren’t supported by any kind of power, so… Yah, no guns or baseball bats for you to kill your enemies. You can only run to the hills.

Somehow, at some point of our meetings, we considered that this game could be a weird Metroidvania-like, but we eventually noticed that this wouldn’t be suitable at all. However, the perspective of creating a 2D game, similar to some old point-and-clicks (which I really loved, I’m totally into adventure games) wouldn’t fit as well. And then, someone (I don’t remember who, but I’m sure it wasn’t me) suggested: what about an isometric perspective?

And we were like “woooooooooow”! And one second alter we were like: “but how the duck are we gonna do it? We know nothing about it and we already have this huge idea that probably won’t be finished and…”

And then someone (probably me) was like “IH, RESPEITA O JOGO, RESPEITA O TIME” (that is something like “c’mon, you should respect our game and our idea, and also trust our own abilities, we can do it” but it sounds WAAAY better in Portuguese).

Anyway, isometric just seemed the right thing to do. Then we had our first animations and scenarios created by Carol in a beautiful pixel-art piece of art. Jão was also doubting his skills, but he is the type of person who can do anything (seriously, we call him “the yes-boy”, cause he always says “yes, I will [manage] to do it” to everything). And, well, I’m glad to say it’s working.

This is only a test.

We had a few problems during the first weeks. Since none of us had any experience working with isometric perspective, we had to ask for help from other people from GDP (if you don’t know about it, you should read the first Devlog). It was at this moment that our team got our first new members. Nayara and Tomás were fundamental to help Carol with this new perspective, giving her some tips and making a better job of it. Nayara, currently one of our artists, has also been doing some great job. Tomás would be our Game Designer (yeah, we didn’t exactly have one before everything started), but he decided to focus on other projects - that’s when Victor shows up and saves the day.

Despite the decision, we still thought of the game following up with the previous idea of a Metroidvania, not as a whole but at least some elements and the level design. Part of it would be useful to increase the idea of loneliness mentioned above. We got ourselves guided by Mark Brown Boss Keys’ video talking about The World Design of Super Metroid and we agreed that we wanted to apply the same concept in our game, so the player would feel motivated to explore each corner in each room. And this obviously took us to talk about Level Design.

We also don’t have any experience with LD and puzzles or things like that. Since the beginning, we’ve been studying and researching about it in order to provide good riddles to the players, in a way they may feel rewarded when solving it. If you already played Super Metroid or watched Brown’s video, you certainly noticed this genre presents you with a huge map, but some parts of it can only be accessed once you got a special ability (for example, you can only access a certain passage if you acquire a double/longer jump ability in another point of the game). We really wanted to include this idea of progression in Edom, but how would we do it if our main character is a simple girl?

STOP WITH THIS “CLIFFHANGER” BULLSHIT BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS AND ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION. HOW’D YOU DO IT?

We would create a few more characters. Initially, we imagined only three, but our musician, Paulo, thought of a very specific character and we decided to include his idea. Each character has a “special ability” (nothing really special, but they are good with certain things that the others aren’t, simple as that) and you can only access certain areas if you discover these other “guests” around the house.

That was a good choice since it would help us in three important aspects: a) the Metroidvania progression X reward system, which is awesome and contributes to exploring; b) would make possible for us to think of many creative puzzles, since you can explore the mansion with different characters; c) instead of one character for you to love with all your heart, you have four of them (and consequently your suffering will be four times bigger). We are also testing the portrait system, in which the player may access a portrait of another character and change it whenever he is in an appropriate place to do it (for example, you’re controlling Ariel and you find a portrait of Clarice, then you interact with it and change characters). This system will be implemented, but there’s still a lot to discuss.

You can’t see the changing system, but notice the portrait on the wall.

Things seem to be okay for now. We haven’t faced many problems after that and the pixel-art is flowing. Jão, the programmer, has found some problems with layers in Unity, but after three weeks of intense research (and a lot of coding), he managed to solve it. In the meantime, we worked to add every command that would be important to the game: walk (in 8 directions), run, pull/push, interaction and using special abilities.

I guess this is it for now. We hope to publish here once more this week, focusing a little bit more on the music and writing. Stay tuned. And follow us on our social media (FB and Twitter), since we’re updating them regularly.

XOXO

finished plvsaa yesterday, i still have the special episodes to do but that can wait until after my brother has played the game

personally, i loved it

it was a great crossover of my two favourite video game franchises, with fun references back to both of them. it was super nice to see trilogy era nick and maya again. the ending twist was incredibly convoluted, but i’d expect nothing less from the pl writers. the story was compelling and the art styles were combined incredibly well. i really loved how well the characters went together. i also loved the idea of being able to object to puzzles w ‘contradictions’ in them, i wish that had been used for more than just the one puzzle. i’m also glad they didn’t bring in the ace attorney gimmicks (psychelocks etc) b/c i love them but they would’ve probably confused players who weren’t familiar w/ ace attorney lore. it helped make the game feel more like aa1, the strongest game in the original trilogy. it’s definitely a game i can see myself replaying a ton (same as all the pl games and every aa game except aa5). it was my dream crossover and i’m really happy with it. it was money well spent

my only complaints would be that there were issues w/ the frame rate lagging in parts (which is excusable as it was early in the 3ds cycle), i wasn’t fond of the multiple witnesses who can be pressed during someone else’s testimony mechanic (it made everything so much more complicated and it was rather convoluted), and how long the reveal and the epilogue took to get through, it was a lot of info dumping w/ the occasional point to present evidence.

i had such high hopes for this game and they were definitely met, i loved the game even w/ its flaws. i would love to see what they’d do for a sequel, however unlikely that is to happen.

#ace attorney #professor layton #plvsaa #ellie talks #text #my fave team up was maya and layton #i loved the section where they were off in the forest together #but yeah i know this game had its flaws #but overall i had such a fun time playing it #i'm such a fan of both franchises so it was the dream
