Blog Manifesto

Umm not sure yet. I wanted to make this a group blog, sort of like an imitation tumblr Community. I have never done this before and I'm kind of dumb.

My thinking is that members, if they wish, would include their username in this here pinned post, as well as the posts they make, if they want to be known and potentially interacted with on their own blog. Shy participants could choose to remain clandestine or use a nickname. Whatever's comfortable!

If you want to join, you have to send me a message either directly to this group blog or to my main.

Rules:

-Generally be respectful. This applies both to members and audience; we're here as a hobby first and foremost. Admittedly I'm not sure what to do in the case of beefs, but conduct should remain in good-faith.

I like to think I'm pretty accommodating, but I do not tolerate bigotry. Comments may be removed, members may be removed, users may be blocked according to my discretion. Please do not take it personally; my purpose is to make a safer place to encourage fandom activities, and I don't imagine this blog being very big anyways.

-Tag your works as best you can. Don't worry too much about it; I imagine that as an admin, I should be able to wrangle them.

Heads-up:

-If we use this like a Community, members can make KNACK posts on their own blogs and reblog them onto this group blog. Know that if you make posts directly with this blog, rather than as a reblog, blocked users won't be able to see them. So if someone has beef with a member and got blocked, but you still want the beefer to see your posts, make the post on your own blog and then reblog it into the group blog, so beefer can still see the post in the fandom tags. Shy persons will have to balance their willingness to be seen. Let me know if that didn't make sense.

-All posts featured on this blog will also be reblogged to my main account. Because my main is meant to be an archive blog. I will tag the reblog with your username(s) or nickname(s) if present.

-I take criticism! I am trying to be a good boy and I'm nervous, but if you need me to switch up how I manage my blogs, or use certain trigger tags etc., you gotta talk to me. Send me a message on main, I won't bite!

How do we explain KNACK to newcomers?

I'll probably make the answer part of my pinned post.

The tricky thing is to acknowledge the shortcomings, so that those who never heard of KNACK before don't have high expectations. But also to explain what is good about KNACK and KNACK 2, why we like it so much. But everyone gets something different out of it! Or interprets it differently!

Some people like Knack. And some people like Knack. And some people like the other characters. And there are so many things I like about KNACK or at least had a hint somewhere to latch onto - I would not stop talking about it (but my brain is a potato rn).

It might also help to know what the creators said of KNACK and KNACK 2.

We'll also want a general premise.

Here's my attempt, which basically summarizes some opening scenes:

In an alternate world, Humans and Goblins live as longstanding enemies. Once banished into the forests, Goblins had eked out a living for themselves, and Gundahar, their ruler, plots revenge. Around the time of KNACK 1, part of the Human faction is shocked to be on the receiving end of modern Goblin weaponry, leaps and bounds in technology compared to the weapons the Goblins had not-long prior.

A meeting among the human faction is held on the property of Doctor Vargas, world-renowned inventor, to establish a recon mission to discover the source of these new weapons. Ryder, a famous explorer, offers his navigation services. Viktor, billionaire industrialist, takes the opportunity to show off the might of his robot army and test their abilities. Doctor Vargas, too, has an ace up his sleeve.

Technology in this world is powered by relics, simple objects of metal and stone obtained from the peculiar ruins of a lost civilization. These unassuming shapes nonetheless provide an endless source of energy. Assumedly, green.

You play as Knack, a being composed entirely of these artifacts, brought to life by the Doctor and your best friend Lucas.

Uh, shit I would continue but my monitor is glitching out. Something something grow bigger with more relics, dodge and punch enemies, trash talk, etc.

Thoughts?

nico is either a minimalist or a maximalist.no in between. either way he does not have a Normal Amount Of Stuff

Vance loves listening to Finn’s space rants 💕🪐 🚀

UKvtw finale is such whiplash for me.

Marina's lip sync getting botched in the edit. I weep, cry and throw up.

Tia being an actual camp cow and making me fall in love with her all over again. I scream in joy, I cry in happiness, I cheer when she is crowned.

*looks at Giant Knack*

This motherfucker would be so floofy if you turn him into a more "organic" beast. You can't tell me otherwise cause all his red relics are mimicking hair/fur. Knack even curls himself into a ball like a hedgehog.

If I have to match his body type for a less blocky form, a mix between Saiyuki Journey West Sun Wukong in build and Digimon's Lamortmon in fluff. What do you guys think?

Edit: Since I'm more awake, Knack would have raccoon paws. His hands just remind me of the trash pandas I feed at night. Two, my sleepy brain last night came up with organic when I really meant filled out.

Like Legos actually clicked together than broken and floating. I think the best match would be the trolls from Trollhunters, specifically AAARRRGGHH since he's the closest both in body type alongside fur. Guess Knack is the troll to his goblins if I compare the two series, lol.

Now I imagine his runes glowing like in the Trollhunters' show too based on his emotions.

entering a new fandom after directly engaging with the source material always invokes a feeling of "i know them better than you" about the characters. he would not fucking say that but dialed up to eleven.

Submission and notifications test

Hello all, this is DiscoKnack sending a submission from my main account to a group sideblog (of which I am currently the only admin/member). To note: you can only send submissions with your main, but you can receive them on sides and main. That's how tumblr do.

The goal here is to see how notifications from replies and reblogs are delivered to involved parties, as well as how they can be moderated.

The ultimate goal is to find a vehicle that shy persons can use to share fan stuff without backlash [D:)

Also feel free to tell me if something I do makes you uncomfortable.

Visualized the meme my girlfriend and I repeat back and forth to each other every time we play or even bring up Knack for the PS4 in conversation.

What is it like to lack a sense of agency?

What is it like to have it?

What’s this I hear about a troll hunter au

Sorry for the very very late answer as there was no notification but I have a few Trollhunter related AUs. Heartstone Healer which involves Jim being a golem similar to the character Knack, Uncle Leon where Resident Evil Leon is Toby's uncle, To Become Maddening where Jim gets trapped in the Madness Combat universe as a child then returning three years later as an experienced killer, and Dance of Destiny where Jim astroprojects into the Monster Hunter world and become a hunter with tribal style magic.

How do I become a beta reader.

Barry, Craig and Brains as a trio would literally be just like Kirk, Spock and Bones. like. that is them. that is literally them. no i am not elaborating further

Mothpool my loves<3333

I am so tired so I’m just gonna post and pass out lol but I wanted to draw them. Also changed my Leafpool design to be more Leafpool, her other eye is the same green but with blue while her left is green with orange. Cuddle cats <<3333333

(ID- Leafpool is laying down with her back against a tree, her tail curled up, and her paws around Mothwing who is cuddled into her. Leafpool is a light brown with orange markings on her cheek, nose, tail, paws, and side. Cream is on her belly, muzzle, ear tufts, tail tip, and toe tips. A darker color stripes around her pelt with a few black markings on her hair, tail tip, and back leg. She is looking down at Mothwing with a sweet amber and green eye, a small smile on her face. Mothwing is curled up on Leaf with her front leg over Leaf’s side, her other wrapped under, his tail swooping up, and his back leg curled up. She is mostly pale yellow with peach on her face, ears, and back legs. And brown is on her hair, mane, tail, back, and paws with a darker brown striped down her tail on her paws, on her back legs, on her muzzle, and on her hair tuft. Light cream is on her belly, chin, paws, and tail tip. He is sleeping with a soft expression. Grass is under them with purple flowers dotting the grass, a tree on the left, and purple shading across them with light pink highlights. End ID)
