#lowest detail effort ever
Photo
the idea of attempting to blend Glimmer with some of the design elements in Star Twinkle PreCure has been in my head for a hot minute so here's an attempt! (yes i know her transformation pen wand thing is literally just making the scepter into a microphone bc i thought it would be cute!)

ok so like. between Sentido and In the Next Life, the kudos discrepancy is obvious (it being a tristamp vs trimax fic)
but honestly, the engagement with In the Next Life is honestly rly encouraging. a 10.8% comments to kudos percentage for Sentido vs 30.8% for ITNL
it was a lil discouraging at first how few kudos it got bc i just got off the high of super fast growing Sentido. but like, when you think about it it makes a lot of sense. the general tristamp fic with a simple setup & effective character exploration using a structure i havent seen otherwise.
vs heavy heavy HEAVY trimax spoilers fic. like this fic is made For Me to cope with reading trimax. but for ppl who dont read as fast as me or havent started it after watching tristamp. if they care about spoilers, this is not what theyre gonna be reading
so it makes sense! and im no longer disappointed, especially considering how sweet all my commenters have been.
im just gonna keep goin at it. im writing this for Me, and either it'll get more attention or it wont. it's enough for the people who are here now to continue this journey with me.
#speculation nation#itnl shit#honestly Sentido is the lowest effort 573 kudos i have ever gotten#like ok i gotta stop discounting it. it genuinely is a good piece of writing. i just know it couldve been better sldkjflskdjf#its point was to be an experimental little thing for me to get a feel for writing these characters#it was only ever meant to be a stepping stone. but ppl really liked it!#and. ngl. im kinda thinking i'll use the bits of relationship building i put into it to supplement itnl previous vashwood#im planning on making a reference in chapter 7 to wolfwood calling vash a chicken-head. or w/e.#just like in Sentido where he says vash's hair looks like a chicken's ass lsdkjflsdkjf#that kind of thing. why SHOULDN'T i use internal consistency between my fics???#im the one who came up with these details in the first place im allowed to reuse them for my other fic.#bc yea that wolfwood is dead but he lives on in vash's heart forever. that relationship is still incredibly important to the narrative.#so like ive got two different vashwoods going on in this fic lksjdfldkj and the 2nd & main one is what we will see build#but the prior one did exist. and it's mostly based on canon. but. But. vash is so completely in love with him#and it's added to by all those little things we wouldnt have seen. like. chicken-ass hair. Yeah.#uhm. this post went in several different directions.#ultimately im inevitably comparing my two trigun fics together. but It's Okay. bc i love them both.#trigun spoilers/

A Most Unusual Unit
Good morning, or rather, good evening, "Nightshade". Excellent work on your last assignment. Thanks your efforts, the councilman has lived to see another day, much to the great benefit of Vale. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I have another assignment for you already. Your new target is the leader of the Spiders organization, "Little Miss" Charlotte Malachite. She is a grave threat to peace between Vale and Mistral. Your mission is to get close to her and gain any information that may be related to seditious activities.
In order to do this, you will have to marry and have a child.
Blake: (Spits out her coffee, Coughs) EXCUSE ME?!
Little Miss is a reclusive woman and is notably suspicious of others. At this point, she operates almost entirely behind the scenes. Her only public appearances of late have been her attendance at the elite private school her daughters attend. These events act as informal get-togethers for the upper crust of society and the lowest of low in the criminal underworld. You are to enroll your child at this school and gain entry to these events. However, admission deadlines are approaching fast. YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE WEEK.
Blake: (Rips encoded-cypher paper in half) THEY EXPECT ME TO HAVE A CHILD IN SEVEN DAYS?! (People stare at her, Ahem!) Excuse me...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blake: Listen up, little girl.
Penny: I'm Penny!
Blake: Listen up, Penny. From now on, you are my child. As far as everyone knows, however, you have always been my child. Understood?
Penny: Understood!
Blake: You will address me as "Mother," as the elites do.
Penny: Mama!
Blake: Very well.
Old Woman: What an adorable girl~.
Blake: Thank you. We're the Belladinas. We just moved in.
Penny: I'm Penny, and I have always been Mama's child!
Old Woman: Huh?
Blake: (Thinking) You don't need to say that!.
Penny: Mama, I want a silenced pistol~!
Blake: If we see one on sale.
Old Woman: What a strange family...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaune: (Answers phone) Hello, Arc residence.
Jaune: Oh, Saph!
Saphron: (Via phone) How are you doing, baby bro?.
Jaune: Good. Everything's good. I'm still hard at work in Vale!
Saphron: Still as weird as ever. Don't make me worry about you.
Jaune: You don't have to sound so mean about it! And I am not weird!
Saphron: Jaune, when are you going to get married? You find a good lady friend yet?
Jaune: (Thinking) Not this again...
Saphron: Listen, I might be offered a big promotion here soon, but that'd mean I'd be too busy to look after you. I'm not gonna say no right off the bat, but it doesn't feel right for me to abandon you in the big city. Like I always tell ya, I'm forever grateful for you taking care of me all this time, and that's why I want to make sure you're happy.
Jaune: I know, Saph. Thank you.
Saphron: I think I know some cuties out here in Argus. Maybe I could put in a good word for you?
Jaune: Ah! N-No! You don't need to do that! A-Actually, I'm heading to a party this weekend... and I'll be bringing someone!
Saphron: A girl?!
Jaune: Uh, y-yeah, I guess that's one way to describe her. So don't worry about me, okay?
Saphron: Alright. So, who's throwing this party? One of your co-workers?
Jaune: Mm-hm!
Saphron: Great! I'll have Pyrrha give me the full details on this girlfriend of yours!
Jaune: Eh?
Saphron: No offense, Jaune, but you can be pretty naive. I just want to make sure the girl you're digging isn't just digging into you, right?
Jaune: Uh, well-
Saphron: And I'm gonna hold off on this promotion until I know you're happy!
Jaune: Y-You don't need to-
Saphron: Can't wait to hear all about her, baby bro! Ciao~! (Click)
Jaune: (Hangs up, Pacing) What do I do?!. What do I do?!. I need to find a girlfriend now!. If Saph finds out I lied, she'll think there's something wrong with me!. Then she'll never get that promotion, and Terra'll be mad at me!. Adrian will never play with me again!.
Jaune: (Phone rings, Answers) Saph, listen! About what I said earlier, I was just joking! I-
Boss: (Via phone) Having family trouble?. That's unusual for you.
Jaune: Oh! Headmistress! I'm so sorry, I was-
Boss: Good evening. I have a client for you, Rusted Knight.
Jaune: (Eyes dim)
Boss: The Glass Unicorn. Room 1220.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaune: Excuse me.
Proprietor: Oh, hello again, Jaune! How can I help you?
Jaune: I'm going to a party tonight, so I need my slacks patched up ASAP. Er, if that's okay, of course.
Blake: (Flinches, Thinking) How did he get by without me noticing?!. Jaune... Hm... Right. Jaune Arc, 26 years old, never married, and never divorced. Parents deceased. Seven sisters, six dexeased, one surviving, couple years older. They're both ordinary civilians with nothing on their files. Maybe I'm getting sloppy-
Jaune: Um, miss? You've been staring at me since I came in here. Is there something I can help you with?
Blake: He sensed me watching him?!. How?!.
Blake: Oh, uh, no. I just thought... you were really cute. Excuse me for being rude.
Jaune: Wait, so... I'm good looking to you?
Blake: Um, yes?
Jaune: Miss-
Penny: Mama! I got measured! Huh? Who's she?
Blake: He's another customer, like us.
Jaune: (Thinking) I almost asked another man's wife on a date! I've heard stories of men being murdered for things like that. BUT THIS TIME, I'D BE THE ONE TO DO THE KILLING.
Penny: !
Jaune: No! I can't even fantasize about a thing so horrible! It's thoughts like those that'll expose me as an ASSASSIN.
Penny: (Thinking) A- A- A- A- ASSASSIN?!.
Blake: (Spy)
Jaune: (Assassin)
Penny: (Telepath, Starved for entertainment) SOOO COOOOL!.
Blake: I thought he'd make for a good fit for the husband role, but his intuition could threaten my mission.
Jaune: I thought she'd be able to pull off the girlfriend role, but I can't afford any kind of unnecessary bloodshed.
Penny: (Looks down, Covering her face) Oh, boo hoo hoo! I am so sad about Papa!
Blake: P-Penny?! What are you-?!
Penny: I just miss my papa so very, very, very much! If only he could see me in my pretty dress!
Jaune: Oh, is your husband away?
Blake: Ah... You see... My husband actually passed a few years ago. I've been working hard to support my daughter as a single mother.
Jaune: Then... Then no one could try to kill me if I asked her!.
Jaune: Um, excuse me...

I’d love to see some kureha headcanons from you!! (And maybe even some that involve Jack??) I’ve been really enjoying seeing ur headcanons in my feed!
I don't really know if you meant this as in a ship/friendship way, but I just decided to go overboard and put effort in to explore their weird ass (gay) dynamic lmao
Kureha HCs:
Kureha speed-reads. It's a habit he developed in elementary school so he could spend more time protecting his brother, and it was a fantastic help during his studies to become a doctor.
This man has a flawless memory. You mentioned something to him three years ago about something you liked but it was out of stock? Guess what, he bought it at it's lowest price point and is now giving it to you on your birthday. Surprise!
His handwriting is the WORST for non-professional things. You got a prescription from him? Yeah, you can read that just fine! Patient charts? The most flawless writing you have ever seen. He left you a note on your computer? You think that says coffee, but it could also say chicken, so now you're confused.
Claims to be against workplace gossip and against participating until he gets home, because then he's telling you all about how Ayumi from the front desk is fucking the neurologist and his wife just hired a PI, but apparently she's been messing around with the janitor at her job.
He has favourite patients. Jack is simultaneously his favourite and least favourite patient, the man will just sit and let him do whatever he wants as long as it's in the name of improvement, but he's TERRIBLE at recovery. Kureha says "bedrest for three weeks with mild exercise", and Jack hears "Don't push yourself until the point of passing out for three days".
Speaking of patients, he absolutely takes meticulous notes. Is the patient being difficult and rude? Oh it's going on their chart in meticulous detail. They called him a name and refused to take their meds? It's on the chart in the most professional but still passive-aggressive way.
Jack HCs:
Uncannily good at math. If you ask him, offhandedly and as casually as possible for an answer to a math question, he'll almost instantly get you an answer, and most of the time it's either spot on or really close. Baki has tried to get Jack to answer the questions for his math homework before, and it took a while before Jack realised what was up.
He learned about Baki a while before he actually met him, but he still hasn't processed that he's an older brother, so occasionally Baki will call him brother super casually and Jack will just [dialup noises] for a solid minute until he remembers "oh right yeah, that's actually my little brother."
Forever tired and hungry, but determined enough to get away with a chronic lack of sleep for months on end until he finally crashes. Healthy? No. He knows it too, but he's got things to do, and sleep can wait until he's kicked his father's ass. If he keeps being such a strong favourite too, a nice comfortable mattress is in store for him.
He knows he can beat bears in a fight (as with most wild animals that he grew up knowing) but the problem is that he doesn't like bears, he grew up knowing that you don't mess with bears, because they'll ruin your day. He'll deal with them no problem, but he won't like it.
He doesn't wake up very fast at all, most of the time he just gains conscience like two hours after waking up and he's doing something. He's "woken" up before after having an hour long conversation with Tokugawa about his hometown after Father Samuel called him.
He sometimes (when he's very tired or just waking up) will forget just how big he is. He has slammed his head against doorframes many times. He will continue to do so most likely.
Jack and Kureha HCs:
Jack and Kureha as friends are two weird mfs. For starters, Jack is quiet and stoic, so most people that see him assume that he's either some sort of bodyguard for Kureha, or that he's annoyed by him. In reality, Jack's just a quiet person, and Kureha takes every chance to talk his ears off because he won't interrupt unless it's important.
Sometimes it's painfully aware just how much more experienced and educated Kureha is in everyday matters. Jack didn't even go to high school, and Kureha managed to become a practicing doctor. Jack isn't stupid by any means, but sometimes Kureha absolutely loses him because he's talking about something Jack hasn't ever learned about before.
While Kureha can go off about medical jargon to Jack and lose him after just about five minutes, Jack can just start talking about the, quite frankly weird shit that happens out in the Canadian wilderness near his home, and Kureha just doesn't have any idea how to process the fact that at least some of what Jack tells him is true and has happened within Jack's direct line of sight.
Jack and Kureha dating, however, is very different. They're such bitches to each-other because they're so in love that they're at the "I fucking hate you" stage of their relationship, but only when they're out in public. It's a lot of Jack cleaning up the absolute mess that is Kureha's apartment, and Kureha making a mess out of the apartment the second Jack steps out.
Kureha absolutely tries to pull a whole dominant/submissive thing, with Jack being submissive, but mans was legitimately too chill to really care and it ruined the whole thing for Kureha, who legitimately pouted for a whole week. Jack had no idea what he did wrong either, he thought that Kureha wanted to be dominant, so he submitted. He's not really one to fight for dominance, if he wants it he'll just take it.
Neither of them being able to cook for shit, other than Jack being uncannily good at breakfast foods, so they either eat pancakes at 6pm or they go out to eat. It means less dishes (usually) so Jack doesn't complain, since Kureha could never do those.
A lot of Kureha saying that Kosho is being annoying and Jack being like "That's nice, Baki's chill, an angel really. Anyways, do your parents want me to come over?" Just so he can flex on Kureha that his little brother is the better one.

I usually wanna say 'Go for whichever you think Cloche might get along with most' or for hilarity's sake: whichever one Cloche might have the lowest opinion of >:3c
[Ask Game]
Cloche’ thoughts on…
Aadesh
“Mr. Sona? I suppose he is one of the …nicer faculty members.”
• Cloche initially thought Aadesh to be a trusted figure, like the other staffs, until she started to really pay attention to what details other students disclose to him, curtesy of “Binding Bells”. He’s probably the reason Cloche would be more suspicious than ever, not just around him but around other students too. Overlooking that, Cloche finds it somehow relieving that Aadesh isn’t as genuine as he makes himself out to be. She finds it easier to talk to him, not having to put up niceties and getting straight to the point. Cloche would not hide her emotional apathy from Aadesh.
*All faculty members are aware of Cloche’ curse and have been notified by Crowley. The faculty follows special protocols, like ordering her to call them Professor/Mr instead, or watching out for students that may order Cloche follow orders that violate the rules, commanding Cloche to stop if she is given a problematic order.
• If Cloche ever finds out about Aadesh’ true motives for going into NRC, would she care? No… not really. She is aware it’s considered morally bad, but until the consequences of Aadesh’ “exploits” start affecting her personally; she can’t judge him. A part of me can see Cloche striking a deal with Aadesh (or vice versa), to let him hear about the events going on with other students, live— tempting, isn’t it?
• While Cloche is wary of Aadesh and makes the effort to filter out her personal biases around him, feral!Cloche loses that rationality. Like a clueless critter, feral!Cloche takes Aadesh’ politeness at face value, and thinks he’s the best person to “vent” to.
• Another life-sized cat toy. That’s right—! Aadesh’ snake tail/scarf is especially distracting for Cloche— or at least feral!Cloche. It also doesn’t help that Aadesh sticks out like a sore thumb, surrounded by a sea of black blazers. Plus… the shine from the top of his head…
“Mr. Sona, the private intel of my other masters is something I can’t just disclose— even if you ordered me to. I don’t see how this would benefit me in any way.”
#ty for the ask !!#oof- I just think it’d be neat if they had a secret alliance or smth—#I decided to kill to birds with one stone— cause cloche would get along with aadesh yet have less than positive opinions of him#aadesh sona#ask 🎊#oc: cloche🎊#mutuals 🎊#oc ask meme#others ocs#ask meme#ask game#oc interactions#twst oc#twst ocs#twst#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland oc#cat scribblez 🌸

You know a lot about cars so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask: How hard would it be for me to make up brand new cars and 3D model them? The stuff shown here looks fun, and I want to give it a go sometime.
(p.s as compensation for submitting an ask not focused on a thing about a car: the interiors of the Italdesign Orca and Mazda MX-81 Aria are silly looking things that everybody should get to see.)
(p.p.s i don't understand cars or 3D modeling but i believe it'll all work out fine)
If you want encouragement: every single 3D car shape you've ever seen, from videogames to renders to cars on the street, was either drawn with 3D modelling or with something even harder - and none of those people have a significant genetic leg up on you. You're too short to play basketball, you're too fragile to boxe, you're too heavy for marathons, but you're not too anything for 3D modelling. The only thing it takes is effort.
If you want a warning: effort it does take. 3D modelling is deceptively complex - you think you can model a radio no problem and an hour later your work amounts to a volume knob and you realize you're gonna be here a while.
I've studied it for a semester and would be pretty lost if I had to draw curves as complex as a car's, although had I had your interest I would've likely dug deeper on some specific aspects on my own (and actually retained all the lessons on complex curves :/)
But yeah, holy hell are cars complex. Nowadays especially, but in general - the lights, the vents, the seals, the panel gaps, all things that are incredibly minute yet essential details that can make or break a design, even at the lowest detail (because of course modelling difficulty varies wildly with the detail level you're targeting).
Modelling a car from scratch, I'll be astounded if it takes you less than a year.
But by the end of that, any car you model will no longer be from scratch, as you'll already have built the knowledge base!
If you want advice: take your time to learn the tools before you try and tackle any big project.
For one because naming your first 3D model "car" and messing around until you have a car is like taking your new bicycle to the bottom of an alpine pass and messing around until you're at its top: you'll be there for as long as it takes you to give up, accomplish nothing and leave feeling useless.
For two because starting a project without all the knowledge base it needs will just mean its quality will suffer from the start to the points of the project where you pick that knowledge up.
For three because starting a project knowing what to do and how to do it speeds up the process massively and provides a massive boost in confidence and motivation because you know what is ahead and how to tackle it - there's nothing more demoralizing than closing up the day with no idea of how to progress from there.
For four, because you need to make sure you like the tools. Modelling a car in abstract is "making a car" or "expressing your vision" or whatever poetic way you put it, but in practice it's using a piece of software for a troubling number of hours. If using that software is a chore to you you're never going to push through the learning curve involved in modelling a car, and that's for the best as modelling a car would be a miserable time.
If you want guidance: here's a Volvo wagon. Their boxiness is nigh on legendary, in the car community the "brick" nickname is nigh on a synonym for Volvo. And this is the 960, the boxiest Volvo that ever boxed.
Look at all the curves.
The rear windshield curves forwards and the side windows curve inwards, making the angle between them curve diagonally (how pronounced are those curves? Are they constant?), the entire side of the car has a gentle curve to it, and the fenders flare outwards with a smooth blend between their slope and the body's (what do you suppose the radius of that blend is?) - to say nothing of the hood, the rims, and my God, that mirror is a positive sculpture!
And also, the end of the rear door is tilted forward - why do you suppose that is? Well, it's clearer in the much older 240...
...you can clearly see the rear door's window frame is following the lower, downward-sloping roofline of a sedan, indicating the sedan's doors are being reused for the wagon.
But now that you looked at the Volvo before, you can see the shape is more bare, more simple -free of the indentation that circled the 960's body, for instance- but much more soft and rounded, with the taillights curving inwards (how much?), the rear windshield having rounded corners (and perchance a rounded top to match a curved roof?), hell, the curve of the rear angle kicks outwards at the bottom to meet an inwards slope that goes from headlight to taillight!
This is how you have to come to see cars - by which I don't just mean noticing these details, but this analytical look being how your eye approaches a car shape. Because you can't learn to write without the ability and interest to read, if you catch my drift.
Once you've got a grasp of the tools involved, a nice idea could be to get a 3D model of a car (I recommend starting with a very boxy one and potentially working your way up), deleting a part (like a fender, or a door) and trying to recreate it yourself by eye - see what challenges you encounter, what you struggle with creating, how the result looks compared to the original, and such.
Also, a thing I would advise is to look into cutaways and diagrams and such, just like you learn anatomy when drawing humans because if you don't you'll end up with something that looks awkward and unrealistic and you will not know why. For example, these two designs seem starkly different, don't they?
And yet, if you overlap them...
...the driver seat is at exactly the same place. Why? Because that's just as far forward as you can seat a person before the crumple zone either is insufficient to absorb the force of a high speed impact or begins including their legs.
This is just one of plenty aspects but I've gone on long enough already.
If you want a challenge: set a reminder for next year to come back here and show me your progress. Even if it's not anything close to a car yet, if -as you should- you set some intermediate goals that stimulate and excite you, you can still be back in this askbox with something to be proud of and I'll go wooo!!! I remember you!!! It's so cool you stuck to it and have now made this thing!!! That's great! and you'll feel SO good about yourself. Deal?
Oh about the concepts,
The MX-81's steering wheel... sidewall? always made me uneasy, it looks like it's coming off (and like some airport surface that has been touched by too much gross stuff) but I do dig the CRT right in front of you! The one that's going in my car is black and white and a lot smaller than that, so a tinge of envy is there.
Also, if you like the Orca's steering wheel, you may well enjoy the '88 Grand Prix and Citroën C4/C4 Picasso's! Ride, Pontiac Ride! Or transform and dance, that's cool too!

Fathers
Lorellai looked at the crumpled, still form of Scalecommander Sarkareth, lying on the floor of the lowest level of Aberrus. The fight had been brutal, shadowy magics assaulting her mind even as the mad Dracthyr had tried to burn her flesh. But together, they had prevailed. His final words though, calling out to his father for guidance, left her shaken. In the wake, she'd reached out to Fatalion, who had served under Sarkareth long ago, hoping to give comfort.
"You're a good person, Lorellai. Don't stop being a good person." the Dracthyr had declared, before leaving to work through her own issues. Head swirling with questions, Lorellai activated her hearthstone.
Back in Valdrakken, she wrote her report, sliding it in an envelope to be delivered to the expedition on the morrow. It was filled with all the details she could remember, but her feelings remained in chaos. Exhaling, she went to the closet she'd filled with gizmos, and assembled her long range radio.
"This is Tinker, calling Sapper. Come in, Sapper." she intoned, twisting the dials to find the right frequency. It didn't take long for a reponse to come through.
"This is Sapper, och, it's good t' hear yer voice lass! How are yeh gettin' along out there?" her father asked, his voice loud and clear over the radio waves. Lorellai felt a rush of relief flow over her.
"It's been quite the time, Sapper. Do yeh 'ave time t' talk?" she asked, her accent already starting to reassert herself in the face of his thick brogue. Upon his assent, she began to tell him everything she'd faced in Aberrus. Helping Sabellian and Wrathion face the shade of their father, overcoming his efforts to exploit their weaknesses. How chasing the same father's approval had led Sarkareth to cause so much trouble and suffering. How she wasn't sure if killing him had been the right thing to do. When she finished, she heard the scooting of a chair over the radio.
"Och, Tinker meh girl, yeh've certainly cut yer teeth and then some. I'm so proud of yeh, facing such darkness and coming out th' other side."
"I know that, da- Sapper, I know, but I'm still not sure if we did the right thing?" she replied, her voice pleading.
"Oh my dear. It is ever th' way when heroes do what they do. Yer enemies will rarely be someone totally unworthy of sympathy. Each will have their own reasons for taking the dark paths they did, for making the harmful choices they made. But at th' end of th' day, no matter how bad he was hurting, this Sarkareth fella ignored yer efforts to help, and just kept hurting people. Men like that, yeh have to accept that they make their choice, and that yeh cannae let them continue. You saved lives today, Tinker. He cannae hurt anyone else, and those who survived him can start t' heal. That's what matters. Save lives. Stop bullies. Spare who you can, put down who you can't. If yeh stumble, get up and keep going. I know you'll do the right thing, lass. Th' fact that yer askin' this question is proof to me that you still care. I'm proud of yeh, Tinker. We all are."
Lorellai tried her best to suppress her sniff as she wiped away tears. "Thanks Sapper. It means a lot t' hear tha'. I love yeh."
"I love yeh too lass... och, yer brother's hollarin' from th' house, I'd better go. Give meh love to th' team! I love yeh lass! Sapper, out!"
The radio signal went silent, and Lorellai spent a few moments listening to the gentle static before powering down the unit. She kept her hand on it as Stroganoff gently leaned into her, and she leaned back. "Broke out of the stables again, boy?" she giggled, resting her head on the hornswog. He rumbled happily in response, and Lorellai decided maybe tonight he could sleep in her room.

I understand why many people are unhappy that Mudrock is of decidedly average height, and I have some sympathy with the cause, but I think it means that the implications of the fact she is padding out her battlesuit with Arts are overlooked.
There are some small details like the hydraulic systems around her armour’s legs to let them better act as an extension of herself, but the big thing I want to talk about is her hammer. It’s a weapon that’s appropriate for Mudrock the armoured giant, which means it really is big. While suited up, she swings it with control and confidence, and it barely ever risks touching the ground.
In her two skins she uses the same type of hammer to fight, but of course she’s no longer benefitting from the bigger body her armour provides. This not only shows us the height difference between Mudboulder and Mudpebble, it also shows the way she adapts her style of fighting.
In her default armour, she’s the confident veteran you’d expect. She makes large overhead swings with her hammer in normal attacks, slightly lifting her foot with each strike to give additional height to the blow. Her S3 outward-and-upward strikes are powerful but controlled, barely skimming up some rubble at the lowest point of the swing.
In her older swimsuit skin, it feels like she’s still getting used to fighting at her natural height. Her normal swings are a little more understated, but the obvious change is in her S3. Since she’s shorter, she’s resorted to jumping during each swing to get the same height and clearance she had before. Yes it’s pretty cute, but put that aside and this is someone going all-out to pull off attacks with an oversized blunt weapon, and succeeding.
Then there’s her new concert dress, and this one I really like. Rather than crouching with her hammer held low like with the swimsuit, she actually lets the head of the hammer rest upon the ground while idle (it seems she noticed the ground wasn’t that far away any more). In exchange, her normal attacks are more energetic, and she allows the hammer to smash back down onto the ground, since that’s already part of her new stance.
It’s the S3 that really sells to me that this is a Mudrock who has properly figured out an adapted fighting style, though. She flips the weapon into her ready stance with strength and confidence, and when she starts swinging the arcs are more horizontal than before, meaning she doesn’t have to worry about hitting the ground. Instead of jumping, she gets extra length into the swings by sliding her leg forward as she attacks.
Rather than using the same moves with compensation to make up for her physique, she’s adapted them into something that works directly for someone her size.
(There’s not usually much to read in to the S2 animations, but I do want to highlight that this time they actually animated the footwork that goes into the swing, which helps to sell the effort behind it.)
For a bonus fact: in the art for this skin she’s holding a red drink with an amber drink behind her, but her base animation shows she finds the red one disgusting, so this is a photo taken moments before disaster.
I also like google translate’s quote for the concert dress, where she’s providing backstage checks: “Seeing the hammer she carries with her, most hotheaded troublemakers will back away“. She takes that thing on patrol.
And of course, the fact she’s able to use the hammer at all, let alone so well, outside of her armour mecha is a testament to her strength and skill. So, sure, Mudrock might not be 3 metres tall and built like a brick shithouse, but won’t you still love her for her seasoned techniques and her devastating greathammer strikes?

I have *so* many SVSSS ideas and so im gonna drop random snippets from all of them!
--
And it was with those practice sheets strewn across his table that he reluctantly welcomed his Zhangmen-shixiong into his bamboo house. The man had had his familiar kicked dog eyes in full force when he'd gone to check who was knocking at his door, and he had been weak to it.
He hadn't shown it, of course. No, he'd looked the sect leader up and down with a critical eye before snapping his fan open. Covering the bottom half of his face to hide the put upon downturn of his lips, before he'd welcomed the man in, instructing him to sit down whilst he made tea. A more minor but no less helpful boon of the muscle memory of the original Shen Qingqiu was how to prepare tea the ancient Chinese way. Taking his time searching through the sachets he landed on a particularly sweet tea that had the unusual properties of becoming unnaturally sour when exposed to turbulent atmospheric qi. Shen Qingqiu suspected the original had used it to help detect when he was entering into a qi deviation.
--
It was a testament to how well the sect leader hid his clingy muddle-mouthed side that people had thought Shen Qingqiu was acting irrational. Or spoilt for that matter. It was more like Shen Qingqiu was being bought with all these wonderfully expensive trinkets to either keep quiet about how much of a fool the sect leader was behind closed doors or about whatever had made the sect leader so foolish in the first place. Whatever it was must have been earth shattering for him to keep it up after the peak lord had lost most of his memories - maybe he feared that would be one thing Shen Qingqiu wouldn't forget, vindictive as his memories had seemed to make him. Or perhaps that had been one thing his shixiong had remembered, they were the only two in the room when the Qing Jing peak lord had arisen after his qi deviation after all.
--
The lack of overcoat left his Shizun in a modest ten layers, the lowest amount he'd ever heard her to be in; eleven was her lounging number. It felt obscene looking at her with barely double digit layers on. The fact there were boys here who could possibly see her in such a state of undress was disgusting, averting their gazes wasn't enough, Shen Qingqiu wanted their eyes removed from their skulls.
“Shameless!” He snarled whirling on unsteady feet to stand between his master and the Qian Cao disciples (He had seen that Yue Qingyuan had buried his head in his knees like a viper-headed ostrich in the dirt before the robe had been fully off of the first shoulder), “Turn your heads before I make you!”
--
How did he know that wasn't the case? Because he had a letter inviting him to Qing Jing peak for what was essentially a xianxia engagement party. HIS BRO WAS GETTING MARRIED AND HIS ENGAGEMENT PARTY WAS HOW HE'D FOUND OUT HIS BRO HAD REALISED HE WASN'T STRAIGHT!? What bullshit was this!? Cucumber-dada how was this fair! To always complain that Shang Qinghua had left too many small details out of Proud Immortal Demon Way only to turn around and not share his sexuality revelations and relationship status with his fellow transmigrator!? Well... At least Shang Qinghua got a letter, from the look of utter devastation on Yue QIngyuan's face the sect leader hadn't even gotten that. So... Maybe turning around and demanding a meeting with the sect leader to interrogate him, as to why everyone had kept Shen Qingqiu's courtship a secret from him until he'd be putting An Ding through the ringer because of a double peak lord wedding hadn't been the best idea. However, cucumber-bro had actually been making a good effort at being friends with their sect leader - so how was he supposed to know it wasn't just him out of the know? Qinghua was used to being ignored and not told things (in both lives), and though his cucumber-bro had done his best to always be honest with him; the fact his bro sometimes couldn't tell a boner from a knobbly knee hadn't inspired much confidence in being let in on his self discovery.
--
Feel free to ask me about any of them!!
(aka pls pls pls ask me abt them!!)

Hello everyone!
I'm sorry to be so so inactive this past whole year and occassionally popping in whenever. I didn't really want to share this earlier but I'm in a better headspace now and you all deserve an explanation for my unexplained absences.
(Rant below the cut)
I've been dealing with a toxic friendship for a while now. She had been my best friend since first year of uni but ever since the third year, there had been subtle changes that I didn't really pay much attention to. We had a major disagreement that time but it was resolved (I later came to know some things she said that weren't true).
I thought everything was fine but she suddenly stopped speaking to me a few months back for like three or so weeks. By that time, a lot of small things had happened and my mental health was the lowest it could have been. I was always anxious, crying a lot, it was a whole thing. A lot of time I thought it was my fault, maybe I didn't do something right, maybe I'm over reacting. But a few good friends supported me and reminded me that I didn't deserve to be treated like someone who was expendable and that I should do what was right.
So I broke stuff off with her but she blamed it all on me not asking about her, not making an effort and all that narrative. By that time, I had recently lost my grandfather and she had not asked about how I was doing even once after I told her (if we were going by that point). So it really cemented my decision to end things and that it would be for the best.
I was doing quite well until a few days ago when she sent a slew of very horrible texts blaming me for a lot of stuff and that I'm spreading rumours about our 'disagreement', and blocked me. It did upset me a bit initially but I kind of expected it from her so it doesn't really hurt anymore.
But I'm glad that part of my life is finally over and I don't have to stay on my toes all the time wondering if I'm doing something wrong or anything like that. I found a really kind group of friends that I actually enjoy being around and that include me in a lot of things and not just as a last resort.
Anyways, this got really long and detailed but I just wanted to put it out there and if it helps someone break off from a toxic friendship or relationship by being the right push, it'll be all the more amazing.
Will come up here some more, even if it's just to reblog and like stuff. It will definitely take a while to get back into my groove but thank you for listening to me and being here.
Have a lovely weekend all! 🌼

Good evening! I've been pondering over a question about AiP since before my first ask, and have finally decided to ask! Throughout the story, the topic of "was it all worth it" seems to be a big question that Ayin continues to evade with "I don't know." (Classic Ayin) for a more straightforward question: If there was no other way to release the light, would Ayin still do LobCorp today, even if it meant hurting Angela? Also, what would Carmen's EGO be if she had one?
Dear hncdhnmfr,
Very, very interesting question. I suppose I could tell you to wait and see in AiP, but that simply won't do now. I'd be committing the same mistakes Ayin commits on a daily basis, heheh.
Well, put simply, the answer is: Yes.
But to see the circumstances of that yes, we need to delve a bit deeper into how it'll work. You see, Ayin was always a practical man, and he was less emotionally attached than most. If he were to choose between the lives of many and the lives of few, the needs of many would trump the needs of the few, and even with everything he learnt and went through, he would still consider that saving everyone else would be a worthwhile effort to sacrifice so much for.
Of course, this begs the question: What are the needs of the many? In my humble opinion, it's Carmen's message to the City, or at least the pre-corrupted version of it. For example, he wouldn't ever make Angela and the Librarians go through the pain they had to endure solely for saving Carmen, but if it meant releasing a pure version of the Light that had no side effects like the Distortion, then he would carefully consider the situation and see if there are no other options before searching for all the ways he can make such a plan less harmful to its participants.
But there's one very important aspect of that question: How he goes about implementing his plans. An important part of why Ayin's crimes are so striking isn't the plan itself. It's that the participants are, for the most part, unwilling or unaware. Sure, there's a case to be made about them becoming aware after recovering their memories post-Meltdown, but he still forced them all into the Script and its horrors, with Angela specifically suffering from the biggest burden amongst her peers with no love, encouragement, thanks, or even recognition. That's part of why Angela languished and suffered for so long; she gained not one shred of goodwill throughout her suffering in the Corporation. Ayin's misdeeds went further than the Script itself; he was too traumatised himself to recall that no everyone else was as traumatised as him. This led to him creating the Script as both a plan and a punishment to himself, although he also punished Angela, the Sephirahs and the Agents with it, even if inadvertently.
Hence, post-AiP Ayin would go through with the Seed of Light if there was no other plan to release the Light if, and only if, Angela and the Librarians agree to such a plan after thoroughly discussing it with them. In addition, it's entirely possible that he decides to modify the Script to avoid needless suffering and would inform everyone of the plan's minute details beforehand to avoid another cycle where the Manager has to navigate blindly without any help from those around him.
There's, of course, a point to be made about whether or not it'd be possible to consider it the same plan as the Seed of Light seeing how it'd be devoid of the torment and suffering that made it so iconic, and how it'd doubtlessly be finished much, much quicker given the better conditions it'd be in...but I'll leave that question for you, to answer.
Still, it's worth it to say that to Ayin, knowing that the original Seed of Light could've been done with so much less suffering had he not devised that plan when he was quite literally at the lowest point he could've ever been at during his life, would consider that any plan similar to it would simply not be worth it given that he would be able to create something much kinder with the people he cares about around him this time.
But for the original Seed of Light...I'd say he could consider that it was...mixed. He cannot say it was wholly worth it because of the inane and senseless costs of it and the subsequent formation of the Library and the trauma sustained by Carmen which led to her becoming the Distortion, but he cannot denounce it wholly, either, given that it did work as a last-ditch plan he formulated when, as said, he devised it the very bottom of the neigh-bottomless pit that had been his life at that point.
If you really pressed it, he'd have to begrudgingly say: "It was worth it solely, and only solely, because I could not formulate or devise any other plans at that time to germinate the Seed of Light."
As for the question about Carmen's potential E.G.O., well, here's my reasoning: Carmen's roles were never offensive, mostly supportive. Her original plan was never to attack the City and force it to reform, it was to help it bloom a better future for it and its denizens. Carmen's plans always revolved around letting people dream again and giving the people equal grounds to fight for their dreams and aspirations, which she intended to accomplish through E.G.O.
If she had an E.G.O., I'd say it'd be mostly centred around supporting those around her by preserving other E.G.O. and making sure it does not undergo corrosion of any sort, healing surrounding allies, and perhaps disabling any non-E.G.O. related enhancements like the ones Fixers use in order to 'even' the playing field. And just like her Distorted self Distorts people and lets their emotions consume them, her E.G.O. could help the Cityfolk attain their E.G.O.s while controlling their emotions and allowing them to become more selfless instead of selfish, like she currently does in LoR/Limbus.
Again, I deeply apologise for the delay in the answer! I know you told me you don't mind long delays, but even so, this one was TOO long. As always, it was a delight to see your ask, hncdhnmfr, and until the next time, be well, take care, and see ya'!

"...Stygius, the Blade of the Underworld, must have been amongst the finest weapons ever wielded..." - Stygian Blade entry, Codex of the Underworld.
Unfortunately this one isn't so fine and needs a remake, but here's how it was made while I work on Stygius 2
(Full process under the cut)
[Skull pauldron] [Belt] [Greaves] [Toga + sash] [Wig + Laurels] [Armbands] [Flaming feet] [Satyr Sack] [Stygius v1] [Stygius v2] [Nectar]
Unfortunately Stygius was the victim of con time crunch, and I wasn't even sure I'd be able to make the rest of my outfit in time for the con so Stygius, as a prop, had the lowest priority. But hey for a sword done from scratch in a week, not too bad.
I guessed all the measurements (which ended up making Styg 1 a hand and a half sword instead of the one handed sword it should be) and made a pattern. From there I was able to cut out a base, attach a handle, and then cover it in EVA foam. I then proceeded to so a VERY wonky job on the blade bevels, and even took a few chunks out, which meant I had to use foam clay on some parts of the edges which ended up leaving an inconsistent finish once it was painted.
For the skull I used spare EVA foam for the base, built up the bulk with aluminum foil and hot glue, then used more foam clay to sculpt the features and create depth (and ideally for that thickness it should have had several more days to set). The leaves were just some cut and dremelled EVA foam, and the pommel base was, you guessed it, more EVA foam and foam clay.
The gem was made from epoxy resin, and poured into a mould I made out of cardboard, sticky tape and some plastic lining, and coloured with some watercolour pigment. Somehow that actually worked.
I primed the whole thing with plastidip, and next was Spray Paint Hell. I had to do it all in one day, and the masking tape I was using to protect the parts I'd already done started pulling off the actual paint and sometimes the plastidip when I tried to remove it. I don't have a lot of experience with spray paints so my coats also weren't to the standard I wanted, and there was overspray despite my best efforts.
The spray paints I used were cheap and it showed. So I decided that they would be a base coat, and that the whole thing should be hand painted over most of the sections in order to achieve the correct colours, and in the case of the skull, match the other bone accessories. My sister helped do a lot of the base coats while I was at work so I could focus on detail work when I got home, and even there I was still painting the night before.
To tie everything together I did a few coats of gloss spray the morning of the con. Unfortunately, it didn't quite dry so it stuck to the surface it was resting on when I did the other side, which caused most of the paint defects. However, it was finished in time for the con and luckily the worst of the marks were on the back.
The main issue to address with Stygius 2, besides not doing an absolute catastrophe of a paint job last minute, is to fix up the hilt. It's too long and thick, the pommel is too chunky and badly shaped, and the gem is the wrong colour. The skull could also use more sculpted depth and a bit more shading to make it really stand out.
#my cosplay#cosplay process#hades game#zagreus cosplay#cosplay prop#stygius#first time making a sword not too shabby but I am unfortunately a perfectionist#shout out to my sister for helping with both the painting of stygius and the wax seals on the bottles of nectar#also to my dad for the base of styg and allowing me to steal a bunch of his tools and miscellaneous shed stuff for my EVA foam accessories

Given how the original Season 4 pitch document detailed an episode exploring an alternate universe where Optimus became techno-organic and Elita-1 leads Team Prime, part of me wonders what BETC!Blitzwing’s dynamic would be like with a Techno-Organic!Optimus or a hypothetical Techo-Organic!Sentinel.
On one hand, all three of them would still share the whole “one-of-a-kind model changed against their will” and “lost the two ‘bots closest to them” aspects that Blitzwing would definitely sympathize with, but on the other hand, Optimus and Sentinel have different personalities than Elita and would most likely make different choices than her, with that most likely extending to their potential dynamic with Blitz.
It seems I've written a bit, so I'll just shove this ask under a readmore for ease of scrolling by-
Given what we do see of canon Optimus and Sentinel, even though shoving either of them into the 'become techno-organic' situation is hyperspecific, there's like a little snippet of how they might hypothetically act like. Something something, the way that Optimus to the modern day is afraid of spiders, yada yada how he's got both a hero complex and kind of self-sacrificing, TO!Optimus would probably be so horrified of his own body but would hide it under layers and layers of 'well, i got my friends out' and potentially even 'they wouldn't come rescue me if they knew what i became'. He might only become a Decepticon by obligation because surely being the leader of their little recruit team, Optimus would not be judged kindly for being even partially organic and that may have an impact on whether or not BETC!Blitz can even begin to get friendly with the ex-Autobot. Again this is a hypothetical I could be wrong about this, but TO!OP would be perhaps a smidge bit pitiful, a dash of mournful for what had been, and probably already either catastrophised or legitmised his abandonment/assumed death as 'being 100% necessary' for removing a faulty cog from the machine.
But looking at Sentinel's reaction to organic lifeforms, especially generalised to ANY organic lifeform, if he had found himself getting techno-organic he would probably be immensely self-loathing to the point of being as physically sick a bot can get... which might be a little bit more than a purely biomechanical cybertonian can ever be. Blackarachnia may self-loath, but she had the spurring of revenge to do something about it and perhaps as part of her Autobot studies as Elita-1 might've put more effort into the sciences to 'reverse the irreversible'. Sentinel doesn't much have that, all he had was the Autobot dream, the approval of the Autobot Elite and the Magnus himself, and indeed the very friends that failed to save him (those that failed to understand that Sentinel had indeed lived). I think in comparison to other bots TO!Sentinel would maybe be at the lowest scale of acceptance and would probably be generally just overwhelmed by anything and everything to do with his new body and perhaps the Decepticons he had to rely on, and BETC!Blitz may indeed relate to the foreign sensation (and the ensuing sickness and dyphoria associated) of a new significantly changed body, but perhaps it's the Autobot propaganda that seems to have really attached itself to Sentinel more so than either of his old, scarred memories of his fellows.
So I guess in summation, TO!Optimus would probably be just a little miserable but mask it under 'being a hero' for sacrificing a moldy cog to save significantly more well off Autobots, which Blitzwing may not much interact with until Optimus slips and the fear of himself is truly revealed, and TO!Sentinel would kinda be both an open book on how much trauma his body causes but also equally as loud as an Autobot propaganda holovid, which is generally hard for Blitzwing to approach at ALL because damn BETC!Blitz was an Autobot experiment and highly hates them for what they had done to the body and how it affected the body's mind. Elita-1 would've met in the middle of the to potentially, and Blackarachnia didn't speak much about who she was beyond a in quotes that don't exist until now 'genetic disaster', which is the kind of insight clue that may have originally connected BETC!Blitzwing to the techno-organic Blackarachnia-
#ask#anonymous#optimus prime#tfa optimus prime#sentinel prime#tfa sentinel prime#blackarachnia#tfa blackarachnia#blitzwing#tfa blitzwing#transformers#tfa#BETCs#bot experiment triple changers#maccadam#i could be wrong on how op and sp would react to being techno-organic#i'm just extrapolating from what was in the show#in order for blitz to find connection to to!op and to!sp they'd have to build up op and break down sp's propaganda#which sentinel seems the most attached to but that might be because op took the sentence and sp had nothing else to attach to left#so perhaps circumstances on the minute detail may shift the characterisations but... i did my best i think#idk i just based it off of how they reacted to blackarachnia and figured it out from there hah

part of me always thought it would be somehow more horrific to be harassed by thousands of internet strangers, let alone for saying what you've seen or for speaking about your convictions, but unfortunately now that i'm here yet again i'm blursed with the knowledge that any of them would immediately buckle under the same pressure, because their convictions evaporate hourly. and anyway you can essentially dispose of them with an API script and settings adjustment. i suppose replies and anon will be back soon, for those of you who know how to behave without being forced.
did any of them bother to review the last time somebody tried to pull this shit? if it works, if shouting someone down aggressively enough is what makes your truth correct, then why am i still here talking about it? what was the effort for? for every prediction i made about monkeypox, i was not far off. once again it hinges on a fundamental misinterpretation of the scale of the numbers at hand. six more preventable deaths are six great tragedies to me, do you have no soul or conscience? every time, it's objections to phrasing, or outright refusal to acknowledge or understand what i said. i suppose they must think six preventable deaths could not have been them, as if the indiscriminate violence of capital isn't demonstrated every day. what a privilege to be on the second-lowest rung of a ladder to hell, spitting down.
and despite what the cockroaches might think, crawling out of the woodwork to dredge this up like it's some kind of gotcha, it remains true that monkeypox would have been eradicable if we had simply kept up with smallpox vaccinations after smallpox was gone -- a thing there was admittedly not much evident purpose in doing, until the dual effectiveness of the vaccine became clear -- but if that's the case, then why did we need bruce ivins' anthrax false flag? to incept the strategic national stockpile, occupy the world's smallpox vaccine production capability, for profit? for a set of warehouses full of controlled-substance vaccines that will expire before they're ever used, despite the expedience of giving them to someone else instead? not to mention, again, the low cost. but i suppose now someone can say this beggars belief, and a conspiracy could logistically never be that detailed or complex, because they won't take the time to understand the argument i am making is not conspiracy but the automatic logistics of capital, which operate towards profit and self-preservation without intent or design.
i wanted to believe, too, that any of them would act better than the worst monsters did during WWII, or the aids epidemic, but some have taken it upon themselves to show me, multiple times, that is not the case. you'd execute the rosenbergs too. you'd bark like a dog just as nearly everyone did then, if someone questions the power you rely on to survive, instead of playing idpol games, or speaking politic. i certainly haven't been the first to say that it was a career-killing move to doubt the motive to war the last time we waged it. but i suppose now somebody will point out that i have no credibility, and no surplus of good will, without considering whether i want it from people who would act like that.

Silly little fun ask, but in a modern au, what would the ROs wear for Halloween?
Ooo, this is a fun ask!😄 It’s funny to imagine them all going to the same party. The chaos…
I: They always dress as the protagonist from classic horror novels - Frankenstein, Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, etc. They put in a lot of effort to make their costume as accurate as possible. They get a bit embarrassed if they ever have to explain who exactly they’re supposed to be, though.😅
Akriel: Dresses as the hot new celebrity of that year. No matter who it is, she copies every detail of their look - with an almost scary amount of accuracy. Tends to favor musicians, since she can use it as an excuse to perform for the whole night. And no, she will not stop if you ask - her costume isn’t complete if she doesn’t!
Firan: Dresses up as a king and uses it as an excuse to boss everyone around.😒 Spares no expense for his costume. To everyone’s annoyance, it actually works on him - almost like he was born to wear it. He plans to secretly switch to a wizard next year so Uriel can’t make more plans to menace him.
Clove: Sheet ghost. It makes them feel safe, and people actually approach them now! They wear it every year, and draw on a big smiley face so kids won’t be scared of them.🥺 They’ve become a bit of a local legend, actually - all the kids know to look for the super tall ghost to get a bunch of candy.
E: Predictably, they dress up as a knight. They are very particular about their costume - it has to look as real as possible. They take being a knight super seriously, too - no one will be stealing candy while they’re around!😤 They try to rein in Uriel’s antics, but end up becoming part of the spectacle.
Lei: There is a 50/50 chance she even bothers to wear a costume. If she does, it’s the lowest effort imaginable: past costumes have been toilet paper mummy, or simply plastic fangs to be a “modern vampire”. No one’s really brave enough to call her out on it - or mention the candy she always swipes.
Dimitrius: Like Clove, Dimitrius has a costume he likes and he sticks to it. Every year, he dresses as Westley from The Princess Bride - the Dread Pirate Roberts version. It might be an old movie, but it’s one of his favorites - and he gets to wear all black! Includes a fake sword so he can ward off other people.
Noel: Sherlock Holmes. Yes, he may be fictional - but he’s the perfect image of what a detective should be. Strives to make their costume as historically accurate as possible. They always end up hired to find someone’s missing candy, and are secretly excited to sleuth in the costume.😉
Uriel: Wears one of those joke sexy costumes but actually manages to pull it off. Think like, sexy Cat in the Hat. If he really wants to be a menace, he wears a sexy jester costume and then goes to bother Firan - she wants to see how long it takes before he snaps.😊
#ask the mists#oh boy here come the tags#ro#full tarokka deck#ch: i. winrow#ch: akriel lukas#ch: firan zal'honan#ch: clove#ch: e. blackbourne#ch: lei zhū#ch: dimitrius zarovan#ch: noel laurier#ch: uriel#dread reflection#i had a lot of fun with this one - thank you for the ask!!#whoops forgot the red for a sec lol

Character building can be such a lengthy process because I will have to determine every single intricacy about each and every character. I sit and think almost daily about how my ocs dress and walk and laugh and eat. I need to know what it would be like to be friends with them before I throw them into a plot line.
But on the other hand, I also never figure out any of the main details about their lives until I finally pull up my Google doc with all my thought out characters and do a few hours of research finding the perfect finishing touches to make them whole abd permanent in my mind.
Like, there's a oc I have that doesn't even have a name yet but I know what her hugs would feel like. I know one characters deepest traumas, I've seen her at her highest and lowest, and I haven't even considered what her home would look like yet.
How the hell am I ever going to actually start this story if I'm spending each and every bit of effort making every character whole and perfect. The whole point of a story is the characters that are involved and their development so I know I have to make these people exactly as I would want them to be. I will never finish this wip at this rate.
