Activating a new tower is always a bit of a thrill. There’s the music, the awesome views, the way the tower turns from orange to blue, and the fact that you get another section of the map filled in, and so much area to explore!

time to release my "Pizzaface is actually a himbo" theory/AU into the world.

not to diminish his crimes or anything but it's uncanny how many of pizza twink's actions can be explained through general lack of forethought, social awareness and common sense, as opposed to evil

I don’t know how far I can get with this, but designs for tattoos in alphabetical order, since apparently I can’t stay away from an ABC for too long.

happy anniversary to FE13! i was drawn back to this game after getting into another, though completely different game, Slay the Princess. the conflict and shifting forms reminded me a lot of what had stuck out to me in FE13, so i decided to go back and play through it.

i also made a small doodle too of the vessels during the creation of this piece. you can find it below in the read more, as well as a small list of who's who :D

a last thank you to @anoldwishbone for helping me with the glass shards and effects!

from left to right: the beast (it/its), the damsel (she/he), the prisoner (she/her), the spectre (she/her) the witch (bottom, they/them), the tower (top, she/her), the razor (middle, he/him), the adversary (top, she/her), and the nightmare (middle, she/her).

tower, adversary, and nightmare's designs were pretty unclear to me even a day before the deadline, hence why they're pretty loose here.

i ended up giving the tower elice's clothes from fe11/fe12, and the adversary was given a mix of the dread fighter's outfits in fe13 and fe15. the nightmare's clothing is still a big WIP though, since fe13's story is still yikes. would still love to explore swana and central asian fashion for plegian characters.

How liquid/goopy do you think Fake Peppino is?

Oh boy, Fake Peppino biology headcanons!

So, I lean more towards "something that tries to be solid, but can choose to / be forced into becoming more liquid-like, and is somewhat inconsistent throughout" for my interpretation, personally.

It's absolutely clear from in-game that Fake Peppino is goopy on some level, but I don't imagine that he's made up of a literal liquid. I think his body is more like an amalgamation of this vaguely dough-like, vaguely flesh-like gooey organic mass that is trying its hardest to be Peppino-shaped, "clothes" and all, even if it's just a distorted facsimile. I don't think his mass is completely stable in the way a full flesh-and-blood creature is (or hell, even as stable as most pizza monsters are with their presumably semi-magical biology), so his body still drips and shifts around, but it's got a high viscosity to it under normal circumstances, meaning that his body structure remains relatively cohesive when he's at rest or moving around casually.

That being said, I also imagine goop from his body can slough off forcefully if he moves extremely quickly / suddenly, like if he deforms or contorts too rapidly, or if he collides against something with sufficient force (see: the gooey spattering particle effects in his boss fight). Although, punching and kicking him sure felt like hitting something alive and semi-solid, from Peppino's perspective at least, so whether sheer force makes Fake Peppino solidify or liquefy is somewhat inconsistent and probably depends on the context. (When he's dazed or vulnerable I think he probably has a lot harder time holding himself together, at least.)

I figure you can't push your hand through him or anything (... unless he allows it). It'll probably feel more like pressing against greasy/slimy skin that's a little too squishy, with something subtly writhing beneath the surface. Although if you shook hands with him there would definitely be a firmness to it, maybe briefly fooling you into thinking he actually has bones.

His mass has shapeshifting properties, which allows him to quickly and easily shift into a near-liquid form whenever it's convenient for him, like when he wants to slip through tight narrow spaces, escape into cracks into the floor, or get past barriers or grates. (He also involuntarily slimes himself when he's feeling extremely stressed out, sometimes, but that's more uncommon.) In this state his mass is more like a thick semi-liquid living substance that only sticks to things it chooses to stick to, like some sort of giant gooey amoeba.

I don't think the solidity of his body is always uniform throughout, though. The inside of his body tends to be... looser, for a lack of a better word, and can profusely ooze liquid-like goop if a part of his body is removed or opened up that isn't really "meant" to be removed-- although it'll settle down and solidify into a more viscous state in a minute or two. His hat is a good example of this, based on his boss health icon.

Regardless of whether it's current behaving like a liquid or solid, all of his mass is alive, has something resembling a cellular structure, and all of it is Fake Peppino. Hope this helps!

Charlie Slimecicle is a gift from god holy SHIT his monologue??? y'all i am so, so, so hopeful for c!Quackity now that he's gotten it kicked into his head that his empathy is his most persistent, most inevitable, and most crucial quality. Quackity watching Slime evolve on the harshest lessons of life, taught by both Purpled and him...then having that product of their cynical natures kill them both? having Slime say outright to his face that 'the same human ruined our lives' before making him fall from his creations? Quackity watched as the rules he built to protect himself ended up getting him killed, and then learned his lesson! he says he's making his last chance count bc it's the last legacy he'll get to leave behind. he knows he can't bottle his emotions bc he'll get attached regardless, so now he might actually communicate about issues and meaningfully resolve the tensions he has between Dream, Purpled, and - oh yeah - Karl and Sapnap.

Listen, call me a conspiracy theorist if you want, but I really feel like the official merch is hinting that the 2 player update might be coming soon.

Hey!

Just because the future of @peppizza-au is uncertain doesn’t mean i can’t make fanart for it! (seriously really interesting)

On Rivers, and Holes

Varun, via Judith: "they are coming out of their tower, salt thing. There is a hole at the bottom of their tower." (Chapter 27)

Me, half asleep: "heh, just like the Tower of London."

Me:

I'd already been thinking for some time about how Ianthe and Kiriona are probably allusions the murdered tower princes (Edward V and Richard) from the Tower of London and this uh.

Tazmuir is at it again etc.

Specifically, in the Tower of London complex, there's a place called Dead Man's Hole:

This unassuming alcove in London’s famous Tower Bridge once served to capture, store, and display dead bodies from the River Thames.

(source: Atlas Obscura)

A hole used to catch and hold dead bodies floating down a River, you say? Where have we heard about a problem river before...

oh yes HtN, of course, thank you Abigail Pent (Chapter 45):

“A spirit can be trapped,” said Abigail, “trapped as every spirit in the River is trapped …"

"Something has gone terribly wrong in the River, Harrow, and I wish you’d find out what.”

HMMMMM

What is the Tower then, a plug? A sieve? A pulling black hole? (Dominicus?) A lure or a block?
