when Fenris finally calls u his friend & u need to cry in the bath, oil on canvas

i'm still stuck on the purgatories so here's a list of purgatory 2 moments simply off the top of my head that deserve to be remembered:

aimsey ducking all of axolotl team alone in a cave with literally half a heart

goose gang fucking descending on the raccoon base and absolutely wrecking shop

ethan crankgameplays clutching up for team panda during the capture the flag game by being the only one hanging out in the center and periodically checking the chests, earning them a shitton of flags and clutching multiple rounds

crow team's egg taking 0 damage

pac doxxing goose gang's egg in the last second

shelby shubble as the last member of her team online writing a letter to aimsey and sharing the world's most devastating ten minutes before her team was eliminated with one of the eye creatures (coco? i forgot lol)

badboyhalo absolutely fucking DEMOLISHING the battleship event on like 2 hours of sleep and a dream

wuant(?) stealing a tv from the battleship event and then playing portuguese ice age on it for the crows lmfao

tubbo djing for his team while waiting for the time for a goose gambit

theguill CRASHING THROUGH THE FUCKING CEILING of the raccoon team's hidey hole like the fucking kool aid man in a last effort to save his team and 4v1 or 5v1 ing team raccoon; he lost but that was such an epic fucking moment

theguill and etoiles pvping and each hyping the other's skills the entire time

seapeekay escaping cellbit and baghera and then stealing their boats and rocketing past to tease them about it; that shit was iconic

kenny going mad with power collecting sand on literally day 1

the english speaking squirrels taking actual physical notes on portuguese phrases (i think)

lgbtiba

i may add more this is an off the top of my head list but like got DAMN i like these events :D i like them a lot

*insert that meme of those stick people after a fight* I did another pair but rlly went all out for it. I went through so many podcast eps and movie reviews and then realized i can watch game playthroughs too lol Alan Wake II is so good y'all. Anyways! these are each 600g, a bit more than my usual accents due to the work n being a pair. As usual, thread in reblog

having a job is great lol i get to upgrade my look every salary

i was being a completely sane person today (/s) and was creating a timeline tree for snm would anyone even be interested in that. and collecting my shipping thoughts (or specifics about them being a couple etc). know that i still consider my knowledge of the franchise as poor. its just tidying it up in my head so when i talk about something i can pinpoint a specific thing (i was too deep in fnaf theorizing so now i have to suffer thru a franchise that doesnt even have a canon)

in short/tldr the comics are the base that happened in every possible timeline and everything else is derived from that, happening after, except the cartoon, which shows some events the same way so that would be more intertwined; not everything is connected/within one timeline. and the cartoon is my most fav and where i see them as a true couple.

long rant ahead

on one hand i really like the time travel theory where its like comics -> ttg -> cartoon etc by them travelling back in time for that, however there are many holes especially thinking about their families and stuff so

i like the idea of things branching off. one branch is comics - htr - cartoon, as something more intertwined

second is comics -> ttg -> poker night 2 (since it references ttg events) (idk bout 1 i havent played/seen that)

third would be comics -> ttiv (or comics -> htr -> ttiv, i have no idea atm if bosco's is mentioned in the comics but it is in htr and mentioned in ttiv. ttiv is also set in the year it came out, so theres a huge gap inbetween ttiv and htr but i wouldnt say its where the ttg games happened!)

and i dont mean this in like a multiverse way, since the creator seems to dislike that, its simply just a very loose canon that differs with each installment (simply due to different people working on these imo. nothing too deep imo)

but the juicy part!! i even made brackets that im too lazy to remake digitally so i will just write it out for each bigger installment. im excluding poker night 1 as i havent played it nor watched much gameplay

M = married, BF = best friends (in all technically)

comics: M - unlikely; BF - yes absolutely

htr: M - possible; BF - yes

cartoons: M - i take it as canon here. BF - yes million percent

ttg all seasons: M - no; BF - yes.

poker night 2: M - not sure, implied dating, i take that as good enough; BF - yes

ttiv: M - absolutely not. not a couple at all. BF - they seem too tense, yes, but from my experience playing, their interactions were imo the worst in all of their media, so i wasnt buying it at some points

note - ttiv has to be like the straightest they ever were and i also see it in S.P.'s more recent work. im looking too deep into that, perhaps, but im just thinking were never gonna get anything similar to what we got from back in the 90s again, if theres any future projects

people are also saying they got married like 4 times and its making me a bit confused here. do people mean cartoon, htr dress up card, cake topper and tdph ring scene or am i missing something big?? because to me that is married once, other ones being just for jokes (first one as well but its less vague), and in the ttg games its so extremely vague i cant count that (being realistic here) that said its still fun to joke about them getting married several times, but in this case wouldnt it be more of a marriage per timeline?

and to end this, a personal tierlist

my most fave obviously is the cartoon. not only is it the easiest to work with for me, with the fast pacing and short watch time (but ofc i wish it was longer) i absolutely love how their relationship is depicted there, even if a lot of stuff there is just jokes, but if everything is a joke then its also fine to take everything as canon within this media, to me! like when haters say that people only take the wedding scene out of the intro and ignore the rest - as if the other stuff couldnt happen (isnt one of the shots them fighting a giant octopus, which they end up having an episode about too. like cmon. anything goes here) even if it was contained within this specific part of the franchise, im ok with calling them a couple here. and its S tier overall

another S tier is the comics. nothing else to say

HTR is like A tier to me, only taking off points because its soooo sloooowwww and playing it after watching the series took 3 years off my life immediately. otherwise gud game.

ttg is like A to B tier for me, because of some specifics and preferences but thats just me being nitpicky so, the games overall are good. A- it is. thats all

poker night 2 is fun, i watch the gameplay a lot lately when im too tired at midnight to do anything else, A tier

ttiv. oh how mixed i am about you. gameplay by itself and my first experience with the game - S tier. it made me so giddy more than one time and i kept wanting to come back until i finished the game fully. i dont mind the bugs, its just what i expect in VR games and even tho it made me a bit frustrated at times it wasnt all that bad. its also the only vr game i played for over an hour once and didnt get motion sick - the exception was the level at the store which seemed too bright and actually made me nauseous. which is a feeling that somehow comes back whenever i think about this game. what i dislike was the dialogue, while most of it was fun and fine, i had moments where i just burst out laughing, they (or max especially) were way too mean towards the player. i know its a joke and you could chalk it up to max being unhappy with us/jealous, but it got like, generally unpleasant very quickly. with stuff like good throw - "nice!" bad throw - *neverending insults* and the second was how painfully straight it was and like. the vibes i got from them two was like, oh theyre fed up with each other and my shipping self was just left quite disappointed. i did not get all lines during my gameplay which made it great but upon going thru every line manually after, i was just more and more uncomfortable with what they said in their banter. this drops the game to like C for me? maybe B if i squint. being generous. i also got sick of their talking animations over time... the models are fine just got to be too much. bonus points for max ragdoll physics tho. coming up with a conclusion that this is a completely separate timeline and has nothing to do with anything other than the comics and perhaps HTR. i talked so long about this one cause its the one thing that prompted all of this lol.

but its not that serious! i just knew this franchise for ages as "oh its the two animal guys that are married and its funny" and now that i got into it fully, i see a lot of the shippers are obviously daydreaming and taking things out of context - which is fun, i agree!! i also do that. but it just painted a completely different picture for me. so no. theyre not married, theyre not a couple, except for the cartoon, where its implied, which stays on top for me. but in ttg at least, they love each other, its not as romantic, but i can ship them there (so i ship them in the context of the cartoon and ttg basically)

anyway. nothing is canon for them, everything is canon for them, and everything they say or do is a joke so. its not that deep at all. they gay tho

renga week warmups :]

chapter seven of our hearts know deeper seasons than our memories is up! y'all were waiting for the nancy angst, now you got the nancy angst

“You’re not Robin,” Max says. “Very observant of you.” It comes out harsher than she means it to. Nancy sets Robin’s coffee on the vanity in front of her empty chair. “But…she always walks to set with you.” Nancy can’t bring herself to look over at them, but she can still see Max’s frown out of the corner of her eyes. And, behind her, Mrs. Holland’s entirely too sympathetic gaze. Nancy bites the inside of her cheek and shrugs. “I didn’t see her this morning.” She turns on her heel and walks out before Max can say anything else.

i was gonna watch the vgk-dal game to bandwagon the stars but then i realized that if i have to see hertl in that jersey even once it's literally my last day, and also mike grier's last day, on planet earth, so.

Give me the Android AU lore i will EAT that shit right up 🤲

OKAY. I thought I had more images but then remembered that I. aheem... wrote a lot of this out instead of drawing it. Whoopsie. Anyway readmore, etc etc.

SO we start with the city? It's set up in districts and is kind of like sci fi Venice. I played a lot of BG&E when I was youbger and it influenced me a lot here.

The Motherlobe is a lab in this (teehee... motherlab...) and was rebuilt after an incident with a rogue AI severely injured one Helmut Fulbear. It's the geart of the town (and produces tech.)

Psychic powers are little chips you can put into devices and activate when you need them. Adam's yoyo or, in this AU specifically, Gisu's terrible horrible van (and her levboard, but she has a van in this and I have concept art of it. so. Van be upon ye.)

Also. Intern outfit designs I never finished because.... IDK why actually. Probably a mix of work and not jiving with them all.

Norma has a prosthetic arm in this. Also.

I kind of want to go back and rework these. However there are other android AUs and little situations to put these freaks in. So who knows. No prommies. Morris had LEDs on his chair, though. And Sam made little animatronic animals for fun.

Yeah. Gisu is the sort-of protagonist of this AU because.... she's tge one who figures out the Aquatos are androids. They're state of the art, above current standards, and completely unaware they aren't human. Except for one. Aheehee.

A few other sketches of art for this (AUs that take place a little further along in life meaning I got to fiddle with Lili's design for the first time.)

Having a crazy good week in a crazy good year, man. Summer vacation just started, I have a festival volunteering gig lined up with my friends, and have just had more near-consecutive late nights out with friends in a row than i have ever had in my entire life (did a VFX studio tour that came with free pizza, attended my college's end of year party in FABULOUS gomez addams cosplay, and attended an indie games arcade social mixer for the volunteers).

I even debuted my preferred name with my workplace!! :D i'd been awkwardly using my legal name there the whole time, but after an entire year at a college where everyone just calls me Can and forgets I even have a legal name, I decided to make the change and they've been great about it!!

Anyway it'a crazy that in-person art school with a bunch of cool gay neurodivergent ppl made me realise I'm more of an extrovert than I previously figured - that's what a healthy social environment does 2 a guy i guess!! Hope next year is just as fun, if not more 🥺💛

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 10: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should join the travelers on the larger river boat for a short lunch ...

~

"Before he even fully musters the courage to shout a 'hello', the large group on the boat initiates contact first, gleefully waving at him, whooping and shouting as they near his tiny raft in the water. Apparently, some of them were betting over whether they'd actually find any other travelers out on the river today.. He fumbles over his words a bit, as always, but somehow manages to successfully get himself invited onto their boat for a quick lunch..

After safely securing his raft to the side of the boat with some spare rope, he climbs aboard, stumbling into the excitement of some sort of celebration. A few of them explain that they're traveling for 'kahesallei', an old elven holiday recently re-popularized in some of the larger cities nearby. Whatever it's true meaning and origins used to be, the current significance (at least to those within the city walls) seems to just be mindless feasting, drinking, and gaudy decor. Most of the traveling group are strangers to each other, only brought together by catching a ride on the same tour/party boat, but the mood is light, quite friendly between them, and perhaps a bit drunk.

While the boat itself is relatively plain wood, it's been strewn with gold and orange banners, flags, shimmery tassels, beads, and bushels of dark green ivy braided with fresh herbs and wildflowers. There are flat round tables of food and drink, plenty of cushions to lounge on, and one random guy perched precariously on the edge railing of the boat, gently strumming a lute for background music..

The elderly ship captain hobbles over to The Adventurer, sternly explaining that, no matter what the 'silly' passengers say, he's only allowed to stay for an hour because he didn't pay for a boat ride ticket, and thus really shouldn't even be allowed on board. By the time The Adventurer has mentally processed this information, the captain has already returned to his little steering room, slamming the door shut with a displeased grunt.. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to confront him or question the rules...... But! Hey, at least he has one hour at the party.. How should he spend his time? "

Additional Information

the adventurer's current main goal: follow his map to reach the abandoned castle ruins and see the rare animal specialist about the mysterious egg he has

final vs sketch, The Agony of Bonus Links Page 21 Edition. The top row is the final page vs the sketch I settled on, which is usually what I show for these bc it’s usually all I have. The rest is.......every other panel layout I tried to get there this time lol. There’s actually a few more but I didn’t want this post to be miles long.

This page was tricky because it had to do a lot of heavy lifting story-wise without overcrowding or rolling over to an added page I didn’t have time to make. My solution was basically to resist the urge to act out every single action and leave more implied. Let the space between panels do my work for me lol! At least I learned something

just finished ffvii rebirth. holy fuck

Hey grian, why the fuck does this thing have meat now??

Reference to my other post

pov ur parents send u some of the worst vacation selfies of them ever in a family group chat text

Ooops, I forgot to post it around here 🚶🚶

Here is “Wanna be a Human“, an aikoto doujin from 2010 I bought the other day! I don’t have a scanner, so phone pics is the best I can offer (but it’s readable)

It’s a collection of 3 doujin drawn/written by まつ (Pine?) during 2009-2010. Their Pixiv is innactive and their Twitter is mostly for their pets now, so I guess they aren’t drawing anymore (or stoped posting it online)

It’s super super cute, you should check it 💛💙
