i imagine you have a vault of unreleased content that you don't get around to posting for relatable reasons. if you do i humbly ask that you grace me with something. anything! close your eyes and pick a file? let fate decide. if you made it i'll like it, that's the point anyway

I’ve posted some panels or pieces of these but never the entire sequence on here I don’t think, so but this is one of the only substantial things I’d say I’ve kept in a vault.

I feel like compared to my newer stuff these look super rough, but they were really good practice.

These have pesterlogs that go with them but this post is already huge so eh. This was set to occur a couple hours after Caliborn’s masterpiece, so Roxy and Dirk are talking about Halquius’s heroic sacrifice/death. Davepeta and Dirk continue that line of conversation, while Roxy is pulled into an argument about self control as I bum everyone out by reminding them that Jasprose never actual stopped being an alcoholic.

#homestuck #rose lalonde #roxy lalonde #jasprosesprite^2 #davepetasprite #dirk strider #and Roxy was gonna bring it up cause she think he’s being weird for doing that #This was mostly just me messing around with the sprite^2s and fleshing them out #Also expanding upon Jasprose and Rose’s relationship cause I think it could be sooooo silly #anyway the last Jasprose panel intentionally looks like the scene in trickster mode where Dirk scolds Roxy for getting Drunk #Jasprose is all “you just hate me cause I remind you of mom #and Rose is like “No I hate you because you’re literally a worse #less articulate #horrifically selfish #version of me!”#Dirk asks Davepeta if they want a hug #cause of the whole brother/moirail death #and to both of their surprise they say no #that’s why they fist bump #The Lalonde’s conversation is left on a cliffhanger while Dirk dips out in order to do some soul searching #also the sprites not glowing anymore was a conscious decision #it’s meant to imply that now that they’re out of the medium they’re slowly losing their game construct-ness #also also Dirk’s house being in the middle of the ocean was a conscious decision #he put it there even though everyone else used Jade’s powers to have their houses move from their planets to Can Town #Roxy brings it up before they’re interrupted #anyway sorry for using this ask as an excuse to share old content I am just always brainrotting

Norma is objectively one of the funniest psychonauts characters though. she immediately assumes this 10 year old is the mole taking down the psychonauts from the inside and decides the best way to gather information is to stalk his dad. Ruins ford and raz’s plan to defeat maligula by being a snitch. Helped save the day by fixing the problem she caused. Is now in hell because she was wrong and all the other kids make her fortnite dance and shout go snitch girl go. Her sister got all the cool genes and now she’s stuck being an insufferable nerd. Probably says “well actually” at least ten times a day. Beefing with a 10 year old. Let’s give it up for pathetic & annoying female characters (fond).

#psychonauts #i don’t even think her thinking raz was the mole was unreasonable tbh #like obviously the adults are like this 10 year old isn’t the snitch #but she’s close enough to his age to not see that as an excuse and also I feel like that just made her feel like she was #the only one who could do anything about it.#by virtue of being the main character raz was involved in a lot of shit that made him seem suspicious #like I do enjoy her a lot even if I don’t necessarily agree with a lot of the fanon interpretations of her character #& I would love to see her and raz be worsties one day #because yes raz is only ten but he absolutely contributes to their beef on purpose #it’s like one of those things where u can’t snitch on him for being an ass because he’s ten and you’re a teenager #& people are like ohh norma come on he’s just 10 stop beefing with a child that’s stupid #and behind their back raz is making faces at her #i think they have great potential for antagonistic sibling energy once they get to know each other #raz behaves normally around the rest of the jr agents specifically to gaslight norma into thinking she’s an idiot for beefing with a child.#lili & lizzie would also absolutely help with this #god esp because raz has endeared himself so much to all of the big name agents AND Truman zanotto #i need 2 play psychonauts 2 again I’m so normal about this game

A piece I did back in October to celebrate the release date anniversary of Eidos-Montréal's Guardians of the Galaxy game.

The team (plus Mantis and Adam who got dragged along) decided to take a group photo with the tiny plant creature they collected for a job, but it seems they aren't alone!

#guardians of the galaxy #gotg game #marvel's guardians of the galaxy #drax #adam warlock #nikki gold #peter quill #star-lord #rocket raccoon #groot #gamora #mantis #my art tag #universe: eidos game #oh no the horrible feeling of posting OLD ART even though it's barely even a month old ahhhhh #I really wanted to do way more for the anniversary and wanted to include cosmo n lady hellbender but i didnt have the time to figure it out #the justification is that theyre too busy running knowhere/seknarf nine to go on creature snatching missions let's go with that #and kammy is back in the ship eating wires so that the team cannot escape #adam is going to be dragged around by the team forever due to intense guilt tripping however he doesnt get an excuse to not hang out #adam's fit is what hes wearing in the epilogue photos btw there's a concept piece by nicolas lizotte that shows the full non-cropped outfit #hoping that we get a sequel one day sighhhhh

Okay originally I made this as a random draft but APPARENTLY it’s relevant, so: Listen. I know everyone automatically makes Nico the vampire but HEAR ME OUT. He doesn’t have vampire energy. He has werewolf energy (so does Jason but that’s a given). You know who has vampire energy? Will Solace. He’d also be the perfect vampire. He’s a medic. He has convenient regular and question-free access to blood. He is probably randomly covered in blood often anyways. Nobody would suspect him.

#pjo #nico di angelo #will solace #read riordan #readriordan #the sun thing would be a problem though. unless he's one of those vampires that sparkle #in which case again: perfect excuse. he already glows who's to say a child of apollo cant sparkle. they probably can.#maybe he'd have immunity to the burn-in-sun thing as a son of apollo who knows #if he doesnt though it'd probably just be that one line from The Mouse's Fairy movies #(dont want to accidentally cross-tag that series so forgive the vagueness)#yknow the ''I dont do mud'' ''But you're a garden fairy!'' ''I know. Ironic innit?''#that except an apollo kid about going out in the sun #would you believe this is a like 7 year old strong opinion of mine that i just had lying around that randomly became relevant #apparently read riordan missed the costumes i gave all the protagonists like 6 years ago #cause it did include witch/mummy/and (Doctor) Frankenstein #ive been giving the Argo 2 crew halloween costumes for 7 years now okay #ol' ReadRiordan is behind on their game #''what would solangelo's costumes be'' i could tell you that. i have to answer that question every year.#ive been answering that question for 7 years

Not the antiblack, transphobic troll blog doing a classic dirty delete... Can't delete dumbassery love, that stays on the internet forever 😂

Dumbass already forgot the teen life stage exists, misgendered me in a random post showing both they ass cheeks, doubled down about it with a classic "he/she/it whatever they are", made fun of a black person's black sim's lips being "too big" while randomly hyping up a black sim made by a white simmer, posted 90% black sims making fun of their features while reblogging posts w/black celebrities like ice cube and Rihanna (probably the only black ppl they know) to add to their lil act, said "i don't only make fun of blacks" and blocked when confronted about it (soooo obvious), which was all pretty boring and expected and not worth acknowledging... but then they deleted all of that cos the big bad honest troll blog got no spine! which has me fucking rolling HELP 🤣

How ya gonna act like the voice of the ppl and delete all your bad takes? Didja get too many mean asks about them, baby boy? 🥺 can't stand by all ur meaningless dick swinging? feeling insecure about having no comeback skills on top of that? 🥺 every time someone bucks up at you you do a delete and stop acknowledging them and its so damn funny for someone pretending to be so hard and real. I mean I knew you were gonna mention me once you saw I said you have no skills, I was waiting to see what you'd come up with, but I didn't expect it to be this weak... imagine being a troll and taking obvious bait 🤭 just to confirm u got no talent. soooo sorry 😂

So much for "honesty" 😢

#ceci speaks #nonsims #text #delete later #not some of yall rallying around an obvious bigot pretending to be black #just say u want an excuse to talk about ppl sims instead of making it a civil rights issue #id respect u more if u did #but got theres nothing worse than a weak troll that got no skills #still aint gonna mention ur name bc i know its driving u wild not to get the free advertisement #you might as well stop deleting cos screenshots are forever sweetheart #sorry to address a troll yall but all this deleting is tickling me so bad #'it feels so good to be honest!!! im having a blast!!! really!! im so cool someone believe me!!!'#*deletes everything they say the minute they get backlash*#😂😂😂#these 20 year old minors aint never gonna learn the game #if ya get mentioned dw that lil bitch babie will delete it within 24 hrs #before mommy checks they internet history #🤣🤣🤣#i know i preach about not feeding trolls but yall got NOTHING to worry about with this one #im sorry love but some ppl got it and some dont... and u dont

Non FNAF old Scott Cawthon art style appreciation post

#btw I think Alphus-the first gif is the FNAF4 robot #I can't directly prove it but I think I'm right if you just compare #I'm sort of a sucker for this #Also yes I know Scott has done some questionable things I like the art that doesn't mean I excuse the artist #what do you call those kind of robots/srs #a similar art style is Machinarium-it's just more illustrator like instead on 90's computer game-look which Scott is known for #But still if someone knows what that's called tell me I really like makeshift robots like that :)#Also I don't think I have a non adolescence sense of nostalgia towards his art style but it still makes me think that I do #My gut says I had a ScottGames dvd when I was a kid even though I know I didn't #it's sort of uncanny ig #robots #robot art #art appreciation #overdetail #Also FNAF World is almost like a homage to his old games-as if it's a last hurrah sort of #because sadly it just dies off after that point #The PinkyPills reskins do not freaking count I WANT OVERLY COMPLICATED NON FNAF R O B O T S/hj

Repostober Day 26

Jasper and Topaz - September 2021

#lynxs art #repostober #renegade platinum #shinx #growlithe #ive never raised a growlithe before so im happy to have jasper #havent touched the game in at least a year #too much grinding ugh #thats the biggest thing i hate about pokemon games #“ohhh the old games were harder” no they werent they wasted your time with grinding #thats not challenge thats tedium #if i have to run around in the tall grass for a week before i can match the level of the lowest-leveled mon of a boss trainer #well excuse me for playing hyper light drifter or dead cells instead #because id rather actively improve technique than waste time running between pokemon centers

it's so frustrating dealing with a friend that seems set on finding imaginary slights against their person and seethes in silence waiting for you to figure out what you did 'wrong' this time 🤦‍♀️

#this is the fifth time since october i've invited her somewhere to catch up and she said no #always with some excuse #which. sure. i can't verify #maybe the 8th time in the last year she refused for some reason or another #but there's only so many times you can give someone the benefit of the doubt #when she never initiates anything and just waits for us to ask her out #and if you don't happen to do that within the secret interval of time she is available and which she never discloses #she registers it as a slight #i'm so tired of these stupid mind games how old are you/??#also she is SO hard to get hold of. never answers anything on any messaging app for days on end including the weekends #even if the proposal is time sensitive #girl you are NOT that busy bffr #i remember we invited her to see barbieheimer and she did not freaking answer on time. as usual.#and we had to get tickets without her bc the time slots quickly sold out #and ofc she was pissed at us bc she's can't be bothered to reply 🤦‍♀️#she always is pissed even when it's clearly her fault #when she clearly sees the message bc she DOES check the apps whaddyaknow #and the one time we did manage to see each other she had the gall to propose that we go out more often!!!#and then never initiates anything and refuses everything #ik if i were to recount this to a third person they would tell me she already checked out of this friendship #it's so stupid #having to walk on these eggshells #bc we didn't even have a falling out she's just finding pretexts to become offended #that was been her modus operandi since the freaking pandemic #good lord the stories i have #lemonposting #anyway i'm bummed out now

uhhh the kiss trope meme :

The Forceful Kiss

You are getting increasingly frustrated. Your Love Interest is ignoring your affections for them, even though you're making it oh so blatantly obvious. And you love them so much, so much that you CAN'T STAND IT, that you wish they would stop ignoring you, and stop being so OBLIVIOUS to your love for them. What do you have to do? Why, you grab them, pull them close to you and plant one right on those lips that you've been dying to kiss for so long. -- And of course, you may not think about what possible consequences your actions could bring you, since you are swept away in the emotions that drive you.

tagged by: @lultimagoccia ! tagging: @bgtop, @strebcr, @platanoprose [ frances or conrad! ], @witchbcy, @erotoph, errrm and anyone else who wants.

#REAAALL theyre right #tysm for the tag i love having an excuse to do these. obsessed w the way crazy old men love #dash games.

is the morrowind fandom on tumblr a safe space or do i have to justify my "at least a Handful of the dagoth siblings should be women. voryn included" hc

at least half of them should be nb, methinks

#vaguely women i mean #in my mind palace the dagoths dont have strong gender roles or anything like that #and also like. nearly every important character in the game is male and i dont vibe with it #its an old game but that doesnt rly excuse it #i see a lot of modern media where most of the characters are men too so like. i always Change that myself #all ur fictional villains are women now and also theyre my gfs /lh #dagoth ur was legit my lesbian awakening as embarrassing as that sounds 😭#they were also my Girl awakening. theyve Gendered me #everyone has an Awakening journey and im afraid mine involves dagoth ur #as weird as that sounds 🥴

ffxiv garlemald discourse is so funny because people will go "ugh people just cant stand it when things aren't black and white" and then you look at how the empire are portrayed in stormblood and shadowbringers and its like hm. that seems like a pretty intense and accurate display of violent imperialism to me! Wow I wonder why people in this day and age may find it hard to feel sympathy for them or even hate them on principal. god its such a mystery.

the games like 50/50 to me on how it tackles these themes because I actually like the garlemald arc in EW, I think it has a lot of horrific and powerful scenes depicting how self destructive fascist propaganda and beliefs are, but I also think it doesn't go far enough on some fronts. the garleans' xenophobia is most notably and obstacle to getting them to accept the contingent's help, which is what they're there to do,

but there's never an admission of harm from any garleans on the uuuuuuuuh massive amount of war crimes the nations around them are still suffering from they're just kind of like "we misjudged you...but you actually wanted to help us all along" like yeah thats great now can we get you all some deprogramming because you keep talking about returning to your prime and glory days and I think we need to unpack some stuff you really SHOULDNT return to. im not even really talking about EW proper but the patches where things are a bit more chilled out and people are recovering.

It feels like they wanted to have their critique of imperialism and also have things end with the beauty of human connection and reaching out and these things just don't mesh well because hey a lot of your modern day audience is not gonna like having to treat people yelling xenophobic things at the cast and your character with kid gloves after you showed them hours and hours of the awful things these people's beliefs have done. especially in the present day hoo boy.

#im kind of torn between 'no characters dont need to be 'punished' to be redeemed but also the characters just being so lenient with the #colonizers after we see far too many people being lenient if not supportive of the colonizers irl. well. it really blows afslkjfalkf and #yeah you can argue if they'd gone through with the garlemald expansion they would've had more time to go into this but the fact is that its #absent from what they did do and I especially think the patches when we go to garlemald and the EW role quests going 'hey maybe the #provinces can help us rebuild' as if they'd have any goddamn right to ask that just make me feel like they didnt stick the landing #seeing all the characters who have suffering time and time again bc of the garleans or seen the results of their actions having to clamp #their mouths shut every time someone said something xenophobic in EW isnt satisfying and it leaves so much unsaid!#also some people feel like the narrative didnt blame emet enough but ngl I think thats reductive even with his micromanaging scheming littl #ass and the intention of garlemald turning out a shitshow that doesnt make anyone else less complicit. most governments like this exaggerat #and lie and spread propaganda but I dont think most people here excuse the actions of a bigot because 'they were raised that way'#this is also my issue with gaius' writing. hes primarily upset that ascians were behind what he thought was his good old fashioned natural #conquering ideology :( and doesnt it suck so much he killed people for it. like yeah he seems pretty aware what he did was wrong but his #ideology remains bizarrely intact and unchallenged by the characters around him. no dude it wasnt just the ascians the system is a lot more #complex than that by this point aaaaaugh #final fantasy xiv #ffxiv #siren says #I hope people are nice to me about this I dont think I said anything particularly controversial to the Tumblr crowd (twt maybe but fuck em)#ig my main point with this post is that the game isnt perfect at writing this and also that look. I actually liked the main arc in EW and I #like quite a few garlean characters but I completely understand why others didnt like it or any garleans esp if they have their own persona #experiences with colonialism and I dont get to tell them they're invalid for that. too many people get judgmental about this understandably #upsetting topic and you just gotta accept that this is a big line for many people
