Devlog #16: Answers and Questions

Hello everyone! Welcome to this month’s devlog!

If you just stumbled upon this, I am Adrienne, also known as insertdisc5! I’m the developer, writer, artist, main programmer, etc of the game. The game being In Stars and Time, a timeloop RPG, which is also the next and final game in the START AGAIN series, following START AGAIN: a prologue (available here!).  You can find out more about In Stars and Time here!!! 

LET’S GET TO IT. This month is Q&A: Cohost edition!

“A Q&A again?” Heheh well I don’t have anything to talk about this month ✨ We’re working hard on finalizing the localization! And on porting to consoles! And on secret stuff! You know, the usual!!! Get excited!!! So, Q&A again 💖 And see, I asked questions for Q&As on Twitter. On Tumblr. On Discord. But some new social media platforms have entered the fray. SO.

Welcome to Q&A: Cohost edition. (Follow me on cohost and/or read this post I wrote about why I think cohost is neat teehee) (and follow me on bluesky if you want. I like it way less though. Sorry bluesky)

@ItsMeLilyV asks:

One of the bits of advice that gets tossed around by indie devs is to avoid making RPGs, especially for your first few games, because they tend to be large in scope, difficult to prototype, and easy to underestimate.

Was this ever a fear for you in making START AGAIN, or In Stars and Time? Did you take any special precaution to keep these games within a scope you could handle, and did you learn tricks from START AGAIN that carried over to ISAT when in came to keeping things manageable? Thank you!! ✨

I had no idea that was a piece of advice given, but yep, that makes a lot of sense! Since I didn’t know, I went in blissfully aware, teehee.

I will say that I am familiar with working on big projects from working on comics, and with seeing big webcomic artists always mention to never start with your magnum opus… And I could tell ISAT had the potential to be way bigger than I imagined, which is why I decided to start with creating the prologue to get used to RPGMaker as well as making games. Kind of a pilot of sorts!

Again, thanks to comics, I know to keep my scope pretty small, because even if you keep it small it WILL balloon into something way bigger than you thought. Just for the prologue, I imagined it’d be a 20mn game, and it’s easily a 2-3h one! Keep your scope small!!!

As for tricks, when I catch myself thinking “wow what if I added this cool thing”, I try to always keep in mind those two things: 1. How long will it take to implement (including bug testing), and 2. Does it add something important to the game. I know we always want to add a fishing game, or a fun minigame, but do you Need It. Does it add something substantial to the story, to the Themes. Or are you just adding it because you like fishing games. Which is a valid reason, but also, maybe just make a fishing game instead. You are not the Yakuza series!!!! You are a small indie gamedev!!!! Think about you in 4 months who has to fix all the fishing game bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@stem asks:

how is it to have a piece of art that's basically done (as far as i understand) that you can't share yet? like how do you personally bide the time until it's finally ready to release, or is it not really a challenge to wait? :0c

It’s so weird!!! The game has been done for so long!!! I’m very glad I asked some friends to playtest the game, so I could at least get some feedback before the game is out… In some ways it feels like the game will be done twice: once back when I finished making the game, and once when the game actually comes out. It’s just a very strange experience. Sometimes people tell me they’re excited to find out more about this story beat, or about this character, and a part of me is like… Wait, haven't you played the game? Oh, yeah, it’s not actually out. Guess you’ll find out later.

EDIT: My god. I just checked on my private devlog for when I completed the Alpha of ISAT. It was in August of last year (I lay down on the floor and look at the ceiling) (I still had to finish all the illustrations so really the game was Done Donezo in October but still…)

anon asked:

What role did Armor Games play in creating the final product?

SO MANY THINGS. Here are some of them: support when it comes to porting/marketing/social media/localization, feedback on the game and how to make it better, community guidance, testing support, QA/internal testing… The game couldn’t be the way it is without them.

For more small details, I have a weekly meeting with my producer, Dora! We talk about the game and how everything is going. A couple months back, I also was checking in with the internal QA team fairly often to fix any remaining bugs. They also helped me find ISAT’s additional programmer, Isabella, and she is a godsend because coding is hard. They also take care of communicating with press, finding more opportunities to showcase the game in conventions, talking with the localization/porting teams… I am probably forgetting a thousand little things they did to help out!!! THEY’RE SO GOOD OK

Anon asked:

So obviously the skills/spells/what have you are based off of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Did you design each "type" to be like a certain style? Rock being heavy damage and defense buffs, scissors being speed and quick attacks, like that?

Absolutely! I just went with the obvious. Rock is physical damage, defense focused, Scissors is swords, attack focused, and Paper is magic, mind focused. It was fun to develop a spell system around those! I’m excited for people to find out more about Craft…

@nickshutter asks:

I really loved START AGAIN (streamed it for a small handful of friends) and was super happy to hear about a follow-up! The cast is so much fun and their personalities are really well-balanced—did any of the characters change pretty drastically from their initial conception during development of the game?

I’m so glad you streamed it with friends… I hope you had a good fun time…

And for sure! Isabeau and Mirabelle were pretty set from the get go (himbo and shy wallflower), but Odile started as more of a gentle teacher type, even if I very quickly went the snarky old lady route. Siffrin and Bonnie were harder to pin down– I wasn’t sure how to portray Siffrin’s despair in the prologue, and started showing them more overtly depressed, but I thought it’d be Very Yummy to have them show a happy facade to their friends. And then, for ISAT, I had to figure out what a non-depressed Siffrin would be like, for the first couple acts of the game before the despair sets in. As for Bonnie, I had a lot of trouble figuring out what they’d be like, what kind of kid they were, what their relationship with everyone else would be like, and then I thought about what their past would be like and then their characterization was set in stone. Sometimes you need to figure out One Thing to unlock a character’s brain. I’m very excited for everyone to find out more about each character in ISAT!

@SuperBiasedGary asks:

What games (or other media) lit a fire under you to create your own?

It could be stuff you liked so much it inspired, something you found frustrating because you felt an itch to do it differently, or something that made you realise humans make things and you could be one of them.

I found a lot of indie games inspiring, but I think Umineko might’ve been the one that made me go… Oh, anyone can just make a massive video game narrative. And you can make it very simple, with kinda goofy sprites, and still manage to make an incredibly touching story!

As for frustrating games that lit a fire under me, I think I’d say in general, I found issue with the classic trope of the “main character helps people and doesn’t get anything back”. What often happens in some games is that you help NPCs with their problems, sometimes helping them with very intense, complicated problems! For a very long time! And, in exchange, you get… A cool item? A nice new skill? And that’s it?

I know this might be complicated to implement on a narrative perspective, but I remember playing Persona 5, and your character just went through a very harrowing experience (like, oh, being INTERROGATED AND TORTURED BY THE POLICE) and you help your friends during social links, and they go “thanks for your help! Bye~” like WHAT ABOUT ME. WHAT ABOUT MY PROBLEMS. CAN YOU GIVE ME A HUG

So on a certain level, I wanted a game where instead of the characters around you having problems, the main character also has problems. And is subconsciously screaming “CAN YOU PLEASE NOTICE I HAVE PROBLEMS AND GIVE ME A HUG.” And hopefully, the characters notice. Winks

Hm. I do want to say I wrote most of the prologue/ISAT during the pandemic, and I felt very lonely and not supported. But then guess what. I told my friends about how I felt. And most of them told me they had no idea, and vowed to support me more. And now I’m closer to them. So the moral of this answer is, yeah, it’d be nice if people noticed, but also, you need to tell people when you’re feeling bad. LOOKS AT SIFFRIN

Anon asked:

Is there a song you listen to in order to put yourself in the sasasa/ISAT mindset?

I have a whole playlist baybee. Before you ask: there aren’t any hidden meanings behind those song choices. It’s about the Mood, and also my personal tastes in music I listen to when I need to concentrate. I like songs that go WUB WUB

 In no particular order, here are five random songs I played on repeat when making the prologue:

Future Club (Arcade Version) by Perturbator (in bold because this was THE song I listened to on repeat. I believe I gave it to Lindar for inspiration lol)

Arcades by C2C

Wake Me Up by Para One

The First Wish by DROELOE

Les Enfants du Paradis by World’s End Girlfriend

And here are five random songs I played on repeat for In Stars and Time:

Down by Chloe x Halle

Nonsense Bungaku by Eve

Non-Breathe Oblige by PinocchioP

Gentle Heart by Jamie Paige

Ready For The Floor by Hot Chip

It’s interesting, the songs I listened to for the prologue are generally more heavy and frenetic, while the ones for ISAT are more hopeful… I made sure to listen to more lively songs for ISAT, since that’s the feeling I wanted to give off…

That’s all the questions I have! In other, non related ISAT news, I have started a new project and having a lot of fun. It’s a visual novel this time. I’m hoping to get some screenshots ready in the next few months, but also I’m taking it easy on this one. If it takes years with many breaks in between to get it done, it’s fine. What matters to me right now is the process!

That’s all I have to say for today! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there’s any aspect of the game development struggle you’d like me to talk about! See you next time!!!

AND DON’T FORGET TO WISHLIST THE GAME ON STEAM ALSO IT REALLY HELPS BECAUSE STEAM’S ALGORITHM IS MORE LIKELY TO SHOW OFF GAMES WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF WISHLISTS THAT’S THE REASON WHY GAME DEVS ALWAYS ASK TO WISHLIST!!! OKAY BYE!!!!

What are your thoughts on Glimmet and Glimmora, if you don't mind sharing? :0c

This is just a straight-up weird line. These two almost feel more like Ultra Beasts than regular Pokemon, except the designs are too simple and non-humanoid to really fit the UB aesthetic.

While it might not immediately be obvious what these guys are supposed to be, it's likely they're based off of chalcanthite, which is a kind of copper sulfate that is very toxic (hence the rock/poison typing) and Very Blue.

The line is also meant to resemble plants in a similar way to how Lurantis is supposed to resemble a bug; for this reason, Glimmet's shape looks a lot like an onion or other root vegetable to me, with it becoming a full-fledged flower when it evolves:

Visually, it's got an incredibly simple design, so there's not a lot to talk about there. The blue is striking, and I love the design of the eyes; the combo of the pointy head and tiny little dot eyes are a pretty dang cute feature on an otherwise alien Pokemon.

I do find myself wishing that the body was a different color though. It's hard to tell what it's supposed to really be relative to the mineral head. I'd assume it's rock, maybe? But it looks a bit too smooth for that. I think I would've liked to see the body be a warm brown and maybe a bit more jagged, with the middle part being more of a light blue instead of a gray. The color does connect back to the purple-ish pink of Glimmora though, so it has that much going for it.

Glimmora somehow gets even weirder. The bulb-like body is gone, but it now has crystalline "petals" that it can fold up and then unfold, making it look all the more plant-like despite it being a rock. It also can shoot lasers from its face, because of course it can.

Visually, I like it better than Glimmet; I think the blues are much more striking and letting them take up more of the design was a good call. The head is now more of a slate blue and the body has neon aqua accents, with some complimentary purplish-pink on the inside "petals". It creates a unique palette and makes it stick out a lot more than Glimmet, which looks washed-out in comparison.

When opened, I also like that the "petals" have a streaked look to them and the ends are pixelated and jagged; a good reminder that this isn't a plant, even if it looks vaguely like one. I also like how it has three rows of petals divided by color, which gives it a lot of visual interest without it looking too cluttered. Overall, it's a weird line that's not going to appeal to everyone, but it's definitely unique and nicely designed as a whole.

Also side note: This note about their petals resembling Tera Crystals along with them being based off a crystal/mineral seems like it should have some kind of lore importance. I would hope they'd return to this idea and expand on it in the DLC, but somehow I doubt it.

Side side note: Star shaped with multiple layers? Face with no mouth directly in the middle of the body? Simple design? Cool hues? Ambiguous lore behind them? This could totally pass for a convergent Starmie.

Trigun Stampede episode 4 liveblog!

I had a bit of a double take at “plant-based meat”.  Come to think of it, are there any actual plants on this planet? Or are they talking about eating the irreplaceable technology that sustains them...?

Welp, there’s Wolfwood.  Wearing that big old gun cross.  Thing.

lmao that’s not a very dignified first look at the guy

Interesting that there’s only seven cities when they seem to be named after calendar months.

Actually huh. I wonder how big this world is anyway.  It feels like it should be pretty small, especially with the number of cities, but I have no idea how big those cities could be.

Those are worms?????

Also another kinda bacteria-looking thing after the bombs, huh.

NEVERMIND WHAT I SAID ABOUT THAT BEING AN UNDIGNIFIED FIRST LOOK. guy just went flying :0c

and now he’s just flopping around in the backseat.  fantastic. no notes.

Plant... outpost? wonder what this is.

Wait Wolfwood is like. actually religious? I kinda thought it was just symbolism.  I can’t believe he’s actually religious and lugging around a big cross on his back.  I can’t tell if that’s delusions of self-importance or just... dweebery.

...drinking from what may or may not be holy water.  My guy. I understand resources are low.

Oh it keeps going.

...I do not believe this man is ordained.

Okay “undertaker”... may check out more?? I have no idea what they might be expected to know in a historical or modern day setting, let alone space-fantasy. I wouldn’t expect them to have access to holy water though?

Actually wait I need to google the difference between undertaker and gravedigger.

Nevermind, they probably do! Alright then. 

okay all that aside - what is happening with the background music here??? It’s unexpectedly unsettling, kind of.

Okay I switched audio languages briefly to see if the additional religious allusions in like every line from Wolfwood was also reflected in the Eng dub (even more blatant actually) and got hit with “You did get hit by big-ass truck, after all,” which was unexpected enough to make me stop and laugh out loud.

Speaking of which I was kind of expecting them to gloss over that given the cartoony nature of that whole sequence, but huh.

ah jeez what now

...we’re going Dune now?? Alright, okay.

the bug things are also Worms?

“detached electrons” I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. That sounds like it’d cause chemical reactions, which doesn’t look to be the case?

“tool of the trade” as a gun or as a reusable grave marker?

oookay eating the weird glowy bug alive and raw. I mean I guess if they’re Worms, we know they’re edible like that, but uh.  yikes.

assassins that control Worms, huh. that sounds like a lost technology thing, presumably

“I can see it in his eyes” yeah yeah okay lay it on a little thicker oh my god

Roberto vanished while they were having a moment! I’m honestly sure if that was an intentional comedy moment lol

okay my prediction is either another bug or a more worm-looking Worm

there is also like barely any liquid, there is no way digestion is happening that fast

OH LMAO is that what’s been happening!? They’ve just been getting launched??

Okay nvm that doesn’t make much sense and also they’d be less likely to survive it than these two I guess

Ooh I really want to see the Worm’s whole design

I guess that makes sense that is an incredibly acrobatic child.

okay yeah that looks like it’d cause rapid digestion

oh yuck the floor

the cross gun has a fucking skull on it. I don’t have words.

it’s a machine gun

oooh that is a really cool creature design!

so like.  is the kid also a Worm or do they just have some sort of power/technological control over them?

it’s a machine gun that also shoots lazers

it also decently high-tech, but still not entirely sure where it falls in terms of technology type

side note, the consistent mild back-and-forth between Meryl and Wolfwood is great

and now the thing about deserving to eat is linked back to the deserving to cry thing from last episode. great. fantastic. ow.

come to think of it, why are they still travelling with Vash?  just cause they got lumped with him after the last episode, or after more info...?

okay I honestly expected the kid and Wolfwood to actually be two different factions. It makes sense but now I want to know if there are more groups out there.

hold up. narration??

okay. red glowing tubes with characters I can’t read.  that’s not an aesthetic that we’ve seen in this show yet I think?

“the gate that allows access to the higher dimension.” the WHAT

I guess this has to be the ‘Gate’ Knives mentioned last episode, but also higher dimension, what

“his morality and ethics are acting as a defensive measure” ???

oh wait no it is Knives’ group. huh.

those look like plants in the background, but all of them are red.  was it the blue one that was having trouble, then? I assumed blue = alive and red = dead, but that may not be the case.  they’re also markedly smaller than the ones in the town.

“more human than anyone” uhhhhhh not sure I agree with that on principle, but I get what they’re saying. sure, I guess.

lmao wolverine claws

End notes:

Hmm, not sure where to start! First off, I think pacing/tonal issues were more or less entirely absent from this episode! nice.

I think that’s our entire party assembled, aside from Millie, who as I understand it is less of a key figure in TriStamp so far, but not so in other versions?? Anyway.  Nice!  I think they did a good job of establishing the dynamics between the different characters.

I guess the main thing to really speculate on is the Gate thing.  So far seems like simultaneously a physiological thing and a psychological thing. He’s had it for a while, but can’t control it (isn’t aware of it?), but it’s a way to access a higher dimension, but it’s also affected by his state of mind.

Not much by way of explaining the key antagonists or their goals, other than now we have... I guess half a goal? Maybe a step in the process.

Step 1: Collect Plants

Step 2: Utilize Vash’s Gate, allowing access to a higher dimension

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit      

hiii im here for the ask game :) could you maybe do star crossed lovers with minghao? 🥰

oooh :0c heads up for alcohol mentions n some violence too

ok technically. im cheating bc ive had this au in my drafts for a while. hades//town au where hao is eurydice and reader is orpheus. important note is that its less obc orpheus and more live album hopeless romantic orpheus. hao is highly guarded towards others, while reader is a hopeless romantic child of a muse who's a little overly confident in their abilities. hao at first distrusts you (he's seen other people who take a smile, a compliment, and assume it means he's easy) but slowly begins to fall for you as he realizes 1. you aren't that kind of person and 2. you seem to genuinely want to change things. at first he thinks you're naive, but... he can't deny wishing things would change, too, deep down. he admires your confidence.

the two of you get married pretty fast and enjoy the spring and summer, falling more in love with each day. the goddess of spring is there and plenty of nights you fall asleep, drunk and happy with your lover by your side. and its too early when she leaves again, the train coming with her husband stepping off. she leaves, and the life in the world leaves with her. you go back to working on your song again, more dedicated to it than before while hao keeps the two of you afloat. eventually you stop answering him, and he decides he has to save himself by going to hades and finding employment there. i think he regrets it soon after he realizes he's losing himself in doing so.

you finish the song and go to show him, only to discover he left. so you, with directions from your friend and mentor, follow the path to the underworld to get him back. ultimately: you do, although not without new bruises and blood spilled as you realize that hao left you willingly (but you forgive him when he cries to you). you impress the king of the underworld with a song that reminds him of his own love, and he gives you one chance to leave with hao. you walk ahead of him, and you can't turn back. its a test of trust. but the underworld is draining, and the farther you go, the less you can hear him behind you. the more you remember that he left you once, he could do it again. was your love not enough? did hao have so little faith in you? doubt comes in, and you step into the last rays of winter sunlight with silence behind you.

and when you turn, minghao is right there, wide-eyed and afraid at seeing your face. "you're early," he says quietly.

and you start to cry. "i missed you."

and then he fades away, right outside of your reach.

WOBBLEDOG DUMP WOOOO

I decided I wanted to share a bunch of my Wobbledogs for people to import (or even just gaze upon) so I am

Feel free to show me dogs descended from them!!! Actual post under the cut because it's long

This is Cabbage Stem, one of my favorites. His snout is extremely floppy so he might prove useful if you're aiming for dogs like that

His code is b6:2AcE:^cCEFD:a0883b91F0^1C^a3B10F0Ce:138F0a553E9a5B;ECFE6a2F2:mCFtBA69042BFFB125FC0c^FB1FB72=01mEc;56=C:7FBc35FC3^002Fbb32b;th06=Bbb1;=:ac0E8:89C:20F4:9FE::7B31F6=^F5788bAD6^FD^Fa;.a1FF03F^b3FF58FbFF6DT:a:F;g4658LU.1^00121D1621AF=^11b:7Fb31e 5SCCe2b70ca2E4AbB18FF4c8c88D31449CcD4264AC1:BCF12F57183C0DA3FA70E4:a82F

Upstate NY anon- you make a good point! Aesthetics are one thing, but a vehicle is a tool, and safety is damn more important. As much as I like the flat faces of the Isuzu trucks (pretty sure that’s the brand) & they feel safer to be on the road with compared to those fuckoff large vanity pickups, it doesn’t matter if they’re both bad at seeing pedestrians.

Tbh that brings up another Q- have you ever thought of designing your ideal car? :0c

ohhh see i thought you were talking about the vanity pickups haha, yeah those are the ones i take issue with. if the ones you’re talking about aren’t like dangerously big i don’t mind as much

not since i was a little kid! nowadays i think more about how i would modify existing cars. i should try my hand at designing something, just for fun!

Hihihi Lemon Drop!!! Hope you're having a lovely day 💛💛💛 Answerer's choice Sora Kingdomhearts or Joshua Kiryu Twewy for the ask game mayhaps??? :0c

hihi happi!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm having a pretty good day, thank you!! and! as u comand <3333333

Sora:

Sexuality Headcanon: bi!! and aromantic sometimes when the moment strikes. he is just a little guy who loves his friends oh so much <3333

Gender Headcanon: transmasc! he can contain so much transmasc swag its unreal. also every kh character is trans because i say so thank you for your time

A ship I have with said character: sorikai is soooo cute. who doesn't love childhood friends to lovers, especially when they all have two hands <33

A BROTP I have with said character: i need him and vanitas to be friends somehow so badly you don't understand. but of the actual relationships he has already him and roxas are so Important to me it's not even funny

A NOTP I have with said character: i'm gonna be real i just don't really get the princess ships. that or like him with any of the wayfinder trio. or just anyone who knew him as small kid when they were grown up.

A random headcanon: i think sora was the first of the island kids to learn how to swim but pretended to not be able to until riku and kairi could as well. he didn't want to swim until they could all swim together.

General Opinion over said character: I LOVE HIMMMM. he's so silly and kind and loveely. i am holding him in the palm of my hand and showing him off to everyone like a cool bug. i am feeding him little treats .i am forcing him to stop sacrificing himself for once in his life

Joshua:

Sexuality Headcanon: look at him. that's a homosexual. a very annoying one in a boring outfit but a Homosexual nonetheless. however. specifically he's homoromantic asexual. to me.

Gender Headcanon: trans man who gets just a little spicy with it (he/they/it in general but He/Him when he's feeling Annoying and she/her on the occasions he feels like it)

A ship I have with said character: i'm BORING okay <- joshneku. however joshbeat is also very funny to me i am smashing them together like barbie dolls.

A BROTP I have with said character: i think josh and shiki would be an incredible duo if they do not kill each other in the first 20 minutes. rather, if she does not kill him. again. also this is probably just dream drop distance talking but joshua and rhyme's dynamic can be SO.

A NOTP I have with said character: i suppose i'm not the biggest enjoyer of him and haz, but honestly i don't really care that much.

A random headcanon: ok this is a pretty common one but that boy definitely killed himself. most dramatically ironic if he did it from falling or a gun but no matter what that boy died by his own hand before he tried doing it again through neku

General Opinion over said character: i hate his ass so much. if anyone insults him theyre right but they are also so so so wrong. no one understands him like i do. i don't understand him either. i would punch him immediately if given the chance. someone needs to drag his ass to therapy yesterday. he's (probably) my favourite twewy character. i hate his stupid gay ass.

ah, fair enough!! space is important too,

what other things do you do aside from helping others out and your work? :0c time for yourself is always good as well!

AA: ฅ✿ฅ I like to go for a swim! AA: ฅ✿ฅ I like hanging out with Elraik and Ghalen! AA: ฅ✿ฅ I also have a study group I go to!

AA: ฅ✿ฅ The local maid/butler cafe is pretty fun to go to once in a while too! AA: ฅ✿ฅ Though I think most people go for the crazy good pastries and desserts!

I don’t think I’ve seen you post much about Stella :0c

Tell us about her!!

waah okey!! :D

stella is the main antagonist of the story fafnir and yumi (or the ephie / jiho / kaguya trio, if you're more familiar with them) are from! she's a demon princess who's entire goal is to eradicate humans — and any one else that isn't a demon, too, but mainly humans, since they're the ones that condemned her race in the first place.

she's... a little self important and full of herself, as well as being pretty vengeful and spiteful — but it's hard not to be when you've been told from the time you were born that you will — no, you have to — get revenge for your ancestors and had stories of your peoples' slaughter told to you in place of fairytales. she's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, even if that means using an unsuspecting person — a glorified child — as a makeshift harbinger that he never wanted to be.

does she like doing it? nobody knows — she won't let anyone see behind the curtain long enough to figure it out.

M I S C H for Trixie? :0c

M ─ Masturbation. Do they engage in it ?  Together or alone ?  Do they enjoy watching their partner masturbating ?  Do they use any toys, or just their hands ?

He might! Like, hes more for the romance of relationships but he could always get down and dirty with it! Hands are fine, toys are a risk of getting stuck and thats embarrassing.

I ─ Infidelity. Has any of them ever cheated on their partner ?  Whom have they cheated with ?  If not, is it something they could do ?  If yes, have they told them or has the other found out ?  Could they forgive and forget ? 

Sorry to be crude but Trixie would rather kill himself over cheating, and if he got cheated on he'd just be so sad like 'i put so much effort into this... and you do this?' he can 'forgive' some whatbut he will never forget and or trust like he used to.

S ─ Spanking. Is this one of their kinks ?  If yes, who’s the spanker and who’s the spankee ?  Any favourite positions ?  Do they use just the hand or any other spanking implements  ( like the paddle, belt, whip, hairbrush, etc… ) ?

Not one of his kinks tbh hes pretty vanilla!

C ─ Condoms. Do they use them ?  Do they have a preference ( color, flavour, etc… ) ? Have they ever had an accident ?  Would they continue anyway, if they’ve forgotten/run out of them ?

He'd want to have them at first because protection is important, and his fav color is obviously red. :)

H ─ Humour. Are they the kind to share a laugh during sex ?  Has something funny already happened to them ( breaking the bed, one of them falling off the couch, funny noises, etc… ) ?

He wouldn't mind a good laugh after some good sex! like Falling off the couch is Hilarious! frfr

Planescape: Torment - Cheats

💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Hints and Tips for: Planescape - Torment. Planescape - Torment Cheats. Planescape - Torment Cheat Codes: There are more movies, you only see them when a high-level spell is being cast. To see them add in torment. You go south of the Mortuary and go to the Smoldering Corpse Bar. In there, go right and talk to a Dustman. She is actually a fake. If you answer her in this order: answers 1, 1, 1 and then 1 or 2 depending if you want 50 copper or 75 and then finishing the conversation. I found out you could do this as many times as you want. You may need to start a quest given to you by a Dustman at their bar west of the Mortuary first regarding a fake Dustman. Free EXP: You must be a sensate for this code. In the private sensorium activate the green stone where you talk to Ravel make sure youve already talked to her once then activate it again and answer in this order 1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,2,1 for xp repeat as necessary. Get good spells for free early in the game: Go to the inn Dorm at the Sensate place in the clerks ward. Save your game and try to steal from the lady who gives you a room until you get a key. Go into the eastern room and search the cabinets on the north wall. There are also several charms that may come in handy later in the game. Becoming a Godsman and getting the best axe: Talk to the Auctioneer outside the market in the lower ward. Perform the tasks he will ask you to do. The second task will be to deliver a message to a Godsman, therefore granting you passage to the northern gate in the lower ward. You will eventually meet a man in a room surrounded by other people. Ask him about becoming a Godsman. He will tell you to forge a weapon in the foundry, the first room you saw when you entered the place. Get the items you need from the clerk in the southwest part of the room. Ask Thildin, the muscular man, for some ore. Then, find the only empty barrel and make the weapon of your choice. Report back to the man that told you how to forge the weapon. Next, there will be a murder. You only need to know where the people are -- you already know where Thildon is; the man whose name starts with "S" is in the same room as man that told you how to forge the weapon, and the other is on the balcony just above him. Talk to Thildon one more time and report back to the man that told you how to forge the weapon. Just convince the man in the locked quarters to live. Be nice to him. You now are a Godsman and have access to the best axe in the game for GP. See Fell: If you are stuck, need an extra boost of strength, dexterity, constitution or other attribute, or want something but do not know how to get it, see Fell the tattoo man. Experience in Sensate Emporium: In the Sensate emporium the private sensory stones , keep going to Ravel's stone and nodding until you have to speak. You will gain experience points every time. Then, just end the experience. Sometimes the outcome can be more dangerous or important to your adventure than many combat situations, so you may want to take a second shot if you don't like the result. Sometimes there are clues that can help you out if you're stuck. Or you can always try asking one of your party members to point you in the right direction. But don't be surprised if, in certain situations, avoiding combat has a bigger payoff. Doing this prevents your characters from chasing an enemy off the screen. If you haven't found a corresponding weapons tutor to learn how to use the weapon, it will carry penalties with it. Hex Cheat: Submitted by nightraider This will show how to modify any of your character's stats. It's actually pretty simple. Example: 18 30 15 15 17 12 9. Once you have written them down, convert each one into HEX. You can use windows calculator in scientific mode to do this. Enter the value in to the calculator and click the Hex radio button to see the value in hex. Here are the above values in hex: 12 1E 0F 0F 11 0C Once you have them converted, using your hex editor search for the above numbers in the torment. Enter in the search like so no spaces : E0F0FC Once you have found these values you can change them as you like. You can use the your windows calculator the calculate the stats you want to hex and replace them as you like. Best ending: "Planescape: Torment" has two endings. The first one is the most common one, it occurs if you choose to fight the final boss. However, you can also convince him to merge with you. This will bring you to another, better ending better because all your friends will be resurrected and they all will have to say something to you. There are three ways to convince the final boss to merge with you. Two ways depend on your stats: you'll have to have over 24 in either wisdom or charisma. Then, carefully following the correct dialogues path, you'll be able to convince him. Another way is to have the sword Blade of the Immortal. If you threaten him to kill yourself with this blade and to end your and his existence, he will also merge with you. Defeating The Transcendent One: To easily defeat The Transcendant One, you need not go through extensive class training and retraining. Just get the Blade Of The Immortal. Find the man working at the forge. Ask him how the Lower Ward got its name. As you keep choosing the topmost conversation selection, he should tell you of a portal by the Siege Engine. After more conversation, he will tell you the key to open it. Then, go to the Siege Engine that has the bridge you can walk on. As you walk on the bridge, a dialogue box should appear. Choose the first option and a portal will open. Enter the portal. As you enter it, you will be warped in the Siege Engine. Look around until you find something called Coaxmetal. Talk to him and you will eventually get to ask him "Can you make a weapon that can kill an immortal? He will say that he needs a drop of your blood. After this, go to the Fortress Of Regrets with the blade in your inventory. When you confront The Transcendant One, ask him most of the questions you desire, but do not tell him to revive your fallen comrades. After you have extracted all you want to know from him, choose only the first dialogue option. Eventually, he will agree to merging with you. You will revive your allies and you will be damned to Hell. Easy experience: You need at least 50 gp to do this, but the money will not be spent. Go to Yellow Fingers in Ragpickers Square and let him pickpocket you. Observe him first, to claim experience and pickpocket skill points. After that, ask him what he is doing. Say that you will give him money, and give him 50 gp. End the conversation. To repeat the glitch, talk to Yellow- Fingers and do it again. The zombie will ignore you, saying that he is busy. You will get gp and experience points each time. Easy experience: When in the prison below Curst, which is accessed through the entrance in the Outer Curst dump, talk to Trias the Deva after you get Celestial Fire which can be found in the middle of the prison. He will ask you to free him with Celestial Fire. Select the "Leave" dialogue option option 3. Go back again and talk to him. He will say "Do you have another question mortal? You should gain , experience points. Talk to him again and select dialogue option 2 "Ah well, farewell". Then, talk to him again and repeat the first sequence 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1. Each time you complete the sequence, you will get the , experience. Use the quick-save after getting the experience in the event that you select the wrong dialogue option, in which case reload the game. Submit your codes!

Rules Reminder!

For personal blogs ( and for everyone really ) !

- Don’t reblog my headcanons! Or any of the stuff I write here ( you know like threads you’re not included in, OOC posts, jokes / crack posts, etc., but especially not my headcanons! ). I didn’t mention it before because: a ) Never really thought anyone would want to reblog my rants; and, b ) I thought it was basic stuff for rp blogs. But, much to my surprise, it’s happening and I don’t like it. I don’t mean this in an ill-spirited manner because it’s very flattering to see others agree with the bullshit I throw here at 2am but... the reason why I don’t like it when others reblog my headcanons is that: a ) It messes up my notifications, that I use to keep track of threads and other stuff here. This is very important to me because this is an rp blog! b ) It brings me unwanted attention because not everyone that reads my headcanons are gonna like or agree with them ( which is fine! ). And sometimes some of them can be pretty mean when expressing their distaste or ask for proofs, evidence, sources, etc. to back up the stuff I’ve written and, honestly... ( I’m too old for that stuff ) I’m not here to make a statement or start debates, I just want to mind my own business, roleplay and have fun! 

I don’t want to block anybody if possible so I would be really grateful if personal blogs stopped reblogging my headcanons ;0c

For other rp blogs!

- Don’t use me as a source for memes / musings / aesthetic ( please? ) I usually don’t mind it but it’s been happening so much lately that it’s become hard to ignore. Especially when it’s a day after day thing. It doesn’t take much time or effort to reblog something from the source. And, let’s be honest, no one likes it when another blog uses you as an aesthetic, memes, whatever source. Especially not when the other person has little to no interest to rp with you.

- If you want to turn an ask into a thread, do it on a new post! More than the #aesthetic, I don’t like it when threads stay on an ask because it becomes too confusing for me ( please understand that I’ve one brain cell! ) and it can turn very long. I’m sorry but I won’t reply to threads that are continued on the same ask.

- Don’t spam me! For spam, I mean doing things like replying IC in all of the IC and OOC things I post here, constantly sending me reminders or sending IC posts about the same thing over and over again. It feels very guilt-trippy for me and instead of making me want to rp with you more or reply faster to a thread I’m owning, it just causes the opposite. Please don’t do that.

Other important stuff!

- I headcanon my muse as TRANS ( FTM ). Alright, so this isn’t exactly a rule(?), but it’s an important part of my portrayal. And it’s nothing new. It’s a headcanon that I’ve had since I first got into fate ( so don’t ask me to change it??? I don’t know why I’m asked that... ) and it’s been written at the top of my rules page since day one ( 1 ). ‘Why do you headcanon Proto Cú as trans?’ So I already mentioned here that I believe that Cú Chulainn was highly trans-coded in his myth due to how he’s described and how different events in his life happened. BUT I would love it if people stopped asking me for my arguments on this matter because it feels really odd to be asked for 'valid evidence’ for that headcanon ( n.n’ ) I mean... I never see anyone asking for the same stuff to muns of cisgender muses or cisswapped muses so I can’t help it but feel a bit weirded out when I’m asked for these ‘proofs’.

* BTW, if you didn’t know until now that I headcanon Proto Cú as trans, I would prefer it if you don’t act surprised nor reply to this post with things like ‘I didn’t know!!!′ because like I’ve written in the paragraph above, it’s been written in my rules page since day one ( 1 ). So if you’re only aware of it now, it will most likely mean that you didn’t read my rules page, which is kind of not cool dude... And as someone who always reads other rp blogs rules + about page before pressing that +follow button... I don’t know, it feels bad man.

- Please don’t send me very insensitive jokes / asks / etc. !*** I don’t mind it when other muses are huge assholes to mine, I actually think it’s really fun and love it! And I love writing Cú getting feisty or coming up with a witty remark! But I think that the line between having your muse act like a disrespectful little shit and the kind of comments that would get you punched in the face if you ever were to say stuff like that out loud is very defined. This is not a rule and I’m not saying your muse can’t throw the problematicTM stuff at mine. But just wanted to let others know that, one, my muse will act accordingly, two, I’ve got no intention of holding him back, but, three, those types of asks / replies get tiring and boring real fast so it’s unlikely I’ll reply to them.

Thank you for reading!

I have a theory as to why we got sent back in time but didn't get sent back home. It has to do with how the space time rift formed. It is my belief that the Creation Squad(Arceus, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina) exist outside time space and thus are not bound by any form of linear time progression.

Giratina was approached and coaxed by Volo to help him. Giratina knew the best way to create a space time rift is eliminating a very important person. And they likely knew that the protag of DPPt had an ancestor long ago, also quite talented at catching Pokemon. And then killed them. Arceus then has to bring that very trainer back in time in order to create a stable time loop. So they can be born in the future. That's my theory anyway.

OOOH That’s an interesting theory! :0c

It does seem to be somewhat implied that whoever is sent to another dimension isn’t able to go back (according to what we’ve seen so far with the fallers and most of the Ultra Beasts) so it’s pretty interesting that the protag kinda starts their own legacy by being sent to the past.

Shima have you watched all the bnha movies and if so what is ur rating on each one

I have!! :0c

Two Heroes: Solid 8/10. I'm probably a bit biased on my opinion of Two Heroes bc it's the movie I've seen the most out of the three (and I even wrote a fic about it fmkaldsa), but how can I not like it when it has Melissa best girl, All Might and Dave friendship (and possibly something...more? 👀), and Epic Dad Might Moments? AND all the kids in fancy party outfits that they later have to fight in *chef's kiss* I love love love the support side of heroics so getting to see all of Dave and Melissa's support items was super exciting 😭 Also I think this movie is the only time we ever get to see Izuku and Toshi fight together and that's Very Important to me

Heroes Rising: 6/10 I'd rate this one higher but I've only seen this one twice lmao I need to watch it again soon. Katsuma and Mahoro are SO freaking cute and I love that each of them latch onto Izuku and Bakugou respectively. Really this is a movie for Bakudeku stans, both of them get a lot of time in the spotlight. A big chunk of the movie is fighting/action sequences so that's probably another reason why I'd rate it lower? If over half the movie is taken over by fight scenes then it gets pretty repetitive after a while lmao. BUT the animation is so insane, it's crazy good, some of the Class 1-A kids get to shine which I appreciate, and Todoroki does a fantastic cartwheel flip that I can't get out of my mind ever.

World Heroes Mission: 9/10 I can't give it a perfect score bc there's no such thing as a perfect movie (HTTYD excluded) but GODDDD this one is definitely my favorite. Rody is such a charming character and he brings out a snarky side to Izuku we rarely get to see. For once Todoroki actually gets a bigger part in a BNHA movie which makes me giddy because I adore him (and Bakugou actually takes a backseat to Todo in this one which is hilarious??) also sorry gotta say it THE TODODEKU MOMENTS..........👌 I really like that they gave Rody a chance to shine and be a hero too despite the fact that he doesn't have a hero's quirk. And even tho we only got it for the opening scene, their black hero outfits 😳 I really hope they bring them back in the future!

Honestly they're all good lmao like it's really hard to go wrong with any of them! Don't take my word for it tho I've never been a super harsh movie critic, but generally everyone seems to like the movies haha

I wanna know more about Hels!Skizz in that image where he’s saying “that was it? That was my second chance?” :0c

Okay so that image takes place in Hels Last Life!! Why Hels LL exists isn’t the most important atm, but what is important is it brought Helskizz back from the dead.

For context: After Indulge died when Helskizz was at the peak of his fame, he never aired the finale of his show and pretty much went into a mental rut for ten years. The Stalkers didn’t really bother to help him either, especially when he failed to reboot the show with a new victim( aka Nonsense, or Hels!Logic)  and couldn’t even. Bring himself to hurt them.

Eventually, Hels 3L was made by Koray, Sidas, and Isel to give Limbo a home where he could be safe. It’s a frozen biome, like the cold icey wastelands of the Hels!Nether. Somehow, the world got leaked, and multiple people ended up there. 

Helskizz being one of those. He was informed that Indulge was there, that Indulge wasn’t dead still. He’d seen a news clipping about a new Helsmit that looked a lot like Indulge but…Indulge was dead.

So Helskizz goes to Hels!3L and he meets Limbo while there, n he realizes Limbo doesn’t like Indulge. So he takes him in and Indulge eventually finds out and he does not like that. Because despite everything he’d done to Limbo, Indulge cared about him to an extent, and didn’t want Helskizz hurting him.

So Indulge manages to kill Helskizz, and for the first time in either of their lives, Helskizz sees Indulge as an equal. Giving him a small shred of respect for his kill, before dying.

Helskizz returns to his solo world upon waking up after death, and is promptly scolded by the Stalkers. He is punished, having crystals break through his arms, spine, and head. He’s turned from a hunter into the hunted. From predator to prey.

He was supposed to die this way.

However, he lived. When Hels Last Life started and brought all the original members back, Helskizz came with it and was alive again. And he knew he wasn’t normal anymore. He was prey now…

He found Indulge after a small bit, and after screaming at him about what he’d done, decided to. Work with him. They formed a shaky alliance that later down the line Helskizz tried to betray.

They’d run into Koray, who is a Stalker himself, and Helskizz recognized this and tried to beg him to let him leave this world with Indulge in tow. Koray basically breaks it to Helskizz that he’s dead, which makes Helskizz realize Hels 3L had been his second chance. That had been his second chance to get the Stalkers’ approval and he’d failed…

Now he was stuck like this.

What’s up nerds, guess who was out cold when TOH S2 was announced???? Anyways,

We’ve got a brief analysis/reaction of this new intro which is excellent

Okay SO

We’ve got The Eye. Clearly an indication of the eye on the portal door. Who is this creature? What magic do they posses to allow this to happen?

My Brilliant Baby Luz Noceda - still wearing the cape Eda made for her and looking to be more confident than ever with her magic!!! I’m so proud of her <333

My WIFE HAS RETURNED!!!!!! And she’s stepping through a portal of some sort???? Has she discovered a way to use Owlbert’s magic to create a new portal back to the human realm? Or just teleportation within the demon realm? :0c

MY DAUGHTER WILLOW IS BACK AND AS POWERFUL AND ADORABLE AS EVER!! I love her so much yall

My Son Boy Gus is also back and as powerful and adorable as ever, possibly even more so with this book in hand? What’s this book? He’s never needed that before 🤔🤔🤔

Ah yes, the fandom favorite and my adopted daughter (she doesn’t belong to the fandom anymore, she’s mine to just be a normal character and not the blank canvas everyone projects on to). She’s back and looking as Badass as ever; I VERY much appreciated her sort of ballet twirl entrance in this intro scene, very lovely and exudes a certain type of refinement and poise before dropping her hands with magic and this FIERCE look that I love.

And FINALLY the plot-heavy stuff, oh man there’s so much to pick apart here:

So we have the Heads of the Covens along the top border which means after a whole season of being hinted at, we’re finally going to learn more about them. Hopefully Lilith’s role as Ex-Head of the Emperor’s Coven will play a part in that?

And speaking of Lilith - what the fuck is she doing acting like a fucking antagonist???? Hasn’t she done enough???? Can she not just be remorseful of her actions and try to make up a lifetime of bullshit mistakes to her dying sister?

We’ve also got our spy with a staff that looks very similar to Belos’ staff? That is to say, no palisman and a wing coming off of the top. And also Kikimora looking??? Oddly adorable????

And then of course the Owl House in the left corner and the Emperor’s Castle in the right corner, obviously two main points of interest for this season - hopefully we’ll be learning more about the Day of Unity and why it’s so important.

Ahhh yes, this is the Lilith I wanted to see. Fucking homeless and ashamed, disgraced, possibly listening to My Chemical Romance just based on her hand gestures lmao.

We’ve got one of Dana’s supposed favorite characters as the new Spy removing their mask which is interesting! 🤔 I wonder what role they’ll end up playing in regards to the Owl House.

And then Kikimora looking fucking terrifying!! Which is always a great twist on cute characters. I mean her design was pretty terrifying to begin with but now we get to see it in action which is going to be cool as hell.

I’m so excited for season 2 and I’m SO HYPE FOR SEASON 3!!!!!!! The story this show has started crafting I know couldn’t be wrapped up in just one more season, but it’s such a relief to know that they’ve been greenlit for a 3rd to really make sure they get all the loose ends tied up as neatly as possible. I’ll probably go over the revealed episode titles and descriptions in another post, but hot damn yall!!! We in it!!!!!
