ok now for the art that's gonna be a pain to tag. Designs for a lot of Xylos! Ft. Headcanons! In order (though it is obvious), MHO!Flex, SNO!Xylo, SCP!Xylo, OoO!Xylo, OZ!Xylo, and FO!Xylo (more info below drawing bc i wrote a lot)
Most of the xylos are actually average height (with flex being a bit shorter bc he's a teen, and oz being taller bc he's an actor and thus is probably a bit taller bc most actors are conventionally attractive) in this drawing, they just look short bc i hc FO!Xylo to be an absolute giant at like 8 feet tall bc he's a robot. I also hc him to be AroAce Agender bc he's a robot in the apocalypse, i don't think he even knows what gender and sexuality are. Also OoO!Xylo gets a tail and big ears bc i said so. Flex is A-posing bc i drew him before i decided to start posing them and then just, couldn't be bothered to re-draw him, so i didn't. This drawing is in my more sketchy style, where the sketch and lineart are one and the same with no clean-up before coloring, i use this style for a lot of my drawings where i'm just designing characters so i'm not focusing on getting details perfect and instead am focusing on getting the designs to work
Watching starlighter for the first time, reading through the opening credits.
I don’t know why seeing Xylophoney’s name surprised me so much, he’s known for doing minecraft rps, but I know him for his yugioh stuff, so I guess it was a surprise because it’s like.
“Becca? Yeah she does skins, makes sense, Draco? Sounds familiar, XYLO? Um, what are you doing here? Go back to playing cards.”
This has to be the most annoying sound to me in this game. Like it's so OBNOXIOSLY LOUD I just want to rip my ears off everytime one of my Sims uses the toilet while standing. So I said, no more! All this does is mute the sound effect. They will still use the toilet while standing when they want.
Big thanks to Smonaff. Their mod No Xylophone Sound When Peeing already muted this sound, but only that "xylophoney" one for children. I did some research on SimPe and managed to figure out how to mute it for adults aswell. So here it is, now you will never hear that freaking sound effect in any circumstance, no kids, no adults, just silent! Obviously conflicts with Smonaff's mod, because theirs is already included in mine.
Credits to Smonaff for their mod, which helped me find a way to do this one.
Special thanks to EddySims for their fantastic HQ Icon Pack I used to make the preview pic! <3
sling by clairo is just such a lay down in bed and cry until you feel your chest physically combust album. it has just the right amount of everything. grief. fear. yearning. nostalgia. deep sadness. love. hope. those overcast sunday slow xylophoney nursery rhyme tunes that pull you all the way back to grandma's. the kind of music i wish i could eat with a spoon.
honestly, i didn't think i'd end up here this time / or anywhere at all, i'm distant just enough to never fall behind / picturing the saddest scene of wearing bedsheets / and two pats on the back, "it just takes time" / it's getting late, since when did taking time take all my life?
— "Just For Today"
i pull until i'm left with the burns / blisters and the dirt left in between my fingers / rushing so i can beat the line / but what if all i want is conversation and time?
— "Bambi"
here we are, quiet at your kitchen table / with courtesy to little pet peeves / napkins on laps, strands pulled back / i hang the scarf and my mom's anorak
— "Blouse"
pulling back, i tried to find / the point of wasting precious time / i sip and toast to normalcy / a fool's way into jealousy / i mock and imitate goodbyes / when i know that i can't deny / that i'll be here forever-while / i show up to the party just to leave
— "Amoeba"
there's a claw on my shoulder, and she's saying the obvious / "you know eventually you'll have to be a provider, too"
— "Reaper"
mom, would you give me a ring? / one for the ride and one for the magazine? / "she's only twenty-two" / a flash to the upbringing of the child, the canine / what will become mine / once i decide to leave?
Ok I started watching starlighter, I’m on the beginning of episode 5 right now. It’s really good, but I do have one question
In the opening credits I keep seeing Xylophoney’s name, it’s so disorienting because.
A) I know Xylo is an MCRP youtuber but I mostly know him for his yugioh stuff so why is mister heart of the cards in the magic school.
B) I have no idea what he’s doing. I keep looking through the end credits but I don’t see his name. Why is he here.
OH MY GOD I DIDNT EXPECT YOU TO ACTUALLY WATCH STARLIGHTER?!?!?!?! YOOOOOO I HOPE YOURE ENJOYING IT SO FAR!!!
Xylo is a friend of Jakey's from when they were both in the Origins MCRP group- Jakey is cited to be a major reason he and his gf Kaykrae got together so they chill LMAO
The credits at the beginning of the episode are typically the voice actors that appear in the episode, and Xylo voices Flint in Starlighter! Thank you for the reminder we should change that so people who what's going on this was a really common question for a while of who voices who-
I'm cackling at "Mr heart of the cards in the magic school" btw I'm saving that
Another Rain World origins thing, this time made for my carrd! Rain World SNO!Xylo! He's a Rivulet bc he and Rivulet share the same energy. Silly guys with not a thought in their heads. Also background is taken directly from Rain World. I think it's the background of Outskirts? Or maybe it was from Sky Islands? I don't honestly remember LOL
