swings a pocket watch in front of you. oohhh you want to learn about afflatus. you want to understand the ecological cycle between them explained in the early stages of the game and the themes they represent. mineral and plant referring to community and groups vs beast and star referring to isolation and the individual. ohhhh you want to look into them. you want to understand the differences between how mineral refers to the solid systems and traditions and unmovable concepts that rule this world, manmade or not vs how plant refers to the everchanging adapting systems found in nature that inherently belong in this world
ohhhh yes you want to understand that the beast afflatus refers to the underdog's fight against an environment that doesnt allow space for them vs the star afflatus isolation of being singled out due to a trait or talent that sets you apart from your environment. hence why beast is weak against mineral (its an individual at disadvantage vs an entire system that works against them) and why mineral is weak against star (its the established rules and traditions vs the trailblazing genius that can topple societies. and why star is weak against plant (its the revolutionary against the rules of nature that states everything must change, you are not special for causing change) and why plant is weak against beast (its the harmony of a community being destroyed from inside by an individual seeking something for themselves)
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you want to study in-game details and analyze them to see the full picture of a character you want to understand that dikke is not a cruel judge because her incantations are attack and heal and they both have flavor text that differentiates between justice for those who need it and the abuse of power. because shes not heartless nor strictly cold, shes attempting to make a difference from inside a corrupt system.
ohhhhh you want to understand that pavia is not a broken person who is touchstarved for community because he has made himself his own community as seen with his incantations and gamemode that highlights he's much happier doing whatever the fuck he wants on his own without restraint. ohhhhhhh you want to understand the reason 37 and regulus butt heads so much is because they're two sides of the star afflatus experience, but both of them are equally as smart and equally as valid as geniuses in their own righ
o hhhhhhhhh you want to understand that afflatus refers to the experiences someone goes through and explains why they are like this as people, hence why life changing explanations can change your afflatus and this is why kakania was INTELLECT in 1.7 but she became PLANT in 1.9 in the main story oooooooooooooooooo
I keep rotating the fact that Tikki is asking for nicotine in this au. Rotating and chewing on the lengths that Marinette is going to hide this while also acquiring it.
It is gutting in a certain way how much more the actual risk changes the dynamic and responsibility of being Ladybug.
(which is interesting to contrast against Adrien who is very able to spend daddy's money on expensive cheese(s) but its a weird thing to just, have. and iirc, its smell lingers)
((and further, to contrast against the show, i am just very into the personal risk of the nicotine instead of a very convenient baked good of a normal (professional) quality and quantity (one). Im so interested to see where it continues to go!))
She eats the baked goods as well, don't worry! All kwamis want drugs in addition to the food. Plagg is lucky that he can also bug Adrien for pipe tobacco in addition to camembert, meaning Adrien smells even worse.
Swap au 1X - [ my version ]
The only programmed hate he have is towards Hackers, exploiters, banned people.
Being in forsaken with plenty of those people making him feel confused
"Why am I here?"
He was made to be Shedletsky helper bot, ai or npc.
Shedletsky kind of had confusing relationships with own creation, he seen him like a own son, yet 1x couldn't express same emotions so after a time Shed gave him more emotions that made 1x express more human things.
1x is can't recognize own creator
system that created by Builderman can't recognize Shedletsky himself bcs of how different he is in voice and appearance so 1x doesn't understand that he gets hurted by own creator he believes that Shedletsky will come for him soon
Some first art of him under
He doesn't feel pain bw
Some John Doe and 007 stuff for my ask blog ^^
crazy retheme because im making a griefer rentry right now
HELP??? griefer is so peak tho I can't blame you πΌ
she's so awesome i love her
In celebration of his 30.000 follower milestone, Japanese artist Kakage tweeted a step-by-step explanation on how he colored a recently posted picture of his favorite character Rosetta from Granblue Fantasy. By request of a friend, and with Kakageβs permission, Iβve translated the steps so they may help other artists who want to learn from his process. The PSD-file with all the individual layers is available for purchase through Kakageβs pixiv booth. For more content, visit his twitter or pixiv gallery!
(Edit: I originally posted the pictures from imgur uploads because tumblr tends to fuck up the image quality, but somehow this caused the pictures to not show up in reblogs, so I reupped them directly into tumblr. If the quality turns out bad, you can still check them on imgur)
These are links to some of the archives, lorecrafters and guidemakers that I follow and regard highly for their expertise, dedication, and contributions to the community. Making this list is also for my convenience.
If you know other sources, please share them! I will edit the post and add them here. Maybe one day I will also contribute to transcripts on a separate blog. We don't have enough of such precious records for a heavily lore and story-based game! Feel free to share your lorecrafting website/blog/channel too!
