do you think the birth families of the jedi mourned when they heard the news about order 66. do you think they worried and that they weeped when the clone wars began and they heard that their children were going off to fight in it. do you think they looked at their calendars and kept track of how old their children had become every birthday. do you think they knew that their child was only 10 when they were murdered during order 66. do you think any jedi went out to find their birth parents after losing the only family they really knew. do you think any families sheltered other escaping jedi, knowing what likely happened to their own. do you think the families cried. do you think they mourned. do you think, even though they hadn't seen their children in years... they still weeped?

Okay so if you are on tiktok you probably seen atleast one comment with this "Zepotha" trend and i've seen people call it the next Goncharov.

I have followed the artist on tiktok before this, and i think the music is very cool, and if i'm being honest this is would be very interesting marketing, if it had a cohesive lore. (And the fact that the artist basically asking for free marketing, and only paying 500 dollars is a little bit meh...) When Goncharov was around at first I really thought it was a real movie, but Zepotha just doesn't feel like it. It is on my fyp soo i will try to gather information on the lore, because it could be verry interesting.

So here are the things i gathered:

- It is marketing for an artist called emilyjeffri (just crediting)

- It does not have a consistent genra (dont know how you write it) but the og creator promotes it as 80's slasher (ive seen distopyan horror and eldritch horror to it. This is why its a problem that it doesnt have a consistent lore)

- The characters that the artist seams to accept as canon are from a filter and a comment (i know not much, but the artist just thrusted people of making oc's and i can't list all of them, and i am still doing research on the charas that are accepted by the fandom), and give a brief description from what i gathered:

Danny and Cole: seams like thay are the main murderers,

Rita: the first? One to die,

Maxine and Alain: probs the main charas, they are the main ship or are a couple.

These are the charas that i found anything on, next are the ones from the filter or a comment left by the OGC

Ann

Vince

Alex

Michael

Robbie

Neil

Kalani

Jasmine

But wait it gets better. Somebody saing that MAXINE AND ALAIN ARE SISTERS AND THEY ARE DATING DANNY AND COLE. I'M GETTING AN ANEURYSM (This is not a real movie its a massive joke, no hate to anybody, but i want to make sense to it. Pls send help)

Okay i'm having way too much fun with this

"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

New Idea

I read not so long ago @clonewarslover55 's writing about Irmenu (link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29337705) and I got an idea. What if there were merfolk/siren-like species, who were indigenous to Irmenu but now their numbers have gone lower.

And what if Walon Vau's mother was one of this species, and fell in love with his father, but when she realized how fucked up his father was it was already too late. She got separated from her community, and they feared the church would find their tribe.

Basically, Walon Vau mermaid au and he helps overthrow the government

And the pirates sometimes help the merfolk/siren out, because fuck the church.

I have planned out many things (the merfolk/siren aren't actually called that, just I have info dumped many things in this post, but I will reread all the notes I made and post them). And I have ideas for the story

And read @clonewarslover55 's stuff. She writes great things!!

Sorry if this question is kind of vague but how do you choose a canvas size? The way people talk about canvas sizes in tutorials for pixel has always left me confused.

it basically depends on what you're trying to do. for my portraits i stay small around 100x100 - 150x150. the reason i do that is because i like the way i can stylize the features and keep everything else in proportion.

if you're doing an animated character you would probably want the canvas smaller (if its for a game). if i'm doing a full scene then usually somewhere around 200x200 - 300x300.

for my full landscapes i set my canvas at 1920x1080 in aseprite, then divide it by 5 (you can do maths in aseprite- pretty cool). that way my canvas blows up x5 to a desktop wallpaper size. that's my preference, you might prefer x3 or x6.

thats why knowing what you're doing makes it a bit easier. i would just ask yourself 'how much space do i need for my important features' and use that as a base- dont be afraid to just make the canvas bigger if you need to. i never stick to any standard canvas size or palette and just change things to get to my desired outcome

hope that helps :--3 !

edit: thinking about the question a bit more, it might be because people tend to recommend things like 32x32 or 64x64 or 128x128 and so on.

16x16 32x32 and 64x64 are generally quite standard for game stuff, i tend to do my tiles at 16x16 or 32x32. but if you arent working on a project they largely dont matter unless you want to practise such things. if youre interested in illustration like me (assuming you are cos youre in my inbox) it shouldnt matter to you really! just do whats comfy!

Thank you @origami10 for helping me!

No ide bro

How do you make friends here bruh

I feel like there’s needs to be, like, handbook for authors who post on Ao3 for effective metatext.

By metatext I mean like tagging, summary, and authors notes (especially initial authors notes at the beginning of a fic). The means by which we communicate to our readers what they’re getting into.

Because we kind of all have to learn it by osmosis and there are conventions but nobody’s really taught them at the start, so there’s inconsistencies and misunderstandings or people just not knowing things through no fault of their own.

This ends up breeding frustration and confusion and in the worst cases resentment, hurt, and aggression.

I’m severely tempted to make such a handbook and get it circulating.

I think it would do fandom a lot of good.
