Oh yea, I was touching on a friend's HC that I sort of want to play with. That he's much more aware of how he's being perceived.

A want to play with things like internal thoughts that we don't get to see on screen.

Or more hostility from Raktika.

I wish we'd seen more of the twin jesters. They were kind of... hmm... antagonist-adjacent too.

If you squint, Gaia for a bit.

Like... there's no way to get rid of the chin/lip paint if using the paint around his eyes. I'll have to spend more time trying to get it to blend with his skin + play with the shine/reflective bits, but overall... I'm pretty happy with how he came out.

I was just sitting there with the "am I a joke to you?" running through my head because not one of the other 5 people said a word other than confirming that there are quite a few NPC players running around on Materia.

I haven't! This was honestly one of the most robust CCs I've seen (overwhelming tbh). I should look into that because I was really happy to actually be able to adjust scar location, rotation, width and depth on him.

Apparently they exist! Girlfriend has one in Australia. I'm so jelly.

I had a post the other day where I was fantasizing about owning a large capacity all in one washer/dryer. Like... one basin. It just takes longer to dry. No more mildew clothes because I forgot my laundry.

... Damn I feel old.

Haurchefant, buddy, you're just lucky she didn't crush your skull between her thighs.

Yea, it's a once in a while purchase for me because I break into hives when I drink that specific one. So it's like "Maybe not play the mildly allergic to Pipeline game more than once in a blue moon."

We were just chatting about this the other day in the Discord and like... on one hand, some of the flavors look really good, but like who is their focus group? Who isn't already drinking monster that would be like "Ooh, yea. NOW I'll try it."

... pry Pipeline Punch out of my cold dead hands. XD

Me trying to write a straight character and somehow it always fails. I fail slightly less to write an exclusively gay character.

That might be worse.

morning when he unjammed the printer. He *read* the first page and I got my ass beat into next Tuesday.

RIP Strider fic.

Oh my god. When I was like 11-12 I was trying to print out smutfic for LOTR in the middle of the night. The printer jammed. I couldn't figure it out. Hit print a few more times. Couldn't fix the jam. Waited the rest of the night with the doom symbol above my head, knowing my dad would see it in the

He definitely feels like a "for the greater good" type character, which I really enjoy writing in the first place.

I think it gets glossed over the violation of getting yoinked to the First, especially his misses with zero guarantee that we'd ever make it home.
