padmes queen voice being artificially lowered in post to sound like the origin for Vader's low pitch and accent is crazy it makes me crazy that he was in that suit learning how to be a person again in a medical torture device & was like i guess i will mimic my dead wife's intonation she used in her stint as child queen to legitimise myself as the emperor's freaky cyborg wizard sonwife
This was my art school’s water fountain. Drink from them wolf tiddies
Assignment misunderstood. I have now built a city.
Give it a day
i think one of my personal favorite aspects of the dungeon crawler carl series is watching Carl, a cishet dude, avoid any sexual or romantic subplots with the deftness of a trained aroace.
Gideon the Ninth: Narrator who doesn’t know about Space Politics because she’s too busy thinking about boobs and swords
Murderbot: Narrator who doesn’t know about Space Politics because that’s boring human bullshit and why would it care
Dungeon Crawler Carl: Narrator who doesn’t know about Space Politics because he literally just learned about the existence of such a thing and is being drip fed information that makes very little sense
I'm on Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8 and I was pretty okay with the fact that it's a heteronormative story so long as Carl remained my disinterested king but then I was absolutely blindsided by Carl's current side-quest to reunite long lost gay lovers: the surprisingly plot relevant male stripper Dong Quixote, and Corky, one vertical half of a mantaur. happy pride month everypony.
dungeon crawler carl is fun because you go into it thinking it'll be an unserious, fun and gratuitously violent action book, and then you get to the very first boss, and then you think, now hold on. Hold on. And then all of a sudden you're seven books deep and insane and also holding on to the indomitable human spirit for dear life and also a crab has to jack off. like holy shit dude. i've got relentless hope and found family in one hand and the world's weirdest foot fetish in the other
Hi, do you have the
Just curious :3c
OF COURSE I HAVE THE MANDATE OF HEAVEN!
IT'S RIGHT HERE--

YOU. DELETE YOUR BLIG
AND YOU. EXECUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
Devon: hey Rylee let’s go to the mall!!
Rylee: ooh yay okay!! I need some new stuff for botekin.
(Later, in the underbelly of Janix)
Rylee: Devon I thought we were going to the shopping mall where are we
Devon: oh oops no. I meant we’re going to the Maul :)
Darth Maul: (appears evilly) Hello Rylee. I will teach you to play Evil Botekin
Thinking about how Maul spends so much time just trying to make friends and then being either told "no, go away" or forced to watch his new friends die. He genuinely cares about the people he's working with; he's upset when they get hurt or die, he's out here acting as a living shield between them and danger, and it always ends terribly for everyone. Like damn can he have just one good, healthy, stable friendship that actually lasts, please?
Hey, wanna make music? Yeah? Got a buncha money? No? Well that's perfectly fine, check this free stuff out:
Vital - A powerful wavetable synth, my personal favorite VST synth, very easy to figure out creating new synth sounds, with the help of the plenty of tutorials that are out there for the plug-in. (There are paid versions but they are completely unnecessary to get 99% of the features of the plug-in.)
Synth1 - A classic piece of synthesizer software.
Pendulate - An interesting, chaotic synth that you can make weird little sounds with.
Native Instruments' free plug-ins - Various cool VSTs, including the Komplete Start pack.
The Free Orchestra - A set of orchestral instruments for Kontakt Player (see previous link).
BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover - More orchestral stuff! This one has its own player so you don't have to download a separate VST to use it if you don't want to.
Magical 8bit Plug - A chiptune plug-in, intended for producing sounds like that of 8-bit systems like the NES and Master System.
Genny - A synth VST made to emulate the soundchip of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
MT Power Drum Kit - A nice rock n' roll style drum kit plug-in.
This guy's weird VST collection - 6.4 gigabytes of weird VSTs, including some you might know, like Delay Lama and MeowSynth!
sforzando - A free player for soundfont files.
Musical Artifacts - A resource I mainly use to find soundfonts, on which you can find other various things as well.
Kilohearts Essentials - 30 effect VSTs including reverb, delay, compression, pitch shifting, transient shaping, ring modulation, phase distortion, and more.
Xfer's freeware VSTs - Exactly what it says on the tin, including the one and only OTT compressor.
Illformed - The good ol' dblue Glitch 1.3, Crusher, Stretch, and TapeStop.
Hysteresis and Fracture - Two interesting glitch effects, one being a delay and the other being a buffer.
Codec - A cool digital audio degradation effect.
Le Phonk - A slick distortion plug-in.
MAIM - An effect that mimics the sound of MP3 compression.
Soundly Shape it and Place it - One is simply an equalizer VST, the other is an effect that emulates a speaker (ex: a radio) and a space (ex: a cave).
Fresh Air - An effect that adds high end information to your sounds, to provide brightness.
ValhallaSupermassive - A combo reverb and delay plug-in that sounds quite big.
UnplugRed - A collection of various interesting VSTs, most of which have free versions.
Chowdhury DSP - I can't personally speak for all of these but their tape model effect is great for some lo-fi style effects.
TAL-Chorus-LX - A thick sounding chorus, good for "retro" sounds too.
Polyverse Wider - A great effect for widening sounds up, really simple too with only two controls.
Freesound - A good audio file resource, mainly for foley recordings.
Cymbatics Dubstep Starter Pack - A little sample pack with some good drum and synth samples.
fishmonger drum kit - A pack of samples from the album 'fishmonger' by Underscores!
WangleLine's sample packs - Free samples put out by my awesome mutual WangleLine!
aaand I might as well include this set of drums I made awhile back :P
As for DAWs, it's been a long while since I've used anything other than FL Studio (not counting Audacity, which I still occasionally use for specific purposes), which, while being the only one I can directly recommend, is paid. However, I've heard good things about Reaper which has a "free trial" that you can technically use forever, akin to WinRAR. Additionally, I've also heard some good things about Waveform Free.
(tags from @secretroomba) Ok saving these tags for later for myself
MORE because there are some additional little things I forgot about:
Geonkick - A drum synthesis VST, especially simple to get kicks going, but capable of producing a multitude of sounds.
plugdata - A visual programming environment for plug-in projects, that people produce their own plug-ins for, such as infamous plug-in the gusher.
SoundThread (info in description) - A really cool node-based audio editing interface based on the Composers Desktop Project, great for sound design, although it currently only supports .wav files.
OpenUtau - An open source software for UTAU voicebanks like Kasane Teto, much easier to work with imo than the original UTAU software for a beginner to vocal synths like UTAU and Vocaloid.
Famitracker - More NES style chiptune stuff, this one's a classic standalone tracker program.
Furnace - Another tracker I've heard fantastic things about from chiptune artists, more fully featured and capable of producing a wider variety of sounds.
Devon. The weapon of the Shadow.
.
Thinking on Devon as the apprentice of Maul and how it could look if there were a time skip of years in S2 of Maul Shadow Lord. I was inspired by a concept art of Darth Talon for the cancelled game of Darth Maul
-_-
I worked so hard to free you all…
i have the chance to do something so funny right now
Quick everyone!!! REBLOG!!!
tremble before the might of my QIN ARMY you illiterate, illegitimate, ill-begotten COUNTRY BUMPKIN! attack, my patriotic citizens! (and the conscripted forces who have no choice in the matter)
I famously overthrew the Qin dynasty, going from a peasant to one of the most beloved emperors of China. Meanwhile. Qin "Shi Huang" over there was a tyrant whose dynasty lasted a whopping….14 years. Oops.
ha. ha. lmao, even. quick show of hands, peasants, who among you wants to keep living under the powerful arm of an absolute monarch, who controls a centralised government that builds you roads, dykes and waterways--oh, would you look at that, emperor Han Gaozu himself is first in line! even the HATERS and LOSERS want to keep perpetuating the system i created because they do not have the VISION to come up with anything BETTER or MORE INFLUENTIAL. would Liu Bang, the back-stabber and baby-tosser, like to talk about what he contributed to the next 2000 years of Chinese history?
Founding the ~400 year-long dynasty considered China’s first golden age
Tax and corvee labour exemptions for the people who needed it most
Freeing people who sold themselves into slavery from famine risk
Phasing out executions and violent punishments
Promoting a peaceful society that doesn’t assume everyone is evil
Adopting Confucianism, raising the status of scholars
Bisexual swag 🏳️🌈
Paying teachers a living wage
So much excellent science
Shall I continue?
FAKE NEWS! THIS POST IS NOT LEGALIST APPROVED!
These pescatarian birds are directly exposed to PFAS contamination due to the island's position near the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.
While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.
Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.
We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!
Environmental problems CAN BE SOLVED.
One of the most important things to remember if you care about the world is that the propagandizing of "it's too late to do anything about the environment/climate change" is coming from the same people who pitched "climate change isn't happening". They don't want us banding together to make good things happen.
disney genderification of mandalorian helmet visors what if i killed you with one million hammers. why the fuck did they do that. the whole point of the gender neutral language and the ubiquitousness of the armor design is that a Mandalorian is a Mandalorian first and foremost and social roles/presentations are not based on sex/gender. they’ve got words for different genitals, probably for different biological processes. but the concept of a man being of different presentation than a woman, or a mother different than a father, a sister than a brother, is not present in the language or the culture. why would you then assert they design their helmets, the most important part of their armor, differently. in a way always associated with certain secondary sex characteristics. do you want me to kill you
writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months
Serious advice tho if this happens, it's likely because you already wrote past the end of the scene and wandered too far from the more logical transition point, and you should go back to the last time the writing felt "unforced" and cut everything after.
You can also just skip the transition. Really good writing can span years in a single sentence, like you can just authoritatively state fact and your reader will go with it.
This is GOLD! You just saved me like thousands of therapy costs lmao
When I was writing my fic last few months the strategy I used was "just skip all the scenes I don't want to write" and it worked great in my opinion
I've noticed that if I'm avoiding a scene or it feels boring for me to write then I need to do one of the following:
- Take a break (water, stretch, food, bathroom, etc)
- Re-read what I've written and look for the last point writing and the flow of things felt natural (as mentioned above)
- Check in with the characters -- what feels like the natural next step vs what my planned next step was
- Go back to the "outlining" step and review key events, event order, character perspectives and emotions, etc
- Evaluate the function of the scene Im avoiding and check if there's a different way to accomplish the same goal
- Look for reasons WHY I don't want to write it--pacing may be off, may actually feel out of character, may be placed at the wrong point in time/narrative, may not have enough happening in the scene, may need a fresh approach or shift in POV within the scene itself, etc
If it feels bad to write a scene, it's very likely that it will feel stiff, out of place, or forced to readers.
I recently scrapped the start of a chapter because it felt impossible to write the transition. I switched to new page, and started that scene from the beginning but from a slightly different narration perspective.
I had information that I wanted to include that I was trying to place at the start, but it slowed the overall progression too much and threw things off track. The story lost its momentum too much. By restarting the scene, I was able to keep the scene moving and then revisit those details from a later point by having a character thinking about the morning's events while they walked.
Always keep what you cut for reference and later use, but don't be afraid to re-start a scene or move pieces around if you get stuck.
getting followed by porn bots is weird and that’s coming from a guy with multiple 🥵 concubines
