He/him / casual artist Regularly a victim to my own brain rot Almost always sleep deprived

Boom, intro-post

Still somewhat figuring out how this website works but yeah.

So, hi, I´m Cyathol, or just Cy or whatever

I'm fine with he/him pronouns and am a (very casual) artist with a (very) inconsistent artstyle who's here to just enjoy the vibes

As for posting, yeah, very inconsistent. Maybe once in a blue moon... Maybe even a bit of art when I feel like it, otherwise just walls of text where I ramble about this and that. Might disappear for months but that's kinda my thing. In that case; no, I'm not dead and did not abandon this blog, I just tend to have stuff going on that I prioritize above forcing myself to post.

Also my interests shift regularly, in random intervalls so who knows what the brainworms will feed on next... that also means the stuff I post about could change drastically

Stuff I post about rn are: Monster Hunter World/Iceborne/Rise/Wilds

>>>which is subject to change without notice or specified time-frame

Some stuff I also take interest in and might be open to make discussions (but am probably not gonna post) about are: Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099, Outer Wilds, Cyberpunk 2077, Outer Worlds, Prey (2017), Red Dead Redemption 2, Pokémon (mainly gen 6 and forward), Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, The Witcher, Sable, God of War (mainly Norse era), and Elden Ring.

Since 10* (Archtempered) Rompompolo is making a name for himself, this feels relevant to post here

Average Oilwell Basin Hunt

Pretty sure Alma's gonna make a request for Avis Unit to get a new hunter if this keeps happening.

One slightly funny thing about Monster Hunter to me is that the monsters fight eachother no matter what. Sure, makes sense for them to be territorial but it gets ridiculous when there's, like, severe differences in their position within the foodchain.

When a Quematrice encounters a Rey Dau. Like, that is the Apex Predator of this region. Does the oversized chicken care? No. It goes in, gets its ass beaten and walks home, only for a different Quematrice to do the exact same thing 20 minutes later as if that one had any better shot at it than the one before.

Does the Great Izuchi think it can win against the colossus that is a Magnamalo? Apparently, yes. It does and will try to do so.

Sometimes monsters will fight eachother where I'm genuinely invested in who does end up getting the win, like a recent Magnamalo hunt where a Rathalos suddenly flew in out of nowhere, attacked the Magnamalo with a few good hits only to then proceed to get its ass so severely beaten, I had to pause the game. Especially because the turf war went sky high. Within a cave. So high they disappeared within the ceiling of said cave only to then drop back down again when the Magnamalo stunned the Rathalos.

And then you'll look at the Chatacabra that earnestly runs up to fight a Seregios like it ever had a chance and can't even laugh because of how ridiculous it is. But thanks for the few points of damage I don't have to deal myself now.

monster hunter is a metaphor for life. you need to protect yourself, slow down, and try to understand the things around you. blindly lashing out will only get you hurt. your cat is an invaluable and steadfast ally. honey makes everything better. when you least expect it there's a giant hungry pickle that wants nothing more than to annihilate you with its pickle beam. always remember to eat.

biggest L i've had to take from morning people is that the hours between 5 - 9 am really do have 7x as much time in them than the ones between 9 pm - 1 am and you can get your whole day's worth of shit done by noon

Found some lore about Rove

There's actually a bit of extra dialog for Rove when you talk to him post-game repeatedly

[cyathol]

And two pieces of a sketch page from like March I never managed to finish where I tried to experiment with Miguel's design a bit because I'll never forgive atsv for giving Miguel Tyler Stone hair what the hell

The extra scar on his face is funny because I just imagine him showing up to work at Alchemax and some coworker being like "How'd that happen?" and Miguel who got shot in the face with a lasergun like two days before just stands there like "I... fell down... the stairs...?" (Almost barely any buildings Uptown have stairs, everything has elevators or escalators. At least in my mind)

More Rambling

Okay my first and initial reaction to this may or may not have been quite overreactive but I was highly sleep deprived and already pissed off because of a series of other events so that was just like the cherry on top that just ruined my day.

The problem that I have with this is that I feel like it takes away from Miguel's character a lot. Like, not even talking about how problematic the script is and how this encourages people characterizing him the way they do but in general.

Like the butt jokes are even comic canon, but to make it the majority of his character...?

It's just that he's been reduced to sexy vampire Spider-Man that just... there's so much more to his character and it just sucks that most people, writers and fans, seem to be pretty ignorant of that.

I get that ATSV and '92 Miguel are nowhere near the same but the way ATSV Miguel has been handled just doesn't really seem okay to me? Both how he's portrayed and perceived. The straight-up dehumanizing writing in the script, the general sexualisation, the way his character branches off from comic canon in all the wrong ways, the stereotypes he falls into and how the writers straight-up didn't even like him and showed that through their writing?

All these things especially end up impacting his character a lot because of his rather short appearance in Across, like how he's even missing his entire origin-story unlike pretty much every other major character in the movie, which shows how much it impacts his perception by how half of the fans are still convinced he's a vampire.

Conclusion: The way he gets treated doesn't really sit right with me and I hope they can fix that by giving his character more thought and explanation in Beyond and for the love of God please don't reduce his character to whatever this is.

Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk, read his comics if you haven't. They're definitely not perfect but are a great way of actually getting to know his character properly.

devmalya pramanik miguel save me

oooo. ...aufh

[xinakwans]

[cyathol]

yeah I don't think I'm really looking forward to the release of Beyond anymore if they keep it up in the writing department like that

The fucking script read like bad ao3 fanfiction at some points with Miguel and the whole "animal" bullcrap

[sm2k99]

they should add a miguel o'hara emoji

First time I've actually drawn comic Miggy even if it's just more shit posting so yay

Yeah, so I just got back from a two week (forced) vacation so uhm just have this lol I'm knee deep in an art block I think. I feel like all life and creativity has been sucked out of me and Monday is approaching way too fast

[cyathol]

little stupid thing that came forth from a "conversation" with my bestie (aka me spam-messaging them at midnight about my latest brainrot)

Since Miguel's pupils even reflect "simple" light sources, making them appear white I like to think that he has cat-with-lasers-for-eyes moments when he's in darker surroundings

Like Gabriel absolutely getting the shit scared out of him when accidentally shining his phone-flashlight at Miguel cuz the lights in his apartment were off once when Gabe visited
