its june. i turn 18 on the 27th. all the years i spent thinking "just another day, make it one more day. every day you wake up is another day closer to being 18. hold on a little longer and you're free." and it's right around the corner. and i think the years of bottled up emotions are leaking out.
i saw a video of a kid coming out to his mom and she was very supportive. she said something like "i'll love you no matter what, you know that right?" and i just... broke down. why can't i get that? why did i have to draw the short end of the stick? i'm at a point in my life where most everyone i know calls me and knows me as my preferred name except my parents. theyre the only exception. and i've gotten so used to being referred to properly that when i hear them use my deadname it... hurts. a lot more than it used to. and i'm just upset. it's not fair. i know they love me but they don't love me enough to change, do they... i'm not worth the effort in their eyes, huh?
my dad just insulted my music taste and called it "nails on a chalkboard". Jane! and The Ballade of Jane Doe is PEAK idfk what youre talking about. you piss me off so bad oughfhdg
What if the player from Block Tales was replaced by Guest from The Last Guest?
Hello everyone! The one writing this whole pinned post is me, Dandelion, but this blog is ran by me and my best friend Westley!
We've been playing through Block Tales together using our Guest and Matt avatars, and ended up formulating an AU together where Guest and Matt get transported to Block Tales instead of Player. We like this AU so much that we decided to make a Tumblr blog together where we can yap about it with all of you!
Feel free to ask us anything about Lost Soldiers! See below the cut for more information on Wes and I and about our blog!
hi again, it's still dandelion :3 i use any pronouns and i'll be an adult at the end of june. i really REALLY like tlg and i've had so much fun playing block tales with wes! we're currently finishing up chapter 5 and i'd appreciate if you didn't send me spoilers :,) (wes doesn't care as much tho lol). i was the one who came up with the idea of making this blog. i also am the one who's been cosplaying as matt, and most of his lore in this au is from me :)) i'll do most of the infodumping and yapping, but i do draw on occasion. my main is @dandelion-jpeg ^^
Heya! I’m Wes or Westley, I use He/Him pronouns and am 18 YEARS OLD <- I’m a huge guest fan and have been having a lot more fun than expected playing Blocktales with Dandelion. I cosplay Guest and basically was the tipping point for the whole AU lol. I will be doing most of the art, but I’ll definitely be yapping myself.. evil laughter.. feel free to ask me anything as long as it isn’t personal or inappropriate!
PFP ART WAS MADE BY ME
General Information
This AU focuses mostly on Guest and Matt, with Guest being the protagonist and Matt coming in later as the deuteragonist.
Guest gets transported to pre-prologue Block Tales (BT) right around when he blows himself and the Bacon General up. Guest goes to the VIP convention to try and see if he can talk to Builderman to help send him home. The same events happen where Guest is sent back in time, and is put through the same quests for the SFoTH swords.
Matt lands into BT by crashing through all the Roblox HQ floors and landing in the basement right at Shedletsky's feet (unharmed, somehow) right after Guest leaves to fetch the Ghostwalker (aka Chapter 3). From that point on, they travel together.
All lore is based on a mix of TLG and TLG:R and follows the Demo 5 storyline.
Tagging System
#lost soldiers au -> Posts/art having to do with the AU.
#ls off topic -> Posts/art not having to do with the AU.
#ls bt tlg stuff -> Blocktales or The Last Guest stuff that doesn't have to do with the AU, or is vaguely related.
can people please tag their shit properly. i blocked & filtered all the reimob/mobrei content i could think of but dddne reimob art came across my feed totally missing all of that shit. I DONT WANT TO SEE THAT! ITS WHY I BLOCKED THAT CONTENT! PLEASE TAG YOUR SHIT!!!
i just graduated from highschool. wow. this doesn't feel real lol. all that suspense and buildup and, that's it? no more homework? no more chatting with teachers? no more walking to class with friends? no more music trips and band camps? no more band?
i was anticipating it yet somehow it still feels like this day snuck up on me and caught me off guard

i really liked how ritsu turned out here! i couldn't figure out exactly how i wanted to do this, so i had a couple other sketches before settling on this one. once again, no references except official renders and that's to compare colors. i made ritsu's skin slightly darker here too to keep the same contrast he has with mob.
a lot of what i said for day 1+2 applies here as well, since i did both of them back to back.
i actually had tons of fun figuring out how i wanted to draw ritsu's aura. on the spoon i initially wanted to draw mob and ritsu both levitating it, but i forgot, so i guess it's just his brother...
everyone thank teru for mob's horrendous shirt! 😊😊😊

i was so busy i forgot to start mob week! oops! i churned out two art pieces combining days 1+2 and 3+4 so i could catch up faster. i'll try to do individual pieces for the remaining days, but no promises. i'm just sticking to cleaned sketches & flat color.
for this piece, i didnt try at all for the sink and counter since it's not the main focus. i've been practicing poses without a reference, so my bad if the anatomy looks a little crappy or bland. all in all, i didn't put as much effort as i typically do in my other artworks, but i did try a little! i love mob lots lol. the hair isn't as messy as i'd like it to be, but to be fair i'm basically not looking at any references except his official fullbody render and thats mostly to make sure my colors aren't too wack. also i made his skin slightly darker because the body improvement club has him outside a lot :) shakes him in a jar
reading the manga has opened my eyes to the fact that mob is incredibly kind. but also kind of very much a bitch on occasion. and i was the exact same at 14 so, fair.
Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

@mrwizrdstar hear me out: serizawa finds a stray cat and brings it into spirits n such and it becomes their office cat. by pure coincidence (and without consulting mob), seri and reigen decide to name the cat tome. for plot convenience this is before the telepathy mini-arc
from 8:30pm-3am i sat on and off transcribing the bassoon 2 part of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture to bass clarinet, and i still have 84 to go. i'm supposed to have it done by this morning at 9am but hopefully i'll be able to get a bit more time. not getting paid for this and its not for school. im so sleepy
OH APPARENTLY IN MOGAMILAND MOB LIVES ON HIS OWN THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
and in the anime i was so confused, since mogami says everyone in mogamiland is an accurate representation of their real world counterpart, but if thats the case how did mob's parents not notice anything? or like the teacher didnt react as harshly as he did in the world. but in the manga it's explained that yes, everyone is an accurate reflection, but mogami also replaced the people around mob with others
AND I THINK WHY RITSU DIDNT DO SHIT IS BECAUSE HE DOESNT KNOW MOB??? MOGAMI DID SAY HE REMOVED ALL BONDS MOB HAD WITH THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM + HE LIVES ALONE SO THAT PROBABLY MEANS NO RITSU EITHER
but then does that mean that regular ritsu would walk past someone being bullied? that doesn't seem right. well, i think mob played a big part in his life when it comes to that. maybe not having mob as a brother means ritsu doesn't care as much about that? or is more callous???
I LOVE THAT MOBS ARGUABLY STRONGEST 100% STATE IS COURAGE AND THAT IT SHOWS UP IN THE MOGAMI ARC. LIKE MOGAMI IS SAYING ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT NEGATIVE EMOTIONS BEING SO MUCH STRONGER THAN POSITIVE ONES. BUT THEN MOB PULLS UP WITH 100% COURAGE AND WIPES ABSOLUTE ASS
