i'm making a brand new, unbearable wizard quiz

[wizardsisananimal]

trying to find out the maximum number of questions uquiz will let you have in a single quiz and so far it has not stopped me at 76 and i do not think it will stop me at 77

Hour 4 of being trapped in the wizard’s hedge maze labyrinth

I’m met with a 10 hour timer. I’ve persisted through every trial and hurdle thus far, and I’m determined to make it through this challenge as well. Although the note says it’s not required, I believe this to be another of the wizard’s tricks, so I stay put. Perhaps the count down will open the way forward once it reaches the end, and I’ll simply pass the time by sorting whatever magic items I am presented. I may have been lucky to not end up like the guy that got stuck in a 12 year psychic prison, but that does not mean that I am free. Perhaps there’s a library in that tower from earlier, and maybe the wizards would like help sorting the books in a reasonable fashion. Otherwise, I’ll just have to resort to drawing in a patch of dirt, hopefully with a stick and not my hands. Only time will tell.

[galactic-feelins]

In case anyone was wondering, yes I’m serious

I feel like I’m going insane now, and I think that’s fitting for the wizard maze vibes-wise…

[galactic-feelins]

Why did I do this?

Guys I set up a kofi today! I'm so excited! I have to do a lot of cleaning up tho. Oh boy, this blog needs a fresh coat of paint! I haven't changed the colors or the banner in, I think, 8 years? And then while I'm at it, I can figure out how to attach the kofi widget thingy! :3 So so exciting

Recently I was reminded of that one DPxKH crossover I started years ago, the one I wrote before my attention shifted to the group crossover Runaway City, and I've been thinking about it for days now. I reread it, and damn you can really tell I wrote it at 3am. Grammar, typos, and way too many punctuation marks. But man, I really do like that au a lot, and it's a shame that I didn't know what direction to move in for part 3 at the time. I'd like to continue it now though.

Semi unrelated but I just took a weed gummy a few minutes ago in hopes of quelling my anxiety and stress levels so they're no longer catastrophic. I wonder what would happen if I attempted writing part 3 while dealing with a very very low dose of weed that's somehow inexplicably enough to blast my brains out. It could be funny tbh

I could probably even try rewriting the whole thing... like some kind of remake...

[galactic-feelins]

So I have a question of sorts. Maybe more of a philosophical debate I haven't recieved an answer for, but basically the same thing. It's a bit long winded tho so prepare.

So to start off, this is about Sora being trans. Sora is transmasc, and Roxas has identified as male for all of his 1.5 years of existance. Now for the dilemma, and you can probably see where I'm going with this already...

Is Roxas cis? Like he never experienced being a girl like Sora has, and he was assigned male the moment he came into existence, but he's created from Sora's body losing his heart. Maybe Roxas is intersex? Maybe his body mirrors Sora's stage in his transition, but I don't really know enough about the medical side of that process.

I dunno, so I'm gonna make a poll:

What is Roxas considered to be?

Cis male

Intersex

Trans male

Secret forth option?

Results (I don't know either)

Voting ended onMay 4

[galactic-feelins]

It's the next day and I have been absolutely loving the different perspectives put forth here! I'd also like to know what people were thinking of when selecting the secret forth option, but I just realized a few minutes ago I forgot to list nonbinary as an option, so that's my bad. I put that option down thinking "ooo what if Roxas is transfem?"

Anyway, I have simultaneous agreements and disagreements with the perspectives laid out, but that split is exactly why I wanted to see other perspectives! Personally I'm leaning more towards intersex because that'd be interesting and there should be more rep for sure.

In contrast, when I got my partner's opinion he says Roxas should be trans because Sora is trans, and then later in the conversation said Goofy should be trans. He only knows as much as I've told him about Kingdom Hearts but I have told him a lot I think, but considering he admitted to hitting every character with the trans beam I don't think knowledge is stopping him from seeing the entire KH cast as trans.

Well guys, I've done it. Last night I added sea-salt ice cream to my game

If anyone has any other ideas of what food I should recreate in game, I'd love to hear it! Doesn't even have to be kingdom hearts exclusive either- literally anything I can find a reference for would be much appreciated! I just really like stretching my skills in this department

[galactic-feelins]

Not even 10 minutes after sending this post the game hit me with the existential question of what slang we use in the real world. Immediately lost my memory of the past 7 years and defaulted back to "oh, worm?" Tried looking up online what modern slang/phrases exist and most results are targeted towards boomers. I just wanted to jog my memory, man!

Thought I'd share this clip of Dani Demon scaring Tick. The miis really are prey animals huh. It's now been 3 days since this happened in my game and I couldn't stop thinking about it today TwT

I finally started drawing the Vsynth cosplay stuff, and while drawing Roxas I suddenly got a feeling of dejavu. I figured out what was causing it:

On the left is the current wip. On the right is a screenshot taken last October as part of a larger canvas

At least I know I’m getting more consistent with drawing Roxas???

[galactic-feelins]

I think I've just spent the past 2 hours just drawing a paopu fruit in Tomodachi Life. From memory of course. Might've been 3, I'm not entirely sure. Anyway,

Not even sure why I'm making this. My island is full of ocs right now. I have yet to make a kingdom hearts mii in this game, so this is just kinda gonna be here on the island for unknown reasons

[galactic-feelins]

Finally listened to Ego Renegade Boy and uh... well fuck, now I've got 4 characters I need to draw cosplaying as Vocaloid/V-Synth/derivative characters. And I'm not really sure where to start on that, cuz this has been an idea floating around for a while now.

[galactic-feelins]

Hot kingdom hearts take, but I don't like "Sanctuary" very much. I even showed it to my partner and he pointed out the backing track doesn't seem to match the vocals very well, so that's a new thing I can't unhear. But my real gripe, my most egregious sin, the problem that takes me out of the moment...

"My heart's a battle ground" is a raw ass line with absolutely no payoff!

I challenge you to remember off the top of your head how the lyrics go! Hell, bonus points if you can remember the backwards vocals used in that section! I can remember a majority of the lyrics in both "Simple And Clean" and "Don't Think Twice" easy peasy, but I can rarely remember how Sanctuary's lyrics connect together!

I bet that section of the song wouldn't feel as jarring to me if there was a payoff to match the set-up. Here, I'll even provide an example of what my brain came up with on the edge of sleep last night:

"My heart's a battle ground,"

This beat keeps marching on-

No foe can keep it bound;

(My) promise to carry on;

"For you and I, there's a new land-"

I'm sure others can do better but PLEASE somebody tell me they understand me! Why is that line so lonely? It feels like a settup to some lead! Where's the lead???

Maybe I'm wrong here; I'm not a musician afterall, I don't understand music theory, but damn. Why does "The Mind Electric" hit so fucking hard while the backwards vocals in "Sanctuary" just don't? Why does it feel like an identity crisis trying to be a shoulder to lean on? Was that on purpose? Is there's some artistic meaning to the discoordination?

The worst part about writing fantasy is being keenly aware that you’re writing fantasy, which means that you always have to straddle a thin three-way line between anachronism, cliche, and clunk.

Take money, for example. You can’t just have people in a fictional fantasy world walk around using Euros. You consider something generic, like ‘silver coins,’ but before you know it your world starts sounding like a shitty ren faire.

So you think about the world you’ve built and its needs and its history to come up with some unique and relevant terms. But if your terms are too unique and relevant you wind up writing “yarr, you’ll be ransomed for a hundred Trade League Silver Gyrblonks” and realize your worldbuilding is now getting in the way of basic readability.

“They’re using golden valley coins!”

…didst thou mean dollars?

“Nevermind. They’re using some basic silver coin and then enough gold to be worth ten silver coins is called a ten-piece”

…Si, si, el Peso!

Trying over, they’re minted by the king so they’re called crown coins, or, these days, abbreviated, they’re just Crowns

Naturligvis, vi skifter Daler ud med Kroner!

The Lesson Of The Day is that all the names are already claimed by IRL, and all the almost-good-names that you could invent to get around that were used by some SFF author in the seventies e.g. I bet you can’t do Suns and Moons for your gold/silver coins, I bet some author did that already.

My fantasy nation uses solid gold coins marked by the dental impressions of the reigning king, as a sign of their purity and authenticity.

They’re called Bitcoins.

oh you can go the fuck to jail that’s what you can do, where you’ll be shackled to a chain gang hitting the blockchain with a pickaxe

Ok within 25 minutes of posting these tags on main I thought of so much lore explanation for what I'm talking about here, and goddamn I need to write it down somewhere so I'm subjecting my art blog's followers to this TwT

Native to the glacial mountainous regions lives a beast whose diet consists entirely of silt and stone. These beasts have come to be known as wyrms, named for their long noodly bodies and their tendancy to form tunnels in search of food. As the humble wyrm's diet averages a 5 on the hardness scale, their bones have adapted to a density that rivals topaz and other such precious gems, and thus are not so easy to break or shape. This makes for great tool handles and other such valuables! Their spines, however, consist of more vertebrae than a python, and are far too small and dense to be easily shaped into something of use. With how unique the wyrm bones are in toughness and luster, the spinal vertebrae quickly became a piece of wealth representation and traded hands frequently for goods and services. By the time the wyrms grew to be endangered, metalworking had blossomed, and the value of bones were found next in metal pieces. Just like that, the black brass coins the people now trade with have no obvious connection to their namesake, save for their luster and coloration resembling that of the bones of the mountain beasts.
