[legacytoons]

✨ Introduction Post ✨

Hi I'm Vin! I'm a character artist, video editor and beginner animator in my 20s from the UK. I use He/They pronouns.

A lot of my artwork here is fan art or fandom based, but I do occasionally make cool stuff about a concept I've been working on called Midnight Rose.

Traditional and Digital Artist specialising in character designs

Emo, Steampunk Enjoyer, Visual Kei and Funery Gothic Enthusiast (My Favourite bands right now are Steam Powered Giraffe, Malice Mizer, and My Chemical Romance!)

D&D Nerd, Magic The Gathering novice

Collector of Classic Tech and Physical Media

QUICK IMPORTANT NOTES!!!

I am Autistic and have ADHD, along with Dyspraxia and Auditory Processing Disorder.

I post a lot about my special interests and hyperfixations. Additionally, because I am autistic, I struggle with communication issues. Please understand that I can't always read situations well.

I don't post with a regular schedule or anything like that. I just exist when I feel like it lol

So Tomodachi Life Living the Dream has been kinda fun and I found a stylus to draw mii facepaints with... then i saw how much space they give you.

Plus side, these miis look fuckin cool

downside, Lord X's stare is actually incredibly uncomfortable for some reason. Might be wise to not play this in the dark now.

Fuck hostile architecture, I want unhostile architecture. I want benches to be designed to be as easy as possible to sleep on. I want little places for pigeons to nest to be purposefully put on buildings. I want people designing public spaces to think about what they'd be like to skateboard on. I want "Please loiter" signs. I want people to be kind. I want...

Sappy Post, but I can't quite believe I'm 25 now. It was my birthday yesterday, and honestly? I never thought I'd see 2026 - or anything past 2020 for that matter.

I'm not quite where I thought I'd be, but I'm not in a bad spot. I mean, I'm still creating and making art, I'm learning to code, and I'm learning to express myself more. I've made new friends, continued to connect with old ones, and kept going despite the lows.

All in all, I'm pretty proud of myself because despite what my thoughts tell me sometimes, I WANT TO LIVE! I want to enjoy life and experience it!

Thank you for another fun tag, Shase! I don't have ADHD myself but I do still, as always, completely get it about time slipping away from me before I reblog stuff I'm tagged in. 🥰

Last listened to: Life by Haddaway. A lot of people only know him for What is Love but you'd be surprised how fun his other songs are!

Favourite colour: Blues, especially royal blue. 💙

Currently watching: Me and my parents are working our way through another rewatch of Only Fools and Horses and of Poldark, because we all quite like both.

Currently reading: I’ve just finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by the man, the myth, the legend, Philip K. Dick. I got it last month and tomorrow I'll be starting Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, which I bought a couple of weeks ago. 🤩 And, most likely for branding purposes, the Do Androids Dream copy I've got even has the Blade Runner poster as its front cover! 🔥

Currently working on: I’m still working my way through my initial draft of the first of my own sci-fi book concepts. As a matter of fact, I’m in the final couple of chapters! Then it’ll be a couple of months of trimming and tweaking before I’ll try and get the end version published. 😍🌟

Last google search: I just Googled the definition of a sigil, because I wanted to be sure whether or not it only applies to magic symbols. It’s an old term but it can sometimes apply to just normal seals without any magic properties. <3

Here’s my tags! And as per, anyone else not mentioned in the list can also feel free to join in. 😘

Thinking of doing this!!!

[legacytoons]

I have been legitimately obsessed with Pokopia for weeks now but the best part was finally getting to play the cds I'd collected in game and getting hit with a blast of nostalgia from hearing the title theme

Said blast being so intense that I rummage around in my room to find my GBA SP and copy of pokemon yellow, something I've not searched for for years

It still holds a charge :3

RIVENDELL

'Rivendell.' said Frodo. 'Very good: I will go east, and I will make for Rivendell...' He spoke lightly, but his heart was moved suddenly with a desire to see the house of Elrond Halfelven, and breathe the air of that deep valley where many of the Fair Folk still dwelt in peace.

(The Fellowship of the Ring, Book I, Chapter 3)

My BTAS dvd's menu scared the sh*t out of me the other day.

I'm aware that the beginning of this post is gonna read like a bad creepypasta, but it was a jarring coincidence that knocked my sleep-deprived self off balance so at the time, it really was scary haha-

So I finally tracked down something I've been looking for for ages - a box set of Batman The Animated Series. It's only a "best of" type thing, not the full four seasons but it means I've got at least some of the series on physical media now.

Obviously like any guy who's just got his hands on stuff from his special interest, I was super eager to watch it so i popped the first dvd in and it went straight to menu - and I stood there in unnerved silence as THIS faded in.

Okay I've had to record this through VLC media player on my pc as I don't have a capture card for my dvd player (if those even exist), so ignore my mouse but hey, the menu looks cool, right?

That aside, the menu itself wasn't what shook me - it was the music! I know it's probably stock music but I was very vividly reminded of a certain game that used this same music, one that used to scare the shit out of me - Twisted Metal: Black.

In case you've not played it before, there's a certain character you can unlock in the game called Minion, and he is really creepy. He's supposed to be this mysterious figure hidden in the shadows and he's got all this meta knowledge about the game's story - specifically that it all takes place in the mind of Sweet Tooth, the game's most prominent character. He'll sneak in hidden messages throughout the game and when I first saw this, I have to admit - it really shook me up for a game from the 2000s.

There is something genuinely unnerving about this piece of music. Maybe it's just my brain's association of it with TM:B, but when it faded in on my DVD my eyes were legitimately wide in shock lol. The image of minion, bloodied and battered in the background and the text warning me that he's available to play as, was genuinely haunting to me and it was clearly that strong an image that the moment I heard it BAM, my mind went wild.

The power of imagination, folks.

[beau-rebloga-coisas]

Oh woah you made the gross misogynistic guy a fat bald sweaty man? Should we throw a party. Should we call everyone. Should we throw you into space with a cannon.

This is not staying in the tags because you're right and you should say it

Protocol "beat arkham city on anything above easy" is complete >:3

As an autistic guy, one of my biggest long term special interests has always been Batman, notably the Arkham Series and ESPECIALLY Arkham City. I think I must have been about 15 when I first played it and I'm gonna be real, Zsasz used to give me nightmares man he was so well written (I STILL GET SHIVERS WHEN I HEAR AN OLD PHONE RING)

I always used to play on easy mode, simply because I just like the story but recently, I decided to challenge myself to 100% the game. This meant doing all the Riddler challenges, side quests, and dlc stuff like Harley Quinn's Revenge - and playing through new game plus fully.

To do so, I had to play the game's story on a difficulty other than easy, which was a little harder than I expected as someone who's not super experienced with the combat system.

But hey, I did it.

I DID IT! I FINALLY UNLOCKED NEW GAME PLUS!

It took me 30 hours at least, but I finally beat the story on a higher difficulty than I always used to.

As someone with dyspraxia, it hurt like hell (try to make combos and BAM, hand cramps and nerve twitchy) but I'm super happy with myself because growing up I'd always play on easy.

So now I have safety in the knowledge that I have bested my special interest game's skill check, and that's a pretty nice feeling if I'm honest.

Ow my hands.

Totally worth it though.

Hey so I thought we as userbase should organize spontaneous blackout protest against shapes inc ads here. I thought Feb 26th would be a good date (so ppl has 72 hrs notice if they want to participate), we would log off for 24hrs to show tumblr we are not okay with that (and also for shapes to get less ad revenue for a day in a process lol). Tag would be 'anti shapes inc protest'

If you like the idea/want to participate, help spread the word by reblogging this ask. Thanks <3

I would happily comply with this, hopefully enough people participate for it to make an impact!
