People were making vesselsonas on Twitter…

…and I don't usually do sonas, but this was too good an opportunity for me to pass up and I missed out on the visible vessel event in BSOTM. So, especially after playing BLW and being excited it also confirmed a lotta the exact same book lore, I now have five vesselsonas – one for what I personally consider each main “wire” in the Bendy multiverse – and my ghost that'd be doing the body hopping. 🤪

The book lore (further) confirmed by BSOTM's visible vessel event + BLW that I speak of, if y'all're at all interested. 👇🏻💕

I say “(further)” because:

"The laws of time are mine, and they will obey me!" — Birthday fanart I did for David this year, because, y'know... I had to!

[mickeys-malarkey]

I'm losing my mind over the BLW release date trailer!!

The Narrator sounds an awful lot like Guffie and the boardgame is so “unfinished Dungeons & Ink Demons” and the implications this is an escaped toon playing this I just love it so much!! 💕 And theMeatly confirmed all the old audio logs are still there, wahoo!! My favorite ones didn't get cut like I was worried they would!!

Anyways, theory: Riley and Guffie are editing the Ink World by telling/to tell us Boris' story. Also, Riley made the game board (similar look to D&ID, just much messier/hastier), Guffie made the game pieces (different art style from D&ID/BINR).

I so hope the Narrator and this workshop place'll be in the game too and not just the trailer by the way, it could be like all those fairytale movies where you cut back to the person telling the story during certain moments ROFL it'd be adorable… Fricking Princess Bride-esque…! 😋😍

Also… well, I'll be darned… Anyone else notice that this more rushed handwriting & drawing style on the trailer game board looks awfully… familiar…? 👀

Hmmmmm…

+Speaking of The Princess Bride, I'm like 20x as convinced that Wilson & Riley would definitely be instant besties, now. Friggin' platonic soulmates.

Dib Membrane & Dipper Pines officially have a rival for my all-time favorite platonic ship. 💕

Fanfics are a big part of what inspires me to draw fanart, but I have just seen a post saying that some writers might not like fanart based on their fics to be posted and honestly, I'd never considered that, so if you're a fanfic writer:

Fic writers, do you/would you like it if someone drew fanart based on your fic?

Yes I would!

No I would not

Nuanced (please explain)

Voting ended onMar 25, 2025

to me fanart and fanfic have always seemed more or less like a symbiotic relationship and I personally would love it if someone wrote a fic based on art that I drew, so I'd never really considered that someone might not like it

I'm an electrical engineer and for the longest time I was saying that electricity and electronics isn't magic, but think about it.

You literally have to collect rare stones from remote locations, put them into specific formations to work. All of this gets written down in symbols which don't make sense to the uninformed. It gets powered by energy which can not be seen in most cases.

Like what else do you want. What's your standard for calling something magic.

"It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works."

Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men (Discworld #30)

[ID1: a meme titled "Come study PHYSICS: totally a real science and not magic!" It continues, "we have…" (photo of green glowing rock) "Glowing death aura rock" (crossed out) "radioactive isotopes (has the power to level entire cities BUT IT'S NOT MAGIC)," (image of a buncha cryptic equation symbols) "THEY ARE NOT RUNES SHUT UP," (photo of an apple floating because it's sitting on a magnet) "it's not levitation it's, uhhh magnets," (black-&-white photo of someone showing off a bizarre-looking machine) "NOT a real demon, we are NOT SUMMONING DEMONS," (photo of… I genuinely have no idea, it looks mechanical) "what the fuck." /End ID1]

[ID2: 4 stick people having a conversation (only 3 actually talk). Gal 1: "How will we keep the spacecraft supplied with heat & electricity?" Guy 2: "We could use a power orb. They give off thousands of watts 24/7." Gal 1: "Huh? How do you recharge it?" Guy 2: "You don't. It's just made of a metal that emits energy." Gal 1: "Okay come on now." Guy 1: "Can we please be serious here?" Caption: For something that's real, plutonium is so unrealistic." /End ID2]

Me @ everyone who's apparently forgotten that campy horror is a whole established genre with subgenres. That some horror is literally supposed to be bad & some people enjoy watching/reading/listening to/playing horror that makes them laugh rather than scaring them.
