I definitely haven't been listening to pirate radio for the past 45ish minutes. Couldn't be me. Definitely not.

Working on sky: cotl daily quests while listening to PIRATE RADIO* by Jean Dawson on repeat has literally altered my brain cemestry

the ambient noises plus pirate radio loud enough to drown out any thoughts is just something else

Don't even get me started about sky's sound design. It is literally so beautiful in ways I have yet figured out how to describe. There is something magical about it

PIRATE RADIO* by Jean Dawson is so beautiful. The strings... AHHHHHH /pos. I literally love then so much. The harmonies are gorgeous. Dawson's vocals blend so well with the instrumental and OMG it's so good. The little grain and modulation on the ooohs, OMG.

THE CHORUS .... this chorus is incredible. I don't even know how to describe the things it does to my brain. I love music so fucking much. Especially this song. AHHHHHHHHHH /POS!!!

THE STRINGS OMG, ILL NEVER GET OVER THE STRINGS

Anyways

If you haven't listened to PIRATE RADIO* by @jeandawsn give it a listen.

If you haven't played @thatskygame please give it a try. It has literally changed my life. They are currently working on a pc port.

GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS????

(Original by @locallygrowndaikon)

[writing-prompt-s]

You’ve been sentenced to 400 years for multiple murders. It’s been 399 years and your jailers are starting to get nervous.

[elidyce]

I was twenty… twenty-five, I think?… when I was sentenced. Four hundred years was a length of time I couldn’t even imagine. It was a length of time I don’t think anyone could imagine, even the judge. It was just a big showy number that let everyone know I’d never see the light of day again. The mages who cast the spells were dramatic about it, practically shouting the part about ‘until death claims you, or four hundred years hath passed, forsooth, thou shalt be imprisoned here’. They don’t waste that kind of magic on most prisoners, but I was special.

The Slayer, they called me then. The Monster of Sentan. I’d killed nineteen people… I remember that number because I was so furious that they stopped me so close to my goal of twenty-one. And I didn’t just kill ordinary people, no, but the Chosen of the Gods. The Great and Good. They were terrified of me. So they locked me away, to die forgotten.

It had been a little less than a hundred years when the king died without heir, and a civil war tore the country apart. When the fighting was all over, the losers were dragged down to the deepest cells under the castle, and the new king and his soldiers stopped and stared at me. “Who… who is this?” he asked, frowning. “Some victim of the usurper?”

People like cooks and jailers and scrubbers don’t change as easily as kings. The same man who’d been bringing me my meals since there was still brown in his hair and beard shuffled forward, hunched and grey now. “No, yer majesty,” he said humbly. “That be a special prisoner, from before the old king died.”

“Special? Special how?” He frowned, moving closer to my cell. “The old king died more than ten years ago. This woman must have been a child then. What could she have done to - “

“Don’t get too close, yer majesty,” the old man said sharply. “That’s the Monster of Sentan… an’ she bites.”

That was true. I do bite.

what's this!? another pearl hc9 base drawing!? that's right! this definitely has nothing to do with season 9 ending soon idk what youre talking about /silly

this time i wanted to capture the more human architecture-y side of things, and especially in the main tunnel i'd imagine things aren't as worn down while still being overgrown. the warm colors of the banners and grey colors and straight lines of the building itself provide a nice contrast from the dark blue chaos i usually use for the alien stuff :D

here's the picture i used as a reference!!

(you can find my previous pearl base drawing here!)

"Kill them with kindness" WRONG. drop the opera house chandelier on them.

something that i think most people are forgetting about the visuals for red team is that, because of how the cosmetic slots work, the red team is usually using their gasmasks at all times EXCEPT when the toxic gas is actually present. because when they shit the mast to the active armor slot, it is almost always actively hiding their gasmasks from everyone else

and i just think that the visual of these people who wear masks at all times except when literal poison is in the air, which is the moment that they joyously take off the mask and show their faces, as they breath it in? enhances the threatening aura of the red team TREMENDOUSLY
