oh my god i just saw her get onto an airship with a woman whose tophat has at least twice as many sprockets as mine. i will be killing myself with an elaborate pneumatic pistol tonight
i love it and hate it when a character in a story is so obviously created to be cool and awesome and then i do think they're cool and awesome. like fuck, yeah, ok, they're fucking epic. swag as hell. you got me you coolbaited me ok? i'm coolbaited.
Really enjoyed the game REPLACED, so mandatory fan art time! This is the protagonist, Reach.
I love squinting at sprites and heavily stylized art to try and piece together character designs, it's one of the greatest joys of indie game fan art. Chose to interpret some of the shading on the promotional art as a scar because scars are cool and I like drawing them.
Also, you give me a story about an artificial intelligence that somehow finds itself in a human body and I give them the quintessential human experience: a stomach ache.

Big fan of the idea of a nigh-super soldier getting taken out by stomach issues of all things. Food poisoning spares no man.
Been a long time since I've been in a fandom so heckin small that I can keep refreshing the Tumblr and AO3 tags and barely find anything. This friggin game is going to make me write again isn't it. I'm a visual artist, not a writer, I'm not built for this!! I have a 3D modeling project I should be working on!!
I love the tiny fandom experience of recognizing usernames cross-site though. It's like recognizing strangers from your daily commute. Hello fellow tag-crawlers.
Time taken on the portrait was 8 hours 7 minutes. Tummy hurty was 7 hours 10 minutes. Kinda surprised the 2nd one was so fast or that the portrait was so slow. I guess the portrait did pave the way for me figuring out how to draw this dude. I don't have much experience drawing older folks.

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.
