Hi, I'm Sage! I'm an independent artist and author working on too many projects. I like Pokemon, weird hybrid animals, and angst.

#And Then I Rambled #Links in a convenient post!#Cuz that's a good thing to have just like in general

Inexplicably thinking about the SCP I wanted to write.....like I have so many ideas but I'm not sure I'd be able to pull off a proper article-formatted thing, as much as I want to :/

#And Then I Rambled #Maybe I'd have to collab on it #Like write up all my info informally and have someone else format it as an article #If anyone following me knows about this stuff feel free to message me like genuinely #SCP #It's about roadkill car crashes and apathy #I've drawn a pic ages ago of an entity but like. My art style isn't nearly realistic enough to get the point of it across

Salmonid!!!! Attack for @therantingsage!

My Deco!!! Thanks again this rules

Non-art Mythcre stuff that I made at the hospital but never posted. In-universe theology and an attempt at an alphabet I didn’t fully flesh out

#Mythcre #Posting this while waiting for therapy to start #I don’t like calling the egg and feather stuff ‘religion’ but I know that me not calling it that doesn’t change what it is #They’re gods. Just because they don’t get called that in-universe doesn’t change the logistics of it #And therefore it wouldn’t make sense for the creatures of the planet to all have the same thoughts about them #There’s gotta be variation in a realistic setting #Which. I mean I don’t make a habit of calling Mythcre Realistic because that’s not my main goal with it #AHH YAP OVER #BACK TO ART FIGHT WAIT NO BACK TO WAITING FOR MY THERAPIST TO SHOW UP

Made an Art Fight card! I'm going with Team Tragedy!

Booping this since Art Fight starts!!!! Tomorrow!!! Excited for my first year!!!

#And Then I Rambled #Wah !#Got like 40 bookmarked characters so far #Current plan is just to go through those (I'll save the friendly fire ones for the last week maybe)#And do defenses when I can. Depends how many attacks I even get #I'll play it by ear

By the way no one cares about this but while working on the next chapter of the Too Close fic (which is done btw) I edited every single one of the brain fam’s dialogue tags. Literally across all the chapters.

() So instead of Mira’s dialogue looking like this- ()

(( It looks like this now! ))

It took like an hour of formatting them all but I wanted to change it, since I realized it had a bit of a clunky look to it that was unintended.

So for all the changes it goes:

() Mira () -> (( Mira ))

[] Isa [] -> [[ Isa ]]

<> Odile <> -> << Odile >>

{} Bonnie {} -> {{ Bonnie }}

We thank you for your patience during maintenance 👍

#And Then I Rambled #Too Close AU #I realized I had Odile talk using the Call Sign in my other fic #And her dialogue in it was << like this >> and I realized I like it better #So I wanted it to be consistent between fics #Two fic posting days away from publishing that chapter #Next day is my splat fic #after THAT is too close #But it is indeed ready! get hype or whatever

I WAS gonna record more Deltarune this morning but apparently my laptop fan has objections to that. Literally buzzing at me. What

#And Then I Rambled #I turned the computer off it’s not worth the risk #I don’t know what’s causing it and at this point I’m afraid to ask #Maybe I’ll try again later

Link to my Deltarune playthrough playlist!

#And Then I Rambled #Doodles #Wah! First three hours on there so far #Gonna take a break for a bit before recording more

Heartbreaking: fanfic commenters collectively focusing on the wrong random foreshadowing detail😞

The only plus side of this was that I was worried it would be a plot hole that the character in-universe didn’t notice The Implication, but if the audience isn’t picking up on it either than ok 💜 yay 💜

#And Then I Rambled #I was worried about putting Odile in situations she’s too smart for #But I guess it’s fine?#Worried for nothing I guess

Heartbreaking: fanfic commenters collectively focusing on the wrong random foreshadowing detail😞

#And Then I Rambled #This is about Group Nightlight #I CANT EVEN VENT PROPERLY BECAUSE SPOILERS #AND I CARE VERY MUCH ABOUT THOSE ALWAYS #Just. the general consensus seems to be one incorrect conclusion #no one noticed my breadcrumb….my one line…

Final character refs for the anthology I think! The three mages of the water chapter! I'm impressed with myself for seeing this through as far as I have, with this project especially because measuring my progress is more linear than usual. Like wow :D

#Mythcre #Elemental Anthology #Doodles #I have maybe a side character or two that has a speaking role #But those don't need refs #Which means I've got everybody!#Leopard seals and penguins are weirdly shaped compared to the animals I usually draw #So I'm happy they turned out ok #Sally is he/him btw. Trevor is a guy and Diadem is a girl but Sally is he/him and neither #This is important knowledge trust

When Deltarune drops I'm gonna be recording a playthrough rather than streaming it; evidence shows my laptop will not be able to handle the latter. I won't be posting about any spoilers, but I will be linking the playthrough videos once they get posted. Here's hoping the quality of the videos doesn't suck absolute ass ;;

#And Then I Rambled #I should make a thumbnail now that I think about it #Lemme get on that

Moooooore Elemental Anthology characters! Melondee and her foster daughter, Goldhoof. Paired by the foster system mainly due to their shared connection to Light magic.

#Mythcre #Elemental Anthology #Doodles #Just the water chapter guys left to draw #Which I'm putting off tbh.......don't have a solid mental image of them yet #I drew them like twice but they're all animals a bit outside my comfort zone #I'll figure it out eventuallyyyyyyyyyy

GUESS WHO POSTED THE GROUP NIGHTLIGHT CHAPTER A DAY EARLY BECAUSE I'M IMPATIENT

#And Then I Rambled #Loopdile #GET HYPE GET HYPE

I guess since the TADC finale’s out in YouTube now I can finally say my thoughts more concretely.

I didn’t like it. It was marginally better on a second watch, but I still feel profoundly unsatisfied. For sure no more motivation to write more fic for it, which is weird cuz open endings usually give me MORE ideas on stuff that could come after but the ending just left me feeling. Meh? I’ve lost interest.

I don’t like making statements concretely calling things bad, though. I’ve seen a lot of people sharing their thoughts about how good of a finale it was, and while I may not agree, I can understand that most media is subjective. People are making good arguments. I just didn’t like it, no matter how good or bad anyone else thought it was.

#And Then I Rambled #Good for me to move on from I guess #Got other stuff to write #People are going to be commenting on Pomni Copes until the end of time #Which is frustrating #Like genuinely leave it alone it doesn’t align with canon anymore it was pilot-era #Especially since I don’t really ship Ragatha and Pomni anymore either #bleh whatevssssss it’s fiiiiiiine I’m looking a comment section in the mouth again

Nature chapter characters for the anthology! I'm getting a bit ahead of myself seeing as I'm not even done with the Wind chapter yet, but I felt like it would help me brainstorm if I had them all drawn anyway. Since I'm not entirely positive yet about exactly what happens in the Nature chapter.

This is The Five-Leaf Council, shown in order of seniority. Daisy Neck's been there the longest, whilst Mistletoe Ear has their first meeting ever during the chapter itself. They pick a plant, plant it on themself, and use their magic to keep it fresh and alive. They use codenames to refer to each other, relating to said plant and its placement. Everyone's judging Mistletoe Ear hard for picking a plant with three syllables.

#Mythcre #Elemental Anthology #Doodles #Only two chapters left to draw characters for!#I think it's five characters total. Three for the Water chapter and two for Light #I sketched them all out when I was at the hospital so I mostly just gotta decide on colors

Dream creature from last night. Arapaima-sized fish I picked up with tongs and put in a bucket, but it kept flinging itself out of it. Just a regular, if strong, fish aside from how the pattern imprinted in my memory.

Probably Clyde's life coach in the Dream Island setting. At the very least they kinda have to be friends since they're the only fish so far.
