Sleeping on the throne, late night drawing

[alabasterpickles]

So the last couple weeks have been kinda…. brutal 😂 and today I had some free time, so I drew my favorite Goron dough ball with his kid-assistants as a salve for my weary soul

Bonus under the cut doodle for realism purposes (those legs aren’t functional for high speed chases)

^ the mood of the month 😂

Absolute travesty of epic proportions that Flick and CJ don't share a room at the new hotel, like seriously Nintendo, what the fuck? But I made Flick his own room and he talked about CJ a little bit.

.

(Speaking as a quiet person with a loud partner, I feel this in my bones.)

And here's a better look at the room, with an artist's work station, bug cage and view of the mountains.

[starfragment1979]

I heard on Reddit that if you make a VIP room for Flick or CJ while the other is on the island that you get special dialogue, so I had to try it out. I did have to design another room, though -- I was kinda hoping it'd save the VIP room design from last time.

Their love feels so real so Reel

[starfragment1979]

To follow up on this post, I had Flick on my island today so I invited CJ over for a VIP hotel room. And as expected, fully half his dialogue was about Flick, because that man just can't stop talking about his boyfriend. I'm not going to post everything, but here's a few snippets.

.

CJ's such a good partner for letting Flick focus.

Or at least he's trying to, because he also said this, once again confirming how much he's always loved watching Flick do anything:

.

.

(With the new dialogue with the update, he and Flick both have mentioned childhood trips to "the mountains" and I don't know how or if to incorporate that into my main account fics because they are mostly set in Minnesota where there are, uh, very few mountains. Later I'll have to do rooms for Nat and Chip to see what they say.)

And here's a look at the seaside room I made for CJ, with an ocean view, streaming set up and fish decor... and a double bed with a dispenser bottle next to it, because he's got plans for later when Flick is done working.

CJ and Flick are the cuties of all time

I think comic acts as a good litmus test for your ability to actually Do Politics

[phaeton-flier]

like the test is whether you think the comic is right or dumb?

@yanklbonkl

Less about the comic and more your response: do you view the dynamic being shown as righteous or worrying? Do you treat politics as a Cool Kids Club or as an attempt to actually, you know, organize and make change?

[feotakahari]

I’m not sure what actions the left could take that wouldn’t be interpreted as a shove rightwards, though. Any amount of “Stop calling us subhuman” ends up with “You’re attacking me by telling me not to call you subhuman.”

[misanthropiccatboy]

This happens but not to the degree right-wingers want you to think it happens.

[friendshapedhole]

It happens but it is inherently untrustworthy to listen to your political enemy when they claim that your actions motivated them to become your enemy. Because obviously everyone from every faction has an incentive to say that. It’s not only a self-flattering narrative, and a self-justifying narrative. It’s also exactly what you would expect your enemy to say if your actions are working and are successfully defeating him. You would expect your enemy to lie and try to talk to you out of your successful strategy; persuade you to try a less formidable one.

So only listen to people on your own side who tell you that you’re being alienating and driving people away. They’re trustworthy because they have an incentive to tell you the truth when your tactics are counterproductive and self-sabotaging.

(Of course this can get into another can of worms about whether people who are ostensibly on your side are true members of your team, or perfidious fifth columnists secretly in league with the enemy team. But that’s for another post.)

Look, I spent the entire 90s and a good portion of the 00s getting called a Nazi online for saying "Hey, stop treating queer people like shit", but I never became a Nazi. So all the dudes going "Well, I only became a Nazi because you called me one!" are just revealing the fact that they were looking for an excuse all along.

(See also "Feminazi", and calling Political Correctness "Free Speech Nazism" from the 80s to 00s. Somehow, despite decades of that, very few of the people being called Nazis by their political opponents actually became Nazis.)

i had a revelation

[seventeendeer]

more pride-themed Sonic stuff for the soul. I really love those gay radio birds from the IDW comics, they're so sweeties ...

I own the white mug irl, it's been my emotional support mug for almost a decade now haha <3

[sonicpridecorner]

Can you draw Nite and Don with the gay flag ?

Absolutely!! These two are so cute, I was very happy to see them requested and to get to draw them!!

Alt flag versions under the cut <3

I have to admit that the more we see from CrossWorlds, the less enthusiastic I am about it. Mostly thanks to all the crossover DLC.

Early on, following its announcement and the public playtest, CrossWorlds was pitched as this big celebration of Sonic in kart racing form. A big roster of characters, a bunch of tracks based on locations across the series, even the return of the Babylon Rogues and Extreme Gear for Riders fans. It seemed like it was doing everything right.

And then they started announcing the crossovers.

First they announced the first few Sega guest characters who'll be added for free. And that was fine. That made sense. It's all Sega stuff, and seeing Ichiban and Miku racing against Sonic characters is funny.

And then right after that, they announced... Minecraft. Minecraft Steve will be in the Sonic racing game, along with a whole Minecraft track, as part of the season pass that's being announced months before the game is even out. It seemed very arbitrary, just doing a crossover with something super popular as a marketing stunt.

And then, as had been previously leaked, we got the SpongeBob announcement. SpongeBob and Patrick will be in the new Sonic racing game, along with a Bikini Bottom track. And like, yeah, I love those first few seasons of SpongeBob as much as the next late-gen millennial, but does that mean I think SpongeBob makes sense to include here? No. And later in the season pass we'll also be getting TMNT and Avatar crossovers, because of course we are. Nick characters are literally half of the season pass. I will admit that the turtles are a good fit for Sonic, but the rest? Come on. But please be sure to pay $90 USD to get the Digital Deluxe Edition so you can play as Aang, everyone!

The current fan favorite (Sega-developed) Sonic kart racer, All-Stars Racing Transformed, also had its fair share of random third party guest characters. I didn't mind it there. The difference to me is that the selection there was so random and asinine that it was kind of charming, and easy to ignore. Including Danica Patrick, Wreck-It Ralph, and one of the guys from the YogsCast in a Sonic racing game was so stupid that it was funny. It was also easy to ignore in a game that already had such a hodgepodge crossover roster.

But here it feels cynical. It's a generic corporate synergy move in what was pitched as purely a Sonic game. Viacom will shove SpongeBob, the turtles, and Aang into every game they can as cosmetic DLC, from Fortnite to Fall Guys to Smite and beyond. We're not getting these characters because someone at Sega thought they'd be the best fit for Sonic, but rather because Viacom owns the Sonic movies and they wanted to do cross-promotion of their Most Valuable IP with Sega. This wasn't a decision made by a creative, it was made by a boardroom. And also they had to do it on the cheap, I guess, because they couldn't pay to get Tom Kenny or Bill Fagerbakke to provide voice lines, or even get the rights to use stock clips of theirs. So SpongeBob and Patrick are just going to be mute in this racing game that places a huge emphasis on having a ton of voice lines and interactions for the Sonic cast. There's a very real chance we're just gonna see lobbies full of mute crossover characters when playing online. Sonic is simply a part of the Viacom corporate machine now, whether we like it or not. And Minecraft is here because it's the most popular game in the world and its movie just made almost a billion dollars, I guess.

It just feels like it's watering down the identity of the game so much. I like Fortnite, but I don't need every other game in the world to turn into Fortnite with all these corporate crossovers. It's fucking exhausting. I won't go as far as going "slot crisis" mode here and assume that these DLC characters have taken slots from other characters I'd rather see included, but like... If the game comes out and Tangle and Whisper aren't in it, but SpongeBob is? Sorry, but you're never going to hear the end of it from me lmao

(I know fans have already datamined an Extreme Gear for Whisper that seems to point to their inclusion, but that's not exactly a confirmation. It could literally just be the Extreme Gear thrown in as a nod to the comics and nothing else. Also now that we have all these mute crossover characters part of me worries that they wouldn't even bother casting voice actresses for them, which is half the reason why I'd be excited to see them in a game in the first place. I know it's a whole different rights situation with the Nick characters, but still, the thought is in my head.)

So yeah. I dunno. It'll probably still be decent. But these last few announcements have kind of killed the excitement for me.

At least I still have Ring Racers.
