okay but why the tongue on the kneecap
Its actually coming off of the inside of the hood, it just sticks to the body all the way down sometimes, beyond that though, its not so much a 'tongue' here, its just kind of comparable to Venom's tongue to make the design still recognizable as 'Venom' even though the design itself is so different.

That movie. I Am Legend. Old Yeller.

Never gonna watch for those reasons. I don't have the emotional capability.
Same reason I stick with lighthearted games, I have no control over my emotions, no matter what happens. You ever watch Bridge to Terabithia? That was the first time I cried in the theaters (as a youngster, it was inevitable), and I flat out SWORE off of watching that movie again. The only exceptions I'll make is if the humor overpowers the tragedy.

So I now have audio of me screaming "**** YOU!!!" at the top of my lungs repeatedly.

Acting is fun.

I know that this will be ignored by the lack of users come morning, but I have to ask; for those working on their own fictional worlds, what do you want the environments of yours to look like? For me, I've got a huge love of more fantasy-esque locales and cultural mish-mashes, so I envision my world as a bit odd, but still feeling similar to what we've got on Earth (to wit: one of the subsections of a continent in my world is a three-way-mix of India, Mexico, and the Middle East, so there's a lot of colorful festivities, tasty food, and sand to be found).

Different color grass.

Both familiar and calm and at the same time just the slightest bit off from the norm.

I really enjoy settings that are a mix of traditional fantasy and science fiction elements. Final Fantasy VII is a great example. Hunter X Hunter as well.

Not technically an original fictional world, but I've been working on a script set in an alternate timeline with a fair amount of sci-fi cyberpunk elements, so that requires worldbuilding and whatnot.

Welp I dropped my Switch a bit earlier and now the back kind of wants to pop off. It's over two years old now but I still feel like it's a bit early for it to be getting this kind of damage...I guess that's the trade off for it's slicker, more "mature" design.

Hopefully it lasts me a little while longer. I'm not exactly excited for the price tag associated with getting it repaired or replaced.

I’ve never really made a fictional world, but it would depend on the scenario.

With fanfics, as long as someone respects the canon then I'll give it a read. That's how I operate when reading fanfics. If the canon is disrespected and turned on its head, I wont be able to respect it and thus, read it. Things need to make coherent sense relative to the related universe.

That’s what makes fanfic so tricky. Sometimes I feel bad ‘cause the idea makes sense on paper but just doesn’t... Work?

Then again I suppose that is why AUs exist. Not a big fan of them though. Most of them just seemed incredibly weird. I have seen some AUs I did enjoy, though.

Basically. That's what the writers have to find: something that makes sense.
And there are AUs out there that I do enjoy. They just have to respect the canon for me.
To put it in a simpler way: I'm totally cool with the writer bending the rules...but I'm not cool with them breaking the rules. Bend, don't break.

If I were to give examples, by using potential story elements within an Undertale fanfic (since UT fics are on topic):

I'm cool with this: WD Gaster is Sans' father, or some kind of relative. I'm actually totally cool with this, and even support it concerning headcanon. Both are skeleton figures, both are related to the science realm within the UT game, and both have powers that are very unique. It makes sense that they know each other and/or have some special relation.

I'm not cool with this: Sans being made into an all-powerful god-like being, moreso than in UT. I love Sans, but if the "he actually had more powers that he was just hiding until now" story point came into play, I'd be more likely to have mixed feelings on it at BEST. It *could* be done right, but if one's favorite character is made into an indestructible Mary Sue, I'm not a fan of that. The depth of the character begins to die and they lack tangible weaknesses due to such circumstances. I'm not cool with this kind of plot point because it 1.) disrespects the canon (Sans is very secretly strong, but he has tangible weaknesses and isn't a god-like being in any way, and why would he want that in the first place; it's not in his personality), and 2.) makes the character less relatable.

Now, risky tropes like the S tier power level one I mentioned in the second paragraph could be pulled off into something positive, and there is gray area there...but something like that is rare to find and is normally pulled off poorly. That's why I'm wary of fanfics...because while canon CAN be respected, it can be hard to do when you let your creativity fly away without any boundaries.

I think “bend the rules not break them” is literally putting my thoughts into words. lol

I voice for a dub of a FNAF fancomic but I wasn’t exactly sure what separated it from the rest, but I think that’s it.

Sure it uses OCs, but it’s done in a way that isn’t disruptive. It makes it very clear it’s not supposed to be a headcanon, it’s just their own thing. (The characters being incredibly well written is also a plus.) That and the writers are fans of FNAF, They know what is and is not out of bounds.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Haha, I sure hope so. Best case scenario I can find a time where my parents are out of the house so I can scream as loud as I want without getting a noise complaint from the neighbors. /s

Jokes aside, reacting to these things ‘aint gonna be easy.

So that Mulan trailer is suppose to come out tomorrow.

Can't wait to see how much they butchered yet again one of their animated classics.

Its already bad from the fact Mushu is removed...-_-

First Timothy, then him. Who is next? Jiminey Cricket.

Watch that they do with because they want Pinocchio to be independent and prove himself as a real boy on his own.

This is exactly why I hate these live-action Disney remakes.
I mean, Jiminy is literally one of the company's biggest characters, far bigger than Mushu or Timothy could hope to be. If they kept Iago and Abu, there's no doubt they'd keep him.

If anything a hypothetical live action Pinocchio remake might make him closer to the unnamed talking cricket from the book.

Pinocchio kills him with a mallet within five minutes and he comes back as a goddamn force ghost.

I haven’t drawn much of it or committed it to writing, but my original canon takes place on a variety of worlds with a bit of a mixture of sci-fi and fantastical elements, to varying degrees depending on the area. Since it’s designed to be used for various indie games, game design does alter some of the design decisions, though.

The most technologically advanced of the species here (they look like giant versions of Earth quadruped pawed mammals; sci-fi can constantly rip off humans, so why can’t I rip off other species?) has an architectural style that actually isn’t too dissimilar to modern Earth styles (and their fashion is even more modern Earth-ish,) although things are rather greatly exaggerated oftentimes. Like, there’s one city that’s built piercing into the ocean, so it’s in large part made of vertical towers with walls of ocean water surrounding it (and clear class distinctions between the top and bottom, although relatively few people live down below due to automation taking most of the jobs.)

One of the more strange environments is a dimension entirely taken up by a living system that resembles a mixture of a forest and an animal’s internal organs from the inside (it’s so large that you can never see it from the outside, although I think it’s more of an amorphous mass.) The unicellular people (they look like cute little unicellular deer) have a high degree of innocence due to being unaware of what goes on in the worlds beyond, all they’ve ever known is doing their jobs as cells in their closed off system.

Hero releasing during my trip to Madrid would be weird.

Hopefully I am near a good place with Wifi to download him if he comes after Tuesday.

Some stuff regarding my concern about a lack of wifi at Madrid if Hero drops when I get there.

My mother told me that we will be staying at the house of one of my uncle’s friends, and she seems to have a wifi connection at her home.

So thankfully I don’t have to worry about a possible lack of that.

Apparently I’m the sun and moon anime, literally everyone is in the league.

On top of that one of the matches is Jessie versus James.

So take your bets who wins it?
