They can sense it
drawing art for my own fic to motivate myself to write the bloody thing... college au.......
do we think he served in every universe, in every timeline?
So I was informed that someone is making +18 edits of work by mine and another Epic animator BrittPowwPixel, passing it off as if the original artist created it. The whole first minute of the animatic plays normally, but the ending is edited.
That’s… very weird. I mean, yeah, people on the internet will always be freaks, but why make it seem like the original artist did it??? Look, I have nothing against nsfw art, my problem is people doing that without consent and respect. A basic, "hey can I do this?" would be fucking nice to hear sometimes. But then make an edit and then make it like I or BrittPowwPixel did it.... Yhea that is messed up. Esepcially BrittPowwPixel case cuz their edit was on their Hold Them Down animatic. That is even more fucked up.
I found out about this because some Epic fans and religious ppl on TikTok saying I made an NSFW animatic of Odysseus and Circe. This explains a lot about why I sometimes get anons in my inbox yelling at me for making Odysseus sleep with Circe in my animatic. And I was just sitting here like, "What the fuck are you talking about???"
It even explains why I get sometimes youtube comments about (then I didnt know) refereing to that edit. I was so confused on how someone could watch my There Are Other Ways animatic and think they had sex and liked it????
Also, for those who haven't got it yet, I haven’t posted anything on that Rule 34 site. All my art was reuploaded there without my permission and even tagged it on my name. I never asked someone to make my name a tag on there. And now, with people making edits and passing them off as originals, all I can say to the one who made it, fuck off.
There is no prize to perfection… only an end to pursuit.
Something I find fascinating about Slay the Princess is the way in which it's determined that a route is "complete" and Shifty can yoink the Princess. In theory, Miss Mound can see the vessels as soon as they step outside the construct, but that doesn't mean she will automatically grab them. Instead, she seems to wait until the thread you end the Princess wove together is complete.
In some cases, it's when you reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion (fight the Adversary or Eye of the Needle, leave the cabin with the Damsel or any permutation of the Spectre) or reach a stalemate (refuse to fight Eye of the Needle, fall forever with the Wraith, Witch locks you in the basement).
In other cases, she intervenes to avoid premature destruction of the construct that might result in her being forever incomplete (Apotheosis and Networked Wild).
Whatever the case, the truth of the situation goes far beyond the Narrator's simplistic understanding of "world ends when she leaves the construct." Does Shifty have insight into each vessel's perspective that allows her to know when to act or can she simply not see them, inside or outside the construct, until their threads are fully woven?
I like to believe it's the former and that when you leave the cabin with HEA, she decides to give the two of you a little extra time together to fulfill the Princess' wish for a starlit dance. She's waited uncountable eons after all; what's another few minutes?
Was curious how far Ithaca was from troy today while listening to epic the musical and rereading the illiad and I found this map
I think odysseus would have been better just to walk😭
