Before We Get Back To Our Story, Today's Sponsor Is Scam. Scam Is A Great New Service That Enables You

. . . I'm gonna do another poll and put it for just one day

I have too many projects.

Chapter 7 of my chaotic chatfic! Admittedly it ends abruptly, but I wanted to post something.

*writes two chapters*

I could have a buffer!

*thinks about it*

Mmm nah.

*double update*

*slides in the link to my weird apocalypse crossover story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/65027080/chapters/167198482*

Perfectly innocuous statement.

Somebody else probably did this already but whatever

there is untapped potential for Petra's god awful puns. "a-maze-ing" and "chicken nap"... wtf is wrong with her.

surprised she hasn't used "petrified" yet

[An image of Pacifica and Mabel, standing next to each other. Pacifica is wearing a light blue dress and has a flower in her hair. Mabel has a yellow headband and is wearing her shooting star sweater and a dark blue skirt. The girls are looking at each other. Above Pacifica are the words "Reverse Pacifica." Above Mabel are the words "Normal-ish Mabel" cut off partway through "Mabel."

This morning I was thinking about AUs or something because I came up with "Reverse Falls but it's only half reversed so Pacifica and Dipper are reverse but Mabel and Pacifica are the same but it's also Reunion Falls so Dipper's grown up with Gideon." Partly brought on because I like Reverse Falls to an extent, but all the characters are so out of character. Which IS part of the AU, I know that . . . I just want to stay true to the characters' core personalities because they're the ones I know and love.

So now I can add the half-reversed Reverse x Reunion Falls to my ten thousand other AUs. Yes, I will write this too. Maybe not a whole story. Maybe just scenes. (Who am I kidding, this'll end up a story with twenty thousand words of lore. Why do I do this to myself.)

I’m so glad that someone mentioned the humor in this game because the face of sheer disbelief Ivor makes when you choose to take out the Eversource crown/white pumpkin instead of the ender pearl in the Crown Mesa right before getting apprehended is God-tier comedy

soren- in a cycle of being “abandoned ”” and abandoning that he was put into and keeps perpetuating

ivor- filled with so much bitterness bc ever since a young age he felt like the world is unfair and that there needs to be “fairness

gabriel- keeps the lies going bc he feels like he is giving people someone to look up to and feel protected by, something he didn’t have when he needed it the most during the worst time of his life.

ellegaard- wants to be respected for her own merits and “be the best” but feels that relying on help invalidates what she’s done and that she needs to not be “weak” and do it herself this big grandiose thing, and make up for the lie with said big grandiose thing.

magnus- wants to “free” more than anything and he feels the most trapped in this life he’s in now

This is the scene that I was working on when my iPad died. I said I’d post it when I finished so you’d all get to see why I was so devastated when I lost it, so here you go! (No sound, I haven’t edited it to the rest of the short yet).

I had just finished inking Petra and Jessie. Luckily I had exported it as a video and saved it to my phone before the crash. So while I did have to re-trace all of the ink lines, at least I had a good reference to do it from.

I started working on this scene a little before Christmas, so it’s been about a month that I’ve been working on it (including the week where I had to scramble to get a new iPad and get caught back up again).

It’s been a rough time. This is probably the most technically challenging shot I’ve done so far. Keeping their proportions right, their feet planted on the ground, and their bodies rotating in 3D space was exceptionally difficult. Im happy with how it turned out but I’m frustrated that it probably would’ve been better had I not had to re-do so much of it due to a hardware malfunction.

There’s probably a lot wrong with it, but I honestly can’t focus on it any longer. I’m so far behind now. I really want to wrap up this short. So I just gotta cut my losses and say this is good enough and move on.

I only have a few more shots left, and hopefully they’re not as technical as this one. So here’s hoping I can finish before the end of next month if all goes well.

🤞
