Huevember day 30
good ol reliable bird man design.
Okay okay this will not go away so
The Hermits ranking how weird they are right
And Impulse talking about his inverted mouse controls and how Skizz also uses inverted controls because they both played the same war game
Where Impulse was the helicopter pilot
And Skizz was his gunner
And I just.
In a fictional version of Hermitcraft, Impulse the demon soldier of wars long won or lost but either way forgotten going 'you know what, it's nice here, it's calm and fun and beautiful and the chaos is always tempered by love no matter how destructive it gets, I should bring my friend.'
And his friend Skizz- an angel, the opposite of him in every way, an enemy turned ally turned something like brother but the word brother does not and cannot truly encompass what they have become to one another over millennia- says, 'will they want me?'
'Of course they will.'
'I can't create. I never could.'
'That's not what it's about. Come on, come see it. Come be with me where there are no guns. Come fly again.'
And these two old soldiers, one guiding the other into a circle of people who will trust and care and treat him like a person, not a weapon. Who will laugh at his antics and love him just as he is, as Impulse came to love him.
Just fucking. Impulse and Skizz, both with ancient scars, building new things together just like they promised one another they would when everything was dust and blood and this- this is their happy ending, and they share it with people who don't have a clue, and its perfect.
2 things I've found very helpful as an uneducated american when I'm working on characters who're from countries I'm not very familiar with:
1. Look up "[country] online art gallery". This is great for getting ideas of how to draw/stylize people of that ethnicity without unknowingly dipping into racist stereotypes. Landscape art, particularly of streets, is also great for getting a feel of the country that doesn't have the "impoverished undeveloped/untouched simple living" bias you get a lot of when you're looking at pages aimed more at north american/british tourists
2. Go to that country on google maps, pick a spot in some random town/city, and just wander around in google street view. This part is also for getting the vibe of what the country is like visually, and in addition you're going to see way better examples of what the average person living there looks like (peoples faces are usually blurred in streetview, but often visible in photospheres), and typical clothing, than searching "[country] people"
Also, the firefox extension "TWP translate web pages" translates web pages in real time, directly on the site, no hassle. If you use that, Google translate to change your search query into the country's primary language, and change your search region (option right under the search bar in duckduckgo, don't remember how to in google sorry) you can search for and read pages that are actually from that country. I use that all the time when I want to research more specific things.
Very helpful things to add to your other research
BALLROOM BLITZ!
I've been so excited for pearl's [redacted] club arena that I started this before she released the episode (I ended up having to rework some things to add etho lol) but it was SO COOL!! The ballroom is one of my favorite builds from her :D
