Honestly that might be even more dangerous than being owned by someone actively malicious lmao

"...how much water do you little peeps need again...? The fuck is a millilieter...? It's gotta be like a few drops, right? Oops-"

"They've got like... tiny lungs, right? How much air could they need?"

I'm a whole day late buuuut... I'm thinking a late-2000s pop-punk album from a band that's skirting juuuust along the edges of making a full transition to metal, with the only thing stopping them being interference from their label.

Gotta admit... this might be the most intrigued I've been by something all day, especially knowing that your explanations and explorations of such things tend to be excellent, in both concept and delivery

Her personality really is just so perfect for such a wide variety of scenarios, and there's juuuuust enough excuses for it within so many different versions of DC canon that turning her into one is incredibly easy. Just... perfect fuel.

...y'know, as soon as my brain recovered from seeing this pop up in front of me, my first thought was "Oh, Ruby's melting everyone's little brains again, all is right with the world for the start of the weekend."

And my *second* thought was "...this would make a dope album cover, actually."

...oh this is EXACTLY my kind of fucked up, this is incredible. That's a hell of a way to spice up a slow Saturday, hell yeah

We are ASTROnomically[...get it? Because stars... ehe.] late thanks to the ever present unanticipated tech issues, but we're now live, with more Star Rail catch-up! I... have absolutely zero memory of what's coming up next. ...oh god-
www.twitch.tv/tkfromthe90s

Alrighty, going live a lot later than usual, at abooouuut 1AM Eastern. Which, of course, means a shorter stream than usual, targeting about three hours or so. See ya then, with more Star Rail catch-up!

...that was more detail than I realized I was writing oops-
Oh well. Decisions made on an exhausted mind.

...that pink skull might look "silly" at first, like a joke or a mockery almost... till they see exactly how it got that way.

...plus it would just be cute as hell, wouldn't it?

...until the paint got all stained with something else. It was supposed to be a real clear way to tell some little folks exactly what was waiting if they didn't get outta the way, but too many missed the message. And now, they've gone and made it even scarier for all their friends. After all...

Hm. Hell of a question to see on my way to sleep... well, might as well use that sleepiness to get dreamy.

A pair of black boots, small platform, with a thick, patterned tread on the bottom and a "silly" little pink skull painted onto the tip of the sole. A pink skull that used to be plain white...

...so I'm a day late but holy hell did I not expect to get sniped through my screen when I opened BlueSky tonight.

That's.
Wow.
Yeah.
Saaaaaaame feeling.

One of the appeals is just... the idea of that slow realization over time that fretting and being so cautious has *become* completely futile.

Well, if you're sure I wouldn't be taking up too much of your time, I'm happy to embrace the loredump! My DMs should be open, I think?

There's so much implied with just that combined with what I remember hearing about before, so those are plenty for my brain to chew on for a while lmao

...okay I GOTTA hear more about this particular one

...oh this one is... gonna rest in my mind for a *long* time, holy hells. You've got one hell of a creative voice for this sort of thing, I tell ya

Maximizing entropy so hard that physics itself has a stack overflow error and wraps back around to no entropy-

...y'know what, a Ruby-Brand Homogenizing sounds like EXACTLY the right way to start a Sunday night, so hell yeah

...first of all I think reading those two words together hit a reset button somewhere deep in the recesses of my brain

Second of all OH MY GOD

Third of all this is a fucking wonderful thing to see on a Friday night

Kem, the beautiful brain that rests in your skull, the hands that brain directs-

A little[LOT] later than usual this time, thanks to the ever-tormenting curse of "forgot to charge all the stuff I need to stream." Oops! Anyway, more HSR story catch-up shenanigans! Surely we'll make some substantial progress this time... r-right? www.twitch.tv/tkfromthe90s

A map of two halves of an oval world surrounded by a polar ring. on the right, a single continent with massive mountains and a variety of environments. On the left, three main continents with many island chains. Each continent is its own sub-region: jungle, cold arid steppes, a volcanic island in the center, and a cold marsh with plateaus

It's doooone. One of the largest projects I've been lucky enough to work on. This was a new continent commished for a west march. Only one side has markers because of story reasons. Hope you like it 🌈😊

Life has become significantly less busy, so we're live again with another Star Rail catch-up stream to help me be *slightly* less nightmarishly behind on the game's story! Oh god help me- www.twitch.tv/tkfromthe90s

Well now I GOTTA know: do you have a preference among the classic inspirations, or do you lean more to the modern ones?

...there is something so wonderfully entrancing about the way you convey scale and power in your clips and pics. Possibly pure cinematography, possibly some understanding of the way we perceive scale, but something about it is always so impressive, so captivating.

Exceptional, as usual.

Second time seeing this and STILL completely speechless, zero intelligent thoughts in my head

..."damn." Sometimes simplicity just hits.

...either that or it's the fact that I've been up for 18 hours and haven't slept, who could know!

...the body itself recognizing the power difference so fundamentally, so completely, that as soon as some poor little thing crosses the threshold, it's already dead.

But instead of any long train of thought related to any of that, the only thing my mind keeps coming back to is... 2/3
