Charlotte, so sheltered and privileged she doesn’t think about consequences bc she never got any. THIS is the enemies-to-lovers shit I want where fucking doesn’t change their realities, they still have to deal with it and each other. 😤

I love writing morally gray fiction. I love seeing my readers conflicted on who they should root for bc none of my protagonists are squeaky clean! Charlotte is fun and cute but she promotes an authoritative imperial State. Ernest is a “the ends justifies the means” guy. Now that’s delicious drama!!

Some person quoted me saying gray morality leads to fascism bc right and wrong are blurred and ppl get sympathetic for the bad guys???? Gray morality in fiction encourages critical thinking. Believing everything is either Good or Evil is how you get ppl enforcing censorship and thought crimes shit.

I rewatched FMAB, what I kept noticing is how it kept pulling punches and sticking with a clear cut morality. It’s shonen, this isn’t crazy but it’s a stark contrast to 2003 where even Armstrong is morally gray. Yes I’m still annoying over this. Old anime hit different, man

Finished the rewatch and also the movie (the one time I defend isekai lmao), my take away is how it holds up so much better than I remembered and it hits DIFFERENT now like jfc. It’s cruel, it’s honest, and it isn’t glamorous. Explains a lot of my tendencies in my own writing oops

Daniel’s not a prude bc he’s ace, he’s a prude bc that’s a level of intimacy/trust that terrifies him

I’d like to learn blender someday but me learning any new program is like pulling teeth if the learning curve is too steep right at the start. If I can’t figure out the basics in a day then rip

It’s been 90+ degrees and it won’t let up… it really be like this frfr #unDivine

Maybe looking specifically for “slow burn” romances will help. I just need some decent amount of plot to make me want to see characters get together, not what ends up being as thin as the reasoning in the song “Sk8er Boi” I’d rather deal with too little than too much smut yknow…

I think I have to give up reading 🌶️ books bc The appeal was the added drama and character development those scenes bring but the plot end up being set dressing for the smut. Like I read a trilogy that ended with them ONLY kissing and I was SO MAD but!! It had a plot!

Screw it I deleted the post. It did the opposite of shooting a gun to keep rent low 🤦

I’ll block accounts following me when I see it’s some random political account following 1000s of others. Only follow me if you sincerely want to see my silly/horny OC drawings pls

Another yt essayist I enjoy just posted a new vid and I think he’s criminally underrated so look 👁️👁️ his video editing goes hard every time, it’s ridiculous youtu.be/HvKRkB6X4_w

I wanted to draw Charlotte in something other than a usual bikini… so this is technically a one piece #ClawShot

Downside of my protagonists being m/f ships is ppl complaining why they’re all straight yet the only actual straight one is Charlotte, the rest are some flavor of queer. It’s bc I’m bi and I want to draw eye candy of both, I’m minmaxing. >:U

istg if there’s one thing I learned about game companies it’s to never get acquired, never go public, don’t ever sell out. It always ends with “-and then the parent company fired everyone working there and locked the IPs in a vault” Obviously cataclysmic rn but this shit is as tale as old as time

Dopamine rush after seeing one of my fav yt essayists post a 2.5 hour vid about another old Sierra videogame ٩( ᐛ )و

If I lock in I could probably get this comic page done by tonight 😤 My attention span:

I love these bc I end up learning very specific facts! I don’t watch enough movies to do this but I can with BG drawings. “That door frame has no hinges and opens in the wrong direction” “those windows aren’t inset & water will seep thru” “the stair’s steps are too tall for standard building codes”

This is the best film complaint I’ve ever seen

*looks up if a bad idea I want to do in Unity is impossible* oh sweet, it’s possible. :) Now time will tell if it’ll actually hinder performance or just be annoying to deal with bc it’s impractical.

I grew up in a predominately Latin city (over 90%) so this kind of antagonizing anime/manga wasn’t actually a thing or more specifically, it got lumped in with other cartoons. Even then, stuff like DBZ/Yugioh wasn’t niche BUT the concept of fandom culture as it is now wasn’t a thing.

Zero Utopia@zeroutopia.bsky.social · last wk.

Genuinely impossible to make people understand how much most the United States in the 90s hated and looked down on anime if they didn't live through it.

gonna start carrying around a spray bottle so whenever I see someone say “[Old Game] needs to get a remake!” I’ll spritz them! Saw ppl saying Vagrant Story should get a remake and that has to be the most gorgeous PS game I’ve ever seen. I’m not even a fan of the game and I’m mad seeing the comments

Vague posting about Charlotte, my most unreliable narrator~

I get comments asking about Manny and if he’s in the game sometimes. He is, but it’s neat seeing he still has a dedicated fan club. The comments on Ch5 as it updated were funny for lots of reasons and a bunch was ppl debating who they should root for to win: Dan or Manny? >:3

I’m getting nostalgic for my first webcomic again #undivine

Worst character in Until Dawn is Ashley. She outright kills another character out of pettiness and instigates the death of another. Mild Hot Takes from me again in the a.m.

Switching to Obsidian now for my writing app, it’s been a long time coming that I finally ditch Craft. Such a shame bc I started using it literally soon after it launched but in the years since it got enshittified, as all tech startups do. Now I’m suspicious of vibe coding caused bugs so rip 🫡

Rewatching FMA 2003 after well over a decade since last time and I’m realizing just how influential it was for me at 13yrs old, stuff like burying the lede and misdirections, plus the juxtaposition of silliness and graphic horror. Hot take: I **PERSONALLY** think it’s superior to the canon.
