Is The Best - Blog Posts

WIP and final product of my Dakota Cole drawing! He is the best boy!

I'm going to do it, I'll out all the brilliant, profound notes on my half-assed, tired and pretentious ramble.

But first, a much-needed bit of context. I was vaguely aware of some of these, and I am guilty of focusing more on the voices myself. This is because I can do a bad drawing of an aspect of an amorphous bird man and it looks a lot better than if I mess up drawing a woman. I don't draw humans well.

Some extra things in other reblogs, I can see them all and others should too, these perspectives have shaped my own:

By the way, I like the Shifting Mound more than any other character in the game. Have done for a while, I hadn't considered misogyny being a problem before this post.

Oh, for sure. That route is why I assign colours to the voices in my art. It's fun to imagine them with unique designs.

I shan't say directly what I think they'd look like properly, though, because I want to imply it.

Absolutely bizarre to me that the Princess doesn't get more love; she's amazing and charming in pretty much every iteration, and I wish I could shut those voices up half the time because they make things worse or take ages.

Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?

I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.

But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?

How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?

Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.

im very glad to exist in a world where i can eat cereal

A comic @and-watch-me-wander and I created! Based on a conversation in which I called her Satan. I did the sketch, @and-watch-me-wander​ did the lineart, and then I coloured. The succubus in the fifth panel ripping off a head is a cameo of my character Thaddeus. They wanted to vacation somewhere warm. The three-mouthed creature in the bottom panels is a cameo of @and-watch-me-wander‘s character Pierre, who is in fact wearing the French flag around his hips. As silly as the joke is, I’m very proud of this! @and-watch-me-wander​‘s linework is phenomenal, and I had a good time spitting rainbows at the screen.

Extra:

- The blue demon and the fae on his shoulder have been happily married for the last 7 years.  -The dragon’s a gossip and the lizard carries information for her.They’re best friends.  -The robed dude never wanted to be here, but the hands made him. Hung out with the wrong crowd.  - Huge guy in the back is scared of everything but he looks impressive so he’s allowed to hang with the cool bunch.  - The eyesack is a master mathematician. It blinks in binary code.  - The head is the family disappointment. He’s saying ‘uncle’ because it wants Thaddeus to stop hurting him, but also because Satan’s his uncle and he’s for some reason expecting help.  -Don’t ask about the tentacles.

listen friends. the squad loving mika. that's it.

I'll go ahead and say it. THERE IS NO BETTER DUO THAN THE ONE OF A SECRETLY POSSIBLY DANGEROUS MAN BUT SUPER CALM AND CHILL AND HIS BATSHIT MURDEROUS (extra points if she's a vampire) AND EXTREMELY DISTURBING DARK POETIC LOOKING GIRLFRIEND.

And that was the presentation on how most of how my book will 100% evolve. "I will kill you. One day. But right now I really like you. Also, you couldn't hurt a fly, although you def look like you could."
