INSCRYPTOBER WEEK 3: OUT OF BOUNDS

I had a lot of ideas for this one, but since it took me a little longer than expected to draw this one, I decided to just do this one.

I always wanted to do a drawing with James but I didn't have any good enough ideas, this week's theme was perfect for that, one of my favorites so far

Eu tinha muitas ideias para este, mas como levei um pouco mais de tempo do que o esperado para desenhá-lo, decidi fazer apenas este.

Eu sempre quis fazer um desenho com o James mas não tinha ideias boas o suficiente, o tema dessa semana foi perfeito para isso, um dos meus favoritos até agora.

sorry for the bad english

i remember pre-downpour there were people (or maybe it was only one person?) that drew a kind of modern au where moon was in a wheelchair and i still love that idea to bits...they have service animals now too :)

Modern Carapace: O Bounty Of Thy Ribs is my 72-pg comic about a park ranger named Esther who protects giant bugs from poachers with her prototype mecha, Tarantula Hawk. You should read it!

I'm donating half of my profits to Watermelon Relief, an org dedicated to getting essential resources to displaced families in Gaza.

I get a little self conscious constantly pushing this book but I'm very proud of it, so I hope you don't mind!

I'm gonna post it and not elaborate but please listen to me that ship makes sense

Wrote a little drabble-esque thing!! Enjoy n feel free to leave comments, always makes me happy to read em :o)

ft a lil scribble I made to go with it  

I do wish there were more species under Hymenoptera that produced honey in the sheer abundance that a select few honey bees do so we didn't have to rely on them for the harvesting of honey, or even that just keeping other, native insects in such a way that is beneficial to those species and the wildlife around them was more viable for someone to just Do.

Really, I love the idea of beekeeping conceptually as something that can keep a particular species surviving and actually thriving, but it's only fully ecologically viable in the locations where those species... Are from. Otherwise the honey bees (typically European honey bees, Apis mellifera) will create an imbalance in other ecosystems, outcompeting native bees (and other nectar and pollen feeders!) and spreading diseases to them. They're undeniably important to crops, I'm not saying they're just so horribly bad, I love honeybees the same as any other Hymenopteran, but unfortunately often people feel like honey bees are the only option when that is just not the case.

PLEASE tell me your takes on the Photographer I adore them and desire the content. Thankyou.

Ah, alright! So, here:

My take on the Photographer.

I like to think that the animal bots in the area, kind of like with fishbot and lonely wizbot, are cyborg beings that were once flesh. In the wasted world (haha) of Botopia, there's no place for flesh and blood creatures. Very little safety or care is given to ensure they even have land. Much of the once wooded island is even just.. a muddy, rocky expanse.

So wouldn't the person documenting and actively collecting proof life existed want to preserve it?

I designed him based on that purpose! Those fins allow it to work almost like a sonar, sensing around the area. The horns are like the antennae on a radio, allowing the Photographer deposit photos into a drive within Botopia. Not to mention pincers along his body that work like spider mandibles, that can trap and contain prey, but seem almost incomplete.

This is because it ran out of parts eventually. That's a large reason why there's so, so little of anything left near the cabin. It used up its resources. So he could only use bits of his body to complete that work. Of course, the fellow sees no issue with that. It can still complete its work by having strung itself up inside of its darkroom alongside the vines and moss, sending out a small drone to do the work they had once done.

The Photographer could certainly make synthetic skin and allow itself to become a beast-like being.. but it values the purity of life. It trusts and loves so dearly in the flesh and blood beings it once only preserved in photos.

They deserve to be separated, at least once-

Have been on a quest to better understand insect mouthparts, here're breakdowns I did on mantis, but a lot of the basic structure applies to most insects with chewing mouthparts Here's also a very nice video that covers all adaptations and names all the individual parts:

went on the most insane grindr date of my life last night hold on

getting fixated on an object show character is so hard because it's like Okay. this character is a twist antagonist from the previous season of the show. on a surface level she is manipulative and selfish, but harbours a deep regret for her previous harmful actions that resulted in a close friendship of hers being sabotaged. she introduces herself to a new contestant, initially only helping her for her own gain, but quickly develops an emotional attachment to her as their friendship becomes less transactional and more real, but once again her own toxic behaviour sabotages the only connection she has. she's now drowning completely in her guilt and self-hatred, believing herself to be irredeemably evil.

and then someone says "oh this character is really interesting where's she from!" and you have to say Well actually. She's a

had a tweakout with the groupchat last week. tldr; jeremiah being a reference to paper jekyll sparked the theory of reggie and him being based off of jekyll and hyde which unfortunately makes too much sense

I see edgy jokes about the Inside Out emotions like "haha they'd have to endure all your grossest fetishes" or "lol what if they were stuck in a serial killer" but both films repeatedly remind the audience that these beings *are* you and vice versa, sharing all your inclinations. No matter the depraved atrocities befouling your putrid soul I'm afraid it is established canon that those little Pixar Muppet people held a hilarious meeting about it and decided by popular vote that it was an exciting and productive direction to steer your wretched existence. Fool.

I really hate that so many people can't tell a difference between "lost media" and "commercially unavailable media".

Like there's a TV tropes article that calls the SNES Lion King game "lost media".

No? We have ROMs and there's carts on ebay?

But it's no available in the Nintendo Switch store, so it's "lost media".

Like, don't get me wrong, the fact that there's so many games (especially Nintendo console games!) that you cannot legally purchase right now is definitely a problem, but it's a mostly separate problem from lost media, which is where there's no archived versions anywhere, and it's potentially completely lost.

Had to check and its been ~3 months since my last canonical ask (forgot to sign one)

Sooo how we thinking about Irving and the Scrybes interacting? Like it makes sense they would've done so but also Wild innit

-🥊

Oh it’s absolutely WILD to me, especially because I cannot imagine Irving would get along with any of them. He’d appreciate their devotion to the game, sure—no problem with them whining about reassignments, so less work for him—but… they’re still The Scrybes From Inscryption. He’d get annoyed with Magnificus’s insistence on “perfection” (which, in Irving’s eyes, is completely inconsequential but he knows better than to tell Magnificus he doesn’t know what he’s talking about), frustrated with Leshy’s pedantic mannerisms (though at least Leshy keeps to himself), irked by P03’s not-so-hidden intent to bring all of Inscryption somewhere else beyond the Gameworks, and Grimora… honestly I think he’d just find Grimora unnerving.

The James Cobb situation must have happened pretty early on in Inscryption’s development though—I can’t imagine that Irving would be able to send anyone in or out once the floppy disk had been buried (not to mention that Leshy had taken over during that point, putting yet another barrier in addition to the several feet of dirt).

Inscryption to me seems like the one corner of the Gameworks universe that no one really wants to talk about, they’ve just heard absolutely bonkers rumors about the people there and have to suppress a shudder. Except the rumors are 100% true and oftentimes worse because no one in Inscryption can behave.

silly

i'm so happy when i see him <33333

I hate being a person who loves bugs, I can't say anything without the person I'm talking to reacting with disgust. Today I had to literally beg a coworker for the life of a spider, and then after I put it in a nook outside she thought it'd be funny to show me a video she took of her killing one. Like idk man. Birds scare the shit out of me but I still get why people love them. They come in pretty colors and they sound nice and they're interesting to observe. I don't understand why people don't feel the same about bugs. The rich amber color of a cockroach, the iridescent glow of a fly, the intricate hydraulics that power their little legs, the chirp of a beetle, the art of the spider's web... It's all so beautiful. Why is it the habit of so many to destroy?

there’s nothing shameful about making things easier or more accessible for yourself btw.

if your disability means you can rarely/never cook so you have to order out a lot, or buy precut ingredients, or if you need other people to help you cook even “simple” meals.

if your disability means you struggle with personal hygiene so you don’t shower standing up, or don’t brush & floss “correctly” or long enough, or put up your hair when you can’t handle brushing it.

if your disability means you’re not able to engage in your hobbies in a “normal” or “correct” way. if you have to watch movies multiple times because your brain fog is making it hard to follow the plot. if you need accessibility tools to be able to draw or paint. if you have to do everything from bed.

you’re not doing anything bad or wrong. you’re being kind to yourself and caring for yourself in the ways that you’re able to. it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Hey yeah sorry we took your freak of a boyfriend and destroyed him. Yeah he’s split between two bodies now. Yeah he’s mostly robot now and trapped inside one. His teacher hates masochists so he got sold off for a ginger, sorry about that. No we can’t get him back, his body is trapped within a card and his head got burnt to a crisp by the robot he was stuck inside. Sorry

i did the thing

It’s like . Shaky drag from my cigarette . Vallamir’s possession of Irving’s corpse is meant to be read as unhealthy coping, the idea that reclamation is always a surefire way of healing when all it does in this case is trap him in a part of the past that he needs to step away from if he wants to truly grow. Depoliticizing and desecrating Irving’s image by wearing it as a costume to suit his own survival doesn’t make him feel any better despite what he claims. Vallamir is actively dying in there, growing weaker the longer he stays put— to the point that he’s too malnourished to leave at all. Do you understand? He’s never once existed as himself in a state that is free of confinement, and yet confinement is something he seeks because it’s familiar. And that’s comforting. Irving is something that he knew. That’s comforting. He can use his hatred and frustration and anger towards the deceased admin to mask everything as a crude, distasteful form of revenge, but there’s no fruitful outcome in the long run. Do you understand? Do you get it? He’s used to being written off as something to hate, so the easiest route to take is to carry on in the flesh of something that also harbored hate. Do you see it? Whatever.

shout out to disabilities which only exist in fantasy.

Robots who carry around heavy battery packs because there inbuilt ones can no longer hold enough charge.

Shark girls who have pumps over one of there gills because they can't continuously swim fast enough to receive enough water through there gills.

bird girls with prosthetic wings.

creature wearing climbing gear because they were born without the ability to telepathically fly around.

Peridot

non-telepaths (in a world of only telepaths) constantly having to explain to angry people berating them because they assumed that the person is a telepath.

They both add a depth of realism to a universe and another perspective for abled bodied audiences to understand what its like to be disabled and are also fun.
