No not Perfect Works Build, PWB, I was referring to the book, PW. Brought it up bc they mentioned the camel mistranslation in the 2008 fan translation of PW

Some people use the term "reincarnate" for two other characters but it's literally not reincarnation at all. It's not like it's obscure lore or anything so idkw but anyway

Some people play with the idea, yeah, but there's an explainable reason it's *only* Fei and Elly

Yeah, doesn't PW call him a capybara?

More deliberate than simply a green color scheme with the yellows coming from skin tones, other scenes had yellow-orange rugs or wallpaper in the shots

lol I bet

There are so many other great shots than these that you see everywhere online, but I couldn't find em. I would've had to be at my PC to get those shots that really caught my eye

I don't know how many times I've rewatched X-Files over the years, but every time with episodes past season 2 it's like I'm seeing them for the first time again bc I've forgotten most of it all since lol

X-Files S03E05 "The List" has some beautiful lighting/cinematography. I realized pretty early on they've got a green & yellow-orange color scheme going on the entire episode. As soon as I noticed it I kept seeing it, scene after scene.
It's a color pair I wanna use in my art sometime

alright this is no surprise to anyone with any 3d art experience, but its cool nonetheless imo; Normal maps do SO MUCH heavy lifting! And they stand up to close scrutiny too - they still look great on a 4k display, which is insane given the game is i think 720p max?

Colour removed, just showing normal maps enabled (left) and disabled (right)

I keep coming back to look at this bc it's so crazy how much detail in just in the normal maps, it's like some form of black magic lol

linnaea ╮(* ´ ^`)╭ // [COMMS:CLOSED] @linnaealyn.bsky.social · 17h

It's all magic to me lol

I was a guest in the kingdom of doom
making the best of what I never wanted

#jrgaignun #赤黒・黒赤 #ガイジュニ

AO3 screenshot of an excerpt from gimme sympathy, by Elendraug. A matching set of red and black heart emoji separate the title from the text. The site skin is Reversi, a dark mode viewing option in storm grey. Ink and tattooed are both visited links.

“We were waiting for this moment.” Jr. finds Gaignun’s left hand and holds it, following the movements of his right as he stirs the ashes into their tea with the quill. “I waited a lonely lifetime.”

“You know I love you still.” Gaignun raises the feather by the rachis and upturns Jr.’s palm to trace the tea over the rightmost-aligned numeral, the ink of a nine overlaid with reclaimed blackened ash and ginger steeped alongside the burnt sienna of oxidized leaves. “When we’re together and apart.”

“Forever and forever,” Jr. quotes, as the record follows his wishes and advances to the track they’ve had in mind, as he feels the same and does the same with the red, handwritten six tattooed on Gaignun’s skin at the edge of his hand, as a renewal of their handmade handfasting. “With all my heart.”

meanwhile Fei tries his best but folds under her weight 😄

I just like the idea of them having the same body but different experiences with things based on their personality differences alone
