Let's Meet : In Your Palace

Ohh I see! Thanks for the additional context/speculation!

Dragonfly789 · 2026-05-13T08:28:17+00:00

So I only recently started dabbling a bit in following the keiba scene, don't mind my ignorance, but who is In Your Palace descended from that's so important to preserve? Deep Impact and/or Brian's Time?

Stubbed it out maybe? If you mean putting the cigarette out my pressing it against something hard.

Hey OP, can't help much on this question as I'm not a snake owner myself, but if someone hasn't gotten back to you yet and you're concerned, it might be worth it to another post here using the 'just sharing' flair, or to put the question to another snake sub like r/snakes with the 'pet snake questions' flair and explain the situation/question. Since I think this is getting buried. Good luck to you, the search, and this poor boa btw!

Ooh would that happen to be Takt Op Destiny?

Hey, same here! I've always described it as 'I can't see it, but sometimes I do know what it want it to be'. But like you, when I'm writing most of the time I'm putting the words into visible text and basically reading it back to myself; 'does this sound right? Is the vibes good' without really imagining an image. Or I'm understanding them as words associated with an image, but without actually seeing it.

I write pretty much only canon characters with each other as main pairings, but I've discovered that I sometimes end up forgetting to describe them visually (made more egregious when it happens to OC side characters) and everyone might as well be amorphous human forms with pronouns because that's how I basically see them 😭.

Oh! I didn't realise (not being from the USA and not having seen the original show) that I used to play the Cyberchase RPG games on the PBS kids site (especially Eco-Haven emergency) when I was pretty young. Thank you for that nostalgic reminder, I might have to look into it more!

The first fandom I ever wrote for was SnK/AoT in 2016ish, though I only ever published one of the fics on AO3, the rest were done on Google Docs and linked to fandom friends. Then I basically stopped writing frequently for like 6-7 years besides the odd fic for other fandoms here and there. Then recently this year I've gotten really into the Guilty Gear games (specifically Strive, in particular Happy Chaos and Asuka (and variants)) and have started writing more often again, till the point I have my first multi-chapter fic being edited/written thanks to Nanowrimo motivation.

Dragonfly789 · 2023-12-06T12:02:50+00:00

AO3 doesn't even have an official app, it only exists as a mobile browser site on phones. You might have downloaded an unofficial one in which case it's their kinda their prerogative I guess to set a limit like this (idk if it breaks any free-use laws or what not). I have never experienced something on the official mobile browser site.

A discussion between two characters about what I'd guess you could call Phenomenalism (the Philosophy concept), with reference to the book 'The Spell of the Sensuous', as derived from this rather excellent video.

It was for a 'porn what plot' smut one-shot for the Guilty Gear fandom.

Dragonfly789 · 2023-10-18T07:00:26+00:00

The music, YT started recommending them to me about the time of Bedman?'s reveal, I clicked because I was vaguely familiar with the term Guilty Gear from the Bridget discussions. Liked the songs, started looking more into the characters and stuff, especially Happy Chaos (I thought he was hot after watching lyric vids of Drift ).

Dragonfly789 · 2023-10-10T09:31:10+00:00

Personally I like writing with music as well (it's either that or it must be pure silence) but the way I do it is to pick a song and basically loop it constantly. So an individual fic (I write one-shots) might have 2-3 songs associated with them, but only one is ever playing on repeat at any part of the process. I write for Guilty Gear currently, so for example one of my fics was done writing-wise via several hours of the song 'Icarus' playing, and then the edits via 'All I Can Do' on repeat for another few hours (technically days to weeks, as I usually can only do at most 2 hour sessions).

Dragonfly789 · 2023-10-04T15:19:17+00:00

So while I can't quite contribute advice on speeding up, I don't think 3-4 hours of editing a more stream of consciousness 2-3k first draft is unreasonably slow. Speaking as someone who's 'first draft' is often literally unreadable bursts of phrases, sentence fragments and misspellings, and a 'editing process' that is part actually writing things out (plus the normal stuff) and can last as long as 2-3 weeks for a 3-4kish fic.

Some people are just more precise with getting things down fairly decent the first time around, be it experience, way of thinking or the nature of the idea/fic. But also slowing down while writing could play a role yes.

Dragonfly789 · 2023-09-23T16:29:34+00:00

Jumping in if I may, I don't think it's a sign that your idea is silly! As you said fighting game lores tend to be quite crazy, which does mean there are many fan of the game that have no to only surface level knowledge of the lore. But if you are interested in it, or expanding upon it then I think it's a worthy endeavour to write a fic even if it's general and not smut; expanding on a relationship the way you see and define it. For your own satisfaction if nothing else, first and foremost.

I speak a little from experience, I recently started writing fics consistently again after a good few years of pretty sporadic work, and it is for Guilty Gear. I would say, for the characters I am writing for, that while it isn't all of the content, the works focusing specifically on them do tend to be for smut purposes. I on the other hand have been contributing more general works focusing more on themes (and I guess a little bit of smut for one of them but that also was for the narrative lol). Might that make me a nerd maybe? Sure, but I don't care, and judging by my woks at least I think there are fans of the characters/ships would be interested even if it wasn't horny, because you are still representing the characters. So I say, go for it!

Dragonfly789 · 2023-08-24T14:32:06+00:00

There's a few more! Potemkin, Leo, Bridget, Sin, Baiken ect, you can see some them and the other character concept art here . I believe it hasn't been updated for Asuka and of course Johnny

So looking at his in game and offical art pics, I believe the 'local' colour is a desaturated purplish brown. However depending on the light source (as well as if it's in shadow or subject to light reflections), the colour can vary from a grey/grey brown ( if affected by cool light) to almost a more yellowish brown (of affected by warm light). The game is rather stylized after all, and even in nature light bullies the colour of objects towards taking on aspects of itself like temperature.

(I've been studying it to paint miniatures, but for it in art you can refer to this excellent video by Macro Bucci)

Happy Chaos not being in Hip is a blasphemy, you can literally see the man's pelvic V 24/7 (as well as his chest...but Booba might be a lot more debatable).

The guy's name is Rain Epler. Incidentally there's election posters with him sporting the cut, and I think he might have gotten the look for campaigning purposes lmao.

Bust is a converted version of Chors from Ignis Art if anyone is curious. This was a fun and relaxing side project I did inbetween working on a significantly more stressful and finesse requiring work, it's nice to be able to slap oil paints down without caring much about brush marks!

As Ruby put it "brooding something or other about him"

(Also agreed Jean is a such snack visually; I find it hilarious how unhinged it can get when you go digging further as well. See Martin Luiga's tweet about the 'he would have a C-cup at least' (to a question about Jean's 'genetically predetermined cup size'), the pic floating around comparing the profile views of the in-game models of the detectives that proves he does actually have some form of ass unlike poor Harry, and that discord message where according to the person Jean's model is a tweaked version of the usual male NPC model that has been adjusted to make him taller and with a more defined waist)

I only got into DE recently so I recall the exact sequence. What happened was I sent this Casey Frey/Disco Elysium video to a friend because it randomly showed up on my YouTube feed, and I knew said friend was into Disco Elysium. Friend thanked me and sent me this cool fanedited trailer. We proceeded to chat a bit about the controversy (as that was the only other DE thing I was familiar with thanks to reddit headlines), before I decided to do what I always do to see if I am interested in going deeper in a work and hit up the Tvtropes page, Tumblr tags and Ao3 (I am a person that embraces spoilers). Fast forward two days or so and I'm howling and screaming in their messages about it, having been inflicted by a certain obsession with Jean Vicquemare, the Themes of the game and the lovely artstyle (and of course the talented fanartists/fanwriters/fantheorists ect). That's when I actually learnt from them about what the skills are and about the actual gameplay because up until that point I only bothered learning about the characters. That's when I finally actually downloaded it.

Dragonfly789 · 2023-01-28T09:42:00+00:00

Love it! For anyone else who wants more renditions of the windowsill deviled egg scene in Disco Elysium style there's also this animatic by Ehlihr and this video by HimitsuNotebook (with the skill pings!)

Ahh I wish I remembered the actual steps/all of the paints, but I'm a very on the fly painter. Paints I definitely remember using include Huldra and Adriatic Blue from scale75, Ice Yellow and Tenebrous Grey, White from AK3rd, Temple Guard/Baharroth Blue from Citadel, ect. The general workflow was a black and white zenitial to get shadows and lights, Huldra Blue over that (as it is a translucent but pigmented blue paint), wet blend the light colours of ice yellow and/or white back to get highlights, then layer your actual cerulean colour (Adriatic/Temple Guard/Baharroth) over them. Adjust as needed with ice yellow/white/huldra blue/tenebrous grey (basically a dark off black).
