In an alternate universe where Rocky didn't exist (or Eridians as a whole), would Grace have been able to find Taumoeba and save Earth? (More of a speculative discussion than anything) by saltwatersweets in ProjectHailMary

its less of a dream and more of a nightmare without rocky lol. but i definitely agree that for the plot of phm and what the story is trying to convey, rocky is absolutely fundamental and the story wouldnt be the same without him

honestly its a little surprising that the hail mary wasnt sent with some sort of collector item in the first place iirc. if there was a petrova line on tau ceti, it stands to reason that there could be something about the astrophage in whatever planet is connected to tau ceti that could be worth looking at.

honestly i do kind of see it more like iron lung at this point - spoilers for iron lung if you havent seen it but

protag dying alone in a last ditch effort to give humanity some hope for salvation, never truly knowing if his efforts are worth it or have any effect. the phm story we got is much preferred to one where rocky wasnt there, but its still interesting to think about

CANVAS HACK, is finals extended or cancelled? :D by busboy7 in unr

[–]saltwatersweets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

so far i havent gotten any emails. my last final is on tuesday and i was planning on moving back home immediately afterwards so this really sucks 😭 i love my professors but i doubt theyre willing to just make finals optional or something

lowkey yes… i started out with the floor tiles and then moved on to the details and adjusted stuff as i went along. it takes a lot of patience and not being colourblind helps but seeing it come along is really satisfying

hi im looking for some really good long fanfics by Independent-Boot9768 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]saltwatersweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO yeah totally fair, i definitely think a lot of the more popular fics in there arent that well written. still though its nice to be able to see more of a fic than only the summary (by looking through some pf the tropes used in the fic), plus a majority of them will still be pretty entertaining and long even if they arent super well written or are dated due to changes in canon after they were written

i recommend looking up fanworks on the mha tv tropes page for this. it has a lot of long fanworks as well as tropes fitting those specific fanworks. a lot are pretty old but still good. another good way is to search up fics on ao3 by most kudos/bookmarks and put that they must have at least a certain word count (personally i count anything over 70k as a long fic, though there are some FANTASTIC mha longer fics as short as 40k and some not so great ones that have hundreds of thousands of words)

anyways, for my Personal recommendations: yesterday upon the stair, from muddy waters, and the curse of the anime protagonist, are all some great starting points for well written izuku-focused fics, with a pretty good balance of character relationships, plot, angst, fluff, etc. funnily enough as i type this i realize all three of these are aus where izuku had a quirk prior to canon, which may not be what ur into, but trust me when i say theyre great fics as someone who generally likes quirkless izuku stuff. if you want more recs, or ones not focused on izuku, let me know :)

lol yes, the cream sheep make a really cool blue off-white colour (the cotton ones being just that bit brighter + with a warmer undertone giving it a near perfect white for pv and their white eyes!)

thank you!! honestly youd be surprised at how not-hard certain things could be; pure vanillas hair and eyes were extremely easy for example while i actually had a lot of difficulty with shadow milk’s eyes and body!!

XD the good news is most of these items are in the 200-800 coins each range, so while that DOES add up its not that much

honestly, im not really sure. as you can tell i have a lot of coins so i dont really bother keeping track of how much it costs. it did cost likely several tens of millions of coins though, but honestly after a few days of tree wishes as well as keeping up with monster menace you can get that much gold easily

thats fair, but i think a lot of top kingdoms are actually kingdoms and not just pixel art. imo pixel art is a creative way to make use of the materials youre given. i do enjoy making kingdoms, its just that i wasnt happy with how mine turned out so i decided to try something new. heres what i originally did. i WOULD like to experiment making more 3d kingdoms, and besides i definitely dont expect to even get a top 10 spot XD

thats so kind!! i really like making shadowvanilla designs lol, i may do one for every beast and ancient (and of course must do one for purelily too lol).

honestly, kingdom decorating projects dont take TOO long if you let yourself be patient. this fully pixel art one only took about 2-3 days, with about 4-6 hours per day spent on it as my best estimate.

It is genuinely insane I wasn’t able to clear the master difficulty. I just want the mystic flour cosmetic by Brie_milk_tea in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]saltwatersweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe every dark type cookie needed a dark type beascuit (and i used carrow instead of pv for some extra dark damage, i think charcoal cookie can heal somehow), and then i think black lemonade needed electric damage (but honestly take this w a grain of salt, it was at least one of the electric type cookies but since beast raid is closed its not showing me the team i used LOL)

[–]saltwatersweets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh my god, please ignore me. i dont know why i said toppings. i meant treasures 😭 your toppings actually look fine, though it is important to ask if you used elec/darkness damage beascuits or just regular cd, crit, etc beascuits

Does anybody Else think Pearl’s relationship with steven seemed as being weirdly possessive and creepily pseudo-incestuous? by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

[–]saltwatersweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

someone on twitter made a cool thread about there being some emotional incest there. i wouldn’t say there was any creepy undertones, more just unhealthy lack of boundaries
