Streaming idea. The first Saturday of every month I stream Portal 2 (Portal 1 or Co-op occasionally to spice it up bit). I play the whole game, beginning to end, all in one stream. I do NOT speedrun it. I play it like it's my first time experiencing it over and over again. Every month. I take the same amount of time to figure out a puzzle as I did last time. I launch myself into the nasty goo just like I did last month. Nothing changes.
You get the same rant about how much I love Doug Rattmann every month and at the end of every stream I devour a slice of black forest cake while the credits play.
Anyways, that's my pitch here's my Rattmann Playlist:
Some older art I either never posted anywhere or still think is cool or both.
1 & 2. More detailed background practice. First one is Tom from Eddsworld, the second is my bro sitting in our imaginary apartment.
3. Stupid Eddsworld doodle
4. Another background practice piece but also because I really wanted to draw my baby girl Quinton being silly in a radio room. I love them.
5. Technically concept art? It later inspired a videogame concept called Catastrophe Castle. This is the main antagonist. I use me and my friends as inspiration a LOT.
6 & 7. Pixel art I made for a silly slasher au I made of me and my friends. I randomized all of our roles and made it into a big murder mystery. It never really went anywhere, and I lost access to the account I was using to post art, but I still liked it. It was my first time really trying to do pixel art, and I had a blast.
8 & 9. More videogame concept art. It was a game called Blue Noise. It looks depressing, but it was more of a gloomy slice of life with a happy ending.
10. My design for the communicators I imagine are used in Minecraft. I know nothing about tech. I just like the idea of mashing together a lot of other technology together into one device.
List of random obscure stuff I'm fascinated with for no reason, or maybe there is a reason, but I'm too tired to figure it out:
1. Small spaces that aren't really safe given the overall environment, but that still feels safe for whatever reason. (Ex. 2D's underwater room from Plastic Beach, my own room, horror game safe rooms, the backseat of cars driving at night.)
2. The cold. Any version. The Arctic, snow in Texas, the sound of a box fan in the middle of winter. Snow. I like the cold. I like walking in it and having it surround me.
3. Blue noise. The ambiance noise. It's my favorite kind. It sounds cold. Ain't that neat?
4. Early 2000s nostalgia. This one's more understandable, considering I grew up in the 2000s. Particularly focused on the technology because young me was a big fan of the 'puter. Throw in a DS, and I'm sold.
5. Nautical stuff. I know next to nothing about sailing, but you bet your ass I love me some boats and sailors. Oh, or lighthouses and lighthouse keepers. Not so much pirates as just old people sailing boats. Make it cold and thats even better. Like that one oil rig horror game? Loved it. The ocean is cool too sometimes. Especially stingrays. Love em. You know what actually?
6. Stingrays. Funny dudes. Favorite animal. Any kind of ray, really. Mantaray, eagle ray, cownose ray... I think they're very cool.
7. Carousels. I like the pretty horses, fucking sue me. I'd like to design them, especially the ones with all types of animals. The ones on boardwalks or outside aquariums in particular are very cool because they have all the sea creatures.
I really needed to hear this
to you, it's a shitty sentence. to some random bitch 500 miles away, it's a fire line that'll haunt them for the next 17 years.
you don't know how impactful your writing is because it's been in your brain for far too long now. you've stared at it for hours and repeated "this sucks" over and over again to the point that you killed your capacity to feel anything about your work.
but trust me, once you get your shit out there, someone's gonna go over that paragraph you hate and go "jesus fucking christ" and put the book down to have an existential crisis.
This. Me desperately trying to figure out what a normal person looks like in a public setting
Do you ever feel like you are trapped in this body and your disguise has reached its limits and is becoming faulty and at any moment you're just gonna go *crack* and your body will shatter into pieces and melt away to reveal your true form
I would really like to play fetch rn. Maybe at the beach. Idk throw me a stick. Iβm just a dog

trick or treat? :3
Treat! I saw that you have an enderman and a dragon kintype so here's a grass block and a golden apple :3
It gets a little colder, and suddenly, I can see everything, I can smell everything. I can feel the wind trying to get me to come back to it. It practically screams for me to run and to keep running until I feel how I used to. I think winter grieves me. It dug a hole in the backyard that I never chose to lay down in, and now it has to watch as I try to comprehend what it knows I can't. I don't look how I'm supposed to anymore, I've changed, and it doesn't know what to do with me anymore.
A character I wrote in my short story Cowboys, Pau, is specifically only listening to bluegrass whenever music plays around him. Pau helps his community by doing odd jobs around town and cares deeply for those around him. Pau went to jail for punching a cop because he was out of line.
He's a badass cowboy of a man.
I also do! I've done it for yearssssss.
it feels so wrong to not have one T^T
