Rebloging My Vocaloid Art And Adding The Miku Tag To Test Something.

Omori bunbuns part 3! 🐰

Love this post. I've only seen two games try the TV show route (Find Love Or Die Trying and.....the other one which isn't worth mentioning) but I really hope more come out.

Also the idea of a slightly morally grey psychological experiment where at the beginning, the participants are told: "you will be lied to and deceived" is such a good set up for a vn.

Immediately, I thought of an isolation experiment where a group of people with extremely diverse backgrounds are forced to live together for an extended amount of time only for things to go south quickly and the people in the "experiment" to lose touch with the people back at home base. They don't know if this is all part of the experiment or it something actually going wrong and they have no way of contacting or getting to the outside.

"Could YTTD be a real psych experiment?”

I always think of what would happen if studies like Stanford and Milgram never happened. We’d have a lot less rules on what can be a Psychology Experiment and what can’t be. Also, we’d lack a lot of important information we know now. Or like if Phineas Gage never worked with railroads. We would never know about different lobes,, however What I thought about most, is, could games like Danganronpa or Your Turn To Die reallllllyy become a real life thing? Well, illegally of course, anything can be done illegally, but legally, potentially.  The laws on psychological experiments is that  “Ethical Guidelines for Research With Human Subjects Participation Must Be Voluntary. Researchers Must Obtain Informed Consent. Researchers Must Maintain Participant Confidentiality.” So, basically, everyone involved must of consented legally, and there must be proof of consent (ex, signed form), researched must keep confidentiality, eg, not using this outside of agreed terms. I think there is also an other rule of full knowledge on what will happen or say “you may be deceived in the test” to avoid the Milgram hack, (using actors to feign death). Which would mean, you cannot legally do a death game in a psych experiment, because you cannot actually kill people, and if you must be clear and transparent about actors, well.. how will you get the reaction to death if there is none? However,, there is a way around that. However you may not be able to do a study on real people in a real setting. You can make a tv show.  See TV shows don’t follow these rules, you can recreate unethical studies like Milgram and Stanford legally if it’s a TV show. Which is horrifying to know but for sake of argument. Great for crazy people who want to make a killing game! Of course you cannot actually kill people, but you could hire actors alongside your players to fake being murdered, you could even lie and say the tv show was fake. Aslong as you make them consent to being in the tv show, anything goes really… So who wants to get a high school girl a button to save her friend..??

Drew these instructions for this one-page zine and I figured I'd post them on their own just in case anyone finds them useful :)

character.ai scares the shit out of me for a lot of reasons. I wrote a whole essay in my English Comp class on why it's bad, not just from a generative ai perspective but from a soical perspective as well. Some people (I won't say all but a scary amount) use it as a replacement for actual human interaction. If you want to roleplay, go out there and make real human connections. This is why online communities exist. I know it might be frightening, but it's worth it!

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

OK WOW- uhhh since that little old guide is now my most popular post, let's do that again lol

I remade my old guide to drawing fire yesterday (CSP used) to make it easier to follow, but I wanna try working on a new method soon too. Have fun with it!

free resources to write a novel in 2024

hello hello! it's me, rach!

as the new year approaches, many of us set goals and resolutions - myself included. one of my goals for 2024 is to write a novel (I've been procrastinating on this for quite a long time now). i assume that some of you might have the same goal, that's why I'm writing this post today.

over 2023 i've been releasing some freebies for authors just like me, so I thought I could compile my favorites in this post. hope you find this useful :)

1) the writer's workbook

this workbook has over 60 exercises to help you develop characters, scenarios, etc. if you're ever stuck, I'm pretty sure this workbook will be your best friend.

2) author's corner (notion template)

this is the most downloaded freebie in my shop! it is a notion dashboard with everything you need to organize your writing and has some templates included (like scrivener)!!

3) another notion template

this one has two themes you can choose from: cottage-core and dark academia. they're very similar to the previous template, but this one is more recent and I added some new features. feel free to explore both and pick the one you like the most.

4) the author's journal

this is a cute printable with 20 pages that will help you stay on track and manage your social media accounts as a writer who shares their work online. you can also register what you're currently writing and your personal research and resources.

5) plan your book printable

this is a 6-page printable for you to fill out and plan your book easily and effectively.

6) excel sheet to organize tasks & word-count

this is a simple excel sheet, but it is very effective for keeping track of your tasks & word-count of your novels. also, it is 100% customizable to your liking!

that's all for now! feel free to explore my gumroad shop where I have plenty of freebies to grab! also, don't forget to subscribe so that you never miss any opportunity to get a goodie for free :)

hope this post was useful!

have a nice day,

Hay, as an artist what's your fav part of making a new oc? Is it character design? personality? Or somthn else?

This might suprise you, but personality is king for me! Most times, I start with a personality that I think would be fun for a character and build a design around that. If it's not a personality, I'm basing a character around it's a concept.....like what if Dr. Fate from DC had the personality of the Joker? Or what if there was a graffiti artist ghost?
