@froggoexists as judged by Tumblr, you are now legally allowed to stop me whenever I decide to commit an act of treason against my heritage. sad

Part 6 - Part 7 Here

Extras. (Including some of the “meta” stuff I mentioned--much shorter than the other posts)

Extras/Misc

i want to add him…

---Quirrel

He/him

Iridoviral Armadillidium vulgare

Traveller, Terrestrial 

A pillbug. He's just Quirrel, a friendly adventurer who's good with a nail.

...Maybe keep him away from the bay. And the jellyfish.

Service: None

(jk that's ✨intellectual property✨ and i'll ✨have to ask permission✨)

--History...?

So far, the only known lore regarding this subject is that most vertebrates (currently, Grek and Genni being the only exceptions, as Tan’s host has been dead since the frog went into hiding. The bodies of most other dead organisms have been reduced to bones) have gone extinct some undescribed quantity of time, and many terrestrial bugs have moved to the shores during this (giving a chance to finally reconcile with their amphibious crustacean kin), though nowadays life further inland is no longer uninhabitable. The vertebrate die-off is possibly due to radiation caused by humans inland, as insects such as cockroaches seem to be less negatively affected by it--or this is simply the reason for the invertebrates' migration towards the sea.

--Quests

Reunion (Main Quest, Ceras)

A Meal of Great Elegance (Genni)

Prosthetics (Bem)

Ballad of Copi, which shall go unnamed (i can't think of a real name lol)

Sisters Estranged (Allibel and Sepinti) 

Track Down the Beast (Beowi) (the Beast being Genni)

--Dialogue

Fess: Ceras!

F: Come back in soon or else I'm eating all the anemone without you!

Ceras: You wouldn't!

(... (Ceras doesn't come back inside and continues doing Whatever They Doing.))

F (after some time passes): Ceras, I'm serious! The rip current's coming back soon and I don't want you to be caught in it!

C: Alright, fine, in a second!

()

C: ...Did it just get quieter?

: Wait.

: Oh no.

(~rip current time~)

(...)

Lidii: What even is that?

Rantan: Obviously a sea slug, Lidii.

Gorge: Yeah, it's an aeolid nudibranch, Lidii.

Rantan: How--

Lidii: Well, I'm gonna eat it. It's obviously dead, and doesn't seem like either of you want to.

(Ceras arises.)

Lidii: Oh!

Rantan: 'Obviously dead', huh?

(Ceras looks around, the two insects look at them.)

Lidii: ...Is it sentient?

--Soundtrack

(Taranoake Theme)

(Citadell Theme)

Turn Up the Tymbals, Bring On The Beat! (One of Sepinti's themes)

Renin (Renin flashbacks, much more jovial than WfR)

Waiting for Rain (current Renin theme, has Renin's leitmotif, but slower/more melancholy)

Drew this with the eight true gods of Myrialore (the area which MM/Mostly Mollusk takes place in, encompassing Taranoake, Citadell, Kelsik, Renin and Anemone Reef among others) to figure out their personalities and relationships a bit more

(It is Very Messy but I don't care :D)

Interestingly, the new flower god (Solif) is the only one not native to Myrialore and was instead created through the collective belief mostly of bees, wasps, beetles and assorted colonies further inland.

old man who trapped me in his cabin and made me play card dnd with him

hey! in the midst of all this, spreading this information could potentially save LOTS of folks out there in protest! it costs Absolutely NOTHING to share. the original thread is on Twitter by strwbrrymew. the link to the thread is here, it contains more important information to note, including a video about how to do a proper eye flush should someone be teargassed.

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Gabriel and V1 from Ultrakill in super-saturated, pixellated colors. It seemingly takes place during phase two of his second fight, judging by Gabe's bright yellow-cyan wings and the consequent blush shining through his helmet. Gabriel is pictured on the left, facing the left side of the screen with his head turned to V1, preparing to strike them with the bloodied spear in his right hand. Small but frequent splatters of blood dot his armor and outstretched wings, fabrics torn through in places. V1 is on the right, aiming its piercer revolver at his face. Their arms are stacked in pairs on either side, idle Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster on the left and Whiplash tucked atop their default arm on the right. Both parties are stylized to resemble insects, Gabe with beetle wings and a halo in the shape of antennae, and V1 with the four wings, four arms, short antennae and bristles expected of a dragonfly. End ID]

woah.... happy 1 year anniversary to gay people

also a couple alts (background removed, just gabe, and just v1, respectively) in hopes it'll be a little easier to understand what's going on and all!

additionally once again: special thanks to @magnumopos and @muzzleroars , neither of which I have actually spoken to in my life but both of which are credited with partially inspiring this! (dedicated section under the readmore due to the fact I do not generally tag people at all ever and wasn't sure if I should, but thought it was worth mentioning!) The former for giving me the wonderful idea of dragonfly V1, the latter for drawing V1 like a strange little creature + for the feedbacker plate, I enjoy both your works :]

(retroactively, on march 27th of 2024, assigning them a full bingo with credit to deep-space-lines. ehehehehe)

[Start ID. The ending screen of the ULTRAKILL level P-2: Wait of the World. It was completed on Standard with a D rank, with 43 minutes and 47.094 seconds in time, 3020 style, and 59 restarts and kills both. The ranking board is blacked out so OP's steam username isn't shown, and on the other side of the screen the stats are unusually absent, indicating this is OP's first time beating the level. End ID]

sorry for showing up to liveblog ultrakill and then abandoning tumblr for five days in a row. It will happen again

I play the body electric.

Several years ago, I first ran into @peridots-pixiwolf on tumblr, back when Hollow Knight had all but consumed my life.

Last year, despite the fact we don't really talk much, Peri remembered and made me a sweet gift art to commemorate the event.

I may be an eldritch horror, but my heart's as hard as applesauce- happy pal-iversary, friend. I hope it keeps up a while longer!
