Peridots-nonsense - Blog Posts
Aughhhh why do I never set reminders for things. Anyway happy day-late tenth birthday to Dishonored :)
For whatever number of you actually pay close attention to my nonsense posts I think I’ve officially decided to make an effort to Reblog Things. I’ll still have my art tag (peridots-art) along with hopefully soon adding a reblogs tag (peridots-reblogs), so if you’re here purely for the art posts you can just block the latter or solely scroll through the former
ONE OF MY POSTS. IS ON MY DASH. BY WHICH I MEAN A BF/HK-RENOWNED ARTIST I HAVE KNOWN AND ADMIRED FOR ROUGHLY A YEAR AND A HALF NOW HAS REBLOGGED IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S THE ONE FROM A YEAR AGO
HES BEEN SPOTTED
so it turns out not imposing a deadline for yourself for no reason actually. makes the thing you're doing more enjoyable
Finally downloaded Dishonored 2 on a whim and am Excited
I find it funny how in the Stray fandom right now, one character (Guy A) is being shipped with two different people (Guy B or Guy C), which is obviously otherwise normal in any media that involves more than two unrelated characters, except Guy B is Guy C's dad. Neither side of shippers has acknowledged the other's presence and both are equally prevalent
it's my first tumblr birthday already. here's to another year of hellsite nonsense
Tricking cool people into interacting with me by complimenting them and drawing their characters
Since for some reason I didn't start from the beginning I think I'll post them one at a time when I get to ten attacks (7/10 at the time of writing this), and then I'll post one a day! Art Fight has been taking up a majority of my time (I'm drawing way faster than previously thought possible), hence the inactivity, and I'm trying to finish one attack every day!
I feel like I was supposed to post this earlier but I have an ArtFight
On a related note I may have played Dishonored more than Hollow Knight and Bug Fables combined
Just got every achievement in Dishonored!!
Besides the Dunwall City Trials. We don't talk about those
It has only been five hours,
Back at it again at [comparing my favorite video games]
Hollow Knight and Dishonored spoilers below the cut:
--
Dh1 Corvo and Ghost:
-Silent protagonists who gain void-related powers to help them progress. Only the first power is actually required to beat the game, though the others make it much easier.
-Magical abilities are gifted at least partially by a black-eyed god
-Have close relations to a ruler who died after trying to save their kingdom from a pandemic. The sickness is not well understood, even after extensive research, and was brought by a usurper who was jealous/envious of the ruler's power. All attempts at containing the sickness failed, but it's (implied to be) cured in some endings
-The kingdom they leave for a while after the pandemic begins, re-enter, and then traverse is not doing so well, and the vast majority of its inhabitants try to kill them. Many of said inhabitants have lost their minds from the aforementioned disease
-Can kill the usurper late in the game
-Can kill rich people
-Most of their allies die. Can kill allies themselves
-Friends with a kind old dude serving as their main method of long-distance transportation (kind old dude does luckily not die)
-Despite being almost perpetually in contact with it, never actually get the sickness. Their biology (possibly-genetically-immune-serkonan, hollow void being) likely prevents it
-Worlds probably take place in the same time period (according to fans anyway; most human AUs I've seen of HK are at least somewhat inspired by victorian england)
-The name of one popular ship in each of their fandoms involve weapons?? One person in the ship is red, associated with the person who brought the disease, and can be killed by the protagonist (though in HK's case, both members apply to these criteria)
-Their empires/kingdoms call themselves the only ones when there clearly are more civilizations out there

Dh2 Emily and Hornet
-Protagonists of sequel games, major characters in the first games and close relatives of the first game's protagonists
-Daughters of royalty and trained to fight (likely from a young age)
-Heirs to the throne of the first game’s kingdom/empire but can’t actually become queens/empresses because Sequel Game Plot gets in the way
-Technically they can die in one of the first game’s endings but no one regards it as canon
-I haven’t actually played Silksong (duh) or Dishonored 2 yet though so this list may get much longer
was playing the Knife of Dunwall again guess what happened
Fun thing I learned today: wielding a foot-long knife while listening to Radiance by Christopher Larkin causes an intense desire for violence
Though it’s been a year since I was active in that fandom I do have the urge to draw WoF stuff, I just don’t know how to cater to my newly found “everything has to be anatomically accurate” side without thoroughly disregarding canon
Ok it's been two months and I haven't finished any of the three things related to it that I've been working on for two weeks and am also impatient so it's Dishonored. Dishonored is the new hyperfixation
Maybe it's a bit unexpected for the bug games artist, but I rented it around six years ago and only got to the flooded district, I've been occasionally wondering about it since, so I bought it December 31st and now I'm midway through the Brigmore Witches with half the achievements and a Clean Hands run completed
the joy of finally discovering how to draw feet in a way that isn't just Flesh Slab
Really happy rn about the Leif art and uh. let me just say that all of the nice things people said in the tags mean so much to me!! This is like the most I've got on any one post and even if it's just like "cool" I will be thinking about that for 9 years!!
(Also worth noting that even if I'm not great at actually communicating with people, I like talking about my hyperfixations and I'm always willing to draw something as a request or whatever (might take a bit though!))
Hyperfixations are so weird because I can scroll past an intensely detailed and awesome piece of art someone took a week to make without a second thought cause it was for a fandom I'm not part of, so I'm not interested. And then you can show me a 15 pixels wide, blurry picture of a random wasp or a fork with eyes drawn and I'll go YES. BEAUTIFUL. LOVE THEM
thanks for all the like spam :) /gen, it’s flattering!
Yw!!
Your art is very nice to look at (I particularly like the paintings and color schemes? I don't know exactly how to be specific haha) and deserves appreciation :D
leif and caramelldansen have the same birthday and I missed it
