Pinned post tiem!

hello! I'm niac.

I'll be honest, I'm mainly making this for the links at the end. also... expect a lot of fancomics and related shenanigans here

here are the "fandom tags" you can expect on my posts reblogs

As for the explanations for these tags:

  • The Commewnity is a group of people (and also a group of blogs) that have pokémon worlds/comics/etc that are heavily centered around Mews and Mewtwos (...and other legendaries from time to time)
  • "The Chain" is a pun... because a chain is made of a lot of Links. yeah it's my tag for all of those comics where different Links (from the Legend of Zelda) get to meet.
  • The "trainwrecks and gutpunches" thing is just for those tumblr-special posts that just get better and better (worse and worse) with each reblog

If you're interested in the Commewnity and would like to dive in, but don't know where to start, do I have the post for you!https://almostcertainengineer.tumblr.com/post/740883929564889089 It contains a bunch of links and simple explanations for the worlds I know the most about. If you read the description for one blog, you should be up to speed, and be able to understand if you start by reading the posts posted... at the end of january 2024. oops. There's a second post linked there, but that one's far more spoilery, and I honestly recommend actually reading the comics, they have repeatedly managed to make me cry. (I mean that in the best way possible.)

...also: other tags I try to keep around (this is mainly a note for myself):

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

May I present to you, nationalclothing.org?

It doesn't have everything, but it's still my first source when researching traditional clothing from other cultures.

There's also this resource on historical fashion: Claire’s Historical Fashion Reference & Resources

another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this

here are some resources for Indian clothing archives:

Purushu Arie's blog; started when he was studying at NIFT, the blogger has gone on to become a leader in the neo-traditional fashion scene in India.

if anyone knows more please add links !

Big TMA Pokémon AU sprite dump

in Pokémon: Iris, you play as Jonathan Sims, a new research assistant for professor Magnus in the Galar region. But Magnus’s keeping secrets, and it doesn’t really seem like you’re researching the same things…

As references, I used the HgSs sprites for the overworld sprites, Hilbert for the vs sprite, and Wally’s Emerald back sprite bc he has a really non-confidant look that I thought fit Jon

Edit: I just realized that after several hours working on this his collars the wrong color in the vs sprite… I’m never drawing anything again

I want to apologize for confusion caused by my duel-blog posting for the last while.

I tried to make it so that anything specifically Linden-relevant thus far is reblogged to my main, but if anyone wants to makes sure they're caught up, you could peek into @trials-of-vj.

Going forward I'll be reblogging everything here until the Lindens leave Shadegrove. Hopefully that'll be a comfortable workaround! ^^

SYSTEM, Is the delay between us sending messages and them receiving consistent?

If it is, there's a possibility of using the notifications to send morse code messages.

The main application of this would be to maybe warn the group when Alpha is in view of the camera.
