[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “do not stand at my grave and weep” after the poem by mary elizabeth frye. the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

I haven't the slightest clue what's going on here but I'm a fan of the general unhinged energy

Funnily enough I prefer YOUR Tali over bioshocks in ME3 I think? She actually properly looks like an alien from a planet where they didn't adapt an immune system
thank you! (and lol I'll assume you meant Bioware-- although a steampunk-aesthetic Tali is a very cool mental image.)
some things about how my Tali looks are definitely a result of living nearly her whole life sealed inside an exosuit and dealing with regular bouts of minor illness (at one point she mentions working while having a fever like it's something quarians just deal with). Pre-exile quarians, and post-canon quarians who have had some time to get re-acclimated to their home planet's ecosystem, would look a bit different. I did a couple lil sketches to hypothesize about some differences between my Tali during the games' timeline, and a post-canon Tali who's spent a few years on Rannoch:
there's no place like home.
(the spots of pigment on her face are made more colorful, and even softly bioluminescent, by harmless symbiotic bacteria found only on Rannoch. After the quarians fled into space after the Geth War, the bacteria died out in a generation; for over two hundred years, the only quarians with colorful faces were ancestors in old vids and pictures.)
It's so goddamned funny that originally if you reached sans fast enough via a speedrun it would trigger the most Agonizing and Excruciatingly slow cutscene of Sans eating an ice cream cone accompanied by circus music. Completely unskippable 01 minute and 30 seconds of sans gulping it down sloppy style. as your consequence for speed running Undertale
Thank you for adding the video @shubbler

See, first off, this is the first I'm hearing of people not particularly like his backstory. Is it a tumblr fandom thing? That's sort of neat.
Secondly, I LOVE Cradle as a character. I love how smarmy he is, I love how he plans to blackmail and extort EVERYONE he meets, and I love his stupid hand puns.
I think he serves a lot of purposes, but I think I'll stick to just 3 for brevity's sake:
- He's the analogue to Victoria's worst impulses and desires that she never acts on. Manipulating people onto his side just to secure his position, cutting himself off from all his support when he needs it most because it might impede him, and chasing after the cause of his trauma for pure revenge. There are pieces of this seen in Diary!Victoria for sure, but Victoria has moments where she wishes that she could just have Amy gone, but never acts on it.
- He's meant to be everything that Victoria thought Tattletale was... and Tattletale thought the same. The story puts a LOT of emphasis on Tattletale clearly having sympathy for the cluster and how she highlights Cradle as the "sane, stable one" multiple times. Even when he's going to chop her into pieces, she tries to reason with him, and he shuts that down instantly now that the mask was off. Which is fitting because HIS thinker power is the fanon!version of Tattletales, able to see weakness in people, and that aided his ability to mold himself into someone she WANTED to see (also helped by clusters messing with her power). The way he planned to use March as a manipulated scapegoat is close to exactly how Victoria imagined Tattletale swayed Taylor and Foil to "the dark side", even.
- He's a fascinating exploration into a different kind of relapse than Amy. Amy relapsed because of her inability to face her guilt and acknowledge the consequences of her actions are not hers to control anymore. She ultimately finds a path to therapy by having Flashbang (with Sveta/TT/Vic helping) and Darnall get her into a position where she has to hold those realities in her mind as a responsible human being. Cradle is the opposite. He knows what he wants to do is wrong. Not just in how he plans to torture Rain to death or betray his teammates, but that he plans to purposely harm everyone who's in his way to do so. And he's fucking smart enough to know how to manipulate plausible deniability, by having his minions use his weapon first or extorting people with crises so that they can't refuse. To be clear, he has absolutely every right to be so traumatized. Absolutely valid, especially after all the effort he put into being "normal" (even though it started from a place of blackmail). But the way he parses it after is that he's upset that he wasn't rewarded for being good. The realization that karma truly did not exist, that all that effort doesn't mean anything in a world where everyone has free will, and that means being hurt.
Like Victoria says, he fucking sucks at coping.
But we got a badass fucking hand mecha, so it's a win in my book.
Also, forgot to mention two things: 1.) How upset Cradle was that karma didn't actually exist, so his Shard made the dream room use currency. So everything is transactional.
2.) He teamed up with Love Lost. She's a feline themed cape. A cat and a cradle...

… wait, Akseli Gallen-Kallela painted hippos???
Honest to god I could write entire books on the fucked up little micro societies that exist solely in isolated gmod servers
my buddy and I were crawling some servers on gmod one day, just dinking around and being mild nuisances. we found one server where everyone had some ridiculous rank/title–various mythical creatures and wizards and stuff. We bothered someone badly enough (probably made a big mess of barrels or something) that we got put in jail, but we weren’t really interested in playing gmod as much as just goofing off, so we hung around the server for a while. the residents were chatting pretty casually, until someone, in a frantic tone, says “Janus is coming! We need to get this place cleaned up!” Janus logs in, and he has the title of God. Someone sheepishly asks “hey what’s up Janus?” Janus replies with an ear-splittingly loud buzzing static noise that drowns every sound on the server out. me and my buddy absolutely lost our minds

how does it feel to be tumblr famous now
Thanks for the question autistic-fuckwad. I’m enjoying the popularity :3
OP will be hunted for sport if the asker ever changes their name
OH FUCK
One time a DM let me play a Venom inspired character where I played the host and my long distance girlfriend played the symbiotic alien. How we did this was set up a discord call where she could hear everything said at the table but I had one head phone in my ear and only I could hear what she was saying and if I wanted to respond I had to speak out loud. That was fun.
this is the last louis wain picture i’m going to force you all to look at but look at this very gay late 1800′s cat
