@bajax hah, this is so cute. I only know of The Pillows from FLCL.
@f0x yeah it's one of my favorite tracks from them-- I don't think it was ever used in the show proper but it was on the FLCL soundtrack. neat little ditty
@bajax I remember coming across the song that inspired me to redesign f0x and make the Mekka universe. Spotify had decided to autoplay some related tracks and landed me on this
@f0x what's mekka about? protagonist with cwd is kinda grimdark (in a cool way)
@bajax I'm fiddling around with f0x's backstory a bit. But I want it to be slice of life if it were about a group of savvy criminals in a post-apocalyptic setting with futuristic tech n' 00's nostalgia. f0x's design is done basically, with a robotic left arm that she lost due to being haunted by a yako which gave her the cwd/rabies-ish disease that made her a criminal anyway.
@bajax I don't want to go the corpo bad guys route, pretty much because it represents reality and has therefore been done 100+10 times. I think its plot motivation is going to be something really stupid and mundane, but because it's set in a not-so usual world it'll become odd naturally. It's the world where I keep all my darlings.
@f0x so you looking to make something more episodic or character driven rather than having any kind of an overarching antagonist?
@bajax yeah. Definitely a character driven story. Arette "3lli3" L'Antima is some winged girl who fell from a floating island during a thunderstorm, having had both of her legs replaced by f0x's mad scientist friend who helped upgrade her arm, Roan Smythe n' such.
@bajax oh i forgot to tie that thought up. Basically her arc is she needs to return to the floating island without being seen as a winged lass because obviously that'd draw attention to her otherwise secret-only-found-in-legends countryside.
@f0x sounds a lot like a setting I used to have... but it was more inspired by works in the vein of biomega and Blame! That kind of cyberpunk gritty detail and gaudiness is top tier
@bajax I miss "engineer porn". I need more realistic machinery in art in general.
@f0x YES you know tsutomu nihei was orginally trained as an architect, kinda goes to show how aesthetic that kind of tecnical drawing can be
@shortstories @bajax @f0x drawing is on a long, long list of things I need to do.
@bajax @f0x @shortstories Don't give me additional reasons to lose my already white knuckle grip on the handlebars, please and thanks.
@pwm @bajax @shortstories you guys are yowling at each other under influence in my damn menchies again, I'm gonna put you both in the get-along shirt.
@bajax @f0x @shortstories I get off on being put down so go ahead. Feeds my nigger-of-the-world syndrome (the world revolves around me but it HATES me)
@pwm @f0x @shortstories vulnerable narcissism-- somehow I expected more you to be more a madonna-helper complex from you
@bajax @f0x @shortstories you mean madonna-whore complex?
Also no, most things are not that complex once you break them into their constituent parts. I've only recently reached this hypothesis/theory and am still figuring out what to do about it.

@bajax @f0x @shortstories I'm trying not to reach any grim conclusions about my relationship to women. Realizations about the self have been plenty grim as is without throwing that into the mix
Consider some get-along boxer briefs for these stubborn cases.
Needs to be a domino effect meme...
@pwm @bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories Yea fox hella gay
@f0x @pwm @bajax @Doll @shortstories Look in a mirror dipshit
@f0x @bajax @Doll @shortstories @ForbiddenDreamer it's that time of the month (Sunday night football)
@pwm @bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories @ForbiddenDreamer its that time of the month (i put my shiesty on)
@f0x @bajax @pwm @Doll @shortstories No I'm actually always like this, you must just not pay attention
@ForbiddenDreamer @bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories it's that time of the month when women (alleged) are extra aware of everything going on around them
@pwm @bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories They're even aware of things that never happened I stg
@ForbiddenDreamer @bajax @pwm @Doll @shortstories You're right, my bad. When you post it's generally good advice to either not look or think about it too much.
EXTREME DADDY ISSUES!
@ForbiddenDreamer @bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories the mirror dimension is parallel and does not intersect. Whatever is there cannot be, and whatever is here must.
@pwm @Doll @f0x @shortstories @ForbiddenDreamer but how do the mirror know what's on the other side?!
@bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories @ForbiddenDreamer It doesn't but it's geometric: the normal line from one to the other intersects at an analogous point as it is orthogonal to both
@bajax @pwm @Doll @f0x @shortstories @ForbiddenDreamer the scene is rendered twice and stencil masked to create the illusion of reflection
