I feel bad for the Angler in the third ask.
I am most likely going to order the custom from Inked Gaming, since it was the first custom playmat printer to come up and the reviews are good, haha. That's the template I'm using, at least, so 14" x 24" x 1/16" (pretty big!), rubber-bottom and cloth top.What sort of material will you print it on?
Thanks! Glad at least someone here read it, lol.Wow, really nice, and a great interpretation of how a newcomer may act. I especially like the Guide's dialogue; it conveys some really cool foreshadowing.
Thank you, but please check the very top of artist threads. There is request information there.Holy jesus, these are awesome!
*Ahem* Do you, erm, do requests?
YES! A ton of stuff to read.A blogdump because it's been a bit.
Expect to see a lot of stuff from my 'fic because I use them to answer questions now and you can't stop me.

Q: Have you thought of the Corruption chasms as nests, dug by the eater of worlds to harbor the shadow orbs which are its/her eggs? That would explain its anger after breaking three. I hope I did not miss anything from your worldbuilding.
I never really did cover the Corruption in-depth, so you didn’t miss much of anything.
And before I get started, remember, this isn’t a theory as to what the devs may have intended, and this shouldn’t have any bearing on how other people may decided to worldbuild the Corruption. This is only how I’ve decided to characterize it for my own stuff.
The crux of my interpretation is that I don’t consider the Corruption creatures to be biological entities, seeing as they’re made of rotten flesh. They seem more like animated conglomerates pulled from a set of very similar templates, with a singular goal of spreading, killing, absorbing dead biomass, and spreading more.
That said, the chasms ARE dug by the Eater of Worlds, but also all the other burrowing Corruption creatures, of which there are many. They’re just not a nest; they don’t need to breed since they’re not actually living things. It’s more for living space and surface area for spreading the corruption, especially in its weakened state.
The Shadow Orbs themselves aren’t eggs, they’re actually more like pearls, where random objects that have fallen into the chasms get coated in layers of demonite or a demonite-like material. This mainly explains why you can find some fairly mundane items inside of them, some older ones being sufficiently suffused with Corruption energy to have changed their nature (whilst more ‘modern’ objects, like the Musket, remain unchanged, simply from not having been there very long). Smaller and heftier 'pearls’ from minute particles are much denser can simply be taken, hence the light item.
They still act as acute focuses, drawing in the soul energy upon which the Corruption denizens feed. It explains why you hear screams when you break them, and why destroying or stealing them enrages the Eater of Worlds, which tends them and carefully shapes them into the familiar orbs. Who really knows why. Probably something to do with optimizing distribution or the material matrix for keeping the energy stored until needed.Q: Angler gives Aberrant a Beach Ball.

Terraria is a serious world for sensible people.Q: Isn't weird for you that after defeafing Lunatic Cultist four giant things (that I'm not even sure what they are built of) JUST APPEARS, like, they teleported from somewhere?
Giant horrifying things appearing seemingly out of nowhere after completing some arbitrary prerequisite is certainly weird…
…but not in any way surprising by the time any adventurer gets around to that point in their Terrarian lives.
…Assuming they make it that far…Q: Don't mind me, I am just going to crash into anyone... and EVERYONE! *runs in with the basilisk mount*
To be honest, I baaarely use mounts. I think the two that see the most use are slime (since I get it early frequently and it has a few good uses, especially in Expert mode against some bosses), and the flying saucer (on the two characters who don’t have a press-down-while-flying-to-nyoom accessory).
As for favorite mount that I almost never use because I’ve only ever effing seen it drop while farming after it’s been made obsolete by wings?
Q: What are your headcannons for mimics?
A combination of factors. Those that emerge from statues are just automatons, originally made for security purposes, but so rudimentary that they just attack anything, making them not that effective as anything but spiteful traps.
The legit ones in Harmode are just stronger souls released by the defeat of the Wall of Flesh. They disperse and start to animate a lot more than the usual undead, to the point of also targeting inanimate objects.
Though, in the case of chests, they are unique in that they tie back to the Keeper the way a number of my other personal flourishes do. The Keeper’s powers largely involve bending space, which can perform any number of feats from quick travel across long distances via mirrors, to storage.
In the case of player storage (the ‘scrolls’ in Fell), chests, banks, etc., the reason they can all hold so much more than they reasonably should has to do with ooold, commonplace applications of the spatial-bending that humans stole from studying the Keeper’s artifacts. However, due to the Keeper’s status as a very powerful spirit, use of those powers does tend to attract other spirits and souls towards things infused with them.
Something silly to break up the srs that Fell inevitably turned into. A random scene that came to mind at work, partially inspired by this clip (and the fact that Kiss from a Rose plays at work at least 6 times any given work week).
Did a bunch of the underlying sketch refining for this on today’s stream… tbh, I kind of like the sketches better for some of these lol
FALSE ALARM, EVERYTHING’S AWFUL! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧Q: after reading that chapter I'm just imagining the Guide just... sitting there, casually reading his book, and then all of a sudden bURSTS INTO FLAMES ON THE SPOT
Q: Do you think the cute fishron is a baby/juvenile duke fishron?
YepQ: the guide knows your kinks
maybe, but do you really want a guy like him to let you know he has that information
Addendum: ALSO KNOWN AS MY STREAM CHAT REGULARS ARE WEIRD BUT I LOVE THEMQ: I love how absolutely *done* Aura looks in your latest doodle. She should put Axl and Ren on child leashes.
“Absolutely done” is her default status.
But she wouldn’t leash Ren… keeping him far away is probably better for all of them…
Q: How would Abomination react to being hugged?
Q: Another question (T-T), where did Alex get his/her suit? they made it by themself, or stole from somewhere/someone?
The core of what makes the Hallow so dangerous is how it relies very heavily on manipulating perception.
It’s only natural that a being drawing form and power from the Hallow would be a master illusionist. No physical suit required if your entire body isn’t real.
I love I really love the ocram one.A blogdump because it's been a bit.
