I finally got around to drawing a DGS fanart idea that I've had for a while, and I think the result turned out pretty good!
Beware the Black Cat
Though on a much sadder note, I also learned today that someone who I respected as an amazing artist/animator passed away a couple days ago. I'm still in a state of disbelief, and I hope their loved ones are okay.

So I found some Ace Attorney tierlist templates, and decided to put my rankings in.
Games
Cases Main series + Investigations characters
Dai Gyakuten Saiban
I also created a new character for Deny the Laws that Govern the Earth. Her name is Caspia, and she controls life and death.

I just had a weird dream, and although I made a feed about it, I'll post it here as well.
DGS2 spoiler warning
So Me, FluffyMareep, and another sister were at this costume party or something that was at my school. We ended up finding a bunch of other students who were goofing around while dressed as DGS characters. We mostly joined them in goofing around it the main lobby, though one time Fluffy was pretending to be evil and I had to hide.
I also don't remember what the other peoples costumes looked like, though I remember that there were two Masked Disciples. One of them always had their hood down and was the less good actor, while the other one had a super high quality cosplay (also he fell on the floor once).
I guess we also decided to reenact the scene where the Masked Disciple gets his memory back and reveals he is Kazuma Asougi, though instead of the Masked Disciple revealing himself, the hood-down Masked Disciple basically unmasked the other one (it was really weird and funny). Also as soon as he was unmasked, literally the entire group gasped "Asougi" and started freaking out.
And that was kinda where I woke up.

I was bored so...
The world of Luxendarc (the world of Bravely Default/Second)! As described by Kel(me)!
Note:this is not what map looks like in game (in-game version), but this was a really nice version I found. Also, this is Default's map, so it doesn't have all the cities, as some were added in Second, as well as Second's map being slightly shifted. If you really want to know where Second's added cities are, I could point them out.
Bravely Second's Map
Eternia Region
Icy and mountainous, though it's less so in the southern areas. Home to the Earth Crystal.
Eternia
City
You think they are a super evil military City, but it turns out it is peaceful and quiet, and they're not even evil. Incredibly medically advanced.
Gathelatio
City
Southern-ish port city. The home of the Crystal Orthodoxy.
Harena Region
Desert. There is some green near the edges and at the single oasis, but that's it. Home to the Wind Crystal
Ancheim
City
Still desert. They got clocks and windmills.
Al-Khampis
City
Not as desert, basically one giant school. Aka Nerd City.
Florem Region
Flowers, Rivers, Forests. Some mountains to the north, but overall green and warm. Home to the Water Crystal.
Florem
City
A Beautiful City where only women can live, though men can visit. Very bright, neon, and noisy.
Sagitta Village
Hidden Village
A Civilisation similar to the Moon and hidden for Millennia. Literally flying in the sky. Also they got a giant cannon. In the more mountainous areas.
Eisen Region
Also known as Eisenberg. Hot and Humid, due to Mount Karka, a large active volcano. Is very Euopean-esqe with the exception of a single city. Was in a violent civil war that had ended by Bravely Second. Home to the Fire Crystal.
Hartschild
City
The Capital of Eisenberg, as well as the main stronghold of the Sheildbearers.
Yunohana
City
Land of the Baths. The only non Euopean-esqe city in the Eisen region, and probably not even under Hartschilds's command. Someone kill the ruler of this city please. I beg of you.
Caldis Region
A small continent. Called the Land of Beginnings/Endings.
Caldisla
City
The large port city that is also the Capital of the Caldis Region.
Norende
Village
A small Village tucked in the Caldis Region mountains. Doesn't exist anymore after the Great Chasm. Only one known citizen of the village survived.
Yulyana Region
Dense Woodland. The only known inhabitant is an elderly man who runs a Needleworks there.
Chompshire
City?
Glory to the CHOMP!
Fort Lune
Moon Base
An advanced Civilization whose sworn duty it to fight off and hopefully eliminate the Ba'al Threat.
Grandship
City
A city that is also a MASSIVE ship that was founded by pirates. There was at one point the threat of the city sinking.
The Skyhold
Fortress
A giant flying castle that is the home of the Glanz Empire.

Wiggly Icon Tutorial
For this tutorial you will need:
-A drawing program with layers
-A way to create gifs from static images
- x - x - x -
So, first things first!
Open up your drawing program and create a new canvas and sketch out your character.
![](https://i.ibb.co/RjrJd6H/Screenshot-20200516-173626.png)
After you've finished with the sketch, draw your lineart!
![](https://i.ibb.co/LNBvQjh/Screenshot-20200516-175236.png)
Now, in order to make the wigglyness, set this lineart to 50% opacity and on a new layer, trace over it. This doesn't need to be perfect.
![](https://i.ibb.co/3Npx7S0/Screenshot-20200516-175656.png)
Now, color each lineart individually. If you can, I would recommend putting each drawing in it's own folder. Make sure that any markings or shading line up, though they don't need to be perfect.
![](https://i.ibb.co/sv5T57k/Screenshot-20200516-180848.png)
![](https://i.ibb.co/0X1SQ8K/Screenshot-20200516-180834.png)
Now, save each individual frame. If you want to be able to use it as a PH icon, make sure you set it to have the dimensions 150x150 pixels.
Now, all you need to do is turn the two frames into a gif. I would recommend 10fps, though feel free to do what looks best for you.
And ta-da! You have your wiggly icon!

Bravely Default ii is looking more and more disappointing. They took the amazing stories from both games, the QoL features from Second, and a already built and established system that needed next to no changes...
And through it all out of the window. Mages and Tanks never act because they changed the battle system and removed the random encounter toggle. 3 out of 4 of the main characters are boring or literal copies of the other main characters, Elvis is literally Ringabel but with a Scottish accent but somehow a lot less interesting.
Also it's not like Bravely Second had a hooking cliff hanger and the fans have been wanting a Bravely Third since Second came out. It's not like we still have questions about the Planeswardens, the Sword of the Brave, or Deneb. It's not like Edea hasn't gotten her happy ending yet, something that fans really want.
And it they don't want to alienate new players, than just port the first two games, maybe even adding Second's QoL features to Default in the process.
I really don't want it to end up like SwSd in my eyes. Heck, it could end up even worse than SwSd due to the fact that I hold the Bravely Series in such high regard, and have high expectations as a result.
On a better note however, I got two more rotom characters, Spactim, who I got from a design auction, and Mypha, who I got from the Design a Character for the Person Above You thread.

I made a redraw of the first piece of digital Dai Gyakuten Saiban fanart I've drawn, because I wasn't happy with the original.
I even took some progress screenshots!

No, I'm definitely not obsessed with Kazuma Asougi

Life in general seems to be harder for me since this year started, and it's only been getting worse as time goes on, and my anxiety and mental health seems to be struggling as well. I'm constantly on the verge of breaking down from stress and anxiety, to the point even little, minor-inconvenience and worse, things can set me off. And due to the virus and quarantine, my loneliness has been getting worse as I'm no longer around other people outside of my family.
I'm also going to put any of those Wowa things I do here because why not. They're cute.

Well it's been a hot sec since I've updated my diary. I still need to finish some things on the front page.
My favorite classes
With Tiz Arrior, I would maybe say Arcanist in Default
Agnes Oblige, I would say either White Mage or Spiritmaster, for a similar reason to Tiz.
Ringabel would be either Red Mage or Dark Knight
Edea Lee I would say that in Default, maybe Templar, but in Second definitely Kaiser.
Yew Geneolgia would be
Magnolia Arch would definitely be Red Mage. The flower theme fits with her, and Magnolia looks reallly cool with wavy hair.

One of our two cats didn't show up for his breakfast this morning, and had been missing all day.
It turns out that last night he had died, though my family doesn't know why. He may have been a butt at times, but he was still a very sweet and chill cat and he had really soft fur. Hopefully his brother will be okay.
I might try and draw him later. I miss you Oliver.

Rotom Headcanons because why not:
- Although it's unknown how long they existed before hand, rotoms were first seen in the pokemon equivalent of the 1920's. People would report that their new electric technology would work funny, as well as some stating that they saw a small orange and blue creature entering their technology. This prompted investigation, leading to the official registering of the pokemon rotom, who's unique properties and origin are still being studied to this day.
- Albeit rare, non-rotom caused malfunctions can be deadly to the plasma pokemon if it's possessing the device as the malfunction is happening. Because of this, all specially made roto-devices allow rotom to escape if necessary, and it's recommended for anyone in possession of a roto-possesed device to check to see if rotom can leave the machine. If it's unable to, it's highly recommended to search out a rotom expert in order to ensure a rotom's safety.
- Although they mostly feed on electricity given off by machines, there have been a few instances where a rotom has attacked another electric pokemon as to steal it's electricity. This led scientists to believe that this is how rotom may have survived pre-electric technology.
