#I NEED TO WORK ON BACKGROUNDS MY GOD.

[theresa-of-liechtenstein]

September started sweet Then winter got so mean The fruit left on my sheets If I could do it all again, I would’ve said—

the zurich au, shipwright & fairbairn remix. thoughts below.

this piece (as does most of shipwright & fairbairn’s overall Vibe) took a lot of inspiration from magdalena bay’s “chaeri” (strobe warning for the video).

i wrote a little bit about it here, but in my idea of lucy @sircarolyn’s zurich au, herc going to switzerland directly pushes linda out of a job. in my head, herc makes a promise to linda that he will help her as much as he could, and then… doesn’t. he leaves without saying anything. it’s schrodinger’s friend breakup: is it over? is it not over? there’s a liminality between them here, which is a lot like the idea of flight itself, and a lot like many of the wide shots in the music video.

almost in retaliation, i envision linda joining air england (which is. basically british airways but shh). by her living her life by spite, the air england move is a bastardization of the worst kind. she knows what this must mean to herc, whom she still shares a sky with. and they do bump into each other in my head, and herc is sorry, but he broke what was built in trust, and linda tore it down the rest of the way.

the visual of herc extending a hand to linda, and her utterly rejecting it, is central to the AU. in my head, he raises a hand to fix her ribbon pin on her tie. she raises a hand and slaps him away. the trust is broken. can it be fixed?

#cabin pressure #em draws #shipwright & fairbairn #can i scream now? i’m gonna scream. AAAAAAAAAAA #I NEED TO WORK ON BACKGROUNDS MY GOD. #ALSO IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR WEEKS. FUCKING WEEKS! #OUGHHHH FINALLY I DID IT

> FERDINAND II.

And so your PLANT shall henceforth be known as FERDINAND II.

The thought of needing to inform FERDINAND I of his having a namesake makes you a bit ill, but you are already hard at work devising several plausible excuses for the gesture. Something about how you've named it after the one most invested in its naming, or how it is similarly prone to drooling. Yes. Yes, you will be able to deflect quite easily, should the need arise. It has nothing to do with your fondness for FERDINAND or your desire for a substitute in his imminent absence, no—again, you are not so prone to sentimentality. It's about the drool.

Well, anyway. Best to move on with your day and think about something else, lest you grow maudlin or cultivate further affection for the PLANT. May the GODDESS be merciful and never cause you to develop inclinations that could be described as paternal.

Now that your plant has received sufficient care, it is time for COFFEE. You set to making your morning brew. By CHANCE, there happens to be sufficient water remaining in the kettle for FERDINAND I to have TEA, should he wish it.

Per your TIMEPIECE, it is now a quarter to eight. You have made excellent progress on your PRE-BREAKFAST TO-DO LIST thus far: the only remaining task is to remove FERDINAND. You are starting to get rather peckish and would like to be rid of him quickly, but over the past week, you have found that extracting the man from YOUR QUARTERS is a more arduous task than it ought to be.

whoops i made him catholic

#käärijä #my art #jere pöyhönen #fanart #paidaton riehuja #the background needed some details #and a cross just sort of happened #now he fears god #this was a practice that ended up being nice so i kept working on it #i focussed more on light/colour rather than shape or accuracy #all on one layer except for background and necklace #i think i prefer the messiness compared to when i separate them #this ended up being one kf my favourite paintings so far #boy is always sunburnt #his chest is so red #🥵🥵🥵

To celebrate Wayhaven Book 3 coming out in 2 weeks, I wanted to draw our beloved Unit Bravo. I don’t know how to feel about the outcome tbh, but it was definitely fun! I hope I did these lovelies justice 💖

if you're asking for drawing requests, maybe Willow in her timeskip look or Luz with the Collector??

[ID: a digital illustration of Luz (in her titan form from watching and dreaming) and The Collector. Luz stands on a small hill of red grass, waving at The Collector, who's off-screen but depicted to the audience as a closeup inside a star shaped panel. Luz is waving at the off-screen Collector with a smile, while The Collector smiles tearfully at her. Small uncoloured doodles of Eda and King are depicted waving at the collector in the background. End ID]

This was meant to be a doodle anon but unfortunately I went off the shits. Anyway, collector sees Luz post-resurrection and cries big gross happy tears bc he's so happy she's alive

#the owl house #toh #luz noceda #the collector #watching and dreaming #titan luz #titan!luz #god i love titan!luzs design SO MUCH it's so good. #something so personal abt the cringiest depressed bisexual teen in the world saving the world in cosmic furry cosplay of the devil #i don't really have tag rambles for this? #i did the sketch and fully expected this to be like. just a regular ''lines colour and maybe some shading'' deal #but there was too much negative space? so i added the little eda and king waving in the distance #but this implied like. a surrounding and a sense of space that looked Wrong without more detail #so uh. i did a background. then i coloured the lineart. then i did the shading and it just. kinda. spiraled #meant to post this yesterday but i fell asleep <3 #uhh anyway hope you enjoy anon! #i promise I'm gonna post that third request i just also wanna finish this animatic some time soon #IT'S CLOSE TO BEING DONE I JUST GOT BURNT OUT!!! GRRRRR #i need incentive i need motivation. i need a tiny elf with a hammer to beat my brain everytime i think ''no I won't work today <3''

"c'mon, sweetheart. studying's for nerds."

"Consider me as a nerd for now, then."

"no can do."

"Why's that?"

"your more fun than a nerd. and it'd be a waste if we don't get some fun, doll."

"And it'd be a waste of time and effort just to pleasure ourselves. And plus, I need to study this for tomorrow."

"C'mon.. a bit of fun won't hurt."

"...Fine."

|| Second week in school and shits are getting more difficult from one subject to another lmao. And this big guy is constantly going around my mind during class hours help ||

But then suddenly I had the motivation to draw this shit sooo.. here's another one for @didderd <3 Your boy is 100% distracting me from my studies but I couldn't care less 🤌

#anywho I got lazy and didn't do the background because I just doodled it at lunch earlier today lol #I myself don't know why his always popping out of nowhere during class #but shit that god knows what I'm thinking. #I'm still working on my assignments sooo #yeah. #but I will be able to post some little drawings or doodles to keep you guys entertained! #that's it for now cuz I have 9 more assignments to finish #and I am going insane because I need to make a whole ass report #ALL BY MY FUSJBDNF SELF 😰 #So take care and have a wonderful day! #don't forget to take care of yourself like how I did lol #tac #tac sans #insert self x sans #sans #sans au #didderd fanart

A solid half of my sskk WIP files can be boiled down to ‘Atsushi is Exhausted and decides to shake dazai and/or akutagawa until they stop being stupid’ and. Y’know what I stand by that.

#Atsushi : I know why I’m like this. I don’t care why you’re like this #I’m sitting on you till it stops #Chuuya in the background: good fucking luck #hi yes hello another fandom I am incredibly late to that has taken up entirely too much of my mental facilities in record time #what do you mean this shit is over ten years old and only has 8k works in the aku/Atsu tag naekfvjnoadfjvn #I will fix that mySELF #oh my god I need to clean up my files someone send help #shin soukoku #sskk

[raveartts]

this was cooler in my head 😭

#raveartts #hazbin hotel #alastor #well #he is a on a leash #and that's inherently amazing already #but ugh #why'd i use that thick ass line art #don't question the background btw i love drawing random shapes #i redrew his expression about ten times and i'm still not happy with it in the slightest -_- #dear god i hope someone else likes it because i certainly don't #i need to work on my angry expressions-

having really good hearing sucks sometimes because there are too many sounds and i feel like i need to explode and kill everyone

#this is a problem i frequently run into where. my mom's bf is playing guitar and singing—something tht is not a bad action to do #but i need to do work on a video project that like. requires syncing audio. so i need to be able to hear Just That Audio but unless i'm #fucking blasting it in my headphones to the point it hurts i can still hear him in the background and it's . ghghghghghghghghghghgh #i need. better headphones. #grandpa max is god? i go to church now

"Why does everything need to be Gay now it's so shallow to make men attracted to each other when they could be Pure Platonic Friends -"

oops sorry I can't hear you over the sound of me Doing What I Want Forever because I have been watching movies, TV, and animation since the 80s and have watched enough shallow heterosexual romances that would have been stronger as mlm-wlw solidarity friendships to fill the space between stars in a galaxy

#also 1) friends can fuck each other so you're not safe especially since gay guys do this a lot #2) why can't there be a cast with MANY mlm characters where some are strictly friends and some are partners #(bc this is a real thing that happens in the real world shocker I know but sometimes friend groups have several mlm folks) #3) as an aromantic vaguely ace spec person I get the need for good platonic relationships #but uh queer people reading mlm romance into something (often based on their own experiences or representation needs) #that creators refuse to delve into #or god forbid writing it into their own work #IS NOT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE #i can't believe it's the year of our lord 2024 and i am still seeing this thinly veiled homophobic take everywhere #2006 called and it wants its 'I don't wish evil on gays but i dont condone their gay stuff' attitude back #Also when I think about all the shows and movies that came from source material with wlw or mlm characters who were all but TOTALLY erased #Or I think about media about queer historical figures who were utterly straightwashed or had their queerness demonized #or reduced to a footnote or Non Controversial background noise #My rage about this increases like 10000 fold #Anyway TLDR ultimately I fall under the mlm umbrella and that's part of the reason I write the shit I do and I'm not the only one #And I write cheeky posts about it but I actually am genuinely disturbed sometimes at this sentiment #Because no one says it outright but there's this massive undercurrent of an assumption that we don't exist #And we don't create #And we don't create things FOR OURSELVES not even bc precisely because of all the times we were told #'Well that's not really marketable so if you want to see it maybe you should create it yourself' #I feel like I'm talking to a wall here DOES NO ONE ELSE GET ANGRY ABOUT THIS #LIKE HOMOPHOBIA ISN'T OVER YET #ESPECIALLY NOT FOR MLM PEOPLE WHO AREN'T CIS AND WHITE #Like stop calling sex and/or romance shallow when it's gay and SUSPICIOUSLY 0 OTHER TIMES oh my fucking god

a minute of silence to my skills to estimate how long a project is ever going to take

#my google calendar and Carl bot (and my friends) have been kind enough to inform me today was the estimated posting date of heist au #suffice to say that is not happening #it would have been rad to make a habit out of the co-occurrence of starting a new job and starting to post a finished WIP but alas #that will not be happening for a while longer #I have no idea when will I find the time for writing between two jobs and the big bang but. we'll work something out. #but hey it's good to give your projects breathing space so your brain can do the work in the background and solve the problems for you #I'll probably need to go back and revamp the whole last chapter I've been working on #but I'm still too sick and jet lagged and sick to be thinking about that so I'll consume some more media in the meantime #and complain about how bad the fic I'm listening to is. like god it's supposed to be so romantic and cute and he's literally #depriving her bodily autonomy and her friends support him I want to leave a strongly worded comment so bad #I will not be doing that but god it's so awful I should have stopped listening to this fic long ago. so that's a lesson learned. #put the fucking fic down there's plenty of stuff that's going to be better #hot take I sure no one saw coming sometimes things that are popular are actually bad #anyway have some stream of fucking consciousness /ref to another fic I'm fighting hard to keep discontinued #I know I won't like it why is this so hard #heist au should have been posted today based on maths btw. maths I did wrong for the first time which means it should have been posted #a year ago really #not like I have the proper structure to do a heist au daily #but it would have been fun to post the first chapter on the exact day it takes place. idk just for flavour #does all this make any sense? hardly. this is a diary entry and my two braincells are firing random thoughts at each other #that's fine though. it's all fine. here have some popcorn to go with all this nonsense 🍿🍿🍿 <3 #(and also all the drama in the new shadow and bone season. ugh it's so good I love Wesper SO. MUCH. or just Waylan. and Nikolai. #he's my blorbo assigned at first relevant information. relavant information: he's my friend's blorbo #but gods he's so my type it's scary. of course I'll have him as my blorbo. of course of course! #*puts him on a shelf next to Adrien Draco and Hunter* #*steps back to think before putting Waylan there too and sitting Zuko on the far end* #war crimes look so good on them :3 #miaing #heist au

The farmer’s son is a smart boy, very studious, has big dreams of getting into politics one day and always seems to have his nose in a book the size of his head. Though he’s got a good work ethic, his mother thinks it needs to be put to the test in a way he’ll understand— all of his big talk about generating plasma falls on the deaf ears of a farmer who knows that the true way to revolution is through toil.

When his big, grand dreams about liberation drive him to want something greater than working as a farmhand, his mother brings on a new project— a temperamental steer, rescued from inhumane living conditions, with a penchant for violence and an unrelenting stubbornness. The farmhand is tasked with the care and keeping of the cattle, and though the two get off to a rocky start, the man treats the steer with the first show of humanity he’s ever experienced— giving him his abuela’s old glasses, allowing him to see clearly for the first time in his life.

Somehow, the young man is able to tame the bull, who listens intently as he reads him theory, parrots his speech; the two eventually grow to have a bond. It is anyones guess whether this relationship, unseen before in history, will succeed— with a creature who is finally trusted to learn, and a man who is only beginning to experience the world in anything but theory.
