okay so i'm not trying to make this a ~thing~ or a hot take or whatever, but can we talk about how all the hyped up queer shows still predominantly feature mlm couples? i'm not saying there aren't wlw shows/movies or the mlm-focused shows don't also feature wlw characters/couples, just... they either get nowhere near the same amount of hype, have some other main plot, end with at least one of them dying or experiencing something traumatic, get cancelled after one season in the middle of their arc, or they're not the main couple. And that's not to discount the representation you can get from secondary characters of course but just... ugh I want a heartstopper or rwrb or young royals or skam or love, simon or i don't even know... with girls. And I know I'm not the first person to bring this up and I know it's not that simple, but seeing all the hype for heartstopper and rwrb this week makes my heart ache a little bit so i needed to say this somewhere.
i already mentioned this on twt but my roommate cat (@sunkitty143) finally made an account for fandom stuff! she's the co-creator of little mari (as well as the dog pack ocs and the botw au!!) and does the writing for my comics. so if u like our headcanons and work, please check her out too!! <3
🐱 Nightwing #110 rambling AKA wailing about how Dick and Jon love Damian
backtracking to 2 weeks ago in Titans #6 for a sec when Dick expressed how he wanted to look for Damian - it was nice to get a nod of Dick being concerned, but i was a bit bummed he didn't start a search. and i get it, the world needs saving, Dick's gotta do what he has to!!
different writer/story, but this line popped into my head the moment Babs said Earth needs the Titans
Damian means the world to Dick!! the Titans can take care of the literal world without him for a bit!!
but ykw it's fine since this issue proved me wrong, and Dick looks for Damian anyway!! 😭 basically "the world's still in danger but my brother needs me right now" this was just the start of the issue and i fell to my knees THEY BOTH REALLY DROPPED EVERYTHING FOR DAMIAN
the part where they plan to wait out Damian's match was so funny to me because Dick keeps repeating to Jon that they shouldn't engage, but then Dick just goes "NEVERMIND i'm going in" 😭 he couldn't stand watching Damian be hurt anymore i'm weeping
with context this is actually so sad for Damian orz otherwise i just wanted to say i love these drawings!! it's just a really cool page to me - i love the posing, especially in the hands/claws!! the intense expressions!! also so efficient in showing how the match escalates with Damian quickly overpowering Gail (along with seeing Jon's dread 🙁)
THEY WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THIS WOULD DO TO DAMIAN 😭
just more panels of Dick and Jon worrying over Damian :')
DYNAMIC DUO 2.0!! and ofc they have a dramatic entrance haha
HEAD IN MY HANDS...CRYING... i'm assuming Damian's hands are still supposed to be covered in blood since the first thing he thinks about when he returns to being human is what he had done without his control. and this bothers him to the end of the issue 😭 (HIS EXPRESSIONS EVEN WITH THE MASK ON 😭)
not sure if it's intentional, but Dick's speech to Damian in B:WFA ep 113 is kinda brought to canon here through both Dick and Jon
this was a sleep deprived reactionary rambling, so not much thought is left in my head lol i was hoping for some cute cat Damian shenanigans, but i'll happily take Dick and Jon being protective over Damian! 🥺
It has nothing to do with Satan, Mama. It's me. Me. If I concentrate hard enough, I can move things. - Carrie (1976).
WOOOOWEEEE- 💀
I'm SUPER late to the Halloween party with this piece, but truth be told the last months of October-December 2023 were busy as hell! So I initially planned to post this piece on New Years Day, but unfortunately, tragedy happened within my family, which at that point posting was the least of my worries :0(
Things are slowly clearing, so now I have the emotional/mental energy back to share this piece I worked hard on! I'm super proud of how this came out, and how wonderful IbisPaintX is to make doodles/finals on the go on my phone! Also huge thanks to @thetageist ( https://thetageist.newgrounds.com/ ) for giving me this suggestion!! Even gave them a spot on the credits wheeee 📽️
Bonus to you my fellow Tumblr dwellers, y'all get the individual sides to view and see (cause hooray for multiple photo posts!) 🎉
I rarely get to draw Amy, so having the challenge of redrawing her to the Carrie 1976 (USA poster) was an awesome and challenging experience, I got to test out some techniques I learned along the way ✨
I plan on doing this for 2024 as well, it was too fun to not try again! Happy super late Halloween y'all 🎃
Arlecchino: Huh I wonder what's causing my weird powers? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta become King and then kill my "Mother".
*Kills Clervie and "Mother"*
Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I was able to defeat a Fatui Harbinger when I'm like 17 or so? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta be in jail and become a Harbinger.
*Is in jail for a while and becomes a Harbinger*
Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I am-
Pierro: Hey what's up hello, anyways you're descended from the Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khaenri'ah. I'm sure that this is a lot for you to take in so-
Arlecchino: Ok.
Pierro: ...You're just cool with that?
Arlecchino: IDK maybe? I can't really worry about that at the moment, I'm a father now. This orphanage full of children I love (who also are child soldiers and are not allowed to leave or else I'll execute them except maybe now I'm just gonna wipe their memories IDK I'm morally complex) isn't gonna run itself.
*Runs the orphanage/spy recruitment initiative*
Me, the fucking player: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE KHAENRI'AN? WHY WASN'T THIS BROUGHT UP IN YOUR FUCKING QUEST?? OR ANYTHING ELSE????
Arlecchino, talking to me through my phone: I honestly don't know why you care, I'm too busy to give a shit. Anyways, I'm gonna go fight fate itself I guess. I'm sure that I don't share any thematic parallels with any other Khaenri'an characters (particularly as it relates to acting and family angst) and that I haven't made the idea of 'curses' on Khaenri'ans and what they entail even more complicated than they already were. See ya.
Do you play MMOs? Do you want FREE ART?
do you want FREE ART of your WOW, SWTOR, or LOTRO character?
You're in luck! Because I, puffball, am laundering clout here on Tumblr once again.
I tried to be on twitter and couldn't stand getting my eyebrows blasted off by foul takes every five minutes (and now it's some other website? weird.), and though mastodon is my home, my art doesn't get much interaction (because I post it on my extremely insular self-hosted instance that sees no traffic and doesn't allow new users).
so I'm here on Tumblr back on my old tricks, opening requests like it's 2011 Deviantart and I'm going on the free art forums in exchange for followers.
send an ask or reply here and god willing I will draw your little guy
Amalgamate's gonna be at Momocon soon! Plus some quick announcements!
My DRV3 fanfic Amalgamate is gonna be at Momocon in Atlanta, GA, May 24-27. I'll be traveling there for the first time ever to attend the show (in all my glittery DR cosplays ofc!), and Melody Snowflake, FireArt, and IvanDubs are going too! Melody and Fire create the Amalgamate Audio Series! Melody, who's flying in from Singapore, is also the series' Himiko VA, and Fire, who's flying in from Germany, is the narrator. And Ivan's our incredible Kokichi VA! So, a few things!
1. Are you or any Amalgamate fans you know attending Momocon? Please let me know cuz I'll try organizing a meetup, but only if enough people are available/interested.
2. We're hoping to do Amalgamate livestreaming at the show! More on that soon!
3. I'm writing an AMALGAMATE ONE-SHOT from Shuichi's POV! It's hard for me to reach out to readers outside AO3, but updating the fic just to tell people about Momocon seems cruel, so in the next couple weeks, I'll "update" Amalgamate with all the announcements + a link to the one-shot (it'll be good, I promise!). After Momocon, I'll remove the "new chapter" and hopefully post the real chapter 21 soon after :D
4: Please spread the word! I'd hate for anyone who's attending Momocon or anyone who wants to join the livestream chats to miss out on this :((
TYSM, everyone!!! More info/announcements coming soon!! :D
