#and she's only like 18?!

I know it's not Mermay but I just stumbled across this incredible polyphonic singer for the first time and I had to mention her in case anyone happened to be writing a mermaid fic right now and was looking for inspiration for what an actual siren (or demon??) would sound like... 😲

#tw flashing #Diana Ankudinova #mermay #siren #demon #music #polyphonic #she sounds- uh- whatever the sound equivalent of 'photoshopped' is... #...but she isn't?? #Youtube #yet each man queues the thing he loves #and she's only like 18?! #I know this is what those mongolian throat-singer guys do #but I've never heard it used in a song w/ english lyrics so I guess it just hit harder? #check out some of the other polyphonic singers on youtube #there's one woman who can sing like a flute #another who can sing harmonies with herself #and a guy who can sing SIX NOTES at the same time

14 yrs ago i started playing magic the gathering as a kid, and i had the dream to do art for them

3 yrs ago i tweeted about those dreams:

today i’ve released 11 official magic the gathering cards, and it’s honestly so surreal and insane to me! i did that!! i fulfilled a childhood dream, and i honestly couldn’t be more proud 🥹

#as someone who never had support it’s wild to me to ACTUALLY DO IT BITCH! #my hs counselor said i’d never amount to anything and id be lucky to work fast food #only bc i was disruptive and hated the southern culture i was raised in #hope she chokes on my success :) #pixel art #artist on tumblr #aesthetic #illustration #i am so fucking powerful #i put 18 but it’s rly like 14 yrs ago lmao oops #i edited the age for clarity sake after doing the math!!!!

What led to this (orufrey comic, cw an uncomfortable/creepy scene)

#witch hat tag #orufrey #er.... i'm too tired to have anything to say..i worked several days on this. #wait.. didn't i say just recently here that i probably wouldn't ever depict 'what if alaira is qifrey's sort-of ex'. What's going on #i don't even remember deciding to draw this..it's all a blur..i'm not sure why i WOULD decide to draw delicate scenes in my head #that i wouldn't really want to share with anyone/discuss so why did i draw it... #some part of me really really wants to draw things that are more and more true to myself... #maybe because of my alienation with most romance/shipping/dynamics the rest of the world depicts. #orufrey really is perfectly suited to me - what i read in the text and what is in my head. well anyway #i am TIRED of drawing poses and angles and..maybe now i will actually take a break from drawing bc of the tediousness of Angles #btw it really is a 'stretch of time' . . . assuming witches graduate age 18-20 #well orufrey are canonically 30-ish. they've only had agott around for presumably about TWO years (?) bc she took the test age 10 #and it feels like oru moving in/unknown atelier acquisition/building (?) .. i guess that could be a year or so before agott at most #(she was the first disciple) so... ????????? What about the other 7 or so years ?!?!?!!?!?! Unemployed Brimhat Hatred era #that time is very nebulous. after qifrey went to the tower i feel like it's been implied he and oru drifted apart a little. #certainly they didn't live together at first... no way. that doesn't feel like how it is based on things oru has said about becoming Eye #idk. I'm tired now. i don't usually think of alaira as necessarily qifrey's ex and this being how things went in that 'sliver of time'. #i usually prefer the idea that they have their first kiss with each other in their 30s cause That's Just The Orufrey Lifestyle #just felt like making a more relatable alternative view of my own Cai Orufrey Canon one time. btw im a big monoshipper and it hurt a bit #let's leave it there. this is surely the most i've worked on a 'single' art - though now i realise just how much longer the fic took :')

in another universe TLT is a coming of age fantasy YA tragedy about Silas having to leave home with his nephew/guardian at the age of 16 to seek glory for his house and then not only LOSING that guardian in a terrible mistake, but also losing faith in his culture/religion as a whole as he rejects everything he has been taught to stand for and want. And as he stands up for himself in his final moments and realizes his terrible miscalculation he is KILLED by the shambling, posessed body of his guardian only for his soul to be then swept away and thrust into a confusing dreamscape where nothing is real and once again he must reject his world in order to chase after something new. the universe does not forgive but maybe he can force its hand

#trb.txt #silas octakiseron #thank god we got GIDEON NAV instead #sorry i woke up at 3am w the thirsties and remembered silas is only 16.... #would of course never trade him for gideon nav but i do thnk he is given shockingly little sympathy by both the narrative & also the reader #but like that is likely by design he is SO mean to gideon and she filters pretty much everything we see of him except the tiny bit #in the river bubble #but i do think abt how he is 16 and harrow is 17-turns-18 and issac is like 14 idk!!!! #i am not sure what i am saying anymore #i like the side characters? im going back to bed

thinking about how much Ty hates change & how he was visibly distressed when he thought Julian forgot about the pancakes but he's the one who most desperately wants Mark to take over from Julian. thinking about how Julian's first line in the series is that Ty & Livvy are eating wax and how his hands are covered in wax too. thinking about how Julian thinks of them as his children but they're the siblings closest in age to him, the brother and sister he was probably the closest to growing up

#two years!! they're only two years apart!! #makes me a little sick to think about like hes their brother #also in cohf emma says she was eighteen months when they were born!! 18!! #for 6 month (half of the year!!) they're only a year apart in age.... fell to my knees I can't keep thinking about this #they're the same age difference as Alec and Izzy....

sketch commission post!

commission queue is currently: open!

HEY SO i don't do this a lot but money has ended up being tight this month with some unexpected expenses, and i'd like to have a little walking-around money for a con i'm going to at the end of the month. so i'm opening up commissions!

tl;dr: $25 per character, payment through paypal invoice, communication through emails (preferred) or tumblr DMs. full TOS under cut.

(also, shamelessly plugging my Ko-Fi too if you don't have money for a commission but would like to toss me a few bucks anyway!)

TOS:

all characters must have a visual reference

listed price is per character; happy to take multiple characters per commission, or multiple commissions per person

estimated delivery time is two weeks, but I'll let you know if there's a delay

commissions will have no preview before delivery and no revisions

to order, email me at [email protected] or DM me on here! email is easier, but I don't mind tumblr DMs either (though I'll need an email address to send the payment invoice to!)

for the NSFW TOS, click here!

#it's not an emergency situation but it is a 'man i could really use a little extra cash this month' situation lol #oh also: if you need extra examples (eg of creature art) lemme know! #i only really started drawing human characters in the past couple of years but i've got a huge backlog of monster/furry art hahaha #but yeah in general if you've got any questions feel free to reach out #this is not the greatest time to post this because i'll be going to bed in like an hour lol #but if i don't get back to you right away i'll respond in the morning! #oh oh also everyone who doesn't follow the 18+ blog say hello to sphinx lili #she normally lives over on the other blog because she has her bazongas out

giving psych another go after having watched the first season and a bit a couple years ago before stopping because I hadn't really been feeling it

only like six or seven eps in this time, and I am enjoying it, and I would like to stick with it this time, but god, now I do remember why I gave up on it in the first place. for all the show has going for it (which is a lot!) so much of the tone (and shawn is usually the biggest offender) falls back on those really insufferable attitudes from the mid ’00s of like. hit on every woman you see, getting laid is always the biggest priority. kneejerk disdain for anything nerdy or "uncool." I'm a guy and that means I care about porn and sports and that's it

#like yeah it's fun when shawn gets blindsided by a woman (bc she's hot ofc) only to get a reveal later that she was the bad guy #but also I'd rather he just. treated women like people in the first place lmao #and I'm sure he does later! like everything I've seen of late series him and juliet looks good and intriguing #but we're starting from such a rough place. and like. is the show aware? #bc then you've got gus who doesn't conform to those same masculine behaviors (often to set up a punchline for shawn) #but gus himself doesn't feel like a punchline or stereotype. he feels well-rounded and is often validated by the circumstances #it's just bizarre. wondering if this is one of those cases where s1 of a show feels least tonally accurate #e.g. how it's initially pitched or what it plays up for viewership or attention vs. how it settles into itself down the line #but man I'm over s1 shawn. like I'm watching the convention ep and he's being so unnecessarily dickish and dismissive to gus and everyone #because it's nerd shit? it's uncool? this just feels like such an outdated sensibility #(which it is. it's 18 years old at this point. these sensibilities are now legal adults) #but I'm glad we as a culture moved past this energy and I'm ready for the show to do the same #psych #kayla posts

longtime dc fan and i think a lot of people are angry because alex is obviously one of the most culturally relevant instances of misogyny in media. that being said being more culturally relevant doesn’t mean it’s the worst instance of misogyny and i think bumble definitely experiences more profound misogyny in the way the actual content is presented, if that makes sense

I get you, and that's a charitable way of looking at it.

I think what's rustling my jimmies is that like, there was a couple of WC fans being mildly dismissive of Alex in that note minefield, after dozens of comments of "fuck you how could you let the fridge woman lose" and "Bumble didn't deserve to win ANY rounds" and "how could A CAT experience misogyny." But then WE get blamed for the toxicity because THEY were butthurt that the Funny Cat People have the 'audacity' to win something they feel entitled to.

Like, we've gotta be endlessly charitable as we get openly insulted because they're upset about Alex losing, a very well-known and culturally relevant character with a legacy so massive we have a whole term named after her. But condemnations of "She's just a cat, letting WC into this poll was a mistake, Bumble can't even be a victim of misogyny" only started coming around once I started talking about it.

as if it's OUR fault people got passive-aggressive or even OPENLY aggressive towards us, and that we're "just as bad" for retaliating

But like you said, it's not a "Most Culturally Relevant Misogyny" tournament, it's a "Canon Misogyny Victims" tournament. And you're not even supposed to give a shit that Bumble died. The fat, woman abuse victim is beaten to death by a dictator, and your takeaway is meant to be, "It's so sad that Clear Sky is being blamed for murdering her, now they're all preparing for self-defense against a homicidal maniac, oh nooo :("

And I think that DOES make her deserve the win here! Alex is a MARTYR. Everyone with a brain agrees what happens to her is bad. It happened in her canon because it was bad. We talk about her and keep her memory alive. Bumble gets dismissed entirely out of hand because she's "just a cat in a kid's book" as if that doesn't make it worse, and as if the kid's book didn't treat a domestic abuse survivor like a moron for even asking for help.

Anyway, just to reiterate, I love DC fans. It's not all of you guys. Alex was done dirty and deserves justice-- and it's even kind of a shame that all she became is "The Fridge Woman." I haven't even heard people talk about how she was a wary, responsible person who was still ready to rock with Kyle's new weird glowstick powers, or that she was a journalist, or that she just got brought back in another edition as a Green Lantern only to be revealed as an illusion and re-absorbed back into Kyle's mind. Nope. Even her fans just remember her as The Fridge Woman.

#She wasn't even ONLY brought back as a green lantern btw she also came back as.... #full disclosure I'm not a DC fan this is from My Best Friend + Wiki Education #...as a cool ass evil zombie black lantern #Only for Kyle to have to put her down like Old Yeller #Because he can't handle her Zomgirl Swag #How cunty of me would it be actually if.

Bumble sweeps the whole tournament and I go back and write whole essays for-- #how each one of her opponents were worthy adversaries and explain exactly how deep the misogyny of canon went against them #Bones ''King of Women Appreciation'' Fall #Especially Chichi actually. If it had been Alex vs Chichi I would have gone to bat for Chichi. #Chichi was done dirtier than Alex. And also I would go PRETTY hard for my girl Android 18 #And ACTUALLY?
