#but then they would finally communicate

[lucabyte]

Taking pride in One's own appearance.

#you people are becoming my guinea pigs for my finally learning how to communicate information via comics. a thing ive needed to practice at #also BLEGH. YUCK. andrew hussie was right candy makes you sick. this is a little too saccharine for me. yeesh. let me get back to the meat. #isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time #in stars and time spoilers #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #isat siffrin #isat loop #sifloop #doodlebyte #'let me get back to the meat' i say eyeing something similarly sickly in my sketches. at least it's mildly tormented as a counterbalance... #you people have no idea how much im having to stay my own hand. oh i can draw miserable nudity but the most basic of fluff? visceral #anyway i dont know the logistics of picking up a glass eye or where loop got money (besides pilfering from siffrin) & ive previously drawn #sif with a vague blank middle-grey eye as either being scarred over or a blank occular prosthesis put in quickly at the nearest town #i dont know that they'd have a glass eye during the game but considering prosthesis are reccomended to keep the skull etc from deforming #id imagine it would probably come up postgame as something to do now theyre not on a time limit trying to save the country #plus i assume that having it gouged at by a sadness wasnt exactly a clean wound by any measure #all this to say. idk i just wanted to get some information across in comic form to Test my Abilities #and we're far enough down now to say my absolute most wretchingly sweet fluff headcanon that actually inspired this #which is that i think siffrin gets into the habit of not wearing the eyepatch around loop so they kinda match. #and as a signifier to the other that they're letting their guard down around them. vulnerability etc. #just kinda wearing it around their neck so they don't lose it

Hiya folks. Todays the ffxiv hair contest winers were announced and of of the styles I made won.

The one who will be implimented in game will be Natural curls.

These were made with my friends in mind (because I love them and they deserve more actual natural curls) while taking into consideration the lack of curly hair, the textures I know they would be able to make and how it would look like on non poc wols

The winning hair

This was the first and more simple one I made. I started out with the base shape then painted it over with a natural curl hair brush.

I wanted to make a texture I felt i’ve seen the devs make in Highlander/Midlander hair but no where else.

I simplified it for the quickly drawn examples … I have a feeling the end product might be closer to those instead of the more curly version. Here is to hoping no.

The ones I made but did not win, so wont get in game

The curly swoop

This one was actually requested by one of my friends.

She wanted me to try a hair still she wanted to have in real life. Due to the reasons stated on top, i had to loosen up the curls of the swoop to make it work with what i knew was a texture they could pull off and also work with non poc characters.

Old school ponytail

This one was inspired by nostalgia from when I was in grade school.

I remembered those hail tie balls so well and associated them with fond memories.

Sadly I didn’t think i could do my original idea of the thick cute braids i associated these with in a way that the game would make it not look racist/work with non poc characters so I focused on just the curls. It ended up reminding me of Terra from FF6 but more curly.

In the end. I’m glad Natural curls won. I really hope they get the texture right and curly.

I still feel awkward cause i’m white woman who submitted these. But I did them with love and support for my friends and to yell at SE to add more poc hair (wich i saw a shorter dreads hair and also a really elegant brais with poofy curls won so i guess my plan worked?)

I just hope this will make them make more hair with poc in mind so the players can eat well.

#ff14 #final fantasy xiv #ffxiv #ffxiv community #im still really sorry about having to tone the curls down just to make it work with white people #im really sorry #but seriously i just wanted se to make poc hair for once so my friends would be happier with actual hair that is textured like theirs

Pokemon trainer AU, Reborn is the champion meanwhile Tsuna is his apprentice. Tsuna’s design belongs to my friend @Cloud_Knee (Twt or X)

#katekyo hitman reborn #r27 #sawada tsunayoshi #reborn #my friend and i discussed about which pokemon would be in their team. eevee and umbreon was ther for their similar looks to r27 lol #flygon is a good candidate bc yk. leon. and for tsuna suprisingly we liked the idea of meloetta (bc meloetta has two forms like how tsuna- #-has his normal vibe and his dying will mode) #for reborn we thought of him having a liking for bug types bc of his bug communication skills. like his seasonal bug thing #we also thought of lore for a whole game which was heavily based on pokemon mystery dungeon bc we wanted death (future arc spoilers oof) #but general beginning plot is: tsuna dislikes having pokemon battles so all his pokemons are non-combat #- somehow he meets reborn (? idk maybe bro trips and got silly and he now owes reborn something). and reborn then seeing how close-minded- #tsuna is he decided to accept tsuna as his apprentice so he finally gets it #we discussed about tsuna also seeing reborn often at a lot of places but never got in contact (bc we thought of him living on a mountain idk #like how everyone cant see through reborn’s disguises but he can. so he’ll just see him around (bc reborn is hiding himself from the public) #as a champion. yeah #yeah thats about it i think. ive forgotten most of our ideas dkdgkgfhfhfj maybe another time

there's no way abed hasn't watched (and enjoyed) fight club, so flat 303 group costume!

anyway version for when troy's properly got over the toxic masculinity below:

#first instinct abed as narrator troy as tyler based both on build and general disposition BUT #out of both of them abed would be the one organising fight clubs and projects mayhem because of the BIT bro #and if we're really thinking about it annie's WAY more like the narrator than troy. clinging to hingedness by her fingernails #ok final thought abed as tyler is HOT. you agree. #community #nbc community #community nbc #community fanart #abed nadir #troy barnes #annie edison #troy and abed #trobed #trobedison #🦎 art #apartment 303 #fight club

The thing driving me so insane about Loid and Yor communicating so openly is that this is how a couple in an actual relationship would address the problems they're having

She's asking him to rely on her, saying that he doesn't need to put up appearances all the time, that she knows he's capable but she's here to help and wants to, that he doesn't need to be perfect.

They're in a fake marriage. Loid has repeatedly told her she doesn't have to do anything but be around for specific events, but Yor still genuinely took up the role of Anya's mom and has been actively working to be a good mother to her fake husband's daughter this entire time, and now she's gently pushing back on Loid about not helping him either.

They aren't in love yet, or at least aren't aware of any developing feelings, but Yor is still reaching out to Loid in a way that someone in a real committed relationship would to their partner. She doesn't need to!! She's completely in her right to not help him, to not care!! He has given her the explicit permission of it multiple times!! But she cares about him, Anya, and Bond, this little family they've created. She wants him to lean on her like she does on him

#spy x family #sxf manga spoilers #twiyor #loidyor #whether you ship loidyor romantically or as qpps the writing of their relationship has been the best fake marriage i've ever seen hands down #she! cares! for! him! & want to help! & he's even realizing that he wishes he could lean on her more but cant! AHHH #but legit this was such healthy communication in this chapter that its like do either of you remember this is fake? that youre basically #roommates co-parenting a child who pretend to be married for your own respective safety? yor is an assassin. having a distant relationship #to her fake husband would only make that all easier for her but SHE DOESNT WANT THAT SHE WANTS TO BE CLOSER TO HIM!! BC SHE CARES ABOUT HIM #& APPRECIATES ALL HE DOES FOR HER!!! AND HES FINALLY REALIZING HOW MUCH HER HAPPINESS MEANS TO HIM TOO!! AHHHH #i'm being so normal about this #tc posts

I wonder what the kids and teachers in luz's school think of her now. Shes stopped "terrorizing" other kids, mainly because she seems to have stopped engaging with most of her classmates period. She no longer brings live animals or taxidermy to school. She even participates in english class occasionally, even if she doesnt "get" the point of the book. Her rants only clock as suicidal if you know about her time in the boiling isles which the people at her school do not.

I wonder if luz's teachers and schoolmates think that luz mellowed out over the summer. If the principal/counselor that suggested she go to the camp patted himself on the back because shes "improved."

#the owl house #toh #shut up pandora #luz noceda #something something people see a neurodivergent kid having depression and breathe a sigh of relief bc now theyre finally 'normal' #people speculate maybe luz would have been fine going to the summer camp and while i agree she would have made friends #she would not have been fine! she would have just learned to suppress her identity like camila did #but going to the boiling isles was her only option bc she either gets suppressed quickly at the summer camp #or she keeps acting out at school and eventually society wears her down and shames her into conforming like it did to her mom #something about how even if the camp helps luz act like a 'normal person' she still would have been miserable bc she couldnt be herself #it temporarily benefits her by giving her friends and benefits ppl around her by making her act 'normal' #but the kids there are still weird at heart! they have a community to be weird around now but society at large will still look down on them #unless they put on a front all the time to fit in #and the boiling isles isnt perfect either its society still looks down on luz for being different #but it accepts her neurodivergence and her new friends are all neurodivergent like her so she still has a community to be herself around #and while it looks down on her for having no natural magic it isnt something shes been shamed about growing up like her neurodivergence was #anyway the camp wasnt as catastrophic as luz thought it would be and vee benefitted from it #but it still represented a slow rot. the kind that eats away at neurodivergent kids as they grow up #slowly shaming them to hide away parts of themselves deemed unfit for society #and when you hide behind a front and are exhausted and miserable from it #everyone applauds you for your 'recovery.' youve improved yourself. they never liked the old you #good job on destroying yourself and shoving the pieces into a facsimile of what the people around you think you ought to be

build-a-bear but for whump tumblr; i call it build-a-whumpee

for those who missed the starter post i made, to summarize: all these links lead to individual polls with various answers relating to the topic of kidnapping. all you have to do is recreate your favorite scenario by going down the list and voting in each one, and at the end of the seven days, i will go back and see what all the winning answers are and make a grand finale post summarizing what Whump Tumblr's Ideal Kidnapped Whumpee looks like (based on the popular vote of a poll game, if you don't vibe with it that is totally fair and cool <3)

without further ado, let's figure out what our favorite flavor of kidnapped whumpee is >:3

does the whumpee attempt to fight off their kidnappers before the inevitable takes place?

is the whumpee capable of escaping the situation themself?

what is their emotional state during their predicament?

is there more than one kidnapper responsible?

are they the only one kidnapped, or are others with them?

how involved is the kidnapper after the initial kidnapping?

do they have friends/a family that are/is informed of the situation, or do those people need to figure out whumpee is in trouble themselves?

do they have friends/a family that are/is willing to rescue them?

are they eventually rescued?

if they do get rescued, how do they react to it?

what is the aftermath of the kidnapping if it ever ends?

how much comfort is involved in said aftermath?

i tried to cover as many corners surrounding the idea of a kidnapping plotline as i could, but if you think i left something out, feel free to let me know in the comments of this post and i'll add a little section to the end of the finale post that is similar to little extra notes people add at the end of large surveys :)

Uhhh so i might consider permashifting?

not gonna say too much about my personal life but lets just say its not going too well for me and i hate it.

Since i only got a month till my 2nd semester finally ends , im gonna use up that time to shift to my Fame DR, stay there for weeks or months, come back here cuz i wanna do storytimes and probably shift again, possibly a permashift

However, If i do end up permashifting, i have planned on coming back for a couple of days and go back to shifting again. Even tho i said that I'm going thru a tough time, I do love my friends and family here and i just want to check up on them and see what i have missed,,, (they also exist in my Fame DR btw)

This is gonna be a tough decision to make guys, wish me luck 😟😟😟

#im gonna be missing a whole month of school and upcoming finals #but would you rather go through another month of school before it ends or live your life as a rich famous model? EXACTLY #permashifting #permashift #not a respawn btw #desired reality #reality shifting #shiftblr #fame dr #shifting #reality shift #shifters #shifting community #shifting realities #shifting antis dni

i really really really like that elora, bear, willie jack, and cheese are all still friends in the end. none of them got together romantically. theyre really close and they love each other so much and theyre friends. i was so afraid that when bear and elora had that moment in the chapel they were going to confess feelings for each other but they didnt. theyre friends and they love each other and arent afraid to say it. they hugged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and theyre friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#i just finished catching up with rez dogs and the series finale #oh man #i am sososososo glad theyre all just. one big happy family #THEYRE FAMILY!!!!!!

Recently, a 4-hour video essay on plagiarism in the YouTube space came out from YouTuber hbomberguy. The video made some big claims with damning evidence against some big-name YouTubers—the first half focusing on two channels with significant-sized audiences. The 2nd half focuses on James Somerton, a gay video essayist primarily known for his queer video essays on tv and film. To summarize hbomberguy's video (this will not do it justice if you have the time, I highly recommend the original video it's so gripping it doesn't feel like 4 hours), Somerton plagiarized most of his content significantly. The twist here is that Somerton's persona was that of gay representation when he stole his content and ideas from much smaller queer writers who saw none of the profits from their stolen content. The content he wrote was often misogynistic, with double standards on the way women engage with pop culture. Then, when concerned fans saw that his work was almost word for word of an article or book, Somerton would claim that the concerns were in bad faith from targeted homophobes sending him death threats. This situation hit many topics we've covered: virtue signaling, representation, Marxist theory, & feminist theory. I really looked at this situation from a more meta-narrative; what can we learn from the Somerton situation to better understand rhetorical criticism and analysis? As we try to understand pop culture through these different lenses, I think it is essential to take away to understand the power of a platform. Queer fans really engaged with Somerton's work because they believed him to be a trusted source from their community. This is why it is so devesting that he stole the words and ideas from other queer people who did not benefit from their hard work. Somerton stole without regard for his community, even stealing the ideas of men who died in the AIDS crisis. This made me think about how important our work as communication scholars is. By first recognizing and building on our community ideas, we succeed together. We must continue to research and analyze media in good faith and lift up the writers who came before us.

i'm pretty curious about this, since it seems like i hear a lot of similar experiences despite it being oddly specific:

(this is just based on the most common hyper-specific situations ive heard from other autistic people)

ALSO. if you're autistic and you never did any of these things, THAT'S OKAY. please do not become insecure over your own experiences if they don't perfectly match everyone else's- every autistic person is different

#sas says #polls #my polls #autism #actually autistic #autism community #autism culture #for me personally: i never learned to swim whistle OR tie my shoes and i still suck at all three to this day #i also used to walk on my toes all the time and earned the nickname twinkletoes #and finally i learned the alphabet and LOTS of spelling unbelievably fast. i think by the age of two. meanwhile i also refused to speak #until i was like 4 years old and would just speak an 'alien language' described by my parents
