neuvi is meeting his peepaw rn

#genshin impact #caluutalks #4.6 spoilers #genshin spoilers #so...... arlecchino's story huh... #god she's so cool and complex and interesting and I LOVE HER STORY QUEST #def one of (if not) the best atm. her bossfight is so cool. I'll ramble more abt her later when i post art of her (i swear im finishing it) #back to scylla n neuvi #so. yeah. we got confirmation that scylla's the prev hydro dragon. ain't that cool. [refer to edit at the bottom] #also i read on the hoyo web prior to 4.6 that he's gonna function as our remurian taxi and i was vv excited for scylla every since #bc it tickles me SO MUCH that the previous hydro dragon that we're gonna meet soon IS GOING TO BE OUR PERSONAL TAXI #also like at the end of the quest we're buddy buddy with him and calling him big guy. I fucking love that. we besties fr #plus scylla did say that he plans to meet neuvillette sometime after the events of the quest so.. #so I might be drawing that too for funsies. #anw i'll be doing exploration and later finish the arlecchino art. cya my dear fellows! #edit: apparently I misread and it seems like scylla isn't the prev hydro dragon?? and that he's a powerful vishap (smth of the sort). #either way I'm still probs gonna draw the idea of neuvi and scylla meeting but ig somethings will change. #either way. sorry for the confusion folks.

hi, I just wanted to ask if you ever watched or read houseki no kuni because I feel your art style would suit it incredibly, considering the crunchiness of the original characters and the crunchiness of your art (in a complimentary way). It's a really awesome series though it made me cry a little lol

anyways have a lovely day and good luck with school n life n stuff :3

i’ve gotten it recommended a lot, it’s on my to read list!! i’ve heard it’s really good :D i like started the anime but never finished it so maybe i’ll get around to that sometime ;__;

#i’m reading dungeon meshi rn so maybe i’ll check it out after :D #ask koko #i’m excited though !! i lovee bort’s design and i know ppl have said the crystal like look would suit this artstyle so i’ll def try to + #draw some of them :)

why does butch = top surgery? genuine question

Short answer: It doesn't! Hope this helps <3

Long answer: I'm gonna ignore the fact that this is probably an inflammatory bait question of someone who did not even bother to check my blog and see the diversity in butch bodies that I draw. So far only 2 of the butches I've drawn have top surgery, while the rest don't <3

So! First of all I have never said anything of the sort n_n it's a term of how one identifies, you know? What a butch woman does with their body is no one's business, some butch women take T, some even get top surgery. Butches explore masculinity in their own way and that's just how THEY embody butchness.

I'm a butch woman and I don't take T nor plan on getting top surgery, yet that is how EEEEEYE embody my butch identity and it doesn't invalidate neither mine or another woman's butchness. The way I identify as a butch doesn't mean I won't draw other ways of butchhood, I aim to draw every type of butch woman I can think of! I love butch women! I want them to be loved in every way they choose to present! I want other butches to feel handsome with my art and for femmes to see a dashing handsome woman <333

I want to draw fat butches, thin butches, buff butches, trans butches, butches who go on T, butches who choose not to, non-binary butches, etc!

And before you or anyone else asks because I know they will, no, this has nothing to do with trans men. Butch women can choose to take T and get top surgery and it won't make them men, on the same slot as trans men can choose NOT to get it and it doesn't change the fact they're men. It is an individual way of presenting that at the end of the day doesn't concern you! I hope this helped you a ton!!

I LOOOVE talking about lesbianism and the diversity of butch women! Ask again soon and have a good day!! <333

#ask ducky #if you need any more information on butchhood I def recommend reading some books on it <3 #books on lesbianism and the way that butch women present as well as the way that femme lesbians subvert patriarchal femininity #etc etc etc go crazy!! i'm sure you'll learn a ton #i'm not much of a reader but i assure you that when you find a topic you can sink your teeth into oohhhhhh #it makes my brain tickle #ESPECIALLY when you can find old feminist books that take into account the fact that trans women exist #it's so exciting and fulfilling to read the way that lesbianism intersects and the way cis and trans women can feel about womanhood #and the way that they choose to present in their own identity #I love my sisters!! I love being a lesbian!! I love women!! #lesbian #butch

honestly unsure how this happened but i feel like it sums up my mental state pretty well

#i just think i’m a little bit insane about it rn #got the box set (box set 3) for £1.50 and i’ve never in my life been happier with a purchase #got book 4 and new spring today how exciting #i’ve only read 1 and 2 but we don’t talk about it #taking a wee break to read good omens and maybe howls then straight back into it #lanfear #wheel of time #wot #wot on prime #natasha o'keeffe #wot fanfic #wheel of time book spoilers #idk books #books and reading #books #the way babe says book is so adorable #she’s def not reading this #ily bby and i’ll be editing lanfear 4evr xx

God I miss novel WeiLan.

Novel Shen Wei: “I want to literally eat you whole so that I have you with me for the rest of eternity. I couldn’t bear to be apart from you so I’ve stalked you for hundreds of years and I have a locked room full of pictures of you from all your past lives. I only started working closely with this part of the police because you became the chief. I can and have killed for you and I have broken so many rules, but since I’ve decided that I’m the ultimate power, I’ve also decided the rules don’t apply to me and so I will continue to break those rules.”

Novel Yunlan: “So, you do like the curtains?”

#weilan #zhao yunlan #shen wei #guardian #guardian zhen hun #incorrect quotes #the inane ramblings of a madman #they are translating guardian!!! #i am!!! so!!! excitement!!! #can’t wait #to read shen wei’s terrible human impression #he tries? #humans definitely act like that 10/10 acting shen wei #humans def get so drunk #they try to eat their buddies #only to unposess their own bodies #common occurrence we’ve all been there #fuckin love novel shen wei #the most unhinged man

Clicks the CLIENTS tab.

How do you tell that that’s the time you’re supposed to take charge, make a move, fucking run after him?

Types in Ian—Shit, did he really not even get the guy’s last name?

How come there ain’t some kinda dumbass prophecy to help him out that says: On this day, at this time, some smoking redhead’s gonna come into the shop. He’s not there to see you, but he is there for you. Don’t fuck it up.

If anyone needs me I’ll be thinking about spider & quinni being secret friends

#heartbreak high #no this wouldn’t make sense in canon #but it’s real to me #I love them #I just think he’d show his vulnerability with her & she’d never push it yk? #like they text about her comic books and he talks about how he used to read superhero comics as a kid and rlly liked them #and they both get all excited about it (spiders neurodivergent fight me) #but when they see each other in school and they don’t talk at lunch or whatever quinni isn’t mad #I just think they’d understand each other #and I def think spider would help quinni with advice about girls. like real advice not bs guy shi yk #spider heartbreak high #quinni heartbreak high #spider white #quinni gallagher jones #quinni & spider #<<will be filling that tag #even if I’m the only one who sees them as besties

I ran this morning AND wrote some AND made art and I’m so proud of me

#didn’t get any of my actual office work done oopsies #but in my defense it’s a Friday and also I did allot time for it I just ended up not doing it #anyways still proud of me!!! guys art is so so important and I know that and I preach that but I haven’t been doing it #and I just picked up a blank sheet of paper and did it #and is it good or anatomically correct? no but it was so FUN #and I’ve been working thought Tim Clare’s writing stuff and it’s been GOOD #I like this new series of exercises a lot better than the couch to 80k #they’re. the same honestly and I don’t actually care about his commentary all that much #maybe I’m just more present or more invested in them #I only ran for 15. min and then I had to call my brother to pick me up because the heat was gonna make me pass out :/ #but also I TRIED #I fucking tried today #also did u know running is utterly miserable. #runners high is def a thing #felt amazing afterward #but holy shit it’s awful in the moment #my roommate ran a 25k recently and I talked to her about it and she said it never gets better #which is. not very encouraging #but also I Want To run as much of this 5k as I can #maybe I’ll be dead after but it’s fine I have a couple days to recuperate before the eclipse #WHICH IM ALSO EXCITED SBOIT. I’ve never seen a total eclipse before #goddamit my brain jumped to too many places #delete later #anyways. if u didn’t u should acknowledge ur accomplishments today #even if they didn’t feel like much #now I’m gonna go read a 115k fanfic that’s gonna wreck me #that’s my treat to me #I HAVE ACTUAL BOOKS TO FINISH. but NO. THIS is how I’m spending my time. and it’s fine I’m valid #I’ve been talking to all the lesbians about running too #and they’ve been so encouraging too!! I love my coworkers and very distantly related coworkers sm

Alright, doing one more poll bc in my hubris I had forgotten that I abandoned not one, not two, but technically four on-going fics in the Magic Fam AU 😭

This poll will be for 3 of them, bc the 4th was a collab & my coauthor has gone mia but I don’t want to continue it without her (miss ya squids 💕)

So after I catch up on the magic fam prompts in my inbox first…

Synopsis for each of them+a link to my fic collection under the cut:

Link to the Collection on Ao3

Chance Encounters of the Demonic Kind - the Origin Story™️ of how things went immediately after Constantine accidentally summoned Raven & how he and Zatanna ended up taking her in. There’s a few things about this fic that I want to edit & expand on (& ultimately conclude ofc)! But know that it will largely remain intact (at least I’m hoping so).

Arkham Exorcism - a tale of Ravens first Official™️ mission with John & Zee’s turmoil as a backdrop. Oh also the asylum, the ghosts &/or demon that may or may not haunt it, and a couple of cameos from some of our favorite rogues, can’t forget about that. A rlly self-indulgent fic bc I loved (& still do love) the Arkham games & wanted to give two sides of dc a love letter in the form of fic. Similar sitch where I’ve been editing some of the previously published chapters over the years and will be reworking just a bit of it. God it’s really been awhile since I touched it publicly tho akdjksj

Little Miss Moonbeam - Harley & Ivy kind of, sort of, accidentally? maybe not so accidentally kidnap Raven for a road-trip back to Gotham. Naturally, Zatanna is not happy with this, especially give where she & Raven had left things off. This one actually probably has more snippets here on tumblr that it has on ao3, but those pieces are flashes of inspo from prompts. I have the general plot laid out and some scenes here n there in a skeleton form. But this is another one that I’ll be editing just a tad and building up a whole heck of a lot from.

Tbh all three of these are near and dear to my heart, which is probably another reason why I’ve been so paralyzed by indecision on which one to focus on. Hence why im leaving it up to y’all! Thank you everyone who voted in the last poll and thanks in advance to everyone participating now 🙏

#randyvents #polls #same as last time: don’t mind too much if y’all reblog this but I def don’t want it breaching containment ykwim? #it’s such a niche thing anyways I think we’ll be fine akdjsj #leaving this one open a bit longer to give me time to finish the Ficlet prompts and also to boost a couple times in between 👍 #alright let’s have a GOOD POLL EVERYONE lmao #(oh also note abt squids bc I realized how it kinda reads up there: it’s just been awhile since she’s been active on tumblr! #idk what happened but I’m hoping that she’s just living her best life!!!) #alright okay last ramble: I’m just excited the decision is gonna be outta my hands now 😂

[hannibalismos-jaaneman]

i read a hannigram fic last night where op decided it was an okay thing to mention vatsyayana and my brain chemistry is fucked now.

#raj shitposting #afghdaklkjfdakjfgaskjgf #so for context i read the kamasutra as a joke earlier last month and istg i was not expecting what i read. #bro- listen i thought it'd be about heterosexual sex only but it's really not specified IN SO MANY PLACES IT MAKES ME WANNA YELL. #there's this entire section in the text about scents. now idk how many of y'all know seema anand but you should def check out her tedtalk. #because she kinda boils it down to the very basics with the best examples for all of those who do not want their brain chemistry altered. #and that was what got me into her stuff and i read the arts of seduction a couple years back but i wasn't unhinged back then- #-so i forgot all about it until like a month or so back when i came across a video of hers on yt and damn those floodgates BROKE man. #which lead to me finally putting my foot down and reading that shit and JESUS FUCKING CHRIST- #so back to where we were. there's this entire section about scents alright? and we all know where this is going so bear with me please. #so this section talks about how different scents stimulate excitement and how different parts of the body should be scented. #like seema anand does NOT warn you about how fucking DETAILED this shit is in the original text. AT ALL. #it's got i think somewhere around 600 different scents and the optimum intensity of the scents for like IDK TURNING INTO A MONSTER. #so like when i read the fic my brain thought HEY THESE ARE TWO UNHEALTHY OBSESSIONS OF THIS FUCKING SICKO THAT SHOULD ALIGN RIGHT? BOOM. #and i imagined post fall will experimenting with scents for fun and shit because why not who's to stop him at this point in his life? #and then my brain flashed me a very vivid image of hannibal BURYING his face into will's waist to smell the perfume he put there- #and then my brain short circuited because that is too powerful an image for a mortal brain to comprehend. #i don't think anyone will understand what the fuck it is that i'm on about but y'all should watch that ted talk. #and get ahold of the nearest fic writer you know and force them to write a fic on this BECAUSE THIS IS THE PROMPT THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. #this is actual psychosexual bullshit and istg i've had SO MANY vivid dreams ABOUT SCENTS ALONE it's making me lose my fucking mind. #GAAAAAAAAAAAAH #hannigram #hannibal

[starvinginbelair]

as a criminology student, i would honestly love to read an comics arc about the role of the police in vigilantism because i just think it's under-discussed for such a nuanced and complex topic.

#marvel comics #dc comics #honestly i just may not have read it yet #i'm pretty new still to comics and am only just working my way through some of the really important runs and events #not trying to defend the police here btw just like #i find it so interesting that although the point of vigilantism is to go AGAINST the police system #so many heroes still work closely with the police and trust somewhat in the way they're doing things #maybe it's more of an ongoing point of conversation that can't be explored in just a 'run' or smth #but i don't think it's really talked about enough nowadays #it's why i'm really excited for the upcoming 'absolute power' stuff from dc even though everyone seems to dislike waller #like it's a government entity getting involved in superheroism and inherently blurring the lines between what's good and what's bad #and talking about HOW to deal with crime and whether or not the superhero way is the right way or not #i like that it's bringing up these important topics #hot take but i definitely think if they brought back a character in the mythos that worked within the system #they could have an even better conversation about all of this #i def need to like take a look through the '90s/'00s nightwing runs again #but i think officer dick grayson was a good idea with just horrible execution #it was very much like 'you CAN fix corruption if you just get the right individuals in there' #which i definitely do not think is true #but the idea of having someone who has seen the system from the outside being put into the fold #and realizing that there's so much about the system that we DO NOT KNOW ABOUT #and dealing with the moral dilemmas of being in an occupation filled with oxymorons #and trying to figure out if they can handle this type of life #i think it would be at the very least good for character development #anyways #that's my rant #q speaks

currently reading Camp Sylvania by Julie Murphy and it’s making me realize i need to take more chances on middle grade books because i’m loving it so much. i’m only like 80 pages in but i’m enjoying it just as much as any other book. it really is just as complex and well written as a lot of the ya and adult books i read, it’s just written in a way that younger kids can also understand.

#also i’m already so excited for the sequel! #that one’s gonna be about werewolves and Crystal Maldonado is co-writing it #i actually found this series because i read Fat Chance Charlie Vega and was looking for more books by Maldonado #this is my first book by Julie Murphy and i’ll def be picking up some of her YA after this #reed reads camp sylvania #camp sylvania #julie murphy #middle grade #middle grade fiction #fat positive books #books #bookish #reading #my thoughts
