#different vibes ig

[thisisadonaldduckblognow]

all the rise boys get done dirty on characterization by fandom in different ways i think. (not ALL the time every fanwork etc etc these are just like, trends i tend to notice?) every fandom suffers from losing character nuance.

- leo i’ve talked about plenty on this blog, how some of his canon traits (genuine belief in his skill and cockiness, capacity for joy, his manipulativeness whether for good or ill) seem to get watered down or wiped off the board and supplemented with generic sad boy. his struggles with purpose and identity and not wanting to fail somehow morph into “he hates and completely holds no value for himself”

- donnie’s canon personality gets blurred out and largely replaced with whatever list of Neurodivergent Traits. and i think there’s such a fine line to walk between exploring a character that’s been word of god confirmed as on the spectrum and overwriting what’s canonically there. it’s a hard needle to thread. it also feels like a lot of his canon emotiveness gets left off the table for some reason. bc he does have his moments of flat/deadpan delivery, but a lot of the time he’s honestly very emotive. he has the passion of a theatre kid and the vindictiveness of... also a theatre kid. and the mind of a scientist.

- raph loses so much of his rowdy teen boy energy it’s kind of wild? like interpretations sand off that he’s also impulsive and can be reckless and dumb and LOVES fighting and roughhousing and isn’t the most eloquent person. suddenly there’s this pitch perfect soft boy big bro who would never hurt a fly and always says the exact right supportive thing and singlehandedly raised his 3 brothers (which simultaneously sands off all the nuance of splinter’s issues emotionally connecting with his sons and how that affected all of them). and like i LOVE raph, he’s so full of love and care and anxiety, he clearly has learned to put a lot of work into being aware of his strength and size. but there’s a difference you know?

- mikey is like. where raph gets overparentified by fanon, mikey gets over “family therapist”-ed IMO. the impulsiveness, the goofiness, the powerful emotions including a VERY powerful temper, the flat-out dumb teen boy choices... they get ignored. suddenly there’s this only very sweet and earnest boy who has read a hundred psychology books and runs group family therapy weekly or something. he is crying in his room bc leo and raph are arguing about something. which is so. he IS very sweet and can be very earnest and is full of love! he HAS come in with his opinions and unsolicited advice a couple of times and life coached for the greater good. but there’s a difference between what he does in canon and the role he gets in fanon.

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #idk this is not a very eloquent rundown its very hard to explain exactly my vibe #ig the long story short is i feel like a lot of their most interesting and fun qualities get left in the dust #mikey as family therapist is getting under my skin the most rn i think its just so. #for as much as it seems like his brothers try to shelter him (esp raph with his overprotectiveness)..... i just dont see it #i dont see his brothers and definitely not his dad putting their issues on him like that... #him dragging donnie into that one dr feelings session and dragging draxum into a new moral alignment were different #than 'yeah everyone tells mikey their stuff and he has to do the labor of helping with it' #like it just doesnt vibe for me #i think he is very emotionally OPEN on all levels compared to his family #i think he is more likely to share when HE struggles #i dont think raph or leo is sitting with him at 3am like 'it all started when i was 4 and accidentally broke a plate' or what have you idk #it's all so ymmv i do just scroll past stuff i dont vibe with i dont drop hate on it i just #idk dudes its so hard to see the appeal in some of the choices made

something i really like about GSNK is that it’s about a group of friends, but it isn’t about a friend group. everyone knows each other so there can be interesting interactions between any combo of the main characters, but it’s not like all seven of the main characters ever hang out all together at once, so there’s never any sort of feeling that it’s forced to include everybody in every comic. 

in fact a big part of GSNK is everyone knowing each other, but not knowing that others know each other, or not knowing their ‘true identity’ (like mikoshiba being unaware of who does backgrounds for nozaki’s manga while chiyo knows, or everyone knowing seo is lorelei while wakamatsu is unaware of it).

it feels realistic in a way to portray people as having multiple overlapping friend groups instead of just only one tight group of friends who they always hang out with. it’s an interesting dynamic that i rarely see to this extent with main characters in other slice of life/sitcom series

#gsnk #gekkan shoujo nozaki kun #text #if you compare it to a show like friends or community for example #another thing is that the overlapping friend groups isn't just within the main seven but includes drama club and basketball team etc #i never had a designated friend group growing up (creep and weirdo) so i do like GSNK a lot for this #it feels like my interaction with online friends lol? like i got friends into different media and sometimes it overlaps ig #that's the vibes

I love posting gay art on Instagram because then my comments will just be full of "history will say they were best friends <3" every single time

#this sounds sarcastic but im being genuine #only on ig not on twitter or here #there is a different vibe to each audience and its fascinating

Culture - for the second day of @hetalia-rarepairweek ✨

I have recently been told about the British superstition of magpies and how of saluting magpies will ward off bad luck. The saluting is to show respect to the bird often connected with bad omens so that nothing bad will happen to you 🍂

#hetalia #rarepairweek2023 #hetalia-rarepairweek #scotnor #aph norway #aph scotland #hws norway #hws scotland #this should perhaps have been under day 4 with folklore??? but it fit okay with today as well ig #felt like playing around with colours and the autumn vibes going on atm 🥰🥰 #the magpies were surprisingly fun to draw - I usually suck at drawing animals but birds are okay #So fun how different countries will have these kind of superstitions that are so specific and other countries won't have heard about #I wonder what things we do in Norway that's Norway-specific 🤔🤔 #I need to read up on all my books about superstitions and folklore 😅😅 this is def the season for it

so The World Of Mr Plant is actually rly cool

Image ID: a digital illustration of Mr Plant from the web series The World Of Mr Plant. He is sitting on a white bed and is looking at the "camera". Behind him is an open doorway cloaked in pitch black darkness. The room is dimly lit and the lighting has a distinctly purpley blue color to it.

#lizard dumbass's art #the world of mr plant #ashur gharavi #mr plant #this random ass tiktok dreamcore horror series is now taking up space in my brain so i had to draw him #tbh this was more so an excuse to get myself to draw more because i rarely ever make a full proper completed illustration and its been #making me feel inadequate as an artist :') #anyway im fairly pleased with how this came out #i tried to capture the liminal dream-like vibe of the series #also i got this done in 1 day which is neat ig since i tend to draw very slowly and it can take days for me to just draw #a simple character render #its also during the process of this art that i realized that mr plant's current flower petals are different from the ones in the first ep #i think ashur might have replaced them after the babysitting episode where one of the flower babies tore a piece of a petal off #twomp #mr plant twomp

This is a special genre of f1 picture(to ME.)

#ive talked a lot about helmets lately oops #i guess i just rly have an obsession with how they're an extension of the driver #and a representation of them and their only sense of personality and individuality when theyre all geared up #so theres something to me about the separation of helmet from driver like in these pics #of course theres pics of the helmet on its own for model kinda pics(like all the pics i used for my past project posts) #but this is its own genre. helmet doing its own thing. helmet away from the vicinity of its owner #helmet being protected from the elements. it has its own carrying bag. it gets an umbrella. etc etc #the first pic made me on the lookout for pics w a similar vibe. IDK WHY BUT IM RLY OBSESSED WITH IT #having a severe helmet fucker era </3 i look at these and i feel very weird about them 😭 #not included cause its a differnt genre but also thinking abt pics where someone other than the driver themselves is holding their helmet #theres something weirdly intimate to me about it. its too reminiscent of that one painting of the germanic warrior holding the roman helmet #<- DO YOU GET WHAT IM IMPLYING HERE. #anyways. i digress. helmet being taken care of and protected is cute to me #its such an extension of the driver so its kinda funny ig that they get their own photoshoots #also yeah these are all nando helmets bcs i couldn't find pics from other drivers that i thought had the same vibe #and i think its interesting how these correlate with whom the photographer is and the level of popularity of the driver #like are you popular enough that someone will see your helmet apart from you and think its important enough for a pic? #and its so interesting comparing pics from the same time from different teams #bcs you can see how different the motivations of the different photographers are based on what the pics are like #well blah blah blah helmet kink blah blah blah #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #helmet

i figured since its taking me so long to draw the other champions that i would be nice and post the girls outfits already...😔

#pokemon #champion cynthia #champion iris #champion diantha #was kind of going for kind of different vibes for all of them??? #cynthias champion look is HEAVILY inspired by french-teapot's cynthia redesign btw! #i drew dianthas first which is the real reason hers looks more fancy and over the top than the other twos....but #i also wanted it to be kind of theatrical ig? since she is a big movie actress? and as kind of a contrast to her casual look #also i still have to draw nearly all the men. idec if hers is ooc at this point. it looks decent. its fine. #and ik that iris's champion look is definitely less fancy?? than canon but...thats bc i dont really? like her canon champion outfit... #and wanted something that felt like it wasnt just her original outfit but. bigger? #....oh my god nvm i need to shut up. these tags are getting too long. #dear lord. what am i going to be like if and when i finish the whole damn thing and put them all in a photoset....

Do yourself a favor and take a seat for this one fam 👍

I fell upon a point The axis of the spectrum To bathe in abstract joy Or die without direction

Determined steps we take But please, for goodness sake We’re not gonna make it out alive

I sit for wasted days and toil in desperation To weep beneath a sky of fractured indication Let faith lead you down But please, for goodness sake We’re not alive; we’re just getting older

I would help you, but I can’t Seems that time got the upper hand To live yet never understand Is there a purpose?

But you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders

But you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Do we) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Deserve this) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Do we) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Deserve this)

Live by the subordinate belief That we are more than this we live By the subordinate belief That we are more than this we live

Okay so you guys are just gonna have to trust me on this one. This came from an(other) anon source since the link on Way Back Machine is dead. This was published to Ves's YouTube channel on July 15, 2012. The description said something along the lines of this (basing it off memory, it's very loose):

I wrote this song about the idea that humans have evolved beyond our means. We suffer implications due to our sentience and awareness of our world, which leads us to questions we cannot answer. Animals are programmed to fear death but they probably aren't aware of its inevitability, where humans most certainly are, but are totally powerless to stop it.

Update on this song as of December 2023:

Two different Anons provided me with more background info. The first screenshot is the original description that Ves had (he also worded things in a much better and more Vessel way than I did lol). The second screenshot is copy+paste text from the lyrics portion below the description. I updated the lyrics to reflect the text.

#lost media #circa 2012 #song heaven is a spectrum #screaming sobbing throwing up #i am unwell #i simply cannot with this man #maybe i'm in it too deep but #you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders #is a 10/10 banger fucking lyric #this song fucks so hard #i think this is my second favorite song he's written #including all of ST #nothing surpasses atlantic for me tho #i vibe with existential dread ig #i really hope you guys were sitting down with some good headphones #because this gave me harder feels than euclid #anyway #lyrics are a massive guess on this one #its 2012 so he probs had lyrics in the description #but i have no good link :( #if you hear something different pls lmk

[basilbots]

you got my interest. that's sounds interesting tho!

Thank you! Don't have super coherent thoughts to describe it, but Eclipse and Sun can be a very interesting pair. I'm a sucker for Eclipse redemption and aus where they catch him much earlier and develop from there. QPR Sun and Eclipse can be so good in a similar way I've seen the canon DCA be interpreted. It's complex, it's not as simple as friend or brother but not romantic either. I love the idea of them being connected, Eclipse may have Moon's memories yes but who and what he is very much comes from Sun too. He's not just a Moon in a Sun's body. If Moon is Sun's opposite in a pair then Eclipse posses the same traits just adjusted to different levels. Eclipse can be Sun's dark reflection, and their relationship can be the two hating what they perceive to be the worst parts of themselves. But also they're in a position where they could understand each other better than anyone else. Help each other and start to understand themselves better through the other. If Eclipse just stopped dedicating his life to making Moon's worse and moved on from that to start connecting to other people. I love the idea of Sun clicking with Eclipse despite everything and it growing from there. And it's not like how Sun feels with Moon or Lunar, but it's still very nice and close. In Silly Celestials I don't focus on Eclipse and Sun's relationship much in favor of Clip and Lunar/Bloodmoon/KC, so it's not as deep they label themselves as simple siblings. But it could be way more than that and I love my friend's concepts where they do more with it just- The vision is there I care about them.

#this post is riding on vibes rn Im sorry #also as complicated as their feelings are how it comes out is a lot of cuddles and 'thats my person' dfcgvh #basil asks #empyrean qpr #is ig what Im calling this?? #would have used solar but thats a whole different character! #sun and moon show #tsams #sams eclipse #sams sun

Hhhhighschool au bus ride with trouble from @shepherds-of-haven ;;;; haha

#shepherds of haven #trouble alder #halle beren #if you were wondering why red and the others had such different styles it’s bc this is the missing link #thought I’d try and paint aka no lines! and a background! wild! #anyway in a hs au where their respective single parents are alive #trouble is supported and thriving as the king of social butterflies #she is less feral but also less confident and she pines for him night and day #she is positive he can’t be that thick and he just wants to be friends - every time she tries to ask him out he invites a group #hang in there girl #this will all come to a head where she swears off her feelings for him and finally starts dating the guy from her smart girl class #and trouble who has always kinda liked that tall redhead or whatever suddenly wants to crack his head in the door #-what’s he got that I don’t got?- but all the girls just laugh at him so he sulks #what do you mean you’re going to the library with him what about our Tuesday night taco tradition??? bruh #the vibe as always is energetic extrovert x introverted baddie #teenage trouble punches walls and that’s a shame but also can’t be untrue #here ig he’s like 17 and she’s 18?? they both live in the poorer district of the city and she uses his mum’s laundromat #it’s a fixture in the community and part of the reason he’s so nosy and earnestly involved with everyone #her ears are pierced so much to mimic THE halek prince of whom she has a picture of in her locker #she is overthinking which music to play on their shared earphones even though he’s off with the fairies #this is why AirPods suck like the intimacy of earphones is unparalleled it’s all about the lean #anyway no doubt years of on and off infatuation vs his obliviousness culminates in dating someone else and avoidance #until either his dad shows up out of nowhere and he bangs on her door in the rain OR like her dad does something extra depresso #and she goes to him straight away #then there is a dramatic confession at the school festival or something #or his mum whacks him over the head ig and makes him walk her home when it’s still awkward between them and he can’t stand the weird mood #also they were going to be wearing their school bags but I got tired lmao so they’re on the ground while they commute it’s fine #he ate her up though tbh lmao #as usual the tags are nonsensical there is so much moisturiser in my eyes I’ve been writing reports for hours and have met so many weirdos #her phone is the shiny drampa that rotted my brain enough for me to create her in it’s image when I was shiny hunting

If I'd actually posted all my pjo art when I made it instead of hoarding it like a little goblin for no apparent reason today I might have been known as the octavian guy instead of the joffrey guy...scary thought...

#.txt #went thru my old pjo art the other day...man #I actually didn't draw him that much compared to how much I draw joffrey lol. ig i had more shame #but also there's simply less to his character. what am I even supposed to take inspiration from #'less to his character' there's NOTHING #woahhh a villain that poses no real threath has no depth and is just there to be laughed at how interesting #i say this as if I didn't make up 1048399574 scenarios in my head with him #when i wasn't into got yet but i was like. vaguely aware of joffrey I'd look at him like woah octavian fancast #now I'm like. um no??? they have a completely different vibe you idiot -_- #what did I see in this guy like genuinely #ok but the thing is that octavian enjoyers were so removed from the source material. I mean obviously they were. bc he's not well written #or even that much of a character tbh. ofc you'd have to make shit up #so like what im saying is that maybe I woulnd't have been actually. bc I enjoyed him in the evil rat bastard way #meanwhile everyone else was like 'aw poor baby :( rick sucks he doesn't understand him :(( I could treat him better' #once I did see someone say that about joffrey but they turned out to be a weirdo so. lol #'what did I see in this guy he's a nothing character...anyway I love tommen and myrcella my little meowmeows <3' #they're very layered TO ME. my beloved canon ocs

[sleepy-vix]

finished little women the book and i loved the character dynamics/relationships way more than the ones in the movie sorry not sorry 😭 amy ending up with laurie in the movie was so random and unnecessary

#btw ive only watched the 2019 one idk abt the other movie but yeah #the film was excellent tho ofc the vibes were immaculate and it had some very great quotes and also the laurie and jo scene was fun ig but #why was it so different from the book 😭 #little women #vix's library

[applepies-and-starlight]

I seriously need to start learning that having differing opinions from my oomfs is perfectly fine and that I don't need to override them because frens say they don't like it

#void screaming #vent post #kinda ig #this is primarily with ships but it also just happens in general #i've forced myself to hate/dislike so many ships because someone i'm friends with goes “yeah i don't really vibe with it” #and i have this crowd-following mentality (and mayybe some people pleaser issues) #so my brain defaults to “if we have different opinions then we might ruin our friendship over it” #sooooooo... #change opinion! #i'm trying to stop myself from doing it #but it's still very hard to do so #it's very hardwired into my brain

[mariusslonelysoul]

Aos scotty/uhura i can buy, they have like no interactions but i can see it, it's cute, and they are always adorable in fics

Tos scotty/uhura though? No way in hell, those two are extrictly platonic besties, they were gonna spend their shore leave in st v like a galentine's day

#don't ask why #vibes ig #and the subtle or not so much differences between tos and aos #characterization i mean #star trek tos #star trek aos #star trek #star trek the original series #nyota uhura #montgomery scott #uhura x scotty
