#artists on tumblr #at it again with the detailed backgrounds #there's something so relaxing about drawing 49285947 leaves #it seems we've kind of skipped the colorful part of autumn here #went straight from summer hot days to winter depression grey #all of my DMs are on hiatus or travelling so no D&D for a couple of weeks #bless them all on their journeys and forays #i hope every DM is having a good day actually #thank u for your service

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #blood #Good bye Jiang Disciples. May you live on in the Lan Wangji in lotus pier AU. #This is going to be the start of a bunch of sad scenes I desperately try to undercut with humour. #You may ask where Elle Woods is considering her help was requested. #The canon answer is that she didn't make it there in time. This is the reason why WWX has the pink phone in present day. #It is a favour she owes him out of apology. #I am also making it canon that Jiang Cheng hates Elle Woods for not being there. His two Nemeses in PD-MDZS are Elle and WWX. #This is why Jiang Cheng doesn't have the phone. He would hunt her down but Bruiser bit him really bad last time he tried. #His pride is too hurt to try again. #I don't think I've done a wordless comic in a while - what a fun challenge! #I'm getting lots of practice with backgrounds in the last few comics - I really feel like I'm getting more comfortable with it! #Obviously I still have a long way to go but this is a journey B*)

My DTYIS took so long, that by the time I posted it, I felt like it didn’t really fit my style or skill level anymore so I thought “why not do it again?” SO HERE WE ARE

Third times the charm✨😎

Me rambling about all the little details:

For this one took a lot of inspiration from the wrathful aspect of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Mahakala (I did a research project on him a while ago and the iconography stuck with me). He was mostly prayed to to protect troops during wars and battles so I thought it fit well with Wukong and his warform. The five jewel ornaments in Wukongs hair are reference to Mahakala’s five skulls, which also represent the five wisdom‘s. The skullcap and knife of course reference the spread of wisdom and destruction of ignorance.

For what Wukong’s outfit I thought since he doesn’t necessarily need armor, it would be fun to reference opera! I did have to change the colors tho from his opera outfit to better mesh with the color scheme.

And for the last bit- the ruyi bang. For my redesign, I included lotus buds that bloom when wukong reaches enlightenment. But I wanted to continue having the staff change with along with him- so in place of the lotus buds, I decided to put Dragon Pearl for the time spent at Ao Guangs palace. Dragon pearls are usually flaming, and that also reminds me of the Buddhist mani, wish granting jewels (which can also be flaming).

#cw eyestrain #I do love me so good eyestrain #overall super happy with this!! #ofc I could nitpick a few things but imma stay positive #me opening the file to work on it: gets flashbanged by the colors #when it still had a white background it was genuinely hard to look at #might have strained my eyes ngl #ba dum tss #anyway this gets a thumbs up from me UwU #my art #sun Wukong #jttw #journey to the west #Warform wukong

Waking up in a cold sweat remembering that the torchwood writers gave us Toshiko and Owen’s backstories, which introduce completely new and significant context to their characters and open so many avenues to explore, one episode before Exit Wounds

#I’m so serious ​what the hell were they thinking #torchwood #they deserved an entire extra season to delve into the consequences of what we learned in fragments #I mean I get it in a way - illustrating how their journeys with torchwood all started just before the end has a certain narrative flair #but I wish we’d been able to see the characters up to date written with that background consciously known to the audience #toshiko sato #owen harper

Chapter 5 of I know places (where we can hide) by the fantastic @coriesocks is up now! I've had a really great time sharing ideas and figuring out how to best illustrate this scene from it. Please go read the fic if you haven't, and do keep an eye out for the last piece from this fun dinluke big bang collab!

i have this side au where kiburi becomes a parental figure for dogo after his parents & some of the outlanders go missing and its soooo sadddd. he takes care of him after dogo basically clung to him when he couldn't find his mom or dad. kiburi lets him stick around in respect for reirei and its like a redemption arc and hdghdg THE ANGST its indescribable

#me realising this is similar to The Crocodile's Journey... #crocodiles and adopting another species huh? #the au is entirely inspired by the “I don't like children” scene from Cruella #is that the name of the movie? idk but you know what i'm on about #dogo cuddles up against kiburi's side #kiburi's all like “I don't like kids!” but dogo doesn't leave him alone #kiburi eventually finds out his parents are gone and he's like “Well. Shit. Guess I'm carin' for him” #there's not much background to it #it's more a character interaction concept i guess #BUT IT MAKES ME SAD #i keep hearing sad audio edits of children and parental figures and i get reminded of this au #kills me every. time. #the lion guard #tlg au #kiburi #dogo

Some design sketches for Bilbo and Lobelia, plus a bonus thorin

#not silm #the hobbit #lotr #lord of the rings #bilbo #lobelia #thorin #lobelia is honestly rather like bilbo #only she steals shiny things from the neighbors instead of from a dragon halfway across the continent #imagine a world in which lobelia was chosen as the burglar though #...would that mean lotho pimple gets to go on the whole ring journey #bc while lobelia definitely would have stabbed more people than bilbo (see: hitting orcs with an umbrella at like age ninety) #lotho would definitely have died before he even reached the anduin #ok but imagine thranduil and thorin doing their whole starving in the woods back and forth routine #lobelia just standing there invisibly #and then the moment thranduil turns his back #*BONK* #legolas makes a surprise cameo as a drunk guy in the background getting hit over the head with a pommel #but then they wouldnt have actually made it out of menegroth lite because they would all be locked up #on the other hand then elrond and gandalf would be at the next white council meeting like hey? thranduil? where are the dwarves + hobbit

hey, your video compilation of 4chan post about shield is a great ressource for fandom psychology. Interesting to see another user who lurk the wrestling board and use tumblr. Did you ever work on compilation of the tumblr fandom during the peak of the shield era ? I did not research it yet. xoxo

glad someone liked that video, only in times when im super fixated on something will i end up searching through the 4chan archives for more content...unfortunately 4chan vernacular tends to get a laugh out of me (if it isnt absolute lowtier content, had to scrape through a lot of that). the shield stuff i tried to get from when it was at its peak and you'll see posts on there from 2013+, but i also got modern stuff now bc the boardspeak actually changed with it.

ironically it is way easier to deepdive and compile stuff from 4chan bc it has a much better archival system than tumblr; ive also looked for lots of old stuff on deviantart due to the crossover but i found that it has a pretty shitty way of archiving/sorting older posts (just like on here. ive been on tumblr since 13 so i know what sorts of areas to look for, but its still very hard to find it directly on here. i havent spent as much time as i did getting those posts for that video so i can try harder.)

fandom psychology is interesting to me too so im happy you saw my video with that angle. ive collected lots of old shield fangirl content off of sites like weheartit and pinterest (ironically those are often better at keeping images up for longer periods of time) too but i didnt know if i should make a comp, maybe i will. i also looked through random forums and places like lolcow dot farms (which only really granted one of the screenshots...not too much discussion over there for good or bad. i was hoping to find discussion abt shieldfangirls or wrestling rpf but surprisingly they didnt think to make a "point and laugh" thread abt those topics). i find it interesting how much shieldrelated psychosis was on both sides of the spectrum (tumblr vs 4chan)....i could talk more on it but im a little brainless and sleep deprived rn

heres some extras i had that didnt make the cut (plus just some of my favorites):

and these were from a thread talking abt the modern stereotypical tumblr wrestling fan (specifically talking abt aedubs young bucks fans/the elite fans)

(*fangirl in this is a term im using loosely of course)

#surprisingly there is actually LESS shield blingees than dx or cm punk blingees. that at least i could find. theres a large number of #desktop background edits from deviantart and content like the fanfic edits/“outfits i would wear to meet the shield”/ogflowercrown phone bg #collages. and the like. i could compile all this shit i just didnt think it mattered to anyone LOL #sorry for the long post everyone #the most interesting thing abt the shields hayday and eventual fall on 4chan was 1) how many guys unironically loved seth up until he #“turned shoot faggot”/or the first knee injury. he was a fan favorite on there even with the contrarian posters saying otherwise (most of #4chan is just being. the contrarian so that tracks). and 2) the huge divide between guys who hated ambrose (usually bc he was over with #female fans...theres still that divide with how straight men dont understand favs among women. also goes along w my noted difference in fav #among queer men/women etc etc - but they would mask this by saying they hated that he was a jobber (true) or his inring technique was slopp #) and guys who adored ambrose bc he was a promo guy...they loved his early promos/“he just like me fr”.. (and a large grouping of dudes who #would call him cute). i dunno just stuff i noticed #also. obviously a lotta mox hate due to dickriding cornette #the shields peak is interesting to me so i might continue to compile more shit like this when i get the time. i have the shield dvds too #and wanted to do a LONG journey of p1rat1n6 all their scenes off of pcock while i still have my sub. but it would take a while #also. love ur acc bc i too enjoy thinkin abt the fem versions of dude wrestlers #fleshclipstag #tactical-asks
