#not just gawking

[chknbzkt]

My god it’s finally done 💀 WOOOO

Damn I missed the whole month but I still got something for Mermay and beyond! Eclipse’s updated design (I may decide to tweak it a tad further but I had to get across how Not Normal this Mer is compared to the other abyssal horror of the Down Below)

More info under the read more

It’s a mix between an oarfish, gulper eel, viperfish, someee barracuda and god knows what else, Eclipse’s existence is unnatural and Wrong even considering the origins of Mer in general throughout history.

Let’s just say Willy Old Boy had a hand in things, by accident mind, but a happy accident in his case. And even long after the world has exploded, Eclipse’s involvement in tragic goings on years past is about to resurface in ways it really rather wouldn’t.

Poor guy has a real storm coming 🐰

On the end, we have a WIP of one of Monty’s first encounters with The Siren that Screams for the Storm. Fast spreading rumors about a behemoth of a monster migrating in the direction of Monty’s shanty town (the location of someone he treasures who can’t simply leave) saw Monty saddling up with Moon in tow to try and find it and stop it, or at least change its direction.

They had no idea what the hell they were getting into how do you even begin to fight this 😭

It's 1 AM. Tumblr scrapped its own content and is negotiating selling it to OpenAI.

The world is truly closing in on artists, which is less to say that I'll ever stop making art bc making art means life to me, but what part of that is going to be shared? I don't know. I seriously don't know...

It's the main reason I left twitter.

I am already sharing less than half of what I make here on tumblr nowadays, not because I don't want to, but what's the point.

I have so many horses; AI can't do horses and it sure as hell won't learn of the back of my work.

I have suggestive fanart that has no nudity in it whatsoever and i am so happy with; following the CEP thing even that has a chance to get flagged bc i've seen it be done to other artists.

I have 10 years worth of work here, i don't want to move. But half of my art got flagged all the way in 2018 and i didn't have the energy to appeal it.

Discord already is selling everything you send through it to OpenAI. Private discord server for art sharing just doesn't work.

So what's the point?

I'm tired...

#i want people to gawk at my weird horses #they're my pride and joy and i love it when people talk about them and do the silly memes or talk educational content #losing twitter has been very hard #if this is how it's gonna be maybe i should just head back there like nothing ever happened and start posting again #if we're all gonna be fodder to skynet anyway #are they gonna start scrapping stuff from our folders next? bc windows 11 is already so internetized and cloud-based? #who am I to say #gonna move back to freaking gouache and start posting my weird horses in galleries #maybe some ken will adopt me into the patriarchy

Going out in public as a gnc person is looking around and noticing someone standing near you and looking at you like

#mine #yes! I am here for you to gawk at! not just to get my groceries! #I didn’t get when I transitioned to male. it’s just this weird ‘in between’ space

I’m happy for the little life I built for myself

#there’s a lot of ways to go #i am nowhere NEAR the dream life I really want to attain #or the dream person I want to be #but high school me #hell even freshman in college me #would GAWK at the life I have so deliberately made happen. #the solid network of friends I have #the confidence I’m slowly but surely growing into #the discipline I’m harvesting bit by bit. i do not claim perfection but I am 100% improving #I’m just happy idk! i don’t compare myself at all now bc I know I’m on the right track #especially compared to where I was like 5 years ago. such a different mind state from now #and no one can take that away from me #there’s a lot more to go. a lot more. but I thought I’d pause and be intentionally grateful for what has been accomplished #bc it actually puts things into perspective to look at the past rather than just look to the present. it creates contentment #i get so caught up being hard on myself for not accomplishing certain things yet #that I forget I pulled myself out of such a deep rut by the skin of my teeth #and that’s important to keep in mind even as you progress to your goals #anyway <333 happy content in my own lane etc etc #p

The slow creeping horror of realizing the book I'm reading is definitely just someone's lightly edited rp logs

#do not ask for the title i wont give it i dont want to send strangers to gawk at a thing it never ends well #just revel in your imagined version of this with me

[aimasup]

throws up my hands in mock resignation but also a hint of frustration Okay Valentino is a cool villain I guess

He's like. Genuinely unsettling. Wish the show struck a better balance with his character sometimes (like sometimes when he's onscreen I have to skip over because I feel queasy and sometimes he's so unsubtle he feels more like a prop than a guy who's going to be a Huge Deal in s2)

#why yes I have been reading some phenomenal fanfiction lately #a lesser me would be agonising over my inability to ever come close to matching the #masterfully characterised works of these talented WORD WEAVERS #but envy is a spoilt housepest and we must spend less time unleashing it upon new targets #instead let's talk about how these fics discovered its possible?? #to write Val as not only a 3dimensional character but a deeply horrifying person to WITNESS #to depict how he thinks and what he wants and what he contributes to the people around him #while acknowledging that his actions are supremely messed up #also without dumbing whatever the fuck is wrong with him down to just 'can't do math and needs a sippycup' #those jokes are funny but he's also a dealmaker #he doesn't need to be studied under a microscope! he needs to be gawked at in abject horror! Oh the Potential! #he needs to tell us more about how depraved hell can be by linking us to a portion of the culture full of the dead who cannot die! #anyways. rant over. uh I think I like valentino now? in the same way I like the old man villain from hunchback of notre dame. #just. (gestures) what is this dude. ew. oh my god #my post #personal stuff #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel valentino #is this anything #again I am entrenching on dangerous territory of 'expectations for this media I consume' #he really doesn't need to be written all shakespearean-like #too attached mayhaps #delete later #honestly worried that if the show does reveal his backstory or whatever it'll try to paint him in a sympathetic light #and then the online arguments will be a headache for a month #villain with tragic backstory ≠ sympathetic villain

Michael and Leaf Pokemon but they've suddenly been isekai'd to Sylvarant oops

The template @frayed-symphony, @ciryze and I collectively put together.

...also uh 👉👈

there's this

#the stats aren't super specific tbh #i just kinda based them off of Genis and Colette from my various saves at that point and just tweaking where i felt like it #and i know this template was more or less made for ToS OCs but since i don't have any... #...and uh.. may as well admit that this specific scenario is something i've thought about for well over a decade by this point... #uuagh just allow me to indulge in my bullshit for a moment #this applies to myself too btw #like it's perfectly ok to do stuff like this right #so why does *this* feel scarier than me posting any other kind of art? #whatever don't think about it #it's there now and it was fun to make and it took far too long to not dump it /somewhere/ for the public to gawk at #still too nervous to put this on my twitter right now though god fuck #maybe after a sleep i'm exhausted #ok proper tags time #trainer michael #trainer leaf #pokemon xd #pokemon frlg #tales of symphonia #ravinoforre

back on my bullshit! ♥️

#if y’all want me to tag this like i usualy do. just lmk but right now i dont see why i should #anyway #as per usual i give this no background because i dont care enough #im just. a pinup artist now. backgrounds arent important just gawk at the hot man #soinch #funny fella #oc: eros/apollyon

dick grayson would just NEVER be over raja's marie antoinette in season 3 of drag race. he thinks it's the 'pinnacle of drag' and won't take criticism on it.

he also actively rolls his eyes every time a queen does a marie antoinette in later seasons, because none of them slayed as hard as raja did.

him and tim have gotten into arguments before because tim defends max's season 7 rendition until he is black. and. BLUE. they're constantly clashing because dick loves the fashion queens who put their all into the garments, and tim loves the body queens, who could walk out almost-naked most challenges and get away with a safe.

THE woman in question

#but yeah he loves the fashion queens. raja. gigi goode. gottmik. detox. violet chachki etc etc #he also looooooved gigi goode's heathers look btw #tim will be gawking over a runway look and dick's just like “but she's literally got no clothes on?????” #he DOES NOT get it at all. same goes vice versa with fashion queens though. tim's like “but.. it's so costume-y?????” #i'm NOT projecting. ignore that i have 1000% made this exact post before minus the batboys aspect #rpdr #dick grayson #tim drake #nightwing #robin #red robin #batboys #batfam #batfamily #dc batman #dc comics #dcu #dc #batboys do drag #gothihop speaks

It’s October 2023. c!Ranboo and c!Tubbo are almost 20. They’ve been married for 3 years. Michael isn’t a toddler anymore and grew up to be a lively kid, twice the size he was before and incredibly smart. It’s cool weather today in Snowchester, and the snow covered cabins are bright with Halloween decorations. The family are in their mansion, no trace of fear or sadness in them. c!Tubbo, c!Tommy, c!Wilbur, and c!Jack are making Jack-o-Lanterns at the dining table, cracking jokes and making each other howl with laughter. c!Ranboo fondly rolls their eyes at them from where they’re sitting by the fireplace with c!Techno and Michael, making Michael giggle while the three of them sorting through Halloween decorations to hang up inside. c!Phil and c!Niki are mixing cookie batter on the kitchen island, smiling as they converse over the lively Halloween music. They all soon join together to eat dinner and design their Halloween cookies. c!Fundy knocks on the door, a gift in hand and a sly smile on his face, c!Quackity following him in with a cheer. c!Eret joins, cozy fall sweaters in her arms to hand to everyone. c!Puffy and Foolish arrive shortly after, bringing a customized costume for Michael and the othere. Soon the well-loved home fills with friends. There’s no arguments. No battles. No betrayals. Just laughter, warmth, and joy. Everywhere else, the land is healing. Bloodshed and war are no more in the Greater SMP or anywhere for them. Houses stand peacefully, as they once were. People smile at each other and chat happily along the Prime Path, all trace of malice and resentment gone. Everything is peaceful again. The future was bright. No pain or suffering from the past, only healing and moving forward.

#I’m delulu y’all #I SO badly want a world where the dsmp ended naturally and where everyone got their good ending #so I’m making it MYSELF #btw if someone isn’t they’re they still stop by #people like to visit c!beeduo’s mansion just to gawk at it #c!tubbo nags them jokingly but he act does lowkey feel happy abt it #I ACCIDENTALLY TYPED IN “he act dies” HELPPP 😭 #man I’m so sad. It’s okay guys. They’re happy #c!beeduo #michael_beloved #c!tubbo #c!ranboo #c!tommy #c!benchtrio #c!philza #c!nihachu #c!techno #c!fundy #c!quackity #c!eret #c!puffy #c!foolish #c!wilbur #c!jack #almost forgot the last two LMAO #aw. okay crying time #dsmp

Gojo as a merman. He's of the deep-sea kind: pale and light colored, with pale blue eyes sensitive to bright daylight. Because of this, he only surfaces at nighttime-- that is, until Y/N gets him a pair of sunglasses.

ANONNNNNN YOU’RE A FUCKING GENIUS i’ve been brainstorming ideas for mer!gojo but here we have it….. that’s him…….. i can see him wearing sunglasses SO clearly 😭😭 i feel like he’s super fond of humans (unlike sugu)… probably pretends to be a normal guy and shows his upper body while tourists are taking a dip in the ocean…. flirts with men and women swimming by……… reveals his tail to crying children super sneakily so that they’ll stop crying and cheer up…. parents laugh when their children point to him and call him “mister mermaid” meanwhile he just grins and puts a finger to his lip teasingly <33 it’s their little secret!!!

no but he would actually be soooo cute and charming….. he wants to be human so bad he wants to explore!!! LOVES being a merman but like…. he wants to go on land and eat all the sweets he sees everyone munch on….. :((( mer!gojo is the most susceptible to a little mermaid-esque plot where he turns into seafoam at the end LMAO thankfully he has suguru and shoko to keep him in check!! doesn’t stop him from interacting with humans though…… he just wants to have fun <3

#my bigbrained anons how i love u so……… #mer!gojo w sunglasses ohhhh my god #and the idea of him being more sensitive to sunlight is soooo genius?? he’s ghostly pale and his tail starts itching when the sun hits it #but then reader gives him sunglasses / he finds a pair by the beach and suddenly he’s out and about…. talking to humans…… #it’s risky and i think he has to take lots of measures but he’s also Gojo Satoru so he manages lmao #probably uses his voice to hypnotize humans into not noticing his mermaid-y parts .. 🤔🤔 #this au is so fun 😭😭😭 mer!gojo my beloved i know he would thrive as a tourist attraction #he would just enjoy the attention LMAO #the type to purposefully get captured so that humans will gawk at him <33 obsessed. #ask tag ✩

I am asking this to take my mind off of the update because the anticipation is killing me

where do you get your art inspo from? As in the art style :3

yk this is kind of a question i've been dreading! because a lot of people can answer definitively - they'll give names, urls, blogs.

but uh.. I really don't know? I mean there were some deviantart blogs in elementary/middle school that inspired me then, but since? I couldn't say! My style has evolved from me doing my own thing, I suppose. I'd take little bits from other people's tutorials/advice and then stitch it into my own Frankenstein's Style.

#i also in a way took insp from myself? #bc for a while i had two styles - realistic and simplistic #and then at some point i wondered if i could combine them. and i did! #and That has become what you all see today! #rambles from the bog #i might be able to give an answer in a few years! who's to say! #i'm trying to Improve more constructively and that means studying other people's art #recently i've followed some artists who's art i greatly enjoy so that i can maybe Understand how to draw in such a way #- not as in draw like their style! #but to be able to choose colors & lay out composition and such #the technical aspects! #so that i can then apply that to my own style and like. Improve lmao #because admittedly my style is rather... bland. i look at my art and #sure there are Some that are genuinely creative and interesting but most of it is just.... meh? #it's not something i would stop and gawk at! #and i want to be able to great something that makes people stop and go 'Whoah' under their breath! you understand! #i want to create elaborate backgrounds! combine interesting colors! Wow with Composition! #one day... one day...
