#aaaa dangit ;v; #first of all it's honestly unfathomable you managed to draw this on your phone how on earth #you must have some intense fine motor skills to achieve this kind of precision on such a small screen #zero judging necessary #their body language seems so natural yet expressive I love it #the way Vasco is leaning over the counter like he owns the place (he doesn't but certainly does his best to give that impression) #his expression is terribly endearing as well #to me he seems a tiny bit hesitant which is a fun contrast to his confident pose #and Machete sipping his coffee with such finesse #you made him look so refined #but he's just called white boy now #really makes you think of the awkward and drawn-out trying-to-break-the-ice phase that probably preceded this #this is so sweet and you depicted them so well! thank you! #gift art #nejd08 #own characters #Vasco #Machete #modern au #I wonder if Vasco is a genuine caffeine wizard #or is he just average at best or even lowkey awful and Machete keeps going there anyway because the barista is cute and nice to him

Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.

#i still dont really understand how they got away with this kind of thing honestly #female VAs i get that - but first m/m kiss in an anime in episode THREE????? #theres also the maraich/thomas episode where they are *Both* voiced by women....advanced yuri #patalliro #i love how bancorans gender expression is pretty much explicitly to attract only bishounen #you blushed - so you must not be a girl #etc #i also love how joyful it all is #theres never anything sad or tragic about being gay - only that bancoran is forced to kill the bishounen spies/assassins/etc #when bancoran finds out that gay sex feels good after demian; in the manga he is elated. its basically a positive thing #he awakens to his true power...lol #also notable is that while bishounen youth is glorified maraich is 18 #this means it portrays being gay as an adult as normal; not a phase relegated to nostalgic adolescent periods of time #according to the NYT japan's psychiatric body called homosexuality a mental illness until 1995 #im NOT going to say patalliro changed that or anything lmao but its just significant to me that banmara get to live their lives happily #even raise children together in the manga....??? #especially contrasting that with kaze to ki no uta and other manga of the time (no shade intended) #yaoi #<- for tagging purposes #obviously it also got away with a lot by being a gag manga. but still! #months later edit: want to say im not intending to moralize BL manga from the 2000s either. like gen. no hate on them. #as a gay person i just appreciate when characters who act gay are considered gay textually #and its kind of disheartening how gay-as-identity was treated as something incredulous in those manga a lot of the time #even the mere suggestion of attraction to men as a whole and not just the other male lead...yknow #this post is meant to praise patalliro for being unique in its approach to gay content compared to other titles #ive enjoyed plenty of 2000s yaoi titles despite their shortcomings lol #joseiposting #shoujo

I wanted to draw my own take on ART-as-a-presence-in-the-feed but struggled with what path to take for A While bc all I had was that I was adamant about a winding, serpentine body, too large to take in at once and So Good at piling upon your shoulders with weight that's either overwhelming or comforting, take your pick

And then I brought in the hexagons and everything just worked

(They let me give it a face without an actual face, make for a good shorthand to show that it's talking/present in potential future art, and as a bonus serve as an homage to JWST bc hey, science!)

Partially brought to you by a whole lot of listening to Satellite by Starset

#ive hit the 'i just wanna stop looking at it' phase tho so here. take it #digital art #fanart #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #asshole research transport #character design #somehow this is what taught me how to make custom brushes in krita (it was for the face hexagons) #okay i am fuckin Tired but im still reeling from Network Effect and i care these two dipshits so much #i picked orange for ART to contrast Murderbots blue #but unfortunately also bc its been stuck in my brain as orange-aligned from the moment it appeared #bc my first impression was 'oh youre like simaris but not fuckin infuriating' #which is a Very unfair comparison btw bc i cant fuckin stand simaris but i love ART dearly #also a million other reasons but yeah. sorry bud you got assigned orange at introduction #at some point during the desing process it also had a whole bunch of hands since its controlling so many things at once with ease #but i had no way to make that look good and keep with the original vision of 'annoying long weighted blanket'

“Show me what you dream of” Or in which I imagine that soul dream scene through a shipping lens lol Oh to be held in the arms of the person you love, supported and comfortable 🥺 Happy belated birthday Cid, sorry for ship art to be for your birthday but Ive had this sketch for a while.

how do the mounders get even better every session. what the heck. if my creative niche were writing instead of art it would be all over for you guys

#secret life spoilers #the mounders #secret life #life series smp #trafficblr #mcyt #pearl and bdubs insisting joel moves into mumbo’s house. hello #contrasting mumbo going red and actively trying to construct rupe goldberg machines to kill them and they’re like ‘mumbo my friend mumbo :]’ #and joel going around culling horses for vengence/enrichment? and that actually causes some strife LOL #but AGAIN SPOILERS FOR SECRET LIFE SESSION 7. leaving off with two famously deranged reds and a scarlet pearl team?? #I don’t think. I think I’ve mourned the possibility of a joel W honestly. but. I am SO excited they’re for aure taking people down with them #(and who could say. I think this season’s red life mechanics could really benefit joel. who is also good at surviving as a red for forever) #sorry joel main bias but they are all SO good. I miss mumbo I think his teammates are gonna kick up a fuss in his honor #like every phase and progression of them. SO good. I feel insane. #begging pleading cool thing are made about them by cool people but I may have to throw my rocks into the stone soup too. a heem heem

#also a snake enthusiast but #cw spiders #cw snakes #art #digital art #fanart #space ghost #sgc2c #tarantopods #also the stripes are mainly just for fun #but they also balance out the design #im also in my orange phase so thats why they orng #but it's also for contrast too so LMAO

The boys knew next to nothing about Noodle in phase 1 except she was 10 and played guitar.

Noodle never bothered opening up about her insomnia, homesickness or nightmares (which plagued her for years following their st album release)

When prompted, Russel used to call Noodle an enigma because 'she's as much of a mystery to us'

Their phase 1 bio described her as inscrutable.

At the age of 12, Noodle embarked to Japan on a solo mission and mingled with Yakuza in order to discover more of her militarized past

She wrote Demon Days in a makeshift bunker while hoarding off a swarm of zombies

Her decision to leave again after el manana was kept secret from everyone (save for Murdoc)

'Noodle’s feelings of loneliness have always been apparent in her music' -Verbicide

She's implied to travel by herself before reuniting with Russel to Plastic Beach.

She travelled by herself once more in-between phases 4 and 6 (phase 5 being an exception since she stuck to the band solely to look after 2d and ig post-phase 6 where she took 2d to a favourite escape)

Their phase 7 DMC storyline had Noodle's file labelled 'keeps low profile. often removed from the rest. speaks only when necessary. inconclusive.'

#gorillaz #official #the contrast between her receptive public personality and her isolationist nature is just- #*chefs kiss* #noodle #lore #🍜 #phase 1 #phase 2

The hardest part about dating a zombie mutant is making them behave so you both don't get killed by other humans that are unaware some zombies are actually friendly.

Destiny tries hard but Zeke tries harder and refuses to behave without some compensation in return.

For some short story context, Zeke is a mutant zombie who isn't quite alive but isn't quite dead either and Destiny is a human.

They are trying to survive in a post apocalypse world. It's kinda like an alternate timeline to my normal universe…but zombies happened at some point.

#zeke #destiny #banana bread #my art #my interest in zombies has been resurfacing again thanks to dead island 2 playthroughs #i just love stuff that show the beginning phases of the apocalypse where everything is going to shit #plus the game trailers do so well with contrasting the cheerful imagery with grotesque zombie gore #reminds me why i love the zombie genre #anyways that's enough rocky rambling in the tags

I mean it really depends #and not to charlie brown this football again and give the show all this goodwill to squander again #but I mean they've still got the energy #and in contrast to the extreme honeymoon cuteness phase kacy are in I don't mind this older more volatile pair several stages ahead #maya is like this she's always been like this #I mean I do think it's super unfair to keep dismissing the misogyny and unfairness she's faced #or act as if she ruined things on a whim because she can't be happy when actually she was hurting badly from the demotion #plus obviously the major misstep last season with the donor #but they've still not turned me off completely :o
