#that surprised me when I first saw it

[badsekaiscreencaps]

'How are you feeling bro?'

,I dunno,

'What do you mean you don't know?'

#sksksk #I am genuinely surprised that Lost Ones Weeping is a Leo/Need song #a song about the harshness of school and the inability to retain your own identity amidst expectations?? #'today's homework is about the blank me'? #'have you ever wondered why we say we're sad? say we're lonely?' #'can you even read his mind? see that kid's lost fantasy?' 'can you even find the one who blackened his heart?' #the ENERGY the ANGER the HOPELESSNESS #sorry lmao that kind of pressure is much more fitting for Nightcord #Mafuyu who lost her dreams. Kanade haunted by the pressure of her her father's work. #Ena who works harder and harder to try and 'make up for' her ''lack of talent'' Mizuki who is genuinely smart but feels othered by school #Shiho doesn't want to fit in. Honami has a fear of bullying but it's... not that deep. Ichika doesn't really struggle with much other than- #her friends not being together. The only one with a really strained past is Saki who spent her 'prime years' in a hospital #I need to finish the Leo/Need Event Stories #but man... their big conflict is pretty much over- they don't really have 'Lost One's Weeping' vibes/issues #that surprised me when I first saw it #but it does look boppin #it looks really cool played out #but it just doesn't fit narratively

Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.

The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.

You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character

#the actual animation of the wolf eating your character wasnt scary he kind of just cartoonishly swallows the character whole lol #the scary part is being pursued by him and never knowing how close he is #i remember being surprised when i first saw the game bc it was presented to me as #a fun addictive sort of game kinda like a mobile app game #and then i see it and its a horror game and the creators are just completely oblivious to it lmao #dream art #<- thats my tag for all my dream-inspired art #art #gif #photomanipulation #digital art #liminal #weirdcore #used a mix of ai photos and regular photos for this one #the ai stuff is sooooo good for recreating what a dream looks and feels like #but i didnt use it too much bc i wasnt able to get the specific photos i wanted :/ #hmmmm this is vore isn’t it

i think what is really attractive to me about astarion’s character is that he balances his feminine/masculine traits so well.

like he can be pretty feminine with how he expresses himself (flamboyant, vain, showy) but he’s intrinsically masculine in a lot of aspects (his desires to pursue, protect, provide) and that was sooo surprising to me because usually it’s very black or white with that kind of thing— you typically get characters that are wholly masculine/feminine (or very heavily leaning on one side), not a mix of both (especially not in a man).

it just makes him feel much more alive and not so one-dimensional. it’s really a disservice to try to force him into a box by depicting him as only one or the other. let him be a silly little peacock man in peace

#for me personally it makes him so much more relatable bcz i am the same way just opposite (outwardly masculine inwardly feminine) #i remember when i first saw clips of him i rolled my eyes SOOO hard bcz i was like great here we go another little bitch boy 🙄 #but he really genuinely surprised me lol in the best way #he is fr the ‘masculine in a peacock type of way’ man #MY FAVORITE 🤤🍽️🍽️ #bg3 #astarion

That feeling when he can't stand to see you that way, no matter what you do, no matter what you say😩😭💔

#scott pilgrims precious little life #scott pilgrim vs the world #spvtw #spto #scott pilgrim #wallace wells #lisa miller #scollace #kim pine #natalie adams #envy adams #don't rlly know if I like how this turned out but oh well;;; #hope its obvious that this is based on the song “Scott Pilgrim” which the creation the comics were inspired from #the lyrics always make me think of Wallace and Lisa's feelings for Scott every time I hear it #ofc you could also relate it to Kim especially since the singers voice kind of reminds me of her #but overall the lyrics fit these two much better since Scott never truly “saw them that way” despite how long they've liked him #and they always seem happier to see him compared to Kim #Im surprised tho that I havent yet seen anyone draw these two together now that their dialogue parallels have been acknowledged more lately #also tho I wish more people pointed out that they both got cucked by red heads LOL #and Kim and Envy actually do look really similar when scott first meets them #makes me wonder if Scott subconsciously went for Envy since she reminded him of Kim (which would be fitting given that you could argue that #Envy dated Scott because he reminded her of Todd. Since he and Scott are confirmed to be meant to be seen as similar to one another #so much so that even their first and last names rhyme #last thing I'll add tho is that while Wallace and Lisa are very similar even personality wise #the one big difference is that despite that whole conclusion on vol4 of Scott not cheating on Ramona with Lisa because he loves her #the writers apparently think it would be “organically correct” for him to have an affair with wallace LMAO #but I guess we shouldn't be surprised since Wallace and Ramona are both in the front of the official valentines art which is clearly #a deptiction of Scotts wet dream or smth (oh and you could also argue that Wallace and Lisa parallel on that art since they're both #shirtless with white socks.. which could be a reference to how lisa wears skimpy clothes for Scott and Wallace often only wears boxers #to like sexually frustrate Scott for fun or smth

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - The Grid

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #the grid #scenery #my gif #the general aesthetic of this world makes most areas feel very samey #i was worried that i wouldn't be able to make this set look varied enough but i think it turned out alright #but i'm glad sora and riku were able to wear unique outfits in this world and that they brought back the lightcycle race #replaying this game made me realize that sora and quorra's friendship is pretty adorable haha #she took one look at that kid and was like our names rhyme we're best friends now let's team up and ditch the other characters #guess i'm a fan of sora befriending computer people because the whole thing with tron/rinzler is really interesting to me #imagine my surprise when i played this game for the first time and saw that sora got through to tron but couldn't save him #and that we don't return back to this world to resolve it #he reached for his hand...

Finished TGAAC around 2 1/2 weeks ago but only finished the doodles today. but still, here ya go!

#caluuart #art #dgs spoilers #dgs2 spoilers #tgaa spoilers #tgaa2 spoilers #ace attorney #the great ace attorney #tgaa #dgs2 #not tagging characters bc it's a lot #RAMBLE TIME. so ever since I finished dgs2 I have been listening to the soundtracks and MAN these bang so much #esp as a person who plays the piano and likes music. it's just. good. yeah. some of these do give me psychological dmg tho lmaoo #like kazuma's nocturne theme or his prosecutor theme. or the secret trial theme.... the partners - the game is afoot! theme.... I am normal #WHICH SPEAKING OF! man I love the sholmes + mikotoba partner twist so much even if i got a bit spoiled about it. i just think they're neat. #The partners of all time I think. #Also also the found family!?!?!? I am A SUCKER for found family. they fed me so well. #funny thing was the barok character development surprised me despite the fact that I also expected it since the first game lolol. #I do think he's an interesting character and probably one of the best character development in the game. And that I find his design cool. #oh yeah I didn't draw it but when I saw that albert mentioned that barok is “the darling of the van zieks family” I was genuinely like. #huh? wdym. like man at the time “van zieks” and “little darling” feels wrong in the same sentence. that was until I saw his pre- #-trauma pictures n well. albert isn't wrong. which was a slight surprise to me. #In conclusion: I liked it a lot. and now occupies parts of my brain along with my other brainrots. #They fight for priority in my brain whenever I try to sleep or disassociate lol. Well at least there's more material to think about. #off topic time: arlecchino animation. for the sake of the tag's length I'll just say a few things: #I am very very interested in her story and oh my god father. #My brain has stopped braining now; good night my fellows

Hi, hello, here's Blitzø giving Stolas a look of pure loss and heartbreak when big bird ain't looking but switching back up to being annoyed when Stolas is looking

#god i love animator details #not saying that he isnt annoted he clearly is #but the fact that he only gave the heartbroken look when Stolas wasnt looking was noteworthy to me #surprised i havent talked about it here yet since i rewinded it so much when i first saw it #blitzo #blitzø #blitz #helluva boss blitzo #helluva boss blitzø #helluva boss blitz #blitzo hellhva boss #blitzø helluva boss #blitz helluva boss #stolas #stolas goetia #helluva boss stolas #stolas helluva boss #stolitz #helluva boss stolitz #stolitz analysis #stolitz helluva boss

going against the game's chinese translation so that i can make the twins share the first two characters of their names

#obey me #something that surprised me: the sheer amount of characters asmo gets #like it makes sense in hindsight but when i first saw it i did a double take (艾斯摩迪尔斯 full name + 艾斯摩 for asmo) #and i know 梅菲斯托费勒斯 makes sense for mephistopheles but the very step-by-step phonetic translation makes me laugh #also fun fact! thirteen is the only one not translated phonetically - her name is still 13 as in the number (十三) #btw this isn't for anything in particular #well that's a half-lie.. i did have a reason for looking up some of the chinese names #and while i was there i just got everyone else's too #(*by look up i mean i switched to trad. chinese in game and looked at them in majolish + had to hunt for the s4 trio in-lesson) #the reason isn't something i'll start in earnest any time soon (not guaranteed i'll ever commit to it actually) #but i wanted to do this bit at least :) #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphegor

Did Hannibal really say "If I saw you every day, forever, I will remember this day?" or did I dream of it?

#hannigram #Hannibal #listen I saw this show when it first came out #and I am still surprised about this line #yes even more than the running away with a child thing #and will is like: is hannibal in love with me? 🤔🤔🤔

someone commented on an old post of mine that sonia wasnt fridged bc shes relevant to the plot and i have been thinking about it for an hour bc i dont think thats an actual get out of jail card for that .... also ... what does she do? be raurus way to cement himself as da king? give some half assed advice to zelda, that has no pay off unless you count zelda time reversing a bunch of weapons*, and then immediately dies just so zelda can essentially replace her and make rauru regret he didnt stab ganondorf right when he showed up in their temple i guess ?? (which is questionable on its own imo)

(*its not a good pay off for powers she was suddendly revealed to always have had(tm) and also is only ever used to .... welll, get zelda out of the way back in time, reverse a few weapons and .. idk create a ham fisted way to give the player her gimmick?)

even if she doesnt technically meet the requirements(lol?) to be called fridged like .. she is spiritually at least for how irrelevant and cheapely killed off she was

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #idk man #be honest were you surprised by her death? #she first time she appeared she basically had a sign around her that said murder me VILLAIN #also i guess you can count her i guess having never mentioned babies with rauru off screen or sth #bc how would zelda have both their powers beign a super super distant relative #i guess there are ways to do that with other relatives and whatever was going on with the ancient hero (uuuugh) reveal #but the way she said it was like #das our 10 000 times removed grandkid or however that works in english #nhjdfkgfjknkgf #like maybe im misremembering something #but you cant tell me she didnt at least FEEL fridged #like when i saw the cutscene i thought at first oh she was just punched no way shes gonna die from one punch- #-i wonder what she will do no- oh she is dead lol #totk is all just subverting ma expecations by making me hopeful for something interesting only to reveal it is the most boring way actually #i cant get over the intro giving me the tiniest crumb of oh thats how zelda being your companion could wor- aaand shes gone bye bye zelda #for the rest of the game

for some reason im really feeling the Queer Euphoria in this chilis tonight, specifically: being so ambiguous its hilarious. there is No label to describe my orientation/gender. like yeah i use nonbinary bc technically it fits but also bc the flag Fucks. if asked, my only correct answer would be "Wildcard, Motherfucker!"

#both change on a daily basis #gender depends on vibes. weather. A Cool Art Piece I Saw On Tumblr. a dream i had the night prior. what im doing at the moment. song playin #i use & prefer they/them but really anything is free game For The Bit. i am willing to play pretend and try on different hats! #orientation depends on who im looking at in the moment. like i consistently surprise myself with who i do/dont find attractive #it also happens.... less than id expect. but when it does happen its a very strong Ohhhhhh. Ohoho Hi Heyyyy<3 moment #BUT OH ITS SO FUN TO BE UNLABELABLE #thats not a word! except yes it is! #i take the boxes people try to put me in. i make a sickass fort outta them & add blankets and pillows & paint #there is a drawbridge and a moat. and origami dragons! #its so so fun #but also very annoying on the rare occasion im asked what i am #like! fuck if i know! this is my first time being alive! its none of my business! i have bigger omelets to burn! #its like.... #'are you gay' yes but also no 'are you a lesbian' yes but also no 'are you bi' yes but also no 'are you-' Yes But Also No. #again: wildcard. #absolutely unprompted #its like... oh man if i wasnt so squeamish about syringes i could make my gender Soooo Me <3 #bc i want a deeper voice but i like my body how it is. mostly. its literally just my voice that i dont like #& facial hair would be nice but also do i want to deal with the hassle that is shaving. no i do not <3 #still i cherish the two hairs i have on my chin. theyre so neat #i wish skirts were comfortable. i need a better eyeliner pen. i need more tank tops and a good binder. i want to confuse people #and then like... women with deep voices and men who're all dolled up and ambiguous folks who are so visibly queer- #there is so much to love everywhere and i do not care for the generally excepted/used fences people keep putting up #im ripping up their signs and kicking over the fences. Let Us Roam Free Range #shoutout to all my fellow Idk What The Fuck I Am And I Like It That Way homies. we're so funky #and you're So fucking valid. you don't need a label and you don't need a description. you are so so so awesome and rad as hell

on the loose live my beloved

#just saw niall !! #he was a big charmer as always he's just so very boyfriend #on the loose took me so by surprise i wasn't expecting it to stick around but i love it #i think my favs of the night were black&white and this town #b&w was SO joyful and bright i almost cried lol #this town is sacred #i also... never listened to the show bc life has been a long series of nightmares #and i never felt like i could sit down and absorb something new. after i while i decided i would just. Not #and get my first exposure at the concert #and all the songs i didn't know were soooo good i'm really excited to listen to the album now #and discover what they are all called lol #i think hearing music for the first time live is such a good way to be introduced to new songs so this was nice! #anyway he was v cute you could tell he didn't want to get off the stage :( #he was still wandering around when the post-show music started playing lol #the drive was a bit stressful but he was v worth it <3 #tp

It. it literally says that she's a level 5 fey. The very first time you can talk to her, the game straight up tells you that the curiously nice old woman is a fey creature that's somehow 2-3 levels stronger than you.

How did I never realize that. Am I stupid. Can I not read. Do I not possess a pair of working eyeballs.

#squirrel plays bg3 #i was so surprised the first time i saw her transform #because at first her cute old lady act worked on me 100% and i was 0% suspicious of her #like i just did not question why there was a very nice sweet old seemingly-human lady in the refugee camp #i just loved how she said “looutions and pooutions” #the VA did such a great job with her because dang that sweetness does sound so sinister when you hear it knowing the truth #but the first time it's “oh yay! cute lady! :D i am petal; yay!”
