being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

#aromantic people are just sexy i'm not making the decisions here it's just facts #course ur hot as fuck. it came free with the aromanticism #being sexy is just default settings for aromantic people 👍 #hope this all helps. anyway i'm on my 'i hope i die alone <3 i can't wait to die alone <3' kick rn #i think the existential fear that people have of Not Partnering specifically is so. well. #obviously that shit is strong and it is SO awesome to be free of it. #realizing you're aro and you don't Want a partner can be such a hit to the solar plexus #cause society says that's the only thing that'll make you happy. so either you go without that thing or you force yourself #into doing something you don't want which would make you unhappy anyway. #so you think it's a lose lose situation and you have to come to terms with what amatonormativity presents as the worst possible situation #but then! whoa! turns out personhood is inherently valuable in and of itself and romantic partnering is just a construct! #and that nightmare is now your life to do with as you please... define as you will... structure as you want... #best case scenario. is what i'm saying. #every day i wake up ready to spit all that amatonormative rhetoric back in life's teeth by being alone and being happy #and it's so fucking satisfying. every day. #fucking JUBILANT being by myself. and i love being a living breathing 'fuck you' to the romantic system #you need a partner to be happy? oh that's sooo fucking crazy guess i'll go be miserable then. in my perfect fucking dream life lmao #yeah obviously it's the worst possible outcome on earth to die without a partner. so terrible. can't wait for it :) #aromantic #aromanticism #aro positivity #aroace #arospec #sorry to bitches who are sad about not having a partner. i could not give a fuck though get better soon #you couldn't EVER pay me enough to go back to a mindset in which my inherent value wasn't enough by myself. #FUCK that shit. absolutely miserable and a bad life outlook in general. like genuinely do the work w/ amatonormativity and get better #life is something that can be so fulfilling whether someone wants to kiss you or whatever or not #i'm on antidepressants and i have people i care deeply about. what the fuck would i need a partner for lmao

[sunlitsoil]

there is always tomorrow

#lovecore #hopecore #webweaving #the presence of love is beautiful in itself #you got this #self care #self love #recovery #healing #hopepunk #recovery is not linear it is okay to have bad days you have the entirety of your life to have a better day #i wish anyone reading this a good life #i love you #you are loved #and i hope you will find happiness in the small things #i’ve been struggling a lot recently but i always remind myself the good set in store for me and look up places in the city i’ll move to #and it motivates me a bunch so i hope u all find things to strive towards mwah

i like to think post-game they’d all be friends and watch movies sometimes. scc have that big screen in their shop i choose to believe it’s a tv

based kinda on these screenshots a couple years ago :] people included are @maddestmewmew and @tenpixelsusie

if you ship scc go away please 👍

#ideally catti and jockington would also be here but. i drew enough HDHDHDHDHD #the art gallery #deltarune #scc #suselle #capsei #not explicitly but. implied with clover’s expressions #sad clover looking longingly at susie (based on unused dialogue) and mad clover glaring at capn #bc in their fight happy and mad clover expressed interest in ralsei and there’s an unused dialogue where sad clover says ‘what about her?’ #or smth to that effect #but i think it went unused bc susie wasn’t in your party at that point #also in my heart the movie itself is called “(completely benign sounding movie title)”

messing around with lineart

#all the stuff ive been doing is like . boom done #bc this one brush i have is soooo good i can get some amazing line weight by just pressing down the tiniest bit #but i was using a diff brush and trying to be much more intentional here with the lines #it took longer than what im used to but produced a nice result i think #dave strider #homestuck #i forgot your belly button . im so sorry my boy #ALSOOOO ive found smn that realyhelps me with drawing hips #like. joinign the thigh to the hip itself #i just draw a 2d rectangle at the angle im tryna get the hips to face #it really helps me visualize the pose better #also im happy with how the folds on the clothes came out ^_^ i've been studying ..

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

"distant relative" i assume you are referring to my father?

#happy father's day everyone! #mine was fucking terrible he received a C- rating at best #and that is me being fucking GENEROUS with the grading rubric yeah #anyway i love and respect anyone who feels the need to quietly publicly shame their negligent father figure on anonymous social media #there should be a RateMyProfessor website but it's RateMyParents #it would serve no possible practical purpose but it would be as potentially psychologically scalding as a ghost pepper and/or supernova so. #do it #.......that could actually be so interesting #comparing and contrasting the reviews of siblings and half-siblings and step-siblings #the differences in parental perception between the Black Sheep/Scapegoat and the Golden Child and the Middle Child and So On #(on that note why are the two main idioms for being blacklisted in your own family both *livestock* related who laid that groundwork) #ANYway. back to RateMyFather #this one dad gets nine 5-star reviews and one absolutely SCATHING no-stars review #which mathematically leaves him with a 4.5 rating BUT #the main thing you are left wondering is how did one dad end up with TEN reviews that is in itself an Indictment

Forced against my will to post these(thanks @flopnandoalonso and @schumigrace ...) , but please enjoy gifs of: Fernando at the spa (PLEASE DON'T BLOCK ME)

#posting this and closing tumblr for the rest of the night DJKFSLGR #also gifing this doesnt even feel nearly as bad as the actual clip itself #so i linked it. go watch it. #THERES JUST SO MUCH YKNOW #cause like not only is all this feet stuff going on in the background. theyre also talking abt him peeing in the car #these gifs are just ... foot stuff hm #I DONT WANT IT ON MY BLOG EITHER BUT I GOTTA GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT #i hope youre happy. i stopped drawing for tonight to make these instead UGHHHH #yes i can be peer pressured #but also i think its very funny #this clip has haunted me for more than half a year and look here now you have it #i still think i like the other massage scene better. its a lot more subtle #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #tw feet #fernando(show) #fernando s1e4 #we do a little bit of f1 #normal posts that catie normally makes in a normal fashion

#p4 #p4g #persona 4 #persona 4 golden #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #ok i love seeing the IT gang up on him its my soft spot #but also this is the kind of scene i was talking about prev #about how dunking on your friends is itself intended to be a demonstration of your closeness #yosuke's trying to make teddie feel better about himself but then he ends off his remarks with a joke #as he tends to do to diffuse tension! by being light hearted and playful #im not sure if naoto was intentionally playing into the joke here considering how new into the team they were but rise definitely was #i think a lot of Yosuke's jokes tends to take on the tsukkomi-and-boke kind of routine. #although yosuke frequently plays the tsukkomi/straight man by calling out his friends' weird logic during comedic scenes #in this scene i think rise (and naoto)'s quick reaction is very similar a tsukkomi follow up #so its not just a matter of ribbing on yosuke but also them knowing his humour well enough to follow up #and that makes me so happy because the more tragic more isolatory thing. would be for him to he ignored entirely. #he's good with his queue

Some Nergal disguises/characters

#htf #happy tree friends #htf nergal #htf be brave #Htf oc #he has so many I love drawing them #warmups #I tell y’all it feels good to be back in the drawing saddle #he’s so theatrical HA #yes the idol itself kinda counts but I guess that’s more of a…double or substitute than a disguise #an avatar is probably a better word #either way it’s a way for him to ‘safely’ interact face to face with the surface world #he gets SO BORED being alone in his burrow #yes he does have a character named creamy what’s your point?

I went down a bit of a Martian rabbit hole today and came across these pictures of Sebastian Vettel congratulating Mark Webber for winning the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix.

Uhh…let’s just say I went a teeeeeny bit feral. *glances guiltily down at my broken fingernails* Oops…! 😳

Look at these pictures and tell me they don’t look like they were about to kiss each other right there and then. I DARE you!

Apologies if these images are all out of order. That’s just how I ordered them! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Seb is the type of guy who technically *would* kiss Mark if an opportunity presented itself #I mean he was brave enough to give David Coulthard a peck on the cheek at a Japanese press conference so… #I want them to kiss so badly! #On the cheek or on the lips? Doesn’t matter! It’ll make my Martian brain happy either way~ 🥰 #I love them with all my heart your Honour #I feel much better from the cold but not from the Martian fever #It’s a fever that’s everlasting and cannot be cured 💕 #martian monday #martian #sebastian vettel #vettel #mark webber #webber #formula 1 #f1 #2010 #2010 monaco grand prix #2010 monaco gp #red bull #red bull racing #not bad for a number two driver #monaco #monte carlo

Laughter Leaves the Perfect Opening for Heartbreak

I read this somewhere and I cannot for the life of me remember where now. But I have taken this to heart.

Writing a good, silly, funny character is hard. Sometimes you go too far and they're more irritating than funny. Because laughter is a legitimately hard emotion to evoke in people. A lot of comedians have opening acts because you have to warm up the audience - get them in the mood for laughter. Because to make someone laugh intentionally when you know maybe they're not feeling like it - that's hard. When they know a joke is coming, people guard themselves - so the joke has to be really, truly funny.

And when you get people to laugh - honest and sincerely laugh? Boom. Straight shot to the heart. The walls are down. Move in.

Because when you're dealing with a sad character, you know you're gonna be sad. Going through a sad story that starts sad just becomes an exercise in endurance. Which isn't necessarily "oh this made me sad" but like "Im already sad and Im trying to be different". Tragic is a gut punch when its a status change and not like an ongoing status effect.

There's a thin line between comedy and tragedy, but not just in a comic scene could easily be twisted as a tragic scene. The thin line is also all the ways a comedy sets an audience up for tragedy. When the audience is all warmed up, they're easier to affect - their emotions are loose and for the molding.

Which is why Sam is So Good. His perfectly tragic characters are those that make you really happy - take you up and up and up. So it's a hard fall down.

FCG/Loquacious are perfect tragedies because they're supposed to be shy of ridiculous.

#critical role #cr spoilers #theres sad characters that start from the bottom #so your brain kinda goes oh yeah thats sad #and guards itself so it doesnt get sadder #its So Much easier to go down if you get a bit more leverage #happy characters that make you sad #thats the best #my one true goal in storytelling #is to make someone laugh so hard that they just dont stop crying

the faggot from mcr has little white beard hairs …. if you even care.

#His age is beginning to show itself and i'm so happy that we're both here to see it happen #you must felix your heart

doomed valentines 🥀

aka what if kel and aubrey took over sweetheart’s castle ?

this is an au where if you interact with the keeper of sweethearts castle as anyone but omori, it unlocks a whole new optional level. you wake up in the picnic area with hero but no kel or aubrey. sweethearts castle is different and basil joins you for this level

the castle's main towers seem to have split into two, but the main building remains one, and smaller from the outside. but it turns out to be unnaturally spacious at times, as if the building was a psychological maze trying to separate... certain people apart

you find aubrey. she looks different, but happier. “it's like a princess' dream come true. it’s everything i could ever want and more.” she says, smiling at you. “now... all i need left is my lovely prince charming—”

“hey, guys !!”

enter kel.

“ugh.”

kel also looks different, if not for the fact hes wearing an obnoxious shade of pink, head to toe. he is happy to see you all. “everyone here LOVES me ! they respect me and trust me and all that kinda stuff. man, i feel so powerful ! im never leaving this place !”

that didnt seem to sit right, so hero intervened. “but.. if you stayed here, wouldn’t you miss everyone else ? omori, basil, me... mari ?”

“well, duh ! that’s why you guys will be staying with me too !”

that broke a new fight between kel and aubrey, but for the wrong reasons

it ends with aubrey dragging basil along with her, hero with kel, and you alone on the bridge connecting the two towers. you have a choice to follow one of them first. lets say, kel.

you head for kels tower and find hero talking with kel, trying to convince his brother.

“didja know ?? the sprout moles here love me so much they made me offerings, like, im a god or something ! pretty cool huh ?”

“..offerings ?”

“yeah ! oh man.. hero, youre not jealous, right ?”

“wh— no. its just.. a bit ridiculous.”

“...ridiculous ?” kels confused expression contorts into a smile, that of understanding. “i see whats going on. its okay, hero, i know its gotta be tough to be put to the side. and overlooked. bet its weird not being in the spotlight for once.”

you caught a quick flash of horror written on heros face. “kel.. are you saying this because—”

“but its ok ! as long as were here, neither of us will ever have to feel that way !”

remaining determined, hero put his foot down. “thats enough, kel. you cant stay here.”

“yea, thats a good one, bro.”

“im... serious. were leaving, kel.”

the younger boy stops laughing. ”...oh. youre— why ?”

“i dont think this place is anything like it seems. i think its a sham.”

kel barks with laughter.

“oh so when it benefits ME is it a sham. man, how selfish can you be ?”

“...what ?”

“you really cant stand it when its not all about you, huh ? but what about me ? what about kel ?”

“i-i think this place is affecting you. please, kel, listen to me.”

“no. if you wanna leave so bad, fine ! the sprout moles can send you out. but im not leaving. im happy here anyway, and you wont get it.”

with that, kel leaves you two in his tower. hero seems distracted, before suggesting you both go find basil

you head for aubreys tower, only to find a scared basil locked in a cell. upon freeing him, he stares over your shoulder.

“o-omori.” he whispers. “...behind you.”

“well, well.. well !”

enter aubrey.

“aubrey! why was basil locked in?” hero asks, perplexed.

“hm? well, he kept trying to leave! i couldnt let that happen, not when i was sharing my happiness with him.” aubrey frowns. “i thought he was my friend.”

basil looks terrified. “aubrey.. i am your friend.”

“hmhm, of course you are. friends dont leave each other behind, right omori?”

hero once again steps in. “aubrey, i think youre taking this too far. of course we want you to be happy, but kidnapping your friends isnt the way. this place is messing with your heads, so we should leave before it gets worse.”

but your path is blocked by kel in the doorway.

“that wont do.” aubrey hums behind you, brandishing her shiny pink bat. “no.. not at all. what do you think, kel ?”

“i think its rude to leave in the middle of a party. right, hero? you taught me that one!”

“kel..”

he then takes a bow as aubrey joins him. “so, friends, may we have this dance?”

“let us sweep the floor !”

boss battle mechanics !

you can not change aubrey or kels emotions even at the start of the battle. the only ones who can change their emotions are each other, so the best strategy is to adapt with your own party’s emotion play

there are 4 phases to this battle. a neutral state, tier one emotion, tier two, and lastly tier three, much like most emotion based bosses. between each phases, aubrey will make kel happier, while kel makes aubrey angrier. they are not made to have the sad emotion, however,

if you end third phase with an attack from hero, kel will start fourth phase with a depressed emotion instead of manic, giving your team good advantage on winning since he relies on speed. aubrey will still be furious, but its still one enemy disadvantaged

once you defeat them they will go snork mimi in your arms and you must carry them out of the castle and back to mari.

“aww, i guess its past their royal nap time !”

#added choppy explanations under the cut i copy and pasted them from my twitter so pls excuse the writing. LMAO #i swear i write better than this im just laying down what the au is all about #also i didnt put it in there but when i said the castle was weirdly big inside like its trying to separate some ppl ? i was talking abt #kel and aubrey. i meant to show that the castle serves to give the prince and princess their biggest desires #like aubrey living in luxury and happiness in romantic pink while kel lives the fantasy of being the beloved golden child #but the thing is. those are kinda surface level wishes. or ones they Think wld make them happy #like aubrey and kel finding each other annoying. so its obvious for them to want to be away from each other right ? #and thats exactly what the castle acts upon. it gives them all those surface level wants #but despite being separated by space manipulation itself. kel and aubrey seem to Always find their way towards each other #which both will scoff and groan at. not realizing that their heart longs for the others presence ! #something something your love for each other beats the labyrinth of psychological horror trying to keep u apart. and you Hate It #i think their dynamic is rly funny #omori kel #omori aubrey #omori hero #omori basil #omori (character) #kel omori #aubrey omori #hero omori #basil omori #omori #kelbrey #omori baseball bat #omori fanart #fanart #my art #omori sweetheart #kind of ?? the theme is based around her #ALSO I REDREW THE UI MYSELF BC I COULDNT FIND A HIGH QUALITY VERSION OF IT GRRR

[mohabbaat]

this is so funny you and everyone is talking about 500 years of suffering like babar made masjid on temple that has no proof was there toh aise toh aadhe hindu temple medieval age aur stone age mein stupas ko tod ke bane hai. literally what was happening before the delhi sultanate came in to existence. the temple of kalapriya destroyed by indra III for example. temple desecration was a pretty common affair. if the supreme court of india was any good (or let's be real not dominated by upper caste hindu who perpetuate brahman hindutva) the decision would have been babri masjid not mandir. india as it was made in 1947 died today.

there is nothing I can say which will change you point of view so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

#asks #not commenting on the kashmir issue cause i am not well read enough for it #and anyway i (unlike some of you) understand that celebrating your religion #is not the same as supporting the party in power #its not about political victory or glory or whatever #it has always been and will continue to be about our god #i am irritated by the pomp and the constant reporting too #doesnt mean i am not happy about the temple itself #its not always black and white #no natter what some random 'liberals' on tumblr might say after reading two (2) whole articles #on why this is wrong
