#- (it started to become a trend so-)

[redthemarten]

I could also make a set with every single Fontainian character in a different disco pose for this, but let's face it, I'm too lazy

(this were very quick sketches to pin down the general idea pls don't mind the crooked handwriting)

#oratrice mecanique d'analyse cardinale #Neuvillette #Wriothesley #Genshin Impact #doodles #my art #I had this one headcanon in which this has actually become a thing in Fontaine after someone recorded Neuv saying the words #and Wriothesley heard about the trend so he started playing it from the megaphones in every corner of the Fortress just for kicks #but it caught on even more than on the surface #Neuvillette once went down there for business and he wasn't pleased #it was chaos

Hi!! Same anon from the comfort question! That's so sweet and cute thank for that!! (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

now Im imagining Eddie "the southern gentleman" Dear having a mini telenovela moment while the horrors happened, he's all like "oh, I am too late, I slept too long; he is with another and have too let him go" even sad music in the background

Meanwhile Frank is cuddling Wally AND Eddie after beating the shit out o f the horror, the man need a break and also be like "this is the 3 one this week I miss my garden"

I holding onto 'frank would hold on to you like a barnacle' to Eddie after so long talking to a fake one

that is pretty much Exactly how it goes in my head lmfao - and like, the thing is that Frank & Eddie weren't really together when Shit Went Down? they were in that "we're mutually courting & neither of us has said anything outright yet but we both Know and are waiting for the right moment" stage yk yk?

so when he wakes up Frank isn't immediately all over him, cause he's kinda like "oh shit where do we stand? im not used to this, i haven't talked to Eddie in so so long! how do relationships work?!" so that + his easy & affectionate behavior with Wally creates a Perceived Emotional Distance & Romantic Disinterest from Eddie's pov. like no, hon, Frank's just rusty <3 and also unsure if he Should pursue their relationship because he's slowly fucking dying & does he want to hurt Eddie like that???

#currently imagining eddie seeing frank holding wally's hand and getting Sad #but both wally and frank interprets that as 'he wants to hold hands too' #cut to eddie with them on either side. very confused #i mean! once eddie confronts frank about it THEN frank gets a lil clingy #he was trying to be so so normal about eddie being awake... and ultimately fails <3 #frank: *dreamy sigh* you're so much better than a hat on a stick #eddie: ....thank you? #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #lights out eddie & frank are cuddling yk & then wally just moseys on over and flops down with them #eddie: ???? uh- #frank: oh hey wally #eddie: alright then... #yknow im just now noticing that i have a habit #of looking at wh pairings #and then shoving wally at them like 'hey do you want a platonic third' #like its Way more complicated than that in my mind but. its starting to become a trend #@ eddie & frank: hey yall want a little guy hanging around? #@ barnaby & howdy: yall want a lil catguy living with you??? #@ sally & poppy: yall want an emotional support buddy???

Been thinking about historical beauty standards lately and the fact that being rounder and heavier was, in fact, considered fashionable for a very long time, and then the fact that people will always interject with the “it’s because weight meant you were wealthy and able to afford food and leisure,” which, sure, is true to some extent, but it’s not like… the only reason that was desirable? Like, is it that hard to believe that people genuinely found that beautiful? That both men and women would rogue their cheeks to make them look more lively and full? That men would tailor their waistcoats to give the illusion of a potbelly because it was the fashionable silhouette? That to be soft and plump was considered lovely and attractive? Honestly, I feel people’s insistence on the whole “weight meant you were wealthy” thing can quickly become a kind of backhanded fatphobia, this assertion that being fat meant something else desirable, and thus became the Desirable Thing. People have had fat and been fat all throughout history and been found beautiful for it, period.

#i've been doing a lot of thinking today lol #idk it's just very. frustrating to me that everyone is so set on believing that and that alone #because it feels so non-genuine despite the fact that there are so many genuine portrayals of plumpness and fatness being desirable #for so long #this insistence that our bodies have to fit the fashion of the times is a relatively new invention #shapewear existed for a reason and honestly i find it to be almost like. the opposite of the reason modern people tend to say it did #it was a way of staying in fashion that didn't involve literally attempting to alter your body to achieve the unachievable #there's nothing inherently wrong with having fashions and trends until they start becoming actively harmful to people #idk i might not be the most qualified person to talk about this if someone else has thoughts i'd be happy to hear #but it's something i only realized today #history #fatphobia #body positivity #historical fashion #historyposting #this is your captain speaking

what took two years?

OKAY SO FOR CONTEXT.

fma mobile released in august of last year. it was STUNNINGLY!!!!! popular in japan when it first released and still is, and a lot of the fullmetal alchemist fanbase still played it (even overseas, hence why i made a semi-translated guide when it first came out)-- only for square enix (the company who made it) to randomly shut it down LESS THAN TWO YEARS??? INTO??? ITS LIFESPAN???

technically it shuts down march 29th of next year, but it's still not even going to make it to two years... kind of sad but extremely weird. to my knowledge they didn't even complete the full story, and the stuff they hadn't finished is turning into an audio drama and being released, so...???

(also fma mobile had a persona collab at the start of its life and it's technically another victim of the persona collab curse haha)

#-- anonymous #macchi.txt #answering machine #fullmetal alchemist #fma #fmab #fullmetal alchemist mobile #there's people working on organizing preservation stuff currently though/getting ready to but it's gonna become lost media in like. 3 month #they kind of buried themselves though. they didn't really make lasting gameplay and it was already p2w and far too difficult at the start #the japanese fanbase is extremely pissed though. so far ive heard it's gotten trending on twitter

there’s been many times in the last few years when army was so divided i thought we’d never recover but none of those times hold a candle to what’s going on right now. genuinely there’s no coming back from the way these anti-boycott, anti-DOING-FUCKING-ANYTHING armys have been acting

#they dont lift a finger to help but accuse pro-boycott armys of being ‘useless’ even tho bds korea literally endorses the hybe boycott #there are so many ways to support the cause by sending emails trending hashtags sharing fundraisers sharing any information at all #if it was just not wanting to boycott bts’s music i completely understand that it’s your choice and its very low on the priority list anyway #but these ppl are harassing palestinian and pro-palestinian armys. reporting their accounts. reporting their online stores. doxxing them. #starting massive hate trains against them. accusing them of being antis trying to ‘infiltrate’ ‘real’ army spaces. #when they are just palestinian/pro-palestinian armys trying to find a safe space for themselves and being continually pushed out #and it makes me fucking sick to my stomach to see what this fandom has become #how is any of this real. how do these people claim to love bts when they’re so passionately against everything bts have ever stood for #twt is the only place to get real info and updates on the boycott but im so quickly reminded of why i left twt in the first place #aeron.txt

i feel like one day ill be 37 sitting in my studio with no ideas on what to draw and will think "hmmm. ill just draw men" and start sketching, and then when im finished ill look at the paper and dave strider will be there staring right back at me

#and thats how ill be almost 40 and get thrown STRAIGHT back into homestuck. #ill post it in my art instagram #(instagram has become a second twitter after the og got bought by the us government and mark zuckerberg decided to profit off of that) #and my thousands of fans who adore my comic (about two guys doing fuck all i hope) will ask me #''looool whos th saucy son of sobbing clown poodle'' (internet slang for the time) #and ill type in with my old decrepit 2022 internet slang ''blorbo from my webcomic dave strider hes like the supreme skrunly'' #(three people respond to it calling me a combination of old+new 2040s slur and im not sure which of them is joking) #they decide in the posts Debate Area (second comment section for discussions to prevent fights) that he is worthy of attention #and so the 4Th Homestuck Renaissance begins. in three days the hyper online fans (chronically online people but like worse) #put it on the Cool Page (trending but worse) and homestuck goes mainstream #funkopops of the characters are made within a week of this happening #and theres a new meme of putting the official dave strider resin figurine in a jar and caprioning it THROWING HIM INTO THE SHAKER. DRINKABL #someone mentions the rainbow dash jar meme and disappears misteriously #they find out homestuck is public property since hussie was murdered in 2024 and vis media quietlt shut down a few years later #and start publishing fanfic (top ship is jadevris in a surprising turn of events) #the davekat hate is still there but like worse and im one of the top creatores to get crucified (there are 56 buzzfeed articles on me) #this ruins my comic artists career and i kill myself in november 5th 2048 #txt

#a rant in the tags but by god seeing R/WB/Y trending again on this site after 2 years of peace reminded me why i hate canon #and reminds me of all the reasons why i hate what the show became #and hate seeing it praised for representation when its so obviously no more than queerbaiting #i hate seeing people be like 'oh it was planned from the start' no it never was yall are so stupid god..... #i get that you like the ship but dont give credit to RT when in vol 1 and 2 they had 2 transphobic jokes #the only reason its getting baited so hard right now is bc they realized bb brings the honey money #if the ship.hadn't become as popular as it did i can guarantee you blake and sun would have ended up together because they dont give a fuck #they dont give a fuck about their employees about their fans all they care about is money #And yall are falling for it!!!! when there's actual good representations now out there made by people who actually care!!!! #rwde #anyway sorry rant over

Heroes brought in Alcryst. As a rearmed hero.

…I’m never truly escaping that game, am I?

we will never be free

seriously though I'm SO EXCITED that Alcryst not only got in, but got in as the Rearmed Unit since that's the new Unique Tier they've been putting out along with Ascended Units. I honestly did not know Alcryst was popular enough to nab that spot from his brother and even though it won't make a dent in his self-loathing issues I think it means a lot.

GOOD LUCK GRABING HIM FOR ALL WHO TRY

#answered #cheeseandcake #unsuspecting-person #fire emblem: engage #fire emblem: heroes #i love you alcryst #you're my boy #i apparently have a weakness for the archer lords #between takumi claude fogado and alcryst #not to mention klein from who i started loving via heroes #it's becoming a not so subtle trend #also i just love alcryst #i have terrible headcanons for the source of his self-loathing #but i just want him to be happy #the creche will dog-pile him in hugs until he learns

"I guess maybe some people just have a weird relationship with fear," says Gerard Keay.

......*delicate cough* :')

#but yeah on a more serious note it seems like a lot of the human-ish avatars do genuinely just channel their Power's mindset #causing & experiencing their particular fear isn't a desire you *explain*; it just Is Good and Nourishing on a visceral level #that experiential condition is fundamentally inseparable; baked into what they are #and so it seems to me that part of what becoming an avatar *is* is giving yourself over to let that experience of consciousness become your #you may be (probably are) trending in that mental direction when you start down a Power's path - but still human #actually being remade as an avatar pushes that up to 11 #(and much in the way that memory normally does - being immersed in that mindset makes you read it back into your earlier motivations too) #(one thing I particularly enjoy in this show is the role that cognitive blinders play in how the characters act and experience things) #........but yeah also some of us just have a weird relationship with fear XD #James liveblogs fiction #fearplay funtimes: the podcast #(who knows maybe some of this is contradicted later on but. that's my current theory anyway) #(mostly drawing on what we've seen & heard from Jude/Mike/Julia/Elias to an extent)

Y’all know the “I laugh like me again” trend on tik tok right? Ok so, just imagine it about Johnny and Marcus. 

Just imagine it. 

Them healing their relationship after the events of Sing 1 and it’s Marcus talking about how he’s starting to become how he used to be years ago and realizing Johnny is just becoming more and more like his mother. That he’s her splitting imagine, down to his laugh and love of music.

Just imagine.

#sing #sing 2 #sing johnny #sing marcus #johnny reminds marcus of his late wife in practically everything he does #he's just like her #he has her smile her passion her laugh and her eyes #i'm not crying you are #sing characters tik tok trends #i wanna draw this #so bad so bad #it's so cute yet angsty at the same time #father son relationship #healing relationships #becoming yourself again #johnny and his dad started growing apart when johnny first started obviously taking after his mum #in reality that's some of marcus's favourite things about him. that it's clear he always has his mum with him #even if that was hard for him to say for awhile #sing big daddy

5 years in review (2018-2022)

#art review #year in review #art summary #art meme #my art #i wanted to look at them together :))) #i feel like 2018 is a solid start #2019 was a little rough as i learn a new medium [digital art] #2020 was mw sort of finding brand stability in the types of pieces i did #2021 was pushing myself to really improve with focus on texture and unintentional focus on lighting #and 2022 was a fucking STRUGGLE trying to learn how to put art out consistently while working full time #like for example. jan feb march of this year. i only put out one piece each month #bc i rly dont like my job lmao and it took so much out of me >moving cross country >starting first full time job >moving AGAIN across town #also the piece from july looks wonky to me now but it still is the most polished thing from that month bc i did a bunch of quick art fight p #ieces #unintentional themes for this year: realism. red/teal palettes [or more generally warm/cool contrast]. #almost exclusively music fanart or mh/sta stuff #idk im always over critical of my year in review stuff when i first make them then warm up as i become nostalgic #you can also notice a trend of yellow slowly becoming completely absent from my works. this is bc my old laptop had issues with displaying #color and washed yellow out so i never saw it. hence why old drawings of ppl look RLY JAUNDICED. i couldnt goddamn see it #and i dont rly gravitate towards yellow too often #aqua is my fave color in general but also to work with #i didnt do 0 traditional art this year but i felt like i did less that usual probably bc i used to work on my bed but now i work at my desk #which is Very Small and doesnt have a lot of space for me to get out pens or paints or whatever #that and also. less time and energy than in previous years :( #my faves for each year by month: jan-21 feb-19 mar-21 apr-22 may-22 jun-22 jul-18 aug-22 sep-21 oct- #18/21 [tie] nov-21 dec-22 [altho i def seem to always push myself to make sth rly good in the last month of the year tbh]

[bookstoresmp3]

i really hate this trope in interracial, same-sex ships where the white character will pressure the character of color to come out

#theyll be like ‘be true to yourself!!’ when they have white american parents and virtually nothing to lose #love victor #the seven husbands of evelyn hugo #like it’s starting to become a trend and i hate it #the white character will literally manipulate the poc into coming out #even tho the POC has so much more to lose than them #the writers refuse to acknowledge that queer POC have it 10x worse than queer yt ppl #the most insidious thing yt gays ever did was create ‘ #was create come-out culture #bc yt gays cant fathom that their experiences are not universal #they think being gay cancels out their whiteness #this is also why i feel safer w straight black ppl than queer yt ppl #simi speaks #this is becoming a very racist trend #books #bookblr

calling it now: brennan lee mulligan is gonna go the way of john green and travis mcelroy in 1-5 years and it'll be you animals that did it to him

#for clarity: i mean that trends will shift and people will start finding him cringe (for the exact same reasons they liked him originally) #and then that opinion will become common enough that people will look at you funny if you say you like him #and then people will try and morally rationalise their aesthetic preferences and he'll get mega turbo cancelled for some random bullshit #im calling it now. he's too loud. he's too energetic. he's too tryhard. he's too sincere. #someone like that can only avoid Cringe for so long

Going to be slightly toxic towards zoomer weebs here but after months and months of posts shocked and awed by "breakout star vtuber" Vox Akuma and wondering how he got so popular (well for male vtuber standards at least), you all were clearly not around when CDawgVA was doing his Sebastian roleplays.

Literally Vox is just copying that formula and tweaking it to today's content standards.

British? Check

Deep (not really that deep but we'll benefit of the doubt this one) and smooth voice? Check

Giving copious amounts of fan service to his audience? Check

The only difference is Vox has corporate backing from Nijisanji because content creation is visibly profitable now and seen as way less of a risk by companies. Also he has the greatest advantage of being an image so at least physically human flaws don't exist.

Like fucking hell article writers and video essayists, do your weeb online content creation research.

#vtubers #vox akuma #cdawgva #im too old for these new fangled fandoms #also theres a way bigger conversation about the barely concealed misogyny of male vtuber fans #even though every culturally relevant trend only becomes interesting and culturally relevant when woman start to like it/succeed in it #people are saying that vtubers are mainstream now (lol they arent) are not ready for when teenage girls latch onto it in greater numbers #you know why kpop is so fucking big? teenage girls who grow up to be young adult woman who influence older adult woman to get into it #look further back in history- the Beatles were only as big as they were because woman were a significant part of their fanbase #anyways i need to go touch more grass and tune my youtube recommendations to not show me fandom shit
