Doodle dump time!

[Image: a collection of greyscale doodles, as follows:

1) A portrait of the artist, lying on the floor with an existential expression as their face and hands begin to melt into a puddle. On the wall above them is a simple calendar with two shaded days marked, two weeks apart from each other. I was trying to capture the feeling of realising your D&D is not today but in a week from now, or alternatively missing a game that’s long finished/been on hiatus.

2) Cato, a chubby drow with an irritated expression on his face, having been woken from rest on a false alarm. His narrow eyes are narrowed yet further than usual, and his arms are folded over his chest. His hair is full of curl rollers and he’s wearing a sheer robe with a fluffy, feathery trim, the very picture of sophisticated decadence interrupted.

3) A work-in-progress from a larger piece, depicting Solace, a very short, gaunt drow, with downward-pointing ears, leant on his gnarled walking cane and staring ahead with a look of resolute nihilism from beneath his choppy hair. His foot on the side away from the cane is turned far outwards from its knee, in a way that it looks like it ought not to be able or comfortable to. He wears a peaked cap and a sharp cape coat with brocade fastenings, and warily clutches a battered journal in his free hand.

4) A very simple little cartoon of the artist knelt down with a ring box, on the verge of tears, proposing to mononykus: a small, feathery dinosaur that looks somewhat like an owl crossed with an anteater (modelled after its appearance in Prehistoric Planet, in which I fell in love with it). Beneath it is small text in brackets that reads “I am going to put it on her one big claw”, referring to the ring. Mononykus, with long, narrow tongue extended, looks indifferent to the whole affair. (Disclaimer: this is a joke about how quickly I was taken with and utterly delighted by this animal upon learning of its existence. I am not attracted romantically to dinosaurs.)

5) A headshot of the artist, with a small moustache drawn on and lines down from either side of the mouth like a nutcracker’s hinged jaw, in a peaked cap with an anchor emblem. (I was going for sort of a Toy Soldier-type sona, and I know mine looks very similar to its inspiration, but I can’t help that I look like that and these kinds of service uniforms have a lot of common design elements. This character would be maybe a clockwork lightkeeper.)

6) A drawing of my grandparents: a bent-over, ancient, serene-looking man with two watches on each wrist, and an elderly woman with curly hair and beady eyes, wearing a large chunky necklace and waving.

7) A very simplified drawing of my sorclock, Piper, wielding their meteor hammer. They are drawn as little more than a triangle and a quadrilateral with arms and dotted eyes, and a few lines for their characteristic hair, with two ellipses for the ends of the hammer, rotating too fast to be seen.

8) Solace, in his peaked cap and coat, laying face-down in the snow, given up. All that can be seen from under his hat are his pointed ears, and tufts of hair in every direction. Behind him are a few telltale footprints, marking his path, and fat, blurred snowflakes fall across the whole of the image.

i just think it is very funny that the fanon characterization of salem includes both ‘terrifyingly skilled manipulator’ and ‘ does not comprehend basic emotional drives, such as love’—pick one.

in particular i’m thinking about the common reading of salem’s choices immediately before hazel punches her—that she really does just decide in a fit of pique to torture emerald and tells hazel as much because, i suppose, she arrogantly presumes he would never turn against her. always from the same people who turn around to style this character as an emotional puppetmaster effortlessly pulling everyone’s strings… except when plot convenience demands otherwise, apparently

she uses emerald to discipline hazel in 6.4—he lies to her to shield em from any retribution for their failure, salem pins him to the ground and wrings the truth out of emerald. salem knows damn well that hazel is willing to disobey her for emerald’s sake. she knows his fear of her is surpassed by his love for this girl. she intimidates emerald—and then does not actually hurt her—to make a point to hazel.

emerald fools salem by making oscar look like hazel, and salem’s reaction implies that she’s a tad surprised to find him out and about—“ah, hazel! have you gotten what we need yet?”—meaning salem would have expected hazel to be interrogating oscar. minutes later, she discovers that the lamp is missing and oscar has almost escaped with emerald’s assistance. and the lamp disappeared around the same time. so, think about this from salem’s perspective for a moment:

how did oscar leave his cell undetected?

and if emerald didn’t take the lamp, who did?

salem can tell emerald isn’t lying to her about the lamp. the confusion is genuine, and the terror when salem repeats the question is also genuine; salem drops the magic and turns away from her instead of trying to squeeze blood from that stone. from this moment onward, salem knows there are two traitors: emerald, and whoever took the lamp.

the only other people on monstra right now are hazel and neopolitan. given that salem caught emerald trying to sneak oscar out, and given that she knows how close emerald is to hazel—and how protective of em hazel is—who do you think she is most likely to suspect as the accomplice?

“ah, hazel. i found our guests—this one was helping him. take the boy back to his chamber; i have work to do with this one.”

if you read salem as a master manipulator—or if you, like me, read salem as a person with a solid grasp on the human psyche even if she lacks the social dexterity to be anything better than mediocre at manipulating people—there’s… kind of only one conclusion to draw here. she’s not an idiot. she knows how much hazel cares about emerald. she knows someone—not emerald or oscar—swiped the lamp. she knows hazel was not where she expected him to be when oscar was let out of his cell, apparently by hazel’s surrogate sister. hazel conveniently wandered out to the docks where she just caught emerald trying to escape with oscar and a bunch of kids. she turns to hazel and says loudly: look, your proxy sister is a traitor! i am going to hurt her now! before turning her back on hazel and leaning in reeeeal close with magic crackling around her hands HOW DO YOU THINK SHE EXPECTED HIM TO REACT? lmao

and then he punches her and the first thing she does is unbind all her hostages.

like. hello

#it’s just so funny #she plays him like a fiddle #and also the fandom apparently #fr rewatch 8.9 sometime and reeeeally think about what salem does at every point #after yang says ‘summer rose. my MOM.’ #bc this one scene is why i’m dead certain summer is alive and well and freely chose to join salem—it’s the only read that #makes sense of why salem Does This

I have two views of Pritchard's thoughts on Halt and Crowley and it all just depends on how I'm feeling:

Version one: I have two sons and both of them are very chaotic and very traumatized, they just have different ways of showing it.

Version 2: Despite popular belief, I don't have two sons. I have one grumpy son and one redheaded son-in-law, or at least, that's how it would be if one of them decided to just make a move already.

#ranger's apprentice #crowley meratyn #halt o'carrick #Pritchard has at least one son #sometimes two #I pick version two 8.9 times out of 10

[mukuberry]

[shantechni]

After so many months of having nothing but a literal sneak peak in our arsenal:

We finally have the holy trinity🙏🏽

#8.9/10 for us never getting a genuine shot of his arm missing in the anime--it's just L's left and right for us manga readers😩 #he's less scarred up but it still hurts just as much to see for the third time😭 #i also saw numerous people theorizing that he'll likely end up with /more/ scars considering the direction the anime is going and I- #i just can't #anime #manga #trigun #trigun stampede #vash the stampede #vash trigun #vash

[southieparkie]

okay but seriously guys, this episode was great. almost every part of the fandom got their share of glory.

style shippers are winning rn, the cupid me theorists finally have their answers, the cartman lore enthusiasts now have more newfound information to construct theories and headcanons with, the kyle fans DEFINITELY were represented tonight.

geologist randy lovers stand up, polyamorous south park shippers stand up, south parkies who play an instrument stand up.

im telling you, everyone got their piece of the pie!!!

#south park #sp #south park season 26 #sp spoilers #i give it a solid 8.9/10!!!!!! :D
