i think the turning point in my life both academically and professionally was realizing that. If you Go First, be it a presentation or an interview or whatever. If you go first, you are being judged based on NOTHING but yourself. They aren't comparing you to anyone else, you don't have an act to "follow". You are the Bar. You can literally just do the best you can and at that point it will automatically be the best they've seen so far. And once you're done you're done. You can mentally and emotionally check out.

Game changer insofar as being stressed about presenting because now I just bulldoze over everyone else to go first like a feral hog.

#its true though #all my anxiety about presentations got reduced SIGNIFICANTLY once I started fighting to be first #its Good Advice #this actually especially applies to people with unfinished work like #girl you do not want to watch 9 people with complete presentations go and then give your speech #just jump on that grenade early before they've had time to be impressed by anyone #and the fallout wont be NEARLY as bad #and then its over right away #also if youre a smug petty bitch like me #you can absolutely blow the performance out of the water #and bask in the absolutely traumatized expressions of everyone who has to go after you now #if im gonna be the bar im going to set it at the ceiling #sorry #so i guess the next lesson is you have to fight to be before Me and those Like Me #rip

#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

RODRIGO BORGIA + his beloved sons

"I remember the joy of holding [Juan] in my arms. A brother for little Cesare at last."

#THEY'RE HIS BABY BOYS #he loves them so much yet he fucked their lives up rip.what ces doesn't realize is that despite his dad “favoring” juan... #it's him whom he trusts. and it took him killing juan for rodrigo to set him free from being a cleric. #if ces only knew his dad had bigger ambitions for him. he wouldn't have hated juan who loves him #things wouldn't have led to juan's death. he made ces believe that he wasn't loved by him when he does love him immensely and admires him #but decided to appointed juan a task ces has always wanted which resulted him to hate his little brother who is lost and misguided #for juan's case he never asked for the position he was given but tried his best to impress and honor the family #despite his dad's love he felt very isolated. he loved his family deeply and all he wanted was to be included in their own world #but was extremely bad at expressing it and ended up being shunned and never mourned. tragic fate indeed #david oakes #juan borgia #rodrigo borgia #cesare borgia #jeremy irons #the borgias #theborgiasedit #perioddramaedit #smallscreensource #juan and rodrigo #by jen

in honor of me finally watching season 2 of the bad batch (and once again losing my mind over these two) i decided to redraw this old comic of mine!

(originally based off of this post by @simplysummers!)

#AND APPARENTLY MY WISH CAME TRUE because i will genuinely be impressed/baffled if we don’t get any omega + crosshair interactions in s3 #i’m literally so excited for it #also. not to toot my own horn but. i’m literally so proud of the improvement between the two versions omg #i won’t lie there are some things i like better in the old one (mainly some of the expressions) #but i’m still very happy with the new one overall :] #also if any of you actually remember the old version you deserve a veteran’s discount <3 #star wars #tbb #the bad batch #tbb crosshair #crosshair tbb #tbb omega #omega tbb #crosshair and omega #the bad batch crosshair #the bad batch omega #long post #kam’s art #my post

Once Trebonius starts to hang out more with Cassius does he inherit his version of the "I am not impressed" face ?

Trebonius only connects with Cassius later in life, so he’s pretty established in his own personality and won’t be picking up anything in particular from Cassius! That said, he does have a distinct ‘I’m not amused or impressed/I am completely unfazed by everything around me’ expression as a result from hanging out with Mark Antony

#Marcus Crassus jr inherits the ‘I’m not impressed’ expression that Crassus and Cassius both share tho #since he is his father’s son #he gets a lot of mileage out of it from being in the same setting as Trebonius and Antony #ask tag

The way the phrase "Pick-Me Girl" has set us back DECADES, I'm not even kidding... Like, REALLY? We're deciding that if a "girl" doesn't conform enough to what "normal girls" do or like, the explanation is that she's doing it (or faking it, even!) to impress GUYS??? Wow, ok.

#Pick me girl #I cannot express how much I DESPISE this term #🙃 #Tangentially related but did you know that pre-sex-scandal Oscar Wilde was popularly suspected #Of faking being 'not like other guys' to IMPRESS WOMEN? #Turns out he couldn't care less about impressing women! 🤪

no but changing v's age to a tiny little baby* was silly and it was extra silly to give both female and male V the same birthday, because i see them as totally different characters with different personalities. and them having different birthdays was a nice addition that kinda highlighted it. like of course everyone can make their own V and roleplay as any kind of character they like, but i think the voice acting (english version) and romance options do paint a certain type of base for their personalities.

male v is a man in a man's world and he has to act like one in order to fit in and to survive. he has to have this cool tough guy act on, but sometimes it breaks, and you can find out what he really is feeling (for example talking to vik after the heist or the scene with skye/angel at the clouds). his romance options are both pretty big and wild personalities, and vincent in comparison to them is almost like more of a calming presence. but he does happily go along with both panam's and kerry's shenanigans.

female v is a woman living in a misogynistic world and that pisses her off. she is quick to anger and doesn't try to hide too much what she is feeling. if someone has an issue with how she expresses herself, then that's their fucking problem. to balance this, her romance options aren't as wild as panam and kerry, and they both offer a certain kind of domesticity to valerie. judy wants to move in with her immediately after their first time having sex (like a typical lesbian lol), and river is a family man and you can't make him leave his sister and her children. valerie's sex scenes are also less crazy and more "serene" and traditional than what vincent gets (a tank and a burning yacht).

some of these differences are also probably due to some underlying sexism in the writing (woman being more emotional, man getting wilder partners and so forth). but i still like that there are differencies. and when you add the three different life paths, you can get some nice variety to this pre-written character.

*i'm being overly dramatic because i myself am "old" and also a bit of a clown.

#cp2077 txt #v #cyberpunk 2077 #i started to write this and then i was like am i being really stupid (probably lmao) #but anyway #the performance of certain type of ridiculous masculinity fascinates me in v's and kerry's relationship #one of my favorite under appreciated lines in the romance is #in the sun ending when V hugs kerry and kerry says "this is what you do when you don't want to talk' #and it gives me this impression that kerry is more ready to drop that silly macho act #probably due to his age and having more experience #and he has tried to make V open up to him more #but V isn't ready yet and just turns to physical affection instead bcs he's more comfortable expressing himself that way

@eggsaladed surprised me with this BEAUTIFUL piece of my tav, emrys, and I've been holding it up and showing it to everyone who is in breathing distance since. the armor? the expression? the NOSE? thank you so so soo much, I'm so in awe of how you took some blathering of mine about medieval-tragic-joanofarc-boyknight nonsense and turned it into something REAL and PERFECT and anyways, I'm totally normal about it. eggs does amazing stuff & everyone should go check out her other art, it's so impressive and I'm just wagghrhrhrhrrrrr <- [wailing sounds]

#thank you SO SO MUCH AGAIN I've just been BEHOLDING HER. Forcing her upon ANYONE. EVERYONE. BEHOLD. #Still thinking about the pose here... the heft of her leaning into the sword is so heavy/drawn and #the worn expression / the peek of curl out from under the mantle / the cloak around her #and I'm so. the way you do ARMOR is so impressive. the glint of light on the metal. the design of it. I LOVE IT SO BAD. #you even GOT HER MUTED BLUE COLOR SCHEME and I didnt even say anything about that I'm just so AHHHHHHHHH #I love how you did her features so much too.. exactly. the NOSE. the firmness of her face. it's so perfect. #I love it I'm going to put it in my wallet. take it out like 'do you want to see my sondaughter? BEHOLD HER.' #I'm sooo happy AUHGHH okay I'll stop gushing now. I'm done now. I'm done.

Hello I made you some more art!! IDK Why your little guys have just stuck in my brain as of late but yeah I'm just on a roll I guess!

This piece was inspired by wondering who was present around Machete's assassination, and how people around him would react to his downfall. So I had the idea for a portrait of a final lover's embrace, as Vasco holds his dying beloved in bloodsoaked arms.

I tried my best with the clothing -- especially the shoes -- and I think I did a pretty good job but BOY were they hard! XD Anyways, I hope you like this one, it was a blast to draw! I love machete sm istg <3

#Machete #Vasco #own characters #coldandfoggy #gift art #hhhhadgasjgdshad??? #THIS #¿¿¿¿¿ #congratulations you've managed to deliver some immense mental damage through the ethers #and I mean that as a compliment I live for the moments when art just really Hits You Where It Hurts #loving the way the scarlet red of Machete's cassock blends seamlessly with the pool of blood #Vasco's expression speaks volumes #he was always a very touchy feely person so thinking of their final embrace just puts a pit in your stomach #poses like this are tricky but Machete looks appropriately limp and lifeless and at peace in a way that's cruelly ironic #the halo is a nice touch it kind of evokes pietà imagery #the clothing and the shoes look fine I wouldn't have guessed you had issues with them if you hadn't mentioned it #just a grand old liver punch this one #damn son #thank you for drawing the sad dog guys I'm very flattered they've made an impression! I know I'll be agonizing over this piece for a while #some potentially upsetting lore musings!! violence and tragedy and stuff: #I haven't cemented the chain of events yet but I believe he was ambushed by a single assailant when he was alone #either early in the morning or late evening #he didn't manage to put up much of a fight that time the first stab punctured a lung and the second nicked a carotid artery #I believe you lose consciousness in a minute or so and generally bleed out in less than three #Vasco wouldn't have been informed of the murder because why would he be and even if he somehow found out very quickly #the distance between Rome and Florence is roughly 250 km don't quote me on this but it looks like it'd take at least 4 days on horseback? #I think but I don't know how horses work to be honest #maybe they had some sneaky correspondence going on but if there was a pause in communications it wouldn't have been a cause for concern #so it's highly likely he'd only find out when he rolled in town for another business trip #and Machete had been buried weeks or months ago

Love this interpretation of Mr. M. I gotta ask: How do you think an aftermath with Mr. M would look like?

After the whole fiasco, Mario's memories of his time as "Mr. M" are slow to resurface. In the meantime, Princess Peach is thinking over what she'd seen... how the man she had always known to be bright-eyed, energetic, and eternally positive, had for a short time been robbed of his memories and reduced to something so desperate and pitiable. Luigi is in a similar boat, but he is less startled than Peach is. He had caught tiny glimpses of that side of Mario in quiet moments after particularly stressful days, but he'd never before seen it in such extremes. Not even when they were children.

Mario is confused at first as to why Luigi and Princess Peach check on him so often, why they keep reassuring him that everyone's safe, why they offer to take turns with missions "if he ever needs a break." Mario thinks that it has to do with whatever happened while he was under Count Bleck's control... it must've been worse than he thought. He must've gotten hut at some point. He must've really had them worried.

Then, slowly, the memories come back to him...

... Begging Luigi to switch sides, raining down blows through tears and whimpered apologies, blubbering to Peach about scared he is... how the rest of Team Bleck is counting on him... how he didn't want to "ruin everything." He remembers trembling in the presence of Bowser, desperately pleading with him not to hurt anyone. Every emotion that he felt but sternly denied himself had been forced to the surface, stirred up, and let loose, and everyone he most wanted to keep under the impression that he was perfectly okay– be it for the preservation of their happiness or for the safety of the kingdom– had gotten a front row seat...

#super paper mario #Mr. M #askbox #anon #thus therapy ensues #but don't worry Luigi and Peach have firmly agreed to keep Bowser under the impression that #Mario's multiple meltdowns were AAAALLL the fault of brainwashing. Not a sincere expression of repressed emotions at all. No sir.
