Swapping tips on how to be a bestie in the bath.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #dungeon meshi #marcille donato #It is going to take a long time for pd-mdzs to get to the bathtub scene. At least we can have another gay bathtub scene sooner. #I know everyone is hyping this up at the yuri episode but guys it does not even start nor stop at the bathtub scene. #Hey old danmeshi fans; you guys remember when the animated trailer came out in 2019 and we lost our minds? #Now we are on the cusp of getting a *second* animation of the farcille cuddle moment. It feels unreal. #I have missed drawing wwx so much by the way. This was so healing. #This week is for dungeon meshi and next week is for raffles. Wei Ying... I miss thee. #Marcille and wwx have more in common than just this but that's spoilers B*) #I'll be back Thursday with more Dungeon Meshi art. Wouldn't miss this one for the world. #DUNGEON MESHI SPOILERS: now that the anime has caught up to the scene…yeah this handshake was also about necromacy #and bringing back someone loved…wrong. It is also about being a prodigy who falls from grace #and they both opt to study something that is deemed ‘evil’ because society said it was. They believe their method can be used to help! #not to mention the toxic self-reliance qualities. And the dark outfit transformation moment. They should have brunch together.

I've been bewitched body and soul by @uncontrol-freak's corvosider au in which Corvo is a grizzled sea captain, so I made a short fan comic for ch 2. If you want to know where the seas will take them, check out their fic, Abyssal!

Higher quality version linked here because tumblr always chews up my comics

#seriously though I highly recommend abyssal #corvosider out at sea what more could you want #seasoned and gruff captain attano has me swooning #overall though I’m pleased with how this comic turned out #big departure from my usual style and I think it paid off #the idea for it to be on old nautical maps is what struck me first while reading the fic #thanks for the inspiration!! #I love this fandom I love how we all feed off each others ideas and share with each other #(also yeah I’m finally glazing my art now and I hate how it makes it look. if you bring up the artifacts I WILL cry) #uncontrol-freak #my art #my comics #abyssal fic #dishonored #the outsider #corvo attano #corvosider #dishonored fanart #dishonored au

As someone who wanted to switch disciplines in college but whose request was denied a support signature by a tutor because he didn't personally like the field I wanted to go into, Gorgug's talk with Porter hit home. Also as someone who's made some funky character builds for the sake of a story lmao 😅. God I love Dimension 20 (particularly Fantasy High)'s ability to take nitty gritty D&D rules, like prerequisites for multiclassing and taking levels for flavour, and weaving them into the story in a very meaningful way and turn them into beautiful character moments.

#dimension 20 #d20 #gorgug is always my favourite boy but now even more so #fantasy high #gorgug thistlespring #fantasy high junior year #fhjr #fhjr spoilers #spoilers #dimension 20 spoilers #i was in a fine arts FOUNDATION course which is meant to help you on the way to choosing your future course #a month and a half in i knew i wanted to swap to the animation foundation course which was allowed in the first 2-3 months or whatever #but the fine art tutor hated the animation tutor (not without reason but dont bring the 18 year old into your drama) and wouldnt allow it #anyways i aced the fine art year; made every assignment about animation; got into animation course; and im 10 years into my career now ✨

been thinking about this a lot lately. if i had the opportunity to leaf through a first folio, i would lick one of the pages and that would be my contribution to history. reblog with which play you would lick in a first folio i'd do antony and cleopatra

#she hath such a celerity in dying #text post #shakespeare #first folio #what genuinely fascinates me is that unlike almost every other collectible item. first folios are of MORE interest for how they've altered #there is more to study in them if we can see readers' annotations or the names of owners or mark-ups #or their food stains or their cats' pawprints walking across the page!!! #well there is no such thing as a first folio (an authentic one) of little value. all of them are of value for the historical preservation #and in a sense the stories of what have happened to the individual copies are ALSO preservation #i am a believer that what happens to an object is also a form of art. #the book is a piece of art and it has inherent value. the wear and visible usage of it adds to it #and i would love for one of the first folios in the world to be known as the one diana britneyshakespeare once licked #i would be building on the history of that book #what other bitch you know is gonna lick a 400-year-old book? #i have thought about this TOO much. no one is ever gonna let me near a first folio huh #this is by the way NOT an intrusive thought in the slightest bc I EXPERIENCE NO DISPLEASURE AT THE IDEA #bring me one!!! bring me the one that belonged to milton!!! i have plans for it 👅

OC-tober (late) Day 7: Personality

Guess who finally watched ATLA

#oc-tober #bweirdoctober #bweirdoctober 2023 #oc: fross #oc tag #deni's stuff #deni's art #oc art #i believe artekai would find something to relate to in most of the gaang BUT would not like anyone from the fire nation #bc they're carja coded. yes yes artekai has forgiven the carja but it would still bring back horrible memories #fross tho. pretty sure he would latch onto zuko and only zuko like a leech #i like to think he watches it while in sirius with stanley bc. well. things get boring as an immortal. #so i like to think they start catching up on any old media they have in the apollo archives. just like in general. that's my headcanon #so anyways. they are watching a/tla but then they get to the moment when zuko realizes he betrayed the one person who ever believed in him #and fross is like ''hmm. don't like that.'' so he shuts down the holo and he's like ''welp! too bad there are no more episodes'' #and stanley is like. what. it can't end like that. and fross is like hmmm well it does. it does end like that #and stanley is like. there are more episodes in the episode list. and fross is like. ah. well. those are the lost episodes #there was a fire at the. factory. in the archives where they keep the cartoons. they are no more we can't watch them #and stanley's just like hmm. none of what you said sounds right. fross are you okay? i know what happened to your aunt- #and fross is like SHUT UP YOU STUPID ASS!!! THERE ARE NO MORE EPISODES!!!!! sorry i yelled at you please don't leave me 🥺 #and that night when stanley is asleep fross sneaks out and wipes out the rest of the episodes from the apollo database #anyways who do you think fross ships zuko with? i have three guesses #one is sokka bc he fits fross's perception of kai best. so it's like shipping frosskai to him #(which is funny because. while kai DOES relate to sokka he would INSIST he's way more of an aang. kai and fross get into fights about this) #the second one is mai because. idk. i see him being into it. can't explain it #and my third guess is just his own oc. he makes his own oc to ship him with zuko #i love the thought of fross having even littler guys of his own LMAO. come one he's lived 900 years he's GOT to have made ocs #oh ALSO i was going to draw stanley in the background but he wasn't turning out like i wanted him to so i just left the anime girl. sorry #OH I FORGOT i also wanted to add. very fitting that i made fross's shadow a prince huh. i think i really did something there

[floralovebot]

on flora's whitewashing: is it possible that flora has been whitewashed in the show/movies with her artwork (illustrations) being fairly consistent with her skin tone, even prior to the reboots/nick era? like in season 1 and the movies iirc

examples: s1e3, and the movies like secret of the lost kingdom? i remember thinking she looked lighter in several scenes of lost kingdom and in that episode of season 1

i wonder if this is something that happened with flora in s1, with it not being or less a problem in s2 and 3, with the movie having a similar skintone to the reboot pictures. i swear that this has happened but i dont really see any discussions on rainbow lighting her skin other than in newer media (where it is more prevalent and more obvious) so if you have any thoughts? maybe also slightly on the merchandise/doll side of things if youre interested?

Rainbow whitewashing characters like Flora and Aisha has absolutely been an issue for a very long time. Unfortunately, a lot of white fans don't notice unless it's more of an extreme example (like Flora being stark white or Aisha looking like Bloom).

In the first three seasons, it's really not seen as a big issue because it's genuinely innocent on their part. Those seasons were hand drawn so every now and then you get a scene where the skin is too light or too dark and doesn't actually make sense with the lighting. Usually, it's an innocent mistake due to multiple artists, not understanding lighting, and things just slipping past them because they're looking at these scenes for hours and they get used to it.

Here are some examples from the first four seasons where their skin is too light even with the lighting happening around them.

And for reference, this is what their normal skin tone is (and what they look like in most scenes).

Again, people don't usually talk about these because it (most likely) wasn't racist or malicious intent from Rainbow. They just didn't understand lighting ajdhglad This actually happens with all of the winx! Just go through some episodes and you'll notice that even the white characters get lightened in ways that don't make sense.

As for the movies, Flora was 100% whitewashed in the first movie.

Flora got the brunt of it in sotlk - she's whitewashed for the entire movie, while Aisha is only whitewashed in certain scenes. There are scenes where both of them look normal and aren't whitewashed so maybe some fans just didn't realize, but if you watch the movie, you'll notice that Flora is whitewashed completely and only looks right when they're in super dark places which,, yikes ahdgalhg

The dolls were also a problem! The whitewashing in the doll lines heavily depended on the manufacturer though so it's very hit or miss.

A lot of the early dolls are perfect or almost perfect but some of them are whitewashed like in these examples. It's the later dolls that have the most whitewashing though so they tend to get more criticism (plus the early dolls are no longer being made).

Most of the other early (s1-s3) merchandising (like the magazines, bags, stickers, etc) didn't whitewash either of them.

I'd say almost all of the promotional art for the first three seasons was consistent and didn't whitewash any of the characters. It's hard to believe now of course but Iginio was initially really excited to make winx diverse (like he intentionally changed Flora to latina instead of white to make it more diverse). Rainbow intentionally whitewashing them really started with the first movie and then snowballed into what we have now. Unfortunately, I think so many white fans are so used to the whitewashing, that they've started to no longer even notice it unless it's super extreme. Like with the recent s9 promo art, most people weren't noticing Flora at all (and not ignoring her, specifically not noticing), and in a lot of fanart, they do not notice unless they're literally white.

Whitewashing has been a big issue in winx for years but I think there are a lot of fans who look at the early seasons with so much love and nostalgia that they don't want to admit it, or they don't understand how lighting affects skin, or their favorite character isn't Flora or Aisha so they just never pay attention to them (blorbo hyperbeam is very real). I'd still say that a lot of the early whitewashing was due to innocent mistakes regarding lighting and manufacturing, but the first movie was extremely on purpose (and so is everything after that).

#fans are naturally going to bring up the later things more since its happening Right Now #like the s9 promo art. the entirety of fate. s8. etcetc are all more relevant than a random doll thats not being made anymore yknow? #its still important of course but we can't change what happened unfortunately #but we can influence them now! #s9 is actually a really good example of how fans have pressured them to stop whitewashing! just look at aisha!! #she looks absolutely gorgeous and they even took the time to give her a real black hairstyle #(obviously not saying that her og hair isnt natural but you get what i mean. her having vaguely curly hair is not the same thing) #especially since they often give her Super Straight hair like in the movies #unfortunately flora still looks too light but if fans actually notice and make noise about it we Can make a change #even if that change is s10 instead ajdhgal #also holy shit s10... god its been so long i feel old now what the fuck #adhgladhglj #age crisis aside the whitewashing has been around for a while now #i didnt even touch on world of winx adhglhadg #answered #long post

[suite-dee-reynolds]

Wait, you've been a Sunny fan for 8 years?! You've got to tell us how it's been in that time!!! What's the vibe been like here in that time and how has it changed? What were the big fan theories? Was r/iasip always such a hellhole dumpsterfire? What are the big things from the fandom back in the day that we don't know about but should?

Ooooh lets see what I remember-

Charlie reigned supreme- like really and truly so many blogs and so, so much content was Charlie Charlie Charlie, everyday, all the time and I mean he still is insanely popular but definitely back in the day Charlie in the show and of the cast was easily the most popular, like it felt like 7/10 posts were about him. Glenn was next in line but I do distinctly remember Kaitlin and Rob didn't have as much content about them, at a certain point I kinda was the Kaitlin Olson tag, that's not me being up myself I just used to be in her tag constantly and it'd be a lot of posts in a row of just me- the girls of the series def didnt always get the love they should and I'm not really sure that's changed much ☠ But yeah this was also around the time that everyone was also going gaga about Pacific Rim so that def made Charlie even more popular too.

Macdennis has always, always been a popular pairing but their popularity 100% has skyrocketed the past few years, and I mean SKYROCKETED. Like they're on par with some wildly popular mlm ships nowadays and it's lowkey so funny to see em in the ring with like. destiel 😂 now when I go in the tag it seems half the posts feature mac and dennis, which is notable to me bc Mac especially was kinda... Unloved is not the right way to phrase it bc fans have always loved him but Rob/Mac def didn't get /as/ much love back in the day. Like people often spoke of him as the weakest character but after season 13 I think he's gained more appreciation.

Fans have def gotten much bigger on theories and stuff these days, I'm sure they had em back then too but it wasn't as prevalent and none particularly stand out, it was usually just the "X characters are secretly sleeping together" type beat. I also remember a popular theory that everyone was going to die in the inevitable series finale but then the show never got cancelled and I dont know what that was about?

Reddit has always been messy and there def was a pretty big us vs them type vibe between sunny fans back then- though it was less reddit vs tumblr and more "straight dude bros" vs everyone else like I remember so many posts being like "Ugh straight dude bros don't get the show" I probably made some of those posts 😂 Lots of "Mac isn't actually gay" too which is very, very funny in hindsight- No one ever thought they'd canonize his sexuality.

Ummm... Probably the most notable thing to me tho is seeing how popular the cast has become, like 8 years ago Danny was the only "Big name" Like the media absolutely spoke of the show as these no name people and Danny Devito. I mean that was not totally the case for Charlie, he was becoming more and more popular and gaining traction in the mainstream with pacific rim and the likes but with Glenn, Kaitlin and Rob they were definitely not super well known outside Big always sunny fans so seeing them go from that to Rob being besties with Ryan Reynolds and stuff has honestly been super interesting and funny. Like I remember posting rob and kaitlins wedding pictures and getting so many people going WAIT THEYRE MARRIED?? it was hilarious to see the transition.

Yeah those are probably the biggest changes I can think of- it's gotten more popular which explains most of it, shipping has def become a much bigger thing as well, ships were pretty chill back then, there wasn't too much fic or art so thats different now :)

OH BUT ART! There's always been wonderful fan artists but nowadays wowee!! some amazing art for the series, like much more abundant! That's the gist of it :)

#Also back in the day the cast like on twitter and insta would respond A LOT #like Mary elizabeth ellis retweeted art I did of her #so did Kaitlin more than once #Kaitlin also commented on my insta posts back in the day which was sweet #Rob accidentally followed me on twitter one time after replying to me which was funny as shit bc i was like ROB MCELHENNEYS FOLLOWING ME??? #and then he wasnt </3 how could you rob </3 #Charlie never fuckall used social media and that hasnt changed #also some of them had random defunct social media accounts where i posted pics from #sometimes people still reblog like Hm wonder where these pics are from and im like #probably one of my old myspace or fanpop or photobucket expeditions #god theres some scandals i remember from back then but i wont bring those up 😂 #Yeah honestly mostly it changed from Charlie all the time to Charlie a lot of the time #the other cast members have gotten more successful and popular #and shipping is more prevalent #anyway THIS IS LONG SORRY #thank you for the ask tho was fun to reminisce <3 #askj

Finished the live action avatar

It’s not a perfect adaptation, I think the biggest thing is they have taken a lot of the fun out of it, Aang doesn’t wanna go do kid stuff, Iroh is way more serious, BUT I don’t necessarily blame like the series itself as much as I blame the current state of tv being in constraints of like 8 episodes and wanting people to binge it in the first few days and everything.

I hope they let Azula be as scary as possible next season, I think they just wanted her introduced a bit earlier since everyone was gonna be waiting for it, I hope they let Iroh chill out a bit more, but in general from my point of view if you see people bashing this series with as much vitriol as the movie then they’re being super dramatic. There are parts that could absolutely be better but like I said those issues go hand in hand with issues with all of tv right now. I think it’s decent at least, I know it’s a beloved series but some people are being HARSH

#bring back filler and characters just hanging out #and stop expecting people to watch shit in the first 30 seconds before you cancel it #for reference I think it’s a better adaptation than the new Percy Jackson tbh #same kinda vibes in the exposition dumps and kinda treating the audience like idiots but avatar just slightly bumps above percy for me #other minor issues are the acting at times but some of those times are literal children #a lot of people seem pissed at the zuko portrayal but season one zuko is dramatic af a lot of the time #and I think Dallas Liu just turned that up a bit and made him angrier which I’m not mad at #I wish katara was a little snarkier I saw someone mention her rage being kind of hamstrung and they were kinda right #it’s not entirely gone but it’s not there as much as I’d like #cgi is kinda whack at times too but that’s everything atm as well not avatar specific #the martial arts pretty good too esp fire bending they still clearly took from Shaolin kinda styles #I do wish they’d speed aang up a bit though #both in general but also stop using slow mo when he’s doing shit #anyway #I’m not super mad at it #if they don’t fuck up toph and do some better characterising of azula and iroh we might actually see it to the end #and some more episodes for like actual development but I feel like that’s wishful thinking with Netflix rn #even like 10-12 would be better and then sokka could’ve had his development with the Kyoshi warriors #and aang can show more of his reluctance and fear because he’s a twelve year old pacifist #avatar #avatar the last airbender #avatar live action #atla

This is, in my humble opinion, the best amorra story out there. The layout is a bit wonky, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad.

Long for the titles like the following: Korra/DisguisedAsATotallyNormalGuy!Amon (1/?)

There are 41 parts and some need to be expanded.

I hope you enjoy the story!
