#I love them pls go listen to them

(Okay wait so sorry I was just thinking about thay marrying Heket post and like, it's 3AM I just got this thought. The lamb can like, canonically read minds. Heket can't speak much but she can still think lmao, so out of everyone, the lamb is the only one who can actually hear what she has to say in a way. It made me EMOTIONAL so i needed to share the thought. Very sorry)

It’s ok! It’s fun getting to answer asks and splurge about my lambket hcs.

Also speaking on the lamb reading minds, I had the same hc for them when I first started drawing them and getting this ask reminded me of that and I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought of it😭. To expand on it a little bit, the lamb didn’t start reading her mind when they first met since things were still tense after everything that’s happened, and they didn’t want to invade her privacy out of respect. Others tried to convince them otherwise and say it was careless to not check in on the ex-bishop, saying that it was highly possible that she might be planning against them, however, the lamb still went out of their way to do anything they can to gain her trust. Heket was skeptical at first, and thought their gestures of kindness was just a ploy for something more malicious (it wasn’t, the lamb is just gay), but once enough time has passed and she was convinced they really meant no harm, Heket allowed them to read their mind out of convenience.

Usually Heket would tap the lamb on then shoulder once or twice to signal to them read what she wanted to say, but overtime the lamb just kinda knew when they should start reading. And since then, it’s been a lots less stressful and annoying on Hekets part to communicate with others now that she has someone willing to listen and tell others what she really means. And after getting married, it’s often common for them to just have full on conversations with each other with just the lamb reading Hekets thoughts while they happily stay by her side to listen to her talk about whatever is on her mind and listening to the bashful compliments they get from her once in a while. Ones that only the lamb has the honour of hearing.

#cult of the lamb #cotl #lambket #I’m sorry if this is a lot I just love talking about them #I need to make more of them when I can😭 #also shoutout to the person in the tags of my lamb/heket art that told me about their ship name #I am going to fill this tag up dskfjnkdsjnfnjksdf #if anyone wants to listen to me infodump about my lambket then pls let me know-💥

another fun angst potential that i don't see enough in fic is the fact that dick initially doesn't even like damian. he gives the "go ahead" to make damian robin, but it's initially alfred's idea! dick is grudgingly mentoring a kid that he doesn't even like and i need people to make more fics about this because the angst potential for both him AND damian once he realizes that he DOES care about damian (hopefully under whumpy circumstances muahaha) is literally gold. AND EVEN BETTER IF DAMIAN IS AWARE

#me staring so hard at a ten year old fictional child: what if like you were really sad and lonely and your kinda older brother hated you and #your dad was dead and your other kinda older brothers also hated you and you've been brainwashed since a child by your super fucked up #grandfather but actually you're an adorable child who loves animals and art and wants to have friends your own age but you have no idea how #to do that so you become robin because if people won't love you at least they will respect you but then you get kidnapped and tortured #fucked up all of your training and you're going to get fired or sent back to your grandfather or maybe no one is even going to show up but #then your older brother saves you and you don't understand #SCREAMS #DAMIAN WHUMP PLS!!! #damian wayne #listen i love jason & damian bc they are a criminally underused dynamic in the comics BUT #dick and damian ARE used in the comics and there's still sooo little fanfic about them #that isn't 'dick is damian's pseudo dad' which i personally don't care for #I JUST WANT FUN WHUMP WITH THEM

I made a fanart for:

Trollhunter!Strickler: Destiny's Ill-fitted Chosen

Chapter 37: A first, and perhaps last,

From: @toodrasticallydumb

Soo spoiler for chapter 37

For context:

Strickler got a bit carried away while talking about his beloved history of Rome and Barb stopped him to actually process all of it but ofc he gets a bit insecured about annoying her and she reassures him that she likes it. :)

Ofc again with both line arts.

So I loved this chapter and I wanted to do a fanart of this fic anyway buuuuut I never actually found a scene because ALL OF THEM are so good.

And THIS. THIS GOD DAMN SCENE. I couldn’t stop myself. I had to draw it. Soooo I did it. The picture of it was just so clear burned into my mind and I ofc decided to use my whole motivation of living today for this drawing because I was too obsessed with 2 sentences.

And ofc without text even tho it isn’t much of it:

I ACTUALLY DRAW A BACKGROUND! Well I used the scene in the show to actually do it right but I drew it-

And I they even have a reflection in the window...yeah!...right?... :(

Barbs smile is maybe a bit over the top-

#toa strickler #walter strickler #trollhunters #barbara lake #stricklander #strickler #waltolomew stricklander #stricklake #toa trollhunters #trollhunter!strickler #And they got coffee to go because they left veeeeeery fast because Strickler is an idiot and forgot his important meeting with a teacher #I love them #he is so unsure #Strickler realizeing that barb likes to listen to his veeeeeeeeeery long history talk #pls I can’t get over them- #I also have to other drawings for this week-

she’d love this album tbvh

#this is kinda messy but idc :’))) #the last unicorn #the last unicorn fanart #my art :’)) #i love her smmmmm #when this movie was on TV on Christmas eve(based btw) i was literally constantly going crazy over her character design #shoutout to my dad for listening 2 me talk about how beautiful she is lmaooo #alsoooo if u haven’t listened 2 magdalena bay pls check them out if u f/w this song #(their album mercurial world is immaculate)

[wherewolf]

i fundamentally do not understand or relate to ppl who won’t go out of their way to show kindness to an animal. so u lose a bit of time and consume a bit of energy but in return actively improve the life of a living breathing creation and therefore the world around u??? i’ll make that trade any day

#🐺 #does this make sense #like yeah maybe i don’t rly want to sit on the floor and move a string around for my cats for an hour #but i know it will make them happy and they’ll feel like i listened to them #or maybe i’m in the middle of a movie and a cat decides they rly need my full attention right then #i’m pausing the fucking movie #when the kittens got fixed i followed them around all day and watched them so they could go without wearing their cones as much as possible #because they were miserable and confused #there’s something so gross to me about ppl who actively refuse to listen to their pets communication #anyway i just needed to write that down #not that everyone needs to go to the lengths i go to cause ngl i’m kinda crazy #but like…. LOVE THEM LISTEN TO THEM PLS

[knowlesian]

the clever way they set up izzy the unreliable narrator is just… such good writing

i started making a complete list of “things other people agree izzy is good at” and “things only izzy says he’s good at” for brain distractions and on that first list is swordfighting

the second list is …everything else, i truly do find this little fucker so fun on a narrative level. he’s the textbook unreliable narrator: literally everything he says ends up directly contradicted by the people in question or the action, but he swaggers around yelling his version of events loudest! (and weirdest, lmfao.)

and honestly on a deeper level it makes us as an audience look at how we process things people tell us vs things people show us, and how those are often very much at odds.

the writing on this show is ridiculously good, you know? 

#jackie’s hilarious “jesus christ this idiot” face is so amazing sidenote #everything about jackie is peak entertainment #also seriously i love how they set this up #its so easy to just listen to izzy and fill in the blanks he tells us to fill in #he’s a loud confident white guy! we love to associate all those traits with logic and truth and power and natural skill #and then you have fang and ivan and ed and jackie like “yeah nah it’s uh. look we all just sort of accept he lives in his own narrative” #ofmd spoilers #the way this show begs for textual analysis is PERFECT #(well confident in these matters l o l @ his general mental health and self concept) #izzy hands go to fucking therapy in s2 challenge #but also pls stay suspended in amber in this weird little state you are in #it pleases me #i want to poke at your various components and ask them: why? #why’d you do it like that why’s it so weird why is con why is anything??? #like. seriously. he is a feast for my weird id and my think-y brain thoughts #A FEAST TRULY A SONUVABITCH A WONDER AN IDIOT A FUCKIN …SCRUFFY LITTLE NIGHTMARE I LOVE GI #…him no i will not retype that insane sentence fuck that i do what i want #anyway he is. so dumb. so fun. so sad. so terrible??? #a true pickle jar denizen if i ever saw one #ATE.

#realistically i knw that if i went thru with making animatics for all of these songs I think my hand would fall off BUT. i have brainrot #half of these songs are either here bc of the vibe or because i listened to the lyrics and read analyses and put 2 much effort than i had t #ALSO LISTEN. LISTEN BODYBAG IS EXACTLY EVERYTHING I IMAGINE WHENEVER I THINK OF WUKONG AND MACAQUES RELATIONSHIP OK #two birds and baby hotline is also kind of self explanatory. although most of the jack stauber songs are mostly for vibe #bitter water is a very specific flavor of pining / unhealthy outlook. kind of has like an insatiable vibe to it but idk how to name it #i want soap to be a healing song but maybe im just being optimistic. im here for the vibes although i feel like if swk and macaque were #actually to make up i think they would go into it kicking and screaming. and im frustrated because i cant find a song to match that #except maybe bodybag which AGAIN.

Guns for hands except its blades for hands and I have no one to go outside with because they don't understand and I can't explain it. Yes I let my work pile up until it chokes me and my teachers hate me. No I can't stop doing it no matter how much I try. Yes I keep cvtting despite saying I'll stop and I'll try this time. No I don't think I can stop and I don't think I want to. Yes this is a terrible cycle I need to grit my teeth and break but no, I won't do that, because it's too hard and I'd rather keep drowning, thanks, I'm used to it so really, what's one more bad grade or one more scar? What's one more failure? What's ones more mess? What's one to the hundreds that have happened before? What am I to the other people who are actually struggling? Yes I cope terribly but I cope. I'm not sick. There's nothing wrong with me except I'm lazy and angry and I cvt and really, that's just me being a bad person so is there even any point trying? I'm so tired of trying. I know everyone else is tired of me trying too. They don't know how hard it is because they stopped. They broke their cycles. They've already left me behind and they don't even realise it.

#sh vent #cvtaddict #s3lf harn #sh cvt #styr0blr #sometimes being self-aware does absolutely nothing #yes i know my problems and why i have them but guess what #i still have them #and they're not getting any better #also i love twenty one pilots but i dont listen to them much anymore and guns for hands is one of their songs go listen to it pls and thx

there is genuinely something so gut-wrenching in how lovers in art are depicted as an enmeshing of some sort, wherein bodies are conjoined and pulled together so neatly and thoroughly the only barrier remains is the actual physical concatenation of flesh and bones. but even then they still try; they still entangle themselves as though the barrier is only ever an open, gaping wound they can knit themselves over and over again. the 'i am you & you are me & i will continue to force ourselves together until we are one' & the greek mythos of 'having been born as one entity forced to exist apart' conceptualized in such a raw and tender vigor to a point that the body, whether one's own or another, is depicted as a mere object an individual is cathected to. will dissolve into. will homogenize with. while love is argued metaphysically it will and can be concretized by a kiss; a tangle of limbs; a hand hold; a light-feather touch. & still, in this case, this is not enough--as love, furthermore, is monstrous in its hunger, is desperate in its want, is violent in its need--henceforth the longing becomes sinister until all that's left is a coalesced, form of mass. & still there is love.

my most favorite depictions of this:

it's sort of rough in their grasps, yet the innate tenderness emphasizes the craving, in pulling together each others head and limbs inwards one another. they're in one piece. ang kiukok's works are my absolute favorite.

and nicoletta caravia's more somber but softer works, that the need to be one, the need to be together beyond each other is captured in a gentle, but tight embrace.

got tagged by @inloif to answer some questions about my fav kpop group.

tw: child abuse; very brief mention of it in one of the questions

♡: Who is your favorite KPop group?

infinite 💛♾️

♡: Which member sparked your interest first?

hoya

♡: Who was your first bias?

hoya

♡: Who is your current bias?

hoya is always number one in my heart, despite him leaving the group in 2017 🥲 dongwoo and sungyeol are my tied for my faves after him

♡: What makes them your current bias?

hoya caught my attention from the beginning lol because back in 2011(!) i saw a gif or pic of him here on tumblr and thought that he was yunho from dbsk but then could not find it again, and for awhile i could not figure out who it was so this mystery was stuck in my mind until i finally figured out it was him. aside from his looks, i really liked his personality too lol hard work, ambition, earnesty and a biting wit are qualities that i admire in people even rn and hoya had that in spades. his perseverance in his journey to becoming an idol was very inspiring and moving to me (tw: child abuse, the tl;dr of it was that he wanted to pursue dancing and becoming an idol when in high school and ended up dropping out and leaving home after he had a physical altercation w his dad when they had an argument about his career goals. so he was basically homeless for awhile before he got accepted as a trainee. he also was told initially he wouldn't be able to debut due to having a stutter and then he basically trained himself out of it in a very short period of time without any professional help). he was also the ace of the group, even though dancing was (and still is) his passion, he also was a decent singer and rapper and actor (at least in reply 1997 lol, idk about his other roles. also his role in reply 1997 is literally revolutionary lol i won't say why bc spoilers but i recommend watching it if you like kdramas! he plays kang junhee)

♡: Who is your bias wrecker?

hm ig like i said above, dongwoo and sungyeol. both of them are genuine, earnest and funny in different ways

♡: Which member (s) are you currently obsessing over that aren’t your bias/bias wrecker?

i wouldn't say i'm obsessing over him lol but sunggyu has climbed up the list in the past year or so

♡: When did you first discover this group?

in 2010, when they debuted. 2010 was a time where you could easily know and keep track of everyone who was debuting when it was announced (which is wild to think about how different it is now and how the industry has become so saturated), but they also caught attention because they were being mentored by epik high who were and still are a pretty well known k-hiphop trio. i didn't become interested in them until 2011 though, because i didn't like the song they debuted with

♡: Have you ever been to one of their concerts?

yes, i've been twice. i had to look up the dates because it's been so long lol but the first time was in 2013 and the second time was 2016. honestly one of the best memories of my life

♡: What are some of your favorite songs by the group?

btd, tic toc, julia, paradise, the chaser, destiny, bad, i hate

#about me #infinite #tw: child abuse #didn't tag anyone bc idk who the other kpoppies that are following me are...pls reveal yourselves to me if you are out there 🙏 #but anyways. i contemplated talking about exo or wayv for this bc i think they're more well known/recent but ifnt is number one in my heart #forever and ever. also criminally underrated so i have to prop them up whenever i get the chance to #their over the top repackaged album is possibly my favourite album of all time. definitely my fav kpop album. go listen if you haven't!! #also hoya is the one wearing a skirt in the destiny mv. it was an awakening and i still love it when men wear skirts to this day

[ID: The title panel for 'The Bat-man' and 'The Case of the Chemical Syndicate'. In it, a mysterious silhouette is standing on a rooftop as they look out at the skyscrapers in the background. The silhouette has giant wings that resembles a bat! They flare out on each side of the figure as their human-esque legs and head stick out from it. The sky is light blue as the narration explains: The "Bat-man", a mysterious and adventurous figure fighting for righteousness and apprehending the wrongdoer, in his lone battle against the evil forces of society… His identity remains unknown.

detective comics #27 | (#627 reprint)

(full comic & ID below cut!)

[ID:

We see a young man sitting in a blue chair and smoking a pipe as an older man sits across from him. The narration reads: The home of Commissioner Gordon, who at the moment is entertaining his young socialite friend, Bruce Wayne. — Bruce is wearing an amber, windowpane checked suit and has his black hair neatly combed back. Gordon, the older man with silver hair and glasses, wears a white suit with black lines forming a herringbone pattern across it. Bruce has his chin resting against his palm in boredom as he asks, "Well, commissioner, anything exciting happening these days?" Gordon responds, "No-o – except this fellow they call the 'Bat-man' puzzles me!" He's interrupted by his phone ringing.

Gordon talks into the phone, "Hello… What's that? Lambert, The Chemical King… Stabbed to death? His son's finger prints on the knife? – I'll be right over!" He hangs up the phone and tells Bruce, "Talk about something exciting… Old Lambert has been murdered at his mansion… I'm going there now. Like to come along?" Bruce nonchalantly says, "Oh well, nothing else to do, might as well." They speed off to Lambert's residence, where they greet the police sergeant. He leads them to the scene of the crime and after a thorough examination, Gordon begins to talk to the murder suspect: 'Young' Lambert, who's already insisting that he wasn't the one that killed his father!

Gordon orders the distressed man to calm down and explain what happened. Young Lambert wipes at his forehead nervously as he reluctantly elucidates, "Well sir… Tonight I came home early, and as I was passing the library I heard a groan... I rushed in and there was my father lying on the floor, with a knife in him! … And as I rushed in, I got the impression of something leaping out of the window… I also noticed that father's safe was opened… I pulled the knife out of my father's body, and turned him toward me just in time to hear him say 'contract'... And then he died. That's how I got my fingerprints on the knife… That's the truth, commissioner!" Two panels accompany Young Lambert's words. It shows him finding his father's body by the open window before cradling his father close to him. 'Old' Lambert vaguely warns his son about the contract before dying in his arms.

Gordon raises his hand to his chin in thought before asking, "Hmm! Did your dad have any enemies or people who had an interest in his business activities?" The man hesitantly answers, "... not that I know of, except his three former business partners... Let's see, they were Steven Crane, Paul Rogers and Alfred Stryker." Before Gordon can continue to question him, he's interrupted by another cop. He's alerted, "Commissioner, there's a man named Steve Crane who wants to speak to Old Lambert... When I told him that Old Lambert was murdered he got very excited and wanted to speak to you!"

Gordon takes the phone and asks what's the trouble. Crane hastily explains, "Yesterday, Mr. Lambert called and told me he received an anonymous threat on his life... today I received the same... That's why I called up... and I'm afraid I'll be next... what shall I do?" Gordon orders, "Wait… And do not let anybody in… We'll be over soon as we can – what's that, Bruce?" He hangs up as Bruce Wayne's actions distract him. Bruce – who's been silently observing this whole time – smacks his tobacco pipe against his open palm, dumping the ashes onto the floor of the crime scene. He apathetically announces, "Ho hum! I'll leave you here to finish your work… I'm going home."

Meanwhile, Crane sits in his home library with a feeling of impending danger as he waits… Before a gunman suddenly breaks in! He shoots Crane dead without hesitation before stealing a paper from his safe and leaving through the window! He joins his partner on the roof, who checks if the murderer got the paper. The narration reads: ... As the two men leer over their conquest, they do not notice a third menacing figure standing behind them… It is the "Bat-Man!" — The cowardly criminals recoil in shock at the masked man. He wears a cowl that conceals the top half of his face and has bat like ears sticking out. His arms are crossed as he broadly stands with his legs spread. On his chest is a bat emblem and he has a big, dramatic cape draped from his shoulders that flare out – it too resembling a bat.

But suddenly the Bat-Man punches the accompanying partner, knocking him unconscious! He grabs the murderer in a headlock and with a mighty heave, he sends the burly criminal flying through the air and off the roof! Commissioner Gordon and his men are just arriving at the scene – the commissioner announcing it's the Bat-Man and to 'get him', prompting the other cops to start firing at the mysterious stranger! The Bat-Man flees from the scene at once, but not before quickly snatching the paper the criminals stole from Crane's safe!

He escapes to his red sedan and reads the paper he took from the killers before a grim smile stretches across his lips. He speeds off to an unknown destination! During which, the butler informs Gordon and his men that Crane has been murdered. Gordon tells another cop, "That's two dead partners out of the four that received threatening notes. The other two must have received them too… Let's go to Rogers next!"

Meanwhile Rogers, who has learned of Lambert's death by news broadcast, has already gone to the neighboring laboratory of his erstwhile partner, Alfred Stryker… — Rogers greets Stryker's assistant, Jennings. Jennings invites the distraught man inside before clubbing him in the head and tying him up in the laboratory's basement! Jennings schemes to himself, "Heh! Heh! One more out of the way – soon I'll control everything!"

Rogers wakes to find himself in a trap and calls Jennings a fiend! Jennings laughs again as he taunts, "This is the gas-chamber I use to kill guinea pigs, to experiment with – but now you are my guinea pig! When the glass lid covers you entirely, gas will come through the jet and kill you! I'm going down now to turn the gas on… Sleep well!" he leaves with one last giggle and with a pull of the brake to cause the glass chamber to start to descend!

But at that very moment, the Bat-Man jumps through an open transom! He seizes a wrench from a table and leaps for the gas-chamber, barely managing to get inside before it seals itself against the floor! Swiftly, the Bat-Man plugs the gas jet with a handkerchief. He unties Rogers and with a powerful swing, he uses the wrench to break the glass!

Jennings returns and is startled at seeing the Bat-Man! He reaches for his gun but the masked vigilante 'greets' him with a flying tackle and punch, knocking the murderous assistant unconscious!

Meanwhile, Stryker has heard the crash of the gas-chamber being broken. He enters the laboratory and finds Rogers and his assistant, failing to notice the Bat-Man has secluded himself in the shadows. Rogers exclaims that Stryker's assistant tried to kill him! Stryker responds, "So he didn't get you after all… Well, I'll finish you and then throw your body in the acid tank below." He pulls a knife and goes to attack Rogers before the Bat-Man springs into action!

He grabs Stryker's hand harshly, forcing him to drop the knife in shock! Rogers asks the masked man why did Stryker try to kill him as the Bat-Man holds the would-be murderer by his collar to prevent his escape. He explains, "This rat was behind the murders! You see, I learned that you, Lambert, Crane, and Stryker were once partners in the Apex Chemical Corporation. Stryker, who wished to be sole owner, but having no ready cash made secret contracts with you, to pay a certain sum of money each year until he owned the business. He figured by killing you and stealing the contracts, he wouldn't have to pay this money."

Rogers can't help but to admire, "Hmm, a very clever scheme, and being the contracts were a strict secret between the four of us, our heirs or the outside world wouldn't know a thing about them… But how did you know all this?" The Bat-Man pulls a rolled up piece of paper out of nowhere before simply stating, "I secured this contract from one of his hired killers."

Suddenly, Stryker, with the strength of a madman, tears himself free from the grasp of the Bat-Man… — He shoves himself away in an attempted escape but the Bat-Man knocks him off-balance with a right hook punch to the man's face! He stumbles backwards and crashes through the flimsy railing, falling into the tank of acid. Bat-Man solemnly remarks that it's 'a fitting ending for his kind'. Rogers turns to the mysterious man, starting to ask how could he ever thank him, but the Bat-Man is already fleeing by the skylight window.

The next day, young Bruce Wayne is again a visitor at the commissioner's house… Who has just finished telling Bruce the latest exploits of the "Bat-Man". — Bruce is skeptical of the story, telling Gordon, "Hmm! A very lovely fairy-tale, commissioner, indeed." After Bruce departs, the commissioner mumbles to himself, "Bruce Wayne is a nice young chap – but he certainly must lead a boring life… Seems disinterested in everything."

Bruce returns to his home and goes to his bedroom. A short while later, the door slowly opens, revealing to us Bruce Wayne's greatest secret and something that would surely amaze all… That he himself is the Bat-Man!
