I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

#tumblr polls #hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today #still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual #They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully #it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec #fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since #I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm #ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos #or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things #I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming #over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY #I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb #e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about #different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see #stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I #can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud.. #but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone #said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects #the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ

.

#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so! #it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat #Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case #I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does #I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature #and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame #I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing #sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird #but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work #and how they shape things they come in contact with #in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character #and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know #answered #kachavashka #Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name #I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

digging into the little avatars that some riders have.... all of them are so cute and representative of their riders... im only gonna talk about a few here but i might add more later !

vale: cartoony turtle. the first to do this as far as i can tell! originated from a toy turtle (i think a teenage mutant ninja turtle lmao) that his mom gave him as a kid that he mounted on his helmet. classiccccc vale, very ironic and tongue-in-cheek, tattooed on his body in the funniest place possible, and of course the joke relies on the audience knowing that he's the fastest dude in the room ! very in-character choices all

marc: fire ant. he said i am tiny. he said i am SMALL. he said i am fierce and strong for my size... not a classically fierce choice but nonetheless makes a lot of sense to me ! also very funny that the intial design for the ant was made by vale's helmet guy, though i think he's moved towards the sharper design in recent years post-divorce and the legal stuff with its image rights... fun post about marc choosing it as his mascot by @frongsonabike here (also a very deeply catalan choice, according to @babynflames !)

bez: scorpion !!!!! this man is undeniably keyed into astrology lmao. hes a scorpio and he LOVESSSS IT. absolutely fascinating implications for his character on that, considering scorpios are a sign that catches a lot of flack. like. he looked at a list of scorpio traits and said omg me fr i need to convert this into a branding opportunity...

cele. the WAVEEE literally iconic to me. fits him SO well imo. serene. immutable. undeniably and probably unintentionally hilarious when used as punctuation. my favorite of these in the graphic design sense and i love that he changed FUCK ALL about it design-wise when he moved to KTM. also very cute that the 13 on his bike looks like the bottom of a pool!

fabio. el diablo !!! very fun considering i think hes the biggest lover boy on the grid but hes also FASTTT so i get it, its baddass etc. i DO think he would prefer the devil emoji on instagram to be red but that has been cruelly denied from him by apple.

#theres more... i think its fun that enea's is a more amorphous 'beast' character... #jorge lorenzo CLEARLY working through some masculinity issues with the spartan (gay ass...) and dani as a honda boy with the samurai... #i think its fun! #and also interesting when you consider who DOESNT have a mascot or like. really complicated helmet designs... #like luca or alex. or people who have developed the artistic stuff as theyve grown older like pecco. #his helmet is wayyy more complex this year its NEAT #motogp #callie speaks

Au idea I'll probably never write:

Steve as seven au, BUT he escapes at the same time as El in season 1. They get separated after Benny's, when seven tells eleven to run and definitely kills a couple government agents to give her more time.

So the a plot of will being missing and Mike finding El? Standard canon except El is ALSO looking for her brother and is worried about him. She sees that he's mostly safe and tries to help find will but also insists she go to her brother soon.

B plot of barb and Nancy...idk I haven't really thought about how that'd work without Steve's kickback. Maybe they go to a party (like actual party not the five person hangout) together and get separated and no one notices barb disappear from the edge of the lawn. Idk

The C plot is seven, kinda bloody and definitely cold, wandering out into the middle of the street, and one Robin Buckley almost running him over with her bike. She immediately clocks "guy who seems pretty fucked up" about him, and offers him a ride to her house. But Robin has never been the most coordinated of people and biking with a(admittedly probably too skinny) teenage boy sitting in her package rack is hard, and combine that with a guy driving like the devil's after him, they end up swerving of the road.

Eddie steps out, apologizes profusely, and offers them a ride. seven is sceptical, especially when both of them pause when he tells them his name, but does end up in the van. He finally gets a chance to breathe once they get to the Buckleys', and Robin gets him some leftovers.

He sits in front of the tv set to a blank station, tucks his head into his shirt instead of blindfolds, and tries to see El.

He sees her older, with flowers braided through long hair, laughing. Too far. He sees her with short curls, a patterned button down, eating something in a cone beside a mustachioed man. Too far again. He sees her tiny, scared, holding his own small hand. Not far enough.

Finally, finally, he sees her as she knows her now, mostly, standing beside a group of children and in front of a monster in a large room.

Eddie and Robin have no idea why their new friend? Has turned the tv on to static and is hiding in his shirt, but figure he's had a rough day. He pops his head back out, blood dripping from his nose, and grins, telling them he knows where his sister will be.

Anyways blah blah blah El sees where people ARE Steve sees where people have been/will be (based on where/who they are right now. Futura is constantly in motion etc).

Idk season 2 would happen very similar as canon minus stancy break up (they never date and are just friends) (also Steve tells Robin and Eddie he and El are safe and they pass it on to the kids) El finds Kali, Steve fights demodogs, etc etc.

But I want a (pre?) season 3 scene where Robin and Steve are hanging out as soulmates do, door closed because they are discussing Sensitive Subjects (gay shit) and giggling like schoolgirls. Hopper, in all his disappointed dad glory, opens the door and starts in on a rant about keeping the door open three inches.

Steve, bitch that he is, just tilts his head to the side and says "but that is for when we are with people we date. I am not dating Robin."

Hopper, not yet picking up what's happening, sighs. "Kid. It's about propriety. You can't be alone with Robin, because what if you do start dating. Then it's. You have to set an example for El!"(it would be a nice move bringing up Older Brother Responsibility, except...well.)

"but we aren't. I am dating someone else?"

"still need the door open three inches, pal. When El is home, at least"(El is almost always home)

"we do! And you complain about the loud music!"

"wait. Who are you dating? I thought Nancy was dating Jonathan still. She barely comes over." Hopper please pick up what Steve is putting down oh my god.

(hop has forgotten Robin is there and she is trying very hard not to make noise but Steve keeps meeting her eye sometimes because dear god. truly an iconic moment in friendship history.)

"yeah obviously. Eddie comes over all the time, though."

"what does Ed- oooh. Ah. I see. That's why you keep the door open even though he complains."

Steve nods like Hopper is the dumbest man on the planet. He might just be. "Yes. Because you said El had to and she asked why I didn't have to so then I started to leave it open when Eddie was over. At least Eddie doesn't laugh at you to your face"

"Eddie laughs behind my back?"

"he said you didn't know we were dating but I told him of course you knew, the door is open three inches."

Hopper clasps Steve's shoulders and looks him in the eye. "Steve, I need you to keep telling him that. And not mention this very awkward conversation we had."

"because he was right."

"he doesn't need to know that."

That's all I got lmao (also check the tag ramble I added lol)

bengali!jon introducing martin to the poetry of rabindranath and kazi nazrul islam. he himself isn't really interested in poetry of course, and Jon finds them quite frankly, a bit boring (me. but I have matured and understood that they are actually genuinely very good and the only reason i couldn't appreciate it was because i had to write Essays about them in 1st grade) but he figures martin might like them because he's a poet and all. now, martin can understand a bit of bengali and jon's there to help and there's the translated versions, so he gives it a shot and reads them all. he loves them all, you can see him carry around the gitanjali book and he quotes all the more romantic lines to jon. i just know martin would love ami chini go chini tomare (i know, I know you — basically a song about knowing your lover well and lamenting about their presence in every part of their life) by rabindranath tagore and tomar holo shuru amar holo sara (i start, you end — pretty obvious, a song about eternal love.)

#the magnus archives #jonmartin #jmart #tma headcanons #jmart fluff #jon likes the songs better — he can still remember his grandmother playing those old songs #thinking about how my culture and my country's literature is actually pretty neat. #for some reason on the topic of bengali literature #I feel like tim would like abol tabol by shukumar rai #it's basically a collection of nonsensical poems where silly stuff happen but it's really good and it slaps hard for some reason

Spencer definitely forged his parent’s signature as a child for permission slips just so he wouldn’t be the only one who couldn’t go on the field trip.

#criminal minds #spencer reid #plus he just looks like the type of person who would do it #I like to think that Spencer had very nice handwriting obviously if he’s on a case #and has to write a bunch of stuff down really fast then it looks like shit but otherwise very nice and neat #HANDWRITTEN LETTERS AND NOTES TO MAEVE #IN CURSEVE

I love that there's one half of people who think Ridley should be this terrifying dragon demon who antagonizes Samus and moves quicker than lightning and that Dark Samus should be this strange organic being with hardly more than a skull who will stop at nothing to have her dead and then there's the other half with Goth Girl and Pathetic Pterodactyl.

#and I'm sitting just outside enjoying both #i personally prefer scary sadistic ridley who calls samus names and remembers exactly what he did #but i also like stupid bird who tries to flee through a closed window and doesn't notice the wide open door right there #I'm not like the biggest metroid fan but my brother is and I've always admired it. so I'm slowly but surely learning and being drawn in #like i love the lore stuff (even if i really only know the basics) but the actual gameplay has just never been for me #metroid #samus aran #Old Bird to samus: little bird (affectionate) Ridley: little bird (derogatory) #metroid samus #ridley metroid #dark samus #i just think it's neat

i actually really like how the raven king is written, like the ordinaryness of the action 'as a parent who cleans something from a child's face'. it's such a good piece of description work

#i think there's something really neat about how the raven king it so built up when people talk about him but when he actually 'appears' #it's stuff like this or like childermass thinking he looked unfashionably like a metjodist preacher or his drinking a cup of milk #on the ground in front of the king. like he's incredibly magical & mysterious but it's actually in a really grounded real sort of way #it sort of goes along w the idea that magic is in the landscape & people etc it's a very ordinary bodily sort of thing more that something. #idk. intellectual or spiritual #if that makes sense #thoughts #jonathan strange and mr norrell

I get so much joy from hearing Scar talk about how Scarland is a roundabout way of him getting to do his dream job after his health kind of made it impossible to pursue the real-life version of it. Like, it's funny how things can end up working out differently than you expect like that.

You can just tell from the knowledge he has on how theme parks work (mainly Disney but still) and the behind the scenes stuff, plus how much thought and detail he puts into each element he builds, just how much he's enjoying making Scarland and idk it's just very cool to get to see

#I think his enthusiasm for Scarland is like half of why it's my favorite base #Like even if he just thought a theme park would be cool and decided to build it just for that #it'd still probably be a really neat build #but all the fun facts and background stuff he knows about theme parks #and the excitement toward all these little details he gets to add and talk about #just makes it SO much fun #You know? #goodtimeswithscar #hermitcraft #lee speaks

Hi, would it be ok with you to make little plushes of Machete and Vasco (just for myself)? I crochet, and I love them so much, I'd love to have little stuffies of them to take on adventures, smush their lil faces together, or tuck into bed, but I don't want to do so without your permission first. I know you're cool with fanart mostly, but I can see how bringing them into the physical realm could be different!

Sure, I can see how that might be fun! Send me a picture or two if you end up making them, I'd love to see.

#I've seen physical tangible fan art of them before I think that's always very neat #stuff like that takes a lot of time and skill to make #thank you for asking for my permission first I really appreciate it #just treat them nicely they are my special little guys #answered #mywillbedone

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR BATMAN AND ROBIN (2023) FANS!!!...he eat a burger [ID in alt]

(taken from Nicola Cizmesija's insta, who's on art for B&R issues #5 and #6)

#ramblings of a lunatic #batman and robin #damian wayne #dc comics #''ladel are you gonna get obsessive about the character again and hunt down any and all official art of them-'' no what makes u say that #nikola cizmesija was the artist on the recent red hood gotham wars tie-ins btw! same colourist as those issues too #...idk how much dc tumblr is actually in to the production side of comics. i know i am but i have a feeling that's not universal #anyway i actually really like to know the individual artists colourists and inkers on stuff if i can it's fun! #anyway i quite liked the art in those red hood issues so i am :] excited for issues 5 and 6! #there was also a cover(?) defs done by cizmesija that has damian and bruce in like underwater batsuits? like they're wet suits #and they're fighting orca on it! and cizmesija mentioned getting to design new suits so! it seems like we're getting an underwater adventure #for that arc at least! the writer joshua williamson said that he's trying to focus the structure more around shorter arcs this time #so it seems like in the shorter breather arcs we might get little artist changes to break it up?? neat imo #i like a book w consistent art if I'm really vibing w the art but i get that a lot of ppl have mixed feelings on di meos art for b&r #so I'm interested to see what the reception will be to cizmesijas when it comes out in...i think January? same month as the annual #i saw a solicit that said the art for the annual was by Howard Porter but i could be wrong #god this got way off track. ANYWAY! he eat a burger #(also williamson has said before that damians a vegetarian so I'm assuming it's a veggie burger)

i started a pinterest board for gortash aesthetic stuff and was inspired to play around with a better outfit for him. the main dress reference i believe was made for an opera that takes place in the 1500s and i feel like the big, regal, extravagant presence is way better and more in line with his character stuff. also i saw these cool regal finger prosthetics and thought it would be neat if the gauntlets were prosthetics cause he lost some fingers while living (being constantly tortured) in the house of hope as a kid.

i feel like the huge dress also works not only bc of like, power and domination and looking like the most important person in the room, but also the slight ridiculousness of the poofiness and stuff fits in line with his immaturity and how he acts quite young as a result of, yknow, spending his childhood in the HoH after his parents sold him to raphael and whatnot, and him really not belonging in this place of power. also someone who used to be a poor kid and now being in a space of nobility but wanting to separate from the nobles because he hates the upper class and also wants to be worse than them as a result lmao? i just think character wise this is very in line with his backstory. plus he'd just look really good in it tbh. i just think it would look really really cool.

i also think the aesthetic of the big regal dramatic dress and huge puff sleeves would be a really fun contrast to the steel watch stuff, especially his big robo suit or whatever (god i wish that design was better). especially with how like some of his body is replaced by the armor and whatnot, imagine these big rips in these layers of skirts mingled with parts of him that are now steel rather than flesh, the delicate drama of one sleeved arm and the other arm no longer being an arm but a metal piece of weaponry, removing that which is human in order to be more powerful, etc etc etc...

i might work on details a bit more but im not a huge fan of doing like really big detailed pieces so ill just gaze at my pinterest board and feel the tears roll down my cheeks as i think about what could've been...

#yeah i think hes attractive but also i genuinely love his storyline and the creepy steel watch stuff. theres soooo much potential #its just really interesting and neat to me . his stuff is the closest we get to like horror in this game which is why its my fav stuff lol #as in the steel watch foundry and stuff. the music in there is so cool.. ambient melancholy and horror #the crafts of a man who never should have been here in the first place . the result of a boy playing with his robot toys #also not to mention all the dragon iconography with the steel watch when u think abt dragonborn durge??? theres so much i just love it #this game wouldve been so much better if they leaned in the creepiness and fucked-up-ness rather than hiding it in little corners as to #make it more appealing to a general audience #anyways #lord enver gortash #enver gortash #bg3 #my art #my drawings #bg3 spoilers
