#I’ll figure it out when the time comes

[driftingballoons]

the treacherous grinding session I went through in BW2 suddenly starts to make a little more sense :)

#Serperior #original art #And it only took 12 years to figure it out #I mean COME ON man #angery #So I had something of a challenging time in BW2 #Where for the longest time I just couldn’t use snivy #Bc for SOME REASON I couldn’t get him to beat an opponent without fainting #but no wonder the opponent wouldn’t faint bc there was NO ATTACK POWER #furiously booting up the ds to check and all along it has THIS as a personality #But thank god it’s dishing out nothing attacks FASTER than anyone else 😭😭 #Anyway when I learned abt the natures thing I had a sneaking suspicion that something was amiss #bc with the same starter/almost identical moveset I just had an AWFUL time in BW2 until I decided to grind like hell #also chump over here using mostly regular attack moves which can go as well as you’d imagine #I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again #i may be shit at battling

me trying to explain why i think mike is gay and is aware that he’s not in love with el cause he has feelings for someone else since atleast the end of season 3, but he also doesn’t know the feelings attached to the painting are will’s yet and he was consciously lying in the monologue by trying to follow what will told him in the van (giving el the courage to fight on by emphasizing her abilities as a superhero, something that makes her different and “better” apparently!) cause he thinks that’s the only way to save el...so the painting is a plot device for byler to get together (and mlvn bones cause it made mike misunderstand what el truly needed, leading to his words not being enough for el to win and save max in time) but not in the sense that mike fell in love with will’s feelings for him or the person behind the painting, just that it was used to show who’s always been the right person for mike based on compatibility and understanding and true unconditional love, and for him to realize that things aren’t hopeless and his feelings are requited once he finds out the full truth behind the painting cause without it he would’ve continued forcibly conforming due to societal expectations and pressure, and trapping himself in a loveless relationship because of his fear of losing el and hurting her

#so im finally coming out as a full fledged gay mike truther 🙏 #but there are certain things im not in agreement with when it comes to how gay mike truthers commonly perceive the narrative #like mike figuring out will in the van scene...cause i dont think hes there just yet #hes still too wrapped up in low self worth to ever comprehend that someone loves him the way will does #but i do agree that he’s self aware of his own feelings for will and has been struggling/dealing with it #i think s5 will reveal all his internal conflicts surround it #so i dont think hes gonna have a “feelings realization” in s5 but rather come to terms with/accept said feelings #the reason i believe this is bc if s5 is when he’ll figure out his own feelings #i dont think there would be enough time to depict his internal struggles/conflicts with it #as a lot of people have said...it would look like mike realizes hes in love with will then just #immediately jumps into a relationship with him without any internal struggles in between #i dont think thats what theyre trying to convey storytelling wise #i have more thoughts on why i believe in gay mike now but i still dont know how to piece them together in a coherent analysis yet #maybe i’ll post about it someday but for now take this 👍 #byler #byler analysis

As some of you might’ve seen: I’m no longer posting art on Twitter, so Tumblr is now the only social media I’ll be consistently posting art to. However: I’ll also be posting it to my website and possibly other social media platforms in the future.

I also post monthly sketch pages to my Patreon (April’s is on this post) with early access for Patrons, and I’m hoping to add more things to it soon!

Thanks everyone for your support (your tags mean a lot to me!) and I’ve put more of my thoughts in the tags.

#monsters #sketch #Patreon #Putting my thoughts here rather than in a read more so people don’t have to see it a lot: #Went on a vacation at the start of July and realised I’ve been ridiculously burnt out and didn’t realise #The stress of *trying* to have something ready for social media every other day was exhausting #I’m not the fastest artist out there so it takes time! I was really pushing out quick things #not progressing as an artist since I wasn’t practicing besides trying to be faster #So I’m shifting gears more now and doing things that aren’t art as hobbies #Learnt to make my website! Want to keep developing it too and making layouts for other people #Learning auslan (Aussie sign language) and having an amazing time! #mostly getting back into education since I really love learning things #haven’t been in a class for years and it’s been a big boost to my mental health #still have financial worries but not as badly now thankfully #Anyway I’ll probably be posting less art until I figure out what works for me #though less art is better than the NONE that happens when I’m exhausted and having a bad time #Hopefully I’ll start to really enjoy the process again and start getting more ideas #(ideas are so hard to come up with!)

[iknowwhereyousleepatnight]

Noo the ekg vote is loosing why must humanity be so cruel?? Let me see more sketchy funny doodles

it’s okay, if the lineless one wins i’ll make a separate thing for it bc sketchy is what i live for. besides, these are just for comms, i’ll still draw how i want for myself :3

#ask #thinkin if ppl really want a specific style that i haven’t priced then i’ll figure it out when it comes to it #lineless will get prices tho bc y’all really like it apparently. and i’ll do smth else for sketchy ig #damn this will be complicated but whatever. i got a couple weeks to figure it out #ok now i’m going to bed lmao #if anyone else has thoughts feel free to drop by my ask box i will answer in 10-12 hours <-sleepy time allowance

ITS BEEN A MONTH SINCE TLLR CHAPTER 11????? WHAT

#wyrms says stuff #SORRY ITS TAKING FOREVER TO WRITE HOLY SHIT??? #i thought it had been like 2 weeks or something #dude i’m actually sorry it’s taking so long to get chapters out #BUT like the next three chapters are all around 2/3 of the way done #i miss those phases where writing becomes sooooo so so easy for me and i write like 3k words a day #i’ve never been able to like stick with a writing schedule #my energy for writing comes and goes as it pleases and it’s been like that all my life. drawing comes naturally #it never bothered me before that i’d just not write for a few months at a time and then suddenly get motivation #to write a shit ton of stuff at once in rapid succession #and it sucks because forcing myself to sit down and write is hard it just doesn’t come super naturally like drawing does. #like forcing myself to draw can be a lot of fun and it’s easy. but honestly i don’t chose when my brain tells me it’s writing time #but that’s probably not a good thing huh #and also i’m like?? SUPER SUPER excited about some of the chapters coming up?? like chapter 14 is THE chapter i’ve been most excited about #since i started this series. AND ITS BASICALLY ALREADY WRITTEN TOO #the parts in between are hard to figure out i’ve realized #and also hard to give myself motivation to write them. im basically just annoyed that writing doesn’t come as naturally as art does for me #and that ever since i started actually writing about my own ocs like 6 years ago #i’ve only been able to write in short bursts of a few months at a time #it’s annoying but it’s a good challenge for me to overcome. i just have to sit down and write and then i’ll get that motivation back #the next chapter should be done very very soon!!!

sudden realisation that the thing holding my art back is that I never had an anime phase

#going to find a time machine and get my younger self into death note or smth #I have been driving myself insane for the past few years bc I wanna draw characters but all I know how to do is portraits #I’m trying to figure out how I could recreate smth similar now and tragically I think it does just come down to draw more :/ #however! I am also going to try using brushes which will be bad for sketchiness and better for lineart bc I might need to force myself here #I just gotta simplify things down to basic shapes how hard can it be #[has been thinking this exact thing for years and it’s not worked] #I am getting better every time I do stuff I’m just not satisfied bc art is frustrating when you know what you want but can’t get there #god it’s 2am I should not be awake rn but I could draw again tonight so I was taking advantage #endlessly frustrated by hair. why is it so awkward. I need to understand hair better how do I do this #i have a feeling it’s bc I’ve not figured out how to apply the shit I figured out abt volume yet #I’m also getting impatient bc I’ve been trying to do a study thing for some art styles but I decided I wanted to draw ocs instead of that #when I hadn’t gotten to the actually important bit which was. making smth new. but I can still do that #and I ended up doing a different style anyway (someone pls stop me rounding everything make me use high opacity square brush for my health) #the Other problem is I never wanna switch brushes. like I want to use one brush for whole drawing bc the extra clicks annoy me #I wonder if there’s a shortcut to swap brushes #anyway I’m gonna stop complaining bc drawing is fun but god I wish I’d drawn some more pokey mans when I was a teenager yknow #ideally younger. would rlly like to not have to actually think to figure this out rn #I’m probably overthinking stuff anyway honestly and I KNOW I’ll get it if I practice enough but goddamn it is hard to practice #especially when my me insists on making the bad things look better by making it more realistic #instead of figuring out why the shapes aren’t working #OKAY IM DONE WITH THIS NOW. GONNA TRY NEW ART THINGS LATER STOP TALKING <3 #luke.txt

[fuck-em-up-your-grace]

I NEED Zelda lore with good historical allegories PLEASE hire me Nintendo I would make so many good metaphorsssss

#I’ve had this fic idea in my head for literally months #since like December #the sheikah and the yiga and demise and hylia have no relevance to anyyyyy history guys haha #I mean. two large powers that have been involved in a cycle of hatred using their power to induce a proxy war to further their power? #while simultaneously harming said group by ripping it apart and then. with so much time passing the idea of reunification fading further. #until the people of that group learn to hate the other and to rely upon the powers that put them there? #huh Nintendo wonder what that could be about. #but Nintendo is a Japanese company and if you talk about that war then you gotta get into imperialism and. well… #and this is not even getting into THE GERUDO #I LOVE what the Gerudo could be SO MUCH. OH MY GOD. THE POTENTIAL. #but no. if Nintendo actually showed off cool Arab culture and stopped oversexualizing brown women people might think they’re not racist 🙄 #and we can’t have that #god I fucking love the concept of the Gerudo it’s so so so sooooo good you have no idea #I don’t have the time or energy required to write this but maybe I’ll come back in like a decade when I’ve got shit figured out and write it #anyways. I’m so normal about the Shiekah and the Gerudo. ha ha ha ha ha so so so normal #guys someone give me like a month where time stops I could write so much about settler colonialism* and the Hylians #(*I think settler colonialism paired with neo-colonialism and imperialism would be more interesting than the usual narrative of extractive #coloniaism. but also take that with a sea of salt cause no narrative surrounding colonization is really. mainstream.) #barebones of this fic idea is half-sheikah Zelda & Gerudo Shadow as foils for each other #w/ Zelda having the experience of like. 2nd gen E Asian immigrant assimilation & loss of cultural heritage while being raised in a white #society— with scraps of her textbooks and life showcasing the retelling of the colonization of the Gerudo. meanwhile Shadow is V aware of #his culture & history because Ganon’s main goal is to take control of the Hylian empire to make them pay for their past crimes #which manifests in Ganondorf being an abusive father who torments his own son because he believes it will make him strong enough to fight #against the Hylians. however surprise surprise abuse actually drives Shadow further away and he seeks refuge in Zelda & brings her books #on sheikah culture as a way to connect to her— through their shared ties to the Yiga… #and I have more but I think I’m gonna hit the tag limit and I’m rambling but like. SO MANY IDEAS #it works better visually I think though. so there’s that too. plus as aforementioned I do not have any of the things I need to write this #and it’s really important to me that it’s written well. so. that too. if I was gonna do this it would take forever with extra research &shit

Idk why I thought the new year would suddenly bring immense change to me as a person, it was such a childish belief, I can’t believe I let myself fall for it. The years go by but I remain the messed up anxious wreck who starts crying the second she’s left alone with her thoughts. The new year won’t change anything, nothing will

#just look at me #I could very possibly graduate from school in half a year and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life #I can’t take the slightest bit of criticism or else I’ll feel like shit for a week #I need to be staring at a screen at all hours of the day because if I don’t distract myself I will break down #I’m so obsessed with pleasing people that when I can’t fulfill the simplest of requests I want to die #indulging in hobbies. things that are supposed to be enjoyable. feels like hell for me #through all my years of creating there is only one piece I can honestly say I like and am proud of #and I haven’t even touched writing since because I’m scared of not being able to reach that high again #art comes a little easier but I’m only capable of one or two pieces a month #I don’t have anyone irl whom I trust. I’m so lonely that I literally have imaginary friends. at 17 #and I still haven’t figured out my gender or what pronouns I prefer. I don’t even like the name I picked for myself #I could go on forever #I don’t know how anyone puts up with me. I know I wouldn’t if I had the choice #I keep going on and on about how I want to get better. I don’t want to be so miserable all the time #but I just don’t know how #I try to be kinder with myself and I’ve been pretty successful at it but.. it doesn’t help #I can be soft and gentle all I want. it won’t make everything else go away #so there’s nothing left for me to do but cry all alone in my apartment at 2 a.m #I guess

[crowcryptid]

was planning on attempting to rip some ultrak1ll animations to make transparent gifs but I have a very tiny kitten sleeping on me so I guess im trapped here

I’ll try tomorrow

#when I first got gabes model a long ass time ago it came with his idle animation #idk how to get the others tho. id have to figure it out. #i want his gayass little dramatic scene from act II #I don’t think I’ll be able to get his attacks tho..? idk. since those involve weapon models #the animation might be fucked #I don’t know why his idle anim was even included I don’t remember how I did that lol #how many spelling variations can I come up with to prevent my post from appearing in the tag

“Genshin made up linguistics” brother cannot accept they were wrong and proven to be an ignorant English speaker.

i’m literally bilingual lmao?

(censored so they doesn’t appear in search)

and if you have an ounce of reading comprehension then you’ll see the distinction i made between ‘al-H*itham’ as real world naming and ‘Alh*itham’ as g*nshin naming

but alas people were already misinterpreting my first post when the only thing i ever mentioned in the initial post was “no one ever calls him this in canon and it’s jarring to read other characters referring to him as this and it always brings me back to reality immediately and it is my personal pet peeve” and ppl took it to mean “if you ever just call him H*itham then you’re wrong and incorrect” so what did i expect from tumblr reading comprehension

like you guys know you can write whatever you want right. you don’t need to defend your right to call him that you know that right. like it can be not canon and you can call him whatever you want

#like the thai g*nshin fandom calls him ‘phi tham’ (phi being an honorific) #reblogs off because i don’t want discourse #i’ll admit i was mistaken in the NOTES since i’ve only ever seen people call real world figured with the ‘al’ prefix WITH that prefix #no one in any paper or official capacity calls al-Haytham ‘Haytham’ as i’ve reiterated #but that literally does not change the fact that my original post was about how it was not canon #nowhere in the post did i say you ‘couldn’t’ write things that aren’t canon #it just said i personally did not like it #you’re the one going out of your way to come back to my blog to send anon messages why are you so pressed #also get off anon your respectability drops 90% when you argue with people behind anonymous #the next time you anon me i’m blocking you

i have to sleep but one last thing about the timeless video. there are literally only six seconds left to fill and frankly i’m all out i don’t know what i’m supposed to do with this six seconds. do i put beronica in it for the seventh time. seriously there are only like five movies in here that aren’t repeated at least once. do i need to let bbc merlin in. i was very pointedly keeping them out but now i kinda feel bad about it like they deserve to be here actually it’s a little mean that i excluded them except for just the one scene

#the problem is. if i don’t have a specific ass scene in mind i’ll have to just brave whatever comes up when i type this show into youtube #and i don’t have a #wait nvm the intergalactic dream team scene what about that #sorry i mean. season three episode 2. no one else thinks of that scene that way #well. i’ll figure that out tomorrow it’s pillow and blankie time! #beth.txt #actually i already changed my mind about that scene. need to sleep on this

the kpopification of ya novels needs to be studied

#is it me or have a bunch of K-pop Idol/k-drama actor ya romances popped up out of nowhere #like xoxo this time it’s real etc etc #i mean don’t get me wrong they’re not bad at all but where did they come from #for anyone who’s curious I’m reading once upon a kprom rn hehe #OMG #WHAT WAS THAT ONE BOOK AB THE JOURNALISM LEADERAND THE HOT GUY THAT BECOMES THE CHIEF JORNALIST AND THEN SHE FALLS FOR HIM #ugh that book was so good but my brain is lagging #when I figure it out I’ll tell u #personal

low key wanna like

set up a queue for posts i like that don’t circulate anymore so that way the recirculate but also i don’t spam but like

i don’t think i’ve ever used a queue before tbh lol

#listen i’ve always been the kind of blogger where you just know what i’m about when i’m about it #but since this is more of a fandom sidespace than my actual blog maybe that’s the better route? #cause there’s a lot of really good fanart and fanfics and analytical pieces that just #don’t get as much love since they got burried by time and i wanna bring them back to the forefront becuase they’re GOOD #and people put their heart and soul and time into them and i want them to be appreciated becuase i love them and they make me happy #but also i’ve hit post limit multiple times becuase if this blog and i’m scared it’ll happen again #cause i think you still hit it with the queue too #and like #i do actually use my main blog a log and the posts come from the same pool #(pro tip for new users btw if your side blogs are connected to your main account all your posts come from a pool that your account gets) #(kind of like a deck of cards that has to be distributed between all players) #ANYWAY it might be the better move for now #i’ll stew on that while i try and get myself out of writers block #cause i’ll need to get the first draft of peghawks2023 done this weekend if i want ot done in time for the 16th #need to figure out how to trick my brain into working #had this problem in school also #the only reason i passed is because most my teachers loved me and wanted me to succeed in spite of my executive dysfunction #and my other two teachers hated me so much (adhd kid with a pension to cause problems) that they passed me #just so they never had to see me again lmao #it’s okay feelings were mutual fuck those guys #(or love those guys for the teachers that adored me) #(hope they’re doing good) #what was i talking about #RIGHT queues and writing #yeah i should go do that okay bye for now!!!

anyways it annoys me when I look for trans resources in my province and all they show you is like the most basic info on different types of top surgery and hrt ect. Like I could look that shit up anywhere. I’m here for that location specific information

#like. I need a list of trans safe clinics or something. like come on we are in a transphopjc province I’m not coming out to my GP unless #I know she’s safe. #like. well. idk. I finally found 1 gender clinic so I’ll probably go there eventually. but thier site says they don’t actually do referrals #from there. but like. whatever. I’ll actually figure this shit out when I have more time. not right now.
