#It’s just the alignment of the fingers

[artunderwraps]

AND THE FINAL RESULT! The whole thing prolly took me like 2 - 2.5 hours to finish, from sketch to bg.

I made this for a friend and she really liked it so :DDD

#I REALLY like how this turne dout #I could 100 make it better #Like holy crap #The way he’s holding the knife? Yikes #Shoulda noticed that in the sketch phase lol #Also I don’t know if this is a weird thing to say but #In the og image #The way he’s holding the knife? #It’s just so cool #Idk why that thought came to me #It’s just the alignment of the fingers #Feels like he’s gonna do the thing where he holds the knife with his thumb #And then puts each finger on the knife one by one #Pinky to index #In a cool shot #Idk I’ve never watched any of the scream movies #Background was inspired by that one scene in the rise movvie #Raph getting impaled my beloved #Anyway slight apologies for having os many damn tags #Hope you all like it! :DDDD

oh hell yes the local scientific research organization finally has vacancies I maybe just so-so qualify for

#I have been refreshing their vacancy page for literal years lmao. no exaggeration since I was studying I was looking for internships #all fingers and toes crossed because it is really just so-so #but also apparently there are 3 posts and how many people are really actively into that? #I mean it probably pays less than industry and if you fully meet their requirements you can probably make a fuckton of money #hooopefully that gives me a win condition #eeeee #m #actually this is not quite true they have previously had vacancies I actually would qualify for but it was for the defense branch 💀 #I mean probably our military does approximately nothing irl but even so #alsoooo it is located in the same place as the uni I applied to so how beautiful would it be if all my stars aligned???

Oagh thinking trisona thoughts

#im still like cooking a design for him but like #ok i havent talked abt this but i f/o but vash and knives (separately) and i like to break my own heart right #its sand falling though ur fingers #and i keep thinking that like ultimately my guy is aligned with knives first and foremost (thats a key thing) #so like vashverse (thats what im calling it where he guns for vash instead of knives) its like hey check this out how tragic #could i possibly make this right #bc rosario (trisona; thats his name) will always put his loyalties to knives and the ghg before anything else #that includes vash #so every time they do come together its never set in stone when itll be the last #theyre just biding their time until the inevitable #double owie if you consider ww into the equation bc looks wise rosario and ww look eerily similar #so going off of like vashwood thats like so theres this guy that looks like ur dead bf hope that doesnt cause any problems #i think their involvement hinges on that loss being fresh too; a perfectly aligned coincidence #trying to fill a hole someone left behind with someone else #AGHHH they drive me crazy bc theyre always coming together like stars on course collision; always dancing around eachother never to fully #meet and when they do meet the mutually assured destruction of one of them is guaranteed #(listen all the ghgs DIE; rosario is no exception) #anyway go crazy go stupid its 3 am aaaa #its sand falling thru ur fingers #bird chirps.txt

Realizing I also inadvertently gave pouf my hEDS via headcanon bc:

- I think he's cold-blooded and can't regulate body temperature as a result -> I can't do that myself bc of my POTS (which I have due to my hEDS)

- I think he also supplements salt into his diet bc butterflies, especially swallowtails like himself, exhibit a behavior called "puddling" where they collect and sip up salt, typically from puddles of mud -> salt supplements are one of the most common treatments for POTS

- I think he also struggles with solid food bc butterflies and adult ants actually subsist entirely on liquids -> digestive issues are common with EDS and a liquid diet can help offset some symptoms

- I'm not even headcanoning his hypermobility, his body just looks like that:

#tbh.......... his body type is lowkey a little evocative of marfan's; tall and thin and the man's a violinist so probably long fingers too #but I'm clocking hEDS bc that's my health condition and ive accidentally perfectly aligned him to it #anyways. maybe I'm just a bug and that why I'm like this 😤 #hxh #no this is funny enough to go into the main tag actually #hoatm rants #that thing he's doing with his finger in the manga panel.. i can replicate that motion 1:1; kinda grotesque and i should #probably stop doing it so often but it's so funny to do it and watch people go 👁👁 #(the early onset arthritis it will give me will not be worth it + i am looking into getting braces for my fingers lmao) #shaiapouf

of all the ways I have injured myself at work this is both the smallest and silliest

#it's a little gross so details are in the tags here #okay so I reached for a bagel right #as i am paid to occasionally do #and somehow #i do not know how exactly but the stars aligned #a bit of extra crispy crusty bit of bagel #JAMMED itself into my finger #no i mean INto #like there is still a tiny bit of bagel in my flesh???? #idk what to do about it so we're just #gonna hope for the best i guess #if it starts looking concerning i'll go to a doctor but not a moment before #it doesn't hurt too badly and it's literally just like a little speck #but that's just. bread in my body.

I'M HERE AGAIN

TINR AU Strade getting sensory overload when using Ren's body because beastkin have more heightened senses???

I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN THINKING ABIUT THIS ALL DAY WTF GET OUT OF MY BRAIN /J

I personally headcanon Ren to be somewhere on the autism spectrum (it makes sense if you think about it) and as such he often goes into nonverbal shutdown when he gets overwhelmed

Strade is in control at one point and it's so loud why is it so loud, he can usually handle loud so whats the problem? cmon strade get it together youre a fucking soldier!

Aaaand whoops there goes the ability to word

He's hiding in an alley somewhere after having run off from Sid and Farz/Raven due to being overwhelmed, and when they find him and ask what's wrong, he's just trying to force out words and it isn't working and its making it worse fuck fuck fuck-

Until eventually Sid sits down in front of him and instructs him through deep breathing and helps him get calmed down, showing him the vague 'signs' (none of them know sign language smh) Ren uses for basic communication; hello, goodbye, im hungry, etc. Ren had showed Sid and Farz/Raven close to the time he started hanging out with them just in case he needed to use them

#his name sign is just tracing the ||< on his shoulder or the other person's hand teehee #ren's is one finger on both cheeks (for the markings) #this au is slowly going further and further away from canon aligned lmfao i promise strade is still a murderous dickhole #please hes trying his best rn hes stupid #also sid not being a douche?? rare sight right there (hes my favorite shh) #ren hana #tinr strade #tinr raven #sid tinr #tinr #tinr farz

and when i start crying over scarian? what then huh?

#it’s just so poetic </3 #how the stars aligned constantly to prove their love and devotion to each other #regardless of the world around them trying to them apart…. regardless of them doing it themselves #how they trust each other maybe even more than they trust themselves in a world where you can’t truly do that... #what with the blood of their friends seeping through their fingers… caked into the crevices so that it can’t be washed out #how they trust each other despite it… in spite of it… how they love each other and hold each other and want each other #they have each other wholly… give themselves freely…. #</3 #sorry i can’t stop thinking about them #scarian #desert duo #grian #gtws #gtwscar #goodtimeswithscar #life series smp #trafficshipping #hermitshipping

Web!Bruce keeps... tethers, for lack of a better word, on the people he cares about. The same strings a lot of Web avatars use for manipulation, he... tries to limit his use of. Let the strings sit lax, present in case of emergency, there if needed, but not to be used. When his worries get the best of him, he coils them around his fingers, pulling the tethers just tight enough to feel the life thrumming at the other end, the current emotional state of that person, just as a check in. A quick twist to make sure Dick’s okay. A light tug to make sure Damian actually went to bed. A small pull when Tim’s been quieter than usual and Bruce can’t figure out why.

It soothes Bruce’s nerves to have those silent check-ins.

It also means that despite never being prone to pyrophobia before, cases involving fire fray Bruce’s nerves more than anything, as the longer any of his people spend in close proximity to flames, the more chances there are each of their tethers might burn away. A nightmare he’s encountered more than once when he went for a check-in and found only a slack, frayed thread where a sturdy tether was supposed to be.

(Bruce has on occasion yanked all the strings attached to someone hard enough to physically force them closer to him. If he holds them tight enough, he can induce paralysis. If he winds them right, he can leave someone all trussed up and immobilized. In his weakest, most paranoid moments, he has used this to try to force someone to stay safe, but the Fear... the Fear of someone else having control over your actions, imposing their will on you, of knowing your weaknesses & taking advantage... that’s what the Web wants. Realizing he’s Feeding on someone he cares about is usually enough to snap Bruce out of it, and when it’s not, the resulting damage to their relationship is punishment enough for him to resist the urge for years to come.)

#batfam crossover #tma crossover #tma #batman #bruce wayne #bruce wayne's control issues #Web aligned Bruce Wayne #my writing #mine #// #Bruce is 100% the person you want around if anyone else has been exposed to mind-altering substances as he can restrain them harmlessly #and to a certain degree tamper with their emotional state to make it not so bad. Bruce is also the one everyone is genuinely scared of havin #to deal with when he's been drugged for... basically the exact same reasons. You do not want to be around Web!Bruce on fear gas for example. #Bruce's specific aspect of the Web is actually having your trust used against you but he mostly Feeds on the fear you're being set up. #Due to the former he can actually /only/ attach lasting tethers to people close to him. Short term tethers can be attached with a touch and #are very useful in a fight but fewer threads means worse control and like I said they only last a few days at most. #Everyone knows Batman controls Gotham from the shadows. Everyone knows he has a finger in every pie. If anything happens it's because Batman #wants it that way. (And just like every other avatar of the Web Bruce is largely being given far more credit than he deserves.) #Being /THE/ Bruce Wayne does make him one of the most trusted people in the city though so he has more control than you'd think. #He's rich enough to be useful. He's too stupid to be a threat. People let themselves be vulnerable thinking they're manipulating him. #And Bruce gets one or two thin but lasting threads on them just in case for the future. #This is for the record why the Court of Owls ended up being one of his first cases. Which is how he met Dick. #Bruce knew he'd really fucked up after he tried to take Robin away & force Dick to stay on bedrest...and Dick took a lighter to every thread #before climbing out the window & heading back to Titans Tower. There was a good few months where there was no tether between them. #Bruce spent the whole time metaphorically sinking his teeth into his own fist to choke down the bitter loss of control. #Bruce avoided Dick for fear of that Fear. He did not want to look into Dick's eyes & feel the fulfillment of his own aspect being invoked. #Which also lead to Bruce not apologizing for... a while. 'Cause the next time he saw Dick it was because of Jason. #(Dick was almost suffocating in how protective he was towards Jason specifically from Bruce whenever he was around.) #(Jason felt a lot less protected than he felt like a prop in their arguments truth be told.)

[cloudshapedpatch]

am i the only one who thinks the whole "manifesting" thing has gone a little too far?

im a spiritualist. i take time to understand the stars and the way the world works and i take my tarot, crystals, spirit, and the universe seriously. it's not a trend to me, it's my way of life. and it makes me so upset when i see people who are doing it cause it's trendy.

i saw a tiktok the other day of a pregnant woman working out. nothing special, but the caption said "i am manifesting this baby" ??? she already HAS the baby. it's growing inside her. she was over seven months along! that's not how manifesting works! it's become a super glorified buzzword and i hate it!

and i see a whole lot of "i attract but never chase" esp on twitter and tiktok. it's alright to want to attract something to you, but at this point it's all people ever do or say. they say they are manifesting (when in actuality, a lot of times they aren't actually putting in the effort or don't even know how to meditate or actively manifest beyond just wanting something). it's a really super easy way to say "im not going to put in any work to attain my goals but i should have this good thing because i deserve it"

don't get me wrong, everyone is deserving of good things, but the constant "attract not chase" mindset is harmful to yourself and others. you need a balance. you cannot aggressively want something and expect it to appear in your lap. if you are truly seeking to attract something, put in the work to properly manifest it. bring it to fruition. and then know when you need to chase. going after what you want is not a bad thing. it's not a poor thing or a pathetic thing to work towards and go after what you want.

if you really want to see results, make sure you have a balance. manifest the things you want. talk to spirit or the universe or any deity you may work with and see whether it's actually going to be a good thing for you, or whether you're ready for it yet. put yourself in a position to receive. even in attraction, it's not passive background work. you have to actively make sure you have the opportunity to receive it. open yourself up to the possibilities! you can't gain anything if you shut yourself out to world.

i know that crystals and tarot are super popular right now but using it just to play with or to fit in, and not taking it seriously, can have dangerous consequences. playing with the supernatural isn't a game, and while crystals are mostly harmless (unless handled wrong, i've heard of way too many people taking baths with their selenite! just cause some lady on tiktok said it's okay), it's still so easy to go too far if you don't know what you're doing or not taking it seriously.

if you really, actually, want to get into spirituality, please talk to someone who actually knows what they're doing. stop interacting with the tarot reads on twitter and tiktok, and get into it outside your home. go to an apothecary. go to crystal shops without the buzz antics. i know it's hard as a new spiritualist to know what's goid and what's a scam, so here's some guides i use to choosing a good shop:

don't shop anywhere that sells colored glass as crystals

don't shop from anyone or anywhere that swears by opalite. it's not real. if you want to know more about that please reach out!

hematite rings. just don't. hematite is great for soaking up negativity but it's fragile and prone to breaking when it's had enough. buying a new $30 ring when it breaks because it's soaked up too much negativity is just a way shops use to get lots of returning customers. just buy a big chunk of it and remember to cleanse it every so often.

make sure you research the way herbs interact if you're unsure. some combination don't work well together or neutralize each other and don't do anything. this is the same for crystals.

PLEASE don't attempt to open your third eye unless you are thoroughly experienced and ready for impact. closing your third eye is difficult and having it open when you're not ready is overwhelming at best. i learned that lesson the hard way. it's not fun. you don't ever have to open your third eye if you don't want to. it's not a requirement.

doing tarot reads for other people when you're still not completely sure about your deck isn't good. until you know the card meaning inside and out, reversals and uprights, and know your specific deck, it's too easy to give an incorrect reading and lead others astray. just stick to yourself.

#i've made the analogy that this is like if people started romanticizing catholicism #and it was trendy to wear a rosary and count it #but instead of learning the history and the proper way to pray with a rosary #they just took the bead in their fingers and went '1...2...3...4...' and literally counted them #it's so insulting to ACTUAL people who align themselves with that faith/religion/way of life #and insulting to our ancestors before us who were condemned for doing these things #it's not a trend! this is my faith! this is the way i love my life and you are using it for clout #cori rambles #anyway i am here for questions and i know resources to point you towards if im unsure #i will never answer if im not totally sure of the answer

whose the sexy mad scientist and the spicy firepire

I assume you mean these two!

The one on the left is Connor Salem and they're a doctor who practices necromancy, but in an entirely mundane way lol. It takes a toll on the body and makes them look a little strange, but necromancy is all about body magic, living or dead, so he finds it helpful for actually diagnosing and assisting his patients with their ailments more than anything.

The right character is the sona of one of my friends! They're getting started on twitch as a streamer so I thought I'd draw them in a cool pose for practice ^^

#tristan rambles #answering things #Connor/Scra #spoopydarckalade #your wording made me chuckle lol #you: my back hurts #connor: okay [flicks a finger and aligns ur bones] #you: a? #the doctors i wish existed in the world who could just listen and figure stuff out to help

[bringbackgoth]

Slight chance that I might be able to do something really cool that will help me get out of this damn state by next year.

#family friend nabbed a house for 10k and put another 10k into just getting it up to code #if everything goes well and the stars align I might be able to get it for 75k #going over to look at it and talk to said friend tomorrow #if it just needs aesthetic updating and all the major things are fixed then... #I can spend a year pulling up carpet/sanding floors/repairing plaster and then sell it for modest profit #which I could use as moving money/down payment money #fingers crossed

[diningpageantry]

i had to get stitches on my finger the other day and im so brave im being so brave because it's right at the inside of my knuckle and im being brave about not bending it

#makes sad little noises #i might need to get a finger cot to keep it aligned because i keep wanting to use it #plus the hypermobility is making it hard not to move it too much waaa #ignore me im literally just bitching rn

[narastories]

I lied. One more little scream about Lust, Caution:

The thing I really liked actually was that she did not do the right thing.

Putting aside the moral question of whether it is right to murder a man like Yee, her choice caused everyone to die except for the man who tortured people because of their political views, and the guy who sent in university students to do his dirty work and had no intention of getting her out of there alive. Which sort of disqualitfies it from being the right choice if you ask me.

And I liked that this was how the story went. Yes, it can be great when the tragedy of an ending is that someone makes the hard but right decision. But to me, it was refreshing to see the main character go "fuck this, it might be stupid, but you are more important to me than literally any other thing in the world, including common sense and morality". Babygirl is getting a standing ovation from me lol

#let women be problematic #and not shave their armpits #(I know that was a period thing but loved to see it regardless) #and twist men twice their age around their fingers #if they so desire!!! #lust caution #nara is still not quite normal about this #just... stories #you know? #this movie was also just refreshing to me #because I think artistic freedom is very important #I don't think the pro-censorship usamerican teenagers of this site realize how much their views align with the literal fucking ccp's #just read what they did with this film: remove sex scenes nudity treason and “wrong” moral decisions #basically the soul of the movie lol #it's scary when you think about it
