Papercraft Ed! I had the sketch for this one finished a while ago, but for whatever reason didn’t feel quite happy with it. Eventually I tried flipping it to face the opposite way - meaning his automail arm was now facing the viewer and could be shown via rips in his clothes and gloves - and then BAM, I liked how it looked after all! Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make all the difference.

#fullmetal alchemist #edward elric #papercraft #papercutting #paper art #my art #I didn't actually read or watch FMA until 2021 and somehow never had any idea whatsoever what it was actually about #just that it was Good and beloved by many #and like! I was looking forward to it! But buying the whole manga would be pretty expensive #so I kept putting it off #UNTIL! #USED BOOKSTORE TO THE RESCUE ONCE AGAIN!!! #they had the ENTIRE SERIES for a STEAL and I straight-up gasped aloud in the manga aisle #carried everything up to the counter at once like I was weightlifting because WHAT IF I left a volume behind and someone else snagged it #TOO RISKY #and then read the whole series in two days #and. Dear readers you were ALL correct #fma fucking SLAPS

Mike Wheeler and Will Byers… Run.

#byler #stranger things #the blue and yellow boys in the background = Mike and Will #the extra in place of mike was actually in quite a few shots #like he’s always peaking in the frame… #something else that’s important to note #when you get wide shots of the whole group #the Mike and Will lookalikes are directly across the aisle of the wheelers #like straight line across they are in the same aisle #BUT #in the shots showing the wheeler family head on #it now looks like the mike and Will look alike are two rows back at least #bc they would have to be for that shot to work how it did #so yeah this was extremely intentional #And the fact that Jason is dead… the one who called out hellfire… #and s4 ended with a shot of a church being swarmed with attendees #our boys are in danger #we might get endgame byler sooner than we think #but at what cost? #violent mob homophobia 😳 #holly just sitting there like… #‘Mike is in a cult 😅’

i finished this painting and all i felt was hollow. which is fitting. curse of aimen

#the curse of a realism painter #or any perfectionist artist i guess. just feeling absolutely empty in the emotions aisle after finishing a big project #the yard #the thing is that i was actually ecstatic after i finished the painting. it was the end of a two month process and i was so relieved. #but then i had to take photos of it #and now one could say that i'm feeling less cool #anyways i'm not begging for compliments i do like this painting. it'll just take me another month before i can get a big ego about it #aiden calvin

what’s gayer folks, doing it in the ass or arguing with another man about how he abandoned you and your son in the middle of a grocery store?

bonus: buck trying to discuss visitation like he’s christopher’s dad and not just eddie’s friend

#i’m sorry but eddie is giving EXTREME disappointed/scorned wife energy here #the rest of the 118 watching their two newest firefighters have what amounts to a domestic married couple argument in the produce aisle: #god i hated this episode not because it wasn’t good simply because i wanted to punch so many people in the fucking face #911 #911 abc #911 show #buddie #christopher diaz #chris diaz #evan buckley #buck buckley #evan buck buckely #edmundo diaz #eddie diaz #edmundo eddie diaz

has anyone else been seeing a lot of straight women on the internet, mainly tiktok, saying stuff like “i’m not a lesbo or anything but damn” or “i’m straight im straight i’m straight” on conventionally attractive butch/masc women’s tiktok videos lately? Its honestly giving massive “no homo” energy. Just say she looks attractive and go. No need for the mild lesbophobia to be sprinkled in there too. Nobody gives a shit that you are straight, or even questioning.

#or the arguably worse “this was my lesbian awakening that I had two seconds ago 😍” under a video of a animated woman #like miss #that is a bunch of pixels on a screen. If you have never had a crush on a real woman then you are probably not a lesbian #and they always have a husband and kids too. You are not a lesbian and neither is your husband that you willingly walking down the aisle wi #radblr #radfem safe #radfems please touch #radical feminism #lesbian radfems

Or is it hard work dear, holding the atmosphere? (🎶)

Random doodle that randomly got coloured and there you go, why would they need two sleeping cots?

(this is to convince myself to finalise Monster Fic next chapter by illustrating it, hoping I'll come to a conclusion and either cut it short or just... Make it three chapter in the Arbor Wilds because who even care right.)

this is completely based on a customer interaction i witnessed today but—

i'm imagining single dad!touya just trying to do some goddamn grocery shopping for his little hooligans, and his daughter won't stop picking on her little brother, and touya has to keep calling them back over to the cart because she's chasing him around the store.

and his wild child little girl almost runs into someone, but she just barely stops herself and grabs her brother by the back of his shirt, so he won't run into anyone either. and she grins, showing off her big smile and her missing front tooth.

"'scuse me!" she says, all outside-voice because she couldn't be quiet if she tried. "sorry!"

and the older woman in the aisle just smiles back at her and laughs a little, telling her, "well, aren't you so polite?"

then the little girl is yanking her brother back to the cart, calling out, "d'you hear that, dad? i'm polite!"

"yeah, yeah," touya mutters, frowning at her as she tries to climb in and sit down amongst the groceries. "know what that means? means i'm doing a kickass job as a father."

and both his little hellions say, "yeah, dad, you're kickass!"

#so cute 😌 #and then they're both going 'we're kickass!' while walking down the aisles and he has to try and shut them up #but he laughs every time they do it LOL #waaahhh i love him #father of two touya — you have my heart #forever grateful to you anon dear for putting that in my head he he he #cw children #✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: dabi/touya #✿ theme: dad dabi/touya

Barry (2018-2023) x Bo Burnham - That funny feeling

#has this been done. im new here idk if this has been done. but it spoke to me #barry #barryedit #mine.caro #barry hbo #barry spoilers #is that tag still used #anyways yeah i was thinking about the shot of him with the guns in the toys aisle. and it reminded me of that line from the song #and the rest came from there #i had another version in mind that was more for the show in general. in 'we were overdue' it was hank by the statue #and there was a banshe thing for the 'female colonel sanders' line. and idek what else #but i think this works better #hope i captured well the shrimp emotions fusing these two things gives me. the vibes.... #also i wanted the lyrics to be in bigger font but i'm doing this in ms paint rip and i was afraid of crowding the image too much

[itsguysnightitsironic]

We don't need to speak of it. (For a cut tree should have a silent fall)

Oh to be mutilated and drag others on your fall! Oh fear, lover! Oh fear!

Girl help! I'm reading into parts of the narrative that probably don't even exist.

The way I when feral when Lethica slaps him, LIKE YES! GET HIS ASS! I LOVE CONSEQUENCES, GIVE ME SOME GOOD OLD DIVORCE ARC-

#legends of avantris #edge of midnight #marius renathyr #lethica nightborne #tw mention of abuse #tw violence #tw sa implied #can we get two therapists on aisle three? thank you #im not saying my literature teacher would be proud #but i can't really just see blue curtains #LOOK ALL THOSE UNDERTONES

[invinciblerodent]

yknow, no, i'm not done thinking/posting/being deeply angry about the whole "bbuuuhhh Astarion is gay and was made playersexual as a game mechanic bbbuuuhhhhhhh" garbage some people still spout.

like this type of sentiment is always annoying and wrong, but it's specifically this character for whom it's especially annoying to me, just because on top of all the regular host of issues, it also deeply contradicts what I believe is the central theme of his whole goddamn story.

(excuse the rant please.)

Like, my skin already crawls at that term, "playersexual". I hate it, and find its use either vaguely ignorant at best, or blatantly pan/biphobic at worst. but even just besides that....

This character is a man whose narrative intentionally shows his presentation of himself, and of his masculinity, as being contradictory with convention. This character is one whose entire arc is about discovering who he is beyond the boxes he was assigned: a spawn, a monster, a seducer, a tool, a predator, a plaything, a victim, a sexual object... these are all identities that were forced onto him. And if he's given space to discover them, turns out, none of them are things that he actually wants to be. if you give him space, and affection (romantic or otherwise), and acceptance, and help him attain closure and catharsis, he expresses desire to be... an adventurer, a lover, a friend, a protector, so many things, but all of them in his own way. That's the point of his story, control vs. autonomy.

How.... myopic does one have to be to see that story, to play that story, to play an active, participatory role in that subversion, that search for the self beneath the masks, and declare that actually, they made him this other box for him to fit into, so... it's fine, i guess, to ignore what he says?????? it's fine if they pick and choose among his expressed traits which ones to use and which to disregard, because they decided (based on frankly homophobic and rather misogynistic stereotypes) that he cannot be different from their perception, despite him literally saying otherwise????????

Astarion's entire figure is a succession of trope-subversions. I could write essays about all the ways in which, in the romanced spawn game, the narrative sets up tropes (primarily in act 1), only to then purposefully knock them down and contradict them as the game progresses.

Like..... He was to take revenge by taking power for himself (like he thought he wanted, like Cazador did to Vellioth): ended up taking his revenge and rejecting the power that could have come with it, and despite that having a price, being content and grateful for it (and realizing that the alternative would have had an even greater price he would have paid unknowingly). He starts out using sex and sexuality as a weapon, and a tool of manipulation, like he did for many decades: ends up expressing discomfort with being seen as a sex object, resuming his sex life by saying "I love you" before his partner would have, and proposing sex with them as a beautiful metaphor for his own rebirth.

His whole story starts out with him thinking he requires protection from the player and that the only way to get that is through using his body and looks as a bargaining chip: later he discovers in himself a desire to be the protector himself, which he talks about more than once, and expresses varying degrees of discomfort at the thoughts of both using his body to gain something, and needing a protector.

There's the "this is what I'm good for" type of attitude towards sex morphing into "I am so much more than a thing to be used". There's the whole thing about how important his looks were to both him and his "usefulness" back then, despite him not being able to even fucking see them, (which also kind of includes that silly lovely gremlin-face he sometimes makes), but those are just the ones off the top of my head.

The story, and the romance plot, is about... it's about him regaining ownership of himself, it's about autonomy, his whole recurring "what do you want" line is about respecting his choices and letting him find his way to them, it's about letting him show you who he is, believing him, and loving the man behind the facade.

how absolutely fucking short-sighted does one have to be to then take that incredibly reductive stereotype of "femme-leaning man with theatrical mannerisms who cares about his looks; must be exclusively homosexual and any attraction he shows to women is just a mechanic/fanservice/flattery" (which, that's so fucking insulting to gay men, and bi/pan men, an any man who might express masculinity in a less than conventional way, and to the women who may love them [eta: and of course nonbinary people, and the people to whom masculinity means something wholly different]), and assign it to this character on their own accord, despite him literally telling the player otherwise? despite him verbally expressing attraction to multiple women, and contradicting that stereotypical interpretation wholly and out of pocket??????

like, hello??????? did we play the same game????????? did we play the same fucking game??????????

like don't think for one second that it isn't the pan/biphobia that annoys me more, it absolutely is, but this character is such a particularly egregious example, it's almost fucking poetic.

#squirrel plays bg3 #i feel like this needs a tw but i just. cannot think of what #i'm just..... annoyed. and ranting. and my brain is full. and i'm hungry. #point is; where Gale's central theme boils down to an exploration of devotion #Astarion's is about autonomy #these are the only two i've done so far so i've not yet looked this much into the others #next is gonna be me ranting for hours about Shadowheart's theme of sacrifice; just you wait #(i hope the person who replied to this post; deleted their reply; and then blocked me #knows how heartily I just laughed at that little sequence of events) #(it's like seeing; idk; a bottle of nice healthy kale-spinach juice discarded in the liquor aisle of a supermarket) #(a telltale sign of DecisionsTM made) #(I can respect a “yknow i don't want to engage with this today”) #(even if i will just outright say that i believe i'm right)

Saw some of the grossest parenting today in the bus

#this dad was on his phone the whole bus ride ok #and his two kids were screaming arguing #at most he would periodically tell them to lower their voice while still on his phone #one time he told them to stop the one sitting next to him hit him 😭 and he went back to look at his phone with no reaction #my guy something is seriously wrong with you #your kids are screaming at each other doesn't even matter all that much that we are in the bus rn #theyre not just being loud kids you need to do smt!!!!!! its too early for this!!! i could hear them even with my noise cancelling headphone #anyways #ive never seen smt like this #and i work in a mall i see lots of parents and kids #idk smt really disgusting about a parent just not even interested in engaging with their kids #dude no wonder they're loud they probably want ur attention #also this one lady once who came in wjth a big stroller #and the store where i work has little moving rooms between the aisle so this woman decided TO LEAVE THE STROLLER WITH A KID INSIDE AT THE #FRONT OF THE STORE #the kids started crying and his hrother (toddler not in the stroller but not following the mom for some reason) started exploring and i #i had to watch them until the mom came back but like the woman just left them there??? #i just stepped in but what if i hadnt??? lady????????? #i see lots of cute interactions of course #like this little girl who came with who i think is her grandpa and he asked me to help her chose her next manga read 😭💖 #i basically work in a book/toy store #theres a lot of candy as well the kids love it #idk i like seeing kids being happy ok it is healing #like all the kids sitting on the floors deep in their books while the parents shop 😭😭😭 makes me smile every time top tier behavior

[kirkwallguy]

my most evil inquisitor lore is that my trevelyan has a sister who died in the kirkwall circle just before the chantry explosion and cullen had a massive crush on her. she looked just like her. many implications.

#she was caught trying to escape and had to be made tranquil #cullen signed the papers but he warned her ahead of time which gave her a chance to. well you know. #and that was his tipping point turning him against meredith's rule. #he DOESN'T know she was a trevelyan though bc her parents were so ashamed of having a mage child they made her change her name #and he just doesnt make the connection between two blonde girls. he just thinks he has a type. #until. on THE wedding day. hawke is invited (because my trev has a crush on him. and is desperately mad of his tall blonde wife who she saw #when she snuck a glance at his locket one time. she lied about reading tale of the champion.) #anyway bethany sees her and is like. wait. she looks exactly like this woman i was in love with in the circle. #and she puts the pieces together. realises shes marrying CULLEN of all people. and is like oh fuck. #and she like. warns her. but at that point what can you do? the wedding is arranged and trevelyan is a massive public figure #so she walks down the aisle towards a man who is a) possibly only into her because he's chasing the ghost of her dead sister b) possibly the #reason her sister is dead c) actually kind of evil now that she's hearing stories about him from bethany #sorry the dai romances are boring to me i need to inject toxicity and horror into them to be interested. #anyway. all this to say that cullen kisses mary on the forehead when she reaches him at the altar and everyone who Knows (several people #by this point. dorian was there as well so he's been whispering) goes dead silent
