#a guide to living (again)

[mangokabuto]

New tablet finally came! To break it in I decided to make myself some HC references. I really struggle with consistent faces and ESPECIALLY with profile faces, so i made myself a guide lol

I was originally going to do everyone but i got tired <3 and I don't struggle with the others as much lmfao

#my art #sanji always sorta looks kinda wistful #not drawing the rest of usopp's ponytail is. so strange #ROBIN LOVE OF MY LIFE. ONE CHANCE. PLEAASSEE #I wasn't trying to get that close to live action luffy i wasnt i promise. inaki godoy get out of my brain #if i still have the motivation later i also plan to make myself tattoo guides for nami usopp jinbe luffy and zoro #i dont think the others would have consistent tattoos (though i could be persuaded to give sanji a drunken tramp stamp) #i say CONSISTENT because i think franky has like. swapable ones on his synthetic skins #once again let me tap the sign: ''always assume i've drawn them all transgender'' #sanji is amab genderfluid and possibly the only strawhat who has an adam's apple LMFAO #zoro looks so cool. and nami is so pretty. i need to post this instead of staring at them for more hours

He’s so Christian rock

#forget it eggman. I’ll defeat you with the power of Christ #these chaos emeralds really remind me of god and how he helped me find myself #unlike you sonic #I’m not an athiest anymore #shadow the hedgehog #christian rock #sonic the hedgehog #meme #when dreaming I’m guided to another world #time and time again #sing it tails #at sunrise I fight to stay asleep #cause I don’t want to leave the comfort of this place #I love creed #cause there’s a hunger. a longing to escape #from the life I live when I’m awake #flyleaf #creed

I hope this will be a healing message...... I keep thinking of making a high-humanity P laugh really hard 🥹 like doing or saying something he thinks is SO hilarious that he is literally on the floor, gasping for breath, unable to speak because he is genuinely dying with laughter.

Prolly would take some real tame shit to make him laugh like that too. Like a funny drawing.

I will keel over and die but in a happy, positive way. If you would allow me to add onto this though I’d like to think the higher the humanity the more his body reacts to touch, I think he’d be ticklish!

His head is in your lap, the usual resting place for him on sunny afternoons like this. The heat makes everyone sleepy and with Krat no longer under eminent threat P can finally just laze around and relax to his heart’s content.

The light turns his hair a chocolate brown as you run your fingers through it slowly, stopping every now and again to scratch at his scalp which earns you a happy hum and a beautiful, closed eye smile. Your other hand rests on the warm skin of his chest, visible through the opening in his shirt.

You can feel the steady beat of his heart under your palm, and the hand of his legion arm is laying on top of your own, squeezing every now and again to tell you that he’s not asleep, he promises he won’t fall asleep, he’s a liar but he’s happy and you don’t mind and he knows you don’t mind.

The heat is turning your mind syrupy but not enough that you don’t notice him flinch ever so slightly when the hand in his hair brushes against the length of his neck, his eyebrows furrow for only a moment but the idea is already in your head.

You only wish to test your theory.

As gently as you can you brush your fingers against his neck again, this time with far more intention. P jerks up, trying to escape your hold but you’re already one step ahead, having braced your arm across his front to trap him against you.

A beautiful sound falls from him, you can feel it through his back as much as you can hear it, he’s laughing! 

A proper, joyful, bordering on hysterical laugh. The sound was higher pitched than his talking voice, but was still rich and warm. You come to realise that this is the loudest he’s ever been, you don’t think you’ve ever heard P raise his voice. It’s nice to see him let loose, smiling big, broad and unabashedly.

With everything over and the state of his humanity clear, watching him navigate the ways he was taken advantage of was a careful thing. He’d become well acquainted with being angry and with being sad, so the moments when you could have him rolling on the floor, losing his mind over something silly was a blessing in every sense of the word.

You pushed him forward, the two of you wrestling against your bedsheets until you came out victorious. You sat straddled atop his stomach, digging your fingers into his neck as he squirmed and pleaded for mercy,

“Stop stop, I can’t breathe,” he laughed, throwing his head back and then pulling his chin toward his chest in hopes of trapping your hands.

You continued your assault of feather light touches, poking and prodding at other areas you thought might also be ticklish.

His chest, his armpits, his sides. It was the prod to his stomach that made him yell suddenly and almost throw you off of him entirely, as you tried to recover your balance he swept your wrists between one hand, breathing heavily as he tried to calm down.

“What… was that?” He asked breathlessly, smiling up at you dazedly.

“Tickling,” you hummed, also catching your breath.

“I thought I was gonna die,” he groaned dramatically, “do it again.”

“Catch your breath first,” you instructed, breaking your hands free of his grasp gently, “it’s nice to see you laughing, you deserve to be happy.”

His eyebrows turned upward as he soaked in your earnestness, a quiet thank you said with his eyes. His hands brushed against your outer thighs, you squirmed with a giggle and a mischievous smile took over his face.

“No,” you warned, “Pino don’t!”

He dug his fingers into your sides, copying your movements and making you squeal, he’d always been a quick learner.

#hey it’s bloodbrown #fairy is answering #i would like to once again make clear i have not finished the game and have no idea what is meant to or implied to happen afterwards #with that out of the way #cat behaviour p supremacy always #did I make it sunny because it’s very hot where I live right now or because I want him to wear the white shirt again? You’ll never know #this ask made my day #all warm and fuzzy in my chest #pulling P’s first laugh from him? What a privilege #I have another plot bunny about this in my notes so please expect that you’ll be seeing this concept again #did I choose tickling instead of saying something funny? Yes because I am not funny #I'm sure if I tried harder I could be funny but not tonight #I am to eepy #I am gonna eat that boy #lies of p x reader #pinocchio x reader #p x reader #lies of p #dec 2023 #🦋 let your conscience be your guide

Shinjiham is cute when it’s romantic but tbh I think i vastly prefer the idea of them being best friends instead. Like, neither of them really saw it coming and weren’t really looking to get another best friend (Shinji has Akihiko, Kotone has Junpei and Yukari respectively) but it happens anyway. Kotone takes a liking to Shinji much faster than she does anyone else and I’d say a big reason is just the fact that he’s so reserved that it allows Kotone to do most of the talking while he just listens and they love this arrangement cuz Kotone doesn’t get to talk about her own interests very much. Though I think some of her needs to talk to Shinji stems from this insecurity that he isn’t happy in the group and she has this people pleasing problem and wants everyone to be happy so she makes a much bigger effort to talk to Shinji. And it’s very unfortunate because Shinji intentionally acts cold and distant because he doesn’t want to form any attachments because he wants to die soon, but aaaaaaaagh dammit this girl just keeps talking to him and being sweet and encouraging him to engage in his interests and share them with the others and he just can’t seem to say no when she’s got those damn puppy eyes. And Kotone is just able to get him out of his shell by being persistent but not in an overwhelming way, she’s very cheerful and supportive of him. And Shinji is able to offer her support by encouraging her to talk about herself and by making sure she’s taking care of herself. They just click really well and make such a positive dent in each other’s lives and it’s all about basic acts of kindness going a long way you know?

#persona #persona 3 #kotone shiomi #shinjiro aragaki #i uh. probably didnt do much here to prove that their relationship is best when its platonic akjsks i mean idk how to convey it #that these two are just so good for each other but that im just not feeling it romantically #and why should i honestly like cant a guy and a girl just be platonic soulmates like me and jackie aljsks #plus i just have other ships with these characters i like better ahem akishinji and mitsuham yall already know #and i just feel really comforted by their relationship being best friends cuz it makes the pocket watch a lot more power of friendship #and it just. irks me the idea that its romantic love that saves shinji and its romantic love that gave him a will to live #cuz first off you can save him without romancing him and also like if you think kotone is the only person he wants to live for #youre just wrong like in fact its very clear in his social link that he feels this strong love for everyone #its literally like why other characters are so ingrained into his link he loves everyone and they love him back #its just kotone who organizes the time for them all to get together plus like idk when ppl say shinji only wants to live after romancing #kotone its like. well hes not gonna have a good time post coma then huh #and i suppose the point being made is he has to learn to live even if his gf isnt there but again like. shes not the only thing he has #idk i just hate this like pedestal romantic relationships are put on and i hate the implications that like #akihiko has been trying for years to protect shinji and his love doesnt matter cuz it isnt some heterosexual romance #grrrrr it just irks me is all and yeah i just think theyre besties who do everything together #kotone is like shinjis emotional support animal that guides him through the scary crowds and shinji is off putting enough to scare away the #meanies that come their way and they have a dress up montage and make cookies

I think it's so funny that guys are so obsessed with being super masculine. I have seen bisexuals go fucking feral for effeminate men, myself included. Pull yourself a bisexual queen by being sensitive and a lil fruity

#saw a video abt why women like Astarion so much and its lived in my head rent free since #yeah he has red flags but he is romantic and poetic and never lashes out at the player. he has a lil hissy fit then its fine again #he respects consent and is absolutely willing to work on himself especially with your guiding hand #once he opens up he is very good at articulating how he feels #once you get to that point he is a very genuine and honest person

Knowing my love of overanalyzing small aspects of a series' universe, I sometimes imagine what an in-universe medical research paper on space disease would look like, and having a sort of grounded in reality look on how it affects the body.

Considering the 1978 Harlock anime's flashback episodes don't refer to space disease by name but rather described by Tochiro as his "anemia acting up", it's safe to assume that space disease is a blood disorder, if not a cardiac disorder or both, but very likely affecting blood cell count or even affecting the hemoglobin on top of that. While it's incurable in the SSX timeline, and perhaps the disease is unknown in the 1978 timeline and assumed to be a different disorder (or very well COULD be an irl disorder causing anemia in that timeline), medications DO exist that slow down its progression while treating flare ups, much like treatments of some irl diseases and disorders, like beta blockers that treat heart problems or medications designed to slow the progression of certain cancers. (though the medication we do see Tochiro use in SSX seems to be more for treating flare-ups, same goes with the med Kei Yuki's dad is seen taking for his heart issues).

Basically, the only option is to treat the symptoms and hope the disease takes one's life later rather than sooner, and perhaps slow the progression as long as one can. And for all we know, that could also be what Kei Yuki's dad was suffering from in his only appearance in SSX, further emphasizing its affects on the heart as well as the blood.

It's clear the disease has been known about for quite some time. Perhaps it was discovered in the 29th century if not a couple centuries after humanity started settling in other planets. Surely that wormhole in SSX ain't the ONLY place people have contracted space disease from.

#headcanon #analysis #overanalyzing #captain harlock #yeah i'm watching a vid about historical diseases so that's kinda what prompted this again lol #not sure if hematologic or cardiac but either way that's one NASTY af disease #hell could even be an in universe carcinogenic disorder for all we know which would also be incurable at that point in the timeline #leijiverse #disease #i do sometimes have these sorts of headcanons that can only be compiled in an in-universe encyclopedia or something like that #or an in-universe field guide #i have a lot of those sorts of headcanons for the teddy ruxpin series regarding the many species that live in grundo and ying #now if only i could make such an in-universe encyclopedia lol

getting a bad grade in gender identity because i value self expression infinitely less than i value human connections

#:) #in the most juvenile way my gender stance hasn't really changed since i was 14 #in the sense that 'i'll be whatever gender gives me the best odds of someone falling in love with me' has always been the guiding ethos #perhaps the worst lens to live life through but unfortunately it is now ingrained lol #if we're gonna be honest and vulnerable if i wasn't doomed by the narrative i would be SUCH an insufferable lovepilled romantic type #instead i have the Horrors and wacky identity hijinks and my silly stories to sustain my existence #which to be fair is probably far more materially beneficial in the long term! i just need a healthier relationship to selfhood lmao #anyway i'm just rambling because it's late but clock changes mean i don't feel tired yet #also i guess this is some kinda weird stress pressure release for everything i have going on next week lol #imagine when i'm in a good place and can just work on my projects again lmao

Something something, Lestera looking so happy and peaceful in death, a gentle goodbye after a long fulfilling life. Something something, Molly dying so violently, so young—so haunted and aching to live, his eyes never shut—

#I am sad about tealeaf again— #thinking of how he died over and over #and his deaths were so painful and full of fear and desperation and sacrifice— #how death was never kind to him #but at least. at the end of it all #the moonweaver is always there to take his hand and guide him between lives #and he finally gets to open his eyes again at the very end— #thinking of how awful molly must have felt in his final moments #and how it never made him bitter or cold or hateful like Lucien #how he gave himself and everything he is. twice. #and stil there’s so much joy and love in him—

Having some thoughts abt the Gabriel fight in act 2

#do you ever think abt the fight in the context of the lore/whats happened #imagine youre the sole thing remaining of god. the sole thing keeping order. #machines have been systematically going through hell and slaughtering everything #demons husks other angels #soon they will exterminate every. single. living. thing. #nothing will remain #your sole purpose as an angel #to guide and protect humanity and serve god #gone. #god is gone. humanity is gone. even their after lived as husks and as virtues are all going to be gone soon. #YOU will be gone soon #you know this #you try to stop the machine one last time. #and at some point you realize you cant beat this thing #you start to laugh and have fun despite the horrible circumstances #youre going to die and everything else will be exterminated #and youre fucking ecstatic. youve finally found a worthy opponent. even calling it a fight worthy of gods will #going on and on about how you finally found a worthy fight #you lose AGAIN and instead of rage or anything other emotion. you feel relief. #youve finally found something you wanted #you have nothing left except for this one singular want. this one person who strikes passion in you #and it will destroy everything. including you. #anyways that ended up more coherent than i thought it would #but yeah after u get past the haha gay jokes and think abt it its like. damn v1 fucked hell uppp #and makes the gay moment like. sir this thing is gonna exterminate everything in hell u said it urself #limbo. lust. gluttony. all literally and fully destroyed and it will only keep going #and yet... #youre happy. for the first time in forever youre happy youve found someone whos a worthy opponent #and you want to fight them despite the end of everything including yourself? #haha gayyyy

I WANT WRITING PROOOOMPTSSSSSS

#im srry i keep asking for them trust me im not ignoring them #i literally write them....off the rails #like so much that it's like. i cant post this #this has become embarrassingly cumbersome #it happens with original ideas the most tho so it's like. having a prompt helps guide me better #but it can also be a double edged sword in springboarding my ideas off that even more #idk whats worse #a one-sided thanasis crush on jrue fic has turned into the older sibling sacrifice fic #bcs thanasis realizes giannis actually likes jrue too and thanasis has always lived his life #trying to help his baby brother #so he has to resign himself as the older brother once again #and tries to gaslight himself into thinking jrue only talks to him out of pity bcs he. like everyone else. sees thanasis as giannis brother #as his life has always been. attached to another name like a parasite #but jrue takes thanasis's shying away the wrong way and gets hurt over it bcs hes very forthright and not roundabout #which was one of things thanasis admired abt him #and when he gets traded he sits with thanasis to eat at a restaurant for some comfort and closure over this tension #but thanasis thinks it's just a ploy to get some info on whether giannis was involved or not #theres times where theyre very complementary bcs jrue hangs out with thanasis to help him bring out his actual person #since he knows being an older sibling can be more of an overshadowing name in life than a fun factor #but then this misunderstanding makes things uneasy #like jrue loves sitting on the same side of someone in a booth so when he sits right next to thanasis at dinner #thanasis gets all sweaty and blushy and keeps accidentally dropping his fork everytime their knees touch #it's cute until he starts wondering if this is some kind of intimadation tactic but thats just how jrue is. theres literally no #ulterior motive. like thanasis knows jrue can be cutthroat. but hes not cruel tho. he sits next to thanasis bcs he likes sitting next to ppl #not across. it's literally so simple what theyre dealing with externally but internally it's so locked in and convulsing #it's confusing. and it's so dumb of a fic like whos gonna read this shit lol CAN I BE NORMAL #anyways send stuff 😊😊 im bored #i need smthin light and easy (it doesnt rlly matter. im gonna turn it into smthing way worse than it should be idk why #(i need to go to a k*ll animal shelte

[rxttenfish]

i know i did reblog that post earlier but the specific implication that we should fence in wild areas or that other continents dont have large megafauna in their local areas is just.... bothering me

like 1. restricting the movement of animals is bad for ecology, actually, and its part of why the highway system in the USA is so specifically concerning. not just because larger animals tend to maintain larger swathes of territory, but because animals need to move between areas in order to prevent genetic islands and inbreeding. this is actually part of the issue in why certain animals are endangered, because you can get too many in one area and not enough in other areas and they cannot move between areas

and 2. you?? do get megafauna interacting with and in local areas??? like even here its not an all-the-time sort of deal, and so is it in other areas, but there's still plenty of instances of elephants breaking open houses or blocking roads, and certainly plenty of instances of large cats hanging out around human trash. its not just an ''only in america!'' type deal

#all the care guide says is 'biomass' #again i think this is just a case of. ''theres a lot of usamericans on the web'' #so things that apply to usamericans get over-reported compared to the rest of the world #but like as someone who does take a major interest in human-wildlife conflict #yeah no if you live in a place with megafauna they will turn up in your back yard #also i will go out on a limb and say #its fine. like obviously there are multiple different factors here like if theres food out or an unsecured dumpster but #or the extremely rare cases of like. a starving cougar stalking someone. #but like. its fine if an animal (even a large animal) is in your yard #if its not doing anything other than its own business then whatever #i can hardly say a bear trundling through and maybe sitting down is acclimating it to people #its not convenient no but things can be inconvenient without being bad
