#a heart in a body in the world

[beautifulbookishdisaster]

Grief is everywhere. It's its own being. It walks beside you silently, jumps out at you meanly, pokes you awake at night. It makes tears roll down your cheeks at a blue sky.

a little divine appreciation

-

God Gale is endgame for Mayhew, and Mayhew couldn't be more pleased 😌

their mutual wizard disease brought them to some pretty low lows, but hey, ignore the tragedy, they're gods now! first order of business is a little worshiping at the altar 😏

Here's the sketch, which I also like:

Got majorly inspired by these lovely photos, one of which I used as a pose reference.

#mayhew #will have a different godly form once i settle on some details. and finish writing the fic about this #but may i just say i adore god gale? he's the worst version of himself and he'll never see it and i love that for him #plus i really love gods of volatile neutral traits like ambition that could amplify good and bad acts by turn #mayhew's portfolio is similar - curiosity. no way that could go wrong when paired with ambition! they're the questionable judgement duo #but mayhew's got an enormous heart so on the whole more good is put into the world than bad. ...usually. #can't take the wizard out of a wizard #anyway hi hello to all the god gale fans out there. there will be more fanart for sure #also can you tell I adore drawing body hair? i hope you can #my art #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #gale x tav #gnome tav #gnomeposting #galehew

hyunjin on bubble: thank you for wishing me happy birthday today. it was fun

#hyunjin #skz #stray kids #🧼 #OUHHHH OUHHHHH OUHHHHHH what is this sudden warmth in my body and heart. am i gettin sick in love after getting bitten by the lovebug [him] #when i go and snatch all the flags from their poles and replace them with these pictures then what .. #and ​they will write about the cute man with the cinnamoroll headband in all the local magazines #my plan for more hyune world domination..

this is non comic or OSP related, so sorry if i'm overstepping, but do you have any advice for someone that wants to move/exercise more but is utterly unmotivated?(not exercise for muscles, just movement for the sake of movement)

Honestly? Think of something physically demanding you want to be able to do. Stuff like hiking and/or climbing rough terrain, running free with the wind in your hair, swordfighting, stunt falls, sick metal gear combat rolls - anything that has ever made you sit up and think "I wish I could do that!" Once you reframe movement and exercise as a way to make your body capable of more fun things, it becomes a lot easier to stay motivated.

#I hit a wall in rock climbing because my finger strength is too poor to get a grip on the smoother handholds #and cyan was like 'they make therapy putty for finger strength' #and now I have a fun fifteen-minute exercise I can do while pacing and it's got all the sensory benefits of slime #I've been intermittently doing little jogs because if my legs and my heart stay nice and healthy I could potentially do strenuous hikes #your body is a toolset for engaging with the world #asks #not aurora

the imagery of no health regen…… wounded skin that doesn’t heal…. torn clothes….. burns…. scorch marks….. bite marks….. blood everywhere…… unraveling bandages…… oh…….

#secret life #secret life smp #if i ever write a slsmp fic. everyone is going to be wounded as FUCK #like. i love it when fan artists draw the characters punctured with arrows #or burned after dying to lava/fire #and now with no health regen. how the injuries don’t go away #a worn and ragged green life almost desperate to turn yellow #if not for the full set of health again #stab wounds that don’t close. a heart bleeds until you die. the scratch marks itch under the armour #ohhhhhh it’s so sexy #teammates changing each others bandages bc the blood never stops #infected wounds? that only ease when more hearts are earned from the secret keeper? #i’m so obsessed with this already #like yessssss the player gets weaker and weaker as they lose more hearts #they are so damaged and injured they can barely raise their shield #their whole body aching. scathing with every hit and blow #and then when they gain hearts. and the RELIEF #of scorch marks fading. wounds closing. blood drying. pains easing. broken bones set themselves #so much cruelty in the world. everyone takes that extra little care with each other #no more friendly slaps on the shoulder or even high fives #everyone is just very still. too fatigued to do anything but survive

Kyle Soller as Alfred Hillinghead in Bodies

#bodies #bodies netflix #bodiesedit #alfred hillinghead #kyle soller #completely captivated by this pale sad homosexual #he looks like he's about to burst into tears 99% of the time #he makes my heart ache and i love him forever #and when they put him in that suit that perfectly matches his eyes? AH #also wtf kyle soller #i mean i knew he was good in andor #but the sheer level of repressed emotionality he manages to express in every. single. scene. #wow #i made this #i just want a tag for the things i personally put out into the world

Vasco and Machete are absolutely adorable, your style is so lovely and you draw the softest beds I’ve ever seen in any art ever

.

#thank you! #softest beds is a whole new compliment that's so sweet #let me go off on a weird and personal tangent for a minute #I've always found the concept of sleeping very touching somehow #it's this mandatory resting period literally everyone has to plan their life around no one has the power to avoid sleeping #if you neglect it your mind and body start to break down very quickly #sleep is such a neutral state of being no one is particularly sad or happy or evil or good while they're asleep they're just logged off #sleeping feels nice it's rejuvenating it's one of the few universal pleasures every single person has an access to #and I find it terribly cute how people have different little bedtime rituals #socks on socks off various pillow and blanket arrangements certain sounds that make them sleepy etc #and sleeping next to someone is such an act of trust #it's extremely intimate as is sex doesn't necessarily have to factor into it #getting comfortable and going unconscious with someone at the same place at the same time that just touches my heart #especially if you're invited into their bed which is a very private space a person's own little nest where the world can't reach them #even if you fall asleep in public transport there's this vulnerability to it and for the most part people respect the sanctity of sleep #and tend to leave sleeping people alone at least in my limited experience #I like drawing my characters sleeping because it feels like I'm doing them a favor granting them a little respite #anonymous #answered

MARAUDER LOCKDOWN

... Tbh he is more of a "vagrant" but that sounds too low for his reputation IMEAN--

I'm both excited and nervous to show at last a proper reference for my own interpretation of this character 💚 I think it's not a surprise anyway for the ones that know me and my love for him ksdjhfjdsfh

I wanted to do it too so I can work comfortably on my HCs that edge in very OOC territory from the canon (and even some fanon)... and because I admit I have been enjoying sharing short stories and RPs with people again ✨ and activity I missed a lot!

And of course, this interpretation got its own whole backstory that differs from the canon and follows my HCs and concepts around his species, but I'll talk about that in another post (or if someone is curious enough to ask for it coff).

For now! Have more initial sketches from when I was developing him (this is since... 2022 gosh).

First: a time ago I used him for an old (discontinued) post-apocalyptic AU with designs inspired by hunting-scavenging clothing. A friend said he looked like Robin Hood x'D

... I almost didn't change the way I sketch digitally. Anyways. To not let this rot, you can notice I used many design cues from this one!

Then during half of the past year, I did studies of his ROTF toy because I liked how that one kept the weird silhouette of the TFA but aligned to the IDW design too!

And from there I chipped away traits and straightened others until it felt right to me.

BONUS one of the first and fastest sketches I did for him during a conversation with @goobygnarp x'D Thanks to this I not only got the courage to finish the reference but to understand WHAT design cues I wanted to keep and didn't give me too of a headache.

[ Btw that kremzeek is my rascal baby Scintilla ]

#myart #ifellinrobothellagain #marauder lockdown #maccadam #tfa lockdown #idw lockdown #character redesign #character interpretation #idk how to tag help #windy fc scintilla #that scintilla talking is very OOC but im getting used to it #anyways BE GENTLE WITH ME because i really put my whole heart on these refs orz #specially that second one with the poses to test how much i can stretch his silly body and kibble #the shoulders are still a bit hard to figure but i like them as pauldrons #... who knows probably even those are detachable hahaha #i love the idea of Lockdown's frame being SUPER adaptable #a mod and color for each ocassion like its a bowtie #worlds in my eyes

She survived something big, and when you survive something big, you are always, always aware that next time you might not.

had to do a double take, this looked so much like miller

#still stabs me in the heart randomly #i cried at work yesterday #because we had a yellow dog lol #she was not yellow due to lepto #she was yellow due to chronic liver failure #but i miss my yellow dog #miss the days before she was yellow #miss the days when she was like this #bounding lovingly towards me for a treat #not a care in the world #not a pain in her body #why couldnt she be like that for a little longer #moby #manny #dogs

It's really freeing when you learn that rationality isn't going to be feasible in the long run, not because rationality is this thing that only Truly Enlightened people get the privilege to experience, but because humans are just irrational.

You can know when you're being irrational, and sometimes, it is in big ways. But pretending like that irrationality doesn't exist or can only exist if you're "stupid" only sets you back from growing. Irrationality is part of the human condition - it is impossible to actually be this enlightened person people like to project themselves onto.

#positivity #gentle reminders #inspired because i started feeling disgusted about my HEART BEATING #but irrationality sets us apart from many other species of animals. the contradiction of the human condition is woven into us #what you do about that is recognize it and then seek to expand your world #like... it is irrational as hell to be disgusted about your own damn body and the way it functions without your dorect input but here we ar #i used to feel this pressure to never be contradictory in Any Way and to Always Be Intelligent... #...but that intelligence didn't come from a genuine understanding of the world. it came from what was just a façade... #...what did i have if not Intelligence (but not true intelligence; just the bullshit people THINK is intelligence) #in my quest to be a Better Person i ended up only dehumanizing myself and partitioning myself off into tiny little boxes #it's weird to experience that - to experience your own self being dehumanized BY YOU because you buy into what is essentially propaganda #if this doesn't make sense consider that it's Way Too Late right now and i should have been asleep over seven hours ago

Kingdom Hearts - Monstro

#kingdom hearts #kh1 #monstro #scenery #my gif #gotta love how monstro's anatomy makes zero sense #you can see his skeleton while standing inside his mouth and a route from deep within his bowels somehow also leads back to his mouth #i always thought the look of this world was really cool #the entrance with all the broken ships looks very dark and glum but the rest of these rooms are very colorful and strange looking #the walls are always moving or twitching and there's constant squishing from beneath your feet as you walk #if you stand still you can hear a faint sound of what i assume is blood rushing throughout his body #it's like a low rumbling/gushing sound that plays everywhere except in his mouth which i thought was interesting #it's all pretty nasty but cool
