the trouble with being the one who survives is you must keep on doing it

inspired directly by @onionninjasstuff 's heart wrenching comic of Future Donnie's death (read it!!)

#my art #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #future donnie #future mikey #future leo #still not a million percent happy with the formating #but this is prolly the closest thing to a 'polished comic' ive made yet #think it wound up more like an 'emotional equivilant of a toddler kicking u in the shins' rather than 'steel bat to the knees' but eh #shrugs #at this point ive stared at it for too long so bam onto the internet it goes #also lmao i was just having fun w leos arm #and i knew it was super not even close to how his canon proesthetic looked #but i was just having fun w the mechanical nonsense #and then later i was like ah shit what color are his pants again lemme go watch a clip and check #and wouldnt ya know it i flipped the colors on his arm too #i think i actually prefer canons green shoulder w red bicep/band butttt #we can say this is an older prototype arm #which would mean donnie mustve left him a shiny new arm #that he'll never get to hear a speech mode ramble explination of #:') #u ever just think about how grief is this thing you have to take with you #its not just something you can walk away from not just an event that happens #its perpetual and part of you now #like its every time you go to make an immediate inside joke but theres no one there to share it #its every question you never got to ask and every new question you never will #every task you must reassign #every doubt that goes unreassured #its a silence that you bring with you to every room #haunting is so selfmade and i love it so much

Sorry I forgot Hanneman suggested Byleth undress after they show up with a different hair color. And I miss Hanneman. And also while swapping between Houses and Hopes and seeing Hanneman pop up to help in a Hopes paralogue is just devastating since he doesn't ever actually join you at all and I am denied my old man rights.

So I had to draw this. Thank you for understanding.

#fe three houses #byleth #hanneman von essar #i like that Byleth just kinda stares at him and he realizes WHAT HE SAID and the implications and is like #step back uh forget that I said that #like man so zoned in on research he blurts that out and has to backtrack mentally to AH socially bad to say that my bad #if i need to tag this as anything lemme know even though it is a conversation in game basically (minus the marriage) #also if you have never married hanneman i genuinely enjoyed his s support and was VERY surprised and hes just #honestly one of my favorites overall in 3h ?? and im still bummed i cant play as him in thropes like thats just mean #also i think if byleth was like oh well if its awkward to see someone undress randomly #then marriage would solve the awkwardness this is truly the best deduction #which is really funny that i can see it happening with both leths despite my hc of them #with fyleth as bi and myleth as ace i think both would just be like AH cool we can avoid awkwardness by marriage #and hanneman just wants to go lie down in a ditch because he said something like that #and and byleth doesnt even know about religion while working at church school they dont know about school regulations #that wasnt really on their mind to check ok just saying you could tell byleth no to something #and then they just go oh school policies i understand unfortunately #and the person is like no we just meant its frowned upon to do archery practice in the tea garden its not technically illegal just dont??

yea i very much agree with ur take on sollux in his relation to older technology, u get it

please id love if youd share some more of ur analysis on his character (as well as ur art bc that shit is 👌👌👌)

either way, thanks for feeding my brain worms

im glad it resonated!! :') always happy to explore his character, he contains multitudes!!!

i think i may be out of sollux analysis for now, in the sense where i don't have anything new to add that hasn't already been covered in these posts? (please add if there's more...)

why i like sollux (lackadaisicallexicon, 2014)

comprehensive sollux status guide (syblatortue, 2016)

bioware machine (lime-bloods, 2016)

fridgestuck (LaureledEevees, 2017)

mary sue (3d-gla22e2, 2019)

favorite sollux trait (3d-gla22e2, 2020)

doom-bound static (gendertrickster, 2023)

however i will say there's another thing i really like abt him:

his Range!

he has a v flexible face.. even with his neutral expression, you cant help but read a tinge of melancholy/pensiveness to it.

he deters people from getting too comfortable with him by acting crude, but no matter how unapproachable he looks you can't help but wonder if he's ok. seems like he's never content with himself.

just like karkat, anger gives him purpose = something to care about & react to. without it he can appear aimless/uncertain.

it's especially interesting when you compare him to aradia, who despite having endured a lot of shit, ends up enjoying the freedom of expanding her worldview, riding the unpredictable tide of the narrative and observing the changes. sollux... doesn't.

he doesn't like watching major things progress in a way he can't predict. the lack of certainty actually overwhelms him.

and it's pretty clear why; imagine the only reassurance you get after unknowingly killing ur gf is that "it needed to happen". the only way to appease that sort of emotional turmoil is by intellectualizing those events as inevitable and out of your control.

(hs, A6I5)

when you’re just a tool for the author, trying to sit out is just feeble self-preservation until you’re needed again. if you’re not called on stage to help/assist in some way, it feels like your presence spells doom (either you or someone else will get hurt). so you avoid Events as best you can.

#ask #anon #homestuck #sollux captor #2023 #vioart #i love expressive characters eheh my fave emotions to draw are actually anger and incredulity. vry cathartic for me #im also super relieved the prev analysis was received well ngl it was like. splitting my chest open it was . very personal #largely bcs my appreciation of him is weirdly abstract? seems as if i had to come up w sm conceptual meaning just to say i like his vibe #but rlly i was just working backwards frm that conclusion like wow this character looks cool lemme think harder abt why i like it #i may have sounded a bit callous too.. but truly he is 1 of my top 3 faves alongside karkat & aradia. i brain them regularly in rotation

[strigital]

just... him... 🥺

#received his letter and lemme just say ayo what #mans basically acknowledged his feelings and im just #also yall notice how he comments on always expecting the worst so that he either turns out right or is pleasantly surprised? #our mans garrus said the same shit to femshep!!! #now i am convinced 1000% that he is in fact an easter egg #which is ironic cause he once was an egg #so anyways #i crave this man carnally and literally NEED to read fanfics where he lets the vestige touch him for the first time as a sign of utter trust #and then it escalates if ya kno what i mean wink wink #alas ao3 is BARREN when it comes to sharp content #woe be upon us sharp stans!! #anyways... off i got to do some dailies to make my lizard babey happy and mayhaps finally receive him as a guest #mans deserves to retire in a nice lil home on a picturesque shore #*sighs dreamily* #elder scrolls online #eso #zenimax #bethesda #sharp as night #argonian #def not garrus vakarian in a disguise #my art #sketch #traditional sketch #ballpoint sketch #oc #bosmer #ilandris the magpie #i am completely normal about the fact #that he used his OWN feather for the lure he gives us (which is basically a proposal as far as I'm concerned!)

Back in Far Harbor gang… I get they probably didn’t want to extend a cutscene where the player had no control out too long, but I do wish in the Acadia meeting that you can eavesdrop on they brought up Nick 😭 but they do Not so here’s me making up scenarios. The Usual. 😏

#my art #described #fallout 4 #dima #fallout 4 dima #nick valentine #also like the idea that Nick & Dima have internal fans and when they get Super Emotional u just hear WRRRRRRRRRRRRRR WHDBDJ #also playing with the idea that po is a psyker/has a ‘sight’ equivalent that’s. essentially just in-game save-scumming LMAO #rly hoping that’s not an idea I’m accidentally stealing from someone. PLS lemme know if someone else has used that and I just Forgot 😭 #but ye essentially when faced with the more decisive moments. Po might just pass out and ‘experience’ all of the options - #- (akin to garnets future vision in SU I’d say!) and that helps him determine the best path forward #thought sometimes when it’s a smaller decision he doesn’t pass out. just experiences some light fatigue and then - #- ‘oh ya btw that trunk is trapped. yea you’ll get blowed up if you just open it.’ ‘…. well thanks for relaying that .0001 seconds before- #-I opened it PO.’ #but anyway. all that to say that’s what Nick’s referring to when he said po probably ‘saw’ it and then encouraged the path #po meanwhile is upstairs looking through faraday’s diary - I mean uhhhhhhhhhh the other secret stuff. def not his diary #anyway. DiMA’s not biological but there is an importance to him to him and Nick’s relationship. he’s stupid protective of Nick - #- who probably doesn’t appreciate being the ‘little’ brother all that much. but that’s just how DiMA’s rationalized their ‘roles’ #I just like em hehe

i understand people having mixed opinions on the first story but, my god, i need people to finish watching the full amanda arasha reddit stories so they can experience the full descent into delirium by all three that eventually ends in like 20 minutes of this

energy.

and also arasha and amanda being so affectionate and touchy throughout :] (and also unhinged)

#at the end amanda is like WHO KNEW ARASHA AND I WOULD BE LIKE THIS and lemme just say as someone who was excited about this pairing. #even i didnt know the extent of how fun it would be #smosh #amanda lehan canto #arasha lalani #smosh mouth #shayne topp #amanrasha #amarasha #arashmanda #also they were SO affectionate throughout and so damn funny

btas batquinn height difference hits different sometimes<3

in the like first glance he looks like the deadly one (but ya know no kill rule), the one with a serious ledger of bodies, and she's comedic relief and is there to lighten up scenes but really she's got more red in her history than he has enemies, has almost fed him alive to fish and is one of the most deadly gymnasts he's ever met<33

and just both their civilian selves<33333 Brucie obviously knows who she is but he's not Batman and yet he Still catches her, asks if she's okay, spends the whole day risking danger just to try n reason with her, is understanding with her when trying to get her to come out of the dressing room

like his face ????? and he's just so content and happy hearing her talk about improving and getting rehabilitated cause he cares cause Batman Cares

#emphasis on Gymnast #not just someone with ridiculous acrobatic ability lol #Also lemme say rn as a solid 5'0 gal DON'T BE FUCKING WEIRD #some of y'all make m/f height differences into something inherently perverted and weird and it's exhausting #sometimes people have height differences because wow people are different heights #btas #harley quinn #harleen quinzel #dc comics #batquinn #batman #bruce wayne

Cooking and baking

A small pet peeve of mine with cooking and baking is when recipes say the container rather than the amount

Like, instead of saying "500ml of cream" you say "a pot of cream". Or "a whole can of corn". Like okay which kind of can??? What amount???? Corn comes in more than one size you can't just tell me a can. PLEASE i am begging you tell me the WEIGHT

This is especially a problem with recipes from different countries, for example America. Because your stick of butter is different to our butter. STOP SAYING STICK OF BUTTER TELL ME THE QUANTITY IN GRAMS PLEASE I HAVE A FAMILY

that being said I feel like I see this crop up in like american recipes in particular. Idk if I've ever seen a recipe in one of our cookbooks that does this....

anyway please just tell me the gosh darn weight I am dying here I have a family I JUST NEED TO KNOW THE WEIGHT

#ramble post #randy rambles #recipes #cooking #baking #'a stick of butter' is the worst for repeat offender i see that crap everywhere in american recipes #JUST SAY THE AMOUNT #like even if a recipe here uses 250g of butter (our butter is in 250g idk what size american butter is) IT SAYS USE 250G OF BUTTER #actually tbf i think butter size is not something thats like fully conventional cuz i just googled lurpack and it says that one is 200g #fun fact our butter isnt a long weird stick like americans. why is your butter like that that looks awful to get on a knife to spread #ours is still rectangular its just like more square #ALSO LIKE IDM CUPS. I have measuring cups that have cups AND ml. I WOULD GLADLY TAKE MEASURING IN CUPS OVER 'STICK OF BUTTER' 'CAN OF CORN' #also for the record what spurred this on is i asked someone for their recipe of something and half the stuff is quantified in this way. #'1 box jiffy cornbread mix' what the frick is that please i have a family #like no hate to them lemme be clear but also WHY ARE AMERICAN RECIPES LIKE THIS IM CRYING #i could be wrong that its just american recipes but i SWEAR ive never seen this in any of our british cookbooks but everytime i try and loo #up an american recipe online or ask an american friend for a recipe they give me quantities like this and im over here quietly dying as i #try and decipher what the frick they just told me to use. what is going on why are recipes there like this #(also idk if they do it for cream i just wanted to give an example that wasnt just can of corn or can of soup) #(SOUP AND CORN COME IN MULTIPLE CAN SIZES YOURE HELPING NOBODY SAYING JUST 'A CAN')

#nosepass #never been a huge fan of this guy but y'know. iiii've never seen anyone who is. i don'tknow if it's this one or probopass that has the like #compass functionality where they're always facing north for some reason. but i think this thing is like a fucking steel-type which is insane #ok. i was like. wrong about all of that. this one is a ROCK-type #and it is also the one that always faces north. probopass must be where it gains a steel-typing (and i think that's also a retrofit evo?) #(in liiike gen 4?) i dunno y'all pokémon is so fragmented #i looked it up and it said something about people of hisui figuring out that it always faces north and i'm wondering if that wasn't canon #until. legends arceus. but i don't think that's true?? if it actually wasn't until like gen 9 and i remember it as a long-standing fact then #that's. a little bit funny. lemme look up its older pokédex entries #ok no cool we've been saying that since gen 3 awesome. hi it's me from not the future but actually the present. i just edited shiftry's tags #to cut out a lot of the bullshit cleanup that i had in these tags. wow! see you in natdex 300 #↑ this is a reference to the uh. tags that i cut out. a reference only i will get………

Okay guys, hear me out:

Sea Serpent Hobie!!!

Sea Serpent Hobie who sinks any superyachts he comes across!

Sea Serpent Hobie who uses harpoon spears meant to kill him as piercings! And old anchor chains as jewelry!

Sea Serpent Hobie who attacks big commercial fishing boats that are destroying the ecosystem by overfishing

But also benign Sea Serpent Hobie, who aids those lost at sea!

Who helps smaller local fishing buisnesses with sustainable fishing

Who looks out for this small fishing community and in return they warn him whenever hunters show up in the area!

Sea Serpent Hobie who is huge but still manages to hide perfectly in the kelp forests!

Who has bioluminescence and uses it both to terrify enemies and as a way to calm down people in distress, as a way for him to signal goodwill - and to show off when he feels like it!

Who can change his pigmentation similarly to octopi to communicate his mood and feelings! Or just to blend in with his surroundings (also as a nod to the way he changes filters in the movie!)

Sea Serpent Hobie who's frequently seen swimming with whale pods- Orcas being his favourites to hang out with (they sometimes go on yacht sinking trips together)

Sea Serpent Hobie who likes to give people a show and will show off by breaching right next to unsuspecting boats

DO YOU SEE MY VISION?!??

SEA SERPENT HOBIE!!!!!!💙💙💙

#god I really wanna draw him now! #alas my artistic skills are not great to say the least lol #the idea just won't leave my mind! #idk in my mind he kinda looks like a mermaid crossed with a serpent a whale and an eel #he still has a mostly humanoid face and upper body but with features of the creatures I mentioned above #and also I imagine he's pretty big lol #like meduim to large whale sized big #at least that's how I pictue him but I'd love to hear you guys's interpretation of him! <3 #I love this au so much already it's such a fun concept for him! #I'm sure you could expand on it and fit other spider people into this au as well! #like maybe Gwen is the daughter of a fisherman and Hobie saves her after their boat capsizes or something #but lemme know if you guys have any ideas for this au as well! #this is a brand new au that I literally just came up with so it's not that well developed yet #so any input is very welcome! <3 #there are so many cool possibilities! #I'm unironically so hyped about this ngl! #I keep comming up with more ideas as I write this but I'm gonna try and limit myself for now lol #sea serpent hobie #hobie brown #spider punk #spiderverse #across the spider verse #atsv #across the spiderverse #across the spider verse au #spiderman across the spider verse #my post #my au
