#and also kind of refreshing

[shadowtraveled]

this is a largely meaningless observation but, based on the fleki uniform demonstration comic, mithrun seems to wear the default style of the canary uniform, probably because he has no desire to personalize it or preference for how to do so, etc. when he does seem to pick his own clothes, though, they don’t look super in-line with what we’re shown of elven clothing styles in his region: high collars look like they’re fairly popular with elves in general, but out of uniform he tends to be a lot more covered up than everyone else—long sleeves, long pants, boots rather than sandals, and he dresses that way both prior to getting eaten and after the events of the series. anyway it’s kind of cute that after everything that happened to him, someone cared enough to remember what his clothing preferences used to be.

#sorry my head is full of him #dungeon meshi spoilers #just mentioned. just a bit #dungeon meshi #mithrun #he’s like a case study in the problems that would Of Course arise in a society with the standards and values we frequently see in elves #in fantasy which is very refreshing because again What is with fantasy writers writing their elven societies Like That and going no they can #be weird elitists they’re hot and they’re kind of right. and leaving it at that. i mean i know why that happens but. anyway #if elves are going to be elfing in that way it’s so much more interesting to see how that manifests and affects individuals within that #culture. this was a large part of essek’s appeal to me also lmfaondns and it is why i can’t stop giving my dnd characters elf ancestry. if #you’re going to make them be fucked up let me think about the consequences !!!! but anyway yeah no mithrun gets to be on my mind 24/7 #because he Is the consequences. and it’s very good but also i am so so sad

Been a couple of years, but I still think fondly of Grace Monroe from Infinity Train for achieving that very rare redemption arc narrative of "the people you hurt are allowed to sever all ties, and you can still become a better, happier person."

#grace monroe #grace infinity train #infinity train #in a sea of demands that you must always forgive the people who hurt you no matter what #it was nice to see a plot that gave good weight to feelings and motivations on both side of the equation #hm. #come to think of it #it seems a lot of redemption arcs usually go the route #of redemption through death #or very quick if not immediate acceptance into team the people you traumatized #much more rare to see a redemption arc #where the one on the journey to redemption has to accept that at least some people they've hurt can't or won't forgive them #but that this doesn't automatically mean they can't become a kinder person #hell in grace's case it was pretty shocking/refreshing to see that it was precisely because someone set a hard no-contact boundary with her #that she lost someone she loved but still hurt #which really forced her to reconsider what she was doing #it was a true 'oh no not the quencies' kind of story #but also a 'you will accept the quencies and go forward with your life & hard gained knowledge' narrative #redemption arcs

This entire time, he's been waiting for someone to save him. His fate is in your hands, DREAMER.

barbatos letting himself be loved and cared for. barbatos letting himself be loved and cared for!!!

#obey me nightbringer #obey me barbatos #obey me #barbatos x mc #long post / #this card wasn't lore heavy like his other hard mode card from season one... but it was so GOOD? #why don't they put this energy into his cards we have to pay for? or the main story? #anyway time for some incoherent ramblings #..ngl i'm kind of obsessed with the fact that nightbringer keeps making mc trying to take care of and support barbatos just as much a theme #in at least his hard mode cards #this card and the scene from his other hard mode card where they insist he let them carry some of his bags just hit the spot so much? #and them getting mad at him in this card and them talking it out like grown ups? refreshing!! #idk . i liked this card. go read it #also he struck again with his barely concealed dressup kink. smh . embarrassing for him #not as embarrassing as mc offering both of their shoulders . but i digress

have u ever clownsidered becoming a vtuber with a model based on ur sona's jaw clench demon form

i actually already am a vtuber!! i've just been on hiatus for a loooong time bc things got too hectic to keep up a regular stream schedule. my model is just a vampire/fruit bat self-insert, tho, so it's not too different from how i draw my normal sona anyway!!

#i wanna. redo my whole model anyway #which is kind of pushing the hiatus longer bc it becomes 'well if i've been gone for a year anyway i might as well just refresh + redebut' #this is the danger of pngtubing/doing everything urself lmao #if u dont have a big expensive model that cost a bajillion dollars it's way too tempting to be like. but what if i just. made a new one #but also by redo i just mean freshen up and make nicer! i like my design im gonna keep it mostly as is

recent sketches

#genshin impact #this is not related at all #but my twitter algorithm handed me that one shadow scene from sonic prime where he gets the tech thing in his mouth #and i'm not really in that fandom but boy am i suddenly interested #i mean the fight scene was cool. yeah. #also it's SO refreshing to draw characters that have clean silhouettes and designs #compared to genshin where outfits are kind of a hot mess #anyways i have time to finish some wips so hopefully i will post more this month haha

The plot of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is actually better than original plot, by a large margin

#not only did we get so much more ramona screentime & growth but I actually really liked that everyone lived & changed & grew #also the handling of scott & ramona's relationship feels way more healthy. also the show was SO QUEER omg it was great #I love roxie lmao shame she & kim didn't work out. wallace was kind of a bigger scumbag but I loved him finding his own sparkle at the end #also julie? me. I look similar & constantly swear constantly. she was hilarious & her x gordon was really funny #ramona's green hair look is what I wish my hair always looked like. OH ALSO RAMONA CHOOSING HERSELF? I LOVED IT #but yeah like. this rewrite helped the story age better imo. appreciate all the constant criticism of scott dating a high schooler in his #20s like finally it's addressed as fucked. lucas lee tho lmao “she's actually 31!” #anyway excellent show 10/10 animation was so fluid. the art style matched the comic perfectly. the story was a fun & refreshing spin #scott pilgram takes off #scott pilgram vs the world #scott pilgrim #ramona flowers #tc posts

i finally got the time to watch love is better the second time around and im not at all shocked that im obsessed with the adult second chance at love jbl - have you met me.

but it also needs to be known that shiraishi is my beloved, the actor plays this role so perfectly and i want my bitchy sad gay to find true love

#love is better the second time around #also i adore the mains a whole fucking lot #iwagawa is the perfect mix of pathetic and desperate veiled in cocky and sophisticated #and miyata’s character is just a gem like the way he has transformed from his younger self is so refreshing to see #like this is a kid that was so pure and sweet and open and when he believed that all got trampled on he didn’t let it go to the extreme of #becoming hard and emotionless instead he really has just matured into an adult that actually cares for and values himself #like that hurt made him feel worthless but now he knows he isn’t worthless #like he internalised it through the way he protects himself from others but he does it both to not feel that hurt again but also bc he #thinks well of himself and i just adore the fact we get to see a timid kid grow into someone with self-respect it’s so cool and refreshing #and even when it comes at his detriment bc he won’t let himself believe iwagawa is being honest or that he’s ever been - that it’s all just #a joke or teasing or whatever it’s not frustrating bc you both get where it comes from but also feel like you can support him pushing him #away bc he does it for himself and for the person he’s become #so like… to watch a show where you’re both deeply rooting for the couple but also support when they push each other away… idk how they did #it but they did. the premise is simple and the show is simple but every moment and interaction is electric and thrilling and that’s the kind #of show i love. one that can convey how seemingly interactions are full of tension and stakes for these people. it’s so hard to convey that #but this show nails it and i just can’t get enough now.

ok but My Adventures with Superman is SO GOOD THOUGH? like. sobbing on the floor, squeeing and screaming good????? this is a dc show that both knows dc and specifically KNOWS SUPERMAN. everything about it is so schmoopy and soft and dramatic and dire and silly and just ugh. I love it.

I'm so happy this show exists, I'm so happy we're getting a season 2 im so excited to see brainiac and whoever else they decide to bring in just AAAA

#my adventures with superman #the characters are written so well #everything works abd makes sense #the way the villains are so far all tech based is also an interesting spin #it makes clarks powers stand out as actively strange and speciakl #and it means that whenever we eventually get villains with real powers theyll be more of a threat #mxy was kind of the setup for that #eeeeee im so happy to have a superman cartoon written by people who actually understand clark as a character #i grew up on bruce timm who clearly hates clark so its just so refreshing #along with how soft and cute and silly the show is 80% of the time #ITS REALLY GOOD OK.

the incomparable madi @missmaywemeetagain asked for a further explanation of my tags on this post, and when she asks, i deliver...

this is an excerpt from elvis up close: in the words of those who knew him best (which i highly recommend btw !) it's a series of interviews w various family, friends, and neighbors of the presleys, collated to follow the narrative of his life, and it has tons of stories id never heard before, including this one:

"you never told that fucker you liked something or he'd hand it to you" is perhaps the most apt description ive read of elvis yet, and it hasn't left my mind in days 😂

#mine #to be fair i havent finished the book yet #but farons stories are thus far some of my favorites #bc he speaks about elvis in the kind of rough-and-tumble way a true friend would #all of his stories have been deeply affectionate and also refer to elvis as 'the little fucker' #so peak dynamic right there already #its refreshing to hear from someone who was exposed to es talent so early and yet remained so casual with him

thank u for all your farcille comics but especially the one about the microwave. it was one of the first things me and my now-girlfriend bonded over when we first met and helped lead to us becoming friends and then girlfriends. and now we clap for each other every time we stop the microwave on 1.

TL;DR your microwave comic basically got us together if you round up so thanks!

!!¡?#$%&?¡¿¡!thats so fucking cute but you should thank charlottan for making the og post instead!!!!! i just plastered a silly drawing on it

i really didknt even think much when i made it but im kind of moved that it could help on develop something like this, as silly as that contribution may be . so yeas. peace and love on earth and girls kissing forever and such

#also sorry for the inactivity.. #im taking time w my art on other mediums because is kind of whay im needing rn #doing that also helps me to refresh digital art #looking at it in other ways #idk #its part of the process #but i see all the messages like these and get moved quite a bit even though im not responding #ill get to it but my minds kind of wherever rn #u can tell by the length of the tags teehe #but yea:)

red white and royal blue was so cheesy and predictable I enjoyed it thoroughly. making banal queer romantic comedies is hard but necessary work

#sooner or later we'll start getting them with lesbians too *shakes fist in determination* imagine #nor's rambles #ALTHOUGH it would be refreshing to get a film that does not hit all these romantic comedy beats #or that would be a romantic comedy but actually good. like palm springs but gay. the big sick but gay #WHEN HARRY MET SALLY BUT GAY although that really hits the beats ahgvadhbfds #also personally i like queer stories that don't give much attention to labels and such. i think those are really important too #it's one of the reasons i'm not the biggest fan of hearstop*per (censoring so it doesn't go into the tag to ruin people's fun) #because i feel like it's just taking all the letters from the LGBTQIA and assigning each character with a letter #which is not wrong in any way and once again i am older than the intended audience it's not For Me #but i am often left craving something sort of... less defining. more free. more just being what you are and doing what you do #kind of like.. something done for the sake of the story and the art instead of just representation for the sake of representation??? #that is important too!! but kinda craving stuff for us who don't really like labels as well???

Fireafy shower thoughts that I realized for this story I'm trying to write #1

I remembered that Firey gave / built Leafy an whole ass ferris wheel for her twice

Now of course, the ferris wheel would lead to the downfall of the two, but ya know, for just for a friend... that seems like a big ass gift and work for just a pal Like Firey doesn't do anything similarly big to any for his other close friends

:thinking:

YES OH MY GOD I THINK ABOUT THIS SO MUCH… and the end part about how firey doesn’t do stuff like that for his other friends… have you ever thought about who his actual friends are? just think about it… everyone he associated with in bfdi were almost just acquaintances… he was super focused on challenges and usually worked more independently when he had the chance He didn’t really make time for friends and stuff.. he had minor friendships with certain people but he mainly stuck to his objective of winning dream island whereas leafy liked to work with people during challenges that didn’t require teamwork (like ice cube and sometimes bubble) or random people she would help during challenges) if you think about it hard enough… leafy was fireys only true friend (at least in bfdi)!!! she was the only one to establish a friendship with firey and it seemed like firey needed that push to see someone as a real friend instead of a fellow competitor (or enemy LOL). she was the only one he ever really stood up for he really really saw her as a friend he has never done any of that for anyone else before either (at least up until then) and he also changed his challenge strategy of independence with her at least a couple times… he stuck with her through the challenge in bfdi 20 (for as long as he could…) and occasionally stuck with her through bfdi 23. firey also really passionately defended her and demanded for her to be back when she died and announcer told him that he sold the recovery centers. and yeah of course the ferris wheel GAH but you already mentioned that! and of course firey saving leafy from her punishment of what they thought would be permanent death even tho they were punishing her for something she did mainly to firey … but to wrap up my point! firey has never expressed compassion the same way he has for leafy with anyone else. she was his only true friend in bfdi she was like the only one he ever really had to consider a friend for that whole season of competition … of course there’s much more to discuss for later seasons but i’ve been typing for like over 30 minutes now so i’m gonna quit HAHAHA SORRYYY there are so many words i am really enthusiatic about them

#ALSOOO i’m still working on that fireafy video essay thing #production on it has just kind of paused since school started again but i’m planning on working on it this weekend #i REALLY wanna get it done … i’m so excited about this project man AAHH i spent like 10 hours on the fireafy timeline of their major intera #ctions and ljke 2 hours proof watching everything and another 2 hours taking notes from the show and past rambles #and i spent now over 20 hours for a drawing that’s semi related to the video? i’m just gonna use the speed paint of it for filler when #talking about something that’ll take too much effort to get clips for Or something AND FOR THE YOUTUBE THUMBNAIL PROBABLY #ANWAYSSS i’m forever fireafys biggest fan #YIKES. THIS IS SO MANY WORDS. someone call the yap police #joyjibberjabber #ALSO there might be more stuff i’m missing? or forgetting? i need to rewatch bfdi i need the refresher

[poorlydrawnjoey]

as someone who has a history with denying their gender identity and trying to be "normal" despite VERY clearly knowing what they want, seeing a character who is actually repressive and in denial about their sexuality means the world to me. I love you girl I hope you get through this.

[Joey Claire sitting grumpily with a ripped up lesbian flag behind her]

#poorlydrawnjoey #hiveswap #hiveswap fanart #joey claire #emotional? lmk if there's any sort of tw I should add idk what to label this with #this post goes out to the queers in denial <3 #Ok ok ok but seriously she's like my favorite queer rep ever and homestuck in general is good with this ITS NOT JUST ABOUT THE FLUFF OR ROM #NCE IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE SELF LOATHING THAT COMES FROM THE FEAR OF NOT BEING ACCEPTED AND LOVED THE WAY YOU ARE #refreshing your outlook on society and the way the world is supposed to work by getting rid of society and the world in question and puttin #the responsibility of rebuilding it all on you #the question of “what kind of world do you want to leave behind for the future" and how it compares to the world you were forced to grow up #in- ok that's enough out of me hope you all have a nice day!!

so . object head personas am i right

#we talked about this in the tmi discord server and i could not get the idea out of my head #also drawing a sona with my actual irl body type and a cane was incredibly refreshing tbh #i struggle with body image stuff so being able to look at a character that’s me with my own body type and go ‘wow they look cool’ sparks joy #anyways tag ramble over time for actual tags #nebs.txt #neb’s art #persona #object head #flip phone #okay tag ramble not over i lied #i went for like a . 2000’s pastel mall goth vibe. bc that’s the kind of vibe i want to give off #did i hit it? idk lol but i had fun and that’s what matters :jermapose:
