at first i was like mmmmmmm idk about this new scrappy skinny scrawny Jim Kirk but as I think about it as resident JTK expert (Phd) I am coming around to the accuracy of post-Tarsus massacre Commander Kirk desperate to embrace the fleeting impermance of happiness by embodying compassion (towards Uhura and La'an) and appreciation for transient silly pleasures (like cookies or hotdogs) AS WELL AS being actively hypervigilant towards his own & other's safety (La'an, The Enterprise vs the Romulans, Uhura) as a trauma response towards the horrors of genocide he experienced first hand.

Also his devil-may-care mien & deep respect towards command in TOS is replaced by a somewhat less likeable ambition to succeed in SNW... another off-shoot to this trauma. We see he has a desire to climb towards rank (for control & protection) yet does not fully embody the ability to handle it with the grace needed to become the legend just yet.

also I've ended up liking the inversion of TOS physical physique that SNW gives us with a more muscular/appearance-oriented (anxious) Spock & a small scrappy (traumatized) Jim ... it appears to be well thought out & a stepping stone to their eventual comfortable self-actualizations in TOS.

#strange new worlds #jim kirk #james t kirk #spock #spirk #star trek #teeny waif jim and buff spock a whole new dynamique to their decades long relationship #im like wow i didnt think i could like them more but here i an #am #the idea of them relaxing their paranoias over time and becoming who they are comfortable and strong and sharp #alongside their crew #👌 #relaxing exhausting standards of perfection and learning safety and security #👏 #it really speaks to how much they meant to one another

Do you have any tips on drawing the Swatchlings?

frankly i am happy that i have gotten good enough at drawing these bird boys (gender neutral) that someone wants my opinions. anyway

i see a lot of fun ways to draw swatchlings tbh and i don't really know what you want tips on Specifically so i will just make notes on a few of the main things i think about when i draw them, most importantly: just make them bitches broad and fluffy, man. they're all canonically Ripped, but an important thing to remember is that they are likely completely covered in feathers! that's going to smooth out those muscular details, so you wont be able to see them, just the broadness of them.

my style is all based in gesture and shapes, so i use a lot of blocks so they look nice 'n sturdy. it's okay if you don't nail the anatomy on the sketch, i am constantly nudging things around all the way into the coloring phase trying to get the shapes right. frankly i would probably bulk out even this Example Bird if i were drawing them all the way. i usually add more fluff or muscle or chub or whatever when i detail them but the absolute bare bones of them is dedicated to blockie

i give mine these sort of vestigial wings on their arms to make them look softer, and i think about how feathers move and stick out on real birds to help inform how they'll sit on these birds, too. and i carry the soft, pointed feather shapes into the fingers so they also look soft.

tip for drawing Soft: don't get caught up making too many individual strands or feathers, soft things tend to come together in big tufts. you want big gentle shapes, not a bunch of little ones. unless you want your bird to look wet or scared in which case you're doing a great job and you've probably just drawn spamton instead

their faces are really tricky so i think of them as these kinda... non-euclidean semi-hollow pentagonal cones. there's five "planes" with the top two dedicated to eyes and the bottom three dedicated to mouth placement. sometimes you can see the far eye even though, in real life, you would not be able to see that "plane" of their face. you don't always have to understand things sometimes they just look cool, especially when characters are cybernetic birds made out of Magical Darkness. there is no rule about when to draw one or two eyes. it's just whatever looks better.

biggest and bestest tip of all about drawing swatchlings! very important! write this one down in your most favorite gel pen and Really Big! give them either tails, or tail coats. i don't care that canon has neither, canon is wrong. you can switch it out, even - my birds have tail coats as part of their standard uniforms but they can wear their real tails out on special occasions.

lastly, if you want to stick closer to a canon interpretation, i would not try to make the birds too unique, when they're on the job anyway - they like being coordinated! tasque manager is very particular about keeping them coordinated as well. but if you just want to have fun then you can make your birds as fun and unique as you want :) even though i draw them all about the same i personally love love love seeing super funky swatchling designs, making them different colors and species and such.

course summary:

make them Large. make them Fluffy. use really broad, blocky shapes and draw big, thick tufts of feathers instead of trying to detail them too much.

their heads are silly magic nonsense. draw a triangle and get funky with it. no rules, only vibes. if it vibes it stays

they always need some kind of tail or tail equivalent and i don't care what Anybody else says

if you want to follow canon, draw all the birds except swatch just about the same. if you're just here for a good time, throw that out completely and have fun with it.

#deltarune #swatch #swatchlings #tutorial #art #ask #anonymous #anon #and now everyone knows about the funny little flap birds have on the back of their pants to fit their tails through #i have explicitly gotten better at broader bodytypes just by drawing birds and i am thankful for it every day #i guess there's some other smaller stuff like i try to make their uniforms more on the fitted side #because the birds apparently like to be Looked At and be Showoffs so fitted uniforms are better for that #but im not sure if my style is detailed enough for that to come through on anybody but swatch #specifically tailored their vest to accentuate the Donbonhonkeros 👌👌👌 #aaand it's okay if they lean a little more chubby than tanky sometimes because practical muscle and fat can look a lot alike #but either way those feathers are gonna smooth out those shapes #and they're wearing many layers of clothes on top of that! #once again i am not the Utmost Authority On Birds and this is just some stuff *i* think about when i draw them #if anybody does it differently or You want to do anything differently that's totally okie dokie :)

forever going to be bitter about the fact we didn't get more of anakin displaying absolutely insane levels of Force power in canon material

like i'm talking 'jean grey in x-men 2 holding back the floods after the dam burst' style displays of power

#reading tcw gambit stealth with anakin holding back the theta storm by himself and its like #oh thats right this dude is supposed to be crazy powerful lmao #but we hardly ever get to see it ... Mortis arc my beloved for at lwast giving me crumbs . #and that 1 scene in owk show where he pulls the ship down 😙👌 mwah #anyway . i think im gonna end up writing that scene from x-men as a star wars fic now lmaooo #star wars #anakin skywalker

So. between

- Marisha explaining Laudna's feelings about her friends banding together to help her with the "no one wants to be anyone else's problem" "she was kind of everyone else's problem for a good minute",

- Sam talking about FCG's trepidation over realizing they're alive with "its more of a responsibility to be someone whose life matters" "it feels almost in a way, easier to take care of other people or think that that's your role in life",

there are some absolutely delightful themes and thoughts being explored this campaign that im very partial to and im so fucking thrilled but also like. hot damn. yowch. shit. too real

#i finished watching the 4sd kind of. ish. multitasked it to hell but its fine. man. love these kinds of themes especially though #critical role #4 sided dive #4sde8 #marisha ray #sam riegel #laudna #fcg #character meta #narrative meta #like not to Meta In My Own Tags but i do think self sacrifice and selflessness as traits can often be idolized in media #and i have a VERY PARTICULAR fondness towards stories that recognize the bravery and kindness and well intent in selflessness #and also recognize the- selfishness and self protection and deflection that can carry with it #like both of these themes are just so 👌👌👌 god im happy about that #spar speaks

Your spidersteph post makes me wonder which bats should get which Marvel roles; Bruce as Iron Man is just the obvious choice (I mean; genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and just. bottom) but I’m not sure about everyone else, I kinda want Duke as either Captain Marvel or Nova, mostly because idk how their powers work, but they are shiny and they have flashy costumes.

See this is difficult bc marvel and dc characters are just built different so it's hard to say which dc character would go into a marvel role bc none of them fit it's like trying to fit a circle into a square like even with spidersteph it was more like steph just felt right to have spidy powers nothing about her actually fits the spider story it's more vibe and what feels right if these two characters were combinded together so with that in mind

Bruce definitely wouldn't be iron man they have cosmetic similarities sure but that is it - controversial opinion but I think Bruce would better fit with doctors doom

Dick I think he could work supper well as Jessica Jones

Cass daredevil literally easiest one on this list tell me you don't see it

Jason I am going with the obvious choice bc they do kinda just meld well together and this list is already difficult enough so winter soilder (tho ngl tempted to give him spider gwen for a hot minute)

Tim this one both feels easy and wrong but its the best I can currently do and thats Kate Bishop hawkeye

Duke Peter quill star Lord and this is were I remind everyone I am talking about the 616 universe the comics not the mcu

Damian Laura kinney x 23 wolverine I'm doing this more for damian he'd love having knife hands

#ask #leafbracer98 #i already wanna change like all my answers #but nope sticking with this #but yeah #it obviously doesnt work #and wouldnt work #if your just thinking of it as #marvel characters with a different custom skin #you have to think about it a bit more from #how these characters would affect these roles #like bruce still being all the batkids dad #im finding it really hard to articulate #i hope some of you get were im coming from #but yeah ngl this 👌 close to making bruce charles bc you know taking in a fuck ton of kids would make this all so much easier #but it just didnt feel right #somehow victor feels more right

Somebody needs to stop me

I was thinking of like a missing persons Au

Where grian starts out with like a bakery or something along the lines of that with taurtis

And when his friend goes missing mysteriously (that friend being taurtis) he becomes like some sort of detective or like a conspiracy theorist trying to get his friend back

Later on he eventually finds taurtis but under a new name Joeyish and bro has no clue what happened nor does he even remember grian

So now with joeyish's messed up memory and grian's theories they have to figure out what happened in that time between

#taurtis #grian #joeyish #it was a mistake giving me the ability to think #what do yall think ??? #im about 👌 this close to making like a full blown au for this lol #i need to be shot on sight

I wanna try making a fastener for attaching my can tab chain to Jackie out of can tabs, but in a way that'll let me take off as much metal as possible when needed to wash it 🤔🤔🤔

#im thinking can tab fish hooks but #i dont wanna be impaled #while making it or in the future you get me? #and having fishhooks sewn to them seems #counterintuitive perhaps #safety pins arent cutting it longterm though #one end already fell off despite being pinned to it threefold #and even though the other end is still working #i dont like the swinging chain #it needs to be more secure #punk diy #diy punk #advice and/or ideas would be appreciated👌

the natsuyuu manga is so funny the volume will be like "natsume grapples with his desire for unconditional love versus his fear of burdening those around him, knowing the more he opens his heart to the people he cares about the more he stands to lose if something goes wrong; these people are the warmest he's ever known and he's the happiest he's ever been and that scares him because he can't shake the feeling that it's fleeting and fragile and could all disappear at any moment, so all he can do is fight to protect everything he loves and hope one day he'll deserve the precious happiness he's been given here"

and then the blurb on the back is like "natsume climbs up into the attic to look for some books, but... uh oh... is that a... g-g-g-ghost??!? things are about to get freaky deaky in here if he doesn't do something... quick!!! will natsume be able to handle it before the clock strikes thirteen, or will he become... gulp... the ghost's next meal?!?"

#always gives me a little heehee chuckle after the Emotional Damage inflicted by the story #just finished vol 11 uuuuuuu........ the one where he goes to visit his parents' old home uuuuuuuu......... #it was the first episode to make me cry when i watched the anime but i didn't this time #i did tear up at the end tho when natsume asks to retake the family photo with sensei in it this time 😭😭😭 #like stopppppppppp im gonna die #retag later #ny blogging #moment was ruined when i turned the page and fuckin Matoba was there like WHO ASKED U KGJSLDKSDKGN #(lil mini drawings after every chapter. the theme this vol was characters when they were younger and. matoba & natori were up next ig) #it's fine there were already other parts of the manga that made me cry that didn't in the anime #like when the little fox travels all the way out to see natsume again and finds him having fun w his friends #and loses courage and walks away thinking ''i guess the one who was really lonely this whole time was me...'' #AND THEN natsume finds them anyway and asks for directions to their forest so he can come visit next time LIKE COME ONNNNNNNNN #the natsume observation logs are everything 2 me u hear me EVERYTHING #main character from other characters' pov is ALWAYS 1000/10 good shit 👌👌👌 #i wanna get to nishimura and kitamoto's chapters again rhrngnghrnggh vibrates in chair #cant be doing this again Except That I Can #where are my boys.

i need perfume blogs to follow im lacking enrichment it has become my dominant personality trait >_< and the fragrantica forums are too dry like im still in there every day but the old biddies get mad at you for asking about slutty scents . like dont tell me they dont exist ladies

#im not sure if the posts got taken down but twice ive seen a woman actively requesting whorish fragrances and always someones in there like #mods!!! shes using anti-feminist language!!! like leave her alone. i dont care if something i like gets called whoreish. frankly i have - #- wanted to project such an image at some point and i think thats pretty common. posts got plenty traction anyway #anyway im 👌 this close to going on tiktok if i cant integrate myself in tumblr perfume community soon. not to post just to observe #squeaks

Just read a fic where Flynn has the ability to instantly delete Clu’s repurposing protocols from a program’s code, and now all I can think is, “I bet Query could do this, too.”

#tron identity #babbles #obviously not as quickly but the longer identity sits with me the more im thinking damn query’s power to rewrite code is terrifying #clu needed big old machines and query can just like. do it in a corner in a few minutes #ive talked about it before so i wont get too deep into it #but im convinced query getting onto the new grid during the clu era would be absolutely dangerous for clu #also the fic in question is that one by its_in_the_water i keep drawing fanart dor #(because its so good AGHHH) #new chapter posted today and i dove in so fast 😩👌
