[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #madam lan #A-qing #Band AU #(Reminder that Madam Lan's design inspiration goes to Qourmet!) #Madam Lan may have been the winner per vote count but there were so many strong advocates for A-Qing! #I played around with a few versions of what the 'poll winner' art was going to be and ultimately decided I wanted them both. #As any good theater love knows though - The battle for leadership was a ruse. They *all* get a chance to be featured. #Cooperation was the real end goal! However I do think these two have the best frontman energy of the group. #Or at least 'crowd favourite' energy. I also really loved hearing what people thought their vocal styles would be like! #This was probably one of my favourite polls to do and I love drawing these characters a lot B*) #I'd love to spend a bit more time in this AU so count on me bringing it back. #One thing I keep feeling like I need to redeem myself on is Madam Lan's Translucent skirt. I have *not* done the concept justice yet. #It is such a crack-platonic ship but I want to think Madam Lan and A-Qing would enjoy each other's company. #Possibly also with JYL as well. They can be like mutually beneficial therapy dogs to each other. #Madam Lan never got to see her kids grow up into teenagers after all. She only had sons. Never daughters. #Even if she saw her kids once a month we do know she treated them with so much love and kindness. #She would bite the shit out of YZY for yelling at JYL. What a sight to see. A-Qing would also start biting (for fun).

Some notes on Nigel from my modern adult AU, where all their adventures were just them playing pretend as kids and now they're grown up.

I always liked the cancer theory for Nigel, so I went with that. (what can I say, I love angst...) He left because the US healthcare system is a joke.

I made this for outfits, but it kinda just evolved into random notes.

#torras art #codename kids next door #knd #modern adult au #nigel uno #a reminder that if this au isn't your cup of tea you don't have to interact with it #idk if or when I'll do the others #everyone's would be different I would not draw everyone in their undies I only did so with Nigel to show how scrawny and sickly he looks #don't worry he's slowly gaining the weight back #I hc that he also just has a high metabolism in general #one of those guys who can just pack away 40billion calories like it's nothing #I looked up so many things on cancer just to make sure I wasn't spewing nonsense that google probably thinks I have cancer now #also he's had cancer since he was like 7... before he even joined the KND #he blamed his hair loss on the DCFDTL and they rolled with it because they just wanted to be included in their pretend game #even if they were the bad guys #his cancer went into remission for a while but started to come back towards the end of the series

well, guess who lost control of my hands again and was compelled to scribble down designs for ANOTHER Deltarune AU? yeah. me. it doesn't really have a proper name yet so I've just been calling it Changeling AU for now, I'll figure that out later.

these would be the cast's dark world designs; they parallel early Deltarune concepts in which the lightners would turn into monsters in the dark world-- with a few medieval fantasy fae-flavored twists this time around. mortals become a variety of magical beasts in the fae's dark realm, with only 'Kris' strangely unaffected... aside from the hue shift and conspicuously pointed ears, that is.

the main 'Kris' of this AU isn't the only human in town. instead, they're ironically the only one in town who ISN'T human, though not even they know it yet. in reality they're a Changeling, a fae creature that was left as a 'gift' to replace a taken human child. they can do things, strange things. animals come to them in the night, and the cool touch of iron burns their skin. they're afraid of what they see in the mirror; human eyes don't gleam in the dark, and their teeth shouldn't be so sharp. so they hide their features, and they ignore the whispers of the townsfolk, and they keep their head down.

they made a mistake, a terrible one... and they need to set it right.

meanwhile, the human they replaced is still out there somewhere in the fae world, twisted by its curse into a cornered, desperate beast seeking any escape from the realm that has held them prisoner all their life. it's said that when the full moon casts deep shadows over the woods, you can still hear their anguished howls in the dark begging for the name that once was theirs. they can never leave the dark world without it. they'd do anything to get it back.

all they've ever really wanted was to find their way home.

I feel like part of autistic infighting is that the term encompasses such a huge range of disability, symptoms, and experiences that advocacy often struggles to be inclusive without becoming so unspecific it's toothless. On one hand high vs low functioning is a false dichotomy, on the other hand someone who was has severe difficulty communicating and motor disabilities has obviously had very different experiences from someone who found out later in life and can mask

#the special ed vs burnt out gifted kid fighting especially.... #feels weird because i was diagnosed early and was in some... idk... special ed lite classes during elementary school? #and my experience was mostly positive there. in retrospect they were probably trying to teach me social skills #but i was in kindergarten so i mostly remember being taken to a room that had a box full of sequins and animal erasers for me to sort #regular classroom was much worse #i was a social outcast for most of elementary and middle school and was bullied heavily #but many other autistic peoples' experience with special ed is like. physical abuse and dehumanization by faculty. #which is not remotely equivalent to baby jay eraser room #no reblogs because i don't want to argue with randos today

I wish we knew more about how bsd characters figured out they have abilities. The fact that transferring an ability is confirmed to be rare implies that most characters just randomly figured out their abilities. Like did Kunikida one day write in his planner “I need to buy new glasses” and suddenly glasses spawned in his hand? Did Tanizaki play tag on the playground and just matrix-ed into thin air? Did Fyodor just randomly touch another person and see them drop dead in a pool of blood in front of him?

#I’m obsessed with the world building implications of abilities in regards to society but also how it affected each person #half of the abilities are a perfect set up for some good crack… others are angst fuel #I actually don’t wanna think about Yosano because it implies that she had to have encountered near death experiences even before the war #and that is haunting my thoughts #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd Kunikida #kunikida doppo #bsd tanizaki #tanizaki junichirou #bsd fyodor #fyodor dostoevsky #Dazai accidentally brushed against someone their ability just disappears and he’s like: oh I’m going to make everyone’s life hell #Chuuya probably randomly started floating while sleeping when he was still living his quiet normal life #btw if Fyodor actually found out this way and killed a loved one or something when he was a kid I’ll be scarred for life #I have so many other scenarios I can think about #bsd needs more ability backstories plssss

I've seen people be like downpour ruined how people see five pebbles and im gonna be honest if you were here for any number of years pre-downpour the fandom was always god-awful with the nuance in his character. thats not a downpour thing thats a fandom thing

#niche comparison but if any of you know angela from lobotomy corporation/library of ruina #in the years prior to LOR angela was probably one of the most demonized characters ive ever seen in my goddamn LIFE #NO ONE was going to bat for this girl as anything other than a absolute villain and bitch #i was and im sure some others were too but the vast vast majority fucking hated her #because she spends most of the game being mean to you and then betrays you at the end #and you had to read between the lines to get to “wait a minute whats happening to her is kinda immensely fucked up” #and this is someone betraying you at the end of a very /very/ hard game to 100% and beat proper #then LOR came out and fully explored the depths of her trauma and anger at the situation she was put into #how desperate she was too take something for herself and how little she cared about how the effected others because she was not given that #and suddenly it clicked for everyone! #suddenly she wasnt a heartless bitch anymore! but of course now you had the #'literal infant' crowd because it also explored some ideas of parental trauma/lack of experience with the world #but god it was way more refreshing to see people actually move on from 'theyre an evil bitch' even if it came with 'so shes like a kid?' #and i feel that way about pebbles tbh #i dont get super super into the iterator lore so i cant speak much for the quality across downpour #and its higher focus on them and their stuff #im sure it carries plenty of issues as many things will #but god people sucking at reading the room on the iterators is not new lmao #actually five pebbles and angela are shockingly similar.... #huh?

question: how did you discover/get into scooby doo?

this is something i'm always so interested to hear, being that there are few people who don't have at least some small tie to the franchise. whether you would consider it one of your biggest current interests or it's just something nostalgic from your childhood, i'd love to know how you found scooby and what it means to you!

#for me it was my dad! he grew up with the original show and wanted to introduce it to me #so one day when i was maybe? seven?? he came home with the winter wonderdog dvd and we watched it that night #from there we watched every single scooby doo movie that had ever been made #and got the new ones as they came out in subsequent years! #watching a new scooby movie with my dad every weekend are honestly some of my favourite childhood memories #also what's new scooby doo had also started airing on one of the main cartoon channels here in the uk around 2010 #so that's the show i watched the most consistently as a kid #velma was my original favourite of the gang because i looked a lot like her (big glasses/same haircut/etc.) #people would always compare me to her and it genuinely gave me a lot of confidence in my appearance that stays with me to this day #but fred was always my firm second favourite - he made me laugh the most of any character #and took on a deeper meaning to me in my adolescence when i realised i was autistic and strongly identified with his portrayals as such #the characters are probably what's kept me coming back all this time - they've been with me forever #and i love them individually + as a team who support each other with their unique skills and love for one another #but also the wacky adventures and general aesthetic #many people joke about the basic plot being the same every time but it makes my autistic brain happy #i love permanence and consistency baby!!!!! #and the different variations on that same formula always keep things fresh and fun #anyway ramble over #looking forward to hearing you guys' responses! :D #scooby doo #nem misc posts :]

i fear that the undercover top secret government assassins are growing on me (cp9)

#I HAD ZERO THOUGHTS ABOUT THEM AT FIRST #IN FACT I WAS DEVASTATED THAT THE WATER 7 QUARTET WERE ACTUALLY CP9 #BUT THEN??????? I READ CP9'S INDEPENDENT REPORT AND. I!?!??!?@?!? #the thoughts are endless ive been having one piece dreams every night for the past few days and they have all been cp9 related the brainrot #is so bad. i am sodgjkadhg #i love one piece there are so many characters with each new arc i get to i get some new characters to obsess over i love it i feel so alive #ive been fighting tooth and nail avoiding spoilers for the latest episode BUT GOD IM SO SO TEMPTED TO. TAKE A PEEK #anyways last night i was once again doing a wiki deep dive and i found some silly things on cp9's pages #JABRA AND LUCCI ARE THE SAME HEIGHT!!!!! THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY #CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!?! the kid you've had beef with since he was 13 (maybe even earlier since lucci alreayd knew him when he was 6) who you #used to have a whole head over is now at eye level with you i would actually be so embarrased #KAKU IS FROM EAST BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS OS IMPORTANT ACTUALLY!! THE MOST IMPORATNT FACT EVER!!!!!!!!!!! #so he knows the strawhats are...also from the east blue right?!? right??????! and ik the wg steals these kids early on to train them so i #doubt he has lingering attachments to his home sea but i still think this so both so so sad and so important :'(( #also not getting over how oda's depiction of tiny kaku has him holding a toy boat BC ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?! ARE YOU K IDDING ME #kalifa and jabra's favourite dishes are both lamb based!!!!!!!!! silly because her animal motif is a sheep haha #BUT ALSO considering how her father was also cp9 and she's probably been conditioned since birth to also follow his footsteps and how jabra #holds seniority in the current lineup id like to think that these two have known each other a very long time and there were influences #the most dysfunctional fcked up family ever. cp9 #blueno and jabra are both from the north blue!!!!!!!!!!!!! and that one falshbakc we see that the two of them plus 6year old lucci trained #together but also it would be so fcked up if the two actually knew of each other before being roped into the governemnt #idk how the wg works do they just??? routinely scout around and pick up a bunch of kids ata time???? were jabra and blueno taken together?? #also wondering if ... kalifa jabra and kumadori knew each other the longest as fellow agents or soemthing #i feel like im entertaining a gazillion thoughts all at once its so hard ot balance but we know both kalifa nad kumadori have #parents in the governemnt/assassin profession that also influenced them right #idk maybe one thing they can bond over #cp9 to me is just a fucked up family of some sort. they are not found family they are like some weird forged family where they were all #forced together and somehow made it work and they all love lucci and care for his wellbeing enough to raise all that money to get him to a #doctor and they cared about each other enough to get off enies lobby together without leaving anyone behind and they went cafe hopping and #shopping and bowling together and they all care for each other in their own way

Also I deleted the post bc it was a bad version of myself, but I'm gonna say it again, it is bananas to me that Taylor Swift only sang one song off of her self-titled album in the Eras tour movie. like girl you cannot hide from "Tim McGraw" and "Teardrops On My Guitar" even if you were just cosplaying Tennessee country like those songs put you on the goddamn map and this is how you repay them??

#the thing abt the eras tour movie is. it unlocked many opinions about taylor swift's music i didn't realize i had #''is fearless her greatest album'' i asked myself. ''all these songs are bangers i still know all the lyrics'' #no dummy you only know all the lyrics bc your 15yo sister put the house in 24/7 tswift lockdown every time she released an album #these songs are fun but more importantly your sister is 6in taller and an athlete so you didn't control the aux past the age of 17 #i haven't listened to a taylor swift album in full since 1989 was released (when my sister moved out)...some of her newer stuff is fun #don't blame me is pretty good. wish i had not been surrounded by middle schoolers the first time heard it. #but she's got some bangers. DON'T tell me anything about her personal life i don't wanna know and i don't care to learn #(my coworker: ''i forgot she swears so much on reputation and midnights 😭 oh well our kids probably see worse tiktok every day'' #me: 🫠🫠🫠) #also side note my 21yo coworker was like do you ever call our kids ''my kids'' around people and do people get really confused #i was like yes. people think they are my real kids and ask how old my kids are and i say high school and they get kinda worried #she was like yeah....my college classmates asked how old my kids are when i said i was taking my kids to the eras tour movie #and when i told them middle school they got really really alarmed and worried about me #nonprofit work lol. i'm stressed all the time about other people's children. i call them my kids. they all lowkey hate me. life this is it #fresno oilers.txt

do you have a crack theory so ridiculous it has no way of being true but it brings you so much joy, you still give it thought? :D

Honestly it's just the "Crocodile is 1/4th merman" thing. I don't know what it is about it but it sparks joy

Not really a crack theory but. IDK why, maybe it's just the abundant fanart I've seen that's given me brainrot, but I do genuinely love the idea that Crocodile and Mihawk knew each other as little kids and then just kinda grew apart/got separated for some reason or another. There's just something so incredibly precious to me about that concept and I love it to absolute death. Like I think about Baby Croc and Baby Hawk being a menace duo 'causing havoc wherever they go and I just

#Moon posting #Asks #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #Like LORE-WISE it'd probably make more sense if Croc and Hawk knew each other more as young pirates in their 20s #But. I am not immune to childhood friends. #It'd be so precious. I would love it so much. #Also Crocodile is a Bisexual King to me. Dragon is the only man he ever fucked and he was the worst lay he ever had too #Also the last. Dude has too many trust issues at this point to sleep with anyone. Also doesn't want to risk having any more kids hjdfgsdfg

thinking about the fact that i was so socially awkward as a teen that the school wanted to me out of class to attend "social skills classes" once a week (to which i attended one and demanded i be removed from the program cuz it was just me and about a dozen equally uncomfortable probably-autistic kids who also probably did not want to be there, being forced to do icebreaker activities by deeply condescending special education teachers)

how did i not receive an autism diagnosis til i was nearly an adult and specifically advocated for myself to be taken to a professional to get checked out for autism and adhd???

#eliot posts #i'm really curious whose call it was to put me in there #it wasn't my parents because my mother was Outraged that her kid got put in a special ed type class and signed the papers so i could leave #so like. what teacher made that call. #and what exactly sparked that #was it my general being a loner or was there An Incident #i don't remember exactly what grade i was in. probably 8th or 9th? #so still kind of stuck in my ''convinced myself i was just Better than my peers and that's why i didn't have many friends'' phase #following that was a phase where i got over myself but was kinda just shy #and then a phase where i went okay fuck it we ball and acted weird but in a way intended to be funny #that annoyed some people but some people enjoyed. by then i figured ''eh i aint seeing most of these ppl ever again after graduation'' #i had some friends in high school bc of marching band but they were all in different grades than me #tho even then i was only close w like 2 of them and the rest all seemed closer to each other than to me #edit: dug through my blog and it was 7th grade (yeah ive been on here that long) #so this was before i even had my marching band friends. but probably after my singular friend from elementary school moved away? #i forget if he left in 6th or 7th grade #(im still friends with that friend. he's great we love him)

Sometimes a silly bird disguised as a human sits on a dragon's hoard of gold and tries to seduce him.

Community label for it being vaguely suggestive I guess.

Art taglist : @jezifster @isabellebissonrouthier (feel free to ask to be added to the list!)

#art #my art #sketches #the fall of neseah #mecarevainen #look. he has a dragon boyfriend. he will sit seductively on said dragon boyfriend's hoard #i think it is very funny that this guy is just collecting loved ones. he has a wife. a dragon boyfriend/mate. a fae boyfriend. #he's highly unusual for his species not because he has a bunch of partners but because none of them are phoenixes #like they're not supposed to be able to shapeshift he's just a very good mage and kind of insane #(runs in the family. look at Maran.) #which means that he gets to do that #and literally every other phoenix ever is like 'yeah this is Mecarevainen he's fucking weird but he's pretty cool we like him' #'did you hear he turned himself into a human man last week ?' #'oh yeah he got human married to a human lady. wild' #his exes either find it very funny or very annoying #his kids (HE HAS PHOENIX CHILDREN. THIS IS A FATHER OF MANY KIDS and not a deadbeat the birds r just all adults) #probably are aware of his shenanigans #and once he has kids with Ulevan (the human queen) they probably visit like hello siblings! !!! #making neseah an interesting place for a while. there's just a fuckton of birds that speak directly in your brain #because their half siblings just happen to be the princes and princesses of the country #and nowadays most of this is considered legends that probably hold a part of reality (the very skilled mages n the queen having an affinity #-for the birds) but no one actually thinks Ulevan had children with a legit fucking phoenix and her kids were half birds. #Mecarevainen is the funniest motherfucker I've written lately

i keep thinking about chronica. like it makes sense that earth has their own plants who’d come with them to stop knives & whatever but the fact that domina presumably died means that she & vash could be the only plants on the planet now which has got to feel weird for the both of them. imagine spending like 150 years where you & your brother are the only ones of your species & then this woman comes along & tries to kill him & loses a friend in the process & now you’re like. it for the species. like there’s def more on earth but that’s not my point. chronica probably knows a lot about plants bc it has been like 150 years & one would assume in that time a lot has been learned about their species but also considering vash was like. one of the first & also spent basically his entire life on a different planet they’re probably completely different in some aspects but rn im just like. imagine your entire view of your species is you, your brother, & some lady you met 150 years later. there is no way that would not rock your world a bit

#aster speaks #trigun #my rough estimate of how many plants i think there are is probably around like. 300 #bc if rems ship had all the plants currently on gunsmoke & all the kids she saw were tesla & knives & vash #than its clear they arent born super frequently #esp considering as far as we know none were born on gunsmoke #(tho theres probably alternate reasons for that) #but i assume earth had more plants back on the actual planet #& the fact that they might not need to work as hard or whatnot due to differences in the planets ecosystem #so i'd say at most there are probably like. one or two born a year #which i think would place their population around like. 100 to 300 maybe? #i dont know if they can reproduce with each other. thats a different conversation

Mummy told me when I was small, my brother and I used to walk ahead on the pavement and our parents would walk behind us. They knew we wouldn't run off anywhere so they could spend some lone time with each other while making sure that the kids are fine too on the road.

And there was me grabbing my brother's arm each time a car passed by us or walking on the road side just so he would be safe lol

#samridhi speaks #probably this is why I am so protective and partly paranoid over kids safety #my brother is 5'11 with a hatta katta build but he is far too pure for this world literally satya yug ki aatma hai isme #and he has too many fears bachpan se hi jo meko ya ghar mein kisiko nahi tha #maa says he was backstabbed betrayed and murdered very badly in his previous births probably that's why he has a fear from everything #and twins agar janm lete hai toh they def had strong bonds with each other's souls in their prev lives
