#and we may figure something out

[petrichorvoices]

.. perhaps we should make a Native Cecil design

#this is a response to a recent ask Bulk got #like. we’re Native. i’m a Native Cecil fictive #and it would be nice to have a design for the character separate from myself #give us a few days since we can’t figure out Procreate and are out of town so don’t have Krita rn #and we may figure something out #i mean i’d want it to look at least kinda like me just cause i think it’d be fun #white hair in a braid maybe??? or maybe not white but like. black and white? black and whitening? #i will absolutely specifically make him Métis like us and find a way to incorporate that into the design like #OH I COULD FIND WAYS TO INCORPORATE A SASH OR FLORAL BEADWORK INTO HIS OUTFITS!!!! #maybe Hudson’s Bay striped blankets like. those stripes but on some other article of clothing as a subtle nod #i Will give him scars because i have a ton and i think it’d be neat #i’m not going to give him the extent of mine like. i’m genuinely more scar tissue than untouched skin. but one or two or so #tattoos…… i’ll need to do more research but i think i’d like him to have tattoos #black eyes. not like completely black but normal and dark dark dark brown to the point they look black eyes #high nose bridge probably? #i’m going to make him short so i feel better about myself. i’m 4’10 in the headspace. anyway he should get four eyes i think #i want to do something with furs considering we just got some recently but like. desert. hmmm.. rabbitskin pouch or something?? i’ll figure #it out later on. also i want to give him a cane. i am Going to give him a cane #the temptation to give him facial hair is strong thank you Mx Hummus but also you #don’t see a lot of Native men with it and also i can’t fucking draw it. we’ll see #bookmark #rambling #Cecil's tag

The moment that made Bruce the man he is today was the moment his parents were murdered in the alley. He thinks that that moment for Tim had or will have to do with the deaths of his parents as well, like it was for him, for Dick, for Jason, all children whose lives were changed forever by tragedy. He doesn't realize that that moment for Tim was a decade ago at Haly's Circus.

Bruce thinks that he and his mission are the poison, that prolonged exposure will eventually drag Tim down into the darkness he resides in (or worse, like it did to Jason). He thinks of the child he once was, remembers that he became the Bat so that no other child might be suffer that same loss, that same transformation that he has. He doesn't realize that Tim's path was set from the very first day he can remember.

Tim doesn't know how to be any different. How to be anything other than a boy who deduced Batman's secret identity by accident. A boy whose heroes inspired him to become a detective, to pick up computer skills, to learn to fight. A boy who cared enough about two strangers at the circus to risk his life for them a decade later.

Becoming Robin was just the culmination. Becoming Robin is when everything that made Tim Tim started to make sense. The night in the alley was the night Bruce’s life changed, but that night at the circus was the night Tim’s life began.

#batman #tim drake #bruce wayne #dc comics #batman meta #this feels incomplete but i finally managed to put into words a piece of what i've been mulling over for a while now #lately all my tim meta keeps circling back to the idea that tim was doomed *to* the narrative #becoming robin was an unavoidable outcome and everything we learn about his life pre-alpod reinforces this including his circus trauma #and its interesting to explore how this trauma - literally his first memory - may have impacted his life and relationships #...something like that i'll figure out how to explain the rest later #decaying orbit theory

Collaborative 2AL Comic Calling and Info!

Oh BOY did this blow up...

Ive polished up dialogue and framing, in total there should be 30 panels, exactly the tumblr image limit haha! Everyone who is participating gets to draw a panel! I will message you the dialogue, and a general layout once I get everyone in! :) I look forward to this!

30/30 Participants [full!]

If you are interested in joining, please message me here on tumblr or Discord! [Discord would be preferred in the long run]

--------

-> Deadline for panels?

2 Weeks! Hoping everything can be ready to go to post by September 24th!

---

-> What style to use?

Your own! I would love it if you can have as much fun as you can making the panel! The more unique each panel is the better, I dont want to constrict anyones artistic ability outside dialogue, where characters are in a room, and a vague framing idea/expressions.

As for coloring, fully colored and digital would be preferred! Just blue blobs can also work! With the exception of 4 specific panels, flashback panels, in a black/white/red scheme to help differentiate what panel is a flashback, and what panel isnt. I will let you know if your panel is one of those specific 4!

---

-> How will posting and crediting work?

When the panels are all done, I will gather them up into a singular post on this blog. Below the comic itself in order of panels would be everyones @ to the blog they want credited, Multiple blogs can also be credited ofc (For example If you drew panel 3 you will be the third @ on the list)

You are also free to add a signature or @ to your blog in the panel art itself!

#the really funny thing is #I think this collab might be done when I hit 4k followers #so does that make this a 4k special? #eh maybe maybe not #eitherway im still doing a dtiys when we get there #... maybe <3 #btw if I dont answer your message if you message me #chances are im just getting a million other messages that is all sdfnjksdfg #this might... fill up really fast..... #ough #lets see ig #anyways I think this is all the info I need? #if you have questions or if I may have missed something here lmk #deadass never seen a collab comic like this on tumblr before sooo #guess I am the first to try figuring out how shit works #if one person has not met the deadline I will probably draw the panel myself #if 3 or more people have not met it I will just extend the deadline by another week

[ryuki-draws]

Oh lord, there's two of them now

#me to me: can we draw something else than a big and a small robot holding hands? #also me: no ♥ #brave series OC #brave OC #the design details and color distribution may change #but honestly drawing silly small doodles help me figure stuff out way quicker than doing fullbody designs with mirroring turned on #they have names already but I shall not tell yet #in case I change my mind again :'D #but I can say the flying boy has two more siblings he combines with

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty"

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #my post #friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional' #(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...) #EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband #but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part #As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional' #A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means #of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances #to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor) #It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey #It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years #But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious) #By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family #(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons) #I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485 #which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional #date of 12 February 1487 #2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other #widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump #to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was) #I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument #Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was #They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless #I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests) #certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort #and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!' #which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure #ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.

spot and jack are brothers not in that they grew up together and not even in that they are closer to each other than most other people but in that as much as they fight and yell and call each other ugly things and act like they don't care, they look up to each other and understand each other in a way that even they can't fully understand or articulate

#modern au jack and spot loathe each other on sight and it last like. a year and a half until they finally #figure out that the reason this is is because they are so similar and yet so different #each weaponizing different aspects of extremely similar traumas and personalities #and they've both happened to craft personas made of things the other dislikes in themself #so of course they dislike it in somebody else #spot is dry and deadpan and has a devil may care attitude #jack is friendly and cheerful and loud and cares so much and so out loud #but deep down they are both scared and passionate and trying their best to build something better than they thought they deserved #anyway. we love parallels and we love jack and spot's frenemyship in this house <3 #spot conlon #jack kelly #newsies

It continues to give me the warm fuzzies that basically every person at work has said they'll miss me. And it's not really utility, even if I'm useful; I am not in a critical position. There are many people who can do the things I do, even if the majority are less experienced. I'm not management, or a lynchpin, just a long-time worker bee.

But people like me, and I just handled a Crisis Situation well enough that the AD took the time to personally thank me, and my manager was like 'not only am I willing to be a reference you can use my personal phone number if that's easier' and even some of the newest additions said they're going to miss me on desk, and I just.

I love my job and my coworkers and it's really nice that the people there know it and love me back.

#I told mom about Crisis Situation #and tonight when dad got home she was like COME IN AND TELL YOUR DAD #and then both of them were like WHEN COMPANY COMES NEXT WEEK TELL THEM TOO #haha #I mean dad did follow it up with 'no you may not drive across the country alone we will figure something out' #I'm gonna work on him about it we tried the thing where all of us are in one vehicle #Tuesday screamed the whole time and mom wanted to kill her and also me #I shall remind him of that #I think he will probably come around #if I could convince someone to come with I would probably make it an actual road trip #'come to TX for the eclipse!' #'we will drive through the deep south and hit some Neat Shit and then go up the coast!' #like you could make that a fun drive #I'm not gonna do the long version if I'm solo tho bc my parents are convinced I will be murdered #which is silly; I have not infrequently been in Situations and strangers have been kind #also the odds of getting strangermurdered for no damn reason are SO low #and the incentives to murder Me Specifically are also very low #and if a white cishet-passing woman dies 90% of the time it's a romantic partner and I'm aroace so like #I really wonder what they're imagining is gonna happen #babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter) #tea writes tag novels

[imwritesometimes]

so tired of the 'they didn't show us every single tiny little detail unfolding in this story so I don't find it believable' take like... part of watching a story unfold is connecting dots between scenes and picking up on the general narrative and actually engaging logically with what you're watching not just letting colors flash before your eyes

#this is both abt something specific and just very broadly also cause my GOD #are the tags of ANY show on earth full of these ppl #I don't buy this we don't see tons of x thing happening so I don't see the build up #are you aware not every element of a story is supposed to be The Big Thing #and that often creators are expecting the audience to follow along logically with the story/plot #sometimes you are supposed to pick up on subtleties and even use deduction to figure out minor logistics of a story #and yeah sometimes just make assumptions where it may be appropriate #I'm so tired of this 'every detail MUST be explained for this to enjoyable' crowd like fuck man #like idk I'm not explaining this well but it's just UGHH exhausting. not everything must be explicitly stated in a story to be understood #ESP on tv or in movies like omg #erin explains it all

ough. toriel my beloved

#comics may or may not be coming #(they are i am drawing them) #why is it so difficult. not the process of drawing but something about choosing a canvas size and marking the panels makes my brain lag #okay kingdings is something that exists i guess but can we have a little old lady interaction. #need more content of wingdings actually being a part of that world and an important individual for the people around him #rather than just existing as a satellite to a handful of characters and straight up being barely acknowledged by others #specially considering he was the goddamn Royal Scientist the man genius himself #anyway toriel. their relationship would be funny #she may be perpetually confused by his mannerisms but shes immune to creepy (re: her own creepy ass children across universes) #woman always sees right through him and thinks hes the silliest thing #she knows how badly you want a family mr weirdo come now you can sit at the thanksgiving table #feels kind of bad her efforts cannot undo the debilitating loneliness he radiates however 😔 #but my favourite thing: will never Not kiss her hand #there are no romantic undertones it is just a gesture of reverence #will do it to your mom your grandma your sister. really any lady he feels he owes formal acknowledgement #and queen toriel is always owed formal acknowledgement #gugunghhuhguh. ily toriel cant wait to finally figure out how to draw you

love hate relationship. with sociology. this quarter. on one hadn sociology. the subject. very cool very interesting. enjoying. on the other hand. my teacher is on some bullshit sometimes

#while she is generally well intentioned. with placing emphasis on corporate influence to our consumption of products. she then goes and puts #the pressure on individual people to reduce carbon footprints. which you can and should do but i feel like she does not address the scale #at which these actions are meaningless in the face of larger corporations. while we should all aspire to be better. about our consumption #it is not the individuals fault. unless you are a billionare. in my opinionnnnnn. #also shes lowkey fatphobic. ive been trying to figure out if this is a result of phd in sociology. or consuming fatphobic documentaries. or #personal bias. regardless it is weird and off putting and it makes me uncomfortable.......... and she also . not fully blames but does blam #people for being fat. which like. please youre literally a sociologist teaching about social problems. i feel like you have other prioritie #also the afformentioned. bothsidsing it of israel's genocide. most likely a result . of how proud she is that she does not consume american #news coverage. ONLY BRITISH. i feel as though this may be worse. that she only gets news from the bbc. famously. supporters of israel. #she has not explicitly talked about palestine in class but she did mention it basically exactly the same way as that question did. earlier #this quarter. which is such a bullshit cop out for talking about genocide. #sorry for conducting a profile of beliefs of my sociology teacher shes just been on my mind. need to explode her or something

"BLJ" actually stands for Biden Long Jump <isnt sure if youre aware of mario 64 speedrunning technique backwards long jump

and if joe biden was put into half life 2 he'd do an "ABH", as in: Accelerated Biden Hop

#ask #catboygirljoker #oh of coarse i know the mario speedrun tech #i was doing that shit when i was like 6 #i cant remember how we learned it but id have to imagine either before or after learning about gamewinners dot com #we used that site for like. everything. especially when we were trying to find blue coins in mario sunshine #speaking of mario. im reminded recently of something didyouknowgaming brought up in a mario 64 video #specifically that the 1-up hidden in whomps fortress's tower behind the breakable wall #and they were like ''oh this was found recently'' (as of the posting of that video) but me and my family knew about it when i was a kid #i couldnt tell you how we knew but. i remember breaking open the wall as a kid through my foggy memory #also as for hl2. recently been doing another run on my new computer. #specifically another gravity gun only run. this time on hard mode just to make sure its possible for me to humanly do #which. i got past the part i thought wouldve been an insane roadblock for me to get past #i have a lot of fun doing the challenge. this is like my 3rd or 4th time doing it. #granted the first few times i did it. it was more me trying to figure out the least ammount of weapons to finish the game. #which my goals with the first few times was like... me just playing through relatively normally without too much speedrun tech #which mainly avoided doing prop jumping. only because i thought it wouldve been much harder than it truely is. #i am a little sad that if i do happen to stream my go-through of the run that it may not be as magical to watch with me knowing what to do #i dont know if id feel confident in streaming at any point in the future. im hugely self conscious #but anyway thank you for your biden tech!!! :)

im so sick and mad about everything going on and not being able to do anything about it i may actually have to start a punk/metal music project >:/

#not calling it a band because i don't know how to play instruments or have any other bandmates but i can figure out garage band or something #i also feel like I haven't heard any contemporary music calling out politics since like... the Bush era?? #Like Obama got elected and all those bands retired or stopped writing new music and then trump was elected and they never came back?? #need someone screaming about injustice again until I can feel it in my bones may as well be me #no metaphors or allusions to certain people we calling them out By Name #if anyone knows any bands still going and still explicitly calling out current travesties let me know I wanna listen

Do you think Aleksi is bi because I think he might be he gives the vibes (and I don’t like mean to speculate but I know he won’t see this)

honestly speaking I am yet to form my final opinion on the matter lol but based on recent events (=him being fruity on his live streams) I'm ready to say he might at least be bi-curious, if you know what I mean 👀

whatever his sexual orientation is, he's such a cool dude and cute as heck too 🥺

#aren't we all a little bi or whatever anyway 🤷‍♀️ #also yeah i may have a headcanon of aleksi and olli during their late night talks admitting they might be bi-curious / into dudes 👀 #just imagine them being a bit nerveous about it because they've never told anyone else before #and they both suspect the other might understand exactly what they mean and so they gather the boldness to talk about it #and they're blushing and their hearts are beating fast and it's _probably_ just because of the adrenaline rush of #saying something like that out loud for the first time ever 💞 #and they're both so excited because they have someone who's in a similar situation that they can talk about it with 🥺 #yes yes yes anon i know you meant irl and not in my cringy little headcanons sorry sorry sorry 😭 #by now y'all should've figured out i'm deeply delusional and it only gets worse the later the hour is i'm sorry i can't seem to help it 💀 #answered asks #anon asks

SORRY FOR MONACA TOWA FIC SPAM I JUST SUDDENLY ALL THE THOUGHTS.

Because that one's more fully formed, that may be the next long project post-TTLD.

Which means I have time to figure out who dies, when, and why.

The mechanics of this Killing Game are. the thing, really. Because I don't think it's like in DR1 or DR2; I don't think it's kill someone and get away with murder and then you're free, I don't think there are Class Trials here. Those are unique to Junko's game, and this isn't Junko's game. She's involved, but someone else set it up. The Game should reflect the person running it.

So how would they run the game? And what is their end goal? What do they hope to have happen? (And if Junko is involved, how much is she going to give them shit for how they're running their game?)

#musings #bandit brainstorms #monaca towa fic #ghost!junko? #alter ego!junko? #some other form of junko? #figure it out when we get there #i know who the mastermind is #who is the traitor #(and why is it nagito) #((it might not be i just thought that would be fun to put there; i haven't actually decided yet)) #who would want to help the mastermind in this endeavor #and/or who is being used for the mastermind's purposes #and/or does traitor mean something entirely different here the same way that it meant something different in dr2 #(the traitor may be a traitor but they're also usually on the group's side and not the mastermind's #ish #they're more like a double agent #they're not really a traitor; that's just what the games call them #sakura wasn't a traitor and neither was chiaki #and neither was toko by the end #(can't say anything about drv3 yet though))
