It's been over a month and I haven't seen a single OPLA ZoLu amv/edit on YouTube, ZoLu shippers wtf are you doing sleeping on the job.

#Yes I know I am also a ZoLu shipper who hasn't made an amv shhhhhh I have university classes okay #one piece #Opla #Zolu #If you made an edit but put it in shorts then you're dead to me that shit don't count #Neither do Instagram or tiktok edits if it's not in landscape then get it outta my face #I want it OLD SCHOOL #Random #Like seriously why are the majority of ZoLu amvs (including anime ones) from like 10 years ago #God the YouTube search has become such fucking garbage

this is my blog i can be a furry for like 5 minutes okay

#furry #my art #eyestrain #bright colors #neons #<-burned my eyes while drawing this and i want y’all to stay safe #one of my classes cancelled this morning so i had sooo much time so i drew a thing #personally i like drawing nonhuman characters because they allow for more shapes than people do #and like. i love shapes idk if you’ve picked up on this yet but shapes and colors are The Thing my brain needs #no matter how much i try to draw more realistically i always fall back to bright colors and strong lines and shapes #because i love them #i chose neons here because for whatever reason everything felt so dark this morning #i kept trying to draw but even white wasn’t bright enough and i checked the settings and everything idk it’s probably my eyes #so i needed something bright to see #and see i did #so i drew this #i was feeling like bright highlighter yellow and green #bc i really want to dye my hair back to highlighter colors it’s rad but fades quick #if you’re wondering what animal this is: idk. i was looking for Shapes and i made them #i was feeling a little bit like borzois (russian wolfhounds) #but they’re a tad different #whatever #this was fun though i might draw more furry shit idk #feeling great drawing so cartoony i feel like i’ve been healed #i mean. it’s not like i haven’t been drawing cartoony but i mean like #stronger lines brighter colors more pop-out eye-grabbing y’know? #it calms me #anyway i have friday off so yayyyy i get to sleep soon #i’ve slept like. 15 hours this week #major L to me

My drawing of Fl4k as their VA then vs now

#Borderlands #Fl4k the beastmaster #bl3 #fl4k #i found it when i was looking at my personal blogs archive and i wanted to post it here too #and i figured it would be cool if i did a redraw of it. #i CANNOT get over how much i've improved dsince then wtf its crazy #animation/art classes will do that to ya i guess #that first fl4k drawing was one of the first drawings I ever made with my tablet #ahhh time flies #its almost an entire year old lmao

So I am far from an arty person and barely ever draw unless it's making a plan for some craft, but the urge to do fan art hit I guess, so here we are

#all my art knowledge comes from the one middle school art class I took like 6/7 years ago and the random art things I get on Pinterest so :/ #my rules for art is that people and animals are things I cannot do because they're too complicated for me to just copy down from a picture #hence how inhuman I made him #you don't gotta worry about proportions with body horror ok #and faces are a no go which is fun when it comes to horror #this isn't even that horror-y #also legs are too much work so tail and hands are too much work so claws #danny phantom

[girlscience]

I always get a little jealous when I see teenagers at cons, I would have loved to be them 10 years ago

#first of all 😭😭😭 the fact 15 was ten years ago is crazy #but just. my parents love me but they very much do not understand my hobbies at all #and they got my sister into things because she liked sports and they understood that #I liked nerdy things and so... I got art class like once? #there was an anime club at the library but I couldn't go because it was on wednesday nights and we had church things #it was only once a month but I couldn't skip awana! #and literally no kids at church or in the homeschool group cared about this stuff #so I didn't have friends who liked it #idk. I am having a GREAT time now going to cons and buying so much art #and making cosplays and going to panels and staying up stupidly late #but there is always going to be a part of me that wishes I could have been one of the kids in the anime club #who made cosplay skits on youtube and terrorized the local anime cons #i think it's very much an instance of 'that kid would have been me if i had had friends who weren't bullies and parents who understood me'

[mako-island-moon-pool]

I really do deserve a fucking apology for all the times my friends and family valued strangers on the internet and their opinions more than me

How am I supposed to be just fine with being ignored for years and years or bullied for openly liking what I like, only for those same fucking people to then turn around YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE, and be like "actually this is cool, so glad I found it" while still ignoring me. Why am I not allowed to be fucking pissed about it? Why is it considered ""gatekeepy"" when I get upset someone who deliberately ignored me for years and insulted the shit I enjoy when I asked them to get into it cuz I thought they'd like it suddenly finds interest in it because it got popular online, not because I'd been begging them to give it a chance and to listen to me for years???? Why is that not allowed????? THAT'S SUCH AN ASSHOLE MOVE, WHY IS IT 'NOT OKAY' TO BE MAD? WHY DON'T THEY GROW A SPINE AND APOLOGIZE FOR DISMISSING ME FIRST? HOW ABOUT THAT?????

#I fucking hate this it keeps fucking happening #I have a fucking LIST of all the times it's happened this is not a one time thing it's fucking reoccurring #Nothing I say will ever fucking matter to anyone not even the people who are 'supposed' to care about me #Grumble grumble #Literally showed my dad a song and he was like 'well I preferred the one that came on autoplay after' #And I was like 'oh that song? Oh you mean THAT song? OH YOU MEAN THE SONG I SHOWED YOU MONTHS AGO THAT YOU DISMISSED AND CRITICIZED?' #THAT ONE? YEAH? YEAH??? #Gee I wonder why you like it NOW and not when *I* showed it to you! #UGHHHHH #Begged my friend to get into OP and he would go 'no it's too long and the art style is kinda ugly' #GUESS WHO'S NOW ASKING ME TO GUIDE HIM THRU THE ANIME CUZ OP WAS TRENDING ON TWITTER OVER THE SUMMER #UGHHHHHHHHH #Begged friends to watch Trig/un for years it was always the first anime I'd recommend anyone when they asked and was always ignored #Guess what everyone did once stampede started *trending on Tumblr*? #They certainly didn't care when I asked or when I was hyping up the trailer for stampede or literally any point before then #Nobody would ever reply to me when I talked about it #But now that it's trending on Tumblr NOW they're interested. GJSGDHDJDJDK #Happened with Pe/rso/na and Ro/tm/nt too. #Begged my middle and high school friends to get into the per/sona series. Nooo never it's sooo lame #Get made fun of for being hyped for 5's release in Calc class #Man you'd never believe who I see on Twitter as the biggest fans nowadays!! #Same with ro/tm/nt begged my friends to watch it but was dismissed and the episode I showed them heavily criticized bc it wasn't 2012 #Then learn the same friend who criticized it so heavily bc he *hated it* WAS WATCHING VIDEO ESSAYS EXPLAINING WHY THE FINALE WAS SO GOOD #And there's NEVER any acknowledgement like 'hey sorry I made fun of/hated on this thing I see why you like it now' #Am I actually mental?! Would that not be the polite thing to do??? #I would do that if a friend begged me to watch something and I openly dismissed them or criticized it as my reason why #And then later on I saw something online and was like 'actually...' #I would GO TO THAT FRIEND AND BE LIKE 'hey sorry I dismissed you earlier man I get why you like it now' AND THEN WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT #This isn't even about like distant acquaintences some of these people are my best friends and my roommates and my own fucking parents #People I talk to daily or near-daily. You're just not going to acknowledge what happened before??? Just expecting me to be fine with it????

[belligerentbagel]

closing two artfights! reached my final goal, which was a nice round total of 10 attacks for this first year 😊

Alcarnarmo (ThArtemisHunter)

Phoenix Tian and Kai Terranova (@mimicmerchant)

#artfight #draws #kai and phoenix are a little sketchy because i woke up this morning and went HUP HUP HUP LET'S BEEEE AMBITIOUS #but i'm glad to have managed what i did! ^^ #and now to 1) close every tab i had open for reference images இ௰இ and 2) DIVERSIFY MY CHARACTER ROSTER WHOOPS #scraped by this year without designing anyone new; just pulling from past d&d characters and a witchsona l m a o #here's the thing #[🙏 innnnnhale] #two of those character options look near-identical bc at the time of creation; i was like 'yeah sure they can look like me - #- can i go build out the class features / start designing witch clothes now' #and sitting down last night with the intent of 'time to create new characters' made me aware that #oh! yeah my preference really is to build upon existing things (more of a personal interpretation than a perfect iteration) #which is why i like making fanart that doesn't stick *precisely* to the canon outline #or building cosplays that are tweaked and extended to my tastes (and why i like animated properties more than live-action) #(bc animated designs tend to be simplified and allow for a LOT of interpretation. live-action is fun to look at but - #1) the garment already exists. i don't feel the need to replicate an extant thing; and it's stressful to self-compare to professionals #and 2) i KNOW the community says 'appearance doesn't matter' but it. still. does. influence people's interactions with & responses to you - #esp if you're working from live-action & guess what! very few TALL east asian women in any live-action properties with my specific vibe 🙃 #(tamar kir-bataar is a recent one but COME ON that's just my warlock with bonus axes bahaha)) #big ramble in the tags today #uhhhh to circle back around: anyways! despite my preference for Variations On A Theme over designing OCs; #i now have some possible New Character routes to explore. exciting.

sending laser beams to my professor with my mind. kenneth you said midterm grades would b up by this afternoon. it is officially TONIGHT and guess what? kenneth i would love to not be clenching my teeth in my sleep tonight. kenneth i will be sending you a bill in the mail. yes i know its probably a TAs responsibility but i blame you personally. i hate school

#i dont im having a lot of fun (genuinely) but it is often pretty stressful #did find out there are a few folks adjacent to my program doing zoonoses & climate change research so im very excited to chat w them next w #possibly directing my thesis towards one health. social epi gradually becoming less interesting #plus i think my strengths do lie in applying epi to biological concepts so. one health works there #my brain continually trying to get back to lyme disease :( sometimes i really do miss the east coast tbh! #not lying actually i think the number one thing i miss is the amt of vector borne disease research LMFAO #i do unfortunately kind of have a crush on a classmate so that's fine but whatever. grad school. men are nice to me and i lose my mind ig #need to go make out w a hot trans person i think that would solve my problems rn #but also it's nice to be so excited about someone deciding to sit next to me in every class :) #like wow how isolated have i been the last 3 years to be so delighted by like. active signs i have Officially Made Friends. #even if he does live like a block away from my dad and jokes every goddamn day like 'so i saw your dad yesterday' no you DIDNT shut UP #idk yesterday he sat right next to me in a class he usually sits w other people in and it sort of sent my brain off the edge and now im jus #yeah. sitting with this one. it's fine like it's normal. but wowie i do think it's my first time having a Big Ol Crush since (redacted) #a little scary for my animal brain i think but it's okay! #im 25 in like 3 ish weeks and i still get embarrassed about this stuff somehow? stupid. #he's just really nice and always really fun to talk to! i think i had to officially Sit With Myself today bc epi is doing a holiday party #and there's a baking contest and we were talking abt it in class and i was indecisive abt whether i want to participate #and he like fully cut me off and was like oh you should bake something so i can have some :) #and. well fuck now i have to lmao. IM SO EASY IT'S SO EMBARRASSING #good evening everyone. guess this is my journal now. anyway ken rice you owe me twenty dollars and i aim to COLLECT

What is the story of the selkie, the swan maiden, written if that “animal wife” were a man?

How does it change the role, the twists and turns? The story of the animal wife is often of one stolen away from their home and people, bond to their husband’s side until the man is fool enough to loosen his iron grip on her pelt. Then she flees (if she is still able). Often leaving heartbroken children behind, children born of the clearest rape. 

Or the story of the wife being forced out if the law laid down between husband and wife is broken. Foxes chased out by dogs, snakes unable to shed their skins to look like gorgeous human women. 

Can it still be the same, a man with the hide of a beast bond by the pretty words of his wife? Words that are first gossamer thread until they weigh down enough to become golden chains. Does he too struggle and bleed for the pelt under her covers?

Can a man be thrust out into the cold, wearing nothing more than fur or scale, because his wife dare do the forbidden? 

Or does the role of a man in this world we live in demand a different story entirely?

#tropes #storytelling #it's just...interesting #that's all #i wrote a retelling of a swan maiden story for my creative writing class once #no one there knew what it was and i accidentally got a little...graphic in explaining #graphic as in mentioning those pretty words of rape and such #clearly made a lot of people uncomfortable #i also wrote a swan maiden that was a man once #a man with the feathered cloak of an owl #...i don't know where his story was going really #but could it be the same as the classic animal wife stories we tell?

good god i love writing research papers. at first it kinda sucks but the moment i find usable sources for the topic i go wild with it and it's the best thing ever

#txt #i'm writing one about ambassador animals & the benefits/drawbacks of direct interaction with guests #i used to attend a yearly summer camp at the zoo in my hometown where they had a ton of ambassador animals #when i was little i'd listen to the presentations and be allowed to pet/hold the animal #as i got older then i started being the one to give the presentation #being on both sides of that experience makes it such a fascinating topic to me... #tbh that's one of the reasons why i got my bdfbs! i gave a presentation with them for a college class #and although i didn't have to do it having the animal in the room made everyone so much more interested and sympathetic towards the beetles #i didn't let anyone handle them but just seeing an animal can have really positive effects on an audience. it's so cool....... #but there are also some very serious drawbacks that i feel like people ignore and/or don't account for too #i could talk about this for hours sorry (<- not really sorry)

~* Late Happy Holidays and early Happy New Year! :D *~

Y'know, last year when I complained about not getting to animate I really didn't think I would end up with A Full-On Animation Assignment, even two if you count my current project!

Also two more zines this year, including first merch ever! :DD I really enjoy these and hope I'll get to contribute to more next year! :P

Thank you everyone for sticking around! I wont be super active for the next 2-3 months, finishing school and all~ But when that's over we'll definitely celebrate with a round of requests or whatever fun thing I can do for y'all ;P Until then, see you in messy sketchdumps~

I never finished this comic, but Ultimate Programmer Kazuichi hugging a Blahaj

Pridebert designed her

#talent swap au #danganronpa 2 #kazuichi soda #kazuichi souda #my art #in talent swap au zoey is ultimate video gamer instead. sonia might be ultimate breeder? I dont know the others yet #I think the talents should be like. in-character talents the charas would have gravitated towards as backup hobby. not purely random #in this au sonia is way more rebellious and overthrows their own family out of power and is trying to breed makangos for animal conservatio #secretly overthrew their family out of power. they didn't know Sonia was in one of the rebel groups giving away insider information #zoey stubbornly only plays single-player games and refuses to play multiplayer games or film herself playing (social skills issues :/) #so some people think she's cheating but she just doesn't want to be expected talk to internet people or a youtube audience #she and kaz meet in the same coding class (required for Kaz's field even though she knows the basics already) #kazuichi messes with a 1980s abandoned computer program that's supposed to do ''everything'' but has broken messy code and does nothing #the program is named SONEA. kaz has no interest in Sonia here bc they're not a princess so like. this is her SONEA obsession lolololol #it's 10000x healthier than canon even if she stays up way too late fixing broken code for it to do absolutely nothing #I was thinking of yanderedev's coding for yandere simulator when I made up SONEA xD

I’m sad, I’ve had a bunch of fun cool ideas sitting in the back of my head since like new years which I wanted to use for rare pair week, but like life has been kicking my ass so I didn’t have time to even start anything and now it’s over :( guess they will just keep living in my head until next year

#this is if I’m also not dying next year… which is unlikely #don’t do what I do. don’t work full time and do school full time. especially when you’re doing a dual graduate degree program. I’m in hell #brain screams #it especially makes me sad cause when I started writing fics in the summer it made me SO happy to be writing again!!! #especially about sailor moon!!! one of my special intrests and fav shows of all time!! it makes my brain SO HAPPY!!! #as I keep telling myself - just cause I don’t make these things now doesn’t mean I can do them in the future. my ideas will still be there #I can write the fics I want and finish the YouRube videos I’ve started. I can make silly little doodles and comics and short animations #I can take my Venus plus on hikes and exploring and to wonderful places!! we can go to museums and cafes and concerts!! #we can go to the ocean and climb mountains and get lost in the forest and get muddy and wet and cold and sit by campfires and climb on logs #I can take my not fully fleshed out idea of using her and my other plushes to make a sort of live action stop motion skit video!! #I want to be creative and free and have fun and live my life and pursue my passions!! #but rn… all i do is work. work and homework and class and homework. until I’m so fatigued I can’t walk and I can’t sleep and I can’t think #to be real watching the anime and having the codename: sailor v and stars arc of the manga is like one of the few things getting me through #when I’m so tired I can’t think I have those as comforts so I’m not sitting on the couch wanting to die #I find so much comfort in existing in the space of this fictional universe and I draw strength from the characters #like sailor moon helping me get through some of the hardest fucking shit I’ve ever done in my life. and helping me remember to love myself #also lowkey helping me fight off my depression and ed and substance abuse issues #I just both get so much joy and comfort from this space but also I feel I owe it so much gratitude for kinda helping me from crumbling #I want to also contribute to this space cause it gives me joy to do so and cause i want to give back and contribute to others joy as well #like it’s a combo of I love this and want to and also as a form of gratitude i want to and also to help others experience joy I want to #but… I don’t have the time or energy now. and if my life keeps going on like this. will I ever? I’ve never let myself slow down. #idk if I ever will :( oh well

should i purposely get a bad grade on this assignment by writing exclusively about the artwork in this movie and not the language at all

#project for my anthropology class we were supposed to watch a movie and analyze the dialogue #but i made the mistake of choosing an animated movie and my art major senses were on the whole time and all i paid attention to was the art #like i took notes on the dialogue but when i submitted them they were one hundred percent bullshit and sounded very dumb #worst part is we have to post the review publicly on letterboxd i dont want people seeing my review #as soon as he grades the project i will be taking my review down and changing it to something short and sweet about how pretty the art is #talkin
