[ID: a digital redraw of the scene where chuuya shoots dazai in the shoulder. on the top of the drawing is chuuya holding a guy to dazai's head in the red and grey hallways of the prison. on the bottom of the drawing is dazai's pained face. the gunshot is shown stylistically as hectic lines behind his bloody shoulder. over the image is half a quote from goncharov that reads 'if we really were in love you wouldn't have missed.' the signature says dandelion-roots. end ID]

This quote from Goncharov (1973) in relation to soukoku has been haunting me from before I even got to that scene in the anime (the full thing is: Katya- Of course we're in love, that's why I tried to shoot you/ Goncharov- If we really were in love you wouldn't have missed). Violence as a tool for communicating emotions, especially love and hatred, especially love and hatred makes me go feral- how could I not think of the iconic quote that says that katya's miss was a sign of a lack of love/a fake love when chuuya didn't miss? Just... losing it over here.

I just found out Fyodor's cello piece from the 3rd season is called "Bird of death" and I find that interesting for a few reasons.

First of all, is it connected to Nikolai? They work together and -shipping aside - if they're actually friends, it would make sense for Fyodor to write a piece either for him or simply inspired by him. Not only are birds associated with Nikolai, but death as well since he was supposed to die by being cut in half. He also kills people, so if we combine all those things, they kind of make him a symbolic bird of death.

Secondly, it would make the cello scene have a slightly different atmosphere as Fyodor would be playing a piece he associates with his friend who's going to die after commiting a series of murders while a different murder is taking place. Also the situation would be even weirder for Katsura because it would mean he was kidnapped by a guy who didn't just play cello for him, but play a piece he associates with his friend. Of course Katsura would have no way of knowing, but still.

Thirdly, does that make Fyodor a bird of death? Because if it's not connected with Nikolai whatsoever, then it's most likely connected with Fyodor himself. It would make sense because he kills people as well, but would also accidentally make both Fyodor and Nikolai be associated with both birds and death (#matchingimagery).

Lastly, how much does studio Bones know?? I checked the dates of manga volume releases and Sunday tragedy chapters did come out back in 2017, so the team working on the anime would have enough time to integrate this title as an easter egg if they wanted to do that (as the 3rd season began in April 2019), but then again it seems like a random idea to allude to a character from a future arc that they weren't animating at the time. Either a member of the team was/is a fan of bsd or they're getting extra info on future events. Bones also seems to be making surprising decisions when adapting the material (such as putting Fyodor in Untold Origins), so I think it's possible they know something we don't.

But it's also possible that Bird of Death has a different meaning that I'm not aware of or it's all just a coincidence haha

#my brain is completely fried today so idk if I'm making any sense haha #bsd #bsd spoilers #bsd original #bsd nikolai #bsd analysis #bsd fyodor #did I come here today just to share this? yeah I did #but I'm genuinely curious because it's seems like a waaay too big of a coincidence #I had no idea bird of death was made for bsd I thought it was a classical piece that bsd just borrowed #also I didn't want to put that in the post itself but the fyolai potential?? #it would be even more hysterical if my theory was correct because the scene of fedya playing cello for katsura is what inspired a scene #in my fic in which fedya plays a piece written because of kolya #like it's never stated explicitly because I love being as ambiguous as possible but I hint at that #so you know it would be funny if my fic had an added unintentional connection with the anime #but it's even more possible that it's just my brain being done for today and that it's all just a coincidence

Me, feeling that single Daredevil gif along with screenshots of Matt and Frank revive my energy again and feeling my mood lift like when i saw the Sexy Born Again Coat:

oh

is this what a sad tiger feels like when a frozen meat puzzle ball is put in the enclosure

enrichment

#i feel like this is like an aspca ad and it's a sad pasta #'for 1 new daredevil: born again related gif or pic a day #you can provide this pasta with the enrichment she needs' #cut to me face planted pathetically on my desk before an empty docs screen #'help. call kevin feige now. show pasta a gif.' #cut to someone lifting my head and pushing the bloody Matt gif into my face #'pasta writers are very special animals that need proper care. and with that care-' #cut to me frothing and chewing drywall and screaming matt's name. cut again to me frantically typing. #'-she can return to her natural state.' #arms of the angels plays. i write for 6 hours and lose consciousness. #my natural state is achieved

I freaking LOVE how you draw everyone just so...soft; like I bet they all feel like felt and plush during hugs. Also: do you think Barnaby would ever do that full body wag that dogs with nubs/short tails do when they're super duper happy?

ty! i try my best!

i suspect Barnaby has too much self respect. he's a distinguished dog yk! he wears a tie!

#where's that tidbit clown mentioned about how barnaby & wally play fetch but wally is the one who fetches the stick... #he strikes me as a 'tries not to act like the animal/thing he's based off of' character #yk what i mean??? #like yeah he bites out of affection & walks on all fours & chases eddie #but the 'chasing the mailman' is like. a running Bit. a Joke. as a comedian he's Obligated #and he's specifically stated to walk on all fours to be closer in height to his shorter neighbors #plus he's technically Not a dog #hes a puppet in the Shape of a dog #which then ofc there's the whole argument 'shape forms nature' and how that ties into the inherent fluidity of puppets #IM GETTING TOO ANALYTICAL ABOUT THIS SIMPLE THING SORRY #rambles from the bog

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

I was rewatching The Stone Forest and I really like to think that Hilda had to pass by the Bell Keeper’s outpost on her way out of the city limits. I like to think that idiot looked at what was happening, shrugged, and said ‘eh, she’s the scariest thing out there’

#“‘the scariest thing out there’?”the girl sends him a look that isn't quite a glare for once; it still conveys her opinion just as clearly #Edmund shrugs. Hilda is still within sight of his binoculars. he watches her run and can’t be sure whether she’s running *towards* or *from #*.He doesn’t think she knows either. #'I mean. it’s not like trolls can harm her at this time of the day. #Don’t tell me you believe in fairies kid.' #And there it is at last: the glare. Meiri looks up from her art project - her new therapist had reccomended it as a way to express herself #and since he'd been helping so much so far she'd decided to grudgingly give it a shot - #“*No*” she states pointedly; to anyone who knew her it was an affirmation. And Edmund knew her better than she cared for #'What I believe in is wolves and recluse spiders and ticks and nettle. And I believe that someone with the spine #to sabotage the Patrol wouldn't have the self control to not lick a pretty mushroom' #“Hey!” Edmund protested putting down his binoculars. “I sabotaged the Patrol! For *you* I might add!” #Meiri's smile turned mean; it was a regular expression for her yet it never conveyed any malice. Just the thrill of a game that never tired #her. “And would you?” she lifted one thick eyebrow; signaling to her dad that it was his move now #The dad in question was unfortunately thinking back to a time in his young teenage years when he figured he could eat anything animals bit #and gave himself a poisoning that had him taken to the ER. But she didn't need to know that. *ever* in fact. #“Obviously I would. Like I'd let a mushroom ruin my perfect sandwich diet” #Meiri groaned loudly. Some games were worth playing. But some wars she'd already accepted she'd never win #“Anyway” he turned back to staring at the outside of the wall as if it was of any interest to him (it wasn't) #“kid'll be fine is my point. And even if she isn't ya know what's the best think about this situation?” #They looked at each other with matching smirks. “none of our flipping business” he said at the same time as she echoed #“None of our fucking business” #He gasped immediatelly. “*Meiri!*” #The chastening was useless. She just shrugged innocently. #He'd really have to limit her library visits #the bell keeper hilda #meirdom #hilda the series #hilda netflix

i need an autistic minecraft furry to explain to me how the FUCK custom models work. I can't find good tutorials for any of this shit? The wall i'm running up against right now is how the fuck the item holding animations work, especially when trying to work together with other animations. If I have to make a custom item holding animation for every single player state that's fine, I just don't know how the fuck to do that.

How do i fix this.

#minecraft #custom player model #minecraft furry #furry minecraft #right now the item holding animation just layers itself on top of whatever animation is already playing #1. how do i make it not do that #2. how do i replace it with something more appropriate for whatever state he's in #I WANT MY SILLY ANIMATIONS WEEEEEEHHHH

spoilers for dungeon meshi chapters 37-38

something about these two pages is so...... the way kabru is trying to brutally kill falin while simultaneously restricting her movement in such an elegant(?) way.... the delicate precision in the way he stabs her... the raw emotion on their faces: the determination, shock, fear.... i think i hauve covid

#dungeon meshi #L.txt #kabru #falin #falin touden #i would buy this volume for these two pages alone they are so gorgeous and gross and intimate(?) i want to throw up #im so excited to see this animated i might actually pass out seeing it on the screen #trigger please do your thing... for me #falin and her feathers being white/light colored potentially playing off of associations with angels/divinity or maybe even representing #transparency re: her motives whereas kabru is shown wearing dark colors/black. his motives are unclear and mysterious unlike falin's #more typical earnestness - even in this state where she isn't 'truly herself' she is shown being careful and gentle #very intentionally not trying to associate the dark color w 'evil' or whatever i think its more relating to the 'darkness' aka the mystery #of what lies in the dark of the dungeon which could allude to kabru's more secretive and reserved nature as well as his true goals ? #HDHLDHKSKHDKGD I THINK I HAUVE COVID 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Another oc drop!

This is my lil homebrew tiefling dryad forest guardian.

He's a cocktail of wall•e and the avatar from atla.

He collects enchanted items and what not that he finds on his little patrols, he doesn't realize they're important so he'll pocket them and just toss them in a pile when he gets back to his shelter. He doesn't care about those trinkets as much as he cares about the literally garbage and rocks he finds which he puts on shelves and spends maybe a bit too long admiring them.

He does have speak with animals but he doesn't realize that the animals can understand him so he usually leaves or changes topic before the creature can respond.

He named himself twig and his leaves/ hair change color with the seasons

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

#dnd character #noah does art #i love twig #he was for a campaign that i never got to play #but hes still special to me #mofo goes in to the avatar state and then just wakes up with his leaves all scattered like #🥺 #his antlers can and do occasionally break off #missing from this picture is his giant leaf hat #its like a visor #hes literally like a puppy #adhd to the max #lives in a post apocolyptic world where the world has started to heal and over grow #and animals have been changed and mutated from said apocalypse #hes baby #noah ocs

I know being like “communism is religious” is an extremely annoying thing to say but I’m reading a book called red demiurge which is about the legal history of the soviet union and honestly that title is not hyperbole

#red demiurge #only getting like 60% of it bc I don’t know that much about soviet history or law #or really anything . but like I’m reading about them moving an entire industrial plant #like physically disassembling it and moving it along with all the labourers #as well as equipment resources etc #bc of the german invasion #like they can’t afford to lose the factory so they just. move it lol #and like honestly just reading about it does evoke a sense of like #this is very close to a divine act you know #I know political theology is like contentious and I’m not fully familiar with all of those arguments #but like I am sometimes persuaded by the general concept #the state is the closest you get to like divine acts of god #aside from natural disasters and shit #to rhetorically capture the power of the state you sort of end up just talking about god #anyway sorry I’m being insane I’m high rn I think I’m gonna go play animal crossing #please don’t be weird in my notes abt this thank u <3

Funny how you mentioned acting expressions in animation with limited features like just the eyes. In college, we DID have to do test animation using Marvin the Martian in the 2d character animation course (he's usually the go-to model). Since his face is just eyes, you're graded if you can effectively portray a specific emotion within facial limitations (my assigned line was "I claim this planet in the name of Mars! Isn't that lovely?") It's fun to think about all the Bros animators going : "Ah yes, the eye acting." *cracks knuckles "Challenge accepted."

referring to this

The animators looked at those big blue eyes, those bushy (very neat I might add!) eyebrows, and those magnificent moustaches and said

"It's time to flex!"

#always a great joy to see animators and artists play around with expressions - without using a mouth #I recommend let me explain studios on YouTube #they use the no mouth style - and the animation is so good #multicolour ink answers #super mario #mario #luigi #the super mario bros movie #super mario movie #mario movie #animation #suedoodle #I really am sorry to those with some asks being so old and late.... #I usually need to have enough time and be in the right state of mind to answer asks.....

I need to type this out to make my brain stop revolving so this a rant. Just read a story on the dnd subreddit where a vegan player got upset about a pig roast in the game and demanded there be no more real world animal cruelty in their sessions and...

What? You are playing a non-pacifist ttrpg. You kill people in game. She even said killing humanoids and fantasy creatures was fine but God forbid their chef character rp by describing preparing a pig for roasting or they see an abused dog for flavor text. But a dragon dog? Well that's fine. Kick it in a fire. Who cares. So long as it's real analogue right next to it is well fed and a happy boy, the player could not give a shit.

And in the follow up, the group capitulated to her. A group she joined recently that had already been playing for some time in an established campaign. Where she didn't mention any of this until THIS point.

I guess I'm annoyed cause if this happened to me in my group halfway through a campaign with someone who just joined and didn't bring this to the table at that point, instead waiting for an rp session to start pouting, I'd be pissed. Especially if I was the DM or the guy rping as a chef. You can describe the smell of stew and the prep of making food...unless it's meat then you need to hand wave it or gesture vaguely towards.

I just got done slaughtering an owlbear; I wouldn't want to feel icky and lose my appetite over you cooking a chicken.

#things i found on reddit #can she not read non-v3g4n books? can she not watch movies that have any form of animal products being consumed? #its the hypocrisy that gets me the most #how is killing a fantasy creature any different than a cow who IS ALSO JUST AS NOT REAL #they are both animals in the imagined scenario but one is free for murder but the other is untouchable #if you want an entirely veggie world then state that up front or talk to the dm about a different campaign #or play dnd with like minded people #okay im done
