babygirl who i’ve been obsessed with for the past few months <3

#the owl house #toh #philip wittebane #i can't believe this dipshit was the one to finally make me put all of my art braincells into overdrive after ten bajillion years #out of all the toh charas i could pick it had to be this one. of course #(i also upgraded to krita 5.1.5 the other day and found a sketching brush that i really really like but shhh blorbo fixation) #i am so normal about him :) #i'm blaming bestie for this one #you got me into toh in the first place and now YOU MUST LIVE WITH WHAT YOU CREATED #this took. four days to do. including today. heurgh #i actually really like the bottom sketch with the snakeskin tho #might render that one out into a full thing later #i'm also working on another toh art thing but idk if i'll get that done before the s3 finale airs at the speed i'm working at rip #art #my art

not to be mentally ill but today when i went for a walk in a nature reserve i was climbing a hill and it was cold but so so sunny and everything looked beautiful and i saw so many cool things and i stood there and was like damn what's this feeling in my chest and why am i smiling so much?? my guy,, it's called fucking happiness. i was just present and content in the moment and couldn't contain myself so kept doing the silly arm shake thing i do and grinning at everything and then was like woah what's this feeling. fuckin, happiness dude.

#think the arm shake thing might be stimming (??) i referred to it as pogging and was informed that i've been using that word incorrectly #but yeah stimming ig #the arm shakes!! we all know them... #anyway do you ever get the feeling that other people experience happiness differently to you? #idk last week i was v depressed and now ive had a couple days in a row where ive been giggling with people and ive been cuddled and kissed #and today i took myself off on a walk and i was so so happy and then as i was walking back to my car #i had the gut wrenching feeling that i needed to text my parents that i'd been outside and had a good day and saw multiple cool animals #and that i loved them. because i suddenly got really worried that i would die on the way home and no one would know i'd been really happy?? #even though id literally sent my bestie loads of photos and texts and a literal voice note while staring at a robin lol #anyway and then i was floored by the realisation that i carely deeply about whether i died or not #because i was pmsing last week and that is a terrible time for me and i end up being kind of passively suicidal ig #so to have such a big change in the space of a week was a huge shock #these tags are sooo incoherent and span so many emotions #i promise i've had a really lovely day. i just am anxious all the time and depressed sometimes #in a way that is harder to predict now my periods have stopped. #im realising this is the kind of stuff that should probably go in my diary but i've got this far with the tags that i can't be asked. #if anyone is still reading #you do not have to respond to this or like it in any way. i promise lol

ok but has a man ever told you you have a dainty rook piercing area? i don't think so 😌

#you can't go around calling parts of me dainty even if it's in the most casual professional sense i'll blush #well dainty is the best translation for the word he used (siro) bc dainty doesnt really feel the same as siro even tho they mean the same t #hing #anyways i got my rook piercing today! it went well and besides being hot the piercer was so nice and professional and i really liked #the piercing shop and will get all my future piercings done there as well #it was a very nice safe feeling enironment. safe as in. i wasnt stressed about myself bc the piercer had a pride sticker on a bottle #also like all piercers explain what theyre doing as theyre doing the stuff but he was doing it extra well #also jfc i can never again get a rook piercing bc the experience of laying down facing an extremely attractive man #while he leans over you to penetrate your skin is. well. you can guess how i felt about it #also my bestie got some lobe piercings and they look very cute on her! #and she got some kind of a discount thing for bringing a new person to the shop #leevi talks #im sorry to everyone who has ever worked anywhere where they had to lean over me i cant help getting a mild crush #though i used to work as an amusement park ride operator so ive been on the both sides of this and idc i was just doing my job #and its normal to get a little crush on someone even if theyre just doing their job as long as you dont say anything about it

I really like hearing what you have to say about spg bc I like their music but I'm very much a Causal Enjoyer so it's cool to hear some Lore. Any other spg related things you've been wanting to talk about?

Ohhhhh anon this is the best and worst ask you could have possibly sent me because there are So Many Things that are insane to me about SPG lore that I would love to talk about but literally each of them requires like two paragraphs MINIMUM of explanation and context beforehand. But I WILL tell you what's on my mind right now and that's the fact that the Spine canonically has a credit card. This is hilarious to me for many reasons, those being that he has obtained a credit card either through:

A) having a Social Security Number

B) having an Individual Taxpayer Identity Number

or C) Peter Walter VI going with him to their local bank branch and sitting there with him as the poor financial advisor has to come very quickly to terms with the fact that this tall silver man and this other man with a keyhole for a face want to open a new credit card under the name of this silver man who is not technically a human being.

All of these answers are very compelling to me for different reasons, but through process of elimination, we can get rid of B, since that's exclusively for US nonresidents and the Spine was built in the US. I'm personally eliminating C because I don't think it's the funniest option. So conclusively: yes, I think the Spine has an SSN, and furthermore, I think he pays taxes.

We know canonically already that not only does the Spine know how to do taxes, but he loves doing them and he's very good at them (he will, in fact, quadruple your return).

I posit now that the Spine pays taxes because he wants to do them for two main reasons: that he feels deeply and strongly this proves to the US government that he's a living being with feelings and rights just like any other taxpaying American, and that he is an old, old man who loves looking at things and asking if his taxpayer dollars really went towards this.

I do not, however, think Rabbit, Zer0, Hatchworth, or any other robots care this much over human financial systems because they are very old and dumb and they are also wise and blasé enough over how they're viewed by US legislation to understand that the less of their limited income they have to fork over to Uncle Sam, the better.

#spg #steam powered giraffe #answered #anonymous #i need you all to know i've been literally thinking abt this the whole day and have roped in my bestie my sister AND my father to discuss #i was looking at the paperwork to apply for an SSN today and nearly DIED laughing like he was BUILT what's he gonna DO #SUBMIT HIS BLUEPRINTS??? he was born before social security was INVENTED #we had a REAL debate over whether or not the spine can vote and he probably can't UNLESS. he took the citizenship test. #which that in and of itself is its own discussion #the real question is if they have financial independence or not. like an allowance? sure. maybe. but they HAVE to be dependents right??? #a very near runner-up to this ask topic btw was the walter robotics union which they HAVE. #flicker's meta

besties how do you ask for help lol

#besties my car insurance is due today and i'm short hahahah #idk what to do other than sit at home and suffer #i also have to pick up my ~crazy lady medication~ #which is. yeah. #yeah! things suck i can't really sugar coat it i'm just . . . #i guess patiently waiting for my period so the pmdd lightens up :D #.vent #.tbd

the tumblr vernacular holds such a privileged position in my psyche. all day long tiny bugs have been feasting on me and

BITING YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU

and

i literally have a bug infestation and i'm being so brave about it

are just cycling through my head on repeat. but like. they are biting me biting me biting me. and i am actually being so brave about it. so shoutout to tumblr for giving me the language i need to make it through this experience i guess.

#like a special tumblr clippy that popped up in my brain like 'it looks like you're infested with bugs. have you tried thinking about BITING #YOU BITING YOU BITING YOU?' #insects cw #insects #i have looked at so many pictures of tiny bugs that bite you today and i have been sooooo calm about it besties #even when i thought it was bed bugs i was keeping it together remarkably well #i'm 99% sure it's not bed bugs now but i still haven't managed to figure out what they actually are #they're so small i can't take a picture #or count the number of legs or even really tell what color they are #the good thing is they can't fly and they can't hop and if i see one i can always catch it because they're not that fast #however they're so small they could be literally anywhere. so that's unfortunate. #my mom came over to bring me a magnifying glass and a better vacuum cleaner and i had her check my back etc. for bugs #i was like damn those monkeys know what's up #anyway i think i have to skip my class this week because i don't have time to do hours of homework or two hours of class :( #i gotta make hay while the sun shines! by which i mean use the vacuum cleaner and laundry room during the non-quiet hours #so that's too bad. but i think they'll live without me

bro how do u make an automatic queue tag like i've looked in so many settings i can't find it

#i never used the queue before this past year #and i accidentally made the besties think i was ignoring them for hours today #so i need a queue tag #but i can't fucking find how to do it #my posts

stricken with illness rendering me incapable of finishing any reishi fanart

#just thinking thoughts... #WHY. #I'm literally so obsessed with them and yet these are still lying in my wip pile like ??? hello. come on bestie you got this #I'm so angry that the kissing under the painting of the ecstasy of st teresa one is still undone btw I think it's SO fucking funny #funniest bit in the history of soh's artwork and that's including the communism comic btw #I'm really sad about the bottom one btw. I think it's frankly beyond salvation and I need to restart it. #but I have to finish it otherwise I can't post right hand man on tumblr whyyyy why would I lock myself out of posting content like this #the top one. well. I just drew it earlier today actually. and you know what. I don't want to draw stairs actually LMAO #is it not enough to have a shitty 30 minute sketch??? #the composition also sucks for the bottom one lol. idk what's wrong with it but I don't like it #THE COMPOSITIONS ARE IMMACULATE FOR THE TOP TWO THOUGH. IT'S SO GOOD> #me (annoying as hell): do you see the negative space where eishi usually sits on the steps??? do you see it?? do you???? #and the ecstasy of st teresa one is just SUPER funny perspectivewise #you're like crouching next to their table at the fucking restaurant and peeping your eyes above the table and they're both watching you doit #like the concept of it is just HILARIOUS. #WITH THE LIGHTBULB AT THE TOP!! #there is just something about it. is it a halo? it could be.

#besties i'm going to be real honest with you #i am Not™️ doing all that great lately and it's been tough #there's a lot going on right now #and the impending dread of going back to work is making it 100000% times worse #it's not the fact that i don't *want* to go back to work #it's the fact i don't want to go back to my specific job #i'm just really struggling overall and it's hard and i feel so fucking stuck #i miss my friends i miss being a kid and not having to worry about the woes of adulthood #why can't life be so simple anymore #i'm sick and tired of feeling like i'm going to emotionally breakdown at any given point during the day!!! #i just want to be held and loved #but putting myself out there is scary!! and terrifying!! #i am fragile and emotional!!! #should this be a conversation with my therapist? yeah #literally told her today how fuckin ironic it is that all my emotional breakdowns happen *after* my therapy session #like last week? fucking broke down hysterically the day after therapy #today? only a few hours lmao #so yeah things are going great 🤪 #anywho... if i seem distant or... off it's not you it's me lmao #sierra speaks #tbd

The weirdest thing to me is Orihime is so... Seperate from everyone else. At first she got her powers from Ichigo, same as Chad, but then wait, Chad's actually just a fullbringer, shuffle him off to a different category, so Orihime's very unique and yet... It's unexplored? I know she has like two fights she REALLY gets to participate in (and one's in the FILLER) but she's made so special and so unused it makes for the weirdest vibe. Honestly all Ichigo's human friends get wasted but her case is special to me.

Oh god, don't get me started on the rest of the human crew. My tears, endless. And yet! Ripe and fertile grounds for plenty of fanfiction/ fan speculation! So it's not all bad, i suppose.

Anyway, I believe??? We get a crumb of validation vis a vis Fullbringers and their generalized weirdness in the novels...

[ lore spoilers for CFYOW and TYBWA if you're invested in keeping up with the anime + extra canon novels in order. Light spoilers under this note, heavy (picture/manga) spoilers under the cut]

I think that it's in CFYOW that Fullbringers are explained as actually having Tiny Mincemeat Pieces of the Soul King in them, which is what makes them so deliciously enticing to hollows. It's also said that you can have bigger/smaller pieces, leading to differentials in power.

And yet. Aura has a full organ (the soul chain/ power amplification organ) , and while she can put Kisuke Urahara on the back foot, that's still not quite the same as what Orihime does. Even for a fullbringer (if she does actually fit into that category along with Chad), she's pretty weird.

I don't beef super hard with her not participating in fights; it's cool that by the fullbringers' entrance, she's not afraid to get into the down and dirty of it, though. I mean, she does this to Ginjo:

and that's just some regular-degular boundaries and self-defense in in the day of a lady who can--

tank hits from Ywhach by the end of TYBW???

After he's absorbed the Soul King, no less. Her shield doesn't even crack.

Like. What's up with that? Weird vibes in fucking deed.

Husb also added an interesting aside, to the tune that souls in Bleach can be overwhelmed by spiritual power that far supersedes their own. It crushes them, renders them sweaty and unable to breathe- lays them flat out on the ground, in the case of Nanao with Yamamoto, or pulps them into paste outright (sometimes without them even being aware of it), such as Hyogoku! Moth-Aizen and that poor random human in Karakura.

It's not that Orihime is going to get 0hko'd, or that she couldn't sense Ywhach's reiatsu. If that were the case, her shield wouldn't be able to block a blow. Which leaves another scenario open to possibility....

So yeah. Weird vibes!

#asking for a friend: what filler arc is that again? I do love the filler with my entire heart i just don't remember it very well #me- tearing open my shirt to reveal a gay little croptop that just says MURAMASA on it #anyway i'm not going to get into pure power scaling nonsense #because i believe that 'power scaling' and 'narrative function' can't actually be separated from each other #and that the camera-man/visual narrator of bleach is neither omniscient nor objective #but that's a whole nother topic for a whole nother ask LOL #suffice to say orihime is weird as fuck and! despite supporting main cast position #yeah- kinda underutilized LOL #I would actually kill for an extended Orihime/Unohana interaction #that would be so fucking juicy you don't even understand #THE CONFLICTING IDEOLOGIES ALONE could knock out power in a 100 km radius #orihime #orihime inoue #bleach #spoilers #i don't even know how to categorize this tbh but it's fun to talk about it! #i feel like i have nothing coherent to add except 'you're so right bestie' to all the guys coming into my inbox today

#the way i keep finding fics that sound amazing but a quick search reveals L being mentioned literally 50-80 times and i have to hard pass #the last one every single mention i saw had her and ravi in the same sentence because they literally occupy the same space in the show #i hate it here #i just want some good buddie fun or buddie angst #but i can't get around her being forced into everything #because some people feel the need to defend some white woman side character whose personality and experience was changed #every scene she was in because they were just taking shit from other characters to give her something to do #since there wasn't ACTUALLY space for someone else on the team #but sure WE'RE the ones being weird about a side character 🙄🙄🙄 #anyway ignore me it's just happened to me more than once today and now i was robbed of two interesting sounding long fics #and i just want to scream #i will NEVER forgive KR for forcing this on us #having to navigate around 'girlboss bi-besties helps buddie get together' tay kay was bad enough but this is infinitely worse

Man i forgot how frustrating having to watch my tone all the time is

#i can't even say ''no i just wanted to say i'll be busy so not to worry if i don't answer a phonecall'' #bc yknow i set myself a lot to do for today #and immediately get hit with ''what - are you now angry?'' like you KNOW i'm not angry i am literally #just looking out for YOU so YOU don't worry #but God forbid i insinuate i won't always have time to chat #sigh. literally the only reason why i'm not gonna fake being busy over Easter weekend is bc i wanna see the besties #even tho i dread going home so fucking much even just for three days
