#break up i guess?

[weirdgirlcore]

as interesting as it is to speculate and theorise about how ed and stede's reunion in season 2 will go and how they're gonna work through ed's regression and make amends for stede's abandonment I really do think it would be so fucking funny if ed just takes one look at stede's new "gay dilf version of the man on the cover of every steamy period romance novel ever" look and is like nvm i'm in love with him again.

#i just think. if i was him. i could make an exception for him breaking my heart #like if hes going to show up to rescue me looking like that. idk rip to ed i guess but id fucking melt. id lose all will to fight #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #wails from the abyss

[asweetprologue]

ofmd and communion

(idk if it needs to be said but MAJOR fucking spoilers below)

okay so i’ve seen a few meta posts in the past week discussing Christian imagery and symbolism in Our Flag Means Death, and there’s a particular aspect of that which I’ve been itching to talk about. 

what I wanna discuss is the theme of consumption in this show, because there’s something really clever going on in this show with how people share food and I think it deserves to be pointed out. in literary theory, it’s typically understood that when someone is shown eating in a story, they’re not just eating. Eating in a narrative is always about consumption on a broader scale, and there’s essentially two acts that we associate with eating that come to mind during these scenes: communion, and sex. in this piece I’m going to be focused on the former, but keep in mind that it’s very rarely only one or the other. 

when I talk about communion here, I’m not just talking about it in a religious sense. communion in its most basic definition is just the sharing or exchanging ideas or values, thoughts and feelings, and coming to an understanding. in Christian tradition, communion is a common term for the Eucharist, the act of eating bread and drinking wine to commemorate the acts of Jesus Christ. it’s one of the most sacred and significant acts of worship in Christian theology, and it is the primary method of reaffirming commitment to the faith and signifying belonging. when I say that a scene in OFMD is a communion scene (or more often a false communion) I mean that it’s a moment in which the characters have the chance to commit to or find belonging with a certain group, act, or individual, and that decision is reflected in consumption within the scene. who eats and who does not always reflects the decisions and alliances of the characters involved. 

(much more below the cut)

now, @knowlesian​ has already made a VERY good post explaining how this symbolism is used in that particular scene between Izzy and Blackbeard. To quickly sum up, Ed is feeding Izzy literal flesh; the communion metaphor could not be more clear here. But in an actual act of communion, the idea is that you consume the flesh of God, not of yourself. Izzy’s act of communion here is naturally corrupt, an ouroboros of consumption. Through his worship of Ed, he only consumes himself. This scene is also laden with sexual metaphor as well, but for my purposes I’m focusing more on the communion aspect. 

this piece about Izzy’s communion is fascinating, but it is also part of a larger metaphor that is built up throughout the series. there are a lot of scenes in this show about eating, each one carrying the metaphor a bit further and contextualizing the actions of the characters in new ways. 

so in the first episode we have this scene, which is the first instance of eating seen in the show. significantly, this is a very sterile scene - not intimate at all. it’s tense, everyone is uncomfortable, and it’s meant to highlight how vulnerable stede is as a person. 

this scene is a communion scene, but a highly specific one - the first one. the Last Supper, which is fitting considering the death that follows it. very biblical. the food and drink here is stede’s. and significantly, the only people we see eating are stede’s crew, and only sparingly. At this point they are reluctant disciples, not yet committed to Stede, but we can see them warming up to him in the fact that they take cautious sips from their teacups and nervous nibbles of the crackers. Significantly, the English do not eat or drink at all, which foreshadows the hostilities to come. but the important thing here is the crew, who become more dedicated to stede after this moment

interestingly, the most obvious and unsubtle moment of consumption that we see in this scene is from Black Pete, who drinks from his goblet while talking about the flags to the english. especially interesting because he was the one calling for stede’s removal in previous scenes.

also in this episode we have this fucking scene, in which stede is painful, obviously removed from the aspect of breaking bread with his family. 

again, another dinner scene in which no one is seen eating anything. at the end you can see stede chewing, but we don’t see him eat on screen, and he’s alone in this act.

episodes two and three are sparse on the consumption metaphors, but there are two that kind of stand out - one being when lucius and stede drink the toe juice (kind of an initiation ritual / communion moment in which the juice represents the world of piracy, which stede is not yet ready to enter) and the tapas that he brings to the Spanish ship, which, yknow, he’s going to try and break bread with the spanish but will once again be betrayed, this time before the last supper can even happen.

episode 4 is when things get REALLY interesting here, and where parallels with Izzy’s later act of consumption can be made. the opening scenes to this episode are flashbacks to his time with Mary, which feature a lot of eating and drinking. 

when they first sit at the table together, mary holds a glass of wine, while stede is reading - another instance of a rejected communion, in this case where the wine is representative of their marriage (there’s more sex metaphor here, but again, I digress). Mary partakes in the act of communion, committing to their marriage, but stede doesn’t even have a glass. he doesn’t have the option to even try.

and then, of course, we get the breakfast scene.

this is a real divergence, and the first moment where the offer of shared food is truly accepted. stede and edward actually break bread; edward accepts and partakes in the communion as does stede. 

and yet - and this has to be intentional, I can’t imagine how it could be so deliberate otherwise - we don’t actually see edward eating the bread. it’s implied, we can see the movements, we know he did it. but both times that he bites into the bread, his face is covered by the rigging in between him and the camera. 

like... okay. yet another false communion, or at least not one fully realized. edward hasn’t truly committed to stede, to this relationship, which is confirmed in the next scene where he tells izzy he plans to use stede for his own personal gains.

brilliant, honestly. and that’s okay! because the next scene, stede will, of course, literally be teaching edward how to properly accept his offer of communion. 

i’m losing my mind! okay! okay. 

I can’t even begin to unpack this one. the empty table is hugely significant; Ed is attempting to commit to this world, to belong to it, but there’s no food for him to consume. though this is rectified in a later scene, the damage is done. we know that he has no chance of belonging here, because the option was never really presented to him. like the wine in episode 2, edward doesn’t even have the chance to belong here.

(we could say sooooo much about all of this running parallel to izzy’s experience with lucius and drawing the crew and the sexual aspect of it all BUT. we won’t)

episode five has no moments of consumption, but it is when edward finally decides not to kill stede and fully commits to him emotionally. and the next scene we have of people consuming anything together is this iconic moment:

in which we see, for the first time, edward partake in the communion. he drinks the tea that stede offers him, committing to them - not to the aristocratic society that stede comes from, but to stede himself, their relationship. 

and at the end of the episode this is reconfirmed when they decide to be co-captains, they again drink together in a mirror of the first scene.

and then we only go downhill from here. we have this scene in the next episode, where jack eats voraciously (it’s his table this time, even if the food belongs to stede) while edward is eating but not seen taking bites on screen, and stede doesn’t eat at all. once again, a false bread breaking, making it clear that stede and jack are at odds, with ed caught in the middle.

there’s no scenes of eating in episode 9, but then in episode 10 the metaphors are back full force - stede is back at the dinner table with his family, and no one is eating (more false communions) same as last time. ed is eating marmalade straight out of the jar, still participating in taking communion for his relationship with stede even though stede is no longer there.

this scene, in which all of stede’s peers are participating in worship of him, but stede doesn’t drink at all

and then, of course, izzy’s act of violent, self-destructive consumption, supposedly a communion in worship of blackbeard, but really just him consuming himself and his own delusions 

I don’t think I’m ready to say that there’s overtly religious symbolism in most of these scenes, because I don’t think there are. But I do think that the way this show uses the “breaking of bread” and refusals to engage with people over the dinner table is extremely impressive. you can basically read the alliances and commitments of everyone in this show only through what they eat, which is just a level of detail I thought couldn’t be intentional at first but now I believe couldn’t not be. idk I’m just obsessed with this show and its commitment to metaphor. ofmd is offering me a feast and I am partaking

Hi! Just consumed what i believe was all of your mlb content and i must say, i love it all. Your art is gorgeous your poses organic your dialogue hilarious and just, everything is great (want to especially mention that my favorites are the mentor au and your felix×nino comic, they simply pull at my heartstrings so beatifully and i must say itd be awesome if you felt up for some more felix×nino dynamic) i revel in your work and hope you are proud of all the awesomenes youve created

Truly hoping youll have joyious times ahead of you!

This is the sweetest message ever, omg! Thank you so much!!! 🥰

I kinda fell out of Miraculous for a little while (when S3 ended so badly that I nearly didn’t bother with S4), but now I’m back on the wagon and so pleased people still enjoy my silly art!! 💕

And YEAH, it’s about time for more Nino/Felix! Here’s some Twin AU content based on S4′s Rocketear; Adrien failed as Aspik so a Carapace identity reveal would be kinda rubbing it in. What if Nino went to Felix about his Alya/Chat conspiracy theories instead? 👀🔍

You got dumped, dude, just accept it! Don’t pin this on Chat Noir!

#miraculous ladybug #nino lahiffe #felix agreste #twin au #josie's art #asuugarbooklover #honestly this is SUCH a nice ask; thank you so much!!!! #i go wild when anyone mentions things they specifically enjoyed about my posts #i've read this message like 10 times now :'0 #also i'm so glad people like the Mentor AU; i know it's so far removed from the Twin AU which is the one that got popular #but i really enjoy it so it's great to know it isn't boring people!! #well not EVERYONE anyway and i'll take that :V #for this comic i figure alya did break up with nino to keep her secrets with marinette #which makes sense and also frees up nino to have this love-hate tension with adrien's horrible twin brother felix :D #also i wrote this with the perspective of felix having guessed carapace's identity a while ago and just dodging the responsibility #but maybe it's funnier if they both think they're making it up! interpret how you like; the only solid fact is they're totally crushing :)

i just noticed the parallel between these two scenes,, (they match up better than i remembered honestly),,, Jon was really doomed from the start of it all, huh?

Please write something about ironpanther. Anything at all. Right now, I'll even be fine with a 100 word drabble. There are not enough ironpanther fics

I tried and therefore no one should judge me.

“Anthony -”

“Don’t fucking touch me!” Tony flinched away from T’Challa’s outstretched arm and the comfort it tried to give. Fury and betrayal burned in his eyes. “Don’t ever touch me again. I can’t believe this. Right under my nose the entire damn time and I didn’t even see it. I’m suppose to be a genius, for fuck’s sake.”

“Anthony,” T’Challa tried again only for Tony to take two steps back. His heart chipped away at the obvious rejection.

“Fuck, I thought you were different. I thought you cared. So fucking stupid of me to believe that.”

“I do care, Anthony! My feelings were not lies.”

“Yeah? You’re standing there and telling me you care, even after I told you all the hell I’ve been going through thanks to my fucking ex-teammates that you’ve been hiding this entire fucking time? You’re telling me you care after you took off with Rogers and his buddy after they left me beaten in an abandoned Hydra bunker?”

“Rogers said you were well…”

“Oh, fucking Rogers told you that did he? Newsflash, king, don’t believe everything that Rogers says. He tends to not tell anyone jack shit.” Tony took a deep, shattered breath, arms and legs shaking. “I can’t deal with this right now. Do whatever you want. I don’t give a damn anymore. Burn them, babysit them, throw them to the wolves, just leave me out of this.”

T’Challa tried one more time to reach out. Again, Tony stepped back.

“I need to get out of here.” Completely void of emotion, but eyes showing everything, Tony mocked bowed. “Good day, your majesty.”

With nothing left in him Tony walked out the room and never looked back. T’Challa was left to stare at the spot he had stood on. The two droplets of tears the only evidence of Tony having been present.

What would happen if Crusade happened in the Cops and Mods AU how would Megatron react and how would Optimus react just to add a bit of ✨spice✨ if he was the one carrying Crusade how would things go down

I’d like to keep Crusade separate for C&M only because if there’s anything I love more than that megop kiddo—it’s the chance to make MORE megop kiddos

different au different bbys!

(names subject to change)

Optimus thought twins usually skip a generation. He wasn’t so lucky lol

As to how these troublemakers would add to the story hmmmm

There’s so many plot lines AHHH I can’t decide if they’d be planned—or a surprise, or even if they’d be born into a marriage or within a secret it’s all so dramatic and if there’s one thing this AU is consistent in—it’s the dramatics

you choose >:3

#I’ll wind up exploring several possibilities we’ll see #I’ve had these gals drafted for too long ONE day I’ll polish the designs #still figuring out their roles in the mob. should they choose to have one #maxim would serve as a nice private investigator or photographer #and hmmm maven I haven’t decided maybe following a semblance of her carrier’s footsteps w a career in music?? #we will SEE #transformers #my art #cops and mobs au #maxim #maven #transformers animated #megop #lol there was a point of time during my holiday break where I just made like. now I guess in total I’ve doodles/made #ehh 12 megop kiddos. including these two and crusade #FOR DESIGN FUN #THATS ALL. plus I could pull some peices of each for future ones perhaps >:] #lol could you imagine all twelve born to them those two would be fighting for their lives EVERYDAY

Forbidden Mob Psycho omake where Teru convinces Mob to go mountain biking with him for the exercise and the crux of the humor being 1) teru being a Rich Kid whose parents got him a Very Nice Bike and Cool Designer Accessories and 2) mob has a stupid dumpy little bike he hasn't ridden since elementary school that his dad helped adjust but it's still too small and also dumpy

#spitblaze says things #mp100 #terumob #i guess lol #the idea is that teru is like 'biking is great exercise you should try it sometime' #and mob is like 'uuuuh i can already walk or run anywhere i need to go and thats good exercise' #but terus like 'no no no its about the EXPERIENCE' and mob is like 'uuuuuuuuuh' #anyway the point is teru ropes him into this and mob ends up walking at some point because the bike just completely breaks

Why You're F#cking Amazing

Pick-a-Card

How to play: pick one of the photos below using your intuition. You can close your eyes and meditate for a bit or just take a few grounding breaths while thinking of the topic. Feeling drawn to more than one is fine! You might have messages in more than one pile

Pile 1 (x) Pile 2 (x) Pile 3 (x)

My pile numbers always go from left to right, then down to the text row (if applicable)

Pile 1

Cards: The High Priestess, Five of Swords, Seven of Pentacles, The Moon Rx, Five of Rods, Ace of Pentacles

You are so intuitive! You're either very in touch with your divine feminine or are working your way there right now. Something about you is severe in the most beautiful way. You can take things seriously when they need to and the way you command a room with just your presence is unmatched. Maybe you're also a tarot reader or involved in spirituality/divination in some way. Maybe you really like Pick-a-Cards.

Something beautiful about you is that you never give up on a fight, especially when you know the end is worth it. Your ambition is strong and you will fight for what you love and what you want. You are not weak-willed by any means.

This also makes you so unique! You work so hard and put so much labor into your love even if you know it will take a long time to come to fruition. The times that you feel discouraged by a lack of results are few and far between. If for some reason you do find yourself wistfully hoping for faster results or an easier path, you can easily remind yourself of why you started in the first place.

You might have moments where you think of yourself as sneaky or like you're hiding a part of yourself from others, like your true self would be too much for them. I'm here to tell you that your intensity is exactly what make you such a beautiful person! You thrive in competition and in adversity. It gives you a chance to show off your quick thinking and survival skills. Others look at you with envy of how you can make an opportunity out of seemingly nothing!

If you need help improving your self-love, Spirit says to stop comparing yourself to others! You are amazing and beautiful and unique all on your own! Throwing yourself into the fray to compete against others who are nothing like you will only fim your inner shine. And you really do shine! When I asked for a card about why you are beautiful, nearly half the damn deck flew out!

Sprit loves you and I love you so please take care of yourself and keep making those amazing opportunities to improve your physical surroundings. (I feel like you have a very clean room/home)

Pile 2

Cards: Nine of Rods, the World, King of Cups, Three of Rods, Ace of Rods, Two of Cups

Ahh the Loona pile!

Similar to Pile 1, but much more fiery! You are resilient! Taking time to collect yourself before pushing forward with a renewed sense of energy and purpose is such an amazing and useful trait. You maybe aren't as commanding of a presence but you have such an inner strength that no one can deny.

You got the World for the reason why you're beautiful! Maybe it's related to physically being very beautiful and possibly exotic-looking. You might have very specific features associated with a certain area of the world that stand out where you live. You also have such a wonderful understanding of the world and where it's currently at. Things can seem negative or like hope is lost but you still seek out the beauty and share it with others. You see opportunity where others do not and feel a sense of peace and connectedness with all of humanity. Wow!

Your uniqueness shines in your emotionality and compassion. You might be a natural born leader who makes sure to understand all under your rule. You lead with kindness and, most importantly, by example. You don't have any desire to use you position for ill-gotten gains. Power to you does not corrupt, it solely provides a tool for you to do good in the world and really make a difference in the lives of others, whether it's on a large or small scale. You are probably the kind of person who makes sure to give money to those who need it when you pass a begging mother and her children, or buying a homeless man a bottle of water on a hot day.

Your card for why you think you are not perfect actually came out quite positive. Maybe you don't have a very low self esteem, but I can see a few possible scenarios here. You might be constantly planning in your head, waiting and watching for the next move to take but never actually getting to the action part. Maybe you're planning for your future and have so much planned out that you're excited for, but haven't made the practical plans on how to actually get there. This could make you feel bad about yourself especially on days where you're reminded of others moving ahead in their lives while you're still planning. Visualisation is very important in manifesting your desired reality! If you are moving slower than others around you, remember that it is okay to not be where "everyone else" is. Life is not a race or a competition. Taking your time to get to where you need to be when you need to be there reminds me of the story of the tortoise and the hare. Quick does not necessarily mean better.

You can improve your self-love by creating! Using your creativity and passion to make something! Create art, whether it's physical/digital art, music, writing, inventing, anything that uses those creative muscles of yours. It doesn't have to be good! Just creating something will help burn up that excess energy you have that's trying to rush you somewhere. Self-expression this way can be a wonderful hobby even if you don't consider yourself as a creative person.

Your kindness really shines through. You care so deeply about the people around you and your spiritual team cares just as deeply about you. You are loved and watched over and protected by Spirit. Others around you also see your sparkle and appreciate and admire you, even if they don't show it. Know you are beautiful and amazing and bringing a light into this world that needs to be here.

Pile 3

Cards: Six of Rods, the Hierophant, Four of Rods, Six of Cups, Ten of Swords, the Hermit Rx

Damn, who are y'all!? You've got some mighty power and pull in this world. Maybe you're a public figure or have some kind of platform, like a social media with many followers. You could also be well-recognized within your field of study/work. Whoever you are, people see you and look up to you. They celebrate you and how amazing you are! Spirit loves this about you and you really shine in the spotlight. Your achievements deserve all this pomp and celebration!

You are naturally authoritative. People listen when you speak and take your words to heart. You might also be a religious person or someone who enjoys organization and the comfort of hierarchy. People will willingly follow you wherever you lead them because they trust you with all their hearts. "A merciful ruler" (lol) You hold your position with grace and dignity befitting a king or queen.

You are unique in ways the public recognizes, but we knew that already! You might be someone who likes to entertain and you throw the greatest parties and get-togethers. Maybe you've planned a wedding and everyone had such an amazing time! You know how to relax and have fun when the time for celebrating arrives. You can out down your guard and bit and let loose. Not many people with such responsibility can let go of the reigns like that, but you don't seem to hold on to control too tightly.

Your past might be a source of anxiety for you. Maybe you're worried that what you've done when you were younger will catch up to you and ruin what you've got going on now, but it's important to remember that the past is the past. It cannot be undone or wished away. Taking time to accept what happened and recognizing that you've moved on to bigger and better things is important here. Whatever happened, take time to heal your childhood wounds and forgive past actions.

Ending this cycle will bring much more self-love to your life. Old habits and patterns being out to rest is the way forward. It might be a painful ending and something you don't necessarily look forward to, but it is something that needs to happen to clear out old energy and welcome in everything new. You can't expect to move on if you're still repeating old actions or ways of thinking. It's time to set these things to rest and evolve. Leave behind what no longer serves you.

Your understanding of yourself knows no bounds. You've taken the time to inquisit yourself and learn all of the shadows that lie there. Self-reflection might be a favored pastime for you. Through this knowledge of yourself you are able to see truths that many struggle to see all their lives. Your light can cut through the fog if bullshit and see the true source of something. Use this knowledge of yourself to become the best version of yourself that you can be! I know you're already on your way there and it's amazing to see! Spirit is so proud of you and loves you so much!

I'm beginning to wonder if the reveal of everything will happen because Anya gets found by the scientists who originally had her and kidnap her.

And when Loid goes after her because how dare they take his daughter from him they are jeopardising Operation Strix he discovers that his beloved fake wife is also there and ready to stab people but also saw him be super spy like and they both finally clue in that the other is not what they seem.

But they have to come clean because there is something more inportant at stake, saving Anya...and what do you mean they took her because she's a telepath???. Yor is all 'how dare you lie to me I can't believe you are my enemy...I would stab you right now but my knives are busy and also Anya might cry'. And Loid is kind of stuck on the fact that Yor is somehow more dangerous than her SSS brother and knows she can kick his ass so he's reacting rather than acting for now.

So they team up to get their daughter back instead of murder each other. And oh shit they are actually a super good and coordinated team if only they weren't on opposite sid...'wait, the people you work with want to PREVENT a war, too???'.

Of course, by the time they get to Anya, Bond got there first.

#spy x family #manga spoilers #i guess #because bond and yuri #but i assume this manga won't end in angst #it would be a crime to break up anya's family #so i assume that they will stick together for a mutual agenda in the end #(the mutual agenda is love) #but first they'll need to not stab each other on reveal #hence the mutual goal and distraction of saving their daughter

Guys I got Jean last night! Literally 20 pulls after Ayato!! And then I got Elegy for the End!!! I only had 51 wishes!!!! And even though that would mark the end of this account, I've decided that I want to continue as I still have many ideas and time to improve! So in celebration of getting Jean I will simply take a 2 day break then continue drawing Venti everyday after the break! Thank you!! <3

#this sounds silly probably but thank you guys sm for all the kind words #i would not have been able to keep this up this long without all the sweet tags and comments and asks #at the time of making this i have drawn our favorite bard everyday for 79 days without skipping a day #bro i was already second guessing myself at day 15 u guys are so powerful #i will answer some asks within these 2 days of break then im back to drawing venti like regular! #i dont know what my goal should be now tbh but i'll figure something out #insane that i got elegy i wasnt really planning to pull for it but i thought why not and it happened #i still want skyward harp since uhh my main team is anemo only and i cant really swirl #i honestly dont know what to do with elegy maybe ill have 2 builds for venti #em for coop and raw anemo dps for solo #anyways if youve read this far i hope ur having a wonderful day and i love you <3 #seriously mwah mwah mwah

well, i guess we all expected this was coming. but still stings

#st4 #lumax #lucas sinclair #mac mayfield #sigh #i guess this confirms that their break up happened off screen #kinda would've wanted to see it at least but oh well #well the only way from here is up i guess #so let's hope we'll get some good character moments and an arch for them this season! #the part about lucas still being concerned about max and trying to reach out for her #seems in character #and should put those dumb rumors of him breaking up with her cause he thinks he's too cool for her now to rest #two more weeks to emotionally prepare for this angst! #st spoilers #st4 spoilers #just in case

Okay so I saw a post about someone wanting the disaster lineage posed like sorority girls and I couldn’t get it out of my head.  

#yoda is taking the picture but can't figure out the camera and ahsoka gets directed over to help frog grandpa like 5 times #yoda just keeps accidentally taking selfies and now anakins phone has 56 awkward photos of yoda's face #anakin just starts using the best ones as reaction images in the lineage groupchat #dooku is so tired of these photos at this point (tho ofc he loves the grandpadawans even if he'd never say it) #you just know obi wan has been whispering sassy things the whole time trying to get anakin to lighten up #obi wan kenobi #ahsoka tano #anakin skywalker #qui gon jinn #count dooku #dooku #star wars #disaster lineage #tcw #the clone wars #finished this a day ago but got around to uploading now #cant find the og post now and I'm sad :( #anakin doesn't even know why he's angry - per the usual #um everyone is alive and well I guess??? #so qui gon just never died and dooku is taking a break from the CIS for a hot sec #also just realized this lineage all have blue eyes EXCEPT for dooku and yoda #weird #praying that tumblr doesnt tank the quality on this and make the lines blurry :/ #also I know very little about sororities #but the idea of the jedi mimicking those terrifying traditions that circulate on social media when they pick their padawan? #priceless #omfg when you see a mistake after looking over the image 5 times and have already posted it >:( #oh well #my art

btw my apple pencil tip is on it's very last leg so i have to wait until my new ones get in to draw, this is mainly @ commissioners but also just a general update for everyone i guess 😔

#i apologize to my commissioners it might take a few extra days #in the meantime i might post some works in progresses? #and i'll definitely break out the ol pencil and sketchbook #maybe do some traditional requests during my zoom class today #actually yeah if you're reading this send in little doodle requests #i know i say this and then end up doing only like three but i appreciate everyone that sends something in #anyways i never post wips here but maybe that would be fun #i usually do that on my personal blog but idk why #if you're interested in seeing that let me know i guess #ruben speaks
