Click for quality?? Forgot tumblr eats png files for some reason..Anyway I finally found out how I want to draw Alastor lol

I'm rewatching Hazbin Hotel with my friend and we were freaking out trying to figure out what that horizontal line across is chest is supposed to be...wouldn't be surprised if Viv didn't know either lol (no shade) ((a little shade))

#really liked this one so i figured i could start posting on tumblr lol #this feels weird #but ya i think it'll make drawing more fun #hazbin hotel #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel fanart #alastor hazbin hotel #i hate his hair so much lol...i actually thought i liked it before i tried to draw it #and realized how much it bothered me #redesign wasn't really based on lovesarts design from youtube #but i have seen it before and really liked it so it probably influenced this #mostly its a blend of the original elements i actually liked and that uuuh #fandom human version who's white for some reason #youve seen him before im sure #hazbin redesign #hazbin hotel redesign #hazbin hotel critical #last tag there bc i think those usually go hand in hand with the redesigns?? #and also for blocking purposes ig #i like him a lot lol. made him kind of a DILF #if i did this again i would make the insides of his ears visible bc i forgot but oh well

[littlespoonevan]

the thing about romcoms is just- it's never meant to be 'is it believable?' but instead 'do you believe it?' do you believe these two characters are actually falling in love with each other??? do you believe their chemistry??? do you believe whatever obstacle is thrown in their way is legitimately something that might keep them apart for a time and not something that could be solved with one conversation?? do you believe that they believe they need to fake date for this very specific reason??? do you believe the reason why they're 'enemies' at the start, no matter how silly a misunderstanding it may be??? do you believe the grand romantic gesture fits the characters and is actually how one character would show their love to the other?? like!!!! it's about empathy and authenticity and feeling what the characters feel so strongly that even if it's a trope or a cliché it doesn't matter because you believe it

#this is what separates a good romcom from a bad romcom for me #if the conventions of the genre are used in a way that feels authentic to the characters then it'll never feel cheesy #one of my biggest pet peeves is some of the romcoms of the last decade who have this real 'we're not like other romcoms' energy #where they try to act like they're Different and move away from the usual tropes but it's shit bc that's not the point!!!! #those tropes and conventions are staples of the genre for a reason #it's how you utilise them and incorporate them that matters #like fuck me i hate action movies but i know if i go see one there's a 99% chance there'll be a car chase scene #bc that's usually a staple feature of an action movie and i mean idc but that's fine bc i know it has a function in the story to increase #the tension #and even at that someone who really loves action movies could probably tell me the difference between a good car chase scene & a subpar one #in the same way that just saying something is fake dating doesn't automatically make it good #but if i believe it and i'm in it with the characters? oh boy i'm about to feel so dELIGHTED for the next 90 minutes thank you so much #anyway i'm rewatching the lost city and every second of this movie is so silly in a fun way and fantastical but oH BOY DO I BELIEVE IT #mine

Hey you. Yes, you.

Do you like superheroes?

Of course you do. They're cool. They do stuff like leap across rooftops and kick bad guys in the face.

Do you want to leap across rooftops and kick bad guys in the face?

I'm not suggesting you do those things, of course. Well, it depends on the bad guy. But would you like to be fit enough to do those things?

Then join my new discord server Miraculous Fitness!

Hello! I've had the idea for this server for a while and finally decided to go through with it. Despite the intro I just gave, the intent here isn't to whip people into so much shape that they're able to do superheroey things (I certainly can't lmao); it's just to provide a motivating, comfortable, fun online fitness space for people who already know each other through this fandom. A lot of people in fandom/artist/writer communities have never vibed well with gym/athletic culture, but still want to maintain their health and fitness. If that sounds like you, this is your chance to help start a fitness community of like-minded people who already share a nerdy, silly interest with you!

Everyone is welcome, whether you're a star athlete or a complete beginner. Whether your goal is to run a 5k, do 10 pushups, plank for one minute, or to simply cheer others on as they train to do those things. My goal is just to create a fun, safe, fitness-oriented environment for this fandom community! (And to get better at push-ups/planks/running. I really need to get better at those things.)

I hope to see you there!

#мой пост #miraculous ladybug #ml #miraculous #also let me just say that i have never run a discord server before and am generally very inexperienced with discord #and i am also very busy in my life these days so like maybe i shouldnt start this buuuuut i really want to #i think it'll help me with my own fitness. lol #you caught me. i have an ulterior motive #but yeah fitness is fun the gym is fun running is fun when i dont feel like im dying doing it and i want you all to have fun with me

well mark that down as situation 2938489 that I don't know how to handle

#i would love advice on this if y'all have any thoughts to share because i know what my parents think and im having trouble sorting it out #i love these three friends of mine but it is really draining to be around them now because all they will talk about is church drama #(re: our old church) and rehashing it all and being Outraged about the horrors etc etc #either that or being downright condescending about protestants/non denominations and acting like it's funny to talk like that all the time #i end up being more angry or resentful or exasperated at the end of our conversations than glad and at peace like i did before #(before all THIS ish happened and the three of them were like okay this is all we're going to talk about now) #i've tried to say in gentle ways (i am simply not capable of this kind of blunt confrontation) that maybe we should not be talking #so uncharitably towards other people especially behind their backs. like. yes bad things happened. we have to acknowledge that. #but continually making jokes and jibes at a priest's expense really rubs me the wrong way especially since i KNOW that he loves us #and in many ways was trying his best in the circumstances. and are we not supposed to be loving our neighbour #and is this not downright slander to keep going on this way esp since it goes on for HOURS at a time #anyway i don't know what to DO because if i keep chatting with them/meeting up with them conversation will be 90% this thing and i Hate It #but on the other hand i feel responsibility towards them because my godson's one of them and another is a friend who is a fairly recent #convert and if i leave them to stew in their own echo chamber i doubt it'll do them good #am i supposed to keep some distance? am i supposed to keep arguing whenever one of them says something unkind or inflammatory? #am i supposed to keep speaking up so that they hear a different perspective? am i supposed to run in the other direction for my own peace o #mind? anyway i am still thinking this over and it stresses me OUT #it used to be fun and life giving to be around these people and now it is so exhausting and seriously alarming in many ways

wait, did you see fk in Italy??

Alas, I did not! I was around 250km too south for that, visiting a friend and being stuffed full of sfogliatelle.

Honestly, fan meetings really aren't my speed or I'd have tried harder to go, but there's a bit too much singing and screaming for my tastes. It looks like the boys had fun, though!

#i do intend to visit rome someday but it'll be for boring things like history and architecture and food #i do also feel i'd be rather outside the target age demographic of the audience at something like an fm #that's my own personal bias tho full love to anyone who attends and enjoys these things! #i am unfortunately in the camp of people who dies a little more every time gmm make their actors sing #i have other extremely unpopular opinions but those aren't for sharing #anyway i had italy planned first so really those boys copied me #they just got the destination wrong rip to them #it's very sweet to see them all having fun in a european city tho it's lovely #ask post #so it is decreed #anonymous

far enough in the lace section that my golden autumn shawl actually looks like something

#sort of regretting not using more visible beads but it was hard finding something i really liked with this yarn #now im wondering if i should try a niebling doily next. the answer is no bc i should aim to knit something i can use ever #& not make choices that encourage me to buy even more $40 skeins of pure silk rather than using the many extremely nice yarns i have #but i do enjoy knitting mildly elaborate lace and feeling smug. #box opener #knitting #i'm using dyeforyarn laceweight tussah silk and it is SO nice i'm really loving it. was worried it'd be splitty but so far not much #very soft very pleasant fabric. this thing will probably come out kind of small given that i'm down to like 3mms to get a fabric i like #but if i wear it it'll be as a scarf anyway. and it's sooo soft so who cares. #look at that fun honeycombed lace netting between the floral motifs. what more can a man want in life

going to keep this vague on purpose but playing reload has reactivated brain chemicals in me that i forgot i had.

i think i'd want to make a more thought out post later, but i think my favorite thing about reload (aside from seeing minato in full HD glory) is how much it's made me think about video games as a storytelling medium- specifically with what mechanics and game design imply for characters.

there's a lot of quality of life features added to reload that help players easily enter a flow state and get immersed in the gameplay (most notable with tartarus)! which is so dope! reload has been such a nice blend of the mechanics from both FES and portable and it feels like a love letter to persona 3 fans.

there are definitely mechanics i miss from FES (minato's ability to wield multiple weapons being one of them). i can't deny that FES has some dated mechanics that don't necessarily feel fun for the player experience... but!

i think i mostly miss things from FES because i feel like so much of minato's characterization (for me) was informed by the gameplay experience and mechanics (e.g. fatigue system). obviously there's still other ways you can put together his personality (his dialogue responses), but i think game mechanics are a bit part of it, for me.

but in spite of that, i think reload is a really nice introduction to persona 3, it's so much more accessible and has a bunch of things to help make it more fun :) so far i think i'd recommend it to people :D

#persona 3 #persona 3 reload #i don't even really talk about mechanics from reload specifically here but just in case haha #lizzy speaks #im really enjoying this game. i dont want to get into specific details abt reload in a text post atm #and if i do in the future it'll be under the cut #but my god this game is giving me big brainrot #i know i tend to mostly just be like 'hehe fanart reblogging time and here is me talking about the two guys i like' #but playing reload again reminded me of how much i loved playing FES because it was so fun for me to see how FES was designed #like... every time i finished FES i'd think about how much modernsona evolved the gameplay formula and built upon it #and now every time i finish reload i think 'goddamn they've really nailed the formula this experience is so fun' #but also it's fun for me to think about the different experiences curated by both FES and reload #i don't really know if anyone would play FES anymore with reload being out but i still really like the takeaways from FES #FES mechanics may not be the most convenient for the player but they definitely help sell the narrative in ways that only a video game can #like sometimes i just think about the movies and while its a good summary of the events it feels more like supplementary material #like p3 is 80+ hours and in order to have that 6 hour movie experience there's so much that has to be condensed/removed. they hit different #sometime after i finish reload im going to make a text post about my favorite mechanics from FES and how you can read into minato's- #character from it (i don't feel like it's very original but GUYS I LOVE GAME DESIGN GAME DESIGN IS SO COOL AND INTERESTING) #anyways. i needed 2 get my feelings out there. im on august 4th rn. this game is so awesome i love experiencing minato's day to day life #and i fucking LOVE TARTARUS!!!!!! (this tower is my beloved i can just live here forever). #i love having no expectations for video games ever because then i get knocked out of my seat im having so much fun. ok bye. back to the voi

New Transmission The fucking Scientific Instrument Class Pseudocons apparently developed what they're calling "Hetero Sapience" and are corrupting the brainmodules of the non-Pseudo 'cons around them by using annoying xenophilosophy words. Soundwave tells me they're 'Greek' and 'Latin' words, apparently. Cool, I guess? Anyway, if you see any SI Class 'cons causing... issues, just try your hardest to turn your brainmodule off before you start getting infected with their weird lingo, alongside all the other issues pertaining to letting the SI Pseudocons transmit data into your brainmodule in their own weird ways. Thundercracker, on a bet with Starscream, tried to get into an argument with one of them and his head literally exploded when it started talking about Alpha Trion's "Mythological Origins" in its weird dialect. He's mostly fine, CR Pods are working at 'peak' efficiency, but the facial reconstruction is apparently impossible due to some kind of corruption. I thought it was just some weird prank but there weren't even any scorch marks or anything. Just exploded. So yeah, just avoid optical contact and auditory contact to the best of your ability and you should be fine. Otherwise, try to force-shutdown your brainmodule if you can. Shockwave is working on a cure right now, mostly because I know he had something to do with this in the first place so he's going to be the one to fix it. He probably wanted a greater justification to do that weird data-transfer idea he mentioned previously. But it also explains the weird Thunderwing hypotheticals he's been asking me lately... Can I go one fucking cycle without someone trying to "Perfect Thunderwing's Work" or whatever other idiotic drivel that I keep finding our limited energon reserves siphoned into?? It's not even a Shockwave thing, it's like every damn Cybertronian these days thinks they have the "Missing piece of the puzzle" or whatever. In fact, Shockwave might be doing this as a weird threat against the other R&D 'cons to cement himself as the one and only Decepticon "Allowed" to have resources wasted on projects like that. Ugh, now that I think about it, that's probably a correct assumption and he's probably gonna expect me to thank him for it later. Ugh, and he's probably literally right. Ugh. At least his repairs both to himself and to his lab seem to be mostly complete so further research into the SI project should hopefully come along a little faster. Both Shockwave and Soundwave think the SIs could potentially be used as some kind of specialty weapon, but we'll have to see how they work on sparkless lifeforms, like biological lifeforms or xenomechanical lifeforms. The SIs don't seem to corrupt each other, but Shockwave keeps reaffirming that they're not "Sparkless Lifeforms" because they "were never lifeforms to begin with"... but I think he's trying to hide something. Usually Soundwave is the one to pick up on that kind of technological obfuscation, but he actually agreed with Shockwave and offered to send Ratbat to try to work out exactly what each "sapient" SI is now capable of on a personal level. We could have just had regular Cybertronians aboard to fill the role SIs fill. I would've preferred K Class to fill any role an SI could fill in all honesty!! But no, constructing cold wasn't enough, we just had to try to learn how to "Construct Frozen" and the "Absolute Zeroes" just had to be put on my ship. Whatever. I've probably said too much already. This was supposed to be a warning for my ship crew, but it's looking like it'll end up being transcribed on the golden disk as well so when this new Scientific Instruments of Destruction project backfires in some absurdly bombastic way there will at least be something remaining that says I was right. End of Transmission

New Transmission Okay so I was right, but so was Shockwave and Soundwave. Or, well, they were right just enough to make sure the backfire is postponed for at least another handful of cycles. Ratbat is still in CR from the investigation, but the cure Shockwave developed seems to be effective and Thundercracker is out and aiding the repair effort. Shockwave is now in contact with one of the SIs digitally and the other few are... integrating due to the personal efforts of Soundwave. I suppose now would be pertinent to mention not all the SIs developed the "Hetero Sapience" condition, many of them are safe for interaction. Soundwave is also currently monitoring their presence, Ravage is tasked with the regular SIs and Laserbeak is tasked with the "Sapient" SIs. Shockwave probably knows exactly what caused this event but he is preoccupied with the one he no doubt is either indoctrinating or ruthlessly interrogating. Report to Soundwave if you see any suspicious behavior, he has been working very hard to ensure the SIs have their purpose clearly defined (And closely monitored). And, Starscream, stop trying to convince the SIs that you are the leader of this ship. Not only have the majority of your efforts been wasted on subsentient automata, the only one you have actually found who possesses the ability to truly listen to you immediately came to the bridge to complain about you. They were the first sapient SI I communicated with directly and it was because they felt the need to complain about you. I almost feel embarrassed for you. Come back to the bridge so you can apologize to it or so I can teach it how to laugh at you. It's practicing right now actually! This moment of chaos should hopefully be largely under control now, the actual "population" of Scientific Instrument Class Pseudocons was actually quite fewer than initially expected due to an indexing error incorrectly labeling certain shells as SI class. At the very least, we have some more specialty warriors because of it all. End of Transmission EOF

i see everyone fill up the gmmtv 2024 bingo card and it's like. i don't really have any predictions and i also don't have enough things that i want in order to fill up the entire thing.

i really only have three four wishes for gmmtv 2024:

firstmix 12 ep main couple series

earth/fourth return as an uncle-nephew duo

joongdunk series, but better written and more serious/deeper/grittier/darker/sexier this time. bonus points for vampires

midnight museum s2 but make it canonically gay and also bring back nanon as The One (and KEEP him as The One!!!!)

#i was gonna say ''three wishes'' like in your classic fairytale but then i remembered midnight museum #and i just HAD to include it on my list lbr #also i'm not too big of a fan of horny/sexy series bc i'm a little too much on the sex-repulsed side of the ace spectrum for that #but!! judging by JD's dum dum performance and also how excited they were for hidden agenda ep8 #i feel like they would have a whooole lot of fun with a sexy ofts-type of series #so i want it for them #for their sake <3 #gmmtv 2024 #gmmtv 2024 wish list #airenyah plappert #adrm #actually dunk was saying only yesterday that he'd like try and act in a fantasy/magic related series #and then he gave vampires as an example sooooo 👀 #also this happened RIGHT AFTER he was asked to give some spoilers upon which he told the audience to follow gmmtv 2024 #(though i think he was asked by the presenter what kind of series he'd like to do) #(she asked him a question before he talked about the fantasy series thing) #(but i couldn't really understand the question) #anyway i'm very 👀 #i suspect dunk def has a series planned for 2024. though i have no idea if it'll be with joong or something else #might even be a het thing who knows

[licorishh]

Listen I don't like to headcanon every character in everything as being neurodivergent because for one thing that's not realistic to have everyone in a random group of people be that way and often times it involves actually changing certain aspects of a character just to fit what you want which is not very cool, and for another thing I feel like it kinda minimizes the seriousness of things like autism and ADHD that really shouldn't be seen as "cute little quirks" BUT Alhaitham and Kaveh have one of the most autism + ADHD dynamics I've ever seen

Like realistically just taking the way they are

Mr. "Very Blunt but Not Because He Thinks He's Better Than Everyone, He's Just Extremely Intelligent and Matter-of-Fact, Can Only See Social Cues if They're Logical and on a Cognitive Level but He Doesn't Read Much Into It, Major Auditory Sensory Issues, Hates Talking Too Much With a Loathing, Doesn't Make Eye Contact For Longer Than Like Ten Seconds, Actually Talks a Lot When He's Talking About Something He's Either Planning or is Interested In," and Mr. "Constantly Frazzled and Squirrel-Brained, Loses Everything He Owns, Extremely Particular About Having The House 'Just So,' Has Tons of Financial Issues Not Because He's Lazy But Because He's Overly Dedicated to His Hyperfixation and Forgets to Live in The Real Word, Very Impulsive, Gets Easily Overwhelmed When He Has Too Much in His Head at Once and Too Many Expectations, Takes Alhaitham's Blunt Comments Wayyy Too Personally and Constantly Lives in Fear of Failure and Disappointing the People Who Count on Him," yeah you see where I'm going with this

This guy made a super interesting (and very underrated) video where he explains it really well!

I personally didn't agree with what he said about Kaveh, though. I think Kaveh's constant arguing and baiting comes from a place of wanting affirmation and desperately wanting to prove himself, particularly to the guy who used to be his best friend and now acts like he can't stand him (I know that's not the case and that Alhaitham mostly just thinks he's immature), and I think he has a lot of self-esteem issues that drive his behavior towards Alhaitham. I don't think it comes from a place of hate. I think he wishes they could communicate better and that they didn't have such a rift between them, but Alhaitham's failure to pick up on Kaveh's desire for affirmation and assurance (which I think is because Kaveh's not making it at all clear to him) isn't helping anything.

Tl;dr Kaveh's not actually immature, just has his own issues to work through including poor self-esteem which leads to him constantly asking for Alhaitham's opinion and constantly getting upset when Alhaitham disapproves or corrects or scolds him yet again because in his mind he thinks he hates him and he's desperate for him not to but he doesn't and just isn't good at making that clear. It's a loop, I think.

This turned into "Man look at these silly little relatable guys lol" into "Here let's do a character analysis" ksjdfhk

#genshin #genshin impact #alhaitham #kaveh #genshin alhaitham #genshin kaveh #alhaitham's insane introversion and irritation towards unnecessary flowery meetings and arrangements is a big mood #as is kaveh's inability to just Be a Person #like i said i'm not a fan of headcanonning tons of characters as being this way #if it already makes a lot of sense with the way they already are naturally then i think it's cool and can make it more relatable or fun #or can give you a better understanding of the character and higher sympathy for them #but changing a character's... well- character to fit them into a box you'd like them to be in is a little odd to me #and like i said these are things that should be taken seriously and not treated as funny little quirks like having heterochromia or smth #but for characters that it could easily apply to i think it's fine to have fun with it lol #like rottmnt did it so well with donnie and mikey and leo #they made it realistic and normal and portrayed it in such a good good way #it didn't feel forced or like they were just checking a box which i really appreciate #the more natural it is the better it'll be #i mean these are like the only two characters in the game that i actually headcanon this way #i guess you could make an argument for cyno but really the only thing he does is not pick up on sense of humor which is super frickin commo #and he's quite good at telling when people are lying and he doesn't really exhibit any other traits so i really don't think he's nd #in other words being more logical does not equal autism and being squirrely or enthusiastic does not equal adhd and that's really important #like with xiao for example #he can come off as cold and fundamentally does not understand humans and finds a lot of their behaviors to be a waste of time #but that's just because of his personality and because of how little time he's spent with humans #he does value deep connections and a single “ahem” from the traveler is enough to let him know to just accept a gift so he's fine with cues #or with albedo #he's just very logical and sometimes blunt but that's about it #just my thoughts tho #feel free to discuss!
