#but from all i saw about this dude

[ink-the-artist]

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

#it was a weird class #it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow #I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy #and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess? #she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason #standing is a lot more tiring than walking #i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life #did not like the teacher tho #on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies) #which is very nice #but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it #like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now #and also kind of racist #she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person #and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner #im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist #she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist #she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately #like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all #also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once #also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips #she was like a walking russian stereotype lol #anyway heres some ink the artist lore

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?

day 356

BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails

truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute

#day 356 #year 4 #dave strider #aradia megido #aradave #homestuck #she really saw this kid and was like OH YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR MORTALITY?? :D #boy do i have some relevant life experience and wisdom to impart on THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY #and then she just. very gently and kindly makes the subject more approachable for ghostdave #the pesterlog i linked is literally my FAVORITE aradia moment. to me it is THE character defining moment for god tier aradia #yes she is being kind of ominous and trickstery at first #but it VERY quickly becomes clear shes got genuine concern for this kid she's had very little to do with up until this point #she really wants to connect with him over their shared time aspect stuff #and she really DOES care about how he feels about everything. she wants to help and she wants to put him at ease #because she KNOWS from experience that being dead and having to cope with what that means for you is like VERY UPSETTING AND TRAUMATIC #shes not just like. 'hee hee i think death is great and awesome because im edgy' #shes like 'no dude being dead is scary if you dont have anybody to explain this shit to you. so im going to explain it-' #'-and hopefully by the end of this conversation you will have some new things to feel relief and maybe even joy and excitement about' #'not just in spite of the death thing but BECAUSE of it' #i know shes spooky and has weirdgirl swag and we all love that about her but like #at her core she is a very KIND person. she may occasionally struggle to connect to people through the Death Special Interest Haze #but she WANTS to and when she DOES she is like. a genuinely very warm and comforting presence for her friends #ANYWAY. if andrew hussie or i guess james roach now want to give me an honorary doctorate for my 12+ years of intensive aradia studies #i will be here waiting patiently

#MR FUCKIN PLANES HIMSELF FROM GTI!!!! OUR BEST FRIEND #emolga #i dunno if anyone is gonna get that reference but this one time i saw like. a paradise crew askblog on here randomly and the post i happene #to see was someone asking emolga what thing he thought was coolest to hear about from the human world. and he said like #fuckin planes dude how do they work #and i thought that was the most emolga quote ever and i loved it. and it's been bouncing around in my head ever since even though #i don't even know who wrote it. i dunno the askblog or if it even exists anymore #but either way. this is still like the only pmd character with a canon blush sprite besides watchog i think from psmd #everyone knows he eventually rejects virizion for dunsparce. his very obvious crush on dunsparce throughout the whole game #i have so many thoughts about gti it really is the best pmd game. in some senses. gti and also eotds and also smd are all my favorite pmds #that's three out of four of them and no i am not cheating

Knives is such a hypocrite and a liar and he lies most of all to himself and i hate him but i also love it. Bro's so coked up on copium all the time.

Claims to be doing it all for the sake of Plants, then arguably takes away their agency and freedom way more than humans ever could. Claims to be doing it for his brother and literally ruins his brother's life in every possible turn. Claims humanity never learns from their mistakes and it literally takes dying for him to stop doubling down on his bullshit. the medical abuse done unto tesla horrified him so much and yet he is directly responsible to the same abuse being subjected to countless of children.

Given the chance, I would love to be his sleep paralysis demon. i do not think I could fix him, but I think I can drive him to early retirement from super villainy.

#millions knives #trigun #tristamp #trimax #i hate this man but also i adore him #or at least i adore grinding his psyche between my teeth #guy has so much crunch to him #the worst possible man to me i need to ruin his life #i gotta say that when i first got into trigun the overall tone coming from the fanbase did soften me up to get absolutely demolished by #literally all the fucked up things happening all the time #but i see less ppl horrified about the fucked up things knives does to the sisters he claims to be protecting than i expected?? #which idk feels like a waste #also saw someone who said who doesn't like a villain who just wants to protect his sisters and dude if that is what protection looks like #id rather be thrown to the wolves #he is so fascinating to me but also i understand him on a molecular level and thats why i hate him so much but again #crunchy guy #nai saverem #vash's mommy issues have nothing on knives i can prove it ( i cannot but i can infer and i can dream)

mousefur and longtail are both asexual aromantic in some sort of qpr relationship with one another. Do you get it do you see my vision

#They’re life partners. One does not want to be without the other. But romantic and. The other kind of feeling are totally void from it #Is it still a queer platonic relationship if it’s a man and a woman that are ace/aro? I THINK so because the ace aro is the queer part #So that’s what I’m calling it! #when I was a kid I saw them as a romantic couple because I was very. Dense and basic on my views of things #(Ie I didn’t know gay people existed until I saw it in Undertale) #BUT. Mousefur is very obviously ace aro. And longtail also never takes a mate or has any romantic involvements or kits #So as an informed adult™️ I think this fits much better #Also I had forgotten about the fact mousefur was the one who first mentioned wasting prey. And that’s what made longtail go back #And get crushed by the falling tree. FUCK dude that’s so heavy #Imagine accidentally killing ur life partner because you said out loud you didn’t want to waste food #All this over a shrew? Was it worth it? I miss you. I’m so sorry. #HHHHHHHH #AND they’re both vaguely xenophobic! Made for each other 😔💖 #I can’t remember if longtail gets better or not post. Getting his shit kicked in by baby firestar #About like. OTHER kittypets. But I KNOW Mousefur doesn’t #Is it still asexual awareness week? It is right?? Happy week aces!! I bring you… qpr cats #warriors #warrior cats #mousefur #longtail

Endeavor from BNHA is a prime example of how fandom trying to shield characters from (rightful) hate will only generate more hate toward the said characters.

Because I binge-watched the show before stepping foot in the fandom and even though I began this show hating Endeavor, he was actually starting to grow on me since his plot-line was one of the most interesting parts of the show and at certain points I even thought his “awkward dad” moments were kinda endearing? Then I looked around and saw an army of people who are so damn eager to swiftly forgive Endeavor for everything wrong he has ever done and shield him from any type of criticism, which includes shifting all the blame to his own wife & children and suddenly what little affection I had for this character is gone and now I’m back to hating him again.

Like you do realize that this is a grown middle aged man who has been emotionally and physically abusing his wife (who’s really more of a stay-at-home surrogate) and children for 25 years straight and has only turned a new leaf in-universe for only half a year max? It doesn’t matter how much you like his character, LET PEOPLE GO OFF ON HIM IF THEY WANT TO!!! You trying so hard to victimize him or to victim-blame his family for all his abuse will just make people hate him even more.

#just saw this dumbass dude on Tiktok trying to justify him slapping Rei on ep 17th of the 6th season #by saying he has the right to be mad that she allowed his son to burn himself #I never wanted to to slap someone over fictional characters so bad #first of all Touya's breakdown is 100% that child abuser fault in the first place so what right does he have to be angry at her? #if anything HE should be the one getting slapped #2nd of all how do you know that Rei knew about Touya's burns and didn't do anything about it? #Endeavor said that he was only burning himself in places no one could see under his clothes #3rd of all what about all the times he slapped Rei because she tried to protect 5 year old Shouto from Endeavor's beatings? #you got excuses for that too? #that dude might have been an Endeavor's stan trying to make other ppl like his fav more #but ironically that one minute video turned me from an Endeavor semi-enjoyer to an Endeavor hater #enji todoroki #rei todoroki #touya todoroki

Man.

there's just something about the love between a woman whose impending death is inevitable and a man who's an immortal undead...

#bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #starlach is so beautiful but so fucking tragic #apparently you cannot save karlach as astarion unless you've ascended #you cannot join her in avernus as a spawn :( #bro and it kills me karlach has been unwillingly celibate for 10 years #but that doesn't matter. she loves astarion SO MUCH she just wants to be with him. however she can. #AND THE FUCKING KISSES????? dude she is SOOO gentle with him!!!!!!!! #makes me think of this one short french film. which is obv a bit different from karlach and astarion's romance. #but it's still about valuing the love you have while it's there. because it can be lost so so easily. #basically a husband is cheating on his wife but then his wife falls terminally ill. and so he takes care of her. #and while taking care of her he realises just how much he loves her. he stops seeing the other woman. and stays with his wife to the end. #just the devotion he shows her in her remaining time alive and then the final shot where he's alone and just. dumbstruck with grief.... #I saw this film years ago and it still sits with me. it was so beautiful and tragic. very french! lmao. #just makes me think of starlach in a way though. like the beauty of that limited time karlach and astarion would have together. #and the fucking tragedy that would be karlach dying and astarion...immortal astarion.... being alone again. #ugh MAAAN!!!! starlach and wyllstarion and wyllach are all SUCH good pairs #they offer a veritable buffet of the most wonderful. tender. and tragic romance tropes T____T #I have to give credit where credit is due. thank you larian for two VERY fucking good m/f pairings. #so easy for writers to come up with piss poor m/f romances that have no chemistry but karlach works SOO well with either astarion or wyll. #i wish the fandom wasn't. well as fandoms normally are. you know. 😒 #literally any of these three pairs SHOULD be the most popular imo. #if you disagree- that's your own opinion. I am not here to fight with people. #also one last thing? the youtube poster's icon fucking KILLED me. please look at it.

Hello! We were wondering if you were planning to host the "Let Papyrus Say Fuck Day" again this year. If you are, will it be on June 16 like last year? We are hoping to include it in our monthly events updates. Thank you!

Yep! I'm super excited for it! Really looking forward to it because I've actually managed to draw something this year (I do feel bad about not personally participating in previous years) and I'm hoping to get another thing done for it. And yes it's on June 16th, where it will remain every year that I do this (for clarity's sake, that way no one is stuck thinking it's that day if I were to change it to another). I will be doing this perhaps every year until the end of time (I do not plan to die).

I hope a bunch of people will be able to participate again this year. :>

#answears #letpapyrussayfuck #let papyrus say fuck #undertale #papyrus #swearing #the only stressful part about these events for me is the thought of it not trending because it's something I'm so proud to have made #like I made a mostly not serious post saying we should metaphorically incinerate people who babied Papyrus #by picking a random day and saying we should all post pictures of him saying fuck #and then I woke up On That Day and saw it trending and I was literally stimming and pacing so much from excitement #I want to keep up that energy because I'm so happy to have made something that so many people were excited to participate in you know? #anyways I will ABSOLUTELY continue to celebrate it even if it no longer trends #as long as it makes other people just as happy to see this dude swearing as it does for me #Same with LetSansRest day as well. Like it didn't trend at all but I do think it's still important to remind the fandom about

Civil War (2024) is a mechanically good film but the commitment to not stoking real world political tensions in a movie about the potential consequences of those tensions leaves a gaping hole in its worldbuilding and reduces its impact to just. a series of melodramatic images of “what if the bad war happened here”. completely declawing any potential impact it could have had for the sake of not being controversial

#literally saw an interview where they were talking about the shot where the lincoln memorial was blown up s #with the host saying jokingly that the message was ‘don’t blow up the lincoln memorial’ bd the director LAUGHED #and that just summarizes the whole movie #like yeah it’s a joke but the commitment to not explaining WHY there was a secession movement and WHY everyone was divided meant it really i #is just a toothless ‘don’t make the country at war 🙂 because then all those scary war crimes we see in other countries would happen here. #wouldn’t it be scary if someone bombed the white house :0’ #text✨ #like the moment i heard that the main conceit was texas and california teamed up bc the writer/director didn’t want to make the conflict #‘too real’ i knew it would be lackluster. dude you clearly do not understand the cultural divide there. #AND THE FLAG????? BOTH THOSE STATES ARE TOO OBSESSED WITH THIER OWN FLAGS AND HOSTORY AS FORMERLY INDPENDENT REPUBLICA #THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE A SINGLE FLAG let alone one as boring as that. it shows that the dude is not from here #for this kind of political commentary you need to understand the cultural context and history to our politics not just the recent years of #ooooooo political division scary :( #:/ idk man. the character parts were good but the message is nonexistent bc they didn’t want to do the one thing political movies should do

A thought:

I've heard speculations about, since it didn't look like Anzu and Grandpa Muto were familiar with each other in recent years (Anzu being surprised he's alive, Sugoroku commenting on how much she's grown), that Anzu moved away and only recently-ish returned to the area and reconnected with Yugi.

But. Consider.

Yugi is, honestly, one lonely kid at the start of the series. Anzu is stated to be his only friend, more or less. He gets bullied A Lot, especially in the pre-Cardgamepocalypse era. Plus, y'know, you gotta test into Japanese high schools.

So maybe Yugi originally got into a different school, had the same being bullied issues there, and transferred to Domino High later on in hopes that'd resolve the problem (ahahahahaha.... ha... :c), and then he and Anzu reconnected from there.

If nothing else, this theory would make it look like his parent(s)* actually did something to help the kid and that would ease my heart a little more. :c

(* - Yes, I know Sugoroku did his best to help but he's not the legal guardian here OK)

#yugioh #yugi muto #chibi rambles #* - also seriously tho' where the fuck is yugi's dad #i still think 'working overseas' as word of god is a euphemism #this IS 'shitty dads and fucked-up games: the series' after all #also remember that yugi is smart!!!! dsod had him as fucking valedictorian! #he could have done well on the tests then the bullying caused his grades to tank to where the were in early manga afterward #and didn't gx like say there was footage of buzzsaw murder clown duel #if the bullies saw how fucking hardcore this lil' dude is then maybe the bullying died down (and they found a weaker target because bullies #and his grades went back up #hello i am perfectly normal about my tiny blorbo from my mangashow

'I hate how everything's political now!'

It always was, white man.

#literal take i just saw #dude started out sounding like he recognised his privilege in having rose-tinted glasses about the 60s protest era #and now he's in a time of adversity #he hates it #but then his conclusion isn't awareness of his own privilege in ever thinking activism was fun #it's that we 'have to stop politicisng daily life' #🫠 #like no man #you had the privilege of not perceiving that politics is written into everything #and now it's suddenly thrust upon you #you can't cope #but that's at least in part because you're used to being able to demand and expect that everything be easy for you by default #there were protests in the 90s #all cops were bastards in the 90s #pay was unequal in the 90s #women lacked bodily autonomy in the 90s #lgbtq+ people were persecuted and prevented from learning about themselves in the 90s #talk to anyone 50+ with any kind of marginalisation and ask them what the 90s were like #it's not what you experienced

I am heavily contemplating on buying myself a dvd player soon and buying all the DVDs for a ton of movies and tv shows I grew up watching cuz I miss the magic of dvds

Yknow it hurts all the more with how Peter even kept on encouraging Gwen as he drew his last breath. To let her know that in his eyes she'll always be amazing. Because with Peter gone, no one was gonna be there on her side anymore. She was alone. Against her dad and the whole police force. Even more, against the criticism of the city she tries so hard to protect.

I think Gwen was eventually going to tell Peter that she's Spider-Woman and I think that she would probably take her mask off for him to see her when he was dying if it wasn't her who pushed him. She didn't plan to kill him but it was an accident and he died too quickly for her to gather the courage to show him that it's her, so it came off as if she didn't trust him enough to do it even when he was dying. And he understood why she didn't do it and told her that everything is going to be ok, it was even sadder that he was the one comforting her when he was the one who's going to die. He had the least amount of screen time but I swear this is my favourite version of Peter Parker ever.

#also how aunt may interrupted george when he started trashing spider woman and she winked at gwen cuz she saw #that she and peter were talking nice things about her so she was like dude the kids are happy that's all that matters #i feel so bad for aunt may tho they didn't show her how she's doing #now after all that crap happened #imagine when she learned from george that gwen disappeared for months #i bet she was worrying even more than he did at first #spider man across the spider verse #across the spider verse #gwen stacy #peter parker #ask and answer #spiderverse
