#but in practice everyone is mixed

[canisalbus]

You’ve most likely answered this before but what breed exactly is Machete? I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while I’ve thought maybe a saluki but the ears arnt right.

In theory his breed is fictional Podenco Siciliano, but he's not a purebred example. Out of existing dog breeds he looks closest to (and is related to) Ibizan Hound.

But sometimes I see Silken Windhounds that also kind of remind me of him. They just don't have the characteristic bat ears.

#I usually just default to calling him a sighthound #I feel like that tells you enough about what kind of dog he is without going off on needlessly convoluted breed tangents #answered #anonymous #Machete #Vaschete lore #I don't own any of these photos I'm just showing them as demonstration #specific breeds and breed names aren't a thing in-universe #I don't think they call each other labradors and poodles and schnauzers even if that's what they look like to us #different dog types emerge as result of natural variation and certain characteristics become family traits #but in practice everyone is mixed #I'm just assigning some of them more or less fitting real world breeds for convenience's sake #it's just such a quick and easy way to describe the look of any given dog

thinkin' about Bardaby and his illusion smoke...

#went on yet another bardaby bender. these are only part of it lmao #i am often seized by the fatal need to Draw Barnaby In Some Shape Or Form #but yes. thinking very hard about the illusion smoke #i feel like sometimes he uses it recreationally... mixed with other stuff to dilute it ofc #but it keeps the color! #im imagining that it can act sort of like a Mood Ring! #the core color that he exhales yk yk! #but using it full strength for proper illusions and such #he's gotta be careful about it! it'll fuck him up! #he's built up Quite The Resistance to illusions and illusion magic over his life #but everyone has their limits... #scribble salad #wh fantasy au #IM NOT USED TO DRAWING SMOKE. IT LOOKS BAD LMAO #i'll have to work on that! look up tutorials! Practice! #anyhow i think the other scribbles need their own post #its mainly bardaby and our little warlock... #there are three ways i love drawing barnaby #i love scribbling him angry. i love scribbling him with howdy. and i love scribbling him being soft w/ wally #side note i realized earlier that part of the reason why i love characters who are just so much bigger than everyone else #ex: poppy & barnaby #is bc then its like. they're the smaller guys' personal jungle gym lmao #free bed! free climbing wall! free bean bag! free Getting Tossed Around!!!! #all wrapped up with the wonderful bow of Friend!!!! #...my touch starvedness is showing isnt it. away with ye demons!!!

pspspsps porretta besties from the dark place who refused to bring this song to its end here's a little something for you. 🎙️

#it'll take a while until I finish the extended mix but of course I had to start from this part #you can tell the man have been practicing - Dynamite was amazing and so fun but sounded like he didn't sing for a while #and out of sudden had to film his performance in a rush because it was pretty chaotic back then - or maybe just wasn't for his range #now it's clear that he had time to work on his singing voice and feel more comfortable with the songs #plus it sounds like he had fun recording them - at least I hope so since everyone seemed genuinely happy to be back after 13 years #and istfg I can hear him singing the final chorus as well (liiiiight / niiiight / to the suuurfaaace) but I couldn't find the files #but I didn't find Door and OGOA vocals for it either so it's all probably mixed in a single file which is the one we heard in the cutscene #love him love his voice and I'm happy to have experienced this level (the entire game actually) blind #his performance was spectacular (the drowning video is still in my mind since my first playthrough but hey that's for another post) #anyway #someone give this man a Pixar villain to VO PLEASE #and that fucking bass btw I love it #Matthew Porretta #Old Gods of Asgard #Herald of Darkness #Alan Wake 2 #Remedy Entertainment #🎮 #tinyclowntent #audio

WIP Whenever

Tagged by the ever lovely @greypetrel 💙✨ thank youuu!

These past weeks have not been the most productive ever from a creative point of view - but I'm almost done with the Unnamed Lavellan thingy! I just need to figure out if I like the dark frame or not.

(I've also sketched another portrait because I like that hairstyle with the braid, that's it that's the reason)

I've also started to sketch the other prompt (mythology inspired yasss), so have a spoiler AKA the visuals™

I'm too tired to think of people to tag, but if YOU want to share something - please go ahead and consider yourself tagged by me!

#Is it practical to give everyone fancy jewellery? Nope - but have you considered that I love earrings and necklaces? 🥺 #Also I'm even brainstorming names which is nice considering that I'm not even playing the character😶‍🌫️ #mixed media #art wip #current wip #'current' lol #inquisitor lavellan

Are you black? If not why are you using aave 💀

#me when i dont know how aave has morphed and been co-opted into commonplace internet speak to the point of seeping into everyone's #linguistic habits and being practically unavoidable unless you make a conscious effort: #(not saying this happening was a good thing in fact i very much think it was not. but it is still a fact and something that happened) #and as someone who's a proficient second language english speaker i am intimately aware of this while still sometimes not being able to tel #which parts of my personal online-speak are ''standard english'' and which parts are vernaculars (aave included among others) #ultimately as long as you recognize that there are many mixed influences to internet speech (chief among which is aave) and you keep it #respectful towards day-to-day aave speakers you are no more racist than if you didn't. the damage has already been dealt and is systematic #and dare i say inextricable. the most important factor is ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and respect for the language and its speakers #also. and i say this carefully because it is tangential to my point. most languages and vernaculars are made to be learned. #anyways go follow sunn m'cheaux and khadija mbowe! mr m'cheaux especially makes AMAZING black linguistics content.

ok I know I'm already in the process of writing an extremely long video game retelling/au where the protag is a nonhuman who gets suddenly and unwillingly put in a situation where they have to pass as A Normal Guy by the threat of harm/death while also being put into a role where they're the Only One capable of saving the world. but what if I started a DIFFERENT one too

#howling #specifically I've been tossing around this bg3 scenario #where the dark urge and some random druid (specifically a circle of spores druid) are on the nautaloid when it gets attacked #the druid dies badly and the symbiotic entity they're carrying gets kicked out of their host #and so it attaches itself to the nearest living thing as like a self-preservation measure #which happens to be a VERY lobotomized dark urge #as in 'practically brain dead' #and so the entity is now stuck in a new body they have to figure out how to pilot COMPLETELY ALONE #other than the extremely unhelpful passenger already in this fucker's brain (the tadpole) #and still has the dark urge instincts and. well. urges. but they have even LESS access to memories than normal durge has #so it now has to both convince their friends AND their enemies that yes they definitely are a humanoid guy with a past #and not a cloud of sentient fungus puppeting a sort-of corpse #idk I just really love the idea of everyone being like 'wow it's so fucked up that we have parasites in our brains threatening to take over #and this guy is just like. oh hahah yeah (<- is a parasite who took over a guys brain) #anyways. id still be writing history offers preservation but id just ALSO be doing this too #like. idk maybe it'll help my writers block if I can mix shit up a bit #use scrapped ideas for one that might work better for the other y'know #this also isn't like. a guaranteed thing btw. I've just been rotating this concept in my brain for a bit now

listen to my tuning attempts boy (svp by ryu)

#vocal synth wip #synthv #asterian #i always struggle with volume mixing but i think this is the best ive got for now orz #hopefully i will get better with practice #and lemme tell you this lite version is incredibily generous like i have played with some WACK sounding lite voicebanks in my time #but he already sounds fantastic for the lite limitations #and man you know i think asterian is far more versatile than people give him credit for. #i know everyone knows his range goes down to e2 but people seem scared to figure out how to use him it seems? #not enough covers out there with him i think. but if anything i found him easier to work with than other lite voicebanks LOL #and really the whole eclipsed sounds roster. the celestial polycule. are all absolutely absurdly versatile voicebanks #like everyone knows solaria and we all love asterian BUT the new one saros #they also sound fantastic through the demos weve heard which is exciting #i cant wait to see even more covers. i hope someone who has all three will make the celestial polycule all sing together #i want to hear that duet. three-et? trio.....

Maybe I should join a martial arts class.

#I keep directing my anger towards the wrong people. #And I can't direct it at myself. Not anymore. #It'd only hurt everyone else. #And supposedly martial arts are good for anger management. #Since they teach discipline alongside self defence. #And I can't exactly keep calling up Lila to fist fight me in the Denny's parking lot. #She has a kid now. And Diego wouldn't be happy if I beat up his girlfriend. #...Just gotta decide WHICH martial art to practice. #Karate? Kung Fu? Taekwondo? #I could just go with mixed. Like we learned as kids. #That'd probably work. #IC #Five Vents (in the tags)

I think i was gonna quit my job anyway regardless of the issue with my pay. That job sucked the life out of me i hated it so much.

#i had to practically run the plave bc the managers and owner were never there #i was always working by myself a job meant for at least three people #and they expect me to do so much shit while closing #and it was scary bc i was the only one in the building bc everyone in the back went home to avoid having to help #and i had to keep the back door unlocked even though i was by myself #and if i missed one little thing during closing i got yelled at #and then i had to serve people while mixing drinks and taking calls at the same time #and i got reported whenever i didnt make it to the phone on time #fuck that place i hope those people rot lmao #and i worked so hard there and now theyre refusing to pay me my final check and accusing me of stuff i didnt do

GOAL: at LEAST 500 words of tubassador au first chapter. if i post that its my goal i have to do it that’s how this works.

#i have no idea how long chapters are supposed to be so we will just feel it out #2000 ish feels right. but who knows! im going to get the fanfic equivalent of hermitcraft fan hubris i think #less important but i want to write it down: #my goals for this fic are not for it to be good i just wanna have fun with it #which is not to say that i won't put any thought in #but i just want to do my best and have fun #i've never written a fic longer than 3k in my entire life #(excluding a self insert fic written age 12 which cant count bc 12 year olds are built different) #so the goal is humbly for it to exist and to have fun with it #if it's readable that's a bonus lol #i'm a bit of a perfectionist so if i set out to have everyone in character and have good pacing and an elaborate plot #i will simply shut down because i straight up don't have the practice for that #but oh boy is this gonna give the a good excuse to watch a lot of hermitcraft and old lore streams #im so excited. ive already had so much fun watching false #haven't watched much of her before so it's fun to mix it up #tag rant over lets go boys

I am not the other anon that said that you should say that you don't like proshippers but I just want to say thank you for being kind to that person

Life is too hectic to be rude to anyone for no reason.

#That is going to be my way of saying ‘of course..’ #I am very aware that throughout history the term and understanding of it is so mixed up. #And that people have different reasons for using the word/s. #Or even what it could mean (we have seen several and I do not think people will ever be able to pin down one true meaning at this point tbh) #What matters is knowing our stance- and it is up to you whether or not you feel safe with that- or what you want to do with that information #In the end- remembering that even online- everyone are people with feelings is good practice. #Take care. #Ask #Anon

I put this documentary on in the background when I was packing for a move, and the following commentary really made me roll my eyes a bit and laugh lol:

Ben Jones: I honestly don't believe the other members of the band, sort of having met quite a few of them over the years, sought controversy. I mean, Brian May - I can't see Brian May as [a] quite controversial character. And I wonder, really - when they were attending album launches with naked girls and food covered all over them, and dwarf lift attendance and stuff - really, what the other three members thought: "What the hell was going on?" I mean, it's quite bizarre. I think this was probably all orchestrated by Freddie, who had a wicked sense of humour.

Paul Gambaccini: Freddie was really breaking loose sexually, and the rest of the group usually deferred to him on these matters.

Ben Jones: I'm just trying to sort of, imagine, sort of Brian really turning up at one of these album launches, and started going "Oh god. Not again. Freddie did it again".

Paul Gambaccini: Brian May, personally, is never going to be known as a sexual renegade. He looks too much like a serious musician to be taken seriously as a sex freak. John Deacon is too quiet to be known as a sex freak. And Roger Taylor, although he appreciated beautiful women was not scandalous. Therefore, I think they thought "let's use something to counter our squareness".

As other people have pointed out in the comments, some of the commentary consists of the people interviewed framing and construing Queen songs and lyrics to fit a certain narrative and leaving out important context. Both TSMGO and TATDOOL were implied to be autobiographical songs written by Freddie entirely about his life at the time, and the facts that Brian wrote TSMGO and Roger wrote TATDOOL about his children are completely omitted. Then there's blatant misinformation like how Radio Ga Ga was "inspired by Roger's daughter".

But it's really the bit quoted above that did it for me. Like, really? Since when has the band ever been known to be "square", or appalled by the outrageous, decadent parties? Why was Roger "not scandalous", compared to Freddie, although he "appreciated beautiful women"? I also highly doubt Brian was fainting at the sight of groupies and drag queens, when he said he loves New Orleans and that the parties were put on for all their enjoyment.

#the typical characterisations: #freddie the homosexual decadent sex freak who had crazy sex with anything that breathed and practically invented sex as a concept #brian the serious academic who just keeps his head down playing serious guitar yknow bc hes smart and serious #john the quiet family man who just hid in the corner in parties judging everyone else bc he's Dad and Dad and sex don't mix #roger the charming ladies' man but he's classy and not outrageous he just likes women thats normal bc what man doesn't? oh we know who- #Youtube #documentary #queen band #four aging queens #freddie #ramblings
