Growing up w no Instagram does SOMETHING to a bitch like I really get taken aback by how second nature it is for people to whip out their phones and take pictures of the most mundane things. Not because I judge them for it but bc apart from selfies, pictures w friends, and obligatory pictures on trips I literally forget to take pictures of my life period

#I’m not the kind of girl who’ll be studying at a cafe and thinks to snap a picture of my cute latte art #I’m never somewhere and go Ohhh this would be a good angle…. Like I just don’t do that #At first the way I rationalized it is I don’t wanna stress myself out taking aesthetic pictures but now I’m like #Compared to other people I don’t rly have proof of cute little tender moments #And one day I’ll be old and decrepit and I won’t have many of these diminutive memories still #So I rly wanna change that by being more intentional ab taking photos #And maybe sharing some of them SPARINGLY bc I want it to mostly be for me #But just making it more of a priority to capture little things I’ll look back on when I’m older #I think taking more pictures is part of my 2024 resolution anyway I just haven’t implemented it thus far

I feel it's common for people to feel they're bothering/embarrassing creators by interacting with their older works? So I thought it'd be interesting to see where other creatives (artists, fic writers, edit makers, anything goes) stand on the matter! Feel free to elaborate on your thoughts or give examples :)

(The timeframe of what counts as an old work is up to you. Could be one year, 10 years, anything depending on for how long you've been posting your works online)

#toma talks #toma polls #art stuff #i love it personally :) its nice #can be slightly embarrassing if im not super proud of it gjfh but it's fun to see my older stuff being enjoyed on occasion #i Hope i covered enough ground with the options #mostly curious bc even though i enjoy it as an artist when i'm the one looking at ppl's works i get a little nervous about #interacting with older stuff at times if the op's still around and posting other stuff/for a completely different fandom and whatnot #which may be silly but does make me wonder

I have such a hoard of tiny badly transparent images of myself saved on my computer at this point. take them.

#my face #mostly in chronological order #I hate taking thumbnail faces it's so hard. I just cut myself out of other photos sometimes older ones #but my hair ought to match ish.....

the owl house was really like oh yeah by the way a significant number of children avoided being collected solely because they were hiding out inside this one high school and all the adults in the building and a few of their classmates and friends were turned to puppets right before their eyes and taken away and they've just been alone here ever since. yeah it's been months since they've seen their families. it's unclear whether or not they're aware that the collector's been using their loved ones as toys in reenactments of the adventures of a lost friend of theirs. there are kindergarteners trapped in there. they spent a significant amount of time and effort on a meticulous, perfectly constructed stone statue honoring their collected principal who was one of the only people protecting them when the collector's spies came and it's dorky and unprofessional but they're so genuinely grateful for what he did and they never got to thank him themselves. their "leader" is the former captain of the grudgby team who's deeply traumatized and terrified 100% of the time and only took the job cause she wanted some sense of control over a nightmare situation. an adult in disguise has been manipulating her to do what she's told this entire time. their food is rotten and moldy and they were so scared of being found they put a sign up outside that said "no non-puppets inside". yeah. it's funny though. it's just a silly joke. look at luz's new palisman!

#the owl house #toh spoilers #this isn't a criticism of new hexside's portrayal or anything #i don't think it's tonally bad or whatever to play this mostly for a joke it's a great segment #i just. god. i have a lot of thoughts about the new hexside kids. they're KIDS okay they're kids #and they think they're responsible for rebuilding society. they can't leave their makeshift home #without risking being collected or killed. hell they can't WALK AROUND INSIDE without risking harm. #i think about that kindergartener pretending to kill an enemy to 'save their father' and i just. sigghhhh. #the littler kids probably have even less of an idea what's going on than the older ones. god. do they even know where their parents are??? #like. god. do you understand?? do you see my agitation?? ed fell into an empty well while running for his life #away from the spies #after trying to find and rescue amity and alador no less! #and he spent the next few months in a full body cast!! you don't walk away from that unscathed! he's a kid!!!

cleaned up azem ref! this time with their travelling robes

modifications and alternate outfits

half robe is.. because I like the sleeveless turtleneck ok 😂😂😂 that’s all

himation style is based off of the ancient greek himation! comfortable and easy to move around in, protective for hot dusty weather

once again the summary under the readmore is so i don't need to dig out all the other links every time i look for my own refs lol

traveling gear breakdown: 1 (notes) and 2 (coloured) + weapon

sophist robes reference and what's underneath

face reference

hair reference

himation style works kind of like this (wao) - examples!!!

pull the fabric over your head to make a cowl or to keep your other shoulder warm if it gets windy

#cosmodynes art #sketch #ffxiv #ff14 #ffxiv oc #azem #named azem #azem (asterios) #character reference #character sheet #the older sheet was driving me nuts #cuz it was so scribbly #so i decided to clean it up lol #i guess its easier to reference now? #aka now i will get infinitely more comms lol #im not gonna ask anyone to draw the himation tho #that ones mostly for my imagination #ebi azem and mochi azem have joined

I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it

So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.

Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role

Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong

Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself

Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong

Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder

...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).

I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.

#uhhh what am I calling this?? #randomizedrobinsau #stephanie brown #oh my god I am so excited to figure out how tf to write this. #because she's my favorite of these characters and having HER be the first sidekick + the one who has a mentor/older sister relationship #with the others?? kickass. though I'll probably keep her and Tim's relationship as 'dating-then-exes' because I think it's funny #and then SHE can be the Robin who Tim got fixated on + figured out her identity?? holy fuck and then the angst of Tim later dying #Tim Drake #tbh I kinda wish he'd gotten a different position because 'sidekick who dies' Tim has kinda been done a lot with the standard #reverse robin aus. But it'll still be fun to write. Definitely going the Joker Junior route with this because Batman Beyond kicks ass #Dick Grayson #He'll honestly probably be the easiest. Like...his role has not changed much outside of being younger/not the one who defines this #But I still think it'll be good to see how well I know Dick beyond his eldest brother thing (which is my best way of relating to him) #Damian al ghul #damian wayne #oh this is gonna kick ass #Bruce does not want his son to be a sidekick but Damian just kinda forces his way into that role #and everybody doubts him because of his history with the league but he later proves himself more than capable #to the point that he can set out mostly on his own and still thrive #Jason Todd #Jason being the baby of the family is also something I have never thought about but holy shit it could kick ass #I really hope that I don't roll 'Jason must die' or 'Robin 5 must die' on the randomizer. I just kinda want Jason to live this time #But unfortunately I double-screwed him because he's on the 'must happen' wheel twice now. I did not think these prompts through #TBH I am so happy that none of them rolled their OG roles. because that would have been so fucking boring

Ah, if there are slots open still for requestober, and if you'd like to draw this one-- human RGB, and Hero's reaction to meeting him, please? Apologies if I misunderstood any of the rules and this isn't in line with them...

Day 22 - Nuh-uh! That's not a TV!

#My art #Requestober #The Property of Hate #TPoH #Hero #RGB #You're all good anon! :D #As a quick reminder/rundown - slots are open either until they're filled with requests or the day passes without a request #So there's a limited number of slots just through the passage of time >:3c #And I almost called this one on a technicality since I've drawn RGeeBs bunches but didn't remember drawing his human form - #But then I went and looked and no yeah I totally did once lol silly me! It's been a bit but that counts! :D #I actually haven't been caught up in a while so excuse if their designs look on the older side lol #I mostly went based on the one from last year - I'll catch up again after a while :) #They are both still quite fun to draw haha ♪ Hero's got such a cute and sweet design even with all the replacements! #And while I love RGB's TV head he's quite handsome as a human - and his proportions are still the same! #Funnest legs to draw in the West (lol) #Forced to be a bit on the vulnerable side! Crouching down for her to inspect and hunched on in himself hehe #Be subjected to scrutiny! Turned this way and that! Gotta get used to your sounds coming out of this ''new'' face hehe #Cute lads <3

More powerpuff girls art!! I actually drew all of these probably at least a month ago? But I just kept getting sidetracked and never got around to finishing em up and posting em. Here they are now tho!

#powerpuff girls #the powerpuff girls #ppg #powerpunk girls #cuz berserk is in one of these #ppg berserk #ppg blossom #ppg buttercup #ppg bubbles #doodles #drew all of these mostly just to practice drawing the girls! and I think they all turned out p nice! #drew blossom and buttercup arguing here. I actually kinda think my buttercups mellowed out a lot w age? #but.. blossom is still. an expert at getting into arguments ghgh #u kno the big sis personality type in animal crossing? my ver of buttercup is basically that #just like. cool relaxed older sibling vibes.. reliable #shes help either of her sisters bury a body no questions asked. the body probably deserved it! #was probably being an asshole to them. like! she’s just got their backs 100% of the time #(bubbles and blossom would probably also help either of there sisters bury a body. but w blossom there would DEF be questions. #straight up interrogations. and she’s put up a fuss about it. but she’d still do it! #and bubbles would do it less in like a ‘im shouldering this burden w u yeah’ kinda way #and more in like a ‘hell yeah lol let’s bury a body!!!’ kinda way ghgh-) #ps. following buttercup being older sister-core. I think blossom would be more like the middle child. and bubbles like the youngest! #…not in terms of actual age. cuz they were all made at the same time #but in terms of energies.. vibes… family dynamics.. u get what im saying ghgh- #but anyway!!! yeah! pls enjoy powerpuff girls art.. now that I’ve posted it I can finally keep playing totk ghgh-

My one contribution to this year's Linktober. I am the NPC fan after all. So here he is, Ledo, the craftsman of the Zora. Also you might be surprised by it /not/ being Bazz. Well, first, Bazz is main cast in my canon, so he obviously doesn't count. And second, idk, i just thought it would be fun to see another fishman for once. And Ledo just has the most npc energy.

#zora #ledo #linktober #loz #totk #botw #he actually has a place in my zora canon albeit not a big one #he's very unproblematic #mostly just tries to vibe and enjoy his art #is actually older than he looks #also one of the more mentally stable and reasonable zoras

[beyondourstars]

it occurred to me that I've never drawn KH4 Sora

#took majority of last year off art to do some healing (both physically and mentally) #hence *gestures vaguely* all the older art you've been seeing these days #so technically this is one of my first drawings this year #kinda proud of myself haha #thank you for all the support you've given me here <3 #i know my art's not really super detailed and they're mostly just tiny lil stuff here and there #but i really appreciate every single interaction i've gotten from everyone #♡♡♡ #beyondourstars

husk in any image with valentino is going for his throat i imagine. pan on pan violence. (sort of imagining husk as a spitting kitty cat now, with valentino holding onto a chandelier or smthin near a ceiling for dear life)

charlie, cherri, sir pentious, vox -- well the two in the middle are making out, while charlie and vox stand to either side not quite sure where to look, because they also can't really look to each other for solidarity. alt. charlie is cheering cherri/sir pentious on, vox isn't sure how he ended up on this picture and why alastor isn't there :(

see at first id think alastor, vaggie, and angel would be pretty chill in the same picture, seeing as angel has been learning Boundaries, but i forgot that vaggie -- while chill with alastor in the battle + final bit -- potentially does not trust this guy in the slightest, considering he's made a deal with her gf. so like. nominally chill picture. for now. rosie is also there

is lucifer the token straight in this setup? (i wrote that and then remembered adam, but tbh loser bisexual adam hcs have compelled me) (and then the host of people who are ??? in my head atm. velvette, carmilla, lute, zestial, niffty -- oh NIFFTY does strike me as potentially straight in a "housewife from a terrible marriage" sort of way) (lol accidentally wrote my way into a "what about the straights" corner somehow, love a show where everyone is queer until proven otherwise and even then...)

(reference to this)

LMAOOOO this is all very real. "vox isn't sure how he ended up on this picture and why alastor isn't there :(" I'M CRYING??!?????

velvette is definitely some form of queer to me, wlw or aro are all acceptable to me. carmilla, zestial, niffty idk. for lute I do actually kinda like her with adam so she's at least a manliker to me but also like the idea of her having had something with vaggie in the past, so bi/pan to me

honestly I'm fine with bi lucifer or token straight lucifer both work for me but I was speaking in terms of canon sexualities in my post (because if it wasn't just canon there would probably be more bisexuals LMAO. and rosie would be with alastor in the aroace section)

btw regarding the lucifer thing, they've taken it out now but at some point he was listed as straight on the wiki and I got JUMPSCARED bad

I think the idea of it is very funny though. yes the one who oversees the PRIDE ring. straight. also him being token straight of the hotel (unless you count niffty???) where like everyone else is queer in some way and he's wondering why he gets left out and charlie just has to awkwardly go over and say "ummm... dad. you're uh. straight!" "well. do I get a flag?" "errrrm. yes, dad! the um. straight.... ally flag." "wow! is that what the a in lgbtqia+ stands for?" "no. no dad. that's alastor." "the a in lgbtqia+ stands for alastor??????" "DAD. NO."

(this is of course all for the fun and giggles I am still fully in support of bi lucifer I just think token straight lucifer is also funny)

Overheard someone saying T*re Liy* is the best author in my country and subsequently took psychic damage

#okay so im def not judging anyone who likes his writing #i liked his older writing! #i like his current writing worse bcs i think the guy is starting to burn out BUT that is strictly my personal opinion #to say that he is the best in this area tho??? deadass????? NO #his writing style is stiff and more tell than show. actually. it's mostly tell than show #his dialogue is .... well ... this one is a matter of taste but god his characters cannot just say things normally cant they #his romances dont feel like romance too lets be real for a sec here #like okay if you will be adamant about it alright fine. but maybe try other authors like dee lestari or ziggy z first #sure theyre both flawed too but at least i dont feel like im being seen as third grader when i read their things #luca rambles #random thoughts #vent post

New haircut! I really like this design for him but im not sure ill keep it, probably not, but its nice for doodles

#my art #hermitcraft fanart #hermitcraft #mumbo jumbo fanart #mumbo jumbo #mumbo #mumbo fanart #pencil sketch #pen sketch #? #partially #I like making multiple designs for characters so I can take certain aspects of each design and mash them into one #for example I think ill keep the silly lines under this Mumbos eyes and add them to my usual design of him #I have a LOT of designs for Scar Grian and Mumbo its just that I dont really share them bc theyre not too noteworthy #ive been wanting to add a nose to Grian that ive had on an older design of him #and with Scar ive been wanting to add his lashes again that ive had for his first design #its Grians hair that im struggling with mostly at the moment #in my brain its very flat and that works for when I draw him as just some guy but ive been trying out designs for cuteguy lately and the- #-flat hair simply isnt doing him justice #I dont think hed have curly hair so I tried to make it slightly wavy but that looked wrong on him as well #i hope ill come up with something soon though #also i tried doing the thingy where you put your art utensils beside the art cuz i rlly like it when artists do that but idk if it works- #-for me? i think ill just stick with taking pictures of the art without the utensils idk
