#but not tHAT young yanno

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

irida's very early line about how glaceon is "as close to me as a sister—as one of my blood!" really hits different with the context of her and palina tbh. even more so if you subscribe to the idea that she and coin were also formerly very close, or know the later npc dialogue about how irida "never really had playmates growing up." like damn. yeah ok. and it's really the only one you have left

#the nemesis speaks #pla analysis #and even more so if you believe any of the myriad theories or hcs as to her family/parents #and why exactly she's leading on her own so young #yanno?

They're outright adorable with each other when theyre being nice

#rn its 50/50 on if theyre besties or if theyre fighting and chasing each other #bc julez is new yanno #neither of them are being properly mean either? nothing nasty nasty happens its just #posturing and testing each other yanno? #theres a playful element there too when they chase each other #which makes sense theyre both pretty young. its probably nice for them to be able to play with another horse the same size / age #roughly #horseblr #horsblr #horses #horse #paint horse #quarter horse

is there any particular reason as to why your gen 2 iterators have more human-like anatomy? or do you just like how it looks? i kept looking at euros and finding quite odd how he has human feet even though humans (supposedly) don't actually exist in the rw universe

while i was designing them all i was thinking about was "wouldn't it be funny if ancients got Really close to inventing the human shape in a world where that shape has no root, but then were like 'mm.. nah! this shape Sucks let's try something Else' and pushed all that We are off the table in favor of the fucked up lookin Gen 3 designs? ...yeah. yeah it would. irl humans aren't aware enough that we are in the same bag as horses when it comes to shit evolution lol, lessa goooo"

BUT! i will admit to u right here and right now without any issue- when it comes to Gen 2 feet, the very very human like shape that i've been using lately wasn't originally in the plan! those peets were meant to look more like shoes. if u look at the big OC post u can still see that as well! (Fish even still has very shoe-like feet. he didn't change cuz he's an old fuck for a Gen 2)

the design came closer to the look of our bare feet while i was poking at Suns' design in their prime. since i wanted only to put down some ideas for their outfit + maybe look into the feelings their vibes and appearance should evoke, i went with a different style than i usually go with while drawing itties to reach for a more... ethereal and flowy, maybe? feel to it n that included the feet being drawn Like That

i'll give in, here's one of my more successful attempts at 'em in their prime (not the completely finalized design tho)

i REALLY liked it n because of my Happye i decided to draw other Gen 2s with that as well. so yes. it's cuz my eyeball thinks it's nice 👁

(but also like,, those toes r not separate, that shit is more like neat lil painted lines for the sake of the imagery JSNFJNKS)

#Spot says stuff #rw #thanks for asking!!! i love talking about my designs like this 💜!!!!! makin lil references n stories to explain them is my Jam #and then blowin raspberry into the crook of my elbow because the vibes are really nice. the Two ✌ philosophies of char designing #there's... smth about bare feet when it comes to iterators. and there was smth very distinct in giving that to some Gen 2s like- #-specifically Suns and Euros. i want u to imagine bare feet in the context of ''i dont have the money to buy- #-shoes for myself.'' or ''young kids who knows how many centuries ago chasing after each other barefooted in fields''. its about the...- #-the (often forced) humbleness. the simplicity. about being so so terrifying small. about the easiness of walking thru ur house in summer #the VIBES of that shit my GODS yanno????

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Kinda rambly but im getting tired of tragic fathers who lost a young daughter. It’s almost always a young daughter; someone who represents innocence and the father’s capacity to love, and is at an age were the kid sees the dad as everything.

Nothing against the trope itself, but how about a story in which the kid HAS a character beyond being the dad’s tragic figure. Gimme a story about a teen who reached an age that made them realize that the way they see the world and the way their dad sees the world is different. Gimme a story in which the dad and kid get into arguments about their views and ideas. Gimme a story in which, even after all of that, the dad still mourns the kid the same way he does in the clichè because when all is said and done that is still HIS kid and maybe he shouldnt have wasted so much time arguing, and maybe they should’ve learned to communicate despite having different worldviews, and maybe he shouldve been more aware of how much he loves them while they were alive, and maybe it shouldn’t have taken literal death for him to realize that he shouldnt have been so stubborn, that he should’ve accepted that his kid is a person individually from him

I dunno, just not make the dead kid an idea rather than a layered character

#my deck of cards #writing #there’s also smth to be said about young GIRLS being a symbol of innocence #and yknow…female characters being nothing but motivation or decoration to male characters #i wrote this because of #miguel o’hara #in the spiderverse movie #but i think it’s been bothering me for longer #also #the last of us #but that just opens the can of worms that is ‘father figure loses innocent daughter and becomes gruff but another young girl will soften #his heart’ and yada yada yada #or maybe the male character is not a dad but he is a loner #and the young girl develops him #im not trying to mesh tlou with Miguel’s story bc it’s really good about developing both characters and i think it’s the tripe at its BEST #but it’s still a trope that deserves analyzing yanno?

honestly i think lauriam —> marluxia is the one nobodyfication i have the hardest time comprehending. like knowing that they’re the same guy just does not click in my brain. like i can look at lauriam and think ‘yeah that’s the guy who becomes marluxia huh’ but it’s so hard to look at marluxia and think ‘man that used to be LAURIAM’. like part of me thinks lauriam just stopped existing outright and maybe part of me almost wishes it was that simple. but no it hurts a lot to remember that that’s what happened to him instead it makes me crazy

#inb4 any nerd comes in here to say ‘well AKSHUALLY you shouldn’t consider a somebody and their nobody the same person/nomura said-‘ SHUSH. #you know what i mean you know it. i understand how it works in the lore it’s just semantics #lauriam #marluxia #khux #i mean i honestly think ienzo—> zexion —-> ienzo again is the most dramatic overall change in personality #but like. i can still comprehend them as being all part of the same person’s life. i can’t do that w/ lauriam #kingdom hearts #mine: kh #or maybe it’s bc we all woobify lauriam too much lol #the prettyboy outfit + the grief over the loss of a dear sister #but if you can look past that then the guy is kinda crazy. full of wrath. tunnel vision. violence. yanno #even so it’s just not the same as marluxia’s sadism #or maybe it’s bc of artstyle differences that lauriam looks so young and innocent compared to marluxia #but i mean we see a sprite for marly in ux and his entire facial structure is different and his hair is longer and stringier #they just do not look like the same guy at all #maybe once we see khux in 3D (please) we’ll be able to comprehend it more

[cherrysnax]

it makes me really happy how much art of black characters I see nowadays, I remember back when the like. on tumblr at least the black character w the most fanart was like Finn from Star Wars, and more than half of it just didn’t look like him at all

#the bar is in hell!!!!! #but you know #nb ppl still get angry when black ppl make tutorials for drawing us #that they begged for 😭 #or uh vegalias black hair brushes get hit with so much backlash and hate even tho peoples main excuse is that black hair is too hard #but when I was on like tiktok I saw young artists draw people of all races and shapes and shit like it was second nature and it really shows #that things have changed at least a bit :) #and ofc we was drawing us but yanno #that’s to be expected #and like I know a lot of other black artists struggled with that too due to the lack of resources

funny how simple the line ‘do you remember what Buzz Aldrin said when he stepped on the moon?’ is compared to how much it fucks. the bitterness, the immensity. the ego... 

#the answer: nobody does. because armstrong went first. #enterprise literally best show ever hands down #trek #captain's log #im in a fucking weird headspace #archer my archer.. #fucking INSANE line. especially in retrospect like robinson got himself killed and archer's goofy ass founded the federation #the ideas abt legacy and his preoccupation as a young man w his father's engine .. #its just so UHM #like. in first flight he's fighting on his dad's behalf and trying to fit his life into his dad's #thinking the most he'll be able to contribute is taking the step his father had leaned toward #and in the end. warp two is... one small step. #yanno #small potatoes. #lmfao #when he finally IS able to pull his head out of his ass he realizes what he's capable of doing on his own + that becomes so much more #impressive than what he aspired to as a young man and what he thought was important #and despite the monuments and the schools named after him and the museums built with his name on the side... what he leaves behind is so... #pardon the pun. nebulous. #everything traces back to him. and the work he did. #the reflection is really the kicker--the appraisal of his life after it's been lived #once youre able to divorce his shitty fucking personality from his accomplishments #knowing that all his bigotry and intransigence dies with him #what you're left with is the best parts of him #the times he was accepting and generous and kind. when he extended a hand out to all those he encountered hoping for friendship #GOD #archer. talk about the fucking duality of man #hes the worst but how can you not love him #LOVE him #like. ardently. admirably. with affection beyond words

An elderly lady complimented my hair today and asked me how I “got it like that,” and she was so 🥺… (so cute… )

#another elderly lady jumped in front of me at the cvs because I wasn’t paying attention and I ranted a little I’m pretty sure to heard me #but I don’t like to be rude or mean to old folks so it was okay it wasn’t even that serious #I was scrolling and wasn’t paying attention anyway but she knew I was in line like girl #you always see videos going viral of old ppl being rude as hell and talking to folks like they’re crazy but there are a lot of ppl out here #who don’t give a damn about how old someone is they’ll still try to pick fights with them and throw hands #I feel like respect should always go both ways and that old people need to learn their manners as well as young folks #but especially old ass ppl because how have you made it to such an age and you’re still this awful? #at least younger folks have plenty of time to become a better person #it’s never too late for anyway but I’m just talking about in general here #well yanno #rambling

Hey! I wrote this little thing for yr week birthday prompt 🫶

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Young Royals (TV 2021) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Erik & Wilhelm (Young Royals), Simon Eriksson/Wilhelm Characters: Erik (Young Royals), Wilhelm (Young Royals), Kristina (Young Royals), Jan-Olof (Young Royals), Simon Eriksson Additional Tags: Brothers, Eriks Birthday, Wille remembers his brother, One Shot, YR week 2023, Aged up characters, soft, a little melancholy, full of love, simon is there too, at the end, cherry blossoms as a metaphor, Canon Compliant, ? maybe, idk when eriks actual birthday is

Summary: The cherry blossoms that bloom on Erik’s birthday mark the beginning of spring; the rebirth of nature as the remnants of winter slowly begins to melt at the edges. They are the first sign that the days are becoming warmer, brighter, and more colorful. But their arrival holds a sense of melancholy as well, their lives transient and short, burning bright for only a fleeting moment. It’s a painful sort of evanescence precisely because of the symbolism they carry— the duality of both the fragility and beauty of life. __ The cherry blossom trees in Kungsträdgården bloom every year on Erik’s birthday. (Written for YR Week 2023 - Prompt: Birthday)

ugh

#never thought id make an all tags vent post but im going thru it i guess #i haven't been a big fan of mcr in years but my whole online presence on tumblr is based around it #and almost all my beloved mutuals are mcr mutuals #i want to actually centre my dash/blog around things i actually like again but i dont want to cut off mutuals! they're important to me #and i DO still like mcr. but if i had made this blog this year instead of 5 years ago i would be following 2 mcr blogs and not like. 10 #yanno? #i wanna focus more on vulture culture and nature and writing and stuff like that but i dont want to make a new blog either. ugh!!! #idk maybe i just need to use tumblr less #i still listen to mcr every once and a while and im finishing a dd fic i started a couple years ago but thr fandom is just. so exhausting #and i hate that all my mcr posts get way more notes than my non-mcr posts #I don't want to make mcr fanart again for a multitude of reasons but i feel like people still follow me for that #and are disappointed when i post things im more interested in #and i hate that as soon as i step outside my bubble of mcr blogs its immediately just. people saying the most insane obsessive shit. #and maybe its just #because i dont like them that much anymore #but that shit freaks me out !! i dont like it here! maybe im just a hater but maybe try listening to a different band for a little while #go for a walk or something #i think maybe i just hate fandom #if it wasn't for the fact that i got into it super young i probably never would have joined the mcr fandom #which would still be a bummer because ive grown a lot as an artist and met some great people through bandom #but im beginning to find that im not really a Fandom Person. #i dont really feel the need to go online after finishing a really good movie/show/book and start posting about it and making up headcanons #i mean i want to write arcane fanfic at some point but thats about it #idk #this was all a long and incoherent ramble #maybe i should just make a new blog. but im really attached to this one #anyway pls like if you read i feel embaressed for spewing all this into the tags #a.txt

Juno Duskrym || Half-Elf Warlock/Rogue

A boogeyman in the criminal underworld, the Revenant is an enforcer in a syndicate that exists to serve an ancient power. The distinctive bird’s skull mask and dark robes strike fear, and whispers abound surrounding the potential origins and identity of such a dark creature.

Behind the mask is Juno, an orphan with drow heritage and nowhere to go. Heavily traumatized and trapped in a pact he doesn’t fully understand, he views himself as an extension of his patron’s will rather than a person. Even the sharpest tools dull without proper maintenance, though, and Juno has not been careful with himself for a long time.

#dnd moodboard #dnd character #moodboard #rogue #warlock #juno duskrym #my sweet angry traumatized boy!! #he is Struggling and i care him #my guy just really needs a break tbh. a nap if he can swing one. the chance to fucking chill out a little bit :'' #also it's very funny to me that losing an arm & adjusting to a prosthetic is probably the least traumatizing thing to happen to him :'''' #like he dealt with that emotionally and has since moved on #but everything else in his life?? incredibly traumatizing and he is barely coping!!! #he's just an angry traumatized kid (i mean. young adult but yanno) and i love him

Therapy is looking back on OCs you had as a 13 year old and redesigning them to see how far you've come with your art.

#Im planning on making a comic and i always used to draw this one character when i was young. wanna bring him back for this #i still have a really old drawing of one character i drew when i was about 13/14 on my wall #sad story short i didnt have many friends so i used to sit in my room talking to it haha im such a fucking loser #kept it up out of sentiment i suppose #the comic in a base sense is a cryptid hunter accidentally finding an alternate world where humans are the cryptids #the main cast are originally seen as the villains until the perspective is flipped and the cryptid hunter is the villain #he's then trying to take them all down and get home so he can show the world the evidence #the main cast also try to get him home because hes kinda an asshole and also yanno hes trying to catch them yadda yadda #which leads to them getting stuck in the normal world with no way to get back #so its a lighthearted kinda story of them trying to blend in with humanity whilst trying to find a way to get home #idk im explaining it badly because its all just concepts at the moment haha #love to maybe put an unsolved/ghost files ref in there somewhere #especially since theres a ghost character

1, 8, & 21! Happy fanfic day!

😭❤️ Thank you!! Happy fanfic day to you too!!!

1. Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

Oooh I'm a sucker for having characters crushing on each other from afar before some sort of incident has them finally acting on their feelings. That being said, a lot of my fics are PWP one shots because instant gratification for my gremlin brain

8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it.

Okay this is a bit from the slow burn I'm working on rn 👀 I'm super proud of it because I feel I really got the emotion of reader's agony without spoiling what happened to them because that story comes later. It's mostly one sided dialogue but 👏 we love a pissed off reader getting ready to throw hands with Silco

"Do you have any idea what it's like to know you're dying? That these are the last moments of your life? To ask yourself what do you have to show for it? Was it worth it?" You shove Silco with each question until his back hit a wall, but even then you hit him once more to make sure he stayed.

"I do."

"I don't mean the fear that flows through your veins when someone holds a gun up to you, or the sharp pain of a knife in the gut." You correct yourself, change the weight of your words and watch his crystalline green eyes dart between yours and the others in the room behind you. "I mean the searing fire of wounds so severe you don't even feel them. Shock grasping you like you're a baby, cradling you through the agonizing seconds between the incident and the subsequent realization of it, only to open its cruel arms and drop you back into the reality that you are dying."

"...No."

"I didn't think so." You grit your teeth and bared them as you leaned in closer to his face. "Don't you ever think for a moment you know what I've been through."

21. How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?

For a one shot I usually send it to a friend and if they have nothing to edit or add she's done 🙏 But for chapters of longer fics I definitely run through it many times, especially since I'm indecisive and will likely change things in coming chapters. I usually try to get like five chapters ahead to cement ideas in before considering the first chapter done and no longer needing revisions. That being said, I still go over it again for actual typos or anything like that.

#J speaks #thank you!!! love you so much #ask game #edit: I should specify this is young!Silco before the whole...yanno.....near death experience 🤡

[justaholeinmysoul]

I'm glad I'm yet to interact with a zoomer irl for more than 10 minutes bc they are insufferable and honestly not that funny

#let me be an hater cause i am. my generation is trashed anyways might as well be what they say we are #ofc not so little z are hell bigots racist ableist and AGEIST prone to cult behaviour despite being more educated and free than older gens #but mostly they're a pain in the ass. and ok u inherited wrong stuff from the Internet which honestly it probably still belong to the older #zoomers but u can still question and change stuff yanno?that's what ur young for #the only thing i give them is that millenials were often ostracised and ignored by big corps when we said things perhap bc we didn't buy #they are constantly reinforced and used as a scientific source bc they buy and consume and are v conservative in their beliefs deep down #maybe irl they're not that awful who knows their parents are all the worst shit u see on Facebook and in politics tho
