#but particularly these days

[markscherz]

do you feel positive, negative, or neutral about inaccurate plastic skeleton halloween decorations? like what's going on with this guy's everything?

you may not know this, but I am something of a specialist on amphibian skeletal anatomy, and this… thing is a sin against my entire field.

Frogs do not have ribs. Where is its pectoral girdle? Why does it have mammal feet? What even happened to its hips? Why does it have SO MANY VERTEBRAE‽ And what in the seven hells happened to its skull? Hypertrophy is one thing, but this… this is just lazy. They seem to have decided to give it a beak??? And the nostril is super far back and also somehow integrated into a bone¿?¿?

What in the name of Eru Ilúvatar is going on‽

#holy hells this is horrific #only 265 days to Halloween #frog #except really not a frog #this is a particularly mistreated dog #and even then #ugh #answers by Mark #csevet

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

#not a shitpost #serious post #ask to tag #tw trauma #cptsd #c-ptsd #and if so we should TALK about it #because it means there are a whole group of survivors out there whose mental health regularly worsens during holidays #like i know i am most certainly not the only person who feels an undefined Dread hanging over christmas/my birthday/july 4 etc #bc too many shitty things happened during those times and now my brain is hypervigilant bc traditionally these are the Danger Times #and this seems like it would be particularly common for survivors of abusive/dysfunctional households (aka most people with c-ptsd) #because holidays/vacations typically mean 1) the whole family is together/being forced to interact #2) and undergoing external stressors e.g. travel/relatives aka 'outsiders' visiting/routines & coping mechanisms being interrupted etc #3) there is social pressure for this to be a Fun Family Bonding Experience which only highlights the cracks in the foundation #and exposes the common Everything Is Fine/We Are A Happy Family lie #4) the cognitive dissonance of feeling tired/anxious/stressed/afraid during a time when you are 'supposed' to be Making Good Memories #and then everyone is angry/tired/anxious/triggered and things boil over and something or someone goes Very Wrong #weird that i'm posting this in october when halloween is...sort of the ONLY holiday i have only good and happy feelings towards #i got lucky there #also i have positive feelings towards Labor Day but that's for socialist reasons

okay but like. I just had the weirdest thought about that ‘don’t look I’m naked’ comic. Which is that that’s essentially the same thing Adam and Eve did after they ate the fruit of knowledge of good&evil. So I feel like the theological implications of that could kneecap Gabe if he doesn’t think V1 is a being with free will.

yeah ok. i dunno man. is this anything

((side note. this isn’t necessarily meant to be in-character or story-accurate or take place at any particular point in time, just a way to explore some Thoughts. i was also imagining more that V1’s words aren't actually spoken, more like Gabriel’s more articulate interpretation of whatever garbled mechanical noise V1 is using to communicate. I think an angel could do that.))

and then they fucked nasty the end

#my art #my writing #who fuckin sent this. fuck you. come off anon so i can kick your ass. (the thoughts this ask sparked consumed almost 3 days of my life) #i dont know what this even is #i just work here #disclaimer i don't come from a particularly religious background so like. #most of my knowledge of christianity comes from when my mom sent me to vbs for cheap babysitting in middle school or absorbed via osmosis #so i have no idea what im talking about except for when i do! hope this helps #i love how i say that like i expect biblical scholars to tear apart my ultrakill gay fanfiction #if you are a biblical scholar and you want to tear apart my ultrakill gay fanfiction please know i am not going to read the bible for this #ultrakill #v1 ultrakill #gabriel ultrakill #gabv1el #blood #love tagging ultrakill stuff with blood. hmm yes the floor here is made out of floor

Just remembered the time the lesbian throuple in theater class back in high school asked me when I was going to go on HRT, and how one of them offered to help me get on it. Those lasses weren't just pre-ordering, they were trying their best to fund the damn kickstarter.

Love your art so much. Will you show us cool nature pics from your country? I'm literally so stoned I forgot where you live sorry.

Sure anon, why not. I'm not a photographer so the quality of these is kind of slushy at best. I like nature and wander around a little bit, but I rarely hike properly, so I don't go to that many scenic places. These are mostly from regular walks. Long post warning.

Summers are short but very green, and since we're at the arctic circle we get sunlight around the clock. Some of these were taken at midnight or early morning small hours. Most of Finland is very sparsely populated and covered in boreal forests.

Finland is a very watery country, lots of lakes in particular.

Sometimes you get intense sunsets

And winters are very cold, snowy and last about six months. In summer we have midnight sun and in winter there's the polar night to counter it. Around late December sun only rises for about two hours per day where I live so it's very dark for many, many weeks on end (which is wonderful if you get seasonal depression like I do). But sometimes the weather and lighting are just right and you get this ethereal pastel effect that I love.

#we also have northern lights pretty regularly and those can be magical but I'm not enough of a wizard to take good pictures of them #I have a friend who Photographs Nature With Intent and goes to all these natural parks to do it #but I'm not them so this is the best I can do #I particularly regret that I don't have any bog/swamp/marsh pictures to show you because they're actually really aesthetic locations #believe it or not #and an iconic part of Finnish nature #anonymous #long post #answered #lamentably the best ethereal pastel effect only happens on very cold days like from -20°C to -30°C #so if you take out your phone and remove gloves to snap a photo your phone battery dies very quickly and your fingers freeze #so it's a bit inconvenient

Ngozi Ukazu's BARDA

The nice people at DC were kind enough to send me an ARC of this with an eye to a possible blurb. Which I was delighted to give it.

This is going to be a fabulous read for anybody who's a New Gods fan—as I've been since early 1971. I've sworn numerous great oaths not to spoil anything (which is just as it should be)... so all I can do for the moment is point you at Barda's page on the publisher's website, and urge you to preorder this in the way that suits you best.

Ukazu is such a talent. Not only as a writer, but as an artist as well. She wasn't on my radar before, but she sure as hell is now. 😀

#ngozi ukazu #Barda #Big Barda #(as she will be some day) #Scott Free #(I particularly love the way Ukazu draws him) #(but then all the art in this is beautifully done)

Ren was very dog today thank you Ren

#hc 10 spoilers #rendog #every day of drawing Ren is a struggle because I have to make the painful decision between mostly human Ren or mostly werewolfdog Ren #when he's being particularly cute or scary I imagine wolf. Otherwise he's just some pathetic guy #tubby art

all my other comics

store

#cw: eye scarring #cw: christianity #as a theme. and not a particularly positive depiction either. #the calamity has anger issues but is earnestly trying her best #the survivor is patient #and also not scared of her at all #the calamity is talking about the story of samson and delilah in pg 2 btw #i tend to only make oneshot short story these days but im fond of this pair #had the urge to draw something a little mundane with these two and the slowest slow burn of a relationship you could ever imagine #also usually a broken mirror would equal 7 years of bad luck but the calamity so outclasses it as far as bad omens go #im pretty sure the effects are just cancelled out #anyway #next comic will be a different story entirely i promise #thank you for your patience #and as always #thank you for reading #comic art #sapphic art #stillindigo art #hearteaters #stillindigo comics

Ghost visits Soap while they're both on mandated leave for the holidays. He'd like to say that dropping off something for Price was the only reason he made the trip but...that would be a lie.

#i literally made this comic from start to finish in two days #thats the strength of this brainrot #i took a lot of influence from umikochannart if any of you know her #particularly the outlined highlights and the use of screentones #i really liked doing this actually but colouring always tired me out so this isnt setting a precedent for coloured comics in the future #im just #i wanted to do something special #for the holidays #and especially for these two idiots who deserve each other #happy holidays to everyone but especially gay people #ghostsoap #simon ghost riley #john mactavish #john soap mactavish #cod mw2 #giragi art #comic art

i love the contrast between how the game wants you to view Solomon (sussy baka man who is very terrible i promise i swear hes horrible you shouldnt trust him okay trust me hes the worst)

and then how Solomon acts in Nightbringer (will live in the past where everyone hates him/isnt as close to him just to protect you and just wants to be a househusband and will go to war against powerful demons for you despite his powers being weakened and literally just wants you to be safe)

#i didnt particularly care about solo in the og game but once i started nightbringer hOO BOY #why were they depriving us of soft househusband solomon who looks forward to going on dates and wants to cook his partner nice things #and comfort them after a long hard day and will do literally anything for them and giggles to himself about how he cant wait to live togeth #and points out how he sounds like hes married to mc and teases lucifer for being jealous about it #anyway. #obey me #obey me nightbringer #solomon #obey me solomon #om! solomon #imagine being normal about fictional men could nawt be me

“Again, with the horn?”

I was thinking about this & something tells me if Fizz used the horn every morning, Ozzie would eventually get used to it & sleep through it. It still works on Ozzie because the horn isn’t the only thing Fizz uses to wake him.

He has various things.

All of them extremely obnoxious, but unapologetically & fittingly Fizz.

#he’s got a ton of stuff to switch it up #like one of those hand clapper things #& a siren megaphone #& waking up early to set up a ridiculous amount of alarm clocks to all go off at the same time #& many other things of that nature #& while fizz likes to have his fun he’s never mean about it #if ozzie’s had a particularly long day fizz will let the sin sleep in & wake up on his own #if fizz happens to wake up before him he will just lay on ozzie’s chest & wait for the other to wake up #oops I got carried away again #fizzarolli #helluva boss asmodeus #fizzmodeus #fizzarozzie #helluva boss
