The way I get into horror is drawing something I'm really scared of. (Like the fear of spiders or clowns) I feel like if you turn your fear into art it doesn't seem so scary anymore....and since have the fear of the one ocean half of my drawings are based around water it helps somewhat to get into the horror mindset. (To me anyway!)

i would Love to do that, however my fear of spiders is like. they scare me to the point of tears <3 i Cannot look at them much less draw them <3

#because this is good advice! and i try! #but the only other things that actually scare me are like... things ive never drawn #so its Exhausting to have to learn an entire new thing yk? #and also my brain is tired in a way where the creativity is so fuckin low </3 #thinking of Anything takes concentration that i often lack #also im... not really scared by a lot? not Genuinely? #i go out alone into the pitch black woods at night to stargaze. like. lmao #the only thing i have a genuine fear of is spiders! #rambles from the bog #i mean... bogs creep me out. and i guess im scared of drowning. especially drowning in a bog. #but. eh.

"colies are very "decaf" herder IMO" hehe, I call these breeds GSD!lite :D White swiss, Bohemian shepherd... was wondering what else you'd desribe as decaf herders. Or any other breed group. Love talking dog breeds. Thank you!

honestly i wish i had a more interesting answer for you, but tbh i don't really know! i only know much about collies because i was interested in them specifically and thus did a lot of research into what it was like owning one - most other breeds/groups don't really interest me in a "would like to own" way, so that's not something i've really looked into. plus keep in mind that i refer to collies as decaf herders/herder-lite and i do stand by that, but that doesn't mean they're not still herding dogs at their core- if you're the type of person who hates herding dog habits/mannerisms, you'd still hate living with a collie. you'd just probably find them somewhat more tolerable than like, a border collie or ACD. but if you're like me and like herding dogs but just have a low tolerance for hyper-intense bullshit, they're a great fit.

i was trying to think of a sighthound breed that's less "sighthoundy" than the others but honestly i dont think there really is one, and that's something i really like about that group! i think it's cool that, because the breeds are relatively unpopular in a pet setting, they get to stay overall true-to-form. and dont get me wrong, im not one of those "all dogs must be working and pet lines are an affront to god" people, because i think a dog's ability to live as a "normal" companion is actually incredibly important to ensuring the survival of your breed. and a lot of hounds (both sight and scent) have the benefit of being dogs that were bred to work well together in groups and have a good off-switch for chilling when not actively out working, which translates well to pet homes. i'd confidently guess the majority of sighthounds in pet homes in the US are retired racing greyhounds, and thats a great example of a dog that's purpose-bred but still adapts well to pet life. collies are similar - still herders, still capable of doing herding work, but easy to transition to pet life.

but as for the other breed groups, i don't really have enough experience to give an informed opinion! though i'd welcome some thoughts from other people who are knowledgeable about their specific group of choice. sorry this didn't really answer your original ask lol

#i am extremely picky about what dog behaviors i will and will not tolerate so the list of breeds i'd actively consider owning is very short #but regardless i do have a lot of thoughts regarding Modern Companionship and Companionship As A Job for dogs #and specifically why discounting Companionship and a dogs capacity to exist as a functional one is a super short-sighted thing to do #but. eh.

thinking about dinomas instead of the many other things i need to do

previous post about it:

so. more about pre eeby:

Akari the T-rex, and her three Pteranodon siblings, Dawn, Barry, and Lucas, love going on the Dinosaur train pretty much every day.

Ingo and Emmet basically run a sort of... Sociology/physiology class, where the kiddos observe different dinosaurs and try to figure out why/how they do things ("i have a hypothesis!" as Buddy says in the show)

Ingo and Emmet have friends! like Skyla the microraptor, or Elesa the Dromiceiomimus!

pretty much everyone knows about Ingo and Emmet and thier love for battles. there are specific cars on the train to house small ones, but mostly its just done near the Train station. many dinosaurs try to test their strength against the twins.

Troodons are verrry smart! so once Ingo and Emmet meet a species they've never met before, and battle them, they immediately try to figure out an effective way to take them down (again, these are all friendly battles. its enrichment, if you will)

basically Ingo and Emmet can tag team pretty much anyone. if they've met the same species before.

this is getting long so more post eeby under the cut

so, the Dino train can travel thorough time, but there are some places, if the gate is not big enough, the the train cannot go through

that, however, does not mean a dinosaur cant go through =]

so basically Ingo doesn't remember how to leave the timezone he fell in (somewhere in the Pleistocene period) and Emmet cant get there bc the time tunnels (apparently that's what they are called in the show) are too small.

pearl clan, a group of Scimitar Cat (kinda like the saber tooth/Smilodon but their teeth are Much smaller.) take Ingo in after their Lady Sneasler carries him over

no one really knows what the heck ingo is, but they let him be warden of Sneasler. both clans are actually mammals in this one, with diamond clan being Beringian lions, (who, fun fact, might have been completely maneless! which is confusing considering the cold climate, but they might have been completely covered in thick fur...)

ingo chills there for a long while, until suddenly, out of the tiny time Tunnels (or space time distortions, as the Clans call them) a T-Rex appears. the group of Tigers called the Galaxy Team take her in and they occasionally meet up with the other clans.

a few days after Akari lands in the future (ha!) a bolt hits the nobles and they go into a frenzy. Akari is sent to take care of it.

the nobles are!

Kleavor- giant beaver (cut down trees) (they were the size of bears today!)

Lilligant- Scrophulariaceae (its a flower. its kinda sentient. don't ask.)

Arcanine- Dire wolf (but a big one. for context- Dire wolves are around the same size as a yukon wolf, which is 85 cm (~2.8 ft) tall.)

Electrode- a rock. (it'd be funny)

Avalugg- the ever approaching glacial movements. (melts and gives fresh water- that's why its a noble)

and the ride pokemon just to cover all basses:

Wyrdeer- caribou

Ursaluna- giant short-faced bear (VERY big. one and a half times the size of a grizzly bear. which is. Big.)

Basculegion- Quinkana (a crocodylian! big guys!! in the time period they are in, around 6 m (20 ft) long!! there is even some debate of them being 9 m long!!)

Sneasler- giant ground sloth (up to 3 meters long!)

Braviary- Haast's eagle (one of the larges known true raptors- but with a strangle small wingspan for its size- possibly up to 3 m)

i am well aware these guys would not live in the same area btw- but im talking about a universe with dinosaurs that built a time traveling train and magic- so...

anyway, eventually Akari and Ingo meet, and both are like "i have seen you before!!" but other than that vague feeling they don't really remember. she and Ingo talk a lot, and eventually come to the realization that the space time distortions (time tunnels) could lead them home.

Ingo instinctively knows that they should Not just. walk in one, and instead they chip away the the surrounding rock of one until ingo feels its Just the right size. for what, he isn't sure. he does think that there should be some shiny metal things coming out of it... but he doesn't know where to get that kind of material, so he doesn't bother with it.

one night, they are woken up by a sheer whistle, and then a horrible crash. Ingo rushes out to the Time tunnel to see a train completely derailed in front of it, tipped over onto its side.

a white Troodon stumbles out of it.

anyway thanks for reading this far! here is some art of ingo i did =]

#no shading today #sorry #dinomas #submas au #submas #you guys have no idea how much research i did for this #it feels kinda silly but also remembering my old dino hyper fixation... #could be worse! #also- how everyone interacts is decidedly inaccurate #in that they would all live on different ends of the globe #also where they live in game is nothing like the animals actual habitat... #sloths do Not live in the mountains #but. eh. #there is. more i want to dig into and explain #but ill. do that later #ah... im so sorry my other WIPs... this has completely derailed me... #oh yeah #if anyone wonders anything about this ever #or like #wants clarification #i will answer happily #thanks for reading *this* far #i hope you have a very nice day =] #ray's art

Listen...

Chihiro and Sayaka, despite them being siblings in my AU, I think they'd be cute. If they weren't siblings in my AU, I'd make them a couple. Just. Idk. They seem like a really cute pair.

#sam's talky talks #I don't wanna be basic fjdbejd. Plus all the Sayaka and Chihiro ships I see aren't that good #Except Kirizono. Kirizono is perfection #Owazono...eh. Not my favorite ship. But I love making art of them. Especially for this friend I have #Chihiro ships are eh...I just really don't ship Chihiro with anyone tbh #I just see Chihiro not really being all into relationships. Like Kiyondo #But...maybe Sayaka and Chihiro might be nice... #But. Eh. #<- Basically. I'm contradicting myself #I think I'm gonna stick with not shipping Chihiro with anyone

I'm a hater about the indomitable human spirit meme. Sorry, I'm just too edgy for it. Also I find "Universe big Earth no matter" reddit nihilism annoying, but I find the knee jerk reactions to it (like that meme) even worse.

(Partially because the first time I saw that I went "oh, yeah that sounds true but I don't care" and I don't get why everyone else can't and has to fight it so hard.)

#(to be clear the reason i find that reddit nihilism annoying is because like. i don't think they're saying anything insightful #but they tend to ACT as if they're extremely clever. which is annoying when it's something i've going 'yeah tru' at since i was like. 12!) #i do also think there's a slight reactionary bent to how many reactions boil down to Agree With Me The Human Soul Exists Or Commit Suicide #but. eh.

Ghastly formalities, Mrs. and Miss Westenra to be buried. The undertaker lady carries on the theme of Lucy being... I'll quote: "She makes a very beautiful corpse, sir. It's quite a privilege to attend on her. It's not too much to say that she will do credit to our establishment!" Ha, ha. Gross. Nothing more alluring than what looks like a consumption victim. Jack and van Helsing take care of things for now because Arthur - now Lord Godalming - has to attend his father's funeral first. How practical that they all die in a bunch. The remaining dude squad avoids the coroner as they should and want to keep further records of Lucy's condition away from prying eyes. Won't keep their own eyes off of our beauty of a corpse, however! Still gross. Jack is kind of done with the world; van Helsing is practical as ever and puts a golden crucifix on Lucy's mouth and some garlic flowers in her coffin.

Next step, running in on Jack when he's undressing. Did it get queer around here again? His plan is distinctly lacking in romantics and kindness however - he wants Jack's help in cutting off Lucy's head and removing her heart. Jack, who was in love with Lucy. That may be the right way to help out vampirism, but seriously, that's beyond insensitive. And van Helsing still doesn't explain it! He's all, "yeah, trust me on this; I have good reasons as always". After some pleading to Jack's trust in him, he closes out with, "let us not be two, but one." Gaaaay. And still dumb. Communicate, goddammit! One of the maids seems to want to pay Lucy her respect, but the next morning, van Helsing has taken from her the crucifix she has stolen... which apparently makes the entire chop-head-off number null and void? I don't get it; even if the night without big J's protection brought Lucy closer to vampirism, isn't this still the way to keep her from rising? Ugh. Anyway, Arthur inherits pretty much all the Westenra ladies owned. Good for him, I guess? Not sure he needs to care.

Stoker still does weird language in inappropriate moments - "[Arthur's] stalwart manhood seemed to have shrunk somewhat under the strain of his much-tried emotions"? Jack, why are you looking at Arthur's stalwart manhood in a moment like this? I'm sorry. I can't with the language. Arthur tries to take a little comfort in the fact that Jack who also loved Lucy was with her when she died, and then cries all over Jack. It's all very poly, but it's super sad. Then Stoker rubs into our faces how beautiful Lucy is once more. Will you stop it already? I got it, she's a vampire, but she's also lying there kind of dead! Arthur kisses her hand and her forehead to bid her farewell. How dare you make me feel things beyond cynicism. Next up: Arthur "fondly looking back over his shoulder at her as he came" (make your pegging jokes yourselves) and Ace Abe joins the polycule, saying to Arthur he has grown to love him. Nice. After that solemn episode of very heterosexual bonding, van Helsing asks to go through Lucy's papers, which Arthur allows. Jack stays in Arthur's room that night, van Helsing marches up and down the hallway before the room where Lucy is lying in state. There's roses, lilies, and garlic. Imagine the stench. No precautionary beheading ensues, because why ever.

I'm very much for shows ending on their own terms when their creators feel they're ready but. succession definitely seemed to me like there was at least another couple seasons left to go. curious if/how they're going to wrap everything up in one season.

Fofinggigigjgj you have no idea how long I’ve been waiting to show you this ehehehe

I think by this point, every artist in the fandom has drawn their own version of Donnie bot at least once haha. Well, I'm finally joining the party.

When I first thought about it a few months ago, I spent a long time thinking about what he would look like. But then I remembered that, hey, Donnie canonically has his dream robot design~
