do you ship ravage and drift? you draw them a lot and they're always so touchy lol

nah. they're really touchy amicas, tho. probably because im always touchy with my friends and it just kinda rubs off on my art. ravage is my Me character so i do end up giving him traits i have. one of those is being touchy with people he cares about 🤷‍♂️. he's especially touchy with drift as when they were grouped together in the dead end (which is where they met in my brain), ravage spent a lot of hours curled up in drift's car alt with laserbeak and buzzsaw for shelter. that touchy aspect never really left their dynamic.

and besides,

drift/deadlock's candle has always been lit for someone else.

(plus an extra doodle of them)

Varric definitely teases Liam for his pre-dating relationship with Fenris because they're Like That and because those two are regularly obnoxious together (said with love), but part of it is definitely also jealousy and a general I Don't Get It So I Must Make It Funny. Like. He is terrible at analysing his own relationships but he loves putting others into trope boxes. And he also likes to Know Things and believes himself to be someone who Knows about his friends and their lives. So what do you mean those two are on a wavelength that i can't tune in to? How come his friend shares a secret illusive bond with someone that he can't make sense of in any way? And that from my best friend with whom (i thought) i have become attached to at the hip...... Can't just say that of course so you gotta joke about it, like a normal person.

#varric (<- guy who hasnt had a single normal relationship ever) @ liam and fenris: that's not normal #sorry incoherent block of text but im once again scrunching them in my brain #& gotta put it somewhere before i go into any more plot with either of them lol #angst time soon! ^-^ cant wait for family matters hehe #laya plays dragon age #oc: liam hawke #i do really love liams and fens friendship though #feel like theyre very unspectacular as a romance lmao overall there is pretty little drama! except for the one big thing tm

something we have discussed is how dennis was the only one who could understand mac and that's great but can we also discuss how it must feel for mac that no one can understand him

this seems to be accentuated by how off he keeps being about things (offering of war/dennis being shot being "awesome"/being unable to read subtext both with dennis ["figure of speech"] and donald) and how much he's looking for a sense of meaning that he used to find in his identity until s15 made him realize how pointless it was (in a way that reminds me of his crisis in goes to hell 2...), but legacy, history, money and prizes are worth nothing if your heart is not in it.

and in a way I think dennis is coming to the same conclusion which is why he's the only one who can understand mac.

dennis "you're just being honest about how you feel" reynolds, so concerned with authenticity and upset by the perceived lies when it's just his own denial making it that way. that's building the biggest lie of all.

if we're looking for the Point, then the point is to have fun and embrace feelings. Big Mo already showed this.

it's interesting to me how it seems that mac and dennis are working off of each other in the way sunny works as a whole. because if mac is the structure and the text, and dennis is the subtext and the jokes (it's how he's trying to communicate in inflates but it's also the whole reason he comes with mac in madbu), they kinda NEED to be working together for the show to work... they need to find their harmonies, they can't just one or the other lead, they gotta have each other's back.

and also like, a small coda. this season deals so much with nostalgia vs how the past really was, there's so many flashbacks.

becoming aware of denial and reality can feel really upsetting but ultimately it's a positive development.

if "the hair is a lie" chopping off the head isn't the answer, that was the old way of doing things (in times of war... murder, betrayal, beheadings... "we figured out what works a long time ago"), but now we're looking for peace. basically, death isn't the answer. building your legacy doesn't have to be like pulling teeth. "this doesn't have to be a scam"

it's a good thing if we start seeing things for what they actually are, because it means less denial.

#iasip #s16 spoilers #it's always sunny in philadelphia #always sunny #macdennis #analysis #meta #i have decided that for my own mental health im not gonna do indepth meta until the season is over #by in depth i mean making extra sure i dont sound rambly as hell #i still want to make an extra post on charlie i have stuff to say about HIM but they closed soap so i cant screenshot shit #kms fr #the tldr is that charlie represents rcg's frustrations and fears to me pretty consistently since s14 #it's why a lot of his jokes have become ''thats actually not funny'' and ''this is so annoying'' or “can we just start?'' #and why he wants the status quo and laments that he ''wants his life to be simple and doesn't wanna live in a maze'' #and a lot more..... #sorry for metaposting do you still think im cool #i reread ''my thoughts on the first 2 eps'' and i basically already said all i think. except for this charlie thing #dare i say this season has a theme of truth? it's too early to say #but to have the meaning theme hit right after the identity one is crazy because its... LITERALLY WHAT RCG WENT THRU WITH SUNNY #anyway both mac and dennis are the jumper... theyre holding two big piles of darkness called denial rn #find yourself in him.... #it's 6am if this doesnt make sense thats why. but it does to me #big mo really was the key....

Anyway speaking of the sun did I ever tell you about the tales of arise eclipses

#im thinking about it again xyhdfgdchdchjh #do you think they like. considered it #i MEAN ofc they did #they cided that sun disappearing behind rena but dO YOU THINK #that they initially planned to have that actually impact like. the WORLD #in a significant manner? #with the actual luminosity level being affected and all #because like for cyslodia iirc this means no sunlight in the morning #(or cyslodia that we get to explore cyslodia's pretty big after all) #but like i can see how this is a problem like #you liberate cyslodia that is the One Realm where its always nighttime except when you end the renans' grasp on the region there #it still doesnt get a full day of sunlight because of astronomical reasons that we cant do anything about yet #also probably the region of the Central Ocean is in perpetual darkness as well but for those same astronomical reasons #like it GERS CONFUSING it would confuse everything idk #but heres the solution: you ditch that cyslodia in endless nighttime idea bc it was stupid in the first place #like. in calaglia they harvest fire astral energy so its a fiery place. theres fire everywhere. in menancia theyre harvesting #earth astral energy so its super lush and green. and so on and so forth #and in cyslodia theyre harvesting light astral energy so theres. theres no light. its dark. because theyre stealing it!!!!! #well why usnt menancia a barren wasteland then. why isnt ganoth super dry. wha #i COULD accept it if like. maybe. if like the completely stealing the light thing us like. ganabelt specifically. #like hes just a Special Boy and found a way to pull all the stops #and something like that has never been done before in the history of the crown contest #but no this has been going since the great conquest apparently so??? #like how arent the other lords doing something like that too? #is light astral energy like so fundamentally different that the harvesting process is the opposite of what happens in other realms? #and if thats the case why dont they ever explain it in the game. or just make a pasing comment about it. I'm not picky #aaaanyway. just get rid of that specific cyslodia plot point #and THEN you can focus on how living in the shade of rena influenced what parts of Dahna #like. to just kinda like. cement the world building a bit?

nothing better than a SKELETON! and BIG GIRL!

#put some concepts ive been rattling around in my brain on paper to shrug off this lil artblock ive got going on #very fun! #doods #yoo my post #theyve got no names theyre just some generic superheroes. except the skelton is a 700 year old undead warlockess. otherwise pretty standard #theres also a mercury type shapeshifter in BIG PANTS and a nerd in a wheelchair partially visible on p1 i green. theyre cool aswell:)

Tatsumi in !! Music: Aww, look at these kids. Oh, to be young again Me: My brother in Christ, you are 18

Nagisa and Sakuma in Road to Show: Gotta be adults and let the kids enjoy themselves while we grown ups take care of the work Me: Guys, you haven't even graduated from university

Keito to Kiryu: Gotta take care of our child Souma Me: ????? He's just a grade younger than you both???

Knights seniors: Must protect our adorable king from the horrors of the world Me: HE'S LIKE 3 YEARS YOUNGER THAN THE OLDEST OF YOU AND HIS FAMILY HAS ASSASSINS

Kiryu @ Kanata in the anime: As Ryuseitai's mom, you should help out its dad with the kids Me: "Mom" and "Dad" are still HIGH SCHOOLERS

#the enstars experience is being reminded that everyone but 2.5 people are currently under 20 #and then reading about them Experiencing the horrors of the entertainment industry #which granted...probably would make up kids grow up faster. especially with all the traumatic things they went through BEFORE school #but also like. the biggest age gap is probably between aira (15/16) and himeru (???) #or with the current knowledge aira and rinne (20/21 <-literally the only over 20 yr old after 19/20 rei) #and thats like 6 years which IS pretty big so he does get rights to call them all children #but i stand by me having a crisis over high school students saying theyre adults compared to guys 1 or 2 years younger #ignoring the fact that i do literally the same except im mostly joking and i think theyre all dead serious #enstars #ensemble stars #stuff i say #fandom spamdom #actually to be fair being a teen in high school IS thinking that this guy a grade younger than you is basically a fresh-faced child #its more when they talk about it as if their youth is fading when 94% of the cast are still in their teen years #like boys i know youre in the idol industry but come on

saw godzilla x kong

good movie, fun, nothing particularly earth-shattering but I dont think it had to be (nor did it want to be)

but

I'm not sure that Godzilla X Kong was. the best title for it. Whoever came up with it has NO idea what X is used for in fanfiction, clearly...

#i genuinely did enjoy the movie #i love non-earth environments #well its technically earth but like #it might as well not be #but thats why i enjoy the Avatar movies as much as i do #i think scar king was a good villain #its pretty clear he acts the way he does because he wants to and KNOWS he can get away with it #its the human-level intelligence there right #the other kaiju are mostly just animals #big animals sure #but animals #with exceptions but like #theyre just doing as animals do #scar king is a classic villain though #like ghidorah he knows exactly what hes doing and is relishing in it #godzilla x kong #godzilla x kong the new empire

#wanna get back into toh but the bits and pieces of stuff ive seen on tumblr and ig is. rancid #the show will always be good and dear to my heart despite its flaws #but the fandom? #theyve sandpapered down luz and the lumity ship in general and removed anything that made them interesting #instead of focusing on any of the relationships between characters that they spent all show building up #instead theyre just spamming the tags with mindless h/u/n/t/l/o/w fluff #bc compulsory heterosexuality i guess #im sure there are still a lot of ppl who make great art and fics for toh #and im sure a lot of ppl are still having interesting discussions about parts of the show that i would want to talk about #however i go into the tags and am immediately assaulted with hunter and willow playing out hallmark movie scenes #and i immediately lose interest #tbh the crew played into this shit towards the end too and it felt super cringe #not just the huntlow stuff but also sanding away any of the bite with lumity or even the clawthorne sisters #and not doing anything with willow and gus except for one scene shoved in last minute #they were more interested in catering to fandom stuff than telling the actual story even if it turned out pretty alright in the end #this is just a problem with rly big fandoms mostly #this is what happened to star vs the forces of evil i think #dont quote me on that i stopped watching in season 3 #anyway owl house good fandom bad #how dare fandom not cater to me specifically #i want to participate in fandom but i dont want to do the main activity of fandom #which is to sift through piles of garbage to find stuff that i actually like #shut up pandora

More kazooieposting because why not. What's your favourite stage theme?

let's see... with kazooie, it's probably clankers cavern because i just really like clanker. he's so cool and i like hanging out with him.

with tooie, while i feel like it's everyones favourite, it's gotta be witchy world. it's just such a fun world overall that it's hard to pick anything else.

#ask #anon #if i had to pick seconds for both? lets see... uhh... #maybe treasure trove cove? i feel like its a close second. just really nice level. except for the clams. fuckars. #theres a fun detail i noticed with treasure trove coves music #so theres a little segment in the tune that appears a bit late thats the exact same chord progression as bottles challenge music #and thats so neat to me because like. where do you go to get a few specific cheat codes? bottles minigame #and where do you put those cheat codes in at? treasure trove cove #its just a really fun touch #but ough... my boy clanker.... i cant pick favourites over my boy clanker... #ill get you out of there man. theres a huge sea out there. #as for tooie... terrydactyland? i always loved playing through its world #i remember watching a tier list recently and they had terrydactyland pretty low on the list. because of how empty it is #which is definitely a fair statement. but as a kid i didnt mind honestly #but really its so hard to pick anything over witchyworld. its music. its theme. the different areas. oughhh..... #i even like mr patch. except for like one part of his design that changes with his return in nuts & bolts. #beyond that. fun design. i like him a lot if we can ignore a part of his design. #i also like how proportionally large the interior of the big top is. #the only thing i dislike about mr patch is his actual boss fight. aiming. aiming eggs at his patches. and hes constantly moving about. #most hated themes? uhhh i cant really pick one in kazooie really. theyre all good even if rusty bucket bay sucks #tooie? probably glitter glutch mine. or jolly roger lagoon. #those two i never liked playing through really. #jolly roger lagoon scared the shit out of me as a kid. i hated the ominous deep hole in the middle of the lagoon #and the underwater segment sucks because so much of the level looks the same. #glitter glutch mine... idk what about it i disliked. it was honestly the one level i dreaded playing the most in the early game #its visuals arent the worst but. idk something about it i didnt really enjoy. maybe those damn fps segments. #anyway! thank you for the ask anon!!! :)

Lmao my cousin was the only hold out on signing our aunts will, bc she was mad that our aunts car (which was promised to her) wasn't in the will, and well... It came and bit her in the ass bc LEGALLY, like a fucking JUDGE in COURT told the executors that they have to SELL the car at market value ($11,000). Fuck around and find out bitch 💅

I mean had she signed it earlier it's not like she would've gotten the car, but she was trying to play chicken with the will in a dumbass attempt to get them to just give her the car

Sucks to suck biiiiiiitch

And to be perfectly clear, as someone who knows what every person got, she can afford that easily. She can afford to buy a brand new car. But nooo I NEED to have this 2008 Ford fusion! You HAVE to give it to me! You guys are just assholes!

I kinda hope she tries to steal it somehow, bc god that would be fucking hilarious. Like she'd be arrested. And I KNOW at least one of the executors WOULD press charges sgsgdggdgdg

#marquilla #this is what i was trying to talk ab like last week when i talked ab cutting out several family members #finally had the energy to and im relishing in the karma rn im ngl #she and her sisters are liiiiivid that i got the same amount of money as them (and more ;) ) and theyre soooo mad sgsgsgdgd bc our aunt #(great aunt) helped raise them and it's like hmmmm guess she loved yall but didnt LIKE yall ;) die mad ab it bitch 💅💕 #her and her sisters have been such fucking brats ab this shit since the funeral (except one of them but the others literally forget ab her #so like...) anyway they're sooo mad it's so funny to me #literally sitting here like that meme of the person sitting pretty with big eyelashes and the 'and me' monkey meme #it's not even like a good car i mean my aunt took really good care of it but like... girl the mileage... buy a new fusion it's worth the $

My toxic trait is that all of the breeds I'm interested in are rare breeds that are impossible to find

#sigh #except collies but ive said it before ill only get a collie from 2 breeders total and like 3 bitches total between them #i think beauces besides collies are the most popular of the breeds i have an interest in #cirnechi? good luck theres like 2 around here and they almost never show #dogos? good luck theres 1 that shows consistently and 99% of dogo owners are the most toxic people youve ever met #german pinschers? good luck there are 0 that show in the state and a nonexistent breed community (that ive seen) #laekenois? good luck there are 0 that show in the state and the community is teensy tiny and concentrated on the coast #so unfair. wish i had different tastes. lol #i really want to meet a laek because i want to see how they compare to the other belgians #i know theyre all 'the same breed' but groens/tervs/mals are all different here in the states ime #groens and tervs are quite similar #but mals are a lot more intense (id say show lines are pretty similar across the three but i like mals the best out of the show lines) #also the sex differences between the belgians are CRAZY #the males look like totally different dogs #i prefer bitches in every breed (maybe not in appearance in dogos) but geez the difference is stark in belgians #the bitches are teensy tiny #cutest little pointy things #males are big and square with SO much coat. too much coat #i draw the line at a rough collie bitch. we will have one (1) fluffy dog in my house. LOL

Some more creatures and their lusii! Having a lot of thoughts today about these silly folks (I might ramble some about them in the tags)

#homestuck #hs #homestuck oc #OK SO FIRST OFF i changed Maltur's name to Marmur but im still super indecisive and thought 'Marmut' sounded cool too #Marmur fit sorta well bc it sounds like murmur and his whole thing is that he doesnt talk out loud often #and when he does hes usually very quiet #he has a SHORSE DAD #vigila is a teal blood so of course hes got the whole justice thing going on. hes like a detective who takes the law into his own hands #sorta. #like batman except hes lame as shit (affectionate) #hes not nearly as tough as he thinks he is & hes got a big sweet tooth; he loves candy #he absolutely would read stuff like nancy drew. his lusus is a hound dog sorta like scooby doo. Scooby Dad if you will #Lepido is a gold blood so ofc she has psychic powers but as cliche as it may sound she doesnt have a good handle on them yet #the reason her horns are different in two pictures is bc those were older pictures of her so ive changed her design since then #she gets excited very easily and is a bit of an airhead (but we love her anyway). she dies photography as a hobby #and shes pretty good at it :] #i dont have much to say about Molee other than their pronouns are they/them theyre an artist and they eat crayons #or chalk #one of the two. they definitely eat their art supplies #i only have two typing quirks figured out but Lepido triples the last letter in her sentence and doubles her punctuation #and Marmur replaces 'o' with a period and ends his sentences with punctuation followed by a comma #anywho. sorry 4 rambling like this i have not done this on tumblr in a while. but if youve read up to this point thank you :] #potatart

momo, pining after shouto: wow i admire everything he does and how he does it so elegantly! i like that we can relate on an academic and social level :)) but somethings not quite right 🤔

momo, meeting saeka and having her bi awakening: oh™️

#momo gives off Big Bi Energy honestly lol #saeka is not a carbon copy of shouto #but theyre pretty close in mannerisms #with the exception of the righteous fury of the youngest sibling yk #but i think momo likes the lack of restraint saeka shows compared to shouto #it just makes her seem hella passionate #it drives momo crazy #but she also likes feeling protected sometimes by her ice goddess girlfriend #au: arent we too young for this brother? #ship: SaeMomo #oc: todoroki saeka
