Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art. #It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off. #Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways! #There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough' #only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize - #-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*) #And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans. #The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement. #I really can't describe how grateful I am. #Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out. #Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house. #But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants. #I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry. #Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

i've just discovered that they were selling the silliest lucifer plush and i'm so happy about it (unfortunately i am too late to get one myself)

i only just refrained from giving lucifer a hat to match his old man pjs, if only because i'm really bad at drawing hats

bonus:

#obey me #art #ohh my god i should've given lucifer a little candle to hold..... #ah well i just wanna post this and then i gotta force myself to go to bed #i have to wake up So early to catch the train tomorrow and alas i've probably already left it too late #i mean i can always take a nap on the commute but still. bed cosy #obey me lucifer #jtta ik

Rewatching the finale, Jinx is actually a lot more self-aware than people make her out to be. I find it funny how people say Silco manipulated her into becoming Jinx when she herself reveals that his words over the years weren’t what shaped her into this. She even recognizes that he projects his trauma onto her. So like… I don’t think she was manipulated. She’s not oblivious.

#also if silco really manipulated her she wouldn’t have wanted to reconcile with vi #like at all #and honestly #I think even if sevika and silco hadn’t said what they said her insecurities would have tainted the reunion because of caitlin #jinx wants vi all to herself so anything she deems a threat to that would have set her off #anyhow my point is silco’s speeches don’t seem to have brainwashed her like people claim because she still holds her own opposing opinions #maybe she gets influenced by them momentarily but she still has her own free will #it’s not manipulation if you’re aware someone is trying to influence you #and ekko even says jinx chooses to stay with silco #it even sounds like she was offered the choice and rejected going with ekko #arcane #jinx #silco #my opinion #lol I’m sure this is a controversial take #but silco never forced her to stay with him

Dog-catcher poles being used to manhandle Whumpee.

Wire choking off air when Whumpee fights or fails to move fast enough, easily cutting through the skin. Hands bound behind their back so that they can’t grab the pole being used to drag them along. Whumper(s) keeping their distance because watch it, this one bites—

#Thank you @whumps-and-bumps for the brain food <33 #Whumpee’s head being forced against the bars of their cage for an injection or a taunt #Whumpees who still fight the whole way DESPITE being choked and yanked and shoved every step of the way #Whumpees who promise that the only thing saving Whumper is the length of that fucking pole #Whumpees who are gagged in some way and so their sounds of struggle and pain sound animalistic #Whumper(s) degrading them for it #RECAPTURE #Whumpee’s cheek pressed to the ground as one Whumper holds the pole and another ties Whumpee’s hands behind their back #Whumpers treating Whumpee like a dangerous or disgusting animal #that’s the good stuff #whump

miguel o'hara voted most Just Some Guy Having The Worst Day Of His Life Every Single Day (But Literally He Just Lives Like This So It Cancels Out Anyways) of all time ever

#talking tag #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #marvel #comics #comic panels #genuinely genuinely i am SO curious as to whether or not atsv will touch on migs origin story at all because it is so distinctly Different- #-from the Familiar Spidey Origins BY DESIGN yknow........ #like YEAH he IS a really REALLY good character to use as an opposing force 4 miles 2 butt heads with he was MADE TO BE A FOIL TO SPIDER-MAN* #(*modern spider-man. Yes Miles Is Spider-Man dont even try to start that nonsense here lmao yall aint slick.) #but like. Yeah there is a Reason he wasnt Bit By A Spider there is a REASON his powers r nothing like other spider ppls powers are. #mig was. like. one of--if not THE--First Big AU Spideys he set that standard for what IS a Spider-Man-After-Spider-Man nd he IS NOT Peter. #Allegedly from an interview PAD claims that he was the only writer who DIDNT propose a book about a descendant of peter parker. #and. like. for all of its Quirks and all of the Wacky 90s Slang that didnt age well there is a REASON miguel still holds up y/k...

09 soapghost au, ghost was a member of soap’s unit before roba and they were together until he was taken. when he comes back and takes up the ghost mantle, simon riley is declared KIA and the hope that soap had let kindle in his heart that he’d come back to him dies. he throws himself into training, into becoming captain so he won’t let down another soldier the way he let simon down

then he recruits ghost to the 141 and ghost sees how much he’s changed, how much harder he is; slow to smile, never relaxing and he realises how much he fucked up by never reaching out. he’d thought he’d be better off without him, without the shell of the man he used to love but he’d done nothing but hurt him

after the close call with shepherd, soap wants to get right back into it, wants to hunt makarov down for almost getting his sergeant and lieutenant killed and ghost is yelling at him to just take it easy and heal first when soap snaps back, “i can’t lose anyone else! not again!” and ghost just rips his balaclava off, showing his face for the first time in years…

and soap says nothing. he just looks at him, completely unreadable. ghost clenches the balaclava in his hand, waiting for anything; even injured, soap can still pack a mean punch and he’s waiting for it, almost hoping for it… but he still does nothing. just stares

“well? c’mon!” he growls, stalking in closer. “let me have it! tell me how pissed you are! that i left you alone! that i ruined you the moment i touched you! that you regret ever fucking looking at me! scream, shout, say something!” until he’s leaning over soap’s chair, chest heaving

soap’s hand lifts and ghost can’t help his flinch before planting himself, ready to be struck, longing for it, to be punished the way he punishes himself-

soap’s hand gently cups his cheek and he freezes, breath catching as his thumb caresses the snake bite scars on his lip; feather-light and reverent. just like he used to

“you’re as beautiful as the day i lost you”

#i am not immune to the romantic scene of all time ft mr stoic how to train your dragon 2 #og soap is Young for a captain #like even if we arent given a canon age hes still like 30s maybe 40s if were pushing it #i dont know a lot about military shit but that seems young to me #so just soap who let himself become cold and focused everything on forcing himself to be better faster strong to protect everyone #until he finds himself as a captain of his own elite unit #handpicking men #and if he loses a single one it will be unequivocally his fault bc he chose them to be here #even ghost #this man that has no history beyond a few years of military service #no name no family even getting his blood type out of him was like pulling teeth #but sometimes #sometimes his complaints ring just a little too familiar #the way he holds himself tugging at his memory #even the way he idly flips a knife when waiting to be called in to interrogate someone #he doesnt dare to hope not when hope has never gotten him anywhere before #but then ghost takes the balaclava off and his walled off heart beats anew #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #talk to me ghost #soapghost #ghostsoap #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #soap cod #ghoap #09 soapghost #09 ghostsoap #save post

Alastor, freshly arrived to Hell, after wandering into a desolate forest full of apple trees where a lonely woman sits, crying with tear tracks etched permanently on her beautiful face: My dear, what's the matter? Come on now, turn that frown upside down!

Eve, about to make him wish he was never born:

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin hotel eve #im still a believer of eve holding Alastor's soul lmao #and the fact his smile really seems to me to be forced on by someone/something bigger than himself #like maybe she tricked him into being her pawn in exchange for inmense power but also she said “and don't forget to smile dear” #and now he just. can't stop smiling #i still havent thought of how his disappearance matching lilith's could fit with this though #maybe he was sent to find her or investigate her deal with adam? #and once he found out she was in heaven he decided to help charlie so he could get to her up there idk im making it up as i go lmao

scene from:

#hankcon #inspired from an amazing fic #the gap in between #by molias on ao3 #i dont even often read aus but i randomly opened this and its gotten a hold of me by the fucking nutsack #its just a doodle but man!!! i have feelings abt them #i had an insane hyperfixation on dbh when it first released and its back in full force this week for some reason #ive been playing the game and reading non stop #read another fic that i really wanted to draw for but it broke me so fucking bad i cant even think abt it #if youve been in the fandom its probably familiar to you. the fucking. approximate distance one #anyway. heres hankcon for anyone still enjoying it in this year #if the author of the fic ever happens to find this #know that your fic is making me go insane. i havent even finished reading it yet so ive yet to drop a comment but god DAMN. #dbh #detroit become human #my art

people have pointed this out before but I love how the death note jdrama highlights how needlessly cruel L is capable of being..... calling Light (and the other Kira suspects) early in the investigation to falsely accuse him of being Kira just to see how he'd react, taunting Light relentlessly while he was imprisoned and interrogated, and of course the mock execution. all while knowing no one can really stop him. the jdrama really said "btw don't forget this guy's an ASSHOLE"

#light had to solo that mock execution in the drama too no misa no kira just a boy staring down the barrel of a gun held by his father #drama light isn't exactly a saint but he certainly isn't as adept at handling such brutal psychological warfare like animanga light was lol #L is an asshole and we love him for it but he's still an asshole #death note #death note jdrama #death note drama #death note tv drama #l lawliet #light yagami #there were the little funny taunts like him going to the misa concert and hiring lookalikes to swarm the place #so misa couldn't figure out which one he was and discover his name #or that time during the yotsuba infiltration where he tricks light into running full force into a closed door #but by god when you think about it for too long some of the earlier stuff is brutal for someone they only knew to be a suspect at that poin #there is an element of horror in imagining the level of power L actually holds as the world's greatest detective #even in the animanga it's like..... if this is the shit he gets away with when there are cops present...... #I know that the kira case was unprecedented and it forced him to do things he normally wouldn't do (like going out in public for example) #but surely this can't be the first time he's staged a mock execution right...

As an avid D&D player and DM, I love this magic system you've created so much- bc it means that necromancy exists like it does in D&D, but because David is David (TM), he just goes "yeah, but yk what would make this better? Puppets." and just is flying by the seat of his pants trying to create a fusion of DIY crafts and reanimation. he even could be inadvertendly creating an entirely new form of magic while messing around with the Book and his puppetry, but no one will ever know bc he just wants to play around with his little flesh puppets instead of, idk, sitting down and writing an actual grimoire/codex on it and i love him so much for that <3

Really tho!! This is the closest anyone has ever come come to actual reanimation in this universe, not just souless zombies or possessed lamps, real breathing creatures with the souls of people and working innards to back it up! And he's not even writing it down!

#dhmis #two of us AU #im going to lay out some of my reanimation hc #Once someone's body has died their body is no longer able to hold a soul #they can't repossess it nor can anything else. its broke #even if you somehow reanimated the corpse it would still be soulless #The other kind of 'reanimation' is putting someones soul into an object (jewlery; technology; favorite objects; ect) #forcing the soul to possess something #the problem being that souls cant possess anything indefinitely #without a meat shield they'll just get weaker and weaker until they fade away entirely then your back to square 1 #souls NEED meat to latch onto #What David's done is combined these methods #Using parts from their dead body to make a brand new and compatible one #The main reason why this hasn't really been tried before is that transmutation magic is *very* complicated #especially involving living things #The book he has is a very advanced transmutation book. the sort that should NOT be available to the general public #I dont think David even realizes how much of a FIND that thing is. literally invaluable #idk if my worldbuilding makes sense but ramble over

imagine playing a game for over a hundred hours and are super excited to see how the main character goes through with the sacrifices that have been hyped up on the second to last day, and you’re so ready to witness this horrific, emotional moment, and then the final cutscene is the general dude and the kid he forced to go to war posing like they’re taking prom pictures

#no shade to ipl but what the fuck 😭 #block has NOT known clara long enough to be holding her like that #when me and my friend nox saw this at the end of my run we were fucking BAFFLED #it kinda comes across as creepy if i’m being real #i’m not saying that’s the intentions because i highly doubt it is #i think it could have been a tender gesture if block wasn’t actually pretty horrible to clara #like he isn’t rude to her but he DOES still use her #and also weirdly idolizes her #and forces her to go to war #i just don’t like block okay 😭 #but anyone this shot STILL bewilders me i home it does not return in P2 #pathologic #pathologic hd #pathologic classic hd #clara pathologic #clara the changeling #clara saburova #alexander block

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means. #when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial. #the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times. #often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost. #22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes. #he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home. #can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long. #Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place. #clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves. #he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.
