One among many things I love about Dragons Risings writing is that they're so unapologetic about making the original team very cool, but also absolute dorks.

It's just kinda refreshing to me? Like, yeah, sure, Lloyd's the super-awesome Green Ninja who's a descendant of God, Kai could set the world on fire if he wanted, Nya does not hesitate and was the ocean that one time, Zane will casually mention the most insane shit he did on a whim, Cole has a lava and rock monster form, etc, but like...they're also losers. Lloyd gets bullied constantly and tries to explain what a crab is, Kai has so much intelligence but so little wisdom at all given times, Nya has a 'shit happens' attitude as if she is not actively failing through this shit happening, Zane talks to a broom with Pixal's face on it, and Cole has it together the most by being a 9-to-5 dad with a boyfriend who he 100% believed was his power crux.

They're just people, y'know? Saving the world a hundred times over doesn't mean they're not still 20-something nerds who've been stuck doing this since they were teenagers. One cannot erase the time they had bad boy doppelgangers for like two minutes. Or had to raise their teacher. Or had the weirdest relationship drama. Or were huge video game and tech geeks.

And Dragons Rising isn't afraid to let them be that. To acknowledge, yeah, objectively, they're cool as hell, but to also admit that they're just kinda fucking around and finding out. It's a wonder what consistent and likeable characterization can do, who woulda thought?

#ninjago #dragons rising #ninjago dragons rising #lego ninjago #lego ninjago dragons rising #ninjago dr #lloyd garmadon #ninjago kai #ninjago nya #ninjago zane #ninjago cole #text post #talk #ninjago writing #im so excited for when we get to see jay again and see how he looks cool but also like an absolute loser #the idea of something being cool AND silly is possible and its right here in dragons rising i love it so much #its mostly the animation where they flex and i do love that #theyre not afraid to show that these guys are like. experienced. they know what therye doing. they can fight really well. theyre GOOD #but also kai accidentally blows up the wrong building cause he let wyldfyre have a map #and nya is like well that stone seeker thing gave us eyes. im sure its fine #and they ask zane 'are those tubes safe for humans' and he just deadpans 'no' with no further elaboration #cole confused at all times abt whatevers happening but nodding and going along with it anyway #and lloyd just being lloyd. bestie no u cannot clean the whole monastary. wu made the boys clean the monastery all the time #he just didnt make you do it cause your his favorite #ITS JUST RLLY FUN #I MISS WHEN THINGS WERE FUN

Saw a tutorial a few days ago about using gradient maps to color so I redrew this screenshot of wolfwood as a warmup :3 (Version without the screenshot under the cut)

#also subsurface scattering <3 #he’s a bit too pale for my tastes since this was the first time I used gradient maps like this and I couldn’t figure out how to adjust that #without making it look muddy and weird #I’ll get it next time I think #trigun #trigun stampede #nicholas d. wolfwood #trigun fanart

Further experimentation... A lot more errors with the face than with the body that's for sure but progress nonetheless

#ffxiv #tsuwamono seiei #Older version looked like a little bat #this is hard lmfao #The normal map for the body is so much more intense than the head and I don't know why? #Like I even tried to exaggerate the normal map and it just doesn't work #Not to mention the fact the colors don't line up for some reason despite using the *exact* same shading #Also the neck seam which... Just isn't going to be fixed ever I'm pretty sure #Lays on the floor and dies #This is gonna be so bad when I actually get to the last part of this I wanna do 😭

im in texture paint hell

#3d #wip #the first pic is when i did the body uv map for the texture paint lol #since i used flat colors as placeholders before and just used project from view to assign colors #idk what im doing wrong but my shoulder always gets so sore from drawing on the computer #maybe i should just take more stretch breaks #i like the look of these soft painterly textures but man is it a lot of work #also i never do soft shading when im drawing because i cant be bothered #so im kinda in foreign territory also lmao

genuinely and legitimately when i see how so chronically incurious about the world some americans are i wish i could buy everyone a geoguessr subscription and every evening mandatory 15 rounds of Country Streak so you get to see how other people live

#“oh we just don't know how [country] looks we can't travel 🥺” i'm going to force you to play gameified google maps #and if you don't find which country you're in 7 times in a row (being soft on a beginner) i'm not giving you your phone back #''i didn't know they had [x] in [foreign country] they don't teach us this in school!!!'' they didn't teach it in mine either and yet #i went Google Maps Drop Me In This Country and i wandered around #you're on the allmother's internet and you don't even google search image? at this point it's on you #you are getting dropped in brazil and if you cannot pick it between all the latin american countries your computer is shutting itself off. #you are going to wander the beautiful countryside of slovenia for 30 minutes not knowing where you are and you will discover some places #have accents on their letters you didn't even know existed.

the absolutely Vivid reality based chronological dream i had last night. man

#i got a job at like... an automobile warehouse or something? #we had to change a large trucks tires... #and i was sent to get some more from across the block or whatever #and its more complicated than that - there were conversations and interactions with people etc #and i was trying to find it but it was all like... in this corridor shopping mall? #the signs were western themed and listed items that you could get in that store #though i think it was all free? #anyway at some point it opened into a restaurant and i had a friend there who was carrying a plate for people who left prematurely #so i of course started shoveling it into my mouth - free food! but their manager caught us #and i had to be all 'hey i work around here im just lookin for tires and no one was gonna eat this anyway' #it was like... a rice/mango/cream thing...? strange because i dont like mangoes! #long story short i had to go back for the tires bc i wound up forgetting them. something about a dog.... #i was too late in getting the tires so i had to go sort rubber bolts instead :/ at least the warehouse was cool #absolutely unprompted #but it was very. linear. and it felt very real. like it was genuinely a place and a job that could exist #like i remember what the outside loading area looked like. the packed restaurant. the corridor. the warehouse. the lockers. the hallway #IF I HAD A BETTER MEMORY I STG I COULD MAP IT OUT #god i love my dreams. they're always plot based and im rarely myself <3

for the requests, hollyleaf? :3c

#warrior cats #warriors #hollyleaf #wc #po3 #thunderclan #the two designs look a weeee bit wonky and dont match up as much as id like bc im still getting used to drawing on this screen #my old monitor was basically a square so i gotta adjust for tablet mapping squishing everything i draw more than im used to #makes it harder to plan face shapes n stuff....

Holy shit IT WORKED!!

I've been completely lost I didn't thought it would work i was just desesperate aeoirgjoiejgrji

#that feeling when you unstuck yourself in a video game all on your own without looking at a guide grjaoierjgaieroji #saying this because I've forced myself to resist the urge to use a guide/map on internet #because i have this bad habit and while it helps it has a tendency of ruining my game experience #it's just myself im not criticizing anyone who does it! #It's just that I kept doing that with Zelda games and i realized it kinda sucked a lot of the fun of the games #of discovering by myself how to get unstuck #aoierjgaoij so im glad when i find it all on my own #Super Metroid #Metroid #Mabu plays Metroid

#metro 2033 #khan metro 2033 #my art #the metro 2033 map is the most beautiful thing ive seen in my life #honestly every map that takes after the harry beck map style is the most beautiful art ive seen in my life #obsessed with the clean lines and angles.... #how things line up so cleanly... #well unfortunately i did freehand this one albeit with like 3 or 4 sketches to get it right #so its wonky in places but thats ok!!!! i dont think anybody's going over this with the actual map pulled up on the side to pick out the #proportional errors and wrong angles except for me so its fine!!!!! lmao #anyways recently i was also looking up lymph nodes in the face and then went holy crap!!!!!! #we all have a metro inside of us..... #so that was the inspiration for this lol #anyways hope you like the drawing! <3

PSA: 

If you have related to how I have described Nathan’s struggles with his mental health and some experiences with life; emotional, physical and social etc (ignore the story/his fam background for this; I mean if you have been able to relate to his feelings/anxiety/negative physical sensations etc.)

Might be worth it to get your blood checked. 

Especially B12, Vitamin D, Iron levels and Ferritin (ferritin should be 100+).

Building on top of the character, character background, and my research into trauma / mental health etc, I have always used a lot of my personal experience when describing emotions, feelings, and how mental health issues can feel like or present. It’s my attempt to make the writing feel realistic, had I experienced the things in the story or not. Aka even if the story was high fantasy and thus not realistic, I’d source my own feelings to make it ‘real’.

So. Regardless of what's causing it in the story: If you have ever related to how Nathan FEELS or describes his experience with the world and his brain… (Anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, feeling like an outsider/in a fishbowl, easily overwhelmed or over tired; social withdrawal, social anxiety, heart palpitations, chest pains, breathlessness, dissociation, irritability, issues with cognitive function; memory, overthinking, insomnia, brain fog, panic attacks, slow recovery from physical activity, etc etc et fucking c) 

Turns out bish has been chronically deficient of many things for a very long time due to stomach issues that stopped nutrients from absorbing. Antidepressants have never successfully worked for me, and it’s now looking like that’s because my mental health stuff could've largely been a physical symptom, instead of just purely mental health?? 

I have been on a pile of supplements for a bit now and uhh… It’s like night and day? Even with the other health stuff I've been getting treated for, it's been... So much better?? Like. Life changing amount of difference?? And I’m only just starting out fixing these deficiencies, which could take a long time. But...

Holy shit, “Better” might actually be a real thing after all?? There was a reason I've been so "stuck"???

Kind of mad… And sad. Because if this is true and I keep feeling like I have been recently, it means I’ve lost a lot of time to this. I try to focus on how good I’ve been feeling though, and stay curious for this journey of what literally feels like a second chance at life.

Just… Wanted to post this in case it could help someone else. This is a highly personal experience, mental health issues absolutely exist on their own too and there's possibly often overlap as well. But stuff like this can make existing mental health conditions worse too, so either way it’s worth checking. 

Yeah. So.

Happy new year?

From someone who might be pulling a whole Phoenix moment???? xx

#Apologies for the silence here #Been going through a lot if you can imagine lol #I have a bunch of asks and messages to catch up to #I'm so sorry for taking forever #It might take me a bit longer still but I promise I'll get back on here at some point hopefully soon #Your messages mean so much to me<3 #Take care everyone <3 #Also #the description of Nathan's experience could and would still be rather accurate #even if you don't have these physical health issues!! #Depression and anxiety etc from a deficiency is still depression and anxiety #+ when I write Nathan I have a set of mental health “maps” or “guides” for his character (like C-PTSD and CEN and OCD) #Yes I use my own feelings and experiences to describe his anxiety etc #But his character is built around specific mental health markers / trauma research / symptoms etc (like C-PTSD and CEN and OCD) #So I'm pretty sure Nathan's POV would still look very similar based on just that research and ignoring the stuff in this post #Hope this all makes sense :'o

Guess who just finished Mordremoth's Fang the other night. :)

#my posts #GW2 #Guild Wars 2 #sylvari #Ceara the Defiant #i WANTED to do a photoshoot in post-Vinewrath silverwastes #but nobody was running it because of the festival so rip #so instead you get this! which still looks cool i think. #i had to buy most of the jade runestones tho because i needed so MANY. man the second-to-last step is greedy lol #now i gotta decide what i want to do next... i have almost everything to complete the Predator (its precursor dropped for me a while back) #but i still need a bunch of onyx lodestones and those are.. pricey. oof. that's all i have left for it tho. #and i'd be out of Gifts of Exploration. + if i want to make another Aurene legendary i'll need to map complete echovald again (agony) #ah well. i'll cross that bridge when i get there #this was my big endgame. all my scarlets keep getting spoiled with legendaries LMAO (it's because they'd actually use 'em) #Aurene's Rending might be cool for Saoirse the Flame but i kinda like her just with the bioluminescent set tbh #and even though Pirkko has Aurene's Fang i honestly use Scarlet's Kiss (rifle) on her more than the sword rip #at least holosmith is kinda funny and if i kill things with the holoforge I GUESS it thinks i've swapped to sword and does the crystal kill #but maybe it just does that in general if you have them on a weapon swap because i could swear Saoirse did it once too. idk

#animal crossing #animal crossing new horizons #acnh #tom nook #smth smth #yeah ive just been playing acnh again. sorry #i just unlocked terraforming this morning (as of when im creating the post on monday not when its posted on thursday) #so hopefully by the time this is posted ill have gotten some rly nice street patterns made up #i found some pretty good ones but the way they were set up was like. not exactly what i need? so im trying to like #rip them off ig??? is that bad? idk. im gonna put my own spin on em ig #im just not super good at making convincing like...sidewalks w depth to them and such #anyway hopefully this time around i can really get my island looking as baller as i want #the reason i restarted was bc id fucked my island up so thoroughly that i wasnt even sure what to do w it anymore #or where to start w it #also my plaza was SUPER close to the airport. #so i chose a different layout this time where the plaza is like in the middle right area of it #more room for an entrance and such #i even have made up a Future Map including new landscaping and zones #so ill get to that over the next few days since i have time off work #also! this is the first entry ive made using my new smth smth tools #namely the automatic halftone-ify-er and a custom hand-drawn font #it took a bit less time to make this one since i didnt have to 1. hand write the dialogue and 2. think about the specific halftone colors #im still sticking to a limited palette (specifically 256 web safe colors) just cuz #but yeah. if you have actually read all of this and you have thoughts on the look of this one vs the previous ones lmk 🩵 thanks #also have a good day and drink some water :)

netflix one piece live action feels a little like fanfic in that it makes sure it hits all the important notes but doesnt do all the work to make them hit which works in fic where the reader is supposed to bring all the emotional story investment from the original but doesnt work in a multi million adaptation that is supposed to be able to stand on its own or even serve as an intro to the series. it even does this in service to have more koby and helmeppo gay moments in this essay i w

#one piece #opla #the fleshing out of koby and helmeppo is like honestly good its a beacon of light its truly really fun #and all the actors are great it is just what they are given . #they didnt let nami do any real betraying. they didnt even have her steal the merry!! she just stole the map that they added in!!!! #ddont get me started on the gutting of sanjis intro. i dont give a shit about if don krieg appears or not i need to see this guy fuckin #feed the hand thats about to kill him im going to start shaking like a dog. #im almost madder krieg appeared for just a little id rather have that time be used for. anything else really. #like have one of arlongs guys starved half to death when they get to arlong park!or idk anything! no gin appears look its gin! you know him #sanji doesnt even get to beat the shit out of a shitty guest. like i guess he does a little but it feels so blink and you miss it #+the first like two eps were good!! buggys great hes scary and weird and fun. i dont mind that he sticks around longer in theory #but the way he is comedic relief instead of basically every character having funny bits is like. ahghhhgggg. its a symptom of this really #mean and edgy feeling the whole thing has. like the removal of people missing usopps pirate calling :( and how cocoyashi didnt know #nami was working to help them. like p. please. can we have caring and bonds in this world?? trust and love??? #anyway. sorry for having expectations of a netflix show im so close to putting this into a more proper form rather than tags. just to get i #all out of my system cause fuck man. #anyway solid 7/10 not as bad as it couldve been
