#he’s done it quite a few times

[mokutone]

i wanted to see what a piece would look like if i finished it in my three main mediums, pencil, ink, and watercolor (+colored pencils) >:*)

#my art #naruto #yamato #yamato tenzo #tenzō #kakashi #kakayama #image desc in alt text #okay now to talk shop. SO. i did these in the order theyre presented #which means that the pencil was done first #and by the time i got to the watercolor id drawn this same picture quite a few times #so if the quality seems to improve thats more than likely a matter of repetition and the benefit of past foresight or whatever #like yamatos shin is too small in the first picture. #and i noticeably lengthened it in following pictures. i also shortened kakashis thigh a little bit #yamatos torso looks really long but thats partially because he's slid back a little bit—his flack jacket is up high and you can see #it gapping at his shoulder #but ultimately that doesnt make the anatomical weirdness completely forgiveable so if i drew this again id do it differently probably #THAT SAID IM STILL SOOOO HAPPY WITH HOW THESE TURNED OUT #drawing the same picture over and over and over again? kind of great actually. i recommend it. #if you want to try doing this and you dont have a lightbox (u dont rlly need one) just like. take one drawing you like #and a blank sheet of paper #and tape it to a window thats getting a LOT of light #and then trace ur old drawing's bare bones (the forms. u know) #and then once you have that down. draw on top of it. or use new materials #it allows you to preserve ur previous drawing also which is great #once i was doing a commission and i realized i got the room i was drawing the characters in backwards #so i just. turned the paper around. put it against the morning window. and traced the now-mirrored image onto a new sheet of paper. #saved SO MUCH TIME LMFAO #the paper on the last picture is different and more yellow in tone so thats why the color is weird there ajxjskhfjahx #anyway happy testostone tuesday to all who celebrate 💚 love you

It's been a really busy week so I'm just going to indulge myself and talk about exactly what I'd love to be doing rn with CEO!Bucky

When I imagine CEO scenarios though, I don't think of the reader as his assistant or an intern. Maybe the CEO and his comms director. Someone he considers an equal because I think that's a hell of a lot more sexy and still has a power imbalance 🥵

He knows you're incredibly capable. He knows you've got more drive than anyone else in the company. He knows you've spent years pushing yourself to get to where you are and you're determined to keep climbing.

But at the same time; it's nice to get a break from that too. Sometimes it's nice to just be tossed around and given orders. You get to switch your brain off and give in to whatever feels good.

And that's how you found your knees hitting the plush grey carpet of the CEO's office on a Friday afternoon.

"Good girl. So fucking pretty." Bucky's hand on your chin directs your face upwards. He's continuing the task you started a few minutes prior; stroking his own cock at a leisurely place and enjoying the sight of you in front of him with your blouse missing the top few buttons.

There's nothing else you'd rather be doing right now. There's no other release that lets you unwind like this. You don't have to think about anything other than the glossy bead of precum gathering on the tip of your boss' dick and the way that even the sight of it makes your mouth water.

His other hand is still holding your chin but you don't want to just watch when you can do so much more than that. You lean over, taking the head of his cock in your mouth, flicking your tongue over the very tip to lap up the precum you've been craving.

Your hand replaces his, jerking his length slowly with a measured pressure while your tongue swirls, keenly licking away any fresh evidence of his arousal.

"Fuck." He groans, melting into your eagerness. He's had a long week too. You know he needs this as much as you do but he's just as respectful as ever, conscious not to press himself into your waiting mouth.

"I bet you're wet already, aren't you? You look like such a sweetheart. No one would ever guess that you get off on sucking my cock. I bet everyone thinks you're so innocent but they don't get to feel the way you drip down your own thighs after you swallow my cum." You imagine that mouth of his has got him in plenty of trouble over the years but fuck, you love it. You swear he could probably get you off just by talking to you.

You hum happily, taking as much of his length into your mouth as you can manage, wincing slightly the first time his tip nudges the back of your throat. Your flat tongue rolls against the underside of his length, your hand cupping his balls and you feel his palm settle on the back of his head.

"You're so fucking keen." His blunt fingernails scratch gently against the nape of your neck and it feels like such a tender gesture. You get to be unashamed of how keen you are with him. There's no embarrassment or reservation. You don't have to hold yourself back to save face and it's refreshing to want someone this much.

You head bobs on his length, your lips forming a perfect tight ring and every now and again, you're rewarded with the sharpness of some fresh precum smeared onto your tongue.

"You should slow down, sweetheart. I don't want to finish yet." His voice is a little strained and it's beautiful. Now you're torn though. You don't want this to end but you're desperate to feel hot ropes of his cum splash over your waiting tongue and across your face.

Somewhat selfishly, you do as you're told. Your body reminds you of your own desperation and you don't want to ruin your chances of getting bent over that desk.

#becca writes spice #becca's thots #ceo!bucky #dom!bucky #I survived the big scary thing I had to do this week besties #I'm told my speech had a few people teary eyed #big win #and I quite like the house I went to view this week #plenty of potential #gonna put an offer in if dad thinks it looks okay #I'm getting my new glasses tomorrow too #and I'm really excited to get my hair done #I'm so over the pink rn #I'm sick of looking at it #but I'm booked in to do some recording on Friday and I thought I'd have to cancel my hair appointment on Friday afternoon #which sucks because my hairdresser is always booked a month out #but I got talking to the videographer last Friday night and I was joking that the time he'd set for filming was so inconvenient #but he's fine with setting a time on Friday evening after my hair cut so I wouldn't have to reschedule my appointment #AND my hair would look nice for the video #I just thought it was really sweet #he calls me 'one take becca' because it takes him longer to set up than it takes me to get my pieces recorded #legend

#em draws stuff #flintlock fortress #team fortress 2 #I have never drawn quite like this before and I do not know if I can make it happen again #sometimes the drawing just Takes Me and then it's hour upon hour of scribblescrabble even if I have other stuff I ought to do #(and boy do I ever have other stuff I ought to have done...) #anyway! I'd been wanting to draw this fellow flintlock-ified for some time and I'm quite pleased with how he turned out #thought he was off-model but the second person I showed the drawing to guessed it instantly. and then I perished. but it was worth it. #every color in this image is picked from an n.c. wyeth painting! I gathered up a few with the right vibe and it worked splendidly! #although in the end the style isn't very wyeth-y and I can't figure out who it is that I'm getting reminded of instead #edited to add: OH I THINK IT'S DAN SCHKADE'S ART THAT THIS LOOKS LIKE. this is MOST WONDERFUL.

these tags on the picture of my photo op have been killing me since i saw it

#well he went to the side to do a sideways hug thing but i stood in front of him a little #and asked can you put your arms around my shoulders #and i think he’s done that quite a few times before. because that’s how i got the idea #and he understood the assignment as they say

Guys. I don’t do book recs, or at least I rarely do, but Frankenstein In Baghdad by Ahmed Sadaawi really is an incredible book. I got my copy at a charity shop but you can get it online — it’s £8 on Amazon though definitely check other sites too.

Without spoiling it, the setting is a post-American invasion of Iraq and the local junk dealer collects body parts from explosions in the area, stitching them together in order to give them a proper burial and he calls it the Whatsitsname. The completed body of the Whatsitsname is then possessed by a hotel security guard who died in the latest explosion and is looking for his body. Unexplainable murders then begin happening in Baghdad.

It does carry over a lot of the plots and characters from the original novel (the blind man is a half-blind old Catholic woman waiting for her long-dead son to return home, Frankenstein isn’t a med student but a renowned liar, the Creature is a murderer/vigilante, etc). But the setting and time period also add to the story — we more or less stay in the same area throughout the novel. The horror is tangible, the characters are so human it hurts, the prose is like silk it’s so beautifully written. It’s themes of justice, humanity, religion, status, power and destiny are so well done.

(At first I thought the sheer amount of characters would get difficult to remember but the author does such a good job of setting them up and giving them distinct characterisation that it never became a problem for me.)

#with the rise in popularity of Dracula I thought I’d throw out another gothic novel retelling #obviously there’s some pretty heavy stuff in there given the time and setting #but it was so good #I wanna see what else Sadaawi has done - even though I read the English translation the narration was beautiful #ik it’s been translated into quite a few languages too #book recommendations #Frankenstein in Baghdad #also having it set in Bataween was quite funny/well choiced. it literally means ‘bit’ from the extensive quick google search I did on it #coz. coz he’s made of bits. get it.

thinkin bout how horrifyingly competitive toshinori was during his time at ua, specifically, the sports festival — but, also thinkin bout, the legacy he left behind there. why, whenever ua is brought up, the first thing mentioned is always 'all might's alma mater'. 'cause you gotta remember, 30-ish years ago, quirks were a lot different then what we see in the series now. they weren't so common, they weren't so COMPLEX — and, as we know from the description given to us in canon, not everyone's bodies could even handle one. it took time, generations to build enough physical strength and resistance to even properly wield the most "basic" of quirks. because of this, i wouldn't doubt if a vast majority of the minority that were born with quirks back then only possessed a FRACTION of the power the most recent generation has obtained. and i mention this because, if you keep that in perspective when you look at a quirk such as ONE FOR ALL, and you put that absolutely massive power into someone's hands that knows how to use it such as toshinori, i'm sure he was looked at as a god in those hallways.

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #where was i going with this..... #idk i just had the thought of enji going to ua and like #getting pissed off any time he saw TOSHINORI YAGI up on a leaderboard for whatever exercise or practice they were running LMAO #not that he would make the toshi = all might connection #but just having to see that name EVERYWHERE and not being able to top it — #i'm sure over the years as quirks grew stronger in general his name got knocked down a few pegs on a few boards #but i'm sure there's still quite a few — #i planned on going in depth about this later but just as a side note: toshi didn't pick up 'all might' until he went to college #over in the states. #same thing with the whole iconic all might look. so there's very few people that actually made the connection between toshi and all might. #mostly ua staff and a few other pro heroes — #like. his graduating class. people he actually went to high school with. #anyway i'm heading off to do laundry. once i start the first load i'll see what i can get done around here !!

Morning update: Got up early, am packed and ready to fly, my professor is letting me submit the one paper for both his classes, and I have a nice long stretch now to sit in the library and finish my archaeology essay. So I think we will survive and be fine, and I will probably not be here until I return from India—just putting this so you guys know it all worked out, thanks for bearing with the absolute chaos that was yesterday :')

#and he does it again! area man gets away with making a hash of his finals #no in all honesty thank you guys for liking all my little to-do posts yesterday #i was kind of losing my mind and it did make it feel a bit less aaaaaaaa #now i just have to write in essay and then i can be ferried around in vehicles and turn my brain off yay! #going to sleep for the entire plane ride to qatar i'm so so sleepy and ready to be Done #perce rambles #tbf i feel like i'm always getting away with things i shouldn't but i wrote a banger 25-page essay and put a lot of time into it #and used quite a few things from the other class #so i do think it was justified. i just should have cleared it early so it look less like a measure of desperation #okay with that i'm signing off have a good break guys

#mad cringe 3am rant incoming pls stand by— #…so i found my enstars screenshots from 2018 and i don’t even remember half of them happening h e l p #there’s stuff like spamming for repayment fes event nazuna niichan till i had 0 dia left… #…and making ship birthday board things for the 2019 birthday events. i made leokasa and subahokke ones s o bs #and i think i saw a makoizu ss from the librarian event? the outfit + blushing seaweed head sure looks like it’s from that event #(tfw you’re the only one shipping this problematic ship lmao) #also speaking of enstars hi are there any other hokke recasting rejectors out there👀👀👀 #hokke’s current va has been voicing him for much longer than his previous va ever did and i *still* can’t get used to his ‘new’ voice lmao #i remember benching his 5☆ so fast the moment i heard his ‘new’ voice post-recasting. sad times. initial hokke was my first 5☆ too… #but the most cringe memory i have of enstars is… downloading it thinking it was a haikyuu game bc subaru lowkey looks like hinata. #in my defence i couldn’t read japanese back then ok. i was so confused when they told me to pick an idol unit bc ‘where my volleyboys at???’ #i really should’ve realised something was up when i saw hokke (or as i thought he was back then: haru from the swimming anime) appear smh #it took me like 2 months to get through the tutorial bc i was so confused. 0/10 experience; should’ve quit enstars on the first uninstall #but lmao i still have the og enstars app unupdated on my old phone. it still has the dumb 4th anni thing on the icon. time flies… #and well if you read this for some reason or other… go listen to ‘crush of judgement’ or ‘sei shounen yuugi’👀 they’re the best songs (imo) #also nazuna niichan is the bestest boy and prettiest boy and the cutest boy and have you seen his frozen ice card it’s so cute and aaaaaaa— #also now that that’s done can i talk about my 3.5 year long love live phase— #ok i think i got enough cringe out of my system for now. #tune in in a few hours for (maybe) more cringe tag blubbering about shin jidai this time (provided my dvd comes in today dhl p l s—) #it is suiyoubi my dudes #inedible blubbering

[clanoffelidae]

Always been a little bit confused by the whole ‘our ocs are often inadvertent reflections of our personal traumas haha’ like i mean yeah in a ‘horoscopes are so generic they can apply to anyone’ kind of way

Idk my characters have their own stories

‘Oh so none of your characters are at all personal reflections?’ No, it’s often clear they’re written by a singular person with core values that show up in them too in some ways, but there’s not really any of that ‘oh i struggled with an abusive family growing up and oops all my characters have abusive childhoods’ kind of stuff that I see people talking about a lot

Like I’ve got a couple of characters that are expressions of personal struggles but they’re few in number, I know who they are, and I know this because I designed them that way intentionally, everyone else is doing their own thing man idk

Seeing that topic go around always feels kinda like what being ace feels like in that I can see that there’s something I’m just not getting but everyone says it and I can kind of see how that could happen so I smile and laugh along despite that not really ‘getting the joke’

#like let’s see the untouched are LITERALLY intended to be metaphors for neurodivergency #and auru is an rp character who has mental health struggles as one of his defining characteristics #and has endeared himself to quite a few people because of it actually lol #he’s the mental health issues projection boy and turns out a lot of people i’ve played with relate 🤣 #but everyone else just kinda. has their own stuff going on. idk. #so basically i have one projection character and then a group of characters #that are INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED to be metaphors for neurodivergency #haha eldritch horrors being baffled by our world and not getting things that seem obvious to us #and so being called monsters because its OBVIOUS so they MUST know what theyre doing #which means they MUST be doing it INTENTIONALLY so they MUST be TRYING to hurt people #meanwhile the untouched have absolutely no idea what’s going on because no. no it’s not obvious. not to them. #they’re beings that exist outside of time they dont have an intrinsic understanding of what things are ‘right and wrong’ by us #and when they say theyre confused and don’t understand everyone just gets angrier at them and insists theyre lying and they MUST be #doing it on purpose - and are just trying to be manipulative #and the untouched just keep crying that they don’t understand what theyve done wrong or how to not do it again #and no one will answer them #theyre just deemed monsters #because well #its OBVIOUS - isnt it? #so saying theyre confused must be a lie #and they MUST be doing it on purpose to hurt us #even as they cry and cry that they don’t understand why we’re so angry with them and don’t know what they’ve done wrong #but again they were made that way intentionally lol #everyone else is like ‘oh beni was a feral child who lost his parents when he was young’ #my parents are alive and well and raised me quite caringly thank you lol

historical YA following three teens in 1989 New York amidst the AIDS crisis

a closeted Iranian boy who’s just moved to the city, a young punk activist rebelling against his conservative parents, and his best friend, an aspiring fashion designer

complicated friendships & romance, and revolution

I've watched Robin Hood (2010) on numerous occasions and even commented about Oscar being amazing in it and yet my forgetful ass kept thinking Moon Knight was the first major British accent he's done 🤦‍♀️

#i cant believe i totally forgot about that entire part. ive seen that movie so many times 😭 and he sounds so effing good in it i might add #im laughing at myself rn after watching an interview where he says #'ive actually done an english accent in quite a few movies but i guess nobody knew who i really was so they didnt really care' #oscar isaac #steven grant #moon knight

[heartyearning]

one of the funniest things when you start studying theatre design (at our school anyway) is that u come in and for your first few scenography designs youre like im gonna use screens ,,,,, —and projection.... this is how i’m going to enhance the impact of my performance 🤯🧠💯 & then you go to theatre productions in which they use screens and projection & ur like All My Teachers Were Right This Sucks Severe Ass

#^so says guy who crucially is using screens in his concept rn #but its different bc the screen itself is the medium as opposed to enhancing theatre cause like the thing is #and this sounds fucking pretentious until you actually pay attn to it #but the thing is that when ur trying to balance screen/projection with live action ur projection is going to eat shit absolutely every time #nothing beats the tension of live theatre & if youre attempting to mix it too often it'll end up in comparison #(this is if you use the projection cut n dry i once saw a performance where the projection was done really well actually #but it wasnt so much a balance btwn the two things as it was like. certain scenes were a video the performer just danced along to #and it was more so about his individual experience vs the experience others have that he cant articulate on his own #it was rly fucking good it was called the history of the korean western theatre it was stellar) #but also like the thing i just left was an opera that used screens practically instead of doing anything on the stage #which is SO bewildering to me #there were a few more things wrong with it but the biggest thing to me was like #in these videos they were showing (during the performance of the scenes) it was basically the scene that was playing #except with an attempt at a real costume and somewhat more of an effort when it comes to proxemics #whereas on stage itself it was black clothes (not even interesting shapes) and people talking At each other #which not only does this become a really boring back drop for an even more boring live action part (which is nevertheless still more #compelling than the video) they were also speaking the lines in the videos just with the sound removed #so often it felt like you were watching out of sync videos #and also like even the costumes in the videos were boring as hell bc it was just patterns printed on top of fabric #which can work at times but not like this it was all so .... 2 dimensional but like quite literally #its not even that bad to be honest like ive seen far worse things its just a lot more egregious cause its unreal expensive and also doesnt #even seem to try #(+ im quite sure the director of this opera is my theatre history professor's dad & i am yelling & screaming imagining the family dinners) #(like all the actors were also white & it was the story of the indian queen which is abt mexico & peruvian incas & my prof is like. so #hyper socially aware this wouldnt ever ever ever fly with her #plus she's really creative & we saw a play by her last semester and its night & fucking day love)
