#i do have a lot of fun painting i just also would like to have free time u know

[smokerswifey]

Guys I had a dream last night where adult Nasiens and Percival leave Brittania after the war against Arthur to settle in a little territory/land like God's Finger .

They get married and have a little girl with dark green hair, the prettiest golden/brown eyes you've ever seen and a smile so bright she could light up the entire room .

She's the absolute love of their life . Percival is ( obviously) a girl dad and let's her messily braid his long hair or paint his face atrociously with makeup . Despite the sparkly mess on his face he'll always gasp in delight when she proudly holds up her rhinestone orned mirror to his face and hug her tightly saying " Thanks kiddo I look beautiful 😊😊 "

He's very obviously lying but the toothy grin abd the hug that he gets from his little girl is worth it .

She's basically a mini Percy but with darker hair and brown eyes .

And Nasiens gosh Nasiens loves their little girl ( I'm using they cause I don't know if in the future he's going to remain a he or a she, so I'm keeping the pronouns neutral for know ) who runs on her wee little legs to hug his knees tightly and say the most adorable things ever like " You're so prettyy Mama/Papa" or " I love you so so much more than the whooooole world " .

And Nasiens eats it allll up, plucking the little girl from the floor to tuck her into their arms and to kiss her fluffy hair adoringly .

She's a very energetic little bean, running and bouncing around at every second . A very curious and sharp kid tooo always asking questions. Like... always 💀.

She's also very good at hand to hand combat, her and Percy roughouse all the time much to Nasiens dismay .

( " PERCY YOU DID NOT JUST DROPKICK OUR DAUGHTER-"

" BUT HONEY SHE ASKED ME TOO TEACH HER !" )

For her magic tho I haven't really figured put what it is and I would really appreciate some ideas :))

As for her race she technically has human/life spirit ??/ giant and fairy blood running through her veins so there are a lot of options for her magic lmao .

Zeldris and Gelda are crazy about her .

Zel actually burst into tears when they announced that they were expecting.

He burst into tears when he heard that she was born .

And he burst into tears when he saw her for the first time .

( he was very embarrassed and forbids everyone from speaking about it but Meliodas heard and calls him crybaby now 💀 )

Anywas he's always asking Persiens to babysit her, like all the fucking time .

P : Dad its been three times in a row, we can find another sitter if ya want ?

Z : Nonsense son * plucks the baby out of Percy's arms and pulls her gently into his * You and Nasiens need some alone time hmm ?

N : Alone time can wait, Zeldris-San we really don't want to bother you-

Z : Bother me ??? * dramatically puts a hand over the baby's ears as is he wanted to shield her from what Nasiens said even tho she can't understand *Bothering me with this angel ?

* gazes into her big eyes adoringly.*

Never .

*looks to the couple*

To be honest I'm doing this more for myself than for you guys lmao, I just want to spend time with my beautiful grandaughter, isn't that right my little monster?

B : *coos happily *

Z : * strokes her cheek softly * You two can go now have fun *he says dismissively and turns around * You want grandpa to read you a story about how he killed a thousand godesses in one day ??

P : Please don't Dad .

Z : *pretends he can't hear* oh son you're too far, love you, have fun, byeee.

He would be the silliest grandpa .

And Gelda, Diane and King would have an amazing relationship with her naturally .

My imaginative juice has ran out for today but please expect ro hear more about Persiens daughter 🥰🥰.

AND COULD Y'ALL PLEASE HELP ME FIND A NAME FOR THIS FRICKIN KID I HAVE NO IDEA 😭😭

alright so i’ve been seeing the watcher posts and gathering my thoughts so i’m gonna put all my watcher stuff in one big post under the cut cause it’s gonna get long and i need to get this out of my head.

i will say 99% of the fandom was expecting a fun, exciting, omg can’t wait for it type of announcement and seeing the title and thumb nail for the first time made me really nervous.

also, side note, why on earth would they choose a thumbnail of the three of them sitting on a couch like that with the title “goodbye youtube”?? just the imagery alone makes you think of the try guys and their now infamous video like why would you want that comparison right out the gate before you even say anything?? super weird choice.

then the video is all nostalgic and wistful, clips of steven’s, ryan’s, and shane’s, pre-buzzfeed youtube videos and i’m thinking “did someone die cause this feels like a video obit” none of this calmed my nerves and made me more anxious about what could be coming. and then we all know what happened next, they announce that they’re paywalling everything yada yada yada

and after seeing everyone else’s takes and the general vibe of the fandom being “fuck watcher” it continues to baffle me why they thought this was gonna go over well. because to me it feels like they went from “yay we have our own youtube channel” to “give us your cash we’re a media empire” and missed A LOT of steps in between.

and i dunno maybe watcher did try to change things and tweak their business model and things weren’t getting better but as a fan and someone who watches a lot of different youtubers you kinda see this one coming. like creators drop little crumbs beforehand to gauge how people will take it or they try weird series/shows that have like 3 episodes to see what their audience is more interested in. there are a signs as a fan you can see but i think one of the reasons this went so badly for watcher is because it was so far out of left field. there was never a hint that the youtube model wasn’t working for them.

but again maybe they did try x, y, and z without it working or being transparent about it and if they were trying things why not lean into that to garner compassion from fans? we all know the youtube algorithm sucks and if they had started the video talking about the things they tried and how nothing was working and how much it sucked to leave youtube i think people would’ve understood. then they could’ve had shane talk about how subscriptions suck and there are too many of them and they tried to find another solution but couldn’t. now not only do i have sympathy for what there going through i had my feelings validated. then they could’ve gone into why this is better and what i’m going to get out of it as a consumer.

like it’s not that hard. but instead the vibe i got from them was a real palpable relief that they were leaving youtube which felt like a slap in the face.

and while i don’t agree with the steven bashing at all i do think it’s a little bit funny that they kinda dug themselves into that hole with their end of the year behind the scenes video they put out last fall. they really painted steven as a genius ceo while ryan and shane are just on screen talent. so while i feel for what steven is going through they kinda put themselves in that position.

all of this to say that it doesn’t feel like they hired anyone to field this idea by or do any kind of market research at all and the vibe that i’ve always kinda gotten from watcher is one where they want to jump over the messiness and growing pains of being a new small business and be established. be this huge force a la dropout/college humor without putting in the time to get there. and i do think watcher showed it’s true colors here where they only think of fans as cash cows they can deposit whenever.

and just the arrogance of thinking their fans will follow them to a subscription and trying to spin it as it being the same thing as leaving buzzfeed drives me up the wall. it’s not the same.

anyway i think that’s it. if i think of anything else ill edit this post ✌️

For everyone who wanted bullfighter Nando when I mentioned it the other day, here you go :D

+ this one I don't feel like coloring yet(imagine he's in Ferrari colors!!!)

#did you know bullfighters dedicate their kill to a friend or member of the public by giving them their hat? #i really wanted to draw silly vettonso where fernando offers seb his hat #seb retires from bullfighting(yeah its an au now) and fernando in his green costume is like; #'here is my hat. now will you come back from retirement? 🥺' #but yeah feel very abnormal abt that ^ and also the thing abt them having someone who helps them get into their costume as a sacred ritual #theres just a lot of thoughts and ideas floating around in my head bcs of it #anyways i liked drawing this but it was very suffering too and took me like 5 hours #its like. you see the intricate embroidery and im like ah! omg! i love painting details!!! #and then remember im not the best w coming up with ideas for the embroidery pattern itself #so pls bear with me 😭😭 mainly i was trying to reference the diamond logo of renault #but most of it kinda just ended up being austrian knots i guess bcs thats what my mind defaults to #i thought the shoulder pad would be the most difficult but that came together the easiest and made the rest actually work in my head #aaahhh also im surprised w the angle of his face! im usually not good at side profiles as well as tilted down heads #but i think he looks pretty good honestly??? #also w the sketch i just wanted to post it bcs i liked his face okay 😭😭😭 #i wanted to paint it too but I realized im so naive thinking i could paint two of these horrifically detailed things in one session #but his face 🥹🥹 i like it!!! theres some renault era pic of him i really like where hes sun drenched and angry looking #^ and i think i captured the vibe well so!!!!! #well anyways mayhe ill draw more of this. it was fun but also like sucked my life force out bcs it kept going from easy to 'I CANT DO THIS' #the pictures of matadors are just...insane to me. tiny waist fat ass flamboyant costume. im dead 🫠 #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #catie.art. #fa14 #matador au

actually my new year’s resolutions are

get better at geography

more consistently take my irish and spanish lessons

do more traditional art

learn embroidery

get a jean jacket to add patches and embroidery to

make at least one shirt from scratch

#tá brón ó chroí orm nana 😭 #but seriously i want to be able to look at any given point on a map and be able to name every country #customizing clothes in general is also basically on this list. i routinely fix hems on stuff which is super nice #but i wanna do better alterations overall alongside adding things like patches and embroidery to everything #getting a sewing machine instead of having to do everything by hand would also be nice but. space and money LOL #with traditional art i wanna bust out my inks graphite charcoal and paint again. colored pencils. markers. #i used to do a lot of “draw in sharpie to force yourself to not constantly adjust stuff and just embrace messiness” practice i want to do #that again too. ya boy Needs to fill up some sketchbooks!! i will have fun and try new things! i will!!

always think its funny when people are into a particular rpf ship but get antagonistic/hostile/morally superior towards other rpf ships like girl we are all in the same house here

#idk i havent cared about petekey in many years but i'm always blindsided when i see how hostile ppl are about it #like i didnt know it was that big of a deal??? #like if ppl think RPF Is Bad thats one thing but when its ppl who like other ships its like. idk #i have seen ppl say that a lot of the fans are mcr fans who dont care about pete which #is funnie to ME bc when i was into them i didnt know SHIT about mcr like i listened to them a Little but hadnt gotten super into them yet #like i was not there for mikey lmao #and then also ppl being annoyed when ppl say every fob song is about mikey which l ike #idk man thats one of those things where i'm like i thought we were doing a bit??? #like OBVIOUSLY its not literally true but number one its fun to read into things #and number two it is a comedic exaggeration #like yeah fourth of july was something i always took that way but that was probably the alst one you know #anyway #this was something when i was into one direction too it would always be like dont even THINK about larry around me #anyway here is my self insert fic and my hitch truther tag or whatever #really painting a target on my back tonite i just genuinely find this a wild experience #as someone who is not Invested in these things anymore but was VERY into reading the lore back in the day #like im not into ~bandom~ enough at all anymore to be aware of the most up to date discourse so its always jarring when i see it #r.txt

[punkpresentmic]

i have an absolutely evil voice in my head every time i consider fixing my mic wig telling me to try making a new, improved 1 w the knowledge i learned last time, ignoring the fact that the most important lesson learned was that making it fucking sucked skdksk

#thoughts.c #halloween approacheth & well…… #i have some ideas #the gf & i are talking about actually going places as rocky horror characters but #mic awaits #& i would like to AT LEAST fix the hairline we ran out of time to do #anyway making the mic wig was retrospectively a v fun creative endeavor but it was just So time consuming & full of trial & error akskskak #& also i was making it during the school year so we were working on it at v weird times akdksksm #spray painting in my building’s parking lot at midnight #trying to go for a late night Walmart run for modpodge & learning that way that they’re not open 24/7 anymore #also learning that modpodge is NOT!!! the answer. my old friend the hot glue gun is #cosplay.c

[skitskatdacat63]

I have a problem.

Further evidence:

#me: I avoid drawing racesuits bcs they're too complicated and I don't really know how to draw them. #Also me: constantly draws one of the most overcomplicated designs ever #and i also am constantly in the depths of researching 18th century clothing #atp maybe i just have zero interest in race suits #(tbf it's honestly less the level of detail. but more all the sponsor names and lack of freedom in drawing them) #(yknow one solid design that you cant really deviate from. i dont have a lot of interest in drawing that type of thing) #(but i will do it for chibis! much more simple) #also there was chibis ive drawn as well but they dont fit #ive mostly draw peak era vettonso cause duh #but ig id really like to draw matador versions of all their eras i think that would be a lot of fun #its fun to put these in a gif together #see how ive evolved at both drawing matadors but also painting #but god i still think i really like that renault one the best...... #its just tough to beat. and its crazy cause i went into that w just. zero experience #and ive leveled up since then but it has this energy i enjoy so much and i just rly love how i drew his face ah... #but do tell me if you so wish which one you like best?? #catie.rambling.txt #matador au #catie.art.

[arrowpunk]

It is so Incredibly freeing to let myself draw whatever the fuck I want to draw without letting other people's expectations/desires/standards hold me back, like gosh I'm having so much more fun with it than I used to

#ramblings of an arrow #like it does kinda suck because I can't show a lot of the new stuff I'm drawing to my mom #who is wonderfully supportive of my art career #but also would blanch at seeing the art of a tattooed man with painted nails in a crop top who's definitely wearing some makeup #so my mom just gets to think I draw less than I do #but it's so FUN to draw these things because I know there's nothing morally wrong with them #and it's really freeing to let myself be 'scandalous' even though it's not actually scandalous purity culture just sucks #I like my art more #and I'm happier and more satisfied with my art #because I'm not trying to sanitize it for other people #not trying to sanitize it for my parents #not trying to sanitize it for the old cult #it's fantastic #gosh I remember the first time I drew Astro flipping the bird #and the cult found out about it and made a whole Thing out of it #and I like specifically made a separate version without that so I could post it online w/o being told off #like holy shit that's not even that bad #anyways I'm having fun with art now lol

[arolesbianism]

I should rly play portal, but at the same time I find it kind of funny to have it continue to exist as that one game I'd fuck around with the physics in as a lil kid instead of actually doing the puzzles in my memories especially since I'm sure I'd have rly liked glados if I actually bothered to actually progress in the video game I was playing

#rat rambles #also Im just not in the market for a new interest rn but its still on the to play list #theres a lot of games I played as a kid that I never actually progressed in much due to me just fucking around instead #tbf I still kind of do that sometimes but thats mostly just when Im talking to ppl #12 year old me may have played video games very differently from current me #but I still spend too much time painting ever last spec of lobbies in splatoon #also Ive always been one to set arbitrary callanges for myself in video games I just would do it all post game as a kid #like Id breed new pokemon and go through each route with them in order #nowadays I just do the normal thing and start a new game to do challenges #tbf I didn't know how to restart pokemon games as a kid #if I did I would have actually played pokemon black instead of just sitting there with my hacked copy like ok guess Ill make my own fun #the first pokemon game I actually played fully was soul silver oddly enough #I also spent a lot of time fucking about in loz windwaker and twilight princess not actually progressing the plot #tbf I did actually try with those two I was just a kind of dumb kid who didnt know where to go to progress the story #although tbf part 2 I have always struggled with reading and focus and memory shit so I assume I just wasnt reading the dialogue well #even tho I liked reading books as a kid Id still skip and skim through most of the books a read since it was so hard to read for me #it still is to be clear but yknow #theres a chance I might be dyslexic but Im just gonna blame my adhd for now and call it good

[catmask]

tbh when i hear some people talk about 'breaking cycles of abuse', it becomes clear pretty quickly who has come to understand that phrase to mean 'since i was a victim of abuse/neglect by my parents/caretaker/s i will do everything to be nothing like them' and that is all. its not a completely flawed way of thinking either - something that hurt you would very likely hurt someone else; through empathy we learn to understand not to hurt others the way we were hurt too.

but what 'breaking cycles' looks like is more complicated than just not being your parents/caretakers - it's about recognizing how the things that happened to you changed you and how you can heal so you don't hurt someone else in turn. the survival skills you learned in an unhealthy enviroment often translate to poor if not unhealthy interpersonal skills in an enviroment where things ARE safe.

its a difficult pill to swallow for a lot of survivors of abuse (trust me, i know) because we have a tendency to simply want our pain to be recognized. by painting yourself as "absolutely nothing like my abuser" you can abstain from recognizing your own harmful tendencies and live comfortably in the role of victim hood for the rest of your life. it can be tempting to do this especially when so many people will do their best to deny what you experienced - almost like leaning into a stuck door that just won't budge.

the problem with this is if you never recognize that being mistreated made it so you LACK a lot of what other people learned from a loving enviroment, you can hurt people pretty badly even when doing your best just not to replicate what your parents/caretakers got wrong.

this also hurts for victims because, when it comes down to it - it's not FAIR. you were hurt for no reason, and most of us will never hear an apology or even admittance from the person who did it - so why do YOU have to change? why do YOU, the person hurt unjustly, have to put in the work?

and i mean. that's what breaking a cycle is. it means pushing against what's fair and comfortable deliberately so that you can stop something that's been repeating. it's work. its not just recognition of pain, it's the purposeful healing and treatment of it. but thats scary, and it's not fun, so a lot of people fall right back into it. its a lot easier said than done.
