#zuko #zukka #i wanted this to be a guiding hand #encouraging or like he's surprised it's happening but holding sokka's hand comfortingly #but something about the expression and the mouth makes it seem like he doesn't want it or he's afraid #i don't know i'll workshop this #mywips #i also havent read any ba sing se zukka fics but i do wonder how they'd work #like i totally buy that zuko was SO tunnel visioned to the avatar that he literally wouldn't know what sokka looks like #but i don't know how Sokka couldn't Not know who he is #unless maybe they met as blue spirit vigilante and sokka falls for him and this is the unveiling moment and zuko's afraid of his past #but sokka's like it's okay you're changing you've helped people as the blue spirit and i care about you. those feelings are real #even now #and zuko almost decides to change for the better right then but he gets scared and turns back and canon happens idk #mistaking his father's approval for love and his love for sokka as wrong #whatever. idc. something something i just wanted to draw short haired zuko

#the righteous gemstones #keefe chambers #kelvin gemstone #therighteousgemstonesedit #gemcham #my stuff #i'll get back to the massage don't worry #i havent made gifs in years this is fun #theyre In Love theyre going to fulfill their Destiny of Smooching as described by thunderthighs adam devine #keefe has THE cutest smile and i will not hear otherwise #its the nuzzling its the desperation and relief its kelvin looking at jesse and his family after saying he'd die with no one to miss him #its kelvin going to keefe's workshop in the middle of the night trying to track him down after kicking his confession chair #its him seeing keefe after thinking he'd never see him again #its me noticing keefe's hail satan tat and knowing he did that himself in someone's basement #it's the LOVE the love the love the love~*~*~*~*

The art is lovely and now I'm gonna ramble because that's what I do when I care about something.

For the love of women, please PLEASE can fan artists remember to add muscle to their Shadowhunter ladies? I'll commend Bowater for cleverly giving James that sculpted and lean look without making him a beefcake (nothing against beefcakes, I'd love to hug them), but Cordelia is once again suffering from Arms And Shoulders Too Slender It's Hard To Even Imagine Her Picking Up A Sword. There is some there, yes, but artists shouldn't be afraid of giving particularly Female Main Characters weight and toned muscle. Cordelia is supposed to be nearly the same height as James as far as I can remember, and she's curvy, and full, and she wields a sword like it's second nature to her. Please explain why she looks so tiny in James' lap.

Also I'm pretty sure marriage runes are supposed to go over the heart whenever possible (thinking about Will's parabatai rune being over his heart instead -- he didn't get Tessa to draw over the scar, did he??) and... either I'm looking at the picture wrong or James' rune is not over where his heart should be.

For the matter, where are their other runes and scars?? James' Voyance rune isn't even on his hand. And I'm pretty sure he's right handed. I could have that wrong though.

Another thing: no one can ever decide what Cordelia's hair looks like and it's the funniest thing to me. This is what happens when all you do is vaguely say the colour is like fire but also like rose petals but also a flowing river of those things but also is Red (probably for redhead, but then from there I never understand where the rose petal analogy comes from considering the typical rose is a deep bloody colour -- I do acknowledge the existence of those light orange varieties though which might more closely resemble red hair). In the end, I'm glad readers can infer what they want and imagine the characters how they like.

Anyone else think James looks like he's built like a tennis player? Oddly specific, maybe, but it was a thought I had. Mostly the arms and somewhat narrow body.

James' hair is nice, his eyes are an interesting take on gold in the shadows. Bowater managed to also make him look closely related to his father, so bravo for that.

In the end, the focus is obviously on the marriage runes and not other physical aspects outside of it being clear that this is James and Cordelia. Bowater's style is very beautiful and elegant. Love the way fabric and lighting is done too. I'll add also that it is possible to be a smaller person who is slender but still strong so I mean Cordelia's not necessarily done wrong, I just interpret her appearance differently. Obviously, they're both hot and they're both attractive and I have my qualms with the series, chronicles, and author -- the fandom I am so-so on, though I'm still here, aren't I? And I'm taking the time to ramble about my thoughts on a piece of fanart -- but this is good. Gorgeous, even. Both James and Cordelia are beautiful.

#side note: am I the only one who thought cc made a mistake trying to describe james as handsome in cordelia's eyes #as opposed to matthew being the beautiful one #when there has always been a deep and aching strange beauty to james?? #james herondale #cordelia carstairs #vaguely crediting charlie bowater though it isn't like you can't find a dozen more copies of this with the credit #also yes I mercilessly picked this apart because I am still trying to find avenues to express my dissatisfaction with tlh #I search for flaws what else can I say #I am aware of it but it's hard to turn those thoughts processes off #maybe I'll write a post at some point all about the authors I once Loved that I am now deeply critical of #a lot of people would hate me for it but eh #also we all know about the marvelisation of cinema #but is it time to talk about the marvelisation of book series/worlds? #or perhaps it has a better and more book-focused name? the jkr approach? rick riordan's marvel-esque flaw? the sjm plague? the clare affair? #we'll workshop it #maybe it's the curse of middleschool-YA series and the issue of aginh readers in fandoms #and I don't mean this as discriminatory against anyone older in fandom because there is not really a limit nor should there be #for most media #but the issue of when the readers grow up amd authors try to accomodate for that -- not necessarily by making their work more adult -- #but by making MORE because there is also an influx of new fans and they want to stay relevant while retaining the old #it's a whole thing though I'd need to sit down to properly organise my thoughts to talk about it

Ever since I first made Vesta I've only ever drawn her and Zane in memes, but their dynamic allows for some really ominous and dramatic posing opportunities which I now have the ability to actually draw.

#mcd #minecraft diaries #minecraft diaries oc #my art #zane ro'meave #I still have no fucking clue what the hell is going on with my Zane design #six years in and I still don't know how to draw him #If I ever start telling Vesta's story more seriously I'll have to do some serious workshopping

[kens-puku]

Y'all are gonna think I'm so weird.

But I'm running with this idea I've had for a while for my mcl ocs. Well, other than the actual other mcl ocs I've made.

It's part lazy, part bizarre.

Clones.

Yep, clones.

My MCL NG oc is a clone of the original Puku, but different. I haven't figured out the details yet, but it's like what I did with Pukun, Puku's male clone. It has the idea of a type of clone theory idea of nature vs nurture. The DNA and nature of the puku clones is the same, but the nurture is always a bit different depending on circumstances. Puku "prime" is the parent of all the clones made, but Puku "prime" had a different parentage and upbringing than the clones. Not to mention, the events of each mcl game has different outcomes for clone Puku.

This Puku has -teal- hair and is a zoomer, I guess. Raised by Puku "prime" and has the existential grappling of dealing with being a clone in general.

There's... still a lot of ironing out to do. Like... Where does Kentin fit into all this? How should I incorporate the family given to Puku 2.0 in New Generation?

Why am I giving this plot to an MCL OC!??

lol

#my candy love #my candy love new generation #mcl ng #not that it matters at all. i don't believe I'd really write much lore on all this. it's just what my mind thinks of when regarding thispuk #actually I'm leaning more towards Puku 2.0 being raised by the family in universe. but Puku prime is like the creepy person that pops in #from time to time to make sure teal puku is doing alright #all of the pukus are adopted anyway lol #i have to study zoomers so I can know what zoomers are all about #wait... being a zoomer is all about upbringing during a certain time period.. so technically this Puku should be a gen alpha but JUST GO WI #dw guys I'll program this puku with the memories of a gen zoomer #When the teal puku was “born” from the test tube #puku prime put all the things zoomers grew up with on a crt television and had her watch it for a couple years while the body grows rapidly #it's all good fams we got this #teal puku would be like to peers “what do you mean your parents didn't have you watch your memories before they became memories?” #so like... teal puku will be “raised” by puku prime for about 4 years with programming. Then she'll be dropped off at the door step of the #family in NG with the instructions that she needs them to be her new family #yeah it's perfect! #just... so many of those gen z starter packs that I seen around #like minecraff and fortnite and the wii... yeah it's perfect #i need to remember how much aging happens in one year that I must have decided at one point. like a dog. #i think it was 1 year = about 4 years of growth but I can't member rn #but as per usual that growth cycle only goes on until reaching the age of the dna sampled. then it goes back to normal puku dna human growt #so actually 1 year of zoomer childhood programming #wait... the plot holes... are still.. T__T #I'll workshop it.

Look man, I don't think I'll ever write the technicalities and actual details of you know, guidelines and other official documents in the bnha world about the hero profession, but I know without a doubt there are guidelines that the heroes and sidekicks have to follow to keep their licenses and to stay up to date and they have to have those rules and laws and whatever. I know that for my profession, we have the Standards of Practice (SOP) and Standards of Professional Performance (SOPP), which I personally don't enjoy because it's like sixty pages of assessing your competency level of skills that we need to know how to do. I don't like them because the document is so long and I have to read through it for programs I do and also it's just. Important. But it's also a nuisance to read. I'm sure the hero profession has something like that in place and there are probably heroes that absolutely hate those documents and any time they have to look through them for stuff. Personally, I see people like Shouto going like "I don't want to read through all this. Give me the main points. I know how to do this, this, this. I don't know how to do that. Boom, that's it." And then there's people like Izuku that have the whole document memorized and can quote it. And then there's people like Tenya who have it printed in a binder nice and neat, highlighted and with sections and dividers.

#i promise i love what i do for my career #bnha #bnha rambles #i am like Shouto #i don't like these documents #if i know how to do things good for me #if i don't then i'll sign up for webinars and programs this is why they exist #workshops too there's resources and that's where you get your knowledge then you get the hands on expeerience #i have to vent about the nitty gritty details about my job that are so tedious

[only-horse-polls]

How are you doing, horsepoll mod?

I'm doing quite alright!

Things could be better but they could also be a lot lot worse so I won't complain!! :)

#my biggest issue rn is the fact that my GPU driver has starting putting itself in timeout any time I open ANY game #and I'm starting to run out of solutions to try #if I don't find one I'll have to send it to a workshop and gods knows what that will cost

[pushing500]

Wait why are they ALL bisexual? What was happening on that ship?

I have a mod (two mods, actually: Sexuality Traits and Rational Romance 2) that assigns every pawn a sexuality (gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual). I think bisexual is the "default" one.

The majority of my colony is bi. There are only 12 out of 29 colonists who aren't bi, and only 7 of those 12 are straight. The others are gay or asexual.

But yes, there was potential for some wild shenanigans on that ship! Perhaps that's what caused the space battle that destroyed them?

#asks #rimworld #gracie plays #The Animist Alliance #The other rescued survivor Armstrong is asexual #She's the one who decided not to stay (thank-you Armstrong) #I don't know if “sexuality traits” is on the steam workshop anymore #I couldn't see it when I checked #But that's alright #I don't think I'll use it after this run is finished #Rational Romance 2 does the trait thing anyway so I don't need it #thanks for the ask!! #Have a great day!! <3

yesterday i was thinking that if i don't get into any phd program by the end of the year and i switch to focusing on studying oposiciones to work at a museum i will try and learn some catalan to get the c1.

#basically my plan for next year is: if i get into the phd i will be living abroad which is scary but i'll be doing a phd which :) #if i don't. i will try to get into a phd next year but that will become my plan b #my plan a will become studying oposiciones and going to conferences / writing papers / studying languages / anything to engross my cv #i was thinking of also trying to get the official tour guide license so i can work as that in the meantime but for what i saw in madrid #the last call for the exams to get it were in 2017. so that's fun #i'll also want to try another official language exam. probably french cause that's the language i know most after english. #and then. i could also try and get the c1 of catalan cause i don't mind moving to another autonomous community to work in a museum #like i am open to state autonomic and local museums. they just have to be historical / ethnological / archaeological #my dream would actually be to work at centros de interpretación in archaeological sites but i don't know if they fall under the 'museum' #denomintation or if they are another thing i'd had to study for #and a c1 in catalan opens up my possibilities in three new autonomic communities #it's also the cooficial language i know the best. and also valencia (and more specifically alacant province) is like. on my top 3 list of #preferred destinations. cause i know pretty well the province so i think i wouldn't be so anxious moving there #and there's family and friends so i won't feel so alone i think #anyways. this is all hypothetical. but yeah #oh!!! i almost forgot!!! #if all of this happens i also want to try learning pottery ^_^ #there's a pottery workshop next door to my therapist office so i would most likely go there hehe #i'm happy cause i'm excited both to live abroad and do a phd and to stay here and study a bunch of things so. regardless of what happens #these next few months until 2024... next year is garanteed to be better than 2023. for sure

[slavicafire]

they let me stay with him until he fell asleep and now I'm on my way home. I have to wait for them to call me and work in the meantime because I couldn't get a day off

#żmija gada #I don't know how I'll focus on those workshops #and with such an annoying group as well #hate being the facilitator so much

[miss-m-winks]

image descriptions are in the images this time, hopefully it works.

just made this as examples for art commissions, I will be making more examples later. Bust portrait is $45, half body $60, full body $75. Extra characters are another $50 in the full body because this painted style is very very time consuming.

nsfw policy:

Nudity is fine. Explicit sexual content is a nope. Two characters being nude together is also fine, I just don't really want to depict actual sex stuff if I can avoid it.

#art commissions #winks art #commision info #furry art #not my usual art i know lol #i don't have a fursona and I'm not really in the furry community #but they do cool character designs and I gotta expand my skillset to have more opportunities for art commissions #might stick with my normal eye style though tbh #I'm not sure how I feel about the bigger cartoony eyes in this detailed painting style #I'll workshop it

there's a lecture at 9:30 that i'm interested in but i don't want to wake up at 8 😔😔😔

#there's also stuff in the afternoon‚ these aren't my courses it's like‚ psych days at uni‚ second years gather a bunch of researchers and #professors and there are lectures and workshops and i really oughta go to as many as i can just to support this #to support my fellow students' work. and to learn #but. 9:30..... i don't fuck with that.. the topic is addiction and relationships #idk #the afternoon lecture and the roundtable don't sound bad either but the two of them together are too long so i'll only go to one #but there's the workshop the women for women together against violence association is holding #i don't know guys. i cry at everything how would i participate in that idk #oh yeah and i can't do the nane workshop and the lecture both because they're at the same time. it's one or the other

I have just realized a problem if [baby] turns out to be male;

I already have a Scriabin tag

#Spider #And I can't just delete it there's still a lot of backlog over here! #How would I differentiate them uhhhhh #Scriarachne?? I'll workshop it lol #I don't think I've mentioned that I also picked out a name if they're female :D It's still a Vargas reference but it's less obvious lol #And it still fits the spider theme! #Technically it could be a gender-neutral name but I just jdslafd I'd want to name them Scriabin if they're male okay lol #It's Yarn ✨ It's just such a cute name <3 #Plus the thought of introducing little Yarn like ''This is Yarn :)'' ''Oh 'cause of web-spinning! I get it'' ''Yeah :) Just that :)'' lol #I really love both ahhh I don't know which one I want more! #As long as baby keeps living healthfully that's the important thing ♥ #They're so fat right now haha #I feel a little bad since while I was sick I wasn't able to go out and get them crickets ouq #Mealworms aren't bad but they're very fatty and I want to make sure they're getting a good mixed diet #Plus my darklings don't seem particularly keen on having a second generation hmm :| Hopefully soon I haven't actually looked it up #I'm definitely gonna have to go around looking at feeders at the next creepy crawly convetion #I wanna go so baaaaad I wanna tell the tarantula people how baby's doing ahhhhhh #Hopefully soon

I’m like a crow collecting shiny objects, I see enough stuff about a show w/ a pretty artstyle I’m liable to check the plot synopsis on wikipedia (or get a friend rec) and maybe watch a few episodes to see if it’s my jam

#that said the show I picked up is NOT going to be good for one of the few areas I actually have self-esteem issues with BUT #that's okay bc the art style and animation IS very nice although I need the writers to sit through a college creative writing workshop #and get the ''all bc it's for an adult audience doesn't mean gratuitous use of the fuck word will do your writing good bc it won't'' lecture #(listen I know I swear a lot but in my defense I went through college and I don't actually swear hardly ever in my writing) #also gratuitous use of violence and blood should be saved for a specific genre of horror but that's just my two cents of arrogance #anyhow the plot and characters are compelling enough I'll watch the rest of the season before passing final judgment #oracle of lore

[katya-goncharov]

i was sneaking a look at the feedback my seminar leader gave some of the other students and i accidentally clicked on one of them and now the top of the page says the last edit was by me (at 2am) which. so embarrassing!

#i mean it's for workshopping so i'll hear the feedback anyway and we're all supposed to benefit from listening to everyone's feedback #so i don't THINK it's that bad that i looked? and it's genuinely helpful to me to see what feedback everyone gets #but i don't know if i was supposed to look :/
