#i got a character i've been waiting for

[binah-beloved]

if you could leave the facility, Binah would like to go for walks when it snows. it's cold and white and utterly silent, her cloak standing out like a drop of ink against the icy landscape. she doesn't seem chilly- she never does- merely holding your hand as her breath comes out in small puffs. perhaps you have cuts, tiny slivers from hours of work, and she simply watches when a drop of ruby-red blood falls and dots the snow before raising your hand to her mouth and lightly kissing the wound

#project moon #lobotomy corporation #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #done with exams finally #thank goodness #things can go back to normal now #i was playing a different game today #very fun #i got a character i've been waiting for #i wish it snowed more #the imagery of white snow and dark skeletal trees makes me think of binah

[chalkrub]

hello everyone sorry for not posting much recently but I’m once again art fighting…..choosing between vampires and werewolves is a very hard decision for me so I haven’t picked a team yet. i might just let random chance decide for me

my artfight is also chalkrub, or alternatively you can click HERE……I can’t be bothered to make one of those fancy information sheets everyone else makes but I attack YOU and I attack indiscriminately. above, you can see some of my guys that you can attack if you so desire

i'm soooo very excited!! <:^) feel free to drop your art fight usernames in the reblogs/comments/etc and I'll check em out and maybe bookmark some characters

#my art #artfight #i'll be tagging all my art fight art but beware it will be all i post for at least a month #i'm soooo buzzing fr fr i've been waiting for this......i've got so many people i wanna attack #is it a coincidence that I made my werewolf vampire characters the same year they made the theme vampires vs werewolves...? #yes. and I have no point to make so I'll leave it at that

nico robin and her smile

hiiii ok has anyone else ever thought about the person robin was before joining the straw hats? like who she was when she was at her worst? because i do. a lot. so go along with me here

from her introduction, robin has this very small smile that feels cunning and is seemingly meant to taunt luffy and co. it creates a sense that there's a canyon's depth of difference in power between her and the others.

robin's is a subtle character in her expressions compared to most other major characters in the series. and i think it fits her background of having to work in subterfuge. (???)

she maintains this expression throughout multiple scenes. the same shape of her smile that is so exact that it has to be with intention. this is the face of ms. all sunday. this is the person robin had to be in order to survive.

and yet each one still has it's differences and that's robin being not so perfect at hiding her true feelings (which btw i love that robin will always be exactly who she is). she's stressed or even strained at times. while also feeling perfectly at ease, but still performing a role.

i think for the most part. robin didn't mind what she had to do or who she had to be. because she's pragmatic, but she was definitely bothered by vivi and the strawhats. they're the ones who cause robin to show anything other than that static smile. notably when she is faced with vivi and luffy's determination.

and i've rambled about it once before robin is a kind woman at heart and who has a soft spot for the crew + vivi. their earnestness breaks through her own desire/need to not care for the effect her actions have on the lives of others.

notably the only times robin does seem to genuinely smile is in small sudden outbursts around luffy when something he does makes her laugh.

and throughout the rest of the alabasta arc. robin's clearly uncomfortable with facing the real destruction of alabasta at crocodile and her hands. later revealing that she never planned on helping him obtain the poseidon weapon. she never once smiles, instead dropping everything to focus on getting to the poneglyph.

after that though? she does her miss all sunday smile one last time when she asks luffy to join his crew. it's a famous panel, we all know it, we all love it.

the longer robin was with the straw hats. the more she began to genuinely smile. it's well established that being on the crew brought back joy and laughter into robin's life, that being with them gave her a reason to live again. but it was a slow start until we got to see this robin more often and more freely who is cheered by everyone's bright youth and excitement in being alive in a ways that she never had been allowed.

#one piece #nico robin #i've been working on this one slowly but surely #please i hope this makes sense and i'm not like alone here #using inconsistent sources because i'm not the biggest fan of viz's translation but sometimes have to read it #i haven't read onigashima yet so i can't talk about it with surety just yet but robin also has the habit of using accessories to denote whe #she isn't being herself. #it's why robin stopped wearing the cowboy hats post w7/enies lobby. despite the fact that the she looked so good in it. #i think in onigashima (and vaugely post-ts when she's in hiding) it was her sunglasses btw #i thought this would be longer tbh and it could be but i got impatient and didn't want to wait til later #the full better version is the version of this is made as a total nico robin character study that tracks from her character intro to now

alrighty I'm done reblogging old asks 👍 and before I sleep, have a little preview of the art I mentioned being busy with:

I am finally getting to work on swapfell mh :]

#holoskart rambles #I've got the main cast fully designed now although the concepts are way too small and messy to post #but there will be no waiting months/years between sets of character sheets. you're getting All Of Them #plus a bigger piece of the cast all together which is what the above sketch is from #so. I hope you can understand why it needs time to cook ahah #but I've been sat on these ideas for so long and I'm looking forward to putting them out there :>

can someone tell me why im being abnormal about a character i've barely touched the content of. like yay yippie i watched like 20 hours of you. there's fucking 80 years of content get me OUT OF HERE?

#yeah this is about nightwing. yes im a freak about him no i don't do well with comics #shout out to duke thomas in the we are robin comic i've had in my browser tabs for three weeks now #sorry king. #i mean i guess it makes sense because theres So many characters in media that you can't even get 20 hours out of . but. BUT ITS NOT FAIR. #i want to read comics so bad. i try to. i have. i've started several #blue beetle 2009 nightwing 2016... superman & batman world's finest #i was able to finish teen titans world's finest but that was only. like. six issues #comics as a medium just has this thing where. you're dropped in and it kinda expects you to know what's happening #and leaves you feeling like you started on the wrong page. like blue beetle. loved you but man that was not the greatest first comic to rea #wait i forgot i read hawkeye 2011(?) and that also had the same issue. but more so each installment like #felt like it was starting on a point AFTER something happened like i was meant to be reading another comic before i got to that issue. #i got. like. idk 18? 19? comics into that one. and 12 into nightwing. nightwing wasn't as bad but it just. gah. like several-issue long #stories carried across batman and nightwing and its like.OUGH. #i know im mutuals with a comic person. hi. i know you're cringing. #there are so many good characters to come out of comics. its just SO HARD to get into. #rn i dont have an excuse with We Are Robin. just that i've been infected with needing to play the sims for 8 hours a day. #mika-posts

I think the way the Lady and the Thin Man became a lot more enjoyable to me as a duo when I stopped believing Six to be the Lady needs to be studied in a lab

#carols.txt #the context is that i always disliked every lady pairing since when i was young #esp because everyone was trying to give her a husband when she frankly never needed one at all #and it seemed detrimental to her character ever to little media illiterate carols #but i've been in fandoms a long time so when ln 2 came out i kinda expected them to be and #i didnt like it but i guess it was... fine for the shits and giggles #then i started doing the digging in the games myself and I was like 《wait. WAIT》 #listen i love when two characters are the sides of a coin. i love when theres complexity that could be explored #《what complexity》 the one i made up in my mind /j #i think that they are VERY interesting if you read them separately but reading them in context together is... ough. OUGHHHHHB #this is how they got the pass from me. like OK ................ ok old people i'll let you out of the asylum just this once #they're both vile in a way that is so different and tied into each other's narrative in a way that is so visceral #i need to actually write out why because you will be looking at my insane tags and not understanding I PROMISE YOU I HAVE MY REASONS #I PROMISE

#caluuart #genshin impact #genshin #art #arlecchino #god she's just so. cool. pretty. ethereal. badass. #also I LOVE HER STORY QUEST SO MUCH!! I think it's definitely one of the best story quests in the game tbh. #wait uh arlecchino story quest spoilers below: #for one; the quest really gives even more depth to arlecchino's character. like yeah the whole thing is well. messed up. #it's an orphanage that raises orphans to be child soldiers after all.

It's more.... humane? nicer? for the fatui anyway #which does bring me to the next thing. you know how arlecchino's like “if you're gonna leave the HotH you need to fight for it with ur life #I genuinely think that she's gonna just. straight up kill them. although it's not unlikely at all it turns out that (most of the time?) she #-just gives them a one trip to memory loss and set them free. which i do know it's kinda like death in genshin's lore but still. #I just find that pretty interesting. #also the cutscene where clervie says goodbye n stuff.

today i woke up and chose art

this doodle is basically what i think would happen if the potara fused the outfits like they're supposed to, ain't no way Vegito's not getting Vegeta's armor if he fused while wearing it

why the royal insignia if Vegeta's armor doesn't have it anymore? because it makes sense to me that the Prince of All Saiyans has his mark of royalty despite everything that's happened to him in his life

i think Vegeta would care enough to keep his people's culture alive as long as he can, even going as far as letting Bulma document all of it (or at least, all the stuff he can remember; especially all the stuff regarding royalty); Bulma eventually taking it upon herself to recreate the royal emblem from scratch based on Vegeta's descriptions because of how much of a Big Deal it used to be

tangent aside, it took a while to figure out the colors on the boots, Goku and Vegeta's outfits are harder to fuse together than i thought they'd be (except the gloves and wristbands, that was the easiest part)

i also felt like making an alt color version, so here's that

#goldic's drawings #vegito #goldic rambles #GSU Vegito #Goldic's Shitpost Universe #ok so for context on the tags: i've been writing Stuff and Things in my notepad for a while now for a Dragon Ball AU #and i've been calling it the GSU since the 'AU' is more of an 'I do what I want because I like it' kind of universe #there's a lot of stuff I wanna draw for the GSU the hard part is finding a starting point #so for now i'm just waiting until I figure out the timeline of events for the universe because It Matters to Me #and because it'll be easier to explain things in-universe through the characters if I already know how it all works #all the characters have slightly different designs where applicable for it too so that You Know it's the GSU #Vegito's got multiple outfits but the alt colored one you see in this post is his 'post-fusion' outfit for the GSU #for the Goku Black Arc specifically; basically this is what he'll be wearing right after he fuses because Yes #might make some minor tweaks to the colors later but you get the idea

was at my friend's karaoke party and was amusing myself by going "ahhh this is kuwagami" at as many songs as possible, and then we get to one song and i realise. this is kuwagami. as in, i've seen this music video before, but only in the context of kuwagami. anyway the art in question is this and this, and the music video is this. so glad to finally have context for this artwork lol even if it's by accident

#jitxt #it's funny. to me! #me: kuwagami? wait. WAIT. WAIT A SECOND I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE #thankfully i didn't have to dig through my bookmarks for long to find those tweets #everyone say thank you twitter kuwagami artist #that last one of kuwana looking annoyed asf might be one of my favourite kuwanas ever because his expression is just so fucking good #honestly intrigued by the song choice and character allocation #<- i hope that doesn't sound like shade because it's not and i love this art. i just wonder what their reasoning is #the mv is probably explanation enough for the song choice. like. what if i loved you and got on your nerves? it checks out #yagami jungkook though like.... hmmmmmm #presumably because he's the one doing the chasing (after kuwana) and perhaps because of uhhhhhh leather jacket wearing #yagami would not have been my choice as to which one of them fakes their own death but perhaps we permit him a little silly. it's funny #kuwagamis weigh in. perhaps. idk it's not important but yknow i like hearing kuwagami opinions #hi guys did you know that i loooooooove talking

[endlesslytired]

So WOW. So much. So so much. Mei ritual accidentally went overdrive.

Bonus: That scene.

#needless to say a lot happened in that stream that made my brain fry #I've been waiting for Acheron since the reveal and my god she's even more than i expected back then #was tempted by black swan and yes i will get her next time #(i say that about many characters. i have a lot of passes saved up rn but im planning on getting robin if things work out but maybe!) #i haven't included it but i did talk about how much i like aventurine. my second fav hoyo guy #unfortunately i wasn't able to process a lot of what was talked about him because of what preceded it #but i got myself together when they spoke about his boss fight and im HYPE #gallagher is also neat. he's kinda a less emo batman diluc #another male healer! #overall im hype as hell and cannot wait #honkai star rail #hsr acheron #hsr black swan

the way i think moving blogs might help with my enthusiasm on here but also not knowing if it would actually help....

#that would be truly wonderful ( ooc. ) #( tbd. ) #negative cw #i also honestly hate moving blogs.... #ugh i miss writing on here and my other blogs #but something just?? hasn't been feeling right?? kinda like #my writing or characters aren't engaging enough bc they tend to be goody two shoes ( which is my comfort ngl ) #but i guess...i just feel off in general? i miss some of my writing partners #and that's not anyone's fault!! life happens and motivations change....i wish mine will too :/ and i don't mind waiting #i thought renovating might help but i can't help but think it wasn't as effective :/ #i also will admit this is partially ( okay entirely ) my fault i know i haven't bee active on reaching out and talking to ppl #and i haven't been nearly as active on here as i've wanted to #if you got to the end of this thank you for reading #just so you know i'm already very satisfied with my current set of partners and active plots and want to expand to new ppl too #i will be gone for most of this weekend so i won't be able to write much/talk with ppl on discord #so have a good weekend in the meanwhile everyone

Listening to the original cast recording and watching some pro-shoots of Cabaret and Fräulein Schneider is just everything? She sings a whole song to Cliff about how she's weathered everything she's lost in her life by settling for what she still has, and then two seconds later the Jewish guy next store offers her fruit and a little schnapps and Cliff watches her absolutely melt over it. Clings to outdated ideas of propriety in relationships even when it's heavily implied she had a long-term sexual relationship with a man outside of wedlock. Has a mean and hypocritical streak, particularly with Fräulein Kost. Considers herself the most practical person she knows but takes a total of thirty seconds to agree to marry Herr Schultz when he spontaneously proposes. And a good Schneider will both look at and sing to Schultz like he's the fucking sun.

And you want to hate her for ending the engagement after the brick goes through Schultz's window, but you just can't. She represents all of the people who hated the Nazis but stood by and did nothing, who abandoned the Jews in their time of great need, but how can you resent her for choosing the only way she knows how to survive? You die for love, you're still dead. And she gets the best song in the show, the Brechtian gut-punch of What would you do? that stands in front of the audience and asks them if they really would make a different choice.

You may come to Cabaret for the Emcee or Sally Bowles, but in a good production? You leave with Fräulein Schneider.

#cabaret #absolute character of all time! #and of course having THE Lotte Lenya originate her #who got out of Nazi Germany with her Jewish on/off husband Kurt Weill by the skin of her teeth #who was Weill's muse and a Brechtian herself! #her performance on the OBCR is unimpeachable #but I've been enjoying Sara Kestelman on the 1993 pro-shoot too #and this is what I loved most about the West End production I saw--the care put into this storyline #Vivien Parry did a remarkable job as Schneider #can't wait to see what Bebe does #gonna be a mess about it!
