#i gotta make a separate post about this

[justafriendofxanders]

i go back and forth a lot on my interpretations of ats s5, ie. what parts of spike are 'in character' or not, but the one thing that stays constant is my belief that spike and angel fucking would have fixed most of this.

#not that it would have fixed their problems i just mean it would introduce new problems that i would find entertaining as a viewer #anyways i don't like saying a character would NOT say/do that but sometimes i'm not sure if he (spike) SHOULD do that #in terms of showing off the more interesting parts of a character while also carving out a unique arc/dynamic for him on a new tv show #ats rw #i think what's misunderstood about spike is that he's NOT a solo sigma male lone vigilante bad boy action hero #like i think angel is actually the one who has a history of isolating himself #but spike is your friend who always has to be in a relationship (which i think btvs got correct with harmony) #idk. i think oz has that line in btvs where he's like 'i gotta go do that guy thing where i isolate myself now' #and i think that gets transposed onto spike when he goes on the 'guy show' doing 'guy things' #and then kinda blended up with the tension that many of the guys on ats experience between #being a tough guy capable of doing things on his own versus the desire to belong in a crew #but like. that's not a 'guy' thing that applies to all men. that's a thing that certain individuals experience. and spike is not one of the #like i don't think spike cares about how he fits in with society or the collective but i think he DOES care about how individuals #he's close to perceive him #anyways. today on 'reading too much into a tv show that stopped airing 20 years ago' #i gotta make a separate post about this #buffyposting

"So are you too locked in or can I make a request?"

It would never, ever, get old: watching a man the size of a mini van jump a foot in the air and straight out of his skin. The flash of steel catches the blinding supermarket lights in his ghost vision.

Wisely, Duke steps out of the way of the knife going for his stomach.

"Duke what the fuck!" Jason whisper yells when he realizes. (Duke barely suppresses an eye roll, who else has the invisibility powers required to make a holographic jacket stealthy.)

(Cass probably, Duke's mind provides.)

"I could have hurt you!"

"It's nice for you to think that," he consoles with as much condescension as Duke could muster. (A lot, for your information, he learned from the best, and also Batman.) "Anyway answer the question."

"No," Jason grumbles, trying to straighten his list where it got crunched in his deathgrip. "Planning d-"

"Day was yesterday, yeah, I had a math test yesterday."

Jason's eyes narrow.

"Does B have more trackers that I don't know about?"

"Hm? No," assures Duke. "I took Tim's notes."

"Tim's notes that have like a billion layers of security?"

Duke snorts.

"His notes that have two passwords, a thumb scanner, and a retinal scanner." He rolls his eyes for real this time to display his clear disdain.

"That Babs can't hack through?"

"You and I both know that Babs' concept of 'can't' is much more flexible than her concept of 'won't'"

"Fair that's on me for this very stressful afternoon you are putting me through," Jason snipes.

"Think of it as exposure therapy," Duke says, patting Jason's shoulder, which, to Duke's extreme delight he doesn't flinch from. "And I'll show you how I hack Tim's shit when we're not in public."

Jason grumbles, which is good as gold in Jason speak.

"Make your request," Jason begrudges, in that tone he has that indicates he will be judging your choice.

"Jalapeno cornbread, and you show me how you make it my dad wants the recipe."

Jason's head snaps up and he smiles.

"Oh man if it's for Doug you can request anything you want!"

"Eighteen million dollars," Duke jokes.

Jason pretends to think on it for a beat.

"Make it 14 and you have a deal."

Duke sighs dramatically.

"You drive a hard bargain but I'll accept... I guess."

"Shut up flashlight," Jason laughs. "Come on, I need cornmeal now."

Not a Norman Osborn Apologist or a Norman Osborn Hater but a secret third thing

#redemption may be possible but he's gotta earn it with like his blood sweat and tears #he's gotta have his ebeneezer scrooge moment of realizing what a miserable shell of man he has become #how he has alienated everyone who cares about him and that is not a long list of people #and he can only try to make amends with the ones he hasn't killed #i have found vanishingly few post-nwh fanworks that tackle this in a satisfying way if they even try #many do not #do i yearn for the father-son reconciliation? in my heart of hearts i do #but i think it would be better if harry doesn't go for it right away #even if he wanted to he might not trust it and years of being brushed off and criticized would not disappear overnight #someday i should make the post about how norman could really love his son but it might not matter #anyway sorry for making a whole separate post in the tags but there ya go #green goblin #norman osborn #raimiverse #op

need to think about something taffy and coco can do during the timeskip because i am now thinking it would be awesome if all mochis guild members joined an (at least partially) antagonistic purpose after she left and the timeskip begins with a bunch of missions trying to get them back

#i am still thinking about this as an rpg #gotta do 3-4 quests first getting your guild back before you can actually advance the main quest #lime -> m34th regiment #oscar -> madam springs #coco (and by consequence taffy) -> ???? #mochi would kick madam springs ass to get oscar back on board #its been on my mind to make some kind of overarching organization anyway #something like the adventurers guild in genshin #the people who post the commissions and you sign up for magic community jobs #hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm #i am only now thinking of the possibility of separating coco and taffy................................... #taffy does the (ive been fucked up my whole life and i need to figure some stuff out) trope and fucks off for a while #mayhaps????? eyes emoji????

#Genuinely??? I have actual thoughts about this #this might become an au #I dont know how much I'd post about it or how much content I'll make for it #I gotta think of of lore and organize the thoughts in my head #I know that the DCAs are separate for a fact here #Eclipse is also their own entity and is somehow related to the breeding simulation stuff #also the dogs featured are dogs that exist in the DCA save file I have #Of course we already know Rosie Mosie my bbg #Then there's Ham Sandwich the big dog that was sleeping on Moon #and Lawrence #He's a dick but I love him anyway #fnaf daycare attendant #fnaf dca #fnaf dca au #fnaf sun #fnaf eclipse #fnaf moon #sun fnaf #eclipse fnaf #moon fnaf #fnaf sundrop #fnaf moondrop #sundrop fnaf #moondrop fnaf #wobble dogs #wobble dogs au #does a jig #I'm still figuring out how I want to draw the DCAS heads... this has got to be my 5th time changing it #I like this shape though. big circles.

I’m clipping from the Ze, Chilled, and Junk streams on my break and I love them so much,, it feels so nostalgic and there’s very clear chemistry of old friends just hanging out,, plus Shellshock is super nostalgic as well as them trying out that new racing game

#they reminisce a lot on old times and still make new memories together you gotta love it #and sometimes I remember old jokes!!! #unrelated but on a prop hunt stream they did a couple months ago they were on the fish cone map and I was like: #wait…. THEY ACTUALLY ADDED THAT TO THE MAP??? I GET THAT REFERENCE HOLY SHIT #(it’s an old mark bob wade jack reference if my yt brain remembers correctly) #and CHILLED!! I will never stop praising him for how understanding he is of other peoples needs!! outside of his menace of a persona #he’s super empathetic and always makes sure everyone is happy whilst sticking to his morals as well #I’m gonna make a separate post about how awesome chilled is in terms of streamers and people I think #private recording 1 #youronlychat

hey, hey, hey guess what, hey strixhaven textposts but all of my character azazel because I haven't finished the other three party member's drawings yet and I need some of these photos off of my laptop omg (there's like two appearances of NPCs istg i've made more but i think they're certified in The Depths™) my defense for all of these is it's my character, you don't know him like i do and also trust me bro:

#i figured making a separate post for the party members was a good idea #since not everyone is gonna give a shit about my party #and might just wanna see the NPCs #i'll add on to this with the other party members eventually I just gotta finish their drawings #ones that don't have to do with the party will still go on the other post ofc ofc #dnd #dungeons and dragons #d&d #dungeons & dragons #strixhaven #strixhaven a curriculum of chaos #strixhaven oc #strixhaven pc #strixhaven npcs #also cause they show up too: #rubina larkingdale #quentillius antiphiun melentor iii

Why does Yunobo's sage theme go so fucking hard

#While Tulin's progression from doubt to accepting the stone is the best written #Yunobo's has the best score #Yunobo's theme makes me feel like we're going to kick ganons ass RIGHT NOW #tloz #totk #yunobo #I love him so much #Rijus theme also goes hard but it feels a lot more calm and collected compared to Yunobo's #Which thematically makes sense #Since she's #You know #A fucking gerudo warrior queen #Meanwhile Sidon and Link are shaking hands meme with ''I have to do everything myself so no one else gets hurt'' syndrome #Holy shit I think all the sages reflect different aspects of links original heroes journey as well as his overall #''you don't have to do this by yourself you know'' arc in totk #Holy shit gotta make a separate post about that

breaking news: local woman goes to the movie theater and somehow DOESN'T see the mario movie again for the millionth time? who IS she??????

#this APPEARS to be a non-mario related post but stick with me i'll bring it back around in the tags #instead i saw the japanese stage production of spirited away (subtitled) and it was absolutely lovely :) :) :) #i LOVE spirited away (makes me cry every time) and i LOVE theatre and to see how they translated so many incredible sights #from the movie to the stage was delightful #but let me tell you...the mario brainrot runs deep right now and my treacherous thoughts started taking me places #mario spirited away AU?? is that anything?? tragically separated bros fic where luigi is in the chihiro role and mario is in the haku role? #where mario saved his brother's life many years ago but lost his name and memories in the process and was corrupted by bowser's magic #and the experience was so traumatizing that luigi forgot about the other world they found together and has been told for years #that his brother simply drowned in the sewer saving him #and then as an adult luigi finds his way back into the world and has to serve bowser and fight the mushroom kingdom to survive #but at least he's being helped by a strange half-human creature who somehow knows his name without being told. at least there's that #I GOTTA PONDER ON THIS A LITTLE MORE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING HERE. I'VE GOT SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THIS #something that hasn't come up yet on this blog but is crucial to one's understanding of me: i LOVE weird AU's #i've never met a weird AU that i couldn't make work somehow. just watch me!!! #and also if you would want to see more elaboration on this let me know lol

knowing that even if they get frustrated or upset, they'll still do their best to be kind; and if they mess up and lash out then we can talk about it later once things are calmer again, and we'll figure it out and make it okay <3

An important thing to remember as an artist that started out drawing characters crudely and then started learning the fundamentals, at first your art will not look nice.

At first, drawing faces and bodies in different positions will make your characters look weird, then poor perspective will make your characters look weird, and finally when all the kinda things I mentioned above will be dealt with, just the hype of finally knowing how to draw anatomy will bite you in the ass because you can do all these things, you can draw them correctly or close to that, but whether that's figure drawing knowledge gaps, or awkwards poses/composition, or just not a very harmonious combination of realism and stylization in facial features or in general, but your before and after pictures might get this look of "clear objective technical improvement but many would consider it a downgrade"

That's a very common thing. I used to be in this before/after art community, and it was so toxic it was a meme within the community that no matter how much you've improved there will be people that will say that the before is better. There's a seed of truth to these words though, what they fundamentally get wrong is this implication that you "ruined your art"

That's a big example of why you shouldn't listen to non-art people for art advice. Keep going. You're closer to your art dreams than you ever were, you just need to look into all these things like the remaining knowledge gaps or personality to your art you might've lost as you were on your anatomy grind.

Keep creating, keep looking at art that inspires you and try to think of how to make yourself like your art better. Don't get stuck on it, if it begins being unfun, please do take a breather. Also, none of that is objective, people will still prefer things different to what you find beautiful. It's alright, create what you like, that's what this post is about. If you don't wanna, don't focus on aesthetics, just the process of creating art is fun and will eventually get you in the right place, that's what I do, I just occasionally throw in things I like and sometimes they work. Take care.

These are my current thoughts on the topic. I wouldn't take them too close to heart, this is just a blogging site and I'm blogin 👍

#Art #Art tips #Art community #Art advice #Technicality wise I have a very very long way to go #But as someone who finally started seeing and incorporating what I genuinely Like in my art it's a bit like opening my art #folder or sketchbook and kind of getting a feeling like I'm on a page of an artist I like and would actually follow #(Not bc of how I currently handle posting my art and how I choose pieces to post but I'm talking about my art archives so regardless) #An insane feeling #Also!!!!! #I chose not to include it in the post because it stood out against the main point of the post #but what the so-called Tumblr art style is all about is kind of related to this #Most of the people you'll see if you google Tumblr artstyle would have 'passable' or even 'decent' art #if they sticked to drawing thin anime girls with Eurocentric features #Current art idea floating around or almost like an unspoken rule: #If you wanna draw fat people/non Eurocentric features/disabilities or any minorities you gotta be a level above the people drawing today's #conventional beauty standards to be considered an equal to them among *gestures vaguely* #I hate that but that's something you have to keep in mind as you deal with art criticism #And as opposed to that #By harmonious in this post I mean very vague ideas and the many many ways you can stylize a real person #These are two ideas you can't detach from each other entirely but I do believe that we can discuss them separately #Just because a good drawing of an ethnic minority is going to be judged harsher than an opposite of that doesn't make it the worse drawing #Again that's why you gotta dismiss opinions of people who don't draw well and by that I'm obv talking artists better than me #Just getting that out of the way #//rambles #My thoughts on this whole topic inspired by this tweet that called the Tumblr art style too ambitious for the artists' skills and that #if anything that's something that should be praised in people #I thought that's a very interesting topic in a wider sense #I strayed away from it but as you might've noticed I wrote a post on the topic in the tags anyways #Sigh
