Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.

poor gale :'(

- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly

- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!

- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)

- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)

#also had other companion drawings w gale and mystra planned for this but none of them are complete... perhaps another day #mystra #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 fanart #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios #my art #hm i dont have many opportunities to share my mystra thoughts so! #mystra is incredibly difficult to redesign and draw! I want to give her a fantastical element to her while retaining her austere aloofness #(her unassuming design is actually surprisingly effective in making her seem so effortlessly powerful) #I love spiderweb imagery and braids(weave) for her but braids make her seem so... kind? very soft? i'll try again another day... #is this seriously my last post of 2023. goddamn

The indescribable tension between an overworked and underpaid smut writer, and his biggest fan hater.

(for @frummpets)

#SVSSS #Shen yuan #shang qinghua #cumplane #Normally I don't tag with ship names but this one is a special case. #Confession time: When I first had SVSSS described to me I 100% thought the main pairing was between these two. #The dynamic is impeccable! Even if its 'just a fan ship' I stand by it. #Sorry to the people who like to think of them as handsome pretty boys. I don't. #These guys sit in their rooms and use the computer for 90% of waking hours. They are not looking after themselves well enough for good skin #They can be cute in their own way. People with acne and missed shaving spots deserve to have their romances too. #And sloppy hate makeouts <3 #Hi Sol! I truly did whoop and holler when drawing your name for the raffle! #You've been so kind and generous towards me and I'd happy to finally have the opportunity to give back some of that joy! #Thank you so much for all your support and the incredible fanart <3 You've made my day so many times! #I hope this silly mini comic is to your liking! #Playing around with colours for this one was a blast!

I try not to use tumblr for personal stuff too often, just wanting to share fun stuff and see fun stuff but, after getting fired last month, finding out a roommate is looking to move out in the near future, and needing to transition but in a time where it seems like that is getting more and more dangerous to do, I'm just really feeling overwhelmed right now and can't get my brain to focus on the things I KNOW I CAN DO right now.

#rant #personal #I have so many opportunities #and so much support #I am lucky #but I also constantly feel like time is running out #in a nebulous unhelpful way

homestuck was so perfect for autistic teenagers bc it took characters being sorted into categories and having Attributes to its absolute extreme. forget four hogwarts houses, every character has their associated colour their zodiac sign their associated animal their dream planet their god tier class and aspect their typing quirk their pesterchum handle their weapon their planet of x and y, as well as each of them having a handful of other very quantifiable Personality Traits and Interests (e.g. this one is a clown this one is angry this one likes fashion this one is just rufio from hook for some reason) and THEN they all also have their respective ancestors and dancestors(?)(plucked that word from my memory) who have all of those things as WELL

and god not to mention the fucking quadrant system

as a 13-15 year old autistic kid i didnt even need homestuck to have a plot i just happily made a big big spreadsheet of character attributes in my brain

#just endless endless personality quiz opportunities #and remember those big big shipping grids of all the characters where u could fill in what type of romance u shipped them as….. #i can feel the cogs whirring in my brain even now #categories!!!!! love them #homestuck #had to go back and add even more categories after i checked homestuck wiki #there were so many #and like. each name having the exact same amount of letters? the pesterchum handles all being some combo of GCAT?? #413 and 612 working their way into fucking everything???? #unfortunately i think andrew hussie won autism

I don't wanna further hijack that poor poll, but the thing about Harrow's schizophrenia is that it's canon. The author has confirmed it, and shared that it's based on her own experience.

It's a pretty obscure bit of canon, so of course there's no shame in not already knowing, but that's why I'm so obnoxiously persistent about letting people know.

Whatever else is up with Harrow, autism or cptsd or any number of likely headcanons, she is also schizophrenic. I feel like that's too important to be handwaved away as a difference of opinion.

#like of course not everyone knows I'm not the kind of asshole who gets mad about someone not having heard about an unrecorded con panel #not knowing is one thing #erasing or ignoring that aspect of her is something completely different #like yeah she's incredibly relateable in that way #and I know how comforting it can be to project your own dx onto someone and go 'wow shes just like me fr' #but I really feel like doing that re: Harrow's schizophrenia is a huge lost opportunity for growth #and I hate that the takeaway for so many people is 'Harrow is autistic' #and not 'oh cool didn't know autism and schizophrenia had so much overlap in experience' #relate to psychotic people without flinching challenge #anyway. tl;dr: #if you didn't already know then I have the coolest new fun fact about Harrow to share with you!! #if you do already know but have elicted to ignore it then a little bit fuck you actually #but I will ALWAYS assume someone didn't know before assuming they're being a dick #the locked tomb #harrow nonagesimus #harrowhark nonagesimus #harrow the ninth

"Now, we're not looking for any trouble, y'hear? We're 'round these parts to do our business, just like how you're here to do yours. So how about we all act like civilized folk and you set that gun of yours down before something... bad happens."

Or, Hermit Cowboys

#hermitcraft #my art #ethoslab #tango tek #zombiecleo #bdoubleo100 #I was inspired by all of the horse content in season 10 so far #Also because cowboy/western fashion is SICK #Also it gave me the opportunity to draw cowpoke Tango and Cleo with a big gun :) And Orville Peck Etho lmao #It doesn't matter what the situation is. Etho always needs to have too many weapons #Why can't I ever draw the hermits in a situation where they aren't breaking the law? Like that seems to be a requirement for me

Ted Lasso, the character, is one of the only representations of 'sometimes getting better with your mental health issues means that you are less visibly happy, and that is okay, because you are not required to be happy in order to be loved' out there and I am really discouraged that so much of the audience is angry at that.

#ted lasso #the guy we meet in season one is so so so much sadder and is suffering so much more #than the guy we say goodbye to in season three #but the guy in season three doesn't crack as many jokes and doesn't grin and laugh at every opportunity #I really didn't expect the fandom to interpret that as 'he's even worse off than before!' #when the fact is that when you're able to have an inherent sense of self-worth rather than relying on Doing Everything Right #that you become less manic about making sure everyone likes you all the time #which is what ted did for the first two seasons #I dunno I just wish there was more room for this kind of character #and... for this kind of person #believe mothereffers #theodore lasso

i killed. i murdered. i'm nothing like these sleepy people here… nevertheless, you can actually be grateful? bastard… i’m saying… thank you. because you spilled blood, you saved all of these people’s lives. i couldn’t have done it without you. (ID in alt)

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #participated in altades' dance collab :3 very grateful for the opportunity and many thanks to them for organizing this! #there was a lot of vw arc choices... but i went for the leonof arc bc it's a dear vw moment to me #i think a lot of the leonof arc further breaks down vash's ideology and for the readers - together with ww- to learn that his ideals aren't #pure naivety and that vash knows he's at an odd standpoint with himself. he's criticized ww for shooting rai-dei just prior when ww had don #so on the behalf of vash but here he thanks him for killing on behalf of his home and its genuine. bc vash's presence - although it's not #his fault - he was the reason leonof and gray had gotten to the ship and killed people there. that's the guilt he has to live with and #despite his anger he'd still resolute not to kill. meanwhile ww just did what he had to - beating down on a seemingly immortal monster but #at the core made up of many lives he had to take and i feel as the fight dragged on - his own mentality waned. committing active carnage #while remembering the orphanage... and bearing that guilt alongside the words vash left with him during rai-dei's death #only for vash to thank him afterwards what he's done and for apologizing for pushing his beliefs on ww when he had no solutions of his own #anyway. i just have so an immense love for this arc bc they just got around to appreciating each other in weird ways. though ofc its still #weird and confusing for ww bc every new info on vash it'll just be strange to him as someone who's human #ruporas art

you know which moment i feel like we don't talk about enough?

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.

The goofy choked laugh Stede does, the way Ed giggles back, the affectionate shoulder pat, the way they both smile so brightly, the way it feels SO comfortable and so casual and so warm even though they've only know each other for a short amount of time...

And the way it makes me that much more excited for all their little private, sweet, and silly moments awaiting us.

#OFMD #Edward Teach #Stede Bonnet #Gentlebeard #Blackbonnet #Edit #...I had a feeling we needed something light around here SO I'VE COMING BEARING SWEETNESS LMAO #Like I love this moment so much #I always fixate on so many other parts of the breakfast scene when gifing #But MAN do I love this part so much too #Stede's SMILE when he looks over at Ed makes me want to backflip into the ocean #And the way they're just hsdjklkls the way they click SO so fast #The way they're THIS comfortable and it's only been what like #A DAY??? #SINCE THEY MET?????? #MAYBE NOT EVEN A FULL DAY LMAO????? #LIKE PLEASE!!! #and just like #imagine them having opportunities for these types of moments again #but imagine it with MUTUAL LOVE THROWN INTO THE MIX #LIKE #THEM BOTH BEING AWARE OF THEIR FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER..... #LIKE LMAO I'M/WE'RE DOOMED

I will never forgive hbo for not giving us a birth scene with alicent. The show gives us many birth scenes which help humanize a lot of characters but they don't do this at all with alicent.

We could have gotten a scene of aegon's birth. His birth literally changes so much and affects so many people. He is the son the king always wanted and the son he killed his previous wife for, he is the prince so many people were waiting for, he is the threat to rhaenyra's claim, his birth marks an end of alicent and rhaenyra's friendship, he marks the end of his mother's innocence, and his birth is the root for the civil war.

We should have gotten a scene of aegon being born and the reactions to it.

#i feel like this show had a lot of missed opportunities #we should have gotten aegons birth scene #and the reactions to his birth #his arrival impacts so many people #and his birth brought so much change in alicents life #we should have gotten to see all of this #hotd #alicent hightower #aegon ii targaryen #alicent and aegon #house of the dragon #anti hotd writing team #hotd critical

Has anyone realised that Keith had an actual sixth sense and that it's NOT explained in the show at all?

In s1 ep1, he says that he was drawn out to the desert because of some strange energy that he could feel. None of the other characters are shown to have this ability except for non human characters. Then, when he's going to find Red, he literally feels for her energy while the others had to look for markings or (in Pidge's case) use a device to track down their lions. And he just- felt for her energy and followed it???

Then there's that fight when he's got to choose between getting the teleduv part or going after Lotor's generals and he feels for the energy of the blast and moves Voltron so that the teleduv part gets hit instead???

Then in season 7, in the episode 'The Ruins', when they're fighting a guy who used to be a Druid, the Druid guy is teleporting all over the place and Keith just- feels for where he's going then throws his blade into the guys chest and kills him????

This is such a cool ability, and I think Keith's Galra traits should have been explored in the show, cause the writers were missing out on some REALLY cool things with Keith.

Like yeah, Allura being able to do Alchemy things is cool, but what about Keith and his odd abilities? I really, really want those to have been explored more.

Oh well. More self-indulgent fic writing for me, I guess.

#its such a missed opportunity tbh #so im gonna pick up on that and make smth cool #gonna take a while tho #i have SO many ideas rn and no wjere to put them #vld #voltron #keith kogane #vld keith #princess allura #allura
