#i mean her skull is there

[soybean-official]

The parts of you that support me

#mgs2 my favorite game i love you #metal gear solid 2 #mgs2 sons of liberty #mgs2 raiden #rosemary mgs #emma emmerich #Anyways let me elaborate on the piece here in the tags again #I really like the skeletal motif that raiden's rib cage suit and the aicolonel's face turning into a skull have going on #so it's kind of an extension here. It's 'parts of me that support you' that are outlined as the bones. #For raiden his vitals are literally keeping sunny alive. So his rib cage. For the colonel he's constantly feeding raiden bad info to keep- #-the mission afloat. His skull #For emma she created the arsenal gear worm (hands) #And for rose i mean obviously like. shes pregnant in this game. but its got a bigger meaning for the plot and for raiden specifically #since it's part of the reason why he tries to be better. Her connection to him is what keeps him grounded during the whole mission #and together they all form the 'vital' organs #Alternatively i wanted to name this 'malfunctioning machine' but anyone can probably figure out that one if they wanted. Lol #Back to your regularly scheduled tagging program! #beanie art #mgs fanart #metal gear solid fanart #mgs2 fanart #mgs2

oh, this might he an idea only i've had!

the boys with a bartender s/o

i'm talking long-ass shifts, staying up til no-fucking-thank-you o'clock, that stuff

Sans: He gets constant laughs out of her. He's always the life of the bar, but anyone who knows him can tell he's trying extra hard around her and using only his best terrible jokes. The bunny monster who used to crush on him has stopped vying for his affections, because she can tell he's completely got his heart set on Mc. Though Mc still does have to harass him to pay his tab, his jokes have her ducking behind the bar to snort, or spilling drinks because she's not concentrating. He feels like he's won when she puts her head in her hands and tries to disguise her smile with a groan.

He goes there entirely for her. He used to go for the terrible food, but now he shows up for almost every shift just to see her. Grillby swats him over the skull and tells him to stop 'swooning over the staff'. He loves her smile and her eyes, he loves the way she talks to him, how she's not afraid to cut him off or dob him in to Papyrus over the phone. He has a shitty sleep schedule anyway, he doesn't mind aggravating her until the early hours of the morning.

Red: She's got a bit of a schoolgirl crush on him. He's funny, he's hot, he handles his alcohol like a champ, his flirtation is genuinely flattering. Despite looking like the sort who would grope her, even when he's absolutely shitfaced he's never leery or gross, he never makes her feel uncomfortable. Shitfaced Red makes her feel extremely pretty and interesting. One time when he was drunk, she spotted him nearly ogling her butt, but then quickly turning his eyelights up to the ceiling at the last second.

He also actively defends her at the bar; he throws hands with the idiots who get aggressive, to the point where people don't bother her anymore if Red is at the bar. The relief on her face when he takes a seat is clear as day.

... Look, he's not the kinda guy who fools himself into thinking the sweet smiling bartender genuinely likes him. But he can tell she does prefer him to the other guys. Any time things are slow, she'll come and talk to him, picking him over all her other regulars and even the other staff. It's his favourite place for a reason.

Skull: Not gonna lie, at first, she had really bad vibes from him. He'd stare at her for hours, get one drink, then stare for another few hours. She's had more than her fair share of weird guys who think they're her boyfriend because she used her customer service smile on them.

... One night, she was closing up the bar. Someone followed her out the door and cornered her, grabbing at her and not taking no. Skull showed up and knocked their fucking teeth out. Then, like the big quiet gentleman he is, he walked her to her car; once he made sure she was safe and okay, he left without a word.

Now he's her certified favourite. He's welcome anytime, and he gets drinks on the house. On top of that, now she knows he's not a bad guy, she's started looking past his scary exterior- and she's beginning to realise that underneath all the silence and scars and spooky glares, he's actually a big cute softie.

#llamagines #bartender au #i mean. skull DOES think hes her boyfriend #but at least he doesnt say it out loud

my main takeaway from my aGoT reread was that I want a prequel series about Mirri’s Asshai era I just know she was off that shade of the evening absolutely wreaking havoc

#‘maester marwyn looks away in humility but I know he’s binding a different shadow tonight’ etc #u can take the girl out of Lhazar but u can’t take the Lhazar out of the girl etc #comes back to her lil backwater village from the ends of the earth and everyone is like #‘isn’t that that weird girl who used to necromance roadkill?’ then she puts a hex on everyone who was mean to her in high school #or the Lhazareen equivalent #my dumb ass had to google ‘how to draw ram skull’ #mine #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #a song of ice and fire #game of thrones #got #mirri maz duur #lhazareen

#Finn's ocs #Finn's art #oc references #i wrote the descs while w the kids so hopefully they make sense. my attention was split #but anyway here in the tags I'll talk about the designs in relation to their kids lol #polaris is emulating thuban moreso than anyone else. her color scheme and outfit motifs are the same as his- they ARE his #her original outfit is clothes she took and diy'd into her own so she could go off into the world and well presumably look for him at first #the truth is she always wanted to see the world that's why she loved maps. in a way this was an excuse. in another way she was just lonely #but doesn't understand loneliness. also the fact that she's not his daughter by blood is part of that #bc of her actual parents (not as relevant character-wise) she sees all relationships as temporary and she has issues connecting #ananke i wanted to mostly look intimidating in a way that Bella really isn't #Bella puts on skull hairties and fishnets and stuff but she's very much. a cute softie trying to look edgy. she has pink twintails #she's so different from her mom in pretty much every way but she still did have that ideal of strength drilled into her #still her take on it is softer. she's the team leader now but she's really pretty lenient aside from the important No Killing rule ofc #w Rhea and Arche i had a bit of a flower theme. pussywillow (lol) means motherhood and buttercups mean childishness #so. mother and child #but rhea is interesting bc she's raising a whole different kid now that she's in a different place in life #if you do the math she had Saiph young. and it was alright for a while until his dad (again not as important) died #so she didn't have support or money. but she had a connection to the guild because his dad's old sword teacher is a member (hmm) #but she was too scared/ashamed to visit. she just left him his dad's old knife because that's all she had (THE KNIFE IS IMPORTANT) #arche is her kid with her second husband and her new beginning. this will cause some inner problems for Saiph when he meets them... #Poerava was kinda designed to have rich lady vibes because remember Al's family is practically nobility #but more importantly she's designed to look like a mom. with the low ponytail and tired eyes #the black pearl of her namesake as the centerpiece of her outfit too #again she's got the healthiest relationship with her kid here by a longshot #but i mean don't worry Al still got the daddy issues so he's not getting away unscathed #I already drew Taurus with the zodiac knights though so i didn't feel the need to reintroduce him #anyway Mira really has 0 connection to any family at all she was found as an orphaned baby after a monster attack #obviously she had parents but beyond town of origin it's unknown who so she has no connections to any sort of past parental figure #the guild is her one and only family and that's how she wants it. she wants to be with them forever the past doesn't matter

The downside of making an s/i with a cool design is that you want to start dressing like them irl

#yes this is about r marie 😭 #like deadass i gave her the skull earrings and then immediately after was like 'oh man. i want these' hsbxhf #i mean 😳 after designing her i got myself a pair of knee kigh boots ehehehe #bUT YEAH I WANT THOSE SKULL EARRINGS. UGH DAMNIT 😂 #ruby rambles #ok to rb #🍒🧠: evil does it better #self shipping

The tragedy that is the majority of viewers not catching onto the fact that Gamora had tons of internal cybernetics and an entirely replaced skeletal system when those are the only things that will remain long after she's gone.

#lex thoughts #universe: mcu #gotg thoughts #ive seen many people assume the silver markings were just. weird alien makeup and not the metal poking out of her skull #but granted i can't really blame them when the only mentions of the internal stuff being a quick aside during the briefing on Xandar #but. i still think about it and how it never really got brought up. almost as if it didn't matter because it was all mainly on the inside. #odd and offputting. #especially when it was always made a point to highlight the cruelty of involuntary body modification enacted on Nebula and (mainly) Rocket #bummer moment sorry i just can't get over vol 3 and watching everyone try to cover up her death as if it didn't happen #and that meaning they didn't go to Vormir so they'd be able to give her a funeral nor do they even seem very bothered by that. #very sad and depressing when yondu was allowed one and appearance beyond the grave multiple times but gamora..? Denied. #i also dislike OG Groot becoming nonexistent to the team post Vol 1 so i guess you could say the precedent had been set. but #even rocket buried a piece of him in that planter. #i wouldn't want to be a bunch of metal bones rattling around but i guess you don't always get a choice #and Gunn's tweet that he did think to include OG Groot and Yondu in Rocket's afterlife scene. but very specifically left out Gamora. sigh.

their eyes are LOCKED ON

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #fizzy plays: bg3 #bg3: aelwyn #wyn her eyes arent down there btw #there's nothing but rocks and breast image rattling up aelwyn's skull #karlach what big breast- i mean breastplate.. you have.... like armor it's sooo cool

[hexenjagd]

Decapitation/headlessness is in general association with a manner of rite and ceremony, much like with cremation concerning ancient death rite, the eternal cities and even death rite birds. While this HC will not discuss that fully just yet, it made me think back upon some of her practices, some other tidbits and where that may connect in even if for reasons distinct to her. Thinking back upon the very strong symbolism apparent in heedlessness as connection to death rite and preformed through a manner of ceremonial execution via decapitation to further enshrine the spirit of the one executed. Other details hinting back at the practice are apparent. From the sacrificial axe, to the headless knights that protect the mausoleums, and how thier armor is bedecked in feathers that strongly elude to a connection to death rite birds and what that means etc. Now, taking this into thought-- the skull (or lack there of) is of partial importance regarding uses of bone in her magic, materials and spellcraft. As a result, I've since come to the conclusion that she would be a keeper of heads in some manner or another. Be it for funerary rite/burial act, spirit work or spell work. As you'd expect, there is relevance in such actions concerning where she came from and further assist in cementing part of her role. Much like the skull, many bones serve a function for various purposes for her. Such as for binding, calling spirits, burning, divination, communion processed into char... this is also eventually done to tend Ghostflame before she was able to fully muster it... The skull holds a unique function and purpose. On the one hand: depending on who and what you, you're either kept in reverence, properly burned and scattered, or placed in your final resting place in regard to her law. Your skull painted/etched into in accordance to rite, and cared for for as long as it remains within her possession or within your burial grounds that she. That is... if said skull simply isn't as a unique ingredient as a summoning tool-- or as a serving point of severing soul from body. — Side note: Her time as The Witch Knight stood as testament and contributed heavily to the solidifying of some of these practices. It was during this period she would take the heads from various lords, enemies and other specific targets... and just about anyone who came to hunt her down. The act of decapitation became strongly associated with her during her extensive 'revolt'. When it came to collecting or making use of any of it, what wasn't broken down into char and used, was aptly discarded rather than kept... for she revered none if very few of them. The very few that were kept during that "era" was done so for unclear motives and purposes.

#Vestige || headcanon; concepts; muse lore; #tw decapitation #Irony here is she was hung-- would have certainly been a thing had she been decapitated instead huh #Touching upon some world building partly center to some tradition and some things she learned along the way #Or outright dubious because Witch Knight era things but ya know how it be #she partly abandoned what would have been the expected conduct of one in her station among her own at that time #What wasn't taught by her mother and coven she pursued and self-taught and where some of this may tie into her own sorceries #And of course soul eating/magic; and necromancy #and even implying some customs when dealing with those that may need to be buried/tended proper instead #Back to magic; the skull and the parts that compose it hold a unique role-- and it will be discussed further #You can bet you'll find a ring of charred painted skulls somewhere with an abundance of grave violets-- and that could mean a few things #One day I will do full game lore HCs again #I have lots of thoughts about death rite; those who live in death; and the eternal cities..

Fooling around with more fantastical designs for the Layered Earth.

Nocturne and Sonata here were normal people, once, but they got a little too cuddly with some particularly weird magic artifacts, and now they’re, uh, not quite Angels and not quite Prophets. Angels are defined by their still being human but not having proper Humanity, and prophets by their being beyond human while retaining their all important capital-H Humanity. These two are more like… if something wanted to be part of Humanity, picked two weird college kids to be their models, kinda-possessed-kinda-replaced-kinda-cloned said college students and now they’re weird leggy army birdie thingies with twice the dramatic dispositions, and three times the urge to sing a capella in many-part harmony, and four times the audacity to dress like that.

Edit to say please click for better quality why do the pixels always get murdered

Close ups under the cut

#worldbuilding #layered earth #sketch #creature drawing #character design #anthro #technically? i mean theyre bird people not people people #look into nocturnes dead skull eyes and tell me he never dreamed of being a bird in middle school #ironically nocturne is not a night owl by any definition of the word #but he does like spoopy things like foraging bone bits and sewing by hand #sonata will probably have tattoos eventually i just dont know what she wouldnt want on her arms or legs #she very much gives biker but on a scooter vibes #i dont even know what that will look like but its her to a t #more weirdos like these to come #all of whom will be named after types of classic songs #tocata overture prelude symphony fuge aria concerto suite minuet waltz etude etc #rondo rhapsody ballet opera and the like #is it clear that im a music nerd

There are times where I remember thinking "I cant be autistic I Dont take things super literally"

I was just reading lyrics to a song trying to decipher some of the imagery and the obvious answer is that the singer telling their story was hallucinating or seeing things and I was looking for Literally Any Reason why things were strange

#bubbling crow skulls what does THAT mean #it means theyre SEEING Things you GOOF #then there are times where people will use metaphors and while I UNDERSTAND that they are METAPHORS #I do picture the literal thing in my head #'her hair was as red as an apple' #me: pictures a real apple despite knowing it is simply an expression of how vibrant her hair is #christ im so autism

14: A song that you would love played at your wedding.

Idk if i'll have like a wedding wedding but this song is very romantic in a morbid way which is good vibes imo

28: A song by an artist with a voice that you love.

The lead singer's voice is so hot to me,,,,and this song in particular I didn't like the song itself too much but the way his voice sounds in it is so good it ended up in my liked songs anyway and I've grown to love it all around

#ask game #yet-another-heathen #thanks wick!! #sorry this took a bit to get to #had the new year's party last night and i stayed the night at my bf's so i didn't get much laptop tumblr time until now #i refuse to do anything that involves copy pasting links or formatting text on my phone too annoying #one of my best friends said she'd like skulls to be played at her wedding so it came to mind when i read the question lol #and i dont mean i dont wanna get married my bf and i want to we've talked about it #but idk if i want like a *wedding* it just seems like a huge pain #id rather just do it at the courthouse and then go out for ice cream #fpc singer man...your voice so pretty...what would it sound like if you screamed in pain...jus wonderin...

So you know how Harumi doesn't want anybody to end up like her? But there are multiple times where she goes against this, & basically harms kids by letting evil reign? Yeah, I'm going to talk a little about that, but a situation I don't see many people talking about.

So, Harumi is sided with Vangelis, who enslaves people, in order to get her vengestone. And it's pretty obvious she knows he enslaves people, based on the fact that he literally told her that he has Munce & Geckles working in his dungeons.

Technically, by buying his Vengestone & helping keep his mines open, she in a way is helping families get torn apart & separated.

Btw, I don't hate Harumi, it's just funny how she can be such a hypocrite when it comes to stopping people from becoming like her.

#ninjago #ninjago harumi #ninjago vangelis #When my OC first meets Harumi she actually despises her due to the fact that she sided with Vangelis #and let me tell you my OC hates Vangelis. Even though Vangelis doesn't know she exists #I mean in my AU he doesn't even know he's a fake Skull Sorcerer (for various reasons) but that doesn't mean that he's not a horrible person #Nor does it mean that my OC will ever sympathize with him. Because she won't #She'll later grow close to Harumi once she realizes that Harumi's actually changed & is a good guy now

okay the STATE of my asks right now lol, i just want to clarify so deeply that i am not gleefully celebrating the fact that i don't like this season. like. i tried to love it. so hard. i think some of you have this impression that i've become obsessed with this piece of media only to then sit in the corner and wait with party poppers for its inevitable downfall?? like who do you think i AM?? i am MOURNING to an UNHEALTHY level lmao my hyperfixation is slipping through my fingers (if you only know me through tumblr, i have also written a stupid amount of fic for this show and studied s1 for it, as in STUDIED, i have spent so many hours with this show, i am hardcore adhd ATTACHED to this content). i promise you i am NOT finding fucking joy in this, i am just discussing the show on my own blog and i SOBBED last night about how UPSET i am. truly going to need people to stop telling me i'm a fucking idiot for not liking narrative choices and/or telling me to shut the fuck up because i "can't understand basic premises." i really truly promise you that i'm smarter than you think i am and perfectly capable of filling in gaps, but i am allowed to think that the show should have done some shit on screen. also it doesn't MATTER, if you love it i am HAPPY FOR YOU and JEALOUS OF YOU lol, if you don't like what i say just ignore it! i don't know why people are so angry but it is EXHAUSTING, get some fresh air thanks so much <3 <3 i am being a sad girl on my own blog <3 <3

#set the scene: me in bed at three am before a long day. still awake. (i am pst. so like it had been five hours since air) literally SOBBING #i got one HOUR of sleep (i mean i have insomnia so less impressive. but STILL) #if you want to make fun of me please do so in the appropriate arena. read me like lottie matthews reads the yjs for loving this show so muc #that's way more fun and actually comes with a dash of accuracy lmao #i don't have an ulterior motive i'm just a woman processing media on her blog!! #(lifts animal skull mask for dramatic effect) like i have been this WHOLE time! #yellowjackets blogging

I got into Precure very VERY late to the party. I only saw Yes Precure 5 and liked that the best because it came out around the time when I would have been the same age as the girls. So it invokes a kind of nostalgia for me because of the mid-2000s vibes. Plus I was exactly like Nozomi when I was a kid. So when I heard that Otona no Precure was going to be a thing I was of course intrigued...

What I'm trying to say is, did anybody else lose their fucking minds at that one shot of Karen and Kurumi?

#I was lowkey salty at Milk's presence because I shipped Karen and Komachi hard #but eventually Kurumi kind of grew on me and tbh her relationship with Karen was the most interesting subplot #so when I saw that one shot my eyes popped out of my fucking skull and I mean that in the best possible way #like it ain't 2007 anymore AND IT SHOWS HOLY SHIT #otona precure #yes precure 5

i mean nona gave us a lot in the way of easily-missed offhand trivia but i think ob/gyn mercymorn was maybe the most everything of all of it. of course she was. children as fists. infants as gestures. yuck. pfaugh.

#like i'm going insane about her. ''i will not tolerate a plan that incorporates reproductive injustice'' good lord. #gesturing frantically at dios apate major and making incoherent noises. a myriad is a very long time. #rhi talks #the locked tomb #mercymorn the first #books #and like i mean of course she was. of course that was where god's anatomist saint came from. of course. #you can assemble a horde of surgeons and every one of them will know a few square feet of the body like the back of their hand #but if you want to know how kidneys split and skulls calcify and dorsal nerves unfurl from the spinal column then where are you gonna go #but an ob/gyn. #*tearily* mercymorn... marlene... maria.. whatever the fuck your name was. i love you
