#malleus draconia #twst #twisted wonderland #was not expecting this to get so much traction on twitter i made it in like 5 minutes sgjkdfg #their friendship name is malletouille by the way #mal talks to remy like he would any other person and remy just stare at him with those big ol bug eyes #mal didn't want to accept remy's help at first because of his pride #but he was really struggling in master chef and he relented after he accidentally exploded an egg for the 50th time when trying to crack it #with remy's help mal passed master chef with flying colors and they remain good friends to this day #fun fact remy is canonically one of the strongest beings in existence because as long as his host as hair he can control them completely #(remy ratatouille solos malleus draconia)

some simple arts of Agent 47 because I've been thinking a lot about the Hitman series again lately. still love this messed-up bald assassin, honestly lol. it was kinda fun to try and draw him again; it's been a while :'0

please do not remove caption or repost. also on deviantart

#hitman #agent 47 #hitman fandom #hitman world of assassination #hitman woa #io interactive #i say 'simple' art here because there isn't much going on with the poses or whatever #but boi let me tell you #it was so hard for me to actually try coloring again #that process was anything but simple for me hahhaa #i'm glad i pushed through with it here but art has been such a Struggle lately #so i consider this a bit of a win in my book that i even managed to get a full-color pic done at all haha #friend helped me out a bit with getting the colors to look good so i definitely appreciate that tbh;; <33

talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"

like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like

imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.

i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.

#i know and love so many people who have intense anxiety about their ability to create art and who are so hard on themselves about the result #and i think that's a REALLY easy thing to feel because creating is also vulnerable & physically difficult and there is SOOOO much to master #but i think for me the people who churn out 300 colored pencil front facing hands behind their backs oc doodles on lined notebook paper- #are the ones with the right idea. they're the ones i aspire to be like #i'm not saying i never struggle either bc tbh #as someone with depression and adhd there are times where the Act of Having Fun is simply not possible #sometimes i CAN'T enjoy things because my ability to feel joy is locked behind a barrier of my mental illness #so i don't think it's an Easy thing to do by far and I don't think you can just Magically Make Yourself Happy And Having Fun #but i DO think that experimenting in a low-stakes low-pressure manner until you find something that clicks in your brain helps #doing things for the sake of doing them is the only way to figure out which ones WILL be fun to you #not all of them will. some things will feel like a slog #but i think you have to look for the passion before you're able to face the slog #if you jump right into the parts that are Hard and Challenge Your Limits it's easy to spin your wheels and get stuck #but if you focus on the super small stakes and the things that are thoughtless and focused more on Sensation- #the sensory experience of mixing paint or the scratch of pencil on paper or the smooth way a specific pen makes lines- #then you can lose yourself in the physical aspect of it FIRST #and then once you've started really ENJOYING those sensations you can start learning new ways to use them #because now you have the drive to want to do more #now you have the desire to find new ways to apply this thing you like doing #long post #even longer tags #art #drawing #artists #art advice

the school arc to me is so good because it drags ciel out of his position as a powerful figure and literally places him in the shoes of the person he could have been. the circus arc ALSO drags him out of his position as big bad queens watch dog/head of the phantomhive estate but the school arc feels like a mockery of a future that never was. this is what he could have been had his parents not died. and even then its NOT because he will never be that kid.

he never was.

#ramblings #incoherent beyond belief its 4 am #and im trying to avoid manga spoilers #might add a reblog with more coherent thoughts when i wake up but im off my meds so i cant promise anything #actually correction im being vague w the manga spoilers #manga readers know whats up #idk if there are any anime only ppl who havent been spoiled on The Plottwist Ever yet #but i figured there will be new fans and though im not tagging this it might still get seen so #cant WAIT to see our boy absolutely miserable in animation form should they recreate that arc LMAOOO #which ofc is after the germany arc so thats still a long time away #but STILL. itd be fun i need to see this young teenager lose his mind in color with sound #him relying on sebastian to do all his fag duties (sorry. dredge) so he can work his way up the social ladder #trying to gain power while simultaneously proving that he cant do anything but rely on others #hes always needed help in basically every way and he hasnt CHANGED he just got a demon to do it for him #he learns to lie and charm and cheat and all the while hes a fucking CHILD WHO STILL STRUGGLES WITH NORMAL THINGS #ciel is my little baby and i love him deeply no matter how much of a little bitch he can be #his helplessness isnt just 'oh he was raised in british high society' its also that he never got the chance to learn anything #which to elaborate on that id also have to go into manga territory. iykyk #like absolutely at this point he just refuses to learn how to do things he has a pet demon to do it for him #but. #hi the phantomhives backstory is killing me again its so late #both atlantic and the school arc are just setup for the Big Arc but theyre very good in their own right i SWEAR #also when i rewatched the circus arc a while back and i realised how some scenes were shot #the heavy foreshadowing that i didnt realise. yk. 7 years ago or however long its been since i first watched it #CRAZY #if you are new. to kuroshitsuji. and you havent read the manga. dear god. read the manga #ALSO GRELLE IN THAT ARC IS SO BEAUTIFUL & OTHELLO IS TRANSMASCULINE. OKAY GOODBYE

(Late) Cringetober day 22!! Listen, I somehow found myself playing Minecraft in a maid dress skin. And then I recolored it to match warped fungi because those little things are my savior in the nether because they repel hoglins and hoglins are the WORST. So, yeah, all that led to this!

#if anyone is wondering. yes those mushrooms were very fun ((and hard)) to draw :3 #I literally do not walk into the nether without at least 2 warped fungi if I can help it #cuz then I can stand on one. place the other ahead of me where I want to walk. break the one I'm standing by. and run to the next one #y'all I have so much hoglin-based anxiety I've been killed by those bitches too many times #also. more color struggles with this one. the fact that it's always gonna look different on different screens. hhhhhhhhhhhhhh #minecraft #minecraft art #minecraft fanart #minecraft nether #cringetober 2023 #cringetober day 22 #cringetober day twenty two #cringetober #my art

#like I’m sorry #I love my best friend so so so much and she’s perfect and kind and has gone above and beyond to be rational and to be there for me #and I get it she’s an autistic woman and has faced adversity and has had to go on medical leave and that’s hard #and I’m not being dismissive of her struggles #but it makes me so angry because her parents unconditionally love her and her siblings and have always made her feel that way #and has never worried about money as a kid #and yeah her relationship with her parents isn’t perfect of course #but she literally cannot understand domestic violence beyond just reading about it in a book #like she did everything she can to understand and relate #but sometimes I want to scream because I feel so alone #because no one in my life fucking understands why I’m the way I am #and I’ve been struggling the past two months really badly with coping #I’ve had to go to the doctor to ask about PTSD and not like the tik tok OWO kind #but the I was in a car crash as a kid with my dad as a drunk driver and I keep getting flashbacks in my daily life to being a small child #that are impacting by daily life and interactions #and like I feel so fucking alone #and to hear from my friends ‘your right this is horrible and toxic but lots of people go through this’ ISNT FUCKING HELPING #I don’t want to hear that it’s normal I want to feel fucking safe in my bedroom without my mother blowing up my phone or calling the cops #I am unwell and I’m so stressed and I’m so sick and I can’t cope with this and none of the therapists I’ve tried to find handle ptsd #especially not therapists of color #I’m angry and I’ve been getting worse over the past two months #and not that it matters but due to ^^^ reasons my birthday has always been insanely fucking bad for me #like depression watch bad. when I turned twenty I was vividly hallucinating while walking around campus for a week straight having #flashbacks in class and I had to be taken out of the auditorium because I was physically unwell and couldn’t stop crying and shaking #and I told my friend I didn’t want to celebrate I just wanted to sit on her couch and not be alone and she fucking ditched me #because an emergency with a different friend came up the night before #like I have a history of suicidal ideation traumatic flashbacks eating disorders and self harm and I’m asking you to be with me on a very #upsetting day and you call me the night before telling me we have to cancel because another friend is having a bigger crisis #and like you don’t even feel a little bad about it?? #I’m just upset and scared and I’ve got a doctors appointment tomorrow and I’m not in reality right now and that’s scary

Therapists have two genders:

Professional Asshole and

Well-meaning Incompetent

#color says shit #text post #replying to my therapist is the most frustrating thing in the world. ma'am you think you're building rapport with me? #I hate to tell you but you've been wildly unsuccessful if that's what you think you've been doing here. #stop trying to educate me about my bullshit diagnoses that I already know about from my years on the internet. #like. babygirl I'm over here trying to build up to feeling comfortable enough to talk about the six-layer trauma cake I've got going on #and you're over here showing me a diagram consisting of two concentric circles meant to convey the idea of self versus other #you're very nice and trying to be helpful but I don't want to fucking talk about the girlfriend I want to talk about the issues that matter #girlfriend is an experiment. the other shit is stuff that lives in our fucking soul. shit that made me into the weird person fragment I am #and I had to fight for an hour. therapist kept on scheduling us for half an hour. HALF A FUCKING HOUR HALF AN HOUR ISN'T ENOUGH TIME TO TALK #I had to fight for it and even when she finally scheduled us for an hour she still tried to cut it short #I had to pull up the appointment confirmation to prove I had an hour allotted. like seriously what the fuck. #one of those people who had their own mental struggles and then is like “I want to become a therapist and help other people uwu” #and then is fucking useless and projects their own issues onto someone else and shoves their personal solutions onto you #like someone in r/aita projecting their own shitty relationship onto someone else. some of us are different Daryl #ugh I'm so fucking pissed and I'm not giving up the controller until I get this shit sorted out for now. #r wanted to hop back on this morning in the shower and we had a shouting match but our deal was she takes a week break so I'm keeping it #because too much shit has built up and she's been not doing so hot so I'm gonna get this mess cleaned up before I let her back on. #I bought groceries. I did laundry. I got the car repairs done. I got our bike fixed up. I showered. I did dishes. I'm going to #and I'm going to get even more done tomorrow. maybe then I'll go back to watching over her shoulder and backseat gaming but not for a while. #it feels nice though. like I get to finally stretch my arms and yawn real good. #and btw to answer the question she's always fucking asking. she's not ace in the slightest lmao. I am and the bleed over confuses her. #there. question answered so maybe she can stop asking about it. #I feel like in her push to find herself she kinda pushed me back into the corner. which... ngl that hurts a little. #oh well. you don't need to hear about our lovers' quarrel. I'm going to bed in these cozy fresh bed sheets I just put on the bed.

Thinking abt my bndori ocs again... I need to draw them more I love them all sm

#rat rambles #oc posting #band posting #momoko especially drawing her earlier made me remember just how much I adore her #but Im also thinking oh so hard abt kou I need to rework their design for the 50th time at some point #momoko has such a perfect design tho she's like high key one of my favorite designs Ive ever made #I just think her shapes and colors are neat #I should totally make them all furry designs even if I dont rly have any ideas for them #I do generally make momoko a frog in au stuff tho so she can be a frog ig #yuriko is technically sorta a bat in the random card au but thats mostly just a nodd at rokka backstory #the other two do not as of now have any connections to any animals so I fully have nothing for them #I could see yori being some sort of hog or smth and kou could be a mongoose or smth idk #that also reminds me Ive been meaning to make olivia and jackie furry designs for funsies #I mean I already moddled their designs off of animals so it wouldnt be hard #Ive just been struggling to draw thats all #hopefully Ill keep building momentum into getting back into drawing more #although today was kind of rough I am starting to get off my ass a lil #mostly cause I finally found smth that I want to do in the future even if its just seeing my friends #I wanna meet them in person and the fact that thats smth I have to look forward to is making me feel much better #even if it wont happen soon just the fact that Ive added that to the 'thing I will do someday' list helps a lot with my mood #cause its just smth of a future I can get into my head yknow? #smth I can think of thats not just today and tomorrow

NEBULA!!!

Svtfoe oc, unmatched chaos (and parental issues) bottled up in a teenage shapeshifter.

They're Star's adopted sibling, but the whole backstory as to how they weaseld their way into the Butterfly family is a slightly lengthy story that I'll save for another post.

(The art in the first photo/final design was drawn kindly by my good friend @elm-off-her-rocker, the second picture was edited by me)

I've gotten to like, episode 19 of s3 and I love this show sm.

#star vs the forces of evil #svtfoe #svtfoe oc #star vs the forces of evil oc #my oc #my edit #not my art #they've met with the high commission a couple times in their past and have bitten Rhombulus with no remorse #The first time they met those guys was for custody reasons bc Moon wanted the council to recognize Nebula as her kid #Definitely besties with Star but I could see Marco and them struggling at first #Idk exactly when they'd appear first. Either before show events or somewhere mid s1? #I have so much shapeshifter lore. Also a goofy lil plot where for some reason Nebula has to pretend to be Moon and so Star helps them #Bc teen shapeshifters can't change their eye color or voice and struggle with holding a full body copy for long periods of time #The necklace is a gift from Moon and they refuse to take it off unless it's 100% necessary

im trying out photoshop to make gifs but still using ezgifs to edit things i cant figure out in photoshop bc i am a lifelong stupid person with experience in learning how to get around making things work for me instead of actually learning the proper way 

#the culture of people who were never given any help for their learning disabilities as children lmao #just fuck around with your own methods until you manage something you consider good enough #the funtion of ezgifs is so much nicer but if theres too many bright colors its fucked and you get dots everywhere and its looks like shit #and do you know how colorful nxt 2.0 is #learning disabilities and being stupid are different things but i am BOTH! #i will NOT pick a struggle i can multitask! #gotta learn adjusting speed on gifs but im kinda havin fun learning #i used to be so frustrated not being able to make gifs at all and no one made gifs of shit i wanted but now look how far ive gotten #I MOVE #IM CAPABLE OF DOING THINGS

Still working out the details for Yuzu’s Arc-V Manga verse (since it goes with my Eve’s, and is canon divergent. The ending of the manga...it is NOT IT FAM, and I’d like to give her a bit more story relevance/have her duel too), so yeah.

For now though, have some of the icon I’ve been working on. 

#💎 Melodious Treasure (Yuzu Hiiragi) #💎 Melodious' Life As A Struggling Manager (Yuzu Manga Verse) #💎 The Melodious Maestra Of Standard (Yuzu Visage) #(GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO REVAMP/FURTHER FLESH OUT THE ARC-V MANGA STORY THAT I ADORE SO MUCH BUT ALSO WANNA EXPAND UPON CAUSE I THINK IT WAS #(CUT SHORT. YUZU ESP NEEDED TO DO MORE SO HER WE ARE #(I HAD FUN DOING THE EXTRA EFFORT TO COLOR IN THE BLUE OF HER EYES AND HEAD PEICES #(I THINK IT HELPS POP AND MAKES IT MORE VISUALLY INTERESTING BUT ALSO EASY TO DO #(I SHOULD DO A FORMAL COLORING OF ONE OF MY FAV PANELS OR PAGES THOUGH
