#i think it was not bc my handwriting was good but bc i was an excellent student grade-wise and they dont have better choice

[good-vs-evo]

oooh i was just tryna find some huayin content because i was bored and a little tired and wanted to cheer myself up AND GUESS WHAT

i thought tumblr was a safe place for me to be insane and queer and have a good time w my silly little rarepairs and polycules and hcs

but apparently. i can't ask for one place to be silly lmao there are ppl on tumblr still being like haters... for ships they could easily avoid? and putting it... under the huayin tag? which is, you know. the uh. the intention is kind of confusing. esp since ppl search up that tag w the intent to consume content related to their personal interests and probably don't want to see ppl hating on what they enjoy in the process <3

once again i don't really see the point in so avidly hating a ship that ur tagging it... in hopes that ppl who ship it will see it? because... they're ppl who ship it... and will likely not agree w u... and will likely just see u as another hater... and either ignore or fight and like where will that get anyone? sincerely? and hating an artist so much like w so much passion i think there are better things in life to do such as: find an artist u do like and move on!!

but i digress i just. i wanted to make a lil post w my hcs for them bc i <3 huayin hehe

reusing some from my long post abt all the rarepairs and polycules i ship!

hua cheng rarely got sick, but when he did, he wasn't worried (he knew yin yu would take good care of him)

both yin yu and hua cheng know how to cook, so they make each other meals when they know the other is too busy to remember to cook for themselves

yin yu can read hua cheng's handwriting! possibly the only person on heaven, hell, and earth who can, he's really used to seeing his messy scribbles and has learned how to decipher them

hua cheng was kind of a xie lian gatekeeper for a while, but he regaled yin yu with stories and let yin yu into his temple dedicated to xie lian

e'ming trusts yin yu and likes him to equal levels to xie lian

they have some little odd creatures of mysterious background that they keep and raise together in paradise mansion

yin yu asked hua cheng to teach him how to draw and paint and hua cheng has little lessons for him when they're both free

yin yu's interested in different kinds of masks, so hua cheng gifted him a room and funds to invest in new ones

they have chill time once a month when they're required to leave their work to just spend an entire day together

hua cheng's love language to yin yu is acts of service and gift giving

yin yu's love language to hua cheng is acts of service (no wayyy) and touch

hope u enjoy :) and also wishing u a nice day :D

#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #tgcf headcanon #hua cheng #yin yu #huayin #hualianyu #huayinlian #<- kind of on the side #like implied but ahem anyways #reminder to all haters that u can filter tags out!! #also that u can simply choose not to hate ppl :3 that is 100% a viable option still #u can still choose peace in this economy yes i know #this may be a shock but #u can just not be mean to ppl #truly there is little to no reason to ruin a person's day :) #i come here to have fun #not see ppl go on and on abt how much they hate things i enjoy #evo yaps

[turtle-ly]

im seeing that poll about learning cursive in school a lot on my dash and as a vietnamese im kinda bewildered bc what do you mean you cant read cursive?? because to us cursive is for capital letters only! the rest are normal letters. so ig our normal written letters are the american cursive, and our "computer" letters are your normal letters?

↑ these are the fonts we learn in school. The left are our normal letters, the right are our cursive. Oh and the thing is, these are the only fonts we actually taught a school, the "typing" font is just what we imitate from printed books. In elementary school we have "good handwriting competitions" where the participants write in the above fonts and are graded on how close it is to the table above. its like boring calligraphy

#unrelated post #my thoughts #almost all of us are taught these in elementary school and as we grow up our writing style changes #i for example have a mix between the ''computer typing'' and the traditional font above #mostly the typing. but i sometimes write in normal letters inbetween for funsies. i switch between 2 types of s the most i think #i was a good writing participant once! or more like the teacher put me in the trained team for the competition #i think it was not bc my handwriting was good but bc i was an excellent student grade-wise and they dont have better choice

a year ago today, I started my youtube channel! here's a retrospective on some of the type design I've made for my videos since then.

hi incredibly sketchy doodle page, sketchiest yet, under the cut bc one of them is tristan and i have no idea how else to accurately convey a visual

#i think that tristan is probably a fair bit older than in dao although he already has a couple of v early grey hairs in dao #because of the turmoils and horrors. even though hes like. 23 #the scar is not from the howes i think its fun to give characters dramatic scars that arent from their tragic backstories #he just tried way too hard in training as a kid bc he wanted to be just like his mother and Mistakes Were Made #uhh what else needs explaining. can you guys read my handwriting #im not typing all that out #anyway the dress sketch is a concept for the warden-themed armoured gown i want for minerva at alistair and anoras weddingcoronation #needs some work must be sexier #thats minerva on the bottom left w her warden-commander stave heros vigilance my brother in arms my babygirl #uh and thats anders and keir bc i am woebegone without my lads rn #anything else... #OH LOOKING AT THE MINERVA/TRISTAN HEIGHT DIFFERENCE ONE YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND MINERVA IS TALLER THAN ZEV #DO YOU UNDERSTAND AND PERCEIVE okay good

short king fenris supremacy!!!! gloria is only the better caregiver by virtue of being the Eldest Daughter she's not really good at it she just has more experience. and gloria being more popular is just bc she's The Champion people don't really like her... also i wrote fenris' name with my mouse bc i couldnt find a font, they were too neat my mans just learned how to read and write like he's doing his best

[template]

#his name took so many tries bc i have “mom handwriting” according to multiple sources and it didnt look right #thinking about them and laughing bc gloria is lowkey fanon fenris who hates fun and is mean #i have no good pictures of her im like what if i replayed her jk unless... #i didnt have the dlcs when i played her.... #oc stuff #gloria hawke #x: my heart is yours

#mgs #metal gear solid #psycho mantis #tretij rebenok #my art #my god . i have spent like 15 minutes trying to write a caption #thinking about that one line in drunk walk home by mitski and mantis too #like ok. truly havin the most normal moments #also i don’t speak a lick of russian i put third child on google translate and rolled w it #this also means i don’t know how to write russian obviously. sorry for my terrible handwriting to russians who see this #eye strain #tagging just in case #anyways dm me about mantis so i can ramble on and on about my scrambled thoughts abt him and freedom #i barely know anything about the metal gear series so i Will look like a fool but still. peace n love in planet earth #also ever since i used the liquify tool for the first time in a drawing i feel like i have been enlightened #it’s been like. since 2019? 2018? 2017 even???? i don’t remember actually?????? since i’ve done digital art #and i’ve NEVER used liquify #until this year #i didn’t do it bc i 1. didn’t know how and 2. when i found out i was like pfff that sounds stupid #character development looks good on me actually #i just liquified the font here but in other arts it has been a game changer #also i just realized i could have just googled the codename on the mgs wiki im . #thinking about how he only has codenames and no actual name established #again i repeat i am soooo normal about this

i dont believe anything is inherently masculine or feminine like everything is a spectrum and people are individuals with their own behaviors disconnected from gender but transitioning really does give some context to my actions and behaviors lmaoooo before i was “messy” and “lazy” now im just one of the dudes and my apartment is just a male living space worthy of reddit

#its also funny bc i can be like yeah my handwriting sucks bc im a dude. duh #like so many of my inherent traits are more ‘masculine’ like ive literally never been feminine and it does feel good for it to finally like #Fit? if that makes sense #again i dont think this is an inherent thing tho like its just comforting to me. trans guys that have been or are feminine are just as trans #personal

[vaguelyhauntedcornfield]

Okay but like I really need to rant about this a bit so like spoilers for ep 3 of tlou below but like

idk I’ve never played the game so I had no idea what to expect going into this, but when Frank showed up, I was like “I can’t tell if Bill is going to kill him or marry him.” WELL. Nick Offerman did such a GOOD job of looking on guard and uncomfortable. His shoulders are like up to his ears the entire meeting sequence and it made me so jumpy, and then we skip 3 years and he’s so visibly relaxed. And my heart started to melt. And I found myself so enamored with these two men who, against all odds, found love in a situation where that should have been impossible. Frank was the last alive from a group fleeing a collapsed quarantine zone, Bill a preper who had decided to be alone long before the pandemic even started. We expect Bill to die the whole time--comments about him getting old faster than Frank, getting shot by raiders. The jump to Frank being sick...they showed so much through his paintings. You weren’t expecting it, and they showed you through his art how his illness has been progressing, and how him being able to see that himself affected him. They showed how Bill broke down and made a deal with Joel to get medicine despite saying he never would. This show. THIS SHOW. I was sobbing up until Bill became weirdly calm during the dinner, because I realized he’d made the decision too. They died on their own terms in a world where that had become nearly impossible. They had a beautiful life together in a world where that had become a pipe dream. Two characters that we never even meet thru the main characters, not in the present day, but who matter so much.

#also i have a lot of feelings as a chronically ill artist about everything with Frank (not bad ones! just like i feel a lot 🥲) #it hit close to home #honestly bill resonated with me too but not bc of the preper conspiracy theorist part lol #more bc of the self-imposed solitude and not seeking out relationships #i know from other posts that this is nothing like how they were in the game but this seems like such an improvement tbh #like this episode deserves awards for how much it hit me in the feels #tlou hbo spoilers #the last of us spoilers #it's 5 am so like i am not coherent but i also cannot sleep #idk how we got my horror-hating mom hooked on this show and now we're making her sob over gay romance like #that right there tells you this show is good lol #i feel like i could write an entire book on how illness can impact art and handwriting #my handwriting became that of an entirely different person when i started to get sick #my drawings changed too #tho maybe not in a way anyone but me noticed #my friend who has a similar health issue just with more presentation had to give up art almost entirely #idk it's a kind of hard i can't explain and that i dont think you can understand unless you've experienced it yourself #seeing the progression of your symptoms in the things you create #seeing how you're unable to hide it even with care #idk man #it's honestly an emotion i dont think i could name #but i feel it so strongly every time i look at more than a few lines i've written by hand #or at a page of studies ive drawn #i feel like they never made frank a tragic character. they never made illness tragic #they just made it real #the tragic theme was the idea of one without the other and it went both ways #they hit on that repeatedly throughout the ep #and in the end they didn’t have to face that tragedy #idk i feel like it’s one of the few depictions of chronic illness/terminal illness ive seen that doesn’t play the illness as tragedy #and i found that…refreshing

just did a spirally alphabet This ones for 1st grade me

#it was actually a whole thing. i made a cutesy cursive alphabet that i always wrote in when i was little #and then my teacher took points off my work bc i wasnt writing properly #and my dad got like. Absolutely pissed like furious. and he's still mad abt it bc he feels like the school wasnt letting me be creative #i do get both sides bc well. i was a 1st grader ... i had pretty good handwriting for a kid but i cant imagine my spiral letters were very #legible. also idt they were very pretty LOL from what i remember they were kinda silly looking #the alphabet i just did is also kind of silly looking But i like it....and i think its abit more readable lol #i was just thinking maybe for my dads birthday next year ill make him a card and ill use my spiral letters #bc he was like..rly rly rly sad that i stopped using them #so i think itd be nice :]

lou's handwriting

p.s. many thanks to walkerwhisperer for getting me thinking about louis' handwriting some more (and subsequently getting v obsessed and indecisive about different fonts ksdgjfhgdg)

#i tried to match it as closely as poss #disney ass lookin handwriting shfgdshf #can u tell that he totally despises that his mid name is his dad's lmaoo #as i was discussing w my good pal ww i think lou would have been taught/drilled into him to have his writing be p fancy #being a student of a private school n all #BUT he was forever getting into trouble w his teachers bc of his artistic leanings he didn't want to have just #any stuffy ol handwriting he wanted it to stand out #so it's also p artsy/cartoony n he often does lil doodles n stuff #[ about lou. ] #[ aj rambles. ] #[ out of songs. ]

[acarillustrated]

hi my name is august and for the past week or so i have become so consumed by thoughts of avatar the last airbender that it is actually ruining my life and relationships.

yeah so unfortunately i can only be completely insane about this so i have to stop before it consumes me or at least manage the fixation i have for this early 20s zutara au

+ mai bc its really a shame that they didn't resolve her story outside of her relationship to zuko. so i think she starts fight club. which gradually turns into a gladiatorial ring

edit: im typing up everything that i wrote in the drawing bc it just occured to me that not only is my handwriting a mess, but it's also cursive

Image 1

katara: How do you live in this hot ass country.

zuko: What about that literal glacier you live on, hm? Do you see me complaining?

Image 2

Zuko: my plan right now is to soft launch democracy for the Fire Nation. like, i don't think we can do that now because we're so weak, but 10-20 years down the line?

Image 3

Zuko: Honestly, my plan right now is to rule for a couple generations and fix everything that my father and my grandfather did , and then establish a democracy.

Katara: why not a democracy now?

Zuko: because the people of the Fire Nation don't know the truth about their own history. they've been fed propaganda for a hundred years. they need to be able to make informed decisions before i can do that.

Katara: and after that?

Zuko: after that im fucking off to the earth kingdom to take over my uncle's tea house and you will literally never hear from me again

Image 4

from left to right "katara" "need to redo the face" "this is chief katara to me. this is her at around 19/20 to me" "Anime katara. this anime shit is easy" "fire nation katara. putting her at about 14 y/o" "this is a screencap redraw"

Image 5

me: hello greenpeace

katara: after my mother died i had a lot of unchecked rage for the world, so my dad signed me up for tai chi classes to, like, calm me down but i ended up still angry but also really good at tai chi

katara: i feel like im doing well all things considered

me: katara is so special to me. she is a fully realized creation to me. so casual. so passionate about the world. one thing about her is that she is an activist. she has a strong sense of justice. fuck. the train jumped lol

image 6

mai: zuko, im starting a gladitorial ring and i don't know the legality of it so if you could just change the laws as i go that'd be great

zuko: yeah sure that sounds great

zuko, but smaller: wait what.

image 7

mai: REF, ARE YOU BLIND?! WHAT KIND OF CALL IS THAT!

background guy: woah holy shit

captioned: "Mai starts a gladiatorial fight club

#atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #katara #prince zuko #fire lord zuko #chief katara #mai #atla mai #softboy art time #atla fanart #zutara #yeah so if anyone want to talk to me about this i would Love to #because i think my friends are bored of me going on unprompted monologues about katara #shout out to all the gay men that like zutara #its me and you against the world #bc im pretty sure we've lost the rest of us to zukka

[drunkwhenimadethis]

Nice sometimes when one maintains a bit of nostalgia and sentimentality for the versions of person they've been and the eras of life that they've lived through bc the aura and sense of personhood that they exude is fatter and more vibrant, transmitted through taste of decor or favorite films, style, handwriting, music. Love being shown a song and told "I listened to this all the time after my breakup," or "My mom used to play this 24/7 in the car when I was young," noticing the i's that you still dot with hearts like u learned to in 6th grade. I know a girl who started texting lowercase after her first heartbreak and never went back to capital letters. So like the strangest things become pillars for us. Idk I'm always abruptly cutting myself off from the past in every way and I think it would do me good to keep some things alive
