Can you show us how to draw the height differences for each of the Marble hornets characters? Some people draw time absolutely tiny compared to the rest and some people make him taller than jay and not much shorter than Brian, and I think it’s funny

I do draw Tim being tiny 😔🤝

This is kind of how I imagine the main four guys!! I like to think of jam as short and brilex as tall just cause I think that's funny lmao

Idk the exact actual height differences between them, but that's how I imagine them ✨✨

(Sorry this took a little to answer, thank you for asking!!! :D)

#Also sometimes I make Jay taller than this just for the hell of it because i think he qualifies for the tall awkward Virgil-ranboo type #Of character #At the end of the day i think we can all agree that Alex is tall and him n the operator formed the tall squad #And really marble hornets was all about the short kings rebelling against the tall ones #Canon /j #Also idk how people make jay shorter than tim that makes me want to throw up /hj /lh #Definitely not my thing that is odd in my very personal opinion #But you guys do what you want o7 slay 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 #marble hornets #jay merrick #tim wright #brian thomas #Mh jay #Mh tim #Mh brian #Mh alex #Just now realized i slightly miss-read the ask sorry bout that but i am much too tired to change the drawing 👍 #My art teehee

I truly cannot fathom how anyone could watch Star Wars and come away thinking that the Jedi did nothing wrong/that their philosophy was correct. Like did you even watch Return of the Jedi? If the Jedi had had their way, Luke would have killed his own father. The entire point of Star Wars was that the Jedi were very wrong and flawed.

#like obviously there is a lot of nuance #the jedi did not deserve to have a genocide performed against them #and they are not fully to blame for anakin's downfall #but they did a lot of really shitty things and it truly baffles me to see people so blatantly deny it #just so you can keep this childish idea of the jedi as superheroes who never did anything wrong ever #like the text of star wars is very very critical of the jedi order #and yet i see people on tumblr dot com insisting that the jedi did nithing wrong #idk man it just seems odd to me #star wars #jedi #jedi critical #star wars prequels #clone wars

There is a universe in which i was caught up properly on CR whenever what the fuck went down and Imogen verbally and definitively declared that- after everything leading up to this and the back and forth and indecision- that she'd be willing to take down her mom if need be. and i would have been deeply insufferable and writing 20+ separate meta posts and liveblog yelling posts and shitposts. This is not that universe so instead we will put this post here where i can have wildly uninformed (aka 20 eps behind) Emotions about it until someday i actually catch up.

(I know. i accidentally wrote potentially wildly off base/deeply out of date meta again. what can i say. i like shaking the concept of An Imogen (even if it is Outdated Imogen) in a jar. sorry.)

Because i was watching long enough, I think, to see Imogen in the throes of the hope for something better, to understand that Imogen was viewing her mom was a figure and an idea and an answer, that would make things easier. Her mom was- gone, so early. And so her mom, in her mind, was not a person she was an idea, and there was so much hinged on that! Dogged determination and anger at her father and a deep seated dislike of the powers in her hands and head even as they gave her a guilty rush. There were promises there that maybe no one else had made, but Imogen believed. Things built up. Expectations made. Lore crafted, even unconsciously, around someone who was, yes, important to Imogen, but more importantly: Missing. Gone. A blank slate to be filled in. A promise of an answer guide to open questions.

And then she meets her mom, and Liliana Temult goes from a figure to a person- with all the bells and whistles and rough edges. She meets her mom and her mom turns her away. Tells her to run. Tells her she should go. Tells her to leave.

And Imogen doesn't. In the same way she kept visiting libraries, keps asking, kept pushing for answers when it was just about her magic and her headaches and the voices. Imogen always, always wants to know. She keeps digging, she keeps trying, she reaches out, over and over and keeps trying to touch this figure in mist until she's real under her hands, and. Evidence piles up- of deeds gone wrong, blood on her hands, a figure standing next to Otohan (her friends bodies scattered, lifeless, around Otohan). She keeps reaching out, keeps trying, and is rebuffed, over and over. Things get worse and the skies get redder and magic goes dead and she's still- unsure, because what if there's a better reason, what if there's a better way, there has to be a reason, why. There has to be, right- maybe if- maybe. Maybe-

Its just like- a person as an idea. As a symbol. As a promise. One you build yourself up around and towards. One you talk about, not talk to.

And then the fog clears, and they are a human.

(And she's your mom, and she's not what you imagined. She's done you wrong. She's done your loved ones wrong. She's hurt you. She's hurt others. She's going to keep hurting you. She is going to keep hurting everyone. She is too far gone to reason with. She is not listening to you. She is flawed. She is. dangerous. She looks so much like you. You look just like her. You are so similar. You have always known you were similar. You always hoped. You.

Are not her. You are not hers. She is not yours. She is not who you thought she was. She was always someone else. So are you.)

Imogen walks through the bases pretending to be her mother. Liliana is a known face- a powerful one, a figure people fear. A well known silhouette. Imogen slips into the shadows of it, sometimes, when it serves her, but we know- she knows- its all an act. All a lie.

Liliana, after all, is alive, and well, making choices that she believes in and fighting for things with a dogged determination maybe only matched by her daughter.

Imogen knows this. I think. There's a part of her that maybe wishes that wasn't the case.

"There is no loyalty with this blood." And after all- only living people bleed.

#im so sorry for yet again writing deeply uninformed. idk if this counts as meta. its more me going 'hey if this IS whats happening. WILD.' #critical role #cr spoilers #c3e88 #imogen temult #spar speaks #liliana temult #this is REALLY just a word vomit based on gut assumptions from what i actually watched. my vague knowledge from posts ive seen. and now thi #im functionally playing connect the dots here which is. Not How Meta Should Be Written so take this more as fun speculation prose i guess?? #no one take this too srs its mostly so if/when i finally watch everything i can reference how off my assumptions were #this is def based off where things were around when the solstice happened bc thats when i was last mostly caught up #so the odds of me fully MISSING some important imogen dev and character things since then are. actually its not odds. its like.definitive. #but maybe this is true for at least early campaign imogen to ep 50 imogen #and it would be VERY cool if it actually applied to her now #i kept saying 50 eps but looking at my last liveblogs it might he closer to 20-30. ... still.

[spacelazarwolf]

always wild to get the most horrifically transphobic comments from someone then check their profile to see they have “she/they” in their bio.

#and it’s so weird bc they always come from this odd place of being defensive of womanhood #like in a very te/rfy way #like ‘well you’re a MAN now so you couldn’t POSSIBLY understand what us FEMMES go through’ #like bestie that was literally me a year ago #i fully do understand #it feels very ‘silence gender traitor’ #and like #idk how to say this in a less abrasive way #but changing your pronouns or being nonbinary doesn’t mean you can’t be transphobic #bc in the past few weeks i’ve experienced a WEIRD amount of transphobia from non transitioning nonbinary people #who just REFUSE to get that our experiences are different #or who look down on me for making the ‘wrong’ choice in my transition #and like obviously not all nonbinary ppl are like this #but a lot of non transitioning ppl who were afab tend to be vulnerable to falling for te/rf rhetoric #just by virtue of their life experiences and which communities they often start out in #and like this is obviously part of a larger conversation abt ra/df/rn rhetoric in queer spaces #but it’s just one of those things i wish i could talk abt without ppl immediately jumping to conclusions abt my views

[stuckinapril]

I think I realized how severely humor infects all spaces when I witnessed two of my coworkers at the neuro clinic I’m interning at laughing at putting in a patient as deceased

#It wasn’t because the patient was dead it was because of an error the system did or something #But even joking about it in that context is fucking weird to me #I thought death would be the only thing humor couldn’t touch #Especially in the context of FTD which is a very aggressive dementia #I don’t think they’re bad people but I do think they’re weird as fuck for that #And if it were me I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing I made that kind of joke #I don’t mean to be a buzzkill but I have my limits and wtf was that #I didn’t say anything I just pretended to be engrossed in my paperwork #The neurologist I’m shadowing wasn’t present #And while I do think she’s a little too robotic when dealing w patients I don’t think she’d have been in on that joke #Just odd idk the us healthcare system already has issues but I think a big one I’m starting to see is #How desensitized the healthcare workers get #Where’s your heart #I love medicine for the humanism of it I don’t wanna become like this one day #I know some people are gonna tell me it’s Just Two Coworkers Being Silly #But can’t they be silly about something else

[sarahjacobs]

punk spot and goth sarah stuff 🫰

i also made playlists of the kind of music i think they'd listen to :') you can listen to spot's here. most tracks fall under the hardcore subgenre, but there's also a good amount of ska and pop. generally has a chaotic, garage, and/or dated kind of sound, really wanted the kind of stuff that scratches my brain in a specific, rough way

there's also sarah's playlist, which i'm less confident about because i'm wayyy more immersed in punk subculture and music. but. i tried! some gothic rock, mostly punkabilly and gothabilly. i feel like she'd be into music that has that campy slasher feel, so that's the overall mood i was gunning for

#newsies #92sies #uksies #sarah jacobs #spot conlon #drawings #confession idk anything about uksies this is purely based on vibes bcuz the concept of a pinoy nonbinary spot has charmed me #anyways more nerdy stuff ahead i am so sorry >>> #i heart thinking about what characters would be like if they were punk it is so fun #i view sarah as punk usually so it's interesting to compare & contrast her and spot #like sarah i personally cant see modifying her hair or her body much. she'd mostly stick to diying clothes and jewelry #so while she IS punk she's not the kind of punk that most people auto think of #but spot feels like someone who'd /really/ want to lean into all the trappings of punk. being intimidating AND cool #so they're spiky all over. hair piercings jacket are sharp #sarah's battle jacket is a comfortable corduroy material. it's colorful and has random scraps of fabric bcuz the goal is #to make the original jacket last as long as possible #whereas spot's has more inflammatory patches and is strictly black and white and has the sleeves cut off #and has non fabric stuff attached like the spikes and studs and also soda can tabs #because they also strike me as someone who collects random odds and ends. hence the bottle caps repurposed as pins #i also wanted to play around with adding chains and safety pins onto their jacket but alas #ultimately had to prioritize readability #same thing w sarah i wanted to give her layered necklaces and more maximalist elements to her outfit but it ended up muddying everything up #anyways. im insane but specificity is very important to me for punk stuff just because i think #'punk versions of xyz' tend to water down what punk actually is by prioritizing the aesthetics of rebellion without being specific #in What they are rebelling against. which is why these headcanons lack inflammatory political ideas and punk bands #or like they'll just have the circle A sign and it's like ok but do you know what anarchism is and what anarchist praxis looks like #also spot would not be an anarchist tbh they read as more of a commie #they are not doing nonhierarchical based organizing iykyk

Today.............. has genuinely. Been. A Day.

Have some OC doodles I started yesterday before tragedy struck and are like the bare minimum effort for today to finish. Since the two princes were originally not /in canon/ for another plot but rather made for a mafia AU as cousins to one of the main characters for the base plot. I was like. Huh let's give them a happier life. So here they're just princes and instead of the police department/detectives that most of the main cast is in base plot, those are the royal guards around the twins' castle.

#my characters #the funny thing is that the princes are like......... made for an au of another plot #and here they are in another au of the plot #so like yeehaw everyone i love my ocs and i love putting them in situations #also idk what its worth but hey happy pride atticus is trans im proud of him #it has zero relevance to the plot but its important to me that hes trans #he also is like.... an absolute bundle of friendliness which is a huge contrast to the twins cousin #who is extremely stoic for the most part and finds it hard to feel emotions and thinks #everyone feels the same way all the time like him - WHICH IS DEPRESSED BY THE WAY #but he learns that ah nope thats just him and oh hes better by the power of love #and he doesnt actually get it ?? like in canon or mafia or as a prince hes just like #huh i like this guy and he makes me want to smile which is really odd im gonna stay by him if i can #and doesnt even realize right away hes fallen in love #atticus and caspian however are very aware of their emotions and are v happy to see their cousin feel things #and are constantly there to tease him but support him and help him and theyre all good boys #ill shut up in the tags now bc the tags are taking me as long to type as the art took to doodle

[artificerstimetable]

heket and joonona :-) <3 just wanted to doble em

#cult of the lamb heket #cotl #cult of the lamb #cult of the lamb follower #cotl follower #cotl heket #ohh we love them so much theyve been buddies for so long #gave joonana a longer living pendant #wish we gave them an immortal one but didnt know how to switch pages on the gifts or really anything until today #joonona enjoys talking about her day with heket in very vivid detail #i think joonona would spend hours just talking about her most recent crusade with heket just super excited and shit #idk much abt heket but we like imagining heket with an instrument hehehe #joonona totally is' overdramatic' we think she'd preform little plays and act out stuff #also she talks odd and i love it #heket enjoys trying to add things and wants to show the exact like #longing? enthusiasm towards joonona and her stuff she really just wants to show joonona how much she sppreciates and loves her #heket would be fucking devastated if joonona died #definitely would not show it though atleast at first #sorry if we're getting anything ooc! #but we overall just like them :-)

I'm 9 sales away from hitting 300 sales in my Etsy shop and only 33 followers away from 2000 here, should I like. Do something to celebrate that lol?? Not sure what I could do except for maybe like a small dtiys but I think it could be fun since I'm reaching both a shop and follower milestone right around the same time :] no current plans yet just spitballing and I've never done something like that before but it just sounds like fun y'know!!!

#i was thinking that if i did a Draw This In Your Style thing it could be like #'1st place gets $35 off coupon' '2nd place gets $25 off coupon' '3rd place gets $15 off coupon' 'all other participants get a $5 off coupon #or something to that effect?? idk i haven't really planned this out yet!!! #just saw i was about to hit a milestone and thought something like that could be fun i haven't made any plans yet!!! #sorry i am feeling. very odd and strange right now so sorry if my posting is a bit more erratic than usual!! :]

i've been thinking about how weird it is that sometimes your favorite pairings go exactly how you expect them to go and sometimes they just don't at all. specifically, in the context of crowley/aziraphale and ted/rebecca. i feel like in both cases, i was really paying attention to the details and nuances and seeming symbolism around the relationship for years. and in season two of good omens, the text itself seemed to absolutely completely vibe with everything we'd noticed as a fandom about season one, and make a logical progression from there that was really in line with what felt true about the pairing in s1. like, you could really tell the show was also extremely aware of all the small moments that the fandom had picked up on. whereas in season three of ted lasso, obviously, the show wound up just not seeming very interested at all in all the stuff i'd thought was an argument being made for why ted and rebecca belonged together. (in earlier seasons, but also even within season three!!! green matchbook what????) i pick out these two examples because, well, they just happened on my tv in front of my face recently, and because i think both had a lot of symbolism and a lot of underlying 'see, THIS is why they're meant to be together!' details. but the payoff could not have been more different!

it's just so weird how sometimes it goes exactly like you expected, like it's proven that you were in fact vibing exactly right with the text, and other times it's just like, "nope, mate, YOU'RE WRONG."

#another example of this where i think it really paid off was grace and frankie #i'm still not over the nick of the show having the exact same fate as the infinite nicks in fanfictions #idk it's just so odd how sometimes it happens and sometimes they're like NOPE! SUCKERRRRRRR! #i still maintain that they had to abandon a lot of subtext in a weird way with ted/rebecca #dollsome's deep thoughts #ted x rebecca #good omens spoilers #good omens #the weirdest thing to me about ted/rebecca still is that they just abandoned biscuits with the boss. #having no last acknowledgment of biscuits with the boss will forever be weird as hell to me #but i guess that also ties into how i thought BWTB was very significant in terms of them being an ideal romantic fit #and they weren't i guess! so!!!!!!! might as well throw it aside!!!!!!! #i'm still very confused about almost everything that happened in season three of television program ted lasso

[faunandfloraas]

okay but following rockstar which had (in my opinion) some of the best and coolest concept pictures with the magic school and toy world stuff which, again in my opinion, are some of the most aesthetically displeasing is so 😭

#like im not a fan of the colour schemes going on with either #or the outfits tbh but a big issue is the set designs and pictures just- to me- look cheap? #like if youre gonna do the harry potter school thing which I would prefer not #but if youre gonna do it make it look.. old academic brick building yk what i mean? #or go gothic and do it more Scary magic than childrens shit #like idk its just funny it just looks and feels slapped together and its odd to me #like jyp theyre very successful please dont be stingy on shit now #its actually embarrassing to make a big and successful group look and feel cheap do they not realize this... #like felix closed the LV show you need to up your games now bc the contracts run out next year #also like the fact most the toy world pics have been all over twt for days and ive barely seen it on tumblr? kinda telling lol #only saving grace is seungmins blonde mullet and minho being paired with him lol #least the jp merch is cute

[hometownrockstar]

tell us what it is i want to know.

ok fine as long as nobody judges me for it. i just like to find bizarre horror stories and read them without any info and stumbled across this one. its called mimicry, here's the myanimelist link, you're gonna have to read it the same way i did which is go to the official site link and make an account to see all the pages. i didnt see it till now but theres a short non-spoilery review on the myanimelist page which gives u a heads up and minor synopsis, but basically gore and sexual content

#see the thing that makes this story so odd to me is the tone... #like its so unlike most horror stories i read in that it wants to make it very sympathetic and sad? #i would barely call it a horror honestly im just calling it what it's tagged #like idk... what a strange story

[ro-sso]

thinking about all the forms of magic MC has used, just suddenly as if they are fully trained. also the lack of magical tools used feels weird? Like we got a rune ward for rune carving, and a shadow seeker vacuum, a fragment of aideens light and a bottle of aideens tears but these all do... nothing? We dont use the rune wand to help channel energy, or rune-work outside of that one questline.

idk if it's just me but with some of the more recent late-game quests it feels as though MC has suddenly become adept in magic after training in the Sun circle (& doing minor work in the lightning and moon circle). It feels quite... offputting but that could just be me being weird

#sso #sso critical #(kinda) #idk it just strikes me as odd. the amount of training MC was put through in the sun circle and then there was not as much put into any othe #circle. we did rune running (again with no rune wand) with rhiannon. #idk SSO feels very... patchworked atm and i get that its an 11 year old game so writers and other workers will have joined/left #but there's not much continuity in mind. it feels like no one has kept track of the storyline #or what they want the storyline to be. so as soon as you get past the opening scenes they now have (which for all we know could get retcon #you're in the wild west of lore. one thing mentioned may end up being incorrect later. #'For a long time' Anne was missing and Lisa after a tour with her band. we know Linda is missing for about a week or two [depending on how #long it takes for the player to get to that quest. for SSORidethrough that was on day 9 and if we add in the new opening of all soul riders #being there then thats roughly what you get i reckon.] #but yeah. sso story is inconsistent at best

happy to announce that it is now illegal to argue that sonic 06's canonity fucks with or irreparably ruins the timeline without acknowledging the fundamentally worse damage caused by sonic generations' concept and writing, hope that helps!

#soda offers you a can #joke alert. i am joking. you are free to criticize media as you please #however i do think find it odd that this still comes up when 06 kinda slots itself into things very nicely everything considered? #it doesn't retcon itself. it's a rush prequel. if memory serves it's implied that sonic remembers everything afterwards. perhaps even elise #meanwhile gens takes a big fat shit onto the idea of a sensible and coherent timeline and somehow that's okay bc the gameplay is better #fuck classic sonic in 3d games only makes everything worse in that regard #like idk maybe it's a case of new people getting into sonic and they don't know/haven't considered everything yet #in which case i hope they're happy to learn more and broaden their horizons on these things #or im just brainrotted by a furry game for children which may even be the more likely option hee hoo

#im still procrastinating so bear with me #ive just been thinking abt something. like the idea of a support system #bc as a 1st year grad student ppl around me r like: it must be hard being away from ur support system or ive left my support system when i #moved halfway across the country. and like i dont really feel that way bc idk the idea of a support system is sorta odd to me #like for me i guess it would just b my parents who i kno love me but im just so weirdly asocial that i never really talk to them #like i hardly ever text them. we talk maybe every couple months. so like i guess i theoretically have support but its a bit abstract #and like i have friends i guess but again im a bit weird and dont really feel connected to ppl so i dont feel that close to anyone #surface level friendships i guess. i dunno. i just feel weird not not having a support system but also having it b hollow #i guess i cant feel it more now. like i feel like getting diagnosed as bip0lar made my problems seem more realized to my parents #like i dunno i just assumed they knew i was doing awful most of the time but maybe that wasn't the case #its such a weird thing to b diagnosed with. like the conotations feel a lot heavier and i feel like im not supposed to talk abt it to ppl #bc theyll think im unreliable or something. like it wouldnt b that big a deal if i was just depressed but the sometimes buring out of my #skin makes me somehow scarier. and i still feel conflicted bc i do have a bip0lar mood profile but i have very very high impulse control #and even when im going high my mind is still super rational about it. which seems weird bc low impulse control is common with #the diagnosis. its also y i dont fit an 4dhd profile. not that it really matters. i fit the criteria enough to be on the bip0lar spectrum #its not like someone's gonna come yell at me for not being bip0lar enough. i just feel odd about it is all #still feels fake i guess. hard to imagine feeling any different to how i feel now. which is weirdly stable. so i guess the meds r working #sigh... ok enough i need to go to sleep at 7pm so i can get up at like 2 to finish reading a paper. for some reason my god forsaken brain #works better in the early morning rip #unrelated
