#im glad im more active

[monstermonger]

I recently bought an art book on Caspar David Friedrich, whose emotional work stuck with me since I first saw it in a museum years ago. Over the course of a few weeks, I read about his life and at the same time did studies/interpretations of many pieces. It was a really enjoyable and fulfilling project; here's a good lot of them together :)

I was happy to see many people enjoyed Friedrich's work+my interpretations while posting them individually. It took way too long, but I FINALLY set up a print shop for some of these + some other pieces for those who expressed interest. Thank you so much!

#hi again :D im back after my bimonthly haitus #friedrich #caspar david friedrich #art #fantasy art #fantasy creatures #dragon #dragons #god i had so many issues trying to put together a print shop yall.... #i'm glad it's finally done #i'll put a more print-focused advertisement together later #ty for the patience :"D #i've been working on a TON of stuff lately #I actually really like this setup-- where I quietly work on lots of things for months #and submit it in bulk over the course of a few weeks of activity #mentally a really nice method for me

hythlodaeus be like "teehee I hope I can be of some use" *clean headshot* 😊

bitch they wanted you for the aether-centric governmental position I know you think your curmudgeony cunt husband is amazing but stop selling yourself short its a slippery slope to sacrificing yourself to make god smh

#final fantasy xiv #ffxiv #im glad ee3 confirmed hes downplaying his own abilities bc soooooo many people just take characters at their word in this game #im always curious as to how his esteem issues developed I dont think its as simple as 'society' bc hes pretty accomplished in the context o #said society they wanted him on the convocation! hes in charge of a whole bureau and that doesnt mean no one ever made him feel bad and we #know erichthonious got mocked though his situation is more actively extreme but the main example of something hyth cant do is transformatio #which is considered preposterous to do in front of others most of the time so it seems like it wouldn't matter too much. maybe its moreso #that he sees others as better and more deserving and is constantly comparing himself and seeing others be better at him in certain areas #started to develop those esteem issues #siren says #funny post which is a trap for my character musings anyways #hythlodaeus

i love rewatching your animation memes because i'll see connections between them and my brain goes "WAIT A MINUTE"

for example i was rewatching the heaven says meme and looked at the description because i was like "hmmm, who's bleeding at the beginning?" then realized it was vis, and that prompted me to go look at his toyhouse (by the way, "guy who is really good at getting divorced" shot me into orbit), and THEN i was like "HOLD ON ISNT HE EIYA'S DAD??? IS LAXO STANDING OVER HIM IN THE BLAH BLAH BLAH PMV????" and now im excited to see what happens in the comic

like i feel like it's gonna be really satisfying once that part of the comic hits PURELY because of the setup in your memes/pmvs. like i hope watching your memes/pmvs then seeing everything play out in the comic being satisfying is the intention because it absolutely will be omg

hehe, thank you very much! thats very kind of you. when it comes to making videos about the comic i try not to focus on big spoilery comic events and more so on individual characters and how those events will affect them. they're sorta meant to be little teasers in that way! i suppose technically they're spoilers, but you still dont know how or why it happens or even what specifically happens since i like to tweak events slightly in some videos since they're from a specific character's perspective ;3

im glad that it makes you more eager to find out how it all goes down in the comic!!! that is absolutely my intention :D

#ask #anon #im glad someone noticed vis' toyhouse bio LMAOO im starting to be more active on there #im planning on giving my characters (or at least the main cast) properly coded bios soon but for now just uploading art will do #forrest speaks

welcome to cj/crispy's bi-yearly ptsd rant about fireworks, you are all safe and valid here and i am mentally giving out juice boxes and animal crackers

#last year wasnt too bad i barely remember nye tbh but OH BOY are the neighbors making up for it this year #they arent like super big or anything but they are LOUD and we're just rural enough that nobody gives a shit #like i cannot tell you how much i love the idea of fireworks and their history #but id also like to not have 12 consecutive minor panic attacks because the neighbors have some money to burn #it's worse around the 4th of july ’cause that also has the caveat of ''what tf are you even celebrating fuck you'' #and im much more chill when it's like families celebrating with their kids because i remember how much fun mine had #but there are no kids around us #they're all adults and i want so badly to just be like ''yeah you do you man im glad youre having a good time'' but also like #they have to sell specialised jackets and blankets and medication for pets for nye and 4th of july #we dont have too many veterans in our part of town but i will never forget that pic of the vet hiding in the subway with his hands over #his ears #i dunno man i know not every activity can be accommodating to absolutely everyone #but i also think avoiding loud triggering (for a bunch of different reasons) noises is like #doable #there are quiet fireworks #thankfully my cat couldn't give two shits about loud noises but /I/ give two shits about loud noises #shut up cj #to delete

like is there a word for "romance is NOT for me oh my GOD it's such a bad idea for the way my brain is built, BUT HOWEVER not every part of my brain has gotten the memo about this and nature still thinks it's funny to kneecap me with a crush every now and then."

#trying to find resources or stories about like. how to COPE when this happens #how to honor the way i feel without suppressing it but also without feeling the need to turn it into a romantic pursuit #also i know labels as strict boxes are only worth thinking about as long as they are helpful #and “im aromantic” is easier to say than “i have a complicated relationship with romance and a lot of emotional baggage and” #well i never feel justified using the word trauma especially because a lot of it was my own doing but #yes a lot of trauma i guess! #anyway #i still have this fear that calling myself aromantic is just a cheat to get away with not wanting to put in the work it would take to build #a real functioning romantic relationship #like is it cowardly of me to say “i am not gonna push my relationships past a certain point with people”. like am i depriving myself of #something i will miss? #sometimes it feels that way #but also #some of my strongest friendships are with people i actively chose not to romance #and i love those people and i am so glad to be friends with them #whereas the people i was most romantically involved with are now invariably bitter strangers #i don't want that. i don't want that with any more people i love #BUT. I DO WISH TO HOLD HANDS!!!!!!! #MY GOD A BITCH IS TOUCH STARVED

everytime i see dumb ass bg3 romance takes it just reminds me of how much i hate allos for fucking real .

#angel.txt #THIS IS LIGHTHEARTED BUT LIKE. argh #a lot of these wouldnt be such bad takes if more people had nuanced takes on romance and friendship or didnt see one as lesser than the oth #other*. whatever im so glad im not actively in fandoms and only see those icebergs on my explore page.

as a guy that loves getting into obscure media that like. maybe 5 people talk about now. it is interesting the difference between consuming media that is SUPER popular and everyone loves your fave (a curse i would never wish upon anyone. the posts will never be good) and a media that like. there is NO ONE actively posting about. it has barely any fan presence online. and honestly its kind of peaceful

#twist rambles #like. being into the wit/cher books and games and show (the good one. the hexer) was a hellish experience. there was such isnane shipping o #that old man everywhere. there were 5 million bad takes. there were ibs whump fics (which is a plus. more of those should exist). #and it was just like. 50 million incorrect characterizations of my faves. it made me a bit insane. but then irt vol/foss and gan/gsta #its like. peaceful silence. like gan/gsta actually well. has like a minor audience i just have a lot of the tag blocked bc racism is insane #esp when ur like wow ^-^ would love if this complexly written black character was treated half as nicely as the popular guy in that media. #it does not happen. but w vol/foss. there is NOTHING on ao3 (good for me due to loving to torture myself and friends w bad fanfic) and mayb #five posters in the tumblr tag. like NO ONE is really actively playing this that ik of. even on the jp side there hasnt been a ton of #interest for A DECADE. but its weirdly peaceful other than i CANNOT talk to anyone whos played it and go insane over how well its written #its so dire that ive contemplated emailing the person who made a rly helpful fansite back in. 2004 or earlier. and being like hi. thank you #nearly 20 years later lmao. like im glad both of those medias arent super popular BUT it does mean i rly have to make all the content for i #or pester chris for 5 million hours as im in the vol/foss agony mines. but all of that to be said. popular media is such a hellhole for fan #content most of the time. so its been weirdly nice to just be peacefully vibing. even w f/e im still on shadow dragon so its VERY like ok i #care abt this old man that everyone else doesnt like so i can just. peacefully exist.

i might cry over the comic you drew it's so charmingly made. you got the point right off the bat i really love your art style oh my goodness. thank you your work is really inspiring

Askghsjg I'm so glad you liked it!!! The visuals were beamed into my brain the moment I read your post, so I'm glad I managed to get the vibes down akfhskfh

#beastiebites #asks #sorry it took a bit for me to respond akfhskfh #got window replacement happening at my house so its very loud akfhskfh #i read the tags u left on the comic and im So Glad i got the angel's little crouching stance right cause i could just See It in my brain #also i should lowkey be thanking you cause ur post broke through my burned out brain and inspired me to actually sit down and draw akfhskfhs #so thank u for making the funny and touching angel post it has wonderful vibes and theres a high likelyhood I'll draw more comic panels #once my house is not an active construction project akfhskfh

Don’t know if you’ve heard about this new dbs arc and I just wanted to know your thoughts on it? Also, what do you think about the Trunks x Mai pairing?

I saw, yeah. I'm personally p ambivalent about it- I hope its good but I'll just keep my expectations low :T

And yeah I really hope they drop the whole Mai thing now. 1. It's weird but 2. Supers version of Mai is boring, so we get all the creep factor but none of the weird fun personality- so like what's even the point? Guess I'm glad F trunks gets to be (sorta) happy tho

But 'apocalyptic hellscape lady w a shotgun' should not be this hard to sell to me (눈_눈)

#no offense if you like mai #i get it. i wish i could #ask #ugh ok but as an extra bit #maybe im misremembering but mai in DB was like evil but also ridiculously.. shy(??) #thats not the word but like the whole pilaf gang thought blowing a kiss at bulma was like the ultimate embarrassing thing they could do #to the point of it bein like their idea if torture #when did mai suddenly have this overt interest in dudes to the point of talking like some pervy older lady #like what bulma says she sounds like #i mean i guess im glad they atleast had her interest stay almost exclusively on the adult version of trunks #but yknow then they hadta make it weird again by havin her actively decide she can just wait on this kid to grow up #uugghhh #like. they make her creepier than i remember her ever being #and it feels like tgey do this w no self awareness #like theres no joke and its not presented like an absurd thing its more presented like maybe theres hope for trunks and his misguided crush #annnnddddd i hate it #that creepy #they managed to make a former villian worse by tryin to shoehorn her into a spot onbthe heros side #lol i care so little about the new super stuff that most of this ask is me whining about a cartoon ship i dont care for

fuck offfff poor audio processing makes ppl flirting with me so stupid they'll be like hey you're pretty and I'll go ah 👍😐. or omg yeah! 🤘 or i just laugh bashfully without even knowing what they said until like a minute later. help help my default responses are making people confused and unsettled. and those are the same responses i give when ppl talk shit about me too it's not good

#ah 👍😐ahaha☺️yeah🙂 #met a girl in my childrens lit and bio class who called me beautiful (n) and love (n) and like we have said 2 sentences to each other #i dont thiiiiiiiink it was flirting? but my response was still the 'ok 🙂' #come ON man get it together #the other day the cafeteria guy. oh god the poor cafeteria guy. im so glad he thought i was cute bc i was failing that interaction so so bad #it's actually sickening. just blank staring and hm-whuh?? huh? oh sorry um. [doesnt answer question] #agonizing experience only to get the worst saddest chicken nachos of my life. yhey were so bad #like just staring at him trying to figure out how to ask for food and form sentences for like 40 secs per thing #yk like 4 little tub things. with food and sauces and stuff. head in my hands ughhh embarrassing #not his fault i dont think but somewhere in the middle of that he told me i have a pretty face and i think i just said like #'oh yeah' [actively mid-turn to my friend] [kind of half process it after] 'ahahha aww. thanks! (delayed)' #anyway if i was not mentally tapped out all the live long day a girl telling me 'move over beautiful' woulda like. destroyed me goodstyle #but again it doesnt sink in so like. it didnt. anyway if you're that girl ummm sorry lol not your fault #also your makeup is cool go crazy. if we become friends you will experience this more so. prepare #just. dying. tbf i'd been wandering underprotected in like 12°F weather for 20 minutes so my brain was like. reeling #wuhh-uhbuwhah? wh- ... OH oh yeah uh um like x and y are the (so true) um the. yeah 👍👍 #<- average you telling me things irl moment

#feel very umm #ive been home for a few hours just hanging out for easter #and my parents are arguing and like im glad i dont have to be around this anymore but #it still activates the little girl in me that hid in the corner of her room while she listened to them argue #i have such a vivid memory. they didnt know i was inside and my mom had just found out my dad cheated on her #i think i was like 5 and i heard the whole thing #they argued a lot at night too when they thought i was asleep #my parents are the kind of couple they definitely should have gotten a divorce <3 they did more damage to me not separating #fun fact theyre the root of all my relationship issues and fears!!! #whatever im so brave and tough and this isnt making me want to hide somewhere and cry like i did when i was little #trauma? is so funny cause like #logically this shouldnt bother me as much as it does #but just because i felt this exact feeling when i was a kid of course im still gonna feel it like i did then #and of course they started arguing the minute my sister left #when i was little they never argued when she was home #i was the youngest so i wasnt in school yet but she was. #so i had to hear it all alone #whatever im so tough #im gonna leave soon #tbd
