#dungeons and daddies #dndaddies #dndads #dndaddies s2 #dndads s2 #granco #marco li wilson #lincoln li wilson #grant wilson #grant li wilson #is there a ship name for grant and marco idk i just made one up #being able to see grants beautiful beautiful face becomes the motivational force behind marco finally getting glasses #also idk what possessed me to draw with a thin pencil for this comic but ooo wheeeee never doing that again for some reason i hated how this #looked for the longest time and it took me forever to be moderately ok with how it turned out #using a thick pencil is just so much easier #u can tell towards the end it started getting less and less detailed and more cartoony lol #also they got kicked out of their uni library idk if that was clear #they’re working on a presentation together #i love the idea of a meet cute where they never would game met or interacted except for oh no randomly stuck together at partners for a scho #school proj and then one of them catches feelings while they have to be around eachother #hehehe

I have to imagine something to this effect has been asked before, but how’d u come up w the name Smunker?

i dont like giving fursonas names because it took me forever to pick my nickname Cheye as a name for myself bc nothing else fit, I don't often like any other names for myself. And refering to a sona as self would be embarrassing considering I self ship with ocs.

So my sonas all have funny names like Skunker, Quacker, or no names at all, etc.

A few yrs ago this image was posted in a subreddit I was in and that was It

I think its funny ppl always send me this like no way...smunk..., bc this is literally the origin of me calling him smunker LOL

#long post #skunk mail #puertoricanskitter #rambling further abt names i feel it affects how i interact with em #in the past i gave 2 sonas names i enjoy as names but wouldnt give myself: atlas and phobos #and it always led to them just feeling more like ocs #i wanted to give my dog sona my middle name but then what if i didnt use it much lol (i dont) #so its unnamed still. ykwim? names are hard. easier to be skunker/smunker #his name actually is Cheye in world. like cow al and nyalon call him cheye more than skunker/smunker #but again‚ cant name him Cheye. wld be weird if ppl came asking questions about ''cheye'' instead of Skunker

*Tim beats Bernard in a game on their phones they have been playing back and forth*

Bernard: I thought you were an e-bae, turns out you're just an eboy

Tim, reaching a hand out, feigning remorse cause he gets the joke: bruh

Bernard: *same hand motions as the vine "I thought you were bae, turns out you're just fam" before he goes back to playing on his phone*

The rest of the Batfam, sitting across from them while this is happening:

Dick: he thought you were an online store?

Steph: probably cause Tim is as rich as ebay

Duke, someone who also still watches vines and is ashamed he gets it: he is calling him 'bae' like a romantic pet name, but added e in front of it cause the last half started with e, I don't think it was supposed to be like the store

Bruce, sitting there confused: what's an eboy?

#the batfam always provides ongoing commentary on tim and bernard interactions like they arent 5 feet away and can hear everything #bernard is a walking shitpost and the people around him just have to try to decipher what he is saying at any given time #but tim is chronically online so he has an easier time deciphering cause he too speaks their mutual love language of verbal shitposting #the batfam on the other hand... not so much- poor bruce is constantly confused every time bernard opens his mouth #batkids #batfam #bat family #tim drake #timbern #timber #dick grayson #bruce wayne #stephanie brown #duke thomas #incorrect batfamily quotes #bernard dowd

As a kid, I was scared of seeing Billy the Puppet's face. Ur amazing and lovely chainshipping helped me overcome my fear of watching the Saw movie. Recently watched the Saw 2004 for Lawrence and Adam then got mindblown how they r so gay in canon and it makes so much sense why ppl ship them ❤️ Also, surprised I never got spoiled from the movie's ending.

Hesitate to watch the rest of Saw movies tho because chainshipping is only in the first movie and I'm still sad over the Chainshipping angst 😭 So I'll be consuming fan content of them.

Sorry for the long rant. I need to talk about brainrot. Thank you for introducing the world to more Chainshipping art ❤️❤️❤️

ANOTHER ONE!!

#AWWW thanks so so much for the sweet and kind words!!! i’m glad i can make it easier for you 😭❤️ #the rest of the movies are so cool despite there’s no more adam and lawrence interactions!! the lore is insane #cool if you don’t wanna continue though!!! do whatever you like best 🥰❤️ #THANK YOU SO SO MUCH AGAIN!!! i love drawing for this fandom and im so glad for all the lovely support!!! ❤️❤️❤️ #asks #saw #chainshipping

what do you think about the theory that arya will mercy-kill lady stoneheart? sorry if you have already answered this

So I have actually already discussed this but I'm always down to talk about Lady Stoneheart. I think this is one of the few theories surrounding Arya that's actually rooted in canon but...it's not the way I'd personally like their reunion to play out. Lady Stoneheart isn't really "Catelyn" anymore, but she still has her memories and emotions; There are more interesting ways for her character to be utilized than being brought back only to be put down again because she's "too far gone". I fully expect her to die but there are more meaningful ways to go about it, like her dying while getting to save one of her children. The idea that Arya needs to learn not to be obsessed with revenge from her also falls flat because Arya...simply isn't obsessed with getting revenge. LS was warped by being violently killed and brought back to life, so Arya isn't in danger of following her path. I like to imagine that by the time Arya returns to Westeros, she'll have communicated with Bran and be able to tell LS that Rickon and Bran are still alive. Reuniting with Arya and learning that her sons are alive could give her some level of peace and she could ask Arya for mercy but...that just feels a little lackluster to me. After all that she's done in the Riverlands it's hard to imagine that she'd go out so quietly.

#ask #anon #lady stoneheart #catelyn tully #catelyn stark #arya stark #asoiaf #in summation can it happen? 100% possible #but I do think there's a chance that things play out differently and their meeting doesn't end with Arya giving her /mercy/ #also interested to see if Arya has an easier time communicating with her via her /hearing the dead/ potential #either way I'm excited to see them interacting for the first time especially after they've both changed so much

A little unpopular opinion on something I've seen happen more commonly throughout November/December and wanted to address quickly for my own blog: Please never hesitate to reblog anything from me. You see me reblogging a sentence starter list that you like? Go for it and reblog it from me directly without any pressure on you whatsoever to send anything into me before doing so. You like a GIF-set or musing that I reblogged? Nab it from me, it'll brighten my day to see that we share an interest in something. I like to see interaction between me and anyone who follows me. I like to see that little activity notification light up.

Honestly, it simply reminds me that we're all part of a community, and more specifically, a fandom that consists of characters and nations that we all came to love and then share that amongst ourselves. And honestly, seeing a reblog happen shortly after me but it's from the source, creates (in my opinion) an odd sense of chosen disconnect between people that can feel awkward, it's as if we're walking on eggshells as to not rub each other the wrong way. But what's wrong about going 'Hey, I see what you reblogged, I like it too!', it even gives you potential common ground to start a conversation. We're a community, and I don't know about you, but I like seeing people interact with each other beyond merely threads and notes. It's the little things that matter, after all.

#[ psa. ] seeing isn't always believing. and if you can't trust your eyes; you certainly can't trust rumors. #[ i feel like this whole 'reblog karma' rule has scared people so much into stopping with behavior that... ] #[ i think was healthy. interaction; no matter how small; makes it so much easier and comfortable for people to... ] #[ interact because you almost become 'familiar faces' through these tiny little asks. ] #[ the amount of times i've entered dms kindly/respectfully after someone's reblogged something from me-- ] #[ and the person and i proceeded to just gush about the reblogged fanart in question. or something similar. ] #[ which then makes any further ooc interaction so much easier and nicer-- the initial anxiety people may face is lessened. ] #[ because you've already found common ground. ] #[ like i don't mean to force anyone to reblog from me-- but it's like it's so obvious so often when people... ] #[ see something from you but then reblog it from the source. i dunno if it's just me but it feels odd. ] #[ it feels as if someone thinks reblogging from me would step on my toes or rub me the wrong way and i don't see?? ] #[ why that's a thing? it's so silly. reblog from me; feel welcome to do so. we all love this fandom. we all love our characters. ] #[ and each others' characters. it's why we interact; right? ] #[ any way. hi-- yes. i just mean never feel odd to reblog from me. if anything i encourage it. ] #[ i'll smile and nod at you in my activity; and you'll also pique my interest to be like 'hey! good taste 💙 ] #[ any way; i hope people are having a good weekend! ]

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Papyrus #Sans #This rainbow is all out of order - and so many negative glows ah :0 #I didn't mean for them to trend negative! They were just easier to imagine the expressions - maybe I'll take a second pass on the positives #Or in green's case the negative :') #Again in order of when I drew them so kinda all over the place haha #I wanted to go in order! And then I got distracted pft - thus started with red ow :( #Honestly I was thinking of it just being a surprise-pain more than anything lol - like a splinter haha that wouldn't even pierce him! #D'you think that eyeglows could also act like automatic word-responses? Like how we say ''Ow'' when we're surprised but not hurt sometimes #Silly haha #The second is a lot less silly-intended tho more actual pain #It's also sad to think that Sans' red would pretty much have to be sympathy/emotional pain :( #The kind of survivors guilt of not being able to shoulder more but he's so fragile! It's not his fault! #I am quite happy with both of their expressions there tho especially their mouth shapes - and how the colours interact with their eyes #Lineless colours are some of my favourites :) You can tell it's my pencils and not my pen there 'cause it's feathery hehe #For example Edgar's scars are usually with my pen and they have an almost hard-line quality while my pencils are soft :) S'pretty #Switched colours! I unfortunately misremembered what their meanings were oops lol #Well I got them kinda half-right - I like blue as skeptical quite a lot :D I think it suits them both! #Sans as wary and logical and wanting to keep distance to assure his safety and what he can devote energy to - I like it! #And Papyrus using his brother's colour to be grown up in the way that Sans is hehe <3 It's sweet #I misremembered orange lol I assigned blue's alt meaning of ''curiousity'' - orange is meant to be bravery! Oops lol #I think I was thinking of Papyrus' childlike excitement and wanting to know and be involved! Haha #Greeeeens <3 Happy boys happy with each other! I love when they're happy ♥ Interlocked holding hands hehe #Pinks! Along a similar line! I like pink as platonic affection :D And as embarrassment lol but hgg the sweetness! The care and love! #Is my bias showing lol - especially with the bros sleeping on each other haha ♪ They're both happy to know the other is safe! #Couple'a stresses - I like Sans' more I'm not even gonna sugarcoat lol his expression turned out so good haha #And the inverse for the purples! I do like Sans' face but his body :P Papyrus tho - he turned out sad and perfect :')

Me, a casual viewer of BFU: True Crime and Puppet History, clicking on the Making Watcher playlist: Oh, its so nice that the boys got to start their own company :)

Me, 40 minutes later, no longer a causal viewer after seeing Ryan Bergara talk about his anxiety and then almost cry on camera because he is so happy that his friend agreed to work at his new company: 

#ryan bergara #as that tweet once said #there is just something about him ya know #this is mostly a joke #BUT! #like i have a pretty solid no interaction policy with celebrities #i care about the character and not the actor #so i never felt the need to watch interviews or follow them on twitter or w/e #but now ive seen ryan get emotional and almost cry multiple times and im ?????? #i still dont want to meet him in person but i do want him to tell us about his day #and i hope hes having a good time in disneyland #and I want to leave supportive comments on all their videos #and i very much want him to succeed because A) I genuinely like their shows and B) hes just so nice and relatable #ive never followed a YT channel before but I do see now how it creates that feeling a lot easier than traditional media #because YT creators do depend a lot more on engagement and views #and they interact with the audience a lot more #anyway im being really dramatic about the fact that I dusted off my twitter account after 6 years just so i can ❤ watchers tweets #and then promptly created a patron account just so i could support them #this is just a lot more involved than i usually get #just rambling in the tags to sort out my own feelings

Hii I really like your art and comics. I also adore ghost peepaw leo, you clearly put a lot of love and work into him. I was wondering as to what made you decide to pick leo rather than donnie, who I thought was more suitable?

Im sorry if this comes off as rude, Im just curious

Ah, thank you! Don't worry, I didn't feel like you were rude.

I'm not sure why Donnie would be more suitable though?.. Because he's the tech guy? If we talking canon bad-future, he's gone, and I guess my other point fits in the list of why I picked bad Future Leo specifically:

The initial idea in my head was that I want to make a Ghost where you can feel like he's still lives in his world when he's not on your desktop

Having the Ghost be from the apocalyptic future means you can have options to help him out and feel like you're contributing to his world and your actions influence what happens back there

The whole initial idea was mostly 'imagine if you can pull a Resistance Leader, the person with so much pressure on his shoulders because he's not only fighting for his world, but everybody is depending on him because he calls the shots, right out of that stressful world to somewhere far away where he can relax and have a break'. And, yunno, that's fits Leo the best

Ol' man Leo gets most screen time and most mentions in the movie (not a lot... but the most out of all the bros)

Leo is... my favorite XD that probably also contributed (though believe me I adore all of the bros very much 💕💙💖)

Leo got his own opinion though.

#ask v #ghost future leonardo #rottmnt spoilers #if you mean donnie like of show donnie... it kind of gives me less ideas for interactivity too #*pats leo* this bad boy can fit so much angst potential into him #but also in round about way DONNIE IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL #WRITING FOR HIM WOULD PROBABLY BE MUCH EASIER FOR ME #but instead i was wrecking my brain with this ol' man

Uhhh y'all who do I draw today

#kv random stuff #yes I'm trying to interact with y'all idk how others do it so much easier

why do I not let them hang out more often honestly

#I mean I know why #Lae'zel left about 5 minutes into Act 1 on my Dark Urge run #I knew I was going to replay so I kept going #so actually getting to hang out with her is really fun #I still haven't finished the Durge run I just got distracted by this Gale attempt #mad lad is absolutely speeding through things now I know what to do and how to play #we've rocked up in BG proper to do tourist stuff with Lae'zel that I've never seen #and it's a delight #(and I am happy to leave Karlach behind mostly because as the only tank she's held up her end marvellously for Durge) #(but it does mean she and Shadows are just ALWAYS in the party so I rarely see other interactions) #also realising Durge has missed so much and is over a level behind where I am now even though they've many more hours play #this game is so much easier when you do the content :P #bg3 #bg3 spoilers

honestly seeing you mention sikh society is so funny bc sikh people LOVE showing their culture! i work with a lot of sikh men and they're always bringing food into work and just love being asked culture. im chinese and they're always asking questions as well- cultural exchange is such a personal thing and imo one of the easiest ways to build a relationship

literally!!!!!! and your last comment is so important bc the reason i made that post is bc i actually found myself guilty of the tiktok mindset WITH one of the chefs at work. he's spanish and has quite a heavy accent and for a long time i really dithered on asking him where he was from (bc all i knew from his accent was that it was european which. doesnt really help) and in my head i was doing it bc i didnt want to 'other' him, but in the end my mum actually said to me that being clearly uncertain around him and NOT addressing the fact we clearly come from different places was actually making things worse, and i was so so pissed off at myself bc she was right. and you know what? i asked him not long ago in the end where he was from, and he lit up. we went back and forth about the spanish and the english and we ribbed each other but it felt like the weird tension existing in all our interactions up until that point had lifted and now he makes a point to come over and chat to me at work. and that tension wasn't there bc i DISLIKED his potential culture or felt actually UNCOMFORTABLE around him, it existed because i demonised my own curiosity and genuine desire to know about him as a person and let myself be a little freak about it instead. like????? it's so fucked up that this is becoming such a normalised thing!!!!

#re ur ask: i have a lot love for the sikh society at my uni bc of what i said on that post like ive only been to a couple of the events #and one really notable time there was one happening for diwali and there was about 200 people in an auditorium for it #and i was the ONLY white person there. and i felt really... intimidated? out of place? just generally like i was overstepping #and that they wouldnt want me there. but the MOMENT it broke off into conversation and socialising and people realised i didnt know much #about the religion i had SO many people eager to tell me all about it and it was just so so genuinely nice and interesting #like you could really feel the love they had for their own culture and being able to witness that and learn about it is not only important #but is just genuinely one of life's little joys. and like you said and i was saying in this response: it made conversation so much easier! #culture is such a fundamental part of a person's identity of COURSE it's going to make interactions open up if you address it #ask

thinking about my beloved daedric girlboss today

#oc #oc: earanwen #tes #oblivion #sheowen is so. so special to me #fuck you *ruins your hero's redemption arc and makes her a chaos god* #the fun and quirky thing about her is that she actually is a very loyal and loving person and this copypasta is mostly lies #but she would like you to believe those lies because it would make things much easier #martin septim and llarala do not interact (please interact) #we interrupt the current hyperfixation nonsense to bring you this bastard woman. I guess

[thiefscant]

the thing abt anaistarion is that i DO absolutely Ship It and am excited to explore it in every form. but i’m p sure i’ve done a good job not forcing that on any of my mutes who write astarion. at least i have tried bc i get what it’s like to write a character who’s so popular and i don’t want my partners to feel like i only value them or their portrayals for the shipping opportunities. like just bc i’m upfront about my ship biases on the dash/in personal headcanons doesn’t mean i will forceship in practice, y’know? it was the assumption that i must also be doing that which rubbed me the worst abt the anons i received. i don’t like the feeling of being willfully misunderstood (or maliciously misrepresented). otherwise i just found them funny.

#esp since i’ve only talked shipping with two (2) astarion writers at this point #and both of those beloved mutuals took opportunities to approach me abt it first #as a possibility to explore etc #which i’ve been!!! eager to run with dgmw!!!! #but it’s like…i have not approached a single person first about this ship #but ppl saw me interacting with multiples of a character and got jealous ig #and it’s easier to assume the worst of someone you envy #than it is to confront your own insecurities triggering that feeling #anywhomst i love my partners and mutuals so much for being so amazing #ily all and am v glad to have cultivated the circle of decent folks i seem to have!!! #!a suspicious lack of dragons. ( ooc ) #blacklist for less soft nonsense. #tbd.

someone on here will literally say "encouraging plastic surgery for the sole purpose of conforming to eurocentric beauty standards isn't actually feminism" and 200 other people will come out of the woodworks and chant in harmony LET WOMEN BE HAPPY and WHAT ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE AND BURN VICTIMS as if the post wasn't clearly 1. about womens' self image & insecurities being strongly influenced by the richest and whitest of society and 2. not about trans people or burn victims at all

#ive thought about it a lot and i know the main argument is that it's bodily autonomy and also having it more widely available makes it #easier for the people who really do need it to get it #but like. first of all the industry (and it is an industry) spends SO much money convincing women their bodies look wrong #if it wasnt advertised everywhere and if the expectation wasnt there to look 'perfect' according to the most recent trends #the amount of women getting elective plastic surgery would be drastically lower #second of all. yeah having more surgeons out there means more experience and safer treatments for those who really need it.. #as long as they have the money #and for trans people as long as they have money and/or good insurance and/or all the required medical documentation and/or therapy #and at the end of the day you can criticize just part of something but not all of it. i feel like a lot of people forget that when they #start saying shit online. just stop and think and dont interact with people assuming the worst of them!! #when i criticize the beauty industry im never calling any woman who's ever worn makeup or gotten a facelift evil it's an INDUSTRY #it's systemic!!! #almost reminds me of how criticizing the patriarchy and systemic misogyny as a lesbian will get u painted as some man hating terf #i love men! i dont blame individual men for the system we're all a part of i just criticize its existence and try to work to dismantle it #and i know complaining on the internet is like a little raindrop in the ocean but still. it needs to be discussed i think
