#it really is ……. just like on succession

[stil-lindigo]

the machine.

a comic about being a 'creator' online.

creative notes:

#in light of recent online 'success' i feel like this may come off as ungrateful #just wanna say that all the comics i make in this series are written about experiences i felt in 2022 #which was a rough year personally and creatively #and i very luckily don't feel this way anymore #and this also isnt to shame anyone who DOES feel this way #its easy to start to feel like all you are is a vending machine of art #and like thats all you are to people #theres nothing human to you #it can be a bit of a pit #and on some level this damage is self inflicted but social media really doesnt help that feeling #this wont work for everyone but having friends around you who you can talk to about stuff that ISNT art #going outside for dinner #maybe walking around #its good for when you need that feeling to go away even a bit temporarily #youre a human being #not a mindless content creation machine #and i hope anyone who feels like this now can get to a place where they have a healthier relationship with their own work #good luck to all of you #and thank you for reading #comic art #its 10pm #stillindigo art

hey. dont cry. 1 million autisms on earth ok?

#maddie moment #highlight reel #autism tag #1k #5k #10k #15k #20k #seriously tho as an autistic teenager when i realize that there are so many autistic adults that have grown up and succeeded #and not in the corporate success way in the personal happiness way #like people who have good support systems and jobs that they genuinely enjoy #it just makes me feel really happy because that means i have hope too #sillies

At the end of the day, they're still just little kids making noise outside his office.

#I am unwell #the sibling moments here were so strong and like. its because they've never really grown up. it's a game. king of the hill. kendall loses #and like a little boy he shouts and begs and bullies. but it's time for the grownups to talk now. and he just isn't one. they're all #bullshit. they're not serious people #and romans the only one to even kind of realize that. he's literally dressed like a kid for half the episode. he knows its all fake and tha #means he's the closest to actually moving on #kendall roy #shiv roy #siobhan roy #roman roy #logan roy #succession finale #succession season 4 #succession

[bluegiragi]

kinda random but erm this fandom had genuinely changed my life and I’ll never be able to properly express how grateful I am that you guys like and support my art 😭

#im so thankful like all the time really #idk how to say it really but like #I have bad days where I just think it’s all gonna fall out from underneath me and my art is actually annoying #and I don’t deserve any of this success #but you guys are sooooo relentessly nice about what I put out #and I’m just grateful yeah that’s all ajdjdjdjs

steddie relationship reveal coming not from the kids walking in on them or accidental pda but because Eddie's combat balance suddenly gets better and they realize it's cause Steve (the better strategist) is helping him with the combat prep. They know it's love cause Eddie threatened to shave Tews and blame it on Dustin the one time he picked up the wrong notebook/no one gets to see Eddie's DnD planning

#steddie #is this anything? #idk eddie just strikes me as the every fight could be a tpk sort of dm sometimes #i think steve would make a good combat dm cause more than strategy he understands that motivations arent always in line with the smart play #like a really good murph battle scene sometimes our motivation and measure of success shouldnt be everyone on the field is dead #sometimes it should be our whole party is alive and weve maybe also achieved a second objective like loot or saving an npc or something

yeah we’re right to make the dickmatized jokes about stewy going against his better judgement to back kendall Again. but this time it’s honestly fucking miserable. stewy has been trying to get kendall out since the beginning, since before the beginning, and then here he is at logans funeral and kendall wants back in. stewy backing him for ceo, yes was him letting kendall pull the friend card and yes was him letting his feelings cloud his judgement and yes was him being dickmatized to a dishonorable degree, but its also like. logan is dead. logan is dead and the company’s not in family control anymore and ken is halfway out the door and he has something good going on. logan is dead and one piece of paper has kendall diving back in. stewy’s been trying to get kendall out of logans control from the start and logan is dead and ken should be free but they’re at his funeral and kendall wants back in. ‘ken is your head on straight?’ genuinely i was surprised that he backed him because stewy wouldnt. because it makes bad business sense and because stewy doesnt want kendall at waystar in the first place. ‘what in it for me, ken?’ he wouldn’t do this but at this point its a resignation. its a last resort. i couldnt get you out when he was alive and now he’s dead and i still cant get you out so i’ll help you get it in because this is the last way i know how to help you at all. ‘i dont wanna live in a haunted house, kendall tells stewy, unaware that he already is, oblivious to the ghosts lurking around them both. they were fucking right. it IS around them both. in kendall’s haunted house the ghost is logan. in stewy’s haunted house the ghost is kendall.

#to now know the context of ‘around them both’ is to know suffering #the kenstewy scene really was just….like everything happening in it had me on cloud nine but i was also just. so fucking sad #and i couldn’t put it into words #like the resignation of stewy after ken tells him about the paper…….. #’ken is your head on straight?’ just felt like ‘ken are you in there?’ #jesse armstrong im in your walls #succession #succession spoilers #kendall roy #kenstewy #stewy hosseini #m

#succession #web weave #kendall roy #it's about the not knowing who you are once you stop filling that role you thought you were destined to fill #it's about trying so hard to be the perfect son you lose yourself in the process #it's about always defining yourself through what everyone else tells you you are. and only through that #it's ALSO about how kendall literally sounds like ken doll but maybe that's just me #and it's just interesting to me how this is a big theme in the show🔝 despite him consistently being the most self-aware out of #everyone in his whole family. or maybe precisely BECAUSE of that #wait full disclaimer. I have no idea where the 2nd quote is from I found that on tumblr. sorry #it just fit really well …. that’s him …

[meshimellow]

yeah i watched schmucksession i know ALL the characters. ronald. kimball. carter... and siobhan roy of course

#succession #kendall roy #connor roy #shiv roy #siobhan roy #roman roy #meshi art #really nothing doodles i have drawn succession before a handful of times but it just doesnt speak to me artistically #like it does for a lot of people #ive seen craazy succession art

“It could be that the loss of her children drove the Queen deeper into her darker desires...but, I don’t believe she was fighting against them that hard before that particular tragedy. No monster does.” (Patreon)

Bonus:

Hmm, wonder what he could cover those holes with :3c

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #Fellplates #UkaGaster's answers about Toriel really interest me :3c #As evidenced by the quote caption lol - but his other ones are very interesting too! Since it sounds like she's still around! #Poor classic Handplates!Gaster believed Tori dead for such a long time while she was at the Ruins #Meanwhile Fellplates!Gaster is just like ''? I saw the Queen last week she threw me into the pricker bushes? -.ò'' lol #But anyhow lol ♪ The implications that they're still in each other's vicinity really makes me curious about their relationship! #And how Toriel might react to knowing that someone - someone other than her - is having So Much Success on one of her sore spots #Not just of having children but of the constant reminders of Gaster's success where she has to live every day with a heavy heart for her own #Being cruel to him over it - well that's just par for the course isn't it ♪ #He mentions that she's much more of an emotional sadist - insulting him and then making it Very clear that she does Not approve of the holes #''They're ugly and you should feel ashamed for drawing so much attention to something so unsightly'' #I do think that her knowing that he's so intent on being kind and merciful and then twisting the knife on how much he's hurting her- #Making him feel guilty for daring to even attempt the betterment of all - for giving pieces of himself away and try to be a good person #''If anyone will break my spirit it will be her'' :) #Although that's all assuming that Toriel even knows about the brothers! :0 When I thought about it later it'd make more sense if she doesn't #It was still too good to not do something with the idea hehe - but imagine her betrayal if/when she found out tho she'd kill him on the spot #Gosh I haven't drawn Tori in foreeeeever I can't even remember the last time #Doing a/nother study on her would probably be fun haha she's rather plain how I draw her currently #I wonder if her Fellplates version would also wear reading glasses hehe #And the bonus :3c Where are the plates featured in Fellplates? Surely it's not just called that as a reference right ♪ Hehehe

#marshall d. teach #blackbeard #blackbeard pirates #one piece #whitebeard pirates #my art #so sometimes i think about how teach stayed on WB ship for close to 30 years #now i know he was fighting and doing his part but still he never tried particularly hard and he was basically living under his dads roof #for his entire adult life #and would have continued to do so if not for the yami yami no mi #anyway after talking with a friend it got me thinking about him as a neet so there #really loose concept and this is just me procrastinating but kind of funny i thought #neet au #about marco since someone mentioned. since he was ship dr and 1st commaner i wouldnt consider him a neet #marco had a lot of responsibilities while teach was just a regular member #so marco would be the more mature and successful older bro #anyway with this i finally drew bb with tired eye bags #like this man doesnt sleep. he should look tired as hell #i feel like im going crazy #i want to draw highschool luffy and discord mod teach having a brawl on the street

Gem’s bloodlust is genuinely scary and unsettling and I adore it and her so much

… I hit tag limit on this and I’m not even close to done spilling my thoughts in the tags so I’m going to post so I can copy my tags into real text and keep writing them

#I can’t imagine facing her as one of the uninfected when she’s got my heart rate up just watching from her perspective #she’s a hunter #I’ve written something before about how she talks about murder in the same excited tone as cute decorations #and people sometimes underestimate her because of it despite her reputation as a good fighter #but she’s not a fighter she’s a predator #she’s a hunter and even watching from her perspective sometimes it feels like she’s hunting me #she’s hunting All #and it’s exciting and fun for her #and she needs her pack to some extent but when it gets too big she needs to split off again #idk what’s going on in these tags it’s just. hnnghhh. Red Gem #or even before she went red #just bloodthirsty predator gem reveling in the thrill of the hunt #it’s not nearly as much fun on your own but once you’ve killed a couple people to your side and have the numbers to terrify people #you can do that. you can circle around your prey and corner them and terrify them before you kill them #and it feels like power and it feels like a game and it feels like fun #because it’s not life or death it’s success or failure #but maybe everything is a game to a creature like gem who hops between worlds at will #what if she could leave secret life at any time #like she could hop between empires and hermitcraft at any time #if she can leave then she really is just there to have a chance to enjoy the hunt in a setting where it’s expected #encouraged even #death games as a way to satisfy her bloodlust so it doesn’t spill over someplace where it might Actually Hurt #death games to take the edge off #death games to get a chance to reveal the fangs behind her grin and the sharp points of her antlers #we call her a deer because that’s the closest thing our minds can connect to her appearance #but she’s always been a little too Other for that #oh and now the Void has taken root in her too #it’s claimed her eye and arm #maybe it helped guide her aim #or maybe she’s always been a creature of the space between worlds (what with the way she hops between them)

It really is incredible the way succession will keep showing you just how amoral and callous the Roy kids can be and you'll hit the point where you start to question why you're even watching anymore because they're all just so awful, and then they'll do something so pathetically human and broken that you can't imagine ever looking away or not caring anymore. The writers always seem to know exactly when to stop and it's genuinely stunning.

#like it really is stunning #every time i think I've reached my breaking point it reels me back in like a rubber band getting stretched further and further and #just when you think itll snap it springs back into place #jesse armstong you madman #succession #kendall roy #shiv roy #roman roy #connor roy

[givemeureyes]

succession is fun because no one is going to break the cycle of abuse and you know this and yet you still tune in every week hoping they will break the cycle of abuse

#and every week that hope dies a little bit #this ep solidified it for me idk #it just really hit me that like oh fuck there’s no happy ending for any of them #they will die cold and lonely and miserable in shoes too big for them sitting on a throne made of lies #just like logan did #succession #succession s4 #connor roy #kendall roy #shiv roy #shiobhan roy #roman roy #logan roy

#mine #doctor who #dwedit #peter capaldi #alex kingston #(and greg davies' head) #i think i'll just keep tagging him like this whenever i gif this episode lol #flashing gif #so today the hot chocolate festival started and i went downtown for some!!! #it was a black forest hot chocolate and it was very good #but i really went for the croissant and i got a black sesame one and it was so good #i also tried to do some report cards today... kinda successful? #i'll try again tomorrow though sigh #very excited to try more hot chocolates though

Redraw of one of my favourite moments in Succession because Roman's my favourite and I wanted to practise drawing him but then I got too involved and turned it into a whole comic and I don't even really like how it turned out but I spent too long on it to not post it 😭

I wish I could do something more creative than just redrawing scenes from the show but I find the characters so difficult to write 😭 like I'm genuinely jealous of people who can write good fanfiction of them

#NO SPOILERS i still haven't finished!! #succession #succession hbo #roman roy #gerri kellman #succession fanart #romangerri #i don't ship them but this scene is objectively a bit romangerri so i wanted to tag #comics #my art #considering i wanted to practise drawing Roman #this was actually a really annoying scene like his hair doesn't usually look like that #at least i can draw gerri now #i hope the composition/movement makes sense here i had to adapt the scene for comic form #like i put way too much thought into this #and it took me like 9 hours to nightshade #these two make me insane actually #love how he says “it's a lot to think about” at the end #like what is there to think about?? what has he even said?? #i headcanon this was a real proposal #he just talked himself out of it once she didn't say yes
