#it took years to train him

[who-parties-on-a-tuesday]

I like the idea that Arthur is an impossible combination of gentleman and feral wild child.

His brothers used to just leave him in woods for hours if he was starting to piss them off (which was often).

He would come back home, covered in dirt with some dead bird in his mouth. Wales used to muzzle him after he tried to bite someone.

After many years, they thought he grew out of it. But on rare occasions, if Francis can push all the right buttons, Arthur will attempt to maul him.

#hetalia #hetalia headcanons #hws england #hetalia uk bros #hetalia british isle bros #it took years to train him #'this is my youngest brother carful he bites' #'just leave him in the woods let nature do it's work' #hws wales #he stopped biting after scotland bit back

It’s Spooky Month!

Decided to come up with my own little costume ideas for my favourite little group of block people.

Petra - Witch Hunter

Jesse - Phantom

Olivia - Mad Scientist

Lukas - Catboy Robot Assistant

Axel - Scarecrow

Funnily enough this is the first time this year that I’ve drawn them all as a group, let alone individually (excluding Jesse).

Anyway, have some more doodles and line art.

#i don’t normally jump on the spooky month train #but i thought i’d commit to the spooky month train this year #this took days to finish surprisingly #minecraft story mode #mcsm #mcsm halloween #unfortunately lukas can’t escape the catboy allegations #olivia won’t let him #also petra absolutely took the chance to bully ivor as a witch hunter #lukivia #it’s there but more so in the doodles #spooky month #mcsm jesse #mcsm olivia #mcsm lukas #mcsm petra #mcsm axel

Ik there are some Zephyr and Nuffink enjoyers out there and good for you /gen but i just cannot get invested cus...."Nuffink" ?????????

#Im sorry its just like. Hiccup would not name his son “Nothing”. he just wouldnt. #In httyd1 (and Riders of berk especially) Hiccup's name is a MASSIVE point of contention for him!!!!! #in RoB hes making constant self deprecating jokes about how his father is disappointed in him/doesnt like him #“He's looked angry since the day I was born.” #It takes until 'Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man' for him to realise his dad truly loves him. and stoick has to work for that too #When hiccup discovers the treasure of Hamish II he says “Hamish II was a Hiccup... just like me!” #And thats what gives him the confidence and understanding to realise his dad respects him #but it took 15/16 YEARS to get to that point!!!!! #Hiccup's name (again especially in Portrait Of Hiccup As A Buff Man) is representative to him about all the ways he is DIFFERENT #and how being different is isolating!!! #with all of that baggage he would NOT name his son “nothing”. he would NEVER . #nuffink haddock #zephyr haddock #hiccup haddock #hiccup horrendous haddock iii #hiccup how to train your dragon #httyd hiccup #httyd

his default recall is so cool..........

#not me arts tag #ive never used his default skin so i didnt even know what it looked like until now....ough #i wish u could mix and match sounds or recalls with skins................ #i honestly forget half the time hes supposed to be like. Cool and Suave and a Competent Badass #because my brain is always like. god hes so small and floppy and will die if you breathe on him wrong #also hes always crying and breathing heavily in my ear so im just like. poor guy #he should be at the bed taking a nap not fighting....... who made him fight.... stop that he doesnt belong on the battle field #he might be a badass hitman or smth but my brain is like #this is just a sad theatre kid who took gymnastics #''aphelios how is your assassin training going'' aphelios who has only been reading the acrobatics textbook: my what #is there anyone still reading these tags. hi there #i have a lot of thoughts on him. im very obsessed with his animations #like he has a laugh animation for every weapon....... #all the various weapon animations... #maybe the real reason we wont have a legendary for 10 more years is all the animating they have to do #i mean his base animations are so good id honest be like OK if they reused them #cant rly do much better than already Top Tier animations #unless we get an alune legendary..... #hope alune is super awesome and badass and all the aphelios voicelines are a really shy awkward guy or smth #like you look so cool and awesome fighting and the whole world doesnt know ur listening to a lil guy in your brain the whole game #the contrast would be very funny methinks #if anyones still reading this. yes i know riot made up some reason about budget or whatever for voices #but i choose to believe aphelios is head empty no thoughts and thats why he doesnt talk to alune #(STILL GOOFY OF A REASON... lots of VAs can do both genders of voices.... like. what about kindred and kayn....) #then again wouldnt be surprised if they were overbudget on the animations but still smh my head into oblivion #can relate to a guy who simply doesnt wanna talk #(said after 10000 tags of talking to myself) #i should really put my thoughts onto a separate post or blog or something #anyways have i mentioned i think hes really cute

You should tell us about Chilli and Giggel :3c

Hell yeah I can! Here are some recent doodles of them as a bonus:

[ID: Two art pages featuring digital/traditonal doodles of two ocs. The first has an oc named Chilli, a skinny, pale teen with long, golden and red braids that end in little skulls, side bangs resembling a skull, and a jacket dress. Train tracks and wheels decorate her outfit, and she's shown to have a prosthetic on her left foot. She's also shown to be able to shed her skin, her face resting behind her like a hoodie as her elongated skull beneath it surveys her surroundings. She's also holding a weapon resembling saw blades on a pole, and has a skull-themed train rushing by her in the background. Her little brother, Giggel, is in the second image- shown to be a short, pale boy with long, brown curly hair, freckles, braces, and bird legs. As a kid he wears a hoodie dress with a lock symbol, the hood resembling a skull when put over his head. There's also a doodle of him in his twenties, where he wears a dress with a skull on it and loses his pigtails, as well as grows facial hair. End ID]

-------

Chilli and Giggel are two siblings that live on the Skull Train, which just as it sounds, is a train with a skull face. It's perpetually running and consumes precious metals for fuel, can create new tracks on the spot and is probably alive. For Chilli, she can't stray too far for it or she literally dies, at least brain-wise; her body still remains alive at a certain distance from the train, and she can regain her sentience upon returning. She doesn't need to phsyically eat (the train getting fuel is enough), and has impressive regenerative powers that make it very hard for her to die.

As for personality, Chilli is a loud and cocky gal who takes things at face value and never apologizes for anything she does. Her self-confidence is highlighted in how she pretends to know everything and has no qualms in bossing people around.

Giggel is the younger sibling of Chilli and her only companion on the Skull Train. He's eager to please and mimic his sister, often being a partner-in crime to her schemes and idolizing her every descision. They're very close growing up, and are practically inseparable until Giggel turns 14.

After an incident where Chilli falls off the train and gets literally left behind as her body ceases brain function, Giggel finds himself alone with no idea where she went. About half a year passes before he finally decides to leave the train, despite being under the assumption that he's as succeptible to train distance consequences as Chilli was. However, he quickly discovers that he isn't actually tied to the train, and can go as far as he wants without issue. About seven years pass before the siblings meet again, Giggel now being a 21 yr old adult with a bike gang under his belt and a more pessimistic outview on life, and Chilli having lost her face as her deformed skull prevents her from wearing it comfortably. The meeting is less than ideal, as Giggel swapped his niave idolization for resentment, assuming Chilli abandoned him and lied about him being unable to leave the train all those years ago.

Chili's absence, however, is actually due to not being close enough to the train to regain brain function but close enough that her body stayed alive. Giggel kept the train close to where he thought Chilli left him in the hopes she'd someday return, and when he left the train still mantained the same loop as it continued to run. On the tracks where she was comatoased, her head dealt with the occasional trauma of being run over by other trains, and as her skull healed in an elongated shape and her facial skin tore off, she remained unmoving and practically unaging for near a decade. When she finally came to, her new look remained and she began to search for her brother. In the following months, her body ages quickly to catch up and she goes through the arc of growing up and seeing her brother, no longer the little starry-eyed kid that sees no fault in her, have his own life and opinions outside of her boastful guidance. This harsh reality check ends up humbling her, and the siblings reconcile and start building a relationship anew.

#i forgot to mention that theyre not blood related and the reason giggel isnt affected by the train is because of that #chilli literally just found him as an orphaned kid and took him under her wing. she was lonely all alone on the train so she let him stay #Giggel is also the name Chilli gave him. As an adult I think he changes it but not sure yet #chilli comes back to life practically the same as she was before she fell but basically becomes a diff person q year later #with her world view shattered as someone who can do no wrong and the world changed in the time she was gone. shes basically a new person #ocs #character design #my art #chilli #giggel #skull train

thinking about the mlm and transmasc rep situation again and i think the thing that gets me about it is how exceedingly easy and completely inconsequential it would be for a single writer to just sprinkle in a bit of rep. like a bulk of the queer rep we already have is via random npc dialogue out in city maps or festivals or something and is not even voice acted. you literally have to change NOTHING and dont even need to pay for extra voice lines to just change a single pronoun or word in some npc's pop-up text from "girlfriend" to "boyfriend". this is not a replacement for centered, featured representation with actually memorable chararacters played by queer actors or so on, but it'd be SOMETHING and it's amazing in a sad way that we have like actually nothing right now

#my stuff #sorry this is one of the very few gw2 things i still start getting a little tilted about #they should make chul-moo gay i think. #he has kind of a Quality to him #edit: forgot my train of thought hang on #i forgot to say that part of why this would be so easy is that its how this happened in the past #sya was added to the game by a dev named teddy who im unsure if she still works at anet anymore #(im unsure if she still goes by teddy but thats what i remember her by so) #teddy herself is a trans woman and wrote in sya when she was assigned to add npcs to the new lions arch #teddy worked on a number of areas of the game over the years and she was ALSO responsible for the onscreen kasjory kiss #(and also for making raids work. which isnt lgbt but like good for her) #so it was this one dev who was trans and iirc gay? maybe? who took it upon herself to add the rep she wanted to see #which is so fantastic and i just wish like #that we could get More Of That #its possible that anet doesnt have mlm or transmasc writers atm but i feel Doubt about that #i think a lot of it has to do with games still being a 'boys space' and making mlm rep a hard sell #its sad

The way the "Brucie" persona falls apart with the slightest in universe digging because DC hates timeliness that make sense leads me to wonder how many people genuinely think Bruce just gave himself a lobotomy.

#batman #bruce wayne #dc #because like. bruce dropped out of med school and then did up to 1-3 years of training around the world right #but bruce ALSO adopted dick when bruce himself was pretty young right? #so like lets say 25 at max bc your twenties are a goddamn nightmare but you dont really have the excuse of youth at 26 #so. if bruce graduated hs at 18 that would be 4 years for bachelors right and then lets say 2 years of med school before dipping #and then add anywhere from one to tbree years for training #lets also say a six months to a year of going out as batman #and uh oh. you hit the 'youre in the later part of your twenties.' #so bruce is a smart cookie #lets say he did he bachelors in 2 years and then tbe med school #then lets do a year for training and it puts him at 23 turning 25 when he took dick in #which works #but also - that means itd be very easy information to acess. graduating in 2 years and then getting into med school #is like... a big deal? you cant just fake that. money cant just do that. his professors and classmates and friends would remember him #the uni/college he went to would deffo brag about having bruce as an alumni #bruces incompetent playboy himbo manslut act kinda doesnt mesh well with that like. at all. #and you know bruce was a weird fucking kid as well #okay time to bring tags to close all im saying is that there has to be a non inconsequential amount of people #who believe bruce wayne gave himself a lobotomy during a grief fueled mental breakdown in med school and the reason he acts Like That is #because of brain damage

Making the decision that Helia and Riven have actually known each other for a while and, despite the fact that they don't hang out much anymore, got on well when they were younger

#this is mostly bc i like the idea that Codatorta found riven and was like “this kid has skills” so he took him in and then Codatorta #was also personally training Helia at the time bc like he's Saladin's grandson ofc he was. so they learned to fight together and then grew #apart over the years #this actually made me so excited upon first thinking of it you have no idea like it was crazy. I was crazy #winx #winx club #winx rewrite #winx riven #winx helia

#Anyway work was dumb today but i had invited my coworker (the 20 year old) to go to this concert I won tickets to after work #cause conveniently the concert was like two blocks from our job yay and she wasn't leaving town for the the holiday like basically everyone #I know and thankfully the concert was 18+ not 21+ but she was like... so excited to go with me and she loved the opener she said he was the #best opener at a concert she'd ever seen and I was like oh that's such a nice thing you should tell him and so she went and told him and #he gave her stickers and she was excited and she liked the headlining artist too and because I won the tickets I was also supposed to get #merch also and so I waited in the merch line and told them I was there cause I won and they were SO EXCITED and gave me free merch and I wa #gonna buy a second thing and they made me take that for free too?? And the artist was so excited I came I was like... have people not shown #up? And she said people had not showed up for their free concert and merch ??? Wild to me #but they were just so nice and and my coworker took my picture with the artist and sent it to me and we walked to the train station and now #I am home lmao but it was just so nice

i know he said infrastructure for future conquering but 100% eggman thought he was being ingenious planning out sentient trains lying in wait across the land to trap his nemesis. completely forgetting his nemesis is sonic The hedgehog (guy who can run literally anywhere he wants to go)

#that’s why he was so surprised and late to catch up. took him like an hour to notice these notifs going off and remember OH YEAH THAT #THING I SET UP LIKE A YEAR AGO huh. damn sonic actually got on a train. weird. whatever killing him timr #pleasant surprise when he’s already dead agshdjd. imagining eggman on the monitor in the dining car just staring at his body like. huh #text✨ #the murder of sonic the hedgehog

. anyway after writing the tags 4 this post i told my research partner i will no longer follow his dreams lmao. still helping w it but i need to engage in research that i find satisfying

#i think ive been waiting for something for a while and i will spend the next year waiting for it too #i thought i felt panic but i have decided to read it as anticipation. the thrill of rejection or of moving forward or the latter as #a result of the former. i left you with your backpack unattended in the cafe because on fridays i am done #putting my life on hold for another whim-without-a-warning #this cross country service is delayed by 26 minutes so i will grab a bucket and start shovelling the water away from the tracks #everyone is moving on in some different way and im sorry if you think im mean for telling you getting so drunk will disable you from #recording your brainwaves effectively but it seems like you think i owe you an awful lot. one year ago in four days my friend got me hegel's #science of logic for my birthday and i thanked him for proving to me the existence of things this is what i do he said #and then he will spend the rest of his life breathing philosophy and i dont want to spend the rest of my life #breathing someone elses dreams i wait for the moment of realisation. this is now a 30 minute delay. i was supposed to worship beautiful #things and that is what i will do. i think i have a best friend and i know i have a lover and i know to #restrict my love the way you have. im sorry. i hope you understand when i tell you. i am now sitting on the floor in the luggage section of #this incredibly busy train and i saw a photo of her with her boyfriend and her hair in braids smiling like a fool this is the #except a week ago you told me you almost took too much this time to live. you are a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul and you know you #have already changed the world and it somehow was not enough. now you are smiling without any makeup on next to him #and yesterday you cried in an airport in the states when you were too full of love. this is the most extraordinary human being i have met. #tomorrow he heads off to princeton while his best friend heads to harvard. he goes there to make the world a better place. he is the most #extraordinary person i have ever met. the issue with human beings is that we are incredibly good at almost dying and keeping going. #you try to kill yourself and publish a paper and give a talk. you negotiate the seperation between your own parents and submit another #phd application. i am surrounded by extraordinary people with extraordinary minds and incredibly broken happy hearts. #i only see you smile when you talk about robotics. i still dont know how manifolds work and i love the concept anyway. i dont know. #i do know that i refuse to live unsatisfied. #you can keep drinking. im going to drink this reality up #i think i was a horrible person and i refuse to engage with that mentality again no matter what it takes.

I watched some of the DCAU 'Batman: Death in the family' while reading the B:DITF comic and tbh I don't really like the DCAU version. like I get their different stories but why not just have the Sheila plot point? Idk I just feel like I'm connecting more with comic Jason, he was just a kid who wanted to see his mother and she betrayed him. in the DCAU it's kinda like their saying 'ah well thats what you get for running off should listened'

#also why does Jason Todd's dad have Lady Shiva in his address book? idk that seem weird I guess if he needed to take a hit out on someone? #also the idea that lady shiva could have maybe been Jasons mom is funny. bruce coulda found two of lady shivas kids and another was trained #by her. if they went with that bruce and shiva shoulda just had shared costady of all the kids lol #ok now im watching under the red hood.....is death in the family just utrh bruce addition? i dont like it. and still no Sheila? #plus after jasom death its like batman didnt care. in the comics (a lonely place of dying) you see him grieving. thats why Tim went to find #dick to be robin (and then dick couldn't and Tim took up the mantle). like idk its like the dcau got a summary of DINTF and ALPOD from #someone who only likes action and hates the emotion in comics. #if i only watched utrh id be with jason on the*why dont you care about me enough to kill the joker*things bcz i dont see any morning #like i see a vague *i just got out if a 6month body cast* things from the joker or something #comics bruce was calling kids jason crashing a planes like having a big enough grieving process that a 13 year old had to get dick for help #dcau utrh is better than ditf so far i like the action and stuff but i like the comics better #comics #dc comics #robin #tim drake #batman #red robin #bruce wayne #dick grayson #jason todd #red hood #dcau #nightwing #under the red hood #death in the family #i like bb jason tho when he was in the og costume that was cute #obligatory this is just my opinion dont kill me for this i like jason and all the batkids bcz some if yall are wild

We did barn hunt for the first time in over a year and Mav absolutely rocked it!

#dogblr #maverick #dog training in the tags: #i find it so interesting how mav processes what he learna #he doesnt like doing multiple reps of anything #even now i can only get 3-5reps of a behaviour before he decides hes done #but if i practice something once or twice and then leave him to think about #and come back days or weeks or months or apparently even a year later #he usually comes back and does it perfectly #(or at least very competently!) #a year ago he was hitting on any tubes out of uncertainty and frustration #so we took a year off #we started another barn hunt games class tonight and i figured itd just be sniffy enrichment - if he hunts great and if he doesnt whatevs #but he hunted like an old pro #he got all his gerbs and didnt hit a single litter tube #it was cool #i know 'take a break and come back to it' gets said a lot in dog training but i feel like it isnt actually practiced a lot #either you try to power through or you give up forever #but with a dog like mav its a really critical piece of advice #and mav reminds me of that time and time again #(with the weaves with jump sequences with barn hunt with general handling with pivots with stays etc etc etc) #hes such a cool dog to work with #it was hard to figure it out but i think i have him hashtag hacked at this point #i love him
