#just slightly too dark for me

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

I do not truly believe that Master Yoda would eat a youngling but given Grogu’s propensity to stuff his face with anything that wriggles while it wriggles (and ate the eggs of a sentient if I remember correctly?) I think the creche masters probably did have at least one scare when they misplaced a small amphibian jedi initiate

#i refuse to contemplate that he succeeded #just slightly too dark for me #grogu #yoda #jedi

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

#now. how on earth do i begin to tag this. um. #link #loz #totk #totk spoilers #light dragon #dragon link #loz au #totk roleswap au #there . i'll add more if they come to me LOL #um i can talk about some of my insps i guess?? might make another post too #so mostly i just dont really like turning him into 'light dragon but male' and giving him slightly darker colours or something like that #this also obviously isnt exactly like the botw dragons either though and its a bit more of a mix of other creature concepts i enjoy #since everyone agrees he'd have a farosh horn i wanted to make him a kirin/unicorn :) which is why his tail looks like that #aside from the obvious eastern dragon insps and what ive picked and chosen from the botw dragons #and obviously this looks a lot like wolf link. thats on purpose #i wanted to give him some fierce deity design refs too but because this is so dark/earthy they didnt look very fitting #but honestly you could do a whole fierce deity dragon design on its own i think #okay lots of tags but IVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE. okay. let me have this. #my art

disney be like "encanto maxed out our Women Muscles quota for the fiscal decade so she-hulk just gonna be a tall slender green person now"

#can you imagine the relentless exec notes lmao #mark ruffalo can grow into a zero body fat gym rat but kevin we have to make her fuckable for the maga demo #i dont really know the history of the character so this is me punching in the dark but it seems so off lmao #giving off those warcraft orc vibes #text #edit: unfortunately this made it into the fandom tags so let me reiterate. i am dissapointed in a very casual sort-of larger popculture way #i have no granular context on the character/her history/comics interpretations; i just know what the word 'hulk' means #and what ruffalo's hulk looks like #and what the general state of the mmo sex options debacle is. and it just sucks to me #the overall optics of all this. that is all #i mean she does look like a slightly larger green woman so why the CG at all? why make it uncanny? but that's a separate topic altogether #please just dont take this whole post too seriously

#for me personally i think it'd be a mix between humbug and the car #with just a dash of tbh+c thrown in for when i’m feeling particularly disillusioned and self loathing #i feel like i share humbug era alex's shyness and big dark eyes and propensity to be drawn to vivid and slightly uneasy subject matter #but also the kind of... idk how to describe it #the car era's quieter kind of self-knowledge and acceptance too #if that makes literally any sense #am i making polls again instead of confronting my writer's block? #yes #yes i am #polls #alex turner #arctic monkeys #lulu posts

tomorrow-me: I'd really appreciate it if you could drag your arse to the grocery store so that I won't have to get up early tomorrow morning to do it you know?

now-me, wrapped in a blanket with tears in my eyes: but I'm just a baby?? 😭

#listen i am so so so so so so so so tired 💀 #my landlord's coming for a visit at 11 tomorrow and i have nothing to offer him #but i'm too tired to think about what to buy for the weekend (for myself) #grocery shopping was a burden as it was but then they shut down my nearest store (200 m from my apartment) #and now the nearest one is just far enough so that i don't wanna go there just for a pack of coffee and biscuits #i'm so tired i just had to check how to fucking spell 'biscuits' 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #feeling slightly better now that i rested my eyes a little and drank a glass of water and ate a clementine #but i don't wanna goooooooo it's cold and dark and i don't know what i want to eat during the weekend 😭😭😭😭😭 #it's times like these i hate living alone / being single because i can't just ask someone to go to the grocery store for me #i should also clean up my kitchen and bathroom a bit #i know i'm so brave for doing shit like this all by myself but sometimes i really hope i wouldn't have to #sorry for whining about my little life on main lol pls ignore #i need no advice (but sympathy would be nice. an encouraging headpat even)

when people think anakin wouldnt have turned to the dark side if qui-gon trained him im just ?????

YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED PALPATINE???

i mean qui-gon took anakin to be trained cause he thinks anakin is the chosen one or this is at least a major reason why and like??? PALPATINE WOULD HAVE JUST PIVOTED LIKE

"it's such a shame my boy that the council and even your master only see you as the chosen one and not your own person"

"i hope that they trust you as a jedi and not just part of a prophecy"

"i fear that qui gon only wants you as the chosen one and if you weren't, you would never have left tatooine"

LIKE PALPATINE WOULD HAVE DONE THAT! HE ENGINEERED A WHOLE WAR JUST TO TAKE POWER AND QUI-GON BECOMING ANAKIN'S MASTER WOULD HAVE DESTROYED PALPATINE'S PLANS???

idk just gets on my nerves and feels like a slight against obi-wan who yeah wasn't perfect and the circumstances for becoming anakin's master weren't ideal but i think he was a great master and this idea also makes palpatine seem far less manipulative, cunning, and evil

the man once said he would gladly make vader again given the chance, even knowing how it would eventually end, so he's not stopping just because anakin has a different master

#sheev palpatine #emperor palpatine #anakin skywalker #qui gon jinn #star wars #just gets on my nerves #sorry to everybody who has watched me like anakin turn to the dark side #the dark side is becoming obsessed with star wars #i have not been this obsessed with something or a character my god i love anakin but yeah not since voltron #so that's saying a lot #also from what i know about the jedi apprentice series and extended universe legends stuff about qui gon #dude does not have the best track record with padawans #he is very unorthodox and yes does not end up like the rest of the order in that like vein of being an arm of the senate or you know #being so involved in politics even tho they're peacekeepers and a religious order basically #but i think the whole chosen one thing would be much more present and constant in anakin's life #with anakin being fed both like #the in canon youre super powerful omg such a great jedi #thing from palpatine but also yeah oh they probably dont like you or trust you which is canon too except for you're their chosen one #youd probably still be a slave oops sorry but yeah you probably would be #and anakin is mentally ill enough already that palpatine taking a slightly different approach wouldn't really change much #same results different method #now... the obikin fic ideas i can come up with with qui gon being anakin's master and how all that happens #now those are fascinating

I'm the only one serving cunt here omg I'm so embarrassed (I'm dressed slightly weird and feel astonishingly self conscious)

#i hate people perceiving me like how dare you #i should be invisible #I'm wearing dark green docs loose brown jeans a black button up shirt a black green and slightly blue sweater vest and #have dark green hair whilst everyone around me is in hoodies and tracksuits send help #im not hating on classic hoodie wearers i am commonly a hoodie wearer too just not today and now people are looking at me and #i should be able to just die instantaneously right now on the spot actually #i love dressing like this until i realise other people actually find it a bit weird #EVERYONE STOP HAVING EYES 😭😭 #oh and also a stupid little hat that i love #its not even THAT weird i just feel uncomfortable 😭😭 #i realy like green tho can you tell #is this relatable #lmao

I think i figured out increases with scales. i was over thinking it. if you'd believe it

#toy pic post #undescribed #crochet #art #scalemail #still. might look a little better in like. slightly bigger scales w the same size holes? and i need. to get. A Lot More Scales #as you can see here it used all 100 of my green metal scales and i had to dip into the plastic glow in the dark ones #i also need to crochet a little looser. cos to crochet w scales from the top down i gotta kinda. do them upside down and flip them? and if #i crochet too tight they dont wanna flip...and i cant do my usual trick of using a bigger hook cos this is the biggest hook i can use w #this hole size. anyway uh #the trick is astoundingly simple. first of all i do a scale every other stitch. and i do a half double crochet (usa terms) #and i do them every row. the half double seems to get me the height i want and work up pretty quick without getting too crowded #and then: get this. you just do the increases like normal. while still doing a scale every other stitch. and its just.....fine? #crazy shit #i was wayyy overthinking it and struggling

Honestly I'm SO annoyed they changed Misty's mane and I'm glad I'm not the only one. I loved the teal color so it was pretty jarring. It matches her cutiemark but that's all it has going for it. Sunny's mane going rainbow after the movie was bad enough, imo. But the butchered my girl Misty.

I completely get the symbolism as to why she dyed it and don’t actually mind her mane colors but yeah I do wish they kept her navy blue/teal colors

And never put the pink on her legs/chest/horn

Don’t get me started on Sunny’s mane I’m just- MMMMMMMMMM

#leafyheart97 #ask #I SUPPOSE cuz MLP is a toy brand first it has something to do with appeal but #little girls like blue too!!! #I think that’s just my bias cuz I love blue #but the character creator in me is also just #these colors look horrible together why would you put the pink there it looks so eugh #the only think keeping her mane/cutie mark from clashing horribly is the dark purples #and the slightly more orange tinted color #local idiot rants about character design

emery was just telling me on how he joined a pmd server and someone was spouting bs about "unionizing against chatot and his wage abuse" so she sent them my post explaining the system put in place by the exploration federation and it IMMEDIATELY got accused of being a romhack like girl are you fucking fr. people really are just this stupid about his character on purpose huh

#bwark #IT'S IN THE GAME!!! IT'S IN THE PHYSICAL COPY YOU OWN/CLEAN ROM THAT YOU PLAYED!!!!! #it's so frustrating you're literally just confirming that you don't want to look at facts THAT ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE GAME WITH NO EDITING #INVOLVED WHATSOEVER to justify your bias #to be clear this is not @ people who simply didn't read that board and saw post and were like ''huh. didn't know that'' like that's fine #also ik this doesn't matter it's just a video game but this is like an indirect insult to me #either saying that i can't tell the difference between my beloved physical copy that i've owned since i was 9 and a romhack #or that i'm an unreliable source with zero evidence to back thay up. what the fuck!!!!! #i love explorers but i hate explorers fans some of you have your heads shoved too far up your own asses (not about mutuals) #edit: forgot about time and darkness. ive had time since i was 8 so ive had explorers slightly longer than i originally said

i don't have a point here except ???, but i realized today that starsky & hutch episode the psychic a) was written by micheal mann of (among many other things) classic crime thriller heat fame, and b) contains a baffling amount of (references to) crossdressing. it's one of the two episodes that opens with starsky and hutch chasing a guy in a dress (which gives us the "well i don't know, you('d) look rather nice in basic black and pearls" starsky-to-hutch line), later on they interrupt a robbery being committed by ANOTHER guy in a dress (and grey wig, posing as an old lady - presumably with the intent to disguise his identity rather than express some part of it, but who knows), and THEN they meet a hot lady mechanic who among many fast lines says to starsky "i'm really a basketball player in drag. whatever turns you on, honey" (interestingly timely, considering starsky's earlier comment about hutch). and finally, not entirely related but also not unrelated, there's these people at a laundromat hutch hits up on his mad phone chase at the end of the episode:

so yeah. ???.

#haven't revisited this episode in a long time (if ever?) because maybe-THIS-psychic-is-REAL plots... are not among my favorite #(due south has an episode very similar to this and i'm blaming starsky and hutch for it. c'mon guys.) #but!! everything else about this episode is FUN actually!! slightly wacky lots of great s&h interaction and oooh that chase at the end #but i just. what's with this one thing. is this an attempt to be clever with a theme? as in. deception maybe. or you don't know what's real #or a kinder interpretation: there are things you may not understand in this world but that doesn't mean they're not true for someone else? #or is it meant as a recurring joke? is it literally pure coincidence? #did michael mann even write that first scene or did it come from the other episode that uses it and just got tacked on here #which suddenly makes this episode seem like it's Doing something when it wasn't supposed to #i have! many questions! among which is. why the hell was starsky in such a bad mood. what happened #... are you telling me he's psychic too and he had a deep dark feeling hutch was going to almost die later on? #i feel like i need to make a psych reference here but i haven't watched enough of the show to be clever about it. 🍍 i guess #* #starsky and hutch

Both Halfdan and Rethel have times where the Curse gnaws at their minds and starts pulling them into the same headspace as they had as Husks. Sometimes it's something small like memory problems or zoning out, sometimes they find themselves partially transforming and/or growing aggressive the way they would have with most any unlucky lost soul stumbling upon them in the Chasm.

#hc; halfdan #hc; rethel #//Heightened emotions tends to hasten/worsen these effects #//There are several times where gaps in their memories leave them so stressed it ends up with them shifting back to those forms #//And it is NOT recommendable to approach them in such states #//They WILL lash out thinking they're being attacked #//Halfdan has it slightly easier than Rethel; since he's lucky to have a Vision #//Rethel was shifted back due to Abyss Order's intervention #//So it's easier for her to succumb to it #//There are times they get EXTREMELY claustrophobic; sent into a panic within a certain space or around many others #//Rethel in particular can hardly stand being in crowds for very long before she starts feeling the urge to transform #//As if to hide in that headspace and let whatever her Husk's instincts drive her to do happen #//Will not feel too much remorse once she gets back to herself. Just a 'it was either them or me; and I choose me' & compartmentalize it #//For Halfdan; that happens when he finds himself in the dark & feels trapped in it; transforms to avoid dealing with his severe fear #//And woe betide anybody who runs into him in that state; he will NOT be merciful #//Best to carefully let him ride out the feeling and--carefully--work to change the conditions of the place #//Lighting candles; opening windows--sneak around to do so; bc if he catches you while in That state- #//The best solution is to calm them down/remove them from those situations BEFORE they've transformed #//It's the safest means to help them and will prevent the next time from being worse in the process #//Halfdan constantly has a Crisis abt if this means he is truly more monster than man; with how easily he transforms back into his Husk self #//Rethel has fully embraced she no longer is human; is prolly a monster now; but would strive to do no harm

Court of the Undying Seasons

NA high fantasy

demigirl volunteers to be taken by the vampires instead of her friend intending to kill them for revenge, but quickly learns that’ll be impossible unless she becomes one

she has to get through her training to become a vampire or live as a human thrall, and quickly gets swept up in their world - and discovers a string of murders that could have dire consequences for them all

#Court of the Undying Seasons #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #ok i was kinda hoping this would be more me than most things in its genre niche....but is just kinda is that #why is the main couple a thing? what is the attraction? i feel like I skipped half a book. you’re gonna kill him right #just really did not get that at all lmao. ur usual dark fantasy romance i gues #it’s kind of pitched as ‘she wants to kill vamps!!!’ but like. she immediately learns that’ll be too hard and basically forgets about it lo #i feel like the courts being named after colours reads. well you know it reads like the stereotype of YA with different factions to choose #but I guess I get that if they were called by their alt names it would have been a lot of confusing info to keep track of #the mc being a demigirl is pretty subtle #if you’re looking for it you can see the trans coding #but if you weren’t I feel like it might just read as girl who’s slightly uncomfortable with her appearance… #which is fine I guess. but just so you know if you're picking it up for that #also picked it up for ace side characters but like…. it’s not rly like the authors other books #there’s vague mentions but tbqh I’ve forgotten who is supposed to be ace #(probably because I read like 6 other books between starting and finishing this) #also genderfluid side character who is like. treated as two different people when they’re girl or boy version? #which is sort of treated as a vampire thing but i thought it felt odd #anyway all in all not entirely bad just not for me at all lol

*paws sadly at the high humidity percentage* please i just want to seal this blushing so i can restring dollbei jun and maybe also see if he’s still slightly shimmery from some of the pastels i used xD

#quill's bjd adventures #dollbei jun #he's an *ice* demon he can be a little sparkly if i say so xD #which i do because it makes me laugh #tbh i didn't *mean* for it to turn out shimmery but i'm not mad about it lol #i need to finish carving down the ear mods but good grief that is SO TEDIOUS #note to self: if ever doing another elf ear mod use LESS milliput than you think you need. #it's getting there though. i think i'm getting close to the point where i just need to sand it #they aren't perfectly even or symmetrical but that's ok. it's just for me and my first time sculpting ever #so given that i think they're pretty good #i also need to decide if i'm going to paint his nails dark or leave them slightly blue tinted as if he's in the cold #i decided to blush the tips of his fingers blue which obv colored the nails too and i was planning on painting them navy or black #but now i'm not so sure
