Also uhm a bonus and a little lore drop I'd planning to make for a while undercut ehe
Tada this is Riku's actual eye colour! Much similar to Mitsuru's :3 He wears eye contacts throughout a lot of Captain AU's story and if you ask him why he will give you a different answer every time ehe
the way that when nimona tells her made up backstory when shes telling off ballistor for being a dick but she still starts with the same building blocks, she's young and small, she finds a well, and makes a wish.
she just misdirected what that wish was, to not be lonely anymore
tbh the more i think about it, the more i just dont want to post my art on tumblr anymore.
i think i might be done for real. at least on this website :/
this is so frustrating
genuinly the only reason i havent deleted is because reblogs forcibly archive ur stuff
and its not even about whether i have been scraped (im sure i have)
but its more so about the feeling of the expoloitation built into the fucking TOS, i have zero faith in the "opt out" option, it's probably just a cosmetic.
So to "protect" my art for the simple purpose of not getting fucking exploited by the very same website, I "must" glaze, nightshade if possible. maybe add a readable watermark with good font, so I can be found more easily and whatever.
But for what? slightly more visiblity?
ppl only like, barely reblog, let alone leave comments, whether tags or replies.
If I wanted more visibility I wouldn't be drawing 200+ artworks of my niche rarepair. or mod the rarepair's server, run events.
This is all a hobby;
I don't earn money, I barely made even last convention I attended and that's only when not counting my travel and food costs.
I get what people mean when they want you to keep fighting and post art.
But it's so fucking frustrating for seemingly no one to realise how exhausting this is to deal with!?
for virtually no payback too.
sigh
yeah i think im done with posting art on tumblr
and will slowly move off this site.
if it's not clear yet when I am quoting something that has people talk telepathically that's normally indicated via italics I'm using "::" as quotation marks to make it easier to see what's dialogue. The actual physical book is not using "::" as quotation marks, it has italics.
I have succeeded in making mostly invisible progress! Specifically, I went back to, well, almost all of the individual drawings and re-did them in an effort to make Cuff less... jiggly. It didn't work, but along the way I came up with an idea for how I might possibly keep him sufficiently skrunkly and solid! :D
Basically: put every single Cuff loop on its own individual animation layer :) That should help me keep them consistent in size and shape. Idk if that will make more or less work for me, but I care less about that (because I find this process fun) and more about whether or not it will work. And it should! Maybe! In theory! We'll find out together :D 💜
oh my god i'm so in love with all the fic ideas you talked about, but especially the last two with the castles kidnapping matt in like a friendly and well-meaning way. it's so funny to me and also the dynamic here would be absolutely excellent. never realised i needed a pro-crime hyper-competent maria castle in my life but apparently i do???
the dynamic in those, but especially the christmas one, is fucking hilarious. i love it so much. i'd write it tomorrow if i had the time
like the castles are treating this like one of those times where you pick up a puppy out of a cardboard box in a kmart parking lot and like, it's a little scrawny and underfed and feral and yeah, it probably would have been smarter to pick one out of the shelter where at least you know they've been checked out and have their shots and everything, but you know, the kids wanted one so bad and it's christmas, and it's cold and the poor thing's probably going to freeze to death in the cardboard box, so you bring it home, and suddenly it's in these new and unfamiliar surroundings and it keeps trying to skitter out the front door every time it opens, so maybe you have to keep it in a back room or tied up for a while and you hand feed it treats until it stops trying to run away and like, you know eventually the puppy's going to warm up to you as long as you treat it right and when that happens you'll have a happy new member of the family that you can probably shove felt reindeer antlers on for the family christmas card
meanwhile matt's treating this like a fucking kidnapping
Brown girls dont show up on american TV much. As someone who wasnt living in the US but was still consuming media, I loved seeing black girls on TV. I related to them to some extent because well... I looked much more like them than I ever would the standard white actor. And let me tell you, when I saw the doctor decide to be the universes biggest prick to easily the smartest prettiest kindest and most genuinely wonderful human being ever seen on TV aka Martha Jones it wasnt fun. my throat still blocks up everytime i recall just how perfect she was. and this is not something that is characteristic of the doctor. he doesnt just sideline companions the way he does martha. it happens to one companion and she happens to be a woc and i hate that it did. woc deserve to be treated the same way he treats every other person he comes across. fucking sucks
