#thirteen #miraculous ladybug #ml art #emilie agreste #adrien agreste #miraculous ladybug fic #ml fic #ml fic rec #my art #THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN HAUNTING THE INSIDE OF MY BRAIN EVER SINCE I READ THE NOVEMBER CHAPTER BACK IN NOVEMBER #now. listen. in an ideal world i would've done this way back in november but uhhhhhhh i don't know what happened. suddenly it was december #and now it's february! not sure how that happened. anyway my goal is to be making a piece of art for each chapter to convey #just how fucking INSANE this fic makes me feel. like how crazy and insane and awesomely constructed it is. anna just GETSSSS ITTTTTTT #(and is using her 'get it' ability to hurt me bodily) #like with every chapter i read i am just assaulted with this intense desire to Make An Image which is not really an impulse im used to #since i don't draw a ton but anna's voice is just so evocative of images in a way that just. inspires every creative impulse inside of me #i took forever to read the december chapter but the moment i read it i already had an idea of something i wanted to draw for it. #my idea is. well. complex for me to say the least but as i told anna i am determined to make my skills match whatever i need to do because #the way she writes it is literally haunting me it is shooting me with a gun it is so something i have no idea how to handle #except i guess to repeat her themes and ideas and imagery in a collage of sorts #i don't know that's what my october chapter comic felt like- a collage. and this one does too in a way even though it's very different #i just like connecting the dots. and then smashing the dots together in an image #anyway. read thirteen. it is changing me all the way down to the dna

words can’t express how much i love him, his courage and fearlessness of expression in everything he creates is pure magic 🖤

#this is his day and he deserves ALL the love and appreciation in the world #what did i even do with my life before i found this man’s music?? #at the time of posting i actually haven’t sat down and listened to omb yet because i’m still super ill with covid #and don’t want to associate miles’s new album with that lol #but the little cd/t-shirt/signed print pack arrived today and god did it cheer me up just seeing it #these photos from the booklet are just my absolute favourite 💗 #i can’t wait until i’m well enough to listen to the album properly #i know it’s going to destroy me in the best way possible #i’ve literally been so excited for this moment for months and the singles off it he’s already released are some of my favourite songs ever #so so proud of him and everything he’s done to make this beautiful music and infinitely grateful to him for sharing it with us 💜 #miles kane #one man band #lulu posts

Someone shared a post about the pear of anguish, saying it was used to torture slaves, and I thought its design was interesting but something felt slightly off, so I looked it up.

The first thing you see when you look this thing up is that its usage is disputed.

Apparently the mechanism doesn't seem to work the way it's said to work? It's said that people would slowly enlarge the opening in order to spread an orifice wider and wider, and that it could even break jaws.

The thing is, this device does not seem to open in this way. It seems to spring open. The screw mechanism is for closing it.

I relayed this information, thinking this was someone who would actually care about fact checking. "It might not actually have worked in this way. Its usage is disputed."

For some fucking dadblamed reason, they took this as me... questioning the existence of racism? And denying the suffering of black people?

I do a little more digging, and it's basically the same thing over and over. One guy insists that it's totally a torture device, because why else would it be in torture chamber museums?

I don't know, buddy, maybe because people like to make up stories and scare others.

That's one running theory for the existence of this thing: people wanted a good story. They wanted to be able to sell that story in order to make money. So they made elaborate devices and charged people to see them, or displayed them in order to scare their guests.

This part of the speculation, by the way, is from medieval times. There are no modern accounts of this item's usage.

We have so many accounts of slavery. We have so many ways to spread information. We're still able to converse with some of the children of the people who are still alive. We can still see the documents they left during that time.

Why would they leave this out? If it were actually in use, why would they relay the whippings, the confinement, the rape, the starvation, the harsh working conditions, the lynchings, the forced assimilation, and just... not mention this part?

Their friend piled on. I told him my statement was based on the way the device functions, and not "white people wouldn't do that." I told them that I didn't expect better from him, because I didn't know him, but I did expect better from them.

Apparently this was me making assumptions.

Gonna be honest, I didn't read the entirety of their responses, because this sort of thing is maddeningly upsetting to me. I thought I was safe to say something because, when I accidentally sent them a video by Alexis Nelson, they called it funny and informative. I know that doesn't seem like much, but... honestly, Alexis isn't going to be up everyone's alley, and sometimes that's due to bigotry. So I thought they would actually care, and not be mad about being checked. I've been in that situation plenty of times, and I normally don't say anything if I don't think I'm going to get through. I only say something if I have hope for that person.

I thought I might actually have a potential friend, and said person responded to "Hey this information might not be accurate" with... honestly, I can barely even parse the way they worded things? Something about slavery happening whether it was disputed or not.

I just wanted to fact check an unsourced facebook post.

#this has contributed to me feeling like no one wants to listen to anything i have to say and every relationship i have is doomed to fail!! #which I recognize is unhealthy!! #fellas is it splitting to get mad and unfriend someone for this nonsense #hm. maybe not what splitting is. #it's just so frustrating when someone is self righteous about their victim mentality #and every additional 'I'm not attacking you actually!' statement is perceived as an additional attack #I know I've done that but I'm WORKING ON IT #so it's frustrating to encounter in the wild and it sends me into the stratosphere #the fuck do you MEAN 'slavery happened even if it was disputed' i meant the SPECIFIC DEVICE YOU'RE MAKING CLAIMS ABOUT #I'm wildly oversimplifying. it was one hell of a sentence. #WHY DO YOU WANT MORE PAIN #THERE'S ENOUGH AS IT IS #WHY IS BAD IF I SAY THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN USED TO HURT PEOPLE #WHY AM I THE ENEMY #WHY AM I THE ONE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS #I THOUGHT WE COULD BE FRIENDS #sorry I'll go try to forget about this now #between this and someone saying she needs ai because commissions are too expensive and free images aren't good enough i just... #don't feel like saying anything to anyone anymore #and I missed my window for productivity today. I should have sat down to write and I didn't #and now I'm tired and frustrated because bg3 glitched wyll's cape away and i don't know which save to load to get it back #or if it's my compute #it already ate my opportunity to get everything from dammon #i might need to reinstall #personal #why did i even try. i was shaking so bad. why does it hurt this much. #torture device

What I've felt, what I've known Sick and tired, I stand alone Could you be there? 'Cause I'm the one who waits for you Or are you unforgiven, too? [x]

#guilty gear #sol badguy #my stuff #I COLORED IT YAY #God this one's so angsty lol #I've been listening to a lot of edgy metalcore lately. The lyrics are from a Metallica song though #The 3 Unforgiven tracks are sooooooo good #Sol has three musical flavors: Queen (obviously); Metallica; and Napalm Death #He has Fight Fire With Fire written on his Xrd and Strive designs (track off Metallica's album Ride The Lightning) #and then Napalm Death was his instant kill in GGXX (probably other games too but I just know it from XX) #I've done a sad drawing with Queen lyrics already and now Metallica so maybe I should do a Napalm Death one next lol #I think I could do something cooler with the design of his head/ear wing thingies but I need to experiment with it more

I was looking directly at a reference while drawing these and I still somehow convinced myself he had long hair. Whatever, he's pretty.

A-Z Isekai'd Cress deign by @acfan120 really got me in some kinda way and I couldn't help wanting to draw him. I also have thoughts on story for him but I'm not gonna be annoying with that rn. Maybe someday.

Bonus my warmup doodle:

#Emile's Arts #Pokemon #Pokemon Fanart #Oh it's been YEARS sense I've done non-selfship related fanart #DILF Cress got to me dude I needed to draw him #I have no idea how I convinced myself so wholly he had long hair but you know what whatever #Commit I say it looks good let it sit #Hhhh I tired to make the chain of his monocal look like tear drops #...Okay I said I wouldn't say my thoughts but like look listen okay look #To me he's either working at Parfum Palace (constructed 300 years ago so probably not if we're going the full 3000 back) #Or the Battle Chateau BEFORE it's a Battle Chateau and is just. I guess a regular Chateau??? #I personally image it's pre-BW2 era Cress when the Straiton Trio hit their slump being the weakest gym leaders #Just for the extra angst of Cress having this feeling he's not a good Pokemon battler and not very confident in his skills #And also just. What'd loosing their brother would do to an already down in the dumps Chili and Cress #I like to imagine through a side quest with him he eventually regains his confidence with battling #And maybe even establishes the Battle Chateau? that'd be fun~ #Those are like my basic story thoughts again I don't wanna. #I don't wanna go too crazy with it kfdjgkdfjgk #I just always really liked Cress he's sooooo cool to me <3 #Reliving middleschool nonsense with this one boys and girls #SORRY TO AC FOR THE TAG!!! I JUST LIKE HIM!!!!

Mr ZSaku, what part of "April Fools" and "jokes" don't you understand? I know people who post this sort of meta-semi-forth-wall-break-brutally-honest-character-nonsense on Halloween and they're at least honest about it.

#zsakuva #I didn't watch the break up video because I knew it was going to upset me #because the jealousy one already did and I couldn't relate to the listener's actions and I was absolutely not in the mood to be yelled yet #because of something I never did/would never do #and here I thought it would be a joke - you know since it's April Bloody Fools - maybe it would be mean but at still a joke #but nope #it's also really funny how in the description he's like 'I'm glad there's discourse it means I caused you to feel things' #mate - we've been there - the 'controversial listener discourse' is not something you want - trust me - doesn't lead you anywhere good #I'm not really in the fandom but even I've seen it tangentially and yeps - been there done that #- it's exactly like with [redacted] and [redacted] and [information has been destroyed] and [information has been destroyed]

our dining table first kiss up there for kisses of all time for me

#its so naturalistic #their little laughs...the mutual understanding of like. this is awkward and silly but thats ok and i am so so so in love with u #minoru says the whole thing was so unromantic and on the one hand hes right and thats what makes it wonderful #but on the other hand everything about the scene and the leadup to it was the PEAK of romance to me #like ive never seen more perfect romance tropes done more perfectly.... #the pep talk leading to an epic change of heart.... #the 'get your man' running sequence where each of the lovers starts running to find the other and they meet in the middle #the conversation where one thinks theyve already been rejected and that they know thats what the other is going to say #until the other says no!! listen!! you DONT know what i feel!! #and im not good at expressing my feelings but im going to try!!! #the hug first. always gotta be a hug first #and how it ended withe ringing in of the new year and the 'tastes like meat bun' and theyre still holding hands and everything.... #oh it was all so perfect my romantic little heart cant handle it #our dining table

#horse.txt #vent // #sort of. too high to be sad abt it im in anthropology mode and listening to music that makes me feel sexy so its fine yk #anyway i typed a whole bunch of other tags talking abt how and why i feel this way by going through a few of the events i can remember #from my childhood that Might explain why im so emotionally guarded and struggle to open up anymore. #bc i Wanted to say they all felt dumb and juvenile esp since ive actually like #made peace with most of the ppl who were involved with them #but the Anthropology mode was just tearing it all down as i typed it bc that Is just a ridiculous way to look at it no matter how you cut it #doesn't matter that nobody involved really Meant to deal that kind of harm and i dont need to hate or blame anyone in order to acknowledge #that it still just Happened. like thats a Memory already babe no do overs. #which is kind of just accidental therapy so sick. love that fir me genuinely! #but also yes theres the bitch part of me that still wants to discredit it bc acknowledging that it happened =/= Fixing My Issues #so im still at square one technically. ive just been pacing in circles on it for a while ig #EVEN WORSE that the Scale of my issues is so incredibly mundane compared to so many of the people i seem to meet. #sitting in bed crying abt not having friends for a few days in elementary school when other ppl have jojos bizarre adventure levels of Lore #i know im not technically invalid for feeling the way i do or anything but god. if it doesn't feel fucking Embarrassing to open up about😭 #its impossible NOT to feel stupid and sensitive for having these first world ass problems. And letting them hold me back #bc ppl not liking me for any reason makes me sooooooooo fucking scared So fucking scared its not even funny 😝 #at least. ppl in my Circles. im pretty ok about being assertive with randos #still some work to be done on it but its better than whatevers going on with my personal relationships rn #sincerely to my mutuals and loved ones who see this i swear to GOD i love you so so so fucking much and im so. im trying to figure out this #the stuff thats got me so distant and bad at keeping in touch. its a whole slew of feelings about how i see Myself--not yall #i double pinky promise cross my heart im extremely serious #thank you for being patient with me you mean more to me than im capable of putting into words right now #alright theres a shot of tears in the hollow of my collar bone time to wrap up this post #daily reminder that i love body hair. there's some honesty. #😎😎😎💪💪💪 #the Quaritch under the cut is just to make me feel better bc i love him and i think hes so pretty. hes like a security blanket

(nobody knows i've been playing with a warrior cats clan generator for a while now and getting attached to silly pixel cats to an unhealthy degree)

#clamtalk #listen . ok hear me out #a whILE back I discovered clangen. and it is exactly what it sounds like #a lil game that creates cats in ur clan and then has Events that happen throughout multiple moons #i've been watching this game for . A LONG time. Over many many updates #and every time a new major version is released. I have made a new clan #just to play around and see what's changed #and my current clan . oug. this is the most attached I've gotten #to the point where I actually shouted Out Loud ''NO!!!'' when one of them died . and I FELT it in my HEART it HURT #there's so much going on and so many developments that I've just been obsessively going at it whenever I have time #we're 150 moons or so? in? and already. so much has occurred. so so much #and again I've done multiple clans over multiple updates for this game . but this one. This One. Oh mygod #yea I'm normal. feeling super normal #this is the post that's gonna let half of my followers know that I was a warrior cats kid huh

I think the worst part about being a writer is the grief that comes with knowing that your story is almost over

#sally speaks #writing stuff #casual affection au #baby steps #this fic has been my entire life since september #it's helped me start to heal my inner teenager #and I'm so close to being done writing it and it scares me #but more than that it hurts me #I'm not done yet but I'm already grieving #and maybe that's silly but it's a part of me ya know? #there are songs that I'll be able to listen to again without thinking of this fic #yes I'm feeling a lil emotional today lol #i blame the period hormones
