#obligatory writing on the wall mention #have you listened to writing on the wall yet today go listen to writing on the wall #but anyway this is about injury and having to relearn how to draw with the other hand #which is the only reason why id draw right handed kaveh because all right handed kaveh is ambidexterous kaveh w carpal tunnel actually #really subtle projecting happening #along with the usual artist frustration nothing being good enough etc etc #god i love kaveh #genshin #genshin impact #kaveh #genshin impact fanart #ort #原神 #原神イラスト #カーヴェ #right handed drawings

I think the most terrifying part of any relationship is the ongoing awareness that you are going to have to trust someone when they appear to like or love you. There is no objective way to check your status with someone, no app that will say "they like you overall but are mad at you right now, specifically for x or y or a vague z thing that you didn't even clock when it was happening. But! if you send them a nice card and small gift, they will forget about it and return to base level affection"

instead, you have to just....keep having a relationship with that person, doing big and small things with or for them, and praying that you will both be brave and evolved enough to raise x/y/z as an issue if it genuinely is problem.

Mortifying ordeal of being known, down to your very gluons, and disliked.

#this is worse with family I think. because I listen to my family talk about how other members #are frustrating or did a thing and isn't that irritating?? that this person is themselves???? #(I am not blameless in this; I talk about other members of the family too) #but I am 100% sure I love my family. even talking about how annoying they are! I love them. #I can only hope they love me. #or worse - that they put up with me when I'm in front of them but when I leave...? #I live in terror of being That Person for the next generation. #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

Leo has a lot of love for his comics, constantly rereading them (mainly for the art) and overall having a lot of sentimental value for them, especially because reading them is something he likes to do when he’s just existing in a space with his family.

And then the Shredder happens. And then the invasion happens. And then life in general happens. And, suddenly, most of Leo’s comics are either too damaged to fix or gone entirely.

But it’s fine! He’s growing up, so he doesn’t need them anymore. So what if it’s one more bit of childhood lost? It’s fine - it’s fine.

Enter Mikey.

Mikey, who is so, so empathetic and cares so, so much about his family - he notices, and he decides to do something about it.

Unfortunately, most of the comics are vintage, and completely unavailable in any form but digital.

Good thing Mikey is an artist.

So over the course of a month, Mikey secretly takes the time to painstakingly recreate Leo’s favorite Jupiter Jim volume. It’s hard, matching a style like that with only grainy online scans to go off of, but he manages.

He gives it to Leo on a mundane day, out of the blue, with a sunshine smile on his face.

Now- Mikey does all this secretly.

But Leo is very, very perceptive, especially in regard to his brothers hiding things from him. So of course he finds the unfinished work in progress comic about three days in.

He does NOT cry. He doesn’t.

Just as he doesn’t cry when Mikey presents him with the finished thing, nope, not a tear in sight.

His eyes are just wetter than normal as he gives Mikey the absolute biggest hug he could possibly give.

(And if Mikey finds the fridge and pantry always stacked with special ingredients only found in specific parts of the world whenever he so much as mentions wanting to try them, that’s neither here nor there.)

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rottmnt mikey #rise leo #rise mikey #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #Leo portaling to another country and spending hours desperately trying to figure out which of the beans he found was the one Mikey mentioned #mikey spending hours on one panel on the days his arms are acting up #and he gets so frustrated because he HAS to make it perfect for Leo #and Leo just so happens to text him hey let’s go skateboarding! #(totally not because Leo noticed and decided to make Mikey take a break) #listen I love this duo sm they’re just so good #they mean so much to me sobs

"In this world, I'm known as...the Winter King" 🌨❄️🌬

This cosplay was so so close to never seeing the light of day, as this was the aforementioned project I rage quit to procrastinate with Nekomancer on haha. I really adored the fionna and cake special (and adventure time in general) and wanted to cosplay from it for eons...although I will admit this project was intended to be "generic blue and silver winter regal outfit for a variety of characters" and it was a toss up on whether or not the first run was going to go to the Winter King/Simon or Jack Frost...but I couldn't find my jack frost wig so here we are!

This was my first time working a lot with velvet and low key....I loved it and would love to use it more.

#my cosplay #adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #LISTEN listen i try not to be negative #i know theres no reason to be your own hater #but this project has been a whoumph from day one #making it was frustrating and the end product feels disappointing #kind of a bummer end to my cosplay year BUT #all the more reason and motivation for me to focus on non-cosplay things for awhile #since im pretty sure the reason this costume fizzled is i just didnt put in the extra care and attention it needed #which is just...not really possible when youre making a new costume every single month on top of a demanding job #ALSO IM SOWWY NO GLASSES MY NOSE WAS WAY TOO TALL FOR THE TINY ONES I HAD originally for jamie heinemann if you believe it

Seeing people tokenize JVP is very frustrating to me.

#i/p stuff #the unwillingness of anyone to listen to or support the israeli left is also extremely frustrating and i think related to this #but it's early and im struggling to articulate my thoughts there

my Japanese teacher asked me if I watched Nana

#bevfoolery #it’s good but not gay enough for me ok. Listen. I’m frustrated to death by the men in it

there's nothing worse than seeing people headcanon your favorite character as a "sw*ftie"

#THEY WOULD NEVER ISTEN TO THAT #it's so scary everytime i see my fav character and that woman's name on the same sentence #it's so frustrating...like stop.. please Wanda Maximoff would not listen to that #who do i have to kill to stop seeing that stupid headcanon.... it's everywhere #Matt Murdock DOES NOT listen to Taylor swift...tiktok needs to stopp #FREE SATOSUGU FROM T*YLOR SWIFT SONG #I don't want to see wanda and that blonde bitch in the same video ever again #wtf #wanda Maximoff #anti taylor swift #anti swifties #marvel #fandom #geto suguru #gojo Satoru #jujutsu kaisen #headcanon #wanda maximoff headcanons #wanda maximoff x reader #fuck taylor swift #taylor swift #matt Murdock #daredevil #fandom critical #wanda ramblings

Just remembered this as you had your new post - what is the political system of Olympus? Cause we have Zeus as King, Apollo as Prince (and temporary King), but in your post he was lobbying for Presidency? What is this political system? A monarcy? A democracy? What was Apollo going to be President of????

The political system in LO can simply be defined as "whatever Rachel needs it to be to write herself out of the corner she wrote herself into" 💀😆

#yeah the apollo for president thing still bugs the shit out of me LOL #like sir do you even know where you are rn #and everyone just going along with his 'sinister master plan' IS SO FRUSTRATING #WHY IS ANYONE PUTTING UP WITH THIS IDIOT #LITERALLY HALF THE PANTHEON ALREADY HATES HIM SO WHY ARE THEY LISTENING TO HIM LMAOOO #ask me anything #ama #anon ama #anon ask me anything #lo critical #anti lore olympus #lore olympus critical

actually i think we don't talk enough about how insane it is that xue yang was controlling song lan's undead body while his spirit was entirely aware of it but unable to stop it

#he spoke sizhui........... #he answered truthfully......... #he knew what was being done to him #and for the first time in years someone was able to listen #though still frustrating in a way because imagine finally being able to speak #while you know these poor children are in danger #but only being capable of answering things you were specifically questioned #truly “i have no mouth and i must scream” type of vibe #modao #mdzs #lace speaks

"You want this smoke?"

"Bring it."

I agonized over how to draw this moment for literal days. I sketched this in 3 different files. More than 3 times. This drawing caused me actual pain, and I can absolutely see every flaw in it. It's by no means perfect. However. It's dang good and I'm happy with how it turned out and it was a nice challenge and it turned out nice, especially given my weird, ongoing art funk. It was so fun to make.

Enjoy :D

[Version with a teensy tiny touch of blood under the cut]

It's not a lot of blood but there's a read more for ya anyways :P

#secret life smp #secret life smp fanart #impulsesv #impulsesv fanart #bdoubleo100 #bdoubleo100 fanart #this was. so incredibly frustrating to work on. i cannot tell yall how many times i scrapped it entirely and started over #but it was WORTH IT cuz tbh this is slaying for me. ignore the fact that the anatomy and perspective is a bit weird in places lol #also. i listened to so long by james marriott for a good solid chunk of the time i was working on this. it's a banger song tbh

Me: So the podcast "Your Own Backyard" actually helped lead to a 25-year-old cold case being solved, that's so interesting! I wonder what sort of evidence the narrator uncovered, what witness he drew out of the woodwork that finally cracked it!

The podcast: Yeah literally everyone knew exactly who did it but the police bungled the case so badly on every single front due to a combination of incompetence and corruption that they could never bring charges.

Me:

#it's always police incompetence. fucking always #it's an excellent podcast though. and done with the full consent and cooperation of the victim's family #just. VERY fucking frustrating to listen to sometimes

Conversations on here will basically be like

"Hey these new reproductive rights issues are affecting trans men too so let's make sure we include them in the conversation, instead of calling it women's health issues."

"Would you stop complaining? Trans women have it worse than trans men. TERFs want to kill us but only detransition you."

"If living as the gender you are not is so easy why would you transition in the first place? Obviously trans people transition because they can't live with existing as a gender they are not. Obviously "just going back" isn't an option because we often fail to behave the way we're expected to anyway. Forcing any trans person to detransition is a death sentence in and of itself."

"Why are you always speaking over transfems when we talk about transmisogynistic violence???"

#transandrophobia #its the conversation being about trans mascs to begin with that does it for me #yeah im sorry i interupted the beginning of your sentence with the middle of mine so rude of me #and the ultimate frustration is the topic has drifted so far off course #from including trans men in reproductive healthcare #and nobody cares #functionally i would just like access to reproductive healthcare #and you are the one pulling attention from that by turning it into a whataboutisms conversation #nothing that trans men want to acheive by being part of the conversation about reproductive health precludes trans women also getting rights #but telling trans men to shut up and listen to trans women because they have it worse #IS INTENTIONALLY LEAVING TRANS MEN BEHIND #not to mention arguing about who has it worse is what creates false dichotomies that leave out nonbinary people on top of it

youve heard of sex flowers get ready for the flower that makes you into a celestial shoujo herione complete with particle effects you cannot turn the fuck off and creates a wifebeam so powerful it can incapacitate and maim and keeps making you burst into tears and fall on your ass which makes the wifebeam More Powerful and you also cannot turn this off either. and is also still, sort of, a sex flower

from one of my favorite fanfictions, Celestial Afterglow by elanor_pam, a fic that defies description in the best possible way

#arts #shen qingqiu #svsss #listen im not saying that ive spent a cumulative half a year reading this fic and then trying to make an arts for it #and then getting frustrated and stopping because i couldn't figure out how to make sqq shimmery enough #but like. im not NOT saying that #this is the FOURTH time ive started something for this bitch it haunts my fucking dreams and yet the opalescent glittery sqq evades me #perhaps you o unlearned fool look at this and say hmm that's too many colour layers and glowy effects but oh how wrong you are #if it doesnt make you literally fall over yourself at how otherworldly and radiant he is then there is room for improvement yet #perhaps you look at this and you think Wow!!! this gives me literally NO ideas what this fic is about #well Let Me Tell You. i have no fucking idea how to summarize this fic #its not often the tags in a fic give me pause but i saw this and as i read the tags i was increasingly just like What #but i have no idea how to describe it. the tags arent NOT accurate but i was SO unprepared for what happened in like an extremely pos way #if i were tagging this i think i would give it the no archive warnings apply label if that matters to you #the author seemed they wanted to leaned towards over caution rather than risk missing anything re tags because This Is A Weird Fic #but oh my fucking god #i am gripping you by the shoulders i cannot stress enough how charming it is #brilliant characterization especially with airplane in the first scene #and also so much fucking funnier than i thought possible for the general setting summary tags and buildup #its just. ough. its good
