I do not understand the appeal of taking complex old men characters and making them either toothless grandpas or abusive demons. Why are y'all so afraid of DILFs who have fucked up but are ultimately not evil people

#this was originally about vesemir but is also about denethor like those two are my Complicated Old Men loves #tho actually denethor never did anything wrong in his life and i know this on most days #but its worth acknowledging that if i actually think about it he obviously made some questionable decisions #maybe. sometimes. occasionally. #stanning denethor is a trial and a torment bc of a certain filmmaker #but vesemir is also a minefield like bros that man very much did torture and essentially murder children #and if he didnt do it personally then he at least signed off on it as worth the result of there being more witchers in the world #but he's also close to the boys and ciri to at least some degree and had his own torture and trauma to deal with #but fics either make him this inhuman monster who heartlessly killed kids or make him the sappy old grandpa figure #and like.... idk i just dont find it personally compelling at all #arent you tired of being one dimensional? dont you just wanna have complexity #disgruntled octopus

for the modern au, what do you think each of the boy’s favorite movies would be? I’ve been thinking about how Vasco might enjoy something like the Princess Bride or LadyHawke, all the sword fighting and not letting anything stand in the way of true love seems right up his alley but I could be totally wrong!

I've never seen Princess Bride actually, and I'm beginning to think that it might be a pretty significant hole in my movie knowledge. First time I've heard of Ladyhawke. But if there's sword fights and true love, I can see him being into that.

I haven't fully figured out their tastes but I have a few hunches. Coen brothers give me Vasco feelings, he'd like The Big Lebowski and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. He might enjoy an occasional Tarantino, classic Pulp Fiction maybe. And he would like westerns but the tragic ones would make him feel a little blue.

Machete would probably gravitate towards something like Bergman's The Seventh Seal or Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. He'd be into historical dramas and biopics, but be obnoxiously picky about them. Out of contemporary directors he'd probably get a kick out of Christopher Nolan.

I think it would be nice if they mostly enjoyed similar movies, or at least didn't hate each other's favorites. Vasco wouldn't get Machete's weird and brooding art films and Machete wouldn't find Vasco's "so bad it's good" picks that funny. I'm not an active fan of many things but I like Wes Anderson, so I'm just going to decree that they share my love for his work as well.

#in secret they would occasionally watch a romantic comedy together #Machete gets compared to Miranda Priestly sometimes so maybe he'd vibe with Devil Wears Prada #is Groundhog Day a romantic comedy? seems like something Vasco has seen a dozen times #answered #anonymous #modern au #started to think what these movies would look like if the actors were dogs

I love how you display creepy stuff. With uncanny expressions, body horror, and even setting. The ship the survivors on must be so chilly and old, you could hear footsteps from one end of the ship and night terrors of your neighbor. Properly delightful.

thank u I try very hard! I think horror is one of those things that are insanely hard to nail so I'm super duper glad

#Me when people feel dread from anything I do or say: do you prommy 🥺 #Horror is so special to me. If I can do it justice I'm happy #not an art #The ship is cold and damp and out in the middle of nowhere where it's safest... no lights but the stars and moon sometimes #Maybe they need to occasionally black out all electronics to escape detection. And it's just pitch black. #Everyone bunks up with their roomies to wait ut out but the rooms dont have bathrooms or kitchens. #You need to go out so you wake u9 your roomie and you go out into the absolute pitch hand in hand #Maybe a glow stick between you something that can't be seen by other vessels. #A third pair of footsteps joins you. You dont see anything and you cant turn on the lights so you just hold tighter and keep moving. #Is the ship lurching or are you experiencing some sort of vertigo? Is the groaning and creaking just the framework? #Are you SURE whose hand is in yours? #To quote the haunting of hill house: god; god; whose hand was I holding?

some lineless sketches of my OCs Master Graaddik and Padawan Naarla Lanii. Their missions usually involve protecting non sentient creatures.

#star wars fanart #togruta #wookiee #naarla lanii #Master graaddik #Naarla’s lightsaber isn’t that short it’s just at an angle #Also she is regular sized for a 12 year old togruta she just looks like a 6 year old compared to her tree of a master #Wookiees are like 7 feet tall??? #They spend a lot of time hiding under plants or scaling mountains #Sometimes they have to deal with pirates and smugglers #And occasionally have run ins with jerks who don’t agree with the sentient status of aliens who physically can’t speak Basic #And they also maybe work with the Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts #(Which I recently discovered is a thing in the Star Wars universe) #star wars oc

Reading other people's LU fics is so weird sometimes. Like I operate w/ a very concrete idea of what all their ages are, so seeing the dude I headcanon as 22 be 16 in a fic is jarring haha

It's not a bad thing, but it's kinda funny.

That's kinda what I like abt LU tho. The only Link's age we know is Wind. Everyone one else is an unknown. We know Twi was 18 during TP, but we don't know how long it's been so he's also an unknown. It lets us imagine what we believe to be appropriate. I hope we never get their current ages

Edit: turns out I deadass forgot abt Wild who says he's 117. but he got memory issues so is he really lol

#idk maybe it's cuz I'm 4'9 and almost 30 that I see four and think “yeah he's 22” #the fic isn't even about four. it was just a throwaway line ;A; #but on a similar note. seeing Hyrule written as being 19-20 always feels weird cuz he has such strong 16y/o energy imo #old enough that people expect him to be an adult (hence the occasional shyness) #but still young enough that he sometimes gets treated like a child #linked universe #in my defense. I'm not the biggest wild fan. and I also posit. bro has serious memory issues #he could've just been like *well flora turned 17 when the calamity happened. I'm prob around the same age*

Dean is such a paradox for me because on the one hand, I have been actively triggered by him in the show, there are moments where, intentionally or not, the writers managed to create a portrayal of manipulation and abuse and control issues that it sets off actual alarms for me. And on the other hand, I would not have him any other way. There is something — not comforting, that’s too soft a word — about knowing where Dean’s actions stem from, having seen and learned all that we do about his childhood neglect and parentification and the trauma he goes through repeatedly in the show, and that he doesn’t come out clean. He comes out a goddamn mess who ends up hurting the people around him in reaction to his own pain!

There’s a reality there that’s. Almost nice, actually. Distressing to watch, but it is a fucking mess, it’s a good mess! He’s got zero healthy coping skills and a healthy relationship with say, his brother, is terrifying because it leaves him open to abandonment!

I’m not sure I’m wording this correctly. There is a way to be a good abuse victim. Take the pain, martyr yourself on it, and then, even if you have no support or idea how to, then you have to become a Good Person who never hurts anyone the way you have been learning to your entire life. Simply toss everything that shaped you out the door and emerge a saint with a tragic backstory. And Dean is not that. And that’s so fucking good. Everything that he has gone through continues to effect the way he treats the people around him, and he can’t fight the behaviors he might recognize as harmful because he also sees them as protecting him (or protecting Sam by keeping Sam with him.)

And sometimes, idk. It feels good to see a guy who didn’t heal the “right way.” Who mostly didn’t heal at all, just keeps the wound open because it’s easier that way.

#there’s a whole other bit to this about how like. it’s hard for fandom to hold the idea that someone can be both a victim and abusive #at the same time. that the ways someone has been hurt don’t always shape them into kindness and wide-eyed sympathy. occasionally it just #makes them hard to live with. and I think most obviously is the thing that a lot of what Dean does is an expression of love. of protection. #he’s very much his father’s son in that way. that’s why Sam. the guy he’s been Told to protect his whole life. is also the person he ends up #hurting the most. it’s tragedy. it’s realistic. it’s a good fucking mess. #and that’s why I don’t get interpretations of dean that are determined to shave off the ugly parts of his character. to me those are the #parts that make him a character worth revisiting. he’s so full of love. and he uses it to hurt people. he means to sometimes. a lot of the #time he doesn’t but hurts them anyway. he has been shaped by violence his whole life. and it’s just. I get why someone might take this #part of him away. to make him easier to love. because I get that he’s stressful to watch also like I get that. but he is. #he is compelling. in his anger and his controlling behavior and his strangling love. he is compelling in all the ways he has become this. #Dean’s degradation into these behaviors can be both a failure of a show that ran to long but also the believable trajectory of a man who #can’t heal. and I love him for that. I love him for emerging from pain as a angry sharp thing. I love that it brings the glimpses of him #being gentler and recognizing his actions as bad into stark relief. I love that this recognition often only lasts until he is hurt again and #then he backpedals into the safety of behaviors he knows will allow him to control a situation through force or manipulation. #it’s good fucking mess. you know? dean winchester everybody. #maybe I should have put all that in the main post. oh well. too late now. #spn #dean winchester #tw abuse

sometimes i like to imagine a future where i write that (y/a or adult targeted) dragon book series i desperately want to, but i know that i wouldn't be able to do it without including art in the book. every time a new important character is introduced the next page would have to be a reference / art of them to Show What They Look Like

#i dont think id be able to handle like. publishing or whatever Without that #maybe that stems from my control issues maybe im just an artist at heart #but i would also need there to be a glossary and a detailed map and maybe footnotes or a basic bestiary- #but then sometimes i wonder if i'd want it to be like... a comic instead #manga style in a way??? i wouldnt color it. it'd be in b&w with only the occasional colored spread or somethin #but all of that If Possible or plausible is a very long way off which is okay its okay #ill get there ill get there #unless something changes and i want to do something Else but its been a goal for many years already #its only recently that ive buckled down on the worldbuilding and character crafting and genuinely considering the plot and themes #its a hot mess! but theres something in there! im determined to find it #its definitely a couple years yet of changing things and switchin stuff around and Thinking.... #who knows if ill ever get there! i hope i will! #but yeah it'd be a book with a bunch of art shoved in it httyd style (kinda) #bc if im gonna Make something im gonna combine my favorite hobbies as best i can #absolutely unprompted #its an exciting but daunting prospect. writing an actual Thing #mostly the plot part of it #i can craft characters i can do worldbuilding #but the plot? oof #there's this other one ive been working on since 8th grade #and its still... barely anything lmao #its for my favorite personal characters - my very first real oc my special boy light of my life but Man. #plot has hands!!! #and then ofc there's my beloved idiot squad... i want to do something for them some day maybe.... #so many ambitions so little energy... i will strive to make future me healthy enough to achieve Something we so desperately want!

on the topic of stobin having No Boundaries and because i recently had to experience my period after several months of blissful non-period-ness (healthily and intentionally i promise im not like severely-not-ok):

my lovely only child robin in a household where the women presumably outnumber the man moving in with steve after everything and just. forgetting to take her bloodied panties out of the bathroom sink (the most convenient place to let them soak in cold water before throwing them in the wash) (im hoping to fuckin god here that this is a universal afab experience and not just a me-and-my-sibling-are-strange-fucks thing)

it takes two, mayyybe 3 instances before steves just completely unbothered. hes washed (his own!!) blood out of plenty of clothes at this point and has seen way more gruesome shit than organ lining that at least supposed to leave the body so despite being an amab only child he Does Not Give A Shit. at first he'll just casually remind her its there with that type of euphemism Me and The Girls™ enjoy using to make it sound badass ("Robbie you've got a crime scene left in the bathroom" "sorry ill get it before the police arrive") but after a while it becomes a definitely normal thing so sometimes when robins having a rough week he'll clean it up real quick and not mention it, because after all its just blood and at least no one has to go to the hospital for it this time

#tw blo0d #cw blood #cw periods #tagged blood but its just about periods but also just to he safe #stranger things #steve harrington #platonic stobin #robin buckley #platonic with a capital p #platonic soulmates stobin #maybe im just crazy but when i do occasionally get my period i use reusable pads and just. wash them in the sink #just with my bare hands. i don't know how weird that is or if im just being dramatic but i used to not be able to and now i just do #like its just blood but its also Definitely Not *Just* Blood in there y'know. theres A Texture too. #idk im so so sorry this is probably really weird and tmi im just hoping the little gay people in my phone don't think its too weird #devon thinks sometimes

ok listen. i know hbomberguy said he doesnt wanna become the type of youtube who spends their time doing drama videos or ruining ppl careers but like. if somebody doesnt start doing crazy detailed research on ryan hall, yall then i will

#hbomberguy #meteorology #ryan hall yall #like his info is good and he generally seems like a good gug but theres. some weird stuff #*guy #the lack of clarity regarding his education #the giveaways #the almost unnecessarily high production quality #the way his mods behave during livestreams #(theyre biased when regulating politics they link weather.gov when ppl ask for forecasts but respond negatively when other meteorologists #are mentioned/linked etc) #occasional thoughtlessness (magenta polygons instead of red are more visible but they confuse ppl and studies say theyre less effective) #the fact they he claims to live in kentucky but said the us had very calm weather while there were wildfires throughout the south&appalachi #(also i could be forgetting but if i rmember right he mentioned the drought maybe twice until he retweeted that video from james spann) #the fact that he used to review vapes #the shady sponsorships and sometimes downright untrue info regarding those #the guilt tripping asking ppl to donate #like theres def good faith interpretations available #he himself says that theyre trying to reach as many ppl as possible w warnings so they have to play the YT algorithm game #but like. some of its looking kinda weird man

Panel one is so close to Tenzō that he's mostly out of the frame aside from the lower half of his face. He's trembling again. Behind him, Kakashi regards him with a critical eye. "Here I am, making you patch me up, asking you not to report me, but putting you in a situation where you have to," Tenzō says, then, adds, "And I'm scared of my own village." Panel two shows us only their backs. Tenzō is sitting straight, shaking, and Kakashi is leaning towards him slightly. "I'm, at this point, already a liability—" Tenzō starts, but Kakashi cuts him off. "Tenzō, I'm not going to report you," Kakashi says. Panel three, Tenzō turns to look at Kakashi. The tears have returned to his eyes and he doesn't seem to notice them. "I know you don't want to," Tenzō says. Panel four, Tenzō looks away and down. His shudders have noticeably increased. "You're very loyal," Tenzō starts. Kakashi interrupts, "Tenzō." "And I can't let myself take advantage of that," Tenzō says, as though he didn't even hear Kakashi. Panel five, Tenzō turns back to Kakashi. He's slightly smaller in the panel than the previous two. "I'm sorry. I don't know why I came here," Tenzō says. "Tenzō," Kakashi interrupts, this time in a larger speech balloon with bolder text, louder. Tenzō continues still, "I forced you into this situation—" Panel six features only Kakashi, his eyes are narrowed, his eyebrows low, and he's got his hand in front of himself as though he's making a slashing motion. "Tenzō, you're not listening to me," Kakashi says. "You're not a liability or a threat, and I will not be reporting you." Panel seven shows them facing each other. Kakashi is sitting straight, while Tenzō has once more assumed his defensive hunch forward. "Senpai—" Tenzō starts to argue. "I am however, going to bar you from both solo and split missions in any research labs for the next year, at least," Kakashi says, and some small, pale subtext beside it reads "Unless my order is superseded by a higher officer, obviously." Tenzō, looking frustrated, but still shaking and tears still rolling down his cheeks, argues back. "I told you, it wasn't the lab. I wasn't scared, it was like I—" /end ID

Wow me, drawing Jersey? Craazzzyyyyy

Anyway, I had an original design for this type of look on the Ipad, ended up not looking at it once since I apparently have memory. Kinda glad I didn't since I could go just by memory and figure it out as I went along ya know. (ps, for those who don't normally read tags just like, please do, i put so many lil things in there lolz)

Okay SO, I have this lil headcanon, nothin big, that Jersey didn't used to wear shorts until like 2000 or something, maybe a bit before then. This is because he has some scars on his legs, just from over the years, and wearing shorts not only shows those but also make it easier for him to get scrapes and such.

He was fine wearing shorts around NY, Del, and Rhode, occasionally Mass as well if he happened to be around at the time. He couldn't wear them around anyone else for a long time, some scars had Memories(tm) attached to them, some good most bad, so he just never wore shorts.

He's gotten a lot more comfortable wearing them around the other states over the years, mainly because of Covid where Mass unfortunately wouldn't let him keep wearing the same two pairs of pants. So he's fine now, if still a lil uncomfortable around some states (the west mainly), you just won't see him wearing them until it's the first day over 60 in state.

Anyway I love NJ but this isn't surprising, I live here. I am NOT a simp for this bitch, he's my state, I have to like him, 'sides who else would I attach to? Pennsylvania? Florida? Or god forbid NEW YORK!? Absolutely not, that's sacrilegious that is.

#welcome to the table #wttt #wttt new jersey #wttsh new jersey #also #jersey with a bun #how we feelin bout it #i personally love it #like i love the idea that his hair is shorter underneath #like maybe from an undercut thats just outgrown? #also also the headband he's using is one of SJs #although they are more like communal headbands #since yorkie connie and a few other northers “borrow” them #i feel like this pic was taken sometime during the summer #either at the shore or a roller rink #i feel like jersey would drag the group out all the time during the summer #the group being york connie penn rhode florida loui cali new mex north dakota and occasionally texas and kentucky #florida and loui only join because of cali #connie because there needs to be one “responsible” adult to supervise (he isnt much better but is trusted) #nd because jersey is very persuasive (he really isnt but nd caves quickly) #texas mainly joins when food is involved or its a rodeo #and kentucky would just more but sigh horses #honestly more states would join but they either learned their lesson (cough The Action Park Incidents(tm) cough) #or jersey never thought to ask them because the poor boy has self esteem problems since apparently NJ is one of the most disliked states #still sad about the btw cause NJ is so nice but also please stay away we dont want you here #anyway he thinks that most states dont like him so he only invites those that he knows dont hate him #so most of OG13 plus florida and loui

Thinking about how there's a lot more ghosts wandering Mondstadt in the Archon Dvalin AU than usual because Venti is usually the one sending off spirits into the afterlife and well. he's kinda stuck on that side post-Cataclysm

At first there weren't any because they just followed Venti, but afterwards there were some that still lingered and the number just kept piling up over the centuries. Many did eventually go on their own, but there's just more that didn't want to or simply couldn't

Dvalin doesn't know how to send them off, no one really showed him how and he doubts that even if he knew, he probably couldn't. Still, whenever a spirit decides to show themself, he stays with them for a bit, just to alleviate their burdens even a little and maybe help them find enough peace

It's probably another thing that eats at him alive because he couldn't even help those that he failed to protect, no matter how much most of them say it isn't his fault

And then, after the whole reconciliation with Celio thing, one of the lingering spirits asks him for a song. Before, he might've gently turned down the request, but after everything, he decided he might as well

Dvalin starts singing an old song he loved. Singing it had been painful, once, considering it was made as a duet and having to listen to the silent answer just brought him nothing but grief. Now, there's a sort of peace to how the breeze and the sound of nature fill in the gaps and pauses.

Over the course of the song, more and more ghosts come to listen. By the end of it, Dvalin opens his eyes to see most of them disappear, not in terms of hiding away like usual but rather beginning to dissolve into light as they finally move on

The last one to leave was the one who requested a song. She turns to smile at him. "I suppose I can finally tell that bard how much you've grown," she says before finally dissipating into the wind

#anemo archon dvalin au #I wanted to post hurt/comfort so I dusted off one of my drafts and added the comfort part #anyway yeah the last ghost was from the Cataclysm and probably met Venti briefly when they were still both alive #and then she met him again as he was gathering up all the dead so they could go together #but then she takes one look at Dvalin looking absolutely miserable #and decides she ain't going to rest until she deems the poor guy to be doing fine #it took 500 years but y'know Mondstadters are a certain brand of insane sometimes #trying to watch over him as a lingering ghost kinda did the opposite effect tho but she tried her best #'what about the miasma and evils spirits that would appear due to all these ghosts tho?' you may ask #Idk copious amounts of seals and blessings and maybe the occasional exorcist that pass by #Venti's resentment and regrets were probably the only tatarigami that plagued Mond #and even then it just stayed around the vicinity where Venti died and took a while to even manifest #mostly due to whatever wackery is going on in Dragonspine + intervention from Andrius and Dvalin
