hey everyone, So here are a couple of things I wanted to post, and I looked very back on my old post, the very first one and realized it was a bit cringe, Then again, it was 2020 And in that time I was using a crazy version of myself, and it wasn't very good, and to the people that had to deal with me being like that i'm sorry, I was trying to figure out ways to go through the pandemic to keep my insanity, but woopydo this crazy version of myself decided to take over, and say all the wrong things, again, sorry to all those people that had to deal with that, 😅

well enough about those shenanigans.

Here is a picture of me, Virgil and James, in.

*Clears throw to put on dramatic voice*

THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS.

Made by glitch productions, who are also the creators of murder drones, I really like that show.

And here's a little war of world comic.

and yeah that's pretty much it for today, I hope you enjoy, Have a good night or day depending wherever you are in the world, ^w^

bonus: oh, I got a little something in the works, it even has it's own blog, keep a look out for that everyone, Oh, by the way, I'm having trouble figuring out about the ask blog, don't worry it will be happening, and yes, it is called ask portal kill, because you literally asking questions to the people from the story, And yes, I'm having trouble with the story, I am so sorry for this, It's just that there has been a lot of things lately, and i'm not the best at making stories, but as soon as i'm done I will try my best to post it, I bet you're dying to know what I've done to the lovely portal characters.

but I swear to you it will be happening, Just got to figure out plots and that, and more back story shit, so yeah.

have a lovely night or day or wherever you are in the world again, byyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee, ^w^

p.s In the world the world comic, zoom in on James's eye, the one that is not purple, and you'll see something really cool as you scroll down, because you can barely see what is going on with his eyes, in each panel.

#portal #portal 2 #portal stories: mel #portal virgil #portal rainbow core #aperture tag #nigel aperture tag #portal space core #me/Virgilboy360 #V.B #the amazing digital circus #meet the cores #Murder drones #war of the world #Tom Jones instead of Tom Cruise joke.#lol #me in 2020 vs me in 2023

New World of Steam needs a memorable villain, and someone’s been dying to hog the spotlight for years…

Ft. my original design from the height of my Say Yes to the Dress phase the pandemic:

#professor layton #new world of steam #flora reinhold #monocle flora #nina draws #2020 VS 2023 #To be honest she always slayed #But at least this design doesn’t make me want to choke on all the lace #In case you’re wondering if Neo from RWBY was my inspiration the answer is YES absolutely

(Click for full image/quality)

I saw some folks reblogging and liking some old Super paper Mario art I did back in 2020. And seeing the reblogs reminded me of the drawings.

And I wanted to redraw one of the for old times sake! So i chose to redraw my old Mimi drawing to see how much my art has changed in the past like 3 years. And i'm already liking the results!

I'll post the full drawing when i finish it. But for now enjoy this side by side of the 2020 drawing (right) and the 2023 sketch I just drew (Left)

#mistifybyart #digital art #super paper mario #mimi #mimi spm #tw body horror #tw arachnophobia #tw mechanical gore #2020 vs 2023 art #if there are any other tags i should ad let me know!

i still can't believe despe won

(this will be the only thing i'll talk about for etc etc)

#dishesrambles #the way he won too #like he looked so strooonnggg #it reminded me a little of his match vs akira last bosj which altho i havent made a moty list 2023 yet that one would be on there #catnip for me #i could watch it another few times and not get bored of it #ive been fantasy booking him ofc. wanna see him vs titan and robbie. hope he keeps the belt until after bosj and also wins bosj #and he'd win in the finals against hiromu ofc how else #is that asking too much? perhaps!!!#i was just super convinced this would be a dope match but hiromu would continue and maybe get that record defenses he wanted #altho i also wasnt too excited about his title reign (tho i really like how he used it and went just about everywhere with it)#(also tbf i kinda wanted to see hiromu and naito both with belts and then do the match they were gonna do in 2020 but couldnt bc covid)#i still can't believe it. also didnt think it'd set my brain on fire like this. that match was so sexy #so excited to see where this goes with him #'the wrestler makes the belt' and theyre right bc DESPE HAS THE BELT #ahem anyway ny dash today with DESPE WITH HIS BELT

Personal question: would you be comfortable sharing some old art vs new art comparison over the years of you drawing? It's very inspiring to see how much people have improved and how far they've come.

Sure! If anyone ever wondered how much I worked on my main sona.. Here's realllyyy old art of him. The first drawing if I recall- made during my 2018-2019 big depresso after I hadn't drawn for almost a year if you count in between months.

This art is considerably worse than drawings I made before late 2018, but I went through a lot so you could say I experienced pretty bad muscle memory loss. It was part of my recovery and learning to care for myself. I didn't draw much during late 2018 and early 2019

Here's some of the most recent work of him:

As you probably can tell his design changed a lot. I used to draw hair really weird and wild, too. I've gotten used to making art with 3D aid.

This is art of my OC Asriel in 2019, I was really struggling a lot with finding my style again. This may be before I started leaning more on 3D, all though I can't tell. This might be drawn with Terawell Design Doll 3D pose as a thumbnail. (note; I pose stuff myself or adjust pre-made poses.) As you can see, 3D doesn't make your art look better, you need to actually understand anatomy somewhat to make it work.

This is my most recent drawing of Asriel. (All though this is technicly Asriel as ''PENDRA'' My coloring style has changed a lot, but I do have a lot of variety when it comes to rendering techniques.

I drew mostly traditional during my depression, which also were my more finished artworks at the time. (I'm not going in depth on my depression itself.)

Last time I drew Tsuki was in 2022, but you can see there's a massive difference in style, and how I draw hair.

I don't really use the above rendering anymore because it became exhausting though.

(I just realized all examples I've given are blonde OCs lol.)

Mizuki early 2020!

The redraw in 2022 (I think it may have been late 2022?) She got buff!!!

Anyway I hope this helps people who feel like their stuff hasn't changed much. Changes can be gradual, like 2020 looks similar to 2019, but the facial structure has changed while the rendering hasn't changed much. Then around 2021-2022 my style started to really form specific noticeable traits that I still really like today.

I'm really happy with my style atm. I like how I draw faces. I could still do better on expressions though- Most of my characters aren't super expressive due their personalities. As for rendering, thats often subject to change. I like a mix of soft shade with cell-shading feels. But comic-y Style.

I have best of the year shelves on goodreads that I make and wow looking back at my last year shelf compared to this one I’m having such a better reading year compared to the last… three years honestly I feel good about that!

#last year the only non reread reads that really moved me were Little Women and Circe and (lol) The Burning Maze others I put on that shelf #I enjoyed but not near fav extent. vs I have 9 books on the 2023 already (and Frankenstein’s def going to be 10th) and I loved them all!#2021 I really loved some books I read but read a really small quantity for me 2020 was like fine all things considered #in other ways am I doing well? Jury is out tbh but I’m :) about this #I also think the fact I let myself reread things more often now brings up my motivation/ability to get invested in new reads in a way if #that makes sense?#s speaks #musings #personal #not really but

THREE YEARS SINCE NOV 5TH, 2020 as summed up by Supernatural (sequel to this and this)

image ID & context below:

[image ID: screenshots of Supernatural paired with screenshots of various tweets, news headlines and Tumblr posts.

A screenshot of Ed and Harry in SPN 3x13 Ghostfacers saying "You gotta be gay for that poor dead intern" with a screenshot of Misha Collins at the SPNNJ 2023 convention saying "I got a call from Warner Bros and they were like hey uh...is there any world you just let it go?" This is in reference to an incident in 2022 where Misha accidentally made headlines after a comment that seemed to be referring to his sexuality. His comments at this year's panel imply that the studio in fact did not want him to retract the comment and make the apology that he posted, but to instead just roll with it.

A screenshot of Bobby saying "Time travel?" and Dean saying "Yeah" in SPN 6x18 with a headline that says "Jensen Ackles' Explains The Winchester's Multiverse Twist & Supernatural Connection." This is about the series finale of Jensen's Supernatural spinoff "The Winchesters", in which it is revealed Dean and the Impala somehow traveled the multiverse to the alternate timeline the show takes place in.

A screenshot of Dean in SPN 15x08 saying "He's back, and he's out of control" with a screenshot of Misha Collin's first Tumblr post in seven years, a video with him and his brother being a public nuisance on public transportation. Also included are screenshots of various Tumblr users reacting with tags from various tumblr users. becauseofthebowties: "mishacollinsofficial tumblr account back from the dead???" myboobsarentsentientbeings: "this is the first thing he posts? after nearly 7 years???" casismybestfriend: "RED FUCKING ALERT MISHA IS BACK ON TUMBLR" cannabiscasgate: "who the fuck gave you back your password"

A screenshot of two news anchors in SPN 14x20, with one (named Jack) telling his co-host "I love you" and her replying "Jack?" with screenshots of the Destiel/Supernatural Confession meme trending multiple times this year with other current events topics like Russia, Titanic, etc. There is also a screenshot of a post by saintedcastiel that says "I cannot believe that since we started using the destiel meme as a breaking news alert that there hasn't been ONE destiel news anchor AU fic where they're co-anchors on the morning news. cas confessed on accident while they're on air and dean doesn't know how to respond so he just reads the next thing on the teleprompter."

A screenshot of Dean in SPN 5x14 as Cupid says "I-I was just following orders" with a screenshot of an anonymous Tumblr ask to user luxshine. The ask says "Hey! I was wondering if you have any updates on the LATAM dub situation and if you were/will able to contact the dub director". luxshine says "Hi! Well I could get the translator (you know, our dear rogue translator) and he told me that while he doesn't remember it completely (because he translates a lot of series) if Dean said "And I you" it's because the script he got said "And" I you" and the video he saw said "And I you" because he doesn't add stuff." This is in reference to a change in Spanish LATAM dub of Castiel's confession SPN 15x18, which added a line where Dean reciprocates, which was previously suspected to be a change added by the LATAM dubbing director or translator

A screenshot of a detective from SPN 8x08 saying, "[Chuckles] Whatever you say Scully" with a screenshot of the tumble blr blog ao3topshipsbracket's poll "AO3 Top Relationships Bracket - Round 2 Side 1" with Fox Mulder/Dana Scully (The X-Files) vs. Castiel/Dean Winchester (Supernatural.) In the final results from 51,514 votes, Mulder/Scully won by 53% and Castiel/Dean won by 47%. In early 2023, Tumblr added a polls feature which has led to numerous content, debates, and bracket polls similar to this.

A screenshot from SPN 11x15 where Dean says "No money, no glory" with a headline that says "Supernatural creator Eric Kripke gets 'zero' residuals from Netflix"

A screenshot of Dean rising from his grave in SPN 4x01 with a screenshot of a post from the official CW Supernatural Instagram with a clip from the pilot episode and the caption "And the story continues..." and a comment from a user that says "THE STORY CONTINUES?? WTF ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US?? I HAVE ANXIETY YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME." For context, no one is sure if the post was supposed to reference new content from Supernatural or not but it has led to speculation.

A screenshot of SPN 8x01, with the onscreen lyric "Another year has passed me by."

#almost thought there wouldn't be enough for a year three post but here we are once again #destiel #spn #supernatural #nov 5th #november 5th #destiel anniversary #destiel confession meme #destiel news #deancas #nov5thposting #ntjdmakesthings

I decided to make my analysis of So High School into a separate post, because I can’t help but think of this song every time I see photos of Taylor at the games. And sure, it sounds like a love song on the surface until you remember that Taylor was bullied in high school and start to dig a little deeper. Feeling "so high school" is not something a 34 year old woman wants to feel.

Let’s look at the lyrics.

"I'm sinking, our fingers entwined, cheeks pink in the twinkling lights" = To me this sounds like drowning, embarrassment, and diving in with the sharks

"Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me" = You mean her first Chiefs appearance when they 'slid off in the getaway car' at the end? Nothing good starts in a getaway car, babes.

"I'll drink what you think and I'm high from smoking your jokes all damn night" = I mean...

“I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night" = What do we know about this movie? We know that it is renowned for its high school immaturity and misogyny. It’s about a bunch of horny boneheaded men who treat women like sex objects instead of people. Sounds a lot like football culture to me.

"Your friends are around so be quiet. I'm trying to stifle my sighs." = I'm in the box with your friends and family. I need to hold it together so I don't offend them, but I legit hate this.

"Cause I feel so high school" = SHE HATES THIS.

"Bittersweet 16 suddenly" = I don't think she was a fan of high school, you guys.

"Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? It's just a game but really, I'm betting on all 3." = A clear reference to that kiss/marry/kill interview with Travis, while also saying "we're gonna get together, put on a show for everyone, and I'm going to slowly die inside until we're done."

"Get my car door, isn't that sweet. Now pull me to the backseat" = All I hear with this is Movie Director Taylor giving instructions to her leading man so they can get a good reaction from the audience.

"You know how to ball, I know Aristotle." = You're a jock. I'm a nerd. We are not compatible.

"Touch me while your bros play grand theft auto." = The official song lyrics on Spotify put grand theft auto in lowercase the first time and capitalized the second time. The capitalized GTA could refer to Travis's friends playing the video game, sure. But also - you know who was arrested in August 2023 for grand theft auto? Bashaud Breeland, a cornerback for the Kansas City Chiefs who played with Travis in the 2020 Super Bowl.

"It's true, swear, Scout's Honor" = Look it up, I dare you.

And my absolute favorite:

"On the brink of a wrinkle in time" = This is TTPD, folks. Of course there's going to be a literary reference. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. The main character is a girl named Meg who is incredibly bright but struggles in school because she doesn't fit in with the other kids. After meeting a trio of badass witchy women, Meg travels to far-off worlds (a sort of deep portal time travel, you might say) where she joins the battle of light vs. darkness. What do we know about Taylor’s usage of light and darkness throughout her discography? It's giving… Reputation vs. Daylight? Shrouded in secrecy vs. out in the open? Based on everything else that Taylor has been hinting at through TTPD (not to mention Evermore and Midnights), it sounds like she is on the verge of diving into a much larger battle. And if I had to guess, I would bet that this battle will start during the Reputation re-release. Around Halloween. 🎃 When exile ends. Almost exactly 2 years after the Bejeweled music video was released. Maybe the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now cause she's dead?

I'm just speculating, but I will add that the 3rd book in the Time series is called A Swiftly Tilting Planet. There is a poem referenced through the book that goes like this:

With Ananda in this fateful hour, I place all Heaven with its power, And the sun with its brightness, And the snow with its whiteness, And the fire with all the strength it hath, And the lightning with its rapid wrath, And the winds with their swiftness along its path, And the sea with its deepness, And the rocks with their steepness, And the Earth with its starkness, All these I place with God's almighty help and grace between myself and the powers of darkness.

The word ‘Ananda’ mentioned above is the name of a character in the book, which is significant to the story because it’s a Sanskrit word that describes the eternal bliss that accompanies the ending of the rebirth cycle. If this series is what Taylor is referencing then it’s sounding more and more like she’s going to kill off Taylor TM and be done with the games, done with the reinvention. The plot summary of A Swiftly Tilting Planet says that it’s a book about "going back in time and changing might-have-beens." What decisions would she have made differently if she could do it all over again?

I don't know, friends. Take from this what you will. All I know is, this woman and all her brilliant duality is going to send me to a padded room. ✌🏻

enews Longtime couple, Y/N Y/LN and Timothée Chalamet have reportedly split, sources say. The couple have been on the rocks for a while after a video of Timothée has been seen circulating the internet getting cozy with a mystery girl.
