I can’t be the only member of the unhealthily obsessed with gravity falls as a kid to unhealthily obsessed with malevolent as an adult pipeline

#yes these are some of the sketches that are old but I tricked you cause I did clean them up prior to posting #just so they like. make sense #the problem with these is that now I’m thinking about the implications and I’ve got like a whole au in my head #malevolent #my art #gravity falls #malevolent podcast #Arthur lester #John doe #dipper pines #kayne malevolent #bill cipher #anyway arthur and John circa season 2 get transported into the future and into Oregon and they wander into a shack in the woods with weird #signs looking for medical help because Arthur is once again fucking dying and dipper is like. yellow eyed BITCH oh wait no this is different #fuck what’s wrong with this British man

Old man who lives in the mountains with his pet wolves

#hoof draws #submas #<-was supposed to be a quick warmup </3 #once again thinking about ingo accidentally endearing himself to the entire zoroark population of the highlands #and becoming a local cryptid who's constantly tailed by a handful of giant wolves #i think challenging an old man and then having to fight a handful of shapeshifters who have taken his shape to maul you. would b something

so if roy was born in 1982, he turned 17 in 1999. the 1998-1999 season, when roy turned 17 (feb 99) sunderland was in the first division (what is now the championship), but we know from trent's article that roy made his debut in the premier league, so the 1999-2000 season, towards the end of his time being 17. they finished 7th in the premier league that year!

anyways here's roy's kits from his debut year, home and away :)

i realised i never did post anything for triage 1 mil....well, heres thumbnail redraw!

#milgram #milgram fanart #shidou kirisaki #milgram project #sand speaks #i put EFFORT into that expression....anyways triages thumbnail makes me so sad. warning btw i go insane in the rest of the tags #a reminder of what was and can never again be. esp juxtaposed with the more raggard shidou. looking into a fucked up mirror except YOURE th #fucked up one not the mirror image #also it amazes me how like. happy he looks in triage's thumbnail. that + how the other him never smiles once in the mv #man makes me so very sad. imagine having lost everything and yet needing to live for the sake of others. not even for yourself because ther #is nothing left of the old you to live for. ouggghghgh. sorry the tags turned into me being all sad about triage #look at man. he go :D #was debating posting this but i think i like how it looks actually so

Shadow is not over 50 years old! He's 15 just like Sonic! He was in stasis for 50 years but he didn't age at all during that time!

#ramblings #once again i must stop myself from going 'um actually' on random peoples' posts #but i hate people thinking he's actually an old man or something when he's not #he's a teenager just like most of the other characters #i mean the boomer jokes are funny and all and you can make great fics about him being caught up with modern stuff #but he's still a kid and always has been

He likes to scavenge for drugs during the night. He’ll eat a few plots of menticide straight out of the ground at 2 in the morning if you leave him.

hence why he's a raccoon of an ant that digs around in my farms at night. little freak of a man. love him.

#I need to do his quest properly but I wanna get an amulet of immortality first #and then he can be an old man in peace #tbh I think he'd still be kind of a freak even after being cured of shrooms. he's just kinda like that to me #I'd do weed with him. I think it'd be fun #not mushrooms tho I don't know enough about them. plus they probably smell and I don't really like the smell of weed. I like the soda more #nice and odorless. my gummies taste fine (they're raspberry) but they smell pretty bad #actually I think it'd be fun if he just does weed after he gets off the shrooms. much safer and less likely to take over his brain #hmm. domestic/modern au where he's a recovering addict from hard drugs but will still dabble in weed #actually I'm noticing a theme where I get attached to the weird outcast characters in media. clearly I have a type #also wow this has once again become #churchy tag rambles #churchy talks #asks #cult of the lamb #sozo cult of the lamb #sozo cotl #cult of the lamb sozo #cotl sozo #sozo #tw drug mention #cw drug mention

feeling solidarity these holidays with everyone not allowed to talk about their partner with the family

#for some reason i too am not allowed to bring him up when my dad is present because he gets really uncomfortable about it #and my mom has to come tell me off about it in private bc he wont say the problem directly to me #thunderclap #i understand the problem but what the hell man im almost 27 years old #its extra annoying cause ive been to his house a lot already and i know his parents and have a good relationship with them #but my parents absolutely REFUSE to let him come here because again itd make my dad uncomfortable to have us (checks notes) #living in the same space?? #my GRANDPARENTS have seen my partner more than my parents have #i just think its annoying as hellll holy shit all i did was bring up miguel sleeptalking and say hes woken me up once or twice saying stuff #and my mom told me off on it after like 'dont bring up you being in bed with your guy in front of your dad' HUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! #HUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO INFER THAT AS THE MEANING TO WHAT I SAID... I WAS JUST TELLING A FUNNY ANECDOTE #THAT HAD 100% TO DO WITH THE CONVO WE WERE HAVING (SLEEPWALKING) #ARRGHGGHGHGHGH THIS IS JUST LIKE COSMIC ONLINE REACHING BUT IRL

AB had so many good expressions in Part 2 but these ones specifically make me lose coherence

The whole dark academia thing is annoying and pseudo intellectual posturing and that post about y'all wanting to be monks is absolutely correct but unfortunately.... It is such a helpful quick-search term on Pinterest. Yes I DO want collared shirts and earth tones and knit sweaters and largely gnc outfits. Unfortunately I DO enjoy dressing like a badly closeted middled aged male professor meets 'gays at brunch' + disregard for pattern and colour matching. I have to accept the algorithm ruining nature of this unfortunate reality even tho it means I get rec'd some of the wooooorst 'historical retellings' I've ever had the misfortune to hear about

#the duality of fran #yes i AM thinking abt clothes once again #i love clothing!!!! i simply hate most womens clothing #anyway im!!!!! #gonna start finessing my fits #i feel sooooo much better abt myself when i do #its not even a conformity thing #bro3 says i dress like an old man #its like!!! its a me thing!!! an expression thing!!! a happy thing!!! #anyway every ugly tacky button up meets browns and greens and creams and oranges and wines #i need to wear less blue. it doesnt make me happy. #no more wearing clothes that make me unhappy! #no more wearing clothes that im neutral about. tbh!!! its gotta spark joy!!! #if i have to have a physical form i am going to learn to love it dammit

so sorry but it does throw me off when i see cas calling dean "baby"

#or babe. other pet names are eh but #i think he calls dean babe ONCE and dean is like excuse me what the fuck did you just say to me #it sounds wrong #and i think cas just does it bc he thinks that's how you're supposed to refer to the love of your life #i think he calls dean ''my love'' i think he says it in the same tone as ''you can't save everyone my friend'' #i also think he says it in multiple languages #BUT also. just ''dean'' #it's in the way he says it like nothing else could better express his love #DEAN calls cas babe though #not baby because that is the car and that's a hard boundary that cas set #dean you will not refer to me the same way you do your car #also at the beginning he was disgruntled. dean i am not an infant #but then it clicked that it wasn't another baby in a trenchcoat incident #dean also calls him lots of pet names that start off as jokes and stick :) #''good morning sunshine'' -> just sunshine as a pet name #angel as a joke that turns into something reverent and serious #honey when he's joking about being old men but maybe he WANTS to be an old man with cas #SWEETHEART. sweetheart is cute and cheesy and one of cas' favorites #also buddy (you are the love of my life) pal (please never leave me again) and man (you mean everything to me)

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!

#i think it's particularly maddening bc we have seen characters be able to understand civillian matt is like. more than just Blind Man. #i am always highly aware of period typical writing and can remember the context etc etc but sometimes. #sometimes it truly. truly does drive me up the wall. especially when other characters have been capable of not being That Level #of infantalizing. again foggy still isn't much better in a lot of respects he is just as capable of and has been as infantilizing #and insulting as karen has been. for sure. on multiple occassions. no questions asked. but i dont think he does it to the extent karen does #as in we dont see it on page just as much. it's just a bit less. so we see karen focus on it far more. to an almost exaggerated extent #part of that is the romance plot of ohhh i cannot possibly love a blind man while foggy is matt;s best friend of many years #so of course it will be in the way of the stan lee and old romance comics schools of writing that this goes down and is written like this. #of course we see her focus on it a touch more in a different way bc she's still getting to know matt and hasnt witnessed him #for about like a decade(? they met in undergrad right?) function on his own the way foggy has. but jesus christ man. good god. #at a certain point even with the period time context it does just still leave a bad taste. at certain points it becomes less eye roll #and far more maddening and hard to push down. bc it is gross. no matter what time period it is. #again. both of them are pretty disrespectful towards matt about it at this point even if mostly in their inner monologues or dialogues #with each other and not super to matt's face about it every time. but still. sometimes karen drives me far more crazy about it than foggy. #becase at least foggy can in fact recognize every now and then. matt is a perfectly capable grown man who can function and thrive. #and is someone who lives independently but also can know how to get assistance when needed. #while karen at this point has never really once given matt the benefit of that assumption despite witnessing his capabilities. #because even with his act of trying to fit the image ppl have of him. he still functions within that! and shows he can do things! #and ask for help when he needs it! even within his act of making himself smaller and quieter for others. #he's still like. adult man who lives his life. and does stuff on his own time. #i cant really speak about matt on any more deeper level than that in regards to his disabilities. i am not disabled. #i only speak as a reader and someone watching what these characters do and have proven to be able to do and how they act. #so i can only talk about karen and foggy's behaviors and attitudes in that regard. #and also as a person with like. basic understanding of other ppl living their lives. that all ppl live their own damn lives however it is #like most ppl on planet earth. #i apologize if any of my wording here is bad or if i dont talk on it well as none of this in the real world stuff is my lived experience #and you are free to go hey. incorrect. think about that or word that differently. #ok i promise im done now it's just. EUGH. UGH!!!!! #static.soundz

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

#metalocalypse #jay talkin #I'm sorry they wrote that awful gross little man far too likeable and relatable to on a trans level #for me not to hoot and holler and cheer for the trans pickles agenda #changes nothing about his character arc or any of the show anyone is capable of being the kind of person he is #don't make the mistake of thinking thats exclusive to cis men #his transness wouldnt change that #only adds on an extra layer to him that i think works fantastically. #Listen that dude was rejected by his family driven to drink and drugs young to escape that ran away to be in a band #is called fucking Pickles of all things and refuses to tell anyone his real last name; #over the span of four seasons and two movies he slowly starts to learn to be for others what he never had #he becomes more caring more supportive #it's not a stretch to say he undoes some of the toxic masculinity he's been keeping himself shielded behind #and learns how to be a kinder man. #all of which have no contradictions with him being trans! #In fact it doesn't take much extra thought to find ways a lot of this can line up with some trans masculine experiences #i mean. Did no one else have a younger phase where they swung as far as they could into crass rude and uncaring ways #to try and assert their masculinity only to grow and realise that you can be a man and be more caring. #Did no one else have father issues. 1 800 come on now i know those are both shared experiences a lot of us have had LOL. #at the end of the day this show aired nearly 20 years ago and is finished. we're not getting more of it #so nothing is altered nor changed if pickles is canonically trans or not ok. its fine #i mean hell i dont even need canon confirmation hes trans to me and thats all i care abt #but i think if yr getting suuuuuper weird abt needing him not to be canonically trans you have some issues #and bio essentialist ideals of gender if you think only a cis man can act like he does #again. anyone can be like that. its not exclusive. him being trans would not change him in any way shape or form lol #AND ALSO GODDDUUUGH for once i love getting to see a guy pushing 50 whos depicted as trans #do you have any idea how dire and barren it is out here. we never get to see a trans guy older than 30 and whos not a pristine model #I WANT MORE OLD SHLUBBY SHITHEAD TRANS GUYS IN MEDIA

i feel like bertrand is the kind of guy who would delightedly drive a station wagon, but beatrice refuses to let him. a station wagon is too basic. this is how bertrand winds up with a 1960 chevy nomad wagon, sky blue. meanwhile, beatrice drives a red 1960 ford starliner

additionally kit drives a black 1950 cadillac series 62 coupe deville

#i love station wagons.......but i also feel like. station wagons are so.........specific. like. god it's such a specific dad family car #beatrice 1) wants a good family car but also 2) refuses a regular station wagon. #the chevy nomad wagon had style. #once again lulu vandelay googles cars instead of making words but no regerts. have you seen these cars?? gorgeous. #HERE'S THE THING. I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN CARS. I'M NOT A CAR PERSON. AT ALL. #but i like looking at old cars and picking out what i think characters would drive. #best friend: OLD CARS DON'T HAVE CRUMPLE ZONES #me thinking as best friend keeps talking about crumple zones: .........but they have such personality.............so boxy........ :( #anyway last week was how i learned about crumple zones!! #i mean i knew about like the idea of them but not like. the term for them. the real concept of it #lulu talks about the sad lemon man #I KEEP FORGETTING TO USE MY TAG. I HAVE MISSED PUTTING SUCH JOYOUS NUGGETS IN MY LEMON MAN TAG PROBABLY. MY APOLOGIES

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors #infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like #he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in #black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression #but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience #plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns #Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me #like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions #he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self #righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand #saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault #but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up #I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me #you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his #head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead #to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home #like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol #also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate #when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man #it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through #these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted #fallout #fallout new vegas #Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant #I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished #ulysses fnv #fnv ulysses #lonesome road

Stares off into the distance. Garp believes in Luffy so much. Believe isn't even the right word, he knows. He knew Roger. He knows if there's anyone who's going to do it, it's Luffy. He knew it early on and it terrified him. Just as he knew Roger's sotry, he knows how this story ends. He's terrified. He loves his grandson. He knows who he works for. He knows the powers in charge. But Luffy kept proving the world wrong again and again and again and even he couldn't deny anymore that if there's anyone who can make it and survive, it's Luffy. He's so damn proud, he always has been. Luffy's going to be the one and he knows it to be a fact as given as the sea.
