#genshin impact #dainkae #dainsleif #kaeya #kaeya alberich #this piece beat my ass so hard #i had an entire composition planned out with inteyvats and peacock feathers #but i couldn't do it #in the end the only thing i could do was salvage whatever i could from the piece and throw something together

Nekydallon’s stalwart partner, Dulcis Pavo! Her eyes and ears to the world most days. Every fight, she uses an akuma to grant him a new power to best suite the situation at hand. Pavo purposefully avoids creating sentimonsters from a sense of honor, but when he does in emergencies, he leaves them with Neky to assist in protecting her.

#my art #peacock miraculous #dulcis pavo #his shirt is actually a lot of feathers layered over each other #they flare out if you get too close to hide his face #and yes. he spends a lot of money on antihistamines and allergy meds #adrien agreste #villains au #im making an au out of it now. yeah

playing dress up with aventurine. where he’s your pretty little doll. trying on clothes because he likes to show off how pretty he looks in everything. except the clothes gets progressively raunchier… and sluttier… and more revealing. until he finally comes out in just lingerie, expecting some kind of reaction from you.

but you’ve just been looking on with a mild smile on your face, barely even a chuckle as he climbs onto your lap. aventurine can feel the familiar anxiety in his belly, the doubt growing in his mind. but he can’t turn back now; instead he grabs your hands, bringing them to his waist as he puts on the overconfident expression he knows all too well.

he spills his honeyed words, his eyes drawing you in. he’s far too pretty—gorgeous even—for you to ignore him like that. so he toys with the loosely tied bow across his chest; it wasn’t meant to stay tied for long, one small tug and it all comes undone.

he feels your thumbs rubbing along his waist, hands squeezing slightly and aventurine feels right on the edge. so, so close, he’s almost got you. the thrill of winning just within reach, just a little more…

“you look amazing in this one as well, i’m sure your lover will deeply enjoy it,” your easy smile and relaxed frame gave nothing away, toying with the silky fabric of the lingerie.

and he nearly stumbles as you move to stand, signaling the end of your little ‘meeting’. you’re not sure what he’s looking to gain from doing this, especially since he has yet to propose some kind of deal to you. however, it was getting late, and it wouldn’t look too good on either of you if you were seen leaving his residence so late in the night.

“if there’s no other outfits to show me, i think i’ll take my leave then. have a good night, aventurine.”

you’re gone before he can even think of an excuse to make you stay. or rather, if him dressing up like such in front of you isn’t enough to get you to stay, what else is a man to do?

#turns out #you’re denser than a bag of bricks #oopsies #you’re just coworkers #friends if we’re being generous :) #did i cook with this or am i actually tweaking rn i don’t know #sometimes u follow a train of thought and it leads you to funky town #anyway #i want him to be desperate #wracking his brain thinking HOW DO I GET THEM TO WANT MEEEEEEE wails and cries #he’s a peacock of course #he only shows off his pretty feathers and draws you in #but you have to be the attacker heh #he can’t make the first move what is he desperate (he is) #the first person to fall is the loser obviously #and aventurine never loses #six.writes #hsr aventurine #aventurine honkai star rail #dom!reader #sub aventurine #honkai star rail

This is Goemon's Clue set. (Technically, he's in one other card, but your pick-up of that depends entirely on how much "Lupin Y" shenanigans you know about.)

Roles selected because:

Actually, I think he'd hate playing as Mrs. White, but it'd be something he would get defaulted to. But, at least that "Alcatraz Connection" outfit looks nice on him!

Dude's also an arrogant little bastard.

In light of Yasha getting a peacock feather tattoo for Molly, I am once again thinking of how she was there when Molly got most of his. How Tealeaf and Yasha could've gone and gotten more together after the campaign. How Mollymauk came out as genderfluid when he first got his peacock feathers; the fact that she really knows just how much they mean to him--

Did Kingsley go with Yasha when she got her peacock tattoo?? Did he give her a little playful poke in return, ask for the story? Does he still have his? ....Or is this very recent. Does Kingsley know, has he seen it yet? How does it make his heart feel, to know that he was loved so much in another life, Beau and Yasha both got matching tattoos of his--

#critical role spoilers #mighty nein spoilers #mollymauk tealeaf #kingsley tealeaf #yasha #i just...have a lot of feelings about this... #yasha must have got those peacock feathers cause out of all the tattoos she knew they meant the most to molly-- #how would king feel-- #has he gotten a tattoo for her in turn--

some art I've done recently since I always forget to post it here (because 99% of the time I try, it won't upload and won't tell me what went wrong, so I usually don't bother, but this time I'm gonna! fingers crossed). if you wanna see more art from me i post regularly on my instagram

#vulture culture #bone art #everything's ethically sourced (found it on the ground) #including the peacock feathers. they live around here and nobody knows who they belong to but the whole town watches out for em

[quirkeduptransguy]

YES my username on yt is a blood bros reference :33 i need to go to crimes world again i know in my heart and soul that i love her but i seldom show her attention .. i need to care her more ..

HOOFRAY!!!! also pretty please do!!!!!!! for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#such a good album it is Insane that like. you never really see it talked about outside of certain spaces #and even then it was originally derided for being much less heavy than its predecessors #such a smart album lyrically and even in just like certain songs like peacock skeleton with crooked feathers #which btw is my go-to song to introduce people 2 them #for obvious reasons. the way the vocals play off each other #the keyboard #aforementioned lyrics because man they’re good at writing political lyrics that are simultaneously very pointed and relevant to this day #and also just plain fun. the way they word stuff rolls off the tongue very well #which I suppose is very much in part to Whitney being a very literary guy from what I’ve read up about him #SPEAKING OF!!!!! Jesus Christ the vocals. the vocals #(positive) #very very powerful for a guy who was like…. 21-22 at the time of recording I’d reckon? #I know whitney’s vocals are a turn off for the band for most people but imo? it’s one of the main appeals. 2 me he is like an insanely good #vocalist. almost jealous that he can hit those notes as a cis guy and I can’t cause omfg in like. wolf party near the end #HOW DOES A GUY MANAGE THAT….. #I love how they incorporated elements of other genres in it. like I don’t see them as indie rock like people #for whatever reason #like to describe them as in that album #but you can hear the elements. bringing up wolf party again cause nick zinner did some of the guitar in that and he’s in an indie band no? #yeah yeah yeahs or whatevs. they’re cool seeming I should check ‘em out #ALSO sorry I kind of glossed over Blilie. he’s really fucking good in the album obvs!!!! #pretty sure he did the album art which. omfg it’s had an aesthetic chokehold on me as of late #and also just. he has a nice voice #the sort of warbley thing he has and also his screams… goated #contrary to my posting #I’m actually a bliliegirl I’d consider myself lol. Whitney happens to also have a psychic chokehold on me #this is obvious. I go by Johnny and want to go blonde HMMMMM I WONDER WHY.. #my bad for rambling in tags I just. I love that album so deeply #it’s very meaningful to my identity and songs like the title track and beautiful horses just. get me right at my core #evil neighing compilation

I said to him, "Kid, I'm gonna close this screen door then I am gonna grab this bundle of peacock tail feathers and I am gonna hit you while you run around the room trying to escape. Be happy that I am not hitting you with a broom.

Once I stop hitting you you're gonna look at me with those big scared eyes and pitifully make a sound, probably asking me why.

So I'm gonna come up to you, grab your neck and then hold your face in my hand forcing you to look at me. And I'm gonna tell you, 'Because you climbed on the table and pissed behind the printer at 1 AM in the night.'

After that I'll allow you to run out of the room in fear and hide from me for a short while."

#domestic violence #i guess #Also to anyone scared about this #The kid in here is my cat #And I did hit him with the peacock feathers but he made a game out of it and really enjoyed trying to catch them #I did not shout at him cause it was the night but I did angrily tell him that I won't allow him on the bed for what he's done l #Now he's next to me in the bathroom but he is sleeping #He did looked chastised so I hope he learns not to piss on tables

I think it’s so funny how i went from “i don’t get why people would dress up, what is so fun about it, i am just like whatever” and now i am like “i am going grocery shopping so i will put on a fancy little waistcoat and spend 5 minutes in front of the mirror deciding on the colour of the collar ribbon to go with it”

#like i get geniuly excited about picking out outfits now #tbh is it dressing up as a woman/girl vs dressing up as a guy? #probably #duck talks bullshit #anyway i look AMAZING in my waistcoat #went with a green shirt and my yellow peacock feather waistcoat and a red ribbon

judging by the "fixes" they've applied to fern and i'm fairly sure also to a few other genes, they likely intend to flatten and generic-ify EVERY gene that does anything interesting with especially the top feathers portion of the wings. :/

#flight rising #the ridiculously strict standardization guidelines they seem to put every gene through recently are actively detrimental to looking good #i don't know why they can't seem to get the idea that different body shapes showing the same gene a little differently is a GOOD thing #rather than every single gene appearing to be the exact same flat pasted on texture. undel's book had a whole thing on that how'dthey forge #we like it when each dragon's shape does something a little unique with gene expression! it makes it worth actually having different breeds #i think whatever tone-deaf standardization guidelines they're following are likely also actively detrimental to ancient breed design creati #and might even be part of the reason why we haven't gotten any dragons with stuff like turtle shells for the secondary gene yet #because under the current personality-sucking apparent standardization guidelines they would not be allowed to try to adapt any modern gene #to a shell-backed dragon shape #because tweaking them to work on that shape and actually look good would be considered by their standards changing them too much #even though the difference on a majority of genes wouldn't be any greater than the difference between some genes on skydancer vs other wing #under the standardization rules they seem to follow they may literally not be allowed to design even any ancient dragons w/ nonwing seconda #much less with any truly mold-breaking shapes or concepts of wings. they seem to struggle just with figuring out how to apply it to feather #off the top of my had some wing-“wing”-and secondary gene area ideas that would be absolutely possible but i'm fairly sure they'd never do- #“feathers” are actually smaller membranous wings like a fractal. mane. elaborate peacock tail instead of wings. body fins. head frill. bell #throat fan. head crest. overlapping hard scalelike spines flattened into something like a spinosaurus crest. sailfin 2!. inorganic wings. #all of these things are entirely feasible and i have thought on how to adapt genes to them extensively but they would likely never do it #because peregrine-for example-would look perfectly fine-better even- applied to the trailing edges of overlapping armadillo plates #except fr's standardization rules seem to be so ridiculously strict that they would say it can only be on the trailing edge of a wing shape #they just seem to want every gene to be the exact same pasted on flat texture on everything even when it makes no sense on the dragon shape #and even when following that design principle actively looks worse. which it mostly does. it demands they suck the 3d out of everything. #so we end up with a game where every dragon looks like someone put a cutout of a texture on it and adapting it to the 3d shape is a “bug” #give us MORE breeds with anatomical features that cause small but consistent deviations in the depiction of genes! #not less! #it's the tundra butterfly dark manes all over again #we LIKE slight variety that makes sense on the dragon's unique shape! unique forms demand unique adaptations! not flattening! #undel wrote an entire section of an artbook about how patterns should be adapted to your subject's anatomy and shape how did they all forge #is this one of those corporate “to preserve our brand identity” things? is it a loud minority/“listening to the wrong feedback” thing? #it's gotten to the point that there's basically no point even scrying most breeds until at least a year after they come out #because inevitably they're going to abruptly “fix” every single gene that looks interesting and good

finally did a quick scribble of my mlp Volo design.

#the top of his wings are supposed to be white by the way #by all means do i think Volo SHOULD be a unicorn BUT no matter he will never be one #he's the odd one out in a family full of mostly unicorns and he hates it. #he technically is a false alicorn do to making his deal with the mlp equivalent of giratina but as of his modern times #he can't manifest that ability anymore as he's too weak/low energy and it takes a lot out of him #he also can't fly anymore because his wings are busted and feathers are falling (or being ripped) out #also he is specifically a Ancient pegasi #meaning he's taller more angular and has claws on his legs & wings as well as 4 canines. they were omnivores #they also have bigger wingspans than modern day pegasi and more feathery on the flank/back & neck #his peacock feathering is for intimidation #volo #pokemon wielder volo #pokemon #mlp #mlp au #my little pony #PLA #pokemon legends arceus #loki's art #ALSO forgot to say that he doesn't & prob won't ever get a cutie mark!

I missed out on that "the horror fan/the gateway horror movie" thing that went around Twitter recently because I spent too long thinking about it. It's hard for me to imagine one movie that got me into horror; it was always just a general vibration, a /spooky shit/ neighborhood I wanted to live in. But the thought exercise reminded me that not everybody is a darkness omnivore; I personally know horror fans who have zero interest in true crime, or the paranormal, and I even know one passionate horror buff who says he dgaf about Halloween the actual holiday. (He's a devoted Christmas person, which is a very goth characteristic, but anyway) But I still tend to think you know in your bones that you love horror, it's hard for me to imagine having it pointed out to you, as a surprise, by one specific piece of media.

That said, I felt really gratified when Joe Bob Briggs talked about Disney's SNOW WHITE last Walpurgisnacht, in relation to the birth of Italian horror. The cartoon was an avowed influence on Bava and Argento (which is extremely obvious in the case of SUSPIRIA), and its impact is not regionally specific. It's a bedrock element of horror as we know it, and it is probably the first movie I saw in a theater when I was very little.

SNOW WHITE was a religious experience for me then, in the church-like environment of our shabby, red velvet-upholstered second-run theater. And more than piquing my love of horror, it also conveyed something about the semiotics of being a brunette. I know the Wicked Queen isn't properly a brunette, but I think that black cowl gives you the right impression, so that you get this dichotomy of brunettes being either:

A) Sickly virgins whose proximity to death allows them to communicate with animals and various liminal creatures, or

B) Domineering ice queens who inflict death and exist in a general state of erotic violence.

I grew up during a time when the blonde reigned supreme, and I think SNOW WHITE really supported my self-esteem as a brunette, even if it might be better to have black hair than brown. Oh well, sometimes close enough is good enough. Anyway, you can always wear a cowl.

right ok so.

i was just at a con. con was fun (but exhausting and also a lil overwhelming)

i bought stuff at con.

i bought fancy looking dip pens at con. three. one is glass, one is a red feather pen, and the third is a peacock feather pen.

my eyesight is Not Great and neither is my ability to focus in a noisy room, and these are known facts about me

i was going through my new pens to inject serotonin into my brain and caught sight of one of them now that i'm able to focus on things and

uh

😬😬😬

what the fuck do i do now

#rosie babbles #ew #uh. what do i do with this. what do i do now. #it feels like the IRL version of seeing a post with a specific word in it or of a specific thing (in this case a peacock feather dip pen) #blacking out and hitting reblog #only to have someone msg you to remind you to check usernames and Holy Fuck The OP Is A Bigoted Jackass #except a bajillion times worse because a reblog is not A Monetary Transaction
