Limited clothing options. True story.

#kris staying in the same clothes every day is so funny to me #of course it makes sense in a game play standpoint but man it’s so funny when characters just stay in the same clothes every day #truly enjoy it so much man #bread #deltarune #kris #art #my art #comic #mini comic #deltarune comic

If I saw a nutcracker nobody could stop me

#I don't know what's happening to me I usually draw only my own characters this is scary. Unprecedented behavior from me. #beebfreeb art tag #ms paint #lethal company #lethal company nutcracker #My wifi has been going out regularly so I haven't actually been able to play in a bit autism taking over controlling me or whatever. #I hear that metal clunking I hear that 400+ lb footsteps I giggle and twirl my cables like hair. I don't know.

[magic-owl]

I don’t believe in gatekeeping at all but if you flat out admit to me that you’ve consumed little to ZERO of the canon media and have gotten all of your information based off of reading fluffy fic with woobified characters, I will not be taking ANY of your fandom opinions or meta seriously

#i will clarify: you’re more than allowed to have fun! write all the fic you want and play in the sandbox! #but do NOT ever act like you know what you’re talking about lol #‘canon is Wrong and i’ve only read fanfic so that makes me an expert on these characters uwu’ #STOP IT NO #one of my friends thought i shouldn’t kick the beehive #but i’m ready #owl blabs

[fleshdyke]

me when theres themes and motifs and symbolism and storytelling and colour language

#like the slightest most basic storytelling elements make me INSANE. why. #like holy shit this character wears a colour. no fucking way they were insane for this #<- was literally in charge of costuming for a play last year and putting character and story elements into th costumes was like my whole job #rambles #100 #best #1k

[hellishfig]

for the amount of time i spend thinking about erika ishii, i do not post about them NEARLY enough

everything i've ever seen them in, they have been fully dialed in. they understand the genre, they understand the character they're playing, and they NEVER. FUCKING. MISS

my current dnd character is actually based on multiple characters of erika's that i enjoy. my character is a witch (like ame of worlds beyond number fame [thank you to the witch class playtest]) but she is also a brewer who grows weed and shrooms, and deals them, and does them (and her personality is very much modeled off of danielle barkstock in dimension 20's the seven)

i feel that many of my favorite moments from erika are often focused on other characters. but many of those character moments would not have been possible without erika's incredible roleplay and sense for storytelling

and when the moment IS focused on erika's character? spellbinding. groundbreaking. from ame talking to orima in the overgrown shrine to danielle getting a nat 20 at the masquerade ball, i always fall into the scene and feel it so deeply due to erika's skill and poise and commitment to the story being told

tldr i think erika ishii is incredibly talented and wonderful

#didn't mention ava burrow's end here BUT I HAVE WRITTEN POSTS ABOUT HER #SHE ALSO MAKES ME INSANE #k tanaka as well #erika simply has a gift #also they're SO. FUCKING. HOT!!!!!!!!!!! #but mostly all the other stuff #the fact that my witch character is based on characters they have played is. perhaps not surprising #but i should talk about it more #bc it is so true and very obvious to people who have listened to wbn and watched the seven #they're amazing and that's the point of this post #erika ishii #worlds beyond number #wbn pod #wbn spoilers #wbn: www #the wizard the witch and the wild one #wwwo #wwwo spoilers #ame wbn #ame the witch #dimension 20 #d20 #d20 the seven #danielle barkstock

[ninjasmudge]

a downgrade really

#cotl #cult of the lamb #cotl narinder #narinder #cotl lamb #my art #its something abt black cat coded characters that take themselves too seriously that makes me want to make fun of them #i want to play through this game myself instead of watching play throughs but i dont have a controller #and im not joking im too bad of a gamer to play on keyboard ill never finish the fights #i wont get past leshy i know this

Sometimes I think about how Adrien, throughout the series, constantly grapples with his fear of abandonment. Gabriel conditioned him to believe that any love he receives is purely transactional, and that to earn affection he has to prove his utility. Adrien is constantly trying to prove his worth to his father for scraps of affection, and Chat Noir infamously crumbles on-screen any time he feels as though he is replaceable to Ladybug. It's a constant insecurity of his, like everyone will just dump him like a sack of potatoes the moment they find out how useless he is.

Meanwhile, all Marinette wants to is ensure that Adrien is happy. Because she loves him. She doesn't give two shits about how """useful""" he is. She holds him and tells him that she will never abandon him (both as Ladynoir and as Adrienette), and her fantasies are about saving him, not about him being "useful" to her. Throughout their relationship, Adrien is forced to disappoint Marinette constantly for reasons outside of his control (amok commands), and yet Marinette is still there for him.

At Adrien's lowest point, when he is forcibly torn away from everyone who had ever showed him genuine care, locked away in an all-white room and at his most "useless", right after disappointing Marinette and unable to even join the final battle or contribute in any way, she still saves him. She still loves him. Because he doesn't have to prove anything to her. Because he is loved and cherished for who he is, not for what he does, and that love is not conditional. Adrien's "happy ending" at the end of the first arc wasn't about him finally proving how useful he can be, because he never actually cared about being useful — he just saw it as the only means to feel loved and needed. Instead, in the end, he found out that he was loved and needed no matter what.

#ml s5 spoilers #ml s5 finale spoilers #idk im musing dont mind me #(as always this post isnt an invitation to tell me why You dont like the show. if that's the case then you can make your own post) #i think the ''what does this say about adrien's agency'' reading of the show is fair and an interesting perspective #but personally i find the ''what does this say about adrien's inherent worth as a person / how does this play into his fear of abandonment' #to also be a super valid way to read the series that is just as relevant to his character arc and i don't see people talking about enough

[falled-over]

its true he just comes to you in your moment of need

#i was playing the game and then i had to make dinner #i remember seeing posts about this phenomenon before even playing the game... it inspired me i had to know him #it was so funny i was not trying to think of him at all and his voice actor just appeared in my head doing my secondary narration thing #you know what i mean. when youre doing something so you have a little conversation in your head. #its been like years since ive had a character narrate it for me. the speech pattern is even my best impression of him #dont play video game for hours #disco elysium #kim kitsuragi

[raptorrobot]

i feel like i'm fighting for my fucking life here

#ultrakill #hollow knight #risk of rain 2 #baldur's gate 3 #there are absolutely more out there these are just the primary ones from games *i* play #it's totally fine to hc other pronouns tho like it's very obvious when it's just queer ppl having fun #i'm talking abt the ppl who default to he/him pronouns when referring to nonhuman characters #it's always he/him too . like what's up with that #i am an any pronouns user but it/its are my favourites #and i dunno Feelsweird when it/its is pretty adamantly used for characters ingame and ppl just throw it aside #'oh but it/its pronouns are dehumanising' that's the POINT !!!!! grrr #i like it/its because it makes me feel LESS human . i connect with these characters because they are inhuman and monstrous fundamentally #. you know #this is all in good fun btw i'm not that serious about this #just felt like it needed to be pointed out

emotional support frog

who will absolutely eat your hand.

#THIS FROG is a main character now #i dont make the rules #actually i do and you have to follow them #and the new rule is zuko has a badger frog and he doesn’t know what to do with it #he does not WANT the frog #it just wont leave him alone #he did not expect one of his first questions upon joining the gaang to be 'whats your pet policy' #also momo wants the frog now and it is unclear if his intentions are good #so zuko's playing it safe #abd unfortunately looking overprotective of his frog in the process #atla #zuko #also feel free to bug me for individual files #i can add em under the cut #when im not feeling lazy

Turtle Takedown Teamwork.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me. #The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.” #don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things. #We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play. #There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'. #The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice. #The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing) #A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard. #And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX - #LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together. #And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped) #But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone. #Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ. #It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing. #Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters

*Kris, er, does this sometimes.

#deltarune #another one of those pieces where I'm not quite at the point where im able to render it in a way im proud of #will just have to keep practicing! #kris dreemurr #utdr #tw self harm #this scene really stood out to me when I first played it #just the framing of the whole thing felt so #i'm not even sure. but i saw the way the narration pointed out “it's making a lot of noise” #and i knew that this scene. this scene was analogous for something. much heavier. #something heavy that only really applies when you hide in bathrooms and carries knives with you and have red stains on your carpet. #despite the fact that taking out your soul doesn't leave a stain. #it just. it does really strike a chord with me how kris' is written as a character #that if they're anything similar to chara's coping mechanisms :( #it's just sad #okay rambling over!

[egophiliac]

I love your take on Crowley!

I know that the early, non-Diasomnia stories aren't really your thing, but are you reading the novels at all?

I have been following some of the fan translations and the second book seems intense! Would love to hear what you think about them.

thank you! 💚💚💚 I'm not really sure why you think I don't like the earlier arcs though, I love pretty much all the characters and their storis! (I think 5 and 1 are my favorite of the past episodes, though 6 infected me with the Shroud brainrot something fierce.) I just...ESPECIALLY love diasomnia. :') but there is room in my heart for all of these dweebs! like, who among us is not just as ride-or-die for Adeuce as they are for us.

that said, I don't really follow the other adaptations like the manga (aside from a dip-in just to see the new Yuus) or the novels, though I keep meaning to check them out! I do like seeing the differences between the different forms of media, and how certain things get adapted one way or another! but alas, time/a lack of accessibility stands in our way more often than not. :( someday...someday I will have time to consume all of the media...

#art #twisted wonderland #i have been playing this game since the day it came out #and believe me i could not have stuck with it for the past three and a half years if i was not deep into all of these idiots #not to harp on it but i do think it's funny because i actually. really did not like the diasomnias at first. #it was like a month before their cards/personal stories were added and so we knew almost NOTHING about them #the website descriptions basically make everyone sound awful #so i thought they were kind of mean/boring compared to everyone else! #(except maybe lilia but i was mad at him for the two seconds of 'girl? 👀' hope i had when they were revealed) #but once their cards came out i fell just as hard for them as i did the rest of this silly game #well. sebek took a little longer. but his ketchup incident converted me. #anyway i have so much sentimentality for episode 1 especially #the prologue was like 'oh this is actually a very silly game! oh there is a plot!' #episode 1 was like 'oh i LIKE these characters and what they're doing with them' #(i think ace punching riddle was the moment i decided i REALLY liked this game) (sorry riddle) (you were being a huge dick though) #also...ink drips. ink drips everywhere. #look when i say this game is laser-focused at me and my tastes specifically i am not kidding
