#relatable king as usual

[falmerbrook]

Been feeling down and having artblock so I wanted to draw something colorful and silly to try to get out of it

So have some My Little Morrowind: Friendship Betrayal is Magic

(and Sheo-Discord for funsies)

#morrowind #tes #my art #ponified #ponification #do i dare tag anything else tes related??? #sheogorath #i havent drawn ponies in a while so im kinda rusty #im bad with cutie marks so apologies #also i usually stray away from making skin color the coat color but the skin color is a pretty important part of these guy's recognizabilit #mine #i just think mw is ripe for crossovers with series where normal folks can become gods/dieties #so like celestia and luna are basically god-princesses in the same way the tribunal are god-kings (minus the dishonest way of achieving it) #and now that im thinking about it i shouldve made dagoth ur more like sombra #instead i made him more nightmare moon/changeling-y

Toby Fox exclusively writes 3 types of love stories

An awkward sweetheart (with a dark side) crushing on a strong, hunky lady (see Undyne and Alphys, Susie and Noelle)

Divorced (see Toriel and Asgore, Spamton and Jevil, King and Queen [even if they're not actually divorced, you know they're divorced])

Queerplatonic-coded, but no one seemed to get the memo (see Sans and Toriel, Asgore and Rudy)

#please note that the ships mentioned above are my personal ships and if you don't agree go to hell I MEAN thats fine I respect your opinion #(seriously though it's not a big deal shipping is just for fun!) #i usually don't post things too ship related but I felt like this needed to be said #queerplatonic soriel #queerplatonic Asgorudy #soriel #shipping #undertale ships #those two words almost destroyed the fandom #toriel x asgore #toriel x sans #asgore x rudy #alphyne #undyne x alphys #suselle #susie x noelle #spamton x jevil #king x queen #oh they're divorced #super divorced

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]

Shading study that quite literally came to me in a dream two weeks ago, after this post apparently beamed itself into my mind

(also a few edits below the cut! they're very slight but whatever :])

[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]

#the tags got NERFED so let's try this again. #peridots-art #minos prime ultrakill #ultrakill #ask to tag #organs #...? gore maybe? for the whole ''transparent chest/visible cardiovascular system'' thing. not very detailed/realistic though so #i don't think this has all of the same charm as i usually find in my posts. but i tried my best to make it work so i don't think it matters #also ''not too happy with how this turned out'' is something i've seen tacked onto posts worthy of being preserved in museums #i heard someone say his snakes should be ball pythons. i'm not autistic about snakes so i decided to listen to the masters #i still have seven levels to p-rank before i can meet this guy!! halfway there (lust/greed and 1-3 remaining) i've only had my own copy #of ultrakill for a week and i already have 33 hours in. anyway he's grown on me i think. absolute bi king and only monarch i respect <3 #i think it's interesting how i now define my queerness by being gray-ace and trans when i first only identified with bisexual. it's still #an important part of me even if sometimes i forget. sorry that sounds completely unrelated but it's related to my feelings on this piece #anyway (i wonder how many ''anyway''s i've slapped on so far) i also find it interesting how often people draw him with this body type. #i think it's cool there's variety in how people draw the uk characters. it just kinda feels right here? i know i unfortunately don't draw #fat characters often at all (partially due to being a primarily fandom blog who likes to stick to canon designs. i wouldn't say i have #trouble with drawing a realistic amount of fat even on rather thin people though lol) but i try! also genuinely unsure what counts as like. #fat vs chubby? or whatever? i don't know exactly how the terminology works and a fair amount of minos' bulk is muscle anyway but. yeah 👍 #men are pretty in dresses my final message. goodbye

do you have any thoughts on the story of abraham and isaac? my parents talk about it and praise abraham for being willing to kill his son which..... scares me to say the least, and i'd love to hear your perspective as someone who seems more well-adjusted

Where I am now, it disgusts me more than anything. The interpretation of "I'm willing to sacrifice your life if I was told to" feels like the step before "I put you into this world and I can take you out of it." It's entitlement to a child, who is an independent individual, just because they are dependent on you for survival. I prefer the interpretation of understanding the actions you're taking and the reasons why (like how there's multiple religions that don't eat pork because it was so unsafe to eat at the time), especially if it's at someone else's expense.

Where I was in the thick of it all, it gave me morbid comfort that scares me now. I had fantasies of being a martyr for the church and the idea of being the next Isaac was just so appealing. Being a hand-selected sacrifice chosen by the Good Lord Himself? Sign me the fuck up, babey!

I think if I admitted that to my family, they'd be horrified.

It's another one of those stories or beliefs where I think the majority of christians just regurgitate what they've heard. It's a point of pride and devotion, but there's no personal reflection or cross-cultural awareness of it. Lean not unto your own understanding and whatnot. It's the potential that scares me the most, like the Quiverfull movement with the Duggars or Turpins. I'm sure there's stories now, but I can't remember them off the top of my head

(Also I will be telling my therapist someone on Tumblr called me "more well-adjusted" thank you anon)

#My therapist has called me 'surprisingly well-adjusted' before #He has since retracted that title and given it back multiple times #I don't know if you relate more to the 'Scared of my parents for praising that' or the 'Scared that I was okay with that' part #maybe both #either way the cycle ends here with you #No more bible quips and quotes that harm you and others. You find your own understanding and eventually it feels nice #It doesn't at first I will admit that. At first it feels like you're gonna go to Hell Right Here Right Now #But eventually you learn to trust yourself. It's a slow process. I've been in therapy for a good 6-7 years now #But one day you wake up and notice life feels more authentic. You feel like your values matter (and they actually do!) #And again it's slow. It's in bits and piece and back and forth. My worst habit is switching something from religious to moral #I highly recommend this type of therapy called ACT it's a CBT subtype #I'm usually not a fan of cbt so u know it helps if I recommend a subtype of it #CBT shit is so cheap I got a workbook from the library #this isnt relevant to the post but #my cat is trying to steal my burger king rn #it gets better (I have a cat) but progress isn't linear (eating burger king) #ex christian #religious trauma #anon tag

“You can be just friends with people, you know,” Orla said. “I think it’s crazy how you’re in love with all those raven boys.” Orla wasn’t wrong, of course. But what she didn’t realize about Blue and her boys was that they were all in love with one another. She was no less obsessed with them than they were with her, or one another, analyzing every conversation and gesture, drawing out every joke into a longer and longer running gag, spending each moment either with one another or thinking about when next they would be with one another. Blue was perfectly aware that it was possible to have a friendship that wasn’t all-encompassing, that wasn’t blinding, deafening, maddening, quickening. It was just that now that she’d had this kind, she didn’t want the other.

Have you ever considered Lucifer's disobedience to be an act of love, of obedience to God? I was just thinking about it and I think I saw something about it somewhere but what if his rebellion was him acting out God's wishes for him to be the adversary to man? To be the bad guy because that's what God told him he was. His act of devotion was his lack of devotion to the part assigned to him against his will.

I think the idea is interesting and yet sad.

I have an absurd amount of thoughts on the relationship between Satan and God even outside the Angels Before Man context aha. It was definitely a huge motivator for writing the book (and the more Lucifer and angel related content I have planned). This probably won't contain spoilers for my future stuff but anyway here's a little ramble (I'm sleep-deprived so I apologize if I'm more incoherent than usual):

I think this all falls back to Does God actually hate Satan/Lucifer? The Bible seems really clear about it: Satan is evil, he's the enemy of all the righteous, full of deceit and wickedness (Acts 13:10) and yadda yadda. But – there's a couple major issues:

1. Satan is the ruler of the earth (John 12:31). This is.... kind of a weird thing for God to allow, especially when the being-omniscient is taken into account. God created a beautiful planet, knowing it would become Satan's. It's also not clear when Satan took control: there was a world outside of the Garden of Eden in Genesis even before original sin, so did Satan already run Earth before that? It seems to be the case, since God cast Adam and Eve out of the garden as a punishment. When God is supposedly furious at Satan for pretending to be a god, why did he hand Satan the world? (He's angry at him, it says, but he's given Lucifer exactly what he wanted.) (You could argue that Satan wanted the heavens and not the earth, and that the earth actually sucks, but the earth is explicitly a sacred thing; it's literally half of God's entire creation, as the very first line of Genesis says: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth")

2. God's all-knowing goodness. This is just a general theological puzzle that even the very devout struggle with. If everything God created is good, then why does evil exist? The answer "well, Satan created evil" isn't good because it implies Satan can create from nothing (that is, create something without helpful from God), which would elevate Satan to god-ness, and that creates larger issues about the goodness of God. (Does this mean Lucifer was right that angels are, or at least he is, capable of god-ness and thus being worshiped?) So, let's say Lucifer corrupted goodness instead, rather than "created" evil (let's pretend corruption wouldn't be an act of creation) — that just leaves us with another question. Why would God create Lucifer knowing this? Unless God wanted this. (God seems to like this idea of free will, and free will can only exist if there's such thing as a "other side" to the moral compass. (I won't go into free will more because that's another rabbit hole.)

3. The loving God. God is supposed to love everybody. Jesus teaches you to love your enemies. So does God love Lucifer? In ABM, I made the case that he ultimately does, in his own bizarre way. (Insert here a ramble about what love even means.) But this is another big debate in theology with no answer. If God loves Lucifer, or ever loved him, why would he let Lucifer create evil and damnation and, eventually, his own destruction? If God hates Lucifer, then why does he let him run around? If God hates Satan, why did he hand him the world?

A lot of people will mention that the Book of Job begins with Satan visiting Heaven, which shouldn't make sense since God kicked him out. But Satan is there, and they chat. It's almost funny – sworn enemies that are just bickering, as if they're friends. It makes you wonder why God won't just destroy him right there, why he's dragging it out and letting so many people get caught in the crossfire.

It's all pretty weird and conflicting, but something I think about all the time. At the very least, God definitely feels a certain way about Satan/Lucifer that is incredibly special. (And that in itself is kind of romantic to me).

#again im sorry if im making less sense than usual #im so sweepy #but thank u for the ask #i do have a lot of thoughts on this #I think if I were God I wouldn't be able to help being... fond of Satan #he's different and he's full of himself #one time i made the joke that the Bible is just a king (God) in love with his jester (Satan) #anyway yeah #mine #ask #wont tag this as abm becaus its not really related??

GA: aww so cute, Mike loves El, so romantic 🥰

Mike: *looking directly at Will* 👀

And Mike, 15 seconds earlier: 💩⁉️

Yep, peak romance right here. I love romantic confessions being directly preceded by talking about taking massive shits. Can't believe more movies and shows don't use that trope. 😂

Duffers literally said "what you're about to hear? Massive (bull)shit."

#byler #mike wheeler #king of romantic declarations that usually relate to will and only sometimes relate to taking massive shits

Meme that probably only makes sense in my personal version of the kirbyverse

#my ramblings #kirby series #queen ripple #king dedede #anyways for a brief explanation. people usually die when they are possessed and it’s incredibly rare for them to survive #and if they do. they come back different. it’s even rarer for someone to survive a possession more than once #and if you know the entirety of my ripple’s lore. uh. yeah. #there’s been at LEAST two separate incidents not relating to zero two. <3 #my dedede also has Issues but that’s to be expected he’s canonically been possessed more than once on screen #but ripple is almost entirely headcanon stuff

Hi I'm Lauren I'm new to this app, I'm just trying to make some friends. Can i be your friend?

Oh—sure! Cursory glance at your blog shows that we have a few interests in common. Who’re your top 3 Owl House characters?

#talking #I’m gonna be a bit basic and say that it’s the family trio Luz. Eda. King. in that order I love them so much #luz is everything to me. she’s the most I’ve resonated with a cartoon protag & she brings out the best in people but also takes no prisoners #like YEAAAH make that pigeon griffin! #eda would also be so funny to be friends/mentees with #like she’s literally collecting and selling human junk to people at the start of the series #but she’s great to the people she cares about she’s been through so much #also im very happy that in the end her family got bigger #reconciled with her sister and her partner. got a cool battle harpy form. pirate hook hand. love!!! #king is a critical hit for all the character tropes I don’t relate to but LOOOVR #look at his design! #he names that robot JeanFrancoius or something after thinking it was gonna kill him 5 mins ago #he’s also so important the last two ladies so the affection rubs off onto him too #he roleplays Owl House with the collector for months to stave off the end of the world #his dad is the corpse everyone’s been living on and he’s responsible for the new age glyphs for his sister to study LIKE ARE YOU HEARING ME #HE’S SO CUTE AND COOL DOIBLE THREAT #bllaaaaaarrrghhhhh ok that’s enough talking I just got like 10 hrs of sleep yesterday feeling good #i usually have a delay between seeing messages and replying to them so if it takes me like a week to respond it’s not because I I’m annoyed #though at the same time I don’t mind if friends reply to me like months later since I’m never urgent about anything I text #how do I tag you #Lauren!

"The impulse toward chaos was one he knew. It ran hand in hand with the desire for violence to be done to him. To destroy him because he was not worth saving."

#The Vanished Queen #Lisbeth Campbell #📚 #oh ouch LMAO #despite my longstanding love of fantasy royal settings i have always had. issues. w the royal characters depicted LMAO. #maybe its bc of the lifelong irony that ive felt&joked about in relation to my own name??? it isnt my fault i was named after the wrong #character in aladin so now we all have to deal w my streetrat jokes&princess quips LMAO. #but anyway this is the first of these types of books that ive read in a sec that had such a relatable prince character LMAO. #i can appreciate the trend towards books centering royalty+political intrigue to end w a dissolution of that royalty. but also #it can get... tiring having the same basic premise be that the royalty in question is forced to reckon w how fucking awful their bloodline #specifically has made things for their own ppl-- usually finding this all out against their will&in between feeling massively sorry #for themselves while also defending their family&core beliefs before finally coming to terms w the fact that things need to change lmao. #i understand the message+whatever&respect the trope value. it just. is the most frustrating part of these sorts of stories for me lmao. #bc this book centers on a tyrant king there's no moment of needing to reckon w beliefs being disproven or reworked to accommodate how badly #things are. the understanding of the tyranny is already there so the growth from the princes themselves are more in finding the means to #unseat their father. the growth of the pov prince focuses A Lot on his rage issues-- as the story goes on it becomes more&more clear #that his disinterest in the throne isnt only out of loyalty to his brother its also bc of this soul deep self-hatred that manifests #more&more in moments of increasingly dangerous&arguably suicidal behaviour. #&someone hating themselves for their impotence+lack of power in a world where they should have all the power is a lot more understandable #to me personally than someone who is forced to realize what harm theyve been apart of causing&their main storyline is coming to terms #w the fact that ppl not being oppressed+viciously abused is more important than a crown LMAO. #anger of various kinds was actually a HUGE theme in this book. it might be why i liked it so much lmao. my ever present anger issues #have been ripping me apart like rabid dogs as of late lmao. it makes me want to claw my skin off. sometimes. lmao. #something something rage is such an amazing source of energy that burns out so fucking hard lmao. human nitrous boost or whatever. #my moms birthday was the other day. maybe im just finally going certifiable.

man i do not feel like doing my final project for my animal literature class and the reason why makes me feel like a bad person

#so i took this class thinking it was going to be a mix of like animal symbolism and animal rights #as well as how people end up doing animal xenofiction which do or dont play on animal tropes and where they come from #which is interesting to me #but there was only that last thing in like the first thing we read and in some lecture related homework #and pretty much everything else is about whether or not this portrayal of an animal is cruelty for not putting it on the same level #as a person #and ngl a lot of the stuff just sounds like a reach to me like one was like #''omg this man doesnt REALLY care. he FAILS at his analysis of his cat that saw him naked bc he thinks abt what the cat thinks abt clothes #but he doesnt consider how it would LOGICALLY feel he only cares abt HIMSELF'' #and professor also kinda lowkey implied the college students were being derogatory in what we named the campus cat #(literally like a goofy food name bc apparently we dont respect it?) #anyways usually our finals are like ''pick anything we've discussed and narrow down into a thesis'' #but she wants us to ONLY have our papers be about animal cruelty and if like idk the lion king is ethical or not #and i was like ''eh i can do pokemon maybe bc that has interesting things to say about animal and human relations sometimes'' #but her response was like ''ok but how SHOULD we treat animals in that context tho. are they saying animals have to fight? thats weirdddd'' #''are they like saying the creator wants animals to beat each other up are they saying animals inherently hate and fight each other and need #humans to survive? thats kinda weird????'' and im just like. ok the series literally does go into that and its a video game but ok #echoed voice #and i wanna do my final abt symbolism and such in shows that i like but she keeps nitpicking them #and its like she doesnt even want a NEGATIVE portrayal for us to explain why its bad at conveying its message #bc i was like ''hey livestock is used as a dehumanizing thing here and also says something abt how cruel meat factories can be how abt that' #and she was like ''um but if its used to be dehumanizing then theyre implying its bad to compare humans to animals and thats not fair to #to animals'' #like i SORTA see where shes coming from but it feels more exhausting than anything

/  DO correct me if im wrong, but butbu tbut― has Gil in any of his multiple appearances in fate have ever declared himself as a god? like, not in the sense of claiming his divinity, but instead, in the sense of claiming himself as a god in the literal sense? As far as I can recall, I don’t remember him having claimed himself as a god, and if that was to be the case, that would actually be a very interesting thing-

#;ooc #ooc #this wouldn't just be his usual 'i am not going to perceive the gods' & embracing his unique existence but also #i hope this makes sense :thonks: #something related to a political matter as well #g.il and his people (once he returns to u.ruk and performs his role as king) acknowledging his ruling #u see; it wasnt after around 200 years after king naram sin that other rulers self-deified themselves #this self proclaimed deification being a way to consolidate their -oftentimes- unstable ruling to their people #aka; 'I am a god so my power holds weight' #so like;; sort of like an excuse to politically hold themselves stable to put it in very awful condensed manner #bc if kings 'misbehaved' their roles as kings could be taken away #but how would this apply if the king in question was a god? its like a safe barrier in a way #ur honor; my point with all of this is that g.il would not have needed to claim himself as a god to his people #bc not only did his people see him as a ruler after he came back wiser from his journey #but he also saw no necesity to 'shield' himself back under the gods; he is aware of his capacity to rule independently #in conclusion; he would be able to handle himself politically by his actions rather than by putting x and x fronts #anyways if he has; i am not perceiving it because i find this relation more interesting #at least c.aster g.il of course

“You know, I should probably think about organizing the treasure room and cleaning it up.”

It had been a long time since he had set foot in there, only going in for the promised photo album — which was more like a picture book in some sense. While his expression seemed the norm to see, there was something that flashed in his eyes for a moment. A swirl of emotions playing for a split second before they were shoved back down into the depths.

“...nah, I think it’s good.”

An older oc of mine that I realized recently that I've never made full-on art for before. Welp, better late than never right? (Although I doubt Cropenstēn himself would be all too pleased with me.) Becides, I want to draw in MS Paint more.

Cropenstēn is the god of the earth, life, nature, and the harvest. Partner of Ambros, god of love, childbirth, and the afterlife, Cropenstēn is the crowned king of the pantheon and is, due to the nature of his divine domains, is by far the god most worshipped.

Although seemingly caring greatly for the humans under his watch and domain, Cropenstēn does not extend that same care or respect to his fellow gods, lording his power over them with great relish.

Though none of the other gods can prove it, it is believed by most of them that Cropenstēn was behind the death of the previous monarch Soluma, the two-faced god of the sun and moon.
