#seeing things in a better light

[magicaltimelady44]

so like. if anyone else, like me, still has the occasional fanfic they follow on fanfiction.net, and hasn't been getting the update emails for the longest time and was wondering if ti meant the site is on its last legs

no

no they've done something stupid as fuck

you have to opt back in to getting the emails/notifications of new chapters every six months, because they automatically assume you don't want to know when the fics you followed for the updates have updated

#for fucks saaaaaaake #now i have to go back thorugh all the fics i follow to see if they've updated in the last like year #ffn why are you doing this #this is the shit that drives ppl to ao3 #and for the record i don't like ao3 purely because somehow ffn still has the better accessible reading options on its base site #without requiring you to log in and find [or code your own] site skin. it's just on the base site. #dark/light mode and increasing text size on a fanfic archive should not be a logged-in members-only coding-required thing

orpheus and thanatos 💚

#persona 3 #ryomina #ryoji mochizuki #minato arisato #makoto yuki #lizzy does art #HIII EVERYONE :3 happy halloween.... (has been working on this for four weeks off and on) #i've always yearned to see art of ryoji and minato based on thanatos and orpheus!!! #i know that ryoji can be likened to being the eurydice figure which i agree with but I HAVE BEEN THINKING SO HARD ABT THEM LIKE THIS OK. #it was nice to give drawing something more ambitious (for my standards) an earnest try again! i love working with lineless and lighting #and working on this has inspired me to HOPEFULLY start doing some studies of sorts! i want to learn so many things... #all so that i can make ryomina as epic as possible... #also LET ME TELL YOU that thanatos coffins are making me realize i seriously need to do drawabox or something. #trying to put them in perspective is hard... but im pretty happy with what i made!!! #also can i just say i love how shapely orpheus is?? i love orpheus joints etc etc its so nice. very fresh #sighs longingly. i love them very much they make me want to do better at things. i hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead! 💙 #very excited to see what people do for ryomina week (<- they haven't made anything 4 it yet bc Busy... but i'll submit smthn late maybe)

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

#there is actually nothing morally wrong with running an account that just reuploads ppl's artwork or their jokes or their cosplays #if you just put a VISIBLE LINK in the description of your post with proper credit then it would be beneficial for everyone #because you can get your little clout or whatever it is you want by putting a bunch of same-category content on a page #but nobody's getting fucked over because if your post blows up then people just get FUNNELED to the source #because it's placed so plainly where everyone can see it #and yeah it's better to retweet or reblog but #on the rare occasion that I see my shit reuploaded on tumblr WHICH IS WEIRD BC I MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE but anyway #someone making their own post where they upload my stuff. and it's always the floral self portraits so let's say it's a post with all those #if I scroll to the bottom and it says like. Artwork by Serglesinner on Twitter <-- clickable link [Sergle's Prints] <-- clickable link #to my etsy #I'm like oh okay and all the anger leaves my body and I'm like ah I see. and I toss the rock aside #like oh okay so you actually care that a person made these pieces. Instead of posting the caption ''women <3'' or smth #like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back #or if you go to the effort of writing like a description with a BLURB? like it's a damn museum. like a light paragraph of info #about what the art is and who made it and their links #I am literally sucking you in a strange and peculiar manner. that is extremely helpful #and maybe other artists don't want this AT ALL and they'd rather people not reupload even if it is credited #but I feeeeeeeeel. like 99% of the time this would solve the issue #reposters could genuinely be helping ppl. sometimes the repost gets more traction than the real thing #as long as it credits the creator then that's an okay thing to happen! #that can land somebody a sale! a commission order! a new fan! A JOB #A JOB!!!!!!!!!! #sergle.txt #I didn't write this eloquently AT ALL what the fuck ever barkbarkbarkbark

seamless/logoless version of a season five poster for phone backdrops

#she ra #spop #sword of protection #words and things #i just made this for myself and figured i post it lol #it's just some light editing to fill out corners and cover up logos. I'm sure others could do it better but i didn't see anyone doing it so #i thought i might want a phone case like this but after doing this i don't think so. so it was worth doing lol #edit tag #backgrounds

[front-facing-pokemon]

#this one gave me a lot of grief. i fixed the lighting though so that should look a bit better #but if you look really close at their eyes‚ you'll see they're a little fucked up #which. yeah!!! yeah the eyes are the only reason i had to fuck with blender for all these things #alolan persian #if you don't question it it'll make it so much easier on both of us i promise #i swear it

the percy jackson tv show is actually great when there isn’t a little shit in your ear telling you it’s not “book accurate”

#it’s book accurate enough FOR ME #god can we just try to enjoy something for once #it’s an ADAPTATION. it is not gonna be copy and pasted from the books #but they have the tone and the humor and the CHARACTERS and the themes right #isn’t that what really matters? #and some of yall are acting like they changed the entire plot when really it’s just small changes that service the tv format #and deepen character relationships and interactions #seeing book fans say the movies are better is the most absurd thing i’ve heard in my life… like did we watch the same movies #every single thing the show does wrong is still light years better than every single thing the movies got right #can’t we just enjoy that please #can you tell i’m sick of the nitpicking😭 #anyways maybe try to have fun for once in ur life idk #also ur allowed to have constructive criticism that’s so valid. or criticism at all #ofc u should critique the media u enjoy #but saying it’s not a good adaptation is kinda crazy to me idk #when it’s so clear how much thought was put in by the creators and cast to get it right this time #pjo tv #pjo tv show #pjotv #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo spoilers #percy jackon and the olympians #ruch rambles #sorry to hide all that in the tags but it feels very angry and i don’t want to be mean😭 i have the crit tag filtered for a reason lol #i’m choosing joy #but i just wanted to put these thoughts out there

#p4 #p4g #persona 4 #persona 4 golden #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #ok i love seeing the IT gang up on him its my soft spot #but also this is the kind of scene i was talking about prev #about how dunking on your friends is itself intended to be a demonstration of your closeness #yosuke's trying to make teddie feel better about himself but then he ends off his remarks with a joke #as he tends to do to diffuse tension! by being light hearted and playful #im not sure if naoto was intentionally playing into the joke here considering how new into the team they were but rise definitely was #i think a lot of Yosuke's jokes tends to take on the tsukkomi-and-boke kind of routine. #although yosuke frequently plays the tsukkomi/straight man by calling out his friends' weird logic during comedic scenes #in this scene i think rise (and naoto)'s quick reaction is very similar a tsukkomi follow up #so its not just a matter of ribbing on yosuke but also them knowing his humour well enough to follow up #and that makes me so happy because the more tragic more isolatory thing. would be for him to he ignored entirely. #he's good with his queue

unpopular opinion: i don’t think the show misunderstood the point of the book at all, Actually. i think it captured the spirit quite well while still being palatable and coherent to an audience that isn’t familiar with the book.

#daisy jones and the six #idk… i reread the book a couple days ago bc i wanted to see whether the complaints held up #and they kind of didn’t lmao #djats #editing to add: the thing about the book is that they’re all lying #or misremembering bc it’s been 40 years or omitting details to cast themselves in a better light #the show can’t do that #the show has to pick one interpretation and stick with it #so as not to confuse people #but u still get hints that the narrators aren’t always truthful #like when daisy is asked about her arrest for breaking and entering and she’s like ‘idk ppl write untrue things about me all the time’ #djats spoilers

contrary to Lorelai’s loud verbalisation on the matter, she liked Dean because she never saw him and Rory on their own…she hated Jess because she only saw them under scrutiny.

#gilmore girls #lorelai gilmore #rory gilmore #anti dean forester #jess mariano #jess x rory #lorelai’s unreasonable hatred of jess #she saw dean change the water bottle and tease her daughter during movie nights and light hearted conversation at the diner #she didn’t see the way he yelled at rory or brought her to tears or intimidated her physically #she didn’t see how Rory’s disagreement or feelings were disregarded or diminished or how this perfect boyfriend wasn’t so perfect #she didn’t see how rory and Jess bantered or the smiles they shared or how they tried so hard to make it work #she was so vocal about her support for dean and disgust for jess that rory couldn’t even tell her the good things #like how jess was working so much because he needed the money to buy distillers tickets so they could see a band they both enjoy #or how he promised to be better on the next FND visit #or how it was Jess who created the care package #or how he was always supportive of her aspirations and a good listener to her worries

bets on how long it takes for me to uh. start over for the thirtieth time.

#it needs more light and i'll probably pull the chandelier and Make Something but #i wish the window would fuckin behave but it's better at least LOL #ffxiv housing #there's also a chair and a stove in the other corner but i'm not satisfied w that space at all yet so #might expand one side into a kind of open balcony situation but idk i haven't figured out how to do that yet #baby mode blogging #... plants might be evicted from the window 'cause u can't see the stupid arch things and i like those ):

I hope mikey knows how lucky he is to have a brother so willing to chase after the very lights that blind him just for the fleeting chance of catching mikeys shadow

#gerard loves his brother so much its a tangible thing #i see it in every line #and i feel it with every crowd that screams famous last words #ive said if before but i think the people you love are your beating heart walking beside you #and if thats the case #the sea of people singing a song gerard wrote full of love for his brother is the alter gerards heart rests on #he built it years ago but i think he just needed time to remember that the lights dont just blind #they illuminate #and what better thing to illuminate then them coming full circle? #idk I’m feeling sappy in this Chili’s tonight #my chemical romance #mcr #mikey way #gerard way #jude.txt

The only thing I’ve ever wanted is to have total power over a single life.

#bakuspecial #eye strain #cw: gun #ask to tag #hi this is about hedda gabler #a translated version of which I went see last night! #it is! really good! I was like Insane over the stage and light design #like. the stage is tilted toward the audience. so whatever's going on at the back you can see the whole way through #there's an actual shredder on stage. hedda throws flowers in there whenever she gets mad #at the beginning of the second act a single bulb hung from a string lowered from the light rig #and then at the end the whole rig lowered and hedda swung on a swing made of the single bulb's strings #it was Fucking Good #so good that I drew. these #fksjfhdskj this is like. idk this feels like exactly the thing I did years ago for like. spirou and stuff #I probably understand colors a bit better than I did then? but I feel like the ~~aesthetics~~~ is the same lmao #well. it deserves it. that was once again Fucking Good #commemoration! #man. the chair. throughout the whole play there's this empty chair the characters keep dressing up in all kindsa clothes #and the servant character sat right outside the tilted stage #and by the end she's in the empty chair. I have Emotions about theater #my two years of prop work experience is coming back to me fskjdfhkdsj #I did have that to thank for a Lot of how I do my comic stuff tbh so! I think this is good. this is probably good
