#shouldn't surprise me

[lunarin64art]

That feeling when he can't stand to see you that way, no matter what you do, no matter what you say😩😭💔

#scott pilgrims precious little life #scott pilgrim vs the world #spvtw #spto #scott pilgrim #wallace wells #lisa miller #scollace #kim pine #natalie adams #envy adams #don't rlly know if I like how this turned out but oh well;;; #hope its obvious that this is based on the song “Scott Pilgrim” which the creation the comics were inspired from #the lyrics always make me think of Wallace and Lisa's feelings for Scott every time I hear it #ofc you could also relate it to Kim especially since the singers voice kind of reminds me of her #but overall the lyrics fit these two much better since Scott never truly “saw them that way” despite how long they've liked him #and they always seem happier to see him compared to Kim #Im surprised tho that I havent yet seen anyone draw these two together now that their dialogue parallels have been acknowledged more lately #also tho I wish more people pointed out that they both got cucked by red heads LOL #and Kim and Envy actually do look really similar when scott first meets them #makes me wonder if Scott subconsciously went for Envy since she reminded him of Kim (which would be fitting given that you could argue that #Envy dated Scott because he reminded her of Todd. Since he and Scott are confirmed to be meant to be seen as similar to one another #so much so that even their first and last names rhyme #last thing I'll add tho is that while Wallace and Lisa are very similar even personality wise #the one big difference is that despite that whole conclusion on vol4 of Scott not cheating on Ramona with Lisa because he loves her #the writers apparently think it would be “organically correct” for him to have an affair with wallace LMAO #but I guess we shouldn't be surprised since Wallace and Ramona are both in the front of the official valentines art which is clearly #a deptiction of Scotts wet dream or smth (oh and you could also argue that Wallace and Lisa parallel on that art since they're both #shirtless with white socks.. which could be a reference to how lisa wears skimpy clothes for Scott and Wallace often only wears boxers #to like sexually frustrate Scott for fun or smth

Defensive Flourish

I'm almost caught up! And this moment was stuck in my head after finishing the episode.

#dnd #naddpod #ba2mia #not another dnd podcast #naddpod c3 #calliope petrichor #my art #I shouldn't be surprised that an Emily PC has made me obsessed with them #This is Ylfa and the wolf all over again #Now I have to learn to draw snakes..

if y'all ever want a bit of modern harlivy angst that ends happy and doesn't feel laced with ooc toxicity in the like "oh the writer's apparent reference for ivy's characteristics in their relationship is plant ivy and that's it wow..." I'd recommend their little story from DC's Harley Quinn Romances cause <33333 it's very special to me

they make me unreasonably emotional

Ivy after reading Harley's au fic where she gets to punch Joker with her at prom:

#girlies really went and started making out in a rare flower very iconic #and the comment about ofc a plant would come before me 😭😭😭😭 because everything has always come before her in past relationships #so she shouldn't be surprised #but like it was only So important to get there on time so Harley could have the full experience of HER present #and like the way Ivy wasn't expecting her here #so she was fully ready to flat out take the whole ass plant back to her just so she could see it bloom #harley quinn #harleen quinzel #poison ivy #pamela isley #dc comics #harlivy #also there are full pages of the fic thats why it seems abrupt in the parts posted where Harley's asking if she's listening #there's time between them skdjsks #tw clown boy #even tho he is just being humiliated <3 skdjskks

I thought your username was pronounced

“Abbey-foc-un” = “abbey fuckin”

I thought your name was abbey fuckin

#ask abbey #why #although I've seen worse tumblr names #shouldn't surprise me it gets misread

Forgot to share here.... old doodles of when I finally came around to finding a design I like for Qalaari's mom !!

#it's so fucking funny to me that i inadvertently gave her a variant of the “mom about to die” haircut because... well... #surprise... she did die when Qalaa was young (12) :'^) #Qalaa (now between 20 and 22) still hasn't gotten over it #her mom had really weak health and really shouldn't have had a child but she made her choice #it turned out to be not the best one for her health LMAO #who wouldve thunk #but hey she wanted it and i'm pretty sure she doesn't regret it #but well... Qalaa does feel like she was a participant in her mom's death #(the other participant being her biological father who ran away before she was born and shattered aamira's heart) #ANYWAYS #i love qalaa's messed up familly #it's like a regular messed up story where actually no one (and everyone) is to blame (except Qalaa lmao she asked for NOTHING) #Aaamira gave so so much love to her child ;;;;;; this built the unbreakable core of Qalaa's kindness #aamira #aamira croquelune #aamira molandine #croquelune #still thinking about making that potentiel small DnD 'lore addon' of Qalaa's village that you can take and plug in your very own campaign #as long as you have 'far from civilization' woods or mountains you can put them in there #a village that welcomes the 'monsters' and the cast out #(like aamira) #look at me rambling in the tags lmao i just love qalaari (& her background) so much #last thing tho : you have to understand that Aamira is small and very slight and Qalaari was a HUGE baby and is a really big girl overall

This drawing was supposed to be posted on rswr week but I realized its still on july

So I probably will draw another piece for it

anyway here is our lovely boy noise<3

(you can compare the one i drew on paper and see how much changes I made lol)

#roleslaying with roman #noise rswr #thomas sanders #rswr noise #rswr #fanart #you shouldn't be surprised when I tell you it took me 9 hours to draw this lol

[shuploc]

How’s your drawing with hobie going?

Honestly, not very good LMAO, I'll more than likely have to completely redo it, ngl.

Whenever I have time to spare between work, I'll pick out the very best idea I have in mind for a drawing in that moment and draw that, and I literally have so many more ideas for Miguel drawings compared to Hobie, unfortunately, so idk. I literally just wanna draw Miguel so bad lmao. Maybe I'll figure out a cool concept for a drawing in the meantime, but I'm really sorry I teased ya'll with Hobie stuff and then never delivered... hopefully soon 🤞😔

#the best miggy idea I have currently is drawing a “fake” polaroid photo of him lmao #kinda like a couple of the ones I've done of other characters already #something like the little photo you see on ID cards #anyways' enough with the teasing!! I honestly shouldn't ever say what ideas I have for things in case I don't do em #I'm been so good about that for years' but I guess ya'll are catching me slippin... #please just act super surprised next week!! you guys didn't hear anything!! 🙉

Hey, I appreciate messages like "You can't say or reblog this or that" because sometimes something can slip past by me. However, I would like to underline that this is my blog and I'm speaking about my life, my experiences, my life journey, from my own perspective.

Let's repeat; MY experiences. MY life. MY life experiences. NIU.

Someone's journey is different than mine but it doesn't make my journey or my experiences (about my own self, especially) any less meaningful to me or wrong.

Your intentions are surely good, I'm certain of it, but it honestly diminishes and erases my own personal experiences if you go "but but this person, this group, these people, what about me and them and they over there? You aren't thinking about them!"

No. I am not. Not when I'm talking about my own life experiences and how life has been to me. How it has treated me, what I have faced, what kind of personality I have got since I was little etc. I'm not an influencer or a moral police or a shrink or someone else running this blog for others' sake, to raise awareness of this and that. I'm just a random, never-heard woman from North Europe eating ice-cream, collecting stickers and living my life with whatever cards the Life dealt to me - and I'm not talking in this blog about other people's cards the life dealt to them. This is a diary-fandom blog for God's sake!

If my experience, for example, is that I survived an ordeal X fine, people coming to complain that I can't say that because others didn't survive the same ordeal is putting the blame and burden of unknown people's lives on me. I'm not God nor a shrink. I'll do my best to help others in my every day life but expecting me to be a Saint 24/7 for all possible people, causes, experiences etc. out there globally is absolutely insane - especially when I'm speaking about my own personal experiences. Like they don't matter.

It's like when I drew a comic about suicide and people came to me like "You can't draw that :( What about those who think about killing themselves and struggle with that topic?"

I'm terribly sorry for all who struggle and deal with horrible stuff, but my blog or my comic isn't the right place for such people to seek out for help or refugee for such matters. You need to see someone who CAN help. Not a random Tumblr person. Seriously! If something I write about in my own blog about MY OWN LIFE AND MY OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES upsets you then it's something you need to shelter yourself from with.

Please, you're always welcomed to block and unfollow. Anyone. Anytime. Anywhere. That's OK and healthy!

Now that I'm back in the online discourse of the Red Dead community after half a decade away waiting to have the ability to play and beat the second game, I'm really fairly quickly learning that there's this... weird, romanticized version of Arthur Morgan's character out there that really has no basis in reality.

Today I accidentally stumbled upon an anti-John Marston post and I'm not going to get into that here (even though I have A LOT to say), but the top comment was very strange to me. It talked about how Arthur is this 'giant', this 'greek hero', a perfect person, and as I read it I just... wasn't sure if I played the same game as them.

There's obviously a way of playing the game where he's this high honor hero, and I largely played that. But Arthur is also a deeply violent man, a deeply cynical and sometimes cruel guy. He's not a gentle humored guy, he's deeply sarcastic and at times kind of nasty with his humor, even to people he likes. He really often struggles with his worse nature, and it's not a struggle without reason. His first response to a situation is really often the most extreme, and the only reason I feel like people don't realize that outside of having a hand at deciding his honor is because he's the most outspoken about unnecessary vengeance... but that's not because he's opposed to it on principle, it's because it's important for him to protect his people, and that requires letting things go.

This isn't me bashing Arthur, by the way. The beauty of his character is how he struggles against himself, his own nature. How everyone can see his kindness even when he can't himself, even when his actions say otherwise. He's conflicted between what he wants his life to be and the life he has lead, the most important man in his life, one that's practically a father to him, instilled in him rules for life and he's watching him break every single one. For the first time in his life he has to figure out who he is and how he wants what little time he has to be defined. THAT'S a fantastic character, a hero even... but far, far, FAR from perfect. He's a deeply flawed human being who has done terrible things, and it makes me wonder the level of media literacy it takes to not understand that.

#Arthur Morgan #if he's a greek anything it's a greek tragedy #and that doesn't make him a pillar of heroism #Also like outside of the obvious ignoring of traits #(i should mention that this doesn't entirely surprise me from the rockstar audience btw #It bugs me because it's such a reductionist idea of how great his character actually is #To romanticize him as this perfect being is to devalue the wonderfully conflicted character they wrote #for multiple reasons #they have a weird habit of deifying male characters like this #and they also didn't realize nico bellic was a good character #and the ones that did didn't realize what his actual character was #or why things go the way they do in that game #rockstar has such a testosterone filled fandom that their literacy of morality and toxic masculinity should be questioned #this shouldn't have been a surprise to me)

[does-this-look-inanimate-to-you]

me as a kid: this ship is canon so it has to be the right thing to ship. HEY STOP SHIPPING JAYFEATHER AND BRIARLIGHT JAYFEATHER LOVES HALF MOON!!!!11!!1!!!! me now: canon is but a suggestion i choose to ignore. anyway here's an oc i made specifically to kiss a canon character.

#is anyone surprised that i was a warrior cats kid #you shouldn't be #yeah for whatever reason as a kid i was a canon purist #if a ship wasn't canon or heavily implied i refused to ship it #also fuck warrior cats for intentionally making me ship squirrelflight and brambleclaw despite it being a very abusive relationship #keep that discourse off this post tho #warriors #warrior cats #fandom #fandom culture #koda life update #oc x canon #maybe i'll share my oc one day i lobe him so mobe

[ineed-to-sleep]

Well. He wasted no time

#IT'S JUST REALLY FUNNY TO ME. OKAY #in my first playthrough he took his fuckign time #bc ok. I was playing as the same character. but also it was the 1rst playthrough #so I ended up juggling between playing the character and doing whatever I wanted to do bc. well I wanted to be niceys #but now that I'm roleplaying her consistently he's going bananas dlkfhdlf #like 4 long rests in #I haven't even made it to the goblin camp yet #and hes like oohh I know you've felt it I felt it too 💅🏻 #and like in my first playthrough I had the impression they had this like slow burn sort of romance #like butting heads a lot at the start but then slowly growing on each other #but it's not like that at all now. they actually like. get along like a house on fire #this woman used to date nwn2 bishop back in the day tho this shouldn't have come as a surprise #I've changed her quite a bit since that game yk. but still. the parts of her that attract toxic men remain <3 #oc.nawen #bg3 #sleep.txt #you should've seen it I started a durge playthrough with pepper on impulse just for funsies #he fucking hated her #just like. not on board. calling her hard headed and boring #it was brutal #PEPPER IS LOVELY OK you don't deserve her #I wasn't happy w how she ended up looking tho 😔 gotta get some better face/hair mods and try again sometime #ship: narion

After being a Zelda fan for so long I don't know why this only just now occurred to me, but the parallelism between Navi leaving Link without explanation at the end of OoT and Midna leaving Link without explanation at the end of TP. Yeah you get it.

#it does make me wonder if TP Link spiraled in a similar manner to OoT Link. I certainly hope not #it really shouldn't surprise me given how closely those games are related but #legend of zelda #zelda #ocarina of time #twilight princess #loz midna #loz navi

YOUN YUH-JUNG on how she came to buy her own dress for the oscars

Okay so there's this stereotype that autistic people tend to have a fixation on one or more vehicles and I didn't think I fit that until I realised I really like learning about oceanliners/ships, so just for funsies!

Also this poll isn't that deep, just for shits n gigs lol I'm just curious if other people unknowingly fit this stereotype hehe

#poll #me liking ships shouldn't be surprising since two of my fixations are pirates and the titanic #but it surprised me because I'm terrified of the ocean/water
