Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.

If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.

I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.

I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.

Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.

#p5 #akeshu #akechi goro #kurusu akira #wow- me?? posting a valentines comic... actually on?? valentines????? wack. absolutely wack #it's a short one! I purposefully tried to keep it short. it was a challenge and it still ended up being 3 pages. but i blame my canvas size #also in case u can't see what akira is holding out to akechi: theyre chocolate covered strawberries on sticks! #i saw them irl and was like oh god i want those. i am going to project that feeling on my favorite characters so help me god #and now! here we are! but my shitty-ass coloring & line quality make it hard to discern them so. sorry about that lmaooooo #ANYWAY i don't do enough post-maruki stuff so. i made this one a little bittersweet. :) #why did i put akechi's scarf in a bow? honestly i dont know! i think i saw some art a while ago that did that too and i thought it was cute #well. plus i guess there's the symbolism of 'akechi being alive and reciprocating your feelings (however involuntarily) IS a gift' part #hence that hes wrapped up in a bow. like a present. :) #also god. the first panel is supposed to be akechi's reflection in a vending machine window. I could NOT get it to look right #so for reference!!! just so you guys understand!!!!!! thats what that panel is supposed to be!!! he is NOT in fact a ghost. (sigh) #hope you enjoyed and had a lovely valentines!! for my part i have eaten nothing but sweets today and hoo boy will that have been a mistake #ALSO in terms of the audience-participation comic...hopefully coming soon. if i can ever gain the will to draw it. #but at least tumblr has polls now so i can do the audience-choose-y bit without needing to use a separate website! so thats good i guess #anyway anyway anway thanks for listening to me ramble if you made it this far! have a lovely rest of your day and hopefully see u again soon

guys i gotta be honest whenever people call the live action avatar “darker “more serious” and “less childish” then the original show i just think of this meme

#natla #netflix avatar the last Airbender #probably gonna be my most critical natla post lmao #before i continue i don’t hate the show i give it like a solid 6/10 #there’s actually a lot of stuff they changed/added that i like like IROH AND ZUKO OH BOY #especially iroh it’s so good #but is it controversial if i say i don’t think this show is all dark and super duper mature? #obviously on a surface level it is with the violence and such #certain parts got to me #but beyond that I don’t think it is? #the show is very tell don’t show and it kinda treats its audience like we need to be spoon fed? #idk…. imo maturity is a lot more then violence it’s how you treat your audience and how you approach certain subject matters #and I feel like in that department the show kinda flopped #plus with how they handle certain characters (katara…) #THATS ALL IDK MAN ITS JUST MY OPINION #natla spoilers

[klonoadoortophantomile]

okay fuck it actually heres a drawing from the other day

#probably all ill post maybe idk im not sure tbh……. #scribbles #klonoa #popka #uhh nothing much to say abt this tbh thats why im posting it XD so uh heres some rambling ig #i feel like ive been drawing a lot more oc stuff lately which is cool ig cuz i barely ever draw original stuff #but at the same time it Sucks cuz like. idk theyre some newer ocs i kinda feel weird abt sharing for some reason #like idk i feel like theyre lame 😔 plus im still figuring out a lot of stuff for them so idk maybe thats part of it #uhhh also uh i feel like ive been getting like? actually really fucking good st art ? and like i feel like this every #few months (which is a good thing it means im improving / enjoying how my art looks) but like.. idk it judt feels more legit this time like #idk idk it doesnt really make sense but im having fun with art and thats good #i drew like. seven full drawings yeaterday for artfight im still like . stunned by how i managed to pull that off without having #drawings i ended up hating . like even with some that were an absolute pain in the ass to draw they turned out so cooollllll #okay ill stop rambling now idk what im trying to say

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series

#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners #(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as #cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point) #grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are “its been amazing.” #to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed. #and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight #plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends #ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst #that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings #and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions #the characters take and so im happy to bring it up #unlike other parts such as “limlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has before” #which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out #thats for another post though #my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that #which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm) #but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling #anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there #grian #trafficblr #3rd life #3rd life smp #3lsmp

zeno's ultimate pokemiku tierlist ⁉️(it's all his opinion and he loves them all regardless⁉️)

#like arrfgggdiakaktmcksmsama this was literally all for me like they knew what they were doing #i love character design i love pokemon i love miku. and then you put ALL THREE TOGETHER.... #i will explain some of my choices here #poison miku is just too good but also i am a big sucker for freaky scientists with constant “worry” eyebrows #her design is just so out there and crazy (this is about the shoes. some understand the greatness of the shoes and some dont. and thats ok.) #every other miku in peak i think establishes their theme exeptionally well especially ghost bug and fighting #for ghost i already love spooky and gloomy looking characters and that miku delivers tenfold (of course shes designed by the GOAT take) #esp with the mix of ghostly and electronic/digital regarding the glitchy parts n the 01 hologram #she looks like shell invade my computer and give it a virus if i dont send the chainmail about her tragic file corruption to 10 friends #(in the best way possible) #for bug miku the big dress is a huge plus but also i just think shes adorable nuff said #for fighting - i love a delinquent character and she fits that really well. the half coat thing is a big highlight for me #also the leek theme is absolutely iconic #for the ones i didnt like as much - i honestly just think the koraidon one is a leeeeetle bit boring #dont get me wrong. it has really cool aspects like the hair and the koraidon like cape but idk #it feels like theres a lot going on but not that much at the same time? its still a really nice design tho esp the hair color #for the ones in yellow tier - i just dont like the color palletes very much . theyre still really nice designs esp fire miku #but all in all these are genuinely all amazing designs and i dont want to be too critical or mean to any of them esp seeing im not a pro #but this was really fun to see unfold!!! cant wait until the songs start dropping #in the topic of miku as well - hey muse dash where's my miku on the switch version.... #please dont make us wait too long 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

jing yuan and yanqing are giving zhongli and xiao if the latter’s canon relationship was Actually fanon’s made up father figure/adopted child dynamic

#idkkkkkkkkkkkkk who looks at zx and is like 'you know what. this is a healthy parent child relationship' #like girl by fitting them into father son boxes you are actively making their relationship imbalance Worse #if you do that and dont shy away from it i respect that but if you say dad/son makes their relationship more wholesome or whatever like WHY #now i wont deny shippers might do that too but i see the dad son version so much i think im just averse to it by default #also because i think father son makes people actively Try to make their relationship something that its not and it erases a bunch of subtlet #subtleties in it. it's the nuanced r/ship -> entirely unproblematic and flavorless r/ship that i hate #also the number of people who'll block if you ship zx. like damn thats crazy you guys really think theyre father son (fake)??? #at their peak they're like. 4000 year old guys who have too much history and repression and some weird entanglement of 'nah im bothering him #too much' and 'gotta protect him w my life' complexes. and then this devolves into theyre never gonna kiss until 3000 more years have passed #listen they just Contain Multitudes idc if you dont ship it just dont make it into dad and son and we will be so gucci #jing.yuan and yanqing are like different i think mostly bc yanqing is actually like a minor and jing yuan is also a normal ish person #plus the light cone and the abouts?? yeah this is an actual like adopted parent/child thing #also good or bad news i caved and am now playing hsr. the plan is to pull yanqing and then go on infinite hiatus in the game 👍 #JWKFLJWEK i dont think theres really any draws for me besides him. personally neutral on turn based combat and the open world isn't giving #the only saving grace i have rn is 1) ive gotten to the part where bron.seele is real and man theyre gay 2) trailblazer trio 3) tall female #mc 4) everyone has way better emoting abilities than genshin 5) su.shang's really cute <3 #the story doesnt really interest me though its like cool but not mindgrippingly interesting #tbf i think genshin is the same way storyline wise (at the beginning) but the difference is that turn based combat isnt really my thing LMAO #ramblings! #zhongxiao #if you want to filter it out ??

[ssaseaprince]

I have a tattoo of Mads as Hannibal, and we accidentally gave him eyebrows. I think it's hysterical idc

#I used a real pic and added a filter to it so its less realism and more animated-ish #and the filter just made the shadows of his face look like he has eyebrows #Don't ask me how I didn't notice because I stared at that pic for weeks AND looked at the stencil multiple times #My bad #It's alright though #Maybe one day I'll see if I can get it filled in enough to look like he doesn't #But I think thats the funniest mistake to make LMAO #I promise this wasn't just an impulse tattoo or anything and I usually am super picky about details I just temporarily lost my mind #its alright I love it #Its part of a sleeve ive for a bunch of other stuff #plus ive got Clarice and then im getting Will #and Anthony Hopkins hannibal too #hannibal #nbc hannibal #hannibal lecter #hannibal nbc #mads mikkelsen #(This was like a year ago)

so i read cyrano today. here's some parts i thought were funny in/out of context

cyrano's debut comes with bullying an actor he doesn't like offstage. two acts later he sends a band of musicians after him just to get them off his hands. he also tells them to tell this actor he sent them

and, of course, marmaladegate

#anyway i love cyrano lol #ive seen two different theater productions of it but this is the first time ive read it #anyway. ow. sad. but it's also very beautiful to me #cyrano #cyrano de bergerac #i didnt feel like taking pics of all the space travel methods but those were good. im fond of the magnet most of all i think #theres also bits like where he tells montfleury he's a full moon and after three claps he should eclipse himself #like if you're gonna be fatphobic at least be clever about it yk #plus i think it says more about cyrano's projection of his insecurities than anything else. kinda central idea to the play #i have no idea if these are funny out of context. it's a funny show though. i think seeing it really drives home the humor #kinda like seeing vs reading shakespeare. seeing the actors really breathes life into it #EDIT I FORGOT THE oh wait. an hour? psh PART THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. theyre so real for that tbh

THE BEST OF PRIORITY: TUCHANKA (PART 1)

Featuring: Cmdr. Sophie Shepard, Urdnot Wrex, and Urdnot Bakara With: Dr. Mordin Solus, Primarch Adrien Victus, Dalatrass Linron, Urdnot Wreav, and Comm. Specialist Samantha Traynor This will be the defining moment of Krogan history... Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition (2021)

#mira makes gifs ✨ #sophie shepard #urdnot wrex #mordin solus #mass effect #mass effect 3 #me3 #mass effect legendary edition #dailygaming #tuchanka is here baby!! she’s another two parter bc she was a chonky one for good cutscenes #i was gonna enjoy some ME3 last night bc i have to redo the coup for reasons™️ but scottina released reegar returns #AND THATS MY FAVORITE QUARIAN ON THE CITADEL (plus everything scott makes is stonks!!) #so we restored the ME3 install and divvied up the tuchanka footage into gifs instead while textures reinstalled lmao #but onto the gifset commentary as per my usual tag ranting: i adore tuchanka!! it’s one of my favorites for priority missions!! #wrex and bakara have some absolutely FLAME dialogue throughout the mission (especially bakara’s speech) #i usually pick a quote i like from the mission to subquote the post with and i wanted to use bakara’s but i decided it made a better gif! #also wrex head butting wreav is hot as fuck thanks for that one wrex you kinda ate on that #the first set is kinda boring compared to the second set but i love that the dalatrass comes in #and tries to make a shady little underhanded deal with shep!!! like that’s one of the more interesting ME3 plot points imo #i myself would never side with her bc i love wrex too much and disagree with genophage politics too much #but for her to come in with a shady little deal and be like ‘you should sabotage the cure and we’ll help you instead’? #i gotta respect her shady motives even if i hate her tbh lol #i will say i wish companions had a bit more dialogue in the cutscenes in the front end (and the back end too) #priority tuchanka feels a little? light? on the commentary from EDI and james #they both deserved so much more dialogue during the mission bc this is SUCH A BIG ONE??? this is such a huge deal??? #i wish they had more to say here!!! bc i feel like they would both have so many thoughts on everything going on!!! ESPECIALLY kalros?? #and wreav?? the city of the ancients?? like there's so many concepts that get the BAREST of touches and i wish they were touched on more!! #bc the city of the ancients is the best part of the mission imo.. like it's gorgeous and i wish we saw just a touch more of it!! #like c'mon i KNOW the companions would have SOOOO much to say in the bigger conversations!!!

the limit was seven pegs last night

#also moral of the story was to drink slowly not the 4 pegs i drank in 5 minutes because the aftermaths were disastrous #i kinda love what alcohol did to my nervous system #i think ill have better tolerance if i let it take over me instead of gulping it #had to induce emesis and vomit in volumes 3 times because i ate too much of gravy momos and manipuri cuisine #also this drink did not gave an hangover or headache today morning thats because it was super costly #its kinda magical the whole alcohol world and the science behind it #like there was this supermarket wholly for types of whiskey rum gin vodka brandy even costing upto 80k #and people just enter and purchase like wow #plus they're blended and fermented over years and years one was like 35 years #i passed out actually but it was so fun #the only scary part was thinking what if i die lmao #and to think this is a regular experience in boys hostel is like wow okay um youre ruining yourself #i could do this again me and a friend got a vodka we'll have it on her birthday #100/100 experience

[strawberrysweater]

augh the ot3 and saimatsu...... i just love themb so so so so so much there are so few ships i feel this strongly about... nine times out of ten if i "ship" something it's in a sorta hypothetical way where i hardly ever imagine them doing romantic things together and more just. i like them when they stand next to each other and their dynamic is good/silly/tragic/etc. but saimatsu and saiibomatsu make me so unwell (positive) like. if my aro romance repulsed ass is imagining a ship getting married i have it BAD for them ok

#ot3posting #ALSO KIIBO IS ARO TO ME fbshfjdh see what i mean #i dont think it comes across very well in my art/posts #but i do see the kiibo parts of the polycule as being distinctly queerplatonic in a way #not because it's lesser than shuichi & kaedes relationship but just bc that's how kiibo is and thats how it works out!!! #i imagine his confession went something like #'i love being your friend and it feels so special to me but i don't really want a big change in our relationship- #-i just want you both to know how much i feel it and how important it is to me' #and shu/kae r the ones who do more typical romancey stuff but that doesnt mean they dont all #spend time together and hug and kiss and say i love you etc whatever else couples do #i just think. it's all very new for them both romance and esp polyamory #they wanna break away from boxes and preconcieved notions and just be their own people for healing purposes #so they just let it be. theyre important to each other and are each others partners and that's all that matters #plus i love qpr saimatsu too #and its a little hard for me to conceptualize romance without any kind of Aroness to it yknow #so i like to sprinkle it into my fave ships. im having lots of fun #anyway more absolute nonsense from me i'll be here all week

COMMISSION SHEET UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!

hello trusting followers and non-trusting followers and non-followers! so. commissions have been doing REALLY BAD!! like really bad. i've gotten 2 (two) singular commissions in 2023 and its almost the end of the year so thats. sad. i decided to revamp my commission sheet as my artstyle has changed a decent amount (actually its moreso my brushes and shading that changed but thats a part of an artstyle so ill just say artstyle) and now i am going to go HAM with spreading this shit. i will now be begging on my hands and knees pleading bc obviously whatever i was doing before did nothing so yeah ik tumblr is kinda bad for commissions for. whatever reason but PLEASEEEEEEEEE just reblog this. don't even like it i could not give two shits if you like this post just. reblog. because as long as you reblog theres a higher chance of it reaching more people and therefore have a higher chance of reaching people with money who can afford to give people money! but yeah im a bit desperate. im not like. dying of starvation or homeless or anything, but i shouldn't have to get to that level for people to even consider commissioning me. i do have like. 8 dollars to my name after buying a phone case though. that stinks.

here's the sheet! i contained some references this time. (P.S the money is in CAD, i forgot to put that on the sheet srry)

thanks for reading this and please reblog so i don't stay broke forever <3

#art commission info #art commissions #commission sheet #commissions open #PLUS guest appearances in the refs and price sheet are: #link tloz #link fanart #(i put him in silly little bathing shorts) #helen richardson #helen distortion #helen tma #annie knitts #annie sp #original character #oc art #original art #ok thats all #but also know i love drawing shit from fandoms im not in #including ocs #so dont feel discouraged if you aren't a part of any of my fandoms or the fandoms listed here #ok teehee byeee

[snailcubezz]

i know i said before it's likely that raz was the only exception to the intern program age minimum but Fuck That Actually i think sasha was another exception (just not to the same extent as raz he was like 14 or 15 when joining the psychonauts to me)

because 1) i love the idea of otto meeting this scrawny psychic teen who looks like he's been thru hell and immediately going "oh i can't just Not adopt him" and then bursting into HQ insisting he has Great Potential and should join Immediately

and 2) it would blow raz's mind bc of how much he looks up to him/wants to be like him and i love hcs for them that involve raz finding out he's more similar to sasha than he thought

#meeple.txt #psychonauts #sasha nein #otto mentallis #razputin aquato #cc #this still gives a few years between when he left (which like. he looks like a Child in that memory vault like 8-11 range) #and when he joined the psychonauts #which im Going to continue to put my silly little trauma hcs for that gap bc he was a masking psychic in the prime era of lobotomies #and on top of that basically homeless #so uh. Yeah i don't think he was very safe or happy in that part of his life #plus i want more sasha and otto stuff so badly. thats his funny science dad.

[eirian]

dont kill me for this.

but what if i got into storyboarding and went for that in addition to (or maybe instead of?) character design

#im a huge fan of sequential art and thats part of why i love making comics so much #ive been told my comics are sometimes a bit too 'storyboard-like' bc i like to #show every intricate action and expression in my comics #like i'll have three or four panels for an expression or pose change sometimes #i think i might be good at it once i learn how to do it properly? idk #plus ive been thinking about different avenues for my art career besides character design #if i add storyboarding to my arsenal...that could be good for me #so idk! i'll look into it
