#so those will never see the light of day

Thank god for Holo Taco cremes making it possible for me to recreate Mika’s nails (OG insta post here). I spent way more time than I should have trying to figure out the pattern but I think I got it right (there are only 8 visible colours in the OG pic but I’m absolutely certain it’s a 10-colour pattern) and decided on purple and melon/salmon as the missing colours. The pink I used (High Tea Hibiscus) is photographing are much darker burgundy than it looks in person, but What Do You Pink? was too pastel/baby pink and if I'm going to be wearing this for a few days, I'd rather have a pink that's too dark than too light

#mika #mikainstagram #mikasounds #holo taco #mika fan art #colour block nails #mani recreation #simply nailogical #I did try to recreate the photo but my fingers and face aren't long enough to get the pose right #so those will never see the light of day #but I'm really pleased with how they turned out #even if royal tea blue smudged #and left on red stained my cuticles #but whatever. A+ concept and A+ execution #I think this is the first time I've earned top marks from myself in both catgories #(ngl I'm kind of annoyed that oh my gourd is the top half of both nails #but those are both visible in the photo so it's Mika's fault they don't fit the pattern. not mine)

Some doodles because the concept art for this mediocre corporate mess has been haunting me

#we could have had it all #starboy #asha x star #wish 2023 #wish rewrite #wish concept art #pls don't bother trying to defend the movie to me cos i really really really don't care #these two have been rotating in my brain like a rotisserie chicken and thats why im here #disney used to be known for exactly three things: insane musical numbers + traumatising parent death scenes and LOVE STORIES #h0w do u manage to leave each of those out of ur big celebration homage flick????.. #i have my own full rewrite with replacement song concepts that will never see the light of day but thats what these come from #the gist is its gender-swapped Stardust where the moral is 'dont strive so hard for an ideal that u miss the good things u already have' #the fanart and animatics and analyses are the best things to come out of this movie by far!

I’m afraid that anon referring to ugly Sunday baby it’s not Sunday making clones of himself or procreating, it’s worse than that: Baby pictures of Sunday someone started and now everyone can’t help but go, wait, that actually makes sense.

Cue many fanart of ugly baby Sunday (and occasionally ugly baby Robin).

ASBXJABCJHSCVJHCV OMFG THIS MADE ME WHEEZE AT LIKE 2 AM WHY IS SOME OF THE ART SO FUCKING DETAILED (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)

#lati speaks #omfg y'all did sunday FOUL he'd hide those baby pictures in the pits of hell where they'd never see the light of day #i spent 15 fucking minutes laughing my ass off everytime i thought of the art ascbajdcsbcb #istg the hsr fandom is so goddamn unhinged i love y'all so much <33

developing a hyperfixation for pacific rim in 2023 is actually painful bcs 80% of the fandom is dead but also it's been fun being in my own little bubble as i discover all of the content that's been accumulating for the past 10 years

#pacific rim #raleigh becket #mako mori #stacker pentecost #maleigh #mako x raleigh #raleigh x mako #charlie hunnam #rinko kikuchi #bcs tell me why i found the character bios GdT posted on his twitter last night and cried reading them bcs i miss them so much #and then found out that he has a completed (COMPLETED!!) screenplay of pacrim 2 just sitting there in his drafts that will probably never + #see the light of day #the sequel that couldve been.... #also got sucked into the maleigh of it all #and eventually i will have to do a deep dove of fics from a decade ago #ive only read the ones from recent years since those were easiest to find #personal #mara speaks

here, have some of the things that have been in my sketchbooks for a while

#doodles #non fandom stuff #there's everything from doodles to d&d characters #and silly comics that i'd make if i was making a comic about a bookstore #and drawings that would be covers for a manga about philosophy but also baking also it's BL bc that sells well at bookstores #according to the coworker who came up to me with the idea about it in a rush #and this isn't even counting the fandom-y stuff i still have yet to post #but those i like to post in groups now so i wait until i have a certain amount of work and then throw it out #unless i decide it's nice enough on its own #what else do i have... #ah yes some fire emblem things as usual #stuff about touken ranbu in various noteebooks and of varying amounts of sense #arknights nonsense if you believe it #uhh some more devil may cry stuff but it is all cringy silly oc shit that may never see the light of day #and then like a ton more of those lil work comics that i keep meaning to post but i think i'd have to properly scan them #because of how they are in the notebook i drew them in... hmmmmmm #anyway here are some things to look at it please enjoy

every day I am in Agony over the fact that widomauk is the first kiss of the campaign, Caleb kissed Molly back in the very end, the literal last scene between King and Caleb is them flirting and King is still so utterly enamored with his Magician, and I just wish...there was any mention of those feelings in the wrap up or a q and a or anything. Absolutely begging Taliesin to tell us what Molly/King feels for Caleb--why he chose to make King's last moments on screen him being explicitly attracted to Caleb, and whether we will ever get to see him revisit those feelings one day...

#widomauk #it just. makes me so sad #i want to hear taliesin talk about king's feelings so bad. what caleb meant to him. why he went with That as his final scene in the campaig #and i feel like we've gotten to hear liam talk so much about caleb's unrequited feelings for jes and things like that and I just...wish #we got some sort of conversation like that from tal or liam #also the 'CALEB. SOFTNESS AND LIGHT' COMMENT THAT MOLLY HAS ABOUT HIM IN THE NOVEL. OR THE FACT LUCIEN #AND KING AND MOLLY HAVE ALL FLIRTED WITH CALEB AT SOME POINT-- #caleb being the person who fought the hardest to get molly back in that final fight. how he kept reaching for him and breaking through #lucien's control #and what that means-- #i dont know if i should feel silly or ridiculous for hoping we get to see taliesin address those feelings one day #but like...maybe this ship just hits different from someone who watched early c2 live and the way this ship was treated then #the episode right before molly died being so full of little adorable moments between the two. all the potential #seeing them get the first kiss of the campaign #matt even making their little minis kiss-- #all the missed potential and loose ends and the feelings they never got to share #would give anything to hear taliesin talk about everything king still feels for the nein #but especially his magic man ;; —

being gay and aromantic is wild because people will accuse you of hating gay people because you (checks notes) wish people would be a little more critical of romance as a patriarchal structure. the thing is that rgu literally does this, it examines and interrogates how romance is a patriarchal structure. every time i talk about aromanticism in rgu people get very upset about that, as though aromanticism impedes queerness— i did not realise we were still doing exclusionism so bare faced. every time i talk about aromanticism, people get upset. im not even talking about it in relation to the show, instead making a general throwaway post about the weight that people afford anything that deals in Romance, and i get told that rgu is a romance and i should cry about it. like. what? rgu made me realise i was aromantic. i was already gay and that gave me the final piece of the puzzle.

to be gay and aromantic does not mean you Just Have Friends (? what does this even mean, let’s unpack this statement at a later date): to be gay and aromantic means myriad things for myriad people. it means queer sex, it means queer connections that aren’t defined as ‘romantic’, it means queer attraction, it means queer understanding. nothing about this devalues romantic queerness, though i must say that every time i post about aromanticism someone has to qualify my words with a statement about how romance is cool too. and sure, it is, but you can maybe understand how that’s exhausting when you actually want a meaningful conversation about your identity. anyway aromantic people i love you aromantic people and gay people i love you gay people (i am both. godbless goodnight)

#it’s funny bc when i was a small baby i got sucked into an exclusionist wormhole #so im perfectly familiar with shit people say about aromantics #rgu helped me years after id already unlearnt that shit by pushing me to see something id been neglecting for forever #i watched 32. ‘oh im aromantic’. finished the show for the first time. got into a relationship two days later #put of dealing with that realisation until an entire year later #now it’s been three slutty years of being happy #and im making this post because i AM happy #i love being aromantic and i love being gay and i love being both of those things #i want to talk about it always. i want people to understand the ways you can experience things if you open yourself up to them #but you know #this isn’t so much my utena sideblog as it is the sideblog to Me guy who has only seen utena #my identity is like at least 70% utena. and i love it. and i have never struggled to love it #it’s everything to me. gah anyway swagever LOVE AND LIGHT FOREVER ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #dais.txt #dais talks aspec

The fact that we can't keep Astarion’s vampirism a secret so when he's inevitably caught sneaking out of our tent we have to pretend to be lovers to keep it all under wraps should be considered a crime

#baldur's gate 3 #astarion ancunin #astarion #i was genuinely shocked when the morning after the bite everyone immediately knew our business #i thought keeping his fangs on the dl was gonna be a Thing #mechanics wise it would suck for those wo a way to cast lesser restoration wo shadowheart but it could've been an interesting rp choice #and Astarion would be thrilled to have secured your attention and loyalty so quickly even if it is somewhat fake #a fake dating cover story is so perfect here and i def want to see it in more fanfics #im writing one myself but it will never see the light of day bc i am Picky and Perfectionist

Anyway speaking of the sun did I ever tell you about the tales of arise eclipses

#im thinking about it again xyhdfgdchdchjh #do you think they like. considered it #i MEAN ofc they did #they cided that sun disappearing behind rena but dO YOU THINK #that they initially planned to have that actually impact like. the WORLD #in a significant manner? #with the actual luminosity level being affected and all #because like for cyslodia iirc this means no sunlight in the morning #(or cyslodia that we get to explore cyslodia's pretty big after all) #but like i can see how this is a problem like #you liberate cyslodia that is the One Realm where its always nighttime except when you end the renans' grasp on the region there #it still doesnt get a full day of sunlight because of astronomical reasons that we cant do anything about yet #also probably the region of the Central Ocean is in perpetual darkness as well but for those same astronomical reasons #like it GERS CONFUSING it would confuse everything idk #but heres the solution: you ditch that cyslodia in endless nighttime idea bc it was stupid in the first place #like. in calaglia they harvest fire astral energy so its a fiery place. theres fire everywhere. in menancia theyre harvesting #earth astral energy so its super lush and green. and so on and so forth #and in cyslodia theyre harvesting light astral energy so theres. theres no light. its dark. because theyre stealing it!!!!! #well why usnt menancia a barren wasteland then. why isnt ganoth super dry. wha #i COULD accept it if like. maybe. if like the completely stealing the light thing us like. ganabelt specifically. #like hes just a Special Boy and found a way to pull all the stops #and something like that has never been done before in the history of the crown contest #but no this has been going since the great conquest apparently so??? #like how arent the other lords doing something like that too? #is light astral energy like so fundamentally different that the harvesting process is the opposite of what happens in other realms? #and if thats the case why dont they ever explain it in the game. or just make a pasing comment about it. I'm not picky #aaaanyway. just get rid of that specific cyslodia plot point #and THEN you can focus on how living in the shade of rena influenced what parts of Dahna #like. to just kinda like. cement the world building a bit?
