#some other dudes too as well

[10-porgs-in-a-trenchcoat]

One of my favorite genres of male character probably has to be the guy who, upon meeting a woman who can and does kick his ass, thinks “she kicked my ass, the only logical course of action for me now is to marry her.”

#I rewatched Shang-Chi last night #and this is Wenwu to a T #some other dudes too as well #like Kylo Ren and Loki and heck even Doug Judy from B99 #maybe some others I’m missing #xu wenwu #shang chi #marvel #mcu #Loki #sylki #Star Wars #Ben solo #Kylo Ren #Reylo #brooklyn 99 #b99 #doug judy #also idgaf if you hate any characters or ships tagged in this post so save your breath

Human Wizard, Lacuna.

ever make a standby DnD character and immediately go feral over them

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd oc #in a dnd lull so to keep myself sane i am coming up with some character concepts to keep in the tank #gotta have a neurotic wizard with a thousand yard stare #and enough ambition to cause serious damage #i have a couple other pc ideas but they require drawing armor and i love myself too much to do that to me right now #must resist making them all human #i am a basic bitch #style consistency who #saving this dude for a horror campaign #even though all my characters seem to be able to fit well in horror campaigns... look i love horror #the kiss is a tattoo #sometimes you just gotta ask yourself “what kind of dnd character would I want played by 70s Al Pacino?” then make an overwhelmed wizard #with a new york accent #original character #biji draws #oc #manifesting a game and the time to play in it

#madness combat #madcom oc #my oc #atp soldat #the soldat in the dark (tm) actually cares about his bro #a lot #but he just can't get sad when he warned him about this shit nonstop #no id #The bitten guy just acts too friendly because his program made him too altruistuc and kind #Which sometimes helps since he is one who recruits workers #Well #Probably it's more benefitial most of the time #But he gets in shit like “oh i just wanted to help civilian get out from dangerous location and they stabbed me :(((” #And he ain't bullied for it by anyone but his bro. He is too... Kinda. Uh. Hard to bully guy who is most safest option to talk with auditor #And not die lol. It also doesn't help that he is guy who knows all of the AAHW by names and will kick you hard for bullying anyone #So bullying him is a privilege of some atp soldats #not an option :D #Other soldat here is just walking anger issues and he got no friends other than his bro. Constantly lashes at anyone. The Bitten™ included #So they're got that dynamic of angry antisocial cynical guy and pessimist & optimistic kind dude (well #(well he got a lot of mental issues too #But doesn't show it and never let it hurt others.) #And he is much older than the pessimist :'D #Pessimist guy is very young actually. But just experienced shit nonstop from birthday and lost very much everyone he cared about #And the second one... just atp soldat with no past. never known any other thing than work in AAHW and orders. Easy to manipulate #He also gets “You're not a real person” a lot for it. And constanly offended by it. But it's a problem of all yellow bloods here #Especially him #since he litterally didn't had a life outside from aahw. Also don't think he wouldn't kick his friends hard for orders. #Kill even. He is a dog for orders first #Kind guy with good morals is only second

Gonna ask this to a few people that inspire me, but how do you take inspiration from things without feeling like whatever you make is just bad in comparison? Or like a downgraded version of the thing(s) that inspired you?

(If this is too negative feel free to delete/ignore, I'm sorry)

Oh gosh this is such an interesting question since, I dont think I really have feelings of thinking my version is bad? Or that I am just a copy?

I am honestly just grateful my work became as popular as it is in the first place haha- low expectations going in to begin with. That and, I am very aware my art style isnt as defined and polished as other peoples styles, but I have come to terms with this! And hey the improvement in my own artwork over the past year is a massive trip if you go back through some of my older stuff- I am improving, slowly.

I mean, 2AL started by complete accident, and was "inspired" from me wishing the Leos from OMO or MNMC would hug it out already- but if you were to compare 2AL to one of those, they are very different. Hell even comparing OMO and MNMC, same starting point, but still very different.

I think my only advice to other people trying to make an AU is to try and find some core theme/idea and work around that, rather than gather a bunch of little things from other sources you like into a big pile. Find some key message to start up a base with.

#asks #no seriously 2al was by COMPLETE accident #and then it exploded so I kept it going #oh well #also like!!!! #seriously #the people you are probably comparing yourself too #chances are just have wayyy more experience and practice than you #like!!!! dude sometimes it hits me how many of my friends and other “big blogs” are either #1. professional artists who do this shit for a living anyways #or 2. have been drawing digitally for way way longer than me #digital art is still new territory for me so I am giving myself some slack here #that and I have no interest in art for a career #this is just my side hobby! #yknow!!!! #for FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! #and wheres the fun in going #“damn this person who has years more experience than me and draws for a living is... somehow better at drawing than me this is so unfair” #answer: theres no fun in that #but also fr- #I have only been doing digital art consistently (in this style specifically) for. #a year- #deadass. #I have not done much art before all this outside notebook paper doodles #and the occasional once every month or two painting #all this is so new to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #im learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #I deserve to give myself so so much slack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #I have also improved so much in the past year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #oops tag ramble

Saw some of the grossest parenting today in the bus

#this dad was on his phone the whole bus ride ok #and his two kids were screaming arguing #at most he would periodically tell them to lower their voice while still on his phone #one time he told them to stop the one sitting next to him hit him 😭 and he went back to look at his phone with no reaction #my guy something is seriously wrong with you #your kids are screaming at each other doesn't even matter all that much that we are in the bus rn #theyre not just being loud kids you need to do smt!!!!!! its too early for this!!! i could hear them even with my noise cancelling headphone #anyways #ive never seen smt like this #and i work in a mall i see lots of parents and kids #idk smt really disgusting about a parent just not even interested in engaging with their kids #dude no wonder they're loud they probably want ur attention #also this one lady once who came in wjth a big stroller #and the store where i work has little moving rooms between the aisle so this woman decided TO LEAVE THE STROLLER WITH A KID INSIDE AT THE #FRONT OF THE STORE #the kids started crying and his hrother (toddler not in the stroller but not following the mom for some reason) started exploring and i #i had to watch them until the mom came back but like the woman just left them there??? #i just stepped in but what if i hadnt??? lady????????? #i see lots of cute interactions of course #like this little girl who came with who i think is her grandpa and he asked me to help her chose her next manga read 😭💖 #i basically work in a book/toy store #theres a lot of candy as well the kids love it #idk i like seeing kids being happy ok it is healing #like all the kids sitting on the floors deep in their books while the parents shop 😭😭😭 makes me smile every time top tier behavior

Hey. RTD2. If you're playing some sort of long game with this whole not even mentioning the existence of Martha Jones thing as a way to throw us off the scent of a possible appearance from her later in season "1" or "2" of this era...

Nah. I can't even begin to let myself hope it will happen.

#dw spoilers #doctor who spoilers #doctor who #martha jones #i was gonna say he's on thin ice but nah boy is underwater with me #i'll still be tuning in. for Ncuti Gatwa. i've currently lost the bit of hope i had in RTD2's era though. #because so much of what i predicted would happen in the handling of Fifteen came true. and then top it off with Martha. #but i let some hope grow during Wild Blue Yonder. because i was enjoying it. a lot. #but we've really gotten off on the wrong foot. making Fifteen really have to share being the Doctor. #and Fourteen's face as Ten traveled with 3 companions. 4 if you count Sarah Jane. 5 if you count River. #and you mention all of them. besides Martha. #not even a joke of 'hey well Martha got out.' to the Toymaster in retaliation for all the dead companions #the Fam and Dan were left out too. but they all survived relatively unscathed. and none of them traveled with Ten. #you have Tennant's face. you mention all of Ten's other companions. you leave out. Martha Jones. #will he gain it back? hopefully. but dude. you do a 6oth anniversary special. you bring back Tennant for the THIRD time. #you leave out Martha Jones. almost purposefully. not even Mel or Kate saying 'lots of companions worked for us. like Martha.' #SIMPLE. JUST NAME DROP HER. SOMEWHERE. ANYWHERE. AT ANYTIME. JUST ACKNOWLEDGE SHE EXISTED. #all those 'ah your old face' 'look same face' 'i got this face back' comments. no mention of someone the face traveled with. #i'm upset

I love all the little details in In Stars and Time so much

(Just as a note, I am currently in (the beginning? of) act 3)

The way that after a few loops the excited "It's my allies!" turns into a less enthusiastic "It's my allies." (And I think it used to be "it's my friends!" but I'm not entirely sure)

The first time Siffrin knocks into the counter and gets embarrassed, and then another (the next?) time it's frustrated, and then playful, and then frustrated again but this time refusing to show it.

The little remarks that become "..." in later loops

I'm pretty sure the descriptions of the deaths got a little more graphic? I think when he slipped on the banana peel it said that he tripped or that he fell. In a later loop it said something about cracking their head open on a rock or something.

Their wish for victory became a wish for rest

It's just so interesting to me. For some reason, this game almost makes me feel like I'm reading a book. But also not really? I think it's because of how the details are laid out. My favorite stories to read have almost always been the ones that I can pick apart, and this game is very much like that.

#isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #maybe? they're pretty small spoilers compared to the one I ran into #just in case #I love this game soooooooo much #I see siffrin and get immediate cute aggression #amd they're so sad :( #I want his friends to notice that something is off #I've seen little moments of it but nothing big yet #and there are some odd things going on that intrigue me #bonnie said the weird sadness (which looks a little like loop) smells like burnt sugar #the king mentioned something about siffrins smell #does he smell like burnt sugar too? #the weird sadnesses are connected to time in some way since defeating them lets you get rid of time stopping tears #also I'm pretty sure king is the croissant dude #and that he and siffrin are from the island everyone forgot #maybe it's that place on the globe that's been worn down? #the fact that siffrins carvings only come out well when they chant things like “please be good please be good please be good” is interestin #and their wishes for being faster/stronger/whatever the other one was called always comes true #despite mirabelle saying that the change god rarely blesses anyone #oh! there was that weird double siffrin down the hall that disappeared when I got closer #and at one point siffrin became so stressed that time rewound without him dying or being frozen #and it always hurts his stomach when he loops back #I'm just waiting for the group to get suspicous/concerned #and for siffrin to have another breakdown #this gaaaaaaaaame #I love it so much

[raspberry-gloaming]

I keep seeing videos online being like "back in my day we wanted toys and things that were popular and people around us also wanted for Christmas but now my kid wants trendy things and an Iphone 15"

and ive seen it phrased so many times that their idk 8 year old is like "I need the iPhone 15 for Christmas and I'm you bought me the iPhone 14 for my birthday but now that's old and crusty" and acting like wow my kid is so spoilt and bratty kids these days suck like - YOU ARE TJE ONE WHO BOUGHT A KID THE IPHONE 14 FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY?! THEY'RE 8. YOURE DOING THIS!

They act like it's the kids fault when really they're growing up with access to things they really oughtened to, and some of the other things are just "my friend thinks it's cool and the rich kids at school have it so I want it" like you millenia parent didn't do the exact same thing just with other things. I hate that they're making fun of the kids due to their parenting choices.

#their Christmas list in entirety adds up to so much money! #how am I gonna afford all this? #I've also seen parents claiming their kids are so spoilt and bratty because #but like... aren't Christmas lists normally a “here's a bunch of things I'd love and then you pick some stuff off it so I get a surprise!” #dudes and girlypops #both as gender neutral terms #your doing this to yourself #creating a negative attitude towards your own children #girl I never expected my Christmas list and in still a teen so not too long ago I was that age #I asked for at least one type of animal every year (degus - chinchillas - rabbits - snakes - leopard geckos - dogs - cats - chickens - #bearded dragons - the lot) #knowing for well I'd never get them #and my parents wouldn't because no you don't get everything you want this is a wishlist not an everything shopping list #but holding out a teeny hope that Santa would take pity #but my point is that those among other things I knew I wasn't likely to get #millenials #parenting #gen alpha #Christmas

#before the pandemic i sold a lot of original paintings and such at conventions and shows in my area #well some locals at a gathering today kindly informed me someone has been selling copies of my plague doctor piece #and some of my mini prints and presenting them as their own same with stickers #its not only ai we gotta worry about now even the damn locals are doing this shit #i got a show in may coming around the corner and I'm thinking i might not even sell paintings and stuff anymore if this is going to happen #im a creator that loves collaboration and thinks art should be free to enjoy #if this person approached and asked if they could sell my work i wouldn't give a fuck personally provided they give me credit and or a link #back to my stuff hell if people want to print my work if they cant afford it go for it #but fuck dude you don't just claim you did all that work as if it was yours #this was disheartening news #and several other local artists found out too at this venue that their work had been turned into stickers that vendors bought off amazon #ill hop off the soap box in a minute #still scrambling to get kofi stuff set and donation links prepared #thanks for your patience everyone #im getting out of a depressive funk too with what happened at my work place #and im gonna be speaking with a legal aid rep next week #magenta is my safe word for venting

kinda funny in a sorta sad way how people will be calling a character trash before they're even out and then upon release when they realize the character is actually good they start comparing them to earlier units and calling THEM trash

#honkai star rail #yes this is about argenti #and now that they realized that argenti is in fact good jing yuan is getting called trash again he cant catch a break for real #but i remember people were talking shit about luocha as well before he was released #like idk maybe wait until you can actually try a character in game or smth #wish people could accept that diff characters have diff playstyles and some are harders to build then others #that doesnt mean theyre bad #normally i wouldnt care about this its just gotten too much and i had to go on a little rant #anyway my advice is ultimately just pull for and play the characters you like #hsr #my post #forgot to add and cant move tags so here it goes: when i said diff playstyles #i meant that even characters who are on the same path tend to work differently (and this is something i really like about this game) #dude im so tired i cant even convey my thoughts properly i hope this post makes sense

heterosexuals really want to see lenny and midge get together

queers understand that it's all about susie and midge

#really like both characters -- not a fan of it clearly moving towards the romantic #the marvelous mrs. maisel #ah well i knew it was a heterosexual show #but it IS post-2018 it coulda been bolder... #it's that very heterosexual progression narratively -- a dude in and out inevitably becoming love interest because he is there consistently #any other dude is just filling in until the narrative decides that now is the time to get them together for good #meanwhile the lead's whole narrative up until a certain point (when the narrative has started shying away because the queerness has become #Too overt) has revolved in some way around someone of the same gender #already framed in terms of the domestic/building a life together #eventually this domesticity will be supplanted by a more acceptable het domesticity i imagine #we've seen it many a-time before and im sure we will again #ofc there's the extra weirdness of lenny bruce being based on... the real lenny bruce #you couldnt have gone for a fictional person? based off of lenny bruce? #holding out for midge to not end up with any guy i believe in you show!

i think how i write steven as a ""retired cryptid"" is extremely funny bc he still lives in pallet town. just in a walled-off part. he would never willingly reintegrate with society fully but just. imagine if he did at least partially. imagine if some delivery guy came to pallet town and was like asking the residents where a "mr. steven" would live and theyre all like

"The guy on the edge of the town???? The cryptid??? Our local boogeyman???" "yea that one"

#wispy chatters #steven strangled red #big tag ramble on this one i have THOUGHTS i LOVE domesticated cryptid steven #its funnier bc his 'side' of pallet to the west or whatever is walled off #and i imagine its walled off enough to the point where its like hard to climb or jump over ( at least if you're short or weak ) #so its just like. the deliveryguy has to go thru that. and has to text steven like. 'Dude i cant deliver the package like this' #and hes just like 'idk drop it on the other side'. #deliveryman just goes 'i am not legally liable if the package gets damaged ok' and steven just groans #and goes outside to reach his hands above the weird stone gates and picks up the package and just goes back in his house #Imagine domesticated cryptid steven is what im saying. #i also like to imagine he'd scare the residents for fun by ominously sitting at the edge of the stone gates at night #and glaring at people w his red eyes. #for literally no reason other than to scare people bc he probably finds scaring people funny #i call him a retired cryptid but hes still pallet towns local cryptid who is really playing into the role after he stopped actually killing #and also probably when he was too but like less so. #imagine theres like a day dedicated to steven in pallet for some reason where people just offer things near the gate for him to pick up #bc its smth the kids of pallet who were told the story of steven just kind of imagined like #'oh well sometimes you give offerings to legendaries or during ceremonies. or so the cryptid at the edge of town doesnt eat us.' #imagining the residents of pallet or whatever and sometimes other people drop him gifts on like... his birthday or the date of The Incident #and also cuz yk during his depression spiral ppl constantly gave him gifts #i think he'd just be very confused and very conflicted esp if they did make it on the Incident Day bc hes just like. #'i dont want your pity.' but then the day after all of the gifts r gone cuz he took them anyways. #almost all of them r prob given to miki bc its 'her' day unless its food then he splits it between em. and his partner if he has 1. #he just sees it as 'oh cool i dont have to go to the grocery store today. thanks.' #also prob happens on other dates too like christmas/halloween/his birthday #I think if steven was more normally adjusted and his side of pallet was open he'd make his house a haunted house on halloween #and would just scare people for funsiez and if he caught them he just throws them out . maybe give candy n then do tht if theyre a kid.

More Kae thoughts on him being a parent—deffo would have his hand forced to actually tell sb about his Khaenri’ahn heritage and especially the ties his family has to the Abyss Order, bc the last thing he needs is for the Order to interfere with his life/get ahold of his kid for one reason or another. Preferably the revelation would be for a partner bc they’re easier to trust, but if he’s single at the time, then Noelle or Lisa would be most in the know alongside Adelinde.

#hc; kaeya #//Adelinde is separated bc unlike the others; she already Knows everything save the Abyss connection #//In my mind; Kae would have told her some time after Luc left; out of guilt #//And partially bc he thought she would reject him like Luc did and force him out #//Broke him immensely when she didn’t cast him away; in fact held him so tight and expressed sorrow he felt he needed to hide it #//Even with that he Is still scared of what she’d react abt the Abyss order #//Khaenri’ah is one thing; the very monsters actually causing harm to the people/their nation is a whole Orher thing #//But yeah; if it means the safety of his kid; he’ll tell the most trusted he can #//Not Luc for VERY obvious reasons; and not Jean bc she has too much in her plate as is #//Plus he’s p sure she’d tell Diluc; and then he’s screwed either way #//Also fears how Rosie would react; so she’s not a good option either. and like HELL is he trusting Venti anywhere NEAR his kid #//Doesnt know if Venti would do anything or not; no matter how much he himself actually likes the funky lil dude #//Kae damn well knows he’d tear Teyvat and Celestia asunder for his kid; for their safety or in retaliation for any harm unto them #//Betteer take preventative measures to ensure he does Not in fact go fucken Ape Shitt in worst case scenario #//Assuming Traveler isn’t his partner; they’d be perfect to help protect his kid…save the fact they’ve got Other places to be
