#the most human colour

While the Greek root of the word nostalgia, 'nostos', means 'the return home' — anyone who has been there knows that the return home is never without pain. Nostalgia feels like getting the blues. According to the Oxford English dictionary, 'nostalgia' is 'a form of melancholia caused by prolonged absence from one's home or country; severe homesickness'. Indeed, 'Nostos might hold out the promise that, yes, you can return whence you came, but nostalgia happens because you can't go home again.'

“Except for her, and him.”

Check. No dustpan. No peanut butter.

Omg. So, is he safe?

I was like… well I mean there’s benefits to that, too… mafia ish.

If you can own a man, you’re rich I reckon

Americans like my old friend don’t get it. People. Identifies apparently with others things for ego.

Plastic. I mean, nonsense.

Americans are fragile now. Most whites here are naturally ugly. And steal.

They kept saying they wanted garbage and corruption. So cute!

I’m afraid Josh raped his rent a niece

Or nephew. In America, they pretend to like Irish people but they wanna really butt rape them

Posting it on its own as well cuz there’s something about Danny being naturally quite creepy in ghost form, just left of human shaped and unhinged about it too

Inspired by this thought by Paenling

#Danny phantom #dp #based on a prompt #but seriously what if how he’s seen in the show as just an inverted colour scheme is just how he views himself #and the reality is that no one recognizes him because he does not even present human when in ghost form #like hearing all languages as your personal one and responding like that but everyone else is hearing their language back #the perception is very different based on who you’re looking at #to Danny ghost behaviour is wired into him on a dna level #that he doesn’t even notice when it changes #probably has never thought about it and thinks he acts the same as when he’s human but he doesn’t #it’s not bad #but sometimes it could be #I bet his concept of death and danger is far more skewed as a ghost #and time far more loose #most people begin to feel the years getting in later in life #Danny doesn’t #to him it’s all the same #Sae has thoughts

I have an idea for the requesttober, could you make Scriabin like an endermen? I feel that Scriabin would be an endermen if he were in Minecraft's world

Day 11 - No eye contact >:(

#My art #Requestober #Minecraft #Vargas #Scriabin #Edgar #Scriabin would make a good Enderman haha #I wonder if he'd be a bit indignant since y'know - the Nether is Right There and he's totally a demon! He needs to be from Hell! #But then there aren't really any demonic creatures in the Nether - Nether Skeletons maybe? Haha ♪ #Besides Endermen are cool! They teleport and get mad when you look them in the eyes it's very fitting lol #I wasn't sure if I wanted to give him a purple colour palette somewhere - switch out his blue glasses for purple? :0 #But I opted to just stick with the classic for greyscale :) You can imagine him as a purpley-grey haha #Man it feels like forever since I've drawn them in Minecraft haha - I have played with my Edgar skin since! #It turned into a performative art piece of throwing Edgar off every high cliff I came across - don't ask I was in a weird mood lol #Man it'd be so fun for them to do one of those modded Minecraft playthroughs where Edgar has to try to beat the game #While Scriabin has the morph mod for example and can just turn into random stuff to get in his way (or maybe help? Nah lol) #Only turns into the ''cool' mobs and then the ones that are the most effective at killing Edgar hahah ♪ #''Here I know a way you can win right away >:)'' ''Wait-'' *turns into the Ender Dragon as soon as Edgar gets stone tools* lol #It's fitting for Edgar to stay a human but it'd be fun for him to be able to morph too! #Maybe only into ''normal'' mobs lol - he turns into a sheep and Scriabin immediately dyes him red #Oh no that's a cute imagine of Enderman!Scriabin picking a red flower and then putting it on sheep!Edgar stop me now lol

ive been thinking about trans stress who thinks her friends are all really good allies and doesn't realize all of them never even considered that she might see herself as . really really masculine looking. and there's been this little comic-not-comic playing around in my head. like stress goes all "it's really awesome that you guys have never once mistook me for a guy even though i look so masculine all the time" and every single one of them goes huh. and then iskall goes "well i figure masculine looks really good on you."

n then shes presented with the idea that none of them thinks shes at all masculine and she goes "what??? but i'm so much shorter than all of you! and the ends of my hair are such a bright pink! and when i'm a monster, my claws are so white!" and they're all going okay. what does this mean to us

#[lore texts] #it means to me and to stress that to her species. males are smaller #and also more brightly coloured. in human form it's the ends of their hair that are bright whatever colour their fur is #in monster females its duller and in human form the colour is at the roots #AND its most attractive/masculine to have white claws. the more yellow they are the more its like those #cringefail birds that dont get the girl. you know what i mean

ur sims are darkskinned but their features are completely white 🤨 nothing wrong with that, just wanted to point out that they could've had a skintone suitable for their race

anon, to you, what makes a black person black?

#📬 #sims 4 #this ask to me just feels so loaded. #tinged with a bit of prejudice? mayhaps? #as a darkskinned woman myself never have i ever looked at another human being and chalked their “blackness” to features #especially since genetics determines most of that shit #what makes me black is not my “flat nose” #my “big lips” #or my “kinky curls” #my skin is what makes me black #my mother father aunts friends cousins uncles even my siblings could even have attributes that you may deem “white” #be it how 'dark' they are #genetic features #or even the way they dress or talk #this does not negate their “blackness” #whatever tf that means. #i don't even feel my sims look that similar sooo what abt each of them gives "should be white” to you? curious #i could MAYBE understand if my black sims all had light coloured eyes or tiny button noses… but they don’t. #also this is the sims 4 i beg you move😭

Saw some artists draw Rise Raph’s mask in a bow and I fell in love ♥️

#rottmnt #rise raphael #raphel #i saw the bow and i loved it i was like yes i love how raph is so angry and tough but rise raph punched toxic masculinity in the face #but then i was doodling it and its like #its lgbt history month here in the uk #and most of you know im non binary #and i have been self projecting onto rise raph a lot this past month so #i ended up doing this instead with his two outfits #experimented with colours and textures a little more #i want to branch out and maybe try drawing the other turts and maybe some humans but i am missing my sonic stuff a lot too #but yeah a fem and masc rise raph for the soul for now #i really love all the ideas and headcanons about raph having DID and stuff it is logical #but i also just like that maybe raph is like an onion with lots of layers that i can hug and self project onto mwahahaha #i think i need more practice with this more boxes body shape but i do think this is already much better than my attemp 3 weeks ago so progr #progress #its a shame i dont have time to do lots of studies and redraws i think that be the next step for me to progress #also no one asked but i think his masked it ruined at the bottom because he chewed it when he was younger #also also no one asked even more so but this month ive just been thinking alot about how i present and idk #just a lot of thoughts and reflections going on here i guess #SaveRiseOfTheTMNT

Actually, scratch that, I’m cutting the break short. Good evening, everyone. 💙

#To keep things succinct; the man I was courting tragically found me too intense. #However we persevere nonetheless and refuse to wallow. #I do so wish for an apology from him but alas I fear his ego limits the chances. #Whatever. I went shopping today! And I got the most darling garnet jewellery set. #They look like scales! Snake scales… Dragon scales… just. scales. #And the colour; don’t even get me started on the colour. #Remember kids ! a man will; much like rest of humanity; wither and age and rot to nothing. #A durable; well taken care of and appropriately respected stone will not. <3 #But to return to the topic; I was planning on deleting all social media but. #Self isolation won’t help; even if I have no social energy. #I don’t necessarily have to push myself out of my boundaries. #Social media can also exist solely to reblog 20 posts of your man and then disappear into the void for the next 43 hours. #I likely won’t be interacting much or going out of my way because I do not have the time or energy but. I am cheering everyone on. <3 #⚖️

Decided to do a quick little project in my sketchbook, this is the work I’ve done so far!

Each one of them will have a little section made an them :)

All it took was trying to draw in the style one time for me to decide that me personally, I enjoy the vibe of the Be Cool art style, it's goofy and silly and fun and I had great time trying to capture it. Except Scooby himself, because his proportions confused me and it stressed me out

#I'm a big fan of Fred and Shaggy's designs specifically because I love the shape language in theirs the most #Scooby is fun to look at but terrible to try and draw yourself #my poor boy im so sorry i defaulted to the usual scoobisms be cool bested me in this specific battle #Daphne is great cause she has many an outfit and they are very unique and fun to look at i wanna draw her vampire costume soon too #Velma omg when the eyes are like little dots inside the glasses frames and the glasses in question are LARGE oh yeah now we're cooking #and the monsters are soooo fun too all of them are different i love it #it sucks that a lot of the human designs for the other background characters reuse so many shapes cause the gang themselves are very fun #the colours are a bit bright but literally who cares tbh its a silly comedy cartoon #first day on the tumblr scooby blog and im already pulling out the be cool style analysis in the tags #we're off to a great start everyone

guys i have not very scientifically accurate ideas cooking in my head about that scene where miles gets bit . a level bio come through (too lazy someone probably already made a post though maybe ill try to find one)

#spiders dont have haemoglobin but haemocyanin which gives them blue looking blood (cause it contains copper rather than iron in humans) #which is what colour his blood turns in the animation #makes me think how much of miles is actually spider #dna is also used to make templates for proteins (which make up like... most of the stuff in ur body) #so with part spider dna it could explain why youd physically change after being bitten #some neurotransmitters can also be made from proteins made from our dna (though idk much about that cause theres loads of different classes #idk correct me if im wrong im nt a scientist or anything #vee chats

Has Copperhead's eyesight changed at all as his mutation has progressed?

While Copperhead lost the ability to close his eyes, his sight improved significantly, making him able to perceive his surroundings much more clearly in low levels of light than ordinary humans can. Not only that but the cones in his eyes are much more receptive to colours in these conditions - snakes aren't renowned for having great eyesight but Copperhead is built different, quite literally since even in near total darkness, he can perceive blue and green when most other nocturnal creatures are limited to black and white! His eyes are also great at handling UV lighting, be it high levels during the day or low, low levels at night? Copperhead is comfortable operating at either time of day, even when living in sunny places like his native state of Arizona but rapid changes can and will cause temporary blindness since Copperhead cannot close his eyes against sudden flashes. This temporary state of blindness hinders him less than you'd expect; he goes through this during shedding periods, eyes filming up and glazing over when his skin is preparing to renew but getting flashbanged hurts and will almost certainly piss him off. During the day, he can see about as well as a human with perfect eyesight and very good ability to track moving objects, therefore responding much more quickly due to his Metahuman capabilities but it's at night when his abilities truly comes into play, making him a much more formidable hunter when others are stumbling around blind in the dark.

#mirrordread #;; asks #🐍 || headcanons #Thank you for sending this!!! #This was a really nice question and got me reading up on snakes and their eyes #Copperhead can see REALLY well #Which might seem odd since most snakes aren't known for having great eyesight? #His are fantastic but the lack of eyelids is certainly his greatest weakness! #He'd have to shield them with his hands which makes things harder #To compensate for that he can see in darkness super well #Even seeing colours when most creatures are limited to black and white #He'd be blind to red but blues and greens? All clear! #Even slow-moving objects might as well have flags on them #He'll see that #All the better to watch his targets tbh #aka if a human can see you better believe he's seeing so much more

dysgraphic artiƨts risɘ UP!!!!!

#raise your pencils!!!! and erasers. to fix the backwards letters 😔 #sorry still thinking about my weirdness with my art professors. yknow a lot of em have been really pushing us as #students to make our personal identities a major part of like our 'brand' as artists #which. well from an art history major perspective thats a very contentious and nuanced topic. i love a lot of artists who live this way #and i think its great seeing my peers who focus on identity thrive. but also as an fine arts major (double major fool LOL) #i keep getting pushed by teachers into like. specific '____ artist' identities??? #specificaly woman artist. which is a little bizarre because im a bit fat and a bit gnc so im generally like. ungendered? in day-to-day life #(which doesnt actually matter to me directly that much honestly LOL people tend to view me as like. buddy? buddy or pal.) #(not man. not woman. not anything human. sometimes i remind people of a beloved dog. which. hkdsahjk thats its own can of worms) #(a can of worms that also doesnt matter much to me directly because im a wannabe furry who chose to be the dog when playing house as a kid) #(LOL so um. well. theres that) but yeah i dunno i dont really consider myself a woman artist. its been. shockingly (and sometimes luckily?) #irrelevant to most of my life and experiences and art (although dont get me wrong misogyny is very real and very present) so i dont #have a whole lot to say about it from an art perspective. you could also call me all kinds of things. a queer artist. a mixed race artist #again technically correct. some aspects more visible in my work than others. but also very technical. i focus on race a lot in in my #art historical work but i dunno how much my drawings have to say. except that i keep making too many mixed ocs LOL #i dunno i just think my professors gotta focus that energy away from tokenizing me and over to supporting like actual #capital W Woman artists capital Q Queer artists capital A Artists of Colour who are doing far more interesting things than I #far more thought out and engaged in these topics directly. i just kind of stumble into my art blindly and confused <3 #sorry that was a long tangent WHAT IM SAYING Is despite all that: i do consider myself a capital D Dysgraphic artist #i think its an unmovable constant of my art and the way i draw and the way my hands move. the untrained eye doesnt seem to be as aware #of it directly. but those who are familiar can probably see it. the dysgraphia LOL if not just from whenever i write a letter or number #half of them are busted and frantically fixed HDKJSDJDS but its in all my art. if u can see it <3 ive been trying to embrace it #dygraphic artists raise your pencils indeed!! and throw away the eraser!!! make the legibility of your words everyone elses problem!!! #what does that say? what is that sketch? none of my business! none of your business!! its the business of my hand and the pencil alone #motor skill and spatial issues take the wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel

I also made a card for him (Patreon)
