#the rest are way darker

[canisalbus]

omg they're beauty marks... i assumed they were those dark whisker bumps that some real-life dogs like vasco have! it works really naturally as a design aspect

They could be those too, but I think the position is a little too high?

#the way I see it they're very very slightly dented and covered with short and velvety fur like the rest of his face #just condensed spots of darker pigmentation #answered #anonymous

the amount of surprised pika “wait people actually shave their arms?” comments on posts about body hair are so funny like I unironically am so happy for you that you weren’t laughed at by a classmate for having hairy arms “like a man” in like 4th grade this is why I wish body hair conversations would stop centering around armpit hair

#okay that’s the tldr but the way I actually remember it is that the classmate (a boy) pointed out my arm hair and ask why so hairy #and I genuinely was so confused I was just like idk??? and then later at home that day I asked my mom about it and she was like #It’s bc your dads side of the family is hairy so then I later talked to that guy again like ‘I take after my dad’ or whatever #And /then/ is when he laughed and was like ‘but you’re a girl’ about it #Granted I’m non-binary but like I didn’t know that in elementary #Plus I didn’t stop shaving until around mid 2010s and was still self conscious about it for years #Like I remember feeling embarrassed during college (2018ish) if I had to use the rest room and someone else was in there when I would roll #My sleeves up to wash my hands #Anyways I eventually stopped caring about it sometime within the last year or 2 but see how long that took? It really shouldnt #Like some of us just genetically have more darker thicker visible body hair than others and we shouldn’t be shamed for it #One thing at a time though because even I’m still working through leg hair shame #I don’t shave them anymore but I also haven’t worn shorts outside of my bedroom in years #I’ll literally switch into shorts if it’s too hot right before bed and switch back into pants before stepping out of my room in the morning #I’ve been feeling cute the past few days and it’s starting to warm up again plus also had a convo w mom recently so #I might change that soon but only within the house still bc baby steps <3 #Anyways I’m just rambling now so I should stop. Good night !!

Yeah that'd be terrifying if it was the same person for human sun and moon

Curses now I'm thinking about how it would work agh

venom situation

#so basically same way as animatronic sun and moon work #except they only switch personalities instead of physical appearance #maybe just the eye color and darker hair color #they change the rest on their own #shrugs #fnaf #ccrt human au #ask lily

nyan nyan Kanon mix coord 🌸 🎀

I looooove love love making mix coords and it's my main hobby in pripara now that only tops matter for scoring. but it's definitely harder to make a nice one with a onepiece taking over the whole look... I did my best, but I don't know if my best was enough for this one. (・・;)

#the shoes being a slightly darker hot pink than the rest bothers me to no end. but i like that the op is less cutesy this way #milk idol diary

Oh yeah practicing pokemon with some rampardos solly:]

#al art #al ocs #rampardos #im gonna be honest with you solly would be so so so much happier as a rampardos #not just because rampardos are dumb but that whole ignorance is bliss is definitely a part of it #i think she would just fucking love being a rampardos #ALSO ALSO can i say how fucking perfect rampardos is for them? the colour scheme the headbutting the typing #THE BLUE HELM ON ITS HEAD #ALSO solly theyre. vaguely supernatural. in the whole undead 'cane back wrong' way with a helping of amnesia right? #so how fucking fitting is it that rampardos is an EXTINCT pokemon that was brought back artificially that NATURALLY learns a psychic move #zen headbutt my fucking beloved #i already adored rampardos before but after assigning it to solly like im in love genuinely like top 5 pokemon. maybe even 3 #i gotta say i didnt want to give solly a face even as a dinosaur but i didnt really know how to cover it #do like you know how the flat top of rampardos' head is a much darker black than the rest of its body? i just pulled that over the eyes #did not know what else to do honestly but i think it works #solly

I have to draw his tail as a heart, it’s the rules (Original)

#Rescan #Doodles #Law Abiding Citizen #LAC #Doug Peterson #LAC Russ #Roug #Unfortunately the last doodle from that set was from my at-the-time alt notebook and I haven't scanned any of my alt backlog :( #And it's in storage with the rest - and of course I don't have the original photo either since it was on my exploded iPod #All these limitations! So pls forgive without it for now - when I get ahold of it I'll update and reblog this one lol #I was honestly tempted to redraw him in my current style and add that instead lol but nah I'll try to keep them fairly time-accurate #I am honestly fascinated by how my style has been molded around my preferred editing medium #Like I knew little drops of colour was my Big Turning Point for TGWDLM but like - look at the lines and tones #Or lack thereof lol - I was way more likely to go for strong bold lines and minimal shading/toning for hair and whatnot #And even when I did tone like Doug's hair it's Very light - all to work around my photo editor since I knew it skewed darker #So I could get away with a lack of toning because the paper itself would turn dark and the lines even darker #But scanned it almost looks faded :0 It's a really interesting difference! #Anyway ♪ For as old as this set is it's honestly still one of my favourites #I was on that good shit with their posing especially in the Low Life one hhhhhh <3 <3 <3 #Russ' soft fingers on Doug's lower horn and their foreheads touching so much and fjdsklafd they love each other <3 #Plus look at some of these fun wacky shapes lol like Doug's foot??

It looks so fun lol #There was a fun chaotic energy :) I miss it a little :') #I'm sure I could draw similar Shapes but it really is the Energy for me hmm #It's been a while since a proper fixation uou And I miss theirs of course <3 They were one of the best ♥

ok but like. he looks pretty much the same but it's an improvement. right

#actually don't tell me what you think lmao i think it's an improvement because he looks way better from the front #but i don't think anyone but me would be able to tell the difference unless they're side by side like this #i think having a more blenderish resting pose in cas helped like. a lot #ok i think the next step is to. unfortunately. edit his hair #i might even try to change the color #i think aiden's hair is a little darker in my head plus it's be nice to already have more shadow and highlights on it for hair drawing #and. might be easier to tell lucas and aiden apart if they don't also have the EXACT same hair color lmao

You want it darker, Leonard Cohen.

A little edit I made cause I’m obsessed by two things at the moment: this song, and Andor (I blame @tovezza for making me connect the two) 

#i've a much longer vid planned with the whole song but for the moment i just managed to do this little snippet #cause i desperately wanted the 'i'm ready my lord' part #but now i need to do the rest #damn i've overthought this song way too much #andor #andoredit #cassian andor #luthen rael #you want it darker #leonard cohen

[realness-remade]

ugghhggjggghhhhh ive been so out of it all day

#rainy weather making me sleepy as hell because the rest of my house is already way darker than my room in normal light #i miss My rooooom #my fathers gonna take a look at the outlet tomorrow and hopefully soon after i can go to the doctor. Please

OMG. I’ve fallen in deep in your tags relating to Daemon and Rhaenyra.

Not sure if anyone’s ever asked this, but who do you think was Nyra’s “one true love”? If anyone at all.

Hum... am I right to assume you didn’t read the books? 

Here you go, this is about canon Rhaenyra Targaryen bwt, asoiaf-canon Rhaenyra Targaryen: 

Bonus from “The World of Ice and Fire”:

Now, you tell me...

#rhaenyra targaryen #daemon targaryen #daemon x rhaenyra #can it be more obvious #canon daemon targaryen #canon rhaenyra targaryen #don't expect this to be the same in redacted though #asoaif canon and got canon is NOT the same #and they chose quite the way to make rhaenyra darker so the greens don't look like the pos they are #and so criston doesn't look like the incel he is on canon #either you believe Mushroom or Eustace #I'm talking about canon Rhaenyra btw #fire and blood #house targaryen #I rest my case #the princess and the queen #the rogue prince #popcorn answers the obvious #actually the books answer for her #speaking of myself in the third person

kudos to the xy anime at least for a) using zygarde in a genuinely really interesting and fun way and b) not trying to be like “ohhhhh lysandre has a point thoughhhhhh hes just extreme about itttttt”

#the world if we got pokemon z #which ig the anime did give us in a way so. #xy hurts me personally bc like its so close to being fantastic and a really good expansion of the games w a darker tone #but its held back by the fact that the anime will never really get as dark as it wants to its ''dark'' moments come across as forced #the time it felt the most natural was during the flare arc which felt appropriate bc they finally set up that people were going to die #and there were massive stakes at hand instead of. ''oh boo hoo ash lost a battle'' #quoting dante but like just read pokespe xy it does a much better job at being a darker adaptation of the game and expanding on it #also personally just dont like it when media is like ''oh!!! oh!!! we're ADULT actually!!!!!! look at us reference porn!!! and DEATH!!!!'' #and it puts no effort into actually being a more mature take. especially when we're talking about a kids show #like. gravity falls is mature in a way thats palatable to kids still while still being enjoyable and tense for adults #because it does talk about death and family estrangement and drama and focuses on that stuff #it takes the time to dedicate itself to those moments #and thats why the flare arc is so good to me and not the rest of xy. flare arc is able to focus all of its energy into the emotional stuff #bonnie's song is hands down my favorite xy moment tbh like the buildup for that througout xyz was phenomenal #its just that to get to that i had to sit through ''ha ha this scene looks like ash is begging serena for sex'' and ''ha ha snake kink!'' #echoed voice

redraw of an old one. go in the dark

old thing below the cut

#original #why must you destroy my image quality. blease #anyway. colouours. what color is his shirt? fuck if i know #been about a year since the last one. oh hold on maybe i should put the old one here #ok. uh #i wrote some tags ripping on the old one but i suppose i will refrain. hes a lil ugly tho #decided to render him out mostly because his shirt looked weird with broad brushstrokes but it worked out for the rest of it too #i dig him. the lighting was originally way bigger from the lamp but i like the darker one a lil better. even tho i am colors 1 no.1 fan #colors no.1 fan. why is there an extra 1 hello #ANYWAY. holds my hands out to reveal a him #my FUCKIGN guy. occupies 90% of my brainspace at any given time #i have some others of him ive done in the past few days but for reasons that I know and you don't im most likely not uploading them #peace n love on planet earth #oc #Julian Dae #ocs

I hate degradation tbh, but it’s so prevalent that it’s hard to get away from it :( And I get kind of suspicious when I find men (esp cishet white men) that really like degrading women specifically. Like why do you enjoy that so much Paul? Huh?

NO BUT fr. fr. fr. fr. fr. fr. fr. fr. fr. slams reblob. fr. fr. fr.

there's literally so much to say on the subject that i barely even want to get started (or know how to address it all properly), but like...

as well as i can just ignore it on here, it's so concerning to think about how... decontextualized snippets of intense smut can promote the abuse of inexperienced women... simply because while women's/non-cis/poc interest in kink often coincides with experience and exploration... cishet male interest can stem from unrealistic porn that promotes the idea that dominance is equivalent to violence.

which isn't to say sex can't be good or safe (and that porn isn’t damaging to everyone, in a way)... or that u shouldn't like degradation, but it just makes so much more scary to find a good partner who has an understanding of treating you well otherwise.

and i actually think about it ALL the time because... i'm kinda one of those people who like, doesn't consider watching porn cheating... but also i'm bonking myself on the head because... THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT BAD!!!

and i mostly just bring this up because (i was literally ALWAYS debating about this w/ my ex)... it's so different when an oppressed group partakes in sexual endeavors (including porn) vs. when a man does... and that's not something i think gets talked about enough, the difference in reasons for AND responses to consumption.

but it makes my blood BOIL. that vulnerability in sex has been so.... dissociated from reality, safety... purpose. etc. to the point where... i can hard stand degradation even when i know that people genuinely enjoy it.

and this is only one facet of it all, so i could go on. but anyway.

reminds me of something i saw that was like.............. "the person who's most likely going to treat you with proper bdsm etiquette isn't the hunky, aloof guy, it's the nerdy one who runs a d&d club."

That shit made me slap my knee.

#PAUL ASJDHFASLJKD N #anon ur brain is so big sorry i got carried away #if i mentioned everything i wanted to... we'd be here all night #BUT... like. #girl (esp non cis non white ones) are a very.......... .... vulnerable group #whether or not u think u are personally #and i think communities like this one... to put it lightly... promost unrealistic experiences #promote* #which is good in some ways bc i like to think im helping to raise the bar... but also create narratives where it seems easy to exist #a lot of us are here because we've been beaten down by life #and that is something that can be exploited #esp if you're into darker things #so blah blah blah JUST BE CAREFUL WHO U TRUST WITH URSELF #just because u like a heavy k*nk doesn't mean its okay coming from some people #and u know the rest but like. yeesh #boys watch corn cuz they've trained themselves to like violent smex #and girls watch corn cuz we're coping with that #(obvs there are exceptions bc girls can be horrid too but like) #u capitalize off pain while we try to survive under it #ask #anon #caitie chats #sx talk #tw:degradation.

SO much fun!!!!! one of my favourite new mysteries I had a delightedly good time with it #Medicine Walk is so special. I’d wanted to read Wagamese for so long and I’m glad I finally did #I listened to a radio clip of him talking about writing this book for his two sons as a way for them to understand their relationship with #him better #When We Were Birds is another favourite book of the year I looooooved it. so beautiful #i loved Yejide I loved her family I loved the writing I loved the way the characters begin to intertwine I loved it #Autumnn! my first ali smith novel and certainly I’ll be reading more from her #this book swept me away I was reading and reading and came up for air forgetting I wasnt seeing the story happen right in front of me

options, people, options!

please refer to the previous post if you want more details/rambling on what ive been thinking (and also references of this section)

so ive cut out all i said i was going to, and now is the first look on how it could go together! these first three are with the camel brown colour and the various grass options

and the next ones are with the orange colour (and grass!)

as usual the camera is kinda fucking with the colours but i think these are at least giving a good impression of how they all go together finally!! heres a couple pictures closer up with more accurate colours hopefully

im still not sure about the contrast on the lighthouse, but its definitely not too bad! i think ill start on the rest of the lighthouse pieces next and get a better look all together, but aside from that!!!

what are we thinking, are any of these looking good?

#if youre thinking these look like they dont quite fit its bc this is all with seam allowance but not sewn sooo #i think im still feeling 1/2 on the grass combo #i like the lightest colour where it is- especially now its surrounded; i think its a nice pop of brightness in a darker section of the quilt #and im kinda thinking the darkest is too dark to go with it?? but there is also some appeal to the two more similar tones #the rest of the quilt is gonna be quite bright so it might be nice to have the whole corner darker?? #soo basically. the top or bottom picture of each section; probably not the middle one #(but again! if u prefer that one id love to hear what ur thinking !!) #absolutely no decision yet on the brown/orange debate. the bigger pictures also way blow out the orange fjrjdhdhe #which honestly could be a factor to consider anyway bc id like to get nice pictures of this! #uhhh so feeback pls <3 #OH ALSO (im sorry omg this is So Much of me) if you wanna see me try a different colour somewhere im 110% down i have a TON of these #fabrics left over. i could probably cut out a piece for every applicable section and still have like half my piece left #nyxtalks #nyx sews #lighthouse painting quilt

Thank you for all your lovely tags ❤️❤️❤️

Oh! Hello!!! Hi hello! I'm not sure how exactly to respond to asks yet because this is my first one ever. I looked over at the little blue dot like ???? What's this?? Envelope?? Mail???? And then I realized it was a message and!! Thank you for the thanks I am always thrilled to know people got to see the tags.

I like to let people know about things and features and I think they should know someone noticed. I have some experience critiquing art irl and it's so much fun to look into the details and intent and how did they do that part, how much time did this section take, what were they thinking feeling imagining seeing?? How did they get from there to here?

And it's epic and wonderful and I love art I love artists I love interacting with people with no expectation of return. I get to shout out my little brain thoughts into this space and maybe they even make it back to the origin and maybe they even get to read the thoughts and maybe they even feel nice after! And anyone else reading the tags might just look a little closer at the piece, appreciate it a little more, find all the little intricacies and details and little spots of personality left behind by the creator that says here I am! Hello! I left this behind! It's me! And you found it!

Enjoy the rest of your day!!
