yves is soooo cute….. she will be experiencing catastrophic amount of horrors and despair later <3

#i gave her a facial scar I think it’s fitting esp with the kressa stuff…! #in my head she looks more messy… like lipstick smudged all over her mouth + chin … red tear stains and tattoos smeared on her cheeks #also her hair is def more choppy. like it was up to her knees before now it’s brushing her shoulders but it looks like someone hacked it #off with a knife and there’s some pieces that are still long but currently it is choppy and unkempt #and the white roots is growing too..! the black is just a dye #I really want to draw post crash yves bc she’s waking around wearing rags and in barefoot #while looking like she got a really bad hungover 😭 I’m wondering why they teamed up with her #I also like the idea that it’s in the second night that she looks at her reflection again #and she realised she had forgotten what she looked like. and now looking at her reflection she looks like a mess and there’s clearly #history there but she doesn’t know if she should uncover it or not. (like why does she have tears tattooed on her face???) #and she tries to clean herself up and make herself look more presentable but she still looks really rough lol #she gets more cleaner gradually… but post crash yves… it’s so bad for her #shut up about bg3. #bg3

(In continuation of this post)

Elland looked at the newt on top of Deek's head and chuckled, his eyes with a bit of a mischievous squint to them. "You know, @ask-deek, I might just have something for your hard work." The Hufflepuff sat down at one of the tables, lute to his chest, quill and paper on the table as he began writing something, humming to himself, plucking some chords, and then going back to writing. You are not sure that anything you can say at this moment can break him out of the spell of creativity. In about 20 minutes Elland calls out Deek's name, spinning toward him on the chair with a grin on his face, clearly proud of whatever it is he was about to play for you.

[You obviously hear a male voice singing! Text below]

Deek has got himself a newt D When he was playing Elrond's flute. G He tried to blow some air from it. A Deek's no musician, he'd admit. D

But what got out was a "Toot" D As newt came flying from that flute. G His little snout, oh, so cute! A Perhaps he is Deek's greatest loot. D

I have to thank you for The Boot G And finding me my precious lute. A But the one thing I find most cute G Is that Deek has got a newt! A (D-G-D)

#Deek #Elland #What colour is the newt! #[Hope you don't mind I did a separate post for this] #[Leaving you all with the chords as well if you ever want to play it] #[Poor Elrond whoever he is] #[If only I had that AI that can change my voice to male voice] #[I just want to rp properly] #[I gave up with the british accent too] #[I can do it when I speak since I do teach English as a second language] #[But singing n having rerecorded it 30 times cause im not a pro n i kept messing up the chords I think accent is the least of my problems] #[Idk if you guys picked up on the rhymes and repeat patterns and asdfasdfsf I'll shut up]

#bsd #art #digital art #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #i don't know if he's all that recognizable but oh well. it's kōsuke guys. just messed around with his design a bit #he existed for a mere 40 seconds but he's just a little guy. a rascal. a menace. i love him. #i try to draw him happy but it still feels so bittersweet the dark era really broke me #i might draw his siblings too but idk. this was literally just supposed to be a brush test that i got carried away with #scythestuff #i gave him moles similar to the ones i give ango and oda. bc yknow. theyre his dads #and brown eyes bc it's cute. and goggles bc he upgraded from the sunglasses shut up stop questioning it #i kept his color palette mostly the same at least #i don't know why i expect people to recognize a background character with three lines especially when i change the design akdjakndjs #anyway just. look at him. please

[imwritesometimes]

trying to find fic to read last night for the first time in a long time like "they would not fucking talk like that" "they would not fucking communicate like that" "he would not fucking say that" "they would never fucking have this conversation so casually and easily" and I was like hmmmm maybe I should just write more....

#this is gonna be the most conceited thing I've ever said but I just gave up and went back to reading my own fic #and I was like OH THIS IS REALLY GOOD HOT DAMN #and I know like it's MY OWN fic so of course I like it but idk just objectively I feel like I do a pretty good job with characterization #and making dialogue feel authentic? I mean I have a couple fics where I will admit #I feel my characterization isn't AS strong but for certain blorbos like #it's second nature #and I just cannot with all the therapy speak for characters who are fucking messes #erin explains it all #I will never say what fandom this is for

[svnny-day]

ughhhh, today was a day. hopefully, when I wake, the morrow will be kinder..

#atleast I have some art motivation and ideas! #also I { finally } finished one of my dinosaur designs. a kinda messed up like.. mutated dinosaur { hopefully with enough body horror- #-elements } !! it's the second design I made.. since the first one got scrapped since it wasn't well thought out.. tossed together and- #-failed because I didn't feel the need to keep working on it. luckily.. the second one is way better! idk if I'll post it but I'm actually- #-pretty damn proud of it!! I also like the unique name I gave em! #I would also explain how today went.. but today was mainly just. stressful and I don't really make posts involving my hardships unless it's #-really needed. with luck.. I'll be able to rest and draw tomorrow!

[chaotic-aro-incarnate]

Watching The Director Who Buys Me Dinner and I know that it will never happen and it would probably be very messy and shit but I'm now obsessed with the idea of the disaster of Yudam x Dongbaek x Dennis. Like most unnecessarily complicated polycule I'm obsessed.

Like it's idol/fan, ceo/idol, boss/secretary, man cursed to live 300 years/his reincarnated lover, guy who died 300 years ago and reincarnated/guy who killed him in his past life, guy who was cursed after his lover died/guy who killed his lover in a past life. All at once. It's insane I wish Korea would have the balls to give me messy throuple content like this.

#like yeah tinted with you gave me some of that ot3 content with time travel and reincarnation but that was only implied in the end #and this.... this would be such a complicated mess it would be amazing lol #I just finished binging the current 8 episodes so I have no idea what the fandom stance on dennis is #but as someome who always enda up falling for the second male lead I just want to say that he deserves better and a boyfriend #the director who buys me dinner #korean bl

kirishima pulls out and his dick follows 5 minutes later

kirishima thinks he pulls out and then falls asleep still inside of you.

you could wake him up with an elbow to the chest... or you could just expel him yourself and let the cool breeze that comes once you get up to pee do the trick on it's own.

#kirishima #LMFAOOO reading this literally gave me glaucoma #no im just kidding but i still dont know what it means #screaming tho #whenever kiri f*cks u after work he's going to sleep literally 2 seconds after u both come #he'll drift off while you're recovering and you have to slap him awake #hes always like #sadjkfakhsdj wah??? oh. sorry baby #and then he'll like spread your whole *ss open to unslot his hips #or you wont bother him and you'll get up yourself and leaving bed will make him whine because suddenly... he's chilly #its worse in the winter too he's like. scrambling 'i'm so codddddddddddddddd come back' but his eyes are still closed and he's still #covered in mess #or he's just... five more minutes inside please #doesn't even move #skdjflaksdjkf why is he... #why is THIS... so ............. *clenches fist* #UGH I LOVE HIM #ask #anon #caitie things

[quirkle2]

OBSESSED with how you draw sans,,, he's so lovely and shaped!!!! and the expressions are beautiful, and that art has the Quirkle Thing where it's all soft and warm and like a visual hug. and the details are beautiful, you've converted me to the "sans has reading glasses" agenda and I'm stoked about it. anyway I love you, I love your art, I hope 2023 is gentle to you!

CRIES???? oh mgygod thank you,,, it's rly fun seein what aspects of sans meld w my style and which ones dont. the more cartoony facial structure lets me play around w it a lil bit and i can mess w clothing hanging off thin bones instead of muscles n skin ! so so glad u like it im always worried abt people not likin non-lu art of mine GVEYIAV

#qktalks #anon #CAN I JUST . im so sorry i never shut up but like #i now see the fun in trying new things in my art instead of cornering myself in a box being afraid of branching out #when i was younger all i did was draw wolves and dogs. never humans. if i had never branched out i wouldn't be here ! #and for a while i refused to use color in my art cuz it would ''ruin'' it. now i can't seem to post smth colorless at all #when i started drawing ledge and wars and Nobody else i was afraid to try the other boys #and before that initial sans post from the other day i was afraid to try n draw sans again in case i messed it up and it sucked #but it ended up being one of my fav pieces of this year #and also sans' face in the sketch of that piece ?? it's Completely different from the final product #i messed around for quite a while until i found out what worked w my style and what didn't #when i was younger i wouldve gotten discouraged and quit by the second attempt #but i guess i've learned to have patience and trust the process ?? #sorry im talkin sm abt Myself that's gross but like . im just giddy abt Getting Better yaknow #the improvement is there!!!! i can see it!!! that'sso fucking wild #if only 14-year-old me could know . she gave up drawing for a whole year #if she knew what she could do in a couple of years she never woulda quit #anyway enough of that SANS WITH READING GLASSES WOOOOOOOOO #adore the idea of it #his glasses don't have the temples on them bc there's . no ear to rest them on #they just stay there with a lil sprinkle of magic #i hope 2023 is gentle to u as well anon!!! tysm ur so so sweet

[puppys-rhythm-heaven]

can't wait for when rhythm heaven 5 eventually comes out n i have like. who knows how many new games to memorize the timing for-

#puppy rambles #rhythm hell #gonna be fun to like. suck at the practices for five minutes or some shit #wait for the rhythm help display. i hope they keep the rhythm help display #i just remembered when i first played lockstep in megamix n failed at the practice for like five minutes #(i didn't understand the timing for the beat switches) #n was like ''where's the rhythm help display :((( i need it'' #it doesn't show up for any games in heaven world. or any shop games #also idk why i didn't understand the beat switches it's so easy klsdfjsfdklfskdjdf- #i didn't understand the part where you have to input like. twice in the same beat or whatever #didn't understand that until watching custom remixes kldfskdfsjflsd- #that's how it clicked. i saw playalong inputs for lockstep in a custom remix n was like ''ohhhhhhh'' #n look at me now. i'm good at lockstep #... ignore the fact that i can't perfect lockstep 2 for some reason #i messed up two perfects on the second beat switch (back to the onbeat/straight tempo/whatever) #n then i gave up because the dread i feel when i hear the perfect breaking noise isn't worth it- #i have too much anxiety to go for perfects- #... anyways-

[un-pearable]

i am the first to admit my style is still very work in progress especially with regard to giving characters unique and distinguishing traits in a sufficiently cartoony manner. but i think it’s imperative to know nya and kai share the same face shape just scaled differently <3

#wu and garmadon do too… #i messed up in the comic only nya and kai and lloyd were supposed to have the ahoge-y thing and then in s2 after bonding w everyone and his #hair grows out a bit he gains a second <3 but then oops i gave them to everyone except zane bc it was cute. rip. the constant war #btwn unique designs. the shit i can actually remember. and cuteness #also it just helps me orient the head and hairstyle to be honest

[thatscarletflycatcher]

So, guys, how do you deal with contacting people when your first, deep, gut reaction to that people is wanting to scream on their face, which would be extremely counterproductive to the precise goal you mean to achieve by reaching out?

#So yes there's a full story behind this post #let's just say that I thought I was done coursing for my second degree 4 years ago #and I went to talk with my thesis advisor two months ago to get things back on track #gave him a way out because he's the dean of the school now and I understand he has more obligations #he refused #He told me to send him a project by the end of the week #I did #and then somehow administration found that I still owe two whole courses that were mandatory for my career #Which my advisor never mentioned in all the times we talked about my yearly plans #and he's now MiA #ignored my email #ignored my texts #so I'm 99% certain he wants ME to solve the whole mess HE created #And by solve I mean go and humiliate myself to the director of the degree and sign up for those two courses and all that jazz #And then he'll act like nothing happened #and suddenly remember to reply to my messages #and that makes me so angry #And I cannot even ask for a new advisor because... #the person that asigns advisors is the dean aka him! #And I have been feeling this anger since then and it's not going away #I'm frustrated at these barriers and frustrated at the prospect of not finishing this degree #And very very wary of my ability to work under the tutelage of someone I can no longer trust #It's a mess and I don't see a way out of it and it's running me mad #so if you have any sort of advice I'll listen to it #I'm desperate

mojo dojo casa house

Howdy folks! Sorry for the delay, I was, uhhhh covering the Tour de France. Anyway, I'm back in Chicago which means this blog has returned to the Chicago suburbs. I'm sure you've all seen Barbie at this point so this 2019 not-so-dream house will come as a pleasant (?) surprise.

Yeah. So this $2.4 million, 7 bed, 8.5+ bath house is over 15,000 square feet and let me be frank: that square footage is not allocated in any kind of efficient or rational manner. It's just kind of there, like a suburban Ramada Inn banquet hall. You think that by reading this you are prepared for this, but no, you are not.

Scale (especially the human one) is unfathomable to the people who built this house. They must have some kind of rare spatial reasoning problem where they perceive themselves to be the size of at least a sedan, maybe a small aircraft. Also as you can see they only know of the existence of a single color.

Ok, but if you were eating a single bowl of cereal alone where would you sit? Personally I am a head of the table type person but I understand that others might be more discreet.

It is undeniable that they put the "great" in great room. You could race bicycles in here. Do roller derby. If you gave this space to three anarchists you would have a functioning bookshop and small press in about a week.

The island bit is so funny. It's literally so far away it's hard to get them in the same image. It is the most functionally useless space ever. You need to walk half a mile to get from the island to the sink or stove.

Of course, every McMansion has a room just for television (if not more than one room) and yet this house fails even to execute that in a way that matters. Honestly impressive.

The rug placement here is physical comedy. Like, they know they messed up.

Bling had a weird second incarnation in the 2010s HomeGoods scene. Few talk about this.

Honestly I think they should have scrapped all of this and built a bowling alley or maybe a hockey rink. Basketball court. A space this grand is wasted on sports of the table variety.

You would also think that seeing the rear exterior of this house would help to rationalize how it's planned but:

Not really.

Anyways, thanks for coming along for another edition of McMansion Hell. I'll be back to regular posting schedule now that the summer is over so keep your eyes peeled for more of the greatest houses to ever exist. Be sure to check the Patreon for today's bonus posts.

Also P.S. - I'm the architecture critic for The Nation now, so check that out, too!
