I’ve remembered that colors exist

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #back to black and white for me #just wanted to play with colors and Leo got to be my guinea pig #genuinely I just kept putting layers on top of each other until I was like hm okay #this is why I stick with greyscale 😭 #too indecisive for color #turtle art tag #the trans implication was for once accidental but my subconscious is RIGHT actually- #he wears the colors well what can I say #anyway you know it’s not me without tags so here we go #the bros represent the four different times of day SO well #Mikey is Dawn Leo is Day Raph is Dusk and Donnie is Night #you can also argue switching Mikey and Leo around too but I like Leo as day simple bc his blue and stripes work with it #blue for clear blue skies #red stripes for dusk yellow for dawn #‘where are his swords’ in the void #man I wanna draw Leo in blue pink and white more often those really are his colors tbh #not JUST for my trans leo agenda either #on that note Mikey would rock fuchsia #and splash colors like that kickass jacket he had in CDMtT #Donnie would do great in lilacs or silvers #and Raph would kill it in gold #tan too would be so pretty on him and paired with gold? 👌👌👌 #not me wanting to draw fashion for them 😭 #on a further note April in emerald greennnnn #midnight blue or marigold for her too would be gorgeous #I could go on all day tbh

#I SAY PERSONAL BC ITS MY OWN SPIN ON IT. NOT CHIPPERS CANON UNLESS THEY DECIDE TO OR NOT YOU HEAR ME /LH #I made a banner and everything this time. PLWEASE send them your questions not me JAJFHDSF #I thought it would be cool if macaque has two separate forms as a shadow and inside a mindscape. like I wanted his shadow form to reflect #him in his prime and then the mindscape form as what he looked like when he died. or a more vulnerable state at least #based on LBD appearing to MK as the ivory lady when she died in the S3 special. I don’t know exactly what it was but my first thought seein #the white void was she was appearing to MK in his mindscape to talk to him. so I built on that #I wanted to give him a more ‘Smokey’ look as a shadow just based on how he manipulates them in the show like in shadow play. I hope this #makes it look cool and immaterial. and then his mindscape form would be more battered up and tangible #the last couple images are chippers ideas though since they said the monkeys are drawn to MK when macaque is possessing him lol #and the fact that macaque doesn’t have any senses unless he’s possessing someone + literally sniffing out wukong in the scroll 🤨📸 #I also have a vivid image of macaque moving from the mindscape to physical form like umm. kind of like when he passes the boundary between #physical and spirit/mind(?) it’s like the shadow covers him like ink. or pulling Saran Wrap over your face and it clings to your skin #so it kind of makes the shadow seem like a sort of shell or covering.. and I love the idea of MK meeting macaque in the mindscape for the #first time too. like the moment mac rescues him from LBD and MK sees him all battered and tired looking brooooooo #I’m not even sure if that would count as a mindscape but it rattles around in my brain like loose marbles #god I fucking love this au. gives me imagination fuel swear to god #my art #doodles #lmk #Lego Monkie kid #Monkie kid #lmk au #re-bound!au #rebound au #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #lmk macaque #lmk six eared macaque #lmk mk #lmk xiaotian

I have read Fellowship of the Ring more times than I have cared to keep count and every time I read Boromir’s, well, possession for lack of a better word, I have read it in fear, in discomfort, in horror, indifferently.

This was, I think, the first time I read it in pity. I looked at all the plans Boromir was making, how he would save his beloved city, how obstinate he was in his belief that the men of Minas Tirith would not be corrupted when wielding the Ring against Sauron —and I felt sad. He’s waving his hands and hollering and part of him is desperate just for the Ring, of course he is, he’s been traveling beside it with no hope for months, but he’s also desperate for hope. He’s desperate for a chance to save his people, save his brother, save his city.

Moreover, every time he calls out the Elves or the Wizards, you have to remember that he doesn’t know them. All he knows is that he traveled almost a full year to get their advice and they send him on, in his eyes, a hopeless venture. The one hope they give him is Aragorn, who promises to return and help save Minas Tirith with him, but even that all changes once Gandalf dies. They come to Lothlorien and of course it’s a welcome break, but they cannot, or maybe in Boromir’s eyes will not, help his people. And once they leave, Aragorn assumes his role as leader of the Fellowship in Gandalf’s stead more permanently and suddenly even that one, brief, uncertain hope of his is gone. Aragorn will follow Frodo. And it’s almost certain that Frodo will not go to Minas Tirith.

So is it any wonder, really, that tired, desperate, hopeless Boromir, out of his realm, out of his depth, already hanging by a thread when he joins the Fellowship and having been gnawed on by the Ring for months upon months afterwards, finally snaps once it’s clear that he will have to return home empty-handed and almost certain that somewhere far away Sauron is capturing the Ring and killing the companions that he had bonded with? Of course part of the Ring is making him lust for power, but it’s also his only “reliable” (in his mind) source of hope left to save his city.

And so I read Boromir’s (intelligent and thought out, mind you) raving and I don’t feel scared for Frodo, not after reading it so many times and knowing what ultimately happens, but sorrow for Boromir.

#hey yeah sorry if I keep repeating myself in this #I can just never seem to find the right words to properly express what I want to say #So I ramble on until I think I’ve thoroughly covered it #So sorry about that #but also friendly reminder that Boromir is an intelligent military leader #Whose fatal flaw was deeply loving his city a bit too much #And an inability to accept hope after so long being denied it #I’ll probably make a separate post after I read his death on his relationship with hope and how Aragorn “Estel” Ranger factors into that #but for rn it’s sad Boromir hours :/ #the lord of the rings #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #just yelling into the void #boromir #the fellowship of the ring #minas tirith #aragorn #gandalf #frodo baggins #elves #the ring

honestly I think alhaitham would be over the moon if kaveh proposed to him because then he could brag how the light of kshahrewar asked him, a feeble scholar, to marry.

#i just imagine him bragging that the light of kshahrewar chose him. the lowly scribe. its such an honor #alhaitham would wear his ring like a necklace to show off and make sure everyone could see it #'whats that around my neck? its my wedding ring. kaveh gave it to me. yes the light of kshahrewar proposed to me and wanted to marry me' #also he would be happy about the proposal because he knows that kaveh wanted it and he didn't say yes out of guilt or somethin #haikaveh #kavetham #kaveh #alhaitham #bones screams into the void

link’s house in hateno village never fails to make me overly emotional bc wtf do you mean there’s an apple tree and a stable, and just down the path there’s a little pond to fish in??

#i rlly love this house man #it’s just so quaint and nice #like yeah let him be calm. let him have a nice little home in a nice little town. #let him live just a few minutes away from purah #let him have his apple tree #the thought of link sitting down everyday and having a meal while the beloved weapons of his fallen friends surround him is too much for me #and don’t even get me started on how it’s implied/canon that that was his childhood home #and he saved it. he saved his home. he saved a part of his past. #screaming into the void #do you think zelda saw the house and was like ‘link. link omg’ bc maybe She knew it was his old home #maybe my emotional attachment to the house in hateno village says something abt me #botw #breath of the wild #botw link #link botw #loz #legend of zelda breath of the wild #legend of zelda

#age is confusing when you are dead. #also can wwx even remove his clothes. for lwj's sake we can say yes. they disappear into the ghost void #they can have their spooky ghost sex later or whatever. except LOOK AT HIM.. lwj would get so sad all over again #he can't keep anything that wasn't already on his body though #digital #mdzs #mo xuanyu #wei wuxian #ghostdadxian au #mo dao zu shi #OH YEAH.

There’s something so fascinating about Cecil winning the tumblr sexyman poll when he for the most part doesn’t have a canonical appearance, he truly is the ultimate sexyman because he’s everyone, he’s no one, he’s whoever the listener imagines him to be, so different, and yet recognizable each time, you look at him across all his designs and interpretations and you just know. You just know.

#cecilsweep #Cecil Palmer #tumblr sexyman poll #wtnv #welcome to night vale #not writing #he’s got a third eye he’s got tentacles he’s got white hair and pronouns #he’s wearing a dashing suit/he’s wearing the WORST outfit known to man #he’s not even human/he’s just some guy #he’s got tattoos he’s in a unitard he’s a faceless void #HE IS HOLDING A CAT #the true mark of his sexiness is how he’s a good dad husband and friend #and a dork #also his voice is made of the sounds of calming waves #saying this as if other tumblr sexymen were held back by canon appearance #they sexymanified a triangle guys

Obito dirty basement metal band au!!

For @obito-week 2024 and heavily inspired by @badninken 's moldy basement metal au

#i got carried away with the background at some point but it was more fun than I thought! #obito week 2024 #first time I really made any sort of more elaborate background and I'm happy this grimey mf doesn't have to stand in a monochrome void #obito uchiha #naruto #naruto fanart #there is mold on the wall named zetsu for sure #also Obito says he wear the mcr shirt as a joke because he is “too trve kvlt” and “too metal” to be listening to this emo shit #but secretly mcr is his first love and the band that got him into music but no one is allowed to know (everyone knows)

[charlataninred]

Once again thinking of some of wording in HNOC

“the girl Morgause grew into a sharp young man who chose his name as Mordred.”

“for nothing went to waste among the Saxons.”

“We’ll walk beneath the rusted sky”

#just… they say so much in so few words #how Jonny says ‘who chose his name as mordred’ makes me feral #and ‘we’ll walk beneath a rusted sky’ has so much optimism in it #plus the combination of the literal rusted sky and the metaphor of sunrise (which can have a rusty color) #meaning hope #aegis talks to the void #the mechanisms

This voting period really just feels like im watching a bunch of people force a gay man back in the closet

I know thats not people's intentions but literally how else is he going to take this guilty vote. "I just don't want him to think his lying was okay" he doesn't! And he's not going to think that! He's actively trying to stop lying! All guiltying him will do is tell him he should have kept lying and continuing his relationship!!

"I just want him to have some kind of consequence for what he's done" Was Hinako literally dying not enough??? Sure, he didn't love her, but he still LIKED her. They were friends, they lived together, he married her because he WANTED to love her! He is literally drowning in guilt because of her death, I think he's had enough consequences by now. He might not be wearing his ring anymore, but he still carries it with him, he is very clearly still grieving her death.

"Innocent votes have no effect on him" Yes they will!! It didn't do anything last time because we forgave him for the wrong reasons and because he absolutely hates himself. Assuming we're right about him being gay, which I'm pretty confident we are, having his 'true' self validated rather than his fake one will 100% have a bigger effect on him this time. Guiltying him will only make his self-hate worse and show him that only his false self is forgivable, so he should keep lying to be accepted.

I know most people's intentions are not to make him keep lying, but regardless of whatever intention you have, it doesn't matter how you want him to take it, you can not ignore how he will actually take it.

#milgram #kazui mukuhara #this was just meant to be a mini-rant but it turned semi serious so im maintagging :< #ik im just shouting into the void at this point but watching his vote go down is stressing me out;; #as always feel free to tell me im wrong ♡ i would love to talk to someone who wants to guilty him #ive seen a few ppl mention the album art as a reason to guilty him as well #i dont have too much to say on that but milgram also pushed us to forgive kotoko and look how that went #just because they're potentially trying to push us to guilty him doesn't mean thats the 'correct' option

The thing about how sam’s arc in season 4 is often discussed is that people simultaneously acknowledge that the angels are bad, while claiming Sam is an idiot for rebelling against them.

like I have listened through three (3) rewatch podcasts and they always seem to fall into this loop of going ‘hey the angels are Obviously up to no good’ while also going ‘Sam is really stupid. Why would he trust a demon when literal angels are telling him to stop’

idk man. Maybe bc the angels are Obviously up to no good????

#And it’s a really good arc so it’s got more going on #BUT #y’all can’t recognize that the angels are being shady as fuck and offering awful solutions #while SIMULTANEOUSLY saying that Sam should trust them implicitly #and yes there’s a lot of like very personal religious rebellion that’s going on with Sam that IS a bit .. petulant isn’t the right word #but he’s reacting to a /personal/ slight bc angels were supposed to be his hope and they are Dicks #He /was/ blinded by that #but also keep in mind that the first time sam met the angels they were proposing that they kill 1k+ people #And then there’s the flip side of this #which is that Sam gets to the point where he accepts that he’s evil. That what he’s doing is turning him into a monster. #but that doesn’t matter. /he/ doesn’t matter. So long as it saves the world #I mean the angels obviously aren’t trying too hard #lea speaks #sorry I keep dragging up dumb shit abt spn #idk I just want to get it out and this is a nice void to do so

calling someone 'ugly hot' is just a way of negating attraction to a person whose features deviate from currently accepted norms of conventional beauty. this betrays the weird embarrassment some people derive from it.

in other words, the person I heard call walton goggins 'ugly hot' is a coward, unlike the tumblr freaklovers who unabashedly adore their people. it has everything to do with modern capitalist-driven standards, so fuck 'em. embrace the wet sparkly eyes and gummy smile and receding hairline, god damn it!

#you're allowed to find such quirks attractive #and let's not pretend he hasn't got a host of traditionally attractive features either #I honestly think sooo much of it is to do with hair #half the time 'ugly hot' is just a traditionally attractive guy with thinning hair or a receding hairline (or who just looks his age) #why the deep discomfort with it? balding is normal and (generally) pretty masculine! dare I say it can even be attractive? #it's the 'stay young and smooth and perfect' of it all #the uh 'don't pull these expressions or you'll cause wrinkles' #a blight upon society I tell ye #walton goggins #boyd crowder #cooper howard #rez chats up the void

Hi, I'm bad at talking to people, especially online, but I make comics and maybe it'd be nice to read what you people think, so I'm putting myself in the void? Will it echo or will it engulf me and regurgitate silence?

cw: dad! osamu

osamu’s baby memorizes onigiri miya’s phone number before even learning how to write his own name. he likes to call his dad when nana miya is busy hanging up the laundry outside.

obviously, phone calls at onigiri miya are of the norm. the working class on a limited lunch like to place an order ahead and families cater. there’s complaints and compliments but when the little boss calls, the atmosphere changes.

the phone is exchanged between hands, everyone screaming a hey, little boss into the speaker, smiles on their faces from the babe’s infectious giggles. osamu has to fight through the crowd, yell at everyone to get back to work so he can have a chance to speak to his son.

they all relent, knowing all too well with the excited grin on osamu’s face that there’s no bite in his tone. he’s just a father who loves his son and is so clearly loved back.

“here ya go, big boss,” someone says while handing him the phone. the nickname is accepted graciously. he wouldn’t be big boss without a little one.

and the one on the phone loves it because he loves his dad so much. he has no clue what boss means, only knows that when someone says it, he’s picturing his father in an apron and black cap, and smells of green onions and sesame and rice, but that’s him. he’s exactly like dad, just littler.

“hey, little man,” osamu says as he steps back into the alleyway behind his restaurant. he wipes his brow, an exhale escaping him.

and his son laughs hysterically on the line. his employees always get him so riled up and the kid is saying hi repeatedly in multiple octaves, out of breath just like he. the cook can only imagine his kid running through the living room he and atsumu used to play in.

work is hard. it doesn’t get any easier but osamu doesn’t mind if the smallest breaks he can fit in sound like this.

“ya dancing over there?”

“no! i’m killing monsters!”

osamu can’t help but laugh at the gremlin noise, “wow, ya so brave. where’s granny? is she helping ya?”

“nana’s outside.”

of course osamu knew that. or else he wouldn’t be having this conversation right now.

“maybe ya should check on her. there might be monsters outside too.”

there’s a dramatic gasp on the line as if osamu’s said the most outstanding thing in the world. his son is too cute.

“okay!”

“alright. i’ll see ya soon, okay? make sure ya give the phone back to granny, alright?”

“okay!” he’s already running but before he hangs up, the kid makes sure to shout into the phone, “love you, big boss!”

osamu’s heart sings.

“love ya too, little boss.”
