musing over a priest or something like that

#trigun #trigun maximum #trigun maximum spoilers #nicholas d. wolfwood #vash the stampede #u ever draw something so far outside your usual style that you don’t know what to do about it but like enough to keep it #this piece haunts me it’s like two months old and i don’t know how to deal with it anymore so. begone #ygeah the compositions not centered yeah the values are kinda wonky yeah the textures are messy. but it’s ok. #it is still something to share

I've been losing my goddamn mind over this painting for the past couple of days

#personal.txt #it's just. ugh I can't put into words how it makes me feel #idk the facial expressions of the men and the way the body looks similar to depictions of Christ's death #it's very...soul piercing #I think that's the best way I can describe it #oh and the name of the painting is the anatomy lesson of dr nicolaes tulp #by Rembrandt #also I just love baroque paintings in general #there's something haunting about the style #to me anyway. #I mean even if it's not like. idk something like this or a painting that's focused on a dark subject #theyre still. just. haunting to look at #I'm rambling now but it's fine

venting in tags about gender n shit (long as hell) (u can comment and talk 2 me as always :3)

#okay so i got a really masc haircut about a month ago and i know it's just a haircut but holy shit has it changed EVERYTHING for me #like.... i've always leaned masc except 1) before i came out 2) when i was actively in love with someone who i knew liked femmes #and they always described me as a fem. because that's what i showed her. because i wanted to be with her. #but lowkey whenever i'm in a not-impressing-anyone raw-dogging-life-no-crush era i always resort to a very masc style #like masc being my default and i'd only lean fem to impress people whether it's for love or peer pressure in a specific setting #like ''dressing up'' has always been a form of drag to me. like something i HAD to do to fit in or impress my parents (scott favor core) #but ever since this haircut i've realized... i could just BE masc innately like i really don't have to be womanly if i don't want to #which i usually don't. again i have only ever dressed fem for other people. but it's not even being masc that attracts me on its own #it's like. being masc in a distinctly lesbian way. as in whenever i look in the mirror i don't wanna be like a Guy i wanna be a dyke. #like lesbian as a gender identity too sort of thing honestly. okay i've been waffling but basically i sort of want to call myself butch #but i don't know if i like... can?? if i'm allowed to??? #everyone always says it's MORE than just wearing boy clothes and not wearing makeup and having short hair (which i already do all those) #i mean i've always id'd as genderqueer because it literally just means gender weird and i experience gender in a queer way #what's probably the most telling is that my friends (all queer) CALL me a butch lesbian #like every time they do i feel really internally validated. it's not just my clothes but my personality too ig is what people tell me #i have a higher pitched voice relatively speaking but apparently the way i talk is quote ''very clockably into women'' #which?? gender euphoria asf. my best friend specifically he (gay trans guy) always uses butch to describe me very intuitively #people have also noticed that i ''transitioned'' in all aspects except hormonally. like ppl have commented and noticed my masculinzation #but at the same time i always feel rly haunted by my ex relationships because one wanted me to be more masc #(she's the one who came out as straight and would treat me like a man) which i didn't like and i didn't like playing up being fem either #bc now it feels like she (butch) won't believe me if i called myself butch too bc she remembers me being femme #idk i feel like there's her voice in my head all the time that sees everything i do through her eyes (i'm lowkey still in love) #i feel like even though this comes so naturally to me i must be putting on a performance #even though i've actually read stone butch blues and done research into the history and i truly love and id with the culture like i rly do #that im still just a sad imitation of a butch lesbian and can never really be a part of it because i used to enjoy dressing up sometimes #like it's so stupid but can i still be butch if i wore a dress to prom and i think i looked good in it?? #even though i was envious of my friends who wore suits?? that i used to try goth makeup?? that i liked long dresses?? #that i enjoyed stacked necklaces and rings on every finger??? #and tbh ALL OF THAT CAME FROM A CONCIOUS EFFORT TO FEMINIZE MYSELF IN JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL WHEN I WAS 16 #because omfg it was 2 months before junior prom and i was worried that i was too masc and wanted to get comfortable with being fem

Into the wilderness once again; the meaning of the word 'defunct' unearthed

Robotic gore under cut

#Misty managed to escape Cogs.Inc again while the office district was shut down for power maintenance #(due to a murder underneath the cashbot traintracks; a toon had thrown a cog into the electrical line and blew out the conglomerate's power) #Misty managed to escape the second through the second tunnel again using Spruce's code 141477953 #she got to the middle of nowhere in the woods with Prester's help... fire teleportation #but that's our secret #he gave her the most powerful magic weapon of all so she could defend herself and left her to go out on her own #Misty is terrified out in the woods right now #she misses Chip and Mary and she regrets going alone #but she found out William was working as the molemen manager underneath Cogs.Inc and she needed to leave #her memories of herself and loneliness haunt her but Evils knows more about her inner turmoil methinks #she's currently in Spruce and Chip's old cabin with Spruce and Alton #she got a toon portal from a cat toon who recognized Spruce from a picture they had seen in an abandoned cabin #the cabin is dirty and weather damaged and graffitied by toons and a tree is growing in Spruce's room #but something about it feels quiet and serene but also so lonely #so many pictures broken on the floor of Spruce and Chip #and Chip's old room has scenery paintings in it that match the style of the one he has in his house at Cogs.Inc #Misty pieced together that he must have painted them #lots of old things around #and a trunk in the attic that has some personal things of Spruce's... but that's to be lore dumped another day #imagionary rambles #ttcc #misty monsoon #rainmaker #spruce campbell #treekiller #alton s crow #land acquisition architect #horror #chip revvington #chainsaw consultant

really loving the specific genre of Canadian fiction that is specifically "we went to northern ontario and experienced The Most Heinous Shit and/or had our own trauma reflected back at us through the monstrous"

#there is apparently something about cottage country that just makes people lose their shit huh #me: heh heh gonna read this YA novel about a girl who can see ghosts and another who has a ghosthunting podcast #me once they get to northern ontario and the Uh Oh™ vibes start getting stronger and stonger: 😶 #beginning to suspect we're gonna pivot into The House Itself Will Consume You Both Allegorically And Most Likely Literally style #à la haunting of hill house #canlit #can lit #canadian literature #canadia #chatter #delicious monsters #book review

I feel old bc I didn't like the amazing digital circus.

#like not to be a hater but like. #....i feel so underwhelmed #its so odd how half of the show feels like a lab grown “sure to do numbers on tumblr” by the book experience and then the other half is lik #the weirdest most well animated love letter to late 90s early 2000s computer media. #and how none of those 2 halfs manage to congeal well to me at all and creates something that feels so fanficky in its creation i cant help #but feel disinterested in literally anything it has to say because i know they werent thinking that hard about it. #like i told my friend that you could replace the setting with a haunted house or a deep sea cult and fundamentally you would have the same #plot and charactertization. #nothing felt fundamental to its premise beyond its comedy and “nonspecific glitch monster” and created something that i feel relies purely #on style with zero substance. it feels like keto diet the animation. #and like it sucks bc im struggling to figure out whether or not it was a personal taste issue or if it genuinely didnt work from a writing #level. #and like ig thats a good thing im thinking so hard about it but ngl i probably wont go back to watch any new content they make for it. #ngl from the little ive seen of murder drones its the same thing? so maybe just stylistically glitch's projects arent a thing for me. #thats entirely a possibility.

angel on my shoulder, before starting another book or pdf: 🤨 u gonna finish one of the 10+ you started?

#im almost done with quite a few. thats fhe annoying thing ... i always wanna start smthn new lol #im almost done reading: ice and fire; the way i used to be (not a fan but my sis loves it. so I wanna finish it) and #wait. thats it. everything else im like half way or less through....... #oh wait theres “got parts”.. but idk if i wanna finish that one. idk how i felt abt that book despite osdd #i started hunger games but might drop it. only read it bc my rm was briefly super into it hehe #then started on MANY psychology books. the body keeps the score (so hard to read) and emotional incest syndrome (that book hurts) #started on the haunted self... and a pdf about mycology... #anddddd somatoform dissociation by Nijenhuis #and so many more pdfs where i got like >40 pages in and dropped it #>_< my self discipline and ability to finish something is shite as one can see lol #my aunt offered me books and i couldn't resist. i took some home #maybe i should start bringing books at work and readin them during lunch hehe um #i feel like once i get into that zone its easy to read but the hard part is tapping into that zone rip #that being said i wanna make it my goal to finish ice and fire by dworkin. a gritty book... but her writing style is absolutely beautiful.. #and finish the way i used to be. its taken me .... an ungodly amount of time to be almost done w that one #edit a few hrs later: finished “the way i used to be” yay. FINALLY. #it made me cry :( even if its a clunkily written YA book.. edy is such a good portrayal of self destruction + hypersexuality bc trauma... #idk a better way to word it but even if the book had its flaws... the ending just rlly hits ;-;

[neonacidtrip]

we haven't spoken in a very long time, but i dreamt of you last night, so I couldn't help but think of you. I'm not sure you remember me, but i hope life is treating you well these days. take care.

I'm not sure what to say, but I can promise you I have not forgotten you. My time on Tumblr has been a mess full of hiatuses, I admit, but it will always be a place where I met some very wonderful friends, including you. With 100% honesty, I can say the friends I made here are some of the best friends I have ever had, even though most of us don't talk anymore.

It doesn't matter how often I speak with people, or if we never speak again. I'll always remember you, and I'll always think fondly of you and hope that life is treating you gently and kindly.

I hope you had a nice (or at the very least an okay) dream, and I'm glad to know you still remember me, too, regardless of all else.

Take care, love <3

#it will always amaze me #how the little details in a message can speak such volumes #you dont think of it at the time but the way someone speaks and their writing style really is so unique #im sorry if the message got a little bit general in the middle but i really do mean it #i remember every friend i ever made here. i still check up on a lot of them when i can #its not about talking so much as it is knowing you are all alive and well #and it makes me really sad whenever i stumble across a deactivated account #i miss you though and i hope you are in a better place now #i hope i wasnt annoying in your dream #and i appreciate the bravery it took for you to reach out and check up on me #also i just want to throw out there that i dont find the dream thing weird or anything #some people get creeped out by that but ive actually had three or four people mention i was in their dreams #so its just something im vaguely used to that does not bother me or anything #a guy told me he dreamed we were in a haunted house and i just kept telling him 'its fine dont worry' #and honestly thats pretty accurate. cant complain #anyway~ i hope you are well #i hope you are happy and if you are not happy today i hope you will be happy soon #and however that dream may have gone i hope you have better dreams going forward #beautiful anon #neo answers #ask neo

one day i will stop being afraid of getting hounded for writing something that is less pretty and more just. raw.

#haunted ecosystem #how do i describe what i mean by this. something about the Vibe and taking a less amicable approach to things. #also i might just start. posting shit. who cares if i spoil what technically happens later in the AU. if it gets me motivated then like. #honestly. #also i need to stop being afraid to write sequel/world continuations #i want to write more in the world i set up with asomatous because i think there's more there to explore #also forgive me being pretty bad about updates recently. life hit me with a brick and then i decided playing minecraft was important #(its escapism okay. and fic writing is escapism but also kind of reserved for when im having Emotions. because im shit at that) #i keep telling myself im going to work on prompt fills for some bingo cards i got and then being a coward about it #honestly i might post some anon fics (it'll probably be temporary as anon) and just know people will probably recognize my style #idk im a little afraid of this fandom and i wish i wasnt pvnjdk its probably because im Late to a lot of this and not a stream/VOD watcher #anyways biting this off here #that is not a phrase people use. #its 4:32am give me a break

[astranauticus]

so the overall.. shape and tone of my current project is pretty much set in stone (im SO CLOSE to 50% done you guys) but i was looking through my saved videos folder on bilibili and if im gonna be doing another animatic after this one (honestly pretty likely??? given my. floruitshow obsession that doesnt seem to be going anywhere anytime soon) i REALLY want to attempt something closer to that style of animatic you see a lot on bb that employs more on elaborate editing as opposed to like............... the powerpoint presentation type beat i've got going on now

(nevermind the fact that a lot of the projects that really lodge themselves in my brain were also like collaborations between teams of people with like dedicated editor roles and i still havent fully figured out how to use lightworks. like ive also seen one man projects in this style that turn out absolutely gorgeous so i KNOW it can be done. maybe i'll go figure out if capcut is easier to use lol)

#asto speaks #re: the ProjectTM #the massive team efforts are mostly genshin animatics whaddaya know #perks of fandom big?? i guess??? #that and the other noir's stultifer cantus amv i feel like i bring it up a lot but it truly genuinely haunts me #i just. love love love their art style so much and its *so* beautiful and well edited #i mean obviously im not pulling that off in the foreseeable future but #映剪/capcut is a software i saw recommended by the creator of an animatic for a rather obscure variety show i was OBSESSED with last year #saw that animatic a few days ago and it immediate lodged itself in my brain its SO GOOD. and it was a one man project!! walaoeh #op made a joke about worrying about paying for adobe after effects and realising capcut has everything they need LOL #and their project SUPER well edited and put together so idk i might check it out #im just. not fully sold on the powerpoint presentation style at least not when i do it lol #anyway if i do try something like that it'll probably be for set me free because if i *am* gonna do the robit floruitshow trinity #lets just say im gonna be procrastinating how can i make you stay for last that song is *fucking long* #its like what. 5 minutes? nabei #also i already have a few shots for set me free in mind i just need to stop... thinking about the xiao animatic for the same song lol #that project has like 8 credited artists and 6 animators comparing myself to that is just like #an exercise in pointlessly creating misery in myself

🥳🥳🥳🤯🤯🤯🥳🥳🥳😏😏😏😃😃😃😃😃

STOOOOOOOOOOOKED 😆😆😆😆😆

THEY'RE DOING A CHUCKY HOUSE I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN ON A YEAR THAT THEY DID A CHUCKY HOUSE??!! (though i did go that one year where he took over the Terror Tram lololol that was so much fun ☺️☺️☺️)

Also can we just appreciate them doing not just the Phantom of the Opera, but also Jekyll and Hyde, the Invisible Man, and the Hunchback of Notre Dame??!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Like yes they always do a classic Universal Monsters house, but it's usually some combination of like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Bride of the Monster, the Wolfman, with something like Creature from the Black Lagoon or The Mummy thrown in every now and then.

THESE ARE ALL UNCOMMON ONES THEY'RE DOING THIS YEAR THOUGH, GOOD FOR THEM!! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏

Unrelated note, not super excited about the Terror Tram theme (like these mutated bugs who are people exterminators or something??) but I appreciate that they're doing something different, I'll give them credit for that 👍

#hhn #hhn 2023 #shitpost lol 😆 #can't wait can't wait lolololol 😆😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣 #this is like the opposite of last year lol last year was almost all original houses whereas this year it's almost all #how would you call it #licensed houses?? #pre-existing IPs?? #i actually kinda like their originals though it's kinda cool to see what they come up with #and it's kinda cool since it's not based on a movie/tv show you don't know what's gonna happen lol #but the pre-existing ones are cool too especially if you're a fan of the franchise 🖤🖤🖤 #it's really cool to see one of your favorite movies come to life like that ☺️☺️☺️🖤🖤🖤 #but last year they had one that was like this 1920s hotel that was cursed or haunted or something i forget lol but it was hella cool lol #i kinda like those ones #like the mystery/noir kinda style #knotts berry farm did a really cool one like that awhile back #the premise was this detective was tracking down this serial killer who was basing all their murders off of edgar allan poe stories/poems #while you waited in the queue line to go through the house they were playing these true crime documentary-style videos about the murders #it was really cool they did a lil extra like that it added to the ambiance lol 😆 #also i know it's doubtful but i reeeally hope they do some sort of trick/special effect/animatronic for the Invisible Man #and not just #y'know #some dude in a trench coat and hat with a bunch of bandages on his face :/ #like can you imagine if you see that and then this dude pulls off the bandages and then there's just *nothing there* 🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱 #they're not gonna do that though 😮‍💨 but it's still cool that he's being included in the big show lololol 👍👍👍😤😤😤👍👍👍

Any thoughts on Rio's neighbor and her bebeanied gf???

Ooh! So I don't have a huge amount of thoughts about rio's neighbour (other than decent decor) who we (assumedly? 👀) never meet, but I'm obsessed with the gf!

The way riostopher in 3b is such an afterthought of a prospect for Beth to her is v amusing 😂 I choose to believe she thinks him EXTREMELY dull. Consider that she's a person hanging out inside wearing a beanie, and he's the patron idiot of hat choices, and yet he's still barely registered to her!! Outstanding writing/costuming choice 👌

PLUS the way that she's like 🤷🏼‍♀️😇 oh I don't even know if the building has a super, this is my gf's place, I'm just hanging out here by myself modelling my hats, BUT I can name everyone in the building yes and I CAN advise you on how best to break in to bits of it 😈 ddfghjjj like WHAT!

Obsessed with the level of chaos she's bringing, and how unfazed she is by Beth's story, and now in fact I'm wondering if SHE was also on a break in mission for her own random stalking side quest which Beth interrupted?! 👀 Maybe the gf was actually idk Diane or gale or ooh maybe that place is Judith's pied-à-terre?! 👀👀👀👀👀👀

#Like idk that if some rando turned up begging for intel on how to get into my ~neighbour's place I'd tell them?! 🤯😅😂 #I mean tbf I don't think I'd be much help we don't have fire escapes 😨 #(I'm more worried about my haunted plumbing flooding me anyway 😨😭👻) #And I'd probs assume they were a debt collector or something and wouldn't have answered in the first place #But yea she's way too eager to help sftgghjjhjj #Most logical explanation is she's rifling through her ~gf's place for some mcguffin of her own #And beth interrupted so she tried to style it out all calm and sweet #NAILED IT #Obsessed with the idea of rio & Judith as frenemy neighbours omg 😂😂😂 #📀📀📀 #Nbc good girls #TV #Hats! #Also I wanna see this Brian she immediately conclusion jumped to! 👀👀👀👀 #And how many damn brad brians were in this show?! More than Kevins?! Why are there only about 4 names in total???! #Also ty! 🥰

dont remember if i ever was this angry at anyone before

#keep thinking abt [redacted] #wack. tbh #like embarrassing idgaf abt this guy why is he still on my mind. #this is some ego feeding shit like its cool to hate and be angry or something? #its just that i think he should be corrected. but the system is not in agreement on this. #guy was like my best friend for a couple months never even asked abt the system lol n theyr like looking out for him #or i guess mby theyre looking out for me/us. so as to not go to jail/be haunted by our choices our whole lives. #whatever #i know how to make it stop it is just taking time and effort. because its like 1. kind of addictive so i keep accidentaly/habitually reinfo #cing it and 2. the other option is to face that im hurt and i cant do shit about it realy other than ... LeArN from it or some shit #like learn what? i already went full schizoid over this. #maybe i dont need to learn shit lol maybe i already did it :) #so just the pain then. and overcoming the hate habit. and like just letting it go and forgetting abt it #but the thing is that he needs to die i think. #i want to kill kill kill kill him so bad. #i hope hes not reading this in case i ask to meet him again sometime. for business. #maybe thats why its still on my mind #because im unwilling to let go of the idea that we could help eachother if i wasnt so stupid hurt over some little thing (the nasty shit he #pulled that hurt me lol) like bro. bro. im not going to just get over it. like thts rly the thing. 3-5 yrs ago i would have totally just #elected to get over it and make up or smth like that. #and im v unwilling to do that now while lots of my brain architecture is still built for that interaction style. #so when im thinking kill kill kill kill im going to [redacted as fuck im not putting that shit online this is already bad enough] mby im #actually killing the mental structures that make me a target for abuse :))))))))) #all is good in the world i love myself and my life. and absolutely no one else. except my mom and my friends and that one other guy who als #might read my blog but i really doubt it bc he doesnt evenrly ask me how im doing or anything . its cool though. for now.

rating ways to advertise the locked tomb

"lesbian necromancers in space": 5/10. technically true, except that gideon isn't a necromancer and for the most part they aren't in space. can also be tonally misleading; implies a fun space opera adventure and fails to mention the impending emotional devastation. that being said it is iconic and (mostly) effective

"murder mystery in a haunted gothic castle": 8/10. MUCH better at capturing the tone and plot of the first book, but still a little off. imagine picking up the book because of this blurb and then watching gideon nav make a mean girls reference in the first 20 pages. the whiplash could kill you

"a locked tomb mystery": 5/10. nondescriptive and a little misleading, but i can't give this any lower than a 5 because the pun is very good. gideon would love this one and that should count for something

"gay goth among us": 10/10. i'm not even going to pretend like this one doesn't nail it. try and argue against this. you can't. captures the murders, the space-y setting, the queer characters, the tone and aesthetic, AND the contemporary humor. chef's kiss

"enemies to lovers 'i hate everyone but you' slow burn": 1/10. true if you squint. the relationship between gideon and harrow would make booktok weep

"catholic homestuck": 9/10. this means nothing and explains everything

this tweet by tamsyn muir:

[Image ID: A tweet by "tamsyn should be writing" @tazmuir: "sure, I edited from 12 o'clock to 4.30, but how much of that time did I spend on the discovery that the basis of my novel is 'what if these two were... teenage girls'", followed by an image of Skeletor and He-Man. /end ID]

10/10. conveys the pop culture savvy of the series, the complex dynamic between the main characters, and the humor of the writing style all at once. also makes me laugh every time i think about it
