#this is a fucking anime reference

[miraculouslumination]

"But AI makes art more accessible to disabled people!" your AI schlop is clogging the search results and making it actively MUCH MORE DIFFICULT for ANY artist to find a real reference for their project

#Jean rambles #Fuck AI #Fuck the people who support this shit #As a furry artist with disabilities I shudder at the thought of having to look up reference images for any animals now #All because some of y'all want the most painstakingly boring and soulless art NOW #AI art is the frozen Walmart brand breakfast sandwiches of the art world

rewatched bsd w my friend seeing it for the first time and the nostalgia of seeing these two together again hit me like a bus

#literally mom and dad of the agency #dazai and kunikida protect yokohama but more importantly they also protect atsushi #funny story but we were watching in sub and the translations were wack bc when i watched dazai refers to kunikida as his colleague #but in the version we were watching he just called him partner w/o any context it was so fucking funny😭 #bro rly just pointed to a random man across the river and was like “oh that's my partner btw!! we can use his money to treat you to dinner! #my bestie made me pause the show and was like “????partner. are they married??? either way it's cute that there's mlm rep in this anime🥺” #i was genuinely holding back tears #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #kunikida doppo #doppo kunikida #kunikidazai #knkdz #lotus draws #SRY FOR THE UNGODLY HR IM POSTING AT I DIDNT WANT TO LOSE THE MOTIVATION I SUDDENLY GOT AFTER WATCHING THE FIRST FEW EPS #IVE WANTED TO DRAW THESE TWO FOR SO LONG IDK WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG😭😭😭😭

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

#original #the last unicorn #tlu #peter s beagle #molly gru #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first! #my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped! #no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different. #to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life! #but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol #because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb #the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!! #my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘 #i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful. #and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE #mostly zoro's blades from One Piece #normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and #then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU #and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

This, no joke, may be one of my favourite fanfictions I’ve read.

Lugnut and Blitzwing shooting the shit; them getting involved in the nitty gritty of an earth woman’s crumbling life; then genuinely feeling sorry for her and wanting justice for her!

It’s just so fuckin funny. Please read @iliterallydecepticanteven ‘s fanfiction “Eat shit and live, Blitzwing”. It’s a treasure ✨

#transformers #tfa #transformers animated #Blitzwing #lugnut #Love me a woman who tells a 30Ft robot to fuck off #I wish the decepticons got more involved in earth shenanigans #they would absolutely LOVE Soap Operas #I wonder who will get the dbza reference

don't get me wrong i'm a sucker for Bear-Appeal Peppino as much as anyone else but sometimes i like to look at his sprites and remember that he looks like this

that's him. that's our tumblr sexyman.

and i wouldn't have it any other way

#looking at a couple of his ingame sprites for drawing reference and. this guy really just be Shaped isn't he. #it's fucking delightful. i'm a sucker for smearframe intensive animation and looking at all the wonderful ones pizza tower tries to hide- #- from you is an Experience. #anyways. back to storyboarding the roughly 25 drawings the first part of my comic's gonna have. help me. #pizza tower #pizza tower peppino

Anywayys so I may be lowkey highkey having a bit of a miraculous ladybug phase and I read @buggachat 's drowning (in plain sight) and. Jesus. Christ. When I tell you it CHANGED MY LIFE. Sooo I made a short animatic out of it.

A little warning, this is my 1st time trying animation and it's basically testing the waters, plus I'm not even used to digital art. So, I tried my best.

Hope y'all like it anyways!!!

#btw i hope the references to the fic are clear enough #also yeah ik the song is abt a divorce but shhh now it's about adrien talking to himself #i can't believe my 1st attempt at animation is abt fucking miraculous oh god i'll never stop being 13 years old ig #welp #miraculous ladybug #love square #adrien agreste #chat noir #adrinette #ladynoir #marichat #ladrien #nino lahiffe #alya cesaire #marinette dupain cheng #ladybug #mlb #miraculous #miraculous fanart #mlb fanart #miraculous spoilers #miraculous lb #mlb spoilers #my art #animation #animatic

there's aus where u try to recreate the "effect" of a character's personality and behavior through an alternative "cause", and then there's this shit where i Just think umm well personally wolfwood being down to kill for vash is hot and it's a bummer vash doesn't think so too, but what if an au where he does ?

it's not a true "villain" vash au, basically it goes that vash decided to stick it out with knives in the hopes he could mitigate the damage knives planned to do to mankind, and it's worked for the most part-- at the expense of vash taking on much of knives' ire himself. this vash is even more isolated than in canon, unable to meet the standard knives enforces for what a god is supposed to look like, and constantly concerned with appeasing knives: dressing and styling his hair in a way that doesn't annoy him, talking very little, always offering compromises that put himself at a disadvantage

it's a wholly bad deal, up until the eye (yeah i'm blending stuff from other triguns in even tho it's a 98 au lol) offer vash their latest up-and-coming disciple to protect and serve him directly, though the "protecting" thing ends up being extremely mutual. wolfwood is the first bright spot in vash's life in a hundred years, and he's not going to allow anybody to take that away

#trigun #trigun anime #trigun fanart #vash #vash the stampede #wolfwood #nicholas d. wolfwood #vashwood #shared devotions au #<- in case i ever draw it again lol. it's an abba reference cuz abba is delightful villain music fhdhdjdj #literally my motivations here was just. i wanna see a situation where wolfwood has to do something fucked up for vash #and instead of vash proselytizing and projecting his trauma at him vash is like. Oh. you really do care for me don't you. #and EQUALLY AS MUCH SO i need vash covered in someone else's blood having thrashed a fucker for getting near wolfwood fhdhdjdjjs #wolfwood can have a lil religious moment realizing how much this traumatized godthing loves him. as little a treat. #love drawing vash's hair all fucked up as a visual representation of his decaying mental state dhfkgdkf #also love vash and knives' opposing color schemes and what you could interpret about their self-perceptions from that alone <3

Nothing is stronger than the bond between a girl and a piece of media they brushed off 10 years ago that they now realized is the greatest thing ever made

#In this context 'girl' refers to everyone this has happened to #I've already told the story about how I watched half of the first ep of khr and turned it off cuz I thought tsuna annoying #I did it with mairuma too I saw it coming out and just ignored it cuz I thought the concept was generic #And only picked it up when the manga was updating #Fukimono I read like up to when they go to the yokai world and never got to it till I got super sick actual YEARS afterwards #Sad to say but blue exorcist technically counts cuz I read 5 chapters ans stopped but it's cuz I got busy its not cuz I STOPPED liking aoex #I never stop liking blue exorcist this is for life #Jeweler richard anime I got to ep 6 and was convinced for a while it was mid and yeah the anime is but the manga/LN is amazing #I did this with a ton of vocaloid artists too #Let's not bury the lead (I say as bury the lead) #This post is actually cuz I've been binge reading yohaji #I have vague memories of looking at it so fucking long ago and thinking the first chapter was vulgar but once u get passed that hump wow #It's so good #I'm gonna make a separate post about hmmgm #Tell me what yall did this to thanks #Khr #Hitman reborn #Mairuma #mairimashita! iruma kun #fukigen na mononokean #fukimono #blue exorcist #ao no exorcist #Jeweler richard #yohaji #Fuck what's the full yohaji title #Oh well

Jake: "Oh, I’m too old for stuffed animals." Skill issue. Sorry you can’t appreciate little creatures made to hang out with you, I on the other hand am full of joyous whimsy, and therefore vastly superior.

#submission #source: user Solreefs on Tumblr #god i hope no one has done this before #at least with jake anyhow #btw i was gonna go with jade for this but then the phrase joyous whimsy was there #and for some reason i was decked by the thought of 'what if jake instead' lmao #also you know this gave me an excuse to reference dirk lmao #bro is getting MOCKED for not owning stuffed animals (he does have the fucked up puppets tho. those gotta count for something lmao) #// #homestuck #incorrect homestuck quotes #jake english #dirk strider #mod terezi #those smuppets count for nothing i am afraid #they were not made with whimsy and are incapable of knowing joy

the "paul is richie's uncle" headcanon is really cute but i really love it in tandem with the idea that ted is surprisingly involved in his little brother's life while paul is more just vaguely fond of his nephew, but doesn't really know all that much about his friends or his day-to-day life

like, the idea of ted knowing all his geeky little brother's friends really well, like letting them chill in his apartment every now and then to watch movies or driving them home when they have their stupid library study sessions or whatever is already pretty fun, just the idea that the Local Bastard has accidentally and begrudgingly been saddled with these two loser highschoolers because they're his little brother's dweebus friends that he doesn't want to admit he has a soft spot for, but it's made doubly funny if paul just has no idea that his nephew's best friend is the little brother of the Worst Guy In His Office. ted comes over to paul's desk one day with a stack of dog-eared manga like "pete forgot to take these this morning, so you give 'em back to richie for me, okay? also, ruth's right, stein and spirit are definitely fucking and i want him to stop fighting with her about it when i pick 'em up from the library" and paul is just like. okay. i have several questions about this.

#paul: why are you borrowing manga from my nephew #ted: i just told you! i'm sick of him and ruth bitching about it whenever i drive 'em somewhere #ted: and the only way to get richie to shut up when he's arguing about weeb shit is to beat his argument. you know what he's like with anim #paul: yeah ted i do know what he's like with anime. how do YOU know what he's like with anime #ted: well he's been watching it in my fucking living room since he was twelve so i don't have much of a choice now do i #paul: sorry he's been what #richie lipschitz #paul matthews #ted spankoffski #peter spankoffski #it's been a decade since i read or watched soul eater btw and i never finished it so take my stein/spirit reference with a grain of salt #i just remember there was an exes vibe. also i think richie agrees he just thinks ruth's specific headcanons are stupid
