#this might be a little older idk

[beej-hunnicutt]

AAAAAAAAA LOOKING THROUGH MY ART FOLDER ON MY PHONE AND STUMBLED INTO THIS AGAIN......

Scary! This says April 5th is the date of the screenshot! Which means these Johns are a little over a year old! Wow! MY first digital John (these) turned a year old!!!! I cannot believe it!

I'm still SOOOOO conflicted with this John drawing!! I look at it and I both hate it and love it! I just don't know!! But I loooove the outfit. He's so laid back! Not even his Polo is tucked in! What is this, John?! Sksksksks

But wow!!! This John isn't bad by any means, but I think I have improved, believe it or not!! Wow! So many feelings!!

#lol the small text as me realizing that while i was typing i just noticed the date! #actually let me check #this might be a little older idk #(m.iii) #j.d. #a

My page for @destinytriofanzine! I drew something about kids always dreaming of far off places

[id in alt!]

#kingdom hearts #kh #ahh this one was so hard to draw; i never know how to combine a bunch of scenes in one picture without it looking cheesy #just threw a bunch of waves and leaves and birds on top and called it a day haha. it might be a bit too busy though #the white line going up the center is supposed to be a trail left behind by the gummi ship! it connects to the ship in the bg at the top #it's kinda meant to evoke little kids dreaming of other places-> getting older and earnestly making the raft to try to reach the dream #->the gummi ship as a premonition of how they'd actually reach the dream in the future. i guess? idk how to explain #and i really wanted to have kairi's expressions be really similar but changing subtly from wonder to worry when she's older #the boys are just max enthusiasm the whole time #but yeah. something something Symbolism and hopefully it's at least kinda pretty if it doesn't make sense #i'm just super proud to have been part of this project! everyone's work is just amazing #the destiny kids give me this soft feeling of kinda lonely nostalgia. it's nice to have a book full of that #very wistful looking through it #fan art #my art #project stuff

I am here, once again, with my Ao No Flag propaganda

These two specific panels of Toma were the thing that made me think over a year ago “Man. I want to be like that too” as in KAITO drawing expression because—

The subtle shift of emotion, it’s present all throughout the manga, but this is what sold it for me. For no particular reason, it’s not even the best example, it was just what sealed the deal to me

#it’s the way his eyes open slightly in surprise when Seiya tells him that his friends refused to give an explanation when asked about #what happened in what I think is a way of them showing they care about Toma #and that surprises Toma since I believe he might have been doubtful his friends would forgive him after that #which man. idk maybe it’s because it hit home in some other things. it’s so good #Kaito handles the way the characters express themselves so good I’m always in awe anytime I reread any volume #it’s just. they feel so real in their flaws and mistakes and how they take it. for example our dear protagonist #man he is a wreck. but it’s understandable since he is going through a stage in life where he is still understanding himself! #and KAITO depicts it so nicely and lets him be awful. and let’s everyone be it too. they fuck up yes! but it’s not the end of the world #and he shows that too. how it’s okay to make mistakes but you have to owe them and grow from them not get stuck in them #it’s the little me inside of myself that was making me weep I believe #Ao no flag #blue flag #toma mita #yeah this is about volume 7 too #well i dont know it’s the way Seiya is older sibling anguish that hit me with a bat personally because 🤝. same. #and just. AAAAGGHHHH I’m going insane

actually omg Tim has a mentioned absent mother and an unmentioned (presumably MORE absent father) mommy and daddy issues wombo combo

#ive thought a little abt what their families might have been like #alex has normal ass supportive nice parents. he gives off younger brother of older sister energy #jay feels like he was raised by a very quiet dad. idk abt the mom situation #brian either has RICH ass parents or was raised by grandparents. just feels right. spoiled boy #mayyybe siblings if he has them theyre like 10 years apart in either direction

The best part about writing slightly older characters is that you get to give them signs of aging!

Like, a character who's relatively young but has a very pronounced crease between their brows because of how often they frown? Tell me more! Being able to infer how stessful a character's life has been by how grey their hair is or isn't?? Hell yeah!! A character with very clear smile lines but who seems depressed all the time??? I wanna know about that!!!

You get these little things about them as first-impression, through casual description, and it immediately gives you some information about who they are or what life they've led. It really gets you thinking about them!

You can also have their backstories cover greater spans of time to either fit more stuff in or stretch events out. A character in their early 20's says something like "I've been studying these texts for 10 years" and I'm like "yeah dude whatever, you were 100% not studying ancient texts at age 13". A character in their 30's or 40's says that and I'm like "oh shit bro tell me more?? clearly you have some kind of personal investment in these texts!".

You get a lot more to work with! I just think age adds characterisation flavour!!

#of course not saying writing people in their 20's is the same as writing people in their 50's #they can be very different things #but i really enjoy writing older characters bc of all these little things #either they did a bunch of stuff before the plot or they've been in the plot for decades #either way is interesting tbh #get that flavour 👌 #writeblr #writing #ramblies #characterisation #also this kinda applies to real life btw #i find signs of aging quite interesting #and the idea of doing a lot of stuff for a long time #might be bc i'm young but idk why really

being raised by daryl dixon: part two

Masterlist!! Get added to my taglist!!

Being raised by Daryl Dixon masterlist!! Being raised by Daryl Dixon taglist!!

A/N: ty for all the love on part one!! mwah mwah!! i rlly wanna put it out there, the strong group bond exists! that just isn't the focus of this story so it does get skipped over a bit. also i apologise for this part covering such a short time span. did also change y/n to be feminine, it's needed for some of my later ideas to make sense, which you begin to see in this part. hope you enjoy!! <333

-S404

Warnings: Just normal TWD stuff! Also kind of a filler part, nothing too serious happens, just a ton of fun Dad Daryl moments!

Word count: 1.3k

After the ordeal at the highway, the group spent months travelling on foot. It was during this time your bond with Daryl really grew stronger. You had learnt not to complain about being hungry, or your legs being tired, but Daryl didn't need you to say it for him to carry you on his back and give you more rations than he could spare.

He spent a lot of time separate from the group, hunting whatever animals remained out there. He realised then, that he was doing this for the whole group because he cared about them, not just because he had to.

After a few weeks of travelling, the group reached a promising small town. Hershel was given the responsibility of watching over you whilst houses were cleared, as Daryl was out hunting. That day you got into an altercation with a walker which ended with a bite taken out of your sneaker.

When Daryl came back and Hershel informed him on the situation that day, everyone fell silent in the next room to hear what he would say. "I don't care if she didn't get bit ol' man. If she ever come back to me with a hair plucked out of her head, or god forbid an actual injury, whilst yer the one caring for 'er, you will never see the light of day again, yer hear me?" As Daryl walked into the room, everyone pretended to have not paid any attention.

Over the next few days, Daryl found you proper hiking boots and began teaching you basic knife skills. You told him you were jealous of Carl, because he could shoot, Daryl promised to teach you how to shoot when there was the leisure time and ammo to spare. He stayed around the group as much as he could until he was confident you wouldn't be found in that situation again if he was gone.

Back on the road, scouting out a grocery store, you found a box of pregnancy tests and gave them to Lori because you read the word "pregnancy" and thought of her instantly. She laughed and said "God I can't wait until we really settle down and get these kids learning again." Shortly after, her and Daryl got into an argument because he thought teaching you how to hunt was more important than teaching you how to read, because "Yer don't need to read 'rabbit' to kill it."

You felt much safer after arriving at the prison. As promised, the second working on the prison's security wasn't mandatory for him, Daryl began taking you outside of the perimeter to teach you how to shoot. You were such a natural that after a week of practise, Daryl could move onto teaching you what he really wanted to, hunting skills.

One day, you and Daryl were tracking a squirrel, and just as you were about to take a shot at it with his crossbow, you stepped on a stick and alerted the creature. As it started to scatter away, Daryl ran after it, eventually pinning it on the floor, letting you take the shot again, he knew how much it meant to you.

You were there to witness Lori's death, and it devastated you. You watched everyone piece themselves back together eventually, but you felt on edge constantly, feeling as though something like that could happen again easily at any given time.

You moved into Daryl's cell to make yourself feel safer. At first you snuck in during the night with your pillow and bear, and slept on the cold concrete floor. You woke up that morning tucked into the bed. The next night when you went to sneak in, you were welcomed by three stacked mattresses on the floor, with pillows and blankets on top ready for you. The two of you never said anything about it, but it became routine.

Daryl took on Judith very well, and you helped him look after her whilst Carl and Rick were grieving Lori. You loved the baby. Daryl left you with her once and came back to you telling her that she was "going to beat the world." He told you that "she'd only be learnin' from the best." That made you smile.

When Maggie and Glenn decided to give each other haircuts in the prison barber's, you begged Maggie to cut your hair like hers. Daryl said no because "you'd regret it, yer love your long hair don't ya'?" But really he just thought you'd look so much older with it cut, he didn't want you to grow up. When you told him it was annoying and got in your face all the time, he offered to braid it for you instead. He didn't know how to braid. He got Carol to teach him soon after the exchange, and prepped himself up heavily for the moment you finally came for him to do it.

You finally felt comfortable in the prison at night, so you started sleeping alone in your cell again, that was until Carl came to you one night asking if he could sleep on the floor, Judith was being too loud in the other cell block where he usually slept.

You and Carl spent the next day moving a second bed into your room, Daryl helped you on the condition you wouldn't tell Rick he was involved. You all ran and hid after dropping the mattress from the balcony which made Rick call out "What in the hell was that?" He walked into the silent cell block, but caught you all after Carl started giggling too loudly, Daryl bolted away from the scene and Rick chased after him. You were sore from laughing afterwards.

Daryl made Carol help him give you the boy talk that he felt was growing necessary. Carol gave you the entire talk whilst Daryl sat next to her occasionally grunting in agreement. The only contribution he made was when Carol stared at him, trying to get him to say something encouraging. He said "If a man... or a woman, up to you. If they ever try pull anything on you that yer don't like, you remind 'em who taught ya how to kill." As you looked at him mildly confused, Carol definitely regretted allowing him to speak.

For your thirteenth birthday, Carl recruited Daryl's help to bake a cake for you. They sneaked into Rick's farm to milk the cow and collect eggs. The milk was an easy grab, but they found there were no eggs at all. Daryl, in frustration, held a chicken at knifepoint, cursing at it to "scare it into layin' something." Carl just stared at him. They ended up surprising you with a chocolate bar instead.

You became aware of a prisoner being held hostage in the prison, no one would tell you what her business was being around in the first place, so you decided to speak to her yourself. Michonne explained Woodbury to you, about the Governer and what he would do if he knew the prison existed. But the information that shocked you the most was of Merle's survival.

You knew that if faced with his brother again, Daryl wouldn't know what to do with himself and he'd end up losing all the progress he'd made in the group. You had to look out for him just as he looked out for you. You had to kill Merle before Daryl even caught a whiff of his living existence.

on the second weekend of january an aunt passes away on the third week of january an uncle passes away you'd never guess what happened on the last weekend of the month... a cousin passes away

#all on my mothers side such a cool month #hope this doesn't prolong til february #i hate going to mass but funeral masses are just awful specially if you're a nonbeliever receiving dirty looks from the old christian ladie #my uncle's funeral was particular in the sense where the were no gravediggers in the village and the people who dug the grave did it wrong #and as you can imagine the coffin didn't fit so they had to dig the grave three times for the coffin to fit in front of the family mind you #which was surreal might i add #when they came to take measurements of the coffin again during the wake i legit thought what if the coffin doesn't fit after all this #little did i know #for the sake of mental health i'm not going to the cousin's funeral and also we weren't close since he was an older man and i rarely saw #his part of the family but my mom will probably go since she liked him and he's closer in lineage wise (idk if that how you say it...) #i feel like lineage is the wrong word but he's like a 4th to 5th degree cousin to me #anywayssss

'max finally gets the older brother she deserves' 'max is finally free from that asshole' 'max finally gets the family she needs' u are missing the point okay they never got a chance to fully address and work through their shared trauma and fucked up childhoods they never got a chance to properly improve things and understand where each other were coming from they never got a chance to exist without neil hargrove standing over them and controlling them there was never a fucking chance for them oh my god shut up shut up shut uppppp

#steve this eddie that ughhhhhhh i am!!!!!! literally!!!! ughhhghhghghhhh #also u could say that they started to heal #like after that night at the byers - things seemed to be improving on maxs end #max in s3 seemed to genuinely care about what was happening to billy #billys side of things is a little more unclear due to the fact that his s3 non-possessed arc was. not max related. #which. do not get me started. but! #think his perspective in s2 was pretty clear cos like - he cared! #'whyre you so upset? he causing you trouble?' #okay that could be selfish reasons of not wanting to deal with max drama if shit was actually happening #but like. idk. always got the impression he cared in the only way he rly could being an teenage older step brother in that Situation #whatever! the point of this post is that if i see another post abt how eddie or steve can finally be the family she deserves i might scream #m #text

I hate working with men

HM! WELL! #I know this is a crazy wild absolutely batshit suggestion #but when a man gets told what to do/corrected by women (who have all been doing this job SIGNIFICANTLY longer) #and his reaction to is to act like a little fucking disrespectful piss baby #WE JUST WRITE HIM UP LIKE WE WOULD ANYONE ELSE INSTEAD OF TRY TO APPEAL TO HIS FWAGIL TEENY TINY EGO #LIKE IDK SEEMS LIKE THE NORMAL COURSE OF ACTION TO ME????? #not make the androgynous goth bitch in their 20s try to correct him cuz I’m SOMEHOW less threatening #I’m read as a woman he’s gonna have the same damn reaction #I just. ugh.

Kaeya is definitely the sort of parent who prefers to sleep in the same bed as his baby.

#hc; kaeya #//Birthed that little nugget; like FUCK is he going to leave them out of arms reach #//Especially the first few days after the birth; he'd be SO anxious every time they've gotta be apart #//ESP considering the kinds of shit he gets up to; the last thing he wants if sb with a grudge getting em & him being too far to get there #//Takes a good long leave until they're able to be left with a sitter (gets Noelle to deliver him paperwork so he can still help) #//And even then; after leave’s up; prolly brings the baby in to work to have around for paperwork duty #//Might leave them to Noelle or Lisa if he HAS to head out; or might suck it up & make the trek to the Winery to ask Addie for help #//Gets a protective barrier between himself and the baby so he doesn't accidentally smother them & around the bed so they don't fall tf off #//Love the idea of him being like. Ahsoka’s mom in Star Wars; brings the baby along during patrols when they are old enough to handle it #//Deffo gets an earful from Addie the Instant she hears abt it #//Prolly teaches the kid self-defense Real early on like his dad did for him; too #//Makes Kae feel a little more reassured and comfortable giving them more space/time on their own the older they get #//V smotheringly protective at first; but gets better over time; esp if the kid wants to be more independent #//Or enough ppl tell him to let the kid be such.

thinkim about ur fan colony,, mayhaps have a crumb of lore? even if just a lil' to keep me going thru these troublesom times, hope you u have a good day!

Thalamhan, in comparison to other cybertronian colonies, is fairly young. Danuas was among the first titans to take to space, but among the last to find a planet for themselves. This is because she traveled further than most, to the far reaches of the galaxy where no other titan had gone, and she was very picky about what planet she would settle down in. The planet she chose was known to other life forms as Feyeri-7, but it would come to be named Elthame by its future inhabitants. When she landed on it, she began to burrow deep down into its earth until she brushed its molten mantle and fell into her slumber. The first Thalamites were born soon after—it’s unknown if there were cybertronians who had settled down on the planet with her, as if there were, they’ve been lost to history.

Danuas didn’t have a cityspeaker for a long time, not as the vibrant and lush caverns she had burrowed through or created in her wake were being discovered and settled in by her first generation. Thalamites may have not been aware of her existence even, not until one of them (re)discovered the titan and fully felt their connection with her. They awakened the rest of the Thalamites to Danuas soon after, and all were immediately devoted to the one who had gifted them with their life and home. It’s still unknown how Coru became the first real cityspeaker, but he was among the oldest.

The discovery of natural ununtrium veins would come further in the future.

#hope you like it! #thalamhan #danuas #Feyeri-7 is pronounced almost like fairy-7 as a little nod #finally i named the planet!! #I’m rethinking coru’s design actually… I might want him to be a little beefier. a little older presenting #just to show how old he is #and him crushing on the twinkier gealach is cute to me idk #Elthame is a spin off Elphame/Elfame which is another name for fairyland

[bitchthefuck1]

have you watched the pjo show?

I saw the first 2 episodes when they came out at a watch party one of my friends threw, and as soon as they ended I realized I didn't particularly care to keep going. It wasn't like, outrageously bad by any means, I just don't think it gripped me enough to want to continue, and there were enough odd adaptational choices that I thought weakened the story that I lost interest. I might have tuned back in if the changes actually built to something interesting in the later episodes, but from everything I've seen it kinda seems like they just took the teeth out of the story, which was what I was worried about.

That being said, the cast seems really great and well suited to their roles, so like, if they improve the writing and pacing in the later seasons and stop sanding down all the rough edges, I might pick it back up. But otherwise, pass.

#im like famously bad at watching tv tho so me not wanting to continue is less dramatic than it probably sounds #i just don't really watch it casually anymore so I'll only follow along with shows that i really really like #i got another ask about the show a little while ago and i was like 'oh ill answer that once ive caught up' and then i never caught up so #sorry to whoever sent that i wasn't ignoring you i just never got to the ep you mentioned #like if I'm trying to be optimistic. given how quickly shows get canned if they're not immediately super popular. and given that this is a #disney product. its possible that once the show proves it can be commercially successful and the characters get older they might stop #playing it so safe and boring and bring some of the harder and more complicated elements back in. and like. that won't fix what they've #already fumbled but it will at least make the story better and more interesting. but idk how likely that is esp since #rick riordan seems totally on board with all the changes and it sounds like he doesn't really get why they diminish the story #like i feel like they're thinking too much about whether or not a change has a huge impact on the plot and not enough about how it #impacts the characters and the overall theme and vibe of the story. if that makes sense #like sure we still got from point A to point B in roughly the same way but that trip means something different for the characters now #and if you do that enough times you end up with a completely different result at the end even if we're technically in the same place #percy jackson show #asks

in case anyone was wondering about the radio silence these last few weeks

i have officially committed to digimon card game brainrot

someone in my area was looking to give their collection to a good home and i spent over 16 hours the last few days organizing all the cards into a new container by set and rarity

yes i'm counting starter decks as their own set, purely out of convenience

also all of my bt-15 is in a binder in set order and i did not feel like pulling it out to put into here lmao

like last week i bought a booster box of bt-15 (because a collection has to start somewhere and yes i want to do something with that rando apocalymon card i pulled) and then

literally the day after

someone in my area is offering the holy grail of a collection for someone starting new in a card game (relatively large swath of cards including a lot of bulk to help cook with and some huge centerpiece cards, plus a few pre-built decks, half-cooked deckstuff, spare card accessories)

#sky talks #digimon #digimon card game #i'm tempted to also alphabetize the rarity chunks but that might be a little excessive idk #anything SR or SEC is safely stored elsewhere though #anyways it was really fun getting to see the way older sets did that little foil edging? #like the gold edge around the artwork border on a lot of the tamers in bt-01 through bt-4 or 5? #look at the hacker's memory tamers to see what i mean #a lot of the holo cards in this card game are gorgeous though #like of course you have the very basic flat foils #but there are so many cards with really fascinating foil prints going on #not to mention the art itself #it was really fun realizing by the end i could recognize a few artists before seeing their handle on the side lmao
