If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order:
Hello, you fucking-
Ah- Hello, Akira!
Fuck off, why should I tell you-
Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.
I don’t want your shitty gift.
Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.
I hope I choke.
They’re lovely, thank you.
Like hell.
Likewise.
There’s no way it’s just a coincidence.
Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.
okay one level deeper in indie 80s comics and your just fucked for trying to find info online. but i thought ppl would really like this image
[ID from alt: Back pages advertisement for Jim Lawson's "Bade Biker and Orson" no. 4. A caption box reads: Orson goes underground in: The Demon Car From Hell, Part II. The art is very obscured copy of Gustave Doré illustration of the divine comedy, Virgil and Dante standing over Farinata's tomb. Orson, a cartoon frog looking character, has been physically pasted next to Farinata in the image photocopy. END ID]
Doré's original illustration, sans Orson.
[ID from alt: The illustration in much higher clarity, and fuller range of values. The full bodies and details of all subjects visible along with background details and line work. END ID]

Started working on de rusting and cleaning and seasoning the second hand cast iron. At 9pm.
[the choice I made was calculated but man am I bad at maths]
Also this was the first time I've tried to use the oven and it won't turn on and none of the online user manuals are helping so gas hob first layer of seasoning while I lay here at 11pm it is
Oh yeah does anyone know a good place to donate my old binders to since obviously I don’t need them anymore. Or any trans ppl that need binders n can’t afford them they’re both gc2b half tanks ones a tan large & the other is a white medium !
Boom superhero au stuff. I have school tomorrow so I'm going to do this relatively fast.
By the way, sorry this looks so bad, but in my defense it's like 2am in the morning.
The prompt was "this seems like a bad time to fall in love"
Did I make Midna work under dark link? Yes
was Midna tasked specifically to kill or kidnap Twilight? Yup.
Does this mean their are other people working under dink going after the others? You bet.
Is Twilight completely in love with this woman who's trying to kill him? Of course.
Would she actually kill him? Maybe?
I'm sorry but i just loves the idea of Midna trying to kill Twilight and Twilight just using the worst pick up lines because his brain short circuits every time he sees Midna. Bro her hair took me so long. It's painful.
Anyway here's a short fic for funzies
The air was a bitter cold, biting at his skin, whipping his hair around, clawing at his clothes, blowing it's cold winter frost up and down his arms.
Hylias sake, Twilight hated winter. He hated the cold, the thing where snow wasnt sticky enough and just made slush on the side of the road, he hated how the radio stations started playing Christmas music too early, he just hated all of it. If there was one upside it was that he had a excuse to stay in his house more days then not. Patrols were always shit though. Chasing criminals between alleyways, with the snow soaking through your shoe. Fucking horrible if you asked him. Sky of course, though winter was great. Thinking of hot chocolate and snowmen. Time however, the only other one in the facility Twilight ever talked to, agreed with him. Winter was overrated. Maybe Wild would have a new opinion on the matter. The kid probably liked the snow. Actually, knowing wild he was probably one of this kids who put rocks in snowball on purpose. Little sociopath. Twilight wouldn't trade his protege for the world, but being the number 3 hero and mentoring a illegal vigelate was- eventful to say the least. He continued thinking about inconsequential things, in a attempt to distract himself from the biting chill setting in his fingertips as he walked to his house. Abruptly, his train of thought was cut off as he was flung to the ground. His reflexes saved him from slamming his head on the concrete, but as good as his reflexes were, whoever had thrown him was better. In two swift movements, they were above him, crouched over him, and in the nest he was pinned to the ground, a boot digging harshly into his shoulder blade. He winced at the pain, trying to jerk out of his captors hold. But as as soon as they looked down at him he froze. She was gorgeous. That was his first coherent thought. She had dark russet eyes, complementing deep brown skin. Thick hair curled around itself twisting above him as she looked down with curiousity. "So your the one he sent me after?" her voice was tainted with disappointment. "Pity, i was expecting you to be a bit more-" a pause "competent." normally such words would have offended him, but as he was, he was trapped in the hypnotic vortex of those eyes, sparkling with a deep mischief. There was a prolonged silence as Twilight's deconstructed brain tried to form some semblance of any word. She shifted slightly uncomfortable with the tension in the air. "Well? Say something!" she demanded she paused with a slight chuckle at the man's awestruck face. "Or am i too beautiful that you've no words left?"
I have a surprising number of mods that would work pretty well for Demon!Scriabin! No neck shackle so a simple chain necklace will have to do for now. I thought double watches would be a little too silly as well haha ♪ I’m planning to look into coloured round glasses in general, but at least I’ve got some pearly eyes already
It’s no yarn, but the horns are still pretty cool
I also made some temps for the Lady!Vargases hehe
I had a lot of fun picking out formal clothes for her as well lol
Screwing around with Real-Time-Voice-Cloner so I can make The Hollow Kids say Stupid Shit. 1/??? (Also Surprise Voice Reveal)
Gonna train the synthesizer a bit more and then see if I can mess with the vocoder at all. If enough people ask for it I'll make a tutorial on how to get this program working so you can mess around with it yourself.
Anyways feel free to ask questions, provide thoughts, give advice if you know about training/this tech kind of stuff (I don't really know what I'm doing. I got a 30% in algebra 3 in highschool). Request lines for TTS Skeet to say. Vote for which character I try to do next after Skeet, all that jazz.
I am once again contemplating the effectiveness of using the Tumblr beta to write essays.
Because that 10-image limit? Even in non-photo posts? It kills me. Ten pictures is just a fraction of the content I'll cap for a comprehensive post—and I say that with certainty. When writing essays, I'll often paste screenshots onto a single canvas in layers. The layer numbers let me know exactly how many images I'm dealing with.
For the last big post I wrote, that number was 73:
For a post in the drafts that I haven't touched in over a month partly because I was working on Last Big Post which I wrote on a whim instead, that number is currently 58:
Now, with this particular essay, unlike the last one, I think I can easily trim the number down without really losing anything. A lot of the screenshots here are included purely for the dialogue. Lines may stretch across a few pictures, but I can use simple editing to put entire statements onto one cap. The limitations of the Tumblr beta are good in this situation; getting the whole line on one image makes the post easier to load and read. It's something I probably ought to have been doing more before the Tumblr beta essentially forced me to.
And there are arguably other benefits, too. When combining multiple images into one, it might strengthen my point because there are several examples of said point in such close proximity.
But I guess I'm saying all this because I'm... really pretty bummed about how my last big essay turned out. A lot of the screenshots there were not about the dialogue. I ended up linking to GIFs I'd edited or other essays I'd written that included the pictures that wouldn't fit.
And I just keep thinking. How much more effective would that post have been, if I'd used these images that I did cap?
How much better would I have gotten my point across, if I didn't just link to these GIFs but placed them right in the essay?
How much stronger would my argument about Dr. Agasa calling on Heiji to help Shinichi, because he feels like Shinichi will not open up to anyone else, have been, if I'd put these screencaps next to each other?
Heiji: Truth is, I got a call from an old guy named Agasa last night. He wanted to talk to me about you.
Heiji: This old man called me, saying that if I, your best friend, came, I could help you.
How much nicer would the whole thing have looked, if relevant images were placed underneath the text describing them rather than way later because I was grouping so much together? How much more readable would it have been? How much would the image quality have improved without all the resizing?
I was rambling about this earlier, but it's just so disappointing when you put so much effort into something but screw it up with the execution. With my last big post, I could have worked less hard for probably stronger results, and that... hurts.
tl;dr, I love the Tumblr beta for its alt text option, and it's encouraged me to be (slightly) less long winded and more succinct, which is probably a good thing because I can go off for way too long. But I feel like it also weakens my posts because it's too limiting. The formatting of my pictures is negatively impacted, and I'm not able to include as many visual examples as I'd like, either.
I've been trying really hard, but I don't think I can keep using the beta for more comprehensive essays unless that 10-image limit for non-photo posts goes away....
way some people talk about buying clothes is bonkers. you just walk into a store and shit fits you and then it lasts a long time? you're joshing me rn you're yanking my fucking chain
