#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jiang fengmian #yu ziyuan #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #Almost axed this comic but then I remembered I cut the previous argument between them and I guess they can have this. #and by 'this' I mean their toxic arranged marriage verbal battles. #As I previously mentioned in a comic I have chosen to see them as mlm and wlw in an unfulfilled relationship. #The yearning is for companionship. I think they do care for each other it's just something deeply complicated. And bitter. #I truly feel for JC and WWX in this scene because while it's implied YZY really pushes the limit...it's apparent this isn't new. #And it's so petty! Anyone who lived through a parent pitting you against a sibling can tell you that this stuff messed them up #regardless of what side you were on (the golden one or the fuck up). #It doesn't matter what is said. It matters that it was said at all. That you can't shake the concept once it was spoken. #The Jiang household is so much more miserable the deeper you examine what's going on and how they cope with it. #Knowing that a parent does not like you is just awful. I wish everyone who's been through it all the best. You didn't deserve that. #Next update is back to the jokes! Remember jokes? It jingled merrily...How I miss the sound of those bells...

I too miss Laerryn. Coramar-Seelie divorce one-shot when.

Thought it'd be fun to make a beach outfit for Angel :> Plus some huskerdust being Nifty's parents in the background

#these sketches are a bit old #you can tell I have no idea how to handle Angel's legs 😂 #what kind of shoes does a spider wear at the beach? #sounds like a set-up for a dad joke but I desperately need to know #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel fanart #hazbin hotel angel dust #hazbin hotel husk #huskerdust

actually the real culprit here is bbh's unseriousness.

bc he was actually pretty set on a tie (despite pierre trying to convince him otherwise) but anytime tubbo just so happened to vc, he would do his classic "lets kill them!!!" joke, which made tubbo think he actually WAS going to kill green...and then so tubbo (logically) didn't tell them he was giving green items to win. and so bbh misunderstood the plan and thought he had to claim his tasks to match both roier and elq claiming theirs.

its what ive always said about q!bad...he will "boy who cried wolf" too close to the sun.

#qsmp #i know this sounds like a joke or that im going 'hes just silly' #but we can genuinely unpack this like this is something that severely damages peoples trust in him #and its FASCINATING

While I'm not one for generational conflict cuz there's no war but the class war so to speak, I can't help but think that a "perfect millennial comedy routine" probably oughta consist of a little bit more substance than repackaged "kids use weird slang these days," along with askin to be given some common decency in accounta introducing Facebook and Instagram, plus also bein the boss.

Now folks I may just be a simple country baked salted ham, but it seems ta me that listin off four o the worst things in the world today ain't exactly any generation's idea of empathetic. Ain't a doubt in my mind we're more like than not cross put near three or four decades, jest sayin don't trust too well someone askin you to smile along while they insult ya and tell ya how ta act and they think ya oughta be quiet n grateful for a handful o garbage cuz they invented takin a shit.

But I don't know, don't listen to an old coot like me.

#i think ive seen that routine too many times i cant take it anymore its just repackaged kids these days in a shiny coat of irony #yelling at clouds #no but seriously gen z et all someone going like ooky booky and saying your slang sounds made up and weird probably isn't your friend #they're just someone two steps removed from a blue hair and pronouns joke #it doesn't matter how old or young just knowing tiktok exists doesn't make someone trustworthy

i think my biggest decked out 2 meta thought is that the hermits are currently seriously undervaluing the ethereal cards on account of them losing them in the future, and in general undervaluing the entire crowns shop in favor of the frozen shards.

the thing is, they're right about moment of clarity; building up your permanent deck is more important than that temporary boost, and moment of clarity just doesn't do enough for any given run to be worth it if it's anything other than 'the only thing left you can afford'. they're right about that specific ethereal card.

the PROBLEM is that they're extending that calculus to the crowns shop. but that's not the same trade-off in the crowns shop! literally every item in the crowns shop is one-time use! so the ACTUAL trade-off there is "will this item i buy help me enough to make up for the number of dungeon runs it took to buy it". when you look at it like that, it becomes clear that frozen shards are probably a little overpriced if you're just going to run easy or medium, and are ESPECIALLY overpriced if you're not sure you can reliably win that run. eight crowns, especially early game, seems to currently take three or four runs to build up, and that's if you're lucky with treasure on all of them and win all of them!

meanwhile, three crowns is one or two runs - one if you're lucky, two if you're not, from what i've seen. for those three crowns, though, you can get one of the ethereal cards, which will then help ensure you win your next run, getting you to another permanent card. for a little more, you could get something like tango as the dungeon lackey, and REALLY amp up your ability to make sure you win a run.

now, later on in the game when treasure is more reliable and runs are more valuable, this calculus probably changes; suddenly, one extra run is worth a lot more than it currently is. it's just that one run RIGHT NOW is worth like, one common card and a crown, unless you add something to it to make it worth more, whereas a copy of like, pay to win, could bump a run up to an uncommon card, and that's way more valuable than an additional run, i think.

#hermitcraft #decked out 2 #<- i should really have a unified tag so i've started making one #anyway love talking meta here. where absolutely no one who could use it will see it. #that sounds like a joke but it actually isn't this way i'm not directly backseating/metagaming lol #anyway for the record i totally get saving up for frozen shards instead #because. you know. content. extra run more content more fun. #BUT LISTEN ON A META LEVEL--

id: a digital drawing of knight light from date knight. she’s visible to a little below her waist, her body is turned towards the viewer, but her head is facing right. his left arm is at the height of his hips and in his right hand, which is outstretched, he’s holding his lantern. their armor is golden and heavily decorated with flowers, wings and suns. the background is dark blue, but lit up a lighter shade by the lantern. end id

check out date knight here! :3

#i was trying my hardest to only decorate their armor with only sun related motifs but oughh i love drawing flowers so bad #that one joke drawing of gabriel rewired my brain i think #<was also partially inspired by gabriel. drawing the armor. esp with the umm skirt thingy #art #fanart #date knight #knight light #<i like her name :3 it sounds like night light and it's silly and cute to me i don't know if that was intentional

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

can we talk about how cringy this scene was?

yeah i'm sorry, i'm sure this was written as the Angsty Villain Monologue™, but it just comes off as an edgy teenager trying to be intimidating.

"some people have a bad day, i've had a bad life" you're not special, catra. you've had a bad life and you decide to make that everyone else's problem. other people has had a bad life because of you.

not sure about everyone who follows me/my mutuals, but i genuinely despise when people say "william has no motive!!!! he just likes killing kids" because im so autistic about this franchise. maybe he has no motivation to YOU. but to me (enlightened book enjoyer) (lie i hate the books but i sure have read them) his motivation is quite obvious. according to that one homosexual seemingly throwaway line from the books, he was extraordinarily jealous of henry & his family. jealously can drive a man to do horrible things, i think.

now, whether you're a willry truther or not, i genuinely believe that his motive was jealously (gay jealously or not doesn't super matter). so he killed charlotte to put a dent in henrys seemingly perfect life. and he continued killing kids because not only did he enjoy feeling smarter than the police who never managed to catch him (in the books they do interrogate him, but he walks free, but in my headcanon they interrogate henry and never even think to look into william as a suspect), but also because he finally felt like he had something to hold over henrys head. he had always felt inferior to henry, and the murder of charlotte & the others, while putting a rift in their relationship/friendship, finally made will feel like he was better than and smarter than henry.

#guys i sound pretentious here i swear im not #that opening line is half a joke okay #i dont care if you think he has no motive #not me stay safe out there though #luca speaks #luca's headcanons #<- new tag for my headcanons because i always wanna be able to Look at them without having to scroll thru my insane ramblings #also the remnant thing is whatever im talking about the first initial murders of charlotte and the others #willry #helliam #i need you guys to know also i pronounce helliam like helium #fnaf #child death tw #yeah this is fnaf but im still gonna tag it

what's your opinion on fanfics about dnp? (more in a way of do you think that it's crossing boundaries and/or being parasocial)

i'm of the same mind of dnp in that phanfic is fucking incredible. it's an important and valid way to express yourself, as well as a building block of our community. i don't think it's crossing boundaries, as it's fiction. i don't see it as parasocial either--you're writing for you and others like you. most people don't want dnp reading their fics, it's not for them in a sense, it's for us.

i think dnp are extremely aware of fanfic and its value and place in community. they've always encouraged it, appreciated the support, and given us space about it. they're not ones to make videos about it and mock fans for it (which happened to some of our lovely fic writers here writing for other yt fandoms, and i'm so sorry about it). dnp are fandom culture people. they've written fic themselves! and published it in their book!

the word parasocial has been twisted lately to imply any fan support is unnatural and should be shamed, which is complete fucking bullshit. making art is always important and valued. and it is necessary for your existence as a human, but also for the thing you're a fan of to thrive.

the parasocial side comes in once you start believing you know this person. and that you're their real friend. when in reality, they do not know you specifically, and you are not their friend, you are an audience member.

so a parasocial relationship only occurs when people start crossing boundaries (digging for not publicly available information, contacting people in their personal life, showing up to their house, etc). which, is absolutely nowhere close to real fan behaviour.

tl;dr: phanfic is great, i love you fic writers, parasociality is a problem but not one that we have

#dnp have such a unique relationship w/ their audience in this way. it isnt parasocial bc it isnt like. too real? like they arent our friends #we joke and we meme but we Know that. but they Are a facet of our lives and we do care about them perhaps more than an average community #but they also care about us more than an average creator too. #we're extremely familiar with each other. but not in an unhealthy and dangerous way. just. aware. #its special. its fun. #like we even make jokes about dnp being parasocial with us sometimes lol #i hope im clear and it doesnt sound pointed anon but we've done the morality of rpf so many times in this fandom #on neutral ground any rpf is fine. but especially in dnps case where theyve actively encouraged it and are extremely grateful #except maybe when we haunted them with awful crack fics. but even then they still loved us for it. despite the horrors #dnp #c.text #dan and phil #answered

Radioapple is one of my most favorite ships because Alastor and Lucifer have such strong divorced parents energy.

They both act like they're bitter about the divorce that you can't tell who divorced who.

#I know realisticly it would be Alastor but I also argue that the 'fuck you' to Lucifer made it sound like it was Lucifer under that context #I'm joking btw #radioapple #but seriously I can't get enough of these two bickering at each other #hazbin hotel #I want more divorced parent aus of these two and I WILL MAKE ONE IF I HAVE TO #TO FORFILL MY NEEDS #crack post

Honestly the helluva boss villains are so goofy because most of them are like “grr you shouldn’t have done that you’re going to pay for that!” and this is me reaction every time

#like seriously why is crimson copy paste lookin ass even a recurring villain I can’t his ass serious BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE MOXXIE IN A GOOFY #WAY then striker you know the guy that feels like a threat to imp got the dumb down treatment because Vivzepop didn’t like how the fandom #finds him cool so she makes him the you get no bitches joke (plus his va change and he doesn’t sound threatening anymore) #Stella also got turned into a bimbo like she honestly could of been a great villain but nope! since she is a female character she needs to #be dumb and need her creepy ass brother that’s totally not making flirtatious comments to her #and don’t get me started on Mr Christmas tree like what his ass going to do!? nothing! because by the next episodes everything goes back to #normal #anti helluva boss #helluva boss critical

This started out as cat mirroring and fluff but unfortunately for Eclipse a lot of my trapcards have their origin in the first half of the 20th century and I'd like words.

@naffeclipse someone save him

*self insert Aster is not a girl (he/ she)

og detective au by sunnys-aesthetic!

#post let luce #dcamv #bloodstain fool #naffeclipse #my art #menace4menace #Freud is the easiest of those trapcards #anyone who knows a bit about Freud hates Freud #so that's what made it into the joke #also shoutout to Plummy for asking if Aster is doing the cat mirroring thing #bc I basically went “... Well he is now!” #or we wouldve had more jokes about 1920s slang #posilutely as yes is honestly harmless to some of the shit people said back then #not that we have any room to talk thats how slang *works* #but also. oh my god #yknow when your parents try to stay hip n talk in slang? #opposite here. “youre from the future dont talk like that it sounds wrong when you say it” #long tag ramble. enjoy <3
