Welp.

#I’d love to say warriors in 7 #but it’s probably gonna be lakers in 6 #Joe Lacob should be arrested for wasting a year of Steph Curry’s prime on a bust #this team is not constructed well #and the 2nd overall draft pick they bet the farm on turned out to be a bust #plus jp has had a mediocre to terrible season and playoffs #Steph is going to have a long prime but if this team was just a little bit better they could’ve at least made the finals again

Finally a new TF drawing! This took all weekend,,, this is a piece I've wanted to do for a year now, the Build Team from TF:RID (2001) in my style! This series was Wedge's first appearance and the family dynamic these three had in their debut episode was so cute I decided to make them an actual family (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Time to be a nerd about inherited features:

Wedge gets his Headlights, windowshield, head ridges and lift cylinder from Grimlock; his pedes, lower wheels and legs from Hightower; and helm-brim, visor, ear flats and shoulder wheels from Heavy Load! He's a group project :P

Their personalities are pretty much the same: Heavy Load is Wedge's closest mentor (#mothering), Hightower is way too flattering and Grimlock is the backbone of this family unit :3

They're so stupid I hate them I hope they get squashed /affectionately

Friend tags, because it's been a while ┐⁠(⁠‘⁠～⁠`⁠;⁠)⁠┌

#he's no longer fatherless #to make them fit the wedge lore they could be ex cons as well; redeemed as construction bots on Cybertron since thats their job in rid2001 #either way I changed their designs a little bit I hope they look cool to y'all #tf #transformers #robots in disguise #tf rid2001 #tf build team #tf grimlock #tf heavy load #tf hightower #rba wedge #rescue bots academy #tf rba #NOTE: I HAVEN'T WATCHED THE ENTIRETY OF RID2001- I CHECKED THE WIKI MANY TIMES AND THEY DON'T APPEAR TO BE RELATED IN ANY WAY. making sure.

I know we collectively agree that Hiccup isn’t romantically inclined, and his getting married and having kids didn’t make sense in the epilogue, but consider: Hiccup getting married for political reasons.

It’s a marriage of alliance, which is recognized both by him and his partner, and they enter it without expectations of romantic involvement. Since they’re now married, they live in the same castle, spend time together, and Hiccup finds he really likes his spouse. They’re funny, get along with his friends, and has the same interests and values. They both probably speak multiple languages. She understands why Hiccup is so dedicated to making the Wilderwest better, and holds similar views. She’s a good politician (her job after all, was to be an ambassador). Hiccup likes spending time with them, and the feeling is mutual. They’re not in love, they have their own lives, but they’re dedicated to each other and eventually decide to raise children. They teach their kids how to train hawks and hunt with dragons, riding, history, the Languages, and all the necessary skills of their world. They’re not in love and they’re happy together.

#pushing the aromantic hiccup agenda and also the queerplatonic agenda #as much as the idea of hiccup getting married was always a little off to me it was more the romantic angle #which I why I like the idea of a marriage of alliance and a partner who understands that #and then of course the montage of them being a good team and getting along #and going ‘yeah I like this person. I think this is the person I want to spend my life with.’ #also a) a lot of arranged political marriages did have the foreign spouse function as an ambassador #b) polyglot hiccup is canon and I think it would be neat if his spouse was as well. it is a marriage alliance after all. #she isn’t from the small area of berm #(actually give all the Vikings regional accents. I think it’s neat) #c) she/they because I didn’t feel firmly about the partner’s gender and the nords were pretty gender diverse #anyway I think the partner would probably be fond of the library and admire hiccup got it open way back when #get along with Fishlegs and camicazi well enough #and enjoy dramatic stories of their adventures. maybe have some of her own #also: normalize people having their own lives outside their partners. hiccup and they are happy together but also have their own friends #oh and you know hiccup would be a great dad. he loves Stoick but he would so much be the dad he wished he had growing up #are the kids bio related? are they adopted (cast off and No Names)? who knows! #I could build in my head what hiccup’s spouse is like but I’ll leave it here #they exist as we construct them #httyd #httyd books #my post #book!hiccup #hiccup the third #hiccup horrendous haddock iii #book hiccup

If Porsche ain't omega then why he so offended when Kinn -> "not good enough to breed" Rest my case 😌

Y'know what? Ya right. His face did say 'bitch you didn't even try'.

As for my part, I already argued for Porsche's breedability. And apparently more than a thousand people agreed with me so...

Pathfinders in Space (ABC, 1960)

"Now, the remainder of us have fifteen hours of oxygen left. That leaves fifteen hours in which to complete our research here."

"Well, what's the good of all that if you can't come back with it?"

"The moon never destroys her treasures, Henderson. We shall leave a record and it'll be preserved in the vacuum of the caves. And the future expeditions you mentioned, they will find it."

Gerald Flood's everyman journalist is a nicely constructed audience avatar but it's missing cheese expert Peter #Williams who gives the orders (and regularly imperils his own children). a lot of fun! well worth seeking out for old tv fans #also needless to say the various miniatures and fx work is frankly adorable. #and shoutout to Prof Mary Meadows‚ it's nice to have a kickass lady scientist in a show this old (and who remains cooler and more capable #than her male counterparts on more than one occasion).

being the youngest person on my team by like 10 years sometimes is REALLY obvious because everyone is talking about home construction and high school kid sports and stuff and my weekly update is “I got a Razor scooter and some new glitter paint”

#sometimes they totally forget I’m this young bc we’re never on video and I’m not volunteering a lot of personal updates bc of reasons #but when I do it’s really funny bc I’m like #‘I learned how to make stir fry today’ #‘I beat a raid in this video game i play’ #‘I got a razor scooter’ #‘the dog now fetches the cat toys so I don’t have to bend down and pick them up’ #‘I tried mangos for the first time’ #‘yesterday I learned what ferries are like’ #‘this weekend I took photographs of local moss’ #and everyone else is like ‘my daughter is home from college’ ‘I have my first grandchild’ ‘the hurricane blew away the port a potty from our #house construction site’ etc etc #personal #someday I’m going to be fully dressed in an actual outfit and do a little makeup and then be on our weekly long team meeting and everyone’s #going to be like YOU’RE Katherine???? You’re what Katherine looks like? you have pink hair and you’re like 17???? #and I’m going to be like well I mean I’m not THAT young but yes I do wear like. young person clothes #I get ’you’re so optimistic!’ from some of them on a regular basis and I’m like #well you see I learned that if I’m not optimistic I will die #and also the world is REALLY FUCKING COOL when you’re not terrified of the world all the time #so frankly I think I’m right to be #I think you maybe need juice and a rest and a bigger support system and then maybe you’ll feel a lot better #meanwhile I’ll be a cheerleader hard enough for both of us

my wishlist for Wonderful Precure

mid season duo that actually transforms together (like Cure Ma Cherie and Cure Amour)

support character that don't have any powers (like Yui from Go Princess)

fairy that transforms into a human

form changes Happiness Charge style

speaking of Happiness Charge I also would love to see each Cure having sub attacks

this time the villain's motives and story have to be more explored and developed

finally I think it would be great it would be Wonderful if we got a group transformation where the Cures actually interact with each other like in Suite

adding this a little later than I originally posted because I just remembered now - I also want to this season to have a evil / bad version of the Cures because I think the concept of evil Cures is so cool ashashsh

#precure #wonderful precure #also I really want to the team to have a great strong and well constructed friendship #one of the things that makes Precure great is seeing the bonds between the protagonists #and the main duo must be a Blossom × Marine or Lovely × Princess kind of duo

I'm honestly not sure why Kishimoto Masashi hasn't done any other stories that isn't Naruto (well, there's Samurai 8, but that ended up cancelled, and Boruto is...well. It's Boruto But Let's Disassemble Boruto's Dad's Canon Until Not Even The Atoms Are Left).

Compared to the high fantasy ninja-cum-borderline-modern-day-cyberpunk aesthetic, Mario was such a breath of fresh air. Maybe not as lived in as Naruto (because it's a forty-four page one-shot, and you can't really afford to waste time on making New York feel "lived in" in that many pages), but it's so grounded in reality that the environment and the foundations of the story are already set in place. It doesn't have to worry about playing with the Magic System or keeping its chronology from getting tangled up in retcons and deus ex machina. It's short, it's simple, and gets right to the point while leaving many of its other elements inferred and in the background.

#as i understand it. or at least it's speculated. that elements of samurai 8 are being carried over to boruto #hence why it's moved away so quickly from naruto's 90s tech to an almost postmodern cyberpunk era #as well as teenage punk and grunge aesthetic that can almost be called dystopian #it's why - for me - boruto has felt less 'ninja fantasy' and more 'urban fantasy but throw in space-faring alien leeches into the mix' #especially with the arrival of two blue vortex #but the problem with the otsutsuki is how utterly last minute they are in canon #w/ no buildup whatsoever #and its timeline is such a mess that a plate of spaghetti looks more coherent #mario doesn't have that problem #it's set in 2003 new york about a guy in the mafia who takes on jobs to earn money for the sake of money #who eventually teams up with a female hitman in order to earn his own territory #there's mention of his late yakuza mother and how the hitman he's working w/ looks like her #as well as his necklace in the shape of the libra's scales that play into his ties between his mother & his partner #BOOM it doesn't waste ANY time faffing around. the plot just gets right to it #it's an interesting little oneshot that unfortunately doesn't really leave room for continuation #due to the way the ending doles out his fate #like. kishimoto has the POTENTIAL for constructing tight storycrafting #we saw this in the minato one-shot recently #he just needs to do what HE wants to do and not try to aim high #a'la try to make it another naruto/boruto #armi reads manga #manga

thank you for recommending Vampire in the garden some time ago, your recs are always good! genuinely enjoyed it despite dead lesbians trope

Yay!! 🥺 Ah I'm very glad you enjoyed it - I know the tragedy of it all is not amazing given the trope history but I felt it did fit the Russian Bleak Tragedy setting they had constructed and tone of the narrative generally enough to not annoy me as much as it would in many other things!

#and I really did like the uniqueness of that constructed setting for an anime or just stories generally #lemurchick #such pressure though one day I'll recommend something bad and everyone will ask why did you recommend that and I'll say well #it's good. to ME. if you squint. um. sorry team #ask #kira for ts

My mom requested fridge art from her daughters. And I'd already sketched one siren a bit after first seeing that one post, but that composition definitely will require the layers afforded by digital painting. So behold! A fire engine and its siren. Not too shabby for both my yellow and red markers giving up the ghost while I wasn't paying attention the last few years.

(This is the first time I've really seen how Tumblr size compression can murder a gif, but it wasn't at all helpful at the 540px width so click for quality.)

I did color in the wipers I'd forgotten and make the emblem on the door slightly more legible while editing my phone pic.

Image descriptions under the cut:

[ID: First image is a colorful drawing of a fire engine seen in three-quarters profile, driving toward camera left. On the roof of the truck's cab is a rough rock formation with a large mermaid lying on it, her tail draped down between the cab and trailer of the truck, her left arm pressing against the rocks, and her head held high while she speaks into a megaphone in her right hand. Her hair streams behind her toward a spiky word bubble with a zigzagged electronic tail that reads, "Get out th'way!" in all-caps. The headlights and amber light bar above the truck windshield are all on and the pavement and traffic lines below are represented with horizontal slashes of marker. The drawing is inked with even, thin black lines (a micron pen size 02) and colored with varied hatching with non-blending markers. On close inspection, the emblem on the fire engine's door reads "escucha las sirenas" in all-caps, Spanish for both "listen to the sirens" and "listen to the mermaids."

Second image is a gif of phone camera pictures showing six stages of the fire engine siren process and the final digital edit. First pencil sketch; second all but the lettering inked; third all but the lettering pencil marks erased; fourth inked word bubble with more emphatic italicized lettering; fifth the beginning layers of marker where the artist took a break with some yellow-orange, light red-orange, light blue, and periwinkle mostly over the truck cab; sixth the fully colored phone picture; and finally the edited shot with the white of the page and vibrancy of the colors restored as well as a coloring in the space around the door emblem with a brighter red for readable contrast. End ID]

#mermaids #sirens #comics #puns #cj gladback #yeah i'm taking full responsibility for this #though without the help of lasso tools and resizing it does feel about as well constructed as #scribblings #as always a little surprised about the speed things can get done in traditional art (at least when your medium doesn't take drying time) #thought about waiting to post this with the tornado siren cause they are funnier together but they're gonna be so visually different #think i'll just link between the posts whenever the other gets done #relatively speedy yes but this did still pretty much take a work day including the edits and gif making #and that's before I decided on a whim to download and try glazing on this #this is the low intensity high render quality and it's interesting because the medium quality apparently failed their test #but it looks like the same amount of aberration for what's visible just a different seed #mostly it's not noticeable through the colorful portions but it makes the paper white look like i painted it with a palette knife #and both high and medium quality look bad around the word bubble so if i were to publish a webcomic and want to protect it #it would be worth asking the glaze team if doing an opacity mask to fade in the original under the glaze around words would ruin everything #speculative fiction #tag you're writ #ramblings #this. post. has. *everything.* #gallery

Batman the Playboy

Justice League, not quite early days but before proper identity reveals, though everyone knows Batman knows theirs, bc he has Opinions™ and Constructive Criticisms™ on their secret-keeping.

The issue is brought up on random occasions. The most notable incident- the Justice League, including Batman, being Drunk for Bonding, and Batman, in a fit of paranoid good intentions because he CARES about these idiots, damnit, why must they be so careless, starts insulting them.

Batman, leaning heavily on the table: “GL, you’re a mess, I don’t even know where to start with you. And Arrow! Your goatee is so distinctive, it’s a wonder no one has called you out on it-“

Green Arrow, also drunk: “Alright, there’s no need to insult my awesome facial hair-”

Batman, in despair: “It’s so ugly.”

Green Arrow: (offended noises)

Green Lantern: “Okay, the only reason you know our secret identities is because you’re a rude nosy bastard who needs to know everything about us like a creepy stalker who needs an ego boost! We’re not stupid, Spooky, we’re just polite. We could figure you out easily if we wanted to. Superman can see right through your mask!”

Usually, Batman would have a good response to that. Something smart and reasonable like “villains won’t care for your privacy, I’m testing you,” or something cutting like “I don’t care enough about you to go digging, I set your secret identity as a training exercise for Robin.”

However, Batman is Drunk, because for some reason imbibing drugs that dampen higher brain function is socially acceptable and often, for some reason, expected, because it’s “team bonding” and “come on just loosen up a bit.” (Also for him, drunk=Brucie)

So what Batman ends up saying is: “I could kiss you full on the lips in my secret identity and you wouldn’t know a thing.”

Superman, plucking the glass from Batman’s hand: “Aaaand that is enough alcohol for you!”

Batman nods. Thank God. He wants to go home and sleep. But first: “Superman, yours is so stupid it’s almost impressive-”

———

Of course, Green Lantern has smelled a challenge. And Green Lantern must annoy Batman. It’s his true superpower. So, the next time they meet (sober) he brings up the issue again.

GL: “So about what you said at the party… the part where you could kiss us full on the lips without us knowing. You still confident in that without liquid courage, Spooky? Bet you your real name you can’t do it.”

Batman, regretting the fact that alcohol has ever passed his lips: “I could do it, but I will not.”

Flash, curious: “Why’s that?”

Batman: “Informed Consent. I will not risk making any of you feel violated, or manipulated, for the sake of a stupid bet and my ego.”

GA, still offended by the goatee comment, trying to back Batman into a corner: “So if we give consent, we’re fair game? Try me, Batman. Even you can’t pull this off. Anyone else game?”

Some of the Justice League laughs, raising their hands.

Flash: “Come get me, hot stuff! I’ll call you out!”

Wonder Woman: “It could be amusing.”

Martian Manhunter: “I would be far too difficult a target.”

Green Arrow: “Not just you. C’mon, Spooky, flirting well enough to get a kiss from me? I’m a classy lady.”

Black Canary: “D-class, maybe.”

Superman, wants a kiss in on the fun: 🙋🏻‍♂️

“So that’s it then!” Green Lantern says smugly. “Batman, if you can kiss… how many people raised their hands? Ah yes- HALF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE, without anyone realizing it’s you, then you win.”

Batman scoffs and walks out, leaving the Justice League in stitches at their joke. Because- Batman? Being good enough at flirting to land a kiss on half the league, without it being forced or awkward, without them recognizing his body language, his voice, his build? How ridiculous!

The Batman is Autistic. The Batman does not understand jokes, especially not ones that are half truths. The Batman has consent, and something to prove.

And Bruce Wayne, billionaire, playboy, and sexy DILF, has targets.

(Please tell me how you think he gets each League member.)

Edit: there have been a bunch of awesome additions in the notes! My own take here.

#a few months later GL brings it up #like ‘ha ha remember funny joke’ #batman: ‘…joke?’ #justice league #😳 #yes joke #autistic batman #batman #brucie wayne #justice leauge shennanigans #batman the playboy
