This Twitter MLP human redesign drama is a mess, leave me the fuck out of it.

#saw people posting my designs to put down other artists' designs saying that i'm the “correct way” of doing things #don't do that #i don't give a SHIT if people are redesigning these HORSES to be fat or “”“ugly”“” people they're all valid #this whole thing is so dumb just say “i don't like the art style” and move on #“hey op i spent 4 hours of time and effort to redraw your shitty redesign and show you how it's really done” you're fucking weird #you know that right? dedicating that much time to cash in on a hate trend when you could be creating something unique and original with lov #your insistence that human redesigns need to be attractive and symmetrical and anything deviating that is woke psy-op brainwashing #is fucking weird. saw an entire tweet reposting my designs listing off how i “got it right.” bullet point: “looks like real people” #the black fat pinkie design with braces that went viral looks more like a real person than any of my designs you asshole #or maybe you spent too much time in high school bullying people who look like that to notice #personal #delete later #do not use my art to belittle artists who've done nothing wrong this legit made me really angry today

the pathologic Kin is largely fictionalized with a created language that takes from multiple sources to be its own, a cosmogony & spirituality that does not correlate to the faiths (mostly Tengrist & Buddhist) practiced by the peoples it takes inspirations from, has customs, mores and roles invented for the purposes of the game, and even just a style of dress that does not resemble any of these peoples', but it is fascinating looking into specifically to me the sigils and see where they come from... watch this:

P2 Layers glyphs take from the mongolian script:

while the in-game words for Blood, Bones and Nerves are mongolian directly, it is interesting to note that their glyphs do not have a phonetic affiliation to the words (ex. the "Yas" layer of Bones having for glyph the equivalent of the letter F, the "Medrel" layer of Nerves having a glyph the equivalent of the letter È,...)

the leatherworks on the Kayura models', with their uses of angles and extending lines, remind me of the Phags Pa Script (used for Tibetan, Mongolian, Chineses, Uyghur language, and others)

some of the sigils also look either in part or fully inspired by Phags Pa script letters...

some look closer to the mongolian or vagindra (buryat) script

looking at the Herb Brides & their concept art, we can see bodypainting that looks like vertical buryat or mongolian script (oh hi (crossed out: Mark) Phags Pa script):

shaped and reshaped...

#not sure how much. what's the word. bond? involvement? not experience. closeness? anyone in the team has with any of these cultures #but i recall learning lead writer is indigenous in some way & heavily self-inserts as artemy [like.

Yukio haters are some of the funniest people out there. Mostly because they're often Rin fans I swear and that influences a lot of their takes. They're so upset that a character has deep flaws and isn't a literal sunshine baby to Rin. They take it so personally like he's a real person.

Even then it's frustrating because they reduce Rin down to nothing. He too has some deep flaws that make Yukio andhim butt heads. And sometimes Yukio's anger at him is justified! Rin never takes the situation he's in seriously until it's too late. And by that point Yukio's already in deeper with other issues. Them butting heads isn't because Yukio's an ass only. It's because they're both refusing to listen to one another and actually speak on their problems.

It's totally more on Yukio's end with his own problems being much stronger. But neither are these perfect angels. They're interesting characters that have deep issues with each other. And they're just starting to work it out. There's going to be bumps in the road, but Yukio is trying his best in the recent chapters. And so is Rin.

It's just turned form frustrating to funny now to see people get upset at Yukio. I would rather him be the mess he is than be the actual perfect character type he's a deconstruction of. It wouldn't be aoex without him and boy would it be so boring.

#ao no exorcist #blue exorcist #rin okumura #yukio okumura #i don't even like yukio #he's pretty low on my list of characters #not because he's a bad one but i find others more interesting #it's just been weird to see people keep getting weirdly mad at him #when he's not even real! #he's a fictional character! #flaws are important for a character or else they're boring #would we be excited to read aoex if it didn't have these two brothers bonking heads constantly??? #i tend to ignore the haters but they've just been louder lately #like damn sorry kato knows how to write a story with actual conflict

very sad still see the saria/silence divorce headcanon still going around

have you ever tried to consider that they never dated before lone trail because it would be unrealistic with the timeline and the events and also because it would be overshadowing the actual truth of why they couldn't get along

#i'll elaborate #firstly it's ok if you headcanon this i don't want to invalidate what people think #it's just that I think it's a fanon joke that have been going around for way too long #and I can't help but shed a small tear when I see people really headcanoning it #I personally think it's way more interesting if we consider that they never had something going on before Lone Trail #mostly because it's weird that they started dating in like some months when they barely knew or saw each other #but also because it adds nothing but just makes things even more harder for them #my personal headcanon is that Silence was maybe having feelings for Saria but like #you know these very premature feelings #like just “oh wow she's pretty and nice” #but nothing like really deep #but they never had anything going on before the diabolic crisis #and after lone trail after they made up and saw each other's true person #they start to actually get real feelings #I'm just complaining but I've been still seeing it around somehow and it's sad to me that this joke became a fact for many people #there's still a lot of fanfics about how they had been dating and now they're on bad terms #I think that going on the “they're exes” route is way too easy and actually hides the potential and interesting reason #of why Silence was mad at Saria #it's not because she hates Saria or blame her #it's because she's mad at herself for being so weak #really making them appear as exes just hides this really interesting truth and makes it all seem to be a sad love story #consider that they never had any of this and that this tension between them is because they blame themselves!! #their story is not a love story but above all a story about self love and acceptance #just my two cents enjoy my rambling i go back to bed now #(not putting this in the main tag I don't want to start a war I'm just rambling)

The thing about rhaenyra's kids is they're so clearly manufactured to make you go aww omg so cuteeeee wholesome little cinnamon rolls too good for this world too pure 🥺 I've only had them for 2 episodes but if anything happens to them I'll riot!!! They're like made in a factory for people whose 'favorite characters keep dying 2 seconds after they're introduced' and it kinda pisses me off I'm like I know what you're doing you want me to like these artificially cute children you've given me no other option. I cant dislike them I'll look like an insane person well dont tell me what to do bitch I'll hate on these infants as much as I want suck my dick -_- show me a little freak if you want me to go awww

#.txt #posts written by an insane person #im mostly joking but for real I aggressively do not care about them #'aw look at rhaenyras cute little family 🥺' BORING I hope the baby explodes #this is also how I feel about most asoiaf bg children I do not gaf about shireen I'm sorry #like they gotta be a bit weird for me to like them #tommen and myrcella get a pass bc they're incest babies which is gross to think about #they should be put down frankly they're disgusting little freaks. but they're so cuteee awwww

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

K, you know what? I'm gonna say it. I think this new Julian character should date Bart. I don't typically have preferences when it comes to shipping (and tbh if Bart got another love interest I'd be for it too) but I think DC should confirm Bart as Queer and that's sure as fuck not happening without a love interest (unless they pull a Hawke which I would love but unfortunately life isn't that nice to me)

DC isn't gonna fuck with other 'families' so they'd either keep the love interest in house or make up a new person but uhhhhh Jules is honorary Flash fam and a Force user. And a Central resident. Dude does rodeo shows. Jules is a country boy. Bart is a country boy.

I just, I don't know, I think it'd work!

Also I don't want Julian to have the same fate as Jess and Hartley and literally only get featured during pride month. Setting up a mini series or something would be good for the character I think. I really like Jules and I want him to stick around and be in stuff.

#Bart's most common love interests are Carol Preston Tim Kon and Ed #but Carol and Preston haven't shown up since Impulse and likely won't unless Impulse comes back #Tim has his own thing going on and Kon would require DC making ALL of YJ queer. because lets be real Cassie is an Amazon #and idk if dc would do that? after Justice League Queer idk if i WANT them to do that. theyd be weird about it i think #and Ed is great in YJA but in the comics him and Bart haven't met and he's a different guy #so I'd love it but i don't think itd work. kinda like how Jackson falls flat when compared to Kaldur'ahm #its just different and it won't be the same you know? #so yeah i think Bart just needs a new person and hey! here's a Central City resident with a Flash obsession with similar and opposite #powers! its great! #they're the same age and I think itd be great #but thats just my two cents on it #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #impulse #bart allen

what's with these weird accounts that reblog spop critical posts with captions that basically sound like bots?

total drama horror au where after the "contestants" were chosen, chris kidnapped them and dumped them on an island to compete in death games against each other whilst broadcasting it to the masses livestream style. they're forced to comply with their "host" or else their food/living accommodations are stripped away and they're left to fend for themselves in the forest, but participating in the challenges is arguably more dangerous.

each elimination ceremony is taken to it's literal extreme, as the voted out player is just straight up executed on the spot.

the audience think it's some sort of ARG type deal at first, with the campers being actors, but eventually- probably by the first on-screen death- people catch on to it being Very Real.

(chris funds this little 'project' himself mr beast style using his vast amount of tv star wealth, so there's no network/producers that he has to answer to.)

#i imagine the stream isn't on 24/7 but they ARE being recorded even when the footage isn't live #at first the viewers are like “woah this is some impressive acting. how has no one broken character yet?" #especially when. say. cody gets mauled by a bear on stream. people are like “those are impressive SFX 😲” #because they're under the assumption that these are just Really Good Method Actors. chris is transparent about what's going on from-- #the start but the audience thinks it's all fake because Who In Their Right Mind Would Actually Do That Sort Of Thing (chris would) #eventually people start to catch on that it Isn't Fake and that these kids really are in REAL DANGER 🤯😬 #also the challenges are less summer campy and more actively fatal. (the cliff dive stays the same though) #au ends when a rescue operation finally tracks down the island and evacs the survivors (Sanders and MacArthur cameo❓) #it's giving a weird fusion of squid game and danganronpa #i mean he essentially does this in canon anyway what with none of them anticipating being at camp wawanakwa #total drama #total drama au #kinda drafty in here (posts from the drafts)

unsure how to word this but there is something about having ocs with unsavory events happening in their past where it's like. talking about it, even when asked, seems almost gratuitous and inappropriate. and i'd much rather describe it through the oc themself and/or draw Them saying it. which is like. fitting for the subject matter? like of course its weird to talk about somebody else's business...!

and falls back into humanizing em/exploratory writing and development where u consider the impact of words said/words unsaid/HOW those words are said etc etc

#because not all real persons would give u every detail of their trauma obviously #which makes sense but im an overexplainer but also it feels inappropriate to overexplain when it comes to dis #i hope that makes sense #talkys #i once described what went down with al as just directly as possible and it still felt weird. ykwim?? idk why. #well i do know why! i dont want it to seem gratuitous or like That Cheap Writing Element. fine line #same with talon so he'll just keep implying it thru text + dialogue which is how it should be ! #the only difference is i think with al i wrote it like he would've said it bc he has more access to that side of himself #and is aware of how it affected him #whereas characterwise talon absolutely would just speak in riddles about and around it #i don't even think he's conscious about the direct effects of it #(but i wouldnt know bc he hasn't made that known to me in my brain) #people respond differently to different things and all that #also im so sorry if half the shit ive said recently is so like. Well Duh. i havent made a new oc in a decade gimme a break LOL #also i realize the. irony? of me even vaguely talking about it in the way i did but 1. i think that's also realistic when you #dont want to do a whole deep dive on someone else's business and 2. people are becoming #curious about my oc(s) and im just thinking about well; significant events and how to handle not speaking about em #FOR them. <- weirdly #idk. they're real to me. #its just so much more interesting to leave it up to them! people can lie people can downplay

steven moffat has a lot to answer for in his poor writing of women but his worst crime is what he did to river song

he took a very cool and interesting woman with an unexplored plotline that had limitless potential and turned her into another of his two-dimensional sexy-woman-who-could-shoot-you archetypes. her plotline also falls victim one of his repeated attempts to craft an exciting mystery with a plot twist which ended up being needlessly convoluted and somehow condescending almost, by neglecting to give river her own meaningful journey and centring her existence around creating puzzles for the doctor to solve

#it makes me so angry #in silence of the library and forest of the dead she's so full of life and feels real #she has depth and her own motivations #and in the eleventh doctor's seasons it feels like all character has been stripped away and she's just a plot point #clara amy river madame kovarian and the mistress feel like a continuum of the exact same character #the main difference is how likely they are to wear dark lipstick #they're all the same flavour of 'im smarter than you but flirty about it' #same thing with moffat's irene adler honestly #anyway im annoyed about it #he basically turned her into another personification of his own weird fantasy woman and it sucks #doctor who #river song #anti steven moffat #xbec

I got these shoes from someone recently but thought they were way too plain looking, so I set out on a quest to customize them with some sharpies and charms and miscellaneous ribbon I had in my craft drawers. Mostly sky themed (clouds, rainbows, rain, stars, etc.) because that's my favorite aesthetic, but I had to include some cat imagery as well, of course lol.

#also honestly had NO IDEA that real converse have that star logo on the INSIDE not the outer part??? why the hell would you want it on the #inner portion where nobody can see it?? my entire life I always would have sworn it was on the outer facing portion.. #I think these would be perfect IF they were just slightly taller (top part higher above ankles instead of just weird hard material digging #right into your ankle whenever you walk) and if they were actual good platforms. they're so short. It's good that 'chunky' shoes are gettin #more popular as they've always been my favorite Look ever since I had these shoes with roller skates that pop out of thebottom (not heelys. #but like. before those. it was two whole entire roller skate wheels like a normal pair of roller skates) and the bottoms were so tall and #clunky and it made my feet look giant (because it had.. entire wheels in the bottom pockets lol). so #I've alwatys been into the aesthetic but . still I find a lot of the 'brands jumping on trend' are too short of platforms #OR they're plafrorms with a raised back/heel/wedge which to me is not aesthetically good and also makes them exceptionally uncomfortable to #wear compared to just plain completely flat chunky platform bottoms. ANYWAY.. if these shoes had a 3 or 4 inch platform I think they'd be #cooler. however for what they are it's still fine! and I like them more now that they actually have some sort of anything to them and #aren't just plain white. The weird thing is that the material it's made out of (maybe some sort of leather or something) absorbs sharpie? #the color changes over time. You draw a mark and then leave it for a few days and it either fades into being barely there or has changed #colors. so I had to go back in and redo parts. ALSO the shoe chains are so funny because I did NOT have the right tools for them #I don't have the stuff to make bracelets or open and close the little rings. they're held onto the shoe with just safety pins and the actua #little rung things that hold the charms on half of them are like broken or the metal is just jam smushed together bent and warped hhbjhjhb #I actually like the back a lot where there's the irridecent star thing hot glued on there. it's cool and shiny. and the clouds #are sparkly on the main parts of the shoe though I'm not sure how well it shows up in pictures #ANYWAY... shoegs..... If I were rich this is one of the things I would definitely custom order from craftsman #why would I spend like thousands of dollars on plain ass shoes that are just expensive because they're a Luxury Brand when I could literall #like pay people to create me custom shoes to my exact specifications?? I could have like 5 inch flat platform boots with fur andclouds #and cat shaped holes in the bottom with LEDs in them with pom pom and charms and etc. etc. etc. Like as gaudy and excessively over #decorated as I want lol.. AND they could have skates in the bottom somehow!! ghjgbhjb #this on top of all the custom wizard costumes and period clothing I would order.. Like i LOVE customizing things. I love everything in my l #life being as particualr as possible and cultivating every experience I have to meticulously meet my own specific criteria as much #as is possible. If I had the money to I would never buy something from a store again. EVERYTHING I owned from furniture to clothing #would be either made by me - or mostly - comissioned from craftsmen. custom tiles for my floors. custom bed. custom table. #even like. custom toilet. custom sinks. etc. etc. ouGGH... but yeah.. anyway... shoes..

I’ve had a lot of infuriating shit happen to me over the course of my silly little life, but I do think I’ve pinned down the single most impossibly frustrating thing in the whole world.

“Wow, you have amazing coping mechanisms. This is remarkable, you've compensated for your disability so well that you're not even disabled really. I don't think you need medicine or help for it at all since you do so well!”

I’m not saying that abusing neurodivergent children works, but it does insomuch as the ones that survive the process turn out capable of functioning at levels no one should ever expect of anything ever. I can absolutely operate at 200% efficiency, sometimes for weeks, but it is illogical and cruel to expect that from me as the baseline. 

#o thx they're so good on account of i'm alive #if i didn't have them i would be dead already #also it turns out my OCD is not subclinical #it is just pure o #which uh does not really show so it's rarely diagnosed #and like not to make my notes a primer on how ocd works but ocd works bad #compulsions look kinda weird and scary but they help #like compulsions are actually coping mechanisms #and my one actual compulsive behavior is so nice #see i got hit by a car once at a crosswalk #not super bad or nothing #i bruised up my hip and elbow real bad but i was fine #the car did not even stop to check on me #so now i have to hit the crosswalk button three times #or tap three times before crossing the street #i can do it six if i have to #nine is the best #seven is only if i'm praying for something #but the point is when i do that weird thing i do? #i'm no longer full of obsessive thoughts about cars hitting me #i'm safe because i did the ritual #it is compulsive behavior #it isn't bad or disruptive #i'm also terrified of movie theatres now #because my mom died when my phone was off for a prescreened movie #so i just don't go in theatres #if i do then my sibling will get cancer #which thank you so much covid 19 #now i don't even have to think about this one #but the other ones?

new sketchbook who this

what it says in the tin, got a new sketchbook today :) it's thicker and rougher paper than what i usually use which is slightly annoying because it tends to smudge a lot more and has a rougher look, but it's still good paper and i find it nice to draw on!!

every so often i fall back into my DDLC phase and start rewatching a bunch of analysis videos on the characters. they're like my comfort background noise to listen to. Monika's one of my favourite characters and i find her fun to draw!!

(ignore the sudden lighting change idk why that happened)

Splatoon was, like, a childhood hyperfixation of mine, mainly because the character designs and the music go hard. like, they literally please the autism so much, it's like a stim just looking at the characters and listening to the soundtrack!!! the design of the Inkling girl was always my favourite as a kid because look at her! she's so cool looking!! i love all the colours and i love the texture of the characters' hair and their ears literally make me so happy and they are SO fun to draw. i would chew on an octoling's hair like a dog toy if i could it looks so chewable

#sketch #ddlc #ddlc monika #splatoon #inkling girl #my favourite splatoon characters are usually the ones that please the autism the most #marie marina and frye are my favourites out of the idols just because their designs go so hard #i also really love dedf1sh's design they're so cool #the hair in splatoon looks so chewy though. like. surely i am not the only person who- #-thinks the splatoon hair looks yummy. i wanna chew on it #if inklings and octolings were real i would just eat their hair #they would all go bald because i eated all the hair #anyway enough about eating hair #monika is so pretty. like. she is actually so beautiful and i love drawing her #how dare team salvato make such lovely character designs that i start questioning my sexuality for a moment /j #no but like the ddlc characters are so pretty drawing them is so fun #i like drawing them in a semi-realistic more detailed anime style because it just makes them look cosy #especially sayori #i love drawing sayori with more modest rounded hair it makes her look so cosy and friendly :) #these tags are so weird #i mean it is currently 12 am at the time of writing this because i wasnt paying attention to the clock- #-and i'm just writing a stream of consciousness right now but also why am i going on about- #-eating splatoon hair for like 5 tags wtf #im gonga go to bed goodnight :)

Your swsh art always makes me want to replay the game because i love it and its my favorite pokemon game and every time i play another pokemon game i think of it how i miss certain elements from swsh. Then i boot up the game and im once again caught in the 1 hour 40 minutes hand held intro and im like ah- now i remember why i have been playing other pokemon games instead of this one. Happy (late?) birthday!

you don't want to listen to hop? you don't want to hear him teach you about type matchups? you don't wanna let him cheer u on...? 🥺 waa....?

#ask #bakuspeech #I am joking to be clear lmao #thank u happy bday to me !! #tbh I got real used to pokemon overexpositioning since sumo lol. it's kind of a boon for me #cause I'm not a Gamer™ and my brain takes stuff on Very slowly #so the tutorial stuff and the cutscenes give me time to catch up. also it's still fun to see these guys run around #I am in fact here for these guys lol. weird thing to say about the game built on and with an essential focus on the pokemon I know #I just like humans! I just like watching hop running circles around my player character all excited #and leon being a dick to his hometown people when they're expecting 'leon' back and they get the champion instead #and you get to see sonia used to dealing with it but the frustration never fully fades and how close she is to hop and that picture's bleak #listen this is my bread&butter lol. leon really doesn't show up That much himself around the game he's a shadow casted over the story #it's always interesting to me! does Not mean it's not sluggish to other people who want to play the game lmao #but I like it. also the tutorial at least the first time around was necessary to me bc the difficulty scales way up later on lol #it's a very good first pokemon game I maintain this. sumo never managed to teach me the same way swsh did #I still care drampa tho thank u drampa for being real I love u #lmao it feels like saying I'm not a Gamer™ violates some tenets of having adhd somehow. but its just the case here #the main genres I play are 'itch games tangential to the haunted ps1 people' and 'popcap-style casual games' #my sport's figuring out shapes n movin my stylus sadly. well not sadly why would that be sad

[anghraine]

Sometimes it's interesting to be a firm agnostic but also to feel a strong attraction to the concept of the sacred and/or mystical. I'm not sure attraction is even the right word—but art that leans into a sense of sanctity or mysticism is intensely appealing to me in a very fundamental way, especially when coupled with a sense of grandeur or glory. And ritual, I love a good religious ritual.

My family's religious background is Mormon, Catholic, and Greek Orthodox, so it's not really surprising. But it's like, despite the standard religious damage, and despite being deeply skeptical of anything smacking of the supernatural, I love entering the headspace of characters with a strong religious sensibility, I love visual art caught up in the sacred, I love fiction that can give you a sense of the mystical in ritual, I love when I'm expected to believe there's something sanctified in a building or relic or rock (real or not), I love visual or narrative art that can truly evoke a sense of the divine.

At the same time, I don't believe it. Nor do I wholly disbelieve it, I'm just like ... eh, idk, this is not in the realm of knowable information. But damn do I feel the appeal of religious conviction.

(This whole train of thought got started because I was thinking about how much I love playing clerics, lol. Anyway)

#that led quickly to thinking about how it affects how i read tolkien who can evoke evil or sanctity or mysticism /so/ satisfyingly #when people dismiss the silmarils as shiny rocks i'm like 'but they're SACRED shiny rocks. that's DIFFERENT.' #their light is divine and they were hallowed after that!! that's special. like the light of elwing's silmaril in the phial of galadriel? #there's a whole spiritual dimension to that! and the spontaneous aiya eärendil elenion ancalima... #i eat up that shit with a spoon tbh #but it's not real to me irl. it's... tropes and imagery that itches something in my brain the way conlangs do #which does feel weird coming from a deeply religious family background #anghraine babbles #cw religion #anghraine's tropes
