is the way of the house hero a reference to what i think it is …

IT SURE IS

Long before I started writing fanfiction, I had a talent for the subtle art of image manipulation (read: making shitpost memes in a pirated copy of photoshop)

A reread of The Way of the Househusband, Fullmetal Alchemist (Ed is peak retired househusband goals) and a fundamental need to give Aizawa a post-canon ending where he just gets to vibe led to the creation of one of my finest shitposts

The fic itself is the final installment of the Nine Lives Extended Universe, and there's not that much of it written yet, so it's basically just a dumping ground for ideas right now.

Aizawa adopts Eri. Shinsou keeps finding stray cats and dumping them on him. Aizawa gets to make mom friends. Etcetera.

Yayyy sun in a spring yayyy

I live in Florida and I like to go to the springs and swim and it's so easy to picture mermaids swimming around in them (especially since people with those silicone tails swim around in them sometimes)

Sketch under cut woo

For how much Machete is described by others as off-putting, he really is a beautiful dog. Does Vasco ever tell him so? That his eyes make him look earnest, his fur the most comforting shade of white like cream, the way his ears catch light like stained glass? If someone doesn't tell him so, he'd forever think he was ugliest duckling

I think Vasco definitely tries, sincerely and often, but Machete is very reluctant to accept compliments and positive feedback. Especially if it's about something as personal and innate as his looks.

#he quietly spends a lot of time and effort trying to make himself look his best so appearances aren't a trivial thing for him #he's always very clean and neat and presentable #except on those occasions when he's soaked in blood but that's totally besides the point #white fur is kind of high maintenance any tiny bit of dirt or staining becomes an eyesore and if it dries it may be hard to remove #he bathes very frequently way more than average considering the time period #some of the outfits he wears are worth more than the combined lifetime earnings of like six generations of his family #silk was outrageously expensive and the brightest red dye came from pulverized cochineal insects that had to be imported from America #which had been colonized less than a century ago so those tiny little cactus bugs were really troublesome to get and the demand was huge #he doesn't quite have the nerve to wear perfume despite it's widespread popularity at the time #but he makes sure the smell of frankincense burned during church services sticks to his fur and clothes #in general when you spend your entire life around strict emotionally congested highly religious men #you might not end up developing a very healthy self-esteem or body image #once you've internalized that sense of inferiority it's hard to unlearn it #he's so thirsty for approval and praise but when he receives some he immediately gets uncomfortable and distrustful and vaguely angry #he absolutely struggles to compliment people back as well at least on any meaningful and personal level so there's that #answered #anonymous #Machete

Got up early (for me), ate a light and healthy breakfast, applied to some jobs, took a long mental health walk with the dogs, gave one of them a bath, and even did some phone calls and messaging regarding my medication and pharmacy problems and managed to sort it out without breaking down!!! And! Showered!! Kicking ASS at mental health today

#im studying myself like a bug. with no judgement or compulsive self hate when i see the results. and then doing something different based on #those results #and its working #ive noticed that im much more productive when i have someone else to help or listen to. its a little uh sad because im not easily able to #to take care of myself and do things for MYSELF. but if its for someone else then its like i gain momentum #going out to clean out MY car? well i dont care how gross it is im not worth the effort. #cleaning out my car for my brother who i drive to therapy every other week? fuck yes its going to be nice and clean because therapy is impo #rtant and i want to help you stick with it and so we make it not a chore but lighthearted sibling time #like do you get it #anyway slow progress is still progress #the number of good days are slowly catching up to the number of bad days #post beginning of the pandemic 2020 was so brutal on me. moving back in with my parents especially #but i have a plan now . a real one. and friends to help me as well ! #oops rambling in the tags haha #long tags

You alive?

Hardly-

Right now I'm knee deep in projects that I'm trying desperately to catch up on :')

3 are private/personal projects that are on a time limit so I'm doing my best to blast through them so I can work on the project that I really want to work on which is Moon Malfunction-

But then another comic project just got added and I usually brush these ones off as I have been doing recently but this one is important and I really wanna do it but I'm so caught up with everything else that I have no energy to work on it and to make things worse its been EXTREMELY hot where I live and I cant handle any level of heat so I'm melting on the couch trying to get these projects done but I have no energy with this heat and I ju

#my response #I realize I've never actually properly addressed those projects with you guys #mostly because they're personal and I thought they would be done by now #anyways I'm mentioning it now- #I have 3 big projects that are taking all my time and energy #any posts that I have made recently have been quick stress relief drawings to get me back on the horse- #I'M FINE BTW! #Dont worry this is stressful but they are wonderful projects and well worth my time and effort #As soon as they are done and this SUDDEN COMIC PROJECT is done my FNAF au will be back in focus :) 👍

haikyu's dumpster batte is only going to be around 1 hour and 24 minutes, oh it's genuinely bokuakaover

#knowing that we're likely not going to get an ova too is painful <//3 #m sorry to go off on a bit of a tangent #but I can't help but feel bitter that an actually good series with coherence and amazing characters just gets treated like this #and series like jjk and demon slayer get to have such good adaptations? #I don't hate both series btw as I watch them myself but even I have more criticisms in their story and charas compared to hq #jjk at this rate is being carried by satosugu shippers and popularity the story honestly is slowly losing substance :'DD #and it's disappointing such a series manages to get to have a consistent adaptation vs a good and inspiring story #which is why I can't help but feel <//3 whenever ppl rant about the jjk animation cause it's better than the hq treatment TvT #don't get me started on demon slayer I have mixed feelings about that series as well but I love it for what it's worth xD #and if people say the hq fandom is being bitter or biased isn't it justifiable? #a consistent and amazing narrative gets butchered me thinks people have a right to feel the way they do #naturally the fandom is not downplaying the efforts of the animators and voice actors but we also have a right to feel the way we do #we feel the way we do out of genuine love for a series that inspired and helped us so much #it's just so unfair TvT #m terribly sorry again for ranting and dropping negativity but I feel really disheartened about this news #and not simply cause ofc we won't get the bokuaka match #but also because my favorite series doesn't deserve this #eli rambles #bokuaka #haikyu #haikyuu #haikyu!! #hq

hot take moment cwilbur is literally just psychotic as all hell and i think people got way too comfortable villianizing the shit out of a man who was clearly portraying signs of severe mental illness. cwilbur was like im so fucking paranoid and scared and i think everyone is out to get me and hurt me and ive spiralled to the point i cant reach out to the people closest to me because im so afraid and lost in this spiral and im having constant panic attacks and hurting myself because i dong know what to do with myself and the only way out for me is to die. and everybody was like EVIL MAN WHO ENJOYS HURTING OTHERS AND IS ABUSIVE ON PURPOSE AND A VILLAIN AND SHOULD NEVER BE TRUSTED AGAIN. and then he came back and was like im still deeply troubled and afraid but im desperately trying to make up for the wrongs i did in the past and the people i hurt in my own way and communication is really hard for me but i hope people know that im truely sorry and i love them. im going to try my hardest to fix this in the only way i know how and then respectfully remove myself from the situation because i feel thats the kindest thing i can do to the people ive hurt. and people were like ABUSER ABUSER ABUSER EVIL MAN ABUSER. like girl

Yeah no based true real no questions asked

I'd hope I manage to portray Wilbur the way he deserves in my content, cause that man is heavily bpd coded and he just needs therapy and someone who genuinely loves him but also can handle his bullshit (which has exclusively and reliably been Quackity like, canonically)

But yeah no completely agreed. The man has issues and has definitely fucked up a lot but at the end of the day he really does need love and care and patience, but also boundaries (and therapy and meds, obviously)

#i deeeefinitely have no reason to have strong feelings about bpd bitches deserving love and care and stability ha ha nooo it's definitely- #-not like I've been dating one for well over 4 years now and even though we've been through so much shit together and I still can't- #-understand why people with bpd and conditions that have similar symptoms are so demonised. It just makes no sense to me. #my bf is the love of my life and i can't imagine /not/ supporting it through all the splitting and episodes and all of that cause they're- #-absolutely worth everything #i don't know not to be too gay on main but tbf it's too late now anyway i think-- #is it unstable? sure. but it's also the most caring and loving person i've ever been close with and it always makes sure i'm ok #and it loves me so undeniably deeply no matter what purely for who i am #i've never had anyone care about me this much and this genuinely and this unconditionally - it'd always be what /they/ can get out of /me/ #but my boyfriend just cares about me - the actual me - no matter if i'm acting how it imagined i'd act. what matters is if i'm /me/ #listen bpd isn't sunshine and rainbows - we've been through some TERRIBLE shit (including s-cide attempts) #but when people claim it makes a relationship toxic/abusive it's so stupid cause ultimately with mutual love support and reassurance- #-and professional help you can have a genuinely happy and healthy life with someone with bpd #love isn't mean to be easy. it's meant to be safe and supportive and genuine but a relationship always takes effort and work on both sides #you should never sacrifice your well being of course! #but when love takes effort and extra care it doesn't inherently mean it's unhealthy or toxic or abusive. it just means you're people. #tldr if you love someone then don't care about some diagnosis - care about the actual perso. #ask #asks #ask fern #tntduo #dsmp #tnt duo #wilbur soot #quackity #quackbur #dream smp #tntblr #c!quackbur #c!tntduo

this thing is my pride and joy i've had it for like 8 years and it's still in pretty decent condition, just a few little scratches and the circle pad rubber came off. as you can tell i modded it and the custom badges are super fun :]

my favourite games are pokemon black 2, kirby triple deluxe (i've 100% this game 4 times), shin megami tensei iv and pokemon ultra moon. ive downloaded way more games than shown on here but i have an 8gb sd card so i can only have a few big games at a time

blue pokemon X & Y o3DSXL

#submission #3ds post #3ds inspo #xy blue o3dsxl #cfw #i'd highly recommend getting an upgraded card- it'll cost you like 15~20 bucks to get a 128gb SD card now- which is well worth the cost. #saves a lot of effort yk? #also the custom badges??? adorable! #what is it with people and putting all of their games and stuff within folders and their applications on the homescreen? #i did the opposite LOL.. i wanna show off my games and hide the boring stuff

You've mentioned that rarely Swanatello's family is unable to come visit him. What would make it so that they couldn't?

Overall, they're very on top of coming to see Swannie and making sure someone is with him at just about all times, but there have been one or two occasions when things have popped up-- and even then, it's not that the family didn't come to visit him for the day, but rather that they were delayed. Think things along the lines of "X villain is doing something completely fucking batshit and we need all hands on deck to make sure no one dies and get things under control before we can go visit" and/or just simple miscommunication about what the plan is. It should also be noted that they are currently almost entirely reliant on Leo to portal them over to the Lake. If Leo is incapacitated or occupied for whatever reason and can't portal them over... then they can't visit.

#it doesnt happen often but it does happen #and they all always feel awful when it does #but it can be hard making sure that they ALWAYS have at least ONE PERSON with donnie #they'll do it absolutely without question because it's 1000% worth it to make sure donnie is ok #and to get to spend time with him #but its not without its challenges and occasionally they drop the ball a little #despite their best efforts #also almost... all of them have long-term injuries/lasting effects from the invasion still #mikey was gonna go but his hands are spasming really bad today so they send someone else but they have to make sure mikey is okay first #and that its safe to leave him alone #if raph is having a panic attack splinter cant just walk away to go sit with donnie instead until hes sure red is alright #is leo having a panic attack? flashbacks? disassociating? otherwise incapacitated? #well then they cant go visit #it doesnt matter if someone else is good to go #they cant portal over without leo and if hes not able to make a portal then it is what it is #swanatello asks #asks #anon

"Would you like to come hunting with me, Reek? Maybe try holding the rein and sit close to me? You would've wanted to leech my warmth."

ink, watercolor, gouache and extensive editing in digital

#my art #fanart #my fanart #thramsay #traditional art #this one was tough... the watercolor phase has the values all messed up and blended together #but perseverance through a bad piece for a decent result is worth the effort sometimes #whipped out my gouache pencil colors and everything to save this piece #i'm happy with the result. the dulled color of gouache rly lends itself well to atmosphere #what a date. horse riding with your master #he'll use you as the bait tho

Murderbot has taken up permanent residence in my heart and soul, so here's a lovingly crafted playlist in its honor <3

#the murderbot diaries #murderbot #martha wells #tmbd #playlist #attempting to cover themes like: #the rage fear and anxiety of a character who's been deeply hurt and suffered terrible trauma at the hands of others #the tentative cautious hope of a character experiencing kindness and compassion for the first time and beginning to slowly heal #the struggle of finding one's place in an often hostile world as an unapologetically unique entity #while simultaneously battling the internal fear that you're worth no more than what you were created to be #and more! #plus general good ol' fashioned anti-capitalism and scifi badassery #and an effort to maintain something of the series' dry humor and irreverent tone #murderbot diaries #Spotify
