happiness today and tomorrow (ID in alt)

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun maximum #trigun #ruporas art #hello here's another vw dump wraughh everyday i think about them being embarrassing infatuated w each other #it's like... at some point i must stop and look away... their love is too bright too dangerous.... but i will not... and neither will the #sidenote on the first comic - i drafted it bc im annoying about vash finding wolfwood lovely in simple ways but bc he's so restrained #in his thoughts those compliments dont usually come out. and when they do - bc he thinks about it so often - i think it'd come out bluntly #like. factual in tone as opposed to his inner deep exploding feelings about ww. only when he's pried deeper - prompted to expand #On these feelings does he get shy lmfao.... and bc it's simple complimentary words ww would take it casually in stride #dip him then call him cute and Maybe he'll get shy (pondering) #as u can see all i do is think about the fluff rn. tragedy where!

pain

#my art #dracula #dracula daily #like i know that each entry has diff pov charas so obv multiple narrators #but like thinking of dracula as the one organising the substack is incredibly funny #would be neat to see an adaptation where dracula is framed more like frankenstein with jonathan being the one telling his tale #then after so much paranoia and increasingly frantic short entries growing more urgent in tone #desperate frightened hes going to barm me Help Me kind of fear #his next entry is just a blackened burned page #and when we turn the page dracula greets the reader. #this got wildly sidetracked off canon its not even dracula anymore. :/

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #jiang fengmian #This comic has been sitting on the back burner for months and I am thrilled to finally release it out into the wild. #Does it completely interrupt the tone that the last two comics set? Yeah it does. #There's an mpreg joke coming tomorrow so look forwards to that as well <3 Welcome to my comedy blog. #I really love thinking about the complicated nature of Jiang Fengmian's relationship with wwx! It has so many incredible layers #He is the son of two people he was close with! Two people who died and their remaining legacy- #-is this talented boy near your own son's age. How do you not desire to raise him to be happy and content? #JFM grieves every time he sees WWX and replaces that feeling with a compensatory affection. Where else can those feelings go? #JFM does not see wwx as a servant nor a son. He sees him as a reminder - as a replacement for a horrible hole in his heart.

i think its weird that arcee is like. a core member of transformers groups now, cuz it makes her stick out like a sore thumb being the token girl when at the time she wasnt exactly supposed to be? she was part of the second generation of characters (even though I know the movie was being made first)

like it seems like modern stuff tries to do this with her

which just shows off how much that design doesnt fit and comes off like it was made to be "i am THE girl. you need no more girls we have made the one girl”

but when she was actually designed to match the movie crew, a bunch of more futuristic (the far off year of 2005) cybertronian vehicle transformers with her rounded shapes and pastel colours and she isnt even the only pink one because hot rod is also pink, albeit a much darker pink

(leaving ultra magnus out cuz he was designed to be a brick holding optimus doesnt count)

the point like yeah shes still the only girl but its less egregious when you look at what she was actually supposed to match. i dont think shes designed perfectly but i think its weird that because shes the most recognizable girl transformer she has to be pulled away from her crew and forced into a group she doesnt share the design philosophy of (let alone for her character its sad like... are those not her friends? she’s not allowed to hang out with her own friends anymore cuz she’s the only girl who’s marketable? sad)

it’s extra weird when you realize there’s this crew who were the original girl transformers shown on screen

they’re not perfect either but I like that they have the same busy more squared off shapes and more strong colours, and I just think if they got added in arcees place you could have a less skewed view gender binary for the robots

there’s also the part where it would be cool to have more than one girl in a group, but again arcee with her iconic leia space buns head fits in aesthetically better with the movie crew

#the tf binge thoughts #maccadam #transformers #I HAVE NOT SEEN EARTHSPARK so if there’s something to that don’t tell me I’m starting soon #I made this after just finishing animated #I found this in my drafts and realized made these edits for nothing if I don’t post them lol #(also the editor was mad cuz they wanted the images) #we’ve just finished wfc and this problem was there too #I also think where I sourced these images toned down just how pastel the movie colours are for that crew #cuz hot rot is bright magenta in the movie they’re Al very light colours

More Agreste Twin AU! Is is anyone going to explain what on Earth is happening in the Miraculous-sphere right now? 🤔

#miraculous ladybug #twin au #adrien agreste #felix agreste #josie's art #got on this faster than any miraculous news in the last year lmao #it's so dumb but it hits my 2010 emo bone SO hard #i love the designs but not because they're good; specifically because they're bad #anyway in the Twin AU we ALL know where adrien got that intense heavy eyeliner. his brother with A+ cat eyes #felix is letting this play out but his tone WILL change when adrien's friends expect him to fill in #talking? sitting with people? participating in days out? ADRIEN TAKE OFF THE GOTDAM EYELINER

i will never be happy w studio bones animating my hero i think 😮‍💨 hater for life. why are all the outdoor scenes in primary colors. why that blue for the sky. i thought gigantomachia was supposed to be somewhat menacing. stop dick riding them

#i don’t care if im being too picky this arc deserves more attention to detail and better animation 😭 #not saying it’s the best arc in manga or anything. just that how does studio bones animate mp100 and turn around and do this #not to mention how they butchered the last season and the animation and lack of adherence there 🫠 #where’s the tone #i don’t like horikoshi but i feel bad for him cause what is studio bones deal 💀 #more like I feel bad for myself having to watch it. i don’t think i’ll be watching it though cause i’ll just be disappointed lmao #so much of it is like they drew the lines and used the paint bucket option to fill them in 💀 where’s the shadow like where’s the fluidity #where’s the variation in color. my god im getting really annoyed thinking about it 💀

Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #if you’ve ever had to wear body paint that stuff can be UNCOMFORTABLE #AND to hold that pose for so long - not moving a muscle even when they first started falling? #as humorous as this is it is no joke highly impressive #I also love the implication that they disguised Leo SO FAST that Big Mama JUST finished with item 1 #this is why Leo grows to become the worlds greatest ninja #bro’s dedication to subterfuge is godly #also #Leo 🤝 Mario: being painted gold and tricking the villainess into thinking you’re a statue #side note but in this same episode leo makes a comment about being betrayed by his brothers all the time in a happy tone #and I wonder if that’s part of where his love for epic betrayals comes from #or if his bros partially did those betrayals because they know he likes them #also also #nearly all of Leo’s absolute best moments are contained within episodes that feature either Hueso or especially Big Mama #and I find that interesting #ALSO also also #Karai and Big Mama both embody different aspects of Leo’s key character traits and in this essay I will- #side note but as I mentioned in the notes LEO WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD CHEERLEADER AND SPECIFICALLY A FLYER #bc here’s the thing he has literally all the marks of a good one - the main one being what he shows HERE #the ability to LOCK HIS POSITION #plus his affinity for showmanship like #AND his literal JOB AS A MASCOT??? #let my guy be a cheerleader plz #he and Mikey both would be so good at it

so I ran across this VA’s audio of him basically stealing the listener from her bf and overstimming her and towards the end, when he’s talking her through ✨it✨, he starts speaking German and I—

#SURELY YALL CAN SEE WHERE MY MIND IS ABOUT TO GO #I HAD TO CONTAIN MYSELF BITCH #cherry chats 🍒 #brb writing this up right now! #eren x black fem!reader #and when I make him bilingual with a tongue ring and he switches native tongues while eating the— #*dial tone click*

What do the eye sizes mean for Monty? Is it like a cat? I don’t know that much about birds

#monty tag #croaks #this probably applies to all birds but male ekkies have a two-toned iris thats black around the pupil #(the pinning probably applies to all birds the two toned iris is probably an evolutionary thing to woo the ladies #so its really really obvious when theyre pinning #i think some types of birds of paradise do something similar where it looks like theyll change the colour of their eyes #when actually theyre just pinning really quickly #gotta get those sweet honeys

actually to bring up how watered down and sanitized the first 3 episodes of percy jackson has been, it raises concerns for later books. the stakes are supposed to be high from book 1 and the bar continues to be raised. it’s an action packed series with monsters and gods and deadly quests. there’s the possibility of being killed. which raises the question, when titan’s curse rolls around, how will they handle not one but two character deaths? this is the book that’s the turning point in the series, where everyone senses this tonal shift and that they’re favorite characters could actually die. that kronos is serious and this impending war will be real, with real casualties, injuries, and intense battle scenes. how do you sanitize a literal war?

#maybe they’ll take the route of the hp movies where the tone and color palette gets more dark and gritty with each film #but hp still included all the action scenes. and pjo I would argue has more so why is it being watered down #you don’t have to get too detailed with the violence but cmon #pjo tv crit #pjo tv show #percy jackson

did someone actually hate on your fave? or did they neutrally attribute a trait to them that you've unnecessarily negatively moralized and you hurt own feelings about it? or, perhaps, did you project too hard and now interpret even mild critique or simple acknowledgement of interesting character flaws as an ad hominem attack on yourself?

#like I'm sorry but. as an essek stan. skill issue. #ngl I'm more inclined to block someone going 'essek is baby who has never done anything wrong in his life and he should be exonerated' #than someone going 'essek is a horrible criminal and he should die' #the first is like 'incorrect. even his partner does not hold this opinion.' #the second is like 'depending on your tone it's possible you have a point. let's talk it out and see if you do' #I myself have also had my fave formally executed on occasion. for kicks and angst. 😌 #actually laughing this reminded me of a one-shot post live show that I never finished where caleb and essek basically have this conversatio #I should actually finish and post that #anyway this is not that serious it's just constantly on my mind on this hellsite

Curiosity and Puzzle Boxes

It was tiny Tim's first time being 'old' enough to be left home alone without a babysitter, and even though he KNOWS he shouldn't mess or play with some of the things his parents sent home from their digs, he's still a very curious child.

Yeah, maybe playing and later solving that old puzzle box that apparently summoned a powerful eldritch being from a different realm and binded them together until his own death might not have been the brightest thing Tim has done... but at least he's not alone now!

Meanwhile, Danny takes one look at the kid who not only summoned him but solved the puzzle box and sighed to himself, this was the last time he took Tuckers advice on how to escape the dumb Ghost King summonings by creating a 'prove yourself worthy' loophole/puzzle.

Also.. where the heck are your parents kid?!?!?

#danny phantom #danny fenton #dp x dc #crossover #blue rambles #writing ideas #random idea #danny phantom dc #dpxdc #a trope ive seen done before but i wanna throw my idea in the ring as well #baby tim is ghost adopted by danny #tiny tim is smart #but baby too #danny really hoped to get out of summonings #but he didnt take into account of the smarty smart Tim Drake #Danny got uncomfortable flashbacks to his own childhood when he asks Tim where is parents were at. #and he says 'they have more important work to do than be with me.' #Tim meant it as a little business man way to show hes grown up but there is a hint of hurt in his tone #and Danny can hear it and decides to channel his inner Jazz #yep this is his kid now
