#which if i'm being honest

[ID in alt text]

I've made two Halsin and Tav sketches this week and I'm working on digitally colouring them, as I don't think I like them enough to post as they are, but this one I like very much :3

#Halsin #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 fanart #fanart #danikunst #described #2024 #2 #I would probably find Halsin very intimidating in real life - not just because he's huge and buff #but because he's so open and honest and confident and competent and he feels like home and his affection feels unconditional and #that can be a little overwhelming #and I love him #at the start I didn't expect to like him that much - I thought he was a little weird? #which is odd because he's a Gentle Giant - which is my thing #but I'm used to my gentle giants lacking confidence and being a little naive and/or thick - that's probably it lol

[arrgh-whatever]

I was super tired on my way home at the moment I saw it and almost had a heart attack

BUT ALSO

I wanted to say thank you to ALL of you for your support! I always feel like I have to say something whenever I receive help but I barely have the energy to do so. Still I can't describe how grateful I am. Thanks to all of you surviving these awful times feels a lot less scary and I actually feel like we can make it through.

#I'm tearing up if I'm being completely honest #i haven't been able to fall asleep at night for more that a week now. stress and sleep deprivation left me absolutely unable to do anything #you gave me a chance to take a little more care of myself for which i am infinitely grateful #hopefully I'll be able to draw more often soon (and will finish the comic I promised you!!)

Question for those who wanna response: When's the last time you saw any media where any of the characters (major, minor, or extra) were known to be deaf?

(Bonus question: Who was the character and from what media did they originate from?)

#he talks #they talk #deaf #actually deaf #hoh #actually hoh #I've seen a various amount of random extras who would classify as deaf (3 from Pixar.. and a number of elderly characters from dramas #as well as two characters from Helluva Boss (yes.. this show) #As well as...2 characters? who would classify as major characters (one from The Dragon Prince and another from a book whose name escapes me #But I'll be honest.. I've not seen a single major character who speaks and is also deaf which bothers me immensely #(Honestly there's not enough deaf rep as it is.. but being someone who speaks and is deaf (and doesn't know sign) it hurts in that way too) #So honestly I'm curious if I've just not watched/read enough stuff and.. whether so or not.. what things I should look out for~

Imagine.

You've been friends with Rise Leo for so long, that you can't seem to remember a time when he wasn't there teasing you with his signature smirk.

It was always jokes with him. Puns. One liners. Horrible cringe pick-up lines. You name it, he'd say it.

Word play was the game and boy did he know how to play. The dumber they were, the harder you laughed.

You always seemed to be laughing around him. It felt…nice. Just to be silly, let the weight of your world roll off your shoulders just for one moment.

You guessed why that's why it was so easy for you to fall into a habit of teasing him back. Y'all both just needed a reason to laugh.

But…you weren't laughing now.

There, he stood in front of you, with that signature smirk on his lips, telling you that he had feelings for you.

That he ALWAYS had feelings for you; he just never had the words for it until now.

You tilted your head at that, your brow narrowing in confusion as you began to rub a hand nervously over your arm.

So you did what you always did. What he would always do when it came to uncomfortable feelings.

You brushed it off with a laugh, missing the way Leo’s hands flexed at the sound.

You looked up at Leo with a shaky smirk, mirroring his own face, your eyebrow quirked teasingly.

“This is a joke right? I'm missing the punchline here. You've never cared about serious feelings like this before, so why start now?”

Leo’s eyes widened slightly, his stomach sinking as he watched you shake your head with that disbelieving and exasperated smile that he had come to love so much.

His hands slowly curled into white-knuckled fists as he watched you literally laugh away his confession.

You thought… you thought this was a joke. That he wouldn't take these real feelings seriously.

Leo’s gaze narrowed as his attention sharpened into focus on you.

Very well then.

Leo would show you just how serious he could be.

Imagine.

All of those jokes, all of that teasing, that ADHD intellect, that strategy, that charisma and charm directed solely on you.

Imagine.

Every comment, every look, interaction and touch becoming calculated, purpose driven and direct.

Focused. On. You.

Imagine.

Leo wanting to show you what serious intention looks like.

Because it was NEVER a joke when it concerned you.

#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #OH I'M IMAGINING #TH. THANK YOU FOR THIS #ohhhhhhh and you know it all comes to a boiling point where you get into an argument with him #which is so so terrible because you two NEVER fight #and because i love cliches it HAS to escalate to him losing that smirk and that self-assured mask and him yelling “BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! #BECAUSE FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE I'M BEING HONEST AND THE TRUTH IS THAT I FUCKING LOVE YOU OKAY?“ #ohhh he'd fucking BREAK he'd start to cry and look at you like you hold his life in your hands (because you do. you always have) #and it's only THEN that you realize #all this was... all this was actually real #what he's been saying and doing it's all been REAL this ENTIRE TIME and you've been brushing it off. you've been LAUGHING. #“Leo I'm.

I'm not gonna lie I've been pondering for the last 30 minutes or so on what a good animated Robin movie would look like and Im kinda coming up blank I'm even getting stumped on which Robin the movie would focus on and outside of that what story should be the main focus

#Dc #Robin #Like I feel like the obvious answer would be dick #And the movie focuses on how he became Robin #Which like very good story #Easy to fit into the movie time span #Your basic origin story that new fans won't get confused with a bunch of back story #But it also just sounds like the safe option #And kinda boring if I'm being honest #Especially bc to me if you really want to tell dick or really any of the Robins stories #You need way more time to do it #Idk tho my brain isn't really working today #Soooo putting the question out there #Dc is making an animated Robin movie #They've asked you what Robin should be the focus and what story your telling #With the obvious stipulations #It's gotta fit into a 90 minute runtime #Robin has to fulfill some sorta character arc #It has to be newbie friendly while appeasing old fans #It's gotta be a self contained story while leaving room for a sequel #Annnd go

#unfortunately long-haired kel is occupying my every waking thought #i'm trying to find him (& the rest of the kids) some outfits for the bandAU #bc. i had an idea for that & it seemed fun so #yea #idk if kel would wear a skirt in the canonverse but #in the bandAU he definitely would. #he's a notorious clothes thief so i could see them being on tour & him running out of clothes #& just taking whatever's available from someone else #he wouldn't give a shit what it was so long as it didn't smell as bad as his own stuff #which. would smell atrocious if i'm being honest #rainyrambles #kelly

[vimbry]

it's sad how many reviews and stuff around tmbg seem to centre linnell as the sole dark and creepy writer of the band, never really crediting flansburgh too. do "hide away folk family," "dirt bike," "rabid child," "black ops," "cloisonné" mean nothing to them, smh.

#tmbg #this rigid dichotomy they tend to get forced into even tho linnell has written some happier songs and flansburgh plenty horrific ones #I'll be honest tho. I fully went into tmbw-interp-tab conspiracy when I first heard ''sleeping in the flowers'' lmao #I thought that song was about somebody getting murdered #the title seemed like a euphemism to me #it's actually. according to flansburgh. just about getting high in central park #and it's inspired by itchycoo park by the small faces which I knew and loved before and it's GREAT go listen to that. it's '60s psychedelia #so the lyrics are prob fantasising about spending time with the crush and essentially playfully talking sweet nothings together #bc they're stoned and in love #but honestly I thought ''you proclaim that you're an island. I proclaim that I'm one too'' #''I declare that I am england. you declare that I have drowned'' #sounded to me like someone trying to get away and be alone but the other person not getting the hint #esp bc the narrator introduces themself as not wanting to be ''known as the creep'' #the part about getting a ride home with a drunk guy ''who showed me how to spin my head round and round'' #sounded like the driver helping them get their story straight/take their mind off it #and the narrator feels they came across as ungrateful about their advice in their shocked state #plus the way the instrumental between the verses and chorus changes from fuzzy and gritty to lighthearted brass #like it's catching you off-guard #but it's not about any of that it's about being high #anyway none of that is an example of a genuinely creepy flansburgh song but

"Ned doesn't know how to talk with Sansa" Okay but like…where though? Where is it actually anywhere in the books that Ned has trouble speaking with Sansa? Or that he doesn't know how to handle her or "what to do" with her? The conflict people try and invent between them is just so...forced. I wish people would just let it go and stop trying.

#and if we're being honest it's because they're trying to copy and paste Catelyn and Arya's dynamic onto them which doesn't work #cause Ned agrees with Cat + also expected Arya to conform and made that clear multiple times throughout AGOT #so there was no favoritism going on cause Arya is /masculine/ or whatever nonsense and he didn't treat Arya better then Sansa lol #he let her have lessons as a distraction and he thought of them as temporary...in comparison Sansa was adjusting well to KL #Arya and Ned's relationship was more important/plot-relevant yes but Sansa and Ned just didn't have any issues like that 😭 #I'm tired of people just making things up and passing them off as canon #+ Ned getting thrown under the bus as a terrible father because he was nice to Arya and didn't warp his entire existence around Sansa #but then how are people going to blame Ned for Sansa going to tell Cersei of his plans I guess? #people can't cope if Sansa isn't the most pathetic little meow meow ever so that means everyone else has to be demonized

wrt the last post i just reblogged (Halsin cnc meta), i personally tend to imagine him as fairly aware of and comfortable with his kinks, including the ones based on his trauma

in fact i like to think that one of the reasons why he has such trouble accepting that his years of sex slavery were in fact deeply traumatic and abusive is because his response is to heavily sexualize his own trauma - not only was that part of how he discovered that he takes great pleasure in servicing others sexually, but ever since he's sought out situations where he can recreate aspects of the experience

because he's so large and strong and people tend to make assumptions about what kind of sex he wants or what kind of role he plays (or just project their own ideas of what kind of role they want him to play or think he should play onto him), he doesn't get to bottom or sub nearly as often as he likes

although his tendency towards acts of service is imo his own way of taking that control - even if someone wants him to be aggressive and fuck them, if he's doing it as an act of service, then he's still submitting himself to them and making himself their pet or toy and giving himself that satisfaction

this is something that i really like the idea of him and Astarion having in common, actually. i like to think of them both responding to their trauma by sexualizing it, but essentially in opposite directions

Astarion wants to be the one in control, the one doing rather than the one done to, and in contrast to Halsin, i think he would 100% think that makes him a bad person, basically as bad as Cazador

he doesn't really understand kink as something negotiated, as play between willing partners. his only experience is being tortured and exploited, and now that he finds himself with all of these desires to control, dominate, and hurt someone else, to force himself on someone else the way he was forced so many times, he's sure that it must mean he's irredeemably broken by his experiences

meanwhile, Halsin knows that both of their desires are normal and nothing to be ashamed of, but he's got this fun little cognitive dissonance going on where even though he would never think this of someone else, he feels like the fact that he found his experience of sex slavery powerfully erotic means it wasn't really that bad and that he can't really call himself a victim - maybe sort of a victim, but not entirely one, not the way someone like Astarion was

(even though their situations are very similar in certain respects. Astarion says most of his partners didn't even "grant me temporary bliss," but that doesn't mean he never found any of it sexually satisfying or erotically compelling, or never had any complicated feelings about Cazador that included love, a desire for attention/regard, or a sense of comforting familiarity)

i'm just very fond of the idea of Halsin being pretty comfortable in his own enjoyment of submission, including things like masochism, cnc, pet play, various types of power exchange, and just generally a lot of things that are quite specifically aspects of his own past abuse, and getting to walk Astarion through the idea that it's fine and okay to like that sort of thing whether you want to be on the giving or receiving end of it

and MEANWHILE being forced to confront his own internal double standard where he holds himself responsible for things that he would never hold someone else responsible for, due to his direct engagement with Astarion's trauma, and having to slowly come to the realization that he was a captive, he was a victim, it was abusive, and he is in fact Kind Of Fucked Up About It

#self-recognition through the other babeyyyyy #just my personal set of headcanons about halsin and his trauma and his relationship to kink because of his trauma #i like to think he doesn't struggle so much with accepting his kinks as with feeling like he has the right to be 'selfish' enough to ask fo #unless his partner says they want to do it first in which case he'll go all in #or they ASK him outright what he wants to do and he can mentally turn it into 'i'm pleasing them by being honest' #he is legitimately down for most things but he also tends to go with the flow #and struggles to be able to assert himself even in relatively minor ways if he feels like it'd be a bummer to his partner #bg3 #halstarion

Figmin XR is now a top-selling app on the Quest store and my favorite part about it finally blowing up is seeing Random Tech Dudes who just do NOT get it all:

"oh no, a whimsical environment full of rainbows, unicorns, fairies, and other stereotypically feminine and/or childish imagery. DISGUSTING. better compare this to the Vapid Youths and their Myspace pages"

like sorry you hate fun I guess??? (the person this guy was talking to responded with "this is appealing to children, who also use technology", which is the correct answer, btw)

#incessant meowing #i'm so glad no one uses tumblr so i have at least one place to talk shit lmao #i've spent the better part of this month just casually seeing strangers publicly discuss my art which has been wild #most people love it and i am grateful 🙏 but it's still mostly just anxiety central to be honest #this is the kind of thing you dream of as an artist but now that's it's actually happening it's like OH FUCK!! #i am being Perceived #anyways i have to go back to making MORE FUNLOVING WHIMSICAL VIDEOS #i haven't been here much but i hope everyone is having a good october and looking forward to halloween

Were Peter and Harry properly a thing? Or was it more of a spur of the moment hook-up?

in 9319? it was just two sordid nights – and sweet, sweet lingering trauma...

harry so nice, peter had to have it twice.

#sci speaks #ask-spiderpool #the fic is non-explicit! and kind of vital reading to get into peter's head and all his baggage. #this fic honest to god caused me so much psychic damage to write. and i've been trapped in peter's brain ever since. #i can't get out. let me OUT. it's such a horrifying MESS up in here. #i'm really glad i wrote this because. god. peter has so many more dimensions now than he did prior. #peter levelled up so much in the ask-spiderpool revival #it's so funny because if harry didn't rear his head then peter was going to be relegated to the supportive boyfriend role. #but no sir. he's got his own messes to clean. and he's kind of become the pov character now. #which is so fun! because wade always used to be the pov character before. how the turntables... #i think boys night might be my favourite bit of writing i've done for 9319. in some messed up sort of way. #i really wish everyone'd read it. #the harry stuff in 9319 is some of my most favouritest stuff. it's so juicy. it's so juicy !! #i love the osborns kind of existing solely to get peter to question himself and face uncomfortable truths. #the osborns just being able to worm out everything that peter parker supresses. all his anger and all of his... ugly. #delicious. smacks lips.

An alternative review of GMMTV Live 2024 part 2

A list of the shared items of clothing that appeared in the trailers, ranked according to the amount I squealed when I spotted it.

6. getricheasy sports shirt

The first of four from Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist, this had its first appearance in Only Friends and was used in the promotional material for The Outing but I didn't spot it in the show, so I'm happy to see it again. Who knows if it will be used in the actual show...that goes for any of these items incidentally.

5. Blue with yellow detail knitted vest

I've had a screenshot of this vest worn by Thor since I saw it as Wednesday Club aired. I swear I've seen it somewhere else before but can't remember. But hence why it immediately jumped out to me in Perfect 10 Liners.

4. Green sports jacket

On to the second of the four from Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist, and oh to be Poon and be able to wear the jacket that our King and Queen have worn -> first by Namtan in UMG and then Mix in his glorious cameo at the end of Only Friends. I predict we'll see this again a few more times.

3. Blue with brown edging shirt

I was happy to see this one, another in Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist, because I had kept it in my mind since seeing it in Only Friends - as another potential that might get worn again. It's subtle yet quite distinct...and very much in a similar vibe as many other shirts worn by Force (and shared with Sea, Ngern, and New amongst others).

2. Red, blue, and green striped t-shirt

I'm impressed with my brain for spotting this one, the last from Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist, because at first it just felt familiar, and I immediately thought of UMG but I thought it might just be because it's similar to a few stripy colour shirts that Nanon wore. But I had a look through my screenshots of the series and eventually found it all the way at the end...

1. Ink's mustard knitted vest!

This one I could not believe. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would see this iconic vest from Bad Buddy again. But here we are, on Mix no less in Ossan's Love. It's not something you'd expect to see on Mix...but then again I thought the costuming of the trailer looked a lot more 'quirky' than usual and very much fitting the kooky/slapstick vibe of the series. But honestly, this made my day.

#INK'S VEST!! #to be honest I was a little disappointed there weren't more clothes from the communal wardrobe #but I'm still happy to see all these being used #we'll see which ones make it to the actual filming #gmmtv 2024 #sweet tooth good dentist #perfect 10 liners #ossans love thailand #only friends the series #ofts #the outing #wednesday club #UMG #unidentified mysterious girlfriend #bad buddy #bad buddy series #I suppose I should look into who does the clothes/styling for these shows #because it might be the same person...which would therefore make sense that the clothes get used again #or it could be that there is just one central 'store' where all the designers dip into to get some items #who knows... #the thai communal wardrobe

Do you know what I think the internet needs?

More protective/jealous Luigi.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the wholesome idea of Bowser being protective over Luigi (or getting jealous if someone jokingly messes and/or flirts with Luigi), but wouldn’t it also be both funny and kind of adorable if Luigi's the more protective/jealous one between him and his 7-foot tall dragon-turtle boyfriend?

#luigi #luigi nintendo #bowser #bowser nintendo #bowuigi #bowser x luigi #super mario #super mario bros #mario au #I'm not entirely sure what exactly inspired me to think about this idea if I'm being honest here #though I will say that I know this idea has been done before #I remember seeing a drawing a Bowuigi artist made about a month ago that touched on the idea of Luigi being protective over Bowser #which I thought was cool #there's also a really cool angst Bowuigi au of an au I like where Luigi is obsessed with Bowser #but other than that drawing and that au I don't think protective/jealous Luigi has been explored all that much #at least I don't think it's been explored all that much #idk I'm just really intrigued with the idea of Luigi being protective/possessive over Bowser right now #especially when you realize that Bowser could very easily destroy the people who are messing/flirting with him #because he's...y'know...a 7-foot dragon-turtle thing #Today on what is nickname thinking about right now #bowuigi top Luigi au
