I’m jumping in to submit a request! I love it when people draw one of the caballeros cooking. I think they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Personally I feel like Panchito is a dream in the kitchen. Part of me wants to make a joke about Donald burning water but he can probably at least make a good fucking sandwich. Zé…. Man I have no idea. He is a mystery to me.

I ended up rambling about headcanons OTL but! I’d love to see you draw a cab of your choice cooking or something like that!

OK SO,, Zé has been shown cooking in his comics and apparently he's pretty decent at it (his nephews do like his food) but, as everything in those comics, it all depends if it's gonna be relevant to the plot.

José might not be a chef but I'm sure he can make the Brazilian classics like rice and beans, strogonoff (the Brazilian remix), pasta with sausages, farofa de ovo, canja, bake a cake AND OF COURSE he can work a grill for churrasquinho of whatever mystery meat he can put his hands on. He doesn't do much cooking because it's "ARGH... work", but for his nephews and when it comes to showing his friends what Rio's cuisine is like, he will do it. Also, I think if he's feeling truly inspired and has people helping him, he can make a traditional feijoada, just... don't criticize it. like, EVER.

Traditional Feijoada is supposed to be rich, it's not supposed to be spicy/hot!

#the three caballeros #donald duck #panchito pistoles #josé carioca #ducktales #duckverse #requests #I think Panchito's pepper obsession would get on José's nerve at some point but only if it's abt his cooking #“YOU'RE NOT TASTING ANYTHING I DID !!

2 a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

SO. I personally believe that L and Light switch often depending on mood and what suits a given encounter etc. Penetration does not domination make. I will now provide some various situations and lawlight encounters worth considering:

L riding Light. He’s harsh about it, pulling Light’s hair. Light comes too quickly, but L won’t stop. Light, over-stimulated to the point of tears, is begging L to get off of him or to finish already. Light is kicking the sheets. L has his hands pinned to the mattress.

Light—who is younger than L and has a bit more stamina—bottoming for L and working him to the bone. Light is still technically begging, technically under L’s control, but very quickly it is starting to seem like Light is holding the reins during this encounter.

Light has been mouthing off, so L gets his boy under a desk, one leg over his shoulder, hollow of L’s knee pinning him in place. However the dynamics change pretty quickly when L realizes that Light is making a point of being an impossible tease. It ends with L sitting with his head against his keyboard, cursing at Light who is still working, agonizingly slow, between L’s knees under the desk.

L bottoming for Light, but keeping him collared and leashed all the while. If Light slows or takes him too harshly, L need only tug on the leash in his fist to issue correction.

Anyway. I think strict sub bottom and top dom is boring. Sue me.

I was writing some dialogue between Haseley and Raphael just because, and this little soliloquy from Raphael fell out of my head, and I just had to share it.

——————————————————————————

“Every mind flayer, without exception, believes that they are the pinnacle of evolution. They believe, to put it simply, that they are done. They have reached the summit of consciousness, there is no next step, and more importantly, there is no possible diversion from the path that brought their species to its zenith. It’s why they developed the process of ceremorphosis; to expedite the natural process of evolution of all species into illithid. It’s why they have no qualms with feeding off some lesser forms or enslaving others; their methods cannot be questioned, regardless of how grim and gruesome the outcomes may be. And it is why, at their very core, they are soulless creatures. What is the point of a soul when you believe no god can judge you?”

In the ST universe what roles would the party take on in minecraft? I know Dustin is making red stone rail systems and Max is teaching El to grief houses

THIS IS SUCH A CUTE QUESTION el and will are very much "oh my god i found a flower field" and will building in said flower field while literally all el does is try and pick every type of flower until max is like hey follow me and they steal all of mikes (2) diamonds and iron. mike and lucas always try to beat the ender dragon but one of them is always too afraid ("we have to be more prepared") to go to the nether/end (hell, even caves) so they just kind of mine around (barely) and ward off max. dustin is absolutely making rail systems to curate their own village and trying to get a villager to trade a book of mending and has will help him build structures so its not just shitty oak wood (lets be honest its dirt) houses. maybe sometimes they make little parkour maps to try and beat and they just end up fucking around and killing each other. mike goes to see what wills building and is like "heyyyy you want me to get u supplies 🥺 owo" and no matter how far along or how many supplies he has he always says yes and its Disgusting. also dustin is always bitching at mike and lucas to beat the game so he can get an elytra and theyre always like YOU DO IT THEN and hes like OKAY then steps one foot into a nether portal and immediately dies and never returns. lucas is subjected to protecting dustins cat from max. he fails. chaos. i could go on and on. they all go to find the ender portal and fail so miserably and start fighting and then will is just like "teehee i found it! :D" everytime el wants to try and make something shes like "i have. no supplies :(" and max is like sweetie thats what mike and lucas' chests are for <3 lucas is convinced herobrine is actually real. el learns theres pandas and makes it her sole mission to find one heading out with no food or bed or weapons or. dustin gives el creative mode (he owns the server) lucas makes dustin do the red stone armor stand dance thing and stands up irl copying it THE LIST GOES ON OK IM DONE wait will makes a joke that a villager is his boyfriend and mike immediately: "Send Me Your Coords" then goes there just to kill it

#you sly dog you got me MONOLOGUING #im sorry this reply is so long 😭😭😭#hey can you tell i Lovr Minecrafdt #whos writing the 35 page novel about their dog dying and why is it lucas #it crashes and he loses it and when he realizes he does his high pitched scream #and max is like 'oh my God'#crying at his keyboard rip #this is all canon btw #stranger things #ask #long post

Hi again, I'm the anon that asked about names and I'm working on my thing, but I've been rewatching both seasons a ton to get characterization right and oh my god. I finally get the implications at the end of Love. Do you have any fluffy headcanons to distract me bc I'm lowkey freaked out right now lmao. I will never be able to look at Shrignold the same again oh my god

Hello! Glad to hear you're still working on your fic 🥰 I hope it's going well! And yes. The love episode... the one with the catchiest song and the creepiest undertones :/ (I don't think there's concrete vibes of what's supposed to be 'implied' tbh, i think it's mainly commentary on how cults can prey on the venerable with a weird fucking unnerving bit at the end for some good gore/shock value shots, or at least that's what i'm telling myself to feel better lol)

A lot of my fluffier headcanons are already in a couple of my fics or are being kicked around on this blog!

Duck cooks the most (based on his curry and the lovely chicken picnic) in my AU specifically he's started to cook more carb-y foods because he wants to make sure they're all eating enough, much like a grandma immediately feeding you the second you step foot in the house, it's how he shows love

Red is the designated tall person and is always the one that has to get things down from high places. He'll also take things away from the other two and stash them up high if they're annoying him or fighting over something, and will leave it up there until everyone's calmed down

Due to the significant lack of lips in this family they can't really 'kiss' each other so Red's taken to headbutting as a form of endearment (which is something I do!) and will kind of press his forehead onto the other persons and leave it there. Duck pretends not to like it but he loves it. Yellow loves it so much he gets excited and will accidentally headbutt the others at like 1000 miles an hour and potentially knock himself and the other person out

Duck specifically preens the others as a form of endearment, and he loves playing with the other's hair in the way birds preen other bird's feathers. He'll help Red get knots and things out of his yarn and he likes to fiddle with Yellow's hair if he thinks it's too messy (all while scolding them for looking sloppy of course)

(sometimes he'll nibble at them with his beak if he's feeling especially lovey-dovey, it's all very adorable)

(Yellow really REALLY loves it when he does that and just shrieks with laughter the whole time)

Red and Duck's love language is bickering and bitching at each other, all in a very passive aggressive british way of course. Very much old married couple vibes there, but in a way where they'll tell each other to shut the fuck up with love and then make dinner together while drinking wine or whatever it is old men do

Duck and Yellow also like to bicker with each other and make jokes, Yellow loves to call Duck old because he gets all pissy about it and Duck will make him do extra chores as punishment for being disrespectful but will usually help out if he thinks Yellow is being too slow (which he always does) This relationship is heavily based on the relationship I have with my mother, everything's a joke and we're always talking shit until it isn't and then it's all love

Also 100% my mother would bite me and give me rabies if I was pissing her off I don't think that affects Duck's parental status that's like normal and also they're british so....

Red is a HUGE snuggler, especially in my AU where he's getting chubbier and learning to be happy. He uses his bigger size to kind of pounce on whoever he wants to hug and squeeze them and shake them around because he can't contain or verbalize how much he cares about them

If Yellow has any trouble sleeping he just crawls into one of the other's beds (he's in the middle so it's usually 50/50 who he'll go to) and immediately steals the blankets and puts his cold feet on their legs. The other two are usually don't care (red) or claim they're too tired to move him (but actually doesn't mind that much) (duck)

They all stim. Duck rocks in his chair or flaps his wings, Red hums and fiddles with whatever's in his hands, Yellow kicks his feet and flaps his hands, he also has the tendency to dance around when he's happy.

Yellow would 100% be that kid that loves Minecraft and slime

He tries to make slime one time and gets it caught in Red's yarn and cries his eyes out because he thinks it's going to make Red bald and bald people scare him

Duck makes Red wash his head in the sink and somehow gets it all out and then Yellow cries more because he's happy Red isn't going to be bald

Duck 100% watches old lady british soap operas and BBC murder series like Midsomer Murders or Vera or Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (Australian but whatever)

Yellow watches kids tv shows on PBS or HBO Family, Documentary series about animals (or any other NPR smart people show) the news, numbers stations, and british morning talkshows

Red watches whatever is on tv that the other two want to watch and I feel like he probably likes to watch footy

they all love each other very much because I SAID SO

#also if i felt like being an evil wench i would say duck keeps yellow well fed because subliminally he doesn't want to be eaten again >:0)#ALSO ALSO I like to watch british gameshows like 8 out of 10 cats or taskmaster to watch how funnie british people interact with each other #i like to think that Duck acts like david mitchell Red acts like alex horne and Yellow acts like roisin conaty (very loosely)#long post #YOU SLY DOG YOU GOT ME MONOLOGUING #my posts #my askbox

If you don't mind asking, what was the longest time you ever spend in a drawing? -🦂

Oh jeez, I think it must be this one commission I did for a friend that took me like 19-20 hours (painted background, detailed shading, all that jazz). But it's very possible that it's actually a different commission for the same friend that was all painting, but unfortunately, I don't have the raw file anymore to check the time. But I think it'd also be around 20 hours

These are the extremes though, most of my fully finished artworks take around 3-7 hours to complete, depending on the polish and the detail. The longest I took on a non-painting drawing is 9 hours, and it's this one

Didn't even do the background, lol, it's just an edited photo I took. I fully blame the jacket for that time

If we're counting other art projects, my Brutus animatic, Poplar St MAP part, She Wants Me (To Be Loved) MAP part and Spiral of Ants MAP part 22 triumph over anything else. I can't give you the exact numbers but I can make an estimate

Brutus I made in 3 days, barely sleeping and just chugging through that bad boy like my life depended on it. It was fully made in FlipaClip so I'm not sure about the exact time but excluding the time I slept, rested and ate, it probably took like around 12-18 hours. Which is insane considering how unfinished it is compared to the other projects on this list LMAO. I just remember it took a long time and I was exhausted by the end.

She Wants Me (To Be Loved) took me around 6 hours and 35 minutes to draw character references, then 15 hours and 35 minutes on all the frames, then putting it all together in FlipaClip and tweening it probably took me like another hour? So around 23 hours total.

Poplar ST was my first fully lines and coloured frame by frame animation. The references for the characters took me 4 hours and 15 seconds, and all of the scenes combined took me 26 hours and 12 minutes, then I had to put it all into FlipaClip and animate it which I'd again estimate to around an hour of work, makes it an around 31 hours long project.

Spiral of Ants part 22 was a massive beast, but not even because of the finished product but mostly because I almost finished a different version of that part before losing momentum and deciding on something else entirely. The three frames (one of which is lost to time) of this original concept took 12 hours and 27 minutes to make. Unfortunately, the reference sheets were on my old phone so I don't know how long they took, but seeing how long the other references took me and considering the amount of characters in this, I'd say 4-5 hours is a fair estimate. Then after that didn't pan out, I made two storyboards for my ideas for this part, which took me 3 hours and 54 minutes. Then the references for that took me 4 hours and 51 minutes. Then making the frames for that took me 11 hours and 30 minutes, and tweening I'd say took me around 2 hours in total. In total, that's roughly 40 hours of work for one MAP part.

But these are all animations, so it's a given that they'll take way longer than a singular artwork

As a bonus, have these frames for the original Spiral of Ants concept that never was and some of the refs that survived Nuking (phone change)

(that fire frame alone took me 6 hours)

#asks #thylacines can talk #spooky arts #Sorry I went into a ramble #It just got me interested in how long certain projects might have taken me and I decided to add them all up #Man. The ant motive was cute. I should have kept it for the final version. Oh well #You sly dog you got me monologuing #Also. Lilith's name has been since changed to Asmodeus. Because bastardising a mainly Jewish figure and shoving her into a mainly christian #Story is a yikes from me chief.

horangi needs more love

[recipe website esque story begins]

getting back into CoD is and has been a fucking nightmare why is everyone so into mediocre white men (sorry lucky) gaz and horangi and farah are right there please love them instead i have decided to take it upon myself to husband the fuck out of all three and this is my horangi madness

[recipe website esque story ends]

You're not invincible (horangi x m!reader, reader gets injured + lectured?)

You're all doomed (damsel in distress!horangi x knight in shining armor!m!reader)

I am the shadow where there once was light (murdered!horangi x vengeant!m!reader)

u get ONE mcd. as a treat. ONE.

okay but, like, you're so right? like, broadly speaking about the fandom itself of course bc tbh I don't engage with it widely and unlikely will again, but; from what I've seen, when it comes to characters who aren't White (Horangi, Gaz and Farah specifically), they're often brushed aside and treated as lesser by the fandom as a whole. I mean, almost every "141 group" piece of media (fanfic, edits, etc) almost always excludes Gaz and replaces him with König. even tho Gaz has a personality.

even tho Gaz is the protagonist of the games. and it goes further than that, bc like w Horangi, the fandom makes him into some "UWU soft boy who needs Königs attention 247 or else he gets upset uwu" stereotype of Korean men. w Farah, there's just... there's so little content about her but it's almost always somehow either demeaning or erasing the fact that she is canonically a Muslim.

and like, if it was just a one off, a sorta "oh, okay, Gaz isn't in this fic but he's in tens of thousands of others", it'd be less prominent, but the fact remains that the COD fandom has a serious issue with race and cannot and DO NOT treat the characters they claim to "love" NEARLY as well or w as much dignity as they do White ones.

like, people won't even do a quick Google search of what Muslims believe before doing HC lists, and will include things that just simply aren't done by most Muslims. (bc ik you remember THAT hc list that we both saw)

it's sickening, like, when a fandom that calls itself a "community" consistently and constantly aligns itself with racist ideology of which is most often on the side of fetishisation when it isn't on blatant erasure, it kinda loses its right to turn around and say that it's "so inclusive" because it's not. it aligns itself with this liberal ideology that, hey, as long as you're NICE about it, you can be racist!

and obviously I'm not Black, Korean or Arab, but it has to be extremely exhausting, dehumanising and demoralising for people who ARE who have just joined the fandom only to find out that it's so drenched in racism that, if you turn around and you call people out for being racist, you're branded as "needing to go outside".

it's disgusting. like, point blank. it's absolutely vile.

and like, it's VERY similar to ao3 in that the MAJORITY of people who are doing these kinds of things are White Women as well, so OF COURSE they always put on the "I'm innocent I swear!!!" White Woman Tears™ when their behaviour is rightfully addressed, and that only ADDS to the toxic and abusive nature of the cod fandom, bc it makes it unsafe for people who aren't White EVEN MORE.

it's just gross. stop it. stop being fucking racist you ghouls.

anyway. rant over.

fellow francis/oc enjoyer... we're SO bigbrained for giving him people to love and love him in return 😤😤😤

Hey omg thank you so much

I've always done this ever since I was little, look at loner / hated characters and give them someone to love.

Katya loves Francis. He's exactly what she always wanted. A un principled and hard-working man with a stable income and good looks and loves his mother.

But she doesn't love him just because of those things, she loves him because he understands her. He's just like her. Their twisted sense of morality is what keeps them together. She hates his brothers because 1) they don't understand her or francis and 2) because they didn't 'respect' her enough when she met them (respect as in worship her). Katya is a very, VERY proud person. She will not tolerate any type of disrespect, and she considers a lot of things to be disrespect. You look away for three seconds while you two were talking? That's disrespect. You question something she said about a specific topic? That's disrespect (not all the time though, she knows she could be wrong sometimes). She's a narcissist. Just like her cousin and just like her entire family. Francis gets a pass most times because she loves him. It's okay if he looks away, he's probably just tired. It's okay if he questions her, he just doesn't know as much.

But if he dares to be like "hey maybe you're too harsh on Gerald.." she'd fucking lose it. Because she can't understand how he still cares about a family that hates him so much. She knows she wouldn't. And she can't stand it when he's always like "hey let's go to ma's house and maybe we could see packie" she just goes "those people hate you why the fuck do you still care about them?".

This always creates problems between them two but they eventually get over it. Because love is stronger than anything or something idk I never gave a shit about romance.

#you sly dog you got me monologuing #i just love love love lovve such dynamics #i imagine them to be something like aki & himeno or denji & reze from csm #besties and lovers that understand each other #gta iv #francis mcreary #katya rascalova #katya and francis

so I think you have a headcanon about Brainy's mind being active while he, Mon-El, and Imra were in their pods, so he could maintain the ship during cryo-sleep and make sure everything would happen at the right time. And if this is true, then it would be a good parallel to Kara being awake in the Phantom Zone at least some of the time when she was trapped there after she was sent away from Krypton, like they both know deep isolation and how terrible and lonely that is.

oh that is a good point!

I never made that connection (i haven't dug thought my headcanons in a while either lol)

but also I think brainy puts a lot on himself to be useful or to be fulfilling a service to others to be seen as good or as worthy of people.

where as kara has a need to fill the emptiness with something, be it her own thoughts or movement which is part of the reason she has always found it hard to do nothing (and or relax). cause that silence can start to creep in and hunt her.

so i think that for lack of a better term their loneliness are compatible, cause if you put them in an empty room brainy would talk the whole time about facts about their surroundings or ways to get out and kara would be moving around to solve the problem anyway she could.

he needs to be helpful and she needs someone their with her.

its a cool play on their dynamic

my attempt at those poetry/prose things i keep seeing on tiktok except i’ve never written a poem in my life.

i went to the shops today. i didn’t take any hay fever tablets; they’re in the cupboard but i don’t know for sure that I have hay fever. my brother does but that doesn’t mean that I do, does it?

as soon as i left my house there was snot running down my nose and my eyes were itching. i sighed and accept that this outing i will be sniffing and wiping at my face, trying and failing not to look disgusting.

it was humid today. i tugged my cardigan off my shoulders and shoved it in my bag. i was still too hot. and my feet hurt. i changed my shoes three times before i left the house to pick the right ones that didn’t show of my silly patterned socks and now my feet hurt.

i went to the shops that i needed to go to. i stumbled through polite conversation with the staff at the counters. i laughed when i thought i was meant to. i was far too aware of the snot drying on my face, like a child who can’t keep themselves clean. were they looking at me?

the woman in the clothes shop asked if i needed help. i wondered if she knew i had no intention of buying anything. because i was alone and i didn’t have the approval of my friend, or at least my mum. i didn’t even say anything in response. i just smiled and did a thumbs up and promptly walked out of the shop wanting to crawl into a hole.

the first step beginning the walk home i began to breathe again. i exhale through my mouth and my steps quicken.

i get home and i sneeze. loud, spit flying and my eye twitches and waters. my mascara smudged so i looked like i was crying. maybe i was.

i should probably take hay fever tablets next time. but i probably won’t. because i’m not sure if i have hay fever. dad has it but that doesn’t mean i do. i haven’t been to a doctor, i don’t know for sure.

#poetry #prose #anxiety #my friends and family all have tiktok so it’s going here #internal monologue #you sly dog you got me monologuing #this probably makes no sense #autism?

Tfw someone told u they have fucking amnesia when they tried to go right back to fuckin and you didn't believe them but told them how they cut u off and they were like; "meh I don't remember it so whatever." And things have been chill and great lately but you feel bad that either you're taking complete advantage of amnesia and mental health decline or they're taking advantage of your willingness to act like nothing happened in favour of maintaining the comfortable arrangement.

Like. Things are so good now with them it's just heavenly. But in the back of my head I'm still thinking about what they said when they initially cut me off. It fucked me up good for the while it lasted. And now I don't have closure. If I'm the one taking advantage/avoiding a conversation that should be had and the amnesia is real then it could just happen again just like it did before. If I'm not careful. And if they're taking advantage then it won't happen again but on the other hand instead of apologizing for saying what they said they decided to say they don't remember it and expected me to believe it. And I do believe it, because I want to. I have no idea if it's actually true. I feel lucky as hell to get a rewind button like in a time loop. Things are the same as they always were.. right? So why are you suddenly acting more concerned toward me. Why are you asserting you care. I don't need looking out for from you. I need you to trust me to look out for myself so I can trust you to be real with me.

How much is truth and how much is fiction? And does it even matter? Probably not... even if I somehow obtained proof that this amnesia event was real or fake I would do nothing about it. If it was fake I think I'd be fucking elated. Cause this fucker went on a tangent about why they're bad for me and that would mean they reconsidered. *For me.* Either because they couldn't resist me or realized they were wrong about me and themselves. But it was FOR FUCKIN ME. And if it was real? I'd say I'd feel guilty but I honestly wouldn't. Not after what happened. Not after everything in play here. What does it even mean to take advantage if it's a mutual thing. Doesn't it cancel out? You turn a blind eye to my transgressions and I to yours. We're good in every way that matters to either of us. I will never be in love with you but I will always cherish you and lust after you. And I hope you feel the same way on the first point. But it's okay if you don't because the second can be enough for me. You have a place in my heart that was carved out from a long while of difficult times with aggressively stupid people. Talking to you is easy. Flirting with you is easy. It's so fucking easy I'm just waiting waiting waiting for the other shoe to drop. A second time. But it isn't dropping. I talk to you and I feel no apprehension, only excitement and occasionally relaxed camaraderie. I'm less scared of you than anyone else in my life; even my closest friend. Because what you and I have is so complex yet so easily defined and maintained. Like a native plant garden, it almost seems to care for itself. We don't talk for weeks, sometimes months. There is no awkwardness when we talk again. I say something I start to wonder is too much. You approach it with understanding. I listen to your fascinating life and you mine. We talk about things. We fuck about things. You are such a valuable person to me despite being monetarily and situationally useless. The circumstances of our situationship are so very strange. But it works. You start to feel guilt like you have some unwanted power and I level it on you like a crumbling city. I start to feel guilt and you erase it like it was never there to start with. It balances out.

So let me cleanse you a million times more of your guilty conscience every time it bubbles up. The strange nothings that clutter your mind with unhelpful judgements. Things about me and things that aren't. You have nothing to be guilty about. I would a thousand times leverage power over you than let you really truly believe that you hold ultimate power in this arrangement. We are equal because I am not afraid to do what must be done. Because I don't have moral hangups based on what some outsider might say. You tell me not to presume to know you more than I do. I think I have a decent picture; at least of the you that you are with me. And that's the only you that concerns me. You owe me no welcome to your life. Nor do I. We talk because we want to. You like to make yourself feel bigger than me; that's okay, I get it. I Do Too. Given the opportunity I am glad to prove myself over you. This works so well because chaos is balance. And this is chaos. An intersecting, compatible kind of chaos. I never think about you except when we talk. I think about you all the time. I adore and hate you. But in a way that is so simple. We both have so many cards to play. Let's play forever.
