#your name is on my skin

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

The indescribable tension between an overworked and underpaid smut writer, and his biggest fan hater.

(for @frummpets)

#SVSSS #Shen yuan #shang qinghua #cumplane #Normally I don't tag with ship names but this one is a special case. #Confession time: When I first had SVSSS described to me I 100% thought the main pairing was between these two. #The dynamic is impeccable! Even if its 'just a fan ship' I stand by it. #Sorry to the people who like to think of them as handsome pretty boys. I don't. #These guys sit in their rooms and use the computer for 90% of waking hours. They are not looking after themselves well enough for good skin #They can be cute in their own way. People with acne and missed shaving spots deserve to have their romances too. #And sloppy hate makeouts <3 #Hi Sol! I truly did whoop and holler when drawing your name for the raffle! #You've been so kind and generous towards me and I'd happy to finally have the opportunity to give back some of that joy! #Thank you so much for all your support and the incredible fanart <3 You've made my day so many times! #I hope this silly mini comic is to your liking! #Playing around with colours for this one was a blast!

#images i drew on my phone approximately 90 seconds before class started #tma vs tgcf is pitting two bad bitches against each other but #from the other guys propaganda he is apparently a beloved side character #which i totally understand. #BUT HUA CHENG IS THE DEUTERANTAGONIST WHO LOVED XIE LIAN SO MUCH IT UNDOOMED HIM FROM THE NARRATIVE #HE DIDNT CLAW HIS WAY OUT OF TONGLU TO BE BEATEN LIKE THIS #also tma has gay people that dont undoom each other from the narrative. L + ratio (/j/j/j/j we all love tragedies here) #hua cheng will never rest in peace and he doesn't want to because he has a smokin boyfriend #they are both angry goths but has gerry died THREE TIMES????? no. just once. lame. #gerry got his skin bound into a necromancy book that was eventually burned but hua cheng ripped out his eye to craft a sickass scimitar !!! #hua cheng haunts the narrative before he dies in a hundred tiny ways and then HEAVILY after he dies a second time #he's an awesome city owner and has violent beef with HEAVEN. and he carves statues and paints and builds temples #and is also a self conscious loser <3 #his gay awakening was intensely traumatic and religious for everybody involved. and he's had the same life mission since he was 10 #he is actively fighting ghost discrimination and getting dangerous magical items off of the normal human market #also he is always bedecked in elaborate silver and chains and eyeliner and ALWAYS in blood red clothes #HE CAN MAKE IT RAIN BLOOD!!???!?!? ALSO #he stick and poked his god's name on himself but his handwriting is so bad it's unrecognizable and the signs he puts up have evil auras #this has ceased to be propaganda. now im just gushing. only tgcf fans will see this anyway. whatever youre getting blorbo rant #tgcf #art #poll #hua cheng #lmao #my art #tian guan ci fu #hualian #xie lian #hob #heaven official's blessing

au in which Mav is Ice's soulmate in every single universe, but Ice isn't Mav's in most of them. Black and colourful ink on his body doesn't stop Ice from loving him in every fold of the universe.

(au in which Mav meets more than one Ice after an incident, and they all share their part of the story, and they all have a part of their Mav imprinted on their skins. Mav finds himself hoping to wake up to run far away from Ice as possible but straight between his arms at the same time.)

the most annoying thing about me/cfs is that it's more like 10 different illnesses in a trenchcoat. i'll wake up with a new symptom and be like "oh okay, guess that's what we're doing today"

#pretty much anything can be a symptom of me/cfs so you're constantly left wondering if the new bullshit you're going through #is a sign of some other illness or if its just your old pal me/cfs getting creative again #ive been having a really bad whole body itch these past few days and i have no idea where it's coming from or when it's going to go away #but i would like not to feel like theres an electric current running beneath my skin thanks #i think the constant fatigue brain fog and muscle pain is more than enough #maybe it's just a crash or something though idk #(briefly) left the house for the first time in over a month on friday and it was really nice but my body Did Not Like It #so now its punishing me for my hubris #ugh #chronic illness #actually chronically ill #me/cfs #myalgic encephalomyelitis #chronic fatigue syndrome #can someone please come up with a better name for this illness #chronic illness fuckery

So you know how Takayoshi gifted Akemi two songbirds in a cage together as a sincere apology for his mother?

I think those two birds are meant to symbolize both Akemi and Takayoshi. They are both marginalized in some way despite their privilege. Akemi as the daughter of a lord and Takayoshi as the disabled second son of the shogun are both denied agency in their roles despite their privilege. Takayoshi and Akemi both are song birds in a gilded cage. Two pawns to the political and social machinations of their parents. Akemi a victim to her father’s political aspirations and Takayoshi evidently a victim to his mother’s social manipulations.

(Aside: and possibly emotional abuse/neglect, with the way he was forbidden from speaking to women and who knows what actually happened to this first wife. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it seems to me like this is all in service of maintaining a “respectable” image of the family, and cannot risk having people know he has a stutter. just spitballing here)

If I were to make a prediction for season 2, or a wish, it’s that I would like to see Akemi and Takayoshi form a genuine bond and alliance as two privileged-yet-marginalized individuals having to navigate a politically fraught and rigidly hierarchical society, and I think there’s at least some textual evidence to support this being a real possibility.

They demonstrate in the show Takayoshi is no fool and that he’s clearly an educated and well-read man. Take how he engages with Akemi’s poetry during sex compared to Taigen as an example. He simply has a disability and is somewhat submissive and subdued (likely due to being shamed or ridiculed for his stutter and getting little to no support as a child). They are capable of being intellectual equals. Any sort of power or control Akemi would gain over Takayoshi is by virtue of the kindness and empathy she is showing him, not because she’s outsmarting him. I believe Takayoshi is willingly surrendering himself to his wife and cognizant of this fact.

I think we may see a dynamic where Akemi will both advocate for her own political ends but also at times advocate for and try to protect her husband where she can where familial and interpersonal relationships are involved. I really really hope their union will be one that grows in political power through the healing power of love, compassion, and solidarity between two marginalized individuals.

They can acknowledge the humanity in each other and see each other as equals in their shared pain and victimization, and find empowerment through each other. If they cannot be their own masters at least they can be each other’s sole masters.

Takayoshi and Akemi may be two songbirds stuck in a gilded cage, stripped of their freedom and humanity. But they at least have each other and together they can harmonize.

#ramblogging #blue eye samurai #akemi blue eye samurai #takayoshi blue eye samurai #im convinced takayoshi’s gift of two birds is a symbol of his sincere willingess to build an emotional and political alliance with akemi #a recognition of their status as equals on some level #namely being marginalized #suddenly have the urge to draw akemi and takayoshi sitting together on a swing inside a bird cage #looking somber in bird-like kimono #i think people only see akemi as manipulating takayoshi #but tbh i think takayoshi might be a bit like her willing participant #well as willing as you can be when your choices are manipulative loving wife vs manipulative bitch mother #and akemi hasnt shown herself to be so utterly heartless that she would manipulate takayoshi against his own interests? #akemi has regularly shown concern and empathy for others #second to her freedom i think akemi wants nothing more but to genuinely connect with others #akemi would not be happy with herself nor would she be satisfied if her kindneds towards takayoshi were only skin deep #anyway that’s my 2 cents

Ao3 Authors stop tagging your OC X Canon fan fiction as Canon X Reader challenge (impossible)

#I AM AT MY FUCKING LIMIT ISTG #TAG YOUR SHIT #I DONT WANNA READ ABOUT YOUR WEIRDLY NAMED OC I WANNA DAYDREAM ABOUT MYSELF GETTING DICKED DOWN #BY FICTIONAL MEN!!!!!!!!! #AND I CANT DO THAT IF YOU GIVE THE ‘READER’ A SPECIFIED HAIR SKIN EYE COLOR HAIR TEXTURE LENGTH NAME ETC #TAG YOUR SHIT PROPERLY PEOPLE COME THE FUCK ON #fan fiction #rant #fanfic #Ao3 #Otw #archive of our own #ficblr #writeblr #looking at YOU ESPECIALLY COD FANDOM

[hiis-theme]

i've noticed there's a slight problem on ao3 of people tagging undertale fanfics as deltarune when there's. literally no deltarune aspects. or only a couple here and there. i feel like that should probably be reserved for undertale fanfics that prominently feature deltarune characters/are a full-on crossover-

#puppy rambles #deltarune #undertale fanfics are great and all but when i look through the deltarune tag i want deltarune fanfics #not undertale fanfics that don't include any deltarune aspects or like #maybe mention a deltarune character's undertale counterpart offhandedly- #the only other instance i could think of where i'd get it would be if you're referring to chara as kris #which is probably a more accurate name tbh given what we know about them both they act very similar they're definitely equivalents #though appearance-wise kris is closer to frisk actually (skin color + red eyes which chara is never portrayed with) #in the soulless pacifist ending frisk having red eyes when possessed by chara is probably because. frisk has red eyes- #idk why they possess frisk and take the player's soul anyways- actually they're probably trying to make you fucking stop #“PLEASE stop killing everyone. i literally took your soul why are you still here-” #“determination” “DON'T USE MY LINES AGAINST ME-”

it is so upsettingly funny that we’ve had thirteen golden years of hating on the percy jackson movies but the minute the series chooses to cast an incredible annabeth who just happens to be black it’s like oh!! they are all of a sudden better than we thought and just needed a renaissance hmmmhmhmm

#i actually agree that the movies are more iconic than initially realised and the awfulness is enjoyable anyway #but to suggest that they are a good let alone BETTER adaptation is so unbelievably silly #like cmon people they are objectively bad but that’s what makes them good not skin colour jesus fucking christ #grow up and enjoy your childhood hand-delivering you blue-coloured candy #percy jackson #annabeth chase #(not to suggest the tv show doesn’t have issues btw) #namely disney’s support of israel #as well as my (far far less significant) personal disagreement with some of the plot/story changes

Howdy peepers, I've been feeling pretty down lately but I think I'm on the right path to snap out of it!

See yall on monday hopefully

#to be honest recent political news got me anxious and just.. disheartened #not gonna lie rather depressed #but i guess that's a normal reaction #god it's just so awful #change of subject- i might be a bit burned out too because of all the stressing i subjected myself to this month #but worries be damned my grades ain't overall half bad #THO you just can't catch a break when it comes to college it seems #like we have to sign up for our classes on this website #based on your major obviously #and some people just don't pick the right classes hhhhh #and you see the waiting list for the class you need to sign up to is full because the goofs don't know what their course code is #which is weird like 😭 maybe there's a GOOD reason why your group mates' names aren't on the class list #because you didn't pick the right one aaaaaa #get outta here fella pleaaase #also on an unrelated note: it turns out i have a mild case of rosacea #it's not that suprising skin conditions run in the family #my mom's side of family at least #like my grandpa had rosacea. my mom has it too. my sister had acne (not anymore tho). my older brother too has something going on #i just thought i got lucky and inherited my dad's skin but guess not 💀 #funniest thing is that almost everything makes rosacea act up #heat? cold? spicy food? stress? exercise? stress? alcohol? GODDAMN SUNLIGHT??? #you name it #so yeahh not pleasant #if it won't get better mom will make an appointment with a dermatologist #uhh.. i guess that's all i wanted to say #for now at least #miss you guys hope all of you have been doing well :'> #random squeak

Love is not enough. I need a mutual obsession.

Someone who will burn down the world for me if I ask them to, knowing that I would gladly maul anyone for them in return like the pathetic mutt I am.

Someone who will love me in all of my monstrosity, whose eyes will never wander, because being without me is like lacking oxygen. And I will be forever faithful with unwavering loyalty, as my person is perfection- they're everything I will ever need.

one of the most frustrating and racist parts of the Bg3 fandom is when white fans make their evil dark urge characters and somehow finally find the (minimal) nonwhite features and darker skin tones section of the character creation

#ewbie.txt #all your characters are the shade of milk except for the one that’s evil?? #‘​here’s my evil durge with a hooked nose and darker skin she’s sooo evil here’s her also ethnic name’

[pennamepersona]

hey when withers says thou shall not perish while i endure or whatever, how literal is that. is durge functionally immortal. is durge undead. [shakes the bars of my enclosure] i need to know

#bg3 #bg3 dark urge #bg3 durge #bg3 withers #baldurs gate 3 #for my first durge i used one of the decay skin tones #bc i felt like that was fitting #and i liked it a lot it's very cool the tips of your ears are slightly dark and your lips are kinda grey #it's got the vibe of Something Is Wrong Here #and i'm js i think it would make sense if durge was a little bit kind of undead #at the very least post temple of bhaal if they reject the urge #also i had to find the mirror to check the name of that skin tone #and can i just ask. why is it so fucking far away in the shadow cursed camp. #also did y'all know there's fully a bed in that camp. like it's a shitty bed but there's a fireplace and everything #the different camp layouts are so fucking wild
