#<- i fink it fits

[hellonerf]

this strawpage... @_@ anon ok i love thinking alot abt 1p&2p caname now how they'd all interact with each other (all a ruse to drive the two canames closer together as most things are) conjuring things in my mind now

funnily enough i think 1Pcana 2Pame is actually likely to go well together haha.... maybe at first cana is like wow (T_T) hes even more of an asshole than the ame i know... then blablabla WHAT?! he is being sincere transparent ?!?!?!?! the bewilderment of seeing a version of ur brother without his constant effort into projecting a specific image... i think cana is always. a little fascinated by these kinds of moments from ame but its moments he has to wrestle out of or comes after a kind of peak of things building up... and here it just comes out of this new ame?! without prompting?!? only awhile after they just met?!?! so heres the little weird bonding theyd have afterwards... easing of first impression hostilities.... and 2Pame is like haha a polite cana can u imagine... haha lol... haha hes sooo nicer and accomodates to me hahaa.. (looks down at feet).... then theyre projecting images of their dear brother with more agreeable behaviors into the other hahaha i love it.... both going if only he was this likeable!

even so i love base caname so in my mind this still comes to a head like... well you cant replace the bond and shared memories here... and i think 2Pame especially is more anxious or fidgety that this cana doesn't know the same things the other does... ohh hes nicer (missing the kind of specific care he needs)(looks around nervously) and 1Pcana is just not used to how this ame is... unable to talk to him about his little grievances... or joke about the same things they hate... this ame wont just sleep in the couch with me... (7_7) what will they do now?!

on the opposite end i think 1Pame and 2Pcana would just not like each other LOL i think i mentioned them before, finding what they could be interesting. i still find them interesting but in the way that i really dont think theyd get along and its really funny to me. just from first impression theyre like i dont like this guy... and then upon spending more time theyre like i REALLY dont like this guy... from 1Pame specifically i think hes just someone who doesnt mesh well with tough or more hostile demeanor guys i think... he doesnt like accomodating people and hes definitely not interested in this. this jerk?! (he was also kindof a jerk). especially since he looks like cana... i think he can deal with people who are colder like that if there is a semblance of attention or affection there.. with this new cana hes like u wont be nice to me and u wont even pay attention to me. (kills him in his mind). meanwhile 2Pcana is like hes annoying (without the inherent fondness he'd have for his ame from their shared childhood) Lol...

i think theyd just butt heads all the time... nobody willing to give in... especially especially since they look like someone they love. 1Pames just like what the hell :( wheres my cana who puts his hand in his face all exasperated and then drives me to where i asked him to anyways :( what the hell :( kill this fake cana with flamethrowers now (gritting teeth). and 2Pcana also cant stand him hes like this fakeness... fake politeness... who is this for. why are u saying excuse me. hate this performative behavior... (throws cigarette in his face). its like the worst traits of their loved one was put to the max... theyre like. sick of this guy already...

in my beautiful world ofcourse this makes the canames be like ok... so i love my... not his others... i just love him! all canames are beautiful and really funny and fun and cute! thank you anon idk if u'll end up seeing my ranting or if ur from twitter and not tumblr... but its really fun for me...

ANOTHER VENTURE SKIN HAS HIT THE OVERWATCH

[gutsfics]

AJ near the end of her pagent days. she hated everything about it but her mom was sooooo proud of her special girl & she didnt feel like she could tell her she wanted to stop

college years. she's considerably more comfortable in her skin at this point, wearing stuff that she wants to wear. she cuts and dyes her hair for her Clash At Sunset role and she Loves it, but her mom gets super pissed about it & since she isnt no contact yet, she grows her hair back out (but keeps dying it)

and her wedding day. originally she and Chris were planning something fairly lowkey and simple, but when her mom found out about it, she took over & turned it into another one of her pagents. Chris seemed to like the idea of a big wedding extravaganda so AJ didnt say anything about it, even though its not what she wanted

[awkward-fink]

can we get sun sign guesses for keegan and graves as well, if u are into that stuff even for a bit?

Hello! He, sure, why not, let me try and guess a bit about them. Its from my understanding from them though, so please bear with me.

Keegan He strikes me as a slightly typical and at the same moment an atypical Taurus. Taurus people are most noted for their dependability, patience and perseverance. Their quiet strength and determination inspires others to trust them. But they can also get suspicious and stingy if you handle them the wrong way and are quite easily angered if your rub certain red flags into their paths. So yeah, Keegan is dependable, patient, he has to be as a sniper. He is ambitious as well and though Taurus people are said to only take change in slight doses they can plan for, he is striving and fighting for change. At least change in some aspects of his life and the life of others.

And hey, its said that Taurus' most erogenous zones are the neck an throat. ^^

Graves Alright, I have to admit I was a bit torn about his sun sign. First I thought, Leo because its lust and love on live, striving to life everything to its fullest and damn the consequences. But, there was also Scorpio, which also has so many facets that would fit into my own understanding of Graves. In the end, if i had to choose, which I have to here, I would choose Scorpio. Scorpio is the sign of extremes, the best and the worst humanity can offer all put and pushed into one sign. Scorpios need a positive outlet for themselves or else they can easily show signs of brooding, jealousy and vengefulness. And if Graves isnt showing that, I dont know. He must have felt pushed down and corraled in red tape and constrictions without being able to do anything to help in a way he knew he could, but was never allowed to, that he had to make the change himself. A small excerpt i found very fitting is this: When positive emotions are engaged the Scorpion energy, drive and endurance shine through. They can accomplish many things in life because of their tenacity in sticking with projects when others lose patience and stamina. They never forget a kindness and repay generously. On the other hand if you cross them they make a dangerous enemy and getting even is never enough. Emotion rules Scorpio. They are passionate about everything they become involved in.  (Source: thehoroscopejunkie.ca)

The fangirl urge to create a crossover between my two current favorite things

[eri-is-online]

I had to get a little self indulgent this time around introducing my personal redesign of a sonic boom/ revamp of Eggette/Omlette!

Is she biologically theirs? Fanchild miracle baby? Adopted? Vaguely related some way which will never be explained? up to you! I just wanted to hop on the train of giving stobotnik a kid bc they'd make the best evil gay dads EVER.

I also headcannoned her name as Zara Robotik because it sounded both Arabic and Slavic/Russian like Stone and Robotnik's names plus it's just adorable, and my hc voice for her is Lara Jill Miller aka Fink from Ok KO because I thought it was fitting for her smarmy little self.

Trust me when I say this is NOT the last you'll see of this little lady, she was way too much fun to design so she'll be making appearances here and there among my other stobotnik art.

C'mon, he's just a little ring a ding ding guy

-

He is voiced by Matthew Perry because he was such a fan of fallout they gave him the role of the man who shoots you in the head

You can sleep with him (yes he has shot you in the head BEFORE this) and it is the cheesiest dialogue ever! “Shake those Charlie’s for the Benman, hey”

He is rather concerned for you if you try and sleep with him.

He’s trying to make the Strip a bit better because he believes the person in charge (House) is wrong but I’m trying to replace him he is becoming like him and that’s tragic

He has a fun robot friend!

You can crucify him or fight him to the death or kill him basically anyway you can imagine

He got caught sneaking into a camp of slavers because he refused to change his hair for the outfit

He wears the same stupid suit walking around a bunch of the Mojave Desert (Goodsprings-Vegas, taking a road)

He says “I ain’t a fink, ya dig?” And less than a minute after shoots you in the head

GECKO ISNT EVEN HIS LAST NAME but it fits the vibes super well and also he’s kinda silly

He’s just a fun guy, y’know :D

[purplepeptobismol]

South Park IWMOY Kid’s Music Taste!!

Okay, so I’m finally doing this post, which is also a response to this post here! Yes, I’ve actually had this for a while, do not judge me 🙁.

Cooper

• Buried Alive - Radio Werewolf • No Me Queda Más - Selena  • Not Allowed - TV Girl  • Uzumaki - Machine Girl • Rompe - Daddy Yankee  

Cooper would listen to almost every genre! Pop, rap, punk, indie, edm, midwest emo shit— yeah, literally everything! He just wants a song to fit his in-current mood. Overall favors a lot of goth music and stuff related to death because that’s so freaking funny guys. He actually gets along with Isa because of this (he would get along with Agatha 🫢). Cooper is also the type of person who would find weird, obscure songs like I Fink U Freeky fun and Emilio would just stare at him like: “…🧍‍♂️ aight bro…” ☠️✋ LMAO!! BUT, like I stated in the headcanon post, he actually listens to reggaeton, bachata, and other Latin American music! Hell fucking yeah you’ll see Isa and Cooper dancing huapangos and cumbia and other shii together at parties (to Kyle’s and Emilio’s displeasure 🥱). Fr tho, I think Kyle wouldn’t mind at first, even find it a bit cute, until they both turn 16/17 and then he’s suddenly all like “hey, hey— too close, buddy 😡!” SKLSKD

[Video] (Go, white boy! Go!!)

Emilio

• Man of the Year - ScHoolboy Q • Swimming Pools (Drank) - Kendrick Lamar  • Fell in Luv - Playboi Carti (ft. Bryson Tiller) • IFHY - Tyler, the Creator (ft. Pharrell Williams) • Cowbell Warrior - SXMPRA

Bet you didn’t see that coming! Yeah, he’s into that hip-hop-rap, R&B, phonk, jumpstyle, fast-pace music, and even a bit of hard rock! It’s funny because I can see him finishing having an anxiety attack in secret only to then blast a song about ‘fucking bitches and getting money.’ 🤑🤙 Ayeee. I do think he’ll have a couple of other songs outside of these genres but if you asked him what his favorite genre is, he’d tell you rap 🤷‍♂️. Damn.. Emilio and I would’ve been chill ass friends. I’m not gonna lie, jazz rap has gotten him a bit into poetry and flow writing 🙄…. No, I’m NOT letting him become a sound cloud rapper!!! He just likes the beats !! Remember, he likes going fast and race cars!!! RACE CARS GUYS!!!

Isa

• Here Comes the Bastards - Primus • Bitchboy - The Oozes • Bad Reputation - Joan Jett • Break Stuff - Limp Bizkit • Chic ‘N’ Stuff - System Of A Down

Rock, punk, metal, and all those alternative songs are her main jam!!! Y’know, songs that make her want to break stuff and skater vibe songs too. Or songs that she can jam in her electric guitar! Old school rock music is her favorite because it’s the main genre Stan taught her when she was first learning the electric guitar 🥹🙏. Like with Coop, I do think she will still listens to a bit of everything, but doesn’t play it day-to-day (does that make sense??). Like, if a song blows up and it’s catchy, she’ll probably add it in her library! Probably has a couple of meme songs now that I think about it… OH!!! But Isa and Cooper are the main ones in group karaoke to sing Cupcakke or Ayesha Erotica songs 💅 (no one tell Kyle and Stan that). I don’t doubt she has a cunty playlist for when she feels cunty, or some club music for when she feels like dancing. Yeah, okay fine— she has different playlists for different moods. 

[Video]

Kate 

• Dreaming of You - Selena • Once Upon a December - Liz Callaway • Running Up the Hill - Kate Bush • Falling Slowly - Markéta Irglová, Glen Hansard • What Was I Made For? - Billie Eilish 

A majority of her song list are from female artists I’m not gonna lie. I do picture her having a lot of old classic 70s pop just as much as modern pop. Musicals or songs you’ll hear in movies are straight up going to her library. Since she likes watching a lot of movies, I do think she’ll have some instrumental soundtrack! Very soft tunes— think cottagecore, or even ‘Over the Rainbow’ by Judy Garland. Since I headcanon that both Coop and Kate grew up with a vintage vinyl record of Selena Quintanilla’s hits, I think Kate could’ve fallen in love with that feeling she gets when she listens to her songs. Overall good feel and such a vibe!! Don’t think she doesn’t have sad songs tho… there’s a couple of tear jerkers in there there 😔….

Robin

• Spartacus Suite No. 2: 1. Adagio of Spartacus & Phrygia - Aram Khachaturian • Liquid Smooth - Mitski • La Vie En Rose - Édith Piaf • Cristales - Post Crucifixion • Rock Lobster - The B-52’s 

Robin is interesting, because you would think she only likes one type of genre or every genre. It’s actually in between!!! Sure, she likes goth music and a bit of old school rock songs because of Kyle and Stan— but she also digs songs from different languages, classic music, and a bit of somber-girl music. I like to think that Kyle wanted to be sophisticated for once and took his family to an orchestra or a ballet performance, and Robin fell in love with the music (meanwhile Isa went to a rock concert and fell in love with that instead LMAO). After that, I feel like Robin would want to go to more orchestra/ballet performances with Kyle and they’d have some sweet father-daughter bonding moment 😞❤️‍🩹. By sad girl music, I mean it like it is— sad-girl music— like, you’d hear it in the background of some contemporary dance. I do think she’ll have old 50s songs just like Kate, especially if they’re different languages. For some reason, those songs remind her a lot of her parents, so when she’s in her out of state uni and gets home sick, she’ll play those songs and miss her family so much (save my girl 💔)…

Ok ok. These are a some of the examples I had written down 🙂‍↕️ I hope this helped paint an image of their vibe though!!!

A year in illustration, 2023 edition (part two)

(This is part two; part one is here.)

The West Midlands Police were kind enough to upload a high-rez of their surveillance camera control room to Flickr under a CC license (they've since deleted it), and it was the perfect frame for dozens of repeating clown images with HAL9000 red noses. This worked out great. The clown face is from a 1940s ad for novelty masks.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/23/automation-blindness/#humans-in-the-loop

I spent an absurd amount of time transforming a photo I took of three pinball machines into union-busting themed tables, pulling in a bunch of images from old Soviet propaganda art. An editorial cartoon of Teddy Roosevelt with his big stick takes center stage, while a NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo's official portrait presides over the scene. I hand-made the eight-segment TILT displays.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/06/goons-ginks-and-company-finks/#if-blood-be-the-price-of-your-cursed-wealth

Working with the highest-possible rez sources makes all the difference in the world. Syvwlch's extremely high-rez paint-scraper is a gift to people writing about web-scraping, and the Matrix code waterfall mapped onto it like butter.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/17/how-to-think-about-scraping/

This old TWA ad depicting a young man eagerly pitching an older man has incredible body-language – so much so that when I replaced their heads with raw meat, the intent and character remained intact. I often struggle for background to put behind images like this, but high-rez currency imagery, with the blown up intaglio, crushes it.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/04/dont-let-your-meat-loaf/#meaty-beaty-big-and-bouncy

I transposed Photoshop instructions for turning a face into a zombie into Gimp instructions to make Zombie Uncle Sam. The guy looking at his watch kills me. He's from an old magazine illustration about radio broadcasting. What a face!

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/18/the-people-no/#tell-ya-what-i-want-what-i-really-really-want

The mansplaining guy from the TWA ad is back, but this time he's telling a whopper. It took so much work to give him that Pinnocchio nose. Clearly, he's lying about capitalism, hence the Atlas Shrugged cover. Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" makes for an excellent, public domain hellscape fit for a nonconensual pitch about the miracle of capitalism.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/27/six-sells/#youre-holding-it-wrong

There's no better image for stories about techbros scamming rubes than Bosch's 'The Conjurer.' Throw in Jeff Bezos's head and an Amazon logo and you're off to the races. I boobytrapped this image by adding as many fingers as I could fit onto each of these figures in the hopes that someone could falsely accuse me of AI-generating this. No one did.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/06/attention-rents/#consumer-welfare-queens

Once again, it's Bosch to the rescue. Slap a different smiley-face emoji on each of the tormented figures in 'Garden of Earthly Delights' and you've got a perfect metaphor for the 'brand safety' problem of hard news dying online because brands don't want to be associated with unpleasant things, and the news is very unpleasant indeed.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/11/ad-jacency/#brand-safety

I really struggle to come up with images for my linkdump posts. I'm running out of ways to illustrate assortments and varieties. I got to noodling with a Kellogg's mini-cereal variety pack and I realized it was the perfect place for a vicious gorilla image I'd just found online in a WWI propaganda poster headed 'Destroy This Mad Brute.' I put so many fake AI tells in this one – extra pupils, extra fingers, a super-AI-esque Kellogg's logo.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/05/variegated/#nein

Bloodletting is the perfect metaphor for using rate-hikes to fight inflation. A vintage image of the Treasury, spattered with blood, makes a great backdrop. For the foreground, a medieval woodcut of bloodletting quacks – give one the head of Larry Summers, the other, Jerome Powell. For the patient, use Uncle Sam's head.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/20/bloodletting/#inflated-ego

I killed a long videoconference call slicing up an old pulp cover showing a killer robot zapping a couple of shrunken people in bell-jars. It was the ideal image to illustrate Big Tech's enshittification, especially when it was decorated with some classic tech slogans.

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/22/who-wins-the-argument/#corporations-are-people-my-friend

There's something meditative about manually cutting out Tenniel engravings from Alice – the Jabberwock was insane. But it was worth it for this Tron-inflected illustration using a distorted Cartesian grid to display the enormous difference between e/acc and AI doomers, and everyone else in the world.

[ramblingguy54]

The more I think on it, the more I believe Wild Robot is arguably the perfect Dreamworks' movie for myself.

Roz & Brightbill feeling like outsiders to their respective origins really sells the weight of how truly lost and lonely both are in their pursuit of understanding what to make of it all. Their dynamic being brought together through heartbreaking misfortune is immensely profound. Makes me reflect upon what own my mother went through trying to fit in with her family, but never could. Just as I have always been insecure about trying to figure out my own place, when she brought me into this world and a big family. In retrospect, we both felt "defective" for our own reasons.

Usually, I don't cry often at movies, or anything for that matter, but their internal struggle of acting like a natural mother & son drives a knife through my heart in the best manner. A surreal mirror of my own life struggling to feel okay with being myself. Further reinforcing how much I love my mother went above and beyond to give me a life of happiness, in spite of whatever bumps in the road happened.

"The accident that killed your family saved you. Funny how life works...?"

The Wild Robot's biggest feat, if not one of many, is managing to make all the denizens of this island not feel insanely mean spirited. It is more so capturing that harsh aspect of nature's morbid atmosphere. In this regard, those chances of Brightbill making it as the runt of that litter were practically nonexistent without Roz's unexpected arrival. He likely would've been either killed by nature's intense elements, a lurking predator of some kind, or end with his biological mother giving up on helping him learn to fly. It served to emphasize nature's survival instincts, in contrast to Roz's evolving compassion for Brightbill. No one else wanted to help the poor kid out because all they saw was dead meat, more or less. Even Fink, despite warming up to Brightbill, wanted to eat him right off the bat after coming across his egg.

Brightbill's weak wings weren't psychically capable in achieving normal flight, much less even a full on migration. However, Roz's determination allowed him to be able to survive from winter, just like the rest of his species. It's the beauty of showing kindness, even to those who may or not like you that can inspire emotional growth. Learning to stay optimistic in an unforgiving environment can bring out the best surprises from places you'd least expect it.

"This is my migration. And when it is time I promise I will find my way home."

The Wild Robot's heavily endearing lesson about kindness persevering makes its ending feel entirely earned. The animals don't just get along with each other right off the bat. Almost dying from that terrible winter storm was a serious wake up call they can't rely on being by themselves forever. Survival instincts or not, it's about opening yourself up to the possibility of trusting and relying upon genuine emotions. Much like Brightbill's entire character was learning to accept Roz did genuinely care for his well being as his mother. Tragedy may have created their situation, but it doesn't define whatever comes next in building a heartfelt connection.

Honestly, it's why I believe The Wild Robot is among Dreamworks' very finest stories they've animated to life. Taking basic ideas spicing them up to feel more emotionally introspective about ourselves. Hell, I'd probably place at it the very top of my number one spot in my favorite Dreamworks' content. It seriously affected me in ways I didn't expect. A bold statement to be sure, but that alone should be a damn great enough reason, as far as I'm concerned.

A simple story about parenthood can do wonders. Especially when it's executed in this caliber of writing. Chris Sanders and his team are legends in their own making.
