#i do love it here #i do! truly! it's the greatest city in the world!#but i am so tired of rolling with disadvantage with every social interaction #i'm tired of looking like an asshole all the time #(not that i don't already in the usual course of events i suppose)#i've just leaned *hard* into the 'dumb american'#and y'all i am laying on the southern accent REAL thick #tbh? it does wonders.#part of that is that 'yessir' and 'no ma'am' are very firmly baked in #and i guess that these folks don't have enough of an ear for it to differentiate 'genteel deep southerner' from 'scruffy white trash'#but for the most part it's worked out to my advantage #this is a fuckin absurd place tho. 'squirty cream.' y'all are not a serious country.#i miss my cat. i'm tired of their accents. i'm tired of their fuckin attitude fr tbh.#but then i'll turn a corner and smell some kind of street food #or watch a whole bus full of people offer their seat to an achingly new mother #or everyone on a sidewalk go to catch an old woman when she stumbles #or see some toddlers playing on a 15th century grave #or i'll be out walking at night and a fox will stop while it's crossing the street to look at me with wariness but no fear as if to say #'i see you. i see you very well.'#or. or-- and this is the big one #the weird high wailing and deep rumbling of the victoria line which is something i can't describe; i don't have the art #but it's like they actually unearthed what this city has sounded like for thousands of years #joyous and fierce and pitiless #and like. where the fuck else would i ever possibly want to live? if i want to live at all i want to live here.#like the man said: '...then you're tired of life.'#domine dirige nos #about.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

#dinosaur #evolution #comic #prehistoric #animal #wildlife #paleontology #biology #poetry #comics #original #my art #archaeopteryx has no direct living descendants i know #but i wanted something aerial and the dinosaur to bird connection is classic and well known anyway #also the chicken over any other bird is very on purpose #its the mix of truth and comedy and genuineness and the fantastic in the mundane #its me asking you to see something so wonderful in something taken so un-seriously #and to love it both ways #also the jurassic park thing #where someone saw the reconstructed gait of a dino #and said. hey hang on. i know that walk.#and pulled up footage of a chicken walking #which jumpstarted the entire study into the link between dinosaurs and birds #in the end take whatever you want from it i just thought id provide some insight #i always like it when other artists do #the point is that i enjoy when people laugh at the end and when they dont #and i like it when they cry. i like it best when they both laugh and cry. eeaao intent #anyway mourn your losses but to live is to change #also hi guys i finally figured out tipping after 5 months so no more annoying ko-fi link #the antidote to despair is awe

Hey now, Let her cook!

#dungeon meshi #chilchuck tims #senshi #laios touden #marcille donato #izutsumi #oyasumi punpun #<- In case you are wondering what the source for the little bird guy is.#Yeah that's right. I'm back to my extremely obscure crossover BS.#Punpun is one of those series that falls under the category of 'Good! but I cannot responsibly recommend this to anyone."#If Dungeon Meshi is like a friend asking you to go on a quick errand and you accidently go on a life changing roadtrip -#Punpun is your friend asking to go on a quick errand and they pull up to the vet and tell you your dog is being put down.#Then they explode into sludge. Melting your car. You hitchhike back but the person who picked you up is an axe murderer.#I could not finish it. My friends who did say it was good. But agree it was for the best I did not finish it.#Hey speaking of tone twists...We are one episode away from one of my favourite chapters being animated!#WHO'S READY FOR THE SENSHI BACKSTORY! WHO IS READY TO CRY!#ME! I AM! I spooked my flatmate with how energetic I was this morning. I'm vibrating with energy I was not designed to contain.#I should talk about today's episode here: It was very good. I love how they animated the familiars.#And!!! Anime only people now are in the loop on the Chilchuck lore. Part 1 of many. He still contains multitudes.#They all do to be honest! If this episode told us anything it was that we still don't know these characters as well as we think!#See you guys next week. I'll be inconsolable.

would you bite the hand that feeds you?

#pearlescentmoon #smajor1995 #wild life smp #namemc spoilers #i hope these two never get along in the storyline i find them fascinating #OKAY SO #originally i had this sketch back in session 2 when scott manages to throw her something actually edible JUST IN TIME #and now with the namemc spoilers of pearl ACTUALLY having a yellow eye which does! kind of match scotts esp since he died for this #i figured itd be an appropriate time #i did edit it though the original was pearl eating smth #now do i think scott and pearl has had any Major (heh) interactions to warrant this fanart in WL?#frankly no LMAO theyve been very civil you go guys . but i like the dynamics between them anyway #also i finally got a piece with scott!!! hes been very hard to draw goodness #anyway long rambly tags #eydidraws #my art #mcyt #trafficblr #galaxyduo #majormoon #** i say civil because its just been more on verbal light jabs at each other rather than anything Really significant ?#and well. its obvious all 3Gs are being very careful around each other which makes me JUST A L IL SAD #id love to see them let loose and be vicious but i also understand the angle theyre coming from #anyway can you tell i like the 3g dynamics

Good luck during pride month to all the aroaces who are gonna be blasted with "love is love" everywhere

Edit:

This post includes aplatonic people, loveless aros and any other people who fall anywhere on the aro and ace spectrum.

Stop saying "but theres platonic love and familial love-"

#nothing wrong with love is love but pls being queer isnt just about loving someone #it can also be about the lack of love im certain aspects of peoples lives etc.#idk if that explains it very well but whatever #pride month #lgbtqia #aroace #aromantic #asexual #this goes to anyone on the aro and/or ace spectrum btw #anyway have fun during pride month everyone i hope you have a great time #im turning the reblogs back on #but if i see one person say any shit abouy platonic love im disabling it agaain

#mcu #marvel cinematic universe #xmen #xmen movies #xmen first class #cherik #charles xavier #erik lehnsherr #professor x #magneto #snap sketches #'snap i thought you were drawing old cherik this weekend' so did i but i was inflicted with visions sorry </3 #i have my lil 92 comic sketched so ill do that tomorrow. not finish it but ill work on it 💀#i wsa just gonna draw the first thing but then i figureed i might as well draw Most of the beach-divorce-related things i want to #just so i could put it all on one post. however this is a lie and i know ill wanna doodle more beach stuff #the first drawing Unsurprisingly was motivated BY the xmen 41 legion quest cover- at the very least the total blackout of erik's face #i wanna draw more of erik using his powers .. i wanna figure out how i wanna draw the effect etc etc #i was just gonna redraw the cover but i already liked the sketch i did of the first thing so. here we are #plus i figure someones already done a redraw of the cover but if anyone cares ill finish my version ig LOL #as for the comic ermmm it was just an excuse to draw erik with glowing eyes </3 and fading-glowing eyes </3 #thats why i didnt draw the whole. Choking Moira bit. but i wouldve if i was redrawing the whole scene #kinda wish i did now that i think of it cause it coulda looked cooler prob but oh well maybe in like. three months when i redraw this #for exactly five cents ill redraw the whole beach divorce erlkjealkaje i can see it so clearly in my mind #what if first class was a comic drawn by a freak thatd be wild #but yeah thats why everything look rough as christ these were just supposed to be silly lil thangs #'silly things' and its beach divorce OK.#ok bye im gonna do my homework

i <3 when parker appears out of thin air

#leverage #alec hardison #sophie devereaux #parker leverage #nathan ford #eliot spencer #nate ford #leverage memes #leverageposting #sophie devereaux leverage #again if you can see the particularly fucked editing. no u cant.#i have to be awake in... oh i wish i didnt know that #some of these contextually make sense w the scene the shots from & some scenes very very loosely work & some. well. shh.#eg for scene very very loosely fits: im gonna imagine that this is how sophie formally introduced herself to the team lmao #the parker one is from directly after she startled sterling by magically appearing (zanzibar marketplace) so that makes actual sense

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

#personal #rottmnt #although tbf its probably because with leo its unpacked more thoroughly in the movie #donnie is not a morally ambiguous emotionally unavailable bad boy. he is very sensitive actually #he's a little crybaby /aff #and like this isnt hidden. he isnt SECRETLY sensitive or secretly caring its very out in the open actually #he's not hiding it well AT ALL AND THEY ALL KNOW IT LMAOOOOOOOO #i think donnie's perception of himself is somewhat earnest and somewhat. not? he DEFINITELY thinks he's more evil than he actually is #BGHFHDHGJFHG #i think what causes him to lash out and struggle to communicate is his inability to articulate his feelings #they are just too big for him. like its the exact opposite of robotic #he cant force himself to give a fuck but when he DOES its too much #so he yells and lashes out or he shuts down completely #honestly i think the perception of him being too sensitive being a problem makes way more sense than the perception of him being 'robotic'#when it comes to struggles in how his family sees him at least #even in little ways you can see him take it pretty personally when he's insulted #he struggles to blow things off #and i think it would also explain his tendency to like. visibly calm himself down when he gets upset? its a thing he does a lot in the show #he desperately wants to destroy that perception of him because he's trying so hard to close himself off #he doesn't want to be the sensitive one that cant take anything. it especially works in line with his shell #it was a big inspiration for canary continuity tbh. donnie should struggle with being the sensitive one in fic more #mikey is more empathetic and he's more emotional but donnie's quicker to feel offended or take things personally #BACKED UP HEAVILY BY CANON #that 'you can be honest with me! no hard feelings' - 'he's lyinggggggg'#like he's not upset with them babying him as much as he is with them genuinely finding it frustrating that he can fall behind like that #and just cannot take shit like that. so he tries to pull back and not seem as affected as he is #theyre a very cuddly family but mind you they can be actually mean to each other like that!!

the fact that at "never once has he cheated on his wife" literally everyone turned to Zeus' actor & his reaction to it is sending me

#epic the ithaca saga #epic the musical #i was just gonna watch a small piece from the livestream and now i've been stuck there for hours #the actors acting out every bit is BECAUTIFUL TALANTED UNPARALLELED #I AM LIVING FOR IT #i'm done that man is everything #he was my favorite in the livestream #he played zeus and he was gonna make EVERYONE see how well he can play zeus #also he's gonna play for the actors who couldn't be there #and ALSO he's ready to push the actors who WERE there out of the way and sing their part for them as well #which is a very zeus move if you think of it

Angela Orosco Silent Hill 2

#in anticipation of the incoming remake #i tried my best to imitate the SH font but #silent hill #silent hill 2 #angela #angela orosco #theme of laura (reprise)#i've said it before but in spite of its occasionally clunky diction i think silent hill 2 is an unusually emotionally intelligent game #for any year and still today but especially so for where gaming storytelling was in 2001 #and for as many pitfalls a story like hers could've dipped into i think it particularly shines through with how they treated angela #not just choosing to depict victimhood as something that can be ugly and fractious and open quote “difficult” but then this #actively rebuffing james for trying to be a white knight and dressing him down for it too #“i know you mean well and want to help but this isn't a simple problem"#“and it's really hurtful and a bit insulting that you act like you can”#the switching to a first person view turning it into an address to the player as well #maybe even old videogame tropes too #“this isn't some princess in a castle kind of situation dude this is more serious than that”#it felt like a very deliberate statement about the depth and severity of a trauma like this #and in doing so showing it so much respect #there is no quick easy solution to this and you won't get one #then angela just leaves #and you never see her again #i really don't think it was to imply that it consumed her i think it was to underline what was just said #this isn't your problem to fix #this is where your part in this story ends #there's some strength in that

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post
