they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

#fantasy high #figueroth faeth #kristen applebees #adaine abernant #gorgug thistlespring #fabian seacaster #riz gukgak #yes this is sorta from the same thing Ive been doing for future!riz lol. that riz is the same design basically #just the above board sona #u can kiiinda tell which of the bad kids I have a very clear vision for their future design and which I kinda wing it for lol #kristen's tank top is white and the coat is galaxy tie dye btw. I didnt have the energy to express that in ink but thats the ult version #adaine I truly imagine to grow up to be the perpetual t shirt and jeans person but she carries her sword everywhere #gorgugs truth is that shes just hot she can wear anything. but I do give him the skirt hike bc I love him #I really like skirt hike... such a fun thing to put in designs. if ur garment has no variance in how it falls or drapes u can do it urself #this is also a little bit of an exercise in how much of an accessory I can freehand from memory #fig's bass I straight up did not fact check for. just rawdogging it memory only. same with fandrangor and adaine's crocs #I did write in my funny little document that gorgug takes up baking and is good at it bc I think itd be good for him #to do basically chemistry and math that also feeds people #out of them... kristen and riz would be Good good at it. but riz would get way too stressed abt the recipe and kristen bakes by #eyeballing the texture. fabian likes decorating but refuses to get anywhere near the heat of an oven. adaine isnt good at it first try #and is like well my effort goes to other things actually. fig Loves baking and Nobody lets her into the kitchen #idk why this manifests so clear in my head. must be bc of recent foccacia events #living in the subtropics is hell for baking nobody try it ok? I tell u

It's my right to tell myself I can do just a little animation just for fun just for really quick to do some action and then spend 3 days straight on it

#animation #we were legion #2d animation #sketch animation #sketch #zagan #I jut really like drawing action okay...#Time and time again is too nice of a comic ykwim its like all about grief and forgiveness and self love #so the whole point is that there's other ways and we will always try for something better #and we will grow together #BUT NOT THIS COMIC!!!<t #this comic is about a demon who is a complete asshole and resorts to violence over literally everything!#he like gets better #but there's still action the whole time...#cause its not about anything serious its about like hey maybe theres OTHER things you can do that are cool #and that violence immediately isn't the best way to go...#but like sometimes violence is allowed #and so even in the end once he's better as a person #there can still be fights #YAYYYYYY #I love action AHHAHAHAHA #its so much fun to draw #ughhh #such a fuckin wonderful way to explore my love of anatomy and dynamic poses #like YES yes yes yes yes yes yes #let me draw a guy at like 100 different angles and they all have to match up believably #PLEASE GOD ITS SOO GOOD I LOVE IT #also I keep watching the animation. I like how it came out a lot...#ok bye.

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

vent(??)

coz as a child who got early access to internet i noticed that it twisted my world view so much that i can no longer speak whats on my mind, and ppl cant relate to me or "match my freak" unless theyve consumed the same amount of internet it also affects my relationships, ahain making me unable to speak and expecting the other party to understand, and resulting to me and the pther party getting hurt from misunderstanding. it also results me in repeating again and again. it also made me delusional but here we are ig

#delete later #yya #there are a lotta things i wanna put here but huh this IS internet #yyeaaa #anyway t #i think that fucked me up #likr what the fuck is having unsupervised internet access when ur 10 yrs old #sun story #like im fr why did i end up in a place w ppl who gave up on their lives and are in their twenties #im a chilf i need to be growing up i cant “let my life go with the flow”#i need to get the hold of it #i cant normalise being tired for myself #vent #ya this turned to a vent lmao

I am the happiest person on earth right now because I just went out with a friend to grab a late lunch and it was just supposed to be a quick casual catch up thing that turned into a 4 hour conversation in the car about things that happened to us almost a decade ago 🥲

#roadie rambles #no one’s obligated to read this but y’all…you better sit down if you’re interested bc I’m feeling SO chatty tonight #for context: this is my childhood friend I grew up with then we went to different high schools and colleges #but over the years we’ve kept in touch and we see each other maybe 2-3 times a year #we have really similar personalities #okay so basically. 👏 today we learned that we had the /exact same/ traumatic experience in high school /almost around the same time/#and not only that!!! the people who caused it were the same people who were in our childhood 4 person friend group!! (we split 2-2 in hs)#now before you get worried: I’m not about to traumadump and we’re both in better wiser healthier places now #but imagine that!!!#the same exact experiences down to a T. and neither of us shared it until now #we weren’t ready to at the time and we’re not exactly the most open with our feelings #plus. different schools different lives not seeing each other every day yada yada #but with the clarity of hindsight and both of us being adults now we were ready!!! 👏👏#we had a convo in the car that naturally led into us letting it all out #and shit man. it’s not the trauma olympics here but. I thought the aftermath of what I went through was bad #venting it out was awesome for both of us and we had a lot of good laughs over it #but my friend…she went through some awful stuff #really hard stuff.#it broke my heart honestly bc she’s an amazing person and she didn’t deserve any of it #I made sure she knew that. she made sure /I/ knew that.#we were both hurt and betrayed in the same ways. but we also learned from it in the same ways. and now it’s something we share #we both wished that we could’ve had this convo years earlier #but I know that it wouldn’t have happened in the same way bc we weren’t at our current levels of maturity back then #I believe we were meant to have this convo /today/ and now we’re both better for it #that’s on growing up and having someone to heal with babey!!!! 🥹💖💖💖#if you made it this far thank you!! I appreciate it #I’m just…gonna lay here with my full heart and think about this forever now

even though i really love what hrt is doing to me it has made me so self conscious because i know my body is changing more visibly now and i don't like the idea that people who know me very well will be able to see that. i just hate the idea of people looking at me. and i worry that the people i care about will like me less the more they look at me because i'm ugly

#some of my mum's family keep calling me fat now bc of the t weight gain as well which is irritating to me #1) i'm still clinically underweight according to the doctor 2) so fucking what if i was. why is it my problem that you're archaic #if you think being fat is bad that's like. fully your problem. that's on you. grow up and get a grip #and also i'm already hyper aware of the fact that my body has changed. i don't need you to keep drawing attention to it #it's frustrating because like. i WANT to gain weight. i feel way better abt how i look and i feel like i'm more attractive #but they keep making me feel guilty for it and like everyone is silently noticing and judging me for it #it's like. the whole time you've known me i've been miserable and consistently trying to off myself #i also spent my ENTIRE childhood and teen years taking care of my siblings + grandmother bc you guys couldn't be arsed #and now i'm finally doing something for myself that is making me way happier and you can't let me have that #i still have to see them regularly because they're living with my grandmother who i am obligated to visit #partly because she's ill and partly because i'm the one who does all her chores that she can't do anymore #because you guessed it. the family members living with her just sit around doing fuck all so i have to do it all instead #and last weekend i spent five hours raking leaves + moving bricks so when i came back in i was starving #and AS SOON as i started eating my (fake)auntie was like. girl you eat too much.#BROTHER ?????????? suck my fat cock ??? leave me alone ?????????#being so Out in the real world vs being so insanely Closeted in front of my family is so ew #it reminds me of being a closeted teenager living at home feeling like i was constantly harbouring this embarrassing evil secret #when really i'm just putting gel on my arm every day and eating five packets of ramen in one sitting #when i'm in queer spaces / on my own / having sex i feel so good abt myself i don't have an ounce of dysphoria #and then i go home and it's like oh. i'm actually the most disgusting evil creature on this planet and i deserve death #whatever. trans people and lesbians think i'm hot and i got mad head game so who gives a fuck

like sorry an anime from the early 2000's in Japan doesn't use the Righteous Good Words for queer people and identities but maybe there's more important things to queer rep than semantics and clean, unproblematic language lol

#aristotle.txt #so frustrating . the whole point of haruhis arc is that she could grow up well bc of her father #her crossdressing 'tr*nny' father who takes care of her and loves and provides her #the reason she grew up well was because she was raised in that unconventional way #and was taught to accept herself and others. it was that enviorment that let her be #sorry but a depiction of a gnc parent as a doting capable parent simply will not ever read as bad rep #t slur cw #t slur

#trying /really really hard/ not to let the overuse of terms such as 'secular' bug me here at school #but honestly I'm starting to get annoyed with it :')#ugh dear Lord I am trying SO HARD not to be argumentative and annoying and avoid my real problems in life by being snarky and unteachable #but it is HARD SOMETIMES LOL #bc I really want to argue #I really need the energy release it provides #even when I don't really care about the subject being argued about #college complaining #I think I'm using a different tag by accident every time lol #I'm trying so hard to grow up and put away childish things but I'm feeling so worn out. the problems aren't fixed.#and venting on tumblr isn't fixing it but I don't want to ask to schedule another appointment with my councilor bc I know it costs a lot #and I don't want to burden anyone here at school with my problems. that's self-seeking isn't it? and it's not fair to expect other people t #fix my problems.#I should turn to Christ alone since He should be enough for me. right?#I don't know and I hope I'm not being rude or blasphemous but I'm tired some of the depression/anxiety symptoms are showing up again #and I don't want to go back to shaking in fear and not being able to get out of bed for days in a row

I went clothes shopping today and it wasn't awful :) a full set of new clothes (from a shop, not hand-sewn) for the first time in 4 years! The luxury of a beanie which isn't deformed and about to unravel! A pleated-front shirt I could interview in! My shitty skin lighting up into olive in all the soft warm shades I tried on in the flattering light of the changing room!

#I got the same kind of stuff again bc I still dress like I did at 14 #which I mean. I've tried to change but flannels and stretchy leggings and cargo pants and t-shirts are in the Canadian part of me #no helping it rip #the difference this time was the almost complete lack of gender dysphoria #I tried dresses on and girly frilly tops and lace and netting and it was fun! I didn't want to throw up!#props to the fashion influencers I follow bc they wear it all regardless of gender and it's really helped me to let go myself #and just to like experiment without feeling like ugh I am performing in the role of A Woman right now #that I ended back up in my flannels and cargo pants is okay too #someday I'll grow past them or maybe I won't. it's nice to own new clothes again - I'll wear these ones out too!#thought

thinkin about dragon age for the first time in like ages but smth that always struck me as odd is how often cole is mischaracterized and misrepresented. like i can tell when someone hasnt read asunder from how they depict cole. dudes half avvar like hes not a tiny little boy. thin yeah but have you SEEN his LEGS?? and his SHOULDERS? this is a full grown half-avvar man. the avvar are fuckin massive like theyre chasin up the qunari regularly in terms of height. spreading my tall cole agenda

#my t #daveposting #continuing my cole is a full grown adult w/ full grown adult thoughts and wants agenda too #im gonna give him so many boyfriends #just as he deserves tbh #anyway my personal hc for cole body specs is that hes perpetually malnourished but sinewy and shockingly strong #hovering somewhere btwn 6'-6'4''#the juxtaposition of his frame vs Who He Is vs What He Does should be eerie and weird #plus thinking abt the human cole feeling scared of growing 'too big'#catching too much attention #he wants to be small but his avvar genes doesnt let him so he slouched and was quiet and kept to himself #and then he starved to death in the white spire cell #so when the spirit found him and became him the spirit imitated how quiet he made himself to be #and in-game-cole only is able to really change his body re gaining weight/muscle after becoming fully human #we like there being a considerable gap in og human cole's life where he wanders as an apostate for a few years so he grows like a gd weed #i have a lot of feelings about cole dragon age

in cult of the lamb i remember when my favorite follower (white ish beige deer) proposed and it was so cute ((I even drew art of them together THEY MAKE ME ILL)) but then they died of old age a while later.. NOW ANOTHER DEER (((WHO HAS CONSISTENTLY TRIED TO PROVE HIS LOYALTY BY WANTING TO BE BOTH A DISCIPLE AND LOYALTY ENFORCER AND WANTING TO BE PUT IN JAIL))) WANTS TO MARRY ME AND ITS GIVING ME FLASHBACKS 😭🤲

#don't tell anyone but I do have a lambsona /silly #her name is Zephyr and the deer that originally was her spouse was named Magre #OUGHH I LOVE THEM SM <333 #I tried speedrunning the game to get the golden skull necklace to make them immortal but #alas #I was not quick enough T-T #the best I could do was stretch their lifespan out #ARUGHH AND I DON'T HAVE THE REVIVAL DOCTRINE THING o(-(#anyhow #the follower that has repeatedly been devoted and loyal is a brown-grey deer with the darker marking on the forehead #his name is anmer and I feel bad for him bc I imagine it's one sided </3 #he was born in the cult so it's a lil weird but #imagine you were born in this wonderful group of people- always accepting and kind and against most things bad #and the leader of this group was a lamb; powerful and guiding and never aggressive #you grow up cared for by them and nurtured by them; your life practically revolves around them #but they're somber a lot of the time. they're quiet and kind but they don't talk much. you never learn why #most of the graves in the graveyard are unmarked and you don't spend a whole lot of time there anyway #but as you grow older you see they're hurting #you don't understand why. nobody does except for them #you want to make them feel better even if you don't know how #so you go up to them one day and tell them “hey. I wanna be your right hand man. I wanna be your disciple”#and they let you with little resistance- if anything they seem happy !#but they're not happy for very long. you don't understand your presence hurts them more #because whenever they look at you they see somebody from the past. a dead lover #IM ILL. THEY MAKE ME SO ILL #cotl #cult of the lamb #cult of the lamb oc #cult of the lamb sona #Worm Thoughts

i think a thing im v passionate abt is music. or rather, listening to music. i listen to it when i work, when i drive, when i clean, when i walk. i spend several hours every day listening to music. once during a trip i didn't have the time to listen to music for several days and when i finally turned on some music it felt like the world was suddenly filled w more color and life. i once was so overwhelmed w awe and beauty listening to a song for the first time that it caused me to have a panic attack. in, like, a good way, like, wow, look at that song, it touched me so deeply that i lost control of my body for a moment. i sometimes get teary eyes or goosebumps when listening to music. i listen to the same song for hours on repeat. i don't know anything abt making music btw. i took guitar lessons for some time but im not talented or good at it and it took too much effort to continue. i love the sounds a guitar makes though. i also don't remember any music theory. i have a friend who's naturally talented at playing the guitar but they didn't enjoy it but even after years of not having picked up a guitar they can still play songs at birthday parties. i think it's funny that they are naturally good at it but they hate doing it and i love it but im not good at it at all.
