listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.
#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know#im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie#or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them#snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow!#but then shes gone…. for a while……#and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book#that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss#the hunger games#coriolanus snow#tbosas#lucy gray baird#not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration#but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause#like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not.#snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time#he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets#and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets#he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved#but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall#he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

hello cookierun nation here are all of the cookie cosplays i humbly offer to ye that ive done so far. love those lil dudes
#my cosplay#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#crk#cosplay#cookie run cosplay#i'd kiss the character designer for cookierun square on the lips they do such a good job of understanding the fundamentals of design#i mean obviously im not doing 1:1 translations on any of these but they provide a spectacular base from the official work#the fact that cookierun is the only series ive done multiple costumes for in the past few years#hopefully shows how fond i am of their design style#although to be fair the other series that ive done 2 costumes for lately is genshin impact and not to be negative#but i cannot stand genshin impacts character design approach it literally keeps me up at night how much i hate it

Laios's three Boy Best Friends. And yes, they hate him.
#dungeon meshi#laios touden#toshiro nakamoto#chilchuck tims#kabru#BF in this context could be boyfriend or best friend. The line is so blurry.#Chilchuck less so but whatever is going on between Shuro and Laios & Kabru and Laios is giving strong:#“dude if you were a girl I'd date the hell out of you”. And from the genderswap extra's that sentiment is canon for BOTH.#This was made prior to the translation of the Laios & Kabru & Shuro restaurant date comic and honestly I am just feeling vindicated.#I don't even know what to call this dynamic other than a situationship. There is so much going on between all of them.#Even on a purely platonic reading - the miscommunication and male yearning for friendship hurt so bad.#When we got the Big Hug scene in the epilogue arc I was whooping and hollering! Pure catharsis moment!#I also don't like hugs very much so I really felt it went Shuro ('hates being touched') went in for the bear hug.#Do not get me started on the agony of 'always lying' Kabru telling the truth (I just wanted to be friends)#and 'always believes' Laios thinking it's another lie and brushing him off.#I am once again supporting dungeon meshi day by posting art. Please watch dungeon meshi.#obligatory edit because I’m tired: YES. Chilchuck cares for Laios and him admitting it was a huge part of his arc#YES he is more just fed up with him that actually hating him.#I needed a third guy to be canonically done with his ass for the THREE WEED SMOKING GIRLFRIENDS reference

I love you messy artstyle i love you visible brush strokes I love you textures and rough edges I love you imperfections I love you roughness and colour blobs I love you scratchy sketches and bold stylisation and dirt and imperfections I love you ugly and raw emotion!!!!! ❤️
#i talk sometimes#art talk#i made a tweet like this on twatter ages ago but i've been feeling this a lot lately#also this is the start of me writing more on this blog and not only using it as art because who cares!! i don't!!#I wanna translate raw emotion into colors and shapes. I wanna know where to ignore all details and where to go ham you feel me?#i used to dream about developing a style like for MtG where it looked like a masterful oil painting that oozes realism and details#and i've realised the last two years or so that I would actually hate that for me. I know I wouldn't enjoy doing it. For myself.#it's that pipeline from wanting to be the perfect realistic wotc artist to accepting that I will never be that#instead i wanna learn how to stylise better and get a good brush economy going yknow. I wanna be bolder.#i doubt i'll ever be as incredible as all these MtG artists no matter what anyone says. but it's ok!! i don't have to be!!!#i just luv art man!!

Opinion on the epilogue leaks???
:(
#dawg….#the whole ending since like shigaraki was fully possessed by afo after he talked about how shigaraki never had a choice in anything#I’ve been rationalizing and staying positive and focusing on the things I like#and I was alright with the ending even if it was kind of mid#but the extra chapter… idk.. I’ll wait to actually see the official translations#but I hate that it takes away the ambiguity that 430 gave…#and I hate that it just makes bakugou kind of look miserable at the end? like getting rejected and shit ??#idk that’s such a malancholic tone to end things on for his character#and honestly for izuku too and his relationship with katsuki I don’t even care about the ship atp#I just think that’s such a weird tone for their relationship even if uraraka and deku hit it off or whatever#like katsuki should still be important to him? why does he look like hes yearning as deku walks away wtffff#anyways… I don’t think the extra chapters should have been plot heavy the story was wrapped up#some little sidequests and deku testing out the tech suit and maybe ua shenanigans were what I was hoping for#and now I’m bummed out a bit lol#and I hate that I am because I really do want to like the story and enjoy the end because I love the series a lot#but I can’t help but feel disappointed and I’ve Been feeling disappointed#ask#mha manga spoilers

Designer's Note: When we were designing Ganondorf, our most important goal was to inspire anyone playing the game with an innate impression that "he must be defeated."
Ganondorf’s smile in the moment he takes Sonia's Secret Stone is meant to fill the player with a sense of despair at confronting someone who can't be reasoned with. This scene emphasizes that the ultimate goal of the game is to "Destroy Ganondorf."
While it’s necessary for Ganondorf to have the dignified appearance of a desert king, we put great care and attention into small details to convey the impression that he’s a sly and cunning person who won’t hesitate to employ underhanded means in service to his goals. The most difficult aspect of his design was his eyes. Even the most subtle of adjustments would weaken Ganondorf’s impression as a sharp and powerful character, and we made countless revisions.
Because we wanted to draw Ganondorf as a skilled but solitary warrior who stands alone in battle, we adopted the samurai-style outfit of a loose kimono worn open at the chest without formal hakama trousers. We also referenced various pieces of Buddhist art transmitted to Japan along the Silk Road in order to mix aesthetic influences from desert tribes into his Japanese clothing.
This design gave us a lot of trouble, but we’ll be satisfied if the player has a sense of this Ganondorf being his own unique character distinct from previous appearances in the series.
#Legend of Zelda#Tears of the Kingdom#TotK Master Works#Ganondorf#character design#my translation#I'm sorry but you will never make me hate him#this note is filled with purple prose btw#someone obviously has a giant crush on Ganondorf#did you draw his eyes countless times#I bet you did

And this concludes the grand crossover event
(or does it?)
(it does but I was given a great idea for how to solve Gwen's problem :) )
the timeline of previous relevant comics:
[Jeff has a great fashion sense and Peter is the best hooker]
[Jeff is found and fucks are lost]
[bro landed up in the wrong universe and all he got out of it is a lousy bow]
#petvengers#spiderverse#Deadpool#Gwenpool#spiderman 99#wade wilson#gwen poole#miguel o'hara#jeff the land shark#i have a very simple sense of humor#and cute little floofballs swearing a lot is part of it#also i still remeber the ooooold long list of polish swearwords vs english that were mostly translated to just fuck fuck fuck this fuck tha#and still find it amusing#but maybe fuck doesnt make an impression on me since im not an native speaker#but anyway yes i still think the shock instead of fuck is bad#i know why they did it in comics and its actually smart#buuuuut#but in current world context it gets waaaay to close to tiktokification of language#and i fucking hate it#sure it makes sense miguel lives in ubercorporated distopia we are clearly going towards#but just fucking no#fuck fuck fuck#one fuck at a time#swearing

I mean, listen.
This death wouldn't hurt so much if it weren't for:
-Toga committing suicide -Toga committing suicide in an exceedingly preventable way -Toga committing suicide because she felt like she wasn't meant for this society and like she had no other options, which nobody disavowed, not even Uraraka directly -So many other characters with way worse odds surviving (like Bakugou, Nagant, Edgeshot?? Dabi???) -Seriously, why did she have to die? Let her be comatose, at least?? -Hawks being all like, 'Yeah, I shouldn't have killed Twice, the villains shouldn't have to die' -Hawks being nearby at the time, right? And of the same damn blood type? -Anyone willing to help nearby, actually -Didn't they put her on the helicopter? You're telling me that Dabi survived the stretcher ride, but not Toga? -It being. so preventable. not like Dabi's path toward destruction, or Shigaraki turning his body into a vessel for a greater evil. she was just a girl who was helping someone she'd hurt. and didn't need to give up all her blood to do it. -She didn't need to give up all her blood to do it. (Bakugou survived worse. Uraraka would've been fine.) -Her being seventeen -Her death feeling so meaningless, as the theming could have been accomplished by Shigaraki's death alone, except as a conduit for Izuku and Ochako to hold hands together. Which stings. My film professor would be completely unsurprised. -Bury Your Gays -Bury Your Unconventional Love Interests (thanks, film professor!) -the frustrating positive tone of some parts of the epilogue, with no real address of the character's failures and emotional struggles -Not even Uraraka gets to monologue about what this means for her future? Izuku's just slapping an emotional bandage on this? Really? -What even is Izuku's characterization right now? -Is Shoto really the only one who more or less Saved, in addition to Winning?

every time i interact with the silmarillion i get weirdly excited about the fact that the authorial intent is that it's a translation of historical accounts. it's a tertiary source! none of it is first hand. it makes it so much more interesting. was the legendarium a mannish tradition? what parts of these were written by pengolodh? by rumil? what loremaster has recorded this? would there be bias in the accounting? can i trust what i'm reading, from this viewpoint, this many years after it would have been written?
what has been mythologised, what has been sanitised, what is third-hand written on rumour? it's such an interesting thing to consider.
#i mean like. you can trust MOST of it#but authorial intent as a translation makes it interesting to approach it from a research pov#like are you going to trust this story in its totality when it was transcribed by someone who hated someone in the story#i guess depending on our definition the silm COULD be a secondary source#but thats nitpicky lol#tolkien#silmarillion#silm#i just unreliable narrators/retellings#the element of ambiguity#the way your interpretation can be shaped by how much you trust the author#i totally get why people are like “this is what it says in the silmarillion so there's nothing that supports different readings”#but also i think that is doing the format a disservice
