don't think I'm not still obsessing over 7-12

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers #sorry it's even scribblier than usual :') hopefully my chickenscratch is legible #anyway come here and join me in the corner where we go to be embarrassing about anime characters #just. between riddle and trey's dreams i've been thinking a lot about how #trey knew this kid for like two months when he was nine and then never really got over him or how their friendship ended #which. honestly. understandable given the circumstances #and then when they finally met again riddle acted like they'd never met before and neither he nor trey ever intended trey to be his vice #but every time riddle talks about his childhood post-incident it's basically #'oh yeah i constantly thought about trey and che'nya and fantasized about still being friends with them! this is fine and normal'#(there's a bit in one of his birthday cards where he talks about crossword puzzles and shit man that one got me)#idk. i can't put this into words very well #just...the implications that riddle was actively resisting trey's friendship #(presumably because it ended SUPER badly last time and he's learned that if he shows he wants something it gets taken away from him)#and trey had to work REALLY hard to just to get to the point they were at by the time canon starts #that was progress somehow #y'all can call him boring all you want but trey's defining feature really is that he keeps being like #'everything's fine :) this isn't a big deal :) i don't care that much'#(trey on the inside: THIS IS THE BIGGEST DEAL THAT I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT AND I WILL NEVER LET IT GO)#anyway i continue to be absolutely murdered by the timing of riddlepunzel directly after this #riddle's line about not wanting to keep standing in front of a door that's never going to open...#hey. hey silly gacha game about anime disney boys.#you are not actually allowed to do this to me #oh shit oh damn i'm out of tags and i haven't even talked about cater yet.

many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !

#for me the thing i think about most wrt narnia is like. becoming a legend. the prophecy kids thing goes pretty basicstyle in the first book #but once u get to prince caspian ur dealing w these 4 people whove basically fufilled the prophecy but their lives arent over!!#both on earth and in narnia theyre figuring out what it means to live past the end of their own stories #& not just the conclusion theyve also lived past the happily ever after thehve had those entire lives as prophecized kings and queens n now #they just have to be people! it makes me a bit crazy #did you know wwii was an event that affected many people and showed up in lots of literature at the time in small ways.#cleb talky #narnia

#my art #zosan #one piece tag #top + bottom left were reffed off a pose catalog book i have a complicated relationship with #every time reach the point of 'ugh this was a bad purchase i haven't used it in ages' i end up finding some portion of some pose to use #i would like to get better at suggesting muscle though silhouette/mass rather than defining muscle w/ lines... muscles are nice and soft #i like it when you get definition only through subtle bits of dimpling : )

Anyway shout out to Dewey who constantly looked like he was having the worst time of his fucking life in the pitches

Just an 11 year old pissed off at the world it seems😭

#insane he ended up being so happy go lucky in canon #like in the art book they talk about the character shift dewey had once ben auditioned #and he made them realize they could take a more comedic approach with him #but initially dewey’s character seemed very negative and irritable #they had the label ‘the bad boy’ of the 3 on him for a bit too #bc of the massive chip on his shoulder and how unsatisfied he was at the time #and tbh you can see bits of that in the pilot #dewey’s character and overall demeanor is very different in the first two eps of s1 #i LOVE my boy as the bright impulsive ball of sunshine and danger that he is #but this original pitch of him intrigues me a lot #like i can talk about pitch!dewey for hours bc #kinda feels like wasted potential idk LMAO #bc he didn’t entirely disappear at least in s1 so #just a lot of dewey thoughts #bc that’s my boy🫶#ducktales #ducktales 2017 #dewey duck

I’m editing now, and it is a little sad going back to the start of a book, because 🥺 they don’t know what’s going to happen 🥺 they don’t know how their relationships will change 🥺 they’re making promises they’re never going to keep

#Fool of a Ghoul started as a comedy and ended as a bit of a tragedy #book

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

#svsss #scum villian self saving system #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #the fact that people think scum villain #-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me #especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater #heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series #he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters #(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters #like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx #I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes #side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me #i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation #but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years #like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain #the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too #+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu #as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people #another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does #also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be #he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students #and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing #+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this #but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

everything is the same except Odile is the one looping

oh. heheheheh. muahahahaha. hold on *digs through my pile of disorganized sketches*

Odile loops au; a sketch compilation!!

Some old fic drabbles + associated sketches under cut (a6 secret spoilers):

hc: Since equipment carries over, as long as Odile uses her book in a fight, she can write down notes and have it carry over loops

toxic doomed yuri (for a more fleshed out fic I highly recommend The Sweetest Thing by soreimoon, it's amazing)

#isat #odile loops au #in stars and time #isat spoilers #isat odile #odile timeloop au #congrats on unleashing the hell gates of odile looping au!!! I've thought about it a bunch!!!!!#contexts:#candy is a reference to sasasap i think. not sure if odile likes candy though #i think it'd be funny if odile struggled with understanding how shields work for a bit. she spends several loops asking mirabelle for help #I think odile would actually spend more time in the loops once she's sure she can just loop again. They're not actually in a rush after all #and she might as well maximize her loops #under cut:#she leaves all of her excess books with loop. Loop has another thing to do while waiting #yes loop is still you know who in this one #toxic doomed yuri is just very self indulgent teehee thanks discord folks #not depicted: I also think that the more loops she does the more she views them as experiments #with variables to control and test #that's where she starts falling off the deep end and start testing stuff like. not warning siffrin about the rock #(instantly regrets it though. loops back the first time she tries)#day 26 today?#A big one! Have funnn #you can tell some of these are really old by the different colored background lmfao #isat au

HOWARD STERN: Here's what the book claimed- your sexuality was so powerful over him, he was so enamored of you, so attracted to you, almost- PAUL: Wow. STERN: -that you could have your way with him. Not sexually- ROBIN QUIVERS: Did you feel a power over him? PAUL: [rapidly shaking his head] No. STERN: -but in business. That you had a- that he was sort of at your mercy because he was so in love with you. That was the theory in the book. PAUL: Well, you know, I mean- I like that theory. [laughs] STERN: Wish that could've been true. PAUL: No, man.

(x- translation from portuguese by @todayesterday here) (x) (x)

#mclennon #that howard stern one mannnnn.... his body language in that segment is crazy #bc like stern starts talking abt the book and paul interrupts him to deny the john gay rumors but then gets hit w that one instead #which he obviously wasnt prepared for and obviously makes him uncomfortable for im sure like 20 different reasons... :(#also finding that interview and which one it was was a nightmare but in the end i did prevail #anyway just thinking about the theme of paul going 'yeah no didnt happen/he wasnt in love with me/etc but i wish!' like okay #also in the stern one a bit that doesnt rlly get included that comes after that thats interesting is where quivers is like #you know maybe if you had died and he'd lived they'd be saying he had that power over you and he's like 'i think that's true'

Ponyboy out here like “I don’t know why I keep ending up with these rough, emotionally constipated guys who manhandle me” and meanwhile the universe is just pointing directly at Darry like “Gee, I wonder,"

#there's this bit in the book where Ponyboy mentions that Darry's always too rough with him #and my brain has snagged on it #ponyboy curtis #the outsiders #the outsiders 1983 #darry curtis #curly shepard #purly #lotta people end up with their parents without meaning to lmao

I loved your drawing(and I love your style in general) with Leia in your recent post! If/when you have time can we see more of her in your style? I get so happy whenever I actually see people mention/talk about her and she’s not just forgotten because we didn’t get to see much of her. 😭

thank you! 💙💙💙 Leia/Leah/Lea/whatever is fascinating to me. she is the ultimate unknown. what was she like? how involved (or even aware of any details of the invasion) was she? Silver's basically a physical carbon copy of his biodad, so what did he get from her? like, I understand why the two of them kind of have to stay as these super vague and mysterious figures -- the whole point of them is that their story ended 400+ years ago and they're not really relevant anymore (and. well. the more that gets explained about them, the less that can just kinda be handwaved as "oh the politics were Very Messy") (we can sit here and theorize all day but let us acknowledge that, ultimately, canon gave us almost nothing about them post-Meleanor and we'd just be making things up). I do still wonder about her though! RIP Lea, we never knew you and we probably never will.

actually you know what, as long as we're here, I think I WILL go ahead and just make some stuff up about what Silver might've inherited from her instead.

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 13 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 13 spoilers #there may be answers somewhere that i just forgot about so uhhh if so #whoops ( ᐛ )#having one of those art days where chances are good i'm just gonna wake up and throw this post out the window so be warned #but yeah idk. i've talked before about the parallels between silver and dawnatello and how i see him as basically bad end silver #he chose the easy option that let him stay loyal and fulfill the obligation he felt to his adoptive family #he knew it wasn't right and that he was being manipulated but he went along with it anyway until it was too late #i think he ultimately had a good heart but my man folded under the slightest bit of social pressure like a wet mcmuffin #so while i'm continuing to make things up out of whole cloth i wanna say that by contrast #lea never had a chance to do shit but if she had i like to think she would've had a spine like galvanized steel #like just personally i don't think she knew much about what the silver owls were actually doing #seriously does henrik seem like the kind of person who would tell her shit about anything #i think he basically took advantage of their dad's failing health to go off and be a warmonger #and if he thought about lea at all it was to be like :) you stay here and do boring domestic princess stuff #while i tell your husband to Do It For Her #i mean this is 100% me writing baseless fanfic here #i just think it'd be fun if the part of silver that was IMMEDIATELY like 'actually no. we aren't doing this.' might've come from her #she just never got a chance to show it #(it didn't seem to come from the knight is all i'm saying)#lilia might've given silver a billion complexes but at least he raised him to do the right thing #man someone left a reply or reblog on an older post and i cannot find it so i apologize for the lack of credit BUT they pointed out #that one of the big differences between silver and the knight is that the knight's family did not really seem to like him very much and lik #yeah i think so. lea might've been the exception there for him.#rip ma'am we'll never know if you deserved better or not

i love my Basketbot Portal AU

#Basketball is Chell and Robot Flower is Glados #i think GB would be Cave Johnson and TB is prob just her assistant.. and Puffball would be the Turrets (because she sings so beautifully)!!#maybe Flower is Caroline?#The plot would change a bit too... this AU is more like a role insertion and not a complete perfect run of Portal/Portal 2 #Basketball would still be trapped by RF to do tests and she would try to get closer to Robot Flower and try to fix her #Basketball is really smart... i think she would admire Robot Flower's innovation and creativity even if shes Evil... they looove each other #they would totally fall in love and date in the end trust #in the end i think Basketball would try to code the personality spheres off of her #maybe each personality sphere could be a character... like Intelligence Core = Pin (cake) or Book (smart and knowledgeable)#Space Core = 8 Ball (in the sense that they both have a fixation on one thing... Space and 8 yknow?)#Morality Core = Teardrop..... or actually maybe Pie? shes apathetic and i think it would be cool #Curiosity Core = Liy or Pillow... in a sense? before her huge killing spree thing i think Pillow was the very curious and experimental type #im not completely sure for Wheatley... ill think on it #omg if you read all this thank you sm ive been thinking of this for literal months #btw please tag me if you make art #bfdi #portal #basketbot #basketball x robot flower #basketbot portal au #key rambling

I think the most beautiful thing about writing of Howl and Sophie's pair is that they are written as people before being written as a pair. Let me explain this very quick.

The thing about book Sophie and Howl is that they are not really fully fitting into any "classic" romantic trope. They are not exactly enemies to lovers, as their angry chats are definitely cannot be considered a life or death battle, they are not rivals to lovers because the only aspect of rivalry between them is the cleaningness of Howl's room. They are not friends to lovers, as their relationship just doesn't fit into "friendship" structure at the very start, nor they are roomates (yes, they live in the same house but that's not the core aspect of their relationships). Of course, you can go on and fit the name of the trope you found specifically for them, but that's the thing.

They simply cannot be processed through a pairings lenses only, in order to understand how they act in relationship you need to analyse them separately, as a characters first of all. Cause that's what the book itself does!

Sure, it doesn't have a whole lot of romance instead, but it gives us time to learn and observe the life of incredibly written, alive characters, understand them as personalities first of all, while slowly immersing the dynamic between two characters (in this case, Howl and Sophie) into work. They are written as personalities, both being fully separated and interviewing, changing eachother's point of view.

It's difficult to find a trope for them. They're are not a trope. They are Howl and Sophie, and that's probably the only way their dynamic can be properly described. Just as real people, they are not really fitting into the boxes of linial character progression, but go way deeper into being complex, filled with little differences and moments only people with their personality can have in romantic (or any different) kind of interaction. They're imperfect, and silly, and multidimensional and the reader knows them well enough to imagine them interacting way beyond of what the book says to them.

They are being people before being a ship, a pair of a trope — and that's why they work so perfectly charming in the end.

Howl and Sophie are unique in being themselves.
