Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.

Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.

#mlp #celestia #fanart #my art #wip #the grand galloping 20s #delete later #look at me fucking smart guy signed up for 4 art classes in one quarter #so now i have 4 concurrent art/film/creative writing projects going on at the same fucking time #taking bets on how fast i burn out #anyways the idea behind the faces is the front face is the surface. it displays whatever emotions celestia intends when she's in control.#the two side faces––sadness and anger––are sides of her she has less control over. i drew all 3 faces active for the exploration #but in reality only 1 is active at a time. the others will either close their eyes or go catatonic like a puppet or doll #the final face on the back of the head is the deep subconscious. every ugly and violent and hateful thought and emotion #that lies buried under the surface. celestia has no control over that side of her. if she ever wakes

one of the things that continues to strike me on reread is how much the character of Darcy, and Austen through him, finds Mr. Bennet dead. And how much Elizabeth, in growing and changing and discarding her past blindness, has to move past her way of seeing her father and thus of seeing reality, because the two are connected! Darcy’s letter exposes her father’s flaws to Elizabeth in a way she’d never been able to see before. Most especially the way his laziness and neglect of his own gifts have hurt his family and that ultimately he doesn’t. care. Not enough to change. It literally says that she comes home from Hunsford and tries to laugh at her sisters’ and mother’s folly (the way she used to; the way her father has taught her to by example for her whole life) and she can’t anymore! It sticks in her throat. She is grieved by the failures that she sees in him, all the more so because she IS his favorite and she loves him! And the thing about Mr. Bennet is he never changes. The Lydia/wickham situation exposes to him sharply his own conduct and the consequences and he feels it! Because he is neither stupid nor unfeeling. But he, like everyone, has free will. And he chooses not to change when the opportunity presents itself. He even jokes about how quickly his feeling bad will pass and how soon everything will go back to normal, to his laziness and his selfishness. He is set in his ways and he serves as a contrast to Elizabeth’s personal journey because he embodies a version of a person she could have become and was in danger of becoming if her only goal at all times was to laugh at and judge people from the sidelines.

#pride and prejudice #I’ve always loved his character because he IS funny and he is iconic!!! and his love for Lizzy is touching!#he’s not faking it.#but he is so flawed. a man of taste a man of ability a man of judgment.#a man who could and SHOULD have set a different tone for his children and chose not to!#and they SUFFER FOR IT #their house is a divided one. and every child feels the pain of living in a house where the parents neither respect each other #nor are on the same team #there is a crack running through their house for this reason and it’s how Lydia (and Kitty) came to be so neglected!#who is going to discipline them or guide them? certainly not Mr. Bennet!#he’s so important to teach too. because the boys LOVE HIM. of course!#and are always very struck by his failures and laziness once I point it out #and yeah Darcy one of the only people who can expose him. because Darcy is putting in the work a man should be doing #Darcy’s house IS in order. his love is active and protective. he is fulfilling his role!#Mr. Bennet’s gifts are so extraordinary—the wit. the insight into human nature. honestly the capacity for wisdom #but he likes his library. he likes enjoying himself more than he likes doing his duty #as either a father or a husband #he does fail Mrs. Bennet! I have compassion for her there #anyway I love to think about this: something no version I have ever seen has ever fully explored #but man is it on the page #yeah yeah sorry for all the words. teacher off duty etc.

Destiel Pride - Day 16; Baby steps

#destiel pride #destiel #dean winchester #castiel #destiel art #destiel fanart #spnfanart #spn art #wiggleart #I like the idea that when they try doing more Activities TM they get overwhelmed at first #it’s a lot to go from pining for a decade and having to restrain yourself to all of #a sudden having the ability to explore whatever you want in this relationship #so I like the concept that it takes them several tries to kinda get all the way there lol #also I made the dialogue so you couldn’t really tell who was saying what because I think it’d be overwhelming for both

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Rage Form

#kingdom hearts 3 #kh3 #sora #rage form #arendelle #formchange #my gif #rage form is so intriguing #sora still behaves in a wild animalistic fashion similar to his anti form but it's different #anti form felt as if he relinquished all self control and acted strictly on instinct just like a heartless #he used to run around hunched over on all fours and fight tooth and claw with reckless abandon #but here you can at least see SOME semblance of who he is. he's able to wield his keyblade while in this form which is pretty major #he still fights in an absolutely chaotic and primal manner but it feels evolved #the big difference is you call upon rage form at will. he channels his rage and darkness in a desperate last resort to stay alive #which is very significant but he still loses some control like the ability to use of magic; items; shotlocks; etc #it's cool to see darkness used in this way but i really want sora to able to explore themes of darkness within himself in future games #i want these to be more than cool forms with fun gameplay. i want them to have implications that something dark is brewing and needs to be-#brought to the surface and tackled head on because we've never seen anyone capable of cloaking themselves in darkness in such a way #take riku's dark form for example. he's in control and he's very much still himself. it's entirely different #on another note i'm now thinking about how hp is fully restored when activating rage form but you have the choice to give it up again-#when using risk charge. it'll increase attack damage but you're still walking a dangerous line in the pursuit of power

All I can think about recently is that there are three main career options for Grishaverse main characters:

A) Child soldier

B) Criminal

C) ✨Both✨

#and none of them are a choice #it’s very dependent on who your government is #shoutout to Nina and Matthias for really exploring all options available to them #my poor babies #inspired by convo with my sister where she said why is everyone a child soldier and I said some of them are criminals too(!)#as a side note it’s very unclear whether Grisha in Ravka get paid to be in the second army #I’m pretty sure they don’t #like at least if you’re a criminal you can make some cash #not that I’m endorsing criminal activity obvs #but at least there’s marginally more choice as a criminal #it would appear at least marginally more autonomy #crooked kingdom #shadow and bone #the grishaverse #six of crows #grishaverse #leigh bardugo #grisha trilogy #seige and storm #ruin and rising #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #nina zenik #Matthias helvar #alina starkov #mal oretsev #genya safin #zoya nazyelensky

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

#hey little star whatcha gonna queue?#and before I get any angry anons saying I’m making the argument that both sides are the same #I am not. and nowhere did I say that #and if your immediate reaction to any amount of criticism of leftist spaces or communication #is knee jerk outrage and defensiveness #this is an invitation to explore why that is for you.#this isn’t about anyone on here this is from conversations I’ve had with a few people IRL who have shared leftist misinformation a lot #so if you’re feeling attacked by this post and I haven’t directly spoken to you multiple times about misinformation with you responding bac #this isn’t. a vague post. about you. okay?#I cannot reiterate enough THIS IS AFTER IRL INTERACTIONS NOT A CAL OUT VAGUEPOST #and as one final note. IF YOU FOLLOW PEOPLE. WHO CONSTANTLY USE. THE MOST INFLAMMATORY WORDING CHOICES POSSIBLE.#YOU SHOULD NOT FOLLOW THOSE PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT.#no one communicating in true good faith to ALL PEOPLE about facts uses loaded language more than occasionally #the sooner you learn that the better. and that really starts narrowing down the pool of who you want to actually listen to (while still #verifying anything they tell you)#get higher standards!!!! and read some books or watch lectures about actual effective communication to broad groups without using tribalism #and also. anyone on the left trying to convince you of massive efforts and conspiracies that are anti everything #is also wrong 99% of the time and not a good source to listen to #never EVER assume conspiracy when it can be more simply explained through either #ignorance obliviousness incompetence financial greed or misunderstandings #the end. I’m really done this time. I’m just sick of seeing so many people fall prey to this #shh katie #cult escapee #politics and current events #don’t get swept up in the constant tsunami of performative online activism #election 2024 #world events

Silly little comic, close-ups of panels below the cut

#fun little speculative evolution/biology stuff #I imagine half-foots being highly social and more active at dusk and night compared to other humans #many half-foot communities live low to the ground in tropical-temperate forested areas #some communities closer to dwarven towns choosing to burrow instead of remaining only above ground #burrowing half-foots tending to have shorter heights and tails compared to their above ground counterparts #they’d also more align to dwarven beauty standards compared to elven and tallmen (to an even higher degree)#chilchuck #marcille donato #chilchuck tims #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #fanart #myart #comic #I don’t think chilchuck would be strictly a burrowing half-foot but he’d have a lot of the traits of them that helps him explore dungeons

I think one of the most interesting ways to write Steve’s parents (or his mom, at least) is as a deeply flawed person with good intentions.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a fic where they’re just bad people. Sometimes that’s all you need for a good story and this is not a criticism of anybody’s interpretation.

My personal preference in writing his parents is as people who are trying to be good parents.

Like, im currently messing around with this AU concept where Steve has a really complicated family dynamic. In it, he has bad parents. His mother made a choice to follow her husband because she thinks it’s the only way to preserve her marriage and thus preserve a good life for her son. It’s not malicious neglect but it is neglect. She’s trying to do the right thing but she’s making the wrong decisions. In the end, she’s still hurting her child.

A couple years ago I wrote this fic about Steve spiraling into a severe depression and his parents are trying to help him. They just don’t listen. They don’t understand what he’s dealing with and they make the wrong choices when trying to help him. Everybody that tries to help him makes the wrong choices, but with the best of intentions. Steve says repeatedly throughout the fic that it’s not his parents fault they don’t know how to be parents.

It’s really fun to write and it’s really cathartic if your relationship with your parents isn’t easy.

#I’m very lucky to have great parents but I don’t have parents who really understand me #so you know…✨inspiration✨#I also have an unfinished companion piece to a fic where Steve is dying #and in the foc Steve talks about his dad going out of town while his son is actively dying #he mentions that his dad had watched both his parents die slow deaths and implies that his parents are killing his in their minds to #make it easier when he actually dies. which isn’t a good to do but it is an incredible hard situation to be in #people don’t make the right choices all the time and I think it’s an interesting place to explore in your writing #again this isn’t like a diss at people who write them as like evil #I do that too. there’s not a lot of depth to his parents in the tiktok saga #steve harrington
