I will admit that Mystra’s design in BG3 is not…amazing. However, I LOVE the fact that it’s a bit uncanny valley. The idea that the gods just fundamentally are so removed from people that when they try to look like them, they inevitably fail because they can’t quite understand what or why tiny details are important to those little mortals, because they’re just so much bigger and they function in such a different way and on such a different scale is a *fascinating* one, especially with the game’s themes about the apathy and carelessness of gods towards humans, even “good” ones.

#bg3 #baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #maybe?? I guess that you meet mystra is a spoiler #Mystra #also this is why it’s so important that Mystra used to be Midnight!! And that Gale becoming a god is his bad ending!! (Also ties in with #astarion’s endings but he has very different goals so it doesnt entirely cohere. The stuff about certain amounts of power fundamentally #Fucking up your brain and ability to care about people does though)#Gale thinks if he becomes a god he could be better than the current ones and actually use the power to help people #And he does intend to!!!#But the thing is if he became a god he would be just as bad as the others because he would *stop being able to care in that way*#It’s not that the gods that were originally people that didnt care about other people #(Although of course a lot of them did…like the dead three)#It’s that once you become a god you become so much bigger than people that you lose your ability to care about them more than like.#Plants.#Which is a FASCINATING bit of worldbuilding that i will definitely have to steal for a project at some point because #OUGHHHH #d’s notes

MDZS x Brazil (1985)

(Yes. Real movie dialogue)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #MDZS AU #lan wangji #wei wuxian #Backstory to this is 'we recently watched Brazil (1985) and this scene make us lose our minds.'#Brazil (1985) is best described as 'The Monty Python Crew does an adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 (1949).' Because it is.#And let me just say. I think it is the perfect adaptation. Somehow this film manages to be one of the best dystopia satires out there #While also being a genuine critique of capitalism and burocracy.#Plus the practical effects and set design were outstanding.#The 'romance' in this movie was definitely also a satire.#It is unbelievably wacky. I'm dead serious when I say this comic is beat for beat something that happens in the film #Guy who told this women *nothing* about the peril she's in form the government tells her he (legally) killed her.#She responds by saying “Care for a little necrophilia?” with NO ROMANTIC LEAD UP.#THE MUSIC SWELLS. HE TEARS OFF HIS JACKET AND DIVES INTO THE BED. SCENE END.#Jill Leyton has incredible range as a hot butch and hot femme. Was the line bizarre? Yes. She can pull it off though.#We paused and watched it back a few times. I wasn't intending to make a crossover this obscure but honestly...#It's...it's too good of a fit to pass up. Wei Wuxian *would* say that...

sorry for bringing up stupid discourse in the middle of the night again. remembered the time someone tagged my homophrosyne post complaining that odysseus gets to sleep around while loudly proclaiming that he'll kill his wife if she cheats. which: absolutely did not happen! not in homer's odyssey!

as i alluded to in that post, there is an implied threat to penelope. but it's not implied in anything odysseus says about or to her! i would argue that it's most heavily implied in how the telemachia is framed by the house of atreus drama. orestes has recently avenged his father's death at the hands of his mother's lover; it stands to reason (so the story would go) that if penelope were to accept a suitor, they would pose a threat to odysseus, and telemachus would have to avenge him. that is the implied layout of the poem. which it then subverts time and again by none of that happening with odysseus, penelope, and telemachus.

and it's also implied by the gendered double standards around marital fidelity in a multi-thousand-year-old text, which are overarching, and not particularly shocking in that context. i find it completely disingenuous to make it an odysseus problem when there is so much going on in their marriage that's more interestinggg

#anna.txt #a tag for bitching #to return to that comment. we DO have examples of husbands (vocally!) wanting to murder their wives for infidelity #notably menelaus!! depending on what you're reading he may actively intend to kill helen after the war!!#but odysseus in the odyssey: does not ever verbalize something like that

Consciously #its more of just a physical response to the stress of everything #also i didnt intend for the shading to be so severe but it just ended up that way lol

Whenever I see people talk about how Dazai can't kill now that he's on the side that saves people I can't help but just... Dazai's resolution was to join the side that helps and saves people and make the world a more beautiful place. He didn't take on Oda's philosophy of not killing. He might have learned to respect others' lives more since joining a world that frowns upon murder, but like

He joined the Armed Detective Agency. His boss was ready to have another employee of his kill Dazai if Dazai had been a threat to others. Dazai made sure the culprit behind his first case as an ADA member, Sasaki, was killed because it was the only way to prevent even more deaths. He helped Chuuya punch a hole through Lovecraft's chest because his power was scary and unknown and then helped Chuuya blow him into dust.

AND ALSO

don't worry the Meursault guards are just having a little nap. Just resting their eyes. They're just so tired.

#your man does not care about killing other people he just stopped doing it if there's another solution #UPDATE: I DIDN'T KNOW SOMEONE HAD MADE A POST ABOUT DAZAI NOT KILLING ANYMORE RECENTLY #THIS WASN'T INTENDED AS VAGUEPOSTING #I WAS TALKING IN GENERAL I SEE THIS ALL THE TIME #MY TIMING IS JUST BAD #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd dazai #bsd dazai osamu #apparently i talk sometimes

Inspired by these comics by @zivazivc and this comic by @chongotheartist

This has been chilling in my mind since I first saw ZivaZivcs comic and I finally got the energy to make it XD

#my art #dreamworks trolls #trolls 3 #trolls band together #john dory #creek trolls #the orange troll is actually a deleted troll from the og movie known as Aspen Heitz #he has green hair in 3d and blue in 2d so i mixed the colors to get the hair i used here #any way #also i used chongos comic as like a reference for the posing and stuff #and like this is what it looks like in the comic but when put into trolls #it lind of looks like Aspen is like comforting his boyfriend creek #and i did not intend for that i just noticed it while coloring and i was like welp #and did not fix it #maybe im just overthinking it #it may just be the closeness due to troll proportions #also the holding hands on the shoulder #but it was in the og so its here too #also i love the scary jd render #whyd they make him so scary ill never know but man does it make for good comedy #i was orginally gonna draw jd too but then when i sketched him he just looked like the render and i was like you know what-#i also thought of using a fake png but that qas too much #so you get real png jd

Art prompt of Shen Qingqiu holding the aro flag (fits his color scheme)

the real reason this man doesn't realise he's tripping every romance flag in the story

#svsss #scum villain #shen qingqiu #sqq #aro #aromantic flag #i'm now just stuck on the idea of sqq trying to explain the nuance of pride flags to the Qing Jing Peak disciples #he Does Not Want to have this conversation #it started when he realised he was going to have to have The Talk with his disciples at SOME point and couldn't figure out a way #to finesse them into going to talk to mqf about it instead. it rapidly derailed as sqq got more muddled up in modern day terminology and #the Scholarly Peak Disciples would NOT fucking let it go #he would really rather die than continue this conversation; this man went through enough of his (2 lives) life without examining his own #sexuality he does NOT intend to start now!! please stop asking clarifying question!! you know what just don't have sex ever!!!#just!!!! don't date!!!!!! don't do that!!!! isn't it better for everyone to just not do that?????? conversation over!#my art #thanks for the suggestion!

MMMM twins au with danny and dan except its og TUE timeline danny and dan

ok okay i neeeeed o write this down and share it before i explode buT. as the title says. twins danny and dan (who im going to be calling James/Jamie bc i cannot express how much i despise the name dan) where, instead of disappearing into the ghost zone after he's separated from danny's body, Dan rips out Vlad's ghost half, tears THAT in half, and fuses one half with himself and the other with Danny.

Shit happens, and BOOM. Two morally ambiguous and perhaps slightly murderous demonic twins from hell. Daniel James Fenton and his Twin WHose Always Been Here What Are You Talking About :) James Daniel Fenton. They are both depressed, lonely, and one bad day from becoming a mass extinction event :)

this is because i got grabbed by the hair today and dragged into the SVSS fandom screaming and the fanart of Shen Jiu/Shen Yuan/Shen Quingqiu (????) with his fan entranced me. Ice Prince Core is my favorite thing so naturally i have to implant that onto my favorite blorbos ever :)

After the Incident, both their appearances changed and they're practically identical to each other. Sorta. They both have heterochromia and salt-and-pepper hair. But Danny has one green eye and one blue eye and white hair with black streaks, while Jamie has one blue eye and one green eye and black hair with white streaks. I'm iving them both long hair, for funsies <3

nobody can tell them apart, they keep getting confused on whose who and frankly the mix-match hair and eyes make it worse not better asjd. they're horrifically codependent. please do not separate :)

and because i must. im pulling a blood blossom/tales of the passerine and giving them to pre-robin batman. batman and his terrifying demon(??) twins. nobody is quite sure if they're human or not, and the scourge of gotham are a little too terrified to ask.

(they dont HAVE to go to batman while he's pre-robin. however. i think its much funnier that way bc gotham isn't use to A) Batman having kids, and B) Batman having TERRIFYING kids yet. think of all the new fun rumors)

they both use war fans while they're out, and neither of them use their ghost forms because they at least have the remaining empathy to know that they're more likely to murder someone accidentally as a ghost :). Ghost form is for fellow mythicals and Functionally Immortals Only! Not for Squishy Humans.

Jamie: murder. bloodshed. revengggee Bruce: no. no. Justice. peace!! hope! Danny: bittinngggg. blooood. ^-^

They're honestly not bad kids they're just horrifically traumatized two halves of a whole that can never be reunited ever again :).

idk what their vigilante names are but i do know that the underground refer to them in horrified whispers as 'the twins'. this all stemmed from the desperate and sudden urge to see Danny and Jamie, as their vigilante selves, hiding the lower half of their faces with fans and looking terrifyingly judgmental while they do it <333

#danny fenton is not the ghost king #dpxdc #dp x dc #danny fenton #dpxdc crossover #dp x dc crossover #dpxdc au #danny phantom #dan phantom #dp x dc au #dcxdp #dpxdc prompt #the twins au #look look it doesnt NEED to be DPxDC specifically i just WANT it to be. give bruce two twins who arent technically twins at all but the #shattered remains of a boy's soul who will never be whole again :). i need them to be like. 13 when bruce gets them but also when they're #older they're the picture of refined and lethal elegance. bc brrrrrrr. they have scarves bc scarves brrrr. they're like capes lite.#despite Jamie's demeanor comma it IS danny you need to watch out for dont be fooled Danny is not harmless nor declawed he's simply quiet :)#just do you- do you-- dont run away --dO YOU SEE THE VISION. I AM ON TH FLOOR FROTHING. DO YOU SEE THE VISION #they both have hollow looks in their eyes and that never really goes away even after they get older. but it does get better. bruce does hel #bring back some of that spark bc i refuse to slander that man in my house. im going to let my babygirl be a father like god intended #its par for course that of course bruce wayne's new kids look like supervillains in the making. just look at what happened to harvey dent #the gotham public is so certain that beloved bruce wayne has adopted demons. but nobody can prove anything other than the eery reflection #in the twins' eyes and their too sharp teeth. their pointed ears and soft voices that take up the room. antichrists the both of them #bruce wont take this slander and the twins?? honestly?? dont appreciate slander against bruce either. thats their New Dad actually #anywhoosies just a new fun au idea that includes og timeline danny :)) i dont think he'd be anything like his counterpart bc of the trauma #he and jamie get along surprisingly well (according to other danny's standards at least.)

WHY DID I RUN MY MOUTH LIKE AN IDIOT?! I WAS JUST FINE BEFORE!

-

(dialogue inspired by legends of avantris)

yeah so idk what i was thinking with this one i heard this dialogue while listening to a compilation and then i blacked out and this happened

pushes him towards you. jealous chilchuck. kill him.

(part 2)

#chilaios #<- INTENDED AND IMPLIED #this was also kinda expression practice for him #i think i did pretty well! struggled with the second one for a bit but i figured it out #anyways ummm i imagine chil does something stupid out of jealousy and starts going on and on about something to laios to persuade him out o #whatever thing he got himself into. and then when chil gets out of his jealousy stupor he panics and wonders “why the hell do *I* care?!”#and yknow. chaos ensues.#smiley face

mommy let you use her ipad, you were barely two

and it did all the things we designed it to do

now look at you, look at you!

(objectober 2024 day 10: internet)

#dandy's doodles #inanimate insanity #ii #ii steve cobs #ii mephone #ii spoilers #ii 16 spoilers #objectober #objectober 2024 #okay i'll be honest. the final drawing barely fits the prompt #however! it was inspired by it #'internet' immediately made me think of 'welcome to the internet' by bo burnham #and my mind instantly jumped to 'and it did all the things we designed it to do'#and y'know... steve cobs designed mephone to be able to create things #and so in a way mephone is fulfilling his purpose by creating the contestants #he's fulfilling his purpose by doing what his dad did #and then that made me think of the garden of eden story #where god creates both adam and the tree of knowledge #he tells adam not to eat its fruit and yet adam inevitably does; thus adam gains free will #and one has to wonder if that was god's intention all along - for humans to have free will #whereby adam - through the apparent defiance of god - is able to become exactly what he was created for #and y'know... mephone making his show as a rebellion against cobs...#only for that very show to be a creation borne of his intended purpose #so yeah. my mind jumped from bo burnham to the biblical creation of man #anyway!! very very happy with how this turned out #my favorite part is the charger snakes. i'm so glad i came up with that idea #also cobs' arm! that turned out really well! i referenced my own hand for his!!#in any event... it turns out i really really like biblical imagery and symbolism huh #also yes i did stay up all night like a maniac drawing this. the idea came to me and i just had to see it through :D i'm glad i did

🏳️‍⚧️ DOUBLE HEADCANON ATTACK!!! 🏳️‍⚧️

Family HCs are already fun on their own but with transness added on they're even better. It's actual comedy gold. Also I've always wanted to draw some kind of Meta Knight VS Galacta Knight type thing, but I can't take anything seriously like that. So you get This.

What This is, is a way too high effort shitpost. It took a combined 2 and a half? Days, though most of it was just sketching. I'm proud of it! Anything for the bit.

Textless version + unfinished doodle under the cut
