One of the funny things here is that some scholars argue, that Tolkien did get a lot of inspiration from "Niebelungenlied" which is part of Wagner's "Ring Cycle".

Bugs Bunny could have simply walked into Mordor. He would have shown up at the gates of Mordor in a disguise and been like “Evil volcano inspection unit” and flashed a fake ID badge to the confused orc.

#In the end it's always the same story #Der Ring der Nibelungen #I mean there is a possibility that Alberich the 'dwarf' from Nibelungenlied is a huge inpiration for Alben/Elfen/Dwarfs in mythology #But it's all going hand in hand #But you can find some things from the epos in LotR #There is this really cool documentary that features the artists of the movies #And it's really interesting #It's called “Looking for the Hobbit” and it can be watched for free on arte.tv #A LA RECHERCHE DU HOBBIT #Looking for the Hobbit #Lord of the Rings

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

#personal #im still fighting it but im also a realist so I’ve accepted that this will be our future #rant #gen ai is fucking boring #I hope this doesn’t make me sound like a ‘going against the crowd. not like the rest of society’ type (it would be depressing if it did)#but yeah even in a world where it’s considered totally fine to use ai to make art I’ll still be using my bare hands #because I like it and nobody can take that from me #if you’re a young artist interested in or already using ai. just know that the thing you rely on to make art can be taken away at any point #all of it. and there’s nothing you can do about it if they decide to. it doesn’t belong to you

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

#all clothes provided through hand me downs and grandparents #we asked for non strongly gendered or branded things and that mostly worked for firstborn boy #but baby girl has gotten nothing but the cutest little dresses #that I am absolutely not going to stress if she destroys because it's not like they'll last until next summer anyway #at which point she'll be big enough for her brother's dirt-compatible pants #now if we can get her to stop EATING the dirt that would be GRAND #her pronouns are om/nom #literal definition of a baby

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!!#how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

Handposting

#the 2nd and 3rd works were supposed to be in the same style as my bad dog hands #however they went in completely different directions #obviously.#figured I’d still post them all together #learning to go with the flow of how a work ends up turning out rather than getting mad it’s not following the idea I had in my head is good #saved me from scrapping a fuck load of works #still wanna do more bad dog hands. idk why it’s impossible for me now #my art #digital art #artists on tumblr #art masterpost #surreal art #digital painting

was anyone gonna tell me shadow saved rouge's life in sa2 or was I just supposed to find that out playing the game myself

(this worked out as a rather fitting closer for the Final Day in Year of Shadow haha, hope ya'll have a fun new year! 🎉🎉🎉)

#happy new year!#closing 2024 with an actual honest to god comic layout I know I'm shocked too #that scene wasn't in the fandub and that's all I'd ever seen so it was a Fun Surprise!#shadow the hedgehog #rouge the bat #sonic #sonic adventure 2 #sa2 #my art #doodles #comic #no words though! rare form #fun fact the white jungle route is the Only route I ever executed Flawlessly first try #just give me a good countdown and suddenly I know how to play video games #and a fun one too! love the Drama #fun fact originally his dash was green since i assumed he was teleporting around as usual #but my friend pointed out he actually didn't have an emerald on him at the time #which meant if he Didn't find rouge in time or if she Didn't have an emerald they were Both going to die #which is Excellent fun #I do have a shitposty bonus to this because of course I do but we'll see if I have time to make it tonight or not haha #if I was a Little better laying this out the final panel would've centered under panel 2 shadow's hand #tragically it was late enough in the game when I got to that point I didn't want to fuck with the layout anymore #maybe next time I make a comic layout in 4 years!

they abandoned it for a reason.

I have this recurring dream where I'm in a bathroom or locker room with a nonsensical layout and dark, green tiles. There's not blood or a figure, just this idea that I need to leave now or I might never leave at all. There are no posters, no personal belongings, nothing but smooth tile and a horrible sense of dread. The corners are dark. Something is on its way.

#my art #horror art #honestly I wanted this to be better but also I'm not going to hand paint a bazillion tiles so. I already drew all the lines myself!!#lol

2/2

#“better late than never!” ahh post #this quote reminded me of ren's thought process during 2/2. its not supposed to reflect the canon dialogue. rather his internal monologue #had to adjust it a little to fit the context tho #anyway yea im clocking out happy shuake divorce day everyone #the fact that any reality where ren and akechi meet is always destined to end with akechi dying is so fucked up #persona 5 royal #persona 5 #shuake #akeshu #goro akechi #ren amamiya #akira kurusu #lotus draws #something about akechi’s death always being a sacrifice…..its always so intriguing to me #like despite the fact that he embraces his identity as an assassin so thoroughly and even thinks virtue and righteousness is blithe #he still performs the most selfless act of all when he’s backed into a corner knowing he will lose #this could be read as a) he would rather go out on his own terms and die making a statement where he actively chooses to sacrifice his life #knowing that the enemy could never kill him in a way that matters bc he has never had an ounce of control his entire life #and for once at least he demands control over his death. if nothing else in his miserable life where everything was predetermined #OR b) deep down inside he still remembers the child he used to be who would idolize heroes and their justice #he may have been a villain his entire life but in that moment when he knows he’s doomed he’d rather let the “heroes” get the upper hand #by buying them time with his death. at least in one way he was able to live up the the childlike fantasy he so cherished #anyway yea auughh akechi….truly made to fuck me up

Waluigi is prolly the safest of the 4 plumbers to come out too. Man is the definition of GNC Bisexual. He wouldnt care actually, he'd be like "okay thats nice and all but I asked if I could scam you" and not wait for an answer.

POV: You just came out as transgender to an overall-clad lad

"Oh, yeah! That's-a so nice! Yahoo!"

"Oh? Wowie...I'm-a so happy for you! Actually, I got something to tell you, too..."

"ok"

"WAAAAHHHHHH!!! What do you MEAN, you have two sets of pronouns??! Waluigi only has ONE!!!! NO FAIR!!!!! WAAAAHHHH!!!!"

#All of this was going to stay in my drafts but you've forced my hand #super mario

HOT, SINGLE, UNSTUDIED SPONGES. 3000 NAUTICAL MILES AWAY. Come sail the distance and read Tiger Tiger!

#tiger tiger #ludovica bonnaire #remy bonnaire #jamis arlesi #This comic has been on my radar for *years* and I only recently - finally - sat down to read it. And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy? Do you need a new bra? My hands are free on Thursdays!'#And Ludo! My lass! I love her dearly! Every page made me more fond of her.#Book smart and uses it in very good ways! Naive enough to think it is all she needs! Learns a lot and stays kind through the horrors!#I could go on and on but...you...the person reading this...you *are* going to read it - aren't you?#So I'd hate to spoil you any more! Go read Tiger Tiger! Do it! For the sea sponges!#Rumour has it they are also freshly divorced. It was messy. Sea sponge needs a distraction. That could be you. Distracting that sponge.#You wont know until you click that link and start reading!

so i was discussing Aerith last night

#ffvii #aerith gainsborough #fanart #ff7 #a friend convinced me to play og ff7 a year or two ago and it lives in my head rent free now #with the downside that i go a little feral anytime i see aerith portrayed as a soft uwu healer girl #i did not get that energy from her AT ALL #me: do we think she'd use one or two hands for the glock #husband (after some deliberation): she's a menace to society but she's a menace that understands the importance of proper firearm handling.#so two.
