started painting again 🫠 sometimes you have to force your own hand
#I’m going to do the bedroom in almost the same color as the office/dayroom (pictured above)#different paint brand but almost identical shades#bedroom color might lean a little more blue-grey than blue-grey-green but tbd#I find it so soothing#and I figure it’s safer to go with something I already love than dive back into endless sample swatching 🤷♀️#my carpal tunnel is so bad that I think I might have to go wall by wall#and take a couple days off between each wall#but I’m determined to get rid of this didn’t-work-out green

max & daniel + eye contact
#aka maxiel ignoring everyone and living in their own little world#second one is giving renaissance#it's not much but it's honest work#it really isn't much and I have no reason for this; I just miss them#I feel like I've said this a million times already but it's true#and it started out as something completely different but I like this version#the amount of photos I saw from 2024 is painful#it wasn't the whole year and he was supposed to be wearing different colors in half of them but it is what it is#the more I look at it the more I hate it; it looks so silly#I was going to do it with less photos but I kept finding new ones and lost track of time editing them#because there was something strangely soothing about contouring daniel's nose :)#aaaahhhh whatever I spent hours on this#daniel ricciardo#max verstappen#maxiel#daniel#max#my work

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go
#the locked tomb#harrowhark nonagesimus#john gaius#harrow the ninth#this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL#this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships#(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think#the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real#but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed)#there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone?#yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't)#the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god#when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care#(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution)#and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on#it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there#while john is -- well he sure is being john huh#this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end#(with john slam dunked right into hell that is)#it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up#john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

old mikosys design hcs i still like
#drawing these out was hard bc my art style mixes and matches a lot of traits#and if they were separate people i'd probably draw them as complete opposites#so i had to find middle ground. between kiki and bouba if you will. that's what they are to me#oh also mido is here too. mido i feel is always self soothing in some way and just as 'proper' as mikoto#mikoto kayano#milgram#my art#mikoto#john#mido

obsessed with lisa giving carla her hand to hold every time they’re having a difficult conversation and specifically when it’s carla who initiates it. she really needs the physical tether to remind her that it’s not gonna be that conversation that’s making her anxious the one that drives carla to leave. and the way carla is in this relationship fits perfectly with what lisa needs. lisa makes her feel safe enough to share what she feels needs to be fixed but it always comes from a place of gentleness, the fact that she loves lisa and wants a future with her is never questioned.
when there’s turmoil lisa pulls away because that’s how she is, withdrawing is her way to go, but the relationship wouldn’t work if on the other side there wasn’t someone like carla, who doesn’t mind going the extra mile, taking the extra step beyond the middle ground to meet her there (not saying that’s always healthy, but this is a conversation for another post). someone who sees right through lisa and intuitively understands that giving more space to a hurt avoidant (who doesn’t go to therapy) only means leaving a gaping hole in the relationship and hoping no one trips over it, it would just solidify what lisa is already thinking (this isn’t working, i made myself too vulnerable, i need to run).
carla knows that, no matter how unaffected she might look on the outside, lisa’s actions come from fear, both proposing and running away after the rejection. from fearing that control is slipping away from her and doing everything to get it back. so, carla knows she has to take the lead. and never been one to shy away from big feelings and big discussions, she doesn’t mind cornering lisa, telling her a hundred times that this needs to be discussed because silence really won’t do a damn thing (i care i care i care), letting her be purposefully petulant, begging her to sit down and not run away and eventually looking her in the eye and telling her hey, this doesn’t work for me right now but let’s work it out together. let’s map out a future in which we’re both happy and comfortable and it’s love that’s guiding us and not grief. you weren’t wrong in opening up your heart. i love you. and lisa is soothed (and i’m left a bit teary eyed at 8AM over soap characters once again)
#i’m not a they’re perfect and so healthy !!! truther because I find it unrealistic and boring#but i do think their flaws and trauma responses fit together perfectly#ofc carla has had an exponential growth but she’s always been the one to make a sacrifice for her lovers#only before her devotion was met with explosive anger or weird manipulation tactics#and now it’s met with a bolting tendency that can be soothed with a lot of affection#not 100% ideal but much much better right?#swarla#coronation street

a hc i have is where Coruscant is still not a very good posting, but the Guardsmen try to make it as enjoyable as possible for the visiting troopers. they scout out good party/relaxation/dining spots for clones, they personally get supplies that troopers normally would never have (usually small things like nail polish, high quality shaving cream, a music box, etc.), and they just like to improve life on the planet in general for themselves and by extension the other troopers, which can add another reason for Fox and his commanders to be so busy & secretive so often (especially if you want to make the ways they make this possible very angsty and/or complicated) and another chance to make all the clones more connected despite their differing views/experiences.
#radio.static#i don't like thinking of ALL the other clones thinking of the Guardsmen negatively‚ so I tend to just try to find happier alternatives#i've been thinking of this for a few months‚ and then i came across a nice fic that had explored the same idea! made me happy#A very specific thought i've been having regarding this is where i tie in the hc that Jek has a garden & Rys can really soothe anxieties#so Jek invites stressed troopers to help or relax in the garden‚ and Rys can get them to talk about their issues in the safety of the garde#coruscant guard#commander fox#star wars#the clone wars#star wars the clone wars#sw#tcw#sw tcw#clone wars headcanons

DONT LEAVE ME……mason when i catch you 🏃🏃


with you it’s what. FINISH THE SENTENCEEEE
#twc book 4 spoilers#twc demo spoilers#i just woke up and couldn’t wait any longer to yell about it so that’s what this is unfortunately zero eloquence#and don’t even get me started on the scene right after this when liams powers discharge again#nooo definitely not going to use that ‘being around you almost takes it away completely’#<- to make liam interpret it as something about his mutation soothes masons hypersenses and that’s why he keeps him around 🤭#nooo definitely not why would i do that 🤭#i have so much more to say but my eyes are literally pointing different directions rn I’ll find it. just needed to scream about this#the wayhaven chronicles#detective liam kingston

“Yeah I’m really not loving Ron Marz superboy run. According to the reading guide I’m following SB first meets Robin in this 2 issue mini series, so I think I’ll just read that and then skip ahead to young justice—“

No…. Nooooo…… no, not chuck dixon—
I fucking hate Chuck Dixon.
#sigh. I’ll give it a shot. maybe it’ll surprise me.#I have read several chuck dixon issues from a couple different series at this point#and I have yet to find his writing bearable#idk though I like Kessel for the most part so hopefully this will be fun#and if not it’s only two issues#anyway tag rant over#superboy#Robin#fuck chuck Dixon#dc comics#live blogging#the dread of seeing chuck dixon as writer is slightly soothed by the healing glow of tom grummet on pencils#at least I’ll have some fun panels hopefully#kon el#Conner Kent#Tim drake

nine out of ten times I envision wilmon in my head simon is in wille's lap, usually asleep, usually on a couch, with the room dark except for the tv that is playing some movie, usually the two of them alone but sometimes in linda's or rosh/ayub's house when everyone has gathered together; simon's head on wille's shoulder, wille gently rubbing simon's scalp or back, every few minutes gently kissing simon's hair or the corner of his mouth. i like to think (if they're not alone) that linda keeps throwing glances their way throughout the entire thing, that she shares her smiles with wille and wille smiles at her back; that rosh rolls her eyes at him but she's not-so-secretly actually glad that wille and simon have each other. that sara and felice are cuddled up somewhere too. if they are in fact alone and in their own home, wille doesn't even bother waking simon up; he just turns the the tv off and carries simon to bed, which ends up making simon stir a bit but before he can fully wake up wille just gets under the covers himself and the heat of their bodies and the duvet puts both of them right to sleep
#I think this is the very essence of wilmon in my head#just them being sleepy cuddly cllingy together and their friends/family finding them insufferable but being secretly so so happy for them#I also just love the idea of simon falling asleep on wille or just finding his scent/presence soothing#they need to come back to me....#young royals#wilmon

I've finally got the time and energy to carry on with the rewrite and I am... stuck.
I've reached the part where I need to make the kiss obvious now, Zuri can't skirt around it anymore. Not in her own head, at least💀
The problem is, the body language that Zuri and Bobby exhibit is important to the dialogue they exchange and the kiss (especially since I'm writing around the "unwanted kiss" version in the books, I'll go into detail about that a bit in the tags) but a full on flashback isn't going to work with the way I've already written this.
So... do I just keep the dialogue and leave the details out and up to imagination? Or do I keep them by having the memory be in italics and split up between her current thoughts + anything else happening around her?
#the way the unwanted kiss is in the books is a little...hm#just the words “unwanted kiss” puts it in a weird territory#and makes the detective kissing back seem...hm#but I've found a way to work with it and have it make sense for zuri#by now it's obvious that they have a lot of history#and they did have some good times before everything went to shit#bobby is gonna use that of course - and he's going to use a detail she shared in a tmi type of conversation they had#while they were...partaking in something that lowered their inhibitions lol#with the motive of hitting zuri in the “you're special” soft/weak spot he knows she has#it usually wouldn't work coming from him because she knows his game#but this is after days of adam telling her that he's around her mostly because its his job#and right after overhearing him telling nate - someone he is obviously very close to#someone that she assumes he has no reason to lie to or hide things from - that he doesn't have any type of feelings for her#and it bothers her more than she'd ever admit at this point - it stings and she doesn't like that it does#she to a certain extent knows that it's a lie#but it planted seeds of doubt around the interactions they've had where she did seem to matter to him beyond being someone he has to protec#so... kissing bobby is going to be more of a temporary lapse in judgement than something she initiates or encourages or anything#but she does kiss him back for a bit - thanks to her classic 'find comfort in someone' coping mechanism#but it's not all that comfortable because it's coming from bobby and in the back of her mind she knows he isn't being entirely genuine#but it soothes the sting a little - until the alarm bells move to the front of her mind and she stops#so how do I convey ALL THAT without it pulling people out of the story? I'm leaning towards the latter#but any input would be super helpful🥺#chichi.txt

For anyone else who is gonna struggle surviving the next 3 weeks with the angsty and tense situation of Callowmoore here's a few things from the last 2 episodes that I feel were underrated and will assist in trying to keep me sane/emotionally stable: - Matching messed up hands built for holding - Fearne nervously playing with her hair as she approaches Ashton - Ashton wanted Fearne to be either the last thing they saw if they died or the first thing they saw when they succeeded - Fearne's admittance corroborates Ashley's 4SD revelation that Fearne is in love with someone in the party but doesn't know how to process the emotions - Fearne wanted Ashton to be happy, while Ashton wanted to feel whole so they would be worthy of the Hells - Ashton twice tried to lead a search for Fearne, and instantly clocking onto Chetney saying he followed Fearne - Fearne making herself look as radiant as possible before giving Ashton the cold shoulder - Ashton only rose to Chetney's provocations until he said 'You hurt Fearne' Use how you will
#godspeed my poor damaged psyche#critical role#bells hells#callowmoore#ashton greymoore#fearne calloway#fearne x ashton#ashton x fearne#strangely enough I don't enjoy having a dark and sad pit sitting in my chest day to day#3 weeks and we don't even get a cute M9 reunion in between to distract us? this was worse than Callowmoore's sistergate 3 week wait#also 'a little'? Sweetie people don't jump into lava for a little you got the big L and it's not Lesbian(s)#Feel like Laudna was a bit cruel this ep (Ash has been there for her a ton and she kinda villainized him) but we'll put it down to Delilah#much of Ashton's trauma has been overlooked or left to them to internalize but still nobody has told them that they are loved#and Ashton Greymoore needs to be told they're loved! (by Fearne)#but yeah time for more positive mental scenarios that 99% won't happen (but when that 1% does ho boy)#couldn't have just had Fearne go 'no talking' and sleep on Ash's chest to hear their heartbeat as her touch soothes Ash's pain could we?#or final fight scenarios where Ludinus is a walking harness and Ashton tricks them into absorbing their titan powers so he'd explode#they could've even had a talk in the woods because they wanted to find her so bad but was not gonna test Imogen's patience#I for one though will have at least one where Ashton seeks out Mori for advice (Fearne too but separately)#Tal I need you to use all your romantic arsenal in the feywild (Percy's worst travel experience) to win back Ashley's beautiful faun girl#bonus prompts for 'You will always be perfect to me' and 'Promise you'll come back to me' they pop up often in my scenarios#taliesin jaffe#ashley johnson

"shadows are inverted flames" -> wilsons hair is made of shadow -> YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HAIR IS MADE OF FLAME??? PETPETPETPET
also wilson can't leave the throne so he just has to deal with her doing this 24/7
#i cant believe i frankensteined this piece back to acceptability. wack.#dont starve#dst willow#wilson higgsbury#willowson#i kind of uh. hated the linework for this. so then i just. threw every trick i knew at the piece until it tuned out ok#still. dont look too hard.#real talk... it probably feels like thick clouds of smoke... incredibly soft... very soothing yes yes.#i will always come back to willowson. Actually Mad mad scientist x escaped asylum felon arsonist.#and its always a toss up as to who is going to be more unstable in any given situation.#they take turns.#usually wilson is Responsible. he likes feeling adult unlike willow. but sometimes he goes WACK and willow goes (sigh) guess ill clock in#what if we were both horrible people put in a situation where it didnt really matter anymore#could we find some kind of solace in the now-mundane insanity. could it become borderline domestic.#the closest thing to a home either of us have really ever had#i know wilsons parents canonically loved him very much . but#what has it amounted to for him? does he even believe he was loved at all?#his comments about nannies... they left you alone a lot didnt they poor boy. with nothing but books and bad ideas and worse thoughts#and willow. (gestures to the ashes of the orphanage and the Metaphor of 'seeing shadows')#wilson (haunted by his mind) (as in the threat is internal and the threat is Him)#willow (haunted by her mind) (AS IN SHE IS LITERALLY BEING HAUNTED)#(alternatively a metaphor for a vague and nameless mental illness. more of an allusion to the old 'asylums' than a specific diagnosis)#also they have fangs. ok goodnight#my nyart
