While I do think anon was rude, I do think it's pretty shitty to set up all this stuff you were going to add the au and then just drop it. It's disappointing. Definitely unfollowing.

Bye.

I swear, "he's weirdly/overly nice because he's traumatized" is so much better than "he's mean and broody because he's traumatized"

Edit: this is specifically a gendered thing, because media loves traumatized women as people pleasers and men as dark and broody, but obviously in real life it doesn't split neatly down that line. Men can become people pleasers and angry women can be violent. I loved that Twinkling Watermelon showed an abused female character, Yoon Chung-ah, biting people and The Double with the highly destructive and very traumatized Princess Wanning. It makes a lot of sense in No Gain No Love that a kid who was told his very existence is harmful and wrong would become a people pleaser.

Tried drawing with pens today!!

Little guys in love (so fiddly to draw cause they’re tinyyyy)

Tumblr killed the quality I’m gonna SCREAM

[m1ckeyb3rry]

my favs looking glorious and magnificent in the new chapter per usual 🙏🏻 gobbling up the nagi crumbs as we get them because it’s been too long since we saw him last in full 😩 and ngl i’m surprised karasu was used as an example because he hasn’t been as much of a main character as the others used to illustrate the point but i am NOT complaining

The tragedy of ur boyfriends not letting u bite them just a little. As a Treat.

A Tup from @trudemaethien’s excellent fic Edeemi, Baby, One More Time that I drew back in May! I didn’t have a Star Wars tumblr at the time and wasnt planning on posting it anywhere so I forgot about it until now, but I had such a fun time playing around with lighting effects and his expression!

I really love their mer universe and I’m especially fond of Tup’s POV in this fic. It’s such a good job of expressing the confusion and frustration of communication barriers and reasonable, best-intent misunderstandings between all of them, while still leaning into the positive aspects of discovering the world and representing it from slightly different perspective than people normally take 10/10 highly recommended

Closeup of the sketch for his expression under the cut because I was super happy with it

Nassy made him wear the cone of shame because he kept licking his wounds like a cat. Drew this bc of @alovelylonelygoodra 's post :3

Day 16

As the human and I did not share any duties during this particular cycle, I decided now might be a fitting time to inform the Vitrichl about the aforementioned book, which could possibly grant a further insight into Terrans.

Despite the quite serious circumstances we are currently in, I was able to secure a time frame to initiate a conversation regarding this topic.

I repeated the information V-7 had been able to conjure on this as well as other stories and reports on humans.

"There seems to be one…obstacle, though: The book‘s last documented location is in system Skė-51-33, which does not seem to be even remotely near our current route.", I eludicated.

The Vitrichl seemed to consider the information given, keeping in mind the reason the SIIR Noxos usually avoids this particular system: its unfriendly and occasionally aggressive nature.

Concluding, I was able to convince the Vitrichl through the benefits this book could provide in the task of studying humans, causing the Vitrichl to eludicate that changing the route was currently not possible, but as soon as the chance was offered to us, we would make a short detour through this system to retrieve said book, given that the book was still located there.

In the meantime, I was tasked with retrieving as much possible information on this particular and other sources about humans.

Our arrival on Fendaar is imminent, as we are nearing the planet‘s atmosphere. Further reports will follow.

(template by peppertode!) (i attempted to include alt text, but exceeded the limit once i hit september. sorry about that! all pieces should have alt text in their individual posts tho!)

my 2024 art summary! 🖤🌷

over on bluesky, i mentioned that while i don't feel like i got ""a lot"" done this year, i DO feel like the overall quality of the pieces i did finish has improved! it's been a long road getting back on my artistic feet, and i think i'm finally, finally starting to settle into a workflow and process that really clicks for me.

the year began on an extremely sour and discouraging note for me, but i've started planting roots again and am even more determined to make like a mint plant and continue existing out of sheer stubbornness and spite. starting in june, i had the privilege of helping out tmnt4p and working with some lovely and generous people, as well as getting to be a part of my first big zine (so excited and humbled!!! fantastic creators here!!). i've also been throwing questions at other oc-owners, both in and out of tmnt spaces, and it's been utterly delightful getting to learn about y'all's characters and your thought processes around them!! and thank you so much for firing some of your own questions right back at me! it's been so much fun.

i won't pretend like i don't have some kind of dread toward the upcoming year, but one of my methods of escapism IS continuing to work on and build my characters, stories, and worlds, so i'm gonna keep doing my best to put that energy into some form of creation. some of the major things i'd like to do this year--aside from oc profiles--is start working regular, timed studies into my art routine, as well as do more pieces with full environments (like the ones from april, september & october). we'll see! creative whims are strange creatures, and i'm also easily distracted by memes. gonna keep an art journal, too! so i can not only reflect on my art, but do a bit of self-evaluation and find focus points to improve on!

thank y'all so much for coming along with me, and for just generally lasting another loop around that flaming ball in the sky we call a sun. you're awesome. do no harm, but take no shit. ✌✨

dndads just pulled the ultimate love triangle situation after they killed off the main guy, idk how to feel...

Why did clown say that beta and present Wally wouldn’t get along, again? His concept was initially going to be religious, right?

HMMM. i couldn't find anything from clown talking about how canon wally and beta wally would react to each other Specifically, just this ask talking about how A.) beta welcome home was a lot more 3edgy5me than what we ended up getting and B.) that wally was one of the biggest changes, but for obvious reasons we can't go into much detail about that yet. look at some older concept art with those facts mind and it is.... Easy To Guess that beta wally was a lot more antagonistic towards the neighbors specifically.

for what it's worth i imagine that at the very least, beta wally would Not look upon canon wally favorably, considering the latter ended up with a lot of traits that originally belonged to beta wally's old heroic rival sunny (loved by every neighbor, best friends with barnaby, etc etc.) i imagine most people would feel weird about looking at a Perfected Clone of themselves even if they weren't villains.

tim "i'm not trying to be romantic" → gets his girlfriend a 1st place trophy before she even takes the detectives exam because he believes in her so much, and then writing in a little '7' next to it after she notified him that she didn't do as well as she had hoped SEEMS PRETTY FUCKING ROMANTIC TO ME.

Or, Ed learns of the existence of Stede’s sexy little reading glasses and embarks upon the romantic mission of a lifetime to make sure he’s able to see them on his perfect face forever and always. There may or may not be ghosts.
