Just a small heads up, if you include shipping you may wanna make it clear that there are ships and what ships are there. A lot of people aren’t comfortable with shipping, especially since I’ve seen people say Joel thinks it’s a bit weird to be shipped with anyone other than Lizzie (needs to be fact checked, this is just what I’m seeing in boat boys comment sections). Maybe consider making the ship stuff a separate section or just telling people in advance (pinned post, bio, anywhere clear works) that it includes shipping so those who don’t like it can walk away.
important info about the zine plz read even if you didn’t send the ask:
thank you for the heads up! We’re about to get super rambly and vaguely off topic but we promise all your points get addressed. This is actually a great opportunity to clarify, because I realized I didn’t explain myself particularly clearly, if some one does choose to include shipping, its all going to have to be subtext (as always except for shadowbeans whose alternate ship name I still refuse to use), but that is for non-canon ships. Regardless of how people feel about it, c!Joel and c!Jimmy did in fact kiss in Real Life smp, and c!Joel and c!Sausage did in fact have a child together in esmp2, so we’re not gonna rewrite events. Basically when I say shipping in the context of this zine I mean taking relationships the c!Joel had with other people and creating moments that didn’t necessarily happen but feel plausible for the characters that are able to be interpreted as romantic as well as platonic. Also, everyone’s definition of ship art is different, so the level that I was thinking is pretty mild (and btw I’d like to interject here that this is not me dissing on shipping or ship art love shipping so much that I found a ship called the relation and I never left it, but I also know that people have all sorts of comfort levels with different things so this zine is going to be dry docked but I assure you that out there on my super secret personal blog we are very much lost at sea). Like, to give some examples of what would be okay versus not okay for the zine: kissing is pretty much off limits, honestly mostly because that’s a pretty boring zine piece, there’s nothing going on except the ship, but anything where any sort of romance is up to the interpretation, such as hugging, handholding, spending time with, these are all normal things, but also this can’t be the focus of the piece. Please no one just draw like Joel and someone hugging and call it a day. Implied shipping is allowed to feature in your piece, not be the main focus of it. That’s just not an interesting zine piece. Valid art/writing, still amazing stuff keep sharing it on the internet it’s very interesting, just not in the context of this zine. Anyway, you are correct about not everyone being comfortable with that stuff, so if any piece comes off as really shippy without violating the guidelines we’ll make sure to label it correctly, but also, I should make it clear, I’m really hoping that shipping doesn’t become the focus of this zine. It is a Joel zine, so Joel should remain the focus, and any shipping would be subtextual and not central to the zine. There are many great Joel ships out there with lovely content to consume, but that’s not really the focus of this zine. Also, that aside, if Joel doesn’t want his character (because we are talking about shipping cs here. Cc!Joel is a lovely person, but this zine is going to be in-character. Also while cc!Joel should absolutely be respected in what sort of fan content he wants people making about him, his character is, well, just that: a character. Its like saying you can’t ship two characters from an animated tv show because their irl voice actors aren’t comfortable being shipped. It’s just two different things) shipped with characters who don’t belong to his wife, he should probably stop making his c! kiss all those men. And have children with them. And send them love hearts in the mail. And call them babe. If he did it in canon it’s probably safe to say we’re good having them do it in fan content. But again shipping should be an extremely small part of the zine if it’s there at all and should be subtextual enough that even people who don’t ship can still positively engage with the zine!!! If it needs a warning, it’s probably too shippy.
also all this aside if I’m handling this wrong guys I’m sorry I’m only one person and it’s really stressful trying to please everybody I promise I’m trying my best but I just wanna get together with a bunch of other people who share this strange fascination with the bean man and make art and writing about it I don’t wanna get canceled or something I promise I’m trying my best. I’m really struggling to balance my love of creating shipping fan content and realizing that not everyone is comfortable with that and it’s really difficult and stressful I just can’t we all just draw and write what makes us happy I just want this to be a fun experience and being yelled at on the internet for drawing two characters who’s ccs aren’t in an irl relationship being something other than friends is not my definition of a good time. I’m not accusing you anon of doing anything like that the ask was very respectful but I’m worried this post will prompt less polite people to come and yell at me.

New Pinned post <3
Hi there, the name is Zelda, or one of like, 20 other names that may or may not be listed somewhere around here. If you know a name I go by that isn't findable here don't use it. <3
I'm bigender which is made up of girl and fem6oy, as such I use she/her and sometimes he/him pronouns when I'm feeling fem6oy enough <3
I'm in my 30s, not getting more specific than that until I decide it's not true enough to change it, don't try to find my exact age as I don't like sharing that information publicly, I don't even update it on my birthday <3
I'm a polyamorous bisexual voraphile freak and if you're over 18 you're welcome to talk to me about how much of a freak I am. I love to flirt and encourage it. Also happy to share my Other Blog with anyone interested, again as long as you're of age. <3
I'm a film graduate and currently working on doing something with that experience as well as working on a superhero comic and a 2D zelda style game. Feel free to bug me about any of those I love to discuss writing and media and want to encourage media literacy. <3
I'm also an ex-jehovahs witness and as a result I'm hugely into the holiday season in a very against my old god kinda way. Also big into sinning <3
Also I'm like, a dragon in probably an otherkin/thetadelta kinda way, like, it's core to who I am and how I understand myself so yeah. Despite this my fursona is a fox, the dragon in my icon is literally me <3
I also draw sometimes and when I do it'll be posted to @dragongirldrawings but always reblogged here too.
Also I'm a member of a plural system, feel free to check out the rest of the system over here @haven-sys <3
Further on the identity weirdness I'm an imaginary friend for the person who used to inhabit this body, they've been gone for like, over 20 years so it's not really relevant but I have started embracing my nature as a fictional creation, it's comforting.
Btw, if one of my posts containing my typing quirk ends up on your dash I take no responsibility for it. I use it in posts that are for me only and if they happen to resonate with others that's their choice to reblog.
I had intended to set tipping up on my blog for a while but adhd caused me to never get around to it sooo, homebrew tip button on my original posts. Feel free and outright encouraged to steal this idea <3
So yeah that's me, hiii I love you all <3
this post is specifically a6out tum6lr user Zelda dragongirltongue [tip]
DNI list under the read more.
lmao imagine if I actually made one of those finally, that's how you'd know I've been replaced with an evil clone or something.
That being said if you're looking at my blog to send me an ask or dm about what someone gets off to please understand unless they're actively hurting someone I rly don't care. I have a lot of ignored and blocked anons about this.
This goes double if the person you're trying to alert me to is trans femme, we don't play that game here, especially given that I know I've been targetted for things as simple as engaging in vore the wrong way for some people or whatever.
Like, I just want to make it clear I rly don't give a fuck what another adult does in the bedroom, I rly don't care if the bedroom happens to include their blog and I rly don't care if they like to flirt about it with other adults on this website.
Also if your pinned post is a callout for anyone about anything it's likely to set off my paranoia around you, which is to say I will not be able to trust you if this is the case even if it's for someone who's actually a danger to a community, like, actively.
Like, this ain't a moral stance or anything, it's a mental health thing. I see that you want to make your first point of contact into a crosshair on someone else I'm gonna be scared you're gonna aim at me next even if it's completely reasonable that you'd never find anything objectionable with me. It scares me and I'm gonna spend every interaction walking on egg shells around you cos what if you're digging for dirt, like, I got no way of knowing.
Anyway as the opening joke implies I don't see any worth in having a list of things to not interact with me over cos the lived experience on this planet is so full of nuance and I've formed deem friendships with people who'd probably have avoided me if I had a DNI and they cared about it.
I think DNIs are dumb but this feels like a space to talk about some general limits on what I'm gonna put up with on this website. I'm just here for a good time with other freaks, anything else is optional. If you want to drag me into your discourse at this point then I guess this is whre I ask you to Do Not Interact. To anyone else, I love yall <3
If you've been directed here after sending an ask my way please apologize for wasting my time [here]
tl;dr DNIs are dumb but don't drag me into your personal grievances with others.
this post is still specifically a6out tum6lr user Zelda dragongirltongue [tip]

I’d be so curious who you’d make who! (It also wouldn’t let me message you, btw- like DM) like would Johnny be Johnny? I’m assuming Darry has gotta be Price 😂🙈 and the one who has an abusive family (Soda Pop? Johnny?) has gotta be Simon 😭🥺 I just naturally assumed PonyBoy was Gaz for some reason 🤣 would you then also make a cameo by Makarov, or König or anyone as the opposition? Who would Cherry be? Haha. The reader? 🤔❤️ idk. But I thought it was an interesting story for sure, and I can definitely see why you would wanna do that AU 🥰🙌🏻
Johnny Cade is the one with an abusive family he is also the one who passes away after the church fire. But I can definitely go into more detail with this AU. (Also, I have no clue why you couldn't dm me?? I'll have to check that)
Personally, I feel like Simon would be Dallas, mostly because if you read the book (which I am basing this whole AU off of mainly) Dallas was described as "the real character of the gang" and Ponyboy liked to draw Dallas when he was in a "dangerous mood" cause he could get his likeness in only a few lines and in the book Dallas had blonde hair and eyes "blue, blazing ice, cold with the hatred of the whole world." And I feel like that lines up almost perfectly with Simon, especially given both of their backstories. Dallas has an extensive record, and while he was still living in New York, he would regularly join in on gang fights and was first ever arrested at the age of ten. But regarding your ask, I would put Gaz in Johnny's place (I'll explain more later.) and the only reason I'm not putting Simon in Johnny Cades place is because with Simon's backstory his mother actually CARED for Simon and that's a big part of his story. In Johnny Cades' backstory, it is both his dad AND his mom who abuse him, and I couldn't mentally put Simon in that place with how much Simon loved his mother before he lost her.
Price would 100% be Dally. Dally in the book is described as having dark brown hair and pale blue-green eyes that have a "determined set to them, like the rest of him" and Soda Pop (who is Dally's younger brother along with Ponyboy) is the only one who teased him. Ponyboy states in the book that he'd "just as soon tease a full-grown grizzly" than pick on Dally, and I feel like that is how the 141 treats Price when he is in Captian mode. Not to mention, I feel like both Price and Dally have that same situation of "they're only hard on you because they care about you." Like it may not seem they care much about the people they consider brothers with how they treat them, but in reality, both Price and Dally care SO MUCH and just want what's best for them and they show that in the best way they know how, by pushing their friends/brothers to be the best that they can be.
The reason I put Gaz in Johnny Cades' place is mainly because both characters have that same feeling of unwavering loyalty to the people who are close to them. Both are young and have everything to prove and everything to lose. In the book, Johnny was "everyone's kid brother" which I personally feel like is the relationship everyone has with Gaz since he is the "youngest" (next to Soap) member of the 141 and was described as looking like "a puppy" which reminds me a lot of how Gaz looks in some of the cutscenes. Both characters would do anything for their friends and look up to them in the way that a little brother looks to the eldest. While I personally don't know if Gaz's backstory lines up with Johnny Cades (if anyone does, please tell me) In my opinion Gaz is the best option in this AU to be in Johnny Cades position. (Minus the dying)
Soap I feel like would be Ponyboy. Both have artistic abilities, and both are extremely smart. Soap with explosives, which can be aligned with chemistry because it IS chemistry, and Ponyboy is described as being extremely smart in school regularly, getting straight A's with a few B's here and there. Both characters are extremely willing to help out where and when they can even if it borders on careless, Ponyboy literally running into a church fire to save a group of schoolchildren. And I feel like Soap is the more compassionate (is that the right word) out of the 141, regularly joking with Simon over coms and just overall less tight when tensions aren't running high. Not to mention, Ponyboy is the second youngest of the Greasers much like how Soap is in the 141. Also in the book Dally is constantly getting onto Ponyboy for "not using his head" and lacking common sense. Which just reminds me of Soap.
I'm still working on if there would be any cameos in this AU as I'm not entirely sure which COD characters would line up best with the rest of The Outsiders characters. But regarding your ask, yes, I would put reader in Cherry's place who has a little more depth in the book and is said to be a spy for the Greasers on what's going on with the Soc's and has some romantic feelings (though never explored) for Dallas (or in this AU, Simon) once she actually gets to know him as who he is. But that's who would be who in this AU based on my own opinions, but I am very open to suggestions since I myself am still working on making this a full fleged AU instead of just a missed opportunity shit post.

I don’t like uninvited guests…do I need to play exterminator?
}{ Gabrielle has arrived to the Ghost Groom Event!! }{
~~~~~
Voicelines :
🦋 Groovification : Come and burn little ghosts.
👻 Set Home Screen : This was all caused by Grim? Oh he is so getting an earful when this is all over.
🦋 Home Idle 1 : Would it be wise to keep Tractatori at bay? Probably...they're not that hungry anyways.
👻 Home Idle 2 : Marrying a ghost..I wonder what that would be like. I imagine you'd need to be dead for it to work though. If that is the case, we need to save Sophie ASAP.
🦋 Home Idle 3 : I'm not sure how much I like Yeray's plan of swapping places with Sophie...I'll help her however I can, but I don't know if that would solve the problem.
👻 Home, after Login : You know..we could probably just solve this by inviting Malleus and giving him the rundown of the situation, I’m sure he’d be more than happy to help Sophie. Or we get something that can banish ghosts. Either works.
🦋 Home Idle/Groovy : Once everything is finished and dealt with, I will be drowning myself in hot chocolate and taking a day or two to recharge and recover. Crowley can choke on a cactus if he complains to me.
👻 Home Tap 1 : I think I would appreciate this dress more if I wasn't snagged by some crabby maid ghost, insulted, and then forced to wear this instead. "Unsuitable attire" my butt. My dorm outift fit the theme..roughly.
🦋 Home Tap 2 : I think I saw a wedding cake. Can ghosts even eat food?
👻 Home Tap 3 : Why is it when something happens Ramshackle is always involved?
🦋 Home Tap 4 : I might not like the circumstances, but at least the decorations are nice…I don’t have to clean up all of it, do I? Please no, I really don’t have the patience for that this time.
👻 Home Tap 5 : I sometimes wonder if Soren has it easier at the RSA. He doesn’t seem to have an overly exciting life there..*sigh* I like adventures, but this is getting draining. I’d ask if he wants to swap places, but I think it’s a little late for that.
🦋 Home Tap/Groovy : What an interesting turn of events...
👻 Duo Magic : Shall we end this?

Random Bonus Notes! (A.K.A : my ramblings in point form, you don't have to read this.)
I used a wheel to decide what the rarity would be, it was 2/3 too. A great tool for anyone who's feeling indecisive btw. ~
I don't know how some people draw sometimes, but I tried! And honestly I think it turned out pretty good. Also, some of you guys are quick! It took me like a week to draw this lol. ~
Yes she is sitting on a grave/headstone. No I probably didn't shade it correctly (sorry). Yes she is holding a lamppost, it has something fire-like inside though. ~
Am I bit overly ambitious in design and planning? Very much so. And I'm pretty sure that I'm better at backgrounds than anatomy, then again I've never drawn people super often. Speaking of, I'll probably post the dress design, possibly the graveyard, later so you can see what I was using as reference and to see how overboard I am sometimes.
~~~
Some Long-ish Lore Notes!
This is one of my Ramshackle OCs, she is a 2nd Year and the *Housewarden (shocker). ^*I'm not saying Prefect because calling Yeray 'Vice Prefect' sounds a little weird, plus Ramshackle is a little more populated in my version. ~
Mentioned OCs : Yeray | 2nd Year, based on the character Yzma (from Emperor's New Groove), Vice Housewarden, responsible schemer. I might make a card for him...I dunno though. Soren | 2nd Year, from Gabrielle & Tractatori's world too, attending RSA, sunshine incarnate. ~
For anyone wondering about Tractatori, It's kinda hard to explain them, so the gist of it is they're like Venom, only they're a mysterious entity that's almost like the boogeyman where my OC is from. ^*Yes I know the name is weird, it's Latin, and from my research, means 'manipulator'. Take that with a grain of salt though. ~
Well this took me a bit, but thank you thank you for checking this out and thank you to @gl00myb3arz for making this event! I hope you enjoyed. Have a lovely day/night! ~ If you'd like to check out the fanevent more, just check out @gl00myb3arz or the hastag 'GhostGroom!!!'.

Ok this is such a niche prompt but it entered my head and won't leave and I think you might enjoy it.
Which of the characters, Canon or Casa Tidmouth interpretations (your choice), do you think would best fit into the roles of the TF2 Mercenaries
Feel free to ignore btw this is an "I can't sleep" kind of random idea.
Also autocorrect almost made that Canada Tidmouth and I only just noticed before hitting send. Something something au where everything is the same but the story happens in Canada instead of England.
you think I might enjoy it? damn right‼️ took some days for me to think about this …..as a tf2 fan of 5 years I GOT TO answer…‼️
scout — thomas awdry billington himself. kind of a smartass, (one of) the youngest of the cast, is involved with much of the story’s surface while lots of other characters are working behind the scenes… also has the highest chance to get a misspelled tattoo of his favorite song
soldier — …..duck? soldier is a huge american nut and that could parallel casa tidmouth’s duck and his great western schtick. though duck’s much smarter than soldier and would read the manuals on how to use a rocket launcher at least eighty times and checking every nook and cranny before firing it. also imagine duck reciting soldier’s speech from his character video
pyro — as much as some of the characters are involved in denpa-esque situations and experience some level of delusion I don’t think there’s anyone that could match pyro’s. hurricane and frankie could fit because of their thing with heat and fire and them being crazy but that’s a bit stretching
demoman — donald and douglas? because they’re scottish and have a knack for jokes? lol ….. I think henry could fit too because both him and demoman gets involved with supernatural occurrences out of their will but they just laugh it off
heavy — maybeeeee gordon. his taunts like “run cowards” “tiny baby man” and them both being the tall big strong guys drew me to this connection. but heavy is more reserved, calculating, and doesn’t boast too much about himself while many of gordon’s accidents came from his own hubris
engineer — victor methinks….. both dell and victor have degrees in engineering and considered the smartest in the cast. also the more amicable ones yet has the ability to lose their patience once in a while. also I literally only drew him once. have to draw him again because he’s like if tf2 engineer is a cuban man and much more sane
medic — either lady or d10. both lady and medic share the same morbid curiosity towards humanity (though lady is milder and more of an observer rather than a doer) and are amicable and polite. both d10 and medic conduct body altering experiments that could put them in the national watchlist and have little to no regard for the safety of people around them. so diesel 10 it is the cheerful and friendly aspects of medic remind me of edward for some reason????? probably the glasses
sniper — cranky. just think about it. perched on something tall. thinks everyone around them is an idiot. just wants to get the job done but also cracks some morbid if not slightly sharp jokes
spy — I’ll say diesel because this comparison has layers upon layers of joke.
also your phone autocorrect 🤣 casa tidmouth but it’s set in canada? that’s scott pilgrim vs. the world stanza halifax
#asks#doctor-yoshi-soul#casa tidmouth#(montague collett voice) IF FIGHTING RESULTS IN VICTORY THEN YOU MUST FIGHT‼️‼️#also the stanza halifax thing damn got me laughing over my own joke

Well it's Lix-goes-insane-time again!
Now, I caught up with S2 of Shangri La Frontier and I'm naturally impatient af for more episodes. Normally I would just go fuck it and start reading the manga and be done with it but because I know myself well and I can actually learn from my mistakes I'm planning on NOT doing that. Because every time I start reading the manga after I finish an anime I just... kinda drop the anime completely cause I lost interest in watching it (since I already know what happens). The only exception of this would be One Piece which I consume in a kinda batshit insane way of constantly playing catch up with both anime and manga.
Anyways since I actually love this anime and want to continue watching it without losing interest, I'm just... gonna read the manga from scratch.
Which.
I know this sounds stupid but! I actually checked out the novel translation as well and since I noticed some differences between novel and anime story line (nothing major), I'm gonna try reading the manga while keeping lookout for such differences as well. (I haven't read much but what I did read made it look like the anime is loyal to the manga which i appreciate)
This is not really the insane part btw, the insane part is that I have decided that Sunraku is just gonna be my model from now on and I'm gonna draw him. So often. Until I can finally feel more comfortable drawing bodies or at least his body type lmao. Since he's literally walking around half naked 90 % of the time I feel like this is a good oppurtunity to practice anatomy (because most of the time i just hide bodies with clothing lmao). I'm kind of trying to focus on hands cause that's actually the one thing I recently watched a tutorial on so I will see how that goes.
For anyone interested in my winging art, have some sketches I did on a whim under the cut.
first try at this (ignore the leg that's kinda meh) very rough but i think the proportions are okay? at least it doesn't feel super off ot me
second try, a bit cleaner than the first and i added some shading for 3D (i will keep all of these in grey scale i think since i want to focus on anatomy). again might not be super accurate but i still kinda like it? also surprisingly the bird mask is not that hard to draw lol
That's it for now. I might post more sketches in the future if i don't forget.
Wish me luck 🫡 (and hope that I don't drop this halfway through OTL).
#lixy reports#shangri la frontier#sunraku#this is probably not the best way to learn art but idgaf#sketch nook#<- new tag for rough sketches and wips#for when i get over my perfectionism and also post not completed stuff

HAPPY TURTLE TUESDAYYY TMNT FANDOMMM!!!! I have a treat for y'all artists who love to make TMNT OCs!!! If you love the 2012 era, you're gonna love this one too!!!
A FREE TO USE TMNT DARK HORIZONS FLASH GAME CHARACTER SELECT TEMPLATE, MADE FROM THE ACTUAL GAME SPRITES!!! (Scroll below for the Google Drive of the files, credits first to the artist though sorry! :D)
(ft also the fancy animation particles for when you get to this menu, for those who wanna add it too! (( the GIF is the raw version, without the effect settings/scripts added in Flash tho.)))
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND!! I DID NOT CREATE THESE ASSETS, NOR HAVE I DRAWN THEM
(I am an artist posting this, who has replicated the game's art as a fan, so I want to disclose clearly, that these are NOT MY WORKS HERE.)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give all the credit to the SENIOR ART DIRECTOR working on this Flash game, Damian Aliberti and his team of artists from Quadramma (I could not find sources online that confirm who are said artists unfortunately, so I can only credit the art-director for now)!!!
He even made a page about this project, for his portfolio! Check it out, it's AWESOME!! (CLICK MEE / TAP MEEE)
^I didn't know they planned to bring this to mobile, so you can predict that I'm happy, that this game is still seemingly loved by the Italian studio that made it seemingly. x) (I can only assume they're Italian, due to the file-names, don't quote me on this though, barely any info exists on this Flash game as you can predict LOL)
GOOD NOW THAT YOU HOPEFULLY READ WHO MADE THE PRETTY ART: CLICK ME OR TAP ME FOR THE GOOGLE DRIVEE (drive provides the GIF, a PSD, SAI2, PNG and MDP file!! [the joys of owning several art programs, making this much more accessible to people :v])
btw, also like..Maybe not use this for commercial/profit purposes though, that'd be profiting off resources you didn't make, and that are copyrighted. I don't think that's legal. :"v
NO CREDIT REQUIRED. COMPLETELY F2U. I did not after all make the assets, nor will claim so. :V as I mentioned, I extracted these from the actual game, which is why these are all so crisp and nice looking, instead of me using a snipping tool like 2 yrs ago for my fun challenge of recreating the game's artstyle LOL
I do NOT claim these assets or the art I've extracted as my own, this is all purely from the game, and very obviously, these are I guess, owned by Nickelodeon, so I ask you ofc do not...Do some legally questionable things w/ this stuff sdfklsd, pls behave fans, I'd rather not get reported for something I didn't do for providing this to the internet. xD
--
Whilst credit would be nice, and linking back to this would be even nicer for other fans who might just like me,, wanna replicate this cool game's aesthetic sdfskldglk, it's optional, completely LOL. It did only take like 2 hrs to piece this stuff together, to look like a real screenshot thank god. xD
FEEL FREE TO SHOW ME IF YOU ALSO DRAW IN THE GAME'S STYLE OR WANNA BANTER ABOUT TMNT OCS OROROR YKNOW USED THE THING AND WANT ME TO SEE ITTTT I GLADLY STARE AT TMNT POSTS NO MATTER WHAT ERAAAAA~
I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO APPRECIATE THIS GAME'S ARTSTYLE NGL. THAT'S ALL I WANT. And if more ppl also would wanna draw in it it'd make me so happy. I am like...The most acoustic TMNT fan out there man, I have the weirdest wishes in mind xD
Hope anyone wants this orrr like needs it orr dreamt of doing this too orrrr just never thought about doing it, but now that a free template is out there, someone might also wanna do it!! I love whenever like- fandom templates and stuff is made. I plan to maybe make this a Toyhou.se code too, since I do have the raw files of the games and could try to see if I can replicate the animations and stuff and make it non-premium and premium!
(Maybe I should make fandom codes more often in general tho at the topic of that, did it before for Terraria and helped out w/ a Monster High code, to give it a mobile compatible version LMAO)
If anyone or me figures out the artists behind the sprites, I'd gladly show them too, bc GORGEOUS GAME MAN!!!! THEY DESERVE ANY PRAISE THEY GET FOR THE ART AND THE GAME ITSELF ANSAHSHAJS, here I go again I swear, I'm done yapping now. I should participate in internet olympics when it comes to writing essays in every post I ever made. xD

All my Tarot Card designs
Pulled the 9 of Swords in a tarot reading recently and it inspired me to make my own card!
Check out the High-res version on my Patreon (for free!!!) Also it was available 2 days earlier than on Tumblr just letting you know kthxbyeeeeee
BTW. Hand lettering is harddddd. Just writing 'Blades' took for freaking ever! But I really like how it came out so worth in my opinion.
I tried something a little different with the shading, too! I incorporated some sharper, pen-and-ink type strokes because I like drawing squiggles to indicate tension. This wasn't initially intentional, but I think it also fits with the 'sharper' themes of the swords suit.
I did intentionally try to use cooler grays and whites for the shading. I wanted each suit to be distinct from the other visually so you could differentiate between them at a glance. The swords to me feel very cold and impersonal so I tried to make that come across in the actual art. I think I did a good job but lemme know lol.
Interpretations and my reasoning for choosing Kiryu for this card are below the cut so check those out if you're interested (I'd really appreciate it!!!)
The suffering depicted in the 9 of swords is rivaled only by that of the 3 of swords. The figure in this card is so consumed by their trauma, anxiety, fears, or worries (or even all 4) that it's nearly impossible to perceive the world outside of themselves; not in a selfish way, but rather due to the intensity of their pain.
The 9 of Swords is haunted by nightmares-- frequent reminders of their past: their mistakes, the ways they've been hurt, and the actions they could've taken to prevent all of this from happening in the first place. They've been so plagued by their thoughts that considering a future without this pain feels almost impossible.
With this card, we see the sheer power of the human mind at its most destructive. If this cycle is not broken, the 9 of Swords' pain will escalate to the 10 of Swords. This is not a sustainable cycle for anyone involved; changes must be made.
Reversed, we still see the pain depicted in the upright position, but there's a glimpse of a way out. While it's not easy to overcome your trauma or pain, the 9 of Swords at least has a desire to get out of this cycle-- to begin to heal. They've descended into their mind as far as they'd like and now they wish to venture outside themselves, back into the wider world.
Maybe they haven't healed yet, but they can at least hope that they can begin the process.
The design of this card was inspired mostly by the opening of Yakuza 2. Kiryu's plagued by the deaths of his family and is borderline suicidal because of this pain. He's having nightmares of their final moments and isn't able to be fully present in his daughter's life (Haruka's the one getting ready and cooking breakfast for the two of them).
When deciding on the background of this card, I wanted to try and depict the feeling of complete hopelessness that exists within this card. Normally, the Rider-Waite-Smith cards have backgrounds of varying complexity. I'd venture to say that the 9 of Swords is the only card where there isn't a background at all. Just the figure, their bed, and the swords, the constant reminder of their past. This person is literally incapable of seeing past their regrets and anxiety and fear because these emotions are so intense. It's haunting, in a way.
I chose to have the swords in this card pointed at Kiryu because a common theme in his grief, I feel, is that he feels that he's the one at fault. He believes that had he not gotten involved, his loved ones wouldn't be suffering right now. So the swords, rather than being passive elements lingering above, are sharpened, dangerous. They're ready to get retribution for the people that have been hurt. Unlike Kiryu, they'll inflict pain and feel no remorse.
On a lighter note, we see periods in Kiryu's life where he's able to somewhat escape his thoughts and attempt to make a happier life for himself, namely when he's running Morning Glory. This is the one time in Kiryu's life where we see him happy and fulfilled. He's still experiencing the effects of his past. He still has the habits he developed in response to this past, but he's trying to create a better life. One that he can share with his family.
What's important to remember about the 9 of Swords is that your thoughts don't have to be real. They don't have to dictate the course of your life. While it can feel like there's no escaping your pain, know that help is out there and there are others that are willing to help you.
#When I was rewatching the Kiwami 2 opening to see what Kiryu's room looked like#I realized he sleeps with the foot of his bed against the wall and his head facing the doorway.#At first I was like 'dude! That's bad feng shui! Your head is so exposed! You're not gonna be able to sleep well!'#But I think that's kinda the point...#I think I want to move onto the Page of Cups next? It's my favorite card in the deck I'm using atm. Haruka's gonna be the subject#yakuza#my art#yakuza fanart#kiryu kazuma#tarot card design

PERSONAL HERE: @minonow THIS BLOG IS NOW FOR ZESTIRIA OVERANALYZING ONLY
Hello. This post is purposed as the pinned post.
I have a general about me page, as well as an organized index for Zestiria-related translations and meta (for mobile users, you can check out this tag: #mino talks zesty, not including the pure translations, which I put on #mino translates instead, though lumped with non-Zestiria stuff too). Calling it meta perhaps is a bit too pretentious because it's, more often than not, a byproduct of me overthinking about a lot of things and pondering about them out loud. It's nothing special, really, most of the times they're even incoherent, but I'm glad if you enjoy them!
As such, you don't have to agree with my interpretations, as I am, just like everyone else here, just a fan. I don't have more authority on the game more than anyone else, I just like to scrutinize everything.
In the case of Zestiria analysis, aside from the original game canon itself (and Berseria, but that's included in the game canon), I mostly only take into account things that are supervised by the game director (Hase Yuuta, not Baba Hideo, by the way) (so basically the manga and the novel), or things that strictly try to adhere to the original game canon (e.g. Rays). This is because I personally love Zestiria for the themes and messages it stands for. No questions here.
Also, please don't try to blame Berseria's failing in consistency to Zestiria, that's Berseria's own fault. Make no mistake, I like Berseria, and the connections and parallels between the two games are one of the reasons why I enjoy both games, but sometimes, the difference in the creative staff (most notably, the director and some of the writers) shows.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy putting my brainrot here! (I still have a lot planned to come, btw, I can barely contain my own thoughts, lol.)

listen idk if it’s worth the discourse but like…y’all remember in 2014-2016ish when queer infighting on this site was at a new height? how “activism” was bullying asexuals and aromantics and “weird” genders and neopronouns (well, except the “acceptable” ones)? how respectability politics turned into a reason to tell kids to kill themselves, or that being raped would fix them, or that they were straight/“basically” straight and therefore unwelcome, how “the A stands for Ally” was a preferred position to including aroaces in the LGBT umbrella…i could continue, but the trauma our own community inflicted on its own members isnt the point.
i think we act as though that era of purging our community of unwanted members under the guise of “activism” tapered off and was relegated to extreme corners of the internet. however…tumblr’s leftist politics don’t seem that different to me? the posts i see are reactionary, with little willingness to accept that even overtly bad things are complicated. they’re excuses to be angry and to have that anger fueled and validated because so many of us are angry and feel powerless, and posting feels like doing something; it’s “activism” as “spreading awareness” but…i don’t think it’s productive?
so many of the posts i see spouting leftist theory buzzwords are just…repackaged purity culture and respectability politics and are so far removed from the way the real world operates as to be useless except as ragebait.
it’s not only morally wrong to encourage imperfect allyship, it’s a symptom of gaslighting from said potential ally. anyone with a lukewarm opinion on queers is just as bad as the fascist who wants us dead. children refusing to cut their parents off because of their queerphobia and conservative beliefs are blinded by attachment to an abuser. “he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit” is dying out; if your dad is conservative but working on your pronouns and slowly working on your friends’ pronouns but he still thinks Reaganomics will save us all, he wants you dead actually and you should cut 👏🏼 him 👏🏼 out👏🏼 !!
everything that happens online is obviously 100% reflected in real life, so you can’t write or draw or even think that; did you know op of this fandom gifset is a terf, aren’t you going to delete it, aren’t you scrupulously checking yourself, it’s your job to manage who sees every single user’s content btw, and if you dont ur probably a terf or at least as bad as them.
idk guys. is this not what conservative echochambers also sound like? their radicalism is morally reprehensible, ours is pure and good and necessary, right? right? because Evil and Good are the only two categories and everything fits neatly into each, right? “the reading comprehension on this site is piss poor” as a badge of honor is funny haha but when conservatives get facebook brainrot that’s a symptom of conservatism and not something we could ever fall victim to ourselves…right?
god, im so tired.
#RUB A FUCKING BRAIN CELL TOGETHER#fact checking is exhausting and MUST include not interrogating the beliefs in political posts#we have Got to start recognizing bias in ourselves and others#activism#politics#leftism#queer tag#queer#library stuff#(kinda)#jas jabbers#us politics#(i guess but this is an international phenomenon i believe)

i am at a point in i guess "grad school" where i feel like i shouldn't really be spending that much time doing things that are not "school" if i am not to fall behind which is ofc why i am:
learning to read&write armenian! :3 v. excited about this really
thinking about how Negative Space created an itch that it did not scratch, and therefore i think i will go ahead and check out the first of the George Miles cycle. and maybe go reread Drawing Blood which, the more i think about it, is pretty similar to Negative Space in themes and content (re:the dead, sexuality, feeling fucked up, wanting to kill people) but a lot more sympathetic to self harm which, for me, goes a long way. also it had a LOT more gay sex
btw if anyone ever does read drawing blood, please talk to me about it even if you hated it aslkfj like i would love to talk about how it even if its about how it sucks and/or is boring.
keep adding more writing obligations as old ones fall off alskdjf
rewatching succession (boringest show thats long ever)

This is not just sad, this is *dangerous*
Being a teenager freed from the entire adult life shit like having to worry about where you gonna sleep and what you gonna eat next day and all that is the best time to explore yourself (that is still forming btw and this needs to be paid attention) and the world around you
It's not only okay to be horny as a teenager. It's okay to masturbate as a teenager (using toys is also legal). It's okay to have sex as a teenager (when it's safe an everyone involved is sane and consenting, typically another horny teenager). It's okay to experiment with sexuality and gender expression. It's okay to watch porn, read smut, draw tits in your math notebook. It is okay to discuss sex with your friends even!
There are basically two rules for teenage sexual exploration journey:
1) it should feel good / make you feel better
2) it shouldn't cause harm to anyone (including you)
That's it. It's that easy. If you gonna argue — you don't actually "care about children", you care for policing other people because you can
I'm saying this as someone who's been molested at 13yo. Trust me Im intimately familiar with the "dangers" you're thinking you're "shielding" kids from by pushing this puritanical mindset onto them. But hear me out:
If only I could talk freely about my sexuality I wouldn't feel like an adult man seducing me was my only chance to have a like minded friend
If only I could have had unrestricted access to porn I wouldve figured much earlier that sex is supposed to actually be fun and not something to endure like a medical procedure
If only I could discuss my worries and questions regarding my libido and sex life with any trusted adult except for my molester, I wouldn't ended up in a relationship with him that lasted longer than a decade. Because, yknow, I hope someone would've done something when I came asking for help? And not just shoo me with "you're too young to think about this"
I know it's really hard to believe, but teenagers are humans. And they are living their own lives and have their own free will. And they will continue to do so even when we're not around. This said, it comes pretty obvious that our mission as of adult is not to "protect them" but to help them develop the set of knowledge of skills necessary to keep them safe and happy.
Porn addiction does not exist. Maladaptive coping mechanisms that fail to satisfy emotional and physiological needs do exist tho. And as everything maladaptive they form in the situation when there's no conditions/help to develop well adjusted responses.
So STFU and leave the teenagers be teenagers. Give your son a couple spare condoms and a consent talk if you're so very concerned about his moral compass. Or maybe explain to your daughter what birth control is and how to reject a dude she's not into. Tell em about HIV and other stds. If you're feeling particularly invested in your child's safety — help them make it to the doctor's appointment when needed, be it an sti check or andro/gyn/whatever needed consultation. Be a trusted adult that they can ask for help
Teenager doesn't have to fight this terrible fight alone as we did, okay?
And if you don't have kids — fuck off entirely. It's not your fucking business how other kids are raised
kinda bums me out to see all these teenagers thinking they're porn addicts or hypersexual because they like to masturbate! @ all the teenagers who are worried about this: this anon masturbated basically daily from ages 12-26. it's fine and normal to be horny especially when you're a teenager.
it's soooo so so sad seeing fucking social media teach kids to armchair diagnose themselves as addicts if they enjoy reading smut or jacking off or even if they're just feeling horny, a profoundly typical feature of being a teenager that is indicative of nothing bad at all. like. good job everyone we did it, we repackaged the protestant fear of sex into pop psychology for gen z and gen alpha.
