What do you think is after death?
Do you think dolphins dream?
Does the future of AI frighten you?
What is the best scent in the world?
—-
Never thought if animals dream before - but I wanna say yes?
Ngl I know it’s bad but I’ve been trying to ignore the whole AI thing
I love apple scents (straight apple like ‘handpicked apples’ or ‘apple orchard’)
#don’t want to explain but I don’t want to talk about after death right now#I have a lot of thoughts about it and I just don’t wanna get into it right now tbh#I think about what animals THINK about a lot but I’ve never really thought if they dream#now I’m trying to think about how dolphins sleep#like#do they lay down?#or do they just float#I guess same with fish#bro I never really thought about how underwater animals sleep lmao#ignore me if I sound super dumb right now haha#I feel bad I try to keep up to date with what’s going on in the world around me#but lately I’ve been so focused on myself and my own problems#that I’ve been shutting out all of the worlds problems#I don’t even fully understand AI if I’m going to be completely honest with you guys#but when I have enough brain power I’ll look it up and research it more#I just don’t have the mental capacity for anything extra right now#might sound dumb but I just don’t#apple scents my beloved 💖💖💖#I love most fruity scented candles tbh#but apple scented things are by far my favorite#I’m picky though#I don’t like most apple combination things#specially apple cinnamon is not my thing#I remember accidentally buying an apple cinnamon candle when I thought it was just apple and I was so so so sad lol#idk why I just love the smell of fresh apples 🥰#especially on like a fall/chilly day? just hits the spot#thank you so much for the questions lovely!#ask#ask me shit#send me asks!!!!

not really a modern au but more like a weird future timeline thing where beach hermit maglor Hibernates™ all through the 2nd and 3rd ages & misses the last boats to Valinor.... thus resulting in him skulking about history until he ends up living among modern day humans haha?? the kicker is that he one day finds an abandoned baby thats all-too-suspiciously like a certain dead brother and becomes a single dad-younger brother-adopted guardian person...
i wrote a few pages of this back in 2022 but never really thought abt it further after i started posting less frequently hahaha.... heres just some feel good domestic sketches of this AU bc i miss drawing modern clothes 🤭 i have sooo many thoughts about it that i couldnt fit into these doodles !! its quite a lot of yapping so feel free to skip past the cut haha
assorted au thoughts:
i planned for maglor to eventually find all 6 of his brothers one by one through the power of Accidental Child Acquisition ✨ example: he'd spot a kid lurking around some woods near his home and eventually realise said wild child living amongst stray dogs is a bit too similar to celegorm
i just couldnt fit in the time to draw that this round... maybe next time!
though he's raising reincarnated-Maedhros, i think it makes more sense for him to give him a modern name and not explicitly call him Nelyo/Maitimo/Russandol just bc he'd not want to get his own hopes up or shove said identity onto the kid
(the occasional 'hey Nelyo' does slip out by accident from time to time however)
i think as Mae-the-kid grows up he will in time start to remember bits and pieces of his original identity? with the nicer familial things (like valinor, his brothers, feanor and nerdanel) first, and then the darker things (kinslayings, angband, war) once he's grown up that Maglor will struggle explaining or even helping him through
i promise this is a wholesome au 😭
side characters include a high-strung but good guy policeman named Officer Borden who's very suspicious of Maglor bc of all the random kids he keeps adopting.... and his younger brother Farren, who happens to be Maglor's scholarly coworker
as well as Maglor's next door neighbour Morgan, a witch-woman married to some guy named Hugh... she's got 3 kids who visit from time to time but from what Maglor's heard, the oldest son is followed by misfortune and has supposedly never met his youngest sister...?
credit to Ted Nasmith and Cartoon Network for some assets used in the doodles :D
#silmarillion#maglor#maedhros#silm#modern silmarillion#feanorians#look if the feanorians arent getting reembodied i think itd be neat if they could join Maglor back in the real world in some other way#im no biologist or evolutionist so pls take Mags' ear shrinking over the millennia with a grain of salt#i just think exceptions can be made since he'd be like. a billion years old and probably not of the same biological composition as us hahah#maglors coworkers thinks hes retro and fashionable on purpose but hes just been wearing some of his clothes for 40 odd years#after centuries of eating fish on a beach he discovered instant noodles and hasnt turned back since#can you guess who's who among the side characters? :D#noldor#silm art#silmarillion comic#sketch dump#sakasakart#the silmarillion#elves#modern au#maglors single dad arc#accidental baby acquisition

Done (heavy quotation marks) with monster Ody @evergreen292 ;)
tbh I couldn’t for the life of me pick a color palette I liked And Render it so I gave up on color. Enjoy the half assery.
Tbh I’ve just been call it Ithacan Naga, but it’s objectively it’s a mix of snake, owl/bird, and human. So 🤷.
Tbh the wings are supposed to be white/gray-brown, cause owls & Hermes, while his scales are supposed to be an oscillating scale from sea green-blue to purple-tinted gray. Uhm. Evidently that sorta didn’t happen but also did. So.
The purple/grayer scales are gonna be more around with the feathers and wings.
Those fin colors are. Too blue and too bright but I love the colors themselves so they’re staying for now.
Uhm. That’s it for now, ig. I’m sorta on a timer rn and I’m tired so <3
The writing bit with this is still in the works (😭)
#Odysseus#epic the musical#Ithacan naga au#guess that’s what we’re calling it#an Ithacan naga would deadass just be an aquatic naga#I think#the feathers and wings are cause he’s Zeus/Hermes’ kin & Athena blessed#tbh the main reason i wanted to color at all is cause I wanted easier differentiation between… everything. and actually draw the scales.#so snakes have this extra (?) bone that connects their skull & jaw which is what lets them extend it. so. ody gets that here.#resting/casual naga ody is like. 7ish ft? anything intimindation or just rising usually reaches 11-12 ft. his full length js 20 ft#naga eyes don’t have any eyelids. it looks very odd on a human (unsettling)#owl eyes don’t really have visible white scelcra#or however you spell it#nor do snakes#unsettling#maybe I’ll caption this later but hhhhh#he’s sorta supposed to be an olive sea snake and fish owl#but fuck colors rn#uhm cause he’s aquatic I suppose he does have to make up with Poseidon… uhm let’s say after everything Seidon picks up a fuss and Athena#argues back n everything and it causes a reallllly big fuss so Zeus (+ others) eventually work smth out that basically amounts to:#Don’t fuckin bother each other (intentionally)#also endgame for naga ody (he can change back and forth dw) is that he gets used to it. he doesn’t advertise it cause he’s sneaky like that#(and after he gets over the self loathing). uhmmm. yeah. It’s great cause NEREID PEN and SEA NAGA ODY#they can go on sea hunts together!!!!#ody CAN fly yes. same logic that lets Hermes fly with 2 small pairs of wings on his ankles and head.#he folds the wings when swimming and the fins fan out underwater. vice versa. his feathers are waterproof.#you can BARELY see the vauge shape of thighs/legs melting into the serpent part btw.#Ari’s art#my art#I’mma add onto this + actually type this out in a post later or smth

#this is my canon#part of me imagines that garu had this floatie and lent it to yakumo for the trip#does yakumo know how to swim? we don't know?? best to be safe! TAKE THIS LIFE PRESERVING MELON#he busted into the room while blade and oli were lending yakumo beachwear LOL#where did duckeito come from#had i not already settled into fisheito. duckeito would have been an excellent alias......#the day after these two braid each other's hair#they'll do that thing that the whales and dolphins do with pack hunting#but it'll be the villagers. lure them farther out from shore.. then CHOMP em#but not actually. because these two wouldn't hurt people. 🙄#so i have to imagine them doing the pack hunting techniques but..like...to actually...help someone?#maybe they'll see that same sad kid that umi saved#and the kid is like :( no fish means no dinner :( i'm so hungry :(#and THEN these two suckers will pack hunt and make lots of fish wash ashore for the kid#and the kid's like yeaay!! i get to eat today!! thank you blue merman and long merman!!!#and yakumo's gonna eventually work up the courage to ask umi#if he feels weird about dooming other fish to the dinner plate#and umi's like *shrug* circle of life and all that. also fish yokai vs fish are pretty different i guess#and yakumo's like *sweat* if you say so (he will hesitate to eat fish for the remainder of the trip)#nu carnival yakumo#nu carnival umi#mirage of scales

Broke out the perler beads today. Made an ace turtle for me and an aroace fish for a friend.
#My children#asexual#aroace#perler beads#There's this “inside” joke between me and my friend#That they're a fish#Because when we first met#We were sitting at the same table in class#And the table was fucking around with “what would be our place in the family”#I think I was the younger brother#And when it came to choose their place#We all decided that they would be the goldfish#Cause none of us really knew them#And now it's just become a part of their identity#Like how turtles became a part of mine#So I guess it's not really an inside joke#But the joke part is between us

"but how do you watch something accidentally with french subtitles?" you may ask, and i may tell you that it's simple, because i love english, english is fun and versatile and incredibly useful in this world, but listening to some dutch music recently reminded me how much consuming dutch art for a change feels like doing stretches for my brain (i don't really notice what i'm missing out on if i don't do it, but it feels SO good when i do), and that had me pondering once again how to incorporate some german into my diet in a natural way, because if dutch is my language, then german belongs to people i love, german is the one used to tell family stories, german is a language that feels like home but that i use so little it always takes a few days of just listening before i remember how to speak without feeling like an idiot, and so i thought to myself, well, i know bad buddy has a whole list of subtitle options, and perhaps i can pull off a really neat trick here and get my fill of german while also spending some time with thai (with which i am having a torrid love affair this year) through a show i know almost by heart at this point, because i can process the german fast enough to still be able to listen to what i'm hearing (the spoken thai), and then as a bonus, i'd get to sidestep english entirely for a few brief but glorious moments, which is a thing so rare it's almost unheard of, and that would just be a win-win-win. however! it turns out german is not one of the many, many languages offered on youtube as a subtitle option for bad buddy (which is of course fine because in a grand way, truly, why would it). and they do happen to have french, which i then of course had to click just for fun almost as a joke just to see it play for a minute or so and definitely not any longer than that, and as it turns out, on a practical is-this-doable-for-me level french in this context worked out way better than i thought it might, which is why i got sucked in immediately, easily fascinated as i am. but this is also a language that has me reading just slowly enough that it takes all my attention to have any hope at staying caught up with the speed of the dialogue, which amounts to a situation that is, you know, not making me feel much closer to my german grandmother (or making me feel very much at all for that matter, because on the whole i have a deeply impersonal relationship with french), but that IS very unexpectedly making me think fondly of my high school french teacher who once wrote under an assignment that he really hoped i'd choose to do something with languages. and this is probably not what he meant, but i suppose i am doing that, yes. both by choice and because i stumbled and tripped and now i've watched several episodes of a french subtitled thai show in an attempt to find german input because i was listening to dutch music.
#the other thing i'm doing with languages is going fuck. shit. goddammit. what's the word for starfish in dutch#stervis??? wtf no?? and then i limp over to google like a shot deer and go 🥺 ? help? and google kindly offers me the word zeester#and then i'm like huh. i know thai goes the english route (plaa dao! literally fish+star) and starfish vs. seastar is ALMOST the same thing#but it also crucially isn't. this thing is not a fish. that's wrong. it's a star of the sea! i think the dutch have got it right here#and then i go through a list of languages and start tallying which side of this debate i just made up they come down on#and this is an incredibly biased line up but you know what. zeester. seestern. étoile de mer. estrella de mar. stella marina.#i feel less confident in claiming things like морская звезда and søstjerne but as far as i can tell they're in this camp too#sorry to the english but you really ARE the odd one out here in europe. what are you DOING. we all agree this thing is not a fish#< and crucially i go through all of this and THEN i end up on the english wikipedia page for starfish#which opens with the words (imagine a long pause here for dramatic effect)...... 'Starfish or sea stars'#sea stars!! i've never heard that used but hey. i guess all hope is not lost for you english.#she's a little confused but she's got the sea star#*

Hi! Your art is so lovely! How about Tianlang-jun & Luo Binghe?
Thank you!!! <3
Sometimes Tianlang-Jun comes over and hangs out with Luo Binghe, I don’t think they talk much 😭
#whats a good father and son activity? fishing i guess lmao#i wonder if they ever talked again after everything#lots to unpack between these two but at the same times they’re just strangers with a blood relation#tianlang jun#luo binghe#svsss#svsss spoilers#svsss fanart#i feel like maybe luo binghe would be interested in knowing about his biological mother

I'm starting Mission to Zyxx Season 5 now, and I have feelings about that.
First, it generally scares me when people hype anything up at all because there is no guarantee that anyone values the exact same thing I do to the same degree. Even if I trust the creators of a thing to value something and try to do right by it, that doesn't always necessarily mean it will be successful, especially if that involves doing something wildly different than what made it good in the first place (I have been burned this way before). I guess I'm just hoping they continue the format of goofy improv shenanigans for the majority of it with something more planned and emotional in the finale if they want, like they've been doing all along. I'd think they would, and I've heard nothing bad about the ending, but I guess it still makes me nervous because I'm so close to the end and I want it so badly to stick the landing. I'm setting my expectations on the floor so I can be surprised instead of disappointed, but honestly, I don't need it to be better, I just need it to be on par with the rest.
Second, and more briefly, I'm happy it's (hopefully) ending before it has a chance to decline. I am so on board with that philosophy. But on the other hand, finishing a thing that I really, really like and knowing there's not another one out there gives me a special kind of heartache. Like, I know there will be other good media, and stuff that's good and unique in other ways, but I know for a fact that there are no other podcasts out there that have the same mix of a balance of off-the-wall improv and structured narrative, quality comedy, fantastical sci-fi setting and loveable characters, and high quality production. There are other things out there with many of those qualities, but nothing that checks every one of those boxes. It's a lightning-in-a-bottle thing that very much feels like the right people had to be in the right place at the right time to do it. Attempts to do it again would feel hollow because it had to be born out of necessity and passion and the talents of the people involved, so if you switch out the people it loses the reasons it's great, and if the same people tried to do it again it'd feel tired. That makes me so, so grateful it exists, but also so, so sad that it doesn't, and I'm 80% of the way done. When it's over, it's over.
Anyway. Now that that's all out there, I'm just gonna finish listening and have fun. Wish me luck.
#pickle pontificates#mission to zyxx#if you freaking flip on episode 1 after reading this and are like. wow. they're talking a lot about butts and ejecting people into space.#what is pickle on about#well. sue me i guess. idk#I have a lot of feelings about this as a general topic so this is moreso just the most recent thing that's touched on it for me#okay so time for essay 2 in the tags#1. I don't really talk about TAZ on here but it's something I carry with me whenever I think about this kind of thing#I think that in the same vein as MTZ it started off very goofy and directionless and then gave me more emotions than I thought it would#and it's not perfect but balance was a cultural landmark in a lot of ways#i enjoyed amnesty but it didn't have the same spark. what drew me to balance was all the goofy improvisation#and the fact that it was never serious until it was#amnesty (although i loved the setting/concept and enjoyed the characters) crossed the line into taking things more seriously#and while that's not a bad thing in and of itself the thing i enjoy about the mcelroys is when they're goofing around#that's what they're good at and it's why i like them#subsequent arcs suffered the same thing to varying degrees#i slogged through most of graduation for some reason and although ethersea was better i didn't finish it#taz dracula was the first time i've felt that same kind of fun while listening since balance#and I really think it was because they were just getting silly with it. sure yeah elizabeth the sports druid. lady godwin turns into a hors#whatever!#their dad gets to follow through on his ideas and do whatever crazy but kinda logical thing he comes up with#but i guess the point is that to me taz feels very lightning in a bottle. balance is what it's capable of being but is not the default#all the other right ingredients had to be in the soup#2. noragami. ohh noragami.#you wormed your way deep into my heart and then flopped out of it like a messy slimy dead fish#and i can't even be upset about it because the creators sounded so tired and unhappy with the way it ended#but there was so much potential. so many themes that DID hit hard throughout the story and could've knocked a man out cold#had they come back at the end#and they could have right up until so very close!!! it wasn't unsalvageable#in fact it still isn't. you'd hardly have to revise anything. you'd just have to write a different ending

Luca Au Sun and Moon are AFAB confirmed?! I wasn't sure about this, but I had a feeling.
Moon and sun "bodies are weird" - I felt that
Yep yep! I think most of my human sun and moons in various aus are afab
There is something very gender about mermaids ppfpft
Hopefully I'll be able to go more in depth with it in the fic but I suppose we will see
#also yes handshakes you bodies are weird#luca au#felt a little nervous drawing attention to it cause unsure what people will think#but its important to me#and also this is my most self indulgent au#so im gonna just do what I want#I guess technically only sun is afab tho?#like moon didn’t get assigned anything#though he was called by he/him pronouns when first interacting with humans#they have the same biology tho#wait actually#moon is afab#assigned fish at birth#ba dum tsh

Went to the seaside for my health. Was revived by the sensation of the waves slapping into me, as well as communing with my fellow creatures. Which included some large fish who came in and out with each wave to suck up shellfish, and dolphins (who were a bit too far out to get a good pic of).
#a fellow gay's reaction to seeing the big fish among us#was very amusing#and consisted of him freaking out#and retreating upon seeing said fish#I guess most people aren't used to being near actual wild creatures#but I was extremely excited about them#and I loved that people screamed “omg dolphins”#the same way I yelled “fishes!” every time I saw one

You're getting too close, nong. What are you doing?
LATER:
#i will knock you#i will knock you the series#tar atiwat#bom thanawat#noeythi#iwkyedit#thai bl#thai drama#bl drama#bl series#my edits.#i chose to use ai instead of jerk#i mean it basically means the same thing lmao#but it's also used casually between friends of the same age group#which i guess is how noey (thankfully) misunderstood the comparison to the fish (with the big thing on its head)#so yeah OF COURSE thi must want to secretly look/be like noey right? 🤣

I think making sweeping generalizations of specific traits being considered "ugly" is not great the same way i think its rude and unnecessary to call others ugly, i also think its worthwhile to acknowledge that certain traits ARE considered "Ugly" due to societal beauty standards, that doesn't make them ACTUALLY ugly, bc beauty is subjective anyway, and can be found Anywhere, and even someone who seems to tick every single box of societal beauty Ideals will almost certainly have at least one trait or feature about their appearance that they are insecure about or feel is "ugly", bc even within the constraints of conventional attractiveness theres subjectivity
also this fish was so fucking Ugly and i adored it so much. i miss him.
he was also gorgeous.
#toy txt post#toy pic post#he passed in like. man. i want to say 2019? his name was Gus. he was a pink kissing gourami#the thing about albino fish is that they always look a little bit sickly and concerning. his head always seemed a little big for his body#like he was really old. when i got him he looked so bad cos he had wounds all over him from dads fish that got infected and the dude#straight up looked like a zombie. every day id wake up and prepare myself to find him dead. but he recovered and never went back in w the#fish that injured him. his face was hideous. he looked pale and sickly. his head was a little too big like he was super old#his scales were iridescent and pretty and shimmery. he had no concept of giving a shit about me finding him beautiful or not. not even on#his mind. simply not something he would think about. now. im sure he'd have some sort of beauty standard to hold himself to for mating if#that had been an option for him. but it wouldnt be the same. idk. i just. i love the idea. of animals that are not traditionally cute or#beautiful or charismatic and the fact that they do not give a single fucking shit what we think of the way they look. BOTH ways. a#a butterfly does not give a single thought tohow beautiful or inspiring you find the colors of its wings. the wolf fish does not care that#humans find it hideous and terrifying. it just looks the way that it does. its fine. its vibing. it just wants to live and survive and get#enough food. yes beauty is everywhere but so is ugly. and there is beauty in ugly. to me. there is beauty in not even thinking about#standards to be conformed to or not. the beauty is irrelevant. its not For You. it doesnt Matter. its just Existing. if you like how it#looks while it exists? great! good for you. if you dont? okay cry about it i guess. this ugly ass fish doesnt give a shit if humans find it#beautiful or not. he was just going to continue to use his lips covered in teeth to scrape biofilm and algae off the surface of rocks and#driftwood and play in the current of the filter.#let girls be ugly the way marine iguanas dont give a shit if humans find them pretty cos theyre just sunning themselves and eating seaweed#off rocks. all humans are beautiful. all humans are ugly. it doesnt matter. let us go dive into the ocean and scrape seaweed off the rocks#and then bask in the sun on a warm rock and not fucking worry about that#anyway also Yes ive seen uglier fish than him.i know they exist. but he was also special cos he was My Fish u see

I can't believe I'm blocking the fwhimmy tag. Like I love the ship but only in a way that I ship it.
And only in a way how I interpret Count fWhip because only I trully understand his character and nobody understands him like I do /j /hj
But for real, I might unblock it one day. But for now the common portrayal is pretty meh to me.
#bread.txt#also I really hate how this fanbase portrays Jimmy if that makes sense??#like it rubs me the wrong way like giving his character POC features#when he's played by one on the whitest man I've ever seen#and not only is he the whitest man I've seen but he's literally cis-het-allo-white#not that there's anything wrong with being that#there's literally nothing wrong or problematic with him#but why assign him these themes features or traits in fanwork and fanfiction#especially when Sausage is literally latino#okay I'm ranting now#but also I actually hate how this fambase makes him too badass when his charaters is a literal wet cat#wet fish I guess#not that it's common especially in contrast to lizzie#but it's so apparent in fwhimmy fanart and fics#like yeah I get it but I sometimes wonder if we watched the same series#let him be a pathetic man who's in a complicated relationship with his enemies#whether all 4-5 of them one to kill eachother or kiss eachother#them being the disaster polycule in my head (fwhip scott sausage jimmy and pix)
