Thinking about if all subnautica leviathans were humans in college for a little art exercise.

Please I can’t be the only one: Void chelicerate, ghost and shadow HAVE GOT to be alt/emo kids, and I BET YOU they would have actually named themselves void, ghost and shadow like little edgelords.

Also sea trader is a camping enthusiast.

#subnautica #subnautica au #subnautica leviathan #ghost leviathan #shadow leviathan #Void chelicerate #subnautica below zero #Au #video game fandom #Erm actually ghost is very nice and quiet but will blow up and get violent if you get all up in their personal space #shadow may be an incel #their mating behaviors mentioned in game make me feel they are #the male ones atleast #actually shadow leviathans are the only leviathans mentioned to have a sex in the game #so that means they’re all somewhere under the non binary umbrella if turned into humans #reaper probably bully’s people #Sea emperor is the principle #the architects are a chemistry/biology/physics/robotics professor #as you can see I have thought about this quite a lot during the exercise #I’ve already started and the designs are done but they ain’t got no hair or clothes yet so it’s a heavy WIP #I just hate doing character line ups.

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.

#mlp #sunset shimmer #twilight sparkle #twiset #the orbs are the glass balls sunset carries on her back btw its in her cast line up art #deep down sunset hates thea. she was named “twilight” by celestia. the time of day succeeding sunset. she was always her replacement #but at this point in the story sunset's also fallen for thea. so it's also a conflict of wills in sunset. love or hatred.#hence the “don't make me do this” language. she's rationalizing her hatred and violence as thea forcing her hand and getting in her way #when in reality she doesn't need to do any of this. it's her last stand and outburst to cling to a life of revenge that she's grown too #fond of. because she knows thea has the power to change that and disrupt her identity as a pathetic victim who fell from glory #and that's scary. thea's a very scary thing to sunset because suddenly sunset wants something and to be someone new.#she suddenly wants to change. to be better for someone else. and she never thought or believed that could be an option for her #anyways toxic yuri yayyy #my art #the grand galloping 20s #character design #i hope i got across the pained conflicted emotions in sunset's face tho i belabored over them these past 3 days #i hope a look of anger and dissonance and guilt and “oh god i don't really wanna hurt you please just obey me” while trying to intimidate #is readable. if so it's all in the eyebrows babey

btw what theon went through is what thousands upon thousands upon thousands of slaves still go through in essos. so, do you still feel pity for the slavers that were crucified? do you still pity the slavers killed when daenerys freed the unsullied?

i ask these questions, and yet i know that there are still many people who believe that the violence against the slavers wasn’t justified, or believe that it was simply “too much” or “not fair.” truly… what an insane hill to die on.

maybe these people should spare more empathy for the formerly enslaved instead of wasting time making up excuses (that are not supported by the text) for why the slave masters' deaths were somehow not justified 🫶

#you guys will not believe how many people try to argue in favor of the slave masters #and the other side almost always ends up saying something along the lines of:#‘what if the slavers were just secretly good and were trying to end slavery? dany never gave them a fair trial 😡’#like w h a t tf #it’s always annoying when people make up bs excuses to hate on dany by MAKING UP things that are NOT in the text !!#honestly how am i supposed to argue against what ifs #actually i can do it too: what if all the slavers were actually all psychopaths who enjoyed brutally destroying other human beings?#my ‘what if’ at least has some textual support #i honestly do not know why these people are reading the books if they just wish to change one of the most important characters storyline #asoiaf fandom critical #daenerys targaryen #daenerys appreciation #pro daenerys #anti sansa stans #cause it’s always them at the scene of the crime 😭#poor sansa you’d hate ur stans they’re nasty manipulative liars (not all just to be clear)#formally enslaved includes dany btw #i honestly think that there is something wrong with people who make excuses for fictional slave masters

imo karlach’s soul coin usage seems like it should have been a little more significant than it was.

she only ever really stops to consider the magnitude of burning through a person’s soul for power during an origin playthrough—otherwise she rationalizes to the player that they’re doomed anyway, and if using them gives her an edge in combat, why not use them for good instead of leaving them to be used by evil? the dialogue with lann tarv in act 2, where he tells the story of each soul he's handing over to her, tries to humanize each soul coin, and still she doesn’t really budge and disapproves pretty heavily if she's told no in regards to using them.

it just seems like something that could have caused some kind of conflict between her and wyll, given he sold his soul to a devil in dire circumstances and takes issue with the player for sleeping with mizora, because she 1) is mizora, and 2) similarly expends tormented souls during her romance scene, even if for a different purpose. but it just... never really comes up?

i love karlach. but that seems like it should have gone Somewhere, from a writing standpoint? karlach values wyll as a person but is willing to use currency forged from souls like his for the sake of a temporary power up. she knows the soul is consumed when she uses them. that whole exchange with lann tarv is there to emphasize that every soul coin she destroys was a person once. but it all kind of loses narrative purpose if this combination of factors doesn't mean anything? karlach doesn't change at all in her willingness to use soul coins, no matter what the player says or how much she cares for wyll.

idk. missed opportunity that wyll doesn't have any dialogue about this, of all things.

#destroying souls is otherwise unambiguously portrayed as A Pretty Bad Thing To Do in bg3. so it just seems weird to go #yeah using this destroys a soul but it makes me stronger and it feels GREAT!#and stick to that no matter what without really questioning it much #ethel's vicious mockery line about her selling every soul but her own just doesn't hit right if it flat out doesn't. matter at all.#plus. idk. something something soul coins apparently are difficult for non-evil characters to even have in their possession #so using them and fully destroying the souls within seems kind of. idk. significant from a character standpoint #disclaimer: not character hate obvi. i love karlach and her relationship with wyll is very good.#but idk. conflict is interesting! and that seems like somewhere it should have happened if you have both in the party #karlach sans wyll might never question using soul coins but karlach with wyll probably should have?#in the same way wyll's character changes somewhat whether he chooses to kill karlach or spare her #as it stands this is like how using the tadpoles makes a grand total of one roll in the game harder. there's no bite. no consequence. idk #not every character has to change to be good but idk. idk!#it all seems set up to make her reconsider at SOME point #and that she just doesn’t is in itself a pretty significant moral compromise on her part #that is just not. recognized or discussed basically ever #karlach #karlach cliffgate #bg3 #baldur’s gate 3

so uh i just drew some random modern!AU (university AU maybe) Clerval and Frankenstein design???

(i hate myself so i did it in acrylic yeah, better click on pic for slightly better quality)

#just saw a guy on the bus wearing hoodie with the lightening print and i was like YEAH I NEED MODERN VICTOR TO WEAR THIS ONE #made Clerval wearing orange because it's my favourite colour!!! favourite colour for my favourite boy!!#they both are horror movies fans but while Clerval decided that he should dress like a slasher character from the 80s #Victor is just looking like he is haunted by the horrors lmao #Clerval is doing English literature major (of course) and Victor is doing bioengineering major (but he is so close to dumping it lol)#instead of bracelets Clerval wears hair ties to give to Victor when he needs to tie up his hair during an experiment #he wears a lot of them because Victor constantly loses and never returns them lmao #also see these ugly black&white pins on Clerval's bag? these should have been pins with Ghostface and Pinhead #yeah this dot with lines is Pinhead :)#frankenstein #victor frankenstein #henry clerval #clervalstein #gothic literature #gothic lit art #frankenstein fanart #i will never draw shoes normally naaaahhhh #also i hate to draw with acrylic on formats bigger than regular sketchbook because it's impossible to make a normal quality photo :(#frankenstein modern au

Last Line Challenge

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

Thanks for bullying me into occasionally drawing something for myself as well @insertmeaningfulusername ❤️ (even if just so that I can answer your tags XD)

The old man has way too many lines now. More news at definitely-not-8.

Tagging (show off what you’re working on 👀): @ominouspuff @razzbberry @frostbitebakery @cacodaemonia @cocotter @traumschwinge @nicolabarth @shortmage @mythosaur34667 @nautilicious

#my art #last line challenge #Wip #sketch #obi wan kenobi #hades au #so I’ve taken a long hard look at some of the character illustrations from the game #and I had to come to the realization that there are both MORE and LESS lines in a character than what I managed to mimic #also I went a little too rigid and or stiff with my lineart #like there are too many detail and too heavy lines which should be better illustrated through colour and shading #anyways I was trying to loosen up here #even though I went a lot more heavy on the black with Obi wan and his robe #I will erase quite a few lines from his face like I did with Anakin once I get to the shading #I just hate doing the flat colours so much

medic tf2 doodles?!?!?? in this economy!???!?!? (art from yesterday)

most gentle and sweet middle aged german man in the whole entire world smile vs planning to swap all of your organs with a series of interconnected frogs smile

a doodle i did of Medic and Archimedes.... he looks too round in this drawing, not smug and evil enough..... also Mitzi from the RAE appearance :D

i LOVE the voicelines Medic has with Haunted Archimedes, he's not disturbed or even slightly put off by the fact that his zombified dove is 1. talking and 2. has a violent and constant craving for brains. he's just like. being a slightly irritated pet owner about it. he's just like "ugh yes archimedes vants all zhe brains doesn't he. now shut up". also i think this is the most on-model medic drawing i've ever done wtf

#tf2 #team fortress 2 #tf2 medic #medic tf2 #archimedes tf2 #mitzi mozzarella #doodles #sketches #sketch #also um. please no thirst comments in the tags. /srs #i feel incredibly uncomfortable with comments like that and i don't want those things being said about my art #and i feel like it might happen here so like. please don't do that thanks 👍#man i love drawing medic. he's actually so fun to draw and i love giving him the most insane expressions ever #he has so many sharp angles it's so fun!!!#i also really like the second opinion voice lines. he's not even frightened. he just has an annoying roommate sewn to his face #aahh this is why i love medic #i have a cold right now so i can't think of any other tags to put on this post........#might post some more barry stuff later. i drew a pretty cursed one yesterday heehoo #i want to post some of my really old tf2 art from like 2018 #and maybe some SUPER old tf2 stuff from a decade ago if i can find the notebook i drew it in #back when i used to draw everything with a pen and no guidelines 💀#i'm pretty sure i still have it! it's not something i would throw away at all #it's probably hidden deep in my closet with my other old art stuff #i'd like to share my super old unhinged comics with a bunch of characters from various properties some day #i remember making a comic where all my favourite tf2 and mlp characters teamed up to stop peg from peg + cat from taking over the world #because i really didn't like the show as a kid. i thought peg's voice was annoying and it was a show about math. and i hate math #it's not even a bad show... it's really cute actually..... why did i hate it so much #i was peg + cat's biggest hater. if p+c had a million haters i was one of them. if it had 1 hater that was me. if it had 0 then i grew up #anyway. ignore all those tags i went on a ramble loolll #i forgot this post is about my medic drawings... yeah i really like these drawings and i love drawing medic <3

thinking about how akio sees his younger self in utena and wondering if there's any fondness there. doesn't change the horror of what he does to her obviously but i do wonder

#akio and utena #m #long ramble in the tags sorry:#the thing about akio is that he's so evil bit he's also so human #he has feelings. i just don't know what they are (if anything) toward his victims #he loves anthy at the very least i'm sure of that. even if he hates her too. just like she loves and hates him. the lines are blurry.#and i just. i have to wonder whether any of that extends to utena at all. we know anthy at times feels similarly about utena and dios #(and akio by extension.) the simultanious love and resentment. so it's not too unlikely i think.#like. even though he never had anything but bad intentions in getting close to her #i'm not sure it's possible to do everything he did and feel nothing #not that he has any meaningful amount of guilt or remorse for it. i don't think that.#and i obviously don't think he “loved” her in any of the ways she might have thought he did #but did he not care at all? did he not feel any kind of fondness or sympathy or just. idk. pity? for her?#whatever the case it wasn't enough to reconsider having her killed so you know. how much does that actually matter anyway #idk. i think about it a lot. how abusers are rarely entirely indifferent toward their victims #the role he's playing in her life is so fucked up but it IS a role he's playing and i wonder how much he you know... internalizes it?#how much does he believe the illusion of family that he invites her into? because akio DOES often buy into his own illusions.#(similarly i think it's possible that akio is fond of touga too. their mentor-protégé relationship is horrible and abusive #but that doesn't make it less real. you know? maybe real is the wrong word.)#when he talks in episode 25 about wanting utena and anthy closer that's obviously so he can continue to groom her #but is there something genuine there too? i don't know.#again. it obviously does not make anything he does better or even different. but it is interesting to think about to me.#on the other side of that coin does seeing his own past youth and naivete and desire to do good that he (maybe) once had #reflected back at him through her mean anything?#is there resentment there? that she is what he couldn't be? or more likely he just thinks that idealism is stupid.#either way it's something he wants to take from her. anyway ramble over.#i talk a lot about utena's feelings toward akio (familial vs romantic love and the way the two are intertwined in fucked up ways)#but not much the other way around. probably because utena is actually a sympathetic character whose feelings the show very clearly #wants you to analyze and think about.#which is... less true for akio i think. though he's still a complex character with complex motives. he's just harder to get a grasp on.

kripke's just jealous i put homelander in a loving healthy relationship with my trans man oc and can't cope

#sehtoast rambles #homelander #the boys spoilers #homelander x oc #i'm sorry you can't convince me this man believes half the shit he says to his base. demos. and politicians he's trying to sway #that 'transgender illegals' line shit was clearly a half grab in the way that works best on the mindless right wingers he usually appeals t #when it blew up in his face bc it's just bait. he didn't know what to do. bc he barely has the conviction to espouse that shit anyway #same as the fuckin nonbinary line he did in the early eps #like first of all you can't convince me he has the wherewithal to actually know what those terms mean beyond being zingers to rile people u #second. i think kripke just has a hard on for reminding his marginalized viewers that people hate them irl #and continues jerking himself off by thinking he's super clever w the ham fisted trump allegories that are just.... not even good #the only character that says this shit that i actually believe they believe their shit even partially is firecracker #and don't even get me started on how i feel about her ass #i'll probably add more ranting in the tags here soon #idfk

ugh. some thoughts.

really been trying to find the joy in drawing/writing again and honestly it's been such a challenge. friends have told me it's most likely depression that's making it hard to feel motivated and tbh they're probably right.

hoping to get back into being creative in the way I Want to be at some point tho. I miss it. there's still so much with my stories and characters that I haven't been able to share or explain and I wish I knew how without it feeling like this daunting, impossible task.

I don't know when I'll get around to actually sharing art again (or writing, if ever). was hoping that I'd manage to get some of my mental and physical issues in check recently for just long enough to get back into the swing of being creative, but that hasn't seemed to work. everything feels bad, both artistically and physically. I'm struggling to keep up with the frantic pace at which my brain comes up with story concepts and intriguing character interactions, even tho everything in me wishes I could turn it into tangible artistic expression so I can get it out of my head and share it. it used to be easy. I don't know why it's not now.

I'm just . tired, I guess.

#spectre says #text post #negative #vent post #delete later #sorry #i probably shouldn't post this idk #tbh i know i've said this a million times but. even if i'm struggling to draw or whatever #i'm still open for asks. i want so badly to talk about my characters and the things i've been unable to explain through art #but i can't get my own thoughts together enough to know where to start with that in like. just a random post #and asks would be a great way for me to actually focus on one concept at a time based on whatever you guys are curious about #but i hate sounding like i'm begging for attention/interaction i just. genuinely don't know if anyone is interested otherwise #and if you guys do want to know more you HAVE to tell me directly #because vague forms of engagement are difficult for me to comprehend or read between the lines of #i can't read minds obviously ><;;#i know ask culture has changed a lot over the years tho and a lot of ppl don't like sending them out of being shy or whatever #which i understand #it's kind of an awkward form of engagement that no other site really has #so no pressure i'm just letting you know that I won't know if any of you guys are interested in learning more about my stuff #if i'm not told directly is all #anyway. tangent aside #its just been rough mentally my dudes. hopefully things clear up at some point and i won't feel so dead all the time #and actually have the mental clarity to continue drawing/writing like i used to again;;; God willing;;

I'm on episode 5 of the Fallout show; NO WHAT THE HELL I LITERALLY THOUGHT TO MYSELF "MAN I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE THIS SHOW" AND THEN THEY JUST REMOVE THE NCR FROM CANNON. WHY. THAT'S SUCH A FRUSTRATING CHOICE

also STOP PLAYING ON THE NOSE MUSIC I CAN UNDERSTAND THE PLOT WE DON'T NEED CONSTANT 50S MUSIC

#fallout 1 #fallout #fallout 2 #fallout new vegas #fallout meta #fallout show #fallout tv show #fallout prime #fallout tv series #fallout tv spoilers #fallout amazon #fallout series #THEY FUCKED IT. “PEOPLE DIDN'T AGREE ON HOW THE WORLD SHOULD BE IMPROVED IS NOT ENOUGH”#I feel like I know this is completely irrational to be upset over. It's literally fiction. DOES not matter #the Tv-show can do what it likes #BUT IT FUCKING SMARTS to do a twist like that. Hope they at least expand more on it??#I'm not even against an “NCR falls apart” or whatever #I think you could do that interestingly #but it was like a whole country #I was thinking this was maybe some different continuity then the games. Honestly would've preferred that.#they could've just had it in California without bringing up the NCR. That's fine. But this such a boring end to that continuity.#especially when you compare it to New Vegas. The line “people don't agree when trying to make the world better” is such a nothing line #ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED to New Vegas #which actually engages with the ideas and theme of history repeating beyond that surface level #I hate being upset with media #it's a pretty good character beat for Lucy #and I think this is the first time Maximus becomes likable as a character for me #but maaaaan that's a dumb twist

Call me jaded bitter and black but I’ll never care about the nuances of the police fill in on tv. Like we already have to deal with the ‘my dad is a cop :(‘ or ‘my broke brother joined the military’ irl why the fuck am I wasting my brain power on Caitlyn or vi. Like we know materialistically the authority of being a cop can get u what u want faster and that emotionally u either need strict routine with an outlet for ur violence or ur so used to it that u have to be a cop. I still fucking hate u tho like idc about how sad u are about being privileged and I said cop fill in but it’s really every kind of that character on tv like Zuko esque sorry I genuinely have less empathy for you than I do for other people idc

#vis a bit eh #but sorry idgaf about Caitlyn on principal of her being an enforcer #vi can be gay w/ anybody else #do I hate how silco is woobified as a skinny white man especially in comparison to sevika #who arguably has Better morals - if better is defined by not directly doing the MOST heinous shit?#yeah #do I hate how yt ppl are yt ppling for Caitvi and jinx in order to call them revolutionaries or what zaun needs like ekkos not right there?#like his obstacles haven’t been THEM the whole time?#them as in the systems they work to maintain now?#YES #idk shit about season 2 this ain’t about that #if I’m wrong whoops #but yeah I hate that ekko got so little screen time but what little we see of him is taken and jammed into the other characters by fandom #jinx is not a communist bro she’s a white girl who’s mad and gets to break shit for a cause peddled to her by a white man who’s only issue #is his own position in life and fuck everyone else unless it’s to keep them in line and loyal #does she have the potential?#eh. whatever idc #but the whole she carried zaun on her back thing? mm #and it’s not even explored in a humans thirsting for revenge and violence and power fantasies in their idols as opposed to the tangible #change they could make at ground level #ie the idolization of jinx’s act of violence that stemmed from her own feelings of hurt towards her own personal situation which just so #happened to be tangled with the council #vs ppl saying the firelights stopping shimmer production does nothing or their own base is bad bc not everyone is invited. also double #standards. racially charged but we knew that #but yeah not it’s not even explored in that way it’s just genuine ‘the ppl love jinx bc she’s a hero!’ and ignoring ekko and his cause #entirely. do I think this worship could be the shove to rock bottom thatll eventually nudge her in the right direction? maybe idc #but it’s weird that nobody sees this as like weird. like ekkos about that action and has the principals to back it up #like he’s standing on business and jinx is waving a gun around to prove she’s not a naive weak kid anymore and that’s it

BREAKING NEWS: canon character banned from own series for being "too problematic" (by the same community that also thinks visibly disabled characters(and likely people in general) need to be censored or otherwise hidden because "some people think that's gross" which is a mixed signal at best. Do we care about their feelings or not)

#basically the moral of the story is wcue players fucking hate disabled people but they won't admit it #and also eventually your “activism” wraps back around into being harm if you keep going long enough #eventually any depiction at all becomes “potentially offensive to someone out there”#i generally try not to “slippery slope” things but they are basically already there in this case so i feel like i'm allowed to this time #wcue #roblox #reports channel #good lord #i'm going to die young #dislike “-kitty” users btw. not as aggravating as “exp” line breaks in bio S/H people #but close #one time me and my friend were hanging around #and someone walked up to my friend unprovoked and suggested he change his bio from “tom” to “hekitty”#because his character had pink on him and they insisted that it “fit better”#anyway that's not related i'm just being reminded of it #no i couldn't tell you why their name is offcenter either #i do know it's on purpose though and i hate it #sorry i have a lot to say about this one lmfao #remember this game is officially endorsed by the warrior cats team. Surely they cant possibly know what kind of shit goes on in there #if they did i think they'd shit their pants

hrgh every time I think I've come close to forgiving lance fucking parkin I skim the gallifrey chronicles. and then I remember the Horrors.

#listen bc when I read through and play around with AHistory I'm inclined to enjoy and respect his work as a curatative fan historian #but his actual prose writing #it. it beggars belief it truly does it's just atrocious #megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace #everyone in the EDA discord who thinks father time is the worst of it oh boy babes the worst is absolutely yet to come #like I get *why* they gave him the last book of the line because he does (mostly) know his lore extremely well #so it kind of makes sense that he'd be picked to wrap up all the myriad loose ends #and also he's well liked and afaik pretty personable unlike some fuckers I could name and didn't spend years burning bridges #but oh my god oh my god literally everything to do with Fitz and Trix is just. awful. terrible.#guy who absolutely does not understand or respect any of the three of that team TARDIS but especially Fitz #also The Thing With Sam #never happened fuck you lance #also given just how many asspats he gives himself over his command of the lore he fucking got Sam's middle name wrong?!#also it's soooo obvious how much he loves Anji because she's a Capitalist GirlbossTM #he really does not grasp her character development or personal arcs but he thinks he's killing it #like she *is* a Capitalist GirlbossTM but that's not all she is but he's not actually interested in her interiority at all #he just enjoys that she's a fiscal conservative #god the fact that trading futures is the literal very next book after Anachrophobia #one of the best books in the series that explicitly calls out Anji's pro-capitalism stance using time-war-for-profit played for utter horro #immediately followed by...almost the exact same premise but Zany RompTM #it's not that capitalists misusing time travel for profit is inherently bad it's just *these guys* who suck #no lesson is learned! then you fucking get to the fucking gallifrey chronicles and Fitz actually deciding that this very same scheme #'wasn't perhaps unethical' just because it's Trix and Anji doing it #like yeah sure Anji and Trix can have a little insider trading. as a treat. but that is literally the definition of unethical lol #the only reason time traveling to acquire stock tips isn't massively illegal is because it's not fucking real like??#of-fucking-course it's unethical you walnut #parkin you smug annoying self-obsessed lore-obsessed pregnancy-obsessed just barely-plausibly deniably not homophobic asshole #I'm avoiding even bringing up the actual beef with TGC because first of all everyone fucking knows but also it's just.#it's such a goddamn shit awful trainwreck #if parkin wasn't a Fitz-hating homophobic coward he would've ended the gallifrey chronicles the same way he ended the dying days. wink.
