once you learn enough about evolutionary biology you start seeing ghosts everywhere
#everything alive carries within it the traces of its ancestors' niches#and also some niches are just eerily *empty* where they were once full#and im not talking like “the megafauna here got eradicated by human intervention and hunting and habitat loss”#i mean it in the “there hasn't been a proper aerial macropredator since the azadrchids went extinct 65 million years ago”-sense#which is something you cannot unthink or unsee#especially in island ecosystems

Can I study and use your art style because it is very beautiful and I tried drawing with it and it seemed to be much more enjoyable than any other art style I have tried?
dude do whatever you want. be free
#btw i dont mean to be aggresive or anything#it just bothers me how so many people get worried abt this kinda stuff nowadays#no one owns a “style” n i find it crazy how some artists pretend to..#i can understand to get uncomfortable if art gets like#traced#but getting inspired is the most natural thing ever and everyone does it

One interesting part of the discourse surrounding family-coding relationships in media is when people who are against it raise the argument that two characters ‘can’t be sibling-coded because their relationship is more complicated than that.’ As if siblings relationships by nature were an uncomplicated thing
#this post is specifically about Carmy and Richie from The Bear#and yes I know that when people say ‘more complicated’ what they tend to mean is ‘more romantic and/or sexual’#but just be honest with yourself and say that then#yes I also know that there’s a preponderance of fic that uses familial classifications to water down character interactions#but frankly so does a lot of shipping discourse so I don’t see the point in throwing stones there#the point is that all relationships are complicated as soon as you scratch past the surface#and it’s weird of discourse to pretend that familial-coding by nature removes that#when it’s not any relationship coding that removes it; it’s the fans who do that#for a wide spectrum of reasons#and that’s not a phenomenon that can be traced to any one attachment style

There was something heartbreaking in the way she was gazing at him, as if she might die if he didn’t kiss her. Not from heartbreak, not from embarrassment—it was almost as if she needed him for nourishment, to feed her soul, to fill her heart.

UH, GUYS??
SINCE WHEN WERE THOSE EYES THERE???
I swear those weren’t there before. Or have they been? How long ago was Shadow Milk cookie planned?
There’s also little eye emblems on the bookcases in pure vanilla’s room
Also, one of Shadow Milk’s eyes is in the shadow of Pure Vanilla’s soul jam.
Maybe I’m delusional, BUT, I think this is hinting at shadow milk taking over pure vanilla. Cuz the eye is inside of pure vanilla’s soul jam and the soul jam reflection is inside a sunflower pattern; much like PV’s staff
#I love small details like this#just how long was shadow milk cookie planned?#I mean that guy has traces EVERYWHERE#From the blueberry yogurt academy to pure vanilla’s healing spell.#rambles#crk theory#shadow milk cookie#pure vanilla cookie#cookie run kingdom#cookie run

i'm thinking about the guards outside aventurine's room in the reverie. stuck working a boring security job on THE planet of festivities, stationed outside a room in boring reality where someone's literally just sleeping all day. absolutely jackshit to do.
but there's no way aventurine would trust just any old grunt to guard him when he's that vulnerable; they had to have been hand-picked, personally vetted over years of working for him. it's no small feat to become someone aventurine trusts not to stab him in the back, even with the built-in insurance that if you shank your boss, he can't sign your paychecks anymore.
so they were familiar enough with him to know how he works, i.e., pulling off insane stunts and doing it solo. i have to think they're the kind of people who would've wanted to join him - not because they're sore about not getting to see the dream, but because they want to guard him IN the dream. you have a whole team of us, boss! put us to work!
and he keeps insisting no, he has to do it alone. it's too risky.
what could notorious gambler aventurine possibly find "too risky?" it's not that he thinks they'll slow him down or get in his way; it's not that he just prefers working alone or hates relying on others. that's what other people, in other departments, might think.
but these guys know: he does these missions solo because he doesn't want to risk their lives - that's the unacceptable risk to him.
(they also know not to ever say so aloud, because said notorious gambler has a reputation to maintain, and "worries about his employees' wellbeing" does not fit the image.)
#alright it's finished percolating#i realize the conclusion isn't like. saying anything new. but he has to have SOME employees he can trust (inasmuch as he trusts anyone)#and i want to know what they're like. aventurine's top men. the rare few in the company who don't hate his guts#idt he's the kind of boss u could mouth off to but could they say “director this plan sounds nuts you really don't have to go it alone”#obvs he'd never take that particular advice lol but i like to think he appreciates the candor of a (select) few over a bunch of yes-men#u gotta have a henchman or two who's not just a simp. it's like trace minerals in ur diet. zinc and savvy henchmen#hsr#hsr meta#aventurine#also i bet these guys felt like absolute SHIT when they found out what happened to him in the dream wrt nihility & sunday#like what do u MEAN u didn't know u wouldn't die. what do u mean u got branded with a harmony timebomb that would just up and kill u

maybe this is just because it feels like a metaphor for how tlovm uses vex in general (and i could write an essay about it and have and will again) but something that i both understand tlovm choosing to do and deeply hate as a choice they made is vex no longer being the one to break thordak’s crystal even though vax was still the one to kill him. especially since the show was very explicit about thordak being responsible for killing the twins’ mother and also set it up as a sort of avenging of percy, it felt tonally weird to literally just have vex hanging out in the background for both the crystal breaking and him being killed. it’s fine (deeply upset voice) i understand that adjustments to pike’s vestige made this make sense for the plot but. glad to have vex continue to be a witness in tlovm moments that in the campaign her agency in were delicious character moments. it’s fine.
#cr team respectfully i think you need to think more about the consequences of your Cool Action Choices#on your central characters’ agency and growth#particularly when they are women whose names start with k and v#i think pike does better because there is the extra attention of How To Fit Her In The Story#but for every great moment of character reinterpretation of vex and keyleth there are about five where i’m like.#these characters are animation tradition pilled and not in the fun adventurous way i mean in the#medium that got away with treating women as objects in much more extreme ways for longer way. where i think the echoes are harder to extract#from common tropes and shit that aren’t exactly harmful but do take keyleth and vex. both characters who fit well into archetypes#but who are interesting because of how they subvert them pretty consistently#and instead just have them subvert them on occasion and we’re left with just. innocent flower who occasionally has rage#can’t kill vorugal on her own. can’t crack thordaks gem. why is she there (i said tired and sad for other reasons) i’m being hyperbolic#and cold and charismatic woman (now . trope identical mourning widow 👍) who occasionally is given depth (typically in romantic context)#which sure great. yay action sequence yay npc backstories and motivations. could i get a slice of the time and effort percy and scanlan get#to trace their arcs through everything they do#with keyleth and vex. please. Please#to be clear. this isn’t like. i think the characters are being targeted (certainly don’t think the cast doesn’t have a say either)#this is me saying i think the say they have/choices they’ve made aren’t very compelling ones#tlovm spoilers#vex’ahlia#tlovm

you know that art collab meme where one person does the sketch, one does the lineart, one does colors, shading, etc? it'd be really cool to see artists just. do that and be like "cool I did this part, who wants to take over?"
even if someone already did lines and color and shading, you could still do your own lines. or add color to multiple people's lines. there could be dozens of versions of the same picture, all with different combinations of artists
cause I think sometimes to unwind, artists have a favorite part of the process. some of us just like to do rough messy sketches of an idea. some like to zen out doing lines but don't have the energy to think of a good subject/composition. sometimes adding shadows and glowing light is the fun part!
idk I'm not a big artists able to start trends or anything but I think it'd be cute and fun to have a tag that says "yeah feel free to add to this and pass it on (or finish it)"
like... #opencollab or something? hmm
#btw ur allowed to do that to any of my art! just please credit if u post it anywhere#or better yet reblog the original post!#basically all my art is free to have fun with so long as you're not making money or claiming my work as your own or being mean!#and i mean that in like. you can edit totally finished pieces too if you want#even trace!#idc just be ethical and have fun#:)
