i'll angel in the snow until i'm worthy (snow angel)

#infinity train #grace monroe #she is. such a moment #my art #guesstimating this took like 6-8 hrs #okay actually according to my screentime this took just over 5 hrs? but i literally. basically did nothing except this all day #talk too much was on loop the entire day today it has at least a 90% chance of appearing on my top 5 this wrapped #then again i had a huge loop song last month too so maybe it'll still need to battle it out w the other 9 songs for this yr #it snowed recently and i did not make a snow angel but i did hit some of my friends with snowballs. and get hit. infinite train reference..#i'm not totally sure how this specific shape of snow angel is physically possible but please ignore physics in favor of aesthetics #eventually i will be able to color things in a way that completely (as completely as possible) matches my Head Vision #this one was pretty good as far as vision matching goes though so yay for improvement and progress and growth

say hi to me i don't know, i just remembered being so much brighter, i guess

cigarette ash like wildfire burning holes in the nighttime open scars feel like barbed wire white lies flying high like a ceasefire dropping flags on the shoreline this is as far as i can feel right 'cause what you don't know can haunt you

and all we ever wanted was sunlight and honesty highlights to want to repeat let's get away from here and live like the movies do i won't mind when it's over at least i didn't think for a while

don't drag it out living like that doesn't mean a thing

so let's, make a great escape and i'll be waiting outside for the getaway it doesn't matter who we are we'll keep running through the dark and all we'll ever need is another day we can slow down 'cause tomorrow is a mile away and live like shooting stars 'cause happy endings hardest to fake

and i wanna let you know i wanna let you go but i just can't bring myself to speak but this is how it goes the end credits, they roll this bridge was built over kerosene but we can watch it and all i ever wanted was sunlight and honesty highlights to want to repeat let's get away from here and live like the movies do i won't mind when it's over at least i didn't think

so let's run, make a great escape and i'll be waiting outside for the getaway it doesn't matter who we are we'll keep running through the dark and all we'll ever need is another day we can slow down 'cause tomorrow is a mile away and live like shooting stars you can wish away forever but you'll never find a thing like today

#miraculous ladybug #felix fathom #marinette dupain cheng #felix graham de vanily #🌃#ml amv #felinette felinette felinette FELINETTE #i'm shrimping so hard i'm gromping i'm making absolute tempura #yes the 2 am coco pops félix post was made while i was finishing this yes i am constantly experiencing inconsolable félix feelings #félings even. GOD GOD GOD okay listen #i could do a line by line analysis of this song and how i made the amv i have too many thoughts to put in the tags i am exploding #but in summary REPRESENTATION. REPRESENTATION. EMOTION. REPRESENTATION. EMOTION. REPLIQUE. FUCK ME #félix's trauma an open scar leading her to the art room as far as both of them will go to feel right #ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS TO KEEP ADRIEN AND THEN MARINETTE SAFE #it doesn't matter who we are we'll keep running through the dark huAHUAHHGAG I MTHRWOING UP it's how he doesn't care what she thinks of him #how she sees him whether she hates him he's Chosen her as someone to protect and he will DO IT he will TAKE HER WHEN HE RUNS #i don't care if you beat me i know i have this under control and i'm protecting you and everything is going to be okay EXPLOIDNGNIG #tomorrow is a mile away tomorrow where i find out who you are tomorrow where we have to come apart #this is how it GOES you're the hero i'm the villain adrien is the lover i'm the monster i'm the cousin #marinette and félix and Knowing each other is so #THEY DESERVE SO MANY OTHER DAYS THEY DESERVE TO SLOW DOWN AND BE WITH EACH OTHER AND NOT HAVE TOMORROW PULL EVERYTHING AWAY AND UAHAUHGAUGH #i'm not well about them. félix and freedom and escape #ALSO i have so many feelings about félix cherishing the people he wants to save so much he was willing to do the same thing that led to #his own trauma and use the peacock miraculous TWICE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME ARE YOU KIDDING ME #you can read it differently but right now come with me ARE YOU KIDDING ME #also ALSO i often think about how felinette standing in front of réplique is a reference to pv felinette #and me placing that directly before the wish is a nod to how the pv was rewritten into canon miraculous. a meta wish... felinette remains #but also in universe you can wish away the world that once was and you'll still never find another thing quite like félix #and who you were and could have been to each other today... cherish him marinette... please cherish him for me #i hit tag limit on this essay so i'm not tagging the episodes i used in the amv but i used all eight félix episodes as always

Happy Trapper Tuesday everybody!!!

(Reference + closeups under the cut)

#mash #m*a*s*h #mash 4077 #Trapper Tuesday #trapper john mcintyre #hawkeye pierce #my art #traditional art #Putting less effort into the eyes really helped me out #I don't know why Hawkeye looks evil though #And looking back his hand is kind of wonky but I'm ignoring that. I'm really happy with this #This seems like a different style than my usual art and I don't think I can recreate it #but it might be the fact that I was working in a sketchbook twice the size #Sorry about the lack of detail on Trappers chest. That was just not working out #Today truly is a happy Trapper Tuesday for me because I'm so genuinely pleased with how this drawing turned out!#I started out really frustrated because I've been utterly tired and thought I wouldn't be able to recreate the reference image #but after a lot of sketching and erasing this finally started to take form!#I haven't had a lot of time to draw recently and when I do sit down to drawI'm never happy with what I make #but I really like this drawing and I hope you all enjoy it as well!

you guys I'm mass researching stamps and stamp collecting in much the same way I ended up doing with the history of receipts and I might start collecting stamps for some degree of reference when I go to design some for like, in universe xiv stuff because I'm extra

do I NEED to? absolutely not even a little bit but honestly what's stopping me

#I need to reach out to people I know outside the us so I can get some international stamps too #a wide degree of style reference is really important for what I'm looking into and yes I know there's photos online but like #little picture make my brain happy #it's the same kind of autism that has me still collecting pokemon cards into adulthood #I had way too much caffeine today #I'm not gonna feel like a person tomorrow at all

flashbacks to dialogue that happened less than a minute ago are annoying and a little insulting for obvious reasons, unless it's in bad buddy episode 5 [2/4] and pat is having entirely serious sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago while almost shoving a set of drumsticks he hasn't even paid for yet up his nose. then it's brilliant and world changing

#don't mind me i'm just chewing glass today #when the architecture band starts playing at freshy day and ink says to pat hey isn't that the song you two played that christmas?#it's like yeah... but that's a maddeningly casual way to refer to an event that in the context of the series wide metaphor #is really more like their parents caught them making out in a closet. and then pran got sent to boarding school over it #and NOW pran is up there on stage playing that same song again. looking right at pat when he announces it. but plaYING IT with WAI #and not intentionally. not in a mean sort of way. because pran doesn't know #he doesn't KNOW that pat's been shoving drumsticks up his nose while being struck cold by Love Signs #because how could he. all he knows is that very recently pat was sighing in relief that pran isn't his rival for ink. because pat likes ink #pran does NOT know that in the (very short. more than fifty seconds but still very short) meantime #pat has tried to figure out if ink might like him back. pat has in the process accidentally figured out that HE might like pran #AND pat has tried to confess his feelings to ink only for her to go. very kindly. are you sure you like me that way? i don't think you do #(because he's the wrONG SIBLING. she likes the OTHER SIBLING. which is hilarious but a different thing to go insane over)#and it's like. pran doesn't know!!! pran is just having a day like any other. pran has Known forever #he doesn't KNOW that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars (it's essentially a gay bar. don't even get me started)#(because that's a joke but it's also not. not really. it is but it's not. you know)#!! that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars. pat is suddenly going OH. in sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago #when they were ALSO standing there surrounded by guitars btw. which is the point. nothing has changed but maybe everything has #it's the same thing it was fifty seconds ago but maybe it's not. maybe pat suddenly hears the music that's been playing forever #and maybe this is way too many fucking tags. i don't even think this is the glass i was chewing originally #*#bad buddy #bad buddy the series

I'm not going to put anything up publicly, because my mama didn't raise no person vulnerable enough to be a beginner in public, but I started teaching myself to draw for the nth time about five days ago and it's been going much better than it ever has before.

#largely because I found out that I was holding the pencil the wrong fucking way before #also because I was too focused on rendering and not at all on modelling #I've mostly just been practicing making lines and simple shapes #but I have done a few sketches from reference photos and they're like... not Good #but also are more or less proportional and are 1000% better than anything I've managed to do in the past #and are pretty consistently trending up #although I did stumble a bit attempting to draw clothed figures today #learned my lesson: nakey for now #but like basically I had the thought 'if I had money I would like to commission fanart of X' and then was like 'I'll just learn how to draw #and then I actually committed to it for a good few days in a row #I don't want to be too premature in celebrating here because I flake on so much #but this has been nice and I'm having fun

and if i said the mtt reminded me of these three idols then would i get tarred and feathered

#YES!!!! anyways when will someone draw them all in straitjackets istg #ive been on a bit of a new artist roll today. just discovered akali. and then checked out these 3 #ikigusare idols i knew you 3 were mtt from the moment i saw you no doubt. a shame sango is green instead of purple #anyways mtt connection i like how niigo's left eye is the same eye that flickers killer's sans part ish eye #but like the eye is literally sewn and kept open forcefully. like hey sans part of killer you gotta b part of this 2! no looking away!#was thinking the 3rd eye on sango could be like papyrus. like 2/3 of the head is dust and 1/3 is paps #took seeing his brother to whole different level!#horror's is obvious his eye's just 1 because he's got his whole 1 eye symbolism #mtt but they all have body disformations and its all related to their eyes somehow #can just imagine like...... killer's left eyesocket bashed open and the eye floating in there while the dt goop constantly flows out of it #ikigusare idols all have the same voice and #the mtt would.... as well..... bc theyre all yhe same guy #these idols dont have canon lore im like 80% sur i can make as many crazy mtt connections to them as i possibly can #their music is so like. just a LITTLE bit off. like obviously the voices but just like the notes are just SLIGHTLY off and its so duchahahhh #im not gonna listen to them regularly bc it not my thing but hahahaha mtt........ mtt reference #my english notes have mtt references in them. my friend makes mtt references now because of me #i squeeze my shampoo into my hand in a sparkle star heart shape because of the mtt #it was 4:30 in the morning today and i saw a tiktok comment mentioning the mtt and i tried not yo scream #yk i think ive convinced myself that im not as deranged as i really am about these 3 but lime........ erm what the murder this is freaky!#someone said in a gc that they auditions for acapella and wondered if they got in #this is so mean but my first verbal reaction was literally hell no💀 its SO MEAN #theyre rubbing off on me help. i cant just say it was all the mtt's fault when i'm a goddamn asshole #NO OFFICER I SWEAR IT WAS THE SKELETONS THE THREE SKELETONS THEY POSSESSED ME TO SHOOT THE #yeah....... lets not continue down that path (i say as i made several 9/11 jokes today unprompted)#god typing out tags with silly comments like these are so satisfying :3 always forget how much i luuuuv thumblr #DAMN my typing style has changed a LOT from what i remember. in just a couple of months ive evolved #tricule rant

22: 52, it's almost there.

Good moment to remind the world that I still unironically listen to nsync and bsb.

#it's gonna be may #nsync #you are all joking #and i am two seconds away from making a reference to this vídeo in a chucky fic i'm writing #today is a holyday for the boyband fangirl half of my being

People blindly ascribing every as-yet-unexplained lore hint to Mythal my beloathed.

#today's addition: that statue behind her in the fade is NOT mythal's statue #it's actually dirthamen's (see the exalted plains landmark 'the raven'#which uses the same/a very similar model and is explicitly stated to be a statue of him)#mythal has her own statue model (there are pictures of it on her wiki page but it's basically a headless woman with wings instead of arms)#unless the argument is that bioware used dirthamen's statue model to reference her in this one instance for NO REASON...#also yes i'm mostly mad about this instance because of my crack theory that she killed dirthamen and was killed in revenge #but also like... not everything is about her. come on #that is NOT HER STATUE #why are you blindly assuming another evanuris's statue design is being used for her just because she's in the same area #like. if proximity makes it hers i guess all evanuris statues are tied to solas since he can be in the party whenever you come across one #MYTHAL IS NOT THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE GUYS

man. i really thought i knew where this was going and now. i once again realize i have no idea what i'm doing

#i was gonna try to do something where i mirrored as much of canon as i could #but that's not really gonna work with the setting i have i don't think #but. today i got like 2-3 different ideas and figured out how to make character motivations make more sense #and how to reflect a few different major canon events in this one #when my plan was originally to only make vague reference to them or ignore them wholesale #so. augh. now i have to figure all this out again #it's fine i'm having fun but god. good goddamn do i have no idea what i'm doing #it's also one of those things where i Know i'm gonna get pretty serious rsd from posting it #bc i know this au is niche #there are literally no people in my life outside of my immediate family that cares about the sports fusion this is.#and i am having an incredibly fun time making this indycar au #but i also feel it in my bones that i'm gonna put in all this work and like. very few people are gonna click on it #just bc of the relative unpopularity of this particular motorsport #it would absolutely be more popular if this was a formula 1 fusion. might even make sense with how much of the cast is european #unfortunately for me i do not give a single damn about f1. indycar is my bag #so. it's my fic and i'll mash my fixations together the way i want to #this isn't really bitching that much bc i am Going To Write This Regardless Of Consequences #but i can feel this one being. niche.#and to round off what i started this with: i really thought i knew what my plot was. and now i am realizing that i am going to #constantly be making changes to it for a while #and i'm starting school again in like. a week. so this will slow me down even more

Being poc and/or a wlw and taking psychic damage when you look into the ao3 most popular tags for your big fandom.

#bluerose rambles #if y'all followed me for even a split second y'all know what fandom I'm referring to lmao #not tagging it #because y'all not about to throw me to the wolves 😆#glad to see that things have not progressed at all fandom wise from a 2018 fandom to today #then people on tumblr wanna act all shocked and scandalized about that one skin tone poll exposed just how predominately white tumblr is 🙄#because fandoms don't make fandom spaces welcoming to poc especially black people glad we cleared that up 🙃#anyways rant over #fandom critical

i believe they can save the world

Image ID: The four teen protagonists from Dungeon and Daddies Season 2 standing next to each other. Lincoln Li-Wilson is holding a cell phone with a Hatsune Miku charm high above his head with one hand and pointing at it with the other, asking Normal and Scary, “Anyone else want the phone?” Normal Oak, wearing a Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville shirt, responds, “I’m good. Scary, what do you think?” Scary Marlowe stands between them with her arms crossed and says, “Ugh. I don’t care.” To the right of Lincoln, Taylor Swift is clinging to Lincoln’s shoulder with one hand and reaching for the phone with the other, standing on his tip-toes. He is yelling, “It’s my fucking phone!” There’s smaller dialogue coming from the phone, saying “Taylor? Taylor?” End ID.

#dungeons and daddies #normal oak #scary marlowe #lincoln li wilson #taylor swift #dndaddies #based on that bit when they call home in OSHA's eleven #just. the visual of lincoln holding taylors phone out of reach. so fucking funny.#also someday i'll draw taylor's torso LOL but today and the many days i spent on this were not those days #taylor was actually by far the hardest part of this bc i had no idea how i wanted to position him #i originally wanted him jumping but i could not find a good reference and all my sketches looked crazy unnatural #so no torso taylor it was #i think the next thing i'm gonna draw is from ei8ht #and of course i still want to make the real slim scary. but i really really need to storyboard that first #and that's gonna be an ENDEAVOR. plus i'm trying to write stuff plus work plus school plus exam plus explodes #slydiddledeeart #dndadsart

FREEDOM PLANET 2 REFERENCES THE METAL VIRUS FROM THE IDW SONIC COMICS

#ramblings #sorry i literally have not posted abt this game at all but i've been playing it #uhh spoilers kinda #so i'm playing lilac's story right. i beat it today #there's these two npcs named sunny and amelia that are literally just references to sonic and amy #they're super cute and i love them. son//amy implications aside #anyways after beating lilac's story i talked to amelia (amy) and she talks abt what could happen next after the world like. almost ended #she says 'makes you wonder what's next. evil clones? time travel? a nanomachine virus that turns everything it touches into zombies?'#i'm normal i'm normal i'm normal #i didn't expect that! ik freedom planet as a whole is heavily inspired by sonic #but i didn't think they'd reference something as specific as that i was so caught off guard lol #this game is great please play it i need more ppl to be insane with me

On this very day four years ago, beloved baby boy Casey Treverton was drawn for the very first time, inevitably giving way to me starting to conceptualize for Override.

Which means today is somebody's very special day! 💙✨⭐

#⭐ Star's Art ⭐#Star's OCs #Override #Casey Treverton #Coolness #Ladies and gentlemen and all in-between... HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!#I figured since today is plenty a special day that I would draw Casey again for the first time in a long while #... and I ended up with an artstyle fit for Override!#Surely a few of my followers have been with me long enough to remember both him and his friends right?#Well I've decided that I'm most certainly going to be making more Override content later this year as well as early next year!#Which means that not one but two OC universes I haven't done a lot with recently are going to be getting attention... 👀#I do intend on drawing a new reference for Casey as well as the other three in this exact style #Most excited for MacKenzie in particular since I've been wanting to draw a ref of her for my bestie Organ #I suppose you could consider September 20th the official Override anniversary day...#... though I feel like the true day I first mentioned anything about it is a few days earlier. I'll have to check the archives!#But yeah... with all of that said... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASEY!!!!!!!!

Not to be a jingfu on main, but it's so cute that Jing Yuan thought of Fu Xuan with those jelly beans

#me: the Xianzhou characters are all just coworkers #also me whenever anyone is shown to be fond and have intimate knowledge of some other character: awwww #Like Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan playing starchess and teasing each other or making a reference to things they like #or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong #Quingque apparently disliking Fu Xuan but obviously that not being the case‚ knowing what she likes and how she thinks #Fu Xuan hiding that she has a sweet tooth but Jing Yuan and Quingque knowing it and teasing her for it #I don't know. There are a lot of instances of these small intimate details in the middle of what looks like a coworker relationship #Good coworkers‚ but coworkers nonetheless #And ironically it moves me so much? Even more so than Belobog. I've been told several times that Belobog seemed more tight. And I agree #In Belobog people were friends or family or companions but linked by something closer than mere coworkers with Wildfire #Even Sampo in the Underworld was strangely 'theirs'. He had the magenta colour of Wildfire and he was trusted to some extent #The Luofu characters don't have that. And yet the fragments of intimacy scattered through their interactions move me a lot #These are people who have known each other for centuries. Jing Yuan knows of Yukong's youth‚ its joy and grief #He knows Fu Xuan has a sweet tooth and teases her about her height. Quingque does too #Fu Xuan chastises both of them for being lazy but she knows they're smart and good at their job. She plays starchess with Jing Yuan #Quingque mocks Fu Xuan for being a workaholic but is very aware of the weight she carries both in her position and ideas about destiny #I won't mention Yanqing and Bailu because there is obviously more than a coworker bound when it comes to them #But yes I love the moments of intimate knowledge scattered through the Xianzhou‚ so telling of the fact that these people have known #each other for longer than several human lifetimes‚ and that perhaps they don't necessarily regard each other as more than their coworker #But perhaps that's enough in order for them to care. Perhaps in a lifetime over one thousand years the intimacy gained with a coworker #through several centuries is something beyond what we could understand in our decades lifespan #But also‚ perhaps‚ I don't know. Also‚ perhaps‚ the do care beyond coworkers in that strange line between work and friendship #Perhaps it's strange for Xianzhou natives to tell apart that kind of relationship after so much intimacy and knowledge through the years #And perhaps‚ once again‚ as it often happens for them‚ they think they'll always have enough time to tell; until they run out of it #They play chess together. Quingque can lose time because Fu Xuan can't stay mad if she brings her sweets. Are they just coworkers?#We play chess. I know what tea and sweets you like best. I brought them today since you would indulge me and play starchess with me #Thanks for playing with me‚ I'm running out of book puzzles. You keep divining my moves but I'll invent a fake story to distract you #Are we coworkers or something more like friends? Where is the line after so many years?#I talk too much but I love this charged nothingness haha I find it ironically so true to how many relationships in real life develop #And I find it so moving‚ that representation of this endearing smallness of everyday life. Of these small things is life made
