#I'm sorry if this is dumb

[gravityglitch-blog]

Of all the social media platforms out there, this is the one where you can shout silly thoughts into the void, right? I hope so.

When working on my drawing of Feral N, especially on his claws, I started thinking about the movie "Edward Scissorhands", and my mind ended up adapting a few scenes.

---

N levels up his art skills, graduating from crayon drawings to ice carving. Copper Nine is soon a sculpture garden, each piece a landmark in the blank frozen landscape. As a surprise for Uzi, he makes a winged sculpture of her, but he doesn't give it Solver wings. He gives it angel wings. Because that's how he sees her.

The edgy sarcasm Uzi has always relied upon as her shield lowers the moment she sees it. She laughs with real joy and dances in the snowfall made by N's artwork, because for once the snow is a beautiful thing, not a product of storms or fallout.

---

After a battle where Uzi was in danger, N went into full Disassembly Drone mode to protect her. He knows she's more than capable of handling things, but he can't help it.

It's Uzi. He can't have anything hurting her. When it's all over and he starts coming back to himself, he's horrified. He promised that he would never get like this again. Seeing his anguished expression, Uzi rushes into his arms, never mind his claws. She holds him tight.

She is not afraid.

---

In a different moment, a different battle further down the line, Uzi wraps him in her arms and whispers the words she's been holding back all this time.

"I love you."

Those words tear through N like a shock wave. How long he's wanted to hear them. And now all he can do is shut his eyes and hold her tighter. Their story is drawing to a close, they can both feel it. Is it foolish to still wish for a happy ending?

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

Since book 7 part 5 (the part where we meet Meleanor/Maleanor 👀) is coming to EN this month, i would love to see your take on lilia’s proposal to meleanor! i mean they were like little kids right? it couldn’t have been that serious…i think the only reason she even brought it up again is because she could tell lilia still genuinely loved her…(even if he didn’t realize it himself?) but, oh well! Let’s think about silly childhood shenanigans to numb the pain! ^_^ (orz)

oh shit?! get ready for a doozy guys, it's comiiiiiing ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I chickened out of posting the whole thing (look, I get VERY carried away when it comes to these wacky kids and their Tragedy), but I do believe that it probably ended with Lilia getting embarrassed and just shoving the first thing he sees into his mouth to try and cover for it.

(we're just lucky it wasn't a frog this time)

Live action Zoro's new nickname for Sanji is 'waiter.' And you know what the Sunny has?

Cover our souls with robes of black and take up the arms of night

I wanted to design intermediary forms for the Lords in Black as sort of a Nyarlathotep/Messengers vibe.

Maybe they started out trying for intimidation when first summoned before going for whimsical terror, maybe they're forms that the LiB assume when visiting other worlds and dimensions to travel among the populace.

maybe I just really wanted to design more monster boys

It's been brought to my attention that the proposed Tumblr blackout is actually going to be harmful for disabled folks, as it removes the ability to have users fix improperly tagged content and will decrease the reach of Disability Pride Month content.

So I'm not going to be stepping away this week.

This is an issue that several people have tried to mention to the one who proposed the blackout, and the message has been repeatedly ignored. Though the blackout had an impact on Reddit, the truth of it is that Tumblr is not Reddit and so we likely need to use different methods.

Please do not join the blackout. It will actually harm those with disabilities, because it will prevent many people from seeing and spreading disability awareness content.

Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for the understanding.

Yes, yes, we're all very convinced, Dan.

this is so needlessly chaotic but so is act 4 so really if you think about it i'm imbibing the spirit of it all into a lot of gaussian blurring

happy new year Ego!!! Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore your twst fanart and the tags are just an absolute pleasure to read! You are my greatest inspiration for my personal twst art and I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful masterpieces <333 if possible, may I ask what are some of your headcanons for the diasomnia family? If not for diasomnia then any other characters are fine as well!

thank you, and happy new year! 💚💜💚 that is amazing to hear; it's always a little bewildering but super flattering that other people like my silly little doodles so much!

I don't think I really have any really solid headcanons and also canon keeps validating me left and right (FLUFFY DOMESTIC DIAFAM IS REAL). mostly just kind of...impressions and general thoughts, if that makes sense! lately though I've been kind of obsessed with thinking about Lilia's hair, and specifically when/why he ended up cutting it. (l-look, we're bouncing around the timeline and I gotta make decisions about these things when I draw, it's relevant) (I mean I would probably be weirdly fixated on this anyway, but.)

I think I've settled on the idea that he kept it long until he went to NRC, partly because 1) I like drawing The Ponytail, and 2) I think he thought of NRC as a chance to reinvent himself a bit! he gets to go and be a wacky carefree teenager for a few years and have fun! (officially he's there to keep an eye on Son #1, but how much trouble could he get into, really.) so he gave himself a Cool Teen Haircut to go with his fresh new Cool Teen Persona!

also maybe he had some reflection on his hair's troubled past with three kids...

...and had to weigh his vanity versus the fact that he was going off to be around hundreds of kids on a daily basis, and. the choice suddenly seemed obvious.
