#Literally how do people color so good???

[0rayzen0]

Tbh i never had any color pallet in mind for him at the very beginning and I regret it because I struggled alot at just figuring out colors for him.

This took way too long to make than necessary Its not even funny💀

But I finally managed to create a color palette that I like for now, these are just some notes I want to keep in mind on his design I guess.

(I didn't want to add too much unnecessary colors and designs but at the same time I don't want him to look too dull looking, my mind can't choose.)

sickened whenever I recall the horrid fact that kurapika is literally the only one who speaks his first language, he has not heard a word of it out of another person's mouth since he was 13 & he knows he never will again. not to mention being the only one who shares his spiritual/religious beliefs, whatever they may be. celebrating any kurta specific holidays alone forever. it's literally sooo sick god I'm gonna throw up. probably can't even reminisce & take comfort in the memories of the good times bc the more recent memory of finding their mutilated corpses is always gonna inevitably float it's way to the front of his mind bc untreated PTSD is just like that. it's so fun & cool how he's not only alone as the last of his people but alone in his pain bc who the hell could even begin to relate to what he's been through. other genocide survivors can't relate, family annihilation survivors can't relate...talk about isolating. haha well anyways unrelated but its time to overdose on my antidepressants

not tagging the post because i'm not actually trying to start drama but...i find it Interesting that fans who saw the disappointment over s2 casting choices IMMEDIATELY turned to "well don't harass the [white] actors!" a) no one was calling for that, in my case i explicitly mentioned the casting directors and the neilman, b) where was this energy when Vanesu Samunyai got harassed? it's telling that the example is a white-passing man whose fans dug up his background as a gotcha for, again, nonwhite fans expressing frustration with how white (and yes, white-passing) characters are privileged over Black characters. i don't think the fandom OR netflix gets to pat themselves on the back because they cast nonwhite actors in ANY roles. i don't think the fandom should police how nonwhite fans feel or their expressions of frustration in public spaces. i don't actually think sandman is "so diverse"! i think it could be more diverse, and telling me and other nonwhite people to just settle for whatever we get is...well.

one thing i hope we in the united states get over like. sooner rather than later is the specter of "chinese censorship". i occasionally encounter people saying that riot, a famously regressive company in a famously regressive industry, won't just say viktor and jayce are in love because of censors in china and it's just like ok. i just don't think that's true. i think the call is coming from inside the house

The Slope by @megatron-fucks provides a great scene where Pharma gets to blow up on Ratchet about how he lost everything good in his life and faced a fate worse than death so Ratchet has no right to judge him.

But you know what else I really want to see and might write myself?

I want a post-Delphi scene where Pharma gets to verbally rip Ratchet apart about how he disowned Pharma and is acting as if the 'new Pharma' is a completely different person, but in reality Ratchet is just desperate to convince himself that Pharma was always a bad apple and the "best friend" Ratchet knew was either a lie or a person who's "died." Basically Pharma getting to lambast Ratchet about how 'the person he used to be' isn't some separate entity, that the old Pharma LITERALLY IS HIM and it's Ratchet who's a piece of shit for being unable to reconcile that Pharma could be his former best friend and also the monster he ended up becoming.

Mostly in regards to the aspect of canon where despite being former best friends, Ratchet made basically zero efforts to have any sympathy for Pharma or extend help/mercy to him and mostly used their former friendship to prey on Pharma's insecurities to manipulate him into doing what he wanted.

Of course it's a narration by Pharma so it might not be 100% correct or unbiased, but like. I just desperately crave some sort of resolution between Ratchet and Pharma. Or if not a resolution, at least some catharsis where Pharma gets to unload and Ratchet acknowledges he was a bastard.

I have the absolute angiest idea for a fic that I will not write because I’m already half in tears just thinking about it. Only click the readmore if you want to see me dribbling into an emotional puddle.

Zuko’s lightning injury from Azula during Sozin’s Comet was just a bit worse. Katara finishes the Agni Kai with furious tears in her eyes because she knows that the blow was lethal. There is nothing mortal hands can do to save him. But Agni is at his highest power in a hundred years and he knows Zuko’s destiny is to lead the Fire Nation out of war. He cannot die here. A sunbeam concentrates on him while the women fight and suddenly Zuko sits up, perfectly healed with a streak of gold in his hair, bright as a sunbeam. Distracted by her brother’s miraculous recovery, Katara subdues the Fire Princess.

The war is over, everyone lived and there is much celebration.

Until Zuko is hurt during an attempted assassination just a few months after his coronation, not enough to be fatal but enough to add more gold to his hair. That’s when the others realize that the spirits gifts to do not come without cost. Zuko lived to be crowned and as the literal embodiment of Agni’s will on Earth, it is his duty to help pull the Fire Nation back from the brink. But age and injury will slowly sap away his humanity until he will return the life he was given to the sun.

Everyone is devastated. Sokka especially does not take this well. He was just starting to move past Yue, starting to imagine a life in the Fire Nation alongside Zuko. And now he’s going to lose a second love to the spirits. Zuko is hurt but understanding of the distance his friends, his love, give him. He is well used to losing the things he loves. Ever since he died and was reborn, he’s felt different. The gold streaked hair is the most obvious but his eyes take on an extra golden hue. His firebending is now effortlessly powerful and suddenly he has to work on tamping down the raw power he feels under his skin.

Every day that passes, every new golden hair that appears, he feels a little less human, a little more ethereal and he tries to be strong and grateful for the time he has. Mostly, though, he’s scared. Every evening at sunset, he prays to Agni for one more day, just one. He has to settle this trade agreement, he has to help celebrate Toph’s birthday, he needs to hear the swipe of his swords cutting through the air just one more time. Zuko is living on borrowed time and is determined to make the most of it.

One day, Sokka returns, storms into the Fire Palace with steady, tear-filled eyes. He didn’t get time with Yue, he had no warning when she was suddenly taken from him leaving with regrets of what could have been. But Zuko is still here and Sokka will not waste any more of those precious, dwindling days. He pulls his love close, tucking golden fringe out of his eyes. Sokka cannot promise or expect forever, all he wants is here and now.

Assassinations and injuries still happen, sometimes severe enough that Zuko is unconscious. He wakes up during those times in the Spirit World, more gold appearing in his hair as he waits and wonders if this is the last time. Sometimes he sees his familly in the Spirit World. Sometimes he meets them in the wrong order. I want a scared, suspicious Sokka trapped by Hai Bai in the Spirit World eyeing the Fire Prince who’s older, calmer, has streaks of gold in his hair and looking at Sokka with such soft, loving eyes. A younger, grieving Iroh meets a burned, golden haired spirit on his spiritual journey who offers tea and advice. He feels a new wave of grief for this nameless man he will not place for many years. I want Aang to yell after Azula’s lightning, to rage at an older Zuko for letting it happen, for letting Ba Sing Se fall. All Zuko can do is apologize and hold his friend close and pray they both wake up. While Aang sleeps in the iceberg, sometimes he hears whispers of a friend, warm as a candlelight. If he were able to open his eyes, he’d see love and attentiveness and hair so gold he barely looks human. Zuko, at the end of his life, tells Aang just at the beginning of his that they’ll see each other soon.

Years, decades pass and Zuko’s black hair is almost entirely replaced by gold. He’s having a hard time staying aware and present in the physical world. He’s done so much good, helped save the soul of his people, raised a fine, generous Fire Lord to carry on his legacy. The work Agni saved his life for is done. His last day on Earth is a joyful filled with love, friends, family and contentment. He does not pray for one more day because he knows he will not get it. The sun sets that day and so too does Zuko, disappearing into the fading sunbeams.

There is grief butt also gratefulness that they had so long, time they did not expect to have. The sun gleams in the sky, lighting the way for future generations. He laughs with Yue over silly things, mostly Sokka and welcomes each of his friends to the Spirit World. And when a new, bright eyed Avatar enters the Spirit World and finds an old man with kind eyes, an old burn scar and long flowing golden hair, they know that they are in the company of a friend.

People hating on a literal child because she doesn’t physically look like a character in a book who we only ever saw in concept art and fanart vs me who was kinda sad when I realized book Percy wasn’t black because the description of a young boy living in New York who’s close with his single mother parent who is constantly seen as stupid troublemaker by both peers and teachers and his moms awful boyfriend and who’s only friend is the only other Outcast (non white) classmate who’s only ally is the literature teacher who then he finds also has doubts about him felt very if not fully black then at least mixed coded.

But then I moved on and enjoyed the story for what it gave me, can some of these people say the same 🤔

[cupid-quinn]

ranting on the blog cos i fucking can!!!! saw a post talking shit about a fic that involved an asexual character and im just annoyed!!!!

i hate reading a fic and seeing the comments and one of them is like “hey this piece of work is shit cos u represented this asexual character wrong >:(“ when the work represented the asexual character PERFECTLY FINE but theyre not sex repulsed.

the character could be shown making sex jokes or even just casually talking about sex and somehow its an issue? lord FORBID theyre in the bedroom too (no matter if they’re participating or not)

funny enough asexual people arent all sex repulsed, idk how many times this needs to be said? not all asexual folk are the silly weird “sometimes i forget sex exist!” character thats become to prevalent in media now. and im not saying being sex repulsed is bad/being stereotypical, being sex repulsed is fine! ok! amazing! but what im saying is it isnt the only way to be asexual.

honestly any representation of asexuality is good representation cos its a (sparkle effect) SPECTRUM (sparkle effect) some are sex repulsed, some are sex indifferent, some are sex favourable, some are sex weird and some just really wanna touch some ass. You literally cannot misrepresent asexuality unless you purposely write a canon ace character as allo. you cannot misrepresent asexuality cos people are weird and odd and different.

im sorry if your uncomfy with an asexual character being written/shown as being sex indifferent/sex favourable but please just block the tags, dont read the work, dont interact and fucking dont comment. youre acting like an ass and making someone feel bad for no reason. its fine to be uncomfortable cos funny enough you have the right to but dont put others down cos you’re uncomfortable.

it happens so often no matter if its fanfiction, artwork, whatever-the-fuck, anytime an asexual character is shown in a sex related situation theres a problem. unless if the character has been specified to be sex repulsed, shut up and let people have fun.

it gets tiring thats all?

(not using any specific tags, only cos i dont wanna get harassed but if you somehow found this congrats ig)

i think people should stop thinking in stark black and white and stop taking things violently at face value and maybe society would be a little better. or at least stop making it the problem of other people. it really is a great brain exercise to stop and be like well okay wait a minute. you literally feel better.

[bisexualmaedhros]

i’m sorry but i do actually look like those memes… i mean my eyes are gray but i do the stare… in my defense it’s not the fishing for compliments thing, it’s the “i trained myself to make eye contact when people talk to me” thing. but also my pupils are so big most of the time it’s hard to see my eye color anyway
