#Sorry for the rambles

[nekioe]

This is my @dreblrsecretsanta gift for @michygranger23! I hope you're having a great holiday🧡🧡

Here is stageduo sitting wrapped in a very soft blanket in front of a warm little fireplace for you :3

video and images with descriptions of the process under cut because I think it's fun to talk about :3

At first I was kind of scared of starting so I started with a traditional sketch which I ended up really liking! So I decided to use it and made lineart for it, but then I immediately ran into problems because the angle made it really really hard for me to add a fire without making it look like they were on fire

You can't see it in the timelapse, but I made a completely new csp file where i tested out different compositions and stuff to find a way that didn't look like they were on fire... it was a struggle

In the end I ended up changing the canvas size a tiny bit and added these stylized flames instead, I hope it helped them not look on fire😭

The rest is the rendering part :) This is my favorite part :) I have no recollection of it at all :) I don't know what im doing :)

Also I think I might be obsessed with making swirlssssss

[ditzyclown]

Almost forgot to post these too

The second one was an attempt at showing my favorite kind of narinder lol I feel like I failed the beans but tbf I'm relearning how to draw furrys drawing these idiots

I started to ramble a bit about my followers poopsie daisy, anyway click if you wanna hear some of my followers lore)

I also feel like I have more lore for my followers than these two smh, I got a priest disciple bat that gives dad energy that is friend with EVERYONE in the cult (except Aym lmao) and he has a biological daughter and son that were born in the cult, THE DAMN GIRL ASKED ME TO RESCUE HER "sister" FROM DARK WOOD AND LATER THE ADOPTED SISTER WENT "oh save my brother" and just because I'm petty I turned him into those foxes with long ass ears lol (there is also their uncle Wich the bat dad asked me to rescue)

The damn bio son asked me to murder the poor fox JUST after indoctrinating him lmao, bro was salty at not being the younger brother

[forever-and-whats-left]

Vroom vroom here comes a stupid poto analysisssssss. Once more I've run into that plot point where they point out "Would you have loved him if he were an ordinary man?"

IDK DUDE.

Her silence is important because it says a lot more than whatever else words would. She doesn't hate him, she is disgusted by him. That is what is clearly stated. But more broadly, who the fuck would Erik be if he WERE ordinary? His name wouldn't even BE Erik. Would he still be so into music? Would they have met? Would Erik even have spent the time to develop her singing skills because, let's be honest, the whole "dead" father bit definitely made her more open to manipulation? So whenever people say, "It's her saying she's in love with him" I feel like people are missing the big picture, because, the WHOLE theme of the book is how we treat those who are "different". Literally. The end of the book has a monologue about questioning whether we should pity Erik. (and the answer is a lot more complicated than a simple yes or no).

SO. IDK. MAYBE???

[noattentionsstuff]

While I think we all agree 15 finding rouge would be great I think we've all missed the opertunity to have 14 be disobayig Donna and finding a strange man being chased by birds to witch he grabs Said

"hey I think I found a missing companion of yours do you wanna come get him"

"what? Ive only got one companion and she's with me"

"oh so is the handsome man currently playing dnd with rose and Donna anouther river situation or-"

"ROUGE!?"

And so 15 just drags ruby over to the nobles house and ends up back with his boyfriend

Also if anyone writes this please share I would love to read it

[nightcitysteve]

I went to continue playing Veilguard today and was instantly hit by everyone's wishes, problems and demands.

"Everyone's personal things need to be fixed."

BITCH YOU DONT NEED YOUR WEEKLY DINNER AND YOUR BROTHER IS JUST SOMEWHERE BEING EVIL AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT A SPARRING SESSION THERES GODS TRYING TO KILL US WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!? GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER FOR 5 MINUTES!!

[annoyingpeach89]

I know this post is going to fly over people's heads, I will be nitpicked, there will be pissing on the poor. I know you Tumblr users really struggle with reading comprehension. Especially when you're called out on your shit.

Uh, I check to see the tags for Lily Orchard and CD and uhhh.. I see fanart? Chat, what exactly are we doing here? You draw a pedophile's characters to.... make fun of her? This is just looking like fan behavior. You are being a fan of Lily Orchard right now, I hope you realize that. The fanart has happened twice now.

I don't want to hear your fucking "hmmm" "oh..." "but" "huhs," fucking here. I don't want to listen to your million and one excuses as to why you personally think this behavior is justified. Crim called this shit out and you ignored him, I have ten followers and I doubt you'd listen to me either but this shit HAS to STOP.

I know you're subscribed to the lolcow hate train. I know you have all forgotten Lily raped her sister and grooms kids, because you've constructed a strawman in your head of what you think Lily is like. That her only crimes are being stupid and bad about media takes. Fucking quit that, remember what's ACTUALLY wrong with CD/Lily. Remember that just recently she created a fic basically admitting to rape.

But I doubt you'd ever get it in your thick skulls that Lily Orchard is a real pedophile that has done real material harm.

Also, I'm allowed to be angry, I'm a victim of online grooming, not of Lily's but I still am. I don't need your "calm down bro it's just a joke" "it's not that deep" because if you all treated me and my groomer in this way it would feel like I've been stabbed in the back with wounds deeper than the Mariana Trench. Imagine being betrayed by a community that would hopefully offer support, instead hyperfocus on menial shit and be a total fan of your groomer. You guys don't fucking care about victims. You're selfish pricks only hoping to milk the next lol out of Lily.

Boss that eats you on his lunch break?

YES!

Like imagine getting called into his office thinking you're going to get fired, but it turns out the boss just wants you to be their squirmy little snack, and he devours you before you can even say no (not that you'd want to), and as you're happily squirming around in his stomach he eats more and more, and he continues to stuff himself despite your protests, but he tells you he skipped breakfast and needs a big lunch, even though you'd realistically already satisfy his cravings. You're stuck in his stomach for the rest of the day as the rest of the food digests, and at the end of your work day you ask to be let out but he tells you you'll be working overtime. He passes out late at night so now you're stuck for until he wakes up, and you have to just hope the acid isn't able to melt you, or at the very least the boss will reform you. You make it through the night and the boss is surprised you're still completely solid, admitting that he wasn't looking forward to taking the time to reform you, and decides that since you seem to be unable to be digested, he's going to promote you to being part of his lunch from now on.

Eleanor "Rose" Quinn Royce

(Small thanks to @kiwiplaetzchen for the template! Thank you!)

Quick note before I introduce my girl! Eleanor/Rose is a multi-fandom oc, mainly a rise of the guardian oc. I just throw her into whatever current fandom I'm obsessed with. She's technically my MC for Hogwarts Legacy, however her actual storyline/plot line takes place years after the original game storyline. So her original story takes place in 1905, which is 15 years after Hogwarts Legacy. I mainly did this because I wanted to create an original story with what happens years later Hogwarts Legacy, is the MC still recognized to this day, what are they doing now, etc. I'll also be mentioning @choccy-milky oc, Clora Clemons and Sebastian, as Eleanor looks up to them as Curse Breakers. Eleanor doesn't admit it but she suspects that they're the students who were able to cure an incurable curse.

I'll be sharing screenshots and head canons for both her game play and original storyline.

Now some fun facts about Eleanor!

She only allows close friends and family to call her "Rose". She doesn't like it when strangers call her by that nickname, as it makes her uncomfortable.

Her mother, Audrey Royce, was born a Squib. Audrey was casted out of her pure blood family home at the age of seventeen. She erased her family's name, The Griffin, declaring that she doesn't want any of their blood to pass down onto her future children. She meet her husband (Eleanor father), in London attended university with him. Eleanor has lived in London all of her life, however she hopes to one day travel to America to visit her father's side of the family.

The Griffins aren't mentioned in the Royce household, as her parents say it brings bad luck and that they're dangerous. The Griffin are well known Poachers, often making money this way in the Wizarding World. Legend of the family says that they were cursed after Eleanor Great-Great Grandmother killed a powerful Griffin and its baby. They were cursed by an unknown witch, an unknown Blood Curse. Since it skipped a generation, Eleanor now has it and is determined to solve a cure. The curse causes extreme pain after using magic, it builds up over time with less powerful spells. The curse sends strong numbness sensation that turns into shocks of pain throughout the body. For Eleanor, she's most sensitive of these pains in her hands and back, causing them to turn her veins black after performing large amounts of magic. Often she hides her pain by explaining that it's her time of the month. Or some other reasonable excuse, that won't worry her housemates or friends. In extreme causes, she'll have fainting spells and becomes disoriented after waking up.

Her father, Eric Royce, is a muggle and works as a surgeon. He doesn't have much knowledge of the Wizarding World and thinks of it as parlor tricks. He only knows that his wife family is 'dangerous', which is why Audrey cut communications.

She has a little brother on the way, born just before her sixth year of Hogwarts. Arthur J Royce is a muggle born as well. Eleanor loves her little brother and sends him letters over the years.

Eleanor never knew that the Wizarding World existed until she discovered a book hidden underneath the floor board in her family attic. "The Guide of Magic and Witchcraft" Audrey A. This was her first real introduction to magic and spells, as she also believed that it was nothing more than parlor tricks like her father. Eleanor doesn't know much of her mother's side of the family, besides that the maids sometimes mention that she doesn't have 'pure blood'. And that there's a 'sickness' that seems to run in the family, females only, and spared her mother.

As in terms of her personality...I would say that she has qualities of some of the houses. Eleanor always tries to think of the world and art in peculiar ways. She likes to learn everything from a different point of view, which can cause her to become naive at times. She's extremely stubborn, once she's made up her mind it is hard to change it. I wouldn't say that Eleanor is a coward, however she doesn't like stressful situations and it causes her to become indecisive or reckless. Because of this, she often has a hard time thinking forwards the future and worries on if the choices she's made are the correct one. Eleanor is a bit standoffish in the beginning, she can strike up a conversation and is friendly once she warms up others. She cares very deeply for her friends and family, seeing them as a lifeline if she starts to fall into her own despairs.

I would say her MBTI would be ISPF (Adventure) and her star sign is Sagittarius. While in terms of DnD, she would fall under Good Neutral.

She loves blueberry muffins, made by her childhood friend Jordan (Hufflepuff). She demands that she must have a cup of coffee in order to function every morning, if not she becomes extremely grumpy.

Eleanor would be active reader, often finding herself lurking towards the forbidden section in the Library. She mainly enjoys fiction and mystery, so it isn't uncommon to see her carrying around an old beaten up copy of Sherlock Holmes.

While her hobbies mainly focus on reading or creating water color copies of her pressed flowers, Eleanor is good at playing the Violin! She often plays the violin while her father plays the piano to help entertain guests. While Eleanor doesn't like it, she'll admit that it helps calms her down.

Eleanor often gets into trouble with the perfects for her 'night wanders', as she's often seen walking around the castle late at night. She loves exploring the castle, trying to find the highest hiding spot in order to read her books in peace.

Because of the Griffins, Eleanor has slight Metamorphagy abilities. She can only change her hair color, as she does this when she runs out of potions. Her natural hair color is a medium brown, she uses potions to dye it a red/maroon color instead.

She has a pet cat that she would secretly feed named Lulu. While her hogwarts pet is a brown short-eared owl named Cocoa.

Her Patronus would be a Calico Cat, while her Amagus form would be a Raven.

Dueling Style: Agile, chaotic, lots of defensive spells/charms, loves using fire spells, and uses dark magic rarely. She doesn't like to use dark magic, seeing it only as a last resort depending on the situation. While it is illegal, that won't stop her from at least learning dark spells, even if she doesn't plan to use them.

kevin just......the fact that he pushed so hard to send jean to usc. to a place that is so different from everything he's ever known, to a team who's known for his kindness, to a captain and partner that is the absolute antithesis of his old one.

kevin knows what jean went through (he was *there* for a great deal of it) and he sent jean as far away from that as he possibly could because he understands and cares and it's beautiful to see.

[riptide-if]

Because MC is well known surfer do they have their own fandom ?

yeah! surfing infodump rq to explain

riptide is structured a little diffy for story purposes but surfers have to participate in smaller competitions firsts to rack up points, like local comps. then it typically goes junior tour, (20 and under, MC’s first JT was when they were 9) challenger series, qualifying series, and then championship tour (the one MC’s currently going on at 22!)

n’s CT was when they were 24, a year prior. MC has qualified for the CT in previous years but freddie values their education immensely lol.

but all this to say, yes. they do have a decent online following since they’re very talented but also due to them dating lee. they are like a local celebrity in their town as well lol always being given free stuff especially since most store owners have known MC their whole lives. MC is also seen throughout their life in online surfing videos but hilo only made and managed w/ aria a youtube channel when they were like 14, 15

[letswritestories101]

There is something very devastating to me about writing.

I don’t know, it’s about writing being one oldest form of share thoughts but, at the same time, the most... “limited”.

Music, drawing, animation. These things also take time to be made. It’s all ways of art that requires just as much effort and dedication. But I can’t help but feel that they are easier ways for your art to be shared, objectively speaking.

A painting can be comprehensible due to its aesthetics and style. Just like a song, it sticks in your head, holds your attention. I can tell if the sound is sad or happy or angry.

A book can't do that.

You don’t watch or hear a book. It won’t reach people with its visuals or sounds, things that are so common to humanity as a whole... and that hurts me.

Feeling that the art that I love so much can’t be as universal as I want it to be. A song can reach people who speak different languages, and so can na image. A book will always have a language barrier. If it is not translated, others will not have access.

I cannot rely solely on sound and vision and feelings that go beyond language. Not like a artist or a musician can.

I am a communicator blocked by my own way of communication.

And that hurts.

[tblsomedoodles]

Sooo in FW Jennika looks up turtles facts after finding out the turtles are her brothers. What cool turtle facts actually apply to the boys like....

Can donnie breath underwater like nonmutant spiny softshells? Or is it something else that can be applied? How do their spider and turtle traits clash? (How stressed is poor leo when it cones to their medical notes becayse they are a. Hodge pog of human pider yokai and turtle and that has to have conflicing health things)

Ok, before I answer your questions proper, i'm going to explain a bit about the boys weird genetics, and why they're not as weird as they could be lol.

Basically, summed up to, they just don't have a lot of spider genetics compared to the human and turtle they got. And here's why!

Yokais, for my things at least, are mostly very old or descendants of Mutants from when the Krang came to earth originally.

Big Mama, specifically, comes from several generations of human-spider mutants. So! When Mama has kids with a plain old human, they end up with kids that are about 75% human, and 25% spider (assuming that mama's human-to-spider ratio was 50/50 for simplisity's sake.)

so then these little 75/25 hybrids get mutated, turtle taking over half of what is already there. This doesn't exactly leave a lot of Spider genetics, and what they do have, get suppressed (until being around Mama for that time mystically unsuppressed it that is.)

(not to mention, i imagine the mutagen has a stabalizing affect on the genetics to insure they aren't a medical wreck from two genetics being smashed together)

ANYWAYS! That being said!

(Sorry for answering these backwards but here we are lol)

Yeah, Leo and Donnie both were pretty stressed when putting together everyone's medical files. Like there is no information about what is normal for them so they kinda just have to guess, and both of them hate that. (Donnie help b/c research is fun and Leo wouldn't actually keep the files neat and readable if he didn't lol.)

Because of the whole 'stabilizing' thing and how little spider dna they have left, their turtle and spider genetics don't clash as much as one would think. I think the biggest change (other than the obvious ones) are that their diets shift a bit. Mikey has to eat more protein than he was b/c of the webs. Leo and Donnie have to eat more in general b/c of the massive 4 arms growth spurt they're in the process of. Raph needs to eat more too, but only when he's been in human form a lot. being in human form takes extra energy and thus needs more food to fuel it.

As for cool Turtle facts Jenny found, hell yeah one of them is that Donnie can breath underwater. And he definitely can. He doesn't particularly care to b/c switching back and forth ends with a lot of choking on water/air during said shift, but it's still a thing he can do.

She also found out that tomatoes are toxic to turtles, which kind of causes her to panic the first time she sees them eat a pizza lol. (her brothers didn't inherit that particular trait lol. though they are allergic to Avocados/avocado pits as a result of the mutation.)

That's all i can think of right now.

Thank you!

Merlin's love language is acts of service, and for some reason, that includes risking his life for Arthur every week even when he doesn't need to

it’s like you’re in my head or something, i was literally just rereading one of my little ficlets, thinking about their little three way dynamic of merlin, arthur and death after todays rewatch.

merlin’s a menace all the time and that only naturally includes his love language, but, really, i think my favourite part is how much arthur doesn’t get it. yeah, sure, he knows acts of service, but who in their right mind could get the twisty way merlin’s going about it. my guy could divert an arrow heading straight for arthur with one swift flash of gold and still try and jump in front of it afterwards. i mean, good for him, that’s dedication, but, god, does he need a break. get that oxygen flowing, set things back to normal (well, as much as that can be done). bless his sweet, sweet, slightly concerning soul.

[cognitive-behavioural-torture]

It’s sad how I will never amount to anything. I love so many things, it’s sometimes just too much. I want to be exceptional, I want to be unique. But how could I ever stand out when I am just another product of a cookie cutter regimen. I am just a copy and paste of you.

my writing, my art, my theatre, my sports, myself? It is leaving me empty. I just want to be exceptional- but it’s selfish to think this way because so does everyone else.

You want to be seen, to be cherished, don’t you?

sometimes I can’t help but wonder if I am actually alive. I’ll just graduate to become another intern-contractor-paperwork nobody. The only thing I am truly good at is being average. But that doesn’t count for much, does it?

I used to have motivation, aspirations, but it’s all shrivelling away. I’m alone.

I know I’m alone, or at least I’m lonely.

nihilistic, but isn’t it true that commonfolk stories are erased by time? Isn’t it true that someday I will be forgotten?

I am scared of death, terrified even- but I cannot seem to get rid of this heavy blanket. It will forever weigh me down. I am the definition of inadequacy, and I can’t seem to look past it.

this is no suicide note. This is me, grovelling for connection. I am pleading with you to tell me you’re alone too.

I am scared of mediocrity, but oh so hippocritical, when I am the monster I truly fear.
