Expertise can't help you here.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have!#I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play.#I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks.#Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere.#Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios.#The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*.#This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those.#Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human.#Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her.#She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist.#The damsel was the dragon all along!#...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

#it's bad if you want i have sex it's also bad if you DON'T want to have sex #god forbid if you're a woman in a heterosexual marriage and aren't in the mood #that's 'withholding sex' and you're clearly abusive scum who should be divorced and left without any of your shared assets.#but if you DO have sex now you're a degenerate freak plotting for the downfall of western society #i don't know what to say i'm just so tired #politics #culture #queerphobia #lgbtqia #misogyny #<it's not the exclusive source but let's be honest sooo much of this is integral to the patriarchy #patriarchy needs access to an underclass they can treat like sex objects but they also don't want them to have any human rights #so sexuality is both obligatory and stigmatized #purity culture #i'm really struggling with tagging this because most of the appropiate tags would- in a beautiful twist of irony- get me booted off tumblr

need to exist in your warmth (id in alt)

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #blood tw #ruporas art #love u when i get to cuddle u and love u when i get to feel ur blood soak into my hands #being this close to one another means the eternal suffering of trying to separate love and mission. love for one and love for humanity #i like to think of pre-vol8 vash as someone who struggles with his feelings for ww bc as equal and as trusted he is -#vash knows his responsibilities and he knows/expects ww wouldn't let him stray from it either. for that he can't take to any romantic incli #and i think itd make him view ww in a stricter non-personal way... If that makes ANY sense.#for ww - take someone who youv gotten close to and ended up liking more than you expected #someone who has a belief and follows it stubbornly - someone who'll get into more fights and trouble more than youv had your entire life #ww thinks of him as a monster but he knows theres a limit he himself can take - i feel like hes considered what might be the limit for vash #for Safety measures. just in case. yknow. whenever he himself might have to load the bullet < him hyping himself up as if he could do it #my point being that the thought of vash being dead crosses his mind more than he'd like. i think its a simultaneous dread drop in his stoma #for failure of the mission - but also an Ok? They can be killed? and also a disastrous gunning of his own heart. considering how much they #both live in their own heads some days are Just the worst ever for them in each others company. but also they lov each other :[ sooo much

All the queen Rolan on my dash is giving me Tma flashbacks

#Like! The two characters are the same flavor of tragic to me!#Even just in canon!#They both struggle with humanity #And guilt (so much guilt)#And having someone that no matter what isn’t scared of them #And I have more thoughts but augh #And queen Rolan specifically reminds me of s5 Jon #I think about both of these characters a normal amount #And they both unknowingly caused *insert tma spoiler here*#This post probably appeals to me and only me #But oh well.

this is outrageous i cant stop drawing them

#tpot #two #gaty #twogaty #gattwo #decided to stop being a coward and finally post these doodles LOL #what i love about their friendship is you could interpret it romantic or platonically and it still works #i don’t like it in a romantic sense - but i love what it does for both characters. we get to see a side of them we dont see with anyone els #gaty in presplit is rude but honest. always the voice of reason. we didnt get to see her without conflict #and because of her friendship of two we get to see a caring and considerate side to her #and her friendship humanizes two - shows their struggles and shows how they work through things #and with host x contestants there’s usually a power imbalance but there isn’t here. they are on the same level and they genuinely like to #talk with each other - they look forward to it! doesn’t matter if you view it as platonic or not - its undeniable their friendship is stron

#this is a cry for help please i have loved this clown for over a decade #When Bruce says “I can fix him” I completely understand & not bc I want to fix him #but bc despite all the atrocities he has committed you can't help but feel compassion for him #Joker constantly struggles to not let himself be seen vulnerable but when he does oh God it breaks my heart #I wouldn't know what to do if I were aware that I'm being doomed by the narrative & i had no escape even in death #to have a fate as tragic as being forced to become a myth #a monster who abandons all traces of humanity to make sure that someone else never abandons his #A lonely man who lives in a world of the dead and must do as much harm as possible to the only living person before his eyes #After all horror and obsession leads backs to love. oh god imagine loving as much as he does #Love as something twisted as a source of tragedy and death as an addiction a wound that never stops bleeding and hurts more every day #All you want is to be free #But someone else is holding on to you and will never let u go bcz he is afraid of being alone #and without you the weight of the world he carries on his shoulders would kill him he needs u as much as u need him #both are going to drown together #anyways hahaha i luv this stupid clown #joker #the joker #batjokes #bcz i got carried away writing the tags :p

just now. imagining percy before learning of his father as a god. remembering nothing of him but a face he couldn't name. a face he and his father shared. percy often wondering if they were similar in other ways. if his father liked wrapping his arms around mom while she packed s'mores for the campfire like he did. if his father liked long car rides to the beach while mom sang to whatever was playing on the radio like he did. if his father liked running along the beachside shore while the water crashed against his feet like he did. if the reason his father was lost at sea was because he wanted to immerse himself in all the ocean had to offer. if the waves were so captivating, he'd dive underneath the surface and search to his heart's content. if the reason he was lost was because he wanted to find himself. if faces were any indication, percy didn't know who he was. maybe his father felt that way too.

#poseidon indeed has felt that way #often wondering if his son scrunches his eyebrows together when confused like he does #if his son struggles to keep his emotions at bay but tries his best to practice restraint like he does #often wondering if his son wishes to explore the depths of the ocean to escape from the fleeting life humanity has to offer #(the pain of loving someone you'll never meet)#he hopes sally has raised him in a way he couldn't #he wishes he had someone to pray to #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo textpost #pjo #pjo headcanon #pjo angst #pjo hurt #percy jackson #poseidon #percy and poseidon #percy and poseidon angst #both men grieving a relationship they never got but desperately wanted #to love like breathing underwater

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

#i dont know what i expected but i was waiting for a friend and too excited to wait until later #malevolent podcast #john doe #john doe malevolent #john malevolent #malevolent fanart #grimm art #ep 43 #ep 43 left me with a lot of thoughts ... i didnt quite like how much of a recap it felt like at times but that might #be because ive been relistening and like yeah everyone knows that john 🙄 but that's not the case for everyone and with monthly uploads #things get forgotten easily #i find the discussion of “humanity” so interesting because John has shown that without someone that he has forcibly grown to value as an #equal... something he cannot do as the king of yellow as he is superior to all of his realm and presumably stays out of other elder god's #anyway. without that equality and enviroment to grow he fails to reach his goal of compassion and falls onto old ways.#John. The King in Yellow. shown by both times each has found themselves in human form do not just crave power and influence!!!#THEY CRAVE COMMUNITY!!! an endrich being not born or raised with nothing but power and ego #CRAVES COMMUNITY.#His goal of “humanity” is not a selfless goal like John projects - it is ultimately somewhat selfish as he does not want to be alone!!#which makes this desire so much more human #i don't know maybe this is just me spelling out whats already there but the way john and the witch argued about humanity frustrated me #it felt like they were missing the point or that perhaps the “good/evil” “black/white” retoric was already realised by me and john needed #realise it himself . which is fair !!!#i dont know!!!!#the witch was talking about how bad everyone was and how humanity is cruel and john was talking about Lily (#who also frustrates me how shes used in the plot somewhat she was literally just a nurse doing her job bro #) but to John - yes internally he is struggling with his moral greyness and im so proud of him for growing being himself SO PROUD #JUST.!!! he wants community. he needs community. he loves his friend. 'humanity' at its core does not matter as long as you try to be bette #and i think thats awesome and i really enjoyed the episode #guhh im rambling enjoy my tag rambling i dont know i want john to have more friends :(#yorrick can be another friend godd i love you yorrick so silly

There's something about reading really great writing that's so relaxing. You can just sit back and let the words wash over you, knowing that you can trust the writer.

#random thought of the day #books #part of the reason i'm not getting writing done today was because i spent most of my free time reading from books i've let sit for too long #i haven't been able to sink into good fiction for a while #so elizabeth goudge felt like a spiritual experience #cleansing and uplifting #it always takes me a while to get into her books #there's a learning curve of a couple of chapters to adjust to the style #but once i break through it's bliss #it becomes easy as breathing #there's nothing quite like what she does #i love books that understand that goodness isn't boring or trite #you don't need to have 'darkness' and 'grit' to be complex #like one bit that took my breath away was the talk about sallie and david's marriage struggles #they're both good people who love each other #but they also have their differences because they're human and that causes struggles #not marriage-breaking struggles just nuanced life struggles #and i'm not sure i've seen something like that in a book before #it's a good marriage they married the right people but that doesn't mean life is perfect #goudge uderstands that marriage isn't happily ever after--heaven is #and a good marriage is two people partnering up to help each other reach that goal #it's so much more adult than any 'complex adult' work i've seen

These FFS inner demons are very “disco elysium skills” reminiscent. I NEED to meet that cast! Also freaking awesome work to you and your buddy :]

May it be an open secret that one of my inspirations was Disco Elysium. I think they could party together.

#fourfold soul #jolis #disco elysium #disco elysium skills #suggestion #electrochemistry #Conceptualization #digital art #It's less so that I combined skills and collapsed them into an aspect (that's the name of the personal demons in FFS)#HDB's thought cabinet is designed to be very unique to him! His skills are the parts of his brain all fighting for a spot to be heard.#And I really loved how your party in disco elysium was your skills (aka: YOU).#So Fourfold Soul's whole hook is that you are fighting with yourself. Both alongside and against!#It's human nature to feel internal conflict and struggle between the parts of you that want different things.#And no part is necessarily better or wrong. It has its time and place!#I'm an electrochem defender btw. My guy loves sandwiches and sunsets just as much as booze and snooze.#The part of your brain that seeks reward and excitement just wants you to be happy! But it also has to be reeled in at times.#I realized in posting this I haven't posted any of my DE Skill designs before. I love drawing the skills.#Thank you so much for this ask - I will happily take any excuse to post more art of my special guys (DE skills included)#I actually drew all the FFS aspects with more DE skills but I got too sleepy to continue after 2 hours of trying to animate.#If people want to see the others I'll finish them up!

a deep blood moon, a starless night

dark enough to see the light

#something something he has the title of prince yet is treated like a commoner #callum holds a prestigious ranking due to his mother's marriage yet he is not the hier to the throne #im sure canonically he literally cannot care less specifically #but i like to think it factors into his struggles with finding himself #and his purpose in the world #this is a “we love ezran” household #but i cant help feeling callum has the vibes of a middle child despite being the oldest #while ezran is both oldest and youngest. burden of the crown yet still a child #the title of high mage gives callum his own kind of recognition #but it doesn't separate him from the title of prince #he's the first human mage to do primal magic yet only his inner circle recognizes how big of a feat that is #something something having a strong mind and heart with an untapped thirst for knowledge #everyone forgets about him so it gives him time to research all he needs #this was originally inspired by the vibes of “red moon” by will wood #puts my callum would listen to will wood if he existed in xadia badge #probs ¡Akido! (Neurotic / Erotic)#Williard!#Against the Kitchen Floor #and White Noise #in case i make it is a callum album overall tbh #late night ramblings #tdp #callum tdp #tdp fanart #the dragon prince fanart #the dragon prince callum fanart #the dragon prince #my fanart #my art #bobasalt

the fact that people still use the "no one would talk to a friend that way" "no one would grieve for someone like that if it was just platonic" etc arguments to prove a ship is canon is so annoying to me. yes i get it, we got queerbaited hard but where does it say that romance has to be higher than a friendship or no one said friends couldn't also be lovers or vice versa....? i normally say "popular media tropes that usually are for romance" when i talk about fiction but pulling a blanket statement like "NO ONE talks to a friend that way" is so invalidating to so much of our queer experiences. the beauty of queer friendship literally lies in the emotional fulfilment we get from our friends in a way that i don't normally see in cishet friendships for whatever reasons. so idk it's just been bothering me to see these kinds of posts every now and then. "you wouldn't do [x] for your friends" i would actually. i would sell my soul for them. i would kill for them and kill myself for them. i would do anything for my friends that i would do for a partner. the "proof" for a ship doesn't have to be by invalidating their friendship. also like aren't most of the ships so powerful when they're also each other's closest friends? do y'all not think of your partners as your best friends?

#sorry for the rant #i know that popular media tropes have changed our mindset on romqnce #it wasn't a thing in my country but now the dating scene is so westernised that it's the same here #im not saying people can't experience romance or friendship differently #in the context of queer people specifically i've noticed that most people struggle to differentiate between platonic and romantic feelings #and often feel a mixture of both or somewhere outside both #it's intense! Regardless #I'm also trying not to invalidate romance or people that experience it totally separately from friendships #but i genuinely wonder #do you stop being friends with the person you're dating #how does thay make sense #them not being your bestest friend?#anyways I'm aroace and in a qpr #maybe i'm just a little sensitive #but queer people also talking in a very heteronormative of looking at romance also confuses me #are we really putting a tag on how much someone grieves???#first of all human relationships dont work that way!!#there's no need to place them in different positions #it's not a competition #every relationship is unique to the two people involved in it #only they can categorize their relationship not outsiders
