#project sekai #pjsk #prsk #emu otori #proseka #tsukasa tenma #nene kusanagi #rui kamishiro #wxs #wonderlands x showtime #GUYS I AM PUTTING OFF WORKING ON MY COSPLAY SOMETHING STUPID. im tireddddd i like sleeepingggff i want to play and drawwwww #after work I literally ate a giant bowl of mac n cheese and climbed into bed. lifestyle choices of a 9 year old #anyways i want figure skaitng set. bad. PJSK HAS A WEIRDLY LOW NUMBER OF ACTUALLY WINTERY SETS... like 3. kind of.#i have some thumbnail sketches but im kind of stumped on composition for them. my idea was a nene focus set #(IF HER NEXT FOCUS ISNT PHANTOM OF THE OPERA THEMED INWILL DIE. BADLY. THEYRE GOING TO AN OPER AHOUSE. PLEADBR)#originally my idea was for nene to be biting a medal i was very sold on it bc i love nenes competitive side #however her outfit is so nice i want it to also be part of the art .. its heavily inspired by that one iconic eunsoo lim dress #from her somewhere in time program iirc. im really undatisfied with emus dress tbh my origimal idea was to give it a phoenix look #but a lot of the firebird/phoenix skating programs have very sleek dresses and i want emus to be fluffy. the balance is hard ..#and since i want her program song to be once upon a dream from sleeping beauty i swerved to make it look a bit like auroras ? but again #it definitely feels like the weakest of everybodys ... maybe i just love her too much and want her to look the best. sorry wxs.#tsukasas outfit is supposed to look like a shooting star. easy. program music moonlight sonata 3rd movement like from dazzling light. easy.#actually i like takahashi daisukes moonlight sonata program its a medley of the 1st and 3rd movement.. i think the calm at the beginning #is best. maybe smth like that.. for his card inhad him doing a haircutter spin but again. the outfits good i want the outfit visible. damn.#ruis the one im very set on even now. girl why are you so phantom of the opera.#it has a lot of beautiful programs to reference but the outfit i didnt really have any solid reference i kind of just balled #my main idea was to make it look a bit like both christine and the phantom.... gender Fluid.#my yapfest... i should be SEWING!!!!!!!!#despite my yapping im not that well versed in figure skating i cant really distinguish jumps i just like it . and medalist #i only do normal skating. bc i played hockey for like 7 years LOLLLL inlove skating though Heart.

#FINALLY FINISHED THIS WOHOO #Okay so #I have been keeping this small part of info secret for SOOOO long and it was so funny that JUST this week I got a ton of asks about #Wingdings' voice and I was SO tempted to talk about this little detail #BTW I DIDN'T FULLY MAKE THIS UP #i mean #Yeah I did #BUT IT IS BASED ON SOMETHING I NOTICED!!!!!!#When redacted talks in Wingdings the sound is clean #but when we listen to entry 17 (which is most likely a recording)#There's a VERY loud overlay of garbage noise #And so I was like #I could use this.........#like yeah a sound based on symbols?? we can't understand it! but our brains might do the work for us and maybe try to understand it?#but recording it goes very bad.....#I thought it was fun so I made it a hc for Gaster #and then I applied it here :D #lol #I think the pacing of this one is also a bit too fast but ehh #I hope it's clear #I am so proud of how I drew Alphys in these pages I feel like I am finally understanding her shape and how I want to stylize her #Sans is very good at reading people #He can tell when people are lying #that's why Wingdings didn't lie! he just conveniently forgot to tell him some details about what they found #okay yeah that's enough #TIME FOR THE TAGS #undertale #forgettable-au #forgettable-au-comic #sans

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

#and also. not the direct focus. but love doesn't make things good. you can be in love and do terrible terrible things.#people do bad things in the name of love and in despite of love all the time.#but!! imagine a world where people could exist as people and not be demonized.#sex positivity means being cool about All sex. reexamine your internal systems of moral judgement.#this goes for sex workers. for aroallo people. especially aroallo men. for aro people in general who might enjoy sex.#and frankly i think it can easily bleed into discussions about mental health disorders around 'not feeling' certain things #especially demonizing ppl who don't feel as much empathy. i think there's definitely a correlation between that and the emphasis on love.#our support needs to go out to Everybody and i think these things are all structured together in one way or another!!#it might not be immediately obvious but when i tell you it all leads back to amatonormativity..... little bit wild.... large bit wild....#anyway. horror movie psychopath 'oh he can't feel emotions or love' damn alright. well. let's take a closer look at that.#silly that there's an association between lack of love and Murdering. feel like that might affect some stuff.#love is just an emotion/a feeling it doesn't mean anything about you one way or another #same with empathy. you can feel it all you want but it doesn't inherently change the actions you choose to take #anyway. thesis statement. there is a socially constructed link between love and morality. unlearn that.#kiss kiss (<— lovelessly)#aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #talking #aroace #aspec #sex positivity

We are interrupting our regularly scheduled program to bring you a snippet of a potential ZoSan undercover as a married couple fic:

(Timeline wise shoehorned in sometime shortly after the timeskip, before the Strawhats make it back into the news big time.)

(People need saving from a exclusive circle of nobility, but most of the Stawhats have already been seen around the island, so the lot ends up on Zoro and Sanji to try get in posing as a freshly married couple on their honeymoon to try get more information.)

[after coming up with the plan and Zoro and Sanji hesitantly agreeing]

Robin: "You seem a little stressed, Cook-san."

Sanji, chain-smoking his third cigarette: "I'm fine, I'll do this… I just… I don't like lying about something as significant as marriage, alright? I know it's stupid, but that's just how I am."

Luffy, perking up from where one might have thought he wasn't paying attention at all: "Oi, Sanji, promise to protect Zoro?"

Sanji, puffing out smoke: "Obviously, the Marimo would get lost within all of two seconds without me having his back."

Luffy: "Good! Now, Zoro--!"

Zoro, already rising to the bait: "Oi, if anyone is protecting anyone, I'll be guarding your lanky ass, shit cook!"

Luffy, laughing: "Alright, then as the captain of this ship I hereby pronounce you married!"

Zoro:

Sanji:

Robin: "Oh my, congratulations!"

Brook: bursts into song

Luffy, grinning at Sanji: "See, now it's not a lie anymore, so you don't have to feel bad about calling Zoro your husband."

Zoro: "LUFFY!!! YOU CAN'T JUST--"

Sanji: wordlessly walks off to get ready for the mission

Usopp: "Wait, wait!" runs after Sanji, grabbing his wrist

Sanji: stares

Usopp, sweating nervously: "Need your ring size…"

Sanji: staring intensifies

Usopp, scurrying off as quickly as humanly possible: "Wedding gift!"

Luffy, in the distance, still being yelled at by Zoro: "Too bad we don't have time to celebrate, I really want some wedding cake… :("

#zosan #yes hello obviously i ship these idiots too #sanji actually makes use of his experiences on momoiro island and crossdresses for the sake of the mission #he's scary good at it too but no one asks for fear of sanji in a gorgeous dress kicking their heads off #maybe i have iva put them onto that mission in the first place simply because i think that would be funny #zoro is very confused but he won't have anyone claim he isn't treating his wife? husband? right even if its just for this mission #there's bed sharing; accidental cuddling; show kisses that feel too good; so so many endearments...#also zoro smoking with sanji because 'no fair woman of this status would ever be seen smoking moss head!'#zoro lighting one of sanji's cigarettes: 'you are a good wife indulging your new husband's bad vices then'#just zoro treating sanji every bit like he would a genuine partner and being stupidly endearing as he does #roronoa zoro #black leg sanji #monkey d. luffy #nico robin #one piece usopp #strawhat pirates #fake marriage #or is it?#one piece

#Final Fantasy XIV #FFXIV #Dawntrail spoilers #Erenvahl #Erenville #X'vahl Tia #wolship #This is the one I was talking about #when I said I was taking gpose shots in shifts #the amount of times I had to go back into this dungeon #because of maintenance or just the timer threatening to run down in the middle of posing #and then I decided I wasn't happy with several shots so I went back in to completely retake them #but it was for the best because I think this version is leagues better than the first takes #I feel like Erenville would be just so full of anxiety at this point #since he knows about his mom #and is struggling with coming to terms with that #and also he's upset with himself that he didn't tell X'vahl what was actually going on #since he sort of fell back on withdrawing himself to deal with his personal issues instead of bringing them up #and of course he's worried for all of them #He's just got *so much* on his mind at this moment #and it's just eating him up inside #I knew I wanted to do this part during my very first run through MSQ #*solely* because of Erenville's 'well done' after that boss #anyway X'vahl coming to terms with learning something about himself here too.#or rather continuing to learn and accept something about himself that he first learned during that bit with the escaped punutiy...#Erenville: *having a personal crisis* X'vahl: Yay he said I did good. :3c #Cahciua: Oh okay yeah he's got it bad for my son.

Bruce: now, for the last part of this meeting

Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Damian, Cass, and Duke: ?

Bruce: -turns around to bring up a power point presentation, the title card of which just reads 'Please Be Normal About Tim'-

Bruce: -turns back around-

Bruce: ...Tim why are you the only one still here

Tim: I just like power point presentations

#Jason keeps beating up Tim and then chasing him around trying to get him to join him #including AFTER Tim kicked him directly in the balls #he had a whole murder board about Tim when he was stalking him #Damian also keeps trying to beat up/kill Tim and prove he is the 'superior Robin'#Dick is generally pretty chill but he and Tim have a history of getting into shenanigans together #also Dick has a tendency to go a bit feral when Tim is involved and hurt #Stephanie once said Tim had a 'bad case of the Stephs' and while I love that for her absolutely not #Cass neither wants to kill Tim nor be romantically entangled with him #which is good!#but like Dick she also goes along with his plans without as many follow up questions as she should probably have #and by 'as many' I mean 'any'#she pretended to stab him through the chest to throw off a bunch of assassins #and I'm pretty sure she didn't question a single second of it #Tim just turned to her like 'I have a fake sword and I need you to pretend to kill me with it'#Cass just gave a thumbs up with no follow-up questions #Duke #my beloved #I know he and Tim don't interact much in canon #but in my heart I feel he would not be normal about Tim either #like regular ass Tim Drake figuring out Batman's secret identity and deciding to just become Robin because Gotham and Batman need it?#attaching rockets to a skateboard to get around?#coming up with insane and convoluted plans and consistencies that don't make sense to anyone else?#plans and contingencies that WORK?#Duke would see Tim as aspirational and go along with whatever insane bullshit nonsense he comes up with just to see what happens #he would 100% be down for whatever Tim has planned and would absolutely feed into it #he just wants to crank that little chaos gremlin up to eleven and watch him go #Bruce is desperate to keep them from interacting in any capacity for longer than thirty seconds at a time because HE KNOWS #HE KNOWS what will happen if they ever team up #it's why he put them on separate shifts #for the record Bruce ALSO had to sit through this presentation

Was thinking the other night that even though Kon Kusu is pretty chatty compared to Ri Kusu, on the whole it feels like he actually talks less. I think it's because Ri Kusu talks quite a lot about the Form, Truth, and Regret of the mononoke, while Kon Kusu had very little to say about it. Of course, that was also true of Ri Kusu in some arcs. I don't think it's a fault with Kon Kusu or the movie per se, but it does contribute to the feeling that even after seeing the movie, I still don't know Kon Kusu that well.

#mononoke #karakasa spoilers #I also feel like he needs to be put through the wringer a bit more #show us who he is when he's good and traumatized #hurt him real bad

lucanis truly has a near terminal case of burned out golden child syndrome. caterina fucked both of these kids over so incredibly bad with the dynamic she enforced there, with illario being labled the perpetual fuckup kid where lucanis 'could do no (would never be allowed to do) wrong'. the way he admits in the first coffee date scene that the only thing that happened when he showed he could carry the weight of expectation was that more weight was added makes me so sad. you can hear it in caterina's voice in his intro mission that she's incredibly proud of him, but this is clearly a leandra and hawke situation where that pride never translates into relief or resolution or unconditional warmth or understanding or anything that really helps.

#you messed up an excellent little autistic dude caterina look at him he has no personal life and his only friend is his scar-ass cousin!!#because that's what you told him he has to be and he believed you!!!#all that and you wouldn't even let him have a wyvern dagger just for fun and b/c it makes him SO happy? when i get you caterina dellamorte #I'm finding the crow family drama so compelling in this game I'm just hanging around treviso Observing haha #I wish they'd given illario a bit more nuance in this (as I feel he does have in the wigmaker job)#b/c with the sheer pantomime susness he's got going on they really don't want you to engage with him deeply haha #also teia mvp as always but I think that goes without saying (and happily all these lads around her seem to know it)#both lucanis and viago like 'thank you teia you're the best 🥺' and she's like 'yeah I know'#protective big sis of the remaining crow family haha. and she's got to be barely thirty years old at this point. I'm love her so much #'*annoyed voice* MAKER HELP US' she's saying what we're all thinking #dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #dragon age spoilers #lucanis dellamorte #I think my rook is having some uncomfortable moments of realizing some parallels here with their own relationship to the watchers haha #like 'buddy you're so much more than just a tool for your family to use. I however have a sacred duty I was banished from #the fulfilment of which determines my entire worth and that I am low-key mourning behind the levity b/c that's what I was made for. ...wait #I feel like rye was more the illario & lucanis combo only child tho. wants so much to be good but keeps getting into Shenanigans #chaotic underachiever with frankly upsetting potential when they actually get their act together and they WANT to so bad #but also. shenanigans keep happening. releasing blighted gods is only barely the wildest of them

Very messy scribble of a comic because they were on my mind (I doubt I’ll ever clean it up so I’m just posting it now so it doesn’t rot in my procreate files LOL)

#genzen #zengen #demon slayer #genya shinazugawa #zenitsu agatsuma #kimetsu no yaiba #genya x zenitsu #tanjirou kamado #tanjiro kamado #I’ve been feeling a very special type of sad lately so I wanted to kinda project that a little bit on my silly guys #I don’t often think about them in universe it’s always usually just modern au #I like to think that they were on good terms during hashira training #genya apologized for hitting him after they met up again from sanemis training #they spoke a little bit to each other at that point but after that it was mostly just #existing together during group hang outs #the whole group was preexisting already #genya just kinda would stand back and silently watch them have fun and banter #he never really felt like he belonged together with all of them #zenitsu also struggles with feeling like he doesn’t deserve to be apart of the group as well and will sometimes sit back with genya #they laugh together at inosuke and sit in a silence of mutual understanding #he doesn’t really show it but zenitsu is genuinely very torn up about hearing genya death #he missed his chance to be friends with the one guy he had the most in common with #he never got to see the soft side tanjirou would tell him about #if only they could’ve met before everything turned bad #if only they could’ve met in a world without demons #maybe they wouldn’t have turned out so bad if they had each other #maybe he would still be here if he had someone #zenitsu will forever beat himself up that someone as bad as him died when he himself lived #he didn’t deserve his second chance at life just as much as genya didn’t

DAY #12

>posting Achilles until he arrives at my doorstep.

well can't argue with that

#hello from halo head #there'll be a bonus panel if i feel like making it #do you think achilles knows what sin is #this ones a bit messy since i just cleaned up the sketch instead of doing lineart #also hi good news! as of 27th achilles is in my country #also bad news the said country is Not Great and i'll probably have to pay additional fees #if you saw me upload the version where chloe has her right eye open instead of left #no you didn't

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

#dbtag #I do not understand this writing it's so bad aklsdlkasjd #Toei wants Goku to be Clark Kent SO bad and he SO isn't lmao #they're so good and dumb and rounded and complex in the manga what is the anime so afraid of #Toriyama said 'no no this man is a detached faux-immortal who has a dear pure heart but he's childlike and selfish even though he's kind'#and toei went 'got it goku's never done anything wrong ever in his life'#toriyama said 'Vegeta's gone through a lot and he's finally settling into his more mature leadership role with the confidence he's earned'#and toei said 'got it vegeta has the confidence of a high school bully except now he can interact with his family as a comedy bit'#girl hWHAT #Toei trying to group Goku and Vegeta as two people who would rather train than be with their families and Toriyama said NO Vegeta wants #to be HOME this is the first time in years that he's HAD ONE and it makes him HAPPY to be with his wife and children!!#Vegeta trains so that he can protect the things he doesn't want to lose again and Goku trains because it's the thing that makes him happies #They are NOT the same lmao And yeah Vegeta still wants to beat Goku but he also knows that Gohan could dogwalk both of them if he wanted #He also knows Trunks and Goten are going to surpass them it's not about being the best anymore he's past that he just wants to Not Need Gok #He just doesn't want to have to rely on Goku to save the day he wants to be Enough on his own he just wants to know he can be #because every time it's mattered he WASN'T and people he loved were lost to his inability to protect them and he carries that #Like Whis diagnosed him with anxiety and cptsd out in the open and Beerus said he was self-centered for feeling guilt #+ he lowkey enjoys the rivalry it keeps him goal-oriented so he can't get complacent and lazy which is what triggered his Buu Saga breakdow #realized how Fucked Up it was that having a home and loving family made him feel like he was failing and went 'wait no I won actually??'#now he's chill as fuck in the manga. cool confident leader.#and sometimes he is childish and dumb with Goku as a treat #you know what rocks about his rivalry with Goku in Super though is that it's Playful. Vegeta is learning how to Play.#You ever seen a shelter dog get introduced to a really playful dog and it takes a minute for the shelter dog to understand it's safe here #And then they're both running around the backyard playing hot potato with one braincell?? That's Goku and Vegeta's relationship #and the way the anime sleeps on that dynamic is so fucking criminal especially when it's literally canon it's in print it's out there #you had the playbook how'd you fumble it this bad #anyway that's my 25+ year blorbo thoughts I love Geets a lot okay #And I love Goku in the manga a lot I'd forgotten that he's actually a great character when Toei's not fucking up his whole vibe
