someone once told me there is no demon more frightening than a good man who has gone to war.
someone once told me the only things we get to choose are a hero's death or a villain's life.
so they said. so they said. so they say.
but no one ever told me what happens when a good man goes to war and becomes the demon.
but no one ever told me you can die a hero and be resurrected to a villain's afterlife.

I love your unhinged energy of your comics it's just *chef's kiss"
I wanna ask how you rig your chibi characters if you use a program or an app ಥ‿ಥ
thanks! 💚💜💚
I use Spine (professional version)! I'm pretty sure it's the same program the Twst devs use for the chibis; I decided to try reverse-engineering 'em basically because my license was just sitting around gathering dust, and I thought it'd be fun practice (this was before I tried to rig Meleanor's cape). it is an industry-standard program and, unfortunately, is priced accordingly, so it's a bit expensive if you're not planning on using it professionally -- there is a free trial, though I think you can't save/export anything in it? BUT it is truly excellent and can do a ton of super cool stuff, plus is genuinely just fun to mess around in, so I 10000% recommend it to anyone who is serious about getting into 2D rigging!
behold...the BONES...Najma and her billion discrete tassels...don't pay attention to all the extra bones from my desperate attempts to control Meleanor's meshes
#art#of a sort#meleanor is in this one so here come the spoiler tags#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 5 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 5 spoilers#gif warning#gifs that will bounce their way into your heart warning#i used to be serious about 2d rigging but alas. not so much the animating.#i like making stuff! not actually using it! GOSH#but i used to make random little spine rigs just for fun#and honestly having an excuse to get back into that through twst chibis has been super fun!#if i want a small army of characters to bounce around then i can make it myself!#THE POWER...#god though i really need to redo che'nya again. he looks so off-model and weird.#you can definitely tell he's the first one i tried to make#do i have the fortitude to take a third attempt at him...#spineposting

i want a fic about them on my desk by thursday. capiche? /j
#blackleg is blacklegginggggg#sanji was destined to be a fave of mine bc he has shitty hair and long legs. that is quite literally all it takes#zosan#sanzo#my art#also if the number 12 has any significance in op i wouldnt know bc again i quite literally have not watched a single ep or read a single ch#i am just here for the gays#anyways luffy is the goalie on zoro's team (he knows and admires sanji bc ofc he does. he likes to try some of sanji's skating poses)#and nami owns the rink they all practice at#robin is the physical therapist/massage therapist zoro reticently ponders to abt his crus--rivalry. rivalry#in between trying not to scream bc holy fuck robin just dug her elbow into his glutes that he never stretches#twist could b zoro thinks robin only works for the team but turns out she works on sanji too (who is much better abt stretching but has som#sort of injury that knocked him out of competition while he recovers maybe) and he also prob talks about his cr-rival who thinks hockey is#harder than figure skating to her to. shes prob interchangable with chopper or maybe the pair work together#nami is probably a former figure skater but being a rink owner and skating instructor makes more money that competitions alone sooooo.....#i wish i had clever thoughts for the other strawhats but alas i do not. apologies usopp et al. i am not cool enough#edit: pls see @milfjf’s additional tags talking abt the other strawhats bc they’re RIGHT

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him.#it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself#note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown#when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’#idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is#and how much his persona is more an actor#Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out-#every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so#since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it#and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are#I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja#his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times#not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo#but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters#or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas)#like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily#it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do#like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero#All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius.#and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential#likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja#but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse#he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it#Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like#you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

“Regulus would be proud of us,” James whispered quietly to no one in particular, still gripping onto the painting like a life raft.

reflecting on seasons 3 and 4 of slow horses and i'd like to take a moment to appreciate how At Her Fucking Limit louisa guy is and for good reason. local woman who is isolated and very much alone and has just risked connecting with another person only to have that person brutally murdered now risks connecting with SECOND person only for that person to turn out to be god's least favourite court jester who keeps trying to also die on her. please give this poor lady two minutes of peace.
#gav gab#river for me i need you to go sit quietly in a safe room for a season#because if louisa has to think her favourite little guy is dead AGAIN#she cannot be held responsible for her actions#slow horses#louisa guy#river has the worst luck known to planet earth and keeps getting wrapped up in other people's dastardly plots#and machinations and whatnot and somesuch and he is the WORST PERSON#she possibly couldve picked as a best friend after losing min the way she did#alas. she did pick him. and now here he is. trying to die on her all the time.#anyways naturally that means now im writing a fic where she loses him for almost five months#and it is Fucking Horrible for her :)

+3 friendship with Jin Ling: He actively tries to dissuade you from further embroiling yourself in the homosexual allegations.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jin ling#jiang cheng#nie huaisang#For real though it's so sweet how desperate he sounds when trying to save mxy's face.#Jin Ling genuinely likes this uncle! He's let him into his heart!#Why his uncle is so desperate to make his reputation worse is beyond him!!!#The same uncle who has time and time again proven to be genuine in his intentions and has been there for JL in so many ways!#JL wants to return the favour! Alas it is like holding a dog back from eating the onion chips on the ground.#I sure hope nothing betrays jin ling's trust in this new bond!#(and yes I am keeping NHS and JC's sleep wear in the next scenes. For the whimsy)#In other news - LWJ finally gets a little hand hold. Most likely it was a highfive that lasted a little too long.#But it counts okay? To him it counts.#Speaking of: I went sooooo long in life not realizing the 'hee hee let's compare hand sizes' was a flirt move.#I thought people were just genuinely curious about fingers and hands. But no. It's not that. It's a hand hold move.#I'm here for the science and research. You are here to flirt. We are not the same.

"girls support girls-" okay but are you normal about queer women? are you normal about BIWOC? are you normal about disabled women? are you normal about autistic women? are you normal about fat women? alternative women? unattractive women? are you normal about women who choose not to shave their legs and armpits and faces? are you normal about butches and tomboys and masculine women? are you normal about trans women? are you normal about trans men? are you normal about nonbinary folk and people who lie outside the gender binary or renounce gender all together? are you normal about women who absolutely despise and detest the latest trends? are you normal about weird women who unsettle you with their interests? are you normal about women who don't wear makeup, who will never wear makeup, who openly dislike makeup and the makeup industry?
#ive seen a LOT of (usually white cis het) women and girls on instagram say shit like girls support girls and then turn around and shit on#women who dont follow trends#i really hate it when a woman posts about how they dislike [insert trendy thing here] and all of a sudden shes a pick me who doesnt like#other girls#ESPECIALLY when it comes to things like makeip#*makeup#its really pissing me off#this and the rise of the 'im just a girl' 'girl math' 'girl dinner' 'girlhood is-'#SHUT UP!!!!#WOMEN HAVE MANY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES!!!#if i have to see one more 'normalize femininity' post again im going to LOSE IT#alas i need instagram because i contact people from my school on there#me posts#edit: something else ive seen is just how prevalent white feminism has become#white feminism and blatent radfem rhetoric has just started being spread EVERYWHERE#like holy shit we are regressing

another day grinding nixtamalli in scenic tenochtitlan. and also my terrible nephew is here and as usual he is not helping.
#em draws stuff#oc time again hehe#⚬⚬⚬⚬⚬𐂂#once again it is my cringe teen son 5deer and also his cool aunt who exists now.#ideally I would render everyone's name in the same format for this story but for my sins there is no suitable unicode I like for some of#these characters' day signs. so 5deer will continue being referred to with 5deer or ⚬⚬⚬⚬⚬𐂂 and I will write out an approximation for the#additional characters. thus aunt here has the day sign 6 grass but will be referred to as malinalli#and the other girl from the sketchpage I did earlier is day sign 12 rabbit -> tochtli#if I was to apply this to 5deer himself he'd be just mazatl (ie. 'deer' without the 5) but eh whatever#o also. every time I draw 5deer he really wants to be smoking a cigarette but unfortunately they have not been invented yet.#alas for him. he needs something to do while he loiters about unhelpfully.#background's from the codex mendoza because I did not feel like drawing one wheeeeeeee
