A casual surprise?đŹđŹđŹ
#Hooooo boiii this lad is about to get funky.#He was internally screaming the whole time.#It's in my core memory as a connverse fan. I'm never truly going to let this up I believe. haha#Our boy really one day went out there wanting to get married as a teen like a true classic Disney princess. đ#It was honestly endearing but sad and also pretty embarrassing. đ#Secondhand embarrassment aside.

Good thing this can be chalked off as just a thing in their#fictional world.#Also I'm glad part of that was covered by Connie's body because I had to take a few notes from chat GPT to add in her enumerated rambling.#I had to make the glow bracelet float like that because I couldn't draw his hand holding it quiet right in that angle.#And yea that size difference is no error. That's how small Connie's wrist is compared to his hands. Or at least something like that.#comic

not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.
#for klavier because it's not as direct it's about how we never see him actually wearing lipstick? even though apollo literally attends#a concert of his which is where you'd most expect him to wear makeup. but apparently he just doesnt. or at least not in public#klavier gavin#kristoph gavin#i feel like there are several ways you can read into it. the misogyny/toxic masculinity one is really obvious clearly with kristoph's#singling out of men specifically and klavier's (probably accidental?) condescending manner of calling women 'fraulein' plus his general#mildly patronising attitude towards many of the women in the game (also probably unintentional)#(i think he's trying to be charming and it's coming off wrong to some of them. like ema. and me.)#but i feel like there's also maybe an element of... inherent perfecfionism to it? like both of these products are conventionally beautifyin#products and kristoph while he is open to showing people he uses nail polish specifically chooses one that's clear and missable unless you#see him apply it. he also feels the need to justify his use of it and specifically spell it out as something he chooses to do rather than#needs to do even though duh. that should be obvious.#idk there's just something about his seeming need to take control of that narrative that i find interesting. his need to spin it into a#'there's nothing wrong with my nails but I had the foresight to see that even the smallest parts of my appearance should be kept immaculate#and it's a choice i'm making to refine an already adequate part of my personage /not/ to cover some unsightly defect.' the need to emphasis#that specifically is so. hm. and with klavier i could see it being a case of him liking makeup liking the pops of colour yet being unwillin#to admit to it because he's afraid that other people might see it as him being dissatisfied with his own appearance regardless of if he is#or isn't. or even just perceiving colourful makeup as being unseemly because it's so overt and unnatural.#like i can see this as them both viewing 'real' beauty to be that which is inherent to a person and seemingly effortless#thus somehow negating the beauty which one achieves through cosmetics or other external means.#and if you want to use external means to achieve beauty or neatness or whatever then your only valid options are those which blend into you#natural state. like clear nail polish. or really awful spray tan.#i feel like klavier's less confined by these ideas (if they hold merit at all) considering he actually owns coloured lipstick and he wears#jewellery (admittedly quite 'masculine' jewellery no gems or pearls or anything like that but jewellery nonetheless) but i think it just#makes it more interesting that he doesnt seem quite able to cross the line anyway. like it's that ingrained into his system.#anyway that's all i've got. you guys should tell me what you think too#annotations

No but like every time I think about Splinter and what he had to go through just to keep the boys alive, my heart hurts for him so badly. Is he perfect? No not at all, but none of them are and by god does he love his sons.
The fact that all of them are alive, and grew to thrive despite the circumstances surrounding them is a testament of how much Splinter loves his boys. He raised four babies following the most traumatic time of his life, all alone with nothing but the sewers to house them (to hide them.) I feel like heâs not given the credit he deserves for all heâs done.
And I get that itâs easy to hold up his flaws and faults when it comes to parenting, I myself like looking into them because flawed characters are super interesting and said flaws make them more realistic and engaging, but he tries, and again, so many others would have given up on the boys or failed along the way but Splinter didnât.
Heâs their father, for all his faults he did his damndest to make sure they survived.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt splinter#rise splinter#heâs not perfect as Iâve said#and heâs got a whole slew of flaws and faults#but heâs a person - we are all flawed#he loves his sons dearly dearly dearly even if he struggles along the way to show that#parenting is not easy! especially as a traumatized mutant who is forced to do it alone#side note but I think this is one of the reasons why it kiiiiiinda ruffles my feathers to see so many people assign parentification to Raph#and in turn make Splinter out to be way worse and way more distant than he is in canon?#like idk I just donât see what so many others see ig but maybe thatâs just me#i guess my thoughts are like- let parents have flaws without villainizing them?#theyâre still parents even if they mess up?#we can discuss the repercussions of a parents actions on a child while not casting that parent as an awful person#parents are peopleeee#I could go on but yeahhh#idk it bothers me seeing splinterâs efforts undermined when heâs been through so much#idk if ppl realized this by now but I love me some flawed characters#tho I do think in this fandom the ones whose faults are discussed the most are like#Splinter mostly then Draxum then Leo#of the main cast#and in Splinters case in particular his faults are made to cover his good qualities which makes me sad#because he is SO INTERESTING#theyâre all flawed characters and tbh so interesting because their flaws are ALSO their strengths in many aspects

OVERANALYSIS OF THE BURNING SPICE UPDATE TRAILER BECAUSE YOU KNOW I HAVE TO
we open up like this. pretty ominous words ... and you wonder which one is the demon and which is the god. burning spice and golden cheese seem to be very similar, possibly the most parallels that one could draw from the ancients and their respective beasts.
And then we get this shot. Obviously it's showing the soul jam, but there are also some things behind it. One resembles a snake ... APOPHIS ANYONE? this has THE most Egyptian mythology symbolism ever. if golden cheese represents ra, which makes one hundred percent sense considering her kingdom and wealth and radiance and all that, and the fact that she resembles a falcon, then the snake on this wall HAS to represent apophis. it can't not. heck, in some versions of the story apophis was A FORMER SUN GOD. like crk def knows what they're doing.
there's also this tiger character ... nutmeg tiger I'm pretty sure? something like that. they seem to be under the influence of burning spice, as well as all the creatures around them. they seem to be at a higher "position" than all these other guys, though. maybe a willing host?
and there is this. this is really interesting. the fact that Golden Cheese is the one to say this is very intriguing. as far as we knew, the ancients had no knowledge that the beasts even existed until pure vanilla's trip. he wrote the letter to dark cacao, and it was all "you won't believe this - but the place called BEAST-yeast has BEASTS in it!!!" and dark cacao was equally surprised. they didn't know. they thought they were the first ever wielders of the soul jam. but golden cheese ... seems to know a bit more than she lets on to the rest of the group. and a bit more than us. what the heck is the spice swarm?
also, the return (and release) of smoked cheese!! man I missed this guy. he seems to be working with golden cheese in this shot, but then what was his little deal at the end of the first teaser about? it does make sense, though, that he would try to at least be against burning spice - his entire goal is to get the soul jam because he thinks the current wielders aren't worthy - but to me it seems like he might have his own third side in this battle. he'll probably convince both sides he's working with them, knowing this dude. he wants the power of abundance and destruction, a second half he knew nothing about, the ability to make a change in the kingdoms and the lives of everyone in them.
and these two images are probably the most interesting of them all. they seem to be part of some sort of ancient papyrus or prophecy or something like that. golden cheese is yelling about the "great destroyer." could it be possible he was some sort of legend in their kingdom, a prophecy just waiting to unfold? could golden cheese have known about this threat since the beginning? could the beasts' corruption have been inevitable from the start, written in the stars ... and could the witches have known about it?
#im way too hyped for this update actually#if you couldn't tell#burning spice's ability to bring others under his influence is a CRAZY power tho. I thought that would be more of shadow milk's thing#but its kinda unclear HOW burning spice's power works.#and that nutmeg tiger or whatever their name is ... what's THEIR role in all this?#and this isn't even the entire trailer!!! I covered like four frames!!! THERE'S SO MUCH!!!#anyways super excited to pull burning spice first try as an f2p#hey look. I did it w/ wind archer. twice. I got mystic flour on my first 50. it's POSSIBLE.#buuuut if there's anything I want it's shadow milk.#anyways SUPER EXCITED FOR OCTOBER!!#âTHE GREAT DESTROYER!!â whaaaat does that mean?#also one more thing: this doesn't seem to be taking place IN beast-yeast? it looks like we're just at the fallen gc kingdom#do we go there eventually? what's goin' on?#the fanartists will be going craaazy (including myself)#crk#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#beast yeast#burning spice cookie#smoked cheese cookie#golden cheese cookie#also that whole Egyptian mythology thing is INSANE. I love mythology it drives me nuts about everything when im able to make a connection.

Eugene is proven to be bad at buying furniture for himself, so it only stands to reason heâs equally bad at getting rid of it.
#drawtectives#eugene finch#drawfee#GOD this GUY#I know he can still see Felix and stuff but having a ghost/robot cat is completely different than having a physical living cat#heâll never hear meowing from the other room#or scratches at his door#or the pitter patter of little feet#itâs all gone#also itâs subtle but both eugene and the cat tree are covered in orange cat hair#because Iâm evil

Some more spy x family one piece crossover doodles :)
A fic may or may not be in progressâŠâŠ.
Edit: the fic is posted :)
#one piece#spy x family crossover#portgas d ace#revolutionary sabo#sabo#monkey d luffy#loid forger#yor forger#anya forger#ok so I chose the last name Brenner for ASL as a cover because theyâre all very fire coded#thanks to the person that commented eclipse as a WISE codename for sabo it fits really well#aceâs assassin codename is fireball after the fireball lily. wanted something subtly flower themed but also fire related#Spider-Man pointing meme happens between ace and yor when theyâre given a joint mission and see each other as assassins for the first time#lots of ideas on the dynamic between loid and saboâŠâŠ#the ideological difference of sabo being willing to give up everything including spywork for his brothers#whereas loid has given up everything including his past and identity for spy workâŠ. because he didnât have a choice in it#because so much of his past was taken from him and not willingly given up so his motivation for being a spy is so strongâŠ.#sabo responds the only way he knows how to to loidâs animosity by yknow. being a little shit and a gremlin at him

Recently I have been thinking about what could have happened to Midoriya's All Might card and I have came to the conclusion that he done already had it encased and safely tucked away somewhere because YOU KNOW FOR A FACT HE DID!!
Which brings me to this continuing thought that when Bakugou got his card signed, Midoriya was like "be right back" and just brought out the card to also be signed and while All Might is in tears that two of his biggest fans who were also his students and kids he came to care about a bunch wanted him to sign the cards, Bakugou is like "you kept the card".
And with the most serious face, Midoriya just says "Kacchan, you should know by now that I don't joke around when it comes to my merch collection. It's my All Might card that I got with you. Of course, I kept the card"!
#if he carries it around you know Midoriya already had it in some protective covering#which brings me to question... so did the blood (katsuki's) like come off the card or what?#we know Midoriya doesn't play about his all might merch#he'd probably break someone's arm over it you never know with that wild feral green bean#i do feel like he also has bakugou beat in that department I'm sorry that is the one thing bakugou couldn't and wouldn't attempt to do#have more all might and other hero merch than Midoriya#he's competitive but not that competitive#just kiya's thoughts#bnha#mha#boku no hero academia#my hero academia#midoriya izuku#izuku midoriya#bakugou katsuki#katsuki bakugou#bakudeku#all might

Why do you think the tides have slightly turned from "Elia deserves better than Rhaegar" to shipping her and Rhaegar together? Like what is the psychology behind these people because I've seen some of them like/reblog anti Rhaegar posts while also shipping Rhaegar x Elia at the same time.
hey anon! my thoughts are a bit messy, but iâve done my best to explain them coherently :)
so, rhaegar was the best man anyone could have when elia was alive, and most people want the best for their favs. he was considered the most handsome, didnât have a bad personality, and he was crown princeâmeaning elia was almost queen, which is often seen as the greatest role a woman can have. the narrative also treats rhaegar as a beautiful, tragic, haunting figure, and elia actually had this very aesthetically pleasing man all to herself at one point! she was married to him, had children with him, and her life was so close to perfect! but rhaegar just had to go and ruin it. đ
for many elia stans, if rhaegar hadnât fallen in love with another woman (they want him to have been a completely different character), then everything wouldâve been perfect, and elia wouldâve had the best, most desirable life. however, thatâs not what happenedâelia met a very tragic end, and as a result, these stans feel double the bitterness. because of this bitterness, they blame rhaegar for everything (even though itâs not logical to do so), but heâs just too âperfectâ to let go of. so, for years these stans have made rhaegar revolve around elia, filling his tag with posts about her out of bitterness. so, i do believe that this obsession with rhaegar x elia has always been there, but i think itâs become a more favorable stance on the elia stan side of the fandom because of a mix of reasons.
plus, rhaegar is one of the few canon relationships we know elia had, since sheâs not much of a character. because of this, and the fact that most people donât like to stray too far from canon, most elia stans are forced to focus on rhaegar, which has created an echo chamber. basically, if a sentiment about elia and rhaegarâs relationship becomes popular, then the whole elia stan side of the fandom will likely regurgitate the sentiment. (also, this desire to stick close to canon is likely why the elia x arthur ship was so popular. while itâs a total crack ship, it had good aesthetics, and since elia and arthur at least knew each other, it allowed the stans to create their perfect fanfiction whilst sticking it to rhaegar. but remember, elia was actually married to rhaegar and had children with him, so while arthur is cool, rhaegar was always âtop dog,â meaning arthur would never be able to match up to rhaegar to most elia stans. also, the arthur x elia crack ship is likely her second most popular ship, which just shows how little elia stans have to work with, so theyâre always forced to eventually return back to rhaegar for a lot of things.)
however, even if the elia x rhaegar ship gains more popularity, these stans will never stop hating rhaegar because he wasnât âperfectââand he wasnât perfect because he didnât love elia. plus, rhaegar loving another woman and supposedly kidnapping her is what began the war that led to eliaâs tragic death. thatâs bitterness times 1000. and while i donât actually blame rhaegar for the war, i do think that this is how an elia stan sees it. i also donât view rhaegarâs complex relationship with elia as a bad thingâitâs actually a very realistic take on an arranged marriage between two decent people. but most elia stans will never be able to get over the fact that they almost had everything, which is why many have it out for lyanna, as they consider her a thief who ruined their âperfection.â
tbh, that might be why so many elia stans are so obsessed with the idea that rhaegar only got with lyanna because of the prophecyâthey donât want to believe that rhaegar actually loved a different woman and not their perfect self insert elia. thatâs a bit mean of me⊠but i donât know what else one would call the âeliaâ elia stans have created.
now that iâve laid all those thoughts out, iâll try to explain why the tides seem to be turning⊠i think it may have something to do with the âtargaryens are all evil and badâ sentiment losing popularity. i think this shift has occurred due to a mix of factors, such as years of fandom fights and fandom cycles leading to the targs being more liked now than before. it helps that canon doesnât actually condemn the targs/favors them quite a bit, and the influx of new targ fans from HOTD has also contributed. this combination of reasons seems to have shifted the way the mainstream fandom discusses all the targaryen characters, including rhaegar. so, with this shift, itâs only natural that some elia stans/elia x rhaegar shippersâwhoâve always been thereâare using this opportunity to push their agenda. while these stans still hate rhaegar and see him as the bad guy, they just canât let go of him. and as the mainstream fandom moves away from the anti targaryen sentiment, these smaller corners of the fandom, which tend to be echo chambers, are also affected, which has therefore led to a rise in rhaegar x elia shippers and the âshifting tideâ that youâve also noticed.
#âif only rhaegar did thisâ is a very common sentiment amongst elia stans#most stans have always had the âif onlyâ mindset#âif only elia survivedâ easily leads to âif only rhaegar didnât run off with his whoreâ as the targs become less hated#itâs kinda a pipeline? rhaegar anti plus elia stan leads to rhaegar x elia shipper who still hates rhaegar#another reason that a lot of this happens is because elia and the martells plus dorne are the good âothersâ a person can like#while the targaryens are the âbad othersâ one can safely hate as theyâre white & have a bit of demon symbolism + come from an âevilâ empire#the targs also ruled over everyone so a lot of fans like pushing all the blame onto them for all the problems#however the targs are cool and theyâre hot af and being royalty is the best! so theyâre the âbad othersâ one can safely hate#but people still want their aesthetic and want their favs to have what the targs had. all the cool magic + the aesthetic + danys monikers#so people can convince themselves that itâs okay and logical and right to hate the targs but most ppl will still connect their favs to them#of course⊠things have been shifting in the fandom which iâm very happy about#and all of these sentiments are combined and compressed when it comes to rhaegar and elias relationship#so any big shift on how the fandom views the targs will always affect the way rhaegar and elias relationship is viewed#it just so happens that the targs arenât the evil dragon nazis anymore so itâs kinda okay for elia stans to ship him with her#iâm not gonna go through my tags and make sure they make sense so iâm simply hoping for the best#anyways⊠i hope i didnât digress too much. i just found this shift so interesting so i couldnât help myself#asoiaf fandom critical#anti elia stans#rhaegar targaryen#anti rhaegar x elia#house targaryen#valyrianscrolls#pro rhaelya#lyanna stark#rhaegar x lyanna#anon ask#thanks anon this was a fun topic to cover#i recently found a really old post about both elia and lyanna and boy⊠it was quite discusting to read#elia stans kinda cycle from âelia deserved better x crack ship with shallow aestheticâ back to elia x rhaegar while shitting on rhaelya#just know that rhaegar is always the bad guy to them! the sentiment on lyanna will go from hot to cold but rhaelya is always bad as well!

Back at it again with another theory: What if Lucanisâ betrayal wasnât a betrayal at all?
(obviously, spoilers below the cut)
During The Wigmaker Job, we have some dialogue between Illario and Lucanis about their position within both the Crows and the Dellamorte family. Illario wants Caterina to step down so he can take the coveted First Talon spot. Lucanis reassures him that his time is coming, to which Illario makes a snide comment about whether his cousin would ever go against their grandmotherâs wishes. When they continue the conversation after the job, Illario states that Lucanis is the potential heir, that heâs her favorite, and that heâs unlikely to say no to her. Lucanis doesnât argue, only insists that he doesnât want to be First Talon, and that he hopes sheâll see reason before that. Itâs mentioned again in Eight Little Talons - Caterina favors Lucanis. Itâs well-known enough among the Crows that Viago and Teia discuss it in front of her (not on purpose, but she doesnât deny it). Heâs her prodigy through and through.
In the opening scene for the Lucanis quest in Veilguard, Caterina is poised, as youâd expect of the First Talon. Sheâs certain that the body they buried wasnât her grandson, that it had been altered with blood magic. She doesnât pose it as a theory, though: she poses it as a fact. It could, of course, merely be her confidence, but thereâs another very unusual aspect to the scene â everyone else discusses how Lucanis was clearly betrayed, that someone must have sold him out in order for the Venatori to capture him. Caterina is the only one in that room who never speaks on it. She doesnât ask for justice, doesnât mention vengeance, never acknowledges that her grandson was sold out by someone he trusted â perhaps because he wasnât.Â
What if, when Caterina comes to him with a plan, with an impossible request, heâs still her favorite prodigal grandchild, and he still does whatever she asks? Sheâs had him tortured before as a child, has tortured and starved and beaten him herself before, because it makes him stronger and more resistant to it in the future. He says in The Wigmaker Job that he used to hate her for it, but now he understands. He justifies it. All Crows justify it, because they have to - if they donât, then the cruelty wasnât for survivalâs sake, and their suffering meant nothing. Perhaps he doesnât even question it. When Caterina tells him that she has a job for him, he takes it.Â
What if the contract has a caveat? Sure, Calivan must die by his hand by the end of it, a little treat for a job well done, but what if his primary mission is reconnaissance, is discovery? The Venatori are using blood magic to torture and corrupt prisoners. It would behoove the Crows to find out what it entails and how to resist it, before itâs turned back on them. It would have to be someone so deeply, unabashedly loyal to her that when she asked them to infiltrate a Venatori prison, expecting torture at best, their own death at worst, theyâd take the job anyway, no questions asked - someone Caterina can trust, certainly, but also someone who has never once said no to her.
And Lucanis has always been a loyal grandson.Â
#lucanis dellamorte#dragon age: the veilguard#datv#datv spoilers#veilguard spoilers#da posting#maybe itâs also just because she thinks it would make him stronger and thatâs how she always justifies it to herself because sheâs evil!!!!#sheâs MICRODOSING her GRANDSON with BLOOD TORTURE and DEMONS to fashion him into A BETTER WEAPON#I keep hearing people be like âoh thereâs a moment in the lucanis storyline where I GASPEDâ#and other than like âhe was dead the entire timeâ Iâm likeâŠâŠ what would be that shocking#and you know what would be that shocking??#if he put himself through it on purpose#envisioning a line where heâs like âwhen Caterina told me to go I didnât ask questions because Iâm a good crow!!!!!â#(also I think that would REALLY give a good bite to his demon being SPITE of all things)#also also I still think that Illario kills caterina (if sheâs actually dead) but yâknow what?#if he does GOOD FOR HIM#also lucanis just happening to be bursting out of his cell when you get thereâŠ. SUSPECT#was he just ready to break out at any time? if so why did he stay and get tortured for a YEAR?#why were the guards so afraid of him?? what was he capable of???#âyouâre a crowâ or âbut youâre not a crowâ ohhhh so you were expecting a rescue?#oh I am CONNECTING the DOTS (I havenât connected shit) IâVE CONNECTED THEM#voelene#your caterina + illario post started these wheels turning and I am eternally grateful#also tho did update this slightly because I forgot about their conversation at the end of TWJ#also got so wrapped up in my hatred of caterina that I failed to consider another emotionally devastating option:#that lucanis was the one who wanted to go and caterina covered for him#now THATâS got some bite to it too#and maybe Lucanis volunteering to take on a demon is why it doesnât possess him fully#itâs like a wynne/anders thing itâs symbiotic

#lobotomy corporation#lobcorp#yesod#yesod lobcorp#elijah carmy n gio are there too but barely visible fue to lighting im not tagging them#lobotomy corp spoilers#lobcorp spoilers#meltdown đ„đ„đ„ god this one had me struggle so hard to do it. its sloppy w shadding and there are errors. tis fine. im noy fixing#three days total? one for sketch and notes other for line art of bodies last for objects and coloring. hurt. yowch . anyways talking abt it#yesods meltdown form looks so slimey. like saliva. expunged from the form after he had gotten so sick to the point of having bile rise#keeping it short bc my brain is fried (short by my standards). wanted to have him crawling out or being dragged into the middle. strangled#and bound by the material wrapping the body. the uhh key which is barely visible. wanted to have the floor melting from l corps to the old#lab in the outskirts. bullet holes that are also barelt visible (sorry for u james being gun down sounds like ass). expunging/censoring of#information that spurred the meltdown. obvious corpses but also the death of carmen and having to use and build upon the hurt and body of#another for the sake of progress and continuing to get results paired w elijahs which further helped to spur upon the obsession with rules#and his decent paired w the human experimentation (more hurt of another for comfort of another) on giovanni. wanted to have him look not#fully there? yesod that is. plus gabriel. despondent seems far more scary that vivid emotions especially for someone like him#uhh wanted elijah's arm and hand to not be there but the sleeve to be therrle bevauseshe desolved and the sort. didnt end up adding the#blood and other liquids upin her sleeve though. not fixing allat#right obligatory examination table reference. mash up of everything that isnt cohesive but more of a mush of all the bad no good#also a feeling of isolation? dont know if i got that right just checked my notes. the only thing i can say that got it was the soul point#in the middle along with the fact the rest are either covered facing away or further down#... yeah im not going to claim it all was intentional for that part it wasnt done very well#angela carmen piece time. it is significantly more simple...
