The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates shouldâve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.
#itâs just???#at the end of the day all these people want to do is draw and write their stories and share them with the world#why is death from stress the end game for so many of them#this should not be part of the package when finally deciding that this is what you want to do with your life#rambling#I still never got over miuraâs passing man#and Togashi is still here but heâs been suffering from the consequences of overwork#itâs just⌠all so bleak#fans just need to learn to be patient if these changes are ever made and to be respectful#your fav series is not gonna die just because you canât get it right now#Iâm glad that gege does this now like he takes a break every 2-3 chapters and thatâs good#this should be normalized

wolfpack. aka: if not friend, then why friend-shaped?
"Hey-- uh, Danny?" There's an almost imperceptible tremor in Tucker's voice.
Danny doesn't look up from what he's doing, his pencil scritching across his notebook as he tries to do another quadratic formula question. "Hm."
"What's -- uh -- what's with the dogs?"
He looks up now, and finally sees where Tucker is -- standing in the doorway of his room with an ashy look on his face and a skewed, nervous smile. He's got a white knuckle grip on the doorknob. Sam is wide-eyed behind him, and using him as a partial meat-shield.
Danny looks down to the two giant ghost wolves sprawled next to him lazily. One large green one with his head in Danny's lap, letting him use him as a prop-up for his notebook. Another equally large black one splayed against his hip, sleeping on her side with her head tilted inward to his calf.
Automatically, a grin tilts across Danny's face, and he lifts his notebook up to scratch behind the green one's ears. He opens a lazy eye, one that is bloody red with a ring of yellow around the pupil, before slipping it shut and leaning his head into Danny's touch. "This is Sirius and Procyon," he says, and reaches down to scratch Sirius' belly. "And they're not dogs, they're wolves."
"Great," Tucker says, his voice suddenly much smaller and faint, "Love that distinction."
Sirius makes a great big groan, and Danny's grin widens, his heart swelling with fondness. His hand slips away from her belly, and before he can put his notebook back down, Procyon pushes his head up his lap until his ear is against his stomach, demanding pets now too.
Sam peeks her head up from over Tucker's shoulder, "I think what Tucker's asking here is what are they doing here, Danny."
He shrugs, scratching under Procyon's chin. "They kinda just showed up. I tried sending them back to the Zone, but they keep returning." And they were weirdly intent on just following him around, which is the only reason he gave up on returning them. They weren't causing trouble, and they knew how to hide around the living. Plus, he just loves dogs. "So now I have two wolves living with me."
This, oddly enough, did not do anything to calm Sam and Tucker down. Tucker's mouth purses into a thin line, and he presses the sides of his palms to his lips in prayer. "How have your parents not found out about this?"
Danny wordlessly raises his hand, and his sleeve slides down to reveal a thin chain bracelet hooked around his wrist. He whistles sharply, and both Procyon and Sirius jerk their heads up to look at him, ears pricked up and eyes alert.
Silently, he points to his wrist and rattles it twice, and in unison both wolves stand up and pounce. Instantly, they turn into a respective, opaque black and green mist that swirls around the bracelet and forms into two, flat wolf charms.
Both wolves are posing in the stereotypical wolf howl, with little stars indented on the sides. Procyon's charm has the Canis Minor constellation engraved on it, while Sirius has the Canis Major.
Danny faces Sam and Tucker, and points at his wrist. "Like this."

So yes I have OF COURSE read @naffeclipse new fic Apex Polarity and yes, I AM OBSESSED!
So I decided to make a little comic of how I think their "first encounter" might have looked like from Eclipse's perspective.
I can't help but think about how alien and scary we most look to him (especially if there is a history of fasco hunting polar sirens in the past). With all that gear we look like emotionless beings, just observing and uncaring of this ice world. But then when y/n shows up and probably exudes this joy and wonder for his world + shows respect for the creatures and the environment??? Mmh yeah, I can see Eclipse falling for y/n, especially considering how alone he might be...
So yes, that's what I have for today! If you want to read the fic I'll link it right here. I can't recommend it enough, but as always, read the tags so you know what you're getting into! And lastly I also want to @themeeplord beacuse Eclipse's design is basically their design in my style (god I love their design so much, their character/creature designs are the BEST) so all the credit goes to them! Polar!Y/N is my design thou! ;P
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read the two latest chapters-
YIPPEE!!!
#apex polarity#orca!eclipse#polar y/n#dca#dca fandom#I am once again plagued by the terrible ramble disease#but I got thoughts and I wanna share them >:/#so here are some more:#when I say the humans look alien I mean Grey alien level alien#Emotionless face? Check. Big empty eyes? Check. Studying and probing the inhabitants? Check. Possibly abducts inhabitants? Check#or mad scientist vibe#imagine professor Membrane from Invader Zim while he's saying 'I know better know' <- that kind of vibe#ok- one last thought!#as you can see- I decided to go full out and try coloring and stuff!#and one of the reasons why I decided to do that is because I'm not well practised in those departments- but I want to get better at them!#so if you think this looks like a hot mess- it's because they are XD#but with all this considered- I think I did pretty well!#So I hope you enjoyed it! XD#Now I'm giving all of you who's read ALL OF THIS a giant gold star#because wow- you're dedication and focus is absolutely INSANE and I appreciate you taking the time to read this#NOW GO AND BE FREE MY FRIEND!!!

i love your dirk drawings sooo much. the way you mix realism vs stylized in your dirk art goes crazy hard especially. both of your styles are so good so seeing them both used as symbolism to paint the broader picture is awesome as hell
Thank you very much, I do enjoy realistic Dirk & flat Dirk contrast too because to me both styles represent different facets of his character depending on the artwork.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3d6b24ac5bd0f42e5ec85cac47f9ecdc/85cc9f51f25bbbab-6d/s540x810/0112e3c804c6dd405a8dbb8596ea7400e1c44dc7.jpg)
His stylised form is more representative of who he is generalised as + a good representation of his separation from himself whereas a more realistic Dirk (to me) makes me feel more in touch with his character and it feels more emotional and less controlled. Even though it kind of sounds pretentious to put it this way, I view my less cartoonish Dirks as showcasing something more private and I tend to veer towards it the more emotional (positive or negative) the piece is for this reason.

#Plus some part of me believes it wouldnât be fair on him to nail him down to one design.#He is Dirk. He is *all* the Dirks. You get it#Iâm glad people notice shit like this though⌠haha.#A lot of my artworks have their own established meanings in my head but I never care to share#because I think it connects with more people if you leave art up for interpretation. You decide#Although I have discussed the thoughts behind some of my DirkJake pieces on servers before. But that is about it#Like always I could expand on this but I need to stop talking seriously. Iâm embarrassed and shy#anyways#thank you for sending. Iâll keep it up#ask#Iâve been getting so many asks recently. Trying to stagger them to not spam my page#but it is hard. I want to respond to them all immediately

Halloween dress-up, let's go!!!
Assignment: "Dress up as ghosts".
Status: Yes. They're ghosts. Just really different types of ghosts
#fanart#danny fenton/m'gann m'orzz#spearmint ship#i love them so much#yes M'gann is a White Lady#and before anyone hypothetically comes at me saying that White Lady should be all just white/have black hair but i have my reasons#in universe is: they decided to dress up ânormal wayâ and it turned out that M'gann as a Martian was allergic to most make-up products#and in the end she threw some flour on her face and called it a day#and the meta reason is: I haven't drew Megan enough to believe she'd be recognizable with different hairstyle and without her color pallette#anyway#i love White Lady ghosts#like i can't even express how much i love them like aesthetically#and from the backstory standpoint#they're just neat imo#they're also really popular in Poland (my beloved motherland *patriotic sounding eagle noise because eagle is National Emblem of Poland :D*)#like you can trip on them#nearly every caslte has either White Lady or some cursed knight or *both*#and we have a lot of castles (though not a lot with original decor because fucking Red Army; sorry it makes me emotional)#but like to emphasise how many White Ladies we have#my uni's main building has one and it's not even a castle anymore#her story is really cool too#it involves Iron Maiden patricide and in some versions a lovestory#it also won't derail this post but I'd love to share it if someone is interested#halloween#happy halloween#dpxdc#dp x dc#dc x dp#wandixx arts#have a nice day dear stranger who got to this part

Odysseus is the type of guy who oozes rizz and can and will say the sweetest shit to Penelope and revels in her being happy with it ("You're beautiful in red" when she blushes. THAT type of cheesy bullshit. Have you READ the shit he says to her in the Odyssey?) but if she gives it back, he just freezes and Odysseus.exe stops working. Especially since he was the one doing all the flirting in the beginning until she finally chills out and "allows" herself to have a crush.
Penelope: ...You know, I don't really know if your name fits you. Odysseus: Oh? You don't think "Pain in the ass" is a good fit? Penelope: It definitely is...But...I don't know. Maybe it's because when I think of you, I don't think of pain, I think of joy... Yeah, instead of "pain giver", you're a giver of joy."Joy Giver" perhaps? Odysseus:

Penelope: ...Are you okay? Odysseus: *completely red and continues to make a high-pitched squeaking sound like air being let out of a balloon*
He gets more used to it as they get further along in their marriage but in the beginning, this guy was screaming into his pillows and kicking his feet and twirling his hair and being stupid :D
#He's like one of those huge ass frogs that stand up all weird and just screech âREEEE" whenever she gives affection back at first#He's âdeadâ. His soul has left his body#âUgh.

â¨đ¸ Sunshine on your skin, flowers in my soul đ¸â¨
đđŤ§Summary â In the midst of his reconciliation with Team Wish, Dusknoir begins coughing up flowers. This unfortunate brand of bad luck should be a cosmic joke. A spiteful punishment that the world has brought down on him out of malice, out of vengeance for his past deeds. A cruel, agonizing curse manifested with the single unjustified purpose of preventing him from realizing happiness, ever seeking redemption, ever righting his multitudes of wrongs and moving on with his life. But that's not true, and he knows it deep down. Knows it in the very core of his soul like the flood of petals building in this throat.
This is his fault because he is a coward, and that's all he has ever been. A backstabbing, lonely coward.
And now he is going to die because of it.

#kirby#kots#kirby of the stars#kirby fanart#hoshi no kirby#meta knight#Kirby meme#ok i lied im going to give you the context but this is just between you and me ok#don't tell anyone#we're whispering like it's a sleepover and we don't wanna wake up the parents#this was originally a metadede comic where Queen Ripple came to visit Dreamland#and i like to think meta knight feels insecured about the adventures he wasn't in aka 64 and triple deluxe#so he is kind of moody all the time and magolor makes it worse by poking him about it#dedede kind of wants to be alone with queen Ripple because they're pen pals and they share their possessed stories#and meta knight is so pissed because it's just a side of dedede he doesn't know and he doesn't like it#but he would rather eat his own shoe than actually admit he has emotions#i made like 6 complete pieces around all of this concept but i didn't like them and I'm kind of embarrassed#so i decided to post this without context#and now you know too...

Extremely hot take that many will no doubt have knee-jerk reactions to, but I gotta get it off my chest.
I think people can choose to be queer, and thatâs okay.
I think there are people who maybe feel only a tiny incongruity with their contemporary social constructs of attraction and gender, and they could just ignore it and continue on as a Sorta Weird cishet person for the rest of their lives and feel perfectly content. And i think there are some people who feel the same degree of incongruity and lean into and decide that the amount of weird they are is Queer, and thatâs what makes them happy! And neither is the âwrongâ choice.
I think the impulse to insist itâs not a choiceâthat all queers are queer because some deep biological, unchangeable factor makes them queerâis totally understandable! I think that itâs understandable to be afraid of conservatives twisting this to mean itâs possible to brainwash people into being queer, and thatâs a scary political prospect.
But refusing to acknowledge that queerness can be a choice also feels like a trap. Because queerness acknowledges that queerness can change. Your particular flavor of queer is not immutable. A person who cannot conceive of the same gender even being an option may never consider whether they are attracted to the same gender. An âafabâ Weird Lady may just be A Weird Lady, or they could be some flavor of transâthey are they only one who can choose which label they want, and you have no right to tell them they chose the wrong one.
Gender is a construct. Attraction to any gender is attraction to a construct. And everyoneâs personal construct is a slight (or extreme!) distortion of âtheâ socially prescribed construct(s). But what you conceive of as man or woman or nonbinary etc is not going to be exactly the same as what anyone else conceives of as the same genders. Itâs rooted in your personal understandings and at most we simply come together to agree that where our definitions overlap, those persons who fit into the overlap must be accepted as that gender. And those constructs are not immutable.
Saying that being queer is not a choice and cannot be a choice is so rigid and stifling, and thatâs the opposite of what queerness should be. Queerness is fluid and vast! It is a space where we should be understanding and welcoming of those who choose to embrace us and sympathetic to those who choose not to even if you personally believe certain labels would fit them.
How queer is queer enough? What is the criteria for being queer? What criteria matters? Who gets to decide? Personally, Iâm not interested in turning people away because they donât feel like they were born queer. To me the only criteria that matters is that being queer brings them joy.
And donât you think that someone who chooses to be queerâwho truly wholeheartedly embraces queernessâeven when they donât have to, is someone who loves being queer?
#long and rambling post on queerness#and people choosing to be queer#itâs never been an argument that sat quite right with me even tho i sometimes parrotted it#queerness *can* be a choice! and we should protect those who want to make that choice#it requires just as much love and courage#im just saying i feel more solidarity with the questioning teens and elders with no labels#than with gold-star lesbians#how many kids who need this community are slipping through the cracks bc they think they canât choose to belong with us?#iâd rather argue that thereâs nothing wrong with this lifestyle than try to argue that itâs not a lifestyle#itâs not shameful. itâs not harmful. you arenât doing anything wrong.#and itâs okay if you decide you donât belong. the door is always open even if you just want to sit on the porch and share a drink#did i choose to be queer? idk. i ask myself this all the time. but i decided that it doesnât fucking matter#bc being queer feels right. it makes me happy. itâs where i belong#i saw someone say the other day that people donât choose to be queer bc who would choose to be something that gets them bullied?#and on the surface it makes sense#but. as A Fucking Nerd. human beings choose to be and do things that get them ostracized ALL THE TIME#why not choose being queer? choosing it means itâs worth it!#itâs worth enduring all that crap because itâs wonderful being queer
