#and a very embarrassed guy

[genericruleroftheflies]

I’m so serious this is such a good dramatic moment.

Dare I say it saves Usagi’s character

(besides him just being funny to me personally)

Like he actually goes through a mini-character arc of experiencing guilt at the thought he might have been forcing Misaki into their relationship the whole time.

I don’t think he ever considered having possibly done that until Sumi brings it up (while also forcibly coming onto Usami…)

Meanwhile Misaki is like “Why isn’t he saying he loves me all the time anymore?! Why isn’t he harassing me?! Did he stop being gay?!?!?” And saying to Usagi like “You said he wanted to lock me up yesterday but now you want me to move out what the hell?!”

Anyway, they do work it out in the end. Misaki asserts that he hasn’t been forced.

Misaki was way more worried Usagi hated him, because he was somehow causing him trouble (with family, with work, in life, or by being him) while Usagi was worried that he was forcing Misaki and therefore hurting him.

And lowkey it’s kinda cute that when Usagi admits that’s the issue that Misaki is like “Is it okay if I assume that’s why you have been being so weird?” because he is glad Usagi doesn’t hate him.

Also to continue my in defense of Usagi train… when Misaki says worrying about having possibly forced him is pointless, Usagi replies it’s not pointless. So, he actually really does place importance on not hurting Misaki or doing anything that would cause him to lose him.

Or at least that’s fully established (and/or recontextualized by this point in the manga)

Luo Binghe: Shizun was my first kiss. Was I also yours?

Shen Qingqiu: Ah, I actually kissed some girl many years ago, but it doesn't matter, I don't even remember what she looks like anymore

Luo Binghe, pouting: Well at least I'm the first guy you kissed...

Shen Qingqiu, blushing: Um...

Luo Binghe, no longer pouting 100% serious: Who

Shen Qingqiu, trying to act nonchalant: Who what-

Luo Binghe: Who dared to sully Shizun's lips with their own?!

I already promised some more MSA sketches in the future for my watchers, but I figured ya'll deserved at least one cleaned up sketch right now since I haven't posted any art of the gang in awhile. Purely for fun as I've always wanted to draw the gang in more alternate outfits. :D

watching yet another person fall from an unimaginably tall height

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

What's more appropriate for this new crush than a kiss under the mistletoe? ☺️💖

Odysseus with his head in his wife's lap, happily not paying attention to anything, humming one of athenas song and carving something

Some random guy: your majesty----

Odysseus: not bothering to sit up: whatever my wife decided is fine.

Leo getting hit with a truth curse but instead of forcing him to admit to super sad or worrying things it’s things like “it was me who broke the remote” “I saw Mikey prank Donnie and helped hide it because it’s way funnier if he didn’t know who it was” “I rip my clothes to look more like Raph’s because he’s really cool” “my stripes aren’t even red they’re pink!”

Hey, different post than usual, but this is just a PSA for people who may follow or have purchased anything from @/kagebros, or are looking to join any of the zines run by them @/allsparkzines. They have a history (and present) of tracing for profit.

I don’t think this one requires an overlay. It’s a trace of the yolopark bumblebee shockwave model kit promotional image, as a “sketch”.

Which they changed, once people noticed it! Changed most of it. They traced a different promotional image for the gun, which remained largely the same, even in the final piece (right).

Their matching Optimus Prime poster is a trace of the still from a [ Paramount promo video ], 36 seconds in.

There are several other examples that I can’t fit into this post without making it overly long, but if you have purchased or have been gifted anything from them, there is a chance it has been traced.

Regarding tracing as a tool:

Go hogwild! Trace all you want! Tracing is a very useful tool for learning shapes and forms, but like any other tool, it’s only useful if you use it correctly. The ultimate goal of tracing is to understand. It’s training wheels. Just don’t hide and lie about it, because as soon as you do, it becomes plagiarism.

Even within the finished versions of the Shockwave poster, it’s still clear where parts have been traced or copied without understanding. It’s a shame, because transformers as a franchise having so many toys makes it very easy to make references!

Here's an example of how I use them:

Luckily for me, the Cybertron toys and models are more or less exactly the same. I don't own the toys, so I have two images from a [ toy reviewer ] on top. Many angles to help me understand exactly what's happening. Granted, I could just ask my friend who does own the toy for him in the same pose, but tracing over that directly would make it too stiff and it wouldn't mesh with my style.

TL;DR: Kage traces, blindly and without disclosure, for profit.

I don't generally hang out in the Dr. Ratio tags, so I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but it tickles me every time I remember it;

did you guys know Dr. Ratio actually had an in-game cameo before his big debut in 1.6's The Crown of the Mundane and Divine? He was actually in the 1.5 update, The Crepuscule Zone aka Fyxestroll Garden Event!

So in 1.6, we get to actually meet Ratio face-to-face partway through. But even before that, we unknowingly talk to him through text messages in the researchers' group chat.

We know that this is Ratio's username, because we have his achievement:

And in 1.5, we have just one (1) single instance of this same username on the message boards...

Dude's been trolling since before he even showed his face BSKZJDMSKMSNDN
