Okay, so, I decided to have a little fun and traced one of the collages I made (posted all of them in a different posts) to both relax and practice line thickness, and HOT DAMN do I have more respect for background artists.
Those details CRUSHED me. But also O.O I noticed so many things in the background that I hadn't before. Like the horse mosaic on the wall, the lions jumping through hoops in the background, how the staircase isn't straight, it's curved, and just how many eye shapes there are in the hotel, damn).
I'm probably ALSO going to use this as a reference, because one can never have too many references, and like with my other ones, anyone is free to snatch this one up too if they want. Something about the absence of color and shadow just...help my brain with the shapes, you know?
#also helped me get a better grasp of how to draw comics#is that weird?#idk but it was very satisfying to do this#I will probably do this to the others in between finishing my Husk drawing guides#my hand is dead now though LMAO#I've been working on this for the past two nights#hazbin hotel#alastor#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel alastor#the radio demon#lucifer morningstar#lucifer magne#appleradio#lucifer hazbin hotel#lucifer#hazbin hotel lucifer#hazbin lucifer#alastor hazbin hotel#alastor the radio demon#radio demon#drawing reference#drawing guides#drawing guide

I got. thoughts. about valens and voices in imperial roman history. but I also got a lot of thoughts about uhhhhhh choosing your brother for co ruling the Fratricide Foundation Story Empire. many thoughts about themistius' oration too
Brotherly Love, Themistius (trans. Peter Heather & David Moncur)
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta
#it's also the Incest-Cannibalism Empire but that's a discussion for a different blog#all of the heavy hitters were Incest Empires btw. that's a feature of Empire across all of time. not always Cannibalism tho. TRAGIC.#but rome specifically being the Fratricide&Stuprum Empire is funny AND makes parts of this speech feel. uh. UHHHHH.#feels like you're trying to overwrite history and while you succeeded ONCE the uncle-nephew antagonism with a body count#somehow feels worse????? feels worse. i dont like anything that happened to valentinian 2#anyway. as a result: i personally will be including the bigamy accusations against valentinian into my belief system#stuprum babyyyyy! a requirement for every emperor! valens is lacking here so valentinian has to pick up the slack#valens will be giving me an opening to fire shots at figures in christianity i dislike which is honestly better than scandalous sex#later roman empire tag#komiks tag#brother emperors tag#IF. you missed my brother emperors posting. the head in hands thing here is meant to be a little bit offputting on account of#valentinian being valens' imperial maker. that's a life in your hands. overtures of fratricide. etc. you get the point#whatever other subtext you want to apply to it from the subtext spice cabinet. im not picky. this was a quick comic i did#to shake off the depression cobwebs lmao. eventually i'll style guide this era and do comics with more intentional thought later

I read the tags to my sibling, and they told me I needed to draw this.
#fanart#sketch#inspired by other's tags#Sky: Children of the Light#Sky: CotL#Sky Children of the Light#Season of Prophecy#Prophecy Guide#other's headcanons#Realized too late that I forgot the halo for the mask#so we'll just pretend that it came off and is washed up elsewhere along with the surfboard#or it sank underwater#Like with hands I struggle with full body pics#and perspective#WHAT IS PERSPECTIVE?#Also can't draw receding ocean water on a beach

Hot Take: Dia is the braincell of the Sinnoh Trio
#pokespe#trainer diamond#trainer pearl#platinum berlitz#platinum thought that she was travelling with bodyguards for like 2 weeks#also decided to wear a skirt and sleevless shirt on a snowy mountain while skiing#there's lots of things she did that will prove my point#but platinum is the last person to hold the braincell#pearl might get to be the braincell holder#but he also thought that platinum was their tour guide and didn't realize it until the actual bodyguards show up#dia on the other hand#he knew that something was off during the dp arc but didn't say anything because he wanted to spend time with pearl and platinum#along with the fact that he can think rationally and stratigicly#first to act when the trio officially met cyrus#came up with the one mach speed razor leaf to train his heavy team#i think it's more of that dia is the braincell but pretends that pearl has it

I have a question which I want to ask, purely out of curiosity - what are people's favourite in-game books in Skyrim? Whether it's a journal with a single entry, or one which starts one of your favourite quests, or simply makes you feel something - what are they?
Personally, I quite like the shadowmarks book - it's one of the few which I'll sometimes go out of the way to carry around with me during playthroughs, and has come in use on occasion when I've spotted the shadowmarks about!
#meg is rambling#skyrim#tes v skyrim#tes v#on the other hand I am not a fan of both racial phylogeny or the gentleman's guide to whiterun.#the former I pretend doesn't exist and the latter I take the piss out of in fics and makes me feel even better brawling mikael for carlotta#cicero's journals were also a close contender for one of my favourites alongside alduin is real and thief of virtue

as a tumblrologist i actually love whenever there's a sudden influx of tumblr users from another site. the response of the users is like a whalefall of information
[tip to new users: tumblr users are easily won over by references to whalefalls.]
#bold text#wow look something original!!#tumblrology#but like it is really interesting!!!!#some people will make 'here's a guide to tumblr' posts which are obviously like YES fantastic first hand information excellent#and then other people just make jokes which are also extremely revealing and culturally fascinating

having thoughts about how Husk actually has very little left to redeem bc he started his journey of self-change before even coming to work at the hotel, but at the same time redemption isn't even his goal- he ain't even aiming for heaven, he just wanted to be a better person and maybe now with friends and especially Angel, who he supports so much and wants to see succeed, maybe now he has a reason to be a better person
#hazbin hotel#husk#warning I am about to ramble in these tags O7 I have a ridiculous amount of thoughts about this cat bird man#thinking about that word of god from vivzie that Husk is actively fighting his gambling addiction in hell#which besides the pilot we've only seen his gambling mentioned in the past#and idk if it's just because they had to focus on other things but we don't see him drinking as heavily as he did in the pilot#and first few episodes. like he actually wants to be sober#we know he used to be an overlord and we assume that comes with all the terrible overlord qualities#(aka there's no such thing as a good slave owner)#but the Husk we know now has been on both sides of this chain#he knows and respects boundaries. consent is super important to him. this feels like a moral you can't really have to be an overlord#he also sees everyone as more than just what they can do for him specifically. he gets NOTHING out of being Angel's friend#he gets NOTHING out of defending Angel and Cherri during the fight with the Exorcists#he knows when to open up and who to open up to and trust. and he extends a hand to someone in need. someone he ain't even close to-#and if it hasn't changed he is trying to beat his own vices despite not even being a guest of the hotel. he's staff. he doesn't HAVE to#participate in their activities or try to change. he was dragged into this#but dammit he does it anyway#(also if he is still trying to beat his gambling addiction I wonder if the pilot was a relapse. hm)#anyway ig what im trying to say is husk isn't a guest at the hotel but plays the role of a guide for the guests bc he's already#got a very strong and *GOOD* set of morals considering they're in hell#like his level of morals we've only seen /explicitly/ shown in hellborn. and yeah consent and boundaries is rock bottom even for Earth#but they're in hell so somehow the bar manages to be even fucking lower than that so I consider it a win#ALSO THE FACT THAT HE STOOD BETWEEN ANGEL & CHERRI AND THE EXORCISTS??? this mf is willing to DIE for these people#I am 100% sure that if Husk's soul didn't belong to Alastor he would already be redeemed#we don't know what he did in life and we don't know how bad he was as an overlord but we know who husk is /now/#and that person is a pretty damn good guy#he might have some work to do sure but he's already at least started his redemption before the show even began and#we're just seeing the tail end of it#god damn I really rambled in these tags i am so sorry#I just have so many thoughts about him

the seperation of lesbians and gay men is a travesty. "why are there so many historic gay bars and only like a handful of lesbian bars in the whole country" why are being gay and lesbian not the same thing in this context. you dont need to fuck everyone at the bar and it is a problem that needs to be addressed if these spaces arent mutually hospitable. and this applies to most gay/lesbian spaces imo
#its just wrong to assume gay spaces arent for women and if any gay men are reinforcing that it needs to be stopped lol#but a lot of it seems like very gender-biased willing exclusion bc they dont wanna associate with men#which um. grow up to you too#gender segregation is just evil period#other than intimate circumstances if you refuse to hang around people you perceive as x gender#its a problem you need to work on it's not just a right you've earned#now yes of course there are able to be specific cases of bars that are more explicitly lesbian or gay#but assuming if a bar is a ''gay bar'' its just for gay men is a fallacy... do you even go to these places?#''buh buh buh if theres a drag show drag is insulting to women cis and trans'' its not. address your revulsion#i know i come across harsh toned im actually more being flabbergasted that weve got to this point rather than saying hey you in particular#its just so strange to have grew up in the gay climate i did where the only lesbian flag was just lipstick lesbian and the girls didnt like#if you assumed every lesbian fell under it and to just use rainbow#and now people act like gay and lesbian arent synonyms because of gender seperatism. which disproportionally hurts members of the lgbt#community because they are more likely to be gnc lol#also a lot of individual opinions you just see the terf hand guiding.#and i HATE THE TOOTHPASTE FLAG!!#no pink flag for girls so blue flag for boys get the fuck out of my face#i dont want to superficially share my experiences with gay men i need community with gay PEOPLE

“ace up my sleeve,” lord huron // The Raven Cycle
this was originally going to be a story about gansey but he and blue are the same, so it became about them. so its about being born just to die then live then die again curses destiny and free will and endings and defying all that anyway
#dangling comma is intentional#handing her mint leaves is taking a drag off cigarette to me#basic guide to julia quote posts: everything is supposed to connect between lyrics and from begnning to end#AND u gotta listen to the song#its important to me u know the ace up my sleeve lines are like sad and hopeful not like cocky#also so u can imitate the experience of me playing it on repeat two hours straight while finding quotes#the other rule of quote post is that i gotta use the it was beautiful here line#really wanted to use the i’d take all of you with me quote but not bluesey#will have to post all the other quotes i wanted to include#i died a million deaths trying to forma t this no one knows my pain#ughhh the beginning of song is so ganset and i just cldnt find right quotes for it

Somehow ended up in two situations within 4 days of each other where I had to gently grab frenzied small animals to get them out of buildings they shouldn't be in.
#both were fine and ran/flew off as soon as i let them go.#mouse was in one of the changing rooms at work and it kept runninf into other rooms rather than away from the building when i tried to shoo#finch was in the mail hutch frantically trying to fly through the glass window in the back and also couldnt be guided out#she stuck herself in a corner so i could nab her.#dw i washed my hands suuuuuper well i dont wanna mess with bird flu or anything like that#mouse#bird#finch#rodent#small animal#house finch

men will simply take back their old job as a favor to their boss and then immediately remember why they left their old job
#(face in hands) listen i love doing this but like#once again. they are pulling the whole 'oh i promise you won't have to do any prep we'll have everything ready for you'#and the 'everything ready for you' is a bunch of unsorted google docs and powerpoints with zero context#and i ask 'hey where's the activity guide and all the materials and also literally any of the context of what i'm supposed to be doing'#and they're like 'you'd have to ask other boss for that i don't have that' (which is understandable)#but then i ask other boss and they're like#'oh it's simple it's (just vaguely explains to me what the activity guide would be like but does not give it to me)'#and then i look in the materials box and it turns out other boss has cannibalized it for twelve other activities#which i must now dig through 40+ boxes to find#(face in hands) why am i doing this#because money and because they offered to pay me the same i'd make at the other job i was looking into#and because my old boss is halfway a friend and has been really stressed about all of this#because other boss just. left. despite them being like 'hey i can't handle all of our bookings alone'#d a m n b#i'll survive but oughhhhhhh i'm mad at myself for waltzing back into this (but at least i get money)#(thank fuck i get money . . . . . . . )

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........
#MOTHER FFFFUCKER#to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants#im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night#at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn#to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS#the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori#but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey#consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!!#just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick#outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to#animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better#at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH#i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc#im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over#where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands#there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE#ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles#but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your#health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!!#im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves#also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet#im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to#have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to#to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up#their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ#yapping

looking at each other like 🌠
#baldur's gate 3#astarion#oc tag: étoile#long post#otp: guiding star#i can picture karlach clapping her hands and snapping her fingers; or running up like 'hey! other people live here!'#to subtly restore the 8 ft between them for usual conversation#astarion's hands under étoile's cape and the sash at their belt#while one of their hands starts by floating free as if hesitant or caught off guard? good stuff#i also really like that they don't hold his arms between thumb & forefinger but instead cup their whole hand around the outside of his arms#it looks gentle#thank you for the suggestion of a fre/ec/am m/od sala/m/atullah

I left girl guides because i was trans but also because i couldn't handle the responsibility
i mean i was 2 months away from ranking up and having to organise an event to raise awareness about the risks of "Dismemberment Lake"
#its not as bad as it sounds#the lakes just called that because it keeps washing up animal bones#maybe it was the undiagnosed autism that ruined it for me#i still drive past the building sometimes#i know other people enjoyed guiding#i also didnt like sticking my hands in cold spaghetti
