Been thinking about how it feels, being the wild child
the struggle of not feeling human, when emotions get too strong,
when hands feel like paws and teeth become fangs, shoulders and hunches raised in anger and low growls of fear,
somehow this body language is easier, is more natural than my own
#star's art#my art#artist on tumblr#vent art i guess#actually autistic#Not really sure what to tag this as#But I was the kid that growled at others#People didnt listen to no and stop#But they do listen to growls and snarls#Unfortunately it also makes you really really lonely#It wasn't always out of anger or fear I'd get to transform#Sometimes on my own I'd be able to play and it was always so much fun#Trampolines are great for crawling soft play sorta thing#Getting to wrestle with our dogs and learn their language#How they play and signal for different moves#How I could mimic it without ears or a tail#I miss the joy of being a creature but I don't have the room currently#Shitty laminate hurts to crawl on#Bleh I know this is my post but I feel I'm blabbing#Idk I hope this resonates with someone like how freeing making it felt

the plagiarist posting an "apology" to creators, including myself, who he has ripped for months on end despite us asking him not to while he still has us all blocked is... a choice
#to echo mercymaker:#some of us are literally on mobile#also by 'apology' i mean a statement that is still more about saving face and spreading even more lies while making a pathetic play#at trying to garner scraps of sympathy from the people still supporting him#rather than truly accepting wrongdoing and taking accountability#saying your friends had to tell you to formally apologise and you didn't think it was worth it bc it would fall on “deaf” ears while having#us blocked is already not a great start#and any play at sincerity falls apart the moment you try to pretend you didn't actually do what you did#i have to quote one of my friends here:#trying to STILL pass the hands set off as a coincidence/accident is as bold as it is stupid and disgusting when it was a frame for frame#rip off right down to the scene arrangement#frames and caption#with the greater context of having also stolen almost *all* of my other larger concept sets#it's absolutely insane to me i'm ngl esp considering that this is supposed to be an 'apology'#what are you even 'apologising' for at this point if you are still trying to deny what happened? getting caught?#once again this just goes to show how sincere his 'apologies' truly are#this one is about as worthless as the first from months ago to minthara + mercymaker#text: personal

Experimental aspects of this drawing:
-Starting with pen and not looking back
-Using a limited color palette
-Drawing Shadow the Hedgehog
#nevert's funky lines#shadow the hedgehog#sonic#sonic x shadow generations#art#hand drawn#i always wondered what made my shadows always feel off#before i realized that i'd been forgetting his ears#and hey! i'm playing with my signature again!#haven't done that in a while#i've said that before about the signature#but at least this time i've been signing my more recent pieces#anyway... how are people liking the new game?#i haven't gotten it. not sure if i will#but i've heard great things

Bonus Max ♥
#Doodles#SCII#Damned#Helix#ZEX#Max Vyer#Doodles between studies and playing with hair how could this have happened hehehe ♪#Hghhghgh every time - Every Time!! Every time I see sketches it Makes Me Want To Draw and then I do and it's great and I love it#Inspire!! My favourite ♪#Helps when the subject is as cute as ZEX is hehe <3#First one was before that but I'm still counting it because he's still just as cute lol#Back him into a corner do it (and also give him kisses he deserves it)#He's just so popular! All eyes on him!#The more experienced in the leader role ♫#The rest are all inspired-bys lol - the studies were quite fun as well! They always are#I hadn't really given much consideration to his hair to be honest :0 Other than feeling like I make his hair too long and fluffy lol#But to me fluff = fluff = fluff so seeing the shapes broken down was really neat :D#How it would react to being up or down or different weights and thicknesses and curliness - very cool! Like it a lot :D#I really like his bangs covering his closed eye hehe <3 Weighted or otherwise! Just seems like it'd be convenient for him#That way that hair in your eyes limits your visibility and/or blink a bunch but he just keeps his shut haha#There's also something nice about it being out of his face and you can see his closed eye so clearly as well ♪#Conversation starter hehe#And one that's not a style study but /is/ from after doing a couple haha - nose ear and eyes seem to be the big factors there hmm#It's interesting :3#And fun! :D#And then a bonus Max for funsies because I'm Love Him and he's So cute <3#Cannot draw this man without a pillow he embodies pillows to me he needs a pillow that is His Prop in my head lol#If/when I make that Max plush (it's still on my mind) definitely gonna have to make him a pajama set with pillow and blanket#Needs the cute sleepies! It's required!!!

so with all the goings on i've been playing a metric fuck ton of sims lately and of course everybody i've made has been atbb-centered because i have to do it as cringe as possible but the thing i just realized is i have the main skeletons as like. mostly normal humans. because trying to make them all look like skeletons would turn out fucking ridiculous in this game and since they're the main ones i play i'd want them to look at least somewhat normal. but then when i make any other non-skeleton character i end up looking for more and more custom content to make them look more monstery
#post inspired by me being just about to look up if there are any mods that can give my sims multiple eyes and arms#so that i can make muffet of course. a very necessarry character to have and put this much effort into#i found one set of eyes titled “spider dance” and got really excited but looked at it and they actually look really bad. sobs#my mods folder has 1797 files in it btw. thats how you know i'm really normal about this game and it's great for my health actually#the fact that my computer starts screaming and crying every time i boot it up from steam just means she likes it too im sure#i also made the dreemurrs and i couldnt not give them digitigrade legs and a fur skin texture. they have kitty noses <3#stretch is the only exception to the skeletons looking like humans. he also has fur texture but ALSO cat ears & an animated tail#because i like making him a creature. its fun :3#one day i'll get brave enough to actually show all of them... that would require me to open the game without instantly hyperfocusing tho#its. harder than you would think#after my power came back i played 20 hours in two days its fine

Man, it doesn't matter what the medium or fandom is, truly the debate that ruins fandom discussions the fastest is when people try to decide which characters "deserve" what. Especially when it comes to them deciding which characters are evil, how evil they are, and how severe their punishment should be for their evil deeds.
It's really annoying/harmful on multiple levels. For one, morally speaking, the line between "evil, but can repent/compensate for their deeds" and "evil, cannot be redeemed, suffer and die forever" is harder to define than you think, and who has the authority to define it anyways?
But also, fictional stories (especially the better, more nuanced, more mature ones) are rarely ever about "deserving" and don't divide their characters neatly between the "good" and the "evil." Every time I see fans debate about "how evil" a Problematic Fave is, or if Fave 1 is better/worse than Fave 2, all I see is people ruining their own fun and stirring up bad blood between other fans. Why would you add this dichotomy of "deserving" to a FICTIONAL story and start real life beef with people over it? At that point you're getting more invested in your discourse over imagined good/evil binaries than you are invested in watching/reading/consuming the actual story itself.
#squiggposting#honestly it gets to the point where i try to avoid fandom discourse for new things i'm into such as bg3#canon is crystal clear and then i walk into fanon discussions and it's like a funhouse mirror#fanon discussions and discourse get so wack they literally make me second guess shit i saw with my own eyes and ears#me playing bg3: yeah the themes of this are pretty clear i understand perfectly the emotions here are great#me looking at bg3 fandom discussions: what in the actual fuck is going on here. did we play the same game#it's also not helped by people who can't distinguish between canon and fanon#like. there's a difference bt things explicitly said by canon vs interpretations based on canon but not actually confirmed#there can be multiple different interpretations of a story. this is true and a very good thing#HOWEVER. ppl in fandom are often bad at distinguishing between canon information and their interpretation. it just adds more misinformation#if you're a veteran that actually knows the lore you end up stepping into discourse just to clarify:#no that isn't actually canon. it's based on this one thing that was said in canon but canon never actually says that.#you can INTERPRET THAT but the story never actually explicitly says it#just. what a fucking mess lmao. the best way to get accurate information on a story is to just play/watch/read it yourself#fandom cannot be trusted to 1. get lore factually correct 2. distinguish between canon facts and interpretation

Tagged by @village-skeptic to "share three random facts about yourself."
My front teeth are mostly fake! There was something up with the fluoride in the Philadelphia water when I was a baby that messed up the surfaces of my natural teeth, so five of the six top-fronts are now porcelain veneers...and the sixth is an entirely fake bridge because I'm just congenitally missing that one (ditto one sister and our maternal grandmother).
I took guitar lessons for a couple of years, mainly because my parents were like "pick an instrument but not drums" (my sisters both tried piano) but was always terrible at it and retained nothing. I cannot read music and am basically tone-deaf.
I've never been big on costumes. I love cosplay in theory, but in practice I have little interest in actually dressing up as anything with real effort—including for Purim or Halloween—and usually just fake something with whatever I already own if I absolutely must. Longtime followers may recall I've done Carmen Sandiego a whole bunch of times since acquiring a red trenchcoat about a decade ago, as you basically just need that and a hat (which I purchased concurrently for this reason) to make it work.
Tagging: @hondagirll + @fulltimeprocrastinator + @ryeloza
#tag meme#about me meme#bébé claims to be able to play the guitar by which she means she likes to sing george harrison songs while plucking at a toy ukulele#we went to a purim carnival over the weekend and suggested she might want to do something costume-y for that#but she selected a dinosaur-patterned shirt and blue jeans and said 'now i'm all dressed up!' so i guess she was a lowkey paleontologist?#or she just got my meh-on-costumes gene and hasn't realized it yet#i DID offer a denim top and a red bandana to go with the blue jeans figuring it'd be an easy rosie the riveter kinda thing#aka 'great great aunt rose' from the delightful book 'rosie revere engineer' but she declined#she did seem to enjoy being corduroy (the bear from the books) for halloween but she has since outgrown the one brown shirt AND the ear hat

Having finally been driven to blacklisting content, I'd like to take this moment to say that no annoying/overexposed/boring/formulaic/etc. musician will ever be as irritating to me as their fans and their haters are.
#let us all shut up more often & more vigorously#especially about the artistic virtues & vices of strangers whose lives affect us not at all#amen#just go about your business in peace#also why is this something that happens to me so often#so many musicians I could do without attract the most devoted evangelists#for example#perhaps I could have learned to like Nick Cave#but I will never know because too many Cave-ites were constantly trying to ram him into my ears at every turn#and eventually I rebelled on principle because so many annoying people were trying to make me do the same thing#there are very few people with whom I want to have in-depth conversations about music#as someone who does not press music upon others#I don't understand this behavior#if you like the music I am playing#presumably you will ask about it#if you hate it#I assume you'll let me know#that's good enough for me#also if you hate the music I'm playing & say so#I will not start crying about how the music is actually great & the musician is secretly the messiah#I will play something else that we can both enjoy#I am OK with you not liking my music#I can blast it for myself when you are not around

my dad still calls me girl all the damn time but it doesn't even bother me because he just sounds like a faggy old queen now. "girl get it together" you sound fresh off drag race pops
#me and my brother both always got called 'girl' and 'boy'#hollered loudly in every situation growing up. c'mere girl/gitcher ass down here boy/etc#(sidenote we also had one girl dog and one boy dog for a long time. who were called the same way. this got confusing)#anyways now I'm a man and my brother has long hair and earrings and secretly plays with makeup#so our dad just looks insane. it's great#(in my dad's defense he's not an asshole about me being trans anymore he's just been hit in the head a lot)#(told him I'm getting top surgery this fall and he was about falling over himself to offer to book a flight#so he could pick me up from the clinic after. which I'm very grateful for)

Anything they’re ashamed of? What do they hide from friends and family and maybe even themself?
//i would say they're still deeply ashamed of just up and leaving their family as a kid, even if to this day they still feel as if they had no choice but to leave or lose their entire mind by staying
they haven't told ANYONE they know about their family or why they left home, and after avoiding the question enough times, everyone else has figured out it's better not to ask.
similarly, they're ashamed of running away from school, too. and from combat, when they were first starting out as agent 3 in the events of sploon1. they're ashamed of how often their fight-or-flight response ticks over to flight, and they spent a lot of time from the ages of 15 to 18 like. training that out of themself. and yeah, it's as fucking unhealthy as it sounds.
they silently made a promise to themself to never, ever run away again. from anything. they consider themself a coward, despite how obviously fucking untrue that is.
#ooc ask#headcanons#muse lore#also ignore the fact that i'm online when i should be at work#i did in fact call in i still don't feel great#but i'm feeling a little bit better after taking another little nap so i'm just gonna take it easy today and play it by ear

YOU CAN PLAY THE PIANO???? I WAS SURE YOU'D BE TOO CHAOITIC FOR THAT
Yep
Admittedly I'm not the best at it and half the time I get too distracted to actually finish learning an entire song, but I can play it
#I play piano the same way people play guitar#A little bit here#A little bit there#someone asks me if I can play a song and I'll either do it by ear or with sheet music#but it's not like I'm great at it#currently trying to learn rush e#I'll probably get a quarter of the way through before I decide to try a different song#capitol ask

#tri city americans you were so bad tonight but i'm so proud of you anyway#actually you did great they played very well to be completely honest with you#one of the refs threw a puck at us#like from over the glass. we gave it to the three year old sitting in the row in front of us#there were fried chickens thrown at us like into the crowd from the rafters#the goalie on bench kept slapping the glass and making eye contact with me when we scored/got close to the wheat kings' net#it was so intense and it was your average tri cities crowd (derogatory) but i saw multiple canucks fans ans multiple leafs fans so that was#really cool actually. some bruins fans as well which is so crazy?? but anyway#i need to go back my skin is like. vibrating#wenatchee is next i think. check off all of the counties on the east and then move to the west and then do portland#the wild just moved here so unsure how the crowd will be. holy shit my ears are still ringing#chl#nhl#my post#tca
