Lando and Penelope being best friends sounds like something out of fan fiction but it's 100% true. They really grew up together 🥲

Like something something championship rivalry, blah blah norstappen divorce but Max really spent the season defending Lando and their friendship above all else, to the point his "bonus" child clings to Lando because she feels so safe around him, pls don't tell me Max hasn't taken alll the wounds of his childhood and turned into something golden for this little girl.

#formula 1 #lando norris #max verstappen #norstappen #like MV realllllllllllllly said I am the eldest daughter and I will be breaking the generational trauma for my bloodline #golden boy #and dont even get me started on Lando #our resident arrogant dude bro pal dickhead #who literally is one of the only other driver's that this kid interacts with #they're building a family in monaco #a town littered with bitterness and friends turned enemies #these two really said we're going to live our childhood dreams #and it will be hard and competitive #but we'll be damned if we let the poison drip through #not on our fucking watch

Retelling The Hobbit Chapter 16: The Song of the Lonely Mountain First chapter / Previous / Next

To view full comic: Webtoon/A03 / Tumblr post with links to all chapters

Other blogs: TikTok/Instagram/Tumblr Sideblog

*crumbles into dust after finishing this* Thank you for reading! This The Hobbit webcomic adaptation thing takes a lot of effort to put together and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate every comment. I also really appreciate the people who’ve spread the word of this comic to their friends! <3

And finally, we’re at the Song of the Lonely Mountain! Within Tolkien’s canon, The Hobbit is an in-universe book that was “written” by Bilbo Baggins, who occasionally lies/embellishes/exaggerates things. The tonal differences between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are explained by Bilbo and Frodo/Sam being different kinds of storytellers, with different relationships to “the truth.” This idea is the core of how I’m adapting the novel! Bilbo is an unreliable narrator who is literally ‘drawing’ from his own limited experiences; the different art styles reflect the different perspectives of other characters. The “dwarf art style” in this chapter is inspired by stonework/metalwork in general— but especially by a mix of art deco, Celtic art, and European folk art.

The central tension of the comic is between Bilbo and Thorin, who each have wildly different ideas about what kind of story they’re in. Thorin is in a grand fantasy epic, while Bilbo is in a lighthearted children’s book adventure. The tragedy is, obviously, that only one side of the story ever gets to be fully told.

On a sillier note, a few years ago I had my first gay crush on a lesbian who sang while playing the piano. This chapter is dedicated to the piano lesbian. I hope they’re doing well, wherever they are. XD

I think I might need a bit of a break but I’m hoping for the next chapter, titled “Dawn,” to arrive on January 13th. And your comments/support really do help motivate me to get more done! ^_^

#project sekai #pjsk #prsk #emu otori #proseka #tsukasa tenma #nene kusanagi #rui kamishiro #wxs #wonderlands x showtime #GUYS I AM PUTTING OFF WORKING ON MY COSPLAY SOMETHING STUPID. im tireddddd i like sleeepingggff i want to play and drawwwww #after work I literally ate a giant bowl of mac n cheese and climbed into bed. lifestyle choices of a 9 year old #anyways i want figure skaitng set. bad. PJSK HAS A WEIRDLY LOW NUMBER OF ACTUALLY WINTERY SETS... like 3. kind of.#i have some thumbnail sketches but im kind of stumped on composition for them. my idea was a nene focus set #(IF HER NEXT FOCUS ISNT PHANTOM OF THE OPERA THEMED INWILL DIE. BADLY. THEYRE GOING TO AN OPER AHOUSE. PLEADBR)#originally my idea was for nene to be biting a medal i was very sold on it bc i love nenes competitive side #however her outfit is so nice i want it to also be part of the art .. its heavily inspired by that one iconic eunsoo lim dress #from her somewhere in time program iirc. im really undatisfied with emus dress tbh my origimal idea was to give it a phoenix look #but a lot of the firebird/phoenix skating programs have very sleek dresses and i want emus to be fluffy. the balance is hard ..#and since i want her program song to be once upon a dream from sleeping beauty i swerved to make it look a bit like auroras ? but again #it definitely feels like the weakest of everybodys ... maybe i just love her too much and want her to look the best. sorry wxs.#tsukasas outfit is supposed to look like a shooting star. easy. program music moonlight sonata 3rd movement like from dazzling light. easy.#actually i like takahashi daisukes moonlight sonata program its a medley of the 1st and 3rd movement.. i think the calm at the beginning #is best. maybe smth like that.. for his card inhad him doing a haircutter spin but again. the outfits good i want the outfit visible. damn.#ruis the one im very set on even now. girl why are you so phantom of the opera.#it has a lot of beautiful programs to reference but the outfit i didnt really have any solid reference i kind of just balled #my main idea was to make it look a bit like both christine and the phantom.... gender Fluid.#my yapfest... i should be SEWING!!!!!!!!#despite my yapping im not that well versed in figure skating i cant really distinguish jumps i just like it . and medalist #i only do normal skating. bc i played hockey for like 7 years LOLLLL inlove skating though Heart.

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me

#It’s just so different #even though it’s public it still feels secret and safe. i feel comfy sharing a lot more on here than I do in my actual day to day life lol #in my head I’m also just speaking to myself 90% of the time which helps #if a friend off tumblr saw my thoughts I’d feel so weird ab it #esp bc they might get the vagueposting about certain situations and tell mutual friends #no thank u. this is for me. I’m not about to start censoring my thoughts bc someone I know knows my tumblr #u guys literally saw me have LIVE BREAKDOWNS #meanwhile I’ll have the worst fucking day in history and tell no one about it. I’m already cripplingly private but way more so in real life #this is basically a low stress journaling outlet for me. it’s so important for me to maintain the separation #like this is actually my diary & has been so handy for letting out emotions / articulating thoughts / staying on track !!#& I’ve met so many kind people on here who actually get me. which is so hard to find irl bc I’m surrounded by pre-med gunners/overachievers #who are by standard not very good w emotion & can be competitive/judgmental. or at least it’s hard for me to be vulnerable in front of them #and I’m part of that crowd so I reserve my emotions only to a handful of very close friends #it’s nice to hop on here and express negative emotions!! or positive emotions!! just whatever I want and it’s low stress and people get me #I don’t have to worry about judgment or competitiveness etc etc #like everyone on here is so kind & nice & understanding. & just a breath of fresh air from the types I run w. it’s just nice to have this #so idk that’s why I think I’ll always be strict about keeping the worlds separate. it just works #p

Aw shit they put the horrors of late stage capitalism into my Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 😔

(Mostly) Based on the mouthwashing dev QnA about each character’s favorite Pokémon. Couldn’t get the idea of throwing them into PMD out of my head.

Typical job at the Poke Express Guild:

Some more bonus drawings below

Jimmy secretly wishes he was a mega rayquaza but he’s just a poser who’s obsessed with pikachu’s popularity and position as the mascot. So. A mimikyu.

Daisuke is a zorua because it’s the closest to weregarurumon and I think it matches his vibes. Just a guy who causes a little bit o mischief here n there :)

I did make Daisukes weregarurumon wishes come true (No mega rayquaza for jim)

I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with the background so I threw them into the dungeon. WOE upon ye

#i have some other sketches for this idea. either gonna throw them in a reblog or a new post #anyway had a lot of fun with this. yippeeee :)#mouthwashing #curly mouthwashing #captain curly #anya mouthwashing #swansea mouthwashing #daisuke mouthwashing #jimmy mouthwashing #pokemon #pokemon mystery dungeon #pmd #ANYWAY can i talk about how FITTING each characters favorite pokemon are #like curly chooses the safe popular/uncontroversial option. which parallels his approach to being a captain #jimmy likes the OP broken pokemon because hes obsessed with asserting power and control over other people #glaceon honestly just kinda has anya’s vibes. but also competitively: glaceon can hit hard when used effectively but has low defenses #and on the ship anya has to think more strategically and make sure she hits hard where it counts (moving the gun safe; locking the door)#swansea: dogy :)#<-in all seriousness: it’s a more obscure option that you might not really expect from someone like him #but also herdier is a very loyal pokemon that *wont listen to people it doesnt respect* which I think does fits swansea #daisuke choses something unconventional that’s only kinda related to the question (a digimon)#which I think is interesting considering how he’s having trouble fitting into other’s expectations for him. he knows what he likes but it’s #not what others expect of him. in a way #man i’m not very good at articulating this stuff but AUUGGHHGHG right?#MAN its such a great question for subtly revealing some of a characters personality #AUGH #i GOTTA figure out how to format stuff better lol #myart

… and so it continues.

The way that Williams Racing has nearly completely lost the lovable underdog reputation they have carefully cultivated over the last few seasons in record time needs to be studied.

#this just makes me more determined to cheer for logan sargeant than ever #how does the team ever expect him to improve if they do not give him any of the tools necessary to do so?#i get that it is a competitive sport and hard decisions have to be made … but don’t sign a driver you clearly can’t be bothered to trust #the fact that logan sargeant continues to be punished for someone else’s mistake in the supposed pinnacle of motorsport is embarrassing #formula 1 and williams racing should be ashamed #i bet that andretti would have had a spare chassis ready to go 🙃#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #aus gp 2024 #australian gp 2024 #japan gp 2024 #japanese gp 2024 #logan sargeant #ls2 #williams racing #williams f1

I find the most interesting difference between Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan isn't "malice" and "kindness" but rather Shen Jiu being a desperate-to-survive sore loser and Shen Yuan being an uncompetitive good sport, and it's interesting to see how their differences kind of flow from those two opposing traits

Both are desperate to survive in their own ways, however I guess you could argue Shen Jiu did everything to secure the life he wanted, meanwhile Shen Yuan idled and idled until fire was put under his ass and he finally had to do something to secure better living standards for himself

You could argue Shen Jiu has a stronger will to survive, but even being alive he didn't seem to enjoy it and be happy all that much. Meanwhile Shen Yuan strives for very little but generally is happy with the bare necessities and choosing to just loudly inflate his complaints about little things instead, which probably endears him to the people around him

#my text #idk just had vague thoughts about their difference in desperate competitiveness #you could also extraplate how being a sore loser didnt lend well to developing friendships or showing vulnerability #which meant shen yuan could just seemingly effortlessly develop sqq's relationships while sj suffered to do the same #maybe that lack of vunerable honesty was why sj failed to save lqg on a meta level #a man as hard headed as lqg wouldnt respond well to such an acidic sort of help that strongly tied to sj's pride and face #even if he wanted to genuinely prevent his death #i guess sj is bitterly saving any face he can #while sy is just embarrassed about losing face in just a cringe way #the ignorant insecurity-feeler vs the enlightened petty cringer. i guess lol #svsss #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #shen jiu #jiuyuan #scumcum

#i'm feeling nosy #i was team captain #shortstop #setter and ace server #okay at basketball as a wing #genuinely good at soccer as a striker/forward - i could dribble but i could not shoot goals to save my life i always overshot #i was dangerous in elementary school i.e. i wasn't allowed to play cause i played too rough and hit the balls too hard #i think it was cause i was used to playing against my brother and his friends....#alas now i can't walk so much so the only sport i'm good at is competitive crawling #i wanted to be a ballerina but was very bad at acting and dancing and singing #my singing voice is so bad it'd wobble glassssssss #very very very bad #i wanted to be good at the arts though #i was artsty only in that i could draw #and i liked to write things...like i wrote horoscopes for the yearbook and school papers lol

Seeing people on Twitter and other places claiming leadership over the BurningCheese nation when I was out there writing for them before Burning Spice was even actually released is hilarious
