admittedly idk anything about slaughterhouse five apart from what you’ve just posted but I am interested to hear if u have any ideas for what bitb in that style would look like?

PHANTOM IS LITERALLY THIS RN AS WE SPEAK

ok listen ok ok ok. Slaughterhouse five is a war novel about wwii and it's told through a series of moments out of chronological order in a meaningful way that keeps jumping back and forth enough that you don't have a solid timeline of what's going on. It tells the story of Billy's life and his experience in the war but everything is jumbled out of order as Billy gets stuck and unstuck in time. And I think that would fit with BITB so well.

I don't know who it would follow, my thought would be Rand although I think there could be some really interesting stuff for Rolan. But Rand is my target here, he is my billy pilgrim in this situation. What's interesing about slaughterhouse five that I just noticed is that while everything is out of order and jumbled, The bombing of dresden and the experiences getting captured in wwii is the ONLY thing that is told in chronological order. It is cut up into pieces and sandwiched between other moments in Billy's life. Everything else is out of order and just smushed together, but the main narrative is still in chronological order which while there are still bits that jump between past and future, it leads the reader to believe that the present is supposed to be wwii. And that's what it would be for Galloway.

The stuff that happened in Galloway would be the main timeline, the main focus, the main plot. It would be the only thing told in chronological order but broken up enough that it doesn't really feel like it's that way, snippets of things from the past and the future keep coming back and forth to fill in the gaps. But as well, there's a thing in Slaughterhouse Five where "so it goes" where everything bad that happens is treated apathetically because there's an idea that comes up later in the book that even if someone dies, they're still alive in memories and for the Tralfamadorians time is stacked on top of each other, it's not linear. Everything that happens has happened and is going to happen, and has to happen. It's the entire notion of doomed by the narrative before doomed by the narrative was a THING.

This person is supposed to die, but they are still alive in the past, and since the past is happening at the same time, they aren't really dead. And that's what it would be like with what happens at Galloway. Everything is told in a way that makes no sense, but looking at it all together it would be... not understandable... but it would idk it would make a meaningful world.

"There are no telegrams on Tralfamadore. But you're right: each clump of symbols is a brief, urgent message—describing a situation, a scene. We Tralfamadorians read them all at once, not one after the other. There isn't any particular relationship between all the messages, except that the author has chosen them carefully, so that, when seen all at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful and surprising and deep. There is no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no cause, no effects. What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time."

That's the central idea, the story being told all together, no beginning middle and end, but everything happening at once with the knowledge of what is going to come.

#I HAVE LITERALLY SO MANY IDEAS #BUT NO WAY TO PROPERLY CONVEY IT #you just gotta understand please please please #I need to write this actually I think I might lose my mind otherwise #Slaughterhosue five singlehandedly rewired my entire brain #kudos to kurt vonnegut for doing this to me im losing it #its such a good book #and the style fits so well with this #but the fact that its incredibly apathetic and just #idk ... disconnected? from evberything #jkust OUGH #it would fit with rand I think the most #but yhea this makes no sense but its like midnight and im exhausted from work #jackie tag #rambling #phever dreams with phantom #liveblogs writing

Eve, Kate, Mark and Rex! Nailing some ideas down on how I wanna draw them in the future, and enjoying messing with their designs like usual! Not a fix-it whatsoever just fun + ref for the future! I cannot do realistic styles so translating them into something I can do while still being recognizable is peak. I will mess with Rex's suit more. Trust. I Kate so much now. Look at her <333333

#the brainrotsreal's art tag ✧˖°:*♡#invincible fanart #invincible #mark grayson #digital art #fanart #procreate art #rex splode #duplikate #atom eve #eve wilkins #RAMBLE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEE #MARK: again he's got his mother's pearl earrings as a winky wink to batman reference + fun inkling that he is ALSO his mom's son #MARK: adding to the whole difference of civvie/hero persona he's a bit more miserable looking and anxious w/o the suit while emotional in i #but also means he's eager and confident when he does think he knows what he's doing. but is not as confident outside of it.#heroism is his chance to prove his worth in his eyes even after Dad Realization because know he has to prove he ISNT his Dad.#Basically Invincible will always need to prove himself but he doesn't know how to do that as Mark Grayson. so gold = joy/confidence #stays on Invincible. but not mark #REX: easy peezy a spiky hair style to wink more at his passionate and louder personality as well as wink to the explosion thing #REX: gold earrings and shoulders exposed as civvie because i know in my soul he WOULD. like i cant even explain he told me himself.#goggle change to lean more into the style change! pupil-less design!! and gold eyes cause he got experimented on/powers ingrained.#the dangling bit from the goggles screams fighter and since he does ALSO need to fight it makes sense #KATE: new haircut cause i cant stand her normal one istg. ugh. but keeping the same vibe! leaning more into ben 10 type of elements since #numbers ARE a point of her design AND power so it was only fitting! i love her suit so much #NOWWWWW since she is A REAL FIGHTER like her only thing is multiplying still mean she knows how to throw a punch and MOVE i figure #she works out a ton and has a more flexible sporty fit going on so she's got a hoodie crop top. ready to jog at all times.#once in my brain she's the vague sorta raven of the group (more isolated and withdrawn since she doesn't rlly interact with anyone)#added black made SENSEEEEE #EVEEE: easiest to do because she is starfire of the group so i got possessed! honestly kept all her colors except tried to move around the #logo a bit more and take slight inspo from Justice league Green lantern's design + tweak the logo cause i realized i hate it KSDKS

I'm still alive and making art despite my silence the past while- Here's the result of the horrible cold I've had the past couple weeks, you should be fed for another month at least with this, methinks. Version without the text and glow, plus the inspo under the cut

#My art stuff #digital art #gravity falls #stanley pines #mabel pines #dipper pines #wendy corduroy #soos ramirez #meme #redraw #I have no idea who made the original - a friend sent it in the group chat maybe a month ago and I only saved the pic for referencing #miis #switch 2 #maybe? I'll take the clickbait #fanart #artstyle copy #artstyle study #I feel like I haven't really showcased my main skill in art that much recently - whether or not I've drawn in general is irrelevant #grunkle stan breakdancing #As per my other friend's genius - Mabel's wearing a special outfit colourscheme - if you know you know #I also gave Lee freckles (Cus he deserves to keep them) and also a random ring meant to be the one he found and can't get off #This was my first time drawing Wendy and Soos too so if they look a lil wonky - that's why #uhhhhh what else to tag #artist of tumblr #gravity falls fanart #I did take some creative liberties with adding the extra shading but I feel like it fits pretty well with the style

MDZS Severance AU: Get me out of here.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #mdzs modern au #severence #It is imperative to this AU that outie WWX and LWJ 1) know each other and 2) dislike the each other.#Meanwhile their innies are actively misusing their allotted breaktime to kiss sloppy style.#I know that some people might feel strongly against WWX being pro-severence here but here me out:#the pitch for severance would absolutely appeal to him. Letting another version of him to the hard work? Not remembering it?#Yeah... he would be absolutely into the idea at the start. I think once he learned more about it he might shift his stance.#As much as most people like to see him as a morally upstanding guy...#...the severance procedure 100% sounds like something he would write a theoretical paper on. if not *invent*.#I'll be back later to write more thoughts. Today's comic is unfortunately brought to you by stomach acid woes.#leaning over to draw was really uncomfortable and painful and I'm not really thinking well at the moment.#Sorry today's comic is both late and sloppy.#Edit: Okay my health is getting back to par so my brain is back online.#So glad many people are on-board or agree with ‘Pro-Severance Outie WWX’. It just fits too well.#Okay LWJ analysis time. I’d put him in O+D with NHS. for the hijinks and just how their characters would function in that role.#LWJ’s innie is caught with a sense of loss and longing. Something is missing. He’s never alone but always lonely.#WWX’s Innie feels the hollowness that outie WWX denies and buries in distraction and work.#Both their outies are Constantly on the move and working. Their outies connect over a slow day.#Two people who both feel empty and see that emptiness in each other.#WWX would have been in the basement for years. LWJ is new and struggling to adjust. They ignite each other’s will to fight.#…This AU might pull another comic from me at this rate. I have a few more things to say.

"feels like we could go on for forever this way.." (x)

#wooo new header for me <33 #also back to skk posting i missed them sm #wanted to pratice some scenery and try a new style which simplifies my current one and focuses more on colors and painting #and i'm super happy with how it turned out i think i won #for forever fits skk so well it rly brings back the bittersweet memories of when they were once partners and each others halves #and it just feels reminiscent of days gone by and they were once so close but time and life their own decisions have torn them apart #ben platt's voice is so pretty i love this song sm i heard it for the first time again in years and was slammed by all the emotions😭😭#i was so normal abt deh when it first came out i swear #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #nakahara chuuya #chuuya nakahara #soukoku #skk #lotus draws

"It's very bold of you to turn up here with such a high bounty on your head. Bold and stupid. Shows that you are no different than any of the other clones."

This weekend my brain has been nothing but Hades2 and Boba Fett, so Happy May the 4th, enjoy the idea of this younger Boba meeting Omega in a spin-off version of my Hades AU

"old" Boba design (with Bobadin) - Boba and Omega WIP

#my art #hades au #boba fett #star wars #star wars fanart #sw fanart #boba fett fanart #digital art #artists on tumblr #Boba with stained glass behind glowing behind him is my ultimate weakness and my jam #if I don't do it in my art know that something bad has happened to me #also that was repurposed from that older art nouveau pinup picture of him - in case it was familiar for anyone #I did NOT expect to bang out the shading in one day #and I'm still unsure how it happened but the glow effect matches so well to what hades 2 does??#the art style there still drives me mad with confusion but I think this fits alright in the end #his face looks a little weird tho now so I'll just stop staring at him XD #be distracted by the glow!#younger boba fett #I can't call him young he's well in his 20s if not more XD
