‼️SPOILERS FOR ACE ATTORNEY INVESTIGATIONS (1 AND 2) AND THE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY‼️
Plus Kazuma, Phoenix ect
Add characters that you think would fit the category
(Btw I'm not justifying their actions, but man do I feel bad for them. After one point their lives became a freaking greek tragedy)
#ace attorney#ace attorney investigations#the great ace attorney#dai gyakuten saiban#tgaa 2#tgaa2 spoilers#tgaa spoilers#aai1#aai2#aai1 spoilers#aai2 spoilers#dai gyakuten saiban 2 spoilers#dai gyakuten saiban spoilers#tyrell badd#tobias gregson#genshin asogi#klint van zieks#katherine hall#they were doomed by the narrative and injustice in their world#and while their actions are very bad. you can see how they tried their best and failed miserably#mostly because they took justice in their own hands. because people with power who should bring this justice literally did nothing#klint and other aristocrats had the status that protected them from punishment for corruption. genshin and klint dueled#leaving a lot of people without answers and closure. hence gregson agrees to strongheart's proposal#no matter how hard badd tried the proper justice wasn't served because prosecutors and lawyers couldn't give less of a crap.#hence he thought becoming the yatagarasu might improve the situation#kate's adoptive father was put in a cell for 18 years for no fault of his own because - once again - people in power didn't care for truth#there is always something so tragic in these situations. because. yes#they did terrible things and they deserved their punishment#and there always was another way to bring better into the world. but you still can fully understand why they did what they did#could've they done better? yes. did they? no. were people in power trying to help and find the truth? absolutely not. sad.

Watched nezha reborn recently and though there were major pacing issues w the movie it was worth it bc of some kickass designs,,, or in other words decided to do pose practice and thought i cant not draw him
#new gods nezha reborn#sun wukong#nezha reborn#artings#mask#i have sooo many thoughts on how the movies pacing could be improved because as a whole the story itself works its just feels breakneck#a marathon on 2x speed where it feels more like chunks of scenes and like a bunch of video game cutscenes made into a movie#or just movie trailer footage put together#its too bad bc theres some really great scenes and fun ideas#and while some deisgns are lacking others make up for it#information is also just delivered in big chunks of exposition and noone ever really stops to just process#its just go go go go#again genuinly see so much potential and the environment deisgn is great just aughh

glass cathedral - an experiment in concepts and shapes and textures or whatever and refusing to ever ever finish the back of the build EVER
#mmmmmyea it’s a cathedral with a glass tower stuck in th middle of it. YUP. WHATTTTEVER!#needs 2 be powerwashed ASF#minecraft#mineblr#minecraft build#minecraft cathedral#bsl shaders#lode-builds#interior? i hardly know her.#do not ask about what the inside of this build looks like matter of fact dont even THINK about it!!#this is the biggest build ive made in a while and im happy with it but i thjnk it can also be improved#i got off to a great start w the shapes and stuff but kind of lost steam towards the top#and texturing it was harder than i thought itd be thats usually the easier part for me!!#idk i feel like i kinda just had a cool concept then lodeified it with the pipes and stuff so ill probably come revisit it later#and make it even awesomer#but im still glad I made something so BIG at the very least HEEHEE

LISTEN, some MK11 men are kinda fine-
Nah trust me I know, I have a preference for the mk11 kuai liang over the mk1 version
#Hanzo is also great#he’s quite literally the cutest thing ever in mk11#the way he constantly raises his eyebrows in shock while he’s in the background is so cute to me#I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH#mk1 drastically improved Johnny cage#he went from the most boring looking pe teacher to the flashy son of a bitch he is now#and I love it#I don’t like what they did with Kitana though#I mean don’t get me wrong I think the new face model is stunning#but she just doesn’t give off the same commanding and assertive vibes#did Sonya’s face model change? can anyone tell? I’m not sure if it’s a rendering thing or not#but I also prefer her mk11 look#I know liu kang has the same face model but I HEAVILY prefer how he looks in mk11#I’ve drawn that version of liu kang like 10x more than the mk1 version

its DESTINY
#repostober#day 18 actually on time! wow#undertale#papyrus#danganronpa#dr1#kiyotaka ishimaru#yes. mashing favorite things together again#but it was meant to be#so many similarities between these two goofs#loud eccentric passionate autistic supportive of their friends always wearing the same outfit EASILY the best character in their franchise#HARDWORKING TO THE POINT OF WORKAHOLISM!!!!!!! UPLIFTING OTHERS WITHOUT ERASING OR DIMINISHING THEIR OWN GREATNESS!!!!!!#always eats the same thing (taka - rice balls toast and a banana- papyrus - DINOSAUR EGG OATMEAL NOT SPAGHETTI sorry its a pet peeve)#kindhearted and so aggressive about it genuinely believe that anyone can improve themselves and theyre both so silly and quirky all the tim#literally the only differences that i can think of are that taka would throw himself overboard if someone authoritative told him to#before they could even finish their sentence while papyrus is an anarchist arsonist who cusses and his intended jokes are actually funny#' * SIGH * ... WHAT A TROUBLED YOUNG HUMAN ... 'FUCK' ISN'T EVEN IN HIS RARE VOCABULARY ! HOW DOES HE FUNCTION UNDER THESE CONDITIONS ??#he would take taka under his wing and get him back on the straight and narrow (give him weed)#and i feel like after the three day long yell over how a skeleton is walking and talking as if that were normal he'd really look up to him#fav things about this are the way takas shirt hangs off of papyrus' rib cage cus theres nothing there but a spine#that was so fun to draw sdfhg#taka cosplaying papyrus is my gift to humanity today

new rt everyone shes a freak whos pretty sure shes been been given the role of rogue trader as an act of divine intervention to eventually replace the godemperor and bring new glory to the imperium which she thinks is dull and stagnant. dont worry about why she keeps marazhai caged in her trophy room like he's bait its not important and completely irrelevant to the fact ive joke nicknamed her simon thresh. has anyone noticed a lot of slaaneshi demons during warp jumps lately
#warhammer rogue trader#rogue trader#marazhai aezyrraesh#von valancius#if i ever mention about marazhai going insane on the voidship this is what i want you to think of#understimulated predator animal in a cage claws itself open#its worse with her but i do think he generally feels kinda insane anyway#yeah he's tricked into thinking she's tolerable and a fair alternative to the arena then hes taken to the voidship#yrliet [who was the fixation until now] tries to warn him about her before getting her head bashed in infront of him#spirit stone smashed into shards for ritual use body dragged off for vague poor medical knowledge dissection#he is now thinking the arena might not be so bad after all. except he's got no way to back out of this so hes screaming clawing at the wall#shes not giving him up willingly and the only person who could take him by force is calcazar whos not a great alternative tbh!#so he gets to go insane being bait for the chaos god he's already ocd fixated is stealing his soul [on top of normal drukhari fears]#and he's not able to maul anyone else while locked up so its just him dealing with this alone! yay#she doesnt give a shit about pasqal until he gets xenotech in him. then he goes to the trophy room too for study/more grafts#heinrix is most likely captive in the trophy room too with his death faked so he cant snitch#idira Almost got in trouble too for the implant she gets from tervantias but then it breaks and this lass is just angry at her#the Only reason she doesnt feed her to the wolves and kick her out is her door. and she is now trying to force it open with a crowbar#abelard has to deal with her shit and manage it socially. he never thought he'd want to retire but fucking hell when can he quit#she likes jae mostly for her connections. toxic yuri theyre both using eachother#she briefly idolises achilleas for bringing her to commorragh but then finds out he did it under torture and didnt want to. mad at him#he can make it up to her once hes a wrack though [he is going next to marazhai. this will only improve both their mental states]#can you tell this freak is a piece of work yet#shes got screams of the damned volume 3 playing across the ship and shes having a great time but is completely deadpan the whole time#unrelated! you can finally see my idea of marazhai next to a normal fucking human good god. yeah i think hes huge

This time last year I would drive out to shows an hour and a half away from me and my back would already be in pain by the time I arrived. All I could do was stand there and nod along and stand one or two rows back from the pit and hold my arm up to keep people standing if they knocked back into me. By the end of the show I would be fatigued and my feet, my back, my neck, and my shoulders would be in moderate to severe pain, even if I took a naproxen before I left.
Last night I went to a show the same distance from me where the headliner had an hour and a half set. I was on the edge of a rowdy push pit full of sturdy to beefy dudes in their 30s and 40s and even on the edge there was a lot of dancing and jumping and shoving. I honestly only recognized one song from the headliner but I was having the time of my life and was incredibly sweaty and tired out by the end, and only my feet were mildly sore, not even having taken pain meds
It only really struck me last night just how different my experience is now to when I started going to shows regularly 2 years ago, and especially last year at my worst point with pain, and it got me reflecting on what's changed.
I had a breast reduction/top surgery. I had physical therapy, which I'm still seeing the benefits of even though I definitely had some deconditioning after surgery. I switched to slightly better shoes. I also have a different car and the head rest doesn't tilt my neck forward lol. I can't tell if I'm more active or not - I've been going to more shows and going on like 1 or 2 10-min walks per week, but my job changed from hybrid to fully remote so it's hard to tell.
The best part though? Fatphobes can get absolutely wrecked because in the past year I've put on maybe 20-25lbs and my knee and hip pain are gone so🖕🖕
#I think the PT and surgery are the biggest factors but the rest adds up!#I was feeling down the past few weeks about still not having great stamina or strength but yesterday put into perspective how far I've com#I don't feel so hopelessly deep in a hole - maybe I can still make even more quality of life improvements to my activity level like this#And I did it without spiralling into unhealthy attitudes and behaviors to do with exercising even while experiencing shame in that category#Anyway I'm in my 30s and getting back out there after a looot of isolation in the first 3 yrs of the pandemic. It's hard but worth it 🖤#*masked through all this too!

I noticed something I don't like about self-improvement blogs on Tumblr. A lot of them who claim to be goal focused, are all very similar in the sense that they prioritise physical appearances and aesthetic over more ugly or rough truths about growth.
They're all pale pink, girly, sparkly, use Pinterest pictures of pretty girls like Bella Hadid, that model from the terrible Idol show, k-pop girls and celebrities who're pretty. It all just seems so plastic to me because they encourage overconsumption, buying certain products that you can get for so much cheaper, some examples are the Apple headset, those Stanley cups, pink and pastel gym sets, pricey skin care products and makeup like the dior lip gloss.
At first, those blogs looked attractive and eye catchy due to the moodboards of pretty pictures, but after, i realized the advice and self-improvement tips are mostly surface level and vague.
I know that those bloggers have good intentions behind running those blogs, but it won't take away from the fact that everything is seen through pink lenses. Everything is sugar-coated to look pretty, to match those perfect pictures of coquette-esque girls, mostly skinny, and sometimes of colour instead of Caucasian white.
Then there's a certain point where those blogs don't really post any valuable advice anymore, they instead post pictures together that match, add some tags and wait for the notes to roll in.
At some point, I found myself being distracted by photos of playboy models wearing pastel pink dresses, Lana Del Ray photos that were edited to look vintage, bedrooms that had a colour scheme of pink, white and gray, collections of dior makeup, shoes, bags, collectibles, soaps, you get the gist.
#something I've written in my Google docs a while ago#thought it'd be great to share it#self love#self care#self improvement#girlblogging#just girly things#girl boss#pink aesthetic#pink doll#txt#rant#vent#overconsumption#ranting#capitalism#pink pilates princess#pink pilates girl#pink pilates aesthetic

Short little animatic for @whumpsday 's Kane and Jim!! :D The audio is from Gastronauts on DropoutTV
This was partially inspired by this ask and a few others I've seen about an AU where Jim has a dog
Some musings about it and the transcript can be found under the cut:
Anyway, yep, this is just a short, low-quality, silly little animatic that I started making at a responsible time in the past.
Oh, what was that time you ask? It was just *checks notes* on October 11... which was almost two months ago.....
yeah it was 95% done and then I lost the motivation to do anything productive for awhile lol. But I have finally pushed myself to finish it!!! :D
Getting Jim's hair right was hard at first and I'm still not sure if this is 100% accurate, but I think this looks good on him! And I didn't feel like coloring Kane in, so enjoy this literally paper white boy!
And to put this out there, I generally think comparing someone's trauma response to an animal isn't good, but this is how the audio went so just don't think about it too hard lol. The story already has a lot of dehumanization in it anyway.
Transcript:
Kane: I have had a relationship to food where no matter how much food I have had, I always sort of feel that I will never have food again. And so, when I eat, I need it to be enough food so that when that likelihood that I'll never find more food happens, I ate a lot the last time I ate.
Jim: My dog has that.
#art#my art#animatic#kane & jim#btw yall should check out gastronauts#the first episode (where this audio is from) is on youtube for free#and they post shorts of the best moments on yt too#it's a cooking show but the jugdes are all just improv comedians and it's very very funny#i enjoy watching professional chefs try to win challenges where the prompts are often wacky and the jugdes don't know shit#one of the people in episode 1 did not seem to grasp the concept of making food while under a time limit#and it was great

just watched the borderlands movie and the only good part was that krieg’s little harness thingo lowkey looked like a very skimpy little bra thing sometimes
he needs some back support with those jugs ofc
#it wasn’t AS bad as I thought it would be#but it was not good#at all#idk why they changed so much of the story and just like Made It Worse#why did they make Tina’s dad head of atlas? why not just keep her parents killed off? why did they mischaracterise her so badly?#why was she annoying? why was she an experiment? why not use a more compelling villain than Guy Who Looks And Acts As Bland As Possible#the villain was simply. no good#I wish they used jack 😔#I also wish they didn’t do the Lilith’s mum subplot bc it was a little off??? somehow?#and Tannis and Lilith’s relationship wasn’t particularly fulfilling#claptrap was even more annoying#the jokes weren’t funny#the sfx were NOT as bad as everyone said they were I’m sorry I thought they were fine aside from a few weird shots in some chase sequences#another thing I don’t get that much was ppl hating Lilith’s hair bc it’s doesn’t look like in the games#ppl compared the wig to wigs that cosplayers use that look rly accurate and good but#u have to take into account#that it’s rly hard to stylise a live action movie to look something like boarderlands and most cosplays are made to look good statically#things that look good in cosplay and in the game will not look good in a live action action sequences#like if u gave her a cosplay wig it would look great and accurate but it also would be completely rigged in the wind and would not move#like real hair#which would probably be incredibly jarring to see in a live action film especially with all the action#was the hair great? no. I still think it could’ve been vastly improved on while remaining realistic for a live action movie#but I think some people hold it to unrealistic standards in their criticisms or whatever#also costumes have to be actually movable and breathable bc REAL people are shooting REAL scenes and doing stunts and shit in them#but. yeah. the costumes could definitely have had some improvement#I think that if u wanted to make a borderlands film that was accurate to the design of the characters it would be easier to do it animated#and the writing?#we do not speak about the writing good lord#borderlands movie#borderlands

A month or two ago someone asked me what the funniest comment I've ever received on a fanfic was and I didn't have the willpower to sift through all thousand and something. While rereading my old Narilamb series I found the one and only true answer.
#hannah's rambles#cult of the lamb#narilamb#this goes in main tag because this comment is a literary masterpiece actually#anyway i've been rereading because i totally nanowrimo-ed that series and while it is still beloved#and one of my favorites of my own works as well#i NEEDED to rewrite it so im scouring it for things to expand upon c:#got a great list so far!?#i'm adding at LEAST five chapters and expanding/improving the others massively#i saw this again yesterday and only remembered to post because someone i'm following got the same question LOL shoutout to bam and anon
