#ask the eraser man

[i-can-not-art]

ALSO UMM could you draw rick shades from epithet erased 😭😭

Omg this made me remember when a couple years ago when I randomly binged epithet erased, almost completely forgot that show existed 💀

(Also sorry for the eye-burning cheese yellow background I didn’t have any ideas 😔)

said this on birdapp earlier cuz I've seen it but if you're planning to redesign Tallulah for the love of god don't take away her curly hair. you can separate her from that man if you change the beanie and sweater (even so people draw more the mushroom hat and the sweater depends on the artist) but her curly hair is part of her identity <- read her admin saying that short and curly hair is canon for Tallulah

that man doesn't own curly hair, his isn't that curly to be honest. not to the extent people draw Tallulah's hair anyway, she's also like one of the few eggs that is constantly drawn with curly hair

I could go on a tangent on how curly haired people (me included btw) struggle with self image and how it always end up with permanently straightening the hair but I feel like it's a conversation for another moment

but yeah the main point is please don't take away her main traits, same goes for her being mexican and having hearing aids

One thing that puzzles me about the fandom during season 4 and beyond is that so many people thought Matt was a teenager closer to Keith, Lance, and Hunk's age and so decided Shatt was illegal?? Just from Matt calling Shiro sir?? Like, if Matt was a teenager, he wouldn't have been sent to Kerberos??

no literally like…huh?? i call my sisters ma’am all the time. my dad calls his close friend professor simply bc like he is a professor lol. and my dad is not. shiro is the commander, sure, but that didn’t mean he suddenly became geriatric 😭😭 man the later seasons were a CLUSTERFUCK. so so glad a lot of people are starting to go like yeah what the hell was that. can we have fun now

[imliterallyjustablackgirl]

I'll say it, fuck it. Syd's ''teasing'' and being cursed out wouldn't have been the same if she was a white girl starting at '' the Beef'' now Bear.

Fight me.

[honks-n-stonks]

did charcoal stuff in class... sadly I will be unable to complete the great izuchi one as we're starting something new tomorrow and my teach asked me to hang it up in the hallway 🥹

the paolumu one is also a bit outdated as I added a some touches to it but blegghh

[sciderman]

thinking about Peter Parker falling in love with Wade and also falling in love with Johnny. maybe not falling in love with Nathan Summers but loving how much he and Wade love each other. Peter also falling in love with MJ and Felicia and Betty Brant and every person he has ever met and talked to. thinking bout the good time line where they're all in a polycule

that boy can fit so much love in him!!

funny, though - i don't think 9319 peter was in love with betty, exactly. not in the same way he was in love with gwen and johnny and wade and MJ and – i think what peter and betty had was a little bit different. i think they were kind of platonic. i mean - peter says it himself, he didn't know "love" until gwen.

i do think what peter and betty had was more akin to peter kind of wanting to prove he was a man. he got bit by a spider, and suddenly he felt like he was cool and could talk to girls. an older girl.

i think him dating betty was more of a wanting to prove himself and look cool instead of a genuine romantic interest - and while they were dating, peter was kind of so wrapped up in himself and his own insecurities to really get to know betty.

i think betty definitely liked peter, though. enough to remember all about his three freckles.

[x]

(see, betty pays attention. peter doesn't.)

i think now they're good friends, and know each other a lot better - and peter knows betty well enough to love her back, finally.

i kind of really adore peter and betty's dynamic. peter's still so embarrassed over how he was with her - how betty knows him from the most embarrassing era of his life - but they're still these kind of awkward friends who interact practically every day in a professional work environment but still have this playful flirtatiousness between them, because they have that awkward bit of history together. i love them. i love them. they're such an underrated pair.

Hi!! I don't know if you remember me, but I'm the person you explained the Castalia thing to a few days ago. I've been following you for a while now, but I just managed to go through your blog well and proper, and I'm here to express both my gratitude for the amount of info and links you've shared (I did NOT know about the hepatoscopy and haruspicy, and I'm about to go down a lengthy rabbit hole) and my horror at once again being given a new hyperfixation (I didn't imagine wanting to read about liver-divination help).

Also, also, are you the author of Exeunt Phoebus Apollo on AO3 because that was the fic that sent me on this greek mythology spree, and it's so good I got obsessed with Apollo, and he's everywhere around me now. Thank you for writing it!

AAAAAA THIS IS SO SWEET?? THANK YOU!! I do remember you and hey man, I'm always happy to help <33

I'm so glad to recruit someone else to my hepatoscopy group because it is a long and storied tradition with many many different types of study and schools of thought dating all the way back to the Sumerians! It's an extremely underrated bit of study when it comes to sketching portraits of divination and prophecy when it comes to adaptations of imaginings of greek myth works - similar to bird augury (which was such a widespread skill that most people had some level of understanding of the basics of what the omens of common birds meant the way people now can look at the clouds over head and know if it'll rain and when approximately that rain'll happen).

It's a great and common misunderstanding that things like prophecy and magic were these fantastic elements that had no tangible features to their practices and while there's nothing wrong with interpreting things as more fantastical for the sake of coolness or aesthetic, I personally think these elements are interesting enough to be worth looking into and portraying!

Also yes, I did write Exeunt 😳I'm very very honoured that you enjoyed my work so much and I'm even more grateful that it could let you see the Apollo in everything 💖 Thank you for reading it!!

"Battle of Alberta, right? It was my first game: Calgary, Edmonton. We would play them in the preseason, and you know—trying to make the team I'd always be asking him to fight in preseason, always. I'd be runnin' my mouth—like, tryna fight the biggest, baddest guys, tryna make an impression.

And he would never fight me. He'd always tell me, like If you make the team, I'll fight ya. You don't have to worry about that, but I'm not fightin' ya preseason. And I totally respect it, I'm not gonna chase him down. It is what it is. He's established—I'm looking for my chance.

So I get called up, we're playing Edmonton in Edmonton: Battle of Alberta. [He's] over there on the other side, and it's like the coolest thing ever... you know, the buildup was crazy 'cuz I knew if the opportunity presented itself—if the game went the way I hoped it would, I would get an opportunity to fight him.

I remembered in warmups tryna skate by the redline initially just kind-of gettin' a feel for it—to see if I have to say something or whatever... He's got no bucket on, his big, bald head is glarin' around, he skates by the redline with the biggest smile on his face, and just gives me the biggest wink...

At that moment I knew Okay, he remembers. It's gonna happen at some point.

We were up 1, I think it was 2-1 going into intermission or whatever—Oh, no, I think it was 1-1 and we had just scored so the position I'm like Yeah, I don't know if I can fight him now because we have the momentum and we're winning the game. I don't want to lose a fight, then we lose a game and now I'm, like, never getting a chance again.

You kind-of gotta play the game within the game like [...] there's an opportunity to fight, and there's an opportunities where you shouldn't fight. Things weren't looking good, then they score and now we need a spark. I'm like Fucking perfect.

I just skate by their bench and I'm like It's time, big boy! He jumps out, we line up, and he goes We squarin' up or we goin' right away?

I'm like I'm not fuckin' squarin' up with you right now! We're goin' right away!

Drop em, we go right away, grab each other. I know he's a lefty so he's gonna let go—let's go of my right arm before he throws one. I threw one. Big boy went down, he jumped back up pretty quick. I don't know, I tell people all the time, I'm like I would've been in the league fuckin' 2 years earlier if there was good footage of this fuckin' fight!

For some reason—For some reason, the cameras cut out. I don't know if [he] had his cousins working the cameras or something that night, or if they're in the video room or what happened.

That was my first NHL game.

It's funny 'cuz Chucky was there—Chucky's there and he knows, he saw, he always laugh when I say that I would've been in the league earlier 'cuz he knows how things like that go. You get a little bit of energy and buzz around ya, and then kind-of momentum takes you a little bit further but unfortunate[ly], I missed that opportunity but I don't regret a thing.

[...]

The opportunity was there, I just—unfortunately, for whatever reason, the Hockey Gods said not yet." (Ryan Lomberg reminiscing over his first NHL game/fight) (x)(x) (please go watch the second link to see lombos giant smile as he tells this story jfc)

and other genuinely bonkers things to say about a hockey player in your first fight... like why did this need to be said like that...what

[sifloopboning]

i need to make this clear ahead of time. any kingfrin i draw / write / talk about is ALWAYS t4t unless specified otherwise. this is never once relevant in-character in any way but it IS absolutely key to the experience i personally enjoy and provide 👍🏽

[daeluin]

anyways. since it's topical. funniest thing to me that period of time around 2013ish when people where all into patrick/brendon. only for patrick to hate that man's guts 😂😂😂😂

What app and what pencil do you use :3?

(I send u big hugs and hav a nice day :D♡)

Hehe. (Hugs back. I like hugs. XD) I believe someone else had a similar question before! I made this art then too to demonstrate how I use, Ibis Paint. The free beginner friendly drawing app! (No I'm not sponsored-) And as for the "pens", I usually go for the default brushes. As in the first basic ones you find on the app! ^v^ I've been promoting this idea for years and I'll never get tired of saying it! While fancier equipment IS nice, skills can ultimately outclass tools any day! =D In fact, sometimes limiting yourself can hone your creativity as it forces you to work with what you have and invent new ways of experimenting with materials that are often overlooked! That's how I learned. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ -Bubbly💙

but often i sit and i think of all the intent that when into fearne’s ruidusborn identity, predating imogen’s, and how it was intended for fearne and imogen to have that shared bond. the moon of ill omen forged them together in its ruddy glow. and imogen can see the energy flutter off fearne’s freckled skin, and fearne can catch an imperceptible growth in imogen’s marks, and fearne can watch like a hawk for any moment imogen might be lost to predathos, and she can desperately plan a way to save her.

orym once telling fearne that Fearne has to be the one to take imogen out. and fearne can’t. agree. fearne Can’t. Agree? that’s her thing!!!! she can’t even entertain the idea of imogen being lost to this, and she knows that all imogen wants is laudna, so what would this exandrian born fey really really do if there was an opportunity to take upon herself the evil meant for imogen. 

imogen dreading that she’s going to be the vessel, or her mother, and it’s taking her over, her skin is turning red and her marks blinding white, but then she sees fearne. and fearne's skin is turning red and rivulets of starlight curl along her horns, and imogen is there in that red nightmare thinking of when predathos almost took her and fearne's cry for her cut through, and in a cold sweat, shaking, imogen knows what fearne is doing. fearne's doing what she does best, right? she's taken something from someone else.

and it shouldn't work, oh no, no it shouldn't. fearne isn't an exaltant, fearne's personal bond with ruidus was nothing more than a faint red mist, and in the moments of great strife predathos touches his ruidusborn and exalts them. but what imogen can't see until after is that fearne watching imogen being eviscerated by the god-eater, is that that is fearne's moment of great strife and panic and pain. but this exalting is different. this surrender is different. fearne wants predathos to take her instead, a blind primal want, a mindless hunger; fearne wants to take it from imogen, needs to take her place. and this internal strength of fearne, this immovable determination, fearne is flooded with the heartbeat of the divine's oblivion and she can feel it. predator to predator, predathos recognizes a creature alone and caged and hungry, and how she wants predathos to take her instead. (cough, matron/vax/vex, cough!!!!!)

fearne no longer hiding behind the mask of her feelings, this girl who she loves, this girl who she needs to keep safe from the big bad wolf of their world, she can take predathos and she can take her desire and she can realize without shame or fear that perhaps they are one in the same.

this god-eater takes their hungriest child as a vessel, and exandria holds its breath as fearne looks down at existence, her stomach shredded itself apart in her hunger, and predathos pauses, because she cannot devour this world. it’s where imogen lives. it's where imogen can finally be happy and free.

and fearne bows her head, an outsider to exandria, an outcast to the fey, and she thinks of the place predathos came from, of That home, and what if that was always her home. she never belonged here, she has to go, predathos has to go. for her friends. for her Friends.

she brushes her hand against the marks sparking on imogen's cheek, and she smiles. imogen did change the world. fearne would've never been here otherwise.

and if beyond the grasp of the astral plane there is a withered husk the size of a moon floating dead and dying, fearne can smile one last time grateful beyond sense that the girl she loves didn’t have to bear this fate. and a nebula of lavender erupts somewhere beyond comprehension.

fearne was made for this. not for She Who Ate The Gods but She Who Took For Love. the fey plots who engineered fearne for their schemes, no. she was made to save imogen. and every smile imogen has from then on is because fearne couldn’t lose her. ruidus and predathos were the reason they lived the lives they lived, their lives ran parallel but never entwined, and fearne doesn’t care because how lucky was she to have been alive at the same time as imogen.

a loose color test wip of a painting im doing of richie from nerdy prudes must die

[quietlyrebellious01]

But Jesus was a jewish rabbi and later got all the christian vibes put upon him. And Superman was created by two jews and Hollywood had to christianfy him as well

EXACTLY! It's so frustrating and so uncomfortable. I hate it when the diversity and good things that makes characters *themselves* gets stripped away because of that sort of Hollywood Nonsense.

Like they at least acknowledged Clark being Jewish in the Reeves movies at least once (admittedly I have only seen the first and second films and that was a WHILE ago, but I remember being so happy about it because it was the 80's and my expectations were low), and that was in the 80's. In the later 2010's there is absolutely no call for that nonsense, and frankly no excuse. (It's a Superman/ Superman involved movie for goodness sake. The man's whole thing is love, justice and acceptance.)

I just hope that they don't do it to MAWS or the new film in 2025. But MAWS seems to be socially aware so there's that at least!

[darlin-djarin]

do you have any muslim barriss headcanons?

i mean barriss being a muslim is a headcanon in itself but really i think headcanons, especially about religion, are really influenced by the culture that the person comes from. i don't really know a lot about mirialans in general so i can't say much about my opinions on how barriss practices islam because it does depend from culture to culture. i DO think that barriss probably teaches or talks a lot about it to ahsoka, who probably really loves listening to what barriss has to say. i also think barriss would be the type to mutter under her breath stuff like "astaghfirullah" or "alhamdulillah" whenever appropriate, because tbh most muslims do that anyway. i think barriss and other muslims would take long rests and meditate more often during ramadan, and i think the jedi council would approve of it and let people take time away from battles and missions for all those who practice as well. ahsoka probably tries fasting with barriss one day and fails so bad lmao. i also really like barriss' and anakin's dynamic- something about those two interacting is very special to me- so i think when barriss likes to tag along with ahsoka and anakin on missions, anakin is always very interested in listening and learning from barriss, and tries to be as respectful as possible and giving her space and looking away from her if her modesty is accidentally broken. barriss is just very special to me and i think her interactions with others is what makes her character so interesting.
