Explain your ships as best you can, and as worst you can
okay just for xander and laslow BUT
best: a prince and his retainer who seem drastically apart find closeness and similarity both in their burdens, and how they carry them. in all the love they give to others and how they don't often grant it to themselves. they use their differences to bring out something good in each other, and start figuring themselves out along the way, too.
worst: "im dating my boss and it Gets Worse"

Do you play genshin impact or honkak a
Star rail?
I don't play Honkai, but I've just started looking into Genshin Impact's story (someone described Neuvillette's character to me and I was like. hmm. HMM.) I haven't gotten far yet -- really JUST started looking at it -- but I'm looking forward to more! :D
(I know almost nothing about these characters yet, I'm probably drawing them SUPER wrong, sorry)

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems
#sketchbook#scrapbook#Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at#but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open#image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best#medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a#limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont#know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and#excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines#and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch#pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color#or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being#'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my#outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one#more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page#before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then#was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down#stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and#having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's#a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the#scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol#Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube#face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to#work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time#be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm#(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a#pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

The fact that there is no dialogue with Karlach where Tav can suggest that she and Dammon maybe get to know each other a little better is tragic to me.
I want to set up my friend with the sweet tiefling blacksmith. LET ME SET THEM UP.

I’ve accidentally started saying “brills” unironically in my everyday conversations… and let me tell you- that is not slang that is used here, ever.

#im having a real doc brown crude model moment here over the fit LMAO.#marty mcfly#bttf fanart#bttf#back to the future#not Exactly what you asked for? i could not bear to draw the fancy stick alas. and it's more of a prince vibe than a king vibe#bc if this guy held any sort of significant position of power something would combust#ik it's a silly doodle but of course i gotta make up some context bc that's part of the fun. YAP SESSION WARNING#i was thinking that doc and marty were dicking around somewhere in a place and period of time with a monarchy. for Science#and for one reason or another he ends up getting mistaken for royalty or something. may or may not be related to how straight his teeth are#so they drag his ass back to the palace and marty has No Fucking Clue what's happening. meanwhile doc is on the verge of a stroke#i think it would be really funny if some princess got infatuated with marty and now he has the plot of the first movie on his hands again#except instead of him ceasing to exist it's like. the entire history of a country#so doc's trying to get him out of there and marty's trying to let this chick down gently bc he doesn't want her to like. kill him or smth#and also there's probably a tannen thrown in there too bc why the hell not#i don't even like royalty aus that much for this fandom but somehow i've got a decent amount of thoughts about this LMAO.#you asked for a silly doodle and somehow it came with a whole fic idea too. whoops#anyone want to take this idea and run with it feel free to#kit does an art#kit yap session#<- bc of the sheer amount of tag on this

my hot fandom take is that discouraging authentic interaction with fanworks through arbitrary "rules" and increasingly limited and prescriptive scripts of "acceptable" interactions damages fandom as a community perhaps just as much as passive, entitled consumers who demand free labor from fan creators without offering interaction in return
#i just don't know what creators expect when they throw a fit if another fan acts in any way other than the two prescribed emotions they're#'allowed' to have#this is spurred on by fic deletion discourse ftr but it's not limited to it#you're allowed to delete your fics. of course you are. it's your fic#but the fans of your fic are also allowed to be visibly and publicly upset#implying they shouldn't be is saying you don't think people should forge personal connections with your art#which is of course antithetical to art#both actions are allowed AND understandable. you as a creator don't have the right to dictate how people should feel about your work#the only thing that accomplishes is pushing people away. discouraging them from engaging authentically#this also extends to stuff like creating arbitrary etiquette rules around concrit or 'concrit'#yeah it absolutely sucks to get unsolicited crit in your comments. of course it does. you worked hard on that#but saying people should never criticize a fic means that well meaning fans will avoid engaging authentically with any fic at all#because they internalize that speaking about a fic beyond 'i love this!' is somehow rude to an author#and this is NOT a hypothetical. i see this exact behavior all the time. they're too scared of offending to be genuine or contribute to art#art is a discussion. if you refuse to let other people participate in that discussion then you are just as much at fault for the destructio#of the community as passive consumers are. all because you don't want your feelings hurt#unfortunately you DO have to accept that someone may be rude to you or behave inappropriately about your art#in order to get authentic feedback from other not-rude people. there's no getting around it#but people seem to have chosen isolation over community yet again. because we're all scared of criticism and judgment#alas!

Sappy Little Post hehe...
Happy Holidays, nyall! I hope the day is treating you well whether you're running solo or with family/loved ones. :D
Just in case I'm too busy on New Years, I just wanted to say I appreciate each and every one of you so much whether we've interacted or not!
As much as the tumblr tk community has it's ups and downs, I have to say I have the most fun posting and interacting on here than I do other social media sites. And it's because of all of you, old and new, making the space a comfortable and chill experience. ; ;
I've also met some wonderful people on here! And even though we don't talk much, the times we do talk I cherish greatly.
(Sorry for the tags but!) Shout outs to @thornoisdono @xsezzie @ppystkposts @asbestoswater and @pingobuparts they come to mind immediately! We might not talk too much (mostly on my end especially as of late because I've been busy) but I think of you guys very often and how kind you've been to me! Y'all have been nothing but wonderful and a joy to talk to. Thank you for making the end of the year a lot less lonely and being a light in these hard times just by being yourselves! 💕
Thank you ALL for supporting me, I know I've been a bit of a downer, especially this month with everything going on, but I can't express enough how much I appreciate those of you who reach out, check in, send kind words, or just give me the opportunity to interact with your lovely selves!
You're all super wonderful, mutuals or not, and I adore each and every one of you. n_n
Stay safe out there, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year (soon)!

The poem evokes human greatness and human vulnerability. People are “godlike” in their courage and skill, but even the greatest mortals fall and clutch the dust between their bloody fingers. The beautiful word minunthadios , “short-lived,” is used of both Achilles and Hector, and applies to all of us. We die too soon, and there is no adequate recompense for the terrible, inevitable loss of life. Yet through poetry, the words, actions, and feelings of some long-ago brief lives may be remembered even three thousand years later.
--Emily Wilson's introduction to the Iliad
#so. we've come to the Iliad section in my Early World Literature class. and in that context we're utilizing the public domain translation by#A. S. Kline which made me think: you know what would be extremely fucking cool? since I'm going to have access to the Kline text until#the course closes in December. why don't I at least start the Wilson version and see how the two translations differ? so I'm now reading#The Iliad#as translated by Wilson and performed by the utterly masterful Audra McDonald. or well. I _would be except I'm so delighted. stunned. by#the incisive thought-provokingness of her introduction I keep needing to pause and write down various quotes: just this whole idea of#the poem revolving around how all all our deaths shall come too soon and there is no adequate compensation for that awful fact just FUCK#linguistics#mythology#folklore#fairy tales#lit geekery#book babbling#(oh I am already so fucking deep in this fannish hell and I haven't even really started her translation: like the Kline one is fine. but#it's very focused on *trying* to be Homeric you know? so there are all these very archaic references ala to Apollo#as Smintheus. which I then have to stop and look up oh. that means he's the mouse god and being the mouse god is important because#it ties back to him being an oracular god. which is then why the Greeks want to turn to another oracular god when he gets all pissy at them#and on one level. learning that mice were associated with the power of prophecy? extremely cool shit. on the other. well I have to#read a large chunk of this text in a fucking week Kline my good bud was it really necessary to provide an odd mouse reference I then#needed to find the context for *myself* I can already tell Wilson's tendency to provide context. both in the intro and just in general#wanting to make it readable terms will make this so! much easier of an introduction. (Kline. by contrast. would be really fucking cool if#you were a third-time reader and wanted all the marvelous nuance. just *rubs forehead* not a great intro when you're only focusing on#this text for a fucking week)
