Have you watched dead boy detectives yet? I think you’d like it. Canon gay ships!

I’m gonna be real with you, man. Absolutely fucking nothing I heard about that show made it sound even remotely interesting to me before, and now, the idea of even interacting with stuff tangentially attached to Gaiman makes me feel physically ill. I’m not watching that.

#i still wouldn’t watch it because it looks extremely boring. i did not watch it before for this reason.#but I *can’t* watch it now. you understand?#like i also probably wasn’t going to watch good omens s3 beyond wanting to see how bad it would be. but i. cannot do that now.#which sucks. but also like fine whatever those things don’t really impact me i guess. because i wasn’t going to interact with them anyway.#but i am still. i am trying to. i don’t know how to explain to anyone how i can’t do this. beyond just repeating it.#and that’s fine for things i wasn’t going to give a shit about anyway but there were things i did care about!#sorry you didn’t ask for this anon. you just hit a nerve. i’m sure that wasn’t your intention.#i am just. i don’t know. i’m still fucking angry. i’m just fucking angry.#the selfish and terrible thing about our relationship to an artist is that it is through the art. so the way this gets verbalized is as #being upset that the *art* has been taken away from you.#and that looks like a childish response in the context of it all. because how can you talk about art when people have been hurt.#but what remains is that i didn’t fucking know the man but i knew the art. and it doesn’t go away.#sorry god this is getting so off topic its. it doesn’t fucking go away. we’ve got posts on posts of ‘here’s what you should watch instead.#here’s what you should read instead. top 10 things to replace the artist that turned out to be a shit person’ but it doesn’t fucking go awa #that i didn’t read those things! did i! i can’t go back and unread anything! i can’t unwatch things!#of course we talk about the art that was taken away from us when these things happen. its selfish. its not what the conversation should #focus on. but of course we do. because it is violating that it was/is a part of you and now you can’t take it back.#anyway. that’s why im not watching you show anon. also because it looked boring. mostly it looked boring.#but also the other stuff.#ask

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?

#This was prompted by a specific thing but it is also about dozens and dozens of things #Everyone going “XYZ is actually bad” like congratulations I wasn't saying stuff can't be bad.#I was saying that you should ask yourself these questions first bc sometimes it's just not to your sensibility.#Former Prime Queue-sector of the Trust #ETA: now that it's been months and this is going around again while certain conversations happen in other fandoms I'm in #It's good to clarify what specifically set off this post even tho it applies to many things. But this was about someone #saying Midst is thematically and narratively incoherent bc it wasn't “everyone is miserable forever and nobody gets better” like they wante

missed the mark by (looks at calendar) uhhh. hm. but I really wanted to do something for the 5th anniversary! happy five years to these idiots 🎉

#art #twisted wonderland #twst 5th anniversary #i'll stop for a while now i promise i just wanted to get this out #genuinely feels a bit weird to be 5 years in already huh!#that combined with having finally finished up episode 7...#oh no all the milestones hit at once help #hold on while i reminisce for a moment #because MAN i did not expect the anime disney boy game to become so special to me #(especially my little wet rat dragon and his family)#to be fair 2020 onward was uhhh let's say prime timing for a piece of silly and unapologetically indulgent media #(not to get too real here or anything but let's just say that. some of the stuff in 7 specifically did hit a bit harder than it should've.)#but also just. you know how it goes.#sometimes a thing doesn't so much speak to you as it reaches out and grabs you by the throat #with an intensity that shocks and bewilders no one more than you #and sure you can ignore it because having any emotions about media beyond faint scorn is of course the epitome of ~cringe~#but you could also just throw yourself wholeheartedly into it #and lemme tell you one of those options is a hell of a lot more fun #idk i'm just kinda rambling here #it's been a weird five years but i'm glad to have had these guys for it #and hey if nothing else it gave us meleanor #the inside of my brain at any given point is just the 'do it for her' meme covered in pictures of our late great dragon princess #i would not have it any other way

One of my favourite questions for figuring out a character’s motivations is which qualities they most fear being assigned to them. Are they afraid (consciously or unconsciously) of being seen as stupid? Ungrateful? Weak? Incompetent? Lazy? Cowardly? Intimidating? Like they actually care? etc.

It’s such a fun way to explore into who they are, why they do what they do, what they don’t do out of fear, and how they might be affected by the events of the story. And I love when characters have negative motivations—trying to avoid something (in this case, being seen a particular way) as much as they’re trying to achieve a goal.

#it’s also a great question to think about yourself lmfao #ttrpgs #(is usually where I think about this but it’s good for other character building too)#my stuff

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.

#like I love sex im glad we're hyping it up #but also genuinely some of you have got to learn how to be normal around people who dont want to have sex #even if you're not talking about asexuality when you say stuff like that you're still being a weirdass #im not ace myself but i keep seeing posts that come across like they're taking it personally that other people don't want to have sex #it sounds like theyre trying to prove something to someone

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

#fanart #billford #bill cipher #stanford pines #gravity falls #book of bill #i watched gravity falls because i was curious about all the Toxic Old Man Yaoi on my dash and wanted context #turns out most of the context was in the book of bill tho lmao #look they either banged or married or both while drunk and i will accept no other possibilities #you don't use the phrase 'and one thing led to another' in a PRIVATE JOURNAL if what happened wasn't salacious in some way #i mean - ford didn't exactly grow up in The Most Inclusive Time Period???#dude was probably like 'gotta use this wording for plausible deniability - NO ONE can know i boinked the talking triangle'#in other news - i must bully the baby billy #don't know how much more GF stuff i'll toss up here but i have a few other little scribbles in the works. probably won't color them tho lol #also don't ask me why bill's bowtie stays where it is despite his “pants” being under it. just. just fucking don't ok???#EDIT: oh and since i see this a lot in this fandom for some reason: DO NOT REPOST THIS PLZ K THX :D

Not these two again (I will do it again).

Ummmm, soon-to-be father-son angst or something.

Jason's line after this was originally: "I don't need a lecture from the guy who swapped his scales and sword for cigarettes and guns," but I have other stuff I wanna move on to and the frames kinda got fucked, sooo.

Ko-Fi.

#This WIP was rotting in my folder for a week. I just had to shove it out because I was going a little mental. I hate having WIPs.#Hence why the drawings themselves aren't the best and aren't consistent with my other stuff.#Anyway yeah.#Also hooray!

my top bit of advice going into the new year: compliment people. especially strangers. literally everyone you interact with if you can. when you buy coffee in the morning compliment the barista's tattoos. when you're chatting with a coworker tell them that by the way you like their outfit. always find something they've chosen to do on purpose. nail polish, jewellery, tattoos, hair colour/style, statement accessory, outfit, etc are all good bets. things people hope will be noticed. things that aren't too personal so it doesn't make them uncomfortable (eg probably not their physical features). i've gotten into the habit of scanning everyone i talk to for something about them that i think is cool so i can tell them. it's a great habit because it makes me notice people and realise just how many neat little details there are in people's presentation of themselves that might pass me by if i wasn't paying attention. and it brings out so much joy. you'd be surprised how much it disarms people to receive an unexpected compliment from someone they don't know. it is the most sincere smile you will see all day long. it feels nice to make people happy but it also means you win the social interaction. establish dominance by complimenting a stranger's earrings and disappearing into the fog

#rookposting #the little 'oh!' followed by a big grin is now my highlight in every interaction i have with a stranger #you can always spot the things people hope will be noticed and you have no idea how happy it makes people when it gets noticed #i find it's always better to compliment things they did deliberately vs complimenting stuff like their voice or their face or other things #that are inherent or they cant change because that can make people uncomfortable for one thing to hear that from a stranger #but it's also just less meaningful imo because they didnt do that on purpose

AU idea: PV never regains memories, ancients don't reunite and the beasts are freed. Soul jam's powers are weak so SMilk aims to forcefully make PV remember and takes him to the spire (Little does SM know he'll get attached to this little compassionate Healer)

More details about this AU (currently called Slumbering Truth AU): Basically it starts off with Smilk being terrible and basically doing what he was doing in the 8th episode, trying to make PV remember and playing with his mind for his entertainment. He knows who PV used to be but PV knows nothing about him or his own past. He's confused as to why would this powerful cookie need him but decides to submit in exchange for the village being safe.

At first Healer is uncomfortable and nervous but gradually despite Smilk's intimidating look decides to play along his games and get to know him better. Smilk is surprised by the other's behavior (and unexpected wits and trickery) and what started with the urge to break PV down slowly became an urge to keep the other close since the other's intentions to know him were genuine and comforting and SMilk hated the thought of losing that (not that he'd admit that. he needs that Healer to see him suffer, right?).

Now he doesn't want Healer to remember, he doesn't snap at that cookie as much, he wants him to stay in this blissful lie because if PV knew the truth then he'd definitely leave Smilk and lock him again. If Healer knew the truth he'd turn against him instantly, Smilk was sure. For the first time in a long time, Smilk felt like he found someone to who he was connected and he wasn't going to let anything ruin that.

(It's a wip so I might change some stuff along the way)

#mmelart #Slumbering Truth AU #cookie run kingdom #shadow milk crk #shadow milk cookie #pure vanilla cookie #pure vanilla crk #shadowvanilla #pureshadow #vanilla milkshake #it wasn't supposed to be a shadowvanilla AU but the voices said otherwise #it was also supposed to be darker but I changed my mind and made it lighter- I'm not that good with writing dark stuff #I thought of the first part of this AU while vacuuming and the other while showering I guess it's a sign I need to be more productive-#Anyway Smilk is still terrible at expressing and processing feelings and PV even with no memories has 'I can fix him' mentality #(and surprisingly he can ngl impressive)#Also it's kinda chaos and destruction outside the spire- but who knows maybe once PV remembers he can fix it too- right?

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!

and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!

#i mostly made this for me but i hope it can help other people too!#also thinking about maybe putting this on smth like gumroad so people can download a high quality pdf to print themselves #lmk if anyone would be interested in that 👀#my art #artists on tumblr #stretches #edit: this post popped off okay‚ also a lot of people expressed interest so i made a gumroad! maybe ill put other stuff there thatd be cool
