Look.
I was happy there were English subtitles this time, and so soon.
But.

Oh dear.
Yes.

anyone who thinks dostoevsky's writing is dry and humourless is missing out on passages like this
#🐉#i dont think my version is the most common translation because its worded a bit differently#(but still gets the same point across)#however im glad because this bit makes me howl every time i remember it

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously
#don’t mind me just chewing on drywall#some of the absolute best comics don’t look remotely impressive until you try to make one yourself#and some absolutely beautiful panel layouts and art combine to make a stunning visual that barely manages to get any meaning across#you have to emulate cinematography by cultural necessity at this point#but if you lean too hard in that direction your comics just become Worse Movies#there’s barely any standard practices for anything because people are just barely starting to look at comics seriously#mumbling

FanFiction.net is not gone.
Right now it's a victim of DNS (Domain Name Service) spoofing. This means that a malicious party is trying to steal traffic from FFn by purchasing a very similar domain.
Correction:
The new "fake" site that people are seeing still belongs to FanFiction.net—they just misconfigured their servers and are not redirecting traffic from the bare fanfiction.net to the main site at www.fanfiction.net. There is likely no malicious agent. Didn't mean to scare anyone! Just wanted to let people know the site wasn't deleted!
So if you want to read fanfiction and not see leaves, you have have to type out "www.fanfiction.net".
Please share so people stop panicking.
#i was not expecting this to become ANYWHERE near as popular as this is#sorry for the misinformation concerning why the website wasn't working#just wanted to get the point across the ffn isn't dead#fanfiction#ffn#fanfiction.net#fanfiction dot net#fanfictionnet#ff net#purs post#psa

visually impaired and still rockin'!
tails built the visor for him. it acts as a multi-tool: a screen reader and a proximity sensor. you know, like how when you're in a car and it'll beep when you get too close to something? sonic uses it to navigate at super-speeds!
#sonic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#scribbles#colored sketch. but it gets the point across#did you know? blindness comes in a huge variety. and you can still maintain your autonomy even while significantly impaired.

Scary Sunset.
I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.
#mlp#sunset shimmer#twilight sparkle#twiset#the orbs are the glass balls sunset carries on her back btw its in her cast line up art#deep down sunset hates thea. she was named “twilight” by celestia. the time of day succeeding sunset. she was always her replacement#but at this point in the story sunset's also fallen for thea. so it's also a conflict of wills in sunset. love or hatred.#hence the “don't make me do this” language. she's rationalizing her hatred and violence as thea forcing her hand and getting in her way#when in reality she doesn't need to do any of this. it's her last stand and outburst to cling to a life of revenge that she's grown too#fond of. because she knows thea has the power to change that and disrupt her identity as a pathetic victim who fell from glory#and that's scary. thea's a very scary thing to sunset because suddenly sunset wants something and to be someone new.#she suddenly wants to change. to be better for someone else. and she never thought or believed that could be an option for her#anyways toxic yuri yayyy#my art#the grand galloping 20s#character design#i hope i got across the pained conflicted emotions in sunset's face tho i belabored over them these past 3 days#i hope a look of anger and dissonance and guilt and “oh god i don't really wanna hurt you please just obey me” while trying to intimidate#is readable. if so it's all in the eyebrows babey

price brat tames only once because all it takes is a punishment where he leaves you bare and tied up, ignoring the pebbling of your nipples and the slickness between your legs while he's sprawled out on the couch having a drink and a smoke fully clothed. might even get on a call with the crew, see how they're doing, all while you squirm right where he left you, just as he left you.
when they ask how you're doing, he's hopping on a video chat, if they're that curious they can see it for themselves.
#the utter gut twisting humilitation of having to be naked while he's still got his fucking shoes on is killing me#he won't lay a hand on you he knows you like it anyway#that's not getting his point across#but the boys tutting at your poor trembling form that's begging for a scrap of attention should

i think poseidon surrendering the war for percy explains why percy choose the gods' side in the future. because percy actually saw that his father is willing to give up glory for him, and he knows that glory is a big deal for the greeks. that's why despite understanding that luke's argument makes sense to some extent, he's still on the gods' side. his father's side.
#i actually love their dynamic#i think they made the summer solstice pass bc they wanted to get this point across#i might be wrong idk#pjo tv show#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo series#pjo#pjo tv series#pjo spoilers#pjo tv adaptation#pjo fandom#percy jackson spoilers

Prompt 329
Bruce was admittedly suspicious when Talia requests a meeting, and is admittedly still upset with the entire hiding Damian’s existence from him for literal years. But he also admits that he just… has to take a moment.
“Run that by me again please?” He had to have misheard, right? Or gotten drugged by something maybe.
Talia sighs, sounding just as tired as he felt. “Father’s tea supplier has moved to Gotham after an argument, and he wishes to discuss the agreement of him not entering the city- to speak with said vendor.”
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Bruce: Why this one vendor??? Why not buy the tea from Anyone else????#Talia (tired): They’re the same age and Father can only get his tea from them- the plants are otherwise extinct#Talia: They are also potentially exes- we never were able to get an answer on that#Danny as an adult has a tea shop with Jazz#Danny isn’t ghost king but he has connections to get plants & supplies all across the zone#And Sam enjoys the challenge of some plants#Valerie owns a protection agency that’s been opened for years now#You get liminal enough and aging is slowed if not outright gone#Depends on the contamination levels y’know#No one knows if Jazz or Danny dated Ras at some point#Amity might’ve gotten time displaced a while back & become something of a fae city

Guilt tripping people does nothing but cause vulnerable folks to spiral and make folks who dont live with moral OCD feel negatively toward your cause
#gopher rambles#what the fuck do I tag this as#feel free to reblog but you dont have to#edit: pls not that im not saying 'only folks with moral ocd are negatively affected' or 'if these make you spiral you have moral ocd'#i mostly pointed that out because folks on this hellsite seem to only give a damn about things folks feel if theres a 'valid reason' to#which is shitty and stupid. but sometimes you gotta work with the shitty stupid shit to get your point across

It’s everybody’s favorite lantern! Ingo's partner pokemon's very chaos incorporated. Inspired by the very enthusiastic asks in my inbox, which I’ll be responding to under this cut ;0 Wanna see more? Check out this submas masterlist.
@euos-the-cat AAA thank you! I took one look at that waxy gremlin and thought "huh. I can do something with this."
@eventhetiniestbugs Yo. YO. HEADCANNON ACCEPTED. Litwick really is sort of a beatrice, isn't she? Being Ingo (and in part, Emmet's) unwilling guide. Reluctant friend. Best found family.
@answrs Thanks!!! I love sneasler and I need to draw her more. It wasn't on purpose, but it seems I've accidentally wrote myself into a Sort Of chronological posting (oops!) But sneasler WILL appear later (hopefully BEFORE my hyperfixation fizzles out haha)
@raynavan AhHEhEHEHEH. I usually don't dabble with too much angst, but yeah. On the plus side, uh, more chandelure emmet interactions! On the down side, well.
@blueisquitetired You learn to like rice. It's a staple in your diet, and while you may think its bland and boring, it becomes something you can always rely on during meal time when things get dicey. Or, well. It was.
@moothebloo ...DEFINITELY SAVING THAT FOR LATER. CHANDELURE ANGRY SHARPIE BROWS LETS GOO. (Idk if you're into rottmnt, but uh that's some donnie behaviors that I definitely approve of.)
@gender-nuteral-nut-boy First of all, amazing user name. you get all the gender. second of all (points at picture) she's doing finnee! She's doing So Great. Don't Worry About It. ((She has emmet, and later the gear station, and even later maybe even elesa. But Ingo's Hers, and that's a wound that can't be easily staunched.)) @ghostlykryptonitenight Ah,, you see, your first mistake is thinking she'll Remember. : )
Head cannon: ghost pokemon are not a direct reincarnation of a dead soul, and are more like… say, the mold that grows from a coffee mug left out for too long. But they have fragments of memories and dreams of cherished ones. Chandelure knows Ingo’s alive thanks to their bond. She vaguely knows her propagator probably knew Ingo’s identical great uncle or something. But those pieces don’t really connect until Emmet’s research, and she’s tired and faded and the simple act of trying hurts.
(She would leap through space and time for ingo. Chandelure and Emmet would do anything to get their muppet back, even if it means to salt the earth and unearth gods.)
#art#pokemon#myart#sketchbook#chandelure#lampent#litwick#angry night light#ask#mailbox#haha gottem#ghost pokemon are weird#look im a fan of the carrot but sometimes to REALLY get your point across you got to get out a stick#anyways giving the sentient light fixture emotions is my best bit yet#submas

i love when you hear a rumor about yourself that is just so unbelievably untrue but also as equally absurd that you cant even defend yourself. like what do you mean i stole your third cousins wedding cake because i got hungry??? why are you telling people i micro dose on cheese puffs to prepare for the apocalypse??

#fanart#cult of the lamb#cotl#cotl narinder#cotl aym#cotl baal#comics#the lamb tries to engage narinder's silly mode One (1) Time#they regret it the instant his giant paw comes bearing down on them like fukken kitty armageddon#get martyr'd idiot#anyway my buddy told me the dialogue could come across as flirty somehow??? which my aroace ass doesn't get At All#but just in case i wanna say right here and now:#if you tag this as shipping between aym and baal you are getting a block from me So Fast#ship what you want - i am totes cool with that - but keep it away from my art k thnx :)#aside from bishop orphans it's basically gonna be all narilamb from this point on#i just had to get the rest of this stuff outta my system first XD
