Upon finishing American Gods, I have never felt so inspired, so amazed, and so incredibly sure that what I want most of all is to be an author. What Neil Gaiman has done there. I just can't even... It's exactly what it says on the tin, a story about America, what it was, what it is, and how it really has never changed, and how somehow, despite that, it has changed entirely. Having lived in America all my life, and having traveled to many of the states myself, by plane, train, and automobile, it was something I could never put my finger on, but Neil nailed with a dart from across the dingy dive bar. America is vast, and it's not a good place for Gods. Not because of a lack of belief in them, or because the land is hostile, though that surely plays a part. America is not a good place for Gods because, when you're faced with the vast possibilities of what could be, and the horrors of what is, you can't help but be both terrified, and wonderstruck. It is unsurprising to me that this book won horror, fantasy, and science fiction awards. Because it is indefinable, and so is the America it portrays.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Twilight Town
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#twilight town#scenery#my gif#liked how the tram blocked the sunlight as it passed by#i waited like ten minutes to get this shot#because every time i got impatient and turned my camera to see if the tram was on its way (it appears every 5 mins or so)#i'd miss my chance because of course it only shows when i'm not ready. then i'd have to adjust my camera again and wait for the next one

TW: FLASHING LIGHTS!!
Yaaaaay i can finally post this! Happy (almost) Halloweeeeeeeeen
#tw flashing lights#tw blood#tw death#creepypasta#pokemon#pokemon creepypasta#missingno#lavender town#lumiose ghost girl#lost silver#animation meme#my art#pokepasta#halloween#horror art#artists on tumblr#im not really a creepypasta fan in general?? i only care about the pokemon themed ones. idk why#i look back at pokepastas with the same endearment as like. halloween specials. or 1930s universal monster movies??#of course its partly the nostalgia of growing up reading them and genuinely being scared-#but also i still enjoy them for how charmingly wacky and over the top they'd get sometimes. hyper-realistic blood eyes my beloveds

had a dream i was in a grimdark magical girl yuri setting, so when i woke up i made it real (and bug themed)
bonus details under the cut:
So basically, a small town was secretly holding onto a box containing an evil god, that the local group of magical girls accidentally stumbled on and opened. The thing inside it wasted no time in starting to destroy the world, and for an unknown reason, one of the magical girls even joined forces with it. The rest of the girls managed to beat them, saving the world, but ended up dying from the curse it left on them soon after.
After dying, butterflies girl looped back in time before the box got opened, and decided to keep the box for herself, to make sure its evil influence (box thing yapping at you to let her out) wouldn't get to her beloved friends. Box thing constantly draws in her allies to the town to break her out & tries to convince butterflies girl to please let her out.
Also here's a really rough relationship chart for your interest:
#oc#original character#my art#artists on tumblr#my artwork#drawing#digital art#doodle#scetch#scetched only bc im tiwed and cant be bothered to do refined stuff#theres stuff that i should go back & fix buttt its time to sleep i dont wanna#basically for extra details the small town is also rly shitass (mightve had something to do with beetles girl joining hands with the thing#to burn it down lol)#butterflies girl had a really tragic backstory so she would do Anything to protect the first nice thing she has (her magical girl friends)#box god wants to burn the whole world down in order to create something more to her liking from its ashes#also yeag it might not be the clearest but shes the one furthest to the left on the drawing. the crow one#centipede & katydid girls i will Think About#but theyre probly yuri together in secret from their dogshit town#maybe ill draw them again maybe i wont#also the girls are all young adults & have been working on this line here for a while even before the box reveal

looking over the shots of the murder hut/the early mystery shack and noticing details like the unibear being in gift shop from the start and stan rolling out the bill carpet and later putting bill in the mystery shack sign himself
the wires/machinery/door not being changed yet but it seems like the vending machine was there since early on
#also 30 years later and the price only increased by 5 bucks#bless the no cops sign#mullet stan is going through it#gravity falls#stanley pines#stan pines#mystery shack#stan eventually having to put up the employees only sign cos these yahoos keep walking into his living room#while normally i'd be acting like a feral dog over bill being in the mystery shack sign#i also know that bill wasn't decided on as the main villain until super late#oh meta knowledge spoiling my fun....#the carpet being on purpose tho cos its not in the storage room in the scene before#anyway now im just thinking about ford taking a crowbar to the sign soon after returning#i really wish there was an ep of ford reacting to the shack.... the moments in the journal isnt enough....#altho now im imagining that epilogue ep and tourists just arriving as usual cos time was stopped outside of town#and instead they find the place falling apart one confused old man and another one about to have a breakdown

so im listening to the potd audio commentary and jodie's talking about covid restrictions and filming flux and how the restrictions were more intense at the start of filming (was that end of 2020/start of 2021?) and she says "by the time we finished, we could hug" and damn they took that opportunity didnt they
#itS OnLY BeEn A dAy FoR tHe DOcToR wHY dOeS ShE hUg YaZ LikE ThAt#well maybe sometimes you havent been able to hug your friends for six months because of a pandemic have you thought about that dfhkgjhkjgh#i make myself guilty of this too tho i forget about covid all the time#or not forget im the only one in my town still wearing a fucking mask but like#i find it hard to factor in here#bc i dont know when they filmed + theres no covid in dwniverse#or you know. this part of it#but like you dont SEE anyone wearing masks and idk#in like quarantaine times you'd get these visceral reactions to crowd shots on tv right?#but personally ive lost that#i dont go into public places without a mask but everybody else does so like the visual of crowds has become nrmal again#dont think theres crowds in doctor who but like#it doesnt Register so viscerally if people are stnading close to each other#at least to me

Zonai Link au ref sheets!!!!
Basically when Link was placed in the Shrine of Resurrection the shrine's settings were set to Zonai! The Sheikah had built over the original shrine, improving upon the ancient technology left behind. Unfortunately when most of the technology was buried so was the knowledge of the shrines true capabilities.
So basically the Shrine is given an injured Hylian, but since it's settings are set to Zonai the Shrine freaks out like "Oh my goddess this zonai is absolutely fucked up 💀" and spends the next 100 years 'fixing' Link.
#art#help how do i anatomy#holly rambles#zonai shrine link au#thats whay im calling jt!!#zonai link#link totk#link botw#botw au#totk au#idk whether to tag this as totk or botw exclusively so eh. both#also the rest of hyrule is confused as shit. Link is also allowed in gerudo town because.. wtf is this?? ig they can come in??#also no one truly clocks Zonai link as the same link that died during the calamity#the only ones who sort of have an idea of who Link is are the royal zora family. and its never confirmed until totk#ONLY TO THE ZORA ROYAL FAMILY THO.#and the sheikah obvs!! even if they didnt realize the extent of the uh. shrines abilities they did know Link was to return#totk art#breath of the wild#tears of the kingdom#zonai#totk zonai#botw totk#anyway feel free to send asks about them and this au im spinning it in mt brain forever

saw some western aus and wanted to throw my proverbial hat in the ring. well. toss it gently. place it down on the edge-
actually no fuck that, slamming down the hat i have Thoughts:
first off, if anything this au should be the silliest looney toons bullshit.
~ of all the revolvers are unloaded. so gunfights are just people saying "bang" at each other and then throwing the nearest thing at their opponent in place of a bullet
~ Wally is the town sheriff, and he's hilariously incompetent. he also has a habit of shoplifting apples from Howdy's saloon / general store fusion. his cowboy hat has a card with an apple on it tucked in the band, but he doesn't wear it, so at nearly all times one of his hands is occupied with holding the hat. also he doesn't wear his badge ever
~ Barnaby is the town deputy, and he's marginally more competent than Wally. however, he doesn't take his job seriously and is usually napping in his chair on the sheriff office porch. sometimes he wears Wally's badge along with his own for funsies
~ also when Howdy catches Wally stealing, he'll call Barnaby over. Barnaby will proceed to arrest and lock up Wally in his own jail until Barnaby feels too bad for leaving him in there and lets him out
~ there is only one horse in town, and its Eddie's so that he can do his delivery runs and get mail from the town over - he has a lil wagon too. Sally has a running gag where she tries to steal the horse, but it completely ignores her and won't budge an inch.
~ on that note, Wally has one of those stick horses. when he needs to chase someone down, he hops on it and Barnaby lifts him by the scruff and runs, gently shaking him up and down to simulate natural horse riding movements. somehow it always works. no one can escape this tactical move
~ the only role i can see for Sally is overly-theatrical outlaw, just as incompetent as Wally. she never succeeds in stealing anything but also never gets caught because, again, Wally is terrible at his job. everyone usually comes outside to watch their wacky "fights" and do nothing about it, including Barnaby. also Julie helps her sometimes
~ Julie i think would be the town banker. she's unusually strict about it and can get kind of scary about technicalities. however the town doesn't really use currency, so they have a point system that they keep careful track of. it would be stickers, but those dont exist. actually fuck that these are puppets, stickers exist and the board is like the gold stars in that one spongebob episode
~ Frank is an entomologist that decided to brave the untamed west to see what new bugs he might discover. what he discovered was dust, scorpions, and an inability to leave the town due to no monies anywhere. he finds entertainment in keeping track of the local ant colonies' wars & affairs, and also complaining at Howdy at the bar
~ everyone complains to Howdy. he has someone at his bar at any given time and he's taken to being incredibly passive aggressive about it. they still have to pay with jokes or favors or whatever they can think of that he'll accept
~ Poppy runs the hotel, where pretty much everyone lives. Julie lives there, Frank lives there, Sally lives there, Wally lives there. Barnaby prefers to sleep in the sheriffs office, as he doesn't want to make the "across the street" commute. Howdy also stays in his saloon/store, and Eddie sleeps in his post office - as canon intended.
~ Home is the mayor. don't ask me if he's a person, an object head, or just a building - i do not know. he's probably still a building. no one can understand what he says
~ oh also Frank is incredibly pressed over the fact that the town's lawfolk suck at their job. he swears he has an aneurysm every time Wally chases Sally down the street on a stick horse, or when blatant crime is happening right in front of a very asleep Barnaby. he is tempted to take over as sheriff, but alas, there are scorpions to be stung by
~ and finally: apple chaps. thats all thanks good day
#the thought of wally sprinting along w/ his little spurs clinking is everything to me rn#they clink with every step#its like a bell on a cat#welcome home#welcome home puppet show#welcome home fanart#sally - in jail: hey what are ya in for#wally - also in jail: stealing apples :(#also the thought of these two being technically enemies but they live on the same floor and they often spend jail time together#will never not be entertaining#yknow their town would be soooo easily robbable#but they live in the middle of nowhere and no one knows they exist#frank only got stuck there because he was at a town and met a pretty mailman#who told him to shimmy on over to the neighborhood bc theres plenty of critters 'round there#frank continues to hold a grudge for months. he cannot leave. there are not many bugs. the mailman continues to be pretty

Tama. You fed me your precious rice. I'll never forget it!
#one piece#wano arc#monkey d luffy#roronoa zoro#parallels#one piece otama#ebisu town#shimotsuki yasuie#never gonna be over this beautiful arc#like the one who loves food was fed someone's precious only available twice a year birthday/holiday rice and#the one who loves drink was given a cup of scarce precious clear non-contaminated water#they savor it they understand its value they understand what it means for the starving and the thirsty to give it to them so freely#and then they go to fight for them. and they see their oppressors carelessly waste food and drink and they are outraged outraged outraged#and dammit when they left they left wano kuni a place where everyone can eat and drink as much as they want#i think this is my favorite arc#zolu#one piece episode 894#one piece episode 923#one piece episode 1084

i remember when people were saying nothings up with the wheelers and theyre a normal family and wont be a focus in s5 just for them to be filming so much shit w them, especially cara lmfao
#like.. he chose nancy#she was given visions of their deaths#the wheeler siblings both lost loved ones to vecna#they are the normal family where being normal is fucking villainized#holly was the only wheeler besides nancy and mike to witness the supernatural#you think they just threw in the plotline of the mother cheating on her husband for the fuck of it??#with a character that was possessed ill add??#hello??#are we not thinking#i do not think we are#have you considered maybe they threw that in to show us that this family is far apart enough for the mother to want to **cheat**??#and that maybe its important to take note of for later storylines??#you think they just decided to give mike 'small town boy' for no reason??#you think nancy and mike's arcs parallel so closely yet never interact isn't questionable??#you know what i don't think yall think at all lol

MY BEAUTIFUL RIPTIDE OCS... their names are catalina and milo avery <3 catalina's a water genasi, and milo's a tiefling :] !!
#my post#my art#YAAAY#points at milo. estrogen could save her#anyways these are my sillies that i cant stop thinking about#theyre siblings (milos adopted nobody tell him /j) and they grew up in a small fishing town#until they decided to run away and become pirates together as teenagers!!#they did that for a while until catalina left to find a new crew by herself. nothing against milo she just wanted to do some hashtag self#discovery. that was all fine and cool they kept in touch and stuff#until one day cat reads a newspaper and finds out that??? apparently milo mutinied and is now the captain of that old crew?? AND HES JUST#COMMITTING ACTS OF TERRORISM????#ok see cats in this whole pirate thing to travel the world and adventure and make friends. milo wants to do something worth remembering and#that something does not necessarily have to be something good#the only long-lasting member of milos crew is a Guy who i havent named yet. theyve got a weird toxic yaoi thing going on dw about it#also milo is like. val velocity. he got pissed off hearing about how those incompetent fucking riptide pirates have been rising into infamy#and all have ever-growing bounties meanwhile his crew has done Nothing Interesting. so he started atrocities<3#its fine. its all cool. however it may take slightly more than just estrogen to save her

i cant believe i wasn't following u b4,,,,,ive just been silently scrolling through your blog for like a solid YEAR and just haven't even noticed????? n e ways what are tha thoughts on literally anyone in p4 being trans bc i live for that 🎤
the way my brain decided that this was asking for pronoun headcanons and did not reread to make sure that was what you were asking before drawing all of this…... well anyways
#asks & requests#p4#trans naoto#<- trans everyone lmaooooo#sort of waffling on chie-- he could also be trans or enby easily#ive always thought he would be a 'my gender is lesbian' type person tho LMAO#if hes trans then she and yukiko are as close as they are because trans friends lmao if chie is afab then i think that would come up#accepting his shadow- part of him not feeling 'feminine' enough is that yukiko is more of a woman than her in societys eyes and well.#its not a violent outing bc no one who heard her shadow is like that but chie apologises to yukiko for that#yukiko transitioned pretty early so no one in town (school age at least) really knows#rise is afab its just that she Despises the idea of being a man#kanji is cis but hes cis+ after exploring; does do the occasional drag but is a gay man who happens to use she/her#yosukes whole vibe is 'probably nonbinary but i have a job so i cant worry about that rn'. also i think maybe bigenderism in his future#he/him only for the foreseeable future tho. baby steps#narukami is defo stealth mode for at least the beginning of the game but probably around teddie or naotos shadow she comes out#and i like kuma so ze is like me and uses it/its. :).#ok those are all my notes. sorry for not directly responding to what you asked but i do think what i said is a good answer to your wuestion.#for claritys sake i also live for it.
