my great aunt's funeral was today
we spent it with my grandmother (it was her older sister) and I think we helped her have an okay time of it and feel cared for and I gave her a casserole which may not be 100% useful to her but that’s not the point, the point is that I told her I cared about her with the cultural language we share and she appreciated it
but also I am not prepared to grapple with human mortality or the thought of doing the things my cousins etc did for their gramma today for my own gramma in a couple of years, this is terrifying, we all know it’s coming sooner than later and I am NOT a fan
anyways my sister needed a hat repair and my gramma gave me one of HER grandmother’s crochet hooks so I could do it and yeah im fine this is fine everything is fine
#gramma can't travel anymore so we zoomed in with mixed results#but so much better than nothing#lori chat#lived with her for 3 years and learned so much crafting from her and value her support and approval and excuse me the human condition whomst

The older I get the more I realise there is just nothing to Jean and Logan as a couple, he's just the cool bad boy alternative to her straight laced boyfriend, and no writer has ever bothered to develop them beyond that. Logan really has more of a dynamic with Scott than he ever had with Jean. When written well, Scott and Jean feel like genuine partners with neither character overshadowing the other, but when she's paired with Logan, Jean seems to just become the love interest or worse a prize for Logan to win for being a good person, the relationship always reduces her.
#x-men#logan#wolverine#jean grey#scott summers#cyclops#marvel#when you look back at the movies they do nothing to establish any kind of connection between jean and logan#it's just instantly goes to “hey i'm hot and so much cooler than cyclops”#the comics aren't any better#claremont just kind dropped it in out of the blue#but didn't do much with it before jean died#and then retroactively tried to make it seem like they had some deep connection#but still barely did anything with it#since the two were always on different teams#and felt like it was put to bed when she married scott#marvel no doubt not wanting her to be a cheater#but then morrison got the x-men#scott became the cheater#and the jean/logan started to be a thing again#but still never took off in a substantial way#then jean died again#was gone for over a decade#and even in the krakoa era when they were shown to be poly#barely any depth was given to the relationship#and in retrospect it feels like the writers were more interest in jean and scott as a couple and co-leaders of the x-men#and logan was just added as a poly partner to put that love triangle to rest#now it seems to be back to just jean and scott#and she's off being an intergalactic hero with a stay at home husband#never once thinking about logan

BILLDUMP TIME (with transparency, because I can). Don't mind me, I'm just yeeting my goofy art at some way more talented individuals out of nowhere and then hauling ass back to the security of being a weird silent lurker ahaha
@tesscourtes and @beccadrawsstuff, respectively! These two Bills make a little prism of sorts together because of their recent crossovers on Patreon~ :3c Speaking of which, I highly recommend supporting both these artists! They do fantastic work! (TessCourtes and Beccup)
@qoolk on the left, and @monobmp on the right! I am such a sucker for these outfits~ OuO Go and check these two out, their art is phenomenal!!! >u<
@1spooky2me The most difficult Bill of the lot for me to draw, ahaha... Their art is so incredibly consistent and dynamic, I am, a little envious <:,) A little envious, but mostly impressed, so go look at their amazing art, what are you waiting for
And finally, @ckret2, whose writing is sublimely in-character and just a delight to read - they're a great artist, as well! I simply Could Not resist drawing their Bill in this ridiculous incredible and very fashionable pink feather dress, even though he only briefly wears it in their fic, so I also did a little bonus doodle of him in his standard hoodie to make up for it. XD (Also, as far as I'm concerned, Bill and Mabel were both correct in that lime green accessories make the dress Much Better.)
This is just a small selection of the human Bill designs I enjoy. I may draw and post more later on, who knows! Feel free to reblog with some neat Bill designs, either your own or by other folks - if any of the designs particularly call to me, I'll add them to the little list I've got going~ :D (Alternatively, if you really like my stuff and want me to draw something specific, you could...mmm...perhaps, commission me...? OuO)
Also I'm tagging Billford because uhhhh yeah, sorry not sorry, every single one of these Bills is getting shipped with Ford by the artists in some way or another, lmao
#fanart#gravity falls#bill cipher#human bill cipher#human bill design#billford#bill is just so Gender#regardless of whether or not he's a triangle. just. such Gender. wow#honestly tempted to draw the OG twink!bill and the mangopablo save-the-town!bill just for funzies#i may also attempt to draw alex hirsch's “canon” human!bill but uhhhh who knows LOL#i kinda feel like he made the design extra ugly just to poke fun at the fandom#so the “canon” aspect of it is kinda up in the air for me personally LMAO#not sure if i drew goldilocks!bill thicc enough tbh#just. look. it's hard to draw a person who is as close to triangular as a human can possibly get. ok??? ok#I TRIED AND THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT OnO#in other news why did these turn out so much better than the drawings of my own design??? wtf that's so rude#get it together ME this is fukken embarrassing#btw if i draw something for you and you respond to thank me only to have me say nothing back it's because i am very awkward and anxious lol#there is also the adhd which makes me forget that i failed to respond like a normal person would have ahahahaha o-o#but mostly it's the horrors of being perceived for more than the two seconds it takes to yeet an art at a person O-O#why am i like this? good question! maybe i'll have an answer someday when i can actually afford therapy XD#I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASLEEP FIVE HOURS AGO

Someone with a better mind for character design than me should redesign Vauthry because of how the fatphobic design makes idiots unable to read the nuance surrounding him and ALSO because I do feel like there's a good design in there.
The way he's stylized doesn't do him any favors but I think that the tie between his baby-like appearance and the whole concept of innocence surrounding him could be so good if they didn't do it like that. At the very least, I feel like he should have gotten childlike eyes.
I feel like it would have been interesting if instead of leaning heavily into "grotesque fat manbaby" stereotyped design they maybe made him look like. An actual child, to give off that air of innocence. Sort of like a padjali situation with him, which offers an interesting tie between the "pure" white mages of the Source and him. I also feel that it would offer a more visual parallel between him and Alphinaud. He can even keep the fat, with it even giving him a design aspect of angelic cherubs.
#I am one of like 5 people on earth who actually is interested in what Vauthry has going on#He's very “there's nothing more beautiful and terrifying than innocence” to me#ffxiv#ff14#vauthry#At least they should make him normal person sized (height-wise). Why is he so tall. Also fix whatever makes his textures look so stark#If they just fixed his head to look more like an actual fat person's his design would already be so much better

If My Body Could Speak, Blythe Baird | The Godfather, Mario Puzo | My Father's House, Sylvia Fraser | To The Daughter Who Secretly Longs For Her Mother’s Affection, Lynne Shako | Storms from Jupiter, Wanda Deglane | DO NOT REPLY, @filmnoirsbian
#connie corleone#carmela corleone#the godfather#web weaving#this is...quite negative towards carmela i guess#so i just want to make it clear that i actually really love her as a character and i actually can understand how she became who she was#she was a woman born in the late 19th century raised not just in a patriarchal society but a CATHOLIC patriarchal society#who therefore grew up learning that she was primarly defined by her relationship to her husband and her capacity to be a 'good wife'#so i totally understand why she would take some type of sick pride in knowing that her husband never 'had' to hit her#but like...that entire part of the book was legit hard to read and Carmela was really not that much better than Vito there#so it's kinda hard for me not side eyed the shit out of her when she blame Connie for being a neglectful mom#like geez Carmela I wonder why your daugther might be struggling I'm sure it has nothing to do with anything you did or refused to do...#i'll say that she did end up being concerned for Connie and trying to help so she definitely deserves some points here#unlike Vito's dumbass who was just like 'it really hurts me to know that my daughter is being hit all the time but i can't do anything :('#'I'll tell her it's all her fault and that she deserves to be hit that will surely help somehow'#Vito really spent the entirety of this book being like 'nothing and I mean NOTHING matters more than blood (conditions very much applies)'#domestic violence mention

can we as a society please stop calling Dazai the “demon prodigy” like it’s canon??? IM BEGGING
his canon nickname is so underused too… i mean c’mon, the “black wraith of the Port Mafia??” idk if i’ve ever even seen it used in a fic 😭
#ok sorry just had to get this off my chest bc a piece of me dies every time i hear him called the demon prodigy#this is /lh but PLEASE#ofc if that’s the characterization you’re going for in a fic or something that’s totally different#thats why the demon prodigy Dazai tag on ao3 exists#people hear demon prodigy and think Dazai was a demon. like the demonest demon. when in reality the mafia is referred to as a den of demons#Dazai was not worse than everyone else. he was just propped up to LOOK that way and did nothing to fight the allegations#bc if everyone’s already convinced why try to change their minds???#but if you’re gonna call him something at least use his canon nickname 😭#the wraith nickname fits his reputation so much better anyway. a doorman of death. eerie & almost otherworldly in others’ eyes#rambling about bsd again#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd dazai#dazai osamu#bsd meta#bsd analysis

In the Cards is a fantastic episode just for the 1 - 2 combo of 1) Julian without hesitation declaring his childhood teddy bear would be the one thing that would make him happy right now and agreeing to get Jake and Nog what they want if they get him Kukalaka and 2) the reveal that Leeta fucking stole it and has been sleeping with it
#star trek: ds9#julian bashir#jake sisko#nog#leeta#I was wondering what Julian would say and nothing could've prepared me for Kukalaka#such a fucking mood btw#I still sleep with my childhood teddy his name is Snuggles#this episode reminds me a lot of the MASH episodes where they trade favours to escalating degrees#except so far this is going much better for Jake and Nog than it usually goes on MASH

reuploading some of my old-old yyh art <3
#yu yu hakusho#hiei#kurama#kurahi#my art#i should probably draw some new stuff#kurama is good at hiding his emotions but his plants - not so much#i dont think ive ever drawn better shoes than kurama's red boots#hiei wearing kurama's old human clothes#nothing makes me happier than the idea of kurama dragging hiei along to do human things#and hiei begrudgingly playing along because 1) kurama will kill him and 2) kurama is so hot and hiei is not immune
