god almighty....uncanny counter fight choreo remains so unfathomably boss
#like they're having more cg fun this season but the bare bones of what made their fight scenes so compelling isn't lost#i'm so glad#i was a little worried about how much the psychokinesis would pull the gorgeous tactility out of it but they're being very clever with it#very much of the opinion that a good solid hit will always be more satisfying to look at than a psychic blast#but they're balancing it well i think#the uncanny counter#counter punch

How long do you think they would last if a pink lizard walked in here? 10 seconds? 20, maybe,
#they're 'splorin#rain world#flickerdoodles#art#group pic#I think I started drawing this like nine months ago and decided to finish it now lol#this is a#cdss#thing - but after chewing on it all this time#i'm not even sure if they CAN climb poles like this#all itties in cdss have core strength/balance issues (among many other things)#the severity is different per person as well#i haven't dug into the extent of that yet#and how much physical therapy helps with it#AKA whether they can get to the point of very slowly climbing poles like this#they also don't have any special abilities like... magnet hands or whatever#ehhh either this will get retconned or I'll figure something out

Would you say Sans and Papyrus are closer than Sans and Wingdings?
Ehhh I wouldn't know what to say honestly
The dynamics are different
I guess Sans and Wingdings were closer, but Papyrus and Sans have a better sibling relationship (Though they keep a lot of things secret from each other and that's not great...but they might work that out eventually, they're just trying to protect the other)
Hmm I'm more of a show don't tell person so you're all gonna have to wait and see
Just know that both dynamics have good and bad parts!
#i think the reason why Windings and Sans were closer is because obviously they would be! They grew up together and had the same interests#and pursued the same career and they have always been together#but just because they were closer that doesn't mean their relationship was perfect#they obviously cared about each other a lot but things didn't end super well#as for Sans and Papyrus#I think they're not quite as close but their sibling relationship is better and more balanced#and yes they also care a lot for each other#RAAAH ITS SO CLEAR IN MY HEAD BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT#I hope this is alright#answered ask

i don't know if there's any actual evidence for this (her hair being able to hold his weight doesn't count) but i would like to enter into the record my headcanon that rapunzel, from years of just parkouring and climbing around inside (and maybe sometimes outside, on the walls and roof when gothel's not there?) her tower, rapunzel is strong as fuck and fully able to carry eugene without much problem.
#bluebird.txt#they're both strong af this is my headcanon#part of it is cartoon logic needing people to not think about how much a real non-fictional person could go through#such as eugene if he'd been real 100% dying from falling off a fucking cliff#part of it is vague suspensions of disbelief#but i'd like to believe that they are both strong and squirrely and dexterous#at least initially#cuz i also hc that rapunzel has intermittent balance issues when her hair's short. it comes and goes.#she's still strong but sometimes she can't walk so well#tangled

i might have told this story here before but once my friend was like "what would your OC's pokemon teams be" and i was like "i can't answer this question because they would be very strategic with forming their team and i don't know enough about pokemon to design such a team" and my friend kept being like "what are you talking about? you just pick some pokemon" and that's how i learned some people genuinely just do not think that much about decisions
however i DO have other OCs that would just be like "yeah my team is all purple guys :)"
#mixed bag#sometimes i do make characterization decisions based on Vibes but i think maybe.... less often.... than my friend.........#even when i write 'spontaneous' characters i have to give them reasoning hjsfjfhj#like in parenthood naruto has reasons for all the things he does even if they're very 'A -> B with zero thought for consequences'#or he forgets why he was doing something midway and starts doing something else#also in case you were wondering. tori would WANT a well balanced pokemon team but get distracted by how perfect jigglypuff is as a Creature

Hey, you're being lied to about what fitness constitutes. If you can't work in an hour-long crossfit slog, but you can work in a five-minute walk, then that is still fitness. If you can't use your legs but you can do arm circles every now and again, that is still fitness. If you're moving around at work, that's still fitness. It can be intentional or incidental, but here's the best part: your body doesn't care if you're dedicating specific work-out times. It doesn't care if the "only" fitness it gets is your nine to five on your feet. It doesn't care, fitness is fitness is fitness. Some of us do it differently, but the end result is more or less similar.
If you can do any type of fitness safely, your body isn't going to care if you're doing it like an Olympic athlete or if you're just a casual.
#fitness#gentle reminders#i hate hate hate the idea that fitness must be done Intentionally and in a Hegemonic Way#like... fitness is whatever you make of it and whatever you do#your body isn't going to be like 'well you walked for fove minutes but you didn't do shoulder presses at the gym so it doesn't count 😊'#if you want more specific forms of fitness then SURE you might want to do more specific exercises and activities#but if your goal is overall movement for however much if your body then... you don't Need to be THAT specific#and your goals may be specific for only parts of your body and that's GREAT!#a wheelchair user may for example do more arm exercises so they can use a manual chair for instance...#...and to many people i've noticed they don't think it 'counts' because the chair user isn't using 'all' of their body...#...but it's like... using your arms in non-powered chairs can be really important so like. it's still fitness.#you don't actually have to equally focus on everything if you don't want to or can't#all this to say that fitness is Not hegemonic and you don't need to feel shame about what you do or don't do#even a tiny tiny TINY amount is significant and matters <3#this is definitely something i've gotten more passionate about since becoming a ~gym bro~#because you see just how different people are and what they want out of fitness#and it's taught me a lot more about my own disabilities and how i work with (and even against) them to find balance#this is what i love about those fitness video games too! because they're often made to be engaging and fun!#i LOVED just dance as a kid and that was fitness merging with video games (and i loved video games (still do!))#and i HIGHLY recommend people get video games like just dance or that one nintendo ring game because of these elements!#it combines the comfort of home with movement with engaging music/story/video game elements#and things like that make me believe in peace and love and care on planet earth <<3

Green uploaded this video on his channel!
youtube
And I'm really happy for 2 reasons:
He acknowledged his bad behavior towards his friends and how he let social media change him for the worse
Influencer Arc is coming to an end so we'll most likely get a third episode soon!
#god and the video itself!!#he took off the glasses that symbolized his online persona that he doesn't want to be anymore#“i don't expect them to forgive me but i want to apologize anyway” STOOP😭 he actually thinks they're not going to forgive him#every YouTuber should have an apology video is true now for Green as well lmao#also i think it's interesting how he says he wants to take a break not to abandone his channel#i hope he'll find the balance and bring his friends in it as well and it will become THEIR channel#avm#ava#animation vs minecraft#influencer arc#Youtube

can i requeeeessstt edgar rescuing scriabin from something |D
Day 6 - There are consequences out here
Bonus, of what he was doing to get stickers in his hair:
#My art#Requestober#Vargas#Scriabin#Edgar#I really wasn't sure what to do with this one at first! Or rather - I immediately had this and another idea but wasn't satisfied either way#I opted for this one because The Feelings and the bonus - additions oddly energizing!#I think it's that at first I was too strongly reminded of the one I made of Edgar cutting Scriabin's hair#Poses too similar! Feelings too similar! Not new or shiny or sparkly or anything!!!#But then the bonus came to mind and cute Scriabin is always nice <3#And then the pose expanded as well! Different! New challenges!#I've been trying to attempt more fullbodies this year :3 I don't make them that often! It's good practice all round!#Anatomy and consistency and more dynamic posing!!!! All good things :D#And also parts that I'm not as used to drawing - their feetsies turned out nice I think! Ah! Feels like a level up love when that happens#And then the Feelings of it all <3#I love Scriabin impulsively enjoying his body So Badly gah#Being extant in private and getting to fully revel in sensation with no filter no interruptions#Consequences now - new fallouts of his own actions - but the immediacy just Feels so much he can't help it#Edgar chides him of course - he's (had to) grown out of such childish impulses! Aren't you an adult!#Really he just worries neither of them would do well with either gone for long stickers least of all haha#And he likes being useful <3 They're so similar haha Scriabin loves to complain and Edgar loves to fret ♥#They balance each other well for what a handful they are#Scriabin especially of course hehe

I think my favorite feeling about BG3, which your comics show, is how hilarious it can be, without demeaning or deterring the emotional attachment. The funny bits don't make the sad parts sting any less, or the catharsis any less gratifying. It makes it such a treasure to play and get immersed in, at least in my opinion.
Yes!! I agree wholeheartedly!
I think one of the most captivating things about this game is that, while the narrative it tells is so big and overwhelming and dark, there are so many charming and funny bits thrown into the game, both in the writing and in all the weird little antics that come with playing a massive video game that can't possibly have all the bugs worked out. But it never feels like it detracts from the experience!
I think it really embodies what playing d&d can be like, and it's wonderful.
#I recently saw a post that I THINK was T. Kingfisher talking about humor in writing#and how (particularly in horror) it's necessary to break the tension so that the most tense moments actually FEEL tense#something to that extent - I'm doing a bad job summarizing lol#but I think BG3 has an excellent balance - and I love that even my silliest comics don't feel entirely out of place with the story#Larian and everyone involved put so much work into this game and I'm glad they're getting recognition for their efforts - it's well-deserve#thank you for sending this - you put into words something I'd been mulling over for a long time!#asks

thinking about how if all my tv crushes teamed up they would be so powerful. these mfs would devise the most formidable insane scheme of all time and execute it with competence and style
#like they're all insane alone but as a unit I think they would balance eachother out incredibly well#i wish i could consult them about things like an autistic high council#gerri kellman#severus snape#saul goodman#abe sapien#murray bauman#abed nadir#aziraphale#silvio dante#sandor clegane

What are some things cable likes about peter?
nathan's type:
red mask ✅ tight suit ✅ kind of stupid ✅ filters sadness through the prism of humour ✅
bonuses peter parker has to offer
cute hair ✅ cute butt ✅ cute everything ✅
#sci speaks#i think cable likes how upstanding peter is. like peter's just a good guy. he's such a good guy.#and i think. being able to read people's thoughts. nate probably doesn't know a lot of people as Good as peter.#like peter's good because he's kind of just... simple. he has simple wants and desires and he's not ever angling for anything.#peter's just so good. and i think nathan is definitely fond on him because of that.#i know i complain about this mindset that peter is pure of heart yadda yadda#I HATE that. i hate the trope where peter's like an angel who is pure of heart. he's not. but.#he's not deceptive or hungry for power or morally righteous or anything. he's just a guy. and that makes him better than most heroes.#i think that's something to admire peter for - that he doesn't let power go to his head and he's flawed but not in a superhuman sort of way#he's flawed in a human sort of way.#he doesn't make cosmic mistakes that effect the balance of the earth (well. he didn't.)#he makes small mistakes that effect his personal life and his relationships but he's trying so hard.#he's so. so small potatoes. and i'm sure nathan just. loves him. peter small potatoes parker.#admires a guy who's living his life like that. without cosmic worries or massive ambition. just a guy who wants to be happy.#i think it's funny how wade equates nate and peter in his head as similar because they're both 'heroes' or whatever#but nathan and peter have such polar opposing philosophies to life. polar opposing that they'd still probably admire and envy eachother for#peter envying nate because he's ambitious and powerful and has a freaking floating ISLAND or whatever#and nathan envying peter for being able to grant himself happiness.

I love the idea of Irwin "animatedly" doing anything. Somehow I never picture the abrasive, ascetic, brawler colonists as very "animated" characters, but maybe he's just trying to make the lesson engaging for the little guy. I bet Irwin is a great teacher.
Also, yeah, we got a dinosaur. His randomly generated name is Swampy. I have not had the courage to attempt drawing him yet. Dinosaurs are awesome but also very tricky to draw.
Irwin and Andy continued to hang out for a little while, playing with axes as every reasonable adult looking after a three-year-old would do.
But, alas, while teaching the child about mathematics and biology and tree-felling, it appears Irwin's abrasive trait has also been noticed. Kids do learn from example, but I guess nobody told Irwin that.
First | Next | Previous
#rimworld#gracie plays#The Animist Alliance#art#my art#traditional art#rimworld art#unpolished art#I can't decide if Andy would consider everyone in the colony as an aunt/uncle or not#Maybe they're all just “Mr” or “Ms” to him#but I do like the idea of Honourary Uncle Irwin#insults from small children just hit harder#They're so brutally honest all the time#Oh handy-dandy tip: don't give axes to three-year-olds#I doubt it will ever end well#Even if said three-year-old is being raised in a colony with a pet dinosaur#I'd still avoid the axe thing#It's tricky to find the right balance between “big round childlike eyes” and “lizardlike slitted pupil eyes”#But I think Andy is a cutie pie either way#Have a good day everyone! Love you! <3

I got hit by a huge wave of nostalgia and fell back into the Undertale rabbithole and I just couldn't resist the urge to make a Handplates skeleton lore accurate oc who I am pretty proud of ngl :] adawd
#funnily enough it all started with me finding a commentary of an undertale analog horror#and then i got the mood to play the game and sorta please my inner child by actually completing a true pacifist route#like I shit you not when I first played as a child i just got stuck on the final boss and that was it#i was seething#anyway after that i remembered that a good friend of mine really likes handplates and that I never finished it so I decided#to start watching it and now i'm obsessed X<X#and looking back it's kinda funny how from like my cringey sans fangirl era i grew so much that i can make a balanced and imo well designed#character. still when i was searching other stuff within the fandom it was still nostalgic and sort of heartwarming and interesting to see#how easy it was to impress me at such a young age. man T_T /pos#tbh Undertale holds such a special place in my heart#thinking back if i didn't have these sorta nerdy fixations and interests I would've probably just crumbled and i'm not joking. I'm glad#these things exist#anyway I should probably make an OC intro of this guy sometime#he's called Dr. T. N. Roman btw :] and they're aroace#also they're in a qpr with Gaster bc I love him and yippee#I kinda imagine these silly skeletons like the gems from steven universe (my friend brought this up originally)#like the idea that they have special customs and they probably copulate and multiply differently/asexually.#tbh this kinda skeleverse is steven universe for mlm people /j#auramoeba's art corner#thus spoke auramoeba#auramoeba's ocs#undertale#undertale oc#fan oc#skeleton oc#w d gaster#nostalgia#doomed yaoi

Yo, friendo What's the best way to consume these funny doomed men I keep seeing?
( Didn't mean it literality, but I can't help but think that the answer is with spice )
depends on which ones!! there are two series I've been posting about a lot, both by the same author: SVSSS and MDZS!
Scum Villain's Self-Saving System/SVSSS is a book series, and you can read it physically (which I did through my local library for the first two books) or online on the Internet Archive or Anna's Archive (which I did for the last two books when I got too impatient to wait on my holds). It also has a ten episode long donghua called Scumbag System that covers most of the first book and it's terrible (affectionate). You can find that one on youtube or most anime pirating sites. In short summary, SVSSS is about a terminally online dude getting isekai'd into the villain of a webnovel he absolutely hates, and in his attempt to avoid the villain's horrible death he sends the story completely off the rails. It's unhinged, hilarious, and everyone in the series is a complete freak <3 It's only four books long (three of which are the main plot and the fourth is extras)
MDZS/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is also a book series by the same author! Similarly, you can check your public library or the Internet Archive and Anna's Archive. It also has a donghua (which I haven't watched) and a wildly successful live action drama called The Untamed (which is how I initially got into the series!). The Untamed is available on Netflix and Youtube and probably other places. It does make some significant changes due to censorship reasons and it is extremely cheesy, but I enjoy it. If you want more classical tragedy, I'd say start with The Untamed, and if you want more gay necromancy shenanigans, I'd say start with the books! In short summary, it's about the life and death and second life of Wei Wuxian as he goes from war hero to widely reviled necromancer, and it's quite fun. The book series is five books long, and The Untamed is 50 episodes long. I have a character guide for that one if you need it because the names do get confusing!
#asks#anonymous#also i love your note about consuming them literally sldkjfkdlsjf#with spice tracks#or perhaps in some kind of hearty soup#i shouldn't be answering this on the lab computer but i was feeling anxious and this ask made me smile#but yeah please check out these funny doomed men !!#both series are very fun#i think svsss is my current favorite bc it is just SO unhinged#no one is doing it like the freaks in that series#but the characters of mdzs still frequently make me experience agonies#i am never immune to tragic siblings and OH BABY THE SIBLINGS IN THAT ONE#both series have a healthy mix of comedy and tragedy#i would say the balance it tipped more towards tragedy for mdzs and more towards comedy for svsss#but they contain both#though when i say mdzs involves tragedy i should specify it does have a happy ending!#just uh. a pretty unhappy middle. you'll see#both series are also explicitly gay#well they had to censor the untamed but the yearning is still extremely obvious#but yeah they're both BL series#this is getting long. if you check either of them out please update me!!!

ethubs to me is like. tfw you kill and die for someone so many times that you can't even grow tired of it. it's mundane, sure, but in the way that loving someone is mundane. blood becomes like waking up to them every morning- an expected but beautiful nonetheless way of things being. it doesnt matter if they're killing each other or their enemies or pretending to do one and actually doing the other to them it is an act of devotion. and not the dramatic kind. tfw you die and kill for someone so often that instead of loosing meaning it gains sentiment. this is not a tragedy anymore!!! they are ripping it apart with their hands and laughing!!! is there anymore power to an actor than that? than turning the story to a comedy? they're sooo sitcom core. of course they love violence- there's no reason to be afraid of dying when it's not the end. they'll have another go at it, and another and another and another and another. the grief is real, sure, as real as the bloodlust- it's just not the thing that lasts
#idk if im saying this well. got them on the brain tonight but like.#eugh. words.#i just think that. ok the central problem to the life games is that the death ISNT permanent.#the stakes feel real#especially in the moment#but if you take a step back. there's been four games. can you really say jimmy's died first everytime if he's done it four times?#the thing about death is that you can only really do it once. anything else is just a mockery of it#you have to balance the feeling of jumping off a cliff after murdering your partner#with the fact that they met again in last life. they remembered that. how do you reconcile that?#to me. personally. the life series works best when you treat it as the game it is#a choice. yaknow? they're choosing to play this with the knowledge that it will feel real.#and yeah its more fun to write fic where the deaths matter i guess#but i sort of feel like that's missing the point#ethubs. are they even ethubs if they dont have that history?#i dont really think so#ykanow? i dont think that its really the same without the 'dying;#not that they did. i mean. the blood was there. but then they kept being. oh im out of tags ok bye

I'm starting Mission to Zyxx Season 5 now, and I have feelings about that.
First, it generally scares me when people hype anything up at all because there is no guarantee that anyone values the exact same thing I do to the same degree. Even if I trust the creators of a thing to value something and try to do right by it, that doesn't always necessarily mean it will be successful, especially if that involves doing something wildly different than what made it good in the first place (I have been burned this way before). I guess I'm just hoping they continue the format of goofy improv shenanigans for the majority of it with something more planned and emotional in the finale if they want, like they've been doing all along. I'd think they would, and I've heard nothing bad about the ending, but I guess it still makes me nervous because I'm so close to the end and I want it so badly to stick the landing. I'm setting my expectations on the floor so I can be surprised instead of disappointed, but honestly, I don't need it to be better, I just need it to be on par with the rest.
Second, and more briefly, I'm happy it's (hopefully) ending before it has a chance to decline. I am so on board with that philosophy. But on the other hand, finishing a thing that I really, really like and knowing there's not another one out there gives me a special kind of heartache. Like, I know there will be other good media, and stuff that's good and unique in other ways, but I know for a fact that there are no other podcasts out there that have the same mix of a balance of off-the-wall improv and structured narrative, quality comedy, fantastical sci-fi setting and loveable characters, and high quality production. There are other things out there with many of those qualities, but nothing that checks every one of those boxes. It's a lightning-in-a-bottle thing that very much feels like the right people had to be in the right place at the right time to do it. Attempts to do it again would feel hollow because it had to be born out of necessity and passion and the talents of the people involved, so if you switch out the people it loses the reasons it's great, and if the same people tried to do it again it'd feel tired. That makes me so, so grateful it exists, but also so, so sad that it doesn't, and I'm 80% of the way done. When it's over, it's over.
Anyway. Now that that's all out there, I'm just gonna finish listening and have fun. Wish me luck.
#pickle pontificates#mission to zyxx#if you freaking flip on episode 1 after reading this and are like. wow. they're talking a lot about butts and ejecting people into space.#what is pickle on about#well. sue me i guess. idk#I have a lot of feelings about this as a general topic so this is moreso just the most recent thing that's touched on it for me#okay so time for essay 2 in the tags#1. I don't really talk about TAZ on here but it's something I carry with me whenever I think about this kind of thing#I think that in the same vein as MTZ it started off very goofy and directionless and then gave me more emotions than I thought it would#and it's not perfect but balance was a cultural landmark in a lot of ways#i enjoyed amnesty but it didn't have the same spark. what drew me to balance was all the goofy improvisation#and the fact that it was never serious until it was#amnesty (although i loved the setting/concept and enjoyed the characters) crossed the line into taking things more seriously#and while that's not a bad thing in and of itself the thing i enjoy about the mcelroys is when they're goofing around#that's what they're good at and it's why i like them#subsequent arcs suffered the same thing to varying degrees#i slogged through most of graduation for some reason and although ethersea was better i didn't finish it#taz dracula was the first time i've felt that same kind of fun while listening since balance#and I really think it was because they were just getting silly with it. sure yeah elizabeth the sports druid. lady godwin turns into a hors#whatever!#their dad gets to follow through on his ideas and do whatever crazy but kinda logical thing he comes up with#but i guess the point is that to me taz feels very lightning in a bottle. balance is what it's capable of being but is not the default#all the other right ingredients had to be in the soup#2. noragami. ohh noragami.#you wormed your way deep into my heart and then flopped out of it like a messy slimy dead fish#and i can't even be upset about it because the creators sounded so tired and unhappy with the way it ended#but there was so much potential. so many themes that DID hit hard throughout the story and could've knocked a man out cold#had they come back at the end#and they could have right up until so very close!!! it wasn't unsalvageable#in fact it still isn't. you'd hardly have to revise anything. you'd just have to write a different ending
