#baltoy #now okay let's just get the elephant outta the room. baltoy? what does this mean. is it a toy that happens to be a ball. because that's how #i've parsed it my whole life. and i've always not understood it because this thing is a top and not a ball #it's also what like. ground/psychic?? i think that's cool but it's just. like what's it got going for it. i forget it exists regularly and #don't even know if it has an evolution to make it competitively viable #where's that one person who said they were gonna do competitive facts on every post and then only did it on one. i miss them #whatever folks have things to do. not everyone has the time to dedicate to a silly little tumblr blog like i do. so here i am #telling you nothing about baltoy. go girl give us nothing. i am giving you nothing

'Cause that's what us, we mere mortals, do. We die. And sometimes it's not pretty. It's ugly and it's messy and it's painful.

#warehouse 13 #wh13edit #mine:photoset #pete lattimer #myka bering #don't look at these i have fully forgotten how to color #but BARK BARK BARK HELLO....... I LOVE PETE #he's the sweetest man in the world and he would be right up there with peter bishop if they didn't keep handing him the idiot ball #what is it about fictional dudes named peter #but waaaaaah i love them so much these two are everything to me #more shows should have ride or die besties who know each other so well but who are disgusted by the idea of sleeping together #like ten and donna (even though i know that pete and myka DO get together in the end) (we'll see how i feel about that when i get there)#plus i know they're not gonna kill myka because there's a s5 #even if it is only 6 episodes #i'm so emo about these two. cannot believe i only have 8 episodes left of the entire show #also unrelated but shoutout to when i was presenting something to the entire marketing team a few weeks ago including the CMO #and i referred to christmas as 'the big c'#everyone was very quick to be like 'oh kyle honey no that is NOT what that means' SORRY MA I GOOFED UP

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

#jrwi fanart #cw blood #jrwi show #jrwi suckening #arthur bennett #OUHH THIS ONE WAS SITTING IN MY WIPS FOR SO LOOOONGwhen i took it out there was mould on it :sob:#BUT i think i was able to fix it up okay #i keep seeing SO MANY MISTAKES RRAAAHHH BUT YOU DONT SEE THEM RIGHT?? THATS ONLY ME. RIGHT?? EXACTLY.#THE KEY IS TO SAY. AND REPEAT AFTER ME. 'FUUUCK IT WE BALL #so anyway. arthur bennett huh? grizzly says that arthur is reaal fuckin difficult to play. and i SUPER get that. i mean LOOK AT HIM..#grizz often needs a minute to think abt what hes gonna say in a way that matches w that Stoic Personality. which is FAIR but also that #ends up making way for awkward confrontations like: the lady in the parky lot. he took too long to answer and scared her away.& I LOVE THAT #arthur is tragic and sad and cool and stoic but hes ALSO awkward and silly and kinda dumb and short sighted. HE HAS COMPLEXITIES #I LOVE WHEN TTRPG CHARACTERS HAVE A GOOD SET OF SHORTCOMINGS. ESPECIALLY WHEN U FIND THEM ONLY AS U PLAY THEM.#I COULd go on and on saying the same things w different words abt arthurs intriguing and entertaining character but i shall spare u. for no #ILL ALSO MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE HIS FLAVOR THO.. I LOVE TALL HOT BOY WHOS ONE W THE DARKNESS.. I REMEMBER WHEN HE FIRST MENTIONED THE #BADLUCK. N I WAS LIKE OOOHH THATS WHY HIS DESIGN IS SO COOL N CHAOTIC N ASYMMETRICAL. HES UNLUCKY!!! i love love love his design so much...#GRaaauruguguraguhhghghgh what else what else is there for me to spew on abt...i think im reachin a limit here..OH MAGNUS. i hope that #we get to know more abt how magnus and arthur met.. like How they became besties... ouuhh... I ALSO WANNA KNOW MORE ABT MARY DAVIS. LIKEHOW #he also apparently spent alotta time in a zone dominated by edward twilight? all he remembers is constant partying? I WANNA KNOW MORE..#i think i got room 4 one more ramble SO. THE ART PIECE.as i said its gone a lil stale BUT. im still very proud o the bits where hes allScar #I WANNA SEE HIM GET SCARYMORE. I like the idea of shadows solidifying to make him strange and eerie.like TEETH n CLAWS n SPINES n YESS #also the SILVER EYES.no1 does silver eyes like the show Claymore. they make em look so striking and eerie...i also like to think that #human arthur had deep beautiful brown eyes.just in my beaitufl heart.i mean look at him..i wanna cook him n eat him.ANYWAY #i think thats all my ramblin for this piece. now i gotta go cancel a single day i had ata hotel bc my work schedule change last minute FUCK #feel free to ramble in my tags aswell tho i read all of them and i chew on thenm and i love them so sos os mcuh

hey i just saw a tiktok video with the horrors comic and i couldn't find any credit (also the comments were turned off ://) and i thought maybe you should know (here's the link to it: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGexd54Qx/ )

Ah, thank you anon! I'm not particularly surprised unfortunately, not the first time it's happened with that comic — sadly I don't think there's much I can do about it, especially since I don't have a tiktok myself. But thank you for letting me know! I do like to know whenever that happens, even if I can't do anything to get the videos taken down. At the very least, it's a reminder that I should really start putting some sort of signature on my comics 😅

...Also, in this particular case the video you linked actually made me laugh when I looked at it, because!! Quick storytime: the last time someone messaged me to let me know that a tiktoker had reposted the horrors comic, I went and looked at it and noticed that the reposter had put two of the comic pages in the wrong order. Somehow NO ONE in the comments had mentioned the fact that the order of events didn't flow right, it was hilarious.

Why is this relevant? Well, because this tiktok you've linked me to has the SAME EXACT MISTAKE, which indicates to me that this new person didn't even steal it from me directly, they stole it from the OTHER REPOSTER and also didn't notice the mistake in page order! The reposters are cannibalizing each other! I am both very entertained and utterly baffled by the lack of effort! They're not even stealing things well!

Anyway, all this to say: I have managed to find the humor in this kind of situation, but I still do not appreciate people reposting my stuff, especially without credit. And general PSA that if you see my comics/artwork anywhere that is not here on my tumblr, or on my AO3 account forest_raccoon, that is not posted by me, and it has been done without my permission.

#tldr; don't repost artist's work! it is not kind #...about this particular case though —#comparing the two tiktok pages really convinced me that that reposter 2 is just stealing from reposter 1 #they've even reposted some comics from artists that are missing full pages and thus do not make sense #similar complaint: reposter 1 also stole the 'wrecking ball; comic I did recently #and they DIDN'T USE WRECKING BALL BY MOTHER MOTHER AS THE BACKGROUND SONG #HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP #I mean I know people who repost stuff are probably more likely to be lazy (since they're already just stealing other people's work)#but this is on another level to a degree that I kinda just have to laugh #anyway! I'll figure out a way to incorporate a signature into my comics and other than that I'm not gonna worry about it too much lol #not that a signature will stop reposters of course — reposter 1 has several stolen videos that say 'DO NOT REPOST' right on the screen #but at least then anyone looking for the original artist can find it if they want to!#ask box #senhart rambles

you ever think about how tashi probably lost her scholarship for stanford after her injury. Yeah

#going from a girl who wants to go to college bcause 'i dont want my only life skill to be hitting a ball with a racket'#to 'unfortunately my only life skill is hitting a ball with a racket'#and depending on what wealth class her family was in? patricks line of 'shes gonna turn her whole family into millionares'#like not only was tennis something she genuinely loved and had so much drive and power in- but she likely had life goals outside of that bu #was going to be able to reach those life goals BECAUSE of her status as a tennis player. and then all of it was gone #tashi duncan #challengers 2024 #how likely there was S O much pressure on her to get better. not just from herself but her family her friends and her coaches #i am so curious as to know what her major was. little character details like that make me go crazy

to put a long story short: at the end of ffxiv's base game, literally Directly before the beginning of its first expansion (heavensward), there is a series of quests and story arcs that eventually snowball into an hour-long cutscene in which the entire thing comes to a head in the literal worst way possible. like, "the hero's plans all go horribly wrong and several major characters die onscreen, with others going missing (presumed dead), eventually culminating in the player character being framed for the murder of the leader of a nation-state and being Literally Forced To Flee The Country" wrong.

heavensward leads directly on from this plotline. you arrive at the major location of the expansion in the midst of seeking asylum whilst being a wanted criminal everywhere else in the world right now. it's like. A Whole Thing. the game makes such a big deal out of it all. the fandom does as well. and for good reason!! it's a really good moment!!!!!!

and then roughly 1/3rds of the way into heavensward you find out that literally none of it mattered. nobody important actually died, no changes were actually made to the status quo, and nothing comes of being literally kicked out of the country for (what is implied to be) several in-universe weeks, if not months. None Of It Mattered. None.

TLDR; the bloody banquet is a major, exciting, and very infamous twist that seems like it's going to segway into a MAJOR upheaval of the status quo and some really intriguing ramifications for the story as a whole... and then heavensward does away with literally all of that and practically writes the entire thing off as a waste of time.

you may be able to see why i'm so salty about it.

#also worth noting that the nation-state leader (who's death was The one you were framed for)#was assassinated specifically because she was trying to reform her country's merchantile incredibly corrupt leadership system #into a more bearable democracy that would give voice to the people instead of the greedy scumbags currently in power #one of the members of the syndicate (a group of rich people who at this point have more power than the sultana- her)#tried to kill her bc. well. obviously reformation would mean they wouldnt be in control anymore.#and so her supposed death is the big crux of the bloody banquet #and then. THEN. heavensward goes OUT OF ITS WAY to reveal she is not only ALIVE AND PERFECTLY FINE #(she got drugged with the classic fantasy eternal sleep that looks like death medication)#but that her plan for reformation was ACTIVELY STUPID. she DOESN'T GET TO DO IT. NOTHING ABOUT THE STATE OF UL'DAH CHANGES #THE GAME JUST TELLS YOU BETTER GUYS ARE IN CHARGE NOW AND EXPECTS YOU TO BE FINE WITH THAT?#AS THOUGH THE ORIGINAL PLAN TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM ENTIRELY WAS THE FLAWED PART OF THIS EQUATION?#god. i hate it so much. if you're not gonna change the status quo at least have the balls to kill off a character for christ's sake #i can rant abt it all day. it's just such a travesty on every level #yin-thoughts #ffxiv #also for the record ''bloody banquet'' is a fan term. the whole thing isnt called anything in-universe iirc #it's just a catchy title for an infamous sequence wherein people die at a banquet. you know how it be #it's just. god. something about it is just so utterly vile. the game all but looks nanamo (and to some extent the player) in the eyes #and goes How Dare You Try And Change The System. You're Stupid For Thinking This Could Work.#it feels so disingenuous and mean spirited and now the entire thing just leaves the worst possible taste in my mouth #and it SUCKS. because the bloody banquet scene itself is INCREDIBLE. but the way the game handles it after it happens is just #so bad!! it's so bad!!!! aughhhh it's so so so so so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!#the ffxiv writers are so in love with preserving the norm and so terrified of changing it up and/or killing off established characters #ive ranted abt it before and knowing myself i'll rant about it many a time again. it just sucks man #ffxiv crit

Ok I’m glad I’m not crazy someone else said it first - yeah it feels like you can’t introduce an oppressive class and then actually deal with them so you had to go everywhere else

#and like I always say #stop bringing up issues ur not ready to deal with bc #the reality of it is with the way everyone was reacting to piltover #if u went full throttle on the classism plot u brought up the next arc would’ve been about zaunites being fed up and taking to the streets #of zaun #not just jinxers or whatever like the reason everyone thought jinx was gonna Join ekko is bc this felt like it was supposed to be a catalys #for smth and it wasn’t #have y’all noticed how little pov we got from zaunites in comparison #close ups on ppl in the memorial that we don’t get when it comes to showcasing enforcers brutality #mind you the way the conditions of zaun are like background noise now #which we also never here about bc they dropped the ball with ekko to make him save everyone #more complicated than that but yeah #but yeah it’s bc the next step is showcasing the ppl like Maddie who don’t have guns #that’s like. a good chunk of the ppl watching ur show #also if I say it’s extremely difficult to do classist allegories in this era without racism being present in undertones at least bc the two #are intertwined as we know it so just side stepping around race with no substantial allegory meant nothing was ever gonna be resolved or #discussed fully #you’ve seen me try to give the benefit of the doubt on this but I truly believe so many oppression stories that are based in modern #societies fall flat when they mention everything except race when race is a ROOT of damn near every oppression system today but especially #classism. so it’s like more complicated than talk about ekko being black like that’s not what I’m saying #what I’m saying is when you can’t fully grasp the topics ur exploring ofc the ending on that point is gonna feel lackluster #but Y’know whats funny when I was debating on whether arcane was copaganda I made an offhand ‘a show that wants us to root for cait’ but I #think that might’ve been the easiest point made. like yea a show that wanted me to root for cait and tbh even jinx was never gonna end this #well. especially a show that sidelined black characters until it was time to be the plot devices and saviors alr #Ambessa thank you for being evil and ID say evil is a stretch simply bc fuck Caitlyn

hm. might fuck around and draw some other peoples ocs just for funsies when I have time its a nice change of pace from what I usually do

#im not gonna do requests since I dont want to promise too much to anyone #but if people are interested in me drawing their ocs I guess like this post? and then I'll go through and find some to draw when I have tim #mutuals I might just draw ur ocs regardless I hope thats okay #ive been wanting to do that for a bit but I always get worried it'll be like...weird or something? IDK but im fuck it we balling #I keep getting really caught up in really big complicated ideas and like #its nice to just draw something a little different than that #I do have some bigger projects on the backburner but I think it'll help to just doodle some new guys as warmups or smth #to remember how to work with the basics instead of like. one million factors.#also who knows if ill stick with this when it isn't 11:30pm but I have been looking forward to artfight and im realizing I dont have to wai

i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is

#ive been overthinking 1 light and casual mildly funny response to something but im worried itll come off as disrespectful and dismissive And #make me seem stupid and uncaring all at the same time. and also be seen as insulting. but like idt itd be insulting right like. im not #saying what it is so ig for all you guys know im like I mean if i say All your shit suck ball and i hateit kys. <- thats not the thing i was #going to say #like it doesnt matter now the window for response is closed now but i feel stupid bc i shouldve just said it it was light and casual. im so #bad at keeping convos gojng im convinced im not going to survive. In like a light and casual way like in a He will not make it through the #winter joke way. dw. im not going to do anything bc i had One failed interaction. if i was going to do anythjng itd be bc of the 8000000 #other failed interactions. But im not. anyways. it just makes me feel so useless 😭 like i want to respond i want to talk to ppl so bad but #i feel like i mess things up Irreparably every time i speak OR i take too LONG overthinking my response and then i just cant respond bc its #been too long and then its been 3 years and the only messages ive ever sent r my intro message and 1 message 2 years ago that nobody #responded to at all. or the conversation stopped immediately after. and like i used to be better at this i was lkke. talkative in a couple #muts servers like. i talked 2 ppl daily in those servers and i had fun and like. I was an important part of the group and i felt like it #but i just feel like such an outsider for Everything and its literally my fault bc i cant just like. Talk. The explosion. bc im always like #im gonna try im gonna do it this time im gonna get it back im going to finally be Good connor and im going to fix it all and make a Good #solid friend group and ill find HEALTHY LOVE and i wont selfsabotage and ill move out and have a job and ill balance it well and ill start #all my hobbies and ill have a great routine and be so loveable and on top of it and not stressed and content and happy and roll with the #punches and then theres a single hiccup and im like Well fuckinf whatever im going to be an unemployed hermit forever and im going to die b4 #im 25 anyways so Who cares and also im digging a little hole for myself. and its like. AUGHH ik i just have to persevere and overcome but #even saying that feels so stupid its not fucking hard its Talking to ppl. like. i literally if ive ever said a word to you i had to think #avt it and strategize how to respond right even for like. like. it makes it sound like its not genuine it is #like for example i want to say hey i love your art! but then i freak out and im like thats not normal thats like a rly generic comment they #hear that all the time theyll thjnk im being polite and my brains like hrmmm rewrite Your art changed my life. It shaped me. Ill never be #the same. Nad im like ok too far overcorrected go back and the sentence generator is like Your art has colors 💯 like. GOD. WHY IS IT SO #difficult. and then usually i either just dont say anythinf and feel awful abt it 4ever OR i send it on anon and then i spend like 15 #minutes ibsessively slightly tweaking the apelling and capitalization and punctuation to make sure it doesnt seem like its me just in case #it Is the worst possible thing to say but then i see the response and itll be like AWWW TYSM :] THIS MEANS A LOT or whathaveyou and i feel #stupid bc i couldve just Told them this to their face and it wouldve been a good positive interaction we had. but instead i had 2 hide and #tyoe entirely differently so they couldnt sniff me from my typing style. and it soesnt even feel like the thanks is actually 4 me bc i #tweaked the message sm. and it still makes me happy that the oersons hapoy but its like. that couldve been a nice mutual interaction #like not that i need a personal ty i compliment ppl when i Want to compliment ppl and when its genuine yk. i dont do it so i get mutualpoint

Yet ANOTHER intro post

Yeah here we go again um. HI I’m Marble, you can also call me Fan. I’m 19 years old. This is my main/selfship blog.

I’ve had this blog for two years, but my parents grounded me from the internet for like a year over a commonly misunderstood coping mechanism that they THOUGHT was some weird degenerate kink. I simply refer to that whole ordeal as “THE INCIDENT”.

When I initially came back I forgot how selfshipping works so I did a partial “rebrand” but now im back. So please bear with me.

Do not interact if you are proship or anything of the sort. Yall are nasty. I’m also SUPER uncomfortable with doubles im sorry. If you interact as a double then I cannot stop you from doing so, depending on the f/o I don’t really care, but if I have to block you then I will.

DO interact however if you have one of my platonic/familial f/os as a romantic f/o (or vice versa) and/or if we share a common special interest or hyperfixation. Yall are literally so cool I love having selfship inlaws

ANYWAYS. list is below the cut

Characters that currently have The Braincell:

•Folly (Regretevator) [romantic]

•Carolina Mach (Regretevator) [romantic]

•Sab (Regretevator) [familial, older brother]

• Subspace (PHIGHTING!) [romantic]

Characters I had on my f/o list before THE INCIDENT that I forgot the appeal of and now im waiting for the whimsy to kick back in:

•Black Hole (BFDI/BFB/TPOT) [romantic]

•Remote (BFDI/BFB/TPOT) [platonic]

• Carol (FNF) [platonic]

•Sunday (FNF) [familial, older sibling]

•Lukas (Minecraft Story Mode) [romantic]

•Amelia Euler/“scenty” (HFJONE) [romantic]

•Aradia Megido (homestuck) [romantic]

•Dirk Strider (homestuck) [romantic]

•Jade Harley (homestuck) [romantic]

•YinYang (inanimate insanity) [romantic]

Secret Third Option (both):

•Pico (FNF) [romantic]

Secret Fourth Option (I don’t think about them a lot but they’re fictionkin induced so they’re kinda important)

•Test Tube (inanimate insanity) [romantic]

•MePhone4 (inanimate insanity) [familial, dad]

•Bot (inanimate insanity) [familial, child]

•Paintbrush (inanimate insanity) [platonic]

•Lightbulb (inanimate insanity) [platonic]

The Ship Tags:

⚔️cosmic rivers🐟 - Dirk Strider/Cosmo Inada

🦴nivzadia✨- Aradia Megido/Nivzai Mutara

🐺jadefaun🦋- Jade Harley/Faun Neumann

🔮earthly delights♠️ - Folly/Willow
