my biggest fans are literally me and my two friend-family sisters

one of them wrote a coffee shop au with my oc's and the other was devastated when i gave up on my wip she'd been hyping up from the start

as for me? i get excited at my own stories like i've never read them before. like omg what happens next? the thing that i just wrote? no fucking way dude, how was i supposed to see this coming?

maybe this is wildly off topic, but found family is truly at its best when you see yourself as one of the people that you found.

feeling like an outcast as a child because i was too afraid to show anyone when i was feeling a negative emotion. giving myself criticism i wouldn't levy against my worst enemy. my real Moment of growing up was taking that kid by the hand, taking them to a mirror, and saying 'i think every part of you is wonderful' and offering a place in my found family.

my friends are my found family. without a doubt. but i'm also my found family. and that's pretty dope.

missy says “the doctor kills people too, i just enjoy it more. he’s the farmer, i’m the hunter, you know” and that makes me think she’s intimately aware of the sacrificial lamb paradigm. the lord is my shepherd. companions as beautiful little foals raised for the slaughter. with sorrow, of course, and remorse. the farmer loves every new creature in their flock with an emotional tenderness reserved for children and lovers. he’ll grieve when the butcher comes. he always does. but it’s inevitable. and you can always pretend your pet will live as long as you but fifty dog years are ten of your own. and when the time comes to put them down you’ll blame the vet. you’ll blame whoever has to bleed the calf. you’ll try not to blame yourself. after all, creatures in the wild alone lead such boring, listless lives. you’re showing them the wonders of the cosmos they’d never have seen with their normalcy-blinkered gaze. you’re doing them a favour. you’ll adopt another one. it will thank you as the light leaves its eyes.

but the hunter is evil, you say. the hunter kills willfully, the hunter stalks its prey, the hunter attacks with no mercy. instantly. painlessly, maybe. is that really so much worse?

after all, many moons ago, with a bloodied rock in his hands and the spectre of Death breathing down his neck, the hunter’s future had become the farmer’s first sacrifice. many moons ago, cain was the farmer and abel the hunter. and cain killed abel

crying about the fact that amanda overton can't even say with certainty what, "are you still in this fight, violet?" is actually referring to.

amanda: "oh it's a metaphor for how their stories are just beginning and they're just starting out on their path together."

okay but what does it MEAN. to what is it actually, textually, referring?

amanda: 🤷‍♀️"idk, you decide."

Genuinely confused

I'm really confused about the people who draw/reblog art for this game but have "proship dni" in their bio, like what does that even mean exactly? Cause DOL has everything, from vore, to pseudo-incest, bestiality, and unavoidable non-con/dub-con. Like who is supposed to interact with your content then?

One good thing that came out of the AI art boom is that it made me appreciate abstract art more. I never hated it, but huge canvases painted in one solid color never impressed me much until now. Someone actually had to put the effort into gathering the materials and creating something. They didn’t simply come up with an idea and let something else produce it for them.

It’s not the end result that matters so much as the process. The act of creation is, in itself, a work of art.

I really need an episode where Caine goes all into adventures with Pomni to possibly try to make her have fun and get along the circus but is like the most terrifying thing to Pomni.

It would be hilarious please give me a

Pomni: We're going die-

Caine: of FUN!

I've had an unfathomably stressful weekend among my right-wing maternal relatives. Naturally, I'm celebrating my escape with a poll!

I like to headcanon a bunch of my faves as ace or grey-ace, sometimes with reasons that make sense to other people, sometimes out of pure projection (I'm a grey-ace lesbian myself, and this bleeds out into my fandom tastes!).

REMINDER that this isn't (necessarily) a vote for your favorite character, or even your personal favorite-of-all-time ace headcanon. Vote for the character on this list that you would most enjoy imagining as asexual or grey-ace. Feel free to add details about your headcanons for your choice, though!

Details for mine specifically:

Luke Skywalker - aro-ace, misunderstands his natural rapport+psychic bond with Leia as attraction in part because he's never actually experienced real attraction and never will.

Charlotte Lucas - ace lesbian.

Men in Tolkien - grey-ace or ace, depending on the instance (I was tempted to exclude a very few specific individuals like Finwë, Samwise Gamgee, and Eöl, but it was inconvenient, and honestly, I still feel the Tolkien default for dudes is grey-ace).

Spock - gay grey-ace outside of pon farr scenarios (he hates the prospect of pon farr with T'Pring for multiple reasons! he's also aggressively disinterested in Mudd's women, the lady sexbots in "Shore Leave," etc, for ... uh, also multiple reasons).

Romana I - grey-ace.

Athena - very aggressively 100% aro-ace, can and will strike down anyone who doubts this.

Anakin Skywalker - Padmésexual.

Fitzwilliam Darcy - grey-ace, has been slightly attracted to people before, but rarely and not very strongly, until Elizabeth upends his entire experience of sexuality in the space of about 2 weeks. His own feelings only get (far) more intense and foreign to him from there.

Emelye - aro-ace. Rarely have I more strongly wished I could free someone from the story they're trapped in.

Tar-Telperiën - aro-ace, will bring the full weight of royal power to bear on anyone who has a problem with it (following the example of her lesbian great-grandmother Tar-Ancalimë, but refusing to marry at all. goodforher.jpeg)

Moiraine - grey-ace & lesbian. Yes, I know Jordan wants me to believe she's into Thom. je refuse

Cassian Andor - grey-ace, and near the "fully ace" boundary. He's mostly into Jyn and very surprised (and initially dismayed) about it.

Plausible explanation for the lack of Jaskier's chest hair in SOTD

I am having fun with it 😄

So they decided to give Geralt a bit of his chest hair when his chest is visible. But you can see that they use tricks to hide it or they are simply gone sometimes.

I guess there is some difficulties to animate or render hairs on 3d models. Like this is doing crazy things hard to predict on the textures, or things like that.

So then...

Animators : study Joey's performance for Jaskier in S1

Animator realising the task to incorporate the hairs as Jaskier has his shirt open in every scene.

** denial survival mode activated ** : he has no chest hair.

is hua cheng really taller in his true form than as san lang. or is it just the five inch platform boots that mxtx doesn’t want to admit he’s wearing

hey! i saw you mention jason momoa aquaman as anoth hawaiian character in dc (love LOVE your taonui and nanaue comic by the way its beautiful!) and i wanted to mention that (ironically) jason momoa plays aquaman as having māori heritage and speaking te reo bc his dad is played by his hero temuera morrison. i hope this doesn’t come off as disrespectful, i just thought it was something cool and wanted to let you know !

source for proof: https://www.bet.com/article/7n336j/aquaman-s-jason-momoa-has-never-watched-entourage

hi there! (thank you for the complement! I'm glad you enjoyed my comic!) and totally fine. Yes, I think that's an instance of monolithic casting/writing which is to be expected when they weren't super committed to culturally informing the narrative. It's neat info (and I love that Momoa was specific with where he pulled it from), I just wanted to focus on Momoa's identity specifically for my version :)
