﹙pasquale 781. ﹚. . . pretending I don't see the ghost !? 🍒 : "Let's start this off by saying I can see ghosts. Yeah. OoOoOoOoo. Always been able to. Anyway. So just my luck! I landed with a pookie who can do the same. Great right?

Yeah. If I wasn't shit scared of half the fuckers I see. Ghosts aren't little kids standing in nightgowns. FUCK NO. They're demons. Weird lil shits. And that's saying a lot, my brother's satan.

Not so bad you say?? Until pookie decides they wanna mention every time one's in the room! I don't mind them clinging. Course not. But the problem comes in when I pretend I can't see a damn thing. Lowkey gaslighting them that there's nothing there. Is that bad?

Well they got angry at me over it yesterday and for fucks sakes what am I supposed to do man? 'AH! A GHOST!' Do I look like fucking ghostbusters??? I'm italian. This ain't Luigi's Mansion! If I see it ( AND I REGRETABLY FUCKING DO ) - no i don't!

This came off a lot more frantic but how the hell do I tell pookie that their big, strong, kinetic user-punk-racer-boyfriend is afraid of ghosties?

Edit: to everyone calling me a pussy that's so funny cause your mom called me that too when I was ball's deep -"

 

﹙seong-jin 9948e. ﹚. . . being too honest !? 🍓 : "I'm a bit too honest with my partner. Before anyone writes about me being insensitive or being an asshole ( I know ). I would like to preface that my honesty is the reason we are even together. I flat out asked them if they wish to date. They agreed. Now we're two years into a relationship.

I've never hidden this part of me. If it comes to mind, it is out my mouth. That's how it's always been. If I don't like the way they're acting, I say it. If they ask me a question, I answer honestly. It's been this way for years. With everyone. Not only can I not stand bullshit, I simply do not have the energy to sugarcoat anything. They have been fine with this. While we do clash every now and then, I always make it known that I do not come from a place of malice. That is how we have made it work for two years.

How was I supposed to know answering, truthfully, that I did not like their outfit — was not appropriate?

I understand that there can be some sensitivity. I try to compensate for them like they do me. But they asked me a question, what was I supposed to do - lie?

Now I am at work. Feeling as though I really did it this time. I apologised before I left. Sent a text too. What the hell am I supposed to do? I even told them just because I don't like it does not mean they do not have to wear it.

How do I get around this?"

 

﹙rishen 1311. ﹚. . . not inviting them over !? 🍒 : "Get the gist of how this works. I'll be brief. I have been dating this person for about a year or so. 'One whole year' as they prefaced this morning in their frustrated slew.

I simply do not think it has been long enough. I feel as though we are moving too fast. Before anyone goes calling 'commitment issues' or 'what are you hiding?' : a gun. Under my pillow. Every night.

Yes, I denied them access when they showed up by surprise. I led them back to their home and spent the night with them. Yes, I didn't let them walk me home from the bar. Yes, I bled all over my floor from a stab wound and still told them to not show up while they panicked over the phone. Is it so wrong?

I assumed they would understand that it has nothing to do with them. I have my reasons. None of it involves them. But I suppose we simply can't have nice things. Fucking fantastic.

Is it to hard to understand that I'm just shit scared to wake up to someone every morning? Or have them in my kitchen cooking me food?

I'm fine. I don't need their help. I am fine. I just need to know that I'm not losing my mind over this. What do I do?"

 

﹙xiyang 9819. ﹚. . . not telling her I'm infertile !? 🍓 : "This feels a bit more bizarre than the other entries. But guess we're all dealt a different hand. My girlfriend and I have been in a happy relationship for five years now.

I love her to bits. Everything about her. Express that in whatever way I can. Just be honest with her, I'm sure you're typing. Yeah. Cept for one damn thing:

She's got a huge fucking breeding kink.

Don't laugh. I'm constantly fighting for my life. I'm off the hook for now. Told her I just can't commit to a baby with my job and hers. So she's on the contraceptives thinking they'll fucking matter. Bouncing on me like a pogo-stick telling me to breed her!

Hunny! If I could I would! I wouldn't hesitate to just give you every baby you want and more but unfortunately my lil swimmers are fucking defected.

Maybe I should mention that I indulge her. Can I be blamed? She gets so into it. I don't mind the fantasy one bit. I'm just a guy who loves his girl and wants to give her whatever her pretty little heart desires.

And if that means making her believe I can pop one in her whenever? So be it. We'll just get a puppy or something I don't fucking know. I'm typing this in panic."

Hii- I...☝️🥹 um, I don't actually quite know what to say to my idol. But believe me when I say I am absolutely besotted by your art 🫶💐

I actually got introduced to your page via your COD Valentine's Day cards, and have been stalking your account consuming your art like a hungry fella since then.

Did you know: You actually inspired me and my IRL friends to do art? :3 If you don't mind, any tips for self-learning beginners? 📝

And, sorry if this is a whole lot to read—just wanted to let you know that you are such a great artist! And I hope you know that. Great is an understatement, though 🙂‍↕️

omg??? thank you so much qwq it seriously means a lot to me!! <3

a small heads up, i'm not a pro or an art teacher, so these tips are just based on my own experience as a self-taught artist:

just draw. sounds simple, but practice really does make perfect. i always struggle with motivation at the beginning of a drawing, but trust me, the flow state kicks in once you get started

references are your best friend! omg, they make such a difference, especially for bigger pieces or anything you're unsure about

learn from other artists, but don’t just copy. figure out how they do things and put your own spin on it. for me, studying comic artists helped a lot with simplifying anatomy in a way that makes sense (im still learning though xD)

don’t overwhelm yourself! focus on one thing at a time. if you’re doing a composition study, don’t get too caught up in tiny details or textures—focus on the big picture first

listen to your body and mental health. take breaks, stretch, and don’t be afraid to step away for a bit. sometimes a quick walk can clear your mind and recharge you

dont compare yourself to anyone but your past self and if you post stuff/have art blog - dont pay that much attention to likes/reblogs n etc, they dont define you or your art

more under the cut!

i also recommend to check out these: again, dont overwhelm yourself with new information, this section is more of an archive/compilation of where you can find some different stuff

YT channels

Sinix Design - I LOVE HIS TUTORIALS SO MUCH.

Ethan Becker - art tips and critisism

Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL - honestly i dont really know how to describe his content. it feels like an art podcats but more..personal? just check his channel out and you'll see it for yourself

moderndayjames - more animation based but still a lot of helpful tutorials

Videos

this specific video helped me understand that light is not that complicated

in this video, the author shares how they learned art, and i think they nailed the 4th tip perfectly

another lighting video

part 1 of a "how to splash art" series which goes over almost everything you need to know. this series more of a guide cause you still need to go into a depth for each topic but i just have to share it anyways, other parts can be found in the description

Books / Libraries (google drive links)

anatomy for sculptors - helps a lot with anatomy simplification and understanding

a big library with art books and other resources

another library with some books

lmk if something doesnt work or you have something else to add!! :]

Hi, me again. I'm just curious, when/why did you first get into Monkey King? I'd been aware of him for while (I kinda knew who he was, where he came from, that he inspired certain other characters like Goku in DBZ and Saiyuki and stuff) but only started learning more about him recently after I watched Monkey King: Hero is Back and fell in love. I watched an entire playthrough of Black Myth Wukong and, even though I had no idea what was happening storywise, absolutely loved every minute of it! Since then, I've gotten more familiar with the characters and story of Journey to the West, and devoured the three live-action movies, the Netflix movie, Monkey King: Reborn, New Gods: Nezha Reborn, and the Lego Monkie Kid series. I can't get enough of this guy! He's such a lovable little gremlin. I think my fav versions are Hero is Back Wukong and the Destined One.

...Okay now I'm going back to hide in my corner for realsies this time lol (sorry I'm shy)

I am so happy to get asks like this, thank you for fighting thru your shyness to send them!! Fair warning, I do get rambly (I'm an AuDHD writer, it's very hard for me to turn off my info dumping lolol) 

First off again, I really really do appreciate getting asks like this!! I put my writing and silly ideas up because I want to interact with other fans!! Sadly within the past few years interaction with fan works has depleted, and so it does make it a struggle to keep up with the creative process. (I've honestly been feeling like I'm speaking into the void sometimes when I post my Wukong stuff. The thing that keeps me going and writing is the few individuals who consistently interact with me with their own ideas and comments. Other people's ideas fuel my ideas, so if you or anyone else has a thought they want to share I will love to hear it and respond to it.) With that said, on to my past!!!

Now, I've always been a massive fan of mythology, and I hyperfixated on Greek myth for years (like, this year is my 16th anniversary kind of hyperfixation). And I always told myself that at some point I would branch off into other mythologies. 

I had always felt a connection with Daoism and Buddism because a lot of the philosophies made sense to me. I'm a zoologist, part of my job is teaching people at my city's science museum about nature and animals. A lot of Daoist philosophies are based on the ebb and flow of nature, but I just never found anything that actually hooked me to get me obsessed with it. It was more like a passing appreciation for what it represents and the ideals it holds. 

Now complete subject change, I love FromSoft souls games. Up until Wukong, I would write for other fandoms, and get a couple fics in before moving on (and even then it's not a lot. Wukong just…does something to my brain to get me writing) but I adore FromSoft games. I love the combat (I don't think I'm like…competitively good but I can beat the bosses and I have some decent skill) and I especially love the lore. Those games are so rich in lore, I adore it!! About gods and monsters and magic practices, all amazing! 

And back in February, a YouTuber I watch for mythology content did a whole video on Black Myth Wukong, explaining the lore of the different bosses. I was bored and hadn't heard anything about the game before, so I clicked it. 

I had my mind fucking blown.

That intro to the game? Sucked me in like nothing else. I didn't even get 5 minutes into the video before I was exiting out and looking up how much the game cost and everything I could to learn about it. 

Who was this sexy demon guy in gold armor flying on a cloud with this gorgeous music playing in the background? Holy shit this sexy demon guy is challenging a celestial army, he's so badass! Who is he!?!

I stayed up all night learning everything I could about Journey to the West. I bought the books that same night, I bought the game and started playing, I started looking up movies and shows, everything. 

And then it hit me, “oh wait, I know who the Monkey King is! I heard that name before!!” And I realized how many things this god had influenced! Characters from all different types of shows and movies and games, all with nods to this story!!

I think my first real moment of being aware of Wukong was actually from the game Persona 5, funny enough. I was never big on anime (believe me, I've tried. Never could get into it) but I did like the Persona 5 game, I liked the art style and story telling. Now for those who haven't played this game, there is a character named Ryuji, who is my fav character.

Ryuji is a brash ball of sunshine who's labeled as a delinquent and constantly looked down upon by the adults in his life because he tried to do the right thing and got fucked over by an adult who was supposed to help him, but instead abused him. He has a Persona (his personality/heart given magical form, essentially) that started out as a pirate based on Captain Kidd. When you level his friendship up enough, his Persona evolves into - you guessed it - Sun Wukong. A pretty funky looking design but I thought it was still fun and kooky and it was the Persona of my fav character from the game, so I was going to like it no matter what. That is technically my first introduction to Sun Wukong 🤣🤣🤣

Since I've gotten Black Myth Wukong and the OG Books, I've been devouring content for Wukong wherever I can get it. I haven't watched the live action movies yet, but I've been watching the 1986 show 💖💖 I want to watch Havoc on Heaven but haven't found a decent quality with Chinese VAs and English translations sadly…

But I've watched all the other animated movies I believe, and I haven't caught up on Lego Monkie Kid (I have…mixed opinions on it) but I just love Wukong in any form!! I have been asked before what my fav version is and I'm gonna give the same answer I did then, I like all of them for different reasons. They all have their charm and flaws and funny moments that make me fall in love with them 💖💖💖

I really really hope to see more of him in the future, especially Hero is Back!! Nezha and Nezha 2 are the highest grossing movies, could you imagine if the same director and writing team did another movie focusing on Dasheng!?! I would die!! Not to mention whispers of Black Myth dlc this year!!! I want all the content I can get on our beloved monkey husband, I love him so much 💖🐒💖🐒💖🐒

 He senses the vibrant life within her, amplified by the nature of her magic, which seeps into her very bones. It is that of an ever-shifting coalescence of light and energy. She has so much of it, barely contained within her corporeal form. With anyone else, it might prove to be too much, but for her, it’s simply existence. She’s so powerful, yet so innocent. He has an admittedly hard time reconciling it, but that was just how life is, with all its mystery and splendor.

 With her description, he listens closely, fingers gripping around his staff a little tighter as a form of stimulation. Feelings from a time long since passed — a primordial sensation of tearing and ripping a huge entity apart. “I see. Huge? I wonder what it was.” He has a hard time wrapping his mind around it, but with more experience, he’s certain it will become clearer.

 Despite the foreboding nature of her toothy maw, her smile is contagious, and he reflects a softer one back to her. It comes easily to him, unlike how they used to be forced out for specific coworkers or mentors, because he can see the true intent behind her gestures beyond the bestial traits, which are admittedly just as much a part of her.

 “It is strange to imagine I am part of something so vast. Almost overwhelming, perhaps.” He looks downcast for a moment, then back up. “But I am glad to have met you, Briar. You have shown me I am not alone in this existence. I am also certain there is much I could learn from you.” He gives a tip of his head to her out of respect. “Before my transformation, magic felt like some sort of shocking electricity — painful and dangerous — but now that I have been reborn, it feels far more like a song-filled breeze, drawing me further into its web. Does the same hold true for you, or does magic flow through you differently?”

Shifting her stance, it was very clear that the excited golem couldn't stand still. So much energy, so much life flowed through her in not just the fact she was moving but her very magic. Blood was what many living things had, what they required to survive, and she encapsulated so much of it. Always adapting, always learning, excited for new things with a desire to keep shifting and adapting.

Now she rocks back and forth on her feet. Front, back, side to side, Briar takes in the words. A physical showing as here eyebrows twitch, furrow, she nods, the very workings of her brain and processes on display. Briar does nothing to hide how she feels, expressed in every bit of her.

" Memory like, sight? Because I can remember feelings from a really long time ago! The ripping apart something Huuuuge! " Stretching out her body and sticking out one of her legs as if to emphasize just how big the thing might have been. " But I was born from magic. I've always been part of it, and always will be! Just like everyone like us. " Giving him a very wide smile, she couldn't help it this time.

One of the few times her more human side shines through and her actions reflect more of a person smiling than of the feral nature and display of joy she normally would do. A good effort, if not for the razor sharp maw behind her curled lips that might give off a more sinister feel if not for the kind words that preceded it.

[afterthelambs]

Idk how to explain it but the general vibe is like

pre-timeskip: Kagehina

post-timeskip: Hinakage

Basically going to Brazil gave Hinata a confidence boost and becoming an adult made Kageyama go from baby to babygirl

"That's fair. We do tend to get a little--carried away, don't we?" Grimmjow knew that much didn't he? He was well aware that out there he would be a little more than unhinged. He wanted to go all out when he fought him again. He wanted to show off that growth and strength that he had cultivated for so long. That made him King, that made him able to stand beside Hali and Nel with pride in his chest. The number he bore meant plenty to him but it didn't quite hold that much weight anymore, right? Now he could stand on equal footing with those two and anyone else. Especially Ichigo.

"Damn right I am. Of course sometimes ya so mean to me with ya words. It also hurts my feelings a little too much ya know?" He would fake a huff and a pout of his lips, crossing his arms briefly as that white fabric clung to muscles defined underneath. "It probably wouldn't be right? Of course though that don't mean I can't play nice when given the right incentives to do so." Of course Grimmjow was mostly playing off the fact that he could be motivated to be a domesticated house cat. He could act in a more civilized manner if he so desired, especially if that meant getting even closer to Ichigo. But right now it didn't seem like he was interested in seeing anything "nice" from him. Far from it and he really didn't mind.

"It's cause ya out here expectin' me to act all impatiently that I don't act. Ain't like I gotta out right pounce to prove ya mine right? That's not how I remember the last time we met up. When I kissed ya so good ya head spun remember?" Of course that and the various times after but who was really counting? He liked kissing Ichigo and he liked hearing the other moan and groan into his mouth. It was probably one of his favorite things about Ichigo. "I'm seein' what ya picturin' and that does sound very interestin'. Especially as you say he's the one that gives ya hell." He would joke with a playful glint in his eyes. "I might wanna break bread with him sooner than later. If he can give me all the secrets and fuel."

"Of course. I ain't gonna label ya as an easily caught meal. Ain't no way I would want it to be that way either." As much as it would ease those thoughts in his head about devouring Ichigo and making more than just his head spin, he also liked the long game. He liked the back and forth they were building. Circling each other as if they were both predators stalking the other as prey. It was very much enjoyable for the former Espada.

"Oh? Then tell me, what should I be callin' ya then? Cause when I call ya by ya name, ya face turns all red like one." He would reply with a small arch of his brow. Of course though he was mostly teasing and he would find plenty of other things to call Ichigo if he played his cards right. "Then ya should come by Hueco Mundo sometime, hell I'll drag ya over there. Plenty of little vermin that wanna look at me all wrong cause they think the sexta shouldn't be allowed to have power. My number ain't fuckin' high enough for them." That thought alone made his blood boil and a small growl escape him. He would show them all one by one if he had to, and if Ichigo wanted to watch? Made it all the better. Then his end words would come and all of that anger and steam would turn into a mild blush, a soft shade of pink that wouldn't be exactly noticable unless you were looking right at it. "Y--Yeah I am." He would reply with a small nod. "I--I want--I want ya to be my boyfriend and stuff. LIke, ya know---I want ya to be mine and for--for me to be yers okay?"

"The sands is better, that way we don't have to worry about ruining any buildings here in the world of the living," Ichigo felt that was a good idea, since Hueco Mundo had a lot more terrain they could use to their advantage. Plus the sand and everything was really quite pretty in the ginger's eyes. Sure, he didn't live there, but he did like the place. He'd gone back after he got his powers back to try and find Grimmjow, but he'd found nothing but a mostly destroyed Las Noches, and very few Arrancar. None of which had seen Grimmjow since the day they fought. He'd felt pain in his chest that day, but he'd not let it get to him, because somewhere inside himself he knew Grimmjow was alive.

He wanted to be claimed but he'd yet to give in. Mostly because he wanted to see how long Grimmjow could hold out on doing such a thing. He even wore shirts that showed more of his neck and throat. "Yeah, I'm yours, Grimmjow. And you're mine, too, right?" There was a bit of a smirk on his face after he asked that, his golden brown eyes focusing on the taller male's face. "I happen to like the fact that you're not playing nice, Grimmjow. It wouldn't be you if you were nice." Maybe the other could be nice, if he wanted to be, but it might be weird to see. He'd let out a laugh as Grimmjow said it wouldn't be as fun if he corrupted him right off the bat. He was probably right about that though.

As Grimmjow leaned forward as he spoke the ginger would remain as he was. "Who knows, maybe I'd like if you pounced me, Grimmjow. I'm yours right? I'm kind of surprised you haven't taken what belongs to you yet." And there was that little shit eating grin again, he was looking into Grimmjow's eyes, he really loved the color. They were so gorgeous, and he supposed it was only fair that the other male had gorgeous eyes to go along with everything else he had going on. "I don't know if you know what an albino is, but that's what he looks like. He's identical to me in every way, aside from his hair, and skin being white, like your bone mask. HIs sclera is black, and his eyes are golden yellow." His tongue was also blue but he didn't think Grimmjow would need to know that, whenever he met Zangetsu he'd see what he meant.

"Yeah, I get that. You want to work for it, rather than just get it." Which was one of the main reasons he was playing hard to get despite the fact that he really got into making out with the other, tangling his fingers in that sky blue hair and tugging. Whenever Grimmjow left him, he was always sporting kiss bruised lips for a few days, and at least one hickey that was impossible to hide. He never went into detail about where he got the marks or anything though. Even when his friends asked.

When Grimmjow called him strawberry he'd frown and press his lips into a thin line. "Don't call me strawberry, Grimmjow." His tone was very much unamused and he'd cross his arms over his chest. "Yeah, I do wanna see you tear someone apart for looking at you wrong." he knew Grimmjow would, too. The former Espada hated people looking down on him, which was one of the reasons they'd fought one another in the past. When Grimmjow said that he wanted him to call him 'his', the ginger's face lit up a bright red. He'd cough which was a means to try to clear his throat, but he was genuinely surprised. "Is that your... uh way of asking me to be your boyfriend, Grimmjow? Because, th-that's what that sounds like." He'd clear his throat once more before looking back up at the taller man. "I'd like that, for you... to be mine."

my sense of urgency for this election was all used up watching a genocide play out live on instagram while my mom continued to talk about which politician might make the housing market better and i tried not to genuinely lose my mind over the dissonance. in all honesty short of bombs dropping on americans' houses my adrenal glands are beyond checked out. i'll show up to the polls and do my part and try to plug into the bare bones direct action i can find in the middle of nowhere deep red county state but god. there are so many posts circulating trying to fear monger me into voting for one genocidal president of this genocidal nation over another and i may as well live on a different planet. i can fathom the urgency but i could not make myself feel it short of being held at gunpoint. which may even be on the ballot but that's how americans have been voting for decades now and each of them regardless of party has worried about the idea of being held at gunpoint while a right of theirs is taken away while there are people who are already being held at gunpoint and their rights have already been taken away by the very people being beamed into my eyeballs as the escape from this hypothetical violence that's already non-hypothetically happened to millions who aren't US liberals because of the america they're trying to save from trump the same america regardless of democrats or republicans or whigs or federalists and does anyone else feel like they're going crazy
