HI i dont think we’re mutuals or anything but i love kimlisa slash lisim and i remembered you do as well anf i finally saw clear versions of this drawing So i wanted to share incase you had not seen them!!!! HEART i love these girls so much ….. never not thinkinf about kimlisa

I didn't see this before the queued post left on account of Sleeping but- YEAH!!!

I adore these. I've been eager to see this work finished since it was first teased by Bryan a while back- DESPERATELY wish I had any real chance of getting either version. But alas.... I am poor.... (and haven't been to a convention since, like. The 2018 Mechacon, rip 😔)

Anyway. Lisim.... Lisim my beloved.... you are Real and Canon To Me.... (at least as a one sided thing 💔)

Have you seen GAP the series?? Personally I thought it was trash. So bad, but I heard they changed the script so many times so it was bound to happen. I didn’t watch Marvellous Dream but everyone says it was bad too. Now Loyal Pin is starting and I don’t want to give that a chance either. What the heck, Idol Factory? I’m not saying they’re masterpieces but their BLs are good. Why can’t they make good GLs?

i have indeed watched GAP but i have to admit that it’s hard for me to be as objective about this show as i usually try to be with all the media i consume, because while part of me KNOWS it’s not the best series, im also very fond of it for what it represented as the first fully fledged GL we’ve ever gotten

im also aware i tend to be more forgiving towards GLs compared to BLs, mostly because BL shows have been around for years and were allowed to sometimes be pretty bad as they experimented and tried things out, while as it often happens with women i feel like a lot of people expected GLs to be nothing short than perfect from the get go and refuse to allow even the smallest misstep

all this being said, my marvellous dream is you was definitely (and unfortunately) not a good show (albeit i did weirdly enjoy some parts of it), and if you already didn’t like GAP you for sure wouldn’t like mmdiy either, because sadly i think this series has all the flaws GAP had but magnified 10 times: the main pairing keeps running around in circle about the same misunderstandings over and over again, the miscommunication goes through the roof, the relationship is very unbalanced, there are way too many characters who are there just for the drama and aren’t given enough space or depth (people saying we only got crumbs for chainpun in we are, well, let me tell you….. it can be worse ;;;;;;;), the pacing is a mess, and im sure im forgetting something else too. there could have been one saving grace in my marvellous dream is you (the fantasy element), but even that was neither explored nor narratively used at all

what i think it’s interesting is that both series were adapted by novels from the same author, so i do wonder which of those issues are due to the original material and which ones are due to idolfactory itself, because while an adaptation can definitely try to fix certain things, it also depends on how much artistic license they can actually take (this is why im very curious to see how GMMTV is gonna adapt pluto and us, since they’re also stories from that author)

as for the loyal pin, i haven’t been able to start it yet (petition to get an extra day in the week just to watch my shows), however im really looking forward to finally be able to, because this time the original novel is from a different author, so im hoping it won’t have the same issues when it comes to the plot and the characters

so yeah, i do think that there are some stylistic choices that are very typical of idolfactory that they should probably revisit (for example, having a big cast and pretty long episodes), but when it comes to GL specifically maybe they just didn’t pick the best material (or the right one for them as a company), so i hope the loyal pin is gonna be their turning point and that future projects will get better and better!!!!!

It gives me GREAT pleasure to show off this gorgeous piece created for myself and @dumortains, of our ocs Kendis and Alexis, by @jiyaneru [here it is in all its wonderful actual sizing]!

[msburgundy]

not sure exactly what i did this morning when i sat up by my shoulder kinda rolled out again, not nearly as bad and seemingly without further injury so i'll still count the overall healing progress as good. i just wish i knew why so i knew where to focus

it seems like it doesn't like to be extended forward while in internal rotation, but i'm not sure what i should be targeting to fill that gap?

Yet, even Chapuys, who gives us this information, says earlier in the same letter that ‘there had been… talk of a new marriage for this king… which rumour agrees well with my own news from the court of France, where, according to letters [I have] received, courtiers maintain that this king has actually applied for the hand of Francis’ daughter’. Chapuys himself therefore does not connect up the rumours of a ‘new marriage’ with Jane Seymour. In early April, Jane was still little more than a lady whom the king was pursuing. At best, in accordance with the conventions of courtly love, she was the lady whom ‘he serves’ – a telling phrase. At worst, she was a passing fancy, whom Henry may have hoped to make his mistress. Chapuys certainly didn’t think much of Henry’s choice. He described Jane the day before Anne’s execution as ‘no great beauty’ and ‘not a woman of great wit’; he implied that she was unlikely to be a virgin, and reported that people said she was inclined ‘to be proud and haughty’. Yet, by this point, the world had changed, and with it, Henry’s intentions towards Jane. It is highly improbable that before Anne was considered guilty of adultery, Henry had seriously begun to plan to make Jane his wife.

thinking of what it means to instinctively recognize colonial violence. why instinct. why are we allowing instinct to move us in situations like this where the lives and deaths of thousands of people are at stake, where the state of things is so volatile it really might kick off a larger regional war that would endanger many more. surely there must be better ways to understand and recognize colonial violence that arent based on vibes and instinct right? right?

Vent post…. yay………

Some context: I write fanfiction sometimes, about whatever I feel like at the time. I don’t usually post any, preferring to just save it as a draft on Wattpad (which I’m used to, as I found it before any other site. Plus it keeps your drafts FOREVER, which I thought was obvious, but I guess not). However, due to technical difficulties (and having it constantly on for like mayyybe four years straight?? Could be six haha moving on), my computer just will not turn on. Which sucks because I had a ton of tabs open, but I’m not too down about that part anymore; the part that I’m VERY down about, however, is the fact that I can’t write anymore. I could use ao3 (and I do to read!) but then I’d be on a time limit (30 days), which would make me constantly stress thinking about it until it’s posted, which would not be good for my mental health. I could use fanfiction.net, as it has a longer time limit (365 days), but I’ve never used it before, and getting used to it would be really hard (it was hard enough with ao3). I’ve tried writing on Wattpad on my phone, but the option to write just isn’t even present?? Which is such bullshit????? And it might be fine if I get the app, but I kinda just. Don’t want to. I also have the ability to use a computer that isn’t mine and just login there, but it’s weird, and everything in my gut and soul is telling me Not To Do That for some reason, so I haven’t yet. I’m really considering just getting the Wattpad app and being done with it, because I’ve had some really good thoughts on a Pokémon fanfic I’m writing, and I wanna write it down so I don’t forget, but I don’t know.

He is sharing its limited backstory. Also casual clothes (not at all stolen sweater) (Tannis was fine with him being naked but everyone was complaining)

so i've been learning how to draw the dude (who i'll call Mach until his actual name is revealed) from Halfbrick's new prototype game TapKO cause i kinda got fixated on him,,, he's a stoic boxer who works his way up to becoming a true pro by punching the shit out of everything he sees, basically. the game he's from is on Halfbrick+ and it's pretty swell! (i may have also strained my wrist and forearm from all the excessive spamming while playing it.....)

(ignore the pupiless Garfield i forgor to crop the photo) i like drawing him in a sort of "come here" pose with his boxing gloves and giving his head a slight tilt (despite the fact that i can't draw head tilts properly...) i think he looks pretty cool like that :)

i like to imagine he doesn't really smile a lot, mostly out of slight embarrassment as he prefers to always have a permanent stone-faced Kubrick Stare™ and not show much emotion :P

did a little blender test to try to figure out how i should shade him. still figuring out how to shade properly on paper, i think this turned out alright :) i want his scar to be less defined though,, eh i'll fix it later

bonus machfries (barry x mach) crack ship sketches under the cut

man, this game hasn't even been out for a week and i'm already making stupid ship art of Mach and Barry lmao..... imagine if these two did get together though, Barry trying to lighten the mood and telling jokes, while Mach just gives him this absolute poker face,, and Barry just laughs awkwardly about it trying to change the subject. Mach would like him back though, they'd probably do little boxing matches in Barry's backyard or something :) (also sorry barry looks a little off, i keep forgetting how i usually draw him,,)

ok real talk.... this would happen.... probably. maybe Barry said something that pissed Mach off and lead him to punch him in the face, and as Mach gets close to him, Barry suddenly gets caught in his handsome focused eyes, his manly face, his awesome hair.... and then immediately gets pulled out of the moment as Mach punches the shit out of him. Barry's sitting down grimacing and recovering afterwards as Flash offers him bandages and ice packs. he looks pissed, and he is, but the way Mach so effortlessly beat his ass is still fresh in his mind. i think someone's in love :3

many trans people have terrific bird names (jay, wren, raven, robin, piper) but it feels like shorebirds are underexplored territory.

avocet: 7/10 great sound, very elegant. fails the starbucks test

killdeer: 9/10 imagine meeting a killdeer at a party. banger

woodcock: 3/10 probably not worth it but extremely funny bit potential for a trans dude

plover: 10/10 this one's real actually. where are all the plovers

heron: 8/10 you'd get a lot of "hera" but that's good too

dowitcher, godwit: 4/10 but very dark souls

sora: this one's taken actually. sorry.
