Cass + ballet 🩰 (ft. supportive siblings and good dad Bruce)
I love the idea of Cass enjoying dance. It's an outlet that allows her to express herself without words, and I think she would enjoy the highly technical aspect of ballet combined with its storytelling and emotional side. and as a former dancer I always have fun imagining my fav characters do ballet :)
#ft good older bro dick grayson. and supportive babs and steph. and good dad bruce#sewing pointe shoes in the batcave as one does#cass jus having fun#dick and cass bonding over how they both enjoy stretching and falling asleep in the strangest positions#the rite of passage of trying pointes for the first time#bruce watches her first performance and she gives him a big hug#listen yall when i saw that comic panel of cass seeing ballet for the first time and the way it just Made Sense to her#i havent been normal since#i also just love the idea that eventually cass decides to take lessons and makes friends and learns things she'd never considered because#i think she'd be able to replicate most of the steps just by watching because of her training but she would be coming from#a background focused on martial arts and fighting and not. art and storytelling#and i'd love to see that being explored more. cass using her athletic skillset in something so unrelated to vigilante life#creating beauty instead of causing violence#clearly i've thought about this too much#if you have fic recs PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME#i haven't read a lot of comics either outside of the first half of cass' batgirl run so recs for comics abt cass welcome as well!#clarisse doodles#dc#cassandra cain#batfam#batgirl#black bat#dc fanart#ballet

Good Talia characterization and good Damian characterization can co-exist easily, they are not mutually exclusive whatsoever. Good Ra’s characterization along with good characterization for either Talia and Damian cannot coexist eight out of ten times, they are mostly mutually exclusive.
#I know that a lot of people didn’t like Robin (2021) and tbh I didn’t read after 14 but I personally loved how they handled ra’s#I think the fact that both Talia and Damian have been abused by the league is very center#central to both their characters. A well written ra’s however would not abuse his daughter and grandson.#UNLESS and this is a big stretch and a big if— unless he finds way to justify it to himself as for the greater good of what’s best for them#then it’s possible#but even that’s hard to believe#so good characterization for ra’s and Talia or Damian is mutually exclusive#one needs to be thrown under the bus and most times it’s either Talia or ra’s#which makes me really mad cuz it just feeds into the ‘Arab men are violent and abusers’ stereotype#I hate it but it’s the truth and it can’t be changed#you either gotta villanize Talia or ra’s to make things work#like all three of them are at their core compassionate. that’s the emotion that drives all three of them.#dc comics#comics#talia al ghul#ra’s al ghul#damian al ghul#Damian Wayne

Saw a post abt the Sonic movies that was like "plz filter negativity posts better" which is GOOD AND TRUE you should be doing that. Ok. But then they kept going to imply that the criticisms of the Sonic movies are all entirely Personal and Ignorable and not like. Usually abt the horrific copaganda, misogynistic writing, and Paramount's disgusting zionism.... Guys a lot of ppls problem w the Knuckles show wasn't JUST a bastardization of Knuckles' character or thinking Wade was annoying or whatever, but like was focused on the grotesque Zionist message from that one episode 😭😭😭 you can enjoy something and still recognize that it has intrinsic and huge glaring flaws and talk abt them. I think actually you Should be speaking up abt the misogyny, zionism and propaganda the SCU supports and discusses, ESPECIALLY if you like the movies! Its important to be able to recognize these things in media and admit that even media you personally enjoy can be deeply problematic, instead of hiding it away and pretending those HUGE FLAWS aren't issues actually....
#scu neg#sonic movie negative#do you guys even have a specific single tag? genuine question#scu negative#like bro you just had to say 'plz tag negativity posts better :(' you didnt have to go on a tangent abt how sonic wachowski is a perfect#little angel ...#and writing off criticism abt the movie as 'personal issues' is also just. Mean. undermining ppls genuine investment in the characters#shadow means a lot to me. his storyline js extremely powerful. ofc im disappointed they fucked it up. thats personal but it has real world#consequence. taking a character whos entire plotline is driven by an anti-militant message and who is a genuine and powerful representative#of PTSD in media and making him. Whatever He Is Now is Bad Actually. even if you think thats just a personal take it still has Real Effects#and i dont expect the scu to be a masterpiece of art. i take sonic seriously but i understand that im maybe an Exception and also that#perceptions of characters change between literally Everyone. but i think its still fine to say that i dont trust the writers to tell the#story they want to tell. they very clearly Dont understand what made adventure-era sonic so powerful in the first place and thats a valid#take even if it is 'just a personal opinion'#ok sorry for getting heated. as a board-certified PTSD haver shadow the hedgehog is important to me its like i imprinted on him as a child#like. i dont think its a stretch to assume that theyre probably going to make shadow Dull and Lame compared to his old storylines. gerald i#already so fucked up that i honestly have lost all hope this movie will have good writing. and i can Expect good writing becuz this project#is from a huge corporation that can Afford good talent and Chose to do their movies this way instead#and they were like 'you guys cant b mad that the character you like didnt show up!' when the criticism for THAT is that the scu is doing#EVERYTHING in its power to AVOID adding new and substantial female roles to the cast. rouge not being there is a larger issue besides just#Missing Her. we have 3 reoccurring women/girl characters. out of a cast of roughly 13 main characters. cant you see how disgusting that is.#i think its 13 anyway hang on. im counting wade tom sonic tails knuckles shadow eggman gerald those two gun guys. yeah#'but theyre adding another woman character!' yeah.... and shes another military official..... when we coulda had Rouge the Bat???#thats not the win you think it is.........#ig theres sonics owl mom too genuinely forgot abt her tbh#she exists only to b a mom and die tho so she isnt rlly That Great as a woman character either#and maddie exists only to b Sonics Mom and rachel only exists to be the Funny Aunt and jojo only exists to be The Girl Cousin so......#SORRY ESSAY SORRY i feel very passionately abt sonic!!!! especially in this case!!!!!!!#ok well ig maria is there too but shes also just. Uhm. Ok. Look. i love maria robotnik. but she is a Plot Device not a character. sorry#wades family dont count either becuz. well. they suck NO NO NO JUST KIDDING

just finished deltarune chapter 2. and. hey kris what the fuck
#i haven’t checked my tumblr notifs yet sorry everymeowdy#anyway. hold on let me#deltarune spoilers#OK. now i can ramble#what do you MEAN kris opened the fountain in plain sight of susie and their mom?? kris what was your fucking plan here??#i’m assuming kris is trying to either force everyone to see that they’re not the player#or is trying to gauge how good the player is at covering their tracks (to see if they’d be a worthwhile ally despite the possession? that’s#stretching it a little. maybe just to see how much they can get away with? who knows)#either way how the FUCK are we explaining this to susie?? “oh wow it looks like the knight broke into our house. damn that’s crazy”#flopposting

wow this has such majoras mask vibes! (guy who is currently playing majoras mask)
#this is about botw (an au for it)#just. if you take it as ganon hurting everyone else like hes been hurt (being trapped under tbe castle forgotten for ages and ages with nob#ody but himself and the people who trapped him directly above him. also corrupting the sheikah tech used against him (thats a stretch consi#dering the only way he was able to do that was that the king 10000 years ago was awful and buried the tech UNDER THE CASTLE while chasing t#he sheikah out)) + the eye motifs? (majoras eyes being indicators for bosses weak points and ganons malicw eyes) it just. huh#though in botw link doesnt really. well he sort of calls out to people (the champions which could be interesting for character arcs) but ot#herwise its kind of just. three people having a 2 v 1 in a ruined world that just ended up hurtinf all of them#literally nobody can turn back to what they had. not ganon in the past. not link (though i Do have feelings about pre cal link but thats al#l hcs so im not putting that here). and not zelda#and not the champions either (though the only ones grief we really see is miphas. maybe revali?)#its just. literally everything Is There Still.#the guardians. the older ruins like the forgotten temple. the great plateau#on one hand i see the destruction of the castle/monarchy great and will lead to good. but also People Died#deya village. the tabantha village. the characters couldve seen the time before the calamity as Great (even if it wasnt? it all depends! bu#t nostalgia and all that)#so. yeah.#i dunno what the thesis is here i just think its neat#also that one image i can stretch botws theme as much as i can concieve#this also gives me a fic idea. however i feel like i would be doing characters dirty in it

Oh right, it puffs up a ton with blocking, that's what it was. Normally I'd use the thicker yarn for the toe but finer fibers aside the difference in gauge is too severe for me not to have to do math and shaping if I tried that. Plus, I definitely don't have enough for two toes, and I doubt I'd get the exact same thickness on the second miniskein of this yarn. So, accent yarn. I guess it'll probably stand out better if nothing else.
#thats fine tbh#its also a good quality for the last row and bindoff yarn--i like doing that in the contrasting color and a little extra stretch#to the bind off of a sock is never a bad thing#i hate undoing bind offs that were too tight#i get it right more often than wrong for sure but every time i unpick it i have to cut the yarn repeatedly#at least with handspun it felts back together. with commercial superwash its just the worst#but thats often a weakpoint on my socks so either way i hate joining at all#anyway i often intentionally go up a needle there but bigger needle and thicker yarn would be even better and they flare anyway#knitting#handspun yarn#southdown babydoll#sock knitting

I know One Piece fandom gets called a cult and the show/manga is constantly called overrated by people who haven't seen it (including me in the past)... but it is genuinely that good. I'm so glad I gave it a shot.
#the only thing i don't like is how fights get stretched out over way too many episodes#i lose interest in them pretty quickly if they're just repeating the same beats over and over (like the fight at Baratie)#the arlong park fight was better because it had enough character vs character variety and dynamic changes to keep things interesting#arlong park put the main character in grave danger and gave the straw hats powerful and diverse opponents to fight before arlong himself#i think the fight against captain kuro was good but only because he's such a threatening and deadly presence on his own#his crew was completely forgettable and low-level whereas the fish men were all formidable opponents#and had personalities and unique fighting styles that actually challenged the straw hats#i just got through the whisky peak arc and thought it was incredibly well done as well with tight pacing and efficient fight time#the baroque works characters either gave zoro a genuine challenge or were quickly cut down and time wasn't wasted on them#plus the structured yet mysterious organization kept things interesting as various agents moved in and out of the fight#one piece

Maybe this is just me thinking everything that comes out of Joke's mouth has a double meaning, but WHAT IF he was also talking about himself in this scene?
WHAT IF, this is a reference to their mysterious history together from their freshman year? What if Joke had fallen for Zo from afar, then tried to be someone he wasn't to get close to him, but it ended up a mess (which led to the flashback scene we already saw). Then, Joke spent the next few years having to watch Zo infatuated over Nita but unable to do anything about it bcs they were not friends?
#joke in reality is just a giant soft simp#it's like khabkluen all over again#ok but this really is a bit of a stretch BUT WHAT IF#hidden agenda has me looking at the tiniest details thinking that they are hinting at something#either way tho#it's really good advice#like joke really knows what he's doing#hidden agenda#hidden agenda the series#jokezo#joongdunk#joong archen#dunk natachai

Day 11 - Run Like The Wind
"JAKE: You know those days where your legs are flapping like a hummingbird in spring and you just can't stop fidgeting no matter what you do? JAKE: Running does the trick for me! JAKE: I feel like summertime green when i blast across the island, blasting past all the little critters. JAKE: Hair flipping everywhere, wind blaring in my ears, eyes barely keeping track of what's what. JAKE: But it just doesn't matter. JAKE: I feel the most free in those moments. JAKE: No nagging friend issues. JAKE: No threat of brobot giving my noggin a bruising. JAKE: Just...pure bliss. JAKE: ...i wish you guys could join me someday.
=Thoughts=
Colouring is still a weaker point for me, but picking colours has never been much of an issue. The perceived effort of filling in my lines often drives me away, but once I get through that, flat colours are pretty simple.
When it comes to lighting and shading, however...I very much find myself very avoidant of it since it does require an effort from me, and too often it comes out confusing and not all that pleasant to me...but, as I set myself the goal of focusing on colours this daily year, I want to try and apply myself more in terms of lighting and shading.
Using a more dynamic pose means that there's a little more inspiration as far as lighting goes. Do I go with something Spring-inspired? Sunset-inspired? Or do I go with wintery colours like running through snow? Perhaps I could go dream-like instead? Half the challenge with lighting is the theming you wish to go for.
Sunset-style may have been a typical pick, but that just makes it all the better for practice. I've always used warmer colours, but making lighting work in my favour for it still takes some thought. It took a few attempts to find the colours and layer blending options that worked for me. Choosing to go cel-shading was a little unexpected though. Typical, but I kinda liked how it looked.
It's nice that I knew the tip not to use pure black or white except sparingly since it made for lighting up the shirt and shading the boots easy. I usually don't go for lighting at all, but I was feeling like practicing that in particular this time. It turned out better than I expected. By that, I mean easier and simpler. Always pleasant to feel that.
...I still gotta study hair lighting, though. Hair continues to be a weakness of mine ^^''
#homestuck#jake#jake english#year 4#art#Not gonna lie.. I really like how that writing turned out~#But aside from that it's nice when a coloured piece turns out nicely to me~ ^^#Perfect? No. Nicely? Oh definitely. Dailies are my chance to.. ironically.. stretch and draw care-free (since structure is cared for)#If there's one thing I love most about this piece? It's the hands. They just feel so /good/. Interesting that it's influenced by the#''badlydrawnjohn'' piece since the style it's based off of was loose and easy...or perhaps that's what helped it? Either way.. I like it~ ^

Third time I've seen Ebisu's death scene, but that still hurts. You can't just have his last words be "I don't want to die" and then expect me to be okay. THAT'S what I mean. The characters really affect each other. And yet even where the story is now, I really don't think Yato has any idea how much of a force for good he's already been. I don't know if he knows he's succeeded. So many characters are willing to put their lives, safety, and happiness on the line because they feel like they owe him, and I don't think he knows.
anyway if anything bad ever happens to Ebisu again I'll riot
#I really wanna make posts about 1. why Ebisu's death scene was done so much better in the manga than the anime#it was SO dragged out and I cannot think of a single good story reason why they would've added in the stupid yassification beam or whatever#actually just a post comparing the anime and manga#because I don't think the anime was bad by any stretch#HOWEVER#they changed/added/left out a couple things that were either unnecessary and slightly detrimental#and there were three separate instances I remember laughing at the anime because something was silly in a slightly out of place way#ONLY TO LATER DISCOVER THAT ALL THREE WERE NOT IN THE MAIN MANGA LOL#still think it would be interesting although I'm sure someone's done it already#oh and 2. characters and times where someone has put their life on the line for Yato#cause it happens ALL THE TIME#pickle pontificates#noragami#noragami spoilers

I’ve been thinking about Angel sex being holy and purifying. Like. You have sex with one and suddenly your dick/vagina starts glowing Ultrakill idol Style or whatever.
On one hand you could probably use this to punish sinners for seducing an Angel or whatever, on the other hand it’s extremely funny. Catch me being the human glow stick.
I am thinking of both the ferryman and V1 with this in mind. Not exactly sure what yet, but I am thinking of them.
im trying to think of how that punishes sinners (like does their dick just glow forever or.) but being a glowstick IS very funny
shaking u tho. this is brewing smth in my brain with smth else i think abt a lot. v1 having a slightly see-through pussy attachment that you could kind of see the end of if you opened up its body. it just having its entire insides lit up that you could see if you removed one of the plates from its stomach eheh
#must be a weird experience but an interesting one. you wouldnt be able to see the light from the outside since its made of metal#but you could if you opened it up.. could get a really good look at its wire insides with the light glowing inside of em#im sure the silicone wouldnt dim or distort the light either the way it'd be stretched thin enough for it to shine through.#after all that appendage is small and so is v1 in comparison to the size of a certain someone else :}#AH.A HEM. GOT CAUGHT UP.S ORRY#ask#.txt

Guys I think the writing for fire emblem engage is somehow worse than fire emblem fates. Im a longtime fire emblem fan, I've played every recent game, and this... this is just Awful lmfao
Im still having plenty of fun & I have my handful of characters I love soooo much. But God fucking damn this writing is just some of the worst I've ever seen in a game
(Major spoilers in tags. Ran out of tags so I can't spoiler tag hfkshfj.
Final conclusion (since I ran out of tags): What Even Is This Fucking Game. Definitely my least favorite fire emblem game in many respects, but By God I'm going to finish this bitch and I'm gonna have plenty of fun as I do so. And I'm also going to make fun of every narrative choice it makes along the way bc the writing in this game is just SO fucking bad holy shit. I just need to finish this game and get on with my life already. God fuckin damn.)
#speculation nation#ive been critical of it from the start. bc it really isnt good. tho ive softened in some respects#it's plenty of fun thankfully. i enjoy the battle system a lot & the maps can be challenging in a fun way#but the moment i stop to think about Anything it all just feels so ridiculous#there have been a few moments it's surprised me. plot twists that were Almost cool.#but most of the time it's just throwing a bunch of shit out of left field at me and expecting me to be invested (im not)#so it's like. the 'plot twists' are either things i saw coming from a mile away OR things that r just so fucking insane it's not satisfying#like. the game saying 'oh man this thing you need to get to is at the bottom of this biiiig frozen lake! however will you get there?'#'how about... you trust the woman who has been an antagonist THE ENTIRE GAME UP UNTIL NOW to be telling the truth & to be helping u'#'heres a magic item she used the rest of her life to make! how sad! dont you feel bad for her? she wanted to be a mother!'#'no dont think about all the times she hit your little sister :) she feels bad about it so it's obviously ok actually :)'#'anyways take her magic item. itll get you to the bottom of the lake. how you ask? underwater breathing? PHHHSH'#'NAH your ass is going a thousand years into the past to break this thing b4 it fell into the lake OH ALSO you meet your past self#from when you were evil. good luck! :)'#im. not making any of this up. im not making ANY of this up and i really wish i was.#i was just rubbing my temples for that entire stretch of story it's so fucking stupid.#i think one of the most interesting things it did from a narrative standpoint was take away the rings 12 chapters in#so you hit rock bottom and have to crawl your way back out with the help of some unexpected allies#like. yea that's interesting. EXCEPT from a GAMEPLAY standpoint it's one of my least favorite fucking things in the game#you get used to this set of mechanics but halfway through you have to switch gears to an entirely different set of mechanics#and by the time you finally get everything back & ur army is full and whole. the game is almost over.#itd like that narrative choice SO MUCH MORE if it didnt set me back in such a major way & restrict total gameplay access to the End#every game has a slow trickle in of new characters so you dont have everyone until later in but EVEN THEN#you generally have everyone by 2/3rds way thru the game. then the last third you pick ur favs and u train them for the end#in this game. you dont get everyone until fucking chapter 23 of 26. my army is full and veyle is such a delight to have#but i only got her in CHAPTER. FUCKING. TWENTY THREE OF TWENTY SIX.#i just finished chapter 25. im nearly at the end. i love my main army but it feels like ive barely gotten to know them as a whole#bc it only finally formed TWO CHAPTERS AGO.#im just. god this game is so frustrating in a way ive NEVER experienced before. and ive played a lot of games!!!!!#like dont get me wrong im still having fun with it. i love a lot of the characters and the gameplay (now that i HAVE all of it) is So fun

So does anyone else who ordered the newest batch of folklore cardigans have ridiculously too big sleeves? They are huge. I starting to think those who have folklore cardigans that somewhat fit in that area must have the pandemic OG one or really good dupes.
#I don’t have thin arms#I triple checked it’s xs on tag sticker on bag and label#yet it def looks like not that#I don’t know where people are getting ones that fit#or the kids who have very accurate folklore cardigans where you buying from#I think the folks I saw with baggy arm cardigans had the ones form her site or maybe the newest batch#and ppl who had ones that fit either have the OG or really good dupes#I know her merch sizing is so inconsistent so it’s hard to know#even my mom said it looks like they sent the wrong size but it’s got my size on label#it’s super baggy in the neck too and doesn’t look that way on others#but I swear I could fit my thigh in the sleeves and I’m not thin#just short#I don’t hang mine and it’s massive and looks stretched#only worn once
