One of my favorite things to do on calls with friends and family is to needle them about how nice my weather is right now while they are freezing their asses off and fighting over folding chairs marking dug out parking spots.

#in my town when it snowed and you had to dig your car out that was parallel parked on the street #It was a lot of work. It sucked. And you had to do it. no matter how old or infirmer handicapped you were.#everyone has to eat. eventually. you have to get groceries to go to the doctor. get your meds refilled. go to church #whatever. eventually you have to take out that car.#so people felt kind of protective of the spot they dug out and came back home later today to find one of the neighbors stole their spot #instead of digging their own out #I kid you not people would go and park their cars at friends houses out side the city before snow #because then they wouldn't have to take their cars out #and normally I'd say hey that's pretty cool #except the one they came back #They almost never dug out a spot for themselves #They just drove around and looked for an empty one #math comes into play here and they just added a car to the equation that wasn't in the neighborhood before #So now there is more car than dug out spots #so people feel some kind of way about the spot they spent all day digging out only to come home with their medicine or groceries or whatever #and find a f****** Lexus parked in your spot #thus was born the invention of the folding chair.#it took up the parking space and declared to the world this is mine #and most people respected it #plus the folding chair was a hassle to get and you would get hasseled for touching it #ph4wg #ph4wg original

I have never been more concerned for a JP update from your art than I am seeing a Cheka knowing the context of Leona’s dream.

I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji

#mdzs #mo dao zu shi #wangxian #idk man- i just see a lot of “Lan Wangji has always been protecting Wei Wuxian” posts and its like...#I mean... Lan Wangji has always certainly been trying to protect Wei Wuxian #it took him a long time to figure how to successfully do that though #rereading the books rn and noticing theres a lot of instances that could be read as lwj being frustrated over his inability to protect wwx #like he seemed ready to cry when wwx went missing for a while and then came back with the cursed leg #lwj has always been great at protecting wwx from physical threats (ex: waterborn abyss) but had no idea how to protect him from himself #meanwhile wwx has always been instictually good at saving lwj from both #like I'm 100% lwj would've become like Jiang Cheng if wwx hadn't snapped him out of the blindly following authority thing #and also like... 15 y/o lwj wasnt happy with his life. he was lonely and stressed and literally signing up to be flogged whenever he goofed #wwx is who allowed lwj to grow up by showing him what it was like to actually be a kid (shown in story whenever lwj gets drunk)#he led lwj to having a more flexible mindset. and it both let lwj relax and set lwj up to be a better parent #looking into lwj's dynamic with the juniors- he lets them break a fuck ton of the petty rules and encourages them to question authority #he also teaches them to not be married to any one meathod of problem solving #wwx is also able to save lwj from his own stubbornness #ex: carrying lwj when he broke his leg. getting lwj to cough up bad blood. getting lwj to keep the rabbits #wwx also tends to give lwj the words he has trouble saying himself. helps him communicate #wwx also protects lwj in fights a lot but thats narratively less important #except the various times wwx puts himself in danger to help lwj. those times are what made it so lwj could never move on from wwx #like with the cave incident #or when wwx helped surpress the arm instead of using the chaos to escape cloud recesses #tldr i guess: i think this fandom tends to treat lwj being the best like its natural to him when really wwx accidentaly rewired his brain #I'm looking directly at fanfic writers who act like the Lans would've treated wwx better than the Jiangs #lwj had to do so much work and self reflection post meeting wwx to be the way he is. he is not the sole product of the Lan teachings

braixen

(request)

#my art #pokemon #braixen #pkmn #starter pokemon #YAAAAY only took like 8 days working on off and on WHBDFJKHGB i reworked the pose a bunch #and im really happy with how it came out!!! i may have gone overboard with the shading but thats ok bc i had fun #when i was trying to figure out the fire i accidentally deleted the lining and i did not notice that i did that. so when i went to see if i #could get it back. i could not. so i had to redo the lining HAHA really annoying but its ok bc i still had the sketch and the coloring #using this as a segue to talk about my delphox lucky. my first non handmedown pokemon game was x #so it was a really big deal for me right. i was ten. i picked fennekin [i usually go for the grass starters but fennekin is one of the #exceptions to this] and to my delight my fennekin was a female. and to me that was the luckiest thing ever so i obviously named her lucky #i got her to max happiness and she was the first pokemon i leveled up to lvl 100 without cheating #the fennekin line will always have a soft spot in my heart and i will always include a female delphox named lucky in my dream team lineup

#kabuto #okay. i'm gonna admit something. pokémon rby came out before i was born. right #pokémon is 5 years older than me. so gen 1 is not a generation that i was intimately familiar with until later on in my life #to me‚ gen 3 is the real gen 1. so i got into other things before i really got into pokémon #and especially before i really got Back into pokémon later on in adulthood #which is to say. i got into naruto. before i really got back into pokémon. as a kid #and thus. this thing's name. makes no sense to me. except through the lens of that one naruto character #with the knife hands. so. i don't know what this thing is #why both gen 1 fossils are water-types #or what this thing's name means #nor did i know that it apparently has two sets of eyes. or. at least looks like it does #i dunno if this is a bellibolt situation but you look under the cut and tell me. i only knew about the red ones

hey so you guys ever think about how master chief nearly inserted the index into the core and pulled the plug on all sentient life in the entire galaxy? you ever think about how he thought it was the right thing right up until cortana told him it wasn't? you ever think about how he stood there realising the fact he nearly killed all the people he would have died to protect? you ever think? you ever think??? you ever think????????

#this is a man so used to taking orders #sure he knows how to disobey them #we see that happen several times #but he never really gets out of that mindset of being a weapon #of being a machine #of not being the one to think #he left without one ai to depend upon and came back with another #only that the new one didn't have such good intentions #halo #halo combat evolved #halo ce #master chief #john-117 #you'll have to forgive me if this is out of character #because i have very niche feelings on john #he's such an emotional character #'spartans don't cry. spartans don't feel'#except he feels everything. all the time. on behalf of everybody in the entire world #he fights and fights and feels everybody's agonies a thousand times over. then he feels his own

Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.

Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen

A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death

#hellsing #alucard #kouta hirano #translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent #fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online #i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands #the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake #anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool #if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first #and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf #i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia #then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point #but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page #and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh #the hellsing brainrot runs deep #also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491 #except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo #the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002 #which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch #sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less #it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was #maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

would i be considered a lunatic if i said that horror's story could be read as a parallel for SA. Hear Me Out: (obviously be careful for reading this bc like,,, sensitive topic)

i feel like the largest parallel could be the actual event of getting his eye taken. a part of his body is "taken" and literally or metaphorically horror was pinned down and forced to give up his body (even worse considering that a literal part of him was PULLED out with a foreign object designed solely to hurt HIM SPECIFICALLY). it's digusting and horror claws and fights his way out to prevent it but unfortunately it still ends up happening no matter what he could've done. no matter how many backup plans or extra contibutions or begging or fighting he did. which like. sounds honestly pretty simple to the reality of victims of SA. that hopelessness of knowing that even if you did as much as you could, covering up, devoting yourself to a life of chastity, not hanging with people like thay, there's still a chance that something bad could happen and all of a sudden everyone's out to get you and how could they just stand by and do NOTHING while you were left to suffer and defend yourself

which leads onto the next point i wanna bring up which is horror's rage immediately after getting his eye stolen. his anger at the betrayal is (very justified my boy did nothing to deserve this) solely about him and his bodily autonomy. undyne (and alphys ig,,,,) couldn't consider ANY other possible solution than to deprive him of his autonomy and decide to just take what they wanted from his body??? AND THE FACT THAT ALPHYS SAID THAT HE MIGHT AGREE TO GIVING UP HIS EYE? it's giving very much so "oh it'll feel good so don't worry" type shit or whatever (horrortale alphys i DONT like you). a betrayal at the hands of someone you trusted a lot about your bodily autonomy? it just gives off that sort of parallel

and the sheer anger and fury that horror felt and enacted on alphys and undyne and everyone else at the CORE just like DUDE. that is a type of anger that only comes out when you've been deeply wronged. sometimes when a horrific experience like getting SAed happens you just wanna explode and drag down everyone around you and ESPECIALLY the perpetrators no matter how much you rationalize. you can have as many people as you want try to convince you that revenge and being hateful isnt the way but it doesn't matter because they havent been wronged the way youve been. horror deserved to be that cruel because undyne and alphys were just as cruel back to him, so he'll be the same and return it 10fold (he probably wasnt even out of bones when he decided to turn them into chips he just wanted to make it a point that he didn't even need to use his full strength to hurt the guards. horror could've EASILY killed alphys but no he wanted it to hurt for her so she could live a life of eternal suffering and fall to her lowest and to ESPECIALLY hurt undyne. because they deserve to suffer just as much as he did if not more for the crime commited against him)

a betrayal as bad as alphys's is only worsened when she tells him that she doesnt regret a single thing about using him for the underground. that has to be the single most infuriating thing for horror to hear because WHAT DO YOU MEAN alphys doesn't regret a thing? that's exactly what some people gloat about after doing terrible things; they try to sweep it under the rug as nothing that bad or justify it OR JUST STRAIGHT UP ADMIT IT!!! nah horrortale alphys deserved to suffer idc

and back onto that feeling of wanting to kick and scream and drag everyone else down with you after being left so used and betrayed due to getting SAed: i know it was bad that horror tricked snowdin into eating humans it was TERRIBLY BAD but really horror was just operating on anger and spite and the need for vengeance. nobody in snowdin ever did anything to hurt him (and i'm sure horror knows that considering he definitely regrets what he did) but to him maybe they also should feel the pain he feels so they can all relate. so that they can't try and fight against him when he says his side of the story and say that undyne was right with what she did. that maybe he wouldn't feel so absolutely devastated after what happened if he saw everyone around him suffering too, and maybe JUST MAYBE he'd get a bit of something back from his sacrifice that he never consented to

i KNOW i'm not reaching with this but idk if i phrased it the best. but to me horror's story really does genuinely parallel to one of an SA survivor's: the betrayal, the anger, the feeling of loneliness and isolation and just feeling absolutely used for a simple thing as your body. chapter 4 of horrortale really is amazing storytelling and so is horror (he was reasonable in what he did IDC WHAT ANYONE SAYS he might be WRONG but it was reasonable. i love horror sans)

#i'm sorry if this is like kinda not srs enough for this topic just know that this came from a place of genuine relation to horror #his story resonates a lot to me about my own personal experiences and the anger and betrayal i felt myself #and i just wanted to point out the similarities i saw 🙁#i think that maybe even without realizing it that he might feel replused at sex and especially the intimacy part #touching his eye socket or head wound is like reliving the entire situation over again and he does NOT WANT THAT AT ALL #its a part of his body that he cant just get rid of because it's necessary which SUCKS #the snarkiness that horror has against undyne even after 7 years is so real #you NEVER forgive your abuser in that situation. i know damn well that the grudge will continue to last on for many more years to come #one day horror and undyne might be able to make up and coexist but horror wont ever be able to TRULY forgive her #a part of you changes viscerally for the worse when you go through something so traumatic #and i think horror's outburst fits that change a lot. it seems almost sudden how quickly he goes from sans to horror #and even though he was still spiralling before the CORE he probably wouldn't have changed so drastically without a betrayal THIS bad #he better get the BEST potential ending in horrortale or else i will RIOT #if aliza doesnt save horrortale and give them all the freedom they DESPERATELY NEED #SAS pls SAS pls don't doom them even more than they already are thats all i need #this metaphor is made even worse with my idea that killer or dust pull him around by the eye or skull #probably not dust (when he's calm (when he's not all boundaries get thrown out the window)#but with killer probably. he doesn't particularly care about what horror wants or keeps to himself #if it gets a barely amusing reaction then sure whatever. horror gets unreasonably pissed anyway for someone who just got his eye taken #in fights they could make it a point to hold onto his skull near the eyewound as tightly as possible #just to make it HURT. dust wants horror to remember him with as much hate as he does for undyne #killer does it to get him to remember that moment except this time no he can't fight back. just to keep him in line #it sucks i know but this trio was never truly made to improve eachother. they were made to drag eachother down worse than they already are #tricule analyze #killer sans #horror sans #dust sans #murder time trio #utmv

FINALLY got the designs of the canon iterators nailed down. credit to @/poppy-purpura for the inspo with purple sig! it has nestled itself into my brain and will not leave. please. someone send help. it's tearing up the blankets.

i've also been playing with features of medibang and using ancient digital coloring tutorials so the colors i initially used got warped. below the cut are my colors and the sketchbook sketch that inspired this!

#doodlie!#rain world #looks to the moon #five pebbles #no significant harassment #seven red suns #from the lynx herself #october 8th #i drew moon and pebbs back in february with a more solidified design #but that ive drawn all of em (except suns) multiple times #i like these designs now!#fun fact for personal design lore #moon got the cute scarfbow thing after sig told her shed look cute with a scarf #and so she was gifted one by her citizens #and it became so iconic that when pebbles outfit was designed they made him a scarf similar to hers #but originally his shawl was red like hers #because hes merely “an extension of her”#“his big sisters life support” and all that nasty business #the cyan shawl came about later #one of his requests for artificer was to fetch him this shawl that one of his citizens had made but couldnt deliver before mass ascension #and she only did about half the job before mysteriously disappearing #rivulet found it later and gave it to him before taking the rarefaction cell to moon #read into that how you will :D

Almost forgot to look at the tags in that Giordano post, I'm glad that Cardinals being higher than Archbishops was something you mentioned, and that I was remem that fact correctly :). And I love that Machete surpasses someone who thought him to be a "good for nothing". Go white boy go!

.

#that sure pissed off that old man Giordano #didn't see that one coming #becoming a bishop is a very big deal #archbishop is an extra prestigious bishop that leads a particularly important diocese #and above both are cardinals #you usually have to be a bishop first to become one but it hasn't always been strictly mandatory there's lots of rules and exceptions #I think Machete is a bishop but largely in name only #in practice he kind of shortcutted from being a priest to a cardinal with very little bishophood in between #Vatican was kind of a wild west back then and in the end it's within Pope's power to grant these titles however he sees fit #and Machete was Pope's trusted personal assistant for years #moreover if you compare church ranks to secular royalty/nobility cardinals are equal to princes #so when you look at the power dynamics they're only second to pope as well as actual kings and queens #at least that's the case in Machete and Vasco's times I'm not sure about the present day #Vasco is a count so he's actually significantly lower in the hierarchy despite being blue-blooded #but neither of them have really internalized that #when they met Vasco came from a rich family and Machete was a no-name social climber #answered #anonymous

Dp x dc idea 166

Danny is under attack. The turkeys in amity have all come to life. All gunning for him. Of course. Clearly he does the only thing rational and has a full out food war.

Just not in amity.

He moved it to space. Better views and less people in danger of the great turkey war.

Honestly… is it actually his fault? All he did was blow up a turkey. It’s not his problem it exploded on Superman.

#dpxdc #Danny blows up the turkey #it splatters on Clark #Danny is taking his rage out on amity’s turkeys #they all came to life from the ecto levels #except sams vegan turkey #that one #only one to not come back to life and attack #clark had been leaving the station on his way to ma and pa #probably #idk #Superman meets Danny who is angry #Danny just wants food that won’t try and kill hom
