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 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

Survivorship bias
#have you ever wondered. if esper children are really THAT rare or claw just didn't take long to get the unprepared/obvious ones#teru fought hard to be the exception after all#+ claw exists for 20 years...#the organization must have hunted down people for a long time#didn't anyone find it strange how kid espers kept disappearing; or people did and couldn't do anything about it#did their families ever get closure for what happened? what did claw do to these children?#those who were still alive? what did they do in claw? what did they do after the organization ended? what about those who never came back?#its so interesting and I don't see enough people talking about this#mp100#mob psycho 100#mp100 fanart#teruki hanazawa#mp100 claw#lalarts

#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

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'

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

#durarara#izaya orihara#shizuo heiwajima#shizaya#a cheap imitation#i made a thing#back with more aci posting!!#for chapters 39 and 40#i didn't draw the second one though#my good friend @eriunleashed on twitter helped me out with that one#i came up with the concept and thumbnail for it myself though#most of it was there#except for the positioning of the hands#erica put a little of that artistic rizz on 'em thanks eri <3#i don't think she drew it with a full understanding of what i intended for it so the way it worked out is great :)#after she left me with the lines and some flats i went ahead and played around with the colours myself#to try and sell the kinda vibe i wanted to convey#i even took a picture of the coloured art on my screen to give it that extra oomph#isn't it cool??#i thought i was big braining#please someone get it 🙏#i love the photo snapping scene btw#it's sooooo cute#wrhghghhghh they are so !!#izaya's the silliest....#and shizuo is so <3333#ugh#i spent soooo many long arduous hours trying to figure out his hair in that one#i REFUSED to just let him be ugly like my friend so unhelpfully suggested#i really like how soft he turned out in the end 🥺

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

Okay I saw more of your art and had to come back (if it’s okay)
Maybe this time….King Marty? Like in a kings outfit with the septor
and crown and stuff? Idk
no problem at all! i'm just happy you enjoy :D
anyone with any remote knowledge of historical dress from any vague period or region please avert your eyes.
#im having a real doc brown crude model moment here over the fit LMAO.#marty mcfly#bttf fanart#bttf#back to the future#not Exactly what you asked for? i could not bear to draw the fancy stick alas. and it's more of a prince vibe than a king vibe#bc if this guy held any sort of significant position of power something would combust#ik it's a silly doodle but of course i gotta make up some context bc that's part of the fun. YAP SESSION WARNING#i was thinking that doc and marty were dicking around somewhere in a place and period of time with a monarchy. for Science#and for one reason or another he ends up getting mistaken for royalty or something. may or may not be related to how straight his teeth are#so they drag his ass back to the palace and marty has No Fucking Clue what's happening. meanwhile doc is on the verge of a stroke#i think it would be really funny if some princess got infatuated with marty and now he has the plot of the first movie on his hands again#except instead of him ceasing to exist it's like. the entire history of a country#so doc's trying to get him out of there and marty's trying to let this chick down gently bc he doesn't want her to like. kill him or smth#and also there's probably a tannen thrown in there too bc why the hell not#i don't even like royalty aus that much for this fandom but somehow i've got a decent amount of thoughts about this LMAO.#you asked for a silly doodle and somehow it came with a whole fic idea too. whoops#anyone want to take this idea and run with it feel free to#kit does an art#kit yap session#<- bc of the sheer amount of tag on this

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

the earth wont keep me long
#my art#dnd#oc#dnd oc#this one came a long way! have fun watching me change my mind 5 times per minute#oh and the plant brushes used for the background are from devin elle kurtz's grass and fields brushpack#i hate using stamp brushes but this pack is the exception. this is the one. it is so so easy to just use as a stencil to paint over#also also. narrative context is that this is my favorite pc who died but got dug up and brought back centuries later#if u remember the piece about the 5 dressing rooms before a wedding. this is the same pc from that only all grown up and also dead#see if u can tell which one it is from that group :)

god Mr. Heartland is such an insane yugioh character, I love him so fucking much. He’s so SO funny. He’s like if Maximillion Pegasus had political authority and actually WAS like 42 and then also ended up working for Satan From the Bible. He was taking children in off the streets and training them in underground duel Endurance Rooms until they dropped and he did this for YEARS and nobody stopped him. He fell in a portal and went to Hell. He got turned into a fly by an alien teenager who was also his boss. The city he was mayor of thought he was dead so they built a gigantic memorial in his honor. He became one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He’s part alien-bug monster. He looks like a yassified businessman half the time.
he’s great
#yugioh zexal#ygo posting#LOVE when yugioh brings out a weird gay middle aged man and THIS ONE'S got a funky fly and insect motif#he got lit on fire. 99% of the core cast came back except for him. he died For Real.#he dueled a main character so hard the guy's eyes were permanently fucked up#'oh i love lovecore character' well CHECK THIS OUT
