the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"
#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility#but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion#that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone#i am an environmental educator#so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering#that people are going through#without doing my research and providing real ways to help#this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning#to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering#unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this#and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this#and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity#(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself#for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion#i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out#rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free#is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i#which is more than their CEOs can say

I've been asked a few times now, if these kinds of illustrations are traditional or digital. it's both <: The inks are traditional, made with 03 or 05 micron pen.
Then I take it to Clip Studio. Paint-bucket and basic brushes are used for big blocks of color and some preliminary details.
Brushes: Dense Watercolor, Transparent Watercolor, India Ink Darker Bleed, Bit Husky, G-pen, Milli Pen, Cross hatching texture brush. Blend: Running Color On Fiber
Somewhere in there, I'll pick up a free-to-use watercolor texture and set it on overlay, to see how it meshes with the values I already sketched in. I'll finish up the rest of the smaller details/values with the same above brushes. And voila.
Hope that's helpful <:
#art#art tutorial#dragon#I really enjoy this method because I find inking traditionally more fun than doing it digitally#And meanwhile#I find coloring digitally very fun and fast#Getting a pleasing result very efficiently has been super rewarding to me with this style#it's why I've been doing it so much lately#step-by-step#dragons#dragon art

4 + klonnie, esp if in a TO rewrite! 💞
4 ⧽. kissing in the middle of an argument.
THIS IS SOOOO GAGGY EXACTLLYYY OMG
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched TO so bare with me 🙏🏽
—
New Orleans had become Bonnie Bennett’s home. The last time she’d considered a place home, her grandmother had been alive. It was a long time since then, but she finally felt like she found a place she truly belonged. Naturally, she was absolutely livid about being asked to leave.
“No! Klaus, I am not going anywhere.”
It was pure misfortune that Klaus Mikaelson remained unearthly beautiful even in the fits of rage he currently displayed.
“It’s not up for discussion, little witch.”
He hadn’t lost it, not yet, but she could see the anger burning brightly behind his dark blue eyes.
“The hell it isn’t! You know how important it is for me to be here. The witches, the coven, all of it. I can handle anything that comes my way.”
His laugh was harsh, sardonic.
“Really? Anything? Tell me, darling, can you handle armies of witches, vampires, and werewolves, all coming, ready to tear you limb from limb? Can you handle a relentless onslaught from them at all hours of the day and night, the manifestations of their hatred and hunger for power? Can you handle your so-called old friends returning and joining them, facing off against you because of where you align yourself now? Tell me, my dearest Bonnie, truly, can you handle it?”
“Yes I can!”
She didn’t care that she was shouting now. It felt good to shout, to scream out her emotions. Mystic Falls never gave her enough space to breathe. In New Orleans, she could scream her lungs out and keep coming up for air after if she wished to.
“Just because you don’t care for your own life does not mean others share the sentiment!”
He was shouting too now, and some sick, twisted part of her enjoyed it. She enjoyed the fact that she could anger the Hybrid King, that she alone could produce such heightened emotions from him. Maybe that’s why she’d come closer with every word, and why she held herself so straight as she neared him, yelling out, “Enlighten me, then! What exactly do you care for?”
Klaus’s gaze lit itself on fire. Bonnie’s eyes widened. His hands came up to her face, he pulled her in, and kissed her. She was frozen in shock for a single second. Then, she kissed him back with everything she had in her, clutching him as close as she could to her. They broke apart but he kept her flush against him, his forehead touching hers lightly.
“I’m staying,” Bonnie whispered, “I’m not going anywhere. Not without you.”
“Bonnie — ” Klaus murmured, strained.
“No. We rule here. They will not chase us out.” She took his hand carefully, placing it between them to rest on her stomach. His fingers caressed the fabric, brushing back and forth over it.
“If they come for one of us, they are coming for all of us now.” She felt his sigh stir her hair, his palm flattening out against her belly.
“Then we will raze them all to the ground.”
That smile she loved, maniacal and bloodthirsty, rose into his lips.
Her own followed with it.
#klonnie#klaus mikaelson#bonnie bennett#otp: king and queen of New Orleans#tvd#to#klaus x bonnie#bonnie x klaus#mj (not watson)#k writes#i told y’all i’d be back to feed you 😁#we played fast and loose with characterization so forgive me if anything is off#depending on the results of the poll this may or may not make it into a full fic#or you could always drop into my inbox about them 🥰 js!#anyways#there will definitely be more for them from me soon!

⬆️ The MAIN REASON why I watched the show ⬆️
And I personally feel like something similar happened here to what happened with TFA and TFP Ratchet? Ya know the quote "This version walked so this other version could run"? Because I respect and enjoy TFA Swindle a lot but this one forged enough charm and even surpassed it in his own way? Idk Idk pretty pretty con man bot and super entertaining to watch! Luv him to bits 💜
#myart#maccadam#transformers earthspark#earthspark swindle#transformers swindle#es swindle#ifellinrobothellagain#older sketch i used to keep practicing this fast watercolor style!#i loved the result AAA gotta try it more later x)#even if ES (at least S1) did things good here and there#and i supported the integration of new characters and a more soft edutainment approach of the brand#i admit i kept tabs on it thanks to this rascal more than anything lol#i love LOVE what they did with this new interpretation#a streetwise and active con man swindle fits his personality a lot#and now tfa feels more like a veteran that prefers to plot on the sidelines but hey the more flavors for a character#the better#im personally taking this one please and thank you#OH and i tried something different with the eyes just for fun

have you ever seen a drizzile get startled and suddenly bolt across a lake or river? or watched a trainer send their ace inteleon sprinting across a body of water to battle a wild pokémon? if you live in the galar region or visited the blueberry academy’s terrarium, you’ve probably observed exactly that. and you’ve probably thought to yourself, how in arceus’ name do they do that?
the answer lies in two things: fringes on the bottom of their long hind toes and speed. inteleon and drizzile are extremely fast moving (inteleon can run in bursts reaching up to 70 mph, or 112.65 kph for you non-unovians) and they have to be, because unlike insect pokémon that are light enough to rely on surface tension to skate across water, inteleon and drizzile rely on momentary air pockets created by their toes. when an inteleon or drizzile’s foot slaps against the water, the specialized skin on its toes unfurls, creating more surface area and trapping a brief bubble that they can use to stay atop the surface for a short sprint.
interestingly, this miraculous behavior isn’t found in sobble, which have yet to develop the speed and specialized flaps necessarily to pull it off. instead, sobble rely primarily on camouflage to protect themselves. some speculate that this is due to sobble living a more arboreal lifestyle than the later stages of life and spending less time near the surface of lakes and rivers in the first place. it’s also less common in drizzile than in inteleon, as drizzile haven’t reached full adult size and still maintain some of the juvenile behaviors of sobble, like avoiding outright battles with predators or prey.
#[the 70mph was based on a google result for how fast humans would have to run to run on water.]#[i was going to do the math myself but then i remembered that i have a learning disability and can’t fucking do that shit.]#pokémon#pkmn irl#.txt#drizzile#sobble#inteleon

Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).
He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.
And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.
No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.
Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)
He needs to be quick.
Efficient.
Perfect.
And so he comes and goes like the wind.
Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.
Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.
He'd rather he never be late ever again.
It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...
.
.
.
" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.
"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.
Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.
He imagines hearing a clock ticking.
Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?
Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.
#kaeyachi randoms#kaeya#kaeya alberich#this is actually shorter than it originally was can yall believe?#kaeya with anxiety truther there i said it#kaeya cant stand being IDLE#get it? get it?#you see that is a play of words in reference to when he is stood idle on our screens. he is one of the more verbally impatient characters#and we also see it reflected on his actions both in fighting and at work. he has a speed boost bonus and if he isnt teleporting he is#actually moving so fast that he seems like it. this is what i also concluded that results him in large amounts of free time that only amber#seemed to be hardpressed about. the people of mondstadt find him reliable and approachable despite the lax attitude and frequent nights at#angels share. we also had lore tidbits before of kaeya straight up saying he finished all his work and jean saying that he also did the#backlogged ones. It is actually insane that we hear him relaxing frequently and i bet its not because of the lack of horses COZ LOOK AT HOW#BUSY THE OTHER CAPTAINS ARE. Also id like to think that he is a toned down noelle and that is why jean told him to watch over her training#give us noelle and kaeya interactions pls i kinda need it tbh#to all those that reached this far into the notes i actually have more to say so get ready#if it wasnt clear the only day he was late was when crepus died. everything fell apart for him that day so i can see some obsessive need to#just keep running around and doing things as efficient as possible. I also think that he found the knights slow and inefficient in several#occasions and he is willing to put them in the line of fire just to get their hearts pumping with adrenaline (and fear lol). idk kaeya is#just so anxiety-coded. impatience-core. Mr. dont waste my time type of guy. and also wow look i found a way to make his idles become angst#silly me ehe#oh youre still here? how about i tell you that kaeya-efficiency-alberich probably knows where everyone is at any time of the day?#can we honestly please give him more free time i need more of him tbh#fun reminder that bro is working around 3-4 jobs casually lmao#i also just realized that the notes is a whole nother post on its own#AND THE ACTUAL FUNNY PART IS I CAN STILL ELABORATE MORE ON THIS LMAO#wait let me add this one tiny idea too but he thinks time is so valuable. bro lost 2 dads and lost time with his bro + he significantly#lessened his time at dawn winery for quite some time. i can see why he is extroverted now.

waiit what do you mean noel's "brush with suicide"?? 😭 omg
it's more extrapolation than anything truly concrete, but he had a pretty nasty breakdown after the infamous meth incident gig at the whiskey a go go in LA, wrote a dire emotional note of some kind to liam, quit the band, ran away to another city without telling anyone, hid out with a girl he'd just met for a few weeks, came out the other side with a shaved head and a painfully sad beautiful song, and to this day claims to not really remember anything about the whole incident (probably a lie, but who knows). obvs we don't know exactly what sort of severity of emotional distress was going on that whole time, but it seemed pretty extreme, significantly worse than at any other point in his public life, and liam in particular was very upset and scared by his behaviour and worried for his wellbeing. it might or might not be true to say he was suicidal but he sure was having a rough time and there was a real element, in other people's description of his behaviour and speech afterwards, of wanting to quit/end/run away from everything
#poor lad was Goin Through It#communiques#he also one time entirely unprompted said 'i wasn't suicidal or anything!' about it#but in that sort of way that smacked a little of protesting too much/deflecting#aka a tactic he uses a LOT (with varying results lol) when anyone gets too close to touching on one of his tender subjects#but he's a peppy fella by nature and seemed to bounce back p fast either way#not sleeping for three days will do shit to a bitch <3

#me when i want to get a berry in the late game in gen 8#it's like. i never really learned the cues for when this thing was about to fall out of the tree#apparently there Were supposed to be cues‚ and you were Supposed to be able to tell based on how fast it was shaking and whatever#but none of that ever clicked for me i guess because i felt like it was always different how fast it was shaking when greedent fell out??#so i just guessed every time. which probably resulted in me getting way fewer berries than i reasonably could have in that playthrough#greedent
