#felt like RAMBLING

[darlingsoftie]

I was traveling in a plane over the holidays and when I went through tsa I was the sweatiest person in the airport because it's the most exercise I had gotten in 6 months to walk from the car to the tsa line.

Anyway when I got to the choose your gender machine they clicked the pink button that doesn't account for dicks and the lady made me go in again and still wasn't satisfied so I'm like gotcha, time to get felt up👍except this dude walks up to me and lightly touches my arms and hips and tells me to be on my way lmao

So idk if my girl smell provided a protective barrier to getting a hand job or they just suck at this. Also yes it's a tight squeeze fitting in the plane.

the urge some DC writers have to make bruce and dick’s early relationship extremely distant and cold while also trying to assure us that they are still totally father&son energy is so baffling to me.

i watched bad blood (with @heart-bones !) the other day and have been thinking about dick’s dialogue a lot. dick basically had nothing nice to say about bruce. he said growing up with him was LONELY. he said he did not even really know bruce (????).

but then at the climax he tells him he’s the best man he’s ever known (while having a gun to his head so that’s convincing). so, what? you don’t know him when it’s time to be angsty but you DO when it’s the emotional climax? were you lying one of those instances?

why does it feel like this happens so often with them now… trying to hammer home that dick was miserable and lonely and could never understand bruce and bruce was annoyed by him and his puns and all this crap. why do they want to make bruce neglectful of young dick? it’s like they can’t comprehend that dick can still have issues with bruce even if bruce wasn’t neglectful. that bruce had to be cold and detached and absent for dick to want to distance himself from him when that’s such a copout idk!!!

Put on a smile, he tells himself.

He should be happy, as Chat Noir. Hawmoth/Shadowmoth/Monarch is gone, taking his reign of terror with him. Even if he hadn't gotten to stand by his partner's side for the final battle like they'd always planned, it had all still worked out, in the end.

(Were they even really still partners, anymore? Well, they were partners, but were they still... important to each other? They weren't on their own anymore, they both had significant others, Ladybug had made no mention of revealing themselves to each other like they'd always planned to; it wasn't you and me against the world anymore. So what were they?)

(She'd never even told him who Hawkmoth turned out to be. Not that it mattered, anymore; he probably wouldn't have known him anyway.)

He should be... well, maybe not happy, but content, as Adrien. He'd hated his father in those last moments, with a fiery passion, so shouldn't he be glad that he's gone? That he can finally live his own life?

And his dad... his father... Gabriel Agreste was a hero. Which... shouldn't that be good? Even if he wasn't a hero to him, at least he'd died in a way that benefited others, so Adrien should be proud, right?

He's supposed to be smiling. Everyone seems to expect it from him, anyway.

He sees it in the way Felix and Ladybug whisper to each other after patrols, in on some secret that he's not. The way Marinette and Alya glance at him pityingly when they think he's not looking. Like they all know how cruel the situation was for him, but none of them want to say it. Like he's just blissfully unaware, like "oh, yeah, my dad was the worst, but he died a hero so it's all fine now!" and none of them want to burst his bubble.

Everything twists up instead of him, a tangled web of mixed emotions that he can't see what they're attached to, can't see what's causing them. Hopelessly tangled, beyond hope of clearing up.

So instead he just picks up the scissors and cuts them up. Buries them deep.

And he puts on a smile.

I dunno why I was so worried about being cringe™ with naming things in my worldbuilding. Or giving my operator OCs code names which is a very normal thing for them to have. I wanted to give Valen's private security asset company (he's a specialized operator there, he doesn't own it just to clarify) but I was licherally frozen in fear because I was worried I'd be labeled as silly.

Anyways, I'm naming organizations and OCs whatever I wish now. All that to say that I've decided I'm Free™ and unburdened because I want to have fun more than I want to be worried.

Valen's private security/military contracting company is called Ares Systems and his sobriquet or alias is the Saint. Vesper is called Nightshade and he works with an underground group called Aegis.

Fuck it, I ball. Onward to better things

Does anybody else get drowned with such an intense feeling of mourning when hou are surrounded by nature. Not upset, not sad, just that feeling like youre witnessing the deterioration of a one of a kind creature and can't do a thing to stop it.

Like lost in the woods or the mountains, look around in silence and feel your heart become small in your chest as you know this world is sick and twisted and every time you are able to inmerse yourself in the unwounded hesrt of the Earth you wonder, how long does it have left?

How long do we have left?

Will this forest be here next time I visit, or would it be consumed by wildfires? or chopped or built over who knows, I certainly don't and I don't think the trees know either, so we both hold our breaths as we share a moment of peace before returning to the crazy world that we've made.

i’ll never understand people who can’t make fun of their faves a little. like yes i love this character and would defend them to my grave but also they’re stupid sometimes and they do dumb things and imma make fun of them for it

Is it just me or was there little to no Halloween vibes this year. Like what do you mean Halloween is less than four days away. I've seen more Halloweenposting in like June than the entirety of October

false alarm everyone he’s fine

Wee-woo wee-woo! Talking about ChiMondo. I'm not a person that ships 'em. Look away if you're a fan because you're probably gonna hate me! Wee woo!

Seeing people talk about ChiMondo. And as a person that also really doesn't enjoy it, I kinda wanna say my stuff.

I see them as friends more than anything. That's my big, BIG thing. They're just friends who have a sort of close friendship. They both seem very close in the game, but not enough to make me see the sparks. Chihiro seems to really idolize Mondo and Mondo is a really nice person to him. He's there to protect Chihiro and agreed to help him out before...

Ahem.

The dumbell.

They'd think highly of each other.

And like, not saying it'd be abusive and just not a great relationship in general...but it really wouldn't be the best relationship. I think it has to do with, as someone stated, how they'd put the other on a high pedestal and just not really think highly of themselves. I can't remember it correctly but it was something like that. Which could lead to some issues, like envy. And we know how horrible Mondo feels about him and his need to be manly. It could lead to bad blood between them or just...them not really seeing eye to eye as much.

And relationships (romantic) can ruin friendships between two people. So there goes their friendship I guess.

Idk, I just see them as friends. I'm not really into the "They'd be cute together!" They're cute as friends in my eyes. Ya know, just Mondo looking out for Chihiro and Chihiro trying to help him out in any way. And I like the friends to lovers trope, but there's just a version I like. And honestly, they just seem like really great friends who care about one another in a sort of brotherly manner.

indie games are safe!!

good news! unity has walked back a lot of the runtime fee!

they made a blog post outlining their new terms, the link is here. but if you want a sparknotes version, here's the highlights:

1. the runtime fee is not retroactive. previously released games are safe.

2. the fee only applies to the next major version of unity. developers can choose not to upgrade if they don't want do deal with it.

3. the fee is opt-in and number of installs is self-reported. if they'd prefer, developers can instead pay a 2.5% revenue share. (for reference, unreal is 4%.)

4. interestingly, the splash screen is being completely removed. this is probably a way to improve their reputation.

overall, this is a HUGE improvement! but, if I remember right, there was not any revenue share before, so, we are not at the same point we started. unity will still be taking a larger cut of developers' revenue if they choose to use newer features. but, it is nowhere near as drastic as we thought it would be.

overall, I think we're in a stable spot now, but I also think unity has lost most if not all of the trust it had. especially with indies. there has already been a mass exodus, and I kinda hope that will keep going.

POV you read the book of bill and then the 3rd journal and then lost legends and then the great gatsby and rewatched the show twice and are on your third rewatch in the past two months and watched a bajillion animatics and character analysises and actually read fanfic which you never do like ever and you’re starting to feel like you’re running out of content and might need to start drawing more

i hit 1k followers recently!!!! yipee!!!!!!! thank you all!!! so in celebration here’s all of my completed isat doodle pages, from oldest to newest. go nuts with them!! and maybe don’t look at the first doodle page too closely. it’s Old.

(no greyscale version below for once! just some mushy ramblings. you don’t have to read them don’t worry)

hhhhhha?? so many people. where did you come from. how did you all find me.

ok but seriously, thank you all so much for all the support. i never really. expected to make it this far? like, ever?? i’ve mentioned it a few times on here, but i’ve been a lurker for the past… 2 years, i think? and even before that, i never gained much traction outside of a couple posts. so this has been. very new to me!! in a nice way!! it’s weird to feel like an actual member of a community!! that people know about!

the idea of finally coming back to social media was Daunting (i literally got stress hives writing my first post lol) and the warm reception really. meant a lot?? i don’t think i would’ve ever gotten the courage to come back if i hadn’t been encouraged to by the people over at the isat discord!!

the fact that people actually care about my art still doesn’t feel real?? seeing people take inspiration from my art is just. surreal. just. auagssh. thank you all so so much for everything, i really do appreciate it!!! i’m really glad to be in this community. sorry if this all sounds sappy and long winded i’ve just got a lot of emotions about this whole thing!!

(also as a bonus for reading all this or whatever. here’s a concept page for isatscryption! it felt a little out of place next to my normal canvases so i’m putting it down here! yipee! sorry my notes here are so disjointed auauau…)

[fibi-draws]

this was less of a danganronpa v3 redesign and more of a "drawing the drv3 characters in outfits i would actually enjoy drawing more than once" but it got completely out of hand

anyway - day three of trying to defeat artblock went great and [commissions are open] again <3

Wanting to leave the council (and Mel) at the drop of a hat because he realised his place is in the lab (and with Viktor), but realising just too late and loosing him in the process due to the repercussions of not choosing him earlier (what happened with Skye and his night with Mel). Jayce Talis the bisexual disaster you are.
