I think I just gotta start writing the thing, so I'm gonna try to write a bit a day and we'll see how it goes:

Alice wakes up and looks out the window, and... That's weird, it's so much emptier.

Where's the port town facing the sea with their little red roofs and white walls that she can usually see in the distance?

Where are the smoking chimneys of big cargo boats out in the port, made small by the distance?

Where are the cranes, seemingly still ever time she looks, but somehow always hard at work, loading and unloading?

Where is the touch of modernisation?

Out in the distance, all she sees are trees that should not be there and rolling green hills with no roads with people and cars and trucks cutting through them, ever busy.

She opens the window, and the breeze blows in, but it's crisper, fresher, not carrying the smoky tang of vehicles and boats alike, something she never thought of, never noticed until now.

It's quieter too.

There isn't the sound of people and cars and boats in the distance, only the call of birds and the rustling of leaves, so much closer than before.

BANG!

The door startles her and she turns to see Marcus there, panting, anxious, his mouth gaping open, mouthing words he cannot find or voice.

She knows before he speaks what he's going to say.

They aren't in their world anymore.

#felt the urge to end it with #we aren't in Kansas anymore #cause it would be iconic and hilarious #anyway i have a story #and I'm going to try to write a bit of it a day #or else I'll never start #and so never finish #and die regretting it forever #it's supposed to be a comic actually #but that requires more effort #and if i frame it as having to be a comic #I'll never get around to doing it #just putting it out in the world is better than not writing it #and so I'm doing this to remind myself of that #wonder writes #part 1

Human! Perry is on the brain and it is a delight to draw

More doodles!

#perry the platypus #phineas and ferb #human perry #got to monologue in the tags now #drawing this is pretty funny to me because i remember being 10 and being asked by some guy in class if i could draw Phineas and ferb #and at the time i didn’t really watch cartoons nor had the Disney channel so i just went ??? no because i had no clue what that was #but also because i hated being asked to draw stuff #I ended up watching phineas and ferb sometime in early highschool(?) and loved it but still never did anything for it #so now years later i still haven’t drawn the boys but here’s Perry #there’s such great designs of human! Perry I suddenly felt the urge to draw him #but make him nerdier #consistent art style? never heard of her #gotta post this before I decided not to

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

kids when they hear that their dad is back in town VS. kids when theyre hanging out with a conman that accidentally stole their wallet once

im not even joking btw

bonus heres me being crazy about them in dms ^^^

#mob psycho 100 #mp100 #shou suzuki #sho suzuki #reigen arataka #i know sho doesnt actually BELIEVE his dad is back but even just that split second reaction is a weird one to have over your dad coming bac #he was like 'say sike rn... wait that aint right.'#shou watching them on the bottom floor while being isolated up in the corner at the end of the third stage play. and saying #'it's nice that they're so easygoing.' all wistfully???? im killing somebody #reigen calling him a poor thing and worrying about him DESPITE knowing his mischievous ways. ugh #gonna quote my reaction to clip rq #'bro [shou] heard him [reigen] talking about guardianship over children and making sure theyre safe over anything else and was like-#'this is getting too real for me i gotta make fun of him immediately.''#idc WHAT yall think to ME that was such a thick layer of defense mechanism that even though reigen's guardianship speech wasnt directed #at Sho he still felt the intrinsic urge to shoot back because of what hes experienced with people who are SUPPOSED to be protecting him.#would yall believe me if i told you i am totally insane #there are SO MANY THINGS. woven into their interactions that really enhance it #its totally silly! yes! but also! it is a legitimate ARC of GROWTH within their relationship! we watch as Sho starts off #with no trust in the man at all (although for a pretty good reason)#and over time he realizes hes NOT total shitbag #of course this doesnt mean hes completely vulnerable with him. its easy to infer that his distrust in certain people is formed from #a lifetime of being let down and incapability of dependency on certain trusted adults. his defense must be so heavily built up #even after gaining some sort of trust from Shou Reigen will NOT be exempt from his impish defense mechanisms.#sho will not make himself emotionally available as he would then be open to being hurt by someone else he thought could trust #his 'carefree and prankish' behavior is the wall between himself and such an intense feeling of disappointment and hurt and loneliness #but i like to think hes also just silly. hehe #man that stage play huh. shoots every fatal drug directly into my bloodstream #shou's trust and father issues VS stupid conman who has the common sense to not let children be beat up by grown ass adults. who will win.#i mightve forgotten something but. i think this is pretty packed full already so i am pleased. thank you for reading <3 #meowmeow art

Jaheira offering to watch Durge while they sleep legit caught me so off guard the first time I got there and made me so emotional that it completely changed the way I was playing my Durge for the rest of the game and I’m still emotional about it

#Jaheira legit fixed my durge it’s unreal #like the whole scene I didn’t know was coming and caught me off guard #but like it felt like Jaheira was like targeting every single thing that my durge was being emo about and was like ‘we’ll fix this’#and not just that but ‘I know how to fix this and I’ll help’#and then ending with watching me sleep had me IN TEARS #like the first person who knows exactly what is wrong with you and isn’t offering you a death sentence #or a death sentence for the entire world #but like actually a solution and support from actual knowledge on what’s going on #I love her and Durge so much #she’s my dad that stepped up fr #crazy what one dead beat mom can do #the dark urge #durge #bg3 #Jaheira #baldur's gate 3

hear me out kitchen scene is literally going to be eddie going over to buck's to let him know him and marisol broke up and hes going to be like lmao guess we're both single now still want to go go karting 🤪🥰🥳!! and bucks going to be like... about that...

@chronicowboy and I were literally discussing this exact scenario a week ago (minus eddisol break up lmao) but legitimately. legitimately I think there is a very very high chance of this happening. specifically a callback to the go karting and eddie trying to make time for buck only for buck to be like oh. I actually have plans. with tommy. and coming out to eddie

#do yall actually remember me saying i was getting the strongest urge to figure out how to write a fic cause i had a very specific scenario #in mind #it was literally this lmao #it was before we knew the kitchen scene stills were from 705 so i actually thought buck would apologize to tommy before the end of the #episode and tommy would ask him to dinner (NO chin grabbing in my scenario they were leaving room for jesus)#and then eddie would come over and be like okay talk to me. and when buck admits he's felt sidelined and jealous he would apologize and try #to make up for it with the go karting rain check #and then buck says he has a date with tommy blah blah blah #sorry i blacked out remembering how different everything is from last week and how it somehow turned out to equal the most delusional spec #we could ever make #crazy. Crazy #911 spoilers #weewoo brainrot

let's meet again

#kingdom hearts #kh #kingdom hearts dark road #khdr #xehanort #young xehanort #baldr #xehabaldr #quadratum au #my art #kh art #(shaking you by the shoulders) BALDR IN QUADRATUM!!!!!!!!!#and he gets a ponytail because. well look at him #idr who i saw say 'i knew he had bakura vibes' when the finale dropped but i was definitely channeling that here #i've been resisting the urge to ramble abt baldr in the tags. because. i am insane #but. BUT #i dont think that there's a meaningful difference between baldr and darkness. like i think 'possessed' baldr IS baldr #and that he's always been Like That. but i also think it's a mask #like he is cruel because of hatred and anger but also because of grief. and also because he's miserable and -#- because he needs to feel like he deserves it. deserves to be miserable #like it's about punishing himself. that's what it is at its core. he is vile and so he will act vile #but it's an act. he's putting on a show. it's a performance #'i win. you lose. the end'#so he tries to drag xehanort into the performance by goading him into being hurt and angry and vengeful towards him (like he deserves)#but the second xehanort refuses to play along the facade comes crashing down #all that to say. i remembered this bit of dialogue from days and felt like drawing something self indulgent. again #happy valentines day to unwell people <3

Since Rakha was somewhat intrigued by the description of Ilmater worship as a place where sinners are welcomed and forgiven, I had her read some of the documents available in the Open Hand Temple, and boy howdy are they a roller coaster of emotions for her.

We've got...

Intro to the Triad for Children:

Soup Discussion:

The Least Cheerful Hymn:

SURPRISE BHAAL MENTION:

Masochistic Combat Manual:

Masochistic Religious Manual:

More Soup Discussion:

Bad Medical Advice:

And Anti-Sorcerer Rhetoric:

Result: Rakha is now pissed off, depressed, hungry, and her head hurts.

#bjk plays bg3 durge #rakha the dark urge #thus ends rakha's brief foray into considering taking up ilmaterism #honestly the rest just sort of perplexed her but that last bit hurt :(#i don't think that document is even supposed to be official ilmater doctrine #just rambling by some weirdo who thinks he's enlightened and is bothering the priests #but pretty sure rakha read it and it felt like a punch in the gut

Torturing myself with thoughts of Durge potentially having a very unintended experience the first time she goes on that little weave date with Gale.

.

What if she intends to kiss him in the weave, but her fractured mind conjures up the image of Gortash instead after she pulls away.

It's who she really wants, she just doesn't remember.

Gale is none the wiser, until the weave slips away to reveal a panicked Durge...

Trying to explain what she saw?

Trying to brush it off?

Who is that man burned into what's left of her brain matter? Who was he to her that the weave would pull him forth when she made the decision to pursue Gale?

And laying eyes on him again for real, at Moonrise...

Maybe she finds the Prayer for Forgiveness, and her hands are shaking as she reads, knowing that she penned this.

To her father.

Her God.

To Bhaal.

Scelaritas's words suddenly make sense.

"He would forget his god for you, but you won't for him. Of that I know."

She did forget her god once, it seems.

For Gortash.

After that, she goes to Wyrm's Rock to meet him alone, because she has one burning, inescapable question.

"Who are you to me?"

#durgetash #GOREtash #The Dark Urge #DurgeGale #Good GOD I am in deep #My fully Evil Durge run is with Ascended Astarion - tragic romance #E!Durge realizing her lover no longer sees her as an equal...but GORTASH on the other hand...#E!Durge ascended Astarion because she gave zero shits about 7000 souls and felt that Astarion deserved to have that power #When he actually EXERTED that power over HER she was quite taken aback #Somewhere inside she remembered the height of her power and someone to share godhood with; she was blindsided by Astarion #But she made her bed. She still cared for him; so she chose to lie in that bed #But Gortash still had a hold over her now-undead heart #Astarion is callous about it when Gortash meets his unceremonious end by the Brain and E!Durge (Hiraeth) takes this personally #She reclaims her power by taking dominion for Bhaal; subjugating everyone - Astarion included - to bring about her father's dead world.#Because really; the only thing that ever held her back from fulfilling her purpose was her admiration for Gortash.#RESISTENT DURGE ON THE OTHER HAND is romancing Gale lol #AND THE WHOLE 'HE WOULD FORGET HIS GOD FOR YOU' LINE REALLY STRUCK A CHORD WITH THE PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS
