Been playing AC Unity a lot, of course I needed a Hijacked Assassin's Creed AU in which Hiccup is the master assassin tasked with training the newbie.

#Hiccup's like jesus put that blade away before you hurt yourself #Man didnt sign up for babysitting yet here he is #Jack has no patience and wants to stabby stabby #Jacks giving Hiccup more gray hair with every passing day #hijack #hiccup haddock #assassins creed au #jack frost #ROTG #HTTYD #sweeetcheeese #my art #frostcup

Market based mistakes.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen chao #wen zhuliu #Apologies for how much I skipped in the last part of this episode.#I do love the scene of Jiang Cheng regaining his will to live and the ensuing scenes of Wei Wuxian seeing him off at the mountain base.#At the same time I very much want to keep pressing on with the story.#The notes I have are for scenes I did not draw:#I still think a lot about the symbolism of food in both consumption and giving - especially in regards to the Yunmeng Trio.#Prior to JC leaving we see WWX out buying food for him. Something that initially falls through as JC runs back to Lotus Pier.#But here it comes back full circle. WWX gives away a part of himself to be 'consumed' by Jiang Cheng.#It is about being led by desire (JC wanting revenge to losing his will to live to wanting his core back)#and about being bound by duty to do whatever it takes to see those desires through to the end.#JC can't eat until he has his desire to live back. WWX carves out his own ambitions to help another reach theirs.#And it isn't held up as noble! Not even once! He is routinely punished and criticized for this sacrifice.#Being thrown into the burial mounds really is just symbolism for how we can give away every scrap of ourselves to others-#-and find ourselves at rock bottom. Alone.#When you hollow yourself out it just leaves room for something else to fill it. Something worse.

do u go out alone usually?

At some point, I figured out that my options were (a) find a partner and/or a tight-knit group of friends who happen to be into historical walking tours, operas, 17th century plays, and art museums, or (b) be brave and do things anyway.

Since no one miraculously appeared to take me up on option a, and staring at my apartment walls lost its luster pretty quickly.....I do things anyway.

#and like. after you do it a while you realize that it's brave in the least brave way possible.#they put an invisible thing in your head that makes mean comments if you do things ''wrong''#(this includes a truly staggering number of things. some of the advice is contradictory. it's a bad voice!)#but if you stop listening to it and let yourself go and be a little bit jittery in a public place again and again.#the voice gets fainter and fainter. and sillier. and then it's just a wasp buzzing around your head.#it doesn't go away but it doesn't weight you down either.#sarah gives advice

i for some goddamned reason hadn't realized the inherent homoerotism involved in the mana manipulation that javier and lloyd do on each other when the need arises but like. damn. lloyd literally has to stop himself from moaning outloud when javier infuses his own mana into him, comparing it with a massage, a day at the sauna and a warm bowl of soup all at the same time. fellas is it gay to pour your own life force into your friend, gently coaxing his body into repairing itself while permeating his entire body with your own essence?? and then they have the audacity of bantering about how well they know each other like no shit you guys you've quite literally explored each other's bodies at this point lmao

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #llojavi #i missed lloyd almost moaning when javier gives his own mana to him which honestly. embarrassing of me :/#sir you are lucky you stopped yourself just in time you are literally in front of the queen abdhsjdbsk #add to this that it's canon there has to be consent between these two before they can absorb and give away mana to each other #and the parallel is exquisite #javier asrahan

the candle.

a comic about rediscovering passion and recovering from burnout.

creative notes:

#this comic ended up feeling so much more somber than i think i originally intended #i hope the conclusion at the end comes off more settled and happy than it does reluctant or disappointed #since i do feel that way. happy that is #its a cliche but returning to your inner child #just making stuff that YOU'D like to see more of #it does wonders for making you feel less like being a creator means giving away parts of yourself #im sorry if this is coming off as preachy #obviously you can do what you like #and im not ever gonna be the wisest person in the room #im barely into my 20s #but i spent almost a year torturing myself over what i wanted to be #deciding to just...do what i thought would be cool ended up being the best possible decision #its 10pm #this series makes me really marinate in my own issues #very pretentious but at this point its my brand #comic art #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.

#leverageposting #leverage #sophie devereaux #particularly that one of or both her parents had to move around a lot for work & so she would change herself to fit in at every new school #or new town etc etc. and that whatever original identity she had was dropped due to some kind of really awful event and her bio family think #she’s dead. eg she got into some kind of extreme legal trouble for the first time & she faked her death & everyone she knew as a kid thinks #she’s dead too. like. astrid wasn’t the first person she left to miss/mourn her.#but also that she was a teen runaway at like age ~16 and pretended to be an adult (like. 18/19) cause theres not much you can do by yourself #as a minor like booking flights or renting an apartment. and so began her first proper alias. and she was a pickpocket until she could fund #her life fully through grifting & cons.#or alternatively her parents died when she was a teen & she was old enough to become an emancipated minor (everyone in lev is an orphan)#and she kind of just fell into crime from there bc she had no one #or perhaps she got married at 17 and realised how fucked it all was and stashed money until she could run away & leave it all behind. that’s #bc of a single vague sentence on john rogers’ blog saying she was married at 17 and in context it was quite possibly a joke or random #hypothetical example but i was like what if???? What If???????#i also like the hc that she’s trans which i’ve seen a few times #in some versions in my mind her parents were okay and in some versions they were awful and in some versions it was so complicated.#i think tara has heard one story and parker or hardison have heard another and nate has never heard any story. he’s never asked.#she is here now and that’s all that needs knowing. and sophie devereaux is her real name in any way it matters.#eliot has also never asked and she asked if he was curious once and he just asked if she was curious about What He Did and that was answer #enough for the both of them. just a mutual agreement not to ask and it actually solidified their bond.#i think she struggled for a long time about whether to tell her new family The Real Story but in much the same way we never hear her birth #name bc it’s not Her anymore… she never gives The Real Story. bc it no longer defines who she is. she’s so much more than whatever happened.#lvg

im sorry but i haven't found a definition of anomie that ive understood yet, could you explain it in your own words please?

i dont think i have felt anything like that

I think Anomie can most succinctly be summed up the "We Live in a Society" emotion, at least in my experience. It IS social isolation, and profound alienation, but i feel like those terms don't fully capture what it entails and why it arises. It's a feeling of disconnection arising from the acute awareness of the inconsistencies inherent to living day to day when faced with the greater context of the rest of the world. The flagrant inconsistencies between what is seen and what is known. When I was working in a grocery store It was an overpowering background noise. It's the thing that made me feel in ineffably cold from hearing a chirpy advertisement proclaiming it's National Hot Dog Day on the radio, all while working a miserable barely minimum wage job that increasingly felt like it didn't matter at all despite not actually being a pointless job, just one largely (but not entirely) mechanically divorced from any sense of human connection or community, while knowing that I am American and Safe and knowing what America Is and what America Does and how there's this horrible exterior reality of suffering and death and exploitation feeding every cell in an ecosystem of comfort and discomfort that I have no choice but to exist as a part of, drinking the blood of strangers. But it doesn't matter, it isn't real, it's National Hot Dog Day.

#It's not my favorite #extremely Kill Yourself Type Emotion #emotion creatures #I've always closely associated ennui and anomie and so ennui being in inside out 2 made me think. well. what about the other one.#This is also just my own understanding of it i have not actually read Durkheim. I'm more familiar with the concept through J. G. Ballard pf #If this is giving away that I'm pretentious idc you should have noticed that by now

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

#it's about simba coming back to pride rock it's about aragorn using andúril to fight for middle earth and assuming the throne it's about #hiccup marrying astrid and assuming his role as chief and moses returning to egypt #and it's about irina loving her people so fully that when she claims all of her subjects as hers that chernobog must release them to her!!!#and it's about miryem choosing to stay with the staryk and repair the damage and assume responsibility for the land and people!!!!!#and! it's! about! gen!!!!#it's ALWAYS about gen!!!!#gen who didn't want to be king. who hated being king and only wanted to marry a queen but who obeyed his gods and became a king over kings #who lost his home and half his family and his HAND but who ushered in a new golden age.#and it's about sophos who ran away but who shot the ambassador and took back his kingdom #it's about duty and it's about sacrifice and it's always ALWAYS about doing the right thing even at great personal cost because it's about #submitting to a power higher than your own. of recognizing that the calling on life is one for serving others and having so much more to #answer for than just yourself. it's knowing duty is love is duty #i cant stand stories where the answer is 'give up the throne and reject your duty' because no!!! you dont get it!!!#thats how you get the monsters!!! thats how you get the prince turned into a beast and thats how you get every terrible weak king that #aragorn feared becoming #to accept your throne is to die to self!!! you are no longer you but 'king' or 'queen'#it's like queen mary says to qeii in the crown 'elizabeth mountbatten must die #elizabeth regina must take her place.'#that's terrifying! but it's also everything!!!!#die! to! self! die! to! self!!!!!!#lilac rambles #lilac goes to the movies #lion king #prince of egypt #lotr #spinning silver #the crown #tqt #the queen's thief #httyd

FOUNDATION | 2x05 | The Sighted and The Seen Welcome, Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick and Salvor Hardin of Terminus. You are our guests.

#foundationedit #foundation #foundation apple tv #gaal dornick #salvor hardin #hari seldon #tellem bond #beegifs #lou llobell #jared harris #leah harvey #this was such a great moment/way to highlight their characters.#gaal is so graceful and respectful and precise giving nothing away.#hari made that look so fucking offensive and dismissive jesus christ old man. like elevating yourself to godhood didn't start all this #salvor in her no bullshit defensive mode trying to get a read and failing. but unlike gaal you can read her perfectly #which is good foreshadowing #(plus judging hari bc of course theres time for that)#but whereas salvor is just Really old man gaal looks like she wants to punch him again in front of everyone

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen ning #wei wuxian #Ignore how Wen Ning's hair looks here because I messed it up. Let's pretend he just sported a different hair style for a brief moment.#I am not exactly great at consistency but I am trying very hard to work on that (immediately messes up again).#Absolutely *love* how Wen Ning clearly remembers and admires WWX...who does *not* recognize him.#This is the best day for Wen Ning and it means *nothing* to WWX.

Sometime we pour love into a relationship-#-with someone who just can't reciprocate. It isn't always a conscious things either. Some people just aren't aware we care.#And painfully - so painfully - You can't make them aware. No act of kindness or gift or self sacrifice will make someone care about you.#You can martyr yourself for someone and they will continue on unchanged.#I think a lot about the parallels between WN and LWJ. Not foils - just reflections. A theme repeated.#People who give so much of themselves to someone who doesn't have the capacity to give any part of themself away.#I will die on the hill of 'Wen Ning would be the love triangle romance if that trope wasn't being avoided'.#And to be honest - thank the stars above that is the case.

how many of you would get mad at me if i said that mulder fucking another woman while wearing scully’s crucifix necklace is one of the most romantic things to ever happen….like, gothically and punitively so….it’s like….well, it’s like…it’s like “aw boohoo he has to get laid because he’s so sad his partner is gone” but like for a person who never allows themself any indulgence or respite or attention, who therefore only has sex as penance. only in blood. and it’s like…yes, it’s self-harm, in many ways, but in many ways it is also confession. crucifixion, as a laying down of sin. bless me father, for i can’t save them, and i miss them anyway. crucifixion as being watched over…when he asked maggie, “why did she wear this?” and maggie answered, “because i gave it to her.”

#when you don’t believe in god but you believe in her so you give yourself religious guilt #he literally……he puts it on for his first case without her. for his first time away from home without her.#and therefore endows this kind of omniscient presence into it #it really is like being watched over. confession.#‘vampirism as an allegory for devotion and religion and abuse’ episode i am sorry i was not your mother #not everyone got it but i did #like….top 10 television episodes of all time. not just this show.#txf.txt #3 #also it’s an admission.#it’s an admission that he can connect with someone and desire that type of connection #he’s capable and maybe he wants it. maybe it means something.#the trust and care that existed between him and kristen has existed with 100 other women and never been anything more than #friendly and respectful #but maybe when it really comes down to it he does want to be seen in another light and that is a lot to admit

This time I'll get to stay

What if we were both ReGenes and escaped together and our bond of survival turned into a bond of siblinghood and we promised to keep each other safe. And then we clumsily stumbled our way into being vigilantes and one of us was better at being a hero while the other wanted to remain hidden. And then what if during a mission one of us saw the other point their gun into their mouth and the other had no choice but to tackle them but the window was right there and the ground tore us both apart.

Then imagine we're separated for five years, each being told the other is dead and both being haunted by the negative space left by their absence. And then one of us escapes first, and the other escapes second and by some miracle we find each other again. But we're both so broken, and it takes a while for either of us to trust again.

What if. What if.

oh to be loved by yuji

In honour of the fandom's collectively adopted child's birthday. In my head, Shibuya never happened. In my head, Yuji is happy. Call me Fushiguro Megumi, because I am irrevocably in love with Itadori Yuji too.

who gives you the best hugs

who is a major ass cuddler

who will hit a spider with a slipper if you're scared of it and then secretly have a mental breakdown over it when he realises that it must've had a family

who takes you on onsen dates

who insists on helping you wash your hair and more

who breathes in the scent of your hair whenever he thinks you're asleep (on him of course)

who's procrastibakes pies so good that make you want to inhale them all in

who cooks and looks hot while doing it

who will bring you flowers out of the blue because why not

whose love language is playing bread & fred with you

who is big fucking tease

"I love you" "Say it again" "Ugh, you're fun, I guess" "You guess? Damn do you slander everyone you supposedly fall in love with?" "Nope, you get special rights" "Oh? What else can I get away with then?" "What do you want to get away with?" A cheesy grin spreads across his face and you realise you might have screwed yourself up, uh oh!

who absentmindedly caresses your thumb when your hands are intertwined

who will play dumb only to rile you up and then make up by kissing you all over

who gets away with almost everything and yes, that might have to do with how he's a little cute

who insists you match outfits on movie nights

who will go on a rant mid movie about how poor the visual effects are and then spend the next half pestering you to explain how the plot developed in the time he was ranting

who asks for consent every time he kisses you, no matter how long you are together, he will look for a sign of permission every single time

who buys you the most random of things because they reminded him of you

who is just as good a listener as he is a yapper

who puts on the slayest of bangers when he cooks/bakes with you (Livin la vida loca being one of them)

who follows the sidewalk rule religiously

#aaaa this is all i could think of #this is for you anon #feel free to imagine yourself as megumi #i did it too #kabdjbvkjdnjkv fuck you gege #fuck you so very much #give this kid the happiness he deserves #PLEASE #hes actually my child i will wrap him up in a duvet and run away with him to the mountains bye #happy birthday yuji my love #hes so my good looking boy coded #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #yuji itadori #megumi fushiguro

what if i put my life in your hands? what if i took your life in mine?

#okay look there's a reason i've been obsessed with this scene for 21 slutty slutty years #imagine for a second you're yue #your master—whom you loved more than your own existence—decided his work was finished and didn't need you anymore #and he pushed you into the dark where you slept for centuries until a little girl woke you up by sheer dumb luck #you now are trapped in this horrible new era where everything is too loud and too fast and too bright #you're also trapped in a body that isn't yours jockeying for room with a completely separate soul that you don't know or particularly like #and you're draining your meager stores of magic to the dregs in order to keep the two of you alive #under the surface of tsukishiro yukito you're drowning—and the both of you are fading away entirely #and then this boy #pulls you to the surface of yourself #and says with his whole heart 'i won't let you disappear'#he smiles at you and teases you and then pours his not inconsiderable power into you #and you take and you take and you take and he never says stop #he never says only a little but no more #he holds you close and lets you sup on the very marrow of his magic until there's nothing left and he's simply an ordinary human #and for the first time in centuries—perhaps ever—you feel full #when you finally step away and ease his unconscious body onto the bed as gently as you can manage #you murmur that you ought to thank him #but it's such an inadequate way to convey your gratitude #how do you give thanks for what you've made him lose?#you put your life in his hands and he cradled it as if it were precious... and then he gave you his own in return #in the world before this one you would have been as good as wed #you thumb the swell of his cheek and allow yourself one last look at your would-be husband #and then turn around to face the threat behind the door #as it creaks open to reveal a little body wracked with sobs you think you would face anything that would dare come for him or his sister #not because it is your duty as the guardian of the cards #but because you love them #touya/yue #ccs #yue
