“im a hater at heart” and its biphobia

[blackbatcass]

i can’t stop being plagued by thoughts of bart allen. can you. can you imagine being fourteen years old and waking up every day knowing that your loved ones will always be beyond your reach? that you have family who are alive and well but you’ll never see them again? that there isn’t just physical distance between you and your mom but hundreds of years? that no matter how much family you have in this time, no matter how much they love you, you’ll never be whole? you will never have everyone you love in one room? that not one single person in the world speaks your native language? that your mom wants you and loves you desperately and you still can’t be with her? that you can never go home?

redraw of this piece!! i mentioned in that post that i would redraw it at some point and ig that time is now! (i meant to post this before id2 came out but i got really busy so y'know lol better late than never)

i like to think i've improved! still can't draw chairs though haha

side by side comparison under the cut + rambly artist commentary(?):

i still have a long way to go in learning proper anatomy but i think the new pose looks a lot more natural and comfortable! also ~sexier~ perhaps

i tried to make the bg look closer to the actual cg they used in the book, i am arguably better at doing backgrounds now i think! i used to not put a lot of thought into it and just blocked out random shapes and called it a day (okay, i still do that now lol but i put more care into it now !! i try to make the shapes a bit more distinct and actually plan and sketch it out rather than draw some blobs and hope for the best ldkfkhsl). also more colour range(?) to give it a bit more depth!!)

i'd also like to add that i think i'm also better at figuring out compositions now, idk how it is for y'all but when i look at the original my eyes can't help but just fall to the centre, bc there's no focal point(?) or anything that's visually interesting for the eyes to land on. plus with the way it's structured, my eyes just naturally fall to center (+ bottom half bc the skin showing through the rips are bright in contrast to the black) >_> in contrast, in the redraw your eyes are automatically drawn to the face bc it's arguably the most interesting thing on the canvas and thus acts as the visual anchor of sorts (plus there is enough contrast with the background to make cas stand out instead of blend in)

even though i cringe looking at the og i can't help but to also feel endeared bc this was one of the first immortal desires fanart i ever did and also one the first of my posts to do really well! i never expected to get that much attention since i was only posting casually but it really warmed my heart reading all the lovely comments and motivated to draw more :D

it's also really fun seeing how much my art style and techniques have evolved! i don't think i use any of the same brushes i used to use for my old pieces anymore now haha. i also watched the timelapse for the old one and am honestly kind of in awe at how my different my drawing process used to be!!

i still have a lot to learn (esp in terms of anatomy, lighting, shading etc.) but i'm happy with where i am rn! the great thing about being a hobbyist is that there isn't really any pressure for me to improve quickly so i can just take my time haha (except maybe from imposter syndrome but that's neither here nor there)

i think i could've drawn his face and expression a bit better but i think this is a satisfying enough redraw for now!

btw, these are just my thoughts! i am not an art student so the things i said might not be technically correct but this is how i make sense of things in my brain

they hated illario because he was a d1 yapper who was bad at assassinating people and was so annoyingly drunk and grief stricken at his cousin’s wake that viago had to drug him to shut him up (so what if he was also the guy who set his cousin up to die/disappear) . and also for working with the venatori and selling out the antivan crows i guess.

The 4b movement starts being discussed in the west and is immediately watered down to the most tepid version possible …very predictable

Just Posted a Public Side Story for Viktor! ✨

Hi guys! So, I just posted a free side story over on my Patreon and Ko-Fi. It's part of a backstory for Viktor and in this story, it'll be about how Viktor first discovered his power.

There are also bits on some of the other characters' first experiences with their own respective powers and you'll also get a glimpse on the different dynamics/relationships that little Viktor has with his father and his mother.

I've been writing it on the side for the past couple of weeks and it's a pretty long story, around 5K words long. And because of that, I've decided to split it into three parts--all are posted at the same time.

Since the posts, including this tumblr post were scheduled, when I was writing this post, I couldn't link to the posts specifically because they were not posted yet 😆

But if you're reading this, then that means the story (all 3 parts) is already up on both my Patreon page and Ko-Fi now. Just go to either page and you should be able to find them right away.

Sorry, for the pretty scuffed post. I'll make sure to update this post with the links once I'm home 😂

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the story! 🥰

Me two hours ago: I only give gifts to six people during the winter holidays so I should see who wants handmade gifts and who I can just buy something for

Four of the six people: yeah I want something handmade

A fifth person: You can do whatever (I decided to make them a hat in bulky weight yarn cuz they got excited about the pattern and it calls for a yarn I really like working with)

Sixth person: has not responded yet (I randomly send them weird things so I asked them if they'd rather get something weird or something handmade. Knowing them it'll probably be the weird option)

I am telling myself I have plenty of time for six small projects.

I am gonna start my sibling's Dramatic Bitch lace up opera gloves that I'm drafting the pattern for myself (RIP the discontinued lace up opera glove pattern that I made myself when I was 14 and also a Dramatic Bitch that inspired this choice) today. I've cast on for a gauge swatch and I have all the ingredients I need for this and it'll take the longest so I better start now.

My grandma said she has always thought it would be fun to have a small zippered tote that has a zippered pocket that someone else made for her and that grandpa does all the grocery shopping and he could use a bag that's easy to fold up. I'm using this as an excuse to go to the quilting shop I bought Edith (serger) from cuz they are a local place and have much higher quality fabric than JoAnn's (derogatory).

My mom said she would think about what she wants and I warned her to only pick small items cuz between my other projects I can't knit her like idk a sweater in the amount of time I have.

My gf said I could just buy her something and I am keeping that as a backup and making her hat last in case I run out of steam/time.

Why did they translate it like that I'm crying 😂

[Ryu actually called him "Ai'Tom" instead of Atom, which is overly familiar and would be considered rude in this instance.]

why is fernsong on thin ice with dovewing, did ivypool use him to send her messages or something like that

Yeaaaaahhh. I figured it was obvious enough to figure out lmao.

Dovewing really likes Fernsong (who doesn't?) but Ivypool continues to be a petty badger for years. She's changed a lot after the impostor murdered her daughter publicly for codebreaking and suddenly ShadowClan didn't look so crazy to resist him from the very start...

But she treated Dovewing like garbage for years. Always looking for ways to spite her and her 'Friendship' with Tigerheart, and it didn't even stop after she booked it. Dovewing doesn't WANT to fix this.

Sure, this stems from Lionblaze being a really bad parent, playing obvious favorites with Dovepaw and neglecting Ivypaw. But Ivypool would take it out on her. Well into their adulthood. And NOW she wants to reconcile? When Dovewing's finally away from her, and living happily?

Fernsong and Dovewing have a history, making friends with each other before Fern started dating Ivy when he first joined ThunderClan, but he FLOATED the idea of Dove talking to her sister, "you know... Ivypool talks about you," and she shut it down fast.

(That means she walked away, cutting the whole reunion short. She really did discover the power of Just Leaving and has been using it like a superpower)

He hasn't dared try again, since that moment. He knows very well he won't get a second chance, and Dovewing is his friend. He doesn't want to ruin it. She's forgiven him, but hasn't forgotten.

I think Dovewing has a reputation of being really sensitive, according to ThunderClan cats. And, she kinda is? But it's because she was so patient for years with them. She feels like if she gives an inch, they'll take a mile, and reacts accordingly.

...it's why the deafness isn't ALWAYS a bad thing, in Dovewing's mind. Sometimes she really appreciates it. She doesn't have to listen to her dad bark for her to get back here, or Bumblestripe break out into a sob, or whatever stage of denial Ivypool's circled back around to. If she does, it's quiet.

It's SO much easier to walk away now.
