When your mother chats with American friends after they've awoken, and your teenage brother chats with friends with unending energy

And it's fucking midnight

My life is now filled with unorganized naps and I'm becoming more cat-like by the day

#im happy for them both #mum has always had issues making friends and i was worried about how my lil bro would socially deal with high school #but omfg i have zero schedule and i do not think its helping my depression?#i need a fucking job already #remy chats #half the story in the tags #bleh #Aussie vs American times is a 14hr difference -_-

I cannot express enough that if your reaction, as a hobby artist, to not getting that many notes on your art is to say "maybe I should just stop doing art altogether" you need to stop posting art to tumblr

not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work

believe me, I get it, nothing crushes the artistic soul quite like labouring for hours on a piece only for it to get like 10 notes, so you need to find your own source of joy in the act of creation and a lot of the time that means making art and not showing it to anybody

#not art #listen #for real #this is not about any one person because i've seen posts about it from a bunch of people #you think i post everything here? buddy i dont even post half my stuff here #every drawing you see is preceded by five more just like it #that never see my cursor close to the save button #i have a sketchbook i draw in regularly that i do'nt show to a single goddam person #i make cutout art from gels i steal from work and stick them to my windows and do paintings in my living room just for me #because that it the only way you are ever going to be able to retain your original love of art #is by doing it for the sake of doing it #not for the sake of seeing how many people stop and stare #anyways i'm sorry if this sounds terse #but i'm so sick of seeing artists put all their self-esteem and happiness in the hands of a blogging website #stop selling yourself short by measuring your self worth by how many reblogs you get and what people say in the tags #your artistry and your happiness are worth more than that #if you're an artist for a living that's another story #but even then #even then #anyways sorry i'm done ranting

many people are afraid to be real lovers. dan and phil are not

#trying to decide whether I should elaborate or not #yes they’re friends soulmates turtles ranch everlasting pieces of furniture #but they are also lovers #they love each other #and that is real and it is beautiful how they’ve come to accept that they can unashamedly and openly love each other #it’s like when people say we don’t think of their content as couples content #bc they call themselves a couple of besties for the beautiful thing called the bit #but. they are a couple fr #if you asked me years ago I would think it’s so cringe to spend all your time with one person and be attached at the hip with them #but love can be so beautiful. i desire love and companionship #there’s nothing wrong with that and dnp have shown me how safe and comfortable and loving a relationship can be #not to be parasocial but sometimes I spiral thinking about the fact that I’m a normal person and will never be one half of a duo #living out their fun rich silly happy dream lives together after 15 years together #but like I’m a normal person. that will never happen #and that’s okay because love exists in other forms #this world is full of beautiful love stories #theirs just happens to be one that has been at the forefront of my mind for a decade #sorry for being weird!#yapping in the tags #dnp #dan and phil #phan #my thots

#--/ art #--/ story #ava the dark lord #⬇⬇⬇ context in the tags ⬇⬇⬇#alan becker #animator vs animation #animation vs minecraft #ava the chosen one #it is done !! ok ill give y'all the intro context synopsis now #the story goes that way way way way before Showdown cho and dark used to sneak into abandoned-looking buildings in the city at night #and one such target they stumble upon happens to be a storage room containing artifacts from Minecraft #the most interesting being the beds.#on this particular outing cho and dark were returning from other shenanigans and could use a place to rest. perfect!#dark belly-flops onto the right bed (scooting them out of alignment) and strikes a pose.#while chosen is shoving them back together again... oh. he's already asleep? ...???#!!! the beds draw you in if you get too close!#so what was supposed to be half an hour at most rest turned into the whole night. they skedaddled and forgot about the freaky beds.#until. a certain someone goes and dies :333 #you get it now ! ! !#it was dark diesn't ALL ALONG-#yeah and then for extra spice i threw in that the hooded stick King meets with during his episode to buy a command block...#...happens to own that storage room.#thus and so begins more brand new shenanigans with dark interacting with this shady rando. i call em seafoam #i highly extremely doubt there's a tag for seafoam . . . wiki calls them only 'hooded stick figure'#anyhow. behind the scenes this was also a practice of drawing things in 3D... keeping on model... and composition for storytelling #and i learned some things about how Whiteboard works too :o i. didn't know about the fill tool. it is cool #yayaya!! so that's been in my head for a while.#thx for reading <3 <3 ill be posting some close-up shots of this and other things i put on the whiteboard later #Minecraft bed

just came off my shift as an election judge and I honestly think we should make people do this. I support abolishing the draft, and I even think that jury duty can get complicated, but everyone in the country should be forced to learn about election procedure, then have to sit around for 14 hours and practice being customer service for democracy. I think that would fix us.

#is it fascinating scintillating work that will set you on fire for political discourse? no.#in my experience it is mostly making amiable conversation with elderly citizens #and occasionally complimenting people's penmanship #are some people....strange? absolutely yes.#and I heard even WEIRDER stories from my colleagues who were pollworkers before.#not even about the voters; about other pollworkers!#but I spent 14 hours (and some change) in a too-hot room half falling apart; I set up voting booths and counted colored tags #and was polite to everyone even the people who didn't talk or needed detailed explanations of every step.#I feel like it's victory enough.#anyway. enough on this subject! onto other things.#............................................at least until november when I'll do it again.#man's unending search for freedom

Hey do you think there's a deeper meaning or reason Spite looks just like Lucanis...

There's the scene by the fireplace and I picked up on how Lucanis closes his eyes as he turns his head to avoid looking at Spite...

It's like looking in a mirror, right, and your reflection is staring back as you deliberately hurt yourself with your words.

Lucanis, I think, is stuck in a cycle of 'It’s all I know.' 'It's what I'm good at.' But there's cracks there that hint this isn't who he wants to be...

"Death is my calling."

I don't think he actually believes that, but he has to tell himself that, right?

I don't think he's ever been given the chance to explore who he wants to be, he's just been told this is who he is...

Demons are bound when you 'tell' them what they are so loudly that it's all they can hear. They have to be what you want." But a spirit who evolves to become more of a "real person" is less malleable than a spirit and if they have the certainty of who they are and who they desire to be, they can resist binding entirely.

Did someone else bind the spirit to him by force? Corrupt its nature so fit the needs of the user?

If Spite was originally Love (as I've seen some people comment Love being the opposite of Spite) and they were forcibly bound to Lucanis for whatever reason, did that cause Love to twist into Spite?

I think we're going to have to heal both Lucanis and Spite from whatever grief or trauma they've been through, make him come to terms and accept whatever fucked up thing happened, so it sticks, and he stops just "wiping the slate clean".

He comes across to me as a guy who's just like going through the motions, and needs more of a push to change, for himself.

Nevertheless, it is not unheard of for spirits to evolve and become more "human" by coming to terms with grief, heal from being emotionally hurt, and thus be able to learn from what they endured. By coming to terms with grief, a spirit is able to grow as a person and not "wash clean" like a spirit."

Then I was reading up on spirit healers, and again, there's that same theme of trust here, the spirit trusting the 'mage' and also the loss of trust when being tricked by a benevolent spirit...

To gain the services of such benevolent and righteous beings requires that the mage earn their trust. Often this requires a series of trials to prove that the mage's goals are as noble as the spirit demands, though some mages have claimed to command the compliance of such spirits through sheer force of charisma.

So if Spite was Love, imagine if the trust was broken from the get-go, by whoever brought them over from the fade, that surely would cause Love to twist into Spite?

More than one tale exists of a spirit healer being fooled by a demon masquerading as a benevolent spirit, and inadvertently bringing them across the Veil... or being tricked into letting down their guard, and possessed.

On the flip side, Lucanis is not a mage(?) but if he needed help or something idk- and he was tricked and possessed that way - tricked by 'Love'? Owch, the loss of trust there...

Oh and if Spite just a spirit of Love that was corrupted by Lucanis' own feelings? Like how Justice twisted into Vengeance(?)

We know Lucanis is relearning how to trust, and he's a romantic.

How can you trust others If you don't trust yourself? Spite feels like intrusive thoughts made manifest... And how can you Love others if you have no Love left for yourself? Spite seems to be chipping away at Lucanis slowly... he looks so tired.

What exactly happened to him, I wonder, I can't wait to find out cause it's gonna hurt...

#please dont take this too seriously i dont know half of what I'm talking about I just wanted to wite some thoughts down #i have only read the wigmakers job once and lucanis wiki page #so i dont really know much of the intricacies of his story or what we have been given so far as i dont want to spoil myself #but i did think after reading the wigmakers job that yeah someones put that dog in him #lucanis #lucanis dellamorte #datv spoilers #veilguard spoilers #dragon age spoilers #datv #please don’t spoil anything for me in the tags or replies LOL #im just rambling a little #<3 #I see bits of myself in Lucanis I think thats why I got brain worms #but we usually project onto characters dont we? we all just want to be known #dragon age the veilguard spoilers #dragon age the veilguard

Inspired by @pistachi0art ‘s infection au :0!

What if mushrooms??

#we cool beans art show #doodles #hlvrai #hlvrai benrey #gordon hlvrai #creepy tag #body horror #hlvrai au #eye contact #infection au #mushroom infection #dont really have a story i was just inspired to draw the horrors #havent drawn horror art in a good bit so this was a good excuse too lol #i have another like. actual hlvrai horror au that i made like. half a year ago #but it involves a looot more body horror. so like. idk.#but anyways for this mushroom infection all i have is #mushroom spores that infect people who inhale too much of it #like pistacios au its a xen desease that causes violence and confusion but different #because Benrey is from xen the spores are already designed to take over his body and control him.#something that wiped out Benreys race #but because humans are not native to xen they only become spore carriers #the worst for humans is confusion. exaustion #and slow death #but the mushrooms cant control them like it can organizsmz from xen #so. thinking an ailen infected with spores shows up in Black Mesa. Benrey is wary of the creature seeing the spores #science team want a closer look dispite Benreys panic.#gordon had inhaled spores and was infected. another parallel to pistacios au #Gordon grows extra exausted only to start growing mushrooms. later getting Benrey infected #Benrey doesnt explain the horrors until its too late for him #Black mesa becomes hellish mushroom jungle and Benreys hunting the team for sport. all the while everyones dying anyways

I see a pattern in my fav characters

Secondary character important but often overshadowed by their main cast friends, definitely not the writer’s favorite child with half a backstory flashed out enough to make them interesting but vague enough i can take my own spin on it without feeling out of place

Bonus point if they constantly switch between sweet and unhinged
