siffrin with birds!!!
...siffrin being taken away by birds!!!
who knows where they are going!
#in stars and time#isat#isat siffrin#i dont really have a good explanation#just wanted to draw siffrin with birds#and the next logical conclusion was to draw him being taken away by birds#according to my 3AM brain apparently#now that i think about it this can probably turn angsty. oops.#that is possibly a thought for another day lmao

btw i will forever recommend just. refusing to engage in discourse. its free its easy and you literally arent missing anything LMAO - 99% of discourse on here is just on the most pointless petty shit that literally doesnt mean a single thing to anyone in real life (i am looking directly at you "pRo/AnTi" shippers), and the other 1% is genuinely important shit... that isnt going to be solved in any productive way by insulting '''the other side''' online. arguing with strangers online never changes anyones mind all youre doing is making yourself *and* your cause look annoying as hell :thumbsup: maybe chill out. find a hobby.
#dont even get me started on how apparently this entire fucking site has never heard of nuance in its life#im ngl dude i think if youre boiling down a complicated topic to 'well this is the good side (my side) and then the BAD EVIL SIDE'#and putting anyone who even slightly falls out of line with your beliefs on the evil side#like. thats not gonna be productive in the slightest right. you understand that right#if you wanna have meaningful nuanced discussions with people you actually know about serious topics then go for it!#just dont drag random strangers into it#if i have to see one more post with dumb bullshit acronyms that everyones expected to know that insults anyone who doesnt blindly agree wit#them i stg#'if you dont agree with this then clearly youre a [evil side] who hates [group] and does [bad thing]. theres no other logical explanation#for you possibly not agreeing with me'#and theyre talking about the most obscure insane discourse youve literally never heard of before thatll be flooding your dash for the next#month#had to unfollow a really good artist because they just kep reblogging the most aggressive 'every [evil side] sucks and hates [good side] an#doesnt care about them and wants to oppress them'#(said '[evil side]' wasnt even a moral stance it was literally just something you were born as. like. you get how thats fucked up right)#which uh. sucked! especially since i was part of that [evil side]#anyway midnight rant over tldr uhhh discourse stupid go get hobbies#and if i ever mention what discourse topic inspired this post ill probably get torn apart LMAOO#(hint: its one of the stupid pointless ones)#me.txt

eeveryone says they love emo bitches until they meet one
#naruto#karin uzumaki#sasuke uchiha#team taka#sorry for the naruto fanart making up a fake jutsu. i just really think she needed one#brief explanation i like to imagine her cutting herself and then having her friends drink her blood instead of having them bite her#because i sooo do nottt like the biting thing it is really really bleak to me. no good. i'd love her to have a little agency over it.#secondary brief explanation i also wanted to switch up her freak dynamic with sasuke becauseeee one i dont like how it is#and two i feel that they are two sides of the same coin in the 'used for their bodies' way.#so therefore i think it would be interesting if karin had a bit of a power play thing going on in a similar wayy to sasuke.#or at least how i see him.#very longwinded in the tags you can see i am a bit too embarrassed to make a naruto opinion text post.#self harm cw#my art

im gonna fight the tvtropes veilguard fridge section but i dont have an account there so i will just complain on tumblr
like 1) varric made hawke his bussiness partner and is his bestie even if hawke sucks or is rude
2) varric was friends of anders FOR SEVEN FUCKING YEARS do you think in any point he could know what would happend. when they met, anders was having a free healthcare clinic risking his life to help people, how is that not being sure of his character. do you think varric now has a detector of "man this good person after several traumatic events WONT ever put a bomb in a building no matter what" . well according to da4 Yeah he got the perfect Good Person detector cause rook cant possibly do anything bad
#dragon age#there could be good explanations of why rook is always nice but is just. the Game made them this way#the varric excuses are the worst thing i ever heard pls this guy loves hawke#he is not a wholesome person surrounded by wholesome pure people he is just besties with criminals and underdogs#i understand he recruits someone for saving people but#you dont have to be Nice and have the most excellent emotional intelligence all the time to help people#wich this games forces you to#thats what sucks more for me ToT#like is not the “oh i cant be evil” is i cant be rude or lash out or be imperfect the way i want to#dragon age 2 let you lash out!! you could be mega niceys and get angry with your friends for the dead of your mother#and that fucking ruled#da4#veilguard critical#not really im critizing more tvtropes like#this was just a writing choice you can agree or not but i hate these explanations

watching playthroughs of a couple new indie horror games people are raving about rn and just sitting there after like oh thats it ?
#i swear im not trying to sound different im not a pick me i just dont get the hype bro😭#the artstyles and certain shots are great i love ps1 graphics and such but story/horror/scares wise? sure man whatever#also i dont think a troubling issue that lies in the underlying plot automatically makes a story good (wow brave concept kat) but idk#not naming games bc im scared of fandoms HAHA but if u can apply it to a game then thats what this post is abt as far as u know#i’ll still watch a bunch if explanation videos bc i like fully knowing the story but i already know the whole thing so#also disclaimer (?)#one could argue you need to actually play it instead of watching someone else do it but i dont feel like it HAHA#you dont really have to play the game yourself if youre still getting the same exact content you would otherwise#ive watched a lot of gameplay that i havent played and still think theyre great games#because i still experienced the gameplay just like... idk secondhand? doesnt really ruin the experience imo

if you draw enough monster ocs, when you go back to drawing a human character, it feels like "sameface syndrome" everytime, by virtue of their face being. human.
#toy txt post#or maybe i am just sameface syndrome#but also different face syndrome#two characters will have the same face but then the next time i draw those characters its a different face than they had last time!#i know part of it is being out of practice but also there is definitely an element of feeling constrained by human facial structure lmao#the monsters have Their Own Problems but like. no one has a face like bokrae no matter how inconsistent i am about drawing her#her features are iconic enough to her that you can tell everytime#birdie???? i faceclaimed eartha kitt for her and im still struggling cos i feel weird about faceclaiming as a concept#but even then 😭 one time i was trying to give headloose a face and someone was like wow he looks like birdie!#me 😭😭😭😭😭 what!!!!!! hes not supposed to!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i need to practice. features#you know the worst part about coming up w a bunch of fuckin Scenarios in my brain for ocs is that i have even fucking Drawn them yet#to give them like. iconic staple features and figure out what their faces look like. which feels like it would really help to have that#knowledge and muscle memory before i jump into trying to draw intense scenes with difficult poses!!#not to mention. listen. i can do the monster faces. somewhat. the bodies??????????? well for one. theyre too big everytime#im convinced i could be trying to draw bokrae on like a full ass wall size paper like a mural thing and run out of room. it just keeps#happening. i have no sense of scale for them either. by which i mean i struggle w scale already and also cant decide what i want it to be#and ive tried to handwave it away by being like ohhh uh. birdie casts spells on them to change their sizes for convenience but also#no. perhaps that explanation works for other ppl. @ myself tho its not good enough i Know Better!!!!!!#agh!!!!!!! i really need to figure out bokrae's Teeth also. like i dont. i coukd get away with it. but i should. and i want to.#anyway all this to say that i need to give these characters faces and body designs (actually the body designs for humanoid ocs is the easy#part. the faces are whats stumping me? well. i need more practice w all the body types again but like i Know what im Going For at least.#for the most part anyway. havent fully figured out heights. struggling w characters that i want to make short but give imposing tall energy#on occasion? birdie can be short all day long no problem. I want Alasdair to be short enough that he has a bunch of short boyfriends that#feel tall around him? bytte was going to be like 6ft max but then i thought about making her taller and like. what if i made her taller#headloose is not that /short/ but he is Not Tall and prolly pretty lean? twink build for sure#and of course all these short /tall distinctions come with a bias of relativity to my own height which i categorize as medium height#but short ppl call me tall and insist its not average and tall ppl call me short. (5'6) and then i have to factor in how the gender changes#the dynamic of a height like my height is Short For A Man but medium to tall for a Woman. which id argue is medium height bc mens heights#are socially held to high standards (hehe) and also i know ethnicity/race is also a factor? but im out of tags. rip. bye

Enemies to Lovers: Separate sides of the same battle. Will fight each other because they hate each other or what their cause stands for. Are fighting for different ends but eventually find a common ground where love blossoms.
Rivals to Lovers: The same side of the battle. Will fight each other because they do not understand the other person and want to beat them. Are fighting for the same end or to personally win, but they eventually find a common ground and love blossoms.
#if anyone has examples pls give them#im not really an enemies to lovers person but i love a good rivals to lovers#tbh i dont think they have that much differences and its just semantics but still#im an asshole that loves to try and add meaning to things#rivals to lovers is like klance or matchablossom or#OR LUMITY#enemies to lovers is like zuko x katara or hotwings or idk im not that into it#most of enemies to lovers incmudes redemption. an enemies and lovers is also interesting#note: theyre not exclusive. you can be both (usually as a enemies to rivals to lovers)#i think of sskk (different sides that evtyally come together for the same cause but the two still butt heads) (then kiss)#ssk might count??? the sheep were against the mafia... i think the enemies part is so short it doesnt matter#curlyboy would be rivals to lovers :3#anyways#enemies to lovers#rivals to lovers#enemies to rivals to lovers#explanation

Phullo it is I again!
I am very glad that you actually responded and given me an actual advice since I was worried about the question I sent you.
Though besides that I have another question for you (hoorayyy)!
So, about the reading books earlier- I’m fortunately a bookworm too! It’s just that I notice I prefer reading the genre science fiction/psychological horror more than… anything else!
And while the books I am currently reading, ‘Flowers For Algernon’ and ‘I’m Thinking Of Ending Things’ (these books are seriously so wonderfully made they make want to tear my walls), DO have romantic aspects of it- it’s not really the main plot of the story..
‘Flowers For Algernon’ has amazing storytelling and is very unique- though I’m not sure if you’ve read it before but, it’s actually just the main character taking notes. Hence why there was a lot misspellings which honestly makes it a great touch if you know the context behind it.
On the other hand, ‘I’m Thinking Of Ending Things’ too shares the same uniqueness as the other, possibly even more unique if I must say so myself. Though I REALLY don’t want to make my story similar to them since I want to make it more heart warming than fucked up..
Which is why I feel like I have the need to borrow or buy at least one romantic book because, I lack of it. I mean I accidentally borrowed it one time but it was kind of disappointing.
I don’t know if its a good idea and if I should do it or not since does it really matter of the genre, or just the writing?
Still, if you have any good books that are in the romance genre. Feel free to recommend some to me!
-lots of love, from another bookworm
welcome back! happy to hear you're a bookworm as well <3 im writing those titles down since i read a criminal lack of sci-fi despite loving it
i actually don't have any straight up romance recs - i don't actively search it out (outside of fanfic), so any romance i read just comes with whatever book i've picked up. just straight up romance bores me, unless its a fic with a pairing i actively like. and even then, i need to take breaks from it unless the romance is interspersed with an actual plot. im not a romantically-geared person! i dont have single Main Plot Is Romance book on my shelves!
but imo its really just the quality of writing that helps. ive never been in a romance, im the child of two different divorces, and yet ive been told that i write romance fairly well. go fuckin figure lmao.
so actually my advice on romance is to just like. wow idk what i do is pick apart the romances i see on tv / in writing. what makes them good together, how do they act around each other, what are their love languages, what's their dynamic, what traditional romance things do they partake in, what dont they partake in, do they have anything nontraditional, do they work and why do / they dont they - does that make their relationship more interesting or is it flat. are they a good match.
you don't have to have every answer, but ive found that at least understanding their characters / dynamics, and having them interact in a way that suits them will help your romance feel natural. dont conform to tropes or tradition, that will just make the relationship flat and unrealistic. and you can always sprinkle in little things that you like / would like, which will help ground the romance and get you into the groove
tldr with romance, i think it's better to observe real life (whether that's paying attention to couples or reading reddit threads) & analyze in-love or in-a-relationship characters instead of just reading romance novels. bc honestly, and from what i can tell, they can tend to be over the top or cookie cutter
just realized you did not explicitly ask for romance advice! Oopsie! i got a little carried away here....
#another thing i like to do is analyze bad fictional relationships / ones i dont like#both bc it gives me a concise argument / explanation if someone gets on me about it#and bc it helps me understand what makes good romances Good#bc bad relationships make me sit there and ask 'well. what went wrong here? why dont they work? why do i hate this? whats Missing?'#and filling in those gaps teaches me what Does work. what will go Right. why i Love it. what Is there.#sometimes the answer is simply bad writing & after taking a deeper look#i can conclude they they Are good for each other - the show/book just shoved them together with no reason other than#'need romance' or 'boy meet girl' or 'love at first sight'#i mean there are some romances that i look at it and im like 'wow! this should not be happening!'#but i Like it because its interesting enough! a good example is aline & the darkling from the grishaverse#such a fucking unhealthy relationship. really well written. fascinating. hot as hell. important for the story/characters.#i wanted to rip them apart but also glue them together to see how horrible the train crash would be!!!!#absolutely unprompted#so i mean... i think i can rec books that Have good romances in them? but thats not the focus by any means#lemme know... i know im less helpful this time around but i hope im helping a little!#feel free to ask as many questions as you like - ill do my best with all of them

okay i've been curious about ultrakill can ya sell me on it (if you're in the mood to ramble)
the beginning of the game offers you all the context you need to know; mankind is dead, blood is fuel, & hell is full. youre a robot with the model name 'V1' currently approaching hell in an effort to get the fuel you need. (blood is also used as a healing mechanic!) i'd say more, but seeing how things go down & figuring out the lore as you go is one of the things that made me really enjoy my time with the game.
it's an fps with a shit ton of weapons and movement mechanics that (despite how stressful it may be at first) come into play very well once you learn how everything works in part with one another. even if you don't get a good grasp on it, there are accessibility settings for everyone. difficulty settings, auto-aim, & a cheat mode really help! (do know that major assists will not let you achieve a perfect rank on levels. this doesn't include difficulty or auto-aim though) it's a really tough game when you first play, so expect to use at least one of these things.
the soundtrack for the game really heightens the experience & makes you feel so much.?!??!? the ost isn't for everyone, but i never enjoyed breakcore before i played this game so i suppose its worth a shot, even if you don't think much of it at first. going through the game & understanding some of the lore before coming back to the ost for another listen really changes a lot of things about it. the characters are really cool & with the way the story is going thus far, i'm. unnecessarily excited for future updates. there's still one more act in production along with a few more secret levels. so if you do end up playing the game and want more, (aside from the huge replay-ability the game offers) there is more to come! the fanbase is also surprisingly very nice. knowing my followerbase i should probably mention that this game has a quite a bit of homoeroticism if you look at a certain fight from a specific angle. im not gonna say anything though
ultrakill isn't a huge game, so don't go in with extremely high expectations, as again this game probably isn't for everyone. but as someone who hasn't played any fps before, i really, really enjoyed this game. it has a very serious tone, but there's tons of funny secrets that make it feel a lot more lighthearted at times. the devs put their whole heart and soul into this shit & the community is growing really fast! if youre thinking about getting the game, go for it. thy end is now!
#this isnt a really good explanation i didnt mention half the stuff that the game has mainly because i didnt know about it before i played#havent even touched on the religious stuff so know thats there too#i love this game to pieces but i dont want that to make people have really high expectations because no this game isnt perfect BUT IT-#-IS FOR ME LOL#also DONT go in expecting lots of dialogue or character interactions like yea it has these but its not like. hollow knight type talk#unless you play 2-S hehe#long post#kinda#ultrakill#i could explain a lot better but im busy painting

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki
#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk#like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions#while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized#but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama#and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction#i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me#anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa#and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan#ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places#and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls#i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show#they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation#theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets#back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame#plus over done#it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan#but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions#also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island#from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference#and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading#and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references#cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on#i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand#i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix#god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan#red is important in like many many asian cultures#i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches#like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan#but a lot of those comes from china in some way

..........is dirty laundry the reason ppl always have lance and keith care about star wars in fics : I
#im once again shaking my fist at the sky#keith has never given a single shit about something like star wars and i'll stand my ground on that#he's one of those people who just never watched it by chance and then if anyone was ever like oh u should watch it he'd be like nah#and the more insistent ppl got the more he'd be like actually fuck you all im never watching it on principle at this point#and lance? idk man. i dont even have a good explanation for why he wouldn't be obsessed i just know it in my bones.#he would have been like a transformers kid or something. and not just bc of the giant robot ok it's not bc they're voltron it's the vibe.#or like a ninja turtles kid.#or he'd really love bionicles in the way gay ppl do.#colleen thoughts

How the hell did Acensia get back to the Delta Quadrant / Solum with no warp and only a coffin sized vessel? Ain't no way she authentically beat Gwyn there who was equipped with a warp capable vessel**
So now there are two things that sort of call into question the integrity Janeway's worries in Voyager. 1. If a robot can zoom from the Alpha Quadrant allllll the way back to Solum in the Delta Quadrant no fucking problemo, then what was Janeway sooking about in Voyager. 2. If a man and his hologram can survive alone for 10 years, then why was Janeway so lonely during her 7 year long journey with an entire crew compliment. Gosh. **I'm not looking for a hackneyed answer, like 'maybe Acensia's robot used the transwap hubs'' Oh, did she? Was her coffin equipped for that? Or ''maybe she stole a ship'' When? Where? ''The Vau Nakat's technology is superior maybe--'' Nah, nah, nah they couldn't even leave their own orbit let alone utilize wormholes. Ain't no way. Make it make sense!!!!!! I understand that not everything has to be shown but sometimes it should be. They should have taken their time with things like this because it accidently has dire ramifications.
#NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MY MADNESS ABOUT THIS SHOW#what a mess and im the only one in the corner noticing it#its not even the j/c stuff which i also believe could have had more depth#my gripe is that these ideas were boldly implemented but have wider issues and ironically are like a thread being pulled#why did they choose to leave it behind it seems pretty important#acensia was really undercooked it would have been nice if they gave her an episode or hell a shot of her landing on solum but noooo#instead we had too much focus on the loom and on wesley which really didnt need to make this a good story in my not so humble opinion#im so at a loss as to why they chose prioritize a messy time travel/ multiverse story over just cleaning up their story points#im turning off reblogs because i dont really want a post-show explanation it's too late#Im 100% convinced the timing of everything is barely comprehensible
