“Red is the sun, Blue is the moon” “Blue is the sun and Red is the moon-“

OKAY, but what if Red and Blue are the moon and the sea??? What if the moon is seen as quiet and mysterious, while the waves can crash and sway?? What if the sea is always reaching for the moon but is never able to quite make it there?? What if the moon gets to be so high and ethereal while the sea’s insecurities keep it tethered to the ground-?? What if the moon is a lonely figure, unable to reach the Earth and Sea because they’re forced to be the moon?? What if the storms block the moon and seas from even seeing each other??? What if the moon influences the ocean to change and adapt??

What then fuckface??

With people watching bluey, I wonder how the kaiba bros would react. I know Seto would be calling it childish and not want to watch it at all. Mokuba would have to be the one to convince him to watch it. I feel like they would cry. Not like shed a few tears cry but like bawling and crying so hard they throw up. It doesn't even have to be one of those hard hitting episodes. Just something showing them playing and having a normal childhood. idk they just have a lot of trauma to unpack.

barbie is one of the best aroace characters ive seen on the big screen yet. in a world where aspecs are slowly getting more recognition, hence increasing the targeted negativity from others that comes with not confirming to societal standards, having such a well known character not only have no interest in sex or romance while others in her environment do, but showing that her lack of romantic or sexual feeling is not something that stands in the way of her being her true fulfilled self sends a powerful message against amatonormativity. in this essay i will

my personal atsv hobie brown hc is that this boy can build a watch that enables the wearer to travel to any dimension they want to, made entirely out of cobbled up parts he "finds"

but anytime anyone brings up AI or algorithms or social media he pretends to be 100 years old

hobie: what's a bloody "snapchat"? fuckin 'ell those effects are nightmarish, mate

miles, exasperated: hobie, you BUILD TECH that astrophysicists in my dimension can't even replicate. how are filters on a phone trippin you up?

hobie: dunno, everyone's got their strengths n weaknesses, i 'spose... 🙄😒

Was having some role reversal thoughts on my twitt so I'm just gonna copy-paste them here as well

I like Decepticon Bumblebee AU's but I do think if you're going to do them you should have Soundwave switch to being an Autobot so that both sides still have rival spy/scout combos & also bc a roleswap between those two would be really cool to explore how the team dynamics change

Soundwave is a very formal person with a more 'mechanical' speech and doesn't usually take part in shenanigans BUT he's also a single parent of at least 4 casette children and this nuance opens up a world of really interesting ways that they can have a personal arc

On the flipside, Bumblebee is a much more fun-loving person who is always down for some shenanigans and would be the only con who isn't physically strong [with strength being something the cons usually value most above all else] BUT he's also a massive risktaker and very intelligent which would be really fun to see from an antagonist POV

Add to this, both Bumblebee and Soundwave are known for their intense ride-or-die loyalty to their respective bosses, and there is something very juicy about swapping who those loyalties are for and how that changes the boss-scout relationship

Is Optimus as close to Soundwave as he usually is with Bumblebee or are they strictly professional, and does Soundwave rat out the other bots for 'misconduct' or for questioning their leader? Does Bumblebee spy on the other cons for Megatron to weed them out like Soundwave would or is he more likely to keep some things a secret to uphold peace in that faction?

Just a lot of really cool ways it can be explored is all I'm saying

Marineford goes from extremely tragic to hilarious if you think of it like a DnD complain.

Ace’s player and Luffy’s player are actual brothers.

Ace started playing in late high school / freshman year of collage his first campaign was with the spade pirates but the group fell apart because the other players got job/ went to different schools / just life.

But Ace loved his character and wanted to keep playing. His friend, who played Masked Deuce, wanted to keep playing as well but wanted his character to be more combated focused. So he created the character of Marcos. (Both doctors and first mates, both friends with Ace) They got some new friends and kept playing in the same world just with a new crew

Whitebeard’s player is definitely Marco’s players actual dad. They need another player and Whitebeard loves his son and was like “I’ll play!” He either knows nothing about the game or has been playing since the 80’s and is the most knowledgeable person at the table. There is no in between.

The DM is probably Shanks or Rayleigh. I like to think it’s Shanks and his level 20 character he’s had for years just pops up occasionally to solve problem that the party needs help with.

Anyhow Luffy has heard Ace talk about DnD for years but he doesn’t have any friends to play with. So when he goes to college it’s like his number one goal.

Make friends,

make friends play DnD.

(We will talk about the Strawhats chaos later)

So everything’s going great. Ace visited Luffy and joined in on a few of their sessions. Still plays Ace, he loves this character, he’s played him for like four years now. But he gets to know Luffy’s friends and joins them for a bit in Alabasta.

He goes back to his campaign and tells the whole group about Luffy (he has been for years but now he can talk about Luffy’s complain) and everyone wants him to bring Luffy around to play with them.

But then tragedy. The whitebeards have to disband, most of them are graduating, Marco’s player is going to med school it’s just going to be a long time before they can all sit down and play again.

So they decided to go out with a bang!

The Dm has Ace get captured and they plan this elaborate jail break for the party. But it just so happens Luffy is going to be on break at the same time as their last few sessions. And wouldn’t it be great if he joined them!

So the Dm (they are Dming both games god bless them) has the strawhats split up (they are all going on break and it’s a fun story reason for why they all won’t be together) then he pulls Luffy aside and is like, how do you feel about playing with your brother’s group? Luffy’s pumped he’s never been so excited.

So Luffy does all of impel down. Ace is there cheering him on and having fun role play at the same time. His friend Jinbei had wanted to try playing for a while so they gave him a character card and him and Luffy escaped Jail together.

But then we get to the actual Marineford season. It last for hours. There’s combat. There’s roll play. What none of the players knew, was that Whitebeard had approached the Dm about his character dying in combat protecting his kids. (He wanted this to be a memorable session for his son and his friends, they all cried, they loved it)

But then Ace get caught up in it all (this was not planed) and ends up getting his character killed. The table is in shock. There is no way that just happened!

Luffy is sobbing. His brother just sacrificed the character he had played for four years to save his character. He knows how much Ace means to his brother. He’s an actual reck. He had loved Ace to.

Ace’s player is upset, he did love that character, but it’s part of the game. It happens. He’s more upset about how hard Luffy’s taking it.

After the session the two brothers are hanging out. Luffy is apologizing for getting Ace killed and his brother, who’s played for years, and wants to make his brother laugh, says no worries want to help me make a new character?

So they spend the break writing a new character and working them into Ace and Luffy’s back story.

Later when the strawhats are all back together (breaking the news to them that Ace’s character had died was wild!) they are playing and making their way to Dressrosa. A new friend, Law, has joined them. And he is being so serious about his character’s serious back story.

Then Ace’s player roles in like “can I join for a session or two?” All the Strawhats are thrilled, they had a great time playing with him during the Alabasta arc. The Dm says sure and asks about his character.

The two brother’s just smirk at each other and the player introduces his new character: Sabo

They explain the back story, this is Luffy’s OTHER big brother. The strawhats are dying. Law is over them, this is serious! The Dm is just exasperated “you don’t have the Mera Mera fruit.” He’s trying to drive home that this is a different character. Ace/Sabo’s player agrees and they start playing.

Except the Dm loves to troll and brings in the Mera Mera fruit. And everyone already knows what’s about to happen.

Sabo eats the fruit and his player yells “thank god” throws Sabo character sheet to the side. And before anyone can ask why he pulls back out Ace’s character sheet crosses off Ace’s name and writes Sabo next to it (he also raises his intelligence stat)

Character name: Ace Sabo

“I’m back baby!”

I just love that anytime he pops in him and Luffy just say the most ridiculous things about their back stories.

“Remember how Ace had a tattoo of his name spelled wrong to show that he’s not book smart. Well that was a lie. He did it to represent Ace, Sabo, Crybaby, and Edward Newgate.” Ace/Sabo’s player says with Luffy nodding aggressively besides him.

Whitebeard player find out. Finds it all hilarious and is flattered Ace/Sabo’s player brought his character into their nonsense.

Every now and then Marco and Ace/Sabo will come play at the same time and Marco always ends up calling Sabo Ace for the whole session.

Hi! Hope you're doing well. I really like the way your art looks, and wanted to ask if you have any advice on how to stop the endless ctrl+Zing that happens when you're doing lineart? (Was gonna post a gif showing it but it won't let me send links in asks) -- Have a good one o/

I hope this was what you were referring to ^^’

I’m not the best person to ask about ctrl-Zing haha, but I hope this is something that can help!

[cranity]

hi hi I love your art and I was wondering if you had any tips on good anatomy that looks convincing and dynamic poses ? Your art always looks so fluid but solid like nothing looks weird anatomy wise you know?

Have a lovely day/night 🌻

ty!! i think aside from the age old answer of just 'studying' i like to think of the drawing subject as stretchy and almost like putty. so when i'm trying to put energy in a piece i think how the force of all this movement kind of bends/warps/stretches objects outside of limits that are physically possible realistically Like when you take a fisheye photo, you can tell what that object is, it's just bent in ways it wouldn't be IRL, so I do that in art, bending and curving and stretching limbs to convey the movement and energy more than portray a realistic picture

[vitaetmorsfilo]

i wonder, could be that slay the princess, which as far as i understand it about a lot of things but i think most of all is about choices, could also be about art?

the thing that gets me intrigued is that the princess herself has said that she is what player perceives her to be, "if you believe i can do it, then i can", and that what makes the shifting mound, different perspectives of her

that sounds to me a lot like commentary on some modern art nowadays, that modern art is not just a thing, but your feelings towards it that shapes it. there was a little comics snippet, where man was looking at malevich's square and called it useless, and the second panel was the painting itself screaming at man that he is useless (i can't for the love of me find it). so, the mans feelings towards the picture shaped the picture itself in his mind.

some may say that it is what is art, a sort of conversation, an exchange between the piece of art and the viewer.

and i think it falls neatly into place the dynamic between the princess and the hero/player. the former is the art, in all it expanse and variety, while the latter is the viewer, who brings it clarity, whose feelings shape the world around this art in one moment of a time, while having conversation not just with art, but themselves, too.

if u ever wanna yap abt ace im here to listen 🫶🏼🫶🏼

you’re the sweetest for letting me ramble

actually i’ve been thinking about ace and how bad sex is when you first get together STAY WITH ME!!

he just wants it to go well so bad. ace has so much of his self-worth tied up in what he can do for you. if there’s anything he can do to make your life easier or better, he’d do it in a heartbeat.

but all that means is that the first time you undress each other and fall into bed, all his attention is focused on you. he makes you cum on his fingers and his tongue more than you can count but every time you try to reach out and touch him, ace is pulling away. he doesn’t think he deserves it, not yet, not when he can do better.

it’d probably get to the point where you feel a little alone cause while yes, he’s touching you and making you feel good, ace is concentrated to the point of being distant and quiet.

it may take awhile for him to grasp that sex isn’t something he does to you but with you. even when he does start to be more present, it’s still an uphill battle cause he’s terrified of what you’ll see if he’s that vulnerable with you.

eventually, being that open and connected with you will be as easy as breathing and sex will be fun and fulfilling for both of you but it takes a lot of work for both of you to get there

I'm almost done with season 2 ( on episode 6 rn) and I felt so bad for making no contribution to this fandom since this is genuinely one of the best shows I've seen so uhm. Have a lyricpost that makes no sense I think

Interview with the vampire (2022-) II Cosmia by Joanna Newsom

[putuponpercy]

I need the episode where Edward spins a tale of a misbehaving engine that was so down right disobedient that after countless lectures and warnings fell on deaf ears its controller sent it away to have its smokebox door replaced and when it came back it had not only different personality but also a completely different face - like they're a different engine entirely and the one before that is gone.

And after Edward falls asleep the others joke and argue over whether there's any truth to it which - pah - of course there isn't right? Right?

A crash happens days later. There's damage. A lot of damage. There's whispers about needing a new smokebox door. Mass panic ensues. The railway's in shambles. Confusion from the left, delay from the right, disgruntled passengers forefront and center, and a very confused Fat Controller at the back wondering what has gotten into everybody because where are his engines?

Eventually one or several of them in panic ask the Fat Controller to try and repair the injured door rather than replace it because they don't want their friend to disappear which leaves him even more confused until Edward laughs and comes clean that he made the whole thing up and at that moment the injured engine comes back completely fine brand sparkling new smokebox door and all.

sorry analysis is so scary for me and this is like a weird scrapbook of a discord conversation i had earlier today but like thinking abt Eiji Hino and what OOO reveals about him so early on in the show. a disclaimer is that i’ve seen under 10 episodes of ooo so like. obviously i lack the full picture this is just personal observation cus to me eiji sticks out from other kamen rider protagonists from shows i’ve seen! and i find it fascinating!

putting it under cut cus it got yappy

besides gavv, i had only ever watched heisei 1 shows. ryuki, blade, kabuto and i’m currently watching kuuga while having seen roughly half of den o. ooo is my first time watching anything neo heisei and i’ve seen no completed reiwa shows (so i can’t compare shouma to how a reiwa protagonist is like for example) ! enough like. background information my point is

To me Eiji Hino is not the typical primary rider. While I ultimately think his heart is in the right place his attitude towards saving others differs from early heisei “i protect others because i love humanity/love people/love this world” or any kind of variation on that sentiment. I took note of Eijj telling Hina pretty early on he saves people because he’s afraid he might regret it if he doesn’t.

So what does this tell me about Eiji? I feel like in a show all about greed and desire he’s holding back his true feelings. He’s not the hero because he feels any particular way about being one and being proactive but because he fears the person that would make him and his regret. I don’t think he’s a cruel person or an indifferent person at all. He shows a shit ton of kindness for his fellow humans as he has a lot of empathy for victims of the greed and regularly bickers with ankh about it. But he kinda carries this misery to him under a cheery carefree demeanor. He doesn’t want to let himself feel bad about things, because would it then force him to look at himself?

He doesn’t seem to want things. I don’t think he lets himself have these desires because he personally thinks he doesn’t deserve to be tied down and have a place of belonging. While pondering this I thought about how he was unlike other riders for his attitude on being a hero differing from characters like Godai and Shinji. It has a mild kick of “this is just the right thing to do and nothing more” but now that I think about it more he’s really just a good kamen rider protagonist too cus he has all those isolation from humanity type of feelings. I guess my point is 7 episodes in I can sense he has smth wrong with him and won’t let himself be happy.

But he will smile like a dumbass and bicker with Ankh and try to help Hina the best he can even if there is something he’s holding back and then he can allow himself to pretend there’s nothing wrong <3 clocking his depressive vibes when he’s done nothing but smile 👍

I've always been curious - how exactly does it work, being a God and all? Do you hear Prayers like a weird sort of Telepathic telephone? Similarly; does your Chaos extend to the Natural sort - like the Chaos Theory for instance in regards to Weather? I seem to remember either in the Edda or Lokasenna you being able to produce Earthquakes, but is that just pure Myth?

"Mmm. What a thought-provoking question. I don't think each deity or pantheon has the same relationship with ...believers? Acolytes? Worshipers? It depends upon the affinity that mortals have with certain of their own qualities...and then they sort of cosmically calibrate themselves to whatever god or gods might reflect their needs best. It is really very symbiotic, even when we don't realize it. Even disciples who believe they are being punished for breaking various sacred rules...have some use for that kind of being. I would not go so far as to say that our worshipers create us, but they obdscute their own view of other higher forms and choose each of us us quite deliberately. So a Lokean might seek me out because my skepticism of...ahh, how shall I....yes, my skepticism of untouchable traditions, beings beyond reproach, and old stagnant ways....mortals with similar tendencies going to choose me, and also to communicate their needs with me by modeling my values. Our relationship will reflect that."

Loki gnaws on his bottom lip, working an ancient callus on his left palm with his right fingers.

"I suppose that's rather abstract, but I don't feel I can speak for all of us in all worlds, all dimensions, unilaterally. Not now that I have actual, literal scope of infinity."

He breathes a wry laugh; it radiates in soft loamy waves from his being. The sound of a magpie's wings taking hasty flight; the sound of dry leaves underfoot in a deep obscure woodland. Like he's said, it suits him. It suits what he stands for and who he is.

"I will hear the prayers of people who are cunning and adaptable, not easily deterred, capable of returning in cycles to themselves even as everything changes, louder than I might hear the prayers of someone who better embodies my brother Thor, or Athena from Olympus, or the descendants of Abraham in their palmy deserts of Midgard. You could say it's more a feeling than something literally audible, and earnestness goes a long way."

Jade eyes glitter and he fights a smirk.

"Whatever do you mean by 'pure myth,' child? You can't possibly be accusing me of theatrics....or, heaven forbid, exaggeration?"
