#i mattered to the ant....

oh, no, i have no concept of the size of a whale or of the galaxy. i am cosmically insignificant, which is fine. the other day i accidentally spilled a few grains of sugar on the counter. i watched a single ant heft it over his head and run with it - run! - like he was carrying a crown.
sometimes when i am watching the rain i think about how each particular drop is new and only exists for right-now and yet it is the same water as it has been for millennia. the atoms i am are only meeting in this form for this one life. later maybe they will be a mushroom. maybe in the infinite expanse of time, two of my molecules will meet each other again and they'll say i remember existing with you. which is maybe how a star feels, watching humans dance and laugh and sing in the bodies we are borrowing.
what am i in the cosmic sense? what of the stupid human exploits of my tiny human life?
the other day i found a wilting bumblebee and fed it a little water. after an hour, he made a lazy loop of flight. up and towards the stars.
#writeblr#i mattered to the ant....#....i mattered to the bee...#i witnessed the rain...#.... who knows. perhaps the rain witnessed me....

I know those eyes.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#Sibling similarity but you only see it when you realize they have the same soggy eyes.#These two always struck me as a bit of a play on Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli for 'siblings who contrast each other.#But after spending a lot more time marinating on Wen Ning I actually think they are way more similar that is initially apparent.#Sure their surface level personality traits are pretty contrastive. But they both are so willing to risk their lives for what's right#Who raised them? In a story so full of examples of how parents shape their children - why are these two lacking in parents?#I imagine that Wen Qing is the older sibling and so her morals of 'help those who need it no matter who they are' got passed a long.#But how did *she* arrive there? Was that instilled within her or was it a reaction against bearing witness to callousness and cruelty?#We'll never know..the only thing I can say for certain is Wen Qing is *so* soggy in the audio drama.#She's like the ant with the bindle. It's a hell of a way to bring a previously sharp tongued character back into the narritive.#Side note: Thank you all for being so patient and kind while I took my break!#It's been a very chaotic few weeks and I didn't realize how bad my burnout was getting. I'm back and ready to keep drawing again!

vision impaired celegorm (with guide dog huan) is great not only because “celegorm the fair” with granny miriel’s albinism but because he’s not scowling intimidatingly at you… he is squinting all the time cause he can’t see shit.
#silmarillion#silm#tolkien#get this man some corrective sunglasses STAT#but you may ask. How does he become the greatest hunter of the noldor#If he can’t see for shit#To you I say#He speaks bug and these ants are snitching all the time#That deer is 30 degrees south west of you big man#get its ass it ate the leaf I wanted#Plus huan is good at his job#Plus plus elven hearing is probably bonkers#Feanor invents sunglasses and celegorm becomes the inspiration for the 😎 glyph#finrod is constantly confused as to how celeg is able to find him no matter what conditions they’re in#The answer is that Finrod can be tracked by sparkliness and fancy elf cologne that he probably launders his clothes in#Celegorm

The giant ant is complete, and it turned out so much better than I’d even imagined! It’s also surprisingly easy to comfortably carry around, which I did not expect
#sewing#handmade#plushie#ant tw#bug tw#insect tw#because this thing turned out way more realistic than I thought it would#like. not entirely realistic but more than I usually manage!#ant plushie#giant ant plushie#it is very soft and very cuddly and it has so many legs#that if you pick it up no matter how you pick it up it kinda feels like it’s trying to hold onto you#because at least one leg will wrap around your arm#it also use all but small scraps of a half yard of fabric for the legs antennae and mandibles#and that’s not even counting the fabric for the head and body#I’ll get pictures with the worms and with me holding the ant soon#I just want to have better lighting and a different shirt#today’s shirt is not exactly one I’d wear around company lol

okay im kinda stupid but I don't think selfshipping with Judge Claude fucking Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame, is a good idea
#did we forget about the scene where he compared romanis to ants and explained his motivation of exterminating them to phoebus or?#idk when the character is directly inspired by irl religious zealots that persecuted romani people and other ethnic groups#i would not go for it. like at all#its not even a mild part of his character. that is a VERY big part of his conflict and goals#his point as a character is to be a criticism of the catholic church and religious extremism#all of his actions in the film reflects this real ideology that effects real people#“i have bad taste <3”....he attempted gen0cide in the film. yeah that is bad taste#(talking about the film. i heard the book includes more dark subject matter but im referring to the movie here)#worth the block. sorry it just bothered me#[just me yapping]

The vampire/human yaoi I have concocted in a lab, view them
#if you want blood sucking im afraid you may not find it in this yaoi.....#Ante likes blood type O but Ryn is blood type A so he tastes like rotten eggs to him im afraid </3#also Ante is kind of a pussy i dont think he can break skin w his teeth if he so much as scratches anyone he cries and apologizes profusely#he gets blood donations from classmates 😭😭😭#he tells everyone he needs constant blood transfusions for his pet dog and theyre like ☺️☺️#thats not how it works........ but no ones going to say anything they just give him blood. he must be fed !!!!#ryn is like god this guy is so STUPID i want him (<as if ryn himself isnt dumb as bricks)#when ryn first meets ante everyone tells him no matter how weird ante is ...ryn must NOT say anything abt it#and ryn is like Huh bc usually hes the weird one but hes like ok. and then he meets ante and 30 mins in he texts a classmate#and the classmate forwards the message to the class groupchat (minus ante)#and ryn is basically like hey this is kinda crazy but is this guy a vampire . and everyone's like yes but dont say anything abt it#because it might hurt his feelings like hes trying so hard to pretend to be human yknow its like. the morally correct thing to do#this is just a romcom they are silly#ocs

This is just a thing I see on my internet romps every now and then but it drives me crazy for no reason, bare with me. Why do people draw lines in the sand about different kinds of therians lol? Who cares if someone woke up and decided that they're wolf therian or something when you decided unconsciously you were a wolf therian instead. Why do people fight about whether or not someone can choose to be therian, its the most silly gatekeeping I see. And don't come at me saying "well theres this label for chosen therians because they're not actual therians like me" you guys... made these terms up in the first place it literally doesn't matter. There is absolutely zero difference between a chosen therian and a not chosen therian and you can't convince me otherwise. How would a self proclaimed "real" therian know that they didn't just choose to be therian one day, there's absolutely no way you can know that for sure.
Every time I become curious about a subculture there's always some ridiculous gatekeeping, even objectums seem to fight over silly bullshit.
#yes I know there's a part of the community that values more spiritual beliefs#but i'm talking more in a tangible sense#there's no difference between the two that anyone can tell so why does it matter at all#like actual religions aren't even this strict when it comes to this stuff#even closed practices tend to have a tangible thing you can assign yourself to like genetics or being let in by someone#I suppose I'm of the belief that everyone chooses to be therian in a sense#even if it was from a young age#you're influenced by your environment#otherwise more people would be totally random animals like ant or earth worm therian#and thats not to say I view it as any less real I just view it as a more psychological thing rather than anything spiritual#and I believe I have the right to believe in that just as much as a spiritual therian does

the way the world of deltarune treats darkners reminds me of bugs. you can kill a butterfly, end its entire life in an instant. it has no way of knowing this will happen. it is just existing and then suddenly its life is cut short. and literally nothing will change. there will be absolutely no consequences for you doing this. you just killed and nothing will come of it. nobody will ever notice.
you are not locked into the snowgrave route until you kill a lightner. all of those other lives didn't matter; they are "beneath" you.
...that or they're just not dead because "snowgrave" is labelled as fatal and iceshock is not, and also freezing is a thing that happens to computer programs sometimes so you're really just incapacitating them for the time being which kinda sucks but you're not like murdering them it's not super duper significant
#i actually wrote this initially about an ant. but i feel far fewer people have killed a butterfly#people see a butterfly as 'more important.' it's more alive. it matters more. but this is just because of its beauty#where we see beauty we see innocence. it feels repulsive to kill a butterfly but if you kill an ant it's just 'oh.'

I don't think that the reason why Number One's homunculus came out perfect and everyone else's was defective is that No1 had a ""Superior"" extra wrinkly guinness record brain or whatever the fuck. It's most likely because, you know, the UG facility's research was probably way better funded and carefully, well, researched, and picked out just one individual to focus on cloning -- on the other hand, KW's Project: Homunculus was unbelievably fucking rushed because Huesca wanted so bad to have one over the unified government he just started raw dogging the experiments and collected the DNA of almost every single person in that city because even if their homunculi do come out a bit undercooked at least they've got the numbers babyyyyy take that unified fuck. I think more thought and care went into building all these damn clone pods we saw for all of them than their actual creation. "something unexpected occured in our efforts to find suitable DNA" -> "i will die in approx. 20 seconds and STILL I won't admit I any% blind speedran playing god and failed due to the easily foreseeable consequences of my abysmal choices. It's actually a dna skill issue on those defects fuck them pinkies my final message. goodbye"
#massive passionate love-hate relationship with Huesca that guy really just made the biggest impact in the game#consistently became worse with every scene he appeared in and. I CANNOT in simple terms state how much he fucking. I can't. I can't.#it makes sense of him to do... *that* with the homunculi considering he was explicitly said to use unwilling persons as test subjects#for weapons and also his own escape from KW after the fact. He has absolutely zero regard for human life already#fuck you huesca i love you huesca don't come near me or my family huesca#mine#rain code#why does nobody talk about Huesca he's like mdarc's most influential villain right after the UG. Yomi takes 3rd place only lol#no matter how much Yomi tries he will never be that guy. *shouting* YOU ARE NOTHING BUT AN ANT BENEATH HUESCA'S MAGNIFYING GLASS❗❗❗

the king in yellow: i don't hate humans, i'm indifferent to them. they are but ants to me and it would be beneath me to feel any sort of emotions toward such meaningless creatures
also the king in yellow: i have never hated anything as much as i hate this one (1) british man, so much so that i'm making it my personal mission to torment him to hell and back and pull him apart atom by atom for the rest of all eternity
#//juri speaks#juri's malevolent#malevolent podcast#he's just so fucking funny jskdlfjskd like i know i'd also probably go on a fucking rampage if an ant managed to steal part of my soul#but just. john's description about how little humans mattered to him as the king compared to the king's actual behavior later is incredible#malevolent spoilers#(? mostly bc i have yet to drag everyone into the pit with me)

hope season 2 has a plot point where a new witch or demon warlock whatever gets annoyed with the boys and crystal and so they do a spell that binds them to wherever their bodies are separating them and also then we get to see that
a. Edwins body has been gathering dust in the basement of the school shoved in a box in the wall out of sight out of mind and we get to see more flashbacks/trama with that (maybe even some mention of his parents a letter or a vist) but we also get a cont scene of charles choosing edwin over death and yeah the demon that took him is around cause the portal was open and he was summoned so he can come and go feedin on the torment the kids cause eachother thats amplifyed by his presence could go either way hes actually chill or he wants to take edwin back because the boy who escaped hell twice fetchs for a high price
b. Charles is stuck in the graveyard/town he grew up in buried with a small cracked headstone with simply his name and dates. We get more flashbacks of charles childhood maybe it isnt all bad but the darkness of his father always looms the man isnt even dead and yet theres a dark force he creates. He gets to see his mom up close when she sneaks out to vist his grave could be a touching moment that she gets to see charles since sadly shes probably dying and seeing her boy still young and happy makes it so when she does past on or tragically she doesnt get to hear or see him but he leaves a sign for her
meanwhile crystal has jenny help her find her friends while also trying to figure out how to break the stupid curse between edwins books the cat king or going after the curser head on
#plus i mean comfort sweer scenes no matter who gets saved first#the dead boy detectives#dead boy detectives#edwin payne#charles rowland#crytal palace#ant posts stuff

Late Night Talking
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#MDZS#wei wuxian#lan wangji#This scene had massive 'we are the only two people still up at the sleepover' energy#thought let me set the record straight; wwx doesn't open up in the scene. He fully deflects#Nor does LWJ play with ants B*(#I wanted to merge the two scenes a bit that's all#My OG script was a bit funnier but it broke continuity so rip (i.e: wwx outright stated 'remember when YOU...' in reference to the ants)#also rip to lwj saying 'hey U up?' like he's texting his crush. I hope the spirit is still there#We all know lwj sticks to his 9pm bedtime no matter what#and wouldn't be traditionally texting on a cellphone#He wakes up at 4:30 am to go for a run#gets home at 5:30 to use the lan household computer to go on his shared google doc with wwx and comments 'are you still awake?'#cause lets me real. wwx might also keep a steady sleep schedule but at least he *can* pull an all-nighter#Can you imagine lwj at a sleepover? I admit to being the kid who went to bed and woke up 3-4 hours before the others#you either get fed up and wake someone else up for enrichment - or plan ahead to bring a book - or Walk Home#I fully missed out on all that deep heart to heart stuff. I usually was the one to go 'guysssss we are gonna get in troubleeee go to sleep'#wait this is too much sleepover talk I need to talk about wwx in the last panel. It's a mix of panic and pride.#He's just at the beginning of realizing this guy has changed a lot in 13 years#gonna be a while before more comic pages get posted but they're ready to go in the queue!#(I'm still posting other stuff daily though!)

Either Will or Kaiko magically change height like every other episode. I am more bothered about this than i should be, but it kinda annoys me when character's heights aren't consistent
Here Kaiko's leaning forward, and still reaches to like half of Will's head
Here she's standing up straight and reaches right above his shoulders
I somehow like always notice these things in shows and it always annoys me
#I really should not care#but it's annoying#i'm ranting about things that don't matter instead of doing my homework#I should really stop doing that#but ranting about random things is more fun#the deep cartoon#the deep 2015#kaiko nekton#will nekton#fontaine nekton#ant nekton

an eternal classic
#gay spells lol do you also point out wet water and sweet sugar#though on discworld you would have to point out wet water to spite the famous dry water#sketch#ponder stibbons#all magic is inherently gay so most sorcerers are born during june my source is that i have mildly neutral revelations daily#i couldn't help it i shoved rincewind into here aswell#<- terry when writing a book about football and how society drags people down in different ways depending on the oppression theyre facing#mustrum ridcully#hex prefaces all their calculations with “hello gay people” now and ponder cannot get rid of that no matter the amount of ants manipulated#hope im not accidentally plagiarizing from anyone /srs

SHUT UP everyone SHUT UP. I just realized Venom is gonna be the first trilogy ever where I'll have watched every film in theaters during the original release. The first time EVER for me???
6 years. I was just finishing middle school and now I'm half way through college. And the whole time ive had the same interest in the world's most fuckable alien. There is not a single other thing that I have consistenty remained interested in in the past 6 years. And I get to watch 3/3 in theaters. How wonderful. How marvelous. Even if I DO have to sit between my straightest friend and my father. That's so crazy
#rehks rants#venom#the end of an era so literally#no matter what happens this weekend I will always love the first movie#if I can grow to love spiderman 3 (2007) I can love this movie no matter what#every other trilogy I caught the start or end of it#I didnt watch force awakens until I was on my way to last jedi#I watched ant man for the first time on a plane#and honestly they just dont make that many trilogies these days they're all mcu which means not a real trilogy#I was born too late to see the hobbit or lotr or the matrix in theaters but venom#idk venom recaptures the magic of rami spiderman for me#obviously its not as good but it tells its story in a similar way and updated to fit the times better#and everyone thinks its shit 😊#plus they kept him out of no way home which was the best thing for him#that little bit of time was perfect even tho it still makes no fucking sense for him to be there#ok ok this post is not about my growing resentment for no way home

*getting in with a rose in my mouth* tell us about the ✨breakfast fic✨
EXCUSE ME ANT YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT THE BREAKFAST FIC IS 👿
I suppose this is fair payback for when I tag you in these when I know you're writing Torture cave goodness.
Ahem.
The breakfast fic is PWP, the morning after a night, Sifo-Dyas and Dooku wake up together and have, uh, a nice breakfast. In this part, they're actually still in bed. Cut for smut so enter at your own peril:
“Sorry,” Sifo-Dyas grinned. “Just checking to see if you were still alive.”
“With which part were you checking?” Dooku stretched languidly.
“My eyes.” Sifo-Dyas made an attempt to sound sweet and innocent as he straddled him, taking the opportunity to pin Dooku while he was still waking up and vulnerable to such attacks. His partner’s larger body felt warm and solid between his legs. It was good to look down, see all of his muscled chest and abdomen, his duelist’s arms, to feel all that potent energy under him, but for once, made calm. And if Sifo-Dyas touched the Force, he could feel he was pleased to see him, in spite of his teasing.
“Your eyes. Ah. Of course.” Dooku used the position to his own ends, reaching into his sleep pants and finding what he wanted. “Forgive my assumptions. I must have been mistaken.”
“Stars,” he sucked a breath as Dooku’s calloused thumb circled the sensitive head of his cock, as if to make some roundabout point, and then stroked him. He let his head tip back, his hips rocking forward in time with Dooku’s motions without his permission. “That’s so nice…”
“I know.” Dooku's smug reply was half a purr, half a rumble, low and rough with sleep. He didn’t stop. "Did I hear Jocasta leave?”
“--had to go to the Archives...” Sifo-Dyas murmured, trying to maintain the casual conversation and resist fully thrusting into that obliging palm. His plans for not escalating this wake up into a sexual encounter were rapidly devolving. “There’s breakfast.”
“Mmn.” Mild disapproval. Dooku did not usually eat until he’d been awake for several hours.
“...there’s caf?” he tried again.
“Hmm.” More approvingly. “I want a shower first.”
Actually, a shower did sound nice. They had fallen asleep in a collective tangle last night, the sweat drying on their skin. “Can I come?”
"Oh," Dooku’s eyes flicked up from his task with a very interested expression, “...yes.”
Sifo-Dyas choked on a laugh, in spite of his compromised condition. “--come join you in the shower, I meant.”
“Oh.” Dooku reconsidered. “Yes.”
#nsft#going through some fun asks I didn't get to because last week got crazy#nothing matters so why not have some PWP#thank you Ant I love you Ant everyone say thank you Ant#save me syku#this is actually jocasta/dooku/sifo-dyas but you can't tell at this point
