BEHOLD. DAS BRUDERS
I cannot break the number one rule of Star Wars and post them separately. So here they are together, as it should be :D
Featuring: A totally-normal-looking Fives and Actual Ray Of Sunshine Cadet Echo, with whom I had to get creative while shading XD
Enjoy!!!
(part of this game)
hey! if you enjoy my work, please reblog it :)
#okay so the LINEART for fives might in fact be the best drawing i've ever done of him#but#the coloring. was. uh. DIFFICULT.#he's very green. as you can see XDDDDD#echo gave me zero problems except that he looked too Young and i couldn't figure out how to fix that so i just rolled with it#and went cadet-era#astute observers will see that echo's number is a bit mashed together. this is because apparently he had TWO SEPARATE numbers#at one point or another#and i was like. why would they change it. so i just welded them together like some kind of mad engineer and went with it#i kept his current canon number of 1409 but apparently his other number had a 21 prefix- which i kept cause it went with fives's 27 prefix#and in my mind. they have the prefixes cause they're twins. anyway canon can be whatever i want thank you and goodnight#star wars#star wars the clone wars#the clone wars#fives#echo#arc trooper fives#arc trooper echo#look at me. being a big girl and doing big girl things (tagging my posts properly)#expression game

I think that people in the fandom trying to overexplain stuff to justify devs' decision to reduce worldstate choices to a mere handful is becoming a bit.. unnecessary
"It's northern Thedas, how many of your previous choices actually matter there?" I'm pretty sure the majority of us do realize it but that's not the point. Sure, we can attribute any mindset to a recurring NPC to not overshare because your Rook is a stranger to them, but I think it's getting a bit ridiculous because again, the logic of it or plausability is not the point... any recurring character in inquisition could've not shared anything about their personal life by that logic but my question is, would that be fun though? Like, the majority of theories or "imagines" or possible explanations I've read sound plausible and make sense, but it's not fun, and it can flatten characters, and it certainly doesn't make it feel like the previous choices matter... in a game series where your choices should matter. Well, some of them.
I get it though, maybe it's some form of damage control/trying to calm people down. The fandom does need to chill a bit plus some people are really going too far (let's not send death threats to devs please), but overall, I think people are just… mourning in a way (or rather processing) and expressing their disappointment, which is fair. I certainly feel that.
#we're not even talking about anything extraordinary. like some lines are not that hard to implement nor do they alienate newer players#i was fine with what dai had to offer and THAT was considered little. now we have even less than that#i'm pretty sure people are still gonna play the game despite that tho. i definitely am#and even if they aren't ... it's okay too alright?#it might sound controversial but i think it's okay for people to be angry and express their anger (again not in form of death threats)#it's a video game sure and it shouldn't be that serious but come on let's not emotionally repress ourselves and do copium too hard#it's never been sunshine and rainbows here and it never will be#dragon age#txttag#da posting#datv critical#bioware critical

made a facial ref sheet for shri’iia, and also took this chance to refine her design a little bit. I made her face look a bit more closer to her face claim/face ref (90s shalom harlow esp her eye shape) but still kept it close to the in game face I use for her. the little notes are mostly for me hence why they’re small and not sure if it’s legible, and I’ll def add more to the notes after my pen charges lol
#im still debating on this facial shape for her I might make her chin a bit more pointy#bc I kinda like her with rounded then pointy features like a cone lol#but now hopefully she looks consistent in my art#which is annoying me bc I already made art of her prior SIGH#esp her eyes I made them smaller and farther apart… prev art her eyes were like massive#since that was the focal point of her face#but I think with massive eyes then her already over the top makeup it just shrinks her face#and makes it look disproportionate so the smaller eyes balances it out I fear#anyway she’s still v much in development. even now I want to adjust some things lol#but I like doing these character sheets a lot hehehe character art sm fun I want to update her full body sheet next#I wanna make a sheet for her face angles too n esp expressions!!!! I hav specific ideas abt that i think her eyes are very expressive#oc: shri’iia.#mine.

Readin' Bug Ego.
Always glad to see ONE's bromance tendencies in full effect. Saitama and Genos, Mob and Reigen, those two guys from Makai no Ossan...
I've always liked stories about two bosom chums goofing around, and ONE continues to deliver.
#ONE sensei#read Bug Ego#it slaps#bug ego#makai no ossan#one punch man#mob psycho 100#READ BUG EGO#IT SLAPS#unrelated but kokudou kinda looks like a little boy version of tatsumaki#it might just be the hair and the short stature but i could SWEAR their expressions are similar at times too#i'll have to do some research on the matter to see if i can extract some comedy from that coincidence#if it IS a coincidence

few things bring me as much joy as my rook's expressive capacity for sudden withering disdain. (he's looking at illario here, of course lmao.) he's so hey i'm just a little guy...🥺 coded most of the time and then someone says something dumb enough that the mask cracks for a moment and every line of him says 'that is the stupidest fucking thing anyone has ever said to me and I'm aggrieved to even have had to hear it'. rye is mostly very kind but there IS a bastard lurking in his head waiting to be let out as well. not just solas but solas too I suppose. two bastards in rye ingellvar's head they keep each other company and are trying to strangle each other as we speak 😌.
(vs. him looking over at lucanis a moment later during the same line delivery. since lucanis was actively into viago once I cannot imagine that getting to watch rye crack and be kind of mean to people who've earned it when too sorely tried is like. entirely without allure to him fhskjadf. witnessing illario pulling the old ingratiating 'rooook reason with him would you~ I'm the cousin with the charisma stats' routine and This being rook's response probably opened some as of yet ill-understood '...I think I hauve covid' corners of lucanis' soul. tfw your buddy has your back so completely (dawning erotic implications))
#rye 🤝harding: repressed rage that sometimes comes out in some not so pleasant ways when they get pushed too far lol#rye more so than harding I think I feel like he could get truly fucking MEAN under the right pressures#like what solas did for example :) but that's asshole against asshole combat and all bets are off anyway#I think he'd do borderline anything to not make it happen in close interpersonal relationships but like. to the point of his own detriment#kind of thing. who in this lighthouse can teach some of these little guys that anger can be felt and expressed in healthy ways#(probably davrin honestly he seems like a pretty safe dude to have conflict with. unflinching in his own view but fair and also kind)#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#rookanis#rook x lucanis#I find it really interesting how rook's expressions seem to kind of sit different on their face depending on how you make them btw!#rye has a sharp narrow little face and quite upturned corners of the mouth when neutral plus the makeup heightening the features#which I think might be what gives him that really pronounced curl of the lip that reads sort of disdainful/quite sharp#when that facial animation plays#where that expression doesn't come through as prominently on some other rooks I've seen#but they look more natural when they smile for example#fascinating to think about how that stuff plays into your impression of who your rook is!#this is the first da game where the facial animation has been good enough for that to really be a factor I feel#also wondering if that might have some part in how people have received other characters too honestly -- in previous games#almost all real emotional expressiveness has had to be delivered through dialogue and voice acting#b/c the animation really couldn't carry it off with any nuance the vast majority of the time. so people don't quite give the credence#to the details of expression of body language and face that they might have now that it's actually technically available to put in there#which is a shame b/c I've found a lot of delight in what the animation adds to the characterization in this game!#lucanis is a big example of that especially early on in the romance I feel but it pops up all over the place honestly!#anyway. all this to say. I love my rook very much I'm not sure I've ever been this badly oc blorbo brained before in my life lol#(hawke doesn't count b/c hawke almost feels too set to be an oc entirely. and we love them for that that's not in any way a criticism)

Man, that is a FACE. Suddenly thinking of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard and her saying "We had faces then." Sam has a FACE. Jacob, Delainey, Assad, they have FACES. Beautiful AND fascinating.
Face cards that never decline 😔 I love that we're always so shocked by the fact that the cast of the beautiful people show are beautiful, haha.
#LOVE that norma desmond line in sunset boulevard too#now i'm thinking of what era of cinema they all look like they're from#i've already said in the past that sam reminds me a little of a young laurence olivier so he's pre-wwii british cinema/theatre#delainey's definitely got a beautiful silent film face#like obviously louise brooks is white but i see a little bit of her in some of delainey's expressions sometimes#also agreed about his eyes anon 2#but you did make me laugh at 'sam's human eyes'#i totally get what you mean but it's just such a cute way to put it haha#sam asks#awards chatter#and with that i'm heading off to see the brutalist!#might answer a few more asks on the train soon but really do need to head out

Here I go, speed-translating KUUMAA lyrics instead of working. Just in case lovely peeps who don't speak Finnish wanted to understand the lyrics to the new song that are, once again, disgustingly bojere coded, excuse me.
Behold: Tuhoaisti - KUUMAA (English translation by me)
I want everything, I want your everything Even though I haven’t slept at all It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out
We don’t speak with words We were coded to fall in love in a different way We’re somehow the same and the opposite But no one else has struck through me like this Come through the wall without asking for permission And every cell of mine aches But I want, I want
Yes, I want everything, I want your everything Even though I haven’t slept at all It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out And you’re the exception, the only exception That can make me break down It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out
When you’re not here Your shadow paints my walls I keep the lights on But your voice keeps moaning in my ears And you’ve won It’s no use trying to pretend I’m stronger What I ran from before Now I want it, I want it
Yes, I want everything, I want your everything Even though I haven’t slept at all It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out And you’re the exception, the only exception That can make me break down It’s the destructive sense that confounds Prevents the ignited from going out
Original Finnish lyrics here
#bojere#bojan cvjetićanin#käärijä#kuumaa#tuhoaisti#my brain might just be too bojere coded for its own good#I heard the first lines of the first verse and immediately went 'yes by god another one for the collection thank you johannes'#I took some liberties concerning the expressions but tried to keep it fairly directly translated when it comes to overall meaning#this was very quick and just for funsies so I do not take constructive criticism thank you#also#you can freely use my translation if you like but please let me know if you do and credit accordingly

okay so now that i’ve officially finished watching leverage i just want to say that maybe i’m obsessed with this show on multiple levels and something about how it hits so many itches in that it’s about found family and it’s about fucking over bad, rich guys (no billionaire bootlicking in this show! and i fucking love it) and it’s also about how sometimes the bad guys are the only good guys you get and it’s also about how we are all stronger together it’s about how at the start of this show, we have all of these characters who are largely used to working alone and being alone and yet the show concludes that ultimately, we are better when we are together and by being together, we might be able to leave something behind that is bigger and brighter for the next people in our generation and no man is an island and no person is meant to beat goliath on their own or whatever
#caroline talks#leverage#not to be like. emotional but.#i am emotional actually!#i'm just. i get emotional thinking about all of the characters#and just how complex they are#nate with his alcoholism and his rage against the world and how he's arrogant and angry and sad and yet i think he cares so much#he cares so much about his team even if he can be a bit of an ass#sophie who adopts a million personas at the blink of an eye and yet has her own loneliness about who actually knows her#parker who keeps herself closed off bc y'know trauma in the foster care system and yet she learns to express herself and trust people#eliot who resigns himself into thinking that he's a monster and yet he starts to do some good and just. winds up protecting everyone in his#new family which. MAN i can't express enough how much that storyline means to me too#like when is a monster not a monster? / oh when you love it or whatever#and then there's hardison who's so incredibly bright and warm and can talk his way out of most situations#and then he hits a wall when all that brightness and wit and intelligence still might not get him out of a scary situation#and that's. that's when he needs people too. that's when he needs his team#and like. there are so many important points in this show#but like one of the ones i like to think about.#is just like. that you could be incredibly good at whatever it is you do#but you need people. you need a team. you need to trust others and together you can do amazing things#individually they're great#but together they're unstoppable and i think about that a lot#no man is an island and it takes a village or whatever!#also unrelated but i also find it a little funny (i'm sorry) that i finished leverage literally the night the implosion news came out

The Big Three of Failtopia for the new ship bingo
idk what Season’s Big Three you were referring to, so I just kinda did all five in one batch lol
Plus a bonus EriBoat one for @decimal86 under the cut
#‘hey Rose why do you mark some of the spaces with conflicting opinions for some of the ships?’#nobody’s asking that probably#but it’s cuz I have A Lot Of Thoughts on certain pairings#I like almost all of these!#Roseyawn’s the only one I don’t really have a complete liking for in a canon setting#Failica’s a little iffy#but I can def get behind EriBoat a lot more than just Failica#ALSO SOMETHING SOMETHING C!FAIL IS *NOT* DAN#but everyone knows that already#I haven’t really seen many people be weird about the line between C!Fail and Dan with EriBoat like they do with Failica#(ignoring how that might be cuz not as many people ship it)#but still. I like it more#Marion’s good but idk if Orion would really commit to a romantic relationship#cuz yknow. ‘dead’ wife#if it’s Marion + Mrs. Oopsie polycule it goes hard#man I think a lot of ships for this fandom can be improved with polyamory#or QPRs#anyway!!!!!!!!#these thoughts are all subject to change#soooo yea!!#failboat#failboat miitopia#failtopia#ask the octo#not tagging the ships (I’m lazy)#OH ALSO RPF PEOPLE DNI PLS#and if Dan is legit uncomfortable with EriBoat then ya gotta respect that#same with Failica#but he hasn’t really said anything on those two ships (and has encouraged Failica in the past)#so until he expresses his opinions on people shipping C!Fail nowadays I say. ship it with caution (AND DONT BE WEIRD) this goes for Gex too

can I be so open and vulnerable with you guys. the card I was given from people at my old office was sincerely so nice and really validating but also I feel like the main impression I left other people with was "she's really nice" WHICH IS GOOD, I DO WANT TO BE KNOWN AS NICE but also part of me is like... should I maybe strive for "innovative" or "creative" or "a go-getter" because being The Nice One just feels a little mealy-mouthed of me y'know?
#I think there is something to be said here for being so averse to conflict and also such a control freak that I spend incalculable energy on#making other people happy/comfortable/cool-with-me so on and so forth#like this has been a problem in past friendships too as I've grown up#and I've noticed it even online like sometimes I'll have A Take and I won't post it because I don't want to be negative about something#that someone else may like or whatever#which is GOOFY because some of my favorite people are those with strong personalities (bc it's a CLEAR VIEW of that person's personality!!)#and yet here I am like "tee hee I'm so nice everyone likes me because I'm nice anyway when I look in a mirror all i see is a blank wall''#lol y'know? and like no I certainly express opinions and express emotions other than Just Being Happy#and also any waylaid attempts at being so neutral as to not offend people uhhhhh don't work. ask me how I know#(I know because people have hated my guts on the internet before lol)#so it's like: this performance is truly for no one but yourself AND!!!! *AND* it's not even good for you because you might not actually be#being your authentic self#anyways I'm afraid to be a hater and also I'm afraid people won't like me so I try hard to make them like me#and THAT leads to me getting a very nice card about how everyone likes me and me inevitably going: but do they know and like the REAL me#lololololololol that's so goofy#anyway kids be yourselves#also what can I say I derive great pleasure from trying to be the nicest person a cashier interacts with on a given day so#idk there's a middle ground to be struck therein and I'm still navigating it

alright~ a few updates about everything! so this weekend I'll be seeing changkyun in chicago- so I prolly won't be posting until after I'm alive again from that 😂😅 (I am vv excited about it- I just know I'll be vv tired when I return home). Anyways, I have a few fics in the works~ one of them that is a request 🤭 I'm vv excited to work on them! But I think I'm going to change my masterlist a bit when I come back. I'm going to retire a few groups from the main masterlist and I've been debating for the past year about it... But I think I'm going to add a yearly masterlist- So it would go from most recent to the beginning of this year~
I'm also thinking about changing my pfp- I haven't been really into stray kids for uh... years- But I will be sure to make an update about that if I go thru with that too- (It may be ji changmin next 🫣🤭)
Anyways those are my few updates 🥰💖
#in general my brain is so muddled outside of talking to my three closest and my mom i'm just... fogged- but god how i want to be#writing rn- i have 4 smuts and 1 fluff in the works (who would have guessed my fluff writer self has moved from not only plain fluff to#angst & smut this year? not me- but i'm happy about it) two are poly aus and the other two are about a certain 🌙~#kate rambles on from here#altho there is another vv big potential fic~ but i'm only counting ones i have lots of progress on-#and then the masterlist thing i've been thinking about forever- hwvr again i do not know if i'll have the energy bc i might be knocked#on my ass for another month after this trip (i'll be pretty much solely driving for 4 & 1/2 hrs there and another 4 & 1/2 back the next day#but the pfp thing has been on my mind for a while too- again idk when i'll get around to it but jinkoh has given me a vv good#idea esp for winter~ with mr. ji~ so i'm sure to have changed it by december~ (unless the change is too much for me- i haven't changed it#since 2018... so i'm kind of attached to it- even tho i don't even bias him or stan the group anymore...)#anyways this is full of me rambling- i could really go on tbh- bc i'm really trying to get my mind into gear- but these are my updates#let's see if i fulfill em- i'm bound to fill the fic ones- but the other two... yeah- we'll see-#kate rambles#blog updates#should i bring babydoll q & juyo to the concert bc if it wasn't for kyun getting me into dominic fike(and being into tbz during stealer era#i wouldn't have been a tbz ult... (outside of some other factors i haven't really disclosed) bc atp i'm vv close to packing them with me#i mean tbh a tbz pc was going- but now i'm 🫣: should i bring them to see the guy from my first ult group that caused the spiral-#that made me get into my newest ult group? (i love this butterfly effect more than i could ever express tbh- even tho i express it often)#anyways if someone actually reads these- i'm bound to bring babydoll q- legally that's my buddy- but juyo?? 👀

I think relatable and unrelatable stories can be utilized well and are both very valid. I enjoy both of them depending on my mood, but stories that are a right blend of relatability and unrelatability also exists, and those are my personal favorites.
I love stories were I can see bits of myself in the story/characters, while still being different enough that I can still imagine myself in a different pair of shoes.
#personal#me speaks#I remember reading tv tropes where they mentioned that if your stories has zero relatable qualities#u might alienate your audience#and if its too relatable the audience would just feel like they are staring at the mirror#obv nothing wrong if thats what your going for tho#relatable stories are valid bc people tell stories to express their feelings worldview etc#and sometimes its different enough to make me go 'wow I relate to this character but I wonder if I would do the same as them'#on the flipside some unrelatable stories make me go “im different from the character but if I was in their shoes I might do the same thing'#idk both are enjoyable and fresh to me when done right#and whos to say a story cant have a bit of both

Is there a word for when an adaptation of something you like fucks up a character sooooo badly you become mildly obsessed with them for a few days. Please. Asking for a friend
#PLEASE. I haven’t been able to not Think about pink lady for the past few days#I try to do ANYTHING and my brain goes like#‘oooooo you wanna analyse sweetheart’s self-objectification so bad. you wanna analyse her repressed queerness soooo bad’#GET OUT GET OUT GET OUTTTT#anyways I will NEVER forgive yhis manga for how badly they handled her#literally just switching around some of the events to save time and they fucked up her character. I’m genuinely impressed atp#like what were you THINKING putting the wedding before she even meets hero??? what were you FUCKING THINKING#the whole REASON she decides to marry herself and begins spiralling is BECAUSE she faced rejection for the first time like COME ON#also no quest for hearts???? get out of my face how are you going to take away her main thing#that being theatrically dealing with her problems and treating herself like a product. MAN I was so excited for her portrayal in the manga-#-too when it was first announced#like this is MADDENING this is SADDENING.#on a more positive note thiugh… I love how the manga portrays her visually#her panels and expressions reallu capture her range of ‘empty and dead inside’ to ‘absolutely batshit insane and downright manic’#so. good job there I guess#omori#omori sweetheart#might render this later I like this sketch

#interview with the vampire#i just found and watched a video on youtube that is a lestat hate and rant about his fans and it was so SO cathartic#i dont even agree with everything said and was naturally at first skeptic of a youtuber's opinion#but finally FINALLY there is a louder voice of someone who can see things about this show from another point of view#even if it's a pov that's more strict than the one i use to analyze media myself#i thought i was going crazy when seeing the fan opinions surrounding this show. mostly out there but sometimes here too#like yeah with how popular loustat is i knew there would be plenty of bias for the angle that flatters it#but the things ive seen lestat & loustat fans say.... the longing for eye bleach was real#but finally someone is there to underline that hey. that very present very intentional racial and power dynamics are in fact very real.#do in fact influence the characters accordingly. and does not come out of thin air or just 'the circumstances'#it's valid to explore the other side of the coin in louis' character of course. but it doesnt mean that it's not there#mind you. all of that shit louis described? is while insisting he was not 'an abused person'#and its so satisfying to see how someone can pass all the bullshit and have the serenity of heart to recognize that#regardless of everything else. there is a reason why louis felt like lestat was a predator and he was being preyed on#that is because he largely was. lestat *was* a vampire on the hunt. an emotional vampire to boost along with the more literal sense#he might disagree to be doing that on a conscious level and he might have clear reasons to have the instincts he does. he still did that#thank you for also calling bullshit on the reunion scene dialogue and parts of the trial in how it was trying to frame certain things#its the main reason why s2 didnt fully work for me. like jesus christ.#that man literally was part of a ploy to murder their daughter. BE SERIOUS. and im supposed to be mad about armand's involvement??#i also felt so seen when he talked about how dickmatized penis delirious to the point of frustration louis is#there is so much to be grateful for. in highlighting the weight of lestat's involvement vs armand's#in talking about louis' family's side of things. expressing how people for some reason love to call armand a mastermind lying manipulator#when the first culprit of that is the blonde bitch??#honestly the irritation i feel towards many of the fans of this show and the major opinions was such#that i was feeling bad just be seeing iwtv content around and i dont wanna feel like that. i like the show so much.#this was soul clearing in a way. even if. again. i dont fully agree with everything#love how its so clear how so many people try to invoke the books when trying to dissuade him from thinking ill of lestat#because thats exactly my experience too LMAO. talk about a weak limpdick argument#and people who try to invoke unreliable narrator are not much better#and the whole story is made up from the writer's head and nothing matters! see i can do this too
