For the shipping characters ask game... I think you deserve a sexy elf king tbh

I'm pretty sure this was a, like, "ship me with a fictional character" ask game and tbh I'm not mad about this. I get it 👀

(Added a cut for a mini tangent I go on)

I think the most surprising thing for a lot of people to hear would be that my knowledge on the Tolkein/LotR universe is extremely limited. I saw all the Hobbit movies with my dad when those were coming out, I had the book read aloud to me in elementary school (I went to a montessori school so our teachers read books aloud to us for like a half an hour each day from preschool all the way to 6th grade. The Hobbit was either in second or third grade) and that's about it, honestly.

I tried reading Fellowship in middle school but I didn't finish it and I've never seen the LotR movies. I'm one of the biggest nerds ever and I've never seen Lord of the Rings. I know tidbits of the lore through osmosis, of course. I know about the broken toe, for one thing.

I place a large part of the blame on my clingy/slightly obsessive ex boyfriend since he was massively into it (deadass made me a ring in jewelry class that had something written in elvish on it... that was the least of it, trust me) so now I just have this unfortunate association with this person I'd rather not spend much time thinking about. One of these days I'll hopefully just park my ass and watch the movies.

#i take this as a compliment by the way #i unfortunately know so very little about his character for the reasons under the cut #but i'm assuming this is a compliment lol #fishgills speaks #ask box #my inbox is open #beloved mutuals

having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

#and before one of u is like '' i have no friends :(" i used to be there too actually #abusive partner cut me off from ALL of 'em. i didn't think i was lovable #it made me EXCEPTIONALLY shy. i still am actually!!!!#i just ... started saying ''yes.''#i would take pictures of flyers in my library and go to whatever events they had #i started taking community classes #if someone mentioned like ''i am gonna start x group'' i actually took a deep breath #and approached them to be like . okay i want in.#i started making the first move with new people - a small compliment #a smile or a little joke. just to share the space with them.#i have MASSIVE social anxiety. bad parent and bad relationship will do that to ya.#but i just... kept going. and going. and going. to each of these little things. and then...#like. .... idk i just am very blessed. i have a STUPID number of friends #a lot of which i reconnected with. bc it turns out love is never wasted. adult life just.#like. gets in the way. but also... i loved u as a weird little kid. i love u now as a weird big adult.#i promise i PROMISE ur friends are out there. u just have 2 find them. and btw #i didn't make friends with everyone. but i did get a lot of people to smile or laugh.#aint that something.#this process took me something like 2 years. it was HARD!!!!!!!!!!#i love u!!! hard things are often worth it!!!

While denial is common in Jamiyuu ships, Mayu has a very specific flavour of denial

#my art #twisted wonderland #twst #jamil viper #jamil viper x yuu #twst oc #oc #shiokawa mayu #jamimayu #girl who is really honest abt her own feelings but shy about others liking her #vs #guy who will be on the receiving end of all this #yet make every excuse along the lines of #maybe shes just being nice #maybe shes this way with me bc im the only person around thats demure and mindful and responsible and would never take things the wrong way #bye i cant deal with them #bet he fishes for compliments too

You will not have another wait like that #wugh what was I even going to say about these pages I need to keep a commentary of my thoughts while I write these #Ill be honest the script for these pages went in a way different direction than I was planning LOL but I like it #As awful of a dad as Dale is I do think he has legitimate issues around the idea of someone taking Dev from him/dev being kidnapped #because of what Vicky did to him the idea of Dev being kidnapped makes him feel legitimately nauseous #unfortunately that doesnt always stop him from being a reckless awful parent #but it is part of the reason he would never hire a human caretaker for Dev. somethin.. something. bad experience with a babysitter...#another thing about Dale is that generally he is very... blunt with Dev. For better and for worse.#He WILL give Dev compliments if he thinks what he did was praise worthy. And he'll just as easily say something awful. if he thinks it true #more on that in upcoming pages...

happiness today and tomorrow (ID in alt)

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun maximum #trigun #ruporas art #hello here's another vw dump wraughh everyday i think about them being embarrassing infatuated w each other #it's like... at some point i must stop and look away... their love is too bright too dangerous.... but i will not... and neither will the #sidenote on the first comic - i drafted it bc im annoying about vash finding wolfwood lovely in simple ways but bc he's so restrained #in his thoughts those compliments dont usually come out. and when they do - bc he thinks about it so often - i think it'd come out bluntly #like. factual in tone as opposed to his inner deep exploding feelings about ww. only when he's pried deeper - prompted to expand #On these feelings does he get shy lmfao.... and bc it's simple complimentary words ww would take it casually in stride #dip him then call him cute and Maybe he'll get shy (pondering)#as u can see all i do is think about the fluff rn. tragedy where!

God this is so funny

(source)

#ace attorney #apollo justice ace attorney #klavier gavin #i think its funnier that klav is 17 when phoenix says “i like your affected euro-rock accent by the way” lmao #is it phoenix being snarky or is he giving him a genuine compliment? we may never know #i will take this as a free pass to imagine that despite faking a german accent he cant pronounce german words properly

Darcy's role in P&P would work for me anyway, but tbh it works for me 10x better because he halfway reverts back to form towards the end of the book.

#so many takes on darcy seem to think his presentation of himself at pemberley is a permanent radical transformation of his personality #and the end point of his character arc #and it's explicitly not a static end point in that way #his inwards change is real but how much that translates into outwards presentation depends on the context #like late-novel darcy trying to compliment mrs bennet and doing it in a way that reads as icy and brusque is just peak darcy #the difference isn't that he's become personable in this social context; he's not! but he's doing his best now #and this being an ongoing struggle at which he sometimes comically fails is so much more austen #than the total transformation into a perfect dreamboat narrative #but yeah i love that austen goes out of her way at the end to yank him out of his fulfillment enclosures and underscores his foibles #anghraine babbles #austen blogging #austen fanwank #lady anne blogging #fitzwilliam darcy

Hiii!! I heard you use procreate? What brushes do you use? I’ve been trying to find a pencil brush that I like. Ignore this if you’ve already answered it. Have a nice day!!

Hi, yes I use procreate! (Sorry I’m literally answering this a month late…) But here’s a link to my earlier post about this!

It’s literally my entire main brush set. Every single artwork I’ve posted on this tumblr has been dependent on this set, including my comics, and illustrations regardless of how different in style they look. I do have other brushes which are specific to creating more realistic backgrounds, but I typically just use the traditional brush and warp it for texture. 😂

If you guys want my entire asset of stamp, and texture brushes that I’ve stocked up like a hoarder, let me know! I also recently got a watercolor brush pack I really like, and I can share that too!

But other than that, the one brush I use most is my sketching brush, which I’ve just labeled “Sketch Rough”. I’m not that good at line art (people who can do line art are incredible), so this brush has been a life saver for me! I work with more of a painterly style, and I prefer not inking my sketches or tracing over them again. (Unless I want them cleaner… 😭) I tend to just draw my sketches then painting over or under it.

(It’s also slightly texturized! It’s still pretty clean to the point where you can still recognize what shapes you’ve drawn, but the texture adds a nice touch.)

#mushyrt #asks #btw I’m closing my ask box in 24 hours #I thought I closed it already but I didn’t LMAO #I was so confused when I was still receiving them HAHA #I’M SORRY IF I DON’T REPLY TO EACH ASK #I’m not going to be answering compliments BUT JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT I’VE READ THE #READ THEM AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT :D #I’m gonna try to get the drawing requests out the way first #then answer regular questions #or just alternate between whatever is fastest for me #It’s gonna take a while for me to get through them #BUTTHANK YOUALL SO MUCH 💖💖💖

#this is one of those pieces where i had to edit them at the same time and some cool things okok #so in atlas's photos i pulled more towards the cooler side #while with taryn's photo i veered towards warmer colors #but then the colors had to compliment each other also ok with shading #the i shaded the top right and bottom left then swapped it for the next photo so even the vignettes are COOL #i'm so excited after the white rabbit arc bc i feel like these two really grown into their own selves and YEAHH #i'll probably take a mini hiatus before and after that huge arc just so i can get everything perfected #i was looking at the script and we have about 40ish scenes left (50 for y'all LMAO)#but even the way things open up after GAH GAHHHHH #oc: taryn #oc: atlas #ts4 #simblr #sims 4

Finished the rainbow shorts!!!

#handmade #embroidery #rainbow embroidery shorts #for some reason like every pair of shorts I’ve bought in a lotta years #has unfinished hems? they are just kinda folded and not sewn #probably because denim is stretchy now and it’s harder to make the stitching on the hems without limiting the stretch #idk? but it makes it so easy to embroider!#also idk how to take a photo of these while wearing them #I feel like I should? they look better worn than they do flat #but idk how to do that in a way that’s not like ‘look at my legs’#which is a thing I tend to avoid especially online because I usually dislike comments on my legs #except the time my sister said my thighs look like she doesn’t want me to kick her #which was a weird but delightful compliment #got sidetracked. embroidery is done!!!

Something something cerebrocrustacean headcanons, yada yada Dr Psychobos is not immune to the in-group bias

He's doing the one thing Azmuth did not do, viewing Malware as a son with special needs Dr Psychobos is fully willing to support :P

#dr psychobos #malware #malware ben 10 #ben 10 #fanart #first time drawing either potentially last :P beep can't say whether that's true or not #between responding to the original ask and completing this i remembered that khyber had that one dream of being praised by the tennysons #so i think not only does dr psychobos welcome in a troubled child (who's probably so unused to affection he takes it like a cat to water)#but would also be complimenting khyber's work and the 'greatest huntsman in the galaxy' gets to have appreciation #and being a such a 'tough guy' probably has to hide how much he really likes being recognised for his work #either way- dr psychobos in-group headcanons may not make everyone morally better- but damn this villain can family #or whatever a desperate cerebrocrustacean forming an in-group on the smallest of similarities and the people he drags into it CAN be called

im gonna be honest sir for the longest time i thought you WERE a beautiful butch lesbian on account of the multitudes of lesbian art and your attire in photos and your lack of pronouns that would suggest otherwise

Sorry to disappoint.

#anon #ask me #this is insane to me i'm the most cis-looking man i know #not a beautiful butch lesbian but a decent asian queer twink.#also i'm not offended i'm taking this as somewhat of a compliment i'm just being dry #funny story after i met my partner's parents he told his dad i'm bisexual (my partner is fem presenting) and his dad said #“yea i can tell by the way he dresses.” never been told this before tho!#hey speaking of attire my dad just gave me his old taiwanese air force helmet bag it's sick as hell. maybe i'll post pics

i know sanji is looking back at nami and still smiling because he hasn't processed that she's complimenting zoro yet but it just looks like he's looking at zoro with this face

#filler #sanji #nami #zoro #i like that zoro never takes a compliment or really cares either way #whether people tell him he did a bad job or a good one #in matters unrelated to Swords and Protecting The Crew he doesn't give a shit
