A comic about Szeth and cooking. Or that's what it's going to about. Part 1/4.
(In case it wasn't clear, Nale is 100% just messing with him. Honestly they both kinda are.)
#szeth does not actually mind cooking he just wanted to make kaladin talk him into it bc he's enjoying having a low stakes conversation#nale does not care about this even a little bit but he doesn't like kal and szeth building rapport#and what better way to interrupt that than by starting pointless fights with kaladin#szeth#kaladin#nale#embarrassing confession: i can write and draw (not well but passably) pretty easily#panels and speech bubbles however. those take me hours. and even then they're...bad.#this is basically practice#because i feel like i would be pretty good at comics if i were ...good at comics#anyway the rest of these will be posted at...some point? idk. whenever i get around to it.#i'm going to spoil the end now though. cooking is not going to be an emotional life changing experience for szeth.#even if cooking was important to him (it isn't) i don't do sincere wholesome stuff here. i ONLY make stupid jokes about skybreakers.

Gen obsessed with how.. *dead* your Jason's color pallete is. Like, that's corpse pale right there. Not a spec of blood left flowing in there (also father Todd's skin being full of color in comparison is a nice touch)

THANK YOU I love making him look a bit ghoulish. Guy who's not supposed to be alive but yes he is. no he isn't <3
#DC#DC Comics#Jason Todd#Red Hood#Jaybin#Robin ii#Art by me#Asks#I know vitamin D doesn't affect your skin colour BUT the easiest way to get it is sunlight which does ik nobody is bothered by this but me#But I have OCD. so you're getting clarification anyways 👍#Jason's way of saying if you spend too much time underground it's going to start wanting to keep you there 😁#I do think he bleeds normally and has a heartbeat and all that because he's not Dead. Alive? Well no also. He's likeboth at once and neithe#I think his physical state should be full of inconsistencies. you can't see his breath in cold weather but you can if he smokes etc.#There's also appeal to him coming back looking completely normal I do love mundane horror but#His death was important both in and out of universe and it altered things irreversibly so I think he can be a little Off as a treat#Also it adds to the misery that he's the same person like he died and came back the same person internally he's himself but#to others he looks and acts and is offputting he's Jason but Wrongg. Except not really#Because yeah he changed but that's just getting older and being affected by your experiences like everyone else ever#unfortunately for him he popped back to life Like That so everyone is just going eughh what thebfcuk#But that's a little off topic ANYWAYS one thing I really liked about Countdown was Jason being described as a siren in the dark#Like yea he's unsettling even if there's no clear reason as to why yet. He wasn't even doing anything his vibes are just rancid#My ideal Jason is one who looks like he wouldn't be out of place eating someone. He wouldn't. but you know. looming threat#I think he'd have fun indulging in the undead aspect in his more dramatic moments#Also the environment matters like during the day at the store he just seems a bit strange but at night in an alleyway it's uncanny valley#I have more to say on this topic but I'm writing a novel in the tags so I'll wrap it up#To summarize it's basically YOU CAN'T GO BACK YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY THINGS WERE AND EVERYONE WHO LOOKS AT YOU CAN SEE IT#Thank you again for this ask I love when people bring up details they like to me because I like putting them in and talking about them#And just talking in general clearly lmao post-crisis really had so much going for it. lots of interesting characters

At your side [End of Season 2]
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#wen ning#jin ling#wen qing#jiang yanli#a-yuan#It may have taken a year but we did it! The end of season 2!!!#(Granted: this season was nearly twice the length of season one.)#It's been a really fantastic season to draw for. So many iconic moments! It was a lot of work but I had a blast B*)#I also enjoyed experimenting more and more with my comic style. I'm growing as a comic artist bit by bit!#There is even a little bit of shadowing in this one for next season. As a treat. All the fun (and not heart breaking) scenes to come!#Comic talk time: Recently saw 12 angry men for first time and I love the coincidence of the themes aligning here.#They both touch upon the horror of judicial systems - in which the most persuasive argument wins and the truth is a nuisance.#All it takes is one person to stand against the crowd and say 'I do not know what is true. And that is reasonable doubt enough.'#When the majority is for condemning someone guilty - that in itself is persuasive enough.#One will set their mind to what the 'truth' is and refuse to see it any other way. That their perspective is the only correct one.#No one is born with a monopoly on the truth.#Everyone has biases and agendas. Some care not for the outcome - only that they can be on the convenient side.#Lan Wangji is putting everything on the line to say 'I'm not going to go with the majority vote.'#And that is a huge deal in a story that is so politically focused as MDZS is. Everything is a careful chess move to these sects -#and to not play the game is basically sacrificing everything you are and your families name. For some it is unthinkable.#And there is no doubt in LWJ's mind. He would stand there and lose everything if it means upholding justice.#More importantly - these two have each other's backs. The bond is unbreakable. This is the most ride or die I have seen two people be.

After doing some research on the types of pets people had in ancient Greece, I'd like to imagine that Helen is the sort of person who has a whole menagerie of birds — and she loves each and every one of them very, very much.
It fits well with her being good at mimicry, you know. Talking and imitating and singing with her beloved birds 💜
Close up under the read more:
I had to include that one necklace from the minoan 'saffron goddess' fresco because it's my favourite thing Ever
#helen of sparta#greek mythology#greek myth art#tagamemnon#birds#this started as a helen with birds drawing. then turned into a chance to put helen in mycenaean accurate clothing.#and THEN turned into a sort of hades game art study/sprite because playing with half lineart + half rendering is just too much fun#speaking of fun: I really enjoyed making this!! Once I got a bit experimentative it really came together. I'm happy with the outcome! ^w^#choosing what birds and how many was a challenge... in my mind Helen has dozens of birds and all sorts of species. truly a crazy bird lady.#but I decided to focus on a few for this. maybe another time i'll make a piece with a ridiculous amount of birds for fun >:) hehe#I cant remember the source but I know I read somewhere that people would specifically train magpies to say hello/greet guests#and I love that little factoid (and love magpies very much) so that was an immediate choice for me to feature here.#I also love doves and goldfinches. goldfinches sound so delightful and stand out so they were my 'songbird' choice.#and I'd like to imagine that one specific dove snuggles up on helen's shoulder all the time <3#the only bird that's truly missing here is an indian ringneck parrot (which I initially wanted to put on the shoulder but changed my mind)#so if you're like me and watch too many parrot videos. just know helen has one of them that can't stop talking and posing lmao#capri_art

#Have You Eaten? AU#Sun Have You Eaten? AU#Eclipse Have You Eaten? AU#Moon Have You Eaten? AU#crab art#digital art#bright colours#so i have this thing right where i have like a timespan i need to post a drawing or fic#otherwise i will lose motivation to post it#hence why i have drafts of art i never posted#because they have past the arbitrary expiration date in my brain#i also have this thing#where every bit of job experience i've accumulated will intrude on the peaceful enjoyment of my hobbies#sometimes for better#sometimes for worse#here i am trying to post a fic without any pressure#and in comes the stray bit of knowledge that tells me “an image will make the post more eye-catching and increase engagement”#fortunately i am not drawing out of pressure#i'm drawing for fun#just a little peeved to delay posting the fic

#why no one told me that trying to get in the “grown up life” is so stressful when you have zero experience in a real work#All the skills you have are not enough#At the same time you didn't have rest at all after graduating because of the outside pressure#And I feel like I became deadly annoying#Let me complain a little bit I swear to god this is like 2 time after college when I want to complain at something I'm not that strong#What do you mean there is no sign “We want YOU as our worker!” ahagsha funny#I have to learn about 2 new programms on a basic level at least#Learn new things on Toon Boom#Prepare different portfolios when turns out I barely have something I can show#I was thinking too little and now I barely can think and I start being irritated at myself yet can do nothing since my brain rebels#Okayyy just 2 more months to see if something will turns out good out of what I will be doing

TRIED DRAWING SIFFRIN FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! FINDING MY STYLE FOR FUTURE ISAT FANART BLAH BLAH!!! NEED TO PRACTISE DRAWING SIF. SIF IS INEVITABLE
#isat#in stars and time#siffrin#artsy lynne things#BRUH this is a binary/pixel-y artwork but it just smoothes out when viewed from afar... Sad#i really wanted to include one where sif is crying... sorry sif...#70% of the time i was like “hmm this sif looks wrong” and the fix was to make their hat bigger unironically#i still dont think ive made the hats big enough tbh#it's so hard to fuse my artstyle with insertdisc5's artstyle... but i know i'm not the only one...#i'm glad ISAT is monochrome. i really struggle with color comprehension so this just means i can pump out more ISAT fanart theoretically...#...without it sticking out too much#or the opposite#without my hypothetical future fanart getting drowned out by mere color competition#i finally started ISAT after playing SASASA;AP 3 years ago... and promptly bingeplayed it within like a week#Not surprising. Just like it's not surprising that I can't stop thinking about ISAT... and Sif...#i wanna do an ISAT animation... ...big words for someone who has little animation experience and like. 0 proper programs for it either#WE BALL!!!!!!!!!!#congratulations ISAT for being the first fanart i draw and finish and post in. months? a year?#ISAT gives you 3 traumas and heals 5#PS: i have no idea why but i one-layer'd this whole thing? which seems unspectacular but#it was really bothersome when doing the shading bits or details#but at that point i was too committed to WE BALL so i just kept it this way throughout

add me to the derivative works section for the tipu's tiger wikipedia page another time. he's a plate now.
#em's adventures in the ceramic bowl mines#em is posting about sharpe#this bowl is brought to you by the wikipedia page for the baker rifle. which it turns out is HARD AS ALL FUCK to draw on a curved surface.#and also because this is underglaze painted over underglaze. that's not a white ground that's a Clay ground with white painted on#and then the black goes on top of that. so if I make a mistake I have to scrub down the whole plate and start over.#which I did not have to do for these but mmm this was not my favorite ceramic painting experience ever#this is also why his face is a bit fucked up. really hard medium + also I can't really sketch because the white underglaze is very powdery#but whatever We Got There and I'm really pleased with the broader result#esp. as I had a Little Moment about being a person who likes military fiction again y'day morning before painting these.

A delivery person comes to Tim's house one day with an age restricted object (like alcohol or something). On this day, Damian also happens to be visiting.
--
(Tim opens the door)
Delivery Person: Oh, hey kiddo, is one of your parents in?
Tim: Haha, no (he reaches for the package) do I need to sign for it?
Delivery Person: Oh- woah! (they hold the package away from him) Sorry, no can do, this needs to be collected by an adult. Are your parents in, or should I come back tomorrow?
(A cold gust of wind blows as Tim tries not to be mad about the all-too-common situation)
Tim, sighing: Right. I get it. Hold on.
(Tim goes to the kitchen to get his ID from his bag, but in his irritation, seems to be having trouble finding it in there)
Delivery person (out of sight): Oh! Hey, sorry for the trouble. And you're that kid's... parent?
Damian: Tim? No, I'm his brother.
Tim: 🤨???????
Delivery Person: Oh, cool, that's fine too, could you sign for this?
Damian: Sure?
Delivery Person: Awesome, thank you. Hope you and your little brother have a nice day!
(The delivery person leaves)
Tim (stepping back into the entryway, only to see Damian holding his package, looking extremely confused): ... did you just accept my package?
Damian: Uh? Yes?
Tim: And he didn't ID you..
Damian: I'm not sure what just happened - I was just coming to see why you were taking so long at the door.
Tim, (snatching it out of his hands, his pride wounded): You don't even live here, don't sign for my packages.
Damian (who is just here to innocently hang out with his big brother): ???? 😶??
Tim, grumbling under his breath as he takes the package into the lounge: And who's he calling your younger brother? I'm 24. I'm literally 24. You're barely 20! I don't look that young, screw that guy. I can't believe this. The nerve..
#it's implied that the delivery person thinks Tim went to send Damian to the door btw#this is based off my life experiences btw#I'm 27 but still get apprehended by the delivery people bc I look like a kid#look at my eyebags people. what kid has eyebags like this?#my little sister always looked older than me for some reason and it was a big point of irritation for me#I'm chill about it now but it is kind of annoying when they ask to speak to An Adult#friend I AM ONE.#tim drake#damian wayne#broke: he's forever 17 // woke: he's fully grown he literally just has youthful genetics#he'll hit 50 and suddenly look extremely old I'm sure#red robin#dc robin#tim drake wayne#damian al ghul wayne#also check me out using formatting to add depth#batfam#it's shoddily written and requires the delivery person being a bit negligent but eh I'm cringe and free#also adult damian can learn how to call his siblings by their preferred names I think

Some instances that I feel show how some messages in MHA are detrimental, especially on how victims react to their abuser, can be gauged by responses that tend to be highly prevalent in the fandom.
(Definitely not every fan, but a great majority).
Endeavor is a great example. Whenever you post criticizing his approach to atonement (and ultimately criticizing Horikoshi’s writing), you get BOMBARDED by people either belittling you for not liking his character or essentially forcing you to like his character by frantically writing “at least he tried” arguments.
If I have the CHOICE whether to forgive his character or not, especially given he goes through an atonement arc and not a redemption arc, why is any form of criticism about his abusive behavior and essentially his abuse of power practically ignored by the story unacceptable?
The message was detrimental because people operate on the notion that for victims to be good people, they must forgive and even help their abusers. MHA presents people who choose not to forgive him as either a monster (Toya) or inconvenient (Natsuo). And if they are still unforgiving, they must admire the abuser for doing the bare minimum (taking responsibility; this is also about Natsuo).
Essentially, they are considered "imperfect victims" because they weren't merciful in their approach to their abuser.
The majority of the fandom tends to ignore the lack of actual consequences for Endeavor's actions because he vows to talk to Toya every day. Insisting that doing the bare minimum, which is recognizing his son's existence and suffering, became his "hell" is a wildly fucked up message, in my opinion.
It harps on the issue mentioned above that if a victim isn't receptive to forgiveness or doesn't act "demure," they are seen as an inconvenience—which is how the Todoroki family ultimately views Toya.
On a less critical note, I'll vent, so if you don't like this, just ignore it.
I'm so fucking tired of stories depicting imperfect victims as people who deserve death and torture. Plus, having to be on the brunt of so many people acting like you're morally fucked because you're not impressed with how a writer handled abuse. Horikoshi is not the first writer to try to atone a character who is an abuser (and he isn't the first to fail at that, either).
I'm not about to dick-ride every decision every author makes. Especially if the message convinces some audience members that victims are inherently broken if they can't bring themselves to forgive and/or admire someone who hurt them.
#me: no systematic consequences for Enji's abuse is frustrating#some MHA fans: well what the fuck is he supposed to do then? die?#me: ... why does everyone in this fandom believe dying is the solution for every crime?#MHA: twice's death is justified toga's death is justified tenko's death is justified people the HPSC killed aren't brought up again#me: oh yeah lol#the experiences I had with the MHA fandom on TikTok so far have been the most toxic interactions I've ever had in fandom#like I used to think the bad rep was just normies being introduced to fandom for the first time#but no#people were right :v#if you like Enji and you're triggered by this#please leave me alone#also please don't try to convince me the end was good or that the story is good#I'm legit so tired of having to deal with that#each to their own#mha critical#bnha critical#anti enji todoroki#anti endeavor#todoroki family#todoroki touya#touya todoroki#todoroki shouto#shouto todoroki#todoroki natsuo#natsuo todoroki#RIP natsuo#you had some rebellion in you#he had to have a little bit of boot-licking by the end#the poor thing
