#i'm hinting at something here

[oliveden]

lotor is born with red altean markings beneath his eyes that he knows are an identical copy of his mother's.

with them comes a new talent for altean alchemy. his quintessence is far stronger than they'd expected and haggar recognizes his potential in an instant.

so she mentors him, teaching him what she knows of alchemy and quintessence manipulation. he is raised on stories of magic and haggar instills within him a healthy respect for alteans, one that occasionally wars with galra history, but wins out nonetheless.

(she does not quite know why she chose to teach him, but it felt right. it's easy to rationalize it as a way of ensuring the empire's strength.)

decaphoebs later, lotor may not be as respected as his pureblooded galra counterparts - but the witch-prince is feared nonetheless.

"WEEZER BLUE!!! 💙💙💙"

Just a normal weezer meme, there is nothing wrong.

I tried to find the original source of the audio I used for dialogue, but I couldn't find it (I'm assuming it's from TikTok; if anyone wants to point out the creator of these lines, let me know so I can credit them!)

THIS TOOK LIKE TWO WEEKS! Almost everything except the sticks and the speech bubbles are colored in, there's a ton of dialogue, and a lot of the poses are complicated. I wanted to color it completely because I felt it wouldn't seem as "serious" (and therefore not as funny) if I stuck with my usual stark white backgrounds, so this is all my own fault, really. But it's finished! Hooray!

I saw this audio in a YouTube short and immediately thought of these two. Toxic yaoi at it's finest, if I do say so myself. They will tear each other to shreds, and they will secretly like it.

Erm, anyway, gonna go... not draw for a week. Probably. That's fifteen whole pictures I colored in completely! That's the biggest art I've ever art'ed! I gotta go be eeby deeby and get some sleeby.

[WIP] Some more updates!!!

I've been quiet recently, but got a bunch of stuff in the works for y'all!!

I'm still working on those paper puppets for a little project regarding intertwined opposites (Possibly one of the most ambitious things I've ever worked on so far) and found a proper way to introduce that new au I'm working on!!

Here are two more paper puppets for the big pmv

And a few sneak peaks for the new au!!

(Doodles+notes alongside a silly little meme with a sprite edit of pewpaw)

I'm working on an info post for it, progress has been slow however since I wanna prioritize the pmv again (Started it on june, stagnated a long period, and went back to work on it. I'm dead set on finishing it this summer AND stubborn/silly).

I am already a big enjoyer of Friede and Amethio's rivalry and dynamics in general, so if Crave turns out to be Amethio's father, I feel like this knowledge would reframe their rivalry in very interesting ways and give additional readings and perspectives..

I think I was destined to create a fantasy series/story,, I always gravitated towards the genre and it all started with the immense dragon fixation I had as a kid

PETE’S WORLD | The Eleventh Hour. Continuation of The End of Time

[latin-dr-robotnik]

I said this months ago, but by the end of this year Frontiers is gonna be a completely different game from the one that released back in November 2022, and now that we know when DLC 3 is going to come out, it might be the best time to play it again from start to finish.

Each update addressed something about the base game that wasn't up to par: side modes and replayability, challenges, gameplay and controls... and now the final update is tackling what is still one of the biggest weakness of the game: the final chapter.

I'd say I'm surprised but dataminers found out back in June all the stuff that got confirmed today: reworked Ouranos, revised story with playable Tails, Knuckles and Amy, new final boss, new transformation and more.

So... get ready :)

i might queue up ppls art and fics w/o commentary in the tags... i want other ppl to see what all of my cool friends have made, but i genuinely can't think right now with this monstrous brain fog. i'm really sorry, just. yeah. maybe i'll think of some way to make it up later!!! once the dust has settled!!!! but until then i wuv u and miss u. smiles.

[venting in tags including familial manipulation and ableism. i. didn't mean to write all of that, thiss was originally going to be a main blog post but. aaaaaAAAAAA!!!!!

also no need for replies or anything, i'd turn them off for just the one post if i could kjsndkn, i just needed to get things out and go eep jsjndsfdn ok bye bye bye bye!!!!]

I’m not that knowledgeable about femdom specifically but the difference between jp/kr is so real. Like the female characters in general feel so different… there are so many female characters in manhwa, even random side characters, that are scary and mean (hot), rlly strong/confident personalities, that I just do not see in jp manga. Also have no idea why + smt I’ve been puzzled about. Feel like it can’t just be a translation thing.

It's difficult to fully articulate since 1) who am I to comment on the state of writing for books in languages I do not speak and 2) as a non-native, I'm only ever aware of what stories other people choose to translate and the majority of comics are probably not being translated.

...But with all that acknowledged, yeah. I know exactly what you mean. And I don't know what to make of it either. It's so noticeable if you grew up on manga where even now there's still quite a bit of "waow...a conventionally attractive woman who's 167cm tall, wears pants, and is good at her job...how intimidating..." in work aimed at women

Of course you can find strong/confident personalities in manga and of course #notallmanwha but it's crazy how frequently I'll come across a manwha that sucks ass but still manages to sprinkle in cool, unique, imposing, memorable, cruel, unpleasant, unsettling, etc female characters, who are like that on purpose. What is up with that??? And how do we make that the norm everywhere
