#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.

[curse-of-dming-strahd]

every time I think I've finally processed all the weird shit in curse of strahd, I remember there's a mirror somewhere in the Baron's mansion that can like SUMMON A GHOST ASSASSIN and if you do this very specific thing that almost no one would ever do unprompted, there's a 50% chance that Strahd will suddenly join your zoom meeting and invite you to dinner.

like, from a design perspective, I don't know how I'm going to get my party to go into this room, let alone interact with this fucking mirror, why did they put so many mechanics here

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.

[tsbs-shipfessions]

there's really no easy way to say it, but...

hi, mod speaking!!

i think it's about time i officially throw in the towel for this blog. i haven't been interested in sams for months, nearing a whole year by now, but i kept this place going cause i loved all the reoccurring folks here (and i still do!) and it made me happy to create and cultivate this lil space

but, i no longer have the time nor motivation to continue coming up with responses and queueing confessions. not to mention most members of TCF have either moved onto other fandoms as well, or are uninterested in returning to their roles ^^'

what does that mean for this blog? is it going bye-bye?

nope! im just gonna put it away in like a little museum box. it wont be deleted, just a memorial of some past and hopefully fun memories from my times as this strange little solar-shaped showhost

all the confessions in my inbox will be put into the queue, i am going to move the queue from 5 posts a day to 3, and then- come tomorrow (4/15/25), whenever i wake up and get online, im officially closing my confessions. aka- confess away to your hearts content for the final, like.. 20-ish hours you have left to!!! go ahead, lay yourself bare, your most secret, crack-shippiest ships and scenarios! go for it!!! a one-and-only-time deal!!!

ahem. alright yeah that's pretty much it lol

thank you to everyone who's been here on this silly little blog. whether you were here since the beginning, or only found it yesterday, i appreciate you having stopped by and taking a gander

i hope you all have wonderful, wonderful lives, and please, feel free to come back to the museum if you ever need a good laugh, it will always be waiting <3

[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).

[Personal reminder: Beetle stop starting wips when you're already busy/silly]

things penguins say, apparently:

This was easily one of the best Lupin episodes

pov: you're a q!bad main / theorist

[mrnnki]

doing this without including chapters I haven't published yet was a challenge because there are so many juicy moments in the vault, so I settled for highlighting the Starscream-Skywarp situation

[toxetta]

here i am, all alone in my bedroom late at night. it sure would be a shame if a cute creepy stalker broke into my house while i'm asleep, and suffocated me by smothering me with their love and / or my pillow hehe ;3

[amelikos]

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..

[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 :)

So I get back from my mini semi-hiatus because in a few days there will be WWDITS s6 premiere and I can't miss the craziness of tumblr about the last season, and apparently I missed: - S3 of Go almost definitely cancelled cause ˚.✦.˳·˖✶⋆Rumors⋆✶ .˳·˖✦˚ - S3 of Go suddenly alive again (but what about booting NG out?) - Now it's a movie called The Finale (so new script???) - But it's all ˚.✦.˳·˖✶⋆rumors⋆✶ .˳·˖✦˚ and they're all contradictory - A bazillion of sexy backstage photos of our comedic Duo

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
