tikal the echidna from hit game sonic adventure

I just draw the sonic guys like furries because i think its fun + if you're drawing sonic fanart you're like 3/4 of the way to just drawing furries anyway but i did want to actually attempt The Style(tm)

grief will have you saying shit like goddamn and fuck maybe the abuse was worth it

[foxgloveinspace]

I’m kinda sad cause the Sleep Token obsession is ending on my end but not in a ‘I don’t love them’ kinda way, they are still my favorite band ever, I just……. Am not as obsessed.

there are no winners in war :')

sliding back into my musical phase (send thoughts and prayers pls. and chocolate too); currently listening to hamilton, the sweeney todd soundtrack is next and some waitress is in my playlist as we speak.

anyhows epic the musical somehow doesnt have a wikipedia page lol? hadestown does tho and im intrigued. can anyone be kind enough to give me a run down of one or both? be as thorough as u want, i need someone to explain to me exactly what im getting myself into bc its going to hurt like a mf i know it and this is literally the worst period in my life to collect obsessions like no tomorrow but hey its too late for that now lol. what can i say i hate myself ಥ_ಥ

[realbeefman]

how do ppl write house casefics i've been beating my head over this shit all day. i can't come up with a mystery i can't contrive a reason why house Needs to be Involved in the plot. i am fighting for my LIFE

[cloudd-nyne]

To people @ ing me and like. Just in general trying to involve me: i love you, im sorry im very bad at engaging and replying rn my social abilities are basically dead i genuinely love and appreciate it so so much yes you reading this i appreciate YOU so much plz do not think i hate you i swear i do not i just. Suck at soical anything rn. Replying to messages is hard. Reblog games are hard. Reading fic is *extremely* hard right now.

I know i sound like a dick bc i come on here and gush and post tons about my ideas and ships and i should be giving back if i want engagement. I know this. Im trying i swear. I appreciate you all. A lot.

My (Pretty Quick) Review on Haven - Marianas Trench (2024)

PSA: So my plan is to write a total of probably 3 reviews of Haven. this one being the short one with just rating each song from 1-10 with small commentary. the second being an extension of this one with better commentary for each song, and the third being a review as an album in general instead of focusing on each song. I just have way too many thoughts and I don't want to overwhelm anyone with everything in one post. It also helps me keep my thoughts organized. I just want to join in the fun (despite me being a few weeks late to the party)

okie thanks! :D

Normal Life: ngl it took me a few listens to really like it. But when it hit, it HIT. Not the best opener in their discography tho. 8/10

Lightning and Thunder: i like it as a single, but kind of flops compared to the other songs in the album. Still a bop tho 6/10

I’m Not Getting Better: it took me a two relistens to like it. Again, good as a single but something about it just gives “FOR RADIO”. Can tell they drew some inspo from the 80s and seems a little Astoria-esque (still don’t know if I like it tho). 5/10

Down to You: first single that I automatically fell in love with. However, it sounds way too similar to Kid Laroi’s Stay in some parts and I don’t like that 💀 7/10

Now or Never: 😬 guys, I’ve seen your reviews and I was surprised to see this was a fan favorite. It was not mine (pls don’t kill me 💀). Lyrics,, a little cheesy. Production,, a little boring to me tbh. However not a bad song. Vocals are killer - as always - 4/10

Into the Storm: lyrics are nice (still a little cheesy tho). Production and composition, awesome ! Josh really worked his ass fr. Love the crescendos here. Sounds like it will be killer live. 7/10

Ancient History: another fan favorite for some reason that I was surprised with. Melodically: fan of the verses, not a fan of the chorus (more on that later). Saxophone goes HARD tho 🎷🎷 serviceable bop 5/10

Stand and Fight: pretty good song in the context of the album. Not so good standalone (a little debatable). Josh’s vocals made me tear up hear tho. Gets pretty inspiring 🥹 7/10

Turn and Run: same review as stand and fight except it’s inspiring in a different way. To me: (masterpiece theater II —> Masterpiece Theater 2009) = (turn and run —> Haven 2024) idk if that makes sense but it’s an analogy. Sounds like it’ll be killer in live 6/10

Worlds Collide: BANGER BANGER BANGER. I liked it when I first heard it but it took me til the third to be like “ 🥹I get it.” This song was made for ME. The masterpiece theater references made me tear up. The drama, the composition. Spectacular. However, in the context of the album, it gets held back. More on this song later. 9.75/10

Nights Like These: giving “story of tonight”. Sweet message. Sweet song. (Congrats to josh btw!)6/10

Remember Me By: SLAPS!! Straight up. Loved it as soon as I heard it. Catchy and love the 80s vibe here a lot more. Also reminds me of Try Me from his solo project. Certified BOP 9/10

Haven: KILLER OUTRO! Once more, marianas Trench knocks it out of the park with their outros. I think this is their most ambitious and musically complex song yet and it tears me up how far they’ve come 🥲🥲. 10/10⭐️

Final Notes: Solid album, not my favorite album. I have a bajillion more thoughts on this album because I’m batshit crazy about Marianas Trench. I’m so HAPPY we got new music and hopefully I get to see them soon!!! (my date got postponed 🥲)

Overall Rating: 8/10 💕

Stay tuned for my in depth analysis 👍

[asteraws]

3, 16, 30 for the ask game if you want? love your art btws!!!

3. What ideas come from when you were little

ok ngl im having a hard time understandin this one cuz how little are we talking and what does ideas mean.. its funny cuz i almost never post about my ocs its almost all just fanart here (which idk doesnt really have room for new ideas unless its from whatever the game/show is) so even if i did talk abt them no one would get it except for like 3 of my mooties 💀 i guess i try to put in personal experiences here n there when i draw for my ocs!

16. Something you are good at but don't really have fun doing

lowkey im kinda mid at everythignFJSHKLAFJDFLSJDF (anatomy, lineart) so if i feel like im good at something then ill most likely enjoy it. i like coloring n painting and stylizing characters n stuff but i have trouble applying myself and making full illustrations that tell narratives... i can shit out a bunch of sketches and have so much fun doing that but finishing full pieces... girl

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

its hard to call most of what i post on here a full piece (TO ME) so out of the illusts i have on here uhhhh i still think this mari painting is my favorite thing ever but creepy things arent everyones cup of tea so i get it lawl

[masonscig]

ok ok it’s HAPPENING
