Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

#svsss #scum villian self saving system #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #the fact that people think scum villain #-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me #especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater #heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series #he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters #(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters #like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx #I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes #side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me #i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation #but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years #like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain #the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too #+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu #as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people #another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does #also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be #he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students #and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing #+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this #but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

i keep forgetting to record my art for speedpaint purposes so heres a progress gif instead:

#my art #art process #i also made this and then forgot to post it so in general theres a lot of forgetting happening #one day ill do another speedpaint but yknow #at this point doing lineart is a coin toss #whatever time i save skipping straight to colours is then immediately spent carefully selecting/outlining #all the stuff that would otherwise be paintbucket-filled in like 2 seconds #its not actually any faster tbh

I just thought of the most hilarious next protagonist of Baldur's Gate saga.

(Note what most of the outcomes used as background info here come from the characters' "good" endings. Proceed with caution.)

A child of Durge and Gortash, killed inside their parent's womb when Durge denied Bhaal, resurrected alongside them by Jergal.

A child any of The Dead Three can lay a claim on because they are:

A child of previous chosen of Bane

A child of Bhaalspawn, a bhaalspawn themselves, albeit striped of that when Bhaal took his essence from Durge, killing them instantly.

DIED before even being born, so clearly Myrkul's subject.

Resurrected by Jergal, so there's ties to that as well.

Can be compelled to follow any of The Dead Three paths, or try to play them and set them against each other, or follow Jergal, or forge their own path.

Essentially a child with no fate.

Can look either as Durge (and be any race Durge presented as) or as Gortash.

The last possibility bringing unique encounters and dialogues and character never knowing they can use being Lord Gortash's child to their advantage or ppl they meet were their father's enemies and they need to dash.

Having ties to different fractions depending on who Durge romanced or if Durge not romanced anyone.

Being raised in Underdark if their parent ended up with Minthara.

Same with unascended Astarion, + lots of acquainted spawns in the Underdark.

Being raised in Hell if their parent went to Avernus with Karlach.

Being raised either in Waterdeep if Gale is their stepfather or with Duke freaking Ravengard as a step- grandfather.

Having ties with Selunites if Shadowheart is a woman they call mother.

Being raised in the nature and having Druids call them their own if Durge and Halsin were involved.

Being raised amongst githianki revolution if Lae'zel was their parent's choice of heart. Having their mother leading a rebellion against a god.

Having lots of unique content regarding that.

Possible companions include:

Arabella

Mol

Yenna

That girl who was kidnapped and eaten by auntie Ethel.

Mayrina's child.

A child of lady Janneth and Oscar.

One or several of Jaheira's grandchildren.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #dark urge x gortash #baldurs gate 3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #idk i just think it would be funny #imagine being THAT child. Your parents both fucked up tremendously and when your parent and stepparent saved the day #probably killing your father in the process #the dead three either hate your guts or try to make you their new chosen one #jergal is just...there. occasionally giving you advice. you have questions. he never answers them directly #he also never admits he is in fact Jergal #but you just know #you are in the shadow of your heroic parent and their deeds #can be either a hero greater than them or a villain worse than gortash and pre-tadpole durge combined #everyone knows your parents one or another or even the one who was the chosen of bane and died #you can decide what you think about it #imagine dame aylin just appearing one day and you're just like 'oh yeah...she's kind of my aunt? not really but she is.'#also mayrina names her child after durge. imagine traveling with a person named after your parent. awkward #imagine mystra trying to approach gale's child #or shar - shadowheart's #mizora lingers too close to wyll's special lil one and wyll choses violence

If I may, how do you typically approach choosing colors in your art? It always has just a lovely feel to it, so I was a bit curious; don't feel pressured to answer ofc :]

I’ve been using a lot of gradient maps lately, they work by switching the greys in your piece with a corresponding colour according to its value. Basically, I colour in black and white, grab a gradient map, and then I adjust the colours by hand until I’m happy with it. This isn’t the only kind of colouring I do, but it works great if you’re in a rush or you’re struggling to find a good starting point for your colours. I’ve been operating under a time crunch for these Sketchbook Week drawings and the Plenism promo stuff I made, so for all except one I used gradient maps. I’m actually in a bit of a funk with my colours right now soooo I’ll come back and do a proper colouring tutorial for my style once I’m happier with how my non gradient mapped colours are looking !

#after sketchbook weeks over I wanna sit and do some colour studies to find palettes I’m more happy with #even these gradient map ones I’m not thrilled with #they’re fine! but I could do better #in terms of other tricks I use I’ll often adjust the hues and saturations if the whole piece to give things more unity if I’m struggling #and/or add a new layer on top of everything and fill it with one base colour #and play around with different layer settings and opacities on top #I’ve found a luminosity layer on a low 5-10% setting is quite nice #basicslly I fuck around and find out #and if I’m in a rush I use a gradient map #they’re not neccesarily a quick fix! if you’re like me you’ll still want to do some tweaking after it’s been applied #and you need to pay attention to your values when you’re colouring in black and white #but that’s another good thing about gradient maps - they force you to focus on value over hue which is an important skill to build #so yeah I’ll come back to this and make an actual colouring tutorial once I feel like I have actual good advice to give #cause rn I’m just very meh in my colouring and I don’t think I have anything very helpful to add #need to find some tutorials myself first !#ty for the ask!#ask #art #my art #bpcol-reblogs #textpost #blethering #for this piece the adjustments were minimal in comparison to what I usually do btw #because I was rushinggggg lol #I did more for my Plenism posters n such #but I can’t really show good comparisons because I. didn’t save them like that #I usually smush all my layers together when I’m drawing sooo yeah makes it hard to go back my bad whoops #but I saved as I was going whilst drawing this so I could provide examples yipee!#if I’d been smarter and remembered more I could’ve had more process screenshots butttt oh well lmao

A little late to the party, but I managed to finish my first art fight attack of this year! Stray in his pine marten form for @cassdoodles

Isn't he just gorgeous I knew I had to paint him when I saw his ref ;_;

The mossy log was referenced from a photo from pixabay, the rest of the background and the character/ pose were loosely referenced from parts of various images found on google. The clouds were reffed from my own pic that I (by chance) took on the very same day I started this painting. The bg refs were all more or less sunny, but it's definitely much easier to make sunny ones dull than the other way around XD

#digital #art fight #art fight 2024 #this is a friendly fire #and my next one will be another one XD #probably much more simple tho #I was planning to make a process video of this #but I didn't save the part where I painted the background which is the most interesting part </3 </3 </3 #the devastation I feel #ah well what can you do #maybe I can do another one with a background some time #marten #pine marten #oc #not my oc #idek what tags I have lol #team seafoam

eusgahhhhh goddddd the lazy urge to just beg the internet to mansplain killer's lore to me in baby talk so i can finally GET IT and then the other less appealing urge to actually do an analysis on him so i can form my own opinion and observations. fucj

#im so tired maaaan eudgahhhhhh #i need to come up with more asks to ask people #because apparently i want to do that now. whats wrong with you brain why do you want this #im so TIRED i could EAT a WHALE!#i need to DO IT. I NEED TO ACTUALLY DO A FUCKING KILLER ANALYSIS ITS BEEN TOO LONG #thanksgiving break is coming up will that be enough for me to want to study him with my magnifying glass #this feels like sans and papyrus are the energy controlling angel and demons on my shoulders #speaking of classic undertale this has actually nothing to do with undertale LMAO #but i can just imagine myself as chara in the murder time trio fangame fight #aaaahahahahahaha horror would be so maaad <33333 i DID just destroy his entire au after all :333 #and dust would be FURIOUS!!! BOTH OF THEM!!!! SO PISSED AT ME!!!!#i just took away one's place of achieving a goal and another's place of demented comfort #yeaaaah those two would be SO pissed heehehehehehe #horror never gets to have his potential happy ending because i took it away #dust never gets to honor all those he killed and put an end to what he did because of ME #the murder time trio fangame concept is SO underrated guys. touken-kamui's mtt is AMAZING #and because i look like a chara of course killer's got an entire internal conflict going on #FUCK alright sure. unsure of where this thought process will lead but we ball. me when thinking about anything killer related (i am unsure)#ANOTHER fucking chara messed up his life eruaghhhh and to make things worse they dont even seem to LIKE something new #touken-kamui's chara seems to be a megalomaniac instead of a shitty sadistic scientist #i would look so similar to the one that he doesn't know if he hates or not #should he fight alongside these 2 strangers or should he submit like he always did to his chara. to this NEW chara???#and this is all just assuming this is that 1 ending where killer kills chara and hasnt met nm yet (my favorite ending)#EFUAGH!!!! would killer stay back after the first few minutes. let dust and horror fight in steed of him as he deals w this #the two would be SO annoyed at him too. at this point if i wasn't there they'd probably kill eachother. or killer #well killer can't save or reset in the judgement hall that we got sucked into #so he actually has to put some value to his body and life if he wants to fight me #SEE WHAT I MEAN TOUKEN-KAMUI'S MURDER TIME TRIO IS AWESOME!!!!!#tricule rant #this got totally off topic from what the post was about but i should do it

Actually love that they called the parallel universe Pete's World :) they could've named it after something related to how it differentiates from their universe. Something related to Lumic or Cybus industries, but no, they named it Pete's World, something that is only relevant to Rose and the Doctor by extension. What separates this universe from their one? The fact that cybermen started on earth by an ailing inventor rather than mondas? No. It's the fact that Rose Tyler's father lived in this one without any world ending paradoxes :) that's what the Doctor decided was relevant to differentiate them :)

#dw posting #Doomsday #Tenth Doctor #Rose Tyler #Peter Tyler #Pete's World #idk i was just thinking about it #how pete being alive in that universe is more personally relevant to the three of them than the cybermen #mickeys never met cybermen he doesnt care what the villian is but he knows about roses dad and what happened to him #rose has only seen the cybermen as a head in a museum but her only request was to ses her father to comfort him to try to save him #and split that world in half and lost the doctor to the reapers in the process #the doctor has seen what pete meant to rose has met the man himself has seen how defensive rose is of jackie #has spent afternoons in their flat and knows what it means to both rose and jackie that in another universe pete lived #its just so quintessentially the doctor to choose an emotional and arguably sentimental option rather than a logical or scientific one #to do something so human despite always insisting that theyre a timelord despite what gallifreyan society might suggest

good morning. thinking again of juve and her dog

#oreste garifalle save me. save me oreste garifalle (he cannot even save himself)#i just.. man its so over. by the time they encounter each other juve is the worst shes ever been & oreste doesnt yet know he could be better #so. sure. juve needs to gather the pieces of herself back up and double down on her coping mechanisms but not thinking at all about whats #happened to her/how she was affected by it and by instead fixating on someone elses problems. she needs to offer drive and direction to #another in order to feel more in control of herself #and luckily for her unluckily for himself. by the time she finds him. oreste is only Just stumbling out of a gothic pseudoincest nightmare #in which all of his own wants and desires have been very deliberately placed on a shelf higher than he can reach and hes all too eager #to accidentally replicate previous dynamics (dog) with someone new #so. tldr. juve needs to control/'fix' someone and oreste as of yet only knows how to be controlled/molded in anothers image #which would already be so bad except to top it off. juve is steadily fucking losing it. due to the repression crimes #and even as she tries to distance herself from the emotional aftermath of what she went through. it bleeds into the way she treats oreste #instead. like.#her base level dehumanization of him would already be bad but. as is. in the way it finds her.#juve completely lacks the finesse or grace or awareness to approach it as she normally would #so she instead traps them both in this horrible codependent situation where her 'fixing' oreste mostly involves her going oh! i know!#your problem is that youre not in touch with your anger right? you should be angry about what those guys did to you but youre not rigjt??#so!! easy fix!! lets just get you angry!!!#<- girl who is not entirely wrong but has also never processed any of her own anger a day in her life and Will be projecting #<- girl who will treat you both as a metaphor/extension of herself but Also as a recreation of the previous dynamic she was in with an #excessively angry individual #<- girl who decides the best way to put you in touch with your anger again is by. repeatedly triggering you until you protest #essentially bending your finger back and waiting to see which will come first. you letting it break or begging her to stop #and oreste is always too deeply traumatized and overwhelmed to do anything but let it break. so.#notnow #juve mizani #oreste garifalle #one of my favorite scenes i have planned for them is her making oreste relay what his abuser (kai) looked like. in detail.#as a skinshifter herself.#you see where this is going.#you should send me asks about them btw. if you want. also if you dont

i feel like im going insane has anyone else noticed the sheer amount of times faded is associated with the puppet in the logbook. or asked how faded knows cc well enough to ask such specific questions if theyre supposedly a stranger who shares an animatronic with cc. does anyone question why the vengeful spirit is a random kid.

#fnaf theory #my posts #i made like an essay long comment abt it in response to Yet Another Double Spirit Video #i Will elaborate my findings if anyone asks (please ask)#dual process theory save me...save me dual process theory...the only ones treating fnaf like a Narrative first........#can you tell i have a personal disdain for theorists who treat fnaf like a giant puzzle and not a Story.#and ones who take stuff out of context. like what faded says. esp on pages associated with the puppet.#like. how was faded = charlie and cassidy = cc not the mainline theory.#ik we have dave as Another Name and its the same origin as evan. but personally i think dave is william again #like. wasnt dave miller Already one of his aliases in at least one canon. of course thats william. of course michael writes his dads name

HEARTBREAKING

Worst Dad You Know Has an Extremely Endearing (Now) Reoccurring Character Trait

For further context: this whole FB involved Sharena and Henriette seeking out lockpickers in the Order of Heroes to open this VERY SECURELY locked box from Gustav's room that took Tina's special staff to finally crack open (or rather -- "steal" the contents out of. No one could actually break the lock!)

And the first instance of this!
