Up close look at both Cassidy and Delia:

Challengers but make it Hanamusa with some Yamushipping. I thought this fit them really well (I genuinely just wanted to draw them in tennis outfits fighting over Jessie 😂 I have an outfit I want to draw Jessie in too, if I ever find the time to get it done) and I have a few more ideas for this tennis AU, so fingers crossed I’ll get them drawn once things have settled down at work 🤞

I’m also advocating for a 🍉 family, their last two fundraisers resulted in their PayPal accounts being blocked by PayPal, so I'm organising on behalf of them with their permission and transferring the money raised to them through the bank (This is me being completely transparent for anyone that is uncomfortable, if you are, please do not donate, I will completely understand). (The money that was originally raised isn't lost, PayPal is holding on to it, but they can't fight to get it back in their current conditions since they're moving a lot and WiFi is unstable at the best of times. So if you donated before, do not worry, they'll be able to use that money to rebuild once they've evacuated to a safe place). I’m currently not open for commissions because I’m burnout from the last lot I’ve had to do (it’s the exact reason I don’t do commissions, but this is an emergency), but I am raffling off the Across the Spiderverse Artbook (never used, might as well be brand new) to anyone that donates at least €10. Also, if we manage to get to €7k I’ll draw James and Jessie in all of Barbie and Ken’s outfits from the live action Barbie movie (James will be dressed as Barbie and Jessie as Ken).

I don’t think I have yet come to term to how things went down over the weekend.

Is it wrong to call it harassment by the press? Because make no mistake, while Red Bull bears a huge part of the responsibility for how the situation developed and for not doing anything to stop it, the press is truly the real culprit here. I don’t think there was a single instance over the weekend where someone took his name and it wasn’t followed by ‘potentially his last race’. And this situation has been building up for months. Week in, week out, they’ve constantly harassed him. Daniel, Jacque Villeneuve said you’re worthless. How do you respond to that? Daniel, Helmut Marko has said you’re losing your seat. Is it true? Daniel, we’ve asked your ex-teammate, your current teammate and Lance Stroll if you deserve to stay in Formula One. Daniel, why are you smiling?

Is it any wonder he cracked after one of the most gruelling races of the year?

*puts on my Professor glasses* Macky really knows EXACTLY how to talk to Wukong, let's dissect it! M: Looks like things are going smoothly. W: I say, you've been here the whole time, haven't you? M: FFM is your home, but it's also mine. W: Did you find anything? M: Still nothing, however. Now the Jade Emperor is no longer present. The Celestial Realm already gives me an unsettling feeling. M: Wukong...that kid. W: I understand. M: You have to go and talk to him. W: I know! But...he still isn't ready. M: I see. You're the one who isn't ready, yet. How did you even become a teacher! M: He has to be. We all have to be realistic. W: He's just a kid. We can't let him... M: Who says he's just a kid! Why is it him? When you chose him, did you know? W: I didn't know, I really didn't know! I just followed...a feeling. M: Are you not the least bit worried?! This child has all of your special powers, and he always runs into trouble. Have you never questioned this before? Not a single person knows where he came from. Is it not strange?! M: We still have no clue as to whoever let out Azure Lion. All your old foes returned in one swoop. Are you not even a little- W: Then what about you? You also suddenly came back. M: Argh- M: I say, someone must be manipulating us behind our backs. Especially Xiaotian. But they still haven't succeeded. W: Then tell me. What about you? M: Tell me do you want my help or not?! / W: Not long ago you were still against me! / M: I see, you're just a- / W: ...after I assume you'll teach me how to train my own disciples? ~ Xiaotian Interupts ~ M: Look. That kid has made you his idol. You're his one true hero, but you... W: But I what? M: He has to understand, he doesn't need to carry these burdens. You have to do better. You can really tell whose the chatty one in this relationship XD Wukong might be a lil annoyed, but he's tolerant. And Macky is a little playful turd as always. Where Wukong gets gloomy and concerned, Mac swaps between teasing and serious in a blink. Then things get a lot more strained and tense, but unlike their previous fights, it never escalates into violence. Never a growl, never a raised fist. They're right at the edge, and they drop it. I'm very much interested in the psychology of arguments and when it comes to people latching onto (1) thing a person says and relating it slightly off topic to avoid talking about that other thing, like Wukong is doing here. It's so cool seeing how physical they are in trying to visibly control their emotions around each other, and how they keep trying to hold themselves back from tearing in further, always pausing and halting, and switching to another thing. They're TRYING. Ugh. I think Mac was trying to give a comforting smile at the end, but it's kinda warped by the whole ~ everything else. ~ Anyhow, I like how this starts with Wukong establishing, or rather cementing to Macaque that he believes MK is a kid. And while Macaque argues against that, he did also say before that Wukong should talk to him. And they have their squabble, with Mac pushing Wukong's buttons to get him to say something, BUT the fact this gets resolved with he needs to understand he doesn't need to carry these burdens. YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER. Like of all things Mac could have chosen. He's playing right into what Wukong himself believes, that will overwrite the "MK isn't ready" thing. Because let's face it. Mac is right when he says Wukong also isn't ready for that talk yet. He's so down throughout all this, Wukong probably feels himself that he needs to be better. AND by appealing to the fact MK is a kid, without explicitly stating that, just a statement that cannot be denied, BUT is a subject that undoubtedly, even Wukong cannot avoid. Because he wants better for MK. For him to not walk down the same path as him. Macaque has basically nudged Wukong into having that talk he wanted with MK by reframing it differently from what Wukong wasn't ready for. Thoughts? Critique?

*squishes you* anon…anon, you’re telling me..that this was the actual dialogue between SWK and Macky in 5x01. that what i just read is the translated version of the Mandarin dub. correct?

ok ok cool. i’m cool. gucci. feeling fantastic lemme just

WHAT THE FUCK LMK

ok so i ranted in the tags but realized i forgot to say more things (also i was worried i’d exceed the tag limit bc that is a real thing what do you know!)

so, anon, you said Macky knows how to talk to Wukong and yeah agreed but for me it’s for of the sense of “Macky knows how to get his words under Wukong’s skin”

he knows how to let his words sink in and fester in Wukong’s mind, making him reconsider things or another to help speed up certain decisions or choices Wukong is hesitating on. and ain’t it fascinating how despite how long it’s been since either character have talked or interacted with each other, they still know the ins and outs of their behavior and thoughts.

Macky knows Wukong needs to talk to MK but is holding back. Macky after one answer from Wukong realizes that it’s Wukong who isn’t ready for that conversation and switches tactics to try and breach that mental block

Wukong, in a need to avoid the conversation, brings up the questions surrounding Macky’s reason for even being alive again because that is information neither have talked about and oh hey! Macky is avoiding that conversation too! and it’s an important one to have so he pushes for it, but Macky knows it’s being pushed to avoid their original discussion and is annoyed bc “classic Wukong, never wanting to delve too deep into topics where he’ll need to be vulnerable for” (especially when said vulnerability is with his newly re-allied ex friend Macaroni himself)

god i love them

My designs on how I imagine Zoro's parents looked and were like: Roronoa Arashi and Tera.

If Ushimaru has blue hair, it makes sense that Furiko (Zoro's grandmother) also had it that color. Therefore, Arashi would also have blue hair but maybe less indigo;

And tera, well, a yellowish green/greenish yellow

Mixing both colors, we get Zoro's.

To be honest, I don't like all the Tera designs where they draw her being exactly like Zoro. It's like- Zoro looks like his grandma's side of the family, which means that his features are like his DAD's, not like his mother. I think his personality is mainly from her mom's side though. She was a bandit and Zoro is kinda like "whatever I want, I take it".

Headcanons of how their relationship was:

• Kozaburo, Furiko and other wanted samurais get to a new island that's being controlled by bandits. They help and defeat them. Stablish themselves on the island.

• Furiko falls in love with a swordsman and have Arashi.

• Their personalities are very different. He's calm and focused and she seems to be angry and stressed all the time.

• Arashi and Tera meet and clash a lot also because Arashi's family defeated her family.

• Against all odds, they fall in love eventually and have Zoro.

• Arashi dies fighting pirates as he's helping defend the island. Tera takes care of Zoro until she falls sick and dies.

• Zoro starts roaming and surviving alone, having to fight even adults. Finds the dojo. The rest is story.

i have a dilemma....

so search for spock is back in cinemas in a few weeks but i'm trying to figure out how i'll be able to go

context:

- it's on saturday evening and sunday afternoon

- it's not on at my local cinemas (booo) so i can't walk there myself, and getting to the nearest showing will take like a 45 minute drive at the least (see my rb 😔)

- buses don't run past 8pm-ish

- i'm going on holiday that week. my parents are going very early sunday morning. i was originally going to go later in the week by train (because there wasn't enough room in the car) but now i have the option of going with them on the sunday.

- there's no cinema near where we're going

my options:

1. ask my parents to take me on the saturday which will be very inconvenient for them

2. ask a friend to go with me on the saturday but she might be busy plus she doesn't even watch trek (booo)

3. go on the sunday by bus and then go on holiday by train later in the week

4. be dramatic and stubborn and don't watch it at all and sulk all holiday (kinda leaning towards this.... /j)

discovered that one of the more non-evil use cases for chatGPT is asking it to reword existing writing to be more concise. If this is a thing you struggle with, of course you still need to review and edit carefully, but I was pretty happy with the results and it saved me a lot of time. might help you if you have a word or page maximum on something. godspeed

Hi, im a beginner horror enjoyer and im really disturbed by a lot of gore but i wanna understand the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies bc ive heard theyre hugely influential on the genre (rightly so too)

I figured with all this id ask the foremost texas chainsaw scholar i am aware of

Could you tell me the basics, if its gross (im really bad at tolerating gross out horror and gore played realistic), and any fun tidbits?

If not i thank you for reading and hope you have a good day ^-^

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was hugely influential on the genre and set the standard for low budget horror and inspired future filmmakers to rely more on psychological terror over gore & violence! It was also seemingly the birth of a lot of horror tropes, like big, masked killers and using power tools for weapons.

Texas Chainsaw's story is inspired by serial killers like Ed Gein and Elmer Wayne Henley. The movie’s director, Tobe Hooper, was inspired by the graphic coverage of violence by San Antonio news outlets and based elements of the plot on murderer Ed Gein, who was a notorious serial killer who made furniture out of human body parts and created a mask made of human skin. The movie’s underlying themes are mostly the horrors of isolation, and the dangers of unchecked capitalism. The movie is also a metaphor for the Nixon-era mayhem and the government’s deceit toward the public during the 1970s. Hooper intentionally misled audiences by claiming that the movie was based on a true story to attract a wider audience.

I honestly don't know how to give you the basics aside from a plot synopsis because I would, hand to God, be sitting here for about 12 hours minimum going into every weird little detail, like the intricacies of bubba's mental issues and being forced to take on a female role for his abusive older brothers, or all the absolutely insane shit that happened during filming. And that'd just be me talking about the FIRST film.

But if you want to ask me more questions or see more Texas chainsaw related stuff you can ask/look over at my blog @chainsawhouse. I just hate to gum up my main blog with this particular interest.

Also, my fun tidbit is that they've recently confirmed that there is a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the works, under the title 'Texas Chainsaw Legacy'! Very fun imo.

Hey Alistair Whatcha think about gaags~? ;3

Alistair sighed deeply, covering his face with his palm as he thought of how much rather he'd be dealing with Pep right now instead of these filthy cretins and their even filthier minds..

"there isn't anything that could possibly satiate the vulgar hunger for private information you people possess, is there?" he said.

"well, too bad. the only thing I am going to say on the matter is that gags are useless to me."

with one swift, far too abrupt motion, the brit seized the asker's throat with one hand, digging his nails deep into his skin. "what fun would mangling and tearing apart flesh really be, if I wasn't able to hear my victim's deafening screams, pointless pleads and desperate gurgles for breath before I see the light fade from their eyes?"

a dark chuckle passed his lips as he smiled. "if they still have their eyes through the whole procedure, of course.."

...

okay, now on to the actual information:

Alistair, fo pretty obvious reasons, used to hate gags! or rather, he was uneasy whenever he was presented with one (by Ceb and/or Fel) with the intention of having him wear it.

however, it was an unease that gradually went away with the help of his loving and patient partners

and over time, he began to like it! at first, he found it to be a pretty good solution to his own noises (because he HATES the noises he makes during lovemaking- he finds them to be horrid) but eventually he simply enjoyed having something to bite into, whilst his lovers go rather rough on him asdfghjkl

but he also just loves how excited Ceb gets about them! mind you, it's always Ceb who introduces toys and gadgets into their 'bedtime', while Alistair would never even think about something so scandalous!

but Alistair's almost pearl clutching shock over it gets replaced by curiosity and intruige VERY quickly when he sees just how enthusiastic Ceb is and even moreso when he tells him that he "picked them out just for him"

(because wow, that really gets this man's heart going!! @///u///@)

Family Portrait - "our own familia of two"

okay i have a whole ass google doc coming together with all of their general symbolism n shit so this is just where its relevant to this piece

1- inverse colour pallets. white/black, Gold/silver, orange/blue.

2- the rays. Celias gold turns into red as it gets futher form her- and closer to her brother. he golden sucess is stained bc of him his ice/masks thaws when he gets closer to her. her rays are on top of his

3- background. purple is combination of their main colours, but its darker, showing Celia is the main person here, also see how her rays blend better into teh background. also purple= rishces n royalty

4- she is standing behind him [supporting him] but the hand on teh sholder shows she in control.

5- seat- hes sitting on a seat in her colours, shes the one whos giving him the platform to take the lead on.

6- distance- they are fairly far appart, Celia reaching forwards but otherwise standing behind him

7- blank space- the balance is off and it feels like someone should be standing on the left- and that person is their mother, absent but in a way that haunts the relationship- she defines them, throwing them off balance, by her leaving.
