so grateful to be a balanced mix of arab and american culture. the way american culture handles family is so fucking cold

idk if it's fair to blame the chronically online brain (or the expectation thereof from writers) for recent movies being as subtle as a sledgehammer to the temple but i will either way. first the substance and now mickey 17 seem to have absolutely no faith in their audience's comprehension skills and just, hand you the metaphor and then make sure you got it about 80 billion times. maybe it's good to have such an obvious message in these times, especially given people's habit to interpret satirical characters as role models, but when your main antagonist looks about 2 foundation shades away from an snl trump impression it feels like you're just making bad art

As much as Phoenix using Maya/Mia to get information out of Victor Kudo during Recipe for Turnabout makes me uncomfortable because he basically blindsided her with a situation in which her being ogled was literally the whole point (even if he didn't foresee it not working and Maya deciding to channel her sister as a result), I can't help but be fascinated by Mia's whole behavior in that scene and how it reminds me of Dahlia. The fact that they both hide that they'd really rather not be there with a polite smile and take full advantage of their femininity to nullify the potential threat of men and get what they want from them? It can't be a coincidence—it's gotta be a deliberate parallel on the part of the writers because there's simply no way they weren't highlighting that Mia and Dahlia can't wash away the similarity of their mannerisms despite the fact they're mortal (immortal?) enemies. There's no way they weren't using this to slyly foreshadow the fact that they're related do you guys SEE MY VISION

I'd like to quickly say something as my blog keeps on growing and inspires new daily blogs. Never in any way shape or form compare yourself to what I have been doing here for the last four years. It isn't good for you, I am too much of an outlier to be a good comparison point.

I began drawing Whis every day in a time where I needed something to hold onto and by some luck I had a perfect moment every single day after dinner to draw my whis for the day. It has become a key piece of my daily routine, nearly the only thing I will know for sure I'll do. This isn't something easy to achieve and honestly stiffens me a bit for other activities, but I have grown so attached to Whis that I gladly take this responsibility. Daily Whis is my job and I enjoy it (usually)

I've been going at it for four years now, but it hasn't always been smooth for me either. Outside circumstances (like exams) or my dwindling mental health have at many points forced me to skip days or really plan ahead to have Whisses prepped in advance (I tell you, when I went to Greece for a good 11 days last year, I was working overtime to have all the Whisses I needed for the trip).

Sometimes I do just want to skip a day because I'm too tired or distracted by another thing and it's fine. I only make it a problem for myself because I have this daily gimmick and an anniversary to celebrate every year, but most daily blogs don't have such strict constraints and that's good.

These blogs are supposed to be fun. It is fun to draw a specific character/thing every day, it is especially rewarding if you can hold onto it for a little while and see how you've grown since you started. Day 1 of daily Whis looks so less good compared to my recent art, but it's incredible to be able to look back at all the progress I've made in the four years I've been at it. But in all, this is just supposed to be fun, art is supposed to be fun and these blogs are never an obligation to hold onto. I've managed it, but through a collision of circumstances so unlikely and specific that it's really a miracle I'm still working.

Doing it daily is a good challenge, it forces you to try and keep a stricter schedule on the drawings you want to post. It teaches you time management (usually. Be aware that sometimes you'll still start pieces that are a bit too big half an hour before posting time. Or at least I do), drawing every day improves your skills by practicing a little every day and is just fun. Sometimes you really need to just draw the character standing there and it's amazing you can just do that and share it with people who will enjoy it.

But doing it daily is still challenge and not something your life depends on. Not everyone has the time to manage a daily blog, it does take an hour out of every day where you could be doing something else, or you don't have access to your art equipment (I've downloaded an art program on my phone to make quick 5 minute doodles for those days I'm away from my computer when it's posting time, but nobody should be forced to do this) or life just gets in the way damnit.

So I want everyone to know I feel so incredibly honored to be the source of inspiration for other daily blogs to begin, but please do not force yourself to draw if you're not feeling inspired or well or you don't have the time or literally any other reason and please, if those reasons do come in the way don't feel guilty about it. Draw while the joy is there and if you want to challenge yourself by doing a daily, absolutely do so, but take care of yourself and just focus on what's enjoyable and that isn't the same for everyone.

how do i turn qantoine’s spontaneous marriage proposal to qetoiles into evidence of his early-days fear of qfrench drifing away and keeping secrets from one another

[moghedien]

like ready to be proven wrong, but I don't think that Cadsuane is necessarily gonna appear any earlier than she did in the books. I think they're just setting her up better than in the books (ie not introducing her as an important player like right before she shows up and expecting us to be impressed by that)

Before I went to bed I saw the Youtube notif that TADC was going to Netflix and it INVADED my dreams so vividly I have not had such an episodic sequential serialized cohesive dream in months it was literally its own chapter its own short story

[canadiancryptid]

Finally got around to finishing Netflix's ATLA adaptation. I have a LOT of notes, but I think the biggest one is this:

At the end of Season 1 of the original, Aang had at least started learning waterbending alongside Katara, and a little bit of Firebending with Jeong Jeong. Outside of the Avatar State, he had at least started 3/4 elements.

By the same point in NATLA, he's only at 1/4. I don't think this kid has bent a single drop of water. So far he is just a *really* good airbender who can do some spirit world stuff. That should give you a good idea as to why I have a few issues with it.

I wanted to go on a drawing spree yesterday, but I could only muster these two before dozing off.

First one, even if I'm not that sure about how I drew her face shape in this angle (and most importantly I forgot her neck and torso bandages OOPS) I do really like how most of the drawing came out. And at least it isn't a bland bust this time, though I'm pretty sure I've already drawn a pose like this before. (Oh no the next drawing is a 3/4 bust again..)

Second, yesterday I saw an artist draw some of the coolest redesigns ever for a different media piece, and thought about the many awesome gg redesigns I often see so I wanted to give A.B.A a spin... Except I was out of ideas so most of this drawing is her regular design haha. I got too tired to even try to attempt to draw the rest of the body and half-assed the key but I like the vibes and pose (even if I.. think I made her neck a bit too long? Old habits die hard... Necks are my enemies when drawing!)

I like the idea of her having a key take on the classic frankenstein bolts (though wait, her head key is referred to as a screw. Would this also be a screw or key shaped bolts??-)

do you ever think garth has ever thought about k*lling himself (since he has such a shitty life)

Honestly? Not really, no.

Despite everything Garth has been through, I don't think he was ever actively or even passively suicidal. One of Garth's defining traits is his perseverance and ability to see the bright side. And while there have been moments where his emotional state was too wrecked for him to do that, he never actually wanted to kill himself. Tbh, I don't think he ever even thought about it.

That being said, I do think there were certain times (specifically after Tula's death, after Dolphin and Cerdian's deaths, and during sword of atlantis) where he really questioned his life. He felt immense guilt for Tula's death, and while he would obviously have preferred she just stayed alive, I think he also had moments where he wished it had been him instead or that he had died with her. Same with Dolphin and Cerdian. And during sword of atlantis where he's not really himself and angry at the world for what he's been through.

Sometimes Garth has these moments where he feels really lost and starts to contemplate his existence and his place in the world. He starts to wonder if life is worth living or if things would've been better if Arthur never found him or if he died before Arthur got the chance. If certain people would still be alive if they had never met him. But these moments are rare and specifically happen when he's grieving. And despite these feelings, he's never actually thought about killing himself.

Mostly I think Garth has occasionally romanticized the idea of being able to save someone with his sacrifice.
