did a little sketch yesterday that i really liked and tried to get it done today just so i got literally anything to post- but i fell into the trap of 'making sketches to elaborate and thus really stiff and non fun' (for me), ... soooooo .. im redoing the whole thing

but the idea was a mummy ganondorf for my (yes still existing) totk rewrite; i wanted to make him more scary looking and also emphasize just how horrid it must be to be kept in between life and death by having your heart grabbed by a cold and vengeful magical hand for thousands of years (in this case the ancient queen .. which i also tried to sketch despite not showing up aside from her dissolving hand)

the spell starting to fail and his body being more damaged in some parts (jaw being only the bones left for example) and his chest open from being slowly eaten up by the queens magic, the ribs contorting around it like its a gravitational pull- sounds cooler than it looks bc this sketch did not work out, so im saving the details for the .. hopefully, better version

I was 13 when Gravity Falls came out, which was the perfect age to really get swept up in all the secret codes/theories/general ooky spooky vibes of the fandom. It really was one of the most exciting experiences I've ever had with a TV show. I wouldn't have had this much fun if I wasn't 13. If I had just been a few years older, I would have been significantly smarter. But I WASNT. So I thought I was watching some sinister creepypasta type shit somehow sneak its way onto Disney Channel. I thought it was run by the Illuminati even though I didn't actually know what the illuminati was. I thought the cute silly vibe was all a ruse and it was eventually gonna take a really scary bloody gorey turn. I thought the show was gonna end in the twins getting ritualistically sacrificed or something. I thought Mabel was gonna get betrayed by Lebam.

Paris has had seasonal infestations every summer, but the trend has been steadily increasing each year. Over 1 in 10 households experienced bedbugs from 2017 to 2022.

the bob dylan movie was okay

[puppppppppy]

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

has happened plenty around iconis goings on but what an all-timer

I find it funny how the fandom begged for an edgy darker ppg, cause they did that with the ppg movie already and viewers and even Craig claimed it was TOO DARK

I think what he claimed was that he wished it was a little lighter and sillier, not so heavy the whole time, but I get why he made the movie more heavily action packed after seeing the merchandise skew the way of cutesy jewelry and fashion kits... so basically the other way that people misinterpret the show (...and, actually, after literal years of ruminating about that, I would probably consider writing a whole post about that whole phenomenon, but that's a whole 'nother topic for a whole 'nother day). I think darkness has its place, and stuff like gore does, too, but it is interesting how it seems that that certain subsection of the fandom just craves and begs for, like, all out misery and maliciousness and seriousness, no silliness, no levity, always, all the time. It's sort of creepy.

that sadness that hits when you read a book you expected to be 5 stars and in the end it's just. Not.

God I missed David and Catherine. I missed Russell’s writing. The first special was so fun. 😭😭

con: i have the second worst hangover i have ever had and have been fighting for my fucking life just to eat saltines

Don Thousand doesn’t like the mortal form he’s found himself shoved into more and more often. It’s uncomfortable, a restrictive feeling of containment that his magic is unused to. The pressure of human skin and oddity in comparison to the spiritual void of energy he subsists on. Subsequently, his newest feeding source isn’t the most powerful source for him either.

The little white haired human he’s tethered to is lonely. That’s what he’s noticed most throughout his time on this earth. He maintains a distance in all his friendships that no one seems to notice, let alone try to cross. The entity does nothing to dissuade from this fact either.

Neither creature seems enthused by their state of body sharing. Don Thousand gets that tidbit rather quickly, especially with how the first thing the boy asked of him was to beg to be rid of the entity. Not for its destruction, or its elimination, but through a more peaceful path. Despite himself, Don Thousand finds himself intrigued by the duo, growing increasingly (yet frustratingly) fond of the two as time passes.

Comparatively, the entity utterly refuses to accept any sort of absolution of its crimes. It grows angry if the boy attempts to offer it remission for the crimes it committed. What these entail Don Thousand knows not, and the boy doesn’t seem all that aware either, but he tries anyway.

Don Thousand finds them fascinating. He finds the whole world this boy is showing him to be more so. The other children the boy befriends and introduces to him, even including the broody one and the one who seems to be in the same boat as Don Thousand’s summoner. Their entity is much warmer than the one his boy has. Friendly, if he dared to give an entity that title.

He’s grown to adore the little old human nearby to his boy. She’s oh so kind, yet grumpy nonetheless. (A mimicry of someone Don Thousand used to know. If he were here-). He loves the flowers that the young children of the building his boy goes to daily are planting along its borders, brick walls stained with greens and pinks among other shades.

He finds a new companion in his boys neighbor, a human who appears neither too young nor too old and reminds Don Thousand of simpler times. He knows she would have found his new domesticity to be laughable. Someone like him, cruel and wild spirited, tamed by a mere boy and his entity?

Yet he cannot find it in himself to regret it. As the days pass, as the entity unenthusiastically begins to thaw around the edges, as his boy opens up more, all he can hope is that this newfound freedom will never end.

Not related, but please listen to this song because I love it so much and even if it doesn’t thematically match (it kind of does but not 100% so I leave that up to interpretation) I love it a lot because it matches the vibes.

ALSO! I’ll make a proper post about it but if anyone cares to, please drop some prompts (one word, a sentence, anything) that I can write something for :)!

Coincidentally "ohh doggy!" Is the same thing that comes to mind spotting you out in the wild of my dashboard

Don't have any fucking doggy reaction pics only kitty cat and horsey so have this crude edit. Wags my tail at this ^_^ correct reaction too. If you catch me around you gotta do a Tommy Wiseau and hit me with the oh hi doggy!. It's the morally correct choice.
