i finished five broken blades
#and.....six of crows has yet to be topped#it's funny how every time a pair of unlikely people have to be paired up for a dangerous mission it's alwayssss compared to soc#and the comparison just never holds up#i am so baffled that this is an adult book bc the writing style was incredibly juvenile. very repetitive. a lot of telling not showing#six of crows had better character work By Far. i really felt who each of those characters were. and i felt how they bonded over time#in this book it was like. there's a bubbly quirky girl and the author's attempts at making her so made me cringe#it was very heavy handed#i could see what she wanted each character to be like but the execution was just not it#there was a part halfway through after they all finally met up where something happened and they had to work together to save someone#and in each character's pov it was just like 'they'd killed and lied for each other' 'they were family beyond blood'#and i was like ??? that's it???? idk i never felt them growing closer to each other. it's like the author relied more on telling us rather#than showing it#and then the romance..... don't get me started on the romance it was so poorly done almost like insta-love???#there was just no time for the feelings to develop it happened so quickly#i wasn't impressed at all#and like. i guess my main problem is too much showing not enough telling#'i can't trust her' 'i can't trust him' 'no one around me can be trusted'#it was so repetitive like okay i get it!!! but i wanted to Feel it. i wanted to feel the messiness and ugliness of this distrust#'we killed and bled for one another'👍🆗#when they all met with each other halfway through i got excited like yessss it's going to be ugly and nasty now i need them to be Messy#esp since this is an adult book i was really looking forward to new levels of debauchery but it was So tame and vanilla????#sure they killed people but nothing was even remotely close to the level of when kaz plucked out that guy's eyeball :(#that was vicious. we all still remember that. i expected that in this book but no....#can't believe six of crows is ya and it's superior to this supposedly adult book#let me list the good things though. it ws a super fast read at 500 pages#and i had no problem distinguishing the 6 povs from each other#and the climax was thrilling my heart pounded all throughout

HOT, SINGLE, UNSTUDIED SPONGES. 3000 NAUTICAL MILES AWAY. Come sail the distance and read Tiger Tiger!
#tiger tiger#ludovica bonnaire#remy bonnaire#jamis arlesi#This comic has been on my radar for *years* and I only recently - finally - sat down to read it. And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy? Do you need a new bra? My hands are free on Thursdays!'#And Ludo! My lass! I love her dearly! Every page made me more fond of her.#Book smart and uses it in very good ways! Naive enough to think it is all she needs! Learns a lot and stays kind through the horrors!#I could go on and on but...you...the person reading this...you *are* going to read it - aren't you?#So I'd hate to spoil you any more! Go read Tiger Tiger! Do it! For the sea sponges!#Rumour has it they are also freshly divorced. It was messy. Sea sponge needs a distraction. That could be you. Distracting that sponge.#You wont know until you click that link and start reading!

One of my favorite headcanons is that Leo grew up watching telenovelas with Splinter.
It just works so well - his bits of Spanish that he spouts randomly, his showy way of apologizing, and, of course, his love for dramatic betrayals all point to this being a very real possibility.
Plus, it’s very cute to imagine a tiny Leo at his father’s side as they both gasp in shock when the show’s eighth plot twist in just as many episodes happens.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt splinter#rise leo#rise splinter#rottmnt headcanons#listen - Leo is there for the camp#if a show’s gonna be super broody and stuff he’s not about it he wants the DRAMA.#very similar reasons why he loves Jupiter Jim Lou Jitsu and magicians#glam rock too!#the camp of it all#the way these things can take even heavy topics and make it more lighthearted with the way they go about them#the way each of these puts importance on putting on a show#idk I think it’s very interesting#but yeah - Leo would totally love telenovelas#did you see him apologizing to Todd??? prime telenovela actress apology right there#the long fluttery lashes the hand to the chest the shiny eyes - like it’s all there#someone said that one of the creators said the telenovelas may be canon?#if so then another tick in the box for ‘oh my god Leo is an amazingly well developed character’

WOAH can we see the skull if thats ok?? that sounds so cool (also only 20€????)
Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):
#like I said it's a real Asian water buffalo skull#these are carved by hand in Indonesia mostly in Bali I believe#to my understanding skull carving is a long standing tradition over there but most pieces like this seem to be made for & sold to tourists#I got this one second (third?) hand and I suspect that perhaps the seller didn't know what it was and what they're worth#and yet they graciously agreed to go through the trouble of packaging it carefully and shipping it to the other side of the country#which couldn't have been very easy since it's a big and heavy skull#answered#apricottheapricat#vulture culture#animal death#cw animal death#taxidermy#cw taxidermy

height ahh difference
#team fortress 2#tf2#science party#red oktoberfest#tf2 medic#tf2 heavy#tf2 engineer#this one's a bit fruity on purpose ahem#alternative title is “Gravel war field medic stands way too close to his patients and dies while taking all the collateral damage”#jokes aside I have been thinking about how medic is tall and if he were to stand really close to engie he'd be looking down onto him#for some reason I just like the idea of him doing that; hands in his pockets; staring at one specific part in engie's face but not his eyes#meanwhile for heavy he has to look up#Hallo mein Großer; wenn ich darf? And just zooms into his face but in a sultry way#put the back of your hand against his chest so it feels like you want to avoid actively touching him but very much do it on purpose#It's like neck and shoulder stretch exercises for medic; ↓↑↓↑#Haha gotcha this was going to be another joke after all#👌#This was the last thing I wanted to draw before work gets super busy again

#kylux#kylo ren#armitage hux#still learning their faces... augh...#didnt draw their gloves simply bc i missed shading hands i apologise orz#one thing i am struggling with but find very interesting#is how drawing kylo it seems he is made of all these harsh dark lines#with very high contrast#vs hux who has much less contrast and looks weird w heavy dark lines#so it's hard to bridge the gap stylistically between the two of them#hopefully i will figure it out...#BUT it is a very enticing difference#my art#also since im late to the actual game of making kylux art i will probably be retreading sooo much ground#🫡 nothing i can do about it... bc i want to retread classics....

Linktober day twelve- favourite game
Skyward sword! My favourite game forever :)) The duets with Fi are by far my favourite gameplay aspect and recurring scenes in the game.
The music is The Ballad of the Goddess with Link's harp accompaniment. I played through on three different instruments like fifteen times, and checked every note on ocarina before I carved it. So. It's very accurate. Close ups of the music +my reference because yes
Also I replaced the treble clef with the triforce
:)
#HIGHLY recommend you tap for quality on this one#linktober#Loz#Zelda#sksw#skyward sword#Fi#Smoll art#dirogjdifjdkfjkfjf#thank you to my friends in DMs who were patient with my fifteen panic attacks (/not literal) trying to carve this#this was very hard and I wanted to make it look good. so I struggled with being heavy handed in areas#this is the level of detail where if my hands started shaking I would have to stop and sleep and come back to it the next day#but I took breaks and stuff so I'm good. kind of. this took six hours for carving- plus like three hours the day before framing the glass#I've never framed glass with this technique so it was slow going#I love music so much#like halfway through doing the music lines (lines not the notes) I realised I had unconsciously started doing deep breathing exercises lol#I just stopped breathing for the notes fidjfjdjfndjf I care a lot hehe#I'm rambling now but that's ok. art <3#invisibly tagging:#sera Peggy Emmie and uni

one day a sinkhole formed in my backyard
it swallowed up the garage, left nothing behind
“thats normal” everyone said, “sinkholes are inevitable”
nobody seemed concerned as it grew bigger
dad just sighed and shrugged his shoulders when it ate his lawnmower
mom just sighed and shrugged her shoulders when it ate her car
it just kept growing bigger and bigger
i found myself walking outside every day just to look at it in horror
the corner of my room started sagging
my closet was the first to go
but it just kept eating
it ate my phone and my computer and my tv and my bookshelf
my parents wouldnt let me sleep in the living room
so every day and every night i sat in my bed and stared at it
i dared it to come closer
“this is normal” i said
“sinkholes are inevitable”
i promised myself as it ate me too
it was one thousand million years of darkness before i woke up again
and everything was put back just the way it was
and everyone remembered the sinkhole, how much it ate
how much of our lives it took away
but still didnt seem concerned
nor surprised that i had survived somehow
dad cut the grass, mom drove to work
and as i struggled and gasped and whined and moaned from the agony of being alive again
every single bone and muscle and nerve and cell in my body on fire
i wondered if my parents were feeling this pain too
and i wondered why i was the only one who cared about the sinkhole in the backyard
#wishy speaks#my art#my writing#uhmmm haiii i wrote a pome#thing#whatever#please clap#im very insecure abt my poetry i feel like im always too heavy handed but i dont want to be too vague either..

i think in the hamster wheel of my mind a big part of where people go wrong with eddie and his shitty garage band as an extension is that they for some bizarre reason think he's gene simmons metal when he's jack black metal. heavy metal. he's tenacious d metal. he's school of rock. he's stoner lord of the rings metal he nearly wore blue jeans and plaid. jack black literally in real life once said eddie was the best character bc he's heavy metal like him. LOOK AT THIS
#🍦#answer it's bc people think he's some mishmash of all alternative scenes without any actual knowledge of where the mashing occurs 😭#eddie is . a heavy metal guy. A cool one. a nice one even. he likes rock and roll#it's so funny when ppl try and describe it and they've never heard the stuff he actually listens to in their lives for some reason#literally so much of the appeal of eddie's character within his subculture is that its theatrical and dramatic but its still grounded#he's very alternative and Out There but he's still just some guy. he's not wearing spiked leather jackets#in fact he's not wearing any of the other kinds of leather jackets i've seen people say he would ... TO ME#sts#if u haven't seen the clip he then proceeds to air guitar the MoP melody then shouts heavy metal is everywhere#i don't even know how to explain this bc it's like ... okay#the general .. VIBE? aestheticsm? is kind of similar to what people sometimes portray but they're missing thst it's tongue in cheek#like it's like that buff poster of him being this anachronistic homage to heavy metal album covers#fire and satanic imagery and skulls and lightning and big drama and ROCK AND ROLL#it's rock and ROLL man...#and people r making him this weird sanitised dork LOL 😭 when he's a dork in a different more fun way.. imo#and it's not that those types of people don't exist and that they're not cool in their own way cuz they are sure but that's not THIS GUY#he is an 80S METALHEAD... and yeah i try and ground him in thinfs and poke and prod at it until it fits my own understanding of alternative#scenes better but that's bc i've had a hand in the punk scene for years and years#i dunno sometimes i feel like ppl r just not doing the full potential and then going way too hard in this super specific direction#and he ends up first of all usually just a massive douchebag not sure what that's about. But a guy who he would in canon HATE 😭#YOU ARE MAKING HIM A POSER. is what i'm saying#he is alwyas some guy before he's anything else and before he's that he's a 20 year old loser#you need to reflect this... You need to bottle it. ugh. ugh#so much of this reminds me of the time someone was like he would never wear PLAID#like are you kidding me. are you actually kidding me rn#ppl have this weird arstheticised mostly modern and mostly literallt just eboy Idea of what he'd wear it's crazy to me sorry#also it's ugly#i also think. this is so long lol . anyway . i also think going too ''authentic'' in the 80s metalhead direction also lands u w different#problems. my advice to people trying to write or draw alternative characters is they are People. before they are anything else#🍏

i think taking a queer theory class would really fix Seven. not just in the obvious way of learning about compulsory heterosexuality & amatonormativity but also seeing that so much queer art is about the deconstruction of personhood and embracing inhumanity & imperfection. and the fact that her very literal struggle with being "human enough" is something marginalized people lived with for centuries (albeit more metaphorically than literally).
#i do very much try to incorporate that queer lens in fanfic about her#most notably the latest chapter of wpou#but writing about it more explicitly feels a bit too heavy handed. maybe i just need to write a full essay or something one day#seven of nine#my posts#definitely not projecting or anything lmao

Inspired by Way Down We Go by @xiaq 🪄
Draco and Harry found a way to snuggle together while remaining as clueless, platonic best bros and it's a bit hilarious and very sweet, so I had to draw it :)
#I recommend this fanfic it's a very tragic fun read :>#xiaq does lots of interesting world building#harry potter#draco malfoy#drarry#hp art#drarry fanart#drarry fanfic#xiaq#harry potter art#wolf#pet wolf#werewolf#doggos are cute#copying xiaq's JK Rowling disclaimer here#because I couldn't phrase it better :>#Obviously we're already operating on the notion that there are several problematic aspects of Rowling's books#but just in case it wasn't clear from my rather heavy-handed narrative adjustments--I do not support TERF extraordinaire JK Rowling; howeve#I refuse to let her shitty worldviews ruin my nostalgia or my love of the HP fandom I've grown up with. Just to make that clear.#werewolf harry potter#way down we go
