#it would draw less attention

[lightblueminecraftorchid]

I do genuinely like my neuroanatomy professor but I am gently shaking him by the shoulders in my mind. Sir you don’t have to vaguepost about me every time I startle. We both know. The whole class knows. “Well usually I like to startle you guys a bit- make sure you remember stuff- but some students get easily frightened…” YOU ONLY SAY THAT AFTER I DO IT. PLEASE STOP.

I tried to draw sheep Machete and goat Vasco (but I am not good at drawing goats, at all)

can't believe i'm still seeing anti-Charles/Edwin arguments in the form of "but there isn't enough representations of male friendship in media not everything has to be romantic (i.e., gay)." in what universe is there suddenly an influx of mainstream gay romances? Fanfic & Ao3 is not, in fact, a good indication of what is actually mainstream - fanfic specifically fills in the GAP left behind in mainstream - there is a reason a lot of popular ships are just, in fact, canonically male best friends (or female best friends).

it's fine not to be keen on Charles/Edwin but honestly I thought the whole "we need more male x male besties :(( otherwise we're gonna have a surplus of gay romances" was considered outdated last decade.

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

Some mild existential dread in the house today

I guess to follow up that I know as a fandom we agree that Odalia favors the twins but I kinda just realize, we haven’t seen her intact with them that much either. Does she favor them really? Or does she neglect them while abusing amity the most? And what do they think of her?

i think the facts that she favors them AND the fact that she just neglects them more while abusing amity more are both true

(i think around early s1 that was one of the sources of their rivalry with amity. amity resented them for being odalia's favorite, they resented amity because she got more attention from both parents)

i think it's best represented by that one scene in coth where she's scolding amity like "you've even got the twins to act out!" (whereas we know well that the twins do not need prompting to "act out" and that their plans for causing chaos were way more extreme than amity's). the mix of blaming amity but also clearly not knowing anything about her oldest children.

i think she may even have moments of expressing affection to them but it's things that just feel hollow. praises that feel more like she's praising herself, expensive gifts that don't suit their tastes at all, etc.

most of what we hear them say about her in canon is just "don't tell mom!" i think they mostly see her as the threat she is. but at the same time their feelings towards her are probably complicated, the way most people's feelings towards their shitty parents are at that age.

i think when they were young, they might have gravitated more towards her than alador, because they were her favorites but not his. but as they grew up they realized that both of their parents were pretty equally neglectful to them.

my headcanon is that soon post-divorce, they're equally wary of both alador and odalia, because both parents neglected them pretty equally throughout their childhood. but as time progresses, alador improves and apologizes while odalia stays stuck in her old ways and refuses to acknowledge her mistakes, so they slowly end up not talking to her anymore. like it's more of a gradual thing than the way amity cut her off. (i had begun exploring this idea in a post-canon fic that i never ended up finishing)

what's crazy to me is multiple times i've received encouragement to start drawing again, even when i mention that the only reason i've considered drawing again is as a desperate ploy for attention

but whenever i talk about my writing i either get ignored or told to "write for yourself"

like just tell me you don't value writing as an art form. it'll be easier than having to dance through whatever the fuck this is

[antimonys-stuff]

YEAHHHHH U GET IT U GET IT I actually never thought abt ororon feeling guilty everytime someone permanently dies due to the abyss but thats such a tasty thought...thinking about how emotionally loaded this aq was for citlali and ororon like it was actually never addressed if ororon stopped feeling guilt for what happened when he was a child. He will probably just continue to feel like he's responsible for Natlans safety in some shape or form for the rest of his life and that haunts me...

Ororon colluding with someone like the first Harbinger, even though the Fatui have had notorious reputations throughout Teyvat, especially in times of crisis just because he saw hope for Natlan in Capitano's plan (and also bc he didn't want the Captain to talk to Citlali) speaks to me like an atonement for the failed ritual which he considers himself guilty for. Even Citlali reasons so! And lets him do his thing, even though she's pissed off about it. Have your chance at catharsis lad, you will soon also have a chance at my shoe, ykwim?

Have you finished AQ4? Because the next thing i'd like to say involves spoilers from AQ4 (i think?? I do not remember. but asking just to be safe)

[wtfforged]

im getting really comfortable with tumblr and now its getting real hard to go back to posting on twt. im especially shy about posting all my recent art on there since a majority of it is fanart now, and i built my following over there on oc stuff...

[starbuck]

i can’t remember if i ever actually made the Ravenous Ghost Bell analysis post, but i wish i had time to make it because i feel like it would be received well in this moment…

Ever since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to be a plot device.

Getting to know the DE art style! It doesn't look very close, but now I know what to use for the next attempt. Dialogue template by Nill_Wavidson on Reddit. Transcript and WIPs of the portrait below the cut.

While I'm here, I also want to call attention to this fundraiser for one of the writers of this game! This is a good way to support an actual creator instead of the studio that forced him and his colleagues out about a year ago. 'This is a fight for another day. Today is just about survival.'

SUSPICIOUS YOUTH - Someone bumps into you from behind.

COMPOSURE [Easy: Failure] - Their soft apology is cut short by Kim's Grundstellung RAO police flashlight which has come alive in your hand against your better judgement.

SUSPICIOUS YOUTH - A young adult of ambiguous gender squints directly at you behind your *mighty* flashlight. They seem more amused than bothered. "Is everything in order, officers?"

AUTHORITY [Medium: Failure] - They must have seen you fumble that interview just now...

EMPATHY [Heroic: Success] - Their tone wasn't mocking. You are simply the most interesting thing they have encountered tonight. A rookie clubber, this one.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Challenging: Success] - Look at the eyes. This person is *sober*.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Easy: Success] - What the fuck.

- "What the fuck?"

- [Logic - Medium 10] What are they doing here?

- "You are under arrest."

- "And what are *you* supposed to be?"

- "I need to ask you some questions." (Continue.)

YOU - "What the fuck?"

SUSPICIOUS YOUTH - "I need you to be more specific than that."

KIM KITSURAGI - "He has a habit of thinking out loud." The Lieutenant glances at you sharply. Blue and purple lights dance on the rim of his glasses. "No questions at this time. You are free to carry on."

ESPRIT DE CORPS [Trivial: Success] - And you, put that damn flashlight away.

- "Kim, I think this might be our guy."

- "Your crimes *will* come to the light, Deceiver!"

- "But I need to ask some questions!" Try to ask some actual questions. While you're at it, maybe turn off the light before the manager throws you out. (Continue.)

- Put the damn flashlight away. [Leave.]

YOU - Put the damn flashlight away.

The sound of somebody choking on their own blood is rarely pleasant. Fortunately for his victim, Copperhead can at least make it quick, his brutal claws tearing into their jugular so that shock is imminent once blood starts spraying. It's not his preferred modus operandi, to be so heavy-handed in his deeds but after last night he knew that time was of the essence to start laying a false trail of his own. A trail of warm blood, gore and ichor.

i need more object-head OCs. it's So imperative to my health

[tiercel]

People who arent even artists having an opinion on art is so grating. Like not talking about tastes or preferences here im talking about the ppl that make it seem like if they dont Personally enjoy or get something out of art it automatically is worthless
