Quail, so confusing
#hatoful boyfriend#hitori uzune#nanaki kazuaki#holiday star#this was funny to me but i showed my friend and they were like. u r sick in the head LOLL#Im considering this my compromise because making an amv to know me by sean altman is just. too much#but 38 seconds of girl so confusing is doable and had me giggling the whole time#tw flashing lights#KINDA. JUST TO BE SAFE#its kinda messy and sloppy but i hope everyone can forgive me since this was mostly a bit that is only funny to me#on a real note part of me was conflicted about whether this is kinda ooc#cuz i think a big part of nanakis pov is how blind sided he was because of how much he trusted hitori#but part of me cant shake the feeling that hitori probably had to keep holding his hand and convincing him up until the very last moment#cuz nanaki says so himself its not like he wanted this#i think he just wanted to be with hitori and if it meant doing this then..#idk. they are so unwell i want to study them

official final fantasy vii valentines
(like actually posted by the official ffvii twitter account)










some of them are so normal and even mildly romantic (sephiroths… i would fall in love immediately if someone said that to me…) but then there’s cait sith… controlled by a 36 year old man… making a cat pun… (i would also fall in love immediately tbh…)
#i would fall in love with most of them actually…#everything about cait sith is very funny to me since its all literally just reeve… a stressed out grown man… rp’ing a scottish cat#(i know theres more to cait sith than just reeve but it’s funnier to think its mostly reeve)#also what part of aerith’s is actually romantic??? the rest are pretty basic but what’s romantic about being a bodyguard 😭#(actually i think i kinda get it tbh…)#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy 7#cloud strife#barret wallace#tifa lockhart#aerith gainsborough#red xiii#yuffie kisaragi#cait sith#vincent valentine#cid highwind#sephiroth#i accidentally made this post kinda be about reeve more than i meant to… oops… sorry…

personally I think curly's real name is actually Cuthbert and he Hates it so much and curly is his attempt to seem somewhat cooler and less of a bullying target (Jimmy knows his real name and on Pain Of Death he is never allowed to speak it ever)
#catfish speaks#mouthwashing#captain curly#curly mouthwashing#sorry not sorry curly is a meek slightly wet cat loser to me#i come from a long culture of making up stupid nicknames for people (australian)#and the second i saw curly's name i was like 'thats a nickname for something embarrassing he hates'#no shade to tue person who figured out all the names of the characters but i Hate most of them#'''grant curly''' im not fucking calling him that he is Cuthbert to me and thats final#Jimmy zare is. interesting. i like the idea of him having mixed heritage but in a second generation twice removed kinda way#like his grandparents emigrated and his familys been in Melbourne ever since and are technically white but it's complicated#Anya. babygirl anya. i wish i knew more about this naming decision#why a japanese one??? im m#mostly just baffled??? like. anything vaguely russian/Ukrainian/czech/baltic would have made sense. even a white name. but Japanese???#i wish i knew more about the naming decision here#same with daisuke#i thino probably cos the game is meant to be set in america the prevalance of hispanic names makes sense there#im just. again Wondering about the thought process#swansea i caj accrpt but personally i like to think its his last name#and his first name is David cos that's welsh and swansea the place is. is it in wales??? i cannae remember#ok googled it and it is Welsh#also kimda funny thay googling it brought up the place in tasmania. ah colonialism </3#anyway. thats all.#curly is actually Cuthbert is the one i have strongest feelings about#followed by anya

Happy 4/13, here's the Deltritan or Satyr Equivalent to Dragon Ball for their species and civilization.
#this was originally just satyr goku but uhhhh then i started thinking of more ideas with tien shinhan and krillin and bulma so uh yeahh#bulma's was rushed near the end; did all this on mouse and keyboard not a tablet and pen or phone & over 50 layers lmao#yes I spent way too long on this and yes i am mostly proud of it xD wanted to do something for 4/13 so here you go hs fandom#also partner wanted to see this idea realized since i had joked about it so i said screw it i'll make it real#instead of Shenron it's a Draconequus like Discord thus Draconequus ball instead of dragon ball collect his chaos orbs idk#once enough chaos magic is gathered in his orbs he will be summoned and grant one wish you get the idea; Dirk likes MLP#so i figure a narrative made by him would have influences of his subconscious yknow? just made sense in my mind#but yeah so here's some satyr headcanons for the satyrs species in hsbc in the form of a poster you would find in a omega kids room#i suppose if they're also called that but i guess we don't know yet; we don't know much of anything but wanted to get this out b4 413#juuust in case one gets revealed on 4/13 and I get something correct it would be really neat and funny :)#no its not perfect it was meant to be a rushed silly edit then went further and just kept going; i know there's issues all over lol#anyway here's my deltritus prediction that at least one kid will have some kind of anime poster and it'll be a legally distinct parody thin#we got some horse themes and some aquatic elements in there and the non-humans i didnt have time to edit ideas in for lol#ran out of time with Roshi and Yamcha so they're gonna be rthe classic greyscale humans just because i gotta rest soon and april 13#homestuck beyond canon#homestuck#homestuck satyr#homestuck fanart#413#4/13#this was an old dvd or vhs poster that somehow has adult piccolo with the rest of the original gang lol this is a joke edit but also#i drew stuff so going in fanart tag c: <3 no reference just drew some stuff on; the nose for son goku was from zoidberg futurama thou#lets see how much of this gets proven false or true or if we just don't see any hints of the new species at all tomorrow xD

For @sansebastinae and @boisinnot, my fellow saint seb truthers :)
+ the usual
Yayyyy finished a drawing! Haha only took me...2 weeks. I kept going back and forth on whether I could finish it tonight, and I really wasn't going to. But then I looked at the unfinished version on a different screen and was like oh? Not too bad actually?? So I finished it :) First of all, ofc, here is the process. Kinda weird seeing it for smth like this, it makes me feel like I'm the painter in rennaisance au, not Mark dhjfkf



Ah I was gonna draw a silly renaissance au comic to accompany this(read: lighten the mood), but it's 5 am and I've still not really drafted it well, so! I'd like to finish it at some point bcs I wanna draw more chibi comics, but when I finish smth, I can't help but immediately want to post it, so part 2 will have to wait. I'll show you the outline though so you can at least imagine 😭

^ So many renaissance and beyond paintings of Saint Sebastian are always the most horny thing ever. Like pre/early rennaisance, yeah he was naked and all that, but they were pretty chaste, and uhhhhh suffering?? Well the newer paintings are suffering, but in a different way, if you know what I mean.
So I feel like Mark's the type to be overly pedantic about it, and refuses to make borderline porn of a saint, I mean, god forbid, Seb!!! But then he just. Does anyways. Because he can't control his lust for Seb even when drawing him half dead. I just imagine him holding the paintbrush in a death grip like "must not be horny. Must not draw him sexy. Must make him chaste." And then he ends up with the one seen above. Seb is all smug about it. "Wow you'd wanna fuck me even while I'm all bloody and dying? 🥺"
Mark: "oh I'll make you bloody, alright."
But god so funny to imagine Seb doing all these different slutty poses, like arching his back as much as possible, the cloth nearly falling off at all times, etc etc. And Mark finally lands on this pose bcs he hopes the suffering will outweigh the horny. It doesn't. Also Seb is genuinely serious once he actually gets into the pose, focus mode on. And honestly that's even worse for Mark, bcs it's so much more arousing to see Seb in his element, focused. Tbf I think Seb could be drinking water, and Mark would still find some way to sexualize it. Don't look at his sketches!! They're just filled with Seb doing all kinds of random activities.
Also! Here is the painting I referenced this off of, must give credit where credit is due ofc

The Dying St. Sebastian by François Fabre
Also this isn't really relevant in the context of this drawing specifically. But I looked thru a bunch of Saint Sebastian paintings while trying to find one I could reference, and I came across this middle ages one that actually looks so much like boy king seb 😭 I guess it really is meant to be!

St Sebastian between St Roch and St Peter by Pietro Perugino
Lmao but do you see the difference between early rennaisance and later work???
#i cannot control myself anymore i must draw dark things :)#past 3/4 drawings have had blood i think 😭😭 old habits returning#BUT THIS SAINTLY OKAY ITS HOLY ITS FINE#also 005. when i said id draw you a saint seb seb i meant it!!!#<- tho mostly you changed your username when i was already drawing saint seb 😭#but i was gonna dedicate it to you anyways :) so funny coincidence#i wasnt gonna put any lore in the read more cause i didnt think i had any#and then i did. as always.#if is say i have nothing to write just give me a min and i will sjdkfk#i dont draw nakedness im surprised this isnt too bad 😭😭#also im happy cause i stopped myself from stressing over it being too overly detailed#loose fabric my behated 😡😡 but then i realized. i dont have to kms over it so i didnt!#still looks pretty good :) but i mostly like his torso face and hair ahhhh#lol also ik saint seb fits older seb better but. i like twink seb okay 🫣 also its an au thing so#MAN I WISH I FINISHED THE COMIC ACCOMPANIMENT#but it just wasnt clicking and i ended up drawing this first instead#but yes humbly please take my seb offering#f1#formula 1#<- again absurd to tag this at this point but idc#sebastian vettel#sv5#catie.art.#martian#<- not inherently in the drawing itself BUT ITS THERE#tw blood#rennaisance muse au

the fun thing about this series is that some characters have really absurd backstories which means i get to give my self insert some bullshit too. he loves phone more than god
#my art#🗃️#the decision to leave the convent was also part of their desire for control over their life that i mentioned before#since they were kind of ushered into it by their family [who were kinda poor + were already catholic so getting one kid to join a nunnery -#-> meant more food on the table for everyone else]#so they were just going through the motions until they were like [mr krabs voice] Wait a minute. i hate catholicism!#their split from the church was mostly amicable in its actual Event since they never became a full-on nun. just a novice!#however i do think it would be funny if they stole like a super old religious artifact from them that was like. straight from the vatican#jury's still out on that but since this franchise has a lot of comedy in it maybe they did#like a sacred blade or some bullshit like that. they use it to scare off merasmus#I SHOULD NOTE this wouldnt be like a serious story thing for them so much as like#funny anecdote that gets brought up once in a while like sollys raccoon sanctuary

NO YOU’RE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE MAJIMA STUFF THOUGH. GOD. God forbid you speak poorly about the fandom silly guy etc etc. I rt’d one post about someone being annoyed abt majima getting an insane amount of merch (especially compared to other characters- even other PLAYABLE characters) and suddenly my TL is filled with ppl taking it as a personal attack….. like?? Settle down???
My one fear is that instead of Mine content we’re just gonna get Majima Saga 2 for yk3 and rgg will call it a day. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT THE GUY !!! GENUINELY!!!
at this rate we’re going to have a complete record of Majima’s life from birth until modern day bc you knowww they’re never gonna let the cash cow die or retire. + god I lowkey need the 3jimas to break up Now so saejima and daigo can stand on their own again (w/out being overshadowed by Majima)…. Saejima especially… I miss the days when he felt like a character………
(I may have a lot to say on the topic) (he’s a fun character but at this rate I’m getting so sick of the fandom around him)
gen is kinda funny how when there's the Monthly Critique Of Majima post on twitter the rggtwt part of the tl is flooded with majima fans being upset. its like clockwork really LOL
as for saejima, i do miss him being solo... like he's funny with majima at times, but as wack as Y4 was i still really liked his coliseum scene, and his prison adventures in Y5 were a real treat too..
#snap chats#like you say one mild comment about majima in passing and then you have mates acting as if you burned their crops#like .. its never this serious .. also i think people have the right to be a littttttle miffed that other charas barely get anything#its starting to change with the plushies and saejima/akiyama figures so thats great but. still a way to go LOL#its just esp Lol inducing because kiryu and ichi are protagonists so it makes sense for them to get stuff#but majima is quite literally a side character that wasnt meant to have this much popularity#the concept of a chara becoming popular by accident isnt bad thats not the thing- its even cool when that happens#its just sometimes you just see people act really entitled to stuff for that character while every other chara is ignored#and then the same people acting surprised when others go 'actually ive had a bit enough of this guy'#honestly if they did another majima segment for a hypothetical yk3 id laugh. like id be a bit annoyed but id mostly laugh#cause truly what else is there. he's like a comic book character we just gotta keep making situations for him til hes 90#idk. just so funny majima's been given a sort of 'weird' protagonist status#and i say weird because he IS a protagonist but just compared to how he actually functions throughout y1-y6. lol. lmao even#like youre right in that majima's a fun character but he really is better in just small doses imo#or. at least i need people to relax on the idea of a 'majima gaiden' or making him any more prominent in the games than he is now#anyway i cant be bitter posting my dad is being funny as hell. he got us bracelets and he was like#'in our family you and i are the only ones who like these. makes us cool' and i was like 'yeah dad we're so cool'#and this old man is just 'we're so cool ☺️' LIKE PL E A S E THE EMOJI TOOK ME OUT. i love my dad. all bitterness is gone from my heart#anyways bye if rgg gives majima a saga in yk3 im gonna livestream playing that and only that#not even yk3 just the majima part 😭😭😭😭

i was like 5 hours away from finishing the beverly hillbillies video and now its gone forever ;-;
#and fuck cbs what the hell#its public domain#i thought that meant it *cant* be copyright claimed???#its also a very old show. what are they even trying to protect.#quinton reviews#tagging for context#what i think fucks me off the most here is like#this video was obviously playing the long game and wasnt a joke.#like there r segments in the video that are only funny if youve been watching QR for YEARS#(some even before the iCarly series!!)#and like. obviously it took a lot of work it was 38 hours long. thats nothing to sneeze at#i wish more ppl understood that video editing is a lengthy process. super lengthy.#and quinton is a better man than i bc he mentions hes not trying to stir outrage or anything#that hes mostly just sad and guilty#id be calling for brian robbins head on a platter tf

by the way. i started playing roblox again for the first time since i was like a teenager. so ummm if anyone ever wants to play roblox with me. come join me in my awsome world
#meant less like my roblox-creation world and more like an 'elmos world' type sentiment. my roblox worlds are from over a decade ago.#n e way i dont know that im comfortable outright Posting my username but ill tell probably anyone who asks :]#i mean its also literally my neopets main username too. so if you have me on there you can probably deduce it yourself#speaking of my awsome roblox world im currently throwing together a bit of a proto towncity-lite map for myself to dick arouns in#this first iteration is mostly just Filling A Map rather than going for ANY kind of accuracy at this stage#oh sorry -- town city is the main location in scavengerverse#oh my god wait i think i actually got a sv ask the other day!! i forgot about that entirely. wait right there im gonna go answer and post it#i do have sketches of town city somewhereee . i plan on eventually making a section of the sv neocities page (under construction) into like#you know the lands in neopets. and how theyre images covered in links and the links go to different 'locations' and have various lore#yeah i wanna do that but for my oc headworld#come visit darians tower come ride the elevator down into his secret lair and see where mastermind operates out of#come to town city hall and learn the events over the past XX years that made superhero/supervillaining into a prospective career choice#come to tje train station and lets go visit vinny's family back home in city town (i dont remember if thats its real name or not)#city town is really funny in theory but in practice i think its probably too similar to town city to be a good choice#town city was once a placeholder name but i think pretty quickly.we were like No i dont think i could think of this city by any other name#fuck it vinnys hometowm can be. yknow littleroot in hoenn. what if he grew up in uh. erm well. bigtrunk town#im like 95% certain that i am joking and that i wont be using bigtrunk town. the 5% is adjusting for the wind#man what the hell am i talkin about. im gonna go look at that ask ok bye i love u

The older I get the more I realize dating standards are entirely arbitrary.
I'll see the baddest bitch in the world walking around with the most C-tier, watered down sprite, boiled chicken, gluten-free saltine cracker-ass, lowercase dude imaginable.
#theyre not notably terrible just unimaginably boring#tbh i mostly just made this post for the insults#that being said its still weird to me sometimes#but i guess it gives me hope in a funny sort of way#yes i meant lowercase not lower class#some people are just lowercase#some people are uppercase#some people are all capital letters#you know what im talking about

RATING: G RELATIONSHIP: Female Pokedex Holder Blue | Green & Silver (Pokemon) SUMMARY: green feels that she has a lot to apologize for. silver, on the other hand, doesn't know how to explain to his sister that he doesn't blame her for anything. EXTENDED SUMMARY:
“I’m proud of you. I don’t know what all happened on your journey,” she starts, looking back at the direction they’re taking, “and I wish you would’ve contacted me before you started working with Lance, but you made it out in one piece and better than I could’ve ever hoped for. I’m just sorry I wasn’t able to be there more for you.”
Silver stares at the back of her head, walking on autopilot.
He wants to tell her that she’s done enough, that he’s sorry for never reaching out until they ran into each other by pure chance. That he’s thankful for her and keeping him together in one piece when they were no more than children and that he wants to get stronger to protect her and keep her from ever having to go through something like losing her family again.
Instead, what he says instead is, “Why did you leave me that night?”
#pokemon adventures#pokemon special#pokespe#trainer green#rival silver#THEY ARE SIBLINGS YOUR HONOR I LOVE THEM SO BADLY OH MY GOD#also yeah. i listened to christmas kids on loop half the time i wrote this. rest of the time it was the playlist#(mostly sisters + i know the end though) anyway i love doing character studies#i wanted to do more on their like. trauma etc etc and like healing from it but got this instead. the edit i made is closer to trauma stuff.#which honestly kinda works. but like. yeah idk idk if u like pokespe.... and green & silver siblings..... you should read the fic.......#it's also the first one-shot i've completed in like two years...... so...........#definitely also meant to post this like two days ago but its fine its fine im queue'ing it now to post at noon#anyway thinking too hard abt this song & how it fits with the masked children. specifically green and silver.#my writing#also im rereading yellow and im just kinda like. giggling a bit. green doesnt like the elite four so silver working with lance is always#kinda funny to me. green voice “yeah i think theyre the ones who kidnapped me” silver working with lance who only uses dragons “x to doubt”#also. giggles excitedly i love writing in second person and the flashbacks are in second person. i will not apologize. its FUN

ngl my take on the whole dni thing is that yeah to a point they're mostly useless. from using broad/undefinable terms ("general dni criteria" what is that "racists dni" most people who are racist do not self identify as racist, "women dni" define a woman for me, quickly. etc) to being useless at actually deterring the kinds of people you dont want interacting with you ("transmisogynists and terfs dni" if a terf wants to bother you about terf shit a dni isnt going to stop them, etc), by and large they're for appearance to signal to others the kind of bigot that you're not.
the one kind of place they do actually kind of work though. spheres that remain encapsulated microcosms of 2015 era tumblr microlabel identity politics. the places where, regardless of if you're a self identified transmed or a proud tucute, you wouldn't be caught dead interacting with someone on the "other side", because the second someone brings up "umm op made a post last year about xyz" you have to RACE to denounce any and all knowledge or interaction lest the people on "your side" put you on a list of "blogs unsafe for xyz" that you'll be arguing against anons about for months. if you're really unlucky, someone will make a callout about op and include you in it as an enabler and a bigot by association.
#personal#mostly i find it kind of funny. my old stim sideblog got put on a list of 'blogs hostile to (transmeds or something idfr)'#as part of a blog meant to document which stim blogs were safe for transmeds to onteract with and which ones to stay away from#this was back in like 2017 i think. maybe 2019 now that i think about it#the sole purpose of the dni on that blog was so i wouldnt get blocked by half of the stim blogs active at the time#because again. you have to signal what kind of person you /arent/ or else you're 'unsafe by default'#this blog also used to have a dni that i made when i was DEEP in that scrupulosity trap. before i realized#a) this is kind of goofy and b) its easier and more effective to just block and move on. done.
