played dragon age 2...just simple scribbles
#dragon age tag#i doubt that will see much use again..but who knows. vvv rambling below#weird game..the characters dialogue stuff and ending were good tho :')#i've played some of the first game but it kept crashing. i knew already despite knowing nothing that this guy was going to be my type#it doesnt feel right making video game art any more bc games like this end up feeling really personal - an experience that happened to me#if i design the main character a bit and fall in love then..that happened to me..i can't make Fan Art of that..only ive been through that..#like i cant make fanart of my dear companions in bg3 despite it having been a huge part of my heart in the last year#almost 1000 hours of playtime in something i can barely talk about bc it means too much.... lol#tons of ideas and conversations and extra thoughts and scenes and emotions about all the incredible times i've been through in bg3#and the maelstrom just rotates around intensely in my own heart forever...but that's ok too...that is so precious to me#but fortunately i already knew people that have played this game and talked/drew abt it recently so it was saved from that for me#sharing scribbly fanart on my Blog is a way to capture the feeling just after experiencing something so it has good points#witch hat atelier escapes that by not being a GAME. games are so immersive. but my wha art & feelings are incredibly immersive too#which makes it difficult sometimes now. i live a complicated and emotional life <3 i am not suited to fandom <3#my character ended up looking so much like oru without me realising that's what i was doing. Kind bearded fireball throwing gay mage. Hmm.#falling for a sad white hair memory trauma fellow that keeps you at a tragic distance. Hmmmmmm.#i see also how very much bg3 is inspired by stuff like dragon age now lol so i'm glad i experienced it. I WANT MY KIRKWALL LIFE BACK...#so dated though as well and unpleasant at times (the city and the dismal atmosphere was depressing.) i hate violence/horror..#bg3 is SOOOO very dismal but it feels like I am killing people and going through horrors because i have to survive i have to be free#Well anyway. ahh it's so refreshing to fall in love. my gay journey continues...

had a really incredible moment this evening. went to my campus art market where one of my friends was selling the tank top i'm wearing - another friend bought it for me and i'm so overjoyed to have it. usually a fit that leans more Traditionally Masculine feels like a costume but tonight it just felt deeply correct and honest and warm. took the opportunity to take some indulgent little pictures because i do not think i have Ever looked more like myself. so happy.
#im like. slowly gently exploring butchness & ... what it means to me & ... trying to release the idea that it requires Masculinity....#ive always felt pretty disconnected from masculinity as a whole but i'm starting to find points of entry that resonate really deeply#& along with that is like... esp when it comes 2 kink & leather & butchness - which r not intrinsically related but to me they r connected#theres this idea that like. i'm taking myself too seriously. and that nobody's gonna take me seriously. and that i'm too little too young#that im like#obviously inexperienced and a joke and failing and looking stupid .#but ... realized recently that . that's really just the trauma talking#and that i can just like. try shit out. and notice how it feels + what comes up#and then try it again if i so wish#and nothing i try has to be permanent or defining ... and that like . my desires and comforts and joys and needs Should Be Taken Seriously#soooo much of my like. impostor syndrome . has to do with worrying that im not doing it right when compared to other men#but like.... most of the kinky men / leathermen i see are 35+ and cis .#of course im not doing it like them .#so . looking to the queers i know. especially my fellow transmascs as well as lesbians . for like. reassurance and inspiration#has been very healing . & good for my heart & my soul.#:)#yeah .#i think i gotta go read butch is a noun. ... yeah#goodnight :)#speak#materialization#ok2rb

Last Line Tag Game
Thanks for tagging me @teejaystumbles ! A really nice surprise!! :D I am indeed contemplating writing two Dead Boy Detectives fic right now, but they're both in the very early 'being-outlined-in-my-head' stage, haha. They both revolve around post-s1 Edwin pining for Charles, one where Edwin takes matters into his own hands and one where he decides to have a chat with the Cat King about it. Not sure if they'll ever be written but they're intriguing!
But for the sake of the tag game, here's a lengthy bit from a Dreamling wip I've slowly been chipping away at for a few months!
A scene from Every Little Thing (Working Title)— In which Morpheus is a figure drawing professor who has just been fired from a film production based on his comics, and Hob does part-time figure modeling and is determined befriend the aforementioned professor.
Morpheus picks his class schedules wisely— he runs two first year general figure drawing classes, at 8 a.m. and at noon on Mondays and Thursdays. He helps the uni’s live figure workshop club on Wednesdays and Fridays at 6 p.m., and meets his sister for lunch on Wednesdays. All other free time was dedicated for his industry work. That wouldn’t be a concern anymore, would it. By the time Morpheus unlocks the door to the studio, sets his bag down by his desk, and starts fiddling with the ceiling studio lights pointed at the model stand, all of Morpheus’ thoughts have reduced to pure spite. Fine, maybe the big studios don’t want him. They don’t deserve him, then, their loss. His portfolio and repertoire are infamous in the industry, they’ll be crawling back to him in no time. Too bad, maybe he would have started his own production studio and he’ll end up with the next ground-breaking animated film. Maybe— Morpheus’ thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door. He shakes himself out of it, calling, “Come in.” A glance at his watch tells him it’s only 7:48, perhaps it’s an overeager student here early. It’s only the second week of the semester, they grab every opportunity to prove themselves with a spirited step that Morpheus might be slightly envious of. “Hello, Morpheus Endeles?” Hearing his full name startles Morpheus, and he turns from the lighting settings to the door. “Yes?” The man who steps into view can only be described as radiant. He can’t be much older than Morpheus, not much taller either but wider in the shoulders. His hair is cropped just above his shoulders and he sports a neatly kept beard. Morpheus registers this all first simply because of his profession but— he gets caught on the man’s brilliant smile and deep brown eyes. There’s something there that knocks all thoughts clear out of Morpheus’ head. The stranger smiles warmly, smiles like he already cares. “I’m here to model for the morning and noon figure classes?” The man says. Morpheus clears his throat and steps forward, “Yes, this is the right studio.” He extends a hand, “Robert Gadling, I presume?” The man takes his hand— god, he’s so warm— and shakes it steadily, “Please, call me Hob! All my friends do.”
I'm a sucker for the 'Morpheus catalogues Hob's appearance during their first meeting' trope in most Dreamling human AU fics, I couldn't not do it too :]
Besides this, I've also got a Dreamling Velvet Goldmine-ish AU fic that I want to get done this summer. I'm a very slow and ruminative writer so let's see if I can commit to any of these fics now that I've posted about them lol!
No pressure tags! I have no idea who's been tagged recently so-- lol. @hardly-an-escape @valeriianz @moorishflower @amielot :)
#ive seen so many Artist Dream AUs but theyre always pretty vague with the specifics of his work so i was like#i need to write the specific ins-and-outs of what my ideal Artist Dream AU would be. and its this#that he's a really difficult collaborator with extreme creativity who starts out in animation#and branches out from there into art directing various things doing his own comics on the side (the corinthian is one of his comics)#(he DEFINITELY forays into themed environmental design)#which is half inspired by my actual professors' professional lives and a guest speaker that spoke to us recently#i want morpheus to be really good at teaching younger artists#and i want him to doubt weather his passion for storytelling is worth it#and i want hob to befriend him and ground him by reminding murphy about what he loves about making art#and of course i love figure drawing classes so much! theyre the essence of narrative art#and ofc hob and dream are gonna fuck at some point. i already have a mildly kinky sequel scene planned involving hob knowing how paint#anyway god this is so long#i just love the ideas in this fic theyre so personal to me. i really hope i finish this fic and get to share it with everyone :')#LONG POST AUGH ANYWAY BYE THANK YOU FOR TAGGING ME TASH!!!!!!#i dont really get to talk about my fic anymore so this was really nice thank you :') !#rex writes#rex speaks#tag game#last line tag game#long post#fic

does anyone else ever revisit their old work, and ideas, and worldbuilding, and get the panicked feeling that they passed their prime and will never write this well again? asking for a friend haha
#not me spiralling after finding an old notebook detailing a wip i worked on at the time#in such detail and just.... so well done#and i have to wonder.... where did that go?#that spark of... maybe not brilliance but just intense inspiration#its been maybe 2 or 3 years since ive had an idea i was so taken with that it was all i could think about#and i blamed it on being busy but i haven't been busy in months and i just feel..... like i lost something#i want to write so badly and sometimes i even do but nothing feels right and properly exciting#and like.... maybe i peaked. maybe what i did a few years ago was the best i could ever do#i know its irrational to think this way#and not very constructive and helpful#but ive had a bit of a bad time lately and just needed to shout into the void for a moment#at least that i can do#mina mumbles

picked up a copy of and read the king in yellow (signalis reasons) and going in was like hmmmmm this probably wont end up being something i take inspiration from for the fic it’d be too on the nose to take inspiration from the king in yellow and i dont want much horror inspiration haha. and then like half of the book is romance anyways im so fucked either way yayyyy
#good book not the best idea to advertise it solely based on the king in yellow parts bc its only present for less than half the book#anyways i miiight do sole stuff with ideas of madness and forbidden knowledge and whatever#obsession is easy i can probably fold that in with the biology stuff. the more plot focused stuff is still fuzzy#salty talks#anyways my favorites were the first and fourth stories tho the one with the cat is also good#trying to figure out how it related to signalis beyond. being literally present. rn im just getting theme inspiration#ive read it once and just watched a letsplay lf the game i think a yter was gonna do vids on the book and then signalis#also. not used to actually seeking out and reading a book that something alludes to and uses the way signalis does the king in yellow#so im just sitting here like. ok what do i do with this now. i have a new book. with surprisingly fun romance for a late 1800s book#i was not in it for the romance and even now im more a fan of the former half of the book but honestly? the romance was kinda cute#the interactions between the characters in the romances were cute it surprised me that i kinda found them fun#this is me talking abt rhe bellum x linebeck fic btw. but also did get the book bc of doomed yuri symbolism and themes

I've got too many games I want to play and not enough free time 😭 I still need to finish my BG3 playthrough but since Endless Ocean: Luminous came out I've been playing a lot of that instead. Also just got back into Wizard101 last night. Started playing House Flipper again last weekend. Still need to finish BOTW so I can start a TOTK playthrough and finish Pokemon Shield so I can start on Pokemon Violet. I've been fighting off the urge to start up a new Skyrim playthrough for weeks. My brother just told me that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is getting ported to the Switch. And now I'm suddenly feeling inspired to replay DAI... And throughout all of this I'm also playing the hell out of DragonVale on my phone. Someone just pay me to play video games all day please
#and before anyone suggests it: no i cant try to get into streaming#the way i play video games is extremely frustrating for other people to watch ahdjsksl#no one is going to give me money for producing a video where i spend two hours checking every barrel in the map while juggling my inventory#and then immediately give up on a puzzle and just sit in silence for 30 minutes while i look up a walkthrough instead#i need a situation that pays me $200 a day just to be autistic at the screen alone in the comfort of my own home#rambling#a few years ago i made it a mission to play all of the dragon age games and dlcs in order and i did not complete it#i got all the way to inquisition before i quit#i had already played it on ps3 but i wanted to replay on my new gaming laptop and unfortunately my computer decided it was too complicated#and also i just wanted to play as an elf again and i was resisting that urge bc i played as an elf the first time and wanted something new#so i didnt connect to my character as much#BUT ive learned a lot about optimizing my games from getting bg3 to run on my computer#so i think i could get it to handle dai now. especially if i upgrade to ssd like ive been wanting#and i just saw a dai post on my dash that made me daydream about possible characters and i was struck with inspiration#when i first played through on ps3 i didnt know anything about da lore. it was my first dragon age game#i was just doing whatever i thought seemed coolest#so i basically modeled my inquisitor after my dnd oc and then just picked a vallaslin i thought was pretty#and then when it came time to pick a specialization i was just like 'i mean my hand has rift magic right? seems obvious enough'#but now i know the LORE. and the dalish really interest me. and i want to make an inquisitor thats their own character#i didnt want to replay another elf mage bc i thought it would be too similar#but at the same time i wanted to re-experience dai (and experience trespasser for the first time) now that i knew more about the dalish#(with mods that fix the annoying bits where your character seems to not know about their own religion of course lol...)#i was thinking about that and i just got hit with some inspiration#instead of 'my dnd character but with a cool tattoo and rift magic and they kinda roll with the inquisitor stuff bc idk whats going on'#what if i made a more intentional character with a much different personality and their own backstory#theyre still the first of their clan but i know what that means now so theyre not really into the herald of andraste stuff#theyre a devotee of falon'din with his vallaslin and fittingly choose necromancy specialization (tho theyre annoyed by all the maker talk)#they can look cool and goth and maybe they even make some different choices about the well of sorrows 👀#i could keep rambling but im running out of tags gah#anyways ive got lots of ideas now and i think the playthrough would be unique enough to be worth it

your art is so brilliant. something about your command of shapes and color just.. absolutely hits wonderfully. your post about drawing in ms paint with limit tools was right on the money and inspiring to me as an artist as well. i just wanted to let you know that your art is special and meaningful and i hope you never stop making it
#i dont respond to them a lot because im very silly but i get messages like this whenever i post new art and it really does make me joyous#Im glad people enjoy the art i make for myself and im baffled / flattered so often when im labeled as an inspiration#I have had no idea what ive been doing for the past 10+ years of my life but i know ms paint has been there thru it all#thank you everybubbly

i love choi yeonjun so much
#recently ive been thinking about him more than usual. hes like my biggest role model and my biggest inspiration#hes just. hes everything#DO YOU GET ME#i love his confidence that never wavers. even when he was still working on his dream he truly believed he could achieve it#he loves himself and knows his worth and i wish i could reach that level of confidence one day#and even if he's so confident. he's also an extremely grateful and humble person !!#he never takes things for granted and he's really down to earth too#he just has the perfect balance of confidence and humility that i wish i could find too#and !!! i love his mindset so much. he values growth and constant improvement#and he (and well all of txt) helped me value hard work because dude the passion that they have for what they do is so inspiring#and his motto being 'be the only one not the best one'. that just shows everything#he's just so incredibly inspiring i don't know how he's real#all the trainees and idols looking up to him are so real for that because how could anyone know of him and not just be awestruck#his mom nicknamed him 'healing' and that's so true. he really is healing#i have no idea how hes real. i don't even plan on becoming an idol ever but hes just my role model too#he just has the purest heart and such a good mindset and through him i learned i want to be like that too#HE IS MY ROLE MODEL. DO YOU GET IT. I LOVE HIM SO MUCHM DO YOU GET IT.#ok i just had to vent that out i love choi yeonjun so much <3

Chapters 16-18 :o @akozuheiwa
Some of my favorite chapters right here. You already know I was sobbing rereading them. I hope i did them justice :)
#tales of arcadia#3below#krel tarron#toby domzalski#steve palchuk#ive been listening to 600 strike on loop for the past 3 days (I am normal)#so my idea going into chapter 18 was just krel beating the snot out of the red knight#and then i remembered this one image i saw of two knights fighting with chairs so i used that as inspiration#though looking at it now it looks terrible :(#but it's like the idea of “look what you turned me into” n stuff like that i imagine in this image that's what's going through his head#i maintain the belief that Krel Deserves to go feral more often#all 3 of them do

there are heartships / those guys again / this one doesn't have a caption. let's call it CROPPING / i don't want to be the sun i don't want to be the ocean i don't want to be the world
i thought it was redundant But that was the phrase that came to me
#the third one was just lines that happened and i didnt know what to do after that. i felt compelled to color them all after i colored#the first and now its 3 am. As usual.#flowers arts#steve#I like the idea of heart headed stickfigures but i accidentally drew a mouse instead.......#i call them heartsticks -> hardships -> there are hardships#its been a while since ive drawn in clipstudio paint. So. To my surprise my PEN THAT I DRAW WITH WAS AT 98% opacity this whole time#A little irritating. i have to fix it RIGHT NOW ro else ill forget and draw with that. AGAIN. (happened previously)#i suppose i havent drawn very attentively for myself recently. well you can blame Puerto rican meatball pork and rice.#OPINION: i do not like the smell of meatballs but they taste good. It takes a very long time for me to eat it because it smells bad.#I suppose hollandaise is a necessary evil because MEATBALLS STINK. I will consider that next time i have Random Cousin from a birthday par#ANYWAY FORGET THAT Originalyl iwas flipping through linearts like Damn am i artblocked but then i clored them so tis ok#i have been inspired by [video game] recently. i like how it looks. i want to draw grosser now. (Not in content but lineart. Its different.#you can tell in the bottom right that freak has a weird mouth. That was my intention! this is treading new ground. Or old ground#and making it new again. Whatever you prefer#OK Goodnight#if i need to make an addendum to the first picture i will But im a believer that we understand things in this trust fall scenario

Little Blue Dreams
Acrylic on panel 6x6"
Reference from thekangaroosanctuary on insta from their video on Pippa the Joey's first steps. Sketched the kangaroo while watching the video, then sketched out the baby dragon based on that.
Young Blue pernese dragon in an abstract purple-red space.
#dragonriders of pern#pernese dragon#dragons#blue dragon#baby dragon#painting#fanart#paintings#dksartz#kangaroo!inspired dragon#finished piece#i sketched this ages ago and just sat down this evening and transfered the sketch to the panel and the painting happened#i actually love that i didnt make a background i kept it abstract deliberately and focused on the dreamlike thing with visible brushstrokes#very happy with this little piece#pernese dragons in dragonsdawn iirc are described as having a hop-skip gait and what better analog than kangaroos??#also ive been trying this more mammal-like muzzle/nose situation vs the common reptilian nostrils setup and this is the sketch tbat actuall#started that idea flr me as well as helped me visualize/draw/understand their heads/forms in 3D instead of steuggling#harder with paint for sure but i think it worked ok#might try again but do like an initial color down where the form of the dragon will be and then transger the lines on top of that to paint#in details and shading#hmmm maybe

I think making sweeping generalizations of specific traits being considered "ugly" is not great the same way i think its rude and unnecessary to call others ugly, i also think its worthwhile to acknowledge that certain traits ARE considered "Ugly" due to societal beauty standards, that doesn't make them ACTUALLY ugly, bc beauty is subjective anyway, and can be found Anywhere, and even someone who seems to tick every single box of societal beauty Ideals will almost certainly have at least one trait or feature about their appearance that they are insecure about or feel is "ugly", bc even within the constraints of conventional attractiveness theres subjectivity
also this fish was so fucking Ugly and i adored it so much. i miss him.
he was also gorgeous.
#toy txt post#toy pic post#he passed in like. man. i want to say 2019? his name was Gus. he was a pink kissing gourami#the thing about albino fish is that they always look a little bit sickly and concerning. his head always seemed a little big for his body#like he was really old. when i got him he looked so bad cos he had wounds all over him from dads fish that got infected and the dude#straight up looked like a zombie. every day id wake up and prepare myself to find him dead. but he recovered and never went back in w the#fish that injured him. his face was hideous. he looked pale and sickly. his head was a little too big like he was super old#his scales were iridescent and pretty and shimmery. he had no concept of giving a shit about me finding him beautiful or not. not even on#his mind. simply not something he would think about. now. im sure he'd have some sort of beauty standard to hold himself to for mating if#that had been an option for him. but it wouldnt be the same. idk. i just. i love the idea. of animals that are not traditionally cute or#beautiful or charismatic and the fact that they do not give a single fucking shit what we think of the way they look. BOTH ways. a#a butterfly does not give a single thought tohow beautiful or inspiring you find the colors of its wings. the wolf fish does not care that#humans find it hideous and terrifying. it just looks the way that it does. its fine. its vibing. it just wants to live and survive and get#enough food. yes beauty is everywhere but so is ugly. and there is beauty in ugly. to me. there is beauty in not even thinking about#standards to be conformed to or not. the beauty is irrelevant. its not For You. it doesnt Matter. its just Existing. if you like how it#looks while it exists? great! good for you. if you dont? okay cry about it i guess. this ugly ass fish doesnt give a shit if humans find it#beautiful or not. he was just going to continue to use his lips covered in teeth to scrape biofilm and algae off the surface of rocks and#driftwood and play in the current of the filter.#let girls be ugly the way marine iguanas dont give a shit if humans find them pretty cos theyre just sunning themselves and eating seaweed#off rocks. all humans are beautiful. all humans are ugly. it doesnt matter. let us go dive into the ocean and scrape seaweed off the rocks#and then bask in the sun on a warm rock and not fucking worry about that#anyway also Yes ive seen uglier fish than him.i know they exist. but he was also special cos he was My Fish u see

you've heard of cat in the hat, now get ready for
#i've been wanting to give him a stupid name for so long. becasue hes a stupid little guy and its what he deserves (affectionately)#i wasted the name change thing on this lmao i bet i'll come up with somethng better later and regret#i originally gave him a way-too-deep-over-thought-out name and i just didn't like it. he needed a dumb name i could laugh at. its necessary#genshin#genshin impact#scaramouche#wanderer#genshin scaramouche#genshin wanderer#genshins#honestly “Hat Guy” inspired me to do this lmao he truly does deserve a dumb name 🤣#i wish we could gain one extra name changer just in case my brain has a better idea even though ive thought about this since...#before he was released? because i saw leaks that said we name him. and even then i couldn't think of anything good#the original name i gave him after the quest was a couple names i saw others suggest that i squished together#but in the end it didnt suit him imo. i was right that a dumb name suits him lmaao but im sure theres better ones out there#if YOU see this post and read all my rambling tags and if you also named your wanderer a silly dumb name you must reply and tell me!!!!!!#i either need genshin friends to share my genshin nonsense with or i need to post more random genshin posts here and pretend i have friends#*#lee screenshots
