Do yourself a favor and go read the entire fanfic work of @fanfoolishness

(In order: Under sun and shade, Blind Side, and Breathless (patching up is one of my fav too, I just had no cool sketch idea for it)

#star wars #star wars the bad batch #the bad batch fanart #tbb fanart #tbb fanfiction #dumping my “fanfic_doodles.clip” file here literally #sorry the style is messy #now I see them all Im like “ok it's all over the place zero/100 aesthetically pleasuring post”#hhhh its the thought that counts?#And tbh the point is just to convince you to read theses #because I'm like OBSSEEESSED with theses since you appeared in my notes #Every fic is gold #Me baiting my followers with pretty enough pictures to read fanfics #this being said I should really take the time to color properly my stuff #but I don't liiiiiiiiike it #there is tons of more talented artists if people want colored beautiful amazing art #me I can't really make my “”“spontaneous”“” “”“doodles”“” pretty without trying hard and at the end it's meh #They're so flat too #yesterday I was like “oh my scenes are becoming less flat I improved maybe”#Then I scrolled on my storyboard insta and was like #yeah sure no #I'm still faaaaaar away from the industry standards #I studied like at three arts school and I'm still bad at drawing TAT #why is my brain not working v_v #look brain I'm showing you nice pictures learn from them #brain: no Im gonna overfixate on this left hand here and only this #anyway

A-Qing, the little fox.

#better drawn mdzs #mdzs #a-qing #I needed to draw her happy one last time #i also really wanted to try my hand at drawing Hanfu. Clothing is still hard for me but I learned a lot!#the process was 1) get idea from the fox hairpin extra 2) thumbnail 3) look up references 4) accept that this is nearly an impossible task #5) do it anyways. For A-Qing #It has also been a while since the last better drawn mdzs. I've been getting better! B*)#I chickened out of having this be a ‘draw this in your style’ prompt….Perhaps in the future!#I want to improve a little more first I think. Psychically beaming my beloved mutuals to re-kick off DTIYS in my stead #I adore how A-Qing is associated with foxes! She is cleaver and quick to adapt! A trickster in many regards!#There is absolutely more to analyze here but I'm not well versed about Chinese mythology

yakuya in MY swamp? in MY ecosystem? no . i am still in disbelief. i hope you all know that my particles are bouncing off the everything. i am using periods as punctuation but the state of my mind is naught neareth final.

#the devs really did surprise me.....i'll credit them with that #i fully believed it was gonna be rei #i looked at that silhouette. saw the chunky heels. thought of kuya #but i scoffed at myself. tch. of course not. devs wont play with their strange topbottom segregation. i'll never get the yakuya event #at least not until it's with garu so they have a yokai hella exposition event #it's gonna be rei at a specific angle to SIMULATE a kuya. he will be wearing kuya-esque heels just to spite all the kuyafans #AND YET HERE WE ARE #UNDER THE SEA NO LESS #WHAT ARE THEY DOING INVADING MY SPACE LIKE THIS #like hell i'm gonna share my zone (abyssopelagic) with those accursed sirens #i'm going lower #i'm moving to the trenches. i'm gonna slowly lose the use of my eyeball sight . i'm gonna adapt to conditions #SO MANY conditions. maybe even learn to bioluminesce #actually no. then the predators might find me. and i'll have to regain the use of my eyes in order to improve my chances of escape #perchance even enlargen them like the giant squid. living in constant fear of a fox or a snake appearing in the depths #yet i get the creeping suspicion that kuya is just going to bully yakumo (when he's not bullying eiden)#kuya gonna drop a sad story about personal sacrifice and the difficult lives he's lived #and yakumo ever the baby in comparison will stare at him with his massive saucer eyes like.... do i... deserve to feel sadness?#if i have not gone through the trials and tragedies that master kuya has???#is kuya gonna be soft yokai grandpa or is he gonna be Auntie of Hard Reality #the boy just wants to find new soup ingredients #kuya will then unveil the ethical ramifications of harvesting these specific ingredients #and using them for a purpose other than their original spiritual intent by the indigenous merfolk #along with the questionable supply chain and processes that go into creating the ingredients in the first place #(not that any ethics or spirituality rituals or stuff like that is actually enough to influence kuya's behaviour in any way)#but it'll certainly mess with yakumo!!!! and that's where all the fun is?#furrows brow. what will they do with this event.....#i am so very excited to see them interact..!#mirage of scales #yakuya

So I’ve been trying this thing this year

Where I look at the things I’ve decided in the past were too difficult for me or that I couldn’t do so I shouldn’t try

And saying “fuck it let’s noodle around for a couple hours and see what happens”

Because the time will pass anyway and I might as well

And listen

I already knew I was far too powerful and my incredible gifts had to be nerfed by the gods in the form of about six separate physical and mental disabilities lest I threaten the fabric of reality

But it turns out that actually I am a golden god and the limits of my abilities are defined solely by a combination of my own self doubt and the amount of time and energy I’m willing to put in to practice something

I can be as good at anything as I decide I want to be, because I decide when I don’t want to put more work in to improve

And listen

This might sound hard

This might sound silly and completely inapplicable to yourself because clearly you are not as magnificent and talented as I

But that is the demon of self doubt that sits upon your shoulder to constrain your might

And how do you know you’re not also a golden god capable of anything unless you give it a try?

#self aggrandizing #it’s a lot more fun than self deprecating actually #also yeah i am Learning To Art now #and i can draw HANDS #better than faces frankly and fuck knows how that happened #anyway try all the things you think are too hard #and as soon as you stop thinking you must be perfect from the first touch #and just keep learning and focusing on where you want to improve #you too will learn that you are a golden god capable of anything #the confidence of a mediocre white man but then Actually Do Somethjng #motivation #ya damn skippy this is about dungeon meshi #none of y’all practiced and professional artists gonna make me a canary sweater i will DAMN WELL make one myself #not gonna let me throw money at my problems well i guess i will throw time and energy and learning a new skill fuck yoy

On one hand I'm so so excited for more people to meet mithrun in the anime and go nuts over him.

On the other I am so worried about folks not being cool about their bad ass fucked up fave needing caregivers.

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #people are gonna cure his disability i jsut know it and it hurts #my man's arc is not about a cure #its about learning to want to live again with what he has #he will improve but he will always need help #and thats beautiful #i love my little vegetable scraps man #i hold him so close to my heart forever and always #anyway #i need someone to write a fic about kabru falling for mithrun and taking on all of the care duties #only to get burnt out and realize he needs help #and everyone rallying around them both to pitch in while kabru tangles with the feelings of it all #cause its really fucking hard and often unrealistic to do all the work of a caregiver for your SO #especially if youve got a job like royal advisor #ESPECIALLY if its royal advisor for Laios

About Noé's latest neurodivergent adventures (chapter 61.5 and 62)

(things I found relatable)

1. PUTTING UR HAND UP BC U CANT FIGURE OUT WHEN TO SPEAK. EVERYONE THINKS UR WEIRD FOR IT BUT ITS POLITE AND LIFE IS FUCKING HARD

2. Struggling to follow conversation, and seeing clearer ways of communication that no one else can and getting frustrated that the neurotypicals are so obviously communicating poorly

3. Vanitas designated translator

4. Being quite blind to politics (when it comes to discrimination against himself as a vampire [and his PRIVILEGES as a vampire] and in this case against others like dhams) bc he works individual by individual instead of by social categories

5. Last of all it hurts to see the other characters calling him ignorant and an idiot all the time bc Ive been there. He's booksmart, he's intelligent, just not socially, but here is everyone writing him off as dumb just bc he's different.

Its not like he's ignorant on purpose. Of course it's important to know this shit he's learning now, and it can be done, but it's a lot harder when ur autistic and, as Vanitas said, when u grow up so isolated. Learning is a neverending process and Noé is very clearly learning and just bc he works differently like putting his hand up to speak or interpreting the world differently doesn't mean he's stupid

#istg im not getting mad at fictional characters it just hits hard for me lmao #i actually grew up in a small very conservative town where it was unsafe to be queer #and i had so much learning to do when i moved to the capital and im so much happier now #but it was especially hard to figure this shit out when ur gullible and confused #i always had a nagging feeling that my peers denying others human rights was wrong but whenever i tried to object i would be mocked #like the inkling was there there were just no alternatives around me to the bigotry #until i found a place where my sense of justice could flourish #socialising is still hard but the politics side has improved so much and will continue improving #srry for ranting just wanted to share my personal experiences where relevant #autism #adhd #noé archiviste #the case study of vanitas #vanitas no carte #vnc #autistic noé #autistic noé archiviste

Inspired by a conversation I had with @lesbian-duck-lord a while back.

I put him in a suit!!!

Headcanon where Mr. E sometimes dresses up to go to important events for Destroido - related business. And he sometimes takes Cassidy as his date. So here he is, chilling at some gala or smth. Dressed to the nines, hair actually styled for once and with Nordic-inspired hair ornaments. And pierced ears. Because I wanted to.

I really used my full power on this one. Tried a lot of new things and learned a lot, and I’m so proud of the results! 😁

#scooby doo mystery incorporated #sdmi #ricky owens #mr. e #fanart #digital fanart #scooby doo fanart #look! at! him!#I put him in a SUIT!#srsly I put my full power into this art #I tried and learned so many new things #I painted metal and actually made it look like metal #attempted to make his skin not look flat #added texture to flat colors #And his HAIR #His hair was so hard but so worth it 😭#I’ve never played with light this much in any art ever #And it was so worth it #I want to improve my hair line art next to make it even more detailed #Even more beautiful #But I’m so proud of the big step forward I took with this #His hair and hair ornaments are absolutely my favorite part #he looks good and he knows it #smug bastard #this art is self indulgent af obvi #I’ve been so anxious to post it tho #Finished it a couple weeks ago tbh #Oh yeah and I just remembered I actually made an effort to draw detailed ears for once #proud of that too #still fairly new to digital art so be kind

#hypmic #hypnosis mic #samatoki aohitsugi #happy birthday yokohama bad boy or whatever. love u #i missed drawing him a lot actually. it's been a while #this is one of those drawings that i feel like i'm giving myself too much credit for but i rly am shocked how alright this turned out #that being said i continue to be frustrated by how shit i am at everything past solid coloring. shading is sooooo hardddddd #hence why i decided to post an un-rendered version here. the one with shading etc is on twt but i immediately regretted posting it lol #i just like this one better idk. the lineart is my fav part and it looks nicer here #but well... comparing this to my samatoki bday art from a year ago i'm relieved to see actual major improvement #i still want to draw more often and keep learning though. it's just been hard to find the time and mental capacity lately #7-7-cherry drawingz

Man, life online got so much better for me when I decided that I don't actually need to give even a fractional fuck about people's spelling and grammar. Should have come to that conclusion sooner. It literally doesn't matter as long as it is understandable to someone of the intended audience's dialect/language. And even when it isn't? Not a moral or intellectual issue. Just leave it alone.

#my mom had BAD dyslexia #and was a lefty #and was abused for both of those in school in the 50s #leaving her defiantly left-handed but bitterly self-conscious of her spelling her whole life #she pushed me hard to learn quote proper unquote spelling and grammar and because it was very very easy for me i eagerly did #but now as an adult-adult i just feel bad that she was ever embarrassed #nobody should feel that way ever #work to improve if you want to but just know nobody should be looking down on you for this #love to all my dyslexic and dyscalcu dyscalculi discalcli discalculeic THEM WHAT'S GOT DYSCALCULIA yall are great

Been thinking about langblr and New Years resolutions and yno... Usually I have more solid language study/learning goals. But I'm trying really hard to relax and not take my hobbies so seriously (because then I stress myself out). Next year I think all my goals will be based around enjoying media and doing things on a whim. It will definitely be less structured, and there may be less progress. But its going to be a year of learning what I want and what I feel and going off of that.

#I have/had alexithymia and so its very hard for me to tell what I want and what I feel #And constantly I push myself too hard or I do things I don't really enjoy because I had planned to or feel like I should #I think 2024 is going to be about finding myself and consciously learning to live in my body #No more language goals simply for improving skills #If I don't enjoy it I'm not doing it #langblr #Rambling
