Stuck in the past

Jumping back into One Piece for a while, I wanted to draw something more halloween themed?

So cause college said so (yeah college) I’m gonna start posting art shit on here too, cause I need to ‘get out of my comfort zone’ and ‘express my creativity’. I’m gonna try and not even care about whatever I post just so that way I’m not allowed to chicken out and shit.

Redraw moment 😦

July 2024 (the one above, of course) vs June 2023

Guys I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I cooked with this one. I can't help but feel so proud and happy because the improvement this shows my art has had is crazy 😭😭 I'm sorry if this sounds like bragging, but I'm just very proud of myself

A Fi wip that I'm probably going to call done here. Was really just forcing myself to try different brushes.

I felt more when we played pretend than with all the Kens, ‘cause he took me out of my box, stole my tortured heart, left all these broken parts, told me I'm better off, but I'm not / And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite

We tend to think of "lack of self-esteem" as a character flaw that is sort of...self-victimizing, in the sense that not believing in yourself or your own agency hurts you, and is sort of annoying, but doesn't meaningfully affect other people. I think Yugi and his relationship with Atem is a very interesting counterexample we don't see in fiction all that often. Yugi's fear of being himself fuels his belief that he can simply avoid his own weaknesses and skip self-actualization by letting Atem be the Other, Better, Cooler Yugi. But being forced into this role only exacerbates Atem's suffocation and alienation, and prolongs and enables Atem's refusal to acknowledge his own distinct personhood, something he desperately needs.

Atem is using Yugi's body and identity to fill in what he lacks; Yugi is also rather unambiguously using Atem for the same purpose. Their exchange is mutual, and though it harms them both, Atem's discomfort with this situation is palpable, even through his boundless affection for Yugi himself.

Hi hello, I was struggling with my Spooktober challenge, but wanted to draw something today, so I ended up with this:

He is Very Shape, so I had to lmao (I don't draw animals much, so it was a bit tricky, but hope it came out okay!)

Also, terkkuja toiselta suomalaiselta, meikäläisiin törmää niin harvoin :D

There is literally nothing worse than deciding to try a new food place instead of one of your trusted regulars only for it to taste like utter ass and you missed out an opportunity to eat something you like

My headcanons of the Reluctant Follower unmasked back in the day vs now :3 Valerie (2019) and Vanessa (2021) + Rare human art

Imma be real I was a bit disappointed at the Vanny is Vanessa twist because off how it got spoiled already by SteelWool and stuff but I'm fine with it now!!! But oughhh rip my old Vanny design you will be my oc now!! I think I was just bummed because they kept hinting at it and like the first human character revealed and the enemy being a furry is like huh istg if she ends up being the security guard... I think I wouldn't have mind if Ness had more screentime tbh!!

So back then I hoped Vanny was separate from Vanessa and they both had similar names so Glitchtrap wanted to frame Nessie for the murders due to it. Same with Glam Freddy and Greggy think it was Vanessa who was the bad guy at first like gasps Vanessa + Bunny = Vanny!! Also they're both fake blondes and dye their hair often!! (There's more to it but I'd end up rambling)

First time drawing textured hair digitally I hope to improve more on it in the future because oughh Vanny deserves it!!!

Fanfiction?! From Leah?! Somehow real

Congrats, @the-golden-comet, for being the first person to ever get me to write fanfic! I'm so sorry this took so long, I spent so much time worrying about their characterisation and if I'd manage to do them justice. Seriously I hope this is decent, I really do. Noah and Ali are such sweet characters, and I adore them so much. Anyways, the thingy itself is under the cut. I hope you like it!!!

Noah sat in the crook of the sofa, eyes narrowed at the notes. “This is ridiculous,” he mumbled to himself, gaze sliding off each line of text he'd tried to read.

Who had designed this with such little spacing? Each word was overflowing into the rows above and below it, creating a wave of squiggles that resembled an intricate weaving more than any legible writing.

Nonetheless, he pushed on. A test was coming up, after all. And not any test. The Test, a test deserving of its own capitalisation. The one that made up a good quarter of his GPA that semester. 

Taking another swig of energy drink, Noah squinted at a diagram. Somehow, none of it was permeating his head. That made no sense! He'd only been at it for… What, eight? Twelve? Fourteen hours, max?

“Stupid brain,” he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. He couldn't afford to sleep. The Test was only two days away! 

“Noah, sadiq,” a concerned voice rumbled behind him. In his exhaustion, Noah had somehow managed to miss his roommate sneaking up behind him.

“Don't bother me right now, Ali, I need to stu-” Noah cut himself off with a massive yawn, rubbing his eyes. 

“You need to sleep,” Ali said. “This test of yours is not nearly as important as getting enough sleep. Go to bed, Noah. It'll still be here in the morning.”

Noah shook his head. “Can't. Gotta study. Every second I waste sleeping is a mark I might lose in the exam. And what if I lose my scholarship because I did badly in that exam? Then I won't have enough money to finish my degree. And then I'll never get a good job.” He stifled another yawn and went back to stuffing his nose between the pages, trying and failing to memorise sentences he could barely parse.

“Noah.” Ali's voice had some steel beneath it. “You are going to fall ill if you stay up like that. When's the last time you ate, sadiq? The last time you drank anything other than those terrible energy drinks?” They hadn't had energy drinks back in the 5th century, and Ali had never quite wrapped his head around them.

“It's fine,” Noah mumbled. “I'll be just fine.” He glanced at Ali's stern face and sighed. “You're not going to give up on this, are you?”

“Of course I won't. This is important, Noah.”

“Alright, alright, I'll go! A quick nap won't hurt that much, I suppose,” he said, not wanting to admit just how much the thought of a good night's rest appealed.

Ali grinned. “Inshallah! So the man does listen,” he exclaimed, and swept his roommate off his seat. Carrying him like a child into his bedroom, Ali placed Noah down onto the bed. 

Instantly, Noah curled up against his pillow, pulling the blankets over himself. Ali could not help but smile at this sight, and carefully helped tuck him into a warm little bundle. 

“Goodnight, Noah,” he murmured softly.

Noah was too busy sleeping to respond.
