feel free to add more, I just think it's funny that there's at least 3 musicals that have a 'high school is extremely bad' song and in 2 of them multiple teenagers die and in all 3 multiple teenagers get grievously injured. like they weren't kidding that high school really do hell.
#i didn't include any from mean girls bc none of them really have a big 'high school sucks' section#'where do you belong' is close but they mostly just describe things rather than pointing out how bad they are#or ascribing that badness to high school as a concept'#personally i think if you set a musical in high school#you are legally obligated to have a song where you acknowledge that the concept of high school is bonkers#original post#heathers#bmc#be more chill#npmd#nerdy prudes must die#also someone still gets grievously injured in mean girls even though it's not like. horror or dark comedy#like all these other ones are#which i think is hilarious#you can't have high school without serious bodily harm#they're also all opening numbers that are like half dialogue

I love the shape language for Machete and Vasco, how angular and pointy the former is VS how round and soft the other... It's so GOOD I adore that
Thank you! I like the contrast as well, it makes them very fun to draw together. I try to keep them visually distinct while still making sure that they look harmonious and complementary next to each other.
#some more design musings that I've noticed that don't really matter but I tend to think about when drawing them:#Machete's shapes have an upward direction the ears the neck fluff and even the tip of his snout has that upturned angle#while Vasco's vibe is more loose and relaxed his huge floppy ears almost make him look like he's melting#neither of them have strong markings but the positioning of the gradients they have is very similar it's just different colors#Vasco has dark almond eyes (with what I can only describe as disney eyelashes)#his irises appear nearly black but if you shone a strong light directly on them they'd reveal a honey/amber hue#Machete's eyes are big and prominent with disproportionally small pupils#lately I've been drawing him with just the faintest salmon colored irises#but if the color scheme of the piece calls for it they can be depicted more vividly red#Machete has longer untameable fur here and there while Vasco is uniformly smooth and velvety#Machete is supposed to be the serious and inhibited half of the two but his face has a lot more expressive potential than Vasco's#it's actually kind of a struggle that I can't make Vasco emote with his ears at all those are typically a huge advantage in furry art#Vasco's body language is open and casual he takes up space confidently#Machete is usually very closed and defensive he has a habit of crossing his arms and legs and keeping his hands together and close to body#in general Vasco shouldn't be wearing anything black or red and Machete can't be seen wearing blue or gold#white is neutral territory it's usually the color of sleepwear and undershirts and as a result has a more intimate tone to it#answered#ardate

seeing ppl reblog a “shitpost” where dean homophobically rejects Cas in the confession not realizing it’s literally from w* / destiel haters who think dean doesn’t give af abt Cas and would actually do that. like yea I don’t expect ppl to vet blogs but like, I saw it and immediately got a Vibe from it and was right
#it’s wild how much deancrit destiel shippers will literally just end up parroting anti destiel things and headcanons#bc they think it’s funny that dean would be ‘homophobic’ or hate him and think he’d treat Cas like that#like truly I do not understand those kinds of ppl or how they can ship destiel if they actually hate one half of the ship but.#unfortch they exist. and it becomes sooo funny to them to reblog these kinds of posts that are literally from ‘the other side’#and then other ppl just uncritically reblog them and spread literal w*ncestie/br0nly ideas and headcanon around#anyways yes I’m too serious for certain subsections of this fandom#like sorry I’m not gonna reblog a shitpost that completely goes against what I believe abt these characters#he WOULDNT say ‘let the darkness take you faggot’. he WASNT holding back a ‘slur’. joking abt it isn’t funny to me 💁🏻♀️#esp since those are exactly the kind of things anti destiel ppl said to invalidate the confession or dean’s own feelings#and insist destiel ‘isn’t real’ bc Dean didn’t say anything / ‘looked like he was holding back a slur’ etc#fandom annoying me as per usual#it’s also abt sticking to your convictions for me#like either you think dean was in love with cas and distraught and processing and wanting to reciprocate in that scene#or you don’t

In your new fic, how dark is Anakin really? I know he Falls when Obi-Wan goes missing/runs off to Melida/Daan, but even the flashbacks before that make him sound pretty dark for a Jedi even if Obi-Wan doesn't see it
good question!
i think anakin is pretty not ok even before he Falls - he's twenty years older than obi-wan in this fic so that's twenty whole years to fuck around, be manipulated by palpatine, train ahsoka and then have her leave the Order anyway, etc etc
in one of the first iterations of this fic, i wanted anakin to be dark/Fallen the very first time he meets Obi-Wan and I think a lot of that is still present in the final fic, in that first flashback when obi-wan is sparring with chun and it gets out of hand. anakin is watching and anakin is appreciative that it got so out of hand, that obi-wan bit and drew blood from another padawan, that he fell so easily into his darker instincts.
so what if obi-wan had had a master by then?? anakin wanted him as his apprentice the moment he saw him fighting, some scrappy feral initiate whose mind relented so easily to anakin's Force touch.
if obi-wan had already been chosen by a different master, i'm like 90/10 certain that master would very suddenly and unexpectedly die. it's war after all. tragedies happen.
#asks#throat fic au#so that's basically how dark i think anakin is#the dubious morality tag can be applied to anakin throughout#whats also interesting to me is the way obi-wan reacts#and how obi-wan himself is a bit more feral and less refined#a bit darker even though he would never admit it#anakins like (probably covered in blood because he ordered the execution of half the fighters on melida/daan): i would have killed everyone#if you died before i got to you. and if youre ever hurt the entire galaxy will burn and that's a skywalker promise.#and obi-wan is like. oh he sounds so serious. oh im so aroused.#like obi-wan!!!! get it together baby

something I think people forget re: taboo fiction or art is how formative it often is for children; either by contrasting normality, or highlighting the absence of it: making kids more aware of their reality and could-be realities, testing the waters of their imagination, warming up their empathy-drive. it’s about understanding, of situations and of character, of choices made then un-made. yapping here but I’m thinking of my childhood best friend telling me in hushed tones about flowers in the attic, or us huddled together watching the phantom of the opera and wishing this time Christine will choose her ostensible (objective) abuser—who we couldn’t help but see our own insecurities in, feel connected to on account of otherness and being othered; I remember talking to her about the peach scene in call me by your name (book not movie; our friendship had stalled by that point) and that one wattpad story where a man kidnapped four girls he named after flowers and raped them; writing our own stories about torn bodies and ghosts and angels who can’t be good and magic that only ruins everything and love that is hurtful more than it is pure — stories that, to us, didn’t reflect on something miserable, only something true. I don’t know. we had only so many words/worlds to grow into; art as expression, not representation
#maybe this is just a me thing. but considering the popularity of twilight and the hunger games (in general ya dystopia) maybe not#stems I think from the childlike desire for something serious and therefore something real; to no longer feel like half the world is#obscured to you through belittlement. and that’s really what it is isn’t it? lack of respect continues abuse; self-caused or not#at a certain point it’s the only thing you understand. often times darker fiction (subjective term) is the only space afforded to children#to actually express themselves; especially as they grow up especially as they go through puberty. too much of the saccharine and not#enough of the sordid and that's the only thing that expresses maturity which is to children the same as respectability#also this is saying nothing of the general fascination with and inclination towards dark or tragedic narratives which obviously#applies to children because they are people like the rest of us. we're just as capable of being shaped by morbidity as we are of/by joy#will shut up now I promise. got my childhood on the brain so expect more weirdly vaguely sentimental posts though#log

Severen joking about being the good looking one, and Jesse rolling his eyes because really, Severen how old are you? Diamondback loops her arm through Jesse's and tells Severen he's wrong. Jesse cracks a small smile because its sweet of her, but Diamond grins and says "I'm the good looking one."
#both men agree#trying to work on a diamondback origin story and something weirdly sweet is how in the film she and jesse are touchy but its like they exist#in the same space#like i want to see more of Bigelow's work just to see her directing couples bc its SO....#we never get any serious words of affection we never get anything more romantic really than hand holding and half embraces#everything is just gestures and expressions#near dark

Started listening to All Work No Play on the way to work and at the end of episode 2 this morning I heard the beginnings of character creation for the game that would become Critical Role! 🥹
#all work no play#liam o'brien#sam riegel#critical role#scanlan shorthalt#vax'ildan#like omg i thought sam saying hed never played dnd before was a bit until i realized he was being serious#and they started going over the dnd races and classes and liam mentioned that he and laura could be twin half elves!#like ahhhh! it was like peeking at the conception of a newborn star; witnessing the first flashes of the brightest thing in the dark#comfort media

I really hope I can find some ability to fall asleep easily before winter, because untold horrors will emerge if I wake up at 4pm when it is already dark outside.
#Absolute unparalleled suicidality when this occurs.#Half of the insomnia is purely psychological.#So I am able to fall asleep at 4am in summer because that is when it gets light again.#It's not really about some fear of the dark... I am comfortable in near or pure darkness.#It's just that nighttime sets in a terrible existential dread for me.#It's rather caveman-esque if you think about it.#Ah whatever...#It is not that serious. I just don't enjoy winter.#delete later.#It's a nighttime thing not a darkness thing so having a light on at night will not help me. I don't actually like that kind of thing...#The most I accept is the miscellaneous light from outside so I don't mind having a curtain open. It's pleasant.

im working on it in my free time and i hope i can start posting it by the end of the year (hopefully... shaking my fist at the sky and also my assessments)
#still not 100% sure on the title....#first one i came up with was 'is the candle half melted?' like is the cup half empty or half full#but it made me laugh every time i saw it on the doc#i also thought about 'candle holders for melted wax' but i dont know if thats too edgy#because this is supposed to be like. sitcom comedy vibes but with some serious moments#name suggestions are welcome ! please. pretty please#kid icarus uprising#kid icarus#oh also he/they dark pit sorry i dont make the rules

Those quick-jumps out of prison leave something to be desired... (P1 | P2 | P3) (Patreon)
#Doodles#Law Abiding Citizen#LAC#LAC Russ#Doug Peterson#It's funny 'cause the post that houses the tags that inspired this train of thought was not that long ago right?#But in real time it's been about a week and a half since I wrote those - which means I had a bit to stew on them before jumping in hehe#Russ in solitary appealed to me too much to just leave alone#Much like Doug to Russ! Lol#There's also something about drawing him in an orange uniform that's Something hmm ♪#I always feel like I set them down for just long enough to forget how to draw them lol#Well the idea wouldn't leave me alone no matter what so here they are anyhow! Haha#Honestly even to the point where I've considered doing a big write about it hm hmm ♫#But for as long as I'm toning them I'll be happy to show off my process doodles lol#They're too sparsely posted! Fix it!#It does feel indulgently dark but that also aligns with them and their whole Deal - they're rather flexible on that front :)#They can be silly and they can be serious! I am kind of ignoring timing-and-placement vis a vis who says what went lol#It's part of the indulgence hehe#Anyway! Lol#I feel like Russ would be pretty quickly shunted out of sight of everyone if any of his abilities stayed intact#''He keeps setting shit on fire - nobody can figure out how! He doesn't have a lighter!''#Bad behaviour! You're not going to be released quickly if you keep that up!#Just stick him in a box and don't worry about it anymore#Why doesn't Doug help him break out? Where's the fun if he starts as a criminal? Where's the challenge of corruption?#No it's just an excuse lol ♪ They both kinda just overlook Russ' time in prison in canon it would defeat the purpose to here#What new adventures will they get up to :3c

#we die in the dark so you can live in the light#that isnt a fucking military thing#thst some quote a guy on the wiki came up with for a broken masquerade poster five years ago#and that developed a life of its own as a kind of motto for the mtfs#because of course#i mean theyre like fictional military??? idk but it isnt something associated with the real military or cod as far as i know#as i did a looooot of research of the quote once because i couldnt believe it was just from scp#there is a tale called that wich is about a random mtf#but idc#theyre not as interesting as the researchers#except if theyre members of the aufgebot and actually spies for the mages academy#because im way too obsessed with that beaten to death half joke that i also take way too serious lol#in that case its fun#most of the time the mobile task force people die just as fast as the d class#anyways i saw that quote and had to double take lol#fanfic where the 141 somehow end up crossing paths with the foundation#it could be fun#someone wrote an au where theyre all trapped in the infinite ikea#wich is always fun because who doesnt like the infinite swedish furniture pre-hell#but anyways i need an actual crossover#i need ghost to fight some sarkics#stuff#text#scp#call of duty

AU where Ruby says no to incest and decides not to pursue Aqua romantically after she has learned that he is her first love reincarnated as her twin and instead she tries to start dating other men in order to forget about him, but her choice falls onto Taiki of all people
#oshi no ko#concepts#Ruby trying to escape the twincest only to end up in a relationship with her half-brother would be hilarious#currently reading the tokyo blade arc#haven't gotten to the reveal yet but I was like y'know what would be funny? and I had to post this#appearance wise Taiki could be her type he looks a bit like a younger Goro#glasses + dark hair + serious personality
