DEVASTATING the lyric you've been mishearing is better than the real one

#i've been listening to icarus by bastille #and for some reason my brain fills in 'this is how it feels to take a fall' as 'this is how it feels to take off all your skin'#and like fuck man #and I KNOW that’s technically not a misheard lyric but my post my rules cope #anyway my line now #also probably phrased this poorly but its ok #im allowed to be incomprehensible #as a treat #and then fuckin #from we sink by of monsters and men #the original line was 'please look away dont look at me'#and i kept hearing it as 'please learn a way to look at me'#anyway #shoving this post in the queue but please be aware that i am writing it very late at night #q

pals drinking together (hand practice that got out of control)

#team fortress 2 #tf2 fanart #tf2 #tf2 medic #tf2 heavy #heavymedic #im british ok drawing people drinking is part of my hierarchy of needs #i had to draw so many casual outfits so it didn't look like a singular pubcrawl #these are all unrelated doodles i collected together but #i wanted it to sort of look like heavy is warming up to medic over time and medic is learning to shut up and listen #trying to expand my mental library of hands and holding glasses by drawing them a lot sigh #some of these hands are terrible so back to the drawing board (har har) until i get them right #one day i'll draw these characters consistantly

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

#simon says #i love learning so much and I hate the USA's college debt system #once they make that shit free I will be unstoppable #this topic sprung up because I had the idea that im very academic and annoyingly analytical that I might as well get a degree in it #because without a degree you just seem like an autistic asshole #but with a degree? then you look like a CREDIBLE autistic asshole #don't worry I will still learn but I still want that funky piece of paper to tell everyone I learnt it #also there's some things that are VERY difficult to learn #like I would love to persue this topic further but unfortunately I would need help with that #also before you say 'try taking [blank] classes instead! it's less expensive than a degree!' im broke #my only learning resource is the library sorry about that #also this is not the post to give me unwarranted financial advice #finances are one of the topics I DO NOT care about and I WILL NOT listen to a word you say

The musical episode.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin guangyao #nie mingjue #Remember jin guangyao: If you do any treachery you will face the wrath of five horses.#When are the horses going to come into play? You'll see.#s2.ep8 had beautiful music... I listened to it on loop while drawing!#Good music to chill out to before you fly into a rage.#This episode really cements how JGY's mind works - It is a matter of long-term outcomes at the sake of nearly everything else.#Morals do not matter to him if the outcome is more favourable.#and at the center of it all - he has learned that the only person he can truly trust is himself.#In turn - the only person his actions benefit are himself.#He will do anything and everything it takes to reach a position of power - not just for the power. But because it means safety.#Because it was something he was denied and the idea of not having control in his life again is unforgivable.#'Happiness' isn't a goal. We are looking at someone still stuck at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.#Everything and everyone is a piece in a game. Bonds and friendships are assets. People are dispensable.#He wants to climb for the sake of climbing. He wants praise and recognition because he feels it is deserved. It's all so hollow.#We could go deeper into his psyche on this.#But these are also tags under a comic in which 'evil penis music' is the punchline.

they licensed his ass

my finished piece of the FWMS (official name definitely 100%) thing we started a few days ago! I had fun I hope folks had and/or continue to have fun with the sketch as well.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhsy #riz gukgak #Fuck With My Sketch #I mean it I'm gonna use that. gotta stop me if u dont wanna #doing things like this is bittersweet bc this slaps and I look at this and Im like well. I will never be able to nail this look again #I guess that's the plight of self taught art. but also it means you have to learn to let go and go look for different delights #you can't get too attached to one way of doing things. you will find many new things on ur way to make more funny bictures n such #this slaps tho Im so happy with how this came out lol. its be a long while since I last drew something in this vein #appropriate that its for riz lol he deserves it. he deserves the photoshoot pieces #funny enough this also kind of was prompted by drawfee? in one of the episodes I was binging (I thiiiink the one bg a day ep)#jacob brought up one of the artists I follow on twitter (havent been there in a decent while lol) who uses a pretty distinct #blue-on-red palette that got me to think abt teal-on-red and then this happened #funny enough I did start the piece with teal-on-red but then I shifted to blue after and was like wait I love this suddenly #and then committed lol. I should work with teal-on-red properly more but for now! we have fun! we enjoy #thats my journey thank u for listening. thank u for drawing with me if u have and come hang next time if u havent

Big Mama must have lost some serious standing in the yokai underworld because it’s gotten apparent that she keeps being beaten by a small group of teenagers and the occasional rat man, and when it’s not them then she’s taking L’s from her own schemes working against her.

And in the ensuing power vacuum, the Hamatos accidentally become the most feared crime family known to all the big bads of the Hidden City.

After all, they’ve publicly outplayed Big Mama multiple times, a couple of them have taken out the heads of two of the most well known criminal organizations, one took out Heinous Green, two are responsible for the destruction of Witch Town, they have ties to both the infamous Baron Draxum and Captain Piel, they won the Doom Dome death race, they’re Battle Nexus Champions, they’ve displayed insane feats of power and defeated impossibly strong enemies, most of them have been to jail, and they regularly mingle with humans.

You can just imagine the notoriety they’d accumulate from word of mouth alone.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise of the tmnt #I didn’t even list everything the Hamatos are MENACES #it’s so funny #bonus if none of the Hamatos realize how terrifying their presence in the Hidden City has become #every time Leo goes to bother Hueso the guy just has his head in his hands like Pepino…I JUST got my brother out of crime…and now you???’#Leo’s just like ‘lmao what crime’#meanwhile a trail of destruction follows them wherever they go #just look at the library smh #the small time yokai villains hearing about how scary the fam is and having two different reactions #one being no way are we talking about the same babies tripping over themselves and barely beating anyone #the other is oh god I barely escaped with my LIFE huh #sunita listening to all the worry her parents have about this new ‘Hamato Family’ and laughing inside #she tells April and April keeps it a secret to see how long it takes the others to realize it #when accused of crime Donnie accidentally and largely unprompted starts denying his digital asset thefts and then has to deny he denied it #when he learns of what is thought of them Raph has a crisis the poor boy #Mikey’s happy they’re ‘known for being a family!:)’#he - kinda terrifyingly - kinda likes the thought of that lol #Leo: 🤔 think I could go back to that hair spa then? (no)#in their defense while they are MENACES society is ALSO a menace to THEM

(holds all three in my hands) I just think they're neat

#listen Im not that into starop #but I do think Skyfire x Optimus (SkyOp?? JetOp?? they got some potential ship names) has some funny potential #skyfire and optimus trying to move on from their decepticon exes and falling in love with each other #meanwhile starscream in the back like ''exCUSE ME? YOU'RE DATING OPTIMUS FUCKING PRIME? NOT ON MY WATCH'' and becoming a weird third wheel #then they all kinda accidentally fall in love. all three of them. they try to make it work #I love the idea of ''divorced autobots trying to heal and learn to fall in love again while starscream tries to foil their relationship #only to accidentally fall in love with those two''#this is Also just the biggest middle finger they can give to Megatron and i think that's perfect #optimus looking at skyfire and starscream before going at megatron like ''well if you dont want them they can be with me''#megatron ''what''#imagining megs seeing his two greatest enemies and one of his traitor getting together. imagine being so shitty all your exes got together #the fire burns #the fire crackles with joy #low quality shitpost #transformers g1 #transformers #skyfire #jetfire #starscream #optimus prime #skystar #starop #skyop #skystarop #new ship name dropped. at least their combined names actually work as a ship name

Some more advice for fellow adults: set your ego aside and let younger people (even kids!) educate and teach you. There is no shame in looking to a younger person for education and knowledge. It is, actually, a big facet of humanity that we teach each other - why, then, does that teacher need to be the Right Age in order for you to be willing to learn from them?

#youth liberation #adultism #i'm looking to a younger person to teach me about crochet and it's actually FINE #it's actually not an attack on Your Ego that a young person is more knowledgeable about something or possesses a talent at a level you dont!#and personally i like learning from younger people because they tend to be kind and PASSIONATE about what they are talented at!#like the young person i'm learning crochet from has this super bubbly and energetic personality and that's MOTIVATING me #and it feels less like they're just dictating crochet at me and more like we're equals sharing a passion and a craft #and THAT is what makes people want to learn. THAT is what will keep people engaged and motivated even when it gets tough #frankly it's just... kind of a red flag to me when somebody devalues younger people SO MUCH that they REFUSE to listen or learn from them #it's just... arrogance and cruelty for the sake of cruelty in my eyes

They're off to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz!!

I actually started this last month and then got burnt out and didn't finish it until now but whatever I FINISHED IT!! I finished watching Scooby Doo and Guess Who last month and there's a Wizard of Oz parody in the last episode and I just knew I had to do fanart, a legal requirement if you will.

I kept Shaggy, Fred and Velma's costumes from the episode the same but I thought Daphne and Scooby deserved costumes that were a bit more personal too. But who would the wizard in question be?? Well don't worry because I drew art for that too!!

I just can't stop thinking about a proper direct to DVD scooby WOZ parody film and how Van Ghoul should be the wizard, like in my head it's perfect.

#my art #scooby doo #scooby doo fanart #daphne blake #fred jones #shaggy rogers #velma dinkley #mystery incorporated #scooby doo and guess who #vincent van ghoul #mystery inc #the background took so long god it was so hard to figure out #im a not background girlie I mostly do character art so I figured the best way to learn was to draw something I like #idk i looked at other scooby background arts from trick or treat and the other modern movies but I still cannot BG paint I fear #turned out pretty alright though Im happy with it #mad props to background painters cause idk how they do it well I suppose they both know how to do it and enjoy doing it so thats how #but whatever the point is that it impresses me as I drew one and burnt out #but I LOVED drawing that sandwich like listen shaggy and scooby had a point to make when they make those things

Jason doesn’t really remember the first time he saw Frosty, maybe it was when his mom started to take a turn for the worst or the Christmas he was first on the streets.

Frosty just been a constant in his life. He may not speak but it doesn’t mean Jason couldn’t listen.

If the winds whipped him to a building he would run.

If Frost pointed to a dumpster he would look.

And if the white haired boy looked sad when he floated around then it wasn’t like there was anyone else to give his hugs.

Jason loved Frosty. He trusted him in a way he couldn’t begin to describe.

So when Frost late one night grabbed his hand and showed him the Batmobile, he didn’t really hesitate.

#dp x dc #writing prompt #danny fenton #danny phantom #dc x dp #jason todd #batman #baby jason #Danny recently becoming the ghost of Gotham: who’s little baby is this?#Danny not even wait for an answer: my baby now #the only time Jason didn’t listen to Danny was when he ran away #lesson learned #*red hood doing his usual thing*#Danny following behind him invisible: aww look at my baby go! they grow up so fast!
