i cant believe i just witnessed someone unironically talking shit about other dca fans n saying that they're "the only normal fan" lmao

dni with me if youre that kind of person that looks down on someone because you don't like how they interpret a character or how they express their love for that character, sorry but you're just an egoistic bitch that thinks is better than everyone else

[luckyartdrawer]

I can't hold onto an art style even if you paid me-

I cannot believe how flustered this drawing makes me and it's not even suggestive...

The fixation is BAD y'all 😭😭😭

More yapping and silliness under the cut vvvv

Thought I'd work on a rendered Moon drawing since Sun got one! This is like the 3rd attempt for me to get a good pose, but it's safe to say I'm happy with this one enough to share. Though this one isn't in reference to any scene, it's just good ol' Moon :)

Sorry for the bad image quality btw! I work on a drawing tablet but I don't have Internet where I'm currently living, so shitty phone pics and phone data is the only way i'm able to share atm...

(I'll post the finished render when done - if I ever find a way to get the quality image on my phone or once I get back to the college dorms 😭)

Also-

I hope some of y'all love that this little guy is on the same document as much as I do LMAOOO

(Someoneeee's petty spaghettiiiii-)

Heading off to the vets now to buy Pumpkin more gabapentin - the bad news is he'll be on them forever :( the good news is that with them he is like his old self again :)

The other bad news is the cost! He already has to have special food because he has a sensitive tummy, I use a special litter that smells like pine because I have a small apartment, he has pet insurance fees monthly, and a pet plan at the vets for his worm and flea treatment that's paid monthly - so basically he will be costing me more each month than my mortgage payment for my whole ass apartment lmaooooo

Fingers all crossed that I can get his gabapentin on his insurance somehow - it's a Lifetime plan so it's supposed to cover lifelong illnesses/injuries - going to go and discuss it now!

Ramble time about Makoto and a little mini headcanon I came up with cus why not B]

Sometimes, I like to believe that Makoto gets really deep into stuff. Basically him in his own little world, hyper-focused to the max such as him cleaning, research, planning. Stuff like that. In the peak level of him in this state, he'd go, burst into a room, rummage around for anything he might need, and leave all while anyone who was in the now ransacked room is just 100% ignored. Bursting into rooms with the determination of the Kool-Aid Man (def not the strength tho) Makoto doesn't even remember that there were people in the room either. He could have been in a room with 58 other people for instance and if you quizzed him on how many people were in that room he'd just blank out like "People? What people?" This applies to whoever he lives with as an adult as well as way back with his parent's and sister. I can see his parent's never getting why he'd zone out like this. Like, they've tried to get it cus they of course wanna understand this weird part about their oldest child. They never really succeeded with it though and just accepted it as one of his weird quirks. Meanwhile, Komaru teased the shit about it to him cus of course she would. After all, it's the little sister privilege to completely dunk on the older sibling. 'Tis the law. Plus, it's not like it's the biggest piece of ammo she has on her older brother. This is Makoto we're talking about after all. Also, cus why not, (might as well be a BIT self-serving hehehe) I'm slipping in my mini headcanon of Makoto, Kyoko, and Byakuya living together casually in the same apartment/small house. Plus, it's funny imagining these two experiencing Makoto's little moments like this. Feel Kyoko would be more used to Makoto basically forgetting her existence when he gets into these hyper-focusing grind moments. Even when she first learned about it, I doubt it'd affect her much. Like, what is she gonna do? Have a little grudge for a solid week and a half with her roommate and lowkey boyfriend? And, besides, what idiot would have a grudge going on for that lon- oh right... Byakuya exists. Yeah, unsurprisingly, the heir is the type to be petty as shit about something like this. Has 100% without fail been disappointed to some extent and bummed out whenever he gets ignored like this. Or ignored in general. At the end of the day, he's a bit of an attention whore (the bit taking it lightly) It's his tsundere way to act like a needy, bastard cat. He'd basically take it personally while Kyoko's shaking her head cus he's taking it personally and Byakuya's all like "Tch. Stop making the assumption I'm taking it personally" and they go back and forth about it during the week all while Byakuya side eyes Makoto who's very much not aware he's even done anything wrong. His little stunt only happened once that week and he doesn't even remember Byakuya being in the room with him while he was rushing about their living quarters looking for junk like some toothpaste and a hanger. And this goes on until the week ends until Byakuya's basically over it, Kyoko gives him the whole "I told you so" look which for her is just her regular expression but with one of her brows slightly raised which she may or may not be actively trying to raise it higher but can't cus that's as far as it goes. Also this is a common occurrence for them all at least once a month. Oh, and the week is the minimum amount of time for Byakuya to hold a petty grudge for and they've lasted way longer ^v^

FOR WHEN U ARE WELL RESTED: THIS IS AN INVITATION TO YAP UR HEART OUT ABT CRICKET AND JENSEN

MWAHAHAHAHAHA YESSSS THANK YOU BLESS YOU LYNX YAP TIME!!!

THIS IS GONNA BE LONG.

Okay so Cricket was actually the first Kasuar oc! As in she was the first Kasuar who had a name, history, and discernible personality for longer than 24 hours and the first to ever be revealed as so. Originally her name was Millipede and instead of her distinguishing helm she had a ballistic mask like Eddies! She also had a gigantic shrapnel scar on the side of her face but I late opted for that tiny one on her lips.

She also had much much thicker armor. She looked totally different actually. I may have to show some designs later. Jensen changed only a bit. For a small amount of time she was a Eule before turning back to Ara again. 

Their unit moves with a series of mobile artillery cannons and guns. Jensen is one of the many units assigned to care for and maintain them. In a pinch, she assists with loading. The actual infantry and the artillery are usually close when moving but don’t actually move together, so they didn’t meet right away. Only a few glancing hellos or Cricket lifting a hefty shell. 

It’s a lot harder for Cricket to just up and help other units than the others. Even with her scars, Millie looks approachable and friendly. Cricket not so much so she keeps a bit away. Their unit moves with a series of mobile artillery, cannons, and guns. Jensen is one of the many units assigned to care for and maintain them. In a pinch, she assists with loading. The actual infantry and the artillery are usually close when moving but don’t actually move together, so they didn’t meet right away. Only a few glancing hellos or Cricket lifting a hefty shell. 

Cricket is scary. She looks like the boogeyman. (I do have to explain why she’s scary. In a sec, promise.) so she usually keeps her distance from other units and gestalts (this does not help her image in the long run) to not make them uncomfortable, and only ever actually goes to helping the others are busy. When she does, she does her thing and leaves.

The soldiers and workers aren’t close in their position but they mingle a lot whenever they're not in combat. So Cricket ends up marching near that cute Ara a few times, the latter of which always sounds so passionate talking about wildflowers and how they grow and she found one growing next to a crater a while ago. She wears flowers in her hair and next thing you know Cricket has a secret crush. 

Cricket keeps it to herself and she does a pretty good job for the most part. Only Millipede and Eiche find out on their own. Cricket just tells the others what’s on her mind around the campfire one night. She doesn’t make any moves because she assumes that no Ara wants anything to do with Cricket. She always smells like blood and her fingers are rough and worn out. Forget about how scary she is. Whenever she does go near them, it’s all careful side eyes and jumping whenever she speaks. So against the advice of her giggling unit she keeps to herself.

Until one day Jensen’s alone with her work and the unit gathers up some flowers and tells Cricket there’s not gonna be a good time for it. She’s probably gonna get carpet bombed to bits by the end of the week. Why wait?

She does her hair for the first time in her life, (Millie helped) promptly hides most of it with her helmet, lifts the visor, and walks up to Jensen/

“Hey, I think you’re really cool and awesome and your voice sounds pretty. I washed the blood outta my armor do you like me?”

or something like that. Cricket doesn’t actually stutter. She always speaks with very clear and sounded out words and she doesn’t really get shy. 

Still, Cricket is ready to bolt. She doesn’t actually figure it’s a possibility that Jensen likes her. Cricket is quiet and just generally never talks to anyone. She’s never said anything more than a few words to Jensen at a time. BUT lo and behold, Jensen likes her too!

Turns out Cricket is really sweet if you get under her several-thousand-meter thick shell. She spends a lot of time with Millie so it rubs off, but she’s just gentle physically in general. When she does anything she uses really light movements with her hands. Once she was replanting a flower that got derooted by the moving vehicles, and she didn’t use the aggressive open-your-fucking-ribcage movements she does in combat. It was light small movements and caressing the petals and stem and very carefully replanting it somewhere safer.

She’s like this a lot, Jensen notices after a while. She talks very gently to imperial citizens and comforts the children whose parents died. If she feels like she’s too scary she even asks another Kasuar to help out instead.

So now Jensen too, has a crush on the big scary Kasuar. Her cadre asks her why she’s acting all funny and after a sec (like right away) she’s gushing about the one Kasuar who’s probably never actually smiled.

When Cricket walks over to Jensen with the flowers it’s roses and sunshine. They take a moment (cricket especially) to get really comfortable with each other but they get really really close. Eventually Jensen’s an Honorary Kasuar and sits with the others when she wants to. Cricket gets to sit with the Aras sometimes too, though it takes a bit for them to warm up to her. Jensen told them all about Cricket but Cricket really is scary.

Okay so now you know how they met. On to why Cricket is scary.

Kasuars are usually rowdy and bloodthirsty. They’re unstable at the best of times and while they’re oddly very gentle a lot of the time, there’s no getting past the fact that they react to fear with violence, being their only tool or power. Kasuars are already scary. They barely fear death (still do though) and pain is an old friend. Cricket is different because she’s not rowdy at all. 

She’s quiet and speaks in a monotone, plain voice. She’s also physically passive. She walks smoothly and seldom does anything big. She stand and sits silently. She’s scary in the way a silent forest is scary. No birdsong. No bugs, no deer, nothing. Just silence. Like a highway with no traffic. There is something deeply wrong with that forest and there’s something that makes it that way kind of scary. 

And she’s the most physically violent of the Kasuars. She uses a machine gun and a club but that’s hardly enough. She drops them so she can literally tear limbs apart and uses those as weapons. She was the first to find that ribs make for excellent projectiles. It’s hardly just that she ends up being violent, she actively goes for excessiveness. If you bite her hand while fighting she will pull the jaw clean off and beat you to death with it. 

If someone wants info from a particularly stubborn imperial officer you call Cricket. she’ll threaten to rip out their heart and throw it to a different imperial so they’re more cooperative. The look in the eyes of the other soldiers shows she’s done worse before. 

She’s just scary in general. Everything about her screams that there’s either way too much or far too little in there. Whatever the case is there’s something deeply wrong with her.

It doesn’t help that she generally keeps her face covered by her helmet and just sticks to walls and shadows when she does move around. It just makes her more comfortable but doesn’t really help her case. So 

Something really interesting about Cricket is that she’s terrified. Constantly. Perpetually. She’s not scared of something in particular, it’s just an intrinsic part of her that never leaves. It’s the simple embodiment of fear that she feels all the time at any and every moment. It’s not that she’s scared of the bombs or the enemy or losing what she loves, it’s not something she can name, as much as she wants to. She is just scared. There’s no rhyme to it. 

Early on, it was Millie who first noticed. Baby cricket (baby in terms of young replika) was constantly sweating and nervous and about to throw up. She did throw up a few times even. Millie and her old unit just jotted it down to combat fright or fatigue. After the bombs stopped and the fighting was over the fear stayed. After a few weeks they all just realized that Cricket was just perpetually scared all the time. She asked for psychological help but soldiers don’t have that luxury until at least a year into service for Replikas. Kasuars never do get seen to since they’re meant to be cheap, plentiful, and expendable. Therapists are for more expensive and costly units. Cricket never got help and stayed scared. She was a deer in headlights and the headlights only get brighter. There’s nowhere to run and her hooves are stuck.

Eventually she got used to it. She stopped vomiting and being stiff. It was just another part of life’s horrid drudgery. She uses it to her advantage in combat now. Nothing scares her in comparison. Bombs falling? Bullets? Stabbed in the gut? She’s not any more scared than she is at any given moment. She seems to not know fear because she knows only fear. When she’s on the road and the car is coming with its blinding headlights she braces and hits the car back. 

That fear also makes her really really really paranoid. Not “they’re gonna get me” (though it does feel that way) so much as “nothing is real and everything will cave in on me when I blink. If i don’t blink the world will freeze. If I move the world will melt like sand. If I don’t it’ll swallow me.” Kind of stuff.

That’s why she’s so physically affectionate. The only real way to assure her that something is there and won’t just up and leave is to touch it. Cricket likes holding hands and touching the people she loves because she can feel the solid nature of them. The only time she feels really remotely safe is when she’s touching someone. So she likes to tap on Jensen’s arms and just the rest of her in general whenever they’re together. Just timely reassurances that she’s still there. Jensen never does ask about it but she has her suspicions. 

Cricket can’t sleep alone either. She’ll awkwardly ask when the others are going to rest and sleeps next to them. It’s mostly Eiche and Millie she likes to sit near other than Jensen. If nobody is resting she’ll stay up and work. If she can’t do that she’ll sit and fixate hard in any tangible object near her. Like counting the scratches on a tree with her fingers. 

You know the tale of Orpheus? How he went to the underworld to get his dead wife back, and he could keep her in the land of the living if he went all the way back out of the underworld  with her behind him, but he couldn’t look back? All he could hear was her breathing. Well, he looks back for obvious reasons and never gets his wife.

That’s life for Cricket. Only she’s in the underworld all the time and even if she looks back she’s not sure anyone’s there. So she’s really careful to be gentle because she doesn’t want anyone else to be scared. That’s another reason why she avoids others. She can’t imagine a worse fate than being scared and she’d rather not be the reason for the fear.

something about the first four episodes of fionna and cake and feeling like you don’t fit in/having no sense of purpose

ep 1 fionna campbell: feeling like there’s something more out there, feeling trapped in mundane life

ep 2 simon petrikov: trying to find purpose and meaning in your life, feeling useless, feeling out of place, feelings of grief

ep 3 cake the cat: literally and figuratively feeling lost, stumbling in an unfamiliar place (And maybe becoming public enemy number one along the way)

ep 4 prismo the wishmaster: growing detached from your work, yearning for something more (Again)

number 5! @simcardiac-arrested

theyre so funny i squish them like bugs

[lifenconcepts]

When I litterally know how to deal with dozens of situations and scenarios and how to help myself in many ways and yet none of which that I currently need.

like, yeah I can deal with rejection, I can handle a social interaction almost ideally, I can befriend many different people, I can calm down somewhat reasonably quick, I can insist well, I can convince people, i can analyse my situation and understand why I’m feeling what I am, I write well, I can make great ideas sometimes, and other times I have the motivation to do anything.

and yet when I am lacking a place to find someone to befriend, my creativity & motivation don’t come at the same time, I can’t really force myself to do anything, and I have a somewhat troublesome neurodivergence that just makes me docile to whatever life throws at me - what do I do then!?

Istg I could solve anyone’s problems but mine, I’ve had dozens of experiences and understand a huge array of the hows and what’s and whys and got tips and advice for almost anyone, but for myself? Man, is the only answer to just keep growing? Figuring myself out more each day? I grew so reliant on always knows how to do anything I needed to do, taking baby steps constantly and reaching a healthy point in my life, but now that I’m here I don’t exactly know where to go next. Everyone else is on their own special journey, and yet most are too far apart or in front of me. The only metaphorical people I can speak to on this plane are the ones behind me, and offer my advice, and their advice is only worth something to those on their level, but me? Gosh, I don’t even know.

like I am totally fine with this, I really am, but it’s still nevertheless confusing as to the overall thing of me needing like a bit of guidance and yet first of all I don’t know how to properly seek it and second of all nobody knows properly how to give it and those who do give it I no longer require that specific knowledge. In short:

the blue is too different from my needs and life to offer any meaningful advice, green is similar but I’ve already passed that point, and anyone else is so far away I can’t even see them. Ya get me?

[astro-vision-au]
