So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.
#'but lucabyte didnt you already do a comic with this exact same message? that loop has potentially killed their party intentionally before?'#yes i did absolutely do that thank you for noticing. that is what the cannibalism comic is about. no that was not a metaphor. lol#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#sifloop#isat siffrin#isat loop#in stars and time fanart#isat fanart#lucabyteart#ill ramble elsewhere some other time. maybe in a text post. but. long and short of it: even if you assume the answer to 'how do they know'#is that in sasasap isa got frozen once. theres still the fact that the loops are from sif being too distressed. how far gone does a siffrin#have to be before they can witness a party member die and notice it has no effect. how does loop feel to have planned to kill the party#during act 3. why did they NEED to show sif that. are they trying to preemtively stop them from getting the idea in their head#that maybe that might work? when they're out of all other options? when they just get so frustrated and at wits end?#loop helps in subtle ways through the whole game. and in less subtle ways like begging sif not to use the dagger. and while yes the#overarching reason you need to learn that the loops are tied to sif is because you need to figure out wish craft.... loop doesn't know the#actual mechanics of the loops themselves. just what didn't work. the power of friendship. getting the final hit in. being perfect. etc...#and besides all that.. how did loop feel during that hangout. being so deceitful. especially since before the other shoe drops#sif is enjoying themselves. but they know what's coming the whole time.#as for: why bathing? its the obvious imagery for blood on their hands/washing/never being clean. and is a bit of an inversion of the other#piece i just drew with the other casual closeness and nudity being kind. this one is cruel instead.#anyway tag ramble over ill do a masterpost of all my fanwork with some directors commentary sometime i promise. since i know im often vague

blood blossom danny except i briefly talk about his version of the accident
It all happened so fast that Danny doesn't really remember dying at all. It was like, one moment he was alive, the next he's dead. He remembers hitting the button, and the lights coming on, and then a great big flash.
Then he was outside of the portal.
He thinks he may have been screaming, but that's not true at all. The only sound he made was a split-second, startled gasp as the portal turned on, that was cut-off before he could finish the noise. The only ones who were screaming were Sam and Tucker; Danny was dead before he could feel anything.
The most vivid thing to him was the terror before the light. The blood rushing moment of mind-numbing fear and cold revelation that he was going to die, and there was nothing he could do about it. A weird sort of resignation, desperation, horror, and static calm that hit him all at once.
He was extremely disoriented when he woke up. Like waking up from a long nap and struggling to comprehend what the day or time was, but knowing instinctively that time has passed. He didn't stay in his ghost form for that long either, further cementing his confusion.
From the moment he hit the button to the few minutes after he woke up is an unsolved jigsaw puzzle to him.
It took him about a day and a half to fully remember what happened beyond 'went into the portal, then suddenly i was out of it and everyone was freaking out', and then a week to process.
Sam and Tucker remember his accident better than he does. They say he was in a daze after he woke up, before he recognized where he was. And he kinda just... squinted at them like he didn't know who they were, and said something in a language they couldn't understand. He was terrifyingly calm and passive, and still smoking.
(They later find out its ghostspeak. He was asking them where he was.)
It was only the moment he realized where he was that he transformed back into human. That's the moment where Danny's memory officially cuts back in for him. His first time as a ghost, and he doesn't really remember it that well.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc#dpxdc crossover#danny fenton#danny phantom#dpxdc au#blood blossom au#thinking about danny's accident is so fun. and also this version might just be my favorite interpretation of it. subtle horror my beloved#danny was dead before he even hit the ground.#also he was eleven when this all happened folks. which is like. wow horrifying. lol. lmao even.#if you havent read the prequel oneshot you should know: the hazmat suit was too big for him. so it swamped him.#he looked like he was playing dress up. danny wonders if he could've made it out of the portal before it turned on if it weren't for how#heavy the boots were. he was wearing his mom's and even those were still a bit too big on him. his footsteps were clunky and slow.#just like how a man stabbed in the back doesnt scream but gasp. danny didn't make a sound when he died. he didn't have the time to#sam and tucker were living in a horror movie for like. a GOOD solid five minutes before danny came to#and even after danny was still pretty dazed. but at least he could like. recognize where he was. even if he wasn’t sure about it#also when sam and tucker got the portal off danny was not inside it. his ghost formed behind them#he was kneeling and misting off the shoulders. they only noticed him when he got to his feet

Michael on the Zoe Ball Show this morning talking about David at the BAFTAs and I am dying. Notable excerpt:
ZB: "Ah, Michael Sheen, must say, well done to your mate DT at the BAFTAs." Michael: "Ohh, he did good. The boy did good!" ZB: "He did so good!" Michael: "And he looks good in a kilt as well, doesn't he?"
So...ten seconds into Michael's appearance on the show and David comes up (on St. David's Day, no less). And apropos of absolutely nothing, Michael brings up David looking good in that kilt. Unprompted. For no reason whatsoever. I need to lie down...
#michael sheen#welsh seduction machine#david tennant#soft scottish hipster gigolo#the zoe ball show#BAFTAs 2024#very very married#favorite look of the night by far#and i am not at all surprised that it was Michael's too#i'm very much enjoying the soft!Dom/top energy of this#it's giving shades of 'i have found a boy i like and i have his photo'#michael is about as subtle as a drunken llama on roller skates#at this point the subtext might as well be a billboard#i can't#time to add this to the list of Michael publicly thirsting over David#which at this point is the length of a Dead Sea scroll#amazing#ineffable lovers

Fun concept to introduce writeblr and readblr to; slowburn worldbuilding. Picture this. You are dropped into a setting. The rules of the setting are not immediately explained to you, but as the characters move along the plot / their lives / their character arcs and the world, you start piecing things together. Maybe the characters already know what's up with their world, but you as the audience have to figure out what's up based on what you encounter over time.
#little more showing than telling#more subtle ways of telling too#there are good times and places for dunking down a chunk of worldbuilding in dialogue and narration#but i'm fascinated by stories where you have to be an active observer in order to fully understand what's going on#also i just would like to kill the expectation that one must know All The Lore by the end of book 1#if you don't know all the lore after the first book#it might be because the later books are going to cover the spots that weren't so relevant at the beginning

y'all ever think about how rhys, despite being the atlas ceo, is forever marked by hyperion by his helios and elpis tattoos? cause i sure do
#the tattoo on his neck might be more obvious that its elpis inspired cause the rings on elpis are really similar#but the little sun motif on his sleeve is definitely a more subtle reference to helios#cause y'know#helios means the sun god#just really love that he still has his ties to hyperion no matter how much time passes#and hey... psst... fellow rhys/agawa babes#if yall got aus where kat is redeemed and leaves maliwan theres some real good potential#with both of them being marked by a corporation theyre no longer part of#and bonding a little over it#like if kat hates his tattoo and talks about lasering it off rhys can be like#'yo dawg i got a neck tat AND a whole ass sleeve. reminds me where i came from and that im more successful now. keep yours too bby'#okay maybe not like that but you get it#delete later

thinking about be cool scooby doo fred on this delightful evening. he's afraid of widths. he gets emotional over a drumkit. he knows how to apply eyeliner perfectly. he's a sleep deprived, paranoid, manic danger to himself and others. he becomes enemies with a goat. his shoulders are so tense that they can break a chair. he goes to jail twice. where on earth did he get the funds to give the mystery machine all those high-tech upgrades. he hired a guy to make his epiphanies look more dramatic. the exterior of his house is an affront to god. he cannot take care of himself to save his life. he is a middle aged dad stuck in the body of an eighteen year old. he has childhood trauma related to halloween. he accidentally parked his van on a space shuttle. he is consistently aggravated by daphne’s commitment to the bit. he really needs to let go of those tiny red shorts. he's a court jester. he represents the order to his criminal father's chaos. he has control issues stemming from this but tries to overcome them for the sake of the gang and always apologises when he goes too far and knows that even when they wind him up it isn't a threat because he loves and trusts them so much and they care about him in turn even before he fully opens up to them about his childhood and—
#i finished the show earlier this month and MAN do i have feelings about this guy#i was working on a piece based on the finale but had to put it on hold for dtiys stuff#i'll return to it when i can!!!#needless to say i adore this fred#i wasn't sure of him at first due to my attachment to the goofier freds of recent memory like wnsd and sdmi#but bcsd is an absolute joy in his own right and one of my favourite freds for sure#it's a nice change of pace to see him mostly in the neurotic straight man role#but the writers still give him silly moments aplently!! night of the upsetting shorts might be the funniest sd episode ever made#also his character development in learning to work through his control issues and trust the gang more is subtle yet rewarding#and the finale. i promise i cried a normal amount. at a show called BE COOL SCOOBY DOO#anyway goodnight coolsville ohio please watch bcsd it's unbelievably good#scooby doo#fred jones#fred scooby doo#be cool scooby doo#nem misc posts :]#scooby doo and nemmet too!

Lucy Gray and Coriolanus to celebrate the premiere of "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes".
#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#lucy gray baird#coriolanus snow#I might draw Lucy again in her rainbow dress#just to figure out how i want it to look#honestly i pictured the dress differently than its shown in the movie#not to say the movie dress is bad it's just more subtle than i thought it would be#I'm either picturing more like this poufy southern belle dress with lots of ruffles#or a traditional Mexican dress although that one would have more embroidery#but something between those two would work for her#from what I've seen i like her other outfits more but those look almost too stylish#the costumes in the thg movies worked better for me#but I'll watch the movie first maybe it works better in context#for coriolanus uniform i thought they could be based on ceremonial uniforms from the war#and they were recycled into school uniforms afterwards#tissue why i kept the red colour from the movies#anyway i doubt it will the last time I'll draw Lucy gray#Coriolanus though....nah 😅

puts bocchi under ur pillow
What's that I see?
My, my. How did such a cute little thing get in here?
#I'll take good care of her~#*ahem*#the stuff in caps is from me earlier when i first had the idea#she wanted that to be the text but didnt think i might want to.. talk about the drawing process. thats why this awkward transition is here#anyway.. when drawing characters simply i like to draw them like little miis or perhaps teru teru bōzu#thats why her skirt is longer and why she doesnt have arms#also.. i dont use colored pencils often. and while i do have quite a few this is the closest i could get to the Bocchi the Hot! Pink#(or should it be Bocchi the Hot Pink! ?)#anyway.. i also only wanted to use the Bocchi the Hot! Pink and her blue and yellow.. so no brown for her shoes.#to make the pink more striking#anyway i said i dont use colored pencils often.. you can tell. i made a mistake boldening the line work before colouring..#cus the pink mixed with the lead more than it would have otherwise.. making it darker#o well#also.. i added a little colour around the clover as a oneshot reference. pink yellow and cyan where the red green and blue are normally#its meant to be subtle#unfortunately it mixed with the lead too so it looks more sloppy than anything#anyway um#my art#communication#my actual posts lol#bocchi the rock!#bocchi#bocchi the rock#bocchi fanart#hitori gotou#i think this ask was meant to bug me to watch bocchi#its working in a roundabout way#also.. u can see my niko oneshot plush and focks *cough* i mean fox tunic plush in the background of the first image

Fridge Thought:
Maybe I'm wrong, but did Taxian-jun just "saved" Chu Fei (aka Chu Wanning 0.5) in another fucked up way besides taking the flower?
Chu Wanning isn't exactly human. He's basically Pinocchio. Once his core shattered, I imagined he should have died soon as implied by the flashback with his master when they separated
So... how come Chu Fei had lived for so long despite all the abuse imaginable he suffered through during Taxian-jun's reign? Not only that, he managed to summon his divine weapon TWICE to do something that requires a lot of spiritual energy (dimension travel, soul splitting, stopping zombie pupptes) before succumbing to death. How did Chu Fei manage to do all of those feats in his condition?
My only guess is because he was constantly forcefully "dual cultivated" by Taxian-jun who was actually a Butterfly Boned Beauty Feast. The sexual abuse inadvertedly strengthened Chu Fei long enough to help save another world.
It's so fucked up.
#erha spoilers#2ha spoilers#it's an absolute wtf fridge thought for me#it's horrific and tragic on multiple levels#i might be wrong tho but if this is the case#well.. nice foreshadowing i guess? but it's too subtle imo

Velvet: Hmm, I need to make sure that Eleanor isn't being a damn snitch for the Abbey. Fine, since I need to keep an eye on her at all times, there's no choice. I need to bathe with her. Magilou: Uh. You don't. I can probably- Velvet, already taking a towel and picking scented candles: No choice.
#tales of berseria#Velvet may be the first character who's attraction to MEN is the uncertain subtle thing#like you have things like /oh she might have had a crush on Artorious once upon a time/ and#/wow she sure likes looking at Rokuro training with his shirt off. wonder why that is./#but with girls the game is like /oh she and niko for sure nearly had a thing going on/#/Velvet sees no issue getting into a bath with Eleanor and/or Magilou/ and /YOU SWORE TO SERVE ME UNTIL YOU DIE/ which is. yeah.#which honestly yeah makes sense. Velvet the bi character who thinks /guys too?? maybe??? i dunno after revenge maybe i'll think about it/

day 1121
redesign of a frog bug fakemon i maade in 2019
#amphibian#frog#fakemon#described in alt text#i think im removing its fairy type idk if it fits#also only 2 pairs of legs 3 was just excessive#man i forgot i actually made a model of it i hope i still have the file#might be a fun project to pick back up#maybe model this version too and compare them in 3d!!!#the more i look at the old one the more that design grows on me but i wanted to do another attempt anyway#ignore the fact that the nincada inspiration is even less subtle here
