sometimes i see posts with 'siblings are so annoying' or 'having siblings sucks' and i'm just here like well yes they kinda are sometimes, but then who else would unconditionally do things like going through all my trashy genshin artifacts for a strongbox and plays my spiral abyss for me?????

official finish-this-sketch-how-you-want post idk what to call thisSAMPLE TEXT
hi! I miss drawing with people in a café and some folks mentioned they'd like to mess with my sketches themselves and that sounds cool so this is now a thing. if u play gartic phone this is basically the complement mode! but without the fucking ring noise that freaks you out right when you're getting into the flow of it
few things are 1/there's no hard deadline! take this at ur own pace if u do, but 2/I'll also be finishing this sketch and I estimate it to take around uhh 3 to 4 days? from the time this is posted. so if that's a structure u like then let's aim for something done in that timespan as well! and 3/if u finish ur piece and post it and want me to see it the best way to do that is to @ this blog! above all we go into this one determined to have fun and enjoy. I already bought u a matcha latte with oat milk sorry if u don't want that
here I got u today a sketch that's supposed to be Riz Gukgak (SY) (grey bg version and transparent version for ur ease of peruse)
remember to have fun & be urself & finish ur drink & see u in 4 or 5
#not art#technically#idk what to tag this... I was thinking sketchboom bc its like one sketch many outcomes yknow. but turns out thats already#a company or something like that. and then I thought something riffing on the complement game mode but I cant think of anything for that#can we call it Fuck With This Sketch. pros: it would be funny. cons: cant think of even a single one#sooomewhat in the realm of dtiys. more in the realm of process swap or whatever the drawing meme was that used to be a thing#where like u and two friends swap pieces inbetween every step#(which is somewhat assumptive of what the process is to be fair. I know people who run directly into a piece blocking out poses in colors#as their sketch. and then just render right on top of it. as an ink-for-lifer their process is alien to me and we are like different specie#I want this to be real freeform u can do anything to this sketch. its decently readable for being made by me I think#if there are more than one character it gets worse. or if its full body or a first sketch for a design. uve seen that basrar piece's sketch#and when I say u can do anything to this sketch I mean it. if ur thinking ''oh they didn't mention a bg or painting idk if I should--''#Stop. You Can Do What You Want Forever. seek ur truth seize ur pleasure and call me a bitch to my face#sky's the ceiling and the depths of hell is the bar. draw with me. that is what this is for#ok Im done lets go. hope u have fun with the sketch! yay! yayaya#edit: well now Ive commited to a stupid tag this is called#Fuck With My Sketch

[ID: a comic set in the parantural au, drawn in the parantural style, in which all the Hargreeves except Five are kids and Five is a teacher at their school.
Panel 1: Five's bedroom. He is seen sleeping next to Delores the mannequin. Klaus suddenly barges in through the window, shouting "Five, theres a spirit thing!" Five shouts back "WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE."
Panel 2: Allison climbs in after Klaus. She says, "We tried to text you first!"
Panel 3: Five blearily checks his phone. A notification reads "Sent 3 sec. ago. Child A: 5 THERES A THING"
Panel 4: Five rolls over and rubs his face, saying "Ugh, fine, I'll come help. Just get out!"
Panels 5 - 8: Five rolls out of bed, puts on a bathrobe, and teleports downstairs. He opens his front door to find Klaus and Allison looking up at him. They both say "Hi."
Panel 9: A white box labeled "Cool spirit fight scene that I'm not drawing"
Panel 10: Five looks suspiciously down at Allison, reaching over her head. He says, "Why are you still here." Allison aloofly says "No reason. Where's this woman you married without telling anyone?"
Panel 11: An image of Delores, who is actually a giant bug spirit, appears behind Five, who looks uncomfortable. He says, "Uh. None of your business."
Panel 12: They are revealed to be standing on Five's front porch, as Five opens the door. He says "If I give you hot chocolate will you leave," and Allison responds "Deal."
Panel 13: In Five's warmly lit kitchen, Allison delightedly drinks a mug of hot chocolate and Five pours himself coffee. End ID.]
sometimes you encounter a spirit problem you can't solve on your own and you break into your teacher's house about it. and then because in addition to being your teacher hes also a family friend you decide to interrogate him about why hes being so weird and secretive. Just normal things!
#tua#the umbrella academy#five hargreeves#allison hargreeves#klaus hargreeves#delores tua#dolores tua#pros of formatting a comic for tumblr: formatted for tumblr. easy to read#cons of formattting a comic for tumblr: oh my god this post is so much longer than i was expecting it to be#lest any of you think that im making five more normal in this au because his wife is real#worry not mannequin delores is still here#lifted the colors from paranatural this time to get the effects better#the colors the artist uses are just so different from the colors it would occur to me to use.

Getting REAL sick and tired of how omori TikTok views sunny.
Like, they view any scene of him being emotionally vulnerable, affectionate, or even just making an expression outside of just being completely neutral as “mischaracterised”. He’s not some cool, stoic, unwavering badass, he is a traumatised teenager. Don’t cry whenever he dares to give his friend a hug or (god forbid) be SAD about something??? Isn’t like. Part of the point of his development about him allowing himself to break down the repressive walls he built when he shut himself in? And being able to rely on his real friends instead of imaginary versions? And isn’t the game like. Meant to SHOW that he still cares about them despite isolating himself?
It’s really stupid to get mad at a character like that showing emotion or affection personally, especially since he’s not used to expressing it properly after so long. But that’s just me
#this isn’t even solely about the manga though it inspired me to make this post#any piece of official art in which sunny dares to show an emotion is shunned as ooc and I’m sick of it#he only appears ‘neutral’ throughout the GAME’s narrative because he HAS NO FACE SPRITES#because he’s the protagonist and has no actual dialogue#therefore he only makes a few expressions the entire game#obviously manga sunny is a good bit more expressive than canon sunny but#it’s REALLY not as bad as TikTok is making it out to be#I’m so TIRED of this character being viewed as nothing but a rock that ONLY has personality before and the game’s events#not allows to emote at all because ‘he didn’t do that in the game!!’#because he is restricted to ONE face sprite the entire time outside of the battles#omori is a DIFFERENT case and I can admit that manga omori is a good bit more expressive than he should be but#he’s still VERY stoic especially compared to sunny#which is what is should be#sunny should be quite closed off but in contrast to omori so much more human#that’s like. a massive part of their dynamic I feel#anyway this is such a long rant but god im so angry#I’ve seen one too many people cry ‘mischaracterised’ at a teenager expressing feelings#PLEASE stop it#also this is not to say you can’t critique manga sunny’s portrayal#because there are a few issues I believe#which are honestly really hard to dance around considering the factors I mentioned before#about having one expression most of the game and two lines of dialogue the entire time#and honestly? I think they did a pretty okay job!#he’s still a silent protagonist but seeing him emote so often helps us see into his mind and know how he’s thinking much easier#both portrayals have their pros and cons and ultimately I prefer the game’s portrayal#but that’s not to say this version of sunny is terrible and ooc like people have been saying#and that’s definitely not to say that any moment of emotional vulnerability he has is terrible and inaccurate#because that’s. just terrible and untrue#omori#omori sunny

about 30 hours into veilguard and while I have an essay worth of my problems w the game and how this is absolutely not ten year's worth of developing I do want to say what I do like. the maps (visuals/progression/exploration), combat, and the companions (only five of them. neve and taash annoy me and I would absolutely not recruit them if this game didn't force you to)... overall it's all right on its own but it's no dragon age game.
#i dont want to pass final judgement until i finish the main story but#trying so hard to not talk about everything i hate about this game#my main thing is how your choices do not matter. the three dialogue choices are essentially the same thing#absolutely no roleplay and no replay value aside from what. making a new character to look at and who to romance#which is fine i suppose but they should have said that this game is more linear instead of lying#dragon age 2 had more choices and that game was shit out in less than a year . embarrassing lol#i haven't really played origins properly so when i say this i mean the main four companions#but in every dragon age game ive liked all the companions. there were only very very few i didn't care for#but neve and taash bore me to death and i hate that you have to be nice to them especially when theyre being unfair#also i don't mean to be obnoxious when i say its no dragon age game . i genuinely felt like i was playing a ubisoft game#the dragon age identity has been stripped since the original writers were cut off thats just a fact#can i even say im disappointed when i never even had expectations to begin w#in the end the cons outweigh the pros and this game failed miserably to be a dragon age successor or whatever. its a complete sanitization#this franchise has always been a mess#dragon age veilguard#datv spoilers#bioware critical#six speaks

jedi survivor said "in this game jar'kai isn't a force ability but a stance! it allows you to have an unrelenting offense + better parries but your defense becomes weaker in response" and like. fellas. i literally do not use any other stance. i've fully unequipped the dual-blade because i simply do not care for it. it's me and my off-hand saber until i inevitably die to hubris
#liveblogging#liveblogging jedi survivor#me thinking about the lightsaber stances like#''well of course jar'kai has a lower defensive capability since it favors agility and speed afforded to greater range of motion#than the single blade which lets you withstand more forceful blows since you're using both hands. it also means that their strikes while#more frequent don't hit quite as hard as someone using a two-handed grip. that's why jar'kai specialists favor unrelenting assaults#to keep their opponents on the back foot and unable to utilize their higher strength output while they're fending off blows from all sides.#the stats they gave cal in the game reflect these pros and cons perfectly. what a wonderful marriage of lore and gameplay.''#LIKE. GIRL IT'S JUST BECAUSE THEY NEEDED 2 BALANCE THE STANCE IT'S NOT THAT DEEP <33

a big part of the queer online kid to queer online young adult progression for me was losing all interest in labels. not in a distasteful way!! just. losing interest .....
#ive got a big post in the drafts about how ive found it impossible to exist outside of the queer identity structure these days#and the pros and cons of that#and i havent published it because i fear it giving off some anti-labeling-for-anyone-ever aura. which is not the vibe !!!#but talking entirely personally. yeah nowadays i feel weird even calling myself genderqueer!! listing a pronoun preference.#advertising myself as a lesbian at the forefront of my general human identity#because i am those things and people can refer to me in those ways!! absolutely#but ultimately my queerness is a lot more fluid than i gave it credit for as a kid/teen#and i think it defines less of me than i thought it did#or at least its such an intrinsic part of me that i can afford to look at a lot of other aspects of what makes me me#and this is all just my personal very privileged experience!! this isnt universal queerhood 101. but that makes it interesting!!#i dont know im having a very coming of age moment this year and im thinking a lot about identity. this is my diary welcome internet

Okay but genuinely imagine what Rob "creator and director of beautiful hilarious heartwrenching video game dramedy Mythic Quest's A Dark Quiet Death and Backstory! and Quarantine and Everlight and etc." Mcelhenney's (animated!) Minecraft movie might've been, could've been, like idk what his specific vision was for it, but it's clear he loves video games, and getting to the emotional core of things that on the surface you wouldn't expect more from while also balancing the humourous aspects, and I know he truly genuinely once had a passion for what he does, like at this point it doesn't matter what his idea was, I just know it was better than this, no joke, and I don't even care that much about this, I'm just sick of the hollow Hollywood cash grabs that didn't have to be that way! Like, I know it's technically a "kids movie" and I don't caaare, but kids movies used to mean something, too, and to think they can't, to think they have to be stupid and cringey and just colourful (not even in a pleasing way!) and empty while waving bad cgi, cheap costuming, lack of plot, bad jokes and people like Jack Black around to keep anyone's attention is an insult to the game, to the dedicated players and to the current and next generation's intelligence. Don't let them win. Kids are so much smarter than anyone wants to give them credit for anymore, and modern audiences deserve better, yes, even from a "silly" blockbuster adaptation.
#minecraft#rob mcelhenney#sorry i fell into the parallel universe where rob got to make a movie and it was beautiful#though now i honestly wouldn't trust him to not hire ry*n r*ynolds so like pros and cons but way more pros than the current monstrosity#this i am sure of#also we might've been able to get real gl*nn h*werton in minecraft sunday imagine#ignore me lmao

Okay, so. No one needs to hear me out on this. I’m just saying. One day I’m going to crack and heave out all my biting commentary about Naruto gender and clan and lineage politics through the lens of an always-a-different-sex Kakashi fic or outline, and it’s just going to… exist… out there.
No one else gets changed, it’s just Kakashi, and it’s going to be a nightmare from start to finish that’s definitely also heavily tinged by my personal perspective on being agender aro ace.
#somehow I feel like this should get its own tag…#idk#I’ll figure it out later if the idea strongly persists#ANYWAY right out of the get go#you immediately have the shift in how Sakumo interacts with Kakashi#and especially the more toxic tinges of what ‘honor’ means for female shinobi#on top of Kakashi’s existing trauma around Sakumo’s death#PRO TO OFFSET THIS CON THOUGH#MORE KUSHINA#HI KUSHINA#I LOVE YOU KUSHINA#and fuck YES I’d heavily explore how this changes the team Minato dynamics#because from Kakashi’s side you have even more struggles over fitting ‘ideal expectations’ of being a shinobi#then contrasting with Rin’s perspective on the interplay of frontline vs support roles for female members#then poor Obito who you canNOT convince me was entirely properly socialized#and puts his foot in his mouth many times with Kakashi#not just due to what he absorbs from the Uchiha clan but also as the only male member on the team now#and then the whole friend killer thing still happens YIKES#ITS EVEN WORSE NOW#because Kakashi is growing into the teenage years without Minato or Kushina’a support anymore#and it’s time for gross lineage/heir politics that Kakashi escapes from by flinging herself into ANBU#even harder than canon maybe#clan raised vs civilian raised gender morality in the context of shinobi life FIGHT

been looking back at some older hc posts & i'm proooobably gonna update some things here . again . sorry , i'm currently this :
#// the pros of writing niche characters is that no one really knows what you're talking about so it's free real-estate babyyyy#// the cons: nobody tells me when IM WRONG-#// im exaggerating of course it's just silly xD#// & since adding a default v i'm inclined to let the film!v just kinda.... fall back to not straying TOO far from the og script?#// i mean w/ eisworld taking a more 'magic' feel rather than a warning against modernity's hubris dictatorship & colonialism#// yea it's not as deep but we have other verses for that ^^#// variety is fun!!#// the movie is not my favorite iteration of the franchise (i made that obvious huh? ^^;) but it does have some neat points!!#🌙) ⋆｡°✩ooc .

interesting cultures, characters, and use of a singular pronoun (she)
#Ancillary Justice#imperial radch#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#this is a p terrible synopsis but like. who hasn’t heard of these books#anyway: i finally read them!!! 10 years after reading the first 5 chapters lmao#did take me a bit to get into it#but once i got into it; a lot less complex than i expected it to be? or like. smaller scale. which I enjoyed.#also. it’s funny? not like all the time but more so than i was expecting#(i mean I wasn’t expecting or not expecting anything in particular)#love a grumpy not-friendship (as it is in the first book especially)#audiobook cons: skips the first two pages of every other chapter. pros: singing! in a way that actually works#(i only listened to the audio of book 1 bc the libby wait times are SO LONG for the others)#translator zeiat a standout in book 3. obsessed with her#i feel like i don;t have many concrete thoughts other than yea its good#anyway i will read the other 2 books at some point also

Pros of cutting ur hair super short:
The speediest showers AND using less shampoo
Discover new facts about urself - apparently I have a little strawberry birthmark on the back of my neck near my hairline I never knew about lol and I have a little patch of lighter hair
More likely to be correctly gendered
Shockingly easy to style, like WAY easier than the discouragers implied and takes like. a whole maybe two minutes max of my day. honestly that’s a generous max
Good texture feel when u rub the shortest bits and feel like a grizzly itching on a tree when u rub the back of ur head on the couch
Less (noticeable?) shedding
Cooler in the very hot weather
Tits look huge
Cats do not try to grab hair assuming it is a toy
Realize u are transforming into ur father
Running hands through the front and feeling like an extra in Grease B)
Barbershops charge like. way less honestly. this feels incredibly dumb bc my barber was incredibly attentive and it felt way more involved than my old hair cuts wtf
New hair place has a bunch of pride flags hanging everywhere to look at and it’s got the best and safest vibe of any place I’ve ever had my hair cut tbh
Cons of cutting ur hair super short:
Tits look huge
Cats do not try to grab hair assuming it is a toy
Realize u are transforming into ur father
Probability of getting sunburn on ur neck increases
Increased annoyance that ur hair is a factor in being correctly gendered
May have to purchase a hat or ear muffs for winter bc cold ears
???
No other downsides why didn’t I do this years ago
#hair journey#hair#half the cons are also pros depending on the mood tbh#and there are more pros than cons#the long hairs from shedding …#but yeah I think the main con for me is like. the annoyance that being gendered correctly was a factor at all#like my gender is more respectable the more I conform to a stereotype#when non-binary folks can have whatever hair and bodies they goddamn like#so yeah there’s a tiny part of me that feels like I took the easy way or something and feels bad#but that is overshadowed by most of the other pros at least#shoutout to the fuckin birth mark I never knew I had !!

out of curiosity, how did you learn korean in 2023? im trying to learn it too rn
sorry for the late reply ! this site is mostly what i used since it's easier to start with one lesson to the next for me atleast. i also recommend watching Korean with Miss Vicky/빅키샘 한국어 on youtube but there are also other good Korean language learning channels with free resources and all :J Miss Vicky's videos are beginner-friendly as she breaks down and explains very well in detail the structure of korean sentences and uses real-life examples alongside. tips i'd give is to avoid relying on duolingo since it doesn't really have the same effect as actually learning the language with respect in its culture and native people. try exploring korean songs that aren't kpop and listening to real conversations that aren't scripted. remember to keep an open-mind and don't be afraid to ask a native speaker for help. wishing u the best of luck on your language learning o7
#there's pros and cons when it comes to english speakers#the pros is that there's already a handful of borrowed english words spoken in everyday life#but the cons are overall the pronunciations + order and relationship of certain words in a sentence. i mostly translate korean into tagalog#and vice versa because my native language has more flexibility in sentence structure than english + helps me better understand it personally

something to be said abt a foster pleading for anyone to adopt their extremely sweet and playful disabled tabby cat for over a year with absolute Crickets in response vs us making one post at 8pm with a frankly very poorly taken photo of a cute no-personality fluffy white kitten we have (who's not even been here 3 days!) and we have 45 comments within the hour and three of our adoption people with their phones blowing up
#i say something to be said but its been said before#its so weird how much value people put into the look of an animal vs its personality#look i love this kitten as much as the next guy but like. i dont know her#shes not got much going on and the only thing that sets her apart is her looks#and i know people will be throwing themselves at us to adopt her#but when we respond to the 15th app we got for her with 'hey you werent first but heres other options'#i already know theyll back out bc they couldnt get the shocking beautiful kitten they wantef#because it happens all. the. time.#we had a tripod siamese thing a few months ago and she got an application the night she was posted#and about 7 others too before we took her photo down#and the first person in line took her not necessarily bc she was perfect#but because she was good and wow what a beautiful cat everyone will be amazed by her!#whereas if they were there and met a tabby wjth the Same Exact Personality#and pros and cons#they wouldve moved on bc its just a tabby and theres no motivation to work with the animal#because it doesnt look pretty or unique#its been said a thousand times over by people way more articulate than me#but its so frustrating to watch it happen over and over again#we have mini aussie pups (aka longhaired chihuahuas with mearle color) who had adopters ready before they were even fixed#but when the millionth sweet baby pitbull puppy comes through theres no response#or when a senior fucked up chow chow is found as a stray people are biting at the bit to be approved to adopt it#but when those same people are asked if they can take in a young farm dog from a hoarding situation#they ghost us#shelter posting
