#my mind is complicated

I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"
Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.
............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.
#I finished guards guards just yesterday and I forgot that vimes and wonse were set up to be mirror images#both boys from the shades of very different natures; who made good (ish) in wildly different ways#also it's interesting reading this books from an adult perspective; my mind isn't blown that these books exist#anymore; plus I've read so many good books since#and they're not perfectly constructed novels! especially these early books;#there are plenty of spots where I can feel the narrative get thin; where there's more handwaving than I remember#but each book IS better and tighter; the jokes are funnier and the irony sharpens; the footnotes are better utilized#the characters are getting more interesting and complicated as opposed to set-ups for jokes.#it's an illustration of someone getting better at their chosen field and that in itself is more impressive than I was anticipating.#discworld

Who fw my admin designs
Individual refs + notes under the cut!!
Here they are!! I wanted to give them all animal features for funsies
Romeo is a goat purely because of his goatee lmao. He's also the only one with animal legs, I like to think he gave himself them to make himself taller and he's actually the shortest. If you're seeing this post again and wondering if something changed about him I decided to give him yellow trims LMAO
Fred is a mooshroom, for reasons that are probably obvious. I don't have much to say about him other than everytime I look at his starry eyes so filled with kindness my heart shatters into a million pieces
Xara is a bird, maybe a feathered dragon? Idk I knew I wanted to give her an elytra and other End things but couldn't quite lock in on the dragon vibes. Wanted to give her horns but it didn't work with her hair </3
#mcsm#minecraft story mode#artists on tumblr#mcsm fanart#mcsm fred#mcsm romeo#mcsm xara#mcsm admins#they make me so upset i want to explode them all with my mind#except you fred#ill probably regret making them so complicated next time i decide to animate but thats future me's problem

"I'm sorry, Nya… I have to do this"
role swap au bc im evil
Isn't it funny how this would be the third time jay faces evil nya btw
#My inspiration was Jay “I can't dodge Evil Nya so I'm gonna yeeted her” Walker in s6#I didn't make this with the dad jay au in mind. But if you're curious if kaida is here too#Let's just say yes. But she and nya don't really have a mother-daughter dynamic#And they're not really that close as a family#and their relationship is a bit more complicated since nya instinctively takes on the older sister role like with lloyd#And kaida wants to be seen as an equal and is more emotionally closed off and more distrustful#And even more rebellious#ninjago au#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago nya#nya ninjago#jay walker#ninjago jay#jay ninjago#ninjago fanart#ninjago spoilers

the west wing is the best show ever because you wouldn’t expect to come out of a hard-hitting, critically acclaimed political drama with the ultimate found family trope, right? and yet the president is a complete nerd, his wife is scary and the top in their relationship, the president and his chief of staff are Dad 1 and Dad 2, the deputy chief of staff and his assistant are in a years-long emotional affair and everyone knows it but them, the communications director is grumpy as hell and you love him so much, the press secretary is tall, hot and awesome, the deputy communications officer is the gay son and the president’s aide is the human personification of a pleasure to have in class. and they’re all family and love each other very much :)
#I feel like my descriptions of everyone (esp charlie and leo) have done them an injustice#but that’s what’s so great about them is that they’re all complicated and multi faceted characters!! :D#I love you the west wing you’ve been on my mind so much lately#the west wing

[ID: Trigun fanart of the core four sitting together in a cozy room. Wolfwood seems to be telling a story with a smile. Milly has a ponytail and is laughing as Vash and Milly, both visibly drunk, lean against her. Vash is smiling softly and listening to Wolfwood, and Meryl is asleep and drooling. To the side, a cat is using the Punisher as a scratching post. End ID] - described by @princess-of-purple-prose

I don’t know if it’s because people aren’t familiar with the comics or if it’s just because simplifying Jason’s relationship with his bio dad as “Willis is a cartoonishly stereotypical low income abusive dad whom Jason hates and feels nothing for” is more conducive to batfam hurt/comfort whump fic but the fact that Jason sought out vengeance for his dad’s death as Robin seems to get entirely memory holed out of fanon. You don’t seek out revenge for someone you don’t love. Like the fact that Willis resorted to working as a hired henchman to support his family should have huge implications on how Jason views crime, “criminals”, and how he operates as both Robin and Red Hood. Like that is such a deliciously fascinating concept and you would think that fanon would be interested in exploring this in a way that canon doesn’t and yet…
#Canon lowkey does a better job at this than fanon in general like if there’s one thing you can give rhato credit for it’s that#Rotating the Todds in my mind dying on the Jason has complicated feelings about but ultimately loves his dad hill#Jason Todd#dc

been messing around with my drawing process so i decided to do a bunch of cephalopod group shots to get a bit more confident with it
[IMG ID: Image 1 is a group drawing of Shiver, Big Man, Frye, Callie, and Marie from Splatoon. The first four are posing for a photo with Marie in the back. They are in Alterna with the buildings and the hole in the sky visible in the back.
Image 2 is a group drawing of Agents 3, 4, and 8 in casual wear in an apartment all posing for a selfie. Various objects are littered in the background with a backpack, skateboard, and part of a switch being present by 8.
Image 3 is a a drawing of Pearl and Marina dressed in casual wear taking a selfie at night. /END ID]

my favorite dumb personal headcanon is that finn tidestrider and specifically the elder triton have beef. none of the elders like him very much-- he's one of the most intelligent and widely recognized/respected names in the entire undersea, and he:
isn't religious in any way, shape, or form (alongside the rest of his family)
never married, but had a son later in life, that many people believe was the result of some kind of affair (of course, nothing was ever PROVEN)
had a blatant disregard for not only societal norms, but all the supposed "dangers" life outside of the capital had-- and frequently poked holes in their logic, especially in regards to the oversea
AND finn and his bastard son are the grandfather and father of the fucking chosen one. because of course they are. so yeah. the elders don't like him. but finn and the elder triton, for whatever fucking reason, have BEEF. why? no one knows. they hate finn's autistic swag.
#in my mind the elders and the tidestriders have a very. complicated. relationship.#they were so excited about the chosen one being born#and then they heard the surname “tidestrider” and decided they would hate that child forever#they wouldve waited until gill was older than FIVE to start his training#but they didnt want him picking ANY disobedience up from Some People in his family#jrwi riptide#jrwi headcanon#finn tidestrider#jrwi finn

SAID HE LIKES CRAZY GIRLS,
BUT HE HATES WHEN I ACT CRAZY,
IT TAKES TWO TO TOXIC!
FINALLY!!! Finished these pics of jinx I’ve been working on!!!!! HOLY SHIT, these took so long…. But finally… they’re done… pls enjoy this art of my beautiful princess w a disorder. Featuring alternate colors for the big pic and also a closeup! Cuz I rlly like how both the lines and coloring on her face turned out… like the pink gradients w her eye… her deer in headlights expression,, like uve just startled a raccoon digging thru ur trashcan and r two seconds away from getting mauled.. m proud of it!
#arcane#league of legends#jinx#jinx arcane#arcane jinx#doodles#hate and love how hardcore I relate to jinx…#little sisters w dependency issues.. + a whole lot of other issues#anyway the ‘he’ in the ‘crazy girl’ lyrics is in my mind referring to both vi and silco lol#I’m sORRY! I keep seeing ppl hardcore pitting these 2 bad bitches against each other#and it’s like… silco is objectively. morally worse than vi.. vi is not like. a ruthless crime lord#vi IS 100% trying her best and loves her sister. but she still screwed up w jinx#and silco ALSO truly loves jinx. but also screwed up by fucking. trauma bonding w her ghgh-#like.. silco is too close. he’s like. yes go apeshit jinx I support and love you and understand u no matter what fucked up shit u do.#were the same. and that’s beautiful!!! I love how supportive he is…#but its like.. silcos too close. he just became a new person for jinx to glomp onto and base her self esteem around after vi left#and he doesn’t manipulate that on purpose but. he DOES effect that girls mental state. cuz he needs her too#meanwhile vi is too far away… she thinks she knows who jinx is. but jinx has changed… time marches forward. she’s not that little girl#anymore#and nOW! after the finale jinx has NOBODY TO BE CODEPENDENT W..#her mental state has always been so tied up in how the ppl she puts on pedestals view her#and now there’s no pedestal anymore. she knocked down the statues. she’s alone…#it’s interesting….#anyway I’m not trying to say vi is as bad as silco at ALL. just that she’s an equally important building block in jinx’s mind#that has made her into the fucked up lil person she is today. and I think that’s neat.#lol anyway! I’m hyped for season 2….#aLSO GOD DAMN THIS GIRLS OUTFIT IS COMPLICATED. WHY DO U GOT SO MANY BITS N BOBS JINX??? I mean I get it accessories rock.#but u take so much time to draw ghfhg- require so much brainpower#aLSO ADDENDUM. while silco is objectively morally worse than vi his relationship w jinx is genuinely. like. makes me emotional ghgh-#its not perfect. or healthy. but… it’s. the both of them. being seen. and accepted. and loved and understood.. and I love that shit.

DP x DC Prompt #91
Jason has been told time and time again by so many that he’s tainted. He’s no longer a hero. He’ll never be a hero again. He’s accepted it. But how is he supposed to turn down a clearly terrified teen who has traveled across the country, stating Jason is the only one who can help his friend.
#finemeal prompt#dp x dc#jason todd#tucker foley#danny fenton#tucker tracks down red hood to help danny out#and red hood is an anti-hero#but anti-hero still has hero in it#jason todd would help a child#teenager's aren't children#but also they sorta are#listen it's complicated#they're all minors#and jason would help them#change my mind#you can't
