playing with your hair when you have cloud hair
#Dorian storm#critical role#cr3#pentapoda drew this#bells hells#floaty hair is a powerful drawing motivator for me#in my head this is a thing that comes and goes depending on how elemental-y he's being#and becomes more of a thing as he levels#very appropriate for an heir to the silken squall which is the only thing about it that annoys Dorian#on the other hand - things dorian IS okay with: orym's eyes doing the thing cats do when they see a wiggling cat toy

I spent way too much time on this terrible thing
#bugbo#bugbo gradient joe#bugbo fanart#tally hall#marvins marvelous mechanical museum#someones probably already made this#why does my brain not come up with ideas and motivation for actual art but for stuff like this it just goes all in

you know i got halfway through this before realizing i probably subconsciously ripped the concept from an old tumblr post sorry
#and then keith would say something rude and they would get into an argument for 3 hours#klance#vld#voltron#art#my art#ok guys we're in the tags time for my character debrief that no one asked for or cares about#i imagine this as like. far enough into their friendship that lance doesnt IMMEDIATELY come to blows#but keith feels the immediate need to make his emotional constipation everyones problem. and instigates a fight.#obviously that fucker would have to be on his actual deathbed in order to speak from tjhe heart#BUT if he somehow felt the motivation to fess up before then. it would be. such. an ordeal.#lance would be scratching his head like. why is keith insulting me out of nowhere 3982 times this week. i thought we were doing better#little does he know every time is just a try and fail on keiths part#because he needs an emotional miralax.#bless his heart.#if youre writing keith and he isnt dragged kicking screaming and dyiing into his feelings#are you even writing keith?#anyway this one goes out to katie klanced#hopefully you approve

(redraw of this panel ↓)
#enartchive#bungou stray dogs#nakahara chuuya#my motivation to draw fr comes and goes#like I tried redrawing this fifteen panel when it came out#but for some reason i could NOTTT get the mouth right#and it looked so off and ugly#and then yesterday when I was about to sleep I had the strongest urge to doodle#so I deleted what I previously drew and just started from scratch#it really depends on the day fr#anyways#CATBOY CHUUYA

Had a seismic moment today where I completely reframed my outlook on ambition & started looking at it (in the context of seeing it in other people) as admirable rather than opportunistic to a fault
#To be clear ppl who only work to serve themselves exist & they’re never fun#But as a pre med student surrounded by other ambitious pre meds it’s like actually motivating to see ppl wanna make a name for themselves#And be resourceful#I think the issue only comes in when people get frugal ab their resources and gatekeep them which is like#Very rampant in pre med culture unfortunately#But not w my friends & I love that#Like we’re all very tunnel visioned on what we wanna do but we will share resources w each other always#And no question goes unanswered#We r genuinely happy to be of service to one another#This also made me think ab how I frame ambition in men vs how I do in women#But now I’m very careful about when I label ambition “annoying” like it actually is just inspiring#Esp when exhibited by generous ppl who wanna see u succeed too

there's this common misconception that kagakuro is a love at first sight ship, but it's actually a "kuroko was using kagami to get back at the generation of miracles, but he didn't expect to fall in love with kagami, so he finally admits to his wrongdoing under the pale moonlight, but kagami doesn't care because he's fallen in love with kuroko too" ship
#meanwhile kagami goes from 'heh. this guy sucks at basketball' to 'i physically cannot comprehend life without him'#like this is a slow burnnnn#i think the misconception is because kuroko comes on so strong in ep 1 when he says 'i'll make you no1 in japan'#but kuroko wasn't actually being sincere. he was putting on airs to get kagami motivated enough to want to win against the kisekis#just as bad as he does#it's your classic 'i want to show my ex/my old friend group' just how happy i am without them#but kuroko didnt expect to ACTUALLY be this happy#he didnt think he'd fall in love (with basketball) again#when aomine says 'your light is too dim' there is some truth to it because in his eyes kuroko 'downgraded' by picking a no-name school#and a no-name guy to be his new boyf—partner. he sees through kuroko's desperation instantly#but the beauty of kagakuro is that over time something fake became something real because they are both so perfectly made for each other#AHHHHHHGHHHHHHHH#kagakuro

so agatha didnt let alice do that curse protection spell on her, right? she was just like keep playing. do you think thats bc she was like 'i dont know what Deaths Knife is gonna do specifically but i doubt im ever gonna be rid of her if i get fucking enchanted with it'
#im still laughing about the way rio looks when alice borrows her knife#like Sure okay yeah use my interdimensional soul reaping knife or whatever that probably wont have any unforeseen consequences#wait that knife is for travelling right?#thats how she moves around between dimensions or the underworld or wherever she goes to this physical plane?#but it also just cuts#do you think it's the only weapon she can like physically use?#bc when she fights agatha it's like wind roots glass from the window#i wonder if death - bc shes not allowed to kill - can not Hold weapons#she can maim and torture evidently but#idk maybe it's a reach. if youve got Knife. Hands. Magic. and Indirectly then youve basically got all the options anyone gets right#so maybe she cant shoot someone or axe murder someone but really how much of a limitation is that#maybe you run into a doctor-like question of weapon use and memetic hygiene again. or a questoin adjacent#but it depends on the Rules. what kind thye are where they come from and the motivation for circumventing them#i dont think rio's balancing rules are laid out by some authority#they are descriptive rules at the core and mostly in practice i think#turn prescriptive a little with rio's faith. she clearly believes in something. something that Must Be or is good to be#and at that point you become prescriptive#i wonder if the knife was always a knife#i wonder where or how she got it#i wonder if the act of death itself is the knife#separating the Who Still Are from the Who Arent Anymore#rio as the embodiment of death. the knife as the embodiment of loss

✦ OC Questionnaire Tag 3 ✦
Thanks for the tag, @illarian-rambling!
Characters from Sun and Shadow: Freya, Crow, and Valyarus Characters from the Arcane Rifts: Gene, Tazin, and Mislav Featuring tAR's children at ages 15, 17, and 17! (Aka mid book 2.)
Questions: - Do you have a tell when you're lying? - What other media genre would you do the worst in? - Are you confident in yourself? from @the-letterbox-archives
Do you have a tell when you're lying?
Freya: Um... not that I know of? I'm not really in the habit of lying? (*remembers that she does, in fact, lie a lot... but mostly through omission of the truth!*) Haha... yeah! ... ugh, okay, um. If I had to guess... (*shifts uncomfortably in place*) it would probably be that I struggle in what to say? Though I kinda do that anyway? Ugh, I don't really know. (A/N: the easiest sign to tell that she's "lying" is that she avoids the subject completely. She'll change the subject or "get distracted". She also fidgets more, but that's something she does a lot anyways because she's awkward.)
Crow: Of course not! I don't lie anyway, so how would I find out? 😉🥰 (psst... Crow...) What? (You're supposed to basically be under truth serum for these Questionnaire posts...) Okay. And? 😘 (So you're telling me that you, a detective, have never told a lie once?) ... (See the issue there?) Nope! 😄 (A/N: WHELP! Uncooperative Crow understandably won't tell you, so I will. They're a very good liar, so it's hard to tell when they do. The best indicator is that they'll stumble slightly in their speech when almost saying something "they shouldn't" or they'll hesitate while trying to come up with a lie. The falters are always subtle though.)
Valyarus: (*snorts*) I would think not. Besides, I'm not in the habit of lying. There's too much magic that can force you into Truth-telling to be able to rely on it--no, best is operating in half-truths and implication. The best method of deception is allowing the one you wish to deceive to come up with the answers for themself. For example... (*slowly smirks, quirking an eyebrow*) I never said I don't lie just now... did I? (A/N: ahhh, our beloved douchebag faerie living up to his species's reputation. In other words: he's a fantastic "liar".)
Gene: I... don't know. I'd... like to think not. Maybe... maybe that I... (*takes a slow, deep breath, collecting himself*) ... I probably act more confident when I lie. I... I'm not confident. And probably don't... stutter as much. Or hesitate... So, speaking patterns? They--they change, I mean. My speaking patterns. When I lie.
Tazin: (*snarls*) I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, you got me? I--I-- (*struggling to lie because of the whole "these questions are answered under basically-truth serum" thing*) FINE! I don't fucking lie because I can't, okay? I avoid the subject! Or I just--I don't know, I just fucking lie??? How am I supposed to fucking know if I have a "tell"??? Don't you think I'd fucking fix it if I knew??? (A/N: he gets avoidant of the subject and/or highly aggressive to dissuade the asker from continuing at the moment... or generally asking again.)
Mislav: Um... this is a weird question?... I guess I don't really--(*remembers he lies literally all the time*)--lie... (*lets out a slow, pained sigh, running his hands back through his hair in frustration*) I don't know? I just--try my best to bullshit it? Try to make people feel better, or avoid giving them the information they want? I don't know??? (A/N: best indication is that he answers too quickly. He usually practices/rehearses his lies before it comes time to actually tell them. Otherwise (if he didn't expect to have to lie/doesn't have one prepared), he freezes up, stutters, and smiles/jokes too much as he tries "appeasing" or distracting the questioner.)
What other media genre would you do the worst in?
(we're going to be implanting Forbidden Knowledge of our Real World genres and whatnot for them to be able to best answer this!)
Freya: The horror genre. (*shudders*) I cannot deal with scary stuff, okay? I think I would be the first to die. I'd scream, or cry, and break down--probably try hitting the monster or whatever over the head with a chair when it turns the corner and, well... that never goes well in those sorts of things, does it?
Crow: Fairy tales. I'd either be the "lesson"--"don't do this or look what happens to you! You'll become Crow!"--or I'd be whatever the horrifying monster or villain is. I mean... (*laughs awkwardly, looking away and rubbing their shoulder feathers*) when you're me... you get used to knowing you're what's wrong with the world. (*beat. They realize what they've just said--*) I mean, romance. I'd probably annoy my love interest to death. 😎
Valyarus: (*fake gags, then with disgust:*) Romance. My only "biological" child was through magic, and I would not step foot near anyone with that sort of intention. I don't understand how others do. Much less why my daughter is so interested in Freya. They just met! (note: he's aroace and is equally disgusted with romance and sex. Also, yes, I know that's not how all aroace people are. I have plenty of other characters everywhere else in the spectrum. This is just where Valyarus is.)
Gene: Um... probably romance. I...'m not interested in it... not really. Be-besides with Mislav, I mean... and I... I don't even know why he likes me? 😅😓 ... people think I'm creepy. They don't say it--not to my face--but I know they think it. And I... I struggle to talk with people a lot. I try to say one thing, but they think I mean another?... I don't understand why. It's hard. And I--... I don't think I'd do well in that kind of story.
Tazin: The kinda thing where I'd have to teach. I don't have that kind of fucking patience, are you fucking kidding me? I think I'd explode on them. Maybe even literally. (*He pauses, considering it... and grins darkly*) Actually, wait--I take it back. I want to try. (I want to tag in and say traditional horror/thriller. I think the degree to which he'd freak out or curse out the monster would be comical and/or break the immersion, haha.)
Mislav: I would not be able to participate in a talk show or be in the news. A talk show? (*scoff*) Regardless of the subject, it wouldn't take long for me to be driven mad by their endless talking and pretending they know everything. The news? Even worse. I think I'd snap their mic in half. And only because I'd be struggling not to snap other things. <.< (read: necks, limbs, etc.)
Are you confident in yourself?
Freya: Ha... no, not really. I act like I am, but... y'know, it's just that--an act.
Crow: What's not to be confident about? I'm the greatest, I've never made a mistake in my life, and every decision I make is the best one I possibly can! 😘
Valyarus: (*poised on a grand chair; sipping tea elegantly with one hand while the other hangs over the side of the armrest. A nail file magically hangs in the air and is filing his nails while he sips tea*) Hm? What did you say? Oh. (*chuckles*) Of course I'm confident in myself. My abilities, my character, my decisions--everything. 😉💅
Gene: Depends what you mean by "myself"... (*goes quiet, looks away, and debates*) ... I... I try my best to make the right decisions. The best ones... that I possibly can. I--as hard as it is to not question them, it's--it's not good to worry about past decisions. I do my best, and that's--that's all I can do. So... (*takes a deep breath, collecting his thoughts*) I'm not confident, but I try to be.
Tazin: (*snarls*) Of course I'm confident. I've gotten this far, haven't I? (*and slowly starting to smirk instead--*) I mean, look at me. (*leans back and gestures at himself with both hands*) I used to live on the streets with Gene. Now I have a girlfriend. People used to be terrified at my name--and they still would be if I didn't have to stop with the whole "Svarog" thing. (*oops, snarls again and leans in close; threateningly*) Look, I don't care what anyone else says, but Gene wasn't the only reason we were successful! He wouldn't have gotten anywhere without my strength, got it!?!? (Is actually less confident than he thinks he is--overcompensates for that by having convinced himself that he's the greatest. Hm... wonder if that fits the diagnosis criteria for anything?)
Mislav: Ha... not at all. (*swallows and looks down at his hands, fighting back tears*) I... one of these days, this curse is going to take over me. Will I even know when it does? Or will it be slow enough that I never even recognize that I've changed? I... (*looks back up at asker*) I worry, one of these days, I'll only know it when I've done something I can't come back from...

#Plot twist: Valyarus is the secret villain of SaS and his ENTIRE motivation is just to get Freya away from his daughter. 🤣🤣🤣#Soren/Daleira brought up the idea of the engagement to him while he wasn't paying attention#so he was just all like “oh yeah sure hun. Whatever would make you happy dear” to Daleira. 🤣#He comes to find out he agreed to an engagement#freaks out and INSTANTLY goes into “how tf do I fix this” mode.#Decides the absolute BEST way to do it is blow up several parts of his own goddamn estate and blame it on Freya#lucky him she's actually brand new to the idea that she has fire magic and doesn't know how to control it so it ACTUALLY worked#man's just sitting over there#stunned#“I really didn't expect this to work out this well...”#for legal reasons this is a joke#I mean for one the attack on Valyarus's place is far from the only one that happens#and I mean the man's sus but why would he frame his own daughter's fiancée after he AGREED to it? She literally crossed a whole ocean.#Would be crazy if that were true though am I right?#Also love me my Mislav angst; poor boy will never escape from it#the feychild tag games#the feychild speaks in tags!#sun and shadow novel#the arcane rifts#freya ula#crow the cursed#valyarus fenastra#gene the amnesiac#tazin the theater kid#mislav the berserker#oc questionnaire#ace characters#aro characters#aroace character#autistic oc

You know I'm still thinking about deviantART's infamous switch from its classic layout to the 'Eclipse' mode (aka their cheap attempt at becoming ArtStation 2) and how much it fucked up the website.
Literally the only reason I was still active there at the time was thanks to the website's very active ARPG scene, and with the switch all the systems that made them work smoothly got ruined - pushing some ARPG groups to move to wobbly websites trying to offer what was lost, some groups to try and do with the new dA layout with difficulty, and causing the demise of many more.
I don't know how the website is these days and if it managed to regain a little of its balance from ere but damn. They sure shot themselves in the foot back then. And shot their users also.
What's with websites trying to be other websites and losing themselves in the process over and over again
#deviantart#ik this feels like its coming out of nowhere but#ive been thinking about my ARPG days again and how fun it was#and how motivating and creatively satisfying#the experience point system for each new drawing did wonders for my adhd brain too. numbers going up goes brr#serotonin factory#i made friends. i made stories. it was wonderful#it also 'forced' me to draw backgrounds to get more points. motivated me to push myself#idk. what a loss man. i still think about it
