i’m watching the best film trilogy ever created ☺️ 💅

[trustymikh]

went through Giovanni's quotes the other day and he has a surprising amount of 'adults know better'\'you are just a kid and therefore stupid' lines, which made me think that he is somewhat sensitive about his age. Not that he misses being young, rather he feels insecure about clear signs of aging. Red called him 'old' once or something and he never recovered.

anyway Gio dyes his hair, thank you for coming to my ted talk

It's Tolkien's birthday! Or it was when I made this. Happy birthday to my favorite author

my concept of donut is like, he should be on a 1960s white america boyscouts poster but like, goofy about it. do you get what i mean.

like to me donut was basically cooked up in a lab to be a parody of the Good Ol’ Boy Back When Boys Were Real Boys who played outside all day with friends smacking each other with sticks playing space cowboys and aliens, rubbing dirt in all his cuts and knowing big boys repress all their emotions except Boisterousness, always says his yes maams and yes sirs and never questions authority (but also, y’know, boys will be boys so of course they’re up to Mischief when unsupervised, a bit of chaotic and violent rule-breaking fun is all fine and good as long as they’re respectful to authority and just accept their punishment with an “awwww, man! Shucks!” in the end).

a parody because it plays up how someone genuinely like that probably must be pretty stupid/oblivious/gullible to be so pliable to authority and follow dumb norms of “what is a nice polite young man supposed to act like” without any thought into “wait, what makes this something it’s important or nice to do? are there perhaps other things i could focus on doing that would actually be more important or nice to do? do i actually get or care what being nice and doing good is, or do i just like doing whatever i want without having to think about Ethics and then having a very easy set of rules of How To Be Nice to follow”.

and also a parody because he also is like, extremely gay, and he literally just does what he wants and acts how he wants and it’s simultaneously ^that whole Good Ol’ Boy thing and the most flamboyant stereotypically gay mannerisms and hobbies you’ve seen in your life. and he just fully lacks the interest in doing any reflection that would lead him to conclude anyone might see these as rather contradictory or subverting expectations. he’s exposed both to norms of good behaviour coming from conservative places and from progressive places and doesn’t really think about these perhaps being conflicting ethos, he just grabs this random patchwork of “hey this is something someone told me yayyyy :)”. he can enthusiastically follow the letter of many laws rooted in heteronormativity and toxic masculinity and also the letter of laws coming from Progressive Ideals but he fully does not give a shit to consider whether there might be a bigger spirit to any of those laws. dumbitchitis got him immune to internalized homophobia (no he isn’t actually. but he is quite certain that just Not Thinking About It means any negative emotions don’t exist. this is a foundational truth to donut’s understanding of the universe)

what i’m saying is donut should simultaneously give the impression of walking straight off a cheery WWI Join The Troops poster or 1960s boy scouts ad, but also of being absolutely A Pansy of the same era, but also of being the kind of modern queer who says “be gay do crime” not because they’ve given two seconds of thought to prison abolition but because they find doing crime really fun

I've started playing Potion Permit, and so far it's one of my favorite games I've messed around with, but the most big brained move the devs made was giving you a dog on day 1, and then making that dog able to track NPCs and lead you directly to them no matter where they are in the town.

me, just going about my day

my brain: it is possible that one of the last things crepus ragnvindr saw before he died was his younger son smiling in strange relief from the distance, unmoving and with no words escaping him.

Sometimes I look back at the early designs for characters I make, and I just remembered like. How did Seth end up like this.

Like when I first designed him, I wanted to make “Six. But human.” And made him look at least similar to my design for Six at the time. But now he. Shares VERY little resemblance to Six at all like.

How did this happen.

Have you thought about creating other Oc or is that enough for you for now? And which of the existing ones is your favorite, which is closer to your heart?

I mentioned it once before but I only really create OCs if it’s something I really really want to see that I know will never happen, or if there’s a story that could be told (even if the the latter happens privately). Or in the case of a “story I wanna see” sometimes character creation ends up becoming a necessity. Usually a whole scenario comes first before any character hits the canvas at all.

Then, if the character needs a little more to fill out their world, like a family member or something I’ll tack on some supporting characters too. They might be faceless or mostly irrelevant, but their existence even if it’s just for my own self reference can be useful. I don’t really do the “WOW NEW THING. IM GONNA MAKE AN OC FOR IT!!” then ultimately drop them (Even ones I dont post about publicly I still use today or they’ve been repurposed) And on top of that— a lot are made a year in advance so they can go through all their iterations and have the kinks mostly smoothed out so nobody has to watch any “sigh…im gonna redesign them…” ordeal 😭 THATS DONE BEHIND THE SCENES OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME since i do change my mind a lot. Even if I liked some aspect at one point, over time I can go “actually, this doesn’t work as well as I thought.”

Sure, maybe I’ll make minor edits after the fact like height changes or best subject changes, but everything needs to be at it’s most final iteration I can get it to be. Though once something is out publicly it’s very hard to renege details I wanna change after the fact. I know none of this is serious at all by any means, but sometimes I think people can feel when there is or isn’t a lack of effort. So I end up treating these made up things with a lot of scrutiny, especially if anyone outside of myself is going to see them. But even I’m caught off guard if innocuous details are honed in on by others that I didn’t account on anyone scrutinizing.

Also a lot tend to be collaborative with @/oddberryshortcake. Contribution levels vary. I dunno. It’s just how things end up working out.

So, even if a new OC ever dropped, it’s probably been cooking under wraps for a year and won’t be known until the day it’s posted since I never talk about my process openly. Or it was hinted at a year ago and is undergoing another checking process with no promise on when that’ll finish.

My current favorite is TIA!!!, at least going by twst standards but everyone is close to me to some level.

Otherwise, I’m not too interested in making more.

I’d need to really be struck by something to want to do that.

The most I do now is assist oddberry with hers (tho I’ll remain mostly hands off outside of visuals). And if any “new” ones show up, again, they were already being made and just now hitting their final stretch, or it’s mostly oddberry’s brainchild.

But as for me right this second in the present there’s not much else I wanna do.

im boring lmao

confession: look, on the one hand, I like Spider, I do. He’s an interesting character and I agree that the hate he gets in some corners of the fandom is absolutely ridiculous. He’s not a backstabber or villainous or a flip-flopper or whatever other bullcrap, he’s an orphan kid in an alien world trying to find somewhere to belong, the hate is silly.

but.

I’m growing equally tired of seeing posts with an attitude of trying to guilt-trip people for not viewing him as a member of the Sully family. Canonically, he simply isn’t (sorry, but the movie directly, explicitly stating “he wasn’t part of our family” outweighs concept art with an “unofficial adoption” songcord bead).

The Sully family is very personally meaningful to me right now, so naturally I want to focus my energy on them. Spider is of course a close friend of the family, so sometimes he will be included just like Norm or other characters are sometimes included, but I’m not going to go out of my way to shove him in every single time...and quite frankly, the more I see folks acting like it’s somehow problematic to not consider Spider a member of the Sully family (which again canonically he isn’t), the less I want to do stuff that includes him :/

I think it would be very funny if Roger ap Gwilliam was born when Ruby unleashed him. I don't think it's said which year specifically they land in but since Ruby could pay on her phone, I'm going to put it in the past 5 years if it's not 2024.

So you have this man in his early-to-mid 20s, saying shit about wanting nuclear control, and somehow he wins. He probably has much older opponents who are either middle aged like Ruby or older, something that theoretically indicates wisdom and sense, while this fresh faced Welshman acts like a living John Mulaney 'eggs and bottle rockets' sketch.

First Prime Minister to be appointed in his 20s in over 250 years (only other person in our history actually because Pitt the Younger is currently the only 20-something PM) and may even beat that record if he was born in 2023 or 2024. Possibly the last PM too if his plan went ahead.

All because people saw him and said "Sure, let's give this young man his bombs despite the fact he left school only a few years ago."
