Normalize people not wanting to be miserable anymore as a solid motivation, and not an immoral, dishonorable, weak one.

I recently got a bunch of TNG novels at a charity shop and this passage from the FIRST BOOK is making me feel craaaaazy
#the characterisations are all over the place because they were still finding their footing on the show itself :') like riker is rly insecure#and kind of a hardass???#and picard is a little TOO standoffish#but it makes me appreciate this all the more cos im like Oh but they understood from the get-go that geordi like. ADORES Data#😭😭😭😭#anyhoo. sorry for not drawing. i was doing some commission stuff.... and also it just takes me forever to motivate#myself to draw anyway. that tag got cut off awkwardly. but you get it.#Data Soong#geordi laforge#daforge#star trek#tng#mwah mwah love ya

GET HIS ASS FLOWERS! GET HIS ASS!!
Did Flowers target Dale specifically because of him shooting his own son?
Yes! Sort of. But don't mistake anything Flowers does to be out of genuine good will
#fop nature au#Flowers oc#I cant believe I didnt give him eyelashes in the comic#Everything Flowers does is motivated by a desire to have fun#Flowers was actually a little horrified but empathy is not one of his strong suits so he moved on very quickly#typically Flowers doesnt resort to straight up violence like this for fun#usually they have more playful schemes that only incidentally end in extreme injury#This was a special occasion though because it figured it could justify itself if it got caught by the council and get off easy#I guess I could describe it as wanting to play on Dales same level and that level happened to be violence#so yeah to be clear it doesnt care at all about Dev it just wanted an excuse to do something fun#btw because someone was confused Flowers is not my Sona just an OC

huhuhu look at this little Sneep test animation I made!! He's being brewed while he sleeps!😭he's so baby in there. Not me finally being motivated to animate again for the first time in 10 years purely because I felt The Overwhelming Need™ to boil Sneeps at 3am. (if you click on it, it's nicer quality! stare at the Sneep!)
u could say that i was,,,, cookin
#severus snape#pro severus snape#snape fandom#snape#hp#professor snape#snapedom#pro snape#snape love#nagi nyart#this is the first time I've animated ANYTHING since senior year of highschool#im ridiculously proud of myself#not for the animation itself but for actually becoming motivated enough to animate at all after so long#and its all thanks to The Sneep!

Did Poptart know about fusion stuff before Toast happened the first time?? Like did he hear about Avocado beforehand or was it just 'wtf just happened' the moment they unfused?
The thing all happened by accident that first time, Poptart didnt know at all beforehand!
Comic below is a follow up to this btw

how fucked up would it be if shen yuan transmigrated into shen qingqiu because bing-ge had an errant thought of ‘i wish he was kind to me’ in the woodshed literally nanoseconds before the switch?
the system couldn’t figure out how to give shen yuan to bing-ge, or it simply didn’t care enough to figure out the logistics of setting up such a divergence. as long as the possibility was explored in an alternate simulation-type setting, it would be satisfied.
he inadvertently created a better life for himself, but not one he’d ever get to live.
#svsss#bingge#binggeyuan#(tragic version (aka canon))#just. fuck man#he’s always on my mind#also about the system: i know its just a genre thing. the consensus is that it’s just there#but it’s a character!! it has motivation#characterisation personality influence on the plot etc etc#i always look at it like. it just no can no bb’d itself ya know#plagiator also#fuck the system. all my homies hate the system#.txt

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yao– still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btw– realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?
It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.
Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his father– 👉👈 Of course he is!
But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.
Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.
#mdzs#mdzs meta#meng yao#jin guangyao#lan xichen#rs: i wish it could've been you#I think for a guy like nmj the reason this 'fakeness' is scary is because it makes him unpredictable#meng yao COULD be nice to you because he wants you to think well of him and the best way to do that is simply being nice.#OR he could be planning to kill you later. you have no way of knowing which one it is.#but like... the existence of the latter– while obviously very troubling!– doesn't really make the former manipulation in and of itself#but both people in universe and the fandom frustratingly often take it as such#'i want this person to like me so i'm gonna be nice to them' <- this is not manipulation. this is just interacting with people.#anyway this dual motivation probably also applies to show meng yao. who is scrambling to find something else now that he's been banished.#but the reason the novel grips me so much is little civilian a-yao doesn't even *know* lan xichen yet.#it's the journey of this at first being very inpersonal- both as an opportunity and as a heroic act#(the impression he's giving being that he saved a stranger because he's just that kind of person 😇)#and over the course of their time spent hiding together becomes... very very personal.#meng yao coming in with a very general plan that he could charm any kind of person with and slowly adjusting it to fit lxc#but how is that so different from just... getting to know a person and realizing what kind of relationship you want to have with them?#I also just think it's cute to have a-yao get bonked over the head with the realization that this guy is so fucking NICE what the FUCK?#no way he's this lucky. good shit doesn't *happen* to him where's the catch with this guy??? hello???#lucky of course both on a personal level and for his practical goals. i loveeee both sides of a-yao's brain screaming in tandem

[ cw: homophobia mention / transphobia mention / ]
Hate being mad on main but since apparently some people wanna be homophobic and transphobic in this fandom, on this website, in this year, I gotta say boy howdy I sure do love how literally none of the characters in Rise are cishet! Not a one!
Pride month? More like pride year, yeah?
(But yeah if there’s any homophobes or transphobes following me I heavily suggest you leave now, please.)
#sorry for being petty but homophobia is not tolerated in this space so uh if that applies to you Leave#listen you can have whatever opinions and headcanons and thoughts and feelings you want#but when you look at an entire group of marginalized people#point and say EW? that it’s horrible and wrong?#all in public with terrible language in a space that is full of LGBTQ+ creators?#in this series where the creators are explicitly pro lgbtq+ and have even included some in the literal show itself??#nah lmao get outta here this is not a space for you#spite is a wonderful motivator and now I wanna make even more LGBTQ+ content

also fun fact one of my besties is named nix :3
#toontown#toontown corporate clash#ttcc#plutocrat#cosmo kuiper#satellite investors#im about to ramble in these tags about the pacesetter drawing i made for this series bc i dont know where else to talk about it#looking back at it i am not happy with that drawing tbh#specifically the shading#like the shading itself looks good but with the other parts of that drawing it really just doesn't fit the vibe I was going for??#its way too dark in most places imo so most of the details that you should be able to see get hidden in the shadows#it was an experiment and failed experiments happen whatever#i might upload an alternate version of it where i tone down the shading#idk#i'll probably just end up making another pacesetter drawing when my motivation comes back cus i am a bit artblocked rn#ALSO WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I DRAW MY FAVS IT TURNS OUT MEH AND WHEN I DRAW THE GUYS I DONT CARE ABOUT IT TURNS OUT AMAZING WHAT IS UP WITH TH#stupid made this

(zelda comic rough draft)
im still unable to draw anything ... except for really slowly getting the chapter 2 rough draft further for some reason, another screenshot from page 59
#ganondoodles#zelda#art#tloz#loz#demise#hylia#wip#now its almost the entire page i posted#but i dont think i need to keep any secrets ...#until this scene is painted i might have gone through 3 style changes again anyway lol#none of my test readers have been responding for a while#i worry not only about them but also about the comic ;O;#but i dont want to seem pushy or pressuring so im just kinda waiting nervously but patient bc they probably have better things to do#when im running low on motivation i tend to screenshot wips in hopes of getting a little bit of it back#and i havent been able to do anything else really#so ........................ q-q#even those wonky centaur sketches havent really done anything for me which is sad bc the idea itself is pretty cool#anyway i really like that first demise panel there#perhaps hes having a little too much fun fighting hylia considering shes still very much intending to seal him at some point#idk if its even clear whats happening .. much less without context xD

i’ve never been as angry on behalf of a character as i am for sam winchester
#currently thinking about season four and five. absolutely fuckibg mental#the world literally reshapes itself around him to prove him wrong#its all framed as God. Sam was so stupid and selfish and reckless for drinking demon blood. He just liked the power of it and he chose a#DEMON over DEAN.#but. that’s not the story they tell in s4.#like even aside from every single other complexity. Sam is literally right. he has ZERO WAY of knowing that killing lilith is the final seal#AND DEAN DOESNT KNOW TJAT EITHER. like sam is literally right he can kill lilith and he does kill lilith. dean wants lilith dead just as#much. sam’s cardinal sin is disobeying dean and then the world flips around on him and plot twist sam and dean were both wrong all along and#killing lilith is what will bring back lucifer :)#but. it’s not framed like that either. it’s framed like SAM BROUGHT BACK LUCIFER BY KILLING LILITH WHILE HIGH ON DEMON BLOOD#dean you wanted to kill lilith too?????????#but. doesn’t matter dean despite being mostly motivated by jealous anger is retroactively proven to be Right#and sam is retroactively proven to be Wrong. he is bad#i just. jesus. sam’s not evil ever. he’s hardly even that fucking morally grey#and he still thinks there’s something wrong with him that he’s a freak that he’s inherently evil and needs to be purified#why?? cause of something fucked up that happened to him when he was a baby#and because he’s disobeyed his father and his brother and been angry at awful things that have happened to him#makes me feel fucking insane actually#no wonder narrative frames sam as evil no wonder he’s inherently marked as Bad by the forces in supernatural like even on a meta level#in supernatural gods just another shitty father. embodiment of the familial patriarch. and from sam’s very first moment on the show he’s in#opposition to that he’s ran away from john and he argues with dean. therefore he is evil#i don’t think my words r really making sense right now but. fucking hell#and sam is so swamped in guilt all of season five and he just fucking accepts that everything bad is his fault#and he gets tortured in the cage to save the fucking world and it’s STILL not enough. not to appease his own guilt and not to appease deans#anger at him. dean is still throwing his perceived violations back at him in like season nine!!#and whenever he tries to get out it’s treated as yet another Sin. narrative acts like sam thinking dean was dead and having a life outside#of hunting is The Worst Thing He Ever Did#worst sin sam ever commits in the eyes of the show is disobedience. Absolutely awful actually#spn#sam winchester
