Two from the same episode this time around, tried to cut it down to one but the quote from the wagon one was too cool to pass up. And I already had a fun visual idea for 'eat me' in my head so just ended up doing them both.

It's the first with doubles but not the last, a few of Micheals episodes have lots of good lines I want to do.

I'm really proud that I didn't give up making the cracked glass the text, instead of putting it around the image. Because I was struggling to make it look good for a while but we got their eventually.

Why do you always use that to piss me off? ...It makes me happy. We agreed that I'm in charge of the bars. But you come here all the time to watch me. How am I supposed to lead my people? Use your head, okay? Suit yourself. What's the matter? Chen Yi. Chen Yi! [...] Don't make me worry.

after some experimentation, i've found that "clean-shaven and hair hidden under a beanie" gets me gendered as male way more reliably than "hair loose, full moustache". no idea why long hair provokes such a strong "that's a girl" reaction, but there we go.

I'm starting a petition to put Luo Binghe on mood stabilizers. Or just plain put him down. Whichever works.

one of my fav post game togami headcanons is the idea that in the early days of their time with the future foundation, he's the one doing the Bulk of the work -- not only in the Job sense of like, interpreting all the legalese and filing forms, and being mr ceo guy -- but in a caretaking sense as well.

and its still in his Weird Distant way but like. he picks up extra work so the others dont have to. he brings coffee and tells them when its time to turn in for the night. dont worry. he'll finish the work they have left. it's nothing to him. and sure all of it is couched in backhanded comments a la "if you're too weak to do it i will. i GUESS" because he's still too early in his Journey to Empathy to admit to himself that he's doing these things because he cares. like it's all rationalized as "im the better than everyone and my weak-willed so-called 'peers' are too consumed by grief to actually be useful so i'll do it because im naturally immune to burnout" (he isnt)

and also bc like. he feels BAD about everything that went down in hopes peak. again, not that he'd recognize it as such for years but. here are all these people that he doesn't (does) care about struggling against their own grief for the people they lost that he doesnt care about (or at least doesnt remember caring about) and he treated them SO poorly in some of the harder moments so now's when he needs to make up for it. sure his entire family is dead but he's alive and he's the best one, so he'll do the work. it's fine. this is what he was made for. extra paperwork? handled. too swamped to find time to grab food and water? tch, he's so on top of his work that he already got it for you, stupid. the most dangerous missions? whatever, you'd probably just mess it up anyways, so i'll do it.

Super Mega Ultrawatch!Symmetra is Vishkar's failed kaiju experiment. She's become more aggressive towards people, but doesn't particularly seem interested in fighting either. They have to provoke her into turning into her kaiju form to fight the heroes

She really likes Lifeweaver's biolight plants though, it's one of the few things that snaps her out of her rampages. In this au, he takes her with him when he leaves the company

Anyone else think Khan is gonna develop into this?

I mean. This concept art is high-effort and detail. He IS developing into SOMETHING.

I mean, he already has a gun and a slight new attitude.

And he's about to get into a 3-on-1 fight with J. I'd be surprised if he doesn't see any injury at all.

Like, Alice's concept art wasn't as detailed and the only thing that really changed was the outfit. It was still the same character

Edit after adding tags: Please read the tags lmao I rambled again

Thank you for writing the (messy but neccessary) farcille breakdown. You handled it so wonderfully aaaaaaaah!! Like the other anon I was wondering how far "rock bottom" could get (because chapter 4 already felt pretty rock bottom) but. Yeah. That's pretty rock bottom, huh. The tragedy of loving someone but the other person not understanding <- this applies to both of them.

I think it was really neat how you flipped the question on who's reaching out to who with the academy flashback and the final scene with Namari, because... Marcille clinging onto Falin really is just a reversal of their academy days, isn't it? To everyone who met them after they reunited, it was always Marcille chasing after Falin, but to those who were at the magic academy, it was Falin chasing after Marcille. From picking flowers and berries to eat together, inviting Marcille out to see a play, and generally monopolizing her free time... I'm sure any of them would say the same thing as Namari, but in reverse. No wonder everyone thinks Marcille is just another friend to Falin. They weren't there to witness her pining /j. Idk!! I was rereading the chapter and the academy flashback girl was like "why do you hang off of Marcille so much" and I screamed to myself, "hey wait. HEY WAIT."

just had a realization as to why I find the Leave as Gods ending pretty chill and something I’d actually wouldn’t mind doing–

I’m nonbiney, xenogender, and relate more to abstract concepts than my own body, becoming a concept too great for anyone but yourselves and your literal soulmate to understand is literally my dream lmao.

Out of pure interest :

What was the most braindead, stupid, media literacy lacking, idiotic take on the Jedi you've seen so far.

Like we all know the classic genocide apologists, Stanakins, Grey Jedi edgelords ect. But was there ever something truly jar drobbingly stupid you've witnessed ?

HAHAHAHA DEFINITELY ANSWERING THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER YESSIREE-

But, in all seriousness, this is an excellent question, and thank you so much for it! Honestly, you pretty much hit the nail on the head with all the classics there, but I guess there's one thing that baffles me the most- and this isn't so much a singular take as it is a trend-

Why do anti-Jedi folks seem so insistent on ignoring Lucas' words?

Like- fine. You know how it is, everyone's entitled to their own takes on a piece of media regardless of the author's intentions. It's a significant part of fandom activity. But a tendency I see a lot on pro-Jedi posts is anti-Jedi folks straight up ignoring included testimonials from Lucas in their attempted rebuttals that actually, no, that's not the story that was being told-

Look. Have your own take. That's fine. But there's a difference between that and trying to put your own interpretation in the author's mouth when the author in question has repeatedly explained the themes of his story! Explore these ideas all you want on your own time, on your own blog, in your own fics. But don't try to argue that it's the story Lucas was trying to tell.

What is it with the flesh and having some of the most amazing quotes. the use of vaguely religious sounding statements is so good.

I couldn't choose between the two so ended up doing designs for both.

I wanted the design to be a mirror and I had the idea of it cracking in to the words pretty quickly but geeze if it didn't take for ever Messing around the words so they would read clearly but still look like cracks.

Colombo is one of my favourite shows. I used to see it out randomly on TV when I was a kid in late 90s/early 00s and it is still a delight to watch when I visit my mom and there is a rerun on tv. I am glad they put it on streaming so I can catch it whenever, but me and mom both love that guy and watch it together. It's an amazing show.

I'm watching it on "Alternative streaming sites" but I'm really enjoying it so far! It's really fun watching Columbo physically move around in the space because I just think to myself "none of these people are aware of the fact that he's a circling shark".

Sheridan: why is there a coffee plant in the gardens?

Ivanova: do you want me to truly learn “The Fine Art of Diplomacy”?

Sheridan: yes, I do.

Ivanova: then you didn’t see anything and you don’t even know it exists.
