Doing warm up and decided to a little re-draw!!This is what I mean when I say getting ābetterā at art takes time :]
I say ābetterā cause back in 2016 that was my version of the best I could do with the level of skill I had!! I wasnāt perfect by any means and Iām still not, but that is what makes art so rewarding. You keep improving :)
#oranges art#pleasantly surprised myself with this#this kinda thing is important- to me at least#I said I was dissatisfied with my art a couple days ago#and this really reminds me how much Iāve learned and grown#the newer one isnāt my cleanest or most rendered#but I feel proud of it none the less š#thatās what itās all about baby!

Ok why the Fairly Oddparents reboot kinda good tho
#fairly oddparents#fairly oddparents: a new wish#fop cosmo#fop wanda#art#fanart#digital art#tbh it might just be the nostalgia talking#the new artstyles kinda ehhhhhh interesting to get used to but writing wise I've been pleasantly surprised#nothing revolutionary or anything but reasonably good!#If I do draw Cosmo and Wanda again Im gonna let myself go ham#I tried to reign in the bug features a little bit for now but I could only help myself so much#They deserve to be a little bit eldritch

If I throw a bunch of hats in the ring surely one of them has to fit right
Featuring the three recolors of one design cause I like them all
#two of these designs are because I canāt get out of my head her being a windclan cat. I donāt know why but I canāt imagine her being-#-thunderclan even though she most likely will be#i like the idea of tortie / calico moonpaw but I hadnāt seen any harvest moon ones!! I wanted to make one myself#and just an orange moon one#the first one is what I think will be closest to her canon. that or the grey one of the recolor set#if sheās grey Iāll just change the first one to slightly greyer. or not idk#if I already convince myself sheās grey Iāll either not be disappointed or pleasantly surprised I donāt wanna hold out hope too much#her windclan looking designs came to me so easily I think theyāre my faves but the harvest moon one is really cute too#just not fully pleased with my color choice I struggles with it#warrior cats#warriors#changing skies#moonpaw#design

Okay so legitimate question here, but is bkdk canon canon or heavily implied but with plausible deniability fanon canon now? I know itās some flavor of canon because Iāve seen some panels and it looks super extra rainbow gay in the epilogue, but I canāt tell if Hori actually made them gay, or if itās heavy handed queerbaiting that weāre all just running away with as the new canon. Like did we kidnapped the characters and declared it canon no matter what the official story says, or did the man actually say it??
#I NEED TO KNOW IF ITS CANON#ngl ima be pleasantly surprised if it turns out he actually made it canon because I didnāt think he would do it#but if we just kidnapped the character I support this too#iām genuinely curious#pls tell me#I could probably go find the info myself with some research but thought Iād ask before I went down a rabbit hole#I got out of the fandom awhile ago because it looked like hori was queerbaiting us hard#but if he actually followed through Iām willing to apologize and might get into it again#if we did kidnap tho I might just join again because thatās hilarious and I love yall so much#Iāll still hate mineta tho#I will always hate mineta#bnha#bnha manga spoilers#mha spoilers#bnha spoilers#bnha deku#bnha bakugou#bakudeku#bnha bakudeku#bakugou katsuki#midoriya izuku#bakugo x deku

Another HM moment I really liked
There is also another moment in the Haunted Mansion movie that I really want to highlight and (slight spoilers ahead) that is the moment where Bruce interrupts Ben's mourning of Alyssa with his "think of the cholesterol on [your wife!]" Which triggers a massive fit of laughter in the entire room.
Unfortunately it has become a common theme in many live-action movies (looking at you, MCU) to ruin any moment with even the barest potential for some deep emotion with a joke. Like they can't think that a moving and emotional moment cannot be funny. And yet, Haunted Mansion takes that trope and turns it on its head.
Because Bruce's joke isn't the typical, groaning "oh god, here comes the emotion train, can't have that! (insert some half-baked sarcasm or bland joke here.)" It is Bruce looking around at his new friends, knowing that they are trapped in this place ruled by a malevolent spirit who feeds on grief, and Ben, the person who was told point blank that he will be the doomed 1000th spirit, mourning about his wife, telling them about her, her favorite snacks - the same kind she was going to get when the accident happened. And there is a long and silent pause, and some tears.
So Bruce brings in a little cathartic laughter, because silent sorrow isn't going to get them anywhere. So it's "Imagine the cholesterol on that woman!"
Yes, it is a pragmatic moment. But it isn't Bruce shutting Ben down or diverting the situation with a joke; he's just bringing in a lighter twist. Because sometimes, laughter can also be a part of healing.
It is a sorrowful, emotional moment. It becomes a funny moment. It does not lose the emotional impact. Yeah, it seems like another moment of "Bruce being a determined, oblivious, senile old potato" - but I'm pretty much convinced that Bruce knew exactly what he was doing.
(Also, I feel like pointing out that most of the rest of the group tries to restrain their laughter at Bruce's interruption... until they see Ben smiling and starting to laugh too. Then it's all-around laughter. The entire group respects Ben's grief and sorrow! There is never a moment where he is told off or dismissed for mourning his late wife.)
#haunted mansion#haunted mansion 2023#haunted mansion movie#like we had the somber silence and bruce opened his mouth and i braced myself for the tasteless joke coming#but then i was pleasantly surprised#case in point more movies should learn this balance/usefulness of humor and emotion at the same time!

Aaronās mask was untouched. Initially it was suspected he had not participated, but he claims it was intentional. When asked to elaborate he stated that āwhite is what happens when you mix all the colors together and sometimes thatās how I feelā¦like Iām everyone elseāsā¦whateverā¦all mixed together.ā When pointed out that his statement implied that he was not his own person Aaron just shrugged and grew quiet.
yes hello hi im back w/ more art . . . this time fanart of a cm fanfic series ācrazy is as crazy doesā on ao3. i rlly enjoyed it im gonna ramble on why under the cut ^_^
lemme tell u i love the characterisation: hotch (&emily) in this fic r so precious to me. mentally unstable, homocidal, & secretly insecure teens that are just teens <3 like. okay hotch fr murdered someone yet he grieves it with that youthful intensity & ābut i want it backā-ism bc he loved her and its so heartbreaking. AGH HIS DIARY ENTRY IS TOO!!! as is every reference to What Is Wrong with him :(( <//3
and!! iāve never read a foyet/anyone else thing before but hotchniss/foyet in this fic was so interesting. like, his characterisation was transformative enough that it makes so much sense!! like while also being subtle?? like nobody is making out w tongue hotch is just comfortable around them both, horny, and pretty sure emily/foyet r into each other. emily/foyet r just enabling each other while they also make hotch let loose, while hotch introduces some sweetness into emilyās life . . . it just Works
#niche fanart will save us. surely#and look ive explained myself i dont wanna hear anything abt the ship šš i suspended my disbelief and was pleasantly surprised#aaron hotchner#criminal minds#cm#hotch#criminal minds fanart#my art#my posts#fic rec#fanart#art

Everyone sleeping on how attractive Jay Baruchel is but 2010 me watching The Sorcererās Apprentice knew what was up, rewatched it the other day and now heās got me acting unwise*
*watching random Canadian films with less than 100 user reviews on them just to see him
Enjoy the blurriest phone screenshots ever as I reveal myself to be the girl from that one post that goes something like āgirls are always like omg look at him heās soooo hot and then you look at the guy and he looks like x* meme.
#sorry for jay Baruchel posting#no one else is doing it#jay baruchel#the art of the steal was actually pretty fun#real time was okay not great#I looked him up again because blackberry was f*cking amazing though I watched that for the other actor not jay#but anyway!#on the topic of Canadian movies (as a Canadian myself): theyāre often bad! š#but art of the steal was a pleasantly not terrible surprise#ignore me!#I think jay Baruchel is sooo hot okay

Yes it's a response to your last poll reblogged... I try to not care about kudos and comments but it's hard
AH
sorry nonny my reading comprehension rn is like -50% due to being distracted at all times by the show dropping tomorrow morning, but like, I think it's a matter of like, not necessarily not caring about kudos and comments and such because like, these are nice things to have! We are wired to like it when people go "I LIKE THIS!" about stuff that we make. Why would a person stop caring about that? That seems counter intuitive to me.
But more like, getting stuck on a toxic spiral of "I am creating this so someone will tell me that they like it" -> "I am sad because no one has told me they like it yet" is perhaps, not the greatest use of emotional bandwidth or time.
Also I've seen this happen and like, there comes a point in this spiral where even the biggest numbers imaginable will not fulfill a person who's stuck in this spiral. Think thousands of comments, four or five digit kudos counts, dozens of comments per chapter. None of it actually fulfilled them. They spent so much time obsessing over when to drop a chapter to get the maximum amount of "engagement" that it really sucked all the joy out of like, even getting comments at all. Or writing. Which sucked!
I'm a big proponent of hoarding those good feelings you have about your own work whenever you can, and not letting those good feelings be dictated by stuff you can't control, like other people reacting to it in some way, which is yes, easier said than done.
Overall, sending you a hug Nonny, because I think we all get this way sometimes.
#pinning your hopes about the interaction we get from other people which is necessarily going to be fickle#and have nothing to do with quality or how much work went into a creative endeavor#is going to make you miserable#asks and answers#like I think when people say āoh you shouldn't care about comments/kudosā#they really mean#but the first one is easier to say bc it's cool you know.#anyway I think the best thing I've done for myself is to like#1) get friends I can ramble to#and 2) convince myself that any fic I put on ao3 is going to get myself very excited#maybe two tumbleweeds#this way I am always pleasantly surprised when someone else shows up to my rarepair party#like āOMG A PERSON! WOOOOOOā

over 1000 words and 2 explicit scenes into this wip, i am desperately holding back my urge to add more worldbuilding to just enough justification for 3 more explicit scenes and i'm being so brave about it
#i will absolutely add more worldbuilding once i get the skeleton of this fic down#i'll be pleasantly surprised if i can complete this in under 5k#i have no business writing these characters and it will probably be horribly ooc but it's ~an AU~ it's fiiiiiiiine#aka what i keep telling myself#writeblogging
