#please don't coolsville sucks me

[dearpetaldove]

sometimes i'll be watching pegging content and i get so, so confused.

why are you six feet away. are you enjoying pegging your person or do you loathe it because it feels like the latter. is it a lack of chemistry? do you not wanna be pegging? i get if the strap is like massive, but like. and i guess if the agreement is just the tip. but its in like all of the pegging videos. is it a degredation thing, "i dont even want to fuck you but ill humour you"?

also like flaccid straps. some of them are so floppy it seems like they cant penetrate??? like ive had packers with more rigidity???

i think what i am wanting is like. well, i like Pure Pleasure's stuff, like a lot. idk.

im a super clingy bitch so all of this has me in the head tilt of confusion. what i am looking for is Difficult To Find (for free because i am over $1k in the red righg now) and I Do Not Understand.

(i know the answer is troll sw sites, i know that. still my concern would remain, like... paying for content, being super stoked, and then kinda ending up with the same thing.)

((i know f/m* porn is not where to go for these things but that's just kinda what i'm wanting to see. i feel guilt for saying that, please don't guilt me further. just kinda wanna see a cis boy come undone on a strap because i can kinda place myself there. i think bouncy cocks are cute. well, all cocks are cute, but right now im seeking a specific itch.))

*genders may not apply within cis binary

(I am so afraid of getting "I think Coolsville sucks!!!!!" on one of my posts one day)

oh my god someone understands me

it feels fine and good, I do not like it

I've been looking for. a while. trying to figure out whats irking me & if its a technical thing, and like I've only really got perspective (it feels really flat & imo a lot of the poses get jank as a result) and kinda lacks real feeling or personality of it's own(?) Like, everything is obviously moving (in a blood moon) but it all feels so still, all of the characters are posed like that

and I'm less confident on this, the colors don't feel very well done, it doesn't really feel like the characters that Are there are... There.

Like that blood moon looks more like death sun, which is not a bad choice (i think it's a lot better than dark night ??i cant see?? options) but it's something to definitely account for in your lighting, ur gonna wanna make that red hue Strong. it is not. like to the back maybe but this setting doesn't feel like it's at night as it should be, or in bright red light, as it looks to be. it looks like it's a set inside with a painting in the back.

same dance with the torch light, it would be a lot more intense and notable than it is. but also?? it should be Way more. the torch if the focal point, a bright light source in the center which then carries you to the protags. and it kinda does that but both the rest of the framing and lack of color balance kinda grades on that and makes it feel a lot less keynote. instead of looking to the torch then the players, you're kinda set off wandering, maybe you look at the moon, or that atrociously contrasted logo

now i only did the fill white and set as color layer (which i hear tends to exaggerate value differences) but the scenery is. very similar, and most importantly the players blend in to the general surrounding a lot. very much remedial with the aforementioned lighting tricks tbh.

the logo is a value nightmare too, i definitely think that needs to stand out a bit more than it does. kinda side tangenty but it's not great values.

sorry for the absolute word dump of tangents and side tangets, might try to make a version with those lighting fixes and see if that helps because i feel like that flatness is really what makes it feel dull

that said, its flat and you dont have a predetermined set point you're supposed to look, like a sandbox, you know l like a (i am immediately assassinated)

I do not think this artist did a bad job (i don't know anything about 50amp and i don't think anyone else does either so i will just cite to the studio) 50amp has a really amazing use of linework, especially for a comic. I'm not a linework guy, its boring, I can really appreciate that. and i feel like the colors aren't like, stab your eyes out or nothing, they're mostly pleasant (besides that freaking loG-) and the environment is done really well. its professional and it shows.

i mostly am so negative because im trying to hunt down issues, and also i did not intend for this to be my college thesis. Like how the guides leg dissapears behind the hand (which also, kinda symptom of the hand being right there, would have thrown off line tangents) so tm disclaimer i do look forward to this comic. i don't think its bad and i am not here to literally judge a book by its cover. i would never say coolsville sucks!

i can very much stand for previous comment, it's terraria??? its weird??? so at the end of the day all critique is personal preference and art is not objective, in that lens it kinda makes sense to have a pretty open, cluttered or uncanny look, i still don't like that choice myself but it does sell the mood quite well.

also im not. a professional I'm some guy on the internet.

final note x4 combo

here is a spoiler

I'm gonna put it down a little far but

look at 'em

(which, maybe its the lack of lighting that has to be accounted for, i think this evidences a lot better even with the janks how it will regularly be like)

ok enough end note disclaimers, groom and bride stickers??

Yoooo terraria comic 2.0

I'm so sorry but this artstyle looks so funny to me

Vibes "If normies is taught to draw by force".

It doesn't look bad, it's just..I really don't know how to describe it, it's exactly how terraria should look. Slightly careless, incoherent and random. But it's kind of fun, I mean... I have never considered terraria aesthetically beautiful and harmonious, it is random, stupid and cool.

And I love the way the comic transferred all the absurdity in this style, even the guide's hairstyle looks very ridiculous and funny, as in the original, if transferred to reality. Honestly, I was very afraid of this comic, but it looks like... like this, so now I'm absolutely calmly creating headcannons.

Also haha bats make ctrl+c ctrl+v

a very strange comment, but yes. I don't like the style in the comic, but it's exactly what it should be in terraria. Chaotic and random, but funny and cool.

CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING

I got a reblog from one of the people that really dislike Scott McCall on one of my asks today. Like, an actual reblog and not just another anon chasing their tail in circles trying to convince me, themselves and the rest of the world that Scott was truly just Bad™. I was super surprised because that usually doesn't happen until after their leaders Athena and Cole give them the signal, but in the same breath I wasnt surprised because they had me blocked so that I couldn't reply. Par for the course, I guess, but I managed to snag screencaps of the reply and I'm here to just... go through them.

My favorite part of this is that they seemed to have been under the impression that my answer to that anon was a challenge of some kind.

For anyone interested, this was all in response to this ask that I answered yesterday. I went through and debunked all of their points and that's what I'm going to do again with this.

1: are we referring to the first season when they broke up after Night School because Scott "abandoned" them to save their lives from Peter? Because, yes, Scott did send her texts and a picture of them when they were together, and she got upset, and after explaining things, guess what, he did, in fact, leave her alone!

2: I've already talked about Scott's interaction with Isaac in Anchors ad nauseam, which can be read here and here. If anyone doesn't want to read the second one (I admit, I can get a little long-winded), what I said was that I didn't like that scene because of how out-of-character it was for Scott. As for Jackson, with the way he treated people, Scott in particular, I'm honestly surprised that no one beat him before that. Scott has the patience of a saint to deal with that for as long as he did without snapping.

3: what's really weird about this is how these people who really dislike Scott (and just by how that was phrased I think I finally found the anon) always fixate on that time Scott shoved Isaac. Just that one moment, and you know why, because their were no moments after that. Scott had no objections to Allison and Isaac hooking up (they never got around to actually dating).

4: this is one of those moments where I want to shake people and say "please watch the damn show!", because what this dingus left out, like everything else in their reply, was context (more on that in a minute). In that scene where Scott yells at Allison (Raving), its after their plan starts to fall apart. That's one of Scott's legitimate flaws in the show (conveniently overlooked in favor of fictional flaws). When things don't go according to plan, he gets frazzled and upset. It's why he and Stiles work so well together, because Stiles excelled at the spur-of-the-moment stuff. Their plan to capture Jackson (to save his life) and discover who his master was wasnt going according to plan. As a matter of fact, it went completely belly up, and a lot of people were in danger. Forgive me if I give a scared sixteen-year-old some leeway in that situation.

6: this is another instance where you just know that they either haven't watched the show, or they've seen the episode once (probably when it aired) and have never gone back to watch it again, relying solely on their Tumblr community to reaffirm their stance on the situation. What this person failed to include, was that the hunters were already hunting Isaac and Erica and Boyd. They were after Derek's pack since the moment Gerard came to town and declared war on all werewolves, whether they were involved in Kate's death or not (Omega). No thought as t all is given to why Isaac, Erica and Boyd were even in that situation to begin with. Why did Derek involve children in his issues?

What this person is also leaving out is that Scott and Allison didn't get to talk about what happened to her mother at the rave until season three. After she killed herself, she was manipulated by Gerard into actively hunting Derek's pack, and basically told Scott to leave her alone while she contemplated murder.

But once again, we have that double standard rearing its ugly head. Why is Scott supposed to tell everyone everything, but the same doesn't apply to characters like Derek or Stiles? Why didn't Derek tell Scott about his history with the Argents and why he hated them so much? Why didn't Stiles tell Scott about Donovan's or Josh's deaths or Theo's involvement? Why is that the fandom allows themselves to empathize with how these characters are feeling, with allowing them to be emotional in their decisions, but not the lead?

This is where context becomes incredibly important, because without context, we get people making blanket statements about a character in order to paint them in a bad light. Without context, I could make statements like "Stiles is a murderer for killing Donovan" or "Stiles nearly killed a police station full of people" or "Lydia was in league with Peter to bring him back from the dead". Those statements by themselves don't put those characters in a good light, do they? But once you add the context to those situations, it changes the entire perspective of things.

With context, I know that Stiles didn't murder Donovan, but that it was an accident that happened in a life-or-death situation. With context, I know that it wasnt Stiles that planted those explosives, but the Nogitsune possessing him. With context, I know that it was Peter's hijacking of Lydia's mind and untapped power that allowed him to rise from the dead. We're allowed to remember the context of these situations, but why not ever when it concerns Scott and his hardships? Another good example is painting Scott as an idiot because he had bad grades, while completely ignoring the circumstances around his life that led to his grades slipping, namely the werewolf shenanigans he was getting dragged into. The double-standard comes in when a legion of fans come to Stiles' defense for writing an essay on the history of circumcision for an Economics class, because "he has ADD/ADHD" all over one throwaway line about him taking Adderall.

Context is everything, and it's amazing how often it's completely ignored when it comes to Scott.

Two more points.

Sadly, this isn't just something specific to the Teen Wolf fandom. Fandom in general seem to think that romance is the final evolution of any kind of relationship. It says something about them that that's where they're putting the emphasis on Scott's and Allison's relationship, and not the fact that they found their way back to being friends after everything that happened between them in season two.

And then there's this gem.

Wait... what?

I am so confused by this, because I'm not talking about a character I hate, but rather defending one I actually live against a campaign of misinformation. They use the word irony, but I don't think it means what they think it does (this isn't the Alanis Morrisette song).

Final thoughts: I often find myself wondering why I even humor these people anymore because it doesn't matter what I say, or what evidence I produce, they're just going to go out of their way to twist everything into making it sound like I think Coolsville sucks. But I'm like a cockroach, I persist. It's going to take more than they can throw at me to make me stop calling out the racism and double-standards that permeate this fandom.
