more trying to figure out a nice way to draw roan with whatshisface and a redesign of anja of 2016 fame with the tiger colours extending all the way up
i will have to start designing clothing for them otherwise u won't believe me when i say they have an extreme modesty culture
#i traced that tiger body i'm too tired to remember how to draw those right now. the effort level could not be lower#real og followers from my furry blog days will recognise anja maybe idk#i will grandfather in that fur colour for them but probably won't be doing any more unusual colours for anyone else. b/c i'm mean#ironwall

Obsessed with Lloyd never mentioning his grandfather is the First Spinjitsu Master, apparently to the point even Arin didn't seem to know, because "eh, it never came up". Cause like, yeah, sure, my grandfather is God, what of it? Normal day for me. Shit happens. My dad is also evil, you wanna talk about that? I sure don't.
It's also funny from a character arc perspective. Here's itty bitty baby first season Lloyd, loudly proclaiming he's the son of Garmadon, and probably also making sure everyone knows he's God part 3 electric boogaloo. And then one Tomorrow's Tea and a few more years later and he's doing everything physically possible to NOT care about his heritage. In fact he'd probably rather his parentage was literally anyone else. Dude could care so less he forgets about it most of the time. King behavior.
#ninjago#dragons rising#ninjago dragons rising#ninjago dr#lego ninjago#lloyd garmadon#first spinjitzu master#garmadon#text post#talk#ideas#lloyd that entire time interally was probably like 'did wu get a temple--? oh wait thats granddad. sorry granddad. i guess'#he took one look at that altar and went hm. should probably fix that. mostly cause it'll fix my problem but wu didnt raise no disrespect#(except for when the disrespect is funny) what who said that#do you think he was like 'oh thank granddad finally my godly heritage isnt screwing me over' when the ghost mentioned needing a descendant#or was he like 'well. its another day of me being grandfathers favorite i guess'#do you think sora and arin felt awkward realizing they were in the temple of lloyds granddad. meanwhile lloyd did not give a flying fck#as far as hes concerned granddad can stuff it cause hes 80% all the sht that happens to him is bc God really likes him & thinks starting#problems is an appropriate way to show his love. and he doesnt think god takes constructive criticism#he sure will try tho#also yknow his closest interactions with Gods are his dad & uncle. & Wu is. like that. & also he's so sick of garmadon's bs#'my dad is literally banging some news guy i could not respect him less if i tried. his taste has only ever been mediocre. sorry mom'

My grandmother (Betty) turned NINETY-NINE years old today
#she practiced yoga long before it was cool#is fond of wacky jewelry#and of asking embarrassingly personal questions loudly in public#like How’s Your System#which is basically code for thinking whatever you’re complaining about is probably just constipation#she and my grandfather loved to wear matching outfits#she has a great cackle

I got bit by the Sparkling bug and really wanted to give Bumblebee and Breakdown a child for my unnamed AU I'm working on but then I remembered I can't draw children :( big shout out to that post floating around here that's like "imagine a Sparkling but they come out full sized then what." traffic tickets and impound fees that's what
(pssst look at their knees)
#its my first time drawing a transformer can you tell#maccadam#tfe bumblebee#tfe breakdown#transformers#transformers oc#OKAY story time!!!!!!#I went with a 1971 corvette bc my grandfather used to race street cars in the 70s and was a mechanic and has a fleet of muscle cars#im going to make Jazz a Chevelle look out for that#BUT i went with F8 green bc my dads wife has a challenger that color green and Blue + Yellow makes green :3#their pointy things are supposed to be a combo of Bees horns and Breakdowns side thingies#also i mixed in some of Bees Cyberverse design bc i like that#their pose is a reference to Fuck Cops meme#okay so i was screaming the entire time i was drawing them bc Hard but also not very precious with the doodles which was a lot of fun?#i used to love to draw but i gave it up bc i was so focused on how bad i was doing and not having fun with it#but this time i was just having fun with it and WOW i finished it???#so for the AU it's not REALLY earthspark its more me pulling verisons of characters i like and putting them into the Scenario#like Ratchet from tfp and Smokescreen are also there along with Skywarp and Ambulon and Prowl and Jazz and Hot Rod#oh just you wait i also gave Skwarp and Ambulon a sparkling thats a search and rescue plane but nobody cares about shipping those two!!!#jazz and prowl also get a sparkling dont worry#the timeline is very long though with lots of flashing back and forwards and other things that probably people wont like but this is for ME

Oh this is scathing





#German memory culture is so fascinating#Also to some extent french#My mother often claimed that we had Jewish ancestry and that a great-grandmother of mine was Jewish#Turns out she'd based that on ''Women talking a weird language'' coming to visit her grandmother#anyway after a whole round of genealogical research we learned that i actually have an Austria-Hungarian great-great-great#grandfather#that is; my great-grandma was talking her mother's home language with cousins that were from three towns over#and they spoke very bad Serbo-Croatian amongst themselves and often just switched to french#but my mother constructed in her mind this whole thing about us being part Jewish and she used to be fascinated by#Woody Allen Roman Polanski Claude Lanzmann the Marx Brothers Jewish humor etc.....#(My mother also spent six months in Germany as a teen during student exchange. i blame them)#But yeah this idea that since i'm neurotic and i had a big nose i was somehow secretly Jewish was drilled into me#She also thought that since my grandpa is Andalusian he probably had some Sephardic blood#Which. What exactly is supposed to be meant here by blood ??? Völk ? Blut ? one-drop rule ??????????#anyway this brand of philosemitism is becoming more and more repulsive to me#Jews are not an enlightened scholar-priest-stand-up-comedian caste with magical blood. They're an imagined community#Same as every other nation; religion; family; culture. Like everybody else they are as good or bad or interesting as imagination allows#And if we have to do weird philo-ism of an outgroup devoid of content let us do what writers have done for 500 years and#Write about talking animals#I'd rather we all collectively hallucinate the houyhnhnms as the quirky fun minority rather than cast real people in that role#or the pigs Napoleon was part of or whatever

I'm watching the new Natsume Yuujinchou season, and I am really noticing how different Natsume's eyes look compared to everyone else's. All the other human characters have round pupils, even when they are startled, but Natsume has cat-slit pupils, no matter what he is feeling. When he is suprised, they narrow, but even when calm, his pupils are not round.
It's such a subtle difference, especially because his coloring isn't that unusual (unlike the manga) but it's noticeable and makes him feel different than the other humans. I can only imagine other people subconsciously pick up on it, and its just one more thing that isolated him from people when he was growing up.
#it also enforces my theory that Nyanko is his grandfather#we have seen yokai take human shape#in the manga misuzu takes on human form#nyanko probably has a human form#and i could see reiko getting with a yokai#which would be why nyanko watches over Natsume#natsume yuujinchou#natsume's book of friends#natsume takashi#natsume season 7

guess who's managed to solve a historicity/continuity problem by (checks notes) inventing another relative for jamie who gets killed off
#second doctor#THIS ONE ISN'T TRAUMATIC FOR HIM THO OK. THIS ONE DIED BEFORE HE WAS BORN#tl;dr the phantom piper makes it fairly clear that jamie's grandparents live in a different house#& they are obviously jamie's father's parents bc of like. the whole phantom piper thing#butttt this is a little Odd from the perspective of like. highland rents being split amongst people's children#& prevalence of multi-generational households rather than like. growing up and moving out as we might expect now#(obvs whoever wrote the phantom piper probably didn't think about this but i am thinking about it. so.)#as pipers to the landlord jamie's family would also be on a permanent lease not a 100-year one#so the solution i have concocted is.#jamie's father grandfather AND uncle (father's older brother) all fought in the '15#his uncle ought to have inherited the grandparents' house and would have lived there with them#whereas jamie's father was already married & had moved out to his own house on a separate rent#(this is still a little nebulous but bear with me here i'm doing my best hkjdf)#jamie's uncle then dies in the '15 so doesn't inherit the old house#jamie's grandparents then stay there and jamie's father doesn't move back in. again for kinda handwave-y reasons#idk man i just like the idea of there being another hole in his family where there should be someone#& his father losing his older brother vs jamie losing his younger brother#much 2 think about

i want beniko and yorishima to hang out. i think they'd balance each other out well. antisocial old man and woman who resents a different old man for dying before she could socialize him. yorishima probably knew her grandfather and probably was cranky about his whole youkai friendship situation, which beniko was also cranky about. ultimately beniko has to make her peace with the fact that she avoided her grandfather because she couldn't share his world and that now that he's dead it's too late to reach out to him. yorishima isn't a substitute for her grandfather, but he is a guy who's isolating himself not just from humans who can't see, but also from humans who can see and from youkai. his perspective overlaps with hers in some ways and with hakozaki's in some ways and completely diverges from both in others. i think it would be good for both of them and i would like to see it.
#i also want beniko to hang out with tanuma. though maybe after her grief is a little less fresh. because that will be#emotionally devastating for her probably#like oh here's a guy who made a completely different decision than you when faced with someone who could see things he couldn't see#and is reaping the rewards of the intimacy and friendship that result from that decision#the intimacy that you never had with your grandfather. that you could have had if you had chosen differently#<-is maybe how she would see it though obviously hakozaki and natsume are very different. natsume is trying harder for one thing#natsume's book of friends#my posts#f#natsume yuujinchou#hakozaki arc#yorishima#i'm thinking of this right now because of s07e06 but it's informed by ch 120

browsing stormlight art on tumblr and ran into a post about how different dalinars life would have been with a somewhat healthier childhood and i think someone tagged it 'kaladin adopts young dalinar au' or something
anyways i propose a Make Everybody Worse au. teenage dalinar and gavilar get dropped directly into formenos and unofficially adopted by feanor a few years before the flight of the noldor. they both participate in the First Kinslaying/Oath/Losgar and then feanor dies. maedhros adopts them and then thangorodrim happens. maglor adopts them for a few years until mae gets rescued. they participate in the first few decades of the wars of beleriand, after which they get dropped back into the middle of alethkar.
on the noldorin side of things, m&m assume the random children they sort-of adopted (300some years before Secondborn were awakened) got killed somewhere in the battle. the kidnap fam situation now has the additional context of m&m having known even more pairs of children who died because of the Oath - one pair killed in the Second Kinslaying, one pair who presumably died in battle because they swore the Oath
on the alethi side of things, dalinar & gavilar are now Oathbound kinslayers who just lost five-to-ten parental figures and all their friends, and spent most of their lives being actively encouraged in war and military strategy. they also skipped the entirety of the navani-related conflict and are probably somewhat closer because of that. violence ensues.
#stormlight archive#silm adjacent#crossover#dalinar kholin#gavilar kholin#feanorians#silm crack i guess#why would feanor adopt them? not sure#though if two vengeful children with swords speaking an entirely foreign language fell through his ceiling he would want to Study Them#and given that they have no apparent way to get back to roshar and no other guardians i dont think nerdanel would object to it#shed probably be interested in figuring out alethi language at least#give them five years and the kholins have brand new red crested helms and noldorin steel swords#and feanor has a freshly revived linguistics special interest and a brand new treatise on alethi glyph writing#actually yeah he would absolutely be fascinated by Alien Writing System#(meanwhile im sure the kholins would be vorin-ly scandalized by Man Who Invented Written Language lol)#inspired by me reading all the bondsmith parts of oathbringer and reflexively going 'no oaths!!!'#like theres a little elrond in the back of my head lol#but yeah. worst of both worlds. congrats kholins have fun#even elrond gets bonus oath trauma despite being born several centuries later#from what ive seen teenage kholins were definitely bloodthirsty enough and common-sense-lacking enough to swear the Oath#so theres an opportunity to work more Oath Feelings into it for celebrimbor as well#since they would be around his age years-wise i think? just human age instead of elf age but close enough to probably know them#lol imagine curufin going 'hey tyelpe your grandfather wants to take in these weird kids he found. theyre Aftercomers who speak#an alien language and write completely differently and they fell through the ceiling. do you want to go chat with them or something'#tyelpe having Weird Aftercomer Not-Cousins around his age who 'died' for the Oath...

Started watching the Bayverse movies with my besties and... Are we just too gay for these movies??? Admittedly we only finished the first two and got through a quarter of the third, but the second one was such a drag to sit through at times and it probably doesn't help that we do NOT care about Sam that much. I hope that there is a character arc for him in the rest of the third movie. Because so far he has not been fun to watch in that one. He just comes off as a slight manchild to me, like... I can see why he would be frustrated with where he is in life but the way he acts with others and lashes out does not help him in the slightest. I do have to admit though that seeing him go to Cybertronian Heaven in the second movie was the funniest part for me and my besties lol.
I'll just hope that the other guy in the next movies will be at least a bit more interesting. Doesn't even have to be a good guy, just an interesting guy for me lol
#rintalks#text#transformers#transformers bayverse#A lesbian demigirl a she/they lesbian and a nonbianry bisexual watch Bayverse with alcohol- You'll never guess what happens next#Adding a Drinking Game to your (attempted) movie marathon can increase the fun for the whole group lol#But only when everyone knows how to drink responsibly and does not peer pressure of course#I feel like they made Sam too much of an Everyman that he basically had nothing as a person himself#He is literally a middle-class white teenage boy who is not too smart nor too sporty a bit awkward but says witty lines and-#It feels like so much to just say nothing#No real soft and or hard skills to speak of for this dude#Nothing about him as a person was what was needed in the two movies either#It was so circumstancial#If he wasn't related to his captain/explorer grandfather and had his glasses then he never would've been sucked into the conflict#if he didn't touch the shard in the second movie then he wouldn't have been an accidental cybertronian usb stick#I do admit that the movie wouldn't have come to it's conclusion without his involvement and the knowledge he sucked up but everything else-#It wasn't exactly HIS knowledge and he wasn't the guy who had all the breakthroughs or epiphanies.#Also. Him going to cybertronian heaven lol. All these soldiers also gave their lives to protect Optimus where do they go? Lmao#I feel like Mikaela would've been a better protagonist but considering that it was the 2000s and she was a girl in a “”boy franchise“”-#fat fucking chance man ToT#The way she was driving in reverse while having Bumblebee in the back shoot at Decepticons was som genuinely cool shit ngl#And she only got the car bc she knew how to unlock and jumpstart it!!! Queen shit!!!#I'm so far not a fan of how weirdly enabling Carly is of Sams more immature tendencies but I won't give up hope and just watch!#Maybe they'll break up bc they see they're not good for each other or maybe the trauma will change them and draw them closer to each other#there are many ways to go with both of these characters and their relationship#Am I having too much hope? Probably but I don't want to be too cynical about things lol#makes life a bit more fun that way too#Funnily enough the only characters me and my besties found ourselves slightly attached to were the idiot twins in the second movie#and the little monstertruck guy voiced by Tom Kenny at times. Not in all his scenes but you know. A win is a win.#And of course Bumblebee except for that scene where he pissed on that dude in the first movie that was not it

Even though I'm not happy about tariff's on Canadian imports, I’ll gladly pay extra for Noel Fisher. He's worth every goddamned penny.
#premium canadian goods#noel fisher#gallavich#shameless#happy to pay my fair share#although he'd probably be grandfathered in under 'essential goods'#fuck trump#hope he gets a bottle of maple syrup shoved up his as by a moose#trade war

I know I missed it’s birthday by a day but

I put Greener on an unbranded mp3 player that came out of the depths of the abyss
#I say that because for some reason??? There is no brand I can tie to this???#I have found NOTHING that looks like this#It has a lot of features that don’t work (there’s no file for them when I plug it into my computer to put things on here)#There’s two corrupted files (I think idk)#And a file that is an empty character (it’s just a square) and the pi symbol#And opening it in the notepad just has two sites for Roms on them???#It’s probably my strangest functional gift from my grandfather#S.K thinks#Chonny Jash#snyways yeah cool mp3 it has some other CJ songs in there too I fortgot my tracklist ahhhhggh#Sorry for ranting this mp3 (slash mp4? Haven’t figured out how to get it on there…) is the strangest thing I own
