#really surprised abt this tbh

[lttleghost]

things that don't make me dysphoric:

- having boobs and wider hips and just my body in general

- wearing makeup

- wearing most dresses

- using she/her pronouns

things that do make me dysphoric:

- having long hair

- being called feminine terms (with a few exceptions)

- having non black nail polish apparently????

Another year, another outfit to die in! Happy birthday again Izuna!!!!!!

Like last year, I played with someone else's lines for these charming patterns, thank you so much Lena @elhnrt ! I had a ton of fun :D

Check the readmore for pattern references and explanations, there are some easter eggs in there :)

(x,x,x,x)

My goal for this piece, in addition to playing with patterns and textures and adding some Naruto references, was to add as many death flags as possible.

The idea of having Izuna in a fireman's coat is obviously not from me. I've always like the idea of Uchihas in fire resistant clothes, and the opportunity for a thick texture alongside a reversible double pattern is very appealing. I used the image of the second reference as a base, with skulls on one side and stylized lightning patterns on the other (visible inside the sleeves and collar). Both were common immagery of firemen coats.

The actual skull pattern is taken from the third reference. I'd seen this one before and before even learning anything abt it it was too beautiful to pass up. Those white and navy gradients are absolutely delightful and I enjoyed using my gel pens for them very much.... This particular type of imagery with skulls and bones in a field is called Nozarashi, inspired by Buddhist representation of death and transience.

The lightning pattern itself is a reference to water and lightning dragons :) Like Tobirama's iconic jutsu, it's one of the hints of what's abt to happen to our little guy. The scabbard is also decorated with dragon motifs for the same reason.

The background pattern is taken from the first reference, another fireman's coat with an illustration of Raijin, the thunder god. He is often representated with drums decorated with tomoes. It works nicely as a standard looking sharingan illustration, with a reference to Tobirama's hiraishingiris with the thunder imagery, like the thunder patterns inside the coat.

If you're interested in this I recommend the book linked in the second reference! It is entirely about skeleton motifs in japanese clothing of the early 20th century.

"You don't look queer" well, maybe if people stopped acting like there is a specific way you should dress to be gay it wouldnt be such a surprise that people who "dont look it" are, in fact, still queer

[verflares]

SPOILERS FOR S2E9 TD REBOOT

that elimination was so stupid i swear— I knew Caleb was gonna win immunity n all that but they did not need to do MK that dirty!!!

she didnt win because she tripped???? seriously?????? like no better reason than that, she just tripped over a rock and inhaled some of Chef's car, and she couldnt convince people JULIA, who placed 4TH last season btw, was the biggest threat out of all of them (bcs they werent gonna vote out Priya bcs theyre all friends)

im so sick of everything

Shinsou needs you to look at him so bad but also can't keep eye contact with you at all

Whore. Vying for your attention like a child only not being able to handle it cuz he's really just a baby deep down.

And you already know he can give the most dangerous pair of bedroom eyes if he really wants to, just has never liked someone as much as he likes you to actually want to use them seriously.

I feel like it's funny because, before you start dating, you think the reason he can't look you in the eye is just because he's aloof and doesn't care, but after you start, it's frustrating because it's so intimate and lovely and he still can't bring himself to do it! Despite always needing to be in your vicinity or up in your business, turning away the second you acknowledge him.

Getting-all-flustered-ass when you pay attention to him like he's not staring/glaring down everyone else... Yes, I would be kinda Pissed.

(It's really just because he's shy. Being all sexy and intimidating to keep people from thinking they can get all close to him.

The first time you go to the club together as a couple, you catch him giving sexy eyes to a guy chatting him up, and the second you walk over to confront him about it, he's melting under your gaze and ignoring the other person altogether... embarrassed and squirmy at the thought of you being mad at him but needing you to know it's just because he loves you so.

He just can't help it!!! And now the stranger is mad that you got him so easily... bamboozled.)

[vaugarde]

[weedlovingweed]

sometimes it’s so sad to like. remember people don’t think gayness is normal and regular 😭 like when i am just living my life and experiencing gay love and it’s so normal and good and perfect and etc and like. then i remember people are fucked about it for no gd reason and think it’s unnatural. ?????

[saviourkingslut]

ahr results sure are something! why f!edelgard is on there despite the existence of 2 million counters is beyond me, and her presence cost embla a spot - who is, you know, actually good. i also hope s! edelgard doesn't make it to the banner bc people keep saying she's an amazing unit but she is honestly not that hard to counter and she doesn't fit my play style either, plus she doesn't have good fodder so i have no real use for her. and the way they put fomortiis and arcane grima against each other for the gauntlet like 💀 couldn't you have put the two edelgards up against each other instead of the two baddest bitches in the top 8. come on

putting the dog to sleep by the antlers to the tune of p2 grimmyarrow.....augh

I have no idea how you manage to do extensive research if I was at your place I would do research and then be wrong about everything

OWDNWKDNWKD IM CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO TBH.... but really its just about hunting down the right resources and doing a lot of cross-referencing for me!!! I really enjoy learning new stuff and highly value accuracy so i have a lot of fun fishing for scientific papers and going on research binges for information i can use in a story-- sometimes it takes a minute to sift through the academic language so i can understand what its saying, but usually i can get the gist of what im reading, which helps a lot when i start cross-referencing with more layman-friendly articles :]

do u ever see comments on posts and artwork full of effort and thought and passion etc and like. think about that post that talks about how people have the darndest time interacting with art without trying to crack a joke about it. is it really so boring to take someone's art seriously? is it necessary to demean someone's efforts, however unintended, for a 'joke' that consists of you being like "ooOOoOh how weird lol!!" like i don't want or mean to be a killjoy. but i think about that post a lot. like y do u need to add a punchline to something that doesn't need one. who asked u. why does it need to be funny. and u don't even have the decency to acknowledge its merit ;/

[bunycube]
