The final TF2 issue really got to me. Spoilers, but it’s the reveal that all of this suffering and murder and war over gravel and shitty land was for nothing but senseless, bottomless hatred. That the administrator can’t even remember where this revenge plot started as she flashes through different false memories of her parents’ deaths. There was never a tragic backstory or justification, only terrible people doing despicable things. And despite how crass and stupid and unserious TF2 is, the story subverts every expectation by showing the survivors and inheritors willingly breaking the cycle. Ms. Pauling lies to the administrator and chooses not to save her, and finally lets her die. (Hurts even more if you read into the subtext that Ms. Pauling is in love with the administrator.) She lets the final cache of Australium go and walks away from the burden and legacy of a century-old bloodfeud. Hale lets Gray’s daughter go and live her life freely. Spy is the first to arrive at Scout’s house and meet his big family, finally takes off his mask, and helps with the kids. Even Merasmus exhaustedly makes peace with himself and Soldier and chooses not to curse him or something. There’s nothing to finish, no promises to keep, and no one to avenge. The only thing to do is break the cycle and walk away.

It feels odd how happy and warm everything is, but it feels so right and earned. These bloodthirsty, awful, violent men were expendable cogs in a machine of endless violence, and they found a way out. It’s a genuinely great message about letting go the past that burdens you and finding the will and a way to hit the bricks, change, and be happy. Maybe they don’t technically deserve happiness, but they’ve got it nonetheless, and they’re not gonna let it go to waste. They’re still all crazy and violent, but on their own terms now and with people who love them! Smiles.

#tf2 #rant #personal #the stuff with the administrator reminded me of the ending of breaking bad #except the admin isn’t as self aware as Walt lol #that there was never a sympathetic reason or justification to fall back on #all of this was done simply because they were sadistic people #I really appreciate the writers avoiding the expected trope of the administrator dying and #Ms Pauling taking the mantel and becoming the next administrator. both as a either a girlboss empowerment thing or a sad but realistic end #like nah they’re happy and doing well. we won’t torture these characters any more and doom them to continuing the cycle #they’ll be happy and you’ll be happy for them

They’re having a sleepover :0 (Neither of them are very familiar with sleepovers in practice, but mutually decided there should be plenty of pillows for ammunition purposes) (their battle shall be legendary once one of them inevitably decides to instigate)

#my brush testing saga continues #they haven’t quite gotten down the pajamas part but the gossiping/griping part is going swell #…suddenly this is reminding me of a meme #I’ll have to find that later #bsd #my art #bsd chuuya #bsd dazai #bungou stray dogs #soukoku #skk

another comic for “utilities included” skfkskdjsjs

this time for chapter two 😅

masterpost

#one piece #sanji #zoro #zosan #narrator: and he continued to wait. and yes it was worse for him #i was humored that some ppl thought i had whipped up the last comic in less than 10 hrs #when in reality i had early access and had drawn it in advance #but then i DID make this one in less than 10 hrs so maybe im just rly inspired by this fic #also i will NOT screw the link up this time i swear…#i just have to wait to add it bc im scheduling this BEFORE the chapter is edited and posted—#which reminds me im supposed to go edit that arent i dkfkdkfkdkf #utilities included

Here are some Season 2 Arcane GIF comparisons before and after I color and sharpen them! | Season 1 Comparison GIFs

#arcane #arcaneedit #gifmaking #reminder that if ur not a fan of the coloring and sharpening then i dont need to hear ur opinion so fuck off and make your own gifs :)#sooo yeah!!! just sharing this very old coloring comparison i use from time to time to make sure i follow a certain peg for my gifs #but i dont really follow it to the T of course #and now i will use the tags to rant/comment about my coloring process lmao #ok so.... arcane s2 is SOOOOO much brighter than s1 i am so so so thankful we have such bright scenes instead of all the dark ones in s1 #because it makes my life so much easier #that being said my coloring isnt really perfect i still cant handle more complex tones like the mel gif......#i used to have a more stylized coloring wayyy back in s1 (esp when u look at my old gifs) but i kinda realized i had to change it #so i scrapped all my old psds and now coloredit EVERYTHING MANUALLY #hence why sometimes i gif the same scene but theyre colored different since i never use a preset PSD now #however it became way more tedious to make gifs... so yeah.... lmao #but in the end i like it more!!! i like that my new coloring just basically matches the show more but is just brighter and more saturated #unless ofc i dont like the tones of the original show i.e. the vi gif you see there where its super green gray???? idk i dont like it so #i recolored the entire thing #anyways thats really it coloring will always be something i continue to try to improve on but recently ive just been v busy so i just #speed color and edit everything and dont rlly take all adjustments into account so no more complex tones and #i just stick to basic things #oh right sharpening! so for sharpening i use a very basic setting: just 500 px and 0.4 radius which is what i use for almost everything #i also dont add noise bc the landscape photographer in me does NOT like it LMFAOOOOOOOOOO #but yeah thats really it for sharpening oh i also use 4k sources as much as possible bc it gives the best quality and if #i cant find any source i just upscale everything by myself then crop stuff again back to 540 px and imo it really just does look better #personal tag

Alas, this beautiful dream could not last.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #dungeon meshi spoilers #better drawn mdzs #(<- my higher effort art tag. I need to get a new one.) While it's different from my usual style I really loved how this came out!#Strolling back to the art scene to remind everyone I am still a lover of botanicals.#I had a blast with the symbolism for this one:#White lilium longiflorum (easter lily) for rebirth. Purple hyacinthus orientalis for sorrow and forgiveness.#Red spider lily (Lycoris radiata) for loss and death.#'Rebirth into something new' is so well done in Dungeon Meshi. She is back but she is not the same.#The last few episodes/chapters gives her this dreamy quality to her. As if she's not quite real. She's so perfect in their memories.#And as we know of dreams - no matter how sweet- they must end once we wake up.#It is so painful to lose someone twice. To see someone you loved in a dream and wake up and remember that loss again.#Dungeon Meshi being a grief allegory is important to me. I'll explain more as the story continues B'*)

I started watching Code Geass and Suzaku immediately jumped up into my top list of favorite fictional characters

#yugioh #yugioh vrains #yusaku fujiki #code geass #suzaku kururugi #the show reminds me a lot of vrains where a lot of people are selfish with clashing ideals and are taking extreme measures to change things #suzaku is like takeru with some yusaku mixed #lelouch is like ryoken and season 3 ai #cc is similar to ai #i could continue my parallels ramble but ill stop at that #also Suzakus seiyuu is Ai and Kallens seiyuu is one of revolvers knights Baira #art

people using he/him pronouns for wembley electra will forever piss me off. they’re the one iteration of electra that CANONICALLY uses they/them. even motherfucking greaseball doesn’t misgender them like come on.

#im not sure if post-2018 bochum electra uses they/them too because i don’t speak german and havent found much information on it #but like guys. come on. its not that damn hard #sorry this just really makes me mad #i know some of the actors use he/him but not all of them do and wembley electra as a character uses they/them #ugh.#we get canonical nonbinary rep in a show and some people just wanna continue using he/him for them and ignoring the rep we have #electra the electric engine #electra the engine of the future #starlight express #stex #stex london 2024 #stex revival #also like btw im not going into peoples posts and attacking them over this #and im not encouraging that anyone does that either just like remind them that wembley electra uses they/them #but it still makes me mad how many people i see do this (especially people who got into the show bc of the revival)

tiny little thing but i adore the fact that they don’t edit out vessel’s breaths in the recordings

hearing a vocalist breathe while they’re singing is one of my all time favourite things. just makes it all feel like so much more to me. feels more real. grounded. authentic.

#ramble on exie #sleep token #idk i’ve always been in love with the sound of breathing (within reason- some of it is annoying lmao)#but nothing gets me hooked on a song faster than using breaths to accentuate #or even just leaving it in because they needed a breath to continue singing #it lets me know where to take a break and does wonders for me figuring out structure #but it also just. reminds you that they’re human. and alive and sharing their gifts

i'm moving cities and let my life drawing group know that this week would be my last class, and they all clubbed together to surprise me with a going-away present (fancy oil pastels and a sketchbook) and baked me three (3!!!!) different cakes and someone brought in a big pot of homemade hummus and someone else gave me some tiny succulent plants that she had propagated from her big succulent plant and i am feeling, Some Kind of Way about it,

#continually knocked for six by the reminder that people actually think about me when i am not around #be shh now
