Wouldn't it be the funniest, most amazing thing ever if in season 6, after all the character exposition, and the both direct and indirect references to several characters pasts, and after all the complexity introduced to the plot and to the immersive world...

The show just..

Just went back to being "villain of the week" and episodic, with the biggest concern being Marinette's zany plan for how she's going to give Adrien his half-birthday gift, and how Jagged Stone got akumatized for stubbing his toe

And Adrien and us the viewer are just there. Just like, standing in the eye of the hurricane, thinking everything is fine, but in actuality are surrounded by the destruction and mess of the storm to come

I must ask: why are you drawing with your non-dominant hand? (The drawings are coming out fantastic too!)

Good question (and thank you so much!! <33)

A few days ago I made it a personal challenge to draw with my non-dominant (left) hand every day for 7 days, so I opened my asks for mutuals to send requests! I’m experiencing pain in my right hand (my main one <\3), so I wanted to see if I could even draw with leftie. It’s been a serious test of patience (try not to crash out challenge) but I’m getting there! It’s comforting to know that if anything were to happen to one hand, I could continue art with the other.

Take some drawings of concept art Eret from day 2 for your troubles, literally I just opened the httyd 2 book and copied the face studies by Nico Marlet (I’m a really big fan of his art style!!). I was really just trying to figure out how the concept artists drew him so I could steal, I swear I can never figure out his face

This might be a bit random but would you say you have any thoughts on Neurodivergent readings of Zhongli (more specifically autistic)? I was thinking about it in the latest chapter of JG amd even before then too. as an autistic person myself i feel he reads very heavily as such, especially when talking about his human mask and feeling like he doesn't need to force it as much with childe, and his issues with human expression in smiling etc. but I think it's then an interesting debate between that and the fact that, well, he's just not human. that all comes from a place of being an entirely different species, unevolved and unrelated to human brains and how they think and read social patterns, and I feel we don't really have any way of telling if ZL has any divergent tendencies among dragons right? and even then he's half, too, so that affects things.

anyway sorry for the ramble I was mainly wondering if you had any opinions on the matter, or if you intended the parallels I definitely see while reading your Zhongli! love your work as always <3333

i think i might've commented on this at some point but never directly, so here – i do have thoughts on the matter!

as you mentioned, it's difficult to tell with characters that aren't human, because you can't call something 'neurodivergent' if the bases for their neurotypical-ity are not the ones by which we measure this stuff. so, to me, ALL non-human characters are neurodivergent-coded. they may not be neurodivergent, technically speaking (like how you mentioned, maybe all dragons are just like zl), but to us, they read as such. so, coded. ultimately i do think there is merit in labeling them as neurodivergent because, even if they, again, technically aren't; we are going to run into problems if we attempt to treat them as neurotypical, so we might as well say yeah, neurodivergent. it is also kinda correct anyway – they do diverge from us. that's a fact. it's like saying dogs are colorblind. if all dogs see in the same range, then you can't say your dog in specific is colorblind (unless it actually is but that's beside the point); but compared to us, from our perspective, for what it matters to us and how that will translate into how we treat them then yes! dogs are colorblind! i think i mentioned it once in conjunction with characters like alhaitham. to me, zhongli is neurodivergent-coded, while alhaitham is neurodivergent straight-up. because (as far as we know) he's human, so his brain should, in theory, be like ours.

as for which flavor of neurodivergency zl is coded to have in specific i would agree with you on autism! but then again, i'm not an expert on these things, i don't know the exact ins and outs and the specific characteristics that constitute an autistic character – i just write them the way i perceive them, with the quirks i perceive them to have. not to get preachy but i think that's the better way to write characters in general, since that's how real people work, after all. people with autism aren't born fitting some parameters that will make them autistic – they're born with specific quirks that we then interpret as autism, and even then you don't necessarily get two people having the exact same experience with this. most of these terms are umbrella terms regardless as to how well-defined or how big or small the umbrella is.

so yeah!

obsessed with arthur parnassus. if you raise enough children it will undo what was done to you. if you save enough people you will never have to think about the fact that no one will ever save you. if you ever allow yourself to want something you will literally burst into flames and you will destroy everything. your desire is literally lethal. if you ever allow yourself to feel anything you will destroy yourself. if you feel any of it— the rage, the fear, the wanting, it will consume you and it will burn you to ash inside. it will burn everything around you. the fire in your chest is literal fire and it is bubbling inside you and it never quiets and it never slows and if you let it out for even a second you will kill everyone. you have so much to be angry about but if you let yourself feel it for even a moment it will take over you and you will immediately prove that you deserved all of it.

I've often said Bell's Hells are my favorite because it's just a bunch of queer characters with mommy and daddy issues and now Dorian has been added to that group

I think I look a lot more androgynous than I give myself credit for.

developing post-pilot qpr nuzi living in my brain Always this week it seems. post-pilot uzi coming to the equally comedic and horrifying realization that she could point her new monster bestie at anyone and he’d go ‘okie dokie! :D’ and then kill/eat them (because if canon is gonna dog-code the biomechanical nightmarebot im gonna take that and RUN with it).

The aforementioned flying teenage people-eater is eager and wants to be a good person So Bad but the person he’s mirroring his moral compass off of while he reorients his own moral compass- which is suffering from ‘natural predator of Worker Drone people and also memory banks is scrambled egg’- is perhaps the planet’s most deranged teenage girl. why are they so hilarious. for what reason.

Woops my hand slipped-

I adore all the dragons in Lego Ninjago, so here's the Ultra Dragon! I think I've seen people discuss that the bones of this dragon were used to make a throne... which I hope not :(

Do you guys ever think about how selfish Boss is in that one ending?

Underworld office spoilers bellow c:

In the monster ending I firmly belive that Boss did not need to seal Eugene.

In that ending, Eugene kills Jack because they dont know what else to do. They wanted to help the kids, hated Jack, and felt bad for the mother (plus susan's grudge was still present in the room). It wasnt like Eugene was going to go on a killing spree, hurting anyone they saw after that. If Boss and River talked with them and calmed them down, Eugene wouldnt hurt anyone. He just wanted to help the kids, as they reminded him of his own life. (Incase you dont know, it was confirmed by Buff studios that Eugenes mom died and their dad is absent). In addition to this, when playing through that ending, before Boss seals Eugene, Eugene tries to speak and explain themself. But they are cut off by Boss.

So, why did Boss seal Eugene? Because he felt guilty. Eugene is basically like a son to Boss. So when Eugene turned into a monster, Boss felt incredibly guilty that he let this happen. So instead of helping Eugene, Boss sealed them away. I think its obvious from Charlie in Underworld, but Boss usually deals with conflict and problems by ignoring or pushing them away. So thats exactly what he did with monster Eugene. Boss would rather deal with the guilt of what he has done than actually try to fix things.

In conclusion, Boss is messed up 👍

When I was little I used to love playing this game called Wolfquest. It was an educational wolf simulator that taught you about Yellowstone ecology and wolves (obviously). Anyway over the past few years they completely rehauled it and added a whole second half to the game so I decided to pick it up again and GUYS

I am so so so so normal about it

On the topic of Cas' confession being addressed/not being addressed. I was thinking about how they would go about a kiss scene that feels natural to the show that has passionately denied anything Gay between them until now.

So: what if they showed a destiel kiss on screen, but it wasn't their first kiss? If Dean knew and understood Cas' confession to be romantic, and they had already been established as basically married in the later seasons, who's to say they haven't kissed before hand? Like, supernatural doesn't really focus on unrequited love/miscommunication in new relationships - but it lovesss established relationships that are doomed due to external forces (ex. Sam and Jess, Bobby and Karen, Jimmy and Amelia, etc etc). I'm picturing Cas being rescued by his family+friends and once everyone settles down, Dean just smiles his 'welcome home' smile and gives him a sweet peck instead of a pat on the cheek. And that's it.

If the tragedy came from their love being doomed by Chuck/the plot, not miscommunication and a lack of action, then it both fits established relationships in the show and takes away responsibility of supernatural of acknowledging they were gay all along. Basically along the lines of Cas textually acknowledging that He Is In Love With Dean, but not having to do anything else about it bc its all just confirming things from the past.

Also. The fan response would be insane if it wasn't explained further right away. Over a decade of build up for a confusing confession followed by immediate death followed by a quick unexplained kiss? All the build up people were expecting popped AGAIN - was it a pity smooch? Are they gaslighting us?? Platonic kiss on the lips? Mass hallucination? Take your pick!
