Fun question: Pick five random champions and take them on a road trip. Do they make it to their destination?
im back from the dead

OKAY This is funny and in order to make it completely random i'll let this league randomizer pick the champions.
So we got: Akali (Oh no) / Gragas / Leona (Mother of the team so far) / Shyvana / Caitlyn.
Okay this is an interesting group and there's more girls i have imagined.
Alright, so, roadtrip. On car. I assume we are talking in a very funny scenario of champions being their clunky selves but with a nowdays car wich is already amusing.
Leona drives clearly, she's responsible, she's a bit of a mom. She has the playful snarkyness and the responsability.
Gragas and Caitlyn argued about getting the copilot seat but Leona ended up picking Gragas.
Gragas IS a passanger princess. He would listen to the gossip, talk gossip about freljordian comrades. He would point to take the left path and then get it wrong so they have to pull back. He eats the snackies and then fall asleep for the 80% of the trip. A true king in my eyes.
Akali is of course the child of married couple in this situation. The 'are we there yet?' 'Im hungry'. Shyvana would try to be modest, not participating much in conversation and trying not to be a bother. Caitlyn is the polite towards the rest of them but Akali rubs her the wrong way wich might make her increase her voice tone. Basically sisters coded. Shyvana being the old sister coded, Caitlyn the middle sister coded and Akali the younger sister coded.
Akali and Caitlyn would fight cause they both want the window seats but Shyvana asked for one of them, eventually she politely agrees to sit on the middle of Akali and Caitlyn.
Here's a small conversation im thinking about:
Akali: God, how long until we get there? We've been here for ages. Leona: I know, i know, but we are almost there. Caitlyn: Leona please slow down, the signs stated a velocity and we are above it. Leona: Oh, right, sorry! Akali: Do not listen to her! There's literally no one on the road we can speed up, it wont do harm! Caitlyn: God you're not only absolutely annoying but you also dont respect authority.
Akali: Fuck your authority you dont even respect it how am i supossed to take you seriously? Caitlyn: Me?! Akali: Because your thing with Vi was surely super legal... Caitlyn, visibly flustered: That's not-!
Gragas, quickly turning his head back to the backseats: Wait what's between you and Vi? I think i fell asleep during the explaination of that.
Leona: Akali, please be respectful, authority and legality are a bit flimsy in Runeterra and there's nothing bad with wanting to endorse it...
Akali: Well, you could say that, assuming your thing with Diana was also not forbidden and that you were'nt breaking any type of rule...? Gragas, quickly turning to Leona: Diana and you what? Im so lost.
Leona, gritting her teeth: How about we all stop talking for a bit and i put some music on the radio... Akali, turning to Shyvana: Arent YOU going to say anything?
Shyvana, on a low voice: Well... I guess what matters is that we arrive safely, i dont mind lowering the speed... Caitlyn: See! She's in my side! Your argumentation is weak!
Akali: Of course i asked damn Jarvan IV girlfriend...
Shyvana, flustered: Prince Jarvan and I's relationship is entirely professional...
Akali: Professional my ass! Gragas: HOLD UP. Please summarize every single ship is happening here cause im not understanding.
Caitlyn: ...whats a ship?
Gragas: Oh like... when two people have like... romantic tension and you think they're a couple...?
Shyvana: Gragas? Could you pass me some chips?
Gragas, handing Shyv a bag of chips.
Shyvana: Oh these are good, what flavour are they?
Gragas, looking at the back of the package: Mustard. Braum recomended me these he said they tasted great.
Shyvana: ...
Caitlyn: What?
Shyvana: Im allergic. Allergic to mustard.
Leona, quickly stopping the car and putting her shield up: COVER UP, QUICK!
Shyvana transforms into a dragon, breaking the car from the inside as she becomes bigger in size.
So... To answer the question: Would they make it to their destination?
Yes. Most likely. Not by car anymore though.
#okay this took longer to write than expected#i didnt know dear god iluminated me to make a silly dialog#silly question deserved a silly response#silly in a good way ofc#super cool ask thank you SO much it was very fun#<3#league of legends#akali#shyvana#caitlyn#gragas#leona

sin eater
#sorry its been a minute!!! the horrors. you understand.#anyways yall ready for another gloom tag essay because here we go!!!#im constantly thinking about the ramifications of uzi literally eating cyn and her now being apart of her.#specifically how it impacts uzi mentally. like dgmw i LOVE the silly cyntail shenanigans in fanart (ive also contributed to this) however#when i really think about it in relation to uzi's arc i go crazy insane#uzi is a character who is grasping for control after a lifetime of not having it.#she has no control over how her peers treat her. she has no control over khan neglecting her for reasons that arent her fault.#she quite literally has no control over the solver taking her over and making her do monstrous things against her will#which solidifies her feelings of being a freak monster who everyone was right to outcast and mistreat.#because im Unwell i interpret her calling herself god as a way to convince herself of having control- and to lock away feelings of impurity#if anyone is in control- if anyone is loved and cherished despite any and all wrong doings- its a god.#and that all comes to a head when she eats the heart of cyn thereby destroying the AS- a literal manifestation of a corrupted god- for good#finally taking back control from the entity that had been terrorizing and traumatizing both her and her loved ones. but did she really?#cyn is apart of her now. powerless sure- but that doesnt take away the horrors she wrought previously#and even so- has uzi ever stopped being just a host? do you think shes terrified of cyn regaining power out of the blue?#do you think uzi ever stops feeling like a monster?#“sin eating” was a thing that happened where someone would consume ritual foods to take on the sins of a recently deceased person#thus absolving said deceased person of any sins and putting them onto the sin eater. being a sin eater ensured eternal damnation.#and i just think about that a lot. when applying that (symbolically ofc(somewhat literally. she very much is a cyn eater)) to what uzi did.#“gloom you're reading way too much into this” THE LITTLE GOTH ROBOT. MAKES ME INSANE IN THE HEAD. OK!!!!!#gloom.art#murder drones#murder drones fanart#murder drones uzi#uzi murder drones#uzi doorman#uzi md#md uzi#uzi fanart

i think gojo would be TERRIBLE at any type of imposter game. like those mafia games or among us etc etc. HE WOULD SUCKKK. he has never won a single game. ever. he just gets so excited whenever he's The Bad Guy and he gets this glint in his eyes and it just makes it so fucking obvious that he's the one lmao. and then he's soooooo sad when he loses:(((( like c'mon guys how'd you know it was me:(((( BE SERIOUSSSS YOU LITERALLY WENT "MWAHAHAHA" WHEN THE GAME BEGAN???????????????????? he's stupid i can't believe i love him
#btw haibara is the best player#shoko and suguru are ofc very good but since they are so good they are just immediately on the radar anyway#haibara kind of laughs his way through and everybody is like?????#super fucking confused#even when he's stuttering out a “i-i'm not the impostor” with a sheepish grin??????????#idk he's way too good at it it's a bit scary#nanami is kind of good too he just doesn't play that often#for obvious reasons#but the killer duo happends to be him and haibara they've already won#nanami might even take the bullet in order to make sure that they win#letting haibara convince gojo that he is in fact the killer (while simultaneously making sure that gojo thinks that haibara is his friend)#mwhahahahha#silly silly guys#btw ppl always assume that i am the One whenever i play it..... i still win thoughh hiihihihi#mickey is daydreaming#angel boy#gojo satoru#gojo satoru headcanons

What's up @glass-oranges I was your pinch hitter for @portal-secret-santa !!!! I was so excited when I got assigned to you like fuck yes that's my oomfie :D
I loved your idea of Atlas and P-body and Chell hanging out on the surface and ofc I had to draw your designs for the co-op bots :3
Chell never signed up for robot babysitting duty, she's not getting paid enough for this.... actually she didn't sign up for anything and she's not getting paid at all
#portal#portal 2#portal secret santa#atlas#p-body#chell#my art#the screenshot is from a very silly map called no money for chambers 1#which involves the co-op bots so ofc it was the only correct choice#i tend to spend.... way too long trying to find good maps to get screenshots fnvnfjhvfkvnfdnc

tulaytullah — a quaint, yet humble kingdom situated alongside the seaside that thrives with splendor throughout the day before retreating to its tranquility beneath the moonlight, like that of a soothing lullaby playing from a music box.
upon first glance, it appears like nothing more than your everyday kingdom. but, should you be drawn in by its radiant beauty, you’ll quickly come to learn that this place harbors much more beneath the surface — a bewitching charm unlike no other. from its strong-willed citizens to the veiled omnipresence of an eccentric god whose wisdom stretches beyond eternity, tulaytullah is a treasure trove of rich tales and ancient mysteries.
a majority of that can be ascribed to the ever-so benevolent rulers of the kingdom. these days they are far too occupied with caring for their newborn child and thus, finding a moment to speak with them is rare. before, the palace’s gates were always opened for the public to enter, allowing all the opportunity to stroll through the gardens, courtyards, and even the very halls themselves if they so pleased. transparency between a ruler and their people is of utmost importance to the king and queen, who have managed to achieve just that while also finding a good balance for privacy when needed. a commendable feat, especially for individuals such as them who could not be more different from one another.

collected stories.
tender moments of clandestine. ⋆˚࿔ the orchard of pairidaeza.
tales of the omnipresent god, kunikuzushi. ⋆˚࿔ the challenge.

I said it before and I will say it again that Wicked from Boq's perspective is so funny and ofc tragic like everyone else because he goes from liking this one girl to being stuck in a situation with another who becomes the Wicked Witch of the East and takes the rights of him and his people. Then to save his life he is irrevocably changed by the Wicked Witch of the West, (possibly bc book canon?) achildhood friend just to find out that his other college crush ran off from Glinda to be with the Wicked Witch of the West and then died??
He assumes the identity of just the Tin Man, cries and rusts,is found by a kid and a Scarecrow. Probably thinks okay it's fine I could have this romance with the Scarecrow kind of seems similar to me (the vibes of u were not always like this like me) and having to take care of a little girl from a star and a Lion that is afraid of everything. And then finding out that the wizard that everyone holds in high regard is a fake after killing The Witch and then going off with a musical timeline presumably being stuck just with the Lion and possibly Glinda the only other person that knows that also does not know like that is so wild
#boq#boq crashing out#lwky he has become my lil meow meow that faces the horrors like musical!boq ily book!boq annoyed 14yo me sm idk why#like the way no good deed went unpunished for anyone in the show is wild n to think that he probably does have complicated feelings-#but isnt able to yk rlly feel them out bc nessa took his heart and being changed beyond recognition in an effort to save him#i hope they flesh that out in part 2 bc literally if anyone else should crash out its boq like its wild#mixing tincrow w/wicked is again funny n tragic tge thought of boq/tinman being aight at least i have u...where'd he go?#he is a silly lil guy all of them are to me but complex too like its wild#i do think boq mourns the thropp sisters and fiyero and himself/glinda to an extent bc of how their friendship/love ended#after time ofc i think once he had beeb able if not feel then process everything bc act 2 is like speedrun love the songs but wow sm happen#anyways

art is fucking stupid. objectively it should be easier to draw one species (human) than to learn how to draw several mammal species and adapt them to a bipedal stance. so why have i hated most of the human art ive done the past few months. make it make sense
#text#ughhhh ive been telling myself to just wait this out and ill be good at humans again soon enough#but im TIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#need to brute force myself into remembering how to draw humans consistently in a way i like soon#like ofc i enjoy making furry art. i think its pretty evident. but oh my god i miss being able to draw a Guy#aaaauuuuuggghghfhfhhfhfhg#most of the human drawings i have liked have been in my “silly style” which is very geometric so maybe i have to lean into that#idfk i just need to figure it out already#posting this when i have a human drawing coming up on tuesday is kinda funny but thats like 1/100 that i actually like

the thing about bbc merlin is that in many ways it is very tragic, in the sense that so much bad shit that happens could have easily been avoided if charcters had made different choices, hadn't been so wrapped up in prophecies, had trusted people and communicated openly literally ever, just generally got their heads out of their asses. like i know thats the point, they are trying so hard to do the right things and protect people but the story is unavoidable. HOWEVER it is all soooo fucking poorly executed that none of it is effective. so instead of thinking "wow what a tragic story about fate/destiny/whatever" you walk away like "well that fucking sucked for no reason. i hate that fuckass dragon" and i sometimes feel very cinemasins in the way i pick apart the logic but the thing is the show is written in a way that makes the characters come off as so stupid and always making terrible choices rather than like. tragic victims of circumstance.
#GOD i hate that fucking dragon#just rewatched the first mordred episode this show is so dumbbbbb#it IS often dumb in a fun campy silly way#it is MORE often dumb in a this is bad writing way#the thing that infuriates me about this episode/story is like#okay its one thing to do a story about the inevitability of a prophecy even when you try to avoid it#but thats not whats happening here#because the dragon who TELLS him the future is like. and you can stop it! by killing him!#and its like okay so the future CAN be changed. by killing a child.#but not by changing the circumstances that lead him to kill arthur in the first place#like obviously later on when that fear is what drives merlin to tell arthur magic should stay forbidden#HE IS SO DUMBBB STOP LISTENING TO THAT DRAGON#like obviously if arthur wasn't persecuting his people he wouldn't want to kill arthur......#banning magic didn't kill mordred the first time why would it work later..............#and ofc morgana worst written character of all time#its like they want to give these villains sympathetic backstories but forget that they need to end up villains#i dont remember as much about whats next for mordred but like#with morgana she is defined by her goodness!! anger towards uther and even arthur is one thing#but it is so clear that the one thing she would never do is harm her people#and they said oops how do we get out of this one. give her a weird incest thing with her secret sister who turned her suuuper evil offscree#r.txt#merlin

So like love rivals, okay. You know the type, hyperfeminine alpha bitch that cares too much about her appearance (unlike the protag who is beautiful but doesn't care about it or doesn't care too much and is just feminine enough because god forbid we have an actually gnc woman as protagonist). My problem is that I watched Lizzie McGuire at a tender, very impressionable age and my favorite episodes where the ones that dealt with Lizzie and Kate's estranged friendship and gave the later some depth (they should kiss btw) it wasn't perfect but I was like 5 and it was something.
I do love a vain character, so this is an archetype I gravitate towards. And like I don't actually expect them to get rehabilitated every time, there are awful women who weaponize their femininity irl, it's a whole thing. But by god, the misogyny and double standards that usually surround these characters are uh, bad, really bad.
I watched Sugar Apple Fairy Tale (don't, its handling of slavery is not good), and naturally, my favorite character was Bridget bc she was far more interesting than anyone else. Like yeah, coercing Challe into being her slave is horrible, but there was something about the resentment she felt at her own gender-derived powerlessness and how she misdirected it at another woman because she gets to have what she doesn't and it isn't fair, and how she consoles herself by exerting power over the only person she can have power. You could really do something interesting with that and talk about systemic issues but instead she just kept being portrayed as spoiled and naive with barely any judgment passed on the people that put her into this situation. She's still portrayed with sympathy, but her potential is entirely wasted. And I cannot stress enough that as bad as her actions are, when the men around her take Challe away from her they still hold him hostage so Anne will be forced to help them. They do not see Challe as any more of a person than Brigett does and yet the narrative portrays them in a far better light.
In my perception manganime is more willing to throw this type of character as bone than in anglo media, which kinda make sense given than making friends with rivals in general shows up in all kinds of genres. Even so, it just doesn't feel like enough. Not to say that stuff that does right by this kind of character doesn't exist and I definitely need to check out more but you have to sit through so much
Which leads me to my point, which is that I would expect the villianess genre to be the perfect ground to explore this kind of character and the misogyny attached to it but it just... doesn't do that. Even when it'sa yuri. We get some stuff about how the villianess is misunderstood but that's kind of it??? And he worst ones just cast Someone Else (usually the original game protag) as The Bitch whixj is like... okay, there's no subversion here. You just wrote a typical romance plot. Like maybe it's because it's too focused on an hyperspecific character archetype that doesn't actually exist so it has nothing to build on, but aaaaah. There has to be one that does what I want, there has to.
Anyway, I'm only rambling and don't really have a point except that Princess Tutu is the best anime ever made and why am I looking for more stuff when Princess Tutu already exists.
#akuyaku reijou no oyome sama is looking good even if the sister character ends up being bland#the protagonist is actually cunning and hey wolfgirl yuri#but i looked at what else the author has done and read up two anthologies on villainess yuri and i'm dissapointed yet again#look i love bakarina but that one is doing something completely different#and i'm in love with the villainess is like#it wants to both be a silly romance comedy with the usual tropes and a dissertation on queer identity at the same time#in ways that just don't mix#like claire being called out on her homophobia at bein wary of rae just bc she's a lesbian would be something#if rae wasn't always a creep towards her making the whole point moot#like do i take this seriously or not#it's also kinda boring ngl#anyway another one of my favorite characters in this vain is ami from toradora#but like that one is a shounen and i just really want female oriented media to do better#ofc we can't forget the absolute queen Nanami
