YIPPPEEEE I LOVE OPINIONS but this time its actually going in the tags, length be damned
Alright. We’re settling this discourse once and for all.
In the tags, tell me your opinion on:
Mayonnaise
Frozen Yogurt
Salt and Vinegar Chips
Sweet Potatoes
Kiwi
Ginger Ale
Microwave Ramen
#Mayo is okay. tastes good but the texture is too slippery#it IS a vital ingredient in my fav spinach dip tho#so extra points for that#i haven't had frozen yogurt since my 8th grade graduation#so i can't really weigh in#it's very much a delicacy and a hell of a treat in my household#salt and vinegar chips are PEAK chip#ESPECIALLY when they're kettle cooked#the level of crunch and painful splintery chip matches the delicuous pain of the flavor#10/10 the pain is a feature not a flaw#i hate sweet potatoes 99% of the time. i'll eat them if i have to but they WILL be smothered in condiments to hide from the taste#do NOT cook with them#baked or fried ONLY#white ladies are NOT to be trusted around them i fear#i tried kiwi ONCE and never again. so much work for such a mid taste and horrific texture#Ginger ale is good#but i only ever have it when im sick#massive props for being one of the better things to regurgitate at 3am tho#better than sprite for that reason#sprite is too sweet to be doing all that

Happy Moon Festival! 🌕
there's a bunch of holidays today, Mid-Autumn Festival, Tsukimi, Chuseok and more! all dated on the day of the brightest full moon!
and since i had some time, i thought i'd draw all my moons and some yummy festival sweets (all prepared by chef Moon of course!)
some intros to all the moons and the dishes below the cut
some intros:
Moonie's from my chibi AU, "Rain or Shine". a rambunctious little guy who loves playing with his Sunny
Moondrop's from my hairdresser AU, "New 'Do, Same You". a Moon in a glamrock-style casing, who's pretty chill but insecure
Mooncake's from my restaurant AU, "Have You Eaten?" a hopeless romantic chef who loves cooking yummy foods!
13's from my dystopian AU. he's a sheltered, naive little Moon bot who is curious to learn about the world outside the palace
Miel is from my idol AU. she's an ex-Moon bot, turned nanny bot, turned rapper of an idol duo (she sings too tho!)
and the menu:
tsukimi dango are plain Japanese dumplings made of rice flour and glutinous rice flour, resembling the full moon
mooncakes are Chinese treat with various skins and fillings, but traditionally they are a pastry filled with lotus seed paste and a salted duck egg yolk to resemble the full moon
songpyeon are a Korean rice cake with various types of fillings—red beans, dates, sesame seeds, honey, and more!
#fnaf moon#fnaf dca#dca fandom#Moon Rain or Shine AU#Moon New Do Same You AU#Moon Have You Eaten? AU#13 dystopian AU#Miel idol AU#crab art#digital art#bright colours#all my moons 🥰#Mooncake is glowing because himbo Moondrop is lifting him up like he weighs about 3 grapes#boi i'd be glowing too#funny thing is#Moondrop and Moonie can't eat#so the other three will have to eat everything#or invite their Suns and Eclipses#i really gotta draw my suns and eclipses some time#this was fun#admittedly the Moons are the most chill around each other#the Suns are mixed bag but they'd be congenial together#the Eclipses...#they get a little chaotic 😅#all the my Eclipses are different levels of extreme#extreme silly extreme flirty extreme danger extreme handsome#i love them all 🥰

Would kill to read animal POV fiction that has the animal POV’s interaction with humans be like, semi realistic to the level of caution most predators take with large prey and/or competitors (including humans).
Like instead of the usual - “the human is such a weak, pathetic creature... so slow, no claws, blunt teeth… completely helpless without its 'Fire Sticks'. how is it the master of the earth?” type crap it’s like, the bear protagonist or whatever approaches some dude who spreads their arms and yells and the bear is like “FUUUUUUUUCK THAT THING JUST GOT HUGE. IT'S LARGE AND MAKING NOISES. HOLY FUCK.”
#A lot of this realm of fiction tends to severely overestimate how physically weak humans are in the grand scheme of things..#A human body ft. no tools has a pretty average level competency at escaping predation. WITH tools it's significantly above average.#Like a lot of human physiology IS the way it is because of reliance on tool/fire use but interspecies competition/predation is really not#a literal battle won by physical strength + teeth + claws (at least until the actual process of killing)#Intimidation and shows of strength/threatening behavior can go a long way. Healthy predators (who aren't unnaturally#accommodated to humans) are generally going to be cautious and may avoid confrontations they absolutely COULD win because#the risk of injury is judged as too high#And most animals can't weigh risks in the most objective manner and won't understand that you aren't any 'bigger' just because you#wave your arms and yell. That is why puffing up/spreading out as a threat display is so ubiquitous in nature.#Massive tangent but this is why I fucking loved Prehistoric Planet so much like the commitment to having its dinosaurs behave like#actual animals is fantastic and tragically rare#Like having a scene where a T Rex gets bullied away from a carcass by two much smaller azhdarchids.. Yeah that is probably#how it would behave. It's not a mindless killing machine it's an animal so is going to avoid confrontations it deems too risky even if it#WOULD win in an all out brawl. thank you so fucking muych.

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ
.
#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so!#it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat#Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case#I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does#I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature#and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame#I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing#sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird#but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work#and how they shape things they come in contact with#in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character#and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know#answered#kachavashka#Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name#I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

to be, or not to be (romanticization of the inevitable)
#ray's tag#keys' art#undescribed#skeletons#ok to reblog#the skeleton model that i traced for this was provided by the incredible kiku @kikunai whom you can find right here on tumblr!#so uh. This is a piece about chronic fatigue although the original idea i had for it drifted a bit as soon as I started coloring the linear#(i really enjoy shading and lighting things and got a bit carried away here but i stand by my choice because this is my favorite thing#that i've ever drawn)#anyways. i often feel especially lately with school being back in season that my bones are leaden with this sort of. weariness. theyre heav#it weighs on our mental health and energy a lot and although there's a couple of reasons we have been given for it#that doesn't remove the fact that this is still a thing that affects us in a very real way day to day although we are good at masking it.#often i come home to find that i do not have the physical mental or creative energy to work on things i really want to#especially project: nexus which i feel extra bad about even though i can't help it because i just started it so recently#it is a mild to moderate struggle to make it day to day and i just. wanted to represent this somehow#my original concept for this was a skeleton with some black goop gunk whatever leaking from its joints#but as i started adding the cracks and coloring them gold (a personal touch; kintsugi is a concept that is very dear to us)#i realized that the focus here was less on the condition itself and more on the body that it afflicts.#so i put it into a spotlight.#ironic i know since very little people acknowledge this irl or even know it exists at all but i added rim lighting. I added color gradients#I colored the lineart and made it all fancy and even added a flare for the head to get the point across that even at its core; disability i#a performance. this is not implying that disabilities are fake in fact this is the opposite of that. i wanted to show that with disabilitie#especially i think in my personal opinion the invisible ones#we are all masking at least a little bit during the vast majority of the day. humans are social creatures and it is only when we are alone#or with someone we deeply trust where we allow ourselves to be who we truly are without fear and even then that can be rare#so i wanted to show this bit of the soul in as broad a limelight as i could. idk this is a really abstract piece and i dont know if anyone#will even get it but it matters to me at least. and even though we've been largely bedridden for the past week i think that's okay#we will get it figured out. all of us. okay? okay. i love you. i fucking love you. we are going to fucking make it#(also the xes over the eyes are because i thought they looked cool they have no deeper meaning at least i think they dont#actually i think they do but i cant put it into words idk. Art is subjective assign your own meaning i'm gonna go get a shower)

just out of curiosity: for friends and followers with schizophrenia, psychosis, or any other mental disorder causing delusions/hallucinations, how do you feel about suitcase ii being a representation of that?
ii doesn't have the best track record for mental disorder representation as it is (cough cough paper cough cough bomb cough cough cabby), so i have reason to be skeptical about suitcase... from my perspective, as someone without any such disorder, the handling of her mental disorder is unnuanced but well-intentioned at best, and a tacky, cliched attempt to create drama at worst. but i'd like to hear what other people think! thank you!
#melonposting#inanimate insanity#ii#ii suitcase#<- maintagging only to get more perspectives! :)#i don't think her writing is malicious at all. but it does seem pretty stereotyped#i think it has been utilized in interesting ways both for suitcase as a character and for the narrative as a whole#especially when her visions were juxtaposed to mephone's flashbacks in ii13. i think that was really fascinating#but the very fact that it's some *ambiguous* delusion/hallucination disorder makes it seem like... a way to stir the pot as it were?#like they made her have her own reality-questioning issues just to make the whole existential threat of late ii2 more dramatic?#which admittedly ties into people's critique of cabby's memory issues being used to foreshadow everyone's lack of backstory before ii#and that critique is understandable. but i don't feel like her mental disorder was written explicitly for that purpose#but as someone with memory issues myself i can weigh in on that#i don't have a mental disorder like suitcase's so i can't know how nuanced her writing really is#and so i'm more likely to err on the side of caution in her case#but anyway... yeah :]

Hi guys, this is usually what a doodle page ends up looking like <3 (oh, and @ancha-aus thought you might like this! Not writing but certainly fuel to my fire lol-)
This one is New Age filled!!! (Close-ups abd Lore beneath the cut!)
1) Night and Cross!
Night is actually very clingy once he's a teen. He doesn't usually realize it, but around the castle he'll snake to be closer to his Knights so long as there's no one he needs to keep his composure infront of is nearby. Cross is the one who's not used to physical touch (when it's not Ink ofc) so Night in his personal bubble makes his heart melt but also scares tf out of him <3
2) Error and Night's Meeting!
Error was carrying his whole life on his back and trying not to get arrested for unintentional property damage at this point, so when he saw the chance to get back at his brother and prove he was strong enough? Yeah, he got that on chance instantly. And was VERY smug when Nightmare chose him. (Also, Error is wearing gloves, so less Haphephobia)
3) Dream and Blue designs!
I think these are good tentative designs! Dream probably has a more regal fit, but he likes to play up that rugged exile look- He's inspired by Archers, while Blue takes on that classic Knightly-vibe. Their equipment is mostly stolen from Night's troops or brought with them from Blue's home kingdom.
Also, Dream is approx Killer's height at this point, shorter than Cross and *much* shorter than Apple!Nightmare. (Hc that Skeletons tend to be tinier in stature thanks to weird monster beauty standards. Horror and Geno's fam are outliers.)
4) Horror and Dust designs!
Horror is naturally a very *large* monster. He's very malnourished when Nightmare meets him, but by the time he's a Knight Nightmare has made sure that's no longer the case. He actually loves comfy, simple clothes, but to play up the whole 'strong mysterious' bit he wears a more barbaric Knight's garb. He doesn't mind acting scary, it's more fun that way :]. Dust is very very small, and envies horror sometimes for his size, but his tiny stature let's him control his body and move a lot quicker. He's very much based on a rogue, and usually covers the lower part of his face w/ a black cloth, and the upper part w/ his hood or mask. Dust only removes both to bathe, eat, or relax in a safe location. (Ignore that I can't draw the stupid gaster blaster lmao-)
These last two were space-fillers, but Cross and his Borzoi (Windmill, otherwise known as Milly (Killer named her-)) and really bad first wips of Ccino! I think Ccino was a chubby, happy toddler, but lost a lot of 'weight' (bone mass? Magic?) due to stress and pressure and bad eating habits. So it isn't until a while after the Coronation that he starts to relax abd feel safe enough to eat normal meals (Nightmare used to guilt him into eating snacks together, but as his boss (and younger brother) he can encourage it more often). By the time Killer shows he's still not quite healthy, but he's better. As more weight is lifted off his shoulders, the better he is. (That 'beauty' most people saw was a more stereotypical slimness, but Killer never stopped seeing Ccino as beautiful-) I think he never looked traditionally underweight, so no one noticed, and it was only much later that Night processed it. (And maybe it's why Dream hardly recognized him later on-)
#new age au#I love showing mundane life things-#and also these designs beamed into my brain#I can't draw Ccino for anything but the others? yeag#Blue is definitely my fave. and just like every au I will draw Blue perfect the first time and draw Dust 6 billion times 😔#Horror is kinda banger too tho#makes me laugh to imagine Horror picking up Dust mid-fight out of convenience and Dust weighs nothing to him#(also this size difference is exactly why Dust and Horror fight in the non-magic training. and why Horror accidentally obliterated his#shoulder later on lmao- Dust needs to be able to dodge any enemy. Horror needs to aim for small and quick targets.)#(Meanwhile Cross is the newest and Killer the oldest and if Cross adapts to Killer then he'll adapt to the others more easily.)#oh! and Ccino w/ his arc? I think I really like the idea of a Ccino with a plump body-type. but that conflicts with my vidion of Ccino kinda#losing track of eating and being co-erced by adults to skip meals just enough to make him the 'right amount' of curvy#so when Nightmare takes over it's a habit he's so used to he hardly notices that he's doing it. but. Night picks up on it because Ccino is#almost akways with him. their relationship is very much Ccino giving his life to help Night#but it's also Night recognizing that and giving it back to Ccino along with more the moment he can#just smth smth this au is full of fit and exercized people and I think Ccino deserves some comfort and healing and positivity <3#also I am SO fond of Nightmare getting up in people's bubbles. he does it most to Killer and Ccino for obvious reasons but#god forbid a noble be talking behind his back because he *will* twist around and shove under his knight's arms or sides just to#read them the riot act or stare them down <3#and I think when he was an adult Night was... kinda like the big brother? like. not an experienced one by any means. but he wasn't *not*#affectionate then either. he was better at being serious about it and more discreet. but like#Nervous Cross escorting him in public? Night nudges his shoulder briefly with a Tendril to try and comfort him. Dust having a magic overload#? personal Training against just Night so there was no risk of harming anyone else. then snacks and tea after.#Horror is homesick? Woah look at that a scheduled trip back to visit with Crop and side-track back to Horror's village? huh?? wild...#Killer upset at all? Night will find a solution. just you wait. a cat. two cats. perhaps even a cat in a little sweater? or y'know. just a#chat or a combat?#Nightmare showed his affections but was just more distant about it.#Oh also. all four were used to tendrils lifting/tugging them subconsciously. usually during trainings to avoid them hurting eachother by#mistake in their early days. Killer misses it sometimes

Okay so I was gonna do a big gush over all the new Bells Hells outfits on the recent cr episode (a surprise since I had expected that they'd show them for the live show), but instead I'm gonna encourage you to check out @agarthanguide who is answering asks about the process of designing them, they're very insightful, and I'm sure they're more than happy to answer more - within reason ofc.
#critical role#cr spoilers#c3e96#bells hells#bell's hells#cr3#cr3 spoilers#sorry for the tag I'm sure you have notifs in the 100s by now#but like there's so much to gush about on these new outfits#and of course my shipper ass can't help but love the smaller details between Ashton and Fearne's outfits#will miss the long coat and the corset but I understand Ashton's desire to distance from the hishari logo - and they do look punk as hell#very surprising to learn that they aren't privy to the episodes ahead of time#though it makes sense for the ones who didn't go into a winter climate to not prep for cold weather XD#true himbo bard and 'clothes will only weigh me down' barbarian behaviour#Laudna looking more like Delilah does show the worrisome furthering of her addiction - plus the birdcage-esque petticoat#Imogen looking really fierce in her design - Letters' dark tones did suit her very well#all the vines from Orym too and so many different flowers for Fearne which I expect represent each of the Hells#I bet there's more to come because of Sam's new PC and the Werewolf form for Chet - but do we also get more Titan form art?#oh wait I'm still gushing! shit my bad (not actually sorry)!

Goddamn this year sucks so hard.
It feels like every month there is another big thing. You think life has finally regulated itself into a normal rhythm? Wrong! TAKE THIS! I can't even recover before another decision has to be made, another heartbreak is around the corner, another situation has to be dealt with that leaves you and dear people in tears.
I had so many plans and ideas for fics, I was so exited to write, I wanted to join in the shenanigans in the fandom, talk to you guys...
Theres.No.Energy.
☔ (this is how I feel, rain constantly pouring down on me)
#there has been some amazing moments too don't get me wrong#I got to meet more people from the fandom#I went on vacations#my bf and I might finally live together in our very own flat#but the other stuff weighs down so much harder#and it hits every aspect of my life too#I can't slow down and take a deep breath it seems#I really can't wait for this year to end honestly#I love you guys still and you're always on my mind#but yeah life is suckerpunching me and I can't focus on my dear blorbos😔

I'm really not sure how I feel about the art direction from the trailer. I know some of the release trailers for past games also looked a little cartoony compared to the final product but. Idk.
#datv#dragon age the veilguard#I watch it once and like it#I watch it again and don't like it#I watch it a third time and do like it#it reminds me massively of the cinematics from Diablo 3????#I know nothing of valorant or Fortnite so I can't really weigh in on those comparisons#but yeah. really not sure how to feel#my post

are you ever so lonely it feels like acid under your skin
#today sucked#i had a good week#i was doing okay#but i got a little too personal talking about something and it all came roaring back#spent an hour or two crying and still don't feel any better#i can't really express how much i want a different life than this#i want to be someone else i want to be SOMEONE at all#days like this feel like I take up no space and weigh nothing and i could just disappear and nothing would change#i hate being so fucking isolated#and the fact that society is full of lonely people makes me feel even worse somehow#you're not special. we can't fix this. just suffer#rant tw#vent tw#elletalks

I need to stop thinking about him I need to stop thinking about him I need to stop thinking about him
#and I can't just get high when I don't wanna deal with problems bc that's not ok#it's so weird to go from being rlly good friends to casual hookups to nothing at all#I don't even know how to move on bc we were never together and I don't even have romantic feelings for him anymore#I just really miss him#not just the physical stuff but I miss being friends and laughing together#and I know I have a right to be mad at him to some extent but I also feel like if I was less emotional then everything would be fine#he's probably just one of those guys that loses interest after sex but why am I still bothered even tho it's been months#I really cared about him and it hurts to be so distant#I feel like i've fucked everything up bc I got mad at him when really I was mad at myself and my insecurities and also him for ghosting me#but I shouldn't have gotten mad bc we were on good terms and now everything is weird again#and I need to get better and regulating my emotions so I don't do impulsive shit#everything is just rlly weighing on me#it's so strange that we didn't talk for over a month then I got high and texted him and now everything is so much more messy#I want to be completely over him but a part of me still holds on and imagines what could have been#if he had been in love with me or if I hadn't been so overbearing

Typewriter Acquired!
Guess what I now have? A type writer!! I found it at a thrift store and it seems to be working so far. I'm going to be fixing it up but it's pretty neat!
If anyone's got tips or knows what model it is please let me know!
#syncrovoid.txt#typewriter#type writer#antique#its an underwood made in canada.. i know it must be made in the 1930s or after because it has a shell metal frame#it weighs a ton so it's definitly not a traveling typewriter#probably made for office work? it has a few extra keys so it can't be super old. it's far from electric though lol#anywho it's really neat! i like the aesthetic of the black ones without an encassing a lot more#but who am i to shame it for the way it was built?#I'll be removing the sheet metal for cleanup anyways so we'll see what it looks like then#i also have to fix the B key since it sticks. the rest seem to be good?#right now testing it the ink strip doesn't work but that's expected since it just had an old one in#i might carry it over to the antoque place after i clean it up? just to see what they might say#but otherwise i wish to keep it!! it's a fun tricket of the past#and it is SO satisfying to type with#anywho!!

#depression is so weird. have been getting everything i want and have been experiencing such wonderful things#but i've been feeling like i can't enjoy any of it and that there's this horrible thick glass wall between me and my emotions and the world#i'm really hoping that things like getting back to work (took a long vacation) and alone time and#trying to do things like going for walks and stretching and eating more often will help#i may even look for further part time employment :')#and also will hopefully begin giving clothes away soon (that have been in to give away boxes for years now) to friends and their friends#it's been weighing on me for a while and i think part of it is that i need to feel more in control of my life and my space#but i fear it may also just be normal old depression as well :( and i am completely forgetting#all of the things you're supposed to do to help yourself when the depression gets really unbearably bad#usually it is anxiety and ocd that are giving me the most problems but now depression has reared its head up over those two again#idk i guess all this to say i am grateful and i had fun and i love everyone and nothing bad happened but i dont feel happy lately#my post
