Sometimes i wonder why Eddie and Lauretta could find Carlo attractive. Like he's not the most handsome man, he's arrogant and self-centered, with some oddities, occasional paranoia (but given the last scene with him in canon - he can be relatively charismatic?). but i've long been of the opinion that it's all about his energy??? assertiveness? ambitions?? i mean judging by the records about him Carlo really tried to make the most of this life??? Connections with journalists and politicians, the planetarium, charity, he had a company in Ohio, he found new ways to earn money ( was the first to go international in fact 😭)
He also seems to have generally used material patronage as a way to gain loyalty?? I'm saying this because of the Mickey the Crab story, it's written that he used to be in the Vinci family, but moved to Falcone's because Carlo paid more and got him out of the army (+he gave Eddie a brothel in gratitude for his loyalty; +in ch10 Carlo emphasizes that he will pay Vito and Joe well if they successfully take out Clemente)
anyway. just an old thought
Upd. And funny how it's the absolute contrast with Clemente, who uses intimidation and cruelty to his men. Now I'm wondering how Carlo came to this way of connecting with people (=materialistic)
#Well and in eddie and lauretta's case I want to believe they found his quirks materialism and cruelty appealing#carlo has the sun tarot card vibes to me??? but ofc like the darker version of the sun#but maybe (100%) im projecting once again bc the sun is my card#and i deeply respect ambitious n energetic people#Abt ch10: yes i know it's a basic phrase#but i'm in my second year of working in the theater and i'm used to the story/characters being built largely on words#so i pay attention to it a lot#All this thing bout generosity in payment is basically investing for profit in the long term#Profit is loyalty in this case#But anyway. Now i will think how this structure came into his cursed head 😭😭#Idk imo almost every character's trait has a background#m2

horrible truth bomb dropped on my head 20 min ago
#I DIDNT KNOW I DIDNT KNOWWWWW#when i say damn thats crazy its bc i DO think its crazy i think a lot of things are crazy. like how birds have cloacas#or the way ppl draw a five pointed star in different ways and everyone assumes their way of doing it is how everyone does it#my brother is not letting me live this down btw he literally shouted at me like HOW DID YOU LIVE THIS LONG AND NOT PICK UP ON THAT#IDK!!! IDK I THOUGHT SOMETIMES IT COULD BE USED TO EXPRESS GENUINE SHOCK??????#he says its my delivery that makes it sound insincere bc i say it in a monotonous voice which when i think abt it YEAH....#THAT DOES MAKE IT LOOK KINDA BAD IN HINDSIGHT.....#and then i told him i keep a list of phrases that tickle my brain so i can remember to use them in conversation and apparently#most ppl dont do that bc he was like ???? stop doing that??? just let the conversation flow naturally it sounds fake>????#idk man i feel like if i did that and blurted out 'i forgot people find stuff like underwear arousing for some reason' instead of#smth like 'i wonder what kind of ppl find this kind of stuff the bees knees' like i normally do. it would. not go so well.#ALSO THE FLOW CHARTS ARENT NORMAL? i make flow charts before i call the bank or smth so i know what to say#its not just to blend in its also so i dont waste ppls time going uhhhhh as i think of how i put smth into words#its called stalling for time and i dont care if i have to say smth like thats just how the cookie crumbles if it gives me#5 more seconds to process whatever the fuck someone said without letting them think im not paying attention#doodles#diary#sona#puppysona#comics

One of my biggest pieces of advice for those taking injectable hormones is to make sure you're injecting at the right angle
For intramuscular (IM), you inject at a 90° angle.
For subcutaneous (SQ), you inject at a 45° angle.
Here is a graphic depicting what the angle of your injection should look like:

WOW this has been ROUGH in the Life Events category of things, but. slowly crawling out of that. hopefully
this was the opening scene for a something I started writing after watching the Manben inverview with Nishi Keiko and thinking back to all the classic shoujo manga I stayed up reading back in the day, like damn that's so true Urasawa Naoki
it's partially a love letter to all the greats of the genre that I read, and also to the late night teleseryses that captivated me over the years lmao. it'd be nice to find the time to tackle it properly as a comic, but I'm having fun working on it recreationally :)
✨but since it's recreational, some character info✨
the first character seen is lawrence 'law' valenciano (late 30s), the one with the glasses is cris volante (mid-later 20s). law works at a karinderya, cris is an extremely broke university student.
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / insta / tip jar!
#komiks tag#original tag#there's a bit about how shoujo manga pays a lot of attention to hair and ngl its SO true and such a huge influence on my own art#did not realize it until then but when it came to things like hair i did turn more frequently to CLAMP and etc over any big name shonen#artist. and ofc. im a lifelong CLAMP fan. it was just interesting to listen to in discussion! genres are a language and each conveys#what they need to. ofc you get things like genre convention defying things like x1999 which just kind of. melt your brain a bit#ANYWAY i actually started re reading marmalade boy after this interview which was. idk why that one came to mind first#but you can probably guess where that impacted this story idea lmaoo. i am trying to track down a bunch of gender blender josei#manga i read in highschool. god. remember paradise kiss. damn those visuals were killer

Buttercups and Golden Flowers
#i drew this mostly because i noticed that a lot of people mistake buttercups and golden flowers as being the same thing.#so i wanted to try drawing them like. distinctly different in the same image.#it's not a big thing but i do think the fact that they're different has some significance. or at least like. symbolic meaning.#my art#undertale#chara#chara dreemurr#safeutdr#something about the fact that they both look similar at least in color but one of them is poisonous.#the way golden flowers are clearly a positive symbol throughout the game and clearly heavily associated with Chara.#contrasted with the very negative connotations buttercups have. with asgore getting sick and chara using them in their plan.#you never see buttercups in the game. which makes it even easier to mistake the two. because we've only seen one kind of#golden/yellow flower. who's to say 'golden flowers' aren't just referring to buttercups? well.#why would there be golden flower tea if they were poisonous? why would chara want to see the golden flowers from their village if they're#the same kind of flower? they clearly have buttercups in the underground.#it feels almost intentional the way golden flowers are so easily mistaken for buttercups. or at least that the difference is so subtle.#it goes well with the way they're associated so strongly with chara who's also a very subtle yet important part of the narrative.#from a surface-level perspective the flowers that took their life and the one's they actually like/are important to them are the same thing#but when you pay closer attention to the narrative you can see the different symbolic meanings.#well. uhh I've thought about it too much don't mind me.#see i think about it from the perspective of chara being super adamant about them being two different flowers#and frustrated when anybody gets it wrong. because clearly. CLEARLY they're not the same.#'STOP confusing buttercups and golden flowers. i literally used buttercups to kill myself do you think i would still like them after that?'#'do you think i want to be associated with them? they're not the same!!'#<number one golden flower enjoyer number one buttercup hater.#i need a badge that says 'i have strong opinions about chara dreemurr because i kin them. i apologize for the wall of text' at this rate.

yk when i think about it, especially when im watching the anime with people who havent read the manga, the reason a lot of people who only watch the anime and didnt read the manga misinterpreted saikis character so badly is definitely in part because of how damn fast paced the anime is 😭
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3527aee82c3f455f9c5e3c18ee21eb88/ad81592ee736e945-f8/s540x810/78341a2228ef73f4d9bf2ad9ced5ab025f33c8dc.jpg)
like that little smile and eye shine frame is there for not even half a second in the anime, so its easier to miss it and assume that he really did only finish those workbooks to get coffee jelly ☠️ its much more clear if you get a good look at how he reacts here that hes just a silly little tsundere and a fucking liar
#this might be really obvious but im silly#LET ME YAP !!#dont read this as me making fun of anime only fans#i was literally one until like a few months ago#i just think its unfortunate how different the vibe is#obviously i love the anime though#there are still some things i straight up don't understand how people miss though#like people who watch the whole anime and still think saiki hates teruhashi or nendo specifically#like ? he has some of his most affectionate scenes with them#but i think maybe its because they missed so many of the more subtle details#that by the time they see saikis offu or him saying he and teruhashi make a great team.. it appears more sudden to them than it really is#so they either completely ignore those scenes or dismiss them as fanservice#ugh#its. literally not fan service at all and makes perfect sense if you pay attention#idk how u can watch the sweetest line ever 'we're invincible together' and deny that saiki cares about teruhashi#in general its actually just impossible to end the show thinking he hates any of his friends unless u just ignored things on purpose#even if u ended at the first season like a lot of people#but im just saying i guess i get why its a little less obvious in the show#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#saiki kusuo#meows post

#🐉#see i generally make playlists based on music i think represents the character and their personality/story/etc.#but i see a lot of people saying 'this character wouldnt listen to (x)' so i wanna see what the general consensus is#like occasionally ill avoid certain songs because even though they might act as an accurate metaphor for the characters#experiences but the vibes are off for whatever reasons#but generally i dont pay attention to whether the character would listen to the music ive picked for then sdjfjkl

you guys ever think about how Emma was so elated to see Paul during "inevitable" that she didn't notice his heart wasn't beating. cause i think about that a lot
#tgwdlm#paul matthews#emma perkins#starkid#hatchetfield#paulkins#the guy who didn't like musicals#like she was right up against his chest#sure she didn't get a whole lot of time to notice or pay attention to that but#usually chest warmth and a slight hum is the FIRST thing u notice when hugging someone that's taller than you (sincerely - a 5'3 little guy#which means she was so happy to see him it didnt get to hit her that he was fucking dead#pixie talks#wow been a while since i made my own post good evening everypony

Reverse!Gavin
#detroit become human#gavin reed#i read a lot of fics with the role swap and when a few described his attire it was like white cyberlife hoodie#and i refuse to believe he would wear white as an outer color but! i do like the idea of a white underside to his jacket#with hood included because i like hoodies#and since i dont really pay attention to if there are pristine cyberlife jackets worn that would have brown#i gave him black instead then used the brown of his leather jacket on his shoes#so that he still has that color somewhere#also i know lots of fics like to have lore as to why nines is nicknames nines but idk if ive seen any#that are like what if gavin just dubbed his human partner nines and when asked about it#hes like i might have a super brain but fuck it if im using storage to remember someones name if theyre gonna dump me later#and so thats his ninth partnership and then it lasts woohoo (i wish i could write more confidently lmao)#also also points to the scar on his nose and then points to sixtys forehead theyre friends (well granted ive never seen a role swap fic#that involved sixty but thats completely irrelevant its why i think gavin would have a kind of kinship with sixty in base bc oh huh#android healed not perfectly thats mighty fine by me)#theres more i can add to that but wont#enjoy android gavin i guess#sad i drew him in a way you cant see his mood light led but its blue here

Tattoo-less Jellal, aka a collection of Jellal's left side of the face
"It's all for drawing studies", Siren said, lying shamelessly
#Jellal Fernandes#Jellal#Fairy Tail#Manga#Hiro Mashima#They give his eyes a lot of focus in the manga#when a character has such an outstanding feature like his tattoo we tend to pay less attention to other details#so observations like this are interesting to do#well... at least for me? because im a huge nerd#But of course I freaking adore his tattoo too#maybe I just wanted an excuse to compile Jellal's images? who knows

When Eileen or whoever Sam's blurry wife is in a throw away line in a fic is pregnant to show that Sam's happy and doing good it kinda revolts me not gonna lie. We're really putting 2.5 kids on whatever woman shaped object is in Sam's love life? And on Sam for that matter? Who, by the end of the show, expressed zero interest in having a little baby and said he felt fulfilled by hunting, despite its downsides.
One of the reasons Sam and Eileen work well together is that they're both hunters and feel able to lean on each other in that regard, and yet pregnancy or motherhood is often the only thing we hear about Eileen in these cases. She's made into an incubator. Is the only vision of happiness she's allowed becoming Mary from the first minute of the Pilot?
#eileen leahy#saileen#in AUs as well this trend keeps appearing#In AU settings it'd be closer to how their partnership actually works to show that they're both successful in the same career field.#I knowww it's bc people aren't thinking very hard about it and are going 'sam with a little baby 😊'#and i still read majority destiel fics who don't care about sam further than they could throw him#i would HOPE in sam centered fics things are better for his female love interests#like I don't think Eileen is the most compelling character in the world and not every fic can or should dive into her motivations and such#but some thought? some minor spare thought? please?#and not just for eileen. this happened to jess a lot too when she was most the popular sam au love interest choice.#but we didn't know jess in the way we know eileen. she IS the barefoot and pregnant blonde girl fantasy bc she doesn't exist as a character.#so it feels a little less egregious with her although it's still an odd choice for sam in my opinion#it's possible that the majority of people writing her this way. did not watch the whole show.#and therefore missed her actual character. or weren't paying attention to Sam saying he's as content as he can be with The Life.
