Senticousins Sun-Moon metaphors except both of them think they’re the moon and the other is the sun. Do you see my vision.
#miraculous ladybug#Adrien sees Félix’s dramatics and bold personality and how he shines like he was meant to take center stage and considers him the sun#while Adrien feels more mellow and like he can only really shine at night and how even then he still needs to reflect someone else’s light#Meanwhile Félix sees how Adrien can light up with joy when things are good and how people naturally gravitate and love him#and how Adrien is just in general a very public figure#and sees him as the Sun#while Félix views himself as something subtler and as a reflection of Adrien but still so different and able to work in the shadows#and how while appreciated by some people that he’s usually not as popular#and sees himself as the Moon#do you get me#do you see my vision#anyway#felix graham de vanily#felix fathom#adrien agreste#senticousins#sentitwins#SB Speaks

#and suit and blood and the worlds smallest suspender flash anyway i dont think i need to explain myself to this crowd#this was a normal thing to do at 1:30 in the morning i think#i am also once again admiring the shot work and set design and lighting in Saw VI#some cherrypicked scenes aside most of the saw films are very pretty. like not talking abt the gore i mean the shots are just mwah#so pretty. composed so nicely. uses color and light and shadow so appealingly and in fun ways to make each trap unique#each scene even#theres much to learn about composition and mood from these films i s2g#and saw vi especially i swear is the prettiest film in the franchise each shot is so colorful and composed nicely 👌#saw#mark hoffman#my gifs#saw gifs#horror gifs#movie gifs#saw 6#saw vi#saw franchise#saw movies

i think a lot about the idea of sam’s relationship to sh (both the widely recognized types and the more subtle types). in my mind it would start as a sort of self-punishment (pre-series after a hunt that doesn’t go well and he finds the pain of an injury grounding / reminding) and then continues it as a combination of punishment & cleansing until s7, where it would transfer over into pain as a connection to reality / control over his body (he’s getting scars from hunting but he’s getting more scars from himself so that means more in the end). s8 would kind of be a movement back into the cleansing state of mind (embracing & valuing the pain from the trials) but post-09x10 would very firmly be about re-finding security within his body. anyways the sam in my head has sh scars
#i love when the lighting hits sam’s arm just right and it looks like he actually does <3#there's a very specific moment that startled me on my first watch of 04x01 where i was like. wait a fucking second#but it was just some shadows that happened to look similar#i think that sam does have many canon actions that could be considered sh (“self-mutilation” sex with ruby. s7 hand scar.#s8 trials pain.) but i could also easily see him engaging in outside more explicitly sh actions as well#honestly i do count the s7 palm scar as a scar representative of sh / sh scar in the end (even though it wasn’t self-inflicted initially)#due to the way that he uses it to deliberately inflict pain which is the technical definition#ive actually been working on a fic abt sam & sh for a while but i have no idea how i want to end it#which is making it hard to work on & i am avoiding it :/#because like. stopping it isn't how most people write it and it drives me just a lil bit crazy <3 the miraculous#power of dean would not suddenly fix him nor would they address it in an effective / meaningful way <3#tw sh#tw sh destructive behaviour#ask to tag

have a very early wip of a tea party :>
This is @phoenixcatch7 's Possessed Doll Au
#idk why but I was hit with the vivid image of the puppets holding a music box that guides whoever they're calling to down through the caves#Each song different yet the same for each of them#Behold Bruce's first time to the Dollhouse lol#Idk if it's canon to Phoenix's but honestly I like to think that the first doll Bruce encountered was the one that'd eventually be robin#Since he was a child when he fell down in the well and into the tunnels beneath#batman au#bruce wayne#possessed doll au#possessed puppet au#sketch#art#First time down there it's more cave like but as time goes on it shifts#Some of it from them working on stuff and others on its own#The table getting longer and larger as the family grows even if not there yet#The puppets know when to emerge from the shadows and join the others at the table#I like to think the patriarch puppet is damaged the first time Bruce goes down#maybe mimicking a certain father's wounds before he died but maybe not still debating that#god i love this au#Honestly their eyes are empty like sockets because they don't have the lights or glass yet#just darkness :)

ghostwriter (their grandma would tell them she'd lose half her soul)
#or smth smth. having a lot of Thoughts. anyways here's the piece i've been working on and sometimes u have to just say Done#there's a lot of thinks but i am maybe a bit tired and so tmr i'll come in and add all the Tags that i'd personally want to get from myself#maybe i'll reblog the extras tmr too. this is an incredibly self indulgent piece + it probably deserves a tag ramble essay or smth#ig for now we see how it stands for itself + in the meantime:#adamandi#beatrix valeria campbell#hello!! i'm back with belated tags yippee!! alright so for funsies i'm going to make it sound like i'm going bonkers over this :3#the eye shine... the glowy eye... it's like phaethon shine but also smth about eyes to windows to the soul and like#there's two beatrixes here! half the soul. lost part doing things specific to the phaethon and here it's portrayed as tearing off her name#because that's really; truly; when it all starts!! also notable for the ghostly beatrix is i did it more painterly and cloaked in shadow and#fading into the bg. i think i was super duper specificish about where the glow comes from! front lighting back lighting beloved!!! like help#let's put it this way- beatrix face always glowy. important parts of paper also glowy. it's just that different elements are turned away#from the viewer by each beatrix!! also also. let's talk about the very gently implied blood and red etcetera#like the red string is canonical and i love personally the whole red strings of fate thing even though it's not Here Applicable exactly but#that definitely was an influence! and also the blood in the bg... i'm starting to think this is a recurring trend. but anyway shadowy bea#the other strings hang while the red string loops!! so like that one string feels almost alive. it's a sort of whimsical i put on the same#as metaphorical glowy eye!! also also the eye is lowkey influenced by the whole idea of Eyes and Spotlights within the show and also glow#as in power as in heyyy you ever think about writing as a visual medium huh#speaking of writing!! there is no beatrix thingy complete in my head without text sorrry but the black text overlays are always so >>> to me#and in the sense of art styles and overlays shoutout to all the black crosshatching outline thingys because For Some Reason in my mind#of all the characters beatrix feels like the bnw ink printed illustrations you get in books idk#fun fact! i spent so long rendering this and that was fine i liked it! but then trying to figure out text to go on the papers was a Thing#i tried to do. but then gave up on! sometimes i have to pick my battles and graphic design is indubitably Not my passion bc Fonts#fun facts about this is i Actually did start with a quick sketch in mind and there's been so many changed elements. in the og the front#paper for instance had 'ardess murders' written on it and the back one said phaethon interviews.. i like the nominee list better it feels#more narrative-esque and less passive than her just holding her writing.! other elements that got discontinued were that#front beatrix was supposed to blur into the other ghostly beatrix but i couldn't do it without sacrificing clarity so... no... no blurry#oh and the red string morphing at the ends to smth more abstract was always there from the start!! og had more floating papers#and also a silhouette of vincent and a scalpel bc 'one who pulls the strings' but that (pun intended)! got cut (hahahahahahaha) (sorry)#used also to be a lot of print room clutter but that got cut to bc compositionally i made beatrix larger (learned lesson from last art)

hfw: burning shores | aloy 21/?
#burning shores#hfwbs#horizon forbidden west#hfw#aloy#found an interesting light spot!#v annoying to get to#but produces some interesting results!#(short ver: get into empty arena‚ use parkour escape route on the log pile‚ fall into inescapable hole inside the arena walls)#ngl it'll be a huge pain in the ass to get to if you don't already have muscle memory from doing the escape parkour previously#bc after 1.26 i'm pretty sure it's even harder#anyway i'll experiment more with it but the shadows (or lack thereof) can be funky#and only certain times of day work well#but i liked this one!#hfwbs aloy

wow this art is so beautiful this artist is so good at colors
they must be a final fantasy 14 player
i check their profile
they are a final fantasy 14 player
#theres some inherent quality about how they choose colors that just alerts my built in final fantasy detector#its not even like 20 cases its more like 100#when the light the border of light the shadows are all colorful and they really know how to choose brown shades its somehow always a ffxiv#im being deadass about the brown part#like ill go right now find you 12 samples. you pick the ones done with most finesse. it will always be a ffxiv player at the top#if i play will i become the god of color palettes too?#maybe its something to do with how the bloom filter works in that game the artists just get used to it?#not sure but whatever it is i worship them

drawing more furry fnaf art. yknow just to keep you posted. i love posting in the tags sorry these ones got away from me
#sammy is a brown bear (like freddy). his mom is white like funtime freddy#then crying child is blue (like bon bon. and to go with lizzies bonnet pink) (theyre not twins in my au but they definitely act like it. so#its like cute.) mrs. afton is blue violet (rockstar bonnie) bc i was running out of colors. i had already assigned her blue anyway.#max is black bc i seriously ran out of rabbit colors. or! no wait shadow bonnie. thats totally the inspo and not i had made his ears black#already. i think thats literally every rabbit color available. the afton family is pretty big. ig vanny. who would go with vanessa. obvi bu#shes not in my au. or at least not an afton. and therefore not a rabbit. if she was though shed be white.#and if you havent seen any previously drawn ones henry and william are yellow (obviously. they already have fursonas. theyre the reason#everyone else gets one. LOL) micheals purple like classic bonnie (who... is purple even if it was then retconned. hes purple. look at#withered bonnie. i hate ppl who say its just lighting. thats a lie by big blue bonnie. he was literally purple and then he changed his mind#like i said lizzie is pink like bonnet. and then charlie is black like lefty. because duhh.#DONT ask me about how this shit works okay. the rabbit dated the rabbit and the bear dated the bear. bc thats what happened. theres not#here. the bears got divorced. and the rabbits. the yellow rabbit and bear are fucking#no um. i like willry but i think if they were really fucking. i just think things would go differently. henry's gay in my au i dont think i#he actually had a man to fuck he'd manage to have children. its not who he is to me. will is bi but he obv thinks henry is some exception t#him being perfectly normal and straight. everyone wants to fuck their business partner. otherwise youd do it yourself#ig they can fuck after. i hate when people do these boring aus where henry and william never get married and william isnt a murderer and so#like what? theres nothing? just a couple of guys? if im looking for fics where theyre fucking im not looking for a fic where everything is#nice and clean. be serious. can we at least have some angst about it being the 70s or are you too much of a bitch for that too#anyway.....#simons spouting#simons fnaf au#OH also if anyone reads this whats the stance on this stupid idea i have where sammy pretends he has a thing for michael to annoy max. bc.#their parents had a thing for eachother. and sammy and max have a more familial relationship. and michael and charlie have a familial#relationship. but michael and sammy have barely met and do not at all. is it pushing it? i was thinking yknow from sammys perspective that'#'his sons' dad but! like you can fuck your sons dad. that's not weird. unless thats the way youre phrasing it i guess LOL. but i guess#michael would be like. thats 'my sisters' brother. and that is not someone you fuck*. BUT this isnt michaels perspective its sammy being#annoying. and from sammys perspective that is NOT his sister and there for NOT his sisters brother. *also im pretty sure this is subjective#if youre just friends. yknow. the ethics of sammy using this to bother max is not on the table because i think he deserves to be a#a bit of an ass. anyway LMAOO fkdglfg. let me know if youd like ive got anon asks on. please dont judge me for not knowing this.

#it was very hard for me to find any drawings from the beggining of the year (first 3 months had bearly anything)#seems like I didn't draw much at that time#but I can expect it's because of the cat fighting with the dragon redraw thing I was working on :v#I was working on improving my anatomy of humans during this year#and you can see it's better#albeit it's herd to tell#since there isn't too many humans here#but i still improved#and I thing my work with lighting and shadows also improved a bit#so I'm happy with my progress throught 2023#I hope I can do even better in 2024#(and have some drawings to show for it lol)#also I find it funny that my last drawing of 2023 was sad furina xd#my art#my post

not rlly that proud of this but. littol bloo sketch
#art#shadow draws#not an oc#just a random person lmao#v androgynus looking tho. very femine but my style is always like that? so it comes off as neither boy nor girl? that's fun#wish i went darker with the shadows. there's not enough contrast there#its BRIGHT but not contrasting if that makes sense#i need to learn how to make shadows darker#maybe f around with some more dull/neutral shades so that i learn how to make that stuff work#it may just be that i make too much of the drawing in light? and then don't make the shadows sharp enough or something?#nothing in this drawing is sharp enough tbh#idrk. im working on it though#didnt mean to go on a full rant in the tags uhm. oops#if youve read this far tell me what you think abt this (only if you want to) and what you think i could improve on#im ALWAYS looking for (constructive) criticism#and even if its not constructive. i need to be taken down a couple pegs sometimes lmao

Being a whumpling is when your class goes to see a joint exhibition of impressionism and expressionism, and they tell you to write down your favorite painting and why
And people are picking Monet's water lilies and Degas's dancers for their beauty and serenity and dreamy execution
But your ass goes "Chaim Soutine's 'Side of Beef and Calf's Head' because of its raw energy and unflinching challenge to the banality of fruit bowl still lifes"
Edit: idk why I forgot to include it in the initial post but here y'all go
#some of y'all would absolutely faint at his work#he had dead game in almost every still life#ominous figures in his landscapes#because nobody else would paint raw life#raw meat#raw anxiousness#raw curiosity#raw emotion#raw emotional evisceration#his is the standard i aspire to#to challenge lovely banality#paint blood where others paint water#paint still deaths where others paint still lifes#paint uneasiness and shadow where others paint calm and light#this is what whump is#whump is confronting serenity with violence and fear and unease#if you're looking for the calm and serene and beautiful and safe#you're in the wrong place#even if you sprinkle in a bunch of tears and the occasional bruise#whump is for when you dare to challenge yourself#whump is for facing the unpleasantness in life#if you’re still afraid of everything#stay in angst because you're not ready#i mean that in the nicest way like im not trashing anyone#just know where you are is okay#but also know where the lines are#crankyfish#sort of im more morosefish atm#i got the most horrified looks from teachers and classmates tho real talk#it was hilarious

Lieutenant Simon Riley has a favorite nurse. She's sweet as sugar and polite, stitching up every bloodied soldier with gentle words and touches so light they barely feel the push and pull of the suturing. Appreciative, whether they return the soft conversation or not. He likes the way she floats around the medical wing, the way she smiles softly at everyone, even him. He's sure she knows what he's been doing, but she isn't stopping him, so he assumes she doesn't mind.
Every morning, without fail she gets up and comes into the wing in a different colored pair of scrubs. A new color every day, never the same one twice in a week. She sits at the front desk or at another station somewhere around and sips a can of ginger ale through a straw, pretending she doesn't see Simon's eyes on her while she works.
"Wha's it t'day?" Simon says gruffly as he approaches her, bypassing the other nurses almost completely. "Blackberry," She says softly, looking up at him and displaying the can. He takes a look at her scrubs, and of course, they're a dark purple, matching the can. It suits her, he thinks. Not an obnoxious shade, one that matches her skin tone well. "Good?" He asks her, like he always does. "Not my favorite,' she says as she sets the can back down. He hums lowly in reply as his eyes linger on the fabric of her scrubs, the way the cloth dips over her soft curves.
"You hurt?" She asks him cheekily, "Or just taken an interest in the medical field?" He grunts, pulling his eyes away from her scrubs and meeting her own. "Nae," He says lowly. "Just passing by," he adds, shoving his gloved hands into his pockets to keep from touching her. Or reaching out to smooth out a wrinkle in her clothing, or tucking some of her hair behind her ear.
He doesn't know what else to say, wanting to keep her attention on him. "Suits ya," He ends up saying softly, trying to sound as gruff as possible, but his eyes are trained on hers, his hazel eyes staring into her own irises. "The purple." He grumbles, cursing inwardly because why is he acting like he's never spoken to a pretty bird before?
"Thank you, Lieutenant." She says sweetly, a nice red tinting the apples of her cheeks. Simon shifts his weight from one foot to the other, unsure what to say next. Small talk hasn't ever been his strong suit, but walking away feels wrong, like cutting a thread that’s barely started to weave.
"You sure you're alright?" she asks again, but this time there's something softer in her voice. A note of genuine curiosity, her hands stilling on her keyboard. "You don’t usually linger this long."
He scowls—not at her, but at himself for being so obvious. "Dinnae know I was bein’ timed," he mutters, stuffing his hands deeper into his pockets.
She chuckles, the sound low and warm. "You’re not. Just... noticed, is all." Her gaze flicks over him, quick and subtle, like she’s trying to piece him together without openly prying. She's familiar with Simon, knows how private he is. "Busy morning?"
He shrugs. "Same as usual. Training, Paperwork."
Her lips quirk upward in a faint smile, but there’s a shadow of worry behind her eyes. "Sounds like you could use a break."
"Aye," he says gruffly, a hand leaving his pocket to scratch at the base of his balaclava. "Reckon this is it."
Her smile softens at that, and for a moment, neither of them speaks. There’s a weight in the air, something unspoken that presses against his chest, and hers. He wants to say more, to keep her talking, but the words are tangled up in his throat.
"Y’know," she says after a pause, "I think purple might actually suit you too."
His brows furrow softly, squinting at her a bit behind the mask, and for a split second, he wonders if she’s teasing him. But her expression is sincere, her eyes glinting with a quiet kind of amusement.
"Me?" he scoffs, shaking his head. "Don’t reckon that’s in regulation."
She shrugs lightly, leaning against the desk. "Wouldn’t hurt to try. Maybe a mask or something. Just a little color." There’s a playful glint in her eyes now, and he feels the corner of his mouth twitch despite himself.
"Don’t think I’d pull it off," he mutters, though there’s a faint warmth creeping up his neck, hidden by the black fabric.
"I disagree," she says softly, and the weight of her gaze feels heavier than before. He looks at her then, really looks, and finds himself rooted to the spot.
"You always this cheeky with the patients?" he grumbles, trying to mask the fact that she’s gotten under his skin.
"Only the ones who hover around the nurses' station without a good excuse," she quips, her smile widening just a fraction. "But I don’t mind. You’re welcome anytime, Lieutenant."
His heart gives a traitorous thump at her words, but he swallows it down and grunts in reply. "I’ll hold ya to that," he says, his voice rougher than he intends.
As he turns to leave, her voice calls him back again, soft and lilting. "Oh, and Simon?"
He stops dead in his tracks. She’s never used his name before. Slowly, he turns his head to glance at her, his hazel eyes locking onto hers.
"Next time," she says, lifting her can of ginger ale in a mock toast, "you could at least bring one of these to share."
His lips twitch into something dangerously close to a smile. "Aye," he murmurs, his voice low. "I’ll see what I can do."
And as he walks out of the wing, he finds himself already wondering what color she’ll be wearing tomorrow.
