such a tiny thing, but I love House’s little one-legged bunny-hop for getting up off the floor quickly! Boioioioing~
(ignore the dialogue; his cellmate is seranading him)
my other joints are too dodgy to attempt this often, but I just tried it out and can confirm it is a v. fun way to get up with a dodgy leg if u are otherwise fit!
u gotta channel the bunny
#u gotta flip your bad leg under like he does#then bounce forwards onto your hands then up to your feet#using your good leg and both arms all together for stability and power#surprisingly effective!#I do feel like mr laurie did a semi-decent job of studying movement#EVEN IF HE HOLDS HIS CANE BADLY AND ON THE WRONG SIDE#EVEN IF THE WRITERS KEEP FORGETTING WHETHER THE PAIN IS PSYCHOSOMATIC OR#JUST BECAUSE HE HAS A MASSIVE FUCKING HOLE IN ONE THIGH#:bites this show and shakes it like an angry rottweiler:#how are you so good yet so bad

not "i ship these characters" or "i want them to bond platonically" but a secret 3rd thing (I want them to be forced to interact by the Narrative bc they would HATE that)
#who needs romance when i can watch two narrative foils painfully tolerate each other's existence#bonus points if they are forced to Work Together To Solve A Problem#and they end up working surprisingly well together!#they make a surprisingly effective team!#they even confide some backstory with each other & bond a bit & understand each other better#and when it's all over they shake hands & amicably agree that they still cannot fucking stand each other#'this was an interesting sidequest & I'm glad we got to experience it.#but all things considered i genuinely never want to see your face again'#Enemies to Chained-Up-In-An-Abandoned-Bathroom-Together#to Enemies#two stray cats forced to share a cat carrier for a trip to the vet

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.
poor gale :'(
- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly
- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!
- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)
- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)
#also had other companion drawings w gale and mystra planned for this but none of them are complete... perhaps another day#mystra#baldur's gate 3#bg3#bg3 fanart#gale of waterdeep#gale dekarios#my art#hm i dont have many opportunities to share my mystra thoughts so!#mystra is incredibly difficult to redesign and draw! I want to give her a fantastical element to her while retaining her austere aloofness#(her unassuming design is actually surprisingly effective in making her seem so effortlessly powerful)#I love spiderweb imagery and braids(weave) for her but braids make her seem so... kind? very soft? i'll try again another day...#is this seriously my last post of 2023. goddamn

Dick in passing: Dami, I think the next time Ra’s tries something I think you should call him peepaw instead of Grandfather.
Damian:…
Dick: just to see what happens.
Later during a fight
Damian: For the last time peepaw, I will never return to your side!
Ra’s: You are gravely mist-… what?
Damian:…
Ra’s:…
Dick is just bird laughing in the distance while taking out assassins.
Crying and absolutely howling, clutching his stomach while bodying ninjas.
#dick grayson#batfam#incorrect batfamily quotes#nightwing#damian wayne#dc robin#ra’s al ghul#peepaw al ghul#this is the first time in years he’s been taken aback by something#that was a surprisingly effective tactic Grayson.#glad I was able to help lol

incredibly self-insert at the moment but
silly lil completely normal and understandable au where anakin moves to a new country and he's got most all of the complex paperwork and documentation sorted so he thinks he's doing great but for some reason he cannot for the life of him figure out how to use the appliances in his apartment. and this is doubly gutting because he's usually very good at this sort of thing! he has a degree in chemical engineering for gods sake, why can't he logic out how to turn on his shower or unlock the washing machine after a wash cycle???
not one to admit defeat, he googles basic questions like 'how turn on radiator stewjon' and 'common oven hieroglyphs stewjon' and finds this youtube channel where this older (hot hot very attractive hot) man named obi-wan films himself doing basic things like going to the store and messing about with his car's oil and also explaining basic appliances and how they work in stewjon
and anakin is addicted. he is in love. he watches all of them. he doesn't even own an iron but now he knows how to use a stewjoni one and obi-wan even gave him tips about how to look his best (like what colors go together and how he should never wear brown shoes with black pants, etc)
meanwhile obi-wan kenobi had to make these videos like five years ago as community service for some minor crime (like murdering his neighbor's plants because they kept getting pollen on his car) and he's very confused when he opens his mailbox one day to a piece of...fan mail?
#kit's silly lil aus#obikin#obi-wan of course is old and crotchety and knows nothing about internet safety#so his address was incredibly easy for anakin to find#for fanmail purposes#surprisingly mr kenobi is not reassured by this fact#when anakin tells him earnestly#anyway yeah ive had to google all these questions#to different levels of effectiveness#my radiator is still not on tho#al on youtube has failed me#or even worse#i have failed al on youtube

more shitposts but I snatched the quotes from @incorrectnevermoor 👀
#nevermoor#morrigan crow#jupiter north#hawthorne swift#ezra squall#anah kahlo#destressing by drawing shitposts is surprisingly effective#also i’m literally obsessed with the texture on the brush i’ve been using. it is SO SATISFYING#i’m like two seconds from posting a video of the eraser on it just because the way it fizzles out scratches my brain#but that would be odd lol#‘hey do you wanna see the coolest thing i’ve seen all day’ and it’s just a single line on a canvas

Shoutout to Magic for taking "Watson equivalent who was a former assassin of some kind" and ascending it to "Watson equivalent who is still an active assassin, not even on the side, like being a detective's assistant is their side job"
Proft: "He's covered his tracks well. He's definitely our culprit, but with all the physical evidence destroyed we'll never be able to prove it to the courts." Etrata: "...So like, does that mean I'm fine to... you know..." Proft: *sighs* "...Just please tell me you're being paid by someone else to do it." Etrata: "Oh they gave me the contract like halfway through the investigation. I was just waiting to see if we could get him in custody first."
#magic the gathering#etrata#alquist proft#Etrata got some really good character writing this set god damn#she went from being effectively a background character to having some of the best character dynamics in ravnica#hopefully when we inevitably come back to ravnica we can see her and proft still working together#proft also was surprisingly entertaining for someone who kinda came out of nowhere#I was sus of him the whole set but its actually funnier if he's just an innocent detective character who just ends up in these situations

window into mortality
#boiledegg art#new boiledegg oc just dropped. it doesnt have a name yet#very proud of this one. the lighting gradients were surprisingly hard to do with no transparency and one layer#so yeah this is my quetzalcoatlus oc. it is a godlike Weird Thing that dicks around with the mortal realm by using the butterfly effect#the little version of itself is a tiny lobotomized mortal version of itself that it made so that it could see whats up down there

The fans: Ugh Sonic was just so preachy. I mean obviously he's supposed to be the good guy, so any uncomfortableness I feel here and any way I feel like Sonic's choices are framed as being why some other people have shitty lives is just bad writing because he is obviously supposed to be right always, but this characterization makes no sense. Isn't he right for the things he did?
Ian Flynn, using Kitsunami to say the (barely even at this point) quiet part even louder: Hey it's almost like ever since the Mr. Tinker event we've been purposely running with the critique of Sonic as being more selfish than he appears. Sonic is upholding a system of Eggman v Sonic that currently benefits him and shuts down talk of how to improve the current system because he likes his own personal enjoyment and he's attached enough to Eggman that he'd rather Eggman pretend to be a good person than be stuck in prison for life. He doesn't even quite practice what he preaches. We are trying to show that the current hero v villain system and Sonic's recklessness currently affects some people poorly and that Sonic isn't a perfect hero.
#fandom wank#sonic the hedgehog#idw sonic comics#idw sonic 2024 annual#2024 sonic annual spoilers#idw somic comic spoilers#idw sonic spoilers#idw 2024 sonic annual spoilers#i just be ramblin#god one of these days I need to commit to the sonic character essay#because you HAVE to be able to see Sonic as a multifaceted character that is surprisingly selfish and a bit self centered despite his image#as a good hero who is always right to understand what the writers for Sonic Prime and Idw Sonic are trying to do#The point is not that Sonic is secretly a bad guy or anything#the point is that we're already primed to assume that anything Sonic does is a good thing because he's a hero and protagonist of what is#considered a 'children's media'#And people who can see those moments in different games or properties times where Sonic isn't being so good as him actually not being so#good of a person are primed to explain it away as flaws of the writing or the genre at that time *because* Sonic's behavior is not said to#be bad or punished in those games#And become we're already primed to assume that Sonic is already the good guy who's making the best choices no matter what‚ it's supposed to#be shocking when the narrative takes a step back and gives a critique of this status quo by showing us the effects of it#But instead of having some sort of eye opening event or being willing to meet the narrative where it's at#99% of the people who post here got uncomfortable and just doubled down‚ saying that because these things are being pointed out and some of#Sonic's actions (that aren't even alien to the games)#are being framed in a not so good light‚ then it must not be purposeful. That it must be bad writing through and through and just bad#Sonic characterization#because for people who claim they want Sonic as a series to be deeper and more thought out they sure start to pearl clutch when they feel#like a property isn't being as shallow as the very same games they think kinda suck#anyways anyways sorry about the rant I'll get back to regularly scheduled posting after this#vent post

Yuanzhou’s Youth
Please listen to a few seconds of this vocal timbre okay. Know that this is the character’s/actor’s voice. Now think about them using this in the ost WHENEVER he was being tender or vulnerable at all. WHICH WAS PRETTY OFTEN. And then think about them cashing in on all those associations by using the song at the end when he dies. FUCKED UP RIGHT
#AND THEY ONLY STARTED USING THE ALTERNATE CHORUS WITHIN A FEW EPS OF THE END. FUCKED UP IF TRUE#the actor voicing their character and singing their character song is pretty unusual#IT MAKES A SURPRISINGLY BIG DIFFERENCE#fangs of fortune#the ost was a little short. a little choppy. but they sure used it effectively#and if they hadn’t had to edit down the show to get it on air maybe the transitions would have been smoother#fangs of fortune spoilers

Based off of this: please understand my vision....
#pizza tower#arts#imagine....#fakey is rounded bc hes putty/molding clay in the shape of a die heehee#i think pman is going to be more of a heavy hitter#bc i am liking the idea of peppino having access to weakness and low rolls#and having his limit break double the effectiveness of his rolls#like#instead of max 3 on equipment; theyre now min 3#and i think ph would have the juggler set bc it fits so much#but maybe he gets a boss or minion of ur choosing as his limit break#i dunno !#i just think its silly n cute :)#also if u have not played dd please watch a quick playthrough of it. its so cute#if ur into deckbuilding roguelites then this is a very fun and surprisingly challenging game to play. i recommend it 100%#its got some cute jams#and delightful enemies ^^#the cowboy is my fave and is actually the deck i would give vigilante heehee

I know y'all are going to think I'm delulu. Still, I feel like the LIs will react differently to MC's curse since they are cursed/monsters themselves
What happens when someone who's already cursed faces the side effects of another person's curse? Are the curses going to get mixed? Is one curse going to overpower the other? What if they don't react that badly because their bodies are used to handling it?
(Not to sound evil, but I'm imagining a bartender mixing different drinks in this scenario but the drinks are curses and the glasses are the characters)
Everyone going mad and reacting in similar ways is kinda of expected, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get some plot twists we didn't see coming
#leander is probably under the curse's effect already and I can see him getting worse with time#kuras is surprisingly interested in the mc and I'd bet he's going to get way more interested with time (but in a obsessive way)#but I dunno. I missed a lot of things since I'm late to the party and may be saying a ton of stuff that doesn't make sense#touchstarved#touchstarved game

if you don't have a heart, then i'll share mine
#surprisingly this only took 3 hours compared to the 7½ i spent on the shinjin art#maybe its because the composition was simpler#and i remember where i messed up last time... hrm#anyways i like doing the simplified lineless art. its so shape#round aigis and spiky chidori my beloved#also the glowing effect on the heart is the best thing i've ever made#persona 3#chidori yoshino#aigis p3#aigidori#koto.png
