#that last bit is the dream isn't it

[evilkitten3]

one pet peeve of mine in founders-era fanfics is when madara's whole,,,, everything is solved by izuna just being there

like maybe this is just me, but i don't think izuna surviving or even coming around to the idea of a truce with the senju would've been enough to keep madara from the path he ended up on.

izuna wasn't the reason he left - he was definitely part of madara's issues, but he wasn't the why. even if izuna had stuck around, and even if that had been enough to keep the uchiha clan from losing their faith in madara, i think he would've still come to realize konoha wasn't what he'd hoped it would be.

best case scenario, i think izuna's survival might've caused madara to stick around a bit longer, but i don't think it would've lasted. honestly, even then, that might've just made the inevitable break-up between madara and hashirama even more agonizing (particularly for izuna)

it's a fun idea to play around with for sure, but frankly i don't think canon!madara could've ever been 'saved' from that path. certainly not if the hidden village system ended up getting set up in the same way.

tonal whiplash—a scene out of context.

Trying to draw 616 Scarlet Spider Kaine is so hard for me 😂 I think my problem was the cheekbones, which I tried to fix, so I think he turned out alright here. I'm just so used to drawing him smashed up. Obviously. Also. It's really hard to draw windowverse Kaine's nose in profile. I need to find some reference photos or something.

It's smeared off to the side lol (different WIP/sketch, making a scar reference lol—it actually came in handy for this pic a little bit)

Anyway, here are the lines without any colors—

beef

I did not necessarily originally intend to blanket everything in solid black, so there are lines that aren't visible lmao — but in the dream sequence thing this is part of there is a lot of pure darkness and voids of negative space so i was like, you know, i should probably invoke that here. I GUESS I could have colored 616 Kaine's pants dark gray or something but I decided to leave it all invisible so I could keep the palette simple and focus more on the... copious quantities of blood lol

tfw your hair is just soaked with blood. I was just about to say "in the nature of dreams, this isn't realistic, and his hair isn't actually soaked in blood irl" but then I thought about it for a sec and... no, it definitely is soaked all the way up to the back of his head because of the fact that he ends up lying in a pool of his own blood for like... at least fifteen minutes. if not longer. maybe thirty minutes?

it gets chopped to chin-length after this (when he gets ✨hospitalized✨ because he's ✨dying✨) on account of the blood being a radioactive biohazard and also a hazard in general (tripping hazard, tangling hazard, etc.)—the buzzcut in some other sketches I've posted is not until a week or two later and is something he does because of some complex emotions.

they go to a renfair like three weeks after this 😂

Anywho~

he is m— he is my poor little meow meow,,,

sometimes i feel like swapinverse deviates too much from the concept i originally had (which is that character A goes through events that lead them to having one or more traits of character B) but then i remember that this is all not canon and this is MY CANON and it's all artistic liberty and i have free reign to change things if i think they're too boring or i just want a different aesthetic

nooo stop you can't change logic about the tree of feelings and make it so that the villagers are less hateful as a result to nightmare (melpomene :3) and then also have inspiration from greece that's weird- SHUT UP!!!!! if i want them being named after greek muses and gods and wear drapy loosely inspired clothing then i WILL!!!! normal dreamtale is too boring anyways it's just the sun and moon themes. there's a point where you can't just squeeze in sun and moon symbols without it getting repetitive and trashy

noooo stop you can't completely change the events of xtale/underverse and basically make cross (crash xD) a different character- YES I CAN!!!!!!!!! i mean like what the hell would even happen to xtale if ink didn't exist anyways. xgaster would kill himself?? THAT'S BORING and i needed to find a way to keep xgaster alive so cross can at least somewhat come fron xtale. anyways crash (and also siphon but he's a completely different story that doesn't deviate TOO much) feel very outlierish to me in terms of what they do (since they don't directly do what their character B traits are, those are just a byproduct of their actions)

nooooo stop you can't give killer angel motifs and make him wear a random ass blindfold for no reason- YES THE FUCK I CAN YES I CAN!!!!! i didn't even have a reason for this i just really wanted him to be angel themed when i came up with the NAME savior (what's the opposite of killing? life. okay but i can't just fucking name this killer "liver" that's weird. i can't name him VICTIM either that's just strange especially considering this character concept. so what else is there? i could use kill on its own and search up antonyms. the strongest antonym of kill on thesaurus.com is save. boom SAVIOR) and then i RAN with the savior concept because if i'm gonna have a character literally named savior with a warped savior complex then i might as well go all in on the angel motifs because im out of ideas on unique design concepts

The prison podcast is probably our best look into how c!dream and c!techno view each other and it deserves much more attention and also praise. They really say down for an hour and just talked and it's amazing.

strongly agree / agree / ambivalent / disagree / strongly disagree / don’t care whatsoever

im so sorry for being such a hater AKSDLFJS

don't get me wrong, prison podcast is great! it's just the situation in itself is also...unideal. c!dream is fresh off of a few months of serious torture and scared as hell and c!techno is the first person to treat him as a human person in a long while, and none of that should be discounted like. obviously, obviously that means a lot and obviously c!dream cares about c!techno and even defends c!techno for the whole imprisonment thing to c!sam! like, their relationship is very important to me for sure and i adore prison podcast to bits

all that being said, well, it's still the prison. the situation isn't ideal, and neither of them are in their best form--c!dream has been tortured A Lot, both of them are trapped and being underfed deliberately by c!Sam, c!techno is waiting for c!phil to read that goddamn book, they're both kinda desperate to get the hell out of this place, etc. maybe i'm being pedantic, but it's kinda hard to see this as being the most indicative of c!rivals and how they see each other when a significant part of their relationship (c!dream re: c!techno especially, but also the other way around) is a mutual respect and caution bc of the knowledge that they don't want the other as their enemy. sure, that hasn't exactly disappeared, but you're also seeing a lot less of it when they're lacking in any kind of gear and such.

i think that prison podcast is absolutely an important puzzle piece in c!rivals and should never be disregarded...but at the same time, this is a c!dream that has been put through the wringer. this is a c!techno who kiiiinda needs a second way out if c!phil hasn't read the whole thing in his will yet and doesn't seem like he's planning to any time soon. it makes sense for these things to affect the ways that they act, and so personally i do hesitate to say that prison podcast is the best representation of the dynamic at play here and that both characters were as honest as sometimes people are inclined to think that they were, you know?

2nd Bg3 dream in three days idk how I'm doing this

[spotlightstudios]

I did it boys, three weeks of feverishly thinking about him at work, 12 stickynotes, and a few hours of digitalization and he's alive! (Goofy Ahh Sidekick-)

And some bonus info! Because I do believe with my whole heart that Leon would dress up in that goofy lil wizard costume for his entire school career and then realize it was hella impractical last second and completely rebrand himself.

In the School Era doodles he's about 15-18, and his Pro Hero doodles are ages 19-??? (Whenever he retires or dies ig???)

thank you to Disco Elysium for being the game that gives the old disco ball i bought at a flea market some use after being in a dusty box for so many years

you've rekindled the spirit of disco in my heart

[starberry-skies]

getting on t would prob be such a pain and take forever and i have no idea if i even would want the results but also. i'd have first-hand experience for my projection fanfiction.

illumination would make a fucking great movie out of blowing up farewell my turnabout into a full runtime because:

- most illumination films have a higher bodycount than the average aa game

- literally everything about celeste and juan and adrian and matt, individually and as relationship units. people love touting these movies as not genuine but the adrian accomplice reveal would be so Good

- the soundtrack would fuck

- the Established Family Unit of nick maya and pearl disrupted violently by the plot. gjdhhshs illumination movies are pretty good at that kind of uncanny loneliness of being various degrees of alienated from your family for any reason and throwing this switch would be effective and terrible

- shelly de killer extra scenes that are just aai2 ice cream man

- nick kicking down those doors wouldnt be a joke actually. there's always marvel quips in these joke posts. they're fun movies but even when they're funny they arent so un-genuine.

- "what kind of jokes are--" matt pulls out his fucking burbon and when nick looks desperately at the guard the guy ducks, obviously having either given it to him or knowing it happens. The action is funny but the framing and audio cue make it clear that the cops not only know to an extent but Will Not Help You. he's only barely in prison. the guard has a large anime sweat drop as the shot re-focuses on nick staring into his own reflection in the glass instead.

- i dont think they'd shy away from this kind of visceral breakdown either? like. i think it'd be discretion cut away but the reunion scene between maya and nick and pearl is the next part and maya is like "what aboutt your record?" and nick goes "i won :)"

- credits scene dance party tribute to the jammin ninja which is a little bit tasteless but it's not worse than anything else that happens generally speaking. de killer is here.

I have to admit that I fell out of love with the dsmp a while ago but some part of it still hurts when I heard what happened, so I just wanted to thank you for yk supporting the victim and generally just not being silent about it or does mean a lot to me and I'm sure more people as well :)

Bless, but yeah I totally get what you mean, I was kinda similar; it's always gonna hurt when you hear about something like that no matter how distanced you feel from it now. But yeah of course <3 I'm always gonna be support victims first.

That being said! While I get annoyed that not enough big creators close to the situation talk about/acknowledge it, I fully get why others (especially random tumblr users) might feel less comfortable talking about it for personal reasons and they're under no obligation to do so. So just remember to be kind to eachother and know there is likely more support even if you can't see it <3

You and your little friends are going to be the main targets of the mass reporting and the FBI t*rrorism tip line. I hope you enjoy this blog while it lasts

what really bugs me about the omegaverse isn't the freaky sex dynamics, it's that if you're choosing an animal to model your freaky sex dynamics after, wolves are objectively the most boring choice. this website boasts about "cannibalism as a metaphor for love" and "the eroticism of the wound" but then in their wildest imagination the freakiest thing that can happen is getting stuck inside your partner for a little bit. YAWN. so much for the monsterfucking website! it's so mind boggling when insects are RIGHT THERE. there's your average "biting the male's head off during the act", "killing the male after being unimpressed with his displays of affection", but if i may make a suggestion, i think bed bugs have the freakiest mating model of them all.

while traumatic insemination, or wound fucking, exists among several invertebrates, for bed bugs it is the ONLY option. to love is to kill and to love is to die. their little tiny systems are not so neatly separated as ours. blood and lymph circulate together in a mixture called hemolymph. if you can get to their hemolymph, you're just about everywhere inside them. everywhere! talk about an all-consuming love! now i know what you're thinking. "this all sounds heteronormative". i have good news!

that's righr. bed bugs can yaoi. they're yaoing on your filthy bed right now, cucking you as we speak you piece of bitch. rejoice, fujoshis! i'd say your wildest dreams have come true but your wildest dreams are so fucking boring. unlike bed fugs.

inseminated male beg fucks show characteristic "mating scars". scientists have found no benefit to this practice. they have conjectured that an inseminated male might be able to carry another male's sperm to a female when mating, depositing both of their sperm in her (talk about a love triangle!) but in practice this has shown to be near impossible. they simply do this because they love it. the absolute freaks. and what do YOU bring to the table. you should be ashamed of yourself.

man there is something about consistently being 2 hours away from my parents that just subtly fucks with me. like i’ve completely fucked my sleep schedule to the point that i’m staying up until like 4 am every night and then sleeping until noon. I think it’s the distance, unfamiliar places, and the fact that it’s summer and i don’t have a job yet (i have an interview on wednesday! wish me luck!!) so it doesn’t feel like i have anything i really need to do during the day, which sucks extra because i could just get the shit i’m doing at 2 am done at like noon, but for some reason my brain doesn’t work that way. there’s been a lot of uneasy naps at 3pm this week and either that’s the reason my whole body feels like shit, or it’s the fact that i found a sports bra that’s basically a binder and i’ve been wearing 1 of the 2 i bought every day all week. I’m so fucking tired dude omg. i just want to sleep but my new house isn’t quite familiar enough that i can be completely comfortable in it yet, which is doubled by the fact that i have exactly 2 pieces of furniture in here, one of which is my bed. and my daily life is so passively stressful. like it’s a waiting game at this point in pretty much everything important. i’m waiting for my hs to send my college my test scores and final transcript so i can actually register for classes, i’m waiting for replies back from job applications so i can pay for utilities and food, i’m waiting for my sister to get better about managing her nutrition and shit so i don’t feel guilty Mentioning food that i enjoy. it just sucks. and i know i don’t have it that bad, even in just my family. Like my older sister just recently got diagnosed with type1 diabetes and feels shitty all the time, and now on top of that and summer school and her new-ish job, she has to deal with my lazy ass while i procrastinate some of the most important things in my life like they’re not literally the only things i have to do right now. it’s not like i won’t have any freetime if i just buckle down and do these things, but i’m so worried that something bad is gonna happen and i’m gonna end up in a shitty job situation like my last job, or that i’m gonna get feelings for a coworker or classmate and rush into a relationship in like a month and then inevitably have a horrible breakup because either i started overthinking everything and started feeling icky or i find out that they’re secretly a shitty shitty person and i end up adding to the list of the walking red flags i’ve dated because i was too smitten or horny to recognize that these people weren’t actually cool and cute, and were actually some of the most horrible people i’ve ever met and would eventually leave me with even more self-confidence issues and the idea that anyone i have a romantic interest in only wants to take advantage of my “naivete” that’s actually just poorly masked autism and severe anxiety, and use me as a  way to get compliments or nudes.

goddddd i need to stop dreaming about my fucking manager.... get OUT of my brain
