I don't know what came over me, but one day I decided to put Sonic and Shadow in cosplay.
I dunno, it just makes sense to me
#ihasarted#dragon ball#sonic the hedgehog#son goku#vegeta#sonic#shadow#shadow the hedgehog#surprise!#I still make art#that surprises me too sometimes#I just jump from fandom to fandom don't I#but don't we all#and before you think it#no this doesn't have anything to do with The Ace of Verbals#I was working on this before all that went down

Look what we've become.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#Initially I wanted to do a 'Mutiny' quote to follow the 'Luck runs out' quote.#But the musical earworms demanded a different blood to be drawn. And I think it works just as well.#Alright. It's time to confess something. I really struggled with this comic. I didn't want to draw it. Then I didn't want to upload it.#Because I knew I would be here in the tags writing and backspacing for hours trying to articulate my thoughts.#I'm going to talk about death and grief in the tags today so this is your WARNING to look away if you aren't in a headspace for it.#Sometimes in media there are scenes and characters which land on topics so specific to your wounds that it reopens them all over again.#Because here's the truth. When you've known someone like this for nearly your whole life...it doesn't matter how bad the fight is.#You always think 'We'll always have time. One day this dust will settle and we'll rebuild the bridge.'#And then the fucker dies!!! He dies and suddenly there will never ever be time to repair the rift.#Someone you loved died thinking you hated them. And part of you did just a bit. But love and hate aren't mutually exclusive.#He's fucking dead and you are left with so many broken and unfinished pieces between the two of you.#Jiang Cheng loses Wei Wuxian thinking that WWX thought they hated each other.#He's a younger brother who will one day be older than the person he lost.#Who has no one else in the world who understands those feelings of love and hate and grief.#I can't be normal about this character. I don't think he even heals me. Zero catharsis to be gained here.#I just look at his sour grape ass and think 'shit that's a little too close to home.' JC is my discomfort character.#I'm probably going to regret being this vulnerable in the tags in like. An hour. So. sorry if you see this once and never again.#EDIT: Yeah sorry this took 4 hours to muster the courage to post. Surprise update!#EDIT 2: You guys were being too nice to me on my sad comic to point out the spelling error. I have fixed it now B'*)

Any tips on drawing faster/more efficiently? I like your art and i notice you post pretty frequently and im very slow lol
okay so an important thing to note is that it's currently winter recess from my school, so i don't have to worry about schoolwork. and the job i have is really easy for me and i slack off like crazy. (that job is really low paying tho, so eventually i need to get something else going or i'm so screwed financially lol. i'm like on the edge of ruin 😜) i think it's important to mention those things because otherwise, i really wouldn't have the time to make as much shit as i do and post as much as i do. before i started drawing hazbin fanart, i was pretty addicted to a mobile game that i would play all the time to just kill the time at work. but now i draw hazbin fanart instead! it's been really amazing to draw again. i keep thinking "hey is this fun or what?" every time i'm working on a drawing. and so long as the answer is 'yes' then i continue.
i really don't know if that's helpful, but that's just what i'm experiencing! i'm sure as life changes, the dynamic of how frequently i post will change too. i'm just going with the flow.
#when i started this blog#it's cuz i knew i was gonna totally be obsessed with the show because of XP from previous fandoms lol#but i never intended for this thing to blow up i'm still pretty surprised#i'm not trying to build anything here really#i'm just posting and sharing the stuff i draw#what's been an unexpected consequence is that i've been SO inspired by the skills of the other artists in the fandom#and it makes me want to level up my drawing skills too#so sometimes i devote more time to some fanart vs others#again it just depends on my mood#sorry for the chaotic answer

I still haven't stopped thinking about this
#dedf1sh#acht splatoon#acht mizuta#side order#side order splatoon#splatoon 3#splatoon#in game screenshots#splatloafbud#a part of me wonders if thats why they move their arms a lot#like folding their arms or wrapping their arms around themselves#like there's a lot of emphasis with close-to-body arm movement#and acht leaning their arm(s) and/or body against walls too#it wouldnt surprise me if they sometimes also brush against walls as they walk

wolbert week day 1: a new life
a miracle is the sound of reality buckling
#wolbertweek2024#warrior of light#Ardbert#fanart#speedpaint#i draw sometimes#Final Fantasy XIV#unsyncing seat of sacrifice once again like mr elidibus sir do not aggro on me i am just inspecting the floors over here#anyway there are a couple of other minor tweaks in this au for how the shb patches go down#but basically seat of sacrifice sorta doesn't happen. or at least elidibus doesn't transform & ardbert's body isn't destroyed in the proces#1) wol with ardbert's soul in tow is very op (pls nerf)#2) he kinda takes elidibus by surprise there because he hasn't actually done a very good showing for him before lol#+ elidibus has seen how he usually never speaks up nvm abt raising his voice#but went out of his way to demand ardbert's body back & so he very clearly has wol rattled and is very smug abt it#and there's 0 hesitation on wol's part this time bc he feels bolstered by his promise to cylva to put an end to this#try summoning now when you're too busy catching these hands#THERE'S MORE but by god did these tags get away from me#anyway hello how are you all doing

Ay. An offer; one doodle of lovelie for the price of answering my question 🦅
Eh? Eh?— Anyways my question is; what’s an art tip you can give that really helped you? Anything special when drawing or do you just have a hand of god?
(Btw your one of my favorite artists and I love seeing your work homie, number 1 inspo fr. Keep on cookin 🦅💞)
WAHHH THEY LOOK SO SCRUNGLYYYY (despite his many, m a n y crimes)
#Also art tips?#One of them is don't follow some of my footsteps they are unhealthy LMAOOOO#Like me pushing through despite my artblock? Very unhealthy it can lead to a unhealthy relationship with art#Ya deserve breaks when your mind and body tells you you need it! Art should be a comforting experience!#No matter how long it takes smhh#I remember my partner had a really bad art block for like a year but they are still going strong with their art! Never feel discouraged!#Also another one is sometimes a messier lighter sketch is better for more dynamic pieces#If ya work too hard on your base it can lead to your piece feeling flat and too stiff#Go crazy go stupid! You might be surprised with what you can accomplish!#Don't be afraid to go outta your comfort zone with art stuff! You might find details you quite enjoy! HUZZAH!#Also also I fuggin love the liddol beetle doodles on the side of her LMAO SO TEENSY TINY#I'M SO HAPPY YA GAMERS ENJOY MY DUM LIDDOL ARTS IM JUST A LIL GUY BDJDJDJDJD;;;;

Why are people always so shocked when South Park handles a topic well?? I’ll see so many articles that are like “wow even SOUTH PARK is calling you guys out” tf you mean? They’ve BEEN doing this??
#I’ve seen fans of the show do this too#like why do people act like this show is nothing but a bunch of hateful nonsense???#I can’t help but wonder at times if some people here even LIKE the show because a lot of what I’ve seen makes me think otherwise#it’s one thing to be critical of the show (and you probably SHOULD be in all honesty)#being a fan of this show doesn’t mean you can’t acknowledge its flaws#there are a lot of things in this series that absolutely could’ve been handled better or aged poorly etc#but DAMN some of y’all I swear (mostly Twitter people)#like I once saw someone complain that the show has antisemitic jokes???#uh hello??? are you new here??#You don’t have to LIKE it I’m just saying#why are we surprised when a show known for being offensive is offensive??#I also just think people need to learn the difference between the show making poor writing choices (as they definitely have) and having#personal preferences#Not EVERY decision made in the show you don’t like means it’s bad writing#sorry I didn’t mean to go off of a tangent lmaooo#people just be getting on my nerves sometimes 😭😭😭

This is petty of me but there is something darkly satisfying about finally seeing everyone turn on a guy you always thought was a whiny asshole
Like I never followed him but when I got into MCC I very quickly noticed how there'd be arguments about things being "unfair" and how Scott Smajor would get called slurs after every MCC that Dream and his buddies were in and how that notably didn't happen if they weren't in the MCC.
#dream situation#idk it's just nice to see ppl turn from being too scared to say anything bad about him bc of his stans#to just speaking the truth#he's even worse than just a whiny asshole turns out but like. I'm not hugely surprised#it's a bigger scale with more serious allegations sure#but at the core of everything he says it's still the same ''look at me I'm the victim here they're all so mean to me'' mentality#anyway being a hater isn't healthy but sometimes it's quite. Hmm. Fun. Cathartic. Satisfying. One of those#gonna log off and do the laundry now like a responsible adult

What exactly are living gods in the blightseed universe?
Ok here's the (DANGEROUSLY vestigial at this point) Meta Deeplore:
There is a material form of energy that is utilized by biological bodies essentially as an animating force. This IS the vaguely defined, extremely ambiguous magic in the setting. It is what produces the actual experience of Consciousness and can be basically considered 1:1 with conscious experience. All life utilizes this energy (whether actually conscious life in the traditional sense or not).
It cannot be created or destroyed, and rather follows pathways of dispersal between one material plane and a parallel plane. This parallel plane is 'the ether' 'the dreamlands' etc, and has its own matter. Discrete entities from the dreamlands are essentially formed as a byproduct of consciousness and, when interacted with, are deeply susceptible to the influence of conscious Thought (they are essentially matter organized By consciousness and can be reorganized by consciousness)
These are the entities that can become living gods. Dreamlands fauna occasionally slips into prime material reality, at which point they are directly under the influence of consciousness and can be transformed. Dreamlands fauna in of itself is not directly perceivable but produces a sense of Presence, like the feeling of being watched when alone in the wilderness, a 'third man effect', a sense of inexplicable awe or fear, seeing shadows from the corner of your eye, etc. The combination of their tangible effects and their susceptibility to consciousness creates a self-reinforcing cycle that produces living gods.
IE: if one is on a forest and people experience the sensation of its presence, belief that there is some entity there may develop. This will follow the lines of the cultural worldview- say there are already beliefs in spectral hounds that encounter travelers at night, it might be interpreted as a location-specific hound, given a name and identity through stories. This in turn causes the dreamlands fauna to physically embody that form and the assumed qualities, and people will start having absolute materially real encounters with it, thus reinforcing the initial beliefs that created it and generating new elements of the mythology. This is what a living god is.
They need persistent, localized, and coherent beliefs to hold their forms. If a village creates a living god and is then wiped out in a disaster, the god will gradually lose its form and return to its initial state of a sense of Presence. This is also a limiting factor on the 'size' and power of a living god, if an entire religion formed around it and became a widespread phenomena, the living god itself cannot 'keep up'. It is sustained on direct and localized interactions, so belief becoming widely dispersed (especially if the localized belief is lost) will cause it to gradually become less discrete. The effect of this property is that living gods are almost always minor deities or spirits tied to a specific location by a specific nearby culture. A lot of deities in larger religions may have once had a living god component that is now indiscrete.
The living god of the Ur-tree is an unusual exception in that it was created over millennia, basically by the survival instincts of the Plants it interacts with, and has held its form over hundreds of millions of years due to this being ubiquitous and un-susceptible to cultural change. The only thing that could 'kill it' is if its forest was entirely destroyed.
So 99% of living gods can be described as thoughtforms created by the process of folkloric/religious development. They are created BY people and not the other way around, and nothing about their nature confirms or denies the existence of other deities or etc.
And yeah I'm going to be 100% real I am REALLY tempted to dump even this extremely ambiguous magical element like it is soooooooooooooooo fucking NOT important to the setting at this point. I've kind of allowed 'literal god entities created by mortal belief' to be just a tiny part of the world's fabric by their nature, like it works within the worldbuilding for such a hugely significant concept to ultimately be insignificant in the overall framework, so I COULD just Leave It but idk. If it were not for me wanting to still have my big fucking god tree and a talking dog as an actual character it would be out of here soooo fast..........
#And see I can see ways out of it without fully destroying the concepts like. I would fully lose my talking dog but could still#have the Ur-Tree exist in a similar (but perhaps less cool) capacity with like a Very Special Fungus that has maintained#a stable ecosystem over a very long geological scale.#Most of the established lore of specific living gods could continue to exist as folklore. It's already a thing that I avoid#confirming or denying any religious outlook and don't want to establish religions that are 'More Correct' than others#(I kind of don't like that dichotomy that sometimes comes up in fantasy settings with Confirmed deities.)#Just gonna say if the concept stops coming up altogether do not be surprised.#Like initially this setting was just a mass dumping ground for ideas but now that it's pretty heavily developed it has too much of its own#identity and rules for me to just do whatever. And 'canon' supernatural elements don't really have a place.#Every supernatural component of this setting getting whacked 1 by 1. The outro to 'Layla' playing in the background.#Press F.

It’s still such a baffling concept to me that anyone on here finds me attractive 🫣 like this isn’t a “I’m not pretty” kinda thing cause I’m very comfortable with myself and how I look and my body and all of that, but it’s always so strange that like….. other people think the same??? People think I’m cute??? People think I’m pretty??? Wild lol
#mine#text post#also not a post for validation#cause like.. again I’m not unaware of how I look#but I think I forget sometimes that I exist to other people and there’s the potential for them to find me attractive#also I’m sure there’s other reasons behind my surprise at that too lol#but idk#y’all are sweet ☺️

“I love both my Frost and Torbek plushies equally” I say as my Frost plush gets significantly more attention than my Torbek plush
What can I say? Frosty’s perfectly round head makes him so throwable! And so nice to cuddle with! And his forehead is the perfect place for kisses! I love Torbek but his ears throw off the balance. Otherwise I’d be yeeting that fucker everywhere (affectionate)
#i actually threw them side by side. frosty nearly touched the ceiling#not that I’ve been completely ignoring Torbek#I cuddled with him quite a bit when I was bedridden for a week#and when I was sick#and sometimes I bring him in the house with me to just vibe#tho I have to be careful bc my dog seems to like him too#and I’d rather not have her destroy Torbek#I mean it’d be an appropriate way for him to go. but also he cost me $30 and I can’t get him back once the plushies sell out#and if they haven’t yet then I’m thoroughly surprised#I was surprised that there was even 500 left to begin with. Thats a much higher number than I was expecting#anyway it’s 2:30am and I am. eepy.#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight#ouaw#torbek#morning frost

good-ending!kakashi and itachi need to have a little former traumatized geniuses cooking club where they get comfortable with making little "mistakes" and putting imperfect dishes on the table and improvising without needing to explain themselves like it's life or death
#the “former” is aspirational and v cute#probably sai and tenzo also join at some point#of course gai joins in occasionally because he's not to be outdone by his rival with cooking of all things#and also with these four it can get depressing quick#iruka is invited once as a courtesy when he shows up to work with one too many kitchen injuries lol#if there's one thing they're not the cooking club is not clumsy#... unfortunately he is quietly assigned a buddy any future attendances#usually itachi because itachi can put out fires very quickly#or sai because sai is (frustratingly) talented in the kitchen and doesn't feel he's missing out on practice#neji might also participate sometimes! he wasn't ever anbu but he probably needs the therapy-ness of it#he's not a huge group activities person but sai invites him and he's surprised by how low-key it is#he gets a little competitive with itachi lol#since itachi doesn't care about things like using all whole-grains or only organics or attempting to make a recipe vegan#he's very good at following directions don't get me wrong but he's not much of an experimenter unless he knows a dish super well#while neji just knows which replacements to use after doing it for so long#neji isn't super militant about it but he watches his diet to make sure it isn't imbalanced/overly protein heavy#and like itachi he doesn't care for strong tasting meat so he'll preferentially choose fish or plant proteins#this is what finally makes things more easy between the two of them! some of the others want to make a meat-heavy dish one time#but itachi isn't feeling it and neji shows him how to do a tofu alternative!#long tags#naruto#from the margins#hatake kakashi#uchiha itachi#hyuga neji#sai#yamato tenzo#umino iruka#omegaverse

the IV drip-like nature of the inherent ebbs and flows of kids being responsive and engaged in my classroom.
#like just when I cannot anymore I will get a response or a sign of life from a kid I never do#and it will revive me!#sometimes i wonder if I’m too reliant on the call-and-response part of my job#but how could it not be a dialogue in so many ways#and how could I ever not WANT it to be#anyway I know this is worded in the most confusing way possible but basically—it’s never set in stone#and the ‘good’ kids will disappoint me and the ‘bad’ ones surprise me#(I need to abolish both categories and ways of thinking)#and the fact that it is not always the same or predictable#but is inevitable nonetheless is just sooooooooo helpful#teaching tag#life ! moves ! on!#so does teaching!
