#that's for another time

[bite-scars]

Recently fully contenting with the fact that I have a big brother kink,,

I blame being stuck as the oldest child but with horrible anxiety, autism, and emotional neglect making the idea of being any kind of role model without one for myself Terrifying, combined with being transmasc and having that pretty much dismissed or at the very least constantly undermined literally all throughout my teenage years 💀

I was also just an obsessively horny kid for no discernable reason dhzjhx maybe it was the only clear form of affection from guys I was at all familiar with being romantic/sexually coded and not really knowing how someone was meant to bond with them otherwise idk. Add that to me literally making an imaginary friend that was just a caring older brother at first and you can imagine the progression of that had a hand in this also🧍

I'm just. I think enough Tough Love type kinda loser older brother that's also just super overprotective and will back you/help you through anything while simultaneously insisting you should "man up" fantasies could fix me--

Older brother that on the one hand has a rebellious dgaf overall bad influence reputation to uphold but on the other hand had to deal with the same parents I did and can't help but be protective of his cute little brother seeing him going through the same or similarly shitty situations, doing his best to mitigate the damage when he realizes how much more sensitive I am to it than he was.

Being the only person in the house I'm comfortable going to for anything, always making me feel safe even when trying to get me to push a boundary for my own good (whether it's Actually for my own good or not-). Insisting any and all unhealthy coping mechanisms I've turned to (or he's introduced me to) are done in his presence only, he's just concerned about my safety and doesn't want me doing them alone (again whether true or not I'm too trusting or dependant to notice a difference). Basically singlehandedly supporting my transition, making sure I get any and all hand-me-downs he still has lying around (and there are plenty, his closet is like a museum of old shit at this point, like he's never gotten rid of a thing in his life even though he definitely has. There are still character-print boxers in there that are pretty much my size), going over our parents' heads to talk with my school about it (having to "correct" all that would be too much effort for them anyways, they'll just leave it be at that point) and interacting with our parents in general for me unless it's absolutely necessary for me to be there.

Finding any excuse to brag and show off his adorable little brother to his equally delinquent friends, letting me join in on smoke sessions since he knows I can't go 10 minutes without following him around like a little puppy, always wanting to be in his lap (he tries to act like it's annoying but he thinks it's cute, not to mention convenient), and hey, with how high-strung i am already he decides maybe the weed would do me good anyways. Keeping the less respectful of his friends on a short leash around me, not hesitating to kick anyone out that can't heed a warning (full-stop, better not forget anything on your way out because you ain't gonna get another chance to get it back-). Getting quietly jealous over any of the others I end up getting sort of attached to, but rather than starting actual shit with them he'll just find ways to remind me that he's the most important to me, even if his friend is cool he's always cooler, right?

Idk this general underlying setup is a theme in a lot of my fantasies tbh, there's a lot that can vary between them (sometimes either brother is grosser or more genuine, really just depends on my mood lol) but the dynamic is always some flavor of this and it probably says a lot 💀

omg your animations and art are so pretty! if you don't mind me asking how do you animate portraits, do you rig them? :,o they look sooo cool, do you have a commission price chart anywhere I could see (sorry if it's there, can't see it on mobile!)

Hi thank you! My commission prices can be found here (under prices). I use after effects to animate them. Pretty much after I get the art layers all separated, I put the psd in AE and I use the puppet tool and also rotation/position depending on what I need. Making do with what I know how to do sdfsa

Like this is how I animate the hair, the keyframes affect the specific puppet pin

Haven’t collabed with @renconner in a long while for a mini comic (minus our big one, Instinct). We were talking about one of Stan’s lowest moments involving being outside with that damn sign, so we decided to make a comic with Stan remembering it. I’ve also kinda of assumed Filbrick would lie to Ford about what’s going on with Stan (Stan probably did too to some extent).

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

Arcane season 2 ending made me too sad so yk what, everything is fine actually, Viktor is now a teacher at the Academy and he mentors young Zaunite students. That's how I choose to cope.

AH Can we talk about the shift in colors here? Even in the human realm, Hunter's colors have always been yellows (gold, later brown). Even his human realm sweater and Halloween costume followed this trend.

The closest we get to a shift from this are is his clothes when he is in hiding at Hexside. Then, he is a mishmash of colors, still holding on to that random yellow bag that is clearly not his (stolen, as his Golden Guard identity was stolen by death from his predecessors?). He grips that bag just like part of him is still desperately gripping that old golden identity that now he understands is a lie, even though it is now ill fitting and no longer truly his. Same with his raggedy makeshift cloak (though perhaps the patches and color are a bit foreshadowing there...). He sports his green flyer Derby shirt, a scrap representing the one time he perhaps felt acceptance or belonging. His colors are all over the place, representing his confusion, disorientation, and loss in that phase of his character arch.

In OPs images though, in that second image set, we see his new character design. It's his costume peeled back, revealing the wolf shirt underneath. This has so many layers (pun intended).

At first, it is a heartbreaking representation of how Belos has robbed this poor kid of the closest thing he has had to safety and childhood. The first thing Belos does when he gets control of Hunter is pull off the costume and tie it around his waist. It's a subtly violent act, a stripping away of all that Hunter has painstakingly built over the summer in a single, thoughtless moment, just like Belos' act of possessing him. With that main block of yellow taken down, the black accents of his costume are really emphasized, and they remind me of the black streaks of Belos' curse as they took him over.

It doesn't end there though. I think the brilliant Owl House artists shift and redeem this design. It doesn't stay a symbol of Hunter's brokenness and what was taken from him. In this scene, we really get to see how his character colors are shifting because his surroundings mirror them. His undershirt is blue---opposite of gold/yellow on the color wheel. It's a cool color, more subtle/grounded than the brightness of his yellow color scheme before. It's a darker color, yes, but it's a color that he has picked for himself (he made the shirt after all), and it's the exact opposite of all that his colors were before.

What is more, now his wolf shirt is on full display. It's his new found family, worn right over his heart (an important location of redemption, life, and power for him right now). There are seven wolves, wolves who 'make great parents,' as Camila says, who make great, loyal, loving family members.

His pain still isn't gone (it's there, ties around his waist, carried with him), but neither is the work he did and the progress he made. He has his pack guarding his heart, and though he is nothing like what he was before, and the outlook is dark now, perhaps what he will become will be much better.

......WAIT I forgot to talk about his eye colo---

Hunter once again tearing up in the face of people telling him they care about him, and I’m making it everybody’s problem.

What's your take on Odysseus's trauma and recovery back in Ithaca?

*looks at all the comics I made*

Lol but really, I realistically expect it to be severely rocky. He’ll have good days, mostly bad days, but what keeps him grounded is of course his family, you know?

But imagine losing your entire fleet under your command...

...only to come back to an entire population of thousands of people, expecting that you will lead them.

What if he fails again?
