ok someone please correct me if i'm wrong but am i weird for thinking those 'audiobooks don't count as reading' posts are ableist as fuck????
#ramble#my first thought was like: how is this even a debate what about blind people. not every book comes in braille but MOST have an audiobook#or dyslexic people#you still enjoyed the book!! you still absorbed it!!! you got EXACTLY the same thing as people who read the words!!!#how does it not count????#i guess you miss out on the 'learning new vocab' you get through seeing the words but also#i don't really do audiobooks but i do a lot of podcasts esp fiction podcasts#and i have ABSOLUTELY picked up new stuff from there that helps with my writing#someone please explain how this is even an argument of COURSE it counts????#idk in my opinion finishing a book means 'i put the words in my brain and i thought about them and i enjoyed a story'#not 'i held a stack of paper in my hands for a bit'#i'm v lucky that i do have time to sit and read. and whenever i commute anywhere it's public transport so i CAN bring a book with me#but if i didn't have the free time or had to drive for hours everywhere i would be STOKED to still get to enjoy books#it's been REALLY bothering me lmao idk why i feel so strongly#for some reason it's giving the same energy as like. being told you can't take a comic or manga from the library bc it's not a 'real' book#of course it's a real book it's a story somebody wrote down#i can see this spiralling into 'if you have a kindle you aren't reading'. you have to sniff the paper. feel the papercuts

Here are some Season 2 Arcane GIF comparisons before and after I color and sharpen them! | Season 1 Comparison GIFs
#arcane#arcaneedit#gifmaking#reminder that if ur not a fan of the coloring and sharpening then i dont need to hear ur opinion so fuck off and make your own gifs :)#sooo yeah!!! just sharing this very old coloring comparison i use from time to time to make sure i follow a certain peg for my gifs#but i dont really follow it to the T of course#and now i will use the tags to rant/comment about my coloring process lmao#ok so.... arcane s2 is SOOOOO much brighter than s1 i am so so so thankful we have such bright scenes instead of all the dark ones in s1#because it makes my life so much easier#that being said my coloring isnt really perfect i still cant handle more complex tones like the mel gif......#i used to have a more stylized coloring wayyy back in s1 (esp when u look at my old gifs) but i kinda realized i had to change it#so i scrapped all my old psds and now coloredit EVERYTHING MANUALLY#hence why sometimes i gif the same scene but theyre colored different since i never use a preset PSD now#however it became way more tedious to make gifs... so yeah.... lmao#but in the end i like it more!!! i like that my new coloring just basically matches the show more but is just brighter and more saturated#unless ofc i dont like the tones of the original show i.e. the vi gif you see there where its super green gray???? idk i dont like it so#i recolored the entire thing#anyways thats really it coloring will always be something i continue to try to improve on but recently ive just been v busy so i just#speed color and edit everything and dont rlly take all adjustments into account so no more complex tones and#i just stick to basic things#oh right sharpening! so for sharpening i use a very basic setting: just 500 px and 0.4 radius which is what i use for almost everything#i also dont add noise bc the landscape photographer in me does NOT like it LMFAOOOOOOOOOO#but yeah thats really it for sharpening oh i also use 4k sources as much as possible bc it gives the best quality and if#i cant find any source i just upscale everything by myself then crop stuff again back to 540 px and imo it really just does look better#personal tag

The thing about Stede is that he is simultaneously Ed's big strong man, and also his baby. The same way Ed is the most brilliant competent man Stede has ever known and also a kitten. They really contain multitudes in this ship huh

The prototypes to my Geology Monsters series were these two funky guys from March 2023.
I made the sketch for the marten in the plane from Naples to home, after we'd done a full circle around Mt. Vesuvius and you could really peer into its crater and see how close it is to the metropolis. I had also visited it during my stay there (but it was cloudy all week so unfortunately the view at the summit wasn't good), as well as the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. That really sparked something in me. These two volcanic beasts were painted the same week after I got home.
Later I picked up the concept again and the monsters became more, well, monstrous. I still like these though! Both are small paintings done with ecoline inks.
#stylistically I was inspired by the Roman art I saw during that trip especially for the marten#The marten was like a (strato) volcano spirit and the hyena represented pyroclastic flows#I'm still tinkering on the design for the beasts of pyroclastic flows and surges#I like the yeen but it's very tame#I want these monsters to be way more scary because hot damn those things are way more terrifying than any lava in my opinion#it's kind of poetic that Vesuvius is the first volcano I visited#since I had to read the eruption report from Pliny in my Latin class when I was a teen#and that already made a big impression on me#and later I studied Roman archaeology and of course Pompeii comes up a lot there too#Just felt like I came full circle when I was finally there it was kind of emotional#I'd go back in a heartbeat to explore some more#geology monster#avanii's art#traditional art#ecoline#volcano monster#marten#hyena

At its core the most important relationship arc in Avatar the last air bender is the one between Zuko and Aang honestly if you can’t see that then I don’t think we watched the same show.
Aang and Zuko are the true Yin and Yang in the show the push and pull. Fire and Air right down to their personalities.
It is both of them that have to go on the journey of learning that fire is more than just destruction can be used for more than just to hurt.
And that right there is the point it doesn’t matter if Aang defeats Ozai and they bring the fire nation to heel. Without a character like Zuko the fire nation would be lost forever to distrust and unrest, balance would never be reached. Because despite everything they have done all the damage they have wreaked the world still needs the fire nation and to work with the fire nation they need to know that fire can do more than hurt. And who best to show them than a prince who’s been burned himself?
The war started with the fire nation attacking the air nomads in a bid for control and it will end with the fire lord embracing an air nomad and taking ownership of his nations actions. You must first close a book before you can start a new one.
Aang needed Zuko just as Zuko needed him because to get peace a true lasting peace you can’t just cut off the head of a snake you have to change its mind. The world already lost the air nomads the balance is already precarious, it cannot afford to lose the fire nation too.
Afterall Air can snuff out a flame and it can also fan them. But when the two elements are balanced one existing in peace with the other it can also make a warm hearth for the home.
#they are literally each others foils even when they are on opposite sides they help each other grow into who they are meant to be#of course there are still dissenters and Ozai supporters#but the country is not in upheaval like it would have been if a whole new leader was put in place by the alliance#or if the alliance had to take up temporary rule#also having zuko already on their side means they could mostly just kick off on rehabilitation#Atla#avatar the last airbender#zuko#aang#avatar aang#Prince zuko#atla analysis#atla meta#atla zuko#atla aang#god the fact that pro Aang is an established tag kills me 😭#fire nation#air nomads#character analysis#I know a lot of people claim tui and la for zutara but honestly katara and zuko are far too alike to be push and pull#but again do as you please I’m just giving my opinion on my blog please do not attack me#zukaang

teen wolf meme: [3/4] families -> the yukimuras
When my wife and I married, I took her name, as she was the only surviving member of her family.
#teen wolf#kira yukimura#noshiko yukimura#ken yukimura#twedit#twgifs#mine#my gifs#twmeme#yes noshiko is like 900 years old and kept that a secret from her daughter but they're still the most well-adjusted teen wolf family#at least in my opinion#also ken is theee husband ever like your wife once summoned a demon and now it's back to terrorize your daughter and her friends#and of course you're gonna stand by her side and help her#a girlboss and her malewife#and their daughter with electric powers

Bro really said "I'll gladly drop a few babies from a wall to keep my men alive"
which is hilarious like Odysseus do you think a god coming down to tell you to kill an infant is a common occurrence
#I know thats the whole point of the song like to highlight him becoming a “monster” but still#fucking hilarious in my opinion#also tragic of course#epic the underworld saga#epic the musical#jorge rivera herrans#epic the circe saga#epic the cyclops saga#epic the ocean saga#epic the troy saga#Odysseus

#klance#halloween au#im projecting on the internet my own impostor syndrome#i feel that im awful and should be learning how to draw instead of writing shitty fics#and when i want to write a post and share a little doodle or smth - 'sorry' is right between the lines and its so frustrating#like???? nobody probably cares#im either here or im not#and if i need to finish that little abomination of a fic then so be it you'd think people wouldnt mind too much#and would still want to listen to my captions and see whatever silly doodle however silly it is as long as its true#..............but what if its all redundant#what if i cant draw after i had to flip my entire routine upside down#and will forever chase a thrill of feeling like a prolific artist and it will be always out of reach now#what if people scroll past my art and feel nothing now#what if world is filled with people who kinda hate klance but stay out of reflex and not bc its their deeply routed source of comfort#what if i reached an artistic plateau and will never be good enough#what if this is the limit of my 'talent'#what if i will forever love the projects i want to share but will always hate the execution of it wanting to fix it fix it fix it learn mor#i keep reading the little notes i get on orders#some screenshots i saved#i find good words and opinions and love letters to art as a whole#and i feel insufficient#subpar#i drew a comic about it to an old poem and still havent finished it#there is a point of trying your best when it stops feeling like a challenge and feels like a failure#its the moment where you keep going of course#and yet#there are emotions im sure nobody shares on social media bc we just try to get through them#but who else will take it better than tumblr tags#either way if im less around its because im dealing with creational self-hatred and artistic ambitions#but on the other hand arent all artists like that? i ran out of tag space btw have an awesome weekend

#also people who Know my tumblr send it to me via fb/instagram like hah! you!#but then people who DONT KNOW my tumblr post/share it and i have to be like. hmmmmmmmmm. should i share that thats Me#or do i NOT want more irl people to know where i chronically overshare my every thought and feeling lol#oh well#new year's resolutions#ramblings#its going to be way harder but i think this year mine is going to be learn to draw#like i wanna find an online follow-along-at-your-own-pace course or some how to draw books or something#really start from the bottom up#but also i tried looking this up in october and actually its hard to find one good solid resource and mostly you need a Bunch but uh#i need to make this Managable and Small Scale or i will not be able to keep it up#so still pondering and if anyone has strong opinions here lmk

as someone who plans on publishing their story with their ocs one day, i do gotta say, if u think your personal interpretation of a character is better than canon: make your own oc. fandom has become so entitled these days and it worries me as a story creator because if you seriously think you can write it better? than do it. but do it with your own character. my characters are written that way because i want them to be, and if you think that thats just not your cup of tea?? then literally make your own blorbos to play dolls with. you have the creative freedom to do just that. fandom gets so attached to how they personally perceive a character that people end up acting like their word is law. but it is not, canon is law, and if you want your personal taste to be canon? make your own thing. be creative. make something. its good for brain rot.
#i did this#agitha abbott my oc for affinity my babygirl baby is a chloe bourgeois rip off lmao#i saw chloe and didnt think her character was being done justice so i made my own oc to do with what i pleased#ive drawn agitha with chloe because chloe is her direct inspiration#but who am i to tell thomas that his character he created for his specific purpose is wrong for writing her that way?#i mean of COURSE i think his reasons for writing her that way and blatantly hating his own character is dumb incel shit#but thats my opinion and chloe is still going to be chloe the way HE writes her because thats canon at the end of the day#i may want chloe to say or something more reasonable to accurate to the tone or something but thats just not what she would do#therefore if i want a character to do with as i please i shall make my own#its more fun that way#no one to fight with#free to reblog btw#id like for more people to see this

you know what I think I was kind of cooking with caterina/johanna hezenkoss as a concept actually. it's giving gilf andruil/ghilan'nain narrative echoes and also if hezenkoss teaches caterina to become a lich/become basically immortal by other and probably even more immoral means lucanis won't have to be first talon anymore and can focus on what he likes about the job (i.e. the actually killing people part not the admin work). everybody wins (*glados voice* ...except the ones who are dead. BUT THERE'S NO SENSE CRYING OVER EVERY MISTAKE --) . here's how toxic yuri can still save the day and also make it worse
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#johanna hezenkoss#caterina dellamorte#caterina dellamorte x johanna hezenkoss#idk what it is about this game that gets my femslash rarepair brain going but here we are again. and I'm correct every time#tell me skull fragment hezenkoss having an antivan sugar mama isn't a great idea. I won't hear it I think I am right about it actually#lucanis -- good news! and bad news. you have a new step grandma#I like to think that caterina would be the only person in the world to completely vibe with johanna's war game intensity#she's just as competetive and just as capable of forming Very Strong Opinions about the RIGHT way for the game to be played#sort of like a magneto and professor x homoerotically playing chess together vibe while johanna is temporarily out of a body#...caterina might want hezenkoss to pull some immortality bullshit on lucanis and illario too of course which would be non-ideal#but there are enough people looking out for lucanis at least now that I think we're safe from that he's got two watchers#watching his back (ahaha)#imagining this to be canon at the very least in the worldstate where both rose de riva and lucanis are marrying mortalitasi#(rye and lucanis still get together even tho rye is not rook that time around it's a whole thing. in my head. and also heart)#b/c it would make the conspiracy theories about some grand sinister nevarra/antiva team up so much funnier#and also significantly more true

Dean shows up to Stanford unannounced and the little sister who left home a few years ago is now a not-so-little brother. Dean reacts badly. Of course he does. When Sam says "I was never your sister" Dean hears "I was never YOURS". Because if he got this fundamental thing wrong about Sam for all these years, it means he never really knew Sam the way he thought he did. As far as he's concerned he had Sammy memorized, every aspect of her personality noted down in his brain like a private religion, and Sam's telling him that all of that was wrong. He's losing Sam. He's losing the idea that he ever had Sam. It's all about ownership, his little sister belonging to him, and now he's having that essential part of his world challenged. Dean's response is denial - "this is a phase, she's just confused". Until eventually he has to reconcile the Samantha he knew with this Samuel who's come into his own as a man. He has to recognize that he did know Sam - because despite this missing piece being put into place, Sam is still Sam. And he has to realize that if he wants to have (or frankly, own) Sammy in the future he has to adjust. If he doesn't get his head out of his ass he'll lose him forever.
#i love trans Sam fics but it bugs me when Dean embraces it or just shrugs it off like no biggie#Dean is possessive as fuck and probably knows little to nothing about trans people#of course he still loves Sam#but the idea that he'd be chill and woke about the whole thing?#in my opinion no way in hell#i think Dean would take it SO personally#you're MY little sister and I'M the one that picks your gender!!#lmao half joking#but yeah he'd take it as an affront to his very being and to everything he's ever been and done for Sam#that's my trans AU headcanon#the same goes for transfem Sam too btw#i just went with transmasc because I'M transmasc and have a soft spot for it#starting to think i should put in the effort and actually WRITE this fic#but my number one hobby is daydreaming and procrastination so#no promises lol#supernatural#sam winchester#dean winchester#gencest#trans sam winchester#why are my tags so long oops

Pretty 5 is so beloved bc we have:
Arashi "I dream of being a beautiful woman and also had explicit attraction to girls and my male teacher" Narukami.
Tori "I'm in love with my unit leader but he's in an arranged marriage to my sister and I feel selfish for wishing it was me" Himemiya.
Mika "I'm going to live with my beloved partner in Paris as a direct parallel to the life his queer grandfather never got to have" Kagehira.
Hiyori "I'm a princess in the units with the most fanservice imaginable and almost kissed my partner in an mv 3 times" Tomoe.
And Aira "I blush over idol fanservice and am a tsundere towards my unit leader and enamored with my former online friend" Shiratori
#my point being: they're all queer as fuck and i love them#pretty mission made me cry#eichi's whole same-sex marriage speech was such an emotional gut-punch jesus it was so good#plus the iconic “oshi-san's gettin' married? ...there could be death”#“'we' are not currently respected for our opinions” ara-neeeeeee#and of course every “jun-kun!” ever#aira thinks they're all insane which is fair but he's also their beloved kohai and he does still adore them#ensemble stars#enstars#ensemble stars music#pretty 5#enstars pretty 5#enstars circles#arashi narukami#tori himemiya#mika kagehira#hiyori tomoe#aira shiratori#gonna tag the implied ships which are#eitori#shumika#hiyojun#hiiai#kohaai#kohiiai#<- they're all such good ships btw i love them

rehashing an old post but i think a lot about how in trying to absolve hunt instead of seriously addressing the power imbalance/impropriety of the relationship between him and the mc, pixelberry chose to make it so it’s the mc “pursuing” hunt and being really forceful about it. in this case, it’d be okay because it’s not him being weird and, well, the mc really, really wants this! this was not an well thought out decision because 1. it doesn’t remove the need to address a professor dating his student, and whatever that means for both parts + the story they’re in, and 2. in the process they make mc a person with no respect for boundaries who quite literally stalks this man and assaults him under false pretences. not to mention how the writing in these quests is confusing and contradictory (the mc is written in two different ways at different times, whatever the plot is in need). just… really bad on all fronts
#i still think they introduced bianca’s blackmail right after mc/hunt get together because they realised they now had#a professor (their most beloved character) dating one his students and that’s not a good look + they didn’t want to address it. and#i’ve always thought they had a hard time condemning hunt. lmao. plus the longer their relationship went on the more… dubious it made hunt’s#character. and this can’t happen. which is why in my opinion the entire plotline happens in the span of two weeks#which is of course bad writing but once again ill thought decision. they get exposed but they keep dating. that’s still a professor dating#his student (who is STILL in his classes for some reason) and the game keeps ignoring it.#you ruined your main character and wrote a really gross questline for nothing#edit. also. if this were in any other app (and not a kids game)#i don't even think they'd need to turn to the camera and say This Is Really Bad. they just had to address it and what it meant for the#story. you can write stories about a multitude of topics and you don't need to categorise things in good and bad. right or wrong.#that's not really compelling. but you need to think about the implications of said topics. which is something pixelberry actively avoided#doing here. sure hunt gets “punished” for dating mc but it's laughable and Nothing Really Happens. plus mc assaults him. can't forget that
