so on the subject of the "Crowley is secretly Revaan/Laverne/Levin/please Twst give us his name" theory, I think my feelings are best summed up as "I don't really buy it, but it's funny". like, in all seriousness, I'm not opposed to it; I have enjoyed the writing in Twst so far and I'm willing to trust that whatever happens will, you know, make sense and not be terrible. but I'm just not really convinced by the current evidence! maybe that'll change once we learn more, we'll see!
with that said, may I propose a few alternate theories about the possible Crowley/Revaan connection:
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#on this installment of things nobody asked but i'm going to talk about anyway#disclaimer that this is mostly a joke please don't get mad at me#(legit no shade to anyone) (speculation is one of the fun things about an ongoing fandom and you never know what'll turn out to be true!)#more seriously i do think there may be some connection that just isn't clear yet#but the more little breadcrumbs we get about what revaan was like the more i think crowley just doesn't act like him#i adore crowley don't get me wrong#(yes he's a dipshit. this is a feature not a bug.)#but like.#not to harp on the scene about lilia's nrc invitation (i am absolutely going to harp on it)#i do not believe that crowley would go through the trash to fish out the pieces and put them back together and save them#just because it was lilia's. just because lilia might want it again someday.#crowley can ✨yasashii✨ all he wants but we know what he's like#and i REALLY do not believe that lilia wouldn't recognize him. i didn't believe it before and i extra don't believe it now.#then again i do tend to be incredibly off about speculation so! who knows! i will trust the writing for now!#i do 100% believe that meleanor would fall in love with the world's biggest dumbass and then double down super hard. that part tracks.#that said i have decided that ambrose being revaan is actually the funnier option just because it would make crowley SO mad#it wouldn't make sense for him to be mad about it and that would just make him madder

Timothée when asked if he has a ‘Dune: Part Two’ popcorn bucket:
“I keep mine under my bed.”
TikTok credit to triplej
#timothee chalamet#timothée chalamet#juvenile but I snorted#All jokes aside I’m glad he allows the interviewer to finish their question before they are cut off.#I also recognize that publicists have a job to do#so no shade but it’s just something I noticed#a complete unknown#dune#dune part two#elle fanning#monica barbaro

Theres no season 4 because theyre too scared to animate the canon gay couple. They know its going to change the dr stone mrm ecosystem forever
#its the smug way that xeno introduces stanley as 'ex military' like yes he used to work for the state but now he works for ME#Listen to my problems#like tsukasen is already so popular if theyre gonna introduce another hot guy x silly guy couple AND theyre adults AND theyre evil#itll be fucking game over. actually maybe not. since theyre adults. they only wanna do dj of kids#and the current stanxeno doujins all have a very specific mature bl vibe that tsukasen struggles to match#and its so fucking funny when he immediately cracks an inside joke because he doesnt like stanleys smoking habit but hes literally the one#making the cigarettes for him like he just fucking loves him its so funny. and then when we see stan actually doing his job he complains#that xeno likes overloading him with equipment because he wants him to be at his best#and near the end he... he SHYLY hands him a pack of chewable tobacco like 'here since you cant smoke in space' <- HUH#like thinking of his nicotine addiction is already crazy enough but SHYLY looking away and handing them to him ? what was that ? why#did he get nervous ? is he gay ?#im not even talking about the face grab scene because stanley was literally about to make out with him if senku wasnt standing right there#this isnt fanfic like he reached out in canon and grabbed xenos chin and forcibly tilted his head up to look into his eyes#and it wasnt for a contrived plot reason he just did that because he wanted to. and it was never explained#like senku staring at ryusuis ass can be explained away because he just likes guys but stanley doing that was so actively and aggressively#homosexual behaviour i cant stress how much he just randomly did that#and the focus on his lips in the previous panels before that part. also pretty funny#his lips that were so beautiful that everybody thought he wore lipstick but no theyre just a perfect shade of deep red

IS SOMETHING CURSED HERE? IDK MAN. ominous signs maybe given we ended last year w/ len and we're starting this year w/. len. again.#cant believe this is the first proper drawing of 2024 lmao... as much as i love drawing emo shit drawing smthn silly for a change is fun lo#idk what proper posting times are thats not real this is tumblr.

*squeezes aine this time*
Read my Yandere! Dottore fics first (⁎⁍̴̆Ɛ⁍̴̆⁎)
Chemistry ๑ Magnum Opus
So @ainescribe decided to surprise me with more Darling fan art, this time of Dottore’s Assistant!! *sobs* I love it so much 。゚(゚´ω`゚)゚。
Once again, feedback will be in the tags. Thank you so much for enjoying my writing, Aine <3
#feedback#fan art#pranabefall#AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE ( ;∀;)#THE FACT THAT YOU DREW THIS?? AND SO SOON?? give me a moment. i need to cry happily#fun fact aine has made jokes about assistant and 'dead-eyed desi trauma' so my first thought when seeing this fan art was#'wow you can rlly see the desi trauma in her eyes' xD i say this both jokingly and seriously cuz AHH HER EXPRESSION!!#it's hard for me to describe visual art + techniques but you did such a good job at depicting assistant's emotions#is it bc of the thicker line art used for the eyes + eyebrows?? the lil eyebags/ creases under her eyes?? the uneven shading for her irises#all of that combined with her jaded facial expression and body language?? idk but just know that i love this depiction of assistant#especially since her emotions are an important aspect of her character design (to me at least)#moving on i love your original design for her. once again it's always interesting to see how my readers imagine and depict my darlings#and the way you drew her including the pose and design....she looks like a character from an animated show or visual novel!!#just put her name. caption. and dialogue on the side then she's ready to be romanced. 100% the fan-favorite character <3#i rlly like how you drew her hair!! it looks very fluffy and voluminous (sorry idk many terms for haircare either)#the scar is an interesting detail. makes me wonder if she got it before. during. or after the akademiya?? from an expedition/ experiment??#either way. ohohoho the potential....i imagine the scar serving as a lifelong reminder to assistant of what she has sacrificed for her#scientific curiosity and career. not to mention that the scar is located on her FACE which is 1) the body part most crucial to a person's#identity 2) makes the scar difficult to ignore. to the point that some people may recognize assistant's face mainly bc of her scar#poor assistant. at least dottore is one to appreciate such traits. i can see him administering first aid or lovingly tracing the scar......#moving on to her uniform. i love that it's practical but also stylish in its own way. a perfect balance methinks uwu#the patterned lapels. the lil brooch. the leather armbands. the fatui symbol. the tucked shirt and high-waist pants.....aaaahhhh i just#love these small details!! and it does look like smth which a fatuus would wear on the job~#i think that's all i have to say on assistant!! once again. thank you thank you THANK YOU FOR EXPRESSING YOUR LOVE FOR MY WRITING AND MY#DARLINGS!! it means the world to me and i'll always cherish our rambles and brainrot <3#dottore x reader#yandere dottore x reader#yandere fatui harbingers#fatui x reader#genshin x reader

even though i feel like i can confidently tell when a piece of art is generative A/I, i really don't feel inclined or really even justified calling someone out for it due to the precedent it sets - especially when artists who DO make their own pieces get caught in the crossfire for being inexperienced or making the choice to be more free-form when it comes to character design / consistency...
#i can't even really put into words how I can Tell#other than like... random blurry details in areas that would not logically have those details blurred - for styles imitating digital art#what i mean by this is: you can kind of tell when and where a type of tool has been used when it comes to digital pieces#if it looks like an artist grabbed the smudge tool and used it in a small area surrounded by crisper details ... it seems like an arbitrary#- and thoughtless decision#especially when it comes to character design pieces#this blurriness is also present in a type of style that wouldn't see much reason to use the smudge tool at all .. such as a cell shaded -#- toon style with thick outlines#i think what bothers me about this whole debacle is how we're setting up an environment where people feel inclined to lie about using-#-generative tools... part of the problem is the foundation of a/i art to be using people's work without . permission. im sure a good amount#-of artists wouldnt have minded MAKING pieces to be used solely for these type of tools#since generative art has been used as an excuse to replace artists in an attempt to render their work unnecessary or obsolete ... it's -#- become politicized and viewed as anti-artist. which. fair enough. it was pitched and sold that way#but even if like... these initial problems were addressed i feel like there'd still be a lot of stigma associated with generative art#since a lot of people's beef with it is the fact that it feels soulless. and i feel like that has to do with how the generated works are -#- being passed off as completed full pieces and not have any transformative work done upon them#i always joke about like 'they should invent art that's easier to make' ... but i don't want the hard work on my end replaced#just some help really. or guidance on completing my own work. A/I could have -possibly- been used as another form of reference#(if it were more competent. i think it's sloppy as hell in its current state)#but before it was uh... hugely controversial and right when generative A/I got more competent? i actually saw it as a toy.#i wanted to play with it and see what would come out... im honestly just more-so frustrated that it's viewed as on-par or better than-#-work done by human beings. what makes something art to me is if it's been transformed by human intention and connection#and i don't get how it's snobby to dislike A/I art for that reason. why do y'all think artists love when people dissect and examine their-#-work ? art is about human connection. we have ancient monuments and abandoned cave paintings we know nothing about-#- but are captivated by because we want to know WHY they're there. WHO made them. and for what reason#and i think a/i art is a painful reminder for a lot of artists that to a lot of people art is only valued through aesthetic merit#no acknowledgement for an artist's hard work .. their life .. all the personal intention behind their work#it's the commodification being thrown back in our faces tenfold#another tag essay by me. shiloh

anyways this might make some people mad but it's kind of hilarious how some chronically online people are constantly saying that Taylor isn't a real feminist and that her political engagement is useless etc etc, but she was the one who gave an endorsement with her full chest (not only that, but it was one that the Harris campaign said was hugely helpful to them and political strategists called well-written and effective) and some of the pop stars y'all hold up as the gold standard of activism are still hemming and hawing & regurgitating wishy-washy "both sides bad" nonsense because god forbid they stick their neck out and lose some of their internet clout for an election where our democracy is quite literally at stake
#even billie and finneas have endorsed (which was almost enough to make me forgive them for the Taylor shade earlier this year lolol)#(that last part was a joke no one call me a crazy parasocial swiftie)

GO! UNIFIED DEFENSE FORCES!!
A drawing I did a few weeks ago while getting nostalgic for some of the stuff I used to watch. This anime's cute, but it's got so many problems... but I gotta give it credit for being the one that jumpstarted my weeb/magical girl phase in elementary school. I had all the dvds and watched them all repeatedly. And I mean Repeatedly.
bonus silly comic under the cut:
(the defense song they cheerfully sing lives in my brain rent free, except my brain (unfortunately) chants this version I made up where the lyrics fit my late-20's crisis, done in an attempt to make myself feel better, LOL)
#ground defense force mao chan#defense force mao chan#mao chan#mao onigawara#misora tsukishima#sylvia maruyama#fan art#digital art#shaded#2023#I was SO obsessed with this one. It's scary. I did a rewatch and was shocked at how burnt in my brain some of these scenes were#all the corny jokes made kid-me laugh so much and the questionable bits flew right over my head hgsdksa#I don't recommend it but I'm personally allowed to find it super nostalgic for being such a core part of my childhood <3

Every time someone says they don't like the Ted Lasso finale, I love it a little more.
#joking#no shade#i get why a lot of people don't like#but there was so much good in it!#the goodbye song and how everyone in the stand reacted to it.#the boys revealing they kept parts of the believe sign with them#Rebecca choosing to stay with her family while Rupert is the one left alone#the list goes on!#ted lasso season 3#ted lasso spoilers#ted lasso

i am definitely procrastinating on my studies right now (hello, finals) and no one asked for this, but. okay, as someone who’s now just a gasp away from finishing her first year of law school, the way i can confidently say that yes, make friends at law school/professional school in general. but also the way i want to slam over everyone’s heads that like. also. it is quite literally necessary to stay in touch with and invest even more deeply in your friendships outside of professional school because hello did you know that those people are going to be the ones that remind you that you have an actual personality
#caroline talks#this is partially me joking around and partially me being really serious#not really shading my law school or even my law school classmates#bc i think for the most part. i am lucky to be in the community i'm in#but it is. at the end of the day. still law school#and i am. still at the end of the day. a member of the legal community now#and sometimes that's fantastic. and other times it sucks so much.#which is why. it's so important to have friends outside of the whole world#because i've had multiple friends of mine shake me awake and be like 'remember why you wanted to do law school. REMEMBER WHY'#and it's so hard for me to remember that sometimes.#so. yes. friends .. . good. non-law friends .. . . VERY good.#the reason i have not actually dropped out of law school yet is. because of that one (1) professor#who said 'don't you DARE drop out because of [X]. you are way too smart to do that'#+ also so many of my great friends who have gone 'u are doing something cool with your life. don't drop out'#and one friend going 'whenever u want to quit. just remember that a white straight man could be taking your job right now'#and i was so tempted to be like 'they're already doing that' but still. the saying did fill me with enough rage to keep myself from#quitting. so here we are besties!!!#fuck everything else i am going to GET this stupid degree with the power of SPITE and FRIENDSHIP

the greatest thing homestuck ever did for us was invent tricksters, thus letting us all design cute candy themed outfits for any and all characters even though the actual canonical designs looked like complete total fucking garbage
#they werent even based off of a single candy theme. it was just a mess of hideous colors and mixed motifs#i guess u could say they were just......... colours and mayhem? :D#teehee ^u^#but really making candy themed colorful outfits was the best thing they ever did for us#especially when we were all thinking of how trolls would look trickster-fied#it was awesome how we all collectively ignored that the actual trickster designs were ugly as shit#AHH!!!!!!!! EVIL SPIDER!!!!!!!!#ya im at the trickster part throughout my reread lol can u tell#such hideous gaudy fucking outfits and colors. like im sorry i dont mean to sound like a snooty snob but they really look so bad#not to mention the whole peachy joke controvesy. lol. (not actually loling)#but anyway im really happy we all just turned a blind eye to how hideous those piece of shit designs were in favor of cute candy outfits#i guess janes was KIND of ok. the most ok out of all of them at least#its cause her dress was a paler warmer shade of yellow it made it easier on the eyes#even though the whole joke was like. eyestrainy wacko bullshit. hers was the least awful

first one is a fine line quote in my bro’s (very childlike) handwriting on my left arm, and second is the (beginning of a) parkour tattoo on my right thigh, also for my bro 🥰
#i’m gonna get the parkour one touched up and added onto later#i kinda had to tap out on the shading lmao so it will be filled in around the letters#and i’ll level out the bottom before adding some floral and geometric motifs around it#tbh it’s totally fine with me if the lettering part never turns out ‘perfect’ anyway like the whole idea is a big inside joke#that has to do with injuries and my bro doing parkour growing up#so it feels kind of fitting as is?#i just want to tidy up the letters even out the bottom arch and finish filling it#and then add a bunch of fun stuff around that’s really clean and ‘pretty’#like my bro would like it already by concept alone and just be like ‘ok very you’ after adding all the pretty stuff around it#and bc they’re both memorial pieces that’s all i really want in the end 🫶#but yeah considering my friend is still in tattoo school and quite early in still i’m really proud of them!!#the arm tattoo especially im v sentimental about and i’m so impressed w how well#they were able to emulate his handwriting so 💗💗 big win for my heart#alex talks
