been thinking about them lately ok
#lots of doodles ok these arent even close to finished and never will be#dhmis humanizations#dhmis duck#dhmis yellow guy#dhmis red guy#dhmis#anyways. i think rgs crush on duck is insaene in general i think its WORSE WHEN THEYRE HUMAN#i also think its really fucking funny#obsessed with this tiny balding little man who is Mean To Me#hes like a kid who would get bullied in high school to me#like idk. theyre da same to me in human au. which i suppose this is an au even tho im just trying to translate them as closely as i can#in my heart theyre still in the pink house#this is not like the apartments au to me at all. so to me the dynamic is still the same#and for those of u who dont remember that dynamic is RG being down bad for duck bc he WEIRDLY is godbless. but also insanely evasive and sh#and duck does not act like anything is happening between them but also in his head theyve been married for 30 years. but its obvious to him#so he doesnt feel the need to say anything duh.#and if he ever brought it up it would be a best friend debate again#'you think IM your husband?!?!' of course you are !! :] 'IM NOT. YOUR HUSBAND !! YOU DONT HAVE A HUSBAND!!'

shadow bandee design i made awhile ago :D (jan 17th, 24)
i feel like mirror bandee would be very skilled without putting the effort in, getting where they are by power, instead of earning it through putting the work in. this would lead to them becoming over-confident and become the cause their biggest weakness. a friend pointed out this would mirror dedede in the beginning of the series too!
#not the usual type of thing i post.. but i like seeing peoples headcanons. why not post mine#kirby#bandana dee#mirror world#im not sure how i feel about the mirror design..? it takes aspects of dmk skirby and shadow ddd#like with the over abundances of greys and reds. and dmks yellow eyes. it eases the usage of the first two colors#and the different bandana.. i didnt want the same thing as his counterpart. it doesnt tell characterization#just like how dmks mask is broken. and the red bandana can add to shadow ddds red in his design. to show hes apart of the kingdom#ahh ahh the different weapon too.. they all have different weapons dont they? its just something simple to show characterization.#a weapon doesnt need to be overcomplicated.. this just shows enough to tell where he is at this point#the eyes probably look edgy.. looking at the other mirror counterparts eyes theres usually something different about them#sorry for the design analysis i love rambling. kind of crazy how i hate talking in a public area though LOL#gamezz.txt#fanart

sometimes i kinda forget about the yandere aspect of ray and then ill remember he killed blaze cause he flirted too hard at the mc
#im kinda living the unaware mc life fr#like theres a lvl of self awareness i have when playing these games but i feel like it was lower than usual lmao#blaze is a fool dont get me wrong but hes obviously just doing it cause he knows ray likes them#hes not really into the mc so theres no like actual legit threat there...#so...i dont think rays above kicking the shit outta someone cause they stared (leered) a little too hard#even if the mc was like dont bother...i feel like he might still do it....maybe??#BUT he so 'guy' to me u know?? so my brain doesnt acknowledge things properly#like he gives a kinda chill vibe with the way he presents himself#AND THATS THE THING#ig i mainly associate his yan moments with his hero persona#so in my head when i see ray#im mainly thinking about all the nonviolent parts#which doesnt really make sense since he lasered a whole room of ppl as ray!!#ig my brain like simplified it for me to process easily lol#its interesting tho! ...an mc struggling with acknowledging both these sides at the same time...#ik u can pretty much pick who u want at the end (ray or bs)#but i feel like thats more u picking the main side and the other side still exists but much smaller now#anyways yea IDK its so weird cause ill suddenly be like....this man set the mcs apartment on fire to see if they would call for him#AND THE MC HAS NO CLUE!!#theyre aiming for a healthier relationship in the ray ending but HOW healthy can it be realistically?? the best ur getting is a dormant yan#'idk hes so chill to me guys!!!'#*ray has disproportionate reaction to something* *ray has disproportionate reaction to something* *ray has disproportionate reaction to so-#tho i think he still pretty up there on the chill scale considering everything that is happening....#ray just kinda lives in the back of my mind forever now ig...and like the scenarios in my head r like super mundane#so i was like....'wait but he did some fucked up stuff how come im not leaning into the toxic parts like i usually do!?' lol#binary star hero

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

the thing about the charming siblings is i want to make them tragic. you're perfect, I wish I was perfect. you're allowed to not be perfect. I resent you for being perfect. I hate you for being imperfect. I want to be a boy. I want to be a knight. I want to be you. I could be better than you. I wish your destiny was mine. I wish people loved me the way they love you. I wish she loved me the way she loves you. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. I love you. I miss when we were friends. we never talk anymore. do you even care? you know nothing about me. you took my destiny. who am I? I'm supposed to be the responsible one. don't leave me. get away from me. when did you grow out of being a little kid? i miss home. the only place that feels like home is you. do you love her? do you love me? brother. sister. i was supposed to protect you. I'm sorry. I forgive you. nothing will ever be the same again.
it's about perfection and performance. it's about playing roles. everyone has their role to play. what if i want to be something else, something more. it's about femininity and masculinity. it's about not fitting in to either. is it about who you're supposed to be or who you want to be? I did it for you. I didn't ask for that. I'd burn the world for you. you never cared about me. I think of you always. there isn't room enough for all of us. i wish you'd never been born at all. I couldn't live without you.
#the thing about dexter and darling is they have a lot of parallels#they both thought their love interests (raven and apple) liked daring#they both wish they were like daring (though in different ways)#neither of them have a confirmed destiny#but at the same time dexter gets to be a prince and do the things she wants to do#and i think Dexter is sort of jealous of her because as another prince he gets compared to daring more#Dexter resents his siblings for being seemingly perfect and he also resents darling for how she doesnt even have to be perfect#bc she doesnt get compared to daring in his eyes#darling does feel the need to be perfect though and resents that she can't live the life she wants but her brothers get that life#daring TO ME has a superiority complex to cover up his flaws bc hes severely scared of being imperfect#but at the same time he wishes he was allowed to be imperfect bc the pressure is killing him#hes relied on false bravado for so long that he doesn't know who is without that especially when he loses his destiny#so he resents darling for her effortless confidence in who she is#i think they all used to be super close and daring felt like the one who needed to protect his siblings#but they grew apart as they got older and started to resent each other and he lost that protective instinct#but they all miss when they were closer#i think daring realizes he was “supposed” be the one protecting his siblings once darling starts protecting/saving him#to darling its too late for him to protect her bc she can protect herself and doesnt want to be protected#to dexter though i think a part of him wishes daring stood up for and protected him more#they all desperately need to be flawless but its killing them#and they all desperately want to be each other#and they all just want their siblings back#but they can't go back to when they were children#and they can't understand each other as they are now#but they love each other anyways#even as they resent each other#eah#ever after high#ignore that i wrote 50 million more things in the tags#i realize this may be out of character or whatever but idc

ok so after posting about how burnt out i've been this year i had a thought to stop letting helene constantly fucking jumpscare me all the time (i saw a new picture of it earlier today & it felt like getting lightly punched in the solar plexus) & address it for real by writing out every little detail i can remember so anyway i'm 7 pages/3212 words in and only halfway through the actual hurricane
#i had to start with the calm before the storm obviously.......sept 25-26 were a Thing all on their own#my original idea was writing a script for a sort of narrative comic diary thing but y'all know i have a habit of getting wayy too wordy#so if i don't make it to the end of this thing & still have the drive to make it a comic who knows if it will ever see the light of day#but i think it could help me process things a lil. even if i'm technically reliving that time i can analyze it a bit now & pick it apart#i have to stop for now tho & go to bed immediatelyyy bc i Do think i accidentally triggered myself a lil oopsies !! got too into my memory#doesnt help that i'm currently using the same lamp that i was using while my power was out so my brain keeps tryin to tell me falsehoods#its weird tho bc i do think i feel better about it. but also well aware this is not a mindset i want to be putting myself into lmaoo#honestly it's probalby just because it's 5am rn. i will sleep and then go “damn that was crazy. anyway” and i'll be normal again goodnight

Tumblr! Let me edit my own fucking reblog! I need to add more tags on that post!!!
#if youre wondering i hate slow burn with miscommunication most#wtf is hanahaki???#also why can i freely edit every post but that one#slow burn is... fine? i dont care for any ships that employ slow burn apart from bubbline and id NEVER read bubbline fic#miscommunication is never ever written well in fanfic#'but my story--' no fuck you your miscommunication plot is bad#it works well in stories where there are fundamental incompatibilities with what characters NEED#it works well in shera proper because catra needs the exact opposite of what adora needs#catra wants devotion but also agency and adora cannot be devoted because she has to protect EVERYONE#and that means stripping catra of her agency too#and catra sees that as adora thinking shes bettervthan her#it doesnt matter how much they talk about it - their core feelings about the world and lack of psychological skills further push the clash#same for glimmer who wants agency and friendship when adora and bow are pushing her in a protective little shell#she sees it as being stripped of her agency!!!#she sees it as proof people think shes useless... her greatest fear#but adora sees it as protecting her#and the more glimmer lashes out the more adora just becomes Shera because adorq herself feels no use to anyone

the idea of arens old gangmates really liking saiko because of a combination of multiple misunderstandings and saiko just having common sense (making him look really smart, especially compared to them) and being a lying bastard is just so hilarious to me i feel like theres so much to do with it LMAO
#like he would lie about being in control of the whole school and since theyd assume aren is the boss of PK that means saiko is arens boss#also he gets caught in the moment and ends up lecturing them about still trying to involve aren in delinquent stuff#same kind of vibe as when he demolished arens romantic idea of a biking trip. he goes on and on about how their refusal to accept#arens decision would make him uncomfortable and feel like they dont support his choice after all so he would then spend less and less#time with them until they completely drift apart and theyll only have themselves to blame#and theyre all crying like 😭😭😭NOOO we dont want that saiko aniki u know him the best what should we do so that doesnt happen😭😭#aren would beat him up when he finds out but being treated like he was arens boss for a little while was totally worth it#saipsi#kubometo#? i guess

Thought I was being clever and brought exactly 2 euro in my dumbshit pocket change to the shop for One (1) cup noodle so I wouldnt be tempted to get anything else only to find that in the last 24 hours, they have suffered a price hike of 25c. God hates me and wants me to eat better
#had to jingle back to my apartment to fetch 25c and then jingle to the shop again to the same cashier#im so failgirl but thats alright#sidenote im wearing a shirt i got volunteering at an event last year and i feel like such a human person#like Yesss i have shirts in my wardrobe that i got for free at an event. fundamental human experience#it should be noted that when i say i got it volunteering it wasnt thru charity or something noble like that#its from when i was staffing an anime con#and as long as things go as they should i will be getting a second shirt of the same variety next year ^_^ yayy more seasonal shirt#like is it BRIGHT bright yellow with the word 'STAFF' emblazoned on the back? yeah. doesnt mean im not wearing it out in public#it makes me look important < devil headphones guy

been making concepts for magical girl adukin au.. i am forming a semi-consistent plot & having fun.. i might draw some other characters in magical girl outfits even if ive sort of laid out what the "canon" magical girls are for the au, but idk who i would draw.. maybe fusakin and syumitaro because well. ones a balloon with a human body and the other is God
#ekurambles#i really like this au if i am being honest even if it is just for funsies.. been working on it inbetween doodles and requests#i have a lot of things jotted down on how adukin even like.. became a magical girl in the first place#& i definitely think it could tie into her feelings in the maingame after the events of mo3#with her feeling like she wasnt as good of a person as jack is but instead of getting manipulated by mdcr#she sacrifices her own selfworth to act more like a hero and force herself to be someone she isnt (“magical girl adu”)#rather than accept who she is and not try to live as a cheap copy of someone who already loves & cares abt her *for* who she is.#taking on a much more dangerous nightlife as a magical girl just to feel like she can amount to any of what jack has done#& that'd probably also lead into jack and his magical boy form where he just wants to help protect her even though adukin hates that idea#she knows she can protect herself and she knows jack isnt trying to say that shes weak (he thinks shes really fucking strong)#but she cant accept his help without accepting herself first otherwise shes just going to keep comparing herself to someone-#-who already thinks shes perfect as the foulmouthed yet kind numa that she is#+ the whole thing with bachikin being the villain shes trying to defeat even if she doesnt know that#because like. she loves bachikin. it is an adubachi-based au afterall#bachikin is only doing these things to create what she thinks is a perfect world#where it's just her and adukin and nobody can judge them or keep them apart#shes been an awful person in the past and she doesnt know how to handle these emotions shes feeling#so she thinks that she has to deal with it the same way that she's dealt with all of her problems in the past#taking what she wants (adukin) and not letting anyone else near her#and bachikin is completely unaware that adukin is the one trying to stop her from doing this#probably in part because she doesnt want to believe that adukin wouldnt also want to live in that idealized world shes created for them-#-in her mind.#...Ok i gotta shut the fuck up this is way too long.

#i have a couch to crash on in nyc but i need money to get BACK THERE#i have 45 days to get a job. because a certain relative i have will magically produce the money for me to move back if i have a job offer#even though i still wont be able to afford an apartment or anything yet#fuck i am realizing how really fucking fucked i am#the same relative that put me in this position is the one who's helping me on terms he has not specified :) haha im not scared at all#like okay with my gfm that proved to me that i dont need him right but i cant do two gfms like oh wow teddy needs help again cant get a job#yet huh loser. and i just cant bring myself to Actually Borrow money from people even though we both know ill pay it back#the childhood trauma of having grown up homeless is hitting HARD rn#doesnt help that my meds are Very Messed Up at the minute#my heart problems and crazy pills arent getting along well#so i need uhhh to take care of that! fuck id like. to. well the work relies upon your continuance. unfortunately#dont particularly feel like it does at the moment [frantically thumbs thru my mental book of things to say when i wanna die] eh kinda wanna#see how the story ends though the chapter started kinda weird but maybe it gets better. maybe it's a turning point or smthn#lessons of the hand and the mouth

Looking at Sunny Starscout screenshots on Pinterest and crying because she's literally so perfect 🥺💗 The cutest little horse to have ever horsed, one might even call her a little pony... (altough you'll find she's actually of average height). But yeah Sunny is like actually my favorite pony period. I will stand by this I love G4 as much as the next guy but Sunny is so precious to me! I wish they'd use her character more like come on I want to see her more in mym 😭 (I love her quite a lot in tyt though) But yeah she's so great she's really interesting to me and cute and funny and I would love to be friends with her 💕💕💕
#little appreciation rant#I feel like she deserves it#shes adorable come on#I cant even explain it well I think of her making a bad joke and laughing about it and I just want to cry its so endearing#just so many things about her are so interesting#shes excited and bubbly and confident but also you can sense how shes been effected by her lonely youth and losing her dad#i say all in all she handled it really great#but stuff like her ignoring zipps concerns. not wanting to be an alicorn. being uncomfortable with being apart from her friends#stuff like that#can clearly be traced back to insecurities that she probably doesnt even realize#but also small things like her being a bit of a history nerd and being very idealistic but at the same time shes a bit oblivious and naive#I know that sounds like pointing out flaws but I think its so fun!! I love those things about her!!#and I doubt most of it was even intentional which I guess wouldve been nice if they fleshed this stuff out more#but it doesnt change the fact that I live her so so much#mlp g5#sunny starscout#mlp

fuck akuroku as a ship btw not only because its pedophilic because thats obviously a huge issue. but also i think we should be able to have platonic relationships with the same amount of devotion as any romance. not everyone who loves each other is in love DEREK.
#not trying to downplay the issues with it being pedophilic because thats actually a huge issue#context for my non kh moots#as of kh3 lea/axel is roughly late 20s#maybe early 30s depending on how old he was in bbs#and roxas is (physically) 14-16 (hes only been alive for a bit over a year#but also what i want to say#axel and roxas have an amazingly written relationship#theyre two of the strongest characters in the series in terms of writing honestly#their dynamic in canon is two best friends who at the end of the day just want to stay together#but due to circumstances and also a bit of axel keeping secrets shit falls apart#when you get to kh2 roxas is gone and axel will do literally ANYTHINNG to bring him back#he doesnt care about his own life or soras or anyone else who stands in his way because he is going to get his friend back#axels role as an antagonist later in kh2 comes from his devotion#he wants roxas back. he says himself he wanted to see roxas again because he made him feel as though he had a heart#in the end he gives up and dies to protect sora#and i think a lot of people take 'he made me feel like i had a heart' out of context to say its romantic#at face value its easy to interpret it that way but in context he goes on to say 'its funny... you make me feel the same' to sora#the way i interpreted it at least wasnt that he was in love but that both roxas and sora's love for others radiated onto him#if we look at days (i know. sacrelige for a kh2 discussion. fuck you) axel is constantly questioning why roxas acts like he has a heart#he straight up asks him why he does that and roxas is confused. thats just how he is#<- context for that conversation is that roxas is upset on xions behalf because saïx called her a mistake#what he means by 'having a heart' is feeling things and caring about things and there is no inherent romantic connotation#he means in the most literal sense that roxas made him care about things. we dont know what exactly that was referencing in kh2#but we can take a pretty good fucking guess#but lets look at com for a second because theres a scene talking about the other half of that line#axel goes behind everyones back to do something to help sora and naminé and after he does he is SHOCKED to realize hes enjoying it#and then he says 'you really ARE something!' about sora#at least as of kh2 what they meant was feeling emotions. roxas made axel feel as though he had emotions. he made him feel like he could feel#anyways. what im saying is axels line could be taken as something romantic but i think its more interesting than that#i dont have enough tags left to continue word vomiting sorry </3
