thought itd be fun to put edelgard in (vaguely) historical outfits from 1180s-ish, byzantine-ish and the holy roman emperors' coronation regalia lol

Made this keychain while i was sad for Logan after the race. I'm so happy with the result and also i think doodles and references come out good ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ

I put more pics under cut if you want to see!!!

There some photos without any drawings plus just doodles bc it's easy to miss something with how much I going on there 😭

Also i finally have plase to rumble about every little detail (tags)

i feel like the north, with all its snowy and honorable knighthood and swordfighting themes did well in having characters like ozeca and zoey as a nod to the contrary (as well as the occasional camo print uniform suit) but IMO, it’s a cop out to simultaneously dilute zoey with 3000 other applesque and knight themes (current diamond arena) and give ozeca -0.8 seconds of screen time but i’m really not here to complain.

i just think that this wouldn’t be an issue if there was inspiration from the right places, because if you want to write a badass military lady you’re at a loss if you allude to everything else but ignore the soul of the contemporary military type, of which i believe to be the usaamerican WTF IS A KILOMETER tactical crayon eater and patriot gun slinger. i’m just saying if the north wants to acknowledge the existence of a modern military lets👏go👏all👏the👏way👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Some pics from my recently finished Homelander cosplay! 🍼🦅 I'll get better/more pics in the future but for now i surprisingly don't completely hate these and it'll do. Was a really fun (and decently easy, though more complicated than it may seem) costume to make, and i'm really happy with it!

Probably will make a male version too in the future (may have actually partially started already; making a muscle suit seems like a lot of fun), I have lots of materials left except for the blue fabric. Up next first is probably - and finally, Loki? But I will definately wear this one much more often.

VERY minor animal pet peeve about WC is that so many cats walk away just fine if dropped by a large raptor. Even when you're wearing a thick leather glove you can feel how strong those birds are when they're just hanging out on your arm

It makes perfect sense for storytelling that a baby dropped by an eagle survives but like... Marshkit would have been crushed. Snowkit would probably have been dead before he got to the nest. Rainpaw would have internal bleeding. Idk like, they should at least get a bandaid lmao

Sometimes I just like to think about that specific Yuu&Tsubasa age swap + role swap AU that I have, aka where everything is the same but Yuu is a young adult working as WBBA’s best soldier and Tsubasa is this angsty lil’ kid who apparently has a problem with anyone who cheated/has way too much power for so little work it views as cheating in his eyes. Also Yuu has all this stress and fear because he’s been view as a “gifted kid” and “genius blader” that rooted deep in this heart

Also they are taking care of a flightless eagle who’s perfectly content with eating jerky and lounging on couch

TOP TEN WORST TYPES OF TF2 MISCHARACTERISATION: (in my opinion)

Woobified Scout (we've all been subject to it at some point)

"Feral" (rapist) Sniper (scary)

Not smart Heavy (man has a phd, smh)

Seme/Uke ass Heavymedic dynamic (and also woobified Medic)

Those "it was a girl all along" type Pyro fics (they fill me with such raw feral rage its insane)

Asshole dad Spy (can be fun in small doses but gets taken way too far 80% of the time)

Racist/Homophobic Soldier (HE WOULDN'T. Unless told to predjudice the enemy BUT THATS IT)

To the same extent, needlessly assholish Soldier (only exists to add another billion Scout Angst fics to the pile)

When Engie is "the normal one" (he's a maniac with a god complex, get it right)

Demo being ignored, or just having his alcoholism be the only thing about him

An honourable mention is making Ms Pauling straight /j

Totally off topic, but I share my home with one very beautiful but also very stupid cat and one very smart goblin who sometimes remembers how to meow.

Johnny's Training in S6

This isn't getting one of my full mini-essay treatments because it isn't that deep, but they absolutely dropped the ball in S6.1 with how they did Johnny's training montage with the kids.

Johnny's lessons are a pretty solid mix of 40% life lesson, 40% OSHA noncompliant activities, 20% Macho bullcrap. They're blunt, to the point, useful, overblown.

And Effective.

Like- there was the seed of a good idea with the pitching machine with the MiyagiDo balance platform, but they didn't show the training being effective, just everything Daniel hates in Johnny. Which isn't fair to Johnny.

Like where was the 'punch to the face' lesson in S1 or 'Cobra Kai will cheat, here is how you fight while incapacitated in some way' from S4. The good lessons where there's a clear point to it. S6.1 was just... noise so Daniel could be mad.

tbh if i was tied to a rock and had a bird eating my liver every day it wouldn’t even affect me. actually it might be a welcome break from the other bullshit lol. applying to jobs is worse than losing my liver every day

The thought of Amelia/Alfred declaring independence and then being immediately thrust into parenthood appeals to me. Imagine if you will shortly after the Revolution the emergence of State Personifications coming about with each admission to the Union (Delaware was the first one). Whether they appear miraculously or are birthed via (unwilling) parthenogenesis (which I prefer) the bottom line is that suddenly America has all these kids to take care of, all of who grow up just as fast as America did. Regardless of how they came to be or how fast they grow, America loves them with his/her whole being and creates a system in which they are always protected and accounted for by the larger government. America promises to be there for them the way England never was.

Then fast forward to the Civil War, and America is waging a bloody war against half of her/his children that see hundreds of thousands of their people dead. Brother against brother, father against son, cousin against cousin. And each secession feels like a small death because they are part of America just as much as America is a part of them, practically inseparable, or at least America thought so. To add even more complexity, not all of America's children were white or white-passing. America being neglected because s/he was to far away or denied certain rights for not being British enough was bad on its own, but imagine your parent not being able to claim you or fully protect you or give you basic human rights without public/social/political backlash because your skin is darker and you're legal property in half the country. Or imagine having powerful politicians who want to keep people who look like your children in bondage and you have to compromise with them to keep the Union whole, knowing the opinions they would have if they even knew you had children who were black (some of them do know and make sure their opinions are known). Or your other children starting a war to selfishly keep this system in place at the expense of their black siblings. The relationship between America and his/her children, with America acting as both the federal government that protects the states as well as the greater whole that represents the Union and the states as the children, each an extension of America, an integral part of America's being, pushing back against the sometimes overbearing hovering of their parent, impeding on states rights (whether they believe America is in the right or not) and protecting others and sometimes America will helplessly throw his/her hands in the air and say "fine, ill let YOU decide on this issue because I am not a dictator, despite what some of you like to think, but if you fuck up im stepping in" because America doesn't want to make the same mistakes England made in the past but then America has to deal with the negative consequences of her/his children's actions when they do something unbelievably stupid while trying not to seem like a fire-breathing tyrant. Which, they end up thinking anyway, regardless if America wasn't entirely in the wrong about butting in and taking hold of the situation before it escalated. The negative reaction only serves to make America step away AGAIN so as to not seem completely authoritarian in their eyes. It's a never-ending cycle. Not to mention the complex relationships the states have with each other, especially the southern states among themselves and the southern vs northern states rivalry.

Edit:

also whenever America takes his/her eyes off the states for 1mili second to see what the rest of the world is up to (hopefully not another world war) while usually being like 'back off, geeze! 🤬' America's children immediately switch to 'how come you're not paying attention to ME instead 🥺 you always focus on the world instead of ME 😢'

The only thing that stopped me from crying as I walked out of the stadium was dehydration.

Anyway, we’re better than that and we’re gonna win the league this season. Come on you fucking Gunners!!!
