had an identity crisis, prime time for a slight sona redesign!
it's cow! (again!)
+ a closeup because i'm really proud of the eyes
#i felt really extremely disconnected from cow and was like welp. time to make new fursonas#and made like four drafts before drawing cow with short hair and going 'oh.'#i ...... just need a hair cut. so i gave my fursona a haircut while i'm waiting to go#fucking. SADGE that im redesigning it so soon after its last ref but#shrugs#i do not control the heightened emotions about fursona and what it means to me#also there's a lot of experiments in this piece!! new brushes new coloring techniques new style of ref#loooots and lots of alts over on my ponytreon#my art#furry#fursona#anthro#oc#cow#cattle#oc: cow#bovine#ref#ref sheet#reference#i tried like...7 other palettes before just taking the old one and tweaking it and now i rllllllllly like it :03#i just needed less pastels/contrast and more soft/desaturated tones...who woulda thunk#(it's everyone. everyone wouldve thunk. i <3 desaturated tan tones)

Dungeon Meshi's Theses
if you want to to badass things like explore dungeons, you need to take care of your body.
if you want to be good at your job, fulfill your hobby, spend time with friends, travel, go on hikes, live a long and happy life, etc., you need to take care of your body.
why should you want to live a long life if you have nothing to live for? the nature of living things is to change. so long as you are alive, you and the people and things around you will change. you may think that you have no reason to live, but so long as you are alive you will experience new things you never could have imagined which will give you new reasons to live.
#shade speaks#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi analysis#these are the big three takeaways to me#i finished the manga maybe a week ago now and i've been thinking about how to bring together everything it seems to be about#and how to merge mithrun's storyline with the rest of it all#because i've recently seen some supremely bad takes on this (ifykyk). and some peoples defense has been#well yeah theres no point to the obsession with food but i think laios is really fun.#or some other varient thereof#which is equally bad media criticism.#tbf i think most people defending dm in this way are anime only fans. no shade but like i said about you know who#its hard to ascertain major themes when you havent seen them fully play out and explored.#i'm not tagging this as spoilers because i think its vague enough to be safe but also because i think knowing to look out for these things#will heighten your viewing experience

here's a hot take for today
the narrative function of sex is the same as the narrative function of fight scenes is the same as the narrative function of songs in a musical
no i will not explain
#taz talks#writing#actually i WILL explain but i'll do it in the tags#these each serve the same function within their respective appropriate genres#each one is a kind of revelation#they heighten the connection between 2+ characters and highlight relationships and feelings and needs#they are out of place in genres where they do not belong and/or as curveballs when the narrative did not provoke them from the start#but they have the same sort of emotional/dramatic build-up#talk -> sing -> dance (talk -> yell -> stab) ((talk -> flirt -> You Know))#and they are all expressions of intense physicality and intimacy through physical gesture and interaction#they are fundamentally empty and boring if there is not a deeper purpose or drive behind them#although they can still occasionally be entertaining on their own if your audience is specifically seeking that experience out#people who do not like them will be very unhappy to encounter one where it isn't supposed to be#it is very easy to ruin the mood with poor word choice#many people have an inherent sense for terrible ones but it's often difficult or complicated to explain precisely why a bad one fails#when executed properly they are a very raw and intimate expression of a character's most fundamental needs and desires#the fluff is stripped away and there is nothing left but a series of needs. conflicting or cooperating.#and even when you're lying during one it's still a form of truth#none of these things are remotely necessary to tell a powerful or compelling story but if you're going to use them you need to do it right#also all 3 of these things are difficult if not impossible to write if you are not both interested in them and personally invested#this post brought to you by me trying to write smut about my dnd characters and failing because i generally hate /reading/ smut#so i have none of the vocabulary or instinct for it that i do for. say. graphic violence (or lyrical poetry)

MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. and aj so confused just moves like ???#and ekky notches one in goes over to him and waves his glove at him to move#also dmen + lundy were practising on my side of the ice afterwards (lundy ekky uvis kuli. kuli was practising solo. lundy was feeding ekky#for some slapshots uvis got some passes in with them) and anyways i did not fucking realise swaggy was still out because i was so focused on#the dmen until he shot a puck straight at my face and like man i know its not personal but damn did it feel personal with the lookback

btw i love that in Nandermo aus, where Nandor is a normal, good, human boyfriend - he's basically just Kayvan 🧡
#wwdits#nandermo#kayvan novak#nandor#i ordered one big goofy puppy dog man and i am not disappointed#but there's something amusing abt how nandor translated as an average human#is incapable of inhabiting nandor's other traits because they only work in the heightened comedy world of wwdits#otherwise it /really/ is horror#it rly gets you thinking abt how complex nandor is and the breadth of range you can experience him#he goes from love sick puppy to cruel prideful selfish prince to the aggressive bloodlust of a true monster#i love his fucked up lil brain#anyways#im being distracted from expressing my love for human au nandor who is basically kayvan as brandon fraizer from george of the jungle!#ie the perfect himbo#omg kayvan would have made a fucking amazing george of the jungle i cant unthink this

I want a girl to take out my brain and put it an a jar to keep on a shelf, making me watch as she teases and explores my body down below 😵💫 I’m only given visual and auditory input but as she fucks and tortures the body I know she’s recording every experience
eventually she approaches my shelf and takes the brain, hooking it up with wires and shocks to flood me with every sensation the body felt at once and trapping me in that high until next time she decides to take her toy out and give me a new taste of her love
#mmmm when physical damage can’t kill u but the pain will convince u anyways#artificially heightening or dampening senses for customized reactions#I like to imagine her tasting the experience a little bit like poppers#wags vulnerably

so I'm writing this little missing scene fic, and something occurred to me that I've noticed at least once before: Stede says to Izzy that he knows that Izzy kept Ed's body, and there's nothing else in the text that explains how he knows that, nor do we see that.
And honestly: how would that even have worked? There's literally no way that Izzy could have done a damn thing with Ed's body (at some point between shooting Ed and when the Red Flag finds the Revenge, Izzy gets the janky prosthetic but I cannot imagine him going up and down those stairs with a body even with help) so at best he persuaded the others not to dispose of Ed's body.
If I'm remembering correctly, the conversation happens in the context of Stede attempting to persuade Izzy to persuade the rest of the crew to let Ed stay at the beginning of episode 4. Which establishes sort of an interesting pattern in 4 and 5 of Stede buttering up Izzy for ..... reasons? Idk, I don't have a conclusion yet, I'm just kind of rolling it around in my brain while I try to imagine what did actually happen after they beat Ed to a pulp.
#a remarkably good-looking pulp lol#also I've seen people say that Izzy shot the torch but istg the last time I watched I thought there was a spray of blood from Ed's elbow#this is turning out to be exactly the sort of deeply uneasy bit of writing I thought it might be#I'm experimenting with what Ursula Le Guin called 'detached author' third person POV#which I think heightens the effect#ofmd#ofmd s2

i never watch tv recently other than the occasional dwd/dt episode especially since community isnt on netflix but i turned on house md episode 1 yesterday in an influenza delirium and i am on episode 9 now
oh my goddd, like i can’t believe how much i enjoy house rn… i usually don’t pick up new shows that easy but i watched a ton of clips on youtube reels and i had to see what was going on. episode 9 was INSANE. & SO GOOD. HELP HIM DR HOUSE. but you’re already so far in omg. watching it while sick is crazy because all the drama (and of course the medical stuff) makes me feel so sick. ugh dr house is such a good doctor. he’s mean but we love him. i just teared up so bad watching episode 18 an hour ago.. each episode is a serious rollercoaster pls keep me updated on your journey
#i also hope you’re doing okay with the flu and everything!#but it might actually be the best way to watch it tbh#heighten the experience

with tlr2 issue 3 dropping in a couple days, im curious what everyone thinks moja and uno's abilities will be
#im assuming moja will get her powers next and then uno will get his in issue 4...#to me i think moja might have super heightened senses? in issue 1 she commented on something 'smelling' wrong?#uno even called them heightened senses but i feel like it may go beyond that#im thinking girl has insane super vision and a nose like a cadaver dog and hypersensitive hearing#which she may or may not have already begun to experience during the lost day special when she wore her headphones while watching fireworks#ofc she could have still been listening to her music or she could have hearing sensitivity for other reasons#i just feel like they might be leading up to that? i need to go back and scrape the earlier issues for foreshadowing of odyn and yi's power#im really not sure what unos could be unless they are going to lean super hard into the dark mode camoflague he already has going on#maybe he can turn completely invisible? ultimate stealth ninja moment#idk but its interesting to think about. aaaaa can't wait for more of the babies i miss themmmmm#ofc if they continue the trend of physical powers moja with fire powers would be super cool too#i can picture her with flaming fists perfectly actually so i wont be disappointed either way#the last ronin#the last ronin 2#the last ronin 2 re-evolution

the only way to watch tv shows the way they were meant to be watched is through DVDs isn't it? I keep hearing of tv shows that netflix has made major editing/aspect ratio/music changes, once again cementing netflix as my archnemesis. yes I'm pedantic, it's my only talent
#I remember trying to watch tos on netflix once and#well first of all they had the og unaired pilot listed as the first episode which#kirk isn't even in that episode imagine how confusing that is for general audiences#it just heightens the barrier of entry because you would watch the first episode and then the second is kind of a completely different cast?#and then they also changed the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9#which is just? inconvievable to me???#you basically end up with a bunch of shit cropped out#and I've heard of other shows where netflix didn't bother getting the rights to the music#so they just replaced the songs??#as if the songs are just interchangeable and the creators don't put crazy amounts of thought into the song choices??#and watching the (initial release) dvds is probably the only way you can guarantee you are getting the viewing experience as intended#(besides watching as they air obviously)#because streaming makes it so easy for shows to be altered without the viewer having any idea#and i guess that just doesn't sit right with me#so anyways i guess if you are able to then buy dvds of your favorite shows and movies because there's no guarantee they'll be there#and if they are there's no guarantee they'll be the version the creators intended for you to watch
