Your beats make me sick
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#a-yuan#wen qing#wen ning#This scene raised several implications that range from retroactively hilarious -#-to confrontationally horrifying.#First with the hilarious bit; Hey! We've seen this scene before!#In fact - this particular duet is so similar to the duet LWJ and WWX perform to calm the mystery arm in Cloud Recess-#-That I am honestly flabbergasted WWX *didn't* realize LWJ would catch on his real identity.#Sure there are a lot of ways you could justify it. But also...even if he didn't play Wangxian.mp3...he would have been found out eventually#"I have to get away from LWJ by annoying him via flirting!' uhhh like you pretty much did throughout most of your late teens?#I think there is something a bit charming about WWX if he's truly that bad of an actor. Go on king. Live your authentic truth.#For the horrifying implications...I didn't depict it here but it's not *just* Wen Ning who breaks out and goes into a frenzy.#It is also the other corpses that are around the burial grounds.#You know; the ones that even he admits he has no idea how many there are!#It puts a lot more weight on 'how much longer do you really think you can do this?'#The village in the burial grounds was *always* under a time limit. It was a matter of when and how it would be destroyed.#And I do believe that firmly. As depressing and pessimistic as it is; The Wen Remnants were never meant to survive.

Hey, saw that you're having a bit of rough day. :(
I'm almost finished the next part.
But, would you like Prowl to bully "the wet bread moron" Josh? (as a treat. there's a part I could slide it in) Like a little petty revenge like get back at people being jerks to orcas?
-GLC
Oh I would absolutely love that yes🥺👉👈
#Prowl deserves that#especially since they all keep expecting him to behave like a crazy scared horse/j#I was spending a lot of time watching videos and reading articles about wild and captive orcas#sorry it's a bit unrelated just don't mind the tags kflgmdbd#yeah so. I remember going to aquarium a bunch of years ago and seeing those performances#I was absolutely AMAZED by orcas because as a kid I was kinda obsessed with them haha#watched a lot of documentaries. all about wild orcas#so shortly after I went to the aquarium I tried to look for their stuff on the internet. some recordings and photos and names of the animals#there were A LOT of people SCREAMING around that content. Telling everyone that those animals are abused and suffering#-and shouldn't be held captive. Calling the aquarium “the orca prison” and stuff#I remember how annoyed I was seeing them. Because the staff cheerfully told me that “see they live happy they have a lot of food and-#-and nothing to worry about. What else can they want?“#I was so pissed at those “crazy hysterical eco activists” because they were actively ruining such a fun place#Now when I know better I wish I could meet those people and thank them#they got what they were fighting for. well. mostly they did#Hunting orcas is illegal now thanks to them#and breeding stopped too#they refused to let their last surviving Orca free (she was caught. not born in captivity) but they stated they won't try to get more orcas#Every time I see something about wild orcas it's so amazing and every time I see what humans do to them it gets more horrible#With all that said. If someone is still reading this haha. I now have another idea for a character who's gonna suffer immensely#because I went to see what exactly those activists vere fighting against and now I have some fresh fucking ideas

"Why am I still doing this?"
"Don't you get it?"
"This is all just a show... and we're playing parts~"
#junie art post#utmv#ink sans#swap sans#dream sans#yea that lyric is from the undertale musical... it was fitting#anyways#you know how back then star sanses were 'fight evil (bad sanses) do good!!' i mean... it still is. but back then it was more...innocent?#*looks at the steven universe star sanses cover i saved on my phone*#ultimately tho...how much do u think ink plays along with that as nothing more than a script given to him#because really. ink is more of a stagehand than a stage performer#and for ink that job comes with knowledge that makes it hard to perform#like you guys ever think more about how ink struggles to view the people around him as “real” (like him) and not characters?#i think about it a lot.#especially. in his 'star sanses' era#to me theres always this nonchalance(?) he treats other sanses 'backstory' and maybe the character themself if he interacts with them#because he cant really treat them as 'real' people#you get what i mean???#THAT DOESNT MEAN HE STAYS LIKE THIS FOREVER. HE CAN GET DEVELOPMENT. LOOK AT ZEPHYRTOP RP. PRIME EXAMPLE.#you see i imagine star sanses as like this cute tv show like madoka magica. starts off cute. ends with you in a crisis#dream is easily the protag in my eyes. comes out with no clue how long its been and explores with fresh eyes. meets swap. meets ink#then they fight evil! cool multiverse exploration! undertale shenanigans!!!!#dream and swap go thru their character arcs#and ink stays suspiciously stagnant#until we get THIS reveal and theres that implication that hes been also behind the scenes nudging things along to 'improve the story'#'anything for the entertainment of the Creators!'#ISNT THAT MESSED UP?? ISNT THAT G R E A T#utmv fanart#ink!tale#underswap

first dance // dillon devampiro & elle nox
i do plan to eventually rebuild the trailer version of straud manor in blender so I have a set for historical nonsense, but that day is not today! just cutouts for now.


My hc is that these two got together shortly after Vlad hired Elle as the Straud coven's resident violinist, way back in Jane Austen times. Dillon made an offhand comment to Vlad about what a shame it was that he never got to dance with such a pretty lady, since she was always busy performing at social events.
Vlad, wanting to be a good bro, decided to give Elle a night off so Dillon could take her dancing. Not a horrible plan, except that he raised the subject by telling Elle that she shouldn't bother showing up for work that night because Mr. DeVampiro didn't feel like listening to her play. Vlad was exceedingly surprised that, instead of responding with gratitude for the break, Elle was furious, and immediately stormed off to give Dillon a piece of her mind.
He tried, bless him.
cc
elle's hair and ornament by @the-melancholy-maiden
elle's gloves by @dancemachinetrait
elle's necklace by @sentate
elle's dress by @happylifesims (personal recolor, currently working on recoloring some of these awesome bridgerton dresses to match the color palette from vampires, will post eventually)
dillon's outfit and shoes by happylifesims
poses 1-4, 6, 7 from dramatic dance by @samssims
pose 5 from let's waltz by @pandorassims4cc
pose 8 from love confessions by @starrysimsie
some poses have been slightly adjusted in blender to make Elle shorter
#thankfully for dillon he was charming enough to talk her down and convince her to let him take her dancing#regency dances were pretty diverse - everything from line dancing to slutty waltzing#dillon was a much better dancer than elle - way more experience and very familiar with slutty waltzing#as a professional violinist Elle spent her teen/early adult years performing at social events instead of slutty waltzing#seriously the way people clutched their pearls about waltzing was absolutely hilarious#sounded exactly like modern people losing their minds about twerking#elle devampiro#dillon devampiro#vlad straud#devampiro family#deadit#deadcanon#century scribbles

mfs do anything but finish their wips . like startign another, for example
#trigun sky au. because i can.#light-guide (mainly) vash . usually assumed to be either isle or valley born. witnessed the fall#realm-guide wolfwood . isle born. very fond of moths/sparrows#vault scribes(?) meryl and milly . both vault born but people sometimes assume milly to be of prairie. they document spirit tradition-#slash seasons slash events idk anyting to do w preservation im thinking#knives and vash are light twins...#eden-guide knives... people assume hes vault born or somethinf. also witnessed the fall and is not very fond of spirits#hes a huge fucking fan of both creatures of light and darkness though#slander a dark dragon near him he will jump you . slash jay. . slash not j#angry at the whole industrialization thing that turned forest to what it is#see the fun thing about taking a game that doesnt have very very deep lore sans concept art (WHIHCH IM STILL SO FUCKING SAD ABT. ITS SO???)#is that you can just throw whatever at it to your liking#FOR EXAMPLE. SHARD RAINS? THAT WAS PART OF MY SKY UNIVERSE WAY BEFORE SHATTERING . THAT WAS WHAT CAUSSED THE FALL PARTIALLY SHFJHFHG#anyways s more or less implied that there was some form of mineral extraction in forest#and the rain there has literally no reason to drain your light . waters fine and everythnig. so something happened#and the trees looking so dead etc presence of crabs and gloomy skies in contrast to the brighter ones of previous areas#vash and knives occasionally do eden guiding together#iuhhhhhdk . i think wolfwood would but specifically for skykids who are going through their first run#milly and meryl at the season of remembrance..#meryl fond of valley races in secret milly big fan of tournaments they both ice skate at the dreams village and visit performance theater#because i SAY SO#brad luida home. vault born mostly vault dwellers see season of remembrance. uh idk big on trying to understand and improve technology#and contraptions left behind by spirits#“wow mr vash mr knives . you both sure do know the ins and outs of the realms!” and they both give eachother looks like WE WERE THERE WHEN#THE KINGDOM IN THE SKY FELL#rems a spirit beeteedubs .#twins thought they were the first skykids. stage whisper tesla#mhhhhhh vash loses his arm to a shard....#think. the plant trio all have like... a higher concentration of light than even creatures of light themselves#gate equivalent ig?

me, dean, and everyone else watching: ok sure, sammy
#vics spn rewatch#spn 1x10#the apology is made worse by j*red's inability to actually sound sincere#he's doing his fake sympathy voice and it is so. grating#adds a fascinating unintentional layer to sam as we've talked abt before#and it's like not necessarily a Bad thing to perform rather than feel sympathy#but like. this is very much a non-apology and dean knows it and we all know it#sam DID mean those things on some level. maybe not as harshly as he said them bc his anger WAS being heightened by the ghost#but those feelings were real#and sam is allowed to feel them. but they are in many ways. a projection and also unfounded#sam literally could leave at any time and dean would let him go (as we'll see in thee very next episode!!)#just bc he feels those feelings doesn't mean they're inherently true#dean isn't keeping him trapped. dean isn't just blindly following orders. dean Does have a mind of his own#and in fact dean isn't being all that great of a dutiful son bc he actively is not all that interested in finding john!! not the way sam is#and you'd think for dean being the one to initially show up and ask sam's help that he'd be more invested in finding john#and making sure he's actually alive instead of following random coordinates to a case. and taking on every other case they find too#anyways. sam's feelings of anger are real bc he feels them and it's okay to feel things#but he's massively misinterpreting and projecting things onto dean#and then he feels guilty (like post-possession) and tries to swipe it all under the rug and claim he didn't mean any of it#but he Does. and dean knows it. everyone knows it.#his perceptions do not align w/ what's really happening. bc he doesn't have the full context.#bc he doesn't know just how complicated dean's relationship to john really is. bc he was sheltered from a lot of that.#he sees dean desperate for approval and a good little soldier#when in reality dean was playing peacekeeper and mediator and punching bag most of their childhood.#and rn dean doesn't really care that much abt finding john. he just wants to hang out with his brother#not samcr*t btw. we love all this abt him it's spicy it's crunchy it's tasty

what’s your take on franky/alex? where did this ship even come from?
franky and alex DOES have an origin point it is dr @baking-soda and @yekoc they experience many rpf prophetic visions that end up being pure characterization genius tbh... and i am hardly the person to come to for the franky/alex manifesto BUT. i think this is one of those rpf ships that is less about what how they have interacted irl in the literal sense (they were teammates in the lower classes though, which has a fun childhood sweethearts angle), and more about how their personalities and place within the broader "story" of motogp intersect, yknow? although i will say (and this is SO crucial for the irl drama of it all) that when franky had his bad accident during preseason at portimao last year and got LITERAL AMNESIA FROM HIS HEAD INJURY, it was the marquez brothers who got to him first, signaled for the medical staff, and put him in the recovery postion. and it just doenst get more high drama romance than that like literally. LITERALLYYYY
SO primarily i see it used as a vehicle to interrogate alex as the little brother of the most main-character-syndrome man alive who is mostly okay with that because marc is his best friend, but ALSO yearns for his own identity and independence while recognizing that marc is like. not interested in independence really at all. and feeling a little weird about that. and then he DOES carve out something for himself with franky and has to reckon with the sort of. extreme guilt and overwhelming wonder/excitement that comes with that while lowkey feeling like rotten scum because SO much of his life has been about marc in some way and this one thing is entirely free of him and he doesnt even feel like he can TELL marc this because franky is the original vr46 academy guy.... which is a fun way to dig into alex's whole deal for me like its about alex embracing being his own person (which he has done in little spurts irl, post marc injury and moving out recently come to mind. it is also crucial to me that i dont even think he really RESENTS marc) with his own wants and desires and life which is FUN ! like thats just a neat little character arc that giving him a bf fulfills, and then its also a way to explore franky as probably one of THE most like. well rounded and measured and friendliest (and TRAUMATIZED...) individuals off the motogp track (on track. much like alex. less so.) who is as such perhaps the perfect angsty romcom boyfriend for this specific scenario.... especially because the pics from when they were teammates are very cute !
#for me to get INSANE about something i need to be able to do a serial killer level deep dive on quotes from ten yrs ago#like i need a BACKLOG. so its not that for me but i do enjoy franky/alex it has to be said. its fun !#motogp#callie speaks#asks#they also interest me specifically as like. okay so alex is a little bit isolationist bc of his brother#and DEFINITELY has a lot of grudges on the grid due to uh. riding style. and so does franky. and they were TEAMMATES...#and i think there is some fun unexplored tension that could be leveraged for fanfic reasons there...#like i could see a more enemies to lovers bent from alex's side when they get to the higher classes and start clashing....#not the best vehicle to get into too much of franky's specific issues though... for that im writing 15k about him and vale fixing bikes#at the ranch alone on their off weekends over the course of the year 2024. guilt and fathers and ghosts and injury and performance#and a refusal to discuss it... and it ends w the vr46 contract maybe... that kind of vibe.

i just think that lxl is incredibly funny, that’s all
#i’m never not amused whenever i see articles emphasising on aizo’s desire to sing while gushing about his (alleged) performing abilities#and yujiro’s desire to perform on a stage while raving about his great singing#ig this is another reason why they *need* each other. they’re essential to each other so true#is this why their love song is called hitsuyou fukaketsu—#imagine if they were actually able to achieve their dreams lol.#aizo would be a pro solo idol and yujiro would probably be performing kabuki with the longleg and shortleg…#come to think of it. in a sense aizo seems to be more of a typical flashy idol than yujiro is…#maybe that’s why he attracts all the ladies (sad aizo noises)#tfw you can get girls but *not* the man you love gg aizo kiss him harder next time you apply your kissmarks#染BODY ONCE TOLD ME—

#I love how akane banashi discusses grief. I am pairing it with one of my fave songs about grief#akane banashi#issho arakawa#akane osaki#seb draws#it's so cool how everyone is grieving!!! each indiv chara in this vid is grieving for diff reasons diff ways and they all overlap <3#u know what i'm not done. i WILL go into this#kiroku is making space for grief by taking on the lost shiguma name. It’s he has lost miroku which is like losing a father. but he moves on#kiroku is the father figure for kisoba and rokuen that miroku couldn't be for kiroku. he literally carries kashiwaya (shiguma's art) w/him!#at the same time! kiroku DIES so soon after establishing the arakawa school and he tells kisoba 'you killed me'#this moment is the hammer in the coffin of issho's grief. he already blames himself bc it was HIS performance that resulted in#kiroku getting kicked out. a small death. and now he's told 'you killed me.' insane. Unless it was just a dream idk unclear#but again looking at how kiroku is characterized i don't think he meant to blame issho. it's very likely issho misinterpreted#just like when he misinterpreted what kiroku was trying to say when he started the arakawa school#and that brings us to the CURRENT SHIGUMA#who not only misses his mentor! but also his relationship with kisoba/issho!!!!! HE STILL CALLS HIM ANIKI IM SO SICK#I constantly think about the panel where he looks at issho with trepidation as issho says he will repent for the rest of his life.#that is when the disconnect started!!!! and it only became more extreme when he was taught shiguma's art but couldn't MASTER it!!!!#imagine how Issho felt abt shiguma wasting the opportunity he never got. and becomes even worse after shinta tries to carry shiguma's art#issho is like damn shiguma was too weak and now he brings me another weakling wtf is this!! he's out! expulsion! and ofc shiguma is mad.#but ofc WE all know what issho is TRULY mad abt is really just kiroku! and his own guilt his own grief wtfff#MY GOD.#WHICH BRINGS US TO AKANE#HER PARALLELS WITH ISSHO DRIVE ME CRAZYYYY#trying to avenge the loss of her father's rakugo!!!!!#AKane almost losing herself in her desire to copy her dad#AND!!! AUUGHGHGHGH i know folks were like HUH???? when akane was reflecting on how she could have gone on a dark path w/out shiguma#Bc didn’t she already love rakugo??? But see if we only focus on Loving the Art we become Issho.#think akane first zenza training arc and kibataraki. she loves the art but can't connect to the audience. now add crippling guilt.#Shinta Arakawa is dead and Akane accepted this. but she is still so angry. issho and akane are foils u see.

Thinking once again about the very weird emotional reaction I had (am still having) re: Timothee Chalamet's performance in Dune Part 2. Because I came out of that theatre legit a little scared of that guy, which is not something I ever thought I'd be able to say -- he's very much not an intimidating person in most people's minds and if you'd told me what Part 2 was like before I knew anything about Dune I wouldn't have been able to believe it. But he's so good, and I think part of the reason he works so well in this new phase of Paul's character especially is because of that audience perception of him as an actor, because you go into it thinking "this shouldn't work" and then it does work, and that weird dissonance makes it work even more in a meta way. Paul as a character also isn't supposed to seem like he could be this crazy warrior cult leader, and then he is and people within the narrative believe it and it feels within the narrative like it isn't supposed to work, yet somehow does. The fact that it Feels Wrong is perfect because it's supposed to.
#dune#dune part 2#timothée chalamet#paul atreides#no i will not hear anyone try to tell me he was miscast#and it's so weird bc paul in part 1 is kind of closer to the type of role audiences were used to seeing him in#so it felt more fitting#and then you get to part 2 and it's like. hm there's no way he'll be able to Do That. oh he's actually Doing It and doing it really well#in a terrifying way#and the fact that he CAN sell all that is ??? so unexpected which makes it work even more within the story#ghnnnnn I can't articulate this well but y'all know what i mean#also: i wish he got more recognition for how damn good he was in part 2???#tbh i feel like he was overshadowed by austin butler which i GET he was great and his role was super impactful esp. for its size#but it's a shame he had to come in right when timmy was giving the performance of his life lol
