people talk a lot about utena and anthy's weird gay beds but i think there's something to the room itself too. because it isn't really much of a room at all. the giant window and the doorway to the main room of the tower that's barely covered by a see-through curtain leaves no room for privacy or even the simple feeling of safety and security that comes from being able to close a door to your own space. it specifically stood out to me when i was watching episode 32 yesterday with that scene at the beginning of the episode where utena gets up and stretches and anthy's voice immediately cuts in from the kitchen, where (more importantly) akio also is. because there is no seperation at all really between the rooms in that house. which i think is possibly symbolic of nobody being allowed to set any boundaries there either. that bed is where some of utena and anthy's most vulnerable and intimate moments happen, but they don't have a space that's truly theirs. it's all akio's. the panopticon....

Room Part 3
I love Portal, probably top 3 games easily. And guess who had blank doors? Thats right, me. At least I hope you guessed me. Anyway,
This is one from when I was still painting it, you can tell by the tarp, paint, and unfinished right door.
This is the fully finished design.
Some close ups ^^^
Okay so the inspiration for these was to be like you were inside of Aperature like seeing the doors and walls.
The right doors are supposed to be, well the doors inside of Aperature Science itself. Not much to it but it was a nightmare trying to get everything as symmetrical as I could. I think it turned out fine especially considering I tried to paint over the original white, then realized I didn't have enough, so desperately tried to wipe it all off but half of it was dried already. But in the end it gave it a "weathered" look so it was actually a win-win for me(I think).
And the left, imm split this one up it two's being the Far left(Big number 16 on it) and Far right(Cake is a lie stuff).
First Far Left. This one I was going for the little signs you can find everytime you enter a level and it gives you the cautions. I chose 16 because of personal reasons and the cautions are what i feel like could happen in my own room, but some are just my favorites.
Secondly Far Right. Okay so this on is supposed to be just a regular wall in a testing area but it was cracked and had stuff written all over it in blood. It's supposed to be the writing that you can find in the secret rooms and the stuff that the Rat Man leaves behind etc.
I do really liked how this turned out and defiantly won't be changing this one for awhile.
Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3(This one)
Finished February 4th, 2024

Okay, I know that I put up a post speculating about how Chris would interact with Marisol, but rewatching his conversation with Buck is making me think of a possible avenue the show could go with his feelings on Eddie and Marisol's relationship.
Earlier, I said that that I saw Chris being distant with Marisol and not making an active effort in getting to know her because her being with Eddie meant that they'd be seeing Buck less. But now? What if Chris still ends up being distant and not trying to form a connection with Marisol, not necessarily because he hates the relationship...
But because he's just waiting for her to walk out just like his mom did with him and Eddie.
And as much as I hate seeing Chris be hurt, Marisol leaving is necessary.
Because she's gonna be the last person to leave.
And Buck is gonna be the first person to actually stay.
I really hope this made sense.

Doodled Ford and Wilson for my partner and I guess this technically counts as fanart for @sunstained 's gravity falls/don't starve au (it's been a really long time since I read it so I'm definitely not up to date but I really enjoyed it and my partner loves it!)
I don't know if this scratches anyone else's itch but if you wanted them interacting hey here ya go

okay in order to avoid getting seduced by sera or josephine, i'm going to have to play this inquisitor as the straightest straight woman who's ever straighted. if she is even a little bit bicurious i will immediately succumb. she LOVES the men and only the men. she's not thinking about the alluring swell of sera's hips or her soft inviting pillowy lips or the way her voice drops when she says honey tongue. unlike me

Here was all the gaiety and glory and sparkle I knew was going to be life if I could just grasp it. For some people history is a graveyard. For me it was an enormous Christmas present wrapped in tissue paper and tied with satin ribbons, and inside would be something to adorn, to amuse, and to dazzle me forever. It was my present for being alive.
Elaine Dundy, The Dud Avocado (1958)
