i say if you’re gonna have the mysterious entities speak in rhyme you might as well commit (EDIT: part 2!)

(posting an unprecedented Part 1 of At Least 3 bc i actually have the entire script and most of the storyboarding for this done already)

#yknow. got an idea. had a breakdown. bon appetit #this was the creative impulse i was referring to on sunday #my art #secret life #secret life spoilers #slsmp #grian #geminitay #briefly #trafficblr #also #mostly bc i am proud of it and partly bc i want people to know it’s on purpose:#grian is not trying to rhyme at all in this part. he is being deliberately unhelpful #he lowkey tries to fuck it up on purpose in that second to last panel but the secret keepers just switch rhyme schemes #the one time he completes an end rhyme is because he lost his temper #anyway yeah this was motivated mostly by me wanting to see if i could do it

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dc robin #batman and robin #alfred pennyworth #dick grayson #bruce wayne #lyrics are ofc from American Teenager by ethel cain #the lyrics are a bit too specific to specifically be a damian song and the verses talk about like. christian church and substance abuse #but thag chorus???? ohhhh baby #its also stephcore btw. to me at least #ANYWAY this took. forever and i did while feeling sick/off in the run up to my period so frankly it's a miracle it got finished at all #but yknow for now im fairly happy w this one. played around w the colours and challenged myself to really put my all into the linework #there's some details here n there that r wrong (failsafes design is. all kinds of wonky) but like. who give a shit #anyway my brain and hands are on vacation for the next few days <3 #btw the blood on damians hands is a reference to the upcoming B&R cover (for 11 or 12 i think?) where damians-#-beating the living daylights out of bane. B&R has mostly been chill n slow so far but these issues...ohhh i am SEATED #uhh anyway yeah <3 #OH WAIT #mine #< haha. art tag i always forget

The Expression of (hard) Limits An In Stars and Time Odile looped AU where it comes full circle about to finding the hard limit of what can be changed in the loops and in the end saw no way out but giving up.

And then she finds that now she's here to guide another through their hell and unlike her expectations, it's not herself but Siffrin that she's here to guide.

'The Expression of Limits' had been prepared to explain to herself why hope was pointless as she's ALREADY tried everything...but can't make herself give that speech to Siffrin, even if she's rather bad at pretending she has much hope getting free of the time loops.

For their part, Siffrin is 50% less worried about the time loops in this AU, mostly because he's using up extra worry on this weird version of Odile who's depressive tendencies seem just as important to address as the whole time looping thing.

#isat #in stars and time #odile looping au #isat odile #isat siffrin #this au is ALL vibes and so easier to draw then write for #mostly i just wanted to draw that hat?#also the idea that the expressions are a bit like kami #at least enough for odile to have decided the reference to such would be a good introduction to herself #and then have to explain what that means to Siffrin instead #amsues me a lot #really half of Limit meeting Siffrin is her saying something #Siffrin looking a bit upset #and Limit apologizing by saying she's planned to say that to Odile not them #my art #Sky's the Limit au

House M.D. but it's when Wilson says House's name

#house md #james wilson #prince's talk tag #finally!!! it's done! this and the house version took almost two weeks to do #first off thank you to the clinic-duty team on livejournal for making the transcripts for these episodes #because this video would be near impossible to make without their clear transcripts. I hope y'all are doing well #ive been reading a lot of fics with these two and i see how the authors have the characters refer to each other in their fics #and that got me wondering how much do they say each other's name in the show and how do they refer to each other #since this is the wilson video ill put his stats here #s1 was 11 times s2 was 18 s3 was 45 s4 was 32 s5 was 41 s6 was 60 s7 was 47 and s8 was 48 #in total he says his name 302 times. Mostly refers to him just by House #the only time I've heard him say his first name its when he's being professional or when he's really angry (and that one time he proposed)#and even then it's always the full name not just the first name #the only instance I've seen him use just his first name was on that note he put on House's xmas gift that we see in season 5 #and as much as I wanted to put that moment in here he never actually says the contents of the note out loud so i had to leave it out #but what surprised me was he says House's name more than House says his name #especially when the earlier seasons didn't have him say his name as much

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

#original #the last unicorn #tlu #peter s beagle #molly gru #schmendrick #schmendrick the magician #two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first!#my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped!#no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different.#to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life!#but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol #because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb #the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!!#my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘#i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful.#and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE #mostly zoro's blades from One Piece #normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and #then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU #and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

"It's gonna be okay, right?"

'I don't know, but thank you."

"For what?"

"Weeks, months, I dunno, how long have we been together?"

"I don't know, months?"

"Feels like... years."

-Critical Role Campaign 3, Episode 87, "Doorways to Darker Depths"

#critteredit #criticalroleedit #cr spoilers #critical role #imogen temult #orym of the air ashari #mine #campaign 3 #laura bailey #liam o'brien #i know the years line is mostly likely reference to how fucking long this war has felt like to them #but to me my first thought was..... youve always known each other. through caleb & jester. through vax & vex. through & beyond exandria.

text transcription:

Many springs ago, I perceived a sea of flowers upon a lake. I thought to myself that those fleeting colors held indescribable beauty.

The next time I perceived those colors was many years later, when the medic’s tent had blinded me to all but red. The radiance of that shining star was lost on my eyes.

Now, my eyes no longer perceive the subtleties in the colors around me.

But I am content.

For I can now see the most brilliant colors in my universe.

anyways yeah why did they fucking do that to jiaoqiu bro

the planning for this experimentalish comic is under keep reading
