gentle mornings
#alternatively titled - when your papas have the audacity to cuddle without you#kazurei#buddy daddies#i like to think they didnt really do cuddles much except when rei has a rough night and kazukis warmth and safety is the only thing that#can let him get rid of the anxiety and nightmares#he wouldnt ask for it#it would be kazuki dragging him to bed at first#rei reluctantly but in his weakened will the times hes slept together with miri and kazuki has been the times hes somehow always#managed to go out like a light as soon as his head hits the pillow#even he himself doesnt understand and he doesnt attempt to and he doesnt realise#that its safety and warmth and protection and peace#and thats the only reason he would let himself be dragged to bed#but#eventually when you have had the taste of something so good in the place of chilling nightmares and restless darkness that feels no less#safer than the light#your heart becomes indulgent#and rei will gently and wordlessly ask for an invite to the warmth again#its fulfilling and blissful when the three of them are together#but with just kazukis body enveloping him against the night its a different kind of comfort. even in his sleep he would clutch onto it#thats a tangent right there huh.....anyway. miri would be absolutely betrayed in the morning when she finds them snuggled up#she gets her cuddle time with her papas too then#one big pile of a warm and happy family#yes this is pre relationship yes they would do that yes it is possible#if you got this far thanks i guess jajdjfjs ill hopefully colour this soon but i dont know really so im putting it up here#my art

Hey, gentle recognition for the people who are taking care of themselves in "not aesthetically-pleasing" ways. To the people who have to do things they don't want to because they know they would suffer more if they didn't, to the people who have to brush their teeth with their fingers, to the people who have to use washcloths to bathe, to the people who need to punch pillows or scream into them to express their intense emotions, to anybody ashamed about the way they need to live and take care of themselves.
You are doing the very best you can with the hand you've been dealt. It's not easy, it's not pretty, but it sure as fuck takes so much to do these things. You are doing what is best for yourself, and I, for one, think you deserve to be proud of that. Self-care isn't easy. It isn't pretty, often, but it's something you shouldn't be ashamed of or hide away because it's deemed "grotesque" or "not really self-care (because self-care is pretty and non-threatening to 'normal peoples' senses)"
#mental health#mental health support#self care#like when i was still in school i would end up forcing myself to go because i knew i would feel worse if i hadn't...#...and i don't think people get how difficult that is. it isn't like you choose to be difficult when you struggle#and feeling ashamed about doing these things only makes the situation worse for them (the person struggling)#something i've just been thinking about#i hate this idea that self-care *only* looks like the 'healthy' person's treat days...#...like lighting candles around your bathtub and putting rose petals in the water...#...because that isn't the only aspect to taking care of yourself. sometimes it looks like forcing yourself to bathe and grieving...#...and using rough washcloths because you can't stand the feeling of your own skin and you can't stand how dirty you feel...#...and obviously i'm not saying that mentally ill people doing self-care is the only way it looks...#...but that it really doesn't help us when self-care is almost made into a 'non-threatening' activity that is pleasant and nice-looking#and of course the examples i used in this post were examples and aren't the end-all-be-all

amazing digital circus would be so alright if it was good
#juney.txt#it's not a show i hate but wow the writing just isn't there#there's a whole lot of#shit just arbitrarily happens. we're doing this emotional scene where we SUBTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:tm: hint at lore or character development#uhhhhh just because the writer says so i guess. it doesn't really feel natural or properly built to it usually just kinda happens.#there are moments it *doesn't* feel like that. the kinger and pomni stuff comes to mind as a rare exception#but for the most part it feelsss. cobbled together. inelegant.#half of episode one is just characters going ''huh?? what??? what is happening i don't understand???''#and it's usually to things the audience has figured out the general gist of within two seconds of seeing it. it's very awkward#idk i'm too sleep deprived to put my criticisms more concretely and into words. hence putting all this in the tags#writing is hard. the team behind the show just kinda don't have a grasp on what to do with it.#everything else about the show is technically competent#editing. cinnamon topography. animation. sound design. lighting and colour.#acting is a little rough but to be fair. like i said they're not working with the best writing#and also find me literally any piece of media from the past ten years with good acting#it's a dying art i tells ya

Please pray for the repose of the souls of all those who have passed today in car accidents. I passed by a motorcycle accident today (of which emergency personnel were already there) of a man who had been thrown from his vehicle and they were no longer performing medical intervention.
#no idea what happened but the man had been thrown from his motorcycle and my guess is it happened overnight#and so he was already very much gone#a part of the freeway that has no lighting because its in the middle of reservation land#police had just gotten there but they werent even attempting to resuscitate#and little traffic meant i ended up getting a full view as i slowed for flashing lights#low key traumatic day#i later saw a lost dog wandering around next to the freeway#a bit ol st bernard#but there was no way for me to convince my mom to stop and help#the past couple days have been a really rough time#anyways --#pr#prayer request

Made some L4D2 style portrairs of the first survivor group! Inspired by the fact I've seen people do L4D style portraits with the second group but not vice versa.
You can definitely see me begin to understand the art style more as I go on; for which I seeked out online images of the face actors and modified accordingly (adjusting contrast levels, adding Bill's hat, Francis' scars, etc.) (Sean Bennett, Louis' face actor only has like two photos on Google of him. I chose the one you've probably already seen being posted around).
Please do not use these to make a mod, they were made purely for fun.
#francis' portrait is rough cause the source image had very low contrasting values lol... the portraits really need dramatic lighting#as they are going to be waay smaller in gameplay#good thing this isnt for a mod#me blabbing on about this means i genuinely had fun. i was interested in it. i learned new things.#you know what else was hard to find? a photo of sonja with her hair up facing forward. i had to add in the ears myself#left 4 dead#bill l4d#zoey l4d#francis l4d#louis l4d#nishart#eye contact

So what if I said season 1 and season 7 of TDP are my favorites. Can you blame me?
And I'm tired of having to pretend those are some of the worst seasons of their retrospective arcs.
#the dragon prince#tdp#that's when viren and aaravos's characters were peak#and now I'm thinking about it that's kinda funny for me to believe#since those two seasons were when they weren't in each others lives#anyways idc about the choppy animation of s1#I actually think s1 has some the best lighting and visuals despite the animation#and after rewatching that season so many times I only noticed the animation quality after I saw a commentary ytber clown on it#ig I was too immersed in the storyline#but seriously so many shows have rough first seasons cuz they're just trying to figure out what works and how to start off the main story#but I think tdp is an exception by miles#the story telling structure of s1 is so well down for a first season and whenever I look back after learning so much since then#I still think the first season did a phenomenal job setting up the series and its main conflicts#like a really fucking good job#and I'm so annoyed by the old commentary videos that came out when it first released cuz none of them got the themes#and even now ppl still act like it was the worst of arc 1 or at least mediocre compared to the rest and just#I still put s1 over s3#sorry I said it#and in terms of s7 yeah whatever have your complaints about it as a final season and how well of it job it did at being one#as its own season regardless of being a final it is probably my second favorite in the series#ik ppl will say s6 structurally and story wise is the best but I genuinely think s7 was better for arc 2#as much as it didn't resolve there was still so much it did and even added more clarity to#like I am still amazed at how they completely changed my mind on claudia and what type of character she is#and I'm still so thankful with the direction they went for aaravos it was so fitting and that was always the personality and motives#that I've always attributed to him

Every now and then, I stumble across that "Fulcrum was Pivot" theory/headcanon post again, and I have a thought about it, not exactly a theory at this point, obviously, and not backed up by any evidence whatsoever, but a funny headcanon/au that relates to it
What if Pivot and Fulcrum were twins? More specifically, identical twins.
Separated at birth, from one of the last Cybertronian hotspots, as the planet began to steadily decline, and resources continued to run out, one was taken away by the Decepticons, off to further and help build the future of the Decepticon Empire, and the other brought into the Autobots, learning and helping to further science and their continued survival. Neither one ever knowing about the other, or what happened at the hotspot they both came from.
We don't know much about Pivot, other than that he was lucky enough to find love in the shape of Chromedome, which uh... makes the "lucky" part a bit debatable, seeing as the next fact we know about him is that he's dead, and that Chromedome erased his memory of him, and that Brainstorm is the one that carries the burden of those forgotten memories.
But what if Pivot had one hell of a chin, and a coppery orange face, with bright warm golden optics, and little winged finials over his audials, maybe he smiled real wide too, maybe he had a big laugh in contrast to his leaner frame, maybe he had a terrible taste in comedy, maybe he was smart, another bright mind in the dark halls of the New Institute, and he fell in love, and he was loyal, and he committed, and maybe he was brave, too brave, and he messed up, or ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, or he ran towards danger, and then he was gone, and Chromedome forgot him, but Brainstorm didn't.
(And somewhere, far far away, Fulcrum feels an odd pang in his spark, unfamiliar and strange, almost like a rip or a tear, a sudden separation, which is probably concerning, but then it's nothing compared to the damning shadow of an Autobot dreadnought breaking through the atmosphere above him as he steps out onto freshly cyberformed ground, and it's background noise compared to the cold sinking feeling in his tank, and the sharp jittery urge to run as far away as he can as gunfire erupts and voices scream and shout around him, and he forgets it as his pump hammers a panicked doomed beat in his audials as he's dragged back home to face his commanders and his people as a coward and a failure.)
Years and years and years pass, and its been a long time since they've chatted in person, old contacts, subpar wartime spies, a handler and his insider at the bar, on a victory lap, and isn't it funny how the universe brings you together? But Brainstorm can't focus as Misfire chatters on, because that mech in his group is nagging at his processor. Because there's something so terribly, painful familiar about that face, those optics, even the chin?! But he can't place it. Somethings too different. The frame, the mannerisms, the voice. But maybe Misfire notices the wandering look, he waves, and Fulcrum turns, and it hits Brainstorm when he recognizes that look, that smile, that fond exasperated crinkle of warm golden optics, directed towards the mech beside him, because this has happened before, and suddenly, for a moment, he's back in the New Institute, with Chromedome at his side, and it's Pivot sitting across the room smiling at them.
Cue Brainstorm desperately trying to figure out how and why Fulcrum looks so much like Pivot.
Did Pivot somehow live?? Did the Decepticons kidnap him, then brainwash him, and then turn him into a bomb?! Is this just an imposter!?! Who's... not really good at being an imposter... Did Chromedome and Pivot secretly create an evil Pivot clone in the labs without including him or letting him know!?!?!?!
Shenanigans ensue
#could be silly. could be sad. why not both? both is good. poor brainstorm tho lmao. cant catch a break#mtmte#tf idw#fulcrum#chromedome#brainstorm#misfire#lost light#transformers idw#maccadam#lil bit of fulfire implications ig. but eh. was going for a certain vibe recollection wise. so. eh. its there too ig#been sitting on this post for a really long time. wasnt sure how i wanted to word it. plus i wasnt sure if itd been discussed before?#i looked around quite a bit. not that im the best at digging. but i tried. and it was mainly just the hc itself expanded on. so???#it must of been wild and pretty fun to make theories and all as the comic was running. neat stuff those theory posts.#the fulcrum being pivot deal. as a hc. isnt one i'm keen on ngl? but i do see the like. idea and appeal of it tho#idk. imo chromedome's partners being like. *dead* dead adds so much weight to his story. esp for brainstorms part in it all.#but yeah. idk. my spin on it ig. funny tragic twins au or smth. not terribly original. but it was a thought that wouldnt leave me lol#i had more thoughts. but im honestly so tired rn lol. been a rough... idk. *gestures vaguely*. a rough going lets say#been doomscrolling too much lately. which doesn't help anyone. obvs. so. gonna try and do better. or just. more ig. keep busy#oh uh. happy easter and such to those that celebrate. and ig happy 4/20 too lol. idk. happy ''day'' to anyone who could use a happy day#anyways. its almost 6am. yeesh. goodnight and good mornin' <3

In the terms of cookie run kingdom you're kinda like the pure vanilla to my shadow milk cookie
i dont play crk but my friend explained to me the lore and those 2 sounded so much like yuu and shunkun so i had to(ФωФ)
(+process pics in read more!!!)

never drawing cookie run kingdom clothing ever again I fought for dear life even though ive drawn genshin clothing before /j
#re:kinder#yuuichi mizuoka#shunsuke takano#fanart#parun#my art#cr kingdom#anyway yes i do not play it merely because my phone would like. die but i wish i could for the yuri#but my friend's phone did survive having the game and as he got to da shadow milk story or something we were like#“isnt that just. yuuichi mizuoka cookie#like ITS INSANE THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN SM AND PV IN THERE IS LIKE. ABSURDLY SIMILAR#who in devsisters played rekinder#now i can have a way to explain why i cannot stop drawing these two to the youth/j#i may have fought for dear life to make the clothing work with the sillies#usually i do not have to plan my color i am able to mess with its values by eye and hardly have much issues with it#but the clothing of the cookies is so well suited to their original character design (which. it should be like that its very good)#so it makes it a bit hard to put that clothing into characters with drastically different base color palettes JAKDJANFNANF#im specially saying this about PV and Shunkun because the light cone colors are balanced by PV having dark skin so it doesnt really clash#but Shunkun's skin color is like. almost the same as the cone so i had to do a whole thing where i made a rough vision of color#usually the way i color is i simply go part by part. color one part and shade it all in one go#as i said i have ease at balancing the values of things with my own eye so it hardly is ever an issue#BUT NAWWW I DID A WHOLE LAYER OF JUST. MESSING WITH EVERY COLOR THAT WAS GONNA BE ON SHUNKUN AND ITS DARK TONES#so yes thats the extra random pic of shunkun with messy coloring in the progress pics that was me figuring out in what way to go about it#very helpful i recommend to do that if you ever end up in that situation its good like#it made me kinda wish i did it with yuu since i did struggle a bit with his colors too albeit not as badly as with shunkun#its much easier to keep progressing on a drawing's coloring once you know how itll look like by the end#so yes do recommend that technique#thankfully i dont really have to do it drawing the sillies normally since ive specified their colors in advance since i started drawing em#but still very useful for these kinds of things where i draw them with drastically different clothing wwww
