ive been thinkin about DNIs and like. i dont think theyre an inherently bad concept, i have had situations where i open someones blog, see something in their bio like ''DNI if you think asexuals are LGBT'' and immidiately thought oh, okay, i dont want to follow you and you wouldn't want to follow me. theyre useful both ways.

...the problem is a lot of people just put ''DNI if youre transphobic, homophobic or racist'' and its like. guys. you know most racists dont self-identify as racist, right. like 'proshippers dni' and 'terfs dni' at least somewhat work because people actually identify with those labels but i don't think many people are gonna read that and think ''aw damn, that's me, i'm racist, i guess i'll leave.''

i guess im jut saying if you want a DNI that actually serves a purpose i think you need to use specific talking points (like the aformentioned asexual discourse) that people are gonna identify with. it'd work way better as a signaler of your opinions on small-scale intercommunity discourse than anything else. and also if i see another 'general dni criteria' im going to lose my mind.

#ive been on toyhouse a lot and everybody there has a DNI in their page warnings so youre forced to read them #and a lot of them feel SO pointless #except for the one person whos entire dni was 'dni russians' that was like. well. weirdchamp but at least its effective.

sunstone..? perhaps???

anon ur so real for this... they're my faves since i first played rw

havent drawn them in a loong time though so i doodled these real quick :^)

#rain world #five pebbles #seven red suns #rw sunstone #my art #also to clarify because im annoying and love overexplaining things ☝️🤓#the quote on the second pic is supposed to summarize their feelings towards the great task #and each other too of course #in that theyre kinda right to feel isolated because a lot of other iterators dont talk about this feeling of pointlessness #but theyre still being a tad pretentious here #just because people dont talk about their struggles doesnt mean theyre not struggling!#suns does understand this to a degree #but still #so much of their dialogue reads like a “you're the only one who gets me” kinda thing #okay ill stop rambling #ill never get over these two

Harry the goldfish

#this is from the times i thought i'd ever be strong enough to handle a human comic. how wrong i was #tw blood #i feel so worn down #i've gone into one of those moods where all my projects seem ugly and pointless and unsalvageable #but it'll pass like always #so no need to get concerned about their future

Regulus' Beautiful Boy

Regulus passes softly and peacefully in the middle of the night, like the outpouring tide, and wakes up the next morning in his childhood bedroom.

or

After death Regulus becomes his own imaginary friend and gets to see his beautiful boy again even though he knows he can't save him he tries to give him just a little more love.

#i don't know how this compares to the first one #but i dont know i thought i had something to say maybe i didn't maybe this was pointless #im also having a weird little day but uh idk #im feeling awful about everything i write and a lot of things feel awful right now but hey sad james brings me home or whatever #anywa y #i thought i hated the first one and now it's like my favorite thing i've ever written so maybe i'll like this one too #or maybe i'll delete it time will only tell #it's also midnight right now #i dont know man im tired #hug your friends that's all this fic is asking you to do #jegulus #regulus black #james potter #the marauders #jegulus fic #fic: His Parents' Beautiful Boy

Genuinely convinced that the people who love Ascended!Astarion and argue with people about him genuinely loving Tav the same way he did before, or it being his best ending over Spawn (in terms of character arc, not taste) legit only picked the enthusiastic options for Tav when dealing with him, and most certainly didn't break up with him and talk to him afterward. He says some downright chilling shit to a Tav who refused to become a spawn.

And like, sure, it's because he's hurt and he's coping to some degree. Astarion can be vicious even in a good mode, and Tav agreeing to help him ascend only to essentially abandon him is painful to deal with, but of all the shit for him to say??

Tav can argue that he's becoming like Cazador the night before, and he gets so hurt and angry if Tav says that, and it makes sense! It's a harsh thing to say, and even after that argument, no matter what, Astarion will be willing to let it go if Tav wants to stay together and agrees to become his Spawn. You can run through the entire dialogue tree again before it forces you to pick an out option, that's how desperate he is to keep them. But like goddamn how can you beat the accusations if you're willing to say shit like this?? A thing that could have easily come straight from Cazador!

Regardless, however, of his desperation, his real feelings, Ascended!Astarion is fundamentally different, in his mind, than how he used to be. Magic has literally corrupted him, changed what his body is capable of, the curse that he was given as a spawn is different now. Sure, Astarion didn't stop loving Tav the second the ritual was over, or the day after or the day after that, but even he knows he's changing, and rapidly, but he can only recognize so much of what's different, and everyone else can see what he can't. By his epilogue at the end of the game, he might as well be another vampire lord, just far, far more dangerous.

walking through lucanis' mind prison. the tam lin of it all

#his mind keeps changing forms and you just have to show him you won't let go of him #it doesn't even really matter what you say to him just that you're consistently there to say it. your voice is a comfort. im in pain #I'm having so many feelings about like... rook can't be here. because of all things in the world rook means 'safe'. what if I exploded #what if I just shattered into a thousand pieces and was swept away by the wind actually #'it's better that I stay here than risk losing you' is such pitch perfect trauma logic. freeze logic specifically #on some level he seems to think he keeps rook safe like. existentially. by staying here #it's heartbreaking child magical thinking that makes me wonder like. has he basically been in a place like this inside #ever since his parents died? before that? the ossuary is just new set dressing the underlying logic is OLD. and very very sad to me #'I keep everyone safe by staying here'#(and then the perfect hilarity of having an actual demon be like 'ROOK. YOU TALK TO HIM HE NEVER LISTENS TO ME'#tfw your inner demon gets worried enough to stage an intervention and get you therapy whether you want it or not lmao)#dragon age #dragon age spoilers #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #dragon age: the veilguard #rook x lucanis #lucanis dellamorte #rookanis #rye staying mostly in gentle professional mode for this one b/c this is literally his training #('I may not be batting a hundred at being a person but I DO know how to deal with fade shenanigans! not to worry I've got you')#except in that last part with the illario mind ghost where he roundaboutly admits 'I need you I don't know how to do this without you'#in rye speak that is very big it's like. third base of his soul or something. we do not ask for things for ourselves in this house #(because we already know we will not receive anyway so that sounds both humiliating and ultimately pointless. no thank you!)#and yet. the things we'll admit for love #the feeling that some of the things varric did for rye immediately post-exile rye is paying forward with lucanis now. don't look at me

it was just going to be a few warmup doodles but then she infected the rest of the page like the ever eternal and spreading spores. hod!!! hod. hod :)

#lobotomy corporation #lobcorp #hod #hod lobcorp #lobotomy corp spoilers #I GUESS i almost forgot i drew her box form #lobcorp spoilers #and michelle actually. ..#both very tiny. itty bitty. microscopic #other sephirah there too as normal. i cant have her alone. and Angelina as well on the top patting her #i have a hard time fully capturing her for some reason. in my mind. maybe its because is the disconnected period!!! mentally #she genuinely wishes to care and be kind yet theres a dissonance with what she does..? or how it ends up being taken or what she does to en #up bringing those actions into reality. she can be forceful? wanting to have employees attend therapy sessions and meetings for suppression #tactics. which i think is also something the safety team is incharge of iirc. so that means shes doing way more that what she needs to on #her job as a sephirah. just for the sake of employees #she really does care as shes one of the only to Directly attempt to change their circumstances and quality of life and health #sure chesed doesnt punish employees when they dont do their work assigned or stress them out with work #but he doesnt actively push to attempt to make changes to aid employees besides the research perks which is to the manager #yesod IS right next to her and does also genuinely care but when it comes to employees hes distant at best when it comes to them and the #way he tries to protect them is by enforcing rules but he doesnt really create or attempt to help them like hod does #yesod is sort of a passive? way of doing it. yes he doesn make a push to enforce said rules but he doesnt make new ones. just follows what #is already there in place. hod tries to make new ways and not just for the safety of people like how yesod's has them physically fine and #not letting them over a certain threshold of mental corruption but she tries to have a program to Directly Address such a thing #its born out of care but the genuine worry of being a good person and her naivety ends up having it do more harm than good #sure there may be some employees that actually like and find it useful but so many are just accepting to their fate of Dying to where #her care seems pointless. shes a sephirah and to them a literal metal box why would they go ahead and feel bad for what an 'ai' is feeling #as she is interrupting their free time in the company #which is rude. and shit. iirc the counseling is compulsory but people go because shes a sephirah and their superior. the thought was there #but again it comes off wrong and ends up not working because shes their superior in the end #EEK!!! yeah... hod. the hod. there is WAY more but i can't fit it all here and i already typed enough

Sighhh while I love inanimate Insanity I think they struggle with ending seasons. I still don't like episode 18 of s2 or s3.

While not terrible episodes, the episodes before them are so much stronger and set up things that don't go anywhere.

#talking #inanimate insanity #season 3 was much worse. But I'm still disapointed Mephone did so little in s2e18...I understand they maybe plan to do something with him i #the future. but this kind of ties into my issue with s3. without the knowledge of it all being fake a lot of things just feel like plot hol #while I might go in the future oh! so this is why mephone did nothing in the finale! It should still be able to be satisfying on its own yk #sigh.#idk im rambling.#Ig my main complaint is they need focus more on what exactly their ending is trying to say.#The inner flame takes over in ep17 but does nothing in ep 18? thats frustrating. thats pointless.#The shimmers get teased since ep 16??? and even before that?? but end up doing nothing? again frustrating 😭but that one might be a lil more #biased on my side.

I don't usually do this type of thing but ukw lets be sappy. Happy 2025! 2024 was a mess but after having years of my life swallowed up by depression, anxiety and shame, I finally feel like I've turned a corner. Last year at this time I had been unemployed for two years, a few months out of an intensive outpatient program, trying to find hope through ovr and relapsing back into self harm for the first time in years. I was dreading my 26th birthday because therapy and medication were the only things keeping me going. In February, I was connected with a remote job through ovr that I fell in love with. It isn't perfect and I still have a lot to work through, but for the first time in my life I have a job that values me and makes me feel like I'm moving forward and not just treading water. I'm in a position where I feel like I can give people relief and make them feel valued. I fell in love with press on nails and funky earrings and matcha. I got 10 piercings this year with plans for a lot more. I got two more rats. I fell back in love with reading. I went to pride for the second time and the renn faire twice and a cryptid festival and made candles with my best friend in the whole world. I was able to give my family a huge pile of gifts for Christmas. I'm finally developing my own style and I got more compliments on my outfits this year than in my whole life. It's not perfect. I've also self harmed more in this past year than ever. I'm still not where I want to be in life. I'm still dealing with shame and anxiety and depression. I've been so burnt out from taking commissions while I was unemployed that I've barely drawn this year. But there's time & there's finally hope. Thank you for reading & enduring my disappearances. Thank you for all of the support and love and patience. Here's to laughing until you cry in 2025!

#reposting this from insta #when i was making candles w/ my friend a few weeks ago i looked at myself in the bathroom mirror #and i was like holy shit... i'm finally the person i've always admired from afar style-wise #i don't have a ton of disposable income but after years working part time jobs that pay dirt #i have the confidence to actually express myself through my appearance #in that one day i had people complimenting my jewelry outfit nails and piercings #it felt really good. like i was actually my own person and that i was being seen #after spending my whole life feeling invisible and pointless #i've been reaching out a bit more after spending years isolating myself bc ive been embarrassed abt how 'behind' i've been #it's still a work in progress but it's real genuine progress #idk idk idk it's so sappy anyway it's 2025 anyone wanna admit they're in love with me

Random question abt jd, is skirk her canon design or does she have her cn design? (im totally in love with your cn skirk btw, shes perfect to me <3)

given we're going w guizhong's canon design, i'd say it's the same for skirk? but honestly i think i describe the characters' appearances minimally enough that you could picture her however you like, so

#which is why i put the drawings here n only link them to the fic in the notes as oposed to like #embedding the images in the chapters themselves #i want to leave the freedom for y'all to just imagine the characters however you like. for the most part #if i want something specific i just mention it in the fic #like zhongli and his sweaters #since this is fanfic you all already know what these characters look like so i think it's usually pointless to describe them #and when it comes to ocs or designs made for non-designed characters #i feel like what they look like usually doesn't matter enough to bother anyway #esp given none of the other main characters are getting described so it'd be weird to just ebony darkness some rando out of nowhere hahah #there are exceptions of course #like i said if i feel it matters i do add the descriptions #like skirk in cn being similar looking to the other shades #having the mark of passing. having longer hair (the older one)#being decked out in monster trophies etc #you know what i mean #anyway #aaaaaaa thank you;;;#ily <3 <3

Have we ever seen this old man being affectionate with drivers or other juniors? Or just Yuki? I don't even think I've seen him this close to Max and Seb (off the podium at least)

Brother.

It’s very interesting (read: confusing) how modern Cats designs have reacted to improvements in lighting technology, better ways to have dependably-colored spotlights, etc. by *reducing* the colors they use in some of the costumes? Like, designing with the color of their main song’s lights in mind… without considering how they will look without that light on them?

Example 1: Ann-Marie Craine as Jellylorum
