Five foot something and he's royalty.
#poorly drawn odyssey#the odyssey#odysseus#I was drawing him short because it was funny. I didn't expect it to come up in the text himself.#Remember that at this point he's retelling the story to the court of Alcinous.#So him saying 'Yeah I got to ride on the best and coolest ram so I only needed one of them' sounds like he's justifying being small.#I know there are likely other interpretations of this so it's not 'canonical' per say#but I didn't think my goofy short lump of misery parody version of ody was going to be...well...closer that expected.#By they way if you are a lover of sopping wet men - read the Odysssey.#So far he has solved 90% of his problems by wailing and sobbing so pathetically until people give up and help him out.#(sadly I am out of chronological order with the comics I wanted to post...next one WILL be the nausicaa comic I promise.#I've been very sick and swamped with work so comics are hard to do...I'm keeping my chin up though! I'll be slow but I'll do it!)

The silly stupid alien show about ghosts that steal your cock and balls just pulled the most gut wrenching, poignant shit possible and portrayed it so artistically and meaningfully what is even life.
This was MASTERFULLY done. The visual and environmental storytelling, the subtle foreshadowing, and inject those motifs into my fucking BLOOD.
Ho. Ly shit. Good fucking lord.
#dandadan#dandadan episode 7#ok so it should come as no surprise that i grew up on paranormal stories about ghosts aliens cryptids urban legends the whole nine yards#acrobatic sara sara is one japanese urban legend i don't see portyayed a lot. it's a bit nore obscure so when i saw they included her#i was IMMEDIATELY hyped.#but this episode#they did something so different#so unique#this is what i love about adaptations of urban legends you can do so much with them put so much meaning into something so underdeveloped#and what they did with that concept. holy shit.#they took a baseline legend about an underrated woman yokai - something that there are plenty of - saw her gimmick#and just shot it out of the motherfucking park.#it made me insane and then it made me cry so hard i gagged im dead serious.#the art in this show has been beautiful so far but never has it meant as much to me as it did here.#i love these characters so fucking much.#i need to read the manga. please dear god someone tell me where i can read the manga for free.#acrobatic silky#dandadan spoilers#dandadan acrobatic silky#dandadan aira#aira shiratori#if you hate aira shiratori genuinely fuck all the way off.

Hi I have caught up to you on having feelings about Zhuzhi-Lang. He's a good boy! 🥺 Good snake boy! 🥺 I had the thought, after Zhuzhi let SQQ leave after SQQ yelled at him... what if they Stole Him. What if.
(Also have you read/been recommended anything by corduroyserpent yet? Big writer of Zhuzhi-Lang fics, including a very cute de-aged Zhuzhi-Lang and some zhushen)
Justifications of bride-stealing!
(AND HE'S THE BEST BOY 😭 I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, SO MUCH!! have some further au thoughts because this has contaminated my brain...)
What I think would actually happen if they stole SQQ? Absolutely nothing good for anyone, LBH would Lose His Fucking Mind xD as a more interesting answer though, I like the idea that Shen "Pedantic Nitpicky Asshole" Qingqiu's primary point of argument is that he is not a bride so he cannot be "bridenapped" regardless of demonic tradition or intention!
This eventually leads to them all completely avoiding the Maigu Ridge incident because TLJ realizes that, somehow, SQQ doesn't realize the depths of his son's feelings for him and decides to put all his efforts into being a wingman for his nephew instead because he finds the entire thing absolutely hilarious and rather satisfying after his own sad romance. Obviously someone like SQQ would do much better with his good, loyal nephew than the disappointing offspring of that disastrous relationship!
As for ZZL he just has to assume that LBH must not be treating SQQ anywhere near the way he should be (and like... he isn't wrong at this point, there is a non-zero amount of torture and terror going on here) if SQQ doesn't see himself as being tied to LBH in any way. And if he's not attached to LBH then there's absolutely no reason he shouldn't make his own efforts to seduce SQQ! After all, if LBH isn't valuing SQQ properly then obviously ZZL has to step up because someone as kind as SQQ deserves the best!!!
#svsss#zhushen#zhuzhi lang#tianlang jun#shen qingqiu#sqq#zzl#tlj#my art#if this is incoherent please pardon me orz the timeline is all jumbled up in my head i read this series way too fast#but this is the rabbit hole your ask sent me down#listen i love zhuzhi-lang SO much#he is SO good and also so stupid bless his scaly heart#and tianlang-jun does NOT help matters#i want to see their combined efforts to woo sqq away from lbh i think it'd be hilarious#...however considering this would take place before getting ride of xin mo i can't imagine things. uh. go well if dragged out too long#lbh is not in like a super duber place mentally at this point in the story#on the other hand can you imagine shang qinghua witnessing this and doing his ABSOLUTE best to nope out of that nightmare#LBH'S FATHER AND COUSIN ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE PERSON LBH'S DECIDED TO ROMANCE?? WHEN HAS THAT EVER WORKED OUT WELL IN PIDW????#KEEP SQH OUT OF IT!!!! (he's not going to be allowed to stay out of it)#sqq's mental gymnastics over this romantic offensive would be very impressive#well you've given me a nice thing to think about while falling asleep tonight#EDIT: oh and as far as corduroyserpent i know i've at least read their ''i shine only with the light you gave me''#that one was absolutely WONDERFUL i was very emotional about it - i don't know whether or not i've stumbled across any of their others tho#i'll have to dive into their ao3 profile and search it more intentionally though if they come with praise like this ���

Pokémon Timeskip Series: Champion Dawn 🌸❄️
Known as Sinnoh’s Ice Queen, Dawn is best known for her intimidating yet caring nature. She’s fierce and calculating, never leaving any room for error especially when it comes to battling. On her off days you can find her in the contest hall, a hobby she picked up from her mother, or in the Battle Frontier/Pokémon Lab to catch up with her best friends. It is said she was recently engaged to a certain johto boy (Ethan. It’s Ethan.) however they will not publicly revealed their plans for the wedding as of yet
Made a timeskip adult champion Dawn design a while back! It’s still my favorite of my timeskip series hehehe I hope you enjoy!
Twitter link
#trainer dawn#pokemon#pokémon#dawn pokemon#Art#Ally draws stuff#pokemon timeskip#Wait I can ramble in the tags that’s fucking right#ok so her design was heavily inspired by Cynthia obviously carrying over the same sorta philosophy#She has a few references to the Pokémon she uses! The scrunchies on her wrist for example relating back to (Shiny) Mega Lopunny#Very proud of that Diamond and Pearl necklace btw while her skirt alt design comes with a jacket so it’s v platinum-esque#She has moon earrings if you zoom in closely along with her star clips!#I still like the triangle clips she has cause it’s a more shape but star clips are cool hella regal#I forgot Lucas wore a beret tbh 💀 but translating her hat to a beret was hella fun#also DP color scheme ofc but I changed it up a bit hehehe#her shoes are a reference to palkia in a way! I paid a dumb amount of attention to how Pokémon translates shoes…#But yeee she’s my favorite timeskip design by far along with my Lyra#I have this whole story I’m building up I hope to release one day hopefully aaaa#The Cherry Blossom in the Winter Snow……….#Oh yeah the engagement ring…… she and Ethan are engaged btw 😳#pokemon dppt#pokemon bdsp#YUCK THERES A BDSP TAG NOOOOO gotta do it for the clout

On the Jason as Uncle Ben variant—you’re response, you can’t do this to me! It’s making me more insane! After the Grey Ghost bit in LoF I thought of a crackpot theory of Uncle Ben being Bruce. And I was like no, Peter would recognize him(but the time is shifted and would he recognize that version?; probably, whatever). But his ages could line up(but what about the name change that’s inconsistent; handwave that). And your answer is throwing fuel on that fire I want to suppress
teehee :3 i might maybe have a plan and a reason for that... there are some variants that are not the *exact* same as the other. (Biggie and Benny, for example...) they don't look the exact same and they don't have the same stories, but fundamentally they are the same person. i played around with the multiverse. Even Peter looks different from a lot of Peter Parker variants. Sort of like how the three Peter Parkers in the one Holland movie are Peter, but all look different. I took some liberties to spice the story up ( ̄y▽, ̄)╭
#some variants DO look the exact same#because nothing had changed about their family line#but other variants are still like. same soul but different body#so that's why peter ha acted the way he has with bruce so far#“I instinctually can tell we're family and i have to mess with you”#but he had no idea#bruce wayne#ben parker#peter parker#there's also going to be a lot more later that shows that ben and bruce aren't all that different#it's just that circumstance prevented their stories from coming together...#circumstance: death#erinwantstowrite#ao3 fanfic#leap of faith ao3#ao3#thank you for the ask!

there's that fucked up three-eyed thing that lives in the woods. whose turn is it to chase it off again??
#submas#submas art#so long story short i cant fucking draw people. i can draw all sorts of beasties but alas the human Face has always eluded me unless im#drawing direct from reference#which simply means. i guess come up with ideas where i get to draw a lot of pokemon and maybe some dude From A Distance#anyway i really like all the like. one of them has to go a little fucking nuts in the woods. aus#submas microwave au#you see a subway boss from far away and his eyes shine like medallions just like his hat pin#in the naked twilight of a snowy night where everything glows and nothing is truly dark#and maybe he's got a mega concussion and amnesia#get adopted by creatures. idiot#submas ingo#i just feel like in an age and era where 'unusual/strange human' = dog thats going to maul my face#that this would. not go well yk#ft his little clown shoes. theyre so funny to me. little as in honkin big#loud booming calls in a language known only to it. even the zoroark seem to shun it#taking a mockery of its shape and trying to chase it down#though some in turn embrace it#seen especially commonly with ghost pokemon#perhaps its a ghost itself?#whatever it is. its not allowed in camp

"The Deputation" is a stupid title. It shoulda been called "Percy Has To Do Bloody Everything Around Here."
#the twin engines (rws)#carrying tidmouth on his buffers#ttte#ttte percy#i *do* remain a bit baffled how duck disappears from the narrative after the first story#i'm glad percy has the role he does it's just... hmmm#the conclusion i always come to is that duck wants to be as far away from 'interference' as possible#i suspect one of the rare dark sides of the great western way is that it doesn't allow for any resistance on assignments and scrapping

SOMEbody failed his wisdom save to resist unlimited tadpole power, and that somebody is definitely my tav Mayhew. a WIP:
mindflayers are incredibly fun to draw fwiw, do recommend
#i don't usually do linework but it's super fun#the bg3 theme about loss of identity - often expressed through increasing monstrosity - is incredibly my jam#what if you can't make it through as the same person you began - literally? what if you save everyone and are made worse for it?#what if you're a liar and a cheat in a story where consequences are inevitable & inescapable? what if there are debts that always come due?#how much worse would you make yourself for love? for curiosity? for the sake of others who deserve better? for power?#mayhew's answer so far to all of those has been 'a lot worse' and consequences just came to call#bg3#the emperor#bg3 emperor#mayhew#gnome tav#my art#me drawing: how buff can i make a tentacle. very buff? even buffer than that?

bbc: Some sweet #Silvacre content for your FYP ❤️
#silvacre#suranne jones#rose leslie#vigil#the bbc making a silvacre fan edit was a pleasant surprise :)#i saw the streaming numbers for vigil 2 were very good (understatement)#which makes an s3 at least a possibility#if they can write a story suranne and rose would sign on for#i'm counting on what suranne said that the continuation of the love story is a big part of what brought her back#the series does a good job creating dramatic tension and conflict within a happy relationship that doesn't involve cheating or one dying#if they do a 3rd season i hope that continues#i mean the series started with amy in the worst possible place emotionally and psychologically so surely they wouldn't go there again#s2 with its wlw mlm solidarity/parallel storyline and giving us more insight into amy and how far she's come since s1#on top of all the other things i liked this season (which i enjoyed quite a bit in addition to the ship)#at heart it's very critical of the british government and military/war machine and some reviews seem to have missed that part#anyway i'm pleased as punch that a prestige bbc drama has two women in love at its center and a lead as compelling as amy#and that it's pulling in the numbers even without the submarine and claustrophobia (admittedly a cool premise)#keep making the fanvids bbc social media team we appreciate you#queue

I found a book on First Ladies by President's Daughter Margaret Truman and paged through it a bit, and I'm already obsessed with this story about Herbert Hoover.
Herbert Hoover had a tender heart, and his First Lady had an even more tender one--but they were loath to reveal their private feelings to the American voter and were appalled at the thought of publicizing them for political gain. A perfect example was the story of three children from Detroit, the oldest thirteen, who showed up at the White House gates to ask the President to help get their father out of jail. The man had stolen a car to keep his family from starving. President Hoover ordered a meal for the children from the White House kitchen, sat them in chairs around his desk, and talked to them about their father. He told them he was sure he was a good man, if he had children who loved him enough to travel all the way from Detroit to Washington for his sake. After the children left, Hoover called in his secretary, who saw tears on the President's face. "Get that man out of jail," Hoover said. "I don't care how you do it." The secretary succeeded in quashing the conviction--and asked the President if he could release the story to the press. "Of course not!" Hoover said.
And also with this related story further down the page.
Both Lou and the President gave thousands of dollars of their own money to strangers who wrote to the White House begging for help. Always, the gifts were anonymous, delivered through friends who were asked to investigate the pleas to make sure the money was needed.
#presidential talk#history is awesome#herbert hoover#the chapter is about first ladies who were torn apart by a malicious press#lou shares the chapter with rachel jackson#everything i learn about hoover makes his story more fascinating#the book seems pretty cool#since margaret lived in the white house in the middle of the century she has personally met a lot of the twentieth century figures#she's got a chatty style and is transparent about her personal feelings toward these people#so far she seems to like most of the people i like (at least when it comes to the historical ones)#(taft is one of her favorite historical figures which is delightful)

something about when you choose the other to dismantle the wards near the end of the game Neve or Bellara will disapprove of your decision. and like I can’t see another reason for that except that both of them wanted to protect the other, just in case it went wrong. and when something does go wrong and one of them gets kidnapped? i can only imagine the guilt and fear they’re feeling, wishing they’d argued with you more and insisted on being the one to dismantle them to save the other from that fate, hoping beyond hope that the other is still alive… their relationship kills me it really does
#bellara lutare#neve gallus#veilguard spoilers#I’ve only played where Bellara gets kidnapped so far and Neve just sits in Bel’s room#and the dialogue implies she’s been staying there for days. like she’s waiting for Bellara to come back despite knowing she won’t#and i can only assume Bellara does the same thing if Neve has been kidnapped#i saw someone post dialogue that was Bellara saying they told each other everything. how many times did they sit in each other’s rooms and#just talk about everything they were facing. their fears. their hopes. silly things too like book club and serials. about Neve’s cases and#stories about Cyrian. the potential romances brewing in the lighthouse.#my Rook romanced Neve and did Neve admit to Bellara how she felt before she even told Rook?#did Bellara pick up on it and get overexcited but stop herself when she saw Neve getting genuinely emotional about it?#did Bellara make them sweets to eat while they sat on Bellara’s bed and helped plot out her novel? while Neve rambled about her theories#for the case and Bellara listened and added input from reading her serials#I’m insane about their dynamic it’s just so… genuinely sweet and soft

i have been thinking about malevolent 46 all day theres something about it that just. fucking. works so well. it’s so perfectly eerie and frightening with such great moments of arthur and john reacting so wrong to whats happening. that specific moment in the fairy ring really just latched into my brain it was so wonderfully and whimsically terrifying. the loss of control and arthur’s reaction is so fascinating to me
#arthur malevolent#malevolent#malevolent podcast#malevolent 46#jarthur#arthur lester#john doe#the MUSIC too goddamn…the way it got faster and faster with arthur’s story building was mwah chefs kiss#season 5 has been WONDERFULLY creepy so far#i love me some medieval eldritch horrors#and i KNOW john will be kicking himself for how he unwittingly reacted to the story in the ring#and arthur is clearly freaked the fuck out ohhh boy#how did it feel to have such a closely guarded well kept secret pulled from his lips in such an excruciating fashion#unable to fully comprehend what’s happening until it’s too late#coming back to yourself realizing that this horrible thing has been yanked from between your teeth#all the while you leapt and danced and wept#guilt is such a palpable force in the podcast it is FASCINATING to see how it interweaves through arthur and john’s actions

2.1 spoilers ahead!
Now that I had time to sit on what happened in 2.1 and gather my thoughts. I just want to say that 2.1 has been the best patch so far. In 2.0 HSR did a wonderful job showing all these different fractions within Penacony and how every single one of them had their own agendas. In 2.1 we got to see what their agendas were and how they were going to/are playing out.
The different POVs were a wonderful and amazing addition to the story. It was really nice being able to see and play the same story from another character's perspective.
Aventurine was by far the best character in Penacony for me. The way his story was told was amazing and being to play from his POV allowed us so much more insight into his character. The way his backstory was told, the way he planned to "kill" himself, and the way he finally came to terms with his own past, present, and future were so good some parts of his story genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Seeing Acheron come to the realization of his plan and taking away harmony's curse off of him and giving him a second chance and an out from the IPC I don't even have words to describe how much I loved that scene. There's also his and ratio's relationship I loved every second of their interactions. Their plan for ratio to betray him, ratio giving medicine to aventurine to use when he's close to death god every second of their interaction was amazing I could go on forever about them. I am very excited to see where his story will go on from here.
There's also the fact we got to hear Boothill's voice and holy shit I'm so excited to see him! The interactions between Acheron and Welt had me hooked I desperately need more interactions between them.
The way 2.1 ended has me so excited for 2.2. I never expected Gallagher to be excused of "killing" Robin it was an unexpected twist but I loved it very much. I have so many questions after that ending did Gallagher kill sunday? Is Gallagher truly responsible for the murders that have been happening in penacony? What happened to Robin? Where is Robin? Overall I can't wait for 2.2!!!
#I still have so many thoughts about this#but it would have gotten too long#penacony has been nothing but amazing so far#may 2.2 come faster#truly the best patch so far#very excited to see how this story is gonna end#penacony#hsr#honkai star rail#honkai star rail 2.1#hsr spoilers#aventurine#acheron#gallagher#welt yang#black swan#boothill#dr ratio#sunday

every day I’m grateful landoscar fandom can draw the line between fun rpf and reality and that we never attracted the rpf pipeline fans who fully flip reality on its head to … and I’m not joking … think that another driver wasn’t trying to win a race ?? he was trying to be on a podium with Lando ??
the absolute delulululuuuu of ppl choosing to not have heard Carlos’ pissed off radio and then repeating it in his post race that if he had Lando’s “luck” with the SC then he would’ve won it instead of Lando. he literally went “fuck, so he’s won it then” in an angry voice and later on doubling down on Lando’s “luck” with the SC and how if Carlos could’ve had that he’d have gladly taken the win for himself he didn’t gaf about being on the podium with his lil buddy he wanted to win instead of Lando and he said so
and that last year when Lando said he would like Carlos on the podium with him for his first race win he literally said “so I can look down on him for once” he didn’t give a shit about anything but finally beating everyone on that track including Carlos which he’s literally said as well repeatedly he’s literally said he has no friends when racing
like these are brotherly yes but still very competitive digs they’re getting in at each other they’re not even misconstrued as friendly shavdjdbejbd
which makes sense since they call each other brother and cabrón but howwww do you mistake any of that for them giving two fucks about their friendship when they’re both wanting to beat the other at all costs like yknow they should as racing drivers ???
ironic tho bc it was Max and Oscar who stipulated that the SC may have been a bit of a help but that “Lando still had the pace even after that” to win like it’s wild how rpf can make people ignore that Max hates being second and still stuck up for Lando and Oscar had had his entire race completely ruined and still made sure to immediately and repeatedly defend Lando against ppl thinking the SC car gifted him a win
again it’s in reality fully normal and fine that Carlos wanted the win and thinking he should have won and couldn’t stop himself saying that even immediately after praising Lando !! it’s just absolutely wild the mental gymnastics to try and see it any other way
and yea I’m so happy our fandom can appreciate the reality of Oscar and Lando as drivers and not desperately try to larry it into insane rpf fantasy. like. even landoscar fic doesn’t pretend that Oscar and Lando are out on the track at any point thinking gosh I’m gonna remotely lose my competitive edge that’s been honed since I was a child bc I looooooove that guy in the other car like we all fully accept that’s not believable even in fiction ajshsbdjsbd
#this instance it’s so funny bc in reality Oscar was far more gracious and proud of Lando than Carl0s was ajsbjsbdjd#like it’s still not the case that any driver wouldn’t prefer to win but the way this person in Lando’s tag has it exactly fully wrong#it’s so funny#I’ll be insane about ships for fun and I do it w car land0 but come ON ppl omg#also not to be mean but#Oscar and Daniel made an entire post congratulating Lando and Oscar went out with him after#Carl0s did one story and went off to talk Aud¡ with Nic0#sometimes it’s better to not post things in Lando’s tag and not have to face reality ajsbjsbdjd#inchidentallyanessay#wank adjacent
