Cdream be like: You can't put yourself in the Prison anymore bc of the woke >:(/lh

That man is a mess like it's facinating how messy his vision of reality is for others and himself

it is fascinating fr, and does remind me of how we'd talk a little bit about how his perspective may betray what kind of environment this guy might've been in pre-dsmp. the stick-up-his-ass about rules and rule-following, the neuroticism about conflict, and the ease with which he jumps to punishment as being the appropriate response to people who cause problems (a perspective that, quite evidently, to a certain extent, does apply to himself, doesn't it?) all seems quite indicative of someone who lived in an environment where punishment being the natural consequence of stepping outside the lines was generally something that went unquestioned. of course, this is speculative, and it's not that a #tragicbackstory is necessary to explain what the fuck is up with c!Dream, and it's hardly about justifying the choice to abuse a teenager into behaving, lmao. but while exile served his goals and exile was a lot of petty, spiteful cruelty for petty, spiteful reasons, i do think there's something to be said about how clearly c!Dream hadn't expected c!Tommy to respond quite so severely to exile and how he thought he would be "fine" with potatoes in the prison and the language he used both about exile and his own early prison stay about shit like "getting better" through punishment. of course, punitive justice as a norm is kind of ingrained in our own society (just look at the rhetoric around deserving in this fandom, lmao, which speaks more than well enough for itself) and of course that reflects onto the dream smp as well, considering how many of the characters talk quite freely about the idea of punishment/deserving/what have you, but few characters are quite as obviously a stickler for rule-following as c!dream and exile and then prison are uhhh definitely on the more extreme end of things. anyway. just some food for thought

Lads, Ada obvs didn’t pull the trigger cause she was already figuring out the #tragicbackstory she could tell Leon and when to strategically let a tear fall, thus triggering his hero complex. The dumbass would say something like “that doesn’t have to be your life anymore” and then she’d fuck him and make off in the night with the sample. Save a bullet, ride a rookie.

But then Annette said no <3

what the fuck does this even mean

Arthur A character in a story I'm writing. You can read his backstory under the cut

Drawn for Drawlloween 2020 Find me elsewhere

Here’s the werewolf I drew for day one’s prompt using Mabs Drawlloween Club list in 2020.

I decided to draw a character from a story I've been working on for a while. This is Arthur, an old werewolf who lost his family long ago to hunters. In this drawing Arthur is mid-transformation, and you could be forgiven for thinking perhaps his expression is one of pain from the transformation, but look closer. I’m sure you noticed the photo in his wallet. Even after all this time, transforming brings back the painful memories of the night hunters took his family from him, and wrought with grief, he weeps over the memory of his lost child.

If you would like to know more of his #TragicBackstory I do have more written on my over on my Patreon. Someday I’d like to narrate his story on my channel (where you can see the speedpaint process of this piece, plus a bit more of his story, in the same video, if you’re interested lol) but for now all that stuff is over on Patreon until I finish his story.

I'm not familiar with Breaking Benjamin or Three Days Grace's TragicBackstories, but most of the angst in Linkin Park and Evanescence's music stem from straight up abuse.

I don't know if you understand this, but this line hits me hard due to my #TragicBackstory:

"Oh, seventeen

Never felt like a princess

I used to kid myself in this dress

That this was just how things were meant to be

Seventeen"

I think I do but. *Gentle head kiss*

Linework from another paladin commission from last year! This one's a sad boy 😥

[ask-spiderpans]

You mentioned that your grandmother used her powers as a part of her home and business-- what specifically inspired you to go the hero route when it came to using your powers?

Someone that I thought cared about me chose to become a vessel and hurt a lot of people. That’s all I wanna talk about right now.  I kind of had to learn to let go of toxic people the hardest way possible lol

Once again Instagram doesn’t like my long Comic pages so they’ve been split into two. After a four hour introduction session where I got to become attached to my family, going on adventures together, my DM/Husband decided to kill them off. #tragicbackstory #dnd #dnd5e #Avarial #wings #characterart #comicart #elf #sketch #comic https://www.instagram.com/p/B_DioEUldV6/?igshid=jd2hy6ybwqrv

Critical Role sadness😭 Whyyyyyyyy??? 😢😢 (Yes I know I’m a little late on this but I’m still sad as heck 😭)

tragicbackstory replied to your post: there’s that one authority comic with gorgeous art...

The one with pretty art with the stupid ass romantic drama plot where Angie and Midnighter start cheating with this one dude for no reason is called Human on the Inside or something. I’ve gone through it a few times just because it has pretty art, but everything is so out of character that it pisses me off.

I mean yeah shit Angie what the fuck, Jack was literally watching all that with a smashed up spine??? Sure she was mad at him but who does that? And Midnighter didn’t even cheat, they sparred and then that dude kissed him and he immediately went to confess to Apollo.... Was that necessary? 

There was a different arc where Midnighter was tricked into kissing someone else without realizing and Apollo’s immediate reaction there was to get angry at the other guy? Why would you get mad at your husband who you’ve known literally since the moment your memory starts for saying “hey so that new guy? he kissed me :(” after saying that there’s nothing he could do to piss you off???? wh?? is it ok cause Midnighter is a big buff dude or what?

Maaaaaaan listen... Lol...

I like making characters I'll probably never get a chance to use, this one is based off a D&D session I ran with my brother and a friend, just a simple goblin burrow raid... Till my friend decided to kill all the goblin females and children by burning them and eldritch blasting them into oblivion. One goblin out of the whole burrow managed to escaped on 1Hp after an eldritch blast to the back and be came this green boy here #dungeonsanddragons #tragicbackstory #character #goblin #inking #traditionalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjJHOIjB86/?igshid=159bze4rbwys2

Everly Marshall, a sardonic, embittered ghost tethered to the wreckage of a ship belonging to her unfaithful ex- lover. When it comes to life and love she has seen it all, and shares her cutting opinions in her regular stand up comedy routine at the Vampyr Café! Everly is one of three characters designed by me and conceptualised by @totointow for @thecomicjam Character Month challenge. She was a lot of fun to work on and I'll share the other two Vampyr Café performers soon! #ghost #oc #characterdesign #characterconcept #supernatural #vengefulspirit #thecomicjam #collaboration #tragicbackstory #humour #charactermonth #illustrations #comicartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFv48Thh9V/?igshid=1c8fp18kosbvc
