#isat siffrin #isat #orangetriestoart #i played the game for a whole weekend in the beginning of july and i havent stopped thinking about it since god its so gOOD #currently in the process of trying to get all of the achievements and taking emotional damage every time i get a new memory #i wanna make a full piece thing for it but i gotta learn how to use grayscale better ive been studying from the game screenshots #cause like all the art in the game is so cool and expressive and really really good at using limited values like mad respect #but for now slight color until i can figure out how to break up values better yipepeeeeeeee #anywasy gnightttt tumbly have a good one if ur reading this :D

Studies I drew while referencing Will Nichols' expression sheets to figure out my storyboard shorthand for the adult Nublar 6 designs on Jurassic World Chaos Theory.

My shorthand wound up evolving, but it's still interesting to see where I started.

Check out the original expression sheets here-- they're fantastic!

Mental Health Tip! Don't skip meals lest you be fighting demons

#Big Hero 6 #BH6 #Hiro Hamada #au stuff #uhhhh #cw existential dread #I guess? Not really the exact emotion expressed in this specific instance but it is the overall issue #something something Hiro survivors guilt he keeps avoiding because that's a whole nastier can of worms than standard grief #“I'm moving on from Tadashi's death so I'm almost good!” he says meanwhile the EVERYTHING ELSE is still waiting to be unpacked #Cus like fun fact about grief caused by loss bet money that grief is not going to be the only thing you gotta work on healing #humans brains are really funky about death especially when it happens spontaneously when you least expect it #Anyway reminder that self care and mental health is not linear there are days you think you're good and then you Find Out #but that's okay #so yeah this was supposed to be a quick warm up doodle for another drawing but I ended up messing around with it and now its a thing #I did find a new way of sketching I think I like so we'll see how it goes #been busting out the solid 3px pen I used to used back in 2018 when I started drawing art for the series that's been fun #god bless tags man great for yappers

the thing is. juno & nureyev's relationship has been such a major guiding thread throughout the podcast and the major drive of season 5, and the fandom has built itself so much (as fandoms often do) around shipping the two of them.

and yet nureyev doesn't show up at all in the last episode! or, he does, but it's only implied (for all we know it could be like. alessandra strong)(i know it's not but it would be really funny) and we don't hear his voice.

and it's so important to me that despite the room that their romance has taken in the plot and in our hearts, his absence reinforces that the point of juno steel's story wasn't a lady getting his man, it was about learning to grow as person for himself and for his friends (and not just his love interest), and it was about finding his footing in life and being at peace with himself and his place in the world. and he did! his growth and relative serenity is so apparent and just. a balm to the soul

and the fact that his man is back is just a nice add-on, not a necessity for his happiness

#juno steel #my aro ass has been sitting still and staring at a wall thinking about this ever since listening to this episode #mannnn i'm just. so completely floored about how good this finale was #juno's been all over the place and his growth has been up and down throughout but like.#it's so nice to hear just how. serene he was this episode #he's doing alright guysss #juno steel is fine #he's accepting affection and expressing it back #i Will be reading massive amounts of fanfiction about juno and nureyev'#s reunion when it comes out but i am super happy it wasn't a part of the episode #i was a bit bummed out for sure cos like. hearing his voice is always a good time #but there's a different between what i kinda want to hear and what i actually want out of the episode #and i got allll i wanted outta this one #also i'm super into urban planning (starting a masters in urban governance in september hihi) so the new town description had me 😈 meow #🤌🤌#juno steel spoilers #tpp #tpp spoilers #the penumbra podcast #i am soo excited to find out which mildly unpleasant to outwardly despicable characters the writers will make us love next as they grow #mannnn now im thinking about caroline again #back to staring at a wall bye

day two of "just a quick sketch and i'll do my assignments" (this took me 2h 45min so far)

photo reference: Bej48 - Hu XiaoHui & Qing Yuwen

#my art #let me introduce you to my new blorbos: coco and agott (agathe?) from witch hat atelier #did i mention i have no self control #(actually i just got so stressed over hw for no reason that i couldn't concentrate on studying and decided to rest instead)#also i thought that i don't really care about the paper quality when i'm using a graphite pencil... but i was a fool #the sketchbook paper is so smooth... way better than the office paper i usually use #i still haven't decided what face expression agott should make but i better do that before i make a hole in the paper #coco wha #agott arkrome #arkco #witch hat atelier #wha #tongari boushi no atelier

Listen, I am an extremely sex positive person and there is little I like more than a good old fashioned "idiots fuck around and fall in love" smut fic, but I feel like there just isn't enough exploration of Astarion falling in love through feeding on Tav. Like, seriously, the man has been subsisting on rats and insects for two hundred years, and the first person he ever feeds on just...lets him do it? Willingly? I mean it's not exactly a surprise that Tav has to practically throw him off to get him to stop - it's not just that their blood is the best meal he's ever had, but he's never bitten anything with the intent to let it live before.

And then it has to go off the rails so fast for him if Tav lets him do it again. This man who has had everything stripped from him for so long now having this person who's willing to actually give him part of themselves to keep him fed and happy. Like, he outright tells you this is a gift you're giving him, one he surely did not expect to ever receive again, but now he's watching them stagger off to the healers in the morning for a lesser restoration before they even bother to stop at the fire for a cup of coffee, and all he can do is marvel at the sheer novelty of the situation, because to examine it closer, to really think about someone being selfless enough to give him what he needs for no other reason than that he needs it might send him into a spiral of paranoia.

And then for that to become habit. Coming to their bedroll as quietly as he can, learning to gentle his bite to something less feral, something more easily controlled. It's slower this way, careful and measured to make sure they don't wake, and he's sinking a little more into that embrace every night.

#i am having a hell of a time putting thoughts into words tonight #so I may have to finish this thought later #but gah!#it's about the INTIMACY #it's about giving him a physical expression of closeness that is new and unexplored and untainted by his trauma!#it's frankly about neck biting and love as consumption but still!#bg3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #just juicebox things #anyway get the cleric hireling for free lesser restoration so you don't use your party's spell slots to top up your tav in the morning #astarion needs his sippies

i think the craziest part of ice ado cancellation to me is like. i remember checking the yoi tag last year and was disappointed by just. the absolute flood of "i lost my passion for this show my inner yoi fan is going into hibernation until ice ado comes out" type posts, but just kinda shrugged and went on because hey, i kinda moved on to different fandoms too.

but than the cancellation news dropped and i check the tag and yeah. there's a lot of people expressing their disappointment and anger with mappa, but there's also so much new art, new posts of people expressing their love for the show and what we were so fortunate to have been given despite everything and i just.

can we promise to keep this fandom alive? to survive just like we did back in 2017-2019 when there was nothing new but the occasional official promo art or a stage play or even skygem's retirement au? older fandoms than us have survived for longer with their newest canon content being decades ago, surely we can all have fun rediscovering and continuing our love for this wonderful story of rediscovering and reinventing what the word love means, whether on the ice or off it.

#yuri on ice #maige's posts #wanted to make a somewhat more positive post for the tag #like yeah im mourning and angry. but that grief and anger comes from the genuine love i have for this anime #for the show who gave hope to a deeply closeted and uncertain 11yo me and for the show thats suddenly so much more relatable now to me #as a finally openly queer person whose abt to enter their 20's and try to discover what i want out of #love and life. i hold this show and its characters so so deeply in my heart and im using this news as an opportunity to finally express tha
