#usually I’m better than this

[pixlokita]

I was crying from pain at the emergency room and the nurses were bitching about me not dying so they couldn’t help right away even if I kept passing out and had been there for a long time, this sweet old Russian lady who was also admitted since earlier stood up and walked next to me and kept comforting me and asking how I was holding up, she kept checking in on me and being so sweet and going around asking if everyone was doing ok or just distracting family members of patients with nice conversations. She called out the doctors and nurses for not caring, she sat next to me and kept making sure I was ok and then gave me her phone number when she got discharged so I’d follow up with her. Honestly my day coulda been hell today but this one lady made it so bearable it’s not going to be remembered as a bad horrible traumatizing time, I got to meet an actual angel and I’m so happy about it.

My thoughts on Sanji’s Clear Clear Fruit thing in Thriller Bark: I don’t think it’s written to be 100% comedy but I also don’t completely buy the headcanons about it being related to his childhood. What I think the scene conveys is that Sanji constantly lowers himself to the level of the people he hates. This isn’t a guy who thinks he’s a worthy, valuable, or even “good” person. He tells Absalom that they’re “the same”, he’s just another pervert like any man in the world. But that scene is so ironic because Sanji’s actions prove completely otherwise. People always complain about what he says, but what about what he does? He protects Nami, puts her at first priority, and felt like even the act of dirtying her dress would be the greatest sin. On first glance Sanji vs Absalom is set up to be some sort of funny perv vs perv fight, like “haha, there’s a right way and a wrong way to be horny!” But up till this point, Sanji’s fights have always contained brief and restrained glances into his kindness and selflessness. He will show his enemy a glimpse of his kindness. Then, as if he’s caught himself lacking, instantly do a 180 and close himself up. Think the time he “forgave” Bon Clay then immediately kicking him. Think how he “believed” Jabra’s manipulation (which idk if it’s anime filler or not!). Think even about that time after Baratie when he was about to feed the sea king who attacked them, then decided to beat it up instead. Of course, these also serve as prime comedic moments. But Oda expertly merges his gags with actual thematic messages in ways that make you laugh and then feel a bit uncomfortable after thinking more about it (He does this to Sanji the most btw). Sanji is kind, but he’s afraid of being seen as kind. He needs to act like his love for Nami and Robin stems from perversion instead of genuine respect and adoration. He needs to act like his sacrifice for Zoro was a dick-measuring attempt. If you ask me I don’t think WCI was planned out at this point in the manga, but Oda was definitely hinting at the fact that there was something more to Sanji than his Baratie story.

Tiny Gerard for your dash

[ID: a painted sketch of Gerard Way done in blue acrylic paint on white paper. It shows Gerard looking slightly mournful as they sing into a microphone. They are wearing long black leather gloves, a white blouse, and a black tie. End ID.]

Nice to see Hypno getting more attention lately! Coloured sketch of him because I wanted to iron some things out from last time I drew him and pick better colours lol

[gen4grl]

wahhhh finally got my hands on blues beautiful figure … the trio is finally together again!!!

[pallanophblargh]

I’m gonna have to accept my brain may always be soup at this point. But it beats feeling tortured all the time?

Anyway, pointless tattoo plotting. For myself. I don’t think it’s wise to consider what is basically an upper arm sleeve for my first, but it’s fantasy land if it’s just in the sketchbook and honestly? Anything to kick at the art block.

It’s all birds: blue Jay and Baltimore oriole, with fresh spring green ash leaves and an autumnal red oak. And maybe a hexagon in there somewhere, I can’t sort that out.

Anyway, this would encapsulate a lot of my favorite things in one go. All that’s missing is bugs! And a loon and pines, but that’s going on the other arm!

Maybe it’s futile to say this, but this humble scribble is for my use only.

It was a critical hit. (Why yes, I do play Kingdom Hearts.)

@onenicebugperday Bit of an unfortunate update, but not without hope.

A week ago as of posting this, Green Bean Casserole had a pretty severe mismolt. I think they fell and got stuck behind their favorite stick in an awkward position after leaving the exuviae. I only found and assisted them the next morning, but by then their exoskeleton had already hardened up. Thankfully all of their limbs are intact and functional, but, well... The situation is far from ideal, as you’ll see.

At first I was pretty worried they wouldn’t make it; they seemed to be struggling to move around due to the deformity, falling when climbing and generally looking wobbly. I moved them to a different terrarium set up for my flat headed snake Absinthe, both because of the softer substrate and the lack of skinks that might be bold and attempt to take advantage of a weakened mantis. I wasn’t even sure if food would be able to pass through their system, and they had no interest in prey at all, which wasn’t a good sign. However, with some adjustments to the layout of the temporary terrarium I moved them to, they did climb and manage to hang from the lid with some effort. GBC seemed like they were a fighter, and the day after the bad molt they accepted and ate a grasshopper, so I decided to see if I could get them to their next molt and hopefully allow them to recover.

They’ve since adapted to their new shape, and I’ve moved them back to their usual terrarium for easier monitoring and better sun access. They’re climbing and hanging without falling, eating well, and drinking water droplets from the screen lid when I water the terrarium. I’d say they’re about as close to thriving as they could be in this situation! Here’s how they’re looking today. Ignore the escapee grasshopper in the background, its jailbreak was short lived…

I do feel a bit mean for making this comparison, but…

There’s a bit of a resemblance, isn’t there?

The aforementioned Forgotten Land cutscene redraw, which I ended up overpainting (for the first time in over three years) to make it all nice since I’m using it as my desktop background!

[mushroominaforest]

I’d just like to say I think ur very cool mushroom. you seem like you’re going through a lot of things a lot of the time, and I think you deserve to have things at least a little easier. your art is wonderful and it makes me very happy to see you on my dash. hope you’re doing alright. <3

Cries. Thank you <3<3<3<3

I have no idea what Arkknights is

And at this point im afraid to ask

Girls be called shit like Asbestos, Gravel, Mud and Debris

They eat rocks???

Gatorpeople???

Working in difficult terrain? I dunno

But i know the lesbians go crazy over it

I can clarify this (well, clarify again, I get this question occasionally).

Arknights people aren’t actually named asbestos, gravel, mudrock, cement, rockrock or any of that other stuff. Those are operator code names. A lot of the characters we don’t know their actual names, and since they go by their code names in the game anyway that’s just how people refer to them. All of them choose their code names (except arguably Pudding) so they frequently choose things significant or symbolic of who they are. Asbestos is a fireproof salamander who is a toxic jerk and has cancer so it was a very fitting name. Cement is a construction worker. Rockrock’s name is Rochelle Rockwell. There’s a lot of different reasons but ultimately those aren’t their actual names, but they are effectively their names.

They don’t actually eat rocks. As a gameplay mechanic, characters require resources in order to be promoted and become more powerful in game. However the resources they require for upgrades are kind of strange things like weird metals, cubes of rock, devices, a non alcoholic chemical that apparently gets you effectively drunk if you ingest it, and a bunch of other stuff. Tomimi, the alligator girl who is known for having an extremely fat tail despite her being a fairly short and small person, requires concentrated orirocks that require well over 100 orirock cubes to craft in order for her promotion. So I make dumb jokes that she was eating the cubes and that’s why her tail is fat

Gatorpeople? Yep! Almost all the characters in Arknights are like the type of catgirls that are human but have cat ears and a tail, but for a bunch of different types of animals. There are a few that are anthropomorphic animals and then there’s the people who are demons, vampires, elves (very rare. There’s only one), and characters based on mythical creatures like manticores, nues, all kinds of dragons, etc. there’s also some robots, not robot girls, just robots, they’re mostly rectangular and on wheels. And then there’s weird crossover characters like a stack of the cats from monster hunter, but those aren’t really canon anyway.

I don’t actually know what you’re specifically referencing by the difficult terrain thing but the world of Arknights is full of large scale catastrophes that require most cities to be on enormous moving platforms so they can avoid catastrophes. The world is also full of many hazards. I don’t know what else you might mean so I can’t help more with that

Yes the lesbians go crazy for it. ~80% of the characters are women who are often written to be competent and powerful and actually the focus of the stories. A lot of them are at implied ranging from slight hints to extremely blunt and obvious by their behavior to be lesbians. The story and setting are interesting, the characters have cool designs and interesting personalities and narratives, and a lot of them are gay women, and especially with the kenomimi-style animal girls, it’s not particularly surprising that other people like me get so obsessed with them.

Funnily enough, I think there’s still only 2 “canonical” lesbian operators if you take the extremely blunt stance of ignoring everything that doesn’t outright explicitly involve them professing their love or being in an explicit relationship with a woman. But you’d have to be intentionally obtuse to actually think those are the only ones given how a lot of the women act
