Yup I gotta turn off my phone because the temptation to read the script is too damn much for me. I am weak. For literary studies. In any form.
#ah shit I’ve gotta focus I’m shifting into stranger things mode#usually I’m better than this#but then I read that the duffers use funky punctuation and em dashes liberally#and change wording in sentences to convey meaning#and I’m struggling#and I literally am going to turn off my phone now#because otherwise I’m gonna fail a whole class#auuuughhhhhhhhhHHHHHH

“He was— He was my ‘buttercup’,” she sobbed out, and his hand gripped her far shoulder, “And I— I never even— I never got to tell him how much he m-meant to me— not even th-the stupid sun thing—”
“Oh… Marinette…” he whispered, his nose brushing against her hair, “The sun thing wasn’t stupid.”

Halloween party! 🎃👻🖤
#buddy daddies#kurusuwa family#at first I thought ‘wouldn’t it be funny if Kazuki had to be Princess Peach because Miri insisted?’#and like he was gonna be all pouty about it#but then I thought no. he’d TOTALLY be into it#so here we are!#Miri lost her mustache. Rei thought it was too itchy and ripped it off after like five minutes#(I just didn’t feel like drawing the mustaches 🫣)#also I definitely had to flip the canvas after I drew everything#because I remembered Rei probably couldn’t hold Miri with his right arm 🙃#also I feel like I did Kazuki’s hair much better than usual!#ALSO. I downloaded a bunch of new brushes and pens before drawing this#so I used a different pen for line work this time. annndd I’m not a fan#but I DID like the new brushes I used for shading!#they’re more painterly and messy but I like it 👍🏻#kazurei#reikazu#kazuki kurusu#rei suwa#miri unasaka#kurusu kazuki#suwa rei#unasaka miri#karlyboy art#kazurei fanart#buddy daddies fanart

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.]
#i’m trying a new sketching style that I’m really happy with#it turns out sketching with a really shitty paint brush forces the perfectionist part of my brain to switch off#and i think the results are really fun#they’re a lot more free-form and sketchy than i can usually get#if i were sketching with a pencil i’d be constantly erasing trying to get it perfect and then completely give up#but with paint it all feels better#this is probably something real artists already know#i’m sure i’m late to the party#but i’m still excited to see what else i can make in this style#mcr#my chemical romance#gerard way#mcr fanart#gerard way fanart#mcr brisbane#(i think)#my art

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
#for those curious why this looks different from my previous human drawings:#this is actually closer to my usual style of drawing people!#last time I just didn’t use reference and was focusing more on character design and ideas than accuracy and anatomy#I have a better idea in mind for how I’m drawing some hermits now though. so expect some more fanart to come!#spoilers: gem + the buttercups#locus art time#mcyt#hermitcraft#fanart#hermitcraft fanart#hermitblr#hypnotizd#hypnotizd fanart#art#digital art#coloured sketch#illustration#artists on tumblr#human art

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.
#sketchbook#birds#wings#blue Jay#Baltimore oriole#favorite colors seasons trees etc all checked!#I had some wholesome moments with my parents when we went looking for orioles around my birthday this year#we found several so I’m giving them more positive associations#also they’re orange and beautiful what’s not to love?#green ash as a sad tribute to an icon I’ve resonated with since I was very young#red oak because blue jays and your stereotypical symbol of strength and perseverance#always loved the intelligence and beauty of blue jays I think they may have been my spark bird at a very young age#a messy sketch but it’s better than a whole lot of nothing#y’all I don’t even know where to begin with which bugs and where!#im getting ahead of myself#as usual!

@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?
#rambling#insects#bugs#praying mantis#mantis#carolina mantis#they’re doing much better than they were#I’m confident they’ll make it to the next molt#really my only worry is whether they’ll be able to successfully complete it with the unusual shape they have#just have to wait and see when the time comes#overall I’d say it’s kinda just business as usual for them: eating bugs and hanging out watching the world below#and getting watered by accident sometimes#the worst that’s happened since the mismolt was being aggressively accosted by a Texas ironclad beetle#which is to say it had climbed onto the lid and slowly meandered up to them#and they responded by trying to smack it away only to end up falling themselves#the beetle was of course unfazed and continued on its way before climbing back down on the other side#life for the cow bugs is slow and simple…

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
#this was longer than I intended it to be#It is true to my core that for better or worse I am unnecessarily verbose#usually because I’m afraid people will misinterpret my meaning and usually in uncharitable ways if I don’t use the extra words to clarify#arknights

in my head i always liked to believe i’d never fall for lovebombing, and i’ve also never really been one for romance, but damn…
“know only this, mon cher, you are the only being i trust and whom i love, above and beyond myself.
all my love belongs to you.
you are its keeper.
a veil will now forever separate our union. but it is a thin veil… and I am always on the other side, my face pressed up against your longing.”
i can not even begin to explain how fast i’d fold if someone ever said something like that to me.
i mean damn i was folding and this was happening between two fake people in a fake world.
and him having louis’ initials on the inside of his little pocket right where his heart is… poetry.
so yes louis, one might fault you for sticking by lestat but my girl, if this is the way he always speaks to you, then i get it.
#interview with the vampire season2#interview with the vampire s2#amc interview with the vampire#interview with the vampire#iwtv show#iwtv#amc iwtv#iwtv season 2#iwtv s2#iwtv lestat#lestat de lioncourt#louis de pointe du lac#iwtv louis#loustat#it’s not that i think i’m in any way better than people who fall victim to lovebombing#i just get the ick really easily so when people pull stuff like this i usually just cringe and move on#but this#this is something different#may or may not have shed a tear during this scene#not saying i did but not saying i didn’t#sam reid you wizard#making me fall for a blond french man with blue eyes

“Smile like Gonta! Smile like gentleman!”
It’s 23rd of January both where I am, and also in Japan, so here we go, my small and long overdue tribute for my fav character ever! Or in other words, f that post and happy birthday to the King! :D
#gonta gokuhara#gokuhara gonta#danganronpa#v3#ndrv3#my art#now I go to sleep - I pushed myself to finish this drawing and I'm legit exhausted#wish I could have more time to do tweaks here and ther but... still I'm happy I managed to do it!#But honestly I’m happy I’ve got to play V3 when I did and legit glad I stumbled upon Gonta#I could write a book about him but then I'm also afraid no matter what I'll say I will never do him justice#he's interesting in nonconventional way and not the type of character I usually end up liking - and tbh that only adds to my appreciation#but then I'm better with drawings than words. so :)#also#pregame Gonta is smiling on the inside he just shy grump don't mind him#(or maybe he's like 'you have ONE second to run' idk)#also also#yes this is a little play on the line Gonta says during Himiko's dojo scene :D

“Excellent! This one possesses the qualities to be the perfect test subject!” ~Fandaniel
#ffxiv gpose#ffxiv endwalker#fandaniel#female lalafell#hali aloke#oc: drops of jupiter#cw: kidnapping#cw: abduction#so this is way more angsty than I usually do#but I thought it would be that much scarier if Hali was awake before the whole body swap thing for the ‘in from the cold’ scenes#this was interesting to do since my gposes are usually pretty or romantic in some way#so doing something scary was different for me and I think I’m getting better at gposing
