my queers in christ we must fight homogeneity in fandom; it's evil and the death of creativity and a brain killer, we do not want to be smooth uniform identical shiny rocks, reading the same characterisations over and over again, we do not want to reiterate the same takes or the same fics, we want the creepiest weirdos coming up with shit so fantastical that it becomes fantastic, that is the point of it all
#stop with the my take is THE take I'm begging you#stop with the calling beginners out on drawing shit not as close to as original as possible#stop with the calling out writers not writing their fics for you#characters become us when we see them because we see ourselves in our favourite characters#we are going to add us to things#and make them our own#and that's good!#🧎🏽♀️#fandom#stealing fox's tag#but#fandom is suffering#meow speaks

Lan Wangji goes to Lotus Pier (No relation to the AU of the same name)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#Another split type comic because I decided to be ambitious.#This flashback is currently beating my ass. There are so many timeskips within the flashback! My flow and pacing are wheezing!#I loved how this scene starts with the crowd's point of view. The observations and gossip add a lot.#And it helps reposition us to what the external perspective is on these two. Namely that 'they don't get along.'#Tensions are known! Even here in Nouveau Lotus Pier.#Ah...Lan Wangji never got a chance to see the Lotus Pier of Wei Wuxian's childhood and adolescence...did he?#It's not the same. He's not the same. Call them by the same name and people will know what you mean...#...but the first version - the one with the fond memories - is gone for good.#It's sort of interesting isn't it? How names can hold so much power and still be hollow?#We often get stuck over past versions of things. Be it ourselves or other people or places.#Change is scary but the truth is nothing ever stays the same. It's always moving. You're always moving.#It's okay to mourn the past. Maybe it's people you lost or the person you hoped to be. Let yourself feel the grief.#And then? Then you grow around that pain and keep on going. If you feel like you can't - remember you don't have to do it alone.#A side note: Listening to the tossing flowers extra is so essential for this scene. It's cute and gives us more of [redacted]#What's [redacted]? You'll see in the next comic!

they've been potentially changing a lot with the shadow manga, but since maria's final words to shadow were how she loves him and amy's conversation with shadow in the joypolis collab was about how he is loved, i like to think sonic team is still hinting at amy's ability to touch his heart lol
#shadamy#the only tag i'm brave enough to add it too lol#ik we still speculatin on if the manga is meant to be canon but i think it both is and isn't lol#if only for the handful of beats the manga has that line up with dark beginnings#like sonic team can go crazy go stupid and actually make that gyoro alien a thing in the game LOL#black doom having that big of a role with maria's death is Much™#but i've personally been reading it as both black doom and gerald fcking with shadow's memories#gerald had a lot of rage towards the humans for raiding the ark in the first place#black doom is just an asshole who wants his 'greatest creation' all for himself so he used that alien to kill maria#but gerald never knew that himself and blamed gun so he altered shadow's memories without the full context#that's how i've been thinking it's supposed to go down lol#anyway here's to hoping down the road amy will still be leading shadow down brighter paths mostly unintentionally lol#that joypolis thing showed amy wanting to stand toe to toe with sonic and shadow and may she get that focus eventually 😌😌😌#vee is arting

Agatha's quiet pleading here is killing me. Mouth agape, she shakes her head. Agatha knows why Rio (Death) is here, she feels it, yet, her disbelief is clear, and she still holds hope Rio won't do it.
But then, Rio takes a first step towards her, and then another. The next shot shows Agatha realising that Rio is going to take their/her child. The only person who has ever loved her is going to take away the little being Agatha already loves with her entire heart and soul...
It's no wonder Agatha's defences went up right after. In her eyes, from the moment Death took those steps towards her, Rio chose her job over Agatha and Nicky. From that moment on, something broke between them.
#putting their/her because this specific perspective depends on how much Agatha knows about/understands Nicky's conception#we know that Rio is Nicky's other parent#but Agatha may not be aware that creating a child was something she and Rio could do (and effectively did)#hence why she says minutes later that Nicky was 'made from scratch'#so she may believe that she created him herself#at least she could believe that in that moment#that doesn't erase the fact that Rio IS the baby daddy#but when trying to speak on Agatha's perspective of things...#this uncertainty must be considered#but honestly it's annoying how marvel's hom*ph*bic ass obliges us to live with it#it should've been made clear(er) that Rio is Nicky's parent too#though I would add that maybe in that instant where Agatha realised that Rio came to take their child#she decided Rio was not her child's parent#bc to Agatha a parent would never do that to their child#(and to the person they love)#so she tried to completely block herself from seeing Rio in that perspective#anyway#here ends the little rant#I need to go to sleep#time flies and it's 1am already#fortunately I don't have any in person classes today !#agatha all along#agatha harkness#rio vidal#nicholas scratch#nicky scratch#agathario#agatha x rio

Me, every time anyone says anything about "waiting for The One God has for you"/romantic soulmates/etc: Stop, stop, stop! Why are we implying that everyone has a soulmate when everyone does not have a soulmate? God's going to get nasty letters saying "Where's my soulmate? Why haven't I found my soulmate?" and do you want Him to have to deal with that? I don't think so! Stop spouting heresy being so silly!
#This came to me while I was eating my salad#salt and light#But seriously like the idea that there's only one person for any other person no more no less because ~God says so~ is absolute nonsense#Because *waves my hands towards everyone who's ever wanted to get married but never found someone ever*#and the “no marriage in heaven” thing because some people end up falling in love again after death parts them from their first spouse.#I would really really love to find someone and settle down in the future#but it is absolutely not guaranteed and the odds that God is just going to drop my ~one and only~ in my lap#because I could ~never be fully happy with anyone else~#is like. nil. highly implausible.#Love is a choice and and action and I won't deny that many people are incompatible with many other people#but like. there's not just one person ~Guaranteed and Divinely Intended~ for you.#That's just not how it works.#God can set the perfect guy/gal down in front of any of us and we could screw it up. This whole thing leaves no room for human agency man.#Free will* exists and I will die on that hill#*human free will is not the same thing as Divine free will and will always have some limits placed upon it by our nature as limited beings#but I don't believe our whole course was charted divinely for us at the beginning of time either (hi Arminian here)#but that's a whole other debate lol#Yeah. All that to say. We are not promised a spouse.#And that's okay.#As this coming Sunday reminds us we have something far better offered to all of us.#Trite as it may be to say... He should be what we look for.#Anything else is an add-on.#...holy cow that was a rant in the tags but I stand by it.#Starlight's Nonsense

What have you done?
based on an idea @username8746489 had where sylvie discovered nightmare fuel for the first time on accident while getting bullied by some older kids (and pushing him further into social isolation now that he's known as "that scary kid who could summon someone's worst fear")
#♦️charlie's art#epithet erased#sylvester ashling#sylvie ashling#ok i have a lot to yap about here hold on#this was a challenge to make since i was imagining it with no dialogue and limited colors i hope i pulled it off#because of those two things something i had to think a lot about was how the color progression changes the mood#I wasn't originally gonna add that last panel with the aftermath but un suggested the idea of the bullies being vague shadowy figures#initially until sylvie realizes what he did and is forced to see that “that was a real person with their own fears and insecurities”#so then they're drawn more detailed#sylvie and the bullies also aren't in the same panels together until the last one because he's just so below them that he isnt worthy of#sharing equal space with them. these kids are highschoolers. if sylvie wants to look at them he'll always have to look up#and also because i was struggling with their height difference#i hope the second page doesn't make it look too much like sylvie summoned a fire 😭 it kinda helps with the mood but what he summoned is#supposed to be ambiguous and i dont want it to look like i was born yesterday and think nightmare fuel ONLY summone fire#but its hard to make it NOT look like fire when i can only work with orange#the lineart starts out clean and gets messier as the conflict progresses to represent a lack of control#and also it creates kind of a shakey/unstable effect which emphasizes sylvie's fear#also unintentional but i think the second page having detailed shading emphasizes the mood changes. this just got SERIOUS#oh also i used the mizu5 untrained as a color reference thats fun#ALSO SYLVIE DIDN'T KILL ANYONE im just realizing the one curled up in the last panel could be interpreted that way#that's not what i was going for#this might be unrealistic...... but we also know so little about sylvie's backstory that who's to say for sure IDK LET ME MAKE MY FAV SUFFER

I don’t know what to do—I have to trust someone—I don’t know who to trust
massive, massive props to aabria for this episode (here at this point and after!!)…to all of them really, but it was about here that I was driving yesterday morning and had to frantically try to hold the image in my head for the rest of my commute. I only kind of succeeded but it is what is. wow. what an episode
#worlds beyond number#the wizard the witch and the wild one#wbn spoilers#wwwo spoilers#the wizard sky 😭😭😭😭😭#here and everything after this did in fact break me thank you!!!#as ever suvi I love you SO much#also look. I know I fucked up eursulon’s clothes but I was initially using his first art as a reference bc it shows him fullbodied in his#spirit form which is what I needed but I got too deep in the drawing before remembering he had a clothing change so………..I half did it#ALSO I meant to include the fox in this if not ame but by the time I remembered that intent I was done rendering and like hell was I going#to go back and add in two more characters#so here we are#god#ignore that it’s nearly 5 I work stupid hours lately#my things

Dr. Ratio in Amphoreus at home:

I'm not sure exactly, but I think this guy is Nikador's Reason he discarded before going crazy, so it makes sense for him to talk about "eradicating foolishness" and "teaching lessons." But where did the last part come from? Why is it so similar to Ratio's "It is only in moments of solitude and despair, when help is absent, that fools grasp how to pick themselves up"?
Even if Dr. Ratio turns out to be from Amphoreus, I doubt he would have anything to do with Nikador.
And uplifting ordinary humans through strife is not exactly what I expected from Nikador. Although it makes sense for pre-madness Nikador, I guess?
Upd. Btw Gnaeus is a Latin name so Ratio wouldn't be out of place there either. Not all names there are Greek.
#my stuff#honkai star rail#dr ratio#hsr spoilers#hsr 3.0#hsr 3.0 spoilers#my tinfoil hat conspiracy theory for today is that they are mocking us#they know that there is a theory about ratio being from apmhoreus#and that there is a small but dedicated group of fans who would be really glad to see him there#and if they are not going to add him in this story#it would make sense to kind of throw a bone to these people#to stir up our interest in the story#thus the 'abnormally appearing' dr ratio#and all the tiny details that kind of remind of him#if you are inclined to see things this way#I mean how many 'ratios at home' we have already?#this guy#that mob with laurel undies and a stone slab#some npcs#especially the blue-haired ones

Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso Seasons 1-3 » T-shirts
#Ted Lasso#Theodore Lasso#Jason Sudeikis#*mine: gif#tedlassoedit#ugh you idiot with that face#stop staring at me swan#I think I got all the T-shirt moments for Ted. Can you guess the two scenes I forgot and had to go back and add???#I've also kept these in order of season/episode appearance and it feels kind of telling#not quite sure how I'm feeling about these and how they turned out#these are all from 2160p video files (I've only worked with 2160 one other time) and the timing of these frames looks off#I did my best to fix and readjust them#to the 5 to 8 people that read these tags let me know if I should keep trying/working with 2160p or just stick with 1080p#can we see a major difference in the image quality? I'm using all my same edit settings here#@chainofclovers I saw your tags about the black Joe Arthur shirt I was/have been thinking the same thing#I'm glad I got my o.g. laptop to power up to finish this gifset (definitely a power button issue)#will I ever make that mirror gifset idea??? probably not but I got a couple of mirror moments here#I almost used the other mirror moment from episode 7 but I wanted a different angle/view#this gifset could've been a lot more of Ted in bed wearing T-shirts tbh#¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think other people use “I love ___” casually but many times recently I have found myself saying it and lurking behind it are emotions and obsession I am unable to put into words and so those three must suffice. My heart yearns to gush but alas my brain is not wired towards talking very much
#yes this is about me saying ‘i love ships’ to my two roommates on the ferry (we do not know each other and they are not the type to understa#nd this) and then spending 3 unbroken hours gazing out the window at the sea as they went to go play mao#and that one time a while ago where we got assigned pirates as a theme for a song and dance production thing and one of the songs was from#potc and I had to just say ‘i love potc’ bc no one there had the interest to hear me gush about it for the next week#damn these are both examples of me loving the sea#I love the ocean#category 7 loveless moment#I do still use it casually which probably adds to it feeling lacking at times#star rambles#linguistics#neurodivergent

I would like to officially welcome Eustace Winner to the "My Name Is A Cruel Joke My Paternal Figure Played On Me" club
[Image Description: A digital drawing of Eustace Winner from Ace Attorney and Hunter from The Owl House in a handshake, against a purple background. Both are looking towards the camera as if they are taking a picture and both have a look of concern on their faces. Eustace’s expression is significantly more distressed than Hunter’s. End Description]

i must admit that when i first heard of the blue and yellow theory i thought it was kind of too much, and, as you might’ve guessed, delusional. i was one of the twitter bylers who thought they were so sane, superior to and hated tumblr bylers. and yet here we are.
blue and yellow gate (or colorgate, whatever) started to make sense to me when i watched a few other shows with CANON mlm ships that used the same colors/theme. it made me think of byler but then i was like it’s probably just a coincidence, right? and then s4 came out.
i’m sure most if not all of you have already seen several posts and proofs of why and how blue and yellow is associated with mike and will but i’m inserting some photos here just to prove my point
starting with their outfits, of course:





the fuckass lighting:
and their rooms:
what exactly does this prove? nothing new, i know. i mainly just added these images for reference
now onto the main point of this post. i mentioned seeing tv shows with mlm ships using blue and yellow, right? well here they are.
starting with heartstopper:


young royals (haven't watched this one but i wanted to include):


2gether the series (thai bl):


hello stranger (filipino bl; haven't watched this one as well)


again, what does this prove? nothing i just wasted your precious time thank you.
no but all i'm saying is that the duffers / st writers doing this whole blue and yellow thing and heavily associating these very specific colors with byler so much that it's too fucking obvious along with other mlm shows can't be a coincidence. there's definitely some sort of discussion between the writers of these shows and why they agreed upon the usage of blue and yellow as the theme of mlm couples. i don't know what those discussions are but it's there!!!!
i can't explain it but this alone already serves as byler proof for me. no need to include that whole blue meets yellow in the west jazz, even though that's the whole point of colorgate lmfao
#did i get up and booted up my computer at 1 am just to be able to put over 10 photos in one post? yes#again does this prove anything? no i just felt like going on a yap session#i'm sure there's other shows/movies using blue and yellow for canon mlm ships too but these are all i can think of#feel free to add more!#will byers#mike wheeler#byler#byler endgame#stranger things#heartstopper#nick and charlie#young royals#wilmon#2gether the series#sarawattine#hello stranger#thai bl#first long post and it's just me yapping like are we surprised

google "how to write a character who is known within her universe for having no filter and swearing a lot (especially in the face of authority) without having it read like i graduated from vivziepop school of writing"
#this is why we have to abide by the “3 fucks per character” rule#octavia gets 3 “fuck”s 3 “shit”s and 3 “bitch”s per chapter with unlimited low level swars eg crap and damn#this is good actually cuz it makes me think of where itd be the funniest/most effective to add swears so they dont lose their bite#also if you are going to write a story where swears are used i feel like you should have at least one character with a sqeaky clean mouth#and maybe let them swear like. twice through the entire thing#(for RAA this is onion and vivica)#(vivica is only allowed to use ye olde swears such as “blast” and “great heavens” and “jesus mary joseph”)

Just remembered that Will sat on the icebox in the van for the 30 hr ride back to Hawkins

#byler#stranger things#that willelmike dynamic in the van after the monologue needs to be studied under a microscope#like why couldn’t we see the aftermath of his monologue???#what happened??#when will sat on the icebox did el and mike look confused??#did they offer to leave room for him to sit there but he declined politely like no that’s okay…#followed by the next 30 hrs of awkward#I know the vibes were OFF#that’s the reason they only let us be confronted with them by the time they arrived in Hawkins#they needed to shift the mood to confusion about Hawkins’ state#bc they could not reveal what the vibes were like before that#no but the prospects of el hugging all of them after saving max#and it’s like emotional and they’re all so relieved she’s alive#but then shortly after that when they’re planning going back to Hawkins#she’s distant again#maybe it’s with everyone so they just brush it off as her needing time to process everything#but it’s still suspicious because…#why are things with her and mike still feeling very off#and then that’s when they’re getting into the van and then will just adds to the awkwardness even more by sitting on the icebox 😭#I also noticed 2 pillows on the backseat so it’s likely that’s where byler slept in s4 during their shenanigans#so I’m guessing that where el and mike slept while Will slept on the floor 😭#no but seriously they could not show any of that without giving it all away#the angst and heartbreak and confusion and regret would have been so loud 😅
