I came here for the silly haha doodles, but I've stayed for the absolutely blazing commentary in the tags. Your analysis of this story is so so so good! Thanks for all the work and thought you put into this!
I am just a silly little comics blog. I am not hiding anything in the tags, no way. Never.
#ask#digital art#I truly am grateful for the amount of people that not only read my journal-essay-thoughts on my comics#but also take the time to respond and/or write their own thoughts on the themes and scenes.#I really love taking apart stories and seeing how the threads weave together. Like flipping over an embroidered tapestry!#Some people thinks it ruins the illusion of what a story is - to me it *elevates* the experience to see the seams.#It's like knowing how they did the practical effects and stunts in a movie. It give you a deeper appreciation for the work that went into i#Thank you for acknowledging the work I put into every part of this project!#When I started drawing I....well...wasn't really the strongest with my visuals.#Humorously recapping scenes played off of my strengths (silly billying) and also just made the project *fun*.#But right from the start I also wanted to take my time and marinate on the themes and journal my thoughts.#I never really expected people to read them!#What might seem like a quick comic takes me several hours and I often spend a good bit of time with my tag essays too.#I owe so much to everyone who's dropped by to cheer me on and make this blog into part of the community.#to those who just lurk or drop by once in a blue moon - I thank you as well for coming along for the journey.#So even though it adds extra time; these little essays are a treat for you B*)

#okay yeah yeah everyone already knows why i draw them together so ofter#but you know what's funny. that it's not possible#it was never planned to be in the story; for many reasons it will never be in the story#it just kinda appeared on it's own when they started interacting#i also would like to address a person who wrote me an ask (which i will answer later. i reblogged the ask game and realized I'm too tired)#“pauk and the wanderer 26”#“How would these characters react to being stuck in a small room with each other?”#you know damn well what image you were putting inside my head#you know#pauk#the wanderer

If you could just come back, you could really help bring everybody together. Please.
#robby keene#robbykeeneedit#cobra kai#ck#cobrakaiedit#ckedit#netflixedit#janielook#userroh#*gifs#something that truly gets me about robby's story is how deeply loved he is by those around him#like. he starts out the show completely alone in the world#but by s6? he is SO loved#sam was right when she said he could bring everybody together#like he brings danny back to the dojos in s5 and brings everybody back together#and then we have not just danny and johnny but sam and tory too#as well as kenny and miyagi do#and like. specifically in the case of lawrusso and samtory they manage to spark a truce because of how MUCH they love robby#THAT's their common ground in both cases#his story is beautiful not only because he starts alone and ends with so many people around him#it's beautiful because those people love him SO MUCH that it creates even more love#the kid without love is now building bridges and his simple existence is putting out more love into the world#it just... it means a lot to me. robby means a lot to me.#ANYWAYS

*sigh* thoughts on Nintendo's botw/totk timeline shenanigans and tomfoolery?
tbh. my maybe-unpopular opinion is that the timeline is only important when a game's place on the timeline seriously informs the way their narrative progresses. the problem is that before botw we almost NEVER got games where it didn't matter. it matters for skyward sword because it's the beginning, and it matters for tp/ww/alttp (and their respective sequels) because the choices the hero of time makes explicitly inform the narrative of those games in one way or another. it matters which timeline we're in for those games because these cycles we're seeing are close enough to oot's cycle that they're still feeling the effects of his choices. botw, however, takes place at minimum 10 thousand years after oot, so its place on the timeline actually functionally means nothing. botw is completely divorced from the hero of time & his story, so what he does is a nonissue in the context of botw link and zelda's story. thus, which timeline botw happens in is a nonissue. honestly I kind of liked the idea that it happened in all of them. i think there's a cool idea of inevitability that can be played with there. but the point is that the timeline exists to enhance and fill in the lore of games that need it, and botw/totk don't really need it because the devs finally realized they could make a game without the hero of time in it.
#i really do have a love-hate relationship with this timeline#because it's FASCINATING lore. genuinely. and i think it carries over the themes of certain games REALLY well#but i also think it's indicative of a trend in loz's writing that has REALLY annoyed me for a long time#which is this intense need to cling to oot#and on a certain level i get it. that was your most successful game probably ever. and it was an AMAZING game.#and i think there's definitely some corporate profit maximization tied up in this too--oot was an insane commercial success therefore you'r#not allowed to make new games we need you to just remake oot forever and ever#and that really annoys me because it makes certain games feel disjointed at best and barely-coherent at worst.#i think the best zelda games on the market are the ones where the devs were allowed to really push what they were working with#oot. majora. botw. hell i'd even put minish cap in there#these are games that don't quite follow what was the standard zelda gameplay at their time of release. they were experimental in some way#whether that be with graphics or puzzle mechanics or open-world or the gameplay premise in its entirety. there's something NEW there#and because the devs of those games were given that level of freedom the gameplay really enforces the narrative. everything feels complete#and designed to work together. as opposed to gameplay that feels disjointed or fights against story beats. you know??#so I think that the willingness to allow botw and totk to exist independently from the timeline is good at the very least from a developmen#standpoint because it implies a willingness to. stop making shitty oot remakes and let developers do something interesting.#and yes i do very much fear that the next 20 years of zelda will be shitty BOTW remakes now#in which botw link appears and undergoes the most insane character assassination youve ever seen in your life#but im trying to be optimistic here. if botw/totk can exist outside the timeline then we may no longer be stuck in the remake death loop#and i'm taking eow as a good sign (so far) that we're out of the death loop!! because that game looks NOTHING like botw or oot.#fingers crossed!!#anyway sorry for the game dev rant but tldr timeline good except when it's bad#asks#zelda analysis

Sometimes, after your boss/husband blows up, you adopt a pink hedgehog but you haven't really spoken for the 2 months she's been there so when you do it's a dumb Dad Joke™.
Fun comic for an au I have, more info under the cut
This au is called "The Garden of Stones and Roses" or "Sonic 4 Au" OR "The One(s) You Left Behind".
About 3 months after the death of Robotnik, Stone begins to work himself to death after moping for the three months before.
About a week after he began to work, he hears a ring open up behind him and out falls a pink hedgehog, running from something (G.U.N). Originally, he would have captured her and asked her questions (she may know something about that blue bastard), but he saw her face was just as lost as his. She had lost something and was running from the truth of it.
Their relationship isn’t the best at first. There is a distance between the two of them. He asks for some of her quills in return for him housing her. He builds new machines around her quills and she looks the other way for just a bit of peace. She never talks to him, only nods and agrees to make him less likely to throw her out.
After about two months of this, they finally bond with the trauma of losing people they love. They both open up after Amy woke up from a nightmare and Stone woke up screaming, seeing the doctor die in front of him again. He walks out to the kitchen area to find that Amy is there already, eating a sandwich (“It's a sadwhich, I guess…”). This is where they open up.
They get closer now, opening more up with each other to the point where they are each other's support systems. Finally, Stone thinks it's about time they go outside for some air. Amy is nervous due to being an alien, but Stone makes a holographic disguise for her to be more human. This becomes a normal thing, Amy being called Stone’s daughter and it stuck for the both of them.
#my art#stobotnik#agent stone#amy rose#comics#The Garden of Stone and Roses#Just a silly little comic#I have like...#A whole two pages of a main story comic in my drafts#If this does well#I will be encouraged#Please I love Amy and Stone so I gotta put them together to heal

Still in the trenches with this Twine port (and will be for a while), but also trying to be more diligent about keeping people more informed about stuff: I never really used Twitter to begin with, but will officially no longer be on it as of today and have made an account over on Bluesky at lenanguyenauthor.bsky.social. There is nothing there at the moment, but if you're on Bluesky as well and looking for accounts to follow, I'll be using that account to share updates about my books, games, and all other such news in the future! :D
#hope to see you there!#obviously tumblr and patreon and discord will also share the same announcements#but having a more diverse and more public-facing social media ecosystem is what people are supposed to do i guess lol#all the serious writing people have twitter-like accounts it feels like :') so i will try and not be a baby about it and make one too#in my ideal world i'd have the equivalent of a hermit cave up in the hills where i'd just be shut away doing my writing#occasionally i would emerge and make a fire and put up smoke signals and the people in the town below would interpret them like#'she's releasing the next Patreon short story in April! spring doth come early this year!'#and then I'd amble back into my cave and go back to writing until it was time for more smoke signals again#except there'd also be a tunnel in the cave through which the woodland animals could come through and we'd have tea together#and huddle around the fire and make jokes about lusting after clowns#that'd be Tumblr/Patreon/Discord and it'd be just for us! 🥰#...but alas--those are more niche for people 'in the industry'#...anyway hope you'll give me a follow over there as well! it really helps!#Twitter#Bluesky#social media#me#personal#writing#link

gojo, akemi, and sachiro all snuggled together in one giant bed, with sachi nestled close to auntie ‘kemi who’s softly singing him to sleep, while dada satoru watches them both, holding them in his arms and feeling this warmth in his heart at the sight of their bond >>>
#sy canon#angst lol#also off topic but#can i just say#that so many of u guys leave me in absolute awe#whenever i read ur comments/reblogs/asks they’re always detailed and well-put together like ???#i’m always so grateful to read those 🥹 and like to have people who really read the story at its fullest#and take the time to write down such thorough analyses#whether it’s the plot or the character#amazing is all i can say

I love arranging it's like YES YES THE OBJECTS ARE IN LOCATIONS
#i do sometimes wish i had a messy apartment and a put together life#anyway i acquired a new favorite object at goodwill yesterday a mug in my favorite color#i was wondering about the previous owner and why they would give up such a nicely shaped mug#was it an older person who passed away or just someone moving?#maybe they're just in a smaller apartment now and they have other mugs they like better#maybe their favorite color isn't sky blue#i wish i knew their whole story#why didn't you like this mug?#i do think about the people who owned my things before me and wish them well sometimes#it's nice to be connected like this#i think that's what i like so much about stories where people explore abandoned places#it's also about knowing other people in a very genuine way#not what they present to the world but how they really lived#idk

Average Drama Enjoyer observes some peak drama.
#dungeon meshi#toshiro nakamoto#laios touden#kabru#izutsumi#Before anyone mistakes this as mischaracterization: The joke here is that it's ambiguous what the hell he means.#Kabru does love getting into fights a bit more than average but he's mostly here for the drama.#I screenshot the scene of him going 'The dark arts!' with a little smile everytime I re-read dungeon meshi. He's so catty. I love him.#And shout out to Izutsumi for adding fire to the drama. Girl said 'I am the listener. I heard that shit.' and refused to apologize.#Joke two: the deep cut - Welcome to more propaganda for whatever the hell is going on between Laios & Shuro & Kabru.#Laios trusting Shuro with some *heavy* information because he admires him so much! And wants to be his friend so badly!#Kabru also has another great character moment when he immediatly clocks Laios as not being as malicious as expected.#We love a character who can put the clues together! It is such a good subversion of what role we think Kabru is to play in this story!#Now he's eager to befriend Laios - who is barely interested and currently trying to befriend Shuro - who is barely interested and...well.#The painful triangle of people trying to get to know the other person better and being rejected...Friendship triangle.#We have all had a friendship triangle situation before. Right? You guys have also struggled to read people. Right?#Laios is universally relatable. Right?

“Computer, end message,” said the younger Julian Bashir, as flushed with embarrassment as his counterpart had been flushed with arousal. “Computer, belay that order,” said Garak.
Fanart of one of my favorite moments from the amazing fic A Bag Full Of God by @vermin-disciple (The whole series it belongs to is also so so good, please do yourself a favour and check it out if you haven’t already!)
The mental image of a deaged Garak — with his heart full of murder and inadvisable devotion to Tain and Cardassia yet untempered by time and Julian Bashir — still being like ‘no no let’s hear him (you) out we don't know where he's going with this’ as he watches his husband-to-be-in-like-fifty-years perform a loving Space Zoom striptease, while a deaged Julian goes 😳 next to him at the mortifying ordeal of witnessing his future slutty dilf self cheerfully sending nudes… *chef’s kiss* I was laughing so hard that I was wheezing

TW/ Mizuki5 spoilers
Okay I made a post being mad at Mizuki5 that I deleted but I'm honestly glad they handled Mizurui way better than I expected.
They didn't try to make it sound like Rui somehow is doing "so much better" than Mizuki because they are in a way scared of the same thing right now.
Of course for Rui it's a lot less worse and incoming than Mizuki for various reason but I really like the parallel that they're no longer afraid of not being accepted anymore they're just scared of things changing.
I was genuinely scared that it was gonna be Mizuki2 side card levels of trying to make it seem like Rui just suddenly speedrun through his character arc and left Mizuki behind.
Of course part of Mizuki's insecurity in their relationship is Rui is "better" now but he honestly really isn't, it's just that he isn't actively dealing with his fear constantly and he's in a relatively safe space at the moment.
I'm still kinda in pain and depressed that Mizuki5 is so angst heavy but I understand they wanted this to have impact and maybe wanted a rock bottom before we can have Mizuki be better again for tension reasons. I did really want a bittersweet Mizuki event but this is more realistic.
#mizuki5#mizuki akiyama#rui kamishiro#rui wxs#pjsk#project sekai#prsk#mizuki pjsk#mizuki 25ji#25ji#wxs#wonderlandxshowtime#if you're mad that I'm talking about Rui right now when there's a Mizuki event happening I'm Sorry#it's just where my head is at mainly because i'm terrified of Rui's character getting shoved aside#for the sake of Mizuki angst#which they deserve this event I think it was a really well put together event#but like don't I didn't want another Mizuki 2 side card story happening

here together
#lobotomy corporation#lobcorp#lobotomy corp spoilers#lobotomy corporation spoilers#abram lobcorp#i didnt know that the song that plays during day 48 ending is called 'here together'.#couldnt hear it well because i typically have my sound low (sensetive to louder sounds) and also the dialog fucked me up#so when i pressed on it to hear it. to actually listen to it. then to see the name and remember what it Looked like#i got teary eyed. sorry.#it happened quite. afew times when finishing this shitty thing#i was thinking of how camren's not quite corpse looked as if it were reaching out to him inside the container#how it looked as if she had wings. abrams words. the line from one story that was--#something like 'we were hoping it was just one big prank and she would hop out fro. around the corner with a smile on her face'#how do you move forward when all you think you cause is pain? when everything else youve done only brought to bring people you love to thei#downfall and demise inside agony and fear as they lay dying. none of that was merciful. none of that was just. they were told to carry on#her dream and he views as if all he had done was to become cruel and wasnt fit and never even began to finish what she started.#it was so striking to me. the language he used. sleeping. alseep. waken. when all the others never sugarcoated it#in lobcorp they always said it straight. 'suicide' 'killed' 'dead'. but he used something far more.. peaceful? kind in wording in a way.#softer. describing death as if it were a merciful thing. an end that suits them and not something to be afraid of. to just... sink. to slee#to be with carmen again. to put everything to an end#the place they built with their hands. to have it just... stop. not in a way of repeating and staying in the moment#but of a permanent end. to 'sleep'. to die. to just.... stop. forever. to see no more. to do no more#to not be able to do Anything for when ever he had done Something it just cause agony. cruel hands partaking in acts he so deeply#regrets. everything is just regret. it sounds nice. to move on. to just move forward. but how can you move forward when all you think you#bring to those you cherished and couldnt leave behind is pain?#ill likely move this somewhere else as well. ive been meaning to talk about abram#the rest as well actually. mostly just the few final days w abel adam and abram since i am STUCK ON DAY 49#oh dear i uh typed a lot in the tags. oops
