your body isn't your own

#monkey d luffy #koby one piece #eustass kid #killer one piece #described in alt text #my art #my comic #secret modern au #art is concept ect #here i wanted to see how much i could implied with as little dialogue as possible. worked best in the first comic tbh #luffy is intersex in this AU now! (and a cis man) it's smth i had considered multiple time but never settled on until now because #i wasn't sure what to do with it but with how the plot evolved it makes a lot of sense and fixes some parts.#it's funny! he was meant to have some undiagnosed vague hormone disorder but i decided it's likely pms/pmdd (and maybe smth else #he's got a lot going on) and you kind need an uterus for that sooo.#genderwise he went through various flavors of gnc cis guy to genderqueer to ??? but now i'm thinking cis guy is best.#* VICE admiral btw. this what happen when you write comic past midnight

Still not strong enough

#artists on tumblr #last piece of the year #although i'm already working on the first piece for next year as well #what a year it's been #once again #is this what being an adult is just going to be like for the rest of my life #every year i look back and think man how exhausting #and hope that next year will be kind #and that i'll finally find peace and somewhere to belong #and that year just never comes

it was literally their moment and they just let us watch

(if you need me i'll be marinating in this for the foreseeable future)

#magneto #rogue #rogneto #rogueneto #IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO PICK ONLY 10 IMAGES. SOSOSOSO DIFFICULT. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SCENE WAS FUCKING SUBLIME.#thank you to the person who pointed out the bg music is ace of base 'happy nation' ;wwwwwww; SUCH A GOOD SONG FOR THIS #okay but for real never have i had a stronger 'GOD I WISH THAT WERE ME' moment #magneto can we all form a queue to dance with you romantically in the air while an audience watches.............#their body language. their HANDS. OLD MAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR MOUTH AND YOUR TONGUE BY HER NECK #no word of a lie ive probably watched this scene 200 times today. new comfort media. inject it directly into my veins.#my husband laughing at me as i rewind and play over and over again from the other side of the room #my fave fave FAAAAVE part of this animation is the lil pan they do #the one between mags and rogue and the lyric 'where the people understand and dream of perfect man'#THERE IS SOMETHING SO SOFT AND ROMANTIC AND ADORING ABOUT IT #disintegrates like a sopping wet piece of bread. thank you animators who worked on this scene #i feel like i am burning with the excitement of a thousand suns over this #xmen 97 #leigh's magneto hours

"It's more than something. It's everything."

s8e11 "Life Time"

painted screenshot. cannot give a time estimate, i lost track long ago. still gouache brush, my beloved, with blur tools to fade edges and so on

i have to go to the zoo now and will be making the version with the clock later [i cannot express how long ive been battling with hawkeye's face, gamers]. background went very fast like i said it would lol

version 2 [as in, w/ clock] will probably be done later today, and i will edit this and add it when that happens [and prolly make a separate post too, for celebration purposes, and will link them]. i will also compile progress pics for that post. they are terrifying early on lmao

"A lot of very touching songs came outta that war" previous painting

"It was pink, and perfect, and I tossed it in the scrap bucket" previous painting

everyone say thank you to bj to being a perfect painting subject today he was very polite and he looks about how i wanted unlike SOME PEOPLE

that was me to my sibling last night, and i stayed up til 1:10ish and still didnt finish the final pass over hawkeye's eye. everything else took like 5ish minutes

also everyone say thank you to margaret and nurse kellye for also being perfect and lovely and pleasant to work with

photo used blatantly stolen from this post thank you again @remyfire i owe you my life

update edit;

clock back

#mash #mash 4077 #m*a*s*h #mash fanart #mash art #mashblr #hawkeye pierce #bj hunnicutt #margaret houlihan #nurse kellye #just so you know the working title for the last piece was 'detroit: become sleepy'#and the piece before that was just called 'teehee' because i couldnt think of anything clever when i saved the file #and the working title for THIS piece was 'heterosexual staring'#i also might post my layer names throughout the process just to show off how goofy it got #like i got one now just called 'crunch'. i dont even know what its for #not to mention 'hair shit debacle augh' and 'paint [real]' with its brother 'paint [imposter]'#anyway the parts im most proud of are hawkeye's clothes and his neck creases #and then bj's forehead and eyes and nose and hair #that lamp is also a banger that shit took like 40 minutes it was a great little treat #also shoutout to their ears wherein #once again. i put off the ears til the last minute and then nailed them immediately #i just hate doing them. i do well at it but i hate em #.update #.my art #not a screenshot #i used a screenshot to paint over it piece by backbreaking wristspraining piece but this IS a painting #anyway go check out my fic its somethin. i am a man of many talents. and they're all being used to give me the brain chemicals from MASH #.reasons my wrist is suing me

was today years old when discovering that the eleventh doctor wears leather trousers. his trousers are made of black leather. Black leather with the ends rolled up and I. have no idea what to think-

#what do you mean he is wearing BLACK LEATHER TROUSERS #all this time I thought it was denim but I just saw his Children In Need short and? they really are? black leather?#exactly like the books and articles describe. he is wearing black leather #ON HIS LEGS #I genuinely thought oh ha! tweed old man jacket with elbow patches. cotton shirt. braces and bow tie. boots. precious man #denim trousers #BUT NO. NO. hear me. listen to me. that sideways old man babyface is wearing black leather trousers. do you know what that makes him?#COOL. do you know what that also makes him? STUPID #he's even more ridiculous than I thought he was. who does that. like the tweed and the bow tie and the elbow patches were all quirky #all eccentric and geek chic and niche and moffat and the costumers really tried to create a very OBVIOUS caricature #but it worked and it came together to look exactly how it was supposed to look okay. but. BUT.#it is all sitting on top of cleverly-disguised. barely-referred-to. blink-twice-and-you'll-miss-them-#black leather trousers. *inhale with me* matt smith in his mid-twenties dressing as a geek chic alien grandfather. IN BLACK LEATHER TROUSER #NEEEERRRRD #eleventh doctor #doctor who #doverstar's thoughts #text post #funny #read the tags #opinion piece #I guess?#eleven #11 #11th doctor #11th #dw #bbc #matt smith #steven moffat

LOST: Season One

#lost #abc lost #lost one cap per ep #this was a project i was gonna do anyways but the timing worked out that i could post the first one on the 20th anniversary!#this is one cap per ep every season. from left to right. and this is important: its not a cap that sums up each ep #its a cap that REPRESENTS each ep. the way i choose them varies every episode #sometimes its an utterly iconic moment. sometimes it reps the theme of the ep. or it hits with a theme of the character themselves #sometimes the cap i use won't even involve the character whose centric episode it is. trust me. this makes sense #anyways i'll give a good example: for outlaws i was so tempted to use a shot of the judgemental soulful gaze of the boar #or perhaps sawyer in the rain after he shot that man #but! i used that shot of sawyer's dads legs as sawyer is hiding under the bed. i feel it worthy because this moment. this scene #is literally a core part of sawyer. it's a defining moment of his backstory. of his character. so yeah. makes sense yeah?#anyways some eps had Too Much going on (lord i could make one of these for exodus part 1 alone) and some not enough #or well they DID but like lacked in caps that Hit in the way im thinking. thank heavens charlie shot ethan cuz i was worried about that ep #i was like ''aw shit what am i gonna use'' and then an iconic lost moment happened kjhfdsjkhfd #anyways. there are 25 eps in season one. so im really glad that the last ep contains one of the moment iconic visuals/moments in all of los #oh i should add that these caps are unedited. i did not fuck with the colours or saturation in any way #i found 'em and i pieced them together. this is harder than it sounds. i browsed through all the screencaps of every ep of season one #and i will do so the remaining five seasons #some of these were super easy like i knew what cap i'd be using before i even started (eg. do no harm. the moth. in translation)#but some took some real Thinking. and some eps even had several caps that would have worked. this has all been quite interesting #also yeah. y'all already know damn well what cap i'm using for the very last episode

Time for a new version!

I’ve really just had hand avatars on all my art social medias since 2015 huh...

#i miss watercolors #i'll try to get back into it next year #i've never had stable hands #so doing line art with ink is near impossible for me #but i would like to find a style that works #maybe sticking to pencils #man what a year it's been #another tough one #hoping to finish one more personal piece before the year ends #i feel i've made progress this year #with art and myself both #little steps #just gotta keep at it

I've been reading Exodus lately and I've just gotten to the portions where God gives the first commands to the people via Moses (twice), and then goes on to give detailed instructions about the tabernacle and how it should be built, and I'm just... we think art is unimportant?? we think things only mean as much as their functionality?? we so easily fall into the trap of believing that beauty means nothing, that it's cheap and only worth whatever mindless distraction it brings, that it's barely more than a cheap sensual thrill, that buildings should just be practical and plain and cheap, that everything should be functional but ultimately disposable, that paintings and dresses and mugs and curtains and carpets are just pretty but have no real value, that beauty is fleeting and vain and therefore shouldn't be thought about too much, if even looked for at all... we fall into these traps so easily, and we forget that there are chapters upon chapters of painstakingly detailed plans to build one portable worship tent, and those plans have been handed down through thousands of years of human history, because beauty and art and skill in craft is important

#I have to go get ready for work now but I will come back to this #and don't even get me started on the parts about God calling specific craftsmen *by name*#he called them!! by name!!! he said 'this man is good at his job. he creates beautiful work. he will build my temple and make it beautiful'#and even more--God inspired him!!!! it was a calling of GOD for him to create beautiful carvings and tapestries and candlesticks!!!#look even if you're not jewish or christian or religious at all you have GOT to see what it means that all these incredibly detailed plans #for building this tent-temple are extremely important #because even if you don't believe in God and don't think that this is all significant bc he personally gave the instructions #and then helped preserve this record of them so we could still read them today #you do have to see how important they were to the people of that time who first wrote them down #and the extreme care that was taken to record all of those detail #AND the fact that it's been preserved for so long and we can still read all the care that was put into creating this incredible piece #of artwork and worship they made #gurt says stuff #I just. gahhfhhfj. I'm feeling emotional about chapters of the Bible that I can't even fully force myself to pay attention to #bc there's so MUCH and I'm bad at visualizing this stuff and I tend to zone out while listening to it #but the fact that it IS that much!!! that there SO MUCH DETAIL and it goes on for SO LONG that I even struggle to pay attention!!!#that this was THAT IMPORTANT to the people who wrote it and to God!!! as an artist and someone who has always cared about art #this means so much to me ok #christianity #bible verse #bible thoughts #exodus #art #theology

I think whats so compelling about Sanji is that he's so terribly self conscious about being masculine that anything that performs masculinity better than him (ie, Zoro, obliviously, minus the women-fucking part), or skews masculinity, is a threat to him. Which makes him rampantly homophobic and transphobic. And as he also believes masculinity needs to be focused around being horny for women makes him also rampantly misogynistic cause he can't actually see women past them being a sexual object. Anyways it all culminates in you the audience being fairly certain that this man cannot be straight due to this terribly obvious fragility around his masculinity, and that if he ever got dicked down, it might solve all these issues.

#sanji #black leg sanji #one piece #op sanji #congrats to oda to unintentionally making the epitome of a repressed bi man who desperately refuses to acknowledge his queerness #its like wow! i knew a bunch of these in high school #anyways. thats my relationship to sanji. this man just needs to be dicked down. and then maybe he can start to tackle #his fragile masculinity and all that comes with it #i think thats also what makes zosan so appealing. other then them both being attractive. is that all of sanjis fragile masculinity #is threatened by zoro since zoro fits the rugged masculine architype much better then sanji and is close enough to sanji #in relation to being masc that sanji recognizes him as a 'competitor' to womanly affection. also one can argue zoro #being perceived as a threat can also come from sanji also liking zoro in that way and not wanting to admit it.#anyways that all makes it a very fun playground to work with #also like if they for one minute actually made him more focused on cooking and the all blue hed be a way more.interesting character #hugin rambles #hugin rambles op
