My child, who is being raised in *Western* Massachusetts by a Minnesotan, with grandparents from firmly not-Boston, and as far as I'm aware *no* teachers from the eastern part of the state either, is inexfuckingsplicably developing a Boston accent and I just want to know why
#obv not the whole accent but really distinct parts of it#like the lack of Rs at the end of words and the A to Aah thing#(OP is not a linguist)#at first it was like oh I bet she said it this way and people found it to be cute (true) so positive reinforcement#but it's very consistent now!#literally there's like one kid in one class she's had who has a kind of noticable accent otherwise it doesn't exist out here!#what is it in the water or something?

this manatee looks like itâs in a skyrim loading screen
#lol good luck finding all of the photoshopped versions in the rb history. âmanatee restoredâ is still my favorite of all time#misc#I encourage anyone dyslexic to try rotating him in your mind. I canât do that; which is why Iâm asking you to.#also: a bunch of tags are surprised this isnât âshopped#itâs the lighting. backlit by the sun (which is diffused through the water) but also forelit artificially#the artificial light - a flash pack or something - casts a hard shadow under the creatures arm#which normally wouldnât be possible if backlit by the SUN; youâd see a less-hard/more-fragmented shadow above water#as light sources âcompeteâ in a sense - and since there arenât any light sources which can outshine the literal sun#it looks a bit weird when the darkest shadow is being cast from any other origin point - which is whatâs essentially happening here#I donât know the mechanics of how light travels through water; but I know the effect is substantial even with relatively short distances#also: itâs been balanced and color corrected by the author of the photo - who made deliberate choices to bring out the full potential#so itâs not like itâs a fresh and untouched export#but the kind of âtacked onâ appearance of the creature is a result of the lighting conditions within the image

trying to enjoy Veilguard in the ever-incendiary Dragon Age fandom like
#ya'll remember when this was our Big Fear#because I do#veilguard i had the lowest possible expectations for you and instead you blew them out of the water#not a perfect game but I was ready to absolutely hate it and instead i had an absolute blast start to finish#even some of the things I wish there was more or less of still pale in comparison to what i expected to get#so#guess its a matter of perspective?#like sometimes you just gotta look for things to like about something rather than things to dislike#and once you start noticing them you'll keep noticing them#and then youve got this game that maybe isnt quite what you expected#but brings its own adventure to the table#datv#da:v#da:v positive

Currently thinking of omegaverse epic Au where Omega Odysseus is constantly fighting off his alpha suitors. My thought process is Penelope's a beta and it's common for omega kings to take a second spouse that can...well you get the picture. Anyway one day he's just trying to enjoy himself at the beach (skinny dipping in the tides) when a few of the suitors pull up like "Heeeeeeey~". So Odysseus finally snaps and says something along the lines of "The only alpha who could be worthy of an omega such as myself would be Poseidon!"
"Oh really~?"
Thunder rumbles above them, they all look up, and there sits Zeus on his throne of women shaped clouds (did I watch Neil Illustrators God Games animatic earlier, maybe). Looking smug and putting on his best bedroom eyes,
"What about Zeus, king of the gods~?"
Odysseus considers it for like 0.5 seconds, before swallowing nervously and essentially saying "I said what I said". Zeus is completely taken aback, absolutely dumbstruck as Poseidon finally busts from the sea, grabs Odysseus by the hips and basically goes "HA! Now fuck off jackass he's mine!"
#Apollo freezes while watering a patch of hyacinth#Hyacinthus: âWhat's wrong babe?â#Apollo: âI don't know...Cold dread just washed over me along with a really fucked up sense of deja vuâ#Apollo: âLike something awful that I've experienced is about to happen to someone else...â#epic the musical#odysseus#epic#epic poseidon#odysseus epic#epicthemusical#zeus epic#epic zeus#poseidon epic the musical#epic odysseus#I don't think this counts as manwhore au right?#ah fuck it just to be sure#manwhore au#Odysseus x Poseidon

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 1: Dread on Arrival
(Part 2)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#jiang fengmian#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#Yungmeng Jiang Training Arc AU#MDZS AU#The AU name for this idea is something I am 100% willing to change if someone has a better one.#There will be at least 2-3 more comics so *please*. Ideas and feedback welcome.#The core idea behind this AU is that LWJ goes to study with the Yunmeng Jiang sect instead of JC and WWX going to Cloud Recess#But why? Well I imagine Lan Xichen set it up to give LWJ a challenge (more social than skill based) and LWJ rose to it (begrudgingly)#Sort of a 'You've mastered so many Lan techniques but Other Sects have styles that are worth learning.' set up.#Lan Qiren agrees mostly on the basis that...well it's LWJ. Yunmeng Jiang is unruly but LWJ is beyond that riff-raff. He'll rise above it.#This is the story of a boy who thrives on routine and rules spending time in a place that is his apparent antithesis.#Also it is so warm there. He is used to it being cold and what do you MEAN just take off some of my layers?#I just want to see him struggle and flail in many situations. And get him in Jiang Purple. Is that so wrong of me?#(Soaking wet JC is part of my 'JC was born to swim; forced to hold a sword' agenda. Do not remove him from the water)#((Politeness notes: JFM would *not* call LWJ 'lan wangji' nor would LWJ be vocally impolite to a sect leader.))

it is insane how normal i am medicated like. you mean this was an option the whole time. what
#theresbeen some hiccups like the first month i started to realize my work drive was 90% fear based#so ivehad to develop like actual work schedule and discipline thats not just 'everyone will hate me if i dont'#but its been working! now getting stuff done actually... feels.... good?#instead of like throwing water over one fire only to run to the next one#like before nothing was ever satisfying. i was always just running around panicked#now im like. okay this is what i have to get done today. yay! i finished it! now i go to bed. okay now its the next day#the only other thing ive noticed is ive become seemingly like. more. autistic acting.#like i get More fixated on my special interests now. i can think about something for hours straight instead of getting guilty and thinking#'oh im being greedy im being lazy with my time i should be doing something productive'

Just a reminder that in much of the northern hemisphere there is Good and Exciting Stuff to be found right now (early Summer) in your local ponds and waterways.
#salamander#newt#animals#wildlife#just good vibes tbh#Lissotriton#Lissotriton vulgaris#I keep telling my students to go out looking for all the tiny toadlets that are emerging from the water right now#yet they are stubbornly showing up to class every day as though they're not taking me seriously#what a privilege to get to behold such gentle and delicate creatures#just a few minutes' walk from my house#please go pond mucking#my wife and I take our son to this pond regularly and just spend some hours dipping and seeing what we see#I have been blown away by the diversity and richness#every time we go out I find something new and exciting#and my son gets closer and closer to falling in completely#but it is all part of it

okay hi so listen hear me out
sea snake is a bit too obvious (and too boring)
so i made him based on some kind of lionfish??? (bc something something venomous marine animal) also with a LOT of creative liberties i made with how the fish looks like
letâs also give his fins some rips and tears here and there bc what are the implications of that??? thatâs for you đ«” to decide
anyways chat i lowkey dont know what i was doing
i had no other thoughts but haha funny snake man i turn into fish
#mmm the quality is so crunchy#also his ass is under there i swear#a friend pointed out where it was and iâm just hfjjdjdjd#[ââŠ-#-⧠my art#twst art#twst#twisted wonderland#jamil viper#merjamđ#-âŠâ]#also hey hi tag readers#let's do something fun here#(if you don't like deep water/drowning(?) imagery please dont continue past this đ)#âdont go near the ocean they sayâ#âfor there are sirens that will compel you with their beauty and their seductive voicesâ#âhowever you find yourself being lured in by the sea with an enchanting soundâ#âbefore you knew it you're underwater sinking deeper and deeperâ#âdespite the water filling your lungs you find yourself still conscious but not in control of yourselfâ#âas you gaze into a pair of enchanting charcoal eyesâ#âthis creature... it's a siren. and somehow you can hear its thoughts and commandsâ#âfinally. you. you are the keyâ'#âthe siren yearns to be free from the dreary depthsâ#âyou're human aren't you?â âthe siren wants to be human tooâ âthe siren wants to be freeâ#âthe siren tried to hide it but you can feel that it was desperateâ#âyou /will/ take it onto landâ#âyou /will/ let the siren be a part of that world... or elseâ#(idk what im on tbh but mer AU đđđđ)

#HEHEHE THEY'RE SO CUTE I LOVE THEMMM#such a shame these scenes are so brief đ#avatar#avatar 2#the way of water#sully family#jake sully#neytiri#neteyam#kiri#lo'ak#jeytiri#lĂŹ'fya leNa'vi#gif#i'm actually not sure whether Jake is meant to be saying âsloa tsyalâ (wide wing) or âslotsyalâ (stormglider) here#but i thiiiiiink i hear the -a sound in there#i mean i suppose it doesn't REALLY matter; either one would make sense in this context#and the species name âslotsyalâ derives from âsloa tsyalâ anyways (as I'm sure you could've guessed hrh)#(btw âsyuâ is not a real word; just the closest I could come to the âwhooshâ sound effect he's making with Forest dialect phonetics hrh)#it sounds like he also says something else before Neytiri says âhufweâ but I can't make out what it's supposed to be#cuz the voiceover narration is talking over it -_-;#in the next shot when Neytiri is running around she also says something#sounds like it might be âtysal latsuâ meaning roughly âmust be a wingâ#or perhaps âtsyal atunâ meaning âred/orange wingâ which would make sense with Kiri's little Toruk toy#but I think there's an S sound in there so idk#again it's hard to tell because the narration is playing over it#SHUT UP NARRATION JAKE I'M TRYING TO HEAR WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SCENE đ#oh well

If I were a writer at a big game company working on a sequel to a beloved series and the higher ups kept telling me to make the game shittier and kept sending my work back to me to be dumbed down even further somehow, and then once most of the writing was done they laid me and my coworkers off illegally without severance, I'd probably gleefully watch as people trashed the shitty game that shipped.
#bioware critical#veilguard critical#datv critical#like I would have had a first row seat to exactly why the game sucked#and it probably sucked to have your ideas trashed assuming that's a thing that happened#and to watch DA get watered down to fucking nothing#if that is what happened#and then to get fucking FIRED after writing the complete drivel they demanded#yeah I'd be eating popcorn and watching the bad reviews come in like I TOLD you Chad the fans aren't THAT stupid#and ahah yeah that sequence sure DOES make no sense after the 'editing' job Barb did#but as someone who does not have a parasocial relationship with the writers and in fact has no desire to learn their names#I will never know how they spent this time#I don't really care#I don't know them#I have the same general wishes for wellbeing as I do any fellow humans#so I hope your popcorn was salty and buttery and hot I guess#on second thought i could also see someone being bitterly devastated that something they devoted so much of their life to came to this#but i still dont think its the fans or haters they would feel devastated by

Who?
(Can't do digital art again yet. Traditional has been fun, though. Click for not blurry quality)
#dca#daycare attendant#moondrop#sundrop#fnaf moon#fnaf sun#fnaf eclipse#ruin eclipse#dca fandom#fanart#villain.jpeg#this was done in less than an hour and if you desire the lore and meaning behind it#it went through many stages. I didn't plan it I was taking a break from drawing l/o/t/r characters#initially it was going to be a creepy sun emboding moon's whole thing. Then moon playing pretend and mascarading as sun#then a nod to sun and moon being indeed the same person. something I usually dont draw because I view them as separate#then I accidentally added in moon's hat even though I already had the rays. because I rarely draw sun so it's instinct#and this all started because I had this vivid image of sun's wide eyes in shadows so deep you can make out his ghostly white iris#point is: not even I the artist know if this is eclipse. if this is sun. if this is moon. if this is them mid switch. this is the DCA#traditional art#done with grey brush pen tgat I added water to. a black brush. black fineliner. and several layers of white pencil to wash out that eye#(it was painted black)#plus white watercolour for the iris#yes I had to do it like this. the camera doesn't capture it well but in person all that work made the eye exactly how I envisioned it#what a tag rant for a fanart that took less than an hour before dinner lmao

I don't know the rules for art requests so I'm hoping if I do this wrong you'll just ignore this message. I really, really like your Dead Boy Detectives art and I've been following it since the first comic with the soul orbs. I also like your different AUs and crossovers.
Could you write/draw a comic where Doom Patrol Charles meets Reverse Verse Charles? I think that could be interesting because those are the two versions of Charles who admit they're in love with Edwin, but also those two are on opposite ends of the emotional stability scale. That's probably not a good word for it-- what I mean is that DP-Charles seems comfortable with himself while RV-Charles thinks he's an absolutely terrible person, and RV-Charles is kind of manipulative at times while DP-Charles seems to be aware of others' feelings and gives them space.
Also, I think RV-Edwin and DP-Edwin might enjoy sassing each other too much.
No rules, just a lot of patience! Reading your comments always makes me happy, so I made this little thing very quickly :) I'm sure there's a lot of fun interactions for them to have, but it might take me a while to come up with more stuff.
I don't think DP!Charles has advice for RV!Charles... after all, they're kind of in the same boat. But maybe he can teach him a thing or two about giving Edwin time and space? I would love the see everyone's thoughts, because this seems like it could be a fun dynamic.
Thank you for the request, and to everyone else who sent me one: I live in shame. I will get to them.
ko-fi
#ask ask ask#dead boy detectives#payneland#edwin x charles#reverse verse#dead patrol#i think these charles with get along better than with rv does with the original charles#all edwins are naturally suspicious of other edwins though#it's just the way things are#also something to be said about dp!charles being scared of water#and rv!charles being scared of fire#dunno what but something for sure#i really want to get these guys talking but i'm still not sure what i want them to say#also i have a few requests for the dp boys! it's not the same but take this in the meantime#joking about dp!charles' bat will never get old fight m#me*#i kinda wanted to have dp!edwin saying something like#of all the versions of us YOU avoided hell?#but it felt... kinda mean#well he is mean but that would get too serious too fast and this was meant to be a quick silly thing
