"There you are, darling. I've been looking everywhere for you." He smirks at her bloody appearance her magic hanging heavy in the air invigorating him. She's panting, head fuzzy as she turns to him only to collapse after registering his words, the toll of draining her magic catching up with her.

Hey... Hypothetically, how would Audie & Sebastian react to the *biggest* raspberry being blown on their tail fins? (especially considering it seems to be the former's weak point based on the chart I saw)

*cough* This is definitely a drawing prompt btw-

you'd think they'd learn their lesson by now, huh.

#my art #mine #my ocs #pressure tickles #roblox pressure tickles #sebastian solace #audie #WOO ITS GOOD TO BE BACK #anyway the tailfin/fluke is pretty bad for both of them but audie's is worse #+ sebastian has learned to never fully let his guard down when it comes to mischief from them #when they started fucking with his tail he had a feeling #softer detail; in the first doodle he's actually massaging their tail idly to help circulation #of course that means he ended up yanking on it in reflex but audie's not complaining. good stretch #bonus round;#sebastian has learned how to use pressure points in their tailfin to just make it so much worse (deserved)#in short; get fucked audie this is what you get for being a gremlin #the first time they ever did that to him he literally sent them flying btw #also no dialogue bc i speedran this at like 3am and i dont wanna bother sunshine #gn

upon reflection from my eras show I have three criticisms: 1) WHY was long live cut and but daddy I love him added. if there's ever a time for songs about loving your fans not hating them it's when you're sharing a room with like 80k of them?? 2) mastermind is the dead weight of the setlist, the archer deserved to stay instead! 3) the worst part of the show is the standing ovation after champagne problems I'M SORRY but it felt soo forced like a spontaneous prolonged crowd response at an emotional moment is lovely but it just felt like "and now is the allocated time for me to just stand here and look surprised whilst you all cheer for several minutes" and it dragged

#i was going to reduce the haterism by saving this for after i watch the tour movie #(i fear i may have more setlist complaints once i experience what got cut)#but idk when i'll get round to that and i had to get this off my chest shfjdnsjnf #maybe i'll feel differently after my august show but for now these are the three things that have bothered me #and of course it goes without saying that these are small things from an overall excellent show #taylor swift #talking

can i requeeeessstt edgar rescuing scriabin from something |D

Day 6 - There are consequences out here

Bonus, of what he was doing to get stickers in his hair:

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Scriabin #Edgar #I really wasn't sure what to do with this one at first! Or rather - I immediately had this and another idea but wasn't satisfied either way #I opted for this one because The Feelings and the bonus - additions oddly energizing!#I think it's that at first I was too strongly reminded of the one I made of Edgar cutting Scriabin's hair #Poses too similar! Feelings too similar! Not new or shiny or sparkly or anything!!!#But then the bonus came to mind and cute Scriabin is always nice <3 #And then the pose expanded as well! Different! New challenges!#I've been trying to attempt more fullbodies this year :3 I don't make them that often! It's good practice all round!#Anatomy and consistency and more dynamic posing!!!! All good things :D #And also parts that I'm not as used to drawing - their feetsies turned out nice I think! Ah! Feels like a level up love when that happens #And then the Feelings of it all <3 #I love Scriabin impulsively enjoying his body So Badly gah #Being extant in private and getting to fully revel in sensation with no filter no interruptions #Consequences now - new fallouts of his own actions - but the immediacy just Feels so much he can't help it #Edgar chides him of course - he's (had to) grown out of such childish impulses! Aren't you an adult!#Really he just worries neither of them would do well with either gone for long stickers least of all haha #And he likes being useful <3 They're so similar haha Scriabin loves to complain and Edgar loves to fret ♥#They balance each other well for what a handful they are #Scriabin especially of course hehe

i dont like when character being blunt/having no filter = character just being Mean, and im trying to find a good balance with that for Talon. I guess it's not that hard since he's not an (active) overthinker and I have drawn him saying things he considers neutral that seem rude to others...I guess I have to find a way to show the opposite, too

#talkys #oc text #active overthinker bc he does have mindsets that would be Overthinking but theyre more like #''the brain fell to this conclusion'' vs ''this conclusion was arrived at after hrs of thinking''#also the balance would be because he of course does have to at least consider his words often #and i know there are things he doesnt want to reveal to others‚ or sometimes he doesnt Want to say things that could #influence someones emotions in one way or another #but i think thats solved by the ''neutral (to him) statement'' part of it #just like when i drew him saying smunker's face was really round (to smunker himself)#skunker took that as an insult but talon was just Stating Observation #similarly Talon would have to strain certain compliments to people he enjoys through clenched teeth sometimes #due to the vulnerability of it all of course #but we could also just go the ''It's Just An Observation he states neutrally‚ without thinking'' route here #except received positively #i think thats harder for ME the writer to figure out tho bc im the overthinker #and also positive stuff harder to keep neutral and surface level #maybe it rly just is thinking vs unthinking #catching self thinking about complimenting al = why would i embarrass myself this way #the words simply escaping before the thought catches up‚ without being too detailed‚ solely #based off of what he's observing at that moment = ✅#also dont get me wrong talon IS purposefully mean pretty often LOL but i didnt want that sole connection to Being Blunt #ok gn yey ^_^

In the wake of the IA situation, I've seen a lot more posts circulating about using your local library and I just. Sigh

#i dont know whether these people are thinking of Big City libraries #or their local is the most well stocked most accommodating library known to man #but my library consists of mostly kids books and ww2 skinned romance lites and james patterson thrillers #if youre lucky theres some pop history books on the tiny shelf in the back #oh also the opening times? 0930 to 1700 of course. yknow. when most ppl are at work :)#oh except sunday. when were just closed ;)#trying to get the library to bring in a specific book? sorry that'll be nine months and we'll send it to the library #in booksbury-upon-tyne which will cost you a £30 round train ticket (if the trains are running ;)) and a three hour journey #(cause were swr and life is a fucking nightmare)#im not doing that for a book im not even sure will be relevant to what im looking for yknow #i guess what im saying is that while i love the concept of libraries #they havent really evolved with the times. theyve been what theyve been for a millenia #and the intellectual value they were built to provide hasnt kept up with the funds theyre actually allocated #now i will say these are kinda complaints specific to me cause im not the biggest fiction reader #and if i am theyre mainly classics so my gripe is more with the proviso of non fiction books #and the variety of them which is incredibly narrow #and i dont drive so the intersection of this with the hellscape that is south englands public transport network also sucks dick and balls #like i realise the library provides a lot of necessary resources for older people and kids and those without internet access etc.#but that does leave a large swathe of people with little to no reason or time to visit the library yknow.#i dont blame the library workers of course but i also dont think its the visitors (customers?) fault #that there isnt a great incentive for them to visit #especially since i have found most of my fave nonfiction books in second hand stores #which would have either cost £80 new or would have been locked ina university library out of reach of the common folk #whatever. ramble ramble yada yada. ev complains again whats new

Yeah... I remember seeing the architectural design majors at my uni having this breakdown each semester...

#love in the air #lita #rain #scriptwriting was the only course within my major famous for making people openly cry #because the professor would eviscerate you with her feedback #not to be mean; but she would look at the feedback you'd already been given by your classmates over and over throughout the course #and if you still hadn't fixed issues she'd really stab into them and rip you apart #she liked me though- i followed the syllabus due dates and no one else did #meaning day 1 i already had a treatment ready by the first class #and even though she told me the syllabus schedule didn't need to be followed; i chose to follow it #because it kept me a week ahead or so #So when I finished each 200+ page draft of my script I was finishing it a week early #which let me focus on other exams in other classes and manage my workload more easily #the only time scriptwriting made me cry was when i spent 6 hours typing draft 6 of a 214 page feature and my computer crashed #erased the whole thing #i'd been typing up the script based on hand notes i'd written on my previous draft so it was easy to recreate #but redoing it took 8 hours since my hands were so tired #but that wasn't the classes fault; that was my fault #i did really well in the class; you just can't take feedback personally and a lot of writers really struggle with that #i've lost so many friends because they claim to be writers who take feedback seriously #and then it turns out they're little bitches about it and throw tantrums after begging me to give them feedback #so now I will not give a friend feedback on anything they write #for the record- the way i was trained is not to be cruel or mean #you literally just go through it like 'here is what I had issues with as a viewer and here are some ideas on how to easily fix that'#always offer a solution #and for every complaint you have to give a complementt #so i'm not out there like gordon ramsey ripping into people; it's very gentle and kind #except when i gave M her round 6 feedback on her script and she STILL insisted Mt Everest was 3 billion years old in her story #AT EVERY STAGE OF THIS SCRIPT I REMINDED YOU IT IS AROUND 30 MILLION YEARS OLD GET IT THROUGH YOUR-

my parents r like 'we have to keep looking for a diagnosis we need to know why you have all these symptoms we gotta keep going to doctors' ok but then actually im the only one in the office getting brushed off or sent to tests that dont do shit 😭i get that they just want me to finally feel better after like 4 years of dealing with a Mystery Illness, i just wish they would acknowledge that its very demanding to hop around doctors and Perform for them in hopes of being treated seriously 😭😭😭 and that i sometimes need a break from The Doctors

#my mom just called to check in abt my lateslt lab results (all normal of course) and she was immediately like OK wHEN IS YOUR NEXT VISIT lik #i just finished an insane round of visits.#like yes i feel bad but i will feel even worse if i dont get a break from the appointMENTSSS AHHHHH

Sorry this is the same anon from before LOL i wanted to clarify something!! When i said incentivize tanking i meant it encourages players to show up to smaller tournaments that they don’t actually intend to put full effort into. Because like you said, the majority of 500s are right around slams/masters! So why would an Iga or Aryna want to go all out in those tournaments knowing that if they’re tired or hurt for the big ones they’re leaving points on the table. It’s just hard on the players all around

Sure, but I mean now we're just back to the scheduling issue which the one thing I think everyone can all agree on (season too long! why 6 mandatory 500s??). But still, I don't necessarily think there's clear incentive to tank 500s for the sake of satisfying the mandatory 6. I just don't think there's any motivation to tank tournaments that are going to count towards your point total anyway, and even if there is, then that's the player's loss (that is, if you're taking the effort to show up, you might as well play). From what we can see, it seems more common for players to just skip 500s entirely if they don't want to play, and accept mandatory zeros.

Of the current top 10 players, only Emma, Dasha, and Bia have actually played 6 or more 500s. I'm pretty sure more of them reached 6 through other means (e.g. Qinwen is allowed to count Ningbo because she did promotional events there, Jess and Elena both have multiple extended periods of inactivity due to injury which might add to their tally). But my point is, I don't think the WTA making it mandatory to play 6 500s even makes much of a difference, because clearly the players are willing to drop points and take mandatory zeros for the sake of scheduling. Which again, circles back to the rather annoying conclusion of "well...those are the rules I guess" when it comes to Iga losing #1.

But the truth is I really don't think any of these players want to tank. Even just going to a 500 event and losing in R1 expends a lot of time and energy. Plus, a lot of these players get first round byes, so they're usually having to stay until mid-week anyway. At that point, I think most of them would rather just skip, take the zero, and prepare for the next tournament. And even if they do go to 500s and tank...then I think that's kind of their problem? Because ultimately they're the one losing out on points. So it could be a strategy employed by some, but it really seems that most of these players prefer skipping to tanking.

#idk. like of course it's hard to evaluate what the general opinion is since i am not a professional athlete #but i also think there's just no strong incentive to tank 500s #i think there IS strong incentive to skip them! which is why you see tournaments like guadalajara and seoul had so many withdrawals #because the players want a break after grand slams so those are the tournaments sacrificed #i just think when you factor in tournament preparation and travel etc etc etc that tanking isn't actually worth it #especially considering the fact that as i mentioend before the 500 draws are getting weaker as more tournaments get added #so if you're showing up as a top seed and might not even play someone ranked in the top 20 until the final...#it just seems kind of like a missed oppourtunity if you tank #but also i do remember some people accused elena of tanking in adelaide so that she could have more time off for AO and look how that went #i think if a player is fatigued enough to consider tanking they would rather just withdraw entirely #but i also think it makes a difference depending on the player because it's easier to play 500s if you're losing earlier in big events #if you lost round 1 of uso then going to guadalajara is a lot easier than if you made the final #idk. i have more thoughts about this because i think it really connects to the entire calendar as well as the more specific scheduling bits #but i dont want to put all of that in the tags #sorry for talking so much

mel c magdalene made me realize what was missing from my magdalene design and it's that she's not fucking jacked. it's crucial to her character

#🧅#literally my takeaway from jcs2012 was mary magdalene's arms. yeah those guys were there too i guess #i think hers might be my favorite portrayal of mary #like. not just because she's jacked i just really liked how jc2012 worked with magdalene #she felt more fleshed out. and i <3 yvonne elliman in this role i always will but lets be so for real in the 1973 movie mary was a sexy lam #character except instead of sexy she was like. sopping wet cat lamp character #i mean i think she was also sexy. but that's beside the point this post is not about how attractive i find yvonne elliman #or mel c #well it kind of is about how attractive i find mel c #whatever. my point is it was the 70s and she was a female character. so like. you get it !#and i feel like a lot of the time magdalene is very girlbossified in a way that makes her very one dimensional #without EVER her appearing masculine of course because god forbid the one female character does not appear to the male gaze #(well originally female character anyways. today genderbend casting is a thing and it fucks)#it's either she's a Girl Disciple (no further elaboration) or she's like. a girlboss stone hearted biker gang leader leather jacket queen #(no actual further elaboration but her one 'ooh i love this man and i dont know how to show it' solo tricks you into thinking there is)#while 2012 magdalene somehow seems much more well rounded to me.#they let her be herself more. idk. that's how i interpreted it at least. in my mind.#it's like. i feel many other marys i've seen are described by how they treat jesus (and sometimes judas)#but this one still feels present even when jesus is not around. or he is but she's not interacting with him.#again this is a very specific interpretation that clicked in my brain im not saying that jcs2012 like. did some groundbreaking feminist #portrayal of magdalene. but yknow !#she also didn't acknowledge judas' existence once while he had created some weird one sided beef with her which was. very funny to me #literally did not waste a glance at him.

My DM after having been adding features to my character on DnDBeyond: oh my GOD you have so many weapons how do you have so many weapons good grief

As if he, playing all the Shopkeeps, wasn’t the one selling them all to me 😂

#I mean I get it he is running an entire universe of course he doesn’t remember everything every one of his players owns #but it was still a really funny interaction he was SO flabbergasted that I had this many weapons #buddy I am playing Literal Murderbot #and my friends need protecting #I spend most of my money on More Things To Protect My Friends With #like you’re counting this up after I’ve lost probably 10 hand axes already when I couldn’t recover my thrown weapons after battle #and yes I narrate picking up my thrown weapons and my DM decid s if I recover anything #he’s let me recover thrown items I was SURE were lost in the battle #like I’ve used up 10 handaxes in a single battle and thought they were all lost because I missed half my throws #and he grants me collecting 8 out of ten since I rolled high on an investigation check to look over the battlefield and gather them #so I have a crazy stash #I am here to keep my friends alive and literally nothing else #I have one job #I am security and I’ll die on this hill any and every time #every time I get paid for something I buy more consumable weapons #I need to be able to chuck something across the battlefield at the thing that’s attacking my buddy #i couldn’t care less about what’s attacking ME #I’ve put enough of my stats into/taken enough feats that I can presumably last a whole battle regardless of what’s biting me rn #so I can spend my action to demolish the threats to my friends #and ignore whatever has been chewing on my shoulder for three rounds #dungeons and dragons #dnd #murderbot

Various images of things

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that --#1. PIBBINS.... cheering clapping hooting hollering glorious applause everytime I see a pigeon in public #2. Birthday card that I drew for someone. .. kittys...#3. 2023's annual haul of tiny white pumpkins.. i get at least one white pumpkin every year around fall when they have pumpkins in stores #because I just love the color and texture ... bright white and smooth and cold and round.. kind of like a volleyball or something #4. A brief adventure into watching big brother (only earlier seasons of course as I hate all reality shows post like 2013 or something when #they became overly focused on social media and overproduced memeable phrases more.. like even though ALL reality shows have always #been extremely fake and annoying and mindless it's like..... newer stuff seems A Different Kind Of Fake or something) since whenever #I'm sick sometimes I find weird mindless things like that to watch (that one time I had bronchitis I watched all of Flavor of Love in my #half awake illness stupor and now everytime I heat up canned minestrone soup (mostly all I ate that week) I think of flavor flav since #thats just a weird brain connection I have now lol) ANYWAY.. I was sick and watched like 2 seasons of this and then thought it was too #uninteresting and obnoxious to continue (more like 1 and a half since I skipped the rest of one once only boring people were left) BUT this #one guy had a very mischevious looking face and he also said a few things (like the above captioned speech) that sounded like dialogue #some fantasy character would say.. so I took a screencap of him and edited him into a mischevious wizard i guess.?? idk I was sick lol #~your little friend has a poisoned tongue~ is just a very unexpectedly serious sounding wording for some random normal #frat dude looking guy to say while casually chatting on a reality tv show in like 2008 or whenever that was filmed lol #5. FLUFFY CLOVERS!! I'd never seen them be furry and soft before?? inchresting..#6. Noodle sitting in bed with the cat figurines looming above him... the council of kittys...#7. McDonald's full breakfast platter + asparagus + strawberries & cream (also of course this is old and I am now boycotting mcdonalds etc)#i try to group the images somewhat consistently like.. winter stuff with winter stuff or summer stuff with summer stuff #but I have so many random pictrues floating around on my computer that I never post that sometimes some are not organized or just #thrown into a set because there's nowhere else for them. Like the pigeon picture is from like 3 years ago for example lol #8 & 9 - I think I've posted these before but I just find them very interesting looking flowers. whenever they happen to be blooming #I'll pick up a few when I'm out on walks or etc. ... poof ball looking things #photo diary
