I hope you dont mind but, you're very good at drawing two people blending together, do you have any advice or tips for drawing something as simple as hugs?

use references!!! and when you draw figures interacting closely, some (or lots) of the body will get covered up by the other, but i think it really helps with posing to draw the complete figure. being able to see the whole form helps u gauge the 3d space the body occupies and how it should rest on/push/pull/interact with other objects

and from a composition standpoint, i think being able to break up each element and see its whole shape makes it easier to decide what to stylize or keep, and where it's OK to bend or break anatomy haha

the key to enjoying the magnus archives is understanding that every single person is a bitch. name a character and i can tell you right now they have the most petty bitchy tendencies. you have to understand that all of these characters are absolutely insufferable bitches and there's nothing any of us can do except say slay king live your truth. they served cunt and if innocents died along the way that's none of my business thank you

What drives me even more insane about this scene is how you'd expect Gojo to imagine High school era! Geto in the crowd. Or at least not the cult leader, worst of all the curse users Geto Suguru. But no, it's the cult leader Geto. It's Geto as Gojo last remembered him. As Geto last was. Whatever choices Geto made, wherever his choices led him and them, however he was, whoever he was, traumas and messed up ideas and bad choices and ill reputations and scorns and all. Gojo wanted Geto Suguru there. Not any ideal version. Not any "what if" version. Not any "at some point in time before things went downhill" version. Not any "when your hands weren't stained with innocent blood" version. He knew very well what he wanted. And he wanted it all the same. He wanted Geto Suguru. However he was. He just wanted him to be there. He just wanted him to be.

And he didn't want him to help him, he didn't want him to fight with him even if they were strongest together and always fought together for a while. He just wanted him to be there in the crowd and cheer him on. He just wanted him to stand there and give him one of his sweet, heartwarming smiles that shaped his eyes into crescent moons. He just wanted him to be. Then even if Gojo had died in the end anyway, he would have been satisfied. It would have been worth it. Only if Geto was there.

i really can not stand the “fandom is so fun we’re all just projecting and making shit up” thing. because no i actually deeply admire the canon of my favorite media and all the intention and care and craft put into it. we are not the same.

as promised—Rock zombie!Viva, JD, and Floyd for chapter 13 of the World Tour swap! Not to toot my own horn or anything but I'm amazed at how well these turned out

I'm always so impressed about your knowledge of dog breeds and how that relates to your ocs and their time period tbh

Why, thank you! I'm not that knowledgeable though, I know there's some actual dog professionals reading my posts and it always makes me feel a little sheepish.

I'm just an interested hobbyist, and since all of this relates to the original characters I hold so dear and how their world works, I feel like it's my obligation to have at least passable understanding of this stuff.

physics is great, the physicists say things like "for the first fourteen point two bajillionoths of a second the universe was made entirely of bananas. and then the fruit field collapsed and for the next twelve nanoblinks there were only electrons and apricots" and i just go "that's great, tell me more" and yet despite the temptation to do so i don't think they're even trolling me, i think the thing about the fruit field might actually be true. or have been true for fourteen gigaquadillionths of a second after the big bang. aren't we lucky that happened or we'd all just be made of bananas? what a strange universe we inhabit.

wilson saying “I need to do this. for you.” is fucking insane actually. in the same episode where house is deciding whether or not he should commit suicide as a result of wilson’s dying. They are each other’s lines between life and death. humans have a biological instinct to preserve their survival at all costs; house has an addiction that governs his life. but they were willing to forgo all of it for one another, because they couldn’t fathom it being any other way. IM SICK

offering of the true witch

"I bless this half a hotdog and the rest of these Cheetos under the sun, so they are filled with vitality. I bless this half a hotdog and these Cheetos under the moon, so their ethereal bodies reflect into the spirit world as the full moon illuminates the night sky.

Now at this time, here in this place, I give these offerings to the spirit of this tree, which I will identify as soon as I can get back to cell range and use iNaturalist.

[Use finger or stick to draw doorway sigil into the soil; you can also trace it if the earth can't be drawn in]

I take the spirit of these offerings, illuminated by the Sun and Moon, and as a Shepherd I guide them into the spirit world. The spirit of the hotdog walks through the doorway. The spirit of the Cheetos walks through the doorway.

I send the vital energy of these things into the spirit world, as a gift for the spirits. Let the sustenance of this food enter the spirit world, so that it becomes like ash in the mouths of beast and men. Let it become whole and fruitful for the spirits.

The offerings have walked through the doorway, and now they lie at the feet of the spirits. Let these offerings take any form that is desired. Let them become the finest food and drink. And let the spirits partake in peace, unto their greatest satisfaction.

This food I now hold in my hands is empty. Like a cloud it holds shape but no substance. The true offering is within the spirit world.

[Erase the door, or "wipe off" the visualized door]

The offering has been delivered. The door has been closed."

[Gather up physical offering remnants and depart]

Sometimes I think about Aventurine in the moment he first discovered his Pathstrider abilities. The moment he first realized he could shield not only himself but also others. The very first moment he realized he could be a source of safety, rather than a burden--than a curse.

Sometimes I think about the hatred he must have felt for himself in that instant.

Where was this power when their camps were burned to the ground with every last one of their meager possessions? Where was this power when his mother died begging as he cowered, playing dead in a bath of the blood of everyone he knew?

Where was this power when his sister stood tall, a silhouette against the lightning, and used her body as the shield? Where was this power in the maze, when it could have spared the screaming child who was the first to die?

You could have saved them. You could have saved them. You could have saved them.

Glad I picked up the lore books because Dreamers can see the future and its nowhere on the wiki lol (p.37 of vol. II)

That puts Solas's meltdown and the actions of past powerful somniari into perspective a lot more

The whole excerpt feels like DA:V foreshadowing. Here's parts of it:

Immense magical power seems to go hand in hand with ego and the idea of exploiting one's fate, or somehow avoiding it, reliably comes up sooner or later.

Even when the future can be known, it's those who are born with the gift, like Darinius himself, who are most likely to bleed for it.

This, I think, is the best possible argument to not meddle with the future: whenever someone tries, the Maker sees to it that the outcome is as ironic as possible.
