Blue does NOT Give a Damn. he walked up to Anka and sniffed his face. while Anka was actively hissing the whole time. and then just walked away without a care.
#i was supervising but i think Anka is just posturing bc the only thing he did was hiss#despite blue putting his face up next to his#which is a very good sign#i mean the hissing isnt GOOD but he didnt swipe or growl#and hes just eyeing him now#so#i think i will only let him out while im here and awake for now#so i can watch them#so when i sleep ill lock him up still ir if im out of the house#but this is progress#shh ac#old man blue#anka the banshee

I SEEEEEEEE a lot#also. when i was in australia there was a literary festival happening and i signed up to see a panel with cs pacat in it#but she unfortunately had to cancel :((( it was still a very good panel though. naomi novik was there#(i started reading a czech copy of temeraire years ago but didn't get very far in at all im sorry)#anyway ive been wanting to draw this since may. but travel and artfight happened a lot#and now that i finally got around to it it's been a STRUGGLE#translating how i see them in my head to paper. poses not working as i want. scrapping an entire lineart i spent several hours on#but i think i captured the exact vibes i wanted in the end...!!#please enjoy it

*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

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ
.
#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so!#it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat#Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case#I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does#I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature#and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame#I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing#sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird#but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work#and how they shape things they come in contact with#in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character#and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know#answered#kachavashka#Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name#I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!
wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end
#yeah im too sleepy to revise this. UNFILTERED posting wooahh#some may b shocked but i do actually read thru most of my posts several times to make sure i didnt accidentally write mein kampfe 2#recently ive come to the realization that i am in fact not an incredibly chill person#and that the constant paranoia and fear in which i live my life is actually PROBABLY a symptom of severe anxiety#like damn. ive always known that im pretty prone to depression but ive preetty much always been aware of that#my mom is a chronic depressive so i know the symptoms i know the signs i have a pretty good arsenal of healthy coping mechanisms#UNFORTUNATELY mommy's mental health problems did not help her not abuse me as a child#so i ended up being a terribly anxious kid who was constantly being screamed at and told i was overreacting (because i was. because i had#a severe anxiety problem that was making me react irrationally.) to everything all the time#which is you know. it is VERY difficult to deal with a mental health problem when you arent aware you have a problem!#its incredible how much. better. my life has gotten since i figured this out and started actively trying to work out what triggers it#and being able to like. realize 'oookay. there is an Issue here and it needs to be overcome'#instead of just beating on myself constantly for not being able to do things without feeling sick or getting breathing problems!#anyways. trauma dumping in tags is over now!#house md#hilson#greg house#james wilson#stacy warner

climbed a couple of mountains and found a couple of frogs yesterday!
#oops haven't posted a photo of me on here in forever and i cant remember what tag i used for them#rose image#maybe#anyway neither frog showed visible signs of chytrid which is good (very difficult to tell by eye even in late stages of infection though)#it was a very long and hilly hike and my legs hurt today

i have something i felt the need to mention ... my little bun bun has seemed somewhat off to me all week, but since animals are prey animals, they try really hard to hide any illness/pain. eventually i just decided to trust my intuition and i took her to the vet yesterday. vet mentioned a few possibilities after some tests but we're pretty sure it's a UTI. lil bun bun is on antibiotics and a few other medications for twelve days. she's still eating lots of hay, has energy (slightly reduced from what i'm used to seeing, but not awful), and other good signs, so i'm feeling a lot more positive about it than i was before. i'm really hoping it'll clear up and she'll be nice and healthy.
this of course means getting slam dunked with vet bills. it's already at 700 USD and will be going 📈 if she requires more treatment. i'll be opening up commissions at some point in the future, but for now, anything sent to my ko-fi will go towards not drowning in rabbit bills.
thank you so much for reading this 💖 she's my little writing buddy who either hops around or lays down and silently judges what she sees on my screen. please send her your good vibes or consider rbing this post !!! 🐰💖💖💖
#i continue the job search but until then anime characters must tide me over financially.#today the bun bun's doing better#she's laid on her stomach which is a good sign#since rabbits avoid doing that if they have a UTI#she's also been very good about taking her medication#i'm a proud mama.#lock.txt

bbc: Some sweet #Silvacre content for your FYP ❤️
#silvacre#suranne jones#rose leslie#vigil#the bbc making a silvacre fan edit was a pleasant surprise :)#i saw the streaming numbers for vigil 2 were very good (understatement)#which makes an s3 at least a possibility#if they can write a story suranne and rose would sign on for#i'm counting on what suranne said that the continuation of the love story is a big part of what brought her back#the series does a good job creating dramatic tension and conflict within a happy relationship that doesn't involve cheating or one dying#if they do a 3rd season i hope that continues#i mean the series started with amy in the worst possible place emotionally and psychologically so surely they wouldn't go there again#s2 with its wlw mlm solidarity/parallel storyline and giving us more insight into amy and how far she's come since s1#on top of all the other things i liked this season (which i enjoyed quite a bit in addition to the ship)#at heart it's very critical of the british government and military/war machine and some reviews seem to have missed that part#anyway i'm pleased as punch that a prestige bbc drama has two women in love at its center and a lead as compelling as amy#and that it's pulling in the numbers even without the submarine and claustrophobia (admittedly a cool premise)#keep making the fanvids bbc social media team we appreciate you#queue

absolutely into the idea of keeping the big, chunky, really bleak ink artstyle for subjects that don't deserve it. lit the same way, shaded the same way. like. remember that post i made an age ago about nick and gloria winning a 5 cap noodle giftcard at the diamond city halloween costume contest because she wore a big cruddy robot suit and he dressed like a normal guy for a day. didn't even know he was in it. furious. that. that but in a noir comic artstyle. imagine
#fo4#fallout 4#nick valentine#gloria roche#dead man talking#dead woman walking#i don't know if out of genre is the right word but an extremely stupid sideroad within the genre#dww is very bleak but at one point nick strips naked and punches an emu. you see my vision right#intentional bathos#i have another one page strip planned that made me laugh which is a good sign

idk why there's so much discussion around the ~*morality of traumadumping*~ when it's a VERY solvable social conundrum. all you need to do is ask something like "hey is it ok if i talk about this thing? it's kind of heavy" and respect the answer
#it's both very normal and good to talk to people about stuff that's weighing on you#AND it can be very uncomfortable to have someone unload a lot of really heavy things at you at once without warning#this is not a zero sum game?#?????????????#i guess sometimes the problem is that ppl have a different measure for what counts as 'traumadumping'#i personally associate it w the time i was a volunteer at a summer camp and one of the teens asked me if they could get my advice#and when i was like yeah sure they proceeded to tell me their entire life story which involved several deaths and horrible things#which left me in a very awkward position of Um What Did You Want My Advice For Specifically#but like i was fine!! i was the Responsible Adult who had signed up for this#and they were a teen who needed someone to listen to them!!

— And do you or do you not have difficulty remembering such simple instructions? — Only during thunderstorms, sir.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) / DARK SHADOWS (1966)
#don't mind me just absolutely insane about the possibility (probability!) that vicki saw tsom the year before coming to collinwood.#the boom mic in the stairs shot is always cracking me up.#finally me and you and you and me just us and your friend steve (the boom mic operator)#➤ roger collins & victoria winters. ┊ pain sometimes precedes pleasure,miss winters.#gifs.#➤ edits & art. ┊ the evans cottage art gallery.#➤ roger collins. ┊ I and my ghosts want a drink.#➤ victoria winters. ┊ because she’s lost and lonely. because she looks in shadows.#there's obviously far; far less of a christian overtone in ds — but i wonder if you couldn't make the argument that it isn't also#on some level about belief?#belief; namely; in the ghosts that roger resists and vicki with both arms embraces;#faith in the not-so-minor deity liz stoddard; choosing to follow her doctrine even in the face of conflicting truth.#one might consider collinsport a faithful congregation taking sermons from the mount — from the mouth of the reclusive ascetic;#conveyed by loyal (devastatingly; sacrificially loyal) disciples.#and vicki; searching for belonging; for a home; for a family; falls very lamb-like into the flock.#all old gods of course demand their sacrifices in blood: burke; namely; but also matthew; bill; roger (so-attempted)#if i were pushing it (which I always am) you could go so far as to say collinwood's son rises from the tomb.#''but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night'' etc etc. demanding; first; sacrificial livestock; then virgin blood.#anyway! I digress.#''they say confession is good for the soul. well; my soul needs purifying.''#vicki as the prototypical virgin — the clean slate without history; clear water with neither dirt nor blood —#in which roger cleanses himself (somewhat forcefully!); to wash away guilt and suspicion;#the force of virtue that prevents the intrusion of sin; either through the wood of the confessional or very literally at her bedroom door.#''an innate sense of goodness'' etc; besides being something of a conduit between this world and the next:#re. the seances; the appearances of josette and bill; the various and varied encounters with supernatural; the time travel;#as one might expect of an angel ... or a saint. and one could argue that she goes on to restore roger's faith —#if not in the goodness of the world at large; then the existence of goodness; or in the worth of belief itself.#anyway. long way of saying i love man x his governess whether it's catholic or satanic. sign me up.

So are we just playing “send Shima quick doodle prompts to shake off the rust”?
In that case, you can never go wrong with toothcup
AUGH...AUGUGHHG...
I haven't drawn them in YEARS thank you for this
Also like. I know initially my idea was that human Toothless could talk regularly like everyone else. But mute Toothless who can sign is also......so good......
This is Perry's fault for poisoning my brain /j
#HTTYD#How To Train Your Dragon#Hiccup#Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III#Toothless#Toothcup#Human Toothless#I actually DO have thoughts about this.#So this AU...I guess it is an AU now--Toothless and the other dragons can shapeshift between human and dragon form#Which is like. Considered a rarity. And a privilege for dragons#The only drawbacks is that they kinda stick out...they retain a lot of their dragon-like qualities#Which makes it tricky to blend in with humans if that is the goal. But most dragons with this ability manage (if they choose to do so)#It varies from dragon to dragon ofc. But Toothless is one of the few who just CAN'T speak as a human#He's tried. But it sounds like a garbled mess lol#Some of the other dragons have a much better grasp on the human language and how to actually speak#But it's cool bc Hiccup teaches Toothless sign and that's how they communicate#NOW. The difference between Perry and Toothless is that generally Perry is very quiet. Kinda comes with the territory of being an agent#Toothless on the other hand. He's very loud. Even if he's mute#I mean yes he CAN be quiet if he wants. Night Fury duh. He's very good at stealh#*stealth#BUT if he's not focusing on being sneaky he's actually quite rambunctious lol#He may not be able to talk! But he sure does make a lot of other noises!! Most very dragon-like!!#Hiccup unconsciously mimics Toothless every now and then. It is VERY cute#Shima arts#ANYWAY I'm done rambling now lol thank you for giving me the excuse to draw them <3333#Doodles#Art#Digital art#shima-draws

Attire mission: Purchase premium attire to get an extended romantic story!
Me: *on Liam's route* Romantic my ass! This is a tragedy
#THEY KEEP GETTING SADDER!#also apparently by definition romances need to have a happy ending#so if the main couple isn’t together by the end and/or it's sad then it's a tragedy#ikedevs weren't fucking around when the first play I went to with Liam was Romeo and Juilet!#which is a very famous tragedy!#and Don Quixote is about a delusional man trying to be the main character of his idealized story#or something like that I feel like there's some symbolism in that#and in the Hunchback of Notre Dame it was already obvious in the route how it fits in but Esmerelda dies at the end#and Quasimodo cried until he died#I don’t know shit about Wuthering Heights but considering everything else it might have some meaning there too#I had thought the devs weren't paying attention to contents of the books/plays they were picking#when first hearing them bring up Don Quixote and Romeo and Juliet but now I'm thinking it was very much on purpose#and I just hadn't know what story I was signing up for#I thought it was going to be yandere or corruption arc#I didn’t realize the dark part was tragedy!#so anyway I'm good now#and yeah it was chapter 14 I just finished#ikevil#ikemen villains#liam evans#ikevil liam#ikevil spoilers#rant
