so glad ppl like my angel lady I love her too. here is a quick doodle of her in a more modern outfit bc the og was made before we got to see raph 😭
#smudgy.png#obey me#obey me oc#om oc#oc posting#ive started so many pics already i probably shouldnt line & color this..... however#listne i just. love her so much u dotn understand#i dont even have much abt her character i just rly like her design & vibe sfdhfbsbc#in the human world shed wear such pretty dresses#shed be all abt frills & puffs & bright colors#cute prints w summer/spring motifs#like kind of a retro vibe maybe a bit ms frizzle#i think shed be a summer person but definitely appreciates the fact that the human realm isnt constantly sunshine like the cr#probably likes the devildom for the same reason: she likes new & different things#i imagine being chosies friend she gets sent down there occasionally to check on them (& to look for ceru whenever they go missing)#i forgot she has a partner too!! who i named ruth bc. teehee#theyre there to keep her out of trouble since shes not much for fighting if it comes to it. more uses her powers for self defense#which isnt always effective#i never got their design down.. i should get on that 🤔 (<- he cannot stop drawing ever or he turns to dust)#noelle#<- THATS HER TAG I FORGOT. naomi was another name i was considering for her 😭#hence ruth for her partner. oaughhhh

What have you done?
based on an idea @username8746489 had where sylvie discovered nightmare fuel for the first time on accident while getting bullied by some older kids (and pushing him further into social isolation now that he's known as "that scary kid who could summon someone's worst fear")
#♦️charlie's art#epithet erased#sylvester ashling#sylvie ashling#ok i have a lot to yap about here hold on#this was a challenge to make since i was imagining it with no dialogue and limited colors i hope i pulled it off#because of those two things something i had to think a lot about was how the color progression changes the mood#I wasn't originally gonna add that last panel with the aftermath but un suggested the idea of the bullies being vague shadowy figures#initially until sylvie realizes what he did and is forced to see that “that was a real person with their own fears and insecurities”#so then they're drawn more detailed#sylvie and the bullies also aren't in the same panels together until the last one because he's just so below them that he isnt worthy of#sharing equal space with them. these kids are highschoolers. if sylvie wants to look at them he'll always have to look up#and also because i was struggling with their height difference#i hope the second page doesn't make it look too much like sylvie summoned a fire 😭 it kinda helps with the mood but what he summoned is#supposed to be ambiguous and i dont want it to look like i was born yesterday and think nightmare fuel ONLY summone fire#but its hard to make it NOT look like fire when i can only work with orange#the lineart starts out clean and gets messier as the conflict progresses to represent a lack of control#and also it creates kind of a shakey/unstable effect which emphasizes sylvie's fear#also unintentional but i think the second page having detailed shading emphasizes the mood changes. this just got SERIOUS#oh also i used the mizu5 untrained as a color reference thats fun#ALSO SYLVIE DIDN'T KILL ANYONE im just realizing the one curled up in the last panel could be interpreted that way#that's not what i was going for#this might be unrealistic...... but we also know so little about sylvie's backstory that who's to say for sure IDK LET ME MAKE MY FAV SUFFER

I got so insanely mad while drawing this


+ closeup and normalness
#alek art#zane julien#previous master of ice#ninjago#lego ninjago#2024#aka the scene i wish we got in snake jaguar ...#zane is like 30 here#im mostly thinking about dr juliens perspective on this night. we have very little to go off of but he was very weirded out#random very sick old man shows up at your door and takes an “interest” in your son. he isnt even over for an entire day. with him comes col#he was striken with winter and something about him felt off. he leaves without a word. after his arrival your son begins acting weird.#then another old man arrives. asking for your son. wonder what happened there#for anything about passing on powers or losing them its always some big event... hm#i think the previous master really did need shetler. we know he was old and died shortly after the power giving. i dont know what about#zane caught his eye. i do think its very interesting that this man of few words was so obviously fascinated that dr julien noticed.#dr julien isnt the most socially aware and in the little bit he said about the previous master... he sounded concerned#imagine weirding out the weirdest man alive#i think zane caught on too. he felt eyes on him the entire night. they ate dinner with the man.. gave him shelter... but he felt he wanted#more. sometime that day he gave zane the power of ice. which effectively changed the course of his entire life. zane and dr julien hadnt a#clue what happened. 'yesterday a man arrived' so not even within a day did he see zane and decide that he was the one#thinking about how zane acting like his self now is 'strange' and was out of the ordinary. what was he like before? how do you even pass a#power down. we see people get their powers stolen and its always a spectacle and its so exhausting and so on. how did dr julien not see#anything. there was no questions? he just noticed the previous master found his son interesting and then he left ?#goddddd im insane i wanna write a fic about zane pre series

#whats up guys. im. normal <3#claudia is and always has been my favourite and its for many reasons#but most of those reasons are admittedly the resonances i find between her anthy and nanami#oh nobody else will do it has to be you we're really in it now#there's also something here about 'which one of you gonna fuck me?' and claudia running away in s1 and ikuhara's running away anecdote#and all of nanami in 31 and 32. like that's peak claudia nanamiisms#and i also like how these comparisons tease out a difference between anthy and nanami. that nanami has to learn to go at it alone#and yes anthy does this as well but anthy does it believing in the value and possibility for earnest connection#and thats the tenjou utena effect really isnt it#what 'my immortal companion is claudia. my coven is claudia' does to a mfer#not maintagging this bc its for ME ok????? i had a moment the other night#her tragedy her triumph

When do you think the remaining episodes will be released and if they will be released at all?
I think they will be released when they are finished :)
#ask#i do think it was a bad call for martin to say they were all going to be out in february. I never believed that for a second#because that's way too much work to expect from what is effectively one guy in such a short timeframe#I really wish he would stop giving release dates. even tentative ones tbh#i know that's what a lot of people want to hear but it just isn't helpful or productive and he always gives dates like a month or two into-#-the future which isnt realistic#he doesn't need to be like a walten files workmule i just want him to work on them when he wants to and to enjoy making them and to release#-them when they are finished

14, 17, and 23 :)
Wahh thanks pal :D
14. What were your go-to writing songs?
Lots of Deco*27, Kenshi Yonezu, Eve, and other various jpop artists – upbeat songs with lyrics that don’t tempt me to sing along are my go-to! When I did need something a bit calmer, I liked finding extended UTDR tracks to vibe to. Castle town and Fucking. Rouxls Kaard shop really hit the spot a lot 😂
17. Share your favorite opening line
I feel like I have opening paragraphs/sections that I really like, but there are fewer individual opening lines that felt the same. Three of my favorites:
Mikoto was no criminal. (< guy who murdered people.)
You are always, always talking about yourself.
Mikoto could pick up on someone’s bad mood from a mile away, though the skill was unnecessary when the other party very clearly and calmly informed him, “I’m in a bad mood.”
23. If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?
There were a few moments of feedback/collaboration that come to mind, but it feels braggy to talk about that lol so I’ll stick with an actual writing process thing. Although it’ll probably still take another fucking year of progress, but I started a choose-your-own adventure fic and it’s felt like a huge accomplishment to explore and succeed in a new writing medium out of my usual comfort zone!
#i know you know who mikoto is at this point asdfsd but the clarification was still funny to me#it was so wild looking through how many one shots id written this year :0#and yeah i have a whole playlist of ~100 songs i loop on like a daily basis asdfsdf#i can share if anyones curious but thats the gist of it lol#the 'you are always talking about yourself' fic actually isnt written in second person pov which is part of the reason i like the line#and im always adding in cheesy bookends to fics but that one has been one of the most satisfying i think#adding my braggyness down here lol but it was always such a special feeling when collaborating with friends#seeing art/writing inspired from mine#i just about died when my favorite cover singer sang my translyrics for my birthday#getting into the zine and seeing my printed fic was a huge experience#and ive received a few heartfelt comments about the effect my writing had on someone that reminded me why i love the craft so much#thanks for the questions :D#ask

Just got a savefile in this week's DU cycle titled "The Trophy Husbands" cuz that's literally all it is and it's so funny. I'm just here sitting and clicking barely anything as the bosses drop like flies.
#ariambles#i love du Sometimes (only sometimes cuz there are cycles that is So Shit which doesnt help with my alrdy ass rng luck)#for this cycle i needed remembrance. preservation. harmony. and abundance to get the full effect of the weighted curio#but i got worried seeing the argenti boss cuz i always fight him using my own argenti (much easier that way for me)#and my trailblazer isnt That properly built but i was like: its du so maybe itd be fine#trailblazer 1st slot. then sunday. then luocha. and finally geppie to complete the weighted curio requirement#and it wasnt until halfway through the run did i realize that the blessings and equations is set up for hunt characters#so its all about Speed. and if theres anything that my stelle has. its speed. which... combined with the equations and all the#blessings i got... resulted in a savefile where all stelle literally needs to do is get mem out. basic atk. basic atk. mem atk.#sunday e to action advance her. ultimate. basic atk. advanced with mem. basc atk. mem atk. battle end#sunday was just there to cheer her on. luocha was just there to have his field up for the atk buff (e2 effect). and geppie did Nothing#geppie was literally just 🧍♂️ tbf i only needed him for the preservation requirement but he did NOTHING AT ALL#cuz the enemies kept dying too quickly before his turn even started. the only time he got One(1) attack was at the start before#i got all my blessings which is both Fair and Unfair cuz at least he did Something but that was before any equations activated

seeing the idea that haz/bin and hell/uva should've taken place in an alternate universe instead of being connected canon and honestly i'm not sure i disagree now. i do wonder how much stuff they've locked themselves entirely out of using in both shows because of legal issues. its already kind of noticeable + not super thrilled with the idea that in order to fully understand the lore there's 2 shows you'd have to consume that aren't allowed to directly refer to each other
#not tagging this one thats why theres slashes this ultimately isnt a big deal honestly just thinking out loud#lucifers absence is already glaringly awkward in mastermind#like literal king of hell btw we are going to avoid saying anything too specific or showing imagery of our interpretation of lucifer#because we arent allowed#and now literally every sin other than lucifer is spent on hell/uva instead of hazbin#which had a direct reference to bephelgor before she even turned up in helluva#and ik its not as big of a deal for a show constrained entirely to the pride ring#but i wonder sometimes if it was worth it#surely evening out the distribution of important figures in demonology between the shows would've been better though#like every sin except pride and prominent ars goetia are stuck in helluva now who are like. a huge deal in hells hierarchy in this show#ofc theres always more demonology to pull from but yknow yknow. its awkward. the sins and the goetia are important#powerful figures but entirely absent from the heaven vs hell conflict which could effect all of them eventually#im sure they can figure out how to crossover one day honestly but is the process for that even worth it atp#like again there are bigger issues im just thining abt this rn for some reason

It would be one thing if it was just a popular headcanon but I’m so tired of fans acting like it’s actually official canon that Ryu is asexual which not only has Capcom has never stated that but there are numerous examples of Ryu fighting off his urdges because he’s trying to save his dick for Buddha
#sorry for ruining your sacred semen retention warrior bro#ryu is supposed to embody the Japanese heroic ideal while Ken represents the opposite#an ideal that stems from an ancient patriarchal religion that portrays all women as evil temptresses#that are trying to drag you away from enlightenment#which had the hilarious side effect of causing a bucket load of Japanese men to engage in homosexualy during midevil times#if capcom ever actually does pair him up with the opposite sex I don’t want to deal with the meltdown from virgin nerds#accusing the company of being acephobic or some shit#I have not recovered from the reaction to Master Chief getting laid#I wouldn’t care so much if they didn’t always do this with characters that have a infamous history of gay subtext#and use this as an excuse to shut down any mention of it#🤓”Akshually Ryeou can’t be a homo because he’s officially a”NO HE F***ING ISNT#On another note maybe Ryu has to practice extreme self control because his dick is so big he’ll pass out from blood loss to his brain#Dude can not risk getting an erection during a fight

Congratulations to Taz “Human HeartEyes Emoji” Skylar for charming me into rooting for Sanji in his romantic pursuits for the very first time. Never in my life did I think I’d feel sympathy watching Sanji, of all characters, get rejected by a woman, but he played his little moments with Nojiko and Nami so genuinely that I was like no! Dont feel bad! You’ll get them next time, love!
#I think its definitely because it comes across as more of a charming quirk than an Actual Problem#his chivalry isnt that very real mental barrier in how he interacts with other human beings that leads him to do unsavory things#which was true for animanga East Blue Sanji as well! but even back then his charm was always exaggerated with the wiggling and the yelling#When its played this earnestly and straight its more effective to me. Like he’s just a sappy guy. Just a silly little guy#black leg sanji#opla#one piece#my post

The only thing that genuinely sucks about working on this comic is I can't share frequent WIPs without fucking. Spoiling the whole thing. Anyways look at my totally normal and totally happy BeefGeef.
#wipposting#undescribed#dude the style difference between the first page and all the others is gonna be so funny#half tempted to re-line everything with what i did get done as a base but like. ehhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck that it already took me way too long#to just. edit the lines. what i have down for the first page isnt even bad so whatever ill live#<- i think the most noticeable change was how i drew pico bc i draw wyd!Pico's design noticably different to canon Pico's#honestly bf and gf are still really close to how i drew them just with some miinor stylization changes. which is just what happens#when you draw a specific way even consistently. ur always making tiny changes or figuring out ways to do something more effectively

"katara trying to relate to aang by mentioning her mother dying was bad" well her mother died because of ethnic cleansing and genocide which is what aang's people went through. hope that helps!
#I DEFEND EHR WITH MY LIFE ALWAYS#i havent even wstched this show in years.#i just always defend katara. its in my blood#this isnt to say its the same trauma#just that yes. to a degree katara's experience is similar#and she was trying to comfort by relating#which. u can debate its effectiveness#but u cant deny that 1. there IS a degree of similarity#and 2. u wouldnt have been better as a 14 year old LMFAOOOOO

I want to practice make up and get better at it but doing it gives me a feeling so complicated.
not gender dysphoria, but gender disappointment.
#page posts#its like ny default gender is none#minimal make up is femme#but anything that becomes bold makes me feel like im doing drag#which isnt always a negative feeling#but is often the undesired effect

you guys dont understand how much splatoon means to me. you will never understand
#will ALWAYS preach it has some of the best worldbuilding in anything i've ever fucking seen#especially in a video game. and ESPECIALLY a video game which isnt purely story-focused#splatoon's world feels so PAINFULLY fucking real its hard to even describe. the level of detail when it comes to LITERALLY everything#is insane. and thats only amplified when you're someone who's been playing it for a long time and has seen this world change in real time#i will always adore how time passes the same in splatoon's world as it does in real life. however long it's been since the last game came#out - thats how long its been in splatoon's world! characters are constantly changing and doing new things and taking on new roles#AND of course. the final splatfests making it so player input has a direct and pivotal effect on the setting and plot of the next game.#SO fucking cool and insane. like what other piece of media is like that#because of things like that and the worldbuilding and everything i also think that splatoon has one of the most seamless transitions#between singleplayer and multiplayer modes. a lot of times in games esp with stories those modes feel very disconnected#but in splatoon things that you do in singleplayer modes have an actual EFFECT on the world of multiplayer#i will never forget. how cool it felt when octo expansion came out and suddenly octolings started popping up in multiplayer#because in the irl sense. of course they were! people were beating that singleplayer mode and unlocking the ability to play as octolings#in multiplayer. but in-universe THIS IS ACTUALLY WHATS HAPPENING!!!! after your agent 8 escapes more octolings follow in their footsteps#and it is an actual noticeable cultural shift in the world of splatoon with it being talked about on the news and stuff#and this story of octolings coming to the surface and integrating into inkling society works perfectly because its not just something#you're hearing about. you are actually seeing IN REAL TIME octolings start to populate the city and matches because REAL PLAYERS are#playing as them. fitting perfectly into that narrative being created. its soooooo fucking good#anyways sorry i just love splatoon so much and i love talking about why its incredible#serena.txt

Map of the Orlesian Empire remains in 9:46 Dragon

Orange: Kingdom of Ferelden annexed territories
Green: The Restored Dales
Blue: The Andrastian Republic of Orlais
Purple: The Grand Duchy of Serault
Red: Kingdom of Nevarra annexed territories
Light Blue: Contested Dales-Orlais border
Black: The "Venatori" states (informally called)
After the death of both Grand Duke Gaspard and Empress Celene at the disastrous Peace Ball of Halamshiral in 9:42 Dragon, the Empire of Orlais, strained already by the burning of it's capital during the last battle of the Mage Rebellion, the weakening of it's armies in the War of Lions and the border incursion of a resurgent Ferelden under Prince-Consort Cousland and Queen Anora Mac Tir, ended up fracturing completing. Revolutionary movements brought by the Elusive Iconoclaust, unchecked with most of the royal army leaderless in the Dales, quickly overturned large swats of the crumbling Empire with mass executions of it's nobility. The western marquisate of Serault closed it's borders to avoid the spread of revolutionary movements and declared indipendeance from Orlais trought a network of marriages and submission of it's neighbooring nobles. Rivaling nations such as Nevarra and Ferelden, both having warred with Orlais in the recent past, were more than happy to nibble at the borders of their rival, as was Ambassador Briala, who was able to transfer hundreds of thousands of elves in the Dales trought means unknown in a short time and drive the tired and deserting skeletrons of the orlesian garrisons out before declaring the Dales a nation once again. The downfall of Orlais allowed even agents of the Elder One to infiltrate it's ranks and despite the purge of Venatori elements after the death of Corypheus, the more distant territories, unable to be reclaimed by either the Dales or Orlais, kept bearing the mark of the corruption left and internal division.
-The Twenty Years War, Author Unknown, Public Library of Ansburg, United Marcher Alliance capital.
#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#orlais#red schism au#in which florianne doesnt stand looking at the wall after killing celene and just stabs gaspard quickly#in which bioware remembers orlais isnt the only nation with an effective army and the south doesnt need nor want orlais protection#in which the inquisition arent the only players mandated to always win by plot and not everyone who opposes them is dumb or evil
