Once upon a time, ten years or so ago, I wrote a ridiculous children's book about a squirrel knight. To this day it's still the only book I've ever completed a full draft for, and I've considered editing it and seeing if I can't get it published someday, but I would like to have illustrations for it first. One of the problems I've encountered with that, though, is putting plate armor on squirrels. So if I have to suffer through drawing it then you guys have to suffer through seeing it.
#i write sometimes#my trash#past tarva speaks#/end classification tags#working with digitigrade legs but also trying to keep the vibe of historic plate mail is a nightmare you guys#send HELP#anyway#i once told someone that i had written a book about squirrel knights#and they were like#''aww cute i can just picture them running around in armor collecting nuts''#bro no#they're fighting in tournaments and wars and rescuing political prisoners and journeying to mythical islands#what kind of arthurian legends did you grow up with#anyhow the idea from the book came from a dream i had once about this squirrel knight#and at the end of the dream somebody handed me a book about his adventures and i was really eager to read it#and i was aware i was in a dream but at the same time my dream logic was like#''if i hold onto the book tightly enough then i can bring it into the waking world''#which of course didn't work#but that whole situation bothered me for years#so i finally decided to write the book myself#it's not exactly the same but the idea lives and that's what matters

even with all of beyond reanimator's flaws it still ended with herbert getting into his little reanimator outfit of white dress shirt and skinny black tie. man was in jail for thirteen years or whatever and the first thing he does upon potential freedom is get into the only outfit he's ever worn. most relatable thing i've ever seen. ten out of ten stars
#of course he also says that dan sold him out to get him put away. which. no?#no he didn't. i don't know he was lying to protect dan. yeah. that's better. he told dan to do that to protect him#also i love that the other dude apparently researched herbert to work with him and then proceeded to be shocked at what happened#buddy at that point that's not even herbert's fault you walked into that#anyway. middle-aged herbert my beloved#beyond reanimator#herbert west#jeffrey combs#reanimator#re animator#bride of reanimator

Does anyone else hc that Nightmare can like, absorb his tentacles back into his body sometimes? Like the way Stitch does with his extra arms?
#UTDR#UTMV#Nightmare Sans#I just realised earlier I've been just kinda assuming this as fact and I don't know where it came from#cause I don't think it's canon and I can't think of seeing it anywhere else#So maybe it's just me idk#Anyway it's something I wanted to be more prevalent when I was doing the truce au comic (which if I ever work on again I'll probably restar#cause I didn't really know what I was doing and there's stuff I wanna amend)#But the idea was that at the start of their attempted truce the tentacles made Dream uncomfortable#(Not only because Nightmare often used them against him in battle but also it's something different about his brother from his#childhood memories and it was jarring to see his one constant be changed)#He didn't say anything about it but obviously Nightmare could feel it#So whenever Dream was around I would make a point of drawing him with the tentacles sucked in#It was his little unspoken effort to make the truce work. because he wanted it very badly but would rather die than admit it#(or try to figure out why)#But over the course of the truce Dream would notice and start encouraging him to have them out and be himself#Showing Nightmare a little acceptence because despite the differences that's still his brother#You ever write six times more in the tags than the actual post lol#These are the DVD extras of the post you have to go looking for these#Director's commentary of my silly little thoughts :3#Anyway thoughts?

brush test slash rendering practice with ayem
#morrowind#almalexia#the elder scrolls#tes#tes fanart#art#id in alt#ok that's all the tags this needs ANYWAY#i started this 1. for experimenting with coloring from dark to light#2. because i wanted to draw someone kind of back turned to the camera#3. rendering practice for hair particularly#4. to go from sketch to rendering rather than doing lines to see if that doesn't smooth out my workflow a bit#5. because i've never actually used this brush past flat coloring#and out of those 1. i don't think i had enough of an idea of the palette or process to jump into dark to light painting so i did scrap that#and go with my usual “flat color with one of the mid shadow tones add shadows add light”#i do think that painting from shadows out is a thing people do digitally i just think this wasn't the drawing to test it on for me#i think i'd need to look at some other peoples processes and start with a more fleshed out idea of where to go#2 and 3 i think worked out. i'm gradually figuring hair out which i think is sick#4 i also think worked out for me which is also sick because i do get caught on lines a lot. they're fun sometimes but i think some drawings#benefit better from not having them and that it might be a bit faster#and of course everything i do is so that i can draw slightly faster and better for next artfight#as for 5. i have mixed feelings on this brush but that might be because i hate change. and also because i started this drawing on the 15th#of november and finished it yesterday. so im kind of just sick of working on and looking at it#it was a valuable learning experience and i think it came out well! i am also going to drop to my knees and rejoice when i can finally#close this file out and free medibang paint from under it so i can work on Literally Anything Else#thank you almalexia for being my test subject i should've used a reference for your armor when i did the sketch but i didn't#maybe the crown looks weird because of it maybe it doesn't. not my problem anymore i can draw other elves again#my art#iiii think i forgot a my art tag last time

Doctor Who "Rogue" memes
I've made memes. enjoy.
(contains slight spoilers)
firstly, ones that are more encompassing:
regarding the episode itself:
and finally, Captain Jack Harkness stages of grief:
#doctor who#memes#the “salute the sky” one is my favorite#he really did just put his ship in orbit and went oh well the bitch is gone#poor fifteen may be apparently more healed but he has no idea how to deal with emotions other than cry and then ignore them#but we love him he's trying#also I thought those psychic earrings were soooo stupid but at the same time I loved them#like that was a classic “a bit silly but it works” doctor who thing#also this is the second time I've seen male presenting gays ballroom dancing and I am thriving#the other of course being aziracrow#I wanted to make a meme for that too but wasn't sure which to use#my memes#original post#rogue#doctor who rogue#rogue doctor who#the doctor#ruby sunday#the doctor x rogue#p.s. to clarify ik they're not actually erasing Jack Harkness it's just they're very clearly ignoring him completely and Rogue seems#somewhat like a replacement although he does have differences and I love him very dearly#also I put gay in quotes because the doctor is genderfluid/nonbinary and is simply at the moment male presenting and it didn't feel right#to somewhat diminish their identity by simplifying it - like how aziracrow are called gay and that's great but they're more complicated#than just that label#yasmin khan#yaz khan#fifteenth doctor#thirteenth doctor#fourteenth doctor

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - Symphony of Sorcery
#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#symphony of sorcery#scenery#my gif#i originally planned on splitting this set in two and wanted to create separate posts for both sides of this world#but i was surprised that i struggled with that and many of my shots didn't feel distinct enough when i put them all together#dunno how i messed that up so bad since this world has so much going for it#so i had to scrap a good chunk of what i made but i actually think it looks better this way so maybe it's not such a bad thing#sora's side is on the left (except for the last gif) and riku's is on the right#it gives you a better feel for how varied and different these magical realms are#and yeah that's what they're called#anyways i'm so glad this world exists because it's so experimental and different#everything from the visuals to the music and how sora and riku's battle sounds are instead replaced by more music#as if they're composing it themselves#which of course ties into how they must find and collect their sound ideas#it's all so incredible and works perfectly for a game centering around dreams#i hope we can see more unique worlds like it in future games too

oh boy !! ! ! ! !!! ! thANK y0u all for the kind words on my last art posts. you all get it and i was/still am so happy about it
as promised, here's some close-ups of the comic for image quality's sake, and other screenshots i rescued from the community whiteboard (and something else)
first up another sketch of mystery gender-ambiguous being. (please send me more name ideas for them if you got one- i like to hear em! (reminder it's the side character that appeared for <10 seconds in AvM Ep. 30))
a few fav scenes
emotional support cwab
they weren't meant for this purpose exactly, but i do have countless "fluffy sticks" loose in my notes and homework sheets from the school years.
papery critter.
even when i wasn't confident in fur or feathers, they helped me practice posing and create some satisfying gradients/flowing poses. (im a sucker for good tail poses) (oh yay! i found a good pic...)
and finally, little sneak peak for you for reading so far ;3
i realized that whiteboardfox is pretty great for my working needs. simple and to the point and all. feels nice with the mouse and the tablet.
so i started hashing out a big project idea just to see if it holds up and
[
several hours later ...
]
oh
oh man
it's a little bigger than i expected
<next>
#--/ art#alan becker#animator vs animation#animation vs minecraft#Minecraft bed#ava the dark lord#ava the chosen one#me when the project that obviously wasn't going to be done in one night isn't done in one night: D: !?!?!?!?#kudos to whoever routed the Speedrun actual short because that one is so fun and clean and savvy#clever made up time-savers? includes orange's TNT shield-jump?? nonlethal dragon dispatch??? sweet#ithink you can see where i tried to head with this#turns out that turning up the complexity 98 notches higher makes things trickier to parse hmmmmmm?#in fact i might need some help with this one ;>v>' like a lot.#i had a bit of a story and route set up already i just... wanted to make sure everything was at least kinda there...................#we'll see#the pie joke. i was trying to categorize which foodstuffs chosen should be able to make on the fly. with their flame hands.#ex. cooking meats makes sense because flint and steel works for the same purpose (you can kill a burning animal to get cooked meats)#but baking bread or drying kelp seems way more involved or whatever -> needs a proper furnace environment#HOWEVER... i noticed that Steve can just summon pumpkin pies from his bare hands if he wants to without even a workbench. so. sure! lol.#this is scraping the surface of the minutiae i want to consider#(ALSO KUDOS to everyone who RUNS/works on all-advancements. of course. riding on your shoulders here)#final joke is that chosen didn't know how crazy this undertaking would be to learn#but dark is very literally programmable. so you could maybe just plug some TAS instructions into him and off he goes#or even more open-ended than that just give him the list of advancements + stipulations + the wiki and similar result#it'd get done but. i dont think he'd find that fun at all. prefers to write his own instructions if you see what i mean#i might be forgetting some context. it is rather late you see. please ask me questions about this! ;P#tco aa

...you know with a fandom that has lasted 30 years I'm sure I'm not saying anything new here, but 'right after his best friend from when he was thirteen (who he newly reunited with and asked to sleep over at his apartment. For Reasons) seemingly flicked his nipple (!!???? mark I have questions) to set him up for a prank and then cupped the back of his neck with rough affection in a deeply homoerotic way' sure is an incredibly specific moment for the camera to deny us access to fraser's expression fhksjafhas
(especially with the pattern over the many many times we see a woman hitting on him where his face will be clearly visible, with his expression placidly (one could be forgiven for starting to suspect tactically) uncomprehending/confused or uncomfortable. though we see him speak of specifically victoria for the first time turned away from the camera -- from behind, and only getting the faint reflection of his face in the window, to much the same effect. I think I might be on to something here.)
#I am definitely going to be looking out for that all over the place now haha. what does it mean. what does it MEAN#due south#benton fraser#listen actual overt queer rep is of course a good thing for us to have now. many MANY things sucked about how it used to be#we should not go back there. it was a dark time. how quickly some of us forget now that we have a wealth of things to choose from#but it used to be you had to suffer through things like the SGA episode 'the shrine' which is an amazing episode but ends#with the most intelligence-insulting no-homo inserted heterosexuality bullshit you've ever seen. and you just had to take it#you just had to grin and bear it. children I tell you those were dark days and we must not return to them#BUT we used to get some absolutely insane shit when the love dared not yet speak its name on network tv that's hard to match#we must put this amount of Texture and Insane-Making Implications into our current day queer fiction#we have to level up our sublimation game I think that's partly what makes the locked tomb so powerful#this show is incredible at the queercoding not queerbaiting balance honestly. probably because it takes even its silly characters#so seriously and so rarely surrenders even an inch to meanspiritness#(can't believe we had an episode with a whole kink club in it and I didn't flinch even once. i wasn't even worried I'd have to flinch#at any point. such is the acceptance and generosity of the tone we're working with here the majority of the time)#and then of course the riding off into the sunset together ending does cement all of that definitely at the end#for which I am very grateful haha#'I'm still proud (of you)' is such an INCREDIBLY kind and extremely fraser thing to say to mark in that moment tho. what the fuck

a fan in this panel i'm watching asked about the cas and collette paralells so i got curious and went looking through s10 for castiel and collette mirroring but i didn't find any so now, genuinely wondering what's being paralleled between the two in a way that also mirrors dean and cas to cain and collette, i just straight up looked it up on here and the num1 reason just seems to be sam omission
#like it's very largely hinged on the fact that they didn't cast an abel#(<- which already doesn't make sense bc the whole point is that he's dead. cain killed him#his absence is needed for cain's character to have an impact. especially on dean. whose abel is working on getting rid of the mark#ANDDD is acting as a surrogate collette during the interim of him having the mark)#and that seems to give them the room they need to ignore sam's role in the moc arc entirely#there's a lot of just saying that the parallel is there and that cas mirrors the role/sits in the role of collette but no evidence#but i've seen gifsets of the sam and collette mirroring... so...#cas is also very much more so directly involved with sam and angel politics than he is to dean in this season so#like all the sneaking he does for dean is on behalf of sam. so there's a massive amount of canon cas omission going on here as well#looks around. no one is surprised. every one is getting up and leaving actually#anyway i think u could say that dean's entire support system was dean's collette and even that would make more sense than it just being cas#also jensen's response to this question was to tell the story about how he stabbed jared in the scene after dean kills cain#and they acted it out because of course they did they act it out every time#ludere

Some (late) holiday photos of the boye~!
#cats#holiday#OUGHH....... barely could even get these edited and posted... my mysterious sickness flare up has been sooo bad the past few#days.. I didn't even go to the usual obligatory family christmas I was supposed to attend (!!! health issue/medical mention in tags below)#My stomach issues basically put me in a constant state of uncontrollable shivering/body shaking + nausea + sometimes rapid heart#rate. and when it happens at night that makes it like.. nearly impossible to sleep when you're violently shaking + you can feel your heart#so strong + you keep having to run to the bathroom every 5 minute to cough and gag#and throw up and so on and so forth. etc. So I went like 40 hours without any sleep almost for christmas eve and all of christmas day#last night I finally got maybe 2 hours of sleep in between the nausea and shaking and stuff. and then today I was able to get a few#hours of sleep in the afternoon. Today I tried taking an anxiety mediciation a doctor gave me in case it was anxiety related (it's apparent#ly used to relax people and works in the moment. rather than like Anxiety Mediciation that you have to take for weeks to see any effect#because I think this isn't actually acting on your brain chemistry it's judt like..a mild sedative or something.) but all that did was make#me dizzy and sweaty lol. I;m glad I slept a little but I'm just still frustrated that I don't feel normal. I started having these#'episodes' (with the stomach issues + shaking + heartrate + nausea etc.) like at the end of october. And usually it will happen for like a#few hours at a time. or i'll lose sleep one day and then be fine the next. but this has been like nearly 3 days of feeling weird. so is#getting kind of annoying... It's funny too because I was so so productive like.. literally the few days before. I was feeling much better#and I was working on my game and blah blah. But then.. random issue flare up out of nowhere of course.. yaayy.... happy holidays to meee lo#I did at least see two random ducks outside of my window in the yard area for christmas. and havent seen them since. So it's like.. hrmm..#pacing around my room nauseous and shakings and etc. but at least... hello.. two little ducks placed there just for me :3c#Now I get anxiety every night which I'm sure doesn't help/could exacerbate whatever underlying genuinely physical issues exist. But after#like 2 nights of 'I spend the night sleepless and incredibly uncomfortable just sitting in the dark sick' then bedtime is like.. dread...#I even was trying slapping myself in the face in desperation to see if somehow that could shock my body out of whatever the hell it was#doing lol.. up at 3am holding ice cubes in my hand and hitting myself in the head and crying from exhaustion and thowing up.. literally#ridiculous cartoon character feeling... AAANYWAY!!! At least I have baby boy pictures. and I have lots of doctors appointments so hopefully#whatever the issue is can be sorted out at some point. I don't know much about ibs but hopefully maybe something like that that I could pos#ibly take medication for and not something more seirous or anything. Maybe there's a food I'm secretly intolerant to or whatever.#And I did at least post a sims holday video actually timed for the holidays so that's something. I havent been productive really latrely#though obviously.. I can't even play games or small tasks when in that state since I'm just SO physically uncomfortable. Nausea and heart#stuff are THE hardest physical sensations to ignore.. BUT yeah... hoping I shall sleep at all tonight. hopeing to get like 3 productive#things done.. at some point... at least SOMETHING... lol..... *** *** ***

I think, after 2 years, I finally figured out how to draw his hair in a way that I like lol.
I have said this several times before but, I swear it is true this time.
This is technically for my DC/DP fic from a couple years ago. One that I recently updated b/c I realized I had picked at it enough that I had a full chapters.
#DC/DP#danny fenton#my doodles#link for convenience#in hindsight danny's hair probably doesn't need to be quite so curly#especially his human hair#but it works for the au i'm using it for#I want to get back to this au so bad#but one of the issues is I started it when I was sick with covid#and I knew where I wanted it to go#but not how I wanted it to get there#which of course didn't bother me at the time#b/c I was fking sick!#so I have to rebuild my outline and hope I can make shit make sense from here on out#which is quite frustrating#note to self#never start posting fics when i'm sick again#especially if I actually like the concept

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.
I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?
i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...
#snap chats#thats why we have tag rambles AHAHA#ok so to tackle things one at a time charles ultimately deciding to stay in space despite his expressed want to return to earth#obviously it was when lilandra pointed out if her sister took charge of the shi'ar then the universe- earth included- would be in peril#charles notes his position as a losing one: whichever choice he makes he loses#he goes to earth then the universe could be at stake/he stays in space he loses his kids#of course charles COULD just put his faith in the starjammers but is that a risk he wants to take ? evidently not#charles' reoccurring flaw is he's willing to sacrifice personal relationships for the greater perceived good#even lilandra acknowledges this- that charles' homesickness for earth was an inevitability just as she is indebted to protecting the stars#so now his ruptured relationship with illyana and co- esp right after comforting a split illyana last issue#we've seen charles act more coldly/rashly when he's about to lose people (i think of his first death with the og5 mostly)#i mean it's a key part to charles' chara that he doesn't favor mind controlling others and im sure he has the same regard for his students#he's aware of the damage it can do and in this instance- for one reason or another- he orders it to be done regardless#im sure he does this as a form of defense: if his kids are upset with him they won't feel too bad about losing him and it'll be less painfu#obviously we still see sam wish charles farewell and wish for him to come back soon but yk.. worthy attempt..#and it's not as if charles wants them to hate him ENTIRELY.. he's still touched by sam's goodbye no.... fickle man he is..#i dont think charles is totally afraid to confront the og5- its what made him want to return to earth with the nms initially#tho again.. could his decision to stay in the stars be influenced by that? that maybe he ISNT prepared to confront them like he thought?#who's to say... not me i dont got that psych degree yet..#erik being charles' trusted confidant definitely made his decision easier on top of that: i mean is he needed if he has a substitute#i think charles DOES wholly trust erik: charles really doesnt approach his x-men half heartedly. from his pov ofc#if he didn't genuinely believe in erik's potential he wouldn't have picked him; hes a comforting thought when charles decides to depart#'although i'm gone erik understands me and my goals enough to continue my work as good as i would have so i have nothing to worry about'#which. yk. makes the whole White King thing kinda awkward VJAELVJEAKL charles you fool#i have no idea how this saga ends though... tbh im only on ish 45 of NM i just read 50 and 51 to get context for this ask#so i can only wait and see how this saga turns out... once i finish reading house of m/secret invasion stuff jvLKEJKA#idk im tired and rambling dont pay attention to me.. ramblin bout charles' brain is a good day for me regardless if i make sense jVLAJ
