Has anyone ever talked about the parallels between Xavier’s Institute and the Jedi?

I feel like there’s gotta be fandom crossover here- taking kids in when they’re really young and just figuring out they have ‘special gifts’, almost always cutting them apart from their families, telling them how to feel and react, a ‘peaceful’ organization - that somehow creates countless child soldiers

Corporate needs you to find the difference - they’re the same photo

#y’all I could very much elaborate #if it wasn’t like 2am #but like- tell me other people see the vision #you know how Star Wars in the past couple years has kind of realized the Jedi are a cult?#like the media takes a much more critical approach of them as an organization (like acolyte)#which works really well #and I feel like x men (is we ever get another fucking movie) should do the same thing #I’m so done acting like this shit is normal and good #you can’t treat CHILDREN like SOLDIERS #I’m a Charles Xavier HATER now #x men #star wars #rambles

Company Mandated Fancy Fits on the Tulpar 😏

Also had to include the REAL star of the show (and a bonus)

Based off of this and this. Thank you very much joetastic for being inspirational 👍

The REAL reason this is late

you always land on all fours

#umineko #umineko spoilers #ikuko hachijo #ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long #now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more #overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way #like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism #the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery #^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend #(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of #to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers #and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's #entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in #featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is #putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine #not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c #i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case #with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her #insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite #to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the #ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry #her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part #like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very #similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime #which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person #hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

Yeah I was right and there was no way I was getting the rest of this done without making you all wait another month or two, so I just went to the next good break point. We're officially past the halfway point with Astarion though, so not too much longer before you actually get to see Rolan again!

Part 1 �� Previous Part • Next Part

Full page format under the cut:

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 comic #I just really love Ember and Astarion's dynamic as well ok #He's who she canonly ends up with but the Rolan timeline is if Astarion had decided he wasn't ready for a physical relationship after all #in which case his relationship with Ember doesn't really change they just end up platonic life partners instead of romantic ones #that duo who everyone assumes are a couple because they might as well be but nah #hopefully gonna get to show off how Ember and Rolan work together once I get back to him cause I love their chemistry just as much #rolan x tav #tav x rolan #rolan x ember #bg3 astarion #astarion #my tav #sharky's tav #tav: ember #oc: ember #sharky art

During the post dark cream arc where Cross was pregnant with Aim, is it possible for Aim to mive and kick while in the soul…? And if so is it painful for Cross+

continuing @clownyclowns' comic's topic <3

#zu art #comic #post dark cream #cross!sans #preg!cross #dream!sans #undertale #undertale au #utmv #''I'm no longer who I used to be'' [pregnancy edition]#my defensive reaction to Cross' ex-crush was to draw more of him being pregnant with Dream's child /jjj #if I had a nickel for every time I drew a multi-page comic about the issue of roles & self-esteem in a same-sex family I'd have two nickels #which isn't a lot but omg it happened twice :'D #well I love me some preg!Cross with nesting syndrome & emotional swings ;w;#(or is this also a midlife crisis? >:/ gotta learn—)#little Aim in Cross' soul be like: dad is mad at papa?? not on my watch— *kicks*#a lil defender <33 #I really like how their love languages work cause Dream's is an act if service and he tries to show his love the same way by offering help #but Cross' is physical touches so he reacts sharply to the help but relaxes (breaks :'3) after hugs (Dream does to calm them both down)#men... ;w;☆#be back soon! ;3

Real fan art is coming one day, but for now I really wanted to see if it was feasible to simplify their gradients into something that would fit a simple style like Bluey’s 😅

.

#aaaaaaaaaAAA #they're so precious I can't ;m;#I still haven't watched Bluey so I can't really comment on show accuracy but to me these look spot on #if you ask me the gradients work really well #if you look at them and unfocus your eyes they look like their normal markings #Vasco might benefit from having one more band between the base yellow and the lighter brown but that's totally optional and might take away #from the simplicity of his design #their colors are so true to the way I color them which is both cool and kind of uncanny #like Machete's pink details which in reality are very peachy almost closer to light orange than true pink #and their colored linearts which use the same colors I use for my colored linearts #I don't know I thought that was really cool attention to detail #they're adorable #thank you!#gift art #apupcalyptic #own characters #Machete #Vasco #their lives would be a lot less stressful in bluey universe I reckon

a black spot on the sun

#metropolis 1949 #metropolis manga #tezuka star system #mitchy #kenichi #art tag #i dont think i consider metropolis a must-read unless youre a hardcore tezuka fan but it IS a very interesting one #especially as a fan of astro boy metropolis 2001 AND metropolis 1927 #mitchy is the son of fritz lang's false maria and the mother of atom #and the whole work is a fascinating reminder of the cyclical and referential nature of all art #(not to say metropolis 1949 doesnt have value standing on its own- it totally does and i really enjoyed reading it)#(but it's almost impossible to look at completely on its own given its place in this long chain of things vaguely inspired by each other)#(all of which are much more well-known)

here's a playlist of (mostly) historically accurate love songs that twiyor has most definitely danced to on vinyl: youtube, spotify, apple music

some fast, some slow, some made for dancing, others probably not (but i still like them so i included them anyway), i'll add songs as i think of them

#the job i had through most of college was working for a music professor who was OBSESSED with jazz #his specialty was the golden age of captiol records #especially stuff from arrangers like billy may and johnny mercer and such #my boss introduced me to so much great music #he was such a genuinely good person. the very definition of good.#well i mean he's still alive so i should say he IS a genuinely good person lol #anyway #i've really enjoyed listening to jazz and doowop and stuff like that for a while #and now i have an excuse to share it #a lot of twiyor fanart of the two dancing is usually of them slow dancing #which is cute dont get me wrong but i also want them dancing so goofy like idiots #so here we are #also please check out the playlist i went through the trouble of putting it on three platforms #sxf #spy x family #loid forger #spyxfamily #yor forger #twiyor

WHY DO THE CONTROLLERS ATTACH LIKE THAT?? That looks like the most breakable thing I've ever seen oh my god

#nintendo switch #nintendo #nintendo switch 2 #I see this and all I feel is FEAR #reminds me of all the various kinds of fragile old ports you had to be so careful to plug anything into lest it never works again #honestly so far there's really no argument in favor of buying it aside from that new mario kart game (which I don't care much for)#at least they finally fixed that awful console stand‚ it looks so much more sturdy #and FINALLY there's backwards compatibility #other than that well we'll have to see

#I know tumblr isn't really the video sharing site but this video is actually the reason I started posting my art #worked on this for about 2 months #never made an animatic before and I didn't think I'd even get past the storyboard phase so I'm happy with the completion of this video #crk #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #shadow milk cookie #pure vanilla cookie #shadow milk crk #pure vanilla crk #animatic #I've had enough of you #<- song name #it's from billie bust up but I do not know if I should tag that as well so at least tagging the name of the song #I can finally render some of these scenes as just drawings now that I've posted this which I've been wanting to do for a while now :D #also wish me luck as I plan to post this to youtube as well o7 #thought about linking the video instead of posting it but just in case I change my mind and take it down or private it :')

hope you feel better soon!

I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!

#ask #non mdzs #My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl #So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume #but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice #and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.

Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.

Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.

And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.

All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #listen Leo loves his family SO MUCH #and like it’s no accident that Leo is consistently the one to give pep talks that #very notably #are less ‘everyone as a group’ and more ‘all of you individually’#it’s heartening to see honestly and like #it works with how he is as both a person and as a fighter #he knows people he knows them so well he knows how they work what they’re like #which is SO USEFUL for subterfuge AND portal/teleportation strategy #my guy is charming his charisma comes from his understanding of people at an individual level #when he wants to be he is very very good at that #he’s still a teen who is too cocky for his own good at times but that does not negate his stellar other moments #he can be selfish he can be mean he can be rude but when push comes to shove he is so quick to stand up for his family #Mikey’s statement at the end of the movie about how Leo NEVER gave up on THEM is so important because it’s not JUST about the movie!!#that’s Leo as a whole he will never give up on his bros #portal jacked is telling of this too because although it has a lot of comedic moments #never once does Leo stop looking for a way to get his bros back #they’re everything to him #he’s the face man he’s a people person and he’s the number 1 pet turtle which I will discuss the implications of in this essay-#Will also say that when Leo does these moments of standing up for his bros he’s never expecting praise for it #he’s just glad they find Raph he just smiles when Mikey tells him he loves him he never mentions defending Donnie #leo has a tendency to show off fancy glittery moves but his real actions and feelings are sooo much more lowkey #that you have to be actively looking for them to catch them all #and I really really like that about him it’s so interesting HE is so interesting

Experiments with pupils and mouths that devolved into shenanigans :)

#you can really tell I was having a normal one when I drew these #I like many of the pupil experiments but don't really like mouths on my iterators #i've seen some people do mouths on itties well though #...really enjoyed noisy cat spearmaster with a mouth tbh #no plans on changing how i usually draw things rn. this was just for fun #Sometimes I miss having pupils and mouths to work with (on slugcats and itties)#Not having either on iterators can be a unique challenge that forces me to practice my body language more #which I like drawing anyways so it works out #antennae are suuuper fun to use for expressions too #rain world #flickerdoodles #art #group pic
