Happy Year of the Snake!
#lunar new year#year of the snake#digital art#Just like last year - the previous year's guardian is here to send us off!#Year of the dragon...You were full of a lot of changes.#Some good! Some very big and stressful! I took a lot of big leaps in my life and I think I'm better for it.#I am a being of change who will keep moving forwards. Even if I have to crawl - I am getting to the finish line.#I needed the power and wisdom of the dragon to weather a lot of storms.#Now that the storm is calming I'm ready to do more than just survive! I want to thrive!#May this year be kinder to us. May we find more positivity and connection within the world.#And for the love of god. May I finally learn how to draw snakes so I can draw more snake cowboys. Snowboys. Cowakes.#Why does nothing ever combine well with cowboy...my curse continues...

Caterina who loves her grandsons, even if it's in her own terrible way, seeing Lucanis happy with Rook. Feeling the icy grip of fear in her heart at the notion that he might one day lose them the way she lost everyone. Cautious that Rook won't have what it takes to survive a life with the first talon - not for any rational reason. Solely that she wasn't the one to train them, so how could she know. How can she be certain.
Caterina accepting Rook into the family, with everything that means. Even if they aren't a crow, they're a Dellamorte now. That means something. A doubled edged blade of protection and threat.
Rook, in their way, slowly winning Caterina's trust. Her faith. That Rook is just as stong as the boys she raised.
Caterina at last, beginning to release the past, knuckle by knuckle, her grip loosening as she sees the man Lucanis has become. The strength and love that coexist within him.
Caterina never quite moving on, but starting at least to see the present for what it is. Appreciating what she has in addition to mourning what she's lost.
Thinking that when she dies, those two boys she loves might be alright. That at the end they won't need her anymore.
#idk i think despite everything she DOES want the best for them. just her idea of best.#and when she loses control of that the love that drove her to raise them the way she did is still there#she'll never warmly love rook. but she will want them to live. because lucanis loves them.#and for someone who's been in survival mode for 30 years... wanting them to live is i think as close to love as she gets#she never moves forward but she can see how Lucanis and Illario finally are#and i think that maybe brings her peace?#i also don't think she'll ever regret how she raised them though like the wounds will never fully heal#but none of them are completely frozen anymore#Caterina Dellamorte

i have this headcanon where long story short stanley gains consciousness but the narrator hasn’t, and once stanley does something stupid (goes so far out of bounds the narrator is left to his own devices to get him back in bounds lol) it knocks the narrator into consciousness
and when he resets and realizes he’s not being dictated by code anymore the narrator is PISSED
like how DARE you make it so i’m having actual thoughts. i can remember more than 20 seconds ago and ITS ALL YOUR FAULT. now i have to deal with wants and desires instead of just following a script for eternity! kys!!!!!!!!
#this is one of my favorite headcanons of mine it’s very in depth and i wanna make a fic about it#<- does not write#<- does not know how to make a fanfic#i’ve been trying for MONTHS to get my casino au to work out but it won’t come together#i have no clue what they would do past a certain point#i think about it daily like how can i move the story forward#i’ve tried making stanley kill himself i’ve tried making stanley get roofied ive tried stanley trying to get his life together#the narrator doesn’t do shit in this au he just tries to keep his routine the same#and fails because he’s head over heals for a man who hasn’t had access to a shower for months#tsp#stanley parable#the stanley parable#moth rambles

If the Fifth Doctor is such a bland English gentleman, why is he constantly posing like a pin-up girl at every opportunity.
#this is like. half a joke.#it's definitely not intentional it's just that for some reason mr davison decided to take any and every chance#to lean against a surface either with his legs crossed and hips sticking out#or to place his hands on a flat surface and lean forward#also throws in the occasional strut for good measure#he also seems to have a habit of just staring at people's faces for a very long time without moving and blinking very little#and i can't tell if these are intentional ✨️acting✨️choices or if he just does that#either way it's a very funny combination of arguably unintentional autism stares and bond girl posing#that i think really adds a certain... je ne sais quois to the character#doctor who#fifth doctor

Isn't it funny that most of the games in Kingdom Hearts end in tragedies, or very bittersweetly, AT BEST. And even the handful that are technically happy endings have the underlying pressure of the upcoming battle, so nothing is ever truly "outright happy."
#kingdom hearts#kh#i think that's part of the beauty and power of kh#the fact that it unintentionally and intentionally has that whiplash of the absurdity of mashing Disney and FF together#but still makes an earnest narrative that isn't afraid to explore things identity and trauma and mental health#is why it resonates so much with people who are willing to look beyond the “hehe disney x FF funny game lore doesn't make sense” image#and yes this series is ridiculous and goofy but also a lot of characters get fates worse than death and more often than not#have to keep pushing forward whether it gets addressed or not#my most favorite thing is seeing people who don't know kh not only get flabbergasted by the complexity (that stems from how abstract kh's#themes/concepts are) but be shocked by how moving and tragic it is#no kh does not have the typical “they lived happily ever after”#in fact they rarely do#but the fact it hinges so much on hope kinda hits differently#it's not hope full of sunshine and flowers but hope that stems from tears and separation and so much internal conflict yet carrying so much#love to not erase the cracks but fill them in gold#im starting to not make sense aren't i#anyway play kingdom hearts ehe#yoroshiu rambles

i truly would not be mad if nancy breaks up with jonathan and tells steve to move on. and for vickie to tell robin she’s not interested but is willing to be friends. so nancy and robin decide they need to hang out after a long day of heartbreak and throughout their convos of explaining everything that’s been going on, they realize they have feelings for each other. i truly would not be mad at that. in fact, that’s exactly what i want to happen 😌
#ronance#robin buckley#nancy wheeler#stranger things#who cares what the straights will think#they’ll be like ‘oh but that doesn’t make sense plot wise’#actually it does!#there’s been theories nancy is queer since s1#and s4 left off with the jancy + stancy love triangle#have jonathan go to college & steve realize he needs to move on#he mentions crawling backwards as a kid so now have him crawl forward by having him get over nancy#and vickie is dating whoever that guy is and then just play off that scene between vickie & robin as robin’s pov where she thought vickie#was interested but she isn’t#then we have the foundation set up for nancy and robin to be together#they’re already friends#have them hang out and get into a deep convo#and robin trusts nancy so she tells her she’s a lesbian & vickie rejected her#and that’s when nancy shares that she feels like she’s always been attracted to girls#AND THEN THEY KISS AND RONANCE IS CANON#LIKE ITS SO EASY THEY NEED TO JUST FUCKING DO IT#no one cares for the straights. do what needs to be done for the gays and give us ronance 😁

As much as I enjoy picking apart and having Emotions TM about Little's many low points - his failures and the indignities he suffers at the hands of fate and his fellow man - that darkness just can't hit the same unless you consider the light too (and I think many out there do fail to consider that light).
He isn't compelling to me just by how many times he gets knocked down, he's compelling for the fact that he gets back up again.
#I've said it 1000 times before but it always bears repeating - if ever there was an explorer made of hope it's Little#He's always moving forward - hoping and trying at every turn to do what he thinks is right despite it all#(And to be clear I'm not saying that he always succeeds or that he always does the right thing)#(Doing what he thinks it right is not always the same as doing what is right objectively)#I dunno#It does just chap my nips sometimes to see that side of him willfully ignored when there's so much more nuance to be found#'sad weak wet paper bag of a man who can't do anything right and folds at the slightest provocation'#LIKE NO#He takes everything life can throw at him and he keeps moving the fuck forward - fighting against impossible odds until his final breath#He's the very last of nearly 130 men left standing ffs if that's not strength I don't know what is!#Ok rant over I'm normal now#The Terror#The Terror AMC#Edward Little

There are wayyy too many “Roy would NEVER say that, how ooc!!!” and inversely, “Roy Kent is now #canceled and I never want him to so much as look at Keeley ever again” takes and not nearly enough:
“Roy is a flawed human person whose insecurities have always plagued him and tonight they got the better of him once again. He has a lot of apologies to make but hey, tomorrow is another chance at greatness. Also, he should really really go to therapy :)” takes!
#Roy Kent#ted lasso#ted lasso spoilers#I saw sooo many tweets about how they will never support Roy with Keeley ever again like ?? from people who apparently shipped them before?#I think that’s taking it a bit far….#(and I don’t even want them back as a couple necessarily)#in addition to the ‘I’m going to say this extremely in character line was ooc because I love Roy’ crowd#like have y’all never heard of messing up before?#mistakes don’t make a man but how you move forward after making them does#isn’t that the whole thesis of the show?

Hello!!!!! I did a thing!!!! and how horrible it was! I've spent the last month being stressed and stressing about everything and nothing at all. It was a tough journey to lock tf in to make these pieces to take to the Vaticon!! But I'm glad I did it because it's apparent how much I still have to grow and learn.
It was also fun to see and meet my friends. This was a unique experience that'll probably never happen again and i'm grateful that I was there for it. I wouldn't have made it to the con if it wasn't for my friends (specifically @thistleation booooooooooooooo hi bestie thanks for being you 😡 )
Thanks for the experience y'all, thank you for having me.
(Did i mention I got them signed 😮💨? horrifying i know v)
gripings



#it's insane to think i started this art journey because of warrior nun#(and kty thanks for being gorgeous)#fun fact#KTY spelled my name wrong#sobbed#altho to be fair I was hyperventilating#and Kib does sound like Kim#rolling over into the sun and oncoming traffic#tko_art 25#anyway now i'm gonna undergo another training arc#wait for me at the top#gonna go insane#be prepared to not see me#zzzzzz#love Olivia's handwriting hahaha#STILL think the lineart looked so much better BAH#BUT WHATEVER#not gonna thinka bout it and instead focus on moving forward#lots and lots of love to thistle btw#and the people who pushed me to do this EVEN if it broke my brain#(sister + lil bros) = people#oh and how lovely it was to meet prince??????? 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥#and also wyper???

#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#web weaving#GOYUU YESSSSSSSS!!!!! i love goyuu theyre what got me into the entire fandom in the first place#hmm what to say about how yuuji actually treats gojo like a person and sees him as a fun and friendly guy and doesnt find him annoying#or hate his sense of humor. i think yuuji does in fact know that surface level isnt all there is to gojo#but he still likes his 'bad' personality and enjoys spending time with him#and gojo ohh gojo#hmm... blue spring of youth methinks. yuuji reminds him of the days when he was truly happy. he wants to preserve that innocence in yuuji#ofc he fails utterly. but even so yuuji manages to surprise him i think. he goes through hardship and loses his innocence but somehow#he still keeps his hope and his light and he keeps moving forward with them clutched in his fists. and i think for someone like gojo#who gave up on himself and his happiness he can recognize the differences. yuuji keeps hoping. keeps trying.#what to say about the way their light syncs up just right and manages to warm them both#what to say about someone else FINALLY trying to take care of you despite every protestation that you dont need it#what to say about someone who cares about you who recognizes all the little agonies you go through every day and offers you a soft smile#what to say about someone who becomes your best friend and you dont know how it happened just that your pieces slid together so seamlessly#that now you cant imagine being without them. when did that happen?#what to say about people willing to burn the world down for each other with the power to do it.#what to say about kindness. about trust that doesnt need to be painstakingly earned. what to say about admiration. about being preferred#about being chosen about being saved about being spared about being snatched from the jaws of death by a thread of compassion#and weaving it into a tapestry cause all you ever had were loose threads and at least this one- this one- was offered willingly. on purpose#what to say about someone who doesnt get annoyed with you? who loves you fully? who laughs at your mishaps and embraces your awkwardness?#what to say about finding someone who loves you like it isnt a hardship#i dunno man just... something something they saw the humanity in each other when nobody else did something something#isnt that enough?

Big fan of characters who are somewhat aware that they are side characters and they struggle with that
#that quiz made me think of idelle black sails#which made me think of wakaba rgu my best friend wakaba rgu#like idelle wins at the end right#and her 'you killed my friend' monologue is so good because it makes u think of her and that girl as actual people#and not just extras that the main cast can kill without affecting anyone#idelle knows shes no max no anne no eleanor but that doesnt make her any less of a person#and then theres wakaba who seems so detached from the weirdness of the duels and is 'just' normal#but then it gets turned around and u see how wakaba feels about the whole situation#ugh wakaba duel my beloved#and in the finale u see that wakaba has taken on the role of utena somewhat#which is crazy? like what does that mean#the world akio constructed is falling apart and the cast is starting to move forward and outside of the neverending cycle#and wakaba now goes from the normie friend to taking on utenas role as an active player?#is she simply redoing utenas story or something else

Weegi woke me up in the middle of the night for the third night in a row because of course he did, the big baby, but I’m wibbly because I realized I met my fundraising goal for Peach in under 12 hours 🥺🥹😭❤️ I had her post queued up another two times and I was able to go delete those augh. Thank you to everyone who boosted and donated!! Here is another Peach picture to celebrate

#absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude and shock (positive)#I was sick to death with worry yesterday when we got the email with her prescription and the links of what to buy#really appreciate those who pointed out that insulin is more affordable in other ways also!!#we were overwhelmed and just bought exactly what they linked us to because we can’t move forward with her treatment until we have it#but if she does not go into remission then I know to look for more affordable options now#my ramblings

thing that makes me feral is its everyone else telling Jinx who she is
her friends end up dead and she's still got their voices in her head telling her who and what she is. Silco spends the rest of his life telling her who she is to him. one city is telling her shes a terrorist and the other that she's a savior. even Isha is the one who 'adopted' Jinx, deciding that they would have a relationship—Jinx just go to decide what that looks like
I don't even have a point to this, just. the relationship with Isha and the touching her shoulders scene could both be seen as moments of growth for Jinx—people rely on her, they trust her, they believe in her, and she seems to believe it for the first time since Vi returned—but they're also just more instances of other people telling her who she should be
#arcane#idk i kind of love that all those people touch her shoulders and walk away... and jinx immediately goes and does something else#like i'd have to analyze the visual language of that scene a lot more to know how the animators wanted that to read#but it was such a... everyone acknowledging you're just a figurehead#like good job. we appreciate you. we're moving forward#and Jinx definitely is hit by the gravity of the situation as well... and then leaves to go find Vi and deal with the Vander situation#of course thats because the big monster fight happens right after the shoulder touch scene and she IS fighting to defend the people#but theres two episodes where shes like alright. well. nevermind im slinking back into the shadows to deal with my family stuff now#and everything with Isha too!!#Isha is desperately trying to get Jinx to be the heroic figure everyone wants her to be and Jinx is NOT interested#and I can totally see Isha's death spurring Jinx on to let herself be this thing she didn't want to be#and I don't even know if that's necessarily bad it's just again other people telling her who she is!!#let Ekko be the figurehead leader of the rebellion where the hell is Ekko! he's in the opening credits so he can't possibly be dead so soon
