Freddie Fox as Edward Bellingham in Lot No. 249 [A Ghost Story for Christmas, d: Mark Gatiss, 2023]
#freddie fox#lot no. 249#mark gatiss#ok so I know freddie is like the obvious choice whenever you need someone louche or weasely or twinky or ambiguous or sly#but it doesn't mean he isn't great anyway#also he is now getting old enough that he's growing into having a more interesting face I mean he looks TREMENDOUS here#how has mark gatiss not done dorian gray with freddie yet? I mean yes OBVIOUS but also it would be GREAT before he's too old#anyway yeah this is the best of the gatiss ghost stories#and I think a lot of that is because m r james is so hard to translate to the screen#my wee gifs

Episode Nagi, Chapter 2 - 'Promise'
Bluelock, chapter 192 - 'Upheaval'
someone said something once about how nagi and reo might 'fail' by bluelock's standards; i.e neither of them will become that lone egoist striker, but 'succeed' by episode nagi's standards, i.e; keeping their promise to win the world cup together, and i think nothing exemplifies that more than reo's self declared ego being to make nagi into the world's best striker
no wonder ego fucking hates these two, they literally go fundamentally against everything his ideology stands for
#bluelock#episode nagi#nagi seishiro#mikage reo#nagireo#og post //#what the fuck is wrong with them <3#nagi's face during The Forehead Press TM kills me everytime#hes literally the epitome of that meme thats like 'well mark me down as scared and horny'#reo: “I'll give you a life that's way more interesting than games and naps!!”#nagi: *HopeThisDoesntAwakenAnythingInMe.jpeg*

its been so long since i first shared my designs for them, so i thought i would try again with my new art skills :3
#i love them all so dearly man.....#my art#digital art#artists on tumblr#petscop#paul leskowitz#petscop paul#belle leskowitz#petscop belle#carrie mark#petscop care#lina leskowitz#petscop lina#i do have an idea for what lina looks like but i think it's important that you don't see her face#like it separates her from marvin and rainer's idea of her. keeps the real her out of petscop#also about care: i made her more desaturated than paul bc i wanted to show how lifeless/unhappy her character is#not only is paul associated with a bolder colour but his hair is less limp and his face has more colour#i also think its interesting to have paul's eyes covered w/ his glasses. as if hes hiding a trait he cant get away from#omg also belle's hair!! i love the look of beads in braids in general but i thought it was a nice way to make her hair look like the mask-#-without changing the style or colour

*lovingly tackles Aine*
Read my Yandere! Pierro longfics first ♪( ´▽`)
Last week, my beloved mutual @ainescribe surprised me with Savior! Darling fan art and AHAI9232@2-!/! CRYING SCREAMING I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS ART AND WORSHIP YOUR VERSION OF SAVIOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING ME WITH YOUR ART—
*clears throat* Anyway, now that I finally have the time to properly sit down and comment on the fan art, I’ll do just that. Feedback will be in the tags and it will be unhinged. Once again, thank you so much to Aine for drawing this <3
#feedback#fan art#pranabefall#AIIINE ;-; once again. thank you so much!! it rlly means a lot to me that you enjoyed my writing and felt inspired to draw this :'>#and as someone who loves fashion and character design. it's so so interesting to analyze your version of savior#there's so much symbolism and visual storytelling in each sketch/ outfit and i shall now proceed to pick apart each detail as best as i can#her snezhnayan fit.....god i love it. it's regal. distinctively snezhnayan. and draws attention to her--and you just know that was pierro's#intention when he dressed her in those garments. IT'S JUST SO...!! savior's wardrobe scrubbed clean of her original culture and preferences#replaced with the foreign garments of her captor's nations.....in line with this. i love how her kokoshnik and khaenri'ahn earrings are big#and attention-grabbing. you can't look at her without taking note of those accessories. it begs the question:: how many times has savior#looked at the mirror after being dressed up in snezhnaya and was unable to recognize her own reflection?? :'>#also shoutout to some details aine shared with me: 1) the face marks are inspired by weeping angels 2) the kokoshnik was traditionally worn#by married noblewomen BUT the veil was normally for unmarried women so savior's outfit can be seen as a form of compliance + rebellion#(though later on in history it became accepted for married women to also wear that veil. also my apologies if what i said is inaccurate)#lastly shoutout to savior's expression!! very poised and mysterious....due to her emotional state or pierro's rules on how to act as his#spouse in public?? we'll never know~ the first drawing hits even harder when you compare it to the next one!! such an interesting contrast~#savior in her plain attire. casual and domestic with a smile on her face....i'm guessing this is her pre-fatui version?? she looks so warm#and friendly. and i can definitely understand why pierro fell for her smile <3#also i fucking love the caption. sorry pierro but you are cursed to be a loser/ simp/ pathetic man in all of my fics and AUs xD#NOW ONTO GODDESS! SAVIOR AAAHHHH!! i love the greek goddess motifs. she looks so regal and awe-inspiring but in a different way from her#snezhnayan attire--archaic. divine. and more suited to her personal style.....yet both versions of her look so painfully isolated :'>#her blank eyes. emotionless face. and veil give me the vibes of a spooky victorian ghost...or would a statue/ portrait be more fitting??#the lack of a necklace is also an interesting design choice given what happens in the fic. and now i realized i forgot to comment on your#version of her snezhnayan necklace oops. similar to the kokoshnik and earrings. the size + grandeur makes it impossible to ignore#that and big jewels = expensive af. ohhh and i love the sparkles on her veil!! pierro rlly spared no expense in dressing up his wifey <3#it's also funny how all of these outfits are similar to my own version in terms of 'savior wore grand clothing during her glory days as a#goddess -> wore simple attire after her decline for practicality and to blend in with humans/ disassociate from her old identity -> is now#dressed in even grander clothing as the harbinger's spouse. but it's used to reinforce her new identity and pierro's control over her'#tldr:: your design is so creative and i can see the effort you put in analyzing her character and depicting her based on your interpretatio#thank you for being my mutual + reader and i hope we can share even more harbinger/darling brainrot in the future :>

Your work is incredible and inspires me to create more!
What is your least favorite animal to draw? Or, what aspect of drawing have you struggled with? Thanks!
Thank you!
Least favorite... this is a cop-out but I think it'd have to be people. I feel like over the years I've slowly reached the point where humanoid anatomy isn't that much of a hassle to deal with anymore, but as soon as it comes to human faces, I just lose all interest, I'm sorry. I admire artists who excel at depicting humans but I just haven't found an enjoyable way to draw them.
For actual animals, I'd say horses. I've mentioned this before but they're just not for me.
I think my biggest enemy continues to be backgrounds and scenery. I've never managed to get the hang of them (and never will if I keep on avoiding drawing them). I try to tell myself that I used to struggle the same way with hands, perspective, poses, clothing and fabric folds and eventually regular practice made those easier, so why backgrounds would be that much more insurmountable.
I also don't enjoy realistic shading that much and usually try to weasel my way out of having to do it. I think my style might've developed into it's flat and lineart-heavy form as a result of shading evasion, at least in part, and I'm just wishing and hoping that my lines are strong enough to pick up some of the slack and convey form and volume even in the absence of true rendering.
#I don't care about human faces aka the furry artist disease#I have pretty severe face blindness I can't reliably tell people apart and have hard time reading facial expressions#and I've been wondering whether that could have contributed to the aversion but I don't know#animal heads are just more fun and interesting to me there's so much variety and different ears and markings and face shapes and so on#fuck backgrounds all my characters live in a void#answered#anonymous

Back thinking about the deleted verse from Leonard Cohen's lover lover lover about his experiences on the israeli side of the yom kippur war.
#im not talking biut this to cancel him or anything i think seeing others struggle to untangle the whole#jewish connection to israel thing and leave it behind is#Worthwhile and interesting and worth talking bout. and just. that verse has been on my mind the more invested i get in the song in general#like this + i never turned aside i never walked away. it was you who built this temple who covered up my face......#but also. shield against the enemy :/#like the song itself- despite removing this- bears the Marks of Zionist Complications about jewish identity- its so

wah i looove their designs and animation...
#sketched last night looped ''hot air balloon'' track last night rewatched elemental last night you know just how it is....i love it all augh#elemental#elemental 2023#pixar elemental#elemental fanart#ember lumen#wade ripple#it's so fun how just going w/the flow waviness drawing a wade is Correct. some flamey shiveriness / jaggedness in ember's lines is Correct#and it's all the more fun how it's like oh ofc not quite hitting the mark of how great their designs really are....so so good#and of course the expressive elasticity not only with their faces but the way their bodies ft. respective elements can be expressive#in addition to just usual [assume you have a usual literal human body] expressiveness options in posture / movement etc lol#also was thinking about how like we know everything we Need to know re: wade & his dad but also have so [zero details there]#which is interesting to wonder about. kinda assumed like oh a parent got sick & died but now considering how it could've been an accident..#the tiny layer of A Reaction he has when ember's talking abt parents giving up everything for you: could be nothing much; or Anything#also noting i Didn't note the first instances that they hear each other's names or introduce themselves thusly lol#or at least i sure can't recall it. just start knowing the other's name partway through which Isn't A Problem but it's like#ooh just more to consider & reexamine. i love to pick up More Details & that's helped by my difficulty in catching them in the first place#one thing about me i don't Catch things i don't Notice shit i don't Get stuff. and also of course: i do though lol#always a trip when it's like oh i love this movie i'm seeing it probably the two dozenth time#and then i notice something for the very first time that was clearly straightup meant to be Gotten upon the immediate viewing#even to the extent that smthing later seems to be kinda happening out of nowhere if you didn't. & i'd just rolled with it#like ok i'm autistic ofc that's something i gotta do all the time. & the adhd means i might keep getting distracted around the same pts.

I've heard there's heated debate on this topic but I Do Not Care, I formed a solid opinion the first time I saw one of his win screens
^ This guy HAS to be 15 ^
#my skin deep observation is that he looks a lot younger than the rest of the cast#his design uses a lot of rounded shapes aroud his face like how his glasses and how his hair sits#but he also reads as a lot smaller than the other fighters. they emphasise that a lot about him in my eyes#obviously the bed does a lot of work but even outside of it he feels like he's designed to draw attention to that#his outfit being so simple and the markings on his arms and legs kind of like. draw your eye to how small he looks if that makes sense?#there's no attempt to make him look bigger outside of the bed despite how puffed up he acts from what I've seen of him#it feels very intentional yk?#speaking of how he acts that is my crux. this guy acts 15 and I won't accept otherwise because OOF I acted that way as a know it all 15 y/o#I don't know- I just can't not read him as *young* from his design and the few lines I've heard from him#also you may notice I didn't use his name this whole post-#well thats because this ramble was prompted by another post I saw-#apparently there's a weirdo you can summon like beetlejuice if you mention him#and I'm not trying to get involved with that- I just wanted to ramble a little bit about how I see him so far#because I find him interesting! and a bit of that is definitely from how put together he's trying to present himself#but because of how he goes about it I can only read him as someone who is young and desperate to be taken seriously#anyway- I'm done talking about characters I don't know now!#sorry if I'm off base about any of this#yappin'

does anyone get unreasonably aggravated when they see someone calling a normal split-faced tortie as a chimera? like it literally couldn’t matter less, but it matters to ME, so I feel an overwhelming need to explain how no, that is NOT a chimera, that is a normal tortie, cat genetics just do that sometimes during x-inactivation because of bilateral symmetry. yippee!
#I don’t get pissed or anything#just slightly exasperated that normal people don’t understand cat genetics#which like. why would they? the Specifics of cat genetics DO NOT matter that much in the Real Life to Normal People#I on the other hand#i have a case of what we like to call Neurodivergence#and cat genetics are SUPER SUPER SUPER INTERESTING#and I don’t want misinformation to be spread about chimerism- or cat genetics in general- more than it already has#plus I loooveee talking about cat genetics. so I get a chance to explain cool stuff to people!!#…unless it’s a 6-15 year old Reddit post about Venus the cat that has so many comments and only a few people who actually know cat genetics#then I can’t do anything about it#curse you Venus the cat for making everyone believe that split-faced torties are inherently chimeras#yes I am a fan of warrior cats#yes I was annoyed when the Erins said Moonpaw was a chimera ONLY BECAUSE of her split face marking#yes I recognize that it’s a children’s series and some people shouldn’t be getting as annoyed as they are about it#no I will not stop being annoyed that now even the Erins are spreading further misinformation#I readily admit that knowing about cat genetics makes me happy because I know more about it than others so I can explain it to them#I like being right about things I guess#sun speaks#sun’s posts#cat genetics#genetics#🧬

......do I dare say r/hack for the ask meme
(head in hands. dejected.) bingo...
#putting obvious grievances aside and being objective:#i think its biggest crime is what happens with a lot of jack ships where both characters are just left lesser for it.#saying this as someone who (grits teeth) really likes jack. btw.#the dynamics that come from both resistant and compliant rhys playthroughs are interesting but lose my interest when made romantic.#i think a having a superfan of an objectively bad person meet said person and facing the reality that they are in fact. horrible.#is fun! is interesting. but to ship them muddies it for me. i just dont think its necessary to make rhys' half of tales compelling.#better as friends isnt as actual “friends” but just as temporary allies. to be clear.#and some of these i can't mark because i can see Why its popular. from a fandom sense anyway.#magnuficentwo

I want to be more authentic on my other social media platforms too, where irl people know me.
But I have such an intense fear of being perceived I sit. For 3 hours. On a post before posting it 😭😭 I literally just stare at it and have an anxiety attack lol.
And even then sometimes I end up deleting it.
Even though I only do it for myself and nobody really cares it's still ajajaja hard.
But I want people to see me more than a shallow human lol
And maybe, even if only one person likes my "true" self, then I'd be happy 🥲
But what if they bully me more ahhah I already am not the most well liked 🥲🥲🥲🥲
THOUGHTS GO AWAY lol 😭
#I want to be loved kinda#but I feel like if I keep hiding how I feel around people I will never be able to truly connect to anyone#I know. That I could open up to people irl better.#But I don't really have people that I trust that much surrounding me#So that's why even posting as small as a quote or a music on my instagram is a huge things for me#Bc maybe someone who previously found me uninteresting could idk become interested? If they see I'm also a human lol 😭#Idk this doesn't make sense but I struggled with this since I was a kid and finally I have a desire to change#I have a desire to be seen kinda ahhaah#I have a weird story but actually one time as a kid I almost choked because I didn't one to bother my mom??? I didn't want her to help me#bc I felt guilty????#And this pattern of feeling like a burden follows me like my own shadow ahaha#but I... kinda want to feel like a burden sometimes to be honest#I just wish to leave a mark in the world in one way or another#idk I wish people could remember me for my soul and not my looks and face ahaha yes idk#it's 6 am actually!! finally stayed awake ahaha.

2024 reads / storygraph
Màgòdiz
post-apocalyptic dystopia set in a dying future world where people are subjugated and controlled by a spiritual power
a group of 6 Indigenous two spirit & queer people traveling across the land to save one of their own who’s been kidnapped & attempting to free their people from subjugation
the last storyteller who keeps stories on her skin on the run with her lover, a healer and their firekeeper partner, a rebel who takes care of orphan children in the city and the brainwashed enforcer xe captures & eventually deprograms
navigating relationships and family & cultural history
#Màgòdiz#magodiz#gabe calderon#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#this is pretty good! some really interesting ideas#it’s a dystopia that focuses on Indigenous people that very much reflects the past and present violences faced#It definitely focuses on the characters & their relationships and the general brutality and oppression of the world.#the plot is just kinda..there. the ending was quite sudden - I almost wanted it to be more ambiguous#It took me a little while to figure out all the characters - it flips between 6 of them pretty fast#and I also didn’t understand the genders (specifically the way they were numbered) initially but there’s more discussion of that later#I did want more detail in some areas. For example A'tugwewinu is a storyteller who touches the marks on her skin to recite them perfectly#and she does this a number of times in the book but it’s always “she touches the mark and tells the story. [scene change]"#like I wanted to hear the stories? not all of them but at least one or two.#I feel like the flip between the enforcer being deprogrammed & their friend now happened pretty fast too#There’s lots of disabled characters and and everyone’s queer/trans which is also intertwined with culture & history#the aroace character was born without feet and made some wheel prosthetics which is very cyberpunk. xe’s cool#also a bit that made me laugh: I have a guy. what's a guy? this [grenade thing] is a guy (yeets it)

Anybody want to tell me why writing <500 word cover letters is somehow more agonising and difficult than writing a 15,000 word dissertation
#I really want this job#I am very qualified for this job#Why is it so hard to say that#Bonus points 'provide specific examples of instances where you resolved challenging situations' I'm going to level with you here#I did not particularly care for my past jobs even though my colleagues were great and I tried my best#If there was a challenging situation I had to resolve I immediately did my best to wipe it from my brain the moment I went home#I didn't expect to be quizzed on it five years later#But that might just be a me problem and that only applies for a few vacancies most don't ask this#Even though I've got a lot better at writing cover letters in the last few weeks why are they so much harder than actually hard things#Maybe it's just that I know they're not being read and my CV even less so#I don't mean that in an arrogant way I'm sure there are lots of far better qualified candidates than me#But when you're applying for roles where you tick every essential and desirable requirement and also have specialist knowledge on top#It does start to get discouraging when you're not even getting an interview#I don't mind the fact that I'm having to learn to do new hard things#I'm trying to look on this situation as an opportunity to discover the Art of the Cover Letter- truly an underappreciated genre#And improve my writing skills#But they're taking me hours and hours to write#And yet they all end up sounding basically the same in the end no matter how much I try to tailor them to the position#And still nobody's biting#I wouldn't bite either if I'm honest let's face it hearing about these so-called 'achievements' is very boring and I'm bored writing them#But do your employees have to be interesting? Can we not simply be competent? I'm sorry my Microsoft Excel skills just aren't riveting#Ok ungrateful rant over; I know everyone's dealing with this and getting bitter and resentful certainly isn't making me anymore employable#It just fascinates me that this is something my brain has decided that it Cannot Do when it finds objectively much more difficult work easy#Fave was one job posting recently I saw that wanted you to list your 'greatest achievement' and I'm proud of some stuff but I'm sorry#I'm a thirty-ish person living in Britain and we went through a plague in my mid-twenties I have no great achievements#I'm proud of my degrees; I'm proud of getting up in the morning for five years in a job I wasn't that into; I'm proud of my plants#But these are not great achievements and I have no intention of celebrating mediocrity by pretending that I think I'm fantastic#For idk stitching together some poorly-constructed datasets or getting a good mark in my essays for a Masters degree#The only thing I've ever had to do in my entire life that was genuinely difficult or important is WAY too dark for job applications
