#without them taking to too much time

I want to get to the good part of this blastvoid thing I'm writing but i do NOT want to write the part before it and I'm procrastinating so fucking hard

Like i know what i want and it'll be satisfying but it's like the reverse of eating beef jerky, where this is the tough gross part you just need to swallow before getting to the fucking SPPIUCCE

For some low-effort doodles, I'm dead curious about how the kids interact with their parents as they age. Just mundane stuff they do together. Does amayas or amara have a "favorite" dad? And like, if you wanna get wild with it, do either of them act Too Much Like Their Dad sometimes?

You can love Snape, but as a fan, I think it't undeniable that he had mouldy underwear and was so neglected that he likely overlooked many hygienic habits in childhood and adolescence, maybe even later on. You lot treat the fact that he was extremely poor and suffered the consequences as something that could never possibly have happened to the precious one lol

I have a whole ass meta on why him being unhygienic is not just "deniable", but highly unlikable and inconsistent with how he is portrayed. you are welcome.

also, the idea that all people who grew up in significant poverty are automatically unhygienic as adults is ridiculous and disgusting. saying this as a person whose mom grew up in Snape-like conditions.

Gng you MUST draw Kaito I am BEGGINGGGG gang 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do I? :D Who knows, maybe I might one day. I certainly do have some Kaitos lurking in my neverending wip-stash already.

(No context, but each image is its own thing. Wish I could share more but they're either too messy or half-done, but showing them would kinda spoil the surprise.)

His hair breaks my brain so much. And I keep forgetting his goatee and then wonder for an hour what's off about his face (I have the same issue with Gonta's eyeglasses tho lol)

I have to say this, I'm so curious about the approach they took for ALAYM in the movie because to me at least that scene and song are so clearly meant to be interpreted as them making love, so I wonder if they'll at least imply it in some way or if they decided not to aknowledge that aspect of it at all. Which wouldn't bother me, I don't think a sex scene is strictly necessary at all, it's just. I really am curious about it because again I feel like even the lyrics are subtle but also not that subtle about it.

You know I really love how Squid Game pushes it's scenes so far that it makes you feel that sense of urgency and distress that the characters feel. It can easily happen that if a scene goes on for too long for the purpose of keeping you in suspense that it then gets boring or annoying. But that never happens in Squid Game. Some scenes are incredibly long, especially the games, I know I got so stressed out watching Dalgona for the first time because the scene just would not end. But that's exactly what the length of that scene is supposed to do for you. Often when you are feeling a lot of anxiety or are in a moment of intense stress everything around you can feel slower. Like time takes longer to pass. Especially when you have a time limit and still need to concentrate and not make any mistakes. And in my opinion Squid Game conveys that perfectly. The games, they drag on even though a game itself is often not that long. Red Light, Green Light has a timelimit of 5 minutes. That's so little!! But they make you feel every damn second of it while watching. I'm not sure if the actual scene was longer than 5 minutes, but it probably was. But they don't cut out stuff. Often when things happen over a span of time in shows and movies they don't add in parts where not much happens and just cut to the part that's interesting again. But in Squid Game because it is life or death and because of how anxiety can make you feel like time is passing slower every moment for the players feels so long and every moment is important. And that's what I really love in how they made the show. Because yes scenes may be going on for a long time. But they're showing you in the most realistic way possible how the players experience these moments. Add to that that there's almost no added in music like pop songs and in general there's not that much background music either. Because it would just take you out of the intensity of the scene, seperate you from the character's point of view. So a lot of scenes are very quiet in the way that every sound you hear is also a sound that a character inside the show is hearing too. Squid Game, just in the way it's made and filmed and in how long scenes take, is made to be so realistic and wants you to feel as closely as possible to what the characters themselves are feeling too. I really love this way of making a show

Btw I made this post because I realized that this doesn't just happen in the games but also outside of them. When Gi-hun is searching for the recruiter we get a montage of all of them searching, the days passing and Gi-hun ripping off pages from his calendar, but even here that montage takes longer than a montage to show the passage of time usually takes. Because it is long. They can't show us every day of Gi-hun just searching again and again but they can sure make us feel like we've just watched that. And you start out watching it thinking "oh they're gonna show us them finding him in like the next 30 second" but they don't. And there's one point where you think the montage is over but then it isn't. And you get frustrated watching it because "why can't they find the recruiter already?? This is taking so long" and that's Exactly how Gi-hun is feeling in that moment. They drag it out, they show you so much of everybody just searching and days passing and they Want you to be annoyed, because then you're really getting it. You're really getting how fucking long it took to find the Recruiter and what a painfully and annoyingly slow and exhausting process it was. And that's just another way that this show is so damn amazing!!! Because it's so fucking good at making you feel exactly what a character is feeling!! They're not just telling you "oh yeah this took long but they did it", no. They're Showing you exactly how long it took.

And suddenly we've arrived at one of my favorite story telling rules which is "show, don't tell" and I think Squid Game applies this rule really really well

(I have more rambly thoughts under the cut that have a little bit to do with this post but focus on another part of it. Also if the structure of this post feels weird that's probably because I had many different thoughts and just kinda put them where I felt they fit in best so idk, I have a hard time rereading stuff I've written so sorry if the flow of it feels off)

Tbh I think it might also be a little bit why the show appeals to so many people and why so many people go and participate in Squid Game the Challenge or that Mr Beast shit. With the way Squid Game is made and filmed to be so immersive it has the power to give the viewer that same rush of adrenaline that the players inside the show feel. But us viewers sit at home and we know we are safe and so we want more of that adrenaline. It's maybe kind of like Bungee Jumping. You get that rush, that thrill of "holy shit I'm Falling", but you know you're safe. You're doing something you would otherwise only experience right before death. And obviously that is what Squid Game the Challenge is like, because being in it you know if this was real, as in real the way it is real in the show, then you'd be very close to death at any given moment. But you're not. Because you don't die if you fail. But you still get that thrill because of that association with death without actually having to be afraid of it. And that's when it gets fun. And while I don't think that this was intended the show is partly also as popular as it is, Because just by watching it you get a little bit of that adrenaline that's fun for you because you know you're safe

Also another thought about the 'show, don't tell' point of it all. There's not that much talking happening in Squid Game. Like people obviously speak to each other but often there are also long periods of time where nobody is speaking at all. But that doesn't matter because this show is so good at showing us everything that is important without much words needed. I'm pretty sure you could watch it without sound or subtitles and still get most of the plot of it. And that's really impressive

You may have noticed, but I like playing with concepts involving the multiverse. Be it the space between, or the infinite realms, or any other title you may grant it! The multiverse is vast and infinite, with everything that can exist and all those variations. Hell, the whole point of World Hoppers (whenever I finally get around to making/sharing that) is that no one can control the infinite. Yet, in Danny Phantom ghost king aus, it seems like he’s supposed to be in charge of the infinite realms, as if one world wasn't already too much to handle.

Anyway this is to say I like to think the various ghost kings only have jurisdiction over limited territories, which may imply they need an annual meeting to reestablish boarders to account for worlds/realms drifting around. If anyone wants context behind the specific scenario I had in mind drawing this, please let me know, but the point of this was just having fun drawing other people’s ghost kings:

Seen here from left to right is @wanologic’s College AU, @pineconewithapencil’s design from This post, and @jackalspine’s crown cage situation :3

Note that I got permission from Pinecone to absolutely wing it on what the rest of this design might look like, seeing as they don’t have a full design to reference from. Pine’s final design may be entirely different than what’s shown here, but I’d say I’m good at working off of vibes like this.

I haven’t done much style imitation before, and honestly this was fun! I learned some things and got a new trick for drawing ice and gem-like things! Trying to figure out how things are made is fun and interesting, but most of the difference here comes down to coloring styles as my own habits bled through the line art process a lot.

hi Gang its murder time trio back with another Mettaton

haha! i guess you could say they Kist. wait that not the right ship whoops

I think that Orym actually does doubt Imogen, but this isn't a thing that is unique to Imogen. Orym doubts all of them to an extent, because paranoia is something he struggles with (and this is continuously reinforced by the story).

It's not a 'good' thing that he should never get over, nor is it an immoral character flaw that proves he actually hates Imogen. However it's also not something I think he can get over as long as the threat of having to possibly fight his friends exists.

going on anon because I’m just a shy mutual (pls don’t play guess who) but what do we think about cult Geto, spankings and corner time (but he’s just teasing tf outta u)?

Infantilization, mommy kink, punishment, spankings, mdni

IAHSMBSJDVDJVDJDBDJDBDN FINE I WON'T INVESTIGATE YOU MOOTNON 🫵🫵🫵 You're lucky i have respect for the residents of tumblrville

Typically I have no trouble yapping away about mommy suguru spankings (good shit) BUT WITH CULT SUGURU ITS ACTUALLY A REALLY INTERESTING DYNAMIC!!!!! bcuz the way i see him is..goofier more devoted, incredibly lovesick and doesn't really try to infantilize you as much as he mothers you yk???? Its so hard ro explain, he does think "my baby my baby my baby" when you come to mind but out of all the sugurus he sees u as an independent adult the most (also its very easy for him to fall into submission and subservience since he quite literally worships you) its really hard to explain honestly we can get to that on a separate post later on,,, but what im trying to say is that this image of him clashing with how...pregnant he looks in canon (TATATATATTATATAT) is nice its a nice contrast he just can't help but be mother HUH

ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!! All this to say that actually....this is some heat LMFAOOO this is banger, there's this element of a power imbalance that heavily depends on your standing and whatnot, but in any case he's very dominating and charismatic (cult leader starter pack). For some reason i can't imagine cult mommy suguru without a little but of dollification and feminization, i think he's a huge fan of thigh high stockings and cute little nightgowns some bows and frills here and there, its very lowkey tho,,

STAYING LOYAL TO THE ORIGINAL CULT GETOU CONCEPT!!!! i still think he'd never let his cultists see you, and if anything i think he's much more stricter about it now, we all know how he feels about non sorcerers, so he's definitely not budging about that, and while he does spoil and treat you really really well, he will actually fucking flip if he caught you trying to initiate contact with any of the cult members, this is NOT a game he will genuinely spank your ass raw AND SEND YOU to the corner don't play with him 😭😭 will 100% make you count each time his palm comes down on your tender flesh and you have to thank mommy for correcting you afterwards too (he's evil but he's just trying to protect you 😭) but again for the millionth time this is just care taking to him, tough love yk? Its nurturing in a way, making sure you stay in line no matter how hard it is for him to excute the punishments is a huge display of love, giving you what you really need.

He's not heartless or cold tho, Suguru does feel guilty afterwards and invites you to curl up in his lap and suckle on his nipples or fingers while he gently massages your sore ass and coos little apologies (does slide in some scolding tho 😭😭) "mommy's so sorry baby but you were misbehaving so much today, and its my job to make sure you stay good right?"
