#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan jingyi#jin ling#Surprise comic for today because this was cut from the previous comic.#And I'm so close to finishing season 2! I want to post my final comics and celebrate!#I imagine they (the juniors) hold the stabbing incident over Jin Ling's head for years. Akin to a funny typo in the group chat.#The stabbing is his Grink. Every time JL and WWX are seen interacting someone makes a teasing remark.#“I'm going to go ask Wei Wuxian what he thinks about our night hunt plans.” “Okay! Don't stab him ^-^.”#I also imagine WWX eventually leaning into it. A little bit of teasing to let it be known that there are no hard feelings.#LWJ (the funniest guy ever) would bide his time. Waiting for it to die down.#Then launch devastating blow as he joins in with “Wei Ying is in the courtyard. Please refrain from stabbing him today.”#Modern AU juniors would be brutal with the group chat lore. The pinned messages is a hall of fame and a hall of shame.#Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is sacred.#And poor jin ling is too reactionary. He is the ideal target because he flusters in a funny way.#I (the punchline friend) know my role well. I have been at the epicenter of many memorable typos and on-going bits.#You have to embrace it. Reverse it on them. Wield it as your power. Edit your messages to INCLUDE the typo.#(Fellow punchlines; I would *love* to hear your stories. Your jestery burdens. Your infamous typos. This is a safe space.)

I can barely begin to express how much the course of my life has been altered because of a 40 minute highlight video done by @jelloapocalypse and friends riffing over a 20 year old sky pirate game.
I made an off-handed comment after watching it together with two of my longtime friends, about how much I wish I had what Vyrsa had, and one of those friends STRAIGHT-UP TELLS ME that her and her wife have been crushing on me for a while.
The feeling was mutual, though I'd been of course hesitant to even hint at it.
Anyway now a few months later, we're a thruple, and we decided to honor the genesis of our relationship by cosplaying as the trio that made it a reality for my 30th birthday!
PinkCatNinja, me (CatComixzStudios), and ArtieStokes as Aika, Vyce Vyrsa, and Fina respectively, from SKIES OF ARCADIA!
And as a bonus, a comment I left on the video before my egg would crack completely (was still IDing as genderfluid at the time)
#skies of arcadia#cosplay#gabbin'#i still cannot get over how much of a bullseye this video ended up being for me#i could not possibly be more the Target Audience if i tried#cool game with hilarious commentary where the crew headcanon the main trio as a thruple?#where the lead is a trans girl?#all they need to do is make it furry and they would have basically created the Platonic Ideal of art to me#anyway special thanks to pinkcatninja for being the one to shoot her shot#and to artiestokes for working her ASS off making these costumes#we had smaller versions of the flag but we're also thinking of doing this cosplay again complete with weapon props and stuff#hoping to also get pictures if we do it again to mirror the actual thumbnail of the vid#(fun fact: the thumbnail for the video is what we use as the icon for our personal discord server)#god. wild to think that i'm probably gonna be moving in with them in the future#seriously i'm never going to get over the domino chain this video has become in my life

Just keep getting back up (Patreon)
#Doodles#Handplates#UT#Fellplates#Gaster#Asgore#The thought of Gaster able to heal himself! Rather to only have himself to rely on in a world that lives to hurt him (and everyone else)#It's an interesting inversion that's for sure#Is it as satisfying if it's not the one who deserves the broken bones? The pain of rejection or of justice retribution punishment?#It's still the same face - and it's not like he's wholly innocent here either#And besides it's always fun to draw tears hee ♪#Get him just a bit disheveled aside from the broken bone - it's hard to imagine him in different clothes even after drawing him in the dress#Softer clothes would be so nice to hold Babybones with but even just dropping a shoulder off his coat or untying his bow tie - it's strange!#I do like the image of his flower crown shedding petals when he gets roughed up tho hehe - tossed around just a little too much!#Breaking his hand right down the middle - it'd be much easier with the holes in his hands as a weak point#All his bones could break easier than his hands before that but now-#It's weird to draw Asgore like that lol I dunno....Works well enough for utility but pffblt :P I always forget his pauldrons anyhow lol#Really rubbing it in that Gaster will be fiiiine he's sooooo special what with his ability to heal >:( Lol#It does make him a bit of a target - a regenerating punching bag? Ideal to see just how far you can push him#It was fun to draw with my green coloured pencil as well ahh <3 Healing magic always gives me a bit of the warm fuzzies#It was the original comic that made me fall in love with Handplates after all ♥ Pretty and feelings <3

Subjecting someone to full-body paralysis and then using them as a doll to throw around, use as stress relief, get to say and do whatever the hell their owner wants them to, all the while they're fully conscious.
Maybe they despise it. Maybe they love it. Maybe they're on one side and want to try and fail to make themselves believe it's the other.
It doesn't matter, ultimately. What matters is this; they do not have a single ounce of control over it.
They are trapped, held prisoner with their own body. Nothing is their choice. Something as simple as choosing to stand up or sit down - choosing to socialize or isolate - choosing what to eat, what to drink, what it enjoys - choosing whether it lives or dies - it's not up to them! they can't even let the person doing it know if they're feeling bad about it, because that's as they designed it - you're going to be their doll whether you like it or not, and dolls don't get to talk beyond what they're made to do.
#posted by hecate#ideally this will be targeted at a few people. perhaps it will hit the mark - perhaps it will not.#but if it does. we feel that would be wonderful.

its sooo fun how dungeons reveal the psyche of the dungeon lord like. thistles dungeon was so planned and meticulous but so full of ghosts and unravelling at the end. mithruns dungeon was apparently so convoluted and 'made out of jealousy, lies, anger and inferiority'. marcilles dungeon was like.... that lmao, everything being brought to the same level with no real regard for what that might do to the ecosystem, and laios' dungeon ultimately ends up spilling out onto the surface. becoming one with it you might say
anyways if you were a dungeon lord what would your dungeon look like
#your dungeonsona. if you will. ur dungeon lordsona?#dungeon meshi spoilers#dungeon.... does not look like a word to me anymore.#dungeon meshi#me realising i never answered my own question. in my dungeon i force u to make ur own dungeon#to be real though probably a lot of dead ends both ways#realising that there are probably desires antithetical to. having a dungeon#but also desires that if eaten first would drastically change someones outlook/goals#and maybe even dungeon...?#i suppose a demon might eat that last though. seemed the case with thistle#so probably a very inconsistent dungeon tbh but in an unfortunately (for me) predictable way#in the sense that some areas would be like. fleshed out and detailed and others are just not good....#we cant all be thistle or laios!!!!#how quickly would someone be able to crack my dungeon?? another good question#i would be super mad if people solved it quickly#but im thinking harder about it and. that demon might starve to death dhfbbfbf#would not be an ideal target .......#but playing in the space where somehow im convinced to become dungeon lord

It seems that Eggman has finally had enough of the troublesome E 123 Omega and now seeks to destroy him, permanently. The bot for the job? Metal Sonic. Who do you think would win , with no outside influence?
Or would they be too evenly matched and their fate is mutually assured destruction.
Mutually assured destruction, if a little delayed.
Omega has Shadow and Rouge to avenge him, after all. Metal Sonic does not possess such a privilege.
#top ten posts that make me sad as hell#metal sonic#e-123 omega#to explain further- Omega is good. he is VERY good.#but he's much more of a generalist and his ideal combat is a target-rich environment of weaker robots#he can still stand up to supersonic opponents better than almost any other robot Eggman has ever designed#but in a straightforward fight he is outran by Metal. every time.#Metal Sonic is worse at fighting groups than Omega. but this isn't a group fight. it's 1-v-1#Metal's whole thing is 1-v-1 fights. an ambush predator if you will.#this is exactly the sort of circumstance Metal would favor#I have a lot of thoughts about this and I might make my own post about it. hmmmmmm.

I think I’ve watched Coraline too many times this month, because a Soong brother crossover AU just came to me.
#tell me Lore wouldn’t be a prime target for the Beldam.#logically it should also be a human child AU but it would be hilarious if Lore just crawled through the portal as a grown ass android#the most interesting part to me is trying to imagine Lore’s idealized versions of Data B-4 Noonien and Juliana!#it’s obvious that Noonien would probably be like ‘you are so perfect and I wish I would have stopped with you! 😍’#and Data would probably be ‘yes brother I would love to join in your dastardly plans! I love you and I admit that you are more perfect!’

"Among their complaints [in 1460, the Yorkists] specifically blamed the earls of Wiltshire and Shrewsbury and Viscount Beaumont for ‘stirring’ the king [Henry VI] to hold a parliament at Coventry that would attaint them and for keeping them from the king’s presence and likely mercy, asserting that this was done against [the king's] will. To this they added the charge that these evil counselors were also tyrannizing other true men* without the king’s knowledge. Such claims of malfeasance obliquely raised the question of Henry’s fitness as a king, for how could he be deemed competent if such things happened without his knowledge and against his wishes? They also tied in rumors circulating somewhat earlier in the southern counties and likely to have originated in Calais that Henry was really ‘good and gracious Lord to the [Yorkists] since, it was alleged, he had not known of or assented to their attainders. On 11 June the king was compelled to issue a proclamation stating that they were indeed traitors and that assertions to the contrary were to be ignored." - Helen Maurer, "Margaret of Anjou: "Queenship and Power in Late Medieval England"
Three things that we can surmise from this:
We know where the "Henry was an innocent helpless king being controlled and manipulated by his Evil™ advisors" rhetoric came from**.
The Yorkists were deliberately trying to downplay Henry VI's actual role and involvement in politics and the Wars of the Roses. They cast him as a "statue of a king", blamed all royal policies and decisions on others*** (claiming that Henry wasn't even aware of them), and framed themselves as righteous and misunderstood counselors who remained loyal to the crown. We should keep this in mind when we look at chronicles' comments of Henry's alleged passivity and the so-called "role reversal" between him and Queen Margaret.
Henry VI's actual agency and involvement is nevertheless proven by his own actions. We know what he thought of the Yorkists, and we know he took the effort to publicly counter their claims through a proclamation of his own. That speaks louder than the politically motivated narrative of his enemies, don't you think?
*There was some truth to these criticisms. For example, Wiltshire (ie: one of the men named in the pamphlet) was reportedly involved in a horrible situation in June which included hangings and imprisonments for tax resistance in Newbury. The best propagandists always contain a degree of truth, etc. **I've seen some theories on why Margaret of Anjou wasn't mentioned in these pamphlets alongside the others even though she was clearly being vilified during that time as well, and honestly, I think those speculations are mostly unnecessary. Margaret was absent because it was regarded as very unseemly to target queens in such an officially public manner. We see a similar situation a decade later: Elizabeth Woodville was vilified and her whole family - popularly and administratively known as "the queen's kin" - was disparaged in Warwick and Clarence's pamphlets. This would have inevitably associated her with their official complaints far more than Margaret had been, but she was also not directly mentioned. It was simply not considered appropriate. ***This narrative was begun by the Duke of York & Warwick and was - demonstrably - already widespread by the end of 1460. When Edward IV came to power, there seems to have been a slight shift in how he spoke of Henry (he referred to Henry as their "great enemy and adversary"; his envoys were clearly willing to acknowledge Henry's role in Lancastrian resistance to Yorkist rule; etc), but he nevertheless continued the former narrative for the most part. I think this was because 1) it was already well-established and widespread by his father, and 2) downplaying Henry's authority would have served to emphasize Edward's own kingship, which was probably advantageous for a usurper whose deposed rival was still alive and out of reach. In some sense, the Lancastrians did the same thing with their own propaganda across the 1460s, which was clearly not as effective in terms of garnering support and is too long to get into right now, but was still very relevant when it came to emphasizing their own right to the throne while disparaging the Yorkists' claim.
#henry vi#my post#wars of the roses#margaret of anjou#Look I’m not trying to argue that Henry VI was secretly some kind of Perfect King™ whose only misfortune was to be targeted by the Yorkists#That is...obviously pushing it and obviously not true#Henry was very imperfect; he did make lots of errors and haphazard/unpopular decisions; and he did ultimately lose/concede defeat#in both the Hundred Years War and the subsequent Wars of the Roses.#He was also clearly less effective than his predecessor and successor (who unfortunately happened to be his father and usurper respectively#and that comparison will always affect our view of his kingship. It's inevitable and in some sense understandable.#But it's hardly fair to simply accept and parrot the Yorkist narrative of him being a “puppet of a king”.#Henry *did* have agency and he was demonstrably involved in the events around him#From sponsoring alchemists to issuing proclamations to participating in trials against the Yorkists (described in the 1459 attainder)#We also know that he was involved in administration though it seems as though he was being heavily advised/handheld by his councilors#That may be the grain of truth which the Yorkists' image of him was based on.#But regardless of Henry's aptitude he was clearly *involved* in ruling#Just like he was involved in plots against Yorkist rule in the early 1460s before he was captured.#And he did have some successes! For example in 1456 he travelled to Chester and seems to have been responsible#for reconciling Nicholas ap Gruffyd & his sons to the crown and granting them a general pardon.#Bizarrely Ralph Griffiths has credited Margaret for this even though there is literally no evidence that she was involved.#We don't even know if she travelled with Henry and the patent rolls offering the pardon never mention her.#Griffiths seems to have simply assumed that it was Margaret's doing because of 1) his own assumption that she was entirely in control#while Henry was entirely passive and 2) because it (temporarily) worked against Yorkist interests.#It's quite frustrating because this one of the most probable examples we have of Henry's own participation in ruling in the late 1450s#But as usual his involvement is ignored :/#Also all things considered:#The verdict on Henry's kingship may not have been so damning if his rule hadn't been opposed or if the Lancastrians had won the war?#Imo it's doubtful he would be remembered very well (his policies re the HYW and the economic problems of that time were hardly ideal)#but I think it's unlikely that he would have been remembered as a 'failed king' / antithesis of ideal kingship either#Does this make sense? (Henry VI experts please chime in because I am decidedly not one lol)

Really nervous about this team lead promotion LOL. Yes I spend all this time on here bitching about my job but this promotion would be SO NICE and I am worried I am not """qualified enough""" for it. Like I KNOW I could be really good at the job if they gave me a chance but some people who applied are really good employees 😭😭😭
#its not that im a BAD employee#my boss just knows and understands that we BOTH do not dream of this kind of labor#we literally just discussed the other day how in an ideal world with UBI she would be a barista again and I would make clothes and jewelry#and just make stuff for myself my partner and our friends and have fun with it#mine#tales from target

watching the poughkeepsie tapes now. and regretting it. they better get real with it or im gonna be pissed
#youre most likely to be killed and/or abused by someone you know#the people targeted by serial killers are primarily sex workers and/or the unwell and unhoused#also the issue isnt really ''eek some people are evil'' it's more ''misogyny homophobia racism transphobia xenophobia etc. are rampant#and a lack of support and clear bigoted priorities of the legal system mean that fucked up things happen''#idk if there would be Psychopaths in my Ideal Marxist Society. id like to think not#but either way ...... certainly wouldnt be like this!!!

The Elite vs HOB fallout will be devastating and the most important part of the devastation will be defined by who is misted.
#kenny would be ideal he's just come back and he's said multiple times the bucks are pulling the weight for him malakai could feed on that#if kenny is misted I see him going full horrible bitch cleaner and the only person to bring him out of that is kota#nick and matt would feel unneeded and unwanted and throw themselves to hangy#matt is the emotional one out of the elite he would be the easiest target for malakai but malakai doesn't typically choose easy targets#if matt is misted he's gonna be an insufferable bratty bitch and hangy would obviously be the one to bring him out the dark#hence the 'you bring out the good in us' thing this would put hangy back with the elite but with a lot of unmended fences#nick is the one that holds everything in for the sake of the elite malakai could feast on nick and pick him apart into madness#if nick is misted by god brother that's going to be so sexy why would we want to break him from that evilness#I think it would have to take all 3 boys to bring back an evil deranged gremlin nick since each have a different bond and connection to him#either way by the calculations of my math me an hob girlie + me an elite girlie = winner#nick jackson#matt jackson#kenny omega#the elite#aew#aew lb

what i really want to know is what do you mean you don't like acid rock, taylor? what bands are you talking about when you say that? what do you mean? please don't tell me you dislike jimi hendrix taylor
#taylor swift#1989 (taylor's version)#acid rock isn't a genre i would die on any hill for#like i'm really not partial to it#but i've also never in my life pretended to like anything not even for a crush (because i'm opinionated to my core)#so i find the idea that taylor swift might have theoretically been out in the world#pretending to like all along the watchtower#to impress a boyTM#absolutely fucking wild#(like it's on brand we love her but it's on brand)#(i suspect swifties are probably not the ideal target audience for this post#just based on how everyone i talked to at opening night of the eras tour practically sneered at paramore)

I don't think I ever had this thought before and I blame my father for our recent conversations about military, since he was part of it back in our country but— after some research, apparently one of the duties of a captain is not only to teach at an army school, but also to oversee training or train units themselves. In addition to that, knowing that in Khaenri'ah there is a unique sword art (but not limited to swords) named Truthseeker, it'd be valid if he were to teach someone its philosophies or simply take someone under his wing to train them.
#knowing him it would probably take a lot#for him to do that#and enough trust as well#this goes for any kind of relationship but#whoever engages into any with him#should know and accept that they'll never be Dain's priority#heck not even he is his own priority#considering that he's actively doing things that aren't the ideal to him#for example his road of solitude when he doesn't relish it#or that underlying yearning to have someone by his side#and most likely it would also have to be someone#who knows minimally about what he's doing#because he's been teasing that whoever knows about him#are bound to have countless problems#if the Abyss Order alone were to find out#I'm sure some lackeys would do one's life impossible for instance#as some of them can target single individuals#like they did with Diluc#so... yeah#not without its difficulties#but it can work as a new path for interaction

i think i gotta pl;ay fallout 4 ..
#YAPPING this morninh#i tried watching the show i DIDNT LIKE IT. i would rather play the games#in middle school i tried fallout3 but i never felt incentivized to explore the world after getting out of the vault .#i think beth esda games are just like that though idk. ive been playing wolfing stein 2 (2017) and it feels like. beth esda uncharted#i think its just bc its an action adventure and you have like a little team and so far it hasnt been open world the way it was advertised#but ive been getting into the lore of the world in falloiut and im really enjoying it so maybe my game tastes have changed idk its worth a#shot :D i watched this video abt ghoul being an embodiment of the mythologized wild west genre in american pop culture history and how#pervasive a fantasy like that is. the continuation of manifest destiny and rooted in white supremacy yk. but also through the fallout lens#of 'Look at this idealized nuclear family/ american dream and look who it excludes look how it fails' and its really making me wanna try#playing again. i think one of my biggest flaws that i hate is that i cannot tolerate playing old games that are ugly in retrospect .... i#just cant.... i cant play the first red dead its too ugly im sorry... but i WILL research the lore and stuff#anyway thats why i think ill try 4. im just worried i wont like it bc you know.. i like platform action adventures.. not corny shit like#uncharted but idk maybe its an antiquated way of designing games but i like levels i like being given a campaign. i think my favorite way a#game works is like the way red dead does it. the story progresses but you can also explore on your own time. and the world changes as the#story progresses. idk i think i just maybe am not the target audience for any bethesda game LMFAO. anyway if anyone wants to give some#wise words regarding this Advice opinions etc feel free to send asks leave replies dm me :D

i don't read enough loz fic to know what the popular fanon is so maybe this already exists but there should be a revali and zelda besties agenda i think it would be good for them
#loz#botw#zelda#revali#i will be posting tonight like the champions never died#anyway just decided this. I think they would've initially bonded over having the same issue with link#cause they both initially don't like him bc they both view him as having had his destiny handed to him basically#while they work and work and work and still feel that they aren't seen as good enough#and then I think the fact that revali is really abrasive would be appealing to zelda tbh#cause she's a princess and often very composed in most of the memories she's having to sort of suppress a lot of her emotions#like she obviously gets very loud and angry with link but I really don't think that's her normal behavior#I think she does that both cause obviously he's the person it's easiest to pin all her frustration on#but ALSO because he's the only one she really CAN yell at. the people she's frustrated at are her 1. her dad#2. herself. and 3. link. other people around her would seem generally blameless for The Situation#she can't yell at her dad there's only so much you can do about hating yourself and no one ever wants to acknowledge that you hate yourself#you'd rather just hate someone else. and link is the easiest target of the three#and then on top of that link is generally very unreactive which pisses her off to no end initially#BUT does make yelling at him a thing with no consequences#anyway that was long winded but what I'm saying is that zelda is a person surrounded by very composed people#who has to be very composed herself. link being the one exception. but she's so angry and sad all the time#and not often able to vent her frustrations#BUT revali is so abrasive and rude like I think if zelda was friends with him it would be a great bitch4bitch moment#and then on revali's end like I think zelda would be SO fascinated in the science behind his flying technique#and he'd fucking preen at that he'd love it he'd be like she hates that twink too AND she appreciates my skill. ideal bestie material#and he doesn't seem like a very spiritual person. bird. bird person. so while I definitely don't think he's THE ONLY person#telling zelda “hey you don't need to be doing this much praying your other contributions are good also”#it's still always good for zelda to have more people in her corner#and I do think he'd acknowledge the skill she has in other areas bc it's something she worked hard on I think he'd do that#realizing 90 percent of that was “why zelda needs revali as a bff” and not the other way around#always thinking of my girl exclusively it's true. never beating the zeldapilled allegations
