I'm trying to just get back into drawing more so have some sketchy sketches

[ohbo-ohno]

hate the stage of writing smut where you have to come up with conversation that isn't the most boring ever. why do they have to talk before they fuck. can't i just be like "blah blah blah, you get it, here's smut". transitional dialogue should never be necessary in porn but here we are!!!

In the art of sasuke with the bottle naruto is keeping score of his beetles fighting and the page says "nasa" or NS too lol

I see SA and NA. And Naruto is apparently winning.

Interesting visual language.

Not only it shows team seven dynamic pretty accurately, it is also humorous and clever.

So it's summer season and it's hot out and team seven is enjoying watermelons. Watermelon as a fruit is quite tied up in Japanese culture. It's considered quite a luxury. Watermelons are offered as gifts. Fruit is generally quite expensive in Japan. And watermelon is quite a popular summer fruit there. It's symbolic of summers. As it should be. They also grow square watermelon in Japan btw. They are always up to something, in that country. Lol.

Anyway, I digress.

Naruto is in his own world and it makes sense because the time period is pre time skip, when Naruto was generally more obtuse about his feelings for Sasuke. He is playing a Beetle match, where Naruto beetle is winning against Sasuke beetle. Naruto is on top of the world heheh, my lil sweetheart. This is basically proof that their rivalry was never rivalry in the true sense. It was always a way for Naruto to get close to Sasuke, which is something Naruto tried to repress a lot but it all came out during vote one. In war arc, Naruto doesn't even hesitate to admit Sasuke is better than him. Like it's not even a matter of concern for him. He has already seen what Sasuke is capable of, he also knows Sasuke holds contempt for Kakashi and Sakura, for valid reasons too, but he tries to keep peace. But he is not lying about Sasuke being a remarkable shinobi, he already knows Sasuke is better than Sakura or Kakashi at battles.

It was never really about rivalry. And even though they both improved with a healthy competition between them, at the core of it, they are a team, a unit, the real cell 7, the main act. All Naruto wanted was to be able to talk to Sasuke, have his friendship and companionship. He didn't know any other way, he is an orphan who has always been on his own. He acts on instinct and his instinct told him that Sasuke was equally motivated to be a better warrior, just like him, and that was one platform where they could converge, they could establish contact that didn't require them to confront the more confusing feelings they felt for each other. At least for Naruto.

Sasuke of course is much more in touch with his feelings regarding Naruto, pretty much in his character, he knowingly and premeditatedly died for his beloved in land of waves arc, for love. In this art, even though Sasuke is annoyed at Naruto's obliviousness, his gaze is entirely focused on Naruto, oblivious to everyone else there. Including Sakura lol. Again very much in character. It's one of Sasuke's pet peeves, how much he is not able to resist Naruto's charm despite his obliviousness and Sasuke loathes himself for it but still cannot help it. His expression here looks like annoyance with a hint of longing. He loves Naruto and certainly tries to get his attention.

In land of waves arc, he matches his pace with Naruto while blushing as Naruto is rattled and suspicious of Sasuke but all Sasuke intended was to be by his side, as it is later symbolised as well, in chapter 698, where they are holding each other's phantom hands, lying half dead side by side but smiling and happy. And their interlocked hands look like a bloody heart. Btw Sasuke had already accomplished something in the first arc itself which happened to be something Hinata wanted since day one and couldn't accomplish until her cousin had to facilitate it for her in the last arc. By dying. And even in that panel, holding Hinata's hands, Naruto looks like he just saw a ghost lol. With Sasuke, he looks finally at peace.

Sasuke tries to get Naruto's attention when he asks him about chakra control. Naruto is so surprised hehehe. Subtext - Why is he coming to me for help, is he up to something? Well, I am not going to give him the satisfaction. 👅.

And Sasuke mentally facepalms himself.

Naruto's obliviousness needles Sasuke, he is the ultimate tsundere, PTSD ridden warrior/avenger who has steeled his heart against love, but still can't help opening up to that one idiot he adores so much but the idiot is too naive to get it. Alas. Lol. I mean there's a reason he anointed Naruto as his 'usuratonkachi' (thin hammer, a casual insult meant for slow, useless folks).

Sakura is standing at a distance, focused on Sasuke and trying to get his attention but to no avail because he is busy mentally cursing both himself and Naruto.

Sakura is practically wetting herself, pun unintended, her body language is reminiscent of Hinata's in this panel.

Look at the body language of both Sakura and Hinata. Both holding their knees together, bashful, their bodies bunched up what with all the butterflies in their stomach, probably increased heart rates and resultant nervousness, you can practically see their heart eyes that are focused on their object of desire. Sakura of course is more obvious about her object of desire while Hinata is more shy. But both are in the throes of their crush, while the boys are totally, indubitably, entirely unaware of the girls' existence. Lol.

Kakashi obviously is far away from them, camouflaged, almost invisible to the eye. Not interacting with his team. Pans out. The great copy ninja, never even began to understand Sasuke, Naruto or Sakura. Mostly instinctively wrong about all of them. heh. Where you see Gai's involvement with his team, where he backs Lee without question, where he scolds Tenten when she complains about the hard training, treating her just like how he would treat a boy. Or Neji, when he is the only one to back him up after his chuunin battle with Hinata is concluded, what with her embarrassing defeat and everyone descends down to defend her.

Kakashi on the other hand thinks Sakura is not violent, who is not the bragging type, who loves Sasuke like a mature woman, who thinks Sasuke was in the wrong about everything he did including his disdain towards Sakura and his own goal of killing Itachi, who thinks Naruto and Sasuke are rivals and that's what motivated Naruto. Of course he is wrong about all of it. But that's all in his character. An emotionally inept yes man.

Finally, there was something I had noticed about Sasuke in this art but I always felt a little hesitant talking about it. Yes, the bottle in his mouth. Now if you look at it, the mouth of the bottle stops at Sasuke's lips. It doesn't seem that the neck of the bottle is that long that part of it would be inside Sasuke's mouth.

You can clearly see the rim of the bottle at Sasuke's lip. Which is the right way of drinking from a bottle. But the sweat drop, the towel and his bangs collectively make it look like the neck of the bottle is totally inside his mouth and is protruding when it isn't. It's a visual trick. lol.

Kindly refrain from saying it's accidental, please don't insult your intelligence and the artists'. Kishi is not an amateur, he knows what he is doing. Very well. He has admitted Sasuke was the character he put the most effort in order to render his design and expressions right.

He is very attentive to detailing and his own brand of visual approach. And it's not like this is the only suggestive art he made for Sasuke and Naruto. Heheh.

The only thing that seems out of character in this art is the plate kept under Naruto's chin that is collecting all the dripping watermelon juice. No way Naruto would use a plate for this reason. I doubt it would even occur to him. Hahaha. Maybe Sasuke kept it there, it's possible. That would be in his character.

In any case, the supposed team seven dynamic is pretty visually consistent in this art, where Sakura is kept out of the picture, so is Kakashi. Both of them quite far back in the background. So Kishi wants you to notice Naruto and Sasuke first. And the watermelon. Sasuke's expression naturally takes your eyes to Naruto again and forces you to pay more attention. And then you see the other details, like the beetle match and scoreboard. After that, you see Sakura in the background and it surprises you that she is so far at the back doing something suggestive like that. But it makes sense because when it comes to Sasuke and Naruto's relationship, that's where she stands. Far away in the back, lol. And then, you are just entirely surprised to see Kakashi is even there. Most people simply miss him. And when you do notice him, you think, well that's silly.

Sakura wants Sasuke's attention desperately but she cannot have it, it's registered only for Naruto. Heheh. While Naruto is just lost in his own fantasy of being with Sasuke while Sasuke is just frustrated at his innocence.

Bang on Kish. Once again.

Okay so the new (leaked?) image to me looks like it could be from the same scene as the production shot:

It looks to me like Spider is still wearing his exopack strap (and mask in photo 1), possibly still strung over him. I think it's more likely Spider is just lying down/experimenting with what it feels like rather than actually going inside the link??

I'm really not sure!!! 😭😭😭 I just don't KNOW because we also have this interview from Jack Champion:

"So I did two years of performance capture with the rest of the cast on the grey soundstage volume you know... acting with them, right next to them, and then I did another two and a half years in New Zealand of live action with blue paint on in my loincloth, by myself, acting to tennis balls and foam faces and stuff.... and honestly it 's not as hard as it seems because once you have built up that rapport - that bond - with someone years ago, and I've done all my scenes already, so.. that was just a giant rehearsal, and I'm doing them now for real, I can just look back on my past acting experience during that time and just use it for the scene."

From this it sounds like all of the performance capture that Jack Champion did was only used somehow as reference for interacting with other Na'vi/recoms, and then they did the live action stuff when they knew already what the blocking needed to be.

the coming out ask becomes even more hilarious if you think about jean having twitter wars with people replying to the comment

some random guy who was at an event at the same time as kevin: he smiled at me once and i came in my pants

jean, almost foaming at the mouth: what the fuck did you just say

especially if it happens to be a celebrity that they interact with pretty often, who now has a 6'5 man trying to set them on fire with his eyes

(you can't really blame him, he's been dealing with this for 5 years and can only now do anything about it)

phew okay, catching up on my asks b/c Dec & Jan have been train wrecks on my schedule, but these asks are all amazing and too good to stay buried in my inbox...

Anon, this is HYSTERICAL. I LOVE picturing Jean starting twitter wars b/c he is going to DEFEND HIS MAN (ahem, MEN). And honestly, it's totally something I feel like Jean does with relish once Kev is officially ~his~.

JEREMY: *speaking quietly on the side of the red carpet* Jean, babe, you can't threaten to punch Ryan Gosling in the mouth every time we see him.

JEAN: But he put Kev on his list of most handsome men in Hollywood! And did you SEE the way he looked at him over the cheese table???

---

KEVIN: so...is the plan to avoid Luke Evans forever? Because I'm thinking that's going to be a problem since he's one of our team's main sponsors.

JEAN: He is a THREAT. And I will treat him as so.

KEVIN: Uh-huh. But you know I'm going to have to shake his hand, right?

JEAN: *HISSES*

KEVIN: *sighs*

--- *slightly NSFW* ---

JEREMY: um...how long has he been there exactly?

KEVIN: *not looking up from his book* four hours.

JEREMY: ...

KEVIN: it started with a comment about my latest headshot and devolved from there.

JEAN: *typing furiously* the FUCK do you mean he wouldn't look good in a collar? He'd look AMAZING. He'd be the bestest boy in the whole damn world, don't you DARE fucking come at me -

KEVIN: I've been tuning him out for the last three.

JEREMY: uh...*blushes*...well, I mean....he's not wrong

KEVIN: *Lifts an eyebrow as he slowly puts book down before smirking at him* oh, this isn't about me anymore. For the last hour, he's moved on to you.

JEREMY: *swallows* oh.

First of all: I love Anon. I’ve sent you so much crap. (Sorry)

Second of all, thank you very much for writing your content, because whenever I go looking for Jason stuff it’s always “Jason x Reader”, and I just wanna torture the guy, yknow?

Third of all, was reading a thing where the bats read fanfic about them, and it reminded me of the Tweet fic, and I have no doubt that somewhere in that universe is a rated E (NOT for everyone) BatKnight enemies to lovers fic, and that must haunt everyone who knows the truth of their relationship.

Aww, thanks! And yeah...like. To each their own. Write for yourself. I just don't wanna be involved. I died enough times in Choose Your Own Adventure (oof, being burnt at the stake...uh-uh) to not wanna go through that again. :/

Jason: Whyyyyyyyyyyy meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Antoine: Look. For the last time. That. Was. An accident. There were bombs in the road. We'd forced an emergency evac. We'd threatened the United States Military. I think a drone ran over a cop car with the cop inside. I know two more dumbasses got blown up fucking with one of the APCs. I didn't think that would happen.

Bit more Vesperposting, mainly abt Jala and his relationship over time!

It's another relationship that's not fully developed, but I know the general outline. Vesper and Jala met as cadets (she's his senior by a few years) bc they were in the same training group. Vesper obv was not good at making friends, but due to her casual attitude and chill nature he eventually warmed up to her. Jala quickly found his secret dorky side and stubbornly determined attitude endearing. They got pretty close as friends, and eventually were put in the same squad as officers. They continued growing closer until they ended up in a sort of situationship. Friends with benefits I suppose. Not quite dating, but definitely more than casual.

They were both dissatisfied with the military and how things were being run, and Jala often encouraged Vesper to take breaks with her and slack a little which he'd take her up on. Vesper worked really hard to get to a position that involved regular space travel, and was grateful that Jala had managed to stay in the same group with him for so long. They always had one another to lean on. They had each other's backs in combat too, saving each other's skins more times than they'd ever bother to count. Things between them weren't well defined, but they were stable and comfortable for many years.

Pansa's media campaign really disrupted things. Jala had always felt quite proud of herself for being the one person Vesper truly cared for, with her only "competition" being Asteria who obviously didn't count. So seeing Vesper develop a rapid attachment to and admiration for Pansa bothered her.

It would've been fine if it was just some celebrity crush or something. She even found it dorky and cute at first. What actually made it hurt was that Vesper started putting that admiration above their friendship. He threw himself into work more than ever. Vesper had always worked hard, but now he was letting it take up pretty much all of his time, and he started getting promoted which actively split them up. It made Jala pretty upset. How could he care more about some stranger that he'd never even met than he did about spending time with her?

Now that Vesper was a higher-ranking officer, they couldn't just hang out during work anymore, they had to find time to message each other and meet up, which Vesper was making less and less effort to do. Admittedly, Jala didn't make things much better. She'd try to make plans when she knew Vesper would be busy, testing whether he'd choose "work" (Pansa, really) over her. And of course, he would. When they did talk she'd be pretty passive-aggressive and sarcastic, which deep down she knew Vesper wouldn't be able to read into, and because Vesper couldn't pick up on the real source of her feelings it would just end up in fights about much he works. Some of it was genuine worry too, on both of their ends. Jala missed him a lot and saw how he was running himself ragged. Vesper cared about Jala's feelings but couldn't understand why she was mad at him, instead feeling like she was just attacking him because he was more successful than her. Their friendship didn't end with some huge fight or dramatic goodbye. It ended bitterly. Slowly. They just stopped reaching out, too busy with their own feelings and goals to make an effort anymore.

Years later when Jala got the invitation to meet with him again for some sort of "interview," she was skeptical and a little pissed off. He finally reaches out to her only for it to be about work. She told herself that she was only accepting so she could go to his big fancy office and give him a piece of her mind. But really, she couldn't deny that she wanted to see him again. She'd been fully ready to turn him down. And then he started with "I've missed you." He told her the truth, that he needed an advisor because he's not equipped to make these massive decisions on his own. Not to mention the mountainous workload he's been trying to dig himself out of for months. He needs someone he can trust, and who won't be afraid to tell him when he's wrong. He needs her. It was the admission of attachment that she'd been wanting to hear for a long time. An affirmation that he had actually cared about her, that he STILL cares about her after all this time. Jala didn't accept right away. They ended up just talking in his office for a while catching up. It was the most peaceful conversation they'd managed to have for a very long time. So after a lot of thinking, Jala accepted the job and moved into the Citadel as the first Lieutenant General of Pansa's reign. It still took quite some time to actually properly mend their relationship, but they've both matured a lot and were able to eventually have an honest and direct conversation about their feelings and give some genuine apologies. And now they're best friends again! Having Reid around helps a lot too. He's able to fill in some of the missing parts of the dynamic, being a very sweet and emotionally open person compared to Vesper's coldness and Jala's sarcasm. Jala's still a little bitter about Pansa, tell you the truth. She's had to just kind of accept that he'll always be #1 in Vesper's heart no matter what she does. But she's very happy to have Vesper back in her life, and she's got Reid for company now too. Plus she genuinely likes her job. Good pay, great benefits, free housing, it's a real treat without even having to get up from her desk most of the time. So she's forcing herself to just be okay with Pansa and Vesper, because that's just what's going to keep everyone the happiest.

Also just for fun, here’s a Jala drawing from forever ago! She should def be more blue but it’s good enough for now:
