Hiya 👋 not that I want the fun to end anytime soon, but I'm sure Roddy drift and megs eventually get de-toddlered. And I have to know, how do they take it? Like is there any embarrassment? Is Roddy still fond?( cue him"mommy?,,sorry") What I wouldn't give to get a lil break down of their thoughts and feelings💞
Anonymous asked: Pt/2 I also think it would be kinda funny to just f with them a little bit "hey, I raised you better than that" 😆
Anon, I don't know what's better:
The dynamic of Giant!Liaison and their boys. Like no one else is good enough for their parent, and all three can make life very, very difficult for any mecha sniffing around their creator.
Or Batmobile!Liaison and all the embarrassment those three, especially Megatron, will have because the parent-child bond still exists. Mommy is a Big-Ass Tank with a big lap and a comfortable EM field that tries to reach out and soothe away their stress. Everyone is mortified. Liaison cannot stop it. It's a natural reaction after being around those three for a long while...
For shits and giggles, and the fact it gets under his co-captain's plating, Rodimus would yell in public at Megatron to think of their poor 'tor!
Of course, Roddy would go back to Batmobile when absolutely sloshed and crash into their lap for some pets and for that reassuring field that curls steadily around him.
None of them could hide from the Liaison, not unless they actively suppress the bond, so the medics take advantage of it to hunt them for their checkups.
All three have far more warmer feelings towards Tailgate (he and Liasion are bros and he was a frequent babysitter) and the medics, but Drift will have a powerful urge to bite their hands...

they make me feel unwell
(continued: Stan & Young Ford)
#the flip side is that Grunkle Stan and Young!Ford are really funny to draw. But these two? I think about them and start sobbing#anyway been trying to draw a little Time Travel AU stuff. specifically The grunks meeting their 30-something-year-old selves#oldies in the 80s AU#if you will#its like god imagine being completely no contact with your brother and then BAM a guy who has the EXACT relationship you want shows up#and he's being really nice to you and you're pretty sure you've passed out and this is a dream but you really dont want to wake up#and on Ford's side he is suddenly face to face with this really beat up younger version of his brother and its like uh oh! Guilt!#Best behaviour time. cannot be ribbing this one like he would've been if Grunk Stan got injured.#Which only adds to the whole 'I'm bleeding out after being beaten up and this is a fever dream' feeling on Stan's side#cw injury#cw blood#i mean drawn and cartoony but still#gahh kinda want to completely redo this from scratch but tis what it tis#Gravity Falls#Gravity Falls time travel AU#time travel au#is time stuck a specific thing or general term for time travel in the fandom? I feel like its a specific thing.#like how iirc twins in time is when its the baby stans with the older ones. but idkkk idkkkkkkk!!!#GF Fan art#gravity falls fanart#fan art#fanart#Ford pines#grunkle ford#stanford pines#stan pines#stanley pines#mullet stan#young stanley pines#my art

Lan Wangji goes to Lotus Pier (No relation to the AU of the same name)
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#Another split type comic because I decided to be ambitious.#This flashback is currently beating my ass. There are so many timeskips within the flashback! My flow and pacing are wheezing!#I loved how this scene starts with the crowd's point of view. The observations and gossip add a lot.#And it helps reposition us to what the external perspective is on these two. Namely that 'they don't get along.'#Tensions are known! Even here in Nouveau Lotus Pier.#Ah...Lan Wangji never got a chance to see the Lotus Pier of Wei Wuxian's childhood and adolescence...did he?#It's not the same. He's not the same. Call them by the same name and people will know what you mean...#...but the first version - the one with the fond memories - is gone for good.#It's sort of interesting isn't it? How names can hold so much power and still be hollow?#We often get stuck over past versions of things. Be it ourselves or other people or places.#Change is scary but the truth is nothing ever stays the same. It's always moving. You're always moving.#It's okay to mourn the past. Maybe it's people you lost or the person you hoped to be. Let yourself feel the grief.#And then? Then you grow around that pain and keep on going. If you feel like you can't - remember you don't have to do it alone.#A side note: Listening to the tossing flowers extra is so essential for this scene. It's cute and gives us more of [redacted]#What's [redacted]? You'll see in the next comic!

realizing i have. a lot of untapped trauma potential for clone^2 danny because i just Fully Processed Four Months Late the fact that his parents were capturing and torturing ghosts in the basement before he became Phantom. and the fact that he was on house rest for 2 weeks. during that time period. and he wasn't really leaving the house. he could hear their screaming through the floorboards
*points at clone danny* i can give you suuuuuuch a bad time babe ahaha. i've got two untouched years before you meet damian what fucks you up before then
#dpxdc#dp x dc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#dpdc#clone^2#danny fenton is a clone#like i dont even need to traumatize you worse the pure explorative options from this aLONE is enough to feed me for a week.#like. tucks hair behind ear let me shatter you into glass pieces then glue you back together babe. i can put you back together so good.#i'm missing a few shards because some parts of you broke into such small pieces i couldn't pick them back up again so you'll be missing a#few chunks of yourself that you'll never get back but that's okay. you'll still be a resemblance of your old self :]#don't let anakin (me) listen to late night sad songs he makes angst.#hhh imagine being stuck in a house for two weeks where you can hear your parents torturing ghosts in the basement and not only that but#you're the only person who can undERSTAND the ghosts. how many times did he see his parents drag in a ghost with whatever capturing device#they made recently? iirc the thermos was like. brand new in episode one right? but gOD the trauma this alone would cause#nobody touch me im cooking rn i need to think about how this would impact danny. like obvs it would fuel into a developing obsession to#keep his parents away from ghosts and to help the dead but what *else.* i need to refine my becoming phantom ficlet i wrote back in winter#raaa#and like even after two weeks they were *still capturing ghosts* danny just wasn't in the house 24/7 at the time.#*but those two fucking weeks man*#i need to sleep on this first before i make any major moves bc i know im tired but i am having thOUGHTs

genuinely killing undyne in a neutral run and then walking through hotland later and seeing alphys' posts go "just realized i didn't watch undyne fight the human... well i know she's unbeatable i'll ask her about it later v . v" completely unaware of what's happened is one of the most unpleasant and harrowing experiences in undertale and i am not kidding even a little bit
#undertale#she doesn't fucking know.#that's part of why undyne's no mercy death is in a way less heartbreaking than her neutral death#partly because in neutral she didn't expect this. she had no clue you would be powerful enough- experienced enough- to defeat her#and she dies terrified of what you'll do to her loved ones#while in no mercy she gave it all she had and she dies knowing alphys has a plan to evacuate everyone if she loses#AND alphys at least knows. like. watching your best friend and the one you love die horribly in real time#while you're powerless to help obviously isn't fun.#but is it worse than having no idea she died until after you've unknowingly befriended her murderer#and helped them in every part of their quest?#is it worse than only finding out what's happened after they've gone and you're truly stuck there with her gone and them untouchable?#despite everything. undertale still makes me insane.

my birthday is also my genshin anniversary, so i doodled myself with some favs 💕 happy four years, my beloveds
also looking at the cake lineup in my inventory makes me so happy ehehehe (also the xiao lanterns)
#2024#self insert#self ship#genshin impact#sucrose and ajax baked the cake together and sucrose was not informed that the candles would be yoimiya's sparklers lol#kaeya alberich#xinyan#naganohara yoimiya#sucrose#venti#dvalin#childe#tartaglia#childe tartagalia#they need to tell us ajax's surname so we could just use his name instead of titles like that's ridiculous#ignore the anatomy this was a quick scribble for the seratonin boost#it didnt have to be good. it just had to make me feel happy looking at it! and it did! :D#i wish i could've fit more characters :( i'm still stuck with tiny pieces of scrap paper and it sucks#i neglected to add a sumeru character because so many of them are in a do-not-separate situation with AT LEAST one other character#like i would've liked to add faruzan but then it's like oh then i should add layla and kaveh! followed by oh i need to add al haitham then!#which would be followed by added cyno and nilou. which would be followed by adding dunyarzad dehya candace tighnari and collei#which of course means i would next go all the way and add nahida kuni and sethos#do you see what i mean? sumeru's cast is too intertwined! if you want one you need them all!#absolutely no room for that lol#man... i need to rebuild sucrose i miss playing as her she's so fun#anyway anyway i hope you're all having a lovely day/night

The whole "humans are inherently awful and bad!" spiel is so tiring to me as a survivor of abuse because it comes off as abuse apologia. If humans are inherently awful, then why should it matter if you're abused - that's what humans do best! Like, genuinely, I think this mindset can harm abuse victims/survivors because they're being inundated with this idea that, well, how bad can their abuser be? All humans are horrific, why complain, why escape, and why try to resist it?
I really wish people would critically analyze where these ideas come from and where these lines of thinking can lead. Maybe it's a matter that I'm looking too deep into, but this very bleak ideology is not going to help in the long run, I think, and some of the first people who are going to be crushed by it are the people who are vulnerable or who are put in vulnerable positions in society.
#politics#abuse tw#abuse mention tw#i think a lot of these beliefs can influence your politics and how you view other people#honestly if i kept the mindset that humans are inherently abusive i would have just stayed with people who abused me. lol.#i think a lot of people who posit these things are genuinely in pain and i really really feel for them...#...a lot of these people may be in the earliest stages of healing where the world DOES feel scary...#...but i don't want that to be normalized in the sense that it *can be* harmful to dwell in...#...when the world feels like a hammer you're going to think you're a nail. and that's such a scary thing to be stuck in#i think it's different when people use this stuff to imply that abuse isn't real/isn't a big deal because abuse is the Nature of Humanity#i'm just frustrated that this is seen as... expected? necessary? fine? it's hard to describe#i've probably talked about this before but i don't care because this is important to me still even if i did

Honestly, I'm really grateful that my brain isn't wired to jump from hyperfixation to hyperfixation. It has its own unique drawbacks, sure, but I've always found it really comforting that I know what to expect from myself.
#falling out of love with my own projects is something I find really oddly horrifying#but the only time I really ever stop loving something is if the thing itself gives me a reason not to like it#the only reason I ever really stopped doing VOH fanart is because the fandom for it dried up completely and my my job at the time demanded#all of my art attention#i've still drawn the characters a few times since then tho#I still love them with all of my heart lol#same with slayers and sailor moon#and ofc my love for dmc revs back up into action every time a new game comes out#(looking at the reboot) not you#been hyperfixated on resident evil since 1996 lol#killer instinct since 1994#god now that's a thing why have I never done modern killer instinct fanart? Sabrewulf's new design is a chef kiss#I've got my ancient KI fanart from the 90s have I ever posted it for you guys lmao it's amazing. all the love a 10 year old can pour#as we speak I have some of my voh doujin [hush you they're clean/story driven ones] on my desk bc I was reading through them again#anyway my point is... there's a few things I fell out of love with ofc#but those were all for actual 'story jumped the shark/tied to a bad experience' reasons#I'm thankful that my exact form of audhd doesn't come with jumping hyperfixations#ofc this means you're stuck with soli#stuck with it forever#(villainous thunderclash)#I love tumblr's post culture most of this post is in the goddamn tags

anyway if you want to support people when they're going through hard shit but struggle to know how to do that, i do recommend the book there is no good card for this, which provides some very general scripts (though the emphasis is kind of more on how to function without a script, because every situation is different) and testimonials from people talking about the things that were helpful and unhelpful for them when they were dealing with loss or divorce or miscarriage or serious illness. the advice basically boils down to "don't pretend you know exactly what they're going through" and "don't make assumptions about how they feel about their situation" and "saying something is better than saying nothing even if you don't know the exact perfect thing to say," but i still found it helpful to be reminded of those things and have them demonstrated in a number of contexts. it's simple stuff that is surprisingly hard to internalize and apply because i think the instinct often is to fix it, but there's nothing you can say or do to fix loss, so it's best not to think of it in those terms. instead of fixing it, you're supporting them while they feel what they need to feel. it's hard to do, and it's okay (and common) to not know how, but it is something it's possible to get better at. and it's worth it. it makes a huge difference to people to be supported, and in my experience they appreciate your efforts even if they're awkward, because so many people are scared off from even trying.
#grief#relationships#my posts#it's funny like whenever i feel particularly stuck and i open the book to look up a script it always ends up being like#'there's no script. just try to give them the space to tell you how they're feeling and then proceed depending on what they say'#which is like. i knew that. and you're right. and sometimes that just doesn't feel sufficient but it's still the best thing you can do

I think a key thing to remember when judging all those "Astarion/Minthara/Lae'zel disapproves" reactions to like... helping orphans is that in context they're often rather realistic and practical considering what's being asked of them. If anything it's the more good-aligned companions willingness to drop everything and risk their lives to help randos in need of help that is unreasonable to expect.
Remember, from their perspective things like save-scumming are not real. They cannot metagame and prepare for what specific enemy or attack they might face. In-universe, death has consequence and you can die. Plus we're on an unknown time limit here to potential squid-ifying, not to mention their own personal baggage.
It's like... they're playing blind and on Honour Mode, and the consequences of failure isn't just a story going the way you might not like or your fave character dying. It's actual life and death. There are real stakes here for them.
So while yes they can approve of just... petty asshole stuff or even genuinely evil stuff, it's not unreasonable for them to have a problem with risking their lives for random strangers. Because if they're in your party, that's what you're doing. Making the choice to put their lives on the line for strangers. If anything they're all oddly brave and ride-or-die for whatever bullshit decisions you make from the start--I mean it takes a lot of reckless altruism while also being an asshole to them specifically (it's not hard to balance their approval by being nice to them directly on a good playthrough) to get them to hate you, let alone ditch the group.
#bg3#I feel like as players we get blinded by all our player knowledge and how the stakes feel to US#that we forget to look at how they impact the characters in-universe#like my previous post on how the Emperor has very sympathetic and understandable reasons for manipulating you#and is even quite restrained and fair considering what the stakes are for it#like with how the math actually plays out. Astarion will grumblingly put his life on the line for whatever side quests you want to go on#and will still come to like and trust you so long as personally you're supportive of him and his bodily autonomy#and even the more power-hungry evil stuff... Minthara and Astarion usually approve of such for very practical (if ruthless)#reasons because for them power = safety#Minthara is actually very chill and trusting of your judgment considering how she lived prior to joining us on our quest#to help every kitten stuck in a tree#and Lae'zel is actually very compassionate. it just presents very aggressively and selectively#and like obviously as adventurers now risking their lives is kinda par for the course#but I still can't judge them entirely for disliking being volunteered out for charity work with no guaranteed reward#and a very real chance of death

palisade has been sooo good for me because pre-palisade it truly felt like i was the only jesset guy in the world and now i see people talking about him and i'm <3 <3 <3
#i love this man!!!!!!#when you're a 23 year old 'very young' austin walker revolutionary but then you break the curse and LIVE and continue the work#and you don't even get disillusioned you're just out here. former leader of the WHOLE revolution who served his term and now keeps working#and you work hard to be cheerful and you like your emojis and your friends and your boys#i just love him!!!!!!!!!!!! he still thinks of himself as party of the wolf T_T the only person in that damn election he could respect won#and he stuck with them#im gonna throw up thinking about how much i love jesset city#palisade#f@tt#friends at the table

I think Bram and Lovecraft should find a (probably haunted) ship that just drifts out in an anomalous and liminal, to put it frankly, odd, bit of sea, forever a drift, surrounded by nothing but fog, no wind, no rain, no waves, no storms, just quiet. I think they should hole up there and sleep for a couple hundred years. yeah. I think that would be nice.
#bramcraft#I need them to be the new Bermuda Triangle#like#sailors are scared shitless when the waves disappear all of the sudden and a still fog rolls in and there's no wind#sightings of mysterious beings and retellings Eldritch cries and songs are all that return to land#no one ever sees the ship and survives#there's no wind. you're stuck in irons. once your stuck you don't get out.#I think that'd be cool for them#meanwhile they're just napping and Lovecraft is doing the bear minimum to keep them undisturbed and his husband fed#they're surrounded by gold and antiques and valuables but they just don't care#bram stoker#bram bsd#bsd bram#hp lovecraft#bsd lovecraft#lovecraft bsd#bsd#bungo stray dogs#they'd kiss messy and with tongue#those cries and songs is just them having old gay sex#they're living their best lives

I feel like the only way I can describe the tragedy of Hornblower chronology is that there is a horizontal asymptote at "Consistent Essence of Hornblower" and a vertical asymptote at the space between Atropos and Beat to Quarters/Happy Return, and his character arc is the line -(1/x)
#still trying to figure out how to explain it and this is the best i've got#it's like. he's moving towards a point he's developing as a character#and then suddenly boom! he falls into the hole of Original Trilogy#and you're seeing the whole graph too. you can see it all you know how weird and incongruous it all is#this is a very half-baked idea but idk asymptotes are fun#hated them and always found them deeply unsatisfying but then again perhaps i felt the same way about tragedy in high school so#perce rambles#hornblower#wrote this post several months ago and i'm not sure if i fully agree with this assessment but there is *something* going on#it's about the fact that the original books which were written later offer so much more for his character#but he's stuck in the later ones and he can never escape idk

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang yanli#jiang cheng#They don't have an actual sleepover in this scene but the vibes were so sleepover coded...I had to get them cozied up.#Late night talks with friends and family are some of the best conversations.#My siblings and I used to have room sleepovers with each other (Actually an excuse to stay up and talk about runescape)#Currently my flatmates and I also have really great heart to hearts late into the night.#Pondering shit like 'What defines confidence?“ and ”Why are people terrified of letting themselves fall in love?"#All that aside; There is a really great conversation between JC and WWX here. They are so close and yet so far way from each other!#Fundamentally they *agree* about many things - but JC now has to play the role of someone more 'mature'.#His temper is reigned in and he had to take a more nuanced approach. Whereas WWX can be far more reactionary.#JC has changed to become someone more mature (or at least he is trying).#Contrast this attitude with the scene *right* after where WWX literally goes baby mode with JYL. Rolling around going “I'm Fwee years old”.#When children are hurt we comfort them with hugs and warm food and a laugh. It's not enough when you're an adult. It's not simple anymore.#WWX is stuck in the past when everyone else is shifting and moving on! It's a depression allegory (and just...actual depression)#But we also get to see how some things have stayed the same. They still bicker about soup. They still tease. They are still together.#They all care for each other very much but they are struggling against trauma and are not equipped to talk about it.#You can't really blame WWX for being so protective over JYL. But JC is right: “You don't have a say in who she likes.”#It may have started as an arranged marriage but *she* is *choosing* what her heart wants. JC sees that. WWX cannot.#The final act of love is letting go after all.

Some days (nights) just feel like loss
#not sure what else to say abt that bc thats it thats all of it#like a firework show reminder of everyone thats just dropped out oftour life#and like you're the only one watching the show the only one thinking abt them bc theres no way the grief you feel for them is reciprocated#or not to the same degree bc well surely the silence isnt killing them#and its like for some im still ::here:: i can still be found but theres no hand reaching out to reconnect & maybe one side always held more#more emotions more loss more love? it doesnt matter#im tired of watching the show and im tired of feeling the loss#and im tired of carrying the grief thats only mine bc how do you care less how can you not saying i miss all the moments and laughter & lov#so thankful for all the nows with all of you even if i get stuck the in haze of my connections of before#i dont know how to not care not miss or not think abt all these people that have moved on to other things and other lives and just not miss#things the same way as i do#so i just get sucked into the feelings from time to time but ill come out the other side and pack up the loss and the grief#until the next time when i pull it out and unfold it and crush into sand again#just to come out again and again and again

having swap au thoughts. *slaps roof of claus* there's so much mental illness in this guy. im gonna blow up everyone in the room and then myself
#what if you felt unbearable guilt because your brother went missing in the two seconds you were separated#and you feel like there mustve been Something you couldve done to prevent it#if only you had stuck together. if only you hadnt let him tag along on your basically-a-suicide-mission in the first place#but none of those things happened so you go through three years blaming yourself#continuing to search for him because maybe hes still out there. and maybe exhausting yourself on an aimless search is a way you can atone#and then you're pulled into this big destiny adventure so your searching is put on the back burner#you're so busy doing important things and meeting new friends and there are points in your adventure where your heart feels lighter#and maybe you open up just a little about the crushing guilt you feel. and your new friends say it wasnt your fault#maybe you start accepting that your brother is really gone but you have to keep living your life#saving your brother was a far out dream but saving the world is something you have the power to do#so you try your best. so you dont fuck up this time#your guilt becomes the fuel keeping you going#and then at the end of your journey#you find out one of the biggest obstacles on your journey#the human chimera that you felt kinda horrified at and a little bad for even as you fought them#is your brother you've been mourning and agonizing over not being able to save#so um. The Guilt is even worse now#now he doesnt just feel responsible for his death. he Now feels responsible for him becoming this Creature Thing under porkys control#and in a lucas dies scenario. hoogh i cant imagine how claus would feel after that.......#however the thing that spurred this post was thinking about the lucas lives postgame scenario (it just got a bit out of hand lol) so.#your brother is alive and back home again and youre so unbelievably glad#but the guilt still creeps up every time you see how much hes Changed. physically and mentally#you had just started to accept the fact youd have to live without your brother but somehow having him back is almost just as painful#things cant just go back to how they were before. youll never be the exact same happy family as you used to be#its strange adjusting to having lucas back and its strange trying not to step on each others toes with their trauma#you cant help but be clingy because you couldnt bear it if he disappeared again under your watch#but nobody wants to be watched all the time especially when youre recovering from your brainwashed identity as an army commander#FUCK I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT I WANTED TO RAMBLE MORE AUGH. THEY MAKE ME SO ILL. i swear its not all angst theres some lightheartedness in it#mother 3 swap au#mothfics
