come get ya juice

my attempt at making a fursona

Im just yapping but there is this fic on fimficton called Discord of Tomorrow that’s about s2 evil discord traveling forward in time right before he can be turned to stone to switch places with the version of himself (reformed discord) that exists when the elements of harmony are gone, so reformed discord gets stuck in the past and has had to snap away and hide the elements of harmony from the mane 6 so he can focus on trying to get back to the future without getting turned to stone, all while dealing with the moral dilemma of him realizing how easy it was to take the elements and how easy it would be to seriously just take Equestria over again vs being worried about what evil discord is currently doing to his friends in present time. It’s only like three chapters but I think the plot is so funny and the author didn’t even get to the part where evil discord is in the future and the mane 6 is trying to figure out wtf his problem is, thinking he has amnesia or something. I want to make a comic expanding on it so bad I’m like seriously obsessed with it I can’t stop thinking about it

Kissing Lucifer

{You're okay, you're alive, you-- You're so happy you could just-- Sif--!}

{Sif pushes you away}

Funny how the entire world's like: No one knows what goes on in that beautiful head of his.

And Kayden be manipulating this idiot left and right with the power of reverse psychology and sad Jiwoo lmao!!

On another note, new character! Is this gonna be another Vator, begging Kartein to heal him or smth? Anyway, I'm excited for the Kartein focus!! Just admit you love Jiwoo you damn tsundere!!!

woke up at 7am on a saturday to try out life drawing…it was fun once i finally got the hang of it :’>

I've been thinking about how Vash always seems to be hungry. Or at least, that he's shown eating quite often in the manga. Happily having his salmon sandwiches. Eating an entire box of donuts in the side car. Knowing the conversion rate of bullets to pizza. Seeing a flower and immediately wondering if it's edible. Pondering his life over breakfast. It's a really cute little character detail about him - he likes food.

But then I kind of started to think about the angel arm and its specific brand of destruction. How there were no bodies to be recovered. Nothing but a crater left of July, left on the Fifth Moon. It's all been incinerated. Devoured, even. Tristamp takes it even a step further and makes the power something akin to a black hole - a yawning drain; a constant destructive hunger.

Vash is clearly terrified of this potential for destruction, and for very good reason. But it's not separate from him as some kind of "power he can't control" - it's his arm. It's literally his arm. It is him. Vash is scared of himself, scared of losing control. He does what he can to repress it, even subconsciously (the gaps in his memory whenever it activates). He can't control it in the moment, so he takes steps to preemptively push it down, to avoid the use of his abilities entirely, to hide himself away.

I talked a bit in a previous post about how there are probably several interrelated reasons for Vash's chronically avoidant behaviour, but I'd like to throw one more into the ring and suggest that it's not just a matter of not deserving to want things, but maybe also that he's afraid of wanting. That if he allows himself to even think about what he wants personally that he'll want too much, take too much, and that the only cure in his mind for this is to give and give repeatedly.

I wonder how starved he is for love. Vash loves hard, after all. Once he loves (and I’m not talking about the broad, distant love/compassion he has in general), for better or worse, he carries them around with him forever, long after they've passed. Does he feel like it'd be selfish to admit this kind of want? His love isn't really a passive thing after all - it's the drive at his very core; a mournful inferno he is just barely suppressing. Does he remember how to love in a way that doesn't consume him entirely?

Is that part of the reason he checks out at signs of intimacy? Diverts gifts towards others? Tends to accept kind gestures only when under an assumed name? Intentionally starves himself in Tristamp? Runs and runs and runs? Is he afraid he won't be able to stop hungering? That allowing himself to want means his want will become insatiable?

I just have to wonder how much of his avoidance of connection is being scared that he will cause more destruction (to them? or to him?) by trying to take far too much into his hands than he ever caused by turning his back and running.

...of course I may just be entirely deranged here sorry.

Every time I accidentally make Arthur underweight it’s just like

god bless fast food workers who give poor people extra food.

i keep thinking ab ur tags on my post of iroh being a thief and stealing those perfumes but God. iroh being a guy that likes nice things and material pleasures and zukos love language is gift giving. he finds mai shells he thinks are cute... he steals beautiful tea sets and sweets for his uncle... AUGHH (GRIPS HEAD). Hes like a mangy grumpy little cat that drops weird shit at their owners feet to show love and devotion

YES AUGH

Zuko and Iroh on the run and Zuko knows how much his uncle misses all his nice things lost on the ship; that and Zuko is angry over their sudden displacement while on the run. Not only does taking these nice things give him a sense of power again, but it gives him an excuse to give something to his Uncle, who has stuck by his side this whole time.

And then Iroh questions where he got it from - he questions Zuko's love language. Like that was probably such an injury to Zuko, who just wanted a scrap of feeling some kind of control again ;; little skrunkly boy just trying to show/receive love while his whole life spirals.

HERE IT IS!! after Many moons of chipping away at this OC song comic for my scifi-noir android character Whitney and his bodyguard Bast, it is finally as complete as it shall ever be;; I’m proud of the work I put into this one! Pretty niche, but maybe some folks out there will enjoy UuU

ps: there's also a video for easy viewing!

@animate-mush I know it sorted started to drift towards shenanigans but I actually did have another angsty little thought about Quincey, specifically after he goes out into the world from your fic…

Rosebird Week Day 2: 🍳Small Comforts🌄

I was listening to the Mariner's Revenge Song and thinking about He Xuan, because of course I was, and damn for all my gripes about how tgcf's wind and water arc was handled, mxtx really did pop off making the character whose entire afterlife was devoted solely to brutal revenge literally starving through the whole story, being unable to sate himself no matter how much he eats foreshadowing how even finally carrying out his revenge would still leave him hollow and isolated

Sacrificial lamb and all that
