The Petrification Disease is a nasty thing...

no because m still confused at everyone saying this is a bad/boring event. Every Single Server Wide Event these past 6 months have been very lore and riddle focused, with a minor focus on pve during those lore events. it felt unbalanced. the admins have stated before that they want to do events for all playstyles. this is our First Time getting a proper server wide event for a different play style.

the pvp guys need their enrichment too. there is still lore and riddles in this event but thats the minor focus! and thats okay! sometimes other playstyles need to be accommodated and have a place where everyone knows its gonna happen! main island has a gentlemans agreement to not go stupid go crazy between the islanders and that makes it boring for the pvpers. sure they Can set up their own little scuffles with rules but theres something fun about The Hunt that you cant do on main island.

the pvp guys dont get to show off a lot in events. a lot of them dont participate in the lore events point blank OR they get assigned to pve clean up duty while the loreheads get to learn secrets. if you arent able to find entertainment in this event its okay to stop watching for two weeks! ur fellow fans will keep you updated on here/twitter/discord.

Oh, right, the other ArtFight I did this year! The character's Lempo by @polarwooly

I mean, come on, a fluffy ceratopsid with a wonky frill? That's, like, custom made to cater to my specific interests. Love the horns, and the extra mane along the back, just great design!

I originally did a sketch of just the head, but decided halfway through that I wanted to do a full body to flex a little, though now that the deadline's over I felt like cleaning up the head shot too, so have a little extra.

So I was doing my 4? 5?? watch of Lockwood and Co the other night with a friend and I noticed something that I'd missed before. When Lucy holds Skull up to the mirror, before she passes out, she gets a brief flash of some visions. From what'd I seen in other rewatches, it looked to be a recollection of ghostlocked/dead people from the series (Norrie, Fairfax etc) but one image jumped out. I opened Netflix on my computer so I could slow it down and

Bam, it's Lockwood. Now this image certainly wasn't in the 8 episode series and it got me thinking. The previous images were of those Lucy had seen killed/ghost locked ending with a frost covered Lockwood?

It was set up for the conflict in the Hollow Boy, about Lucy worrying that Lockwood is going to die for her. Lucy got a brief future vision of the Fetch impersonating a dead Lockwood which would lead to the events of The Creeping Shadow. Basically I'm even more mad that we don't get to see Cameron all done up in frosty ghost make-up.

I noticed you've been making more art of Machete and Vasco after they met again as adults - is this canon? Do they get to rekindle their friendship after all, or is it still brief and bittersweet? (I love your characters and art, btw!)

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

It's canon, I believe. After their confusing and apprehensive friends-to-lovers involvement ended in their early 20's, their paths end up crossing again unexpectedly in their mid 30's and things gradually grow from there.

Baghera said she just wants a home... ohhh holding both teams so gently. holding them up against each other. blue didnt have the people until recently, but theyve always had a home. bolas have always had people, but they keep being run away from their homes...

Infuriating that American politicians are off for their long holiday weekend still refusing to fund the most basic, insufficient, miserly, ALREADY APPROVED safeguards for the poorest and most vulnerable living here...

over a fight to provide EVEN LESS in order to give extra money to oppressive corporations and maintain the richest military in history doing evil on an incomprehensible scale

I'll never be able to take the theory that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father seriously cuz I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to the plot that Vincent wanted to fuck Lucrecia and did not get to.

lads i think i've done it again (bricked phone without backing it up)

currently thinking about how fun and common it is to write Things You Are Into/Knowledgeable About into fics (or draw into art/comics, etc) but how quickly wild it can get depending on the level of niche interest

eg, i remember to this day a fic that was quite solid across the board, an entertaining though not mind-blowing ride— but it had the most in-depth and fascinating descriptions of *specific* leather tooling techniques. Leather work was not at all the focus of the plot. Just deeply worked in via a hobby or side necessity of the adventure that had the most loving descriptions ever and it was really clear what hobby the author had- and I loved it haha.

my current personal example is Oops, I Am an Aerialist Now and That Is Deeply Obviously An Author Insert Interest in any given fic lmao. How many Fancy 2 Story Curtains with Strong Anchoring can I work into a fic…….. how many curiously 3ish foot steel hoops hanging from a strap is too many…… a suspicious number of secure but loose ended vertical ropes is normal right………………… Chekhov’s rigging……………..

This is a photo dump of Calem photos from the Leaders of a new era event in pokemon masters (Kalos Neo champion) that make me scream cry or kick my feet giggling

HE THINKS SHE DESERVES THE TITLE OF CHAMPION EVEN IF HE WON AND I JUST- UGH.

Not to be extreme but dear God hold onto hope.

Things will be better one day. People will sing and dance in colorful clothes under dazzling lights again. A parent will rock their child to sleep on a quiet night again. A grandparent will teach their grandchild to cook a family recipe again. People will laugh and cry and love and grieve in the most mundane of ways once more. This will happen no matter what you believe, but hoping and believing in such things will ease your heart and kindle your resolve to see it within your lifetime. Have hope, and you will give life to the world you hope to see.

Is it just me or does almost every outfit in the sims 4 cottage living just seems like something Toriel would wear?

yeah that's just objectively correct tbh

pretty goat mum 💜✨

sometimes i wonder why i feel so strongly that i need to make a dark comedy based on my high school experience someday and then i remember details like the first day back after a really tragic event that impacted our whole school's community one of my teachers was like "alright today as an emotional outlet we're going to go outside and i'm going to have everyone take turns smashing your own terracotta flower pot with a hammer, then we'll all come back inside and glue the pots back together for some artistic catharsis"

and it was a really moving display going outside and seeing all these students who had been personally impacted put all their grief and sadness and anger into destroying these pots for art, and i took some really great photos of the experience...

and then we literally never glued the pots back together.

they were just SITTING THERE in a CLEAR PLASTIC TRASH BAG at the front of the classroom for the whole rest of the year. "why didn't you just throw them out?" because that felt insensitive! this was catharsis through ART! but then why aren't we putting the broken pieces together again, and more importantly, why the fuck would you mix all the pots together if you thought you could put them back together

something about that feels like a metaphor for how the last two and a half years of high school went for me

Hey guys, i found out too late but webtoon is doing an event for their 9th anniversary where u can unlock 9 episodes for daily pass series instead of 1 (resets at 7pm, so if u unlock 9 right now u can unlock 9 more at 7pm today)... but it's ONLY for the month of july (i found so late im sorry😭😭) so there's like 3 days left...

but I rly recommend checking these series out and unlocking as many daily pass eps as u can before july ends!!!

The Makeup Remover: This is like (one of) my fav webtoons EVER... u have to read it its got everything... Funny, cute art style, insightful + refreshing writing + social commentary that hits hard... A riveting story that reminds me of sports anime tournaments... AMAZING pacing and paneling/visual storytelling... extremely compelling well rounded characters, especially FEMALE CHARACTERS!!!, who have such incredible character dev, I cried so much bc I love them so much and it just hits so hard.... even the romance is well written even tho it's not the focus (unlike what the webtoon categorization says)... JUST READ IT PLS ITS MY FAV... It stuck w me long after I first finished it... and I'm on my 3rd read now and it hits just as hard as ever, I love it so much TT

When the Day Comes

Rly good slice of life... Even if u don't normally like slice of life genre, I think this is rly worth a read for everyone. I love the author's subtle, realistic writing style and pacing, they make even the smallest moments have impact and u can tangibly feel how each chara is feeling... It's a real treat to read and even if nothing else, the art and art style is GORGEOUS!!! Soso good and insp. But the writing is also really good, so it's a real gem... Also there's a canon lesbian chara who's rly well written and I love her deeply...
