I was thinking hard about len voices.

Do you guys [gn] know that painting with the soldier holding a helmet?

I couldn't get this image out of my head, it would be a great template for star wars artists lol

If anyone's done this, I'm so sorry but also pls show it to me. If this wasn't done yet but someone who can actually draw is inspired to recreate it, pls do!!!!

Also there's something liberating about posting art when you know you can't draw to save your life, haters cannot hurt me

female skk is another obsession entirely

I keep flip flopping between telling myself that stylized art just isn't my type of art, I just can't do it well, better stick to what I'm good(?) at, then 5 seconds later seeing the most amazing stylized art and going I wish that was me I wish I could draw like that 😭😭 and it's not productive but it happens more often than I would like

lying here thinking about “My caring is beside the point. I have a duty.” instead of sleeping. as one does.

I try to keep the bitching to a minimum and also only to late at night but. I do not get people talking about Stampede Vash like he’s the most depressed Vash when manga Vash got told point blank by Legato, certifiably the most fucked up guy in the entirety of Trigun, that they were the same because, among other things, they both wanted to die so much

hi besties please send me all the good vibes you can rn

i'm extremely good at hiding when the conversation of my coworkers triggers me but i don't know if that's a good thing

Actually what would yous call this cause ive been referring to as my stairwell

spy x family has one of the best anime adaptions I've seen because it has literally everything. a killer op. sick animations. a soundtrack that FUCKS. incredible action sequences. a story that enriches content from the manga without making the characters seem ooc or changing the plot. and a baller ed

it kinda irks me that everyone is expected to love thranto but as soon as someone posts something about thrawn and ar’alani, thalias or karyn it’s all “awwww the sister energy :)))”

it’s just such an annoying double standard 😭

How long had Catriz been setting up the crypt for his murder ritual? Like, were the big stone slabs just there or did he have to sneak them in over a while?

Why do you ever thought, among the other ‘relationship’, that Hamille could be real?

Thank you! I wasn’t in the fandom during that time

I’m not sure it was real, to be fair. I was also taking a break from fandom during the time Harry was dating Camille, so I didn’t really experience much of it firsthand. But I think it’s interesting that Camille was written into the official narrative of Harry’s life (by Harry!) in a way his previous relationships were not. Her voice is included on “Cherry” and he referred to her as his girlfriend (after the fact). And in that way, it did stand out to me and come across as… emotionally authentic.

However, I don’t think we as fans could ever know what relationships are “real” versus “not real.” People make a lot of arbitrary distinctions like if a relationship of Harry’s is “too public” it’s bound to be fake (hence why his relationship with Camille was more believable to some people). And the list goes on. But we really have no way of knowing any of that. I think, in most cases, it would be impossible to distinguish between a real relationship and a fake one. Would a real relationship that’s being leveraged for PR look markedly different from a fake one, for example? Would a romantic relationship look worlds away from a bearding relationship where the parties are good friends and enjoy spending time together? And there’s a whole lot of grey area in between. So I’m probably not the best person to ask about the girlfriends because, while I have a position, I also think anything is possible and we as fans have no way of knowing.

Two Years With Japanese

I’m a bit late, I only just realized that my two year anniversary of studying Japanese passed about two weeks ago. For two years, I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. I’m approaching the level of what I’d call “conversational,” and I’m reading Japanese novels for enjoyment. I love this language and I love what it’s taught me.

Learning a language is a lifelong journey, and I really hope that Japanese can stay with me for many more years to come. Even as I study more languages on top of and alongside Japanese, it will always have a special place in my heart as the language that taught me how to learn languages. And so, here’s to many more years learning and using Japanese!

“No!”

Eeeey, look who sort of hopefully figured out a way to make gifs again!
