Craziest thing my supervisor ever told me is that the kind of enthusiasm I have for mealworms is not as common as I think it is. I kinda just figured everyone at the Bug Farming DepartmentTM was here for the bugs, but apparently a lot of people are just here for the farming. Getting excited about bugs for bugs' sake is apparently a rare thing in the agricultural departement - most people are more interested in how to use bugs, or even Number Go Up, which I've never been that interested in. No wonder my supervisor keeps agreeing to my insane projects, pushing me to publish my half-finished theses, and talking over time in our meetings. It must be like a breath of fresh air for her.

finally got some time to finish these guys up! which is sort of ironic considering I started these because I wanted to draw Malleus with a Dragapult, and then I just didn't for a million years!

Malleus has the aforementioned Dragapult, except it's a super special non-canon color Dragapult (like an anime-only form that you could get in-game exclusively through some limited-time event where you have to show up in-person at a specific location in Japan) (it has some wacky overpowered exclusive move/form and the OT is listed as Malleus) (so like that kind of ridiculous specialness) (Leona is extremely salty about this). also hoards and hoards of Dreepy. Dreepy LOVE Malleus. they take naps on his horns inbetween begging him to throw them across the island at mach speeds.

Lilia has a Drampa and a bunch of Woobat that he hasn't actually caught, they just follow him around in swarms because they sense a kinship with him. (also breaking my own rule again to say that he had a Mawile in the past, because...I just really wanted to give him a Mawile...)

Sebek has Sandile for obvious reasons, and also a Pikachu that bullies him relentlessly. :(

Silver has a shiny Corvisquire; I really went back-and-forth on also giving him an Aegislash, but...hm. those pokedex entries though. he can stick with just one for now.

(I hadn't planned on the shiny for him, but after I'd decided on the Corvisquire line and was looking it up for reference, I realized that shiny Rookidee is gold and then turns silver when it evolves and I lost my entire goddamn mind)

I don't think this is s2 part B spoilers since he was introduced before the break, BUT YES GIVE MARK A LIL BRO FR. He's such a good big brother istg, he saw this baby and instantly bonded, like just let him have a normal happy life please!!! Let him be happy in general istg.

Dream blunt rotation

Huntlow is exactly exactly what B///kudeku shippers think their ship is.Willow is a ray of sunshine uwu nerd who developed into a popular jock too and was bullied for being disabled like Izuku is and Hunter is a familial abuse victim who's specific type of abuse was physical and was praised and uplifted so much growing up that he ended up as an egoistical asshole but thanks to making friends,he was humbled and learned to be kind and grew into a bit of a dork like Bakugou without any losing all of their old personalities.Their aesthetics are even pretty similar since Willow has black hair with green streaks and green eyes while Hunter is pale blonde with (formely) red ones and her design is meant to look soft while his is meant to look 'rough around the edges' to reflect their personalities,again,like Izuku and Bakugou

Only Hunter never bullied Willow for her disability like Bakugou did Izuku and he actually has a similar one himself and they bonded over it.And Willow was never terrified of Hunter for constantly tormenting her over half their lives or held him up on a pedestal to excuse his flaws.The worst Hunter has done to Willow is try to get her to join the Emperor's Coven but that was before he knew they were they were evil and thought he was helping her and they've never given eachother anything but respect,support,fun and love since the episode they met onward.Willow was a key part in Hunter's redemption while Bakugou's treatment of Izuku is the whole reason he needs one in the first place

I'm not saying don't compare Huntlow to B///kudeku-That's what i'm doing.I'm saying that there's definitely parallels between Huntlow and B///kudeku but not in the sense that they have the same dynamic.It's in the sense that Hunter and Willow are what Bakugou/Izuku shippers wish their ship was

anyway i found my old comments on the video! :))))))))

Honestly I know I haven't ever stopped talking abt this but it's so hard not to when it's so blatant but the sexism in the tfa fandom is So Obvious when talking abt Wasp and BA in particular bc of how similar they are in character, at least on some level.

Like whenever I say Wasp is a piece of shit whose never been shown to have anything but condensed malice and need to hurt ppl esp in bootcamp I always get replies saying 'oh well it probably came from his own insecurities' or 'it likely came from his own truama' but then I say 'Maybe BA lashes out at Optimus and Sentinel bc of the fact the show has shown us they had real responsibility in the accident' Or "Maybe BAs constant body issues manifesting in her doing things that actively hurt her a lot is concerning and shows deeper issues' and suddenly it's me giving a character more sympathy than their canon version deserves or that since it's never stated or shown those events can't possibly be linked.

So like. Making up shit that's never even hinted at in canon to make a male character more complex, sympathetic and seem nicer despite their bad actions is fine but you're not allowed to even point out a link that could exist between canon events that makes a female character read as more sympathetic. Like. What??

If Wasp was 'probably dealing with insecurities' never even hinted at in canon why can't I say BA is dealing with insecurities that Canon hints at and shows. Why does Wasp get to have his character explored and given this whole expansive idea of a backstory and Complexity in fanon but BA is always put down and under explored despite being a more complex interesting character From The Start. I don't think I have to make the link but God.

pros of trying a new restaurant: the lady working the front counter said i was really pretty :)

cons of trying a new restaurant: i got food poisoning from it

Sting - What Could Have Been

this song is very musical, very... depressing... very jaded macaque who cannot let go of the past and so he cannot move forward literally pick a lyric and it sings of macaque so desperate and distraught over the past, missing how life used to be before wukong abandoned him. and obviously the narrator goes on to hope that the subject will suffer just as they have, to feel the same pain.

I hope you know we had everything When you broke me and left these pieces I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and I want you to lose like I lose when I play

that's sad because it seems like... wukong would never feel the same kind of pain that macaque had, no matter what that was. their experiences and trauma are so vastly different that relating them would be difficult.

also love the idea of macaque just—here. that post i wrote.

I am your ghost, a fallen angel You ripped out all my parts I couldn't care what invention you made me 'Cause I, I was meant to be yours

yknow? are you picking up what i'm putting down? are you seeing the vision? are you feelin the vibez.

jumping back to the opening lines—

And worst of all, for me to live, I gotta kill the part of me that saw That I needed you more

—post-LBD macaque needs to figure out who he is to be honest, he needs to discover who he is without wukong, without defining himself by wukong's existence and whatever happened between them. with that, he could easily snuff out this terrible, detrimental obsession he has with wukong, learn how to be himself, and maybe then. maybe then they could carry on a relationship, romantic or platonic, in a much more healthy manner.

Why don't you love who I am? What we could have been

i like this ↑ because it makes me think of macaque at his lowest and most twisted, and how wukong rejects him entirely. macaque being confused by that, being hurt by that, why are you choosing them over me like i mean nothing? while not realizing that he's... become a monster that wukong could never possibly allow himself, duty-bound as he is, to abide by. it's sad. it's sad that macaque is so ignorant of what he's become and how appalling the crimes he's committed are.

I hope you know we had everything

he says, as he tries to eat tripitaka's face off.

I love how as soon as someone else is in charge of meals for a week you come back home and just. forget how to eat. or do anything.

welp, at this point if anyone in the crowd of Bad Faith People Who Stalk Me And Hate Me Bc Of Someone Else's Compulsive Lying tries to accuse me of antisemitism bc i have a vampire whos a villain in my comic, i'm gonna ask them what their take was on allll of this going on. if its anything like "israelis and/or zionists are all evil people" then ik i never have to take their opinion seriously bc they dont even know what antisemitism means.

In my time of having like 15 different therapists in my 21 years on this planet I'm surprised only 2 of them were kinda shitty. Though considering I only saw some of these therapists once is probably the reason I only had 2 off ones.

Also why do bad therapists always be the worst people ever? Do they put effort into being the worst??? Because it seems like they do.
