i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

controversial opinion maybe but it BEWILDERS me when people (mostly americans ime) genuinely seriously with their whole chest complain about how impossibly hard russian names are. like. do a single google search. i don't see how you can comprehend that charles = chuck and margaret = peggy but can't fathom that rodion = rodya. how is this such a huge barrier of entry for people

I want to be properly insane about my armored core 6 headcanons and explore more ideas and whatnot and yadda yadda but COLLEGE. IS KILLING MY FREE TIME.

Anyways, have my (human) design for Volta! (The concept art for it at least snif)

drift compatible bitches bc like knows like

I feel like the audience is also complicit in supporting the idea that Yuji's just a cog. We expect him to do what he was made to do without really paying much attention to him. It feels like he's fighting Sukuna on his own, even when he's physically not, because our focus is often on his companions whether they're on the field or long evacuated from it. And I feel like Yuji is changing right under our noses but we're too focused on someone else's tragedy instead of the one unfolding right in front of us. I'm guilty of being distracted by everyone else and when I look at Yuji again, he's a little less recognizable. I read 260 and couldn't remember what had happened to his eye. He's fighting a war at the cost of seld destruction and all I'm thinking about are casualties and potential outcomes.

The focus is so often turned away from Yuji that I can't help but wonder what will he become when no one's looking?

seeing a tiktok about how the person who made the video blocks every marauders cosplayer because they get second hand embarrassment from the cosplays : oh! myabe its just because the marauders tiktok community is really shit?

me opening the comments :

me : oh

Can you do furry versions of bfb characters

i'd be willing to try!!! even though i struggle with species choices especially for non-ii stuff...

if you want to request a furry version of a character and have a specific species (or category of species like bird or ungulate) or trait (like wings or long fur) in mind i'd appreciate if u share your ideas... otherwise my design might struggle a bit

here's a VERY ROUGH idea of golfball just for u anon :}

I LOVE HIM

So turns out I have The Bronchitis..... which is annoying to know I've had something treatable for an entire week. BUT! I'm on the road to recovery now!

Starting yesterday I played some Potion Permit (which I've had purchased for a... while..... and never really played it until yesterday). I named my chemist Adam and he's just a really good boy! I hc him as mute? So like as he diagnoses people and treats them he just kinda. gestures and emotes a lot?

I was talking to someone about it yesterday like "it's so funny how I look at this romance option and go AH YES Dr. Strange. HE HATES ME AND I WILL MAKE HIM THE MOST MISERABLE PERSON ALIVE via friendship." And then I was on the wiki page and saw how the PPermit refers to bachelors/bachelorettes? "Romance Target". It feels like an assassination mark. I'm ready to kill this man with my love and he will hate every second of it.

i found my sketchbook guys. returning to my roots

did both a year ago and left it to finish later,,,

i have a lot of opinions and feelings about life is strange, i love this game, this was like in the same week ive finished it or something im not sure anymore, its been a year after all

updating a VERY old steven universe au I made when i was like,,, 18?? it was when su was still relevant, oof- its basically just a roleswap but i went a bit further than simply swapping their color pallets (this au is so old i had to retrieve the old art from my first pc- see below for a bit of an art quality comparison!)

wait do you have a fav boys character yet ?

i really like butcher but i feel like that's a basic answer and also the wrong answer. in another world id like frenchie but i can't get over how much i hate the actor. I love maeve theres never a moment she's on screen where im thinking get this woman outta here she's always entertaining to me. i like starlight but (and this is probably a bit nasty to say) there's smth a little uncanny valley about her sometimes where when she's talking im not listening but staring at her face trying to see what features throwing me off. I hate ashley but the actress played an insufferable character in jessica jones too and I really appreciate her ability to play The Most annoying woman you know.

centrist answer i like them all (except stormfront. hated her before i even knew she was a nazi. she was on insta live and i was waiting for her to explode and die) but my fave would have to be butcher bc i find im rooting for him the most and constantly justifying his actions. but sometimes karl urbans accent pisses me off. also black noir but he doesn't Do anything so it's hard to have him as a fave bc he's barely there.

I just found an animatic from 5 years ago Someone save me please- ←Is cringing at their old art

im obsessed with my delta warrior (cats) shitpost au its so funny to me please ask me about it and also give me ideas and stuff

imagine if lou failed that charisma saving throw… in a different game, a helpless pinocchio could do nothing but watch the stepmother devour his father.

the fact that, until the reveal, he saw her as his mom?? his complicated, weird mom with a past (“all moms have pasts”)??? hurts. what gets me is that, between looking at the monster that ruined his happy ending and the entity holding his father hostage, he turned to the latter “in the childlike way that Pinocchio is young” because she was his maternal figure.

HE’S JUST A LITTLE BOY I CAN’T

i did have this thought during the episode though, what i'm worried is going to happen is now that pinocchio is presumably free from stepmother's control that she'll just devour or kill geppetto... since pinocchio is no longer useful to her, geppetto isn't useful to her either - since he's always been a tool to keep pinocchio compliant. and since someone brought it up to me, i think geppetto is still alive up to this point, considering it was his blood that boosted pinocchio's powers in episode 4, and she's had no reason to kill him... but now she may not have a reason to keep him alive.

and yeah every episode as we see more and more of pinocchio interacting with stepmother or talking about her my heart really breaks. imo i've been interpreting pinocchio as accepting of his situation because he knows he has to, bc stepmother is 'taking care' of geppetto. some people have said pinocchio is a bit naive or trusting towards stepmother, but i dont think so... i think he just knows his own position with her. you can really see it in e4 when they're talking post-death that... in my opinion, pinocchio is acutely aware of his position and how little power and agency he had at that point. and this episode, when he was talking to miss muffet - he described how it was all or nothing. all responsibility. that how he sees his own story is that he needed to (and was forced to) grow up and that he can't be a little kid and have fun. combined with the times of shadow and how it was so important that pinocchio needed to be able to lie, that he would break off his own nose... is just really awful and telling. and when stepmother gave him pinocchi-crow, partly as a familiar and partly so she could watch him, he admittedly hated it.

but also, he's never had a maternal figure before. he called her mom. he consistently downplayed and left out information about her to his friends (partly, i think, to protect them/to keep his business to himself with geppetto, and partly for her sake, too). i don't think pinocchio loves her, not the way he loves his father. but as he said, she's helped him and given him gifts. she has looked after him to an extent. obviously from the outside this is abuse and manipulation, and pinocchio is aware of some of that, but i think he does care for her in some way.

and ultimately he is a kid. he's just a boy. a boy on strings.
