Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022), dir. Joel Crawford
#puss in boots#the big bad wolf#puss in boots: the last wish#PLEASE GO SEE THIS IT'S SOOOO GOOD THE ANIMATION AND SOUND DESIGN ARE WELL WORTH THE CINEMA TICKET COST#dreamworks#dreamworks animation#my gifs#puss in boots spoilers#the last wish spoilers#puss in boots the last wish spoilers#puss in boots: the last wish spoilers#this moment was GORGEOUS and TERRIFYING.#played around with sharpening the gifs. for the first time. which (as it turns out) helps a LOT with the dithering#my gif process keeps getting slower and slower. whatever#i hope the alt text for this one is OK because i felt it was too simple just to describe the action and not the animation#(i also think a dark blue caption would've been nicer but then i have to put in the alt text again bc tumblr gets Weird about html mode)

We were lovers, we were doomed from the start

Maybe it was a dream, and I just woke up

You ever see something that is meant to be like...an overgeneralized statement for the sake of entertainment or comedy and not at all serious but it's about YOUR special interest and you are just sitting there trying not to explode with an entire explanation of why it's such an overgeneralized statement and the depth of the topic
#spitblaze says things#like. im not about to shame anyone about this. i WANT more people to be interested in video games as a storytelling medium#and calling someone a fucking casual about it Does Not Help#but it IS still a big big overgeneralization to say that all games in the 80s were simple arcade style deals#adventure games came into being in the 80s! maniac mansion and kings quest and snatcher! all 80s titles!#if we wanna go back even further the first Ultima game was 1979! as soon as we had the technology to make more narrative and complex games#we DID#obviously we see more of that now because its the easiest its ever been to make video games and put infinite thought and resources into#worldbuilding and narrative#and YEAH most 70s and 80s games were simple bc uh. our computers werent that good yet lol#but like. oh my god dragon quest and final fantasy 1 came out a year apart in thr 80#do not tell me it was all run jump get the coin lol

Fake Dating for an event but make it Makoann
MAYBE its preparation for Shidos palace? Getting intel on some people on his hitlist before infiltrating for real?
Originally Akira was willing to take Makotos place, but there were concerns that someone would recognize him through the makeup. “Shido KNOWS your face; we cant risk that.”
Futaba doesnt go for very obv reasons (agoraphobic), but also, she needs to have a live feed of everything being said incase they need to leave the event early. And Haru cant go bc shes the daughter of Okumura; she would be recognized immediately. Makoto is simply the best choice given the (unfortunate) circumstances.
Normally, they would joke about Ann’s acting; but shes a model and she knows how to act appropriately in these kinds of situations. Its not an act, its her Job, and its kind of wild for Makoto to see her effortlessly mingle w so many important and intimidating people without a care in the world. Makoto finds herself less stressed about the event because of it, and perhaps even a little emboldened 😳
Bonus Doodle under the cut (drawn before the images up top)
#persona 5#makoann#ann takamaki#makoto niijima#arts#funny bc it started w me trying to make some very nice and simple outfits for ann#and the dress n clutch looked really nice. like nice enough to be a unassuming outfit to wear at a fancy event#and like. i DONT have a legit place i could see this happening ingame; shido was kind of last minute#but then. i dunno. i feel like futabas hacking skills were pretty underutilized in the game#shes sneaky but thats about It#i need her making up fake credentials and IDs for her team#and making vip invitations for them to get wherever they need to go#yeah they have haru bc shes rich but WHY make her go through all that?#if anything i feel like she would be helpful to give futaba some people to search#and businesses owned by those people#anyway. rambling#i had a version of that second image w makoto resting her hand on anns butt bc shes so short and ann is Big#and ann teasing her for it#but decided against it bc i think makoto would be so paranoid about accidentally grabbing her ass LMAO#also. i guess TECHNICALLY they would be drinking. but they are also pretending to be in their 20s#as like. up n coming investors or whatever. so ann is like ‘makoto this is one time where i need u to not be a narc.’#imagining makoto carrying a full cup w her the entire event bc she almost audibly gagged when she sipped the alcohol#ann just takes from her cup from time to time bc shes just like that (shares food n drinks w ryuji and akira all the time)#but makoto is like. good lird. indirect kiss.#its made more apparent when anns lipstick stains the glass a bit#makoto: what the hell did i get myself into. jesus.

I am now 29 which is fitting since like Jere I am also turning into a very obvious Bojan boy x'D
This is my little birthday present to myself featuring memories around Bojan from the Malmö gig on March 15 2024 :D
All sketches (and more) will be posted in it's own post as well ^V^
#I really wanted to do the big drawing justice yet I am a bit torn whether or not I like it#something about bojan's eyes just felt off 90% of the time I worked on this :'3#I ended up scratching all the rendering I'd done in my detailed style to do a simple rendering on under an hour#it helped a bit :'D#so in the end I think I prefer some of the doodles more but hush x'D#bojan cvjetićanin#me#joker out#jo see you soon tour#joker out spring tour 2024#my gig#malmö gig#mine#my own art

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.
#simon says#to explain here and not in a reblog:#sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb#you might not have done enough research#you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument#you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this#sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution#you do what you can to fight against the problem#you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem#and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem#like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue#but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face#they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you#and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing#sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“#sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that#i used this while talking with my Dad tonight#he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution#and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now#and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it#and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate#and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before#i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help#and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change#but all I really could do is the little things I have control over#and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over#like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet#which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue#and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best#so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

I’m curious!!! Have you played hsr at all?
for a couple months actually!!! i thought it was pretty okay as far as my extremely low standards go, but for some reason, i just,,, didn't have a good time with it. a lot of the appeal of genshin for me is, like, the player's total and untampered ability to fuck around at any and all times, and until honkai gives me the ability to scramble up walls and snipe monsters i know i'm not at a high enough level for from 5000 feet away, i will not be satisfied.
#it's so hard to bc i SHOULD adore any game that has that many big women in it#and i do think they npc dialogue is very fun and it definitely looks okay i guess#but ultimately it just doesn't hit like genshin does#i do not feel like a simple adventurer on a quest helping out eccentric townspeople and magical creatures as i go#i feel like someone who can't find the fucking elevator and Cannot go through another 45 minute seven round battle again#and that's just uh#not as enjoyable#personal#anon ask

been real cloudy here, without any rain
#halfway thru this i realized i was drawing myself and not gumi and i had to take a moment and re-gumi-fy the drawing#cant help being a gumi kinnie i guess U_U#dnoodles#vocaloid#i guess? idk i dont think a lot of people will reblog this. i actually kinda hope not.#hello dear followers#yea wow i have um. not been drawing at all lately.#not even simple doodles. i couldnt even pick up a pen.#so i sat down. turned on my favorite music. and drew what i wanted.#not what i wanted to see as the result#but what i wanted to let out of my system.#i dont really care if this looks good or bad. i dont care how messy the lines are. i dont care about the colors or the background#i just wanted to have a good time drawing again. and have a good time i did :)#i have a big drawing ahead of me i need to do. that i Want to do.#im scared of it not turning out good. especially since its for a friend. especially since im being paid for it.#but. im gonna let myself enjoy it. sink into the feeling and let the pen move on its own. indulge in the joy of creation.#i missed art. i missed posting.#sometimes i think about how i was able to crank out so many drawings in high school.#not without extreme determent to my grades of course. but still. i was drawing So Much. and i utterly loved it.#i still wish i could go back to that. perhaps i will. perhaps i wont.#but i want to let that wish go away. and. i guess. start a new chapter.#reinvent my relationship with art.#its going to be bad. its going to be messy. its going to hurt your eyes. and its going to be fun.#WOW okay that was an essay. thank you for reading.#im gonna go eat something and. actually get back to drawing. hehe

Heya, I've been following for a bit and I really love your art. It inspires me too do art as well. Like wh art! Also cause I've always loved dragons. But anyway, I'd like to ask if you have any art tips? Like how you do fur, body shapes (human or etc), showing movement in drawing, etc, etc. Thanks for being awesome and have a lovely day!
hmmmm my best advice is to keep your pencil/penstrokes Gentle and Sweepy! when you press hard and make tiny lines instead of longer, lighter ones, your art will be more rigid. ya gotta loosen up a little!
also - and i will Always say this again and again - build up your visual inventory. study photos, real life, videos. especially videos. it helps you really See how animals (including humans) are put together, how they move, the squish n stretch, etc.
and! this may be a Hot Take idk! but you dont need to learn anatomy, at least not in the "take a real life class and once you can draw an accurate to life person/animal, you can stylize" like hmmmm no. try to visualize things as Puzzles! at least that's what helps me the most! everything is just a bunch of different shapes pieced together into a whole. once you understand that, it gets easier to play around with fluidity and style
#it also helps speed up the art process imo#instead of drawing One Big Thing#you're drawing a bunch of Small Simple Things!#but yeah dont overthink it. dont deathgrip your utensil. swoop your lines. puzzle pieces.#rambles from the bog#OH ALSO LINE OF MOVEMENT KINDA FUCKIN WORKS WHO KNEW!!!#i usually draw the head and then the line of movement and Assemble my puzzle following that#i hope this helped at least a little! have a wonderful day/night as the case may be as well!#ALSO IT DOESNT NEED TO BE HYPER REALISTIC OR ANYTHING#unless thats what youre going for! But! go for as much stylization as you want#who fuckin cares! there are no true rules for art!#any and all 'rules' are more like guidelines

I just have a lot of feelings about Eliot Spencer managing to quietly give Parker and Sophie the perfect flowers for each of them in such a way that they would never suspect it was him. Just because he wanted to make them smile. And in the same episode he promises to cook for Hardison and knows enough about both wine and Hardison to immediately offer to help with his sommelier cover. And the whole episode starts with him just comfortably reading in the empty bar with Nate, quietly making sure the guy isn’t drinking by himself.
Eliot Spencer goes out of his way to take care of the people he loves and he LOVES his team and I’m simply never going to stop thinking about it.
#mine#leverage#he loves them your honor#I know this isn’t about the Witcher or TAD#which is ostensibly what this blog is about#but I think I’ve decided that any new original content tm is going to go here from now on#anyway don’t mind me I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Eliot Spencer for weeks#I’m a simple woman. Show me a Big Tough Guy that Fights For a Living#but who is also extreme god with children/animals and has secret passions#And who LOVES his people fiercely but would never admit even under extreme torture#and I simply cannot help but want to wrap him in a blanket and give him hot cocoa#or maybe put him in a jar just to observe for a while#I’d put some sticks and twigs in there for enrichment!#i could absolutely watch Eliot Spencer be grumpily soft for Parker and Hardison for 2500 consecutive hours#Eliot Spencer my beloved

autistic coded men who have orange cats my beloved
#star trek tng#star trek#star trek data#garfield#garfield jon#jon arbuckle#jetpack joyride#professor brains#jetpack joyride 2#this is my type. weird silly or otherwise quirky guys who have orange cats#brains being autistic is more just a headcanon i have rather than deliberate coding#but he's been shown to have a few autism-like behaviours and traits across the shorts and jetpack joyride 2#it's kinda stereotypical but he's more of a logical simple thinker and he finds strings of numbers to be easier to remember than names#which i find to be interesting! he just has different thinking patterns from what i've seen in neurotypicals. and it's like.#it's the autism radar. i can always tell when a fictional character seems to be Not Neurotypical because holy shit they act like me-#-or another autistic person i know!#also all these characters are like. different facets of autism and i think that's so interesting#on the left we have highly logical direct and ''idk what to do with my face or my hands help'' sherlock spin autism#and then there's slightly unhinged dorky possible ADHD combo and complete lack of social skills autism#and finally there's the evil autism#and i love all three of them <3#i just realised they're also all sitting in big comfy chairs!#jon's armchair looks so comfy though. like i really wanna sit in there#it's probably slightly dirty and most definitely scratched up by garfield but my god that's what make it more homely and comfy#i wonder how many armchairs jon has gotten over the years. i should count all the instances of him having a differently coloured armchair#anyway yeah. autistic cat dads my beloved <3

started wondering why lg imprinted on og!cxs enough to go back and save him. came to the conclusion that cxs's impulsiveness in helping people would be a pretty good candidate given it's one of his key chara traits. and idk how likely it is at this stage so don't want to delve too deeply into it but the implications compel me so much.
lg imprinting on cxs directly mirroring ltc imprinting on lx. someone being cool because of how they just go for it as something to be admired. the way that lg's rules are basically aimed at stamping out cxs's intentions to interfere massively to help others. at what point do you change the person you're trying to save so much that they become unrecognisable. at what point do you change yourself in service of an aim until you're the antithesis of what you once admired.
#I'm playing around in a sandbox here and I recognise that cxs still helps but in small ways rather than large interferences#but the idea that those big actions are what drew lg to cxs in the first place + to save him he tries to stamp out those aspects#also tbh I do still think cxs is still pretty similar to og cxs but I think lg himself is implied to have changed a lot#all the comments about him being mature for his age etc. his past self must seem so young now.#my other idea about lg imprinting is the whole 'simple kindness' deal. where cxs reached out to a loner lg and he's thankful#could be both or either or sth different but I do think it links to cxs's key chara traits bc what else makes sense#link click#link click spoilers#also: ltc choosing to leave the past behind at the end of s2 as lg commits to his path of preserving cxs's life#shiguang daili ren spoilers

This is a very serious story about a man named Stanley (Patreon)
#Doodles#The Stanley Parable#TSP#Just kidding I tricked you it's more silly fluff! But it is still about Stanley haha#Starting off with just some general doodles because Fun To Draw <3#I was trying to draw Stanley pursing his lips from a side angle 'cause lip expressions are something I struggle with and yup! That tracks#He does look cute tho haha spacey boy thinking in emoticons#More Narra floof - trying to even out his hair but it's harder than I thought! Hm!#The ''long side'' (really just the side opposite of his part) has more volume so it's hard to get them to convincingly ''match'' lol#Doesn't help when he has it all mussed haha#Sleepy lads <3 Sleeping together but so grumpily barely touching! No snuggles! Protect the chest and don't get cozy!#Yeah that lasted all of like five minutes once they were both asleep lol Stanley must cuddle the warm spot on his mattress haha#I'm quite pleased with that one especially haha ♫ Sin looks so open and unbothered and relaxed and his hand ah <3#Narra's so put out (but he does secretly like to be snuggled. He's never admit it tho!)#You might notice I also tried a different eyelid fold style for funsies in the first Stanley-solo and them sleeping together#It was in fact funsies! Haha#I still like the simple dot-folds but every once in a while it's fun >:3c#Capping off with more size silliness hehe - if he can go very big why not very small! Put a Narrator in your pocket and walk around with him#He'll complain the whole time that your pocket is cramped and you did a bad job in picking fabric haha#Oh but he'd be especially cute in Stanley's breast pocket <3#Also he's not speaking in that one I just didn't know how else to express that thought about Narra being So y'know? Lol#Cute lads <3

Thinking about using the journal I got for writing my dad's eulogy for trying to process my grief with it. The letter from me I found in his lockbox is still in that front sleeve, along with one of the memorial folders they had at the funeral.
I think I don't want to write it all on here. I think I've talked about my emotions too much as of late.
#speculation nation#negative/#kind of. i guess.#the thing about grief is that it really just never ends.#so im done with the funeral. the time is over. here i am. hes dead. im alive. time to move on.#but it's not that simple. of course it's not.#but would my followers who followed me just for my writing even Care?#honestly surprised i havent lost more followers. or any? idk i havent been paying much attention to numbers#but i know it hasnt really gone down much if at all#i just feel. like im not the person that people initially followed.#and i dont know when im going to be that person again.#there's no enthusing here. anytime im making text posts it's about The Situation.#i wonder how evident my grief is to you all. i feel it in my every breath.#i havent been working yet i feel weak. it's hard to feel much at all.#either im existing and im helping with packing or im crying again bc i remembered my dad cant help me pick out a car now#(in the Vaguely In The Future me buying a used car idea. for after i get my license. whenever that is.)#or im crying bc of jackets or colognes or a letter in a lockbox or a stupid minions hat picture in a too-big frame#or laughing bc Dad In A Bag (his ashes are downstairs. im far too unbothered by their presence)#ive been having an... okay time. we watched Dune today and i started building a lego set. it was nice.#but im only ever Okay. emotions hard to access. interests certainly not accessible.#making it hard to be creative at all. im literally only going through the motions here.#theres no heart. i left it behind when i got that 2 am call and had to rush to the hospital to watch my dad die.#i left it behind when i touched his cold arm for the last time. when i walked out of that room & knew id never see him again.#i know a week is still far too soon to be over it. but im sick of feeling this way.#it still doesnt feel real. feels like im following the bad end route just to see. i should still be able to reload my past save.#but this is my life now. forever until the end. out of nowhere hes dead and hes never coming back#and it's just really fucking hard to care about just about Anything else right now.#i prommy im gonna use the journal next time i get the urge to vent about this. im sick of this crap too.

Behold! The homies! The squad tm!
After going on that Ted Talk about my fun with implementing more shape language to FEH character designs, I thought it'd be cool if I provided clearer examples of me doing so! And also reveal my bias towards drawing Anna because WOW girly stupid easy for me. No thoughts. Head empty. Got her perfect first try. Which is a godsent when I typically gotta redraw Alfonse's hair 30 times before I land on something I like and this time was NO EXCEPTION. She is simply a treat and gives me happy chemical. They all do. It's why I draw em.
On that note, this drawing ain't the gospel I live by. It ain't a character sheet by any means. This is mostly an experiment for fun! I'm constantly tweaking as I get more familiar with their shapes and commit more of their design to muscle memory.
#Fun facts; the earrings I give Kiran have backstory#Not like FEH backstory. Me drawing them backstory#So originally I wanted Kiran to constantly have their headphones but it was very taxing to draw over and over as it's NOT a simple headset#But I was having trouble keeping track of their cloak gravity and ear placement#Which was troubling cuz I use that to track facial perspective#Big blocky earrings helped with that :D#And now I like em! Gives the summoner some much needed pizzazz#My headcannon is that Kiran has magpie brain and likes putting shiny dangly things on their ears.#If you were ever in the market of getting them a birthday present#Or orbs! Feed their gambling!#fire emblem#feh#fire emblem heroes#feh summoner#feh kiran#kiran#feh alfonse#alfonse#feh anna#feh sharena
