HOW DO YOU DRAW PERCY PLEASE I NEED IT FOR MY AUTISTIC JOY AND WHIMSY

I'm.. gonna have to get back on you with that at a later date with a more comprehensive guide on how to draw him/ breaking down drawing transformers in general bc I'm real lazy with how I normally draw them ksdkfs-

Quite literally my process is like those unhelpful art tutorial jokes where it goes: Step 1. sketch, Step 2. finish ;v;

Once I'm free tho I can break down how I understand shapes and how I geometrically piece them together while drawing :)

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only marauders fan that doesn't like Taylor Swift </3

tumblr mobile has the most innovative pausing music technology ive ever seen

i've been working on some new writing/character playlists for some of my projects and have been digging up a lot of old tracks from my childhood/teenage years/college radio years, which means a lot of them were imported from CDs and there are so many songs that I could replace with the apple music versions but I'm SO accustomed to the particular skips and scratches that the CDs have. physical media nostalgia my beloved 🥰

One of the best things about One Piece is that, no matter how much the pirates HATE each other, how many rivalries, blood feuds and whatnot, you can still expect everyone to show up for the final fight.

Why? Because the Celestial Dragons are universally hated and nobody would pass up on the opportunity of overthowing them.

Leave the rivalries for tomorrow, now there are a bunch of filthy and coinceited slavers to beat.

The parallels between the first time Armand kisses Daniel as a mortal and the first time it happens right after Daniel is turned are driving me insane!!!

As a mortal:

"He'd come silently out of the shadows into the moonlight, a young boy in dirty jeans and a worn denim jacket, and he had slipped his arm around Daniel and gently kissed Daniel's face. Such warm skin, full of the fresh blood of the kill. Daniel fancied he could smell it, the perfume of the living clinging to Armand still. (...) Daniel had been trembling, on the edge of tears. And why was that? So glad to see him, touch him, ah, damn him!"

As an immortal:

"He steadied himself, but the sight of Armand made him want to cry. Even in deep shadow, Armand's dark brown eyes were filled with a vibrant light. And the expression on his face, so loving. He reached out very carefully and touched Armand's eyelashes. He wanted to touch the fine lines in Armand's lips. Armand kissed him. He began to tremble. The way it felt, the cool silky mouth, like a kiss of the brain, the electric purity of a thought!"

Armand: *puts his mouth on Daniel's*

Daniel: *instantly starts shaking all over*

So much had changed, so many years had passed, but Daniel's reaction stayed the same. Armand's kisses made him lose his mind! He began trembling and wanted to cry, scream, touch, kiss, and never let go. My boy is absolutely head over heels 🥲 Imagine their first kiss post-reunion, Daniel was probably like one of those toys with shaking heads that start wobbling like crazy when you touch them 🥲

Anon, I want to thank you so much for this ask!! Because oh my gosh, yes, he's totally head over heals, totally desperate to be close to Armand and touch him, you're so right! Both kisses are so intense and powerful! Daniel trembling and shaking with desire and the sheer overwhelming emotion of it is just chef's kiss. You can absolutely feel the love he has for Armand in both scenes.

I think a lot about how in that first passage, Daniel was probably scared Armand had vanished and he'd never see him again. He's trying to write, trying to find some semblance of normalcy in the world when he knows the monsters it contains, trying to cope with the fact that vampires exist and he may never find them again. And then suddenly there Armand is, kissing his face, arm around him, burning from the blood of someone he'd killed (Of course our boy is into that! Daniel being so into Armand as a monster is my jam) and he's literally on the verge of tears with relief.

The second time, he's just so enamored with how he sees Armand with his vampire vision, the way he notices every little detail of his face, the light in Armand's eyes, and the way the kiss now feels like such an electric connection fusing them together. Anon, I'm going to cry!

So their reunion kiss has to be equally incredible! Daniel nervous and trembling, because it's been so long, because time and distance have created a gulf of uncertainty between them. But then there Armand is in front of him again, his personal devil, his immortal lover, his beautiful maker, and I'm sure in some ways it suddenly feels like nothing has changed.

I don't know when it happens. Is it a stolen kiss in some empty room of Trinity Gate, a brief encounter because they've snuck away for a moment to be alone? Is it on the street in New York after they go hunting together, the streets slick and glittering with rain? Is it back in Armand's bedroom, Daniel standing there unsure if Armand is going to kick him out before sunrise?

Wherever it happens, I have no doubt it's an incredible moment, Daniel's hands trembling as he grabs fistfuls of Armand's shirt fabric because he's clinging so tight, Armand trying not to tremble himself as he reaches for Daniel and their lips finally meet after so many years apart. How soft and jolting the kiss is at the same time, how it quickly turns passionate and desperate as they hold each other and don't want to let go. 😭💖

Thanks so much for the ask, anon, this has been such a great thing to spend my day thinking about. I'd love to know what you (any of you) think their reunion kiss was like, any and all versions of it, because no matter how or where it occurred, it was definitely memorable.

NINA IDK IF U TAKE PINTEREST BOARD SUGGESTIONS BUT IF YOU EVER GOT TIMW YOU SHOULD MAKE AN IKE ONE I THINK THAT WOULD BE AWESOME

hi, baby!

i TOTALLY take pinterest board suggestions! all kind of suggestions actually. i just don't accept demands or take kindly to people trying to coerce me into doing something i don't want to do with my fanfic.

sorry to rant, it's a bit of a sensitive spot for me. but your suggestion was lovely & i am quite happy to oblige you!

i made an ike section over here.

i Also made firkle a section here because i wanted you to see the important distinctions between the two of them.

because ike believes in vigilante justice, enjoys the stick it to the man energy of punk rock music, pierced his lip and bleached his hair as a form of rebellion against that system & wants to change the world.

whereas firkle is fucking frightening, skips class to smoke cigarettes and drink black coffee, hates fucking everyone but ike and thinks the world is a bleak, barren hopeless place and ike is wasting his time.

tldr: ike wants to better society, firkle would rather watch it burn.

yeah...yeah?

there’s something SO magical and powerful about listening to the Barbie movie soundtrack on a CD in 2024

icb when reason first dropped i wasnt that much of a fan of lone ranger... its such a good song... what was wrong w me

l e t m e i n ! ! !

as much as i am excited for shadow in sonic 3 i still REALLY wish they hadnt jumped straight to sa2 n done sonic adventure instead or Something. obviously i get why they did shadow but i agree i really hope they dont just straight up adapt sa2 because theres so many moving parts. my biggest fear is that theyre gonna introduce characters like rouge and amy who are integral to shadows story (in sa2) at the same time and that its just gonna be a mess

yeah i love rouge and amy but if the next movie has to handle introducing both of them along with shadow then things could get really messy and i highly doubt that all three of them would get the amount of screentime and focus that they deserve. rouge was introduced at the same time as shadow anyway so thats not as much of an issue its mostly amy im worried about. she was already an established character who had been around for a few years when sa2 came out. assuming that the next movie is gonna be an sa2 adaptation and amy is going to be in it how are they going to handle that being her first appearance? and while i dont think i want the movies to be exact copies of the games in terms of story i do find it a tiny bit annoying that they seem to be somewhat going in order in terms of what characters they introduce and what games they adapt but just completely skipped over everything with amy in it and shes still the only main character who hasnt been introduced in the movies yet and they revealed shadow before her. like on one hand yeah shadow is one of the more popular and widely recognized sonic characters so it makes sense to use him and hype him up but also why did you have to do my girl amy like that

i don't actually know anything about music because im uncultured BUT what's some of your favorite cd/case cover art that you have (do they have art on the cds themselves idk but why not i guess)

bwehehe!!!!! my favorite album art of them all wld probably be sgt peppers and oasis's be here now!! I'm a big fan of album art that either vaguely reminds me of contemporary art or ones that kind of go Hey let's see how much bullshit we can throw on the cover and both of those kind of fill those quotas. they both have this odd quality where the more u look at em the more interesting things u find hidden in the background .... anyways erm shoutout 2 the photoshopped car in the pool on the oasis one and the doll to the far right that says "meet the rolling stones!" on sg pep

this ask did make me go look at all the fronts to my cds (they do all generally have fronts-- some of them just have the names, minimal art, and general info like the producers/label/songs/etc-- since it does help figure out, like. which album yr listening to / what side to put it in on. i used 2 burn cds when i was like 9 and id forget to sharpie the right side a lot and it Was Not Fun) and I can honestly say my favorites are mcr's danger days and, again, oasis's be here now!!!!!!!

WAIT IS YOUR FUNTIME FREDDY CANONICALLY GERMAN TOO????

Imagine he gets mad at some shit and he slips out "SCHEIßE!!!!!" and the reader is like "....huh"

Well he is NOW
