YOU

Do you know what you’ve done?! WELL DO YA?! Your little sketch with the boys and their cuddling has been rotating on my mind like a microwave for the pst couple months my dude. Like…it’s giving me ideas it’s so thought incredibly provoking. Especially the Donnie one. Now I’m not a Donnie stan (I appreciate him as a fellow nerdy dork) but like…that sketch got me feeling some kind of way. I don’t know if you intended this, but like…do you ever think about the intimacy of Donnie being the big spoon? Man’s a soft shell. He knows this, accepts it and even wears it with pride. He literally has an entire shell line designed to highlight and protect this so called “soft” part about him. But despite having a softer shell than his rough and tough brothers, his leathery shell still has more a defense than the simple skin and muscle that is your back. Do you think he thinks about that as he holds you, cool fingers gently tracing each notch of your spine, understanding that this simple structure was literally the center of it all? It’s holds and protects the spinal cord which is the freeway for thought that leads to that intricate delicacy that is your mind. One he never gets bored of trying to explore.

It’s the center of nerves which then allows you to move, bend, stretch, grow and even dance with him in graceful ways that he himself unfortunately can not due to the limitations of being a turtle.

This spine is what holds your ribs which protects your heart. One that he is still surprised on the daily that beats with fond thoughts towards him.

And here you lay within his arms, willingly exposing one of the most vulnerable parts about yourself to him without a single thought, a single concern. Nothing. Just blind blatant trust. Can you imagine Donnie slotting himself behind you, pulling your back flush against the protection of his plastron. His arms wrapping tightly around your waist as he all but cradles you against his body, nuzzling his beak into your sweet scented hair and pressing a tender kiss to the back of your head. That’s the beautiful thing about being human he supposes, that you share that vulnerable with the rest of the world, willing or not, with little to no defenses. No battle shell. Nothing. You go out and face the world. Bare. Every. Single. Day. Well… it doesn’t have to be nothing any longer. You have Donnie now. And while he’s no Raphael when it comes to general strength, Donnie has always, ALWAYS, taken great pride in protecting what he cherishes. Not to brag or anything, but Donnie’s defense are in fact top notch and state of the art. And let’s face it, the data is adding up to the point he couldn’t even fight the statistics if he tried.

Donnie cherishes you.

And if you can be brave and vulnerable in baring your back to him…Donnie supposes he can too.

Even if it means having to expose his soft shell to the rest of the wretched cold world enable to protect you. He’d do it in a heartbeat, Donnie realizes. He’d do it for you. Do you ever think about the intimacy and the symbolism of Donnie being the big spoon?

I,

UH

Hold on-

I'm actually going to go insane hold on-

have u ever thought about drawing body horror of computers

I have! i never went like. full blood and guts inside the computer case ( if that's what you mean? or would it be fucked up wires and broken screens? it's difficult to get visceral horror across when the subject of the body horror is a computer) but i did some adjacent stuff :)

these two are kinda in line with that idea:

and this one is more angel- centered but it goes with the others

also honorable mention:

Leviathan waved the screen of his DDD in front of your face. He had finally achieved an impressive full rhythm combo in extreme hell mode. Twinkling particle effects and triumphant background music accompanied this feat.

"It was only a matter of time," he gloated. "I knew if I kept at it, I'd get the perfect combo eventually. I actually have, like, really good reflexes, you know? Probably some of the best in existence. They didn't promote me to admiral for noth-- aah!!"

The boasting was interrupted when Beelzebub walked up and swatted him in the forehead. While Beelzebub looked calm, a flood of emotions washed over Leviathan's face. Hurt, betrayal, anger, panic, and above all, confusion.

"What was that for!?" he yelled, rubbing at the red bump just starting to swell under his bangs.

"I was testing your reflexes," Beelzebub said. "You said they were fast."

Leviathan scoffed. "Well, I wasn't ready! I was too distracted by my full combo to really notice... A-anyway! I know I favor RPGs, but just so you know, I'm also pretty high ranking when it comes to FPS games. So I know I can handle-"

Beelzebub smacked his brother in the shoulder. Straight-on, in full view. Leviathan did not dodge. He stayed completely still and only moved once the blow had already striked his shoulder. He stared at his younger brother in disapproval with wide eyes and a deep frown.

"Beel. What gives?"

"Levi, your reflexes suck," Beelzebub observed.

Leviathan growled, "I just wasn't in the zone, ok!? If you had gotten a full combo on extreme hell mode, I know you'd be open to attacks, too!"

"No, I'm pretty sure you just suck. My reflexes are way better."

"Please don't fight," you sighed. "You both have great reflexes for different situations."

"Mine are better," Beelzebub said at the same time Leviathan insisted, "Mine are the best!"

100th post! And I'm no longer homeless! Yay!

I wanted to show you all Slaynil, or in other words, Faenil's Thalmor Embassy outfit. They really said that they're gonna show up and just kill everyone with their looks. It's kinda funny to compare the casual crusty and scrungly Faenil to the glammed up party diva Faenil. But you have no idea how fucking insane I go for juicy dramatic party infiltration storylines, and I'm definitely gonna make Diplomatic Immunity in Faenil's fic the plotline I always wanted it to be. There's so much potential and so much to explore, so I'll really need to use my thinking cap for that one LMAO

Oh, and this look isn't done without Toxic by Britney Spears playing in the background.

Here is the finished version of my smaller & simplified Hierophant embroidery design! It measures 3.5 inches wide rather than 6.25 like my larger and more complex pattern, and I tried a different color palette for the background to bring it closer to the original card. It's still not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

This pattern takes a lot less time than the bigger one, so is more approachable. Both these patterns and my other designs will be available in my new etsy store as I finish writing out instructions and uploading them :)

This finished piece will also be for sale for anyone interested, and I am taking limited embroidery commissions for now.

Pretty much as soon as Tenna showed up I was making comparisons between him and Mettaton, you have no idea how delighted I was when I found out I could give Tenna to him. <3

I noticed this old drawing of mine was getting some attention again, and I know I've been wanting to redraw it for a while, so I went ahead and did that :D

Now I have to ask- WHY do you hate Pacific Rim?

Okay, fair warning, this is about as bitter and salty and small-minded as day-old caviar. But. My bitter, salty (probably fishy) opinion:

Pacific Rim is only a good movie because it's a well-written story about robots punching monsters.

That's it. That's all there is to the movie.

I started out merely disappointed by Pacific Rim. We went gaga for the preview materials that promised these unique well-rounded character pairs and trios with these idiosyncratic robots from all these different Pacific nations... And then the movie itself is about some bland white American guy who pilots a robot named a racial slur, the second most fleshed-out team is bland white Australian guys, and the Chinese team is there, kind of, in the background, but don't worry they're going to die first. The "character-driven story" turned out to be "various characters take turns punching aliens" but, sure, whatever, I love the MCU so why not.

The day I went from "Pacific Rim is overrated" to "Pacific Rim is the worst thing that has ever happened to human civilization, I'm extremely normal about this" was the day I saw a Tumblr post suggesting we replace the Bechdel test with the Mako Mori test. Because Mako Mori has her own plot and doesn't kiss North Carolina at the end, making her a whole new type of feminist icon.

To which I was like:

We are talking about the same movie here, right? The Pacific Rim that can't even pass the Bechdel test? The Pacific Rim that's all about might-makes-right, the Pacific Rim that has ONE speaking role for ONE female character in its (from IMDB) 50-person cast? The Pacific Rim that repeatedly puts its only female character in danger and has her rescued by first Idris Elba then North Carolina? THAT Pacific Rim?

Is there a different Mako Mori I haven't met? Because the one I've seen a) has a character arc driven by deciding whether to obey her father or follow her heart, which is as inoffensive and stale as an unblessed communion wafer, b) does nothing that Ellen Ripley didn't do 30 years earlier, but with about 5% of the character depth Ripley got, and c) stands there in silence looking sad as two men punch each other over the question of her virtue.

Any post assuming this movie invented the idea of "small Asian woman kicks monster ass" needs to learn its damn history. Especially the ones acting like her being physically small is somehow a feminist bonus. There's something embarrassingly ahistorical about the whole thing.

And look. I get how we got here. I know how easily Tumblr backs you into a rhetorical corner of "calling a story Good can never mean merely 'enjoyable'; calling a story Good must mean 'virtuous'". Until next thing you know you're arguing that actually, shipping Obi-Wan/Darth Vader is a net good for all of society, because gay divorced middle-aged tyrants who use supplemental oxygen and murdered their exes in a custody dispute over the one kid (out of two) they actually care about deserve to see themselves in sci fi too! You only end up in that corner because half the time you're arguing against someone who says that shipping Obi-Wan/Darth Vader is literally the same thing as supporting father-son incest, so your real reasons for shipping them (1. foe yay, 2. old man yaoi) seem wildly insufficient.

Much of what I see about Pacific Rim seems neck-deep in the "it's not allowed to be a Good Movie unless it single-handedly dismantles the patriarchy" fallacy. There's nothing progressive about shipping two dudes best known for chopping off each other's body parts with laser swords. And there's nothing progressive about a movie having its only female character hug the male protagonist at the end instead of kissing him. You're allowed to like a thing just because it's well-made, without acting like a bog-standard normatively-broey action flick somehow invented a new form of feminism. Anyway, "Pacific Rim is a perfectly fine movie" is the hill I will die upon, heretical though it may be.
