So here we have
Ptolemy (Птолемей) reference


And Hephaestion (Гефестион) and his death from illness reference too!!!
And these two only what I managed to screenshot, because I was too invested into the story

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’
#i don’t know how to explain this to normal people 😭😭#for the record my coworkers didn’t directly question me on this#but i think i have vastly overestimated the amount of the population who is aware of like. Films.#NOT claiming that i have seen a lot - but i’ve mentioned three *REALLY* well-known films in the past four days#and got blank stares each time#the one of them was a REALLY good reference too… someday my top-notch association skills will be recognized#my first act as Mansion Acquaintance of the [redacted] Director will be to force everyone to watch a 40s romcom i didn’t even like#i���m getting off the point#the POINT is that It’s About The Catharsis

is anybody going to talk about how noelle’s mom is hellish combination of all the betas kids guardians
#deltarune#homestuck#and jade too bc her real guardian is an omnipotent omnipresent white dog !#deltarune spoilers#nothing could have prepared me for the amount of homestuck references in her home#I feel like I could have predicted the fancy santa collection tho

AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be
EDIT: seems this is more common among ND people than i thought, and probably not limited to AuDHD specifically :] i was just describing my own experiences and didn't expect this post to blow up, so don't take me for an authority, but i'm glad it resonated with so many of y'all
#actually adhd#actually autistic#audhd#aphelion.txt#ik 'adhd brain' vs 'autism brain' is a gross oversimplification especially given how much overlap there can be#but it at least helps me conceptualize wtf is going on in my head when i do this lol#and yeah i'm mostly referring to fandoms in this post but it can happen w more 'Traditional' special interests too#like my linguistics special interest which hasn't popped up in a couple years now but whenever it does#i will fill literal notebooks while studying 4 languages at once and simultaneously inventing a conlang#and then i'll be like Ok that was fun! and several months later im deleting like. 2gb of textbooks off my iphone to make room for an update#And sometimes yeah there is a precipitating event like 'Oh something new happened in X fandom with my blorbo!' but sometimes it's like#yeah. no. idk either. switch got flipped in my brain and X no longer sparks joy. only Y rn. how come it's Y? yeah idk i also wish i knew#i don't think any of this is actually an uncommon experience for people with these types of neurodivergencies it's just.#the severity of abruptness and TOTALITY of the switch that makes me feel like a weirdo sometimes lol#like I'M getting mental whiplash from this sometimes. idk how y'all are still following my blog

Ever needed a reference sheet for Jazz's alt mode? Well fear not, because I found his exact car





BEHOLD! The OG, the first, and the highly esteemed Porsche 935 chassis 935-001! First used for racing in 1976, this car is a legend just like Jazz >:D
Pls research it, I think it's cool :3
#maccadam#transformers#jazz#ref sheet#transformers reference#fall makes resources#Wanna make one for prowl too but his alt mode is based off of a general car model not a specific car#So if I showed you the car model it would not look like prowl at all#Best to look at photos of prowl's toys for his alt mode

We're going on an ass kicking adventure.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Yes indeed this is a reference to the classic 'Kirby's fucking pissed' meme. It felt fitting given the circumstances.#Wei Wuxian is nothing but a villain now. His name is but a booeyman and scapegoat for everything that goes wrong.#It is a cruel and unusual punishment to be Irrepairable to others. That no matter what you do - you are othered and unsalvageable.#While this situation deals with necromancy & war & politics...boy does it ever mirror how modern drama campaigns go.#I wonder if MXTX did that on purpose? Considering how SVSSS talks about the relationships between authors and their fans/work -#Its stands to reason that WWX story is indeed a parallel for how the public prefers black and white & sensationalist views of people.#People are heroes or villains and trying to think about the nuance is too much work.#And it does not matter what the truth or lies are. The rumour exists and so it must hold truth.#It feels like someone dropped a poorly researched callout post on WWX on twitter that went viral.#80% of the people don't even know who he is but are still leaving him death threats.#“Guys I know we all used to really love WWX's content but I heard he unethically sourced his bones for his last art installation...”#Okay actually he might indeed do unethical bone sourcing. I need to think longer on what the hyper-specific hobby drama might be.#And a huge shout out to LWJ who is right in the vicinity watching this happen in horror. *That* is a specially kind of torment too.

The little style study i did yesterday got me wanting to do more because I love trying to emulate people’s art styles as closely as possible so so so much. So heres some other wonderful artists’ odysseuses (odyssei?) in their styles i did for funsies

Edit: Please stop tagging them on my behalf, thank you :)
#all referenced from their respective artists please go give them all your love#tried to do wolfys for like an hour but gave up#their art style requires a mastery of anatomy i do not possess sadly#also im not tagging anyone im too scared#myart#odysseus#odysseus fanart#epic odysseus#epic the musical#epic the musical fanart#epic#can you tell i spent the longest on duvets because its the most accurate (to me) lol#i was pulling out the reference to measure proportions and shit

Forgot to upload this earlier with the sketch dump bc the file wasn’t working for some reason
Anyway you know that thing that’s done in movies when the two characters in love just stare at each other but the camera shifts to only one of their faces and you can notice all the little details of their eye like how their pupils dilate and as they just look at every part of their partner’s face ugh. Idk why it feels so intimate but it’s so good
But yeah here’s a sketch of that lol
#sonadow#shadow the hedgehog#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic#sonic the hedgehog fandom#animation#sketch#my art#sketches#animated sketch#animation sketch#i can’t remember which sketch tag i used on my other animations oh well#avatars of the Eye be like—#i try to say as someone beats me to death with a hammer bc their tired of my TMA references#also sorry the quality is so bad jesus christ#tumblr pls let me upload the GIF wdym the file is too big 😭

#my art#tloz#a link to the past#zelda#I decided I was big time not having fun with csp so I tried sai instead and it's going so much better...#I figured that now that I can I should start figuring out proper references for myself so I'll stop being so inconsistent but also like#the last time I was art program struggling it was a 3 character lineup (rip khml) that saved me too so maybe this time...#I'm definitely not as happy with these and I think they were better without shading but !!#I'm so back in business !!!!!#the colours are way too saturated on my monitor but I already merged the layers so 🫡#in my head these are scaredy cat era#girly pop (cottagecore edition) era#and 'my turn on the xbox' era#huh? princessy dresses ???? sorry I gotta go
