#first assignment down

Really burned out trying to do more than one unit a year, so it seems.
#...as can probably be inferred by my endless procrastination here and seeking of minor dopamine bursts!#first assignment down#i *really* enjoyed last trimester coming back into it after the baby#this trimester i'm just resentful XD#it was the same my first year back into study: loved the first unit#massively begrudged and resented the second#part of it is that i HATE half-arsing things#and that when i do half-arse including by choice i get bitter and mocking about it#the other part is more complicated#because i do enjoy the learning even when it's whinging or bitching about the concepts (it's like change resistance - at least whinging#about a thing requires legitimately engaging with it; first steps to critical thinking then understanding/implementing)#anyway i can drop back to one unit a year from next year#just need to grind through the next two assignments :/

When Soda was still in school, whenever he had to read a novel for English class, instead of reading it himself, he'd have Ponyboy read it out to him.
His parents didn't love this since they'd really preferred Soda did his homework on his own, but they honestly didn't have the heart to stop it because Ponyboy just loved doing it.
I mean, he got to do two of his two favorite things at the same time, reading and spending time with his big brother. And besides, Soda's English grades always spiked when his class was doing novels because Ponyboy would also take the time to explain the book to Soda to make sure he understood it.
Even though Soda did eventually drop out and never willingly reached for a book ever again, occasionally he'll ask Ponyboy to read him one of his books out-loud before they go to bed because he knows a part of Ponyboy misses doing it.
#the outsiders#ponyboy curtis#sodapop curtis#bro invented the first audiobook#this also helped ponyboy down the road because he'd already read like 90% of the novels his teachers would assign him in high school#he'd read them again anyway though because he's a big book nerd lol#they are brothers your honor#curtis brothers

the way the music died at just the right moment made this so perfect
#HAVE I MENTIONED I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP#holy hell i'm brainstorming there will be an essay in the tags#da4#dragon age veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#taash#i love how that phrase became a joke between them and got this far. and with lucanis being first talon#plus if you have taash assigned with the crows rook and teia comment on making them an honorary crow#i genuinely wonder if taash actually joins them and how it would go down#because on the one hand i imagine lucanis can just immediately let it happen no questions asked#but on the other hand the crows are more than what they appear to taash and it's not like people line up to join the crows#ANYWAY ignoring whether it's a good idea or not-- considering caterina's probably not far from passing#and illario being locked away (in my universe) House Dellamorte is down to one (1) and it's the first talon himself#so what if - dare i say it - lucanis takes taash under his wing and makes them part of house dellamorte#because taash has lost their family. lucanis has lost his. lucanis has since realised a family doesn't have to be by blood#and so lucanis is like 'you could be part of the dellamorte family. if you want. I won't be upset if you don't- i can find another house f-'#and taash is just 'fuck off you're joking of COURSE fuck yeah!'#and i imagine taash would want to be his personal bodyguard and lucanis is like NO that's too much stress and things you'd have to learn#and be aware of. and taash is like 'okay but how many crows do you know of that can breathe fire to threaten people'#and then spite dramatically intervenes with 'YES! FIRE!!!!!' and lucanis is right back in Tired Dad Mode lmao#ANYWAY i have a lot of feelings about their friendship

Just before
[Image Description: a full-color drawing, depicting the moment before Lyanna Stark is discovered to be the Knight of tihe Laughing Tree by Rhaegar Targaryen.
In the foreground, Lyanna Stark stands on a large grey stone at the edge of some water. She is barefoot and her shirt’s ties are undone so it falls open, revealing linen chest wrappings. Her shirt is white with red details and a silvery-grey lining. She also wears strips of light-colored fabric like her chest wrappings around her wrists. She wears dark grey stirrup pants. Her hair is in two braids, one still piled up on her head, the other falling down. Her hair ribbons are blue. Her bangs are plastered to her forehead. A necklace with a silver pendant with a wolf emblem on it is tucked into her chest wrappings. In her left hand, she holds her plain, wooden jousting lance straight up. Her helmet is propped between her left elbow and hip. She looks downward, towards the water in front of her, smiling, looking breathless and excited.
Also in the foreground is water, lots of grass, reeds, cattails, and more grey stones. A sapphire sits in the water. A pair of steel-toed leather boots is nearby. A little behind Lyanna, a crumpled grey dress is lying in the grass. A frog sits on the stump of a tree. There are a few purple flowers and red weirwood leaves scattered here and there.
In the midground is a massive weirwood tree, its foliage taking up much of the top half of the drawing. Lyanna’s shield, painted with the image of a laughing weirwood, is propped beneath its face. A raven perches on one of its boughs, in profile. A figure in profile wearing red and black, Rhaegar, is just coming around the tree, sword extended in front. The background is mostly blue, with an attempt to convey more trees and forest behind the subjects. / End ID.]
#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#my art#lyanna stark#the knight of the laughing tree#tkotlt#the tourney at harrenhal#the tourney of harrenhal#rhaegar targaryen#asoiaf fashion hour#rhaegar x lyanna#really broke out my markers again for the first time in a while for this one!#I kind of hate the top left corner but i didn’t want to crop my beautiful beautiful weirwood 🥰 isnt he lovely?#me putting a frog and a raven in the picture: … absolutely NO skinchangers watching THIS go down#anyways. lyanna can experience a little gender euphoria before she gets publicly assigned woman again for the rest of her too-short life.

scum viewers omniscient reading system
smartass reader who wifes up his favorite emotionally unstable dog of a protagonist and whose default solution to any inconvenience is to die, all while going the entire story without realizing their great (positive) influence on the people around them.... their similarities are truly great. that said,
sqq: what, you need a skill to repress your feelings? noob. kdj: and you never even tried to figure out how to dismantle your controlling system? coward.
#if kdj/yjh and sqq/lbh swapped stories#i think kdj would have the system trapped in a one sided deal within a week#and also yjh would have grabbed kdj by the scruff of his neck and dragged him down into the abyss with him#meanwhile the fourth wall would go up around sqq and never even shake until the first time lbh cries - at which point it'd fall instantly#on lbh's side i think the biggest difference would actually come from the sp equivilant who im going to assign the role of bingge#bc i do NOT think he would have been as easy-going in his atticwifing sqq would NOT leave that simply#nyoomerr ask#sORRY I TOOK AWHILE TO ANSWER THIS BTW ive been . dead tired from con prep and etc dfg

I have no caption I am just spinning these three around in my head
#my art#maccadam#transformers#idw#siren#nightbeat#hosehead#i'm. also procrastinating on assignments by doodling these I am just really not looking forward to doing this particular one#the first pic was drawn on my ipad and I've lost my apple pen so there might be some inconsistencies (I am face blind :pensive:)#I wanted to note down the general idea at least for future reference for now I draw them jfdkfjd#it says notes about facial expressions because I was going to mess around with expressions and then I never got that far lmao#the curse of only latching onto fairly obscure characters in media (except nightbeat but like)

brusty breakup arc will always get to me because even when brock gets back with doc in season 6, you can tell things arent the same anymore. brock doesnt care. he is trying so desperately to care but he cant anymore. doc really fucked it with not ever doing anything for brock, and between ORB and The family that slays together stays together part 2 brock had enough of not being taken seriously and he just never came back from that
#brusty you will always be famous to me but 💔#i know him running off was due to like 637272872 different facts too hunter shoutout but i really think doc acting the way he did was IT#i feel like no one actually wants to acknowledge how things in fact did not go back to how they used to be between them#and i know thats also due to the writing and how they were so plot focused they didnt have enough time to focus on anyones relationships#besides the boys and whatever the fuck is happening in the monarch polycule#but if we take the actual explanation for it its coz brock is after all a spy. he needs action. wasnt really within his job role to have a#family. he was happy to be back in work with hunter the way hes always done it before getting assigned ORB. thats the life he chose#and then the first time they got that spark again after allllll that going down is only in the unicorn in captivity#and theres way too much to unpack with all that.#their loveless marriage ❤️#venture bros#meta#brusty#brock samson#rusty venture#vbros

Warning for: The (spider) legs showing below!
Under the hoodie/layers, she tends to wrap her legs around her kinda like a hug! And so in the first part that's the weird bumps under the hoodie. They're starting to unravel a bit. She hates being called a monkey cause it's NOT her fault she's short and has to climb on things and up things and includes people in "things" category.
#my characters#911 and 810 and 666 (Satan) are all just agents and everyone except 911 has an odd feature of sorts#such as her spider legs and 666s tail and 343s eye on her chest and so on#they just go by their assigned numbers usually until 666 overheard 911 talking on the phone and heard him say#yeah yeah its eric sorry for a new number again#bc he tends to get new phone numbers for secret keeping reasons#but he has to call his parent to check on em! so hes like yup its me! that guy with an actual name!#and 666 is like oh thats hilarious and starts to call him Prince (since he likes to sing a lot and also prince eric sooo)#and in return to being dubbed prince he starts calling 666 satan#but! 810 and 666 become really good friends and she decides it might not be his name but its more personal than a number#so she adopts the teasing nickname as an affectionate nickname#also 911 is distinctly the only actual boring human amidst the group and he just keeps finding out about the others on accident#and then since he lives at HQ he starts to offer his very boring room up to his friends so they can strip down#and let the extra limbs or parts get some air#so hes constantly just walking into his own room and having 810 in her underwear face down on his bed with her legs out#and he sighs and goes about his day#hes kinda grateful 666 just lets his tail out and keeps his pants on most days but hes also walked into his room and#no pants only boxers tail out and flicking happily#so he just kinda counts it as a win for everyone if satan is happy (satan is the nicest of them lmao)#but yes! in the first part shes basically yelling shes gonna kill him she swears to her best friend#and 911 is like yeah ok thats scary please do NOT actually choke your human jungle gym lets just not do that actually thanks!#anyway sorry for the heap of tags i wont stop overall but i will for now ty for looking at my ocs

Where should you be kissed?
Knuckles. it feels as though you have fought every day of your life. sometimes, you cannot even tell how much of the blood on your hands is your own... and how much comes from those who've tried to hurt those you defend. you deserve the gentleness of a kiss to your bruised knuckles and broken skin, a reminder that you are not only made of violence.
[stolen from templeofvengeance; tagging you]
#ooc#dash game#[putting my haterism aside for one (1) minute to say this: I understand where Miguel's actions and vitriol come from. He's right in mental#rock bottom‚ to him‚ Miles is anomaly 001‚ a stressor that refuses to follow his assigned worldview-- if not all of 1610 somehow still#existing after Miles *supposedly* fucked it up‚ at his wit's end running the Society‚ endlessly reliving his grief/never letting it heal‚#and once he actually MEETS him‚ he probably reminds him too much of himself: stubborn‚ over his head but refusing to back down‚#an endless desire to DO GOOD but not knowing how or what to do. And that scares him. Because if he‚ the anomaly‚ the first cosmic flaw‚#WINS‚ is right‚ it'll upend his entire worldview. Everything he's fought for‚ ruthlessly enforced‚ staked the Society as a whole in.#This isn't me being an apologist btw; I'd love nothing more than to throttle his ass. But... but but but.#Somewhere in that endless lattice of biting‚ ready temper and dourness and utter dogmatism to the point he refuses to CONSIDER other views#is an extremely grief-stricken‚ lonely‚ stressed to hell and back man with enough emotional baggage to fill a cargo hull. Who THINKS he's#doing good‚ WANTS to do good on a large scale‚ no matter the cost‚ the burden‚ the filth he has to endlessly wash his hands of.#And that's what makes him the topic of some weird fucked up obsession of mine in spite of my simultaneous HATRED of him]#[hey here's a drink if u read this far🍻]

biting clawing screaming crying desperate for more content about the lovely terrible mother-son relationship between Janeway and Kim. it's SO unhealthy I love it
#so youre a starship captain on your first assignment#youre a little nervous but you're confident. you deserve this#there's a young man on your crew roster. he's fresh out of the academy#but you have a good feeling about him so you send him to the bridge for his first post#suddenly its all gone to shit. you're stranded 70k light years from home and a lot of your crew is dead.#to make matters worse that young man has been kidnapped#you manage to get him back#but you're still stranded. theres a lifetime of travel in between you and home.#and you see that young man#who you KNOW has never been on a deep space mission before. never been home away for so long#whose parents called you just before shit went down to say he forgot his clarinet#you see him put on a brave face. and you know you have to get him home at all costs#star trek voyager#voy#captain janeway#kathryn janeway#harry kim#toadtalks

Trying to analyze the tropes in my own fics to see if I think they're successful as component pieces and getting so confused I give myself psychic damage send help
#spazzcat barks#i was trying to figure out how -- if at all -- the 5 man band structure appears in RnS#Helsknight has been labeled: Leader Lancer and Strong Man#i think i am more firmly planting him on Lancer/Strong Man#but the story itself makes a compelling case for Helsknight is the leader but the story is narrated by his Lancer [Tanguish]#Tanguish not surprisingly Ive put in: Hero/Leader Lancer and Heart#EB i think could be Strong Man or Heart with emphasis on Heart#Martyn could be the Smart Guy for Tanguish or the Lancer for Helsknight#in which case if Martyn is Helsknights Lancer than Tanguish could compellingly be Helsknight's Smart Guy instead#conversely Tango doesnt fit into the 5 man band structure. he is instead an inciting insident / catalyst#who could become a support character role a la Heart later but only once he gets more screen time#as of right now hes very one dimensional#meanwhile Welsknight is one of three plot antagonists#the Main Antagonist is the Universe/Death#it represents a force of nature antag#the major secondary Antag and the Tanguish specific antag is the Demon#he represents what needs to change about the world and the concepts that Tanguish is ideallgocally opposed to#Welsknight however is theeeeeee#oh words#i belive its called the Saboteur? Antag archetype?#he is the thing that breaks things down from the inside#also to be further established#anyway ive been thinking about this for hours >:/#if i can not put my little guys into their assigned boxes i think that means i didnt quite make the mark on those boxes#which isnt inherently bad -- the main cast of RnS is a duo Hero/Right Hand Man archetype first#and a 5 man band second#but still! frustrating
