Nothing will ever be as painful as seeing something tagged "[character x] is scottish" and thinking "oh cool, that's exactly my headcanon", only to start reading it and immediately realise that the person who wrote it has never spoken to a Scottish person ever in their life

#just. an endless sea of och ayes and dinnae kens in place of actual dialogue #that might actually be too generous a lot of them probably arent even familiar with dinnae ken #this is a psa - if you're writing a scottish character and want to 'write in the accent'#first. maybe don't?#second please know it's not an accent scots is its own language that just happens to be mostly mutually intelligible with english #third please please please get a scottish person to look over it before you post it #hell i offer my own services i don't care if it's something I'm not familiar with or what the actual subject matter is #I'd rather beta read 10000 fics i would otherwise never touch to make sure they use scots properly #than have 1 i think sounds super cool have some of the nonsense youse seem to think is scots

I saw a lady today holding a kitten really high up so artistic rendition of it because it made my day. The lil guy was just okay with it

#my art #cats #oops don't mind me just showing my kitten the clouds up above #funny thing is I didn't recognize what it was at first #did I scream when I noticed it was a kitten? maybe

YAAAAY U REPLIED TO MY ASK! 1!!! 1! 1! 1!! (also can we have some more shadow hating Robotnik for existing and loving stone for... Also existing)

They're all adapting

#ask ask ask #stobotnik #agent stone #doctor ivo robotnik #shadow the hedgehog #shadow doesn't understand the dynamic but he will protect stone #stone just thinks the doctor is acting a bit weird but hey at least he's not dead #robotnik is trying to... be a good boss-friend? honestly he doesn't know #he just wishes shadow would leave #also i headcanon that ivo built Stone's motorbike #was probably the first thing he actually created once he recovered from the events of the second movie #and he added a bunch of stuff stone never uses and a lot of safety things #(he just came out of multiple surgeries stone you don't need to go through that too)#but anyway it's a very cool bike so in this particular au i think stone would he like #hey doctor maybe you can do one for shadow too!#and ivo goes haha. never. NEVER.

A fish out of water...

Did you know that in every story, even if they marry, the selkie is still longing to go back to the sea?

But at least he has a siren husband who can sing for him.

more of them

#occudo's art #tma fanart #martin blackwood #jonathan sims #selkie!martin #siren!jon #not me making the funny fairy-tale au sad for myself #btw the sea isn't singing a creepy way!#I just think Martin would miss #the calling voice of the place #where he first felt at home #and the feeling that maybe one day #he could understand how his mother felt #even if he knows it's not the same #and jon is all don't go where I can't follow we just got here #but I don't think he could ever put his feelings into worlds #so he sings

even dogs pass the mirror test

#hello again everyone. how's it going #isat loop #in stars and time #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #isat #lucabyteart #isat spoilers #so. had this idea Before getting my hands on the artbook and being validated. literally have a voice note from 4:30am on the 8th where #i frantically noted down this just horrid horrid horrid caption because i'd been musing on the sasasap Dress line all day i suppose #just kind of rotating in my brain the way any kind of first time trying on new clothes for them would be .#just absolutely mental breakdown material and not one i think would be recovered from quickly. they hate being in their own skin #like. a lot? like a lot. the collateral of any kind of transfemme read was barely in my mind until it ended up relevant again while i was #actively working on this. because christ that's a bad combo. 2x different forms of body dysphoria in one. maybe even 3x somehow #plus any scenario where they get clothes is... likely gifted. something they react viciously negatively to in game and i doubt #would improve thereafter. just a veritable katamari of disgust and self-loathing #like i was mostly just thinking abt how a lot of our collective depictions of loop being alienated from their body are rather abstract #in a body horror way mostly. on account of loop being more of a metaphor than a person half the time. so i think i wanted to depict #something closer to just. a human level of body dysphoria. no focus on the whole duplicate thing just... raw disgust for the self #but with the addition of recent discussion and playing ball more with the she/her loop and transfem loop angle...#scenario of leaning into femininity to try throw off suspicion on who they are PLUS realising they might want that PLUS the party #trying to use this to bond with them PLUS body dysphoria PLUS new!gender dysphoria PLUS the usual revulsion for wanting and desire #like. that is a catastrophic combination . not coming out of that one without it getting worse for a few weeks thereafter #that's a real lash out at everyone around them and then recede in shame type breakdown. which im sure looks interesting from #the party's pov because jesus christ that touched a nerve something awful (<- they only have half the context AT BEST)#. so . there's your free scenario to ponder on if you'd want to. seeing as ive done a picture without a shitload of words on it for once #ALSO don't get smart with me in the tags about the mirror test being an absolutely ass test in most regards re: self-awareness #or that things like minnows pass it. i'm a fellow pedant dont worry. it's just that minnow doesn't really have the same ring as dog yknow?#this is supposed to be like an absolutely excruciatingly self loathing thought spoken aloud of a caption. it's pithy and cruel on purpose #and more than a little inspired by (reblogged yesterday) liminal space's 'there is no other dog. it's just you'

After all, I want to be wanted Is that so wrong?

#isat #static #siffrin #odile isat #isat isabeau #bonnie isat #isat mirabelle #that's a sadness in the first pic if u couldn't tell lol #i couldn't be bothered to find out what type of sadness they fought in the tutorial even and rlly it doesn't matter #don't click for better quality in fact the worse quality this is the better it looks #if i made this into an animation i had the silly idea that it could briefly glitch into colour #the way it glitches into monochrome in the orig vid #unfortunately there's no way i'll animate the whole static video #but maybe that one lil scene. if im in the mood :3

This is just what happens when Tenna airs a zombie movie. Nobody told these three it's not real.

I was thinking this sort of joke would be the logical conclusion of this bit since before you sent this ask but I'm not very good at dialoguing so this took me 1 million years to make. It's also extremely tall Apologies in advance everyone

#my art #deltarune #mike deltarune #battat #jongler #pluey #tenna #I forgot how I settled on tagging tenna I'll check later *dies*#I feel like the joke is unclear here for some reason but maybe it's just because my head has been turned into mush.#The joke is that pluey is the only one that's actively been in Mike Forme in these posts.#this arc is now OVER i will from now on be drawing something OTHER THAN THIS VERY SPECIFIC PREMISE #Please disregard any continuity issues between the first and second image. I drew the second picture first but realized it needed setup.#dt #deltarune spoilers #I stopped tagging spoilers for a whole day and yet somehow I feel the need to do it again. I don't know why.#Also I know in the tags of the first post it was established that pluey is fine. He's still fine. He's experiencing the placebo effect.

Part of the reason I'm so amused when people think trans people are ultra-sensitive is remembering that when I was in middle school (thirteen at the oldest), I was out as trans, and the school administration called me into their office to tell me one of my teachers was "uncomfortable" with how trans I was. What was the thing I did to be "too trans"? Just saying I'm a boy. Literally that was too much for him and he needed the administration to tell me personally that he was offended.

If that's what a calm, rational person looks like... I think I'll settle with being the insane guy. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to be offended at a child for who they are. And if you're an adult who is like that, I mean this from the bottom of my heart, but you're a loser.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #maybe it's ageist but i'm too grown to care what kids are up to #and if you're grown and you don't have that mindset... yeah. i'm judging you #my first instinct when i see a kid who is open about who they and they're happy and no one is harmed is to be happy for them #oftentimes i've been proud for a kid being so real to who they are. but i don't care enough to THINK about feeling any negative thing #you know the worst part? i didn't even have anything against the guy. i still LIKED him #i KNEW he didn't like that i existed as i was and i still took the mature road. and he was grown??? yeah. i'm judging that.#you'd think an adult wouldn't want to be out-matured by someone half their age but man. that's not at all right ime #it's absolutely bizarre to me that adults are seen as inherently mature. you see the way adults act?#because that's not what's going on for a LOT of adults #anyway to any younger folk out there: no it's not normal for an adult to be offended at who you are. they shouldn't be giving a fuck #if you're a trans kid and adults are offended by that just know that they represent the most immature small-minded people #they will never grow as much as you will because THEY are inhibiting their own growth. they are CHOOSING mediocrity #you have the chance to grow into something twice what they are. you are able to be more than they EVER will be. let yourself have that #let yourself grow to the heavens while they wither into their own self-made hell

Angela Orosco Silent Hill 2

#in anticipation of the incoming remake #i tried my best to imitate the SH font but #silent hill #silent hill 2 #angela #angela orosco #theme of laura (reprise)#i've said it before but in spite of its occasionally clunky diction i think silent hill 2 is an unusually emotionally intelligent game #for any year and still today but especially so for where gaming storytelling was in 2001 #and for as many pitfalls a story like hers could've dipped into i think it particularly shines through with how they treated angela #not just choosing to depict victimhood as something that can be ugly and fractious and open quote “difficult” but then this #actively rebuffing james for trying to offer hope and dressing him down for it too #“i know you mean well and want to help but this isn't a simple problem"#“and it's really hurtful and a bit insulting that you act like you can”#the switching to a first person view turning it into an address to the player as well #maybe even old videogame tropes too #“this isn't some princess in a castle kind of situation dude this is more serious than that”#it felt like a very deliberate statement about the depth and severity of a trauma like this #and in doing so showing it so much respect #there is no quick easy solution to this and you won't get one #then angela just leaves #and you never see her again #i really don't think it was to imply that it consumed her i think it was to underline what was just said #this isn't your problem to fix #this is where your part in this story ends #there's some strength in that

luo binghe is just a shelter dog that got returned too many times and now he's caught between trying to be so good, he'll be so sweet and obedient, just don't abandon him again, please, or biting and growling from the back of his cage because if he doesn't get adopted, then he can't get abandoned again

#svsss #does this make sense #i am once again bingheposting while half asleep #i was gonna make this distinction between bingmei and bingge #shelter dog swag vs semiferal stray with a biting problem #but tbh theyre both like this #bingmei is mostly shelter dog but that behavior on maigu ridge is the behavior of someone who's been abandoned too many times #so he's lashing out so they don't get the chance to abandon him again #meanwhile bingge is mostly the street dog with a biting problem #but the extra when sqq cares for him is the experience of a stray being let inside for the first time #and being overwhelmed by it #and being like maybe if im good they won't kick me out on the street again #augh. it's not a perfect metaphor. but i have binghe on the brain
