Had an idea for a comic and was upset that I’d probably never draw it, then remembered that the cookie run comic creator is literally a thing that exists lmao
#it’s 4am btw 💛#Jungleberry ma’am you’ve got Two expressions 💛#she’s happy in the first three panels alright#also new ships alert lollll#on the fence for eternal sugar X Hollyberry but will not deny the toxic yuri#the site fought me like almost every inch of the way btw. why’d it do that#my post#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#I’m not tagging all them cookies I’m just gonna tag the ships now#prinstachio#kumilily#rasplily#idk if that’s a ship fully yet. it was hinted at in the latest beast yeast. even a throwaway line can spawn a ship so#kumirasplily#fireknight#hollytaya#hollysugar#hollytayasugar#kinda. there was very little room but Hollyberry was meant to mention ES wasn’t actually her partner too she (es) just was gunnin for it-#as you can see Pitaya is about to Attack so-#forgot to title it lol oh welllll#pretend it says something like ‘Jungleberry Relationship Judge’ or whatever#edit: Also can we talk about how knight and FS’s sprites have kinda parallel poses here?

I feel bad for neglecting Hazel so much, I do have many thoughts about her.. and also a mermaid au that im probably not going to do anything with
#fop#fairly oddparents#fop a new wish#fairly oddparents a new wish#hazel wells#fop hazel#fop dev#dev dimmadome#art#digital art#doodles#I wish Hazels parents were more flawed tbh...#Like I get why they wanted to have them be good rep so that young people could know what a good family is supposed to look like#but it felt like every time there was an opportunity to have them do something genuinely flawed-#they would perfectly sidestep it before it even became a problem#I really enjoyed the first episode because it showed a hint of a very unique emotional issue Hazel had related to having a therapist mother#The idea that she has to be mature all the time#constantly living around therapy speak makes her feel like she isnt allowed room to breathe#Feeling unable to express her emotions without someone there giving advice that she isnt ready for yet#just small things!#She feels so pressured to be emotionally mature all the time BECAUSE she gets praised for it#maybe im projecting everyone always tell me I was so mature for my age...#But like I really really wanted to see that from her!!#And then after that episode it doesnt even come up again#The only other episode that features the moms job as a conflict is the one where she wants to spend more time with her#which is a fine conflict I guess but it still ends with her saying all the perfect things#I wanted Markus to be more of a genuine threat too. even if he didnt actually do anything having him be more looming would have been nice#I feel like they mostly forget hes a para scientist most of the time idk.#I just felt like his interactions could have been more unique#Maybe he will be in future seasons idk

case study of the self-identified god
#obsessed with the fact that rain world is a game about survival#yet every character we meet has the express goal of trying to optimize killing themselves#every creature in game seems perfectly content fulfilling their role in the ecosystem no matter how many cycles they do the same thing#(rly obvious with gourmand's entire route. guy who lives their life to the fullest without the slightest hint of resentment)#it was really only the ancients who thought they were above it and thought of it as something to escape from#5pebbles is so interesting because the only reason hes “”“godlike”“” is because of his vast knowledge. if he was in any slugcats shoes he#would die instantly which is ironically what hes been trying to do this whole time#this comic was kind of exploring the idea of awareness (divinity) as something that drags down ones enjoyment of life (walking).#if 5p would humble himself down enough to walk around like any other creature#he would a) be much happier in life and b) achieve the ascension he's been gunning for for millennia like all the slugcats did#but he never will.#getting rid of all his work on the problem or even his awareness of it entirely#would just be a trick of convenience that steals away his godhood#and him calling himself godlike is kind of a cope LOL#a cope being faced with a problem he was never meant to solve#a cope being faced with what he did to moon#a cope being faced with the rot inside him#oh well.#anyway fuck 5 pebbles i hate that guy#rain world#rain world fanart#rw five pebbles#rain world five pebbles#rw gourmand#rain world gourmand#five pebbles#rain world void worm#rain world ancients#also JUST KIDDING ilu 5p. you suck but i💛u

I can't express how much I love the cafe scene. You see a really wide range of Lucanis' face animations and the cool things he expresses through them. Like, one moment, he's a shiny-eyed baby cow and the next his pupils are small, dark, and threatening. I would love to know *how* they did that. I'm not an animator, so it just looks like magic.
Too many screenshots under the cut.














#datv#i was nervous about posting this because i realize how unhinged taking.........100 screenshots of 1 scene is#but i do truly love the work the animators put into his face!!#i think he's one of the most expressive companions#Neve being up there as well in terms of range and communication through her face#he's just like#perfect for me?#like his overall very consistent design#he's a crow#he's a bird#feathery hair and narrow eyes#HE'S SO CUTE#when illario asks Rook to reason with him about being 'paranoid'#lucanis looks to Rook with a hint of anxiety that they will also fall for illario's gaslighting nonsense#datv spoilers#veilguard#virtual photography#dragon age screenshots#dragon age veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#rookanis#lucanis#lucanis dragon age

Thinking about Dorian immediately shutting down after Orym snapped at him. Thinking about earlier in the episode Dorian revealing that his father was often hypercritical of Dorian and his actions. Thinking about Robbie saying Dorian is a master compartmentaliser and always has been.
#critcal role#cr spoliers#dorian storm#hes just like me fr#dorian learning that his opinions don't matter#thus shutting down at the slightest hint of conflict#being unable to express his true emotions due to his coping mechanism#god i love him#more dorian backstory please 🙏🏾

jotting down an idea before i forget it
#putting more elaborate thoughts in the notes#for one i dont want the differences to be so extreme that its absurd nobody notices theyre someone else. just that theyre off#theyre slightly less expressive. they talk more clearly#noelle describes their voice as mumbly so i think id express that by having all their dialogue in lowercase#idk why i color normal kris' speech bubbles i just like it#anyways. i think the two main differences between normal vs possessed kris would be#1) word choice + clarity and 2) movement#i see in fics a lot that kris would be a bit clumsier when possessed and i like that idea. i also like the idea theyre very stiff#thats sort of present in game although its ambigous whether or not thats bc theyre just weaker w/out the soul. which is probably it#but i like the idea that kris normally slouches a lot and walks very quietly and can accidentally sneak up on people easily w/out trying#kris has scoliosis. to me. /silly#anyways. i also think when they talk they tend to say things in the least amount of words possible and say nothing at all when allowed#wheras the soul cant do those physical gestures so it answers verbally more#which isnt. so big itd be immediately noticeable but it is off#again this is hinted in game w noelles dialogue in ch1 but yknow#anyways thats it thats kris thoughts#doodles#kris dreemurr#player#deltarune

Wait Merchant you're latino as well? So cool! :D
I am :P my parents immigrated to the country we live in now in the 90s. English is my second language, my parents taught me our mother tongue first (my mom was actually worried I would struggle in school because of it lol. They had a hard time teaching me English because they themselves weren't great at it at the time. I did just fine because I learned English watching cartoons 😂 thank you SpongeBob, I'll forever be in your debt). I've lived my life both here and in our homeland. I visit when I can since most of the family is still back home and I miss them a lot (it gets really lonely here sometimes. All I have for family is my SO and my parents). Unfortunately, it's a long and often very expensive trip lol. But I try
#i don't want to say exactly what I am... I'm not Mexican I'm something else. there's your one hint#maybe someday I'll reveal what it is... whenever I learn to draw better haha#there are drawings/comics/animatics I hope to one day make using music from our country so that would give me away on the spot#as imperfect as that place. i really miss it. i miss my family. as imperfect as they are too#things have really gone downhill in recent years over there. i worry about my family's safety a lot. our government is worthless#i also often miss speaking to people in my mother tongue. i like English but there are things I want to say but can't in English#our language is a very vibrant and expressive one. there are so many fun sayings I want to say but can't#because there's no English equivalent and direct translations make them sound like gobbledygook#my SO is also Latino but he speaks a different language than me so I can't speak mine to him either. just my parents#i miss the food there too. we got the best food dude. i heart my people's cuisine above all others'#i could really go for a certain something right now... if I was there then I could just walk down to the corner bakery and get it. sigh#at least some of the ingredients from there exist here too i guess. some of them#merchant asks

actually obsessed with this. this will feed me for the next six months. he looks sooooo smug and at ease with the red puppets. they could be choking him and he doesn't care, because he knows they won't if he doesn't want them to. also, this is much more interesting to me than the cult vibes in manipulator. in manipulator, there is a distance or detachment with liu xiao's puppeteering. but with this one... there's something about how the puppets are so intimately touching him and you don't know if it's out of reverence or malice, yet they are all faceless and featureless puppets at the end. the blase expression on liu xiao'a face regardless. wine turning to blood and soaking the flowers. turning this in my head over and over.
#mine musings#lx notes#honestly i have nothing substantial to say#no meta or anything. i just like liu xiao lol#they need to give me a hint of ltc soon though. WHERE IS MY BOY#also i like the ambiguity but i kindaaaa wish thr puppets ARE moving with malice and not reverence#because it makes lx's expression 10x more off-putting#liveblogginh link click#link click

I think a much more interesting question than 'does the player character in ultrakill (v1) have emotions/emotional depth' is 'does the player character in hollow Knight (the knight/ghost/etc.) have emotions/emotional depth'
Like imo the reason the hollow knight didn't work as a living seal was bc it wasn't actually hollow and had feelings, and the king was wrong about calling it a perfectly empty vessel. Is the same true for the player yk?
#i feel like its easily mixed. on one hand it can't really do much at all to express anything that isn't just projection from the player#on the other hand the pale king is an idiot loser who was wrong about almost everything mabye the void stuff isnt so voidy after all#hollow knight#also in the ending where you take its place as the vessel your mask also cracks#potentially hinting that you are also 'imperfect'

This is something I’ve been curious about since I first stumbled down this rabbit hole and was trying to puzzle out if I thought Taylor really would fake relationships (this was in late 2017, so with joe) and one of the things I couldn’t understand was how people could so easily believe that after what happened in 2016 (breakup of her longest relationship to date, rebound with Tom, cancellation that apparently made her suicidal, her friends suddenly showing themselves to be traitors) that she could not just fall in love with joe but absolutely trust him unquestionably enough o write New Years Day 3 months in. And it wasn’t just NYD, but a lot of songs she wrote in fall 2016 that had a forevermore feel to them (is this the end of all the endings, trust him like a brother.) I simply chalked it up to people being a bit young and rooting for love and not really thinking, and them only knowing Taylor as this over-dramatic lover of love. But now seeing it happen again almost exactly the same (betrayal by her father figure business partner, betrayal by the man she though for sure that she’d marry, betrayal by the man she thought was the man who got away who also made marriage promises) and within weeks she has now fallen in love with another man who so so perfect for her that she would just trust him like a brother and fall into the marriage promises AGAIN. And not only that people will believe it, because yeah, she knows her audience, but also that people don’t side-eye this and say “you know what Taylor, maybe it’s time for you to be single for 5 minutes and just like, think about why you keep falling for these men that can’t give you what you want and work on yourself and your constant need to be hopelessly and forevermore in love all the time. Maybe there’s a different issue here?” Like. They think they are her friends, and this is what friends do for each other. I would be so worried about her getting into something YET AGAIN that seems too good to be true. But instead (because they aren’t her friends, they are her audience, enjoying the romcom entertainment of it all) they cheer it on.
Without a second thought. Without really a first good thought either.
Anyway, as always, fascinated by the insight into human nature of it all.
#at some point surely one would say ���you know what? She’s has really bad judgement on BFs and friends. I’m gonna sit this one out’#update I just saw someone who DID express this attitude of basically maybe she just has bad judgement I’m gonna sit this one out#and then they were attacked by swifties and called vipers in empaths clothes#so now I wonder how many swifties feel this way but are afraid to say anything#swifties being awful per usual#I want to be clear that I’m not talking about people creating petitions for them to break up#or even just griping about the relationship online all day#I mean sit it out as in don’t get so invested and constantly stalk them and celebrate every tiny hint at their relationship

so as I'm sure y'all remember, I went insane when I found the montage of unreleased footage from the Gladiator DVD. I'm planning to do a full breakdown of all the new footage I discovered in there, but I just couldn't wait to share these because they are SO INTERESTING to me. it's like a four second clip of Maximus in his tent in Germania, featuring him doing something where he's shuffling some nutshells around
is he not just the cutest thing <3
but like??? I am so curious about what he's doing!!! it's probably a strategy technique, like him using the nutshells to represent different sections of his army and planning their attack. if not, maybe it's some kind of Roman version of solitaire?? I mean he's been on the road for years at this point, and how adorable would it be if this is his little nighttime unraveling technique, like a crossword puzzle or smth??
idk I just was awestruck by this little moment and wanted to share :)
#look at my precious husband#his sweet face his sweet adorable precious face!!!!!#i'm obsessed with the concentrated expression with the tiniest hint of amusement#i have to think this takes place after the battle of germania#since he's not in his tent until afterward#unless?? this was an alternate opening / intro to maximus???#maybe we were originally going to meet the general while he's scheming the attack in his tent???#i don't even care#i'm just SO INSANELY EXCITED TO HAVE A TINY SCRAP OF NEW FOOTAGE OF MY BELOVED#it's a 25 year old movie and i thought i had seen every crumb of maximus content in existence#and then HERE HE IS#there are quite a few extra shots that i will share very soon#i just couldn't resist showing these first hehe#imagine playing a little strategy game with him before bed#all cozy in your shared tent just enjoying spending time together#imagine how precious it would be <3#he's so soft here#so sweet and cozy and intent#i NEED HIM#i love him SO MUCH#gladiator#maximus#maximus decimus meridius#gladiator 2000#russell crowe#low quality screencaps of a high quality man

They are not in-frame but I hope you are ready to catch those hands.
So I was observing Juno's 1st phase battle for the 69,000th time and noticed he does make a few interesting movements with his arms, and I'm upset that I ran out of room in my current page to draw it out. Well maybe I'll give it a try in some of the tiny corners but until then, this was the only decent shot I managed for the day.
#I'm particularly upset about this because my brain was telling me 'no juno would never do this it's too silly'#and in the end he actually does it#so really#I should be happy because aww he would do this with his arms (it's a little flick of his hands that I thought would be cute)#but even with this as a close-up shot it was yet another pose I wasn't sure he'd do but he did so yay I learned something new :D#SPEAKING OF LEARNING#I found the JP cutscenes and ran through them a few times#and it turns out juno does in fact refer to volnutt with the -sama honorific in legends as well#additionally it's very interesting to hear how different he sounds#jp juno is so much more 'cheery' if that's the right term#he definitely sounds like a text to speech person#and then one of his 2nd form lines have a hint of restraint to them (like teetering on 'I am going to lose it with you :))) ')#compared to his purely angry eng lines#and that better explains that 3rd expression he has in nxc#all that said I'm much more fond of his eng voice#something about the stilted dubbing works out with his character#and comes off more machine-like (and sweet and soft like his face)#not that I have issue with the jp voice it's just interesting to think about o'course ^^#it's like he's speaking in different font sizes or something#okay that's enough chalkboard talking for now#I'm just very happy with the things I learned today ( b“ v”)b#doodle-daas#megaman legends#rockman dash#megaman juno#rockman juno

i am predicting that sunday will be a nihility character to contrast robin's harmony (hoyo PLEASEEE make him a dot buffer 🙏 i really want him but if he won't synergize well with kafka then i fear i'll have to skip...)
honestly at this point i just want sunday to be drip marketed and released and in my account 😭😭 like i will be pulling him and his lc no matter what his synergy with the charas in my account are bc i need him. carnally. and desperately.
#omg a convo !?#nonnies !!#may this journey lead us starward <3#but omg him being nihility to contrast robin....#im just super curious as to how he will be when we next see him bc he was confined but then freed?? i think??#and now its basically up to him to choose his own path so that could majorly affect his path#originally i thought he was going to be erudition but now i feel like it could be anything depending on how he goes abt it#like stellaron hunter sunday would be cool.... but then again him joining the express..... i want that....#mainly bc they have been hinting about another member joining in the future to make the crew 8 members#read: when tb was talking about wishing we had another ae member to play to games of celestial jade since we had 7 not 8#and so what IF sunday is that 8th member and his initiation is playing celestial jade bc we said so#also i think it would be so so nice for his character growth to see diff worlds with us and experience the independence humans#have within them to make peace and forge their own life as opposed to how he was forced to believe humans/everyone else#were inherently weak and needed that protection and shelter; smth gopher wood told him he could provide and be their salvation#but yes astral express crew member sunday who finds the warp jumps so baffling and he stumbles and falls and wonders how he got here#and then he watches march fail miserably in trying to stay balanced#and then he somehow finds himself growing fonder and fonder for humanity and its inhabitants and discovers his own resolve#through likeminded individuals and has this massive growth and development arc and oiulrjtlg
