oh yeah i got onto to tumblr to post art hi

enjoy okay bye

I have no opinion on Megamind 2. It's an interesting concept, sure, but just that- a concept. I think it could be cool if done right but alas, it will go on the same shelf as a potential sequel to Pacific Rim. Merely a thought experiment and nothing more.

Hey... I said that... what the hell is goin' on?

[cherrysnax]

i feel like I’m gonna be in a sticky situation with our comic and art I do in general because I draw on my bed on my stomach lmao

like I have a stand which has helped a lot but I feel like I’m always gonna be at a slight disadvantage.. but fuck it we ball

I don't know what the whole "modern Arc.ana" thing that the game keeps promoting is all about (and the affectionate/flirty Jul.ian-As.ra art in the promos is NOT making me want to find out) but whatever the game and the devs and the promos are trying to say or imply, they've got it all wrong. Jul.ian's dating me, you goofs!! We are the local cute queer goth power couple that everyone thinks is cool and secretly envies because they wish they had what we do. The man's only got eyes for me. Hope this clears things up! 💕

Funnest part of Septimus Heap is that it's technically Post-Apocalyptic, but no one talks about that because it's looped back into being a standard fantasy adventure. But like, they have what's obviously an elevator or a submarine, or they mention a rocket ship and genetic engineering so some people have gills, and they talk about how it's a lost technology that fell ages ago, so. It's Post Apocalyptic, baybee! Something happened, maybe society restarted and we're back in the Middle Ages or whatever, but it's definitely something that takes place in the future! And I think that's very neat.

fine i guess i will join the scrum if seirian is going to play neoptolemus on this random august friday evening

i honestly have no idea how i'm going to carry out conversations when i can no longer fall back on "who are you following tonight?" to keep things moving, but i have enjoyed this week's conversational variant, "will you be joining the scrum or are you going anywhere but?"

jumps into ur ask box hello. hi. what are ur ng+ time loop thoughtz

god i have. a lot of thoughts about ng+ time loops in general. in relation to this post tho i specifically have Some Thoughts about Akira going through the loops trying to figure out why he's stuck there, how to get out, etc and also having to contend with Akechi dying every time but also like…the inevitable emotional cycles that come with watching the same guy die over and over.

✧ "Who is more unlucky here? The one who will die every time but never remember? Or the one who will live every time and always remember?" –> "Me. I'm the more unlucky one. What's this dude's fucking problem" –> "What's MY fucking problem? Why does this keep happening to me? Why doesn't anyone else remember? Why can't I escape this? Why does Akechi have to die every time??" –> "What's this dude's FUCKING problem–"

✧ does it count as a parasocial relationship if you know the guy irl and also it's based on the weird sense of kinship that comes with being doomed to repeatedly live through the same year over and over while he's doomed to die every time. hand in hand they are BOTH doomed baybee

✧ You know how Akechi is often portrayed as having Death Note-esque internal monologues when interacting with Akira? That but Akira is having his own wildly different internal monologue that sounds a lot like "okay you shit idiot. what's it gonna take to keep you from dying"

✧ The rest of the Thieves are surprised when Akira doesn't seem to react to Akechi's death, but they figure he's trying to keep it together for the sake of the mission. Truly tho Akira is mentally cussing Akechi out and lamenting the fact they're gonna have to fight god again soon. rip lawboy you would've loved fighting ol' yaldy

✧ Futaba hacks Akira's phone (for enrichment) and sees his most recent google search "is it bad to stop feeling bad after the 15th time you watch the same person die or are you allowed to start getting annoyed about it" – maybe he's going through something similar to what she went through w/ her mom? She starts prodding him about his past, but it doesn't really get her anywhere…

(If u want to get even more into Game-Based Reality Nonsense u could even say that Futaba can't find anything on Akira aside from his criminal record. No hospital records, no school info, no nothing. It's like the guy didn't even exist before the day he got arrested. Akira might not have any answers either, which, u know, doesn't help with the mental strain caused by being stuck in a time loop. Does he even exist outside of the loop? If the loop ended, would he disappear with it? etc etc)

✧ At the beginning of each loop, Akira makes a list of things that might break the time loop, updating it as needed. "Akechi survives" is at the top of the list every time bc it's one of the only things that never happens.

✧ Akira just generally having a slightly shorter temper w/ Akechi bc truly. How do u go through this sort of ordeal w/o wanting to rattle him like a maraca after a point. He won't hesitate to call Akechi cringe when the guy leans too heavily on his Pleasant Lawboy™ persona.

They wind up sparring in Mementos more frequently bc this Akira is more willing to entertain Akechi's bloodlust; fighting is a good outlet for Akira's own frustrations. Akechi keeps getting more and more annoyed each time tho bc why tf can this attic trash keep up with him? How is he predicting Akechi's attacks so well? (Akechi's going to start spitting fire if he ever finds out Akira has been holding back during their fights lmao. Akira can easily trounce him in 1v1 since like…3 loops ago?)

✧ Akira spending so much time annoyed and even furious w/ Akechi for not having enough self-preservation to survive even one loop only to ultimately circle right back into The Guilt + Sorrow bc god, all this time and he still can't figure out how to keep this fuckhead alive?

And it IS guilt Akira feels, unfortunately. Makoto and Futaba were both antagonistic towards the Phantom Thieves at first, too. Just spending some time with them was enough to reveal how getting screwed over by adults guided their actions; it doesn't absolve them of threatening the group, but it makes them easier to forgive.

Akira wonders, sometimes, if he's too quick to forgive Akechi. He's killed people, and he claims to be perfectly okay with being a murderer so long as it means he can reach his goals. But Akechi is a liar all the way down, too, because a cold-hearted killer wouldn't sacrifice himself for his enemies. He wouldn't give up his only shot at vengeance so easily after going through years of hell to achieve it. Yet Akechi still dies in that boiler room every time. Akechi never truly hates Akira, and Akira can't quite bring himself to ever truly hate Akechi, either.

But then Akira sees Akechi alive and well and smiling for the camera in the next loop, and he gets the abrupt urge to lay the guy out.

✧ "I want you to live. I also never want to see you again."

✧ And all of this is w/o getting into P5R's third semester hijinks. Akira thinking he's finally escaped the time loop only to realize that something Worse is happening now.

And Akechi is still there, because of fucking course he is–

Smoke Break - A Pressure One Shot

Rated General (no tw/cw apply)

Tags: Reader Perspective, AU, Sebastian is just a wee bit depressed, taking advantage of the fact he smokes tobacco

Despite the name, the EXR-P divisions were anything but what they were meant to be: expendable. Blood transfusions, defibrillators, and resuscitative measures were used to ensure that prisoners wouldn’t just kill themselves to get out of a prison sentence. Instead, they had 2 choices: actually complete the objective of collecting the crystal and escaping with their lives, or be forced to loop endlessly in futile struggle. You wanted to do the former, but luck wasn’t on your side, so the latter ended up being your new purgatory. 

On your current “run,” you decided to go solo, as your previous group was too cowardly to go anywhere beyond the starting dock. While the solace was eerie, it was nice to be alone for once. However, that didn’t mean you were fully alone, of course. 

You had just reached the next door after an Eyefestation. As your head cleared, you looked up at the red navpath behind you. Fifty two. Ugh. You looked around for loose assets as usual, picking up folders until you heard something other than the jingling of key rings with USBs and manila folders with proprietary information. A clicking noise could be heard throughout the room. What could it be? A Wall Dweller making a hunting call? A collective Good People chittering as it awaited fresh meat?

You couldn’t quite pinpoint the sound until the faint clicking preceded a loud bang and a frustrated grumble. It sounded like it was coming from a distant room, so you continued onward. Fifty three, fifty four, fifty five, fifty six…

By the sixty-fourth room, you wondered if the noise was just a figment of your imagination. 

Then it was right next to you. 

A soft click sounded next to you, on your left. You only heard it once, followed by a deep inhale and exhale…Was someone smoking? You could smell the sour tobacco seeping out through the door. Smelled like a Chainsmoker, but softer, less pungent. 

You slowly opened the door. 

The wave of cigarette smoke hit you like a train. You coughed and attempted to regain your senses as you turned on your lantern to see. 

“No no no, allow me.” A figure stood out against the smoke and weak lantern light. It seemed to fill the entire room. From what you could make out, it reached up toward its head and pulled at one of its appendages to illuminate itself, reminding you of an old lamp. 

“What brings you here, prisoner?” It took a big huff from its cigarette. Two empty packs laid on a desk in front of him, with a third halfway done. Its voice rasped from the cig binge, and it tilted its head curiously as it awaited a response. 

“Just doin my job, big guy. What are you, and how did you get here?” And why do you have so many cigarettes, you added mentally. 

It chuckled and uncurled its long, serpentine tail that it rested over, smudging the butt on the desk in a divot made from being burnt. 

“My name is Sebastian, and I was like you once. I was imprisoned under Urbanshade, and so I was subjected to whatever nefarious programs they had on the docket. The wheel landed on experimentation when I was being looked over, so they decided to attempt at giving me gills. It worked, but look at me,” it gestured dejectedly to its body, “I became this monster. I got so angry that I practically murdered the whole research team and fled down here. Now I just sit here and think about life and how to maybe go back up to the surface to have a normal one.”

As it had been talking, you had taken a seat beside it, the creature towering over you menacingly. While it didn’t attempt or appear to be threatening, you kept yourself on high alert. That is, until it made a proposition. 

“Care for a smoke?”

OUGHHG FIRST PIECE OF PRESSURE FANFIC BAYBEE also these lovely dividers are by cafekitsune on tumblr! :3 i was drawing a pic of sebby in the gabe dress and it reminded me of a flapper so i gave him the long...cigarette...holder...thingie- ANYWAY here's the gist of it:

[deltaruminations]

chapter 3 secret boss concept because why not. cassette tape under asriel’s bed or VHS taping of a music video from like MTV or whatever.

if memoryhead has any value for prediction (BIG “if”) and is moving clockwise from jevil face (also big assumption based on very little data), then the next SB is represented by this face, which looks vaguely like it could be modeled after an analogue tape if you squint hard enough lol

thematic relationship to abandonment: outmoding of both analogue formats and popular musical styles

individual “freedom” conflict: the tape can only play what’s already on it, over and over; can’t produce anything new. basically a one-hit-wonder trying but unable to recreate their prior success. just remixing their one big hit over and over until it loses any real meaning

thematic relationship to kris: entrapment via endless looping. also maybe something about limitations in “voice”/self-expression

manifestation: washed-up pop singer, 80s/90s aesthetic. good opportunity for a first secret girlboss perhaps? let’s call her “casey” lol. runny mascara for the “gaster eyes” motif. we initially meet her as she works for peanuts as a sound tech across the various TV show sets

speech quirk: sings/rhymes everything. alternatively maybe she can only form sentences out of the lyrics from her song. that would be hard to execute probably but it’s a fun idea

soul mode: purple. fucked up nightmare rhythm game time baybee. rewind and fast-forward mechanics

carnival attraction: soundstage. maybe more of a “music festival” vibe than traveling carnival or county fair

armor given: hair ribbon or maybe fist wraps made of magnetic tape. gives the trait “write protection”

weapon given: no idea LOL i feel like it needs to be a sword of some kind for kris. uhhh. MakhairaPhone (“This outdated blade makes a statement — a LOUD one.”). WalkmanZashi. idk lol

[shirogane-oushirou]

suffering. my selfshipping brain is split into "oh yeah i have a crush on this character and i can work myself into canon somehow. 👍🏻 time to selfship baybee!" and "oh no i have a crush on this character but this story feels like such a closed loop that i wouldn't dare disturb it. 👎🏻 time to compartmentalize this crush until it minimizes or disappears!"

anyway. d.arcy m.isericorde and s.kadi the corrupting heart a.rknights call me.

^ the silly 1 (cook and gardener at the convent. she is so tired and maybe a bit of a suspicious character within a 15th century nun yuri murder mystery. is she a murderer? man idk only 1/3 of the story's been released KJASNDKJ she's so funnyyyyyyy though.)

^ the silly 2 (a bounty hunter, painfully biologically engineered specifically to have the abilities to fight a massive underwater hivemind that has threatened to kill all life on the planet, now taken over by said hivemind and destined to bring about the apocalypse. She's Neat! i've been interested in hivemind characters for a long time for Personal Reasons, so hearing her story was like. oh. grips you.)

[sunshineandtoasting]

This post is strictly for me organizing the tags on my blog. A directory, of sorts. Please don't mind and keep scrolling!

#reblogus files - misc posts. The majority of my stuff will be tagged w this

#Feels good man - Any post that makes me smile or feel soft. For cheering up!

#for banana baby - posts to show someone specifically

#for froot - same purpose as the other one, but for a different person

#pretty - aesthetically beautiful things!

#ocean - where the sea stuff goes

#poetry - can also be tagged #poem in the beginning, for pretty words that make me think or feel

#video - self explanatory

#mememesmerizing - Videos you can watch on loop to help zone out

#tumblr lore - stuff that I've seen on this website for so long, it's practically cultural knowledge at this point

#character analysis my beloved - for when people just manage to peel back and figure out what makes a character tick. It's so interesting!!

#good advice actually - for good bits of advice, be they artistic, realistic, or fantastic

#for future reference - its reference time, baybee!!

#get stupid answers - from the saying "ask stupid questions, get stupid answers". For when people ask me stuff

#ramblings of a sun - me going on personal tangents. You can ignore this for the most part

All fandoms will have their fandom tagged! If not, then the characters themselves will be tagged (unless it's dungeon meshi, in which case it's only ever tagged as #dungeon meshi). Some crossovers have tags, but they're my-blog specific as so as not to clutter the actual fandom tags for separate fandoms

#danny in dc - for Danny Phantom x DC Comics crossovers. Typically batman flavored but not always!

I try to tag every ship (and fandoms even if I'm not in them)

This post may be updated as more tags are added, or as I remember them, because it's always good to have a directory
