“…he’s only really able to live in my vessel… I didn’t want to keep him trapped there anymore.”

-Axel stares at the now dead Gregory. She would look to the head of her own vessel/corpse-

“…our creator.. he’d sometimes not like to deal with his own actions… and he’d reset you or any other watforges… I beg and begged for him not to… but he’d make them forget his actions…… when you don’t want to deal with people, you make sure they’ll never forget it how you rid them. No matter how much they beg…. You and him are the same… maybe I’ll be the same…”

-They crush their vessel’s head with their foot-

-AX-3L

I’m aware of what he did. Not fully clearly. But I know

(Roll to keep control of the vessel)

It’s often that we become like our creators that doesn’t mean it’s bound to happen

What are you doing axel

[dykedvonte]

I think it says something that you got to see everyone’s dead body and were forced to be a participant to Curly’s torture at the hands of Jimmy but we don’t get to see him dead.

You don’t get to see the satisfaction of seeing the true cause of all the pain everyone went through get a single consequence and it’s so hollow. You don’t get a panning shot of his body, you don’t get splatter to show you it was messy. It just happens and then you’re just left there with all the remnants of what happened and unable to do anything because it’s over. It’s done and you don’t get to do anything about. It’s how Curly feels about what he didn’t do. It’s how you feel as you pilot Jimmy and can do nothing to stop him.

It’s how those affected by people like Jimmy feel after it’s all done. Seen some sort of due process or justice after every painful little thing. It doesn’t feel like enough after every, cause maybe it wasn’t enough. Or rather, it wasn’t done soon enough.

Scar’s Secret life ep 4 has to be my favorite ep of all his Life series 😭 him doing the oposite of what he’s told was such a banger task

[chipistrate]

The Deadly Six and Lost World as a whole would translate so well into a Boom special and no one talks about it

being told by the dentist that i have “severe tongue tie” after 26 years with an obvious speech impediment that i was literally in speech therapy for and after seeing dentists and orthodontists my entire adolescence and after struggling to speak and be understood in every conversation every day of my life is wild like this has affected every aspect of my life and it could’ve and should’ve been fixed when i was a baby. all this it’s also likely had an impact on my posture, breathing, sleep. it’s probably part of the reason my teeth grew in so incorrectly that i needed to have 12 of them pulled and then had to have braces for 3 years. i have been infantilized and mocked and disregarded because of the way that i speak my entire life. i just accepted the fact that i’d never be able to speak without constant mental and physical effort and that effort isn’t even enough to be consistently understood. it made working customer service even more hellish than it had to be. it’s made me hate listening to myself talk because i can hear how hard i’m trying. and i just had to be used to it. i just had to deal with it and try harder and spell out my name so people could understand and practice talking with a pen in my mouth to overcompensate.

i have said so many times that i feel like my tongue is too big for my mouth and i had no idea that was both literally true and something that could be treated. it’s literally called “tongue tie” and i heard those words and suddenly 26 years of active struggle made a lot more sense. and i’m so angry. i’m so fucking mad because it didn’t have to be like this. like i can’t stop thinking about all the times i have stayed out of conversations, all the times i’ve had to repeat myself over and over, all the times people mocked the way i said my Rs and Ls. something so “small” has affected every area of my life and i thought it was MY fault for not working hard enough to grow out of it. and as glad as i want to be about the fact that i’ll be able to get it treated now, i am so so sad and angry for my past self who had no idea why they couldn’t talk like everyone else, why they couldn’t grow out of speech problems, why they couldn’t say their own name.

i think it’s part of why i’ve had to rely so heavily on the written word to communicate my thoughts and feelings. once i wrote a poem that ended with the words “this is the only way i know how to speak” and i meant it literally.

part of me wants to think this isn’t that big of a deal and that it wouldn’t have made that much of a difference in how i was treated (especially by my peers). but like. it is. it’s massive. it’s not everything, but it’s been part of everything. and i had just accepted that it always would be. it won’t be as easy to change it now than it would’ve been if it had been taken care of when i was a child. if one thing had been different, would everything be different today? i don’t know. i’ll never know.

Technically the Richmond coaches had two chances to move Jamie to center and then didn’t take it: once when Zava showed up and once when they switched everyone at practice.

Both times they assumed he wouldn’t do it

At the very least we know he was willing to do it the second time (he even asked if they meant to give him the same position), but honestly? The Jamie who came to them worried about the effect of Zava on the team might’ve done it too. He is well on board with being a team player at that point, which he also demonstrated many times in season two. He probably would’ve been hurt by it, but he would’ve agreed to do it

(Then we could’ve had a whole season deconstructing how Jamie conflates scoring with winning with value in a way that really isn’t healthy but I digress)

For the record I don’t think this would have fixed anything. They probably would’ve figured out how effective Jamie is in midfield sooner, but they still would’ve had Zava, and after Zava there would’ve been the tension of whether to keep Jamie where he was or have him step back up to striker, especially since they weren’t doing total football yet. In a lot of ways, having Jamie step up and volunteer for it later really sidesteps a lot of drama

I’m more so lamenting the fact that with Jamie, when it came to ‘be curious not judgmental, they chose to remain judgmental of his past behavior instead of curious about his new ones.

Fyodor’s little stretch…!

My thoughts? Honestly, it’s a bit of a nothing chapter (I say as I don’t know what any of the dialogue is but I know it’s just going to be Fyodor explaining more space-dimensional bullshit manga logic). It is exciting to have Fukuzawa face off against Fyodor, but Asagiri pulls this SO often man, where it’s like “A new challenger enters the ring” every chapter and multiple times per fight.

And this fight really should’ve been Akutagawa’s time to shine. I know he’s going to get back up, but man.

If I may, how do you typically approach choosing colors in your art? It always has just a lovely feel to it, so I was a bit curious; don't feel pressured to answer ofc :]

I’ve been using a lot of gradient maps lately, they work by switching the greys in your piece with a corresponding colour according to its value. Basically, I colour in black and white, grab a gradient map, and then I adjust the colours by hand until I’m happy with it. This isn’t the only kind of colouring I do, but it works great if you’re in a rush or you’re struggling to find a good starting point for your colours. I’ve been operating under a time crunch for these Sketchbook Week drawings and the Plenism promo stuff I made, so for all except one I used gradient maps. I’m actually in a bit of a funk with my colours right now soooo I’ll come back and do a proper colouring tutorial for my style once I’m happier with how my non gradient mapped colours are looking !

I’m thinking about that one uquiz about what emotion you create from

I got discontent as a result, and I’m not sure how to feel about the fact that I understand more & more why I got it as the days go by
