I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.
And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.
#i saw the tv glow#I saw the tv glow spoilers#it is SUCH a queer story#the disassociation. the hiding in fiction to feel alive.#the horror of watching time tick by and knowing you’re not who you’re meant to be#the unique paralysis of staying put in hell because it’s safer than what might be over the horizon#the tragedy of trying to help someone who isn’t ready to be helped#god it’s so much. god. rarely do I walk out of a film and just stare soundlessly into space#anyway. please see this movie. although I sort of hope if you’re reading this post it’s cuz you already have#eta: I used he because the main character never quite vocalizes another pronoun#but this is SUCH a trans story. suuuuch a trans story. it is not even a little subtle#it’s so good and so so painful

Sublime Equine.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#little apple#Did I *need* to dedicate a whole comic to little apple when I'm trying to economize my scenes?#Well! I did start this whole blog with the dreams of one day being able to draw better equines. So Yes. I did need this.#The true benchmark of my art progress is actually the quality of how I draw Little Apple.#(no seriously go look back at my little apple tag. Then come back here).#Hey welcome back! I know right! What was I even doing at the start? That was *not* a donkey!!!#That aside - I really am thrilled that I can draw her more. Even if she's only *really* in two more comics for season 2.#I wish I had more thoughts here. I'm so distracted by the donkey rotating in my brain. I missed her so monch.#Oh! Yeah I really like the parallels here between WWX and Little apple.#Specifically the sense of how we get a nod to how he's changed.#Little apple and WWX have both grown a little less lean and hungry (one literally the other metaphorically)#This whole episode is basically about WWX's desire for something peaceful and domestic in his life.#and here is little apple - his first companion from the start of his new life - changed to something softer.#Very much a 'look how far we have come moment' that is rather subtle but enjoyable.

hello. hello. has anyone else seen this
#like fucking HELLO#my friend sent this to me and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since#i need to be euthanized i fear#like they could at least TRY to be a little more subtle like whatever happened to couth#jolyon palmer saying there was something fruity going on with kmag#when he should’ve directed that towards these two and lando jesus christ#these two acting like love birds while lando is on the verge of never being heard from ever again#checks out tbh#max verstappen#oscar piastri#formula 1

I redrew rambs sprites is there a power strip emoji
🔌 does this count

The descriptions I gave each expression are what they're called in the files :]
Like and subscribe if you'd shed a tear for a bloke who does fuck all
#deltarune#deltarune ramb#ramb deltarune#ramb#deltarune chapter 3#im not a butt chin truther im a butt chin accepter#he still has a stubble goatee thing tho look at his sideways sprites#guess my favorite character challenge#im torn between believing he'll be relevant in the theoretical post-full release 'new-game-plus'#or what he was in chapter 3 is what he's supposed to be and changing that would be a disservice to what the chapter was trying to tell us#cus on one hand during the entire chapter we've been waiting on the knights arrival without knowing that#maybe in the 'retake' of this chapter ramb does get a shadow crystal and does become the secret boss#cus if the knight wasn't late we wouldn't have fought them and there wouldn't be a secret boss#BUT ramb was SUPPOSED to be a misdirection. he ticked all the boxes of a secret boss without being one ON PURPOSE!#cus this chapter was subverting our expectations of deltarunes 'formula'#and if ramb came back in new game plus and undid his part in that it would take away from it#BUT THEN??? WHY???? DID WE NEED TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT HIM???? WHY??? DID HE GET THIS ↑↑↑ MANY EXPRESSIONS?? WHY ARE THEY SO SUBTLE???????#ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CARE ABOUT HIM AND LOOK INTO WHAT HIS DEAL IS OR NOT????#WAS IT ALL A MISDIRECTION OR WERE PARTS OF IT ACTUALLY A SET UP FOR NEW GAME PLUS??????#idk. but i do know that i love that little prick#i should just write an actual post about him instead of screaming in the tags sgsjgdjd#oh and btw I don't actually think the pippins hate him lol. i think everyone is indifferent towards him until he makes himself known#then it turns to annoyance#anyways if you're reading this i hope youre doing well 🩷🩷 take it easy :]]

"Heavens, he doesn't understand again." "Every time he says 'I don't understand', Lui-shixiong grabs someone to demonstrate until he understands..." Ji Jue quietly complained to Shang Qinghua. No wonder the injuries at Bai Zhan Peak had only increased!
so this is obviously Liu Qingge's entire love language, right?
#svsss#liushen#liu qingge#shen qingqiu#shang qinghua#lqg#sqq#sqh#this scene was a work of art#shen ''tactical peak lord'' qingqiu is here a) farming friendship points b) improving his cultivation and#c) getting back at the bai zhan disciples for bullying *his* disciples in a very subtle way#meanwhile liu qingge is presumably twirling his hair and blushing because shixiong in seeking him out for intentional sparring practice#and rather than getting upset or bitchy about losing hes intentionally stopping and asking for lqg's expertise and opinion? lqg is SWOONING#these poor disciples but also this is the cutest scene and i really really love it#like okay i actually am understanding why lqg acts the way he does around sqq in the rest of the series now#meanwhile sqh is trying to figure out if Scum Villain Shen Qingqiu has a) lost all his memories or is b) Plotting Something Sinister#cause that's the only thing that makes any fucking sense here#my art

Couldn't resist also doing the 2nd place option in this poll :3c
[ID: A Scum Villain Drawing. Courtesan! Shen Yuan, dressed in flower printed light blue robes, with a teal shawl and a Qing Jing green ribbon tied around his waist, sits next to Disciple! Shen Jiu. SY has long wavy brown hair, that is primarily loose but has some tied up in loops behind his head. He has red eyeliner below his eyes and a flower painted on his forehead. He has a closed eyed nervous but endeared smile as one of his hands rests on his lap whilst the other is being held up SJ's hands. SJ looks at SY with a determined flushed look as he has SY's hand clasped between his own. He wears Qing Jing disciple robes with his hair pulled back into a braid. Both SY and SJ are about 18-19 years old at this point. SJ says "Come to Qing Jing with me." to which SY replies "A'Jiu..." End ID]
#svsss#scum villain#shen yuan#shen jiu#jiuyuan#scumcum#mxtx#svsss au#courtesan!sy#myart#sy is trying Not to die by joining CQM but at the same time its hard to keep denying his a'jiu#SJ gifted SY the ribbon around his waist (it was his subtle way of placing his claim on sy even if he couldnt get him out of there)#wanted to try my hand at a brunette shen yuan since i feel like im always drawing him with black hair

#gravity falls#bill cipher#my art#i was only gonna post him when he was done (as in fully painted) but but 1. i keep starting new projects instead 2. im scared specifically#of trying to paint the blush- the rest i Think ill get right but the blush oh dear god and 3. hes kinda grown on me as is 🥺🥺 i might lean#into it honestly. maybe try to give him a subtle marble texture.. only concern there is getting the nameplate to look right but itd be Cool#especially if they end up releasing the tbob bill figurines as a thing you can Buy. i know they teased that like a month or two ago#and you can bet your ass im buying a sweet dreams bill if i can afford it... so like... id rather have this one be Different. IF they drop#idk chat what do you think 😔 does anyone love him as much as i do. hes NOT ugly hes NOT. he's fucking adorable ok#the book of bill#also you can see how much fuzz he accumulated 💀 i tried so hard to keep my hands clean and it was not enough... but we stay silly....#honest to god i dont even know where all that came from. maybe my mousepad??? but i wasnt working directly on that obviously?? idk man

"you know, I never quite found the appeal of relationships. I've... seen how awfully senseless they may be. Those who rely on being a couple, often lacking satisfaction in their own life, are just seeking temporary solace from another... I've never indulged in such a practice." —Johan trying to lowkey hint at you that he's single right now and not seeing anyone.
#BOOOO. LOSERR. GO HOME 🗣 🗣 🗣#Trying to swing between johan being forward with you or him being subtle and cryptic because god forbid johan liebert actually starts datin#jk he doesn't date. You are already together in his head. Dating is a “trial” practice between two people to test compatibility.#you guys are compatible already because he says so <33 there is simply no dating stage. He is already making living arrangements.#johan liebert x reader#johan x reader#yandere johan x reader#yandere johan liebert x reader#yandere johan liebert#yandere johan#johan liebert#monster anime.#c.johan liebert#f.monster

Simple observation I made from reading these comics. DC, stop making their dad an asshole and make him hug them more.
Also, the hugs in these comics:

Tim's hug is not in Red Robin but it's during the run and when Bruce comes back in time.


Cass' hug is weird because they're suicidal freaks who think fighting is therapy. They fought while being drugged, and blew up a brigde. It makes sense for them only.


Jason's first hug (Outlaws) is after he tries to apologize for his crimes and Bruce refuses to let him to do it, because his boy is innocent for him 🥺 (and then, they fucked it up with Ethiopia because they cannot let them have nice things 🙄). The second one (Red Hood & Arsenal) is started by Jason, who is just very happy to see that Bruce is alive, even if he has lost his memory.
#cassandra cain#jason todd#tim drake#red hood#red robin#batgirl#dc comics#my ramblings#cass and tim are everything but subtle about how much they want hugs from Bruce#Jason is trying very hard to deny it but the moment he can have one he runs for it#I have barely started outlaws 2016 before being distracted so I don’t know if it follows the same theme#I'm getting worried about Bruce and Jason's relationship from panels I saw around like pls wtf are they making Bruce say or do again 😮💨#no he is not classicist DC controls your writers I swear#me 🔪 Dc#yeah cass and bruce hug is weird they are freaks#my vision for Jason is that he doesn't ask for hugs but the moment Bruce is offering he is throwing his siblings out of the way#the guy was so possessive of his dad he got mad when he learnt he got more kids he is against sharing the hugs

i know i haven't uploaded a new chapter for this fic in over half a year... and i probably won't any time soon... but here's some lore explained w/ virgil
#i don't know if i'll ever get to the point in the story where zombies come up#cause that's like 10+ chapters away and i haven't written for this fic in months#but ig it's good to write it down so if i do get to it in like 2 years i can remember lol#i was pretty lazy when drawing the ghost one cause i knew i was gonna blur it anyway and you wouldn't be able to see the details#but i think you can tell i didn't try as hard on that one#skeletons in the closet au#sanders sides au#sanders sides fanfiction#i tried to show subtle differences between the different stages of life with virgil#after he died and came back to life he got skinner and paler#and after coming back as a zombie he got even skinnier and his skin turned a bit yellow#the poor boy is withering away#i guess i'll tag him too#virgil sanders#sanders sides#i didn't really sketch these drawings first like i usually do#i kinda just freehanded it#so if they look a little wonky that's why#i guess at this point with no context the zombie arc seems pretty angsty#and it is#but it's also kinda cute#zombie virgil is very fun#oh and i guess this is a spoiler 😬#idrc though#chances are i won't even get to writing that part so i might as well tell people about it#my art

Personally, I’m just waiting for the Tianhuo to comment, it’s going to mention whatever needs to be said about lady Eigong’s character.
That doesn’t mean anything lady Eigong does is bad, per-say, buuuut..
What’s your favorite thing about Lady Eigong? I like her cool, stoic demeanor.
Proper appreciation for Lady Eigong's myriad admirable traits is something not to be taken lightly! One must consider not only the individual pieces that make her vastly enviable, but also how they coincide to create one whole picture! An incredible individual such as this cannot be boiled down to one measly "favorite thing!" She is to be understood and appreciated as a whole for her wonderful achievements for the future of solariankind as well as her personal charisma and superior intellect!
That being said, it is really cool when she starts hitting things with her laser sword.
#nine sols shitpost#//he’s trying to be subtle#//this is beautiful the Squid and the Eigong doodles are wonderful
