yeah simon is the one to scare people away when they get too close you, using his size and movement to intimidate, simultaneously shielding you behind him

yeah soap is the one barking loud, creating a spectacle and calling people out, and warning them away

yeah kyle is the one humiliating people, mocking offenders until either their own actions dawn on them or they finally recognize the venom in his eyes

but price is the one that launches into swinging. there is no warning, no hesitation. taking a step, even a single word against you, warrants immediate action in his mind. it's no laughing fucking matter. you are a top fucking prize, his prize, the best the world has to offer. john is rabid in his protection, bearing tooth and boot and claw and fist. there’s no point in talking to him or trying to negotiate, an offense is an offense and he won’t meet it halfway. someone looks at you the wrong way? they won't be able to see out of swollen eyes after headbutts them, crushing their nose. someone whispers something nasty about you? good luck even eating with that jaw wired shut. god forbid someone touches you, the other three boys can barely hold him back. john will break countless bones in every way he knows and beat his knuckles bloody if your smile starts to drop.

hey, wow! check out this cool retro game guide I dug up on some godforsaken corner of the internet!

I'm thinking of making Vaschete bracelets, and I'm not sure if I should make, in Machete's bracelet, white or black the main colour; white because of his fur (obviously) and black because of his clothes. I will also add a bit of red.

I thought you would like to know and because I would like to have your opinion for the bracelet.

Lovely art ❤️

Oh, that's such a lovely idea ;-;

I don't know, you're the one making the bracelet, I'm sure you have a better idea of what kind of color combination would work the best. I'd imagine more black could look really striking, but if there's too much of it it threatens to drown out the white and red.

This is the palette I personally associate with him. The black and the vivid red are the high contrast, deliberately eyecatching colors, but those come from what he wears. His natural color scheme leans into this sort of coral/salmon/peachy pink direction.

Was just thinking "it's gonna wreck me the first time Blitz refers to Via as 'my daughter'" and then realized forget what it'll do to me, it's going to absolutely end Stolas.

challengers (and, on some level iwtv) on the brain it really is so funny how so many people often will happily talk about polyamory as a solution to their little ships but when confronted with narratives that truly explore that it can't compute for them and they start picking teams of two.

Regardless of how 8x16 plays out tomorrow, I recommend that 9-1-1 hires some sort of reality coach to supervise episode production.

Someone who can hit Tim in the back of the head with a metal pipe whenever his ego gets too big or he's about to make another "creative decision" that's gonna fuck over the show.

Pantera - This Love

[cerealmonster15]

Ppl who order commissions r so strong. I start thinking for longer than 10 seconds about having to hypothetically describe what I’d want to another living breathing perceiving individual and I mentally back out of the idea SO fast. A similar thought process to my avoidance of getting food at places like burrito or sandwich shops where you have to communicate several parts of your food order to the worker for like, a minute. I’m sure your art sandwich is beautiful and I want to eat it but I cannot bring myself to communicate such desires without feeling an overwhelming feeling of shame that I invented and put there for no reason. You know how it is. I like black beans but if I have to say that out loud I’m going to catch fire.

I'm sorry I just cannot get over how BORING the eras tour book cover is. not only is it the same photo we've seen a million times as the tour movie poster but there's zero design elements to it?? I'd hoped that midnights + ttpd signalled taylor moving away from the recent album art trend of "just take a photo and leave it at that, who cares about incorporating the title or anything" but that's exactly what we're getting here 🥲 and it's even worse when it's a $40 coffee table book like those are meant to look good!!!!! bring back graphic designers we're in a pop culture crisis

[dirtyoldmanhole]

if you're imagining he's saying something along the lines of 'eyes up here' to poor corrin, you would be. correct.

[canisalbus]

Who's taller machete or vasco

They should be about the same height. If you take away his heels (and I advise against it), Machete is a tiny bit shorter than Vasco, but then again he has those antenna ears and Vasco doesn't.

In their setting they're slightly above average height at roughly 6'0/180 cm.

looking at me, looking at you

"Commander — Commodore, I mean," his words sounded weakly through a strained smile, "still gettin' used to that." Thrawn scrutinised his features, careful not to betray a concern that only grew at the sight of him. Eli took as much scalding as he could from that scrupulous stare, then forced his own eyes low. They were slightly puffy, Thrawn noticed; sore, with a small mark at the outer edge of the left. Like a burn. His cheeks, too, were streaked with red, making the scar that ran across the bridge of his nose look a shade lighter than usual. The way his hair feel seemed almost purposely tousled to hide as much of himself as he could...

the other night, I finished writing a ~12k oneshot set a few days after thrawn and eli moved onto the chimaera. eli's mood has taken a downturn since his promotion; thrawn is set on uncovering why (and how to help).

as he does, they decorate a room and do a lot of talking. we go in-depth on lysatran culture (from thrawn's art analysis perspective), toss in some hurt/comfort, and it might've ended up being a getting together fic accidentally? here, eli is also portrayed as having a good relationship with his family and lysatra.

if you feel like hanging out with thrawn and eli for a while, then click here to give it a read.

thanks, and credits to littlekhada for the scar eli's got in this (a minor feature of the fic, but I enjoyed using it).

Something I find fascinating about Wandee Goodday is that no one has kissed yet (I know Ye and Cher have kissed but...) Like not a full on make out session despite having an established couple in the show that they could be using to show us kisses. But we get no kiss sex scenes from Yak and Dee and soft, somewhat chaste scenes from Ye and Cher. We all know both couples are fucking. But the lack of kisses where normally the show would have one couple more active in that department tells me how important kissing is to this story.

Dee has stated that it's silly but he doesn't want to kiss unless he loves that person and is serious with them. But the entire show is respecting the no kiss rule which tells me that it's not silly. The entire show is respecting Dee's boundary here. And yes, Yak and Dee have come so close to kissing so many times, but they haven't. Dee has always pushed him away and Yak has always respected it when he does.

It makes me wonder what's going to happen once the main couple does eventually lock lips. Will that open the floodgates? Will the audience get to see both couples kissing then? Or will it continue to withhold that specific moment of intimacy. There's something the show is saying about the expected parts of intimacy being taken for granted and also deserving of privacy and that's up to the people in the relationship.

Kissing can be an act of love and desire, but what the show is saying is that it is not a requirement for those things. I can be completely talking out of my ass here, but something about this is really sitting with me. Not only do we get Plakao as ace representation, someone who wants a partner to cherish and be cherished without sexual expectations, but we also get the show reinforcing the ideas that love comes in all forms with so many different acts and different people are comfortable with different things. And all of that is okay. And all of those boundaries are worthy of being respected. Regardless of societies expectations for what it means to be in a relationship and be physical, whatever is right for you is right and isn't that just beautiful?

Why are you drawing Alfred as native that’s so racist considering his connection to England in the show

Hey, crackhead, would you care to pass what you’re currently smoking?

If you’re referencing the Horizon drawings posted last night specifically, not only is that a video game crossover post and by no means serious, it is fictional. I have drawn Alfred—yes, my Alfred, who is POC—in the garb of an entirely fictitious tribal society set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future where these humans have made their own unique societies from the ashes of ours, but they hunt AI-driven machines and survive off the land otherwise. The Tenakth literally worship the wasting frames of fighter jets from the “Old Ones”. If you have an issue with the designs of Horizon’s factions, then that is something you can take to the devs, Guerrilla Games, if you are that concerned.

If you are referring to my Alfred in general, then I apologize that my headcanon and interpretation differ so highly from yours. I see both Matthew and Alfred as being either biracial or mixed ethnicity, which is why I draw them how I do. This, to me, creates a commentary on the effects of European colonialism on the New World. What their European caretakers did to mold them into the Eurocentric standards that they forcibly raised them in, so as to remove what people on the European stage at the time likely considered “savage” and “uncivilized”. To marvel at the success of the European powers. How they have either removed themselves from or have attempted to reconnect with their roots, if at all, because for some that is a choice that they make of their own accord. It also becomes interesting in the roles they have taken through history, whether optionally or by force, and how I see them acting in the modern day. I cannot understand what mental gymnastics it takes to see my interpretations of them and call it erasure, but I also realize I may speak from the wrong lens, and for that I then apologize again. I will try to be more sensitive in the future if this is the case.

Sure, I do not make much serious art nor posts, at least not like I used to. But that is how I choose to engage in this fandom as of lately. I am here for my own fun and not for your entertainment. If I make your experience lesser, then you do not have to engage with me. So please leave. If you do not agree, then please stymie your apparent urge to belittle someone else’s interpretation and enjoyment.

I will not engage you further and I hope your 2025 is wonderful. Thank you kindly. Have a great Wednesday.
