I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THE COLOR WHEEL. file time was 21 hours and 9 minutes...dont ask me how many layers this was <3

this was kinda crazy but i really like it so yah :3

all close ups under the cut <3

[onejellyfishplease]

I just had a thought

How are the villains gonna react to Donnie’s aftermath look cause like imagine the hero’s you fight they’re pretty scared up from legit saving the world and then after a while the purple ones back (or they’re all back depending what they did searching for Donnie) and he is absolutely fucked up again and like why the fuck does he smell like bug spray and/or sugar

lol, thats not the only thing they'd be concerned about :)

But definitely, some of the more sympathetic ones would be a little worried.

'What traumatised these kids again???'

and also

'Why is the purple one wearing a full face mask?'

[gascansposts]

Hmmmm new oc concept? I might not do anything with them but here is the idea

[shrimpsodas]

improper lab safety

open: @swstarters location: Donny's Auto when: Friday evening in August, 1973

Grease was streaked across Celeste's cheek as she dug her arm deep into the engine of the old 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Despite being nearly 16 years old the car was in pristine condition, other than the fact that the damn thing wouldn't start. She'd checked everything from the battery to the ignition to the carburetor and still couldn't get the thing running. "Piece of fucking junk," she mumbled as she pulled the fuel line off of the filter outlet and attached a tube in its place. She ran the tube through her hand as she pulled it out of the hood and into a gas can. As she straightened up, she caught sight of someone walking into the garage in her peripheral. She glanced at the clock and then gestured towards the door without looking as she ducked back under the hood of the car. "We close at five on Fridays, you'll have to come back on Monday. Unless you need something from the convenience store, then you can come back tomorrow at ten."

the amount of hours i have spent watching the same four fucking videos of donna fucking murphy sing the same four goddamn songs should be a concerning element of my mental health* but alas i'm by far the most stable i have ever been in my life and i'm beginning to think this whole hyperfixating thing is actually how my brain works when it's lacking in dopamine and should not be a concern at all

*a sign that i'm escaping reality, as that's been my lifelong pattern which i desperately desire to no longer repeat and have been taking active steps in doing away with altogether

idk meta about my interps of riddler and aaron and what it means for them and how they treat each other

spinning off in my own little world has yielded what I am absolutely sure to be an only slightly insane interpretation of tb!riddler; this is someone who's been dismissed, belittled, scapegoated, used countless times, whose inflated sense of ego is... yes, an inflated sense of ego, but also a cover for an insanely damaged self-esteem and general inability to connect with other people. he's defensive of his interests because they've always been mocked until they're useful, he's defensive and selfish with his skills because when he works for someone else and does as he's told he's accustomed to taking the fall. he doesn't trust when people are nice to him because he's been primed to see it as an attempt at manipulation... and he worked as an operator for a carnival game in what I see as his late teens + early twenties while he was getting his degree, so he knows full well what it's like to be manipulative. being an operator for a fun little carnival game where the fun of playing is the real prize is different from leading someone on and stealing their work, though. the biggest similarity is that the games are rigged from the start and only an idiot wouldn't see that (he didn't see that, what does that make him).

so it leaves him intensely distrusting, competitive, accustomed to relying on only himself (except for his little nerd armada, god I love the riddlemen they're perfect in every way) and letting himself be the only person to call the shots. at the same time... he is desperately reaching out for connection. he's lonely! he wants to be validated and treated like he has value for being just a person, not for his immense smarts, though he'd appreciate that too.

aaron coming into the picture doesn't necessarily change things so much as it puts a new coat of paint over it, because eddie finds himself in the same position his own father was in (and failed) but also... not at all. not in the slightest. he saw, in aaron, a kindred spirit who was used, who was abandoned, someone who wanted to get back at a system that was rigged from the start. and, I mean, it's not like Batgirl and Robin aren't on the scene. (and prank and scorn, which is its own thing.) the way I see it, eddie didn't intend for aaron to be more comfortable as sphinx. it just... happened. eddie sinks deeply into riddler as a protective layer against the world (prickly intellect and a mean streak that quite frankly dissolves the very second it's not of use?), aaron takes the thing he loved that became a horrible burden and a source of pain and turns it into the weapon he uses to get back at the world as sphinx.

to some degree, eddie is trying to protect and nurture the child in him that loved puzzles and was shot down at every turn. aaron is the opposite; he grew up fast, too fast, was on a global stage at fourteen and acting like an adult (without the adult privilege of making decisions for himself) and being treated like an adult with his area of expertise. eddie trips facefirst into love with someone who is only using him, and pays the price; aaron carefully portrays himself as someone unattainable and undesirable in his relationship with the other villain sidekicks, prank and scorn. (the context for that is sphinx went to them each separately, after their respective disasters, and went; hey. nobody's going to look out for us. people are going to try and use us. people won't take us seriously. we have to look out for each other. and they have a groupchat where aaron talks scorn down from doing dumb violent shit and donnie goes through cycles where he relapses into prank with joker. all very interesting. I should talk about it later. he's very much a mother hen because like eddie, he needs a sense of control and he cares deeply for people).

so... aaron acts like an adult, mainly. eddie helps him make a fake identity and aaron takes over from there. he's trying to be as convenient as possible, and it never comes out but he's afraid that he'll be discarded as soon as he's more trouble than he's worth-- which would distress eddie if he found out. sphinx is useful, and smart, and eager to please, and takes care of himself. sphinx is altogether more comfortable to be than aaron, who is anxious and doesn't know how to ask for help or care and feels ashamed that he wants it. eddie is his superior, not a father figure. neither of them know how to navigate this.

when aaron graduates high school, he goes to college-- this is when he stops being sphinx and starts being tyto, triggered by him investigating the disappearance of a classmate and friend and discovering a seedy underbelly to newark. it's where his and eddie's similarities come to an uncomfortable forefront. aaron, when given the opportunity, is obsessive. he's willing to wait, but only for so long. a few years ago I was pretty adamant about aaron not killing, but over the years I've honestly changed my mind... I think that he doesn't intentionally kill, but it's happened. and with the people he's targeting, he's not especially guilty about it.

anyway, eddie doesn't figure out about tyto for a while, he thinks that aaron's just retired aside from visiting gotham and doing sphinx stuff for him as a favor on long weekends and holidays, and when he does he's surprised at how much he does not like it. he did invite sphinx into the whole business with the promise of getting back at people who hurt them (and the world, in general, and the way things are rigged, and it's fine for them to break the rules because nothing is fair) but that was stealing money. blackmailing people, at most! silly bullshit like jello bombs. people in speeding cars they control so they're not really in any danger. distractions. you know. supervillainy? tyto is not a supervillain. tyto is not even necessarily a vigilante, though that's what he's treated as. tyto is indeed getting back at people with precise and violent intent, much as an unsupervised nineteen year old with extensive training and too much compassion for his own good might.

it's not going to end well! it's a hopeless crusade that leaves power vacuums and is endless work, and what's going to happen when aaron graduates? How the hell can Eddie respond to that? he can't tell aaron to stop because he's not in charge of him anymore. he doesn't disagree with what aaron is doing but it might get him killed, and in fact there is a high chance that it might get him killed.

anyway I think that's what makes eddie realize that he cares for aaron a lot more deeply than he ever expected he does, or should. and once again things are spiraling out of his control and the only thing he can do is watch and hope there's enough pieces left to pick up.

The Heroic Adventures of Donny Coyote by Ken Mitchell

Corner Gas: "Block Party"

[charcoaldustonmyfingers]

Dramatic idiots lol

There is nothing worse than having to lift up the cushions of a childhood couch to find the remote, not knowing what disgusting horrors lie dormant amongst the crumbs and candy wrappers. I avoided sitting where my dad does on the sofa because, for all I love him, the man devours snacks like a wood chipper and I don’t want to even know how crumby those seams are.

Donnie has a gas mask because he absolutely does not want his nose anywhere near a cushion that so many peoples butts have been on. What are they watching? Idk maybe slime tutorials cause they’re both definitely theatre kids lol

Angst? Who’s she, I don’t know her :)
