#a sense of distance there...

Thinking about how in the midst of the hostility currently directed at Amethio in-universe, Friede still remains the only one so far who expressed joy at his presence..
#that's his rival!!#i wonder if amethio notices the hostility or even cares about it#i guess he doesn't because he is just focused on trying to do what he can for gibeon#still it's a bit sad :/#being considered as getting in the way or a nuisance etc.#he has subordinates but it's still more of a professional relationship#a sense of distance there...#zir and conia are always glad he is safe of course but the hierarchical nature of that dynamics still stands in the way etc#that's why it stands out to me that friede got to express open joy and excitement at a few different points#about amethio being there at all (like in ep 45)#and being the only one so far too#(liko is still wary of him for good reason)#friede was so happy he found a rival on his level :(#it's cute when he gets to show these sides of his character...#i wonder if amethio saw a bit of spinel in friede in the first chapter?#we know spinel taunts amethio when he gets an opportunity to do so#and friede had this slightly teasing side too (but no ill will)#since i got the impression that amethio was projecting a lot of things onto friede at the beginning#(which was funny)#(the way he took things in the worst possible way etc)#anyway!#i really like their rivalry tbh#it's genuinely so compelling#for what it brings them both as characters#and how it relates to wider themes etc#character notes#episode notes#hz064

Looking for comfort in odd places
#mgs#metal gear solid#kazuhira miller#revolver ocelot#ocelhira#i have many thoughts of how their rl is in mgsv#even tho kaz doesnt know about venoms deal hed still sense some wrongfulness#so theres a sort of distance between him and ‘boss’#after 9yrs working tgt they sort of know the others worst and best moments. so when kaz is looking for familiarity hed go to ocelot#i dont think this is smt they talk about or recognize#imagine here they were having a convo about cipher and their plans/tactics to take them down#and in the middle kaz gor rlly worn our and needed a 1 minute break#my art

I can’t see the arm around Dan help someone outline pls ;_;
arm
#sorry sarah for doing this to your lovely photo the demon phannie tendencies just run very deep#i thought that was phil's back at first bc he's obviously bent over for the photo since dan is sitting#but that didn't make sense angle wise it's def his arm#he's stood right behind dan for whatever reason so he's like almost cradling dan's whole torso lmao#and stretching his neck to stick his face out next to dan's#while reaching over with his other arm around sarah#who is stood a normal distance away and not on top of dan unlike certain other people#answered

can you really be sure when you’ll never see him again?
inspired by @vypridae’s macabre maltreatment au, where the boys used to be separate but were shoved in the same body and don’t take to it very well :)
#fnaf#fnaf sb#fnaf dca#dca fandom#fnaf sun#fnaf moon#doodle dump#thinking about their inability to sense the other before they figured out how to communicate… so they can’t feel the other…#so how do they know if the other’s even still there anymore… not like they can see for themselves…. ough…#dunno if this actually fits the au or not but still referencing it anyway bc it’s that cool#complete side note but i LOVE that au name. alliteration AND evocative word choice??? it’s perfect#also fun fact i named this file “insurmountable distance” :)

porygon-3. or whatever
#pokemon#fakemon#porygon#porygon z#<in the sense of it being based on the design#concept basically like. ironing out some bugs from z#the vibe is helpful computer assistant#its more personified then original pory or 2#thus the fingers and upright posture#the detached hands able to go some distance from the body and directly point out things. a bit like a mouse cursor

i think im going to give up on naming my mascot and just call it 'the creature' or critter forever now. like, giving it a different name than my own feels completely wrong, but calling it by my own name feels wrong too, its like the bite sized version of me and my personality so its not ALL of me, but its also not NOT me. the critter
#it also provides this very comfortable blanket of distance thats always allured me about the internet. like#you can get to know me.. but there are parts of me that are just all for myself#and i think thats really nice actually#its not a persona in the sense im acting differently than i actually do. its a glove that fits very natuarlly#but it means i can choose what parts of myself to share. its not a character im playing but a characeture of myself. do you understand?

Teen Wolf

#teen wolf#scott mccall#stiles stilinski#sciles#twedit#twgifs#mine#my gifs#i'm not gonna defend myself if i suffer we all suffer#anyways more analytical i think it's really interesting how humanity equals being like unsightly if that makes sense#like in both of these the thing that being human is set up against is this idea of the true alpha as someone who is without fault and alway#strives to be the best person possible#like the true alpha doesn't get jealous of other people and he doesn't make mistakes#so when scott is jealous of liam and it results in his injury he's human#and when stiles kill donovan in self defense he's human#also about the second one it's very interesting that when the s5 divorce arc is happening and scott and stiles distance themselves from eac#other stiles starts to see scott as this ideal of the true alpha just like so many other people in the show#like he's usually the first to remind scott that he's human and capable of making mistakes and such#but once they aren't best friends scott becomes larger than life and a manifestation of everything stiles can't be#it's also why the “it'll heal” line in 511 is so important cause stiles doesn't see scott as a human at that point anymore he's just an#embodiment of the ideal and everything stiles feels he's lost since donovan#and scott has to deal with that coming from his best friend#he's used to it from everyone but not stiles

Does anyone think that dating one of the demons or angels could be considered a "forbidden love" trope in some way?
With peace and power dynamics between the 3 realms being mentioned as fragile, exactly why Diavolo rejected the idea of marriage when asked in S3 by the brothers, wouldn’t it then be considered risky to, publicly at the very least, date the demon/ angel from the realm they reside in?
MC, the sorcerer that surpassed their master who is deemed the most powerful sorcerer himself, considered a powerful weapon, with an (unstable, without protection from the ring of light) immense amount of magic, in a relationship with demon/ angel could be considered they've sided with the realm their lover resides in.
The topic (and unused potential) of the tension between the 3 realms, how MC affected that during S2, and wether choosing a lover within a realm they don’t belong in would be a risky decision.
#I love this because it allows the forbidden love trope to SLIGHTLY insert itself within the sense of canon#depending on what your definition of om canon is… that is#BUT just like I mentioned that lesson in S3 Diavolo rejecting marriage because the 3 realms are still not on good terms#and MC’s magic dialema in S2 caused quite the drama stir which you could tell from the conversation between Diavolo and Simeon#oooo and Diavolos reasoning for distancing despite yearning could also be because he’s aware of this fact#also Simeons kinda subjective when it comes to this though#and AHHH YES NOW I REMEMBER THE CONFLICT IN NIGHTBRINGER#S3 when even Solomon expressed he didn’t want MC to side with the Devildom wait I have to look into what lesson that was so I can read it#I definitely had something else interesting to add to the actual post but I forgot… dang it#this is at 1am so I might reupload this when I feel like I can put it better later#<- tags rant ends here lol#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me swd#obey me nightbringer#obey me nb#obey me lucifer#obey me mammon#obey me leviathan#obey me satan#obey me asmodeus#obey me beelzebub#obey me belphegor#obey me barbatos#obey me diavolo#obey me simeon#HELP I FORGOT MEPHISTO AND RAPHAEL I SWEAR THAT DOESNT USUALLY HAPPEN#obey me mephistopheles#obey me mephisto#obey me raphael

for some reason I can never take those heartwarming diaspora industry speeches seriously. Like that star navigation metaphor was cool and all but I'm not getting how your mother escaping being killed by US bombs in vietnam and you working for nasa uh. reconcile with eachother.
#like yeah whatever choose your career based on what you want but it#crosses into the realm of disrespectful when they try to paint it as a Good Deed Of Generational Connection#because thats just simply not true#maybe this is a really distanced and cynical opinion I'm sure it makes more sense to lie to yourself when said family is supporting you and#you have limited career choices#still lying though. hence why I dont like the syrupy thinkpiece making thats worse because they actually believe what theyre saying#txt

Woe, my Drainfolk headcanons upon yee
All my art and rambles under the cut because it's a whoooole ramble-y mess since i'm bad at. explaining my thoughts.
features characters in underwear but no nudity i promise
Okay so I tried my best to take a swing at this while also keeping these guys recognizable to the series. sorry if its a mess nmbnvbv.
I headcanon drainfolk the result of generations of normal humans warped from the influence of the drain which, similar to the rift, has properties that augments the creatures that exist near it, though the drain is much slower and a generational effect instead of the immediate- rapturous effect from the rift. Since the original population has been here for a good many of hundred years, they look incredibly different from average ggg humans (which also are unique against irl humans. looking at those inhuman skin tones) while still being directly related to them. Many traits developed were essential to help them survive their new lives in the drain ( claws, arm strength + length, growth cycles) since the place was incredibly hard to live in. Anatomy:
Drainfolk have very little sexual dimorphism - most of them all share the shorter and stout build and are covered in hair. the main differences are actually the fact AFAB individuals lack retractable claws and they tend to (usually) be taller and fuzzier on average). Drainfolk also display pads on the entire palms of their hands and slitted pupils. Development:
Drainfolk physically develop into adults at a very different pace than normal humans, while mental development stays the same. Staying incredibly small for most of their childhood with smaller growth spurts before entering a rapid period of growth close to adulthood. The sudden change in size causes a sudden shift to higher caloric intake and the occasional VERY CONFUSED teenager. The need to stay small for prolonged periods of time is because many places in the drain require you to climb in VERY dangerous areas, and the solution was to stay small as long as possible while your parents carried you until you were strong enough to climb around yourself.
Metamorphs:
Outliers in the drainfolk population- They tend to be around double the height of their compatriots and trade a lot of the heavier fuzz for a lighter coat and thicker skin. Their claws also grow longer as a form of defense.
Metamorphs are the term for drainfolk who after reaching adulthood, undergo a secondary growth spurt. This is caused by being thrust into various forms of responsibility and power- similar to how a dominant male orangutan will become larger or the dominant male fish will change size/gender if the large leader female dies. Either sex can become a metamorph, though its slightly more common in Afab individuals because of child rearing. This is also commonly seen in leaders of established groups of varying legality and in the eldest of a gaggle of an orphaned group of drainfolk after reaching adulthood. Any spot where the role of responsibility is shouldered is a role that can cause a drainfolk to become a metamorph.
Bonus:
Drainfolk even into their adulthood tend to climb up on people they deem close to them as a sign of affection or when they are scared / stressed for comfort. It is very common to see a drainfolk climb onto another the same size to the absolute annoyance or acceptance of the one being afflicted with the behavior. The behavior is very normalized in the drain but may come off as weird to people not aware of it.
#great god grove#ggg spoilers#ggg hector#ggg capochin#ggg alexei#ggg grujaja#JUST TAKE THIS POST.I HATE THIS POST ITS EVIL. TAKE IT#TAKE MY HOMOSEXUAL MONKEY SPEC BIO.#the intro image was gonna be sweet but then i realized i could channel the divorce energy and sicko mode happened#this feels very basic alone for the fact a drainfolk will just suddenly double in size if their body decided they need to protect the weak#but i like it despite me feeling absolutely insane#drawing normal sized hector felt like a crime#hope any of this makes sense. i feel insane#anyway uuuuuh.... [walks off into the distance]#this killed me to make it was evil#so sorry if its a mess#also shoutout to the random group of drainfolk i drew as an example. <3#also thanks to grujaja for being my little guy model

Bonus 12: Beware the Grapes of Wrath.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#WWX's main weapon as the Yiling patriarch is considered to be 'Wen Ning' - which makes sense as far as the whole necromancer thing goes.#However...That *is* Wen Qing's beloved baby brother!#In her perspective WWX skipped town for a few days (or so) and took WN with him#only for them both to show up bloodied and in a state of disarray.#There's no way he told her he was going out to duel Jiang Cheng. For several reasons.#He doesn't want to involve her in his messes anymore than he already has.#It's less that she would try and stop him and more so that he honestly wouldn't even think to say something about it to her.#WQ and him aren't partners in this situation. He actually openly disregards her opinions several times.#Wei Wuxian's emotional distance from everyone around him is a big part of this arc.#Like all good tragedies...his biggest flaw is his hubris. He doesn't *need* anyone when he's so capable on his own.#He doesn't need to ask permission when obviously this is the only way forwards.#He has to do it all on his own! No one else needs to be involved!#And if you've been in the position of realizing you have a problem of toxic self-reliance - you know how harmful this mindset is.#It's why it's so satisfying to see WWX in his 'new' life start to let other's share his burdens.#I will die on the hill of 'love means carrying each other's weight. All a burden means is that I can give you support and you support me.'#YLLZ is less 'competent and sexy' and more 'depressed and can't see it'.#Another lovely nod to the main theme here is how he starts leaning more and more into the rumours about him.#Though we are also still confronted with how these rumours fail to actually live up to reality.#Rumour has it the Yiling Patriarch is undefeatable. What a shame if that rumour turned out to be untrue!

fiddauthor galore featuring: another pmmm crossover, me getting the hang of drawing that wonky man (fiddleford), and a wip

the last one is a very obscure entirely italian reference but if you get it. i will give you a little kiss 😋 little hint: its a music video. you know this song. your dad loves it. there's the word gravity in it thats why i chose it


#fiddauthor#fiddleford mcgucket#stanford pines#gravity falls#the book of bill#tbob#my art#fanart#girl i didnt have drawing fiddauthor thangs in my bingo card what a weird turn of events#my thoughts on fiddauthor: in my head it makes sense if you headcanon both as very very very repressed gay men#college fling to long distance telephone calls every now and then to ehy im marrying someone to ehy i had a son to ehy do you wanna help me#once again gay situationships are the downfall of entire lives. wow#if you put it that way the blind eye society and the whole bill thing gain double the sour taste because now it was all about heartbreak#tragic#anyway i dont particularly root for them i just enjoy putting them into situations#and my flu is healing 😛

too busy to draw it but imagine Mind standing proudly over his and Heart's soon-to-be-second-win of the Sun and Moon Duo Tournament, a title that they are copping way too easily compared to last year btw, while in the background, Heart is fighting tooth and nail for his life against. a fucking sofa. and damn near almost losing too
#shoutout to the fucking whatever tournament. heart is barely winning by like one percent but theres still time for him to comedically lose#in the distance Whole is casually losing his Timeloop Character tournament but its okay bc he's losing to Majoras Mask#its very poetic and graceful#anyway posting this to partially announce im starting my redraw#not to jinx it but. i think we got it (rough 30% lead rip Celestia and Luna)#its a redraw in the loosest sense of the word. truly im just drawing a new victory piece lmaoo#itll be rough but at least it wont be drawn in less than two hours and look. not great#LETS GO WE'RE GONNA FUCKING WIN!!!!!!!!#chonny jash#jaggy posts#jaggy texts#chonny jash tournament

y'know... for a setting that places so much importance in Language and does so many ice cool things playing with it (Correspondence/Discordance, Parabola & Irem, etc) i think there's a bit of a missed opportunity when it comes to the terms and words people use in their day to day life... like for example:
do you think radical revolutionaries would avoid words like "enlightening" in their vocabulary and flip them for LON-appropriate counterparts to signal their beliefs?
like substituting the word "light" with "blight". lol
similarly, pet names relating to light like "sunshine" kinda have a whole extra flavour tied to them, leaning into nostalgia, melancholy and/or danger depending on the people using it. irony, even
"honey" as a pet name also has extra connotations now and might actually bother some people instead due to the association with the drug...
do you think SMEN, taboo as it is, and seeking being a recognizable phenomenon even to the common londoner, would spawn swear words and insults? (imagine the weight of telling someone to Go Seek or Fall Down a Well)
the word "well" itself. well as an adverb, interjection, adjective. just. think about it. think about what it represents. idk something is happening to this word for sure
#disclaimer that am still solidly in the beginning of the railway so idk if newer writing has stuff like this#granted fallen london is young enough that it makes sense for these kinds of developments to not have happened in a large scale yet#(in british english that is)#neon future though? yeah baby communication is gonna be shaped by its setting!! so many fun possibilities so much food for thought#am sure gtfo becomes gstn.#rambling sparked from wondering abt the intricacies of comparing ur beloved to the eldritch being in space who wants you deleted. or smth#i like giving my ocs quirks relating to language so. rei has a recurrent theme of speech & pronunciation issues in general#before being devoured the coffin incident left them with neurological damage too and it used to take extra effort for them to say things#cinthe uses second languages (specially french) to put an extra dissociative distance between herself and certain words/thoughts#zé speaks english nearly perfectly but he uses portuguese any moment he can and even exaggerates his accent sometimes#i think im giving him the revolutionary terms thing too once he gets more involved with the neath. hes the kinda guy to make statements :3c#fallen london#chainrambles

Consider: character-exclusive trinkets.
#dandy's world#vee#vee version 1#vee dandys world#vee dw#dandys world vee#dw vee#glisten dandys world#glisten dw#dandys world glisten#dw glisten#glisten the mirror#so basically‚‚‚ vee gains the reflection ability but for machines and it works alongside camera hijack#glisten gets mic check but for toons and it works with reflection <3#and if you're curious about lore stuff for the trinkets. related to stuff i'm writing with a very dear friend of mine...#vee made the tracker as a gift for glisten after a. Particular Incident™ occurred#which eventually led to her learning the depths of his insecurities and issues. at least to *some* extent anyway#originally the tracker only tracked vee's location. just. so he could feel more comfortable.#know that he's never alone even if he can't actively sense anyone nearby with his abilities.#and so that if he ever needs vee for *anything* then he'll know exactly where to find her#but! it's got utility for vee in runs too! means she's always got someone to watch her back who can see when she's in danger and help out#but anyway. the fact that glisten could use the tracker to teleport longer distances was actually unexpected for vee!#and once she found that out she upgraded the tracker to show *all* the toons' locations#but only in runs and on the current floor because it relies on the machines to broadcast a signal. whereas vee can be tracked anywhere#the hand mirror was admittedly more of a 'hey it'd be cool to give vee a matching trinket. let my girl teleport to machines' thing gfhdhdf#but. while my friend and i haven't fully confirmed it? i've had thoughts of it being like. a 'thanks for putting up with me' gift#that glisten gave to vee sometime after the aforementioned Incident. because that mirror has Issues#and struggles to fathom that anyone would still want to be around him after learning that he's. broken. imperfect. even his best friend </3#the hand mirror has glisten's sweater skin's colour palette because i wanted to differentiate it from the vanity mirror#but also. it's silver. second place. it's enchanted with glisten's magic but it still doesn't measure up to the real deal (gold) <3
