best thing about batman is that he's a superficially grimdark character, gothic & brooding & angst ridden etc..........but then it turns out he has a million hobbies, regularly goes on adventures with his besties, and has a dozen adopted kids he's raising with his devoted foster dad. good for him
#dude's out there living his best life he's just goth#batman's hobbies include staying active...world (and space) travel...volunteer work in his local community#plus bonding with his kids over shared interests. (every day is take-your-kid-to-work-day in the Bats household)#he's even casually dating a woman from work (she's a cat lady not looking for commitment but yeah she's met his kids)#rich and fulfilling lifestyle#he is out there living a thrilling and exciting life surrounded by friends and family!!!#literally he's just goth and autistic leave him alone

#vampire hunter d#vhd#art#illustration#I think I like best how it's a recall of klimt's figures but in contrast D is alone - an emphasis of his solitude#The gold surrounding him a symbol of his status and how above it all he his - looking past us to something we can't even imagine#Don't forget to check out the VHD Zine ! P-O opened yesterday ( can't believe Saiko of all people is in it omg )#also yeah ~ I'll be making prints of it~#I have to get things into order but do keep an eye out if you're interested!#I think it'd be cool to look into gold foil too ooh ꒰´͈ 0 ॣ`͈⌗꒱💖#Hmm ~ but yes the motif I had going into this drawing was the “horseman of death”#makes me think about the brothers and which ones they would symbolize of the the remaining horsemen....#anyways have a wonderful day !

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#granny wen#a-yuan#wen qing#wei wuxian#wen ning#wen bin bin#Si-shu#I had hopes to post this for Valentine's day - but I chose to practice self-love and get some sleep.#Instead I am here on the day of this blog's two year anniversary to reminisce and give thanks.#Not quite about blog stuff. That's for another post. I have quite a few treats to share for this anniversary!#Rather...I've been thinking about my own relationships and the bonds I've forged and broken.#The transition between environments...when you leave somewhere and hear about how all the people you were once close with-#-have been moving on without you? It's so bittersweet.#You want to be happy for them. You wish you were at their side. You cannot be at their side.#Relationships change like the tides. They ebb and flow. Sometimes they crash so hard into the shore it reshapes it entirely.#The truth is that we are more surrounded by love than we realize. Even when we feel utterly alone - there is someone who wants to help.#And to me this scene strikes a chord in that way.#This is the reminder than even though you feel like it is all burning down around you - you are loved.#There are people who miss you. People who are so thankful for your presence in their life.#And most importantly of all. And I say this from the heart: There are people you have yet to meet.#Remember this in the darkest of days: The future is full of loves you have yet to see. The present is also full of love you forgot to see.#Another reminder to go tell someone you care about how much they mean to you today. It matters.

Sorry, but I accidentally checked what Solas has been saying about spirits and demons and broke my heart.
#last one i promise#veilguard spoilers#datv spoilers#solas dragon age#solavellan#this damn ending is still everything#also the mirror images of him breaking down live rent free in my head#one is him alone and one is him surrounded by people who care i die

i see your “bruce wayne laughs in upper class, 100 dollar bills fall from his lips when he chuckles, etc etc” take and i agree wholeheartedly but also i raise you
“bruce who doesn’t really laugh at things out loud like that really, he’s more of a nose exhale, brief grin and intense eye contact conveying his emotions” type of guy but sometimes
something will happen that constitutes, his full on body laugh and when its an instinctual thing it’s so rare that bruce doesn’t have a failsafe for that reflex and the person they’re with just,, stops
because the laugh they’re so used to can’t be compared to this genuine deep, heavy with emotion and feeling laugh that fills his lungs and your soul- and they just wish he would do that all of the time instead of his wooden paparazzi simpering and its something so stark that it throws them for a loop
and idk i just love watching bruce expose layers of himself to those he loves without consciously doing so
#this can be read as platonic or romantic honeslty i just like rice exposing vulnerabilities to the people he love’s subconsciously cause he#trusts them instinctively and that’s a whole can of worms he’s not ready to deal with after a childhood of solitude and isolation#and not matter how many years go by he never really left that moment in the alley#alone - surrounded by the#corpses of his childhood protectors thrust into a position of responsibility he was never meant to be in bjt he took it with honour#i’m on my cassandra is the true gotham#protector agenda again ignore me#dc#batman#bruce wayne#batfam#superbat#batlantern#wonderbat#batcat#jason todd#dick grayson#tim drake#damian wayne#red hood

there are so many amazing and powerful benders in atla but what i love about zuko is that whether or not he can use his bending in that moment has zero (0) bearing on how much he’s going to absolutely kick your ass. no bending? that’s fine - he’s got swords. no swords or bending? that’s fine - he’s literally just going to beat you up. if you’re REALLY unlucky then you get all three. as a treat.
#like he’s surrounded by these amazing benders.#azula who’s a prodigy#the literal avatar#katara who mastered water bending in like -3 days#(literally iconic of her tbh)#and zuko IS a great firebender (his abilities as a firebender improve as his story progresses)#but it just absolutely cracks me up when i remember zuko will just. not use his bending sometimes#anyway zuko alone fight was special bc he really said i will use all three bc ur special 🤭#ch: zuko#avatar the last airbender#avatar: the last airbender#atla#hattie talks#where’s that post that’s like zuko is a prodigy but his special skill is breaking and entering and he can’t tell anyone about that

There is a light, I feel it in me
but only, it seems, when the dark surrounds me
@aroace-get-out-of-my-face do you understand what this post did to my brain chemistry. Do you. You and anon, do you understand. Fuck, man
full comic under the cut!
#The lyrics are from Abbey by Mitski which i was listening to while drawing this#He’s all alone now. He’s different. Did you notice how there’s no white streak in his hair#Because there’s no metal plate#And how his hair is lighter than in canon from grief and stress.#And loneliness#And the kids are so full of light and innocence while Ford can only ever be surrounded by it. But never have it for himself.#Even when it reaches out for him#He doesn’t know that he was never alone#Why did you do this to me#I was DONE making AME art until chapter 10 do you understand this. I had brushed my hands off after the animation#And then#not even a day later. Two??#You throw this at my head. And I pick up my tablet with a sigh. And begin again#One must imagine Sisyphus happy#/j /lh#When you dm-ed me the other day I was giggling cause I KNEW I was working on this#But I didn’t say anything bc this is funnier#Sorry man#my art#gravity falls#stanford pines#stanley pines#dipper pines#mabel pines#comic#abandon my eulogy#This was the kind of piece that made me question if I’d ever drawn anything before in my life but it was so worth it#tw grief#tw character death

making LEAPS and BOUNDS with the feral kitten!! tonight I managed to slowly move her food onto my lap to encourage her to put her paws on me while she ate, and once that clicked, she kept kneading on my hands and my legs. I've already broken the seal w/ being able to touch her, but getting HER to touch ME seems huge, I think she's been really needing that, since I don't know how long it's been since she's been around her family. wooo progress!!! p.s. I don't have any pictures yet, bc whenever I'm with her, I'm playing a youtube video of cat purrs / trills to calm her down, and if I go to take a picture it'll pause the video. but I WILL take a picture of her soon!
#CONTEXT: she was born in our garage and we've been seeing her and her litter on-and-off ever since#we know she had at least two littermates and I've seen her mom around too#but recently she was all by herself (made her easier to catch) but I haven't seen the rest of the family (I am concerned)#obviously she misses her litter. because she's not used to being alone.#and the only way to make her comfortable is to put on a video of a mama cat trilling at her babies OR a video of a cat loudly purring#it needs to sound like there's another cat around somewhere. again. not used to being alone!#I'd like to see if I can't introduce Toby to her so she can have some feline interaction but he's kind of a cunt. so.#I'll see how I feel about that after she's continued to warm up to these new surroundings she's found herself in.#It's HUGO who truly wants to see her but I doubt a big as fuck dog is what she wants to see right now#but he's desperate to interact with her. he loves kittens.#sergle.txt

Prompt 310
Shadow core Danny? Shadow core Danny with Hazmat AU? Indeed, with a hint of a twist.
See that hazmat helmet beneath the hood? Yeah that’s erm, that might be his actual face now. It might be able to split open into a proper maw, as he found out during one of the early fights. He thinks it might be a shadow-core thing though, because Fright Knight has something similar, along with the Keeper. Who's apparently a ghost that keeps track of other shadow-ghosts, which, cool. Cool library covered in flesh, nothing spooky there.
He mentions this? Because apparently even if all ghosts partially feed on emotions, shadow cores need Fear the most. Which, thankfully shadow cores are apparently more rare than he’d expect, so he’s not going to go into a territorial frenzy or something on a bad day, yay!
But uh, he might… count as a ghostling since he’s only a year dead- in fact he’ll continue to be as such until he’s at least 100 years dead, since he didn’t die as an adult. Which in turn… means he needs even more fear, at least until he’s old enough to generate it on his own.
So what’s a ghostling to do? Take a trip to one of the most fear-soaked cities in the world, y’know, just a little weekend trip every month. Gotham isn’t that bad, and he can stay invisible- mostly! What’s going to happen, he run into a vigilante? Ha… oh no.
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Shadow Core Danny#Hazmat Au#Fright Knight might be softer towards Danny because he’s a lil shadowling#and might’ve ghost adopted the tiny ghostling who managed to catch his sword#Look the nightmare realms are perfect for feeding young shadow ghosts but human halves complicate things#Danny is unaware that Fright is constantly following from the shadows#Look to the old ghosts Phantom is practically a neonate so he’s not gonna just leave him alone#Shadow cores mimic/mirror their surroundings- hence why most can’t tell if one is baby or not#Unless you are a realms medical specialist or also a shadow-cored being#Tiny hazmat-esque creature: *hisses*#Goons: Aw it’s kind of cute in a creepy way-#Giant Knightmare rising from its shadow with claws/teeth bared & surroundings warp into eldritch monstrosities:#Goons: *screaming crying vomiting-*#Danny: I’m so good at this scaring thing :)

I'll never not believe that Davos is the one who fell first and harder. that he wasn't the one getting his heart truly broken. the one fighting for Aaron's love and attention and aching when he is denied. the one longing for Aeron and having to reckon with the fact that he can never truly have him, there's too much keeping them apart.
sure, Aeron has his own feelings, his own longing, his dread.
but you can see it in their faces, it's Davos's heart that's a mess, his soul that is aching, while Aeron is more confused and unsure of his own feelings and where they lie in the mess that is feuds and war and blood and kin.




Davos is angry but full of bitter, rage filled acceptance. Aeron is scared, confused, and stuck between acceptance and denial. and it's breaking me.
#Davos was down bad and suffering because of it and ill never be ok about it#thats the face of a man whose come to terms with his feelings and is wallowing in them and doom that surrounds him#he's angry! with the world. with fate. with Aeron for once again choosing the other side. with himself for his feelings.#Aeron is scared of what he feels. scared of loving Davos. scared of him in general. scared of what lies ahead.#he's in the grey area between denial and acceptance#he can't accept his fate#maybe Davos sees that he's suffering his pain alone and ks angru about that too#my roman empire#aeron bracken x davos blackwood#aeron x davos#davos blackwood#davos blackwood x aeron braken#davos x aeron#aeron bracken#brackwood#davron#hotd#house bracken#house blackwood

tiny animation detail from this scene I really like: rook glances towards the locations of lucanis and bellara's rooms (and possibly where they're most likely to be found in this moment?) respectively when they deliver this line!
(honestly I expect that lucanis is hanging out somewhere other than the pantry during this to give everyone in this unfolding catastrophe some space, but consider: it's so much funnier if he IS sitting in the pantry hearing this all go down on the other side of the wall like

taash stomps in with thunder and trepidation in their eyes like 'hey. I need vegetables. can we make vegetables happen.' and lucanis already handing them a lettuce and tomato like i gotchu fam this is literally the only thing I know how to do for you in this situation go with the maker and these salad ingredients I resignedly already know you'll just put on a plate with no dressing no spices no nothing. just the most sleep deprived caffeinated to the point of vibrating gently in place awkward-yet-painfully-well-meaning man in the world standing there before his friend about to have one of the most difficult conversations of their life like '...can I offer you a turnip in these trying times' while rye desperately treads social water out in the dining room to buy time. amazing. our lives really all do touch each other. headcanon passionately embraced)
#I love this scene honestly. it highlights all the ways taash and shathann struggle to communicate#(they are both people who are so exactly. themselves. for good or ill)#and has so many good 😬 moments for rook like they're watching a traincrash happen depending on how you play it#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#taash#lucanis dellamorte#jeff berg's 'then why did you leave' still one of my fave deliveries in the whole game btw. so soft yet so intense#I've been thinking about building out some more parental figures for rye growing up aside from renn (whomst still is DAD don't get me wrong#and I'm thinking a reasonably high-level watcher who rye occasionally gets flashbacks to while talking to shathann...#could add some delicious dimensions to it all haha#like the moment the watchers realized their little crypt baby was a mage there was a mage watcher set to keep an eye on them#because poor renn cannot be expected to deal with all of all of that alone. hello. buddy cop platonic co-parents#making rye into the person he is today (a delight (to me and lucanis in particular) and also deeply deeply neurotic)???#I'm onto something here baby. it takes a necropolis to inadvertantly fuck up a child#hello. lucanis popping his head out from the pantry after shathann leaves and saving rye from having to eat a whole slab of ham#by claiming he is also hungry and could throw something together. true love. partnership. rye clutching him like I owe you my life etc.#also a good thing to imagine taash surrounded by people who love and understand them after that scene#just. it's nice.

There are similarities between tfo D-16 and tfp Bumblebee, but their finals are different.
Something was taken away from both of them.


transformation cog voice box
They were bullied and subjected to excruciating torture.


Both take the lives of those who tormented them


But....


He was seeking He was striving for revenge peace
Thus, one remained a hostage of the past, absorbed in his hostile thoughts, while the other moved forward, carrying with him a message of hope and reconciliation.
#transformers prime#transformers one#tfp#tf one#bumblebee#tfp bumblebee#d 16#d16#tfo d16#tfo d 16#tfo megatron#megatron#tf one spoilers#parallels#I really like that in the final image Megatron stands alone above everything#while Bumblebee is surrounded by his companions and is on the same level as them#How different inner aspirations can shape a person's destiny and influence the world around them.#The desire for revenge often begins to corrode the soul making it hostage to resentment and hatred#On the other hand striving for peace requires great courage and spiritual endurance from a person.
