Possibly unpopular read, but I think askeladd (atleast manga askeladd) has similar energy to a Vincent price character :U
#...its the hayes code villian energy#i specify manga askeladd cause that dudes just more theatrical#more animated than the animated version#not a fop but like. he is fop-adjacent#both goofy and serious#terrifying and silly#also idk this was just fun :T#vinland saga#askeladd#ive also been marathoning Vincent price movies#but like that because of this thought not the other way around#muppet bit gets a whole page too cause i know my own priorities#me: 'i dont like drawing askeladd' >:U#me 5 min later: 'i still dont like it but hee hee look hes talkin to fozzie and gonzo' :D#comin back to add: yes i know red death is plague and hes being killed w a sword but like#lookit me#it looks cool and also hes talkin to a muppet on the prev page

*takes a long drag of my cigarette* You know, I often see people misunderstanding what an attack dog is.
It's not a broken and brutalized beast. An attack dog is a lot like a service dog, or a herding dog, or any other dog that has a job. We've gotten very, very good at making dogs that want jobs. So you take a creature we've made to want to be helpful, and you give it purpose. You tell it to chase the man you pointed at. You show it to bite the arm that's raised in front of it. And it will be happy to play the game. It will do all that, and wagging its tail. Might even be healthier, what with the sense of purpose and mental stimulation
Sure, that kind of prolonged exposure to a high stress and violent environment has horrible impacts on the dogs health, obviously. But the act of training a dog to attack isn't what does that to them. A dog who's been attack trained can be hard to differentiate from any ol' domestic one. Granted, of course, that no one points at you, and you don't raise your arm a specific way while in its field of vision.
Anyways. *stubs out my cigarette* This post is about Zack Fair.
#remember kids smoking is bad I just do this for dramatic effect#also I'm waxing poetic but this comes from my own experience working with attack trained dogs#they really do think they're doing a good job and want to be praised for doing so so good at Corner The Human#its a bit strange#also utterly terrified if you're the one they have designated as 'it'#but I think a lot about how attack dogs act in real life versus how they are portrayed as a literary trope#final fantasy#final fantasy 7#final fantasy vii#crisis core#final fantasy vii crisis core#final fantasy 7 crisis core#zack fair#compilation of final fantasy vii#tropes

miscellaneous gideon related doodles ive been doing over the past few days bc my brainrot has set in and its unfortunately terminal. some things:
so ghost-eyes sticks around in gideons life, as do the other prison buddies of his. theyre actually a shockingly good influence. despite being willing to commit crimes whenever, they bring a sort of temperance to gideons more. insane thought processes that stops him from doing anything TOO horrible these days. ghost-eyes especially is his hench-uncle. hes a good egg
also some older gids doodles... he wasnt sure if the pines would ever want to hang out w him after the events of that summer but time smooths over some things. hes capable of being normal around her now but he'd be lying if he said he didnt still have a little flame in his heart when it came to mabel
also do you think he ever just remembers something he did as a kid and is like Hey What The Hell Was That About. because thats the funniest mental image to me. sitting up in bed and going 'ten years ago I made a giant robot'
what a life you live
#alloyart#gideon gleeful#gravity falls#should i bother tagging the others. yeah sure#mabel pines#dipper pines#pacifica northwest#i was Going to add candy and grenda to that doodle but i got lazy and tired forgive me. i need to draw them sometime soon#anyway i think its funny if one of ghost eyes reasons for being ride or die for gideon is just he kinda wanted to be a henchman#also i think he feels a shred of paternal affection for him since he probably came into prison genuinely terrified at first#so i choose to believe he saw this kid and was like 'oh dude. hey its gonna be okay im one of the toughest guys in here i got your back'#and then just went along with his crazy a bit because 'hey i like this kid hes got moxie. sure lets prison riot'

THE MOMENT NAOMASA REALIZED THE EXTENT OF WHO ALL MIGHT ACTUALLY IS
For refrence; a side by side comparison of how Naomasa knows All Might vs how Toshinori is when he actually lets loose
#bnha#my hero academia#yagi toshinori#naomasa tsukauchi#it was at this moment naomasa realized#toshinori isn't just a good guy who wants to do good#but an absolute freak of a man who NEEDS it#the first time in Naomasa'a entire life he's seen Toshinori's eyes actually light up and him smile out of sheer euphoric joy#and he's realizing he really never had a chance at keeping Toshinori out of the battle#he's realizing nobody ever had a chance at getting All Might to back down and accept retirement#Toshinori is awkward and soft spoken among people#for he does not know how to fit in there#he tries but he always seems a bit uncomfortable or distracted#but there- right there- Toshinori is THRIVING#Toshinori is a deranged feral individual who is damn right terrifying#naomasa is realizing that the entire time everyones been unaware how much of a monster the symbol of peace really is#because toshinori is tame#he's on their side#he's the symbol of peace and hope#it's like thinking you have a pet golden retriver#only to realize you have a dog that's built to hunt bears#and watching your once percieved golden retriever#tear into a monstrousity that had you quacking#like its the most natural and right thing in the world to them

I always forget how good the actor is for Rogers bc obviously Woodes Rogers is not occupying as much brain space as other black sails characters but then ill be watching the show especially the last season and he's stealing scenes left and right like damn. this guy is good.
#the way we talk abt how silver was a career defining role for luke arnold i think luke roberts is also giving that#he is so terrifying & so human#i love that his fighting style is so vane coded as opposed to flint coded. brutal & quick & animalistic. he is GIVING physical performance#& his griefrage widower era is so. wowie. mr roberts your limp hair and dead eyes and capacity to project inhuman cruelty is award worthy#any scene hes in with madi is eveything bc she is giving dignity and fortitude even dirty & in chains meanwhile he comes off as some cross#between a reanimated corpse and a feral animal that just bit its way through it's leash#like okay! this is the guy civilisation sends to tame nassau! hes not even tame himself. he's their rabid dog.#black sails#big black sails rewatch !

Me: Trying to find a way to safely protect a Viggo from electrocution while riding a lightning dragon using my basic education, self-taught blacksmithing, fascination with engineering, and costume making knowledge
I feel very qualified for this. Lol seriously tho-
Anyone else have any ideas? Bc while I am going to post my idea on here in a bit (Once I release my next chapter of KTS, so probably sometime tonight or tomorrow) I would LOVE to hear what other people have thought about this problem. I don't want my boy to get fried by his own dragon.
I have done a ton of research, but trying to apply this to the rudimentary knowledge that Vikings had in this period along with their limited resources has been a NIGHTMARE.
#Viggo would freaking die if he rode the Skrill and I feel like nobody talks about this#even though I feel the Skrills lightning is less powerful when it runs down its spines like its still probably devastating on a human body#I wanna be as true to science as I can but lo and behold nothing like this exists#I have a rudimentary idea of how to get around this but like#my idea is a bit based around httyd bs and a bit twisted science#viggo grimborn#httyd skrill#Im goin in blind here#Ive done SO MUCH RESEARCH on lightning#and metal#Lightning is terrifying#how to train your dragon#httyd#httyd rtte

#its true love fr fr#i was always worried about callum getting a white streak simply because of the danger hed be in. like the dark magic needed to cause a#white streak is taxing and can be super dangerous so i was always scared about his wellbeing#but now that its there. and hes fine (even if he now has the darkness in his heart again aka can be controlled by aaravos. which IS#terrifying cuz its obvious he'll be coming back) its not as stressful to see in canon. kinda growing on me now that in canon its done in a#way that didnt almost end his life. if that makes sense#and then my brain came up with a shitty joke and i had to post it#tdp#tdp s7#tdp s7 spoilers#callum#rayla#rayllum#hes such a good boyfriend wanting to match a bit with his girlfriend#also hearing rayla being referred to as his girlfriend BY HER DADS TOO was so wild and amusing#wonder if ethari saw callum and was like 'ey its that weird human boy. with the terrible earthblood disguise' literally the first two times#he saw him callum had on that disguise. its so funny that they brought it back and to reali#realize this too#the dragon prince#continue the saga#continuethesaga#give us the saga#giveusthesaga

Got an itch to play Sunless Sea again and it's always such an odd experience because. Like.
I know this game. Any other game, the level if knowledge and research I have put into this would make me a confident fucking master. And yet.
I can be reading text I've read dozens of times before and i still feel...not clueless, but absolutely off the mark. It all feels so familiar and yet I've never seen a victory condition. I've at least started pretty much every storyline but I'll still see something new each time I sink some time into it. I have a fucking JOURNAL of TRADE ROUTES and REQUIRED ITEMS and somehow that's only mildly helpful
That and the fact Fallen London's lore is so fucking batshit and honestly kind of hard to research (thr wiki's are frustratingly structured for me and the browser game is just. A bit inaccessible for me) means I can have a pretty solid understanding of what's going on in each port and what each faction is about and still ZERO FUCKING GRASP ON LITERALLY ANY PLOT
#to be clear! this is a big part of why i enjoy it#like...imo fallen london is kind of a perfect cosmic horror setting#bc you can learn everything there is to know and so much remains somewhat inscrutable#leaves me hungry for information which is a little frustrating but still enjoyable#also its so slow paced? so youre really left to juat kinda. stew in the atmosphere#anyway if anyones super familiar with it and wants to give me tips id love to talk about it asfgjgjf#im still trying to build up money early game#juat finished the salt lions and it seems the khanate has spawned on the fucking furthest north eastern corner#so i need to fucking find it so i can run the sun trade for a bit#sunless sea#also forgot you only get the sub unlocked in one playthrough so i gotta do that again#but tbh the unterzee stuff is what i know least about. ive done stuff here and there but not finished anything#i need to know what the deal is with the nook#also that fucking spider TERRIFIES me even tho its never caught me

Niklas furry (scalie) version concepts. He's a common European adder! I'm really vibing with the legless version and I think it fits with the rest of my furries (while the fish have arms and legs with digits, ordinary fish already have fins which are homologous with tetrapod limbs, snakes don’t). In any case there's also a limbed version.... because who am I to stop a man from achieving his dream of flipping the bird
#niklas is a tropey jock bully and i think him being an adder adds to that#niklas (man) is the way he is because he just really struggled with school and i mean severely#with no help and all this pent up anger and sadness and disappointment he turned to lashing out#this was very easy because in a way it was expected of him to act aggressive. the rest of his friends were like that.#and after all…. he IS a boy. boys just tend to act like that. its nothing out of the ordinary#hes so aggressive and mean but he is a follower in the end and when the rest of his friends started becoming a certain way…. so did he#he Belonged and could Assert even the tiniest bit of Power that he had by becoming that way! but i doubt he consciously thought it through#like that lol#in a similar vein adders are very hated and feared and people try to immediately kill them in fear of being bit#niklas being an adder would just push him harder to become aggressive#later on niklas is also just. full of fear. the circumstances of his death left him so terrified he got stuck in a tv and couldnt get out#(because every time he tried he would get a panic attack and eventually he was forced to give up)#even before death niklas was scared! scared of being a nobody. scared of being found out. scared of never amounting to anything#the fear motivated even more lashing out#fear is important here also because adders only bite when they are frightened and actually fearing for their life#man who is so scared of never amounting to anything dying alone before he ever amounted to anything -#stuck in his fear curled up on himself lashing out and biting anything that gets close or else… or else#just like an adder! :DD#niklas#sirpaverse#art#my art

I like how in these past two entries Dracula is just There In the Background.
He's a flying bat, maybe a bird, he's that figure on the seat over there in the distance with the glowing red eyes. This is so different from how he menaced Jonathan (where he was the creepy old man that is Actively Keeping Me Prisoner yet still wants to have nightly chats) or the Demeter crew (where he understand the Nothing is Scarier trope and generally keeps out of sight till the end).
This time, he's just chillaxing in the background because we've had those two instances of different flavors of horror, and now we are thoroughly terrified of him, so just seeing him in the background is enough.
And this kind of tickles me in a weird way because I do so love when you can see the danger. It may not be actively menacing you. In fact, it may be moving away from you. Honestly, you don't even know if it has noticed you, and it's still TERRIFYING.
Like, sure, the idea that the monster is watching you and you not realizing it is scary, but sometimes you watching the monster is worse.
#dracula daily#re: dracula#dracula#i should amend#Mina is not experiencing this#the audience is#this trope works best if you know that the monster far outclasses you#cause then its less “im stalking the monster to initiate combat”#and more “oh shit am i hidden? did it see me? is it going to come after me?”#i mostly get this in video games and ttrpgs obviously#but it can be done well in a book#jurrasic park (the book) has some moments of “oh shit do the dinosaurs see us”#and theres that bit in the movie where they run into the trex hunting on the open plain#the trex isnt actively menacing them#but its terrifying cause if it notices them they are screwed

EOVD Doodle Dump!
Today (the 30th) is the anniversary of me posting the first chapter of my fic, exes of varying degrees (wow!!) and for some reason, I haven't posted any of the art I've done for it despite drawing uh... QUITE A FEW PIECES while I was writing it!!! So I figured now was a good time to redraw some of them so I could post them all at once!
There's also another comic that ended up needing its own seperate post, so y'know. If you want to see Edge with cat ears... go check that out.
Also, take a look at the best gif I've ever made (+ context):

The mention of Stretch looking a little green was to inform the audience he looked sick but it was also a very subtle reference to the pear wiggling gif hrhdherjhwfejjhefkjh
These are the old versions of the art I redrew :'] My anatomy is a little wonky (*wheezes.* Sans' spine... the readers ARM...) but I still kinda like em! I drew both of them at work LMAO
#undertale au#exes of varying degrees#eovd#swapfell papyrus#papyrus/reader#swapfell!papyrus/reader#underswap papyrus#underswap sans#swapfell sans#sans undertale#reader insert#GAH TAGGING#my art#one day ill draw rus consistently.#today is not that day#another terrifying thing? since EOVD is around a year old. soon Flipping Fate will be too#;u; ...#anyway. i miss drawing blue w a tooth gap. im bringing it back#i think its super cute#i was gonna redo the pear wiggler gif but ehhhhh i dont think i have the time and honestly it has a bit of messy charm as is#i’ll post these to ao3 later as well but you guys get it a little early#because. i dont want to finagle with html and images LKIHSKLFJHSFH

There is nothing to add, there is no hidden message. Damocles speaks for itself. This song is so raw. It's just him. Just Vessel, and not the persona, just the guy. A guy that is carrying such an immense weight.
To want everything you've given, everyrhing you've worked for, to be remembered, but to not want to be known. To have this success, but to be scared that it could all just vanish. To feel like you have to constantly keep making things bigger and better than before. To fight those silent battles day in and day out even though everything is seemingly wonderful. To feel like you're not sure when it should end, or if it already has.
I hope he knows that we could never forget him. I hope he knows how we appreciate him, not just his art, but HIM. He puts so much of himself into his work, he has poured his soul into all of this, and we see that.
Vess, on the off chance that you're reading this, I hope you're okay. I know that probably sounds hollow, but for what little it's worth, I mean it. I was so lost, felt so broken and alone, and then I found Sleep Token. I found catharsis and community. I found strength I wasn't sure I had and it was because of you, and so many others feel the same. We will still be here when the river runs dry. Wherever this road leads, we will gladly follow, even if that is to it's end. You have done more for us than you can ever know. Please remember that. Please remember that you matter, beyond what you can give, beyond what is expected or demanded of you. You are so loved.
#i know what its like to be made to feel like youre only worth what you can give to others#to wonder what will happen when you cant or wont give anymore#the uncertainty#the anxiety#the sadness#its terrifying#i hope to god he has good people around him#ones that might be able to ease this feeling even a little bit#sleep token#sleep token - damocles#vessel sleep token#zel yaps

love thinking kipperlilly spends her afterlife looking for lucy in a familiar forest
#not art#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#like. does she have a mean of knowing lucy and yolanda got sent to cassandra's domain to hang out for a bit#kipperlilly's isolation means so much to me. she is punished for everything she's done she just doesn't pick up on it#until the moment she dies! one more funky thing that mirrors riz in which he's actively tried to cultivate a community and denied it#until the bad kids. while kipperlilly does not want or care about a community she just wants someone who validates her#but she does Need a community so she latches onto the person she lets closer to her to fulfill her emotional needs#she took the ritual willingly so this might genuinely be her first death. probably terrifying#probably not even enough bandwidth to feel mortified. maybe immediately seeking something comforting out of instinct alone#lmao honestly thinking too much abt fantasy high afterlifes gives me a headache And a visceral fear#Im not religious but I grew up in a culture with a dominantly buddhist/taoist cosmology its Scary that u just go to A Place after u die!!#and then ur still urself!!! thats scary to me what do u mean u stay like that forever. thats fucked#but yeah I think this influences how I see kipperlilly turn out a little bit. in a sense I think of her as being a ghost now#yknow. trying to solve something from life so she can move on and. stop living this life etc#man the reveal that lucy took being killed pretty seriously and is like yeah the others are decent and even sweet#and probably was just trying to hold her party together and do what she thinks is moral by hearing kipperlilly out#lol lmao etc. gods I gotta wonder how kipperlilly's mindset handled jawbones' help#it really is damn tragic tho. I stand by what I said folks like this will complain and be nasty to be around#but they dont have enough desire to inconvenience themselves to off the bat do something abt what they find unfair or whatever#its when theyre handed the seemingly very easy means to be right that they'll start being dangerous#its horribly tragic that the supposed metaplayer and the self-perceived mastermind turned out to ultimately be just an useful idiot#yknow what. I think personally in my heart kipperlilly moves on from her afterlife the moment she says sorry#doesnt even have to be to lucy but that's probably gonna be who received it#ah.... teenage rebellion. teenage gamejacking
