here's to all the art that will never be known by anyone other than its creator. for whatever reason that is. i love you art that i'll never get to know, especially if it is intended to be that way. i love you art that exists in the nooks and crannies. i love you art that gets destroyed by the creators choice. i love you art that exists only for one. i love you art that will never be defined by anyone except the one who made it. i love you art that will never even leave the creators head. i love you art that simply is

#queued post #i have a lot of strong feelings about. well. art #and like mortality n stuff #there's this post on my dash that keeps coming back around about like. mourning all the art they'll never get to see #and it really just... irks me #the op can feel whatever they want it's fine but i just #why do you mourn it ?#it existed didn't it? isn't that enough #someone on the post added that 'this is why you archive everything. you never know when it'll disappear' or something along those lines #....on a post about art that was taken off the internet By its creator #the creator's choice #you don't get to make that choice.#that addition is what really ticks me off #i am all for art preservation. it's important. it's vital.#not all art is for you.#the post doesn't even consider the side of the creator. it has such strong 'well i wanted to see it and now i'll never get to see it again'#vibes. and like fucking yeah ok you can feel anything you want that's totally fine #....................it's not for you tho..?#so if there's any artists out there who are seeing this post and reading the tags. hey. you can do anything you want forever #you can do Anything you want. forever #you make your choice. hopefully it is your choice alone. you do not owe the internet or historians or anyone all your art #you can do anything you want forever and ever #your art is YOURS #it will ALWAYS. BE YOURS

I know some people have unfathomable beef with the term but i really don’t see the issue with transmascs describing their specific experiences with societal mistreatment and persecution as “transandrophobia”, like i think it’s good to be able to discuss specific experiences and articulate the problems you’re facing actually.

#my stuff #literally the main opposition to it i’ve personally seen is that it’s a psyop or w/e to try and ignore that transmisogyny is a thing #or that it implies men as a class are persecuted despite y’know. the patriarchy #and i think those points ignore A: The same ppl IVE seen talking about transandrophobia ALSO talk abt transmisogyny bc solidarity forever #n B: Men may not be an oppressed class but there are unique things that suck about being perceived as a man by others #or having that perception be conditional or vital to your physical safety #i remember what it was like being a terrified tgirl in the men’s locker room trying not to trip the fag radar #i remember how fucking isolating it is for non-men to treat you like a threat or a predator for existing #those things massively suck and transmascs ABSOLUTELY should be able to discuss them and how those experiences are shaped by their transiton #and the degree to which their masculinity or lack thereof #-real or perceived impacts the transphobia they face #everyone having a fucking mortal kombat linguistics hernia over it shutuppppppppppp #trans

It just kills me how he thought he was being discreet.

#I understand he’s trying to hide like his eyes and tattoos and fit and stuff that like sticks out #but at this point #like.. you look like god (or a demon) right now…#he was better off wearing the whole fit and just pretending he was a cosplayer or something #mk1 #mortal kombat #liu kang #mortal kombat 1 #liu kang mk1 #mk Liu kang #Kung Lao rolling up like ‘awesome cosplay man!’ .. Liu kang: …just like I remember #‘can I have a photo !!’ ‘……..n….no.’

Bingqiu is so funny to me like,,, you have sexy man turned into an idea of a tumblr sexyman and uh, some guy that watches instagram reels bc “he could never be a TikTok user”

Asdfghjkl that's exactly what they are. No wonder they're so popular on tumblr XD. Sqq is that one reddit user who swears every week that he's leaving this toxic hole for good and you know you'll find him mere hours later arguing pedantry on some incredibly niche sub reddit.

And he's somehow gay married to a guy who underwent an irl sans verse swap with his evil version. Who is his 'I can fix him' blorbo. His poor little meow meow. Lbh would have an aesthetic tradwife account, you know the ones where there's some scandal about them actually being insanely rich and in some weird marriage? That's him. His recording room that looks like an offshoot of a small cosy traditional cottage is actually a renovated spare room in his palace quarters.

They're that one meme about their braincells cancelling each other out. They're so stupid I love them.

Thanks for the ask :D!

#Ngl bingqiu is one of those ships that had to grow on me but they did and now I'm here lol #Imagining an au where nothing changes but the world has socmed the whole time. Modern xianxia??#Like they have more modern governments and wildlife reserves and restaurant personality accounts and w/e but it's still swords n stuff #Cultivators are discouraged from socmed as part of the general jianghu separation thing but all the big fish have at least one as a #Matter of PR. Like Yqy and opm trying not to have twitter beef. Lmy is a booktok influencer on the side #This changes nothing about the plot to be clear. This is explicitly so the average mortal can experience the scandal of that one cooking #Channel turning out to be the WHOLE ENTIRE DEMON EMPEROR doing some weird rp (he's not he just genuinely likes cooking)#Sqq's scandals and deaths would be even hotter gossip lmao. Incredibly divisive.#svsss #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #bingqiu #I don't know if I got sidetracked or not lol #ask #answered #answered asks

i made this a few months ago for a discord and i figured i might as well share it here too

#loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #bellum #bellum is kind of a nothing villain but i like him #this image is basically the framework for how i write bellum's relationship with linebeck a lot of the time #the severity and seriousness of 'ruined your life' varies between aus n shit #ironically post-ph is one of the ones where 'ruined your life' is a bit hyperbolic #im in a talkative mood rn so im gonna have a little tag tangent going on #bellum is fun and like with this image you can take him many different ways depending on your own tastes and readings n stuff #recently i pinpointed some character i mightve accidentally based my take of bellum on and it escapes me rn #but i like to have him come off as a sort of brash young god sort of thing whos been very gung-ho about what hes been created to do and #represent and ive def leaned into him acting differently in different aus but backing it up with the idea that. hes immortal and thinks its #fun to try different things hwne he earnestly interacts with and among mortals. like in my crimson king au (the uh. one where he has a #homoerotic relationship with linebeck) his purpose behind masquerading as human and settling for a decidedly slower and more complicated #method of obtaining food and taking control is because he wants to challenge himself after years of just smashing through and taking what h #wants and because hes more interested in the more minute details of mortal interaction and how he could play along for a while #hes a bit more... whimsical? laid-back? something for the most part with linebeck because he's used to being a fuckin demonic god whos #mostly just playing around and not making attachments bc fuck it if he gets bored he can just eat these people and this one guy gets his #mercy and support because he's interesting and useful as a tool (and eventually as a source of genuine friendship. a common theme i seem to #have with bellum [perhaps as an accidental parallel or smth to the spirits n oshus] is him stumbling into finally understanding why #relationships are worth it? like a lot of the time his interactions with linebeck give him a new understanding of humans and he learns to #care about linebeck despite starting off seeing him as just an interested subject to watch or tinker with idk how to describe it #like in post-ph [ig post ph spoilers] as the fourth member of the main cast his main arc is abt kinda being forced to mingle with mortals #and ends up really caring and supporting these people and considering his own role and place in the world after kind of isolating and #surrounding himself with effectively a literal hivemind and loyal monsters and just reacting to outside forces with the intent to consume #and eradicate all danger so ig theres some parallel with linebeck too? bellum is a work in progress he's kinda a weird oc at this point?#when does an existing character stop being that and starts becoming an oc idk. its a weird line here bc bellum has minimal characterization #) anyways. funny meme or whatever. the discord seemed to like it im not used to sharing memes or whatever.#my post

interesting to me when people talk about kirk's fear of getting old in tmp it often seems to be talked about purely in terms of 'not being young anymore' instead of in the context of The Deadly Years where kirk is the only one of those affected to wind up with outright dementia

#N posts stuff #especially bc comparatively kirk actually seems to start experiencing symptoms of dementia before the aging #even reaches a particularly visible progression -- implying that he isn't even 'that old' when he starts to degrade #of course there's arguments to be made that since this was an Illness and not natural aging it's not like it's a Guarantee #that kirk would Still progress into dementia but. it's not like anyone (least of all HIM) knows that for sure #a very frightening peek into your future: you can no longer do the job you love. the people you love forcibly and Publically #remove you from your position bc they do not trust you to fulfill its requirements anymore. there is no time to be kind about it.#you are too confused to even understand Why they have done this to you until after everything is already over #you're one step away from being institutionalized. probable the only reason they Didn't go that far was bc there wasn't Time #but if/When it comes back around. is anything going to be any different? i think it makes a Lot of sense that kirk is #afraid of getting older; it's not a vanity thing for him. anyway.. read Being Mortal by Atul Gawande

In elevators angels r babies at first (this wasn't always true but big bang thought it'd help. With what? The. Stuff.) n while raising them is a group effort often there will be a main caretaker 4 one (one of many angel jobs.) Ator has a soft spot 4 benny cuz he was the main one taking care of benny blob. Good job Ator he's an asshole cuz of you.....

#angel baby fact. they start out as a black blob. they take after the ones around them extremely well n will take shape n personality etc #after them. newer angels are more likely to uhh “mutate'' i suppose n shift in unexpected ways #benny is a relatively newer angel although hes like. old. compared to mortals n stuffs

they should make a trigun stampede fighting game

#mortal kombat / street fighters style #you can choose from like vash meryl roberto and wolfwood #and everyone from the eye of michael #everyone gets their respective weapons n stuff #vash has his guns but is better at defense #he can use his guns but only as a special #wolfwood has his big ol cross of course #zazie has the bugs #it'd be so cool #trigun stampede

Was originally going to have this in the tags of that last post I rb'd but I couldn't condense it down and didn't wanna go off on an unrelated tangent on someone else's post...

I don't know if it's still as much of a thing now as it was, or if it's a niche thing that the people I know grew out of or what, but from an art perspective I heavily side-eye edgelords who insist, for some reason, that 'good gore art should be realistic.'

I am of the firm belief that realism is not necessary to gory/visceral/horror type art at all. It's because it's a fictional medium that you can convey the intensity of a scene without necessarily evoking real actual real traumatic injuries that real life people actually experience. Y'know?

There's no prize for making the Most Medically Accurate visual depiction of a character experience extreme injury (assuming you're not someone who has gone through that experience. you know what i mean). And I say this as someone who loves some juicy gory art!!! I love that shit!!! And like again idk if there's still a sizable chunk of ppl who say or if i am making up a guy here. but like...on the whole it's a very sensitive subject matter. Not something to be taken lightly and no one should feel they have to push themselves beyond what they can stomach for the sake of their art.

#i guess largely im thinking of the case of that...what was it a mortal kombat game i think?#where the ppl working on it looked at so much stuff like that they were traumatized from it #i wanna say there have been other productions that have done this but cant name any others off the top of my head :/#eta like and im not trying to say ppl Shouldnt Ever Make Realistic Art Like This #its more that...there seemed to be this culture of proving oneself thru their desensitization to violence/gore #like. the more blood guts and violence you could stomach and pull off in ur art the Cooler you were than the chumps n wimps who couldnt #bleh i feel like im not making a lot of sense here i hope my point is coming across :/

I think the best way to describe many people's issues with modern day anything, from art, to discussions:

What if you had to use your imagination to conceptualize what the artist intended!? Wouldn't that be fucking nuts!

#Reading comprehension I feel like would fit here #simply not having that flexibility to consider more than a single tunnel vision of an opinion without nuance #some stuff just doesn't make sense to people because you'd have to make them understand so #For example explaining “retro artistry's merits compared to modern” for fucking video games #to someone who only thinks the most recent tech is worth a shit and buys the latest iphone every year #Do you know the magnitude of effort it would take to begin such a concept of existentiality to someone who sonic speeds past acknowledging #mortality #I don't even think you do and I don't think this hyper specific situation exists beyond a few choice encounters but please #can you use your imagination to understand WHAT exactly I mean here #Like it's an undertaking that only grows until you recognize the sheer impossibility of such an effort #and suddenly they have the aura of a mad god with a subject who's existence can never be acknowledged lest you burn that bridge to ash #for everyone's safety #oh and you can just imagine flat textures in Banjo Kazooie are the textures they are. Like grass! It doesn't need a shit ton of sprites to #be grass! It's GRASS! It's GREEN n shit! Cmon we're platforming and grabbing musical notes you don't need vines every 4sec to be in a jungl #Listen to the music fucker!#Doo doo doo doo do do do do do DOO DOO!#smile you fucking idiot #who CARES that you can see the fucking triangles #that's so you can SEE what THINGS ARE #the truest ramble is always in the tags

Why aren't there more shazam x Percy Jackson crossovers. They slap incredibly.

#Batfam this Batfam that #Give Billy camp half-blood and he would die for all of them within 24 hours #They're ALL like him!#like. come on #That was be so good #Percy teaching him to wield a sword! Annabeth researching old myths of him and getting wiggled out #Chiron and cap discussing philosophy and sharing memories of ancient times #Thalia trying so hard to remember that this kid isn't technically a half sibling Jason delighted to ruffle his hair n share lightning trick #Bulky sharing stories of wonder women with reyna who looks up to her #I KNOW Jason especially would sibling adopt so fast #Nico breaking into his sleeping spot regularly with food and stuff Sally gave him for them both #SALLY JACKSON OKAY #older camp kids sharing stories of homelessness. Challenging Billy - not cap - to get to the top of the lava wall #Cap chaperoning visits to the mortal world and reading signs for the dyslexic peeps #Percy and Annabeth tell him they carried atlas burden and he is in AWE #Monsters start causing drama and when the jl are freaking out cap steps up like nah I know some guys #*summons swarm of slightly ratty teens with Greek armour and weapons* GO FORTH MY WARRIORS #Batman asks if Jason is caps kid and they're both SO offended #Frank suggests Billy go to camp jupiter for uni and they're super accommodating for hero shenanigans and Billy cries #Cap and pjo would do each other SO MUCH GOOD #shazam #captain marvel #Pjo #percy jackson #pjo hoo toa #Dc #justice league #The potential FLUFF. The potential ANGST. The FOUND FAMILY #shazamily #dp x dc
