A theme in my life right now: am I experiencing Symptoms or am i just Like That

[thedawningofthehour]

So, this isnt an ask, this isnt even something I wanna gush about regarding your writing BUT…idk its funny, this fanfic did smth to me so now I had this DREAM: Leo wakes up (probably from some coma, man I am at the edge of my seat to see what happens to him next) and Casey Jr (makes no sense, but thats dreams ig) reads him a get well soon card from Marcus. Leo asks him where Marcus was and my dream mind switched to this beautiful panel of a big tree but suddenly theres three little graves underneath and Casey tells Leo that Marcus died. The kids fucking died because idk I guess maybe some sickness went around and Leo wasnt there to help (not like he has the medical knowledge and resources to really help in severe situations) and that made me sad, lmao I had to write this before I forgot about the dream, but YOU, YOUR FIC did smth to me😭

No shit, when I first read this I went "who's Marcus?"

He's one of my own damn kids.

I know this is war and shit and kids die in war, but I think we might Bethesda game this shit and just say kids are unkillable. Because look, I killed a bunch of my darlings in my Dishonored fic, I let a number of named, developed characters die even though I loved them because that was the kind of fic it was. Life is harsh, war is hell, and innocent people die.

I don't really want to do that here. That's not the genre.

A number of people have said doth has given them dreams, I'm flattered. :) I had one really fucking crazy dream a few months back, not specifically about doth but sort of? Some EPF-like assholes had taken over a shopping mall and a bunch of mutants were like, living in hovels on the rooftop? (as opposed to, you know, somewhere else?) There was some random old lady living next to or near Donnie and Bella was there. And Camp Snoopy, which-I think that's just because my earliest experiences at a mall was my parents taking me to Camp Snoopy, so something in my brain says that malls must have indoor theme parks. But Bella like charged into Camp Snoopy like a fucking battle maiden because Bishop was set up near the tree flyer and shit. It's kind of a shame I didn't have my logic processors during that because that could have been cool as shit, have the mutants take over the log chute or something. Maybe have Donnie bring the giant Paul Bunyan to life. They could have built a whole fort out of Legoland, like, a bomb wouldn't be able to get through a thick Lego wall.

HAHAHAHA Every Turk Family has one of those names and unironically mine does too 🫡 Tell your mother thank you she is a very lovely lady

I know all of the artists you listed below because my dad blasts them on the radio everytime we go out... I call it old people music but hey I never said it was bad, they're awesome and I might have memorised some of the artist's songs from how much I listen to them... Barış Manço is a classic without a doubt! Fun fact my parents were able to go to his concert and got a signed picture with him I will always envy how lucky they were 😭 I love how women in the industry made the most iconic songs I hear them often in weddings too! Or clubs, even though I only went to one once I'm not very fond of them...

My questions were do you have any tips or inspiration with how you draw! I love your art and artstyle and it's honestly what I've been trying to achieve for a while, I can't believe I'm learning how to draw men because of a silly lawyer show it's a disease...

(We are just having a conversation at this point) (I feel like those people who speak out loud in public) (I hope you and anyone who's reading this is having a good day :) be kind to yourself and others everyone)

OH MY GOD i envy them too😭😭 also omg that sounds like heaven to me. the other day i went out partying and i felt sooo out of place because i only knew like 3 songs. omg it was so so bad.

hmmm tips and inspiration…. my number 1 tip would definitely be to look at a lot of other artists you like and analyze what exactly you like. and then try to emulate that in your own work. i try to look for inspiration everywhere - artists online, traditional artists, old masters, 3d artists, even theatre and poetry, etc. - doesnt mean that i am equally inspired by them all (because all these things at once sound so scary and big but they really arent!) but rather, i try to be open for anything and that helps me find inspiration :) 

ill try to explain my thoughts more under the cut because this got long:

for me for example, so far i only posted some art i made that was lined (which, i would say makes up maybe half of the art i draw - i mostly sketch and recently have been building up the courage to paint more) and one of my inspirations is meltow. i think if you go over and check out their art youll definitely see it lol. but also i love the clean look some comics have and my friends tell me my art looks like it belongs in a comic which, i guess yeah :) when it comes to colors and composition i LOVE this artists works. i still have a lot to learn and just looking at their works inspires me so much!!!

i will say i have ALWAYS struggled with lineart. its probably the worst thing in the world to me because it never feels right!!! i like lining on paper with harsh inks and stiff ink nibs that allow for like. very little variety in line weight, but i havent done that in over 3 years (i hope i can get back to that). but yes, something about lineart makes me feel so icky when i use any brush that reacts to the pressure you put on your tablet LOL i just hate it. ugh. i havent been able to work it out.

it was only in 2020 i think that i decided to try it out with a thick brush with some texture and no pen pressure. that probably was the first time i got actual lineart that (at the time) i liked done. and then later on, discovering that other artists are able to achieve beautiful drawings with similar brushes AND that lining with a very simple brush can feel so satisfying helped me evolve a lot! until 2022, i actually wasnt able to give my art the kind of finished look that i wanted. so what people consider my style is really just born out of my limits and working with them. that obviously doesnt mean that i dont try to challenge myself as much as i can. i do and i think everyone should! thats what makes art so fun

if theres any good advice i can give to a beginner itd probaaaaably be. okay this is difficult and i feel like im not really qualified for this. as a hobbyist much less so because a lot of the knowledge and skills i acquired was through an intuitive process (i could never stick with habits such as regular studies or warmups or whatever is meant to be good for you) which definitely isnt the most “productive” way but i mean it doesnt have to be. its just a hobby! you dont have to perfect art. but yes, i would definitely say dont stop drawing. youll always be your harshest critic and at the beginning, and especially if you begin at an older age because youve been training your eye your whole life but your drawing skills for only a relatively short time you will notice a lot of mistakes. and youll think you wont achieve the image you have in your head. and maybe you wont (because youll always strive for more and youll never really be satisfied as an artist bla bla) for a while. but you have to keep drawing! try out different strategies, find out how other artists draw, watch speedpaints, try out different papers and pencils, try everything that makes it more fun and keep going! it will all pay off!! 

in my eyes theres also no point in saying “i should wait till im better to draw this idea i have” because if inspiration strikes you you should use that. even though i still sometimes catch myself thinking like that. you can always redraw things later on!! if theres anything that will keep you drawing you should use that! like getting into shows and games that make me want to draw helps a ton LOL people are not joking when they say getting obsessed with one character is the quickest way to improve. i 100% agree!!! if you saw my first nachos you wouldnt even recognize him. not kidding wow this got long. thank you for the questions though!! i hope some of my rambling can help you. feel free to talk to me whenever!

Legacy s2 ep 22

Probably one of my favourite episodes??? I think one of the first that I ever saw

Strong Saw vibes from the beginning

This is the ep where they all watch Chaplin together at the end and it's so cute

Hotch and Gideons friendship was great.

Hotch's face when Morgan calls Chaplin "the original player" 😂

JJ is such a pack rat; her office is a mess but it's something no one ever talks about and I love her for it because always seems so put together but then her office looks like a tornado hit it

The guy who brings JJ the case in this ep really reminds me of George from Greys like he just cares so much

63 people. This episode is truly tragic

The compulsion of this guy to put his little notebooks in piles as the team are going through them

"Unless we're officially asked, we can't help you" come on Hotch we all know better than that

The brown lipstick on JJ 👏👏👏 excellent choice

"The only witness to this might be mentally unstable" JJ please point me in the direction of someone who is mentally stable. I'll wait

"As someone I greatly respect suggested" 😭😭😭

Em being annoyed that their hands are tied by jurisdictional concerns is a mood, the integrity of this woman honestly

The Saw vibes only intensify throughout this episode I swear

When she falls onto the glass 🤮🤮🤮 honest to god one of the worst scenes in 15 seasons

Oh I wanna help you honey 😭 feel so bad for her

JJs hair always looks so soft like she's a literal angel from heaven how does one look like that

And we're back to the glass and honestly she's just lucky she was fully covered because imagine falling into that glass in a dress 🤮

"They promoted me to keep me away from the general public" 😂 poor bby

Hotch in Boss Man mode 😝

"Hotch it's federal" 💁‍♀️ yes it is JJ you go girl you tell him

The old man snuff film makes me so sad

'Sheila May' is not a great name for a baby I'm so sorry to anyone with this name. Maggie, however, is adorable

Morgan always shakes hands with the local PD, Emily and Reid never do. Just something I've noticed

There are also Labyrinth vibes when Maggie is trying to find her way out of the facility and pinning doors open behind her. Reminds me of Sarah drawing on stones with lipstick. They both say "its not fair", too

I don't actually remember what this unsub looks like now that I'm thinking about it🤔

"Slaughterhouse" ominous

Emily's brown coat >>

Reidnojce ahain neing hit on by prostitutes

Derek Morgan i love u 💖💖💖 "this world needs all of its beautiful ladies and that means you too mama"

Emily and Derek 😍 "you're a good guy?" "You think?"

"Reid got propositioned by every prostitute we talked to..." Hotch's sense of humour is so underrated

Emily cutting into the Alpha Male debate like ok boys calm down lets focus >>>>

Morgan literally diving into the van to stop him from driving away. When I say I love this man with my whole heart

I forgot about the scary doberman puppy. Revelations flashbacks

Of course she falla down the stairs. They always fall down the stairs.

I hate this scene where shes crawling towards the door and it closes. Unsubby does not play fair at all

Hotch in a red tie 😍😍😍 yes daddy

This guy just shouting his mouth off is not exercising his right to remain silent

Hotch scaring this first unsub guy. Scary Hotch is scary

"His father died last year" thats the stressor🤓

Hotch's eyebrows do half of his talking for him I swear. He talks more with his eyebrows than Em does and that's truly saying something

They literally all put bullets in him simultaneously like shall we talk about overkill my guys?

Weird that I don't remember what he looks like when she specifically asks to see his face

Noteworthy: This is the second episode in a row where the victim claims they've "won"

Slow mo walk out of the room: emily struts like no other and I love and appreciate her for it

Team watching Chaplin together >>>>>

JJ sitting like a bisexual

The girls throwing popcorn at Reid >>>

Reid sitting so close to the screen >>>>

I love them all do much.

The end x
