honestly i never really understand the impulse to make doppelgangers/doubles/mirrors of people different to their counterparts, even subtly, at least in terms of appearance (personality is another beast entirely). for me, the horror of the doppelganger isn't that it's a monstrous, twisted thing with malevolent intent wearing a creepy imitation of you or your loved ones' faces, but that it makes you question what could possibly be deficient in you that makes you something less than "good enough" and coming up empty - because whatever it is, it's beyond your capacity to even conceive of. you are the architect of your own annihilation. your greatest obstacle has always been yourself. this other version of you, or someone whose existence affirms yours, is fundamentally no different - they're just not you, and therein lies the answer. your jealousy and self-loathing will ruin you without the imposter having to ever do a thing.

#🐉#like as a paranoid person paranoia is fucking terrifying! but combining that with insecurity is what really fucking demolishes you #the double kane/lena scene in annihilation gets to me every time because its the totality of despair #that just the sight of the doppelganger provokes that raises every hair on the back of my neck #as lena says. it didnt *want* anything. but itll replace you anyway. and in the face of that you might just give up and let it.#man i love doppelgangers. my favourite horror trope fr.

what if i broke all the bones in your legs actually

#ramble #please let this be a fucking joke #i cannot imagine being this out of touch #YEAH IT'S ALMOST LIKE ART TAKES FUCKING EFFORT AND THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DO ENJOY IT ACTUALLY #the phrase 'labour of love' exists for a reason #i sat and watched my grad film on repeat for days when it was done bc i was so proud that my hundreds of hours paid off #I DON'T MAKE ART TO SIT AND LOOK AT IT #I MAKE IT BECAUSE I PUT TIME AND LOVE INTO IT AND I GET TO LOOK AT IT AND BE LIKE I MADE THAT WITH MY HANDS!!! AND MY BRAIN #GOD FORBID YOU PUT A SECOND OF WORK INTO ANYTHING IN YOUR FUCKING LIFE ANYMORE YOU USELESS FUCK????#i'm so sorry i'm unreasonably mad about this #is it crazy for me to say that you should have to do some things in your life?????? god forbid you read your own emails #what are you DOING how fucking LAZY can you be????#and that is NOT a word i ever want to use but this is the DEFINITION of lazy #kids with adhd aren't lazy. tech bros wanting the exact same things that people have worked years for at the push of a button are lazy #i actually need to go and put my face in grass i'm so upset #thankfully. basically every musician who saw this shut it the fuck down and told him he was an idiot so that's nice

additional thoughts on why they had better stick to sword drills: Liu Qingge would doki-doki himself into a qi deviation and Shen "middle sibling" Qingqiu would immediately ruin his ~aloof immortal~ persona

#svsss #liushen #liu qingge #shen qingqiu #would sqq beat lqg in an actual fight? no.#would sqq succeed in winning exactly once because there's no world in which lqg is prepared for how dirty sqq will fight #once it's a wrestling match and he's having flashbacks to his older siblings trying to pin him and subsequently bluescreens when #sqq fucking licks him in order to get him to let go? yes.#neither of them are going to recover from that. it can never ever EVER be mentioned again for very different reasons #sqq is beyond embarrassed his face is too thin for this #lqg is lying awake at night reliving it #my art

Hell yeah, Let's go genderfluid FISH

Originally was going to be a simple colored sketch but I went overboard lmfao, bonus comic:

Lesson learnt, if you're having people try on dresses you made, don't have the judges be the said people's partners because they will die on the spot.

Also bonus doodle of my friend asking if Azul would like a bouquet (asking for a friend):

Birds of a Feather previous / next

#my art #feralnette au #birds of a feather #long tags #sorry I went apeshit in the tags #LETS SAY IT ALL TOGETHER NOW #I - M - A - G - OOOOOOOOO #its fun drawing marinette's back to Alya and having her appear stout and unstoppable and totally logical #and then you see her face and she's like two seconds from completely snapping and is keeping it together by a thread #as a note just because mari feels very certainly abt smth doesnt mean she's right. feelings can be valid and also irrational #in the throes of grief she decided it was better to be alone than to lose someone again so she started pulling away #and lila made pulling away very very very easy to do #shes also vaguely aware she's being unfair in pinning this on alya which is why she started spinning the drain on cockmoth again #legitimately all the shit that's happened to her wouldn't have been so catastrophic if he was never in the picture and she knows it #but the bitterness of her bestie choosing a fantastic liar over her at the worst of times stiiiiiings #alya's personal timing was bad but lila really took advantage of the fact that marinette had been acting off and weird #she basically clocked marinette as being unstable from SOMETHING and made up a lie about her #knowing she wouldn't have the strength to defend herself #between her social life going tachy bc of lila and losing fu in a way that felt like personhood death marinette was really put on the spot #and alya doing her thing of busting in there and assuming her bias is correct was a terrible combo #essentially marinette is highly unstable and alya is just realizing that #busting in and giving her a lecture when she's slightly hysterical and definitely delirious from exhaustion is NOT the way #to show her she's self sabotaging #cuz thats just gonna make her double down on self sabotaging. bc marinette will not accept that she is also a CHIIIIILD

So like. Did anyone else notice that Jayce doesn't immediately shoot Viktor? He only powers his hammer on AFTER Viktor has opened his eyes. Below is Jayce's reaction to seeing Viktor (his Viktor, from his universe, not the future version of him) for the first time after walking into the dome. For the first time in months. That's like. A look of wonder. Almost reverence.

Assuming the Jinx/Rictus/Vander fight is cut to real-time after Jayce has gone into the dome, he's staring at Viktor for like. 5 minutes.

My interpretation here, of Jayce's expression just before Viktor finally opens his eyes to see Jayce in the room with him, he's committing Viktor to memory, before he has to kill him.

Edit: I almost missed it but like. HE IS SMILING For like 2 frames it's an outright smile. He leans in towards him, too. I cannot handle this.

#Arcane Spoilers #jayvik #arcane #arcane season 2 #Jayce Talis #Viktor Arcane #arcane analysis #ok not quite 5 minutes but like 3 minutes #the first glance is like almost a smile? he wants to be happy to see him #He doesn't want to kill him #But he's seen the horrors this will lead to so he has to #And potentially Future!Vik is controlling him to some extent?#At least that's what this universe's Viktor sensed I guess with Jayce's interaction with Salo #But like. Let's be honest #Salo has a VERY punchable face #Jayce just got to whack-a-mole his ass #GOD every frame of this show is a work of art #It's so fucking good #Also not me finishing out the episode even though I was just looking for Jayvik screenshots #Because Isha's final sequence with her memories with Jinx is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful #I've seen it so many times but it never fails to make me cry #Nabexis thinks

I don’t think we’ve ever seen you draw knight of dawn before 🤔 what are your thoughts about him? Or take?

I've drawn him a couple of times, just really little/in the background. but I should draw him more, I love this guy a lot! I have many, many thoughts about him and the way he parallels Silver...and also I think it is extremely funny that his ghost is stuck in a ring. especially considering where that ring has been for the last 16-ish years.
