the restrained sniffer

#a doodley #anthro #furry #this 100% works more with their human forms but i am not immune to funny kitty #though i guess ''to wear'' doubles as like wearing.... it as a blanket...#sorry its so awkwardly broken up...tumblr allows so many pics so i get to make sure all the nice details are front and center #anyway im an overexplainer and in the past ive gotten so nervous about Action in my little comics #like. how will people know a character did [thing] if i dont show them doing it!!!!!#so this was also a mini exercise in omitting action...like i didnt waste panels drawing talon pulling the shirt on #or al putting on his horn toppers #finally; i had another related doodle idea i never drew out but might now if i remember to....#but wrt smunker's pillowcase and a resulting incident #point being Talon is a smell enjoyer...

siffrin starts the game with oddly empty pockets for a rogue who has a habit of stashing away every little trinket that isn't nailed down

Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.

Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!

AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).

Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.

All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

#challengers #challengers spoilers #art donaldson #unfortunately i have once again zeroed in on the most repressed character and made them my favorite #lol @ all the people saying he’s a manipulative snake: that’s part of what makes him great!#i think a fair amount of that manipulation or attempts at it come from a fear of loss and being alone #if he has to lose one to keep the other he’ll do it because it’s better than being left behind #hoo boy yet another character trait my fucked up faves have in common 😬#let’s not even get into how tashi AND patrick are trying to do right by him #tashi by making it so he can retire with a career to be proud of #patrick (who was pissed on art’s behalf wrt throwing the match) by laying all his cards on the table (court)#and giving art what he needed to play a great fucking game #there’s a whole other post to be written about how tashi and patrick handle art in similar ways #specifically that he submits to them so easily they take charge of him manipulate him the ways they want #good lord i need to see this movie again #or not might not be conducive to keeping my brain from melting out my ears lol

Once you stop thinking about queer people's labels as strict indications of what's in their pants and who they do/don't bed and instead view queer people's labels as how they interact with the world, you'll find that you'll get along with queer people better and treat them better, I think.

#queer #lgbt #lgbtq #like of course some people use labels in the way i described first and i don't think that's inherently bad...#...but like. as a trans person i hate when people try to like... use my labels (or their labels they force on me) to say what's in my pants #i think there's a fone line between somebody using a label in the first way i described and somebody forcing their understanding of other...#...people onto them. like.#i think it can be a small shift in thought but it's helpful #it reminds me of the shirt that went around of the boston dyke march (<3) shirt design...#...which basically listed who was welcomed at the march and it was a super long list #if anybody is wondering what i'm talking about wrt the last two tags i have the image on hand

not dead not alive but a secret third thing

#dragon age #dao #my ocs #ailill mahariel #my special little guy who is dead #iirc the Lore says the blight as a disease varies wrt effects #so i think it's feasible my weak and sickly victorian orphan of a man could have begun ghoulification in like a week #anyway. wardens can have a little tapetum lucidum as a treat #also shoutout to the person who tagged my last post w them ‘GOTH ELF GOTH ELF GOTH ELF’ u understand my vision #like this feels very Edgy OC TM but you know what I’m leaning into it I’m embracing it #my art

the new nightmare is cool but i think not putting them in hanfu was an missed opportunity

(+ long hair version that i wasn't as sure about)

#i was going to give barbatos the Long Flowing Locks but he strikes me as the type who WOULD adhere to the tie-it-all-up rule #but then he looked bald so i gave him a bit of leeway. i mean even a lot of cdramas don't follow the rule #then satan's hair is more wuxia novel protagonist (which i feel suits him) and solomon's is unfortunately all inside his hat #well the long hair is for authenticity (lol) not Hot Boy Look anyway #art #obey me #obey me barbatos #obey me solomon #obey me satan #jtta ik #anyway wrt the new nightmare: barbatos's outer robe (dachang) DOES look like hanfu #but then he takes it off in the deflowered look and it's. idk. a sexy gongfu vest??? satan too #not that i have anything AGAINST that but if you're gonna do chinese fashion i feel like hanfu is a shoe-in #based off the previews for celestial blessing i'm assuming diavolo+lucifer+asmo will be in the second nightmare for this event #and both parts of a nightmare usually follow a theme so most likely it'll be kung fu clothes 2 electric boogaloo BUT i will hold hop #if anyone should be in hanfu it's those three. lucifer for that cold elegance dia for that regal charm and asmo for that Beautiful Princess #regardless i will probably be drawing them in hanfu anyway. in fact i already have the idea for it #it'll be ddvd because i NEED to put zhao in beautiful clothes for once. and also i really want to draw something in earnest for this au

Idea for pin design of Ponyo's parents.

Bonus colorways inspired by OC's (Sirena and Teutho) >.>

#ponyo #wrt OC colorways: I like them in their canon colors but I think the more limited palette would be more popular :thinking emoji:#wip

sketch page time, but make it medieval! I was messing around with a composition for a knight, and the blacksmith and the jester and also the lady (who is an assassin) were some early early early ideas for characters! someday they may even exist in a story that has a plot.

⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / tip jar!

#I got Several Requests for the medieval genre so we’re continuing the queue with another entry into the genre #generic medieval tag #I keep thinking about doing something with lesbian nuns in honor of the lesbian nuns but a friend suggested making them an assassin #so now I’m turning new Possibilities around in my head #we’ll see! the blacksmith and jester were about thoughts i had wrt to medieval taxes and espionage #not so much a queue as this is a blender of scheduled posts set for random hours #<< the queue tag because it’s not really a queue. I’ll delete it when I return from freelancing and commission work

If Harry’s tragedy is that he can’t go on like this but he has to, Kim’s tragedy is that he doesn’t have to go on like this but he will.

#disco elysium #Anyone about to write an essay on this wrt. Kim’s capacity for change: yes. That’s the problem.#Harry is stuck in the RCM because a lifetime of disability and a lack of outside support have rendered him unable to adapt #Kim is stuck in the RCM because hes too fucking adaptable. He copes too well with his adverse circumstances to recognise when he should dip #The cage is open the window is thrown wide he’s just built a nest in there and the cats don’t swat at it enough to make him want to leave #Anyway was thinking about this after someone posted about the no recruiting Kim ending. Sad for them! They need each other a little!#(Harry’s cage is also open but it’s suspended from a 60ft tree and he is a legless penguin)#(“You can just leave” onlookers call up to him “come down here. go hang out in the shack with the other flightless birds. It’ll be fine”)#(Not really accounting for how he’s supposed to get down there in the first place)

Pac: I'm just gonna lay down here while you guys build, you know? I'm gonna- just gonna enjoy the moment, you know, it's such a good view here.

Tubbo: Lemme just- oh wait wait wait, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down.

Pac: I'm gonna... ok?

Tubbo: Just- just lay down... [Las Casualonas dances on him] This is for you, this is for you, king.

Fit: [Immediately pulls out his potato cannon and shoots Tubbo]

Pac: [Laughs] Fit, you seeing this- [Laughs as Tubbo gets shot and set on fire]

Fit: [Still shooting Tubbo] I'm sorry, I'm sorry, misfire, misfire, misfire!

Tubbo: OW OW OW, you're gonna kill me, I only have 10 hearts!

Fit: [Still shooting Tubbo] Misfire, misfire, misfire!

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]

Tubbo: Fit, I'm so close to death-

Fit: I'm so sorry- oh Tubbo I'm so sorry [Hitting Tubbo with his scythe]

Pac: Oh my god, Fit!

[Tubbo dies]

Pac: FIT! Oh my god, the misclick...

Fit: I don't know what- it was a misclick!

Pac: Oh Fit, your keyboard is broken, right? Remember?

Fit: Yeah, it was a misclick, Pac, you saw it, you witnessed it, yeah.

Pac: Oh my god, it's the first time he has been like- oh probably not the first time, you see the skeleton right here? Right there?

Fit: [Laughs]

Pac: [Laughs] Fit, are you doing this every day? Are you killing Tubbo every day?

Fit: No I- this was my [embarrassed] first time killing him.... No, it was just-

Pac: ARE YOU SURE? Then who killed-

Fit: I don't know where the other dead body came from!

Pac: [Laughing] Oh my god...

Tubbo: I didn't peg you as the jealous type, FitMC.

Fit: I'm sorry, I just- it was a misclick- a misfire-

#FitMC #QSMP #PacTW #HideDuo #FitPac #Tubbo #Pac #Fit #I love them. I love them so much #love me a good slowburn with a little bit of protective jealousy thrown in #but also Fit you have nothing to worry about wrt Tubbo and his puppy love #Which I think q!Fit now knows because he didn't kill Tubbo when he called Pac sexy a few days ago #anyways WHOOPS this is very late #September 1 2023 #EDIT: missed a ''didn't'' in there. Fixed now

sforza siblings :)

just. scribbling out galeazzo and ascanio, during one of ascanio's visits back home. somewhere between 1473-1475, probably

#italian renaissance tag #i want to draw them hunting together but i realized i dont know anything about. hunting. wrt this context specifically #so that comic will have to wait until i finish reading this book on akhenaten. i gotta do Actual Research for that comic #but not until i finish reading about akhenaten #i should probably add mccall's making the renaissance man onto my research list instead of my fun reading list #i saw ludovico sforza mentioned in the table of contents and i do love the sforzas #tragically. you pay bills and suddenly $35 for a book feels intimidating. the economy & jobs market is in shambles etc #anway. the things i would do for a collection of sforza sibling letters all collected in one place and also in my hands Right Now #drawing tag

Periodic reminder that unless a person specifically and clearly tells you it is okay to tell others they are trans or queer, you should err on the side of caution and assume they do not want you to tell people (especially random people!) about their transness or queerness.

You have no idea, generally, why somebody doesn't talk openly about their trans or queer status, and you have no idea, truly, how somebody might react to that information. The most progressive person out there is still capable of harbouring incredibly negative thoughts about somebody's queer status.

#lesbian #gay #bi #bisexual #trans #transgender #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #ally advice #inspired after somebody at work outed me (again ×3)#i don't care how 'safe' you assume they will be! you cannot TRULY guarantee their safety!#you are effectively gambling with somebody's safety by assuming you can out them #also even if their safety was somehow 100% guaranteed it is still not your place to dictate what others know about THEM #like it isn't your own information you are giving out. the other person is a real human being with real thoughts...#...and there are real ramifications to your actions! this is like... real life and like... real people #anyway. i'm still fucking horrified at how cool people are (at least wrt me) with outing others 🙃🫠#and it just... further reminds me that others see me as like... a thing to be talked about/over and i'm not seen as an autonomous human #maybe that's not their intentions 9/10 times but that still doesn't justify it nor does it change how i interpret that behaviour 👍#it's just dehumanizing imo to be reminded 'your comfort DOESN'T MATTER. i think you should be talked ABOUT not TO.'#clarification for the first tag: this is the THIRD time somebody has outed me. i NEVER talk about being trans to... pretty much ANYBODY irl #it's shit like this that i have to resist taking the 'doompill' over #because it's scary and dehumanizing every. single. time. i feel so fucking scared each time #because - AGAIN - i know my safety will NEVER be guaranteed because i am trans and queer

just saw a take that basically said its islamophobic that greeks dont culturally identify w the empire that conquered them, occupied them n forced their culture on them. now i can retire from the internet bc ive officially seen everything

#like there is plenty to say abt ethnonationalism n reactionism in hellenic revival movements but apparently none of u guys can b normal #if those greeks werent so damn racist they wouldve accepted the colonizer's culture as superior and embraced it 🙄#also since this is the piss on the poor website. not saying sometimes ppl arent racist abt the ottoman empire or that greeks cant b racist #but like imagine if ppl said that abt literally any other indigenous community (bc greeks were v much indigenous wrt ottoman imperialism)#again the leftist horseshoe logic where u take some valid points n issues n take them so far it turns into racism again

people being like "hunter needs structure and stability" respectfully hunter DOES need stability - in that he needs an environment where he's no longer afraid of the people around him & is confident that he'll always have a safe place to stay n safe people to call - but the kid absolutely DOES NOT need structure. if anything hunter needs LESS structure. this is mister "teens are probably into the same things as me, like authority and rules" please be nice to him.

my absolute favorite hunter darius dynamic is one with like, hunter asking to stay out late on a school night or whatever bc luz has some cool-as-shit event happening in the human world that he wants to attend & darius is just like "you can do whatever you want forever" & hunter's like "aren't you...??? going to....??? give me a curfew????"

darius: why would you need a curfew?

hunter: because i-! what if i'm TIRED before SCHOOL

darius: then you can skip a day.

hunter: [HORRIFIED GASP]

darius: kid. look. you already extensively weighed the risks and benefits of going to this thing on a school night. right?

hunter: ......i did make three charts.

darius: and you determined that the benefits outweigh the risks. with your three charts

hunter: .....yes

darius: ok.

hunter:

darius: so.

hunter:
