ive definitely talked abt this before, but i literally cannot relate to the posts that are like "ohhh you guys ship them romantically when theyre soo much more interesting as friends". i contain multitudes. i think they are best friends. i think they are lovers. i think they are soulmates in a way that cant be categorised. these statements dont conflict.

#tell me youve never seen veth brenatto and caleb widogast interact ever without telling me that.#and by i think theyre friends i think theyre lovers #sure i mean at the same time but i also mean separately #like #you dont have to believe one thing abt a pair of characters #you can change the context of their relationship as many times as you want #and the holier than thou I Am So Much Better Than You Shippers discourse is honestly so grating.#'but it waters down their characters!!' translation: i dont like when people play with my toys wrong >:(((#we go on and on about people mischaracterising our favourite blorbos in the same way we talk about like. domestic terrorism.#calm down. unfollow people. curate your dash. dumbass.#charlie.txt

i love being late to trends. my new years resolution is to be late to every trend ever. and you know im serious because im even late to new years.

(theres an inverse version of this by @chamiryokuroi , you should go check it out! i started making this before i saw theirs, but i think its cool that now theres both versions)

#art #fanart #digital art #dc comics #bernard dowd #timber #timbern #tim drake #tim drake fanart #bernard dowd fanart #red robin #red robin fanart #dc fanart #i dont usually do more graphic styles like this so it was a fun challenge #theres so many little parts to the original that i had to notice and include #i didnt wanna download or make my own heart and star stamps just to use them maybe 6 times each so those are all hand drawn #i adjusted the colors of the heart outlines like 6 times before i was satisfied #also the fact that bernard has a red jacket and pink shirt in this changes the color profile completely so i had to change some things about #-the OG colors so it fit in well #but im happy to report that i didnt use any major blend mode layers over everything at the end to get the colors to mesh well #which is a thing ive been doing for a long time but isnt very conducive to actually learning color theory #also also i spent like a full 45 minutes trying to get the text to look right #bc i dint have whatever font that is so i had to improvise with the fonts i did have and a little bit of editing #and then i had to duplicate it for the shadow and outline it and everything #it was pretty fun tho #seeing the end product was especially satisfying #i havent read ‘go for it nakamura!’ but i assume from context clues the little squid things on the cover are-#-calling him a simp/being supportive wingmen so i replaced them with steph and dick #who i imagine are watching bernard and tim’s relationship like a soapy romcom #and occasionally heckling them (affectionately!) when theyre being lovey-dovey

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking.#nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose.#isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #----------------------------------------------------------------------#anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!)#which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around)#and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt)#and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine)#the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly.#but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief)#as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

sits bolt upright in bed. buck putting in for a transfer WAS originally going to happen in 8.17. because part of the synopsis for that episode was “buck contemplates where he’s supposed to be” and there was that whole conversation with gerrard that they cut. at the time i was thankful (and honestly i still am, i wouldn’t have wanted another part of 8.17 cut) but i’m 99% sure that’s when it was supposed to be introduced

#it all comes back to the pacing and filming schedule #and actually now i’m still confused bc i assume 8.17 would still have ended with buck surrounded by his family?#but maybe with that added context buck would have interpreted pepa’s thing about Change to be encouragement about transferring #he’s. so messed up #baby you need to talk to someone #911 abc #8.17

On your most recent From the Couch post... is that a dragon tattoo I see poking out of Zuko's collar? ...................may we see more of it?

You may see all of it.

#dema answers #atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #atla fanart #atla art #prince zuko #tales from the couch #atla modern au #atla au #zuko art #zuko fanart #atla zuko #Tattooed Zuko #For context!#He got those tattoos during what would be S2 in this AU #This was right before being accepted back home. So he got them during a—let's say—crossroads of destiny *wink wink*#Those are his shame tattoos. He's terribly embarrassed by them so the Gaang tease him about them. (He's secretly very proud of them tho)#It's all about the duality inherent to fire (and himself!) as well as protection.#The red dragon has his back at all times. It protects Zuko from his past—from everything that he has left behind and is walking away from.#The Blue dragon guards him front unknown threats. It curls over his left arm (his most vulnerable side) and rests its head over Zuko's heart #It's all very symbolic #Zuko loves his tattoos but is also embarrassed and ashamed of how he got them. He was in a very bad place at the time.#If he got the chance to get his tattoos done *now*—he probably wouldn't do it.#He wouldn't change a thing tho. They're part of who he is. A reminder of who he was.#Also they're kinda hot #So that helps #Also...I forgot to draw the blue dragon's body on the back of his shoulder so... Oops?#Let us all ignore that and focus on the sun/starbust tattoo on his chest instead #the gaang

DPxDC Prompt #18

Inspired by reading this prompt from @nerdpoe and my brain randomly deciding to mash it with this prompt and reblog from @stealingyourbones and @moodycow210. Basic premise is the Nerdpoe prompt with the backstory of the Bones prompt. Do read those for full context of what my brain was trying to do here.

Danny was sent on a mission by Clockwork and missed his window back home, getting stuck in a vast, dark (twilight), oceanic place; with only the company of fish-like beings that can only communicate empathically very basic desires and intents.

After a while of panic and searching for a way back, he ultimately settles in and waits for rescue, occupying his time by playing with and training his powers. He discovers an ability to shapeshift and decides to make his form into something more comfortable and camouflaged for where he is.

The form he settles in to is somewhere between human and fish. Hands and claws and fins and webbing and gills.

It saves his life when Danny loses his hold on his ghost form, discovering that the changes transferred over to his living self.

And Danny waits.

And waits.

And drifts along, avoiding the attention of anything with teeth and intent to eat, while searching for his own meal.

And forgets what he's waiting for.

Danny has been there so long now. His memories of before are nothing but vague, indistinct impressions. Like the shadow of the other creatures that sometimes brush against his own. When the green, swirling thing appears in front of him, he almost swims away from it. But something about it brushes him, like those shadows of before. It calls to him, urges him to approach, to swim through.

On the other side of the green thing is light. So much light. It's so bright. And full of fish. More fish and more light than he can remember ever seeing before. The other fish swim around, swimming with a suffocating shadow of urgency and fear. And the green thing is gone.

Confused and disoriented, he cannot avoid the massive thing, like a strange tangle of kelp vines, sweeping through the water collecting anything that does not avoid it's path. It pulls him and many fish up and up and up. To a place too heavy to swim, where some instinct has him changing the way he breathes from his gills to his mouth and nostrils. He didn't know he could do that. And yet, some part of him is quite certain that he did.

There are strange shapes beyond the strange vines. They bark noises that brush against those shadows of memory, but he does not understand them. He should, he knows he should. He should understand a lot more about this situation than he does. But he doesn't.

"Is that one of them fish people?"

"Looks like it. Seems a young one too."

"Should we toss it back?"

"Why? Pretty little fish, bet we could find a buyer. He oughta fetch a pretty penny. Might even get nough to actually retire."

#DPxDC #DPxDC prompt #Less a prompt and more a ficlet free for continuations but -eh- semantics #Check out the linked prompts for full context #Danny got stuck on a time mission #Made himself a mer/atlantean to feel more comfortable/better survive where he got stuck #(Dealer's choice how much fish vs how much human he is.)#He ended up being stuck so long he started to forget how to human #Finally goes through another portal back to his own time and close to home #Only to immediately be caught up by some less than moral fishermen #They'll sell him to some other sleezebag #And Danny will spend a while in captivity before being found by Aquaman #His memories are still there but very muddled by his time in the deep)#Fortunately for Danny - though he doesn't know it - not being a normal fish makes him immune to things like depth and salinity changes #So don't @ me about it #Comic logic

hrgh rambled on vc about theraprism bill for hours and i woulda kept doing it . will tuck it safely under the read more

institutes are banal in their cruelty . agency is a complicated subject . bill is a cornered rat who's always been a cornered rat . what does he look like in a scenario where he's back at square one ?

i think he'd lock tf in honestly . tbob wasn't a bad attempt . like the book was a mess of him oversharing, but he managed to get something out the door that wasn't meant to . high security facility for tyrants and he still slipped something thru the cracks -- that's interesting ! i wanna play in that space which takes into account bill cipher is competent and more than willing to rip his fate out of the jaws of whatever sick punchline the universe is setting up for him

i think bill cipher can have his moments of patheticness . he's fun to put in the blender for a lil bit i also enjoy a bill cipher jamba juice from time to time

i just also think he got where he was in life for a reason . he's charismatic . he's funny . people genuinely like him, a natural born cult leader . he's extremely smart, and knowledgeable . he's willing to do a lotta shit most people wouldn't which already puts him ahead of the game

i think the thing that's the most fun about bill being in the theraprism is when you acknowledge he's a person . he's been put in a place where he no longer has any agency . his entire life has been chasing any scrap of agency he can get, and never feeling like he's got it . i love that thread, because this wouldn't be anything new for him -- bill's never had agency as far as he's concerned . always clawing his way for the right to exist

he's a cornered rat, he's always been a cornered rat, and he's gotten pretty god damn good at clawing his way back to the top . i think it's fun being able to explore what that looks like, how that power struggle would function in a place where he is pretty well and truly powerless

then if you throw ford into the mix, now he's got a wedge . and it's fun playing with bill trying to reconcile the ways he wants to use ford as leverage, with the reality that ford is his weakness . that doesn't change just because bill beefed it big time . the fact he won't acknowledge that just about dooms him to it, and that's awesome . i love cycles man. keep pretending that love did not undo you in a mind-bogglingly brief amount of time, i'm clapping and cheering about it yippeeeeee

ohhh it's just so fun . take my man and have him lock tf in . i wanna see him clawing at those walls and being a genuine threat to the system, while coming to terms with the fact that reincarnation is just about inevitable

it's such a weird fucking situation . you can talk so much about personhood, and agency, and how he took those things from others, but like . dude you still deserve to be a person . you still deserve to be treated well . so did all the people you hurt . theraprism presents such a good pressure chamber to have a narrative exploring how someone like bill reconciles those facts, if ever

rooting for you man . i think your success is more narratively interesting than failure

oh goddd and don't get me started on the meta implications of reincarnation as a narrative representation of how so frequently "character redemption" equals the death of the original character, replacing them with someone completely different, usually "good" and "domestic" hhhhhhh

turn him into a moth . turn him into a human . at the end of the day his personality has been so twisted and warped it's not even the same person anyways

my tuoyyyyys

#stump talks #i wanna play in the space that letting bill out of the theraprism in your classic handyman scenario would be genuinely dangerous #that bill would see this for the opportunity that it is #like he may not be playing with a full deck #but at least he's finally at the fucking table #and if there's one thing bill is good at . it's loading his deck and forcing the odds in his favor #even if it fails . lil rat man behavior i love it #like and what's fun is whether or not he wants to #he is growing and changing as a person . for good or for worse #he is no longer the ruler of the nightmare realm . he will never again be the ruler of the nightmare realm #bill cipher DID die #now he's gotta deal with what it means to be bill cipher now #hhhhgghghhhgggghhh #oh i need time to write more prose . i feel like this format of narrative discussion never gets the point across quite right lol #it's got no context . context matters #but i gotta rambleeee

playing around with the idea of noise form neku

#neku sakuraba #the world ends with you #twewy #my art #rindos there for height reference but i dont think thats enough to warrant tagging #god bless him though #ok. well here comes the tag ramble as per usual #i wanted the colors of his tails to be representative of his partners rather than himself #since kitsunes gain their tails through time and experience.. and represent wisdom...i feel like...#those formative three weeks are so important that they color his soul for the rest of time #then the headphones thing is because i wanted to keep the hear no evil thing but still tie it to the fox idea #so since foxes are sometimes depicted worshipping the moon i included that visual into his design #umm and then he has that wispy fire stuff because pyrokinesis ON TOP but also its his first pin lol #speaking of the tails i obv put a waveform cuz the first kanji in neku means sound #but the base of it i kinda wanted to evoke the barrel of a gun since theyre so instrumental in changing his fate #via getting shot... LMAO #EDIT: I FORGOT TO ADD THAT THIS WAS MADE WITH THE CONTEXT OF HIM BEING CONDUCTOR IN MIND #THATS WHY HES SO HUGE

LEAK/SPOILER about Season 2 of Stranger Things!

RANDOM TWITTER ACCOUNT: "'Steve and Nancy have an intimate conversation and talk about future plans, kiss, and say they love each other!''

Stancy is endgame guys!

EDIT: Some people aren't used to my sarcasm! This is poking fun at the "leaks"' that Mike and El will kiss in a field or something in Season 5 and how this supposedly proves Mileven is endgame. Such a ''leak'' would've have proven nothing then. And it proves nothing now.

-teambyler

#anti mileven #byler #pffft #for real #stranger things #every season says "where we're at'' before changing it #context is everything #mike wheeler

According to 4koma #232, Kohane has the ability to purr.

#project sekai #4koma #kohane azusawa #potentially interesting TL notes:#first for context in the panels before this An was thinking about how great kohane's singing/smile is. hence the throat thing.#anyway An uses says いけない when talking to kohane which can mean various things like “should not” “unable to” or “naughty”#she's treating kohane kinda like a cat here so i localised her part with the “how naughty~” like she's talking to one #also akito just says “it's complicated” in response to kohane which doesn't really work in english so i just changed it to another statemen #that conveys a similar meaning (he's pointing out that kohane is purring like a cat despite her saying she isn't one lol)#you probably could've done an's part as “it's all your throat's fault” but i thought “how naughty” was more in spirit of the cat motif #this is not interesting at all

Can we possibly get your version of osma? I'd be interested to see what you did with her

Here you go!! I was putting this off a bit cause, I'll be honest, the way the reveal/transition scene was handled was actually kinda upsetting for me.

I did read on her Wiki though that she's apparently a fairy which is awesome as hell. I haven't gotten to that part in the books yet but I'm glad to have something to chew on in my time of need.
