however bad of a day you're having, know that it's not nearly as bad as whatever the Crowdstrike security team is going through since waking up this morning

each week i tune into shogun in order to see toranaga do the political equivalent of sticking out his leg and making eye contact with yabushige while yabushige trips over him

(Tents fingers) So I've had a very indulgent Lethal Company OC concept on the mind for a while, and now that I've drawn it, of course it's spiraled into a 80+ panel comic HILJKFD

Employee names are tentative right now, but they go by Cap'n, Kid (shortie, actual name is Scoot), Skeets (tall one, short for Skeeter) and Mav (wide one, goes by that or Maverick). Genders are also tentative, but I'm warming up to the idea of them all being women with Kid being the only boy!

Value keys for the comic are under the cut, along with some story beats/thumbnails and the uncensored version of Cap'n's injuries from the attack! (It's sketchy, but it is drawn gore so be warned!)

🦇 Bat Boys Sneak Peek 🦇

I’m gonna be completely honest and tell y’all…the way I was BARKING at my OWN DRAWINGS of Azriel and Cassian. My friends told me I need to be spayed 😭😭😭

Also got the most magnificent friend makeover yet on Azriel….. let’s just say he is feeling a bit more blue than usual.

I cannot wait for y’all to see them in their full glory. 👀🤭 See you later ~

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

I'll say that I have been in some fandom with extremely impressive and dedicated artists but consistently some of my favorite artists are ones who technically make 'unimpressive' art to outright loving posting 'low effort' doodles. I love skilled work thats beautiful, but I also deeply admire a freedom from perfectionism and ambition. Sometimes those are just non-complicated but still clearly skilled works, and sometimes thats loving the wobbly simplicity of crude lines vs. rendered beauty. One of my favorite artists back when I was big into Hollow Knight was a korean artist who could absolutely make some extremely beautiful stuff, but many of the pieces I remember most and loved the most looked like this

Even here I know I mentally worked harder to make this imitation than they did for the OG. I can't draw fast and loose, and I like work that is clearly faster and looser than I can do. I envy people who can do things imperfect and carefree. Sometimes thats still very obviously skilled work, sometimes its very stupid doodles that were blatantly done in 30 seconds in mspaint. I don't think its say, disrespectful to love the doodles more than the rendered stuff said artist makes- but my love for it comes from a place that a lot of people wouldn't guess. That is to say, its hard to tell who, why, or when something you make might click with people- and it doesn't take a masterwork for someone to see something in your art as inspiration.

Sam Reich knows what he’s doing because every time I rewatch the finale teaser to try to look for clues I get immediately distracted by how hot everyone looks in it.

Sam you smart son of a bitch I know you did that on purpose.

pio im sorry but the six balls name joke bothers me. the fact that its that demons are considered to have stupid names if they're lower class or han style names (sha hualing) or titles if they are upper class/ want to appear that way, while being coded as not han chinese feels racist. i just thought you would want to know about this sort of thing.

I can see how you feel that way! It's an understandable thing to be uncomfortable with at first blush. Though honestly I don't really agree-- everyone has stupid names in sv, it's just that six balls is directly translated in English translations while the others remain in pinyin. So you don't immediately clock that shang qinghua's name is a pun that just means Went to Tsinghua University when you say it outloud or that binghe's name is (dropped in an) Icy River or that sha hualing literally translated is just gauze and bells (basically describing her outfit). It's pretty consistent throughout the whole book that every character is named lazily and over literally, less as an indication of their character traits and more as a commentary on how many artists (sqh) tend to suck at naming their OCs imo.

Take the romanized names: Luo Binghe, Shang Qinghua, Sha Hualing, Liu Geqiu

vs some overly literal translated names: dropped in an icy river, went to harvard, ribbons & bells, six balls

The reason why six balls is the only character that gets this treatment is I assume because the singular scene he's in is entirely dependent on the reader understanding what his name means for the joke to work, but pretty much every character could be swapped in to make a fun literal translated name if the situation needed it

So many patterns that look like sooo much fun to knit but i would never actually wear in my life

Still WIP

[philcoulsonismyhero]

This is a low effort contribution to @aggressivelyarospec's Aggressively Arospec Week, but here, have the scene that led to a beloved headcanon (which might as well be canon tbh, that's probably as close to confirmation as you're going to get from someone Harry's age who probably doesn't even know the word 'aromantic')

One of the many things I love about this scene is that Harry seems genuinely broken up about the "never experienced companionship" bit, but is almost casual about "never been in love", like he's only mentioning it for the sake of full disclosure rather than something that actually bothers him

*points at Harry Hart* That man is aromantic

[Image ID]: A series of screencaps from Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Harry Hart makes himself and Eggsy Unwin martinis at the bar on the Statesman plane while they have the following conversion:

Harry: When I was shot, can you guess what the last thing was that flashed through my mind? It was absolutely nothing. I had no ties. No bittersweet memories. I was leaving nothing behind. Never experienced companionship, never been in love, and in that moment all I felt was loneliness, and regret.

Eggsy: I'm sorry.

Harry: Don't be. Just know that having something to lose is what makes life worth living.

One last screencap is a repeat of the moment where Harry says "never been in love", and the green, white, grey and black aromantic pride flag has been overlaid on the background. [End image ID]
