I've looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of the bottles always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it 'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

digital painting, 30+ hours - drawing video under the cut

so this was another attempt at stretching myself beyond what i feel like i can do comfortably. i can't draw without references and generally i just draw scenes from whatever source media, note for note.

when i was listening to this song a bit ago, i had this idea of the boys slow dancing to this song all sweaty and tired after a hunt in some dingy bar. made me think of a scene from euphoria, s2e3 in a flashback with two young men who dance and kiss in a gay bar. the bar was exactly the kind of thing i wanted. i wasted hours trying to find other pictures to use as reference instead but i ended up going with the euphoria scene.

i'd seen quite a lot of gifs from this entertainment weekly photoshoot and there were some really nice moments between jared and jensen that i thought i could tinker with a little to make sam and dean and a slow dance/hug/shuffle

so i needed to change lighting, clothing, accessories, some of the background items.. definitely outside of my abilities generally but trying to push myself. kinda got lost in the sauce of the background and melding the people into the background i'm still not sure really worked. i'm sure it's the lighting letting me down. i tried though and now i wanna shove the painting out of my car and drive off

rapid blaster pro deco?

Rapid Pro Deco is interesting to me in how it takes maybe my least favourite Sub and Special in the game and makes them work really well. To start, this is the one weapon in the entire game that I think Angle Shooter is genuinely good with! You can really use the damage, range, and tracking to their fullest here, and Killer Wail also plays into this for a lot of synergy with the main weapon. All in all this whole kit really adds up to more than the sum of its parts as the ultimate chip damage poke weapon.

some thoughts about guilty yuno...

ok so yuno's crime is obvious. she had an abortion.

the fandom seems to see her choices as "is abortion good or bad" but i think that may be...over-simplifying things a bit?

let me preface this by saying i am pro-choice, it's not my decision what someone else does with their body, they need to do what's best for them.

that being said...being pro-choice also means accepting the choice not to have an abortion.

i feel like yuno's story is the most oversimplified simply because the majority doesn't see abortion as something morally wrong. but we're missing the fact that yuno does.

"I have no intent to say abortion isn’t murder. I’m a respectable murderer."

"But if you refer to the law, regardless, I can't be accused of murder."

Yuno wanted to be voted guilty. But why?

"Kotoko is someone I would never want to make my friend, though. She’s the type who picks a conclusion from the very beginning and won’t actually talk with you."

"[The audience] Arbitrarily deciding that I’m pitiable. Arbitrarily making up a backstory for me. Creating a personally idealized version of me. Creating an acceptable version of me."

In Yuno's first MV, most people picked up on the fact that she's doing compensated dating and that it resulted in an abortion. She outright confirms it in her second VD. But then we the audience decided what her reasons were because the majority of people who get abortions don't regret them.

I don't think Yuno wanted to get an abortion.

When you look at her from that angle, a lot of her contradictory behavior begins to make sense, and you begin to see how she fits into Milgram's moral dilemmas. Her story is still a story about choice...but instead of being about her choice to get an abortion it's about her choice to decide to keep her child.

There's a lot of reasons why someone in Yuno's position wouldn't want to have a child.

She's 18.

She's not in a stable relationship with whoever the father would be.

She doesn't have a steady job besides comp dating that we know of.

It was really easy for the audience to come to the conclusion that "she got an abortion because she didn't want to be pregnant." In that case, she's innocent right? She did the best choice for her, so she did nothing wrong.

But if Yuno did want her child...It's no wonder why she's so disgusted with her innocent vote. She was pressured into an abortion she didn't want, and has learned everyone thinks it was for the best. That we know what's best for her, and not herself. If she was voted guilty, I don't think it would be punishing her for the act of having an abortion...but the act of folding to someone else's demands.

If I was in Yuno's position I would abort. But I am not Yuno. I have no right to decide what is best for her. And if we look at the lyrics of Umbilical...I genuinely think she wanted her child.

Verse and Chorus 1 read to me from the first time I heard it as her singing to her child.

"Just the two of us I feel a little tingle inside Our love links us together Just me alone, the warmth starts fading away Let’s reload the warmth"

Verse 2, is her to the child's father, who wants her to abort.

"Am I a bad girl? Please don’t answer What do you want to do? Please tell me"

"Just the two of us I finally found it The lies are endless Just me alone, it really is lonely Let’s reload the warmth"

She's lying about her true feelings to become what this guy wants her to be. But she wants a child.

In Tear Drop, there's a scene where lights flash behind her. Pink, blue, pink, blue, pink, colors associated with child genders. A tear falls from her face, before the final flash. And the final flash is?

Four negative pregnancy tests.

This seems to me to parallel the balloon in Umbilical.

Four round balloons, but one heart. Four failed pregnancies, and one successful one.

She blew up this balloon herself. She wanted these balloons. And when she's falling at the end of the MV, it's her balloon that saves her.

We didn't listen to her. 

Yuno doesn't think she's a bad girl for having an abortion. She thinks she's a bad girl because she killed the child she wanted.

Context: Rapid Pro Deco: Was one of the few non-shooters that were used at the end of Splatoon 2 due to having Ink Armor and Splash Wall.

Grim Range Blaster: Most people that used it were highly passionate in Range Blaster as a main weapon.

Kensa Rapid Blaster: Was the first time Rapid Blaster had a good, aggressive kit.

Custom Range Blaster: People like the dumbass writing this decided it was funny to use an E tier weapon (I have no regrets).
