I know I draw Ben in a way to make him seem cute and adorable and wholesome but

Don't let him fool you, he is a freak at heart, and he can be a total bitch if he doesn't like someone

This 5'0 drowned rat can actually be pretty fucking terrifying, he just doesn't perceive himself in such ways because he likes to have friends and socialize since he never had friends when he was alive-:(

I participated in my last official run for the year today. I'm struggling to get back to the running status I was before COVID, but I still had a nice time. I've ran a lot more events this year than last, and I am proud of that. However, I may have gotten a little burned out ...

[brodudemanbroski]

he is so silly. helpy/helpi is so fun.

ALSO I KNOW IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE HIM BUT ITS HARD, pretty sure its because of his snout being purple/coloured but bleh whatever.

I've discovered that the Arc thrower in Helldivers is actually based against bugs... Lightning God Strawberry on the field (accidentally teamkills someone because the lighting decided to arc to them)

ask game - top five favourite female characters :3

ok so we collectively decided that i will do top five from dramas and then top five from other forms of media, so this is gonna be a long post 😌

top five favourite female characters from dramas

number one. koh ae ri from the eighth sense

she is for real one of my favourite secondary characters of all time. she is so funny and i absolutely love the way she teases her friends, bullying IS a love language yes. i also love how confident and slightly over-the-top she is, she can really stand up for herself and other people as well, which is an admirable quality. also, i am side-eyeing her and her bestie. 🫵🏳️‍🌈⁉️ ykwim

number two. ink from bad buddy

we all know what i think about bad buddy but that doesn't mean there aren't any characters in that series who i still cherish, and ink is definitely one of them! i feel like everything in the world has already been said about her and i don't even have to explain myself. we all love her.

number three. hashimoto mio from kieta hatsukoi

she is an icon, she is a legend, etc. etc. she is so so sweet and wonderful but can also hit you across the face so hard that you fly away if you deserve it. i don't even think that's like dramatic effect exaggeration, she will kick your ass if you're acting like a fucking idiot and i love that about her.

number four. choi yu na from semantic error

true bicon of our generation. greatest fashion sense in the world. so very tired of your bullshit (and that's absolutely fair). a great friend. *bows fifty times in respect*

number five. sunny from our dating sim

she doesn't get too much screen time but i love everything about what we see of her. she is very no-nonsense and deadpan, but also very emotionally intelligent and compassionate (she literally helps lee wan figure out why he started drawing and why it's still important to him, like she literally changes his life with one small conversation). what a legend.

top five favourite female characters from other media

number one. brienne of tarth from game of thrones (tv show)

ok yeah yeah horrible tv show. ANYWAY. i am fucking obsessed with brienne. she is SO!!!! KDGJDFJGDFJGKDF. sorry. what am i even supposed to say. she is a warrior both metaphorically and literally. she is the most knight-coded character of all time. no man can compare to her in knightly qualities. she is noble, she is loyal, she is fair. she is fucking iconic.

number two. clementine from the walking dead games (video game series)

i grew up with clem, actually. i was just a couple of years older than her when i first watched a playthrough of twdg. i suppose we have to make some space for the fact that she is a protagonist in 2.5/4 games, meaning that every player kind of decides what kind of a person she is on their own. but i think overall, no matter what choices you make, she always remains a very strong and resilient person. despite everything she's lost, she doesn't lose her humanity and manages to take great care of her found family (and her adopted younger brother, shout out to our murder baby aj <3). i am very proud of her, almost like she is a literal person who grew up in front of my eyes.

number three. lae'zel from baldur's gate 3 (video game)

ok, now this one was hard. not because i don't love lae'zel so much, but because there is an insanely long list of female characters from bg3 that i absolutely adore, and choosing just one was hard. in lae'zel's place, there could have been shadowheart or karlach or jaheira or either isobel or aylin from everyone's favourite divine lesbian duo or nine-fingers or or or. i can go on forever. but i picked lae'zel for this post. so, first thing you should know about her is that she can step on you and you will be thanking her for it if she does. she is just 21 years old, yet she goes through a completely worldview-shattering experience and comes out the other side not just alive, but with her head held high. her quote "what good this heart of stone, for it to be shattered?" absolutely kills me every time. i'm gonna stop here, but i could go on forever actually yes.

number four. josephine montilyet from dragon age inquisition (video game)

very similar situation with the dragon age games and the amount of characters i could choose. morrigan, isabela, and sera in particular were very strong contenders for this space. but i ended up choosing josie for this post. she is a very sweet and romantic character. she used to be a spy (and she actually got into it because she thought it sounded romantic - she's whimsical like that), but then she ended up killing someone she knew and that experience changed her forever. she is now a very successful diplomat, determined to deal with world's problems through any means other than violence. she is very open-minded, understanding, and just an absolutely lovely person overall.

number five. anne elliot from persuasion by jane austen (novel)

choosing a favourite jane austen herione is like choosing a favourite child, but here we are. the photos are from two different adaptations, and i appreciate both of them in different ways, though i don't think we have a 10/10 adaptation of persuasion just yet. anyway, anne is naturally a rather timid and people-pleasing person, which i think a lot of us can relate to, but throughout the book she really finds her own voice and stands her ground, while simultaneously not having to completely change her personality, which i really appreciate. not everyone can be sarcastic or witty or strong-willed and that's ok. she also definitely shines as the undeniably smartest austen herione, as she figures out all the secrets, decidedly does not trust clearly untrustworthy albeit charming gentlemen, and is overall incredibly sensible, which means it's very easy to read her inner dialogue, because you never find yourself sighing at how blind she is at something that's happening. she sees everything. being inside her head is a great time.

[celticbotanart]

Re-read the "NO LIMIT!!!" event story bc it's one of my fave RAS stories, and!!! how much I love these idiots🌈 Rei is literally the most insecure mf in the whole universe and CHU2 is this abrasive rude-ass little gremlin and still we see their soft sides like that, supporting each other~ I think one of my favorite aspects about CHU2 is the fact that she wants everyone in her band to be their best selves. I think it's really cute how she reinforces how special RAS members are, and more specifically Rei, whom I've seen her say stuff like that more than once. We stan supportive sisters 💛

[purble-gaymer]

not lying when i say 40 degree weather could fix me btw. the sun was out today for the first time in two weeks and magically all my problems disappeared

[a-lonely-dunedain]

also on the topic of Golodir's grief, can we take a sec to appreciate that the game lets him be so openly emotional and cry on multiple occasions and never treats him like he's inherently weak or lesser for it? it uses it to show what a tremendously Bad Time he's having and how important his daughter was to him and how what he went through broke him so badly, but it always felt like the game was trying to make it clear that "this is a normal and understandable reaction for a man to have in these circumstances" by letting other characters acknowledge and validate it while doing everything they can to help him and I just- idk I just love that even the Strong Men Are Allowed To Be Emotional In Tolkien Works thing made it into this adaptation. like when Elrond initially thinks Golodir shouldn't come along because he's Too Sad(TM), it comes from a place of caring but it is clearly shown to be the wrong move, and neither Corunir nor the PC even entertain the idea. Golodir was hurt, so so badly, but it didn't make him a lesser man in any way.

He cries, he grieves, and he's still "the strongest ranger I've ever known" as Corunir puts it. and like, yeah- he's right

[dontlookheswatching]

Day 17 was draw a creep you have a crush on. Oh boy. Let me say, I'm not ashamed to admit I'd bark like a dog for Jeff and Liu. I can't get enough of either of them. My boyfriend is the same way we both go crazy for these two😭

So! I did both of them for this!

I love these two, speaking character and lore wise, they're my favorite sibling duo. They have a special place in my heart.

[exerciseandfitnessfornoobslikeme]

5 weeks of fitness boot camp class completed, and I'm starting to feel a little better about myself! I'm still not where I want to be, but this class has definitely helped improve my endurance. I need to check out some other classes after this one ends next week! 😬

[space-apples]

[netscapenavigator-official]

My nonsensical theory of the week is that Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony was Rockstar’s failed attempt to create a game that would’ve given them the gaymers’ approval. They wanted to be Dead by Daylight before Dead by Daylight was even a thing, and failed miserably.

[rainia]

hmmm ok Im going to try sleep but idk how I’m going to get off this adrenaline high tbh so wish me luck ahaha
