Woke up at 3:30am, can’t go back to sleep. I know I need exercise but all I want to do is just stay in bed every day. Why is life so rough on my psyche?

My queerness isn’t just a logical label for my patterns of attraction anymore. It’s visceral and dynamic. It’s an unbelievable drive. It’s something I know in my body and it’s there.

It feels like the lost city of Atlantis rising from the sea. This gigantic complex of castles and fortresses that I technically knew existed but had no idea what it was actually like in real life. And no idea how huge and massive it actually is.

This part of me is so strong. It’s so strong that it feels like it’s bullying me. It’s been an exile so long that now that it’s breathing the free air, it strong-arms the rest of my parts to make up for all the times it was strong-armed.

It’s also never met my boyfriend before. Not the sapphic part. Not the beautiful strong castles of sapphic desire that rise out of the ocean.

Now the task is to talk to that part. Talk to the sapphic part and find out what it needs. There are no bad parts. If it’s bullying me, that means it thinks it needs to in order to survive.

#personal #queer awakening #how and why did it take so long #I should have been here 10 years ago but no #I’m just only realizing this in my late twenties #becoming myself is exhausting and I wish I could take a break sometimes #I’m so in awe of my beautiful sapphic atlantis though

#my art #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #jjk fanart #jujutsu kaisen fanart #yuji itadori #itadori yuuji #jjk yuuji #been trying some stuff out in an attempt to beat the artblock out of myself with hammers #and i LOVE how it looks but god it takes so long painting like this #i had a ref style i was going for that was a lot more washed out and watercoloury #and to be fair my take on it did start out looking more adjacent to that #u can still kinda see remnants of the initial watercolour washes in the collar of yuuji's jacket in th bottom one #but it Did Not Last fhdjfjjg what can i say im a gouache/oils gal #i can't use soft greys and watery inks i need stark blacks i need the reddest red the colour wheel will provide #one thing i did keep from the refs were the sharp prickly fine lines i think those look real cool against textured colour blocks #anyway ive also been having a lot of fun playing with rly rly harsh lighting on the hair #and even thinner linework put down after the colour as opposed to before #probably one of the reasons why it takes a lot longer but also it mimics traditional art a lot more #ill probably continue playing around with this sort of render ! or at least keep elements of it

#my art #hermitcraft #mystery skulls animated #geminitay #geminitay fanart #ethoslab #ethoslab fanart #falsesymmetry #falsesymmetry fanart #ignore the fact that etho's hair changes literally every drawing #poses + expressions are traced a bit; and backgrounds aren't mine(well; except for the second one; which you can prolly tell;; sksnsks)#and also (with the help of sap bc i'm bad at color theory) edited the truck bg colors a bit #but even so;; i am!! very very happy with how these turned out #mystery skulls animated spoilers #<- honestly that's mainly for the murder mystery one #granted anyone who hasn't seen the future at this point prolly won't have that tag filtered #etho's murder mystery form(no i don't have a name for it)'s collar tag is a mix between a mable leaf and a vex!#cuz reverb is cub in this au #hence all the blue and stuff;; skdhkdnkd #you'd think that last pic would have been the hardest for me to draw; with how complicated etho's design is #but surprisingly; it doesn't even place top three in terms of how long it took to draw #no; instead it was that Fucking. Truck.#WHY did that take me eight and a half hours #the second longest was only five!!!#the others barely even top 4!#also #WHY are the deadbeats(which are mini tillies here) so deceptively hard to draw #every time i struggle with them orz #anyway. images 3; 6; 7; and 8 are my favs <3 #if false and/or pearl see this. o/ hoi

interlude

Lost focus and drew a consensual workplace relationship (the inherent intimacy of hanging out in an artist's studio to watch them exist in their element got to me)

Zoom in for details I poured my soul into <3

(no reposts; reblogs appreciated)

#dc: why do paperwork when sy is right there #my art #artists on tumblr #fanart #cdrama #under the skin 2 #猎罪图鉴 #猎罪图鉴2 #shen yi #du cheng #sy is also guilty he falls asleep in dc's office #how to say i trust you without saying it #i rarely draw anything explicitly romantic so this is how u know this show has gotten to me LOL #u know hilariously what ended up really convincing me that sy is a genius is how he uses like 20 diff mediums #AND IS GOOD AT ALL OF THEM #bro went from paints to sculpture to cardboard cutouts of beijing opera characters #what was his art school curriculum is there anything he can't do #my last uts painting went fast but this one Simmered for weeeks #which was great actually bc i could take my time pouring all my love into it <3 #both this and the show itself is art about art and that feels very sacred #also did y'all know most of the songs in this show have to do with light and how you can find it in other people #like i've been playing 时光有光 and 和光同往 on loop #objectively the 2nd one is just ur average ost but the way tjc sings certain lyrics has wended its way into my heart #specifically 初心/真心的模样 like bro the longing

Love your dick incorrect quotes 😭💞💞I feel so happy reading them btw how doo u think the batfam would react to seeing alot of pictures of dick in the Wayne mannor (b had this big ass painting of dick in the middle in the hq show and in an old comic there was a wall sized portrait of those two XD

Thank you so much!!

Batman #13

This one right? There's a few others too!

Is this the one about the HQ? From the Harley Quinn show. oh wait hq stands for Harley Quinn 🤣🤣🔫

Either way, I love how Bruce's obsession with Dick is just so constant across media and across decades. DC is literally honing in on him being favorite.

The show is literally unhinged:

Bruce, what? Can you say it in any other words???

Actually in the show, Damian sees the one when they're all dining because he's gaming on the couch and he's so chill about it. Like he just expects it.

Damian: Of course, there's a photo of Richard on the wall. He is the favorite. It is only right that father commissioned a Renaissance-scale shrine for him.

Meanwhile Jason is like: What am I, chopped liver?

While Tim's like: You're actually more like burnt liver.

Tim: *ducks as a whole friggin couch goes sailing over his head. Stands up smirking only to get tackled by a hulking mass of undead muscle*

Damian: At least Todd has a picture on the wall.

Tim: *Pool noodling his way out of Jason's grasp* That's cause he thought both of them were dead which is why he has the pictures up. Only Dick's is the size of a cathedral alter like Bruce commissioned it from the Vatican which he then framed in solid gold. You don’t hang something like that unless you expect people to pray to it. Jason's got shoved into a tiny corner at the bottom.

Jason: *throwing his hands up* CAN I WIN JUST ONCE IN THIS HOUSE?!

Tim: Are you Dick?

Damian: *smirking* No.

Tim: Then no.

Jason: You little twerps. I'm gonna string you two up and throw you out the batplane.

Stephanie: *walking in* Who's throwing who out of a batplane?

Tim: *scoffing* Jason's throwing me and batbrat out of the batplane.

Stephanie: Oooh! Sounds fun, can I join?! I'll bring the ropes!

Tim: You're not even going to ask why???!

Stephanie: *deadpan* Tim. I don't need a reason to throw you out of the batplane.

Tim: *Offended*

Jason: *Laughing and high-fiving her* God you get me.

Stephanie: But for curiosity's sake-

Damian: For the sake of curiosity-

Stephanie: -Why?

Damian: Todd is emotionally compromised over Father's unrelenting favoritism toward Richard.

Stephanie: Oh. Well, duh. Everyone likes Dick more.

Tim: Facts.

Stephanie: That's Batfam Lore™. What brought it on this time though?

Tim: We were talking about the massive picture Bruce has in the dining room.

Stephanie: Oh my fudge cake gods. That Picture! Do you know how hard it is to eat even a cheese stick while being stared down by a thirty-foot tall Dick Grayson?! Like, what is wrong with Bruce! I’m pretty sure the reason Dick doesn’t visit the manor anymore is because he’s too weirded out by a bigger version own self staring at him.

Jason: THANK YOU. Someone with a decent sense of propriety. And why the hell is it life-sized?

Stephanie: Barbara loves it, though. She thinks it's hot. Calls it "Big Dick Energy: Collector’s Edition." But she and Bruce are weird about him.

Tim: *muttering* I think it’s nice.

*Silence.*

Stephanie, Jason, and Damian: *Collectively side-eyeing him*

Stephanie: Right.... You were always weird about him too.

Tim: Wha- I was perfectly normal!

Damian: Drake. You once stood in front of the living room one for six hours straight.

Jason: Ye- six hours? Really?

Damian: He did not eat. He did not move. Father thought he was stuck in a time loop.

Jason: *Turning a disbelieving gaze on Tim* Dude....

Tim: *Flushing* I was just… observing! Deep observation! For art appreciation!

Stephanie: It’s not the fucking Louvre, Tim. That picture has been there through 7 kids and it's going to be there for at least 7 kids. But really, does Bruce have to have so many pictures of Dick?

Jason: *Rolling his eyes* Tell me about it. Don't forget the life-sized one in the library. I went in to read and accidentally ended up having a staring contest with a 2D Dick. Lost both my dignity and the will to finish my book.

Jason: *Gesturing wildly* You can’t eat in peace, can’t read in peace—hell, I tried to take a nap on the couch once and woke up face-to-face with a mantlepiece-sized Dick smile. I thought I died and went to Grayson Heaven.

Damian: Also the framed photos of him littering Father's study so he can stare at them while he works. I'm inundated with his visage every few rooms.

Stephanie: I bet even Alfred’s like, "Sir, perhaps a fourth room of paintings is excessive."

Tim: He’d never say that. Alfred’s part of the cult.

Damian: *Nodding* Pennyworth once wiped dust off the frame and whispered, "Good as new, Master Richard."

Jason: *voice cracking* Okay, you know what? I can’t do this anymore. I’m moving to Crime Alley. At least there, there’s no Dick—

Stephanie: There’s literally a Nightwing mural spray-painted across an entire wall with the word "Hope" like Gotham’s Beyoncé.

Jason: *crying* Fuck. Exactly. EVEN THERE I CAN'T ESCAPE HIM.

Damian: *judging him* This is a personal failing.

Jason: *frothing at the mouth* No, you would think that, wouldn't you? You’re the last person who should talk! You get all misty-eyed and say "We were the best, Grayson" every time Dick breathes near you!

Damian: *smirking* That is because it’s true.

Jason: *Collapsing on the coach and trying to avoid looking at the framed picture Dick on the side table* ....I can't believe I'm saying this... but thank you for being the normal one, Steph.

Stephanie: *Laughing nervously* Uh, yeah. Sure! No problem!

Tim: *Rolling his eyes* You're thanking the wrong girl. She-

Stephanie: *Wacking him unconscious hurriedly* SO! Who wants waffles!!

#the batfam is just really a massive dick grayson cult #tim is dick's number 1 fanboy for life #Batfam: In the name of the Father- Dick- and Holy Frame(s)#in the floor is lava game everyone has repeatedly at some point clung onto a dick frame. that's why he's actually known as the savior #jason has a secret dick shrine too but he will take that secret to his second grave #would it be a second grave or would they just rebury him in the original one #Dick is Gotham's Beyoncé but also its Patron Saint and the batfam is the vatican and Bruce is the pope #Damian: Father’s shrine to Richard is actually emotionally grounding #Jason: IS IT THO #if that dining room Dick painting falls during an earthquake it's taking a floor and 3 kids with it #and Alfred will still dust the frame before rescuing you #stephanie once prayed to it during finals week and aced her algebra exam #jason keeps throwing shade but his phone background is Dick in the circus #“I'm not obsessed I'm oppressed” - Jason 2 seconds before sobbing #Stephanie: I don’t like him anymore Tim!#Tim: Then why did you paint a mural of him on your bedroom ceiling—#Steph: ARTISTIC EXPRESSION YOU GREMLIN #jason built a panic room. Inside? No Dick paintings #tim broke into it and stuck a Nightwing sticker on the ceiling #Jason has not known peace since #tim keeps a clicker to count how many times someone stares at the portrait bc it's so common #current record holder: Bruce. 382 in one day.#my long tags againnnnn #dick grayson #nightwing #incorrect quotes #incorrect batfamily quotes #jason todd #red hood #tim drake

Something something every time Charlie isn’t fighting to be the center of attention, he is always looking around to others to gauge their reactions and silently observing them all something something he is searching for connection, to fit in and be loved but he doesn’t know how to ask for love so instead he gains their attention by acting out in ways he knows they’ll notice and tries to pretend their attention and love are the same thing

#Charlie knows how to push people’s buttons just right to make them pay attention to him because he’s always observing them first; like he’s #not as reckless as we all think he is; he’s fairly smart and also #like Charlie seems so emotionally intelligent in the way he can gauge most peoples reactions from observing them and I think that’s why he #liked keating because keating didn’t act the way he expected and so it was amusing and enthralling to see someone he couldn’t clock #keating would do weird things and Charlie would watch in amusement and he would try to push Keatings buttons in the ways that would make #other teachers upset but they all just slid off Keatings back without him getting upset so Charlie had to try harder but keating seemed to #praise him so Charlie actually started getting what he was craving and so he tried to do something big for keating only to be confused when #keating didn’t like what he did; but then Keating still gave that unconditional support even tho Charlie didn’t get the right action and I #think that’s at the root of their relationship like you can’t have the keating and Charlie dynamic without Charlie being smart #charlie dalton #dps #dead poets society #dps fandom #dps symposium #dead poets fandom #like it’s so interesting to watch him in scenes not about him cause it feels like he is such a more dynamic and complex character when you #do cause we all say he doesn’t know how to be quiet but so often he is silently in the background watch and observing like the walking #scene is a good example and idk I just feel like Charlie is silent and observing more than we think he is we just don’t realize cause he is #so loud in his other moments we take those as him #and ignore him otherwise which feels like exactly what he wants because he wants to connect with people but he wants it to be on his terms #because he spent so long manipulating people’s perception of him that to be vulnerable or not in control makes him scared and he can have #this front he puts on criticized and made fun of because it’s not the real him but if the real him was ever rejected I don’t know if he #could handle it and I think he knows that; idk I just think we need to give Charlie more credit than we are giving him cause hes so complex

Haha

#yanqing #honkai star rail #hsr yanqing #my immediate fixation on ice wielding child genius characters in every media I consume strikes again #idk I just think he’s neat!! and so is his gender #he’s definitely overdesigned but I do enjoy the general shape of his clothes #like wow… baggy outer layer AND baggy inner layer #how come you get to have two baggy layers #still don’t know that much about him even after reading his character stories on the wiki #so I’m hoping that his quest writes him well #I suppose there’s some degree of like interesting contrast in the fact that he’s very young on a ship full of people who live very long live #but I feel like regardless they really don’t give him much of a personality besides his hyperfixation on swords and the general naivety and #inexperience from youth yknow what I mean #I just think it would be cool to see like why he’s so ambitious! was he railroaded into being a knight because of his talents? did he try #to be accepted as a knight? what kinds of expectations is he facing and what expectations does he place on himself as a result #I really hope he isn’t just there to be a simpler minded child character for jingyuan to take care of

You guys don't yet comprehend the mess I made to make the undertale timeline make sense in this AU LMAO😭😭😭but you'll find out soon enough.......

But like....what was I supposed to do? The timeline makes no sense to begin with.....

#I understand Chara fell in 201× because Toby needed to trick the player but OHMYGOD WHY DID THEY FALL IN 201X THAT MAKES NO SENSE HOW LONG #WERE THE MONSTERS TRAPPED BEFORE CHARA FELL????#AND???#HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE CHARA AND ASRIEL DIED????#it's said to be HUNDREDS of years BUT???WHY IS THE TECHNOLOGY FROM WHEN THEY DIED ALMOST THE SAME AS THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY???#sigh.#I will never understand the undertale timeline...#I made it have a *little* sense in this AU by weird methods......#okay I'm rambling #how long did it take for those 6 humans to fall............#since supposedly the gaps were SUPER long and none of our protagonists have ever seen a human...(except Asgore and Toriel)#I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG UNDYNE HAS BEEN CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD OR A MEMBER BUT SHE'S NEVER SEEN A HUMAN???#so many of the monsters we encounter directly said it's been a LONG time since the last human and they've never seen one #sighhhh #it's okay I made the timeline make a little sense.....#in a unique way....

(wip) i guess the entire post office crew is bugs now

#i was very bored at work the other day and suddenly had the idea of making a firefly tango #and so i did that with hc10 specifically because i figured thatd be fun mixing the steampunk stuff with bug #and then i realized 2/3 of pet postal is bugs now. why not go all the way and make etho a bug too #so we have hummingbird bee moth pearl firefly tango and spiny flower mantis etho :D #tango is notably not bugfolk like pearl and etho......... more like an alien bug thing that resembles a firefly really #but its close enough that im juts goign to call him a firefly lol #hermitcraft #mcyt #pearlescentmoon #tangotek #ethoslab #pet postal #w1f1 sketches #wip #will be finishing this sometime in the next few days hopefully. mostly depends on how long the background takes me lol

why do they keep making bucky a government-manipulated pawn 😭 from the american military to hydra to whatever weirdass public relations campaign valentina is pushing the thunderbolts through (see: end credit graphics & the cereal campaign), like he had his brief time on the run and his goats in wakanda but he's sucked back into a sketchy institution once again like what are they doing with him. sure the movie was fun, but every time i think about it i just end up head in hands.

#rei rambles #anti thunderbolts #bucky barnes #discourse #what was civil war even for #what did sam fight for during falcon winter soldier? why did he even spend his entire movie arguing with ross #hhhhh #and it's so disrespectful of them to just go along with valentina co-opting both the avengers name and the tower.#at least the thunderbolts was a cute lil inside joke. them being on cereal boxes as the new avengers and using the avengers tower as a base #just makes me feel like they're spitting on the graves of the og avengers. u think steve and nat disagreed w the accords for this?#and yeah maybe tony would be into it but they also put the iron man silhouette underneath bucky's figure in that new promo figure.#looking at the more personal reasons civil war happened--u think tony would be okay with THAT???#and u think bucky who is friends with sam and trusts steve's judgement on who to pass the shield onto: u think that bucky would be okay #with STEVE'S silhouette under WALKER'S figure?????? after everyrhing that happened in tfws???????#promo poster* not figure. my bad.#but yeah. christ almighty i cant sleep i keep ending up frustrated about this.#bucky bb what are they doing to u #also sam doesnt deserve this. sam shouldnt have to keep constantly fighting to be seen as legitimate.#first he has to fight uphill to be recognized as captain america even tho steve handed the shield to him himself #and now he has to fight for the avengers team title? are you fr?????#i truly dont understand why bucky didnt immediately take the mic and call valentina out and finally get her impeached.#yknow. his exact goal at the start of the movie??? it felt strongly implied that the reason he was in congress anyways #was to find a way to arrest her legally and i cant believe he hasnt done it even after 14 months.#i cant believe he's on the other side of sam on this.#he the childhood friend of steve 'im not looking for forgiveness and im way past asking permission' rogers.#long tags #big sigh #and look. maybe the tb* team IS looking for forgiveness so they want to be asking for permission and be held accountable or whatever #but working under or with or for valentina is not the way to do it. she's a master manipulator and a human experimenter.#willing to work with immoral ppl bc of their resources is how zola got hydra tendrils into shield. cmon yall. come on.
