#how to write text on image

[lonelysheepling]

This is from November of last year, I hadn’t posted it until now I guess. This is my own Magnus Archives Web!Jon concept

There’s more backstory behind this composition, will I ever write it? Who knows. Anyway I had to google “off-white” palette to get all those colors and I’ve never seen so many iterations of what seems like only 4 colors. I filled two procreate palettes with those

Some color variations under the “keep reading”

More saturation, I still think the first one is pretty good. Also, I cannot for the life of me remember what the blending type for the second one is, it might just be a hue+saturation shift? I’m not sure

[ID: digital drawings of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully (The X-Files) drawn as a red fox and a grey fox respectively. In the first one, they're walking together, Mulder looks at Scully while talking, she looks up at him listening, there's subtitles between brackets that read "Excitedly tells her about the new evidence he found". The second one has them drawn simple, with the meme "gf: they're bullying me (sad emoji)/gf: who tf?", for which Mulder is the first one and a smaller drawing of Scully the second one. The third one is a redraw of a scene in which they are lost in the woods and Scully is holding a shocked Mulder, their fox versions are recreating it besides the screenshot. The fourth one is also a redraw of a scene in which Mulder climbs up a tree and asks Scully "Hey, Scully, is this demonstration of boyish agility turning you on at all"; she's on the ground looking up at him without saying anything, there's handwritten text besides her that reads "can climb vertical trees without problem" and an arrow pointing at her. End ID]

sketch dump!! I'm finally done with commissions, so there'll be more art soon :D I made these in the meantime, and i'm posting them because they were fun.

some notes:

so a cool thing of animalyfying characters is that they adopt qualities of their species, hence the little tree comic, grey foxes have arboreal habits and their claws are adapted to climbing trees. another fun fact is that i referenced Mulder from a photo of a red fox up in a tree.

i looove Scully's seriousness, i think 8-year-old would've loved her and absorbed her personality, but that kid could never watch txf.

they're very special to me. im on season 7 and im scared because they say i should stop there aaaa.

the girlfriend meme was a last minute addition i made after seeing one with caitlyn and vi from arcane, sí son.

I saw this comment and almost immediately thought of this scene so I figured out how to edit a text post onto a video clip

Video Description and Transcript under the cut (but if it's better for screen readers to have it not under a cut let me know)

[Video Description: A clip from Oxventure, specifically its Extinction Arc. The clip cuts between Ellen Rose and Luke Westaway role-playing as Merilwen and Dob, and Johnny Chiodini role-playing as Hammerdahl and Suzette. It also occasionally cuts to Mike Channell, Jane Douglas, and Andy Farrant as Egbert the Careless, Prudence, and Corazón de Ballena. At the bottom middle of the video, there is a YouTube comment from Glasses Hurb that reads "Are all orcs in the spectrum?". :End Video Description]

[Video Transcript:

Luke: [as Dob] "You brute!" [as Luke] I yell and pounce on him.

Dob: Eat them, would you!? These beautiful creatures!?

Andy: [as Corazón] "No, Dob!" [as Andy] I say.

Hammerdahl, leaning back from the weight of Dob on top of him: Oh! Oh! Oh my! Oh goodness!

Dob: How could you!? These magnificent beasts!! What did they ever do to you!?!?

Andy: I wrestle Dob off him-

Johnny, reaching their arm out to Luke like Suzette reaching her arm out to Dob: Suzette puts a hand on your chest.

Suzette: Dob! Dob! What are you doing!?-

Dob, very angry: *hyperventilating* And Suzette! You working for him!

Suzette: *essentially tut-ing at her brother very quickly then slaps him across the face*

Dob: *head jerks back from being slapped* Ah! *blinks and reorients himself* I might need one more.

Suzette: *backhands her brother across the face*

Dob: *head jerks back from being backhanded* Dah!

Suzette: You good?

Dob: I may have misread the situation.

Suzette: *slaps her brother across the face again*

Dob: *head jerks back from being slapped* Ah!

Suzette: You good?

Dob: *shakes his head out but pretty much nods in the process*

tbh in my personal opinion fire and blood is deeply written and complex if you take it for what it is— an extremely biased historic account with flawed sources and a lot of judgement of the chroniclers. 💃 i wouldn't say that ANY of the characters are flatly written, you just yk, gotta look a bit deeper into it— George is a great writer for a reason and yeah obviously you can't expect the same level of understanding of "deepness" of a character that gets two paragraphs in a book written by people that most likely didn't know them— again, *personally* i think George sprinkles in ENOUGH flaws and 'hints' about the deeper layers of character for it to make sense— it's a historic account and one HUGE thing is that with time there is glorification (think how they yassified Alexander the Great too lol), and yeah this DOES effect this record too! Alyssa is imo by no means flat and she very *clearly* has flaws, but essentially she died young and fullfilled her "Job" as woman in Westeros— be willing and happy to bear heirs, and she was willing to give baelon MANY— yes automatically she will be glorified by maesters and her "flaw" will be viewed as her looks when she had very humane flaws (her behavior towards Vaegon etc.). Imo, it's a disservice to judge fire and blood with the expectation of the rest of the series. It's a historic account, that's sorta how it works, you shouldn't take everything at face value tho and it's a bad imo to do so for george's writing style (which in general is full of unreliable narrators). That's just my opinion tho as someone who had to read thru some passages Fredegar Chronicles for a paper 😭

Finished Chapter 2! SPOILERS AHEAD! I must say that this chapter oddly made me dislike Makoto a bit. I genuinely thought I'd potentially dislike Byakuya in some ways more, perhaps feel a bit more upset at him than I do. On the contrary though, Makoto sucks in some ways. Which, don't get me wrong. Makoto deserves to be a flawed individual!! Golly though. For one, he really is a normie in some ways with how little he knows. How he asks so many unneeded questions, specifically when he was being dragged around by Byakuya which I get to some extent. He was very much disoriented from the whole ordeal, struggling to figure out why Byakuya of all people was interested in him specifically in regards of sleuthing about for the investigation. At the same time though, he needs to quit it with the rhetorical reciting questions that almost parrot what the other person just said. I get it's probably a bad habit of his but he need to get a grip about it. I can only extent sympathy for so long. Being a bit intentionally dramatic here by the way, but it sometimes feels like a tension killer or that it makes Makoto look a bit too dense. Don't get me started on the whole "rope" debacle too. Like, UUUUUGH! It's so obviously the extension cord Byakuya used in the library! So very obvious! Like, Byakuya took his time to bring Makoto to the library and I get Byakuya was being stubborn and not letting Makoto look at anything other than what he wanted him to look at. But it's so OBVIOUS!!! Though, I suppose I can blame a bit of this on the game design to some extent. Certainly doesn't make Makoto look smarter by any means. Maybe it's that denial where I can see Makoto's smarts shine in the trials so I feel like I'm internally being a bit harsh on him. I've seen others call him dense after all and I DO wanna look at Makoto in a positive light. I don't wanna be hating on the little bastard after all. It does get on my nerves sometimes though. and I can't lie to myself about that. Furthermore, the fact that I had to progress the trial by Hangman's Gambit-ing a slur for schizophrenic people regarding Genocide Jack. On a meta level, I get that doing D.I.D is a bit short and the full term is probably too long to do for just the second dang trial. Definitely not an excuse to use a slur that has no means being here though. Also though, in an in-world explanation, damnit, Makoto. You sure do have some shit you gotta sort out if that's what you're internally describing Jack as who, by the way, does not have schizophrenia. D.I.D and schizophrenia are very much not the same disorder. You called D.I.D a split personality multiple times which shows you know the difference. And, I can get it to some extent that, yes. This game is from the 2000s. The 2000s was definitely a more ableist time where terminology like that was flung around like it was nothing. So, in a sense of historical accuracy, I can understand why he might have said this word. I must also mention though that this isn't the first time Makoto was unnecessarily cruel to the others internally in his head. Thus, this certainly feels a bit more like a pattern of behavior for him. This is all interesting to me though with how much I've seen this side of Makoto ignored in some ways. He's surprisingly more judgmental than I feel some give him credit for. From internally thinking Taka was annoying when he first met him to finding Hifumi weird for his interests in Hifumi's own Free-time events (which I get. Hifumi isn't exactly written in the nicest light. Don't blame him for that. I blame the dated writing). I find this aspect of Makoto so intriguing though. In a way, Byakuya, the asshole of the group who dislikes everyone and mentions multiple times how he plans on following through with a murder, is less judgmental than Makoto. He said himself not to judge others by your own standards before the murder, during the investigation, and after the trial like he was the narrator of a children's book giving the moral of the story.

Fascinating...

"What sort of life did you live before our meeting? Considering you've never had to fight for your life before this happened, you seem startlingly well-adjusted to it. Is it a side-effect of having fused with me? Hm... I'm not sure myself."

random sleep headcanon time let's go

when the boys aren't sleeping with Javi's head laying on Kieran's chest (yep, that was me!), they're spooning. Javier is the little spoon. Kieran will never admit it was almost entirely a bid to stop falling off the bed in the middle of the night (they both shift around a lot)

Kieran picked up a bit of Spanish while he was in the army, so when he and Javier are both a little bit sleep deprived and a bit more drunk they're giggling and gossiping about the rest of the gang

Javier is NOT a morning person and it's only when he gets older does he somewhat begin to tolerate them. if only to get more cuddle time with his hubby and see the sunrise splash across Kieran's face

Kieran is a bit of a blanket hog which is fine most of the time bc Javi runs warm and it's only in the winter that it becomes a problem because Javier hates the cold

(slaps roof of car) these bad boys can fit SO many nightmares in them. it's very rare they wake up thrashing and screaming tho. mostly their eyes shoot open and they tense up for a few moments, and many times one has woken up to the other staring at them, checking their pulse. bone-crushing cuddles and tea ensue.

(good ending/modern) have fun getting out of bed in the morning when your cats have found the exact locations and positions to make slipping out of bed impossible without waking someone up. Kieran spends about an extra 10 minutes in bed every morning trying to escape when Javier is wrapped around him, one cat is loafed on his chest, another one is curled up between his legs, and his arm has gone numb under the third. he wouldn't change a thing <3

FALLS TO MY KNEES YOURE SO RIGHT THESE ARE SO CUTE WAAAAHHHH 💔💔💔💔☹️☹️☹️☹️

personally i do believe that they swap back and forth on who’s the big spoon and who’s the little spoon but most of the time javier is indeed the little spoon. mostly because their height difference makes it the most comfortable but also because javi will prop his leg up on kieran like this in his sleep and sometimes it will make him wake up with terrible back pain so to avoid it, kieran gets big spoon privileges

also i think javier would really begin to enjoy being the little spoon after ch4 because while he can’t directly listen to kieran’s heartbeat, he can squeeze in tight and feel it on his back, and combining that with the warmth of kieran’s body and the heat of his breathing on his scalp, it’s just as comforting.

on the spanish note, i’ve been becoming more and more fond of the idea of kieran having a baseline understanding of spanish … at first i was leaning towards him not knowing a lick, just so javi can have language privacy for when he has his dramatic moments, but now it’s almost canon to me that kieran could at the very least navigate himself through a situation in which spanish is the only language the people around him could speak. though i think most of his gossip is going to be spanglish LOL which is even cuter to me 💔 (insert toby fox “toho project” accent changes) javier teaches him more and more words and they get more and more mean girl-y the more “privacy” they have in those conversations. they’re so cute 💔💔💔

“many times one has woken up to the other staring at them, checking their pulse” i have to d*e that makes me SO MISERAVLE BECAUSE YOURE RIGHT especially javier, not only because he’s almost explicitly lost kieran once, but also because he’s literally lived his entire life up until now dedicated to protecting the lives of those he loves (ie; fleeing to america to protect his family, not himself). so of course the first thing he’s going to do when he wakes up in fight or flight is to make sure the reason he is living is still alive. if kieran is still breathing, then javier is too. i can see javier curling up tight with his head on kieran’s chest, letting the rhythm of his heart ground him. kieran wakes up from nightmares cold and alone and he can’t see the world around him. he’ll gasp like he can’t breathe and sit up and pull his knees to his chest and, without fail, javier will reach out to his warmth and touch him- more often than not still in his sleep. it’s usually enough to snap kieran out of the flashback, at least to the point where he can grab javi’s hand and pull it up to his face, where he closes his eyes and treads his partners fingertips along his neck and cheeks to ensure to himself that he’s okay and safe. even if javier wakes up (which, as a man on the run, there’s no way he’d sleep through it), he’ll stay slack, watching kieran’s face slowly soften and his breathing slow enough that he won’t at least pass out. you’re entirely correct that following this, they hold each other tight, make sure they’re both warm as can be, and they’ll make/get some sort of tea or snack for the other. they don’t talk much, maybe a question here or there about a preference for the comfort but otherwise they just do things that remind the other that they’re both still alive enough to love.

THE LAST ONE OOUGGH YOUR EMAKING ME YHINK ABOUT ME AND JJ’S (rip jj my beloved (they’re not dead just inactive)) CENTURIES OLD MODERN JAVIERAN CAT SANCTUARY AU LOL in every life, javieran have cats. i don’t even think kieran can avoid attracting animals, and javier WILL cause a 10 car pileup on the highway if he sees a cat in need of rescuing. anyway, you’re completely right 😭💔 kieran always gets up first, even on the days that javier has work in the morning, so he’s the one who has to peel himself out of bed away from his fluffy, warm cell. he also has to try to shush two of the cats that begin their loud objections to his abhorrent behavior (of getting up to make coffee) so that they don’t wake javier up. he has to hush them all the way out of the room and into the kitchen, there in which the meowing becomes louder, as they’ve now become demands of compensation via food for waking them up so early. pepita, javier’s cat, always stays in bed with him until he wakes up, no matter what she is enticed with.

oh i love them im going to be sick thank you for sharing your thoughts with me they’re always so sweet 😭💔 u and i we’re the soft, fluffy javieran cavalry

Yaz said it was tradition to write each other's names in the henna, but neither of them bothered to explain its significance.

Speaking of Shimazaki, I learned a lot about myself this week making these terrible memes so I could drop them in the discord chat as I made my friends watch MP100. What I learned was, I have a terrible sense of humor (actually I already knew that, I just didn't realize it was this bad) and that the only thing I enjoy more than watching Shimazaki kick ass, is Shimazaki getting his ass kicked. (I'll have more of these for next week when we get to Serizawa's stuff! Sorry!)

TES fest day 8: free day

The first fic I ever finished and posted was The Blood of the Coven in 2016, which followed Anthelion through the Dark Brotherhood quest line in Oblivion.

I set a goal at the beginning to do at least one of these prompts, and somehow I actually managed to do them all! I had lots of fun and it was great to see everyone else's amazing art and writing as well :)

lesbian4lesbian : a lesbian person who prioritises or prefers relationships with other lesbian people. Can also be used to describe a relationship between two or more lesbian people.

(Alt flags and symbols at the end of the post.)

(Also thanks to @julietianboy for the image ids (link).)

──────────✦──────────

I saw this pretty bi4bi flag, and didn't find any cenelian4cenelian and turian4turian flags, so I made some :3 (I did find a couple of lesbian4lesbian flags, but I wanted to make a alt one in the same style as the others.)

──────────✦──────────

The designs for all these, like mentioned, are inspired by this bi4bi flag.

The stripe colours just come from these cenelian, wintergreen turian, and aurora lesbian flags. I added extra colours so they'd have 7 stripes, and adjusted the colours to be brighter. (There's not really any reason for this, I just went with what felt fitting / looked nice with these flags.)

The symbols are also kind of inspired by the bi4bi flag. I liked the idea of overlapping symbols in the middle (which is also kind of like the overlapping gender symbols commonly used). I just chose suns for turian, moons for lesbian, and stars for cenelian. And I think the overlapping connects to the "4" and relationship part of the terms well. Since turian and lesbian can include nonbinary people, I added stars in the middle of the suns and moons for nonbinary (people who wish to be included under those orientations). The cenelian4cenelian symbol is a bit different. When I think of two stars, my first thought is having two stars rotate around each other, but that doesn't really match / make sense with the overlapping symbol style of the other two, so the final design here is a combo of both of those ideas.

I kind of just went with a more artsy style for these flags. The stripes don't have any specific meanings, and the symbols I picked based on nebulous "this seems fitting and nice" ideas, so not my usual flag style I guess. That's also why I didn't include plain stripe versions, since these flags really rely on the symbols to make some sort of sense / be distinct.

──────────✦──────────

turian4turian/veldian4veldian | lesbian4lesbian

While making these flags, I came up with two designs, one with sparkles on the outside, and on in the middle. Having the sparkles on the inside makes more sense, but I like both sparkle designs, so here's alt versions that use sparkles in the middle and on the outside. Extra sparkly versions haha.

Here are the transparent cenelian4cenelian, turian4turian/veldian4veldian, and lesbian4lesbian symbols if anyone wants them. I included outline and no outline versions, plus versions with transparent space around them. The transparent space ones are made so that you can overlay them on a 2000x3000px flag and they will be centred, same as on my flag.
