Icons only - a display of alchemy

[Ooh that's a good one, while generally gonna garner a negative reaction if it's someone he really knows/trusts might also get a wary but impressed reaction]

message from santa: "happy holidays post-it-notes! 🎄🥳 i know you very politely only wished for a few modest things- characters high fiving, or struggling in christmas attire- but i hope you'll still enjoy this given that i kinda went the opposite direction entirely! i'm an enormous fan of your work and most times you post anything i wind up browsing your art tag from tip-to-tail in enraptured delight. as such, i thought it was only fair i give back something a little more significant in gratitude for all the joy your work has given me. i knew i wanted to do a comic, so i was thrilled you already had a whole storyverse for me to work from!! this scene seemed the most obvious choice (chapter 8 of "wishful thinking" on ao3) given that i enjoy a dramatic fight scene 😂 i tried to stick as beat-by-beat to the writing as i could and worked in as many details as possible; i hope it'll be fun to see it envisioned this way! merry christmas! ~starflung 🎀🔔 "

theme sixteen: lavender — an attempt at a sidebar grid theme with big posts

previews: static preview, live preview / install: theme garden

features and options:

one or two columns

100px x 100px sidebar image

if you pick the one column option, your post size options are: 400px, 450px, 500px, 540px, 570px. if you pick the two column option, posts will be responsive to your screen size. please do not ask me to change the post sizes on the two column version. 

links dropdown with space for up to six custom links and an unlimited number of Tumblr pages

hide or show captions and tags on index page, optional rounded corners

ten body font options, five title font options, font sizes from 12px to 18px, and all colours customizable.

responsive for both desktop and mobile devices

notes:

Tumblr’s customize page is very buggy and when you first install the theme, you have to toggle the toggle options on and off to get them to work properly.

if you’re a gif/graphics maker and you want your images to show up exactly 540px wide, pick the 570px post size option to account for the post padding.

sidebar link icons are from feather icons. if you want to change them, go to this site, find the name of the new icon you want, and enter it in the requisite text field in the customization panel.

why do people not talk about scene this more?

[sga-owns-my-soul]

we as a fandom talk about lt colonel war crimes a lot and it's great i love it but i don't think we talk enough about doctor war crimes

carson commits SO many crimes in the show and we as a fandom do not acknowledge his beautiful crimes enough. he was doing illegal gene manipulation in the third fucking episode and doing experimentation on prisoners by the seventh. he also takes any and all opportunities to point a gun at someone and i for one think we need to acknowledge how absolutely fucking iconic that is of him. absolutely incredible i love him so much

Dan Mora style study

I really struggle drawing Superman/Clark Kent so I thought I’d look at how my favourite artists draw him. This is Dan Mora’s Clark as he appears in Batman/Superman: World’s Finest (2022). I tried two different colouring versions though! The first is the iconic Tamra Bonvillain’s World’s Finest style, and the second is Alejandro Sánchez’s watercolouresque style that accompanies Dan Mora in Shazam! (2023).

Sneakily, the eyes were so horrifyingly difficult to draw accurately. It’s a style almost similar to ones I’m comfortable with but very difficult to get right. I love Tamra Bonvillain’s colour palette—definitely an aspect I’m interested in incorporating in my own art.

I miss...giorno giovanna.

im thinking a lot about his complex role as a healer. his stand isn't meant to heal, he essentially brute forces it, which fits for the kind of person he is vs Josuke. furthermore, giorno is very self sacrificing in a very literal sense. he loses multiple body parts over the course of part 5 and just has to remake them. there's a ship of Theseus paradox here though I dont think THAT much of him was remade.

after the white album fight, mista tells him that their victory will be all of them surviving together as giorno once again tries to sacrifice himself. he takes this to heart, but soon afterwards its proven that this cannot always happen. His healing isn't enough. he can only give Bruno a little more time. and his reaction when bruno tells him this says everything.

Keeping everyone alive is his role, and he spends the early days of the part being given shit for being a newcomer, so having a solidified sense of usefulness only to have it swiped away so quickly when his stand cannot save his comrades is rough.

golden experience requiem is interesting in this context because its main purpose is protecting him from any and all harm. giorno has again, spent the entire part going through jojo typical levels of body horror, gore, etc, with the added benefit that he can remake limbs and chunks of flesh so they can do a lot worse to the part 5 cast and have them live. so in one sense, GER is a reward of sorts. he endured all that and his reward is never getting hurt again.

But at the same time, it's cruel irony that even with one of the most powerful stands in the world, its capabilities are on protecting him and no other. im sure that his enhanced capabilities make it easier of course, but the idea that he could still be too late will forever remain. whug.

Asterism book cameeeeeee <3

Since Orion is a journalist in this AU there are a few instances where his newspaper articles and blog posts are shown, and my friend and I loving formatted all the sections to imitate websites and whatnot down to sharing buttons and comment sections. Def one of the most hilarious parts of the book imo, I love them sm. Thank you best friend [Name Redacted] for writing this book for me, I love it sooooo much! You *get* Orion like noone else ;w;

I saw a post about someones plans for after the revolution, and I’m begging leftist to get serious for 5 minutes.  Y’all talk about and predict a revolution with the same reliability and trustworthiness as evangelicals talk about armageddon. US Leftist can’t keep their shit together enough to wear masks and to help poor people get masks because they are expensive.  But sure a revolution is going to happen any day now. In the US many disabled people like myself are now homebound because we can’t safely go outside.  Abled leftist admittedly refuse to do anything to change that.  They are to busy posting quotes from long dead white men, about ideas those dead white men stole from indigenous peoples. If US leftist can’t cope with something like covid, how the fuck do you expect to pull off a revolution?

This is still iconic, fkn LOBSTER TWINKOVIĆ

[pendragonsclotpole]

i’ve been seeing a lot of the danny phantom and dc crossovers lately, as well as checked out the tag on ao3. it’s grown exponentially over the last few years, which blows my mind, mostly because it’s a trope near and dear to my heart for the last seven to eight years. i first read a dp and dc crossover on the ffn website in 2015-2016. for context, the fic was originally published on ffn in 2012. i’m pretty sure it was one of the last fics i read on that site. the title has stayed with me for YEARS, even across multiple iphones, reappearing in my safari bookmarks, and following me on my ffn to ao3 transition. i’m queuing it for a reread, but just remembering it makes me wonder how many tropes of the current dp x dc crossovers it’s kicked off. For anyone curious, the fic is Zeus’ Dice. it was last updated on both ffn (where it has over 1k follows and favorites) and ao3 (where it was cross posted in 2016) in 2020. it has 9 chapters and it has yet to be finished. i have not reread it in years, but will do so soon to see how it is.

[leverage-ot3]

not going to give the blog any attention or time of day but this is your reminder that the leverage crew would never be zionists or support israel whatsoever

I wasn't going to engage with it because I value my mental health but yeah. absolutely fucking NOT

y'all really think that this group of people that actively go out of their way to go against the rich and powerful, who make it their goal to help people that are oppressed, devalued by society and taken advantage by those more powerful would at all EVER align themselves with israel? bffrrn

I'm going to go off for a few paragraphs about why this is such a horrendously ridiculous and delusional idea, but I'm not going to clog up your dash so it's going under the cut. I want to respect people who already participate in activism and need fandom space for lighter things

tw for discussion of the atrocities and war crimes happening in palestine

over 25 THOUSAND innocent people have died as a result of israeli terror the last few months alone. over 10 thousand children. entire family lines have been erased from the world forever- grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren all martyred, often together as they are sheltering from bombs and bullets until they are murdered by soldiers that laugh as they shoot and detonate bombs.

you really think that eliot 'I adopt every child I see' spencer would support a regime that let a child stay trapped in a car where her family members were martyred, not let paramedics in for days and then when they finally let the paramedics approach they kill both her AND the EMS? you think he would stand with the government that arrests children as young as 6 years old for *checks hand* being terrorists (because what fucking 6 year old is a terrorist let alone any kind of national threat. they're fucking SIX). that snipes children for throwing rocks at tanks and their apartheid walls

he and all of them would weep at the picture released the other day of the little girl handing from rubble with her legs blown off.

all of them would be horrified of the bombardment that has murdered tens of thousands of innocent civilians, women, children, men, elderly alike with no fucking care. that shoots people with their hands up waving white flags. that bulldozes graveyards and digs up bodies and probably steals organs from they dying and deceased. that bombs hospitals, governmental and archival buildings, mosques, churches, holy sites, schools and universities. whose soldiers have a trend where they go through women's underwear drawers and make lewd comments about their lingerie and how kinky they must be. who make tiktoks of them playing in decimated playgrounds and signing their children's names on bombs. who force parents to collect pieces of their children in plastic bags because they have been blown apart by relentless bombing. who shoot a grandmother holding a child's hand. who murdered a woman that dared say that she was older than the 'state' of israel.

the fact that you're posting this as israel relentlessly bombs rafa, the place they were told would be the only safe place to be, where 1.6 million people are living in tents living off animal feed because no sufficient humanitarian aid (if any) has been let through

these people that advocate for comeuppance and exposing wrongs would not support a regime that actively targets and murders journalists and their entire families.

you really think any of them would actively support a genocidal sociopathic government? fucking delusional

to a certain extent, I know that people want to keep fandom and advocacy spaces separate and I acknowledge and relate to that- when we are logged on every moment of the day we sometimes need to take breaks and engage with something else for our mental health. I need that too. and there is a very thin line when you try to apply fandom to current events because in all honesty, making headcanons about how your faves would react to X horrendous event can come off as extremely tone-deaf. I get you love your blorbos (I do too!), but actual people are suffering and it can come off as disingenuous to a lot of folks when you try to talk about your characters instead of the very real harm that is going on. HOWEVER, the other account posted in the leverage tag that the crew would be zionists and started that discourse and since it was already out there in our space I wanted to make sure that people know that this blog does not support that whatsoever.

and before this gets misconstrued: antizionism is not antisemitism. I have a lot of love for my jewish friends and followers, but saying that we can't be critical of war crimes and incessant aggression because it is a jewish state is fucking ridiculous. we should be able to hold any and all governments accountable when they do bad things (this absolutely also means I think we should hold the US accountable for enabling them and I live here. every country that is complicit needs to face consequences). saying that israel is exempt from criticism because jewish people deserve a right to a homeland isn't a great take. I completely understand fear of antisemitism and discrimination, but at some point we have to think critically and acknowledge that people are dying by the thousands and standing up for that and calling out atrocities takes precedence. jewish voices for peace has some really good content about this topic

anyways there's a random blog out there posting about how your faves are zionists splattering their rancid sponge and I want to make sure my stance on this subject is very clear: fuck israel, free palestine, and no one is free until everyone is free
