Yo!!

I'd really like to encourage y'all to check out my Etsy shop! (This is a link, feel free to click it or share it)

There's not much in it right now, but!

I'd really appreciate if y'all could make a purchase or two!

My siblings birthday is soon, and Chanukah is also approaching, and I,,, don't have the money to buy everyone decent gifts rn, especially not decent ones,,,

So I'd really really appreciate if anyone would give me some business so I could work towards that!!

(Also! If anyone has any ideas for merch you'd like to see-- any kind of merch, character, general thing-- please share your idea with me in some way! Through reblog, dming me, in my ask box, whatever you're most comfortable with! I'd really like to know what people want so I can successfully expand my shop!)

changed my tune so fast just bc of youtube autoplay lmao ok here have some sagau diluc thoughts

the player, diluc thinks, is an incredibly endearing being.

he's come a long way from the curt and wary attitude he used to put on around the traveler (and by extension, you), and today is one of those days where he finds himself privately thanking whatever powers there may be that allowed your paths to cross, with him staring at the reflection of you hidden deep within the traveler's eyes in the wake of his fight with the abyss that fateful night in mondstadt.

as one of the first people to have their constellations manifest in the sky of teyvat, diluc is more than aware that the fact that you still choose to ask for his company in your (or, well, the traveler's) journey is a gift he must treasure deeply. he knows that it is your presence in this world that gives vision bearers a chance to become something greater than they presently are. he also knows that he is no longer as impressive of a companion in battle as he used to be from back when the sky wasn't as bright as it is now (when the world you knew was smaller and he was still a figure that you could look to and proudly call "your main").

but you always come back to him. when he least expects it, you invite him back to your party and diluc can't help but privately think, privately wish, that it's because you're as fond of him as he is of you.

standing in silent prayer while you bestow upon him artifacts that thrum with divine power is an experience he can never tire of. the claymores you give him, the food he eats, all the materials he needs to reach a breakthrough in his capabilities... he understands that you aren't teyvat's creator, but this world and everything in it seems to exist just for you. you, the provider, the sustainer, the beloved of all. sometimes, diluc feels that everything he has and ever worked for have all been for the sake of one day meeting you.

he's not a religious man by principle, and he loathes people of absolute power. the only exception to this, however, is you. he's not foolish enough to believe you're some omnipotent, omniscient being that lords above all. no, you're not like that. he knows this because the longer he journeys with the traveler and feels their bond strengthen, the faint whispers he used to strain himself to hear grow clearer and clearer until finally, one day, he hears you.

you're both nothing and everything he thought you'd be. you view the world of teyvat with so much awe and joy that it's infectious, and he finds himself smiling more often than not to the privilege of finally hearing you. the traveler always looks at him with an understanding smile when diluc slows down in their travels to listen to you. he lives for the moments when you talk to yourself or to someone else (a companion of your own, maybe? from your place beyond the stars?) because this is how he learns. your favorite food, your favorite nations, your favorite "characters" and more. he holds every morsel of information you unknowingly give close to his chest where all his affections and wishes hide. he likes to think that this way, he can be closer and better for you.

but he knows he's not the only one who hears you, and it is the traveler that is closest to you out of all them. even so, diluc harbors no ill will to the avatar you chose to see and travel the world through. you're so fond of the traveler, and how could he ever come to loathe anything graced by your love?

he knows how to play nice. it helps that most of your other chosen are people he can find himself enjoying the company of as well. diluc understands that as much as he wants to be the sole holder of your attention, the world does not function that way. he's willing to extend an olive branch so long as they can all work together to keep you present in teyvat. he can worry about his more aggressive competition later when they aren't at risk of being caught in such an unsightly state by you — all that matters to him, right now, is how to keep your gaze on him for just a little longer and keep you from leaving him again.

it's a daunting thing to be so close to your grace. you take diluc to lands he'd never thought he'd visit again, to ruins of civilizations long past, domains with unimaginable horrors and have him run, claymore and vision burning at his hip, into fight after fight at your command. it's tiring at best and painful at worst, but you always take care to heal him and his companions before leaving, and you always lead them somewhere safe to rest until teyvat brightens and you come again.

his current companions (his "supports", he inwardly preens) rest and talk amongst themselves once they feel your presence leave. it used to be something they, your chosen, would panic over, but now that they've gotten more used to you and all the signs that pointed that yes, this is your will, they've grown to be able to tolerate the harrowing chill that comes when your warmth leaves them. diluc leans back on his chair in front of good hunter to observe them. they're all people he's come to grow fond of in time: diona was prickly, yes, but ha become pleasant to be around once they grew past their misunderstandings. the young master of the feiyun commerce guild, xingqiu, was also a reliable companion both in and outside of battle, and for all his faults, venti has proven himself to be a devout believer, unwilling to be a burden to you or the party you've guided him towards.

under normal circumstances, he never would've met and forged such strong bonds with these people. if not for your own interference, he never would've bothered getting to know any of them at all. though he may have his own gripes and complaints at times of how their dynamic works when you're not around, diluc is still fond of them. he's grateful for the opportunity to grow close to people again, and traveling the world alongside them and the traveler has become one of the few things he's begun to look forward to outside of his duties as "diluc, master of dawn winery." when the day is done and he can sit and relax with them in the tables in front of good hunter, he can rest in the company of others who understand the near-maddening pull in his chest that draws him to try and get closer, closer, to you.

it's days like these where diluc quietly thanks whatever it is brought you to them, and prays that one day, he will no longer have to search through the traveler's eyes to see you.

Spy and medic heartfelt conversation and after spy bares his heart out medic prefixes his reply with "listen, from one old slut to another, "

I posted this on twitter too but I guess I'll also try it here. does anyone here have any movie recommendations that's good for cinematography studies? kinda need to get better at that for work reasons lol

[vellichorsdesire]

embarrassing kind of BUT i’ve scheduled like a date with f/o for like the first time ever because i keep on putting it off and i’ve been a little stressed this week so it’s a nice reward….!!! might draw something for the occasion and i might just schedule these kind of dates more often because it kind of feels really nice to do

[stoppingo1k]

uh oh! i've fallen into the trap of getting too attached to random throwaway characters

i'm making a short comic (and it's taking too long and pissing me off so here's a quick peek. note to self: less intensive comics). this guy is intended to be literally someone never seen again so i'll immortalize him with his own post before he's gone

[skeletalheartattack]

theres another member of zarbons species in the moro arc of dragon ball super! he transforms into a differentmonster form than zarbon

Yuzun! i know him! or well, i kinda know him. i'm not really caught up or invested in anything Dragon Ball related beyond Buu Saga, but i've learned somewhat about him.

i think he's pretty neat! and i'm really happy they expanded Zarbons race just a little bit with Yuzun. though you hate to hear how he went out... there's no peace for my mans race. i hate this solar system. fuuuck.

Is it valid to get mad at your significant other for something they didn't do but that you feel could realistically happen or do I need to calm down

[tiredrobin]

I have the theory that Six’s hunger could be caused not only because of her time in the tower, but also because of the added grief of having to let go/end his friendship with Mono.

i mean thats definitely a possibility. i think the game leaves enough up for interpretation that anyone can reach a fair number of nuanced conclusions that could be true. hunger for connection is a thing people suffer from, esp in scary, isolating situations.

its probably not .... an idea i personally ascribe to? but it isnt a bad idea, genuinely. it is 100% just personal preference. to be clear, i really care for mono, but my focus tends to be on six and i get a little... disinterested, i guess, the more things have to do directly with mono. like, her whole story is already defined by that first meeting and subsequent survival adventure with him. she's still haunted by what happened in the form of her lingering remnant (who i call statix :] shes also my daughter), and we see allusions and signs of mono's influence on her life in subtle ways throughout the first game. so theories that tend to link her connection even deeper don't always sit well with me and it's just because i am a little tired of female characters only having anything worth minding due to male characters?

i generally perceive her hunger to be a result of being consumed and losing a part of herself. she got a bit digested. statix, her remnant, is an echo of what went missing (or at least implied to be, given that we see statix only when six is eating), and statix is closest to six when she's eating the lady, so it's like... trying to consume what's missing?

hm, actually, eating a person to regain something of what was missing (and failing, i imagine) could be associated with connection. cannibalism is often associated with intimacy and connection, so it's an even shorter line of connection from hunger to the desire for companionship if you look at it like that. wham bam i just potentially maybe fleshed out your theory some more huzzah

once again, to reiterate, your idea is a good one. it makes logical sense, thematical sense, emotional sense, story sense. it works. i am just the world's pickiest person to ever exist when it comes to characters who mean as much as six does to me, so For Me i'm not too invested in that idea. however, i think i'd love to see others play with it more, i think it's really cool to watch how others interpret and interact with a media (when it doesn't have to do with mistreating my best girl).

thank u for sharing!!

[crowkip]

[dancingdonatello]

hey i saw your reqs where open and i wanted to send something in!! i love your stuff and some of the oneshots youve made are like some of my favorite ever!!!! ive never sent a request to someone before but do you think maybe you could do a donnie oneshot (or head cannons i dont mind) with an gn!s/o who's love language is physical touch but it always super big on consent and stuff, like if they want a hug theyll ask, or ask to hold hands, if they want to hold onto his arm or his shoulder or something will hover their hand over the spot they want to touch and see if he's okay with it or not, asks for anything verbally or tries to read body language to see if hes okay with it. and if the answer is no or he doesnt seem like he wants it will just say "ok!" and be perfectly fine with no pressure obvi !! if youve already done something like this id appreciate it if you could direct me to it 😓 anways have a good day, night, or evening, and make sure to drink water and stay safe !! :3

rise donnie x reader

Donnie… appreciates it.

He likes how you always double-check to make sure he’s okay when you grab his hand. He likes that you don’t jump onto him until he gives a slight nod of his head or even rolls his eyes.

You’re always beside him, up in his space, but you take time to make sure he’s okay before you’re plastered to his side, skin to skin.

“I don’t ever want you to be uncomfortable.” You look up at him sadly. He didn’t bother to say how you could never make him uncomfortable. How he was the big mutant from the sewers that should be making you uncomfortable with his touch.

You always back off of him when cuddling if he even so much as shifts. You always circle around him excitedly before he reaches out a hand to grab you himself. You always ask before giving him a hug.

“Can we hug?” You gave him big eyes and he sighed as if he didn’t want to, opening his arms all the while. He doesn’t mind even if you don’t ask, but…

His brothers think it’s a bit odd and give you two looks from time to time but Donnie ignores them.

Whatever. He likes it. It makes him feel cared for.

‼️HELP A HOMELESS ARTIST ‼️

Reblogs are greatly appreciated! :")

Making a new post because my family and I are in dire need of help. My name is Link, I'm a 22 y/o artist and since November 2021, my family and I have been homeless and living in a motel. Since neither of us had our documents or IDs when we first got here, it was up to me to open commissions to support us. Although my father has his id now, getting a job out in the mountains where we don't have transportation or a way for them to contact us is very difficult. Until that changes, we're still dependant on my commissions to help us through paying for rent and soon food, as this is our last month of food stamps due to the policies here.

This week and especially this month has been super tough on us since work has gone down for me tremendously. There's been weeks were we can't pay and owe upwards of 100$+ every other day since it adds up so quickly. There are days where if we didn't have food stamps, we wouldn't have any food at all and since it's ending soon, I'm hoping this will help me find some more work to care of my family with. Right now our situation is urgent. We need 250$ to cover for tomorrow and we don't have anything as of yet. If we can't have everything paid for by tomorrow, we will be kicked out and since families on both sides have cut us off both communication and money wise, it doesn't look good if that happens.

So, all my slots are open for anyone who's interested in helping us out! I'm a primarily DnD/fantasy themed artist. I mainly draw Dragon Age centered art but I've also done work of Baldurs Gate 3 tavs and other DnD related stuff as well! I can also work outside of fantasy, I've done all things from simple portrait commissions to furries to even dragons, I'm flexible with most things. The only thing I won't do is sexual nudity since I'm not particularly educated enough to draw that sorta stuff yet. Payment will be upfront since our situation is extremely dire at the moment and in turn since we have to use the money we get immediately for rent and soon enough food, no refunds can be given back so please take that into consideration. I'm all for making changes if you aren't happy with how a piece is turning out.

My prices will be below! Thank you to all that sees this and helps either through reblogging or commissioning me, it always means a lot to my family and I! :")
