If male Jordan looks female does female Jordan look like a male? … (let me fuck em both)

unfortunately anon you'll have to get in line - there's already someone by jordan's side and he ain't the sharing type

but on f!jordan design!! I actually didn't think much when making m!jordan cause i was just thinking of what my oc's type would be (pretty men) HBREHBFJHBERF but if i were to view f!jordan, it would just be m!jordan design but female? so they'd look something like this:

BUT YOU DID give me the Thought of .... short haired f!jordan so you also get a bonus brainrot doodle from yours truly <3

but same anon - same, i want to fuck em both

wait are people really saying buck *wouldn’t* do keto? this is the same guy who was obsessively measuring his body fat percentage in the first two seasons, who clearly works out a lot (and you don’t look like that eating ‘poorly’ without monitoring you diet). I know he likes cooking and seems to favour pasta dishes, but come on, buck would absolutely try different diet/workout plans. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a good thing, and maybe I’m just projecting here, but buck having body image issues and trying out fad diets feels very in character to me

lol i think it just kinda goes with the general fandom tendency to make characters perfectly adhere to their own worldview. like WE know keto is for dumb fitness influencers, therefore Buck would NEVER do it.

but in fact buck is the EXACT type of person who would be susceptible to the dumb fitness influencers 😔 and we must accept this about him & love him anyway 😔😔😔

would be interested to hear your thoughts on jeandrew 👀

for ten days this ask has been sitting in my inbox and the jeandrew thoughts have been marinating (also i forgot to answer bc i'm stupid)

under the cut bc it got a little long

i think they both have a sorta unspoken appreciation for the other (jean took care of neil at the nest, andrew took care of kevin) but they still hate each other on principle. jean also 'let' riko hurt neil, andrew is... andrew. you know? like... they're just too similar. (don't tell them i said that)

they're both really... Opinionated (read: they're both huge bitches and i love them) and even if they agree on smth, they're not Agreeing with each other. pfft how Dare you

they can get along under two conditions: 1. kevin is there. or 2. neil is there. that's the only common ground they really have, the exy-obsessed idiots they're in love with. they need a buffer. otherwise, the tension is thick as fucking peanut butter. are they gonna fight or fuck? i don't know, they certainly don't know.

but it's there. hehe

(big supporter of a huge fucked up polycule. i'm talking kevjean x andreil. just all of these fucked up little (and Large) men. a Unit of absolute insanity. however they would never, thank god)

oh yeah! me and dayurno were talking about jeandrew sorta the other day. and andrew would like one thing about jean, his ability to cook/bake. (we diagnosed jean as good cook, while the rest of them suck. andrew sucks a lot less than kevin and neil. but jean is cooking god okay)

tldr: jeandrew should kiss. someone get andrew a stool pls n thnx

You made me want to rewatch ysblf and it made me realize that Armando is lowkey actually kind of insane? He goes from barely noticing Betty to getting real intense about her. He blurred the professional and personal lines way before the plan. Like why was he so upset to find out she had a boyfriend? He really expected her to confide in him with such a private matter. He was just his boss even if he treated in a special way like he states, but then again, why do that in the first place? I think you mentioned that there was no way this is how he treated his prev secretary which is honestly very interesting and speaks volumes about when his feelings for her started to deepen without even realizing it. Of course we know It wasn’t true that she was dating Nicolas, but even if she had had a bf for real, she still wouldn’t have told him. She was really reserved and constantly tried to keep her personal life private before their affair. And also they way he reacted after Charlie Zaa kissed her on the cheek and she got all excited? And to react like that with Marcela in close proximity?

It almost makes me wish her supposed bf had been someone other than Nicolas bc since he was aware of everything and involved with Terramoda it was easy for Mario to become paranoid of his true intentions with Betty and pass this on to Armando, but with someone else in the picture that was not involved on their business in any way? His whole jealousy would have been very hard to disguise. Or would Mario still find a way to get paranoid and suspicious? Was she really not allowed to have a love life while Ecomoda was hers? This part is crazy to me. Love and business was mixed so well in the series. There’s this whole ambiguity regarding Armando’s feelings and about the reason of his reactions that adds so much to the story and makes him a very complex character. I had watched lfmb before and Lety’s revenge wasn’t enjoyable to me because the filler they added before she read the letter made it very obvious that Fernando was in love with her and already wanted to cancel his wedding to be with her instead, he flat out admits this out loud whereas Armando tried to deny his feelings for so long, put on a façade in front of Mario even when it was no longer believable that even he had to call him out on it, all of this made this whole arc very satisfying to watch as a viewer. End of this whole discourse lol sorry it took me so long and it’s all over the place but your comments are spot on always so I wanted to share my unsolicited thoughts with you. Thank you ☺️

You made me want to rewatch ysblf and it made me realize that Armando is lowkey actually kind of insane?

I know i say he's insane here (lmao) but I gotta defend him and say you know, perhaps he is just intense? (it's both). I've said before he's very emotional (and not very rational) and he has an ego (and he's insecure). You combine those these traits (plus a child of nepotism who has never been denied anything) and you get Armando.

He goes from barely noticing Betty to getting real intense about her. He blurred the professional and personal lines way before the plan. Like why was he so upset to find out she had a boyfriend? He really expected her to confide in him with such a private matter.

Betty impressed him from the interview when she said, 'I know I can learn a lot from you'. Fed his ego a little bit but also Betty's honesty brings out a tender look in Armando's eyes. Softens him. Also, despite what everyone says, he really did want a secretary that could do actual work. Aside from not wanting to hire Patricia bc he didn't want Marcela spying on him.

Armando, despite having everything one could dream of having in life, has never had someone in his corner without asking for anything in return. Let's backtrack real quick---His dad voted for Daniel to be president, despite the fact that its said that Daniel has never worked at Ecomoda. Armando got the extra vote he needed from Marcela, whom he discussed marriage with days before the vote. So all he knows is transactional relationships and how any kind of support is conditional. His animosity towards Daniel stems from competition that Roberto instilled. Armando has no idea what loyalty looks like or what it means to be unconditional to someone. Until he meets Betty.

If Armando is insane about Betty in one way, then so is Betty in her loyalty to him. She held onto his agenda like she was asked even tho it got her fired, she turned down a top dollar bribe even tho it could have helped her family (and felt terrible for contemplating it when she confessed it to him), she helped him cover his affairs with other models, she helped him commit financial fraud, she helped him set up a company so the banks wouldn't jump him. Who does that? An insane person (who's terribly in love with their boss).

Armando has never had someone in his life that he didn't have to share, who isn't related to anyone he hated, who he doesn't have to make backend deals with to get what he wants. For the first time he has someone who's on his side and no one else's.

And in the middle of all of that, she becomes his friend. His confidant. His co-schemer. He's instilled so much trust in her. Allowed her to know so much about him. Things that Marcela doesn't even know. In return, he's met her family (bc as a mutual said, they are always together), she later confesses to him that she lied to her dad about how she started off as his secretary (not assistant). He feels, up until the embargo happens, that he knows her.

But then he hears she has a boyfriend and suddenly he feels a sense of betrayal. Why didn't she confide this personal information with him when he probably gave her his social security number? (and also his company but he's not even thinking about the company when he hears the possibility that she has a boyfriend). Now suddenly he has to share her?? (Mi Betty tiene novio??) That all that loyalty, admiration, and devotion she's shown him up until that moment might not be his at all. On top of that, he realizes that he may not know her as well as he thought and that she may not want him to know her like she knows him. And I think that both offends and hurts him.

The lines from Armando's POV become blurred first because of all the above. The more he trusts her, the more he depends on her, (which scares Mario btw). ect. But it's different for Betty because she is very aware of the lines and when the affair portion starts, she begins to struggle with it.

Of course we know It wasn’t true that she was dating Nicolas, but even if she had had a bf for real, she still wouldn’t have told him. She was really reserved and constantly tried to keep her personal life private before their affair

She absolutely would not have told him and the only reason the cuartel thought she had a thing for Nicolas was bc Mariana read her the cards and the cards implied that there was a man in Betty's life and they teased her about it. She used Nicolas's name to cover up her growing feelings for Armando as a consequence of her attempting to keep her private life private. And the sad thing about that is once Armando gets word about Nicolas and the boyfriend rumors, Betty writes in her diary that she fears something bad will happen. And, u know, it does.

And also they way he reacted after Charlie Zaa kissed her on the cheek and she got all excited? And to react like that with Marcela in close proximity?

Jealous of the way she enjoyed Charlie Zaa's attention, straight up forgot Marcela was there. Also, the fact that for a nanosecond she admired another man that wasn't him.

...but with someone else in the picture that was not involved on their business in any way? His whole jealousy would have been very hard to disguise. Or would Mario still find a way to get paranoid and suspicious?

Mario would still find a way to be suspicious. If it was someone, say for example, some old co worker from the bank she worked at--We'll call him Bank Guy. If Bank Guy was Betty's BF, Mario would say 'Well how do we know we can really trust her when she didn't tell you that Nicolas was working for Terramoda? How do we know she won't also tell Bank Guy about the embargo? How do we know she won't also give a job to Bank Guy?' It would still bother Armando that she didn't tell him about hypothetical Bank Guy bc he thought they had a reciprocal friend\schemer\employee\boss relationship (you're right, he's insane).

Was she really not allowed to have a love life while Ecomoda was hers?

This requires an essay length response bc BOY do I have thoughts on this!!!! Short Answer: In Armando's eyes, NO. Because that's his Work Wife.

....I had watched lfmb before and Lety’s revenge wasn’t enjoyable to me because the filler they added before she read the letter made it very obvious that Fernando was in love with her and already wanted to cancel his wedding to be with her instead...

I watched LFMB when was like, 16, and have gone back a couple times to rewatch some scenes and no--Lety's gaslighting arc doesn't hit the same. Even tho I will always defend LFMB's 'before the letter filler arc' bc its cute, it makes the story lose its pacing. Betty has to read the letter right after the second night, right as Armando feelings are at a high point so that their roles are reversed. Lety and Fernando aren't as calculating, they're too emotional (crybabies), their romance reads like two infantile adults who grew up lonely. Betty and Armando are not like that at all. They're set up as soulmates, but their inner problems as people are not identical.

...whereas Armando tried to deny his feelings for so long, put on a façade in front of Mario even when it was no longer believable that even he had to call him out on it, all of this made this whole arc very satisfying to watch as a viewer.

LFMB really robs Fernando of this bc they didnt want him to be unlikable. Armando at the beginning of the story is not someone you wanna see get the girl, but that's part of his journey. And modern audiences dont understand that. Fernando not hiding his love for Lety doesn't hit the same as watching Armando fight with himself and making excuses for his feelings and then finally witnessing him say to an empty office 'Armando Mendoza you're in love for the first time in your life and it's with Beatriz Pinzon Solano'.

That is the build up audiences are waiting for with a character like Armando and when Fernando does it....It's doesn't hit and it's not as memorable.

Can i kindly redirect your attention to the fact that Talay easily caught Puen and held him without problems around the waist like 👀 Something tells me this is not the first time it happened

YOU CAN AND YOU SHOULD BECAUSE I /KNOW/ THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE 👀👀👀

and like not to be that person but im obsessed with how everyone involved in this show decided that top/bottom discourse is stupid and that the only reason puentalay is called like that is because it rolls off the tongue better than talaypuen. p'x kicked the door open the first day of workshop like LISTEN UP PEOPLE. WE'RE MAKING THESE BOYS SWITCHES. THEY BOTH LIKE TO MANHANDLE AS MUCH AS THEY LIKE TO BE MANHANDLED AND I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. one employee in the background timidly raising their hand and going like but how are we gonna do that if we gotta keep things PG-13. jimmy heard that and went like CHALLENGE ACCEPTED meanwhile p'x had already pulled up a 23 pages power point presentation on HOW TO USE TROPES TO VISUALLY SHOW THAT YOUR CHARACTERS ARE VERSES

[destiny-in-the-universe]

question if there was a season 3 rc9gn, who could know the identity of the ninja and not tell anyone and keep it a secret if there was a season 3

Alright, this might be my last ask for the day- at least when it comes to my non in character asks, but let's go!

Fair warning, this may be a long post because uh- I just get into it to be honest.

If and when because I will not accept anything less, we had gotten a new season- these are the characters I feel would be able to know about Randy, I mean the Ninja!

First and foremost is Theresa- like, even without the angle of Fowlham, I would've loved to see this interaction. Theresa is a selfless young girl who has a lot of potential to be clued in on the Ninja's identity; especially when it's implied behind the scenes that she has a crush on Randy, but even with that- even if we took that out, the Ninja still saved her and I think because of that it might compel her into keeping his secret. She wouldn't want to put him in harm's way.

Second and this is important, and the one I most wanted to talk about because it honestly makes a lot of sense- not just from the angle of story, but because they had SO many interactions and for what?? They wasted a perfectly good element, but to get to the point- my next choice is Julian! Like, come on- we had the Ninja, Howard, and Julian work together for... who knows how long in the Land of Shadows (firmly convinced time works differently in that realm, but this is just my own headcanon-), but we also had the episodes before that where they had more interactions. We all know Howard's a little stingy, but then again- Randy's weird jealousy streak has me dying; anyway! Julian would keep that secret and bring it to his grave, you cannot convince me otherwise.

I also feel like if there were to be a third member who got clued in, oddly enough it's Debbie and if this is all to have Debbie, Howard, Randy, and Theresa be friends, I have no idea what you're talking about coughs but anyway! Like I don't think Debbie really understands the dangers and what the Ninja is actually dealing with, but when she does - this girl better get a redemption arc. There's only so much that can be done with cartoons, but I SWEAR - like, these four (or five if Julian's included) had better be friends in season three or I will riot.

Anyone else would somehow end up spilling the Ninja's identity; except maybe Heidi Weinerman, but that's a big what-if because I do not have a full read on her character but also fuck canon, amirite? /lh

Okay, this is less 'they'll know in season three' and more 'wouldn't it be neat if someone already knew or was just suspicious' type thoughts because THERE'S POTENTIAL in the teachers kind of or fully knowing who the Ninja is- like, especially if it had been Slimovitz because, woo-wee, you can't tell me you can't see the vision. Kind of like in those fics where Lancer from Danny Phantom discovered who Phantom really was, because there's nothing that wouldn't convince me otherwise- if Slimovitz knew, if ANY of the teachers, they will protect any of the Ninjas. Yes, that includes Mac Antfee.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Can you do a tutorial on how your art process is done I’m about to quit on Art everything I make fucking sucks .

hey anon !! My art process is almost non existent cause i haven’t been able to stick to One definitive way and i don’t want to cause i think its limiting. I still have a long way to go for improving my skills and learning new things and figuring out different styles !!

Heres a quickk drawing showing what my “main” process is

This is something i generally have stuck to for most of my posted drawings (i can post things specific to some drawings on a separate reblog ^^ im just to lazy to get pictures of em for examples rn)

Doodle !! I cant visualize shit, and usually have a very vague idea of what id like to draw Or just nothing at all. So I doodle messily with expressive gestures till’ i find something that sticks

choose one final concept/sketch and clean it up a lil so i have a way better idea of what im getting myself into

Base colors cause i hate doing lineart. So i just go straight into colors casue its fun and i like fun!! Right on top or on a diff layer it doesnt matter. I color pick with my eyes and put base colors or anything i think it would be cool. No pressure and it can messy cause I’ll clean it up and figure shit out later

fuck around and find out (rendering ig)—> i cant explain it super well or definitively. I just layer and throw colors on top till im satisfied or Done with it. I flip my canvas a bunch or check my values to make sure the results come out to look more coherent regardless of the mess of color

Im just a simple person and cant handle something that requires too many steps or things that havta be done Just right so this works for me atm. This may not be your jam but finding a process in that works for you through trial an error is just a part of art. Do what works for you!! I think experimenting is so important even if it sucks in the end

(more Words / “advice ?” under cut)

I have so many shitty drawings and sketches and even colored things that outweigh the tiny bits of art i decide to show off

I totally get that creating art can get really discouraging at times; not getting the results you want when you want them no matter how much effort you put in just sucks, but it won’t always be that way :] even if it takes you 10 years to find your groove and see improvement or 2 years, it’ll happen. I find that i’ve only improved when i actively didn’t give a fuck about how my art looks and only cared that i was having fun through it all, and thats hard cause perfectionism is a bitch and its hard to get rid of. You could improve with studies and daily practice for sure but moving towards improvement can be as fun and light n breezy as you want to make it, like taking a break to explore different hobbies or changing up mediums or fucking around and experimenting with it can help !!! Allow ur art to be bad; cause fuck it, at least you made something and thats really really cool. Once you cut urself some slack it’ll be easier to improve upon your skillset and slowly but surely get to where you want

Sorry im a bit tired idk if this is coherent so heres a more direct thing i’d like to say:

Maybe ur art isn’t where you want it to be rn and ik it can kill ur motivation to keep going at it (i’ve experienced this feeling a lot and im sure so have many others). But you gotta ease up on urself and stop worrying about results so you can allow yourself to experiment and have fun!! And its hard getting into that mindset but you gotta keep trying and you’ll find it getting easier

[freakbullet]

Idk if it’s gonna come off as intrusive or if it’s something you don’t want to talk about, but as a huge fan of your art I wanted to ask you the reasons why you don’t draw anymore. Surely there are reasons

[difeisheng]

So since you mentioned inkpot gods fanghua...thoughts on the old witch sleep and the good man grace li lianhua?

anon why did you say this. head in hands

it's making me think of li lianhua's first few years post-donghai, learning to claw out an existence for himself from the rotting story of li xiangyi. it's not an easy transition, he's still torn between letting go and guilt and self-loathing, and when he closes his eyes at night still li xiangyi tries to live and dies inside him all over again because he's not that person anymore, he knows that, and yet. li xiangyi would never go out any way but kicking and screaming
