#it fails pretty badly

[oxygen-stealer]

Just your average very human teenage girl with very human friends and normal amounts of violent tendencies

I've decided that 2012 April is actually creepy and unhinged. Bitches love her for her uncanny and distinctly inhuman swag.

Seriously tho I'm majorly disappointed they didn't have her being half Kraang be more noticeable besides her powers n stuff. I just want it to be where you look at her in the dark and she looks back at you with glowing green and yellow eyes and you just think "that doesn't belong on earth". Ugggh look I just rlly like aliens and uncanny valley and I think April deserves to be a little insane.

bake me please is such a funny show bc one could stop watching it at ep 5 and get a pretty solid conclusion with almost every plot point wrapped up pretty well and one of the main characters straight up dead on the floor

Vs. DJ Subatomic Supernova (Base Version) | Heaven Studio Custom Remix

(WARNING: FLASHING LIGHTS) “This remix will ripple to the rims of the universe and back! Try not to get sucked into its mesmerizing cacophony! Listen closely for the audio cues.” --------------------- This is my first remix in Heaven Studio, but it's essentially ported from my original mix from the Rhythm Heaven Remix Editor. I think it's decent for my first mix. I'd like to eventually port over all of my old RHRE mixes into this editor, but it'll probably be a while until I can (or until Heaven Studio updates with the games I need to remake those mixes).

thinking about the line "You can never undo what I've done to her, you know." again.

i have a lot of thoughts on fandoms and treatment of female characters but i do not seem to have the words to put said thoughts into. frustrating.

[aeide-thea]

sometimes it really is just like. is this all there is. feeling oversensitive & undersocialized—too sensitive to socialize—forever, bc you never got enough ~affirmation~ growing up (poor, pathetic baby; how long will you persist in singing the same self-pitying song…), & so never developed the proper emotional cushioning against the heartache & the thousand natural shocks, &c, &c, &c, &c, &c…

I may sound stupid but I hope this AI art trend will just be a really bad time just like NFTs were.

I don't get how AI bros can think of themselves as artists. I get the frustration of not being able to draw, I've been there, and I guess I had the "privilege" to have the time to learn but.

Please.

To any frustrated person out there

It's never too late to learn how to draw.

Pick a pencil, draw that cool action scene you have in mind, copy Hatsune Miku's box, imitate that fucking lime mouth drawing, anything. It won't look good, but I swear it will if you keep going. For god's sake use that frustration to fuel your motivation. It takes only passion and training to become an artist, talent is a fraud.

Idk, art is the thing that makes us human in my opinion. And I can't imagine a world where there's no comics, no novel to read, no movies to watch, no music to listen to... I'm so sad that artists are always always treated so poorly when they make life worth living. Can you imagine a world without them? Life would be so monotonous man... Artists deserve more respect and recognition.

Someone pulled many all nighters to make this manga you enjoy, someone took many hours of their free time to write that fanfic you're reading, someone bit their fucking finger and went crazy while making the fanart you look at for only 5 seconds (hi that's me sksksk)

Anyway, my fellow artists, writers, musician... In fact when I say artists I'm not only talking about people drawing, I'm really talking about anyone producing art in any form sksks

Anyway. You guys, I love you all so so much and everyday I'm thankful you were born and you make what you make. I'm so proud of you for that, you're all so strong and admirable. Please keep making art, I don't say this just as an encouragement, I say it as someone who really enjoy and admire what you make. You're making me happy, you put little stars in my eyes and my heart. I swear I tell the truth when I say that you make someone go wah with your art, you are shaking someone's world, you are changing an aspect of their life forever with what you make. I know the amount of effort and love you put in your art, I know the horrid pain you're going through while making it, I also know the joy you feel when you're done making it. We share all that together and I think that's wonderful. There is such beauty in our struggle and that's something AI and their users can't understand.

I love you all, deeply, and I'm so thankful for everything you do. 💖

my sketchbook is becoming incomprehensible because I keep flipping it upside-down or sideways to make full use of all the space and now I'm drawing things overlapping because none of this is supposed to be a presentable piece

I think for the first time in my entire life I am using a sketchbook correctly

[like-sands-of-time]

I wonder what ani and padmé would have been like as parents to Luke and Leia, and later grandparents to Ben. Like I don't have any great developed thoughts on that whole au concept I just do love the thought. Ben has so much impressive family, and a lot of uncles and aunts to look up to. If a lot of things had gone a lot differently, idk how, and padmé and ani got to grow older and stronger together, if Ben were to have his grandfather not only as a legend but as a person to hold him and tell him stories, I wonder what that would have been like.

I'm so happy! You gave a thoughtful answer about the republic commando books!!! It's been awhile since I read them but I remember disliking Etain because of her keeping the kid a secret, even though of all people she should know they weren't going to take the kid. And it was good to get more into the realities of clones but I wish they had given them more variation in character, especially the nulls. Vau in the ice is fav part!

Thank you, even more since I too didn’t read the whole series in a long time so I ranted about what stuck in my head the most (and Force knows these issues are thorns in my side for years lol)  

Oh, I totally love Vau in the ice and the robbing bank scene. That man is so precious bastard that always is there to make fun of Skirata even when just saved from death :D

Personally I feel sorry for Etain for she was placed in a difficult position with little real support. Her not telling Darman the truth sucked but as much as her choice was frustrating at times, I somehow understand why she did that. I mean, she was pretty young woman who never had up to this moment any serious romantic and sexual relationship nor any knowledge about raising a child. Etain at first did not tell Darman the truth because she wasn’t sure how to do so, uncertain of his reaction and worried how it will affect him during war and later keep it secret because of Skirata’s threats that literally limited her autonomy - it was Kal who choose the child’s name, who kept constant check and oversaw her activities through people either allied or loyal to him (like Jinart's people on Qiilura or the clones like Ordo who took care of Etain when her pregnancy was in danger), who decided that Darman’s son will be a Mandalorian and when tell him the truth. 

And yes, Etain still could tell her lover the truth despite the consequences but there was no quarance that Skirata would not do anything drastic. Like taking her child away from her to raise Darman’s son somewhere alone or by some of his friends/family. And in contrast to Etain, he had money, contacts and means to make that happen while Etain had no such resources. Even if she could hide her pregnancy all by herself, she wouldn’t be able to be a Jedi and raise her own child at the same time. But even if she decided to quit Order, she still wasn’t economically independent to be on her own with a small baby. Clones and Jedi weren’t paid money for their service, so neither Etain nor Darman were in position to provide needed things for their child. Etain didn’t have a job (and most likely wouldn’t be able to get one stable job as a pregnant woman or a single mother with a just born baby when she didn’t have anyone to rely on), didn’t have a home nor friends outside the Temple / army and Jedi do not financially support those who left the Order as far as we know. Then there is a matter of Darman’s lack of legal status who, as a Republic property couldn’t just leave GAR and there could be some more complicated consequences for affair between Jedi General and clone trooper that could haunt them if the wrong people would find out the truth (Kaminoans, Palpatine, any crazy genetic scientist working for CIS or independent factions).

Even if Jedi didn’t insist on taking her son into Order, Skirata was a different matter to worry about and he gave her very strict conditions in return for his help. So I’m gonna defend Etain on this one, because she was a young woman with no real relationship experiences, no real family to rely on, no money and her biggest “crime” was being  A)Jedi and B) naive to think that Skirata’s kindness should be taken for granted. And the thing that kills me the most about her telling the news first to Kal, was because she wanted to share her happiness with him and because “Skirata was Kal'buir. He was everyone's father” only to be called selfish, insulted and threatened. 

(Her presumed selfishness is a topic for another time, but in the end, she hasn't raped Darman or used him under the influence of mind trick, so it's unfair to put all blame on the woman, whether she wanted to have a child or not.)

I do not like that she kept doing what Skirata demanded in that matter but I can see how the “lie” trapped her and it was harder and harder to tell Darman what was going on. Especially the older I am and have more experience with small kids (thankfully not mine, just my sister’s) to actually see how important family is to help the young mother, the more angry I am at the whole situation and Skirata’s shitty behavior. Seriously, I regret that Etain didn’t tell Walon Vau the big news first, it would save us all three books of family drama since from the start he seemed to be like the only(?) person opting for telling Darman the truth.

As for Nulls, I’m kinda happy they weren’t the main heroes and were kept more in the background. They weren’t bad characters I guess, but I was tired of all the paragraphs about how wonderful and genius the little Skirata’s boys were. Or maybe I should say, less Ordo, more of his brothers would feel better? Dunno. I agree that clones didn’t feel that unique, like yes, everyone had his own personality and all, but the Omegas (and Nulls) kinda blurred one with another? Albeit I suspect it is the fault of the Republic Commando game and the very individual take on Delta Squad who raised the bar high. At least for me. To the point I have theory of mine, that Omegas came from “normal batch” while Vau got the most faulty one and I’m not kidding, the five clones we know were trained by him are either recognised as the most stubborn (Atin), most frightening/efficient cold killer (Sev), most likely pyromaniac (Scorch), gruff, by-the-book tech nerd (Fixer) and one the most balanced Boss who is badass on his own while Omegas are, well, great soldiers and nice men, but beside crack-wise Fi (and Atin) no one really stands out that much? Or I’m just biased. Yeah, I'm.

Oh god I dropped the Netflix The Witcher after S1 because it was so outright disrespectful to the source material. I didn’t realize it was so bad that their lead actor left lmaooo
