Hawke being left in the Fade is heartbreaking...

but it's so dramatic, and it's just so HER.

(EDIT: forgot to add, lyrics Mitski, "Francis Forever")

#in my HC she comes back though #it might take like 8 years but #she'd come back with a “soo what did i miss?”#a little fade-crazed and looney sure #but alive #fenris #fenhawke #dragon age #dragon age 2 #dragon age hawke #myart #aisieart

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

I started watching critical role and I wasn't planning to get super into it, I just wanted to have something to put on in the background while I draw/game/whatever, however I'm 20 eps in and incredibly attracted to Liam, so I know exactly where this is going

Basically, hello Critter Tumblr, I'm gonna make myself comfortable

#critical role #I'm starting from season 1 though #so uh I might take a while to catch up #8 years of content is a lot #I was looking to expand my fanart though and this seems like a perfect avenue

people always ask why sonic didnt react to being tortured in sonic forces but personally i can see sonic pushing through it and not acknowledging it because he thinks saving the world is more important than his own problems and doesnt want anyone to worry about him. plus i highly doubt he went through super brutal physical torture anyway considering this is a kids game. what bothers me more is that sonic comes back from space jail during the time tails was separated from the rest of the group and doesnt question his absence at all even though almost all his other friends are there and a war is going on

#iaccidentally deleted the post i just made about this so im making anotehr onesorry #like tails can take care of himself and sonic probably knows that too #but surely he'd be at least a little concerned about his 8 year old best friend slash baby brothers safety #when hes out by himself in the middle of a war ?!?!?!?!? and the others might not even know where he is ?!?!?!?!#i say might not because i cant remember if the rest of the resistance had contact with tails or not they just said he lost it and ran off #but still

just like. bit late to the TMA2 party here but casual reminder that if you stay on that thing where you keep looking for throughlines and Clever Thematic Links between Mechanisms albums and Magnus Archiveses I will come to your house and beat you around the head with a 2x4 painted with the words THERE WERE NINE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THOSE ALBUMS

#red said #the mechanisms #reminded of this bc hereward just came up on shuffle and i remembered the multiple people being like #WHAT IS JONNY TRYING TO SAY BY SAYING #'HE LOVED HIS FRIEND MARTIN ' HMMMMM #and the answer is nothing #first of all bc i don't think Jonny was actually involved in Hereward although i may be mistaken #but mostly bc the person who decided that Hereward's servant who he loved was called Martin was a fucking. 12th century monk. you fools.#IT'S IN THE GESTA HEREWARDI IT PREDATES TMA BY ALMOST A MILLENNIUM #actually Martin might be a Kingsley invention I've never read the gesta herewardi I'm not a nerd #but that's still almost 200 years pre tma so the point stands #ANYWAY #that's not really the point the point is that people keep acting like there's some meaning to the parallels between Bifrost and TMA speci #specifically. and that may be true but that's not some master plan by Jonny because JONNY DID NOT WRITE THE BIFROST INCIDENT #Jonny wrote HIS PARTS in the Bifrost Incident but the rest of the band wrote THEIR parts and the story was mostly not Jonny's #so no he wasn't laying some masterful seeds and no they don't take place in the same universe #and no he's not the Genius Responsible For The Mechanisms it was a COLLABORATIVE PROJECT #with at least 4 or 5 ppl cocreating the bulk of each story and all members of the band putting a lot of themselves and their ideas in #and it is real fuckin grating having it framed as Jonny's Great Work when every person in that band had a similar level of creative input #Jonny's great. so are the other 8 people who made the albums

(tumblr old yeller'd the quality, click to see Him)

So this morning I was minding my business and watching instagram reels while I waited for my ADHD meds to kick in and all of a sudden I saw this REALLY fantastic little art animation to that Mama's Boy song depicting a trans man (made by @ unluckyy.dog on insta). It was really evocative, but I had this nagging suspicion that the guy looked super familiar, so I opened the description to be BLASTED by the information that this was in fact an animation depicting Aaron from the Aphmau minecraft roleplays (the tag was for MyStreet specifically). Cue memories FLOODING back to me, and I went a bit nuts and read the wiki and tried my very best to brush up on the original Minecraft Diaries series. Turns out it's not really very well documented (the synopsis on the wiki skips a lot of relevant info and has a habit of just. Assuming you know who a character is and why they're there) so I'm sorta doing my best to string the events together with mostly memory.

I didn't really think today I would be designing my headcanons for characters from fucking MCD in 2024 as an adult, but honestly there's a lot of really cool ideas and moments in those videos, and these characters have just REALLY stuck with me over the years, and I want to give them a bit of tribute for how much they mattered to me as a kid.

#minecraft diaries #aphmau mcd #aaron mcd #aaron of falconclaw #ngl aaron is tied very directly to my gender identity #and i just forgot all about him #i also had like the hugest crush on him lmfao bro made me a man and then made me gay about it #i think I might stick with this a bit #i had a ton of fun drawing aaron and i honestly really really love how this turned out #so maybe i'll take a crack at some of the others #i dont remember almost any of them very well other than him tho #like to be clear I was invested as it was coming out like 8 or 9 years ago and i was literally a child at the time #i do NOT recall the events of this show #even having read as much of the wiki as i did #idk! we shall see #i even put on my music from around the same era to draw it

hoyo loves to update the spiral abyss by making 11-1 even more fucking annoying every reset🥰

#genshin impact #spiral abyss #defend the leyline monolith how i hate you #love that they chose a slime barrage this time #ya know the enemies that are always going into the fucking AIR😪#caving and shoving venti on to my dendro team because im over this #at least my wanderer team doesn’t mind it too bad😪#i never bring the full set ups i want to floor 11 purely because of the dumb defense trial #does NOT help that it takes me like 8 years to turn the camera around since i play on ps4 #might go fuck with settings to make it faster

Quick question: on a scale of happy to disaster, how is crocodile going to end up by the end?

im not sure yet! it'll be in the bittersweet territory but which kind exactly i havent decided yet.

#crocau ask #ive only have plan up to arc 7 and a general idea of what arc 8 might be like. would make sense for it to be the last arc.#but i already know what the epilogue will be like. man. 8 arcs seems so doable actually. would take two at least 2 years to finish this #if i were to like draw the comics faster

nothing makes me feel more pathetic than when I’m trying to do a basic as fuck sum in my head and my brain is giving me absolutely nothing

not a single gear moving up there. Brain just clocks out when numbers are involved and trying to force it to figure out even the simplest calculations physically feels excruciating and exhausting

meanwhile my dad and my brother will be looking at me like I’m some alien experiment bc how can I be so stupid that I can’t do this shit in my head?

#I’ve always suspected I’ve got some degree of dyscalculia bc there are other related issues I have in that area #I used to slam my head on the table in primary school in frustration and cry when I couldn’t get my brain to figure things out #my exams and jotter margins were peppered with loads of tiny dot marks from where I would have to physically make a mark to count #and then count up how many marks I’d made to do the multiplication or whatever. Like 6x7 I would do six sets of seven dots and count them #I can’t do it in my head and school made me feel like an absolute moron for it but no-one ever suggested I might have an issue there #I couldn’t memorise times tables beyond like 2 and 5 and 10 consistently. Even 4 wouldn’t stick somehow #and 6 7 and 8 made me cry from how much I struggled with them. I still can’t remember them #I had a maths tutor in high school for my last year and every week he would have to teach me things again bc it wouldn’t stay in my head #My dad would shout at me when I was asking for help at maths homework bc he somehow thought shouting the sum at me would make me Get it #uncle would throw questions at me and my bro to figure out and my brother would get it instantly and I would be sat there struggling #and then the inevitable impatient sound of a disbelieving ‘come on!!’ would follow and I’d feel worse bc im expected to do it and I couldnt #there’s a home video of me trying to figure out the difference between the years 1982 and 1987 and the pause while the gears struggle #ton work out the number before saying it is agonising to listen to bc I am genuinely taking that long to do it

When your little sister shares her playlist with you and you both resonate with the songs in very different ways.

Version without the other stuff cause the center art is so much cuter than I intended it to be and I love it on it's own

#when the song is meant to be about fighting your inner demons and you take it as ''wow this is soooo self insert x canon character''#quinn's 12 here btw while atlas is 17/18. might give them a bigger age gap cause currently atlas starts parenting her at five and WHEW.#pidove #heracross #pmd #pokemon #pkmn #starfall #quinn #atlas #i mean hes being parentified thats the point that hes super young but like. it might feel a biiit better if hes slightly older idk #not a whole lot just like. maybe give them 8 or 9 years apart instead of 5 #cause he gets NO help right from the start

Lol I love how ppl think the Leafs are losing because the big guys don't care enough. It's definitely not the defense and goaltending issues, it's clearly 16/34/88 throwing a tantrum because keefe is a big old meanie who won't let them sit next to each other on the bench or something...

real fjlksdjfkldsjfklds. you're a loser in this sport until you're not and instead of looking at realistically why that is and acknowledging that luck plays a bit of a role one way or another... you're just scum and don't try as hard as anyone else. like ???? how easily we're forgetting the beginning of the season when our problem was actually the opposite of what it is rn... we didn't show up on time and then "willed" ourselves back into games by scoring in bunches and going to ot. it's really not as simple as wanting it or not wanting it, and thinking those guys don't go out every night and actively try to win the game is fucking silly.

#easks #theyre more competitive than we can even comprehend... u do not get that far without that drive... what is hard to understnaflkdsa #some days their fucking body might not have it.... some days smth off ice might be distracting them... theyre people bro #it cracks me up to see the nate mac vs am34 discourse bc like #nate now gets to be known as a Real Winner bc . His team won the cup but ppl will individually attribute that to him #like girl he didnt even win the conn fucking smythe.. that was not all him what are u saying #takes so much luck and team work to get the stanley cup too but. Cant acknowledge that #also dont u dare talk abt how he didnt win it in his first 8 years.#god forbid auston matthews take longer than this many playoff runs to try to do it lol

im so disappointed in my art lately . im not a beginner artist, but i feel like everything i do looks like i am . i feel like it would only be acceptable for a beginner . i havent made any progress since i was 11 . today is not a good day

#artist problems? except i barely even count as an artist atp #non serious vent sorry #i dont usually textpost because i much prefer just sticking it in the tags and hoping i forget about it #but i dont have anything to post. i literally have not been able to make anything at all.#does any other artist feel like this?#i know everyone says they feel like this but i cant decide if its comforting or condescending #all the other artists say “oh i hate my art!” when their art is good because its just the artists eye or whatever its called #and on one hand its comforting because everyone hates their art #but on the other hand its so discouraging because if you hate your art so much #how does mine look? how bad is mine?#i dont like talking abt weed bc its kinda weird for a 14 year old but i feel like the only times i can draw without crying -#- is when im high #i dont know i need to take a break or something #might focus on writing but everything is just so frustrating to me lately #i cant promise literally anything anymore because everytime i get excited to create its just GONE so fast #becaus i cant like anything i make #i keep searching for some kind of art advice that will actually help but i never can figure out how to apply it #and most of it is just “keep practicing!” as if i havent been practicing since i was 8 years old #i feel like at this point i have to just start all the way over but i dont even know how #at this point i would rather art regress than keep churning out the same mediocre garbage ive been drawing since 2022 #and its not even that im pressuring myself to draw. its that all my art has just looked the same for so long and im so frustrated #i literally cannot draw anything without crying anymore its really upsetting #anyway sorry for the negativity on main :( this blog has kinda become my diary and im just an overdramatic teenager or whatever i dont know
