I swear to the Maker, I'm gonna post a new update before the end of the year even if I were to die doing it.

#text post #it's almost ready too #just a stubborn scene to finish...#that's going to take me ages #it's kind of a challenge with myself #i NEED to post at least one update a month #and the current count is only 11 updates for 2023 #that will not do #i won't stand for it #order must be restored to the universe

♫ I do what I want/Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun/I don't need anything from anyone ♫

(ID in Alt) you guys ever think about your own posts and get upset?? Anyway Damian Wayne I love you I'm so sorry your life is like that

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dc robin #batman and robin #alfred pennyworth #dick grayson #bruce wayne #lyrics are ofc from American Teenager by ethel cain #the lyrics are a bit too specific to specifically be a damian song and the verses talk about like. christian church and substance abuse #but thag chorus???? ohhhh baby #its also stephcore btw. to me at least #ANYWAY this took. forever and i did while feeling sick/off in the run up to my period so frankly it's a miracle it got finished at all #but yknow for now im fairly happy w this one. played around w the colours and challenged myself to really put my all into the linework #there's some details here n there that r wrong (failsafes design is. all kinds of wonky) but like. who give a shit #anyway my brain and hands are on vacation for the next few days <3 #btw the blood on damians hands is a reference to the upcoming B&R cover (for 11 or 12 i think?) where damians-#-beating the living daylights out of bane. B&R has mostly been chill n slow so far but these issues...ohhh i am SEATED #uhh anyway yeah <3 #OH WAIT #mine #< haha. art tag i always forget

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher

#happy world bipolar day to all my bp babies #(more thoughts at the end of the tags)#shameless #shamelessnet #shamelessedit #ian gallagher #cameron monaghan #*macygifs #bipolar disorder #hello pals how are we doin #i made this gif set in july of 2023 and never posted it because 1) i was terrified to share it and potentially see Bad Takes in the tags #and 2) because my hyperfixation was waning. and while both of those things are still mostly true (the fixation comes and goes)#i feel like it's really important to share as ian's bipolar storyline was not only so vital to his character it was a bit of representation #that isn't often given to the disorder and those (like myself) who live with it every single day #world bipolar day is a day where we can both celebrate ourselves and our resilience and also raise awareness of the reality of the disorder #which is both terrifying and beautiful at its core. this disease is not a death sentence or a sentence to an unfulfilled and miserable life #while there are challenges galore when it comes to balancing life with this disorder it IS possible to live a full and productive life #and i think it's really important to have representation of that in media - and while shameless dropped the ball on a LOT of storylines #over the years THIS is the one they really fucking nailed and i am incredibly grateful #i first started watching shameless while in the midst of a major depressive episode and i was later (finally) diagnosed during an extended #hypo/manic episode - this show and ian's storyline got me through so much and made me feel so seen and validated in my struggles #world bipolar day is also vincent van gogh's birthday (happy birthday buddy) who was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder #and who experienced both depressive and hypo/manic episodes during his lifetime (and was regularly institutionalized)#it takes a lot of help and support to keep us going. it takes the support of our family and friends and *most* of all #it takes patience and kindness and understanding - which is so so so easy to give if you are willing to love and listen #so please. be willing. listen to our stories. be patient with us. show us love without conditions. support us in any way you can.#we are worth it #i promise #anyway. that's really all i wanted to say. happy world bipolar day to those who celebrate (me) and may all of us living with this disorder #go on to live happy fulfilling beautiful magical lives

In order: Undertale Papyrus, Gravel (from @maxladcomics's au), Sharp (gemknight fell papyrus)

#fluo's art #papyrus #undertale papyrus #undertale au #gemknight fell papyrus #gravel #colour palette challenge. kind of #technically i challenged myself #the Gravel and Sharp drawings have been sitting in my folders for a while #the colours for UT Papyrus reminded me of post-its so I made something that I'd make on a post-it #minus the completely filled in colours

hal whos actually really stressed about his mortality, not in a 'i didnt godtier' way but in a 'if the body i worked so hard to get gets any kind of injured it'll fuck me up emotionally for 3 months at the VERY least' kind of stressed

#our t #his relationship with tangebility and carbon-based existence feels.... delicate. to say the least #dirk is also stressed abt it but in a different way #in a 'if he gets hurt i'll actually kill everyone around me and then myself' kind of way LMAO #its Not Good they need couples therapy and individual therapy fuckin stat #but they wont look into it cause they both think they can do it themselves #like bros self-therapy only works if youre open to actively challenging urself & ur thoughts/urges #and not just trying to cut them outta you [1 million facepalms]

Have you published this yet? 😭 i NEED IT

I have not, I'm so sorry 😭 I am a very slow writer and fake dating real feelings turned into a longer fic than I anticipated!! I do have a tag for it now where I post snippets, and here's some more of The Phone Call as an apology for how long this dang fic is taking (little language warning for anyone who needs it!):

#tysm for your interest!!#i don't want to jinx anything by saying when i HOPE to post it by #but now that most of the july writing challenges have wrapped up i can shift my focus back to it + the ice cream shop au #something i've learned is the longer i stare at a fic the more i will doubt myself #so writing anything longer than 3-4k words is Really Stressful #but i truly do love this fic sm and i'm so hopeful and determined to do it justice !!#it's 3 chapters and a part of me just wants to like post the first one and get it out there #but a larger part of me kind of wants to be able to post it on some kind of definite schedule #and chapter 3 was giving me a Problem as of like a week and a half ago #fake dating real feelings #liza writes #erasermic #aizawa shouta #yamada hizashi #ask #long post

Been LOVING your lil magician folks recently please continue they're beautiful and very cute and cool and also very well-designed!! 🥺❤️

thank you for the kind words !!! im not much of a writer, but i do have some sort of story in mind for them.. theyre bitter rivals who end up as roommates bc of their scatterbrained elderly landlord lol

#idk how much of it im gonna keep or change but thats basically the gist of it ^_^#i dont know if i could ever write a solid linear story bc im very indecisive and tend to change things a lot so most of what i make ends up #very abstract or nonlinear.. just short drabbles or stuff that can be slotted into a general setting or premise #although i do want to challenge myself to try and write some sort of enemies/rivals to friends because i have a huge weak spot for that #dynamic!! i tend to be a little soft on my characters which i think has to do with me being a conflict avoidant person. so maybe exploring #this kind of dynamic will help me experiment with my sense of storytelling. although i cant promise it will be written well lol #im also thinking of making their story part of a bigger world so kinda like an omnibus?? i have another story in mind i think i can fit int #the same canon and itd be funny if theres like a bunch of wacky going ons between different apartment tenants nichijou style #but we'll see!!! thank you for your interest in these little shits!!!!#my art #myart #my oc #oc #presto #shuffle #house of cards #oc talk #ask #doodles #yapping

Lucy could not get out of the house quicker - so the night of her 18th birthday she snuck out to meet Joseph and head for the train station.

She felt conflicted about leaving her family. Although she felt they had treated her badly, she knew that her leaving like this would crush them. Lucy worried that she might never get to see them again. Would they even want to now that she had defied them?

As soon as they entered the train station a feeling of relief washed over her. Lucy felt free. A feeling she had only felt when playing in the fields as a child, making flower crowns with her friends, and the first time her and Joseph had shared their first kiss. She realized she didn't care that she was leaving her family anymore. She would rather be happy.

#aaaand that's the last you'll ever see of lucy!#just kidding i'll probably do small updates on how she's doing #i'm gonna miss her sm..... she was my fav #on one hand i kind of regret spending so much time on her storyline for her not to be heir but I couldn't help myself #ts4 historical #1890 #ts4 decades challenge #the landgraab legacy #ts4 gameplay #ts4 legacy #simblr #lucy landgraab

Ok fellow Scogue-ies, y’know how (in my previous blog before I got kicked out for who knows why 😞) I set up a prompt list to create an image for every month of September depicting Scott Summers/Cyclops x Rogue/Anna Marie and dubbed it SCOGUE-Tember?

And while I managed to eke out various images now and then, I wasn’t able to reach that number nor fulfill it in that same month of last year? to be absolutely fair i did predict i would fail 😆

Whelp,

I’m gonna try it again!🤡

Because if at first you don’t succeed,

figure out what was hindering you the first time,

readjust,

and try again until you start seeing positive results!

Or, you know, keep reminding yourself that you won’t ever see more of your fav otp’s content unless you feed your fellow shippers the food you want to be fed 😚

So!

*If you have been following my art, you know I sometimes go completely off script and submit something unrelated to the original list. I hope that is still okay!!!

**Yes you may!!! Btw my written headcanons/rants/etc are also included, but poll answer slots have limited space

Here’s the link to the original list!

#shenanigans #scogue #scoguetember #scoguetember2024 #art prompt #art challenge #scott x rogue #scott x anna marie #cyclops x anna marie #anna marie x cyclops #rogue x cyclops #rogue x scott #anna marie x scott #otp: sensory deprivation #trying to be kind to myself whilst also pushing myself can be a challenge #but I’m willing to try!!!!

It took 3 months but I am finally finished!

#botw #the legend of zelda #breath of the wild #I knew I was up for a challenge when I started this but I feel that the challenging pieces are the ones I learn the most from #Also I wanted a botw poster for myself so I thought why not draw it myself. A little challenge ^^#It was a ton of fun! Never experimented around with brushes a lot #Painting stone was a lot of fun because I had found a brush in a previous piece that I just vibe with immensly for stone #which is funny considering that before I found it I couldn't figure out how to draw stone for the life of me #its Kritas e)_Marker_Dry brush btw #The trees took forever. The final one is actually the second try after I had already fully painted the once #I did a bunch of experiments with all kinds of brushes before I setteled on this and it worked surprisingly well #Then I tjought I was done and realised that I forgot the tower and these things are suuuper detailed #anyway it didn't take me 3 months of work. I just took loooong breaks because I got sidetracked and for some time forgot abou it #Or just experimenting #I am very pleased with how it came out though!#Never challenged myself to this kind of thing before so that was fun!#And I learned a lot!#you know what technically this is also #lu wild #my posts #my art #duelling peaks

#Robin processes emotions on main #already I am struggling with studying Japanese #not with the language itself so much. I'm making progress on that #but with this horrible kind of anxiety #I writhe not being the best at things that I'm trying to do. I writhe wondering if I should just give up.#this is why I had a horrible time studying Greek in high school as well: can't know it well enough fast enough #it's like I'm dying a little every day convincing myself no it's FINE not to know everything right away. it's OKAY.#it's okay if you stop learning Japanese in the future and it's okay if you keep learning Japanese. it's okay it's okay it's—#hhhhhhhhhhhh #it's such a complicated language it's making my stomach hurt right now thinking about how I want to learn kanji but it's So Much #and I don't know HOW to learn it #I've never really learned a language before (Greek does NOT count) and I'm learning all the complexities of the Japanese language and going #going oh....... this is........ actually extremely much...... and I'm never going to be a native speaker.......#I'm trying So Hard to embrace dying a little to my perfectionism every day but it's HARD. WAILS #No one Told me learning a language would make me want to cry because it's simply impossible to master!!!!#WAH!!!!#I'm trying to keep sight of the fact that it's not about my pride it's about having fun and embracing Small challenge and Small rewards #I really do feel so happy every time I recognize a word or understand the grammar when watching anime #it's just thinking about the Entire language that's psyching me out #Robin learns Japanese

The consequences of my poor financial decisions are here!!

#blame Kat for this lmao. she got the Yangchen novels first and I very easily give in to peer pressure (that wasn't exerted. but whatever)#three days earlier than scheduled too. which worked out perfectly bc I picked them up on the way home from grandma's #and carried them for 2 km. 2 hardcover books + the thick cardboard boxset they're in #+ the backpack full of food my grandma gave me #in the rain #I nearly fucking died #I'm not made for this level of physical exercise 😅#okay moving on #nia stop calling things like this poor financial decisions challenge #it cost like. the equivalent of 40 bucks #I have 30 times as much hidden away in my sock drawer #and I am usually responsible with my spending. I'm allowed a slightly more expensive treat every once in a while #also my dad doesn't know but I'm sure if I would him 'hey I spent 3.8k on a pair of books is that okay'#he'd be like 'why tf are you asking when have I ever said no to you spending money'#but again. I do try to be mindful #which is why as much as I want the lok art books and could probably ask for money for them. I won't #bc they cost an arm and a leg and I cannot morally allow myself to spend that kind of money #anyway. getting distracted again #do you know how hard it was to get these? I checked like 3 marketplaces before I did #and I was fully ready to get them in russian because non-classical english books are impossible to come by here #sanctions and all that. but somehow I did. and it only cost half the money in my bank account #I don't even know if Russian editions exist. these books were written before the war and before the gay propaganda ban but still #I didn't find them when I looked. maybe they don't sell them now that the law is in place or smth #I don't really care enough to look it up #the point is. I now own the books and can happily read about best girl kyoshi whenever I want #if the stress for an upcoming event doesn't kill me. that is #also I have read rok before but it was 3 years ago so my memory is vague. and I just realised how much thinner sok is?#I'll have to check the page count later

The priest on After Island maintains his power by convincing the entire community to fear something HE is conjuring that's actually completely harmless. I love that Eliot gets to bring it to light, and to play a part in liberating this community from that religious oppression, considering his abusive upbringing was almost certainly influenced by religious authority figures who were teaching the community to fear queerness.

#it's not a perfect metaphor but it resonates!#kind of a buffy-style literalization #(i don't think we ever get cold hard canon confirmation that eliot was raised in a homophobic religion. right? so that's why i'm hedging #even though it's hard to imagine that's not what was going on)#i have a lot of half-formed thoughts in my notes app from the rewatch #and i'm challenging myself to just post some of them bc if i wait til they're polished they're never gonna see the light of day!!#unauthorized magicians rewatch #tm 3x02 #the magicians #eliot waugh #key quest #tm #cp
