To continue with that battle of the bands! Luz post, here’s a Pip edition,

He’s obviously modeled after David Bowie in his design, I particularly took inspo from bowie’s ziggy stardust era because of the fact that the band that Nimbus, luz, Willow and him are apart of is completely inspired by after 70s glam rock musicians and bands (also the story behind Ziggy fits pretty well in specific parts to Pip but anyways)

I’m probably going to do Willow next which I’m pretty excited for

Also yes he did dye his hair for this and regretted it immensely after finding out the hair dye was permanent rather than just being temporary which is the context behind the Bowie edition of “oh, Ariana were really it now” image from the good place redraw, he eventually just makes it brown again by using a concealment stone until it fades out

Fun fact, his eye make does in fact foreshadow something that I’m currently working on properly planning it out and eventually posting it

Another fun fact, Raine was one of the judges of the battle of the bands (this is because they were the only witch ever to win single handily without another band member,Eda was supposed to be alongside them but got banned for some silly antics that snowballed heavily) so when they saw Eda who was attending to see her two favourite knuckleheads and after some high jinks of trying to avoid each the eventually get forced to talk to each other so both Raine and Eda then have to have the worlds most awkward conversation as Raine puts two and two that the kid with bright orange hair is probably Eda’s kid and the conversation would probably go along something like this:

Raine: Eda, I didn’t think I would see you here after what happened last time, did the ban get lifted?

Eda: nope, but if you see the the security around my name isn’t Eda it’s Evelyn *winks*

Raine: *laughs*

Eda: so your judging, right?

Raine; yeah… but it’s not something I personally wanted to do, I kinda got forced into it by kikimora because it’s something to do with finding the best members for the bard coven and she didn’t give me a chance to say no :/

Raine:*sighs*

Eda; yeah that makes sense, you know I thought they finally got to you and brainwashed you into doing this *snorts*

Raine: *laughs* nope just peer pressure for now

Raine: soo what brings you here?

Eda; you see the the kids up there dressed like a unicorn vomited glitter and rainbows on them?

Eda: *points at luz and Pip* Those two in particular are my knuckleheads and I couldn’t pass up a chance to watch them beat a bunch of stuffy band kids *snorts*

Raine: *has finally clicked that the kid with ginger hair who got caught by them while trying to cheat by setting up traps in the arena is probably Eda’s kid*. . . I didn’t know you had kids?

Eda; oh titan no, they’re actually my two weird workers who mooch off of me

Raine: really? The kid with ginger hair looks a lot like you and he even tried to bribe me after I caught him boobytrapping the arena stage

Eda:*snorts and bursts out laughing*

Eda: you mean Pip? no he’s not my kid, he’s not a natural red head that’s a really bad dye job he did to look like some human musician

Eda: and not to brag but I taught him all my secrets and tricks well.

Raine: oh

Eda: I get the confusion but nah I found the kid in the trash haha

Raine; o h?

au masterpost link? or is it? it is /gen

[crybaby-thomas]

I have other work to be doing but I'm procrastinating....

again.

Anyways! Have my OC's

Left to right! (spanning both images):

Foster (Angel), Mickey, Winter, Peaches.

haven't drawn the goobers in a hot minute...

(And thank you Beni for watching my random scribbles for at least a bit /gen and yes, I will ALWAYS call you out specifically. its funny :]) always weird showing off my drawing process, its so complicated :/

ramblings below :>

I'm kind of curious if in my oc's world how would these four non human beings react to meeting Tanner...

Kinda funny thinking Tanner is the only human..

MICKEY WAS HUMAN THE LEGO MONKIE KID TOOK OVER MY BRAIN!

Mickey was a Dying Light 2 OC i made and then cut my hair to be like (before my buzz, currently growing it back out to the hair cut Mickey has). Winter, Peaches, and Foster were all born human.

Foster got cursed by a witch, and became the stand in for Death. Peaches was the daughter of said witch and is now a ghost. Winter got bit by a vampire after nearly being murdered.

Winter doesn't speak much, hurts their throat. Don't question her eyes, idk.. I think I had been rolling back into ew at the time I made them and Peaches...

Peaches speaks sometimes but its always a bit weird. ALSO in the image only recently got together with Winter. i think??

Mickey and Foster at the point of the image have been together for at least 100 years. (Mickey is an immortal, shape-shifting monkey leave me alone.) They're not married, but they are together.

Maybe Winter and Sammi are friends, both are vampires and i feel they would vibe :>

Talking more about Mickey and Angel.

The Mickey has liked Angel since they were human, back with Angel lived in an orphanage. Mickey was waiting for Peaches (who at this point was already dead) and swinnin' around a pond as a fish. mf got caught by Angel and then released as one of the care takers called them back "home".

No one at the time could actually see Peaches except Mickey and Angel. because you know, non human and cursed human.

maybe 70 years later when Angel has yet to die and since fed the city he grew up in, Mickey tells him.

Angel dies the next day, but they don't actually, it's weird. That is the start of when all his skin starts falling off and he becomes Death and a skeleton. He has the ability to look like a human for a short amount of time, but chose not it. So?

ages and shit:

Tanner is probably 24, Sammi is probably around 34 but got bit when he was 23 so he looks younger than he is.

Winter got bit when they were 19, and Peaches died when she was 21.

Though both are now well over 200, along with Mickey and Foster.

Mickey is the oldest, being an ex witches familiar. Peaches is the second oldest, daughter of said witch again (witch is the reason she died), Peaches is only a few year older than Foster, childhood friends before peaches passed. Winter is the youngest of the four, born 20ish years after everyone else. Winter also grew up a few towns over.

moral of the rambling! I need to work on my comic again....

I keep forgetting I have that so I might just redraw EVERYTHING.

🌈✧{Please Do Not Steal, Trace, use my Art in AI and NFTs and Repost/Resubmit my Works. Thank You.}✧🌈

Commission Art I did for xxshaokhonxx , I Had a fun time drawing this and its been a little while last ive done anything MLP related even with commissions- but I think I am getting better with it. The legs [even the back ones] usually are a pain in the butt to draw but I am still trying to work with it. [just like how hands and feet usually are very hard to draw...now I struggle with feet mostly] 

Either way! Happy how this turned out! Chatted with xxshaokhonxx on Ko-fi on what they wanted and went with this for their character in MLP form. Honestly them wanting the hat add on is a nice touch onto their ocs design in my opinion it looks really neat! What do you guys think?

thanks so much for ordering! It was a pleasure working with you on this! ^w^

I need to draw more mlp arts just ideas and also need to redraw or redesign my MLP OCs is all. even for my next gen XD

Warrior OCs REDRAW

More warriors stuff >:)

Artwork and Explanation below!

This is something I had done between the years of 2017 to 2019. I honestly could not tell you where or when. I wasn’t really good at keeping track of or dating my artworks/sketchbooks, so I’m basing this off of the ages of the characters and the quality of art.

This is when I had been neck deep in the Warrior Cats fandom for the very first time, and had my main totally rad not-a-Mary-Sue totally original character: HiddenPelt. Big, muscled, lightning-striped mama who apparently liked to eat snakes in particular. I’d used her NON STOP back then (being kind of a really weird, really rude kid, not gonna lie. Couple of regrets from back then.), but she isn’t actually depicted in this piece! These are two of her kittens that had been conceived in an old roleplay I was in. I couldn’t be normal, so these were two of SIX babies she had that I tried to play as all at once lmfao. That’s actually one of the more fond memories I have, especially for everyone tolerating me.

CricketPaw and ???Paw are at a training clearing, and Cricket gets some revenge. This is one of the FIRST fully colored, “large” scenes I had done that was not forced upon me. This piece singlehandedly kickstarted the little colored warriors comics I’d continue to do (most were never posted).

In 2021, I got a wild hair and decided it was fine time to redraw that old mess to see how I’d improved. This time with my new medium of choice, alcohol markers, and equipped with far more drawing experience, I redrew the two!

I can definitely say I’d done something right it making them look like they’d been fighting. I was highly focused on the characters over the background: making them the right size, giving them funky fur colors and more natural patterns, more dynamic poses, showing full bodies, actually shading, showing the mouthes, giving actual expression! But, the background was very lacking. Foreground leaves come out of nowhere, strange shading, the tree leaves are in the wrong spot, gaping hole in the right tree instead of a knot, the bushes just hide endless liminal field space, and there’s even a cheeky little circle+rays sun haha.

Finally, TODAY! I chose to do it with watercolors on a square sheet of paper, because each time I’ve done this I’ve chosen my preferred/most comfortable finished-art medium at the time.

This time, I was going FULL background focus. Setting up the trees properly, making the grass form around things, putting leaves where they’re actually supposed to be, having at least a few more bushes in the background, adding interest to the sky, etc.

After that was done, I set the characters inside. No, i did not thumbnail or plan like I probably should have. I didn’t do it with the prior two, so it wasn’t happening for this one either. This is just for fun and planning makes me bored. I do miss the second one’s pose for ???Paw, but CricketPaw, my beloved son, is looking as sassy as ever and I’m living for it. He meant to claw his rat faced sister, and he will do it again. Additionally, I made the choice to place a third character watching over their training so it isn’t just two apprentices who wandered off. Probably their brother, so it’s actually three apprentices who wandered off, but I promise this one is responsible actually.

I’d like to say I’ve improved, yeah? :)

Weird to think I came from drawing jelly beans with noodle limbs to what I do now. And hopefully in the next two years I’ll be able to upgrade upon myself once again!

Also, I’m thinking about doing some Clan Gen stuff in my scene style! I’ve been playing around with it a bit on the browser version, and I ended up having JUST ONE couple produce, like, 11 kittens in total, and then each of those kittens producing kittens or just bringing home kittypets and loners so the clan was HILARIOUSLY LARGE.

[victory-duo]

To the game that taught me to persevere for my dream,  to open my mind to different viewpoints, and to accept different ideas to achieve something bigger together.... 

Happy 10th anniversary, Pokemon Black and White! 

---

This was originally planned to be a two-part piece, but I couldn't finish James (Hilbert) and Fluffy (Reshiram) in time haha. They will be followed up on this week as a week-long celebration!

[Unova/Gen V lovemail ahead!]

----

Gen 5 was the very first time I was able to catch the pre-release hype of a Pokemon game online.

At the time, I was 13, a freshman highschooler who caught the intrigue of the very first Unova Pokemon in silhouettes, the starters and the Tao Duo.... wow, there's gonna be new mons!

I witnessed everything that unfolded during Gen 5 from start to finish: heck, I was even one of those bandwagon haters from back then, I knew too well how they thought.  

"Wow this dex SUCKS they try too hard to copy kanto" "pokemon went downhill this year" "wth they changed so much?? this isn’t even pokemon"

I feel like these days people have been undermining how it was negatively received, so I want to share what I've seen firsthand.

Everyone was so angry at how the dex didn't have any old mons, and that the designs we're stuck with are tryhard expies of the original 151. That's beside the overused "ice cream and garbage pokemon UGLY" argument which rooted from that sentiment with the designs. Surprisingly I actually bought this thinking at first (YES, I started out as a Unova hater) and tried hard to lift up the then-latest Digimon season (Xros Wars) by saying the designs are ugly lol

Hate aside, younger me still wanted to see the game anyway and pirated a JP copy of the game release day.... but I couldn't understand anything, so I got stuck at Nacrene City and just waited for the English version haha.

Fast-forward to March the next year, it was a happy time of the year for me because school years used to end in March in my country! School was heavily winding down and I get to play a new Pokemon game fresh, wow!! I was still in denial but I really liked the new story focus. During that time, then-Unova hater me was in a denial stage, trying to water down what I liked about the game and being bitter about it breaking the mold too much.... but over the months I tried to engage with it more, and the biggest gateway for me was Spe BW.

At the time it was still in its earliest chapters (I think it was before the Nimbasa stuff?), and I thought hey, why not try to follow it while it's ongoing? (RIP) I just got really endeared with Black and especially White at the time! You can see where that led to today LOL

So now you probably guessed this is the start of my Hilda fan backstory, and yes, it is HAHAHA. I didn't pay it much mind at first but 14 y/o me was like, WOW.... wait.... her design really speaks to me, this is the aesthetic I want for myself?? She's so boyish compared to the others!

I started veering away from Spe White, taking aspects of her and projecting (HAHA) onto the actual player, and protagverse White was made! She isn't actually made for the verse, but someone I've been treating as an avatar for a while now since 2012. I was so happy with her that I even restarted White and made a new file playing as her character! 

For this anniversary piece, it was meant to be a culmination of my personal feelings with the games:

My 1st G5 game was White 'cause I loved Zekrom, protagverse White was my comfort character that helped me cope so much as a teen, and they just influenced me in so many ways.

I wouldn't know how I would be today if teen me didn't find comfort and inspiration in the Unova games. It was a big part of my art journey.

Since 2012, every 4 years, I've made a small tradition to redraw my 1st White art.  This art is redraw #2.

In 2012, I was in my 3rd year of high school. In 2016, I was in my 3rd year of college (and 1st year of art school). Today, in 2020, I've graduated and now working as a freelance artist.

White, and Unova as a whole, grew up with me, and I'm so thankful they exist.

If you've read this far, thank you for reading, and I hope that I've imparted how much I love Unova, and how much it's helped me over the years. It's had a rough start, but I will never regret sticking for it until it got out of the spotlight now as the appreciated sets of games it is.

Thank you so much, Unova!

Love, A fan since 2010 <3

IT’S A LONG POST BUT HERE’S THE STUFF I FOUND, UNDER THE CUT!

so this is from like.... 2012-ish? It was either freshman or sophmore year of high school. My friend and I thought it’d be funny if we made edgy pony ocs cuz we hadn’t really watched the show and we wanted to tease my boyfriend at the time cuz he was into it. Literally not too long after making these, my friend and i watched the show and got hooked...

....Yall probably won’t believe this, but this is Zonta. I don’t know what’s up with her proportions.. But Jesus.

This is an interesting situation. So my friend and I had an idea for a next gen situation with our ocs. The boy is named Remy, and he was Zonta’s son (this was back when eric was still around instead of markus. If you don’t know who Eric is, i’ve talked about that fucker on here before lmao just look up his name you should find it)

The girl was his gf, Layla. I’ve since recycled the name for a huepoint character cuz i liked it so much. This was my first attempt at drawings Goths

Little did I know Zonta would be the goth in the future...

IF SOMEONE CAN TELL ME WHO MADE THESE PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN CREDIT THEM I HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO FIND THEM YET. But my other boyfriend printed this off for me cuz i had a bad iz phase in high school. I think he did this before we started dating, actually. There were more pictures, but I don’t have them anymore. There was a whole binder at one point.

more mlp fanart. I had a particular attachment to Sweetie Bell for some reason? Clearly this was before she got her cutie mark in canon, so I had to make up one for her. I don’t remember the context but i think i’d aged her up to give her a phantom of the opera story where she fell for a changeling who liked her singing? I was creative for sure.

this was from when i first got into fnaf, and you can tell. I got into fnaf right as I started college so this was one of many doodles i did during that time that survived. God i can draw them so much better now...

For the love of everything sane, don’t ask why i drew mlp characters in a Burton-esque style. I couldn’t answer that if I wanted to... Kinda wanna redraw it tho, especially Fluttershy cuz she was my favorite.

i didn’t draw this but i thought i’d share it anyway cuz it’s a fond, kinda funny, memory. So my boyfriend at the time actually drew this, because i’d asked him to draw Christine and the Phantom in his style... He’s a furry, so I don’t know what I expected, but honestly it wasn’t that bad for like 2011-2012

I got into Be More Chill not too long after it started getting popular... I’ve loved the SQUIP a long time, guys, probably since like 2016-2017ish.

Right before I made this blog, I was considering who to ship with Beetlejuice, so I started coming up with ideas, this was the first idea. I don’t remember her name right off the bat but i’d drawn her a few times before ultimately deciding to go with Dottie instead.

I just like this picture a lot cuz it’s sweet, even if the anatomy is weird and i dunno what’s going on with zonta’s legs.

This was another self insert character I ended up scrapping, but I don’t remember what she was for. She might’ve been another prototype character to ship with beetlejuice before i settled on dottie. She cute tho I might bring her back for whoever I fall for next.

THIS IS THE ONLY EXISTING FANART OF INVADER ZIM THAT I HAVE FROM BEFORE THIS BLOG. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE REST OF IT IS BECAUSE A LOT OF IT WAS DRAWN ON PAPER.

bad lighting but eh. The only care I’ve successfully drawn tbh. I drew it for my stepdad lol

Zonta again. God she looked so wonky. Yes, that is Snickers, he’s been a part of her life long before she was a witch and he was her familiar. He could talk even then, if i remember correctly.

I can’t quite remember when this was, but I think it was during the time I lived with my grandpa, so a few years ago.

THIS WAS 2015 FOR SURE CUZ THIS WAS DRAWN AT MY DAD’S HOUSE. Think of this as a prototype Husk situation, Zonta wasn’t a witch yet, but her telekinesis powers fucked her up really bad if she used it for too long, and she’d hallucinate stuff like this. This was in the short, short period of time where I gave her neat swirly tattoos on her arms.

This was done for sure in 2014 cuz it was for English class. We were reading the Scarlet Letter and my teacher had us draw a bunch of characters in our own stylistic way. So I drew Hester’s nasty ass husband, who was often called the Leech, as a leech monster. My teache was very impressed with me.

And, finally, some comics from when my mom was a kid. Some of these were hers, but a lot of them were actually my aunt’s. I think they’re neat.

[polar-stars]

Back in 2016, when I was in my last months of middle school, I decided to give an anime named “Shokugeki no Soma” a shot and I had not slightest idea just how much of an impact that decision would end up having on my life. 

Guys, I won’t lie...The anime ending just hit a lot different. While I switched to manga after having watched through Season 1...The anime was still what began this journey for me after all. 

Shokugeki no Soma is far from perfect but I still so very deeply love it in the end. People who have known me for a while also know that I’ve been ranting on and on about several things and that I’m not the biggest fan of the last arc, but ultimately...Despite all my complains and all of my sulking, I still hold this series very close to my heart. 

Shokugeki’s been with me for 4 years. That’s insane. 

I normally loose interest in things...rather quickly actually. Before Shokugeki, I fandom-hopped a lot and only lasted a few months or so maybe in different fandoms. I cannot exactly pinpoint what it is about this series that just got me so hooked and attached, but well. It happened. And now here we are. 

As I said, I began to watch Shokugeki just a couple for so months before my graduation from middle school. I was actually rather underwhelmed with it’s first episode and I didn’t really wanted to continue watching, until Soma served his Pork Roast! Just Kidding!, which looked so incredibly delicious to me that ultimately I decided to give Episode 2 a chance. The rest is history. 

The series sticked to my side throughout all of highschool. In one of these year something would happen that was incredibly hard for me to deal with and Shokugeki was what distracted me. The manga came to an end closely after I graduated from highschool and that time as quite frankly been one of the best of my life and just being a part of this community had a big play in that. 

This is also something I’d like to address: The community. Never ever have I felt to have a part in a fandom community, like I did in the Shokugeki Fandom. I gathered a following unlike any other before, I organized Fandom events and participated in some. I met some through and through amazing people within this fanbase, that I wouldn’t want missing from my life today. It’s the first time I feel seen in a fandom. I’ve also come across a variety of fantastic fan work and it’s all just so ah...Beautiful. 

Finally, there’s also my Next Gen Fanfiction, that’s been in writing for 4 years now and is ultimately still in the beginning. The characters I’ve crafted for this story have become very dear to me and I’ve been developing them for such a long time now. Never before have I been this dedicated to a story and it’s a good feeling. I truly feel like finishing this monstrous project I build in my head and telling the stories of the characters I came up with. If there has been one dream I’ve had for all my life, it’s to write a book someday. And seeing people enjoy this little fanfiction of mine makes me believe that my dream might become true someday! 

All in all, although Shokugeki made me unhappy from time to time....The positives I associate with this series do overweight. Massively. And I would not trade the enchantment and the memories I’ve gotten out of this series for anything.

With a redrawing of my first fan art I ever did for the series, I just want to say:

Thank you.

Thank you Shokugeki no Soma, for...just so much. There is no denying that you’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

a moment of truce

Summary: "Kite Man?“ A deep voice broke through his fuzzy thoughts. "Are you awake?”

AO3

Even before he opened his eyes he knew he had no idea where he was, which historically meant nothing good. He could feel that he was moving, probably in a car or in the back of a van or something, but he didn’t remember getting in a car and he definitely wasn’t in the driver’s seat.

Yay, abduction. He hadn’t been abducted in forever. It was almost an interesting change of pace if he didn’t know from experience that he was going to probably going to bullied into doing something that he didn’t want to do. He wasn’t that type of guy most of the time.

He didn’t want to be a bad bad guy after all.

Whoever was driving hit a bump. It wasn’t big, just enough to jostle him and his head gave him the sharp notice that it must have been hit pretty hard recently and it wasn’t super happy about that and he groaned at the pain.

“Kite Man?” A deep voice broke through his fuzzy thoughts. “Are you awake?”

“Kite Man?” Whoever was talking to him sounded familiar but it he couldn’t place it. It wasn’t one of the usual suspects who had a habit of trying to kidnap him for whatever reason. Definitely wasn’t the Joker in a tenor that deep, so things could be worse. “Hell yeah.”

“Hrh.” Now that was a sound that Chuck knew like the back of his own hand. Or the back of the man who said it’s backhand. He opened one eye to see the silhouette of sharp pointy ears from the seat in front of him, dashboard lit up in multicoloured lights and the streets of Gotham passing by the windows before he let it fall closed again. “You’re going to have a headache. Grade one concussion,” said Batman. "You should probably get medical attention.”

Headache was a bit of an understatement, stampeding elephants much closer to reality. “They’ll check me out in lock up,” he mumbled, debating trying to go back to sleep before he had to spend the night in gen pop.

“Lock up?”

“Aren’t you taking me in?”

“Did you do something for me to have to take you in?”

“I don’t… not tonight?” The thought about it for a moment, but things were a little fuzzy and his thoughts weren’t exactly what he could call clear. He had plans for the night but something had clearly interrupted them because he could still feel his detonators in his pockets instead of on the safe door that he had been planning on blowing up. “Don’t think I got the chance.”

“Then I have no reason to take you in.”

“Oh.” That wasn’t what he had been expecting because there were plenty of nights that Batman had caught up to him when he was minding his own business, just soaring across the city, and taken him down and dropped him off at the nearest GCPD precinct. It was rude, honestly, even if he did have incriminating contreband on him. “If I didn’t do anything, why am I in your car?” That is when something further clicked and he opened both eyes this time and looked around. “And why am I in the backseat and not in cuffs in the trunk?”

He was well acquainted with the restaint seat that popped out of the trunk of Batman’s car. They were old friends.

“I may have to escalate your condition to a grade two concussion.” Batman’s eyes flashed at him in the rearview mirror, gloves tightening on the steering wheel. “Robin’s grapple line snapped. I was too far away,” his words were clipped and rough. "You dove in and caught him. You hit the side of a building.”

“Oh.” It was slowly coming back to him. The kid had been swinging high above and Chuck had heard a loud snap, a terrified scream, a deep shout and saw the small body fall and he acted before he could think about it. He caught the kid, but he his speed and weight had caused them to go off course and then… he couldn’t remember anything else. He rubbed his head, hissing as his fingers brushing against a tender lump on the side. “Is the kid okay?”

“Fractured wrist”

“I’m fine,” said a young voice. The kid was curled up in a small ball in the front seat and Chuck hadn’t even seen him until he spoke. He was wearing a velcro splint on one of his arms. "Thanks. You probably saved my life.” The kid was putting on a good show, but his words were shaky, clearly shook up. Batman reached over and ruffled the boy’s hair and he leaned into the touch.

A part of Chuck’s stomach tightened at the sight and he had to turn away. “No problem.” Sometimes things just hit him. A reminder that was a punch in the gut and reopened the old wounds that were never really healed, just ignored the best they could be, which was not at all.

A few minutes passed in silence, Chuck staring out of the window at nothing, when Robin piped up again, turning around in his seat to look at him, smile big on his tiny face, clearly not bothered by his injury. He looked young, but maybe not as young as Chuck had originally thought now that they were so close. “Can we drop you off at home?”

This night just kept getting weirder, which meant a lot because his tolerance for weird in this city was pretty high. Part of him wondered if he was imagining the whole thing. Maybe he was passed out in a dumpster somewhere, having crashed to the ground, and his concussed brain was giving him a crazy coma dream because the alternative that he was sitting in Batman’s car with Robin talking to him as if this was part of some regular carpool situation, was bonkers. “Hell yeah.” Batman cleared his throat, head tilting in Robin’s direction, which made him chuckle. The kid could leap off buildings but apparently a third rate curse word was a step too far. “Sorry, habit. Yes, please.”

He was about to tell Batman to take the next right when he noticed that he was already turning in that direction, maneuvering the streets to Chuck’s apartment without him saying a word. He wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing that Batman knew where he lived, but in all honesty he couldn’t really be surprised.

The car parked outside of Chuck’s dilapidated building, and Batman got out of the car, to pull the seat forward to let him out onto the street. Chuck grunted his thanks and started walking towards the door, but was surprised when Batman escorted him from the car. He unlocked his front door, but didn’t know what to do, because Batman was just standing there, staring at him, and it was eerie. He had the urge to cackle and a leap and unfurl his kite, but that was just silly at this point, and not only because it was on ground level and there was no wind; it would literally do nothing.

Something about Batman just brought that impulse out in him.

He was about to just keep heading inside, leaving the Bat alone in the dark when finally “Charles.” His voice was a little less dark and a little less echoed and Chuck wondered if this was what he sounded without the voice modulator turned on. “Thank you for catching him.” Batman tilted his head back towards the car where they could see Robin, his face lit up, probably playing with his phone. Kids. “Most wouldn’t have.”

Chuck knew what ‘most’ meant. He was talking about the villains of Gotham. The bad guys. The people like him. He held onto the door handle and stared down at his shoes. He didn’t always want to be a person like him. A person lumped in that group with them. Sometimes he just didn’t have any other options.

“He’s just a kid,” he said finally. "Kids don’t deserve to die. Especially not like that.” He sighed and looked back at Batman, into those unblinking glowing eyes of his mask. “Charlie loved Robin. He would have wanted me to save him.” It was true. Charlie had grown up in a city where Batman and Robin were a staple and while Batman’s costume had given him nightmares, Robin had been his favourite hero. Chuck had to bribe him with cookies just to let him put his Robin pyjamas in the washing machine every once in a while.

He vaguely wondered if Batman had the same problem.

“He would have wanted you to turn over a new leaf.”

“We’ll never know that, will we?” snapped Chuck without thinking and surprisingly Batman shook his head and raised his hands in defense. “I’m sorry. That was…” he trailed off and looked back towards the car. “Losing a child isn’t something you can get over. I understand.”

“You can’t understand unless you’ve had it happen.” He had hated that. The people in his life who said that they understood. They didn’t. They couldn’t possibly.

“I understand,” said Batman quietly and the words just hung there heavy in the air. It was a strangely intimate conversation for two men who had spent a lot of time punching each other in the face only now to bond over something so deeply personal.

“I… oh.” He didn’t know what to say with this mutual understanding they now had hanging between them. “Do you want to come in for a beer?” It was a strange thing to offer, but why the hell not? Maybe that is all Batman needed to lighten up; someone to offer him a hand and a little time to kick back and relax.

“I have to get Robin tended to.” Batman said, but there was a smile twitching on the edge of his lips. Of course he couldn’t leave a kid in the car when he goes for a drink with one of his regular baddies, that is just bad parenting, but Chuck had to wonder if maybe the circumstances were different perhaps the answer would have been different as well, even for just one night in a moment of truce. “You shouldn’t drink with a concussion.”

“Yeah, well, there’s a lot of things I shouldn’t do.” They both knew that he was going to have that beer anyway. And then redraw up his plans for breaking into that safe on another night. “Have a good night, Batman. I’m glad your boy is okay.” He pulled the door open and stepped inside. “Tell him he’s worth the headache.”

“He’ll be glad to hear it from someone who isn’t me.”

“Hell yeah.”

And so, another year has come to pass.....almost. ^  ^

Remember when i said i was branching away from Digimon back when i drew up Venom fanart? y’know, “I wanted to be more than what i used to be.” that being “a Digimon artist.”

2019 was basically just that. lots and lots and LOTS of fandom hopping.

If last year was me recovering from the pain and crippling anxiety of 2017, then this year was me finally getting up again, learning to stand up and live for myself rather than in fear of those i shouldn’t care about anymore. life still hasn’t been too kind to me even though, compared to last year, we’re in a better space. but i’ll get into more detail about that while i go through everything month by month on the clock.

Before we begin, if you’d like to see the previous years, here’s the links!

2018:https://twilightvolt.tumblr.com/post/181732950569/i-kinda-was-saving-this-for-when-i-had-the-time-to

2017:https://twilightvolt.tumblr.com/post/171806337539/a-3-month-late-art-summary-featuring-art-that-i

Might wanna grab your popcorn, my dudes. this is a long one.

January: On the Web

Coming out of 2018, things were pretty ok if i remember. i don’t remember much from this month aside from a few doodles i did like this one from when Spiderverse was the hottest thing. this was one of the last things i drew in my old style. before i decided to officially change things up in the next month.

February: Gotta Kick it Up

Pokemon Sword & Shield were announced and things were hype! oh, how things soured as the months went by. lol

But yeah, this was me taking that experimental sketchy pencil style from that Smash Bros. drawing and rolling with it all the way! it’s become my new go-to style and even though it’s still hella sketchy at times, i feel like it looks better in comparison to my old ink outlined drawings.

March: The Overdrive Dweebanoids

Oh right. my old Ben 10 phase that lasted for a millisecond in 2016 returned with a vengeance. and it was glorious. lmao

It spawned an AU that i didn’t delve into much, but if i ever get that spark for my favorite alien watch bearer, i’ll get back to it.

April: True Blue Lizard Bois

My Ben 10 streak continues and i was crankin’ out art left and right for it. i luved all the “doodle dumps” i made, but this drawing was wholesome and i picked it because of that.

To some extent, this could be a comparison between my past and my present. that being Overdrive!Ben being what, at the time, was my current obsession while Digimon!Vivi was a representation of where i used to be, back when i was starting out and entering Digimon OCTs on Deviantart.

May: Return to the Realm of Sleep ~HD ReMIX

Now THIS i feel was one of the grandest drawings i’ve done this year. hell, i even made a wallpaper out of it.

like, it was just a redraw of an old drawing from 2017. but to me, it was a way to tell me just how far i’ve come since then. and i couldn’t be happier.

This was also the month i rebooted my DA after a long time of inactivity!

....Iiiit didn’t really work much, but i’m still working on it. though i highly doubt it’s worth it considering most of the ones i used to hang with there are either people i don’t wanna associate with or people who left while i was gone. seriously, it’s a ghost town there.

June: Art Fight 2019 ~Dreams Vs. Nightmares~

Ahh, my second year of Art Fight. for this year’s event, i wanted to be a tad more grandiose. like drawing up this banner. i like being extra and stuff even if it kills my drawing hand, so yeah. lmao

...

Florida thunderstorms are friggin’ terrifying. idk HOW anyone can get used to that.

July: - BREAK DOWN -

Oookay, it was hard picking my favorite attack this year cuz i pretty much was satisfied with all of them. but i had to go with this attack because the artist i drew it for was someone i really admired for years and i’m just happy i could finally have an opportunity to draw them something. like, i luv how it came out, so yeah.

This was also the month i forced myself to finally do the thing and let go of the constant fear i felt towards certain people i used to hang with. while remembering 2017 will never NOT hurt, i can’t let that fear rule over me forever. i have to take control and not let it stop me from doing what i want. and that’s exactly what i did.

August: Ricky ~Sapphire, Emerald and AlphaSapphire

Oh yeah! after Art Fight ended, i returned to Pokemon randomly cuz i wanted to go back to my roots for a moment. revamping Ricky, formerly Ragna, and Yagami was something i’ve been meaning to do for awhile and it reignited a waning love for a series i started growing distant towards since Gen VII.

I used to really like Ricky’s old design even though i barely ever used him. but i guess this just shows how much more original i’ve gotten in terms of character design. ^  ^

September: Heartbeat Inferno

Now, i haven’t really talked much about what’s been going on life wise for most of this post, but trust me when i say irl, things weren’t really.....happening. like, it’s hard when you live (or rather, lived now) in a place with little job opportunity and you have NO experience whatsoever. the lack of progression must’ve hit something in me, so the week i drew this was me just....shifting moods, feeling everything at once. one day i’d be agitated as hell, the next i’d be so depressed i took a some odd hour nap and didn’t wanna get out of bed. like, for most of this year, i haven’t felt this stressed out and frustrated with myself. so this sudden crash was kind of....unwelcome.

But this drawing was a fresh change though, if i’m being honest. i’m not usually this uncaring about how clean the coloring job is, but i like it! i’d choose that other drawing i did for my friends’ birthdays, Skirmish at the Cable Club, but this one had a more personal drive behind it.

October: - PAPERMOON -

beastarsbeastarsbeASTARSBEASTARS--*COUGH COUGH AHEM* I MEAN....hai. :D

Continuing with my Pokemon shenanigans, i drew this big piece which was something i had in my head for years now, but never actually acted upon it cuz i always felt it was too big of an idea to work on. i’m happy i’ve managed to capture what i envisioned originally.

As for interests, i’m sure most of my current followers can deduce that i quickly shifted gears to Beastars as soon as the anime was released and so far, i regret nothing. it’s spawned a metric butt ton of new art from me and the way i see it, this phase ain’t stopping as long as this series continues. brace yourselves fam, i believe i’ve finally found the successor to my Digimon phase. lmao

Like, damn, i had a tough time choosing art for this month. i was stuck between this, - SMILE/WILD SIDE - and Slip Into Madness. so many good drawings i was satisfied with, y’know?

November: The Future is Now

I was SO planning on putting something else here, but then suddenly i just kinda had this urge to redraw that uggo gouache painting of Miyagi from highschool. and it turned out so good that i had to. like, really. lmao

As with the redraw of Dream Drop Digital’s key art, it was a reminder of how far i’ve come since then art wise. and i feel like i’ve accomplished so much this year because of it. ;w;

December: Winter Lights

And now we’re back to the present time. after over a year or so of living in Florida, we’ve moved once again back up north a bit. yet another clean slate, but things seem to be looking up despite the rather large bumps in the road the past week or so. lately i’ve been feeling that seasonal depression starting to set in, but i think i’ll be fine as long as i stay positive. cuz y’know, it’s not being happy all the time. it’s just knowing that things will get better someday.

One of the other reasons i drew this drawing was cuz i REALLY wanted to have something Beastars related on this clock. this series (and Legoshi in particular) really inspired me, so i had to leave a wedge open for my boi.

Looking back at the beginning of this decade (as 2020 would mark the next one), i realized that the 2010′s were basically me becoming more artsy. finding enjoyment for a new hobby that quickly became something i’m now more passionate about than video games which i didn’t think would EVER be the case.

Funny enough, it all started in the RP section of a little forum for an MMO called Wizard101. i was only in middle school at the time and, to tell you the truth, i had no idea i’d be going at it for this long. thought i’d just do it on the side but not really delve into the art world more.

But despite all the trips and falls, fandom drama or otherwise, i wouldn’t change anything if it meant i wouldn’t have the friends who’ve stuck by me in the aftermath of those times.

I may not be really succeeding in much, but it’s the small steps in life that matter most in the end. these past few months in particular was me getting fed up with feeling sorry for myself for not doing the things i was interested in in the past, getting over my regret and making plans for starting something new even though i know i’ll suck at first and not worrying so much about how others might perceive me.

And just like how life was changing for our resident grey wolf this first season, mine seems to be doing the same. and i believe this decade ended on a better note than i thought it would during the past couple years leading up to this.

Here’s to a new decade! ^  ^

~ For a future I want to believe in. ~

I'm tired of Nintendo

I had enough for the last pokemon games and I'm so fucking angry that I bought a switch for this game that I might just not buy it. You know what ? Fuck you Nintendo. Having to pay for everything on a pokemon game is shitty and you're just looking for money. And you just won't admit it.

Before, we could transfer pokemons to a game of the next generation just by finishing the game. Easy. They kept that up until the 5th gen and after that, because ( I quote ) "tHerE Is NO PosSibLE WaY tO TranSFeR PokEmOns frOm Ds To tHe 3dS"

Okay, fine, whatever. So you have to pay to get your parteners through the new games x and y. But sorry, that excuse ISN'T VALID ANYMORE for the 7th gen. If the problem was to pass to the 3DS it's not the case anymore, so already fucked up on that point. But still, with wondertrade and GTS we had a way to get our favourite pokemons.

Now, we have so much bullshit that I can't even be more furious.

The console was super SUPER expensive compared to the other portable consoles from Nintendo ? Ok. I managed to work a hell lot to get enough money to finally buy it. No, not all the parents can afford something like that and especially not the children themselves BUT pokemon is a game mainly made for young people. That's already super dumb but I got through it. It was x1,5 the price of a 3DS when it came out, I mean COME ON.

The games are 20$, which is ALSO x1,5 the last generation's price. And it's a LOT. Pokemon let's go wasn't even that good already, seriously. It was made for pokemon go players, hadn't the same feeling for catching pokemons AT ALL ( you have to catch a lot rather than just catching your own team and that's all, and it's the same for shinies. I don't want to catch 30 vulpix ?! ) and it was more of a pokemon game to scam people who liked go. I refused that my dad bought it just because of that. Also, fuck all this gen 1 propaganda. GenOners are sometimes really annoying but Nintendo keeps encouraging them like hello ?? Other gen exists too ?? We have like a whole crowd of people waiting for a DP remake and that's the 2nd remake of this gen ! Not counting pokemon go that only featured the 1st gen when it was popular.

Pokemons from the 1st generation have a pretty easy to reproduce design and that's why they made pokemon let's go. Between Rayquaza and Mewtwo, guess who's the easiest to make ?

That's why I also HATE the idea of the galar dex. Cuz you know what ? Pokemon will be deleted. And I bet my fucking phone that there will be more gen one than any other gen because it's the favourite. And also, say goodbye to gen 5. The fandom clearly didn't like that gen and pokemons from it will suffer from the galar dex. It was great but since, you know, you couldn't use pokemons from other gens ( like in let's go btw ) people hated it and said everything from it was trash ?? Like oh no, a goofy ice cream with a funny face ! Pokemons weren't trash in my time when I had a purple jelly pokemon that evolved into a bigger purple jelly pokemon. They were creative. So yeah, some gens will suffer more than others

After that we have the lack of animations. I mean COME ON.

"Animation is hard". I make animations, mostly on 2D yes but I studied 3D models. Once you created it you can make animations pretty fast because you just have to move the body, not to redraw anything. That's why there are so many 3D models animations on YouTube made by beginners, once you mastered it you can do pretty much anything.

"It's good for strategy" Well ... Yes and No actually. I studied a bit strategy and the fact that they deleted some pokemons is a good thing for it but not for us, normal players. The fact that they removed animations from pokemon attacking is just ripping us off the battle, they had better animations in gen 4, come on. And the fact that the attacks must be fast for strategy is because official battles now last 20 minutes instead of one hour which is ... Stupid ?? They used this as an argument for a wall they created ???

"creating models is hard". Yes it is. BUT THEY'RE USING GEN 6-7 MODELS. Well, at least they had to redo them but it's just copying and pasting like wtf ??? The animations are the same. Models are just redone. It's basically like tracing someone's art. Yeah it takes time. But you still have a base, it takes a lot less time than the original one and when you're done I don't think you should show it as "extremely hard work". But you know what actually ? THEY DID OTHER MODELS FOR DYNAMAXED POKEMONS. Yes, they used that "precious time you know it's hard and blahblahblah" to have to do TWICE the exact same ponemons. I'm not talking about gigantamax huh, normal dynamax pokemon. So they're whining about the time but did everything twice. Wonderful.

"animating takes time" again you're talking to an artist and an animator. So before you try to give your "knowledge" because you read an article on BuzzFeed, go and try to do it yourself and then we can talk. I'm not saying that I know everything and that I'm a genius or anything but sometimes trying is easier to understand. Are we good ? Alright. I'm used to get hate comments all the time when I talk shit about this and most of the persons telling me wrong hadn't even tried to draw Pikachu before. Now, I just want to ask you, have you ever thought about the time needed for a pokemon game ? Yeah it takes a lot of time, about a few years. But think of it this way : we got the first trailer of the game 3-4 months ago ? Not sure anymore. But the game will be released the same year the first trailer went out and I'm pretty sure it was the same last year with Eevee and Pikachu. I'll take another exemple from the switch : Zelda botw. That game is a masterpiece. First trailer, 2011. Release date, 2017. Do you know what I mean by that ? TAKE YOUR FUCKING TIME. Stop rushing like idiots we won't die if we don't have a pokemon game per year !!

One last thing : the online subscription. You know that you pay WiFi every month ? Now you gotta pay it again for it to work. I get it, maybe people won't use it and all but COME ON. You deleted the 4th and 5th gen GTS. You deleted the dream world. And you're afraid that your online thingy will be not used enough to make money so you make us pay even more ?? Duck you.

Pokémon is the 2nd most money-making licence that ever existed. They stopped making series because they wasn't worth it in terms of money, like pokemon rangers. You're just some lazy People that wants money more and more. And I don't think I can accept that.

Ai rewriting the rules of aviation.

Next-gen software is redrawing the routes planes fly between airports, avoiding traffic jams in the sky and saving Alaska Airlines millions of dollars.

“We’re getting an outsized benefit right now because we’re the only airline that’s using the software,” said Pasha Saleh, flight operations strategy and innovation director for Alaska Airlines. “That means we get to design these bespoke routes for ourselves while everyone else is essentially relegated to the traditional paths that human dispatchers come up with unaided.”

In the past, when a Los Angeles-bound Alaska Airlines plane flew out of Anchorage, the carrier padded the flight schedule to include extra time in case of surprise delays. Yet in recent months Alaska has trialed a new route-mapping software from the startup Airspace Intelligence. The software suggests paths in the sky that are tailored to real-time weather and traffic and may be more desirable. Passengers may soon see arrival times are more accurate.

Experts predict that flight dispatching at airlines worldwide will improve with the help of powerful number-crunching software that uses artificial intelligence, or AI.

Today, the typical airline flight dispatcher essentially plans the route that an aircraft will take between airports by doing a bit of math, picturing in their head what storm data on radar might mean for a flight’s trajectory — while using route maps that planes have flown before as inspiration.

“Before this job, I was a professional pilot for a while,” Saleh said. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been taking off early ahead of schedule, telling my passengers the whole way, ‘We’re going to get you there 20 minutes early,’ and then we ended up arriving 40 minutes late. The use of AI software by all airlines could reduce how often that happens.”

Alaska Airlines may have found a better way. It recently has been piloting software called Flyways AI. The software predicts extreme weather and air traffic with greater accuracy. The intel helps dispatchers create flight plans less prone to revision. That precision, in turn, enables the airline to trim its fuel use and make its operations more predictable and cost-effective.

“Eventually, most airlines will deploy AI for flight dispatch,” Saleh said. “So our total savings in time between point A and point B on our average flight may not be as much once others copy the technique. But we’ll still enjoy lasting gains in average fuel savings, a reduced CO2 [carbon dioxide] emission footprint, and the operational knock-on effects of greater predictability about flight arrival times.”

After a six-month pilot with the software that began around December, Alaska reduced its fuel use by 480,000 gallons and trimmed nearly 4,600 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

AIRLINES EMBRACING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The carrier’s move is part of a larger trend. Until recently, travel companies haven’t used much artificial intelligence, besides setting prices, buying ads online, and offering automated customer service.

But step by step, travel companies are experimenting with ways to use computational artificial intelligence, similar to the software companies such as Amazon use to crunch numbers quickly to make predictions that can make operations, such as delivery logistics, more efficient.

“Every flight has its route first planned by a dispatcher, but each dispatchers sort of works in isolation and doesn’t know everything that everyone else is doing,” Saleh of Alaska Airlines said. “So very often unintentionally, one dispatcher’s flight plan creates conflicts with others’, and plans from different airlines can conflict, too.”

“That’s how you can end up with ten flights arriving at SeaTac [Seattle-Tacoma’s main airport] within five minutes,” Saleh said. “Better predictions can help airlines avoid that, essentially showing the impact of one dispatcher’s decision on every other flight.”

Airlines use flight-planning software from vendors or in-house. Widely used systems include Boeing’s Jeppesen, Sabre’s Flight Plan Manager, airline owned tech provider SITA [Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques] (though it is pulling out of flight planning), Leidos‘s 1800wxbrief (which offers related services for flight dispatchers), Lufthansa Systems’ Lido Flight 4D, and Airbus’ Navblue N-Flight Planning.

Alaska uses Jeppesen.

“If our dispatcher likes the route recommended by the Flyways software, they essentially copy and paste the data into the Jeppesen system, which is already FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] approved,” Saleh said. “So we avoid needing regulatory approval or spending a lot of money swapping out systems because the Flyways isn’t mission-critical and is just a decision-support tool. The dispatcher can do their job even if the recommendations stop coming for some reason.”

Flight dispatchers have multiple tabs open on their computers in Alaska’s network operations center. One of those tabs is now the startup’s browser-based recommendations. They suggest where a plane should climb or drop in altitude and what paths it could optimally take — using dynamic mapping across a time scale.

Landing planes more predictably with fewer surprises can help in other ways besides saving fuel and pleasing passengers. Greater predictability can enable airlines to be more accurate about planning their labor needs for flight crews, for instance.

After takeoff, an airport’s air traffic control tower passes the job of managing the flight to controllers at regional centers, which typically hand flights to other centers until an aircraft reaches its destination. All of these centers for all airlines could theoretically benefit from more accurate predictions about when storms or traffic might block certain “lanes” in interstate “skyways.”

Saleh recalls an “ah-ha” moment he had when he knew the use of artificial intelligence would have promise.

“Before the pandemic, Ben Minicucci — now our new CEO but then still the president of the company — came by to have a look after the team had trialed it and offered feedback to the developers for about a year,” Saleh said. “Ben said it was game-changing that we were the first airline to get this. So for even someone at his level, who has to think about such a broad operation, it wasn’t lost on him that this software represented a real opportunity.”

2/6/17

Man, when I said that drawings didn’t need to have been made that day, I wasn’t kidding.

This is a Fakemon I made when I was eight. Its name is Charade, rhymes with parade. No, I’m not sure if I knew that charade was an actual word when I named it, but maybe I heard someone say it and was like “I’M NAMING THE CAT THING THAT” or if I just threw a couple syllables together and used what stuck. It’s a Fire type, which is totally apparent!

I’ve cropped the page so you can’t see my description of it, but I’d like to point out that the smudged text next to the face (over top of white-out, btw) is pointing to the lips and says “boys have pink”. That’s right, not only did I apparently come up with the concept of gender differences in Pokemon far before Gen 4, but I made the boys the ones with pink lips. I think it ended up looking really bad when I did it, and so I decided that the boys were the ones who got to look dumb.

The idea of it was that it had tails for feet and a foot for a tail. WACKY. When I had to draw a foot, I drew some sort of elephant foot. Or is it a soolnd? Those are horses tails, too, I guess.

OKAY I KNOW YOU WANT THE DESCRIPTION so here: “This Pokemon is quite rare, but if you catch one, it’s good luck! And remember that they lay eggs! It can run as fast as lightning. And its strongest Attack would be Negative (which is anything.)” Why I specified that it laid eggs is a mystery, since Gen 2 was out by this point. I don’t think I got the memo about breeding. Negative by the way was supposed to be like Metronome but you could pick which attack it used, in which case why bother learning anything else I guess. Maybe if it only had 1 PP it would work.

I actually played as this thing on the playground when we played Pokemon. Its signature move is Spinning Bullet, which was represented by me spinning my arms around in the “if you get hit, it’s your own fault!” windmill motion really fast and bashing the opponent in the face. It was supposed to turn Charade into basically what Fire Rocket did for Flamedramon, like it would launch into the air from the speed of its attack.

Above the drawing is a red circle in which Charade is depicted performing a bunch of attacks (NOT UPLOADING THANKS) including one called Flame Shield, which forms the red circle. Sooooo... Charade is Flamedramon? I wonder if I knew that I was stealing that from Digimon or not.

The page was laid out to resemble the Pokemon Handbook I had at the time, because this was a book I was making about my Fakemon with my fake region. All I knew about the region itself was that Charade was the only starter (because it then evolved into a Water type, a Bug type and a Grass type, filling all three starter choices for no good reason) and the professor was named Eureka. That wasn’t even a clever pun or anything, I was trying to name her Erika like the chick from Medabots. So basically I stole everything I ever thought of, goodnight.

The last thing of note is that I had a symbol to denote that the Pokemon was a Legendary, which is only ever used on this page. The starter is a Legendary. I just wanted to to feel special.

OKAY SO this was a bit of a cop-out, uploading this. So here’s a version of Charade I drew a few days ago instead!

I tried to capture the spirit of the thing, hence the catlike nose instead of the snout (?????? why Nicole) of the original. It also was supposed to have open eyes and not Brock eyes, I remember.

I have previously tried to redraw some of these old abominations (oh don’t worry, I have ENTIRE BOOKS worth of these things, this blog should have some steam for a while now!) but every time I do, I start with this one because it was my mascot, my Pikachu. Essentially, I have a few different versions of Charade, in my “Old drawings DON’T LOOK I’M HIDEOUS” folders. Maybe they’ll see the light of day on this blog.

I hope this thing gave you a laugh at least :) come, let’s tear down this eight year old girl and her ambitions of being a Pokemon designer! (yeah, seriously, that was my dream job)

(and still is)

(let’s be honest)

Can i just rant on few things to myself? 😫 *sighh

First of all, i was quite disappointed la with oral patho ni. Like eghh what do they want . What are they expecting. But what actually hurts me is that why are there still some students yang buat mcm lebih kurang or sometimes even sama but they can get good grades. Mcm what is not enough from me 😭😭😭😭 ..td i dua kali jumpa jose but he wasnt around then finally dpt gak td. I duduk one to one la dgn dia. And yeah he helped to guide me la kan...tp otak i mcm dah tepu gila i mcm dlm hati asyik cakap "cepatlah cepat tanda. Grade je la. I xnak hadap dah benda sama"...which yea dia tanda except for one lesion i ada minor correction. Tp jose baik lah sbb dia bgtau i apa salah scc i yang renjith pergi sarcastically valentines-ing me just now 🙄...fibrosarcoma i xpayah redraw to i got C. But whatever. I'm so not inti grades dah for the time being. I just penat if nak buat balik. Then, he still tegur about my correlation which i dah mcm clueless dah mcm mana lg nak buat and he explained again to me just now which i harap next exercise i boleh buat. The things was just now kan, dia baca satu2 hmmm kat kelas td mostly dia tgk drawing ja. Tapi, tadi first time i got A in my opath logbook 😭 tau tak mana yg dapat A? The one yg dia tegur about my correlation ..😓 pelik kan? To i mcm phewhh nasib xyah tulis balik....huwaghh so dr jekyll and mr hyde la dorang ni 😖 but jose was nice la compared to renjith sbb i dpt input la about my SCC yg 3 kali redraw i buat termasuk latest correction....theeen, esok ada lagi 6 lesions according to batch A...im not ready for opath dah 😭😭😭 i mcm down gila skrg omg clinical year is so effing annoying...okay then, comdent posting nanti presentation ikut roll number so obviously i last and last kan nak dkt dgn exam block. I taknak stressssss eghhh and mai ckap better buat awal hmmm maybe i terlampau risau dgn apa mai ckap but hmm maybe okay je kot although last...haihhhh. Pastu, ortho i lagi 2-3 weeks baru pasang. I mcm ngilu/sensitive kot sikit skrg. And td dia tarik mulut i utk ambik gambar sakit gilaaaa huwaaghh 😭😭😭 i mcm nyesal lak nak pakai braces. To go through all the procedures. Tp my cross bite needs to be fixed. Kay whatever la ortho...gen surgery kena buat presentation slides. Hmmph korang dlu xde pun en ahhahah so i mcm tgh merenung nasib diri i dgn all these things hahah 😭 lastly, i sedih sbb i xtau how to push and start myself for blocks. I tgh serabut gila 😞 im so tired of not being good enough. Why all of sudden i dont feel the presence of my "luck" anymore 😪...i just wanna get my momentum back. Bagus gak i puasa harini, i tak memaki 😖...i mcm penat ja la and i x bgn sahur tp omg im just sad la because of everything. Ni bukan totm. This is my pure sadness 😞 this is just how i feeling rn. Hmmphhh... And lagi teruk, last few days the lecturer made all of us write two topics which were 30+ pages long. Like no kidding. My fingers are damn painful rn i just wanna cry cry cry cry Eeghhh Never thought clinical will start to be this hectic hmmm 🌈
