In the event that you need an emergency moth to improve your week and see you into the weekend... Please enjoy this incredibly fluffy and delightful beast, captured by the late great Andreas Kay in Ecuador
A sketch and an attempted lineart for something I was thinking of for yuri week's cozy/outfit swap prompt, but I don't like how it's looking and was also feeling under the weather, but if it can serve as food to fellow gempearlers still then!! wahoo
The idea is Pearl lending Gem her cloak for warmth as she sleeps while she herself is unable to (Anxiety? Moth brain? Your pick)
Aaand that's all for yuri week from me lol. I actually want to make a little animatic to cap the gempearl streak off but it'll take a day or two to finish, just a sketchy ol' thing of a few gempearl moments from HC10. Thank you all for the love and thank you to anyone who participated in and/or organized the yuri week, it was so fun!!!!! The world has been healed a little
thinking about dungeon meshi (as you do) and something that has been increasingly bothering me is how many people call Laios 'stupid' or similar. Often even as they are trying to pitch the manga to people.
And it's been bugging me because it's just. Absolutely not true? Laios is socially inept to a fault, that's like half the driving reason for the plot. But beside the obvious 'he knows a shit-ton about monsters and this is very helpful to their dungeon adventuring', he's also shown to be a good strategist, and pretty decent at magic once he actually puts his mind to it. He's a competent team leader who knows his teams strengths and weaknesses well despite being fairly bad at people.
He can be silly, but to be fair so can most of his team. And he does make poor/stupid decisions (like eating raw parasite) mainly because of his hyperfixation sometimes. But he's far from stupid.
Idk man I am obviously annoyed because I think calling the heavily autistic coded guy 'stupid' is a bad look, but it annoys me doubly because the story makes it pretty obvious that he is not. That's a pretty essential part of the story actually!
Despite Felix’s chaotic nature, we all agree he’d purchase (and painstakingly build) the peacock-themed Barbie Island Princess playset for his new kwami to thrive in, right?
No matter how much Felix’s London friends bully him, I think he and Duusu are going to get along great! (´∀`)♡
so. The Lights Out AU. Those that are asleep? Where on earth are they? Like where the heck is Eddie? Laying in some puddle somewhere? in a bed? Is Frank looking after him until he wakes up?
they were originally in their houses, but after a ah... incident, Wally moved them into storage room off-set. it's a bit small so they're a little crammed in there with other Props and shelves and boxes and such, but it's not like any of them are awake to mind it. Walls regularly checks on them (usually along with removing them for one of Sally's plays) and makes sure to keep the door shut tight
Can't believe this is news to a lot of fandoms out there but...
If black people can't tell which characters in the show is black, it's because there's no black characters in it. If the show have "black characters" but black people don't know which one they are until someone in the production say it, then it's probably a shitty design that it's no different from the others "white" characters.
"oh but the VA is black" so does the VAs of many white characters.
An elephant hawkmoth warming up it's wings. May we forever have moths like this in the world 🦋💖
Edit: for those wondering - yes, this is very definitely A Moth. (Not a butterfly, bee, hummingbird, any other bird, or an extremely smol plane... Though they do sound a bit like tiiiiny planes when they vibrate their wings.) There's more on the elephant hawkmoth here, here, and here. If you love it and you have a garden then don't overdo the weeding, bc it eats rosebay willowherb (UK)/fireweed (US).
My, those photos look terrible on desktop. Anyways! I don't like it in terms of "fanart for this specific lyrics part", i don't think it shows what i wanted it to represent, but i have grown to like it as a funky fluffy moth pal that's chilling over my desk now, so yeah.
"Look, okay, you’ve heard about the butterflies?” Lafavel asks, “Butterflies?” Dande explains, “You know, the butterflies in your stomach.” Lafavel says, “Ah, yes,” and Dande asks, “Are you feeling those butterflies?” Lafavel admits, “A little bit.” Dande says, “For me, maybe it’s just because I travel by night a lot, but I always thought moths were a better comparison.” Lafavel asks, “Moths?”
