Today i realised there are blogs i follow on Tumblr and who i love seeing their posts, that partially are very different from the stuff i post, and with who i never interacted one-on-one in the entire time i spent here, and i just wanted to say:

thank you for being here and making my Tumblr days a bit brighter, and i hope my little blog brightens your day a little bit too 😘

cant a girl just tie a butch up and hold a knife to their throat every once in a while? and not let them touch until they're whining and begging and pulling at the ropes? slapping them in the face when they can't keep their hips from bucking up into you

As an artist, I’ve been struggling lately. It feels like everywhere I look, AI art is in the news, and I’m seeing more and more artists losing work while companies like Meta take our data to train more models and everywhere they are trying to shove shitty AI features down our throats. It’s infuriating, and frustrating, and depressing - and some days it makes me want to give up drawing altogether.

It’s honestly stolen my joy in working with digital tools. How can I rely on them, when tech companies are proving they can’t be trusted - when companies like Adobe are showing that they will turn on their customer base in an instant if they think it will gain them an inch in the AI arms race. (Where the whole goal seems to be the elimination of artists altogether.)

That’s why I’ve decided to try and transition to traditional art - or at the very least, a combo approach of traditional and digital. (And because traditional is slower for me, I will also try to simplify/stylize more, and rely on references less.)

It’s scary, because I’ve gotten comfortable in the way I work, and also because I know my style will probably change a bit (and I’m worried people won’t like it as much 😓) But I feel like it’s my only way to go forward with art right now. Hopefully folks will stick with me through this journey, and still enjoy my fanart 🙏

my stupid malevolent headcanon is that John is right handed and Arthur is left handed so when Arthur lost control of his left hand he literally couldn’t write anything but John is only comfortable with his right hand except he can only control Arthur’s left hand. So they’re both suffering.

After finishing Doctor Who during Moffat's run, I think I see a pattern here for most (but not all) of his female characters choices in Doctor Who & Sherlock. I know people have already analyzed this before, but I want to do it myself so here we go.

There are primary three categories:

1. The first is the generic and the normal ones, according to him. Characters like Amy, Donna (silence in the library episode) from Doctor Who, Mary from Sherlock. These are the characters that will always stand with the good people, never straying, and whose life long dream is to settle down and have children. Mary of course is an outlier, because she had shot Sherlock and broke John's trust. But in the final season, it turned out that her hands had been forced, and she had been good all along.

For me, I think wanting to settle down to have a family of course is not necessarily a bad thing. I can't say for Mary and Amy because I couldn't relate to them personally, however, Donna's storyline in the Silence in the Library didn't sit well with me. When she was saved by the Computer, it sort of simulated a life that it thought she wanted. One where she had two beautiful children and a dotting husband. The problem here lies in the fact that she had been ridiculed and thought to be loud and brash and stupid all her life, and had been a temp for a long time. She literally ran to the TARDIS the second time she met the Doctor because she didn't like the life she had had, or the life her mom has been pressuring her to have. Can you see how reluctant she has been to pursue anything really? Do you really think her life-long dream, her secret desire is still to settle down and become a wife to someone? Maybe, but not before taking the chance to see the Universe with the Doctor. I actually have a feeling that finding a husband might have been on her list, but she could be doing that more out of obligation and societal expectations. Again, it's not a bad thing to want a family, but there's a recurring theme for his character choices that I can't help notice.

2. Second are the women who are smart and resourceful. These are the characters that are most of the time portrayed as sexy and intelligent, and most of all above all the others. Characters like Irene Adler and Mary (a little bit) in Sherlock, River and Clara in Doctor Who. I think there are many discussions we can have about the definition of strong, female, characters. However, I agree with many others that these women's lives all revolve around one man. And even if they are smart enough, we have to remember there will be one guy who can still tell them otherwise: which are Sherlock and the Doctor respectively.

3. The third type of women in Steven Moffat's writings are those who are too intelligent they become unpredictable and sometimes downright inhuman. Characters like Eurus in Sherlock, Missy in Doctor Who are in this category. They are extremely smart and morally questionable characters, and certainly, they have a lot of potential to explore. However, they are almost too smart that it becomes harder to relate to them. And since I don't think Moffat really knows how to deal with them, they are either put in a cage when they are being "naughty", or out of the cage at their male counterpart's side when they finally decide to stand with them, to be "good".

By the way, there is one addition that I think is relevant. It is fucking funny that with the way he wrote these women, they are most of the time too put together to really have any story to tell. From first glance, you wouldn't be able to really see what their backgrounds were like and what's on their minds, and as the story progressed nothing really developed. Since this is not good for story telling, he would give you some (in my opinion) unnecessary stories to compensate the lack of substances, such as family drama TM (the whole John and Mary arguments), or the boyfriend drama TM (why didn't you approve my choice of a boyfriend, Doctor? & OMG my boyfriend just been run over by cars because I said "I love you" to him). Those back and forth we didn't really see coming to distract us from the facts. However, this makes a lot of the stories feel disjointed and the time jump between episodes sometimes doesn't make sense. Also when the dramas are added, some audience (normally cis straight guys) can be like look, the main guys don't really care to deal with them and in comparison are way cooler, these girls just needed to be put in their places.

In conclusion, most of the women written by him are either categorized as:

(1) normal girls will -> get pregnant

(2) Smart & sexy powerful women will -> get beaten by the main character (who are always white, more superior and smarter)

(3) Unpredictable brainiacs (who deserve better) will-> get put into dungeons and cages 'cause they are crazy and "bad" (as in their beliefs are not aligned with the hero's). Oh and sometimes they can be sexy, too

The weather's changing

My migraine has been screaming

Inside of my skull

Just to let me know

And I'm reminded

That sometimes there are no drugs

Strong enough to muffle

The crushing weight of pressure

Wlw MonoShin Drabble #1!!

Shinso sat next to Kaibara in the lunchroom, the boy, involved in a conversation with Tsuburaba, sat next to him.

Despite this, their chatter was nothing more than background noise, alongside the clanking of cutlery against plates, and glasses against the wooden tables; all of Hitoshi's attention was trained on the goddess infront of her.

She was recounting a story to the purple haired girl, with the fork in her hand waving ever so slightly, delicate fingers holding it steadily as not to let it fly away. She was clearly enjoying herself, if the smile that could be seen in her gorgeus, blue-ish eyes was anything to go by.

Her other manicured hand played with a strand of her golden, soft hair. Hitoshi wanted to reach over and run her own fingers through it, as she knew how much the other girl liked it when she was shown that kind of affection.

Monoma paused, tucking a blond lock right behind her ear as she took a bite, and chewed behind her hand. It wasn't much until she was back to speaking, and really, Hitoshi was trying to pay attention!

But her eyes could only go back to her lips.

Perfectly kissable lips, lightly tinted by the cherry chapstick that the blonde always carried around.

She couldn't tear her eyes away, as the only thought going through her head was that she had to restrain herself from pulling the other girl over, into a kiss.

Fuck, she desperately wanted to cup her cheeks with her hands and guide the two girls closer to one another, then separate and see kiss-swollen lips, only go dive right back in for another peck, and then another, and then-

"'Toshi! Are you listening to me?" She half pouted, and Shinso's heart skipped a beat in her chest as she tried to look the other in the eyes.

"Uh- Err-" She stumbled over her words, suddenly very embarrassed.

If she hadn't been so preoccupied with composing herself, she would've heard Tokage complain about how she would've gotten diabetes by then, if it weren't for [Lizard Tail Splitter].

"I get it, I'm so gorgeus it's hard to stay focused, but you should at least try to resist my charm!" She laughed, and oh, was it one of the most beautiful sounds Hitoshi had ever heard.

"I'm afraid that's impossible." Hitoshi tried to dissimulate, as she hoped the blush on her cheeks was going away.

When she got no response, she looked back to the girl infront of her.

Red had started to creep up on her features, clearly not having expected to be teased back.

And blush looked so good on her, Hitoshi had the overwhelming urge to kiss her breathless all over again.

This is just an appreciation post for Once In A While, and ONLY the original version by Barry Bostwick. Why are productions always speeding it up and adding dramatic-ass key changes, acting like it’s boring?? Like why do you hate gay people? let my man Brad sing his sad long little ballad!!!!

Let him have this!!!!!!!!

Me remembering you exist in the middle of eating snails and snail soup : 😶

The fact that you're thinking of me while you're eating makes me all giddy. Escargot or Luosifen 👀.

Either way:
