The latest novelization based on a famous monster sci-fi motion picture "Pacific Rim" (2013) follows an alternative in-universe story-line, focusing on a crew of "The Knight", a European-made Mark-3 jaeger.

i actually finished something wahoo 🎉

GO READ HOW TO BE A PROPER GENTLEMAN BY @quilna!!

I think it's impressive that the original sketch dates back to early August, meaning this piece in total went through 2 months of exams, procrastination, switching to iPad and starting again on it from scratch, and still I had enough leftover motivation to finish it. This shows that Quill fics have great power to sustain motivation to draw, out of sheer talent and guilt if I don't finish it.

once again go read the fic please I beg of you

obsessed with julian asking "what did they do to you? is it some kind of punishment device?" in the wire because my god if this man didn’t go from "this is garak my super cool spy pal who i go on secret missions with and sometimes fuck teehee but also yeah his planet’s kinda fucked up and he’s got some weird ideas but we’re working on it" to "this is garak he's my precious little angel babyman who has been horribly traumatized and brainwashed by his government but it's okay because i'm a doctor and i will fuck and suck the fascism out of him if it’s the last thing i do" in just two years. shit's wild

The unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching begins to fill the air. Whoever is coming seems to have brought some company along…

They are getting closer… and closer… and closer…

…and closer…

……until..................

"Goooooood evenin'!!" Comes the loud greeting from a certain blond man. A big smile on his face and all.

"We beg your pardon for our prolonged absence. It was completely beyond our control..." Then adds the gentleman standing by his side, apologizing on behalf of both, offering a genuine smile along with the apology.

"...BUT! We're back!" And hopefully for good this time…

Been thinking on some stuff for a while now- and now that artfight has concluded and some days have passed, I think I've decided that, at least for a while, I'm going to walk away from publicly making artwork.

My original intention was to finish up this whole year- I even had a lot of stuff planned and in progress. But I found that after a couple months, I just couldn't find the willpower to keep doing any of it.

It was my hope that pushing myself to participate in artfight, an event I really enjoy, would maybe give that refreshing sense of motivation again. While it was lovely, I'm very glad I was able to participate and don't regret it, I've found that coming to the end I felt even more strongly that I don't have it in me anymore.

I don't really have a satisfying answer as to why. I guess I've just become acutely aware of how lonely being an independent artist is. And with situations becoming what they are (global politics, economic crisis, ai and collapse of social platforms, etc), this isn't something I can indulge any longer without being able to bring some kind of income.

Not really sure what to do with myself from this point, creating art is really the only thing of worth I've ever had, but right now it feels like decades of wasted time and it's best I just stop before I hate it. At the least, I need to stop creating art intended to share to a public for a while, and only make something for me if anything at all.

I don't expect anyone to read this lmao, I'm aware I'm just one stranger in a sea of millions. But if you are someone who's interacted with my art in any way, reblogging, leaving tags or anything else, I'm grateful for it and thank you <3

re: these posts that are like if you don't have a blocked nose rn you should stop and appreciate that. well you should also stop and appreciate it if you don't currently have some sort of category five itchy and painful rash happening all over your entire forearms. and your neck also. "that's weirdly specific" yeah it is isn't it. this is due to the fact that i'm in hell

UGH.

I really wanted to finish an art piece for the Psychonauts 20th anniversary but I've been staring at this stupid drawing all day and I don't know what to do with it and I'm honestly just getting sick of looking at it. 😔

[todayisafridaynight]

you need to share those hijikata screenshots every once in a while i’m running kinda low and it would benefit my collection greatly🤞

God help me if i still have the large Fuck You google drive of hiji screenshots

Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle is supposed to be a movie about the long-awaited showdown match between eternal rivals Karasuno Vs. Nekoma, but the truth is it's really a love letter tribute to Nekoma and a beautiful sendoff to the best match they ever played. Karusuno may have won the game, but it is the players of Nekoma who are the protagonists of this chapter of the story.

Nostalgic, right-in-the-feels stuff, all the members had their moment and I am soft! Highly encourage a big-screen viewing because the volleyball gets served way, WAY high! Even if you aren't already a fan of Nekoma you'll still come out of this movie entertained. And since it's hitting movie screens in more countries than your usual niche anime movie, it's a chance not to be missed.

Bonus: I went for a fan screening that came with a 33.5 bonus booklet and it is my favorite thing ever because it has pages with Furudate's chicken scratches and I live to see such drafts honestly because nothing like feeling your art level is finally on par with the pros; so inspired, ahahaha!

Cringetober day 3: unnecessarily complex fit

[brains-out-rn]

I don't like debating much(unless necessary for the sake of my own humanity) but sometimes it can be really Really fun specifically if it's about something that has absolutely no real weight to it(and yet if you were a spectator it might cause some concern for whatever reason)

for example: would you rather be threatened(physically mentally or emotionally take your pick) by a can of corn or a cob of corn?

Me personally I'd pick cob for a few reasons

1. I can outlast it(probably)

Fresh corn will eventually rot and decay but have you seen how long canned stuff can last unopened before it looks slightly different from new stuff??

2. Cans are made of metal not vegetable flesh

While a corn cob has its core that's not metal. Ever dropped a can? Might get a dent. If you have a good kick then you might survive but you will probably hurt your foot. Ever dropped corn? If it had it outer leaves and hair it might have stood a chance but if it didn't then bits of corn go everywhere

3. Actually fighting if needed

I feel like I could survive a fight with a sentient can but a sentient cob just seems less likely to hurt

However there are some things might change my decision

Like issue one which is how the corn moves because if the cob is fresh with hair and leaves and can move all the little hairs individually and can move the leaves then I'd probably choose the can because at that point I feel like it's less of "how would i survive with the least amount of bruising" and more of "how would I rather die but with a chance of surviving" and in my opinion i think blunt force trauma would be better then a slow death of strangulation via a sentient corns hair plus I do think I'd have a chance against a can of corn

Another issue is if it was mentally or emotionally I'd probably go with the can bc I feel like it would be easier for to rationalize it as ridiculous to be threatened by a can of corn then a cob for some reason

Like a cob is ridiculous to the point that I'd just accept it as making sense for that to happen?

a can is like "why am I listening to the can of corn. I literally own a can opener." But a cob is more like "if I were to try and deal with you in the traditional way of dealing with corn that would mean a pot and water and time and-"

Plus idk why but I feel like a cob would be less mean with its words. I can't explain it I just think cob would just go straight to physical threats instead of emotional ones but a can would stare at you menacingly making you question yourself and just judging you

I think it would be real fun if Crona resembled Arachne more than they resembled Medusa like features wise

Also crona deserves a tail Medusa has one so why not crona too and also I think they both have forked tongues

In general I think crona deserves to be more snakey, I think medusa is venomous and crona has venom glands but the black blood during their development prevented like. The venom being a thing their body produced. The black blood I think also sort of prevented them from developing the magic they’d need to grow into a full fledged witch. Also heat pits crona and Medusa should have little heat pits because that’s fun

Also also this ties back into witch biology stuff that I haven’t posted about at all but I really need to I have so much on it but Medusa self fertilized to create crona, she didn’t want to have the imperfections of another ruining her experiment.

Also also also the idea of a mother(in the human sense) is sort of foreign in modern witch culture(pushed away as more big families were wiped out and Arachne sort of co opted the idea of a ‘family’ for her cult) but Medusa has always been fascinated by humans and figured the idea of a mother was perfect for her purposes in raising crona
