i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#sorry im bored of the same tags on this lmao #sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd.#i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist!#something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine

i'll let phie-san say it:

#the vids i've seen on tiktok picking at her immediately get a block...#bitter otaku sitting in their socks in their mom's basement feeling threatened/enraged by a hot successful black woman outnerding them-core #also this kind of criticism is so demoralising and damaging to people who are trying to learn another language #also. accents are NORMAL and not a bad thing #i don't think that the end goal of picking up a new language necessarily has to be sounding native #and i know sometimes the way japanese people react like SUGOIII? *W* when a foreigner says like one (1) word in japanese is joked about #but like... genuinely... i always love when someone clearly has made an effort and took the time to learn some of the language #anyway she can step on those haters <3 #also like. it’s just some lines in a song people need to relax…#megan thee stallion #autoplay warning #japan #japanese #language #mamushi

#my art #harry du bois #kim kitsuragi #disco elysium #disco elysium fanart #harrykim #kimharry #or whatever they're called #let this man have happiness or so help me #im a firm believer in harry getting a slow post-recovery glow up alright. it's the least i can do for the guy.#man i was listening to so many banger songs while making this #im still getting back in the flow of painting so most of my stuff is kinda messy still #but i suspect ill find a middle ground between this and my last piece style-wise #gearing up to drawing kim in all his glory too now that ive finished two different side profiles of him. only a matter of time now #also fun little fact. i drew over half of this (~4 ? hours) using just my finger on the trackpad of my laptop lol #sometimes it helps me to just put shapes and colors down. when ive got a pen i get too nitpicky about being perfect/using fancy techniques #sometimes all you need is. finger 🫶#OH!! i forgot to mention someone spotted it in the tags—yes this is based on that one leyendecker piece!!

May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home

#svsss #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #bingqiu #sqq #lbh #scum villain #heard the song Take This Body Home by Rose Betts and it nearly took me out at the knees #it really really suits sqq's self-detonation in hua yue city right? i'm not the only one feeling this?#considered adding some literal shards for them to be stepping on - since sqq's sword explodes - but i couldn't quite make it work #anyway this has been playing like a music video in my head for the past couple days highly recommend listening to the song #if you haven't heard it before #can't get over the absolute dissonance between how sqq views this scene and how everyone else must feel about it #like to him he's just completing his plan - hopefully keeping lbh from destroying a city with energy imbalance and escaping The Plot #nbd! he and sqh have planned it all out it's FINE :) off he goes!#meanwhile everyone who loves him - including lbh who worked years to get back to him and is trying to work through a lot of grief #and resentment and doubt and longing and... - watches him DIE in FRONT OF THEM #just collapse while coughing up blood sword disintegrating energy completely consumed #like holy hell sqq could you traumatize the people around you any more???#no wonder lbh went a little bit crazy after that like my man was already not in a great place but what the fuck #lbh watches his shizun presumably sacrifice himself for him ONCE AGAIN like after he's finally Gotten Strong his shizun is STILL #coming to harm in an effort to make up for his shortcomings #my art #most of the time out here drawing what amounts to muppets and then sometimes i get the urge for this and just need to cover everyone in blo

DAILY HYUNJIN GIFS UNTIL HIS BDAY: love you and all your little things - everything is better when laying down

#hyunjin #skz #stray kids #bystay #gifs #staydaily #HYUNJIN EXE HAS LOGGED OFF #sometimes u just gotta go the floor for emotional support #everything he needs is on the ground. i think rose made that song about him actually #personally the top first is my fave the way he just plops down like he’s being pulled by a magnet #we’re pulling at each other like magnets 🧲 🎵 see how every song ever is about hyunjin somehow

"It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye,"

The Amazing Devil truly knocked it out of the park with Fair in terms of love songs i mean its got everything. Domesticity, deep adoration, confessions of love when youre sure no one else can hear, a that's what she said joke, yogurt, genuinely dont think there's a more romantic song on the face of the earth

#its everything 2 me you dont understand #the 'him' in that song.... hes so me #need to have a word with joey batey and madeleine hyland abt this one fr #god. the thats what she says joke almost reduces me to tears sometimes.#how unreasonably in love i am with everything you do!!!!#i cant even pick more lines from the verses to quote like its all so. waugh.#they werent lying that devil sure can amazing #their constant ability to marry small ridiculpus mundane things with profound metaphorical epic things really shines in Fair. idk #every time i see a bad taylor swift lyric in the next few days ill just listen to some tad to cleanse my soul #my shit #the amazing devil

It’s okay, it’s okay / My love will fall with grace

(When Ninjago stresses me out I revert back to watching Skybound three times over and putting The Crane Wives on loop. To which the funny coincidence happened that I realized how well Icarus fits Skybound Nya. This is a direct redraw of the album cover. Goodnight <3)

Same Halloween party, everyone assumes neither of these two are in costume but Andrew is secretly wearing those retractable vampire fangs and the only people that know are Renee and Neil

#sometimes I hear the sweet siren song of drawing real vampire stuff #it’s v tempting #and then I go look at pepeshka’s vampire art and I stave it off another day #pepeshka’s vampire art my beloved #joking I will not keep putting off drawing vamps #I just have very little bandwidth to spare and it’s already been done so well #that it is not high on my priorities #I just wanted to goof #anyway #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #andreil #halloween #halloween 2023

♫ ♪ And they're homebound♫ ♪ That's how the lyrics go, right?

A small continuation from the first recruit attempt.

One of those cases if you fail to recruit the dark urge the first time, there's always a second opportunity.

Or as The Dark Urge Godsdammit is unfortunately discovering, there's more than one headache he can't escape from.

#bg3 #The dark urge #durge #bg3 durge #greygold #was haunted by the silly A Thousand Miles song reaction; had to draw #I wonder if any'f y'all're still familiar with that 'making my way downtown' song ha #When Beast-Tamer Ranger tries to befriend Giant Monty Python White Rabbit.#sometimes you just gotta trace a screenshot environment for funsies rather than art practice reasons

Uhm uh uh...I have no excuse for this 😔 PPG self insert who is secretly an alien! I imagine her intro episode would have her having a little romance with the professor when he comes into a bookstore she works at/owns and the girls being (rightfully, given the prof's dating history) suspicious of her. Wacky capers ensue where they try to prove that she's up to no good, only to find that she genuinely is just chilling and wants to live a normal life on earth!

Well, normal as she can, now that she knows this family! I think she'd fit right in 😉
