First meeting
#stobotnik#doctor ivo robotnik#agent stone#sonic movie universe#i hope you all are noticing what i'm doing with stone's clothes specifically#white shirt pre robotnik black to fit his goth boss then colors when ivo starts wearing red#also i know we all like to think robotnik hated being assigned an agent but i present to you:#he sees it as a symbol of status kinda. stone hates being here#it just feels right to me. it's not that robotnik thinks the agent will be useful at all#he's just pleased that he got one#everyone else has an assistant why shouldn't he?#this ties to a very very stupid headcanon i have#and it's that robotnik's blood type is O negative#HEAR ME OUT he would hate that. he would hate being an universal donnor because he doesn't care about saving lives of humans ew#but then stone is also O negative so that means robotnik can receive blood from him if necessary#and that's mostly the reason why he was chosen to be his assistant#ivo is too important to die! and O negative blood isn't that common#Stone knows but probably no one told robotnik#then of course imagine stone getting injured and needing blood and ivo is like wait i can do that it doesn't matter what his blood type is#you get the point#i think. i'm pretty sure there was a point#oh well#oh the no hr joke. they're a shady goverment organization i don't think they treat their people that well#that being said maybe robotnik's treatment of stone was the reason they had to get an hr department who knows

What’s that#Going back to reading Discworld now. hogfather in April is also very normal but I highly recommend it!#digital art#Procreate#mine#art#supernatural fanart#castiel novak#okay I don’t really know what the hell the symbolism of this is but I think this tag#Destiel#maybe is relevant. I hope.

the wonderful design of stan and ford's ena by @urdadsceilingfan !! i had to draw them, they're just soo perfectly combined. i originally only planned to do one side, but it got a little out of hand
#gravity falls#stanford pines#stanley pines#ena oc trend#ena dream bbq#grunkle stan#grunkle ford#my art#yes i did purposefully give stanford a cooler gun for no real reason other than its awesome#dont question it#HIS GUN IN THE SHOW IS BORING GIVE THIS MAN A REAL SCI-FI GUN#you may be inclined think the dual-toned shading is a stylistic choice - perhaps even a symbolic one.#wrong.#i merely cannot work with color

Now I need to decide if I should change it

i don't generally bother posting the stuff i knit exactly from existing patterns but i finally wove in the ends on a couple frankensteined socks and figured i might as well throw them up here? they're very dumb but i'm fond of them.
for the first pair i made up a colorwork pattern for the feanorian heraldic symbol, and slapped it together with the pisqu sock structure and toe pattern, and a snippet of a mitten for the sole halves. the yarn is 100g of jamieson's of shetland that i got on the high street of fort william, as a treat after walking 100 miles from glasgow to get there, and i had... maybe 10 yards total left over? i had to cut off the long tail from my cast-on and use it to graft the toe closed on the last sock; it was nerve-wracking. if i did this pattern again, i'd probably put the toe motif in between the two heraldic lozenges, but the first time through i wasn't sure how the math would work out so i frontloaded them. ah well!
the second pair is the structure of an existing sock i've forgotten the name of (worked in the round from the tip of the heel to a hat-like shape with six sides; two opposite ones are grafted together to form the instep and the other sets of two open into the cuff and close into the toe), with the colorwork pattern from the gogink sweater yoke. i thiiiink you could do this with basically any colorwork sweater yoke, but i've only tried it with this one. if i did it again i'd add some short rows to the front side of the cuff; the construction sort of pulls it down so that the heel side of the cuff is higher than the front, and a couple short row rounds would probably level it back out. i like these because they neatly smash the cuff-down/toe-up binary and make everybody mad, and i am at all times an imp of the perverse.
#ignore me standing in my windowsill it's the cleanest part of my room rn and the lighting was good#knitting#fiber art#knitblr#that's it that's enough tags if you see it you see it.#oh also if anyone wants charts/more detailed instructions for either of these let me know and i'll slap something together!#i also have a colorwork block for the nolofinwean heraldic symbol if anyone feels strongly about their allegiances#but you gotta say þerinde with the þ seven times out loud before i'll give it to you‚ because i am a horrible partisan bastard :D#aggressive linguistic prescriptivism#<- fiber arts tag for a reason!#subcreation

sctir is such a good story if you're obsessed with worldbuilding Implications because yoojin is also Constantly thinking about that stuff. He's just a (previously) regular guy who has to live in this weird urban portal fantasy world so he cares about stuff like tax brackets and zoning laws and fair contract-writing and alternative uses of everyone's crazy supernatural powers. I can't count the number of times I started thinking "wait, couldn't you-" only to have it answered the next sentence. When his internal monologue mentioned dungeon resets being used for public waste disposal i practically cheered
#sctir#s classes that i raised#the s classes that i raised#inventory sealing curses#heavy taxes on exporting high-rank items to other countries#the fact that potions are usually made locally so different countries end up with different flavors#making mundane items out of dungeon materials so you can store them in your inventory#the s-rank Get Used To Your Inhuman Strength dorm#the published list of which meds won't be blocked by poison resistance#the fact that having a portal gate instead of an elevator is seen as a symbol of crazy status and wealth for unawakened people#awakened first responders#when he talked about how safe monster laws allowed monsters out in public but with exceptions like hospitals or nursing homes#how noah Technically had to be registered as a monster as well as a hunter#i am eating this shit UP#every time a seemingly OP power has a completely reasonable drawback i gotta take a lap because its so My Flavor Of Story#also he has a tendency to think about it at the WEIRDEST times#like in the middle of fights#or getting kidnapped#or getting briefly kidnapped again#or getting kidnapped again (this time on purpose)#wheres that post about sololeveling jinwoo using his inventory to store trash chrissy come here this one is REAL

hansry week, day 5 - wedding
#hansry week#hansry#kingdom come deliverance#kcd2#hans capon#henry of skalitz#context for this one is the union of their two souls#a wedding they organized and celebrated by themselves in a secluded glade#picking chamomile and marigold. henry weaving the crowns because bianca taught him time ago (my personal headcanon)#a wedding between their own hearts and souls. only they would know and there's happiness in that#political marriage won't stop their hearts from singing in unison. omnia vincit amor#love triumphs over all. anyway.#also yeah i'm doing the marigold and chamomile symbolism again#because i'm a Narcissus type of guy and i love my association to these flowers for them and the reasoning behind it#should read the post i made again. for good measure#my art

Accidental pre-echofication designing + mask and senses stuff
bonus, height stuff from January that need some small updating mostly in the design aspect (the raindeer should be bigger too):
#rw#rain world#oc tag#rw ancients#rw echo#though still alive#oc: three sparrows#oc: preacher#oc: orithiya#oc: caper of euros#philosophy sessions au#my art#''why did the fact they have chitin skeletons have to be brought up there'' because I am fairly sure there's a VERY good reason the first-#-karma symbol represents and looks specifically like That

I love the relationship between Ra’s and Tim in the Red Robin run because it reads fundamentally as an unrequited crush. Between an old man who is so rich he will never spend all his wealth, a man who is considered to be charming in the same way a snake is, a man who is more powerful than the majority of other villains just on the strength of his legacy alone.
And.
A seventeen-year-old boy who has not slept in three days since the last time someone drugged him, has not showered in three weeks unless you count being thrown into a river, has not cleaned his room since he was three and his parents still payed attention to him.
And when I tell you which one has the crush on the other, that’s it, that’s the ultimate punchline, DC may never reach these peaks of comedy ever again.
#the inane ramblings of a madman#dc#batman#dc comics#red robin#tim drake#ra’s al ghul#ra’stim#rastim#this isn’t really shippy but like#these two are the funniest ship#ra’s being attracted to bruce?#expected reasonable an obtainable figure to sleep with like you’re going to kill each other understandable#ra’s being attracted to tim?#weird odd strange what do you mena you tried to flirt by telling him he reminded you of his mentor#honestly the best part of the red robin run#is ra’s believing in tim when literally every other character#including those tim is actually friends with#do not believe in tim#and blah blah symbolism blah blah betraying the only person who trusted him not to betray him#it’s hilarious#so fucking funny i can’t even begin to explain#tf was red robin other than a prolonged comedy skit
