I cannot wait for this Stan to reconnect with his Ford.


I still haven't figured out HOW exactly they'll meet yet, but I do think that Ford would ATTACH himself to Stanley and talk his ears off forever when they eventually get comfortable :] and Stanley would listen because HOLY SHIT, THAT'S HIS BRO HE HASN'T SEEN FOR 40-ISH YEARS, HE MISSED HIS VOICE. Nonstop certified Yapper & Listener relationship <3
Stanley looks dead faced because of his ingrained poker face, but he's thouroughly enjoying it, even if sometimes he has no idea what the fuck Ford is saying. He never interrupts him though, since he knows people usually ignore or interrupt him mid-talk already. So sometimes Stan gets stuck in awkward situations where he has to leave or do stuff, but also doesn't have it in his heart to stop Ford and extract himself out of a (one-sided) conversation.
#Stanley: that motherfucker just ignored you completely- would you like me to kill him.#Stanford: Who? What are you talking about? Anyways. Have you ever seen gnomes before? Because just yesterday I-#I imagine conversations with Stanford to be very stitled and all over the place.#Since his thoughts are quite literally scattered- he can never really process them fast enough to actually verbalize them.#Or even understand them.#So he often only catch the tail ends of a thought- or cutoff half formed thoughts- or only the beginning half of an idea- memory- or opinio#And when he talks- you can really tell with the amount of tangents he goes off into and how everything he says#are completely disconnected and unrelated from one another.#I think the reason he talks so much is because it's his way of desperately trying to get himself understood by someone- including himself.#He's hoping that maybe- by verbalizing EVERYTHING in his mind all at once into some incomprehensible word vomit- that someday-#those senseless- useless words will one day magically order themselves into the right sentence for him to be finally be able to say what#he actually MEANS.#But because he's ''that crazy Town Kook Ford'' he just never really gets the chance to talk to anyone.#People in town baby him- treat him like a child.#And I mean- it must really hurt. For someone of his former intellect to have lost all ability to express himself eloquently#Not because he's any less smart- but because he just can't talk anymore. At least- not in any way that matters#I think Stanley understands him though. I think Stanley would understand his struggle to not be labeled as just stupid by others#Anyways- that was my ramble <3#my post#asks#sput chatters#stanford pines#ford pines#stanley pines#stan pines#gravity falls#gravity falls au#Town Kook Ford AU#my art

So we've all been having fun giving him bug wings right
(I gotta mention that this post in particular inspired me here... they're so little. His ass is not flying anywhere unless he's thrown)
And I do see the logic here. He has the li'l antennae after all (and him being a lightning bug would be especially fitting). But I'd like to point out that as a Fleischer-esque mix-and-match creature, he does also have a pig nose... therefore I suggest:
Pig. Hoofs.
I rest my case.
Also a little bonus... the touch-starved Luxposting has gotten to me. Pet the creature
#✏️ rory draws#the fourth drawing could not be cropped in a way that I found acceptable. was genuinely tweaking there#so uh. I gave up for now#maybe I'll add it later (people deserve to see the rizz face)#mr. ring-a-ding#lux imperator#his wings fluttering as a form of expression would be so so cuteses..... like you know how pigeons/birds do lil happy flaps with theirs#next time (if I ever) draw him I'll make them longer though#real lightning bug-like#the hoof headcanon was just a fun little thought but it has stuck. permanently. this is how it goes with the nonhuman blorbos#if I don't give them peets I give them hoofs#apparently#(but I am always right & correct)#mildly surprised that I've never seen anyone do this before?? and I've seen a decent amount of fanart. I suspect that I am the first#I also didn't end up adding any surrounding small scribbles to make these look less empty. because uh. tired#get in the white void boy#he looks so soft... squishy... 'tis the curse of my artstyle unfortunately#next time I'll need to draw him unhinged & with rabies

so emo over them set to iris by the goo goo dolls that i just had to colour this
#cal be like ''i'd give up forever to touch you''....#nova be like ''you're the closest to heaven that i'll ever be''....#nova be like ''i don't wanna go home right now''......#cal be like ''i just don't don't wanna miss you tonight''.......#agh#and then the chorus is like:#''and i don't want the world to see me'' / ''cause i don't think that they'd understand ''#''when everything's made to be broken'' / ''i just want you to know who i am''#that'd be nova when he first arrives in mistria; highly socially anxious to the point of being distant and downright unapproachable#but he manages to become comfortable in this new place thanks to caldarus's encouragements#caldarus watches nova blossom; sees him find his place in town and make friends w his fellow townsfolk#sees him become unafraid to express himself; admires his various outfits#then the chorus would be caldarus when he takes his humanoid form#he's a secret only nova knows about#grappling with a lot of confusing feelings for his closest companion#a simple helper turned friend to dear friend to the one he pines after; while having no clue what he's feeling#ack. my heart#my art#doodles/sketches/wips#artists on tumblr#fields of mistria spoilers#fields of mistria#fields of mistria caldarus#fom caldarus#caldarus x farmer#nova dragonsworn#can't believe it took til drawing 3 to draw the tail. i think it's very cool#that's another thing: spiky tail; sharp nails; towering stature#a creature that could easily be dangerous; only wanting to treat the farmer with the utmost gentleness. melting

I almost had this done last week and commented "Wow, Hiei is really easy to draw." SO ofc the file got corrupted and I had to redraw it all. What a jerk.
#yu yu hakusho#yyh#Hiei#character sheet#expressions#Jagan Eye#Jaganshi form#It was hard to make an expression sheet because Hiei usually only had 3 expressions. Cocky. Angry. Neutral#Top right corner is my attempt at Hiei crying. Sorry. Bit of a cop-out#once again#I used the manga more for reference than the anime for the hair#I never realized how much hair Hiei has until I couldn't fit it on the page LOL#I had to shorten it oops#My favorite is the middle neutral expression. I like the eyes. But I enjoyed drawing Hiei looking evil the most

rereading the nuca pink doujin and seeing yakumo tear himself apart re: his snake form vs his human form all this agony and self-doubt and silent suffering and fear of rejection like "if i looked less human would u hate me" , "if u saw me in my true form wouldn't that be horrible. terrifying. disgusting" , "if i admitted i want to swallow you whole would you think worse of me"
and i imagine him asking something like this to the crowd of clan members , who are , undeniably,, a group of Kinky Fuckers
they all smile with the serenity and carefully masked excitement of a horny olivine. masterful beautiful reassuring expressions (errr..... masked to different degrees depending on the clan member)
#yaku is in his head so much about that#he thinks his snake form would be gross right? right????#eiden might give me Wet Hole privileges when i look like this carefully crafted human avatar#but if i revert to my original body there's no way anyone would ever want to ..be with me... like that? right???#meanwhile eiden's just got that sly look on his face in the corner waiting for yakumo to make the proposal#i can't imagine any of the clan members being particularly freaked out about yaku in snake form.....#all the yokai are immediately eliminated from Grossed Out pool. like. that's them. they know how it be#then you got the ppl who have lived way too long to be shocked by a sweet little snakewife being more noodley than usual#rei and quincy fall into that category most likely. blade by association because . well. blade.#he's gonna make a Yakuchan Snake sculpture and it's gonna be extra cute so yakumo doesn't feel shy about his snake form anymore#(actually it's going to freak yaku out even more and he's gonna spiral thinking that he's uglier than he ever imagined)#(and he's gonna run away feeling more insecurity while blade is SUPER CONFUSED because he captured his cuteness perfectly??)#(eiden's gonna have to reconcile another misunderstanding. sorry eiden. artistic differences are rough)#and you have the general Kinky Fuckers like eiden oli and morv#morv won't care as long as you feed him LOL#and eiden and oli are just sideeyeing excitedly like. snake? snake??? can we. can we try that 👀#i imagine that the only people who might express hesitation at first are edmond and dante#eddie would probably cave though once he realises it is IN FACT still yakumo in there. and he can fully consent#(then we give way to Kinky Fucker Edmond. Welcome to the party eddie!)#hmm... dante... never really thought about him and snakekumo...#how would that even go DOWN? like what is even the siTUATION here? how did we get here??#dante catches sooley who has a tiny snakekumo in his mouth??? a tiny lil guy who was lurking in his palace for some reason???#hm. warrants more thought exploration. we'll come back to that another time.#nu carnival yakumo

Ive kinda been retarded getting attatched to someone without ever seeing her. We've talked about how i didnt feel very good with the idea that shes like 5y younger than me and how when talking online its nit a big deal but maybe irl it'd make it awkward and she said blah blah no. We barely spent 3 days together last week and turns out yeah.. it felt weird and awkward, kind of like just when im hanging with my little sister. Shes sweet i like her a lot shes cute but irl it feels a bit weird thats really all. So of course i thought i should tell her we've been talking for 4 or 5 months and all idk i didnt feel like keeping something to myself. Well maybe i shouldnt have cuz shes acting like im telling her to fuck off shes like full on passive aggressive we cant have a basic discussion fuck this shit man
#she got 19 this month#im bad at expressing myself but dont get it wrong it didnt say it bluntly or anything i put all thz right forms ans said the righr stuff#how we've been talking for a while and that changed nothing to all that#how i still mean it#i fear shes taking it as some cheap excuse#when really no thats just something i needed to say#i know im retarded too i clearly have issues and leech off anyone thats sweet to me online it makes me insane#but she knows#i know she knows she called me out on having attatchment issues a few times or whatever#a few years ago i said i woulsnt do any distance stuff anymore well look at that#im retarded#i got her sometjing for her bday#i only got it delivered this week so i have to send it to her im not keeping that#idk what to do idk what to message her

Ohhh no, I forgot about combining
How big would the gestalt be if they Did combine though. Fuck a dragonfly (vortex) and a moth (swindle) don’t seem like a bad combo but what are the other 3 (onslaught/blastoff/brawl).
I thought I just had to deal with swindle stealing my valuables and maybe eating my more expensive fabrics and maybe walking in on vortex doing degenerate bug stuff on his own or with the little red and white bug he brings.
If I see some shin to knee high bug in my house I’d have punt that thing so hard metal be damned. The broken/sprained foot would be justified to me.
PL anon
it's bruticus' house now!!!!!
uhhh quickfire round of bugs because its 2am. blastoff. also moth but much bigger. onslaught like many other bugs that exist in our world and also the world of cybugs is likely to be some sort of beetle.
brawl... wait what does he look like again

thanks google for this snippet from tfwiki, that helps a lot. he'd be an amazingly cute bug of mass destruction.
#i cannot express the emotion i felt upon seeing that be the first thing that came up in my search#incomprehensible feeling.#swindle eating ur fabric is so real though#i considered onslaught being a dung beetle specifically just for the comparison of him guiding around their crew like some sort of katamari#but from what i know of him hes more hands off so it doesn't quite fit imo.#id say stag beetle but thats closer to prowl and his chevron i think!#many beetle options out there though.#velwy.txt#inbox#pl anon#shin to knee height is probably abt right for their combined form LMAO#big bug.#cybug extras#cybug combaticons#?#im not tagging them seperately.

if i see one more post about how solas/mythal/elgar'nan had a weird love triangle thing going on i'm gonna scream
#probably gonna annoy some people by saying this#but i think it is really telling that taash's response 'they were doin' it'#is positioned in a way that strongly implies it's the immature response to take#not to say i'm 100% right bc they left it deliberately vague for a reason#you're meant to make up your own mind#and i personally do not see this as a stupid love triangle bc a. i fucking hate love triangle plots they're overdone and boring#and b. it's stated multiple times that the ancient elves felt things in different ways that can't be fully understood by mortals#so deducing that it was a romantic bond is an oversimplification of something that's actually very abstract#falon'din and dirthamen were called both twins and lovers by legends but it turned out to be neither of those things#they were just one spirit split into two#the only two that i think were actually romantically involved were ghil and andruil bc it's stated that they fell in love in the abyss#and there are statues of them naked holding hands apparently#we didn't get enough info about sylaise and june to really say much about their relationship#the actual regret memory of solas and mythal meeting in secret#is the memory that the inquisitor gives to rook#and it appeared after the ritual was interrupted and solas killed varric#when varric told him to stop#when varric expressed his love for his friend and died for it#the parallel is not of lovers but of solas taking mythal's place and varric taking his#ugh i'm just so uncomfortable with the solas/mythal romance stuff#like it actually nauseates me#not out of jealousy but bc his whole story is him dealing with the horrific trauma bond he formed with her#and those are so often borne from family bonds#like mythal is just one big mother wound to solas#i honestly think if they were lovers they would just state it as such#but people have a hard time imagining devotion as being anything other than romantic ig#sad bc platonic relationships can sometimes be more intense than romantic ones

(ai art yapping)
if you're not respecting art enough to at least make an effort in learning how to make it, then you're not making art at all, you're just generating slop.
you're taking away a fundamental part of art!!! art isn't just the end product, it's the process of the product and the process as experienced by the artist.
you're not experiencing the anguish of making something and coming out the other end going: hey that wasn't too bad. you're not experiencing the dissatisfaction of your finished work driving you to make something better. you're not experiencing the feeling of learning a new trick. you're not experiencing the feeling of taking a step back and realizing that your colors are working. you're not experiencing the feeling of being able to converse to other artists about your art + it's process.
#my art isnt expressive. by any means. but i dont think your art has to be expressive to be art; it just needs to have a part of you#it just has to be yours!!!! your effort!!!! your time!!!!!#idk. if your art doesnt make you feel like you've been trapped in an oven at some point then you're doing it wrong#this ofc applies to other forms of art such as writing but im addressing it as art simply cz im an artist lol#right. this post has been said time and time again by other people but it's Still so important to me. THE PROCESS.#thus spoke sumi

Hello! This is really random I'm sorry. In your recent comic with the toy store shopkeeps, one of them is a bird! Inquiring bird nerds want to know, are they based on a specific species? My first thought was Canada jay but the white outer tail feathers don't match perfectly, and my boyfriend guessed they were some kind of tit! Very curious and would love to hear if you had a specific species in mind for the birdy when designing. :]
I DID! I'm pleased you asked.
Canada Jay's a great guess based on the markings, but he was indeed based on a kind of tit. A Long-Tailed Tit, to be exact!

I knew I wanted to pick a round-shaped bird with this kind of head marking (to evoke male pattern baldness haha), and just looked at different species of birds that live in colder environments until I found one I liked the look of. Not the most precise resemblance (I still need practice drawing birds), but I'm happy that I captured the look well enough that his tit-ness was recognizable.
#i don't usually get this specific with species for my main characters#because then i'm more focused on trying to capture how they look and feel in their original human design in a furry form#and making their design relatively easy for me to draw repeatedly and expressively#and the resemblance to a real life animal isn't that important to me in comparison to those things#but with random background characters where there's no original design to go off of i try to do more specific species just for fun#since they don't need to be as expressive or uniquely featured#but anyway i'm trying to do more birds since i think they're cool but they're definitely harder to capture than mammals#i think i need to work on the way their heads are proportioned - i have the impulse to just shove the beak where the nose goes on a human#and that just looks awkward because the beak is also their mouth#also don't even get me started on whether to do wing hands or not. obviously i went with the simpler option of 'scaly hands'#but i don't know if that's the RIGHT option (esp since chocodile does wing hands for amaranthine birds)#ANYWAY RAMBLE RAMBLE RAMBLE i appreciate the ask - thank you bird nerds!#text
