#the difficulty is the draw. yknow?

[myersesque]

i've played sims games my whole life and it's fascinating to me how different my play style is now to when i was a kid. all my sims back then were ultra-rich and lived in mansions with hot tubs, dressed like supermodels, etc. all my sims now live in shitty apartments with their 5 children and pass out from exhaustion at least 3 times a week

[trainingdummyrabbit]

trying 2 figure out her stupid fuckig hairrr...

[artinandwritin]

I am exhausted and writing for the angsty Boy Chief AU wasn't working so I drew some otwd kiddos from my all time favorite fanfic series by @otwdfanfic

Sometimes I just need to draw them, they have a special place in my heart. At first I was like "oh let's draw Baldur and Eret and Bjorn too" but then my energy ran out so. Maybe another day haha

Gm I forgot to take my melatonin supplements last night and as a consequence I now have deep backstory hcs for deep cut. And by that I mean for Shiver, Frye and Big man had pretty normal lives fkgndjd

[official-doranverse]

Just wanna make an announcement tbh, I haven't abandoned doranverse but its story's in dire need of an overhaul. Lots of plot points and story details have been redone or scrapped and it's got to a point where I don't think I can continue it how it is. Like literally one of the previously planned side characters has been shifted into the main character role since they stole the thunder of skizii and I'm in the process of rewriting the whole thing and that's sorta why I just abruptly stopped posting. I really didn't wanna redraw the comic but it's inconsistent with it's structure and to start a story from the pov of several now side characters would make it messy to continue with it as it is and change directions like this, so I think I'm gonna have to shift to a clean slate and just redo it all. I should've expected this since it's my first time trying to actually for real do a comic and it's really hard man. I don't know when I'll get back to drawing it but I am damn well determined to make something of this silly story in my head so I'm focusing on more detail on the new script first.

Ooooohh godd.

[actualbird]

yknow, i really love the SR cards where the main plot is basically just NXX Boy Goes And Does A Thing, And He SUCKS AT IT!!!

vyn has SR Mercury In Retrograde where he does a fantastic job being absolute ass at household plumbing. marius has SR Overtone where he gets an A++++++ for being the last guy you wanna lend your guitar to, because hes really bad at playing the dang guitar. and at first i didn't know what artem's card was that followed this pattern but sam @samsspambox blessedly informed me that it's SR Thin Veil, the paywalled SR i dont have yet. and in that card story artem fucking SUCKS at PUPPETS

(sidenote: i generally weep at paywalled top-up cards but the concept of basically having to pay for artem's cringe is So Very funny to me)

but now here is where the injustice becomes apparent.....vyn, marius, and artem each have an SR Epic Fail: The Card Story

BUT WHERE IS LUKE'S?????????

to avoid any misunderstandings, here are the traits of what, to me, makes up an "SR Epic Fail":

one Main Thing is the thing our beloved nxx boy will suck at and what and it's also generally Main Focus of the whole card story (which then later leads to a sweeter core message about vulnerability and love and being okay with not being perfect etc)

our boy has to suck In The Moment. not in a flashback, not in a referenced past anecdote, no no. i want to have to tap through the entire excruciating scene/s of him failing at whatever hes doing

the story format has to be in a contained card story and not a recurring-but-brief theme in a personal story

with this criteria in place, it is IMMEDIATELY apparent that luke is the only one without an SR Epic Fail. the closest story instances would be the following:

SSR Through The Heavens (the skateboard card) since he fails at being a normal not-hypervigilant human being and also the NSB makes fun of him with memes, but this doesnt count because it wasn't the Main Focus of the story, there was a whole lot of other stuff going on and the Main Focus was the skateboarding which he did awesome at

some past anecdotes and flashbacks in SR How I Remember You (the luke blindfold card) about how luke sucks at drawing and sucks at charades, but this doesnt count because the drawing was just referenced in a few sentences and the charades fail was a brief flashback. it's also not the Main Focus of the story as well

his general inability/difficulty with cooking that is a recurring theme across his personal stories doesnt count because it's not a card, and thus isnt eligible

this is terrible. this is horrid. i love luke and i want a card thats all about him messing up at a minor activity. i want a full SR Luke Fucks Up At Cooking where the focus is what it says on the tin

i can even see the story so clearly in my mind's eye. it'd be so easy. maybe luke tries to make gingerbread man cookies but accidentally ends up with a gingerbread massacre.

luke mentions hes gonna bake and mc is excited about it because it seems he put a lot of thought and research and prep into it, maybe it actually starts with a scene of them shopping for ingredients together, and theyre both looking forward to luke's baking! but when it actually happens hes like "oh sorry a case came up, dont come over to my place anymore!!" which is sus

mc comes over anyway the next day to pick up some stuff she forgot and luke is there acting awfully nervous and his whole BUILDING smells of burnt gingerbread but there are no gingerbread treats to be found. luke keeps evading until mc finds The Massacre in a plastic container box haphazardly shoved into one of the kitchen cupboards

and it's an absolute baked-goods crime scene in there. none of the gingerbread men look like they were ever even men or homonids of any kind to begin with, it instead looks like all the dough just came together in the oven to create an amorphous Blob with the odd "limb" sticking out here and there. what luke has created is a gingerbread abomination.

mc stares at the gingebread abyss, and it stares back.

upon further investigation, mc even finds slight burn marks around the oven's door too and luke has his face in his hands, his shame is IMMENSE, just about as immense as the aroma of gingerbread treats everywhere. he was hiding it because he was worried that he got her so hyped up for the whole thing that it'd be SUCH a disappointment to her that he fucked it up!

and mc is like "hey no it's okay, as long as it tastes good, it doesnt matter how bad it looks!" and then she breaks off a piece from the gingerbread monstrosity and eats faster than luke can warn her "NO NO DONT DO IT---"

it tastes like shit

anyway they go out to get desserts from cafe instead and mc reassures luke that she obviously still loves him even if he created a baked treats atrocity and broke the genevabread convention. she tells him that if hes having trouble or if he fails, his instinct shouldnt be to hide it all and avoid her but to let her know and so she can help out, because she wants to be there for the wins and for the losses, for the good days and the bad. luke then goes all blushy grateful happy and they kiss and love is real.

the end. the post-story text conversation can go something along the lines of

luke: okay so i figured out why my gingerbread men went nuclear

mc: oh? why?

luke: i....misread "tsp" as "tbsp".........every time

mc: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

luke:

[kisaraslover]

Do you think Kisara has any hobbies besides sitting in Kaiba's lap?

Well i like to look at established Kisara to draw out more traits so first things first is the dragonic nature. I think Kisara deeply enjoys nature and solitude and sitting in the sun. I dont mean this like camping either, from ancient Egypt we see Kisara already has unusual resistance to exposure to elements, with something godly in her veins so i think she might be really zen watching birds to flowers to the sky and basking her place in all this. We all have a passing moments of "everything IS everywhere all at once, all is one, one is all" but i think it would be a constant presence in her. she swings between "oblivious to life weird ass woman" and "enlightened higher being" VIOLENTLY. Meditating would be grounding to her, in the opposite way to all other people meditating.

and then music. dragons are a kind of bird <3 dont look that up. i think Kisara has an uncanny aptness when it comes to music. one of those people who can pick up any instrument and play a simple tune on it. i dont think she has a remarkable singing voice at all though. embodies "people sing because they want to not because they are good at it" hums gently music she likes. if she tries to seriously sing along to a difficult song her voice cracks loserly. she laughs and continues yknow? its still Seto's favorite and if he catches sound of her humming before entering a room, he waits outside to listen for a couple secs. its his secret no one needs to know shhhh. ALSO the fic Paper Roses has piano player Kisara and the romance is served so well by Kisara giggling while placing Seto's hands on the right keys so.

making things with your hand is a very grounding practice for anyone struggling to stay in the moment and stay present and i just cant move past these very artistic but expensive looking hobbies from youtube shorts -tries not to cry about capitalism locking the public out of arts- so after getting that Kaiba Money she'd just go "i always wanted to try glass art btw" and seto goes "?????. thats. alright ok. go for it"

im really conflicted on many "hobbies" and what makes them hobbies but if we work with the basis "how you spend your day is how you spend your life" i think she'd really be the least online person. the activies above WOULD be very frequent but i think Kisara spends her most days, ironically enough, socializing. she'd be talking to employees (important business) or talking to employees (just chatting lol) out with friends of all kinds and trades, Mokuba and his friends or Seto and HIS friends, or most surreal one, Seto and HER friends. shes the kind of awkward person who listens more than they speak, with her own charms and difficulties, thankfully when you try enough you can find people you can get along with. very endearing on the line of strange, bringing out peoples protective sides which is why she would gather Mom Friends and Bossy Bitches and Protective Eldest Siblings faster than you can say her name. while i characterize both Kisara and Seto as kind of introverted, i think Kisara would be charged with a thirst to know and understand humanity (both result of godly roots and alienated youth) so if her luck turned around after meeting Seto i think she'd build quite the social circle, not even realizing how many people shes getting close to at first. Seto's socializing would be more acknowledging part of healing means creating support systems, opening up to people -to whatever extent he can- surrounding himself with people who he cares about and who care about him in return, and definitely less easier than her collecting friends.

SO YEAH! sorry for the LONG ASS reply, i think Kisara is adopted by many Extroverts and on the time off she goes into her workshop does fuck all (DEF made a wooden dildo to see Seto's reaction. mokuba laughed his ass off thinking it would perplex him. he took one look at it and said its a pathetic cock and he could nude model for her. no ones laughing now.....)

[pelman]

finally got SOMETHING together, ive been having such difficulty actually finishing art that i start lately........ bluhhhhh -_-

anyways! this is my "secondary" set of ocs, the grizzco gang! (named as such because they come from a fic i was writing about them after a grizzco shift, lol)

from left to right, we have Margo, aka Sureiken (she/her), an Inkling, Dakota/Coda, aka WeLost (he/him), a Cuttlefish, Lars, aka 4KidsFan (they/them) (after Four Kids Burgers and Squids, of course! yknow, five guys but in the future! (also yes canonically squid is eaten in inkling culture)), and Charon, aka Cheesus (xe/xem/xyr), both of which are Octolings. theyre a rag-tag little group of friends but they get along! margo, coda, and charon all live together in margos house, and lars lives separately with their pet nudibranch.

i hope to draw them more often, i love them so much and i think about them a lot ~.~

[criminal-sen]

Ugh so sick of constantly seeing what kind of art gets attention on here.. it's always the cleanest most sanitized n palatable Unproblematic Blorbo Art... draw a picture of uwu perfect bean hugging a heart shaped pillow and come collect your 10k notes.. am I just being a bitch or is there less edgy art getting popular nowadays? For once in my life I'm not even talking about my own shit - i dont expect fucking. Mayuri Kurotsuchi to get 10k notes lmfao - just art in general

Like if I see something violent, theres always some Deeper Meaning that's supposed to be gleaned.. yknow, like some professional-grade artist conveying the difficulty of being trans or something. I never see just. Idfk. Some guy with a knife who did a Stab. And I swear I used to see that all the damn time on here

[concessionstantinople]

Checking on the progress on the other person's half of an art trade is like an inner battle of "yknow what I rlly don't wanna keep pestering this person abt this thing, I mean they DID say they were having some difficulties with drawing my character and I've provided some stuff to help em out, it's ok if they're a little late ^^__^^" but also "it's been an entire week man cmon ." yknow

[miiilowo]

can i ask if there are more like dispatch, or if he's a one of a kind machine? what would he be specialized for? i love his design so much :00

i dont think hes one-of-a-kind, but if he were in ultrakill hed probably the only one Left. difficulty wise if it were a boss fight, itd be kinda like malicious face right at the beginning. if he were a common enemy, somewhere toward the end of limbo or beginning of lust. the specific dispatch i have in my mind and draw would be like the equivalent of having a swordsmachine oc that has been through some shit (just, yknow. completely original)

in my mind, their production got axed pretty early on just because they werent super efficient. they cant hold guns, so theyre strictly melee. kinda thing youd deploy in groups to mow down crowds w the swords

their biggest advantage is that while Most machines need super fresh blood if theyre gonna use it as fuel, dispatch(es? ers?) can filter it and use older or dirtier stuff. the energy source or core i guess is located in their chest, and is very very easy to destroy, so it still isnt giving them much

their legs are somewhat fragile compared to the rest of their body because theyre kinda thin and long, so if they get snapped off i imagined theyd just start walking around on the swords in a last ditch attempt to kill shit. but considering how impractical that is theyre never that successful

aside from that, they are VERY flexible and VERY fast, so they can fit in really small spaces and pretty much pack themself into a box if they wanted to. i imagine if they were a common enemy theyd just be the type youd die to if you werent really paying attention or were super overwhelmed (theyd probably have a pretty decent health bar on em so)

[findroleplay]

Heyy im Gabriel or Bëo 17yo, and I'm very bored at the moment. I'm currently looking for a partner/ppl fandomless RP. Because I don't like playing a character I didn't create and that I don't know well enough.

You should have +15 / -21yo~ as long as it's ok for everyone, I'm ok with mxm, not too comfortable with fxf and fxm, but I can still make the effort. I'm ok with OC's with handicapped people obviously, as long as everything is explained to me beforehand, so I can see how to play with it.

I accept any type of OC as long as it is credible in today's semi-fantastic world. Like elves, angels, démon, humans, with powers too ...etc without being too much. My oc for example is an elf who can control his body temperature, so he doesn't have a lot of impact. On the other hand I have another oc elf who can control water, if I decide to use him, I will end up having difficulty with his power to remaining coherent.

I love learning more about other people's oc's, I will be happy to talk about all this with the person concerned, I can even draw some if the desire and consent are there.

Also, for the NSFW, I accept the scenes before...yknow but not the act itself, because I am not comfortable writing it. Or even draw it to end up on the internet publicly.

It can be long-term, short scenes and not necessarily in the same universe, as long as there is communication, If there is a problem or something, I already had a problem with that and it was really not cool. so you have to be honest, normal.

I'm ok for RPs about daily life, very angsty, very fluff RPs, as long as there is life in our answers and a desire to develop, I'm ok for paragraphs 1 quite big, But also the quick responses when we are all connected.

To finish, I am connected every day, two months ago I will have RP every day (I did it for 2 whole years), but today I will be more moderate, you should not hesitate to remind me If I forget once or twice, it can happen on both sides obviously.

I am French and still at school, except on weekends and in the evening outside of holidays it will be complicated to be very very reactive, Do not hesitate to give me your schedule and everythings.

I write in English, don't hesitate to tell me if I'm making mistakes or something 💚

I RP on discord, #someonewarms (If you're scared or find it embarrassing, you can DM me on Instagram (SomeoneWarms) or just like this post, or just leave a comment? Dunno...I'm not old on Tumblr ahhah) and I'm ok for any scenario suggestion <3

(PS : safe place for queers, neuroA, etc, Don't be afraid I do not eat people, In any case not yet /j)

Example of drawings that I can make

Thank you for reading, even if it's not effective, it will have kept me busy ✨

Fun to ask questions:

1, 25, 40

1) three things that shaped you into who you are:

oh man this one is hard! i am a firm believer in "we are the sum of our experiences" so it is hard to whittle it down to just three... but in broad strokes: my relationship with my family, genetics (neurodivergence), and religion.

i'll expand on the last one a little cause i think it can be misleading. i grew up in a very religious household that was also very intolerant of the person I knew I was from a young age. i also was pushed to secure scholarships every year so that i could remain in a religious school. i want to say i was around 8 when i stopped believing in god? and because of that, a lot of the logical conclusions that people leaned on religion for made no sense to me. why am i being good for the end goal of personal gain? that doesn't make sense in the greater context of what religion postures itself to be about. and so i became obsessed with the idea of pursuing truly selfless acts - not doing it because it makes you feel good to help, or doing something because it will look good to god when you die, but because it genuinely is the right thing to do for another person even if it's at your own discomfort or disadvantage. and you can probably guess that this shaped a lot of my ideas about social justice from a very young age, and i have religion (or the conclusions i came to from rejecting religion) to thank for that.

25) fave season and why:

probably fall! corny and typical, i know, but it's a perfect time for me to do some of my favorite outdoorsy things like hiking and mushroom hunting and wildlife photography. plus, yknow. halloween. also i have a thing about candy apples. they're like a tide pod i'm allowed to eat, and that's just great.

40) any bad habits?

holy cow yeah, haha. really bad dermatillomania particularly on my fingers and arms. my fingertips especially, which I think is most common.

i also have gotten a lot better with this, but every now and then i have difficulty engaging with my interests in a healthy way. i know a lot of folks like to use hyperfixation to refer to "that thing i just found out about that I'm really into right now", but for me, it can be quite uncomfortable! when i *truly* hyperfixate on a thing or a task i am very often unable to to write about, think about, draw about, etc., anything else, and i find anything that isn't related to the hyperfixation to be an annoyance. i get withdrawn and irritable. and yes, this includes very basic self care like eating and sleeping. but i'm also properly medicated now, so this rarely happens anymore. now it's moreso like... "please give me space while I purposely disengage from reality for a little while!"

[crinklefish]

HELLO

Sorry for dropping off the face for the longest time, but I’m back miscellaneously :D more in the tags if you’d want to know why it’s not that special
