#the imperfect art of madness

[anonymousmink]

Do you have any personal favourite moments from ‘Holiday Crazies’ in particular? It always had me biting my fingernails in anticipation 😭 Lots of love!! ❤️

For me - and this is gonna sound messed up but it’s J/H so standard I guess - but yeah, for me it’s the night Harley gets her scar. Getting to write J experiencing actual emotions is always a treat and it’s such a pinnacle moment in their relationship. They’ve been in a kind of fluffy honey moon period after the break out and the scar scene was a chance to inject the reality of their relationship back into the story - it’s unbalanced, it’s unhealthy, but it’s quintessentially them.

(Also J stealing a Christmas tree from the high street from her, the night at Ozzy’s club, and any time I get to write Crane! 🥰)

Thanks so much for the ask! This really made my day!! (And made me realise again how much I miss these two *sob*)

i genuinely don't care how good a piece of ai generated art or writing looks on the surface. i don't care if it emulates brush strokes and metaphor in a way indistinguishable from those created by a person.

it is not the product of thoughtful creation. it offers no insights into the creator's life or viewpoint. it has no connection to a moment in time or a place or an attitude. it has no perspective. it has no value.

it's empty, it's hollow, and it exists only to generate clicks (and by extension, ad revenue.)

it's just another revolting symptom of the disease that is late stage capitalism, and it fucking sucks.

Something so I can have a new Icon and get back into drawing with a simpler style. It's getting a little cooler in my home, yippie!

We’ll rebirth. Second earth. I’m awakened. Their forsaken. Meant to be. Don't you see. I guarantee. Please believe me.

!SHADOWPEACH HEADCANNONS!

Exept it's easy to tell who my favorite is.

Pure silly addition! No angst here!

It's pride month yall so it's gay monkie time.

Showing his BF a new crayon color:

Wukong doesn't like thunderstorms. They scare the monkies and the unpredictably and sound make him uncomfortable. He's also not that big of a fan of water. Macaque doesn't mind storms, he doesn't like how loud they are but he's fine with them. Macaque uses his hearing to let Wukong know when thunder is coming so he can cover his ears.

Wukong hides most parts about him using glamors. He hides his eyes, his head scar, his height, and other things he sees as imperfections. Macaque would kill to see Wukong's features again cause he always loved those parts about him and he doesn't want Wukong to hide them.

Macaque just stays in Wukongs house. Like he just lives there and let's himself be know sometimes.

They have drawing sessions together.

Macaque HATES having his hair long. It's inconvenient, it gets stuck in his shadows, it makes him hotter because it warms his neck along with his scarf. If it gets even a INCH past his neck he has Wukong cut it immediately.

Wukong is a little spoon. Sometimes he's a big spoon but Macaque likes to hold him in his sleep so he just stays the little spoon.

They do that thing where one of them has one headphone in their ear and the other headphone is in the others ear. They love listening to music together.

They buy each other presents all the time. Wukong makes homemade presents with his art skills while Macaque steals from stores and malls to get Wukong expensive presents.

Macaque knows the basics of cooking and could make a decent meal but he pretends to be stupid so Wukong will make him his cooking.

Macaque has SO many pet names for Wukong while Wukong has like two. (Refrencing my art don't worry about that.)

Macaque loves the cold while Wukong can't STAND it.

Wukong is really good with kids and is a amazing babysitter. Macaque isn't bad with kids but when he tries to play with them he ends up scaring them.

If Macaque makes Wukong mad Wukong forces him to sleep on the couch.

Wukong hates scary movies because of the jump scares and the stupid decisions the characters make. Macaque LOVES scary movies but won't watch them if Wukong is in the room.

Macaque is super clingy and has at least one hand on Wukong at all times. It started as a nervous habit but then Macaque started doing it more when he started taking being Wukongs warrior seriously.

Their favorite shared food is fruit salad. They make them together alot.

Wukong has a walk in closet filled with clothes that he has either been gifted or he bought or made himself. Macaque owns like 4 shirts and 2 pairs of pants.

Macaque has a very dead tone so it sounds like he's being serious when he's joking. Wukong used to think Macaque didn't like him because he would say things in such a depressing tone it made Wukong think he was dead serious.

Macaque bought a blender specifically to make Wukong peach smoothies.

Wukong really likes to wear gold so Macaque will wear silver to match him.

Wukong has two pairs of moon earrings. A blue pair for Chang'e and a purple pair for Macaque.

Macaque hates his naturally white hair because he thinks it makes him look less scary. Wukong lives it cause it reminds him of clouds and snow.

Macaque loves when Wukong is blonde cause it means he's super happy.

Macaque has counted the freckles on Wukong's face so many time he can tell you the exact number he has.

Wukong steals Macaques scarf when it gets too cold out. He often forgets to give it back resulting in Macaque having tos each hours for it.

Wukong has A BUNCH of pillows and random covers. Macaque has to FIGHT to find a cheap space on their bed because of how many pillows and blankets their is.

Macaque loves grooming and running his hands through Wukongs hair cause he loves the cloud like texture.

Macaque doesn't like doing his makeup but if Wukong wants him to match with him he'll try his best to do it and make it look good.

Macaque intentionally makes himself look more unapproching and scary when he's out in public with Wukong so that people won't want to talk to him or Wukong.

They aren't legally married but Macaque gave Wukong a ring so long ago and he always wears it so he just calls Macaque his husband.

It is 1 am where I am and I should really stop defying sleep (I will be defying sleep).

Feel free to drop your SILLY headcannons cause I cannot be dealing with angst headcannons right now. Only sillyness.

thoughts on joker 2? i remember reading all your joker fics yearss ago now 😭 miss them so much.

Awww first and foremost thank you so much! I’ve actually been rereading them recently as I’m in a SUPER Jarley mood atm so this ask couldn’t have come at a better time lol! 🥹

Image description: [ a photo of the Psych Survivor zine in a bush of ivy. The cover is a collage made out of medical records, vintage flower drawings, and magazine letters spelling “psych survivor zine".]

Hello everyone! I am so thrilled to announce the launch of the psych survivor zine, now available to download on www.psychsurvivorarchive.com.

A little bit about this project:

The Psych Survivor Archive is an abolitionist organization deeply invested in mad liberation and cross-movement organizing.

We host two projects: the Psych Survivor Zine and the Digital Story Archive. The Psych Survivor Zine celebrates Mad art in volumes released twice a year, with thematic prompts for each edition. The Digital Story Archive is a more informal forum for psych survivors to write about our lives and share as much as we want, when we want, how we want. 

Through this archive, I hope to create a platform where psych survivors are believed and the psych system is held accountable for the ways it has harmed us. Our pain, resistance, knowledge, and grief are worth listening to, and I offer up this archive as a communal method of bearing witness. 

This space is for the imperfect crazy person, the noncompliant patient, those of us who trash our rooms in the psych ward and yell to ourselves on the street. This space is for our comrades still incarcerated in all kinds of institutions and prisons. This space is for anyone who has been harmed by the psychiatric system and wants to rage about it–and this space is for anyone who doesn’t have the words to talk about it. 

This space is for you.

You can download a pdf and an image described pdf for free on the website, or order a physical copy! This zine is incredible-featuring artwork by 13 different Mad artists, the 55 page zine includes collages, poems, harm reduction toolkits, and more!!

Artists include @kihnindewa, @bioethicists, @gothhabiba and @librarycards, among many more!

This project has been really vulnerable and cathartic with me, and I am so excited to share it with you. Feel free to explore the website, submit your story, and check out our resource guide.

I started this like a year ago..I figured I'd finally finish it for V-day!

Some of my headcannons n silly stuff like that, per usual...

Noiz × Aoba × Clear (relationship) ‪‪❤︎‬ ‪‪❤︎‬ ‪‪❤︎‬ ‪‬

Noiz gives Aoba ear piercings and Clear fake piercings

Aoba has Clears old scarf!

Clear likes Aoba's headphones and listens to music!

Clear wears glasses (specifically inspired by some official art sketches of him wth a pair on) But also thinking after good end after repairs, maybe his eyes be a lil messed up and can't focus --- I know he's still a robot, so they could just change his eyes but...I think he would like to feel more human even with imperfections, so glasses he gets :]

Feat. some nendo / misc pics as well ! - - - - - - - - -

Link to the shop I got the pins from!

Also some wip along the way of this year long drawing....sobbing If you can tell I REALLY wanted to try and capture the art style of the game somewhat for the faces at least LOL...but then gave up half way, but still will keep at it! ‪‪- - - - - - - - -

driving myself absolutely MAD with how many layers this was..also drawing Noiz whole outfit only to cover it mostly in the end...sobbing

Thank you for looking at my sillies And a happy (late) Valentines day! ❤︎‬ ‪‪❤︎‬ ‪‪❤︎

Ok, so let's list them, my babies which got cancelled cruelly and often without an explanation, with my random commentary:

The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself (Half Bad) (gif) - witchy, dark, gay, big potential for a natural polycule, excellent chemistry among the main three characters, I am so mad.

Castlevania - need I say anything?

Dead Boy Detectives (gif) - supernatural, horror, funny, gay ARE YOU FKING KIDDING ME YOU CAN'T JUST CANCEL IT WE ONLY JUST GOT IT

Dead End: Paranormal Park - a trans main character? Cute animation? Supernatural stuff? Hello???

Fate: The Winx Saga (gif) - so much fun, great acting, good soundtrack, good plot twists, childhood throwback, I want my Winx back.

First Kill - LESBIAN MAIN CHARACTERS in a classic trope of a monster (vampire) x monster (vampire) hunter forbidden love? The acting, at first, might not have been what I'd call great but I think it was more of the script's fault.

I Am Not Okay with This (gif) - dark, horror, teen, another lesbian main character, cute as hell, cancelled at the worst possible scene.

The Imperfects (gif) - a bit fucked up plot-wise, tbf, but all the more fun for it. Cool twists and abilities. And Rhys Nicholson as Dr. Alex Sarkov is hilarious. Also, a spin on an ace succubus. Lol.

Lockwood & Co. (gif) - the books were the slowest of slow burns and had the least reliable narrator of all time (Luce. I'm looking at you. Anthony Lockwood is also looking at you.) and the TV series chose the protagonists SO WELL 😭 I loved it. I want more. So much more.

Mindhunter - psychology of serial killers, this had SO MUCH potential for a tonne of more content.

Sense8 (gif) - different cultures, action, an evil old white man, explosions, martial arts, gayness, transness, LOVE CONQUERS ALL, BITCHES. Technically, it's finished, but it was rushed.

Shadow & Bone (gif) - wonderful fantasy! Try not to cry, cry a lot.

Spinning Out (gif) - actual believable representation of a mental/neurological illness (bipolar disorder) and stunning figure skating shots?! Cancelling it was a criminal offence

And just because I'm in the wailing part of my evening:

Stargate: Universe (gif) - why yes, cancel it at the biggest cliffhanger ever.

Our Flag Means Death - 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[bettysupremacy]

could you do one where the reader is getting her first tattoo and she’s really nervous but eddie is there to comfort her?

tysm for the request! I’ve got more on the way.

“Breathe in — breathe out. It’ll be finished soon.”

“Yeah?” Eddie asks.

The tattoo artist nods once. It’s a sharp, stern nod, but not unkind. They know each other, you think, he probably gets tattooed here.

The pointy needle is brought to your skin again, puncturing and abusing the tender flesh. It moves in neat swirly lines over you, permanently etching in ink. You can’t look, can’t think about the permanence of what’s happening to your hip. Your mom would be so mad.

“You’re okay, brave girl.” Eddie smiles down at you. You had to convince him you could do this. There would be no tears when the tattoo artist meanly brought down his pen.

“Hurts.” You all but whine.

“I know,” he soothes, “Did I tell you how I got this one?”

You look over, watching his hand lift his shirt and point to the scrappy looking skull scribbled on his hip.

The desire to reach out and run your fingers over it is strong, but the fear you’ll move and the artist will mess up is stronger. He can tell.

Gently, he grabs your fingers, running them over his tat. The ridges, the imperfections, the way it’s slightly raised. All prominent features, all telling you it’s a stick n poke.

“It’s a stick n poke I got in the eighth grade.”

You gasp. “Eighth grade?”

“Yeah,” he scoffs dramatically, fighting to cover his smile with mock disbelief. “Can you believe that?”

“No.” You say genuinely.

“Me neither.” He lightly sets your hand back on the sterile chair, the paper crinkles under your fingers. “Sam gave it to me.”

“Sam?”

“He’s giving you yours.”

You lifts your head. He pauses to wave. “Hi, Sam.”

He cracks a smile for the first time since you got here. “Hi.”

“We were in my kitchen, when he told me he wanted to be a tattoo-er-“

“Tattoo artist.” He corrects.

“-tattoo artist, and I told him he could practice on me.”

You glances at the skull again. “Did it hurt?”

“Are you kidding? It hurt the most out of all my tattoos.”

“Are you serious?”

“Deadly.”

“It didn’t hurt that bad.” Sam pipes into the conversation.

“It didn’t hurt that bad?” Eddie astonishes, looking up at Sam with wild wide eyes. “With how far you were sticking that needle into me-“

“It was only a little deep.”

“Your knuckles were touching my hip!”

“Don’t let him lie to you.” Sam eyes you.

“Believe your boyfriend.” Eddie replies quickly.

Your smile stutters when Sam moves over a particularly tender part of skin. The talking ebbs and you listens to the whir of the tattoo machine. This would be nice if it wasn’t awful.

“And..“ Sam draws outs. “All done.”

“What, really?”

“Mhm.“ he hands you a mirror.

“Oh, wow.” You marvel at the line work. Much cleaner than Eddie’s stick n poke.

“You like, baby?”

“I love.” You correct him. “Thank you.”

“I wasn’t the one with the gun.”

“Thank you, Sam.” Your fingers ghost above his art.

“No problem, kid.” He smiles.

Eddie smiles as well. “You want another?”

“No.”

[mads-is-tired]

as promised, better photos of 3D printer kirby!! (model by ChaosCoreTech on thingyverse)

the printer didn’t do a great job on the print quality, and my painting skills were lacking the day i painted this, but i’m mostly just ecstatic to have him :D
