First drawings of my current Tav, Grom Bonawentura (surname yet to be made up)

She's a white dragon born, Bard-Sorcerer and a Durge.

Hear me out what happened to choso sucks ASS but the entire point of jujutsu kaisen is how tragic it is. Yes it can become sadistic to just kill off your characters BUT to me this just reflects especially how "sacrifice" ≠ pays off. Just another unfortunate reflection of the inevitable tragedy that sorcery is

I don't know about y'all, but I sometimes prefer bad writing.

Now, I absolutely love poetic writing that hits your emotions and is so well written that you question your position in the world or perspectives you've previously had. That's great.

At the same time, fics with grammar errors and bad flow can be fun to read. It's like a bumpy ride, and the energy I spend consuming the material is different. I've read tons of amazing fics that misspell their words or have run-on sentences. I'm just thankful they posted the fic for free

anyways. jack risked life limb and career for will and will continue to risk it because he trusts and loves will so much.

I think it's normal to think other people are weird or unusual, it's just not ok to treat them any differently. It's not about what you think, it's about how you act

8, 33 and 35 for palewatcher

8. What do they love most about the other? Why?

-Not to be cheesy but for both there's a strong element of 'you are the only person who sees me as myself and the only person who makes me feel grounded in this reality'. For my version of Lurien, at least, this is because he grew up very much a ghost living on the fringes of society- he's an immigrant's son who was hatched in Hallownest, never truely knowing his home culture and never fully fitting into the society built by the beetle tribe in what was to become the City of Tears. He was an awkward and lonely quiet child who grew up on tales of huge families and kinship in an empty house, in a society that did not offer any of those comforts to him, and shied away from those who offered it as a result- which was rare, because he was odd, he didn't fit in, and his lack of knowledge about his heritage quickly made him quite boring. He essentially spent his whole life up to meeting the Pale King either in the shadows or in the minds of estranged scholars as he ravenously devoured the scrolls and tablets his mentors mentioned in passing in the lecture halls he attended to, and then he met PK, and it was like a total transformation. NOTHING about what made him 'other' was a distinguishing feature to the Pale King. Only himself. Only his mind, his skill, his art, all the best parts of himself- and becoming Watcher moved him to a position where he was then capable of discussing things with collegues who were often just as odd as he was, such as Monomon and Isma. PK's monochromatic view of 'all mortal bugs are the same to me unless they make themselves stand out through the sharpness of their mind' put Lurien on equal grounds for the first time in his life, and that gave him the confidence to take the initiative to grow closer to PK, where actual love for the individual developed.

For PK, however, that grounding is much more literal. PK is a god who put himself into the mortal realm so that he could study them better, because he was fascinated by a life that he was inherently an outsider to. He is an individual (and even that is debated, since he gave his soul to the White Lady), but at the same time, he can never be a person like Lurien is, and juggling that duality is extremely difficult. Lurien, however, not only sees both aspects of his nature, he also understands them (and he also understands that he will never fully understand), and works with him accordingly. He's his tether point to the world of mortals, the lens through which he sees it- his 'humanity', essentially, if such an allegory can be applied here. He's the...bug version of his humanity?? Idk

33. How do they flirt? Who’s the worse flirt?

-Both of them are terrible flirts because both of them are extremely fucking subtle about their flirting and neither of them bother to think of themselves over politics lmfaooo. Lurien staunchly refrained from flirting specifically bc he didn't want his emotions to jeopardize the fate of the City or a relationship he was (mostly) comfortable keeping platonic whereas PK was too busy worrying about the future and trying to Be The Perfect King Who Never Feels to. Well. Realize what Lurien meant to him. And then when he did, his chosen method of flirting was to basically just up the sugar daddy game he was already doing for Lurien to begin with, so Lurien didnt know what to think of it other than 'my king you really should not be doing this, what, this is far above your station and you know it' sjcjdhs

Which is a long way to say that both of them flirt via blood-oaths to their mutual passions and by offering servitude to each other and they're both happy to keep it that way. They're both incredibly reserved individuals, flirting is stuff like Lurien going to a work meeting in PK's stead when PK is too deep in a project to understand linear time, or PK offering to groom Lurien's wings after a stressful day despite wyrms not really doing the allopreening thing much. Stuff like that

35. Is their relationship a secret? If so, why?

-YEAH their relationship would be a secret for a while. Not really bc PK cared- he really, genuinely does not- but bc Lurien himself is an extremely private individual who holds a lot of anxiety around people's expectations and breaking social rules, even if he's technically above all of them as the literal most high ranking bug in the kingdom under both the actual gods of the place. This works for PK, because the beetle tribe is socially very monogamous so other bugs learning about their relationship would result in lots of gossip and questions he'd consider a headache to deal with, but Lurien would rather nobody but those in the 'inner circle' (Lucien, the Dreamers, Dryya bc she's the White Lady's favored mortal/mortal mate so she Gets It) to know about his love life, so that's how it is. Plus, even if he'd never act on his compulsions unless a god other than WL tried to touch Lurien, PK is territorial, so. It works out for them both djcjfjsj

finally found a better way to word my issues with art improvement and thats that obviously art with no ref is/can be a little incorrect and misguided, there are Mistakes when you're just going off of memory.

But when i do studies my art becomes too Rigid because my brain remembers the studies and yells at me if i dont proportion things "correctly" (+ also ends up Bad due to overworking to "Fix" it)...

Its hawrd to find that balance, + have it be the Loose and Fun art that comes before reminding self what something is "supposed to look like". I feel my stuff only exists between extreme ends of sloppy and rigid bc i cant find the balance

Ive seen a few very old drawings from before I started using refs more often and they almost look Better. They dont look 100% Right but they look Good. Now I overwork everything bc it doesnt look Right and it still ends up not looking Right or Good.

[wabblebees]

just finished the new fantasy high episode and havent seen anyone talk abt this so i wanted to say i am 100. one HUNDRED PERCENT sure. that fuckin fourdogs was at that party invisibly (the One And Only buttfucker to NOT make an obvious appearance?? rules-follower or no, i dont believe that for a SECOND) and that she stole the piece of the cloud runner that went missing, and that the moment of her swipe was the "something" riz missed on his check -- i also really *hope* it wasn't oisin that made those damn ice mephits (or "muffets" as my beloved drunk adaine christened them lmao) act up like that, but immmmm pretty sure thats exactly what was goin on since it wouldve given his party member advantage/an easier access point :/

how are you supposed to react to the realisation that your parent is like actually abusive

[doodlebloo]

Do you guys ever think about how (as far as we know) c!Tubbo arguably made the right choice by deciding to never open up to c!Ranboo... Because c!Ranboo (when Enderwalking) retains all his memories and works alongside c!Dream anyway. So although c!Tubbo doesn't know it, his paranoia is actually keeping him safe, because the less info c!Ranboo knows the less he has the ability to tell c!Dream... Not that c!Ranboo necessarily would, but it sucks that like... c!Tubbo probably beats himself up for not wanting to share anything with his sweet and loyal husband, not even knowing that sharing the wrong stray detail about c!Tommy could have caused something disastrous. Like c!Tubbo was right to be a closed book and that shit hurts to think about!!!

oh my god, could you elaborate on how lila would be adrien’s foil? i’ve been rotating that idea inside a microwave for the past few minutes

i'm not sure if i've ever talked about it on this blog but i am actually quite obsessed with lila and adrien paralleling each other so thank you for the ask anyways!!!

first off, i have to make a disclaimer... idk what they're intending to do with lila in season 5. i'm just going off of season 4 and before. they might take lilas character an entirely different direction than how i've read her so far. god bless!

i think lila and adrien are interesting as foils because they are both parallels and inverses of each other. adrien and lila are both the new students who are trying to make new friends, and both of them kind of fail at this at the beginning. adrien with the gum, and lila with being exposed by ladybug. adrien even points out in chameleon that they're not that different and he understands where she's coming from! the difference is that lila keeps grudges in a way adrien doesn't.

i also think lila and adrien are also just... natural liars in a way marinette isn't. (marinette having to come up with a whole scheme to disprove her identity compared to adrien just coming up with a casual lie about "oh is that an elementary school" in the kwamibuster ep comes to mind. also adrien having a whole ep called lies lol.) adrien has to lie often because it's a way of survival in his house, and lila lies in order to maintain her social status. they both put up "masks" for social acceptance. i don't really think adrien is exactly faking, but i don't think he's really able to be his genuine self often. he's good at compartmentalizing. lila does straight up lie because she doesn't believe that her genuine self can achieve what lying does.

but then they are also inverses... adrien has never been anywhere but his home and has an overbearing father, as well as the fact he's famous with a modeling job he doesn't want... meanwhile it seems like with lila's diplomat mother, she's moved a lot and her mom seems pretty distant. lila wants to model! she wants to be famous! in this way, they want what the other has.

i think it'd be interesting to have a lila-adrien rivalry similar to the chloe-marinette rivalry. especially since lila starts to model with adrien, so they actually have time together isolated from everyone else, so that gives opportunities for interactions and plotlines outside of just school and with the class. i think they bring out interesting aspects of each other's character that no one else really does? adrien straight up threatens lila in the ladybug ep, i'd love to see them doing backhanded shit like that more often. alas...
