Curly getting prosthetics, Anya getting an abortion, Swansea killing Jimmy, Daisuke never getting onto the Tulpar, et cetera

But what if the real fix-it could have been better workplace ethics, so that none of this shit would have happen?

#mouthwashing #jimmy mouthwashing #curly mouthwashing #anya mouthwashing #captain curly #fix it scenario #Me about Jimmy: I can heal it. It can be healed rather than killed. Step aside both of you.#obviously this is before he did all the awful shit #can you tell i got lazy and traced stock photos for the two last images

Odysseus: demanding Athena take off whatever enchantment she put on him the second the situation ends.

Odysseus: who constantly reminds Athena that he has great plans to grow old and die with his wife so don't even think about getting any ideas.

Odysseus: side eye diomedes who has started fucking glowing he has so many enchantments on him: bro you should talk to Athena about getting those removed. You're going to end up immortal or some shit

Diomedes: who has been a solider since he was 5 who has intersting thoughts about his own personhood who has a much more traditional relationship with Athena and would rather literally stab his own eye out with a rusted sword than speak out of turn: I don't know what you're talking about

#odysseus #Diomedes #Athena #This is more pulling from my own headcanons than any source material #But I have a lot of feelings about the narritive physically changing a character and how well that works with the idea that #Becoming immortal is a slow process more of a slide than an abrupt change #And I have a lot of feelings about diomedes becoming immortal and how odysseus only ever wanted to be a man #And how diomedes was having a much more mortal experience and odysseus experiencing so much magic and monsters and gods #And how every step of the way diomedes only ever politely thanks Athena never argues only does his duty #And how nearly everything odysseus met tried to change him or keep him and how he fought against that with his whole being #Also a lot of feelings about the traditional reward for heros was immortality #This obviously does not include all the times Athena treated odysseus like a barbie doll because ody was 98% not aware of that #Athena post the whole ajax going insane thing: that was fun #Odysseus: great yah super fucking fun love when my allies go mad with desires to torture me to death BTW #Take off the invisibility spell I want nobody trace of it lingering on me I am remaining mortal if it kills me #Athena: definitely not pouting you're no fun one little spell isn't going to permanently alter you #Odysseus: I am not taking any chances any invisibility I have is going to be my own fucking skill and your excellent training not magic #Diomedes: internally:after getting the ability to see through illusions and see gods #Should I mention this to Pallas Athena? Did she mean for me to keep it? Is it bad if I keep using it?#Is it even more disrespectful to not use it? Surely she is aware that I still have this? Surely it would be an insult to her intelligence #To remind her that would be casting doubt on her memory and perhaps it is part of a plan and #Who am I to question pallas athenas plans who am I but her devout weapon better to not mention it or any of the other lingering magics #Diomedes realizing a hundred years after the fact that he is in fact immortal: ....should I mention this?#Athena finds it funny to try to sneak magic onto odysseus it's a game for them because their both rat bastards #But not post odyssey it's just triggering then #Actual child solider diomedes #Greek myths

#im starting to fully commit to switching over to clip studio paint so making a ref on it was as good of a first step as any #before anyone asks cyntail is not a thing in this au which is why her tail colors are swapped. cyn is. somewhere else. its fine dw about it #also full transparency i DID trace over a screenshot of the railgun. i mostly wanted to get the colors down for it as a start #if i cant figure out a way to import a model of it into csp (which i know you CAN do im just. very new to csp lol) ill try to simplify it #murder drones #murder drones fanart #gloom.art #uzi doorman #uzi murder drones #murder drones uzi #uzi md

Stop saying Skirk is a mom, she's obviously Eastern European dad coded

#skirk #childe #tartaglia #tbh she's just a shifu #and I'm delighted to see such a well-written master-student relationship #it's much more fun than found family if you ask me #he'll trace her steps and understand the same things that she did #in due time #what can be cooler than that

when i was little (10) i traced one of your artworks but i never showed it to anyone or did anything with it. i just. kinda stared at it for a while but. i believe i need to atone for my sins. sorry.

you don't need to apologize for that...!! tracing is a regular part of having fun and learning to draw (especially. when you're 10 YEARS OLD), as long as you're not claiming it's your work and/or sharing it without permission from the original artist.

(also... 10?? thanks for sticking around. or finding me later...?? i hope it wasn't one of my more deranged draws. lol)

#ASK EVER #tracing is a vital step in the learn how to draw anything shrimp school #but to reiterate please be so sure to check with an artist before you share anything publicly lmao #but at 10 years old thats just. kids who like drawing lmao i copied many a picture of pokemon and sailor moons to tape them to my notebooks

it's extremely humiliating how often you'll be writing a story about [x] & get incredibly stuck

so then you take a two week-break to clear your head & then you read it again

and the answer is: "you tried to write about [x] but that's not what the story is about. it's obviously about [y]. have you tried writing [y] but, y'know, on purpose this time"

#i wasted SO much fucking time outlining and diagraming and re-tracing steps #and yeah no of course answer is stupid bullshit like this #anyway. goodbye smoldering weird unbalanced romance #goodbye half-assedly trying to retain the structure of the weird unbalanced romance.#and HELLO to the mortifying ordeal of: freshman year of college (basically) (metaphorically) (etc)

king of the ashes

#the rules for this one were:#1. not allowed to trace a screenshot (I did make a very funny stickman with rough proportion guidelines tho)#2. get weird with it #3. step away from the fucking smudge tool #and I think Im reasonably happy with the result #anyways this is why Ive been so fixated on owen carvour fire motifs lately #incapable of being normal about him #also shoutout to Hyl because I listened to dust and ashes on repeat while making this #spies are forever #tin can bros #owen carvour #smy art #fire tw #burn tw #injury tw

Hi!! I love this series so much, and as someone who hasn’t really drawn since they were a kid but wants to start as a hobby, do you have any advice for sort of learning to doodle on paper and get better at it? I want to start but I don’t really know how/where

The most important step in getting better at any skill is Persistence and Consistency. Practice and keep practicing! The best way to do that is to keep it fun! Picking a project helps generate ideas (e.g. drawing Pokémon, or characters from a series you like). There are also a ton of monthly prompt lists out there!

I also highly recommend scheduling in a 'drawing/practice' time in your day. For me, I started with 30-60 min before bed (bonus: its a good 'no screentime' activity), and the habit took root there.

There are a lot of 'technical' things to study but find the fun first. At a certain point you will discover you've hit a wall, and have a specific aspect/goal you want to target (colour theory, anatomy, lighting, comic layout). Then it's time to go looking for resources.

Once you have the habit and some goals, go collect some inspiration! Find people who inspire you and study their work!

Another little 'art skill builder' I recommend is the Shrimp Method! Only if you find technical challenges like this fun though (Example of one of my studies below)

#art faqs #TL;DR: Step 1 is 'Just start drawing'. Step 2 is 'Keep on drawing'. Step 3 is 'Hit a wall and start studying only as much as you want'#Step 4: keep it fun and keep drawing.#I think this is where artists who start young have the advantage over adult learners #because adults try to tackle art at the technical point first!#AND THAT JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE!!#When I got into piano & string instruments I started by just doodling around. Banging out the tunes and experimenting.#The low pressure made it fun! I started lessons because I wanted to learn more!#I personally own quite a few art textbooks! Some are workbook/prompt-based (to help me get started)#and some are actual textbooks! But I certainly didn't start by reading a textbook.#I *highly* recommend Scott McCloud's 'understanding comics' for anyone trying to get into comics #its also a comic in of itself so its a fun read! It breaks down a lot of the key aspects of what's in a comic.#And tbh you don"t HAVE to trace for the shrimp method to work. Just take the time to do a study of a subject!#Good luck on your art journey! B*)

Twice in a row getting hit with the batman special 'oh no Jason killed someone' when it's in a gunfight defending Robin.

Ah yes, the unforgivable sin of killing in self defense and defense of others.

And like, I love both of them actually, and unironically want more of this exact trope just to laugh about batman mytho's fucked up principal.

Plus, imagining the court process of red hood's case gives me joy. Imagine the bat actually turning him in and Jason does gets whatever severe sentence for the myriad of murder manslaughter and other crime under Red Hood's name. Then it gets to the last case that led to the bat turning him in, and. Nope that one is act of defense.

Imagine that.

#like what the fresh fuck do you mean #it's so absurd. don't ever stop #jason todd #actually on this topic #how many of hood's murder can be actually traced to Jason Peter Todd-Wayne? like how would that even work?#is that a two step process #proving that red hood is this man standing in court #then proving this man is the supposedly dead son of Bruce Wayne?#interesting things to think about
