#violence mention

[prokopetz]

Pseudo-metroidvania where you play as an only-nominally-sapient little slime creature who found the corpse of a badass deep space bounty hunter and stole their power armour. The central gimmick is that you start with what is effectively an endgame loadout, but the upgrade descriptions are all incomprehensible gibberish (because, you know, you can't read), and they're all activated by awkward and counterintuitive input sequences – imagine some of the more baroque fighting game inputs as a point of reference – which the player is unlikely to stumble upon by chance. The "upgrade progression", such as it is, consists simply of gradually revealing to the player the tools they already possess and how to activate them.

tired of everyone on here reducing icepick joe down to haha funny stabby man

like i DO like the jokes and memes, don't get me wrong, but like

there's SO MUCH to his character and he really does tie into goncharov's main themes

like. we're told early on the he was put into a mental institution as a young man due to his breakdown and inconsolable grief at losing his older brother giorno (who was his only living family and basically a father figure to him!)

wherein he was mistreated and was HEAVILY IMPLIED to be scheduled for a lobotomy before he escaped. (in fact, some interpretations say he actually received and survived the lobotomy, citing his manner of speaking and his lack of impulse control. but that's a whole separate discussion because i can honestly see both sides)

and then he turns to a life of crime because that's basically the only option he had left, after being deprived of so many opportunities in his youth (and the fear of being caught and involuntarily institutionalized again)

and him eventually leaning into the role of "violent madman" that the world thrust onto him for showing signs of mental illness in a way that was nonviolent, but was loud and inconvenient and impossible for those around him to simply push away.

and him taking his rage out at the same world that not only killed his brother but forced him to undergo years of psychiatric abuse and basically dehumanization

(like seriously, how do SO MANY people miss the connection between him using an icepick as a weapon and the concept of an ICEPICK lobotomy)

which. yknow. ties heavily into the film's theme of people being pushed to society's margins and forced into a life of crime, instead of given the help they desperately needed

and then like.

his fucking death scene. he tries to put a stop to the cycle of senseless violence, taking the fall for andrey, telling michailov that *he* was the one who killed luciana

him kneeling down and allowing michailov to bash him through the skull with his very own icepick. it's more lobotomy symbolism; dying from the very thing he spent his whole life running from. further driving home the film's themes of repeating cycles and futility

and then, to drive it all home, that sacrifice didn't even end up stopping the cycle of violence! because andrey viewed joe as basically an older brother (mirroring joe and giorno) and tried to get revenge on michailov for killing joe.

like. come on.

Hey who wants a small WIP for my cryptid batfam story

🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇

   Bruce nodded, giving them a small smile. “Good job,” he encouraged, as the many, many parenting books had said to do. Repeatedly. “And what do you think we should do?” 

   Barbara- sorry, Batgirl- was the first to pipe up, though both practically vibrated in glee, their little wings flapping as they moved. “Take them out from above! Not let them sound the alarm, and, and, um…” 

   “I hit them from behind and Batgirl can hit them from the front! And we won’t break a lung this time!” Dick chirped, bouncing slightly. Ah. Yeah, the first few times they had gone after the same person they’d managed to do more than crack a few of the person’s ribs, which, yeah. Not a good thing. 

   Not to mention the fact that one of the first lessons he had to teach them was how to properly hide a body, or at least hide how you might be the reason behind the death. Because small children diving at someone at thirty-to-eighty miles per hour (forty-eight to one-hundred and twenty-nine kilometers per hour, he mentally translated from habit) had a habit of collapsing a lung, crushing a liver, or just snapping a neck depending on where they hit. 

   Ugh, there were no parenting books to help with things like that. 

   “Anything else?” he hummed, keeping an eye down at the gang bustling around, a few guns waving around as they turned a few flashlights towards any shadow. Not complete idiots then, but still forgetting to so much as look up. Amateurs. 

   “Let one escape so they can lead us to where they’re storing stuff if it’s not in this warehouse?” 

   “Make sure not to give one a heart attack?” 

   “Oh! Oh! Make sure not to give you a heart attack!”

Living weapon/guard dog who doesn't really hate their job. Sure, they are not passionate about it either but it is more like... a chore. It's a little messy, but it's not like it makes them feel bad. Besided, they get rewarded after or punished if they do it wrong so it's fine, really.

Until caretaker goes along. Caretaker doesn't want whumpee to kill people because caretaker really cares about People in General. Whumpee really likes caretaker so they do their best to avoid killing until...

well. i suppose something bad happens

is this ok for anti-endos to interact? /genq

No. Anti-endos have repeatedly told me they want me dead. Some of them have gone so far as to threaten to maim and/or kill me themselves. I have received everything from petty insults to threats of violence to pictures of gore and literal shit in my DMs from anti-endos. And aside from that, anti-endos are hateful exclusionists who are against a group of people minding their own business and not harming them in any way just for an innate characteristic that they have, and their ways often harm other systems that they supposedly "accept". They are practically indistinguishable from all the other bigots I've had to interact with (not by my choice) on this site. I do not want them here. They can go be hateful in their own corner of the internet – they have plenty of copycat versions of this blog that will accept them.

There is slight dark themes in this comic! There is no Nsfw, and nothing is shown, there’s nothing graphic done or said, but the “comic” itself is about the lead up to a non consensual act. You could look at this as both dub con or non con, either way, if those themes upset you, I wouldn’t read this! Thank you! - Implied touching, Carnival is way too chipper given the circumstances, examination stuff, reader is referred to as “patient”, light violence mention, POV, scopophobia:

Going to start drawing photorealistic Necrons who all have the exact face of Grim from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and see how long it takes for someone to murder me in cold blood.

Day 1 of Repostober, redrawing an oldie but one of my favs]

Taking a majority of my art off tumblr for now. Fuck AI

I still kinda hate how stiff the poses look but eh I've definitely improved imo! Tryna focus on that. Also yes. Yes I did forget the gold trim on his ruffle collar thingy again. And yes I'm just now noticing the words are hard to read in the last image but shhhhh

Whenever I think about the current fan theory that Rei will kill his father, thus choosing his found family over his blood one, I just think back on these words his father told him:

Kill or be killed.

That was how Rei was brought up. That was the mentality his father put into him (we even see Rei reflect this a teeny, tiny bit in a far less intense way, when he asks whether Miri won the supposed fight or not in Episode 6). That was how Rei was brought up to resolve conflict and that is the way his father understands resolving conflict (such as killing the supposed traitor).

So, it would make sense that Rei would resolve his conflict with his father in this way, on his father’s own terms. Like, if that phrase of his father’s isn’t the biggest bit of potential foreshadowing - I’ll eat my hat (though, honestly, I don’t really have any hats anymore, lol).

first day of @tendaysoftenzo !! the prompt is:

Day 1, November 1st: Tenz-O-Ween (Holidays) | Supernatural 

I went with Yamato telling a (immersive) ghost story! this has been a fragment of an idea in my head for a while and this prompt gave me the shove i needed to actually put pencil to paper.

obviously as it is right now it's unfinished, the tree still needs to be drawn in a lot more detail w/ more human bones around it, and the whole thing is in pencils—when it IS done, i intend for it to be a linework-heavy black and white piece, but that won't be for a little while 'cause we've got 9 more days of tenzō to go!!!

the entity that yamato is talking about is somewhat-loosely based on the Jubokko (樹木子, "tree child") which as far as I'm aware is a fictional yōkai created by Shigeru Mizuki.

[write-it-motherfuckers]

Person A: “Holy shit! I barely even finished telling you about the shapeshifter before you turned around and shot (Person B)! How did you figure it out so quickly?!”

Person C: “I didn’t. They’ve just been pissing me off all morning and you provided an excellent excuse... The fact that they actually are the intruder is genuinely a coincidence.”

There is no reason to join the US military. If you need to pay for college then just spend your first two years at a community college and then transfer to a state school. Get a job. Apply for scholarships. Do anything other than kill for US empire.
