A cool girl on her cool smoke break COMPLIMENTED me for DANCING last night. If you even care
#show up early sort of help dance a lot leave when the cool people start showing their cool faces. I had a vrchat time#there was a cat furry in a ‘don’t bully me I’ll cum’ shirt and a person in a smooth black with staring LED ring robot visor#which is close ENOUGH to a protogen; and a goth a REAL DANCING GOTH dancing like we were all under an OVERPASS#and I think I was possibly the one having the finest time#People need to understand. If you are dancing. You are winning. AND you don’t have to talk to people#Which I also did some of v_v truly… just like vrchat…#I told people I was usually a weird centaur creature instead of being clocked immediately which was a charming change#usually my being weirdly normal is what comes as a surprise#next time I will be an adult and accept the cigarette when passing the cool smokers. Always here to provide entertainment#when the context is right#text post

The dichotomy of Brennan helping with ability score rolls for newer players:
Titan Takedown: Preps high-level base stats for the cast, with everyone having a 20 in their two most relevant ability scores and no one really having a genuine dump stat (no one's character has below a 14/+2 modifier in any ability), which allows the players to play to their class strengths and not have to worry about fucking up as much in a shorter, tighter campaign.
Fantasy High: Ally Beardsley rolls a 4 for Kristen's Dex and has to live with with the consequences of that for 6+ years
#Dimension 20#D20#Fantasy High#Titan Takedown#Just thinking about how funny it is when you look at it from the broadest possible angle#I know it's easier to have prepared high-octane PCs to make it easy for people who've never played#But without that context Brennan seeing Ally roll a -3 modifer and being like 'oh this is going to be hilarious' kills me#Ally: 'I got a low number for my dexterity but that won't matter right?'#Brennan: >:)#Seta speaks#Side note I can't remember if they rolled a 5 and dropped it to a 4 or rolled a 4 outright so disclaimer that that number might be off#top posts#EDIT: Man I've been here for like 4 months and the D20 fandom already got a post of mine to 1k this is awesome lmao

i love being late to trends. my new years resolution is to be late to every trend ever. and you know im serious because im even late to new years.
(theres an inverse version of this by @chamiryokuroi , you should go check it out! i started making this before i saw theirs, but i think its cool that now theres both versions)
#art#fanart#digital art#dc comics#bernard dowd#timber#timbern#tim drake#tim drake fanart#bernard dowd fanart#red robin#red robin fanart#dc fanart#i dont usually do more graphic styles like this so it was a fun challenge#theres so many little parts to the original that i had to notice and include#i didnt wanna download or make my own heart and star stamps just to use them maybe 6 times each so those are all hand drawn#i adjusted the colors of the heart outlines like 6 times before i was satisfied#also the fact that bernard has a red jacket and pink shirt in this changes the color profile completely so i had to change some things about#-the OG colors so it fit in well#but im happy to report that i didnt use any major blend mode layers over everything at the end to get the colors to mesh well#which is a thing ive been doing for a long time but isnt very conducive to actually learning color theory#also also i spent like a full 45 minutes trying to get the text to look right#bc i dint have whatever font that is so i had to improvise with the fonts i did have and a little bit of editing#and then i had to duplicate it for the shadow and outline it and everything#it was pretty fun tho#seeing the end product was especially satisfying#i havent read ‘go for it nakamura!’ but i assume from context clues the little squid things on the cover are-#-calling him a simp/being supportive wingmen so i replaced them with steph and dick#who i imagine are watching bernard and tim’s relationship like a soapy romcom#and occasionally heckling them (affectionately!) when theyre being lovey-dovey

"equal ground" a blu engiespy comic
CWs: graphic descriptions (not illustrations!) of violence/torture, illustrations of blood, bruises, fresh stitches. for the first one, please refer to this clip from poker night at the inventory if you need a preview.
thank you for reading
#my art#team fortress 2#tf2 comic#tf2 spy#tf2 engineer#engiespy#napoleon complex#practical espionage#finally Finally the comic i've been hyping (?) up is finished and here for you to read#there were a lot of swirling ideas wrapped up into what is overall this comic that i spent a long time trying to get just right#and hopefully i did. idk you tell me#also the title is the one i said before was just a working title but honestly? by the end i couldn't think of anything else to call it#i think i do want to talk more about this comic later on though. i tried to make the context as clear as possible through the dialogue but#i never know with my own writing. especially when i've done 10-plus drafts of the script#all in all i put a lot of my time and work into this and all i can hope for is that somebody likes it. thank yew#EDIT: this is best viewed on a larger screen like a computer/tablet! it looks bad on my phone! just something to keep in mind!#cj's blu team

Felt i needed to explain some characteristics of a very common character found in an admittedly narrow (ha) corridor of the known world
#killie#VERY TANGENTIALLY#killie and charlie#AGAIN TANGENTIALLY#but tbf. no context needed. lick this man and you can localise him.#start in bristol. turn right. walk towards london on the towpath. you'll find him.#you can detect his grad school advisors from this i hope.#mash together geologist and boatie as two concepts and you shouk#should instantly have a mental picture of his favourite rocks.#at all times he has kendal mint cake and three bruises. he has named every duck on the avon and is not allowed in the tesco at Hungerford#you already know this guy. he's barely even an oc. just a name for an existing phenomenon.#janky bicycle. showered at your place once when he got iced in and ran out of water. is therefore your sworn friend for life.#has a chain saw thats a literal. a literal chain saw. a chain that bunches up in hisnpocket#for stealing pieces of unwanted tree that nobody else is looking at in that precise moment. i can keep going endlessly with all this#evidence of utter normality#invited you round for vegan burns night. haggis caught fire and he threw it out the window with a splash#problem solved#especially since most of the problem was the vegan haggis.#throwing it out the hatch on the splashy side instead of the towpath side was inspired#eat porridge instead#great evening. very memorable. in the morning the ducks having discovered the haggis in disgust contrive to dislodge the gangplank#and ken is like.its sad that their lives are so high-conflict. and he ju#jumps magnificently onto the bank to get it back and gets 3 new bruises and nettle rash.#Charlie and Ken(dal Mint Cake)

For a moment Rand was silent as well, looking around at the faces turned to him. At last he said, “I hope to return, but who can say what will happen? The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills.” He hesitated, with every eye on him. “But I will leave you something to remember me by,” he added, sticking a hand in his coat pocket.
Abruptly a fountain near the Roof burst to life, water gushing from the mouths of incongruous porpoises standing on their tails. Beyond that, a statue of a young man with a horn raised to the sky suddenly was putting up a spreading fan, and then two stone women farther on were casting sprays of water from their hands. In stunned stillness the Aiel watched as all the fountains of Rhuidean flowed once more.
“I should have done that long since.” Rand’s mutter was no doubt meant for himself, but in the hush, Egwene could hear him quite clearly. The splash of hundreds of fountains was the only other sound. Natael shrugged as if he had expected no less.
It was at Rand that Egwene stared, not the fountains. A man who could channel. Rand. He’s still Rand, despite everything. But each time she saw him do it was like learning that he could all over again. Growing up, she had been taught that only the Dark One was more to be feared than a man who could channel. Maybe Aviendha’s right to be afraid of him.
But when she looked down at Aviendha, open wonder shone on her face; so much water delighted the Aiel woman as the finest silk dress might have Egwene, or a garden full of flowers.
– Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven
#wotedit#wot#wot on prime#the wheel of time#rand al'thor#egwene al'vere#aviendha#avirand#something something giving someone a chance to love all of you......................#okay the final product may not have turned out as strongly avirand-themed as my original idea#which was to gif only rand channeling rain + avi's reaction captioned with the quote of her book reaction#but then when i saw the full quote in context and realized that it ALSO has#the same contrast between avi's & egwene's reactions that we see in this moment in the show#i had to expand the gifset to include that!#(not a knock on egwene ofc it's simply that she isn't the right partner for rand since she loves the shepherd but can't accept the dragon#whereas other people who didn't meet rand until he was already both will perhaps have an easier time accepting both)#egwene and even moiraine think Rand Channeling Is Bad Always with a moiraine addon of But Must Be Done Sometimes#but avi's reaction here seems to indicate that she thinks Rand Channeling Can Bring Good Things Too#creation & destruction wrapped together and balanced just like the aiel prophecies say#whereas the wetland prophecies frame it as all one or all the other#wot show spoilers#mine

"Well, this is a bad idea," Tim says, hands on his hips as he surveys the mess they’ve made in the cave.
"Nah," Danny replies, twirling his screwdriver in the air in what is probably meant to be an impressive trick to inspire confidence, except he fumbles it and it clangs to the floor loudly, "we good. If a younger version of myself hasn't come forward in time to stop me, how bad can it be?"
"Shouldn't it be the other way round?"
"What?"
"Normally, it's an older version of yourself going backwards in time to stop you, right?"
"Not in my experience."
Danny's grin is impossibly feral and a shiver runs up Tim's spine.
"This is definitely a bad idea."
#dpxdc#dcxdp#batpham#dead tired#dead tired ship#there is a more expanded upon version of this with actual backstory and context rotting in the recesses of my brain#but its only half on paper and the conversation made me laugh so#here: have some feral danny leading tim down a path to disaster#danny: this is going to go so well! i have such a good feeling about this!!#tim: this is going to go so poorly. i have such a bad feeling about this.#danny: 🥺🙏🙏🙏#tim: i never said we weren’t doing it. i just reserve the right to tell you i told you so when it inevitably goes wrong#danny: leave that to younger me - he always makes very valid points in the form of fists to the face!#tim: can you stop talking please this is making me want to do it less#danny: no.

huge fan of lucanis’ “if i could... i want... forgive me. i’m not certain what i wish to say” line if you go see him after the almost kiss because it sounds SO stilted that he has one hundred percent been drafting this sentence in his mind for hours. and yet this is all he achieves. mind boggling
#veilguard spoilers#i always think about this line in my concept for ‘rook and lucanis have to share a room most of the game so he can sleep’#i think it would be REALLY good said after awkwardly silently getting ready for the night#just after the lights go out so he doesn’t have to look at rook when he says it#and they leave the response so long (if they respond at all) that he’s not even sure they were awake to hear it#THAT i think is the ideal context for this one#oh maybe they pretend to be asleep but he’s an assassin he can hear from their breathing that they’re not#but how could he call them out. what right would he have. so theyre just lying there. both awake. and yearning. like idiots

A post dump of Connverse sketches n doodles that are either scrapped idea, commission pose option that wasn't chosen, or little doodles in between commissions, that I'm not sure what to do about. Might finish it, might never will. haha
#This pie I'm eating right now tastes weird and I'm not sure if that's just how it tastes or if it's gone bad. But I guess I'll know when my#bowels'll whether be upset or not later.#connverse#Connie Maheswaran#Steven Quartz Universe#Steven Universe#my shiz#skedoobles#doodle dump#Context for second to the last one is basically Steven sleepwalking.#In Filipino we call hickey 'chikinini' and I like saying chikinini more.

there’s such an attitude among ex-christian atheists that religions just spring up out of the void with no cultural context behind them. like ive heard people say shit like “those (((zionists))) think they own a piece of land bc their book of fairy tales told them so!!!” and they refuse to understand that no, we don’t belong there because of the torah, it’s in the torah because we belong there. because we’re from there. the torah (from a reform perspective) was written by ancient jews in and about the land that they were actively living on at the time. the torah contains instructions for agriculture because the people who lived in the land needed a way to teach their children how to care for it. it contains laws of jurisprudence because those are pretty important to have when you’re trying to run a society. same for the parts that talk about city planning. it contains our national origin story for the same reason that american schools teach kids about the boston tea party. it’s an extremely complex and fascinating text that is the furthest thing from just a “book of fairy tales”
#txt#jumblr#i’ll never forget studying parashat noach one week#and i was discussing it at face value as if it was a real historical event just bc that was the most interesting way for me to approach it#and our clergy associate was like ‘okay but we know this is a fable right?’#that just. *chefs kiss* perfectly encapsulates reform judaism to me#this is also why i cant stand when ppl act like reform jews are somehow less religious#i LOVE torah. i love diving into the text and discussing it w people and exploring the historical context behind the words#and treating it as a document written by a human society rather than coming directly fully formed from hashem#adds such a FASCINATING dimension to analyzing the text#what were we thinking when we wrote this? what had recently been happening around us that might have inspired this passage?#what practical meaning did this particular commandment have for daily life in that time?#i love torah i love history i love anthropology and i love judaism#AND THE NATIONAL ORIGIN STORY AS A NARRATIVE FRAMING FOR ALL THE PRACTICAL LAWS!!!!!!! oooooohhhh i love it

cut panel of Genly being herded down the hall after giving his address to the commensals. the relief on the wall depicts meshe as the sun spewing the milk of meshe from their breasts. pretend the rest is like garden of earthly delights i couldnt be bothered to draw
#because context is lacking. left to right: gaum slose genly shusgis obsle. estraven and yegey off in the corner#the left hand of darkness#my fanart#tlhod#im sorry i havent been posting so much recently im in a very 'if i cant do this justice i shouldnt post it' mood#which doesnt go well when you're an artist with low self esteem. this is said objectively and it is an impediment i need to get over

Blind side (Patreon)
#Doodles#UT#Handplates#Sans#Papyrus#Gaster#Sans closing his good eye every once in a while and keeping his blind eye open - obviously he does so in-game as well so it's a style-match#It's just interesting in the context of him being textually-confirmed blind in Handplates hehe#There's a level of vulnerability there! Not more than closing both eyes around someone - and potentially also distrust!#''I'm baring myself blind right now but /you/ don't need to know that'' - it suits him ♪#Especially when he does it around Papyrus! Because obviously Papyrus knows about his partial blindness#But when he's trying to be duplicitous - the way he looks at him sidelong with his blind eye when he's trying to lie unsuccessfully ugh <3#And again-again it being about how much he trusts Papyrus! That he can be a little lazy or spacey and Papyrus will help him!#Also something about his entire right side being impaired - pawing around with his plated hand for something he can't see on that side#The dynamics! Internal and external! Very good like them lots#And then there's Gaster lol ♪ Throw him into the mix I'm sure it won't make a mess at all haha#I guess he's visiting? Just spacing out - he and Sans have a lot on their minds - separately haha#I do love how Sans pushes Gaster to be kind to Papyrus - very deservedly! He wants Papyrus to be happy of course#And he's obviously still angry with Gaster a lot but how might that present itself when Papyrus is Papyrus at Gaster hehe#Even just in that small jokey way of ''you tryin' to step on my turf?'' hehehe#Especially since the comparison wouldn't even come up if he had two functioning eyes hm?? Right Gaster???? Lol#Speaking of that scene and Sans' partial blindness tho ughhughuhg <3 <3 The fact that Sans stands with Gaster to his blind side#It's the vulnerability/distaste/confidence of it all! He's grown up so much it's all right there in how he holds himself#That he either trusts Gaster enough not to attack him - starting to believe him - or that he has enough faith in himself to protect himself#And only looking at him with his peripherals unless he looks directly at him hghhhgh I am Normal about shot composition I swear lol#Also I like how that last panel turned out lol - Sans just appears at the bottom of the steps like how's it going. care to gtfo thx

enter stage roleswap wrightworth
(without dialogue under the cut!)



yk, this is supposed to be a part of a group of sketches further going into the au but god do i not have the energy to colour allat rn
#oh yea he wore a contact in his blue eye to make it the same as the left. perfection in symmetry of wtv bullshit mvk reasoned just cause#‘wore’ btw the cons overweighed the pros and by the time he was an adult he stopped#his history of eyecontact strain on his right has caused it to simply stop being able to function when he overworks himself#is that a thing? i dont know but i have lazy eye in my left and its been straining so bad sometimes i just cover it so i can see better#hm. maybe thats my sign to wear my glasses more often#bye not me realising the context only exists in my head#anyway roleswap narumitsu ft my horrid attempt at a pun#ace attorney#fanart#aa#art#phoenix wright#miles edgeworth#digital art#my art#narumitsu#mitsunaru#roleswap au#role swap au#phoenix wright ace attorney#gyakuten saiban#gyakutensaiban#ace attorney role swap#defense attorney miles edgeworth#prosecutor phoenix wright#turnabout tragedy#artists on tumblr

#my post#p#saw#saw iii#is that how its tagged..idk#as had been the case in the past now ive stared at thjs long enough n fucked around w it so long that i kinda hate it#but im releasing it anyway. into my blog#saw the quote on pinterest n already had the pic of her kneeling by her bed n went hunting for other ones#this is lowkey nothing but i spent time on it so w/e here goes lol#first pics are her being kinda set off by lynn saying john probs doesnt know amandas there#when shes hugging him post surgery i believe (or some other time hes not doin good i forget)#n that rly set her off n i almost included instead of one of those#one right after when john has to kinda call her off to leave lynn alone (i will make dog motif amanda post. one day)#3rd pic seems self explanatory. when we see her little room at the like jigsaw lair it always makes me go :(#knowing she probs lives there w john or wherever hes at yknow#i see her as v isolated besides her connection to john w makes that bond stronger not in a good way necessarily ofc#cuz its. not a good situation for her but like hes all she has kinda thing i think#last pic just had the vibe i was looking for n feels less right than 3rd one but idc now#after the blackmail letter from hoffman so she feels like she has to kill lynn like it said#n that clearly scared her enough shes willing to yknow murder someone even if john wouldnt approve#in the hopes that he doesnt find out she was sorta part of it w jill's miscarriage n assuming he'd want nothing to do w her then#<- there's so much going on at any given time. soap opera franchise i swear#im p sure u dont even find out til a later movie what the letter was abt or from who skdjdk#saw movies love to be like so this thing might not make sense but stick around for a couple more movies n we'll explain#or add context or a new character u didnt know was involved/alive all along#said affrctionately lol its just funny to me
