i refuse to believe any other rock musicians have the vaguest shred of respect for the gavinners. not for whatever musical abilities and sensibilities they may or may not have, but because of the whole shilling for the police thing. also. the name.

More naps for the boys (:
My headcanon is Derek has a beat-up old gameboy color (scratched up, the battery cover's missing, etc) that somehow survived the fire - maybe it was in a storage somewhere.
might line and render this later, but i liked the color combo so you also get this version <3
Dedicated to @renmackree who is the best hypeman, i appreciate you!

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.
i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.
anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.
#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking.#nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference#anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose.#isat#in stars and time#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#isat act 6 spoilers#isat loop#isat siffrin#isat bonnie#isat nille#isat fanart#in stars and time fanart#doodlebyte#----------------------------------------------------------------------#anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!)#which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around)#and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but#They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt)#and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good#(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit#distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally#stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine)#the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly.#but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief)#as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur#BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule#which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation#ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

Drew a bunch of Marinettes in a bunch of different artists styles it was a lot of fun!!
Artists who's styles I mimicked: @buggachat @hamsternamedmarinette @ladybeug @sabertoothwalrus and @anna-scribbles all epic artists 🤟😎
#my art#marinette dupain cheng#miraculous ladybug#miraculous fanart#style mimic#sorry for the @s btw#yall should go follow those artists if you dont already also#this was sort of inspired by a post the three artists on the top row made#i think they all got together and drew with one another#which is really cool#but i was genuinely confused because i mimic styles a lot#and ive seen others do it too so i was just like#wow they really know each others styles really well#until i thought about it and read their posts some more#style mimicking is really freaking fun and i think its really good practice#and a good way to explore other ways of doing things#like you really have to learn new techniques and get out of your comfort zone#also anna scribbles i could not find a recent pic of marinette in her main outfit#so thats the only marinette i drew in different clothes cuz i couldnt find a more recent ref of you drawing it#anna scribble marinette has privileges thats the others dont#but ye#i also threw my own style in there as a frame of reference to what me draw like#ive drawn marinette before just not in a loooong while#sabertooth walrus was the hardest for me to mimic cuz they have a broad range in their style#so its like which sabertooth do i wanna be in this pic#Buggachat has such a distinct style thats very clean and consistent which is amazing so they were easy#being easy or hard arent bad things either it also has to do with like styles meeting up with one another#buggachats and mine arent too too different in some shapes and aspects#so yeah itd be easier plus they drew marinette like 3 sec ago so i have more recent of a ref#as opposed to sabertooth who i have a recent ref of ladybug but not marinette so we got two diff styles in one

Character designs by @doctorforks !!!!! Appreciate them or repent
I was originally just gonna draw Fyodor (because her design is my favourite) but then I drew Nikolai because it felt wrong seperating Fyodor from her buff clown body guard and because I’m in love with her.
But now I feel bac for leaving Sigma out :(
#art#bungou stray dogs#fanart#bsd art#bsd fanart#bsd#artists on tumblr#bsd fyodor#bsd nikolai#bungo stray dogs nikolai#I’ll probably draw sigma later#because I love her design and I lowkey felt real world guilt for leaving her out#three people would take forever for me to render tho#curses#pancakes_art#the reference kinda cropped Fyodors dress cathedral so I made my own in my style which was weirdly fun

What have you done?
based on an idea @username8746489 had where sylvie discovered nightmare fuel for the first time on accident while getting bullied by some older kids (and pushing him further into social isolation now that he's known as "that scary kid who could summon someone's worst fear")
#♦️charlie's art#epithet erased#sylvester ashling#sylvie ashling#ok i have a lot to yap about here hold on#this was a challenge to make since i was imagining it with no dialogue and limited colors i hope i pulled it off#because of those two things something i had to think a lot about was how the color progression changes the mood#I wasn't originally gonna add that last panel with the aftermath but un suggested the idea of the bullies being vague shadowy figures#initially until sylvie realizes what he did and is forced to see that “that was a real person with their own fears and insecurities”#so then they're drawn more detailed#sylvie and the bullies also aren't in the same panels together until the last one because he's just so below them that he isnt worthy of#sharing equal space with them. these kids are highschoolers. if sylvie wants to look at them he'll always have to look up#and also because i was struggling with their height difference#i hope the second page doesn't make it look too much like sylvie summoned a fire 😭 it kinda helps with the mood but what he summoned is#supposed to be ambiguous and i dont want it to look like i was born yesterday and think nightmare fuel ONLY summone fire#but its hard to make it NOT look like fire when i can only work with orange#the lineart starts out clean and gets messier as the conflict progresses to represent a lack of control#and also it creates kind of a shakey/unstable effect which emphasizes sylvie's fear#also unintentional but i think the second page having detailed shading emphasizes the mood changes. this just got SERIOUS#oh also i used the mizu5 untrained as a color reference thats fun#ALSO SYLVIE DIDN'T KILL ANYONE im just realizing the one curled up in the last panel could be interpreted that way#that's not what i was going for#this might be unrealistic...... but we also know so little about sylvie's backstory that who's to say for sure IDK LET ME MAKE MY FAV SUFFER

another drawover because they help my brain not be evil
#this reference picture is absurdly cute#also so them. because javier literally will curl around anything in the vicinity so when he's big spoon he will latch onto kieran like he's#going to float away LOL#kieran loves being the little spoon because the full pressure of javier nearly crushing him is very comforting. but only when it's javi. wh#en it's other things he feels trapped and starts tweaking. hostage trauma and whatnot.#they absolutely love sleeping together. modern javieran (or my original kieran lives timeskip au even) take naps together almost every day#when they can.#wow i need to name all my au's. they're getting a little jumbled now LOL cat sanctuary au is THE OG even tho i never write it anymore. then#just my general kieran lives au. then blackwater!kieran (which is what i'm calling it for now and it'll prob stay that way too actually).#then ANOTHER modern au in my drafts im thinking through where they're long distance ... i'm trying to let myself have the freedom to just#make stuff up as i want and not psyche myself out about how bad i am as a writer right now because of my memory loss </3#anyways that was a tangent. i love them :] drawovers are so freeing#me when i don't have to think to draw because i am literally just tracing an image for my own entertainment and we should all just live#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#kieran duffy#javier escuella#javieran#image#art#hero draws sometimes#hero's kieran#hero's javier#hero's javieran

Tip for adult artists if your focus is improving your anatomy and drawing bodies that feel more grounded in a space, genuinely one of the best exercises for that is to draw smut.
You don't have to post it. Hell, you can burn it when you're done for all it matters. But hardly anything will give you more of an understanding of a realistic human body interacting in 3D space when you smush two or more of them together.
#art advice#18+ art#obviously not the only way to go about it#but I definitely learned more from drawing smut than from gesture drawings alone#if you're adverse/repulsed by images then non-sexual intimacy would work just fine#I'll admit references are hard cause I hate searching for irl stuff#but worst case scenario 3D model poser apps can help you find the general positions of things and you can pose however you need to#at this point I've been practicing construction a lot so I can just draw from my own understanding of anatomy#and I'll fill in the rest by using reference which can often just be my own photos or looking at my own hands/mouth/etc#added bonus is if you do it enough that embarrassment goes away eventually#but don't be upset with yourself if you are painfully shy at the start that's perfectly normal#ok sorry this turned into a ramble#artists of tumblr#demirambles

little thing i’ve been meaning to give my Agent Phoenix for a while and was inspired to finally put to paper by @purplebehittindifferent’s drawing refs!
i’m not a cane user myself so if you are feel free to correct any mistakes i make!
#this was a first attempt and i can definitely smell all the mistakes i made with how the weight ought to feel#but i think it was a good first try!#i do own a cane (got it for a cosplay) which i used as a loose base for this one’s appearance (along with other 60s era canes)#i’ll need to look at more reference photos so i can give em good poses in future drawings#i imagine that their pain is usually ehh pretty manageable but standing or walking for a long time makes it flare up#which is why they sit down in every level the second they’re able to#they were resistant to the idea of the cane at first but the knife in the handle sold them#ieytd#i expect you to die#agent phoenix#my art

Throwing my hat into the elves and culture discussion, I think one of the things that I find most... upsetting is _what_ Bioware took from Judaism to make their elves. Which is to say, not a lot. What they took was Jewish history - ghettos, diaspora, and blood libel. The bad parts. Stuff about our oppression. Not stuff from Judaism as a religion or Jews as a culture. We don't get to see elves celebrate any cognates to Jewish holidays. There's no equivalent of kashrut or Yiddish or Ladino (despite that not making sense with the Dales being around for four centuries). The two most defining features of Dragon Age elves, the vallaslin and the Evanuris, directly contradict Jewish teachings. Jews started writing down our history and laws as soon as we lost our homeland and independence to Babylon, but it's written into the fabric of Dragon Age that the elves didn't, and their story is one of obtaining a lost past, not preserving a remembered one. It's even indicated that the city elves largely worship the Maker.
In thoughtful hands this could be a story about how Jews are seen as a religion when it's convenient to oppress us one way and a race when it's convenient to oppress us another, but it's not. Instead the impression I am left with is that in the mind of Dragon Age, Jews are defined solely by our oppression.
thank you for sharing!!!!
this came up earlier when an anon asked about making an elven oc from a (marginalised) cultural context they themselves aren’t from and i think it always comes down to a question of whether oppression and suffering are the only things you’re interested in or whether you care enough to learn about community, family and joy. and bioware seems to fail to clear this bar every time it comes to the elves.
i truly think some of the most incredible work in this fandom has come from fans putting those things back into the setting.
#coding can be good! it can be meaningful! it doesn’t have to be tropey and only focused on violence and loss!#fine. make an alienage. but tell us about their cultural traditions! festivals! what do they eat? what songs do they sing?#‘we do what we can to remember the old ways’ is what we have the alienage culture codex saying. so where are they?#if the old ways are fading then what new traditions have come about in diaspora?#btw the other codex from that hahren refers to the evanuris as the ancient gods & ‘THEIR prophet’ & ‘THEIR maker’ as impositions.#implying the andrastianism may only be a veneer. which *could* be an exploration of something like dönme & sephardic jewish populations#facing forced conversion while trying to covertly practice their own religion.#that’s always been my read of the ‘andrastian’ alienage & digging into turkish dönme history for uh. reasons. has only reinforced that read#u could do something with that! maybe tabris has more insight into the alienage culture! sprinkle in those ‘old ways’ the codices mention!#but we don’t get to see ANY of that even playing as a tabris except a dagger named after fen’harel. okay. sure thing bioware 😐👍#<- that is WAY too much yapping from me sorry. thank you again for sharing ur perspective!!!#bioware critical

Clue (1985), Charade (1963), The Birdcage (1996), and My Man Godfrey (1936)
jeeves:

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019), La Belle et La Bête (1946), Roman Holiday (1953), and The Lion in Winter (1968)

madeline bassett:

La La Land (2016), Enchanted (2007), Howl’s Moving Castle (2004), and Sabrina (1954)
#i have specific reasons for all of these picks#some based on what book genres the characters like#ie bertie’s mysteries and bingo’s race horse books and madeline’s tragic romances#and of course jeeves’s love for rosie m bank’s interclass romances#others are based on plot like my man godfrey (which even references jeeves!!! so that’s particularly relevant as a choice)#or how to steal a million cause stiffy’s greatest dream is having a man rob a whole museum for her#and also she’s the type of person to go around saying “she’s so me” about amy from gone girl#dahlia’s choices are a lot of chaos and illegal tomfoolery#and don’t think too deeply about three of jeeves’s films being about interclass/forbidden romances with tragic endings… it means nothing#i tormented for ages on whether or not to include My Own Private Idaho for jeeves#cause it’s…. poignant shall we say#but in the end roman holiday won out because that’s THE bittersweet classic romcom of all time#and i know he can recite it like rosie’s novels#anyway i think everyone should do this it’s super fun and also deeply frustrating in a good way#jeeves & wooster#jeeves and wooster#reginald jeeves#bertie wooster#pg wodehouse#jeeves books

~ Batman and Robin: Year One
At first, I was a bit scared with where this was going, because the whole "Bruce ignored Dick when he first got him" is not my jam, but I was pleasantly surprised here. Also, I refuse to believe Alfred has never raised his voice at Bruce. We are talking about a man that used to beat up bullies at school and was expelled after trying to kill one because Alfred had enough and told him to find a more efficient way to deal with it. No way Alfred never had to raise his voice at him.
Anyway, Bruce getting so much into his work that he gets in a bubble, he forgets to eat and to sleep, time doesn't exist, he cannot hear you. Really, a neurodivergent icon. BUT, the moment he is out of it and simply hears it's about Dick, he gets so worried, it's adorable.
This is already the second time in this comics that the writer reminds us that it's Bruce that raised Dick, not Alfred. First, with the cps worker, when Bruce reassured her he wasn't going to make Alfred raises the boy instead of him. And here, with Alfred telling Bruce to "fix it", that it is Bruce's responsibility to parent Dick and Alfred will not do it, which Bruce agrees to, he just doesn't know how to do it yet.
This story is going to be about Bruce learning to be a dad, and I'm here for it.
Also, I wanna point out how this is a different take about Dick Grayson's early weeks at the manor from what we get normally. We are used to "I feel lonely and sad" Dick, and here they gave us "no more parental surpervision/you can't dictate me" Dick. I don't know how I feel about it yet.
Very funny how I rant about how Bruce is independent, and then DC published this where Bruce is described as an independent child that didn't need Alfred to tell him what needed to be done.
#batman#bruce wayne#dick grayson#robin#batfam#alfred pennyworth#dc comics#my ramblings#batman and robin year one#another one for the “Alfred didn’t step up as a father when Bruce was a kid” because Bruce is literally using his own experience with Alfre#as an example and is realizing that's actually not what children need#also Alfred refering to Bruce when he was a child as an adult which already happened TWICE in this comic like no he was a kid still#him being introverted and cleaned after himself doesn’t mean he wasn’t a kid anymore

One of my favorite things i hate about project sekai is that they keep making detailed cool stories within stories AND THEY ARENT FRICKEN REAL
Rio and his quest to save his dying mother, the heartbreak and pain of thinking you need to kill someone youve gone close to, the relief knowing theres another way? NOT REAL
A shy pianist who with the help of forest creatures, like a fairy tale princess, learns to overcome his fears to face his dreams? NOT REAL
A play about a man contemplating suicide and then learning about the world with the help of others and eventually changing his mind—based a on “Kiichiro Kajiwara's The Pomegranate” YEAH GUESS WHAT ALSO • NOT • REAL
I hate this how dare they write such compelling stories within stories how dare they not give me a full version with fleshed out dialogue
#disclaimer this is a joke#very satire if it wasn’t obvious#this is one of my favorite parts of wxs stories is how fleshed out the shows they do are#it makes it feel more real :)#ITS ALSO FRICKEN ANNOYING BECAUSE YES I DID LOOK UP TORPE FOR A GOOD 15 MINUTES BEFORE REALIZING IT PROBABLY WASNT A REAL THING#and hey they referenced peter pan and romeo and juliet so how was i supposedto know if it was real and just a japanese reference i didnt get#also they all (at least that im caught up with on eng) have zero romance#which is on par for the game it rarely mentions it and the couple mentions have been in wedding events n stuff also An’s ‘date with kohane’#‘love is love’ shizuku an wedding mixed event (yes they basically said that lmao)#but anyway thats another reason i wish these fake stories existed outside of the game—i want more epic plots without romance that also arent#just kids shows yknow?#project sekai#prsk#pjsk#wxs#proseka#wonderlands x showtime#i love this game#on the stage of dazzling light#the phoenix in the distant sky#? thats what the wiki says#towards the phoenix’s edge#was what i thought#sighhh eng translations#star of your own story#had to look up event names cus i forgot lmaoo#tsukasa tenma#i’ll tage him because these are like all his focus events lol#tag*#its almost midnight but i needed to day this
