The moment you realize you ARE your character(s)
I thought I was the furthest I could be from Norah, I’m not as brash or rude or impulsive or brave or whatever
But I am her
She is me
Harmony does not agree with us
But torn are we the same
From cloth cut in different ways
—
Not every trait of course but fundamentally she is so many parts of myself, and I don’t know how I didn’t see it earlier.
#I suspected because how now#but I realize now#we’re both passive protagonists#just letting things happen to us#without a word#except a jest#but then it all comes flying out in a rage#before we’re back…to being…normal again..#writer thoughts#Norah Gallagher

Only I could turn 40-50 side characters into 105 side characters INTO 163 SIDE CHARACTERS.
The things I do for a viable and compelling mystery game with four healthy cases full of enough mystery, development and tomfoolery
Most of these guys will be just a name and maybe a portrait, so I don't need to worry too much. Plus, they'll be great ground work for any quick side quests that need doing... but still... I've been at this spreadsheet for days inputting names, age ranges, area of work and area of residence. I'm only half done.
#I'm gonna have to bully my artist#“Do all these portraits and sprites for my 100 odd characters!”#And my artist will stare back at me#Without a word#Because I'm talking to the mirror#I am the artist#OH GOD#I AM THE ARTIST#What am I doing to myself?!#.../scene#I've always looked forward to being able to say “I don't pay my artist” with a stupid smug face#KNOWING that I am the artist#for my insanely developed mystery game

helena eagan who grew up wanting for nothing but at the same time truly wanting nothing until she watched her innie receive the affection she spent her whole life trying to earn. helena eagan who stepped into her innie's life because she wanted to know what it felt like to be loved with no strings attached. helena eagan who tried so hard to be the woman her innie is - who crawled through a tunnel full of goat shit to help mark find his outie's wife, and tried to console irving before his trip to o&d, and laughed openly and freely with the refiners around the campfire on a snowy night - but in the end just couldn't pull it off. helly was never cruel. sometimes the poison drips through.
#helena eagan who admitted in the quiet warmth of mark's embrace that she's ashamed of who she is on the outside#but she doesn't want helly's life either. she wants the perks without having earned them.#something something every word is truth but what is real.#severance spoilers#severance#helena eagan#helly r#britt lower#emmy for ms lower NOW#boa talks severance

When a W.I.T. soldier came too close to the old woman following Emerald,
everyone suddenly turned and walked away, as if told to do so. Likewise, Mary just stood up and left Emerald without a word.

I don't think this guy is good at handling any kind of affection let's be real 🙏
#mmelart#cookie run kingdom#shadow milk crk#shadow milk cookie#pure vanilla crk#pure vanilla cookie#truthless recluse#shadowvanilla#pureshadow#I feel like Shadow Milk wouldn't accept any kindness well especially from someone who he's attached to lol#Like.. he finds it comforting but also hates it and fears at the same time if you know what I mean#And I can imagine PV secretly trying to give it to him without it being suspicious or something while being Truthless Recluse#Okay idk how to put it into words but I hope you understand my vision here- I can't think properly I don't want it to be way too OOC#They have been on my mind so much I need moreee

in this house we love the artists and engineers and actors who worked on arcane so much that we will not share the leaks
remember that the people who really suffer from leaks are regular people like you and me who worked hard for weeks, months, and years to make this show a reality
#arcane#if you saw anything - no you didn't#arcane s2#it goes without saying that most fans don't want to see that#if you want to see them then there are places you can go find them#but there's no need to spread leaks here or on twitter or reddit#to the rest of us: blacklist keywords and tags on social media! protect yourself!#I've blocked the words arcane - leak - leaks - netflix - and others

#illustration#digital art#original art#artists on tumblr#character art#marcia#marciaillust#marcia continuing her mission to shit colour maximalist style#i am really enjoying making this garret centric series of paintings#and its been fun seeing the reaction of people to the previous one! many kind words and some people even included their interpretation#of what it means about the characters#i remember one was very sweet... very much the opposite of what I meant to say with the picture but you know what#a knee jerk reaction to interpret things with love at the helm - what a glass-half-full kinda worldview. what a wonderful trait#as an author is talking about the meaning allowed or is it giving the game away#i think i should stay dead. even if i create these with a very specific message at the core#all i can do is create the artefact and try to align and point its elements in a specific direction but what the audience does with it#is outside of my control. to try and control the perception of an artwork speaks to its weakness in its ability to communicate#not to mention the insecurity of the author#i think art is the relationship created between the artefact and the audience member. whatever shape it takes#and to try and forcefully mould it is sacrilege frankly#even if (arthur clenching fist dot jpg) even if sometimes some people are misguided.#orion lavont#garret#tcm#oc#the clockmaster#GOLDEN CALF!!!!! BEHOLD AND OBSSES!! OBSERVE AND POSSES!!!!!! HOLY AND WITHOUT A SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Continuing on a bit from this post:
Tim, complaining about Bruce grounding him again: It doesn’t even make sense! It’s like everything I do is a problem now but I’m not doing anything different!
Kon, who thinks a grounding is when you get sent outside to do yard work: Have you tried digging a hole? Like a lot of holes.
Bart, whose punishments are typically doing chores without powers: Or raking leaves?
Cassie, who knows exactly why Tim keeps getting in trouble: … Does Bruce know you’re at Titan Tower?
Tim: No, why?
Cassie: No reason.
***Later that day***
Jason: Why is Tim digging a grave in the front yard?
Dick: He got grounded again.
Jason: So… is it for him or Bruce?
Dick: Not sure yet.
#Cassie realizing she’s the most normal one here and the gods talk to her#It’s unfortunate that Bruce and Tim are bad at communicating in the exact same way#This will not be resolved without someone interfering but almost everybody thinks it’s funnier to just watch#meanwhile: Alfred is about ten steps away from seeing what’s currently happening to his flowers#and Tim is one wrong word away from creating another fake uncle#tim drake#red robin#conner kent#superboy#impulse#bart allen#cassie sandsmark#wonder girl#batfam

How much longer 'til your luck runs out?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#Aaargh...I have so many thoughts about this scene.#This is a hard goodbye. I'm not your burden to bear. Not anymore.#This is the culmination of years of miscommunication. There was so much love there. They trusted each other with everything once.#I think it is easy to hear the anger in JC's voice and consider him the aggressor in this but listen to the words not the tone.#It is anger yes - but it is an anger born out of love.#Jiang Cheng wanted him to live - damn the rest of the world to hell if that's what it took. And Wei Wuxian chose strangers over him.#Sometimes two people who once flourished together become each other's worst wounds.#A goodbye to someone you once would have done anything for is a wound you don't easily recover from.#Jiang Cheng could have stood at Wei Wuxian's side and joined him. Consider though; as a sect leader his life is not his own anymore.#JC cannot just abandon the fledgling New Yunmeng Jiang without also dooming people.#And that is the lynch pin of it all. Both of them are trapped by duty. And the older they got the more tangled the web became.#The song I linked (Hi Epic fans) is such a good JC and WWX song that doesn't fit this scene exactly#But it does fit *them*. The words of warning that go dismissed. The Tactical Genius who continues to press on.#The seeds of doubt that grow louder until they creep towards mutiny. Ultimatly this *is* a mutiny! It *is* betrayal!#'You rely on wit and people die by it'. Is that not Wei Wuxian?#Just smashing my brainworms together over here. Don't mind me.

Jason travels to an alternate universe where Bruce only cares about being Batman. He took in each of his kids to serve the mission, not be his children.
Now, faced with alternate versions of his family, Jason has to grapple with the fact that his Bruce does care, that he is his father. Because the man in front of him now, trying to send him home, isn’t even close.
#batman#jason todd#bruce wayne#redhood#batfam#batfamily#this bruce went one of two ways 1) running his kids into the ground and they’re basically unrecognizable to jason or 2) worked them so hard#they couldn’t take it and left the business entirely and he’s completely alone except the JL which doesn’t like him but he is necessary#sure crime is down but bruce’s crusade is just that an actual crusade because he treats his sons like soldiers and everything comes second#to the mission. i don’t even know if damian exists in this universe because the idea of bruce having romantic relationships is laughable#although here he might be more closely aligned to talia because they’re both mission oriented and having a legal heir for their literal#legacy might appeal to him idk. just that jason shows up and it’s like his brothers have military ranks instead of names. none of them have#real jobs or even friends because they eat sleep work live at the manor and would never leave the batcave if it weren’t for public#appearances. it’s insane to see dick without his personality or tim who really does act like a robot and not a person. i don’t know if steph#cass and duke would stick around for this (or alfred for that matter i’m 50/50)#but when jason does get back everyone is shocked that he sticks around the cave and manor for a couple weeks checking in on everyone and#making the effort to do things unrelated to mask business. he has to write a report about the incident and he struggles to even put into#words how wrong it felt. his arguments with bruce also skew slightly because he can’t claim bruce doesn’t care in general just that he#doesn’t care about him or express it enough or in the right way. a far cry from the usual spiel and bruce is concerned so they talk it out
