#GET IT??? HIS *BULL*FIGHTING DAYS....hahah yeahhhh im so clever..... #suddenly had the urge to draw old man version matador nando bcs DC randomly called him a matador during quali #and im like oh my god....dc....youre so right.... #hoping this piece works as some kind of blood sacrifice for his performance in about 7 hrs :) #get it blood sacrifice??? and hes cutting his hand in this piece??? #thats supposed to represent two things. #1. hes doing a blood pact/sacrifice so his performance goes well #2. hes testing the sharpness so he can slay the bull!(and the...horse? 🤭🤭) #had a very interesting convo w Suzuki abt the implications of matador nando #based on a meme i made 😭 abt how our fantasy is that hes gonna be the bullfighter. hes gonna slay the bull #but the reality will be that he looks upon the bull from a distance #hes meant to kill the bull to overcome it. but he just ends up longing to be the bull. he fails.. hahaha get it.... #lmao angst aside i think its kinda funny how i can have this reasoning for the matador au in two eras #thats long the old man has been here. has had two distinct periods of challenging the (red) bull #ANYWAYS!!!! hope ya like!!!!!! i think this is pretty relevant hopefully 🤭🤭 #quite happy w this one even if it was less of an ordeal than most of my drawings #waaaahahhh hes so handsome!!!!! handsomest guy!!!!!!! #lol scheduling this like an hr before the race cause as i said. its an offering. its a sacrifice. i pray to the racing gods #tw blood #<- just a bit 🥰 he was originally just gonna be holding the sword but i realized ouch! sharp!!! #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #catie.art. #fa14 #f1 art #f1 fanart #matador au

what if they were human?

kay kay kay so i was thinking what would the bugs loook like if they we in a human form or like in a disguse similar to scrabby and this is what i got:

I was also thinking hmm.... well beetles are one of the most diverse species in the world and literally I watched a video talking about how they collected beetles for a sample in the wild and out of those beetles they discovered 7 new species. Soooooo I was like what if they were different races instead?

honestly, I'd be so funny bc of how Scrabby is ginger and he just starts singing the Animaniacs song if someone asks his race

its literally just this lol

also I did as much research as I could ofc :p

Also one with the pink/green eyes (Popstar) belongs to @chaosaliien and the one with purple eyes (Stella) belongs to @liqu3d

#uhh here are their races if you're interested #moonfly is black #Jacob is Brazillian #Frost is middle eastern #Node is asian with curly hair from Prism #Stella is light skinned #like damn she in the mood #iv'e never seen men become so zesty in my entire life the way they act when ice spice comes on #stella ice spice FR LMAO #IVE TESTED MY HYPOTHESIS #THEORY? CONFIRMED. #god damn Jacob the definition of testosterone #when i tell you how clever i felt making Jacobs cracks as scars on his face #i might've done a bad job but jacob has bleached hair thats overgrownnnn so yeahhh #honestly i love chracters with vililigo they're actually so pretty #they have constellations on their face what is more mystical than that? #WHEN I TELL YOU I HAD 👏 TO 👏 TRUST 👏 THE 👏 PROCESS 👏 WITH 👏 THE 👏 VITILIGO 👏 #white pen ink is very tasty i def recommend /j #diffrent face shapes lessss goooooooooooooooooooooo #ain't no way somebody reading all this shiii #ok ik ik ill stop writing becoming president of yappersville rn #lawful joke fanart #lawful joke #lawful joke fankids

hello hello! i love your character analysis(?) posts, and i would love to hear your thoughts on Avior 👀 /nf

alright im on the train home from uni so its rantin' time - this'll probably be a long one, so strap in theydies and gentlethems!

avior! avior. his first arc was incredibly interesting to me, as i'm a big fan of moral quandries. the idea of keeping a massive secret from a loved one for their safety is super compelling, doubly so if that secrecy is justified (looking at you, blake).

this guy is smart, which is refreshing. avior might be highly emotional (pin this for later), but he's a strategist by nature. unlike a lot of other characters (looking at you again, blake), avior is able (to a certain point) to put his own feelings and goals aside for the sake of others. however - as we'll get to later, avior also has a tendency to decide what people want for them, rather than asking. admittedly, he's usually right, but his execution almost always ends up making someone upset with him.

avior has a lot of flaws, but that's what makes him so interesting! i'd argue avior's biggest character flaw is his immaturity, with selfishness as a close second. he can be shockingly inconsiderate at times, especially if he believes he's doing it for the greater good. avior often hides behind his intellect as an excuse to be detached from things he deems unimportant. obviously he dials it up on purpose to keep starlight at arm's length, but his real feelings towards some of their less good ideas do start to show through from time to time.

on the other side of that coin, avior is very reactionary when it comes to things he does care about. he's a passionate person who regularly has to handle very strong emotions, and it shows. watching avior torture himself by keeping someone he loves at a distance by being a dick is - well, not fun, but it's very strong and entertaining character work.

i think these two things come to a head in the imperium. avior's desire to keep everything running smoothy clashes with his (for lack of a better term) humanity. we can see this in the way he is distrustful (and rightfully so) of the vampire hoardes showing up on the academy's doorstep, yet he goes ballistic at vega for suggesting that they're disposable soldiers who can be killed for resisting orders. i think it's pretty clear in both the prime and imperium timelines that avior is a pacifist, but is often forced into violence either directly or by proxy. imperium!avior has a lot of people relying on him, and he really wasn't built for that pressure.

as an aside, i think it's interesting to see how each character reacts to extreme stress. it was perfectly put in that one heritage tumblr post - your characters are geodes. to see what they're really made of, you need to break them. avior is very reactionary, so you might expect him to snap, but he crumbles. avior's prime universe breakdown is super interesting (which i know is a wild statement, but i'm making it through a purely analytical lens, so hear me out). he's 36 at time of writing, but that is staggeringly young compared to daemons who have been around since before the beginning of time. he doesn't know who he is yet. avior might resist it when questioned, but he wants - needs - guidance, and he knows that. i think avior struggles with impostor syndrome, especially in the imperium. he's nervous to move away from the security blanket that is the older daemons, and getting booted into a pocket dimension by blake has forced his hand.

let's talk about the finale, and start of arc 2! avior and starlight are dumped out on the street by ancient deathless gods. cool. the inversion starts. less cool. avior's first instinct is to investigate and report back to the chorus - his curiosity is back after being beaten out of him by spending 2 years completely isolated. he's horrified by the carnage, which is completely expected, but i also think speaks to how sheltered he is. obviously, everyone in the general area is caught off guard by what is essentially shades shooting fish in a barrel, but avior's revulsion is unique. he hasn't spent enough time in elegy to learn real damage control, let alone for a large number of people. david is a good contrast here - of course he wants to help individuals, but he recognises that his first priority should be the safety of as many people as possible. granted, it's his job, but even sam starts to coordinate muster points once he's caught onto the situation (and, admittedly, made sure vincent hasn't torn through a wall looking for lovely).

avior then presents his (*) memories of e'laetum and min'ara to the chorus, as well as calling them for backup at the inversion point, but they're unconvinced. we'll be here all day if i got into chorus politics here - but i think their hesitancy is, among other reasons, caused by avior's presentation of the information. he's panicking. insistant. desperate to get the chorus involved as quickly as possible to stop people from suffering. this is another of avior's flaws - he's a lot more human than he thinks.

you could chalk that up to his age and inexperience, but avior displays a level of empathy (ironically) and care for humans that a lot of other daemons do not. that's definitely not a bad thing, but avior seems to be completely unaware of this fact and thus leaves it unmeasured. i think avior might have had a chance of at least swaying the chorus if he had presented his evidence with logic and detachment. here's a screen recording of meeting e'laetum and min'ara and the information they gave, be it true or not. you can all feel mass casualties in the spellsong. shades are involved, and a lot of them, so the sovereigns are definitely up to something. avior is far too smart to not put the pieces together that this display of raw power by the sovereigns is a sign that their strength is returning. but, unfortunately, the chorus (specifically circinus) only see avior's emotions clouding his judgement, and dismiss him.

i'm worried that an extended period of being completely alone has stunted avior's emotional development, especially considering he never spent much time interacting with elegy in the first place. even someone like gavin (who chose to stay in elegy after years of mistreatment) responded to the inversion fairly rationally, considering he spent the entire time being agonisingly ripped apart at the seams. yes, they're different people, but gavin's exposure to people from fairly early in his life is definitely a contributing factor.

avior has a lot of potential directions for his character to go in, but i think the most likely one is his emotional regulation. he's too focused on the immediate future, which is a microscopic amount of time for a daemon that lives for an indefinite amount of time. he's childish. again, not a bad thing - but avior's inexperience and lack of emotional development have a strong effect on his behaviour. i hope he learns to recognise that before it bites him in the ass.

#redacted asmr #redacted audio #redactedverse #redacted avior #now that the coherent literary analysis is over its time for me to spew bullshit #avior's initial condescension is absolutely agonising and i almost couldnt get past it #like i get thats the point and it shows good writing but good god man #also i can tell he's gonna do more stupid shit without thinking about it and it's gonna deal me psychic damage #as another demon once said YOU'RE SO CLEVER HOW CAN SOMEONE AS CLEVER AS YOU BE SO STUPID

turns out i never watched the last two episodes of lockwood and co [the series] and WOW I HATE NETFLIX EVEN MORE!!! THAT WAS THE BEST FUCKING SHIT IN THE WORLD AND THEY CANCLE IT

#lockwood and co #i hope to god it can be picked up by someone else #perferably with the same cast of the main crew at the VERY least ffs #i rewatched it while working on projects today just cuz i wanted to see and hear the acting of the main cast again so i can ingrain- #-it into my head so that when i continued reading id have their skrunklys in my mind #god they are so feral and so found family #i love them #so #fuckin much #it also helps im taking anxiety meds now so i can actuly have HEALTHY hyperfixations again that wont give me asthma attacks! #cuz fr the amount of adrenaline my anxiety would put into me was fuckin unhealthy #thats another reason why ive always stayed on the side of ocs cuz its one of the few things i can handle lolol #cuz im not foaming at the mouth about how clever certain aspects of the stories are lololol- why would i its my stories lolololol

[newvegascowboy]

the entire experience of watching star wars and star wars properties is vacillating wildly between "these movies are not very good" (affectionate) and "these movies are not very good" (derogatory)

#not fallout #kal talks #i think a lot of the appeal in SW as a whole is that they are a little dumb and ridiculous #a little goofy while maintaining serious themes yk #and the effects for the time still look really fucking good and im always impressed #but the acting... the storytelling in the rotj and esb... #could use some help #not even getting into the digitally remastered versions and that weird scene in rotj with the dancing slave girls in jabbas palace #and how hayden christensens force ghost is just edited in LMFAO god that was so absurd #i have literally no memory of the prequel trilogy though #i know ive seen them i just. dont remember #i know they're infamously bad thats all #OH but there are some really good parallels they used to tie in kenobi with rotj and i thought that was really clever #so its just a split between Bad and Really Good #Any Whay im here for mandalorian content

read baizhu’s stories. he wins for most balanced character of all time

#and i mean this in terms of lore vs plot relevance and personality traits #i still haven't pulled him but thats fine (coping) sigh he's so idk enriched as a character #like his stories are obv focused on. well himself but they have a lot of nice lore details like his contract w changsheng and some immortali #immortality mentions ig. idk how to describe it also the elaboration on the r/ship between life and death >>>>>> #can't believe he goes to dinner at wfp sometimes lmao?? him and hu.tao be like 'cant stand this bitch 1 min later me and the bestie' /jjjjjj #just kidding i could never water down a nuanced relationship to a joke meme #when they mentioned how he hu tao and zhongli come together and only truly meet heart to heart when conducting last affairs... good stuff #anyways i like him. please come home now i dont want to have to go to 80 pulls for you #back to the lore relevance its nice that his story quest also elaborated on like how god remains affect people and callback to the chi of yo #yore world quest wayyy back #think im pretty satisfied for how his character personality etc turned out after 2 yrs of waiting like some of the hate was so bad lol just #bc of qiqi's stories but like his stories did a nice balance between selfless but sees all transactions as useful ones and does good but wit #with knowledge that it will also benefit his own reputation and image. selfishly selfless search for immortality clever but caring etc etc #he's got a solid head about him and now i want in depth character analysis fics when there are none on ao3 pensive pensive #ramblings! #baizhu

I've set up my new computer and to test if I put my setting right I redrew my Starbound character Ray D Atyon

#clever name ik i came up with it on the spot bc i was joining a friend #rat finger painting #oc ray d atyon #technically an avali but he follows like. no canon lmao #i will say im fairly happy with my new computer BUT. theres an issue where the tablet will be like SUPER high pen pressure #for like the first bit of a stroke occasionally and idk if thats my tablets issue (unlikely bc it worked fine on my old laptop) #or if its the drivers issue (likely. mac version or maybe this update version bc windows n linux versions were fine) #or god forbid the computer (I doubt it but I Hope Not) #feel like i had this issue with windows too..? idk how i fixed it if so #i could just see if theres updates for comp/driver or something #anyways. hi :] im like half way battling artblock its a weird tango this time

me: yeah I did bad on my stats exam but it's because the study guide was bad. I was working too much at my job. I've been learning to cook eggs. lots of important things

my dad: yeah something your mom says is she was an all A student until she met me

#ok. alright. thanks. #thats so embarassing oh my god #of course hes right so what if he is but i thought i was being so clever i thought i could trick him into forgetting the obvious #the callout is embarrassing and the fact of the matter is as well. i was so serious and studious..... #not to say all that other stuff isnt true of course but I've had a job since i was 15 #purporting that suddenly i dont know how to balance work and school is a little silly i guess. #my new favorite word is purporting btw

i love you weeds i love you vermin i love you pests i love you parasites i love you ugly common boring survivor animals and scraggly determined plants i love you creeping mould and toadstools that spring up after rain i love you furious survivor life i love you organisms that are hated because you refuse to die and who dare thrive in places we deem inconvenient and in ways that we deem disgusting or offensive i love you overlooked native animals who adapt to urban environments i love you leeches and cockroaches and pond scum i love you beings whose only crime is existing i love you i love you i love you

#make no mistake!!!!! we need to control and eradicate invasive pests!!!!!!!! but my god i admire those things that are hated #simply because they learned how to live with us #i have such a fondness for parasites thats only increased recently #with studying ecology #i could go on for so long about the importance of them in ecosystems and how fascinating they are and the role they play #man like. i cant fault an animal for being able to survive. i cant understand hating them because theyre 'common' or eat garbage #(garbage WE leave) and who manage to be clever and hardy enough to survive alongside us #that determination for life. they dont understand our distaste theyre just trying to live #ants and termites and snails and grasshoppers #theyre all just living. thats their business #even invasive species - an individual animal is not evil its just trying to live. we have to control/get rid of them but we have to be kind #ANYWAY. idk what brought this on. i was in the shower for too lon g and it melted my brain #monologues

omg the amount of characters i make with daddy issues is insane

#im not talking about my fucking mary sue ass fnaf oc but its another in a long long line #im actually pretty picky about my ocs that i share. if you think ceekay the long lost karkats twin sibling is embarrassing and stupid #i post them! imagine the rest of them. i have ocs that im TOO EMBARRASSED to talk about #although another problem is that a lot of my interests arent fully interested in canon and more the specific thing i latched onto #idk whats up with fnaf and i know theres a lot of interpretations but he (his name is max :) ) doesnt fit in with any of them #i fully had to like twist and turn everything for my benefit #his name is max dalton its very very cool and awesome if you know the context behind why thats his name #maybe dalton is too obvious but it doesnt sound as similar as it looks and i dont really write this stuff down #hes also dead but hes fine #hes not a ghost or an animatronic. i know this is fnaf. yknow how micheal afton is like definitely dead but also fine. hes alive its fine #hes also not micheal i see now. that it seems like thats why thats the name. its a little bit more clever than that #he transed his gender after he died but hes not good at coming up with names. so its similar #and thats relevent #god fuck anyway. another text post in the tags this one is just wild. classic simon #simons spouting

you know what, I think River Song's plot with the whole "Melody Pond child murder lady sincerely, the Silence" stuff really only works if you either do not think about it at all or if you think about it entirely too much. luckily, I'm capable of doing both!

#but did we really need the whole 'actually she's a trained psychopath raised to kill the doctor'? #was the setup in her first appearance not enough? the tragedy and bittersweetness and all was already there! #why make it all so god-forsakenly convoluted? just for Mr. Showrunner to feel more Clever™ #either ignoring the nonsense of it all and vibing or enjoying more thoughtful and creative fan content is absolutely the way to go imo #anyways sorry for the doctor who brainrot and/or bad takes in the year 2023 #but the whole 'psychopath' idea? horseshit through and through jesus christ cmon #maybe later episodes that i havent rewatched yet help things make more sense in canon but thats a whole other problem re: showrunning
