#ace attorney tag #narumitsu #partial nudity / #2nd and 3rd things inspired by playing the first game and Uhh... why is phoenix accusing men of being lovers and being certain of it #and just generally containing the core of bisexuality within him #also there's that part i recall in maybe the..3rd game? where he's like Wow.. I'd Fall For Him Too... about that cinnamon swirl looking man #learnt lately that the writers upon learning that ace attorney was very popular with BL people immediately started reading BL #to understand the genre. i think phoenix would also do such Research in college. to Learn About People. About The World. #so now he feels that he has gaydar and is a good Ally etc. But actually maybe...you're also just bi too ! #too bad you'll have to get kissed by a criminal to work that out! Hang in there <3 #i reread my fic today !! I'm in the christmas mood now ! Sort of ! ooooh the 7 year gap.. at least we are in the 7 year gap years irl #Somewhere out there they ARE drinking wine romantically gazing at snow on a balcony in germany. thank GOD for that fr #so i shall be drawing things from THAT era next i need to depict men finally kissing NOW !!!!!! #can't do it with orufrey..can't draw cute happy romantic wintry art of them..didn't finish processing my current divorcecore arc era cycle

IMAGINE. working at ur stupid uhhh job or whatever. pulling into your drive way and ready to work on some crazy project in your garage. opening the door to the most unfamiliar silence. did your wife and kid leave for something? could you imagine knocking on your kids door, hardly getting an answer, and opening it to find the splattered remains of your wife across his room your child is scared! hes hardly consolable, in a state of shock and terror. you are too, but youre the adult here. you need to take charge. you need to protect him. you need to do something. you need to do something.

"Better than ever!" "Good as new!" Maybe if you hear it long enough, it'll start to sound true.

#dst #dontstarvetogether #dst charlie #dst mockingbirds #still don't know if they have a tag yet #dst a little drama #I Picked up a Pen (Art) #'i'll never have any time to draw now that i'm on a writing schedule!' *blinks and this shows up on my computer* 'uh oh' #anyways i've been thinking abt this for a while and i'm glad it turned out the way i wanted it to i REALLY dig this i think #i haven't drawn charlie out of msp in. god. maybe five years. idk how to draw her #alt caption was 'if the mirror's in tact then why is my reflection still shattered?' #but i wanted to harp on my favorite birdies so. #no little birdies i really don't think shes good as new her jaw is gone

his default recall is so cool..........

#not me arts tag #ive never used his default skin so i didnt even know what it looked like until now....ough #i wish u could mix and match sounds or recalls with skins................ #i honestly forget half the time hes supposed to be like. Cool and Suave and a Competent Badass #because my brain is always like. god hes so small and floppy and will die if you breathe on him wrong #also hes always crying and breathing heavily in my ear so im just like. poor guy #he should be at the bed taking a nap not fighting....... who made him fight.... stop that he doesnt belong on the battle field #he might be a badass hitman or smth but my brain is like #this is just a sad theatre kid who took gymnastics #''aphelios how is your assassin training going'' aphelios who has only been reading the acrobatics textbook: my what #is there anyone still reading these tags. hi there #i have a lot of thoughts on him. im very obsessed with his animations #like he has a laugh animation for every weapon....... #all the various weapon animations... #maybe the real reason we wont have a legendary for 10 more years is all the animating they have to do #i mean his base animations are so good id honest be like OK if they reused them #cant rly do much better than already Top Tier animations #unless we get an alune legendary..... #hope alune is super awesome and badass and all the aphelios voicelines are a really shy awkward guy or smth #like you look so cool and awesome fighting and the whole world doesnt know ur listening to a lil guy in your brain the whole game #the contrast would be very funny methinks #if anyones still reading this. yes i know riot made up some reason about budget or whatever for voices #but i choose to believe aphelios is head empty no thoughts and thats why he doesnt talk to alune #(STILL GOOFY OF A REASON... lots of VAs can do both genders of voices.... like. what about kindred and kayn....) #then again wouldnt be surprised if they were overbudget on the animations but still smh my head into oblivion #can relate to a guy who simply doesnt wanna talk #(said after 10000 tags of talking to myself) #i should really put my thoughts onto a separate post or blog or something #anyways have i mentioned i think hes really cute

okay, so, I've collected a bunch of DP fandom stuff that I remember off the top of my head, specifically in chronological order & colour coded here in this post (fics/comics, tumblr posts, important imo) for no reason other than I saw a post asking for Phandom history & it triggered my biggest, most long-running hyperfixation & now I'm curious if anyone else remembers stuff.

this link is going to be the permanent version I will be updating, but I'm posting what I currently have (gonna go through my old laptop later for more) just to let people know. you can also find the link on my blog, but only on desktop. It isn't colour coded there, sorry.

please share more if you got anything else cuz I'm 100% sure I'm missing a lot of stuff & am too interested now. the biggest reason a lot of stuff isn't here is that I simply can't find it. second biggest reason is i forgor. things not included here aren't "unimportant," this is just the first stuff that comes to mind.

#Danny Phantom #Phandom History Archive #do you even understand how hard it was to find the original Wes post???????? #i spent like 2 hours on that alone #Wes Weston why are you so hard to find #just realizing that a lot of shit happened in 2014 #like. 2014/2015 ish #i joined somewhere between 2014 & 2016 so i guess i literally came here right at the peak of phandom activity #the height of tumblr's paranormal activity. you might say #i think i'm just biased though #should i put my own fics on here. Phantom is pretty important to me being my first DP fic #& also the thing that got me back into writing #it's not very good but by god if i dont love it. & anyways i put Bird AU on here lol i think i can put Phantom up at some point. as a treat #also if any links are broken tell me cuz i'm not checking them again. it's 4am #reminder: gotta find those Bird AU fics i read & put em here. there ARE actual Bird AU fics. i know there are. i did not hallucinate that #it just might be the hardest thing on earth to do since that was years ago & i have no idea what they were called #anyway gonna add a fuckton of fics & (hopefully) tumblr posts when i go through my old laptop. i got everything bookmarked on there #like. so many fics. i had them organized too based on what kind of fic it was. but they all have stupid names cuz i was like 15 #me: i should do my stencil art today. just to be a bit productive & also maybe make money #my brain: what if you organized Danny Phantom fandom posts into a big archive for people to look at? for free. until 4am. #me: you know what that sounds so much better let's do that

the thing about me liking genshin is that i go through this period where i dont actually like it or play and i mute every word about it and unfollow blogs i used to get content from and stuff but then the game comes out with another banger whether that be the music (they never missed with this tbh but theres only so much spotify/youtube can do than hearing it yourself), gameplay, lore or characters

so i painstakingly unmute and refollow each thing... its like a walk of shame except i subjected myself to this

#aishi.txt #my fault guys #this game is good i swear its just INANE how i enjoy it so differently from everyone else #(ie. lore and character analysis is put in the backseat in most discussions..) #((this is why i gravitated toward persona because it satisfied my thirst for character-driven stories hundredfold)) #and also the company does weird things #like put my favs in the back burner where they get to shine only once every 2 years or something <\\\3 #BAD. #BAD COMPANY. DONT DO THAT im a fan of ur game this isnt fanservice #kamisato ayato.... where is my wife #anyways yeah i enjoy this game but in a sillier way than everyone u can count on that 🫵 #SO... i hope yall dont mind the occasional gnshn i swear i'll space it out between persona stuff too #god forbid i abandon all my persona brainrot its been in my head for too long i cant waste them #i cant waste the shuake sloppy chu makeout art wips i have #so yeah #this is my truth ☝️

i think what upsets me most, besides the fact that this means no more accordion unless i somehow miraculously get it fixed, is that despite my best efforts to be careful and not mess up, i still managed to make a mistake and fuck it up. despite understanding and appreciating how expensive and valuable and fragile this instrument is, despite my best efforts to keep it safe and in good condition, i still managed to mess up and damage it.

like ... I just mess up. I have something nice, something of value, and I cannot seem to keep it safe and taken care of. things end up ruined. shirts get holes, dresses get stains, electronics get battery acid leaking or cracked, dishes get broken, book pages get torn or bent, trinkets get chipped, instruments are bonked and rattled. i am so terrified of handling anything that things most often just stay sitting in lidded bins so they are safe from carpet beetles and dust and dirt and food and me.

i just feel awful, i dont understand why I can't just keep things safe and in good condition ?? why is this so impossible for me, especially when i care so much ??

#i think this is partially why i dont allow myself any good art supplies #I got a set of charcoals several years ago and I've barely touched them bc im terrified of fucking them up #but if i get smth from the dollar store? that stuff is getting used immediately #bc its cheap and its not very good quality #im not afraid of using things up. im afraid of ruining them #im such a careful person too but i just. always end up fucking up some time #idk what is wrong w me #this sounds so melodramatic but god im tired #i still feel sick that my nice shirt from the 70s got a tiny hole burned into it bc of fire sparks that i didnt know were around #like i just. cannot have nice things idk. i have the absolute worst luck it seems like. or maybe i just am not careful enough #idk how to be any more careful though honestly fhfkdl #like i either keep things stored away safely sealed up or i am exceedingly careful in handling them #and do everything i can think of and find out to make sure nothing happens #and yet ! #i just feel like a massive idiot for this idk fhfmkl silly me to think i could be trusted w this instrument #there are some websites and videos teaching ppl how to fix accordions but... its complex #but i either attempt a fix myself or never play it again bc getting a professional is too expensive #so ... i guess I'll have to take the dive and tinker w it if i want even a chance at playing again #im just terrified I'll break it even further #also i dont think i have access to everything I'll need for fixing it depending on whats gone wrong #so idk if it'll even be possible even if its doable like. i need Tools and leather and felt #i have spare leather scraps but no felt :| #and no special pliers fjfkdl #argh argh im so upset w myself for this #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

Are we journaling for our mental health? To stretch our personal writing muscles? or for a secret third thing??? (brain exorcism)

#ramblings of a lunatic #idk why the post is underlining brain exorcism. that's strange #anyway i feel like my presence on my own blog (MY OWN HOUSE!!!) has just gradually receeded more and more the past few months #I've posted and i rb plenty but i feel like I'm Speaking less. if that makes sense #I'm obviously not going to make 'posting more' a new years resolution or anything good god. no #but also ...this is my house like i said. ok i do actually have my own living place these days but this is my little digital house #I've been saying this for uh. months now but god i need to post art again even in a big ugly sketchdump I'm so backed up it's criminal #the journaling session mentioned above got me thinking about. yknow. The Horrors again #thinking about what i actually long term want out of things and how i feel about myself and my art #nothing profound nothing concrete. just got me thinking #wish i coulf start on the radical journey of rediscovery asp but unfortunately i have college essay due in. days

[ivyithink]

i am forever thankful that in tlk religions and beliefs seriously influence actions and views of the characters, but all seemingly mystical and supernatural things have logical explanations, making the world grounded in reality and viewing experience a lot less confusing

that said, i am a complete hoe for some scary supernatural religious horror imagery, so yeah

#my art #my doodles #is this even anything??? #content that caters specifically to myself and literally no one else #this is the most ‘purely vibes’ shit i’ve done #enjoyed it a lot #listen everyone knows you’re not supposed to have a favourite child #but alfred is absolutely god’s most favourite beloved little boy #he is kept alive through all the horrors just to suffer #that’s love #poor traumatised uhtred who was passing by the chapel at the most unfortunate moment #starts to shake and blanches every time some dane launches into their ‘weak saxons and their weak christian god’ speech #anyway #there’s quite a lot of stuff here and i hope it’s overwhelming in good way (i want to look at the details and find those fucking barely #visible angel wings) and not in a bad way (christ why so many colors!?!eyes #!?!) #sorry for the slight vikings drag there #i’ve seen like three and a half seasons years ago #but that was enough to get annoyed by the constant ‘are religions and supernatural things actually something that happens and has #consequences or what???!’ question #i don’t mind that in my media #obviously #i just need to know the rules of the world you are building #ugh anyway #still miss athelstan though he was an interesting character to follow #and just a sweet little boy which is always a plus #the last kingdom #tlk #tlk alfred

counting the fucking days

#note to self never tell my mom anything ever #i have an ap art course next year and the summer homework is that we have to keep a sketchbook #and so my mom took that to mean that i have to give up digital art for the whole fucking summer #and every piece of art that i do on the ipad instead of the sketchbook she gets on me for #bitch i guarantee you that it’s not as big and important as you think it is #in fact i know that it’s not that important!! bc my friend took the same class and said that you literally spend the first day on it #and then never talk about it again #i’m still gonna do it bc it’s good practice but still. #she’s making too big of a deal out of it #i also got two hours of sleep last night #and when i told her she just blamed it on the fact that i took a nap yesterday and that’s why i couldn’t sleep #like?? ok i get that??? #but that’s also not something i can control??? #like if i’m exhausted then i’m exhausted and i’m going to sleep #i just want some fucking sympathy not a giant lecture where you make it into who’s wrong who’s right #just so you can feel better about yourself #god i just wanna be out of here #idc how i get out i just want out of this hell #k.txt #vent tw

ANIMATION IS NOT AN INFERIOR MEDIUM ANIMATION IS NOT AN INFERIOR MEDIUM ANIMATION IS NOT AN INFERIOR MEDIUM ANIMATION IS NOT AN INFERIOR MEDIUM ANIMATION IS NOT AN INFERIOR MEDIUM ANIMATION IS NOT AN INFERIOR MEDIUM ANIMATION IS NOT AN INFERIOR MEDIUM--*I am forcibly removed from the building*

#'wah why are the only recommendations I get when I say I want this type of storytelling device animated things' because they're good #next question. watching an animated piece of media won't kill you or rot your brain I promise #I mean...I think it's good to have a wide breadth of things you read/watch/etc. so I'm not saying LIMIT yourself to animation #but I don't think you should discount it either. all forms of art are valuable. because they're a form of art. like...my god #I did NOT suffer through 5 years of music school to be okay with any sense of artistic elitism #(yes I am pulling out my 'professional musician' card. if you wanna be petty then so can I.) #anyway go watch noir 2001 maybe you'll feel better :)

me: *desperately needs praise for the work i do or i will shatter from the heartache*

also me: *at least once a month cries and shatters from the heartache bc i'm convinced every single bit of praise i ever get is either a lie just to be nice, or misguided bc they don't realize i'm a fraud*

#i'm starting school this autumn (studying music) and for like this entire year i've been having a crisis every other week #about how i don't rly belong at the school and don't deserve my place there and how i will fail at everything #and i'm too stupid to really learn anything and if they haven't before now everyone will realize i'm just average at best #and i should quit music all together bc there's nothing that i can do that someone else can't do better and i can't get anything done anyway #and i'm an idiot for ever believing anything nice people have said about me bc either they were lying or they just didn't know better #and i'm pathetic for thinking that i could ever employ myself in the arts #and god i would say 'why am i even trying' if i was trying at all but i'm not bc i'm fucking lazy and stupid #and i should quit while there are people who still live in the illusion that i'm good at something so they won't see the truth #i'm self centered and self obsessed and a fucking moron for creating this false image of myself that's competent and good at things #i'm living in a big fat lie and we're all just waiting for the lie to start to fall apart and crumble around me #so uh.. anyway. didn't.. actually mean to go on a tangent like that #that's so me isn't it. fucking fishing for praise and reassurance like that. like a fucking idiot #sorry sorry sorry i'll stop now i'll stop i'll shut up #whatever. bye #eg posts

art commentary on a separate post because um. I'm balling and tucked into bed im so tired well um. funny how I had a hard time the whole time trying to get color balance right and how I color blocked everything and made shit look perpetually low brightness but there would be no point if I uh. raised the brightness anyway. I redrew the sketches so many times until I stopped getting mad and THEN got mad trying to paint it because I hate myself apparently.

^ world's worst workflow but um. anyway.

it's funny because I realized the robe's inner sleeves look like bamboo BAHAHA I have to do something about that. I told myself wow I love this angle I don't have to do the herringbone pattern. but here we are. also there's this equal exchange that I can't do nice portraits when it's not cropped to faces so um. fuck it we ball. the joints are sloppy because I finished it with a pen tablet when I had to transfer to the laptop and I uh. just viewed like two picture references and went insane. the hair was fucking killing me the robe was killing me I hate painting for real I don't know where light comes from and where shadows go and um. that's the point of art I think. making illusions with whatever you have it's literally just colors and lines and patterns and shapes messing with your head until you get something that resembles. SOMETHING. then my signature one thousand million filters to cover up everything else I didn't render properly because that's how. I do everything apparently. whuh.

#kommento #arttag #boot.tingting #// yknow I screamed when I was so fucking stupid and exited the program and CONFIRMED to exit without saving #// kai moeru fucking clown moments but um. I didn't lose a lot anyway but if I did I would've just stopped then and there. no 320 for me #// well um. shoutout to my bestie for holding a light in the back to justify why I did everything like tgat goodness gracious. #// like Beyonce and the ds touchscreen............... #// this experience really taught me a lot and I'm glad I'm taking a bit more time with my art and learning things 🎉🎊 #// and um. how do I close this. happy 2 and 2/3 year anniversary to me and this silly silly gas station #// thank yuo to all my customers and supportsers and coworkers and lovers this is to another fruitful year and may we all #// congregate again to hear god's spiel and fistfight at the gas station ⛽👊✊🤜🤛
