#Idk still kind of debating

[zarla-s]

So there's this meme on Twitter where you ask your followers what the traits of your art style are, then try to draw something without using any of those. So what I got was...

Thick, round, colored lines with line-weight

Soft blurry shading

Detailed eyes

Natural colors (not too bright/too dull)

Hands with rounded fingers

Detailed, wrinkled clothes

Limp thin hair

Round chin, round head

Detailed nose, lips

It was an interesting challenge! This looks super weird to me but I guess that's the point, haha. I dunno if I hit some points as much as others but I gave it a shot. Oh, here's the meme if you want to do it yourselves!

#smoker #ladyverse #z art #meme #the colors might be too bright i'm not sure #i also thought about some kind of background but drew a total blank on it lol #friend of mine said there's still some kind of zarla quality to it even if she can't put her finger on it #smoker always looking bored with her hand in her pocket! #maybe that's it idk #i debated both huge anime eyes and huge cartoon eyes #but both of those seemed at odds with detailed noses and lips so i went a different direction

Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader

He was just Simon to you. Just a neighbor at first. Someone you waved to at the grocery store.

Occasionally, you'd catch him sitting in his window reading a book and drinking tea. He was someone you wondered about.

Always had a hello for you, but you struggled to find a foothold for a conversation.

Then he invited you over one night for dinner. His house was not what you expected—filled with books and vinyl. The walls covered in framed concert posters, old oil paintings, and watercolors. There was an album on, low enough to talk comfortably over. It was there to fill the space. You were sure you recognized the beat but couldn't quite place it.

At the time, you didn't know that it was one of his habits. Fill his empty home with a soft sound to try to drown out the quiet.

Or his thoughts.

Where his thoughts drifted to in the silence when he was alone, you didn't know. Didn't talk about it, but you could make your own assumptions. As soon as you saw the scars, you had an idea of what kind of life he led before. But he never talked about it, and you never asked.

Thanks to @ohgeesoap for the inspo! And for listening to my nonsense on discord. 💙

I’ll be damned. They’re just people. SUPERNATURAL + HUMAN MONSTERS

#spnedit #supernaturaledit #corespnedit #supernatural #* #this was fun haha #also one of my fav kinds of episodes #humans are hell :) #also yes the wiki lists another episode as human monster but idk that gal was just trying to avenge her sister or something #also it didn't include 7.15 which i would still consider a human monster despite the demon thing #because he killed a bunch of people without supernatural help #i guess those two are up for debate but i don't think it matters that much lmao #*spnc #*fav #travelling riverside blues

some funny snippets of a tentative timeline for the reverse gondolin au

#silm #silmarillion #not art #reverse gondolin au #Gondolin-born Prince Elrond is a bit more active in numenorean politics #primarily attempting to keep them from self-destructing #numenor still Falls after sauron establishes his weird morgoth death cult #because having numenor around in the TA means there wouldn't be a war of the ring in the first place #but like 60% of them are still Faithful #they establish themselves in Imladris under Tar-Miriel & Elrond (Tar-hanotur? Tar-airatur?) btw #Prince Elrond is quite fascinating to write #also yes annatar is literally booted out under lomions advice #celebrimbor still struggles with his overly-trustingness #luckily for everyone lomion has no such reservations #lomion: tyelpe i know you dont trust yourself on this but. you trust me right #tyelpe: of course #lomion: okay then somethings up with that guy. get him out of your house asap #tyelpe: thanks will do #debating whether to kill off celebrimbor here? if he does die it would be in battle next to lomion so sauron doesnt learn of the Seven #also this tyelpe & lomion have been actively using the Three in battle since FA 500something #they're pretty experienced at the magical siege warfare stuff #so maybe celebrimbor makes it out alive but injured? #okay imagine a white council w assorted wizards; galadriel; cirdan; elrond; the numenorean king in imladris; lomion; and celebrimbor #i feel like lomion and tyelpe balance each other out well enough (lomion is still quite pragmatic but less actively distrusting than maegli #and tyelpe is constantly making an effort to be Wise and Understanding #he doesn't trust himself on big decisions bc of the whole feanorion baggage. but he does trust his bff lomion #so their dynamic is kind of like 'tyelpe has a Good Idea; lomion Validates his Good Conscience and figures out how to execute it' #btwn making the Three a few centuries ahead of schedule and them balancing each other out galadriel-and-celeborn-style they're kind of op #idk how sauron amasses that much power in the SA/TA of the au-verse

#i am only typing this because im tired and feeling more loosey goosey than i usually would i guess #but ive just been debating something for a while now #so basically i used to just openly talk about like. everything on this blog but then due to a multitude of reasons #i stopped posting about certain things 1. because irl people found my blog and probably still could if they Really tried #2. because i didnt want to post about certain things and have absolutely anyone know shit about me #like as much as it can feel like a cosy wee community. just me and my mutuals <3 etc. its like. actually the fucking internet djdbdjdhdhjdh #anyways whats prompting me to type all this is that i used to post kinda negative stuff on here i guess you could say. like just my feelings #and shit. but i stopped because i want this to be a positive blog and i do feel like you can manifest shit you know? if i constantly reblog #posts where im like “i feel worthless and i am a piece of shit” that isnt helping anything you know? i think what really hammered it home #for me is when i saw a mutual rb something from me like that and it made me so sad tbh. because like. no youre not. youre amazing and ily #you know? anyways. overall i think it has been a decision for the best and i enjoy that my blog has become a more positive space. but i #do sometimes just feel like im kind of going the opposite direction where i act a certain way when im really just. feeling crap. #like all the time. idk maybe tumblr isnt the place for it but it used to be my outlet you know? and i have other things like my diary and #art and even a sideblog lmao. but i guess i do just mourn my whole self not being on this blog. idk what im trying to say by all this #is it this deep? am i thinking about this way too much lmao. idk. idk. #le text post

frantically saving old art that i collected so far on the old hc fanart blog lol

#and kind of having a moral debate with myself whenever or not post them any internet archive at some point #a lot of authors either have unknown original platform or they are deactivated so i cant know for sure if its ok to post their stuff even #even if credited #and then there are also people who are still active #yeah idk lol #mauv's meowing

[lisbonsteresa]

yeeeah that's the good kush

#just want to sit in this moment; marinate in it a bit #i just love when they talk about justice and vengeance and morality and just stare at each other a little #(them at their most two/six tbh) #it's just a very evenly matched discussion and it usually doesn't actually go anywhere - neither of them convinces the other of anything #(at least at this point) but i like that too because you still see the effect they have on each other's thinking without spelling it out #on the other hand...i don't have a lot of 'wish they-'s for this show (ok that's a lie i have many) #but one of my most....personal? niche? idk is i wish there had been some sort of jane-lisbon bottle episode #(i wish there were many jane-lisbon bottle episodes tbh i love bottle episodes) #where they're just like...stuck somewhere together and they spend the whole time debating red john and justice etc etc #idk i just think it'd be neat #(and ok yes maybe it'd be even better if they were stuck somewhere like a closet and after the debate they're left with that tension #plus the tension that naturally comes when two people who kind of want to jump each other's bones get stuck somewhere like a closet) #but anyway--- #tm #(wow i used the word ‘just’ like 17 times here huh)

i'm going to see an apartment i really really like on wednesday (it is SO BIG! right in the neighborhood i like best! outside building is beautiful, on a tree-lined street, hardwood floors, so many windows!!) but i like. am trying to keep myself from getting too attached ahead of time bc it's just like a littleeee too expensive and i really should be realistic and get something about 100-200 dollars cheaper. but i love it soooo much, i want it so bad lmao.

#liveblogging life #it's a two-bedroom but it just squeaked within my budget #but plus utilities parking and pet rent (?) it'll be about 100 dollars over what i want to pay #and even then it's still on the upper range #like i can afford it - i double checked - but it means i'll have to be more careful with spending cash #and i'll only be able to put so much away in savings #idk man i'm kind of waiting until after i see it bc maybe i'll actually hate it in person #but it's going to be a serious debate on if i want to spend that much more on rent for a bigger beautiful apt #or if i'd rather save my cash on a smaller less beautiful apt so that i can buy other stuff and save for a house faster #bc like. i'm probably not going to move again for a while so wherever i go i want to make sure i really like it #and like this apt i have now i do really like but i did have to choose it bc i didnt really have any other options #whereas now i am pretty much an ideal renter so i think i have my pick of the litter so it means i can really afford to be choosy #idk idk this is stressful lmao #i have like eight showings scheduled for next week im hoping one of them seems like the one so i can go ahead and apply #also like if im going to end up spending so much on an apt shouldnt it be for an apt with a ton of amenities? like a washer/dryer #or balcony or community rooms or s/t. arghhhhhhh.

i srsly cant wait for tomorrow... i need my free pulls + colourfes

#tbh im still kindaaaaaa? debating whether or not i should pull on colofes #bc like. i want the cards!! shihoan lims *frothing at the mouth* #and on the other hand. im not quite at a spark :( im at likeeee 49k rn?? and u need 60k to spark with 10 tickets #so i dunno if ill be able to grind out like 11k crystals in the span of the banner #they are giving us the free 3900 which will be nice #and if i fc all the hard songs + ap all the stuff im missing then that shoulddddd be at least another pull #but id still need like. 7 or so thousand in event of that #which idk if i can do LOL #i might just pull anyways tho bc i dont really have any cards coming up in the near future that i NEED (i dont think anyways) #plus an & shiho are usually pretty kind to me (6 shiho 4stars including her colorfes which came home randomly) #(5 an 4stars one of which being her ny lim that came home on my last possible 10pull) #tbh im sorta kicking myself for impulsively pulling on random lim banners as much as i have (30 pulls on recent val banner) #(but i got val nene so its not all bad) #bc if i hadnt done those pulls i could defo spark #oh well ig we'll see #< sorry about the big ass paragraph this turned into i wasnt intending that 😭😭😭 #gacha game pull planning is SERIOUS

fighting for my LIFE with this "romantic attraction" thing

#in a new development i think i may be asexual? #i think i also might have romantic feelings for someone? #but i'm not sure #normally when i have a crush on someone it's kind of situational if that makes sense #but this guy is absolutely .not. someone who it makes sense for me to have feelings for and i sort of do anyway? #but again i don't really know if this is actual like romantic feelings #bc i feel like a lot of the time i just take a small thing and blow it up #almost like i'm acting into having feelings? i don't know #that's one of the things that's made me wonder if i might be aromantic #idk man #fucking confusing #the romantic feelings thing is pretty much practically irrelevant anyway #i'm just trying to like use it for introspection tbh #god i just wish that i could .talk. about this kind of thing with someone #like me having the same internal debates over and over again isn't going to help #i need friends smh #which ironically is another part of the problem WHICH i will not go on about here #obviously this is going on too much anyway and there's still so much more complicated about it so #yeah #boink

i feel like i watched a fully different barbie movie to you lot on here. even my mum said it almost made her cry. like ... it just felt empty to me in terms of politics. everyones talking abt the messages its sending or w/ever but it was just like . empty buzzwords. throwing the word patriarchy around like its a switch that gets flicked on and off. idk it just felt sooo far away from any of my actual goals as a feminist. spoonfeeding the most basic take of "being a woman is hard :( but also good :D" which like . yeah no shit. im supposed to find this groundbreaking bc someone in a movie says it? idk man .... and thats not even addressing all the gender essentialism lmfao

#idk like. obviously i know praxis neither begins nor ends with what movies you watch #but do you lot know that????? #my posts #ill probs delete this later lmfao i dont actually want to debate anyone im just confused #tbc i still enjoyed it!! the set design was rly fun n the costumes were great and i like the ken dance off and obvs the actors all #gave great performances!!!! it was fun it was sweet but like ... thats kind of all it was

Anyone else who went to highschool in the mid-late 2010s have to learn about a real life murder trial via a true crime podcast as an english assignment or was that just our school

#i can for sure see the benefits of using content like that to promote critical thought but it was also kind of weird in retrospect #we were like 16 LOL what the hell did we know trying to play detective #especially because one of the things we covered was how the family was against the podcast making the murder into a spectacle #like one of our assignments was to write a hypothetical reply to a real life reddit post that the brother made asking people to stop #like i totally get how it was helping our brains expand. i GET that. but it's weird that it was Real. i see the benefit of that too #but still weird #and honestly it didn't really ask us to engage with the idea of the ethics of it. at all. #we were pretty much just told to write a reply explaining to the brother why we shouldn't stop and why is not exploitative #(again these would never actually be sent anywhere they were just for our teacher) #so like. idk how critically we were really being taught to think ig #but I know that if it was a college level course we would have been expected to sort of debate it a bit more #to at least question if the brother had a point rather than just like. write what we were told. #at least I can be more critical about it in retrospect ig. at the time i was just trying to do the assignment bc i was 16

[napsaps-archive]

are you going to make a new blog? oh jo ;_; i'll miss you so much..

the original plan was to move to @realsapnapsnap and that's where im at rn but like full disclosure now that im thinking about it i could end up not really using it past today :/ im tired of being on this blog for various reasons and i want to start over etc etc but like recently ive felt like ive had to force myself to be here in general and it just hasn't been fun. that could change but i dont think it'll ever happen with this blog so. but yeah for now im just chilling over there :) however I probably will be way more active on priv it's where ive been hanging out recently and honestly i like it more so there's that

#i kinda think my hyperfix is dying . which like I'll always love dteam and sap most of all and im still interested in dreams music and mc #and like . their lives . but idk it's kind of on the back burner rn. and ive been debating leaving this blog anyway so im taking the #opportunity ! before i change my mind #ask #anonymous

this isn't a diss on anyone, it's just an observation of a general trend, but it's interesting how the notes in my post about scorsese's film foundation's free screenings of restored old movies are full of anti-marvel people, and i know this because so many people mention marvel when they reblog the post. it's interesting because it's part of a debate on cinema as art vs marvel as the star and symbol of movies as just another branch of capitalism, the crux of that debate being marvel's power to make itself dominate our view, earshot, brainspace etc. and then marvel keeps popping up in comments about fully unrelated things because they're the other side of that debate. i don't think this constitutes free advertising but that brainspace they can force themselves into? we're doing it ourselves now. i get the urge to say that stuff, i really do, but i'm not sure how the art of cinema can win against the omnipresence of marvel if efforts towards preserving and sharing it are a middle finger at marvel first and a world of cinema outside of it second. we need to be better i think. it starts with us

#once again this isn't directed at any specific people bc i've done my fair share of taking opportunities to trash marvel and the mcu #so i'm complicit in this too #but idk. i feel like it's important to be aware of them and how they do things in terms of being aware of that side of capitalism #but sometimes a good way to do our part in fighting it is to not think about them or consider them at all #if one of the big issues is that cinema outside marvel should be more discussed and appreciated and shared etc #then we should enjoy it for its own sake. enjoy the movies we like and learn about others for themselves instead of in opposition to themcu #idk if i'm making any sense but basically if you're against something being everywhere #and when you go outside of it you're framing it in your mind as Being Outside Of It. then it's still on your mind #it's still everywhere #if you frame a good thing as mainly opposition to a bad one to counter its massive power. you're still giving it power #part of me thinks none of this is that deep but with the levels of insidious propaganda marvel does and with the budgets they suck up #it kind of is #carolina talks #also everything i've said has nuances and different cases in other situations. i don't mean it as a blanket statement about politics #or whatever #i mean in the case of this particular debate this might be something to think about

I think I’ll be ending my lovewell legacy soon aaah

#it's been around since like sept 2020 and I was planning on doing more generations #but idk #I kind of want to start a new one #I'm still debating whether to make it apart of a challenge or just random like the lovewells #probably the latter... #it's ironic but I get more burned out sometimes w challenges?? #txt post
