Hey guys! I did something! It’s a portal from Danny Phantom (personal interpretation), and the resolution came out shitty in the photo but oh well. This was an experiment for me, both in terms of style and in medium. I usually do either watercolor or pencil, and tend towards a less cartoonish style, but I got some new acrylics as a present and thought that I’d try them out! I’ve never really used acrylics before, so it was fun (can you tell that I kept forgetting that I can’t re-wet the paint to blend it more like with watercolors?). I also tried to have some fun with texture. Anyway just thought I’d share :)

#Danny Phantom #portal #art #acrylics #why does the photo look so weird #It’s not that dark in real life #Did y’all notice the amity park sign?#I looked it up and everything #I’m not sure that I really like this painting but it was fun to mess around with a different style and medium

We came to a young world. We came to a world of raw, elemental wonder. Of chaos and exultant passion. Of energy vaster, and more potent than anything we beheld in the cosmos... It doesn’t seem like it’s random or chaos. It just seemed like potential.

#critical role #criticalroleedit #critteredit #aabria iyengar #brennan lee mulligan #matthew mercer #cr exu #cr calamity #cr2 #cr3 #basil.gif #long post #it's about magic it's about potential it's about life it's about stories it's about exandria being a beacon it's about let's do it again #i mean it's also my thoughts on how the luxon maybe made leylines when they impacted/scattered #+ how cool that is when u examine the magic of exandria especially when u consider. luxon = leylines = ether = dunamancy = magic #(some quotes that Almost made it in were matt saying that all magic basically falls under dunamancy + the description of ether)#not to mention the tharizdun connections of a being of elemental chaos & what that could mean for the relationship between the luxon + them #and ruidus and exandria. i also have so many ashton thoughts re: elements + divine + being a fucking beacon but that's for another set lmao #also aabria's!!! dark motes of potential!! what's that about!! i gotta rewatch exu sdfjkh this was just everything off the top of my head #also real spiral shit here but the first person to officially find a beacon post calamity being named leylas. COINCIDENCE. most likely yes #also thinking about draconic being one of the like. languages of magic esp when you think about Elements. but i'm gonna stop now

Smell Check [Easy: Failure]

MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 1 (part 2 - part 3)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #disco elysium #MDZS Disco Elysium AU #So sad I didn't manage to get this comic out on the 15th (pd-mdzs's 8 month anniversary and DE's 4th year anniversary) but I'm here *now*#I have a very extensive and detailed MDZS Disco Elysium AU that I am Not Normal About.#I've seen a few other people point out the potential in a crossover (true) but they make the mistake in having it be set in 51!#A true crossover would take place closer to The Antecentennial Revolution!#Disco Elysium did not go that hard on its cool lore for people to only make surface level crossovers!!!#One day I'll write the fic or post my notes. I don't know who would read it but it tickles *my* brain and that's enough.#No spoilers for DE (here or in comments (please)) but please consider....Magpie Wei Wuxian B*) On his way to be an innocent.#I do think there is a good chance a chunk of the MDZS readership would enjoy DE but...it's also not a game I easily recommend #It's more of an experience you have to marinate over. It's dark in ways that are off putting to some people.#It makes you feel like a very bad person all the time. It gets extremely personal if you allow yourself to be honest in your answers #and it's also the game that saved my life. My life was truly forever changed after playing disco elysium.#If I recommend it to people it's a badge of the trust I have in you to appreciate something dear to me B'*)#If you decide to play: PLEASE go in as blind as possible. You will regret spoiling yourself.#edit: this is based on real disco elysium dialogue. HDB has many canon kinks but this is not one of them

#my hero academia #boku no hero academia #aizawa shouta #Aizawa fan art #eraserhead #so my favorite take on Aizawa's life post-UA is where he just. continues to spiral #after they graduate he continues to pull away from Hizashi and Nem until they hardly ever hear from him. it's like pulling teeth getting hi #on the phone and impossible to see in person. working himself to death in the underground hero world and making pennies #sometimes so deep in it that he has bouts of houselessness but refuses to ask anyone for help. for YEARS.#so when his friends finally pry themselves an opening they find him at rock bottom and are the only real reason he gets pulled out of it at #all to become the Aizawa we know in canon #he spends the next few years after leaving UA and prior to joining an agency as a self-described terrible friend and all he's good for is #being an underground hero so he runs himself down to do so #I love fics that focus on this era it's so good #they get Dark but that's how I like em #more of that please #and all of my Aizawa art adheres to this telling of his past #even in the Yabureme AU #(but not Immolation AU lmao)

community that has only seen themselves represented in a small handful of romance stories that aren’t explicitly about their real-world oppression, watching a new show or movie where they are represented in a romantic story that isn’t explicitly about their real-world oppression: getting a lot of “that other show with a queer romance that isn’t explicitly about real-world homophobia” vibes from this

#ofmd #our flag means death #good omens #good omens 2 #gentlebeard #blackbeard #aziracrow #txt #og #mine #listen i love pattern recognition as much as the next person but please. please.#the similarities between ed/stede and azi/crow are SURFACE LEVEL #the relationship dynamics are VERY DIFFERENT #one is opposite sides of a war and sworn enemies whose lives are dedicated to The Mission who accidentally fall in love #the other one is two incredibly lonely men who have never had a real friend meeting each other later in life and becoming instant besties #they’re not the same!!! AND THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!!!!!!!!#like do y’all really want all your queer romances to be the same goddamn dynamic over and over again?????#that’s stupid! you should want your diverse romances to be DIVERSE!!!!#go/ofmd both have fancy silly blond man paired with a goth who wears dark clothes #and they both had. very tragic end-of-season cliffhangers due to the blond man’s internalized emotional hangups #but stede/azi are very different characters. and it’s ed/crowley are also very different characters #and their romances! are very different from each other!!!!!#i GET why the comparisons are being made but man they’re getting annoying lol

Ngl today alone I have seen countless men who could easily play Rhysand if they were given violet contacts and bat wings.

In my entire period of living I have seen maybe one or two people that could MAYBE pass for Tamlin if they had makeup on.

I have never, ever in my life passed a man on the street who could play Lucien or Eris Vanserra.

#acotar #tamlin #pro tamlin #lucien vanserra #pro lucien vanserra #anti rhysand #rhysand is just so boring #the dark haired love interest can be found at your local supermarket #tamlin would need to be hunted down using the dark web #lucien and eris straight up don’t exist in real life #acotar headcanons #eris vanserra #pro eris vanserra

i never normally experience the maternal instinct except where small animals are concerned, but there is a regular at my café who looks so perpetually soggy and depressed that he provokes in me an almost uncontrollable urge to take him to the back room and feed him soup

#i've never met anyone in real life who looks so much like a cartoon of an exhausted person #he's maybe 20 something but he has got the dark circles and woebegone expression of a man who's lived countless centuries of agony #be shh now

I'm still so amazed at how far medicine has come for trans people... being able to take hormones and get surgeries that are life-saving and life-affirming are genuinely such amazing feats and I wish more people understood that. Like, even if those aspects of transition do not appeal to every trans person, it is still so important to recognize just how important it is that trans people have options.

If love were a language, it would be science.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #medicine is secretly a love letter to humanity #have been seeing a lot of people bashing so much trans-specific medicine and it honestly just fucks with my head #i would truly rather have a trans body that *looks* trans than to not be on this earth. trans medicine is life-saving #not recognizing that is blatantly biased i think #anyway yeah... ily medicine. it's been a long fucking ride and there's so much dark history surrounding you #but there are glimmers of hope #anyway this is why i want to get into a specific discipline like... love is REAL. RAAAAAGH

I'm really not a villain enjoyer. I love anti-heroes and anti-villains. But I can't see fictional evil separate from real evil. As in not that enjoying dark fiction means you condone it, but that all fiction holds up some kind of mirror to the world as it is. Killing innocent people doesn't make you an iconic lesbian girlboss it just makes you part of the mundane and stultifying black rot of the universe.

"But characters struggling with honour and goodness and the egoism of being good are so boring." Cool well some of us actually struggle with that stuff on the daily because being a good person is complicated and harder than being an edgelord.

Sure you can use fiction to explore the darkness of human nature and learn empathy, but the world doesn't actually suffer from a deficit of empathy for powerful and privileged people who do heinous stuff. You could literally kill a thousand babies in broad daylight and they'll find a way to blame your childhood trauma for it as long as you're white, cisgender, abled and attractive, and you'll be their poor little meow meow by the end of the week. Don't act like you're advocating for Quasimodo when you're just making Elon Musk hot, smart and gay.

#this is one of the reasons why #although i would kill antis in real life if i could #i also don't trust anyone who identifies as 'pro-ship'#it's just an excuse to shut down legitimate ethical questions and engaging in honest self-reflective media consumption and critique #art doesn't exist in a vacuum #it's a flat impossibility for it not to inform nor be informed by real world politics and attitudes #because that's what it means to be created by human hands #we can't even make machine learning thats not just human bias fed into an algorithm #if the way we interact with art truly didn't influence anything then there would be no value in it #just because antis have weaponized those points in the most bad faith ways possible #doesn't mean you can ignore them in good faith #anyway fandom stans villains because society loves to defend and protect abusers #it's not because you get the chance to be free and empathetic and indulge in your darkness and what not #it's just people's normal levels of attachment to shitty people with an added layer of justification for it #this blog is for boring do-gooder enjoyers only #lol #knee of huss #fandom wank #media critique #pop culture #fandom discourse
