#When you just can't hold on

[lazylittledragon]

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024

#ramble #if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands #you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things #some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible #the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think #i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex #this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!! #how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about #yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian #you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art. #It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off. #Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways! #There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough' #only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize - #-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*) #And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans. #The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement. #I really can't describe how grateful I am. #Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out. #Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house. #But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants. #I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry. #Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

I saw the saddest little meow meow yesterday!! All I could think about while watching that version of Bruce is a. GIVE HIM A ROBIN and b. LET HIM MEET SUPERMAN

#the batman #the batman 2022 #battinson #bruce wayne #clark kent #dick grayson #alfred pennyworth #jim gordon #superbat #I fucking loved everything about this movie! the detective work #the costume #shy antisocial bruce who can't really hold eye contact #him helping with the evacuation in the end #bruce being a hot topic MESS #I am sorry but I love one (1) messy man who has to fight the tears when he drops his ice cream #also bruce honey I feel you with the not wanting to talk to people #peak relateable #also he is clearly not talking much in this movie because he just goes non-verbal from time to time #not because it's some kind of 'interrogation tactic' #GODS I love this movie #jesus it's 2022 and I'm back with the urge to draw superbat like i did. 5 years ago?? RENAISSANCE

People often bring up the omake No Respect Time to use as Crocodad Propaganda, and y'know, I think there might be just a smidge more the omake can provide to Crocodad than what people have already discussed in the past

Like everyone's seen the comparisons between Crocodile and the anime screencaps of Don Luffyone, we all know how the two look so similar etc etc. But honestly, the resemblance is even more obvious (and hilarious) when you look at the OG manga version (Sidenote but Don Luffyone is the only one who smokes cigars in the omake... Everyone else has plain ol' cigarettes... That sure was a decision there Oda)

And yeah, you might be thinking I picked this mangacap of Crocodile in particular because the resemblance is the most obvious here and I have My Crocodad Agenda to push etc etc. But I will have you know that the original omake was from Log Book 5, which was published February 28th 2006. Meanwhile that Crocodile is from the cover of chapter 398, published February 6th 2006. So these were drawn by Oda around the same time. I didn't just cherry pick this cover page because it's convenient for my evil agenda, if these were drawn around the same time then the likelihood the resemblance is intentional does legitimately go up a little. (Also since they're both drawn by Oda instead of random animators, again, it's a bit less coincidental and could be a bit more intentional)

But as I said, I think there might be more to the omake than that.

In the past people have also pointed out and joked how a mere few months before Oda revealed Dragon was Luffy's father to us in the story (post-Enies Lobby), in the Monster Time-omake Luffy was depicted as a dragon.

Needless to say, people believe this was intentional foreshadowing (/trolling) to the Dragon reveal by Oda-- if not it'd be one hell of a coincidence at the very least.

The reason I'm bringing that up is that if people think it's safe to assume Oda was hinting at Luffy's heritage in one omake by making him a dragon like his father, then why couldn't Oda do the same in another omake (by making Luffy a mafia boss who smokes cigars like his father)? Keep in mind that Monster Time was published in May 2006 (in Log Book 7), just three months after No Respect Time. So again, these are from the same era. To me, that just makes the resemblance between Don Luffyone and Crocodile seem even less coincidental

Oh, but there's one more omake I want to bring up.

So people do often bring up Nerd!Luffy's appearance in One Piece Gakuen spin-off manga, pointing out how much he looks quite a lot like the Theoretical Child Oda gave to Crocodile in that one SBS. Yeah. So. 'Bout that.

There was this one omake called Red Hair of Class 3-Sea Time, in which Luffy was a loser ass nerd. And man, that resemblance

Like it's one thing when a spin-off manga drawn by a different artist does A Thing. It's another when Oda himself does it

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Crocodad #Sir Crocodile #3rd Year Class is from 2007. Can't remember what year the SBS Child is from but I'm guessing long after 2013?? #Point is that I would considder the Theoretical Child the weakest piece of Crocodad Propaganda #Also just to re-iterate: even if Crocodile wasn't Luffy's other dad I'm sure Oda knows who Luffy's other parent is and what happened to 'em #Like it doesn't matter if it was some random chick who fell down the stairs or was kidnapped or whatever #It doesn't matter if Luffy's other parent is relevant to the story or not; I'm sure Oda knows The Truth himself #But also Crocodile's always been relevant in the story around the same time the rest of Luffy's other family is relevant to the story #You know what I might actually save these thoughts for a separate post hold on #POINT IS THAT THE FACT THAT THE TWO OMAKE ARE FROM THE SAME TIME #AS WELL AS THE TIME WHEN DRAGON AND GARP WERE REVEALED TO BE RELATED TO LUFFY #THAT'S A SUS COINCIDENCE. THAT'S THE POINT

continuation of this post (bird adeptus reader)

Foul Legacy is naturally bigger than almost all mortals, and some immortals, too- he's taller than both Shenhe and Ganyu, your sisters, and even towers over Cloud Retainer, human or adeptus form. really, you shouldn't feel bad about the size difference! it's normal, especially for an Abyssal creature!

but while your human form's height is relatively ordinary, your adeptal form is... small. as in, finch-sized. easily carried in a child's palm. it's also your most natural form, even after you master shapeshifting, so you often wake up as a tiny songbird nestled on top of your pillow, the rest of the bed empty- it scared Legacy at first, when you would seemingly vanish, but he quickly put the pieces together when the same small bird would keep showing up where you last were, chirping at him sheepishly and bounce around on the mattress. he simply chirrups back, extending a hand palm up so you can hop into it if you'd like.

as embarrassing as your adeptal form is, you'll admit that Legacy's hand is quite comfortable, especially when you nestle down and fluff up your feathers. he curls his claws in slightly so you won't fall, carrying you around your domain and letting you enjoy the sun- he knows the feeling of wanting to be in the form that's most natural to you for a few hours. it's what Ajax feels after days of not using Foul Legacy, the urge to transform and curl up amidst several soft pillows gnawing at his subconscious. sometimes, if he also wants to bask in the sunlight, he'll set you on his head, allowing you to nest in his soft copper hair as you take a nap together.

you apologize profusely once you transform back into a human, face warm as you bow your head. but Foul Legacy just purrs, leaning in to scoop you into his arms again and cradling your human self, giving you a playful lick on the cheek. don't worry- he'll hold you close always, adeptal or human form.

#cats #outing myself once again as someone whos not attune whatsoever to human culture but - in all honesty I do not know #what 'psspsspss' means despite loving cats my entire life hghj.. I've just seen people online describe that as how you call a cat #but I have never in my life witnessed someone call a cat by making that noise or made that noise myself. I can't even think of an example o #it so I genuinely don't even know what that's supposed to be but. Included because I've seen it so much it must be something to someone #even when I was a kid I pretty much always just meowed to cats and tried to sound exactly like them or whatever meow I associated with them #obviously not literally saying “ME OW” but doing an actual cat meow. often times a kind of 'prrrow' sort of noise where you trill your tong #ue then lead into a softer vocal tone .. maybe like 'mrrrrauh' or something? Or sometimes just a trilling chirp immitating the #cat's ''mrrrrp'' they do sometimes. I used to mimic small kittens to get the attention of cats #with their like very high pitches squeky whine with a little bit of air out the nostrils at the end to imitate the sound of them having #tiny lungs that don't hold much air so with a long loud 'mew' it's sometimes a little strained near the end #Though usually I just imitate the cat that I'm around at the time. Sometimes I have done kind of a combination kissy lip sort of noise #tongue clicking. almost like tapping on the back of your front teeth with your tongue and sucking in. almost makes kind of a squirrel noise #ANYWAY... curiouse....

"I want x spinoff, I want a book about y"

I want to meet the woman who had not one but TWO kids with Hermes. Two kids so close in age and are so alike people just assume that they're twins, two kids who are chaos personified, who singlehandedly run the camp shop, who are in charge of the biggest cabin at camp and look after their equally chaotic gremlin siblings plus every unclaimed kid at camp like Lou Ellen a daughter of Hecate and another being of chaos who learnt it all from them, and who take every opportunity to fuck shit up, to prank their camp mates or to steal shit. Their last name, which they get from their mama? Stoll by the way. Neither child notices the pun.

I want to meet Mama Stoll, who saw the chaos, who saw the bullshit Hermes brought into her life the first go around and said tonight's the night let's do it again. She is either the world's greatest cat burglar who enticed the god of Thieves or the messenger god was enchanted by the best god dam delivery woman on the planet. There's no in-between. It was just a bonus that her surname was the perfect pun. Her and Hermes laugh about it. In my head, it's all canon. Regardless, she unleashed two agents of unlimited chaos onto an unsuspecting world, and I love her for it. I take my hat off to her, I kneel before her.

Oh, and the oldest kid, Travis? He's dating a girl called Katie, who is the daughter of Demeter. Her last name? Gardner. Fucking Gardner. She has a sister called Miranda Gardiner, by the way. Mama Stoll finds it hilarious. Her sons still don't get the pun, but at least she gets on with her future daughter in law like a house on fire.

#pjo spoilers #pjo #hermes pjo #percy jackson and the olympians spoilers #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #travis stoll #connor stoll #the stoll brothers #katie gardner #miranda gardiner #tratie #travis x katie #katie is at college and dating travis in new rome you may argue to the wall #theyre canon to me #do not cite the deep magic to me witch i was there when it was written etc #riordanverse #but like they're perfect they're head counsellors together they have forced proximity slight enemies to lovers thing going on #he makes her laugh & have fun she relaxes him they bicker like an old married couple he lifts her up & spins her around just because he can #and because he likes holding her she pretends to hate it but she can't rub the smile off her face... they're canon to me ok #mama stoll #mrs stoll

bestie, idk who lied to you, but that film was never meant to be an eat the rich film. there is a huge difference between messaging and setting and I am begging everyone to understand that.

#Saltburn #sometimes #things can have rich people in them #and just be a pulpy gothic romance #and yes I know #the scary commoner turned out to be evil and brought down the poor rich family #I just can't believe all the fuss when Patricia Highsmith is RIGHT THERE #prolific queer writer telling almost the exact same story and everyone loved it #no one is holding the classism torch about Tom Ripley #please I beg of you #sometimes you really can just enjoy things or not enjoy them and move on #I stg a lot of you went into this film demanding it fit into the idea you got from the vague trailer #and then you refused to adjust your expectations when it wasn't that thing at all

is gemstuck sollux a fusion? :0

WHAT A FITTING ASK I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF DRAWING THESE GUYS!!!

yes, yes he is.

#chris doodles #homestuck #gemstuck #hs #sollux captor #i'm obsessed with them #was talking with a friend and we have their fucking entire story and vibe built out #in an episode like jailbreak #rather than how sapphire was kinda distraught and ruby was panicked to find her #bixbite and maxixe are both collectively like “i need to get out NOW before (other one) does because i REFUSE TO LET HIM HOLD IT ABOVE ME” #“HE CAN'T ESCAPE FIRST HE'LL HOLD THAT OVER ME FOREVER” #when they both escape the screen does a split screen and we see them running to try and find each other desperately #when they do #they rush at each other calling out each other's names #slamming into each other with something half between a headbut and a hug #one mutters to the other “i saw you first” the other says “i missed you” just as quietly #holding each other's gems as they touch foreheads #and theN THEY FUSE BACK TOGETHER!!! #he has this moment where he stands there and blinks #relishing in the moment #before summoning his visor and flicking it down like “alriight. back iin fuckiing buii2ne22” #stronger than you but its blackrom #instead of fighting jasper he fights eridan because fef and eridan are kinda the first antagonists to the group #and it gives SOOO much background for what happens with erisol later (i have a whole story for that fusion planned in my head) #anyways holy fuck #yeah im insane ask me more about them

i think it's interesting how you only finally get to go into kim's room at the whirling after the tribunal (assuming you successfully warn kim). there's no reason for it, they could've left it unrendered and kept you locked out, but they made the decision to allow you to go in kim's room. which is an interesting way to highlight the shift in harry and kim's dynamic post-tribunal. the bond between them is solidified now that it's been confirmed that they really would die for each other, not in a theoretical "it's his duty" kind of way but in the very real "our blood is mixed out there on the flagstones" kind of way. they risked their lives together and both survived because of the other. so harry can go in kim's room. kim is finally letting harry in, in a small but significant way. kim *truly* trusts harry.

#you can kinda feel it in the way kim treats harry in post-tribunal scenes #it feels like kim is not holding himself back so much. acting more authentically himself #how much of that is the concussion? who knows but it can't be all of it #disco elysium #harry du bois #kim kitsuragi #idk just a thought #it first struck me when kim was getting impatient w harry on the seafort #i was like damn i dont remember kim acting quite like this before #also the 'this is his attempt at a joke' stuff etc #just seems like after the tribunals events kims like okay. yknow what. yeah we can be friends #i can be a little less repressed. as a treat #kiwipost
