#and have such great emotive potential

[canisalbus]

The way you draw hands, they are so expressive. So tender looking in their intent. I'm just in awe. I'm not a religious person at all but the first word to comes to mind when seeing the hands you draw is that they are somehow holy.

Aw geez anon, you're saying the sweetest things. Thank you!

#I know I keep repeating the same thing but I just really admire hands a lot and try to do them justice #they're so structurally complex #and have such great emotive potential #they're still challenging to get right but it's mostly the nice kind of challenging and not I-want-to-quit-drawing-forever challenging #in Machete's and Vasco's case I do my best to underline the differences in their personalities through hand gestures #I don't know how well that carries over but I think it's fun #in my head they have clearly contrasting body languages #answered #anonymous

telling myself i can't start another tdwt rewrite but dear god do i want to write one focusing on alejandro and courtney in this weird situationship thats a lot more nuanced than just alejandro manipulating courtney and her falling for it. like theyre best friends they dont trust each other theyre the same person they dont know anything about the other one theres a mutual attraction theyre pining for other people theyre codependent they dont care about each other theyre platonic soulmates like i just want to do a deep dive into how messy that relationship couldve been building off of their friendship that exists in my head except the line between romantic and platonic is so fucking blurred they have no idea what they are to the other person

#they live rent free in my head as you can tell #ive been writing some intense moments for them in amicus curiae and im having a lot of Feelings about platonic alecourtney #tbh the whole concept of them replacing the best friends has been a great avenue for me to do a deep dive into their friendship #aughhhh i just. love them so much #and i do want to explore them in a situation where there is relationship potential even if that relationship never actually happens #because everything between them during tdwt could be so MESSY!! #like alejandro says he's just manipulating courtney but he's also doing it to make heather jealous but he's also genuinely worried about he #after the duncan thing but this is the only way he knows how to express that concern without making himself look weak #meanwhile courtney is falling for the act but she also knows its an act and is going with it for the emotional support it provides and shes #just doing it to make duncan/gwen jealous but she also is starting to see the real alejandro underneath it all because he does care even #though he doesn't want to and they do feel a strong connection that they dont know whether its platonic or romantic because romance is bein #shoved down their throats on this show and theyre both in complicated romantic dynamics with other people that theyre the easier option for #one another but they dont really want to be with one another like it just doesnt feel right #okay okay i legit have to stop and go to bed but just. them. im thinking so hard about them #platonic alecourtney

raph was never any less suited to leadership than leo

raph was never any less suited to leadership than leo

raph was N E V E R any less suited to leadership than leo

idk how many times i can say it before it sinks in that in rise there was never once any point where that was the point being made

if you just like leo’s character better than you like raph’s, that’s fine! if you just like it better when leo is leader, that’s fine! i have no issue!

but we need to stop trying to circle that leadership change back to somehow being about better or worse or ~more cut out for it~ because it sucks to throw the great job raph did through the series under the bus in order to prop up leo’s good qualities. 

they’re both great leaders. they both have strong suits and weak suits in the role, they both have growth and development when they’re in that role. they BOTH make on-screen mistakes in that role and aren’t very good at it at first! not getting a more in-depth explanation about it in the movie or series stinks and it’s very interesting to explore, but seriously. 

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt raph #rise raph #like it's so...... #all of raph's growth as a leader and hard work at it was up and down about him growing as a leader #learning and adapting and incorporating things #when raph messes up the point is NEVER 'ohoho see he's just not as good at it or fit for it' #it's ALWAYS him learning something that he does better with next time #and in that vein leo showing those leadership qualities and potential! #is NEVER about 'oh he would be so much better at it than raph' #it's just about leo having that potential and that talent that went unnoticed! #and like. idk what to tell you leo was doing a not great job at start of movie like raph was doing start of series #if the point was always 'raph cant hack it leo was REALLY meant for this all along' then mayhaps... #one of the emotional high points and climaxes of the finale would not have been raph learning one more important lesson #and the team then fully unlocking the ninpo and rising to their potential #it probably would have been a finale arc about leo stepping up specifically in some way #and all this of course i say having put aside that leadership was never meant to be a big deal in rise anyway.... #pitting 2 bad bitches against each other like this for no reason like they're not both fantastic

had a day that made me think oh that was a bit heavy on the symbolism, wasn't it

#j. talks #went to visit my brother in his uni city and also connected it with an event there #I know this event because I went there once with a uni course that of course was with my fave former prof #so I know she's usually there but it's a bigger city and Friday and there are a lot of things at different locations #chances are not zero but I thought come on if anything it will be casual running into her #well as I was waiting with my brother and a whole crowd of people to be let in who do I hea #and see :))) yeah it's my fave prof. and I told my brother and he told me to go and say hi but there were so many people already talking to #her and also going there and saying hi so I simply couldn't. I literally froze our shoulders were nearly touching but she wasn't even facin #me and taking and I just followed my brother and he was like??? #what was that?? and I didn't know. and he asked my why I looked so shameful out of all the emotions I chose shame #and I don't know. I don't know why shame I consuming me no matter where I go. but she was busy and imagine I go up and she has no idea who #am anymore. they had to burry me right there and then. so that was that :) now #the name of that street of the location burned into my memory as I was facing the wall well it's the name of [redacted] who I never really #get over and it's been 10 years now soon. and we had a similar experience in December :) where I would have loved nothing more really than #to talk (in Decembar definitely also other things that I miss on some days very much) but I barely got a wave #so yeah :) I actually had a great day but I am more than overwhelmed. I feel like crying and hiding #taurus season is apparently not here to save me? idk #is this all about wasted potential and shame stopping me? maybe. but how the fuck do I get it out of me

#aotv spoilers #ok you’re asking for my opinions let’s do it #i love louis!!!! im so proud of him and im so happy i got to watch him on his journey for so long and can’t wait for what’s to come for him #and i think my love for him and for his music and for my time in the fandím and for one d etc is what makes this a good watch and why i #liked it because otherwise i have my reservations to the movie and im not going to get into the babygate stuff #apart from the fact that louis trying to get freddie to hug him was extremely awkward and ive never seen less organic thing than the beach #scene and i find it funny they tried to push that as organic so hard #my issue is that it just had a potential to be a much better film is all sksmsk #it is good but it feels a bit rushed and kind of cheap in some ways and i get that’s the style of these biopics sometimes but #like it was such a shame the bg music was not really gold and was always exaggeratedly emotional because it made it cheesy and cheap and #kind of forced #i think it would have a great potential to get many people to say wow this is a strong talented guy and i think it is a great intro but i #think they undersold the movie so it’s not going to have a chance to reach an audience much wider than his current fanbase which is a shame #for his current fanbase it is a solidification and reiteration of his promo season and it is very clear where they want louis to stand and #what they want his image to be like and i think it’s absolutely amazing how they managed to show his growth as an artist and as a human and #and place him in a position where he’s now confident and secure and ready to embark on a new journey etc. although for the fans there’s #nothing new there and i think it’s worth considering how exactly they’re portraying and that they completely left out his relationships #aside from his family and the band #i think it’s important that it was noted he was undersestimated and pushed down and i think they made obvious how much he’s worked on #himself #i think it’s kinda clear they’re using it as a faith in the future promo with the new songs even though the doc ends with the end of the #tour #i think it’s interesting how many rainbow flags they chose to include without addressing the way his shows and fanbase look at all because #if i were from Gp id wonder what’s up with that esp when he only acknowledged the kmm project again #generally i think it’s a good watch that’s very transparent in what it’s trying to do for louis promo and image wise and it doesn’t tell #you anything new but it reminds you why you love this man so much while also leaving you a bit disappointed because this had a much #greater cinematic potential and a lot of it feels either rushed or underfinanced or forced and that’s a shame

I may be considering the crime of... Getting a business degree 🤢

#i Like my new job where i get to play in excel all day and i also like having financial security for the first time in my adult life #i was originally thinking about switching my major to sociology bc its another area that im interested in #but my mom may have talked me into considering a business degree as an option since sociology isnt a great fallback option... #the thought of majoring in business makes me gag tbh. but i mean... i DO like data analysis and there IS a masters for data analysis #and the bachelors degree in information systems would teach me new things about computers which might be cool #and they have an international business program that links in advanced study of foreign languages and cultures #and theres even a certificate program for sustainability that includes direct work with grassroots programs #AND all of this is intentionally made to be accessible to people who are already in the work field so i wouldnt need to quit my job... #...all of this plus a sociology minor (or double major if i can pull it off) is starting to look pretty good actually #BUT... can i withstand the pain of spending the next few years in classrooms full of business majors 🤔 #real talk tho i was wanting to use my social work degree to go into policy anyways which could mean government OR corporate #...if i get a business major i could potentially speedrun the process of getting into corporate policy to make a difference that way #and my sociology minor (or major) would still support that #fuckin. trojan horse the companies i guess #i am rotating the idea in my mind with the emotional state of that gif of someone trying kombucha for the first time #rambling

I am tired someone come tuck me in for a nap

#all of my clients and my interns have been Going Through It today and it’s been A LOT of heavy emotions I’m helping them process #on top of that I’m worried about the government shutting down and me potentially having to stop working and not be paid for ?? how long #put a bottle of wine in the fridge for tonight and I’m going to order takeout for dinner #sometimes self care is drinking wine and crying over great British bake off

I started a new Starforged game this evening - my character is on an island and, for flavor, I decided to roll to create a cool alien creature that could live there. I didn't have any plans to necessarily include it in the plot, but I like to have animals and stuff for worldbuilding.

And then I rolled a luminescent crystalline whale. So obviously there now have to be crystal whale adventures of some kind.

There are many aspects of Starforged that make it my favorite rpg, but the ease with which you can swap back and forth between fairly grim scifi adventure and a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper cover is definitely in the top 10.

#starforged is great #and if you want to play a cool space rpg you should try it #my other favorite rules-as-written lisa frank starforged thing is the glowcat #which is an empathetic cat that changes colors depending on the emotions of the people around it #it is a rainbow moodring cat #you can just *choose* that as a thing your character has #(other potential pets you can have include a space rhinocerous #and basically the venom symbiote #because this game is fucking amazing)

[tchaikovskygay]

the nimona movie getting glowing reviews, im already crying

#how am i meant to go two weeks #HOW am i meant to watch this on my laptop at my parents house #these emotions are too big #i followed update to update for almost two years and now this? im supposed to stay sane? #impossible #it could have been terrible and id be thrilled #but the audacity of just the potential to be great #im a mess over here already as you can see

[enavant]

saw the quote ‘you don’t have to help everyone just because no one helped you’ n thinking about isu n how hard this hits because they are very much like that they decided they will be the one to help others because they know how it feels to be lost and alone with no one to come to their aid all their life

#[ i’m sorry for always spamming dash with my dumb thoughts i simply have no one to tell these silly things to n i need to write them #or i perhaps may perish i feel so sad about her again lmao ] #[ dead weak for the themes of no one’s going to save me so i become my own hero n just someone needs to stand up for those who can’t stand #for themselves n it’s a big part of her character she doesn’t want anyone to go through what she did even if eorzea is actually an awful #place i think that gets glossed over a lot honestly ] #━━ ❥ headcanons » #[ she’s so strong with the ‘people can do bad and still change’ themes because she wasn’t great before she’s kind now but god she didn’t #used to be n just she changed if someone has the potential she will protect them n give them chances ] #[ thinking sm about this all n making me emotional ]

[bumblingbabooshka]

I just think this should have been brought up at least one time in canon

#bee doodles #uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah #Tom and Tuvok both being pressured into joining Starfleet has angst bonding potential #Tuvok admits to understanding Tom's father issues in a moment of vulnerability but saying that he's been able to move past them since then #'How?' / 'We had the benefit of time.' #Tom hates his dad he doesn't want him in his life but he also wants him to be proud of him - 'isn't that fucked up?' / 'I do not think so.' #Tuvok says he also was...conflicted. about what opinion he held of his own father for many years. #Tuvok's rebellious teenagehood made him eager to please him but that was not enough for him to be able to endure being in starfleet - living #according to how his father wanted to him to live...it was stifling. #Tom nods. He understands that. He pauses. He says he wishes he could have said /any/ of this to his own dad. #Tuvok just looks at him as Tom begins to cry. 'He used to tell me not to cry you know.' #Tuvok is curious about that. He thought humans encouraged emotions within each other? Tom laughs. 'Yeah. Not my dad' #Tuvok says that the release of negative emotions through non-violent physicality can be euphoric in humans. #'Are you telling me it's okay to cry??' / 'In so many words.' #Tom laughs and Tuvok goes quiet - it's a nice moment #I also think Tom could come to Tuvok with worries about how he'll be able to be a dad when he had no good role model for it #Tom thanks Tuvok and says he's sure he's a great dad #'A baseless assumption considering you have never met my children.' / 'I can just tell :)' #Tom Paris #Tom Paris art #teen Tom Paris #teen Tuvok #Tuvok art #Tuvok #st voyager

I bring it up because I just wanted to know no I can be proud of Daigo too!!!

i think it's ok to be proud of daigo dojima for getting this far with The Nastiest deck of cards he was dealt :) good for him :)

#snap chats #real shit tho #like first his parents are negligent if not potentially abusive #then his dad dies and listen Sohei Was Uber Cringe but still youre always gonna feel weird bout bad things happening to your parents #well not me my mom evil im built different but this aint bout me anyways #then daigo goes to juvie because he didnt know how to manage his emotions well and took it out on a baseball team #then he just wanderin the streets trying to fill the void until he gets sent to prison under false charges #and as soon as he's out BOOM. Do You Want This Burning Organization #GG he seemed just fine running it for three years but then Politics Happened and he Got Shot #lost his bestie (after bestie got guilty bout wanting to 'mercy kill' him) #and then not even a year later The Burning Organization is bankrupt because UNFORTUNATELY bestie was a GREAT accountant #and bros scrambling hes trying and he is fucking up but hes learning #Kinda he did run off in Y5 to make up for the whole baseball thing. not throwing hands with a baseball team- ok partially that kinda #and then he GETS SHOT. AGAIN. #then he got sent to jail in 6 for false arson charges... son please stop getting false charges... #and after his New Dad Number 3 'dies' he and his homies gotta get outta town less than a year later cause some twink said so #and THEN he gotta dissolve That Burning Organization and find everyone a new home and new way of life #and would ya look at him... he's still going strong.... im so proud of him and the fact he's not dead yet #tl;dr im very proud of daigo dojima even if he does silly things sometimes its honestly relatable #hes trying to hard to navigate this new path himself- not because he doesnt have anyone to help him (ok partially that) #and he just wants to prove to himself he's capable of doing this and he wants to make kiryu proud and do him right #UGH i love him.... im so proud of him thats all i can say i love him

[pinkcadillaccas]

Actually not miserable anymore I'm so annoyed that I'm in the minority with wanting the show to have a dark tragic twisted ending. Sorry that I love putting them in situations!

#like yeah i like these characters i think they deserve good things thats why it so scratches my brain when it doesn't #you get to think about all the lost potential and its so good! #and those endings are always clever! #like this is sbout supernatural but i think Torchwood is such a good example #because if ianto hadnt had such a tragic ending his entire plot would be so much less interesting #because hes such a great character that i love! #and without it we wouldn't have some of the greatest abd most heartwrenching stories of all time #in the radio plays #like sorry i dont like to mollycoddle my characters i like to put them in torturous little situations #because i like them! #that makes me emotions! #except cas actually dont put cas in situations hes been in enough situations now

I got to this part of the VN this week and it sniped me so good I yelled about it for approximately two hours. There's so much in these three screenshots.

#filed under 'god i fucking love gilgamesh' #it's 7am and i have a lot to do today but #he loves humanity. he does. he freed them from the gods and he saw their potential thousands of years after he was to die #and there he is eras after his own death and what's humanity up to in his eyes? well not fucking much and also he's stuck in a bug basement #he's missing the bigger picture and also he's being very radical about what he wants to do about it but. fuck #at its core extremely misguided or not what he does is out of love for humanity #back when i first saw his alignment i was surprised to see he was chaotic GOOD #when i was expecting chaotic neutral #but this right here this mentality he's had all along is why #there's worth in humanity #also filed under 'ah fuck i wish he had a role in the lostbelts in fgo' #he stars in enough fate works that he doesn't need another main story spotlight #but a storyline about believing the world is worth saving even if it costs great sacrifices and even if it's flawed? #well he'd know about that wouldn't he #fate #look i'm being emotional here and the emotions need to go somewhere

I randomly re-watched ”The Curse of El Guapo” today, and no wonder Gabe is my favourite character.

#Personal #This episode is such a great combination of comedy and feels #It IS hilarious #but also so heartfelt and emotional #For me at least #The concept of El Guapo is just extremely fascinating and he deserves his own TV series #Blue I don’t know if you’ll see this post but just know that I think more of him thanks to you #And also Gabe and Fuego’s duo???? #Why did they just stop including Fuego in the next episodes it’s unfair 😭 #And Rico’s father is regimental sergeant major???? #Which means Avaloran guard is actually more expanded and is not limited by four freaking ranks???? #What is wrong with their system 😭 #I want nononono I NEED more of Antonio Sandoval #This man definitely has got a mysterious backstory #I SAY so #But really this is one of the funniest episodes EVER #Guapo’s expressions his and Gabe’s dialogues GABE’S HAIR FREAKING CHANGES ITS DIRECTION WHEN GUAPO TAKES OVER HIM #Have I already mentioned that I LIVE for Gabe’s origins #For real #It has so much potential and it was shown SO well in this episode #WHY IT WASN’T BROUGHT UP AGAIN I SUFFER #And that scene of Gabe opening up to Elena lending his hand to Rico and promoting to captain???? #THAT RELIEVED PEACEFUL SIGH WHEN ELENA PROMOTES HIM #I’m emotional 😭 #I can talk about this episode endlessly and I’ll never shut up about how much I love Gabe #He’s so good he deserves the world #Btw I was watching this ep in Russian and I totally forgot how the intro sounds akajankskdkkd #intro: ‘выросла принцесса здеееесь’ #me: ‘ЛОЯЛ ФРЭНДС АР ОЛВЭЙС ЗЭЭЭЭЭР’ #Anyway I have my exams super soon so I need to fill myself with positive emotions and EoA is a great help for it <3

so I'm thinking about Gwash and Rachel

#sorry they just give me Emotions™ #like they would have been great for each other. they WERE great for each other!! #it only lasted three weeks they barely knew each other but somehow they also knew each other too well #there was potential there. the possibility of love #and then it was gone #brb going insane #gwash (my emotional support fictional dad) #miss rachel faucette (my beloved) #rayrambles
