#but I certainly enjoyed myself

[avalencias]

Imogen twists her hands together, leather brushing against scars through the still-gaping slash in the palm of her glove. She needs to have that mended, once she can explain to Laudna what happened to it. “It’s supposed to be a promise,” she says.

hello friends! @overnighttosunflowers wrote this amazing fic until the mosses take root in thunder which has sat in my brain asking me to draw it since I read it. work being what it is, it took me until now to finish but…I hope you enjoy 🥰

#critical role #imogen temple #laudna #southerngothic #imodna #my things #just in time for the m9 hiatus too lmaooo #ok I had to take some liberties bc I’m actually not great with comics #but I certainly enjoyed myself #I had other words I think but I finished this at some point last night so I’m comfortably in bed rn

“May I hold you?” you ask Jing Yuan one afternoon as you lie sun-warmed in his garden. 

You almost think he is asleep until he invites, “Please,” carrying a smile in his voice. 

With ginger movements, you reach over and place your hands on either side of his face. It begins as mere holding, but soon you find your touch roaming. You smooth your fingers over his eyebrows and trace down to each side of his jaw. From here your hands climb up again, and once more back down, mapping out each crevice and dip of his face, his skin, his bone, until you are certain there is no part of him remaining that you do not know better than you know yourself.

You play this game with yourself, sometimes. You imagine people not as people, but as planets. After all, what is a person anyway, if not a world of their own? You trace the ridge of his nose, and imagine there lies a mountain range. Around his eyes you find oceans. Where his cheeks dip, there are valleys, and a river runs between his lips.

“What are you doing?” Jing Yuan asks. There is an element of amusement to his question, but his voice is primarily gentle. Endeared.

You still your hands. They rest on his cheeks while your thumbs brush back and forth over his skin, holding him. Though the world melts back into the familiar shapes of his face, there is still an assured sturdiness to his features which is grounding; a gravity which draws you towards him, as if you were the moon to his planet. Small, perhaps, and bare, but casting light on him wherever you can.

You answer, “I think I’m holding the world in my hands.”

You feel Jing Yuan’s smile through the way his cheeks press into your palms. Two hands cover yours, large and calloused, but gentle, and hold yours securely in place against his face. There is the tender press of lips to your skin as he turns his head enough to kiss the inside of your palm.

You hear Jing Yuan’s smile through the way his words come warm and bright and filled with adoration. You wonder why you thought him a planet, when he is so clearly the sun.

“And I am being held by the universe.”

#i’m sorry i don’t know what this is #it’s past midnight and i needed to get this brainworm out #my thoughts are literally comprised of jing yuan these days and i don’t know how to fix it #enjoy this random and hopefully not-too-pretentiously-written drabble i suppose #(my writing style goes weird after midnight sometimes and i mistake myself for a poet (which i am most certainly not)) #honkai star rail x reader #jing yuan x reader #jing yuan

pretty & cute witch men

#witch hat tag #orufrey #i'm not drawing as much or as well as i'd like to be doing. i'm trying to get through a comic i've been really wanting to do #but i'm just finding it so hard. disheartening. btw the 2nd one relates to some official art of qif wearing a dress like the girls #and the 4th one relates to how i've been drawing EXTREMELY SMALL for years. idk how to explain it but i always clicked 'fit to screen' #and so all my art EVER has looked bad when you zoom in bc it's already like size 1 zoomed in to the MAX pfhgguguhfpfhGHAHHHHH #i was so confused allll this time why brushes always look different for me than what they're supposed to #'wow this brush is so jaggedy..really rather jaggedy...calling it the Jagged Cai Special..bringing it out for those jaggedy moments.. #really quite jaggedy i must say...' and it's literally not jaggedy #but now i have to get used to how all those brushes that i'd gotten used to indeed look how they're supposed to finally. Alarming #I have simply been working out absolutely everything by myself for years and that's why my technical progress is slow #ppl say my progress is fast and i certainly have improved much since i began doing all this but #like..it took me a year and half to start using a program where i could Colour In The Lines aka the..whatever it's called. whatever.. #just on my lonely confused solemn journey to express gay love better than yesterday.. -_- *picks up my pack n continues through the snow* #btw thank you sm for people's kind words enjoying my narumitsu art & fic over the christmas & new year period <3

Day 142 | id in alt

Kugisaki uses Gojo's face as a reaction image when everyone doesn't expect it

(read from left to right)

#dailykugisaki #jjk #kugisaki nobara #gojo satoru #YES I JUST WANTED TO DRAW THE FREAK EYES YES I DID #idgaf if Gojo isn't hot i am having FUN #Maki: Nobara please stop using Gojo's mug shot as a reaction image #I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING MYSELF bc there aint a bitch in my ear telling me stupid shit honestly #Gojo dosent deserve to be hot #He has a face only Geto could tolerate because of swollowin curses #which I personally think is funny as shit #i think itd make more sense to put eyes on the sides of his head rather than all six on the front of his face #idk. just feels right #certainly dont feel right to Kugisaki tho #I am actually fighting yhe urge to spam Kugisaki whole name everywhere its actually so strong it's worrying #style tweak in the middle of the damn drawing like always

gratitude list time I'll go first

#stopped caring about some things I was caring far too much about #it's another rainy dreary day which means I can wear cozy clothes and curl up with my brother's dog and coffee and a book #little guy and I are just chillin. he's tiny and shorthaired so he gets cold easily and likes to cuddle up #and seeing as I'm the only person home rn... doggo cuddle time it is!!! #I've been reading more lately!! I'm having trouble with tbosas so I got out a couple other things (sea of tranquility included) #that I've really enjoyed. I'm reading turtles all the way down right now and oh boy I forgot how nice a little contemporary #coming of age novel can be at times. also forgot that john green is a genuinely good writer. as in I personally enjoy his style. #let's see... my favorite sound guy for church is home from college for the summer which means THERES SOMEONE HERE #WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW THE SOUND SYSTEM WORKS. me and the other sound guys have been barely #managing the last couple months bc there's been a ton of random technical glitches (the system is pretty old tbh) #so HALLELUJAH THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT TO DO IS BACK!!!! #I've been branching out into a bunch of things I wouldn't have thought to enjoy lately bc of the time I've been spending #with my sister in law. music and tv shows and even foods and stuff!!! #Gurt is coming to visit me in a week and a day!!!!!! I'm SO EXCITED #and last but certainly not least I gave myself bangs again and honestly I'm so happy about it.

Polaris, the Northern Star, Queen of the Celestials

Since she won my OC poll, here's the face reveal of Polaris! (I should have figured she would win, lol. I've been meaning to draw her anyway.) Er, face reveal in the sense that celestials can change form, but you know what I mean.

Finally, the infamous mother of Loke and (former) Celestial Queen from HTRYDS gets an image to her name. I had a lot of fun designing her and it was nice to finally go all the way. And to throw in those easter eggs and tiny clues :)

#htryds #fairy tail #polaris #oc #my ocs #loke's mom ahoy #well she raised him anyway but it counts #I've had too much fun with this family #I can't blabber too much because spoilers but dang they are a mess and I enjoy myself #less so polaris she's very sweet #that is why she is most certainly dead #rip loke's mom #anyway a few little design elements I am positive nobody will noticed but #some are more obvious I think? #anyways 10 points to whoever can recognize the sword :) #i'm confident that one is guessable #I now have the urge to doodle polaris trapping loke in a hug with the power of ARMS #fun fact I almost gave her six but cut it to four because compass rose #and because six arms was hard to draw :(

the vibes are rotten. they should kiss

#my art #the last kingdom #tlk #tlk brida #tlk skade #the cursed image is out of my head at last #no idea who this is for #but if it’s you — you are welcome please enjoy #I certainly did enjoy drawing this piece #and also the previous one actually I’ve finally let myself be messy with them and quite liked the change in process #it was fun!)))

[opportunityarose]

OKAY!!!!

#that was a wild ride. did i enjoy it? well. #it certainly made me feel things #tempted to write about their toxic yaoi but i feel i would be shunned #im going to rewatch the show now to heal myself #good omens #1992 good omens #og post

Hi this is a vent post! Continue scrolling if you'd rather not see that

#Giving time... #Still more time... #Wouldn't want to plague any previews #Maybe another filler. Just for some fun #Is this enough? #It certainly is now #Alright start: #I'm so bored. I am so incredibly; intrinsically; entirely bored. I have been taught the same thing for four years straight #'It's only four years!' that's literally a quarter of my lifetime right there. My formative years are being spent stressed and in a state / #/of constant self-loathing #I was watching a YT video and the phrase 'attention-starved STEM major' came up and I was like. Yea #What am I even working towards? The hope that my version of capitalist hell isn't as bad as everyone else's? I'm just so sick of not / #/having a stable future what with politics and normal working people becoming more and more oppressed #I don't want to work and that's not because I'm lazy. It's because my brain is recognising that there is no reward anymore #I used to have such a little spark in Yr7. I remember having things to say and wanting to share everything I've done #I still do that now; sure I do. I don't enjoy it though #I thought I liked drawing but I'm realising that all I really like is the attention. I COULD draw things I like drawing... but then I / #/ don't get attention which my mind then classifies as zero reward #I'm very tired of doing things for no credit; reward; or validation. This is becoming a theme #Then I wonder what I'm doing wrong. What part of the algorithm am I not hitting. Then I realise that I'm just not marketable in a way #God. I'm seriously breaking rn. It's not even only because of GCSEs #It's just a culmination of doing all these things to be told that I am unworthy of Having as a result. It doesn't matter if I'm smart; my / #/ parents still don't own their house and can't afford to pay for heating most days #Literally what am I doing this for #And then I realise that all of this is ALSO attention-seeking behaviour! I'm my own worst problem; I recognise exactly what's wrong with / #/ myself but the body wants what it wants. And what it wants is validation that I'm not going to get in this life #Hi guys! Maybe don't interact. That could fix me #Wean me off of needing virtual numbers just to feel something. Jesus #I can't even be happy with the things that I make for myself. Because I make nothing for myself anymore #It's just a whole sad existence of an expected 12hr+ of school every day until I get a job I guess. Then it's 12hr+ of job every day until

sorry im a god gale truther btw i DO think he should get to usurp mystra and ascend to godhood and i do think that should be an absolutely awful thing to happen to him but also literally everyone else. sorry

#bg3 #not main tagging this further bc its. mad man 1:30am rambles #but listen. mh. #ok so. heres the thing. #while i do think. their relationship was absolutely fucked. and yeah we can argue for grooming and or abuse. #i also dont QUITE enjoy how ppl make gale like. the poor poor totally blameless victim. like. mh #how to phrase this so it DOESNT sound victim blame-y. but like. #from how i interpret the things he told & what the game shows. #my mans REALLY struggles with No's and rejection. and i wouldn't just put that as a Mystra Aftermath Thing #he WAS forbidden from trying to ascend/was told by her she wouldnt make him an equal. and his response basically was. #'but let me prove i am worthy of this' #which yeah. plays into the fucked up self worth. ill get back to that. #plus the uh. touch the orb scene? he just. grabs your hand and pulls it towards him because he WANTS to show you this. Now. #any rejection within the relationship? I Should Blow Myself Up #he got that gifted kid energy of everything always came easily to him and yet it wasnt ever enough and the relationship w a literal goddess. #certainly didnt help that. #so hes constantly reaching for more. and thats a fault of his because he will do that even if told not to because #at the same time he thinks of himself as smart enough to actually Get to that More. #and yknow w the orb? he literally. got So Badly Burned. is it deterring him? nnnnnnot really. #and i think. godhood would. idk i think he could do it. and i think it still wouldn't be enough. #and having an all powerful deity who ALSO a) still never is satisfied with his amount of power and control and b) thinks he know better than #anyone and could do better than anyone #sounds like its gonna fucking suck #anyways im rotating this all in my brain + ofc the delicious bloodweave combo of ascended astarion + new god gale bc thats just. ough #the mess. of this combo.

just gotta say as a fan of horror i love your bull’s eye fusion a lot, the design and the concept is immaculate, i found them fun to draw but its actually really hard 😭 so here’s a sketch as an offering

--------

OMGGGG THEY ARE SO GOOOD!!! Its terrifying I love it! You did an amazing job!! (the eyes are lovely and teeth are *chef kiss*, which is hilarious to say but its true!) im a fan of subtle horror myself (i blame analog horror) So seeing an oppertunity with Bull, I sprinted lolol

#submission #fanart #bull's eye fusion #they do be kinda wack to draw sometimes #i find myself shaking their tusks and wanting to chuck them cuz they block their face sometimes #but the subtle horror of their design keeps me enjoying the process #tw horror #i shall now look at this before I sleep for the next 4 weeks :D #certainly a lovely thing to witness before snoozing

okay hi tumblr uh I searched through files on my macbook and I found some practice audios I did to send to my friend so enjoy the random assortment of BMC instrumentals played by me 👍

yeah it's literally just a black screen 😭 can't post audio on tumblr (nor can I post more than one video-) so enjoy the fact I edited this-

also yeah I put what song it is in the video

#enjoy this #bmcblr remake #I think?? #I guess this is bmcblr related? #its certainly related to the last post I did where I said I'm recording the entirety of bmc by myself cause it's funny #so I guess it counts ? right ? #I don't know man I was digging for them anyway to send to another friend #so I guess yeah it works 🤷‍♂️ #be more chill
