#but I did give it a shot

[awakenedgirlspring]

Had a dream that Cologne was trying to train me. She said that Pops/Genma had broke me, broke my fighting spirit. But that my spirit can be rekindled like the phoenix and burn bright like the vermillion bird. And that being a skilled fighter doesn't have to conflict with my femininty or desire for peace.

#i dont know if i believe her #but I did give it a shot #reyna of the grove #just a dream #or dream as exomemories not sure #it felt very real

Leafkit and Squirrelkit make "travelling herbs" for Sandstorm before she goes for a walk. They're delicious, she assures the kits, through tears in her eyes. They run away proudly, she rushes out of camp for the nearest creek to wash her mouth in. Nasty, she mouths, but she'll eat whatever they make. The kits' smiles make it worth a wet face.

Had a ton of fun with this one but don't wanna bog down the main post. A lot of unrelated-to-wc process talk below the cut!

So this was a bit of experimentation with a new brush which turned into exploration into gradient maps.

The original idea was simply to modify csp's mechanical pencil brush into something that felt a bit more natural. It started with simply turning on a bit of tilt-controlled thickness and setting my colour to about 80% grey, rather than black. It didn't quite feel right, but setting the brush to blend with the subcolour on each tip, setting the subcolour to the 80% grey and the main colour to the canvas' colour, then setting the brush's blend mode to darken gave me a brush that felt like it had FAR finer line control.

The lines themselves look like this (on a more saturated bg to show how the values layer/fade in and out with pressure and tilt):

(edit to pic: completely unnoticeable when on the intended base colour*)

This is where the gradient maps come in. The way I usually change my linearts' colours is to make a new layer, mask over it, and manually paint. It gives a lot of control to your end result, but it's time consuming and often takes many adjustments to make it feel like it has enough contrast to make the drawing actually *readable.* If I wanted to add a gradient map to the lineart, it would be unable to read the transparency and would pick from the single value that the lineart is (usually black), then the transparency would take over. This gives me a dull result.

With the "transparency" being an actual colour, that gives it an actual value for the gradient map to read. So instead of having your lines fade from black to the colour behind it (often desaturating as it goes), it'll go from something like dark blue -> reddish-grey -> orange -> yellow. It adds a little something i think, and while I absolutely don't have this down pat, it could be something interesting to explore!

I also wanted to go further with this piece, namely painting it rather than a shading layer set on overlay with the aforementioned gradient maps all over it but ... it wasnt happening. The art skills clocked out for the day. That said, I definitely want to explore how this would look if I coloured everything for realsies rather than doing the fallback method. Could be where they really shine!

I love the captain as much as any of you, that much should be clear. but I have to say it. sometimes you guys make him too nice. in your fics and your art and whatnot. he's sensitive yes but when he gets overwhelmed he gets mean. he is commanding and snippy and rude. yeah maybe he'd apologize or ask for a hug or admit he was wrong or whatever but it would be a JOURNEY to get there. he's got like 8 different walls up at any given time and when you threaten one he gets cunty. please don't deny him his right to be a bitch.

#stop making him a baby. give him his spine back. #did you forget him calling pat a spineless little traitor #or calling robin 'a deserter! I could have you shot for that you know' #like. he is a bitch! he rolls his eyes he ignores people he's bossy #give him his bite back #bbc ghosts #the captain

You know what, we deserve a Brentwood Academy Reunion mini comic where Tim brings Bernard along and all the other guys keep sending him pitying looks because they think the poor guy should be warned that Tim will never catch onto his feelings for him.

And Bernard is like, "um, why is everyone giving me so much sympathy?" And Tim's like, "what are you talking about?" And then people literally pat him on his shoulder and tell him that they "get it" and they've "been through this too"

Bernard: What are you talking about??

Some guy from Brentwood: It's okay, man. It's practically a rite of passage at this point. You're here with Tim Drake as just a friend, right?

Tim, who heard that: Um, no? Bernard's my date

Literally everyone there: What.

Tim: Uh...yeah? He's my boyfriend

Everyone: *squeeze their wine glasses so hard they literally shatter*

#danny: how did you even get him to realise it was a date?? #Bernard: got kidnapped. he was rescuing me and i said i felt bad i'd left our date midway. he wouldn't have figured out otherwise #danny: so you just needed to spell it out for him???? that's all i needed to do??? you're saying i had a shot??? #tim: *joining them* a shot at what? #danny: at you!! #tim: a shot at me? wait. wait are you saying you wanted to assassinate me?? danny what the hell?? #danny: see what i mean??! #bernard: *gives him a sympathetic pat on his shoulders* #tim drake #bernard dowd #timbern #timbern headcanon #tim drake headcanon

since the winners were announced, I can finally post my entry for the Pokemon Masters art contest! (I've been itching to post it for a while now ;w;) I didn't place, but it was still fun to do! I wanted to imagine a scene from Emmet's story in the tea party event (one that could potentially happen after Piers gives Emmet his advice)

Emmet doing his best as a butler 😭💖✨

König, walking up to Bee’s house with like three jugs of Moonshine: What the fuck is this and why did I buy it off that nun?

König sets a jug of water in front of you. As if you're going to know what to do with it. You look up at him, he looks down at you. You look at the jug.

"What is it?" You ask, not sure he's going to come out and tell you if you don't.

"Moonshine," König replies. You frown, and pop the lever at the top. You sniff it and nearly gag, your eyes watering a little. König's eyes widen a little, like he hadn't been expecting that reaction and picks up the jug to inspect himself. You grab a shot glass from the cabinet and a coke from the fridge just in time to see König sniff the bottle and jerk it away from himself almost immediately.

You laugh and set the shot glass on the table, trading König the coke for the moonshine. He twists the cap off with ease as you pour yourself a shot.

"Where'd you get this? I didn't think there was a liquor store nearby." You settle the jug on your kitchen table, and eye the shot.

"A nun." You glance at König, sure you heard him wrong.

"A nun." You clarify. He nods.

"Ja, a nun," He gestures around his head, imitating a nun's habit. You... have honestly heard worse. Alright nuns with booze, you can get on board with that. You think you've heard of nuns growing weed, this seems tamer.

You grip the shot glass between two fingers and tap it on the table before tossing it back. God Damn it burns like nothing you've ever drank before. Save maybe the everclear you had in college. It's just a step better than drinking straight paint thinner. You cover your mouth to cough, setting down the shot glass and reaching to take your coke from König. He seems concerned, brows drawn together as you swallow down nearly the whole soda.

You finally set your chaser back on the table, and pour König a shot in the same glass. Whatever the alcohol content of this crystal devil is you don't know, but you can feel it making your head warm already. You push the shot towards König, his fingers positively dwarf the glass. You look away as he pulls his bandana down, you figure that's polite.

"How much did the nun charge you?" You ask, hearing the glass clink against the table, König's quiet swallow.

"Probably too much," He says without a hint of tremor in his voice, you ignore how that makes the heat in your head move south, "She was a very pushy nun."

#König x reader #cowboy!König #König x you #könig mw2 #könig modern warfare #x reader #König does in fact have another jug back at his house but he figured as long as he had 2 he'd give one to bee #did he expect bee to crack it open immediately? No #but he's not going to say no to a drink #oc: Bee #I don't think König is a big drinker #but I think he can take a shot like a fucking champ #and that's so hot I'm sorry

this was, without a doubt, the wildest and most unexpected opening to an anime i saw as of late

#shuumatsu train doko e iku? #train to the end of the world #i need yall to know that the summary was just like. strange things happen to the girlies and they take off on a train too! teehee :3 #i was like sure lets give it a shot #and the whiplash did not stop here btw. #its an anime original so 0 clue where its gonna go #but i had to share

When I started writing 'lessons in tea making', I set out to make it a longfic that following ATLA Book 2 and 3 in its entirety but now its been almost 5 years and I'm realising that I'm probably never going to get around to finishing this monster of a wip

HOWEVER, I do have around 15k of chapter 2 collecting dust in my google drive so.... what's everyone's opinion on authors uploading (signposted) unfinished chapters....

#i can admit that the plot at the end of book 2 spiraled entirely out of control #it's the wall i will never be able to scale and i need to admit defeat #i have some of chapter 2 written but i also don't want to ruin chapter 1 for everyone #so.. thoughts?? #my posts #ficblogging #i'm usually strictly a one-shot writer #for a REASON #every time i get the urge to write longfic i have to remind myself that that's the devil talking #because the attempt will likely fail and kill me in the process #authors who effortlessly write 100k fics..... who did you sell your soul to and can you give me their number

My little cousin (almost 16 now 🥲) watched season 1 of the legend of korra. Here's her opinions of the characters.

Korra: "beefy mommy"

Mako: "he's like zuko but somehow even worse"

Bolin: "every show needs a comic relief, and bolin is doing a horrible job at it"

Asami: "say what you want but irl she would NOT be attracted to mako in the slightest that guy has pointy eyebrows"

Tenzin: "i was expecting Aang's son to have a better sense of humor"

The airbender kids: "BABIES."

Lin Beifong: "now that's my kind of woman"

Pema: "boring i'm sorry"

Tarrlock: "he's like a slimy salesman so perfect for politics"

Amon: "i was genuinely hoping he'd be some cool spirit villain but he was just a dude who did everything bc he's angry. What's with this universe's villains and them just being random dudes all the time"

Iroh II: "he's like zuko but cooler in every way" Me: "he's voiced by the same guy too" Her: "yea no shit that VA doesn't even try to alter his voice i could tell right away."

Avatar Aang: "not him showing up late starbucks in hand to give Korra the Avatar State AFTER the fight"

#needless to say she enjoyed herself #i did ask which show she prefers so far and right now she still prefers atla #but she said this show has a lot of potential #i did also warn her that nickelodeon kind of screwed with the writers and the effects she'll see from that #i felt like warning her ahead would give tlok a better shot y'know #atla #tlok #the legend of korra #korra #avatar korra #legend of korra #lok #avatar #mako #bolin #lin beifong #tenzin #pema #airbender kids #iroh ii #asami #asami sato #avatar the last airbender #zuko

"it's better to tear it all down than let things continue like this" just seems like such a big thing to be resigned to...do you think they talked about it

#THIS is several months old bc i had wanted to do more with it but at this point i think i'm not going to. its fine as is #pizza tower #pillar john #gerome #john pillar #i think about them so much and they are so tragic to me forever. pillar john thumbs up death sprite makes me insane every day #like at what point did they realize they couldn't stop pizzahead? at what point did gerome accept he couldn't keep up with the decay? #how long were they waiting for a guy that could come through and just wreck shit? #and how distant a hope would it be that that guy could also be trusted with the treasures to give them any shot at a good ending #peppino is certainly not.... the ideal choice for a hero. but it's what they got. and he was enough. #begging and crying and shaking everyone please you have to care about the pillar bros #pizzaposting

Also, yknow whats great ? Those fuckin sparkly gay penis banners have in fact been 100% effective. The posts I forget to put them on always end up full of radfems and tradwives and the ones that do have sparkles never do. Huge quality of life improvement for me personally :3

#i didnt make the banners but the person who did said its fine if other use them #so if you wanna give it a shot just download the ones from my posts or make your own #dni banners don't seem to do a single thing but sparkle penis effectively defeats radfems apparently xD
