society if the dungeon meshi anime actually had texture and kept ryoko kui's personality in the artstyle instead of doing generic thin-lined flat colors flat shading streamlined anime face style. i know ppl have mixed opinions on some of these examples but i reallyyyy wished they went stronger on the mangas artstyle like say haikyuu season 4 and demonslayer did.
like i think heavier shading and use of lineweight and black shading would already do a lot for the texture... more frequent use of that nose shading ryuko kui uses a lot, like here? ALSO BRO THEY GOT RID OF LAIOS' UNDERCUT like okay tbf in some of the colored manga references he doesnt have that but also how else do you interpret his hair in this panel
Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyways in general just throwing in some more hatching like using it more common as an art style for texture instead of just roughed up clothes/appearance would do some wonders. also softening the palettes i feel like theyve made things too dark and idk how to explain it its like they filmed the manga through a samsung camera
Tumblr media Tumblr media
disclaimer i know most of these changes would cost more money and time and effort to do. the solution to most of this would probably just be to give them a bigger budget

a small gift for @dipperpines-kin on their birthday !
Tumblr media
[ID: a digital drawing of an original, stylised Flatland character named Dayo.
Dayo is a brown triangle with a sharp, extended upper corner. He has dark navy limbs, one eye with a brown pupil and three upper eyelashes, and peach coloured oval patterning on the lower half of his body. His brown colouration gets lighter further down his body.
Dayo is standing with his arms held up excitedly, with his hands outstretched. He is smiling and looking directly at the viewer with an enlarged, warm eye.
Above him, there is black cursive text that reads “Happy Birthday” with small stars around it. The background is cream.
End ID].
and just a plain dayo under the cut :)
Tumblr media
[ID: the same drawing of Dayo as above, but there is no text above him. End ID].

People I wanna know better tag meme
I was tagged by @uncontrol-freak. Thanks for the tag!! <3
Last song?
youtube
Been listening to this at least once a day lately bc I'm considering making a comic about it. Only song I've ever found that accurately represents how I feel about my body. Also just generally a beautiful masterpiece of progressive groove/death metal.
Favorite color?
Black. Though green is an extremely close second.
Currently watching?
fucking Ink Master lmao (guilty pleasure). Been on a 1-episode-a-day-over-dinner "marathon" of it with my partner for a while. Finished season 12 earlier this evening.
Last movie?
saw The Boy and the Heron in theaters like a month ago (I almost never watch movies). It was disappointing.
Sweet/Spicy/Savory?
Spicy. I put cholula on everything
Relationship status?
I'm engaged! Not planning a wedding anytime soon though lmao
Current obsessions?
Eastward! Started playing it about a week ago and I've fallen head over heels. It's so cute and fun! Plus the soundtrack is incredible. Also going through a major Victorian and Edwardian clothing obsession. Currently in patient wait for my historical emporium order (that store has me by the throat). Last current obsession is local theater. Going to see Sweeney Todd later this month at our favorite playhouse! They also did an amazing production of The Exorcist in December.
Last thing you googled?
citizen sleeper 2 release date (spoiler alert there still isn't one. hahahahaha someone help)
Selfie or another pic you took?
Tumblr media
my dramatic ass and my cat poo bear. throwback to warmer weather and leaves being on the trees :'(
I'm tagging @nsk96 and @toyfriskman but no pressure obvi

having thoughts about what makes an interesting idol rhythm game
#i can expand upon it but i think its mostly like. what's the gimmick it's using and how is it executing it#like enstars you have the 3d mvs that you can put whoever you want in and have different outfits to put them in#d4dj you have the dj booth layout that you play with and it utilizes it very well#hypmic is a rap based game entirely and also utilizes record scratching imagery in its gameplay#and then proseka and bandori. proseka's gimmick is very obviously like vocaloids#but in the game play its trying to be too many things and failing at all of them#they have some 3d mvs but the layout of the beat maps makes them like#not really. something i notice when i played it. bc the way they have the map layout set up it kinda grays out the video#which means you might as well not have it on. for enstars the lanes are entirely transparent#so you can see the mv clearly as you play if you have 3d mv on u know#and then like. idk the proseka gameplay just feels brutal.#mostly because it times when you lift off the hold notes and literally no other game does this#even games that use goods as combo breakers like hypmic dont fucking do that#also i do appreciate the flick notes in hypmic being just. flick whereever feels natural#helps a lot while playing to just flick whichever way you want#but anyway yeah i think proseka is relying too much on the vocaloid schtick and people just ignore the atrocious game play#like d4dj does straight lane better. hypmic and enstars are both ring lanes that do their gimmicks well#i do not like proseka can u tell#i didnt play enough bandori to really tell u whats going on there but i did not like the layout for their game#and its made by the same people who make proseka so like. no hope for me getting into it#anyway#shay speaks

Forgot just how upsetting gloomed korok forest is
#idk. just this one sanctuary that was different from the rest in that all of these spirits only link and a few others#can see are offering you help and safety. care uniquely for you. a bed for YOU. YOUR sword. kept safe for 100 years for YOU.#thrown together shops just for YOU because nobody else goes here or even knows it exists.#and then you return and the people who cared so much about you dont even speak to you anymore#they cant speak. they just stand there#idk korok forest made me feel the most like i fucked up somehow#rito village was bad but still livable. if things got any worse then they would have to abandon home until it settled#but no one was in immediate life threatening danger#gerudo was really REALLY bad and people were in danger. just all crammed inside a bunker. no going into town because your#home doesnt belong to you anymore#and then the zora were ... idk felt the least pressing even though it definitely should be bc like. they breathe water.#if the water is gross theyll die. but idk something about how it was executed felt less terrible#maybe they outwardly expressed more hope? idk. same with the gorons didnt feel like there was a pressing threat#but korok forest is fucking AWFUL. god#idk. nobody in hyrule talks about it because they dont know there are people there. nobody else can see them so nobody knows#somethings wrong. with no lead into it finding korok forest the way it is just feels soooo much worse.#idk. on my first playthru i kind thought i fucked up and shouldve gotten there sooner.#it just feels like no matter what youre too late and its your fault

i say this as someone with an ADHD diagnosis, but if you find that one of the biggest struggles you face is executive dysfunction... but you also have a history of complex trauma... consider that it might not just be the ADHD, but that you are stuck in a state of chronic freeze response.

Do you ever read a post online where someone complains about how "IDW never talks about this [idea/character/plot/theme]" and you just think to yourself... this person hasn't read anything besides MTMTE have they?
Really sad when you see people complaining "the story never talked about this!" and act angry about it as if it's some oppressive flaw that the writer (JRO) was evil for never talking about but it's like. Bud if you just read exRID/OP or maybe Windblade/TAAO you would have read plenty about that.
The two worst ones I can think of off the top of my head are "Optimus is always treated like a saint, I hate how he gets away with everything just because he's a Prime" (wrong, read literally anything Barber writes) and "the Decepticons never get a sympathetic perspective, they're always just villains and the narrative is totally just treating them as if being revolutionaries makes them evil" (wrong, read several side stories that Barber wrote). Like literally the moral of the story is just "read something besides MTMTE."
And I'm not complaining about people who are just curious or don't know. I'm talking specifically about people who complain, or say MTMTE is bad, or generally act as if JRO's writing/MTMTE/LL represents the entirety of IDW1 and basically act like, if JRO didn't write it it doesn't exist and clearly since he didn't write it that means no one else did. Like please I'm begging you to read the other less popular but still good series in IDW1 and you'll find multiple stories/ideas that they tell that MTMTE/LL doesn't.

if y'all would be writing an orpheus and eurydice retelling how would you do the whole trying to bring back from the dead thing without the... death. but like keeping the themes/message (like it being about doubt of curiousity or however you view it)
#if you consider answering but you wanna help more directly here's what i can't figure out:#my characters who are supposed to represent orpheus and eurydice are pirates. now the reason why i want them as a retelling of this story i#because simon (eurydice) is my dnd character who i brought to barovia which is like hell just maybe worse. and they're trapped there while#adalaine (orpheus) is outside wanting him back and it's not really inluded in the campaign that she tries to come after them for ovious#reasons i just thought that maybe she would. and boom the idea that they're orpheus and eurydice coded (plus they're just. so doomed by the#narrative. like madame eva just told simon to stop being like this and don't let their faith dictate everything they do. as if he's not a#divine soul sorcerer#(connected to a greek goddess who would be hecate btw so maybe that's something i should work with?? idk)#so anyway#the problem lies in the fact that even if i could use barovia i don't really want to. and i'm not sure if i should do smth similar to that#smth entirely different or actually use the theme of death too (which wouldn't be completely stupid given that simon is supposedly a#necromancer). my sister gave me the idea that it could be during a fight but idk. i also had the idea that simon could be caught for being#pirate and maybe the plan is to execute them or he's just in prison but either ways adalaine comes after to save them bc like yeah#but idk what to do with the “don't look back” part there because i could use exactly that with a cocky annoying prince but idk about the#full execution because until when do they have to go. where does she look back. how does she not know if they're there#(the themes i intend to use are doubt and love btw. like. adalaine looks back because she's weaker than her love for simon)#also like the idea that simon is trapped somewhere and trying to get out too and basically hopes that adalaine is after them even if she#does fall like orpheus did because they're also doomed to fail because it still means she loves them so much that she'd try everything to#get him back. just. idk about the where and how there either#so i have some options in my mind just neither seem good enough. like i need this story to be that story they're my everything#i also thought about using their greatest fears (being alone for simon and losing control for adalaine) or the fact that simon does not kil#oh yeah i also really like the theme of looking back and grief and the connection between these two and maybe i do need death for that idk#and i would like to point out that they love each other a lot. like a lot lot. so yeah#just. can some give me some ideas. or something that'll get my brain working. i feel stuck.#writeblr#writing#writerscommunity#writers on tumblr#orpheus and eurydice#greek myth retellings

The Poisons We Drink
YA urban fantasy
a girl who brews powerful potions is coerced into making potions to interfere with D.C.’s most influential politicians in an attempt to stop a dangerous Witcher Registration Act from passing, and will do anything to protect her sister after their mother is killed
bi MC, nonbinary love interest
arc from netgalley
#The Poisons We Drink#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#this is…….a lot of cool ideas but also so many elements and high stakes that i kinda lost track of them#the pacing is weird. the worldbuilding is random?#why is brewing SO overpowered & risky for her but the other powers seem to have pretty normal low-scale risks?#it’s definitely ambitious and has some cool ideas and also some great characters just. didn’t execute as well as I’d like#as much as we’re told the main threat is the government trying to put through a Registration Act#most of the actual antagonism we see is from other Witchers?#like the systemic discrimination got a bit lost in the witcher family drama and murder politics#important things to say about oppression and police violence but like....idk#she has this ‘deviation’- essentially evil sentient magic inside her head (and you KNOW I love that trope)#but it’s barely explained and very underutilised? other than helping her get out of bad situations you could take it out & would barely#change anything#also it’s explained at the start that she’s an empath but other than the very occasional mention I kept forgetting#will also note that I bumped this up my tbr because I saw the author talking/promoting it as the MCs sister being aroace but no mention#maybe it’ll come up in a sequel (there weren’t really any places where it would have made sense to bring it up here) but idk#(just the way the author was asking for advice on how to write an ace character and stuff you’d assume that they’d….put that in the book?)#not really a critique of the book itself but anyway. I really wanted to like this but the way it was put together just did not vibe with me#edit: I saw the author say on twitter that the version used for ARCs was before ace stuff was added and that there's other signif changes?#so perhaps that will be there! i'm not sure if I want to read it again but might skim just to see what that's about

#head instructor to the TAs in the lab section i TA for: how r u guys feeling abt the workload?#me who hasnt graded anything since week 1 and spent an hr that morning filling out a patient safety plan: 🙃#listen. we r experiencing symptoms that make us shitty at our job. which is not helpful for a positive outlook#i was also experiencing horrible cramps at the time bc i lost my ibuprofen and 2 days ago i stopped the birth control in a desperate effort#to stop feeling terrible. but in this moment i feel alright. its wild to go from drastically unhappy to like lol wtf was that? anyway stop#being a bby loser. for no obvious reason. im gonna start the birth control again to see if i get depressed again or if that was just me lol#i dont think my therapist understands the depth of my executive functioning issues tho. bc im a grad student and can meet deadlines. like#let me tell u im a fucking disaster abt starting things. i will go back and forth and get nothing done forever. or i do things halfway and#make everything 30 times more difficult later bc no one else understands how my brain works#ah well. itll b fine. sometimes i just get freaked out that i wanna b better and i dont kno how to do that. so i spiral in despair a lil#ill b fine. im good at catching myself before i get too out of control. annoyingly tho i am not currently beating the bip0lar allagations#bc whatever tf is wrong with me i do probably fit the diagnostic criteria for bip0lar 2. i dont kno y that freaks me out so much. i guess#its bc it feels like something i cant just make better thru force of will and i grew up in a home that was very obsessively#health conscious to the point my dad gets anxious abt taking a single ibuprofen. so like ive been conditioned to get freaked out by#medication. literally my grandma will call me and tell me to b suspicious of doctors and to not take medicine unless absolutely necessary.#like lady u r the genetic reason i have 0cd shut the fuck up. also it feels like something that would more negatively affect how ppl think#of u than saying oh yea i get depressed or i have anxiety. like the connotation feels worse im used to just telling ppl whatever tf#my problem is. so the idea of holding something back feels weird. which annoys me bc i dont think there should b so much of a stigma. its#bullshit. anyway idk. im tired. i was trying to think of a comfort tv show with my therapist and all i could think was the terror#when im depressed i wanna watch those English mother fuckers suffer and die. i just lov that show so much. harry g00dsir my beloved. the#most me coded character to ever exist#unrelated
