no, but pinecones is really beautiful isn't it ?

#perfect kind of flowers for fae kind who probably feels that flowers die in 0.1 sec bcs of their long life #imagine making mal a pine cone flower wreath and he is so happy with it; that if yuu ever think of selling it king mal mal would order it #for every house in the valley; so everyone has one in their house as new kind of briar valley culture & tradition fhsdh #twst #twisted wonderland #sebek zigvolt #twst yuu #twst mc #twst grim #fanart #i wonder if sebek can see the pinecones as beautiful too #well sebek is weak at subjective thing like art; he might only be able to see things as it is #but he might take on some things from poet or romantic genre books; so i wonder what he sees #i know a fellow who absolutely can't see what i see; i feel like his brain is like a white digital sci fi cube that is clean #and looking so minimalistic it looks like it can only process logical things like numbers #it's so weird that some people don't actually process things by imagining a lot of other things visually in their mind

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4: Deranged Bedfellows

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.5)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #lan wangji #nie huaisang #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #This is the *first* part of what was supposed to be a much longer comic (LWJ's morning routine in full). #I'll finish the remaining part as a reblog to this post! I just think this is the funnier chunk. #Lan Wangji absolutely is the kind of person who has a perfect internal alarm clock for when it is time to get up. #He already has a dedicated sleep schedule. He is accurate within 10 seconds of 5am every day. #I think the Jiang disciples are most likely used to waking up around 6:00-7:00am #But the allure of having a guaranteed time keeper getting you up in the morning is worth the earlier hour. #I imagine they started outside lwj's door and slowly moved closer as the weeks went on. #Now LWJ has to cope with being way too warm in the night from all the extra body heat. #LWJ is not a fan of this but they scamper off immediately after he wakes up and they at least show initiative to follow routine. #NHS joins in only because he is a chronically heavy sleeper and needs this level of intervention to get up early. #His boldness would be a death sentence in the cloud recesses but here? Whole new game. #Yungmeng Jiang isn't a lawless land. It's just a land with different laws. #And one of those laws is to forcefully domesticate the catboy coded Lan boy through any means necessary. #Completely different tangent: I drew the thumbnail for this before I did comic 134. I then realized they had the same visual gag. #So I had to space this one out so it didn't seem like I repeated the waking up joke. That's my secret and all of you have to keep it. #And in my land the law is that snitches get itches (telepathically transfers hives onto your body)

i am in love with your sollux i think

sollux love party :]

if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him.. big warning for the mega long read ahead aye

as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall

as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.

his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.

while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.

his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.

the Bit in question:

his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.

considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.

but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.

but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.

compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.

the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍‍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)

conceptually-speaking,

at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise

thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.

but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures

meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.

those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:

zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)

or

far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.

which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.

dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

I really like how Mori/Fukuzawa being opposites as juxtaposition of modern/traditional, West/East in this episode is reproduced by showing Mori playing chess and Fukuzawa playing Go.

#Like *that's* the kind of opposites they are and it works very well visually. #ōgai mori #yukichi fukuzawa #fukumori #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd s2 #bsdrewatch2023

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...

...and also being able to read things like THIS:

#art #crochet #fiber art #described images #image description in alt #used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE #see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet #i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece #with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same. #i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean #plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece #one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it #*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost* #if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡 #i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting' #did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO #i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3 #i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to.. #...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

a non-exhaustive list of my dunmeshi cast headcanons, as well as a fun exercise in censoring genitals in creative ways. below the cut you can see a list of notes and explanations. hope you enjoy as much as i enjoyed watching the anime!

important to preface:

now, lets get into it.

thanks for lookin! here are some sketches too:

some more falins because shes my favourite!

#marcilles veins are visible under her skin because i think #it would be cool if that happened for people who were powerful/experienced magic users #it would be a cool way to show it visually #btw laios binding incorrectly is just true and real in my mind you can never convince me otherwise #my boy is wearing his binder while he runs and sleeps in it. chilchuck beats him over the head with a stick. its just how it is #falin has broad shoulders and thick arms because of her protective and kind nature :-) #generally im very happy with how i drew them here #i love drawing naked bodies #esp hairy & fat ones! #i hope this helps someone feel more secure in their body #it helped me :-) #the reason why laios isnt that hairy is bc im a tboy too #and im not as hairy as id like to be #that is all #:-) #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #laios touden #chilchuck tims #senshi #cw nudity #artistic nudity #nudity cw #let me know how i shld tag this

POPPIES. THERES FUCKING POPPIES ON THEIR WEDDING CAKE. IT WAS LITERALLY ALWAYS ABOUT JACKIE. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT EACH OTHER THEIR RELATIONSHIP ITSELF IS A MEMORIAL TO JACKIE. NOT ONLY DOES SHAUNA HOLD ONTO THE DRESS JACKIE LOST HER VIRGINITY IN, BUT SHE MAKES HER A PART OF HER MARRIAGE TOO. JEFF WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE REPLACEMENT. JACKIE HAUNTS THE NARRATIVE ONCE MORE. IF JACKIE GOT TO HAVE A WEDDING DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD HAVE PUT POPPIES ON HER WEDDING CAKE? DO YOU THINK SHAUNA WAS THINKING THIS EXACT THING WHEN PICKING ONE OUT? DO YOU THINK SHAUNA WAS PICTURING HERSELF AS JACKIE, OR PICTURING HERSELF BESIDE JACKIE? AND DO YOU THINK WHEN SHE ATE THE CAKE SHE IMAGINED IT BEING JACKIE? SHE COULD STILL TASTE JACKIE IN HER MOUTH? DID YOU KNOW THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE

#i cant fukcinf beleive this.... #ehen i noticed the poppies on the cake my jaw dropped like if that isnt subtle visual storytelling than i dont know what is #if you dont know its because jackies fav flower are poppies #thenfucking....the fucking symbolisn in this show #and ive already talked abt all the rabbit shit w shauna #shauna shipman #jackie taylor #jeff sadecki #its fr undeniable at this point that shauna has some kind of Feelings™ for Jackie #whatever they may be #yellowjackets

I love this painting (The Cyclops by Odilon Redon) but it kind of scares the shit out of me. It has a very dreamlike quality and also I have a lot of dreams about giant things pursuing me/watching me so it's a distressing combo (again, love it.)

#Like it's so specifically dreamlike to me like #kind of the collapsing of visual space and distance and just how uncanny the cyclops looks #The big cow eye and weird mouth at the bottom of the face and the way that its positioning in the framework is menacing but #everything about its appearance kind of elicits pity or at least a lack of direct menace #I like a lot of Redon's paintings they are kind of known for this dreamlike quality but this might be my fave

[buwheal]

Damn, Spam, did the cake taste that bad? - bad joke. Sorry you're havin' a rough day. We're here if you need to talk, or if you just need a distraction.

#his mascara streaks lmfao sighhh #that is THE FIRST TIME of 61 ASKS he has said thank you. by the way. #yeah the 60th ask was him bawling his eyes out what about it #wooo 40 till 100 #god /pos #you guys have done really well and have been really kind to him so I think its finally deserved #[you've got mail!] #spamton #spamton g spamton #deltarune #deltarune spamton #deltarune chapter 2 #this is probably so bizarre to people just starting to follow ygm #like i cant imagine what its like to happen upon some of the gnarlier ones #in the 'your tags' tab LMAOO LIKE DAMN #sometimes i forget how many people follow me (not including those who dont follow my blog but follow ygm) and liikkke... yowie.. and then i #forget because i cant really comprehend that #i always forget about that to be honest im just being silly and i never realize how many people choose to stick along huh wuh #THERES LIKE 700 PEOPLE WHAT THATS SO MANY #like as a big number i cant conceptualize that in like #visually. in a crowd. so i cant really fully understand how many that is. #but thats a lot i know that much. hiiii. 700 bugs. 700 insects crawling around in here!!! #me when i ramble in the tags accidentally aha #your treat

alright i know lots of folks don’t love the chaos redesign and some folks are saying they look like meg which like i get, esp with the singular wing but to me? they look like Nyx. they look like they molded their new appearance in the image of their daughter, who they’ve recently reconnected with after aeons of separation. like they have not just emotionally become more the parent of Nyx, but physically mirrored this parenthood, this embodied connection, by choice

(this relationship which they’ve now lost, leaving them alone, again)

(until a certain princess of the dead arrives)

#hades 2 #hades early access #hades 2 spoilers #listennnnnn it’s about the STORYTELLING #like i do prefer the aesthetic of the first chaos design but #i think the second one has much more interesting visual storytelling #not just that they remind me of nyx more #but holding their dead former image that’s also growing (?) a fetus #literally holding both past and present in the palm of their hands #like this design really emphasizes that whole chronos may be the titan of time #godly domains aren’t necessarily singular #and chaos #is timeLESS #they are beyond the bounds of reality that chronos exists by #this is also super interesting to connect with melinoë #bc they’re some in game dialogue from hecate and even chronos himself #talk about melinoës ability to resist chrono’s time control #as likely a recessive gene sort of deal #and they don’t say it explicitly but like! chaos is the originator of all life! it could be from chaos!! #this doesn’t even get into chaos’s whole plot line with the fates but that’s kind of late game and also i haven’t finished it yet lol #(though I don’t think it’s a complete plot like yet idk) #ANYWAY #love this game love supergiant

"If PD-MDZS drew He Xuan, would he be a Man or a Fish?"

#Poorly drawn tgcf #tgcf #He Xuan #The promised part two to the He Xuan Saga. #This is the refined and highly selected group of coherant designs #There were many....many more....several pages and sticky notes of grapheme and pen. Ramblings of a visual kind. #I got so stuck on 'sharp forehead'. You are all being saved from the worst of my attempts to figure out what that would look like. #What does it mean. What does it *mean*??? #Btw the reason there's a red star next to no.5 is because that's the winner <3 #At a certain point I started making wild designs in relative jest (and desperation) and something about axolotl He Xuan just... stuck. #I couldn't stop thinking about it...And okay; It works. An amphibian very much goes with his general vibe and themes. #That and for the fact this permits me to draw Shi Qingxuan as an axolotl. Going on axolotl dates. Holding axolotl hands. #And once that image got in my head I knew. #If poorly-drawn-mdzs drew He Xuan; He would be an axolotl.

Do you have any hcs for the twins?

Here's two I remember that I really like! (Also these are definitely not my ideas originally but I cannot for the life of me remember where I first saw them)

For Dream it's that he's just as strong as Nightmare. Like you see Nightmare lifting his henchmen with his tentacles all the time, Dream should also be able to lift like 3 people at a time. I wanna do something silly with it in my truce au but here's Blue finding out in the meantime (he lost his phone and Dream's helping him look for it)

For Nightmare it's that he can also do the starry-eyed thing that Dream and Blue and Cross can. Dream knows he could do it when they were kids but assumes the corruption changed that, but really it just doesn't happen very often so none of them have seen it. This is how it looks

#UTDR #UTMV #Ask #Anon #I guess I just love the idea that they're more similar than they think #They've gone through terrible events but they cannot stop being brothers #Also kind of like the hc that Dream can't read #Like Nightmare used to read to him when they were kids so he wasn't too concerned about learning #And then after the whole statue thing there wasn't really time #He can recognise some words like his and Blue's and Nightmare's names but otherwise not much #Also - and this one is more visual I guess - that Nightmare has gotten softer over time #Like both emotionally and physically #I tried to show it a lil in the comic about Killer getting his name #That his tentacles were much more sharp and angled and he was dripping more goop back then #But now he's more rounded and gentle with them #That the goop kind reflects how he's eased down from total corruption into seeing a bit more in life

kittyfies them i guess,,,,

#ocarina of time #oot #impa #zelda #sheik #ganondorf #i think i decided zelda/sheik is a cornish rex but im still not sure about impa & ganon’s breeds #visually tho impa is built kind of like a bengal and i sort of hc her as having albinism so she has v little pigmentation regardless #ganon is like. a medium haired maine coon or similar large breed. with tortoiseshell coloration that is incredibly rare in male cats #the fur pattern i gave him is a little bit more organized than in actual tortoiseshells i think but sshhhhh #and then sheik’s eye color changes to red and her fur pattern also slightly changes #to vaguely resemble sheik’s emo hairstyle covering one eye in the game :3 #anyway. yeah
