#but like. does it need to be so gray???

[lecliss]

I miss when Sasuke's primary color was blue. I've never been a fan of the color purple for him.

#not counting charasuke he really did peak on the first try huh. i just tie the purple too much to orochimaru #and i know sauce was with oro for a few years so it makes thematic sense but i kinda wish bort era sauce switched back to blue #to like. thematic put that time behind him perhaps #but also combined with susanoo and the rinnegan sticking with purple. again. makes sense #but chidori and all the lightning shit he does is at least blue tinted #i mean. i guess depending on who you ask his bort era outfit is too desaturated to REALLY claim to be specifically purple or blue leaning #or both. im looking at it right now and yeah you could argue for that #so that could be like. a mixing of his blue and purple and the combination of like. themes and shit. you know what im saying #but like. does it need to be so gray??? #even his old purple popped more than that. #i also missed how his hair isnt tinted with blue anymore either. its just flat black #i miss blue sauce :( #it also complimented nart's orange. hell even young nart had blue on his jacket for that reason #and obito was blue with orange as a parallel but then wore purple during the war. uchihas and purple man.... #even under the red armor madara wears purple. STOP WITH ALL THE FUCKING PURPLE!!!! MADARA'S SUSANOO WAS THE PRETTIEST BLUE #AND MADARA ISNT BLUE AT ALL EXCEPT /SOMETIMES/ WITH A BLUE TINT IN HIS HAIR #uchihas should be blue coded #except sarada of course #personal

That. That screentone on Chilchuck’s chest in the low open collar. Is Chilchuck having chest hair canon Kui. Kui? Gripping my knee

#Need to make a post for this on its own actually #Chilchuck tims #Dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #‘She didn’t draw any in the sauna chapter’ She does the same with Senshi and we know that she thinks he actually has lots #It could also be finer/paler etc. This panel is a close up with a lot of details like seams #plus it’s one of the final chapters so Kui prob had more time and motivation to go all out #Bc like what. Is it blood from the intestines. If his forearms are fine I don’t see why his chest wouldn’t be #Never forget Chil canonically has gray hairs…… Just selectively #Edit: ok I now see that yeah prob a mistake. Still gonna run with it tho #Screentone struggle is so real I feel u Kui #The tags were me explaining why it’s plausible but still not the intent tho the result is the same either way. Don’t wanna spread misinfo

bsd fic authors i understand yalls pain SO well right now why is it so fucking HARD to write dazai. like i have a whole fucking spreadsheet dedicated to tireless analysis i have done on my part so i can accurately characterize him but he is such an unpredictable and morally gray character that it's hard knowing his limits and boundaries and where he draws the line for himself.

#i hate when ppl make him out to be a sadistic villain with no remorse. like did we read the same manga 💀 #but at the same time he is NOT crying abt all the ppl he sent to the grave. he sleeps just fine at night knowing he committed atrocities #yes he feels remorse? but he isn't like kunikida to weep at someone's grave for failing to save them #and then we have his emotions themselves #dazai isn't emotionless. far from it. he has difficulty expressing affection but yk he finds someone endearing when he trusts them #trust is very important to dazai and is one of the aspects of human emotion that he can fully grasp #but like everything else is in a hazy gray area that he does not feel like exploring. he feels alienated from his humanity bc of this #AUUUGHH can someone help me with character analysis PLEASE #I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS MF UNTIL RECENTLY SO I MISSED OUT ON A LOT OF IMPORTANT DETAILS #see i would go and reread a few light novels but like i don't have time for that #and this is for dazai specifically. i am very well versed on his relationships w other charcaters #but just like asigiri himself said: it's very difficult to write dazai and write him WELL #so yeaaa i have a lot of smart ppl following me pls help #bsd #ALSO MY FRIEND STILL HAS NO LONGER HUMAN UUUUGHHHHHH I NEED THAT BACK BC I TABBED IT A SHIT TON #FOR LIKE CONNECTIONS TO YOZO AND BSD DAZAI AND WHERE ASIGIRI DREW INSPIRATION FROM YOZOS CHARACTER FOR DAZAI #THAT WOULD BE SUCH A VALUABLE FUCKING RESOURCE BC I DID SOME ANNOTATIONS IN THEM TOO BUT MY BOOK IS ANOTHER FUCKING STATE #I HATE IT HERE FML

the longer his hair gets the more brooding he looks

#river dipping #theodore doe #echthroi #ts4 #ts4 edit #i feel unwell........................ what if . i switched his hair again . .. #nvm that it literally doesn't make sense at all for his hair to be this long in the story atm when he cut it all off at like 17... #i need to make theo at 27-29 so i have a version of him that always has this hair #he was blessed with good skin but i think he'd lose some of the baby fat in his cheeks and he'd get some wrinkles between his eyebrows... #he doesn't emote often yk so no smile lines </3 or anything like that... but he's definitely always glaring at ppl dfjkfhnk #theo my strap is eight inches forget about matthias i can change your life 🗣️ #i’ve been thinking abt making mattodore in their thirties or forties just bc there’s this hair that i think would be perfect for matthias #who—despite his best attempts at maintenance—can’t stop his hairline from receding a bit as he ages #i just know he’d look so good with a little gray as he hits his early to mid forties too… and theo… #sorry just thought abt theo with gray hair and blacked out

okay all fun and games when ty kisses kit’s freckle but imagine tessa kissing it when she wants to comfort kit after a panic attack or something

#like she hugs him and whispers that everything will be okay #that he’s okay #and she kisses his freckle and strokes his head :(( #im just so glad that kit has her #bc she loves him so much (as does jem and mina) #and he really just needs to be surrounded by all the love in the world #now we only need ty to come back and make him realize just how loved he really is #i’m unwell #tessa gray #kit herondale #the wicked powers #secrets of blackthorn hall #twp #sobh #tsc

i've been listening to Can't Catch Me Now for days now.

it is my entire personality. it has consumed me. i-

the beauty, the rage, the sadness. i am BANGIng my head against the wall, do you understand me? 2023 is for the dystopic girlie reinassance and i feel so ALIVE.

#i need the hunger games like i need air #i need to be put down #i am rabid i am unwell i am not fit for organized society #tbosas #thg #the hunger games #the balad of songbirds and snakes #can't catch me now #olivia rodrigo #i mean do you remember the groundbreaking poetry of safe and sound? we were not worthy. #this is up there. i can't stop i'm so sorry i'm so obsessed with this song and like #how WELL it captures Lucy Gray's legacy. #the ability to make this fucking man hysteric enough that it would be his downfall #a girl like Katniss was always going to come along to deliver the final blow #a girl like Katniss was not just inevitable but like Lucy Gray only a matter of time #because even if it lands on top snow does fall in the end #coriolanus snow #coryo snow #lucy gray baird #katniss everdeen

Sorry midnight idiot brain thoughts but. I’m thinking about that Vento Aureo interpretation where Giorno doesn’t actually care about drugs and stuff, he’s just telling Bucciarati what he wants to hear. And that’s usually a way to paint Giorno as a villain or whatever, but if we take Purple Haze Feedback into account. Something weirdly bittersweet about Giorno, who didn’t truly share Bucciarati’s dream at first, ending up eliminating the drug trade as his first priority as the boss. Idk.

#does this make sense #sorry i like to look at giorno through a very specific lens #morally gray going into vento aureo ready to manipulate and sacrifice anyone necessary for his dream #and then getting hit with ‘oh shit i actually really care about these people and i don’t want them to get hurt’ when it’s too late #and shrouding the resulting guilt with this cold stoic facade. but honoring his fallen friends (his first friends) in his own subtle ways. #ohhh giorno you are in blood stepped in so far etc etc #we need to get you some therapy also it’s okay to show people that you care about them you don’t have to keep everyone at an arm’s length #jjba #purple haze feedback #giorno giovanna #bruno bucciarati

i don't think valerie understands how much of a menace danny can be actually

imagine danny mentioning the fact that he sent a swat team over to vlad's house causing it to be destroyed again all bc he thought it'd be funny

she just finds it hilarious and then he keeps cracking her up by telling her all the other crazy shit he did to vlad

valerie's just sitting there dreamily sighing and internally thinking what is wrong w him <3

#when i told alex this in dms they said #she's like i don't need to fix him i want to see what other fucked up shit he does <3 #that's so true honestly #danny phantom #gray ghost #robi rambles

Observing peoples reactions to morally gray or black actions committed by different characters is so funny. Throughout all of G. War the character tags were chock-full of people unironically enraged claiming “Bruce isn’t even capable of doing something bad like that.” about an action that is pretty well in line with his character journey thus far, meanwhile there are still new posts that gain traction that open with lines like “I know Jason has committed his fair share of sins/crimes but” like bro when. In 2010?

Also. The whole premise of the b*tfamily™ that you so love is built on the load bearing wall being that they are a crime family. Hell, do people just collectively forget the part where Bruce manufactures and freely uses weapons with his own furry brand logo plastered all over them, causing all sorts of 'explosions and more!' property damage all over the streets of Gotham? Pretty sure that makes him a terrorist but you people don't feel the need to go around reminding fandom of that every five minutes.

#as someone who loves post crisis Jason more than the average person who considers themselves a Jason fan: #how much longer are we going to pretend that’s still where we are today #to all the people who get so fucking worked up anytime Jason does something other than sit there and look pretty #what exactly do you want to see him do in comics anyway? vacuum his apartment? #like please let him fuck shit up for people whose plans were messed up anyway please let him have opinions and act on them #kelseethe #these people assume fans like Jason *despite* all his ‘wrongdoings' #when we repeatedly post about why Jason fucking with people was epic and cool and justified #while they sit there being upset that their traumatized problematic fav with a god complex #acts like a traumatized problematic bitch with a god complex lol #‘do Jason fans even know why they like his character’ seems like someone is in need of some introspection #disclaimer: l'm not a bruce anti. you know that liking a problematic character doesn't mean wanting to erase #every atrocity he committed and putting him through a redemption arc #I just have low tolerance for the utter ignorance of some of his fans lol #and that of his writers who market him as the agreeable voice of reason #while simultaneously portraying him as an abusive father + war criminal lol #the way I used the terms ‘morally gray/black’ here is subjective. #personally I don’t consider killing drug dealers/kingpins in a fictional universe morally gray because I’m not a fucking narc lol #but abusing your son for over a decade then literally breaking his brain is undeniably morally black in & out of universe

FUCK

In the euphoria of booking my tattoo appt (AND PAYING THE NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT) I did not. Think to check. When my next period was gonna be.

Well. This is going to be a. Hm. Interesting 8 hour session of being stabbed with needles while lying down unable to curl up.

#tmi sorry #franposting #ofc i did this to myself #where does the line between unwanted pain bc im a soft baby end #and the socially acceptable forms of self harm bc im a masochist apparently begin #im just chillin in gray area no mans land of physical pain #why is physical pain so much easier rhan mental tho. the real question #(at least for me) #can you take painkillers when getting tattoos????? oh this is gonna be. well it sure is gonna be smthn #i dont buy the all good art stems from pain bs. but in this case... #once again its like. free uterus to a good home. it came with it but owner has no need or desire for one

i also learned that being top ranked in your class does not make you very smart..a lot of these kids were either just so out of touch from things outside of academics, they grew up in honor roll and would look down at people who were in normal classes and i think having friends and classmates with those kinds senitments really harmed me when i started to be in normal classes, and some of the dumbest things ive ever heard have come from peers who were top ranked in our class

#like hearing transphobic things coming from a kid everyone thought was so sweet and kind and won all kinds of rewardw #a friend telling me that people choose to live in the ghetto #a friend who had a record of saying things to other friends in our friend group that were pretty mean id need a separate post for him tbh #a friend who was messing around with this guy who threatened to kill her and ignored all our warnings from us #all top 10 students that im no longer friends with but i feel better for it #not saying people with 4.0 gpas are evil and im jealous. i am jealous but #with all the drilling into ur head the ed system does you lose yourself and start to think its the world #when it really isnt ik someones gonna care about my shitty grades but i know its not the end of the world for me #now that ik that is probably why i dont have gray hairs anymore #im still a little dumb but that has nothing to do with it hehee

The fact that right after finishing Jekyll and Hyde, we're getting Dorian Gray is really fitting honestly...

Are there any established crossovers? The themes of reputation and corruption would really lend to a good crossover.

Don't tell me LXG. No. Don't. I know for certain Alan Moore was too busy being sexist and racist to explore the actual themes of the stories he was ripping from. And larger scale crossovers aren't really good at exploring all the characters equally anyway. Lots of wasted potential.

I'm talking just about my two toxic sons. I feel like one could draw parallels between Hyde growing in stature as he commits more atrocities and Dorian's painting growing more demented as he commits his.

#jekyll: *sees pretty boy* 'ugh how does he go about his life so free from the weight of sinful impulses' #dorian: *spits on a baby and laughs guilt-free* #jekyll: 'HE DOESN'T! HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR! HALT BLOND CHILD! I NEED TO KNOW YOUR SECRET' #the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde #the picture of dorian gray #honestly i feel even the titles have similarities #jekyll and hyde weekly #dorian gray weekly

(Between AU) would it help to split the conflict in two? First they deal with the external conflict of ending Trollstice, then Branch deals with his internal conflict of how much he identifies with the other trolls? That would make it more of a two-act story that would maybe give more time for character development?

OOOOOOOOOOO MAYBE!!!

The main thing is that it's Trollstice in particular/Chef bringing in actual, full-color Trolls, that initially gets the ball rolling on Branch's character arc. I do want the two to intertwine but it would be possible to cut things up a bit while still keeping them connected... maybe the Trollstice issue is resolved mid-movie but then Chef refuses to accept that verdict and enacts her coup plans? Would make it easy to create a lowpoint for Gristle low enough for Branch to be prompted into action (singing)...

#ask zaz #between au #i'd still need to think about it but this could be so so interesting fr #and again it's not like ALL of branch's identity issues are resolved within the movie anyway #he's still got a lot to process yet‚ if only so his arc can continue to evolve in the way it does in world tour #...could also do something with the fact that all the trolls turn gray in the pot. if branch isn't in there then like. #Epic Fail on chef's part bc gray trolls don't do shit #but bridget freeing them all is so so integral to her character‚‚‚‚ #AUGH

can we see all matthias outfits ? 👉🏻👈🏻

matthias keeps it very simple

#river dipping #asks #anonymous #matthias evanoff #echthroi #ts4 cas #meant to reply to this earlier but started feeling ill and had to lay down </3 but anywayyy here u goooo #these aren't even all of his outfits lmao... #most of my ocs have every outfit category maxed out except for like one or two in case i need pose related outfits #but so okay. matthias isn't about flashing his wealth to ppl who don't get it so his clothing choices are expensive but not like... #monogramed all over and branded with the tags still on #i actually edited OUT a logo for prada on that first outfit in the second image lmao... he does not like logos on his clothes #the only accessories he ever wears are one of his watches or leather gloves of which you can see NEITHER in these photos but kjndfkjnd #i didn't have a pose that showed off his wrists/hands that didn't also clip with the clothes so </3 #and he wears black white gray and shades of brown and red if you can't tell.............. sometimes dark blues but doesn't deviate often #honestly my ocs are pretty influenced by my own color palette like i almost exclusively wear blacks and whites and shades of green or brown #also if u zoom in on that last pic w/ his sleep outfit you will not be seeing heaven anytime soon like jsyk don't do that

#i made a art #my stuff #marker art #sunset #🌅 #i mainly do photo edits but I've been wanting to try my hand at irl stuff for a while #i used to doodle a lot growing up but it was always abstract and i want to learn #how to make art that looks like a real thing #bought a bunch of markers at OW for 50c sale but i know I'm gonna need dozens more #right now my palette is restricted to sunset bc all i have are yellows and a pink and green and blue and gray #and thee lightest pink ever and shade '0' which is white ink that does Not show up on white paper so #gonna have to figure out what the point of that one is #artists on tumblr #btw: that sketchbook is smaller than my palm. all i have are a variety of mini sketchbooks #bc they're cute and cheap and teen me used retail therapy to try and combat depression emptiness and misery #and crushing loneliness and yet. never arted in them. glad i didn't throw them out though. #10-15yrs later they've come in handy. at last!
