#but the rest is up in the air

[cyanogen-miasma]

YT recommended me this Indian folk metal song called Dana Dan by a band called Bloodywood and...oogh

*quietly adds to the list of song I make animatics to in my head but never put on the computer*

content warning, it does address bad things that men do to women, so if you don't want to have stuff like that popping up on your playlists then..don't do that but

aaahhh

I know I've somehow ended up an animal jam blog but what I really came here to do was ramble about my ocs

and the ocs whom this song would apply to are due for a rework but I need to explain this

so there's this kid called Virus (I am changing her name in the rework because I want to make a conlang for the species she belongs to) and her dad is Vantablack (again, due for a name change). Vantablack is very neglectful and mean to her because of a disability that she has (the species they come from are derived from Lepidopteran insects, and she was born without wings), and is low-key kind of scummy to all the women in his life (he's not a rapist, as is mentioned in the song, but the vibes are there)...anyway...stuff happens and all this culminates in Virus smashing in Vantablack's head with a mace, and then doing a 'disrespecting the dead' sort of thing (that's a whole other thing that I won't explain here)

it's not 1:1 with the song but the raw energy of 'BRING THE BEATDOWN BRING THE BEATDOWN' the drive to slay the monsters, the sheer anger that people stoop to such lows and that society has produced the environment that funnels people down this pipeline, the grief over the lives destroyed or lost through the madness, and the vengeance awaiting those who exploit others, but also the visceral pain of being trapped in this system and the desire to topple the status quo...very Virus-core if you ask me

god I need to change their names...Virus was created in 2018....I was 12

oh yeah and just to clarify this is the kitties to bugs lore overhaul

#the struggles of an amateur animatior #cw rape #i don't want to tag any music tags because i'm scared #oc: virus #oc: vantablack #oh yeah oc tags #will have to change them when i come up with names #something like 'yrska' or something to that effect to virus #really want a weird y at the front...really welshing it up #and a funny little consonant cluster #and two syllables #but the rest is up in the air #thinking of making the name come from the word meaning 'pestilence' in the conlang #but of course the conlang doesn't exist #for vantablack i need to make the conlang because i want the name to mean exactly 'light eater' #because 1: that's basically what the material vantablack does (material science people don't come at me you know i'm right) #2: it's like and affectionate thing his parents would've named him #'he's eating our light' as in 'he has all our attention because he's our precious little boy' #and 3: because he drestroys the lives of everyone around him...he eats people's light #as in he kills people #astrodoptera

thinking of changing my main social media username (not this one) but i have no ideas :/// pls suggest ideas my brain isn't working

Yeah but what if they're some oddly high budget cartoon from the 00s???

#atlus adds gradients to the animation to launder money kind of budget i mean lol #something like an angsty teenage drama cartoon that gets cancelled after 1 season and the ending was a cliffhanger #only for it to gain notoriety in the late 10s and fans begged them to bring them back #and then season 2 came out decades later and Shinji and Minako are dating for like 5 eps only to break up #like thats outrageous there's no such things as that kind of series happening ahaha #anyway this is like a reference for me i figure out how to draw them to fit my style more #now I have to figure out Aki and the rest of the gang lol #and then in 10 months you will see me recreating my fav scenes as if they aired on cartoon network or something lol #asukart #persona 3 #persona 3 reload #shinjiro aragaki #kotone shiomi #minako arisato #shinjiham #foolmoon #persona 3 portable #persona 3 femc

#The Wheel of Time #twotedit #wotedit #thewheeloftimeedit #zoe robins #madeleine madden #josha stradowski #kate fleetwood #natasha o'keeffe #daniel henney #mun #.gifs #time to pick up this again #I didn't finish watching rest of the season when it aired

[bread-wizards]

I find it interesting that out of all the party, Laudna and Orym are following in Ashton's footsteps a bit in hiding things from the party (Orym with the Nana Morri deal, Laudna with her interacting with/talking to Delilah more and more), and I wonder how much of it is the residual impact that Bor'dor's betrayal had on them.

#critical role #cr3 #orym #orym of the air ashari #ashton greymoore #ashton #laudna #text post #i often think about the episode after everyone was reunited and the vastly different tone between the groups #laudna was angry because she had given into delilah and killed bor'dor and the others had a somewhat nice break #orym was betrayed by someone he trusted with info on his husband but he turned out to be part of the group responsible for killing him #ashton's immediate response to it alludes me but i find it interesting how his first response was damage control #he didn't stop it but he was there to pick up the pieces as much he could #but like he has tried with orym someone needs to look out for the people who are looking out for the rest #which is why i think his taking of the shard was born out of a skewed form of protectiveness #we need the power and it could kill someone so ill do it to keep the damage to a minimum #the other group got romance out of it #fcg and frida #fearne and chentey with deanna #even imogen later with laudna once they got back #prism was a nice friend as was deni$e #but deni$e also reminded orym of dorian (as in of his existence since she knew of dariax) which rubbed salt in that wound a bit #i know it was funny but also ashton and laudna being a bit insecure about orym being prisms 'best friend' was interesting too #not that i blame either of the ladies for that it was just an unfortunate small thing that I feel contributed to a larger problem #because since they got back laudna has been talking with delilah more and relying on her powers #after imogen said she was disgusted by knowing delilah is watching them #orym went behind their back to make a deal signing away his life with nana morri #and talking more about how lonely he is and thinking about dorian a lot more #we have seen the result of ashton being that he nearly killed himself #but the split really fucked those 3 up

I've drawn Loop Goop before but not my actual capital h Headcanons so. Here's how Loop bleeds in my mind

#codacheetah #my art #isat #in stars and time #isat loop #cw blood #cw injury #warning for ig more explicitly gory thinking in the rest of the tags ---> #i just think it's inchresting to think about.... does loop even have organs? #im on team 'miscellaneous goop and flesh in the vague shape of a body system. like if u stuck ur hand in their star and pushed through #(which is something you could totally do. with some resistance) #you could feel around up in there and there'd be noticable masses but none of them would be fully developed as organs. like theyd be kinda #liquefied and only loosely connected to each other. #loop doesn't actually NEED to sleep or breathe and they can't eat but they are capable of circulating air around in there and theyll go nut #like mentally if they dont sleep. but if pressed they dont actually have any inescapable bodily needs. #even in terms of injury they'd be kinda hard to kill since none of their 'organs' actually do anything. it'd just be a game of waiting for #them to either empty out or go catatonic from pain #um. anyways. sorry to keep afflicting you with random injuries for the sake of experimentation loop

Reading the BtAS comic run has lead to one and only one conclusion

#Batman #twobats #bruharvey #Batman the animated series #I didn’t even grab that many these were just ones I /already/ had on my phone #this doesn’t even include the ‘he took a bullet for me’ #really liked in BtAS when Judge showed up and started trying to kill criminals and Bruce’s response was to immediately start stalking Harvey #like say you care 100000% more about one of them than the rest without saying it. yes they did list him as next target on the news but Bruce #was on the ground in a disguise stalking Harvey’s ass /before/ that news aired

New Airdates for… Tomorrow!

Because of the CRAZY amount of leaks that have been happening lately (like… entire scripts/animatics for episodes kind of leaks), people started a hashtag for Gloob to premiere the episodes early since they have basically already been entirely spoiled by leakers and… it worked!

So tomorrow December 30th, Gloob will be airing S5E19 Pretension and S5E20 Revelation at 7:55 pm Brasilia Standard Time (source).

These are crazy far into the season, and VERY important episodes (especially the latter) so as always TAG YOUR SPOILERS, stay safe, have a happy New Years, and see you tomorrow!

#sorry I’m so late me and my cousin stayed up last night and I woke up at 4:00 PM LMAO #anyway #idk how to feel #on the one hand I know the major scenes of these two eps already #bc I kept running into leaks #and might as well find out the rest through the actually episode #rather than scripts and messy story boards #BUT ALSO #avoiding spoilers from episodes that air is TEN TIMES HARDER #than avoiding spoilers from leaks #so :/ #it’s hard #ml #miraculous ladybug #mlb #ml news #miraculous #ml episodes #miraculous: tales of ladybug and cat noir #miraculous tales of ladybug and chat noir #tales of ladybug and cat noir #mine

helloooo my dearest darling listeners, i am back on my soapbox to regale you all with the marvelous things i witnessed/experienced on my Whimsical As Fuck™️ three hour drive today. not necessarily in order <3

some cute does with bigass floppy ears / very sweet waitress who called me "hon" and put the most tasty looking crepes on my table / a pair of hawks divebombing a golden eagle / a kite (the bird) / a flock of magpies / some GORGEOUS scenery / a rainbow / lovely rain sprinklings / MORE gorgeous scenery, i mean what the fuck / fields of purple/orange/red tipped bushes / a meadow of buttercup-yellow very tall grass, in which many picturesque trees stood / lots of fluffy, adorable, tasty cows / a large herd of likely-feral horses with a wonderful variety of patterns & colors / the fluffiest husky ever / the juxtaposition of cold wind through an open window + warm sunlight / the most stunning snow-coated mountain of whites and blues in the sun, wreathed in clouds / no seriously some really fucking Gorgeous scenery, i was near tears with some of it

#i am feeling. Better Than I Have In A While #you know! last night i was very unhappy that i would have to do this drive! #but after my 2 hour doze in the ihop parking lot #and a nice breakfast of crepes and tea w/ my book #i was feeling better and decided Fuck It. im gonna make myself enjoy this drive #im gonna take my goddamn time and really absorb my surroundings #by fuck i will stop at a rest stop and take a walk! and i did all of it! #life is actually worth it! glad to have continuous confirmation of that #its so nice to drive and actually see things #beautiful landscapes... wildlife... Geography... #instead of just Flat. Scrub. Brown. More Scrub. Dirt. Dead Scrub aka Tumbleweed. Boring Brown Hills. No Weather. #i can go outside the clouds are Full and the air is Fresh and birds are Singing and i am Alive #absolutely unprompted #i expect the feeling of realness to fade soon but i will enjoy it while it lasts! #and maybe if i feel it often enough it will outlast the disconnect! #now i think i am going to treat myself to a pork bun i just bought & get one of the nice beers from the garage #ive Earned It! #you all treat yourself to something you like as well. we have all earned it simply by existing! #you're here today! Yippee! indulge! #im feeling so fucking whimsical today... ill go work on setting up my extra monitor and figuring out how the fuck that works! #my mic has already arrived! i have hope that i will do a test stream Soon!

dave "the only touch i know is my older brother's violence" strider and jade "i've long forgotten what the touch of another human being's felt like" harley both being lonely best friends struggling with their touch starvation but maneuvering through it and healing from it with each other's guidance and company

#xi #davejade #dave putting up walls to hide his starvation from everyone else #jade softly knocking at the walls hes put up and waiting for him patiently until he feels ready to let her in #even if waiting a thousand years for him meant letting her touch starvation grow hungrier and consume her completely #dave finally letting jade in but bit too late and now jades been left waiting and starved for too long. she just misses the warmth of a hug #dave hating the sight of his best friend so... sad and weak and tries to awkwardly hold her even if he doesn't know what a real hug is like #dave tentatively reaching out for jades hand for a few moments before his own starvation gives in and pulls her in for an abrupt embrace #its awkward. very. dave hugs jade with his elbows pointed out weirdly and with his hand hanging in the air not knowing where to rest itself #but once jade hugs back by looping her arms around him and pulling him close all the tension disappears between them and it feels just righ #just. the thought of both of them being just right for one another. willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. #your honor i love them

how did dorym nation go from winning so hard to losing so hard in the span of 2 episodes....MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 😭😭😭

I. KNOW. i just keep thinking about how things would be different if dorian had been able to stay or pop in or even just if the sending stones worked. i think there's going to be so much pain and frustration and anger from dorian not necessarily with orym but like. i keep thinking about "no debts between us". and how whether it's internal and how orym is built or because watching the hells lately has put so much weight and responsibility on his shoulders, he's gotten to feel so indebted or something like that so as to make a deal essentially signing away his future with a hag to make up for it. but then there's an empathy there that i don't know the rest of the hells will quite have because dorian made a deal with a betrayer god to keep the crown keepers safe. they're cut from such a similar cloth in that way that i just wonder what kind of... warnings? dorian might have been able to pick up on that have slipped through the cracks without him because orym's been written off as the most stable one of the hells. i just. need to know how dorian is going to react.

#sorry it took me so long to respond! ive been on a family trip for about a week and have had no time to have coherent thoughts #i think that dorian will just be able to read orym like a book before they even get a moment alone to catch up #i don't mean to write the rest of the hells off esp fearne but orym is missing his most fierce defender and i just wonder #i don't think he would have/could Fix Him™️. but i just really wonder what damage control? he might have been able to do along the way #before orym got to the point #idk if this makes sense or means anything i've just been rotating the dorym intricacies of it all around in my brain for days #dorym #orym of the air ashari #dorian storm #critical role #bell's hells

tdov was like a week ago already but I just wanna say when I came over to vacation slash help my sworn brother move flat he told me, "ever since you said you wanted to get top surgery I've been thinking about it. it's straight up number two on my bucket list"

#bakuspeech #number one is a house bc obviously. if u can own a house wouldnt u #he was very drunk at that time of the evening. I was not bc I have the constitution of a hot air balloon and any stimulant will blow me up #(relatively new development. france fucked me up big time turns out) #we held hand on his bed for like the whole evening. it was honestly very funny in hindsight but we were extremely earnest in the moment #and Im like. working on this thing as well. I dont got meds or therapy lmao Im bootstrappin here #but yeah early last year his bf offered to get me meds and I... turned it down... I think I was worried abt like. idk. something #but one year past looking back Im fully like that was a stupid move you shouldve gotten meds. youve once again fucked urself baku #but yeah with that kinda realization Ive also come to realized I've somewhat? accepted. that I'm just gonna be. like this #this in light of a number of likely chronic stuff too (hence my balloon-like constitution lmao) and #that's kinda bled into the rest of me without me really noticing #but him bringing that up fully unprompted... kinda jolted me out of it #its just. really incredibly sweet. that someone doesn't want me to settle for what I make do with #and like. preps for that work. just kinda held my hand and told me it's possible to do this actually #I didn't really express how I felt very well in that moment I think my brain is very bad and I process emotions with like a day of delay #but. well. Im thinking abt it Right Now. so yknow thats the kind of impact that had on me lol #not super sure why I wrote all this down here really. I think I just want a good n nice reminder that object permanence is real #and I exist in my friends' life even when Im going insane in a hole by myself #and with the power of friendship we can alter the universe's plan for ourselves and also kill god #that's that. anyways I eat lunch now and then pass out probably. last night was... eventful lmao #but!! very good things on the horizon hopefully. well manifestly we hold hammers and we use them #have a good day lads. let's go out and slay monsters under a highway
