#hands are not my strong suit

day 2: brushing hands (first accidentally, later on purpose) (@benthan-week-forever)

thinking about how we started; remember i was impatient as hell. always said that i saved you - never was good at saving myself. i know love can be dangerous; that was never gonna change how i felt. oh & i could tell that no one ever could divide us. - "divide" by dermot kennedy

At first, it was an accident: a brush of the hand - but the spark it ignited was hard to withstand.

A lover's touch: so soft and sweet.

A moment that makes our hearts skip a beat.

Fingers like silk, sliding down the cheek - a feeling so strong, it's hard to speak.

The pleasure it brings is unique and rare - a moment that we both want to share.

We both know what we feel is real.

Our love for each other - we can't conceal.

We touch each other more and more - our love growing stronger than before.

We hold hands, we hug, we kiss.

The lover's touch is powerful indeed; It's a feeling that we both need.

We touch each other as if we're going away. Far, far away, but our love is here to stay.

“Lance is rude. Lance is a dick.”

Okay well you try being constantly asked by media in a crowded, echoing space if you’re having problems with your confidence after you’ve shown improvement that has been ignored. You try being kind to people only to have the kindness thrown back in your face and vitriol said behind your back. You try facing back handed commentary and snide remarks about your future. Day in and day out, you try having article after article slandering your name being put out simply because people hate that you have money in a sport where that is the norm.

I’d be fed the fuck up too. Lance shouldn’t have to play nice for these people to treat him with the bare minimum respect. He deserves his seat, and I’m sick of it always being questioned if he does.

#truly it is just so fucking ridiculous #I shouldn’t have to point out to people his countless good drives just so they will maybe start to take him seriously #lances talent has never been in quali #that’s just the truth of it #but his race pace and his ability to move up positions rapidly is #I’ve seen him do it countless times #to ask him about his confidence post quali which is not his strong suit on a technically challenging course is bs #Lance sweetie let me know if you want me to rock up to the function with nothing but my hands and some well placed words #lance stroll #formula 1

[blazepandaartz]

I’m gonna be completely honest here. I’ve forgotten how to draw hands when I was drawing this.

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

i'm desperate to know how many notebooks you have filled with these drawings. i must know, please, i'm on my hands and knees

Most of my comics are drawn on standard letter paper (8.5"x11"), and to date I have filled 23 pages! I usually manage to fit roughly 6-8 comics per page.

Mspaint recreation of the first page!

#ask #I have several more pages filled in a sketchbook for practice/studies and my 'better drawn' work #Each square panel is 1.5 inches (1/4 of a sticky note) and I use pretty small nub ink pens. #I actually hadn't counted how many I had filled (in my head it was roughly 1 new page a week) so this was a cool prompt to do so! #it's also wild to go back and look at my old comics! Really hits home how far I've come! #I felt so confident in my 3 panel format. Only to give it up by like... comic 11. #I meant to take a picture of the first early pages and compare it with the new comics but oh man taking photos was never my strong suit. #I hate shadows. I hate lighting. I hate angles. Defeated by the shadow of my hand and terrible camera quality. #I also do not have enough floor space to lay them all out... I Might need to ask a friend for their floor. And phone. #There's a little unused follower thank you i've never posted on the first page too! Argh...another time. #but yes! all of these exist in physical form. I need to invest in a little binder with protective sheets so I can flip through

Part 23. Contracted Liberation

<< First | < Previous | Next >

Description below the cut

Gabriel bangs his fists against the wall.

Gabriel: Nothing.  No sign of Adrien.  No leads.  And my arsenal of tools is completely ineffective.  My thumb on the mayor to control the police's search?  Marketing initiatives backed by a global brand?  The powers of the most feared supervillain in the world?  All useless!  And just to twist the knife, my akumas have started dying before they can evilize anyone!

Nathalie interlaces her fingers and looks away, in thought.

Nathalie (internally): It sounds like Catwalker has been using his Cataclysm preemptively.  Best not to point that out to Gabriel right now, though.  We shouldn't target Catwalker so soon after my truce with him and Ladybug.  Even if the heroes don't know how to contact Adrien, remaining cordial with them may open doors later on.

Nathalie points outward.

Nathalie (aloud): It's possible that the police who have been investigating Adrien's disappearance have been nearby often enough that they're shooting akumas on sight.  Perhaps you should consider going back to akumatizing those without any connection to Adrien?

Closeup of Gabriel gnashing his teeth.

Gabriel: Unacceptable!  I must find my son!

As Gabriel continues to bash against the wall, Nathalie comes up behind him.

Nathalie: If Adrien has any sort of agency right now, he might see all the akumas targeting him as a reason to stay in hiding.  Let up on that and he might consider Paris safe enough to come home.

Gabriel flings out his arm dramatically as a vein pulses in his forehead.

Gabriel: And if it wasn’t his choice?  Stopping my pursuit for even a moment could result in him slipping through my fingers permanently!  I will only stop using my akumas to search for my son when he is back under my roof where he belongs!

Nathalie puts her cellphone up to her ear.

Nathalie: Very well.  I'll make some calls.  If you need an akuma who is upset about Adrien, we can make one...

Nathalie (internally): One who will keep you busy until I figure out what to do next.

Cut to Kagami seated on the pink cushions in the ditch that comprises the seating area of Gabriel’s atelier.  She folds her hands over her lap on top of her notebook.

Nathalie: Thank you for meeting with me on such short notice, Kagami.

Kagami: You asked my mother to send me here.  How could I refuse?  I assume this is about Adrien?

Nathalie: It is.

Kagami: I suppose you want to involve me in a publicity stunt for your 'Find Adrien' campaign?  Is the 'kidnapping' story you fed the press no longer working?

Nathalie: This has nothing to do with marketing, I assure you.

Nathalie sits on the other side of the seating area and reads off something from her tablet.

Nathalie: Our 'Find Adrien' inbox received a peculiar anonymous tip: 'You have security cameras, go check the footage!'  We did.  Our security cameras caught nothing.  Just Adrien entering his room after he returned from his fencing lesson.  Nothing else.

Closeup of Nathalie’s face, her eyebrows accusatory.

Nathalie: It's strange that we acquired those security cameras from Tsurugi Industries, isn't it?

Nathalie puts down her tablet on the seat beside her.  Kagami folds her arms.  On the center block between Nathalie and Kagami, an assortment of Find Adrien posters have been placed, including a large billboard design near where Kagami is sitting.

Kagami: You think my mother had something to do with this?

Nathalie: No, Tsurugi-san would have no motive for hacking her product or absconding with Adrien. But you might. You would have been one of the last people to see him.  You had the opportunity to coordinate a plan with him.  Not to mention that you have a history of encouraging Adrien to go behind his father's back.

Kagami: So do a lot of his friends.  Blame them for hacking your cameras, I wasn't involved.  But if I had been asked, I would have helped Adrien flee this place.  He shouldn't have to put up with living by his father's rules anymore.

Kagami folds her arms and grins evilly.

Kagami: Frankly, I'm happy that he finally grew enough of a backbone to actually act.  There's nothing you can do to stop him now.

Cut to the back of the atelier by Emilie’s painting.  The hole for Gabriel’s secret elevator is open, inside of which the head of Shadowmoth is poking out of.  Shadowmoth taps out a message on his cane.

Nathalie (internally): This isn't working.  Kagami's not overwhelmed by emotion, she's just smug.  I'm out of my element here.  I've gotten used to defusing situations before they become a problem, not inflaming them.  Gabriel's far better suited to being a provocateur.  He knows what buttons to push and won't let anyone get in his way for long.  But since he insisted on hiding nearby to sic his akuma on her before anyone can interfere, I get to be the one to ruin someone's day...

Cut to a closeup of Nathalie’s tablet as it beeps with a new text message.

Nathalie (internally): Hmm?  A new message?

Shadomoth (text message): I left some stronger motivation for you in the Find Adrien inbox.  Use it. --🦋

Nathalie (internally): Gabriel, what are you up to now? *sigh* I guess I'll just have to go along with this...

Nathalie holds up her tablet and reads from it.

Nathalie (aloud): Oh my.

Kagami: What now?

Nathalie’s tablet: Banner: FIND ADRIEN.  From: [email protected]. We have Adrien Agreste in our clutches and are going to unalive him and you can't do anything about it!  Muhahahaha!

Nathalie: A ransom message just came through.  They're threatening to kill Adrien.

Kagami: To kill...?

Nathalie passes through the door out of the atelier.

Nathalie: Excuse me, I need to... speak with Mr. Agreste about handling this development.

Nathalie (internally): That should be enough motivation, right?

Cut to a closeup of Kagami opening her notebook, where she has taped a picture of her and Adrien and preserved a dried rose.

Kagami: Adrien didn't choose this?  This whole time I assumed that he ran away, but he really was kidnapped?

Kagami holds the rose in her hand, teary eyes clenched shut and teeth gritted.

Kagami: Whoever took him needs to pay for what they've done!

From the elevator hole, Shadowmoth raises out his hand and unleashes an akuma.

Shadowmoth (internally): Yes!  I can feel her anger now!

Shadowmoth (under his breath): Go, my akuma!

The akuma makes contact with the rose in Kagami’s hand.

Shadowmoth: Hello, Oni-Chan.

Cut to Nathalie eavesdropping from just outside the atelier, looking startled.

Nathalie (internally): Wait, Oni-Chan?  He was supposed to make her Riposte again, not—

Cut back to Kagami as the light mask illuminates her angered face.

Shadowmoth: The boy you so deeply care for is in grave danger.  I'm giving you the power to track down the last person who saw Adrien Agreste.  You will make them powerless to do anything ever again.

Kagami: With pleasure, Shadowmoth.

it's important to know how to dance, and who better to learn with than someone who's equally clueless?

to foklow up: go ahead! i love cxi so im fine w anything wauughhh

Thank you for allowing me to draw him and sorry for the bother!

Listen……… Kurohana Chinatsu is one of my favourite artists, whatever you might want to say about their art-style. And CXI, he's… So handsome. I seem to have a weakness for Riders.

This was one of the requests I did for this palette challenge! Thank you everyone who sent me their request!

#my art #ashur gharavi #If anyone mentions stippling to me im going to cry it takes so long #My hand cramped so many times #Also hands are not my strong suit goddamn that was a lot of drawing and erasing

#this is what we ​do to his desk every day while he’s trying to work #james spader #alan shore #boston legal #* #perhaps the last gif isn't necessary but. his chest looks so broad and strong and nice #maybe it's the angle. not like that's an unusual angle but? idk he just looks great. huggable I wanna put my head over his heart #fall asleep on him while he’s still fully dressed. you know he’s got the best dry cleaner. his suits are so nice to touch. silky ties #untucking his shirt and snaking a hand up under it to feel the soft cotton of his undershirt #rubbing his belly for him

Thinking about how EP 5 was so Stizzy Coded

#izzy hands #and 1-3 was edizzy #but honestly why did they give izzy so better moments with stede and ed than gb had with eachother #like there were a few decent moments #but none of them beat izzy and stede with the cursed suit and the ed and izzy gun scene #honestly 1-3 & 5 are my only valid eps of s2 #4 & 6 had good moments that unfortunately went nowhere/came out of nowhere and thus fall flat for me #ep 5 lives in its own imaginary universe where the rest of the season never happens #and we have a stede and izzy training plot as well as an ed reconnects with the crew plot for the rest of the show #and those happening together builds a strong crew that stops ricky / whatever villain #everytime I see that gifset of izzy giving the 😉👌 to stede and stede gives a big smile my heart grows
