#he just seems so peaceful

[hellenhighwater]

When my nephew was four, a friend of the family passed away. The man was in his 90s and died of natural causes, and we were going to the funeral. We sat my nephew down and explained who this was, and that he had passed away, and now we were going to a sort of quiet party to celebrate him, and that there he might see the gentleman in the casket, and he might be very still, because he had died, but that everything was alright.

My nephew contemplated this calmly for a few minutes, and then said, "I think he will be very flat."

What.

It turns out that at age four, my nephew's only real context for death was roadkill, which he frequently pointed out while we were driving. He therefore believed that the only way anyone died was getting run over by a car.

#He seemed very at peace with this ending? We had to explain that there were non-roadkill ways to die. #also my nephew literally never uses contractions when he speaks #so he just seems very formal at all times

Hiding the rest of this HUGE comic behind a readmore for ur sanity

Hes got the keenest eye for these things!

Now that this is hiding behind a readmore i can justify writing an essay in here. Nothing big tho i am just very chatty :)!

Postgame where Peppino still gets visits every now and again from the bosses of the tower. I already drew one for the noise (lmao) but i wanted to draw each of the main four interacting with him in some way.

Pepperman is a refined and well renowned artist. His art is highly sought after and his advice is not taken lightly. He has many MANY fortunes to pull from to make his visions a reality and to influence anyone to do anything. Except for Peppino.

From the very first fight, Pepperman is immediately, overwhelmingly obsessed with this stout little brawler. He is much much more than what meets the eyes. He is initially extremely offput and annoyed that a human so boldly decided to waltz into his domain, and he expects to be able to steamroll and bully this…beast…out of his place of work. He is refined when he wants to be, but he is quick to use his brute strength to get what he wants if only bc he knows he can do it

And so when he decides to fully charge and thrash this little trembling human, expecting him to skitter away the second he gets struck, he is completely unprepared for when he gets launched to the other end of this room. The human looks so incredibly PISSED, like a bull seeing red, and suddenly this little altercation suddenly became a real actual ‘knock your teeth out’ brawl. This human is only like half his height, but his punches and bashes fucking knock the wind out of him.

And like ! To add insult to injury!!! After he wins the fight! He visibly deflates, the adrenaline seemingly wearing off. Hes just this trembling fuckin whelp again !!! Whimpering as he fucking runs back out through the portal to do god knows what. And Pepperman could not be any more fucking intrigued. Like this no name came in, whooped his fuckin ass, and went about his day. Its unreal

While Peppino is running around climbing the tower, Pepperman is in his room losing his mind. Hes obsessed. No one has challenged him in this way. No one has fought him and WON. He is ALWAYS able to bully people into submission either through brute force or with money, and he got his ass handed to him !! He needs to know more. Its quite literally consuming him.

Cut to the final fight, set up for a rematch; and he knows he is going to get steamrolled again but it is SO exhilarating to get another chance to see this humans form up close again. This time he can try to commit everything to memory. Its all such a blur though, and in a quarter of the time it took to end their first fight, its over. He gets to watch the human fight the gunslinger with his bare hands, no gun necessary, and he doesnt even bat an eye at what looks to be a clone of himself. He is a force of nature tearing through every single defense, and when Pepperman watches the actual final fight with the bizarre little pizza man, its like hes caught in a movie. The rain, the storm, the atmosphere. He wishes he could burn the entire scene into his mind.

So when everything returns to normal, he takes the time to travel for days to come and find this little human named Peppino. The memory is still strong and vivid but eventually, details will start to slip his mind. He needs to find this human, convince him to sit and do some still life sessions with him to help cement the humans appearance in his head. He hasnt had to resort to…asking for permission for anything in a loooong time…he bullies people into doing what he wants but Peppino is not your average person, and if he wants something from this man, he’ll have to meet him at his level.

He...can make an exception for Peppino...he supposes.

#pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #peppino #pepperman #i love love love how this little comic turned out #esp with how peppino came out in so many panels #esp the one w pepperman holding peppino close: that one is the best i think #anyway #yeah #heehee #this is not intended to be shippy but do as u please #pepperman is just an artist that appreciates beautiful BEAUTIFUL forms #and people who defy him #and he has No filter #peppino is like oh my god #hes eccentric…the worst kind of person…. #but like #no one has tried to fight him since the tower collapsed #and everyone seems peaceful enough now #so if this weirdo thinks hes ‘beautiful’ and ‘exquisite’ and ONLY wants to spend some time to draw him #well thats better than fighting again; hell take it #also #heehee yes; peppino is using a walkman #hes been holding onto that shit for decades its his ol reliable

Oumota comic, Part 1

Headcanon - Kaito has nicotine withdrawal during the events of Danganronpa V3 (among other things, what happens to him there). Just a cute little comic

Part 2: https://www.tumblr.com/breadmecoshy/747478711136354304/jhgfd?source=share

This headcanon was born out of Kaito's official art with a tobacco pipe, and how irritable and aggressive Kaito is sometimes portrayed

I think he started smoking with the handouts of his older comrades at his astronomical internship. Maybe he thought it was cool, or maybe he just didn't want to be perceived as a child :D

To be continued! (and only Kaito and Kokichi will be in it, I promise)

#I mean have you seen people who are trying to quit smoking? #They fucking hate everything around them #It never seemed to me that Kaito was AS intolerant of others as he is sometimes shown #so I like to think that he was just worse off than we were shown in the game #The scene of the action is one of the additional peaceful post-game modes #danganronpa #danganronpa v3 #drv3 #drv3 kokichi #drv3 kaito #drv3 shuichi #drv3 kaede #drv3 rantaro #kokichi ouma #kokichi oma #ouma kokichi #kaito momota #danganronpa 3 #danganronpa kokichi #danganronpa kaito #danganronpa shuichi #danganronpa kaede #danganronpa rantaro #kaede akamatsu #rantaro amami #shuichi saihara

@vulpixisananimal sifstem art jumpscare!! more specifically i got bored and decided to mess around with sif and mal's outfits.

#my art #this is how I think theyd present themselves either in person or in headspace. the slouchers <3 #sifs outfit is simple; the boots i always give them (but with star laces for funsies); loose sweater; simple pants #the pants are Meant to be jeans but isat doesnt Specifically Have Jeans so. theyre just Pants. #the sweater is slightly looser bc sif doesnt seem like a Form Fitting Clothes kinda guy to me but hes Trying to be more open #on particularly good days theyll roll the sleeves up or wear a sleeveless one methinks #even if everyone Knows abt the self-harm scars its hard to Look at them. #i also associate them being more open with them not wearing an eyepatch. esp bc hes the only one of the three to go without it #for mal (or 'ami' as i like to call it) i wanted smth reminiscent of a mourning outfit bc mal du pays means homesickness #and i picked 'ami' as a nickname bc ami means friend :] at least according to my basic translator. i dont speak french <3 #ami's outfit being dark is also reminiscent of the inversion thing its got going on in canon. #ik the veil is starred in the original but i think ami would want the fewest reminders of home. on account of The Issues #(actually if i can come back to sifs laces sif also has issues with reminders of it bc of the memory loss but the shoelaces are His Choice— #—which gives them a form of control over it and they can keep it subtle or undo it if he wants. which makes it easier) #anyway. i put amis hair in an updo and smoothed the hat bc i think ami wants to be Unremarkable. Unknown. so it keeps its silhouette Simple #(it still keeps the pins. theres smth comforting abt them. they shine like stars and theyre not stars and theyre not Home. but theyre You.) #and i kept the long hair i gave loop. dont ask me why its so long when the canon hair is short. maybe their hair kept growing over the loop #OH and i drew ami in a side profile bc Silhouette and also bc i think itd make an effort to keep people away from its blind spot #andddd i think thats about it? plus i actually managed to keep this one within a reasonable timeframe. #if their hair changes lengths/the proportions change between drawings. no they dont 💛 peace and love and body craft #OH AND YOU FINALLY GET TO SEE WHAT I MEAN ABT SIFS BOOTS BC THESE ARE THE BOOTS I GAVE THEM ON MY REGULAR DESIGN ARENT THEY NEAT #i did actually try to give sif a different font but nothing Works for them like the pixel font. i cant explain it. #i think 'ami' would be a nickname that mira gives it. bc. shes Fantasy French. and its a sort of 'youre more than your yearning/loss' thing #me every time i think abt sifstem: yeah they just rotate in my head. nothing major #me every time i talk abt sifstem: oh hey im almost at tag limit again #au Good what can i say

Arthur Bennett was chemically made in a lab for me to go insane over I think. he’s got a guilt only an older sibling could have and a drive for vengeance that is half driven by his own self hatred. yet still he strives for peace. he’s desperate to cling to any humanity, any hope. he’s aware he’s fallible. it doesn’t save him

#he’s also a fuckin vampire sniper dude #tell me that’s not the hottest thing you’ve ever seen. I’ll wait #ok but fr #it’s that he’s so desperate and so angry and he wants so desperately to bring about peace but he just fails #he becomes so unrecognizable at the end and it’s so tragic bc you can see every moment he could have chosen different. but he doesn’t #he’s self aware of his failings and that’s part of his failings ironically enough #and that combo of older sibling guilt and survivor guilt and I’ve done terrible things guilt is fuckin unreal #he wants to be human and live in the sun and have this world of peace. but it’s a future he’d burn down for the twins without question #there’s no way he should have made it out of that arena. he’s always ready to sacrifice himself for the twins (for his younger siblings) bu #he just always survives. that seems to be his curse. so now he has to live with himself. now he has to face a future and try to get better #or fall further down. and I’m obsessed with him because as much as he could get better he really could just get so much worse #he knows he has the monster inside of him. he knows what to avoid. he knows what he could have become. and still he becomes it #if you saw this on twt hi lol #jrwi #jrwi the suckening #the suckening #the suckening spoilers #jrwi spoilers #arthur bennett #z speaks

[ID: two digital drawings of chuuya and dazai from bungou stray dogs. the first is a two panel comic in blue colours. the first panel shows chuuya leaving his house and closing his doors as he spots a wrapped gift at the bottom of the stairs. the second panel is his shaking in rage as he grips a long item of clothing still partially in the unwrapped box. the clothes' tag has a heart on it. the second drawing is of dazai sitting in chuuya's lap and licking his cheek. both are blushing. chuuya is saying, why... chuuya is wearing a german shepherd onesie and dazai is wearing a cat onesie. they're sitting on a pink couch. end ID]

say 'woof', chuuya :3

i love oscar so much but i truly think that as the introverted, shy person he is, las vegas is his personal hell 😭 like the jack daniel’s press event he looked so uncomfortable on stage and this picture is so cute but i can tell he would rather not be there

#lando is probably loving every moment #oscar is just counting down the days til he can leave #i hope he gets some peace after this weekend #but also this picture is everything 😭 #he’s just so cute and i wanna hug him so bad…it’s fine #las vegas seems overstimulating and i would never feel peace if i were there #mclaren f1 #f1 #formula 1 #oscar piastri #op81 #las vegas gp 2023

I have truly never seen so much discourse for a hero/anti-hero that kills until I started liking jason todd. I have literally never seen so many people get hate for not condemning a fictional character who kills bad guys until now its shocking! and I mean that literally

maybe I’m the one missing something but there are plenty of heroes (not antiheroes but HEROES) who exist that choose a lethal method and people take that in stride? the only way I can make sense of this is that people are so attached to batman and his mythos; they literally imprint on him and his thinking ?? and now any slight against him or challenge against his righteousness is taken as if its a slight against them.

at the end of the day, to me, you can still support jason being lethal because the fictional characters hes killing aren’t actually dead. in this sense, specifically, I don’t see why real life morals should be applied to a comic world. he’s not killing out of bigotry and if he was, I would get the controversy! but if you can agree with brutally beating and invasions of privacy in the dcu because it’s “morally correct” within the universe, I can’t see an argument against jason’s methods being morally wrong as valid unless those views are applied to every aspect of batman comics. if we did that, then everyone who continued reading these comics would be getting the same treatment jason todd fans do. ​you cannot hold one character accountable to real life moral views and not the other(s)!

#jason todd #dcu #jason todd meta #batman #dc meta #am I making any sense bc tbh I am writing this while permed and words sometimes don’t make sense to me then #let jason todd kill ! let him fuck up every villian that he meets ! no one thinks universe proclaimed villians dying are the same as killing #ppl in real life I promise u! #I just want to enjoy my anti hero crime lord vigilante in peace #you have arkham ASYLUM btw that is canonically a revolving door bc how else can we make money from the story if they stayed in ‘jail’ #and villains canonically proven to kill for the laughs or the drama or the fun of it and feel no remorse #and ur coming at me and talking about the death penalty being wrong in relation to this universe ? #WHAT ABOUT THIS UNIVERSE REMOTELY SEEMS LIKE ITS CLOSE TO REALITY #I think this controversy would benefit from ppl who dislike jason seeing jason as the ‘lesser evil’ instead of just ‘evil’ bc then that #would be so much more interesting ! he’s still a bad guy and u can still dislike him but at least for good reasons

sylvie screaming as she blasts magic into loki on the ferris wheel. how her shoulder slams into the door when his magic hits her, her emotions running too high to fight back properly the way she has for centuries. her machete shaking as she clenches and unclenches her fist, her voice shaking as she says this is all very familiar, isn’t it. taking steps forward and backward. she cannot let herself stay still, it is all too much, to be rehashing the same fight that drove her and loki apart from her life’s mission. the desperation in i can’t let him live. you think i want to kill him? she asks. you think it brings me pleasure? after her knees buckled underneath her when she killed He Who Remains the first time, after she realized it wasn’t going to ease the pain, why would he think she wants to do it all over again? she sticks by her moral compass as long as she can, doing what she swore she had to in order to ensure the world would have the free will she was denied, until she can’t. until she sees victor begging for his life, begging for a chance to become someone the timeline didn’t decree. and in that she sees herself, her tiny body being grabbed by ravonna and thrown into the TVA, for a crime she has yet to commit. only then can sylvie back away from her single-minded purpose that has kept her burning for so long, and she doesn’t trust herself not to change her mind. it was tactical to say get him away, because at any moment she might realize the gravity of abandoning her life’s work and change her mind. don’t make me regret this is her final warning to loki, who doesn’t bother trying to persuade her to come with him after seeing how firmly she claims to want nothing to do with him. one last lingering look between them.

#Sophia Di Martino i see all of the nuance you put into that performance and I praise you for it #It’s just so much she’s just so much #She wants peace and she wants to follow her morals and they seem fundamentally incompatible #And Loki seeing her shaking #Her trembling and crying #But he doesn’t do a damn thing because he must genuinely think he means nothing to her #Even after all the pleading #How loyal is he to the TVA now? Where did that mischief go? #Why does he really think she wants nothing to do with him? #loki #loki series #loki show #loki tv show #loki tv #sylvie #sylvie laufeydottir #loki s2 #anything for sylvie #loki meta #loki season 2 #juni analysis

Shinsou "I dont know why she's into me either" Hitoshi

ALWAYS on his "am shy and humble or actually just cocky" shit because sometimes this means he's holding your palms in his hands and getting all watery-eyed because he thinks you're WAY too good for him ... and other times it means cheers-ing someone when they get snotty about how you're out of his league.

They're trying to piss him off, meanwhile he's just raising his glass an tipping a shot back, kinda smirking, all: "cheers, I'll drink to that!" (then going home to make sure you aren't about to leave him--as if he doesn't have ROCK HARD ABS he wants you grinding against every night. why would you ever give that up????? adjflakdhj)

Not to mention all the times Denki asks him how he managed to score you and Shinso genuinely goes blank and has to take 20 minutes to ponder it too:

#shinso #staring out the window dead*ss only to come back like... idk man. #no im just kidding bc this is so real #same as always almost but he's so awed that he has you that he can't let anything disturb that peace #it's funny bc dudes are like 'ummmmmmm shinso is so mean and offputting..' and ur like 'THAT CUDDLE BUG? NO HE'S NOT????' #tbh everyone is confused lmao until they see him with u and u seem him with them #like u knew he was antisocial but u just forgot he was like. actually deadpan ignoring people he's not close with #but then he's kissing the back of your hand and your cheeks when it's just you too and no one's looking #like sir??? huh???? #plus he's hot as all f*ck so whys he ..kinda... begging you not to leave him???? sir. be for real. #BUT THATS ANOTHER THING HE LOVES. U 24/7 but when ur possessive or out on a date he's so MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE #before getting all flustered at himself #lmaoooo dflajklehfjalksdjfoija .dfjhakljsdhfkjadfklsja #hdsjkf i want him #hope this was okay! #caitie things #gen #anon

am i the only one who sensed some jilted lover vibes from jensen? 

#burcon #cockles #thoughts #at the start of the panel and through a few particular interactions he seemed very standoffish #he was giving a little bitter and hurt and perhaps even resentful - maybe he only learned of misha's gf #at this con too! maybe it was news to him. on top of not seeing misha for months i can understand #if he was feeling a bit neglected and out of the loop. there's also the matter of misha's gf not being #in a poly thing with jensen and dee like vicki was ie. what she has with misha is seperate so i'm sure #that's another difficult thing to deal with knowing their time together is strictly separate #i've no doubt he wants misha to have a partner and be happy but there's an adjustment period #letting new people into your life and whoever misha's partner is now or in the future is going to #affect jensen on a personal level and moreover his relationship with misha. it's all very intriguing #and while i like what little i've seen and heard about this woman for misha i just think no matter who #she is it's going to take a toll on jensen's relationship w misha. i thought it was plain to see on jensen's face #during their panel: numerous moments where he was giving a poker face that wasn't covering a laugh #but instead like he was trying to smooth out his bitterness. or so my eyes and brain and heart tell me. #just various moments where things looked uncomfortable and jensen making off-colour jokes that didn't land #and which furthermore were barbed and snarky - not in their usual banter way but like he was lashing out #and using the excuse of chaotic panel convo to explain away his comedic pitfalls. but again maybe i'm #looking to much into it? idk. there are some lovely moments! fun and caring moments - but they #mainly came from misha's direction ngl. it seemed like misha was trying hard to keep the peace #while jensen was just running his mouth on comments and jokes that kept not landing - for me #everyone on my dash is loving their dynamic this panel - and i want to feel that love! it is possible that #learning misha has a gf has skewed my perception a little like i'm putting context onto moments #i otherwise wouldn't. but i also think i would've laughed and generally felt better watching their panel #if that was the case. idk. whatever the reason i do think something was OFF between them on stage #and it was coming from jensen from the start. misha picked up on it partway though but things felt #a little strained throughout. like jensen wasn't looking at misha as much as usual or reaching out for him #misha tried to salvage and not react to things. but both their answers to the last Q were passive aggressive af #and when they left the stage together they weren't close or touching or chatting like they usually are...

Fic-to-Art #37: Jin and Tiang

If you're wondering about last month's artwork... it's not out and about because it was kind of unfinished :'D hence why you haven't seen it at all. But once I get the last details in (who told me to do more ensemble pieces, really...?) I'll make sure to post it!

Instead, have a glimpse of two characters I've never drawn before! That was the prompt this time, choosing something either uncommon or that I had never really drawn at all, and Jin and Tiang got the win! Tiang's design is very much something I settled on very recently, so if anyone didn't picture him that way, I totally get it x'D but as an OC, all sorts of interpretations are valid, I'd say. As for Jin, I hoped she'd look properly elegant without fully setting aside her roots. Her hairpiece isn't too big and ornamented, her hairstyle is mostly the one we knew her for in the show, but her clothes are high-end now due to her new status in society.

... Or, uh, you could say that's not reeeeeally her status anymore, let alone his, but let's call this a picture of carelessly happier times for these two, shall we? :'D

Hope you guys liked it! Will make sure to post last month's piece as soon as I can!

#gladiator #jin #tiang #fic-to-art project #they are a nice couple #the main directive for tiang's design was 'he's gotta be pretty' #so I hope I nailed it #hopefully this way it's easier to tell why so many families wanted him marrying their daughters #the daughters themselves surely were the ones begging their parents for it #but he just wanted his tea-loving girl #the bg's weak as shit because I had a lot of things going on #seems like I usually do lately #but hey I have moved out of a terrible place and to a much more peaceful and less anxiety-inducing one #no more living on a timebomb in fear that a certain toxic relative decides I'm an enemy somehow! #so hopefully that makes things much smoother for me going forward #we shall see! #aaaaaaaanyway enough personal stuff hope you like the pretty couple
