#he's awful and he's my fav

[saturdaysky]

You may resist, but it's too late. You already embraced the powers the parasite gave you. You leveraged them to manipulate, to dominate, to survive. Your nature is no longer your own.

Mayhew failed the save to resist the Emperor's offer, and I have never been more pleased at a consequence! What an amazing moment.

Timelapse, line drawing, and character musing beneath the cut.

This choice!! Or rather, this lack of choice!

I love, love, love how failing the save made Mayhew's own will ambiguous, even to himself. He didn't want to be changed, he didn't want to forfeit his humanity (gnomanity)...or did he? He resisted. He opened his mouth to say I will not, but the door to his mind was already unlocked, power welcomed in. Mayhew will never know who unlatched it.

Also, while this is a Gale run -- Mayhew and Gale make each other worse in the most devoted, well-meaning way; the heavens will rue their names -- it also kind of feels like an Emperor run. A subtextual badwrong not-romance.

The Emperor and Mayhew are allies of circumstance turned intimate enemies. The Emperor listens to Mayhew's every thought, gives protection which Mayhew needs, offers advice and temptations which Mayhew takes. Mayhew likes the Dream Guardian; Mayhew cannot shut the Emperor out. Mayhew would see the Emperor dead, if he let himself think about it, but he would miss him after he was gone. And, of course, Mayhew is too curious for his own good, and the Emperor is full of answers.

For the two of them, partial ceremorphosis is a kind of consummation: what could be more intimate than shaping someone from within and without? Metaphorphosis is a gift, by one telling, and a horror story by another.

You are exquisite, the Emperor praised. Mayhew will never know if he became so by his own will.

(He failed the save by one (1) point.)

---

Timelapse! It includes all the silly things I drew for my friends, including: 1 tonsure, 3 neon signs, 2 cat emoji, 1 crotch face, and the emperor's armor drawn with my left hand. Spot them all!

Lines!

I don't usually work primarily with line, but I love it. In some ways, it's easier than painting, and in other ways much harder. I find I can't fudge things as much with linework as I can with paint; because the stroke is smaller, I have to be more specific. Even if I abstract details away, I need to understand the underlying form until I know what I am abstracting. It was fun having to be so rigorous.

#mayhew: who unlatched the door to my mind? how did this happen? #also mayhew: [eating his 20th mindflayer tadpole] #but also -- if you get Bernini Apollo and Daphne vibes from this art you are correct #this was such a fascinating moment and i am so glad mayhew failed #he's skirted through life evading consequences but this one got him!! #the emperor is awful but he's a fav. manipulate mansplain mindflayer am i right #my art #mayhew #bg3 emperor #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #the emperor x tav #gnome tav

it IS weird that the general consensus on twelve is that peter capaldi is an excellent actor but his episodes are bad (esp in comparison to the general consensus on series 5 being that it's some of the best the show gets) bc i am overall really enjoying series 8, a lot more than the last 3

#eleven had a bunch of episodes that were just hard to follow and thus hard (for me) to emotionally engage in #twelve is awful to people and this does deeply suck sometimes esp when it's just very unneeded #like insulting danny's intelligence or being randomly mean to courtney (what would i give for her and twelve to be given more time #and fleshed out a bit. why does he initially take her into the tardis? can we see more of that?) #but god. is mr capaldi bringing his 1000% everything to this role #those monologues ohhh yeah baby. all the episodes are leaning into the doctor feeling their age and the weight of the universe #w not much left to shield themself from that. so like. i buy it. he's just so fun to watch #and i know he gets like. progressively nicer as his era goes on so i have that to look forward to #dr who #i am being picky abt how clara is written bc im now measuring her against the standards of martha and donna #two of my fav characters in the whole show. by m*ffat standards s8 clara is blowing everybody out of the water #12 era

The Duckinator

#daffy duck #looney tunes #the looney tunes show #he's my perfect character. he is so unapologetically awful. but not in a villain way. just in an asshole loser way. he is the worst man #no job. no money. no goals. just get rich commit petty theft and go on shopping spree #he's like if jay ninjago scout tf2 and monarch venture bros had a baby and it was a duck #he's all my favs combined #art #fanart

[calkale]

not to bring this up AGAIN but i cant believe they did that to ilsa

#watching fallout and im trying to pretend mi7 doesnt exist but 😬😬😬😬 #literally how do you ruin a character that badly #shes my fav mi character and one of my favourite female characters in general cause shes written so well #and then that happened 🙄 #obviously mcq doesn’t deserve the hate he got for it but also i hope he knows what he did was shitty #it doesnt make sense story wise #its a horrible ending for her character #and its even worse if she comes back in the next movie thats awful writing no matter what #AND he just replaced her with some generic female character who had to be saved countless times throughout the movie 😐 #not to mention the way he and tom talked about ilsa and how much work they put into her character in rogue nation and fallout #I DONT GET IT WHY THROW THAT ALL AWAY #im so upset #mi #ilsa faust

15yo dion killed achille, saw roxana cry and experienced the feeling of having some semblance of emotion directed at him for the first time in his life and rlly said "anyone else gonna have a toxic codependent trauma bond with that? no? just me then--fuck off, jeremy--"

#the way to protect the female lead's older brother #twtptflob #dion agriche #he's so awful and miserable it's funny #one of my fav characters from this oi. like. ever.

I’m typically not a fan of the whole tik tok/YouTube couples thing but like,,,,,,,can you imagine doing that ‘drinking while I do my makeup’ challenge but asking Bakugou to join you???? I think it’d be so cute bc he’s a lot drunker than you expected for his size while you have a nice buzz going. you answer a few commonly asked questions in the meanwhile, cleaning up your brows while Bakugou just watches you with a little -_- look the entire time. his cheeks are all rosy and he’s sooo close to your face, slurs some kinda personal answer that makes you laugh and delete the footage bc the fans do not need to know that shit

and as drunk as he is, he eats your liner the fuck up. suddenly has the steadiest hand ever, his tongue poked out a little in the corner of his mouth, his palm resting on your cheek, the other basically holding your entire face to make sure you’re steady. also lines your lips with liner, paints your gloss/stick on with such heavy precision that all goes down the drain when he immediately leans forward to kiss it all off. a very clingy and affectionate drunk, and vows to throttle you when he’s sober enough to watch the video back later on bc of how you captured his lovesick gaze perfectly that everyone starts to talk about after.

#I am so in love with him I’m gonna puke #also my fav hc is that he’s a lightweight #also why when I drink I only get hot but no buzz #BOOOOOOOOO where’s the hype LOL #I’m kidding……(?)…… #anyway this challenge is so funny to me #bc the makeup either turns out fuckin amazing or awful and I love it either way #also wanna do my makeup tomorrow while being wine drunk #but I might be lazy again :/ #anyway gn im so tired bc of how much good food I ate today lol #—new treat in the streets! 🍫 #bakugou treats! 🍬
