So far my merfolk haven't been particularly "cursed", but I really want to get to that territory somehow! And I have an idea how...

Most seahorse mermaids have the human-fish split be around the main torso of the seahorse (the seahorso if you will), akin to a centaur: they replace the head and neck with the upper human torso!

However, the way I draw my merfolk, the human-fish split happens at the neck of the fish, as merfolk need the fish gills to breathe. You already know Ahti, here's two examples besides him:

Fish head is replaced with the human torso!

If I want to follow this same formula with all fish mermaids, that would make seahorse merms look like this:

#oh i want to do this so bad #i think i am going to lmao #merfolk #hmm. should i tag this as my art? maybe later

I saw a post about someones plans for after the revolution, and I’m begging leftist to get serious for 5 minutes.  Y’all talk about and predict a revolution with the same reliability and trustworthiness as evangelicals talk about armageddon. US Leftist can’t keep their shit together enough to wear masks and to help poor people get masks because they are expensive.  But sure a revolution is going to happen any day now. In the US many disabled people like myself are now homebound because we can’t safely go outside.  Abled leftist admittedly refuse to do anything to change that.  They are to busy posting quotes from long dead white men, about ideas those dead white men stole from indigenous peoples. If US leftist can’t cope with something like covid, how the fuck do you expect to pull off a revolution?

#cripple punk #cripplepunk #us politics #us leftism #anarchist #socialism #ableism #disability rights #I'm centering the US because our health care system makes the response to covid different then countries were people just go to the doctor #when they are sick and have workers rights so they can stay home #Not claiming it is a utopia in those places for disabled people but they can speak for themselves #yeah my icon is kind of funny in context . . .hmm maybe should change it

actually finished this a while ago but i havent gotten around to sharing it .. but this is shri'iia's act 1 costume hihi... scuffed fancy drow armor that's based around the ingame set except it's more heavy armor than light/medium. the pose looks so awkward rn but im planning to do a set with her costume progression so it'll make sense later <3

#bg3 tav #drow tav #oc: shri'iia. #mine. #just sharing this now bc i havent been posting lately.... just been saur busy 😔 #and the bg3 brain rot doesnt help lol #but i have some stuff in the works!! esp this jb thing im pretty excited abt ... but its pretty big (in my standards anyway) so its #going to take a while but hopefully i can share it soon......... bc i do like it lol #but anyway for this armor i actually like it??? its giving in game and im into it #my only issue is that it looks /too/ ornate for like act one.. but tbf this was her fit when she got kidnapped so it does make sense?? #and its giving paladin which was the point.. but im like hmm maybe its too finely detailed maybe thats why im nitpicking it #i still think her cloth piece in the middle should have some pattern but idk what to add lol

Crime and Punishment in Mo Dao Zu Shi

So I've finally finished the essay I've been threatening to write for more than a year. A hearty thank you to @paradife-loft for early editing eyes and a coherence check, and @neuxue for further editing as well as last minute bonus translation.

First of all, a big ol’ disclaimer: I am working from a translated text where I do not have access to the original language. That generates a gap where potentially a great deal can be lost or altered in translation; hence, I’m going to avoid as much as possible attempting to do a close reading or lean too hard on language or word choice in my assessment of the novel, speaking in broader strokes. 

Additionally, I am coming at this from a perspective where I am predisposed to feel sympathy for villains/antagonists in a story, and I recognize that potentially creates a bias in my assessment. That being said, I think it’s a fair reading at the very least, if not an authoritative one. This essay will include spoilers for the entirety of the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (MDZS) novel, as well as The Untamed (CQL), and minor spoilers in footnotes and a brief additional section for MXTX's other novels.

I will be touching on CQL in an appendix at the end, though to a lesser degree because analyzing visual media is less of my strong point. Nonetheless I think it is relevant that, despite the alteration of story details to arguably make the morality of the story more black/white, certain thematic resonances remain. 

All that being said, my point here is: MXTX (Mo Xiang Tong Xiu) as an author, and MDZS in particular, is at best skeptical of punitive justice; to put it more bluntly, the concept of characters “getting what they deserve” is, if not directly repudiated, then certainly not the point. To put it even more bluntly, MDZS doesn’t want to punish its villains, it just kills them, which (importantly) isn’t the same thing.

wtf is wrong with ppl trying to manifest a petrigtof breakup. im genuinely mystified. i want them to be toxic together until the end of time some real sunk cost fallacy shit. theyve been devoted to each other for literally thousands of years, YES to a fault, but shes an entire god of chaos now there is like nothing else for her to lose. shes all powerful and her only goal is to protect simon WHY, from a storytelling perspective, would she break up with him now? why would simon break up with her? theyre both at rock bottom there is nowhere to go but up. they could even rebuild together! if you want them to be healthy so fucking bad they could confront their past and try again. TOGETHER. but its not cathartic or a good ending at all for them to just cut it off or stay friends after centuries of literal madness. stop putting these characters through therapy or making them well adjusted just shut up shut up AAGH .

#all these posts abt this are genuinely making me so anxious like what if it does happen and its awful #just go ahead and ruin everything their arcs have been building towards for years. negate the tragedy. character assassination. fuck you #we know that in an au where betty hadnt met simon she wouldve been happier. this doesnt mean that in our universe after everything #that they would be happier APART #theyre like the only thing each other has now! #also theres just no way betty has been sitting up in space doing self reflection like hmm #'i sacrificed a lot for simon maybe I should uhh negate this last biggest sacrifice and divorce him lol' #what im saying is . petrigrof breakup would not make them any healthier. you just hate seeing toxic lesbians winning #schizobabble #adventure time #fionna and cake #petrigrof #betty grof #i hope one million ppl block me

Fly Away really are that duo where one of them is like "I want to support you and make you shine brighter than the stars and psychoanalyse you until I understand you more than you understand yourself. I want to push you to break your limits and believe in you more than anyone else because I absolutely do believe in you more than anyone else. I may not have had any friends before, but I know that I simply admire and love you and that's enough for me" and the other is like "You are the first person to have seen me for more than my weaknesses, and I am so eternally grateful for that. Your words provide me with the freedom to understand I'm not in this alone, and it makes me see that I want you by my side, supporting me, while I stay by yours supporting you. Because you're my friend, right?" And then you'll say one (1) minor problem and have them bicker like the bratty teens they are.

#iori is so obsessed with riku and riku just loves and appreciates iori so much and i love that actually #i dont actually think riku is as unhinged about iori as iori is with riku..... #....but i do remember that riku heard iori's 'let me control u nanase-san' and went 'hmm....sure. just stay by my side always' #and maybe he is #abandonment issues meets social awkardness and the results are staggering #fandom spamdom #idolish7 #note's notes #anyway if mezzo is two people meeting in the middle.... #....then fly away is two people flying in parallel with each other while pushing the other to go further and further #or something #i dont know enough music theory to think of a musical analogy involving double sharps and double flats #they sure are accidentals yes....and also like...on the extreme end of switching up a note.... #....but yeah #i will admit im not as deranged about fly away as i should be so i may have gotten this wrong
