svanhildr my beloved returns

#my art #oc #svanhildr #anthro #furry #goat #illustration #oc tober #(this is day 3......i'm doing it at my own pace. lol) #I gave her some funky white eyeliner as a quick experiment and loved it so now she's got white eyeliner i guess #congrats svanhildr you've been REDESIGNED. in the smallest way possible. and also with more horn texture (that i didn't reference) #i need to reference things more i am stagnating so hard at the moment. whatever #last night me and the girlies made the age-old mistake of putting on mud face masks together and taking a cute polaroid for memories #anyway needless to say the polaroid came out darker expected and now we have a photo of us that could be very badly misinterpreted #and has very very VERY unfortunate connotations that we did not foresee in our shortsighted naivety and did NOT intend #live and learn and never let the photo escape into the outside world I guess!

This is the piece I contributed to 華胥之國, a private DragonFox anthology I was invited to. You can see the other participant works by browsing this hashtag on Twitter or visiting the project account here!

#魔道祖師 #忘羨 #mdzs #wangxian #my art #my art 2023 #dragonfox au #anthology contributions #華胥之國 #i drew this back in january of this year #so the art is quite old now #and i would definitely do some things differently if i were to draw it now #but i learned a lot from painting this piece #so it's all good i guess haha #just trying to improve a bit at a time per piece

I was checking some emotional responses for Laios and was curious if he ever cries at all or if he’s full cold sweat/upset expression guy… I don’t believe he ever full cries but he does very slightly tear up both times Falin is revived :’)

#ref #a lot of times when he’s really going through it he gets very grim and quite rather than outwardly expressive #which - and this is total conjecture - but I feel like in part that might be a thing he learned from his time w the military #idk why exactly I feel that way I guess it’s just how much his expression in the ‘yeah I got beat up by my classmates back then’ panel #reminds me of some of his expressions during the fight w Shuro #which feels like one of the top times I would expect him to push over into crying out of anger/frustration/hurt #anyway. I love Laois :’) my guy….

So here I am, minding my business on the clock app when this comes across my FYP.

People like me cannot have this information. The temptation is simply too great.

#alt with eyes hidden under the cut #cofagrigus #their eyes are shiny. made of plastic. so they're looking a little bright. apologies for this #so. generally when i have quarrels about the pronunciation of a pokémon's name (since i don't watch anipoké) #where someone else and i pronounce the same pokémon's name differently. which doesn't happen very often‚ since typically i talk about #pokémon mostly entirely in text. because most of the communication about things i like happens in text. and the pokémon games #are not voice acted. so pronunciation of their names is sparse and sometimes limited to anipoké but even they're inconsistent i think #but whenever i have quarrels about the pronunciation of a name. someone else and i pronounce it differently. i go to pokédex 3d pro #on the 3ds. because every time you go to a pokémon's dex entry‚ the pokédex guy says their name out loud #i basically treat this as gospel for how to pronounce pokémon names. i've been proven wrong a lot but i've also been proven right a lot #and this guy. oooohhh this guy. before pokédex 3d pro i pronounced this guy's name as though the F-slur was right in the middle #only recently did i learn that it kinda sounds like “grievous‚” [kʰɐ.fə.'gɻiː.gəs] #at least. that's how the pokédex 3d pro guy says it #whereas i had been pronouncing it [kʰow.'fæg.ɻɪ.gəs]. so. you can see the issue that arises with that pronunciation #a lot of these pronunciations that i have to double-check just live in my head. and it's only when i say them out loud that i realize #how i'm saying them. like how i pronounce “centiskorch” as [sɑ̃.t͡si̠.skoʁʃ] for some fucking reason. my brain sees it and is like #yeah that's? a french word? even though it looks nothing like one #i also tend to pronounce “grumpig” as ['gʀʊm.pɪç] because of the “ig” at the end. i guess. german instinct #of course these are pronunciations i never say out loud but the first time i Have to say this pokémon's name out loud i'll go #oh yeah! it's not pronounced like that. i should probably not say that #and then i do not. just a fun little story about my twisted and fucked up mind. a little peek into my enigmatic brainspace #jesus christ these are some of the longest tags i've ever written. i'm gonna stop

look I'm sorry but if you didn't notice that your boyfriend was complete crap before you went to the barbie movie and THAT very basic conversation about feminism was what did your relationship with him in, maybe you need to take some time to evaluate why you missed all the warning signs before hand. why did you stay with someone who straight up couldn't handle a barebones "women have it bad" message? what attracted you to a man who most likely was already spouting very misogynistic bullshit who obviously has a bad relationship with their masculinity that the ken's were offensive?

peace and love but like I think those girls who "had their relationships ruined by the barbie movie" need to take some time to be single

#im assuming these women are all younger #cause i mean i dated some fuckin ASSHOLES #because i just assumed it was normal (lies) to be with a guy who is a bit of a misogynist #because i was young and didnt know any better and didnt value myself and also didnt really know where my gender was yet #but i grew up and got better #but like i guess im just saying this as a #please learn to listen to the things your partners say #because they arent just suddenly spouting shit that is making you break up with them #it just maybe was the time you could now point to #concretely yknow

wizard looking for a way home (aka wizard of dark space)

#pokemon #swsh #champion leon #wizard leon babeyy! #thank u to cosme for hangin out with me while I figure this one out lol #this! is the piece I used for the ''speedpaint'' thingy btw. I'll try to put together the video over the next month or so #lol. usually when I make wizard leon designs I riff with what comes up and think abt like. maybe his affinity in this set #like ''oh he'd do fabric talismans. oh he'd levitate. he does poppet stuff'' #that at most. but this. the moment I started fleshing this one out I was like #oh he's really lost. for a very long time. to the point he's learned so much he's forgotten what many of the things on his suit does #like lmao I guess I can Not be normal about any astronaut leon huh!! its chronic for me #I couldnt get to some of the questions folks asked with this one. so this video will probably not be comprehensive #but I'll make another when those things come up!! #fksjdfk sorry lads most of u guys asked abt colors but idk if this ones the best for that. its got a preddy concrete palette #guess I can save talking about the more insane color stuff for when that comes up too... #we'll see!! hope it's gonna happen #for now. one more wizard leon for the book. have a good night lads! #tie a yarn round ur wrist dont forget the way back

Fawcette citizens would thrive in Gotham but but gothamites would go insane in Fawcette

Does this make sense?

#Fawcett citizens would love the fact it’s always dark and cloudy bc their hero literally appears after thunderstorms #plus depending on the Gotham their old timey clothes would blend right in with Gotham plus the human eating gator men in the city mean #they don’t even blink over killer croc #depending on the Fawcett herkimer might already be reformed so they might treat killer croc like just another guy #gothamites would hiss at the sunlight and Gotham crooks are in no way prepared for Captain Marvel treating them like chew toys #Billy PLAYS with his food and some iterations have no issue straight up killing criminals #the funniest thing to me is Black Adam dying right in front of Billy and hes just like ‘ooh bummer well I guess I learned a valuable lesson’ #billy batson #Batman #captain marval #Shazam

Ok I'm seeing some Dung Eater discussion on the TL and it made me realize something kind of funny about him.

He absolutely could murder you the entire time he is there. He even says so himself. Yet he does not, because he doesn't wish to disturb the serenity of the Roundtable Hold. He is respectable enough to not kill and defile every single person in the hold despite being more than capable of doing so. And no, he is not just doing so because he literally can't...

We know this because another madman residing in the Roundtable can and WILL kill you despite being in its walls. Alberich has absolutely zero qualms with breaking the hold's rules, and it's very funny considering he is polite enough to do a reverential bow every time you come down where he dwells.

Dung Eater might be absolutely deranged but you can't say he doesn't have proper etiquette lmao.

#elden ring #dung eater #the loathsome dung eater #mad tongue alberich #roundtable hold #it's just so funny to me for some reason #scary lad but at least he won't mess with the vibe #ensha could learn a thing or two from him #I mean I guess he ambushed in a facsimile of the Roundtable and not the hold itself... #val-post

if a human asks a gnome when gnomes reach adulthood, they'll probably pin it somewhere between 20 and 40, depending on how they're interpreting the question; if an elf asks, they'll say "oh, we don't"

#speaking of 'getting mad because people don't meaningfully engage with fantasy lifespans' #EVERYONE overlooks the cultural nuance in dnd that elves are /physically/ mature not much later than humans #but are not considered an adult until some self-declared point of maturity usually around the age of 100 #that is. DIFFERENT. than 'a 50 year old elf is basically a literal child' no it ISN'T! it's a CULTURAL RECOGNITION #elves don't think it's possible for humans to mature into a really meaningful adulthood because they literally don't live long enough #'poor things have to settle down and work and marry and have children and die before they can even figure themselves out :/' #gnomes don't subscribe to this because of course they don't it's a cultural viewpoint but also they largely think it's stupid #oh yeah? you're all done growing up after 100 years? nothing left to learn about yourself as a person? #you Become An Adult when you're Wise And Mature which is a single static thing that happens in the first 1/6th of your life? #wow amazing it must be cool to be so enlightened 🙄 #...

It's really odd to realize that the passivity I hold toward my own self-destruction isn't, as I thought it to be, ingrained into my soul and fate itself, but it's a product of outside forces which themselves were passive toward my destruction. It's odd, because I accepted that my self-destruction was an inevitable consequence of me being alive, being myself, and I never once questioned that because it was reinforced by outside forces. I accepted this "fact," and then engaged in self-destruction even after I was freed from the abusive situations I was in, and it feels almost... sacrilegious to rebel against the "truth."

The passivity you hold toward your own self-destruction is not, in fact, ingrained, staining your very soul. It is not fated that you are to "deserve" harsh, unfair, and cruel treatment, and it is not a natural consequence of you being you. You deserve so much.

#mental health #mental health support #self harm tw #sh tw #abuse #abuse tw #(just in case) #anyway. something that suddenly hit me for a very weird reason... #...isn't that how most mind boggling ideas pop into your head though? #i am upset that that was taught to me but that doesn't make it true #how often do i learn that the things i was taught in school were false or fabricated in some way? pretty often actually! #does it not stand to reason that some of the most ingrained things i was taught from those who mistreated me were also wrong? #i guess i make this post to invite others to consider if it also resonates with them

Happy New Year, @spear-gsun , I was your @touhousecretsanta for this year- I have one fresh miss Mizuchi for you!

Apologies for how late it is! (Thank you for waiting warmly ^^;) I hope the new year treats you well!

#FIRST THINGS FIRST I'm very sorry for the long long warm wait ;; #there's actually a second side to this with reimu → (cool epic showdown style) but it has been a LONG time since I've drawn anything #i way underestimated how slow i work AND i sort of had to re-learn my own art style which was awkward :// #BUT I'd like to come back to this possibly maybe #(which is also why I'm posting it on this blog instead dbvdgssg) #i had a hard time thinking about HOW to draw her (newhu peoblems) but i think in the end i went for Pretty Similar to Reimu- #but with some added whispiness to her hair (kind of like how Harukawa drew Shion) bc .. spirit i guess XD #ANYWAY for now I wish you a happy and healthy new year! #to the mods and everyone who participated thank you for this year as always! #touhou #Miyadeguchi Mizuchi #uhh this is the first time I've ever posted an image from mobile so if it ends up severely broken I'm sorry LMAO

Omg, Dante Basco ships Zutara! My life is complete.

#EDIT: taking this from the zutara tag and locking bc some of y'all are NOT it. #this was never supposed to be a 'gotcha! see i told you your ships suck and mine rule! i have the VOICE ACTOR on my side!' post #i like most of the ships in this show. i'm just happy to learn at least one of the voice actors even ships something #like the amount of ppl who reblogged this to shit on other ships when i also ship those things.. i'm right here.. #have some common courtesy please i beg. because why are we acting like if you ship or post about zutara you have no other atla ships #and that you hate all those other ships #icb i just walked into all of that #ALSO apparently azula is totally irredeemable i guess? i didn't get that impression at ALL #she's a groomed child with clear mental health problems and idk if i can get behind her being irredeemable #doesn't have to be forgiveness but cmon. why are people so pressed about her coming to terms w her actions and finding adequate peace #can we just enjoy the show and not rip each other apart #anyways here are the og tags: #i'm watching the lwatla series with him #every time there's a kataang moment he says 'kataang!' too in a knowing way lol he knows all the ships before he's even seen the show #it's so funny #aang #katara #atla #atla aang #atla katara #avatar the last airbender #dante basco #shipping

A fic!

Summary: It's Stone Monkey's first night with his new troop. Except the troop doesn't see how this is their problem. Alternatively: The Six-Eared Macaque teaches the Little Stone Monkey how to build a nest. Some things are more than instinct; some things require a little care.

#monkey king 2009 #I work out some frustrations at the monkey troop in the show with some pointed incognito hurt/comfort #I don't write that often but sometimes the urge strikes. it's been ages. #anyway so I learned monkeys have to be taught how to build nests and that was my Sunday gone #did you know orangutans will make and add like - blankets and pillows and things to their nests? #bunk bed nests are a real thing! #it's pretty cool #next installment: six ears introduces stone monkey to the concept of macaque love taps #ie: smack the SHIT out of all your acquaintances to get those juicy juicy bugs out of them #and also appropriate tick removal techniques #you know: the necessities of life #stone monkey introduces HIMSELF to the concept of 'I guess I don't know my own strength' #rip six ears
