#i guess the body does change

[setsailtomorrow]

who knew that a side effect of doing yoga every day would mean firmer eh everything

#genuinely noticed that today #around my tummy #i do this because it feels good #what bs sry #but it's true #just following adriene #she's made me comfortable with my body #i don't want to know anything about her #except that she's a great yoga teacher #with nice takes on ways to move #anyway #i started because i sit so much at work #and suddenly #huh #i guess the body does change

Happy to report I have finally started listening to Malevolent and to no one's surprise I am already obsessed (I'm almost done with s2 atm please don't send me spoilers yet sdlkfj)

I'll skip over my usual formality of having one normal art post before diving into shitposts let's not waste anyone's time here

#to no one's surprise the body-sharing eldrich horror buddy comedy is right up my alley #this one's been on my 'to listen' list for a long while but the stars finally aligned to make it happen #okay time to figure out how to tag this uhhh #malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe #i will probably change how i draw arthur a Lot as this goes on lol but enjoy these early drafts #unlike him I had a good idea how I wanted to draw john from the get-go #though the scrawling chaotic scribbles are actually a bit tedious to do in cleaner art #the pencil comic at the end is about the easiest way to do it he's just a bit more formless there #which is only really confusing when I also want to draw the hand like in the first shitpost #if i draw anything for s2 i'll update him a wee bit though probably pretty easy to guess what #i'll be playin with it i'm sure #idfk what tags people use for these i'm not allowed to search the tag till i'm caught up #so for now these'll work! #shorthand i'll probs just use #mp #pretty sure i haven't used that before #probably #my art #doodles #comic

so funny to me that jenny doesn’t regenerate or anything, she just comes right back to life as the same person. girl how’d you do that.

#no but how’d she do that. why doesn’t jenny have to follow time lord rules. #why’s she function on jack harkness logic. how does she work. fascinated by her. #does this imply that the regeneration ability as we see it isn’t actually like. inherent to the doctor. at least not the way they regenerate #now. because jenny is specifically cloned from the doctor. not another time lord. them specifically. #which. so why doesn’t she get regeneration with that. why does she just get to come back to life. #idk where im going with this. something about this implies to me that regenerstion as it is. is not. how it naturally would be? #that the changing of faces is something that came later. that was added. to a more simple process of dead -> alive again. #possibly as a protective measure? because there’s only so much life one body. one mind. can take before it begins to break under the strain #of it all. in a way regenerations function as compartmentalization of all that time and trauma. but if you didn’t have that you’d have to #hold it all in you at once forever. so it would make sense for regenerations to be engineered specifically in response to that problem. #and so the doctor regenerates. but jenny. cloned. got the original code for regeneration somehow. the one that doesn’t involve a change of #face. so she just comes back to life. idk. just tossing ideas out there i guess. i like jenny :)

Every day I sit here or lie in bed thinking about how much purity culture destroyed me.

#and then my parents have the audacity??? #to try and tell me that 'sex was created by God tho!!!' #yes and God was used to ruin my perception of sex #I can only read about it or draw it to explore my interests #I have absolutely zero interest in it being done to me physically #which is both purity culture and personal perception of my body #which does not change no matter what I do to try and love myself #anyway this was brought on because I'm listening to ppl talk about Girl Defined #Horrible channel btw please don't watch any of their videos #What they preach is misinformation at best and culty at worst #and this particular video is talking about how a GUY #WHO BECAME A SEX THERAPIST???? #thought his wife was broken cuz she hated being intimate w/ him #and he would be like 'oh well srry ur broken we're gonna fuck anyway tho cuz //I// need it' #?????????????????????????????????????????? #AND THEN I GUESS THEY DISCOVERED IT WASN'T HER #I'M NOT THROUGH IT YET THIS IS A BAD RIDE #BUT I CANNOT SEEM TO GET OFF #anyway back to drawing #fyi I don't have a problem w/ God I have a problem w/ Christians #There is a difference and you will respect that thank u

I need someone who's better at drawing to design my vtuber I keep trying to redesign my sona but evidently being a fat hick negates every good practice in every how to design video ever

#good silhouette who im fat the silhouette is mostly just round body and shoulders and curly hair #🤷‍♂️ #i changed my ears which does something i guess

[sparky-is-spiders]

Finally drawing up a ref for Amaldyne and I need your help. Which eye is better? Vote based on which you think looks better/cooler/which gives off the most empty, starving husk vibes. (Yeah she's doing normal).

#poll #tw body horror #I... I guess? #Figured better safe than sorry #(if you can't tell: her lower jaw is separated into two different pieces. It does that sometimes #figured that body horror might apply there?) #also yes I know some of the edges are sloppy #it's a wip I'll fix it later #amaldyne #amaldyne rotwing #the lizard crew #I think I might need to change her horn color too... #dragon #body horror tw #sparkarts

In case it was ever a question

#💟 #Doodles #Lol #Yes I do in fact still think about Vargas every single day #I'd tell you when that changes but that would still be a Vargas thought wouldn't it lol ♪ So for now situation normal! Nothing to report! #Haha ♫ #It's not always to this level or even this consistent but it does average multiple times a day and especially around sleep #The dreams have mostly completely tapered off but they're a common comfort/come-down from the day :) Reliable thought pattern #And even tho I'm not posting them for the most part outside of sketchdumps/the occasional video/fanfic/etc. etc. #I can tell you they still grab every sixth or so scratch page lol - and that's not counting their hefty backlog! #Plus I don't always doodle my ideas a lot of them go into my notes #Honestly considering a part two of an incorrect quotes post quite a few have built up and even I've forgotten some of them haha #They're silly ♪ #Oh yeah and you'll notice a near-matching uptick in WOY (Wander Over Yonder) :3c Haha wonder what that's about hahaha #And SCII to a similar degree but I don't have anything cheeky to say about that (right now) lol #Also completely off Vargas-topic I think it's really funny how often I forget my bracelet #Obviously didn't here! Got all 'em colours - which is honestly probably /why/ I forget that's a lot of tools for one small detail #But like - I never forget my glasses they are very much ''part of my body'' but I quite often forget my bracelet even tho I wear it way more #I take off my glasses to sleep and shower and the like but my bracelet follows me everywhere! How is it not part of my body just as much! #I guess I have been wearing glasses for longer overall but sequentially! Y'know! Haha

girl help i am once again confused by the tarkatan arm blades

#mk1 mileena has the arm blades sometimes so that means they come with tarkat right???? #so that means its a part of their body??? #in a baraka intro dialog in mk11 someone threatens to rip out his arm blades so that also means theyre attatched to the arms in mk11 too #and in barakas mk11 fatal blow he snaps the blade off inside his opponent but if it was just a weapon it would come off in one piece #but mk11s customization can make them metal????? so are they changeable or a part of the tarkatan body????? #erron blacks mkx tarkatan blade still has the jand attatched so obv its a part of their body but where does it go???? #the blades are way longer than the arm so where does it go when it retracts and also is it like attatchrd to the bone or the muscles???? #i assume its attatched to the bone like a cat claw but how is baraka able to change his blades from bone to metal in mk11??? #is it like an implant or perhaps a metal tooth????? #i think ive answered like all my questions but one with this ramble #WHERE THE FUCK DO THEY GO WHEN RETRACTED INTO THE ARM #do they fall out and regrow like shark teeth??? are they really big teeth?????? #i think og timeline mileena doesnt have the blades bc shes not full tarkatan so that makes sense i guess #im confused now goodnight #i need john tobias and ed boon to answer all my tarkatan physiology questions NOW

That scene where Megatron (in his pre-MTMTE bimboification body) is holding his own stealth bomber body in his arms does things to me, it’s so fucked up man.

#like yeah i guess it makes sense that with a full body transplant #tfs just like leave the shell behind #but i dont think anyone changes forms as radically as megatron does so like #most alt mode changes are probably just altering kibble and stuff but still keeping the type of vehicle or device itself #megatron HELD HIS OWN CORPSE IN HIS ARMS #you could make something fucked up out of that if you tried #squiggposting

\o/ received juice of un-fucks your body (hopefully ! ! ! ) ! ! ! !

#g o d i hope it works out #when i told them the changes i'd made and the fact that things had gotten only marginally better #but like emphasis on marginally #they were like 'woah what. that's super weird. let me talk to my pal real quick.' #and when they came back they were like 'yeah okay your body is ringing all kinds of random alarm bells so i'm going to trust my gut #and get you started on something' #so that's a relief . . . . . #worst case scenario we try another thing when i see them again in like three months #or i guess absolute worst case scenario is it exacerbates things and i have to see them sooner #in which case they wanted to do a biopsy to check something else #but most likely is it either improves to a degree or does nothing sjdfhglkj

can someone teleport me to the poolrooms and shoot me so my blood is staining the pristine tiles and water. Nothing should be alive there

#Jesus Christ I just realized that ur cells might temporarily live on after You The Person die. Like i guess it depends on what counts as #Alive but even when ur heart stops I'm guessing ur red blood cells might stay active???? Not to mention the bacteria in your gut #Me: wouldn't it be so cool if there was blood in the poolrooms bc they're so surreal and pristine and the blood would both break that #And yet be perfectly fitting moreso than any living being? Wouldn't that be cool? #(realizes that even after ur brain shuts off your cells probably won't die in perfect sync and some might survive even briefly after YOU di #And that's what causes some sort of existential anxiety attack) what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck #Seriously though sorry if I sound like an edge lord but i want to put blood in the poolrooms bc it sounds so beautiful. The red blue #Contrast and the staining of the tiles itches my brain just right. It's not something you could make a story about it's something you have #Take on it's own. Like you have to let it be an image whether written or drawn it can't be (primarily) a story. Like there's an implied #Story (who took a gun into the poolrooms) but you have to prioritize the spectacle rather than the series of events #Does this make sense? Writing about someone being teleported to and murdered in the poolrooms is fine but #The simple... It's not shock but the way a dead body with deep red blood either laying on the tile or floating in the pool #There's a story but the story pales in comparison to the single snapshot of the moment. I should've been a fish #Like a pufferfish with a beak so I could eat clams I saw a pufferfish eat clams in person one time and it was fuckin incredible literally #Life-changing. It's just like ok. Yeah ok thats right that's how it's supposed to be. I understand now

Thor and Loki often have similarly styled pants but no one seems to go 👀👀👀😳 over Thor's and I for one find that very funny

#like idk maybe it's just me and the besties but Loki's outfits always go so hard like d*mn there's some good design there #and then Thor walks in in the next movie with the same design with extra leather straps and it's like well ok I guess it works :/ #there's just always something up with the pants fr #Thor1 Thor and Loki's ceremonial pants look to be of the same thin material but Loki's crotch was CGI'd out half the time for vague reasons #Thor literally does a whole getting dressed scene where he's doing up his Earth jeans and I'm like huh ok thot #while Loki flashed the jotunheim scene outfit for maybe 3 minutes of screentime and it lives in everyone's heads rent free #like Thor in Avengers 1 was trying so hard with his upper body with the chain sleeves and going sleeveless etc. #and Loki's there in full armour - you can't even SEE most of the details on his stuff half the time #but everyone's constantly joking about the crotch flap bc they put him in a long tunic for the whole film #and I have SEEN people going >.> to zoom in on the pants especially bc there's metal and seams and stuff to look at #to be fair on that one though Thor's pants look like something cap would wear on tour so that one is understandable #Thor's TDW outfit though!!!!! Like SURELY that one is a banger -- we've even got Thor in casualwear with the wrap around and all #but nooooooo it's all about Loki in prison and then in the slightly changed armour with no helmet #THOR TRIED SO HARD IN THAT MOVIE #he LITERALLY has a metal design on the lateral side of his leather pants and everything ! the armour that movie looks GOOD #but no one cares because Jane's got an Asgardian fit and Loki is right there :( #he's got ALL the good outfits in AoU but everyone is like ohhhh look at his hair look at his coat -- WHAT ABOUT HIS PANTS AND BOOTS #everyone appreciating Loki's entire fits while Thor only gets attention when he's Extra Special like #can u recall Thor's ragnarok gladiator outfit from memory? be honest 👉👈 #it has a whole bunch of straps along his arms and yet #everyone focused on Thor's face and upper body armour in Endgame too like #this is incredibly funny #what is going on #is it because he wears lots of nondescript pants? possibly #i'm going to keep pretending it's because no one likes his pant choices

[justforsutff]

#tw: fatphobia #just in case #idk i got recommended a video titled something something glow up #and the character gets bullied bc theyre fat and then someone is nice to them and suddenly they don't wanna be fat anymore. #I don't mind the idea of self improvement especially thru the body but literally any time a character makes a *Drastic good change* of #themselves it's that wow now they're a generic skinny anime boy and is hot by conventional standards now! #Does that make sense? #Like I don't mind it I guess every once in a while but it's the fact that it's ALWAYS the case #I'm fat myself so its just :| #So i'll watch them turn into the most generic design as a glow up supposedly when I actually thought they looked way cute before LMAO #also the video the character stopped wearing glasses #like I get maybe the character could've switched to contacts but seriously? #glasses make him look to interesting we have to get rid of them #everyone in the comments of the video were also like This is so inspiring like #what is???

So how do markings from Embleos supposed to work? The shapes they take on as soon as it’s embedded into the skin (or in Celia’s case whatever happened to it to go into her right eye) are too specific to be called random, so they’re probably formed as a sort of “this is what you represent on a symbolic level” or “this is where the strength of your abilities comes from” or even “this is the shape you personally chose to have”.

Those first two statements seem more likely as pretty much everyone’s tats have recognizable shapes a’la Yelsy’s is a flower on her chest, Celia’s is a crosshair, Lisette’s appears to be a wasp of some sort (?) on her thigh, Hugo’s is a wing on his back, etc. But then you have something like Leo’s, which doesn’t bring to mind any specific shape other than it runs up his right arm in an X pattern (although my other thought was that it reminds me of blood), Michelle’s is...I don’t know what it is except it’s two crescents that almost form a question mark (or moons?) and a teeny-tiny cross on the lower crescent (and it’s anyone guess what that’s supposed to mean for her if we go by the first statement, but for it to be right by her carotid pulse a’la her neck possibly indicates it represents life/death if we go by the second statement), and who knows what Lucien’s is supposed to be because AFAIK we never see it but it’s on his chest and he’s clearly not compatible with it.

OTOH there’s also the possibility that the Primordials might have something to do with Embleos - and Reactors, because the Empire has to be getting all that mana somewhere to be manufacturing them, but this post isn’t about them - or deciding who gets their boon(s) (therefore throwing all but the first statement out the window by bringing in a fourth statement “this is what you represent on a symbolic level because we believe this is what you are deep down/your truest self”) because, while I don’t know about the rest of Blaze (beyond Yelsy being the only person to permanently see Toto), Celia choosing/having the Embleo in her eye and Origin a’la King of the Beasts a’la GOD having God’s Eye AKA the gift of clairvoyance, can’t just be a coincidence and should be setting off alarm bells because there is no way in hell the Federation’s upper echelons aren’t going to hear about some random sixteen-year-old girl that placed second to dead last in the elite knight academy while having the foresight of the leader of the Primordial Beasts that’s sleeping (dead?) in stone and not overlook her.

#tales of luminaria #like something's going on in the federation for them to allow leo and hugo to join blaze despite failing the exams #and for an outside party to look at celia & go 'this girl doesn't have any powers' despite her having an embleo #and considers her a candidate - for what it's anyone's guess #i was thinking 'well maybe he's looking for someone to replace vicar kanon' #except the vicar is a young woman so it can't be age-related & she doesn't seem to suffer from any sicknesses #so my only other guess is either she's a possible candidate for whoever the observer answers to or something else entirely #also it should be notd that not everyone who gets an embleo receives a tat #but i always found it odd in a cast of 21 celia's the only one among the jerle faction to not have a tat #like you'd think she'd have the marks form around her eye - except that doesn't happen #would it even be possible for marks to form on a body part away from the embleo? #unless the crosshair is supposed to be considered the mark in her eye #but that's green and not black like the other tats #so where does that leave the actual physical embleo? did it just straight up dissolve? #all the other embleos have skin & muscle to embed into but an eyeball's an organ #so unless that thing evaporated i better hope aedis has anesthesia & they put celia under before the embleo was put in place #that's another thing: i actually thought she lost that eye or was born w/ heterochromia #but then you see her as a little kid and that's not the case - she had two yellow eyes #no one else's embleos causes changes to their bodies besides performing mystic artes #and someone like michelle was already doing that before she got her embleo #so what turned celia's eye blue? #you mean to tell me leo & hugo didn't notice the difference & go 'hey celia check it out your eyes are different colors now'? #no one started asking any questions? b/c i don't see anybody else w/ complete heterochromia #i'm just going to see the 'despite not having any powers' comment is code for 'this girl's not showing any signs of being an aberration' #b/c the observer clearly has an embleo - the game's just being discreet about it #otherwise why else would he show such clinical interest in celia that they were inevitably going to meet up? #also this was supposed to be a gen post on embleos but my celia favoritism shoved its way through & i ain't hiding it lol
