Lmaoo they make it sound like I’m out here doxxing, harassing or threatening people when the extent of what I do is literally just ‘look at this bad take that is the product of gender ideology’

It’s the little things. That’s what I’ll treasure the most.
This one goes out to all my fellow ‘responsible’ captains. We tried our best boys. The EMOTION I felt when we got our funky little coffee cup and little pep talks from the crew,,,, hell yeah dude. Cheers to our new planet. 
Brushes: 
- For all painting/sketching/writing I used the Jingsketch sketch round (it’s free! <3 like iswm)
- The black backgrounds were a default watercolor brush!
april 4th 2023 edit: one year later and… oh god. revisiting this is both painful and weirdly validating as an artist—on one hand it is objectively so much worse than the new one. on the other, it’s weirdly motivating as evidence of my progress.)

I'm kinda weirded out that Bi-Han scars his brother and people act like him being a little mean to Tomas is his worst deed and he deserves to die for it or something. Bi-Han doesn't owe Tomas any love or respect. You don't have to like someone just because daddy said so.
I totally agree that hating Bi-Han for not liking or loving Tomas as a brother is pretty wild take on his character, because he did not ask for such a bond, the same as Tomas did not ask to be orphaned and adopted into Grandmaster’s family. Both were forced into a situation created by adults that apparently couldn’t act appropriately to the situation (e.g. killing Tomas’ mother and sister when the family accidentally trespassed on Lin Kuei territory and Grandmaster adopting Tomas out of shame / to save his honor rather than out of love/care for the boy). 
What is even weirder to me, Kitana and Mileena had in previous timeline(s) bitter relationship yet I don’t see fandom to hate original/alternative MK9!Kitana for rejecting Mileena ("You are not my family... you are a monstrosity!") and looking down on her because of Tarkatan blood (“[Shang Tsung] has created horrid replicas of me crossbred with Tarkatan blood!”). People apparently can acknowledge that Kitana was thrown into “sisterhood” she did not ask and the creation of “twin sister” happened out of her control and knowledge while also understanding it was no Mileena’s fault for acting and looking the way she was because it was how she was specifically created. If fandom can accept and support Kitana’s choice of rejecting “sister” on the spot without any empathy to look at the situation from her perspective AND AT THE SAME TIME can feel sorry for Mileena, then the similar treatment should be given to Bi-Han and Tomas, as they were presumably children who adapted to the unfamiliar situation in their own ways. However the main difference between those two scenarios is that Mileena is the “psycho” (so Kitana is excused for not wanting her as a sister) while MK1!Smoke is the personality-wise castrated version of MK9!Tomas who for whatever reason is now the fandom’s Cinnamon Roll that never did anything wrong and anyone who doesn’t melt at the sight of this cutie IS BIG MEANIE, boo!
A character not loving fans’ favorite does not commit a crime however fandom wants to present it as unquestionable proof of said character’s evilness. Fictional or real life, people are allowed to not like each other as the definition of family will vary from culture to culture, and from one person to another - it does not however allow anyone to abuse other people, but that should go without saying.
Bi-Han said mean things to Tomas, and Kuai Liang for that matter. He in general treated others in a similar, cold fashion. But objectively speaking he did much more questionable things over the course of the story, yet people are fixated on Smoke’s feelings alone - and to be honest, I'm not even surprised anymore by that.
But you know what frustrates me the most about fandom’s perception of Bi-Han and Tomas relationship? The amount of fanwork presenting Bi-Han as always mean, always abusive to the poor poor little Tomas which is not just the best proof the fandom is set to demonize kid Bi-Han for his adult self’s choices. It is the whole implication that Grandmaster and the Mother and like everyone involved in raising the brothers, all the masters and teachers did not act to prevent it from happening nor cared to correct Bi-Han’s action. And the most sick thing about that? Children imitate the behavior of adults. Do people really think that kid Bi-Han started saying "Lin Kuei blood only" bullshit out of his mind just to spit in the pitiful orphan's face? Like, really?
Stupid beliefs like that come from somewhere and children are taught by their parents and adult people around what “values” and traditions they should respect and follow. We literally know just three Lin Kuei characters and the fact that only Kuai Liang and Tomas rejected Sub-Zero’s leadership while the clan followed their Grandmaster implies Bi-Han’s beliefs are accepted and shared by the clan. So maybe instead of being so set on demonizing kid!Bi-Han - who so far was only said to be “always cold” to Tomas what is not equal to being abusive and cruel on purpose - maybe it is time for fandom to examine previous Grandmaster and the whole clan’s beliefs that A) were passed to Bi-Han to mold him into man he is today and B) apparently fucked up Tomas’ childhood so much.

the fully evil Lin Kuei extorting old ladies left me with a bad taste in my mouth, so have some silly Lin Kuei to help us cope!
Kuai: how long does it take before you start hallucinating from sleep deprivation?
Tomas: I think it's--
Bi-Han: 72 hours.
Kuai: How do you know--?
Bi-Han: There's a clown behind you and it's not Hanzo.
Hanzo, cracking knuckles: I would glad help you fall asleep if you like, sir!
Made with my Bitter-Brothers-in-Law AU in mind!

sorry about that last rambling post, i didnt mean to sound like its worse than it may be, but i got no ... lense to view it through but my own, and the main reason i wrote it out anyway was bc i needed to get it out (even if posting it might be not the greatest idea) .. and bc it kinda showcases, i think, how my stories kinda write themselves, involuntarily in a way? its not like im not putting in any effort- but its like .. i cant STOP it always keeps going and even the dumbest idea stays in some form, its very hard to get everything in place bc theres so much going on all the while i am very slow at making anything, writing or drawing anything, especially anythign coherent is very hard bc not only do i get constantly distracted, i get distracted by my own thoughts suddendly skipping to a certain scene and me having to go throguh imagining in detail NO MATTER how many times i have done it before for the same scene that i already decided on how it goes, when theres a new idea it can take over my entire day bc i cant let go of it-
not trying to sound either like im the only that has that sort of problem, but i think its a big part as of why i start tso many projects without being able to finish them, or even start them bc i constantly have to fight my own thoughts from derailing into another daydream session, thinking of too much too fast than i can ever draw or even write about and not knowing what is worthwhile and what isnt (im telling you i have no idea what is good and what isnt, idk why but for all i know all things i do could be trash, or they all could be bad, maybe the one i thinnk is decent is actually worse than the things i deem not good enough and once i start to think no this isnt good enough i stop having fun making or thinking it bc im trying to do better
honestly its kind of impressive that i can get anything out at all, not to pat myself on the back there but even if i hate how long it takes me, considering how much im having to work just to start working on something at all, the fact that i could post stuff coherent enough for some people to understand AND LIKE is something i should be a little more proud of

pretty sure i’ve seen romance movies with scenes like this
#tomgreg#where do i even start with t his horseshit okay here we fucking go.#so tom's first instinct is to go to greg when he's on shaky ground with shiv. the only way  he feels safe is to have GREG with him.#who tf would want greg as an attack dog??!?!? lets be fucking real. when he says that i think he means just a dog. just someone loyal.#who loves him and won't dick him around. i think he's pretty tired of it by now.#he wants an alliance with like. ok in this show who would you pick to ally with. i love greg but he's abso useless in terms of skills that#would keep you safe. if anything TOM would keep HIM safe. in fact tom  himself says who else has taken care of you. literally spells it out.#he even says greg is a joke; will fail; will fuck up; so what use does he have for tom other than companionship. other than love?#a dog might do tricks for you but your main reason for getting one is usually love. right? at least it should be. it would be in tom's case.#and don't even fucking get me STARTED on ''do you wanna come with me? ...sporus?" like girl.#you know what you told him about nero and sporus right. and now you're saying to him; yeah i was talking about you.#you and me. you're my favourite and i wasn't joking when i said i'd marry you.#the whole while tom is asking greg to be his attack dog his fuckin. eyes and expression we get it you're in love with  him. like it's ridic.#and all this coming with phrasing it sounds like they're fucking ELOPING. I HATE IT!!!!!! SHUT UP! stop saying that fucking shit god. god#they are so annoying. anyway#the way tom's voice breaks as he says he has things to do [what things. will i find out later.] and the deal and!!#what am i gonna do with a soul anyways... i have you what do i need it for. and as that paragraph said somewhere. he castrates his soul.#then they giggle and are fucking annoying and greg'S HANDS LOOK LIK EHE'S ABOUT TO IDK. HUG TOM? AROUND THE MIDDLE MAYBE#or do something else. and then they just hug instead and i fucking. ugh. i've had enough tbh good fucking bye

Art Style #3 Practice
I have three art styles that I'm working on. There's my main (the more anime-ish style), my second/cartoon one (as seen in my Enid fanart; the one with the round heads and big eyes/pupils), and my very-inspired-by-Strawberry-Shortcake one (as you will see). The third is my least developed, but I'm liking how it's coming out so far.
As always, no reposting, editing, tracing, claiming, or using my art (in general), or using my artworks for any program, NFT, or AI. Nor do I permit using the designs of any of my original designs or characters for any purpose other than fanart of them.
Tumblr media
I've started adding finishing dates on my artwork, since it's not like I can write it on the back.
This girl is supposed to be from the '90s (you know, jean overalls, high ponytail, all that), but I don't have a name for her yet. She's really just a design so I can practice. But in my head I've nicknamed her Ponyheart or just Pony for short. Because of the ponytails and the heart motifs, y'know? Maybe I'll come up with a name for her someday.
The strawberry background is a nod to my inspiration for this style, and also because I just like drawing strawberries. Clip Studio Paint was being a massive pain for me when I tried to use the align tool, so I just ending up doing the rows down by hand.
Shading was an...Attempt. Let me know if you have any polite tips! Sometimes I'm open to help/constructive criticism, but sometimes I'd rather just be able to doodle without worrying about getting it, "right." But in this case, I'd like some advice! Just be nice. :]

I'm just gonna drop this in here...how about a Naga!Desmond au...with whatever plot ideas you can think of.
One of the things I remember most about nagas for some reason is that they are the enemies of the Garuda so how about a fantasy AU where Desmond is a member of the naga race, perhaps he’s even the son of a Naga Raja but he left his den and likes to live alone in a lake or by the river.
One day, he’s just lazing around when something crashes into the waters from such a great height it drenched Desmond completely. Mostly out of curiosity, he swam deeper and fished out a Garuda with wounds all around the body and wings with a lot of feather missing.
Desmond knew that their races were enemies but these marks…
They weren’t the marks that a naga’s weapons would make. Desmond would know. All of their weapons had poison after all.
This meant…
This Garuda was attacked by something else.
So he nurses the Garuda, not knowing that this simple act of kindness will change Desmond’s life forever.
Okay, so I kept the Garuda’s identity vague because this could work with any of them. For any of your pick, the reason for the Garuda’s current state would be:
Altaïr: He was chased out of his nest that he had been the leader of. As far as he knows, his entire family has been killed and the last he saw his oldest son is him screaming as both of them went down. His story will involve Desmond joining him in looking for his oldest son and trying to help him grieve over the lost of his loved ones.
Ezio: His nest had been burned to the ground by creatures that worship a god they call the Father of Understanding because they wanted the treasure the Garuda that Ezio was part of was guarding. His story will involve Desmond helping him find any survivors from his nest and recovering the stolen treasure while creating a new nest of their own.
Ratonhnhaké:ton: It was exhaustion that caused him to fall and he’s very tight-lipped on where his wounds had come from. Desmond would follow him because he left while he’s still recovering and he’d learn that Ratonhnhaké:ton had gotten all those wounds after a huge battle that ended with him killing his own father and now, he’s trying to finish it and kill the one who took over his father’s place. The same cur who burned his nest when he had been young, indirectly killing his mother.
Haytham: This would be the inverse of Ratonhnhaké:ton’s story where he falls after he fails to kill his son and it’s kinda implied that he did it on purpose. Oh, he meant to die (which always made Desmond frown at him) and he’s sure everyone assumes he’s dead. For now, he’ll stay low and accept Desmond’s hospitality while he thinks of his next steps. Desmond is pretty sure Haytham is only half-serious when he says his next step should be to try and kill his son successfully this time around.
Edward: It would be funny if the reason why he fell is because he had been drinking so much and got into a scuffle or something but, let’s be honest, the reason why Edward would look so battered and wounded would be because this is the Edward who tried to save the last of his friends but wasn’t able to as she died in his arms. To give the others a chance to fly away, he stayed until he was sure they were far enough and tried to fly away, getting chased and ending up losing consciousness and dropping into the waters below out of pure exhaustion.
Shay: Shay fell into the waters after being chased and attacked by Garudas of the same nest as him. He would try to hide it from Desmond first but the truth is he had stolen his nest’s treasure because he learned it could destroy lands but no one would believe him. He and Desmond set out to find other treasures like it and ends up fighting Shay’s old nest.
Arno: Okay. This is the real idiot who got so fucking drunk and nosedived into the water because, as he likes to explain to Desmond, he got dumped. It doesn’t take a genius to find out that Arno isn’t telling the whole story and this is more contained, with Desmond and Arno staying in Desmond’s little hidey-hole while Arno tries to audition for Bella Swan’s “3-month-rest”. Honestly, this is more about Desmond helping Arno realize that his dependency on his ex’s love for him and making that his main push to do things is not healthy and is actually a symptom of his crippling abandonment issues created by the death of his father that further dug its claws in him when he was adopted by strangers.
Jacob: There was an incident concerning an ex-’partner’ that involved the deaths of fledglings and the burning of a location that he was pretty much trapped in. Jacob wasn’t really that forecoming with the details. Also, a few days after he woke up but still healing, a huge flocks started flying all around shouting “boss!” and that’s how Desmond learned Jacob was the leader of the local Garuda ‘delinquent’ gang.
Evie: She had been flying away from some cult that wanted the key she had and Desmond had to follow her because she’s still injured but she insisted she needed to return to her flock. (Desmond is worried because she always talked about a flock but never a nest and the only flockmembers he had heard of were her brother and another Garuda by the name of Mister Green)
Bayek: Pure exhaustion after killing one of the men that had a hand in the death of his son caused him to fall from the sky. He also had some kind of golden ball with him that seemed to call to Desmond for some reason and Bayek just… starts visiting after he left. Desmond isn’t sure why but it’s nice to have company so he doesn’t say anything about it.
Kassandra: Kassandra is quite cagey about what happened that caused her to fall into the waters. She also doesn’t seem to mind staying in Desmond’s hidey-hole even after her wounds have healed. There’s always a hint of sadness in her eyes and Desmond is sure she’s older than she says she is.
Alexios/Deimos: There was a huge fight that caused all his injuries. He’s still bitter over the fact that the only reason he lived was because his opponent had been merciful. To rub salt to the wound, his opponent turns out to be his sister and Desmond really didn’t want to get in the middle of that family ‘drama’ but, well, Alexios is a bit of an idiot when it concerns his own wellbeing so he follows him back to wherever the hell he was supposed to go, telling Alexios (and himself) that it’s only until he had fully healed, okay? No. Seriously.
Eivor: There was a huge fight between her and her ‘brother’ that ended with her being exiled from the nest. Eivor had a run-in with one of the ‘people’ that her nest had raided before and she was outnumbered and tired so retreating had been her only option (as much as she hated it and believed it dishonor her). Desmond thinks there’s more to the story but he’s not gonna pry. (I think it would be better for Eivor to be able to shapeshift into a raven instead and the plot twist is she’s Odin, one of the many gods of the world)
Basim: Kinda like Haytham’s deal but this is after his battle with Eivor and he lost but managed to get away. As he was healing, he tells Desmond about his son and Desmond asked why don’t he just find his son? Why focus on revenge? And Basim… can’t even answer that.
(Bonus) Clay: He was being held by really, really bad assholes who worship the Father of Understanding and they did something to him that, in Clay’s own words, broke his mind. Desmond doesn’t really understand any of it but Clay insists that the golden ball he had with him was important and he needs to give it to someone but he can’t remember who. Desmond tells him he should focus on healing first and he’ll help him try to regain his memories. (Desmond has no idea how though but keeping Clay from reopening his wounds was the pressing issue at the moment)
(Bonus) Malik/Kadar: Oh, you know the drill by now. This is set in this story’s version of the prologue of AC1 and Desmond keeps Malik/Kadar alive. If it’s Malik, the arm is replaced by wing instead.

u kno, idk if i said this here but "sylki" sounds like a women's shaving product to me. specifically a women's one, it'd be some pink thing that costs about three times as much as razors aimed at men but i'm not even sure if it is a razor, it might be some weird cream that doesn't work or an odd hi-tech gadget that doesn't work, but the point here is that it definitely sounds like the name of a product that a) is pink, b) costs too much, and c) is demonstrated in repetitive annoying ads by women who already lack body hair so why are they even using a sylki on that body part in the first place eh?

>cybersex so good it got me feeling sentimental about human connection
Damn bro r u Ryan Gosling from Blade Runner 2049 cuz
my knowledge of that movie only extends to the memes of ryan gosling looking sad and weary but that's probably a fair comparison LMAO 💀
idk man. sth sth being in touch with my sexuality sth sth does a body good i guess. what's even crazier is that i'd been hard stuck on a lit assignment for the past few days but this morning afterwards i immediately had like an epiphany and banged out the entire thing in an hour solely by the grace of my post-post-post-nut enlightenment and thoroughly fucked sleep schedule lol
so uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh moral of the story is having cybersex solves all your problems 👍👍 like it really is peace and love on this bitch of a planet earth sometimes. damn

im sorry to hear people are stomping all over your boundaries, big props to you for sticking up for yourself and putting your foot down. I hope you're doing ok (/gen)
on another, hopefully happier note, i noticed your info post mentions that you self ship! I'd love to hear about your favourite self ships if you're comfortable talking about them some time?
i actually never did or had interest in this but then haitham waltzed in so hes the first and only one (this whole thing flusters me so its smth i indulge in for myself in private by reading or daydreaming or sometimes i babble and ramble about him very in depth)
(most hkvthm things i draw is just me going 'wish that was me' and drawing it LMFAO)
ohh also same w kaveh but in a slightly different way than haitham (theyre both the only ones) i want them to hold hands. i want them to hold my hands. there
#i dont feel attraction to ppl irl mostly bc im just not comfortable around ppl#and the ones i am are my friends and theres obv no romantic attraction#so when i saw haitham and learned more and mroe of him and how he and i share so many traits and ideas and things it was#instant comfort and the feeling of being understood#that its like#if he was real i would seek out his warmth and presence instead of getting away frm it like with my ex partners when it was too much for me#knowing that he would understand me therefore knowing how to handle me without making me uncomfortable or upset#uhh so basically. he made me realize all i want is just someone who perfetly understands me and knows how to treat me#when to come close and when to give me space#perfectly knowing me and reading me#i cant speak and in the rare moments i am able to im often struggling to form my thoughts into sentences that make sense#so he would still understand and put together that garbled mess and know exactly what i mean#not misunderstanding and acusing me of things or tones i never said or used#ppl and things messed me up quite a bit in the past that im having trouble w lots of things unless im alone#only when im alone i feel truly comfortable and safe bc nothing can hurt or upset me but even then you kinda realize in some moments that#you actually want someone with you but it has to be smn you trust and who knows you inside out and all that#i dont have anyone like that and idk if i ever will but rn this character is jsut rotating in my head giving me these things i crave and#thats enough#sorry that was a lot of gay rambling there but yea idk if it sounds stupid or nah but my#mental health issues got way better and balanced ever since haitham so he really#grounds me and gives me strength and comfort to deal with things i would have be unable to do in the past year#bc even if i dont have smn who truly knows and understands me#inside me there is someone#reply#tags tbd#in case i get embarrassed LMFAO
