#i used to be so beat down

[jacksprostate]

sorry this is once again my monthly 'i'm in love with people and our capacity for compassion even in the face of deep deep cruelty, even though i've seen worse and worse things, come to terms with so much, it's my love of humanity that has let me avoid rotting, encouraged me to grow and chase my own place in helping everyone around me" post

#im really excited for the job im starting. still about a month or so out but heading towards a career change sort of that im really excited #for. im just... i actually used to be very cynical and i struggled to see the point through all the terrible things in the world #but for many reasons #even as i discovered worse and worse things #ive developed... resiliency i never thought id have #born out of this appreciation for those and the world around me #and i wish i could share it. i see so many people in my old shoes #im still growing. so much to do #but im at a level of contentment.. idk. i couldntve dreamed of #and it took effort #it is not /easy/ to face things and believe in good regardless #but. its rewarding. i wish it for all of you #on a similar but different note ive been reaching a point of being more myself in social situations rather than just a chameleon #and ive been lucky enough to have the people around me the past two years or so be very supportive in a way that has truly let me grow and #become a better version of myself #and its sort of been this positive feedback loop. because the more confident and passionate you are the more people are delighted by your #eccentricies #i used to be so beat down #i still struggle so much #but. im at a place i never thought id be #no doubt there will be struggles in the future #hell its not like things are perfect now #still so much. major things to improve on #but idk. i am happy #and its a very full sense of happiness. #full and aware and strong #thats what i wish for all of you :)

wolfwood redraws (ID in alt text)

#nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #tw blood #going to be talking vol 9 spoilers in here pls do not read if u have not read it!! #wolfwood my beloved. he's such a battle genius with such strong survival instincts and incentive to fight. it makes me so sad but also #it's just the way he's been able to live for as long as he has [explodes] #midvalley calling him a demon/devil (iforget which word) and livio being like “victory seems impossible” when faced against him aughhh AUGH #he's clearly not invincible - vol 8 proved that when he almost did get beat if not for vash swooping back in... but the way he carries #the battles really makes it feel like it. especially whenever he “revives” for the sake of protecting another person. i.e. him getting #back up to defeat livio - him battered and worn from the fight but then pushing his body to get up when chapel aimed at the orphanage #and then despite the blood gushing out of him he still regained cautiousness to defend razlo at the end.... ugh.... ugh..... #anyway... i love how nightow draws ww - these were fun to do. ive been meaning to do these redraws esp from vol 9/10 #and maybe ill go back to do redraws from his previous fights. all and all i just need to get down how he uses the punisher properly #ruporas art

Happy new years… let’s stay hydrated together ✨

#I didn’t end up going to the rave just stayed in with my buddies and had KFC (( Korean fried chicken )) and laughed til we cried so #it was still a wonderful start to the new year 💞🥰💞 #but the fwb wanted pics of my potential rave look so I figured eh I brought the stuff anyways #and now I’m imagining locking eyes with a stranger on the warm and writhing dance floor #the beat thumps and shakes and rattles the air in our breath as the spotlights dance in the reflections of our held gaze #he pushes his way through the crowd with a singular stare and a wicked smile on his face #I smile and turn my back on him arching myself so he knows I am giving what he’s looking for #I take careful steps through the revelry toward the edge where the crowd thins out #I prop myself up on an available stool in a lonely corner of the club as he closes the distance between us #“now I wonder why you dragged me all the way here” he utters in a playful growl “trying to get far away from the crowd?” #I smile and I nod. “obviously. can’t really do what I want with you out there” #his eyes perk up and his smile gives away the desire building inside him. “yeah? why don’t you show me then.” #“I thought you’d never ask” I smirk. I reach down into my pants and pull out my phone #“so this one is blue. he’s the oldest but he’s sooooo sweet. and that’s Eva. my only girl she’s sassy but she loves swea-” he leaves #whaddahell I say demurely whimpering even… whaddahell… #gpoy

DPxDC Prompt:

The next blow sent the human tumbling into the wall. It wheezed and spat up a gob of blood, pulling itself up on trembling arms and legs.

Pathetic.

“So this is the mortal who captured our young king’s attention. The so-called warrior who he trusted with the sacred duty of guarding his core.”

A shadowed hand pinned it to the wall and it uselessly pawed at the blade-like claws pressed against its fragile throat.

“How a weakling like you seduced High King Phantom, I’ll never know.”

The human squeezed its eyes shut. I’m sorry Danny, it mouthed with cracked and bleeding lips.

The impudence.

Slammed into the ruined bricks once more, the human let out a breathless cry.

“You dare address him like that. You dare to call upon his living name!” Dagger sharp teeth dripped shadowy ectoplasm inches from the mortal’s flesh.

“I’m doing him a favor, disposing of you.”

There was silence.

Then.

The human looked up with glowing green eyes.

A wave of unearthly force erupted from its body.

A dual layered voice echoed out from its miserable throat.

“Oh you just made a BIG mistake.”

#dpxdc #dpxdc prompt #ghost king danny #the ship is up to you #my writing #free to use #tw injury #hehe Danny is aaaaaaangry #I mean at this point the ghost is just ASKING to be torn a new one #I imagine Danny’s not quite healed yet so he’s sort of #using his love’s body to manifest his power #but it took him a few desperate angsty minutes to figure out How #hence the ghostly beat down #Extra Angst Potential if in manifesting his power the posession is also burning his love interest out from the inside- damaging body & soul #‘The power of the Ghost King is not meant to be wielded by mortal hands’ sort of thing #dp x dc

Siffrin plays Disco Elysium AU: Featuring backseat gamer Loop.

#in stars and time #ISAT #Siffrin #Loop #disco elysium #digital art #When I first thought of a crossover I went from 1) 'ISAT Disco AU but Loop is all of the skills' #To: 2) 'Loop is in the mindspace alongside the skills #To my magnum opus: 3)'Loop is sitting next to Siffrin backseat gaming him the whole time.' #Loop beat Disco Elysium ages ago and repeated it to the point they know all the vision quests and dialogue variables. #Siffrin just started playing and Loop keeps ruining the fun by using their meta-game knowledge to try and help. #Also let's be real. Siffrin's stats are 100% completely focused into motorics and nothing else. #If we can't Savoir Faire ourselves of this situation - we will explode. Endurance? Call my insurance instead. #Thinking skills? None. Emotional intelligence and morale? A failed social interaction canonically feels like death to them. #I might have bumped Phys up but...Siffrin's Electrochem stat is like -10. And Pain Threshold is emotional durability too. #Unused part of this joke is that I set their signature skill to Drama. #Both these games made my brain melt so now I get to combine them! I have that power! #This joke made me laugh the entire 3 hours I sat down and drew it and that is what creation should be about.

gnawing at the iron bars of my enclosure over the fic writers that use the whole dick Grayson chokeholds you during sex…like full arm around your neck can feel his bicep tensing against your throat type chokehold and after i just have to sit with my thoughts cause omfg NEED NEED. 🙏

#like the concept of him using any of his combat training against you is AHHHHHHHH #like jesus i know this man can have you pinned unable to move with ease #like unbothered holding you down with one arm no struggle #perhaps just beat me up idk #severe and utter brain rot #like everyone talks about rough jason todd but nah dick grayson is a feral kinky fucker #i think a lot about dick grayson #so very hot to me it’s not okay #dick grayson my beloved #dick grayson #richard grayson #dick grayson smut #dc titans #dc batfam #batfam #smut #night wing #dc robin

finishing up this documentary a friend recommended to me. I didn’t know basically anything about OJ Simpson beforehand and after having watched this documentary I don’t know how else you would be able to tell this story without the foundational context of white supremacy/Black oppression in America and Simpson’s bizarre position within it. like I feel like this documentary provides you with a comprehensive opinion about him and his place in American history. honestly jaw dropping

#I started watching it before he died but I guess it’s pretty timely now #also warning for a lot of really horrific footage of police brutality and crime scenes #like they show the beating of Rodney King and the murder scene and things like that #anyway jesus christ #feels like this is a once in a century type of story #also it’s on D+ for some reason lol? The site I used to use for rips went down so I did pay for this 😔

Since Sam and Dean beat the shit out of God first, Michael thinks it’s only fair that since he was robbed of his revenge the only thing he can do in retaliation is going down to hell and finding John Winchester and just letting Adam go fucking crazy. Can you imagine. All this time Adam was left behind and forgotten and now he’s the one who gets to land the first punch. It’s poetic, it’s hilarious and it can still happen. Jensen Ackles let me into your house we need to talk I have a proposition for you- *GUNSHOT*

#adam beating the shit out of John: #michael absolutely chowing down on popcorn: use the chair! #let ME into the writing room of the spn revival #I am SO sane and can definitely be trusted #midam #michael spn #adam milligan

I am very sad and could use some happy if anyone has a drop to spare

#I know I’m not like ‘around’ anymore #but if you had a moment for me I would very much appreciate it #I’m in the stage of creation where I can see my skill level is lacking from where I want it to be #and the words in my brain are not translating properly onto the page #unfortunately this year has done its best to turn me into dust #and then beat me down some more #so I have not been able to tear at it until it snaps and flows again #which has been cool #losing my form of escapism and all #anyways #it doesn’t matter #tell me a joke #pet pics #a silly story #your favourite thing you saw today #the world is beautiful and wide and more than any of us #I’ve just been caught in grey wash

hey. hey did yall notice smthn interesting about the kane dogs in the show and the mechanical hounds in fahrenheit 451? :)

especially the energy boosted kane dog? especially especially bc it grew an extra set of legs?

ya wanna know what else is interesting?

:)

#motorcity #mine #isnt that just fascinating #ofc im not pointing out anything new wrt mike and his past #we already know kane used him to... enforce deluxes interests on motorcity #and the writers even hinted that mike leading the demo crew That Fateful Day wasnt the only time he'd ever been down in mc #we could get into what mike did in mc exactly that has him feelin so guilty. we could speculate for hours even #however this post is about dystopias and dystopian media borrowing themes from each other #in order to teach each generation about dystopian fascist topics #and to see this in a kids show too :') wow #the writers did a fantastic job of weaving this particular character into this show #bc i deadass did not pick up on this until a yt vid i was watching one day mentioned mechanical hounds i think #idk but since bradburys novel is kinda trending again lately im sure it was smthn that brought it up to my attention #but yeah wow #high fives @ the writers for this thread being woven into a kids show about racing cars and beating dictators #from a novel in the 1950s nonetheless LOL
