so, inspired by the warm welcome the captain received with that rough doodle i posted, i made an updated design for Ki'ita as well (basic and with clothes)

i removed the piercings she had bc considering that they spend the majority of their time in arctic waters i think having metal directly in your skin is a bad idea, no matter how thick your blubber is; i also gave her typical white markings a green hue bc ... i liked how it looked and makes them stand out a little more

(i will not repeat what i wrote on the post about the captain but wanted to add a bit of more info about Ki'ita herself)

(i dont have ALL of their backstory done yet but) the captain and Ki'ita worked together in another organization, one in which the father of the captains child also worked at, before being betrayed and barely managing to escape, after which the both of them founded their pirate crew (possible name is the Solar Pirates bc of their solar powered boat stuff); since the captain had her daughter shortly afterwards Ki'ita managed most of the organisational matters at first, including the construction of their base on an abandoned island they had initially fled to

over the years they invented the solar powered ships that allowed them to gain control over a large part of an important trade route, leaving normal ships (mostly) alone but attacking those of hunters and similar, rescuing demons and mutants, even some humans from them, most of which also join the crew and it quickly lead to them becoming their own little community

Ki'ita does not like to spend alot of time among large groups of people, no matter how much she cares about them, and her originally being from norther lands gave her the idea to explore, and if viable, do underground missions in those norther areas to disrupt the infrastructure the hunters had built in recent years and overall keep the crew informed about things that may otherwise stay hidden; with each of their travels her time absent from the base increased but the patience of the captain is wearing thin so its likely a serious talk is underway on Ki'itas third solo mission she nearly died due to entanglement in abandoned nets made by hunters from an unknown material that she could not break, the massive scars on her tail especially come from that, only surviving bc the date they were supposed to return to the crew had passed and the captain grew to worried about her and made the entire crew rush into an emergency search, including the captain herself and her toddler, who were not suited for the cold climate just like the rest of crew, taking a huge risk that Ki'ita still feels ashamed of for causing; they stayed within the base for a whole year afterwards, not just to recover but also as a silent apology, taking time preparing herself to ensure theyd not get into a situation like that again

(before departing on their next mission the captain gifted her a sword with the blade made from the material of the net, a wooden handle, bc of the cold, and a blue wrap around it reminiscent of the captains striking blue teeth; a reminder of what had happened, a means to defend herself when their strength and teeth are not enough, and also a promise to always return again)

the oldest members of the crew know Ki'ita well and treat her like an old friend, among the newer members she has more of a .. cryptic status, the mysteriously absent vice-captain who only appears every few months or so out of thin air, throws a big party, sleeps for a few days and then vanishes again, the only hint to when they will return soon again being the captain getting noticably grumpier

(OC art, Ki'ita, she/they)

What led to this (orufrey comic, cw an uncomfortable/creepy scene)

#witch hat tag #orufrey #er.... i'm too tired to have anything to say..i worked several days on this. #wait.. didn't i say just recently here that i probably wouldn't ever depict 'what if alaira is qifrey's sort-of ex'. What's going on #i don't even remember deciding to draw this..it's all a blur..i'm not sure why i WOULD decide to draw delicate scenes in my head #that i wouldn't really want to share with anyone/discuss so why did i draw it... #some part of me really really wants to draw things that are more and more true to myself... #maybe because of my alienation with most romance/shipping/dynamics the rest of the world depicts. #orufrey really is perfectly suited to me - what i read in the text and what is in my head. well anyway #i am TIRED of drawing poses and angles and..maybe now i will actually take a break from drawing bc of the tediousness of Angles #btw it really is a 'stretch of time' . . . assuming witches graduate age 18-20 #well orufrey are canonically 30-ish. they've only had agott around for presumably about TWO years (?) bc she took the test age 10 #and it feels like oru moving in/unknown atelier acquisition/building (?) .. i guess that could be a year or so before agott at most #(she was the first disciple) so... ????????? What about the other 7 or so years ?!?!?!!?!?! Unemployed Brimhat Hatred era #that time is very nebulous. after qifrey went to the tower i feel like it's been implied he and oru drifted apart a little. #certainly they didn't live together at first... no way. that doesn't feel like how it is based on things oru has said about becoming Eye #idk. I'm tired now. i don't usually think of alaira as necessarily qifrey's ex and this being how things went in that 'sliver of time'. #i usually prefer the idea that they have their first kiss with each other in their 30s cause That's Just The Orufrey Lifestyle #just felt like making a more relatable alternative view of my own Cai Orufrey Canon one time. btw im a big monoshipper and it hurt a bit #let's leave it there. this is surely the most i've worked on a 'single' art - though now i realise just how much longer the fic took :')

#id in alt text #my son my scrinklo scrimblo my one and only my rotten soldier my sweet cheese #learning the hard way that silly little portraits wit kinda monotonous expressions are my comfort zone hehe #im also working on the clothing tutorial for the other anon it just uhm. might take a bit #trying to break down my art process is DIFFICULT lads idk what i’m doing all of the time i’m serious #zuko #my art #ash replies #ask #also side note. this is the first time i drew ponytail zuko and u know what i take back everything i ever said about that hairstyle #its amazing it’s bold it’s a statement s1 zuko ur a misunderstood fashion icon #ahead of your time

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

#eve text #elmike #stranger things #byler #only tagging byler because i feel like yall will like this take lol #tagging tagging tagging WHAT ARE EVERYONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS #god i can't believe i'm making a post about stranger things. this feels like poking a bear #i'm not particularly anti m*leven but like... they'd have to do something pretty special at this point for me to feel like it's viable #i'm seeing the bts of s5 and it's got me Having Thoughts #elmike friendship is something i am so passionate about #even before i ever liked byler (didn't ship at all until s4 even though i knew it was a thing before) i've felt this way about elmike #i always believed they were close friends at heart and needed to break up #the romance part of them felt very distinctly young and very much “he was a boy she was a girl” to me #and it hasn't deepened into anything more mature and i don't see how it could based on the current state of the writing... #the fact that lumax exists — a young relationship that is actively maturing and is healthy — makes that clear to me #and the “love confession” in s4 and how disingenuous and miserable it felt was just the nail in the coffin #also the fact that will (who is IN LOVE with mike) was instrumental in making it happen? ... uh... okay... interesting choice… #fucked up and reductive if they make it another queer unrequited love sacrifice for the sake of pushing the heterosexual agenda YUCK #so i really hope the speculation about a m*leven breakup is real!! i think it just makes sense for their characters but who knows #i don't believe in the notion of love at first sight or one true love and i think the writers don't too??? #love to me is an accumulation of experiences and we inevitably choose it at some point rather than fall into it... but idk #tv is so fixated on keeping couples together... sometimes it's just not reality guys especially with young people... LET IT GO... #like i said though i'm not 100% sold that they're going to give up their “golden couple” LMAO #stranger things hasn't historically subverted too many tropes if i'm being honest #anyway i seriously need this season to come out quickly... i'm so bored and getting my master's is crushing my soul #i need frivolity #ALSO btw i won't respond to hateful messages about this so please don't bother. it's not that serious. this is a netflix show

anyways seeing Duncan still with the Schism at the end left me like ☹️

#like logically i know duncan wouldnt have had a change of heart after we defeated him right #like i know he wouldnt have just went “oh you know what youre so right let me become a good person immediately” #but seeing him still within the literal cult that manipulated and took advantage of him when he was still a young kid is so sad and gross #like. gretta darkkettle was also there with him like bitch. step away from him #DUNCAN NEEDS TO GOOOOOO BRO he needs to break away from all that shit and heal #i know the “good ending where duncan faces the consequences for his actions then leaves to discover himself” is my personal hc but...... #will duncan ever get a good ending in canon. like im not saying he should be in jail for 90 years or anything but i wanna see some growth #IDK suprisingly duncan has a soft spot in my heart (places him gently next to morganthe and gf spider) #maybe just because i can sorta relate to him HAKSBDISLWJU but still yall. i want him AWAY from the schism shit #he should not still be with the group who encourages his harmful behaviors and his hateful emotions #anyways fuck gretta #WAIT WAS THE SCHISM SOLDIER THERE EITH EVERYBODY ELSE OR DID HE STRAIGHT UP JUST LEAVE LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD #wizard101 #w101 #wiz101 #text posts #wallaru spoilers #wizard101 spoilers #duncan grimater

i loveeeee love love the ways that betty and simon's idolization of one another impacts their ability to have a healthy relationship & also prevents them from accepting when the other has changed or gotten worse in their eyes (simon to golbetty, betty to ice king). the way betty treated ice king always seemed particularly callous to me since it seemed like in the end she only ended up seeing him as a means to an end to being simon back cus she physically could not cope with how different he was (despite her having also changed so drastically by then too)

i always enjoyed how it was a bit of an uncomfortable/stark parallel to how poorly some people cope with a loved one having a degenerative illness... or just any change in like cognitive ability for example. there's definitely a power imbalance in their early rship just by nature of how betty idolized simon so intensely but so many of the situations that arose later were solely her own doing

which made it rly impactful i think when betty was finally able to tell simon that she had no regrets. being able to move on and be at peace w/that, for two people who were so unhealthily obsessed with "fixing" either their perceived wrongdoings or fucked up situations that are just outside of their control... good conclusion to their arc

#ppl seemed to be upset that this meant they werent 'together' anymore but idk. theyre a part of each other #forever and ever. thats a good and powerful thing in and of itseld #that being said i hope theres a timeline where ice king and magic betty stay in goofy magic love forevers #fionna and cake #adventure time #betty grof #simon petrikov #petrigrof #fionna and cake spoilers #text

if there's one thing that is absolutely pissing me off it's my irl friend who wanted to see my instagram account

#i didn't really want to show it to him but i may have mentioned that i started this account #because he keeps talking about tiktok all the time #and he said he wanted to see it so i was like yeah ok why not it would be nice to know i have his support #and ever since he followed me he never liked any of my posts #any of my stories (& he keeps viewing them all the time literally seconds after i post them) #he never said a single word about this account #he even resists texting me there even tho i said i don't use my priv anymore #(i deleted facebook & messenger so we only text on instagram) #& it drives me crazy because i feel like he's probably just laughing at me in secret & i feel embarrassed #& i regret showing it to him #i don't even need him to read my stupid posts but it would be nice to hear one good word like #idk #it doesn't matter ignore me i'm just mad #but sincerely can you hear me?*

[scionshtola]

i’m still thinking this through but i don’t think cori ever really held any resentment for hydaelyn. like yes being hydaelyn’s chosen is a burden that they have had varying feelings about being given from “im glad it’s me because i want to help” to “why was it me when i can’t even save my loved ones” to “im glad it’s me so that no one else has to do it” and maybe it was unfair but i don’t think they’ve ever resented hydaelyn for it. and they’ve never truly wanted it to be someone else.

#long lost scene of cori telling shtola what if i gave up on this and we ran away together and shtola thinking they were joking bc she’s like #‘lol you would never do that.’ and she’s right. also shtola would never do that which is also the only reason cori even mentioned it #more on topic the first person cori is going to blame always is themself #and there’s v few ppl i think cori really has negative feelings toward #hydaelyn was just never one of them…but also i need to get miyu through sb #so i can think about this more #i need a text post tag #idk i was just reading something that said the wol’s fate that hydaelyn bound then too was cruel and obv i think it’s fair to think that #in general and for your own wol but i just don’t think cori feels that way or ever really has lol

[ophernelia]

one thing i ask of you guys is to never call yourself a fan of mine. you're not a fan, you just enjoy lykaia. (and i love that lol) also i am no sort of entity to be a fan of. i just write a story and share it. a creative, sure, but not a creator in that sense. and i don't want that to sound like i don't appreciate the support because i do! just understand we're on equal footing. we've got a shared interest, that's all!

#idk i dont like idolization verbiage #it makes me very uncomfortable #also stuff like queen and anything along those lines #i genuinely appreciate the sentiment but idk how to tell yall im just a girl lol #one who got lucky with the algorithm and was able to connect with quite a bit of yall but thats really it #said it before and i'll say it again i'm not here to influence or anything #i have only ever wanted to just do my own thing whether other people came to witness it or not #i will happily reject every pedestal no thank you! #even the 'omg i cant believe you followed me' girl ME???????? #not even in a “omg im so humble” way its just that i literally am just a person lmaoo #text post

Lost my original post of this from the other day but I genuinely don't understand how Black Butler discourse ever shifted into the does Sebastian ~really~ like Ciel or is Ciel just dinner line of conversation that is pervasive as it is because Sebastian is the one that has absorbed his whole existence into Ciel's. Sebastian's face is what Ciel wants Sebastian's whole purpose is doing things for Ciel Sebastian's every hell of a butler yes my lord speech is about how he's Ciel's and Ciel is the one going around saying shit like whatever Sebastian is just my pawn 💅

#like sjdjdkdd?????? #it's not that i don't think ciel loves sebastian per se bc. well. i don't think he'd ever process it in terms like that no matter what... #...kind of relationship they have bc the most important thing to him is getting him to do tasks like a dog and proving he will over and over #which is why sebastian does it all so overkill #but the most acknowledgement you ever get that ciel likes sebastian is stuff like idk the fucking book of atlantic you did good today #or if we're feeling really crazy the you were the only demon there line #like the dynamic has gotten way skewed in fandom away from the actual text #and i know why but it's still annoying bc i am not even saying this in a shippy way bc i don't give a fuck about ships #but they're so crazy entwined and in completely incomparable inhuman situations that it literally has no merit on this story to sit and... #...definitely piece together how this relationship works with real life normie standards like it literally is going to fit into no box of... #...what we think of as friends or siblings or parents or partners bc no victorian guy on the face of the earth has a real pet demon. #it's so boring you're missing the bigger picture that they're everything to each other and completely stuck together forever #does x mean y mean z? (least problematic answer only) they're stuck together! forever! #and no one has demons in real life it's all comparable to real life nothing #other than the asthma that's real #anyway. it's like fandom has made up a version of this story in their heads that is so devoid of anything that makes the story the story #twitter is like another planet for this i am mostly talking about twitter where i have been looking for news about the anime and oh boy #i have said this before but sebastian doesn't have a grip on human relationships bc he's not one and ciel doesn't give a fuck #but like this post started with and strayed from. well. sebastian isn't even trying to act like he's indifferent. ciel actually is. #and we're all missing several funny bits from that just trying to fit everything into a box #we could have more interesting conversations if we got past the same three people have been having for 20 years #kuroshitsuji #my kuro posts

you know, we're so focused on the whole soukoku scene when they fought lovecraft and steinbeck (obviously so cause that was an EPIC scene) that we're completely forgetting the fact that kunikida and tanizaki fought them and won first...

#idk if ive ever mentioned this in a text post or tags but kunikida and tanizaki are such an intriguing partnership?? #like we have this one guy who would sacrifice everything for his ideas... #...with a guy that would sacrifice everything for one person #and yet they WORK somehow.... #we've had more scenes of their partnership in the manga than we've had with kunikida and dazai #which is a SHAME because the latter is SUCH an interesting dynamic #but tanizaki and kunikida intrigue me a lot as well... #because their's is a partnership that seems almost...out of the blue #yet there are definitely parallels and contrasts in there #and there is definitely a shared sense of fondness or something between the two that i honestly think needs to be explored #and i think what's interesting about them is that tanizaki has consistently said he's not much of a fighter.... #and yet he's LETHAL in the battlefield...not really for combat but with all his...sneakiness #i mean i guess if anything this just goes to show how the ada can work well enough without dazai #and that's always a good thing to show?

tbh after finishing i kind of retract the enthusiasm of my recommendation (but not necessarily the recommendation itself) for he who drowned the world. i still found some of the themes it covers really refreshing in the fantasy genre (for ex the descriptions of recognizing yourself in others across queer identities felt v real), but the way it covered them ended up feeling incoherent/unfocused in an area that imo especially needs precision in order not to blunder into insensitivity. (i also in the middle of reading saw people saying it treats eunuchs ahistorically, and frankly i know nothing on the topic and wasn’t drawn to the book for its historical elements—“real-world setting with tiny magical component” isn’t my jam—but that does match up with the whole slew of weirdness i’m feeling overall.) i’m glad i read it and the overall plot kept me interested but i’m hoping it’s the start of a trend in the genre rather than something to point to as “hell yeah, they did it”?

#text tag #i don’t knowwww my feelings are v confused #if i were just going off my own experience it would be pretty straightforward because the protag is the most resonant example of #‘representation’ i’ve ever experienced but that doesn’t really factor into how i judge a book’s quality idk #oh and i already said this about the first book but i figured out how to phrase it better. its focus on ruling a kingdom but total lack of #engagement with the people who live in that kingdom feels like the goal they’re striving toward could be replaced with one of those #competition stories that are so popular today and remain virtually unchanged. once the love interest says ‘everyone could be themselves if #zhu ruled the kingdom’ but that is the ONLY reference to what her policy would look like
