#its not really a mystery

[caffeinatedopossum]

I just saw a tiktok (that probably originated as a YouTube video or something because it was long) trying to theorize that humans evolved on Mars and I'm honestly just devastated. Like I feel old. We shouldn't be on the internet.

These are grown ass men, with degrees, being so sure of themselves that the reason we are so poorly evolved is because we're not made for this planet and not just that like... evolution sucks? Like have they studied nothing but humans their entire lives? There's too many animal species to count where they literally die over stupid shit like evolving without a stomach so they die of starvation (see: all moths after their caterpillar stage) We aren't built different.

#anyway i am at a loss for words #also sorry i rant about stupid tiktok videos on here quite a lot tbh #like maybe i should just try not to think aboht it #but its just so disturbing to me that i know this wasnt a joke. they were serious and at least a handful of people are going to believe it #skgkfkfh it makes me want to rip my hair out how do people like this get time in front of a camera #how do people like that even make it to adulthood. where does that audacity come from #they also said that its why we get sunburnt and need sunglasses and stuff. because clearly the suns radiation is not natural #like i hate to break it to you but were not from mars were just destroying our original protection from the sun #so now we have more cancer and more sunburns and our eyes are beimg damaged #its not really a mystery

That's Right #lackadaisy #WHICH i have been reading since at least '07 when i was thirteen my god b/c this animation is based on the ongoing webcomic #like does its influence show up Directly in some Discrete way i can point to in my art? not very easily probably. And Yet. #the inspiration....i wasn't able to be Regularly Only for at least another year / art done Nonprofessionally Online was novel to me #like wow ppl can make & post fanart of w/e they love huh....didn't know webcomics were a thing & i never really read that many since but. #good god the quality of Lackadaisy at its onset is like this is superb?? this person putting in all their talent and effort??? #and Then you get years & years more art and i don't even know what superlatives to throw out abt its quality as it evolves. obsessed w/it.. #if i see a new lackadaisy comic page i Will be acting out. obviously this animation is a delight & also stunning. and fascinating to also #juxtapose as a Translation / Interpretation of the comic in a different medium & standalone snippet of Story #and that we're not even quite there in the comic timeline; Taking Notes abt character info we get distilledly here....genuinely love like #take it back to '07 i'm like oh boy can't wait for the dream team to assemble. then a decade later when it did?

I saw a post once talking about a bingqiu scott pilgrim au where LBH had to fight all of SQQ's suitors, which is a cool concept and all, but have you considered the comedic potential and insanity of a bingyuan Scott pilgrim au where SY has to defeat LITERALLY HUNDREDS of bingge's exes??

#just put him through the ringer! #make it even more baffling where shen yuan just thinks he started dating this really cool and mysterious guy in the modern world #but then oop! all these magical evil exes start appearing through portals super angry that binghe abandoned them for his shizun world hunt #now i know what you might be thinking #how does a hermit like shen yuan beat all these wives? #its because he's in the unexplainable world of scott pilgrim battle rules of course! #so its a mixture of outsmarting them in dumb ways and video game logic powers #so then its binghes turn to be baffled #“... i thought you said cultivation and magic doesnt exist in your world?” #“it doesnt.” #“you just punched that woman so hard she exploded into coins...” #svsss #scum villains self saving system #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #bingqiu #bingyuan #shen yuan #luo bingge

In the possessed doll au, Bruce is definitely a creepy kid.

This is, after all, a haunted au.

He looks like a 'murdered victorian child' kid. Even before he watched his parents die.

Like, very big pale blue eyes. Significantly more striking /pos as a smiling adult than a perpetually blank faced unblinking child. He looks like he knows how you die. Pale skin, ink black hair traditionally styled, big dark lashes to frame those uncanny eyes. Just the hint of eye bags.

Alfred in any timeline has a spine of steel, but there must have been at least once when he was woken up in the night to a tiny shape staring unblinkingly deep into his eyes and thought 'I am going to die'. Normal kids are absolutely terrifying to wake up to, as any parent will attest, but imagine being an ex military spy now butler living alone on the most cursed land you've ever imagined, taking care of the only kid after your employers, his parents were brutally murdered, and suddenly you jolt awake in the middle of the night to see two enormous eyes less than a foot from your face, two engorged dots for pupils, staring, still as stone into your very soul.

Bruce, hushed because it's bedtime: Mr Alfred I threw up :(.

Alfred, trying to calm his thundering heart and not reflexively shoot his ward, dizzy from the sudden adrenaline from deep sleep rush, not letting himself freak out in front of the boy:.............................. Oh dear. That's not good.

Bruce, still not blinking or looking away: :(((

Wayne manor is a setting from a murder mystery at night, and it's not Bruce but Alfred that's the main character.

Perhaps, he thinks, it was always going to end this way. Not because of fate, but because the characters of the play would not know themselves to act otherwise.

@puppetmaster13u may I present?

#Batman with the justice league: *goth so dark its almost comic relief* *logical and pragmatic strategist* *creepy but a normal enough dude* #Batman in Gotham: *supernatural murder mystery slash horror game only missing the zombies* *triple edged daggers* *fear gas smog* #Ooh I hadn't thought much of the villains but let's really lean into the haunted aesthetic for Halloween #batman #possessed doll au #cryptid batfam #cryptid batman #.... Honestly you don't really need to change the villains much #It's like that Shazam/cap marvel post. Uwu strong man with the league and fighting off eldritch horrors bent on enslaving humanity at home

Jellyfish Prince 💙

#better drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #Happy 'It took me a whole month to figure out what Mermay was all about'! #fun fact about me: prior to all this blog stuff I use to be really fascinated by jellyfish. #to the point they were one of the few things I could draw. #when I was trying to practice art before I started making these comics #I was constantly baffled by hair. I did not understand its form or its mysteries. #Then the ghost of my past jelly-loving self suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and went 'Dude. just like jellyfish'. #cue me going 'Oh my god. Just like Jellyfish'. And then I kinda got the jist of it. #This is all to say that the majority of LWJ's appearances (especially early on) are 100% directly inspired by jellyfish #This idea has been lingering in my mind for months...being able to pull off an idea and translate it onto the page.... #nothing beats that feeling B'*) #This is teenji btw. He isn't complete unless he's on the verge of extremely frustrated tears. Sopping wet and biting. Just like...jellyfish #And now that I know mermay is a thing I finally have an excuse to dunk him into the water.

I'm only on like chapter 4 but I really like the way Migi to Dali is handling the idea of irrational childhood fears when experienced by two twelve-year-olds with seemingly very little interaction with normal human society. like why WOULD the twins know what wigs are and why people have them? they don't need them to survive! they're completely superfluous! I don't think they've had much space for superfluous things. they're used to everything being a life-or-death matter with only each other and their wits to save them. thinking the parents are going to steal their hair and then make their escape on what looks to be a biplane is a very twelve-year-old thought process, but it makes sense that they would immediately assume they're in danger.

#migi to dali #migi and dali #also im really liking this weird eerie american suburbs vibe it has despite it being set in japan #adds to the surrealism element of it. its like reality but it isnt #also the mystery. like is this an alternate timeline where japan is more westernized? is it just these people? will this be explained? #who knows! certainly not me!

This is just an idea for an au

Idk the name would probably be something like the "(not so) imaginary friends au"

#my art #(ns)if au #??? i guess #moondrop #sundrop #fnaf dca #daycare attendant x reader #i actually just doodled myself when i was small and then had the idea #atleast i have an au for the moon design i liked now #its a super cozy au #dunno if i will make more of it #not to sound dumb but i still have my imaginary friends from when i was small so this au hits home for me #i know that i wrote that they are real but maybe i could play around with how real they really are #maybe its a mystery if they are actually real or not

#art tag #oc: leaf (pmd) #leafeon #pmd #pokemon #pokemon mystery dungeon #i have So many ideas its insane #im just not fast enough to draw it all #in the middle of making an 8 page comic for leaf and her ThoughtsTM back when she was just turned into an eevee #honestly. good for her. bc i used to focus so much on emerald & bronze when i was a kid and leaf was just. there #now she gets her own flavouring of trauma #not to say the others dont have their own brand but im focusing on leaf rn #bronze has been the most neglected bc i think he lived a fairly ok life #his big thing was the he was from amp plains and also personally knows both the manectric and luxray tribe leaders #not on purpose. he doesnt even want to really know them. his dad just happened to cheat on the both of those guys #and his other parent was the luxray #(bc i considered changing him to being a shinx partner before instead of being pikachu) #so hes the bastard son who felt like he didnt belong
