#keeping it real simple

[bookwyrminspiration]

if I asked very nicely would you all be willing to take a one minute anonymous survey for my linguistics class. if the answer is yes, please click here. thanks :)

(sharing for a better response size would also be very appreciated)

#linguistics #quil's unholy underworld #i have no clue how to tag this #it is quite literally 2 multiple choice questions #keeping it real simple #it's a required project in an intro class #we didn't even get to choose the topic #anyway #it's less important the results #it's intended to teach us the scientific method in practice #which I have done. like 5 times now in different classes it feels #i literally studied the demographic of the library by age an entire summer once #anyway. here's hoping this is worded and structured well enough to do what I need it to #take my survey boy #please

#if doing colour studies is eating my vegetables this is like eating a lemon souffle with my hands. love doing stuff like this #nick valentine #fallout #fallout 4 #fo4 #i love how high contrast 50s magazine art is. i must absorb it #keeping this one real simple (i've busted up my drawing hand) (not seriously thankfully) (my cat mangled it) #dead man talking #rochedotpng

Decided to give Dragon Age another try and the first character I meet COMPLETELY wins me over in a matter of seconds-

#AND HE KEEPS GETTING BETTER- Alistair you singlehandedly pulled me back into enjoying video games and DRAWING- how dare you #dragon age #alistair theirin #alistair dragon age #dragon age orgins #fanart #my art #doodles #sketches #i have a very simple and obvious favourite character type and BOY OH BOY DOES HE DELIVER-- #also gave me just the tiniest Stanford HWBF5 vibe so when I say i was sold in seconds I Mean It™ #im still at the relative beginning of the game so i bet there is more fun to come but!! Fun to have someone to rotate in my brain again!! #100 #tags here are a love letters to our lovely boi and i livr for them-- 💕 #200 #hello i love all of you - this is slowly becoming my favourite post just because of how nice it is to read your excitement over this boi :³ #AND IM RIGHT THERE WITH Y'ALL i just need my real life to calm down for a second so i can draw more of him-- #300 #400 #500

Daily Diana #11

I am going issue by issue through Wonder Woman (1987—) and drawing my favourite outfits on a very vague daily schedule. Today's was an interesting mix of issues. Diana's outfit is from issue 10, rather than issue 11, as I wanted to draw the Queen Hippolyte & Philippus fight! Which was a LOT of fun to draw. One of the first fights I've ever drawn too!

Click & zoom in for better resolution!

And of course, the outfit & fight in context:

^ from issue 10

^ from issue 11

#theres a good chance the next few days are going to be really busy #really stressful #and really painful for me #so i hope i can do some art #but it might be real simple #or might need to take a short hiatus #dc comics #my art #wonder woman #daily diana #diana of themyscira #diana prince #idk why i keep tagging this w diana prince bc she's rejected using that name so far #anyway

the vegetarian/fake meat tech is getting so advanced, they're finally, Truly mastering the boss fight that is Texture and i'm so glad. i love it when the cooking result is "damn that's tasty! AND i enjoy chewing it??? it is properly toothsome?" and not the uncanny valley of mouthfeel and fla-vor

thanks uuuuuh [scurries afk to check the bag then scurries back] Daring. plant based chicken pieces. yeah you gets a recommendation from me to the veggies in the audience. now all you have to do is stop being expensive as fuque along with everything else in the store these days lmao

#sporadic warbling #fr tho all i did was add a little herbed salt and adobo just to keep it simple as a baseline test of trying a new brand & its great #i would have not at all questioned it if this was fed to me under the impression it was real chicken #and i'm usually the first person to call bullshit on that type of claim even if i'm gonna eat it anyway #with an actual re-sippy involved this would kick So much ass

“Okay you have any questions?”

“Yeah... can you step over a bit?”

“Why? Can’t you see everything?”

I said I’d do it, so here’s the full-proper version of that family tree Glimmer was sharing in an earlier comic. Yes this will be updated when Baby #3 gets namedropped... whoever they are.

Also I only omitted whoever else is associated with Houses Rhodes and Doyle to save my brain and canvas space, as well as Rex’s parents, and Nia’s father and sister as they do not have actual images to refer to. (Otherwise yeah I remember they exist, don’t prod me.)

a mask of my own face

#turtlearts #dr two brains #scopophobia #body horror #sharp objects #let me know if theres anything else that needs tagged! #anyways. thats supposed to be a mirror btw #also i tried so hard to fit a lot of symbolism and random shit into it. i am so willing to pick this drawing apart so if youd like that send #an ask or smth!!!! #for real i sank so many hours into this... it was supposed to be a simple colored sketch lmao #i just kept adding onto it for weeks and weeks. and all for what #looked up so many references and had to learn how to do things and tried out new brushes for this omg #like i need to emphasize that this was so hard to do and for what!!!! a silly little halloween spooky month drawing??!?!?!?!?! #even now when i look at it i hate it so much i want to keep adding things to it #i have to post it NOW or else i will be working on it for the rest of my life #pls give me nice words so i dont regret all the time i sank into this drawing </3 #if u think im fishing for complements and looking all the more pathetic and desperate for it. ur right </3 im sorry

I cannot express how much I love the human bois I live and thrive off of their beauty

I also am in love with the human boys I will defend and love every human au aaaa

Here are some mad scientist au doodles as humans cause why not

#fnaf daycare attendant #fnaf moon #fnaf sun #I’m just gonna put my thoughts on humanization in the tags #it is totally valid and real for the monster fuckers to want totally monster or robot versions of the characters #trust me I am your 1 cheerleader and also sometimes with you #but especially in aus and stuff I just have such a hard time with suspension of disbelief when they are still robots #but it has nothing to do with the plot or anything #and it also not really ever being explained why they look the way they do #like I get it their original designs slap and you want to keep as much of that as possible in derivations #but that little bit picky part of my mind is like- #but why tho?? #I also think there’s so much beauty and horror to be found in even simple humans #especially if you contrast it to the lack of humanity of a robot #but anyway #it all for fun and games and sometimes it is like #why not make them robots?? #they are so cool #anyway rambling #my tags are for me only if your all the way down here what are you doing??? #mad scientist au #ask

I see your doodle request are open. Can you doodle Hondo and Sandman attempt at flirting, make it cringe or corny 😈

JOSEE I TOO HAVE BEEN CRAVING A LIL DREAMLAND RUSH so my gift to u .. 🩷 Sandman recreating that one Rocky pose and using his (best) worst pickup line to woo Hondo .. and it worked technically !

i actually had to look up "shitty pickup lines about sleeping" for this im so dead serious and IT SUCKS JUST AS BAD AS U THINK IT WOULD !

English text reads:

"Hey baby, are you insomnia? Because you won't let me sleep with you"

Japanese text reads:

"いつかさ の人と結婚 するんだ..."

English translation:

"I'm gonna marry him one day..."

THIS ONE TOOK FOREVER CUZ I HAD TO DO A BUNCH OF SANDMAN STUDIES JUST TO TRY AND GRASP SOME OF HIS FEATURES BRO i still missed the mark a bit but practice makes perfect !! HOPE U LOVE IT JOSE KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE DREAMLAND RUSH NATION 🩷🩷

#punch out!! wii #punch out wii #punch out #mr. sandman #mr sandman #piston hondo #ask answered #dewdlebug #dreamland rush #THERES AN ENTIRE PAGE FILLED WITH FAILED ATTEMPTS 4 THIS ONE OMGG ITS SO SIMPLE BUT MY GOODNESS U WOULDN'T BELIEVE 😭 #srry if Sandman doesnt look fully like Sandy .. this is my first time ever trying to stylize (?) him and my first ever actual drawing of him #but its the thought that counts 🩷 im gonna keep trying to capture his real essence so he'll look TRULY Sandy-ish 🎉

On the next episode of Are Maleness and Sadism Interlinked or Am I Just Weird About My Masculinity and Kink

#my tranny sex mysticism is cooler than your cissy sex mysticism #although gender in general is a construct and everyone ties things to their gender which have little or no #real connection to anything like that #bc gender is identity #clothes are the easiest example but #i think i understand when people say stuff that sounds nonsensical like 'my gender is venus flytrap' #because gender is identity and if its a big thing in your identity you kinda like #connect it to your femaleness or maleness or both neither other #like when a girl fights shes still feminine kicking ass and that doesnt make her any less good at kicking ass #or when a guy does his nails it can very much be a masculine thing for him #its all made up and based on vague feelings and concepts #so sure conservatives feel free to identify as an ak47 you know its not a gotcha #and radfems feel free to keep calling me a monster it makes me hard <3 #but yea like. identity is both complex and simple. its the human condition to identify with things #and i dont think 'neogenders' are particularly new i just think we had different words or no words for that #but people have and always will identify with anything and everything #thats human nature. we mirror and absorb and grow #even twin sisters experience femaleness differently or even call it different things #girlhood or being a lady etc etc #even within the cishet society gender is not as simple as authoritarians would like you to believe #anyway yeah my gender identity is sadistic male aligned freak and other things

And second request, would you please draw a Narrator/Stanley outfit swap, because I stated thinking of them dressing up as each other for Halloween/just for fun and think it sounds neat!

Day 26 - Leave the sleeve up, leave it alone!

#My art #Requestober #The Stanley Parable #TSP #The Narrator #Stanley #The real joke here is that their clothes actually fit each other at all lol #Sinister is a string bean and Narra is short and stocky - hopefully his bulk would account for vertical stretch? #Considering I view Stanley's shirt as a cotton/blend of some kind it's a miracle he's not bursting the seams hehehe ♪ #And of course he wears it correctly! Buttons down the collar for the first time since it started existing lol #And while in his proper dress mood he turns his eye to Stanley to start making it his problem as well lol #Poor Sinister! Narra literally doesn't care even a little bit haha #Generally Stanley keeps his arm uncovered - as shown in his usual outfit! - since he's prone to overheating #Plus it's always irritated so any kind of abrasion - even just cloth - can be painful #But I mean if Narra cared in the first place his arm wouldn't look or feel the way it does lol #What's a bit of pulling the sleeve down so it looks ''correct'' among friends/enemies/lovers/existential soulmates #That aside they do look cute haha #Stanley in something kinda fluffy and plush ♪ And the Narrator in a simple button-down! #I feel like he'd want to put at least a vest over it lol - yes a button down is fine but mmnggg layers! #Oh and he gets to keep his glasses - for now - so he's not just stumbling around for authenticity's sake #Not that he's about to allow Stanley the same grace hehe ♪

I think that it's possible to believe that being the love interest is good for a black female character, that spuhura is a popular ship that has the fandom in a chokehold, that fans made it even more beautiful, and still recognize that 2009 spuhura wasn't greenlighted out of love for black feminism but rather to try to extinguish any gay readings of spock

#not that they succeded #hey. hey you reading. if you don't agree? don't harass. keep on scrolling. or block w/e. ✌️ #star trek aos #this is just to say that I'm tired of seeing spirk shippers being accused of racism and misogyny #when they say that spuhura was made canon to straightwash spock #and always being told ''but being the love interest is better for a black woman than being single'' #yes friend i can see that and i bet that there were people on the crew who genuinely shipped spuhura and were happy to make it real #but do you really believe that the paramount higher-ups thought about all that? #when spock has been gay-coded and gay representation for gay people for more than 50 years #it was plain and simple homophobia and I'll thank you that you don't downplay it #literally it's not even about spirk it's just that spock has been always gay coded and any reboot made ever since tos always tries to erase #that part of his character. there is no longer even space for nuance #spock is no longer portrayed as mostly disinterested in women except for extraordinary occasions #it's spock x woman or else

[fuckyeah-bears]

literally exerting sooo much self control and impulse control not to snap back at idiots replying stupid shit on my posts. people are annoying as fuck sometimes. like if you have 'commentary' about how i interact with shit and answer asks, you can literally fuck off. i spend absurd amounts of time trying to be nice and provide specific bears and nice replies to people at their request. and then the one time i get slightly irritated people freak the fuck out and start lecturing me about being 'unprofessional' and 'rude' and 'obnoxious' like im sorry but fuck all the way off. this is fucking tumblr. nothing about tumblr is professional. i don't have to provide y'all with bears. i don't have to make a pinned post to explain myself. newsflash, i already have a pinned post that i'm rather fond of. i don't have to act or respond to things any kind of way. i choose to respond kindly with nice encouraging messages and provide bears, and spend ridiculous amounts of time looking up specific requested bears for people. i choose to do that because i want to make people happy and spread some positivity. i choose to do that because this world is shit as fuck sometimes and i want to create a little space free from drama and negativity where people can enjoy bears and get a little reprieve from this shit ass world and the bullshit of life. i choose to do all that because i want to. but heaven forbid i'm not in the mood 100% of the time to always be perfectly nice and happy and go-lucky. and then i get shits giving me crap over it like i'm somehow obligated to do all this shit for free and always respond exactly the way they desire me to. and it is pissing me the fuck off. because i genuinely put so much effort into bearotonin and trying to make other peoples' lives better in this one tiny small way. i have a life y'all. i have a job and school and an actual adult life with responsibilities. but i choose to do this because i love bears and i think bearotonin is hilarious and making people happy is something that makes me happy. but i don't owe anyone anything, and if you have complaints about the way i comport myself or respond to messages or posts i make, well you can fuck off. i don't want to hear it. you don't need to reblog my posts and tag them with little messages about how you disagree, or write replies/comments saying i should act better or should be expecting this, or send me stupid asks. you can literally keep your negative thoughts to yourself. because people need to fucking realize that your tags are not private. if you put them on a post, the op is going to see them. and in this case, the op is going to be super pissed off by them.

to be clear, 99% of people are awesome and super nice and i love y'all dearly (and this post is absolutely not about you in any way), but the other 1% are really getting on my fucking nerves right now and it is taking a lot of effort to not engage with them directly and tell them to fuck off to their faces

#so yeah i'm vague posting instead #whatever #sorry not sorry for the rant #but this bullshit lately is so insanely annoying #and i'm allowed to be annoyed over it #because i have crap going on in my real life #and i come on tumblr FOR FUN #so it should be fun #not full of pointless dumb drama #i don't care if you're angry or confused about why i say things. just keep it to yourself #i genuinely do not want to see it right now #maybe in like 2 weeks or whatever when i've calmed the fuck down i will engage but right now i'm pissed enough that #unless it's something entirely neutral or positive #i genuinely do not want to hear it #no constructive criticism or helpful suggestion shit #i'm not interested #these are my fucking blogs and if you don't like the way i run them then you can literally unfollow #simple as that #okay i'm done ranting now #sorry to all of y'all who are lovely and kind #you know this post is absolutely not about you at all #not bears #just a rant #bearotonin rants

i think a lot of people have never been in a truly desperate situation but think they have, and this causes them to pass really harsh judgment on people who made bad choices when either irrational or having no good choices to pick instead, and i really wish people could get some fucking self-perception and work on their compassion skills and not fucking do that as much anymore

#jack facts #people be banging on about empathy this empathy that #and like sure maybe people have a measurable capacity for it but i can tell you what #that sure as fuck don't mean any fucking one of them ever bothers to make use of it when it matters lol #and i mean on the other hand it's hard to conceptualize how you would feel going through something you've never experienced before #i just wish people would be AWARE of the fact they don't know! #or like that there's a difference between ''i can't afford anything but instant ramen'' and ''i can't get any food or water'' #or a difference between being freaked out by spiders and having clinical arachnophobia #or a difference between ''my loved one is sick and i'm really worried about them'' and ''my loved one is dying in front of me'' #etc etc etc etc etc #anyway the longer i live the more i'm convinced that empathy is a garbage concept #and actually a more reliable way to act with true compassion is through at least some capacity for relative objectivity #the ability to say ''i don't know how that feels and i cannot understand it through comparison'' and to be able AND WILLING #to take people's self reports on their feelings thought processes or lackthereof in good faith and with sympathy #and also the ability to acknowledge that doing a bad thing for good reasons does not negate the bad thing being bad #but also should and does change what consequences are appropriate and/or most effective #and also like............... things people do in desperation or other irrational states do not represent Who They Are As A Person #or what it's like to hang out with them in a day to day situation #another thing i keep getting more and more aware of is like. if y'all can't even handle an irrational or impulsive choice that does harm #done by an otherwise ''good'' person under short term desperate situations #that they then do their best to reduce the harm of after the situation is over #i can not even imagine how absolutely unforgiving you must be of anyone who has delusions #and i mean real delusions and real psychosis not the hyperbolic babytalk version lol #like i don't think most of you even know what the fuck a delusion even is the way you act about things as simple & straightforward as like #fear. hunger. pain. #absolutely fucking exhausting

love that at least 2 of my boy boy mutuals also use "mp" as a tag for their personal posts. just another evidence of my influential presence

Oh. Oh.

So this is what it means

To not be burnt out.

I left the office, and arrived

Home

With two pages scribbled on the metro

Of a comic I want to draw

A story I want

To tell

It's pouring out and I want to do it justice, I want

To do it well

And oh.

Oh.

This is what it means

To not be burnt out

Is to tell myself

I'll do it bad

I'll do it scared

And frustrated

And happy

I'll do it

Because I

Can.

I still have spoons.
