I am never ordering my special Fancy dates through a third party ever again 😑

#I have a specific date farm down in SoCal I LOVE to order from. dates are AMAZING #I ordered thru a third party and they are like ROCKS. I'm soaking them in boiling water rn trying to soften them #I've never had this happen when I order directly from the farm ughhhhhh #lessons learned I guess #erin explains it all

the new ride kamens character is jo, and he's... blood stark and night rogue? he's got the blood stark visor and color, but he's got bat wings which is definitely night rogue, not what i would've expected, i would've thought we'd get evol and kr rogue first as separate characters, but hey, dan kuroto and blood stark are some of my top faves of all time villains, so i'm not complaining

heck YES look at this steam-powered and yet somehow cyberpunky batman. he's awesome! 🦇 and honestly given that the popular guess for him was Night Rogue, I think it's pretty funny that he ended up being (mostly) the other Faust guy (I admit I usually associate him with the Evol form and...kind of forgot about Blood Stalk a little bit. :')

augh I am so BEHIND on drawing the Wisdom Thinks guys, hold on let me fix this

also I really hope they get way into the nitty-gritty of them running the lounge. nothing is funnier to me than Dramatic Action Superheroes having to take time out of their day to balance their business ledger and figure out the employee rotation for the week and stress about scheduling their upcoming food safety inspection. it's great.

#art #ride kamens #(sorry! the twst update kinda took over my brain a little whoops) #i'm still in shock about soun being zangetsu. i was SO convinced his shoulder-thing was gaim's big orange slice... #i mean i guess the melonman isn't THAT far off but it still kinda rocked me #i should have learned my lesson by now about thinking i know who anyone's going to be #my hubris! #anyway so wisdom thinks huh #(eyes the character profiles) you know they haven't said the words 'host club' but...do you think... #i mean probably not. but DO YOU THINK... #woooo only one boy left to be revealed! #who's it gonna be who's it gonna be

forgive me if you've been asked this before or if its annoying, but how did you learn to use colored pencils like that? your art is so special to me.

ty :) I took an art class for a few years where our teacher had us buy prismacolor pencils as one of the art supplies and had us use them kinda like paints, pressing down hard right away and blending the colors together. its not how youre supposed to use them she was just trying to teach us to use color and ig this was more to the point. I picked them up again years after i stopped going to that class just bc they were there and i wanted to play around w them a bit and ended up actually enjoying it when doing it on my own terms lol

#it was a weird class #it was just this russian lady doing private lessons in her house that my mom learned about somehow #I did NOT like those classes all we did was still life and they were hours long which is esp rough when im in high school and busy #and she wanted us to stand while working the whole time bc tradition i guess? #she did allow me to work sitting but thought i was lazy for it. idk dude i dont want to exhaust myself fast for no reason #standing is a lot more tiring than walking #i def did still benefit from those classes just from learning to accurately draw from life #did not like the teacher tho #on one hand shed paid for the art supplies for kids whos families were too poor to (and these are nice expensive supplies) #which is very nice #but on the other she was very homophobic and open about it #like when they legalized gay marriage she went on a rant about how horrible it is that they can adopt kids now #and also kind of racist #she was telling me how she got blocked from a facebook group bc she made a post asking if she could speak to a white person #and she didnt realize she was posting that publicly she thought it was a private message to the group owner #im honestly still not sure i heard/understood her correctly bc it was so bizzare and the only time i ever remember her being racist #she talked abt it like she genuienly was unaware it was racist #she described it as a misunderstanding bc she accidentally posted it publicly instead of privately #like it wouldnt have been racist to ask that at all #also one time she talked about how she saw demons in her home once #also she doesnt vaccinate her kids bc of microchips #she was like a walking russian stereotype lol #anyway heres some ink the artist lore

Y’know. Anakin was a real asshole in Ahsoka’s hallucination.

Like. She mentions something about what she’ll be able to teach her padawan one day, since all she’s being taught is how to be a soldier, and Anakin’s like “teaching’s not all it’s cracked up to be”

And like. Asshole move. And Ahsoka rightfully calls him out on it. And he goes on the whole “uuuh I was joking. Lighten up.” Literally a complete jackass.

But beyond how he answered the question, it’s a valid complaint Ahsoka is bringing up! Anakin’s teaching her how to live or die. But Ahsoka wants to be taught how to be a jedi.

What happens after the war is over (order 66 never happens) and she now has to navigate a galaxy without a war? The Jedi take teaching very seriously there’s no greater honor than teaching a padawan. And she’s not being accurately taught, so she will not be able to pass anything on to the next generation.

But Anakin brushes it aside because he simply does not respect her or her wishes. Like. He never wanted a padawan, despite teaching being foundational to the Jedi. And he only took ahsoka in because he started to like her and became attached to her. He doesn’t care about jedi legacy, not really. So he brushes her comment off with a joke.

But in the rest of the vision… idk it didn’t feel like we were supposed view Anakin as entirely wrong here. He wasn’t in the right, he was definitely channeling Vader and being an ass, but he was basically the reason Ahsoka survived the fall, right? Bc he was making her choose life? When Ahsoka wins against him it’s sort of like she’s both learned his lesson and moved beyond him. And then for the rest of the season he’s only talked about in positive ways.

And like. That one line ahsoka said was really powerful in relation to the entire point of the show. What does she have to pass onto her own padawan (Sabine) if she wasn’t properly trained herself? That is, perhaps, the only valid plot question asked in the entire show. And it doesn’t get an answer. It’s never even brought up again.

#I have now learned Dave filoni wrote the entire series #so I am able to say now with absolute positivity that he’s a shit writer #I had been blaming the issues that the writers went on strike for #but no it’s just filoni being a terrible writer I guess? #I mean. none of the character issues are ever really resolved #we have no reason to believe ahsoka is ready to be a master now #we have no real understanding of WHY Sabine unlocked her force powers and shit (not how it works but whatever) #Sabine never learns her lesson about letting thrawn come back #Ahsoka doesn’t get anything really resolved with Anakin #she just acts like he was never Vader and that he was a great master #when we SEE in her vision he was not #idk it’s like every character plot point was dropped #nothing happened in the first half of the show #the dark side girl had a half rebellion but we got no emotion or background from her #it was just… a pointless show #nothing was accomplished #star wars #anti ahsoka #anti anakin skywalker

I know I'm probably bad for saying this, but man it's kinda hilarious how Fernando's been brake-testing people since literally the beginning of his career and seems to never have stopped to think "hm maybe I should stop." I guess his 2003 tactic of saying "that's where I needed to break!" didn't work out ;;;

#i agree yeah it was dangerous #but also like during brazil 23 wasnt he doing it to a lesser extent #taking a corner differently to throw off the other person #peepaw just went too far this time ah #lmao i saw someone say THESE POST RACE PENALTIES DO NOTHING #bruh what do you want it was literally the end of the race #do you want the stewards to spank him in front of everyone or smth? #i guess you could apply a future penalty to serve but ah lesson learned #fernando alonso

I think it's so funny that people treat Arya like she has no self-control because she *checks notes* stood up to Joffrey and defended her friend from being attacked

#arya stark #asoiaf #that's literally the only evidence people have to /prove/ that Arya wouldn't have been able to survive in KL 😭 #and then the same people call Sansa a queen for thinking about pushing Joffrey over the edge the obvious bias is so funny #people treating Arya like she's the dumb and reckless counterpart is soooooo forced cause there's literally no evidence #even her defending Mycah isn't impulsive...she has a whole internal monologue about thinking her father or his men would've defended him to #because it was the right thing to do but I guess no other character is allowed to be naive and learn a lesson #anyways saying this just makes you look stupid cause Arya's entire arc and survival hinges on her keeping calm in tense situations

Shading and perspective test done with 4th anniversary Amane! Couldn’t get over the floor flowers but I absolutely loved the symbolism it implied so I had to draw something based off it.

#milgram #milgram fanart #amane momose #My art #this actually took a lot quicker than I expected #<-quicker meaning literally 10 hours #But yeah I guess I’ve been good at drawing flowers and plants so maybe I should do more of rhat #I tried to make the flowers on the wall more abstract so I wouldn’t take forever drawing them #I’ve learned my lesson to not draw every single detail otherwise I’ll take forever #And trying out new types of shading is fun too #Also somehow I accidentally did the danganronpa splash art shading for this drawing (especially the bouquet) #And I really need to make my splash art for my fangan so this is making me more confident in that #tw eye contact

so I wanted to practice doing a lil poetry, and guess what I did....of course I based it off two silly lego characters from the silly lego pajama men show, what else bro

I hc that arin writes poems, so this was an oppurtunity lmao. I had this idea in my mind for a while but it was only now when I decided to actually do it, and I am honestly pretty proud of how it turned out!

so yeah, Ig this is a poem he wrote for sora! augdhsjsjs your honor their friendship makes me INSANE....(currently sobbing over what's probably gonna happen 👍)

this was some real great practice tbh, click to see the text better btww

#also disclaimer I am not a master of poetry and I just tried my best w/ whatever 😭 this is my first ever real poem chat.... #used knowledge from the poetry I learned in arabic lessons so I hope this makes sense and isn't wonky (and cheesy in a way 😭) #ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #ninjago arin #ninjago sora #poetry #poem #shoot uhh which one of my tags do I tag this as #levi's art #my art #I guess?

Fawcette citizens would thrive in Gotham but but gothamites would go insane in Fawcette

Does this make sense?

#Fawcett citizens would love the fact it’s always dark and cloudy bc their hero literally appears after thunderstorms #plus depending on the Gotham their old timey clothes would blend right in with Gotham plus the human eating gator men in the city mean #they don’t even blink over killer croc #depending on the Fawcett herkimer might already be reformed so they might treat killer croc like just another guy #gothamites would hiss at the sunlight and Gotham crooks are in no way prepared for Captain Marvel treating them like chew toys #Billy PLAYS with his food and some iterations have no issue straight up killing criminals #the funniest thing to me is Black Adam dying right in front of Billy and hes just like ‘ooh bummer well I guess I learned a valuable lesson’ #billy batson #Batman #captain marval #Shazam

Tbh the whole 'bloodclan bans families and hates Cat God' thing really reminds me of the anti communist bullshit I was fed in highschool history class.

Every day I count my lucky stars that I got educated in a well-funded school in a blue state. My teachers were shockingly good in hindsight, I didn't get half of the same propaganda some of my friends in other states got.

#One of the coolest things that we did in my high school history class was #My teacher actually taught us the dawn of the soviet union and the rise of stalinism #AND THEN pulled out a book they had to read in their college course! #Which taught the SAME story from the other side. Exactly as a teenager in the soviet union would learn the story #It blew my third eye RIGHT open #And I think it became downright formative because I've never been able to look at the concept of history lessons the same way #Both the American story and the Soviet story framed their home nations as the righteous entity #And I guess the narrative concept of 'framing' had never felt SO REAL before #Same events just described differently... how much can change from wording #And later that year when I learned about the american whiskey rebellion I thought of a farmer uprising in the soviet union #Yknow. Thinking about it. I wonder if this at all contributed to why I made the Educator role... #Tomorrow's history is today's politics lads. Don't forget that. #And they will laminate the shit and the mud along with the truth. #Bone babble

Yeah okay even in modern/human au the daughters are sensitive to the cold but they don’t die from it like in canon but they do get sick easily if they’re not dressed warmly.

It’s always one falling sick soon after messing around with the cold outside especially Cass and Dani because they think they don’t need to dress warmly and Cass even wear short skirts/ dresses thinking she can survive the snow outside but barely twenty four hours later she’s in bed nursing an upset stomach or dealing with a cold because she thought she’s stronger.

Alcina tried not to be that mom, but she can’t because a) she’s totally that mom and b) she needs to check what her daughters are wearing before they go out (and force them to change if they’re exposing a lot of skin for no reason). But this only works when she’s at home because when she’s out her youngest two daughters think that rules don’t apply and they neglect dressing appropriately and it’s always always them coming to her room in the middle of the night complaining that they’re not feeling well.

After a lecture including a lot of ‘I told you so’ mama goes on to take care of the sick daughter until she’s all better in a few days (sometimes longer depending on how long they plan on milking mama’s love and care)

#house dimitrescu #resident evil village #cassandra dimitrescu #daniela dimitrescu #resident evil 8 #bela dimitrescu #re8 #alcina dimitrescu #headcanon #Cass is always like ‘it’s cold but nothing I can’t tolerate’ and ends up sick for the next three days because that gust of cold wind is not #kind on her frail body #yes she can get used to the cold but her genes are like nope nope nope we’re not doing this #does she learn? #she always thinks next time this is not going to happen #and guess what happens every time? #dani is the same but she kinda sorta learns her lesson for a while before her memory fades and she gets reckless with the cold #bela is different because she knows what happens when she isn’t dressed appropriately and she wouldn’t ever miss the chance to tell her #sisters that they fucked up and none of this misery would happen to them if they only listened (to her)

Ideal anime Dedede would have been a "I mean yeah I bully the kid but I don't want him DEAD." And they'd actually keep that trait consistent.

#batty babbles #IM LOOKING AT YOU DEDEDE REVERTING TO A JACKAMULE AFTER THE METOR ARC AND THE FAKE DEATH EPISODE #petty dedede is fine just hate he learned his lesson more than once but because it was episodic they removed any character development #“i attempt murder on a child daily” dedede should have been out of the question long before the anime was written #kirby 64 was in development at the time and he was literally only the antagonist once prior in kirby's literal first game. #dark matter and nightmare were right there to be “out to kill kirby” antagonists #oh sure meta knight is forgiven from his ACTUAL attempt to kill kirby in superstar- #-but dedede is still out for blood despite not being a dedicated bad guy in years #mini rant i guess #I love how boisterous he is but he was just such a huge ass and it didn't represent is at the time character well
