#i'm with edmond on this one you guys are too easy #love how eiden's just like KUYA! NO! BAD KUYA! PUT THEM DOWN. DROP THEM....... #and the two softies are immediately swayed like oh 😊 i like him! 😊 #and edmond's giving the megasuper side eye to both of them bc we were just about to kill each other 4 seconds ago. #this demon is a menace. he's brought the entire nobility to a standstill. our nation is in shambles. we have to destroy him #and your excuse is #awwww shucks. but he seems NICE? #healers (man.) too forgiving for their own good (what am i even doing here.) #is yakumo a healer in this world? i'm gonna pretend he can be #like oli's the main healer and yakumo can supplement #oli is the one driving the motorcycle and yakumo is in the lil sidecar :) #journey to a nu world #eiden #olivine #edmond #yakumo

OK

so, I'm really really sorry to anyone who's sent me an ask that has gone unanswered.

I have like, 17 asks in my inbox and some of them were art requests (and good ones), some of them were comments about Snoots that I wanted to draw doodles for, and some of them were just messages, but I've been avoiding my inbox because of some unknown reason and now it's stressing me ouuuttt😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Some of these askes span back to OCTOBER. 2023. AAAHHH

SO. I'm going to keep some of the art requests on my own little to-do list, but for my sanity's sake, I need to clear out my inbox.

Idk why this is stressing me out so much, but I've had like, inbox paralysis for months and then I feel guilty for posting things when I have 17 unanswered asks and then I avoid it more and then as soon as I answer one I get another and AHHH.

now LISTEN. I LOVE ASKS. it's just my time of the month so I'm acting super extra and now I have to DELETE FOR MY SANITY.

Feel free to still send me asks, I just need a clean slate.

ANYWAYS I LOVE YOU ALL❤️❤️❤️ GOODBYE IM GOING TO DRAW LEGEND WHUMP FOR THE NEXT WEEK STRAIGHT HEHE

#ive been debating clearing my inbox for a while #but then I feel sooo guilty #because people cared enough to send me asks! #and its so sweet and I love them #but y'know how you'll see a text but then you don't respond right away #and then days pass #and you know you still haven't answered #so you try to think of an excuse to give #but then you forget to give your excuse in a timely manner #and then it becomes so late that you just can't answer anymore #like #even if you finally answer the text #its too late #so now it just sits in your text history #to mock you #its that #my Tumblr inbox is mocking me #and this is my ✨easy out✨ #acknowledging that I am trash at responding #and starting over #because I can #tell me this whole rant doesn't scream conflict avoidant lol #i dare you haha #AH #ive literally stared at this post for 10 minutes because I feel so guilty

i think the fact that kim is like "you can only ask about 1 (one) cryptid and thats it" and when you ask about another hes like "hey you promised it was only one" but just as you tell him "dont you wanna know more tho?" hes like "... fuck it yeah i do" really says a lot about him tbh

#my posts #disco elysium #like! he pretends hes not interested but come on this guy likes sci-fy of course hes at least interested in what kind of cryptids there are #also it shows hes not above just having a bit of fun himself even on the job if hes pushed in the right direction #and that at least its very easy for harry to give him that push depending on what theyre doing!!!!!!! #like he wouldnt do it by himself clearly but harry is the perfect excuse!!!!! #i love them so much also i love how this became harrykim in my tags lmao anyways!!!!

Anyway, if you aren’t Black don’t use any variation of woke. I don’t care what conservatives are calling fuckers/using as the new sjw/political correctness/what have you.

If you know what fuckers mean use what they mean, and if you don’t why are you copying what people are saying?

Woke ain’t for you. If the discussion isn’t about Black people being aware of and/or educating other Black people about racism/antiblackness/structural inequality/all the other bullshit then it doesn’t need to be used in the discussion.

i love it when my mom gets mad at me for trying to tell her that I don't appreciate her basing her idea of MY autism off of stuff she looks up on the internet...literally just told her to ask me if she has a question and she got pissed lol. she got mad cuz he says I 'never let her talk to me about it'

uh, maybe it's because you try to tell me what my autism SHOULD be and make me feel like a freak of nature :) i honestly just give up and let her think what she wants. she's never going to listen to me anyways. she's so fucking vain and she doesn't even realize it.

me: rants to my mom about how college is stressing me out and causing me to not do chores cuz im more worried about my grades

my mom: YOU DIDN'T DO ANY CHORES TODAY!

me who just studied for 6 hours straight and had 2 panic attacks in one day:🧍‍♀️🔫

#autistic #im autistic #actually autistic #i love being told what my autism should look like #i love when my mom bases her opinion on me off of the internet #slowly losing it #me: gives an explanation about how my autism causes me to lose motivation to do simple basic tasks even if they are easy #my mom: sounds like an excuse :) #my dog knows more about my autism than my own mother lol

Octokuber, day 6 - Kaiju

(pulls up a chair) This is a Final Wars propaganda post.

It is 125 minutes of pure nonsense. It is a cinematic boss rush. It is wrestling if all the matches were marinated in nuclear waste and fed to aliens. They bought the rights to Zilla just to wreck him to kingdom come. Actually, Godzilla bodies all the kaiju in this movie so hard that they're never seen again. The chicken guy I loved enough to draw and put here? He's there for like five minutes and he gets blown up. The soundtrack is unironically great. Take everything left from me. All. To. Blame.

#tokusatsu #octokuber 2023 #godzilla #gojira #godzilla final wars #gigan #i think i went crazy drawing this #getting the forms down was easy enough but the texturing? dude #like i just got home from a long day ive had a little too much caffeine and im supposed to draw fanart for this crazy shit movie #i forgot how perspective in coloring works i cant do this anymore #gigan please come back i miss you #i coulda drawn kamata-kun for this day and give myself an excuse to rewatch shin godzilla #but no. shin is a great movie. final wars is perfect #i remember hearing someone say its the g gundam of godzilla and yeah it tracks

I know that peach game is like. For kids. Im SO aware of it. But its. So fucking cheap???? This is like the bloatware of nintendo games. What is going on here ???? Not to give nintendo even an ounce of credit…but they generally treat their main characters better than this. And especially after seeing mario wonder, its really obvious how poorly put together and boring this game is. Which is such a shame. Bc Super Princess Peach is right there. Go play that instead.

#chattin #i do NOT have the game; i havent bought a nintendo ip game in years (wonder was gifted to me) #i am watching my mom play it #this is a 60$ game………… #and its SO shoddy. no flair or glam or anything #the species they used for the staff is so bland #the font they used for alot of the reveals for her looks like block text they were supposed to replace w a better font #and peachs voice is SO stilted and like #not. nice to hear 😭 #its a kids game but like. all of nintendos games for mario n peach and yoshi are made for kids #so its a bit of a cop out to use that as an excuse #in general games are getting less and less polish #and companies are spitting about poorly optimized barely functioning games at a higher cost #this game is like. SO small and SO short #and theres STILL insane load times and frame stuttering. #for a game that is essentially a glorified hide and seek popup book. its bad. its BAD #gameplay is like bizarrely unintuitive despite being so easy. no checkpoints for u to personally utilize; its only there for incase u die #barely anything is explained. and its like that by design bc it forces u to replay stages for 100% #for missing a crucial mechanic they WONT explain to u until the middle of the level #its very. bad. its cute! you could give this to a little kid who really liked peach and theyd like it #but its disappointing bc theres LOTS of cute kids games that feel like Actual games for them #spreading my super princess peach agenda. that game was cute….

speaking of drawing people's faces and lifting any art of [will roland role based] characters overhead when you can tell the artist was actually trying to meaningfully use that inspiration beyond "brown hair. glasses" like wow once in a lifetime unsame as it ever was

not coming up a lot that Professional Illustrators are drawing will roland as [role] or like, in general, but that in fact there Are the examples of professional illustrator justin "squigs" robertson drawing him several times and it's like, doing stylized portraits of people working in theatre that are indeed focusing on distinguishable individuals versus, say, the style being more abstracted

all drawn differently but various gists are there, and none of the people in these group collages look interchangeable or like oh and this person gets thee "generic/default" look

there's also the fact i'm like 99% sure there's a squigs-drawn larger portrait of will roland just as himself that i love to think of / sure further encapsulates that "thank god this artist drawing Features" but i can't find it or remember exactly what context it was in. augh

but also there's this other deh illustration ft. wrol jared i found lol. bonus

#sooo replenishing #and like the issue pointed out that the excuse of [skill issue] is offered like It's Really Not A Skill Issue #someone can be very inexperienced at say; drawing; and still Evidently be actually trying to capture something Actually There in whatever #their model is. me as a like 5 yr old on the level of [yes all faces Are abstracted as =) ] still for example clearly depicting my mom's #usual hairstyle in my crayon portraits there #these examples here the polar opposites of The Nose Issue lol like stylized simplified And Yet still all clearly downturned #even the stylization leaning more convex nose bridge than that concave upturned nose slapped on anyone's face #deh #will roland #bmc #and forever the idea that Stylized Simplified drawing techniques are easy / bad but like it sure af is neither #you can note 'ah i see that this experienced artist's drawings are not photorealistic; formed of what i can tell are simple lil lines even' #but then be thrown off b/c of course it Looks easy but their lines are afforded a Casualness in their execution from their experience #knowing how to form and place them to give it that [Looks Good] without it being a painstaking &/or [9000 tries & errors] process for them #and like sure then anyone can Recreate it but you can throw yourself off thinking you Ought to be able to straightup Create It similarly... #like copying these obviously simplified stylized Faces made up of varying Shapes as seen here? prob a fun & neat & helpful exercise #especially if one's just working on breaking out of the ''i draw a Default Face for Everyone'' kind of situation #the exaggerated swoops and hard angles Geometry of compositions and forms overall is also a v fun element used here

[tasmanianstripes]

Are you ever tired of the fact that in gaming/fandom spaces when a character uses he/him or she/her it's taken as a fact but when they use they/them it's used as a suggestion?

#thylacines can talk #Y'all remember when people said Frisk Undertale was supposed to be a self-insert character as if that DIDNT LITERALLY GO AGAINST THE WHOLE #FUCKING POINT OF THE GAME? It's like they actively chose to ignore the entire point that Frisk was supposed to be their own character #Because I guess being normal about pronouns was too hard #People love to ignore nuances and plot points in games if it means they get to have an easy excuse to be transphobic #Legitimately saw somebody say The Knight and The Hollow Knight from HK didn't have personalities to say people who relate to them are #stupid and desperate and I Will Fucking Beat You With A Stick. #Not only is the knight having a personality become obvious as you play but the entire God damn plot happened because THK WASNT an empty #husk devoid of personality. Not only is it ignoring THE MAIN FUCKING PLOT OF THE GAME but also it makes the game feel...worse #Them being alive gives it a BITE. The knight not being hollow makes two of the endings that much more tragic because ultimately their #sacrifice would be for nothing. But I guess fuck having an actually compelling story and characters #Just a complete delusional behaviour for the sake of being argumentative. At this point I feel like they don't even believe it and are #just playing the devils advocate because there's NO WAY somebody played/watched this game and came out of it thinking the vessels were #indeed empty husks. Right? RIGHT?

[dumbbullet]

me to me: i'm so glad you're feeling creatively motivated but can you just do a normal inktober challenge please im begging you you dont have to do something big just draw your own characters it'll be fine.

the 8 min animatic that's been living in my head for a week: get me out of here or im gonna give you long term health conditions

#dumb babbles #anyway... i'm learning how the animation feature in CSP works #to be fair... have I not already made over 8 mins of animatic work? this should be easy right?... right? #its a little bit more... involved than my prev projects but im gonna give it a shot #i might ALSo draw my characters for inktober as like warmups that'd be fun i think #I'm using inktober as an excuse to trick my brain into deadline motivation

"please stop gatekeeping your content and blocking me"

fellas is it gatekeeping to want the bare minimum?

#like im sorry you're embarrassed that you read fic #but if you dont want anyone to know you have a fic blog #DONT. TELL. THEM. #it's so easy to be anonymous on here it's not even funny #stop interacting at all if you're just going to keep giving excuses #also people are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want #if it keeps happening maybe you're the problem

working to become less judgemental of others as a traumatized person is like, one of the most healing things i've ever done. i didn't even think it would help me too, i just wanted to contribute as little as possible to the misery in the world.

but no, i genuinely don't have to keep my eyes peeled for "red flags" 24/7 or worry that other people are a threat to me for no good reason. i don't have to constantly analyze other people's interests or behaviors to determine if they're "safe". and this relieves my stress by amounts i never thought possible.

i still know when to bail if a situation is actually unsafe to me, i just no longer have to live in constant meaningless terror

#.txt #twitter encouraged and amplified that kind of paranoid mindset #really really glad i left #it can be easy to feel like being traumatized gives you an excuse not to work on this. but i recommend doing it any way

[thahxa]

"finding your true self" and then shifting in response to that to become more "authentically you" seems fine actually? like isnt that what self-development about?

like determining exactly what you want to be (true self) and aligning your actuality into that way seems perfectly fine! thats how humans work!

#this is about the acx piece on therapy culture #i think the real reason ppl dont like it is because it gives ppl lots of words to excuse their actual current behavior #and ppl use it as an easy out in order to not do things they already dont wanna

the joys of writing something with a clear passage of time

#itsallmine #going through the motions fic #writers on tumblr #so fic update: Chapter 6 out of 7 is finished! #I've started the final chapter but thats going to be a ways off #i would like to start proofing chapter 3 sooner rather than later but I've been a bit busy with a family emergency #and having to travel bc of it #but chapter three will be soonish #im sorry thats the best timeline i can give atm #so just have this no spoilers line i had from my first pass of chapter six #me: oh scout drawing on his arm how many days it'll be! that's fun and cute and easy to remember #also me: WHAT DAY IS IT BOY #now if youll excuse me i need to figure out how many days have passed in fic #we stay silly gamers

so you're out here starting arguments, putting words in people's mouths, and then getting pissy when people disagree with you and you just give up and say "I'm not reading all that" when someone explains why they think you're wrong. Nice job, that's real mature. Also it’s not the same person fye. How do you even think he could be typing out that long response on his main blog while also typing out a long ask in your inbox at the same time? It doesn't make sense that he would be doing both at once.

homie it is 9am, go eat breakfast

#also the way this entire ask is incorrect 💀💀 #didn’t start any arguments nor did i put words in anyone’s mouth #and i’m actually the furthest from pissy #i was straight up laughing abt it w friends #bc it was so embarrassing for this random person on the internet to try and excuse harrassing other people … #and all for content that you can — like i said before — scroll past and ignore #not to mention?? derailing my initial post?? which wasn’t about tagging to begin with #oh oh oh and i didn’t give up anything! i just made the easy decision that this petty nonsensical argument wasn’t worth my time #and finally! you very much can write the lemgth of rb he did in the handful of minutes after sending that ask! #everyone types at different speeds my friend <3 #anyways i’m gonna go back to enjoying my morning! hopefully you’ll manage to do the same <3 #USER ID: guest ..! #cas has mail !!

idk who needs to hear this but growing native plants is not hard at all, at all

#you could be starting seeds RIGHT NOW assuming your last frost date is some time in april or somethin #put the seeds in the fridge in moist sand or a moist paper towel #if its too late buy them from the fuckin store somewhere. or wait till next fall and toss em on the ground after mild tilling #throw some metal mesh of some sort over it to protect it from the rodents and BOOM. there ya go. the seeds are cheap asf too #its hard to kill a native plant. they naturally grow in that environment for a reason. #you can go a day or two without watering sometimes in summer and still be fine (depending on the plant ofc & if theyre potted) #idk its just. like. so easy. everyone could do it. everyone SHOULD do it. #in an apartment? get a window flower pot and plant some in there. #no excuses to not try and do the bare minimum. every piece of turf grass you see should fill you with violent rage to the point where #your body feels physically compelled to grow native plants in retaliation. #some you can even grow inside. i have some vine cuttings im growing inside rn that i started some time last year at the end of summer #from a wild plant outside. just look up how to grow it. watch the jankiest video you can find first. #i trust the guy with the scuffed set up thats shakily holding his phone scooping home-made dirt into a red solo cup over the #pristinely filmed shots of a garden and a man all dressed up nice #i mean idk hes prolly got some good advice too i just trust the other guy more ykno #give a fuck #literally tho this vine is so tall rn its touching my ceiling sdvvfsdhgdfs idk wtf imma do with it. #but i love it and its one of my favorite native plants and i LITERALLY grew it in a fuckin red solo cup.
