NOBODY is allowed to be happy and EVERYONE is doomed

#alnst #alien stage #ivantill #mizisua #this is also random but i associate mizisua with water and ivantill with fire. #and ivantill is fire in the way of meteors and the burn of fists against skin #the blazing star of a rebellious boy and the glow that reflects off of mesmerized black eyes #the red pupil within an expanse of black. light brought to a black hole. reverse supernova. something out of nothing #mizisua is water in the way mizi speaks of the ocean. the bubbly quality of her voice #the wide expanse of blue that stretches before them as sua sings and mizi watches from afar #the cold waters that they played in as children #the natural calming and easy flow of currents #the bright sky above them that paints the waters blue and by extension their memories as well #just like the blue stage lights that painted sua before her death #the flowing of tears onto her lifeless body #memories of bright blue stained with red #(i also associate mizi with water and jellyfish in general lol) #sorry that shit was so random

i know that disney is too big to boycott effectively but that shouldn't translate to "and so we should keep buying their products like normal" but rather "at the very least we should try"

#i know they have their fingers in a lot of pies but #i've just been thinking #bc i don't watch star wars or sports or marvel and i don't rlly watch tv/cable anymore #and i haven't bought a disney product or gone to the theme parks #and as far as i know disney doesn't facilitate a necessity that can't be circumvented #and at the VERY‚ very least‚ we're supposed to pressure them #the way i personally interpret that is 'avoid directly supporting them as much as you can' #bc i'm aware that you could accidently support them by proxy by buying something they've invested in #which is why we're supposed to PRESSURE rather than BOYCOTT #but i just also want to see disney downfall in my lifetime but that's neither here nor there #idk man #i was so excited to hear abt the book of bill but I don't think i could stomach #directly supporting the company that pledged $2million to the occupation project #free palestine #and don't forget that you can still sail the seven seas (or just go buy old dvds! I need to build a collection) #lol it's easy to boycott if you're broke !

Hmmm just gonna spit this headcanon out in text post form since A. I don't think I could exposit it well enough in image form and B. It's not actually textually/thematically substantiated and I don't like actually staking my stuff on just vibes alone*

But anyway. I'd say it's pretty evident that all the islanders forgot their names, right? King obviously. Because why the hell else would he do that, but also Siffrin No Middle Names No Last Name.

They're 'pretty sure' they've 'always' been 'Just Siffrin' 'as long as they can remember'. It's a pretty cruel twist of the knife to say that they don't even get to keep their birth name as a memento, which is why I'm saying as such.

My utterly unsubstantiated claim is I think it'd be cute to say that Sisyphus *is* the name Siffrin initially picked, assuming the myth of King Sisyphus is recontextualised as idk, just a play or something in the setting. But I like the idea of Siffrin going 'oh shit 🫵 he's just like me fr' at a tortured fictional character long before the irony kicks in.

As for how Sisyphus -> Siffrin. I think that chronic mumbler and emotional doormat Sif just did not correct people who misheard the name during their time travelling, and went through enough places with incompatible phonologies (pronounceable sounds in the language) without ever really writing it down that it just got kinda. Changed until it was unrecognisable, and Siffrin just went with it until the earlier pronunciations slipped out of their swiss-cheese brain. And they just kinda don't remember any of that.

Also, something something the horrid realisation that Siffrin also named themselves after a King. Just not as blatantly.

*(though I think there's something here about Siffrin, a guy from a belief system that seems to thoroughly disincentivise autonomy and self-motivated choice continuously having their hand forced to make changes/choices they don't want but have no choice but to... It's not solid enough to really back this up tbh, but it informs it.)

Anyway.

#theres also something one of my french-speaker friends said about siffrin's official pronounciation being the feminine way to pronounce -in? #which i dont know enough about to really corroborate and theyre busyyyy and havent started the game yet so i cant really ask #im sure someone else has already voiced this easy-to-come-up-with headcanon anyway but just in case nobody has i decided to post it #isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time #isat siffrin #isat loop #i also personally picture sif (and loop especially) being more hostile to the concept of changing themselves after The Encounter #both of them being big grudge-holders and that 'want' to control your own destiny being clearly against how they interpret the universe #as for whether they should be so hostile? probably not! but they appear to be anxious in fear of some kind of divine retribution should #they like. ever even dare to Want. and uh. well. that certainly went well for Loop. not sure they'd be gung-ho to do it again #so Loop being able to go 'oh well it wasn't my REAL name' as a salve for having to make a new identity AGAIN.... #while sif is explicitly clinging to it as an anchor for Who They Are If Nothing Else.. they can upset each other and also mirabelle i think #lucabytetalks

#to no one's surprise the body-sharing eldrich horror buddy comedy is right up my alley #this one's been on my 'to listen' list for a long while but the stars finally aligned to make it happen #okay time to figure out how to tag this uhhh #malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe #i will probably change how i draw arthur a Lot as this goes on lol but enjoy these early drafts #unlike him I had a good idea how I wanted to draw john from the get-go #though the scrawling chaotic scribbles are actually a bit tedious to do in cleaner art #the pencil comic at the end is about the easiest way to do it he's just a bit more formless there #which is only really confusing when I also want to draw the hand like in the first shitpost #if i draw anything for s2 i'll update him a wee bit though probably pretty easy to guess what #i'll be playin with it i'm sure #idfk what tags people use for these i'm not allowed to search the tag till i'm caught up #so for now these'll work! #shorthand i'll probs just use #mp #pretty sure i haven't used that before #probably #my art #doodles #comic

#mine #dr stone #drst #sengen #senku #gen #hyoga #senku is that motherfucker who cant say i love you back. but he finds other ways #i spent too long thinking about who should be the third guy here #i felt like a lot of characters could potentially play that role in certain circumstances but it still didnt really fit them #i made a first draft where the third guy was kohaku bc its super easy to find an angry screencap of her #but then got so offended at myself for making that bc she is NOT like that she loves love #then i thought it would be funny if it was ukyo but its impossible to find an angry pic of him #then i looked back at the original image and saw it was darth vader and was like. #oh yeah no duh i should be using hyoga GSHSBSFNA #anyway if anyone here knows about..... sigh. lego star wars i guess #id love some help to find the source of this bc it would be funny as a video too gdhgfj #anyway i love the 5th panel. how chewbacca is just there

[starkcontrasts]

obi-wan kenobi is stronger than me bc if i was "two halves of a single warrior, closer than friends, closer than brothers, knew each other more intimately than lovers" with a 6ft moody twunk i wouldn't walk away from him twice i'd simply dom him into stability

#does this count as kenobi spoilers? i'm counting it as kenobi spoilers #kenobi spoilers #kenobi series #owk series #obi-wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #darth vader #star wars #sw #obikin #vaderwan #obikins let your flag fly these two are way too intense to be condensed into one label platonic or otherwise #this post is just as much me thumbsupping the obikin girlies(gender neutral) from a distance #as my asexual ass saying i would dom the shit out of anakin skywalker if given the opportunity #he makes it too easy and also he's Very Pretty #how do they say it? face card never declines #yes even under the suit #it's all in the eyes

a PSA about the chatlog iterators and how you can use them in fanon content

#rain world #rainworld #rw downpour #rain world downpour #rainworld downpour #rainworld iterator #chatlog iterators #epoch of clouds #wandering omen #pleading intellect #secluded instinct #gazing stars #faeling draws #have gotten a lot of questions about my chatlog iterators. i figured it was time to sit down and make an easy referenceable post #eoc and wo are my lesbian babies and theyve been that way since i made them #many of the chatlogs have been changed over time by the other writers but WO and EOC's original logs were more reflective of how i see them #honestly DP is noncanon to them as OCs because of the fact the logs were changed by other writers lol #so much of the logs were edited over the years that none of the iterators are super reflective of how i first wrote them #plus some new logs were written in the time i was not working on MSC which used the iterators #anyway i never clicked quite as hard with the others #i am okay with them being used pretty freely #their designs on the wiki are just remakes of the designs i made for an applebread stream in 2018 #i'll definitely art dump all my EOC and WO brainrot on this tumblr later

This is going to do bad things to me…

#give me the strength to not spend 130$ each for these rn when I have a few hundo at most to my name which I need for food and bills n life #like god fuck oh my god I’m so easy to pander to #the way the call the fem Spock ‘Vulcan science officer’ or something like #lmao for real #star trek #spock #uhura

[tennessoui]

oh ho ho au where there’s been a brutal murder and all signs point towards anakin being guilty….but during the trial prep work, obi-wan, not on trial at all btw, confesses to the murder.

the prosecution knows he didn’t do it, but his dna is at the scene, there’s security photos of him close by the murder scene, there’s enough circumstantial evidence that it makes it incredibly hard to prove that he didn’t do it. there’s a ton of evidence to prove that anakin did it, but there’s also not a small amount of evidence that obi-wan did it which makes it really difficult

(anakin definitely definitely did it. but obi-wan feels an incredible amount of both guilt for the loss of life at the hands of a boy who he has vouched for so ardently in the past and also a fervent and insane devotion to anakin, and he can’t let him suffer for his crime when obi-wan could suffer for his crime instead <3 that’s the way things should be)

(anakin would snap out of his stunned stupor and tell the judge and jury that obi-wan is innocent and he’s the actual murderer, but like. it’s really hot. it’s like really hot that obi-wan’s going to give his freedom away so that anakin can live untroubled. no one’s ever loved him so much, not even the devoted wife of his sitting in the audience. this is different. this is everything. this is like. breathtaking.)

#Kit’s silly lil AUs #obikin #im imagining this in a gffa setting #the chancellor has been killed by anakin #but way before anyone thinks the chancellor is a bad guy #or corrupt #so it’s like a crime crime #and obi-wan is like no that’s my padawan if he learned how to (checks notes) brutalize a persons skull with a paper weight then #I taught him that #so he confesses and uses their training bond to pull all the details and story from anakins mind #without anyone knowing #anyway of course obi-wan is sentenced and anakin breaks him out and they go live amongst the stars #as fugitives #and it’s pretty easy to convince obi-wan into bed with anakin when they’re both fugitives #like he already gave his freedom up for his padawan #what’s his body compared to that? #what’s his heart?

I vote for Argenti! I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you ! I do feel much better (though I admit I hurt a little for very much my fault reasons but it's mostly manageable through light pain meds).

Take an Argenti o7 I got lazy and didn't draw the roses I was gonna draw to the left so there is now a wide open blank spot.

#honkai star rail #argenti #i managed one of the things i owe and this isnt it but here take a doodle #im a ding dong who told someone oh no its starting to pour i should draw someone quick #and then proceeded to draw him way past the rain .... so that.... was a thing #i mean luckily we didnt lose power but still #ALSO OMG THE REASONS I AM AT FAULT FOR ISSSSSSSSS #we have obtained as of yesterday a mama cat and a lil baby boy #and so i heard him mewing under the bed and like a FOOL rolled over on my side with the recovering incisions #to check on him and hoo boy that was indeed a mistake #but lil guy was okay just wanted attention #im so pleased to announce he loves me most teehee #my dad has repeatedly told me idk where he is i hope he isnt stuck #and then i simply exist upstairs and then he bounds out from his hiding spot and lets me pet him and pick him up #truly a good lil bean he is so baby i - with v tiny hands - can hold him in one hand without any problems #none of this has to do with the art i apologize #but ty for the request uhhhh over a week ago ! i do still have them in my inbox and when i can manage i try to look over em #and try to consider one but then i sometimes just do not have energy and wanna do something easy and fast
