#seriously what’s with the skeletons?

[timberlakefan96]

Something I love about Tumblr that you don’t really get on Reddit, is the brief flashes of fandoms I’m entirely unfamiliar with, like some large beast in the undergrowth.

Right now, it’s The Locked Tomb. Never even HEARD of it before coming here, but I see impressions of it everywhere. It’s like, teenagers wearing skeletons? Or something?

Do I dare seek it out? Will it wear MY skeleton?

thoughts on evan and pandora siblings real?

i think about them a normal amount yeah

#mb #in full seriousness. oh they are gothic doubles and the same person and a boygirl and share bodies and you can’t have one without the other #beautiful precocious undersocialized children raised in a big pureblood mansion alone with no one but each other #one is a mad scientist and the other is an unethical surgeon. they switch places every day #a #rosier twins #what if we laid so close our skeletons overlapped because we share the same soul. because you’re my twin brother. #t #evan meta tag

If Salem obliterated Vale, does that mean she has its relic?

#rwde #ozpin said it was better hidden than the rest and ive been so curious abt it ever since #bc he's got two options for accessing it: the fall maiden who killed him and is working for his genocidal ex or the missing summer maiden #(seriously oz why the absolute shit do you not have a skeleton key for these vaults) #this was like. THE reason i wanted the story to go back to Vale. i wanted so bad to see what 'better hidden' meant #ngl i was hoping for smth like it not being hidden in the conventional sense but rather chose its wielder for their qualities #mayhaps someone w a simple honest soul #but alas. vale is destroyed offscreen w only a single sentence to convey the horror and tragedy #since patch was close to Vale does that mean Tai is dead too? Raven was the last person to see him and he aint w her so... #dude's probably dead right? or did the writers forget he existed again? #either way fuck that epilogue. i cant believe im prefering the half episode exposition dump ending but it truly is the lesser of evils

SANS THE SKELETON??

#I stared at it for a whole minute before I realised what this outfit reminds me of #the flashbacks hit me #seriously am I the only one who saw it and thought of Sans #I haven't even thought abt Undertale in the last few years 😭 #or maybe im so sleep deprived im seeing things #holy shit he looks like those fanarts of humanised Sans #IS IT JUST ME?? #jjk #gojo satoru #jjk gojo #satoru gojo #jujustu kaisen #jujutsu kaisen season 2 #sans #sans undertale #sans the skeleton

We have so many Alberich clansmen straightup mentioned in gamefiles, 3/5 have been shown (Clothar, Caribert, and Kaeya as the only playable alberich) while the 2/5 (Antforas and Kaeya's bio father, unsure if 2 diff people yet) are mentioned, and then there's Pierro who might also be an Alberich just based on similarities with Kaeya's design.

that's a lot of notable Alberich clansmen with heavy lore impact right there. What did they feed this clan?

#kaeya #kaeya alberich #alberich clan #the alberich skeletons in the closet saga continues #Antforas prev. Knight Marshal then King Regent btw #We all know of Clothar and Caribert as well #Pierro look a bit too similarly designed with Kaeya #what if antforas and kaeyas dad is actually just 1 person #and of course kaeya the most famous alberich we have in current teyvat #no seriously its suspicious how we have 2 alberichs who led 2 different things #antforas and clothar being brothers question mark? #clothar reference lore would indicate that there should be 1 more brother....and what if the 3rd brother is Kaeyas dad lmao #me at every alberich clan mention: #genuinely thinking antforas clothar and kaeyas dad are the 3 alberich brothers now but hey watch me be so wrong #also whats up with the sudden boom of theories? is that just me seeing them everywhere now? i cant keep up #guess im sticking with the alberich clan for now

I was going to make a comment about how I’m not sure I can write a indie micro TTRPG for my dead Frenchmen interest (and I don’t even write that many anyway, I have two shitposts that made finalist in the 200 word competition somehow and a shitpost about skeleton katamari using domino tiles that I keep forgetting to publish every Halloween)

But

Ney and the marshals asking Napoleon to step down would be a banger concept for a micro ttrpg

One person plays the emperor, the others play as the marshals/commanders, it’s ritualised like Polaris with specific phrases that activate other phrases, there’s flashbacks to glorious battles and ruinous defeats

It wouldn’t be playable because I am not a ttrpg designer but it would be neat!

#cadmus rambles #cad talks about ttrpgs #cad rambles about dead Frenchmen on main #I’m not going to seriously work on this I’m just spitballing #I’d want to finish the polar exploration idea first anyway #I do want to run Bag of Bones one day it would be so fucked #you are a single bone and your aim is to become a full skeleton but you don’t know what that is #on account of not having a brain

March was a busy month! For one thing, I sat down and came up with my fursona. Keep in mind it is not at all based on any real species, this is pure 'I wanna swipe all the bat shapes that I think are fun'.

#fursona #bat #character design #furry #I guess technically yeah #I'm neutral on drawing animal people but I was asked what my fursona would be #and I've loosely felt that if I had to be a standard idea of a furry (aka more human then not) I would be a bat #if I was a 'more animal then human' furry then I'd be a cat #I haven't thought much of drawing furries largely bc I tend to put pressure on myself that no one else is #and for furries I felt I would need to know which exact animal I'm referencing and know my animal anatomy on top of human #and then seriously consider how the skeleton and musculature combination of both would look like #and none of that was up my ally #The friend who asked about my fursona kindly reminded me that a fursona could be for fun and not worry about all of that lol

I love putting my boy in situations

#seeker draws #⁂ gaster #seeker gaster #⁂ text posts #⁂ #⁂ memes #he’s so baby here #just a lil guy #he should be getting his doctorate not in the trenches #Technically this is sad but like the phrase is so ridiculous I can’t actually take this seriously #im sorry dings #youre my chewtoy #what’s more ironic to humans than a skeleton (symbol of death) who hates killing #ok im going to bed it’s after midnight

Dear ms llama,

How do draw?

How do learn draw?

Sincerely, the gayest mess who wishes to draw all the things

Dear Pizzarolls,

I'm sorry this sat in my ask box for two months, life has been very hectic and it slipped off my radar. D:

How do draw: get a pencil and paper, set your self critiques and harsh expectations to the side, and draw your favorite character or otp. It's intimidating still even for me, but just being in the moment and creating something that makes you happy is worth it.

How do learn draw:

draw. get used to the motions, problem solving, and repetitiveness. make sure you stretch and take care of your hands. also drawing with friends is very fun!

look for references and resources and tutorials! looking at what you want to draw will help you understand how to draw. wanna draw a skelly boi? look at lots of skeleton pictures. using a reference is not cheating, so dont let people tell you that. i would also suggest taking your own reference pictures if you can using yourself/your friends/or those little wooden bendy dudes you can get at the craft store. i didnt really use those but i have friends who swore by them. worth a try!

trace. yes, im saying this. tracing for the purpose of learning is not inherently bad. if looking at a picture of a skeleton and following a tutorial are just not clicking, print that sucker out and tape it to a window and trace him. focus on the part that you arent understanding and see if it clicks then. if it does then yay! you have successfully learned. now draw him again without tracing and see how you do!

***an addendum to tracing: i would suggest not tracing other people's artwork without asking first. a fair amount of artists are okay with you using their work as inspiration, though the topic of tracing has always been polarized. use caution and err on the side of screenshots and stock imagery!

draw for yourself. the lure of popularity and "clout" for notes and likes is really pervasive in a lot of online spaces now, and ive seen it destroy artists and fic writers. ive seen how it can negatively impact individuals to the point of hatred and jealousy and while it is extremely easy to want to get notes and recognition and we as humans thrive on feedback and community... draw for yourself. you will find your community and people who genuinely enjoy what you make. your worth is not measured by likes or algorithms.

On a more academic note some actual resources I and other artists do recommend are the Morpho books. I'm sorry for the am*zon link but that should give you an idea of what to look for. They're affordable, well illustrated, and cleanly put together. I would also look at those fun stock image packs of dynamic poses! Like the ones you find on deviant art. Those are super great for drawing your oc's and otps. I'm also a big advocate of live drawing, which i know isn't always available for some people. Drawing a Real Body right in front of you with an instructor is invaluable, but also asking to draw your friends sitting at the lunch table is just as good.

Um yeah. That how draw. And disco music. here's a skelly boi for your troubles

hes doing the marge simpson dance

sincerely a very tired and gay llama

#ask me stuff! #arting #im not here #reference #no but seriously take care of your body #you cant draw with a fucked up shoulder or wrist #also i forgot to add alt text to the image my bad #idk how to do it from an edit im sorry #its a silly skeleton doodle of him doing the marge simpson dance #theres a minecraft skeleton and creeper in the backgroun #like i will admit it is very difficult to practice what i say #but if i can instill better habits in others by example while untangling my own #then thats a win imo #OH YOU DO ALT TEXT ON THE APP #wtf tumblr thats so silly

transphobes: in the future archaeologists will know your skeleton is female

what are archaeologists doing with my skeleton?

oh no, this definitely affects me right now, having my skeleton misgendered definitely gets in the way of my happiness now

I really don’t care what people in the future think about my skeleton.

#transphobes #sarcasm #skeleton mention #in case anyone else has a fear of skeletons #skeletons have been misidentified before #and really #what exactly is their arguement supposed to do? #make us not transition? #as if something possibly happening in the distant future #when it won’t affect us during our life #is supposed to be a reason not to transition #I mean what even #but seriously #what if I decide to be cremated? #WHAT ARE ARCHAEOLOGISTS DOING WITH MY SKELETON #that isn’t even their department #that’s more anthropologists’ area

weird ass dream

I somehow had a dream where I was adopted by sans the skeleton and jesus in a McDonalds? Idk what the fuck happened but we had a casual life in a cottage in the mountains

it was actually a pretty nice house too, I remember there was a shed in the back that we converted into like, a little second hang out house kinda thing, we also had a lot of light posts around the place.

#one time i dreamt #weird dreams #weird #undertale #sans #sans the skeleton #jesus #what the fuck was that dream? #seriously it lasted like multiple years in that dream.

[shapeshiftershenaniganary]

God I love The End. The passive entities are always so fun to think abt.

#I've always been a fan of death themes that actually take the idea of death seriously #not a spooky scary skeleton come to collect your soul #(though that can be fun to play with too) #but the idea of Finality #All things come to an end and so will you #that doesn't have to be a threat if you don't want it to be #it's just a promise #Whatever you do in the time in between is your business #important or not #permanent or not #because everything goes eventually #so does it rly matter to matter? #Do what you will and what will come will come #So yeah I had a normal reaction to the first time Oliver Banks appeared in-statement. If you were wondering #If nobody got me #I know Oliver Banks Dr. Pritchard Antonio Blake got me

Will Doll break our hearts? ;m;

The short answer is no, not in the "he's going to break up with Mc and toss her aside" way. He's too selfish for that honestly.

Long answer is, the thing about Doll is he would've already done it by now if he was going to. Doll and Mc have known each other for nearly half a year. This is Doll's longest hookup, and that's a record for him. It's part of the reason Sheba was so surprised.

He's has a long string of flings with men and woman, humans and monster, that would've loved to stay by his side until the day they died. And not just for the money and fame of it, but because Doll is one smooth and sweettalking motherfucker.

He got bored of them and tossed them out. Mc wasn't wrong when she thought he's left a long string of broken hearts in his wake. He has, more than she thinks. Some of them were just after his money and fame, some in it just for the sex, yes. And yes there were a few who just wanted to try a Monster out. But not all of them.

Doll is a pretty good manipulator, especially in the emotional category. He's incredibly smart too. He knows how much to give and how much to take to keep a person right where he wants them, and he knows how to do through sex and their emotions. What Doll's doing with Mc, being the perfect gentleman and incredibly sweet, isn't how he normally is. He knows it's what Mc wants, and he knows he wants her in his bed, so that's what he's going to give her.

At this point, Doll's gotten attached. He's going to do whatever it takes to keep Mc his. Nothing he's doing is without a motive. Sheba is the exact same way. They all are.

And I'd also like to remind people of this picture.

It's important to the plot.

#mc's in some deep shit #even if it doesn't seem like it right now #seriously don't trust any of the mob skeletons #they're not what they seem #bad habits ask #rosey answers #anonymous

[tchaikovskym]

why does it seem like i was the only one who learned something at school, like i will talk with someone about, like, the great northern war or atomic numbers, or the difference between weight and mass etc, and they will stare at me like they're hearing it for the first time. we went through the same education system. darling. those are the basics darling. DARLING

#seriously yall just forgot? #like yeah i forgot most things #but the skeleton of it all stayed #like i couldnt tell the year of the great northern war but i do have a vague idea of what and where went on #i do not know how to calculate the energy released in a chemical equation but at least i know what it means #i dont know most physical formulas but i have a basic grasp on how things work #like. hello? #why dont you even have the slightest clue?
