ugh i kind of want to do my diss about music + trance states possibly gender mediation through trance states or something like that but ritual and trance have been a hot topic in ethnomusicology for ages so I doubt itd be very original whereas ik the stuff ive been getting into about englishness, the past, race, and cultural hybridity is more hot off the press or whatever plus ive done it before so i have a lot of groundwork already. and then I feel like what I would love to do abt neurodivergence would actually feel like the thing thats most important and revelatory but I genuinely dont know how I would actually go about it like i think id have to do fieldwork or something like I feel really out of my comfort zone when im not basically just synthesising theory from two previously unconnected fields I know that is basically what my brain is just good at 😭😭😭 basically torn between what I should do what I can do and what I want to do eeeek

How do you draw backgrounds?? It always looks so good. And how long does it take you
Hey thanks! Sometimes I kinda just yolo it and do whatever kind of makes sense (especially if it's a comic, impressionistic strokes can get the job done pretty well since ppl are mostly gonna be concerned about what the little people in front of them are up to). In these kinds of bgs I try to spend no more than 10-20 minutes on them (much easier if it's a place I've already drawn or designed before).
If I'm tryharding it or have to design a place I just get a big pile of references from google earth, Pinterest, irl, other artists (for ideas on palettes + how to translate certain forms + structures into a drawing), etc. and collage it in my brain. I only really draw real life places that are usually accessible to me so I don't have to work as hard as fantasy/sci fi artists lol. This bg is based off of this stock photo and took me a couple days.
I think the most difficult thing about backgrounds in a style like mine is controlling the values to make the right parts pop out but still feel realistic, so it involves a lot flipping back and forth between grayscale to figure out what to do sometimes. But yeah! Don't have much else to say on bg's other than yolo more than you tryhard (or don't. Idk. Do what feels right!! Live your truth!!)

Is your part time job art-focused? Feels like your artistic talents are something you should be paid for! 😊
Thank you, that’s sweet! Sadly not, but with support from my Patreons and the ppl who’ve been kind enough to commission me, I can make up some of the difference in living costs, and still have the freedom to draw what I love.
I was working full time, as a graphic designer before Covid hit, and then had to be let go because of how small the business was. But I feel a thousand times happier now than I did there. I have my simple, low stress, part time job, my side hustle, and I’m helping my mom take care of my gran. So, while it’s not a long term deal, it does allow me to work on my comic.
If I had an art focused job…idk if I’d also have the time or energy to still draw for myself. But that’s just a me issue 😆.

Propaganda why Aang is insufferable:
He has some very bad ideas that the narrative never explores and gets rewarded by the narrative for bad behavior.
Mostly just the way he deals with his crush on Katara and kind of forces it on her. It’s honestly really shitty because she never truly reciprocated his feelings and had plenty of moments where she shows she’s just trying not to hurt his feelings with a straight up rejection, but ends up with him in the end just because that’s what he wanted.
Like we know what it looks like when Katara actually has a crush on someone, she wouldn’t let the situation like the war affect how she feels about demonstrating those feelings when she’s so in touch with them. Like how she was with Jet and Haru. I just wish the writing team did a better job of showing Katara developing feelings for Aang way better than they did lol.
Made a series that was otherwise reasonably tolerable impossible to watch. I hate that all the jokes written for his character target 8-year-olds exclusively. Also his little TV show keeps appearing on my dash no matter how many words I block and I hate it
Propaganda why Gregory is insufferable:
This boy is so poorly written, it hurts. In the gameplay, he just acts annoyed and pissed off the whole time. Then, in the endings, he becomes a whole other character who acts scared and sad, which does not match the previous hours of gameplay AT ALL
But that just annoyed me
What really made me hate him was the GGY and Robot Gregory stuff, because OH NO, Gregory could not just be a normal kid who got into this situation by chance, he has to be a robotic recreation of the Crying Child, despite not acting one bit like CC, or, according to the GGY story in the books, he's responsible for multiple murders and is Afton's/the Mimic's apprentice.
Just let this kid be fucking normal!
(Also, unlike a lot of people, I really enjoy what the Ruin DLC did to his character. And don't try to say that's still the mimic, the mimic recycles dialog from the main game. This Gregory uses completely unique dialog, and unless the mimic was able to form new words in his voice all of a sudden, that's still him. He had to make a tough decision, one life or over hundreds and I can respect that)
Suffers from being made into another one of Matpat's ""is actually a robot theory"". It is annoying as hell, especially if its canon. We do not need robot children theories in a game about possession, child murder and serial killers. Especially not dumb theories about him being a 'recreation' of someone with a completely different personality. It has completely ruined any enjoyment I had in that character because we're just going back to the Afton family again
Someone made a good point about how his personality seems to be reminiscent of a certain trend where a video game protagonist has to be snarky even though it would’ve worked better for the horror atmosphere if he was more scared because it would’ve made the player feel his fear. I recall people being surprised about his personality and expecting him to be more scared, and I assume the developers were just afraid of ppl calling Gregory “whiny”, but it still feels like a missed opportunity

it really does feel like having emotional intelligence as a woman is a full-time fucking job. like you're so aware of how to defuse situations and fawn and mask and be pwetty and be so polite so that no man gets mad or creepy around you. it's like we're stuck on a theatre play and we're not allowed to leave our roles. but i wanna leave my role. i'm a woman i'm a hairy sweaty grunting angsty animal like any other trying to survive in a male dominated world and i have to be miss sunshine while therapizing and mothering men emotionally???? FUCK THAT i'm done!!!! I'M DONE!!!! no more nice woman. i'll use my emotional intelligence, my empathy, my comfort skills, only on those who deserve it. i don't want to overextend myself emotionally for other ppl's sake bc i was raised trained to be a Good Little Girl and do whatever other people needed me to do and become arm candy or an overworked mother with a shitty husband. like holy shit. i'm really realizing my upbringing living as a girl reallyyyy affected me deeply i'm glad in some ways bc thank god i'm not emotionally constipated like cis men, but also sad bc it's like i'm a soldier who was trained for a war i never wanted to go to anyway, and that i wasn't even contractually obligated to go to!!! and now i'm realizing i can opt out. i can be my own woman. i can be a human being first, woman second, and i don't need to be defined by my upbringing. i can be my own kind of woman and i can be human now. like i can start acting like an actual human being and not my idea of a Good Woman
i have finally fully 100% realized that i don't need to brainwash myself into worrying abt every little thing i do bc the patriarchy wants to keep me submissive and insecure and soft spoken. it wants me to doubt myself and stay in line. an easily swayed woman is a good woman by male society's standards. child-like, always needing guidance, not loud and brash and unlovable. when a man is outspoken, loud and proud he's the next president. when women do it they're nags and feminazi bitches. and i actually love bitches, i'm more of a dog person than a cat person tbh. i'm just a human who happens to be a woman too. it's the least interesting thing about me, like my height or hair color or me being a lesbian!!! it doesn't define me beyond just a trait i happen to have. i'm really starting to shed the layers of internalized misogyny i've always had about myself and it's SOOOO FUCKIGN FREEING!!!!! like oh my fucking god. i was like a turtle who kept retreating into her shell at the smallest thing and didn't want to inconvenience anybody. so unnecessary! turns out i don't need to do that i can just be a little guy who lives her life to THE FULLEST!!!!! bc you only live once bitches!!!! seize the moment be ur true self don't fawn all the time it's okay to be a grown ass adult and speak ur mind and make ur OWN choices!!!!

Hey so I haven’t seen NEARLY enough marquis Vincent de gramont fics. I was wondering if you could make some hcs about him.
Like what is he like as a s/o. Is he possessive, ooc gentle. How does he show affection
How was he in his rise to power, was the reader there from the beginning or did they meet during his rise to power
marquis vincent de gramont relationship headcannons !
warnings: none
i cant even explain how happy i am rn. this is kind of rushed considering i felt bad when i saw that this ask was from a few days ago (rlly sorry!). he's been on my mind soo much recently, i enjoyed writing this sm! thank you for requesting and i hope you enjoy !
- personally i feel like you would've met him before he became the marquis
- after my many rewatches of jw4 he seems like the type to be very selective about who he keeps close so i feel like his s/o would be very important and valuable to him
- he wouldn't really be that possessive bc he knows his s/o only has eyes for him (imo)
- he would be very protective tho (having his well trusted men take you places and make sure you're safe, making you keep your location on 24/7, etc)
- he would take his s/o to mostly private and selective high end events
- he wouldnt need to worry about people trying to get with his s/o
- imagining his s/o getting approached by a sort of new member of the high table and vincent scaring them off
- vincent probably wouldn't be that gentle with his s/o
- he would be physically gentle tho, he wouldn't lay a hand on his s/o or do anything to intentionally hurt them
- he wouldn't rlly sugarcoat things about his job or about the stuff he does
- i feel like he tries to keep his s/o and his life at the high table as seperate as he can (him k1lling/harming ppl in front of his s/o)
- mostly so his s/o wouldn't be afraid of him and view him as a bad person (kinda ooc?)
- i'm a firm believer in the fact that his love language would be gift giving
- 100% would buy/get anything his s/o asked for or wanted
- vincent would show his affection with physical affection occasionally, but not really too much
- mostly enough to show his s/o how important and loved they are by him
- going back to where i said he would keep his job away from his s/o, they would probably have to know about it to begin with
- i feel like he would show his s/o he truly loves them through the things he does for them and the things he says
- his s/o is either a former assassin or someone with connections to people who play big roles at the table
- in conclusion, we love vincent here

What do you think of what has happened in the recent chapters of MHA?
I don't want to be overly negative, but... the short version is I don't like a certain key fact and it's borderline ruined the story for me, at least in terms of thematic impact. I'm still interested to see how the characters end up, particularly the League, and reading for them.
The AFO reveal is honestly kind of... boring to me. I just don't care when it's a sudden "surprise! Bad decisions weren't our bad decisions after all!" This trope is consistently a pet peeve of mine (looking at you, flower plot in 2ha), almost as annoying as "it was all a dream," because I feel like it's similar: a bait and switch. Don't make me care in one way and then tell me "never mind, it's actually much simpler and you don't have to actually ask all those pesky moral questions."
Setting a character up to have lacking agency be their whole thing is great. Setting a character, or in this case characters, to have absolutely none is thematically uninteresting. The questions about Kotaro's morality and Nana's are interesting. I want to ask them and wrestle with them! That's where the themes are found.
And sure, Shigaraki was always a grooming victim, and I've pointed that out millions of times. But the reveal that this went further than we could possibly dream to where Kotaro and Nana are basically... absolved, is just so unnecessary. It adds nothing to the characters or themes, but it does whittle away at the interesting flawed human aspect of it.
It's lazy writing that screams "I am not sure I did a good enough job convincing my audience he's redeemable so I'll hit y'all with a hammer" when in reality, if you ask me, Horikoshi should have more confidence. He's not perfect but he did convince many ppl of Shigaraki's redeemability. He didn't need to quash any possible discussion about it; leaving things for people to chew on is actually interesting.

BROOO insomniac spider-man is sooo fucking hot I’m glad you feel the same. What really gets me is his voiceeee😩😩 my god
And his whole personality,,, he sooo teases his partner and loves flustering them wether be whispering in your ear while barely moving inside you, making you say what you want even if it embarrasses you. You can just feel him smirk against your neck, right under your ear. His hot breath fanning over you as he quietly laughs, Even then he would still find a way to tease you more
Maybe, he teases you while in the suit🤭 perhaps on patrol he runs into you, or even on call he’d find a way to fluster you. I don’t think he’d be opposed to quickys (quickies??) on the job either, he’s a very busy man after all, but he’s make sure to dick you down right🤭🤭
he is so fine in that tight ass suit, deffo has a monster cock and would learn how to use it right
no anon youre so right on his voice. yuri lowenthal was made to voice insomniac spider-man. he said something dirty once in game when talking to mj and i wish i could remember what it was but i remember how it echoed in my brain for hours
one thing about peter is his swift tongue. it’s not just good for quips and tearing down his opponents confidence, but it’s good for sweet talking you, teasing you, dirty talk. ppl may disagree with me but i think peter is capable of some hot dirty talk. it’s probably one of his favorite things, right next to the times you manage to make the mouth on him speechless.
he’s kind of a closet top— like don’t get me wrong he’s definitely a switch, but i think people would be surprised to hear he likes being in charge once in a while. and how good he takes control when he really wants it. there are times where you both are in the mood to boss the other around, and peter’s the first to tell you to “earn it.” good luck pinning him down when he can overpower you in his sleep. bench press a thousand times your body weight.
the suit… the suit.. the game devs knew what they were doing with that one. it’s the only suit i wear when i play because of how fucking good it looks. the white accents. the fit. the way it looks when he creeps like a literal spider. i’m so fucking dizzy.
answering your ft while he’s zipping through new york. “hey, hon, what’s up?” glancing between the screen and forwards. he regards your sultry look, and makes a joke. “yeah, yeah, i know i shouldn’t call and swing. how ‘bout you let me off with a warning?”
running into you on purpose because he knows what it does to you. quickies on the job are definitely an occurrence, and he often plays it like “oh.. but i really should get back.. they’ll need me any minute..” but he wants you just as bad as you want him. finds a secluded spot in the city,,, maybe even a rooftop under the moonlight. picks you up to swing you there.
pulling the suit down just enough to fit himself inside, covered everywhere else, wearing the mask which you insist on gazing into the visor of. something about fucking the spider-man really gets you off.

I never thought I'll enjoy Ep Nagi so much, but this spinoff has me feeling all kinds of things.
Stalker Reo 😭. The extents he goes to be Nagi's friend. Nagireo was never my thing, but I'm starting to see the appeal.
I think we as a fandom collectively ignore how funny Nagi is. The "legs broken" , " cells dead" 😂, Nagi is a relatable icon.
The expression in his eyes... they did such a great job with the art. And Reo clearly didn't understand how much of a big deal Nagi saying this was, bcz from a person who considers existing a pain, this is HIGH praise. Yep, definitely shipping Nagireo now.
God really isn't.🥲 Why does my boy Niko have to go through this?? From his perspective, this must look so horrifying. "Hugs Niko through screen".
Glad we have zantetsu's backstory now. I am LIVING for this friendship.
The Nagi- Zantetsu scene in the bath was so so cute. A depressed weirdo and a ostracized idiot finding a tentative comfort in each other. It really makes me wonder how Zantetsu is doing in PxG with all the ...interesting combination of people there. He seems like the type to straight up ask Loki why is a 17 yr old teaching them. Wonder how he'll bond with members like Tokimitsu and Rin. And his whole dynamic with PxG.
Protective Nagi!!
The "Nagi-kun" 😂 . Even Reo is sweating at how unnaturally angry Nagi is at Barou for hurting Reo. And I don't blame him at all. Bcz this chapter reminded me of why I dislike Barou so much.
I mean his behaviour here,
My heart is breaking for the other team. The desperation in the eyes of that blond kid , the bangs kid's sobbing... It really makes you feel for the rest of players who got locked off like Naruhaya and had an even worse time bcz of a bitch like Barou. Worst part is he meant every word he says here.
I'm sorry to all the Barou stans here, if you don't like what I'm saying, simply block me.
Ppl can call on-field Isagi and Rin rude all they want. Hell, even Sae does’nt bring people down in this manner. But nothing comes close to Barou spouting this kind of trash to his team. That they shouldn't even consider themselves human bcz they couldn't score a goal against Nagi.
And the way he was so insensitive to Snuffy opening up about Mick's death. Who tf actually tells a grieving person they won't end up like said dead guy bcz they're better or whatever, high key insulting Mick. Not a drop of compassion in him. Snuffy has the most patience in this entire facility for putting up with his bs.
Sae is rude to reporters, Barou is simply a deplorable human being with no excuse for his actions. I will be cheering Isagi on when he humiliates this guy in my reread. The only good thing I can say about him is that he's a great antagonist. If you stan Barou, atleast stan him as the jerk he is and not excuse his actions.
You tell him, babe! ( the way he caught Reo I- )
What. A. Badass.
Said it before and I'll say it again. The art in Ep Nagi is absolutely phenomenal. Esp, the shading on the other side of Nagi's face is stunning. Well, that's abt it for the first part of Ep Nagi.

i’ve been wondering for a while now if ppl were ever going to acknowledge how rick made it to where percy is a very shallow character. we only get the surface aspects of percy’s character but nothing that shows us his interests and what he likes to do outside of camp. it’s kind of sad.
i know he likes physical activities but that seems more pertained to camp rather than during his free time away from camp. and yes, he likes blue foods (which seems more like a comfort thing rather than a personality trait that a lot of ppl in the fandom like to treat it as). and yes, he’s loyal and smart and sassy. but what does he like to do? even whenever anyone comes up with anything he likes to do they always try to associate it with his father or something from camp or something that was briefly mentioned in passing in the series once or twice.
like, whenever people talk about what job percy would have when he’s older they always say something associated with water, which is a bit dumb in my opinion. percy’s character doesn’t revolve around his father, or at least it shouldn’t. and he’s never seemed interested in water or sea creatures, he only ever just interacts with those things when convenient for him. i feel like if we were to stay true to what little exists of his character, it’d make sense for him to either be a camp counselor or a writer/author. but he’s never even shown interest in writing…the only thing we get are the books in the pjo series being written from his perspective. sometimes it feels like rick just created a hollow main character that almost comes off as a (unintentional) self-insert for readers and he just picks up what majority of the fanbase agrees on and sticks it to percy even if it doesn’t make sense.
also percy’s never shown an active interest in school. he always treated it as something required of him. so the fact he’s willing to go to college all the way across the country away from his city, mom, and beloved camp makes no sense either. what would he even major in?

What kind of liquor everyone at the hotel drinks
This is a continuation of @hazelfoureyes’s post abt what kind of drunk everyone is.
My credentials for this that I’m a bartender and work in both restaurants and nightlife so I’ve served all kinds of ppl and Ik what customers want before they even order.
Alastor
So we know this man likes rye and I stonefly believe that he would drink either uncle nearest or makers mark. I mean cmon have you seen the bottle for makers mark it even fits his aesthetic. And yes he will smoke a fat cigar with it too.
Lucifer
Yeah this man drinks wine and is real pretentious about it too, he just gives off mega wine drunk type energy. Like will try to tell you all about how this wine is special because you can taste the hints of sandal wood and how it has a appley after taste even tho no one cares. Also the kind of person to say “I’m just gonna have one glass” then boom the entire bottle is empty.
Angel dust
He drinks vodka you can’t tell me otherwise, he’ll drink tequila when he really wants to turn up but it’s mainly vodka. His favorite is a vodka Martini with little (none) vernouth, so just shaken vodka in a martini glass and yes he can tell if you didn’t shake it. His favorite is highway vodka yk the one that’s made with weed and gets you a lil high aswell.
Husk
Another whiskey drinker everyone, I mean he even says it in the show, straight from the bottle no less. It’s probably either jack Daniel’s or Hennessy doesn’t care much about the quality like Alastor does. No rocks glass no ice cube straight up room temp (yuck). Every once in a while he’ll drink jägermeister if he’s feeling particularly devious that night.
Charlie
Listen don’t ever give her straight liquor, bc she will drink it if ppl cheer her on enough and then immediately throw it up, so everyone’s learned their lesson with her. The closest she’d be able to do without dying instantly is the deep eddy Lemmon/grapefruit. Just give her a Bellini or a margarita, also I feel like she’d love lemon drops.
Vaggie
Beer drinker I don’t know why but she gives off a beer girly kinda vibe that makes husks job so much easier. I feel like she’d like the cream and amber ales too. She’d only drink it on draft though no cans or bottles she thinks it ruins the flavor (she’s not wrong) but most ppl don’t understand that. When she’s not drinking beer it’s vodka crans and seabreazes with Tito’s all they and it’s definitely not bc those are the only two cocktail names she knows.
Nifty
Straight tequila no mixer no chaser not even dressed or chilled, right down the hatch bc she likes it when the alcohol just burns on the way down. YAY PAIN! Fun fact tequila isn’t a depressant which is why you start actin crazy when you drink it, and we all saw how she was acting in episode 6 classic tequila drunk behavior.
