The second installment of this comic right here. In which the gang hangs out :) pages under the cut!

#The thing about repetitive panels is that they look easy but I have no process so they are in fact extremely difficult and I hate doing them #But they're IMPORTANT #Those last few panels look like an edgy music video but Im allowing myself to be cheesy. I can do whatever I want forever (sweating) #rayman #ramon #bullfrog captain laserhawk #dolph laserhawk #captain laserhawk #clh #clh fanart #three's aground #three's aground comic #art #alcohol #smoking #discussion of death #mentions of violence #violence mention #Like I have no idea how to tag tws hope that's ok #*vine noise* *sweeping hand gesture* look at all those tags

I, I get fish and chips now.... I Understand.

#*vibrates insanely* #CHIP WANTS TO KISS HIM SOOOO BAAAADDDDDDDDDD #ITS INSAAAANNNNEEEEEE #HES SO IN DENIAL OMGGGGGGG #THEY NEED TO SMOOCH EACH OTHER FOREVER #*goes on a massive rant about how chip wants to kiss him and doesn't know how to deal with wanting to kiss him #bc usually chip isn't a romantic person and whenever he flirts with people it's never sincere and #he doesn't know how to cope with genuinely vulnerable feelings #so he just pushes it away and pretends it's not happening #only to find himself daydreaming about gill sweeping him off his feet and kissing him again like he did when Jay was drowning #meanwhile gill doesn't really get kissing but he understands that it's a human expression of deep affection and love and a special bond #so that meaning makes him happy and he's happy to return that gesture of affection* #jrwi riptide fanart #jrwi show #jrwi #jrwi fanart #gillion tidestrider fanart #jrwi gillion #gillion tidestrider #jrwi fnc #jrwi fish and chips #my art

idk why people are so taken by the ‘long hair = masc’ thing with utena. not because characters with long hair arent masculine, but because long hair in utena is much more obviously and meaningfully associated with sensuality, which is then gendered based upon various other factors. like a character’s long hair does not feminise them, but it doesn’t make them a manly masculine man either. it gives them sex appeal

#imagine me gesturing wildly at pictures of anthy’s hair up and down rn #the other thing w long hair is an idea of authenticity #it’s either anthy’s hair down with utena (vulnerable for the better) or with akio (Yeah) #utena also a great example of this !!!!! look at how someone like touga uses her hair to feminise her #also touga. he’s here don’t forget about him #‘what about kozue and shiori!!’ ill get to that dont you worry #it’s not so easy to make sweeping generalisations in a show this layered #dais.txt

Okay so I'm generously calling this the Dandy Guardian AU until I think of a better name but essentially this is the rundown [had to put this under a cut because it got long WHOOPS]:

In the book version of events, Dandelion isn't present when Geralt is in Cintra and calls the Law of Surprise, but he does know about what happened. I can't recall if we ever see that convo in text or if it's just background knowledge but that's not important right now

When the Fall of Cintra happens, Dandelion already has his ear to the ground, the walls and the crowds to follow Nilfgaard's movements - Oxenfurt's bards are the best bet anyone has for gathering information about the invading armies because they are spread so wide around the continent and have so many connections

Dandelion's first thought is not to send word to Oxenfurt about Cintra's fall. His first thought is Geralt, and his blasted Child Surprise. He starts tracking his way to Cintra, hoping that he might be able to cross paths with Geralt in the surrounding territories to assure himself that his friend didn't get caught in the middle of that Fall

Meanwhile, Ciri knows she has to find a Witcher by the name of Geralt. She knows he is her destiny. She has no fucking idea where to start looking for him, but she's on the run from Nilfgaard, terrified and anxious and stressed, and in her bag, to her surprise, she finds a well worn copy of a hidden book of Dandelion's poems, all of which are to do with Geralt's adventures. Mousesack had given it to her in secret when she was six, and it had been one of her favourites ever since

She quite forgot she had it in her bag

Cirilla has no idea where to find Geralt. But Dandelion might. Dandelion, she thinks, is her best bet to track her own destiny

And of the two of them, Dandelion isn't a very hard man to find. His bright plumage and singing laughter leaves an easy trail of rumours and tracks to follow. Curiously, whenever she asks about where she might find him, people don't tend to question her. They look at her with sympathy - and sometimes pity - and ask if she has anyone else she can rely on

"No," says Ciri, sombre and trembling. "I only have him."

It's not a lie, exactly, and she's gotten quite good at hiding her aristocratic accent. They point her to when they last heard of his presence. They ask if she needs any help. She thanks them for it, because she is still polite, if angry and confused and oh-so-very lost, but she declines any further company

She goes on.

Every night, she opens up that little book of poems, and tries to imagine what the man described in them is like. It's the closest thing she has to knowing Geralt the Person rather than Geralt the Cursed Witcher

Cirilla is three weeks' worth of travel out from Cintra's borders when she finds Dandelion. It's a little more accurate to say she's dragged over to him - apparently, a blonde, freckle faced child asking about such a famous bard is a quick titter of gossip in the grapevine, and she quickly discovers why it is that nobody ever asked her why she wanted him, and always looked with sympathy or pity at her plight:

Dandelion's hair is blonde. Hers is paler than his own, but he is blonde, like her, and his eyes are bright and clear. His face, though worn and tired, is fair and freckled just like hers, and he is just as surprised as she is when she finds herself shoved in front of him and announced to be his "illegitimate daughter"

"Whoever you got unlucky enough to knock up," says the other minstrel who guided her, "the poor lass seems all alone now. From what I heard, you're the only thing she's got left in the world."

Whatever the minstrel says next is lost to her - for a few aching moments, Dandelion looks panicked. And then something shifts. His face softens. "You look dead on your feet, darling," he says. "Come on, lets get you upstairs and clean you up a bit."

Cirilla doesn't trust strangers. Oddly, Dandelion doesn't feel like one. Perhaps because she has spent so many nights reading his work. Or maybe it's because he's a friend of her destiny. Either way, she quietly follows him up to his room, and when the door is closed, he says, "You don't know where Geralt is, do you?"

Ciri does not.

Her lip trembles. Her shoulders shake. When she finally heaves a sob, Dandelion does not crowd her. But his hands are gentle when he moves her cloak from her shoulders. His voice is soft as he brushes her hair and hums a quiet song

Dandelion never met Pavetta in person. But he once saw her in a painting, and he's seen plenty of Calanthe's likeness over the years besides. Ciri looks a spitting image of them both. Privately, he's impressed at how well she could hide her accent. But she is still just a child, and Dandelion has much more experience with putting on such a performance. He's worn many a different mask with many a different voice over the years, and he had heard traces of her native Cintran beneath the roughness of her croak

Cirilla is alone. But she is also alive, and Dandelion knows, with a confidence born of years by Geralt's side, that his Witcher would never let himself die before finding this girl safe

When the morning comes, he begins to take her North

#the witcher books #dandy guardian AU #dandelion #cirilla fiona elen riannon #this is obviously just a drafted sort of outline to give The Overall Vibe Of The Thing #but there you have it! my idea for an AU where ciri finds our errant bard before she finds geralt #and the two of them travel together to find their misplaced witcher #she's already started using the name 'fiona' for herself btw #which is how she's introduced to dandelion #him picking up on her accent is bc we know he's good at this in canon! #he notices rience's accent in the midst of being tortured and if he can make note of something so innocuous during that #then I bet he's simply got an ear for picking up that sort of thing #also please imagine in this AU that ciri picks up dandelion's sweeping gestures and poetic speech patterns #she's imprinting on him to learn how to be a better actor :] surely this will not cause any problems down the line

you know what gets me tho

I think simon's face (and how much he was crying - like, joyfully) is hitting me hard because of how incredibly romantic the gesture is? like yeah, obviously wille is free and simon wants him to be happy and wille didn't do it for simon, really

but in the barest sense of it, this is simon's love going to him romcom style (like seriously my man you own a phone you didn't have to run after the car) to declare to him that he toppled the swedish government, not for him, really, but it does mean they can be together now, so it was a little bit for him

like for simon who's always giving giving giving and usually not getting anything back, the absolute romance of this gesture had to have sucker punched him, right? like that's some fairytale shit. I know simon was also deeply moved by the romance of it all.

#yr livenats #yr s3 spoilers #young royals spoilers #he's probably super overwhelmed #there's just something about the unabashed JOY in his face that gets me #he deserves all the grand sweeping romantic gestures in the planet idc #give simon the world 2kforever

for your writing trademark, esp for revalink, def your heavy use of petnames 🤞

(ask game from here)

it's true i'm a sucker for revalink being soft with each other via pet names 👹 link is just revali's sweet little jewel-songbird-snowdrop to me 😌

#ask #ask game #cryiling #revalink #amihan's revalinkverse #i'm adding frostbite to revali's list of petnames for link #i've considered coming up with more petnames for link to use on revali #but i think the number of pet names matches their personalities like #revali is all about grand sweeping dramatic gestures of love #he's got an arsenal of different names of love to call link bc he'll turn the entire world into being about link #whereas link imo is more of a functionalist; he only needs one nickname for his vali <3 and it does its job well #link definitely calls him birdbrain tho #(glances at my revalink playlist being called 'birdbrain & blondie') yeah. #ty for the ask <3 #i will. get to your other ask one day. when i am feeling better LOL

Someone holds me, safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory…

Hi I finished a resisting Durge user with Bela and I have. Thoughts.

#my art #described #baldurs gate 3 #baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 art #the dark urge #oc: bela #durge: Bela #the Thoughts have mostly been of a durgetash variety I will admit. the shitty man has Enamored me… #essentially my thoughts for Bela is that like. she never wanted to be a bhaalspawn. she helped concoct the plan because she was hoping that- #-if she made some grand sweeping gesture to her father he’d leave her tf alone. she stuck out in the rest of the cult as she was far more- #-controlled and restrained than the others there despite literally being of bhaal’s blood. she was resisting long before she lost her memory #before the game’s start she’d pray often to eilistraee. her prayers tended to go unanswered but she formed a version of herself in her head- #-that she wanted to be if she wasn’t a bhaalspawn and tried to live up to that. when she lost her memory she didn’t know about any of that - #-but eilistraee had blessed her broken mind with the ability to heal and spread light. she was listening - there just wasn’t much she felt- #-she could do up to this point. so she went from pregame being an assassin-rogue to during game being a cleric with a penchant for music. #in losing her memory it gave her the opportunity to be the person she always wanted to be even if she was unaware that’s what she was doing #anyway scattershot thoughts. bela my love

why write chandler if you hate his canon relationship?

canon relationship - ? i ... buddy, timon and pumba are more canon than fucking joe and kent

#would i really write a character if i didn't disagree with the majority of the fandom's really fucking awful ideas? #no. #but sure i can list the reasons for the hate #1) it is offensive to argue that IMITATING someone's mental illness is a healthy supportive gesture #imitation does not mean understanding. #if my partner tried to 'understand' and 'support' my mental illness by pretending to fucking have it in an effort to be like 'me too babe' #i would simply fucking lose it #2) NOT EVERYTHING IS GAY. just bc youre a woman that wants two men to be uwu in love .. doesnt mean that they are. #even if you are also a gay man (hi buddy. i love u) ... remind urself that not everything has to be gay. we should want GOOD representation #3) i'm sorry did no one watch the show? kent is literally so unlikable. he is the walking pole that holds up the giant red flag #4) the argument that the actors supported it is completely invalid bc rupert said in EVERY INTERVIEW that joe was absolutely not aware #5) the ending scene is not joe agreeing to go with kent. hes agreeing to go to the pub with the TEAM and im sorry but you are cheapening #that boy and his arc and his struggle through the entirety of series 4 not to mention the whole show by making it about kent. #6) yall just gonna sweep morgan under the rug and leave her laying there huh? thats fine thats fine.

oh sometimes i'm overcome with the realization of just how sentimental a bitch i am

like i really am straight up just playing make-believe with these characters like they're digital barbies

okay so in Iona's inventory, i've had this necklace

since very early in act 1.

it was in Aradin's chest at the Grove, and it was the first thing "we" managed to get with the "I distract them with conversation/busking and you steal everything that isn't nailed down" act/trick I had thought up for her and Astarion. I thought it'd be kinda cute for him to, at the end of this test run, present it with a ~theatrical flourish~ once just out of earshot of its original owner, and for her to ~graciously allow~ him to drape it around her neck, as a hamfisted and silly act of mock-courtship they both know is false. (it was kind of a... "we both know what this is all about and where it's headed, but wouldn't it be fun to play make-believe and pretend it's something entirely different" type of thing.)

I thought it'd be cute, if a touch bittersweet for her to keep it, just slotted away in her little "sentimental items" pouch, like.... next to the dog toy, her old wedding band, and the other useless junk she couldn't bring herself to throw away or sell.

and then today, i found this as I was selling stuff in the Glittering Gala.

it's the same design. and i like to describe Iona's eyes as "amber" when I write about them (they're kind of a reddish/yellowish, pretty medium brown). and she looks much better in golds and reds than she does in blues and silvers.

so. um.

guess who got this bloody thing "sneaked" into her inventory at the long rest.

if you think i won't 1.) exit a trading screen abruptly, 2.) switch controlled characters, 4.) buy a silly and utterly useless junk item AS that character (thought about just picking her pocket but.... we have 35k gold. why would i.), and 4.) keep it in that character's inventory until it "seems like" the PC isn't "paying attention", and then 5.) drop it into their inventory "unnoticed", all for LITERALLY NO GOOD REASON other than just to act out a silly little gesture and support the little fanfic in my head, well.

you'd be very wrong.

((and i was grinning and giggling downright embarrassingly the whole time too))

#squirrel plays bg3 #oc: iona raedir #“astarion isn't the type to do romantic gestures” false #“he does big thoughtful acts of courtship and sweeps the pc off their feet” also false #it is my belief that he isn't the type to do Big Flashy Romantic Things #and is also not the type to be vocal about them #my headcanon is that he'll do the Big Declarations and Theatrical Displays when he's taking the piss in some way #as in he'll joke and play at- and exaggerate courtship when it's all for fun and show and means nothing or very little #but when it's supposed to actually MEAN something; when it's REAL; then the ways he shows love are both small #and done without fanfare or expecting acknowledgement #not even making the slightest effort to keep hands to themselves even in public is fun of course; but the love? #that's in... a pilfered piece of that fruit she likes found randomly in her pack. a swift dagger batting aside a blade meant for her ribs #a small scratch of a pen's tip subtly marking a sweet passage in the book she “borrowed” from him #or in this case; it's something that she found among her things and put on without making a fuss about it #at least not beyond a knowing glance shared; a soft smile exchanged; and her fingers absently fiddling with the stones throughout the day #if she wasn't wearing the guidance-amulet (useful) i'd probably actually equip it on her like i did the silver one for the longest time ngl #because like i said; i'm a sentimental bitch playing make-believe with my little toys

Okey b4 i leave this season behind. The intro tho

[Visuals warning: Flashing Lights, Eye Strain]

[VD: The intro to Transformers Headmasters (87 anime). It shows of the new characters gimmick [seperating their heads from their bodies as their are actually small bots piloting large bodies] Introducing characters and locations, some bots come from a fortress over earth, the humans in eva suits on the moon, the villians swooping in by a planet, the train bots merging into a giant mech. A blistering space battle fought with lazer guns and energy swords picks up. The music is pumped up feel good thing with lyrics about stopping war and fighting for future peace, while repeating the Transformer and head-on/head masters chorus. END]

#some shit #its not called cisformers #a full minute 20... imagine that [the us seasons are only 30 seconds...] #i really like the shot of chromedome [brown one] saving rodimus [pink one] #just kinda like sweeping him off his feet gesture but also. sack of potatoes #two more eps left. jeeeez #Youtube

[computerexploder]

i need summer to start before i kill myself

#im fine this is not meant to be worrying its just that (vague but grand sweeping gesture)

[cowboyyeehaww]

I realized earlier that I've never concepted a Cecil for myself, so here's first rough sketchy go at one!

#cecil sweep #wtnv #cecil gershwin palmer #vm.exe #I literally never post on tumblr but I'm feeling Manic so here's Cecil!!! #I don't post original things don't follow me sjkshskdhsk #also I gave him a cane and yes I had him hold it the way I do #[precariously dangling off the wrist for it to rauccously flail around while I gesture when I don't immediately need to use it] #okay goodnight everyone happy sweep 🧡🧡🧡 #cecilsweep #welcome to night vale

[home-halone]

goddd I have so many thoughts about Gale.

He is the most Salad-flavored love interest I've come across in a while and he ticks soooooooo many boxes. BUT GOD. Just. The way his character is handled made me drop his romance.

#bg3 #personal #not ff #you don't understand this isn't flat out hate I'm FRUSTRATED #I want to like him so bad but he's just not compelling enough for me #the sweeping romantic gestures captivated me but the pacing and progrsesion were so weird #AND the fact that his motivations just didn't seem strong enough #just felt like Tav!Caesia was secondary for no reason #anyway talk to me about bg3 it doesnt have to be romance related LMFAO #by the way i am not joking when i said i dropped his romance i backtracked 20hours #TWENTY HOURS OF GAMEPLAY #just so i can kiss Astarion instead

[grumpyfaceurn]

I should probably do something about... All this

#Sweeping gesture encompassing all of my life #Well at least the archaeology game seems to have burned itself out

[goatsandgangsters]

at the airport terminal, there was a guy who had my EXACT same hair

like, not just sort of the same cut. But same color. Same texture. Same shape. Same length on top. Same length along back. Same cowlick on the left side that causes the same little tuft to flip in the wrong direction the same way. very surreal to get an outside view of your hair in 360°

Anyway! I get on the plane! And you will never guess! You'll never guess who I was sitting next to!

#i DIDNT COMMENT ON OUR IDENTICAL HAIR BUT LIKE WHAT ARE THE ODDS #I ordered a ginger ale from the drink cart and then he did too and like. c'mon man. #I was walking behind him after we landed and he did the same gesture I do constantly to try and fruitlessly sweep the cowlick tuft over #IT WAS JUST. MY HAIR. IT WAS SUPER WEIRD.
