summary: what the one and only arthurtv would be like as your boyfriend

authors note: tysm for the request anon, i loved writing these! this man is literally a walking green flag like how is he even real. sorry for the slow uploads btw i've been super busy lately

-> the gentleman above all gentlemen istg

-> he's such a caring boyfriend. whenever you are sick or had a bad day, he seems to know exactly what you need and won't leave you alone until you feel better

-> literally gives the best hugs ever. i can't rlly explain it but I feel like his body just runs warm so he's really cozy and you always feel so secure when he's got his arms around you, cradling you into his chest

-> arthur makes getting out of bed in the morning so much more difficult simply because his cuddles are so comfy that you never want to leave

-> not super into pda, the most he will do in public is quick pecks but in private he is SUPER clingy, to the point where he's basically an extra limb

-> whether he's holding your hand/got an arm slung around your waist or has his head laid in your lap while watching tv, he's not happy unless he's touching you in some way

-> we all know arthur is a massive nerd, and you probably are too, so you often go on dates to museums or art galleries

-> also, zoo/aquarium dates are a must in your relationship. he loves to infodump random animal facts and you love to stare at him adoringly while he infodumps random animal facts

-> arthur is always so attentive to you, and notices every difference in your appearance and can tell when your mood changes even if you are trying to hide it from him

-> he also remembers all the little details about you, even the minor stuff you don't remember telling him, and you often joke that he knows you better than you do

-> shows his love for you through small acts of service like always having your favourite food stocked in his kitchen and learning your skincare routine so he can do it for you when you are too tired

-> would also give you his shoes without hesitation if your feet started hurting on a night out. he doesn't care how uncomfortable it is for him or that he looks like an idiot. he just wants you to feel as comfortable as possible

-> arthur absolutely adores the soft domestic moments together. very much a quality time person, and he loves that you can make even mundane chores seem more interesting

-> george and arthur hill like to tease him about being a simp, but they genuinely think its so sweet how happy being around you makes him

-> george once told you, when you were over at the boys' house and your boyfriend was in the bathroom, that in all the time they've known each other, he has never seen arthur smile as much as he did when he was with you

-> similar to george, he has a very busy work schedule so he tries to treasure the time you do have together. unfortunately, he does sometimes miss your dates due to filming overrunning but he always feels terrible and tries to make it up to you the best he can

-> your relationship is so sweet and supportive. you're the kind of couple that you can tell, just by looking at them, how inlove they are with each other

WIBTA for calling out my friend's spending habits?

✈💸 to find later

I (NB 20s) have been struggling to find employment for a long time. I've been struggling a lot with money- I'm technically indebted to my bank due to an overdraft I dipped into during my last weeks of university while paying off surprise fees, and in the entire year since have been unsuccessful in paying it off for any meaningful length of time. The stress has been immense and I've been avoiding like the plague any kind of personal purchase or leisure activity that might cost me anything. It's a mindset that's been making me profoundly miserable and that I'll probably struggle to get out of for a long time.

However, in the past few weeks, I've managed to land what I can only describe as my dream job. It doesn't start for another couple months, and the pay won't be fantastic (it's an internship), but without a doubt it will change my life. Desperate to do something nice and give myself a break, members of my family agreed to lend me money via plane tickets to do a nice trip this summer and see my best friends abroad, my last big hurrah before entering the full-time workforce for the rest of my life (and being able to pay them back). And I've been really excited! I've been saving even harder than usual, scraping up cash and politely asking grandparents. It won't be easy to support myself in another country in my financial situation, I understand that, but I'm at a point where I think I can do it for a short time and not be a burden on the people who are hosting me.

However, the only issue comes with my friend (NB 20s). I've known them for years, we're extremely close, and we've been waiting for a chance to see each other again for most of that time not knowing if it would ever happen due to my financial situation, so this is the opportunity of a lifetime. They really want to host me, for at least 2 weeks, and do all these nice things together we've been planning. But in the past month or so they've all but drained hundreds of dollars from their bank account in art commissions and room decorations for themself, all of which they've been excitedly showing off to me and our other friends, all the while running out of money entirely. They can't pick up work from their (seasonal) job anymore, either, so there's no way for them to earn back the money now, and recently they've started having to push their commissions just to cover their student loan payment this month. In ordinary circumstances I wouldn't mind and would try and help them out, but I won't be in any financial position on the trip to cover their bills as well as my own (at least not regularly), and I feel like this would have been so preventable if they'd just... picked less wildly expensive things to buy as a treat, knowing the circumstances.

They've said they're also stressed and need to buy themselves nice things sometimes, which I totally agree with! I'm not that much of a party pooper, they are in a rough situation themself right now and the stuff they bought does make them genuinely happy. But it also sucks to watch them then have to struggle to pay for bills and necessities because of it, and I feel really selfish for thinking of it in the framework of our time together later as well. I've done my absolute best to be able to spend at least a few weeks having a great time with them not worrying and pinching pennies while taking care of myself, but now I'm worried we're just going to spend the trip with both of us stressed out of our minds and stuck at home struggling to pay for gas. I'm an anxious person, and the few times I've tried to bring up my worries in a more gentle way, they've vehemently reassured me everything will be fine, but now I'm leaving in just over a week and everything seems like it's getting worse instead of improving.

I know I should be just glad to spend time in their company, even if it is just at home, but I can't stop feeling like the way they've been spending money in the leadup to this has been really irresponsible and preventable. But even if so, it made them happy in the moment so i should be happy for them too, and surely it's just straight up none of my business? It's also not like they can take it back now- it's already happened, and they can't earn the money back if they wanted to. I feel like if i called them on it at this point it'd just be a dick move and come across pointless and jealous, but I also can't help but think it's unproductive to let this gnaw at me the entire time, like I should really be communicating this kind of upset and talk it out first in case it comes to a head and boils over and ruins our whole time together.

I'm aware I'll be long into the trip by the time this posts but it'd be nice to look back and see other perspectives.

Animal drawing dump

Another collection of animal drawings.

I’m learning a lot of new things  :0 I haven’t really done much anatomy study (I should). Instead I just spend every free time I have observing them. (10 minutes before and after bed. They are my new therapy) Anyhow, here are some doodles, and images from videos after the cut:

Nene the gorilla. She’s in her 50s (= 80s in human years) tried to simplify her shape in the first image.

Her granddaughter Annie (9 years old)

BEARS (testing the gouache set I bought)

African Wild dogs

Lions

photos under the cut

Nene !!!! her default mode is her leaving her mouth hanging open.

Her granddaughter annie being a fashionista. She LOVES gathering up burlap sacks and putting them on her like a cloak or scarf.

Her brother Kiyomasa having a moment

Annie sharing her food with Kiyomasa <3 <3 <3 I love how she notices him come into the room and is like “oh! here have some”

I should probably show you their dad Shabani. Kiyomasa takes a lot after him.

finally, Genki daydreaming

#sketches #animals #gorillas #their noses a little hard to capture #i should do nose studies #there probably won't be much art for a while #having a hard time with life and just trying to squeeze in time to do art studies #so hiatus maybe???? #i might post sketches here and there #btw these gorillas are from higashiyama zoo in japan #except genki. she's from kyoto zoo #the other animal doodles are from documentaries i watched over the winter break #have a good week everyone <3

[aaapplepie]

more pixel sprites but it's the minor antagonists this time

#fictif #last legacy #is minor antagonist the right category??? is there a level below minor????? #who knows. #(someone knows. not me though) #anyway rip to these two #somehow 'I'm going to go one or two more pixel art things (in between other stuff)' #has turned into 'I should make pixel art of every character' #bc I remembered how much I love doing pixel art #going to try to space them out so I don't clog up the tag #it's probably going to take A While so hopefully that won't be an issue anyway #but these are the first two! #apple.gif

[roses-fallen]

Alongside devving my OC stuff, I'm happy to announce that I finally have another little passion project to add into the mix!

a fun little AU called...

SONIC AND THE HIGH ORDER!

A story about the titular hedgehog saving the last living city of an alternate dimension, from the hands of a systemic evil! All while forming bonds with characters very closely resembling his friends :D

Alongside Tall Tail, I hope to turn this into something special one day, for now though, art and concepts of it will be made for pure fun

Also, here's the logo under the cut!!

#rock's art #sonic the hedgehog #sonic #sonic the hedgehog fanart #sonic au #i know i said this in the post but I really hope I can make this something special soon #at the risk of sounding too sappy #sonic is a very special franchise to me and I've always wanted to make something of it #so today i decided to finally start concepting it! #...even if I probably won't be able to develop anything for a long while #sooo #yeag #i hope you guys are in tune for this #idk #also yes the bottom part of the logo is pretty much referencing frontiers

[bbq-potato-chip]

[beneathsilverstars]

it's so far past my bedtime i stayed up sooo late playing ISAT last week and then kept staying up late to think/post/read about ISAT and i haven't gotten to sleep in even ONCE bc i have to wake up with my actual four year old every morning. so i'm very tired. but i am SOO HYPE RN ABOUT BEING IN A FANDOM AGAIN THAT I'M VIBRATING. being a parent and supporting a family takes over your whole ass life i haven't been active in fandom for. almost four years heehee. but i realized that i need a hobby again or i'll DIE so here i am :333

#silverstarschat #i'm sure i won't usually post this much bs i'm just sitting around waiting for my art to upload #maybe i should give up and export smaller file sizes LMAO #here i'll just copy over my ISAT tweets while i wait!! #i'll probably put them in da queue though mostly #who needs sleep when you have SPECIAL INTEREST

[disastrousfeline]

it's so joever

#the thing broke containment oh god popular blogs and PYRO MOTHER FUCKING CYNICAL are aware of it now ohhhh god #ok i think this is my cue to disappear again #(/j probably. we'll see) #project moon #limbus company #(ftr. i am boycotting lcb rn yes) #(but i still love the lore and characters so much and i gush about and make art of them) #(i consider this very ironic actually) #(going against their own messages can you imagine) #(anyways i probably won't be posting about lcb for a while) #(but i'm still quietly making art for my friends privately)

[ebonynightwriter]

Figure drawing I did while chatting about movies and such w/ classmates~ (untimed)

It was fun to practice the different angles/perspectives here!

#figure drawing #sketches #gesture drawing #/ #// #my stuff #my art #class in question is for storyboarding and i'm SWAMPED so probably won't see much else out of me for a while 😅

[loregoddess]

okay, uh, sorry to the people who follow me, I apologize for the Tekken spam, I promise I'll be normal after tonight

#eventually shoved some things into my queue bc this one artist drew the entire cast and I commend that dedication but uh #I had already reblogged a concerning number of posts so into the queue the art did go #anyhow like I said Tekken possesses me occasionally and then I won't talk about it for years so...yeah... #this was my ''I just remembered how much I love Tekken'' storm I'll be good for a while after this #probably #oracle of lore

This is "The Doctor", a resident of the nightmare realm, who has been there long enough to have been almost completely corrupted. His face is normally just a pitch black void hole but sometimes you can see eyes and/or teeth in there

He wants to help people, but he's almost completely lost his mind, and can sometimes act a bit... Feral.

Surprisingly, the nightmare realm's usual effect of making people lose every memory of their life before they ended up here, hasn't managed to take away his medical knowledge. He's still very smart, despite everything.

Unfortunately he seems to scare off most people who he would otherwise have helped...

#my art #Ok okkkk so this guy is from the world in my mind I live in parallel to reality #But I wanna make some of the guys from there into ocs too because they're neat #Love this guy. He's kidnapped me several times (LMAO ok there's context but I'd have to write a damn novel to explain that) #Oh and the nightmare realm isn't the world in my mind. Well it's a dimension in a multiverse I travel in there #But uhhhhh I spend basically all my time in the nightmare realm now bcause I like the vibes #But before that... I just spent time with various video game characters #Asriel from undertale became a scientist that created dimensional portals. And we kinda found the nightmare realm on accident #We don't talk much anymore but y'know. Every once in a while I'll visit #Last time though he had been forced into working for an evil agency that was trying to harness my demi-god like powers #Because in the universe in my mind I'm a shape-shifting horror that cannot truly die (I respawn) #I actually nerfed my own powers in-universe because I hadn't been to responsible with them in the past #Well I gave the ability to regulate my powers to a sort of evil-ish counterpart of myself (void) #And then we made a deal to cut eachother's power down to a reasonable level #And now neither of us can re-acquire that dangerous level of power #Uhhh. Isn't that kinda how the things in harry potter work? A vessel with a chunk of your power in it? Idk #Anywayy_yyyys #Void decided to do some trickster shit and tried to absorb me for my power and become a god recently. #So I was like ''ok no more chances bitch'' and finally reduced her to a basically mortal form and banished her #To some random dimension I probably won't ever go to. #(She's been a problem for yeeeeaaaarrrrsss but we were occasionally chill so I didn't wanna do it but y'know.) #We even kinda accidentally had a magic-baby??? Sorta? There's no better way to explain that one but yeah idk where that chick ran off to #Y'know I refer to void as she mostly but she's kinda just whatever she wants to be in the moment. Fucking chaos incarcerate #Her original job was absorbing forgotten ideas. Characters or concepts or entire worlds fogotten by my mind #Woukd become part of her #UUhhhhhhhhhhhhhm. #Oh and void was in charge of the evil organization that wanted to harness my power. #She had possessed the leader of some government scientist lab thing. #And. Well. Yeah. #Congrats to anyone who reads all this and I'm sorry for the brief glimpse into complete derangement

@wanderer-of-light please know that every time i see your nice tags i go "!!!" and gain +4 spoons for art. take this quick doodle of vastha and k'pheli, because i like to think they'd be friends and also i am shy but am willing to Art

#bound with thread | original posts #divine being of crystal and star | k'pheli tia (sae'pheli'ehva) #hero from another star | others' wol #welcoming moon of the summer evening | vastha mhakaracca #seal it with wax | art #yes its almost 2am as i post this. what of it #will i have a sae'pheli'ehva or a'mehka'ahma ref ready by the time artfight starts? ahahaha probably not #gonna be away from home so i won't be able to do art or write much for the next few days alas #but anyways uhhh please enjoy. the Them #i don't have any solid reason for why they'd be friends i just think they might get along. vibe in the same area for a bit. #also please note i'm still trying to figure out how to illustrate the difference between seeker and keeper fangs in my art so. #that's why this doodle has k'pheli and not mehka ahaha‚ since mehka has seeker fangs and keeper pupils while pheli has the inverse #anyways my love for quick gradient backgrounds continues on ahahaha #again -- i don't get notifs from your blog for some reason but! i hope you enjoy the art!!

[ratgirlcopia]

copia's conundrum is fun (to me) because it reads like a personal challenge for how many components of different psychonauts levels can be smashed into a single horribly dysfunctional mind.

#copiaposting #cassie's collection is probably doing the heaviest lifting there (which makes the naming scheme even funnier) #but it's like. a little bit of a lot of them. cassie and gloria were the main ones i leaned into uhhh tonally? i guess? #there's a piece of unused copia bonita art al did ages ago that won't be making it in there (says this while crying) #but the impact it had on my brain remains. and hopefully is evident somehow later on lol. #anyway! so excited for the other chapters to go up (gradually) because there's so much fun stuff in there. #and art that makes me screamcry and cryscream is coming up.
