#theres something about him i just like drawing this

[sassykinzonline]

sometimes its actually alarming HOW uncritically the naruto fandom looks at the text like because something isnt "shown" in canon/on-screen (it usually is, but just implicitly) people think it means it couldnt have happened and therefore making sweeping statements about the character like "theyre just weak" or "they make no sense"

as usual im going to focus on naruto (😌) heres an example but it applies to many others (itachi, gaara, neji, hinata,...me)

here are some things we know about naruto:

he is inexplicably talented at taijutsu despite having no mentor

he created sexy jutsu for attention from older men (he craves a father figure)

he is rather repulsed by affection aside from certain people

he relies on shadow clones to outnumber his enemies and protect him from damage, as well as acting like diversions (he only later on seems to learn to use them practically as well, and he doesnt use them as an actual team iirc)

he represses his memories and life severely if they cause him distress or negative emotion, and when he doesnt do that it causes him to lose complete control of himself in anger

some of these things are basic signs of a child who has been abused in multiple ways (particularly verbally, physically, and sexually), but also just logically how is it possible that naruto became proficient at taijutsu when he didnt train with anyone and had no teacher to correct him? why would it be important to naruto to have, what are essentially, human shields? why does naruto freely tolerate physical abuse he receives while others openly complain about it? why would that lead to naruto eventually wanting to defend/protect everyone in tandom with ANOTHER orphan who feels the same? why would WE not be able to have a clear directly depicted answer to this as a reader?

idk to me personally there are a lot of things people say are "headcanons" are just things they logically put together based on subtext, and theres a reason why a vast majority of people who read the same text come to the same conclusion. it seems like this is a lot less common in manga form (i dont read manga so i wouldnt know, i understand different mediums have different communication norms but some things are just literary basics), so its the first time ive encountered this "why does everyone believe in [some idea not said in plain english]? it's never said anywhere!" logic...it doesnt need to be. there are certain clues and patterns youre supposed to be able to draw conclusions for based on common life experiences (archetypes/universal symbols).

if you can do these above steps and come to a conclusion, and a plurality of people come to the same conclusion, it was probably intentional on the author's part. if the author explicitly states its not intentional, then sure, but that doesnt take away from how/why the story is impactful because the author may not even realize theyre doing it. an easy example i can think of is tsunade's fear of blood, where its meant to symbolize death, but in her case also ends up symbolizing love wrt her relationships with naruto and jiraiya. and thanks to blood gaining this symbolism through tsunade, when you see uchiha tears of blood, you instantly make those same connections. then you think back to gaara screaming about having never seen his blood (coming from his forehead where that tattoo of his is......), then the eventual resolution of that being an inversion of the symbolism the manga establishes when he battles his father during the war.

more than anything though i find it kind of concerning that adults sit around laughing at obviously what is meant to be traumatic. as if there arent people in your life who sit around with these same experiences and signs, with something they havent told you about because theyre afraid youll laugh at them.

it is friday my dudes (little hearts added by @tazmiilly)

#sorryyyyyy for not posting ... please accept these as compensation #gravity falls #fiddleford mcgucket #artwork of the damned #tales of the wild zeep #ummmm ok context for the first one should be mostly self-explanatory #i purposefully left the person he's calling open to interpretation #however for the record i will say i am a 'fiddleford was divorced before he came to gravity falls' truther #but that does not mean he would never call back to cali to check in on his son or anything #so take that as you will #uhhhh everything else is pretty silly and doesnt require much explanation i dont think?? #i dont draw pre-college fidds a lot even though i literally have a whole backstory written for him LOLLLL #also i have a whole complex where when i draw a character pre-transition i feel embarrassed #sort of like i've walked in on them in the bathroom or something. like 'whoops sorry' and i politely look away #want to make it VERY CLEAR i dont think theres anything wrong or bad about drawing someone pre-transition!! #it's just a weird thing ive noticed about myself that i'm trying to deal with #and it literally only happens when i'm drawing. not when i'm writing

I try so hard to be nice. Seeing spamton so distressed makes me feel awful. I wanna reach through his screen, give him a hug and tell him it’ll be okay. But I’m nothing but a letter to him. Words on a screen he can easily ignore.

I want him to be happy, I want to whisk away every single bad ask and wrap spamton up in a blanket and give him the warmth and love he deserves. I really, really wish I could.

I suppose for now sending this will do. Thank you for the amazing stories, bu ❤️‍🩹 you’ve genuinely broken my heart for this poor man, I cannot wait to see more

But he hasn't. He doesn't ignore what you guys say. He really really cares about what you say, in fact. Easily ignorable, but he is paying attention. Anyways, thanks :-)

#Well #besides on purpose that one time but you deserved that then. #heres your little treat #drawing him just. takin a nap. is one of my favorites #tbh. Its just so like... #idk.. nice? peaceful? drawing him relaxed and getting his beauty sleep #catching those Zs #he deserves a little nap #ive been restraining myself from doing it more often in ygm i think its only really been twice #i count it as 1 1/2 because one was a blip #uhm. #but theres also other reasons. #bwomp. #sighhhh #nooo whaat this wasnt an excuse to draw him sleeping cause you said that whaaat #thyanks guys btw #it really means a lot to ME that you care about him so much #WAAGHHHH its SO sweet #yess king naptime #i really really wish you could comfort him too. i wish you could give him a hug or give him something too. #I really do. #He needs it.. but i have my reasons. #one of them being i dont want to draw some shitass weird anon they;d look so out of place

Ok but what if they all came back for chapter 7

#twst spoilers #twisted wonderland spoilers #twst #I STIL HAVENT FINISHED MASQUERADE SO MAYBE THERES A MORE REASONABLE REASON WHY PEOPLE KEEP DRAWING ROLLO COMING BACK FOR CH7 #but i think something like this would be cooler and sillier #i think the dynamic between idia nadja and rollo would be funny #marja and nadja would be besties :) #i literally barely know anything about human zazu i just put him there because hes also a event character #didnt put the fairies from the other events because they arent bold enough to fight malleus #it's been like 5 days since i originally posted this and i just realized that i wrote nadja instead of najma :'|

Timeswap!Vettonso(I blame @ayceeofspades for this)

Thoughts:

References HEHEHEHE:

So the dynamics would be: STR!Seb x Aston!Fernando and Post-Retirement!Seb x Ferarri!Fernando(~2011-2012)

The former would be a Seb who is very hungry for Fernando's attention, but now he's with a Fernando is actually now very willing to give him that attention. Fernando is constantly repeating in his head: "Don't fuck the twink don't fuck the twink don't fuck the twink", but every time they end up on the podium together, Seb always ends up being all over him and "accidentally" groping him. So Seb is still a brat but is with a Fernando who's not gonna just be cold to him but will indulge him instead 🤭

The latter is more angsty AAAHHH!! Cause its a Fernando who is in Ferrari hell and Seb who is post-catharsis. And to quote C, Fernando is like "why are you so happy??? Did you win!?" and Seb responds: "no :)" But also I am not immune to Seb being coy and playing with Fernando. He now understands why Fernando was the way he was back then because he's now gone through the same thing with Ferrari, but also wants him to stop being so gloomy and angsty about it.

Don't ask about how these AUs work, just know that they have knowledge of what their original counterparts were like so it's weird for the younger versions to get to see what ends up happening to the other, and then allows the olders to gain a new perspective instead of their biased memories(i.e.: "you're not who I was villainizing you as in my head" = both of them realize that they were building the other up as such an antagonist in their head but then, oh, he's just like me fr)(but for younger Seb, Fernando realizes Seb just wanted to be friends :( and so now he's trying to be more of a mentor.)

#i also blame claire for making me think of str/rbr seb with current fernando AAAAAHHHHH #theres just something to me about him interacting with a fernando who is less volatile and more giving #you guys are really getting the full scope of vettonso AUs from me LOL #i am feeding every possible avenue djfjkgkg #timeswap au. historical au. canon art. etc etc. #also wow did you see that i overcame my fear of drawing racesuits? LMAO #ive been avoiding them until now but was like oh uh not that bad actually #also i swear to you i have a full art style LMAO i just feel weird posting chibis so much when i never really drew them before #also these didnt come to me easily so i spent like....way too much time #and now its way later than i intended #and like im the type to not really feel bodily tired but rn i actually just feel like loopy LOL #but i cannot start chibis without finishing them. bcs ill just never finish them #for c <3 thank you for always talking w me abt vettonso and entertaining all my random AUs hehehe #and also thank you cofi for your insights as well 🙏🙏🙏 #vettonso #f1 #formula 1 #formula 1 fanart #f1 fanart #sebastian vettel #fernando alonso #catie.art. #catie.rambling.txt

jing yuan and yanqing are giving zhongli and xiao if the latter’s canon relationship was Actually fanon’s made up father figure/adopted child dynamic

#idkkkkkkkkkkkkk who looks at zx and is like 'you know what. this is a healthy parent child relationship' #like girl by fitting them into father son boxes you are actively making their relationship imbalance Worse #if you do that and dont shy away from it i respect that but if you say dad/son makes their relationship more wholesome or whatever like WHY #now i wont deny shippers might do that too but i see the dad son version so much i think im just averse to it by default #also because i think father son makes people actively Try to make their relationship something that its not and it erases a bunch of subtlet #subtleties in it. it's the nuanced r/ship -> entirely unproblematic and flavorless r/ship that i hate #also the number of people who'll block if you ship zx. like damn thats crazy you guys really think theyre father son (fake)??? #at their peak they're like. 4000 year old guys who have too much history and repression and some weird entanglement of 'nah im bothering him #too much' and 'gotta protect him w my life' complexes. and then this devolves into theyre never gonna kiss until 3000 more years have passed #listen they just Contain Multitudes idc if you dont ship it just dont make it into dad and son and we will be so gucci #jing.yuan and yanqing are like different i think mostly bc yanqing is actually like a minor and jing yuan is also a normal ish person #plus the light cone and the abouts?? yeah this is an actual like adopted parent/child thing #also good or bad news i caved and am now playing hsr. the plan is to pull yanqing and then go on infinite hiatus in the game 👍 #JWKFLJWEK i dont think theres really any draws for me besides him. personally neutral on turn based combat and the open world isn't giving #the only saving grace i have rn is 1) ive gotten to the part where bron.seele is real and man theyre gay 2) trailblazer trio 3) tall female #mc 4) everyone has way better emoting abilities than genshin 5) su.shang's really cute <3 #the story doesnt really interest me though its like cool but not mindgrippingly interesting #tbf i think genshin is the same way storyline wise (at the beginning) but the difference is that turn based combat isnt really my thing LMAO #ramblings! #zhongxiao #if you want to filter it out ??

[skunkes]

i know it's almost like the last ask but how did you go about stylizing ken/ryan when you drew him... you did that so perfectly i can't even grasp how... to stylize irl people is so HARD

I HAVE NO IDEA BC IT SURPRISED EVEN ME. even in my doodle pages i did like 3 horrific botched attempted drawings of his likeness then i snapped and the next few were so nicely stylized. insane instant change vs a gradual one. it was man lover magic. idk. i usually dont do fanart at all much less that of characters portrayed by real persons. or portrayals of real persons, period.

i usually cannot get likeness so i cant tell u. both bc it only happened that one time with that one character, and because it was driven by pure insane obsessive faggotry as i was watching the barbie camrip like 50 times a day to look at him and have several hundred images of his face saved for ref.

i think ken is also a special case bc it doesnt matter if it doesnt look exactly like mr gosling bc you're going for a mix of "defining features of the actor" + "the vibe of the character". and he has some really easy defining features.... it IS hard. ill never be able to do this again LMAO. obsession is always the answer

#skunk mail #Anonymous #the vibe of the character DEFINITELY carrying with ken too bc i suck at drawing eyes. idk how to draw eyes especially #eyes accurate to someones likeness. so i can just give him whatever's closest to Ken vs ryan...ykwim #a doodley #long post #it helps that i love long faced bitches ykwim #like in the way that i saw other ppl draw him but be unable to let go of their usual style #theres also something about like. the only other real person i try and draw is myself and ill never get that down bc i cant highlight my fl #ws i hate them. vs drawing other ppl kind of easy to be like the nose IS like this the mouth IS like this. and i like it so why wldnt i dra #it as i see it #idk. ive only ever drawn him i dont draw other real ppl 😭 #and if i did they wldnt be at the insane level ryan's ken was so i probably wld never nail it

to me scout is not conventionally attractive, to me he's got an overbite, buck teeth, a tooth gap, huge ears, maybe even acne and he's a skinny little guy

and you know what? that makes him all the more endearing to me
