#which is. not very encouraging

[look-at-the-stars-tonight]

I ran this morning AND wrote some AND made art and I’m so proud of me

#didn’t get any of my actual office work done oopsies #but in my defense it’s a Friday and also I did allot time for it I just ended up not doing it #anyways still proud of me!!! guys art is so so important and I know that and I preach that but I haven’t been doing it #and I just picked up a blank sheet of paper and did it #and is it good or anatomically correct? no but it was so FUN #and I’ve been working thought Tim Clare’s writing stuff and it’s been GOOD #I like this new series of exercises a lot better than the couch to 80k #they’re. the same honestly and I don’t actually care about his commentary all that much #maybe I’m just more present or more invested in them #I only ran for 15. min and then I had to call my brother to pick me up because the heat was gonna make me pass out :/ #but also I TRIED #I fucking tried today #also did u know running is utterly miserable. #runners high is def a thing #felt amazing afterward #but holy shit it’s awful in the moment #my roommate ran a 25k recently and I talked to her about it and she said it never gets better #which is. not very encouraging #but also I Want To run as much of this 5k as I can #maybe I’ll be dead after but it’s fine I have a couple days to recuperate before the eclipse #WHICH IM ALSO EXCITED SBOIT. I’ve never seen a total eclipse before #goddamit my brain jumped to too many places #delete later #anyways. if u didn’t u should acknowledge ur accomplishments today #even if they didn’t feel like much #now I’m gonna go read a 115k fanfic that’s gonna wreck me #that’s my treat to me #I HAVE ACTUAL BOOKS TO FINISH. but NO. THIS is how I’m spending my time. and it’s fine I’m valid #I’ve been talking to all the lesbians about running too #and they’ve been so encouraging too!! I love my coworkers and very distantly related coworkers sm

Prompt 163

Danny pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath, counting to ten and then letting it out. Why was this always his luck? Alright. Okay. Time to move again thanks to Dan pushing his body too far again, and ending up in his core. This was not how he was expecting to spend his days when he ghost-adopted his clone and sort-of son now actual son. Welp, he’ll throw a dart at the map to figure out where he’ll go next. 

Hm. Well, pack up Ellie! They’re moving to a place called Smallville, you always wanted a horse, right?

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #The Nightingales end up the Kents’ neighbors #Which is probably very useful when a spaceship crashes in the yard #Danny is good at hiding his powers but a baby Dan is in fact Not #Jordan and Clark are inseparable #They’re really good at Bad Cop & Good Cop #Ellie is delighted to be the older sister and encourage all their mischief #Or help them fly (again in Dan’s case) #Martha teaches Danny how to cook without accidentally bringing something to life #Dan is definitely not jealous of how much Clark talks about his new BFF Batman when he starts superheroing #Well as the older-by-a-couple-months person it is his duty to make sure this dude is a good friend for his barely-younger cousin #Somehow he ends up the inbetween of Clark’s optimism & Bruce’s pessimism #He also just sometimes Shows Up at the watchtower after the league is formed despite not being a hero

Everyone moved on but I stayed there

#sick to my stomach again. i miss him so much im about to end it all. who else was like him #like. he saw daniel struggling and would not be dissuade. all throughout 2022. scathingly defending daniel in public. #comforting him in private. reaching out to daniel again and again and again #showed up to daniels test. rested his head on the halo and encouraged him. when daniel got the seat he said #I AM VERY HAPPY FOR DANIEL BECAUSE I LOVE HIM #LIKE I DONT KNOW WHAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE DEVASTATING.

I guess all I'm going to say is that it is a bit crazy how many people are willing to bend over backwards to justify why we should be buying the new Epic Mickey game. you know?

listen I am incredibly excited for the game and I've wanted this for years and years and years. Ok. But the money is still going to Disney. It's branded by Disney, it's got their name on it, it has their characters-- they own it, and they're not letting the game get by without squeezing it for profit.

just. have some compassion. don't use your money to fund Palestinian genocide, and don't encourage other people to do it either. donate esims

#epic mickey #ok im gonna fuck off for real now i just felt like i needed to say something #for context thq nordic is producing it which is awesome i love thq. but it is not a grassroots project disney still OWNS the property #pirate it. or at the very least. Dont encourage people to buy it legally!!! come on now.

shirahama-sensei reminded me she has a thing for the teacher from pokemon s/v so i randomly went off on an au where qifrey is the professor. etc

#witch hat tag #orufrey #the first image is qifrey dressed as that guy. i'm glad she has an inexplicable attachment to some dorky pokemon man like i do #someone was like 'wouldn't it make more sense for deanreldea to be the champion' .... well no. not in my world . #it maps onto magic skill. champions aren't like the Rulers of the land they're just the most skilled at this thing #oru as a burnt out champion who's gently encouraging a kid like coco to reach him one day means a lot to me. i like pokemon narratives #agott went shiny hunting for the same thing coco had but cooler - just to impress her. she really is a pokemon rival type girl #pushing myself to the limit to prove my worth to you - to get to the summit first so i'm waiting for you.. #and then realising it wasn't just to be strong - i realised i started wanting to see your smile. i wanted you to have fun. #i think coco would defeat agott at the end of victory road and then defeat oru & i'll probably draw one last thing abt that at least.. #the image is very cinematic..the dialogue and music in my mind..I WANT TO FACE ORU!!!!!!!!!! #the super cool insanely powerful awesome champion is the spouse of my professor and he gave me advice at the beginning...no way.... #btw the elite four would be the sages which is perfect (and maybe easthies as the first guy?) evil Team Brimhats #coustas as their renegade gladion-type figure. the gym leaders would be like sun/moon and s/v combined #travelling around facing the best students from different classes - so jujy and eunie etc. #i've barely thought about 'teams' or anything bc i care amore about the narrative side of things always lol #but idk. tetia with a swirlix - eunie would be ghost type boy - riche with small things but also a ceruledge or a steelix something massiv #and brushbug would have a final form which is really long like an eastern dragon- fluffy and with wings like a fairy. It's beautiful to me #well anyway *tries to move on to the rest of life now the brief obsession has passed* #obviously oru would be fire-type tho and qifrey would be water-type and they set off together and traded their starters etc.....it goes on

pokémon really gave us passionate aging artists and Symbolism in their newest games, didn't they...

#i love them i love them I LOVE THEM. SO MUCH. #the exact dynamic that i adore... helping one another and encouraging the other's passions... GOSHHHH... #i really really r e a l l y hope we get more of them from the dlc and horizons #hASSEL IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN THE GAME. BY THE WAY. very silly art teacher... he would be friends with a flygon.. 🥹 #brassius is my favorite paldean gym leader... very obvious i know 🤲🏳️‍🌈 #aghghh i still need to do the gym leader rematches in violet. which i have been holding off from doing so brassius will always be on my map #i LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SOOO MUCH #pokemon #pokémon #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon sv #pokemon hassel #pokemon brassius #hassel #brassius #flapple #applin #sunkern #ephemeralartshipping #hassius #flygon used sketch #by the way. i love their SYMBOLISM.

i wonder if you have any thoughts about how marcille always seems to dislike it when falin wears men's clothing ( i bet she wears it out of its comfiness rather than because she prefers masc style tho, although i hope both lolol) and super short hairstyle

I wonder if it's just her interest in cute feminine fashion in general or maybe there's something more

For the clothes, at least, it's like... Marcille is probably more horrified by the clothing being actually made for and marketed to men than anything else. I bet she'd be fine if Falin wore the exact same things but they were in the women's section, or at least, branded unisex. She would be so so silly about arbitrary stuff like that in a modern setting.

The hair I think is a tangled issue of Falin's resemblance to Laios getting a little too obvious for Marcille's mental health, and Marcille's own very intense relationship with how (female) mages should treat their hair. Also, since it's mostly a joke doodle, I kind of took it as a flanderized Bad Taste Marcille being horrified by a woman with short hair because she buys into gender norms. Some people are... weird about what women do with their hair and unfortunately I can fully see how Marcille can be weird like that in a vacuum joke setting.

(there's also something to be said about how this kind of femininity policing could also be used as plausibly deniable homoerotic subtext. like, girl, why do you care that much about how cute another girl looks? hm?)

#farcille #dungeon meshi #marcille donato #falin touden #asks #i could really dig into why marcille is likely to buy into gender norms so hard but that's like #it's own longish post so #gist of it i think is that within every stifling ideology there is an autistic person who really and truly believes in it #and latches on with a passion without realizing how it harms other people who don't fit into it as neatly #conventional femininity has always been a positive and encouraging thing for marcille #so i think she doesn't actually understand that it's compulsory in a bad way for other people #and subsequently can be very pushy about it but like. completely sincerely and without bad intentions #which unfortunately doesn't make her comments less obnoxious #but! people grow and change and i think she does get a lot more mature by the end of the actual canon #marcilleposting

What’s my love language? Glad you asked, my love language is biting. But it’s cool that yours is acts of quality affirmation or whatever from some book by a homophobic pastor.

#periodic reminder that the book which originated the concept of 5 love languages was written by a Baptist pastor and is very misogynistic #and since he doesn’t believe in divorce it also encourages women in abusive relationships to stay in them #also there’s 0 scientific backing; he made up the whole concept based on his experience as a marriage counselor for couples in his church #and has no credentials as a therapist or psychologist; his doctorate is in religious education #chomp

You know who is always there to explain how Inuyasha is feeling when the rest of the crew doesn't understand?

#Inuyasha #miroku #fanart #you don't have to view the art as a ship #but it is meant that way #Miroku would be very good at encouraging him and making him feel wanted #which he needs #and who is it that always steps in to remind Miroku how much they care about him? stopping him using the wind tunnel #what if tho #original art #lavvythejackalope

every time I come across Content that isnt my own I get the thoughts and thinks. Too tired to do anything about it except this ig

#Coming to terms with the fact that I can share shitty dumb doodles and tag them even and it's not a crime #I'm not quite Ants In My Brain levels but the brains are scattered rn. #Anyway I love a relationship that is unlabeled and unknowable but gosh damn it is sincere and devoted #I was thinking of that 19 days bit. 'you're the strongest most badass little mo' or sth #ANYWAY! Not confident enough to tag this w my art tag so #Fuyuhiko kuzuryu #Hajime hinata #Kuzuhina #Attempting to go full ramble in the tags after the actual posting bc I just got shit to say I guess #Not valuable shit but shit nonetheless #They're good for each other they build each other up. Fuyuhiko was putting so much faith in Hajime from the get-go #Hajime is like dont give me too much credit no I dont wanna think about my talents. And Hiko is like nah man you're great (in his own way) #And Hajime encourages so much growth in Hiko which is WHY I think Hiko is so passionate in his loyalty #Hajime makes Fuyuhiko smile and laugh and reflect on his behaviour and talk about his experiences #They laugh TOGETHER in the middle of the killing game which is v sweet #Fuyuhiko is DESPERATE to prove that he's changed and that he wants to do good now and Hajime is just like 'okay you got it' #Like thassit. And then when they find out Hajime wasnt a talent student Fuyuhiko is like 'oh ok' #They accept each other very readily and they trust each other so much and idk maybe my brain is broken but #I FEEL like I feel a sincerity in their friendship #Like it's for life man they're already making plans for the future when they're friends (hiko especially) #Yeah I guess I'll save these tags. Idk I'm a little Ill of the Brain rn

i’m afraid there can only be one colored pencil artist on tumblr at a time. we’ll have to take away your credentials.

i think its the fucked up creature art ppl are upset about, ive gotten that reaction on some pantyhose sculptures I did that were inspired by completely different artists lol

#Little Anomaly was straight up inspired by the eraserhead baby #my creature art both drawings and sculptures are prob most inspired by early ai images #like i do get inspiration from samsketchbook just. not to the extent people seem to think? #im not sure how people think making art works #you dont just make art in a vaccum #artists get ideas and inspiration from each other and use it to develop their own unique ideas this is normal lol its how art works #i very much encourage ppl to take ideas/inspiration from my art to make their own art isnt this individualistic thing #also sometimes things just end up looking like other things kjdfhkgdjfhg #ive had plenty of art be compared to something ive never heard of before and the two are quite similar #like my snuffle sculpture got comments that it looked like snuffleupagus which id never heard of #the names sound very similar and googling it the creatures look similar also

[the-kipsabian]

a quick hot guide for people that struggle commenting on fics aka things authors love to hear and youre just over thinking it and its actually really simple to leave comments on stuff!!

key smash/emoji spam/reaction image/etc (it conveys emotions way more than you might think)

drop a line you really liked

say how much you love a ship/character and how happy you are that theres content about them

ALL CAPS ANYTHING

"i liked/loved/enjoyed/whatever it!" its better to say the most basic thing than saying nothing tbh; writers appreciate hearing anything over nothing 💜

"thank you for writing this" its short, sweet, and very powerful

think what kind of feedback you'd personally like to receive on a piece of art you made. try to translate that want into comments you leave for other people too

you dont have to be critical or constructive or anything, even if the author asks for that stuff in their notes. they'll get it from someone else, you just do you

i feel like people make leaving comments too hard on themselves, so really just make it simple. if you really dont come up with anything, just say thank you. youre there reading for some reason, tell the author what it is. fic comments dont need to be book analysis essays (tho those are. incredibly appreciated as well if you want to write one!!), writers publishing their works for free online appreciate any kind of feedback regardless if you consider it good or well written. a comment is a comment

bottom line is, leave comments on fics and other written works. its whats keeping this game alive

#feel free to add these are just the two cents in my brain rn #also absolutely reblogs encouraged #listen im not just speaking for myself i want to see every fic writer get more comments. more feedback #and dont even get me fucking started on getting reblogs on this goddamn webbed site im gonna blow up otherwise #just. fucking. support your friends. support your favorite creators. say nice shit about them and share their work #i cant believe this needs to be said in fucking 2023 god #im tired can you tell lmao #i also know im a fucking nobody talking about this but fuck if i dont who will ugh #as someone that tries their best to always leave at least a word in everything i read (which admittedly isnt a lot but still) #this is a very important topic to me. okay? okay #again feel free to add to this and its absolutely rebloggable if for nothing else than to remind people to COMMENT ON FICS #night is an absolute mess on main

I feel like Philosophy Tube's new video is like a spiritual successor to Hbomerguys's video.

#it may not be about james somerton specifically but it shows how misogyny is used to devalue womens work #and encourages men to steal from female creatives #which seems to be exactly how somerton came to be #they fit together very nicely even if they cover different things #hbomberguy #philosophy tube #james somerton
