When talking abt Rin’s and Saes meeting after four years, I don’t see a lot of people talk about what Sae said to Rin about Spain

Sae changed his dream to being the best midfielder, him being the first to use the comment that he was “half-baked” and that Rin didn’t understand what it was like beyond Japan.

Sae is made out to be bitter and cold to Rin, and I agree that what he said to Rin was harsh, it’s clear from the flashbacks that Sae is very protective of Rin, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to switch on a dime.

Sae doesn’t want Rin to have the same dream as him, even saying in response that he should quit if his passion for soccer was reliant on Sae and him being the best.

The impression I got from Sae is that he doesn’t want Rin to follow his path, to live in his shadow because something happened in Spain that changed Sae and he doesn’t want that for Rin. Sae is saying not to follow him, to make his own path, that the one he’s on isn’t one he wants for his brother.

(Think of Itachi to Sasuke it feels like the exact same doomed sibling dynamic)

Sae is pushing Rin away, pushing away his soccer dream bc he doesn’t want him to do it for Sae, to do it in his shadow, because the path he followed isn’t one he should see.

And when we think about why Sae teamed up with Shidou and not Rin, the simplest way I can put it is it’s bc Shidou matched Saes freak. Shidou, for reasons we don’t know yet, is just as fucked as Sae (TRUST, they r the same freak different font)

Anyways….Sae isn’t a complete asshole, I mean yeah, he’s said some rough things to Rin but I think ppl r focusing on the wrong things in the reunion of the two brothers

Either way tho doomed siblings r gonna ruin me

Ramble on the Ithaca Saga!

The Challenge

Penelope! So happy to finally see her! Absolutely love her design guys what the heck–

Penelope singing “waiting” to the same melody as Anticlea (Odysseus’s mom) makes so much sense to me. When Odysseus left, they had to support each other and it makes sense that they bonded and confined to each other a lot on top of being family.

Hold Them Down

O.O

Honestly, wow. Just. Wow. 

I love how this song addresses how much of a threat the suitors were. They would not take no for an answer. They planned to kill Telemachus multiple times. And they would have forced Penelope if they could get away with it. The Greeks had really strict rules on hospitality

Also, I would like to add that I recognized wolfythewitch’s animatic from the way they drew the food and the suitors’ noses. I don’t know why that stood out to me so much

Great detail in how Antinous died by an arrow to the throat. Very accurate

Odysseus

BOSS BATTLE!!!

The chorus chanting “O-dee-sse-us” in the background THE SAME WAY they chant “Po-lee-phe-mus” in Survive from the Cyclops Saga was absolute gold. Because Odysseus is the monster now (rawr rawr)

He just had to get up and personal in “You don't think I know my own palace? / I BUILT IT!” Drama queen

Telemachus Telemachus Telemachus ! Probably my favorite character in Epic! Love his intro.

poor baby did not get the ruthlessness memo thou

I Can’t Help But Wonder

I refuse to rank the songs of this Saga because it may physically pain me, but this song is definitely one of my top ten for the musical

Absolutely bawled my eyes out when Odysseus and Telemachus finally hugged!

Love how this song shows the (new) bond between father and son. And it’s such a sharp contrast to the previous song; really emphasises how much his family means to Odysseus

Athena! Reunion! In the words of my friend, so glad that she has a physical reminder of how much she changed and the consequences she faced for going against Zeus in God Games. Also glad that Odysseus and she got to make up, altogether it’s not instant forgiveness. They both hurt each other a lot, but they mean so much to the other. <3

Would You Fall In Love With Me Again

Again, bawled my eyes out. 

Penelope and Odysseus dueting, chef’s kiss

I love the instrumentals in this song. Everytime each character speaks, you can really distinguish the viola and guitar and their signature motifs

Penelope testing Odysseus with the olive tree wedding bed was probably one of my favorite moments. 

How I think it went down:

While I love how everyone’s like “Penelope was testing to see if it was really Odysseus”, I think it would be really funny if Penelope immediately recognizes Odysseus, but Odysseus is being depressed, so she snaps him out of it.

I also like how Penelope added "waiting~ for you" to contrast with Odysseus's "waiting for love"

I love how the last lines of the musical are “I love you”. It shows how much devotion Odysseus has and how much he cares for and prioritizes Penelope. The Odyssey could easily be argued for one of the greatest love stories, on both Odysseus and Penelope’s fronts.

I just watched the new trailer for pokemon z-a. I think pokemon got me again.

Also something funny I wanted to share: I still think about the days I first played pokemon. I think it must have been diamond or pearl and I picked Piplup as my starter. One day it suddenly evolved, I had no idea what was going on but as it evolved into Prinplup I was sad. I was thinking my cute Piplup just got ugly.

That's so funny thinking back to it.

also, I thought why not draw myself as pokemon trainer. little WIP:

Can anyone tell me how to draw lightning and tunder?

I'm struggling to draw energy lightning circling around a specific spot.

How does lightning work? It's just rigid lines but it's also not.

Edit:

figured out how to do it digitally. But how the hell are you supposed to do that with traditional mediums like acrylics or markers?

And yes, I made a short sketch to figure this out. But digitally it's quite easy. Just draw some white squiggly lines along a shape, erase some parts, repeat that process until you're satisfied and then add colored glow beneath.

Why do I keep changing the design of my characters?!

That way I'll never be able to draw a consistent comic :(

Sometimes I think it's insane what I can remember. I wanted to draw a specific screencap I saw some time ago on pinterest (probably about half a year ago) AND I STILL REMEMBERED THE EXACT IMAGE! (I didn't give up searching until I found it again) Glad I finally found it.

(And then I think about the moments I'm standing in the kitchen and don't know anymore what I wanted a minute ago)

Okay, I've been putting off my animation for this entire week and finally told myself, you need to continue.

Fighting perfectionism again and oh boy, it's a rough fight.

Okay, I don't know how far I'll get this time, but I'm working on an animation.

I got one recommended on YouTube and the song is a banger and fits perfectly with the story I want to tell and since yesterday, I can't think of anything else.

Since my goal was anyways to master animation one day, I thought I'd use this inspirational boost for finally getting something done.

I had another animation I tried to continue after I think it's about a year ago but gave up since I had no song for it and I had trouble with deciding how long a frame should last.

I already storyboarded the first 30 seconds of that animation and I'm not sure how far I'll draw but what I have makes me even more thrilled to finish the rest!

This animation will be mostly centred on my OC Decay and the main incident in my story.

What also gets me really excited about my story is that I don't even know who's good or evil anymore. I think I'm evil for creating the horrible suffering my OCs need to go through XD but it's for entertainment, am I right? :)

Currently trying to figure out all of my characters of my story. And geez, I have too many XD (12 is many ...)

Tried that already before but now I'm trying to figure out thier faces first and after that what they're wearing.

Had a couple good sketches and thought this might be a good oportunity to ramble a bit about them.

So, first off, we have the main villain. (I originally called him Shadow but I am now thinking about a different name. Currently, I wrote down Lord Astaroth Ophidian but not sure if that stays) His color scheme is going to be red and black and what I love most about him is his hair. It goes over in black mist.

I actually haven't thought in detail over his powers but he can move through shadows. Due to his hair emitting shadows, he's able to teleport through different universes. Maybe I might include something like illusions but I need to make sure they're not too similar to another ability from my cast.

I'm not entirely sure about his motives yet, but he wants to overthrow the guardians and wants world domination (I guess for now, but this might also change, as I am trying to figure out the entire story again.)

(And he's currently smiling but he wouldn't hesitate to break your neck.)

(Fun Fact: I gave him the nickname Disney Princess because of his floaty hair XD Just imagine someone walking up to someone killing and manipulating others and saying, "ey, what's up, princess?" I could already imagine a specific character doing that ... and ending up dead XD)

(And another fun fact: I was thinking about to call the villains the 'high-five' that would be so funny XD)

And here we have my sweetie, Senti. She's the second guardian, the guardian of feelings.

Her concept is really interesting. As guardian of feelings, she's able to recognise others' emotions and even manipulate them. But due to being a child, she's not able to control her abilities properly. That means she is mostly affected by the emotions of the people she looks at and feels the same.

That also means that when someone shouts at her and is mad, she mirrors the emotion and even amplifies the one it came from to be even madder (I hope you write it like that XD)

Another cute part of the design, what you cannot see in the sketch is, that her eyes are originally greyish silver but change colour depending on the emotion she's feeling (either own or perceived)

I was just sketching on paper and wondering why my lines are not mirrored on the other side. I thought I had mirror activated ...

Ah. Paper. Right.

Then I proceed with drawing but I cannot get rid of this feeling!!!

Is there a button to turn off mirroring in my head?! If yes, please tell me where I can find it!

Edit: Apparently writing this post helped. So if you're ever in the struggle to turn off defect mirroring on paper, just write a post (or I guess taking a 5 min break does the same.)

Artfight really spiked my inspiration. Disregarding the fact, I wanted to draw each day and gave up after a week due to a lack of motivation, I kept working on an old story I once came up with. (But I will still revenge any attack I didn't start 😉)

And seeing how other creators work with full passion on their work (currently vibing to the EPIC-soundtrack) fires my passion as well.

I am currently more into redesigning the about 20 characters I have for my story ("In-Between" btw.) and trying to figure out how to draw them in the scenes I had in mind.

I don't know why I feel like I need to justify. Probably for myself because I am yeeting my goal for this month into the trash. But it's okay. The main thing about this, is that I learned something. And that is what makes improvement, right?

It's crazy how some people talk about hitting their kid bc they r vaping.

Maybe find out why they're vaping? A lot of the time, it's because they are trying to cope with addiction.

I see tiktoks of people saying they'll hit their kid if they vape like??

Your giving them more bad and traumatic memories for them to cope badly with.

People these days!! Also I don't think vaping is good, you shouldn't do it, even though I do it, but there are better ways to talk to your kid rather then force and abuse.

Supernatural Romances make NO sense - A Random Opinion

Here's the thing: As much as I enjoy these concepts or tropes, they don't make sense when you take the time to think about it. Don't believe me? Let's go down the list then.

Vampire romances: The concept of a vampire romance really doesn't make sense when you take just five minutes to add all the aspects together.

Sure, it can be intriguing or whatever (especially if there’s a unique way in which the premise is handled), but let's really boil down the contents of its true implications here.

A vampire is a creature that feeds on human blood. Vampire romances USUALLY (not all the time, but usually) involve a vampire falling for a human rather than a vampire falling for another vampire.

Let me say this again. Vampire, which eats humans---then has stories where they then fall for humans.

That's like a chupacabra hooking up with a goat. What sense does it make for a creature to fall in love with something it usually tends to eat?

Even if the said predator of this relationship has no intention of eating their mate or harming them---would you, as a rational person, feel comfortable knowing that your partner has to harm YOUR species and eat them for their own survival? I highly doubt it.

"Oh, I know you kill people and drink their blood, but I know you won't kill ME! I'm just DIFFERENT--"

It literally makes no sense.

Zombie romances: Zombie romances make even less sense to me. Because now instead of a creature that simply wants your blood, it’s a creature that quite literally wants to rip your stomach open and eat your intestines like Twizzlers.

At least with a vampire, you could just have IV blood bags for them to drink to put off their thirst for a WHILE. But when it comes to zombies, they literally rely on eating the WHOLE entirety of the human.

Once again, it’s like a chupacabra dating a goat. Oh, but what if the zombie doesn’t want to eat or harm their partner?

Well, then we get into even more ethically concerning details on the human’s part. Because aren’t zombies walking corpses that eat people? And if a human is willing to date or become uh…'entangled’ with a zombie, isn’t that a form of necrophilia since the zombie is literally just a man-eating corpse? 

Sure, we could argue whether or not zombies are living or non-living. But let's be honest here: the majority of the time, zombies do not look cute. They are rotting parts of their bodies, they look dead, they smell horrible, they’re covered in blood, and sometimes missing a limb or two. If you’re unironically attracted to that in real life or something (not including those who JUST like the stories for the stories), you are mentally ill—there’s no way around it for me. You are attracted to something that looks like a corpse. That in itself is necrophilia and it’s honestly gross from an incredibly literal standpoint.

Even if the zombie were to look like some cutesy/idealistic anime character or something, it still doesn't change the fact that this thing's practically DEAD.

Sure, like vampire romances, it could be interesting depending on the intricacies of the story. But it still makes no sense when you write it down on paper. Wow, you’re dating a creature that looks dead and has to fight off the urge to eat people every single second they're on this planet. How quirky. 

Ghost romances: Ghost romances also don’t make sense on paper. Now, this one is a bit more loose in my opinion since ghost archetypes are often experimented with in terms of what they can do or not do. It’s just one of those things where it really depends on the story world and the premise it's placed in. However, from the very cultural and general stance of how ghosts work, they can’t touch anything (except when it's to conveniently scare people, so even then, their intangibility is transient) and they can’t age. 

I’m sorry, but aren’t the driving points of a romance being able to see the characters display affection and/or get old together? And if a ghost can’t touch anything, what’s the point in being romantically involved with someone you can’t kiss? I get there’s long distance relationships, but if they’re in the same room with you—why would you want that? 

Even if the subject of physical intimacy wasn’t an issue, there’s still the prospect of aging. Because if your boo (pun intended) died young and is a ghost, that means they’re physically stuck at that age forever. Even if they were to be centuries older than you, wouldn’t it be weird to see some elderly person smooching on a young looking supernatural?

Let me put it like this. A human woman at 25 years old is in a relationship with a male ghost. The said male ghost died at 30. Sure, she could get away with dating him for another five or ten years, but eventually, the human woman ages in appearance physically and looks older than her ghost partner. And if she lives long enough, she’s gonna be 80 while her boo still looks 30. You’re seriously telling me that DOESN’T look weird from the outside? Wouldn't you be weirded out if some super old person was smooching up with someone decades younger than them?

At that point, to avoid any oddities, you’d be better off killing yourself in whatever spot they’re stuck to so you wouldn’t have to worry about aging out of proportion in the relationship (and if not aging, then to touch them). That sounds like a lot more work than it’s worth.

Werewolf romances: Werewolf romances are the only sort of supernatural romance I could possibly get behind—and even then, it’s still highly dependent on how the said story chooses to handle the workings of lycanthropy. 

At least with this partner, they most likely can turn humans who won’t HAVE to kill you out of survival. You don’t have to be sorry about some super weird complex age gap. And you can touch them. Sounds like a pretty decent basis so far. BUT there’s always a catch.

A werewolf is (duh) a person who can turn into a wolf (or wolf-like monster). When it comes to these beings, it really is a roll of the dice. Because some versions will make them seem they have no thought process or control at all—whereas others give them complete control. So to call a werewolf automatically dangerous to the well being of their human partner is rather tough to say off the bat. Though, I do know that all of that fur that sheds off of them will be annoying to deal with (and that’s not even counting all of the things they might chew up---like your shoes).

And while I would be inclined to agree that being in a relationship with a werewolf could most definitely be a form of beastiality, at the very LEAST a werewolf can revert back into a human the majority of the time. So as long as you’re only doing stuff with them as a human, you should technically be fine, right?

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I still don’t find much appeal in becoming romantically involved with someone who can become some giant creepy wolf abomination, but at least there’s SOME things in there you COULD manipulate depending on which universe you land into.

Overall, while I do think supernatural romances are indeed a fun concept (and I DO tend to enjoy some of these stories), there’s no way in HECK I think they’re ACTUALLY plausible (unless you add some major--MAJOR--plot armor).

To whatever anon is asking for pathetic EuRory pics, I'm getting to them soon!!!

I've just been mega distracted playing Schedule 1, forgive me LMAO

But trust, I will open up my Lords of Chaos folder/editing project and grab the moments where he looks the most like a wet cat

Stu Macher is genderqueer, change my mind

I'm mid season 2 rn, and I'm only just watching it because I was like barely a tween when it first came out lmao (and i was an extremely religious child so the only channel i watched back then was disney) but now that I'm almost 20 I have the freedom to watch it lol.

I probably said too much here, but I'm so glad I'm not the only one who just started watching Hannibal in 2024.

Also, there could be a lot of young adults who are finally able to watch what they want without judgment from parents, but that could just be a me thing

How come we all suddenly started watching hannibal now ??? Like I finished it fews days ago and I thought I was the only one watching it for the first time ten years late but I'm seeing so many post on here of ppl finishing it now too ???? At least we can collectively cry about it ig

I had the strangest interaction with a customer a few days ago(for context, I work at a gas station/convenience store) I was bagging her items and she just goes "Oh my goodness! You have such long finger!" And like, I suppose I do but wth lol(picture of hand for additional context) She then asked if I played piano which I do not and then she went on her way, I fuckin love people

Horny ramble for Logan..don't look at me

Just- let me sit in my corner of shame.

I want Logan to hold me down by pressing my stomach to the bed as he eats me out, calling me pup. I wanna be the lady to his tramp. The domestic dog to his feral wolf. |And I want my slick to be covering his face and in his facial hair. I want him to suck on the folds and gently nib around. Want him to make sure I don't shave beforehand coz he likes it natural.

I want Logan to hold me under my chest, my legs pressed over his thighs, spread and having to be held by the back of my thighs to keep them up in the air as he fucks me. Using me like a sex toy. I need him to rip my underwear from the band trim from the gusset, fabric moved to the side whilst he's clutching the ripped trim for security, to pull my hips closer as he fucks deep into me, already pushing atleast 3 loads of cums back in, using his other hand to smear his cum on my clit.

Need Logan's balls slapping against me as he puts me in a mating press and grunts and growls. Need him to rest his cock on my face and push my head to nuzzle against his balls and telling me to kiss them and say thank you as he smokes a cigar because without em I wouldn't get the rounds of cum he has. NEED HIM GOING "ATTA BOY" WHEN HE DOES!!!!!!!

Just....I need Logan

Shoutout to my older sister who called me from the living room so that she could check what kind of gay flag her webtoon character had on their phone.

It was gender neutral? if you’re curious

In her own words “There’s too many flags to remember them all, everybody’s just gay”

Skott is just a pathetic loser version of Sampo

If Moze doesn't like terrible food combos which scare the fuck out of Jiaoqiu I'm going to-

Dr ratio fanarts are either really horny or just shitposting

quick ramble - but just letting you guys know - it's mee! im in the process of a gentle rebrand?

i love bitingrose, the user's been around for years genuinely but im testing out this out right now bc i really feel the need for change 💀

we'll see if i go back go the og or if i switch it up a second time im just seeing what will stick

I NEED THIS LOSER BADLY. I’ll write stuff abt him…soon kinktober is alr tearing me to shreds.

Hear me out on Shiguang as ‘My love is sick’ by Madds Buckley PLEASE

I will never shut up about how Horimiya handled Miyamura’s experience with bullying and mental health issues. It’s so realistic and relatable. The scene with him and his middle school self where he is terrified of just how far gone his young self is was maybe my favorite scene in the whole series. I need more media to talk about mental health and the recovery from that more openly and I feel Horimiya does an amazing job at that.

GET THATCLONE OUT IF MY BRAIN (I’m extremely hyper fixated on him 😭)

(I just need this image for a rentry but I might as well make a silly post out of it)

Sometimes I like making tumblr posts asking about stuff instead of googling things because you all can’t escape the customer service hell if you tried

i’m rereading some of the earlier bsd chapters and i really miss when it felt like a silly little dark humour sitcom revolving around the ADA and the PM. i realize that it’s not going to be like this forever and that asigiri is just building tension for the fight with fyodor, but i really want some of the silliness back.

lowk forgot i had tumblr…whoops

anyway, i was thinking about doing a new theme cs I’m slightly bored of this one 😓😓! i was also thinking abt writing fics, but i’m worried I wouldn’t portray the characters correctly. having other people read my work is terrifying to me, so there’s that too. i might spam post because I haven’t been on here in so long 😭
