a child at work asked me to draw labubu

im not that into fandom in part bc im not that into shipping, but it's easily apparent to recognize that fandom is mostly based around shipping as its own distinct hobby, & ppl who are into serious exploration of difficult topics are mostly not looking to the contraints of derivitive media for that

real love is your roommate buying a blueberry balsamic truffle and breaking it half for you to show you how strange it tastes

for men: if too much affection is gay or womanlike and destroys my manhood, can my manhood coexist with the fullness of my humanity? for women: how do i know any of my desires to be desired or to desire others isn't just a male fantasy vs a real desire of mine? is any of my sexual desire my own?

hmm. sounds like that new idea you've just had would be much better AND easier to write than the project you're in the middle of. something to think about

"Halmarut...these fashions...are...centuries...out of date!" #FFXIV #FFXIVART

i think a huge reason i havent deeply connected with most commercial english language route-based romance VNs is that they're doing the otome fantasy of dating a hot person (usually guys, and bishonen are not my thing), and i prefer the bishoujo style of batshit insane plot & inexplicable sex scenes

even though there are definitely some general character types (archetypical and aesthetic) that i enjoy more than others when done well, i ultimately just like whichever characters i find the most compellingly written the best. people do write sauceless versions of ideas i theoretically like

after finishing my madoka rewatch (i last saw it when it came out 15 years ago), i am fully like, man, that is a perfect anime where everything just works

i think making art as a career in the present day requires deep self-discipline that the vast majority of people just do not have, and making art as a dedicated hobby after another job also requires similar amounts of rarely mustered rigor, & i guess that's just sad to me, that only the exceptional-

i instinctually make a peace sign in every photo im asked to be in, but i always forget that bc my pinkie/ring finger dont have full movement, it winds up looking kind of like a weird limp gesture

ive been long against vacuum-sunctioned abs, and i must say it pleases me that modern resident evil is at least letting the muscle on its dudes in current installements look more natural, where they look more like gym bros/weight lifters than hollywood dehydrated

i think leon kennedy is made inherently more likable by how he doesn't get offended when he gets his ass kicked and becomes a damsel in distress, so he's like the platonic ideal of the man who was built to suffer

balthazar will literally assume the stance of a predator stalking his prey when i get up to go to the bathroom at night

experiencing nuclear amounts of depression, but now being like, madoka doesn't want you to be sad

(DONT REPOST) hehe i received them... i need to borrow an actual camera for product pics at some point

had it pointed out that i call things i like stupid too much, and i genuinely trace it back to zero escape fans genuinely insulting my intelligence for two years straight just bc i liked the grindhouse entry, and i had to preface every convo w "i KNOW ztd is stupid" or they would make the convo that

you could fully simulate a casino complete with virtual wagers and a chatroom and I'd still think this is less meaningfully dangerous than letting someone pay to open a crate which may or may not have a knife inside worth more money than they put in. the evil of gambling isn't in the card game

this tumblr post is iconic to my gc but it's one of those things where you can't just go around quoting "straight up fuck all art" and giggling

a huge number of the college kids where i work have cutesy blind box keychains on their backpacks, like sometimes even the fratty looking dudes have fluffy pink squirrel keychains

In 2023, a new jellyfish was recorded 812m below sea level near Japan. Her name is "St. George's Cross Medusa" and she has a beautiful red stomach in the shape of a cross, as well as 240 some tentacles. She is about 10cm in diameter :)

ive been testing beret / beanie / kerchief patterns and i think when i decide on the final versions, it wont be too hard to whip them up and start selling hats on my etsy

when 25 year olds have entire wardrobes of brand name lolita clothes, i just wanna ask what kind of job they have that both pays that well and agrees with the mental condition you need to have to want to dress like a doll 24/7 (i say this as someone with that mental condition)

watching the ugliest, worst edited, worst sounding, worst acted movie on tubi that looks like it was shot on an iphone 4: damn i wish i had the social and time management skills this person had to make a movie they're a fucking genius

i know halmarut's og name is probably going to be demeter or some shit, but i really want her to identify with her auri roots and retain her shard-specific birth name

🎨 Red Dragon Set, enjoyyyyy #farcille #wlw

im having howl watch madoka <3

"bro is this fetish art 😭" anything and everything you will ever interact with is someone's fetish. someone wants to fuck clouds. someone's horniest thought is to be a branch on a tree. someone's going to fuck a salt shaker. someone wants to fuck math. someone did. his name was albert einstein

it's wild how you can tell that Misogyny is Back because the three biggest indie ("indie" lol) darlings of the past year are all in some way about men telling women to sit down and be quiet while they fix everything. Esoteric Ebb, Expedition 33 and Hades 2 are all flavors of misogyny.

[TL Release] I'm glad to announce the release of my English TL for the all-ages 2010 horror Visual Novel "The Dark Room", a.k.a Kurai Heya. Written by Setoguchi Ren'ya (under a penname), it's a harrowing domestic horror story told via a series of police testimonies. amenowoto.blog/blog/2026-03...

i think "read classics" can contextually be kind of a bad answer for ppl looking to get back into reading but don't know what to read; while i don't think anything written post-1800 is going to be that time-consuming to parse, there are also a lot of great contemporary novels about current topics

my apartment having carpeted floors is honestly the main thing cucking me out of sewing more right now (classic "making something even a little more difficult than it needs to be kills my brain"); i need to get a huge floor mat

bought these shoes online and i hope they feel nice so i can order more from this brand bc they're pretty reasonably priced

The Bed Day 8 of drawing Ditto until I give in and nab Pokopia...

esoteric ebb has such bad color design that people calling it beautiful makes me wonder if gamers have hit rock bottom

Requiem for the dead. Nightmare for the living.

i will accept ppl saying that leon is sherry's father figure, but grace's relationship to him is more like "i'm 23 with a 49 year old work best friend"

im having a useless hagging sort of week bc i just have to wait and see about my stupid eye stuff

when people post if the Woke Left doesn't make or want you to read edgy stories, im like okay i see, you just dont read then

Wound fingering comm

i have tomorrow off instead of saturday, so that means rum and pepsi with no pants on
