I drew the manananggal monster high doll to sell as prints that one time at an event ^^ Though, since I was a small artist, only one person bought from me lol BUT THE EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD all of the other artist's prints were hella good as well

cherik??? maybe??

I'm finally done with this art ughhh

[cryptoriawebb]

I’ve been extremely disappointed/discouraged by Mattel and Monster High lately, so I figure it’s time to hunker down and devote more time to my own little monster series wip!

Allow me to properly introduce Cryptoria’s Web, an indulgent passion project I started oddly enough when Monster High first dropped G2. My series leans more heavily into Halloween, with a magical twist and sprinklings of Greek mythological references.

I finished this series of drawings last summer, so it seems like a fitting time to post. There are a couple of characters missing here but I haven’t finalized their designs.

There’s a lot more I can and will share later: for now, enjoy this look into my spooky-cute world~

hey friends where is that picture of boromir with the gondor flag except its a pride flag?

[lesbiansforboromir]

Couldn’t find it so I made another because you’re right that it’s a crime and it’s definitely my duty to remedy it

Thinkin’ about Turk and JD attending their first Pride parade as a married couple. One of their interns (in my head, it’s Dashana and Sam) probably invite them and JD, while very out of the loop, eagerly agrees. Turk is a little more uncertain because he’s never done something like this before but tags along anyway because he’s curious and he knows it’ll make JD happy. They don’t stay out quite as late as the kids but by the end of the day, they’re waving flags and JD probably has some kind of rainbow paint on and maybe they’ve even met a couple of other older couples who got a late start, too.

And of course, the next day they pull up to work sore and exhausted but feeling a little lighter than before. Undoing all that toxic masculinity/heteronormativity energy they absorbed (at the same hospital, no less) when they were young.

Oh god and I can see Sam live-streaming it and a couple of their coworkers (I’m thinking specifically Pippa, Francois and Park) see it and at least the first two are ecstatic for Turk and JD. Even Park kind of huffs and begrudgingly says something like “far be it from me to crush queer joy.”

Let me have my ship🤫😉🏳️‍🌈❤️

Huntrix being sent back in time, sunlight sisters immediately square up seeing Rumi with patterns and Huntrix are begging them to listen and that they’re from the future. It doesn’t work but they’re stopped by miyeong who tells the other two “can’t you see who she is?? This is definitely Celine’s daughter” and Rumi’s too shocked to even correct her

Celine’s like so offended but she can’t deny that the girl speaks like her and has her exact mannerism and she does know a lot about her

[iridescentmyths]

Celine would be like “I would NEVER let a man get me pregnant are you insane” and miyeongs like “she says that one word you always say when you think we aren’t listening”

Celine: having the same mannerism isn’t proof of anything

Miyeong: she has that one weird ass braid only you find cool I have never seen anyone like this hairstyle

Celine: you have a braid!!

Miyeong: a normal one!

Rumi realizing her hair poof thing is just a quirky hairstyle Celine likes and not at all something related to her mom

Third sister: she has a sword like you

Celine: that’s irrelevant and has no basis whatsoever

Third sister: okay true but she’s also giving off pathetic loser girl energy which is exactly what you are so counter that

Celine: I’m not a loser-

Miyeong: don’t.. don’t argue with that

[one-poor-life-decision-later]

I haven’t been thinking about them as much since I’ve been learning more about the Quarry (I’m studying all the games I’m usjng). But now I’m thinking of scenes and I need to hold them again.

My eyes aren’t great but I think I can get back in the saddle.

also whenever you feel bad for enjoying life despite the news & state of the world right now remember the dan savage quote — "during the darkest days of the aids crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon. and we danced all night. the dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for. it didn't look like we were going to win then and we did. it doesn't feel like we're going to win now but we could. keep fighting, keep dancing."

🔥 on dr cox

Send me 🔥 for an unpopular opinion

Oohoho excellent choice XD

I am sick, tired and so burned out on Cox being the series punching bag. Almost single emotional gutpunch episode - at least the most memorable ones - in both the original show and the revival revolves around Cox. I'm over it. O-V-E-R--I-T. I get it, he's a failed professional with a traumatic childhood, he's emotionally stunted and his coping habits are probably what got him into his current health crisis. He's also an asshole who does so much more harm than good, yet expects his friends and coworkers to see past the years of emotional damage because underneath he really cares and means well, right??

God, it infuriates me. I thought with the revival especially, we were finally going to see a shift and Turk would be the damaged character. The pilot was so promising but no, in waltzes Cox once again to steal the heaviest moments of the season. I get JD's return probably helped lift Turk's spirits again but at this point, they haven't worked together for seventeen years. That kind of emotional grief and weight doesn't just magically go away entirely.

Me personally, I've been dying for a darker JD-driven storyline for almost twenty years and was hoping we'd see even some of that with him now shouldering the burden of Chief. Alas, tis not to be, and now I have to brace myself for season 2/11 while Cox probably gets sicker and frequents Sacred Heart more often...McGinley is a phenomenal actor because I rarely hold this kind of animosity towards a character.

UGH.

🔥X-Men

Send me 🔥 for an unpopular opinion

I like the X-men movie theme sooo much more than what's now known as the X-men '97 theme. I'm annoyed Marvel seems to be painting the Fox X-men actors with a 90s cartoon coat of paint and calling it nostalgia. If they really cared about those of us who grew up with and loved the Fox films, they'd at least try to stick closer to a more realistic aesthetic and use the right theme song. Do you know how excited I used to be, watching the lights dim around the Fox logo, with that solo X lingering for a moment, before fading to black? When the 20th Century theme shifted slightly, and played a little of that familiar tune? For two or so hours, I'd be transported into my favorite world, with my favorite characters and the actors I both grew up with, and came to love when the younger cast took over.

Because I was born in the early 90s, I missed the initial run of the famed X-men cartoon. By the time I was old enough to watch it, reruns were airing on TV and they were never in order. I enjoyed the episodes I did see, and a few I rented from Blockbuster, but it wasn't the same. The 90s show is basically high-fantasy, or what I call "comic-booky" and I was always the kid who preferred more of a real-world setting, because it left the illusion that mutants or what have you, could exist even beyond the screen. Considering the X-men movies specifically are an allegory to LGBTQ+ rights (and speaking as an lgbtq+ person) I guess they kind of do.

TL;DR the X-men movies and its theme resonate with me and were a huge part of my childhood and younger adult years. I don't believe Marvel cares about people like me. I think Ryan Reynolds does, but he isn't at the Doomsday helm, so its anyone's guess if this will be the great sendoff we all hope. The trailer looked promising, but I've been burned before. Fuckin' Ralph Bohner.
