I did such a weird process for this one. I painted the background in gouache, and did the character in ink. Then I printed them onto transparent sheets & did painting overtop/underneath. It was so much fun - definitely want to experiment with this more!

Murderhelion Week - Acts of Affection / Vulnerability / Watching Media Together
Murderbot watching World Hoppers with a drifting, badly damaged ART-drone, and ART watching Timestream Defenders Orion while cleaning out Murderbot’s alien infected code. @murderhelionweek
I deeply appreciate that roughly 70% of SecUnit's strategy in any given situation seems to be "find a bot that seems nice and ask for help"
i cant get over the king charles portrait. they made that thing to age in his place. that painting hangs in the house of a too-friendly family you find in the post apocalyptic wasteland who inexplicably has a ready supply of fresh meat. if mario jumped into that painting he wouldn't find a charming platformer he would be flayed and hanged like a medieval criminal by an unseeable force in a droning red void. that painting is a color blindness test for people who work in IT but believe in the divine right of kings. that painting is going to weep the sequel to blood. after he dies charles is gonna crawl outta that thing like sadako.
this painting is what ultrakill speedrunners see when they close their eyes. if you showed this to the romans who flogged jesus theyd think this painting is excessive. this painting is the blood cavern from space funeral. it's the color out of space.
jegus tapdancing christ it is actually that bad
gonna open a store called DO IT! that sells hair cutting scissors and dye, diy tattoo kits, and power tools. it's only open between midnight and 5am.

I think the Jedi council should have at least considered sending obi-wan over to Dooku to be like “yes hello I am here for sith training” just to see what would happen
Like, we know from the rako hardeen arc that he’s a good enough actor to pull this off. Combined with Dooku’s clear affection(?) for him, I think the council would have most of the separatists’ top military secrets in a month, max
I mean, even if Obi-Wan got caught transmitting information
Dooku:…what are you doing
Obi-Wan, panicking slightly: I’m a double agent. Passing them bad intel.
Dooku: I didn’t ask you to do that
Obi-Wan: …i’m taking initiative????
Dooku:
Dooku: We’ll it’s about time SOMEONE around here did
Palpatine: There have been far too many “coincidences” with the Jedi lately. The information your new apprentice is transmitting is accurate, I’m sure of it.
Dooku: My boy would never do such a thing
Palpatine: Your b— you know, the whole “no attachments” is a Jedi thing but I think we need to have a talk
Let's just add another layer to this cuz I bet that LIKE the Raako Hardeen incident no one tells Anakin anything.
So we also have an unhinged (but in the OTHER direction) Anakin chasing Obi-Wan across the galaxy going: 'Come back to the light side, Master, you're my brother!'
So now Palpatine's dealing with the unexpected headache of his planned future apprentice being too busy trying to de-sithify the not-actually-a-sith!Obi-Wan to get sithified himself.
Anakin suddenly throwing himself hard into being the perfect Jedi to guide his master back to the light is hilarious
Schoolwork - Second Burial
Well, this was real pain to fit on tumblr. Sorry for that stupid format, could not think of better way how to do it.
Anyway, a little story, as i promised:
After WWII, when Iron Curtain was built and military training zones established here in Böhmerwald / Šumava, many villages were wiped out, their houses used as training targets for tanks or just destroyed, so people running away on west could not hide in them etc. In one of those destroyed villages there was chappell with bodies of glassmaker family. Soldiers got an order to clear out the chappell, so it could be used as observation post. So six soldiers pulled out corpses, rob them of family jewelry and - because they were bunch of drunken bastards - proceed to dance with them. At the end, they propped them against the wall and shot them to pieces. But strange thing is - not long after that, one of the six soldiers died in military accident, and till half of the year, remaining five soldiers died of unknown disease. Probably from poison transferred from corpses.
I liked how poe-ish that story was, so i decided to make my own little version of it.
Meiji period fashion was some of the best in the world, speaking purely from an aesthetic standpoint you can really see the collision of European and Japanese standards of beauty and how their broad agreement even in particulars (the similarity between Japanese and Gibson girl bouffants, the obi vs the corset, the obi knot vs the bustle, the mutual covetousness for exotic textiles, the feverish swapping of both art styles and subjects) combined and produced some of the most interesting cultural exchange we have this level of documentation for. Europeans were wearing kimono or adapting them into tea gowns, japanese were pairing lacy Edwardian blouses with skirt hakama and little button up boots. haori jackets with bowler hats and European style lapels. if steampunk was any good as an aesthetic it would steal wholesale from the copious records we have in both graphic arts and photography of how people were dressing in this milieu.
«The botany professor,» from Kkokei Shimbun, October 20, 1908. she's wearing a kimono blouse or haori, edwardian skirt or hakama, gibson girl bouffant, a lacy high-collar blouse with cravat and brooch, and a pocket watch with chain
1910-1930 (Taishō era, right after Meiji, which I should have included in my OP) men's haori with western lapels
I have a love for both kimonos and bustle dresses, so I love seeing how the two fashions influenced each other over this period. And thanks to Pinterest, I have pictures!
Victorian tea gown that clearly started as a kimono. It still has the long furisode sleeves, but now they’re gathered at the shoulder and turned around so that the long open side is facing the front instead of the back. Similarly the back is taken in with curved seams to fit the torso and pleated below that for the skirt.
Woodblock of a woman in a a bustle dress made with colorful patterned fabrics and examples of how a woman could style her hair with it.
More prints to showcase hairstyles, two women wearing western wear and two women wearing kimonos.
This next one’s modern, but it involves hoopskirts so I’ll add it in because it makes me so happy. There’s been different styles of wedding fashion that take kimonos and give them a more modern look. Often this involves taking a kimono and then cutting and resewing it into a new dress. Very pretty, but it can’t ever be worn like a traditional kimono again. But now there’s another trend where the bride wears a hoopskirt with a white skirt, then you take the kimono and drape it on. The back of the kimono covers the front of the dress, the long sleeves fall across the sides or the back, and you still wear an obi with it. The result is pretty and the kimono itself doesn’t have to be altered at all.
And because you mentioned steampunk, I have to add in these two:
Personally I’m a big fan of Taisho Meisen kimono, which are what happen when the Japanese textile industry abruptly gets access to aniline dyes, new spinning and weaving technology, and the concept of Art Deco:
The Millennium Muses
Written back in May of 2015, this is how I imagined artists would invent muses for modern endeavors.

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency
Everybody || Backstreet Boys
Just occurred to me that some of you may have never seen this music video. They had absolutely no reason to make it the way it is but damn they went hard.
One of the backstreet boys in 1997 : no I’m TELLING you, monster fuckers are the future.
Steve Harringron in season 1 of Stranger Things is the most character. He did some bad stuff and immediately went "Aw, beans. That wasn't cool. I better go apologize" at which point The Plot he'd been blissfully unaware of for the entire show immediately tried to eat him.
Steve: "Hey Nancy I wanted to apologize for--"
Nancy, cocking a gun: "Wall's haunted."
Do y'all ever think about how wild it is that for years there's been this heartbreaking incurable disease that kills thousands of cats. And Gilead Pharmaceuticals found a drug that treats it but won't actually sell it to veterinarians because of patent bullshit? Because I do.
Anyways. I'd never advocate for acquiring drugs illegally to save your cat's life. Which is why if your cat has FIP you should check out the organization I've put in my tags. So that you remember to avoid getting GS-441524.
Capitalism is evil in general. But capitalism in medicine is cartoonishly monstrous.
Cat owners are resorting to China’s underground marketplace to buy antivirals for a feline coronavirus.
