The egg came first

Call me Brains! Adult. Aussie. They/He. I draw and I write and am very much hoping that one day I'll publish my stories as graphic novels. I reblog things that I like and this is your warning that I indulgently reblog posts that have body horror, gore and just horror-stuff in general. Interests include: Sanders Sides, The Magnus Archives, The Magnus Protocol, The Dark Crystal, the Arrancar from Bleach (yes JUST the Arrancar), Re Animator, Transformers (mostly DJD focused DAMN I love those bois), Malevolent. Also there will be lots of me talking to myself as I drag myself through the quagmire that my path to finishing my graphic novel projects.

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

Does anyone know where to find that post that's starts as "remember when you could pause a youtube video and it would still load" and then others added on some configuration settings to try and emulate that old feature?

[lickoutyourbrains]

FR if anyone knows where to find it I'd be so grateful. I was a doofus and forgot to like/save the post after I adjusted a couple of configs and didn't register that one of them would permanently drop the quality of all the YT vids I watch to 360p.

[lickoutyourbrains]

OK THIS IS URGENT NOW, WHATEVER THESE SETTINGS ARE HAS COMPLETELY REMOVED THE ABILITY TO WATCH ANY OF DROPOUTS VIDEOS ON THEIR SITE D:

[lickoutyourbrains]

Okay good news I figured out how to get into the config stuff and managed to undo the setting that was blocking those videos.

My Sanders Sides project is finally complete!!! Fairies are kind of my thing, so I made the sides into a Royal Fairy Court. Roman is the King of the Fairies, Logan is his Royal Adviser, Patton is the Court Mage, and finally, Virgil is the Captain of the Guard and Roman’s personal Guard. If anyone is interested I will be posting each individually later tonight and talking a little more in depth about how they were made, and each with have some extra pictures. As always, thanks to my friends @bleustatic and @radioactivecitylights for all of their support, and a special thanks to @randomslasher for previewing these for me. 

I supose I should also @thatsthat24 for being such an awesome creator and bringing these characters to life, since they’ve sparked an interest in my character//costume studies that I haven’t had in years :)

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.

Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.

"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.

You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

"you can't pick and choose what you like from canon" common misconception! yes you can

[pirateherokillian]

but please do not get this very true concept confused with “you cannot pick and choose what is canon”

they are two very different things.

[joeyclaire]

thank you for this addition seriously

[the-davest-of-uncles]

I would add, "You cannot demand that other people accept your version of canon."

[bleachplease]

I noticed the thematic parallel and I find it interesting that both Kaname and Aizen see fear as an important component for a shinigami - fear as something to push you beyond your own limitations, and something that forces you to progress.

Of course, both of them uses fear in different context - Kaname means it in a moral way, Aizen means it existentially.

Still, it makes me wonder if they always agree on that topic, and it made them easier to align. Or did Aizen adapted the fear belief from Kaname and twisted the idea to fit his philosophy of evolution?

What do you think?
