“And you could be grateful, you know. I did save your life.” “ I am grateful,” I almost uttered, but the words were caught in my throat. I hadn’t thought that I was going to walk away from my attack, and that hadn’t necessarily disappointed me.

Burn hates pink

Burn hates pink

Light pink, hot pink, fluffy pink, any of it, don't bring it near her 

And not because of FEMALE CODING, SEXISM, GENDER STEROTYPES OR TOXIC MASCULINITY

Just because, Pink was the color of burnt skin, of the peeling trails left on her fingertips, the shade the blood red sun turned the sky when her mother's lab was set aflame, it was the color the water turned when she washed her brother s blood off her skin, the shade of scarlets unmoving lips as she whispered pain into burns head for the first time. The color shirt Lilly was wearing the day she found her sobbing and screaming on her bedroom floor, the shade riders baby skin was underneath the scrapes from where the breakers had tried and suffocated him in gravel and dust. Pink was the color her mother painted the room to make her laugh when she bedridden. Pink was the color her brothers shreded heart looked like from the raftors. To Burn Pink was not just the color of feminity, of rushing blood, of pain. Pink is the color of loss.

This is a birthday present I drew for my friend. I drew her as a jellyfish person based off of the flower hat jellyfish.

[cherry-bubbles-blog1]

This was something my friend did for art class. And I wanted to share (?)

[633-befuddled-bees-deactivated2]

Here’s a quick phosphophyllite

Why is your art so good!!!!!

Bitch ;D

WIP of Diamond from Land of the Lustrous!

[ae-quorian]

I drew my self insert OC again. Like one of my other OCs, they are also a jellyfish person. I’ve been calling my jellyfish people “acalephians”, from the outdated classification for jellyfish.

[tortoistor]

movie tropes that will never get old to me:

a thing happens + two people exchanging money in the back

fourth wall breaking

“give up all your weapons” and that one guy that spends the entire evening taking his weights worth out his pockets

*a terribly loud crash* meowing/ car sirens heard offscreen

alternatively: a terribly loud crash and one of the characters going “oops” in the most casual voice

“fuck you” “well if you insist”

[nerdgasrnz]

#alternatively alternatively: *terribly loud crash w/ sirens and cat screeching*#person: *off camera* ‘I’M OKAY’ (via @zenlida)

[count-di-luna]

character being all “you expect me to do X?” Gilligan Cut to character doing X

[susiephone]

the squad gets captured and interrogated separately, and they’re all telling equally terrible, completely contradictory lies

people completely missing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them

alternatively, people absolutely seeing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them and just not giving a shit

bonus points if it’s a beleaguered minimum wage employee who just goes about their business like “yep same shit as always”

someone pretending they don’t know another character is eavesdropping, only to casually reveal at the end of the scene that they know (*leaving* “tell tom that he can come out now” *tom drops from the ceiling in spy gear, irritated*)

choosing to deal with the villain by just leaving them alone in a room with another character

the “hands go down” trope

example: “any questions?” *everyone’s hands go up* “…that AREN’T sarcastic?” *everyone’s hands go down*

[neonprotagonist]

how could all y'all forget “ACT NATURAL!”

[beradan]

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

These are all great but let’s not forget two characters giving extremely biased flashbacks to the same event that each paint the other as an incompetent loon

[stunt-muppet]

i would like to respectfully add: scenes where a character walks into a room, sees something scary, and turns around and walks out with no reaction or change of expression

Here’s a picture I’m working on of one of my OCs. Her name is Lina, and she’s a jellyfish person

[633-befuddled-bees-deactivated2]

Here’s a WIP of a drawing of one of my OCs (Although, truth be told, they’re more of a self insert to the universe I’ve created for my other OCs than an actual OC)

[633-befuddled-bees-deactivated2]

And it’s done! This is one of my OCs. They’re pretty much just me, but as someone from the world of my other OCs
