Studio of the Ink Dancer

Please, step into my studio, do mind the ink though, sometimes it gets a little testy and it would be a shame to have to clean up after careless guests. *Muse art incoming, when the mun gets a chance*

This is one of the most adorable Pride posts I’ve ever seen

[granola-peasant]

What I love about the imagery of the turtle is that it’s sending the message that they are protecting themselves by being in their shell. It’s not about deceiving straight people (like we are often told), but about the turtle’s own safety. They’ll come out when the time is right and they feel comfortable. 💕🏳️‍🌈

[captainlordauditor]

some iconic dialogue that sounds like its from the great canon of literature but are actually from memes

I will face God and walk backwards into Hell

“I’ll do whatever you want” “then perish”

I have been through hell and come out singing

feel free to add more!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

There are no gods here

Do I look like the kind of man who dies

God’s dead and soon we will be too

I thought there were no heroes left in this world 

[helloitstrash]

• you kneel before my throne unaware that it was built on lies

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Impudent of you to assume I will meet a mortal end

This is hell’s territory and I am beholden to no gods

Bury me shallow, I’ll be back

[hubriscomplex]

- take this gift, for the gods surely won’t

[unheavenlycreatures]

God wishes he were me

One day, you will be face to face with whatever saw fit to let you exist in the universe, and you will have to justify the space you’ve filled

Odin, six months ago; something Bad is coming in the next year

Me; ok what

Odin; Bad. Will change things.

Me; ok what is it

Odin; you'll see

Odin now; told ya

Me; fuck's sake you coulda just said 'plague'

[fyrecrafted]

I kept getting tower and world cards almost every tarot... DID NOT THINK THIS WAS WHAT IT MEANT

[systlin]

Me, for the last year, seeing Uruz reversed come up in rune readings about the future; wait so like am I gonna end up in the hospital again? And some sorta big world shift at the same time? Shit

Me now; OH THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD GOT IT

[asthrapolaris]

I'm very new to this, but the runes about a personal project said that things would change and everything would be paralyzed for a while in many readings! And now I'm like oh, that what it was about hum?

[systlin]

Welcome to the heathen feel of “Like, yeah we can see the future, but often in the least helpful and most annoying ways.”

[lizardsfromspace]

What dark secret a small town is concealing, by region:

Northeast - ancient cult from old country

Midwest - a monster betwixt the corn

South - that reclusive family no one dares speak of

Southwest - experiment gone wrong

Northwest - eerie unsolved murder

[lizardsfromspace]

Alaska - something buried under centuries of ice, rising when the days draw short

Hawaii - a curse in the lava the mainlanders are too arrogant to fear

Florida - no one in Florida keeps their fucked up shit a secret

Concept: fairy tale where the wicked step-parent (who is of course also some sort of warlock) transforms the princess into a swan, as one does, but rather than running off to mope around in a lake and be beautifully tragic, the princess decides to stick around the palace and cause problems on purpose.

[alarajrogers]

It is a beautiful day in the palace, and you are a horrible swan princess.

[kyraneko]

Task 1: You are being kept in a lake on the palace grounds. Encourage the other nobles enjoying these same palace grounds to let your captor know that this was a bad idea.

Task 2: You are now being kept in the dungeons. While a situation much more befitting your status and abilities, it’s cramping your style a bit by preventing you from biting your captor in the ass. Break out of the dungeon, making it unfit for use as a dungeon on your way out.

Task 3: You have escaped into the kitchens, and the servants are preparing a feast for the ball tonight. You don’t think there needs to be a feast tonight, do you?

Task 4: You have gotten upstairs to where the bedchambers are; there are many guests staying here, and they all have so many lovely things. Back when you were a princess you often wished to shred uncomfortable dresses, throw pinchy shoes down the privy, and borrow jewels that weren’t your own. Have fun now.

Task 5: You’ve found your captor’s secret chambers with all his magic stuff. Somewhere in here is a spell that will let you change from swan to human at will. While you’re finding that, there’s a whole lot of other stuff here that could be fucked up, with entertaining results.

Task 6: Your captor is holding a ball where your beloved is going to be stolen from you. You don’t see any reason for this ball to proceed as planned, do you? Look at all the pretty candles and all this nice flammable shit, for starters. Also, bite your captor in the ass.

Bonus: The ballroom is filled with people of all appearances, races, shapes, sizes, types. Nobody is identified except the wicked sorcerer. You can choose anyone to be your beloved, and declaring your love to them will open the royal wedding end scene.

Double Bonus: If somebody objects at your wedding, you can turn into a swan and melee-fight their ass right there in the aisle. You can then turn human again and strut your ass back to your beloved, who is in utter awe of your shapeshifting and ass-kicking abilities alike.

I have never wanted to be a game developer so much in my LIFE.

[weaver-z]

The Sith would be way funnier if they were Opposite Jedi but like… REALLY and LITERALLY the exact opposite of the Jedi. Not only is sex allowed, celibacy is BANNED. Jedi can’t use the force for personal reasons? Sith use the force to make PB&J sandwiches every lunch break. Jedi can only have one Padawan at a time? Bad news, I’m a fucking Sith and I have a gaggle of ten radical, problematic orphans who are my personal apprentices and they all rock. 

[greedyfather]

i’ve never seen a star wars movie but hearing that the good guys can’t have sex is the funniest and most absurd thing. darth vader is wanted for the crime of being a thotty. if he breathes thru his space helmet he a THOT

And when a six-foot tall Persian priestess with a fucking GOLD EYE speaks, you know you damn well listen to what she has to say.

Finally had a tiny break time.

So…. Anyone still up for golden eyed six foot tall priestess??

AU where people age until they reach 18 and then stop aging until they meet their soul mate so they can grow old together.

[australian-government-deactivat]

i’d never die

[verylargetomato-deactivated2021]

but imagine already being in a relationship at 18 and then at 22 you’re both sitting there looking at each other and realizing that you both haven’t aged a day

[deactivated01847192184-deactiva]

imagine platonically moving in with ur best friend at 18 and then realizing a few years later that you’ve been aging together

[sadgaywerewolf]

imagine purposely never finding your soul mate so you can reign eternal

[airtrafficcontroller]

holy shit i think we may have stumbled upon the greatest romance/adventure concept ever

[enlistedjess-deactivated2017010]

What if you killed your soul mate so you’d make sure you never aged.

[dissypoo]

This just makes me really want a story where the main antagonist is someone who has been killing their soulmate for centuries whenever they find them, and the main protagonist is the newly re-incarnated version of their soulmate

[rainyfrogs]

okay but you guys dont realize the potential.

imagine meeting a handsome young man who’s seen as a player and sleeps around a lot and you notice a scar along his arm and ask where he got it. he just look down at his feet and said “i used to be a soldier in world war one”. He’s been sleeping around and hooking up so much cause he’s been trying to find his soulmate for years but hasn’t yet.

Imagine going on your first date with someone and you really hit it off and then the next day you notice a grey hair and call them on the phone excitedly screaming and they both just sit on the phone hysterically crying and laughing.

Imagine sitting in silence with your partner and having them say out of the blue “i feel so old when im around you… but… in a good way” and thats the moment you know that they love you.

imagine having a dog thats 18 in human years and it starts to get gray patches of fur because they loves you so much.

imagine noticing you look older and freaking out but then stopping and getting super confused because “im not dating anyone right now…. which of my friends is my soulmate… WHICH ONE IS IT!?!?!?” and then they hopelessly date everyone they know in order to find out which one it fucking was. it was the pizza delivery guy the whole time. they went on 27 dates that all ended in confusion and heartbreak and it was the god damn pizza delivery guy from a month ago the whole fucking time. 

imagine someone dating their partner for 5 years and then having an affair. only after the affair do they start aging.

imagine nuns who start to age after they ceremoniously “marry god”

imagine people getting surgeries to look older cause they dont want people to think theyre alone.

imagine having parents who wont let you date anyone but they start to notice you aging and then you have to have a terrifying “surprise im gay and i have a boyfriend haha oops” conversation

imagine seeing couples with teenage kids and the couple both looks 18.

i could go on for hours.

[the-anime-man]

imagine immortal aromantics/asexuals

[geekygoddess30-deactivated20201]

[outlanderalien]

I love this concept because it implies that in this world ageing is celebrated and desired instead of resisted. Imagine beauty standards in this world, grey hair is proudly undyed, every new wrinkle is considered beautiful or elegant.

Imagine the romantic implications as well, that finding your soul mate and being with them, means you effectively agree to become mortal, and therefore agree to die just to be with them.

Imagine someone who has many friends, but struggles to find their soul mate, and gradually watches all of their friends grow old and die happy with their partners.

Imagine two best friends who are the same age, but find their soulmates at different times, so now one likes to pretend they’ve lived longer and are older and wiser while poking fun at their “silly naive” young friend. (e.g. “oh you younguns wouldn’t understand, it was before your time” “we are literally the same age”)

[incendiaglacies]

@agentmarymargaretskitz this is like the jackpot of soulmate tropes!!!

the politics of light and dark are everywhere in our vocabulary…psa to writers: subvert this, reveal whiteness and lightness as sometimes artificial and violent, and darkness as healing, the unknown as natural

[heroes-get-made-deactivated2022]

Some ideas for bad things that are white/light:

lightning, very hot fire

snow storms, ice, frost on crops

some types of fungus/mold

corpses, ghosts, bones, a diseased person

clothing, skin tone, hair, etc. of a bad person

fur, teeth, eyes of an attacking animal/monster

bleached out deserts, dead trees, lifeless places

poison

Some ideas for good things that are black/dark:

rich earth/soil

chocolate, truffles, wine, cooked meat

friendly animals/pets/creatures

a character’s favorite vehicle, technology, coat, etc.

a pleasant night

hair, skin tone, clothing, etc. of a good person

undisturbed water of a lake

the case/container of something important

valued wood, furniture, art

velvet

Think to burn, to infect, to bleach vs. to enrich, to protect, to be of substance.

[authoratmidnight]

Also, light is blinding and it can be deceptive (the phrase ‘trick of the light’ exists for a reason) it can scorch and sear the darkness is cool, it can shade you and protect you, esp on a hot day, it’s a source of relief. the shadows can hide you from something or someone who wishes to do you harm, the dark can protect.

[gahdamnpunk]

The police caught and arrested him. But despite the heinous and violent crimes he was credibly accused of, he was released without bail. He was free for three months AFTER police discovered  that he was abusing 12 underage black girls.

Chrystul Kizer was raped and trafficked by this man for years.

She’s now facing life in prison for defending herself against her attacker.

Free Chrystul Kizer!!!

Pls spread help spread the news!

SIGN THE PETITION

[jewblog]

this isn’t an old post; the screenshot has a typo: her hearing is scheduled for february of 2020 and if she is convicted as charged she will spend life in prison. she will likely never be granted clemency. her case and the court are far more stacked against her than they were for cyntoia brown, who regardless still spent 15 years in prison.

please sign the petition. 

[lividlovers]

STILL RELEVANT!!!

[youthincare]

not only petition, but fucking RIOT. THAT COULD BE YOU OR YOUR SIS OR YOUR MOM. It’s also a real life human being who’s about to spend time for protecting herself.
