Z-Rune's Doodles and Rants

I'm Z-Rune. I draw and I rant. The two of these things are woven seamlessly into this blog.

good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

[overlord-fire-bubble]

THIS ONE FUCKING WORKS. REBLOG IT.

[tiny-kt]

this for real fucking works

[scroll-of-thought]

Apparently this one fuckin works, and who am I to argue with the collective agreement of tumblr. Will report back if good things happen.

[vigaishere]

I’m very desperate right now.

Drew a blue hydra just kinda making their way.

Dude blows in out of nowhere in the original Digimon World and is never seen again. And since you never encounter any of the three “secret” ultimate level Digimon in the story, this is the only way the model has story relevance.

Sketch from this morning. It really isn’t hard to see what form of media I consumed the most as a child.

Why spread negativity when you can spread stoats

Look at that face

And those ears

He wants to be your pal

Unless you’re a rabbit or other small rodent. Then he will probably eat you (that’s Nature for ya, but everyone’s gotta eat okay)

Regardless, look at how cute

The First Snow

Don’t you just love the first snow?

Photo is my own and is not to be used without my expressed permission.

  I don’t know if I am just the typical Coloradan girl; enamored with mountains and deep carved trails leading to nowhere or if the first snow truly is adrift with magic?

There was a time when I was single, carefree, just hitting my early twenties with pupils aglow at the brilliance of…

Molly: When I said bring me something back from the beach I meant a conch shell!

Mary: *struggling to hold a seagull* Fucking say that then!

“The Hyuga clan is the strongest in the Hidden Leaf!” Hold the hell on, guys. Madara Uchiha can alter reality to where he never died, Itachi Uchiha can trap you in an eternal loop until you truly agree with him, and Shisui Uchiha can brainwash an entire community once a decade but the Hyuga clan can fuck with your Chakra if they touch you. CLEARLY THE SUPERIOR CLAN HAS BEEN FOUND.

Guys do centaurs have to eat both horse food and human food?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Centaur, eating out of a burlap sack of hay like it’s potato chips: So do you guys wanna get Chipotle later?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Centaur: *kneeling on the ground, ripping up bits of grass and eating it*

Nearby horse: *neighs*

Centaur: Well it’s easy for you to bend over, isn’t it?

Horse: *snorts*

Centaur: *through a mouthful of grass* Well goody goody for you, but some of us have two spines.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Human: Hey does somebody want the rest of my burger?

Centaur: Oh I’ll have it. I am starving.

Human: Didn’t you just eat like an entire barrel of hay?

Centaur: *snatches the burger* That was for the horse stomach not the human one. Don’t be racist, Carl.

DON’T BE RACIST CARL

[conversationswithamillennial]

That spine comment made me reevaluate my life

[what-even-is-thiss]

Two spines, two ribcages, and six limbs baby! And a tail! Four shoulders!

This is oddly unsettling.

Pegasus had no idea what he was doing when creating Duel Monsters. His game basically allowed for players to just sorta make up plays and effects as they went on. Time Wizard’s text would have had the longest damned effect if his card detailed what all was effected by what and how if his effect worked properly. God forbid you dead draw without monsters otherwise you just suddenly lose the damned game. Because all high level monsters could be summoned without issue, there was, theoretically, no point in having weaker monsters. Got a polymerization? You can fuse everything! Don’t need a resulting fusion card, unless you wanna explain to me where Kaiba got a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon card and why he doesn’t brag about owning that. Does that mean Yugi just sorta has a Black Skull Dragon he keeps lying around just in case he was forced into a team up with Joey. If you ask me, Kaiba developed Battle City rules (the rules that would become the standard within the entire universe of the show after that point) specifically to say “Pegasus, your game was such a broken piece of trash, the introduction of the God Cards would have made the game a literally one-sided affair in a heartbeat. I had to homebrew the fuck out of this game so owning Obelisk wasn’t just like owning a blue Exodia condensed into a single card. You’re a talented artist who lucked into a mystic Egyptian prosthetic. It’s a miracle this achieved the widespread play it did before I got my hands on it, and your lack of relevance in the series after your tournament even though you invented the game is a testament to how you didn’t know what the hell you were doing.”

So I only watch the dub of the anime so I understand I’m about as behind on current events in the story as I can be, but is anyone else a little bugged that U-A’s plan to protect the students better is to set up dorms when the only times the League of Villains have ever tried to attack the group has been during school sanctioned events that take place outside of the school and never at home?

The original concept for Nobodies as stated in Kingdom Hearts 2 and 358/2 Days was so interesting to me. An entire army of super powered terminal people attempting to cure themselves by any means necessary even if it results in the deaths of millions. By their nature, they can’t really be reasoned with as being devoid of emotions means the facts are laid out for them. Mind you, this would eventually be debunked, but for a series that’s entire conflict is literally Light vs Dark, Kingdom Hearts 2′s conflict was shockingly grey. You sympathize with them for the suffering they’re going through and their desperation to be complete people again, but their complete lack of remorse for who or what has to be destroyed to meet those goals births a motivation in stopping them. And it’s kinda a shame because it seems like this was a one-off. We’re back to combating the darkness again in a very very clear “Good vs Evil” struggle. There’s no sympathy for Xehanort on my end, not entirely because of what he’s done, but for his motivations. Dude’s just trying to... well... I’m not entirely sure WHAT he wants, be it godhood, a desire to see what went down in the Keyblade War or a restacking of the natural order of things so Light and Dark are truly equal/Dark is supreme. What I DO know is he’s going full-on Bond Villain in his motivations and that’s really boring compared to the moral grey area that was Organization XIII.

I’ve been a dungeon master for fifteen-ish years. And something that I try to instill in new players, especially since the first release of Skyrim, is that dragons are to be feared and respected. Spontaneous casting, breath weapons, terrible claws, tails, and flight are scary, but what I love is scaring players with how smart dragons are. In D&D, dragons are smarter than you. The only ones you’re gonna meet that aren’t are White Dragons. Traps within traps are always fun. Set up a dangerous but easy to see trap. Disarming it activates an even worse one. Cursed treasures being placed as decoys. I once had a Blue Dragon that set up his lair so the only way to physically walk into his treasure room was to get past a nest of Rust Monsters. Personally, I’m great at twisting wishes to fuck with players and I flex this muscle by making deals the group makes with dragons almost ALWAYS fuck the players over based on wording or loopholes. I do this, not out of a desire to fuck with the players or frustrate, but to cause a reaction of gravity when I bring a dragon into the mix. If they know dragons are something I don’t fuck around with, they know they’re in for an adventure of a lifetime when I mention one.

Ansem Seeker of Darkness: So I taught you how to travel through time.

Young Xehanort: Yes.

ASoD: And you used the powers I gave you to-

YX: To travel to various points in time and accomplish our goals, yes.

Xemnas: So why did you go back to twelve years ago?

YX: What?

Xemnas: You went back to twelve years ago and got your ass kicked by those three kids once each.

YX: I don’t remember that.

Xemnas: Well I do.

YX: Fine. I did it. Why do you ask?

Xemnas: I guess I’m just not sure WHY. We stood nothing to gain from you doing this.

YX: Didn’t you go off to see Sora a few years back?

Xemnas: One, that wasn’t time travel. Two, I was trying to see the kind of person Sora was.

YX: Does it matter it wasn’t time travel?

Xemnas: If you killed literally any of them, you’d have damaged the timeline to the point where none of this could have happened. You’d be prevented from possessing Terra in your old age, stopping you from splitting yourself into Ansem and I, and effectively killing whatever plan the older yet somehow younger bald version of us from instructing his heartless side to go back in time and teach you how to time travel, creating a paradox that could have destroyed everything.

YX: ...

ASoD: You really weren’t thinking that through, were you?

YX: I’m like fifteen or something, okay!? You’re the one who chose to give a damn teenager time travel! I thought it’d be cool!

I’m telling this story again b/c fuck it but anyways I was playing D&D and one of my friends went “brown bear brown bear what do you see” and on cue three of us turn to him and like, death metal screech “ALLLL”.

The dude goes completely pale faced. I saw true horror in his eyes. 

He didn’t know the joke.

So apparently dude just had three of his best friends demonically screech at him for no goddamn reason.

I do not think I will ever cause that level of sheer terror and confusion ever again in my life.
