pampered boyfriend

Fic idea

Dean goes to crash Sam's wedding because he found something shitty about Sam's fiance and is trying to save his baby brother

But he crashes the wrong wedding

"Don't do it! She's not who you want!" Dean yells the second he kicks open the Chappelle doors

Castiel doesn't wanna marry so and so, has been trying to get out of this arraigned bullshit for years

Sees a crazy dude crash his wedding and literally jumps at the opportunity. Doesn't think, just looks at his dad all "He's right father. She's not. I'm gay for that man!" Really awkwardly then runs to Dean, puts all his faith into this and jumps into his arms

Dean has no fucking idea what he just did, but the guards are behind him and now the groom in his arms is going "Run! Run! Run!"

And now Dean is running to his Impala, stuffing Castiel in it, and speeding away with him because fuck his life

And now Castiel is stuck in a road trip to save this random guy's brother from a sham marriage

i love the enthusiasm, but mike was canonically specifically styled to look like eddie per the stylists who work on ST, not to mention them both being party leaders and dms. mike admired eddie and looked up to him. meanwhile gareth has the light brown bowl cut like will, and he doesn’t take the dm role up, much like will rarely takes up the dm mantle in the boys’ party.

and I love your enthusiasm anon. It got me in a thinking mode. 

Since you seem to like the Mike-Eddie parallel so much, let me give you a better nugget : Eddie plays the guitar and Mike has the guitar. 

you are suggesting HAIR, DM, Mike's admiration for Eddie makes for a better case for eddie and mike parallel. so let me address them one by one. reasons why i don't agree with it:

Hair theory. Let's just say, hair is the dealbreaker. The scene where Chrissy is unable to remember Eddie as he used to have short hair. So his hair theory is inconclusive. 

Also, I am sorry but I never came across such a specific mention by the creators about Eddie and Mike being canonically similar. Not even Stylist, I looked it up and I didn't find anything. This is from the official stylist and she doesn't mention the eddie and mike connection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI3j673h0GE&t=37s

2. Mike as DM. Let me remind you of s3 which specifically showed Will as the DM. Him and eddie take their d&d way more seriously than any other party member. reflected in their over the top d&d setup and prep for it. (Will must've broken his back, the whole season 3 he was only setting up the damn game) Mike on the other hand is easily distracted by phone calls and Letters(el suggests will may have replaced him and even after they win at eddie's satanic campaign he seems distraught). His commitment is more towards Will than the game itself. so i don't see him and eddie on same plane there. not questioning mike's proficiency though.

3. Mike admiration for Eddie and looking up to him: Just think about it this way. Mike is shown to have a tiny crush on Eddie.

I don't know why they would choose to show this, unless he is a narcissist who likes himself or people like him or maybe simply because Eddie is nothing but another version of Will. 

If you recall Will and Eddie have been aligned together since S4 aired, see the old posts of 2022 and I pinned this parallel because I knew some would argue.  

Will & Eddie parallelism

focus on Nuances: in the context of d&d. (Bear with me)

Authoritative mannerism of eddie and will. 

Eddie: "it's the championship game?" "Can i level with you"?

Will: “is it? is it early Michael?” 

2. Will and Eddie’s speech: Words of encouragement to become heroes. 

3. Mike's Act of Pacification : its a rarity to see Will pissed. Angry Will also overpowers Mike within fragments of seconds

During their fight Mike was defensive and right after will left He went out of the way to fix things. He does not enjoy angry will. Apologises to will and goes out to find sub for eddie.

4. Missing Member: Eddie and Will are both pissed about a missing member. And lash out at mike for ruining the party. 

5. The Erica connection: s3 shows dustin and lucas giving Will's D&D to Erica. and right after that s4 she joins the hellfire where eddie is the DM. its a little telling.

i was really inspired and wanted to practice animating so!! ive been working on this on and off for a few months c:

A friend of mine just sent me some of your art tips and I loved them! Since I was a kid I could draw, but it was always a straight up copy of already finished drawings simply for the pure joy of drawing, but now I wanna draw on my own and I'm finding it very difficult! I'm still trying to figure out an artstyle, and I practice things alone (lips, eyes, nose) and they seem to be okay, but when I try to put them together on a face, it doesn't work, like the eyes is not the previous eyes I've been practicing and such. Do I need to practice the face as a whole? Am I doing something wrong?

Awesome, I’m so glad you like ‘em! Ah shit, look what you’ve done, you’ve made me practice anatomy (jkjk this is affectionate!)

In answer, yes absolutely you gotta practice the face as a whole! Don’t worry, most people start from just practicing individual facial features on their own! It’s super easy to tunnel vision! Those studies will also help you going forward, so it’s not time wasted!

A general disclaimer before I keep going: I went to school for animation and never took a proper anatomy class, so these are all tips and tricks I’ve either picked up along the way or figured out on my own. Take them with a grain of salt!

Ok first I think everyone’s seen a diagram of how to measure where facial features sit on the face so I’ll just copy/paste an image to get that out of the way. ***one thing to keep in mind is how the face is divided into thirds:

**** Important Note: Spend some time studying the skull too! For simplicity’s sake, here are some basic landmark parts of the structure you should be aware of:

Next, there’s three methods of drawing the head that I frankenstein together:

1) The Loomis Method is I think the easiest to start playing with head/face perspective drawings. Using the above method of dividing the head into thirds, we can put that on this super simple head model and rotate it in 3D.

Here’s a great video by Stan Prokopenko that goes into more depth on the method!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM

2) For musculature, I like referencing the Reilly Method because the round shapes it uses help me understand how different parts squish into each other.

3) For painting/rendering ref, I really like using the Asaro Head because it really helps as reference on how lighting breaks up the planes of the face. (I’m still a ways away from publicly posting most paintings I’ve done tho) No demo for this one because painting takes me 84 yrs

EDIT: This isn’t my painting btw

*** One crucial thing I’d want to point out is that you should also practice drawing heads without painstakingly following measurements and guidelines. 1) everyone’s head/face are different and will have different proportions and 2) you want to get used to drawing without limiting yourself to one method as a crutch! These are all just tools to help you on your journey!

4) As far as simplifying the face goes, the pretty common way I’ve seen/used is to divide the head into two sections: the eyes and brow area, then the area below the cheekbones. This is where the bean face that everyone was mad about in 2015 comes from lololol (we’ve moved on from bean-hate, right? pls?)

One last note: Most of what I’ve posted on my blog has faces with floaty features, so don’t reference my stuff for your own good LMAO

Hope this helps!

huh, i can't stop thinking about the fact that when yby was waking wkx up, he said that no one could die before him and surely, that includes wkx

and yet, mere moments later, he tells wkx that he has a way to save zzs life but at the cost of his[wkx] own life and he definitely knows that wkx would say yes

those moments are the only proof i need that yby did something to make sure that wkx would not die in the process (and that wkx is very much alive in that bonus clip and not some hallucination) despite his words earlier and here's the reason why and think about it: yby, out of everyone there knows what it's like to live an immortal life without his zhiji[rcq] (i can't even remember if that was canon or not but regardless, rcq was someone important to him) and surely, he isn't cruel to subject zzs to the same fate, right?

he isn't. hence the reason why i wholeheartedly believe that the bonus clip wasn't just zzs' overly vivid imagination and delusion.

though, i do wonder what was going on in his head before those moments. when and how did he figure it out to make sure that zzs would not be living the same life he did? he knows that zzs would not live without wkx and vice versa and that one sacrificing their life for the other wasn't an option. and i'm sure that asking wkx if he's willing to sacrifice his life had a deeper meaning and intention to it but that was such an in-law thing to do lmao 😂😂

anyways, i'm sure this has all been said before but i just can't stop having feels about it.

i haven’t been drawing anything else all weekend help

Matchmaking was fun for Frankie Kaspbrak at first, but now it’s just boring.
