most relatable character ➣ Julian Bashir STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (1993-1999)
Hahaha! Tucker Cleveland energy (less the expressions, more the "fuk u" 🤣). Love the little self-satisfied evil grin.
i can’t draw his face right💀💀
I love these polls. But this feels like a weird and uncomfortable time to continue them. While we are in the process of deciding whether or not to give fascism unlimited power in the greatest military power currently on the planet, these posts feel uncomfortably out of touch with the existential threat facing all of humanity. I cannot enjoy voting in silly polls when I know that all of humankind faces the threat of extermination.
When we can return to a less horrifying reality, I would enjoy revisiting these polls. At the moment, to continue them feels like a cruel celebration of privilege from those who are insulated from the most extreme consequences of current proposed policies. It is hard to think of what level of inhumanity is necessary to continue laughing in the face of so much world-wide horror.
Of course you don't have to stay, and I won't begrudge you at all for going. But there's one point of yours here I feel is worth discussing, and it's your last one: laughing in the face of world-wide horror.
There is a difference between laughing at horrifying things and taking a break to laugh. In a world that is horrifying—and, to be honest, has been horrifying since this blog began, and long before then, and will be after it's done—you need to laugh to keep your endurance. I mean that every step of the way. You will not be able to keep fighting for the people who need your help, including yourself, if you don't give yourself a break and let yourself have joy and silliness in little dollops on the regular.
In my real life, when I'm not posting hot silly people on the hot silly people blog, I try to find ways to help change the world for the better. I've been trying for a while. And one of the key things I've learned in that while is that having a little fun and silliness does not dilute the work of making the world better—it gives you the fuel to keep doing it. Your human brain and body need a muchness. They need joy and sorrow and work and rest and laughter to keep going—and before you say, that's a privilege! yes, in today's broken world it often is. It should not be one. It is a right. You have the right to find spots of joy, silliness, time off from the world.
Stuff sucks right now, but taking ten minutes off to let yourself rest is not going to contribute to the end of the world. We need to rest and laugh if we want to keep going. I've always said this is a silly blog, and I maintain that yes! it is silly, it is pointless, this is nothing big at all. Nothing here has any consequence. And that can be a small good thing at the end of the day. It doesn't mean the big stuff doesn't matter if we have the small stuff too. We can have both. We need both.
I hope you find peace, wherever you are.
felt like noodles tonight :3
An match of intellect between the Turk's dumbest member vs Soldier's dumbest?
I'm swapping dumb for naive, because lbr the level of intelligence it takes to be a SOLDIER or a Turk is unmatched.
Tseng: Alright. I've got a stack of question cards. I'll read the question, whoever hits the buzzer first and answers correctly gets a point. Clear?
Zack & Reno: Yes!
Tseng: Good. Question one—
*Reno hits the buzzer*
Tseng: I haven't read it yet.
Reno: Yeah, but I got the vibe. The answer is cheese.
Tseng: I will stab you in the neck with this question card.
Reno:
Tseng: ...Starting over. Question one—What materia—
*BZZT!*
Zack: Fire!
Tseng: Correct.
Reno: HUH!? He just guessed!
Zack: Gut instinct, man. Years of SOLDIER training.
Tseng: Next question—Who—
*BZZT!*
Reno: Sephiroth!
Tseng: ⏤was the founder of Shinra Electric Power Company?
*Zack hits the buzzer*
Zack: Sephiroth!
Tseng: Forgive my language, by why the fuck would Sephiroth found the Shinra Electric Power Company?
Zack: Wasn't he involved at least? Dude's been here since forever.
Reno: Maybe he got bored one day and was like "You know what this world needs? More electricity!" Then BAM, Shinra was born!
Tseng: He was literally raised IN a Shinra lab.
Reno: Why are we dismissing time travel?
Tseng: BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FUCKING—*Tseng takes a deep breath*—because it doesn't exist, Reno. Now, moving onto the next question. Suppose our fellow operative suffers a mental breakdown while on a mission, expresses intent to harm others, and plans to commit arson—what are the correct procedures?
*A portal rips open mid-air. Time traveler Cloud steps out, wordlessly hands Zack a folded paper, then disappears back into the portal as if this is completely normal*
*Zack unfolds the paper, scans it, then calmly hits the buzzer*
Zack: You beat his ass.
Tseng:
Still wringing every drop of creative energy from this Dourif fixation 💞
Tried my hand at rotoscoping this mesmerizing Miami Vice gif (from this set by @exdeputysonso):
The scornful, slouchy staredown here really gets me thinking some special thoughts. And he's doing the thing where he gets all up in someone's face, eyes drilling into theirs from inches away — which by all reports is very truly menacing, but even so...
Then there's that beautifully sleazy little outfit with the shirt and chains... I'm so weak for a well-formed neck and décolletage. (The clothes they put him in really are second to none, including ridiculous loungewear and an iconic courtroom ensemble; see this other gifset for more)
There's an added air of threat from the tiny pupils, which really brings out the cold blue in his eyes, amped up by the matching shirt.
Dropping a few individual frames below the cut...
(He looks a bit cross-eyed because he's focusing on the guy's face like 6 inches away)
My present for my bestie: Christmas 2024 with RudeReno in Highschool AU - The scarf. (read from right to left)
Masterpost for Christmas 2024.
I would love to read your comments about this doujinshi 😊 Use #Shinra Highschool to see more contents of my FF7 high school AU.
I plan to post this in the evening but I have a shift today. Thus, I have to post this a little bit earlier.
I plan to draw for Tserith and Rufus x Cloud too. I want to see them in this high school au so badly.
If you cannot read or see well any part of the doujinshi, feel free to comment. I used only my pencil to draw so the image quality may not be good.
