Stitch 'n Bones

so, first, i present to you, the connection:

the first being from alan moore’s “for the man who has everything,” and the second being from morrison’s batman run, of course. there are some things we can ascertain; bruce likes to give people flowers, and also likes grand gestures, and when the two meet, it turns into him giving people the most rare and grand flowers. you could, with the information provided, say that alfred was possibly the one who bred the krypton. but i have a different argument to make, lads. i say that bruce was the one to breed those flowers, and therefore, batman spends his days off puttering about a garden, and if that isn’t the most delightful thing you’ve ever imagined, you have no soul.

firstly, would alfred name a flower after himself? it’s true, bruce could’ve named the flower, as he likely named the krypton. but you forget, bruce is a serial liar, who wants to force the outside world to believe he has no hobbies and no feelings. frequently, we can’t trust his word. should we start trusting him now? i argue that we shouldn’t. “i paid a horticulturalist,” SO HE CLAIMED. “my butler breeds them,” SO HE CLAIMED. two is a pattern, my friends. the concept is here, unearthed. all of the pieces fit together. it’s time you accept the truth…… my truth.

in order to breed roses as exactly as that requires, you need yourself a goddamn botanical laboratory.  You need to keep all the specimens separate.  You need to chart each generation.  You need to study plant genetics.  You need photos and files and you need exact conditions to get the blooms sturdy.  You also need to do the regular rose stuff of balanced PH, keeping the right light amount and temperature, you need to keep all pests the goddamn away from all your plants while providing them nutrition–which contains organic compounds in it that all want to destroy your roses, and water (as well as feeding) the precise amounts (but not too much because roses are finicky shits.)

Sketch Brush - I work mostly with this one. I’m currently very into painting with a textured look. It works with my already extremely lazy sketchy style. Occasionally I even use it for linework. Although, when I do, 80% of the reason I do is because I forget to switch brushes lmao

Airbrush Tool- To go along with my sketchy  brush, I have a sketchy way to shade. I tend to paint “blushing” this way. It makes colors blend in a static-y almost, TOO textured way. I tend to mess with the settings with this one a lot.

Dubious “Lineart” Tool - Very simple lineart tool. It’s no secret I’m a die-hard flat brush fan. I’m gonna be real, I’m garbage at lining, and that isnt just a stylistic choice; It’s from being unsure where I want to put my lines and laziness. From a distance its alright, but I dare not venture closer on dear flower-crowned Riku’s face. I’m having fun learning how to line-weight tho LOL

With these captain planet powers combined I usually get somethin’ like this.

WordPress: Functional coding!

It was May 1924, and the Ku Klux Klan wanted to showcase its power and cement its sudden grip on Indiana politics by holding a picnic and parade in South Bend, the most Catholic area in the state.

About 500 University of Notre Dame students showed their objections by storming downtown and ripping the hoods and robes off surprised Klan members. As the Klan arrived in trains, buses and cars, the students roughed members up in alleys and stole their regalia for battle trophies. They chased the rest to the Klan headquarters downtown at the corner of Wayne and Michigan streets.

A “fiery cross” made from red light bulbs shined in the office’s third-floor window. By a stroke of luck, a store selling groceries on the ground floor had barrels of potatoes outside. The students began launching the potatoes.

Of course my pathetic monster-loving heart would go doki doki for skekMal.

Today my boss called us over to come look at this huge hickory horned devil he found on the trail. This is the biggest larva I've ever seen and I got a little obsessed. I've also never held a bug so alarmingly STRONG (it didn't appreciate being picked up and let me know by thrashing around and poking me through the back of my gloves with those defensive spines. No worries, not poisonous or venomous, just pointy.)

Avatar: Magic is limited to the four elements (and some spirit stuff). Furthermore, everyone except the Avatar is limited to at most just one element.

The magic battles are spectacular displays of creativity where each element is utilized to its full potential in a variety of ways.

Harry Potter: Magic is basically limitless, with there being a spell to do pretty much anything and any wizard can learn it, including an instant-death spell.

Which is why fighters on both sides only ever go for the best and most effective spells (Avada Kedavra for bad guys, Expelliarmus for good guys) and magic battles look like this:

I know what you’re talking about. With the most obvious example being Spiderman vs. Superman.

Spiderman’s powers being basically the same for 60 years now, and writers had to come up with new ways for him to use his abilities.

While Superman (especially in the silver age) is pulling new powers out of his ass at every given opportunity.

But I think unlike Harry Potter where there’s no reason for wizards to use anything except their go-to spell, Superman does use the full array of his powers to deal with different foes.
