Was Drawing Jon (from The Magnus Archives) For Other Reasons But Remembered That I Hate Doing Line Art

Total Watch Time of the Life Series (Updated)

This is an update from my original post now that Wild Life is over.

I recorded the total watch time for all POV's for each Life Series Season, then the Life Series as a whole to find out how long it truly is.

Third Life is about 3,616.53 minutes or 2 days, 12 hours, 16 minutes, and 32 seconds with each episode being about 36 min and 9 seconds long and having a total of 100 episodes.

Last Life is about 4,634.98 minutes, or 3 days, 5 hours, 14 minutes, and 59 seconds with each episode being about 36 minutes and 47 seconds long and having a total of 126 episodes.

Double Life is about 2,889.22 minutes, or 2 days, 9 minutes, and 49 seconds with each episode being about 36 minutes and 66 seconds long and having a total of 80 episodes.

Limited Life is about 3,446.57 minutes, or 2 days, 9 hours, 26 minutes, and 34 seconds with each episode being about 34 minutes and 7 seconds long and having a total of 101 episodes.

Secret Life is about 6,004.83 minutes, or 4 days, 4 hours, 4 minutes, and 50 seconds with each episode being about 41 minutes and 42 seconds long and having 144 episodes. (Etho combined sessions 8 and 9, but Jimmy had an episode after his death so it balances out)

Wild Life is about 6,095.53 minutes, or 4 days, 5 hours, 35 minutes, and 5 seconds with each episode being about 43 minutes and 32 seconds long and having a total of 140 episodes.

Real Life (If your including it) is about 399.87 minutes, or 6 hours, 39 minutes, and 52 seconds with each episode being about 30 minutes and 45 seconds long and having a total of 13 episodes.

As of writing this, the total run time of the Life Series (excluding Real Life) is about 26,687.66 minutes, or 18 days, 12 hours, 47 minutes, and 40 seconds over the course of 691 episodes. If you are including Real Life, the total run time of the Life Series is about 27,087.53 minutes, or 18 days, 19 hours, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds over the course of 704 episodes. That is over two and a half weeks of non-stop watching, not including adds, loading, bathroom breaks, etc. For reference, the total watch time of One Piece is around 2,6208 minutes, or 18 days, 4 hours, and 48 minutes long. The Life Series is the new One Piece, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

"the magnus archives sounds cool! what are the content warnings?"

the fact that Carlos was a professor is so funny to me. this was a man in his mid-thirties with a Career tm and a Salary tm and then one day he abandoned that for a sabbatical and left to research night vale, then proceeded to stay in night vale for no reason other than that he’s gay and batshit unhinged. like he went from grading papers in an office, to wooing a slutty immortal radio host while dead animals rain from the sky around them. imagine you look up your old instructer on ratemyprofessors and you can’t find any trace of him because his linkedin points to a town that no maps recognize, where he moved to basically be a malewife and do sidequests. and night vale didn’t even make him weird, he’s just always been Like That and it gave him the opportunity to let all that weirdness out. it’s so sexy of him, you go funky science man

Nightmare Before Christmas Magazine

One of my art projects for school was to make a magazine mock up using the painting 'American Gothic' as a base. While I hate how the final product ended up due to the software we had to use, I still rely like the sketch and wanted to post it here.

WILD LIFE FINALE SPOILERS!!

I FUCKING CALLED IT!!!!!

Technically I predicted three people and I'm not sure if that takes away from it, but I'm still going to call it a victory! Congratulations Joel, I never doubted you. Fanart him as a winner will come after I finish finals

Atlantisia Art Contest Entry

My entry for Sparkbirds' art/video contest! I think I might edit a few more things so this isn't my final submission, but I hope you like it.

I went through quite a journey editing this, so if you want to hear my tales of woe, click below

I had to use three different editing programs cuse one I downloaded just for this and did all of the layering and stuff, but as I went to export it apparently like all of the assets I used were premium despite not having any indicators whatsoever, and I didn't feel like doing the entire thing all over again, so what I decided to do was to screen recorded the playback viewfinder in the editing UI, and then dump that into a different editing program to crop and trim it. The audio got messed up but considering I had an mp3 file of it I just added that into the other editing program as well. That's not even including that artwork which had me doing multiple thumbnails, renders for the bird, trying to figure out anatomy, and a fully rendered piece with everything in separate layers. And I also did value thumbnails for some reason?? It worked out well but idk why I did it I've never done that before. I rarely thumbnail as it is. I'm writing this at 2 am, BTW, and I think I started it around like 8?

Also just a little detail that I like that no one will notice is that all of the colors are color-picked from the Atlantisia and Mayday cover art. There is some messing with values, layer modes, gradient maps, and stuff, but all of the base colors came from the albums. I'm just info-dumping at this point. I'm tired.

more Grojband au drawings and headcanons bc apparently I only like making fanart for fandoms that are non-existent or on the brink of extinction.

(au ramblings after the keep reading)

Relationships

Platonic/Familial:

Lanes and Larry (nickname Lars or Lars Bar) got really close during middle school. They found comfort with each other bc they were in similar situations regarding their crushes. They'd sneak off after band practice to rant to each other about their band leaders and just wallow in self-pity. And that didn't really change as they got older. If anything, they got even closer, acting more like siblings than friends—they even got similar/mirroring piercings to match and wear coordinated outfits—, constantly ranting to or annoying each other at any opportunity. However, their audience doesn't really believe that it's just that (having given both of them the titles of casanovas for dating each other and their band leaders). And neither does Corey. Which, as you can probably guess, often leads being a point of contention between them.

Kim and Konnie: I've made them really close cousins. Why?. Because I can! jk jk but tbch I just wanted to add some variety in the lineup's dynamics. I'm also playing with the idea of one of them being half-white and the other being half-Filipino and having them be raised in different households to see how that would affect the different ways in which they'd interact. They are still close like sisters and each other's best friends, they were born on the same day and wear matching hair ties like friendship bracelets, but I want them to have things about them that make them different from being exact copies of their counterparts. However, this is definitely subject to change as I explore the concept more.

Corey and Carrie: acquaintances. Over the years their rivalry has seriously mellowed out and are more or less pleasant with each other. They will tease each other from time to time but that's kind of just what you do when you've known someone as long as they have.

Mina and Trina: Not quite sure where to put this one lol. Their relationship imploded senior year when Mina confessed to her and Trina responded in the worst way possible. Now Mina is doing school abroad and Trina had to repeat her last year. No one really knows what happened but rumor has it that Mina had said something so bad to Trina that it made her completely break. She doesn't hang out with anyone and she rarely, if ever, talks. She spends all her time alone in her room or at her job that nobody is even really sure she has.

Romantic:

Kon and Konnie: they are just happy and cute together. They started hanging out together more during sophomore year when Konnie's gym closed down and she had to go to a new one. They were definitely more awkward at first, they didn't really dislike each other but their friends did so they kind of just...didn't interact, but once they actually started talking they found they got along really well! They would often spot for the other and offer encouragement when working out. Inevitably they caught feelings and tried dating in secret. But that didn't last long (bc ofc it didn't lol) and they got caught. Both bands were more irritated than mad but eventually got over it.

Kin and Kim: a bickering old married couple. they are constantly 'breaking up' and then getting back together the next day. They are snarky and live for drama and gossip. They both think that the other is more in love with them and can control them bc of it. In reality, they are both equally whipped for each other but refuse to admit it. They constantly 'fight' to show that they aren't in love then somehow always fail miserably every time. They haven't made their relationship public and hopefully never will. They like having their fans think they're single and that if they found out it would ruin their images as the mysterious prince and princess of their respective groups. The bands' reactions to them range from exasperated eye rolls to mocking laughter.

Larry (yes, I'm sticking to calling him Larry) and Carrie: ??? Larry adores Carrie and she knows this. He makes it very clear and is willing to do almost anything for her. But how Carrie feels for Larry is unclear, at least that's what he says to Laney. She will treat him like a best friend and they'll hang out alone without problem, but she will have this weird distance about her that she doesn't close. That is until the cameras come on. During interviews and shoots, she will pull him close to her and say things that can be easily interpreted and romantic, but when asked to specify she will laugh and deflect the question. Then, once the cameras are off, she goes right back to being distant. He is unsure whether or not she actually likes him romantically or is just refusing to clarify for the sake of the band, but he'll lean into her touch whenever or wherever it's given. He seems to have come to terms with this being their dynamic and just...goes with it. There is one thing he knows for certain, he loves her and regardless of whether or not she cares for him romantically, he will stay by her side no matter what. Oddly enough, whenever the topic of Larry and Laney's relationship is brought up, Carrie refuses to talk about it. To be honest, she'll act like she has no idea what they're talking about and bluntly steer the conversation towards literally anything else.

Laney and Corey: Contradictory. Laney has essentially given up on forming a romantic bond with Corey. However, her actual feelings don't seem to have gotten the memo. She still cares for him so much it hurts. So much so that she's come to terms with the fact that she will never be able to be with anyone romantically because of it. Laney used to love the high of being in love, floaty and light, and now she feels more like a suffering addict, lost and panicked. She drowns in every touch and caress given to her but at the same time feels burned and scorned every time she realizes how simple and platonic they are. She can't blame him for not liking her back, but she's come to resent him for it. Just a little bit. She sometimes even wishes she had never met Corey. Constantly thinking about the life she could have had had she not been pulled into the living whirlpool that was Corey. She loves him, and he doesn't know it. But he holds her closer than anyone else. He is possessive of her and her attention. Whenever it's directed towards someone else, Larry especially, he pulls her back into him and refuses to let her go. This makes it even more unlikely for her to move on, in fact, it makes her angry. They argue about it often.

I have the beginnings of several scenes that explore these relationships and stuff but I'm not too sure I wanna share them just yet ^^; (my creative writing skill is a bit more than a little lacking lol)

Bamboozlers WIP

May I offer a Bamboozlers WIP in these trying times?

Loving Wild Life so far, but haven't been able to watch too many perspectives. Why did they have to start it from midterms-finals?! 😭

I'm planning on doing group illustrations for each group and a solo one for Creaking!BigB, but school has been hectic (I just failed out of my math class as a STEM major 🙃) so they might be either late or a bit rushed.

What are some verbal stims that you have picked up from ✨️The Internet✨️

I need to know other people have has this happen to them cuse I can't be the only one

I've started saying "chat is this real" whenever I am shocked or surprised by news or something. It started as a joke but has started becoming part of my vocabulary and default reaction

After finding out the results of the US presidential election, I screenshot the results and sent it to the group chat with the caption "chat is this real"
