Porky Pig’s speech pattern deconstructed

[soulofrainbows]

I...am officially a college graduate.  5.5 years in the making, and I admit, it still feels a little surreal.  To be done, to have finished and not faceplanted somewhere along the way.

.....Okay, to have not faceplanted and not gotten back up and kept going somewhere along the way.

It feel surreal enough that...good, honest, nervous excitement and hope for the future is plucking the strings of my anxiety, like ‘the other shoe is going too fall soon’.  Even if it’s too late for that, pff.

I’ve even been tagged by a recruiter last week from the job fair I attended back in October.  So while it’s not an official job offer, the ball is still rolling on that.

Anyway, yeah.  Just a little ‘vent’ post to try and decompress a little, and to let folks know what’s going on.  Feel free to tag me here, discord, or pillowfort.io (same blog name).  And I hope you’re having an excellent day. -J. ))

tfw you have a small itch for writing, but are on mini-hiatus until tumblr either unfucks itself or lights itself on fire and either one would be amusing to watch. ))

[soulofrainbows]

Blergh.  While I’ve read about the news and ‘update’....finger quotes used really generously...to the site in a couple weeks, I’m torn.

On one hand, I do treasure the relationships, friends, and writing partners I’ve made here.  I’ve been exclusively ‘sfw’ on the dash for a big reason, and won’t really be personally affected by the changes.

On the other hand...ugh.  I can’t stand the huge uproar and overreaction to the Apple store takedown.  The old “Shut.  Down.  Everything.” meme from Pandemic comes to mind.  Yes, I’m dating myself with that comment, you hush.

I have friends who dabble in nsfw.  I know a ton of sideblogs that will get hammered.  Not gonna lie, *I* go looking sometimes, and I follow a fair number of artists that depict adult content.  I’m watching similar artists who use this site for exposure to make a living frantically rushing to relocate content, to comb their archives for any hint of something that might violate policy.

...And I kind of wanna leave.  There’s that one ‘Don’t Leave Tumblr’ post floating around, saying ‘when there’s a problem, do you tuck and run?’.  My counter is...what would hurt them worse?  A group of left-behinds holding a candlelight vigil for the way things used to be?  Or...not giving them site hits, and ad revenue, and whatever else Tumblr sends down the pipeline to your machine?  Do we keep eating poisonous lettuce and send petitions and demands for change to the government?  No.  We stop eating the fucking lettuce.  We boycott the products and services that treat us like garbage.  When the only thing that matters to a company is money...the only way they listen is if the money gets compromised.  We’ve got the ‘pulled off the app store’ fiasco facts to back this up.

I’m not 100% convinced, but I’m on the ‘in favor of leaving’ side of the fence.  I’ll leave the askbox and IM’s open (like always), in case folks want to present a case, or a counterargument.  And I’m also very interested in a place I can relocate the blog to, if there’s a popular consensus.  I’m not giving up on writing, and plan to keep on...just...yeah.  This site is going to need a major upheaval.  I’m on Discord, and Telegram messenger, and anyone’s welcome to request my contacts there if they’d like to chat / keep in touch.

This is also okay to reblog if it resonates and you wanna just use my words to convey it.  And feel free to add your own on the reblog.

All the best to everyone.  -J. ))

 Frisk giggled again, the sound happy and soft as she let him carry her away to wherever he wished. She smiled up to him, brown eyes sparkling happily. 

“I’m sorry. I tried to get in a few visits but you how they are up there. All work and no play. Plus it’s been a little hectic. War almost broke twice in the last couple of years I’ve been away so I kinda had to fix it before crap hit the fan.” She explained. 

“Everyone thought I needed a break so of course I’d come here for that. It wouldn’t kill you to write me y’know.” Frisk joked.

A few more little traded kisses.  At this point, it’s hardly a secret that the pair had a thing for one another.  So if the monsters down here were gonna talk, well...he’d give them something to talk about.

“Don’t you dare be sorry.  Work is important!  Trust me, I oughta know.  Even though I’m mostly just a figurehead down here and whoever’s left, well..they honestly take pretty good care of themselves.  And I DO write you, you goof.  Just..by time things reach where you are, you’ve had to move on.  Little texts here and there, but...nothing beats time with you like this.”  He has a point!

“I remember last time you had a week off, you barely got out of bed..”  There was  little twinkle in his eyes, though.  The fact that catching up on rest, sleep, and enjoying not having any obligations miiiiight not have been the only reason for that.

Need a Lift?  Closed w/ @undergrounds-hero (cont. from here)

  Frisk giggled softly as the handsome monster tugged her gently into his arms. The young King was always a sight for sore eyes and his strong arms around her was something desperately missed, blushing she lent forwards, nuzzling her nose against his snout affectionately.

“It’s been awhile since you swept this girl off her feet Azzy.” Frisk teased, hugging him close as he lifted her with utter ease. She always felt like a princess in his arms, this no less. He was always a comfort to her.

“I’ve missed you.” She murmured, petting through soft white fur with a shy smile on her lips.

He did his best to treat her like a princess.  Since, well.  As long as she was in his arms, she kind of was one, practically by default.

“Far too long, and there’s probably some lost time to be made up for,” he said, not even concerned with bridal-carrying this girl wherever he happened to be going.  “Ambassador work’s had you all over the place for like...a year now, and surface visits aren’t too frequent for me.”

He stole that kiss back, soft and a little lippy, letting it linger for however long it could.  “Missed you too, sugar.  A lot.”

the ground is too hot for these dainty spider feet, y’know

YOU   ARE   BRAVE    \    YOU   ARE   THE   GROUND   SHAKER.    the   earth   trembles    \    beneath   your   feet.    the   world   revolves    \    beneath   your   feet.    the   world   begins   again    \    beneath   your   feet.    you   are   the   manifestation   of   a   knife    \    the   murderer   &   the   murdered.    you   were   no   angel    \    yet   you   fell   from   above ,    from   the   heavens   overhead.   \    you   were   a   child    \    a   brave   young   soul .

Cuddling is good and valid and not inherently romantic and can be completely platonic reblog if you agree.

Kris shrugged. They weren’t saying anything of particular import. They never did really, so whatever Asriel was worried about didn’t bother them too much. Reluctantly, the human turned from him to open the cage.

The soul appeared wary of the room’s new occupant and catapulted but into its human vessel with a resounding thud. Kris gasped harshly, hand clutched over their chest as they worked to steady their breath.

Fuckin brat, this soul…

“…My brother could beat you up…” They said with all the confidence of a child bragging about their father, once they had regained their breath.

“Oh, I don’t doubt it,” came the reply without missing much of a beat.  He was a pacifist, and only fought out of absolute necessity.  Interesting that the soul changed Kris’ personality, but didn’t take his identity.  Still aware of his big brother.  And able to *remove* that soul when he needed to.

“Interesting.  So, how different do you feel from a moment ago?”  It was the first time he’s seen this phenomenon, and...oddly enough, he was more wary of Kris with someone else’s soul than he was with an apparently soulless human.  Noting his instincts, he just waited for the reply.

Big Bro? //@soulofrainbows

    Mina hadn’t even noticed the other monster had shown up until he was suddenly harmonizing with her, even if his lyrics did not match her own. She gasped, whirling around to see him there behind her. Fur collar fluffing up to almost her cheeks she stared at him red faced.

    This was utterly embarrassing.

    Her fingers clutched onto the chord of lights in her hands tightly and she stood frozen in her spot outside her door.

     ❝ I-I… Oh… Um… ❞ She was stammering as she suddenly broke eye contact. The snow beneath her feet was suddenly much more interesting. As were the colorful lights she held. Really, anything to keep her from looking at him in this moment.

     ❝ T-Thank you, sir… I’m sorry I hadn’t expected to have company while I decorated… ❞

He tucked a hand into the pocket of his jeans, comfy even in the chill of Snowdin because he’s covered in fluff.  “And I wasn’t expecting a serenade on my walk home.  So we’re even, right?”  He wasn’t doing a thing to diminish that color in his new friend’s cheeks.

“Anyway, don’t...worry about formalities.  The ‘sir’ stuff is more my Dad’s spiel.”  He set his bags down somewhere the snow couldn’t soak through, and offered her his hand.  “So, s’pose that leaves two questions for me to ask, then.  One - might I ask your name?  And, two - d’you need a hand with these decorations?”

It was the least he could do for leaving her a fluffy, flustered, foot-shuffling little mess and only..being a tiny bit sorry about it.

Okay guys I’m gonna give it to you straight. I have $15 in my checking account at the moment and that just isn’t going to cut it. My next paychecks are going to be eaten alive by bills and other necessities so I’m going to be hurting bad this next month and probably into January too. I’m gonna need some help, and therefore I am opening up commissions!!!

What I will draw: SFW and NSFW. Anything that goes against DA’s policy will not be posted publicly. Pokemon/animals/anthros (Ask about humans) Fan art OCs Ships Will NOT draw: Fetish art of any kind (Inflation, pregnancy, vore, etc) Extreme gore Robotic characters (FNAF/Undertale characters are an exception) Hateful art If you are requesting an OC I ask that you please have a reference image I can use. Descriptions do not work well for me. It doesn’t have to be some amazing piece of art, just something that I can work off of!

I only accept payment through paypal! I will ask for the payment upfront when you commission me, so please be sure you have the money beforehand! You can contact me here OR through: ladykiitsune@gmail.com

If you would like to help out but can’t afford a commission, I also have a KO-FI ! Every little bit will help me out here. I’d appreciate if you guys could maybe spread this around too! 

Thank you for your support!!!  ♥ ♥ ♥

    She was decorating the outside of her house with tinsel and lights, singing softly to herself as she did so, completely unaware that someone could be watching her.

     ❝ Silver bells…. Silver bells… It’s Christmas time in the city…. �� ♫ ❞

Some days were quiet as he savored the crunch of the snow under his feet when he went for groceries.  Today, though, was a different story.  And he followed the melodic voice he heard.  Lo and behold, there was a cute appearance to go with that voice!

..One that appeared to be oblivious to passers-by as she decorated and finished the chorus to her carol.  And then, the prince got an idea.  Waiting for the perfect time, he chimed in to sing a couple bars of the first verse with her in his best Bing Crosby croon.

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks ♫ Dressed in holiday cheer ♪

He’d continue until she took notice, which..probably wouldn’t take long when you suddenly have harmony to your melody.  And he’d give her a charming smile.

“Don’t stop on my account.  You have a lovely singing voice, miss.”
