#BUT NOPE!

As if My Stand-In wasn't rude enough, remember that poster of Ming new Joe first saw when he was leaving the hospital?
It's the same shirt Ming was wearing when he broke Joe's heart.
And remember when I wrote Joe had core strength because he was lifting Ming's shirt up with his mouth since his hands were tied behind his back?
He is wearing the same hoodie in episode four's preview, which means Ming is probably going to do some real stupid shit for Tong.
Remember those ridiculous pillowcases Joe bought?
How could we ever forget them?!
They are laying on each other's in this scene. Ming is on Joe's and Joe is on Ming's.
But Ming takes his when Wut shows up.
Oh, and in the trailer, Joe is laying on his.
And Ming is leaning on his.
And they are clearly in Joe's house because the picture on the nightstand is the same as the first time they had sex.
But . . .
On the very first night they tried to have sex, Ming was wearing white pants and Joe had on these yellow-ish boxers.
And in the trailer they are wearing the same outfits, YET we didn't get THIS scene in the first episode.
BUT . . . those damn matching pillows are on the couch.
They normally are on the couch AFTER JOE BOUGHT THEM!
So that scene from the trailer isn't their first night together. It's later! But how much later? Because these bowls show up in odd places too.
You know, the green and gold bowls Joe bought before Ming broke his heart?
The ones they ate off of like a cute couple when Wut brought them food?
Yeah, the bowl is behind Joe in this scene from the trailer.
And that shirt is the same shirt under this jacket from this scene in the trailer.
Ming is also wearing the blue watch in this scene.
And we know Ming had that suit in the past because it was hanging in his closet.
And we know the fight continues to the house because of this promo picture.
Which would make sense why Ming is sitting there all sad with the green and gold bowls waiting for Joe to return.
BUT . . . why would they be kissing by the gold and green bowls if they are breaking up in episode four and Joe is about to die?
So either Ming wakes up, Joe says nothing, Ming puts in a great effort to cook and sex up his man, only to fuck him over for Tong which leads to them fighting in the street and death.
Or Ming is still living in Joe's house in the future with their green and gold bowls and king of heart pillowcases and we will see those two scenes later.
Or Ming could eff over Joe and still be living in his house two years later since this is the same guy who broke a man's heart in a blue and red striped shirt and wore that same exact shirt a year and a half later when he started working for the same company his ex worked for.
Which is something he never had an interest in.
So to recap, Ming is possibly a sentimental asshole who has been holding onto meaningful items and conversations from his relationship for the past two years and he is acting because he no longer wants to be himself since he doesn't have Joe.
Cool beans!
#my stand in#my stand in the series#this show is rude#and I will write eighty million posts about it#I thought Joe being tied up would be sexy#but NOPE!#Ming is gonna eff him over I just know it#RUDE!

Been artblocked lately, so i decided to sorta reset by trying out other styles, so here's EoW!Zelda in my style and 3 others!
+ some style/process notes
#the legend of zelda#echoes of wisdom#the owl house#in stars and time#omori#loz#loz eow#zelda#toh#isat#josh art tag#this was really fun!! also kinda infuriating at times lol#owl house was verrry difficult for me as the proportions were so strange and the lines had to be precise and consistent#and omori was surprisingly hard!!#at first i was gonna do a real world portrait but the colors looked horriblr#and i decided it would be more fun to do headspace colors anyway#but then i still had trouble! i blame omori's inconsistent art#at first i didnt color it like the dialogue portraits and instead like official art#so she had basil's teal hair and had white skin and i had to try to guess a blue color for the cloak#but with those colors i didnt knoe how to shade it#so i went to the dialogue portrait style#and i almost left the hair to be just that blank color since anything else on the portraits that werent purple were blank#but then i decided to go the basil portrait route and color her hair at the ends and with blue#way too much grief for such a simple style...#and the face is kinda wonky but i wasnt gonna go back and fix it#anyway shoutout to isat for being the most fun and least difficult#honestly thought it was gonna be the hardest#but nope!#also the fact that that style is monochrome was so nice cuz gosh colors were hard for the other 2

I had issues with keeping myself on track with writing, and because I've been on a better drawing spree, I thought drawing something quick about/inspired by my main fic series would help. I think it did! :D
This isn't really something that's meant to be an actual scene, but I did use chapter 16 as the inspiration so... I guess spoilers??? If you think you'd like to check it out, here's a link
#fanart#digital art#krita#sketch#fanfiction art#ao3 fanfic#team fortress 2#team fortress two#tf2 scout#tf2 sniper#It's about time I drew something that actually conveyed the tone of the story#If you saw all the illegible doodles I've kept in my folders you'd think it was a slice-of-life fic#But nope!#Survival horror baby!

ngl i am. so curious as to what your breaking point was with the game lol
it's tricky to pinpoint bc i was trepidatious off the top but was willing to give bioware the benefit of the doubt. i was looking past the therapy speak, the defanged companion interactions, but then there was the state of the world and the lack of urgency and then but the isseya quest really solidified it for me.
tay and i have been talking in detail about how a lot of this stuff feels like a classic "somehow, palpatine returned" moment (like with illario being in cahoots with elgar'nan... ILLARIO?) which is bad enough re: isseya, who should've been dead for 500 years at this point but that coupled with a complete lack of nuance and care regarding isseya and the griffons is driving me fucking insane. valya does not offer her unique perspective from reading the journal, in which isseya EXPLAINS WHY SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE DID AND EXPRESSES IMMENSE GUILT, one can easily extrapolate that the fourth blight would've gone on significantly longer and been significantly worse if she hadn't done what she did with the griffons. she was a brilliant tactician, PART OF THE REASON THE FOURTH BLIGHT was as short as it was, she was garahel's right hand woman and SHE DID NOT WANT TO BLIGHT THEM. and then, not to mention, SHE'S THE REASON A CLUTCH OF EGGS WAS SAVED AND PROTECTED AS WELL AS IT WAS AT ALL!
and then the gloom howler quest is her saying nothing bad will ever happen to the griffons again and fuck the wardens but then also recruiting old wardens and calling them grey wardens still like... they could've at least had her call them the Gloom wardens or something sick like
so much of dragon age is about grey morality but they take the hardest stance on one of the most interesting, unique characters across every installment of their franchise. and there was a way to make her coming back good and interesting if we got to actually understand the depth and urgency of her situation at the time and give davrin some shit to second guess and question himself on but, like the rest of the game, there is no urgency. a blight is going on in ferelden and we're having gossip dates with the inquisitor. AND THEN NO REPEATABLE KISS! IN THIS ESSAY I WILL
#sorry for anyone who hasn't read the last flight. i feel very passionate about it.#oh and also no reimas?#reimas could've been an immensely interesting character to include in the game#INSTEAD OF MORE RANDOM WARDENSSSSS#BUT NOPE!#whatever. fuck#i have quests to finishhhh#datv spoilers#datv critical#maia plays dragon age#ask

Just a Rock
For all the time I’ve spent traveling through space, I haven’t spend much of it actually out in space. It’s unsettling. Inside the ship, I can forget how close the airless void is, how small our precious bubble of air. But outside, everything is black like some vast creature ate all the color in the universe first, then the air, and is now hungering for life forms too.
Sometimes those distant stars look like teeth.
These are the thoughts that tend to pop up when I’m in my exo suit, hoping that my thruster pack doesn’t run out of fuel before I make it back to the ship. But then an empty pack of chips will float by my visor, and I can refocus on business.
That’s how it happened today, at any rate. (And yes, “day” is a silly concept in the blackness of space.) We’d made a detour to see if we could pick up some extra funds by gathering salvage from a museum ship that had gone kablooey, but so far all we were finding was trash.
Paint jetted past in her own exo suit, upside-down to my frame of reference, then stopped to pull apart a jumble of carpet fragments. “They really did clear out the good stuff already,” she said over the radio. She swatted aside a drink cup with her tail, looking like a little space-suited dinosaur, a thought that kept me entertained for a good few seconds.
Captain Sunlight’s voice said, “Keep an eye out for scrap metal. That may already be gone too, but it’s worth a shot.” She was somewhere else in the drifting junk pile, or maybe back near the ship; I couldn’t tell. There was too much stuff in the way. This was a mildly alarming thought — out of sight meant out of safety — but I caught a glimpse of the Frillian twins posted as safety guards at the edge of the cloud, and my heartbeat settled a bit.
“Do you think anyone will buy some mildly used carpet?” Paint asked the captain. “It’s only in several pieces.”
“Let’s go with ‘no.’”
“What about some very exotic — what is this — napkins? Made with authentic Earth wood fibers!”
I looked over at that. “How can you tell?”
“Oh, I have no idea,” Paint said. She held up half of a wall placard. “But this is from the Earth exhibit, so maybe the napkins are too.”
I looked around at the trash in a new light. “Man, it’s a pity we weren’t here for any of the good stuff.”
“Yeah, and all these food packages are empty! We can’t even get you a slightly exploded taste of home!”
I waved my hand through a cluster of soda bottles. “I appreciate the thought.”
Paint jetted over to a different pile of whatever. “Hey, do you think any of this food trash was actually an exhibit? Packaging from olden days?”
“Uh, maybe,” I said. “Probably not. That’s not the sort of thing I’d expect on a multi-species museum ship. A janky little humans-only one, maybe. But even then, most people aren’t going to care.”
Something clunked against the back of my helmet. I hate that. Nothing like a reminder that I can’t see behind me like some species can. I toggled the jets to rotate in place, so I could find the offending object.
It was a rock.
“What’s this doing here?” I asked, closing a gloved hand around it and bringing it in for a closer look.
“What’d you find?” Paint asked, sticking out sideways from behind a twisted bench.
“A rock.”
“A meteorite rock?” she asked. “Oh hey, do you think it pierced the hull?”
“No, it doesn’t look like a space rock,” I said, turning the small gray-and-white lump over. It was mostly smooth, with a divot that would have fit a fingertip if I hadn’t been wearing the gloves. “Weird. I wonder if it was part of some Neolithic exhibit or something.”
“Can I see?” Paint jetted over to park herself in roughly the same orientation as me. She was very good with that jetpack.
I showed her the rock. “It doesn’t look like any gemstone I know. Maybe some kid had it in their pocket, then threw it away.”
Paint cocked her head. “Is that normal, for your young to carry rocks around?”
“Sure. You never picked up something you thought was neat as a kid?”
“Not a rock,” Paint said with exaggerated disdain. “A sweet-smelling seednut or herb, absolutely.”
“But look: it’s even got a little finger groove,” I pointed out. “You could stick it in a pocket and rub it for luck.”
“Could you?”
I smiled. “You could. You probably wouldn’t, but…”
“Why?”
I looked at the rock again, already fond of it. “I get the feeling that I couldn’t explain this to a point where you’d agree.”
Paint shrugged. “Probably not. But hey, we found you a souvenir after all. From probably the Earth section of whatever museum this is.” She grabbed a handful of colorful pamphlets drifting by. “The ‘Galaxy in a Bottle Museum Tour Ship.’ Who named that?”
My smile turned into a wide grin. “Humans.”
Paint grumbled about the unflattering comparison of an elite starship to a simple bottle. When she moved to toss the pamphlets away, I held out a hand.
“What’s that white one?” I asked. “It looks like a display sign.”
Paint flipped over the stack and separated the one I meant. “You’re right. Hey, it’s about a rock!”
I reached out a grabby hand. “Gimme.”
She passed it over. “Is it that rock?”
I read the title, then was gut-punched by familiarity. I’d heard about this. “Yes,” I managed, skimming the rest of the sign and holding the rock close. “This is Bethan’s Rock.”
“What?”
I fumbled to explain. “Ages ago, a kid visited a museum — a human kid — and learned what museums were for, then offered her favorite rock as a donation, so other people could appreciate it too.”
Paint cocked her head in the other direction. “And they took it?”
“Yes!” I must have looked a little wild at this point, but I didn’t care. “The adults agreed that it was a fine thing to donate, not to mention adorable, and the only one of its kind that I’ve ever heard of. More museums should house the occasional favorite rock, though I suppose they wouldn’t be as special if they did.”
“So just to clarify,” Paint said. “There isn’t anything valuable about this rock, except that one of your youths decided there was. And all the adults played along.”
I smiled down at it, careful not to let it drift away. “It’s the most precious non-precious stone I’ve ever seen.”
Paint stared for a moment. “It’s not even one of those shiny ones you like.”
I laughed. “I know!”
The captain called us back in at that point, having found one decent chunk of metal among the mountains of trash. We had a schedule to keep.
I folded the sign and tucked it into my suit pocket, but held the rock tight in my fist as I jetted toward the ship, working the controls with one hand. I was already thinking of the safest place in my quarters to keep it until we got ahold of the proper Earth museum authorities. Other humans would want to see Bethan’s Rock, after all, but it would be my honor to watch over it until they could.
~~~
(Inspired by this post. Long live Bethan’s Rock.)
These are the ongoing backstory adventures of the main character of this book. More to come!

Was watching the post credit scene of Lucas and Dillon again and only just noticed Dillon linking their arms together after he laughs when Lucas asks what a yurt is😭
i was just talking in the discord about how obsessed i am with the casual affection they’re showing!!! Dillon is always touching Lucas, they’re always grabbing each others hands, doing little cheek kisses, walking arm in arm 🥺 they’re so into each other it’s adorable
#hayray#hollyoaks#I had this fear ofc. bc it’s a soap. that they’d kiss and pretty much never touch again#but nope!#pretty much every scene since they got together has had some kind of casual affection in it#love love love it#they’re so cute man#replies

I love love love it when the episode summaries for streaming services COMPLETELY undersell really important/intense episodes by boiling them down to the most basic and hilarious descriptions. 'Mabel puts on a sock puppet show', 'Steven helps Pearl find her phone', yes and what about the high stakes plot? i just think its so funny
#this is not me advocating for episode summaries to be spoilers#i mean#something like#'dipper makes a deal with bill cipher'#or 'pearl finally tells Steven the truth about his mother' would have been fine#but nope!#most misleadingly simple descriptions ever it is!#gravity falls#steven universe#sock opera#a single pale rose
