Marinating in the fun stuff

This week I finished the painting I was working on in my last post and I continued playing around in the fun too! I played with the new inks (see also my last post). I made postcards for friends with these 2 inks as seen on my Substack newsletter. As you know I see art as a way to connect with people. Playing in my sketchbooks is a way to explore and experience new art supplies as well as my…

I SAW THIS LIKE 2 YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST GOT INTO THE OUTSIDERS AND EVERY TIME I READ IT SINCE THEN WITHOUT FAIL I LAUGH SO UNREASONABLY HARD

[the-lark-not-the-dove]

victor hugo really introduced enjolras and said ''yeah he is not straight. now it's up to you to determine whether he's gay or ace. or both.'' like bro was like ''he's a lot of things but straight is not one of them''

Darry reading Ponyboys essay! 😁

Paul in fanon: just a silly pathetic little guy who’s in love with Darry

Paul in canon: actively beating up Darry’s younger brother

The outsiders as actual things my friends have said:

Steve: It just pisses me off that he thinks he can just waltz back into my life and play “house” whenever he feels like it-

Ponyboy: Wait, why does your dad still want to play pretend with you?

Steve: No, that’s not what I-

Ponyboy: Like he knows you’re in high school right?

Dally: Are you actually this fucking stupid?

Wicked Fiyeraba Headcannons:

-Fiyero def sits on Elphaba’s lap

- they call each other Yero and Fae; after the Wicked Witch persona dies, they only go by Yero and Fae so less people will be able to tie them to the dead witch and the missing prince.

- one of Fiyero’s favorite activities is to have Elphaba read to him. He finds it very relaxing, and informative. (Fiyero has dyslexia and that why he doesn’t like reading himself- but dyslexia isn’t a diagnosis in Oz, it hasn’t been recogized)

- they take care of young orphaned Animals, and Fiyero got Elphaba an egg apron so she could put all the kittens/small Animals in the pockets while she was caretaking

- Fiyero likes to draw…he draws a lot of Elphaba (and the Animals, but mostly Elphaba)

- Fiyero likes to purchase Vinkun silk scarves for Elphaba. She uses some for practical embellments in her clothing- like as a belt, shawl or hair covering. Others she keeps as house clothes- like as a night shawl. There’s one though- black with red roses- that is only used during intimacy with Fiyero.

- Elphaba and Fiyero have really complex feelings about Glinda…she was Elphaba’s close and only friend for a while, but Fiyero helped Elphaba realize that Glinda treated her like crap (this is apart from not making the sacrifices to leave with Elphaba). Elphaba also had some romantic feelings towards Glinda, and does not know what to do with those feelings. Fiyero loved Glinda, but wasn’t in love with her. He is highly aware of her faults, but still misses her and feels bad for what happened. Both realize that Glinda was manipulated by the Wizard and Madam Morrible, but both also realize that only Glinda is responsible for Glinda’s actions. And can they forgive her for being an anti-Animal/Anti-Witch propaganda machine? For helping in orchestrating Nessa’s death, and creating a trap for Elphaba? They don’t know. Together, Elphaba and Fiyero write letters to Glinda that are then burned before being sent, allowing them to work through all of these feelings and trauma they have in relation to Glinda.

- Fiyero’s favorite thing todo to annoy Elphaba is to use her butt as a pillow. Elphaba hates it (but will tolerate it) and Fiyero loves it.

-Elphaba is very passionate about a lot of stuff, and has a habit of information dumping, even when it’s considered rude. Fiyero likes it, but has felt the need to coach Elphaba for when the time is appropriate to do so, after she accidentally offended Fiyero’s mother.

- Fiyero and Elphaba do the whole “3 taps means I Love You” thing

-Fiyero likes to comb/take care of Elphaba’s hair

- Fiyero is an addict, he got addicted to a ❄️-like ozian drug while in his rebellion/coping-with-being-royalty phase. He hasn’t always been completely honest with Elphaba about it, but he got clean when he joined the Gale Force. He still had carvings, especially with his chronic pain and stress, and he tries to be as honest as possible with Elphaba about his cravings. They both use 🍃 to deal with chronic pain and stress though, but in moderate amounts.

- After being tortured by the Gale Force- Fiyero develops Narceolpsey. It’s a learning curve for both him and Elphaba.

-Elphaba offered Fiyero an open relationship (not because she wanted one but because she thought he would be unhappy with just her, and the novelty would wear off). Fiyero refused (while he had been poly in the past, he refused because he knew Elphaba’s reasonings were based in her feeling inadequate and self conscious).

Hmm I’ll think of more

Classic bait and switch!

[helpallthenamesaretaken]

friendly reminder that normal is a myth. everyone has issues they're dealing with. and there's a place you need to go, where you belong. where the things that make you different, are the things that make you special. special like your father, yes percy you are special. like food the colour blue, all the things that make you you, are the things that will make you strong. so be strong 🫶🫶

I hate this spooky Mormon hell dream

something something Ponyboy has survivors guilt to the point he's occasionally paralyzed with anxiety thinking about what-ifs something something

oh btw Darry also has survivors guilt since his parents died while trying to get something for him and he was the last one Dallas called:(

I know we like to talk about R's perspective on him and Enj's death a lot, but I feel like we should acknowledge Enjolras' perspective as well because think about it. Enjolras represents all that is belief and faith and passion, and yet is at one of his lowest points in where he is losing hope, his friends are dead and his rebellion went up in flames. So when R, the one who represents all cynicism and doubt, declares he is one of them [the rebels] and dies beside Enjolras when he could have easily ran away? Enjolras smiles in this scene because he convinced the one man who had faith in nothing to believe for once. And if he could do that, he knew that his efforts were at least worth something.

The Outsiders but Johnny survives and when he gets picked up, Two-Bit is zooming him down the hallways of the hospital in his wheelchair.
